BGM: Knight Academy (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
Gaepora walked over to Zelda's room, tapping on the door. "Zelda, time to get up. It's the big day when you represent Hylia in today's Wing Ceremony."
There was no answer.
"Zelda?"
He smiled, chuckling to himself. "Who am I kidding? You probably woke up early just to get Link ready to go. Make us proud!"
He walked off.

Meanwhile…
BGM: Groose's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"Heheheh…" Groose shoved Link's Loftwing in a cave, proceeding to put up a barricade. "There, now Link won't even participate in the Wing Ceremony." He grinned, picturing the conversation in his mind.
"Oh Groose! You were so awesome in the Wing Ceremony!"
"I know!"
"Forget about stupid Link, let's run off somewhere and elope!"
"You got it, Zel."
"Groose? Groose! Yo, boss!"
"Wha?!" Groose snapped out of it, turning his head to see his henchmen approaching him. "Oi! Could it kill ya to give a man some privacy when he's daydreamin'!"
Stritch and Cawlin sweatdropped. "Again?" They both said.
"Never mind! What's the status on Link?"
"He's not in his room." Stritch said.
"Ah, Zelda woke him up then… or maybe he passed out at the milk bar." He smirked. "Either way, I'll receive Hylia's blessing!"
"Ah, that's the thing, boss. Zelda's nowhere to be seen either." Cawlin said. "We scoured the entirety of Skyloft but nothing."
Groose raised an eyebrow. "Did you check the Lumpy Pumpkin?"
"She's not there either."
"Interesting… so Zelda's missing." Groose mused before he smirked. "Ah! She's playing hard to get, that cheeky girl! We'll find her before the Wing Ceremony starts!"
"Wonder if she got kidnapped…" Stritch mused.
"Pffft! Zelda? Kidnapped? Good one! As if that'll ever happen!" Groose laughed. "Come on, let's get ready for the Wing Ceremony. If anything, I'm sure Link and Zelda'll turn up and we can all make fun of the doofus."
Both nodded. "Right."

Meanwhile, near the Knight Academy…
BGM: Skyloft (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
A portal opened up as Lana and everyone else walked out. "Ah, back to where it all began."
"Skyloft…" Weiss whispered, closing her eyes and flashing back to the times where she fought a fellow Smasher on the stage. "Never thought I'd actually be here outside of a Smash match."
"Well, at least we can admire the beauty of it." Akame said with Weiss nodding.
"Wow, back to where it all began!" Nesta's eyes sparkled. "Oh, if only Kiyo were here, he'd be ecstatic about this!"
"Oh? Never seen your faces around here before." A voice said as they turned to see Gaepora approaching them. "Where are you-" He spotted Lana. "Hmm? You look familiar."
"Hi, I'm Lana."
"Lana!" Gaepora said in surprise. "As in the one from the history books that you keep an eye on the timeline to make sure it all runs smoothly?"
"That'd be me. This is my sister, Cia."
"Hey." Cia greeted as Gaepora immediately bowed before them.
"Forgive me for not realizing it was you sooner, your grace… had I know the goddesses would come, I'd-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, we're no goddesses! We're just sorceresses! If anything, we're just the Guardians of Ti-"
"No no no… I like this one." Cia smirked. "I am your goddess… and I'm feeling kinda famished. I desire the best grapes that you grow here."
"Oh, absolutely! Right away!" Gaepora took off running, which immediately Lana smacked her upside the head.
"Really?" She deadpanned.
"Can't a girl have some fun~?" Cia smiled. "Besides, if you would just express yourself more…"
"What do you mean by expressing myse-" Lana blinked, staring at Cia's clothing that barely covered her chest compared to her own clothing that covered hers. "Nuh-uh! No way! I have standards and you know it!"
"Live a little!" Cia winked.
"I can already tell this sister's the fun one." Kokichi smirked.
"She's speaking my language~!" Leone grinned.
Lana pouted. "I can be fun too…"
Gaepora immediately came back with a bowl of grapes. "Here you are! The finest grapes that we have."
"Oh, excellent!" Cia smiled as she took the bowl and happily ate the grapes.
"So, what brings you and your friends here?"
"Something's amiss with the timeline, so we're trying to fix it up." Lana explained. "Have you seen Link around?"
"I'm afraid not. I've been searching for him and Zelda for a while, but I haven't seen the two."
"When was the last place you've seen him?" Shuichi asked.
"Before I went to bed, I saw him heading out with a fishing pole. He does tend to fish late at night for a snack or two."
He eats fish as a snack? If we weren't born in Remnant, I think Blake would be related to this particular Link… Weiss thought.
"Thank you. We'll go check his whereabouts." Shuichi walked off with the others following him, although Cia finished her snack.
"You got any strawberries?" Cia asked.
"C'mere you!" Lana grabbed her arm and yanked her away.
"Whoa!"
They walked over to the spot in question, where they saw no traces of Link… however, they saw his fishing pole dangling above the water.
"That's probably his fishing pole." Loid said.
"Do you think he got kidnapped?" Mine wondered.
"It's a possibility." Yuri nodded.
Pause BGM
"Hmm…" Shuichi walked forward a little, kneeling down on the ground and closed his eyes. "Reveal yourself to me." He said as time went to a slow crawl around them as a butterfly's wings slowly moved before it came to a complete stop. The area around them turned to a darker shade as well.
BGM: Slimy Spring Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy 2)
"Whoa! What the…?" Ling exclaimed. "What's all this?"
"That, my dear deer… is my bro's semblance!" Kokichi said.
Dear deer? That's a new one… Ling thought.
"What semblance is this, might I ask?" Kirumi asked.
"My semblance is called Recap. With it, I can reveal a crime that happened within forty eight hours. It activates when I say "Reveal yourself to me". I can search for clues and look for details in said crime."
"Oh wow…" Weiss said in awe.
"So cool!" Anya's eyes sparkled.
Yuri chuckled. "That's my son for ya."
Kirumi smiled. "That sounds like a good semblance."
"Indeed. However, if the crime is past forty eight hours, then everything gets distorted and I won't be able to find clues as easily. There's an unfortunate drawback…"
"I wondered if there was a catch." Kurome said.
"Indeed." He chuckled right after. "You should've seen my fellow Ultimate Detective's face when I revealed my semblance to her. I think it actually made her jealous."
"So what's yours?" Weiss asked Kokichi.
"My semblance is far more sinister… and it can easily give you nightmares for days! Mwahahahaha!"
Weiss sweatdropped. "Forget I asked…"
"Don't mind him, he's just bullshitting you."
"Don't mind my bro, he's just a stick in the mud." Kokichi grinned.
"Anywho, if I don't get a lead within the first forty eight hours, then things get harder for all of us. Hence why my semblance works best in that timeframe."
"What's this "I" stuff, bro? Aren't you forgetting your super helpful sidekick?"
"Your 'super helpful' traits are making grown ups cry and drinking their tears. Hush."
"I'm just saying, you ought to try drinking their tears one of these days! It's super tasty!"
Please tell me you're joking… Weiss thought.
"Your sons are… unique." Loid said.
"Yeah, what else is new with 'em?" Yuri chuckled.
And I thought Ruby and Yang were dynamic siblings… Whitley thought with a chuckle.
"Oh, almost forgot. My semblance works within a hundred foot radius. Anyone caught in it won't be affected but everything else slows time to a stop. It's honestly pretty effective for some peace and quiet."
"Peace, quiet, and me keepin' ya company!" Kokichi grinned.
"Right…" Shuichi turned his head, seeing Ghirahim grabbing Link with a cloth over his mouth, all the while Mercury clenched his fists in anger.
"Who's this clown?" Kokichi asked.
Weiss clenched her fists. "Ghirahim…"
"With a name like that, definitely sounds clowny too… all we need is a red balloon." Kokichi said.
"You know him?" Shuichi asked, ignoring Kokichi.
End BGM
BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"He's an Assist Trophy, but he tends to leave the Smash Mansion for long periods of time." Weiss said. "He's definitely up to something, especially with what happened about two months ago."
Shuichi pulled out his notepad. "Do tell."
"Well, we were doing a routine adventure of saving Princess Peach from Bowser, but at one point, Ghirahim got in the way and proceeded to taunt all of us, then he initiated a battle with Ruby while we were dealing with dinosaur Grimm. I'm not sure what he said to Ruby, but it probably had to do with Dark Ruby."
"Dark Ruby?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later."
"Okay."
"Anyway, he, along with this Dimentio guy caused all sorts of trouble to get in our way-"
"That's one way of putting it…" Mercury grumbled, causing Shuichi to side eye him before looking back at Weiss.
"And then, when Ruby got kidnapped, Ghirahim tried to throw a curveball at us to slow us down… and started to taunt Summer over Ruby's condition. That's the last I've seen of him, I think."
"He's a jerk." Oran said.
Weiss chuckled, ruffling Oran's head. "Yes, he is."
"Juuuust a quick question on your testimony. Does he have a kickable crotch?" Kokichi wondered, kneeling down and looking at between Ghirahim's legs.
"I sure hope he does…" Mercury growled.
"I would assume so." Weiss said.
"Well! I'd say it's a missed opportunity that you didn't pin the sword on the earthworm." Kokichi casually put his hands behind his head with a grin.
"Hmm?" Oran tilted his head as him and Anya pictured a sword stabbing an earthworm.
"Oh, that poor worm…" Anya said while the others grimaced at what Kokichi was implying.
"Yeeeeah, that poor worm…" Cardin grimaced with a nervous chuckle.
Shuichi looked over the scene. "Chloroform… typical use of a kidnapping." He mused as he caused the scene to fast forward a bit as they saw Wizzro holding Zelda hostage.
"WIZZRO?!" Lana and Cia yelled.
"Oooh, he looks like a charmer…" Kokichi said. "...And no crotches to kick, no fair!"
Wizzro started moving his mouth, but no one heard anything come out of his mouth, same with Ghirahim's.
"What are they saying?" Weiss wondered.
"Uh… shoot… anyone good with lip reading?" Yuri wondered.
"I can give it a shot." Maki said as she walked, looking at the two mouth's moving. "Mhm…"
"You got anything?" Leone asked.
"From what I can tell… this Wizzro guy is more than likely saying something about "Putting this girl in a tower" and this Ghirahim guy is mentioning "have a dragon guard her and i'll send this boy to a gingerbread jail"."
Mine sweatdropped. "What?"
"I could go for some gingerbread." Kotoko said.
"You sure that's what they're saying?" Masaru wondered.
"Let me give it a shot." Zapple said, looking at the two speaking once more. "Shortstack is saying he wants to give Zelda to Kirby and the clown is giving his approval."
"No no no no! This is how I'm interpreting it!" Cardin said. "The little guy is saying he wants to take Zelda to the worst mall in existence and Ghirastink is saying he wants to put Link in a zoo exhibit filled with skunks."
"Hmm… I think the little guy is saying he's going to turn Zelda into a milkshake and force Link to drink it." Yor said.
"Kinky, I like that~!" Kokichi grinned.
"Nonsense! Wizzro's clearly saying he's going to dump Zelda in an outhouse where she will demand toilet paper and Link is fresh out!" Cia said.
"This is getting us nowhere…" Lana groaned.
"Agreed, especially since these two teleport away. That just leaves us at a dead end." Shuichi said and then deactivated his semblance.
End BGM
"Okay, here's what we're gonna do." Shuichi said. "We split up and search every corner of this floating island. They couldn't have gone that far, although I have a feeling it could be worse."
"Right. Split up!" Lana said and with a nod, everyone took off.
"As for me… I'm gonna have to have a talk with… whoever that was." Shuichi said.
"Gaepora. He's the headmaster of the Knight Academy and Zelda's father." Lana said.
"Right. This is going to be quite the… experience." Shuichi mumbled as they walked back to the Knight Academy.
BGM: Malo Mart (The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
"Excuse us, mister!" Anya said as she, Loid, Yuri, Kokichi, Nesta, Masaru, Laura and Albedo approached a fortune telling booth. "Could you tell us where Mister Link and Miss Zelda could be at?"
"Oh, of course, my dear!" The fortune teller turned around with his big ol' eyes that made everyone take a step back in surprise while Anya's eyes were as big as dinner plates with a gasp.
Those eyes are staring into my soul!
"Um… on second thought, we'll ask someone else!" Yuri said as they hurried along.
"Aww. Oh well!"
With Sea5ons and RDL…
The group walked over to the goddess statue, where they walked around it. "You see 'em anywhere?" Whitley asked.
"Unfortunately, no." Russel said.
"Yeah, I'm drawing a blank here." Dove said.
"Hmm?" Kokoro's ears twitched. "...Strange, I thought I heard a meow just now, and it's not from Yukina."
"I don't hear anything…" Cardin said.
"Mmm, must've been my imagination."
With the Thunder Legion…
"Link? He probably went to the Lumpy Pumpkin."
"Where's that at?"
"See that island over there? Can't miss it. You have to get there by Loftwing though, otherwise-"
Laxus and Zapple converted everyone into electricity and flew off to the Lumpy Pumpkin.
"-You can… just… do that…" He sweatdropped.
The Thunder Legion landed on the ground and walked in. "Excuse us." Laxus said. "Have you seen Link around?"
"Link… Link… can't say I know the guy. Doesn't ring a bell."
"Hmm…" Laxus turned to his team. "Split up, we'll cover more ground that way."
"Probably won't take long, this island isn't very big." Mercury said.
"It's worth a try." Hazel said as they split up.
End BGM
With Mine…
"Hmm?" Mine looked up and saw a shop flying around. "I wonder… hey! Heeeeeey! Down here! I need to talk to you about something!" She said but no answer. "Mmmph…" She noticed the bell. I wonder…
She aimed her gun at the bell and fired, hearing a "ding!", which caused the shop to stop and made a rope lower itself. She immediately climbed aboard as it raised her to the platform.
"Ooooh, I definitely like this!" Mine smiled as she walked in.
BGM: Beedle's Airshop (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"Welcooooome!" Beedle greeted as he was pedaling on a bike that was keeping the shop afloat.
"Wow! I didn't know there was a shop in here." Mine said as she browsed around. "Excuse me for a moment, but do you know if Link is in here?"
"Link? I have no idea! I don't sell a Link in this shop!"
"Yeesh, dude, don't have to be snippy…"
"Ah, my apologies… it's just that I'm pretty busy keeping this shop in the air at all times, and unfortunately, I have to pedal faster because of the EXTRA WEIGHT IN HERE."
"Oh? Well, I'm pretty sure you can do without a few of these thi-... heeeeey, wait a second! Did you just call me fat?!"
"I didn't imply anything!"
"You implied that I'm fat!"
"I said nothing!"
"Seriously, I'm a twig! I'm only a hundred and ten pounds!"
"Only?"
A cross vein appeared on Mine's forehead. Must… resist… shooting this guy! She thought to herself. "Whatever! If Link's not in here, I'm out of here!"
"Wait a moment!"
"What is it?"
"HIIIIYEEEEEEEE! You had the audacity to come in here and not buy anything?! Good day to you, madam!" He pulled a rope with a grin on his face, as a trap door opened up underneath Mine.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
End BGM
THUD!
CRASH!
"Sis! Are you okay?!" Kotoko ran toward her as Mine had fallen on top of a now destroyed bench.
"RRRRRGH!" Mine sat up. "I'M GONNA KILL THAT SON OF A BITCH!"
With the assassins, AT, Ieyasu, Sayo, Blanche, Wave and Leone…
"You guys hear something?" Ieyasu asked as they walked into a cave.
"Mmm, it sounded like a little gremlin is angry." Sayo said.
AT and the Winter Ops looked at each other. "Mine."
"I guess she has a violent temper." Maki mumbled.
BGM: Cave (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"Hmm…" Yor looked around. "This cave is perfect for some kind of ambush…"
"Right. We have to be on our guards." Akame nodded as they had their weapons drawn out, where they were quickly ambushed… by Keese.
The Keese were quickly destroyed by Maki, putting her sword away. "They looked like they had rabies."
"Aww, that one looked kinda cute." Leone said.
"You seriously think that?" Wave raised an eyebrow as they walked through the cave, climbing up a slope and continued through.
"Is that all there is? Just bats?" Blanche wondered when suddenly, a Chu Chu landed on top of her, covering her face. "Mmmph!" She yelped in surprise as Yor, Ieyasu and Sayo pulled it off of her. "Gah!" She yelped as they killed the Chu Chu.
"You alright?" Ieyasu asked.
"So… that's what it's like to be inside jello…" Blanche shuddered as they walked out of the cave, where they heard a cry nearby. They turned to see a Crimson Loftwing trapped behind a barricade.
"That poor thing…" Leone said.
"I got it." Yor walked over and with a good kick, the barricade shattered and freed the Loftwing.
Whoa! Everyone but Akame, Kurome and Maki looked on in surprise.
"I see your strength never left you." Maki said, giving her a small smile.
"...Glad she's on our side." Tatsumi said as the Loftwing nuzzled against Yor in gratitude and then flew off.
"Majestic…" Yor whispered. "Such a beautiful creature shouldn't be locked up like that."
With Weiss, Kirumi and Oran…
"Excuse us!" Weiss approached Groose.
"Yeah? What do you want?"
"We're looking for Link. Have you seen him?"
"Nope! I could care less about him!"
"That's unfortunate, because it appears that Mister Link was kidnapped." Kirumi said.
"That's nice… KIDNAPPED?!" Groose yelled in surprise. "Who in the right mind would kidnap him?!"
"Unfortunately, we do not know." Kirumi said.
Groose looked to his henchmen. "Excuse us for a second!" He said, taking off near the lighthouse with his goons. "Okay, did you two boneheads kidnap Link?"
"No…"
"Not really…"
"Good, because kidnapping Link is something I'm against."
"Says the guy who birdnapped his Loftwing." Stritch pointed out.
"Up up up! Do I hate Link because he has the hots for Zelda like I do? Yes. do I want to mess with him? Also yes. Do I want to cheat in the Wing Ceremony and win Zelda's heart? Yes. But kidnapping someone? That's low, even for me!"
"He does realize he's not whispering, right?" Oran asked.
"I don't think he noticed." Kirumi said.
"We can hear you, ya know!" Weiss called out, causing Groose to freeze. "Ugh… dolt."
At that moment, they heard the sound of a Loftwing as they looked up to see the Crimson Loftwing flying down. "Huh?!" Groose said in surprise as the Loftwing came down and glared at Groose before pecking him in the head.
"Ow! Ow! Ow! OOOF! OW! YOW! Watch where you poke that thing! OW!"
"What's going on here?" A voice asked as Gaepora approached with Shuichi, Lana and Cia. "...Wait, is that Link's Loftwing?"
"Yeah, that checks out…" Lana said. "I have a pretty good feeling Groose birdnapped his Loftwing."
Gaepora sighed. "Why am I not surprised he'd do something like this? Groose, we're cancelling the Wing Ceremony until further notice."
"Ow! Ow! Why is- OW! That?"
"Because Link and Zelda has been kidnapped."
"Ooof! Yowch! That's good to kno- ZELDA'S BEEN KIDNAPPED TOO?!" He yelled, pushing away the Loftwing.
"This is Link's Loftwing, correct?" Shuichi asked.
"Yes. He rode on him just yesterday."
Shuichi nodded as he approached the Loftwing. "Sorry about this…" He said, pulling a feather off of the Loftwing. It let out a caw in surprise as Shuichi put the feather to the Loftwing's beak. "See if you can track Link's scent."
The Loftwing sniffed the feather and with a loud cry, the Loftwing flew off toward Link's location.
"We need to follow that Loftwing." Kirumi said as Weiss instinctively ran off toward the edge. "Weiss, wait a moment!"
Weiss dove off the edge without thinking about it, and then whistled as Azure came flying down and picked her up as Manaphy hopped down and landed on Azure's snout.
"Mana Mana!" Manaphy declared as the Rathalos nodded and flew after the Loftwing.
"...That is the ugliest Loftwing I've ever seen!" Groose said.
BGM: The Sky (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
The Crimson Loftwing flew through the sky as Weiss was right behind him. Manaphy noticed the giant stormcloud in the distance. "Mana…?"
"I honestly don't know, sweetie… I've always wondered what's beyond that." She said. "But for now, we need to follow this thing!"
"Mana!"
The Rathalos picked up the pace, flying close by the Loftwing as it veered to the left. Azure followed as they arrived at a small island where Link was held prisoner in a cell. "There he is!" Weiss said as they landed on the ground.
"Zzzzz…" Link snored away.
"...How can one sleep like this?" Weiss wondered, switching swords and quickly slashing through with her longsword to cut through it. "Rise and shine, big guy!"
End BGM
"Zzzzzz…"
Weiss shook him by the shoulders. "Hey… hey! Wake up! WAKE UP!"
"Mana Man…" Manaphy rubbed his head as the Loftwing poked him in the stomach, but he was still out cold.
"Zzzz…"
Azure let out a small growl as Weiss covered Manaphy's ears as Azure let out a loud roar.
"Zzzz… I wanna ride on the Loftwing… zzzzz…"
They all sweatdropped.
"Alright, you forced my hand." Weiss immediately conjured up some small ice cubes, sat him up and turned him around… and dropped the ice cube in the back of his shirt.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Link yelled, snapping awake as he got up and shook his body. "Ooof! Eeek! Ack! What the heck is this?!"
"If it works with Ruby, it can work with anyone." Weiss said proudly as Link shivered.
"Sheesh, what was that fo-... wait, what am I doing on this small island?"
"Never mind that, let's go back to Skyloft." Weiss said as his Crimson Loftwing picked Link up as they flew back off.
Back at Skyloft…
Azure and the Crimson Loftwing landed on the ground, Weiss hopping off as did Link. "Look who I found!" Weiss smiled.
"Link!" Groose immediately tackled him into a hug, squeezing him.
"Hnnngh!"
"He's alive! He's aliiiiiiive!"
"He's alive!" Stritch and Cawlin declared.
"He's ali-" Groose opened his eyes. "You idiot!" He dropped him. "You nearly gave me a heart attack, ya happy!"
"...What the heck did I do?"
"Let's bring you up to speed." Shuichi said as Lana's eyes widened, gasping.
"Oh no… oh no no no no! Oh, this is bad… oh, for the love of Lanayru! For the love of HYLIA!"
"What's got you all panicky?" Cia asked.
"The Wing Ceremony! I didn't even think of it before but… without the Wing Ceremony, Link doesn't get his sailcloth, and no sailcloth means he doesn't gain favor of the goddess and no favor of the goddess means Fi doesn't come to him and if Fi doesn't come to him, that means no Goddess Sword and no Goddess Sword means NO MASTER SWORD!"
Lana grabbed Cia by the shoulders. "WHAT THE HYLIA ARE WE GONNA DO?! THE TIMELINE'S DOOMED NOW!"
"Hey hey! Easy! It's an easy fix…" Cia said. "We can just grab another Link with the Master Sword for the time being until we can figure this mess out!"
"Oh! Oh yes, you're right! We can get another Link for the time being! I'll see if I can go into the Twilight era!" Lana opened up a portal and ran in.
"Hmm…" Cia looked over at the Hylia Statue. "...Ooooor…" She smirked and walked off.
Later into the night…
Link folded his arms, pacing around the town with everyone nearby. "Okay… I'm still trying to process everything. Not sure what a Ghirahim or a Wizzro is, but I think I got the general idea." He folded his arms with a grumble. "Of course, we have no leads on where my best friend is at."
"I thought you'd know!" Groose said.
"Unfortunately, I don't!"
"Now now, I'm sure we can have this settled in no time." Gaepora said. "While I'm worried for Zelda's safety, I can imagine this group will get her back safely."
"We'll do our best." Loid said.
At that moment, a portal opened up as Lana walked out. "Okay! I decided to have a friend accompany us! Step right in!"
At that moment, Midna walked out. "Yeeeah, we got a problem."
"Oooh, I'm sure it's not that bad." Lana smiled as Twilight Link walked through the portal…
Only problem is… he was back as Wolf Link.
"HUH?!" Lana yelled in surprise.
"Yeah, apparently something happened between portals that turned him back into a wolf." Midna said, immediately going into her imp form. "And apparently, I can turn between forms at will now, soooooo…" She sat on top of Wolf Link's back. "Just like old times~!"
Wolf Link turned his head, letting out an annoyed growl.
"Oh, you'll be fine!"
"Ya know, somehow Link being a wolf isn't the strangest thing out there…" Weiss said as Wolf Link was ambushed by Masaru, Kotoko, Oran, Laura, Albedo and Anya.
"He's so cute!" Laura smiled.
"And so fluffy too!" Anya grinned as Wolf Link sweatdropped at this.
"Well, you're definitely getting a lot of attention from girls now, lover boy!" Midna teased, hearing an annoyed growl from Link.
"His name's Link just like me?" Link wondered. "...How about that! That's a good name for the wolf!"
Groose rolled his eyes. "Of course, you'd be ecstatic over the name."
Anime tears ran down Lana's cheeks. "Oh come ooooon…"
"Yeesh… something went wrong on the arrival, I take it." Cia said as she approached.
"Ooooh… maybe I can check to see if Ravio's available…"
"Ravio? That guy's a wimp!"
"He's got items that can probably help us out… plus, he's actually not as wimpy as you'd think. And besides, I doubt the Hero of Winds will do us much good… and the Hero of Time's on life support, so he's out!"
"What about the Hero of the Wilds?"
"No… I don't want to disturb him…" Lana mumbled.
"Well, maybe this will cheer you up. I pulled some strings!"
"What do you mean?" Lana wondered as Cia side stepped out of the way to reveal Fi. "WHAT THE…?!"
BGM: Fi's Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
"Whoa… she's cute!" Groose said.
"Yeah, apparently you don't need a blessing from the goddess when you can just waltz right in as the Keeper of Time."
"...We could do that?!"
"Yup~!" Cia grinned.
"Greetings. Cia has filled me in." Fi greeted. "While it is disappointing that the chosen hero is not ready to receive Hylia's blessing and wield the Goddess Sword… I will be happy to assist you."
"And what can you do?" Cardin asked.
"Technically, I am the Goddess Sword, so I can, as you say, "kick butt"."
"I'll believe it when I see it."
"I advise that we all get some sleep for the road ahead. It will get treacherous if we do not have the needed sleep."
"All of you can stay at the Knight Academy. We have plenty of rooms available." Gaepora said.
"Alright. Let's get some sleep. We'll need it." Shuichi said.
With a nod, everyone went into the Knight Academy while Link looked directly at Fi, the latter looking at him.
"It is unfortunate that fate has not let us intertwine the way the timeline has intended." Fi said. "But I am ninety eight percent certain that you will wield me when the time is right."
"I'll… keep that in mind." Link nodded as he walked into the academy.
"Boss!" Stritch pulled Groose to the side.
"Yes? What is it?" Groose asked.
"We'll stay here… but perhaps you ought to go with them. Maybe you could be the first to rescue Zelda instead of Link."
Groose's eyes widened. "Me? Save Zelda instead of that wimp?! Ohohohoho…" Groose rubbed his hands together. "Now you're speaking my language! I'll swoop Zelda in my arms and watch that wimp be devastated that I snagged her first! I love it!"
Meanwhile…
"Oho? You need my assistance?"
"Yes." Lana nodded. "The timeline is about to change drastically… I mean, it already has considering there's a fourth timeline to juggle now, but aside from that… you think you could help-" She noticed him taking everything off the shelf and put it in a bag. "-Out…?"
"Shall we get going then? There's a timeline we have to protect!"
Lana smiled. "Right. Thanks Ravio." Hmm… I wonder if I should get Sapphire and Yin involved? …Eh, maybe I can have them on stand by.
Down at Faron Woods…
"You smell that? I smell the scent of victory!" Ghirahim said.
"Indeed. What shall we do with Zelda?"
"First, I say with-"
"Well! This is a surprise." A voice said as they turned to see another Ghirahim approaching him. "I was wondering who took Zelda away from me."
"Ah, me from the past." Ghirahim said as he approached his past self.
"You must be me from another universe."
"Yeah, let's go with that."
"How did you get here?"
Ghirahim pulled out the Ocarina of Time. "With this!"
"Interesting." Past Ghirahim mused. "Perhaps with the two of us here, we can combine our forces."
Present Ghirahim smirked. "I was thinking the same thing." He said, proceeding to play the Ocarina, playing an unknown melody that caused both to glow as Past Ghirahim went inside of him.
"Mmmm!" Ghirahim smirked. "Yes! I feel twice as powerful!"
"What song was that, master Ghirahim?"
"Are you familiar with the Song of Two Souls, Wizzro?"
"No."
"I thought not. It only works when there are two versions of yourself at the same place. However, this song was lost to time and no one remembers it… and yet, I came across it in the past. Thought it was a ridiculous song… but here we are now."
"Fascinating!"
"And now, for the other song." Ghirahim smirked, playing another unknown melody where the Ocarina was slowly absorbed into his body.
"What was that one?"
"The Song of Unity. With that song, you can absorb any instrument into your body, like this Ocarina of Time. And… because of this, you can enhance yourself or someone else just by humming any melody you could think of."
"Interesting."
"Now say for example you decide to enhance someone's capabilities with, say… Bolero of Fire. I can just hear the sound of someone gaining pyrokinesis!"
Wizzro smirked. "Sounds intriguing!"
Ghirahim let out a chuckle. "Or better yet, play the Song of Time and you can rewind time for a few seconds, using that knowledge in battle where you can trip anyone up! Or using the Song of Healing to bring yourself back to full health!"
"Master Ghirahim, this is brilliant."
Ghirahim smirked devilishly, chuckling evilly. "You see, Dimentio? THIS is how you PLAY TO WIN."
Ibuki: Oh boy!
Deadpool: Ah yes, just what we need in Skyward Sword. VILLAINS USING CHEAT CODES!
Major shout out to Yoshi on this one for suggesting months back that we bring Twilight Link (In wolf form, no less) and Ravio in Skyward Sword! Aaaand Ghirahim actually using the Ocarina of Time to his advantage and fuse Ghirahim and Past Ghirahim together! This is gonna be great!
