Opening/What Makes a Hero and a Man and Link the Pig Keeper's Life

*(We open on a black screen. Then a thin soft white mist slowly crossfades into the shot)*

The Black Cauldron Parodies Studios present....

*(Then we hear a voice of a wise man as the screen slowly revealed a huge shroud of gray mist, slowly dissipating to reveal an evil-looking black artifact with a symbol of a dark king with demon-like horns on his helmet-wearing head, and then we slowly zoom towards the image on the artifact itself as the image became a bit brighter for us to see it. And as that happens along with the narration, we also see a moving images-like slideshow of the whole story involving two figures and their figured armies, one side all white representing the light and the other side all black representing the darkness, as well as the two main figures' deaths, showing us what the narration is saying here)*

Narrator: (Voice-over) Legend has it, in the mystical land of Hyrule when it was created to life, there were once two princes; Primus, the kind-hearted younger brother, and the other, Unicron, the older brother, who became so cruel and cold since their mother's passing at Primus' third birthday. Then come the day of their father's passing in their late teens, the kingdom had Primus and Unicron compete to see who would be suited to rule next. When Unicron presented his way of how he'll rule Hyrule, through power and rebirth, the kingdom was appalled and refused such a vision. It was then that Primus made his well-made speech of how a kingdom shall be run wisely and how honor and glory shall help Hyrule to a good future, which in turn, led to Primus being the new king instead. Consumed by hatred and envy towards his little brother being the King of Hyrule instead of himself, along with their people who turned against him, Unicron created and gained a dark power called Dark Energon that made him an almighty warrior, and formed himself an oppositional army against Primus and all of Hyrule, becoming a dark king in the process. They overtook and ruled Hyrule with an iron fist, that even the kingdom and its Gods and Goddesses feared him. Eventually, Primus and the rest of the kingdom discovered a way to defeat Unicron, and that is to call upon the four Ancient Goddesses who created Hyrule and the world; Din, the Goddess of Power, Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the Goddess of Courage, led by Hyrule's main Goddess, Hylia. This led to the creation of the Triforce, an ancient symbol of power that bestows three heroic Chosen Ones of the Goddesses' powers the ability to neutralize Unicron's dark power. With the Goddesses' aid, Primus and three other heroes chosen by Din, Nayru, and Farore by Hylia's destiny blessing led the kingdom against Unicron and his army and were able to retake Hyrule again, convincing Unicron's army to defect. Upon his defeat and arrest, Unicron was imprisoned within his own castle's torture chamber by his former army. However, since no other prison such as the current one could hold him due to his dark powers, he was executed by Primus, being thrown alive into a crucible of molten iron, but during the execution, he took Primus with into his own demise. However, both Primus' pure spirit and Unicron's demonic spirit, courtesy of the Triforce and Dark Energon respectively, were captured into six separate objects; Primus' spirit took shape in the form of five mystical artifacts fit for the Chosen Ones; The Allspark, Light Bow and Arrows, Longshot, and the two most powerful of all, the Master Sword and Matrix of Leadership, the former being evil's bane in which no other evil can dare touch. As for Unicron, his spirit took shape in the form of a lone artifact with great dark magic dubbed the Black Cauldron. As he perished with Primus, Unicron cursed his last dying words; "My power and mortality shall return, for whoever finds my dark reincarnation I dub the Black Cauldron, if that one has a heart as evil as mine, will gain complete power, for my blood and Dark Energon will flow with his and together, he and I shall destroy and rule the world, reincarnating it into a world full of death and darkness." As for Primus' reincarnation, he used the last moment of his life to pray to be reincarnated for a future purpose to stop Unicron. And so, for uncounted centuries, the Black Cauldron, within it, the Spirit of Unicron, have been sought by evil forces who searched for it, for Unicron's cursed prophecy came to fruition; Whoever possesses the Black Cauldron, would have the power to resurrect both Unicron and an army of deathless warriors. And with them, destroy and rule the world, and destroy any who stand in their way, whilst Primus and his legendary weapons chose their Chosen Ones, by the four Goddesses' destiny blessing, who would stop Unicron and the Black Cauldron. Eventually, Unicron and the Black Cauldron, upon their last evil controllers' defeat and demise, have vanished off the face of the Earth, hopefully to never be found again. But if such an event were to come, Primus hid himself and his weapons somewhere in Hyrule, hoping alongside the Goddesses that three new Chosen Ones they will choose by fateful sensing will come and find them, and stop another attempted apocalypse....

*(Then after we slowly crossfade to black screen again, we then hear a chorus singing as we slowly crossfade into a beautiful sunrise rising over a darkened colored area)*

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Olim, olim, Hylia accelere* (Someday, someday, Hyliaspeed)**

***Hoc sæculum splendium* (This bright millennium)**

***Accelere fiat venire olim* (Let it come someday)**

*(Then a ray of sunlight struck the screen, finally revealing a beautiful day in Hyrule Castle Town as we hear the chorus vocalizing some notes. As soon as the vocalizations ended, we then slowly zoom and pan into the town as another male voice is heard singing)*

Male voice: (Voice-over) **Morning in Hyrule**

**The kingdom awakes**

**To the Knights of Hyrule**

**Even the fisherman fishes**

**The bakerman bakes**

**For the Knights of Hyrule**

**To their barked orders as loud as the thunder**

**To their little cheers as soft as a psalm**

**And recently, a week ago, this one golden moment is led**

**By the Chosen Ones**

**So says the Knights of Hyrule**

*(Then we finally and gently end the zoom in and panning to a wooden puppet theater stage where a male figure is entertaining some children who are watching this happily, enjoying the entertainment. The male figure is a male anthro duck with short light brown hair on the top of his head, white feathers, light blue eyes, black pupils, a gold yellow beak and webbed feet, big white buckteeth, and wearing a red and purple jester hat with gold jingle bells on the tips and also acts like his upper face mask, a pale blue court ruff around his neck, a purple knee-length bodily jumpsuit with a yellow waist line-like belt, long orange sleeves, one with red polka dots and another with red stripes, and purple sleeve rims, white gloves, and red jester-like shoes. He is Quackerjack, but we'll get to who he is later, hopefully. After he finished his song, he then began narrating away)*

Quackerjack: Pretty impressive story so far, right? So many colors of themes, so many changing moods. Because a week ago, like I said, they didn't save the world by themselves.

*(Then he pulled out a small doll resembling a male anthro banana creature with yellow peel-made skin, which is made of fabric, light yellow banana-like skin, also made of fabric, pale green eyes with black pupils that lack visible irises, a small orange nose, an overbite with small white oversized teeth, and wearing a teal green short-sleeved shirt, white gloves, dark blue shorts, and black shoes called Mr. Banana Brain and began acting like he and the doll are talking to each other via ventriloquy)*

Quackerjack: (In a high-pitched voice) They didn't? *(In his normal voice)* No, Mr. Banana Brain. For you see, a team of knights, warriors, and misfits alike, helped save the world with the Chosen Ones, one of them a young lad. But who is this boy? *(In a high-pitched voice)* Who? *(In his normal voice)* What was his backstory? *(In a high-pitched voice)* What? *(In his normal voice)* How did our victory come to be there last week? *(In a high-pitched voice)* How? *(In his normal voice, pretending to bonk on his Mr. Banana Brain doll's head once with a tiny toy club in annoyance)* Hush! *(In a high-pitched voice, while the children giggled a bit at this entertainment)* Ow.... *(In his normal voice, putting away his Mr. Banana Brain doll and now proceeding to tell the story to the happily interested children)* And I, Quackerjack, will tell you, it is a tale of a boy, who became a legendary hero with his team....

*(Then we slowly zoom towards the interior of the puppet stage until it slowly crossfades to black. Then we pan to the left into a night from 13 years ago, revealing a huge boat flowing down from the ocean, through the Zora River, all the way to the edge of the Lost Woods. And on board the boat are a group of Hylian Knights, two of them caring for two infants, one boy and one girl with the baby boy a year older than the baby girl, and a runty newborn male piglet bundled in three separate blue blankets in a portable basket-like crib, and the baby girl is heard getting edgy that she is crying, while the baby boy and male piglet, on the other hand, stayed quiet. The first Hylian Knight is a male elf-like man with short blonde neck-length hair, a dirty blonde goatee, dirty blonde eyebrows, sky blue eyes, pointed elf-like ears, and wearing tiny turquoise ring-like earrings, a silver short-sleeved turtleneck protective underarmor and a white long-sleeved undershirt underneath a blue short-sleeved tunic with dark blue linings at the sleeve rims, neck-to-shoulder line, and bottom, brown fingerless elbow-length gloves, a brown leather belt with a silver buckle and a small pouch on the back, beige pants, and brown boots with pointed toes and tan cuffs and soles, and sometimes wears a blue motorcycle-like helmet with a cream colored cloth with a red bird symbol on it covering it, and sometimes carries a silver sword with a brown handle carried in a brown sheath by two brown crisscrossing belts on his right shoulder. He is Arano, a Hylian Knight and apparently the babies' father. And his wife is a female elf-like creature with short messy honey blonde chin-length hair tied in a small ponytail, light green eyes, pointed elf-like ears, and wearing some light rouge blush on her cheeks, a crimson hair scrunchie, pale green long-sleeved dress with a flowing knee-length skirt, a light green high collar with an emerald green jewel on a gold brooch, and light green trimmings at the sleeve rims, shoulders, and bottom, a crimson sleeveless haltertop-styled short pinafore with magenta trimmings at the neckline and bottom, as well as a dot on the chest section, a purple apron with lavender trimmings and a lavender fork symbol on it on her waist, pale green stockings, which are hidden underneath her dress, and brown boots with tan soles and sun ray-shaped symbols. She is Julia, Arano's wife, another Hylian Knight, and the babies' mother)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **Dark was the night**

**When our tale was begun**

**At around 13 years ago**

*(The two male Hylian Knights immediately whispered to Julia to quiet her crying baby girl)*

Male Hylian Knight 1: (Whispering) Quiet your daughter, will you?

Male Hylian Knight 2: (Whispering) We'll be spotted.

*(Immediately doing what they said, Julia gently shushed her baby girl, calming her and putting her, along with the male piglet and her baby boy, to sleep by gently rocking them back and forth)*

Julia: (Whispering, calming her baby daughter and putting her, her older baby brother, and the male piglet to sleep) Hush, little ones.

Arano: (Whispering, soothing his sleeping babies and the sleeping male piglet) We'll be fine.

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **Five cautious knights**

**Sailed silently nearby**

**The Lost Woods of Hyrule**

*(As Quackerjack is heard singing his narration at this part, the knights docked their boat on the shore near the Lost Woods and disembarked cautiously, with Julia carrying the basket carrying her still sleeping babies and sleeping male piglet)*

Male Hylian Knight 4: (Whispering) I hope we are in the clear now.

*(But that was wishful thinking from what he just said, for no sooner that he finished saying that, an arrow and laser blaster struck nearby on the ground, alerting the knights, that they armed themselves upon spotting four male viking-like thugs and a group of six human-sized villainous-looking robots, three of them humanoid and the other three insect-like, led by five figures. The humanoid-like robots are a group of human-sized robots of varied genders with slick thin body armors with a purple color scheme, with some of them even having wheels on the side of both their shoulders and have chrome-colored heads with a glowing red optic visor. The first group of alternate forms are the Miners, which have a slightly different appearance to other of their identical troops, yet they are slightly smaller than the Warrior Class of their kind's Troopers, having a lighter purple paint job, their heads are purple instead of chrome-colored and they have two glowing red optic visors instead of one. The second group of alternate forms are the Flyers, which look just like the Troopers except the Flyers have wings on their backs and they don't have wheels on their shoulders and legs due to being a Flyer. The last group of alternate forms are the Seekers, looking exactly like flyers, except the only thing different is the paint job that is silver and their heads are black instead of chrome-colored and their glowing red optics are, instead, resembling highlights. They are the Vehicons. The insect-like robots are a group of half gigantic, half human-sized insect-like robots of varied genders and/or insect species, with the tall ones at around 11 meters in a crouched position and 11.5 when standing straight from head to toe, with their black body armors being massive with big black and silver Digitrade (Which are bent ankles) feet and large arms with four long gray claws, three long clawed toes, two big gray ones on the front and one gray one behind the heel, torsos that are far more massive than their legs, with a large yellow outwards-pointing horn on their backs, animalistic-like heads with two light olive green mandibles around the cheeks and a big glowing red v-shaped visor as optics, two long yellow and silver insect-like claws on their chest areas, which they use in combat, small, but powerful, built-in black and olive green cannons on their arms, and, like most regular insects, usually crawl, able to walk across walls and ceilings, and they also have horrid screeches and hums similar to elephants when on the attack. One of their alternate modes resembles a large beetle (Like a Hercules Beetle) with six silver and olive green armored insect legs and one long black armored horn at the top of their heads, which can transform into a long cannon, with their heads having more glowing red eyes and two dark olive green jabber mandibles, while beneath their backplates, they possess four black, orange, and olive green armored insect wings, which allows them to fly. They are the Insecticons. The first figure is a male anthro hedgehog that resembles a certain calm, strict, and brooding hedgehog with black fur, pale slate bluish gray markings all over his body, black curved spiky quills with pale slate bluish gray markings, pale gray skin, green snake-like eyes, a black nose, no mouth, a white wing-shaped patch of fur on his chest, and wearing white gloves with pale slate bluish gray rims and pale silver gold ring bracelets, and white hover shoes with pale slate bluish gray, pale silver gold, and black rims. He is Mephiles the Dark. The second figure is a male anthro duck who is an evil version of a certain heroic male anthro duck with white feathers, light blue eyes, a gold yellow beak, legs, and webbed feet, and wearing a red fedora with a black band, a black eyemask, and a red long-sleeved turtleneck shirt underneath a yellow long-sleeved coat with four black buttons. He is Negaduck. The third figure is a female anthro duck with white feathers, light blue eyes, a gold yellow beak, legs, and webbed feet, long black hip-length hair, and wearing green dangly earrings, if she has ears, black eyeshadow, a black medium-sleeved blouse with puffy shoulder sleeves, a purple sleeveless halter dress with a yellow sash around her waist, black fingerless gloves, black thigh-length leggings, and black cuffed boots, and sometimes carries a paintbrush with black paint. She is Splatter Phoenix. The fourth figure is a male hulking well-built anthro bull with indigo fur, a peach snout and mouth, white horns, and wearing a red long-sleeved business suit with four gold buttons, a pale purplish blue long-sleeved collar-flapped, button-up business shirt, an orange necktie, purple business pants, brown shoes, and a white long-sleeved lab coat. He is Taurus Bulba. And the last figure is a male anthro jackal with black fur, a black nose, white markings on his back and tip of his tail, white tendril-like hair, a blue pupiled right eye, a yellow pupiled left eye, an old healed slash-like scar over his right eye, and wearing a silver metal mask-like helmet over his face with his left eye exposed to the red eye visor only and his right eye covered by a black bolt-shaped visor-like screen and metal bat-like ears with the interiors colored black and white ringed, a glowng dark red medium-sized diamond-shaped jeweled brooch on his chest area over a white neck bandana, black gloves, and silver and black armored boots with small glowing dark red lights underneath his boots' soles. He is Infinite. Then the thugs, Vehicons, and Insections quickly surrounded the knights as the knights prepared themselves with their weapons in determination)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **But a trap had been laid for the knights**

**And they gazed up in fear and alarm**

**At ten figures whose power and fists**

**Were iron almost as much as the knights**

*(Then on Quackerjack's last two verses, ten more villainous figures appeared, riding on their own dark-looking horses, with only nine of them wearing black cloaks with hoods over themselves. The first villainous figure is a male Ultimate-leveled vampire-type Digimon with short dirty blonde hair, red eyes, pale gray skin, small white sharp vampire-like fangs, and wearing a red bat-shaped eyemask, a blue long-sleeved bodily jumpsuit with red bat symbols on his shoulders, yellow buttons and rims, and green sleeve rims with yellow buttons, a red cravat tucked in his jumpsuit, a small yellow bat-shaped brooch holding a black Dracula-esque cape with red trimming, gray gloves each with one light gray bat symbol on them, two olive green belts with gold buckles on his waist and two more olive green belts looped on the sides of his waist on the bottom belt, and black boots with silver skull symbols on the feet section. But we'll be introduced his name almost immediately. The second villainous figure is a cruel-looking woman with short pale purple hair, blue eyes, and wearing a dark purple tunic with a right arm long sleeve over a red long-sleeved bodily jumpsuit, a metal armor gauntlet on her left forearm with a built-in blaster, red gloves with the thumb, index, and middle finger sections fingerless, a light purple belt with a pale purple buckle, red knee-high high-heeled boots, and sometimes carries a pair of dark brown scanner-like sunglasses to wear at times. She is Hunter J. The third villainous figure is a hunched old man with thin white eyebrows, a curled silver goatee, pointed ears, yellow eyes, broad and hunched shoulders, a crooked back, and wearing a white and black long-sleeved coat with a red inner lining over a white long-sleeved shirt with two thin black belts, white gloves, and black calf-high boots. He is Master Xehanort. The fourth villainous figure, and the only one not wearing a cloak, is a male-looking figure wearing a black long-sleeved dress coat over a black tanktop, black jeans, and black boots, black gloves, and sometimes carries two glowing red swords called Ethereal Blades as his weapons, and his coat's hood is up, completely covering his head, that we can't see his head and/or face underneath, for now. And we'll also get to know more about him later. The fifth villainous figure is a tall male human-sized humanoid-like robot with dark gray armored body resembling both a gladiator and samurai's spiky armor, dark purple armored bodily interior, a dark gray armored gladiator/samurai helmet-like cowl, a dark gray armored mask-like face with short tiny thin black outlines resembling wrinkles, glowing red eyes, a dark purple face emblem on the center of his chest, and sometimes carries a dark purple blaster called the Fusion Cannon on his right forearm that he can shoot from. Like the first villainous figure, we'll also be introduced his name almost immediately. The sixth villainous figure is a female human-sized robot spider-like Insecticon with black, purple, white, yellow, and dark pink body armor, a long black mechanical scorpion-like tail, a white mask-like face, glowing dark pink eyes, medium-sized black horns on her head (Similar to Maleficent's horned headdress from "Sleeping Beauty (1959)"), black lips, purple armored clawed hands on her black armored arms, and all six black armored feet from her six black armored spider-like legs styled to resemble high-heeled shoes, making them a total in the style of an actual spider's eight legs. She is Airachnid, the Queen of the Insecticons. The seventh villainous figure is an evil-looking man with olive green skin, short red orange hair, half thick red orange eyebrows, a thin red orange beard, yellow eyes, red pupils, and wearing a yellow gem-like brooch on his forehead, a long-sleeved black, dark red, and silver armored tunic with dark gold rims, a red cape, black armored gauntlets with dark gold rims, black, silver, and dark red armored pants, and black, dark red, and silver armored boots, and sometimes wields a dark silver sword with a dark gold handle. He is Ganondorf, the King of Evil from the Gerudo Desert. The eighth villainous figure is a human man with pale skin, short black ponytailed hair, yellow eyes, red pupils, a long black beard, crooked teeth, sharp nails, and wearing a brown long-sleeved hooded monk's robe and black boots. He is Rasputin. The ninth villainous figure is a dark-looking man with pale dark gray skin, short black spiky hair, gold eyes, and wearing a black sleeveless bodily jumpsuit underneath a black long-sleeved floor-length robe-like coat and black leg-length boots. He is Pitch Black, the Boogeyman. The last villainous figure is a tall bald muscular man with brown eyes, tan skin, and wearing a gold and black armored Egyptian-like war crown called a Khepresh with fake black braids sticking out at the bottom to make it look like his hair, black and gold wristband-like gauntlets, a gold and turquoise armored sleeveless tunic, sometimes mistaken for a dress much to his annoyance, with some small red gems engraved at the armored collar rim, and gold and turquoise armored boots. He is Kahmunrah. And the dark-looking horses they're riding on are pitch black horses made from pitch black sand called Nightmare Sand with pitch black manes, tails, and hooves also made from Nightmare Sand and glowing gold yellow pupil-less eyes. They are the NightMares, Pitch's loyal horse henchmen and army, with Onyx, their female leader, being Pitch's loyal main steed, which Pitch is riding on right now. Upon spotting them, the Hylian Knights got shocked and then determined while the rest of the villains calmly smirked evilly upon spotting the ten villains upon recognizing them)*

Male Hylian Knight 2: Myotismon, Megatron, and their group!

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **The Knights of Hyrule**

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Kyrie Eleison* (Lord have mercy)**

*(The ten villains, the first and fifth villainous figures now revealed to be Myotismon, the leader, and their Dark King besides Ganondorf, and Megatron, the Vehicons and Insecticons' leader and Airachnid's partner, respectively, calmly stopped their NightMares' walks by gently pulling their reins a bit)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **Myotismon's group longed to purge the world**

**Of light and freedom**

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Kyrie Eleison* (Lord have mercy)**

*(Then the thugs, Vehicons, and Insecticons proceeded to capture and tie up the knights in Stasis Ropes, except for Arano and Julia, the latter carrying their babies and male piglet, who just leapt away gracefully during the brief scuffle, in which the captured knights put up a good fight against the enemy. And during this moment, Quackerjack is heard singing in narration below)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **And they seek two of the future Chosen Ones**

**And destroy them and capture an Oracle Piglet**

*(As Myotismon proceeded to give out his order, Arano and Julia, in determination upon recovery, proceeded to destroy a nearby Portable Case for the Stasis Ropes tying up the knights)*

Myotismon: Bring those knights to our castle at once.

Thug 3: (Noticing Arano and Julia successfully destroying the Stasis Ropes' Portable Case) You there!

Lead Vehicon: What are you...?!

*(Then the Stasis Ropes deactivated and the knights broke free from their bindings, resulting them to fight back successfully and escape)*

Hunter J: (To Arano and Julia, sarcastically) Very clever! *(Seriously)* Not!

*(Then after the thugs, Vehicons, and Insecticons were defeated and they retreated by Myotismon's group's "Retreat" gestures due to being outnumbered, as well as the knights retreating to safety by Arano's "Retreat" gesture as well, Myotismon's group then noticed the babies and piglet, now revealed to be the Oracle Piglet, still bundled in their blankets in Julia's arms as she and Arano made their getaway on their horses)*

Myotismon's group: The two Chosen Ones and Oracle Piglet!

Megatron: We mustn't let them get away!

*(Back in the present briefly....)*

Quackerjack: That's when they ran!

*(Back in the past, Arano and Julia, the latter still carrying the bundled Oracle Piglet and her and Arano's bundled babies, were riding on their horses like mad through the Lost Woods, trying to lose Myotismon's group, who also gave chase on their NightMares and Onyx. During all of this, the chorus was heard singing in the background)*

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Dies iræ, dies illa* (Day of wrath, that day)**

***Dies iræ, dies illa* (Day of wrath, that day)**

***Solvet sæclum in favilla* (Shall consume the world in ashes)**

***Teste David cum sibylla* (As prophesied by David and the sibyl)**

***Quantus tremor est futurus* (What trembling is to be)**

***Quando Judex est venturus* (When the Judge is come)**

*(At one point during the chase, Ganondorf noticed something far away in the woods and ushered the rest of Myotismon's group, who noticed as well, to keep going without him before heading off to the mysterious something he spotted. Back at the chase, Arano finally pulled his crossbow out and fired an arrow at Rasputin's cloak's hood, knocking him into the nearby mouth of the Zora River, whose strong currents were pulling him under, much to his panic, causing the villains, along with Ganondorf, who returned from his brief mission with his fingers soaked in a little bit of blood and dispersing some electricity he somehow conjured up, to stop and go back to help Rasputin as Arano and Julia seemed to have made their getaway)*

Rasputin: (Struggling as he is being pulled into the river and Myotismon's group rushed up to aid him) My comrades, help!

*(But before Arano and Julia disappeared deeper into the Lost Woods while the background chorus resumed, Myotismon's group, including Ganondorf and the struggling Rasputin, then pulled out their blasters and fired away at Arano and Julia)*

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Quantus tremor est futurus* (What trembling is to be)**

***Quando Judex est venturus* (When the Judge is come)**

***Dies iræ* (Day of wrath)**

*(Two blasts struck Arano and Julia offscreen, much to their shock and horror as they escaped. With Myotismon's group, they tried to help Rasputin after giving an evil victory smirk before resuming attempted rescue upon seeing Rasputin sinking and being pulled under deeper. But alas, Rasputin was completely pulled under after only his arm and hand remained at the surface before being pulled under as well. With Arano and Julia, they have successfully lost the villains, but to their concern and horror, they checked on themselves upon wincing a bit in pain as they clutched at where they've been shot at)*

Arano: (Groaning a bit) Are we...?

*(He and Julia finally spotted their offscreen bullet wounds and calmly gasped in horror, realizing the imminent doom that will soon befall upon them)*

Arano and Julia: (Gasps, then groaning a bit) Not good!

*(Then, as the chorus resumed up until they vocalized a bit and then finished, they frantically looked around after glancing at the still sleeping Oracle Piglet and their still sleeping babies in concern, until they spot a familiar landmark in the form of a medium-sized twirled bark-styled tree with blooming flowers, much to their relief. Then, in very big pain and whatever strength they have left in them, they quickly climbed off of their horses and ushered them to run without them. Then, again with whatever strength is left in them as they bled a bit and it started to rain like mad, they hurried to another direction nearby the landmark that seemed familiar to them in the form of a beautiful rustic cottage-like farmhouse with a closed-up barn and well nearby it)*

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Solvet sæclum in favilla* (Shall consume the world in ashes)**

***Dies iræ, dies illa* (Day of wrath, that day)**

*(Then on cue as the vocalizations ended, Arano and Julia pounded on the front door in desperation)*

Quackerjack, Arano, and Julia: (Briefly cutting between the past and present as lightning briefly flashed) "Help!"

Quackerjack: (Voice-over, after cutting back to the past) Cried the two desperate knights.

*(Then the door opened, revealing a man and woman who immediately recognized Arano and Julia in shock, confusion, and concern. The man is a young man with slightly tanned skin, short black hair, and wearing a tan short-sleeved shirt, a burnt orange long-sleeved kimono with loose sleeves, dark green neck and sleeve rims, and a dark green obi sash, white stockings, dark green pants, and brown sandals. He is Master Eraqus, an old friend of Arano and Julia's. And the woman is a young woman with white skin, short black chin-length hair, dark brown eyes, and wearing a dark red headband, a white short-sleeved minidress, a dark red long-sleeved kimono with loose sleeves and the top part colored light yellow (With the breasts and sleeves decorated with light blue Pokeball prints), white stockings, and black flipflop sandals. She is Erika, Eraqus' wife, a Grass-type Pokemon Specialist, and another old friend of Arano and Julia's)*

Eraqus: Arano and Julia? You came!

*(Then they see their covered bullet wounds and quickly ushered the two mortally wounded knights inside in concern)*

Erika: (Ushering Arano and Julia inside in a hurry in concern with a concerned Eraqus' assistance) But what happened? Tell us!

*(Then as Arano and Julia collapsed on the floor upon Erika's line, they proceeded to weakly explain away through song as they lay dying)*

Arano: (Weakly) **See here the innocent blood**

**We have spilt**

**From our enemies' inflicted bullet wounds**

Eraqus: (Realizing in shock and concern with Erika) So, Myotismon's group did this to you?

Arano and Julia: (Weakly) Yes.

Julia: (Holding out her sleeping bundled babies and the sleeping bundled Oracle Piglet to Erika) **Now you must add our children and Oracle Piglet**

**Under your care**

**In the Lost Woods of Hyrule**

Erika: (In concern as she accepted the babies and Oracle Piglet gently) Please hang on!

Eraqus: (In concern) You mustn't die!

*(But Arano and Julia, continuing through song, insisted weakly in desperation)*

Arano: (Weakly) **We understand your reluctance and concern**

Julia: (Weakly) **That this responsibility is thrust upon you**

Arano and Julia: (Weakly) **But you must take them in at once**

**And until they are old enough and ready**

**They must not know that they're like us**

**The Royal Knights of Hyrule**

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Kyrie Eleison* (Lord have mercy)**

*(Then as Quackerjack is heard narrating in song, Eraqus and Erika calmly realized in silence that Arano and Julia are right; The two knights are, indeed, dying of their bullet wounds and their infant children and the Oracle Piglet have nowhere else to go and live without them if they died)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **And with this realization in their minds**

**For the sake of the infants and Oracle Piglet**

Chorus: (Voice-over) ***Kyrie Eleison* (Lord have mercy)**

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **Masters Eraqus and Erika felt compelled**

**For they must help their dying friends' cares**

*(On Quackerjack's above song-like narration, another lightning strike was seen and heard from afar. Then Eraqus and Erika were confided silently about who the babies and Oracle Piglet are by the dying Arano and Julia and what was going on when this happened, but we will save that for later. Understanding, Eraqus and Erika accepted)*

Eraqus: We understand.

Erika: And we promise.

Arano and Julia: (Weakly) Thank you....

*(Then silently, Arano and Julia calmly (Sorry, potential Arano and Julia fans....) passed on peacefully, glad to see that their babies and Oracle Piglet will now have a safe new home without them in Eraqus and Erika's home. Then later, after the rain ended, Eraqus and Erika have just buried Arano and Julia's lifeless bodies in respect in their graves and brought in fourteen younger boys, one of them a younger male robot, and a younger girl, and during all of this, Eraqus and Erika's voices were heard speaking, as if they were speaking upon Arano and Julia having just died)*

Eraqus: (Voice-over) We must do Sir Arano and Lady Julia's honor and favor.

Erika: (Voice-over) We shall take their children and Oracle Piglet in, and keep them safe like they wanted.

*(Then we see Eraqus and Erika speaking with the boys and girl)*

Eraqus: (To the younger boys and girl) You all understand, right?

Younger boy 1: Yes, but....

*(But Eraqus gently cuts the first younger boy off in song, as if reassuring him)*

Eraqus: (Gently cutting him off, reassuring him) **Just so they're kept away from the world**

**Until their time to know will come**

*(Understanding now, the boys and girl gave a silent nod. Then Eraqus and Erika, while speaking and then singing, gently laid the sleeping babies and Oracle Piglet in their two extra cribs, one for the babies and the other for the Oracle Piglet)*

Erika: And as for this Oracle Piglet, we must keep his powers hidden as well.

Eraqus: Along with these children, until it is time.

Eraqus and Erika: **Eventually, these two children may**

**Yet prove one day to be**

**The Chosen Ones of Destiny**

*(Then a red and purple cloak flowed across the screen, cutting to the present as Quackerjack continued his story in a more happy dramatic way)*

Quackerjack: And so, Eraqus and Erika raised the piglet and two orphaned children, the latter two named as Pig Keepers; Link and Aryll.

*(Then he flowed the cloak over the screen again, changing it to a shadow puppetry-styled story, revealing Eraqus, Erika, and the boys and girl with them raising and taking care of the Oracle Piglet and babies, the two latters' names now revealed to be Link and Aryll, yet we don't see what they look like yet)*

Quackerjack: (Voice-over) **Now here is a riddle**

**To guess if you can**

**Figure out for the Knights of Hyrule**

**What makes a hero**

**In a boy, like a man?**

Quackerjack and chorus: (Voice-over) **As we sing the Oath, Oath, Oath, Oath (Oath, Oath, Oath, Oath)**

**Oath, Oath, Oath, Oath**

**Of the Knights of Hyrule**

*(As the song came to its conclusion with the above last lyrical part of the song, the shadowy puppetry show ended with the cloth sheet zipping by, revealing a young-looking male figure riding a female horse through a somewhat open forested glen near the cottage on a beautiful day, practicing his combat skills on horseback, hitting some wooden targets, as the chorus' vocalizations were heard singing out loud, concluding the song. Then on cue as the song and background vocalizations ended, the young male figure rode back to the cottage with his female horse, and jumped off her back, landing on his feet gracefully. Then he escorted the female horse back to her stable at the barn as we slowly truck towards the cottage's front door as a brief subtitle slowly appeared and then disappeared)*

13 years later....

*(Inside, Eraqus and Erika are reading old maps as a lazy orange tabby cat named Garfield waited impatiently, apparently hungry. Eraqus is now a 37 year old man with slightly tan skin, jagged scars over his right eye and left cheek inflicted by Master Xehanort, much like the wounds Braig received from Terra, short black shoulder-length hair that is tied into a short high topknot, with one bang falling off to the right side of his face, a short triangular soul patch, and a black skinny mustache, and wearing a white long-sleeved red-lined haori that has a hood, along with it being slightly shorter than normal, a light-colored hakama, a navy blue long-sleeved shirt with a large white X-shaped pattern on the front, a dull blue-green section that covers his abdomen, which sports the same symbol worn by his students near the top, and gold, black, and dull blue-green armored boots. And Erika is now a 35 year old woman still with her short dark blue chin-length hair and dark green eyes, and now wearing a red headband, a small red ribbon on the right side of her breast section, a teal green short-sleeved turtleneck-styled dress with white linings, and red high-heeled shoes. As they read, Eraqus and Erika got concerned and angry calmly as the young male figure started to enter the cottage)*

Eraqus: There's something wrong, Erika....

Erika: I know. And we can't seem to ignore it.... Even the Fairies of the Fairy Realm sense it.

Eraqus: And Myotismon's group, especially Megatron, those black-hearted barbarians!

Erika: My sentiments exactly! And for Megatron's case, that black-Sparked barbarian.

Eraqus: Indeed.

*(Garfield spoke up impatiently)*

Garfield: Any time for my food?

*(Realizing, Eraqus and Erika turned to Garfield)*

Eraqus: Our apologies, Garfield.

Erika: Just lost in thought.

*(Suddenly, she smelled something in the air)*

Erika: Smells like something's burning.

Eraqus: (Unaware and agreeing at first) Yes, some....

*(Then taking a double take, Eraqus and Erika realized and ran to the stove)*

Erika: Something burning?! Oh my Hylia!

Eraqus: Our pupils, come here!

*(They removed a pot full of cooked pig slop and checked it while twenty-one boys, the young male figure being one of them, and two girls, all grown up, arrived in concern.

She is Danielle "Dani" Goldman, Mikey's little sister. Anyway, as they arrived, they looked concerned)*

Link's group: What?! What is it?!

*(Eraqus and Erika turned to them with a firm glare)*

Eraqus: We told you not to leave this pot's side while it's cooking the slop!

*(Realizing, Link's group felt guilty and went over to the pot)*

Comet Tail: Sorry.

Link: We just got lost in thought.

Rodney: Again.

Eraqus: About becoming Hylian Knights again?

Link: Yeah. I mean, what if we became knights too late when the tyranny of Myotismon's group and Megatron ends?

Erika: Link, how many times do we have to tell you? War is not a game.

Eraqus: Erika's right. You, like most people, will get hurt.

Garfield: Or worse, killed.

Erika: (Scoldingly in a gentle fashion) Garfield!

Link: But my sister, friends, and I aren't afraid.

*(He reaches to get the pot, but burned his hand a bit by accident)*

Link: Ouch!

Erika: (Giggling a bit) See? From what all of us see, you'll have a great deal to worry about than just a burnt hand if Myotismon's group ever got their hands on you or Aryll.

Rodney: (Chuckling a bit) Let alone even Megatron trying to get his hands on you.

*(They both chuckled a bit, until Link glared at them, making Erika and Rodney stop chuckling in realization and cleared their throats)*

Rodney and Erika: (Cleared their throats a bit) Sorry.

*(Then Mikey scooped some slop into a bowl that Link picked up)*

Garfield: And I was hoping it was lasagna, not slop.

Eraqus: (Reassuringly) Don't worry, Garfield. Erika and Aryll can make you the most delicious lasagna you'll ever love to eat.

Erika: That's right.

Ashitaka: The type of seasoned lasagna you always loved.

Garfield: Really?

Ashitaka: Yes.

Sora: Never doubt it.

Aryll: And besides, this slop is for Wilbur.

Brick: Wilbur, Wilbur, Wilbur! It's *always* about Wilbur!

*(Eraqus and Erika sternly glared at Brick, making him change his answer)*

Brick: Not that I'm complaining, mind you both.

Link: It's alright, Brick.

Ventus: We love Wilbur, too, very much.

Mikey: I mean, even if we're bored of being Pig Keepers, we can't just make Wilbur starve to death.

Terra: My sentiments exactly.

Eraqus: Those four have a point.

Aryll: Yeah.

*(She and Dani hugged Link and Mikey respectively)*

Aryll: That's what I love about you, Big Brother.

Dani: Ditto for Mikey!

*(Link and Mikey smiled softly and hugged their sisters back)*

Link and Mikey: Thanks, Aryll. (Dani.)

Erika: And one day, if it comes, you'll all understand why this is about taking care of Wilbur.

*(She changed the subject then)*

Erika: Anyway, better get that slop to Wilbur before it gets cold.

Eraqus: And no daydreaming while you're outside doing your work.

Link's group: We won't.

Rumble: (Realizing something) Oh! The rest of our friends and neighbors are coming here, you said.

Eraqus: (Nods in agreement) Yes.

Erika: (Agreeing) Mushu, Cri-Kee, Ember, Wonderbot, and the Dream Eater pets.

Thunderlane: With Ember being our dragon partner.

Soarin: For the Stallion Eight.

Stallion Eight except Soarin: (Agreeing) Yep.

*(They walk out with Link carrying the bowl of slop. Eraqus and Erika then went over to Garfield)*

Erika: Okay. One lasagna, as promised.

Garfield: (Relieved in exasperation) Finally!

*(Outside, Link's group walked over to the pig pen with the bowl of slop still in Link's hand, all the while, passing by some of their farm animal friends they gently petted a bit while passing by, among them two steed-like animals. The first steed-like animal is a male Red Elk with orange fur, a cream underbelly, a pink nose, black eyes, long slate gray antler-like horns on his head, small light gray deer-like hooves, and wearing a pair of red reins. He is Yakul, Ashitaka's loyal best friend and steed. And the last steed-like animal is a female horse with a red coat, a white mane, tail, and markings above her dark gray hooves, a dark gray muzzle, and dark blue eyes. She is Epona, Link's loyal best friend and steed, and the same female horse Link rode on earlier during his combat skills training)*

Butch: (A bit frustrated) I don't understand why Eraqus and Erika treat us, *(Gestures to Link and Aryll)* mostly you two, like babies all the time!

Roxas: We're not babies anymore!

Brick: Tell me about it.

Boomer: Yeah.

Rumble: What we'd give to prove we're grown-up.

Thunderlane: So, you'd rather fight in a dangerous war against a group of evil kings and an evil Decepticon leader than stay safe?

Brick: It wouldn't hurt.

Roxas: But war would.

Aryll: Yet we read every book about them.

Sora: And memorized them.

Riku: Along with every history and lesson book about everything else in this kingdom.

Ashitaka: Which is amazing despite the fact that none of us ever left this farm for the outside world beyond the Lost Woods.

*(At the pig pen, Link placed the bowl in the pen)*

Link: I agree. I share the same dream with you too, but that doesn't mean we should suddenly disobey Eraqus and Erika.

Brick: I know, but I just want to do more than just take care of some...!

*(The others, except Brick, notice a grown male piglet emerge with a curious look. The half-grown male piglet is a male piglet with light pink skin, dark pink ear innards, a dark pink front snout, a small light pink curly tail, small light brown hooves, and blue eyes. He is Wilbur, the same Oracle Piglet from the intro, now a half-grown piglet due to his magical oracular nature he was born as)*

Wilbur: Take care of some what? A pig like me? A special kind of piglet who has a slow growth spurt and special needs?

*(Realizing Wilbur is there, Brick tried to make up something)*

Brick: Oh, no. It was some other pig.

*(Wilbur gave Brick a flat look. Then Brick gave in)*

Brick: All right. Just you.

Rodney: (To Wilbur, reassuringly) And our friends and I are pretty sure Brick here *(Gives Brick a brief stern glare, as if telling Brick to understand and agree)* never meant to say those things like that. *(To Brick, still giving the stern glare)* Right?

Brick: (Realizing and agreeing) Oh! Yes, that's right.

Flash Sentry: (Relieved with a soft smile and a nod) Good.

Wilbur: (Gives an understanding "I forgive you" nod with a reassuring soft smile) Brick, I understand you and your brothers and friends are waiting to become Hylian Knights, but that doesn't mean you should rush to it.

Riku: And besides, you gotta give these things some time.

Braeburn and Roxas: No hurries whatsoever.

*(Remembering the slop, Link changed the subject and points out the slop bowl in Wilbur's pen in front of Wilbur)*

Link: Anyway, Wilbur. We made the slop for you. Eraqus and Erika's orders.

*(Noticing the slop, Wilbur got happy)*

Wilbur: Wow, thanks!

*(He eats some)*

Wilbur: A little crispy, but good.

*(After he finished, Wilbur squeezed himself out of the pen)*

Wilbur: You wanna play with me?

*(Remembering Eraqus and Erika's orders not to daydream about being knights out on the farm during their work, Link's group hesitated)*

Ashitaka: Well....

Rodney: I don't know if we should....

Wilbur: (Reassuringly) I understand Eraqus and Erika said no daydreaming during farmwork out here, but just try to be as quiet about it as possible.

*(A short pause, then Link's group, knowing that Wilbur made a good point on that, happily gave in)*

Link's group: Aw, all right.

Flash Sentry: How can we refuse?

Party Favor: Just so long as we keep quiet?

Rumble and Stallion Eight: Yeah.

Boomer: What game shall we play?

*(After thinking about it, they suddenly got an idea)*

Aryll: I know! How about we role-play a game of war against Myotismon's group and Megatron?

*(Suddenly, they heard a male's voice)*

Male voice: (Voice-over) You forgot us in the game!

*(They turned and saw ten figures arriving, and they recognized them happily. The first figure is a small male Chinese dragon with red scales and a yellow underbelly, dark red claws, blue tiny horns, dark red stubby spikes on his back, yellow whiskers, and a long serpentine-like tail. He is Mushu, a comedic smart-mouthed, but loyal, guardian dragon and Link's group's friend and neighbor, and the one who just spoke. The second figure is a small slender male cricket with purple skin, a lavender face, a blue belly, a navy blue shell that can be used as wings, and black antennae and legs. He is Cri-Kee, Mushu's best friend and partner, a good luck-bringing cricket, and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The third figure is a female baby dragon is a young female dragon with blue scales, dark blue mohawk-like horns on her head, a pale blue underbelly, and red eyes. She is Ember, the Stallion Eight's dragon partner and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The fourth figure is a male tiger-like spirit with gray fur accented by black stripes, a large spherical head with small ears, narrow blue eyes, a white snout, stubby, fingerless limbs, and a stubby tail, and wearing a gold and blue cape that conceals a Spirit sigil on his back and a small pink purse around his neck that bears the Lux emblem. He is Chirithy, the leader of the Dream Eater pets, Ventus' Dream Eater pet, and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The fifth figure is a male lion cub with light auburn fur, beige paws, a brown mane and tuft on his long tail, rounded ears with pink interiors, beige eyelids, one light yellow star on his forehead, another light yellow star on his tail just below the tuft, two white stars on his ear interiors, four beige stars on his legs, a small brown nose, a beige muzzle and underbelly, and light blue eyes. He is Leo the Red Lionstar, Sora's Dream Eater pet and Link's group's other friend and neighbors. The sixth figure is a female wolf pup with silver fur, long bushy tail, triangular ears with white markings and pink interiors, white eyebrows, a big shiny yellow snowflake on her forehead, yellow and cyan stars on her back, yellow and cyan snowflakes on the underside of her tail, a black nose, a white muzzle, legs, neck ruff, underbelly, and underside of her tail, and cyan eyes. She is Winter the Silver Snowpup, Riku's Dream Eater pet and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The seventh figure is a male wolf pup with black fur, a long bushy tail, triangular ears with orange interiors, a yellow crescent moon on his forehead, two yellow stars on his ear interiors, three yellow stars on his back, a black nose, a white muzzle, paws, neck ruff, underbelly, and underside of his tail, mustard yellow eyebrows, and yellow eyes. He is Crescent the Black Pupmoon, Roxas' Dream Eater pet and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The eighth figure is a male fox kit with red fur, brown paws, a long bushy tail with a white tip, triangular brown ears with pink interiors, a dark brown nose, one yellow star on his forehead, three yellow stars on his back, a white muzzle and underbelly, and slanted dark teal green eyes. He is Lucas the Red Foxstar, Terra's Dream Eater pet and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. The ninth figure is a male otter pup with peach fur, brown paws, a brown tip on his long tail, rounded ears with brown interiors, a light yellow star on his forehead, five light yellow and orange stars on his back, a small brown nose, a white muzzle, neck ruff, and underbelly, rosy cheeks, and deep violet eyes. He is Flippy the Orange Otterstar, Ventus' other Dream Eater pet and Link's group's other friend and neighbor. And the last figure is a small male sentient machine with four kitchen spoons on the top of his head, which he uses like the blades on a helicopter to help him fly, a large cup-made head with two blue cute mechanical eyes peeking out from underneath, a small fragile neck with a tiny body protected by a small bowl like it's his torso-styled armor, and three thin and long silver wiry limbs which can be used as his arms and hands, as well as create pictures for visual communication. He is Wonderbot, Rodney's pet robot helper and best friend and Link's group's other friend and neighbor)*

Link: (Sheepishly) Oops. Sorry, Mushu, guys.

Ember: It's alright.

Mushu: Yeah, it's cool.

*(Mushu's group walks up to them. Later, the farm animals, except the interested Epona and Yakul, watched with boredom, watching Link's group playing their game, being as quiet as possible as Wilbur suggested)*

Aryll: (Playing a damsel-in-distress with a smile) Save me, Big Brother!

Brick: (Pretends to laugh evilly a bit while playing as a bad guy) You'll never save your sister, boy!

Boomer and Butch: (Playing two other bad guys) That's right!

*(Link, Rodney, and Ashitaka jumped in front of them, wielding their own wooden toy sword and toy shield and wooden practice bo staff)*

Link: Oh, yeah?!

Rodney: Try us, Myotismon, Ganondorf, and Megatron!

Ashitaka: You and the rest of Myotismon's group will never get away with this!

Rodney: That's right!

*(Link turned to Wilbur)*

Link: Look at me, Wilbur! I can do it!

Wilbur: (Giggles a bit, then plays along) Go get them with your group, Link! Save Aryll!

*(Wonderbot then played along by squeaking a battle's bugle fanfare for a bit. After putting Aryll down, the Rowdyruff Boys then play dueled with Link's group)*

Link: Take that!

Rodney: And that!

*(Then he, Rodney, and Mikey pretended to stab their respective Rowdyruff Boy once they caught all three Rowdyruff Boys offguard)*

Rowdyruff Boys: (Pretending to die) Oooohhhhh!!!!

Brick: (Pretending to die) Curse you, Link's group!

Boomer and Butch: (Pretending) Farewell, cruel world!

*(They fall and pretend to die. The "Good guys" then cheered)*

Aryll: My big brother a hero!

Link: Thank you, thank you.

*(Impressed, the farm animals, including Epona and Yakul who did this a bit calmly, then made noises as if applauding and cheering. Then Link's group bowed as if it were a play)*

Butch: We sure won the audience over.

Brick: Word!

Mushu: (Boastingly) Thank you, thank you! If it weren't for my buddies....

*(During Mushu's line, Link's group then started to head to the cottage while Wilbur got ready to head back into his pen when suddenly, Mushu, Ember, Chirithy, Flippy, and Wonderbot, on cue of Mushu's line being cut off, tripped on a nearby rake and stumbled onto Link's group and even Wilbur, making them roll into a mud puddle, making the farm animals "Chuckle" a bit, except for Epona and Yakul who just gave a wince reaction out of calm concern, that is)*

Pokey Pierce: (Sarcastically, while he, Link's group, and Wilbur recovered in the mud puddle and flings some mud off of himself) Great! Hyrule's greatest "Hero" and his friends are dirty!

*(Wilbur shook some mud off of himself while Epona and Yakul walked up to Link's group and gently nuzzled Link and Ashitaka respectively a bit, resulting Link and Ashitaka to accept it gently with soft smiles by gently petting them respectively)*

Link: Thanks, Epona.

Ashitaka: I'm glad you and Epona care for us, Yakul.

Rodney: (Eyes Wilbur with a soft smile in agreement) Along with Wilbur.

Wilbur: (Nods in agreement as he and Link's group smiled softly) Indeed. And it's alright. It's just mud.

Ember: Sorry.

Chirithy: Didn't mean to trip us.

Ashitaka: (Gently pets Yakul back for a bit) It's fine.

Link: (Gently pets Epona back for a bit) Despite that we're a bit muddy.

Aryll: But what matters most is none of us are hurt.

*(Link's group nods with a smile and a brief chuckle. Suddenly, they snapped out of it upon noticing Eraqus and Erika standing over them, looking a little impatient in a calm fashion)*

Link's group: Masters Eraqus and Erika!

Eraqus: (Scoffs lightly) Not quite the blade for a hero, huh, Erika?

Erika: Nope.

*(They helped Link's group up while the animal partners helped themselves and Wilbur up with Epona and Yakul backing off gently)*

Link: Sorry.

Rodney: We just got dirty.

Erika: While daydreaming again.

*(Link's group and even Wilbur winced a bit in guilt and embarrassment, realizing that they were being too loud instead of their intended being quiet on their role-play. Later, after washing themselves off and cleaning their clothes, Link's group sat down with Eraqus and Erika along with Mushu's group and Wilbur, eating lunch after Epona and Yakul were returned to their stables)*

Link: Masters, when will Aryll, our friends, and I ever be anything other than Pig Keepers?

Eraqus: When you're hopefully older.

Erika: So, for now, all in good time.

*(Curious and confused, Link and Aryll asked away)*

Link and Aryll: "Older?"

*(Eraqus, Erika, and even the rest of Link's group just remained quiet after Eraqus and Erika cleared their throats and walked back inside)*

Link: What do you mean "Older?"

*(Eraqus and Erika turned to them with reassuring soft smiles)*

Erika: It means that when you're older, you'll understand.

Aryll: Why now?

Eraqus: (Reassuringly) Because you wouldn't bear it today. *(Softly with a calm solemn look)* Erika and I should know.

*(Then he and Erika began singing)*

Eraqus: **The world is new**

Erika: **The world is dangerous**

Eraqus and Erika: **It's us alone who you must trust within these woods**

Erika: **We are the only dependable ones**

**Us who keep you, teach you, feed you, dress you**

Eraqus: **Us who look after you for your late parents**

**Yet how can we protect you two, unless you always**

Eraqus and Erika: **Stay right here**

**Away right here?**

*(Then they go upstairs to Link's group's room as they continued)*

Eraqus: Remember what we've told you and Aryll, Link.

*(Then they recapped everything Eraqus and Erika told Link about himself and Aryll being too young to be ready for the world before)*

Eraqus: **You are too young**

Link: **We are too young**

Erika: **And you're not ready**

Link: **And we're not ready**

Eraqus: **And that world out there is full of dangers besides beauty**

Erika: **Yet you can still dream secretly at times**

Link: (Nods in agreement) **You are mine and Aryll's only family**

Eraqus: **Out there, there are villains, wild animals, and monsters**

Link: **That is definitely true**

Erika: **Out there, they will unfortunately try to kill, hunt, or eat you**

Link: **When defenseless**

Erika: **Why bother going out there unready and defenseless?**

Eraqus: **Please just stay right here**

Eraqus and Erika: **Be faithful to us**

Link: **And we're faithful**

Eraqus and Erika: **And you will soon understand**

Link: **We understand, Masters**

Eraqus: **Until you are ready**

Erika: **Just obey**

Link, Eraqus, and Erika: (With Link giving a confirmation nod with his group) **We'll (And) stay right here**

*(The song over, Link and his group understood)*

Link: (To himself) Older.... *(To Eraqus and Erika)* We understand, Masters.

*(Link's group, Wilbur, Eraqus, and Erika smiled softly, glad to have gotten this over with easily again. Then as Eraqus and Erika were about to walk downstairs from Link's group's room, they stopped, turning to Link's group and Wilbur with soft smiles)*

Erika: And since we're inside and you're off-duty now....

Eraqus: Proceed with your daydreaming as you wish while cleaning your room up.

Erika: Just so long as it's....

Link's group, Wilbur, Eraqus, and Erika: (With Link's group and Wilbur giving a nod in an understanding way with soft smiles) Not outside.

*(Then Eraqus and Erika go downstairs, leaving Link's group and Wilbur alone in Link's group's room. Then, Link smiled softly and, while helping Aryll, Wilbur, and the rest of Link's group organize their collection of history and lesson books and cleaning the room up, sang his heart out as they, at some points, pretend fight gently like they're knights as they cleaned)*

Link: **Safe within these woods and those stables made of wood**

**Gazing at the blue sky up above us**

**All our life, we hope that we would become something different**

**Hungry for the adventures that await us**

**All our life, we memorize the Hylian Knight code**

**Knowing them as they will never know us**

**All our life, we wonder how it feels to pass a day**

**Not as some Pig Keepers**

**But part of Hylian Knighthood**

**And out there**

**Living like heroes**

**Give us one day out there**

**All we ask is one**

**To hold forever**

**Out there**

**Where they all live big and wisely**

**What we'd give**

**What we'd dare**

**Just to be heroes out there**

**Out there, among the royalty and their servants and their people**

**Beyond these woods, we can be with them**

**Every day, they shout and bark out orders all their lives**

**Heedless of the gift it is to be them**

**If we were in their skin**

**We'd treasure every instant**

**Out there**

**Marching by the palace walls**

**Taste a morning out there**

**Like any Hylian Knight**

**Who freely walk about there**

**Just one day and then**

**We swear we'll be content**

**With our share**

**Won't resent**

**Won't despair**

**Young, but hopeful**

**We won't care**

**We'll be like them, one day** **out there**

*(After finishing singing, Link sighed in relief, having finished cleaning the room along with Aryll, Wilbur, and the rest of Link's group. Then Wilbur looked at Link with a soft reassuring smile)*

Wilbur: Someday, Link. You and your sister and friends' dreams *will* come true in time.

Link: Thanks, Wilbur.

*(Then Eraqus and Erika returned)*

Eraqus and Erika: Our pupils, we....

*(They suddenly saw how clean the room is and got impressed)*

Erika: (Impressed) Wow....

Eraqus: (Impressed) You certainly did well cleaning up this room.

Link's group and Wilbur: (Feeling proud and happy for themselves) Thank you.

Thunderlane: But other than that, what is it you came in here for?

Rumble: What's up?

*(Remembering, Eraqus and Erika explained away)*

Eraqus: Well, we came up here because we realized that you forgotten to give Wilbur a bath.

Erika: But since he's a little dirty from the dirt in this room you cleaned up, that makes it easier.

Link's group: (Smiling softly in agreement) You got it, Masters.

Wilbur: (Happily) I love baths!

*(Once outside, Link's group and Wilbur arrived at a nearby trough-like bathtub. After Link's group washed some of their sweat off of their own faces with some water from a nearby washing barrel, they then placed Wilbur in his tub and proceeded to give him his bath, much to Wilbur's peaceful enjoyment.* *Suddenly, he sensed something and began panting calmly and then squealing like crazy, as if spooked by something. Link's group noticed and tried to calm him in concern)*

Link and Ventus: Wilbur?

Aryll: What's wrong, something bad?

Brick: Easy there!

Caramel: Stop!

*(Eraqus and Erika ran out in concern, having heard Wilbur's loud squealing panic attack episode)*

Eraqus: What happened to Wilbur?

Erika: What's going on?

Link: Wilbur's acting crazy suddenly!

Butch: Yeah!

Sora: As if panicking for some reason!

*(Wilbur suddenly exclaimed)*

Wilbur: Kings and Queens of Evil, evil artifact, undead!

*(Hearing those words, Eraqus and Erika, along with Link's group, except for the confused and concerned Link and Aryll, got concerned and ushered everyone inside)*

Rodney: Come on!

Eraqus: Get inside!

Link and Aryll: (Suddenly confused and concerned even more) Why?

Erika: Just do it!

Ashitaka: Hurry!

*(Link's group, without a moment's hesitation to argue on what's going on, then quickly did what Eraqus, Erika, and even Ashitaka and Rodney said, carrying a still panicking Wilbur in concern)*

***Coming up: Wilbur, once calmed down, reveals his magical abilities to see the future, much to Link's group's, mostly Link and Aryll's, interest. Then realizing that a group of certain Kings and Queens of Evil and their army are searching for Wilbur to find a certain evil artifact containing a certain evil spirit of a deceased old evil king, Eraqus and Erika send Link's group to take Wilbur to shelter where he'll be safe. Later, at the same time, a small group belonging to the said certain Kings and Queens of Evil, along with their army convoy, get ambushed by a certain pack of animal gods and animalistic-like robot creatures, among the said pack two human-like figures.***
