The Power of Five

Becky and the five Links were inside, sitting round the table, each with a drink infront of them. They were explaining to Becky what had happened to them.

"...so then we got our elements but then got some trouble. We called out for help and you came and saved us." Green explained.

"Wow. That's a lot to go through." Becky said, "You're very brave and strong-willed, especially at your age. It's astounding."

Red smiled, "We all try our hardest!"

Blue smirked, "We don't give up that easily!"

Becky laughed to herself, "You must be asked if you're quintuplets a lot, huh?"

"Three times." they said together.

"We can't look that much alike, surely!" Green said.

"You'd be surprised." Becky said, "Does your father know about any of this, Green?"

His eyes widened, "Not...really..I never really told him anything about us. My mind's been too wrapped up in everything else..I...never really thought about him..." His head perked up, "Do you think he still remembers me after this long?"

"Of course Green, you're his son." Becky replied, "All of a sudden, you just disappeared from him. It's been a week, he must be worried sick about you."

Green paused, "...We....We have to get back to Hyrule as soon as we can!"
-------------------- -------------------
With their swords, the Links were cutting down several of the trees. They also cut the branches off so that they became clean logs.

Vio formed long vines from his hands so they could tie the logs together to make a raft. They also made a 'H' shape out of three logs, to make a mast, which they secured into the middle of the raft.

Becky walked out to them with a large, white blanket folded in her arms.

"Hey, guys. I got you a sail."

"Huh?" They turned round to her.

She handed the blanket to Green.

"Are you sure it's OK to give this to us?" Green asked.

Becky smiled, "Don't worry, I'm sure. I've got plenty spare anyway. Besides, what else would you use for a sail to get back to Hyrule?"

Green smiled, "Thanks a lot!"

Their sail was attached to the mast of their raft. They pushed it onto the water as it succesfully floated. They got on the raft as it easily supported their weight. They turned to Becky, who was re-planting the seeds of trees that had been chopped down.

"Thanks for everything, Becky-sama." Green said to her, "You were a really big help."

She smiled, "Just stay safe on your way."

"We will." Green nodded.

Green held his hand up and waved it in the direction they needed to go. A strong wind suddenly picked up and blew into the sail, sending them forwards. Just before the raft shot off, Blue jumped off it and back onto the island.

The others waved, "Bye, Becky-sama!"

Vio perked up, "Someone missing?"

Greens' head perked up, "Eh?"

"Blue-kuuuun!!" Red yelled out.

"Huh? Aren't you going, Blue?" Becky asked.

Blue turned his head to her, "Thanks again, Becky-sama. Especially for teaching me that easy clean-folding technique!"

"Eh..no problem!"

Blue took a couple of steps back, then ran and jumped onto the sea. He surfed on the water as he sent his element power energy to his feet.

"Wow! How cool!!" Red exclaimed.

Green pouted, "Show off."

Blue surfed by the side of their raft as it sailed.

Blue winked, "Heheh! Thought you lost me, didn't ya!"

"You'll get tired eventually!" Green said, "Surely you can't surf all the way to Hyrule. It's way far over the horizon!"

Blue smirked, "Alright.."

Blue jumped off the water and onto the raft.

"Wow, you actually agreed with something I said for once." Green said.

"That's not it! I just don't wanna waste my energy!"

"Oh, yeah! Because that looked like you were working hard! Not enjoying yourself at all!"

"What about you?! That must've been exhausting when you flew up into the sky!"

Green and Blue began bringing their faces closer to each others' as they stared into each others' eyes in conflict.

"Yeah, it was!"

"Yeah?!"

"Yeah!!"

With this, Green and Blue carried on with one of their pointless arguments.

Vio sat down by the mast and Shadow happily joined him. Vio wrapped his arms around Shadow who closed his eyes and rested his head on Vios' chest as he quickly drifted asleep. Vio looked down to him and smiled.

"You two make a really cute couple!"

Vio blushed slightly, "Huh?"

"You're so perfect for each other!"

Vio turned his head and saw Red right beside him.

"Uh...hey, Red!"

"Apart from Blue-kun and me, yours is the strongest love I've ever seen! He's always the first you think of, and you're always with him!"

"Eheheh...just to be with him makes me happy...I like it when it's just him and me, y'know?"

"You two should go on a date!"

"Huh? A date?"

"Yeah! A night where you can be away from everyone and just be with each other! It's so romantic!"

Vio looked down to Shadow and stroked his hair gently with his fingers.

"Yeah..that'll be nice.."

"Then it's settled! The next free night you have, you're going on a date with Shadow!"

Vio smiled and blushed slightly, "I look forward to it!"

"If only Blue-kun would ask me out on a date too..but he's too shy to.."

Vio and Red looked up to Green and Blue who were still within their argument.

"You're wrong, Green! The tides will stay completely calm!"

"No way! If the moon suddenly disappears, the tides will all come in!"

"Trust me, Green. I am the holder of the water element, so I must be right!"

Green sighed, "Yeah, right.."
-------------------- --------------------
It started to come to the afternoon. Green and Blue had finally settled down as they were too hungry to argue.

Shadow slowly opened his eyes and looked up to Vio, "..Vio-kun..."

Vio looked down to him and smiled, "Shadow-Chan.."

Shadow sat up and stretched his arms out.

He turned to Vio, "How much further is it?"

"It shouldn't be long now." Vio pointed ahead of him, "Death Mountain can be seen on the horizon."

"Alright!"

Vio looked to the sea behind him, "We sure have gone a long way."

"I...never really thought about him...Do you think he still remembers me after this long?"

"Of course Green, you're his son."

Vios' eyes widened, "My father..!"

The others turned their heads to him.

"It's been..almost two weeks..." Vio leaned his hand on his forehead and paused, "Do you think...I just suddenly disappeared..?"

"Vio-kun.."

Vio shut his eyes, "I missed it...I missed my only chance of seeing him again!"

"That's not true!" Green said.

"Huh?" Vio raised his head to him.

"When all this is over. When we've dealt with Ganondorf, and when we've been tested of being the holders of the elements..we'll find a way to go back to Strong Will."

Green smiled and held his hand out to him. Vio paused, then wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve and held onto Greens' hand.

A small, purple Octo came out of the water and happily splashed about. It turned around and suddenly got hit by the Links' sailing raft. It came back out of the water with a big bump on its' head and a pissed off expression. It shot an ink bullet at them before going back into the water.

As the Links sailed on, they were getting closer to Hyrule. A sudden strong wind blew at them from the left, diverting them away from Hyrule. The Links kept low-down on their raft to avoid being blown off.

"Green! Cut the wind off!" Blue instructed.

"Right!" Green sat up.

He looked behind him to the sea and held his hand up. The ink bullet came at him and hit him on his head, slightly above his left eye.

"Yaaah!" Green fell back down, unconscious, on the raft.

"Green!!"

The others came closer to Green. Vio held his head and kept his other arm around him to protect him.

Vio looked at his wound, which showed a dark purple, scab-like marking, where it hit. It looked like it slowly spreading itself.

"He's got a bad wound. We need to get him to land quick!" Vio instructed.

Red pointed ahead, "We're heading for a forest!"

The raft shot toward it, "Waaaaaah!!"
