Sweet Chapter 15! And it is full of Sheikahs. Three, actually. That's right. Impaz joins the battle. I liked writing her, so now she's officially in. Will other characters not in HW join Impaz and Groose? The answer is probably. It depends on the weapon and how much I like the character. Another one will join this story in this exact chapter.

Now, I'm not a fan of Ocarina of Time, but I do love the characters. If you haven't noticed, most of the included characters not in the game are from Ocarine of Time and Twilight Princess. Sorry, Skyward Sword.

We're halfway done with this part of the story. Let's get to it.

"Oh great. Sheikahs."

After being notified of guests arriving at camp, Joshua headed for the meeting tent. He didn't like the sight of the Sheikah tribe.

He liked Impa.

He loved Impaz.

He hated the rest.

"Your Highness, glad to see you." The elder of the tribe greeted the young ruler who was visibly disturbed by the ninjas's presence.

"Impaz, what brings you here?"

"Can't I not visit my daughter?"

"You can. But I just beat her ass yesterday. She isn't happy."

Impaz gave a chuckled. "Oh, did you? Friends, the leader of our tribe was beat by a Gerudo boy."

You could hear crickets chirping.

"Why are the brain dead asses here? And you?"

"It's our duty to-"

"No."

The elder's eyebrows raised. "No?"

"I don't want the Sheikah involved. Not that I wouldn't enjoy the eradication of such a noble race, but I have one too many. Oh, by the way, your disguise for her got the Hero reeled in."

"Thank you. Then if they won't go, I will."

He looked down. He knew Impaz was a great fighter, especially with her Naginata. Plus he needs someone to watch Impa and Sheik. He smiled. Then frowned.

"Only you. The rest, join up with the remaining troops here in Hyrule."

Hours later

'Damn it all! First he puts her with me, then he beats me, then he sends my mother! I'll kill him.'

The Hyrulean Army marched along the path on Death Mountain. Unlike her allies, Impa's team hasn't enjoyed much action.

She wasn't done with Sheik. Oh no, the imposter wasn't free yet. For all Impa knew, Josh could've been persuaded by Sheik so that the Sheikahs would be together. He quickly turned on her heel.

"You could have accompanied either Link or Lana. Why did you choose to follow me?"

Sheik simply walked past Impa, only making the latter madder. But she kept her voice calm.

"You know, I can't figure you out. How much do you really know of the Sheikah tribe? Tell me, who's your tribe's leader?"

"Impa, which would be you."

"Correct. And there's no one named Sheik in my tribe. HALT!" Soldiers and Sheikahs stopped moving as the two glared at each other. Impa walked up to Sheik. "So then, who does that make you? What are you really after?"

"Saving Hyrule from evil. That's our mission."

"No, that's not your mission!"

Now Sheik was being very bold in her next move, one the older Sheikah didn't expect. She walked up to the general. "Well, I'm not failing my mission. Where's Zelda, Impa?"

Impa grabbed the girl by the scarf. "Don't you-

"HEY! HELP!"

The two Sheikahs looked to the side. There, a young girl with green clothes, hair, and eyes stood with a fairy.

The fairy spoke. "Hey! Listen! Princess Ruto is in trouble!"

Impaz suddenly appeared. "As in Princess Ruto of the Zoras and the Sage of Water?"

The girl spoke. "Exactly. Wait...Impa and Sheik? What are you doing here?"

"We're not the ones you know. We're from the past." Impa looked at Sheik.

"Ah, Saria, the Sage of the Forest. It's an honor to see you. I'm Impaz. And if I'm correct...Navi, I presume?"

"Yes."

"What happened?"

"She was abducted by the Gorons!"

"What?"

"No way!"

"Why, my dear fairy?"

"I don't know."

"Their leader Darunia used to be a gentle soul. Someone named Zelda showed up and...he hasn't been the same since!"

Impa was beyond surprised. "ZELDA? PRINCESS ZELDA IS HERE?"

The troops who didn't know what was going on started to cheer. "Finally!"

"This doesn't seem right, daughter. Sage, join us. You got a weapon?"

Saria pulled out her Deku Rod. "Yes. Came directly from the Great Deku Tree."

Sheik nodded. "Then let's go and see with our own eyes."

"Alright boys! Intruders are incoming! Let's give them a rocky start!

The Hyruleans had just set up their base and formulated a plan when they hear rumbling. They simply ignored it.

"I'm concerned about our primary mission. But first we have to rescue Princess Ruto."

The rumblings continued.

"Yes. Saria, join Sheik. Impa and I need some mother-daughter time. Take the right side."

"YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE! YOU SHALL NOT PASS!"

"HEY, THIS IS HYRULE WARRIORS, NOT LORD OF THE RINGS! HYRULEANS, DIG THESE ROCKS UP!"

'Mothers...'

Sheik and Saria time

The princess in disguise and the Kokiri sage scaled the right side of the mountain as they took the East Keep and advanced up the mountain.

"LOOK OUT!" A huge boulder rolled down the mountain. The heroes and soldiers quickly dodged it.

"Thanks Navi. Those boulders are going to the base. We must hurry Sheik!"

"Definitely." Playing the worse game of dodgeball, everyone made it to the East Boulder Keep.

Fighting things that were strong and resilient as rock wasn't easy. However, Impa imbued the weapons of the soldiers with water magic, which can easily weaken the Gorons's rocky protection. Of course, the Gorons were clueless, and were defeated with minimal Hyrulean casualties. Sheik felt remorseful, but this is war. Kill, or be killed. And her death isn't something that needs to happen.

"Alright, this stops the boulders on this side. Let's check the other." The soldiers went ahead of the heroes.

"Saria, help them. I want to investigate how they move these boulders."

"Alright." The little Kokiri skipped her way to the next keep.

When she got there, the Goron forces were nearly. Summoning roots from the ground, Saria created a copy of the Great Deku Tree. Any Gorons caught were unfortunately taken out.

Sheik studied the mechanics behind the boulders, and began to form a plan. All she needed was to confirm the West Boulder Keep was the same.

She almost made it to the West Boulder Keep. A Goron was in her way. The Goron we know and love.

"Who dares attack the noble Gorons?! Whoever you are, prepare to battle a Goron Chieftain!"

Darunia, Sage of Fire and Chieftain of the Gorons. Sheik was terrified. 'We need him to calm down so that we can get some answers. I must knock him out.'

Easier thinking it than doing it.

Darunia wields the Megatron Hammer. It sounds painful to be hit with. Sheik dodged his attacks with it before he switched up. Out of nowhere, a large igneous rock came from his hands and he threw it at Sheik. Barely missed her. Playing the Serenade of Water, Sheik formed a barrier around her to protect herself.

'The Serenade of Water!'

Sheik dodged another attack from the Goron as he created lava with his hammer. Quickly playing the Serenade, a water tornado caught the Sage of Fire and began to weaken him. Sheik didn't let up. Deciding to fight fire with fire, a pillar of fire hit the Chieftain when the Bolero of Fire was played. Sheik then jumped as she strummed the Nocturne of Shadow, and sent a diving kick and shadow magic to the Gorons belly. He was beaten. Sheik gave a series of quick strikes before ending the attack with a tune.

"Not bad...I'll have to withdraw for now, but only so I can strike back twice as hard!" The Goron rolled back up the mountain.

Saria met back up with Sheik in the West Boulder Keep. "They're getting reinforcements! Plus, the other Sheikahs aren't here yet!"

"Then where are they?"

Impa and Impaz time

"How are there so many of them, Impa?"

"Good question, but if we don't get to Sheik and Saria, we'll never end this! Leave the defense of the base to the soldiers!"

The Sheikahs finally entered the East Keep.

"Let me have this, daughter. Hiiiiiiiyaaaaah!" Six giant blades surrounded the Gorons as they were caught in a fiery pit. Those six blades came down.

The gates to the upper parts of the mountain opened and the Hyrulean force swarmed through it. The three generals and the sage met up once again.

"Impa, Impaz, we need to defend these keeps. You two defend the West. We'll defend the East. I have a plan, but these keeps are vital to it."

"Whatever you say, whippersnapper! Let's go kick shove rocks down their throats!" As their companions left, the mother and daughter, they were giving a special guest.

"Back to fighting strength! Now it's time to rock you!"

"Mother, I got him. You focus on defense." Blade crossed hammer as, once again for the third time, fire and water battle. However, unlike Sheik, Impa had a strategy from the beginning. Gorons were though, but slow.

Dodge. Attack. Dodge. Attack. Dodge. Attack. And unlike Sheik, Impa had a full arsenal of water attacks. Darunia was easily conquered and Impa finished by slicing the ground under him before water shot up from it.

The Goron Chieftain retreated once again as Sheik called to them. "Everything is ready. Lower the levers to release the boulders!"

The boulders rolled up the mountain, and made way for the Chieftain's Room. They crashed into a giant vase, the source of the Chieftain's food supply.

Darunia was infuriated. "Ahh! The premium rock sirloin hidden in my chambers! It's ruined! GRAH! You just got between a rock and a hard place! Gorons! Move out!"

They enacted a plan. Several Bombchus were deployed, all heading for a Hyrulean keep.

"Bombchus are usually controlled by an operator. Find him and take him out. We could use the Bombchus to take out their keeps instead."

"Nice plan, Sheik."

Within minutes, the explosive rats were exploding in the East and West Goron Keeps. Now all that was left is the Goron Chieftain.

The four heroes looked the room, and two Poes appeared.

"I feel as if the sorceress is behind this. Could she be controlling the Gorons?"

"Defeat the Poes, and we could probably save Darunia!"

Saria stepped up. "I got this. Stay back."

"Little one, we need to work together. How in the name of Hylia do you think you could take him down?"

Saria looked at the elder. "There's a technique called Focus Spirit. It allows you to increase speed and attack. Watch."

Saria walked up into the room as water began to surround her. "Darunia, Sage of Fire, you shall be free!" She twirled her staff before striking a pose, and blue light encased her. Her friends were astonished.

Saria first picked off one Poes with a Deku Leaf attack. The other was defeated by two small waves of water crashing into each other.

Darunia was weakened by the Poes defeat. "Woah. I feel kinda strange..."

Turning to Darunia, Saria quickly struck him several times before encasing him in ice and breaking it. Feeling her power wearing off, she summoned a Deku Sprout and mounted upon it. She charged at struck him hard on the head. He was out for the 10 count.

Saria kneeled beside her opponent as the energy wore off.

"What was that?"

"Focus Spirit. It's an advance technique only for those with magical abilities like the Sages."

"What about the Hero?"

"Always the exception to the rule. He can use it as well. I'll teach you how to use it later. He's waking up." Right on time, the Goron woke up.

"HUH? WE SURRENDER! WE GIVE UP!" The Goron rose and looked around. "Saria? Impa? Sheik? What are you doing here?"

"You attacked us, you rock headed fool!"

"Who's the old lady?"

"Excuse me, Darunia, but this is my mother. We're not the people you know. We're from a thousand years in the future. Kinda hard to explain."

"Oh. I didn't realize what we were doing. Forgive us! Someone was twisting our minds."

Sheik put a hand on the Goron's shoulder. "Would you mind releasing Princess Ruto?"

"Oh! Yeah! Of course! Man, I feel terrible for everything we've been doing."

Minutes later, Darunia returned with the Zora Princess. "Hello Saria."

"Ruto."

"Well, that was a terrible experience." She looked at the others. "Darunia has explained everything to me. Welcome Sheik, Impa, and Crazy Lady. I am Ruto, Princess of the Zoras."

Impaz leaned towards Sheik. "Oh, this is gonna be good when we get back home."

Impa walked towards the Sages. "Who did all this?"

"You want to know who caused all this? I'll explain, but not until we leave this flithy mountain, and head for Lake Hylia"

Impa and Sheik didn't like where this was going.

Seems someone doesn't want to get wet! Next chapter, we return to Skyward Sword. What is Ghirahim's fabulous plan this time?
