"Zzzzz…"
"Wake up."
"Zzzzzzzz…"
"Wake up…"
"Zzzzzzz…"
"Alright. You give me no choice."
Fi grabbed the cover off of Link's bed and yanked it off, sending him crashing to the ground.
"Zzzz…"
Fi sweatdropped. "The supposed Hero of Destiny is a heavier sleeper than I thought…" She mused, seeing Link sprawled out as he snored loudly. She gently pressed her finger on his forehead. "Awaken."
"Zzz… wha…?!" Link sat up in his room. "What in…? How did I get on the floor?"
BGM: Knight Academy (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"I must admit, I underestimated how much of a heavy sleeper you are."
Link rubbed the back of his head. "Considering I didn't notice I was napping on another island…" He shook his head with a chuckle as he walked out of his room, heading to the dining area where most of the heroes were eating.
"Mmmm… woo!" Leone stretched. "That hit the spot~!"
"Oh gods… my poor stomach…" Tatsumi groaned, patting his stomach but then noticed that Mine, Kotoko, and Groose's plates were still left uneaten, the breakfast consisting of bacon, sausage, roasted tomatoes, scrambled eggs, and butter on toast. "Wait… are Mine and Kotoko still in bed?"
"Yeah, Mine always sleeps this late, remember?" Akame reminded. "And Kotoko's still outside in the village for her early morning jog." She stared at their plates, drool escaping her lips… before she quickly started to grab them and devoured them on sight.
"Gah!" Anya yelped in surprise, staring at Akame going to town with wide eyes.
"...She's not human." Loid stared in disbelief.
"Yeah, eat eat eat eat eat! Devour that food!" Kokichi cheered her on.
And I thought Nora had a big appetite… Weiss thought in disbelief while Manaphy looked on in awe. Oran and Laura jawdropped while Masaru couldn't believe his eyes.
"G-goodness! Are you even tasting it?" Nesta wondered.
"Oh wow…" Lana said with intrigue.
"Interesting… I see Wild Link has competition." Cia mused.
"She could take Natsu and Gajeel a run for their money…" Laxus said, completely unfazed by what he was seeing.
Yor smiled. She still has the true speed of a Mikazuchi assassin! I'm so proud of her!
Goodness, I've forgotten how fast she eats… then again, she had a reputation for this sort of thing back in the guild. Maki thought to herself.
Kurome sighed. "Sis… you gotta learn to slow down." She said… before she shrugged. "Eh, what can I say? You got it from me anyway." She proceeded to eat just as quick as her.
SHE'S A BIG EATER TOO?! Weiss thought. "...I think I just lost my appetite…" She mumbled, shoving her plate to the side as Manaphy's eyes sparkled and ate what was left on her mama's plate.
Nesta sweatdropped. "Honestly, I'm worried that you two will choke on your food…"
"I… don't think that will be a problem." Kirumi sweatdropped.
"Mmm~" Akame finished the three plates and then let out a belch. "Oh, excuse me…" She got up and walked off right as Groose walked by.
"Uh…" He blinked. "Anyone know what happened to my breakfast?"
"Long story…" Tatsumi said, noticing three empty seats with empty plates. "Huh? Where did Sayo, Ieyasu and Kokoron go?"
"Oh, them? They went back to their rooms to get changed after they finished eating their breakfast. They told me it wouldn't be that long." Chelsea said.
"Oh! That reminds me." Yor spoke up as she walked away, right as Akame peeked her head back in.
"Oh, wait! Before I forget… Tatsumi, you and Wave will be helping me and Kurome with some fishing later this afternoon."
Tatsumi blinked. "Uh… why?"
"My sister and I are planning to make assorted seafood dishes for all of us later this evening for dinner. Plus, Wave already agreed to help us out later too."
"Alright, I guess that'll do." Tatsumi chuckled as Akame walked away right as a very fatigued Mine walked in.
"Mornin'..." Mine grumbled.
"Whoa, you look like you've seen better days… why do you look so tired?" Tatsumi asked.
"Ooooh…" She glared at Wolf Link. "No reason…"
Pause BGM
Last night…
"Awooooooooooo!" Wolf Link howled outside, his back against the wall and howled at the moon. "Awoooooooooo!"
Unfortunately for Mine, he was howling right outside her window.
"Mmmmm!" Mine put her pillow over her head.
"Awoooooooo!"
If he wasn't a legendary Hero in this world, I'D SHOOT HIM!
"Awoooooooooooooo!"
A cross vein appeared on her forehead. "Rrrrgh… WILL YOU SHUT UP!"
"Oi! Keep it down lady, I'm trying to sleep here!"
"How can you sleep through this!"
Back in the present…

"Oh, don't be like that." Midna said, casually eating some toast in her imp form. "It's not his fault it was a full moon last night. Besides, he's a wolf. They tend to howl at night last I checked."
"THAT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING!" Mine yelled, while Wolf Link sweatdropped at this. "Oi…"
"Someone's grumpy…" A voice said as Kotoko walked in with a towel over her neck, proceeding to get herself a glass of water.
"At least you were spared from the feeling of having to wake up with less sleep from all that noise… and another thing, how come I didn't see you in bed when I woke up?"
"About that… I woke up early in the morning awhile ago for some jogging around the village."
"Whoa, since when did you start exercising?" Masaru wondered.
"Ever since Mine started teaching me tai chi and MMA." She downed her glass of water. "Besides, now I wake up every five in the morning just for a quick run around the neighborhood either in Vacuo or Vale."
Mine sweatdropped. "Huh… that explains why I often see you drenched in sweat or taking a quick shower you come back to the house before breakfast every morning…" She then yawned. "Ugh… y'all got any coffee? I think I need a boost today…"
"Wait a moment… what happened to my breakfast…?" Kotoko wondered as Ieyasu, Sayo and Kokoro walked in wearing different outfits.
"Sorry about the wait!" Ieyasu smiled, wearing a dark brown shirt worn underneath a beige hooded utility jacket with a black underside, a pair of black denim pants held together by a dark brown leather belt, and a pair of chocolate brown hiking shoes with black and dark tan accents while still wearing his white martial arts headband.
Sayo sported a purplish white kimono knot top held together with a lilac-colored obi sash like a belt around her belly, complete with a black undershirt, a pair of gray chino pants, and a pair of white shell-toe sneakers with black stripes and accents. Her Selene's Bane moonstone bangle was on her left wrist and had a pair of wireless headphones on her head, having purple colored butterfly prints on the ear cups and a butterfly-like accessory located on the right side with it being colored white and designed differently. Her hair had a single streak of a light shared of cerulean on her left forelock.
As for Kokoro, she had a loosely tucked in cream white sleeveless button-up blouse with a chiffon collar tied with a yellow ribbon underneath a beige unbuttoned puff-sleeve cropped knit cardigan, a golden brown brown plaid high-waist pleated mini skirt, a pair of black knee high socks, and a pair of dark brown slip-on chunky loafers with gold buckles. Her dirty blonde twintails are now tied behind the ear with a pair of small black hair ties and her bangs are now brushed towards the left with two loose forelocks, while still keeping her newsboy cap, leather satchel, golden heart choker pendant, and her Helios' Recurve on her right wrist.
"Oh wow!" Masaru said. "You look amazing, Kokoron!"
Kokoro smiled, lightly blushing as she looked away. "Th-thanks, Masaru…" She said.
"Alriiiight, I'm ready to-" Sayo spotted Blanche sitting in a corner eating her breakfast. "Blanche…? What the heck are you doing there?"
"Oh, you know… eating breakfast… away from that devil dog…"
Sayo and Ieyasu sweatdropped. "Oh boy…" They both said.
"Oh come on, he's not that ba-"
"No no." Midna interrupted Weiss. "Considering how much of a beast he is in human form, that's not entirely wrong…" Wolf Link gave her a glare. "Oh, you know it's true!"
"I take it she's scared of dogs…" Yuri said.
"Ooooh, riiiight…" Cardin grimaced. "I almost forgot about that."
"What do you mean?" Chelsea wondered.
"Well, long story short, she's scared of dogs or anything that looks like them because she got bitten by one just for trying to pet it back when we were kids."
"Oooh, that sucks…" Kotoko grimaced as she was eating her breakfast with Mine, the latter having some coffee.
"Yeeeah, I remember how every time she sees me trying to bring a stray puppy inside our house, she always would scream her head off and that mom and dad would make me return puppies back to where I found them."
Sayo sighed. "And… remember that time we took her to a dog cafe in Vale last week with Tatsumi?"
Pause BGM
Last week at Vale…
"A d-d-dog c-c-cafe…?!" Blanche paled as she stared at the building in front of her and her friends.
"Yup~!" Sayo nodded. "Welcome to Inuko Cafe! My favorite dog cafe out here in Vale!"
"I-I'm not sure if this is a g-g-good idea, Sayo…" Blanche whimpered as she tried to escape,but Sayo grabbed her by the arm.
"Upupup! There's no escaping this, Blanche! I spent a lot of time and money planning for this hangout, and i'm not gonna let you weasel your way out for this one!"
"Wh-what?!" Anime tears rolled down her cheeks. "You're so mean…"
Ieyasu grinned while lightly patting Blanche on the back. "Ah, lighten up, B! Besides, maybe this whole experience can be the best time for us to help you conquer that fear of yours!"
Blanche sulked. What have I gotten myself into?
Tatsumi sweatdropped. I don't know if I should feel bad for her or not…
BGM: Bath Time (Nintendogs)
A few minutes inside later…
So far, not a single dog has come near me so far… Blanche thought as a few puppies were licking Tatsumi's face, Sayo was petting a friendly Great Dane as Ieyasu petted a golden retriever. "Maybe I could get used to this." She said, drinking some coffee.
"Arf! Arf!"
"Mmmph!" Blanche froze, seeing a white teacup Pomeranian approaching her. Maybe not!
"Oooh, that's so cute!" Sayo gushed, her eyes sparkling.
"Eek!" Blanche yelped, flinching back from her seat and almost spilling her coffee.
"C'mon, B! It's just a small pup! What's the worst that can happen?" Ieyasu asked.
"I-It's not the size I should be worried about… it's those fangs..! A-and if they bite you… death!"
Tatsumi sweatdropped. "I think you're just overreacting…"
"Aww, he won't bite you~" Sayo cooed as she picked up the tiny dog. "Isn't that right?"
"Arf!" The teacup Pomeranian yipped in response as he affectionately licked Sayo's cheek, causing her to giggle.
"Sayo, careful! Wh-who know if he's gonna-"
A lightbulb appeared on Sayo's head. "Wait a sec! Maybe this little cutie right here can help you get used to being around dogs!" She said, causing Blanche to freeze in fear as she brought the puppy to her face.
"Um…" Blanche whimpered, where the Pomeranian affectionately licked her nose. "KYAAAAAAAAAAAH!" She screamed as she ran inside a bathroom and locked herself up in a stall, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"She's even terrified around puppies?" Tatsumi sweatdropped.

"Soooo… I guess showing her Zwei is out of the question…" Oran said.
"Or a Shih Tzu…" Masaru said.
"Or a Lillipup or a Rockruff…" Kotoko added.
"Or Bond." Anya added.
"Hmm… what about dog Faunus? Are you okay with them?" Weiss asked.
Blanche shyly poked her fingers together. "I… I mean… I'm actually okay with being around a dog or Wolf faunus… but the actual ones…? That's a whole different story for me…"
Glad she'll be okay around Seryu… Weiss thought. "Don't fret too much over it. I have a close friend who used to really be scared around dogs just like you do, It was kinda slow… but she eventually got used to being around them with a little help." She smiled. …I wonder how that dalmatian is doing?
"I say give her time." A voice mentioned as they turned to see Yor walking back in in her Thorn Princess attire. "She'll come around to liking dogs on her own terms."
Kurome gasped. "You kept it after running away?"
"I wasn't going to burn it… I look cute in it." Yor winked.
She still rocks it too… Maki thought.
"Whoa, mom! You look beautiful in that!" Chelsea complimented.
Yor blushed. "Aw, thanks sweetie!"
"Whoa…" Loid said, taking a good look at her. Not bad!
"Pretty!" Anya's eyes sparkled.
"Looking great, aunt Yor." Shuichi said.
"Maaaaan, how come you haven't scored any dates with that?" Kokichi wondered before side-eying his dad. "Oh wait."
"H-hey! I… I lightened up a bit…" Yuri mumbled.
"I advise that we should get going." Fi mentioned.
"Hold up a moment!" Gaepora approached. "Link doesn't look like he's fit for adventure." He pulled out a green tunic. "Not unless he wears this though."
Lana peeked behind him. "I also went into his room and pulled this from his bed!" She said, pulling out a blanket. "It could act like a sailcloth!"
"Judging by the width of that blanket, I predict a seventy five percent chance that he will receive serious injuries." Fi said.
"A twenty five percent chance that he'll live? I like those odds…" Cia chuckled. "And if he breaks his legs, I can take care of him~"
Lana smacked her upside the head. "Behave."
"I was just kidding! Geez…" Cia shook her head.
Link sweatdropped. "Why do I feel like I should be concerned?"
"Ah… I'm sure it'll be fine." Midna waved it off. "Probably."
Wolf Link breathed a sigh of relief.
Ravio sweatdropped. Why do I feel like I'm dodging a bomb arrow here?
End BGM
One suited up Link later…
BGM: Skyloft (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
Link strapped his blade to his sheath and his wooden shield on his back, and his adventure pouch fitted snugly against his hip. "Alright, I'm ready to go."
"There's just one problem." Fi said. "I have failed to mention that our adversary had managed to destroy the tablets that will grant us access beyond the cloud sea. It will be harder to navigate, not to mention piercing through the thick clouds that will take us to the surface would be next to impossible."
"The surface…" Link mumbled. "Zelda had mentioned that the other day… but I thought she was going crazy."
"Pah! Surface? Please… I'm sure she's over at a different floating island somewhere." Groose said.
"However… we are fortunate that we have an alternative with us. A way that we can pierce through the cloud barrier and she is standing before us."
"Oh! Me!" Lana smiled.
"No."
"Silly. She obviously means me." Cia said proudly.
"Also no."
"...What?"
Fi turned to Weiss. "You. Weiss Schnee."
"Me?" Weiss asked in surprise.
"Her?" The timekeepers looked at her in confusion.
"You have a godly power within you, do you not?"
"Oh!" Weiss nodded as she immediately went Fierce Deity. "You mean this?"
"Indeed."
"FIERCE DEITY?!" The sisters yelled in surprise.
"Oooh, so this is what you were referring to!" Kirumi looked intrigued.
"Wh-buh-wha-duh-guh… wha… HUH?!" Lana yelled. "When in the name of Lanayru did THIS happen?!"
"You can thank Damian." Weiss said. "He knocked Young Link's mask off of his hand and it landed near me. As such, I was visited by the Fierce Deity himself and granted me his power. Needless to say, I don't need a mask to go into Fierce Deity mode."
"You don't need a mas-... but Hilda needs to use it in that fourth timeline…" Cia rubbed her head. "That's perplexing."
"Hilda? As in Hilda Valentine Goneril? Lazy as heck and complains about work Hilda? THAT Hilda?"
"The very same." Lana nodded.
"...HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"
"Sheer dumb luck." Both of them said, causing Weiss to sweatdrop.
"So, how am I going to pierce through the sky?"
"You have your longsword, do you not?"
Weiss brought out Eiskönigin. "Yeah?"
"Just as I thought…" Fi flew over to investigate. "I sense great power coming from this form, yet you willingly choose to have your power be at mid capacity."
"Well… that's because I want to give my foes a chance."
"Commendable, but let's have you go at full capacity." Fi said. "Close your eyes and open your heart to the power of Fierce Deity. Let your heart shine brightly!"
End BGM
Weiss closed her eyes. Let your full power course through me…
She inhaled and exhaled deeply.
I am one with Fierce Deity… let my power SHINE FORTH!
BGM: Ballad of the Goddess (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
Weiss opened her eyes, a silver aura surrounded her as both Myrtenaster and Eiskönigin glowed brightly, merging together as a gigantic silver ice sword, both sides of the blade were serrated, a gun barrel inside the hilt as the blade had a razor sharp point at the end. The Triforce appeared on the blade with her emblem in the middle of the three triangles.
Weiss raised her sword to the sky, electricity coursing through it as a massive lightning bolt struck the tip of the blade, causing it to glow a deeper shade of silver.
"Show me the way to Faron Woods! HRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Weiss swung her sword down, where a massive silvery Skyward Strike shot across the sea of clouds, leaving a trail of ice behind it as the Skyward Strike came to a stop, where a massive lightning bolt slammed into it, causing it to explode with energy, opening up a massive hole in the clouds.
"She has done it! The path to Faron Woods has opened up!" Fi exclaimed.
"Gee-heeeeeez! Now that's how you make an entrance!" Kokichi exclaimed.
"You think she may have the power to wield the Master Sword?" Cia whispered.
"I wouldn't be surprised…" Lana whispered back.
Weiss turned to the others, a smile on her face. "Shall we then?"
Oran's eyes sparkled in awe. "Amazing!"
Kirumi smiled. She's grown into such an amazing young lady… She thought with pride.
Weiss hopped on Azure with Oran hopping on as well, Manaphy sitting on his head as Kirumi and Whitley hopped on as well.
With a snap of her fingers, Weiss made a fleet of ice Nevermores for everyone to ride on.
"I have to ride on that thing…?" Laxus's face immediately turned green just thinking about it.
Zapple immediately pulled out a small cup as she zipped away to the water, dipped the cup into it and came back to Laxus, pulling out some medicine.
"Here, this'll tide you over." She said gently as Laxus immediately took it.
"Thanks." He hopped on a Nevermore, taking Zapple's hand as he helped up Mercury and Hazel as they all flew off, Link hopping on his Crimson Wing as they flew toward the hole.
Groose, meanwhile, was too awe-struck at what he just witnessed that he didn't move… until his own Loftwing pecked him to snap him out of it.
"Gah! Right…" Groose hopped on his Loftwing and flew after the others, where he would see most of them diving while Link decided to hop off his Loftwing.
Groose smirked, deciding to hop off of his Loftwing and free fell into Faron Woods. "...Wait, do I have a parachute with me?"
End BGM
"Uh oh…" Groose grimaced before spotting Link. An idea came to him, causing him to smirk.
Link focused as he free fell to the ground. Unlike everyone else, he decided to land with style, there was absolutely no way for him to mess up. He had to save Zelda, with or without the goddess sword! What was the worst that could happen?
"OI! LIIIIINK!"
"Hmm?" Link looked up… to see Groose coming in hot.
BGM: Groose's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"COMING THROUGH!"
"Waaaah!" Link yelled in surprise as Groose grabbed his ankle and pulled him down faster. "What are you doing?! Get off! Get your own glider!"
"I don't have my own glider! You're my glider!"
"THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SEEEENSE!" Link yelled as he pulled out his blanket to try and slow his descent, but unfortunately with all the extra weight over his ankles, he still fell like a rock.
"Hey! We're coming in hot! Slow us down!"
"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE I'M DOING?!"
CRASH!
"...Did that seriously just happen?" Shuichi wondered.
"Ugh… idiot…" Midna shook her head. "Maybe if we're lucky, pompadour dies and we won't have to worry about him ever again."
End BGM
Once at the crash zone, Link and Groose were sprawled out, the latter's foot twitching as everyone else landed near them, Weiss hopping off and turning back to normal. "You okay?"
"I've… been better…" Link groaned.
Groose painfully raised his arm up, pointing to the sky. "Never… better…! Just gonna… lie here on the ground and wait for my pride to catch up with me…"
"I am surprised." Fi said. "There was a ninety nine percent probability that both of you would have perished in the crash."
"Just my pride…" Groose mumbled.
"Oh darn, you actually lived… oh, I mean… good, you lived." Midna said. "That being said, WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?!"
Link sat up. "That's what I want to know…"
"Oh, ya know… I was thinking Link would have slowed our descent." Groose said.
Midna pinched the bridge of her nose. "That figures… great, now we still have to deal with Pompadour."
"Pompa-... excuse you! I have a name you know. It's Groose!"
"No, your name isn't that. It's Pompadour. Or dumbass. Or even Falling Rock. Pick your poison."
"Oooooh, how about airbag!" Kokichi added with a cheeky grin.
"That works!"
"What the Hylia is an airbag?" Groose sweatdropped as Lana handed the two a heart potion where they downed it, then sprang back up. "Alright! So where the heck are we?"
"The surface." Lana said.
"The surface!" Groose grinned. "...THE SURFACE?!" He turned around, seeing where he was. "O-oh my Hylia!"
BGM: Sealed Grounds (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"What is this?! What… there's actually ground beneath the clouds! What is this nonsense?! I… is this a dream?! A fairy tale?! What's going on here!"
"He's acting like the ground is a whole new concept for him." Leone said.
"Well, that's what happens when you live in the clouds." Weiss said as they walked off, Midna using her hair to drag Groose away.
"Zelda has to be here somewhere, along with those Ghirahim and Wizzro people…" Link said.
"So… I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but does anyone else feel like the air is heavy around here?" Maki wondered.
"I thought it was just me." Tatsumi said.
"I think I know why." Lana said as she looked down to the bottom of a spiraling mountain to see darkness coming out of a pillar.
"What the heck is that?" Mine wondered as they went down to investigate.
The closer they got to it, the more they could feel the pure evil radiating off of it, it was enough to make a few of them nauseous.
"I… don't feel so good…" Anya said.
"The darkness coming out of that… that's not natural…" Yor grimaced.
Yuri immediately pulled out his gun. "I don't like this…"
Weiss put a hand in front of Oran. "Stay back, Oran… this is way too dangerous." She said, Myrtenaster at the ready as Nesta put her arm out in front of Laura, Loid with Anya, and Blanche did the same with Albedo.
"You think I could absorb this darkness for myself? I could become a true Ultimate Supreme Leader of darkness!" Kokichi said. "Feel the power radiating off of me! Bow down before me, peasants! I am your true dark overlord and-"
"We have to seal it up with a Skyward Strike." Cia said as Weiss went back into her Fierce Deity form as she and Fi proceeded to use a dual Skyward Strike to hit the pillar
"-You didn't let me finish my monologue!"
"Good, it was probably going to sound weird and drawn out anyway." Shuichi said.
"Well, when I have the dark power, we'll see who's laughing now!" Kokichi casually put his hands behind his head.
"The air feels calmer now…" Kirumi said as the ground shook. "...Maybe not!" She exclaimed as suddenly, wind started to come out of the small holes out of the ground.
"Uh… that's different." Kotoko said.
"How strong is the wind?" Akame wondered.
"Well, it's probably not enough to push us off the ground." Mine said as she walked over to it. "If anything, it'll probably be a nice gentle-"
It pushed her high into the air.
"BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEZE!"
"Remind me why we have a knack for jinxing things?" Weiss wondered.
"That… is a good question." Cardin said as they used the wind to get themselves off to higher ground where Mine got up and brushed herself off.
"Freakin wind…" Mine grumbled as they noticed the entrance to the sealed temple opened up.
"Uh… was that seal there before?" Russel wondered.
"I don't think so." Akame said as they walked toward the door and opened it up, weapons at the ready, except for Fi and the sisters that is.

BGM: Sealed Temple (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"You came…" An elderly voice said as they looked to see an old woman sitting at the top of the staircase behind two large doors. "I have sat here for many years, wondering when this day would come. The moment I saw a young woman earlier and seeing the man in green… fate has been set in motion."
"That's going to be a problem…" Lana said as she walked over.
"Ah, the Keeper of Time. The one where you weave the timeline in a cohesive straight line."
Cia sweatdropped. Yeeeeah, come back and talk to us in a few eras…
Lana smiled. "Yeah… I try…" Until the Ocarina of Time showed up and it became one huge mess… She thought to herself. "Anyway, we're here because of-"
"No need. I had read a prophecy that should something different happen to this era, the Keeper of Time will come to try and fix it. I had thought nothing of it, but seeing you here… somehow puts a smile on my face."
"You're not… upset or worried?"
"I'm too old to be worried about anything. Life is short to be upset."
Don't you Kakorikans live for a long time compared to ordinary Hylians though? Cia wondered.
"That said, I am confident that you and your friends, along with the destined Hero of Destiny, will stop the evil."
"You hear that? I'm the Hero of Destiny!" Groose grinned.
"More like the Hero of Dumbassery…" Midna mumbled to herself, although loud enough for Groose to shoot her a glare.
"We'll do what we can to put a stop to the perpetrators, ma'am." Akame said.
"Indeed. Also, perhaps the young man with the pompadour could learn some humility…"
"Ack!" Groose flinched.
"By the way, what are your names?"
One introduction later…
"A pleasure to meet you all. I look forward to when you bring these perpetrators to justice." She snapped her fingers as the door nearby opened up. "That will take you to Faron Woods. Have a safe journey for the road ahead."
Knowing our luck, it'll be anything but safe. Weiss thought as they walked together.
"Fi…" The old lady spoke up. "I hope that, despite the supposedly different circumstances, you will be able to allow the Hero to wield you."
"He will have to prove himself a different way, given how the Wing Ceremony was canceled." She said and flew off.
"Indeed…"
Fi flew out to reunite with the others.

BGM: Faron Woods (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"Let's see… do we have anything that could help us out in finding Zelda?" Chelsea wondered.
"There is dowsing."
"Dowsing?" Weiss wondered.
"With my help, I can help track Zelda's location." Fi turned to Wolf Link. "Think of it like when a dog picks up on a peculiar scent."
"Ooooh, okay." Weiss nodded.
Fi knelt down and poked Wolf Link on the nose. "Use your nose to locate Zelda for us."
"Arooo…?" Wofl Link's nose twitched. He immediately put his nose to the ground and started sniffing the ground.
"Ooooh, he's got a scent already!" Midna grinned as Wolf Link immediately followed the scent… and came across a few Bokoblins pestering a Goron.
"Oh my! That Goron needs help!" Lana exclaimed.
"...What the heck is a Goron?!" Groose wondered as Link sprang into action and slashed a Bokoblin in the back… only it turned around and glared at Link who swung his weapon at him. Link blocked with his sword as the other Bokoblins immediately surrounded him, only for Wolf Link to tackle one to the ground and mauled him, Mine shot one in the head, Maki slashed through one, Yor kicked one way deep into the Woods, and Leone punched one into a wall and Masaru used his Meteor Rod to throw a meteor down on the last one.
The Bokoblin that attacked Link noticed his friends were all gone as he was poked on the shoulder. He turned around… only for Ravio to slam his hammer into him to crush him.
"That will do." Ravio said, putting his hammer away.
"Phew… thank you!" The Goron said. "I've never seen you guys before but you definitely look odd… but not as odd when I saw three people wandering around earlier."
"Three people?" Lana asked.
"Yes. One was a blonde girl, one was rather plump and tiny and the third one looked… really creepy." He said. "Oh, by the way, since you saved me, we'll all pals! Name's Gorko, nice to meet you!"
"I thought… all Gorons knew how to fight." Weiss said.
"Well, we have impressive armor, yes, but I'm not much of a fighter. I'm an archeologist. Fighting isn't my strong suit!"
Okay, I guess it's just Daruk…
"Do you know how to wrestle?" Midna asked.
"...What's wrestling? Is that some sort of hug?" Gorko wondered.
Definitely a lover… Midna thought with a sweatdrop.
"Bah, never mind! Anywho, I'm just here exploring the land… like this bird statue!" He pointed toward it. "Rumor has it that you can use this statue where it can take you up beyond the clouds. I heard there's a land above the clouds that's filled with wonder!"
Wolf Link's nose twitched again, immediately going away to follow the scent. Everyone noticed this and walked after him.
"Can you imagine… water that can make one live forever if you drink it, a sea of clouds where strange birds fly around and even-" Gorko noticed everyone was gone. "What the… where'd you guys go?!"
Wolf Link kept following the scent, and the more he followed it, the stronger it got as he picked up the pace, forcing everyone to run after him as Wolf Link jumped over a gap and kept running, tearing through some bamboo as he saw two Bokoblins harassing a small creature… sooo Wolf Link mauled the both of them before they realized what happened.
Wolf Link sniffed the small creature right after, tilting his head. There was no way this could be Zelda… could it?
"Hey, what's the hold up?" Cia asked as they approached him.
"Koo-weep…?" The creature emerged from his camouflage, only to see Wolf Link staring at him. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" He screamed and ran away. "DON'T EAT ME, STRANGE MONSTER!"
"Oh, he won't eat you!" Midna said as she hopped on his back. "He'll just chew ya up and spit you out like a chew toy!"
Wolf Link let out an annoyed growl at her.
"Oh, don't be like that."
"Was that a…" Lana's eyes sparkled. "Oh my gosh, a Kikwi!"
"...Kiwi?" Cardin asked.
"No, a Kikwi."
"Is that how you say "kiwi" in Hyrule?"
"No! It's not a kiwi! Last I checked, these little guys aren't fruit."
"They're sure fuzzy though." Anya said as they went up the slope as Wolf Link followed the scent again, following the Kikwi as it tried to get away from him, hiding behind a tree after the first two mushrooms failed. It hoped the Deku Babas would slow them down, but unfortunately for it, the Deku Babas were fragile creatures.
"Ya know…" Weiss looked at what was left of one Deku Baba. "I have a feeling Viridi might use these."
"Why would she? Piranha Plants are better." Chelsea said.
"Fair enough."

BGM: Kikwi Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
Wolf Link gently nudged the Kikwi. "No! No! Don't eat me! All of you are several multicolored Bokoblins!"
"Bokoblin?! I've never been so insulted in my life!" Midna growled. "Link, do me a favor and-"
"Hold up!" Lana interrupted Midna as she knelt down in front of the Kikwi. "Hey little guy. Don't worry, we're not monsters."
"You… you aren't monsters?"
"No!" Lana said gently as the Kikwi looked up and saw everyone. "We're friendly!"
"B-but what about the… Wolfos?"
"He ain't a Wolfos, but I can make him act like one after what you called me." Midna glared, causing Wolf Link to turn his head and looked at Midna like "I'm not a monster!". "Hey, would you be insulted too if he called you a Bokoblin?"
"It could be worse. You could've been called a Moblin." Cia said.
"That's…!" Midna thought about it. "...Totally fair."
The Kikwi sprang up. "Nice to meet you friendly folk! I'm Machi!"
"Nice to meet you. Have you seen Zelda around?" Weiss asked.
"What's a Zelda? Is that some sort of vegetable?"
"No, she's a friend."
"Oh! A friend! …Well, come to think of it, I thought I saw a person being dragged away by two people, koo-weep. Not sure where they went… they were kinda scary, especially the man with the white hair and those white lips. Ooooh… freaky!"
"He's a clown. The only thing he scares are bunny slippers." Kokichi grinned.
"Bunny… slippers…?" The Kikwi titled his head.
"Wait a minute!" Groose spoke up. "Fi, you mean to tell me that you dowsed the mutt's nose and he followed a dang… gerbil thing!"
"Hmm, I supposed that she grazed this young Kikwi when she was being dragged away." Fi mused. "My apologies."
Wolf Link let out a growl, saying it was okay.
"Oh, by the way, you think you can tell the elder that I'm okay? He looks like me, but he's very very big!"
End BGM
"We'll see what we can do. Stay safe, little one." Lana patted him on the head as they walked off, wandering around Faron Woods and taking out the occasional Deku Baba or Bokoblin, until they came across a larger Kikwi.
"Oh, what's this big bump on a log doing here?" Kokichi asked.
"You can see me…? I was perfectly camouflaged!"
"Yeeeeah… camouflaged…" Laura said, noticing that he was the only brown creature amongst the green grass. "Riiiiight."
BGM: Bucha, Kikwi Elder (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
The big Kikwi stood up. "You must be heroes then! Wonderful Name's Bucha!"
"Have you seen Zelda around?" Link asked.
"Zelda… I don't know a Zelda, but could you help me find some fellow Kikwi? These monsters appeared out of nowhere and they're making Faron Woods dangerous. I'm honestly worried about them."
"How many are there?" Kirumi asked.
"Three of them!"
"We will go take a look." Fi said as she turned around. "Allow me to help you dowse for the three." She said, touching Weiss's sword, Wolf Link's nose and Link's sword. "This will help you look for the three of them."
"Alright, let's split up then." Weiss said and with a nod, they all split up.
"Good luck!" Bucha waved.

Resume Faron Woods BGM
With Weiss's group, she had Myrtenaster out as it was glowing a purple aura. "He should be around here somewhere…" She said as they came across a large tree with a few Bokoblin wandering around. The assassins quickly disposed of them easily.
"Oh, thank goodness that you took care of them!" A voice said as they looked up to see a Kikwi on a tree. "Hello!"
"What are you doing way up there?" Akame wondered.
"Oh… those monsters chased me up a tree so I was just waiting for them to go away." He said. "I'm Lopsa!"
"Can you get down?" Loid asked.
"That's the thing… I'm not too terribly fond of heights. Oh, but maybe if you can shake this vine down, I can climb down!"
"I got it!" Yor smiled as she walked over to the tree and gave it a good kick, which not only splintered the tree, but it caused it to shake violently and caused the Kikwi to fall.
"Mug-yuuuuu!" Lopsa cried as Yor dove and caught him.
"Got ya!" She smiled.
"Oh! Oh thank heavens!" Lopsa smiled, nuzzling against her as Weiss and everyone else (Minus the sisters, her family and Maki) looked on in shock over what they just witnessed.
"Holy moly…" Kotoko said. "Kokoron, your mother's a beast! She completely splintered that tree!"
"I've… seen worse, admittedly." Kokoro said.
"Oh? What was worse?"

Some time ago…
Yor, Chelsea and Kokoro walked on a crosswalk, when immediately, a sports car swerved around a corner and flew directly toward the family. Yor shifted her eyes and pushed her daughters to the side as she got in a stance and kicked the car hard enough to leave a massive dent on the door and sent it crashing into a fire hydrant.
"Whoa…" Chelsea and Kokoro jawdropped as Yor approached the driver, yanking out the door and glaring at him.
"Just what do you think you were doing? You could have hurt my children!"
"Uuungh…" The driver groaned.
Back in the present…

"She kicked a car and made it swerve into a fire hydrant?!" Kotoko exclaimed.
"It was a sports car too. It was totaled after that incident."
"...Okay, what was it then? A Mustang? A Jaguar?"
"Um… I think it was called a… Merrarro or something…"
"SHE MURDERED A FERRARI?!"
Kokoro snapped her fingers. "That's the name!"
"Remnant has Ferraris?" Masaru asked casually.
"Is that what happened? I thought it was an idiot drunk driver who T-Boned that thing." Kokichi said.
"Nope, apparently it was a guy taking it for a joy ride." Shuichi said.
"That sounds about right…" Maki said with a chuckle. "Still doesn't know her own strength."
"I'm amazed the tree's still standing though." Kurome said.
Crack!
Craaaaaaaaaaaack
CRASH!
Kurome sweatdropped. "Never mind…"
"Koo-wee… that was my favorite tree…"
Yor turned around nonchalantly. "Shall we?" She smiled as she walked off with a hum.
"Papa…" Anya said, staring at the tree.
"Yes?"
"...Marry her."
"Yeah… wait, what?!"
"Goodness me…" Nesta rubbed her head.
"Mom? You think she could stand a chance against aunt Esdeath?" Laura wondered.
"Um… I'm not sure, sweetie."
With Wolf Link's group…
"Did anyone hear a loud crash…?" Kirumi wondered.
"I heard it too." Ling said with Whitley nodding.
"Honestly, it was probably a boulder falling off a cliff." Midna said.
"It sounded more like a tree falling down." Laxus said
"Hope Laura wasn't caught in that…" Cardin said as they hopped down a hole and found themselves in a structure as they walked through and found themselves on a cliff. An Octorok sprung out of the ground and spat a seed at them, but Midna grabbed it and threw it back, knocking the Octorok unconscious.
"Nice try!" Midna smirked as Wolf Link got closer to a Kikwi and then nudged him.
"H-hey! Hey! That tickles, Koo-wee-hee-hee!" He laughed as he sprung up.
"Found him." Mercury said.
"Hey little guy~!" Lana waved.
"Hi! I'm Erla. And… I don't know how I got here." He admitted.
"Well, allow us to take you back." Hazel said, picking up the Kikwi and walked off with the Kikwi.
"Whooooa!"
Link's group…
"Should be up on that cliff." Link said.
"Heheheh… I'm getting it!" Groose climbed up some vines.
"It's not a race…" Ravio sweatdropped.
"Eh, let him think that." Link said as they climbed the vines until they reached a cliffside filled with grass and a cave filled with rocks.
"Ah, the Kikwi is probably trapped amongst these rocks!" Groose said. "Now… let's see if we can dig him out."
"You're gonna need a bomb." Cia said.
"You sure we can't just use our hands to pull the rocks out?" Ieyasu wondered.
"I think that'll take too long." Albedo said as Link doused the grass and found the Kikwi.
"Ah, there you are." He picked him up.
"Ack! How did you find me? I was so well hidden… I'm Oolo!"
"Let us take him back to Bucha. I trust the others found the other Kikwi." Fi said.
Back with Bucha…
"Oh, splendid! You found them all!" He said happily. "Now then, now that I'm getting a good look at you… there was someone who looked just like you." He said. "I believe she was dragged into the Deep Woods."
He pointed toward a structure. "If you go beyond that, you'll be able to find her."
"Thank you." Lana smiled.
"Oh, by the way, you're going to need this." He handed Link a slingshot. "It may help you along the way."
Link nodded. "Understood."
"Let us proceed." Fi said as they took off, all of them unaware of being spied upon by Wizzro.
"Lord Ghirahim, we have trouble." Wizzro said, handing Ghirahim some binoculars.
"Hmm? Oh, I had a feeling Lana and Cia would try to stop me… hmm, only the snow angel is there, eh?" Ghirahim mused. "Well, I suppose they won't be too much troub-" He paused, spotting Oran. "Oho… they brought that little ankle biter along, hmm?"
"Something on your mind?"
Ghirahim closed his eyes. "Now what was that boy's name again… I remember Dimentio bringing him along in Dark Ruby's domain…"
"Dimentio, what was the name of that Faunus you brought to Dark Ruby's world?"
"Oh, he was spouting nonsense of "Take the girl" or something like that. He was from Salem's faction, so I thought I'd bring him along for the fun of it."
"So he's part of Salem's group?"
"Yes. He fought the heroes before they could save Ruby from Dark Ruby's torment… alas, he was easily defeated. I'm chalking that up to either desperation or his mind wasn't fully there. That said, the armadillo boy wasn't exactly thrilled to see him there, for he was responsible for the destruction of his village."
"You didn't answer my first question."
"Oh, his name?" Dimentio smiled. "I believe his name is… Donovan."
Ghirahim opened his eyes. "Donovan, yes, of course! He would prove to be useful for us…" He smirked. "I will be right back, Wizzro. I need to do an errand real quick." He said as he closed his eyes, singing the melody of the Song of Time as he was whisked away back to the present.
