This is a one page comic based off of this funny blurb that I wrote awhile ago:
Sky stumbled into the captain's seat of a freighter and scanned over the controls frantically.
"How does this thing work?" He yelled towards the back of the ship.
Legend stopped his decent down the ladder in shock. "I thought you were the best pilot!"
"I'm a fighter pilot!" Sky shot back in frustration. "I've never seen a ship like this before!"
Legend blinked at him in disbelief. "This is a simple freighter! How have you not seen one?"
"My people never traded with outsiders!" Sky explained as he guessed at the switches and successfully started the engines. "The biggest ship we have besides our loftwing fighters is the Skycarrier itself!"
"Blast it all!" Legend swore as he mentally declared this conversation a lost cause. He let himself drop into the lower turret position. "Just figure it out! I'm manning the guns!"
I have more writings like these and will probably make more comics and maybe even animations?
Today was just like any other day. Until it wasn’t. Will was out investigating a report of someone he needed to interrogate in private. He was distracted however, when a cute and amazingly beautiful girl ran into him, looking nervously over her shoulder. As they collided, the other fell back with a yelp but Will suavely managed to catch her, keeping them in a dip. God, her deep blush was adorable. And those eyes. Grinning, Will raised his eyebrow down at her. “You alright?”
“F-f-fine-“ she squeaked.
“You’re not hurt, are you?”
“N-n-no, t-thanks to you-“
“Happy to help.” The longer he stared into her deep, bright blue eyes the harder it was to look away.
“U-um… you c-can let go now-“ Will blinked before clearing his throat and helping her back to her feet, frowning a little when he noticed her look behind her again.
“Are… you sure you’re okay? Is someone following you?”
She sighed but smiled kindly. “It’s alright. They never leave me. It’s been four years and they’re still everywhere I turn.”
Will frowned more. “That… doesn’t sound good…”
“N-no, it’s alright. They were hired to-“
“That doesn’t sound any better. In fact, it sounds worse.” She looked back again. “Do you need help? I could knock some sense into them-“ Her head whipped around.
“N-no-! No, I don’t want you to get hurt!”
“Hurt? I know my way around a fight. I’ll be fine.” The girl shyly tucked hair behind her ear as she giggled lightly, and Will couldn’t take his eyes off her. What was wrong with him?
“That’s sweet, but I’ll get in trouble if you do. I already get in enough by being alone like this. I must have lost them though…”
“Wait… did you say them?”
“Y-yeah-“
“More than one person is following you?” Oh, he was going to kick some asses.
“W-well- yes-“
“I’m sorry, what’s your name?”
“H-huh? Oh… uh… Ray-?” Wait a second.
“Ray? Isn’t that a boy’s name?”
“Uh… I-I guess? In my case.“ Shit.
“Oh.”
“I-I’m sorry, I don’t see how-“
“Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing.” Shit, shit, shit, shit. That was a close call.
“O-oh… well then it’s only fair I get your name.” Ray smiled sweetly. Why didn’t he feel any different?
“U-uh… Will.”
“Well, it’s nice to meet you Will.”
“Nice you… uh… it’s n-nice to meet you too.” Ray giggled, and Will smiled in response. God, that was a close call. He almost fell for a guy. Ridiculous.
“I… should get going now so-“ His face soon fell.
“W-wait-!” They both blinked in surprise.
“Y-yes?” Ray asked curiously.
“You… work in a bar, right?” His eyes sparkled and it looked as if the stars were twinkling in the sky.
“How did you know?”
“Your outfit. You heading to work?”
“Oh… j-just got off, actually.” Will frowned in concern and checked his watch: 9:30 a.m.
“This early in the morning?”
“L-long night-“ Will watched him doubtfully. Why did he feel so concerned for a stranger?
“Guess so…” Ray winced and hugged himself before Will nodded behind them pointedly. “Guessing they’re from the bar?”
“H-huh-? Oh! No, they’re my body guards. Someone like me isn’t safe alone in Chicago.” He laughed nervously.
“Wait... bodyguards?” Why did he have bodyguards? And why was he trying to run from them?
“Um… I’m really sorry- it was nice meeting you and all but I’m going to be late-“
“Oh, oh, right- of course- my apologies-“ Ray smiled as Will stepped aside to let him pass, though he stopped only a few feet ahead.
“Um… Will?” Will blinked in response but tilted his head, intrigued. “I’ll see you around, okay?” Will had never found a smile as wondrous as that before and it made him grin back.
“See you.” And as Ray finally skipped away, Will frowned in dismay. Will was a man in denial that the reason he was upset was because Ray left. Will was a man in denial that he was in love.
Hi! I just saw your posts for Binding the Pages of Legends Foretold, and I LOVE the character designs so far! I have so many questions about this AU (super excited, btw), but I’m not sure which direction to go first … could I ask about the Links’ personalities/roles they slip in and out of within the group?
Hiiiii! Thank you for the compliments you’re very sweet! Feel free to ask any questions you’d like!
I am very much still workshopping this au and I haven’t gotten to every Link yet when it comes to personality and roles within the group, but I’ll try my best. Also I’ll keep it concise. As to not make a laundry list of things.
Cavalry(Hw) is the second oldest of my Links and he’s kinda the leader. He’s a great strategist and has lots of experience commanding large groups. He’s a bit of a worry wart though and isn’t entirely comfortable with leading a group of children.
Chosen(SSmanga) is the oldest and is often looked to as the wise counsel. He believes that Cavalry is the best choice when it comes to leadership so he put him in charge. He takes the helm sometimes, but he’d rather remedy the more hidden problems of the younger heroes.
Sora(SS) is often the voice of harmony between the Links. A mediator. Cavalry depends upon him to help make strategic decisions and the younger members of the group depend upon him as a spokesperson in important matters.
Hikari(TPmanga) I haven’t gotten to him yet and he’s probably the last one I’ll get to since I need to actually read his manga, but I’m thinking he’ll be the one who keeps track of where everyone is. He’s also a great scout.
Toki(OoT/MMmanga) is the mysterious aloof one. He’s standoffish at first, but he’s got a kind heart. He will do anything to preserve the innocence of those younger than him.
Ringo(ALttPmanga) loves apples and makes it everyone’s problem. He’s a pure soul and would do anything if you’d ask nicely. He’s also got a strange connection to the divine. He asks, they answer. He’s not sure why. He carries a lot of blessed apples with him.
Tech(BotW/Totk) Haven’t gotten to him either. A bit of a wildcard though. We’ll see.
Iro(FSAmanga) is a little hotheaded. He genuinely believes that they can face anything that comes their way with the strength of his new team. He often butts heads with Cavalry over strategy, but both of them are working on it. He’s a great morale booster.
Persevere(TLoZ/AoL) is a quiet powerhouse with a will of iron. Oh man he’s a magic man. He’s got the healing spell, but I don’t think the role of healer is right for him. He’s hopeful for the revival of his land.
Tide(WW/(PHmanga)) is spunky and hyperactive. His voice can level a whole gear shop and junkyard. He will be your big brother no matter how much older you are. You have no say. Tell him your problems darn it!
Whisper(EoW) is hardworking and selfless. He enjoys helping others even with menial tasks. He’s vigilant and has sharp eyes and ears so he makes a good look out. He can’t alert the others with his voice yet so they bought him a whistle.
Pocket(MCmanga) is stubborn. Very stubborn. As the youngest of the group, he’s intent on proving himself, but the older heroes don’t make it easy. Hence, he’s often frustrated and wears a grumpy little pout on his face.
Oracle(OoS/OoAmanga) I need to research some more for this one. So far, he likes to dance and play the harp and he has a lot of animal friends.
Thanks for the question! If you have more, ask away!
What if each of the Links' biggest phobias/irrational fears were based upon the trauma of their predecessor?
Some of these are angsty and some ended up kinda funny.
Creepy Enemies (Disembodied Hands)
Hyrule hummed thoughtfully as he tossed a short stick into the campfire. He glanced up at the other boys seated around and asked carefully, "Are there any kinds of enemies that really creep you guys out? Just curious."
"Disembodied hands," Twilight answered quickly.
"Hey! I was gonna say that." Wind grumbled.
Legend pondered a moment before squinting at the flames and replying, "Actually... the same as them."
Hyrule raised his eyebrows in surprise. "Not fans of wallmasters huh?"
"Hands that come out of the ground are worse..." The youngest shivered.
"Oh," Twilight grimaced. "Yeah. I don't like the sound of that."
Water
"Come on, Hyrule!" Wind called across the gap. He studied the other boy's expression as Hyrule hesitantly inched closer to the edge of the dark water. "It's okay if you get wet! I have an easy way to dry off!"
"That... That's not the problem..." Hyrule replied with a shaky voice.
"What?"
"I can't swim." The brunette backed away from the edge and locked his worried gaze with Wind.
"Really?" Wind tilted his head curiously. "Why?"
"I never learned. Deep water... makes me anxious." Hyrule crouched with his palms on the ground. Magic vibrated under his skin as he readied to jump. "You might want to stand back!"
Hyrule launched himself over the divide filled with the dark abyss of water and stumbled to safety. His friend joined him at his side with a kind smile.
"Are you good?" Hyrule nodded after a moment. Wind continued,"I'll try to avoid deep water next time."
Sneaking up from behind
"Four."
A hand gripped his shoulder. Four jolted.
"AH! NAYRU!" He swung around franticly and his fist collided with the unfortunate person's stomach.
"Gah!" Warriors doubled over with a groan. "Gods! You've got a killer left hook, Smithy..."
"Captain! Ah! I'm sorry! It was his own fault. Why did you sneak up on u-me?!" Four's eye color changed rapidly before landing on grey. He breathed slowly soothing the chaotic colors in his brain. "I'm sorry, Captain. Are you alright?"
"I'll be fine..." the man ground out as he straightened his posture. He kept his hand pressed to his gut. "Everyone is turning in for the night so we should head back. You wouldn't want them to worry would you?"
The short teen marched past him. "Of course not. Let's go."
"Are you okay, Smithy?" Warriors raised a brow at the teen's unusual behavior.
"Yes I am. You just... startled me."
"If you're sure..."
Ghosts
"Can we not go into a suspicious probably haunted basement?" Warriors glared at the old rotting staircase leading into the dark.
"What's wrong, Captain? Afraid of ghosts?" Legend snarked already half way down.
"Yes actually!" Warriors growled. Ghost were dangerous. They can injure or possess people and the like. What's worse is that they aren't easily defeated by the sword. "Why aren't you?"
Legend shrugged and descended into the darkness. "Eh. They get old after a while."
Warriors stared at the inky abyss that Legend submerged into with an unsettled stomach.
"Come on, Captain! We don't have all day!"
Steeling himself, Warriors carefully crept down the creaking rickety stairs. He sucked in a sharp breath as an unnatural cold gust rushed past his ear. He shivered and at last he had reached the floor.
He scanned the dark for movement and for any glimpse of a blue cap. Finding nothing but his growing unease, he called out, "Vet? I can't see where you are!"
Legend's voice hollered back sounding painfully far away, "Keep up! Honestly, I had no idea you could get like this!"
The Captain stumbled in the direction of his friend's voice only to be yanked to a stop when his scarf tightened around his neck.
"Agh! What the hell?!" He choked out as he tugged on the fabric to loosen it.
Nearby something slammed on the floor. Warriors felt his breath leave his lungs as the sudden need to be silent paralyzed him.
The cold gust whispered in his ear once more as a creeping sensation crawled up his back. His heartbeat thundered in his chest. Too loud. Too loud. They'll hear...
Thumping footsteps echoed in the dark. They're coming...
The greeting of a warm glow of a lantern caused the terrified hylian to squint.
"Captain?" Legend called as he approached. His tone was carefully maintained as indifferent, but to those who knew the hero of legend he was poorly masking his concern.
"There's something here..." Warriors responded barely above a whisper.
Legend frowned at his uncharacteristic behavior and grabbed the man's wrist attempting to pull him along. "We're wasting time."
"Wait!" Warriors coughed and tugged on his scarf again. "I'm stuck."
At his strained voice, Legend stopped immediately and glanced behind them. The scarf was taut and lead into the darkness where the light of the lamp didn't reach. He released Warriors' wrist to examine the cloth closer.
Warriors stumbled backward, but the scarf remained strained. "Come on!" He groaned as he struggled against it. Impossibly, the scarf seemed to tug back and Warriors began to lose his footing.
Realizing too late what would happen, Legend frantically reached for his hand again. As their fingertips brushed against each other the Captain's feet slipped from underneath him.
"Legend, help!" Warriors cried out as he was yanked into the abyss.
Shrill laughter swirled around the maze of a basement and the cold gust snuffed out the glow of the lantern.
Legend cursed his luck. So much for finding the others as soon as possible.
(Giant) Spiders
"Wild. Wild! Stop walking!" Twilight's voice ahead of him caused him to glance up from his sheikah slate. To his immediate horror he was met face to face with a huge white skull which had eight spindly legs growing out from the sides.
"Ahhh! What?!" He cried as he fell back away from the monster. "What is that?!"
With a grunt, green goo sprayed the ground and the monster disappeared into a cloud of purple smoke.
"You almost walked into a Skulltula." Twilight reported as he shook the revolting goo off his sword. "You gotta be careful around them. Their bites are nasty."
"That's what the giant spider is called?" Wild shuddered as he followed the rancher further into the cave. "I thought that the largest species of spiders only grew to about the size of a dinner plate! This is so much worse!"
Twilight threw a smile over his shoulder. "I'm guessing you've never fought an armogohma before? Good for you."
"What's that? A spider the size of a guardian?" The Champion crossed his arms with a disturbed expression.
Twilight's smile grew sheepish as he seemed to regret his words.
"Eh... it's best you don't know..." He turned around and continued on into the cave.
"Wait... wait no... That means that it's even bigger!" Wild impossibly looked even more disgusted and clutched his bow like a lifeline.
Bells
Bong bong bong
Link shot up in his bed. What was he doing?! He didn't have time to be laying around like this!
Bong bong bong
He was too late! The world was ending! Everyone would perish because he had wasted so much time!
Bong bong bong
The final tolls of the bell rang out declaring his failure to the world. Where was his ocarina? He rummaged frantically through his bags.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'll fix everything," he muttered aloud.
"Time?"
A soft voice cut through his mind numbing panic like a ray of sun through a storm. He heard the sheets rustle as Sky nearly tumbled out of the other bed.
With shaking hands, Time placed his instrument back into his travel bag and set the bag down. He turned to the younger hylian as he groggily walked his way over.
"I'm alright, Sky..." he whispered to the young knight. Gently, he placed his hands on his shoulders to steady the boy. "You should go back to sleep."
"You didn't sound very alright earlier," Sky mumbled completely ignoring the second half of Time's words. He yawned. "Wha's goin' on?"
"I had a... an episode," Time decided to answer honestly yet vaguely. He steered Sky back to the bed and sat him down. "Don't worry about it. You helped me out so I really should thank you."
"Oh..." Sky blinked at him for a moment before he reached up and brushed his hand over Time's cheek.
Time froze at the action. A mere moment later he took notice of the wetness of his cheek. He had been crying in his panic then?
"Are you going to be able to sleep too?" Sky asked, turning to squint at the window. "Those bells were kinda loud for people to be ringing this... late? Early?"
Time nodded in answer. "I just need to get some water first."
Seemingly satisfied with that answer, Sky slid under the bedding and tried to get some more sleep before the morning.
With a heavy sigh, Time exited the room and closed the door with a click.
Bonus: Claustrophobia/Imprisonment
The knight of Skyloft slowly blinked away the tendrils of unconsciousness from his eyes. It was dark. Pain lanced his temples when he raised his head. He winced. His hair was matted on one side and stuck to his face. That discomfort was accompanied by the metallic scent of blood.
He groaned at the throbbing in his skull and made an effort to touch it. To his distress he found that he could not move his arm. Frantically, he glanced to his right. His arm was stretched outward and chained to the wall with no slack to grant him movement. He was suddenly very aware of the ache across his shoulders and back. A glance down at his legs revealed that he was fixed above the floor and currently incapable of moving his legs either as the were shackled to the floor not unlike his arms.
"How... how did I get here?" He wondered as he glanced about his cell. An inkling of anxiety began to grow when he noticed that all of the walls were made of dark stone and the door appeared to be a thick sheet of metal. It was impossible to know what was happening outside of the room because of the lack of windows.
The darkness seemed to curl in on him even though his eyes had adjusted to it. The air was cold and it bit at his lungs as he breathed it in. He shivered, causing the chains to clink.
"Where is everyone?" It was so quiet. His breaths sounded painfully loud to his ears. "No one's here..."
His breathing picked up and his head and heart started pounding rapidly as panic settled in. This room was too narrow. The ceiling was unnervingly low. It would crush him. He needed the sky. He needed to see the sky.
He yanked fruitlessly at the chains sending a twinge of pain up his arms. He cried out in frustration and panic before letting himself droop in exhaustion. Eyes wide yet unseeing, he breathed shaky breaths as his ears rang unbearably.
***
"The shadow is retreating!" Twilight yelled to Time over the din of the battle. "Go find him! We'll take care of the rest here!"
"Alright! Be careful!" Time answered his successor. He turned to their shortest member. "You're with me, Smithy."
"Got it!" Four confirmed and followed after.
A moment later Wild ran alongside them. "Let me come too."
Four's eyes narrowed slightly at the older boy. He sighed. "Fine. Be sure to keep your emotions in check Champion."
Wild merely grunted in reply.
Finally, they arrived at the dungeon underneath the abandoned castle. It was cold, dark and damp like a cave. Almost all the way down the hall of cells the doors were open. They carefully made their way through, wary of any traps that might presently spring.
When at last they stood before the only closed door, Four glanced about cautiously. "There weren't any traps. Strange... It's almost like the shadow wanted us to find Sky. It gave the battle up so easily... What's it's motive here?"
"It's like it's observing us, our actions, how we react to what it does." Time hypothesized as he watched Wild break open the lock on the metal door.
The door was shoved open with a shriek of metal on stone and Time heard Four gasp upon entering the room. Glancing up, he rushed forward.
"Sky! Are you alright?" Time gently lifted the young man's chin off his chest to see his face.
Sky blinked slowly but he seemed to stare straight through the hero of time with his eyes clouded. His breathing was harsh and shallow and his frame shook with each breath.
Time frowned. He glanced to the boys next to him. "Smithy, Champion, get the chains off him. I'll make sure he doesn't fall."
"Got it!" Four replied already digging out his fire and ice rods. He handed one to Wild and set to work. "Freeze the right one. Lower the temperature as much as you can then switch with me."
Time turned his focus back to the boy before him. He wrapped his arms around his torso and braced himself as he listened to the humming magic, the licking of flame and the chime of ice.
With a snap and the clanging of chains against the walls, Sky slumped into Time's embrace. He groaned. His arms and back still ached terribly.
"We'll get you out in a minute and then we'll take you back to camp to rest." Time whispered to him. Slowly, he sunk to the floor and maneuvered the boy so he could see his face. Sky's expression remained blank. "Sky? Can you hear me?"
When he was met with silence again, he reached for the boy's hand. He gave it a little squeeze and rubbed his thumb over his knuckles. To Time's relief Sky's pale, cold fingers curled around his own.
Sky fixed his gaze upon the face of the man who was cradling him. The hero of time smiled faintly in return, the corners of his lips slightly quirking up. "Hello. Are you with us now, knight of Skyloft?"
The boy in question squeezed his hand shakily, his deep blue eyes never leaving Time's face. "Please, get me out..." he pleaded breathless and quiet as a silent tear slipped down his cheek. "I can't breathe. Please..."
Time felt a sudden twinge in his heart at the boy's words and a righteous anger simmered under his skin. He held him closer and ran a hand through his crimson stained hair detangling it in an attempt to soothe the young knight. "They're almost done. Just a second. Only a second and then we're out."
Another snap rang out in the cell and Sky was scooped up and raced out of the dungeon.
When the four Links finally burst out into the forest, Sky found he could breathe deeply once more. He calmed down significantly, yet he was still unnerved by the manacles around his wrists and ankles.
Four smiled at him sympathetically, his eyes shining a rose red, when he was noticeably staring at them. "Sorry, Sky. It would've been too dangerous to remove those while we were in there. I'll take care of them when we get back to camp, okay?"
Sky nodded in response. He made an effort to ignore the metal bands; however, it was hard to when the small length of chain still attached to them clinked with every step Time took.
Turning around to face him as he continued to walk backwards, Wild piped up, "I'm sorry too, this probably wouldn't have happened if I had been watching your back."
Sky waved a hand. "It's not your fault. I should have been more vigilant. The shadow was targeting me and had me drift away from you during the battle."
"Exactly why we should prepare so it doesn't happen again," Time cut in.
Wild sighed and turned forward again before adding, "I have the Master Sword in my slate just so you know."
Sky let himself relax in Time's arms. He closed his eyes and listened to the birds chirping and the leaves rustling in the breeze. "Thank you, Champion."
The group broke into the clearing where the camp was nestled in the center. They settled down and moments later the rest of the Links joined them with smiles of relief just as the sun sank low in the sky.
I did not mean to write a whole one shot for Sky. Please, Courage try not to be so obviously biased.
Anyway~
Lege, Twi and Wind get their fear of Wallmasters, floor masters and other things from the hero of time. Who has fought those enemies plus deadhand and bongo bongo. I think Lege might also have a fear of getting lost. He loves his maps.
Hyrule gets his fear of water from Legend. YaBoi went sailing one day, caught a storm and got shipwrecked and then Link's Awakening happened and he accidentally erased everyone on koholint, including his girlfriend.
Four gets his fear of being attacked from behind from Sky. Four hasn't had the best luck when it comes to betrayal especially in the manga. And then there's Ghirahim.
Wars gets his fear of Ghosts *cough*and basements *cough* from our beloved hero of the winds. Wars was hard to decide for and I ended up basing it purely off of Wind rather than something that paralleled. The ghost ship in Phantom Hourglass is pretty creepy and so is the labyrinth under Grandma's house in Wind Waker.
Wild gets his fear of giant spiders from Twilight. This one was also difficult to decide so I did a thing similar as with Wars. Twilight Princess's Armogoma is freaking huge arachnid that you have to squash with a statue. Did you know that the boss fight could have been a chase sequence instead? There's a small clip in a TP trailer where Link is being chased through the hallways by a gargantuan spider. No thank you.
Time gets his fear of bells from Four. I'm sure most of you reading this know about the hero of time's adventure in Termina. The clock tower in the town counting down the days hours minutes till the end of the world slowly but not slow enough. The people never knowing how many times they had lived those three days over and over. Never knowing that their lives were in the hands of a child too old and too young. Four was a child too when he was tasked with saving his best friend and the world as well. He raced against time and the tolling of the bell, tearing through enemies as fast as he could to save Zelda from her soul being ripped out and being turned to stone forever.
Sky gets his fear of imprisonment and claustrophobia from Wars. Ah no. He gets it from the first hero, the knight of Hylia. At first I didn't know whether to include Sky or not but of course me not being biased at all had to (big mistake). The first hero(who I call Chosen) was imprisoned for seven years on unjust charges by his own people. Then when calamity struck they released him and had the audacity to ask for his help. He decided to help them but YaBoi needed a sandwich first and didn't get one so he died in battle.
I wrote everything above in September of last year lol. It’s also no longer spoopy season anymore but I thought y’all might enjoy this.
oooo Linked Galaxy interests me greatly. Uhmmmm so what's up with Legend's face and ears? that looks really neat and I wanna know detailssss
Also small detail but Fi as a lightsaber is just awesome, its such an obvious thing, of course she would be, but oooo that drawing of Sky and Legend where Sky is holding her and shes just a hilt is just, way cooler than it has any right to be? Master Lightsaber. Light saber in the shape of the Master Sword. Its awesome!
Hi! I’m glad to hear that my and my brother’s fun project has interested you!
I was the one who designed Legend for this Au. I’d like to say I put a lot of lore into it but, basically I just wanted to make his hat functional and look cool. As you can see in the second picture it can be removed. His hat functions similarly to a Star Wars helmet, equipped with comm and radio, scopes for shooting, night vision and possibly a camera.
Legend is decked out in gadgets as befitting of a bounty hunter such as himself. He is known as the group’s weapons specialist and he even has jet boots (Pegasus boots).
Fi is a little interesting. I felt that most people would make her a droid or simply a projection of a droid’s AI so I made her an ancient species of alien instead. She is the spirit of an ancient Jedi who aids Sky in his training and the construction of the Master Saber. Hylia didn’t create her as she was simply an ancient Jedi as well (still very powerful though). I haven’t solidified whether she crafted the original Master Saber or if it was the “First Hero.”
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. I really appreciate it! Feel free to ask more questions if you’d like. ❤️
Warriors snickered unashamedly as Four pulled a stormtrooper helmet over his head. The two of them and Legend had snuck aboard an imperial cruiser and were in need of disguises. The captain decided to tease the boy as he adjusted the plastoid armor on his shoulder.
"You've definitely gotta be the shortest stormtrooper I've ever seen." The man chuckled.
Four yanked the helmet off and leveled him with a glare.
He muttered bitterly, "Hand me that cadet helmet."
Legend slid in next to Warriors in full armor. "Honestly, he should really be posing as a captured Ewok or Jawa instead."
Four roughly pulled the cadet helmet over his head and growled in a filtered voice, "Shut up or I'll stun you."
Legend knocked on the top of Four's helmet with a daring smirk. "Try it. We'll see how this op goes when you're dragging my limp body around."
The captain cut in with a mock serious tone, "Don't do it, Four. It won't go over well."
Four scowled underneath the helmet. "Why did I have to be assigned this mission with you two?"
Where's your padawan?
Time peeked over the crate carefully. Standing at attention, in front of their escape was an outrageous amount of troopers. He sighed then turned to address the two boys next to him.
"Now, this is a tight situation. We are out numbered by a lot and our chances of getting out of this hanger with guns blazing is out of the question." He shared a glance with his former apprentice. "I think it best to employ stealth-"
Time glanced around. "Twilight, where's your padawan?"
The sound of an explosion and screaming bucket-heads rang out behind him. "That's him isn't it?"
Twilight rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly. "Yeah..."
Time pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. "I'm going to have a word with both of you later. Let's get moving before Wild gets himself killed."
Point and Shoot
Legend fired his blaster at an approaching trooper and swiped his gun. After examining it briefly, he tossed it to his companion.
Hyrule fumbled to catch the weapon as Legend spoke, "There. Use that."
Hyrule turned the blaster over in his hands, looking for the grip. "I have never used a blaster before."
Legend stared at the younger boy blankly for a moment before continuing his march down the hallway. "What am I going to do with you, kid? It's simple. Point and shoot."
She's a good speeder!
"Rusl can drop us off at the spaceport and then bring Epona back home so we don't have to worry about leaving her," Twilight summarized his plan for leaving Ordon.
Time raised a brow. "You named your speeder?"
"She's a good speeder!" Twilight defended himself with his arms crossed over his chest.
The exasperated master shook his head. "I'm not going to argue about this."
Please tell me we won't...
"Please tell me we won't have me launched full speed in an escape pod into an imperial space station?" Wind huffed after speaking what seemed to be utter nonsense in a down right serious tone.
"I'm sorry?" Sky leaned forward to glance at the boy in concern and confusion. "We uh won't do that?
Wild grinned like a mad man. "Yes. Yes we will."
Four is a droid?
"Who needs a droid when you have Four to fix things? Am I right?" Wind elbowed Warriors next to him.
Legend chuckled. "Do you think he can make it past the detectors in a cantina?"
"Probably not," Wild jumped in. "Not with all that scrap metal he carries around with him."
Four's eye twitched and he gripped the wrench in his hand. "I am so close to strangling all of you."
Warriors didn't bother to hide his amusement. "He's got the attitude for it too."
"Say goodbye to your heaters. Don't come to me to fix it when you're all freezing in your rooms tonight."
I'm a fighter pilot!
Sky stumbled into the captain's seat of a freighter and scanned over the controls frantically.
"How does this thing work?" He yelled towards the back of the ship.
Legend stopped his decent down the ladder in shock. "I thought you were the best pilot!"
"I'm a fighter pilot!" Sky shot back in frustration. "I've never seen a ship like this before!"
Legend blinked at him in disbelief. "This is a simple freighter! How have you not seen one?"
"My people never traded with outsiders!" Sky explained as he guessed at the switches and successfully started the engines. "The biggest ship we have besides our loftwing fighters is the Skycarrier itself!"
"Blast it all!" Legend swore as he mentally declared this conversation a lost cause. He let himself drop into the lower turret position. "Just figure it out! I'm manning the guns!"
How'd you get so skilled with a lightsaber?
"How'd you get so skilled with a lightsaber?" Twilight asked as he and Sky boarded their home ship.
Sky pondered a moment. "I was trained by the ghosts of ancient Jedi."
Time, who happened to hear them as they entered, spilled his caff in surprise.
"Is that right?" Twilight grinned.
Sky nodded. "I think facing off against two supposed long dead Sith Lords was a big part of it."
The captain, who had walked past them at that moment, turned to face the eldest in the corner.
"Did he just say what I thought he said?" Warriors spoke in a panicked tone.
Time didn't reply as he cleaned up his spilled drink.
