BGM: Skyloft (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

Everyone landed on the ground. "Okay, easy does it…" Chelsea said, gently taking Cardin into the academy while Yor carried Kokoro and Ieyasu and Blanche guided Sayo right behind them.

"Phew…" Twilight Link rolled his shoulder. "I'm tellin' ya… I forgot how stiff I get when I'm a wolf."

"I guess being a wolf has its downsides." Weiss chuckled.

"Eh, you get used to it." He said as they wandered into the academy.

BGM: Knight Academy (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

"Phew…" Cardin said as he sat down on a bed. "Never thought I'd be so… out of it."

"Just take it easy, sweetie…" Chelsea whispered, kissing him on the cheek before she went over to check on Kokoro. "You feeling okay?"

"Mmm… not really…"

"I suggest some of us stay here to keep an eye on these three. It may take a while for them to fully recover from… possible gloom or whatever." Mira said.

"Good idea. I was going to suggest the same thing." Weiss said as they walked out, leaving behind RDL, Nesta, Laura, Yor, ATMC, Kurome, Ling, Whitley and Mavis behind… only for Yor to realize Yuri was leaving.

"Oh no, you don't!" She said, yanking her brother away.

"Wah!" He yelped as Loid, Oran and Anya looked at each other, and with a nod, they decided to stay behind as well.

"Hmm…" Mavis rubbed her chin as an idea came to her. "I bet my semblance can be of good use here." She said, her hands glowing as Ling took notice.

"Hey Mavis… you think we could combine our semblances?"

Mavis looked at her before smiling. "I suppose we can try that!"

"Sis, with all due respect, why did you drag me back?"

"I had a feeling I needed to get you back to your senses given how you have this look that you want to kill Maki."

Yuri growled. "She was the reason why you disappeared for five years and you're just going to forgive that?"

"She's been regretting that ever since that day, and when I met her, I knew that she needed a friend… it wasn't just a lonely five years for me, you, or the sisters. I knew it was a lonely one for Maki. I found a daughter and Akame and Kurome found friends. Maki? She was all by herself."

Yuri sighed. "Yor, I know you have a big heart, but I can't… look the other way like you can. You don't know how difficult it was for me for five years, thinking you were dead."

Yor hugged him. "I was never dead… I just didn't want that scorpion to trace my whereabouts. I should've written your phone number on my hand so I could've at least checked up on you. You know how terrible I am with remembering phone numbers."

"I understand that, but Maki is-"

"I understand that you're angry, but killing Maki won't bring back those five years that I disappeared, not to mention you'd be as bad as that Scorpion."

"Not as bad as that Scorp-"..." Yuri looked at her with accusation. "What about you? You assassinated folks, didn't you?"

"That's completely different."

"Even so, what's the difference between you assassinating someone and Maki assassinating? You did it to those who "deserve it", and Maki is a contract assassin. What was she hired to do? Oh yeah, burning Night Raid to the ground."

"You don't even notice that she regrets taking that job. You didn't even notice the anguish in her voice… I'm honestly amazed that you decided to side with Ghirahim at that moment."

"What? No, I didn't side with that freakshow!"

"You seemed hell bent on wanting to shoot down Maki. He wanted to cause discourse and… well, he definitely succeeded if he got one of us to turn on her."

Yuri's eyes widened, looking at his hands. "Oh… I…"

He growled in frustration.

"I'm nothing like Ghirahim… I'm not forgiving her for what she did to you…"

"Here." Loid spoke up as Yuri turned to see him pulling up a few chairs and a bottle of wine he found in the kitchen. "Pull up a seat. I'll tell ya a few spy stories to cheer you up. And hey, you can tell me a few stories of your own on the force."

Yuri stared at Loid with surprise before giving a soft smile. "Okay."

Oran glanced over at Anya. Distract him so he won't try to kill Maki?

Anya grinned. "Yeah!"

"Glad you read my mind!" Oran said, both of them high fiving.

Meanwhile, with Headmaster Gaepora…

"Come in!" Gaepora said as there was a knock on his door as the rest of the party walked in. "Ah, Link. So good to see you and… uh…" He stared at Twilight Link. "...Link…?"

"Hey."

Gaepora blinked, looked at his mug while scratching his head before dumping it in a flower pot. "Think that's enough tea for today…"

Midna snickered. "Sure, it's the tea."

"So, how's my daughter holding up? Is she okay?" He asked as everyone stiffened, unsure of what to say to him. "...Ah. I understand. She wanted it to be a secret to everybody? Seems unlike her, but I'm sure she has her reasons. But I'm sure there's something else on your mind."

"What do you know about the Trials of the Triforce?" Link asked.

"...The Trifor-... where did you hear of that word?"

"It seemed Zelda might have known about it."

"Hmm… I bet Zelda must have stumbled across it in a few books she may have read." Gaepora mused. "Unfortunately, the actual location of the Triforce isn't illuminated and it's whereabouts are lost to time. That said, I haven't heard of anything about the Trials of the Triforce… apologies."

"No no, it's okay. We'll… find something else about it, I guess." Link said as they turned around.

"Oh! Wait a moment, I just remembered something." Gaepora said. "Have you heard of the great sky spirit, Levias?"

"Levi-who?" Weiss wondered.

"He is a great sky spirit that protects our skies. His knowledge is limitless. If you have any questions on your mind that none of us could answer, Levias is your best bet. Unfortunately, he hasn't been seen for quite some time. I imagine it has to do with that thunderhead that suddenly appeared one day. Levias disappearing and that thunderhead showing up might have something to do with each other. I asked Owlan to see if he could find anything pertaining to that thunderhead. In fact, I was going to inquire how it was going along until this whole thing with my daughter getting kidnapped happened, it completely slipped my mind."

"Happens to the best of us." Shuichi said.

"Indeed."

"We'll go see what he knows." Kirumi said as they walked out.

"...Good heavens, I think I need to lay off the tea. There were two Links." Gaepora mumbled while scratching his head.

Outside, Link knocked on Owlan's door. "Come in!" He said as they walked in. "Ah, Link. Good to see you. How's the search for-" He spotted Twilight Link. "...Zelda… going…?" He immediately side eyed the glass of water on his desk. What did they put in the water this morning? He wondered.

"It's… going well." Link lied. "Anyway, what do you know of Levias?"

"Ah, Levias… the great sky spirit. I was looking into what was going on in the Thunderhead and seeing if he was okay, but… he's different now. He charged right at me like I was nothing more than a pest. That said, I did notice something peculiar about him."

"That being?"

"As he charged me, I evaded him. I also noticed some tentacles hanging off from his back. Something tells me he unwittingly picked up a parasite and it has possessed him, which would explain why he's acting like a monster."

That probably sounds like Ghirahim. Lana thought.

"We can try to fix him." Link said.

"Hmm, you could but you would probably need-" An idea came to Owlan. "I have an idea. Come with me, Link."

"Which one?" Midna playfully smirked, causing Owlan to grimace.

"Um… the… first one…?"

"I was hoping you'd say that." Link laughed as he walked off with Owlan.

"...You've having way too much fun with that, aren't you?" Twilight asked with a knowing smirk.

"Who, me?" Midna playfully smiled and walked off while Twilight simply shook his head with a chuckle.

A few minutes later…

"Okay, so, I believe you are ready to tackle this technique. It is called the Spiral Charge. It's an advanced technique that only few have mastered."

"Why? Is it because it's really dangerous?"

"No, more like they get really dizzy and nearly fall off their Loftwing." He said, causing Link to sweatdrop.

"Um… no pressure?" Zelda said, patting Link on the back.

"You got this, bud!" Groose smiled.

"Riiiight…" Link nodded. "Alright, let's give it a shot."

"Right. It's basically a corkscrew attack. Don't feel too bad if you don't get it right the first few times. It's not for the faint of heart."

With another nod, Link dove off the platform and whistled for his Loftwing, where they flew up in the air together while Weiss shifted her head to see Maki all by herself. "Maki?"

End BGM

"Hmm? …Oh, hey Weiss…"

"What are you doing all back here by yourself?"

"Ya know… just… distancing myself."

"Why?"

"You already know why…" Maki awkwardly rubbed her arm. "I'm an assassin for hire, and I went and killed innocents in a grand massacre."

"Waaaah! Heads up!" Link exclaimed as he accidentally corkscrew dive bombed on the two, luckily they ducked as Link pulled his Crimson Loftwing away. "Sorry!"

"Look, I know you're upset that you were outed… but… we're not upset. …Okay, most of us aren't."

"I don't understand… why are you so chill with me? I'm the one who helped burn Night Raid to the ground."

"We shouldn't let our past define who we are. What we should do is learn from it. Yes, what you did was awful, but… I can tell you've regretted it ever since."

"Yeah…" Maki looked away. "I can't believe a Schnee, of all people, is being nice to someone like me. I've heard how snobbish Atlesians tend to me."

"Believe me, joining team RWBY made me grow out of that." Weiss said. "But aside from that… I'm not mad at you. I'm only mad at Ghirahim for what he tried to do. Heck, I was livid when he kidnapped Anya just to prove a point."

"I'm just… floored that everyone, except for Yuri, fought by my side… why…? I don't understand it…"

"Because there's good in you. You know you can do the right thing." Weiss said gently, putting her hands on her shoulders that made Maki flinch. "Yes, you took down Night Raid, but that doesn't mean you're a bad person… if Yor can defend you from her brother, then honestly… you're alright with me."

Maki teared up. "W-Weiss…" She closed her eyes, a few tears escaping. "You really are a wonderful person, aren't you?"

Weiss smiled and then hugged her as Maki froze a bit before returning the hug.

"Aww, look at you, you actually made a friend!" Kokichi said casually. "Apparently sourpusses can get friends, who knew!"

"Bro… not now…" Shuichi shook his head.

"...One of these days, I'm gonna actually kill him." Maki mumbled.

"I don't blame you." Weiss chuckled.

"By the way, speaking of Schnees, I received an anonymous tip from in the mail to assassinate Jacques Schnee. Would you have been okay with that?"

"You kidding? I wouldn't have minded one bit."

"Good. Because I was actually on site when it went down."

Earlier…

Maki climbed up a ladder and then got up on the roof, she pulled out her sniper rifle and got into position. "Alright, there you are. Judging by the glass, it's bullet proof, so I'm going to have to wait until you get some fresh ai-"

BOOOOOOM!

"Waaah!" Maki yelped, the resulting explosion made her fall on her butt. "What in the hell…?" She wondered as she got her bearings straight to see smoke rising. She also looked up to see Bill Blasters on a roof adjacent to her.

"Mmmph…" Maki looked through the scope, seeing Jacques was gone. "Where are you…" She wondered, frantically searching for him as she immediately saw him fleeing onto the roof.

"There you are." She said, putting her finger on the trigger… right as a helicopter came into view. Oh come on! She thought as she ran across the rooftop, leaping across the gap and landing on the other side to get a better angle.

Once she looked through the scope, she saw Seryu aiming her gun at him. "Wait, is that that Seryu girl?" She wondered, then witnessing Seryu shooting him down until he fell onto the fence. "Oooh." She winced. "Damn… there goes my kill…"

Back in the present…

"So you were there…" Weiss said.

"Yeah… before I was hired to kill Jacques, I received another tip that I need to assassinate Seryu. I refused it… because something just didn't feel right with killing her. I've heard about the Atlas Massacre and how Seryu was quickly pinned to be a maniacally insane Faunus on the news… but something didn't sit well with me. Then, next thing I know, the mental hospital burns down and Seryu's nowhere to be found."

Weiss's face hardened a bit. "And you quickly put the pieces together that something may have been off about Seryu's… quote on quote "diagnosis"?"

"It didn't take long for me to figure out that Jacques hired me to take her out. Basically, I sent him an email telling him to "Shut up or I will shove this katana up your ass and it'll come out of your skull". He didn't email me ever again."

Weiss snickered. "Atta girl."

A few minutes of Link trying to master the Spiral Charge later…

"Okay, I think I got it!" Link said as he used the Spiral Charge again, flawlessly executing it.

"Well done!" Owlan praised as Link and his Loftwing relaxed. "Most people give up after ten or so failed attempts, but you managed to keep it at for thirty!"

"Aheheheh… got used to it." Link said. "...Now uh… how do I stop Skyloft from spinning?" He asked as he and his Crimson Loftwing fell on the ground with spiral eyes.

"Yeah, that's about the reaction after some mastered it." Owlan said as Groose pulled out a fan and started fanning the Loftwing while Zelda and Ganondorf helped Link up and got him steady.

"How many fingers?" Zelda asked.

"Uuuh… fifty?"

"Try again." Ganondorf said as Link shook his head, focusing after he got his head straightened out.

"Two."

"There we go~!" Zelda smiled while Terrako chirped.

A portal opened up as Lana and Cia walked out, the latter pushing in a large batch of Pumpkin Soup. "Soooo uh, we kinda got ahead of ourselves." Lana chuckled. "Figured we'd get it done while Link was trying to master the Spiral Charge."

"Hah… hah…" Cia panted. "I know he's a large whale but couldn't he go for something WAY lighter? And smaller?! Haaaaaaah…" She collapsed, immediately pulling out a green potion and downed it to regain her energy.

"Ah yes, that's Levias's favorite food." Owlan said.

Fi came out of the Master Sword. "I will call for the robot." She said as Scrapper immediately came flying over.

"Oooh, another heavy object… but looks lighter than the basin!" He immediately picked it up, "Yes, yes it is!"

"Ya know… I'm curious about something." Midna said. "We have two Master Swords present with us. So does that mean we have two Fis?"

"Now that you mention it, she stopped communicating with me ever since I came out of the Wolf form. I wonder if she's okay…" Twilight said.

"I can confirm that I can sense a Twilight version of me is present in the sword. She is only sleeping." Fi said and went back into the sword, where the Master Sword stopped glowing, and then Twilight's Master Sword started glowing as his version of Fi came out.

"Master. I see you are doing well after turning into a wolf again. I am sensing that you are in need of a full body massage. Might I suggest using the Smash Mansion's hot tub?" She turned to Sky Link. "I can sense the presence of another me, but she is slumbering."

"Oh! I just remembered something." Lana said. "I recall seeing this in a book, but it said that Hylia has a failsafe that should there ever be a moment where multiple Master Swords appear at once, one Fi shall be active at all times while the rest slumber in their respective swords, otherwise it will be nothing but chaos if all Fis were active at once."

"...I'm sorry, what?" Weiss tilted her head.

"That's… I'm not sure how I feel about that, but alright." Midna nodded as Fi went back into Twilight's Master Sword.

"Weird." He shrugged.

"Sooo, where are we taking this?" Scrapper asked. "...Also, has Master Shortpants doubled?"

"I guess you can say that." Link nodded.

"I'll call the double "Master Wolf", because he looks really hairy and is need of a haircut. Let's go!" Scrapper took off.

"Eh?" Twilight fixed his hair. "...Is my hair getting longer?"

"Nah, you're still the same short haired doofus to me." Midna teased, earning a playful elbow from Twilight as they headed off to the Thunderhead.

Once there…

"If I recall correctly, we have to put it down on that Rainbow island!" Lana said as they landed, where Scrapper put the Pumpkin Soup down.

"I dunno why, but I feel like something huge is coming and will mistake me for a morsel! I'm outta here!" Scrapper took off running.

"Now all we gotta do is wait." Weiss said as they heard the sound of a roar.

"We won't have to be waiting long." Ganondorf said as a massive sky whale came flying out of the sea of clouds, where they would see parasitic tentacles by his tail.

BGM: Levias Battle Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

"There they are!" Kirumi said.

"Let's go!" Weiss said, hopping on her Rathalos as they flew after it.

Great Spirit of the Skies - Levias

The gang flew after Levias as the Sky Spirit brushed them aside with tornadoes that he shot out. "Split up!" Lana called out as they did so, dodging the tornadoes as one of the parasitic eyes fired a laser at Zelda's Loftwing. She quickly flew out of the way as Terrako let out an angry boop, locking on to the parasite in question and fired a laser, striking the eye and causing it to disappear.

"That's one down!" Cia exclaimed as Levias corkscrewed, trying to smack anyone behind him with his tail.

"Whoa!" Groose backed off.

"Alright, take control, I got an idea!" Twilight said as Midna took over as he stood up, pulling out his bow and aimed carefully, firing directly at a parasite, but just missed it. However, Link came flying over and used the Spiral Charge to destroy the parasite.

"I got ya!" Link said with Twilight nodding, then he had an idea.

"Midna, get me closer."

"Closer? Are you nuts?"

"Only if this doesn't work!"

Midna chuckled. "That sounds about right." She said, moving the Shadow Kargorok closer while Weiss got into position, only for her Rathalos to move out of the way out of a giant cloud whirlpool that was shot out by Levias.

"Phew, thanks!" Weiss said, summoning the Bow of Light as she fired an arrow, striking a parasite as it fired a laser at Impa's ride, but she pulled away, then she flew and proceeded to slash it, but Levias corkscrewed to prevent Impa from attacking head on, forcing her to back away as Levias did a complete turn.

Midna got close. "Alright, whatever you're doing, go for it!"

Link pulled out his Double Clawshot and proceeded to launch himself onto the flat area on top of Levias and moved straight for the hole while Maki got into position and proceeded to fly ahead, cutting through the last Parasite eye to destroy it.

End BGM

In turn, it caused the last parasite to come out of its hole, confronting Twilight. Midna immediately joined him a second later. "Can't have all the fun!" She winked as both of them got in their battle stances, while the parasite screeched at them.

BGM: Bilocyte (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

Ocular Parasite - Bilocyte

Bilocyte hissed as it shot out a parasitic leech out at Midna. "Gross!" She said as she teleported out of the way as its eye turned blue as it spat out icicles. Twilight immediately blocked with his shield, pulling out his Gale Boomerang and throwing it.

Bilocyte avoided it as it spat out a green ball of energy at Link, but the Gale Boomerang came back and deflected it, smacking it right in the eye. It hissed as it reached forward and slammed its face down, creating a shockwave.

However, it also stunned the Bilocyte as Midna snapped her fingers, the Mirror of Twilight appearing in her hand as she proceeded to call upon a Twilight Hand and then used it to bitch slap Bilocyte.

The parasite hissed once more, its eye turning red as it breathed fire. Link immediately backflipped while Midna floated up, then she retaliated by firing magic straight into the eye.

The eye turned yellow as it spat out electricity. Link blocked with his Hylian Shield and then proceeded to pull out his Ball and Chain, swung it around and then threw it, only for the parasite to weave his head. It hissed, smirking at Twilight smugly…

…Until Link pulled it back and smacked it from behind, knocking it unconscious instantly.

"Hmm, what do you think, stomp on it until it suffocates or blow it the hell up?" Midna asked casually.

"Hmm, why not both?"

Midna cracked her knuckles. "Alright, one stomping while blowing it to pieces, coming right up~!"

Twilight backed away while Midna walked forward, raising her leg up high and then heel kicked it in the back of the head, then magically shoved the parasite on the back of its head, then summoned a cannon to where it was shoved against its mouth.

"Eat up."

The twilight cannon lit up and exploded, obliterating the Bilocyte.

End BGM

Both of them smiled, sharing a fist bump… and then suddenly, Levias fell into the sky sea below.

"Oh crap… Twilight! Midna! Can you guys hear us?" Weiss called out to them… when suddenly, Levias came flying out with Midna and Twilight on them, both of them not even phased in the slightest. In fact, it stopped raining as the thunderhead calmed.

BGM: Dragon Theme (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

"Mmm, I feel way better. Was it you that destroyed the parasite? I feel like myself again!"

"Yeah, it was us." Midna nodded.

"Splendid! And I see you have made me some delectable pumpkin soup for me. As you may know, I am Levias, the great Sky Spirit. What can I do for all of you?"

Link flew over. "Have you heard anything about the Trials of the Triforce?"

"The Trials of the Triforce… ah, I see that Hylia's failsafe is coming into play, it seems. I sense the Triforce resonating off of the man on top of me, the man on that ice bird and the young lady on that small dragon."

"Hiiiii Levias!" Lana waved.

"Lana? The time keepers are here? That could mean that someone is messing with our time. That explains a few things…" He mused. "Well, like the Triforce, the Trials of the Triforce needs to be opened with a song. Said song requires four parts from dragons. I hold one of those parts. The others are Faron, Eldin and Lanayru.

"Once we find all three, we'll come back to you." Weiss deduced.

"Precisely. Then… you will proceed to go to the Trials of the Triforce. However, only the Chosen Hero and the wielders of the Triforce may enter. Previous wielders may so choose to enter if they wish, since I can sense power radiating from Lana and that Princess."

"You know I am a princess?" Zelda asked.

"You look the part." Levias chuckled. "Now go… and return here with the songs in question."

"Let's go." Link said as Twilight and Midna hopped on their ride and flew off back to Skyloft.

A few minutes later…

BGM: Skyloft

"Okay, so how do we go about this?" Twilight wondered as he was with Ganondorf, Weiss, Zelda and Lana.

"We could go to our respective areas." Zelda suggested. "Courage will go to Faron Woods, Wisdom will traverse through Lanayru Desert-"

"Meanwhile, I take Death Mountain." Ganondorf smirked. "Sounds like a plan to me."

"True, but we technically got two Wisdoms and two Powers. Perhaps we split them up to, just to even it out." Twilight pointed out.

"I'll go to Faron." Lana said. "Hopefully, Faron didn't do something stupid like flooding the woods."

"You do realize dragons do as they please. And if I'm not mistaken, your sister unwittingly gave her the idea to flood the woods." Ganondorf pointed out.

"Mmmph… I'm just hoping this will be different." Lana hoped.

"I suppose I could do another excursion to Death Mountain…" Zelda mused.

Weiss turned over to Sky Link. "What say you?"

Link nodded. "That sounds good to me."

"Alright!" Weiss nodded.

"I suggest we rest for the night… and we break at dawn." Ganondorf said. "Those who sleep in will have to play catch up."

Twilight sweatdropped. "Ever the optimistic one, huh?"

"Well, it's a good idea. Hopefully." Weiss nodded.

Meanwhile, with Kotoko…

"How do you feel?" Laxus asked after Kotoko removed her sprain.

"I feel a lot better!" Kotoko said, throwing a few punches. "Yeah, I'm ready to go!"

Hazel chuckled. "I suggest we try this again in the morning, give your arm some extra rest."

Kotoko nodded. "Right."

Later, at midnight… at the Sealed Grounds…

"Is it ready?" Ghirahim asked.

"Just about." Wizzro said, after having out the finishing touches on the seal, and then snapped his fingers.

Immediately, Crimson light shot toward the sky as Ghirahim smirked.

"Why didn't I think of this before? They're tucked in bed asleep while Demise awakens from his prison. They're ill prepared!"

Meanwhile…

Mira sat down on the roof next to Mavis. "So, how did it go?"

"Oh, pretty well. They should be up and at 'em in the morning."

Mira smiled. "That's great!"

Immediately, small wisps of crimson started to swirl around. "Huh?" Mavis wondered as the two looked around.

Mira looked up at the sky, gasping. "What in the…?!"

BGM: Final Hours (The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask)

They would see the moon turning blood red as the sky turned crimson.

"What's going on?!" Mavis wondered as Mira immediately noticed a crimson laser piercing through the clouds.

"Oh my gosh, that's coming from Faron Woods!"

Immediately, Laxus burst out of the doors. "What the hell is going on? The Faunus won't stop crying in agony!" He said as he saw what was going on. "What the hell?!"

Everyone gathered out the door, where they saw The Imprisoned rising out of the cloud sea.

"I SEE YOU."

Cia paled. "Oh no…"

Lana grimaced, clenching her fists as a cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

"Ghirahim… what did you do…"

Deadpool: ...Oh shit...

Ibuki: Oooooh crap...

He's out and ready to play!

Deadpool: Right, I'm gonna go hit the panic alarm... BE RIGHT BACK!
