Live Your Own Story in Hyrule

Within a few seconds, some of the shadow beasts appear over the hull of the craft. They pry open the top and attempt to reach Mipha.

Irina lands on the island with Revali, concern washing over her face after seeing the rough landing, and runs towards the vessel.

She realizes that the beasts are trying to open it, and her first instinct is to jump on top of it to prevent it from opening. She knows her friends are inside but does not know if the landing hurt them.

Her hand moves fast to pull the wand of Marbris out and immediately attempts to shock the closest beast to her friends, as a warning to stay away from the Zora vehicle.

Irina does enough harm to keep it away—It is only then that she sees Link unconscious and widens her eyes, hoping the princess can help him.

She just stands on the vessel with the buzzing wand in her hand, trying to cover her friends.

The beast that was zapped disintegrates into a thick black cloud.

Some continue towards Mipha while others charge towards Irina.

Revali takes his sword and tosses it in the air over the approaching beasts. He calls to Irina, "Use the wand on it!!" Another risky move to add to the pile of things, but it was with trying. They'd clear out a lot more of these things if the electricity could spread out a bit.

It is a risky move, but Irina does not question it this time. As soon as the sword is tossed into the air, Irina extends her arm and the wand towards it, releasing a powerful stream of electricity.

The sword absorbs the electric energy like a lightning rod then disperses it down, looking for a ground. It zaps several of the beasts, completely frying some and damaging the others.

Mipha and the sleeping Link seem unphased since they were insulated inside the craft.

The sword falls to the ground, smoldering and blackened by the intense heat it was just exposed to.

Three scraggly beasts remain, inching towards the vehicle with smoke rising from their burned bodies.

Irina jumps between the vehicle and the remaining beasts, holding the buzzing rod in front of her as a warning.

The beast closest to Irina simply collapses and dies upon seeing her, perhaps from the lingering smolder on its skin.

Irina widens her eyes, confused at the beast collapsing in front of her.

_With Gatu bring brought up via Red-Vali, Gatu quickly gives Link and Mipha cover by using a mix of water and ice magic to make a wall of ice between the Shadow Twili Monsters and Mipha with Link to protect them, making it thick enough that it'll take a good several hits before it will start to break before the spell fails; causing it to break and melt. He then throws the Moblin Spear like a javelin, piercing into one of the shadow twili monsters to get their attention._

"Pick on someone your own size, bastards. Or can't you guys take on someone more your size?" _Gatu said, drawing the Bone Sword gifted to him earlier since his Moblin Spear was gone now, holding the Bone Sword in a two-handed stance since he lacks a shield; as well as drawing the aggravation of the remaining shadow twili monsters on him to buy Mipha and Link time to recover. Lackluster in equipment and gear he may be, but there's three things that are still true: he's got the tools, the talent, and the courage to face the odds of adversity._

The shadow monster that met Gatu’s javelin shatters into a million pieces.

One monster remains. It looks around briefly to assess its situation. Most of his friends are gone but there are a couple of corpses laying on the field, still smoldering from the lightning attack. It weakly raises its hand and calls them back to life. They rise, still exuding smoke, and begin to advance towards Gatu.

The twili monster that called them follows behind, in a weakened state, but still advancing for a final desperate attack.

Revali lifted up his bow and lined up shots for each of the creatures. "You guys just don't stay down!" He thought that sword would've done the trick, but he's gotta hand it to these guys, they're more annoying than keese. He didn't think there would be anything that could rise above that status, but these things managed to do it.

He fires off three shots successfully, each aimed to strike down these beasts for the final time.

The beasts all explode at once. The plaza remains silent with smoke rising from the fallen shadows. They soon fade into a black dust, rising into the grey sky.

"But something keeps bugging me... I used the Master Sword to end the Flood and recede the waters... I went with Princess Zelda and her guards to return it to its pedestal in the Temple of Time. The Door of Time were sealed shut before the flood, and only opened after she used her Sage magic to open it up so I could return it with her since we didn't have the Spiritual Stones or the other two keys. So how was it the Master Sword got taken and brought here in the first place after the Door of Time was closed?"

Mipha could understand Kala's sentiments, even if she may have been slightly disheartened at hearing her words. Still, she would hold out hope regarding the opportunity that might very well present itself.

"Evil has a way of overwhelming and corrupting what are considered sacred places. Each of the temples in the land served significance to its people in some form and Ganondorf invaded each one. The Master Sword, despite its power, I can imagine can be affected in similar fashion. However, unlike the temples, it bears a unique sentience that may have contributed to its disappearance. It may have ended up here due to fear or protection or something else," she offered her thoughts on the matter.

"That is what I think, at any rate."

Maintaining her hold on her trident, she turns away from the group to look towards the islands once again. It doesn't appear they're very active, which begs the question of where the others are. Were they successful? Why haven't they returned?

She'd placed a hand to her chest in a self-soothing manner to calm her heart, nearly sinking into the thought that they might very well be in trouble. Naturally, she lowered her eyes from the island feeling troubled. Yet, what was sadness was quickly turned into befuddlement. "What is happening in the water?"

She returned to the group. "Something has happened in the sea. It's filled with streams of light!"

_Gatu runs over and looks downwards to see what Mipha sees._
"Something important must have fallen into the water after what the others did over on the Floating Island. It's hard to tell, but... I think they went down to retrieve it. I think I see a craft of some sort down there, near the farthest stream of light over there." _Gatu said, pointing it out to Mipha if she hasn't spotted it._

"They went down? Are you certain?" Mipha inquired, her voice elevating as she'd stepped closer over the edge to take a look at where Gatu was looking. She couldn't quite make it out in the same way, but it didn't matter. They could very well be in danger. "But the waters... I thought--" She shook her head. "Nevermind, that. I'm going to go after them." She hastened towards the cliff that Link jumped from before. Looking over the ledge, she studied where the guiding light was leading towards. Without further hesitation she dove off the ledge and slipped through through the surface of the sea as smoothly as a knife through butter.

"Be careful Mipha!" _Gatu said after her, wishing her all the luck as she leap and dove down to see what's going on._

Kala crosses her arms and mutters something under her breath... something about "she is going to get herself killed" and "spoiled princess".

She walks to the edge then turns and gives Gatu a sharp look. "Well, are you coming or not?"

Revali came gliding in from above, circling over the area before coming to a landing. He didn't want to run into any issues on his way down. "Hey!" He calls out in greeting. "Me and Red have finally returned. We're coming to pick you guys up and fly you back to a boat out there. Seems a lot has happened and it'll be too hard to explain. Best way I can put it - A whale of light is tugging the boat." He shrugs.

"Don't ask me more, I just got there and got yelled at by Mipha."

Red comes landing soon after Blue and stretches a bit. "We've been doing a lot of flying..." He states. "But yeah, what the Blue guy says is correct. All the others are okay, though. That we know of, at least." He confirmed.

"If you all are ready, just say the word and we can carry you back. No need to get into the water."

Kala was about to jump into the water, maybe grabbing Gatu with or without his permission, but she stops when she sees the two figures on the horizon. She points and then runs to them as they land. "Boat?" She asks confused.

She stares out at murky water and frowns, then turns to the birds. Then the other thing he said clicks in her mind, "Whale... of light? What?" She looks more confused now. "Are they in danger? The people on the boat?"

Revali sighs, lifting his wing to his head to hold it briefly. "Yes, a boat. Whale of light. You heard it right. No one is in danger, thankfully. I'm not making any guarantees, I don't know anything about these waters, so they might not stay that way. But, for now, folks are fine. In fact, a lot of the crew looked like you," he pointed to Kala.

"We should probably get going before we lose sight of the boat. I don't think that whale is intent on stopping anytime soon."

Red grumbled, "I'll pick up from where he left off. There's a boat that's currently manned with a crew. Some of them look like you. Whatever happened on that island there is also responsible for the light in the water. We think they're headed towards its source." He eyes Blue. "It really wasn't that much to describe..."

He then returns his attention to Kala. "But if we stay here, they're probably going to get further away and I don't really want to be stuck here, so can we start flying off?" He thumb points in the general direction of were the boat is.

Kala crosses her arms. This wasn't exactly helpful dialogue, and she doesn't seem to enjoy small talk.

She immediately quips as soon as Red finishes, “Look, take these two…” she points at Gatu and Impa. “I can manage. A few sea serpents don't frighten me. Just try not to get eaten out there. I don't know what your kind tastes like but I am sure our local species would find you all delicious.”

She seems suddenly agitated and impatient to get to that boat. With that brief monologue, she jumps into the water with her spear. She disappears into the sea mist, practically flying across the surface of the water.

"I don't want to find that out. This is exactly why I want to fly away from here and eventually, out of here entirely." Red slouched a bit, thinking about being some sort of sea serpent snack. He took off and grabbed up Gatu, leaving Blue to pick up Impa. "N-not without helping out. I mean, we did sort of make an agreement and I'd hate to be the one to break that..."

"I'm in peak form and I take very good care of myself, so I would assume my taste would be sublime. But, I'm not about to be anyone's snack. I work far too hard just to become some mince meat for a sea serpent out here. Should it come to pass that I am unfortunately eaten, I will make sure the sea serpent that did it will have the worst stomach pains of its life every step of the way." Revali flies over to grab up Impa. "Alright, just hold on and we'll get back to the boat in no time."

"Let's head out. The faster we can go snag that orb of light that fell off the island, the faster we can hopefully stabilize BOTH realms." _Gatu replies, willing to head down and rejoin the others. The sooner they get the Master Sword out of the Twilight Realm, the faster it can stabilize._
