Chapter 51

Link, Hope, and Morgan rode the lift and arrived at the second floor of the chamber, where they found the third spiritual stone, however, Ruto was nowhere to be seen making the kids frown in concern.

Morgan sighed and shook her head in frustration "Great, someone or something took Ruto, that's just perfect...".

Hope shook her head in annoyance, but then focused her senses and spread them the entire inside of Jabu Jabu's belly "... I can sense her, but she somehow ended up deeper in Jabu's belly... there's also a big dark energy signature there as well".

Link looked worried for Ruto now despite how rude she can be, Link didn't want her to get hurt, Morgan frowned in concern as well, despite Ruto being weird and annoying to her, she was beginning to feel a bit worried for the Zora Princess "More than likely, the boss of this dungeon took her, that's usually how these things go".

Hope nodded "Yeah, we need to get her fast, who knows what kind of trouble she'll get into or if the boss would do anything to her".

Link and Morgan nodded and quickly walked towards a pink fleshy hallway, a couple of biri got in their way, but Link killed one with his boomerang, while Morgan crushed the other one with her hand.

The kids then kept going, the next chamber had a wiggling platform, but Morgan and Hope grabbed Link by the armpits and flew over to the other side where another entrance awaited them.

They quickly walked through the entrance and reached the next chamber, the kids saw a platform on the other side of the room and the kids immediately jumped over to it, when they landed on it, the platform dropped down with them on top of it.

Once the platform arrived on the first floor of Jabu Jabu's belly, a new entrance was revealed to the kids, this one had another switch on the floor, Morgan jumped on it, and the entrance in front of the switch opened for the kids.

However, like the switch from before, the moment Morgan jumped off of it, the switch rose up and then the entrance was blocked off again, the kids frowned when they saw this.

Until Hope remembered seeing some small crates in the chamber before this one, so she quickly walked out towards that chamber and floated a crate with her telekinesis, she walked back to the switch and dropped the crate on top of the switch.

The entrance was unblocked once again and the kids were able to walk through it, in the next chamber they found a ton of biri and a very long platform, the kids quickly killed all of the biri and then looked around.

The chamber is pretty big and tall, so Morgan and Hope had to fly up to take a look at all of the chamber from up high, that's when they saw a switch hanging upside down on the ceiling, Morgan flew over to it and then kicked it down.

An entrance was revealed to the kids at the bottom of the chamber and it opened for them, Hope and Morgan immediately flew down and landed right beside Link, the trio then walked over to the newly revealed entrance and went through it.

-----

Once the kids got inside the new chamber, everything was dark inside the kids looked around until sparks of electricity began to flash all over the chamber, that's when the kids were able to see what was inside this chamber.

But Navi was the one who told them what they were looking at "Oh no! That's the bio-electric anemone Barinade! And it's draining Jabu Jabu's life force! We have to defeat it quickly!".

The kids nodded in understanding and got ready, however, because Barinade is attached to Jabu Jabu's flesh Morgan and Hope have to be extra careful not to hurt him in the process of fighting the boss.

Hope narrowed her eyes at Barinade "That thing has a lot of biri protecting its body... Morgan, you and I will take care of the biri, Link when you see an opening hit its body hard!".

Link and Morgan nodded, Hope and Morgan decided to deal with the biri with their bare hands to avoid hurting Jabu Jabu by accident, however, Barinade suddenly began sparking and sent lightning bolts at the kids.

Morgan and Hope jumped in front of Link and slapped the lightning bolts away from Link and then rushed forward, once they reached Barinade they both punched it back.

The boss was hurled back and crashed against the fleshy wall behind it from the force behind the girls' attacks, two of the bari-protecting Barinade were instantly destroyed on impact as well.

Barinade made some odd noises and began to spin around like a top while sending the biri around its body spinning around it hoping to hit the kids, but Morgan, Hope, and Link just blurred out of the way.

The kids quickly began to take down the biri as quickly as possible now that they were flying around the room, Link used his boomerang while Morgan and Hope punched them or kicked them to death.

With Barinade's body unprotected, Link immediately rushed forward with sword and shield at hand, channeling mana to his sword, he quickly sent a duo of sword energy slashes at Barinade while rushing forward.

The energy slashes crashed against the boss monster making it roar and wobble, until Link reach it and began to hack at it with the Kokiri Sword.

But Barinade suddenly sunk into Jabu Jabu's flesh, Link immediately got a bad feeling and quickly jumped back just in time to avoid an electrical surge from Barinade.

The girls rushed forward as Link jumped back, Morgan reached Barinade first and uppercut the boss monster out of Jabu Jabu's flesh, Hope immediately spun kicked Barinade into a wall.

Barinade crashed against the wall and bounced off it, only for Link to immediately blurred towards Barinade and begin to slash at his unprotected flesh, ending with a charged-up spin attack.

Barinade roared in pain and suddenly got up, the boss quickly began to spin at high speed again, Link immediately protected himself with his shield and ended up being sent flying backward.

But Morgan caught him in mid-air and set him down on the floor, Link looked up at Morgan and gave her a smile, Morgan smiled and nodded at Link and then took off flying towards Barinade.

Meanwhile, Hope punched Barinade into stopping his spin and then kicked him towards Morgan, Morgan spun in mid-air and then elbowed Barinade to the ground.

The boss monster crashed against the fleshy floor of Jabu Jabu's belly with an odd grunting sound, but then Link blurred above Barinade and then dropped sword first into its body.

Barinade roared in pain and squirmed, but Link held on until Barinade stopped his moving, Link then pulled his sword out and slashed Barinade's soft body one more time, and the boss monster roared once more time in pain before exploding into pink fleshy chunks.

Hope and Morgan grimaced at the way Barinade died, those chunks of flesh looked grossed, and both girls thought that looked too disgusting, Link however sighed and then put away his sword and shield.

He quickly turned around to face the girls and gave them a thumbs up and a smile, Morgan and Hope returned the gesture with one of their own, Jabu Jabu was going to be fine now and that made the kids very happy.

A heart container suddenly appeared where Barinade died and Link quickly grabbed it, while he was doing his victory ritual, Morgan and Hope looked around for Ruto since both of them suddenly sensed her nearby.

They looked over to where a blue teleportation circle appeared and right there they found Ruto looking around all confused and lost, though she soon smiled when she saw Morgan, Hope, and Link.

The kids immediately walked over to check on her, Ruto however, turned towards Morgan and gave her a pout "You're late... I was really worried you know? Maybe a bit lonely too... just a bit though!".

Morgan huffed and shook her head, not wanting to deal with whatever this was, she walked into the blue glowing circle looking so tired and done, Hope giggled in amusement, while Link just smiled happy that Ruto was safe and sound.

The blue teleportation circle soon began to glow and in a flash of blue light, the kids were teleported away and out of Jabu Jabu's belly.

-----

The kids soon appeared on top of Jabu Jabu's head, though Ruto was all over Morgan's face, which caught her off guard a bit and caused her to jump back, and towards the water below.

Though she landed feet first and stood on the water while she looked up at Ruto and frowned at her "Hey! What's wrong with you?!".

Both Link and Hope stared in confusion as this happened, Ruto however just smiled at Morgan, then jumped into the water and swam towards Morgan who just stared at her perplexed at her weird actions.

Ruto soon reached Morgan and said, "You looked very cool fighting that thing Morgan, much cooler than what I thought you were, you kicked and punched that thing around everywhere!".

Morgan however deadpanned at Ruto "Link and Hope helped too, you know?".

But Ruto just shrugged "Yeah whatever" Morgan's eyebrow twitched in annoyance but Ruto didn't care or noticed and went on "Well, anyway, you saved me, so I guess I'll reward you".

Morgan sighed "We... we rescued you, Hope, Link and I that is".

But Ruto once again ignored Morgan's words and just kept going "What do you wish? Just tell me...".

Morgan just sighed and shook her head "Whatever, just give us the spiritual stone of water, we kinda need it".

Ruto smiled "Oh? You want the Zora's Sapphire then?".

Morgan nodded, and Ruto continued to smile as she began to explain something "My mother gave it to me and said, to give it to the man who will be my husband, you might call it the Zora Engagement Ring".

Morgan sweatdropped and was beginning to have a very bad feeling about all of this "But, I'm a girl you know?".

Ruto for the third time ignored Morgan's words and just clapped her hands with a very excited and happy smile "All right! I'll give you my most precious possession, the Zora's Sapphire!".

Morgan was about to say something but Ruto didn't let her do so and swam away, while a blue light began to shine all around her until the spiritual stone of water appeared above her and then floated down towards Morgan.

Morgan grabbed it and then looked at it like it was a bomb or something, Ruto smiled and then quickly swam away with a bright red blush on her face, Morgan just deadpanned as she stared at Ruto leave "... What's wrong with that girl...".

Hope and Link jumped on the water and joined Morgan, Hope laughed as she saw Morgan's face "How are you going to tell Aunty Pepper and Uncle Tony that you're engaged, Morgan?".

Morgan groaned and then huffed "We're not telling them squat! As a matter of fact, this never happened, we just found the Zora's Sapphire and that's that!".

Hope giggled, while Link smiled, which told Morgan, that they're never forgetting this, which just caused Morgan to groan louder in defeat.

Despite that little incident, the fact of the matter is, that the kids now have the three spiritual stones and can now go to Zelda to see what to do next, however, both Hope and Morgan had other plans, so with that in mind they decided to go find a spot where they can talk about what they should do next with Link in peace.

-----

After thinking about it for a bit and because Morgan wanted to get away from Zora's Domain as soon as possible, they decided to go to Lon Lon Ranch and rest there, they were sure, Malon wouldn't mind letting them rest for a bit in her home.

So Morgan and Hope grabbed Link and Teleported straight to Lon Lon ranch, as soon as they arrived they quickly went to look for Malon, and they quickly found her tending the horses.

Malon soon noticed them walking over and waved at them hello, when the trio arrived right in front of her she immediately greeted them "Hey guys! What's brings you guys over here?".

Link smiled at Malon, but it was Morgan who explained "Well, we've been running around everywhere for a while now and we were hoping we can rest in here for a bit, we'll help on the ranch of course".

Malon smiled at her friend and seemed very happy to have them stay in the ranch "Of course you guys can stay a while! You're more than welcomed in fact!".

The trio cheered, and after that, they immediately went to tell Talon about this, the jolly man agreed and the kids quickly began to tell them what they have been up to since they left Lon Lon Ranch.

Malon and Talon were very surprised and awed at everything the kids had seen and all the people they'd met, Talon had heard about Zora and Goron, but he had never personally met or seen one.

Malon was utterly star-struck at the adventures her friends had as well "Boy, I love to see some of the places all you have seen, they sound amazing!".

Link smiled and then pointed at himself and then at Malon, this confused her for a bit, but she then got what Link was trying to say "You're saying you'll take me to these places?".

Link nodded and Malon brightly smiled, Talon chuckled "Well, I wouldn't mind letting my Malon go on an adventure with you Link, but you have to promise to protect her at all costs!".

Link didn't even hesitate and immediately nodded, which made Malon blush a bit, Morgan and Hope noticed and sent her an all-knowing grin, Malon just rolled her eyes at them though, she was just caught off guard by the fairy boy, that's all!

After that, Morgan and Hope told Malon and Talon, that they were hoping to stay a couple of days on the ranch to train Link and teach him a few new things, after all, they wanted him to be well prepared since they didn't know what could happen now that they have the three spiritual stones.

Talon and Malon understood and agreed with the girls that it was best to be prepared for anything, so they were more than happy to let the trio rest, train, and do things at their pace, though Link, Hope, and Morgan did promise to help around the ranch as much as possible.

-----

And so Morgan and Hope began to plan on how to train and help Link grow stronger, the very next morning after helping Malon around the ranch, they took both Link and Malon back to Neo Kyoto, to both equip Link better and get some stuff they might need.

First, they went to Harry, who was working in the basement on some blueprints, there they met a small blue slime named Rimuru, who was for some reason gaping and staring at Link with stars in his eyes.

It sort of confused Link a bit, but the young hero put that aside in favor of staring at Harry, he had heard a lot of him, of the dragon god before him, but seeing him now, hugging and laughing with Hope and Morgan.

Made Link understand one thing, despite being a terrifyingly powerful being, Harry Potter loved his daughter and niece, the moment the girls asked him to make Link a new set of clothes and weapons, Harry immediately agreed.

He didn't even care that Link was a stranger nor that he wasn't from his world, he decided to help him, just because Morgan and Hope consider him a friend and they had asked for his help.

So Harry measured Link, asked to borrow his current gear, and then left with the blue slime to get started with upgrading his gear, meanwhile, Morgan and Hope took him and Malon to Neo Kyoto to get some other stuff.

-----

First, they took him and Malon to a massive library, both Hylians gaped at the sheer size of the library and the number of books in there, Morgan and Hope however, quickly ran to a brown-haired young woman, a beautiful woman, with brown eyes that told of wisdom and love.

Especially when Hope greeted her and called her mommy, Hermione Granger hugged both Hope and Morgan tightly and they immediately returned the hug.

The soft-spoken and kind Hermione then asked both girls what they needed, Hope immediately asked for scrolls on swords skills and quick cast magic, Hermione didn't hesitate, didn't even ask what the things the girls asked for were for, she just went around the library and got them for the girls.

Another tight hug later -Link and Malon got dragged into the hug as well of course- and the kids then ran off to their next destination, along the way, Malon and Link were flabbergasted at the size of Neo Kyoto, the tall buildings and the different kind of people walking around.

It was amazing and they couldn't quite believe what their eyes were seeing, Hope and Morgan then took them to a temple, one where they saw real angels! Tall, blonde, and powerful! Hope and Morgan called out to one of the angels, Ophanimon was her name apparently and asked for a scroll on holy and healing Magic.

The very tall and beautiful angel smiled and immediately gave the girls the scroll, Morgan and Hope thanked the angel with smiles and hugs and then left.

After that, they had apparently gotten everything they needed from Neo Kyoto, so next, they took Link and Malon back to the Potters Household and to the basement where they took a portal to another world.

-----

Link and Malon, for the second time today were left stunned, the world they ended up in was called the Elemental Nations, in the village known as Konoha, once there the girls went to look for someone named Himawari.

Apparently, she was in her backyard, or at least that's where Hope and Morgan had sensed her, so they quickly went to meet with her, only for Link and Malon to gape when they found Himawari petting a giant moth.

It was really big too! Link had seen his fair share of giant monsters, but that moth? It was massive and felt very powerful as well, Himawari must have noticed everyone because she turned around and waved at them.

Malon and Link were surprised by her eyes and they even thought she was blind or something, but Himawari seemed to be following them with her gaze as everyone walked towards her, Malon stared at the moth in curiosity once she was close.

Himawari giggled and told her to pet her and Malon did, which got a purr from the moth, Mothra was her name apparently, a few seconds later Hope and Morgan introduced him and Malon to Himawari and she immediately gave them one of the kindest smiles Link had ever seen.

Right up there with the smiles he's gotten from Saria over the years, Hope and Morgan then asked Himawari for something called weight seals, Himawari smiled and immediately handed some to Hope and Morgan.

It seems like Himawari knew what they wanted them for, so she told them not to overuse them on someone who isn't supernatural or they could get really hurt.

With that done, the kids then hung around for a bit with Himawari, Link and Malon got to know her a bit, she's a very kind and cheerful girl, one that is as powerful as Hope and Morgan are, but most importantly she's family.

-----

After a while, Hope and Morgan took Malon and Link back to their home, when they got back, Harry was already done with Link's new gear, which surprised both him and Malon.

Harry just chuckled and shrugged while saying "I can control time and space, I can very well do something that will take me millennia in a few minutes, making gear for you is even faster".

Link nodded and now respected Harry a lot more, he had this image of how gods are supposed to act, mostly silly things, like lazy, silly, and even obsessive beings, perhaps always spending their time watching what mortals do, wasting time as such.

-----

In the Realm of the Goddesses, Nayru, Farore, and Din sneezed at the same time and somehow felt insulted for some odd reason, it was a bit disturbing to the goddesses really, who would speak ill of them after all?

-----

But to Link, Harry seemed different, warm, and caring, plus he seems like the hard-working kind as well, he felt like someone who should be respected but at the same time, he was also someone you just feel like you can trust.

The little blue slime suddenly began to spit out all kinds of things, which surprised Link and Malon a lot, and made Morgan and Hope laugh, both had heard of Rimuru from Eri and Sherry via text, so they knew that Rimuru is an uncle and a fun guy as well, something that was proven right there and then.

Rimuru then extended a little blue limb and began to point at everything he spat out, though he seemed oddly excited as well "Alright kid! Harry and I made you some really cool stuff! You're going to love everything! We made for you for sure!

For starters, we made you a whole new sword, one a bit bigger than your old one, I gave some magisteel to Harry to forge it with, so the sword will now grow with you! Plus Harry gave it a bunch of cool enchantments".

Harry nodded "It's self-cleaning, self-repairing, and self-sharpening as well, you can also channel mana through it as well and it's certainly more powerful than the Kokiri Sword".

Link was awed at his new sword, it was a bit larger than the Kokiri Sword, but nothing Link can't get used to, the blade had this rainbow-like shimmering as well, and the handle perfectly fitten in his hand.

Link grabbed it and held it in front of him, he then took a few swings and smiled at the comfortable feeling he got from just swinging ut a few times, Rimuru smirked and then said "We named it, the Sword of Courage!".

Harry chuckled because Rimuru was the one who named the sword, he certainly geeked out with all of this, something about making a sword for the Hero of Time or something like that.

Harry shook his head and then pointed at another weapon he made for Link "Instead of making you a new slingshot, I made you a bow for your size, this bow will grow as you grow and is enchanted to the quiver I made for it.

Arrows will load themselves into the bow the moment you pull back the string, the bow itself has self-maintenance and self-repairing enchantments, and the quiver has infinite arrows too, so you don't have to worry about running out, a great weapon for adventuring or surviving in the wild, Rimuru calls it the Hero's Bow".

Link grabbed the bow and stared at it in awe, he pulled the string and smiled when he saw an arrow appear.

Meanwhile, Rimuru then pointed at a boomerang "The boomerang you had has been upgraded and enchanted, it can now target multiple enemies before coming back to you, we also gave it a sharp edge to increase its damage output.

Of course, Harry also gave it the self-maintenance and self-repairing enchantments, we also added a mana crystal in the middle of the boomerang, you can now channel mana into the boomerang for an explosive oomph!".

Link grabbed the boomerang and stared at it, the boomerang was no longer yellow wood, but it was now red in color with a blue crystal, the Mana Crystal Rimuru just mentioned.

Link smiled and nodded in thanks, Harry grinned and then pointed at the final item "Lastly, your shield, it was already plenty strong, so I just added a few extra enchantments, to it, first the usual self-maintenance and self-repair enchantments.

Then a mana absorb, any magical projectile blocked by the shield will be completely blocked and its mana will be used to either heal you or restore your own mana reserves, I also added a featherweight enchantment for convenience".

Link grabbed his Hylian Shield and put it on his arm, he then moved it around with it and was awed at how it felt like he wasn't holding anything at all, it was amazing, to say the least.

Rimuru then wobble a bit before speaking "That's it for the weapons, we also made you a set of battle clothes! We followed the design of the clothes you're wearing of course, but these will be more battle ready and will come in handy".

Rimuru spat out a set of green clothes, a green tunic, a green hat, a set of trousers, leather boots, leather bracers, a set of fingerless gloves, and a white shirt with a set of chain mail as well, Rimuru smiled and then proudly spoke up "This is your battle uniform Link! The Hero's Tunic!".

Harry smiled at Rimuru, he seems to be really having fun right now and he found that amusing, he then turned his head towards Link and said "We had a friend of ours make these clothes for you, her name is Shuna by the way, they're made of very special and magical materials.

Of course, I enchanted them with self-fitting, self-cleaning, and self-repair enchantments, so you don't have to worry about outgrowing it, I also added elemental resistance and physical resistance as well, so you'll take less damage for magic attacks or physical blows as well.

Plus, environmental protection so you can survive going anywhere in your world, there's also a blue scarf with the clothes, put it over your mouth to breathe underwater or to protect yourself in places where breathing would be difficult".

Once again, Link was left in awe, these clothes were amazing and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them like he was meant to wear them, it was as if he had been always destined to wear something like these clothes.

Hope and Morgan hugged Harry and Rimuru tightly, Morgan cheerfully said "Thank you Uncle Rimuru, Uncle Harry! We promised to protect Link and to make sure he makes it back home! This will help with that a lot!

We don't know what's to come next, that Ganondorf guy is really evil and who knows what he'll do next, so we wanted to give Link a fighting chance, but more importantly, we want him to survive!".

Hope nodded while hugging her father tightly "We know you're busy Daddy, but thank you so much for helping us protect our friend, thank you as well Uncle Rimuru".

Harry hugged Hope and Morgan tightly, he then gave them a smile "I'll always be here to help you in any way girls, if you need me to make stuff for your friends, so be it, anything for you guys".

Rimuru wobbled as he was being hugged tightly, but he didn't mind "Your welcome girls, plus I had a blast! This was like a dream come true for me!".

Hope and Morgan didn't really understand Rimuru's enjoyment out of all of this, but shrugged it off, Malon suddenly pulled on Harry's shirt and the dragon god looked down at her.

Malon looked up and gave him a big bright smile "Thanks, mister! Fairy Boy is my friend as well and given how serious the situation is, well according to what Hope and Morgan have told me, I was a bit worried about him, I'm glad there's an adult willing to help him in all of this".

Harry patted Malon's head and gave her a nod "You're welcome, I'm happy to help besides, someone had to help right?".

Malon nodded, Link looked down for a second and then nodded to himself, he looked up and then stared into Harry's eyes, the young hero proceed to do something Hope and Morgan had seen him do only once.

Link smiled and then spoke, "Thank you, Uncle Harry".

Hope and Morgan gaped, Malon, gasped, while Rimuru gaped really hard at the fact that Link spoke, Harry smiled and nodded "You're welcome kid, you're family now and I'll be connecting your world to my home soon, till then... go and save your world".

Link nodded picked up his sword and held it in front of himself as a form of salute to Harry, Morgan and Hope suddenly giggled finding it amusing, while Malon blushed "Wow, he has a nice voice... and he seems so manly".

-----

A few minutes later, Link, Hope, Morgan, and Malon left Harry's workshop after saying their farewells to Harry and Rimuru, the dragon god suddenly chuckled and spoke to his slimy brother "Are you sure it was a good idea to make him all of that?

I was just going to make him and good sword and better equipment than what he had already".

Rimuru took in his human form and shrugged with a grin on his face "With what Morgan and Hope will be teaching him, they're practically creating a whole new timeline in that world.

One where a lot of things will be very different, plus anyone would have wanted to help Link, the Hero of Time, besides everything we made him, was stuff he would have gotten later in his adventures, or at least some version of himself that is.

Either way, they're about to get into a very important part of Link's adventure as the Hero Time, he'll need that equipment since I'm sure Hope and Morgan will once again intervene and change things drastically".

Harry crossed his arms and nodded "I see... well I'm glad I was able to help the kid, he seems like a good and strong boy, I'm sure his adventures will continue, even after they save his world.

Hopefully, everything I made him will help him during those adventures, now however, I have to prepare to make a portal to that world later".

Rimuru nodded "You should make it in Lon Lon Ranch, there's plenty of space there".

Harry nodded and walked over to his desk to get back to work, Rimuru turned back into his slime form and jumped onto his desk, and began to speak with Harry about other mundane stuff.

Though inwardly he was very curious about how the Legend of Zelda Timeline will be changed with what Hope, Morgan, and Link will be doing soon, who knows really? but perhaps he should visit that world after Harry links it to this one and see the changes himself.
