Total Drama Warriors: Bound to Destiny

By: DJ Rodriguez

(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! How are you all doing? I hope that each and every one of you is doing well. I am a bit bummed that I haven't gotten much reviews for this story as I would have liked to hope, but I guess I can be satisfied that I do have some reviewers here.

Before anything else, I want to give praise and thanks to God. Lord, thank you once again for helping me out. Not just with this story, but with my life as well. Thank you for my family, my friends, and also for the wonderful people out there that like my stories. I hope to do well by you Jesus, and I pray that you continue to look out for me and those that I care about very much.

In this chapter, Cody and his ladies see Princess Zelda on the battlefield & said royal one has an effect on the women of Total Drama. They see not just a princess who rules by royal blood… but one who truly fights for both peace, her people and land! And they get to see a real powerhouse in magic! Adventures, action, thrills and revelations will be in this chapter, that I promise!

In addition to showing what is happening in the Total Drama universe, many start to see Cody and his ladies are much more than they expected them to be. And the crowd gradually grows from small to big as the adventure continues for the hero and heroines in the land of Hyrule!

Again, trying my best with this story. I may not be an expert Total Drama fan or a master of Hyrule like some people. But I will still do my best to bring justice to both worlds, as well as the characters. That is the best I can offer. I can only hope that I get more readers and reviewers…

I do not own the Total Drama series or characters that was created by Jennifer Pertsch & Tom McGillis, originating in Canada and being released there in 2007. Edited and brought to the United States of America in 2008. I do not own the characters or places that are in Hyrule Warriors, developed by Omega Force & Team Ninja. Published by Nintendo, directed by Masaki Furusawa. Released to North America in 2014.

Now, on with the story!)

A Princess Is More Than Meets The Eye

In the Hyrule universe, Cody and his female friends were now leaping into the battle that was taking place at the West Field Keep. The young lad was on Epona, human yelling & war horse neighing loudly as they charged through the hordes of Bokoblins that had occupied the keep. Bridgette and Lindsay followed close by, the surfer beauty using her pistol to snipe any enemy that came within range of her Water Bullets while the busty beauty used electrified thrust kicks to send the red monsters away. Leshawna and Courtney followed after them, the C.I.T woman firing off many flaming explosive arrows at her foe, while the bootylicious African woman used her large sea-green & black astral hands to grab foes before either crushing them or tossing them aside.

Link was already cleaning house the moment he stepped into the keep, his form flying all over the place as his sword laid many of the red Bokoblin's to rest. Impa was doing the same, her Giant's Knife cleaving right through the horde as they tried to stop them. The Hylian soldiers yelled as they rushed into the keep, engaging the monsters and pushing them back as best they could.

Upon seeing the enemy rushing into the establishment, the Bokoblin's opened both the North and South doors to get reinforcements. Impa declared, "Everyone, take his keep as quickly as possible! We must give as much aid as we can to the Princess!". The leader of the Sheikah tribe slashed through more of the monsters, her knife slicing through them as blood was spilled everywhere she went.

Cody looked to keep, and saw at each of the corners of the barricade were red 3-D diamonds that were spinning slowly. He managed to go to Leshawna and told her, "Listen, those red crystals indicate which force occupies the keep! Red stands for the enemy, blue stands for our side! We need to defeat as many of these monsters here until the Keep Boss appears! Once he does, we take him down and claim this keep for our side! That will be a big help in this and future fights!".

The black warrioress nodded and replied, "Thanks for the heads-up, hero! Now come on, ya'll! Let's take these monsters down!".

The heroes and heroine quickly made short work of the Bokoblin fighters, until an energy flash appeared right in the middle of the keep. Cody, Link, Impa and the others shielded their eyes momentarily from the light… than saw that the Keep Boss had appeared! It was a Bokoblin Captain, the monster hefting a large metal shield while wielding a short sword. The captain made a strange cry like its fellow monsters, hefting its defense and offensive weapon as it got ready for battle.

Cody stepped up the plate, but amazingly it was Leshawna who stopped him by going in front of him. The brave African beauty held her mirror tightly and stated, "Let me handle this, ya'll! You just keep those monsters from interfering!". Impa saw the confidence and determination within the eyes of her new ally, and saw her posture that she was ready to rock.

The general of the Hyrulean forces exclaimed, "You heard her, men! Keep the beasts from aiding their leader!". The Hylian soldiers nodded and proceeded to keep the lower-ranked forces occupied, Cody and the others doing the same. The young lad wished his friend good luck before spurring Epona on to keep the enemy forces from helping their captain.

Leshawna got a serious look in her face & in her eyes as she slowly approached her opponent, who chatted at her in his strange language. The mirror-wielding woman exclaimed, "Okay honey… time to put you out of your misery!". She attacked with an astral Twili hand, but amazingly the captain blocked it with his shield and was sent back only a few inches. Leshawna's left eyebrow went up a little, similar to the signature move made by wrestling/movie star legend Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

She muttered, "Okay, now I see why're your called the Keep Boss for a reason. Time to take it up a notch!". She started to wail more now on her foe, bringing the hand back for more rapid-fire smack attacks, but the Bokoblin Captain withstood the attacks but did sustain some damage though it was minor.

~At the real world~

While Cody and the others were fighting in Hyrule, Katie and the others back in the real world were trying to explain to Own, Izzy, Ezekiel, Sugar, Geoff and Hime on the rather… situation now concerning their missing friends. The party animal asked with a skeptic tone, "Okay… are you telling us that Cody and the girls are somehow in a video game?".

And his lady companion Hime put up, "And also it seems real to them because of what show up on their bodies and how they react to the scenes on screen?". The exotic Asian woman was no airhead, not by a long shot. But even she was skeptic about this like her current beau was.

Sugar stated, "Okay, I have heard crazy things in my life but I believe this takes the cake by a long mile!". Everyone knew what she was talking about, as Sugar had lived the life as a beauty pageant star & thus had done some truly bizarre and insane things when asked. However, it was her meeting of Ezekiel a year and a half ago. The homeschooled lad had managed to get some social interactions from others, expanding his views on some subjects while keeping deeply rooted to what he believed in. Ezekiel was still a bit of a social outcast in some circles, but at least he was now viewing women in a better light. He had come a long from the Total Drama series.

He had run into Sugar, who really had a bit of a time distinguishing fantasy from reality. Due to her upbringing in being in beauty contests and such, she had trouble finding & understanding the sincerity and kindness in people. Thankfully though, Ezekiel was able to help her. After some sessions with the buxom blonde beauty, Sugar managed to get grounded to earth & saw that life was not all about beauty and talent contests. The two soon started to see each other more often after the counseling sessions had ended, and after some dates became a solid couple! True they had their ups and downs, but in a healthy relationship, that was very much normal. And the two have been forged closer together ever since then.

It was the same for Izzy and Owen. The crazy but alluring redhead had also helped Owen out, going out with him and learning much about the… ahem, wide lad. Owen, in turn, had learned much about his lady love as well. Izzy had a career of doing all sorts of activities when she was young, and as she aged… the kind of things she signed up for got crazier & more dangerous. In her view though, it was all a game and she wanted to live life to the fullest. However, her stunts and obsessions soon landed her in hot water with local, state and even federal authorities. However, Owen came to her aid as best he could. And after going to some of these counseling with her, the lad was able to somewhat ground her to something less… risky. While still a bit crazy, it was in a positive way & she no longer did anything completely reckless or against serious laws.

Izzy put in, "I have to agree with Sugar here. I mean… this is stuff out of science fiction, like from a comic book or TV show!".

Beth replied, "Believe it or not, that is the truth. Me and Harold were outside heading towards the hotel when the power went out, and we saw that this place still had power when everything was off.". Her beau added that he also got shocked when he tried to pick up the Wii U Game Pad, and that the controller was still playing itself. The group showed the newcomers that indeed, the game controller's joystick and buttons were being pushed all on their own.

Eva stated, "And I saw that they all now have some bruises and cuts on their bodies, which they didn't have before & you don't get them in virtual reality set-ups. No… what happens in there to them is real, and after what we just witness happen to Bridgette, Courtney and Cody earlier, I would say that they know it too.".

The delinquent Duncan went to the Wii U and said, "Than let's unplug the damn thing and see…". Before he could finish his sentence or do anything else, he was quickly grabbed by the shoulders by Trent and Harold whom yanked him hard away from the console.

Trent exclaimed, "Are you for serious Duncan?! First off, we don't know what will happen if you just unplug the console like that!?".

Harold added, "Yeah! You may actually delete or erase them, and that is the same as killing! Maybe even worse!". Duncan was a bit annoyed at he was forcefully yanked off like that, but Gwen was now worried about the possibility that Cody and the others would be terminated if the game should just go off like that.

The punk young man got back up, brushed himself and glared at the duo. He growled, "Okay than smart guys, what do you suggest that we do?". The two stated that they didn't really know, but that they should just leave the game console be for now.

Ezekiel put in his two cents, "You know… maybe this is really an act of God. Just think about it; something happens that not even science or common sense can explain. I really think the Lord is doing this to test Cody and the others.". The group looked to the young man as if he had another head on his shoulder, but Sugar agreed with him that perhaps this was the work of the Higher One.

Gwen asked, "Test them? What do you think their being tested for? And why?".

The young lad answered, "Who really knows Gwen? But one thing is for sure… they are being tested right now in a war that they have never been in at all. Cody perhaps since he plays video games and all… but even he sees that it's no longer a game.". The group turned to the screen to see the action taking place in Hyrule, and all were now wondering if this was something that had been set in motion by God Himself.

Just then, a gruff voice called out from the doorway behind them, "Hey! What you fools think you're doing here?!". The company turned around to see that it was Chef, and the burly African man had a sour look as he saw everyone in the room.

~Back in Hyrule~

While the former contestants of the Total Drama series were now dealing with Chef, Leshawna was still having problems with her opponent. The Bokoblin Captain was indeed a tough customer, more so than the other captains that had been facing. Since he was a Keep Boss, it only increased his toughness. However, Leshawna was not the kind to give up as well. Dodging a sword strike and charge attack from her foe, she tried to think of another solution. She thought, 'Damn! This monster is a real tough one! My usual attacks only damage him a little, and he keeps coming back for more! How do I defeat this monster freak!?'.

It seemed that her Twilight Mirror weapon answered her call, quickly sending some information about itself into her mind. Leshawna gasped slightly and paused, trying to process what was now being sent into her brain. The Bokoblin Captain was puzzled as he saw his foe now standing still, but shrugged as he believed her to be paralyzed with fear now. He rushed over, his sword held high and ready to cleave the bootylicious beauty in two! However, Leshawna quickly regained her senses and acted on pure instinct to dodge to the right. The monster was surprised when his strike missed just at the last moment, stunned by the nimbleness that Leshawna showed.

Regaining herself both physically and mentally, the lovely warrior woman exclaimed, "Okay honey, now it's time to get serious! Try this on for size!". Leshawna than summoned a Twilight portal of great size behind her, causing both Hylian and Bokoblin to scatter away from the creation on instinct. Rising up quickly from said portal… was a white-glowing cannon! One of great size and design that many of the soldiers, both monster and Hylian, were taken aback by the weapon!

Cody galloped Epona towards Courtney, Lindsay and Bridgette and exclaimed, "That is a Sky Cannon! It's from another Zelda game called Twilight Princess! It's a very potent attack, so take cover!". The girls took Cody's words to heart, and followed after him to get clear of the powerful weapon.

Leshawna pointed her weapon at the Keep Boss, who now screeched in fear at seeing such a big weapon of destruction. The royal garbed woman smirked wickedly and exclaimed, "Time to send you away for good! Sky Cannon… FIRE!". Her weapon beeped in a very sci-fi special effect sound, and fired three times! Each blast showed that the projectile that was being shot forth was a Sol Sphere, items that held great power in the Twilight realm. Each sphere was about the size of Optimus Prime from the Transformers movie series when he was in big-rig form! The massive spheres struck not only the Bokoblin, but several enemies that were in the line of fire! The monsters let out a screech before being vaporized by the brilliant orbs! Strangely though, the spheres passed through Hylian soldiers and the keep walls harmlessly with no damage to them.

It seemed that Leshawna also received info from the mirror weapon, telling her that she could change the potency of the cannon fire by letting it hit only whom she considered an enemy. Anyone that was an ally would be left unscathed.

The black beauty panted as she fell down to one knee, the cannon vanishing almost immediately after the attack was done. It seemed using that much Twili energy left her a little drained. She looked up and saw that not only was her foe gone, but several monster soldiers as well. She smiled and stated, "Ha… take that… you stubborn fool…". She was exhausted, and was about to fall down when she felt a hand grab her from falling flat on her face. She looked up to see that the one who stopped her from flopping on the stone floor was Cody, who had gotten off Epona and got to her before she fell.

He smiled widely at her and exclaimed, "That was awesome Leshawna! You're really getting the hang of this as a heroine! You beat the Keep Boss, and won the keep for us! Look!". He pointed to the four diamond pillars within the stronghold, and the objects turned from red to blue. Almost immediately, many fresh Hylian soldiers appeared in flashes of energy! The keep had tapped into some of the neighboring providences around the area, villages and such that had spare soldiers. Now with the call to aid the Princess of Hyrule coming to said areas, the soldiers would be teleported there to aid their ruler.

Cody helped her up, Leshawna getting back on her feet though she was a little wobbly at first. The young hero made sure to steady the victorious woman until she was able to get things back in order with herself. Once she got enough strength and senses back to stand up on her own, Leshawna gave Cody a grateful look and said, "Thanks little man. That attack I just did… didn't know what it was exactly, but it took a bit of energy out of me.". He answered that it was okay, and he would explain her attack more in detail later on.

Impa went to them and stated firmly, "You did well, young lady. I only hope that you can lend us more of your power to aid Hyrule. Now, let's go!". Leshawna saw the knife-wielding woman leave, and was actually glad to get props from someone as dedicated as her. Cody gave Leshawna a final pat on the shoulder before running back to his steed. He managed to leap back onto the saddle with minimal trouble, and followed after Impa with Link close behind her. Leshawna and the girls followed, the other Hylian soldiers also doing the same.

The group rushed out of the keep and turned to the right to see Princess Zelda, who was holding off some of the monster forces with some of her dedicated soldiers and captains by her side. Bridgette, Lindsay, Leshawna and Courtney stopped for a moment to see the royal woman going to town on the enemy. Zelda used her Polished Rapier to great effect, parrying the sword attacks of the Bokoblin and Stalchild masses with such skill it could only have been achieved with years of practice & rigorous training. She even managed to deflect the arrows of Bow-type Bokoblins & thrown bones of the Stalchilds! She flew through the field quickly as if flying, slicing through the hordes with precision and strength! She finished up several of the enemies by pulling from her own subspace pocket a golden bow, shooting three Light Arrows into the air… two rows of light appearing on the ground, three in each row and the arrows rained down on them, causing small explosions of light that took out the monsters!

Bridgette spoke, "I have to admit, this is something I thought princesses didn't do.".

Courtney added, "Same here. The princesses I know or seen back in our world aren't like her. They usually are figureheads, dress-up dolls or political powerhouses behind the scenes.".

Impa stood beside the group and looked at her charge with pride, like a parent would to their child. Or a master would to a student. She looked to the ladies of Total Drama and spoke with firmness and conviction, "Princess Zelda is unlike any other back in the place you come from. She is upfront and good to her people, she is much more than a mere 'figurehead' as you call it.". Courtney looked away, slightly abashed on how figured Zelda to be like the royal women back in her universe.

The Sheikah leader continued, "She is blessed with wisdom, and uses it to protect the people and kingdom of Hyrule. She has the magical power of light that she uses to aid herself and others, as you have just witnessed. She loves peace, the people and the land, so she fights with all of her being on all levels to ensure that all are kept intact and safe. That is what a real princess does… that is who Zelda is.". The warrior woman leapt into battle, Link following her as they made their way to Zelda.

Cody made his way to the stunned ladies, smiling at them and saying, "Now you know why Zelda is among the most popular characters back in our world. She's a princess in prime form, like she is now.".

Lindsay also had a smile form on her face and exclaimed, "Yeah! She is cool! Come on, let's go help her out!". She actually ran from the others to follow Link and Impa to their ruler, Cody shaking his head slightly but with the good-natured smirk on his face before telling Epona to follow her. The rest of the ladies looked at one another before following their friends.

Zelda looked to see Impa and Link coming to her, and her eyes widened slightly at seeing the hero. The white-haired general spoke, "Your Highness, thank the goddesses that you're okay! We managed to beat back some of the enemy forces.". Link nodded to his leader/ruler, the princess surprised slightly to see such strength and bravery from a mere trainee.

Proxi spoke from within Link, "It wasn't just Link that helped us out, your Highness! Our new friends are also aiding us!". Link turned his head, and Zelda looked to where he was now looking at… and was again surprised to see that aid had come in the form of the people she had met earlier, Impa telling her that she locked them up in the cell dungeons before the battle started.

Cody got off of Epona and went to the princess, but minding his distance thanks to a glare from Impa. He bowed his head and said, "I'm glad that we came to help you, Princess Zelda. I can see that you can defend yourself pretty well.".

The long-haired blonde beauty said, "You… You are helping us despite what Impa did to you earlier? I am grateful for the help, but also surprised as well.".

Nessa popped from underneath her friend's cap and answered, "Cody is full of surprises, princess! You should have seen him when he defended Link and his friend Lindsay against that Volga character!". Zelda was again startled to see a fairy with the young man, as the magical beings of Hyrule only bonded to beings that they really trust. And to earn a fairy's complete trust like that was by no means an easy task.

Leshawna came to Cody's side and remarked, "Hey, we hold no grudge against your bodyguard. She did what she had to do to protect you and the others, that much we can understand. And to tell the truth… we want to help you get rid of these ugly fools to protect your kingdom.". It was best to not tell her the entire reason they were aiding Zelda, and even Cody saw that it was a good call.

Zelda looked to her bodyguard & the general spoke, "They have proved their worth, your Highness. Especially young Cody there, whom I will tell you more about at a later time.". The princess looked to Impa, nodded and trusting her judgement on this.

She looked to her new allies and stated, "I am very glad for your help, for I believe that Hyrule needs your strength very much. We are slowly being overrun by monsters and…". Just as she was finishing her sentence, a massive charge in magical energy occurred! The heroes and heroines looked to a bridge that connected the land with another that led close to the castle, and more monsters appeared on said structure! The company looked to two other keeps in the distance, and saw a column of red light coming from the defensive strongholds.

Zelda gasped slightly and said, "The Dark Forces have received reinforcements from those two keeps. Their leader is summoning more of them! But how this being is doing it, I do not know!". Link and Impa got serious faces on, as did the Total Drama group though Lindsay & Bridgette were more concerned than serious like the others.

A cold male voice cackled from all around the area the monsters were at that exclaimed, "Attack! Destroy! Massacre! Kill the royal whelp before I get impatient!". Cody knew who that was since he had played the game, but it was more ominous now that he was actually hearing the voice. The monsters poured out from the two keeps, and the Hylian forces were slowly being pushed back by the sudden surge of monsters!

Zelda got a determined face on as she looked to her allies and said, "I have an idea on how to turn the tide in our favor, but we must act quickly!". The group gave the beautiful & intelligent woman their undivided attention, ready to hear her plan of attack.

~Back in the real world~

Chef gave the young adults in the room a sour, dirty look as he did not seem pleased at all to see them in the Video Game Room. The burly man stomped to them and said, "I told all of ya'll to stay down below! But would you listen? No! You fools would have gotten yourselves hurt or worse, going in hotel like this with no power on!".

Trent stepped up to the plate and put in, "Chef, there is a really good reason why we're all here.". The African big man crossed his arms, waiting for the music performer to explain why they had defied his orders. Trent was a little nervous, and it was no surprise that no matter how much time had passed, Chef was still someone that could intimidate most beings just by his size and attitude.

He remarked, "Well, go ahead guitar boy. Explain.".

Trent tried to come up with any feasible excuse, but nothing came to mind. However, he was saved by Owen as he exclaimed, "Ummm, sir! Trent here came up to teach me how to play video games! I mean, I never was too good at them and he wanted to give me some pointers!".

However, Chef saw the nervousness on the wide young man's face, seeing through the deception. He spoke, "Is that so, hmmm? In that case, why are all of you here? Don't tell me you all wanted to take up some video game lessons?". The entire group, minus Eva, were now sweating slightly and showing nervousness to the muscled African man.

To the shock of all, it was Eva that stepped forward and went face-to-face with Chef. She looked the man in the eyes and retorted, "Look you sorry excuse for a cook and co-host, we have a bit of a situation on our hands. Cody, Lindsay, Leshawna, Courtney and Bridgette are trapped in a video game world that is very much real to them, and are fighting for their lives against a horde of monsters! So we appreciate it if you just back off and let us watch what's going on!".

Chef glared back at Eva, everyone holding their breath as a kind of stare-down was in order. Noah whispered to Tyler, "Your lady still has guts to stand up to Chef like that. And she's bold to just tell him everything like that.". The fitness-talented young man replied that he knew, and that is what he loved about Eva.

After a few moments had passed… Chef chuckled, and slowly it evolved into full-blown laughter! He exclaimed, "Hahahahaha! Oh, oh that's a good one right there sister! Hahahahahaha! You… You telling me that the game geek, surfer chick, busty bimbo, pain-in-the-ass bossy britches & booty girl are in a video game that is real?! Hahahahaha! Oh, oh that one takes the cake!".

Beth got angry at Chef's words and attitude, the former geek girl going to him and remarking, "Hey! It's the truth! And you have some nerve making them out like that! I mean, have you looked in a mirror lately! You may have muscles on your arms and legs, but it seems you got a bit of a pot belly now!". Trent was very stunned by Beth's words at Chef, as were the others who were amazed that she had just told the muscled co-host of Total Drama something like that.

Chef's laughter stopped, and he soon glared at the young lady, who meeped cutely when she realized what she just did, and quickly hid behind Eva. The muscle-bound beauty was a bit surprised like the others, but also proud of Beth for standing up to Chef like that. In her view, the former geek girl had just earned some points of respect in her book.

Gwen put in, "Chef, I know it sounds far-fetched… and believe me, it still is to us too. But it's the truth. Just look at the TV and see for yourself.". She gestured to the wide-screen object, where Chef saw what was now playing. The African cook and ex-military man saw the Wii U on, and raised an eyebrow when he saw the Game Pad playing by itself. He looked to the screen, and both eyebrows were raised when he saw Cody and the others on the screen.

Chef looked to the others and inquired, "Virtual reality machine hooked up to it?".

Noah shook his head and replied, "Nope. No way a hotel would have something that complex, nor something that drains much power even if they had a generator on the island.". The intelligent young man had a point. While some video game consoles were now making portable virtual reality gear, to make a virtual machine that would hook up multiple people to a single game would be great in size & require a suitable amount of power. And for the resort, the amount of energy would be quite large to deliver to them a hefty electric bill.

Tyler added, "Also, virtual doesn't let people get hurt. Yet look at them. They have cuts and bruises on their bodies, and you don't get that in a virtual world.". Chef peered closer, and indeed saw that Cody and the ladies had some battle scars on their bodies now & he remembered that they didn't sport any at all when he saw them come to the island.

The burly African looked at the screen, than at the audience around him. He looked to the console, and the others quickly assumed correctly on what he was thinking of. Trent stated, "I wouldn't recommend doing that Chef, turning off the console. Who knows what will happen if the game is turned off… they could be erased for good if that happens.". The former co-host of the Total Drama series looked to the musician and the others, than let out a sigh.

He scratched his head in confusion and asked, "Well… what do you suggest we do?".

Owen put in, "Well… how about we get some snacks and see how all of this plays out?". The others looked at the wide lad, wondering why he would think of watching his friends fight for their lives like it was a movie. But they soon realized that he had a very valid point. There wasn't much they could do, and just standing around worrying was a little pointless.

Chef stated, "Hate to say it, but tubby man there has a point. I'll go get us some food and drinks down below. You crazy kids stay here. Be back soon.". He then left the room, mumbling on how he didn't need more craziness in his life especially after all that he had endured during his Total Drama days.

The others looked on until he left the room completely, then turned back to the TV screen. Each person brought some chairs, bean bags, and other stuff to sit in while they watched Cody and the ladies take on the hordes of monsters with Link and Zelda.

~Back in Hyrule~

Zelda told her plan to the others, "We need to close the Central and East Field Keeps! We need to hold the enemy forces in the northern area! Cody, can you and your friends lend my forces their strength once more?".

He answered, "Nessa and I will help you out, my Lady!". One by one, the others answered in a positive that they would aid the princess of Hyrule. A Hylian Captain came to them, overhearing the conversation and saying that he & his men would take care of the East Field Keep.

Princess Zelda thanked the captain, then turned to the others. She looked to Cody, Leshawna and Lindsay and asked the trio, "Can you three take care of the Central Field Keep? We need to capture it and close the gate as quickly as possible.". Lindsay nodded and said to leave it to them. She looked to Courtney, Bridgette and Link and told them to aid the captain and his troops in taking the West Field Keep. Link nodded, showing he was more than ready to follow the princess's orders.

Before anything else could be said, they heard the massive sound of troop movement, and turned to see that in the distance over the bridge many forces of Bokoblins, Stalchilds, Stalfos Captains and Lizalfos bearing down on a nearby keep and heading towards Hyrule Castle. Zelda got a determined face on and stated, "The enemy is advancing! Impa, come with me! We'll go and stall them with the rest of our soldiers!". Impa nodded, her head on the handle of her large blade that she was itching to get out. Cody and the others were once again amazed that Zelda was willing to put herself in extreme harm's way to help her troops like this, but it only made their respect for her rise once more.

She turned to the others and said, "We are counting on all of you. Once the gates in the keeps are closed off, let me know and we'll follow up with the rest of my idea. Now everyone… let's go!". She, Impa and several soldiers rushed over the bridge, slicing through the horde of monsters to get in front of the invading force that was coming from the east.

The Hylian Captain looked to the group and exclaimed, "You heard our leader! Let's get going! Trainee, new members, let's go!". Link nodded, following after the captain and his men as they rushed over the bridge as well to go east than north to where their assigned keep was at.

Cody got back on Epona, who had trotted to be close to her master, and looked down to Courtney and Bridgette. He told them, "Bridge, Court! You two be careful! Link will really help you out, but always stay on guard!".

Courtney remarked, "We can handle ourselves Cody! Still thinking this is all nuts, but we got this!". Bridgette put in that it was sweet of him to be concerned for them like that, and she appreciated it. The young man turned hero smiled, liking the compliment very much. The duo than ran to catch up with the Hero of Hyrule and the forces meant to capture the West Field Keep.

The young lad looked to Lindsay and Leshawna and asked, "Well… you two ready to recapture a keep?". Lindsay smiled brightly and jumped up & throwing a fist high into the air and declaring that she was ready to go! Leshawna and Cody just grinned at seeing such enthusiasm and confidence from the busty blonde beauty. The African woman added in that she was ready to kick ass and take names, holding her mirror close.

The trio turned to the Central Field Keep, which was a short distance away. He tightened the hold on his reins, got a determined look on his face and exclaimed, "Okay… let's do this! Hiyah!". Epona reared up and neighed strongly before galloping fast & hard towards the keep, seeing the enemies now filling up the area. Lindsay and Leshawna followed close behind, the trio soon being joined by Hylian soldiers that were ready to do their part for the princess as well.

Upon arriving at the Central Field Keep, Cody and the two warrior women were stunned to see the amount of enemies that were there. They looked towards the northern gate that they were supposed to close… and saw truly an army of monsters of such vast numbers it made them pause for a moment. Leshawna stated, "Now I know why Zelda told us to close this place off to them. Look at them all! They could easily overrun the place!".

A Hylian soldier heard her and remarked, "Which is why we won't let them through! Hiyah!". He went to battle against some Bokoblins, engaging against the enemy with his fellow comrades.

Cody exclaimed over the noise, "Okay, here is the plan! Lindsay, you and Leshawna stay here and take the enemies out with the others! I'll go past the gate and try to keep some of the monsters away from the keep so they don't help their allies. Once the Keep Boss appears, let me know and I'll come here as fast as I can so we can beat it. Once he's done, we'll take the keep and the gates should close.".

Lindsay replied, "That's a good plan, Cody! Don't worry, we'll take care of these bad monsters! You be careful when going past the gate, okay?". Cody smiled, replying that he would do his best.

Leshawna commented, "Heh, you got guts little man. And don't worry, you can depend on us!". The bootylicious babe was indeed seeing Cody in a new light, in a good way. Seeing him come up with some good plans, and also risking his neck to help them out like this… it caused a slight but pleasant warm feeling to course through her being.

Epona snorted, very eager to go into battle against the monsters that were threating her home and master. Cody chuckled and said, "Easy girl, easy. We'll go soon. Okay everyone, let's do this!". He snapped the reins, Epona neighing strongly before galloping towards the northern gate to meet the hordes of dark monsters, Cody pulling out his Magical Sword and Shield and getting ready to fight!

Lindsay looked to some Bokoblins and Stalchilds that were heading their way, the blonde smirking and stepping up to the plate. She tapped her left boot on the ground, electricity starting to dance around it. She looked to her companion and inquired, "Shall we get this fight started, Leshawna?".

The ebony beauty smirked right back, her mirror now glowing with white light. She answered, "Yeah girl… let's go! HIYAH!". The two attacked, and the battle truly started in earnest.

~In the real world~

Everyone was impressed as they saw everything; from Zelda's fighting of the Dark Forces, to her plan, to Cody's own plan and finally to the duo that was now kicking much Bokoblin and Stalchild ass! Eva stated as she sat down with Tyler on a couch, "Got to give it to the squirt and the others. They sure got guts to take down all those ugly punks.".

Noah added while snuggling with Lisa on a large bean bag, "And brains too. Cody is a bit reckless here, but also smart. He's going to keep a majority of the monsters at bay to prevent them from reinforcing the monsters inside the keep. Again, a bit reckless but brilliant.".

Beth commented, "I'm more surprised about Princess Zelda. I have seen some of the Zelda games, not played but seen some. And in those games, she needs to be rescued by Link. Good to see that she's not like that here in this game!". Indeed, many of the girls in the room were glad to see a royal lady starting to take charge and such. What they didn't really grasp was that she was doing this to protect her people and land, fighting for peace.

Soon, Chef came back up with some food and drinks in hand. In his left hand was a tray that had various food items on it, while in the right hand was a tray that had cups along with two-liter Pepsi, Big Red and Sunkist soda. The African man put the snacks and drinks on a nearby table and stated, "Well, here you go. But we better figure how to make room in this place and fast.".

Trent took a slice of pepperoni pizza that was on the food tray, sitting with Katie at a small table and inquired, "Why? What do you mean?".

Chef turned and gave the musician a pointed look before replying, "Use your head, fool! Them folks downstairs asked where I was taking all of this stuff, and when I told them to this place, I saw them get curious. And when curiosity bites someone, you know they're going to find out what's going on.". He didn't need to say any more than that. Once the rest of the former contestants of the Total Drama series realize that something was going on, they would come up and find out what is. And when that happened… well, the audience would get bigger and following it would be a whole mess of complications.

Chef grabbed a nearby chair and sat down in it, taking a cup and filling it with Pepsi. He took a swig of the item, downing the contents in one gulp. He then asked, "So, what's going on now?".

Duncan replied, "See for yourself.". He had gotten comfortable with Gwen on one of the larger bean bags, the gothic beauty sitting in his lap.

~Back in Hyrule~

The battle was fierce from the get-go, and was getting more intense by the minute! Lindsay was using her electrified kicks to send many of the red-skinned monsters away, while Leshawna was using her Twili fists to send Stalchilds & Stalfos flying. Occasionally, the busty beauty would send Bokoblins in the air with her attack, and her companion would use a Twili hand to punch the fools hard into the distance, scattering them all over the place. The Hylian soldiers did their part too as best they could, though it seemed that they were starting to be slowly overwhelmed by the monsters.

Cody was doing his best to keep the enemy reinforcements at bay, several Hylian soldiers and captains backing him up. Nessa would give some sound advice and encouragement to her chosen friend, doing what she could to keep morale up. Epona was working herself hard, kicking and bucking the Bokoblins, Stalchilds, Stalfos and even some Lizalfos that were trying to break through to the Central Field Keep. Cody was not idle either, using his sword to deliver some strikes to the heads of the monsters while using his shield to keep Epona's sides from being slashed at by the hordes.

In about ten minutes, Leshawna and Lindsay managed to defeat most of the Dark Forces numbers to force the Keep Boss to come out… but it was a Lizalfos rather than a Bokoblin Captain that had emerged. The gauntlet/shield-wielding humanoid lizard screeched loudly as it did a Tail Swipe attack on the duo, but they managed to leap back just in time to avoid the appendage.

Lindsay called out, "CODY! A LIZARD THING IS HERE!". The young man heard her over the noise of battle, and had Epona gallop quickly to the keep. She plowed her way through many of the enemy soldiers and soon got between the Keep Boss and her master's friends.

Cody looked at the ladies, than at his foe who snarled at him and Epona. He said as clear as can be, "You did a great job, you two! Now, let me take care of this guy! You make sure that he doesn't receive any help!". The Lizalfos screeched once more, and Epona responded by neighing mightily! She was not going to back down against this lizard!

Leshawna and Lindsay answered that they got it, and that is when the young man and his loyal steed attacked! The Lizalfos screeched as he defended himself with his shield from the hooves of Epona, but when he lowered his gauntlet to see what else would come… he was struck on the side of the side by Cody's sword! The monster was knocked silly but only briefly. He screeched once more before letting loose a breath of flames that forced the mare to jump back to avoid getting burned & hurt.

The blossoming hero glared at his foe and stated, "Get some Listerine mouthwash for that bad breath you got, lizard face! Now come on, let's go!". The monster was a bit puzzled by the insult, but nevertheless recognized the words as one. He did a forward charge attack on his foe, but Epona was nimble as she was strong. She hopped out of the way of the charge, and Cody slashed at its back with his sword. It was enough to cause the humanoid lizard with dragon's blood in it to stumble, and Epona followed up with a strong back kick that sent the monster flying! Cody turned his faithful steed around, and again they charged at the monster!

Lindsay and Leshawna turned from their own fighting to see the young lad fight, the black beauty whistling and saying, "I have got to say, the man can fight. He's no master fighter, but he's not too shabby.".

Her friend added, "Yup! Cody is strong and brave! He'll beat that mean lizard down!". Leshawna smiled and shook her head slightly at the blonde woman, but it was in a good natured way. Lindsay was still a bit childlike in a way, but it was what made her endearing to most. The duo than looked back at the enemies before them, and resumed beating them down.

Cody and his foe were fighting tooth and nail against one another, until the Lizalfos started to show fatigue… it was vulnerable now to a Weak Point Smash technique! Cody saw this, and suddenly information flooded into his head on what he needed to do! He suddenly turned Epona around, and the feisty mare let loose a bucking kick that did some serious damage to the humanoid lizard! The monster did not go flying, but was stunned considerably by the attack. The horse and hero than leapt high into the air, causing the group to look up to see that Epona had more leaping strength than one would realize! With a powerful neigh, the two came down on the poor fool like a meteor! Epona stomped all four hooves, and her weight on her foe!

The Lizalfos screeched one last time before it was smashed into the ground, dead as a doornail. Cody and Epona had won!

Lindsay, Leshawna and the other soldiers saw the diamond crystal statues go from red to blue, indicating that the keep was theirs! Almost immediately, reinforcements magically appeared to give the hero and heroines the push they needed! Once they arrived, the doors to the north sealed shut with a magical lock that made it impossible to open without the now current Keep Boss's permission.

Cody sighed, letting out the breath he had been holding, then patted Epona's neck and said, "Good girl, Epona. Good girl… you were magnificent!". The mare seemed to approve the pat and the words, and she looked a bit tired as well. Who could blame her, since she had been fighting for some time. But she was ready and willing to go the distance. The young man was also tired, but knew that more perils were ahead of them.

His companions rushed up to him and Leshawna declared, "Boy, that was amazing! You and this horse of yours really cleaned that lizard's clock!". He grinned from the compliment, Lindsay adding that he and Epona looked awesome.

The pixie Nessa came out from under his hat and asked, "Cody, do you want me to tell the princess that the keep has been captured?". He answered in a positive, but before Nessa could fly off, they heard a shout from a distance and saw a flash of blue eastward of their position. It would appear that Link and the others also just captured the West Field Keep.

Cody looked to his fairy friend and stated, "Go Nessa, fly fast to Zelda and give her the news. We'll catch up and help her out as soon as we can!". The small beauty nodded her head before flying off fast, showing to all that pixies were quite speedy when need be.

The young hero looked to the others and exclaimed, "Everyone, let's go to Princess Zelda! She may need back-up! I need some of you to stay here just in case the enemy might try something sneaky!". The soldiers nodded, even the captains obeying Cody's words. He nodded back to them, than to Leshawna and Lindsay before having Epona gallop towards the area where Zelda was at. The girls followed suit, the soldiers following close behind as they rallied behind Mr. Anderson.

The battle was almost over, but the war was just beginning!

(Author's Notes: And… cut! That is it for this chapter! Whew… it took some time, but I finally managed to get it done!

Thank you Jesus Christ for once again helping me out with this story. Thank you God for the people who have encouraged me, and also thank you for letting me stand firm with my convictions in place. Thank you Lord for also helping my family, friends, co-workers and more! I hope to be in better service to you in the future, Jesus!

So Cody and company prove their worth to Hyrule, more so to Zelda whom the others see that indeed she is truly more than meets the eye. The heroes and heroines capture the keeps to lock the enemy forces to the north… and the rest of Zelda's plan will unfold soon! In the Total Drama world, Chef is brought into the fold but it won't be long until more people come in to see on what is going on in the 4th floor. More complications and such will arise!

Stay tuned to see on what happens next time!

Now for the questions! Ahem…

If you were on the battlefield with Cody and the others, what would you be thinking upon seeing Leshawna bringing out the Sky Cannon?

What would you say or do to Chef to make him see the seriousness of the situation?

Upon seeing Princess Zelda fight, what would your opinion be about her?

If it was up to you, which path would you choose to follow and why: Taking the Central Field Keep, taking the West Field Keep, or helping Zelda and Impa with the Dark Forces approaching the castle?

And finally… what kind of orders would you give after taking one of the keeps?
