The four from the mountain soon descended down and made their way across the fields where they saw the large group outside the gates to what used to be Hyrule Castle Town where all over it patrolled many Guardians.

"About time you guys came. We were about to storm in without you." Toma said.

"Sorry it took so long. Things got a bit complicated." David said.

"Well, we can talk about it later. Right now, its time to battle the monster." Yang said.

They then began moving into the castle as the Guardians soon took notice to them before being destroyed by their Guardian killing weapons before crashing through the castle gates.

"Okay. Ganon is in the Castle Sanctum higher up. And boss usually spends time down in the dungeons below." Cabbage said.

"Then that's where I'm going." David said. "I'll leave the rest to you guys."

"Be careful. We have no idea what we're facing." Gray said as they split off as David descended down deep into the dungeons. He saw monsters in cages roaring as David came across a man in adventurer clothing and safari hat with a katana in his hands.

"Ah...so you're the little fella that's been causing my employee's trouble?" he asked.

"It wasn't just me, but I guess you can say I had something to do with it." David said.'

"I bet you came down for this bit of steel, is that right?" Vincent asked holding up Masakado.

"That's right." David said. "If you know that, then I guess I have no need to explain my intentions."

"I'm not much for the run around. I believe that if you want something...you gotta earn it." Vincent said taking the sword and stabbing it into a wall. "You want it… you gotta fight me for it." he said getting in a fighting pose.

"I know. I wouldn't have come after it if I wasn't expecting a fight." David said as he drew his weapons. "Before we get started, I wanted to thank you. For keeping Ryuji safe all this time."

"Keeping him alive? You misunderstand. I did no thing. He kept alive on his own merit. The rest of the Zodiac have survived by living in the wild for a long time, just as I have. We have the skills to survive almost anywhere." Vincent said.

"I see. Well then, I hope you're ready for what could be the biggest battle of your life." David said.

"I am." Vincent said charging at David as David blocked with his sword, but saw a crack appeared as he was sent flying into the wall.

David grabbed the wall just as he was about to it. He then checked his blade and saw the crack. "You are strong. I can see now how you were able to be one of the Genre Generals."

"Thing is, mate. I was born, raised and survived all in the wild. All on my own. If you lose a fight out there, its game over. So you always have to fight to survive." Vincent said.

"That mentality is well suited for a warrior." David said. "It's a shame you're wasting that logic serving Cindrey."'

"Oh, I don't really care about the family much. I only joined so I couldn't be bothered on expeditions. You know, its a shame I gotta put you down. You seem like a nice kid...but there are things you always gotta do!" Vincent said charging again as David barely dodged.

David stroked upward then downward. "Tiger Blade!" He now pulled a combination of a Demon Fang and a Light Spear. "Demon Spear!"

Both attacks hit Vincent dead on. But they didn't seem to faze him a bit.

"Hey. That kinda tickled." Vincent said stretching.

"Those attacks were just a warmup." David said. "David slammed the blade on the ground, causing a large shockwave. "Fierce Demon Fang!"

Vincent braced himself as he blocked the attack.

"Getting a little better. But let's keep going!" Vincent said with an excited look.

Meanwhile higher above them, the group soon entered the sanctum where they saw a large black pulsing cocoon on the ceiling.

"This must be...Calamity Ganon." Lloyd said.

"Though judging from his state, he seems to be laying dormant for the time being." Ramona said.

"Link...Link...Link…" a voice echoed.

"Zelda…" Link said.

"I'm sorry. But I cannot keep him in check. I'm not strong enough." Zelda said.

The cocoon soon burst open as something fell from it and made the floor collapse as the group and it fell into a chamber. Before them stood a creature with many arms, four of them holding the weapons of the four blights and the other holding guardian weapons. And its face was mechanical and skull like with a red beard.

Scourge of Hyrule Castle

Calamity Ganon

"That dark figure…" Teba said. "There's no mistaking it. This is Calamity Ganon's true form!"

"Even so, we won't lose!" Jude said. "For the sake of Hyrule, the Champions' spirits, and its people!"

Hope equipped the Lightscale trident, Indigo Hefted Boulder breaker, Lemon drew the Scimitar of the Seven along with equipping Daybreaker, and finally, Vera took aim with the Great Eagle Bow. All were about to fire upon it.

Meanwhile in Rito Village…

"My moment has come. Brace yourself Ganon, for the sting of my revenge." Revali said as Medoh fired a large laser.

Meanwhile at Zora's Domain…

"This will be our final opportunity. We will not fail!" Mipha said as Ruta fired a large blast.

Meanwhile on Death Mountain…

"Let's go, little guy! Now! Open up wide, Ganon!" Daruk said as Rudania fired a large blast.

Meanwhile in the Gerudo Desert…

"100 years in the making. Hold on Princess. Our moment has arrived." Urbosa said as Naboris fired a large blast.

All four blasts converged as they rained down upon Calamity Ganon as it roared in pain. When they soon subsided, Calamity Ganon was slowly getting back up.

"From the feel, that blast has robbed Calamity Ganon of half of its original power." Jexi said.

"That means we'd better not waste this!" Hope said twirling the Lightscale trident. "Mipha, watch me use your weapon!"

"Good luck, blue one!" Mipha said. "Oh, and remember! When using a Spear, always use one spear and keep your distance from the enemy!"

"Got it!" Hope said vaulting to Calamity Gannon as he dodged his first strike, then executed an arte. "Here goes! Sword Rain Alpha!" he stabbed Ganon's body multiple times.

"You are aware that it's an arte meant for sword-wielders, right?" Vera asked as she prepared her bow. "Revali, I swear on behalf of my comrades, your efforts will not be wasted."

"I would hope not. If you lost with that weapon, it would make leaving it behind a wasted effort." Revali said.

Vera fired arrow after arrow, switching between different types. Hope then decided to try a spear based arte.

"Here goes!" Hope said while Ganon was distracted. "Here's the windup…!" he twirled his spear and tossed in into the air. "And the jump!"

He leaped into the air and caught the spear.

"Eat this! Soulstoke Celebration!" Hope said crashing into Ganon with a huge explosion, staggering him.

"Yeah! Now you're getting the hang of using a spear!" Mipha said.

"Isn't that your mystic arte, Leia?" Jude asked.

"Yeah, I...might have taught that to him." Leia said. "Especially since spear-wielders tend to use it differently."

Calamity Ganon soon recovered as it rose a sword into the air in anger as it tried to cut him in half only for Indigo to jump in the way and bang her fists, creating Daruk's Protection, bouncing the sword off of it.

"Alright… now it's my turn!" Indigo said hefting boulder breaker. "And I love this thing, Daruk! Thanks for the sweet new sword!"

"Don't sweat. Just keep on fighting, little girl!" Daruk said.

"Here I go! Time for some Artes of my own!" Indigo said. "Can you handle this? I'm not giving up just yet!" Indigo said dealing and X mark with her broadsword. "Here's a special for you. Hope you like it!" Indigo said preparing a thrust. "Brutality Rondo!" Indigo deals a powerful thrust into Calamity Ganon.

"Great, Indigo!" Lemon said leaping over her.

"You're all set, Lemon! Hit that freak!" Indigo said.

"You bet i will!" Lemon said staring off with Daybreaker as she blocked off a lot of Ganon's attacks. "Urbosa, I watched this from you. Lightning Snap!" Lemon said snapping her fingers as a lightning barrage attacked Calamity Ganon.

"Not bad. But do not let your guard down." Urbosa said.

Link looked serious as he drew the Master Sword. "It's time to be done with you." Link said charging in with sword in hand.

"Hit it, guys!" Hope said.

"Oh yeah!" Indigo said.

"Wait, let Link finish this." Lemon said.

"I agree. This is his main battle too." Vera said.

Link charged in as Calamity Ganon attacked, but had its weapon wielding arms sliced off as Link jumped up and stabbed it in the back. It roared in pain as its body began to leak Malice. It roared loudly before it exploded.

"It's finally over." Colette said.

"Then...shouldn't this ill feeling I have go away?" Jexi asked as they saw large amounts of Malice forming into a sphere.

"No….No…..NO! I refuse….to die at the hands of the hero once again. I will not wait for the next one." an evil voice said. "I will...destroy this land!" it said as the sphere left up the hole above them.

"He's getting away!" Scott said.

"No….he's not running. He's going to destroy Hyrule." Jexi said as they started to vanish.

The group soon appeared in a field where they saw a massive sphere of Malice appear.

"Ganon...Ganon...Ganon!" Zelda's voice was heard. "Ganon was born out of a dark past. He is a pure embodiment of the ancient evil that is reborn time and time again. He has given up on reincarnation and assumed his pure enraged form. If set free upon our world, the destruction will be nothing like we have ever seen before."

Before the group stood a large beast with a pig's snout and tusks as it stood on two legs.

Hatred and Malice Incarnate

Dark Beast Ganon

"Guess he's decided to pull all the stops now." Sectonia said. "We can't lose this, no matter what!"

"Yeah!" Toma said trying to slash through with Shining Force only for the sword to pass through. "What?"

"That thing is made entirely of pure Malice. Nothing can penetrate it!" Cabbage said in fear.

"There is only one weapon that can! Link, I entrust you with the Bow of Light!" Zelda said as a bow descended into his hands. "Link, you may not be at a point where you remember me or have all of your memories. But know this, courage need not remembered. For it is never truly forgotten." Zelda said.

Back in the dungeons, David continued to hold his own as he was wearing down Vincent.

"Gotta say, didn't think you'd last this long...or that I'd take this much damage." Vincent said.

"I've got friends that believe in me, Vincent." David said. "They saved me from the despair of death, so I will fight for their sakes. You always find yourself much stronger when you have something to fight for."

"Well...cute speech. But its gonna be a waste." Vincent said cracking his neck as he tossed his hat aside. "This is the first time I've ever had to use it. My Enhanced power."

"So, we'll finally figure out whose powers you've inherited." David said.

"Oh I already know. Enhanced automatically know the names of the people they get their powers from." Vincent said as he began to grow larger with his teeth becoming sharper and his body becoming beastly. "See, the powers I got...is the Beast Soul Magic of Elfman Strauss." Vincent said as he stood before David, towering over him as a large beast like monster.

"So it would seem." David said. "But this is nothing new compared to what I've fought."

"Then lets keep it going!" Vincent said punching David with a single fist, sending him flying through the ceiling and into the courtyard as Vincent followed.

David performed a backflip, and landed, sliding back before seeing Ganon's new form. "Huh? What's that?"

"I see. They pushed him to that point. Guess this is my last visit to this world." Vincent chuckled. "Such a shame. There was so much I hadn't seen of it."

"If that's how you feel, then why aren't you fighting for it?" David asked.

"It ain't my fight. Ganon's business is his own. Just as mine is mine!" Vincent said as he stomped onto David, who blocked with his sword. As David guarded, he heard something crack inside of him. "Hear that? Sounds like I'm starting to crack all those bones in your body."

'If I don't do something he's going to crush me like a bug!' David thought. 'Sorry, Sectonia… Looks like you saved me back there for nothing…'

"You're really just going to give up like that?" a voice echoed in his mind as David saw the champions along with Rhoam inside of his mind.

"You cannot give up." Mipha said.

"Come on, Little Guy! Show some guts!" Daruk said.

"You had such fire within Naboris. What happened to that warrior?" Urbosa said.

"This cannot be your end. You must push through." Revali said.

"Your journey is not to die here. It cannot end with a foe such as this. Are you a boy...or are you a knight?" Rhoam demanded.

'Th-they're right… I cannot fall here!' David thought as he reached his Overlimit state and pushed Vincent off.

"What's this? He's pushing me back? But he was beginning to crack a minute ago." Vincent said before David pushed him onto his back.

"This is the end!" David said. "Oh flurry of virtue…" David said casting a blizzard, hitting Vincent like a multitude of blades. "Grant me the strength to release my potential!" David drew out his gun and aims. "This is your end! Shivering Bloodshot!" Daid fires a bullet straight at an enveloped Vincent.

"This is...my first loss? How...did it come to this?" Vincent wondered as the attacks hit him hard as he went flying through Hyrule Castle. Inside he had reverted to normal as he lied their unconscious.

David took a deep breath as he regained his strength. "Thank you… Champions. Thank you, everyone." David then looks to Ganon. "Now to play my part." David let his hand to the sky and fired an icy beacon.

The group down below were running around Ganon as Link fired at it with Light Arrows. They all looked at the beacon.

"David...he did it. He...he actually beat Vincent." Daisy said.

"I knew he could do it!" Lloyd said.

"We'll have to fight our hardest, too!" Ramona said.

Ganon was firing blasts from his mouth as the group were dodging leaving Link all on attack. As soon as an eye opened on Ganon's forehead, Link jumped into the air as he pulled back in arrow and fired right at it. Ganon roared in pain as a small light came out of its body. Looking closer, this light was none other than Zelda herself. She descended down onto the ground as Ganon roared and entered his spirit form, but this meant nothing to Zelda as she used the power of the goddess to entrap the spirit inside a large sphere of light before it quickly vanished. The skies above soon cleared up as the sun began to set.

"I've kept watch over you all this time. I've witnessed all your struggled in battle. I always believe...that you would find a way to defeat Ganon. I never lost faith in you over all these years. Thank you, Link...the Hero of Hyrule. I must ask, do you really remember me?" Zelda said as Link approached and hugged her as she hugged back.

"All well that ends well, right?" Genis asked.

"The long fight with Ganon is finally...over." Jexi said as he collapsed as did some of his group as they started smiling and laughing.

"The constant strife of this world has finally come to an end." Regal said.

"I need something new right now and…" Hope started.

"Let it rest, big man. Can't we just rest right now?" Daisy asked.

David appeared and walked right up to the group with Masakado's Blade. "Sorry I'm late. Had to pick up a souvenir on my way back."

"Masakado...you actually got it!" Ming said.

"Yep… It took some doing, but I got it." David said happily. "Although… I had a bit of help."

The group then saw the champions along with King Rhoam above them. The Champions bowed before vanishing as Rhoam was the last to leave.

"There's nothing to anchor them here anymore. They're free to move on." Maka said.

David looked down and saw some spirit fossils. "Hey, Jude. I think they left some presents for you."

Jude came over and saw them. "Are those...their spirit fossils?"

"Spirit Fossils?" Zinia asked.

"Oh yeah. I forgot to mention. Jude's a spyrite researcher in Elympios." David said. "Spirit fossils are critical components to spyrite production."

"And the champions and the king left behind those just for you guys?" Lacy asked. "Cool."

"It seems like they believe that your research will be a success, Jude." David said.

"Yeah. Once I perfect spyrite technology, they'll be free to live in our world." Jude said.

"I know your research will prove a success." David said.

"Guys! I say we have a big party right now! We just saved Hyrule and kicked Ganon's ass! We should celebrate!" Luffy said.

David chuckled. "He always gets excited about these things, is he?" he asks. "Well, can't say I blame him."

That evening, the group engaged in a gigantic party that was held in the Castle Town ruins. As they did, they not only attracted the Hylians but also the Zora, Goron, Gerudo and Rito as it spread all over the ruins as Jexi, Hope and David looked out.

"So, David, what's next for you? You have Masakado, but now what?" Jexi asked.

"Hmm… I'm not quite sure…" David said. "I still don't feel that I'm ready to face Dark Meta Knight just yet."

"So you wanna become stronger through travel right?" Jexi asked.

"I guess you can say that." David said.

"Then that settles it. Come and hang with us!" Hope said.

David smiled. "I'll be more than happy to."

"Yes! We got another group to hang out with!" Rainbow said.

"Oooh, oooh! Lets see if we can sign up for training in Artes with his gang." Pinkie said.

"Sounds like something that could be interesting." Rarity said.

The party soon ended come days light as the group was saying its goodbyes. They then came to say goodbye to Cabbage.

"So your really living here?" Usopp asked.

"Yeah. Wouldn't feel right leaving this place the way it is. So me and the Zodiacs are gonna try and rebuild." Cabbage said.

"Well, I hope it all works out." David said.

"And when things are going well, I'll invite you guys down sometime." Cabbage said.

The group laughed as they headed up the Great Plateau as they entered the Star Speeder first to see the systems back up.

"Looks like things are working now." Tails said.

They heard a yawn as they saw Linkle exit a room. "Hey, morning guys. Where have you been?" she asked.

"You mean youve been sleeping this whole time?! We were on an adventure and you missed everything!" Rainbow said.

Linkle gasped. "OH MY GOD! I could have become the Legendary Hero agai-." she said before pausing. "Wait, all of you were out? Then...who's in the kitchen?"

Some noises were heard inside as they cautiously approached the door. Opening it, they saw a humanoid rabbit girl munching on carrots inside.

"Hey." she said.

"Carrot?" Nami said.

"This the one you guys were talking about?" Sheena asked.

"Yeah, but whats she doing here?" Nami asked.

Carrot the perked her ears up and swished from side to side. "I came along with you! I stowed away before you left Zou. And so...Garchu!" she said jumping at Jexi and nibbling on his ear.

"Hey. Easy." Jexi said.

"Blue human! CHOMP!" Carrot said.

"YEOW! Oh man, that smarts!" Hope said.

She then repeated the process to nami, Luffy, and Chopper.

"Baron Corpse!" Carrot said biting into him next.

CRUNCH!

"Too hard!" Carrot said.

"Does any of the Mink's know you're here?" Nami asked.

"Aw, don't send me back like that. Please can't I go? I wanna go! I wanna go! I wanna go!" she whined.

"I'm sorry for the trouble…" said as new mink comeing up. He was lion like with a bandaged eye and sword on his back with an open coat and Cigar.

"Another one?" Hope said. "Er, I mean… hi. What do they call you?"

"Pedro. A mink under the command of Nekomamushi and a former pirate." Pedro said.

"Wait, howd you get here?" Toma said.

"I was on the sunny when they came back to this flying machine. I had nothing else to do, so i boarded this strange vessel." Pedro said.

"We boarded it." another said as a lion Mink in bandages and a pink suit came out. "I was in the infirmary remember?"

"This is Pekoms, hes a mink like us. But also a member of Big Mom's crew." Pedro said.

"So, what are you guys doing here?" Hope asked.

"I was tasked with coming along with luffy and the others after Sanji was kidnapped." Pedro said. "But it seems you already rescued him."

"Huh? He shouldn't be here. You gotta marry Pudding!" Pekoms said. "Mama is gonna be mad if he doesn't arrive to the Tea Party!"

"Dont worry, well give him back to capone after he's done gathering sweets from other worlds." Jexi said.

"You better. You have no clue about Mama's wrath." Pekoms said lifting his glasses and growling, showing his small beady eyes.

"WHoa, jesus! What happened to you?" Vashyron asked.

"Ask that bastard Capone. I was gonna let the Straw Hats go for saving Zou before he shot me in the back." Pekoms said.

"So now, youre both here to get back at Big Mom and Capone." Hope said.

"Blue Warrior! Dont forget im here too!" Carrot said.

"I'd never betray mama. But that bastard Capone on the other hand I don't mind dealing with." Pekoms said.

"And you, Pedro? Whats your deal coming on board?" Hope asked.

"I have my reasons." Pedro said.

"Wow. This is more bizarre than when I was on my training journey." Lacy said.

"Well, no reason to go back on it now. They can handle themselves. Question is, can you fight?" Toma asked eating one of the carrots.

"Dont worry! I'll be fine…" Carrot stopped and suddenly jumped at toma in anger. "Why are you eating my carrot?!"

She slammd into toma and viciously bit down on his neck.

"Ack… help!" Toma said.

"Pat her head, Toma!" Nami said as Toma did so as Carrot calmed down.

"Yes. We all can fight." Pedro said.

"Okay, you can have the carrot." carrot said sweetly.

"That was close, you almost killed me!" Toma said.

"Toma was almost dead. Not bad." Cyrille said.

"Some friend you are!" Toma shouted.

"All right. They can stay." Jexi said.

"Yay!" Carrot said.

"Don't know about you guys, but I'm about to get reacquainted with an old friend...TV." Jibanyan said turning it on. "Hey, the yellow sheep guys on!"

"Ampharos? Move over!" Hope said sitting down and shoving jibanyan aside.

"Hey!" Jibanyan said.

The TV showed Ampharos driving a car with his eyes closed as a few of the expedition society rode along with him.

"Greeting, people of the worlds. Now, recently it has turned out that 8 new universes had mysteriously popped up after Yamigedo's defeat, therefore, a lot of funding is pouring in to help explore these places. But with the overflow, we have decided to put it towards an exciting new idea...a new competition." Ampharos said.

"What the?" the group said.

"Sir, should you really be driving with your eyes closed?" Buizel asked.

"Its fine. I'll be excited when we finally stop somewhere new." Ampharos said. "Anyway, this new idea is one of amazingness….a race around the universes! But this is no mere footrace. This is a full blooded, autobody, vehicular race!"

"Oh that is so amazing!" Rainbow said.

'Now, here are the rules. You can compete as a single or a team. There are four divisions: Car, motorcycle, aircraft and water craft. If team, only up to four members can compete. To know more, you'll have to join us at the...former hold spot for the Furious Universe Tournament. And be prepared for….Furious….RACING! Hey, how come the car stopped moving?" Ampharos asked.

"Because you drove off the road!" Archen said as they were seen falling before the feed cut out.

"Whoo hoo, a racing tournament!" Indigo said.

"And around different universes no less. An interesting concept to promote exploration." Robin said.

"I wanna do that!" Carrot said.

"You dont even know about those strange vehicles, carrot." Pedro said.

"Hmm. Four drivers from teams huh? Well, the vehicles we could enter is Aria's bike, Tails's plane and the Straw Hats sub. All we need is a car and we're golden." Twilight said.

"I got one right here." Rainbow said showing USApyon's racer cart.

"Aw! Come on! Don't race that! I worked hard on it!" USApyon said.

"Plus its too small to fit in anyway." Hope said.

"Wait, it looks bigger than last time." Tails said.

'Yeah. I made some mods and made it big enough for two humans to ride in." USApyon said proudly.

"Well then, who wants to race?" Hope asked.

"Its my bike you're entering so I got no choice." Aria said.

"Same with my plane." Tails said.

"So tails and Aria are going solo. So we can do Shark Submerge 3 and USApyons drag racer in teams." Toma said.

"Problem is, Shark Submerge 3 isnt exactly known for speed." Franky said. "But I could make it race worthy before the day of the race."

"I'll be driving USApyon's little car." Rainbow said getting in.

"And I'm the only one whos' driving the sub." Franky said. "My baby, my rules."

"Looks like the Dimensional Heroes have their racers. So Hope, who's racing for you guys?" Jexi asked.

"Aw, jeez… do i even have Vehicles? And Naga doesnt even count since shes living…" Hope said.

"Just the one motorcycle you got. And...that's about it." Kazuichi said.

"Man, how can I exactly be in all divisions?" Hope said. "Wait, Im not out of all races yet! Aqua still has her glider!"

"Yes. I guess that counts as an air vehicle." Aqua said.

"And I can build a car and boat from parts around the ship." Kazuichi said.

"Maybe we could use some scrapts from those wrecked angelic vehicles in storage." Hope said.

"Hey, youre gonna use my used Cherubots, Angel Rings, and Exotanks?" Pit asked.

"Its fine, hardly use em anyway." Akane said.

"Fair point." Pit said.

"Well, from the date, we have a month before the races start so that should be plenty of time to get prepared." Jexi said.

"Then its off to the races. Start your engines, everyone!" Hope said.

To be continued...
