Hello guys, and welcome to Chapter 14. We're nearly halfway into the story, and...I'm stuck on where to fit Tingle. I'll figure it out.
Link and Groose time! Groose will have the Gauntlets/Ball and Chain weapon.
"These monsters are Groosin' for a brusin'!"
The Knights of Skyloft returned to the home, and are slowly gaining ground. Along with their base, they had the Fairy Fountain, the Town Center, and the Statue of Hylia Keeps. However, they had no way to access the northern parts of Skyloft, and the western areas were filled with monsters.
In short, they had a 20% of victory. 10% if Ghirahim and Volga showed up. Within two hours, 3% chance of victory. Their batteries are running low, readers.
It's been two days since the first attack, and still no sign of Link and the others. Luckily, the residents were evacuated before the attack, and Groose and his friends were returning to the floating island. He somehow made it before everything happened. Fi's return was also a surprise, but now she was hidden as a sword. Groose and several soldiers were guarding her now.
"How's the soups coming along?"
"Great, Groose. We need some more time and a clear path."
Groose brushed his hair back. "We'll need a hero. We need Link."
"Any moment now, they should be showing up."
Volga and Ghirahim went in the North Rockface Keep, watching over the battle on the main island. Over the last two days, Volga learned so much about the flamboyant demon. He even grew to respect him. But what was really on his mind was Cia and the events that happened between them the night before the Dark Forces attacked Skyloft. He hadn't had intercourse in 500 years, and that night was fabulous. Her moans of pleasure mixed with his, her fabulous body touched by his hands, her lips on his...Bliss. And like a kid around candy, he wanted more. Unbeknownst to him, Cia was secretly thinking the same.
Ghirahim, however, was curious about the Dragon Knight, yet never questioned him. The demon respected his companion's skill, but his tendency to be reserved made him a puzzle.
"Will that aggravating Hylia and the even more aggravating Hero be here? I can't wait to kill the descendants of my enemies."
"Her Majesty decided that it was genderbender week. She attempted to dress as a male Sheikah like her ancestor."
Ghirahim had the most fabulous surprised face ever. "YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS?!"
Volga chuckled. That's rare. "True. But she has forgotten that men don't have certain chest." 'Unlike Cia.'
"Look at those pathetic bugs. Bugs were meant to be squashed. When Spirit and Blood return, I'll crush their spirit and drink their blood. I'll savor their taste. I might even get some taste of Hylia. See what keeps the hero coming back for more."
"Don't kill him. Cia wants him alive." He carefully hid the distaste in his voice.
"Oh, he'll be so close to death, he'll be grateful to be actually alive. He should probably watch me and Hylia make our movie. Too bad its rated F for Fabolous! Hahahahahahahahaha...Oh, look who has join the party! Let's give them the cold shoulder!"
Groose swung his chain as the ball on the end swooped up the Bokoblins. The soups were ready, now they just needed a path and a miracle. A Deku Baba blocked the quick way, and monsters flocked the long way. It they couldn't call on Levais, the island couldn't be saved.
"Come on guys, lets show 'em why we're the...What is that?"
A huge portal formed near the closed Fairy Fountain, and soldiers poured form it. Unlike the tunic wearing Knights of Skyloft, these knights wore armor. The insignia of a bird and the Triforce gave Groose a clue that they were hopefully allies, as Link's shield bore a similar emblem. And if these guys had that symbol...
"Reinforcements, guys! Secure the path to Fi!" He looked back. He saw him. Or someone who looked like his friend. "Le héros est ici!"
The cry rang among the ranks of the Skyloftians, and their hope had risen.
"Whoa, Link! I can't believe it! The island is floating in the sky!"
Link and Proxi were amazed at the sight, but had no time to enjoy it. The Dark Forces beat them here, and the soldiers of Skyloft were vastly outnumbered. Link could've swore he just saw a redhead male and a dragon in the distance. Wait, a dragon?
"Is that the dragon knight from before in charge of the opposing forces? I can take him!" Link charged into the fray, quickly taking down the Bokoblins and, with some strategy, the belly flopping Moblins. He eventually, unintentionally, was side by side with Groose.
"Link?"
"Groose? What are you doing here?"
"Where have you been? Where's Zelda?"
"How do you...Oh, wait, you're THE Groose! I'm not the Link you know. But we're related."
Groose punched a Bokoblin and sent it flying. "What?"
"Time travel."
"That again?"
"Yep."
"HEY! Look at you! What's with the hair?"
"...that's my rude fairy."
"Hmph." Link and Groose came closer and closer to the Goddess Statue. There, Link heard a voice. "Link...Master... for you under the Goddess Statue."
"That's Fi, Link. We need the soup and her assistance. Let's go!" The trio ran to the back of the statue, taking out the Deku Baba in the process. They entered the keep as the soldiers inside finished the final preparations for the soup. "Are we ready, guys?"
"Yes, Groose."
"Then let's make a plan." While Groose did that, Link walked over to the Goddess Sword. It disappeared into a flash of light before the sword spirit appeared. Link looked in amazement as he recognized the spirit.
She stared at the new hero, surprised it wasn't the one who she knew, and spoke. "My name is Fi. I was waiting for you."
Link just stared.
"You are not the Master, but I can consider you a Master."
Link cocked his head to the side. "Why?"
"My mission is to serve you." She flew into his personal space. "My assistance is necessary for your success. Shall I accompany you?"
Link nodded, scared of the sword spirit and not looking forward to meeting his friends again if Proxi tells them about this. He could hear Josh now.
"Groose, I shall carry the soups. You and Link can clear the way."
"Thanks a ton, Fi."
"What's the soup for?"
Groose grinned. "You'll see."
Groose and his troops led the charge outside the Goddess Statue with the Hyrulean troops following. With the path eventually cleared, the sword spirit brought one of the soups.
It was waved over the gap between their location and the opposing side. A booming voice echoed over the battle. "Ho oh! My favorite soup! Did you bring it for me?"
"Lord Levias, we ask you for your help to defeat those threatening the sky. Will you aid us?"
"Ah yes. So the roads have crumpled? Well, Let me see what I can do." Levias rose from the clouds, knocking a small island into the gap, making a path to the northern keeps back into place. The soup was his reward.
Ghirahim was furious! Outraged! Sick with anger! "Ah, so the Great Spirit of the Sky has shown up. Levias, you flying nuisance! Begone!" The paths to the southern parts of the city were open, and Ghirahim had a fabulous plan. "The road is open once more...well, taking the enemy's base should brighten my mood."
Link raced to the south with his troops and Fi behind him. They still had one more path to form.
"Master, the Demon Lord is ahead, making his way to our base. I suggest..."
The Groosenator walked up. "Groose will give him a big bruise for coming here. I'll take him. You complete your task." The big boy took off for the demon.
"Ghirahim!"
The demon turned and saw the Skyloftian. "You again! This time...OOOOFFFFF!"
Ball to face. "Now it's Groose Time!" Dropping the ball, Groose began to beat the Demon Lord as the gauntlets boosted the boy's strength. Ghirahim, despite his powers, was easily bested by a boy once again.
"Grrr. These fools..."
"GROOSE..."
"...are so insensitive. Volga, make yourself useful."
"PUNCH!"
Ghirahim was sent flying off the island.
The Academy and the West Town Keeps were gained as the Hero and his servant made it to their destination.
"Ho oh, was it you that called me? Shall I connect the paths for you again."
The same procedure occurred again, and the deity was given the second soup and the deity disappeared beneath the clouds.
"Master, further progress can be made. The enemy base is now accessible."
"Then let's a go!"
"Hoorah! Now we can take on that dragon knight, Link!"
Speaking of the Dragon Knight.
The warrior wasn't pleased with Ghirahim's stunt earlier, and was deeply mad with the Hyrulean Army. "You, advance on their base. Leave the grasshopper to me!" The knight searched for his prey, and found in in the South Rockface Keep. "Ah, this might be interesting. Are you ready to fight a real warrior?"
"I kicked your scaly ass once, and I'll do it again."
"Cockiness will kill you, boy."
"Not cocky. Certain. Hiyah!" Sword clanged against staff as the warriors fought. Link once again held his own against the stronger warrior, but Volga couldn't keep up with the speed of the boy.
BAM!
Struck with a Shield Bash, Volga was immediately stunned and Link attacked with the Great Spin Attack. "Don't make me laugh! I was expecting a battle worth my time, not this child's play!"
Link laughed. "No, you were child's play, Dragon Knight."
"I'll show you boy! HYYYYYAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The knight began to increase his power. Red highlights encased the man, but Link wasn't fazed. But he knew his limits, so he retreated.
"Fi, how strong has he gotten?"
"Master, his power is over-"
"9000!" Link and Fi looked at the fairy. "Sorry."
"Uh huh."
The booming voice of Levias ranged across the land. "How impudent. If only I were at full strength, I would crush the dragon like the snake he is."
Groose immediately had a plan. "Boys, we have a Great Fairy to call on!" The Skyloftian warriors made their way towards the fountain. They opened the door to the fountain, and Groose called upon the Great Fairy.
"Great Fairy, heed my call! We need your help." The famous laugh of the filled the room as she appeared.
"Why hello, young Groose. I know of your plight, and shall answer your prayer. Fairies, we have a deity to feed!"
The fairies raised a giant pumpkin, with soup inside, into the air. The Sky Spirit came, saw, and conquered the soup. However, this was had a little zap in it. Upon eating it, electricity spread into the upper keeps, hitting and draining Volga. Link ran for cover as the lightning struck the ground around him.
When everything was said and done, Levias took his leave. "Is that enough divine intervention for you? Good, I grow tired."
Link and Volga resumed their battle. But Link definitely had the upper hand. "Ugh...how could you..."
"I did nothing. Thank my allies. But this is from me!" Link stepped back and thrusted his sword powerfully, pushing the knight back.
Volga, despite his urge to fight, knew he was weakened. He summoned his wings. "I would have defeated you if not for the sky lord's interference." Volga retreated to parts unknown.
"We won! Phew! That should give us a chance to breathe for a second or two!"
"Definitely, Proxi."
Groose and the Knights of Skyloft came and gave their thanks, unbeknownst to them, a demon has done his works on a captain.
Long after the battle, Link was inside the Academy. The same room his ancestor would've inhabited thousands of years ago.
"Master Link, are you alright?"
"Yes Fi."
"I detect a 95% chance you miss the descendant of Her Grace and my Master. Who are also your ancestors."
"Why are we so connected?"
"I cannot answer that. But I guess the Spirit and Blood are connected on a level beyond Demise's curse. Perhaps the love of Link and Hylia were also reincarnated."
"Her name was Zelda."
"No. Not the mortal goddess. The goddess herself."
"Oh...Did you know the first Link?"
"We met before Skyloft was sent into the sky. He...was extraordinary. Like my master. Like you. He even wore a scarf."
Link looked at the window. "Really?"
"But all heroes have a flaw. His was overconfidence. My master's was love. The Hero of Time apparently was childish, and the Hero of Twilight, like the wolf he was, he was easily provoked to anger. But they overcame it. You must find it."
Link scoffed. He rose and proceeded to leave the room. "My flaw is that I will not fail. I'll be the best hero ever."
The hero left the room for parts unknown. Fi hovered in thought. "Cockiness is your flaw, Link."
