There's the next chapter!

I still didn't get that many reviews... But thank god it's the last part of covering all of the Links! I hope that when the real adventure begins, things will about to change!

One last note: The reason I won't add the Four Swords heroes is because Four Swords is the only Zelda game I haven't played. I only know this game's items.

Anyways, enjoy! ;)

(PS: only 20 reviews... But thanks a lot for TheWhiteKnight2K16 for favoring/following me and this story!)

Chapter 14: The Triforce Heroes at the Pirate Stronghold

"Urrgghh…Emerald! Get OFF ME!" we could hear a very grumpy Ruby groaning under Emerald's weight.

"Okay! Okay! Geez!" Emerald growled and rolled off from Ruby's back.

"Guys, I don't mean to interrupt your…arguing or something, but look around us!" Sapphire interfered. Ruby and Emerald stopped arguing and looked around them.

They were standing at the Pirate Stronghold; a large stronghold shaped like a ship. Its entrance was closed, and 'teeth' things are clamped shut at the entrance.

"What in the world…?" Emerald was stunned.

"How did we even end up here?" Ruby asked no one.

"The only thing I seem to recall was a flash of light and that we were caught into some sort of tornado, which must of have sent us here." Sapphire said.

"Whatever this place is, we're not even going to find an entrance to this place. I'm out of here." Ruby said coldly, closed his eyes and walked towards the pier.

"Ruby, WAIT!" Emerald called out. Ruby opened his eyes, and noticed the sandy sea up ahead.

"Huh?! What the heck?!" Ruby never expected to find a sand sea at this place.

"I don't get it; how come there's a sand sea in Hytopia?" Sapphire pondered.

"Dang, how I wish I've had the Dunewalker Duds…" Ruby sighed in regret.

"Or perhaps we're not in Hytopia at all…" Emerald guessed.

"And how do you know that?" Ruby asked, walking back to where the green and blue heroes were.

"Well, I mean, just look at this place! There's a sandy sea, a strange stronghold and a bunch of enemies that are just plain different than the ones we know! At least, that's what I figure." Emerald said.

"That's quite obvious if you ask me." Ruby rolled his eyes.

"So if we can't leave this area, where is the entrance to this stronghold?" Sapphire wondered.

"We better go over there so that we can find out the entrance. There's got to be an alternate entrance here, I know it." Emerald said.

The Triforce Heroes went towards the stronghold and fought some Yellow Chuchus and Keese. Ruby decided to take a closer look at the closed entrance.

"I wonder what those teeth things are?" he wondered. But he didn't notice the sinksand bellow him.

"Ruby, watch out for the sinksand!" Sapphire warned.

"Whoa!" Ruby gasped in shock; he almost stepped on the sinksand. "Now I REALLY wished I had the Dunewalker Duds with me…"

"Hey, guys! I found the entrance! Down here!" Emerald called for them. Sapphire and Ruby went to where Emerald was. He was standing in front of a door.

They all nodded to each other before opening the door, leading them inside the Pirate Stronghold.

The stronghold had lit up torches on the walls and a circular room up ahead.

"Whoa, this feels like a temple…" Sapphire said impressed.

"Yeah, but this place looks too old." Ruby commented.

"Hey, there's something over there." Emerald said and rushed to the circular room. Sapphire and Ruby followed him. "It looks like some sort of device…"

"I can see that something is supposed to be held in this holder. I wonder what?" Sapphire thought.

"Anyways, guys I just found a door right there. It's the only way to go for now." Ruby said, pointing to a door at the far right.

"Alright, let's go there." Emerald said and the three went through the door.

The door led them to a corridor. At the end of the corridor were two Lizardfoses. The heroes fought and defeated them, and a cage blocking the other corridor entrance rose up.

On the next room was a chamber containing a very special Timeshift Stone; it was a Timeshift Orb.

"What is that thing?" Ruby wondered.

"I don't know. I'll just pick it up." Emerald said as he approaches the Orb and lifts it.

"That holder looks similar to the one we saw at the entrance! I think we're supposed to carry this thing back to the first room." Sapphire pointed out.

"I bet you're right. I'll hold on to it, you guys protect me from the enemies." Emerald said.

"So it's just like the 'carry the pot' mission?! Oh, come on! I hate this mission so much…" Ruby growled under his breath.

"Well the only good thing is that this thing doesn't seem to break." Sapphire shrugged.

"Yes, now let's go." Emerald said as they proceeded into the corridor.

For their surprise, the limit of the time-shift from the orb made the spikes on the hall disappear.

"Whoa, what just happened?" Ruby was astonished.

"That orb made the spikes vanish!" Sapphire was impressed.

"Really? Sweet! Looks like we just found an orb that can clear anything in our way!" Emerald exclaimed.

"Not only that, but it also changes the colors of this area too!" Sapphire said, looking around and seeing that the limit of the time-shift makes the stronghold from old and dusty to vivid and mechanized.

They continued proceeding into the corridor, eventually taking them to another room. They saw some strange skeletons on the ground.

"Hmm? Looks like someone just died here." Ruby said, examining the skeletons.

"Really? What are you- WAH!" as Emerald walked forward to the skeletons, all of a sudden, a Technoblin appears right where the skeletons used to be. Ruby also startled. The Technoblin leads out a scream and activates his mechanized club.

"Did you just… Resurrect him?!" Sapphire questioned.

"Whatever! Just take him out quickly!" Emerald shouted. Ruby and Sapphire teamed up to defeat the Technoblin.

"Okay, something about that orb seems weird…" Ruby pointed out.

"You're right, Ruby. If that orb can change the area and resurrects skeletons that means…" Sapphire pondered.

"What?" Emerald and Ruby said in unison.

"…that this orb can like, change the area like how it was in the past or something!" Sapphire finished.

"What?!" Ruby was shocked.

"That makes sense. We better be careful then. Let's move." Emerald said. The three heroes continued.

After dissipating another wall of spikes, they came upon another room with a broken-down Beamos.

"All right, guys. I'm going to resurrect that robot right there. Get your swords ready." Emerald warned.

"We're ready." Ruby said.

Emerald then approaches the Beamos so that the limit of the time-shifted area touches it. Just as expected, the Beamos gets resurrected, and as soon as it saw the heroes, it shoots a laser beam at them, but they dodged it. Sapphire and Ruby arranged in a totem and Ruby slashed the Beamos' 'body'. Sapphire throws Ruby and delivers a stab at the Beamos' 'eye', causing it to explode. The passage that was blocked by the Beamos was now open.

After passing through an arch, they found themselves in a room filled with sand, but the time-shift area transforms the sand into solid ground.

"It's so much easier to travel to this area with this orb." Ruby smirked.

They went down the ramp, when suddenly a platform appears from the ground in front of them.

"Whoa!" Emerald startled.

"How in the world did that pool of sand cover this huge platform?!" Ruby questioned.

"I don't know. Even I don't understand those time-travel logics." Sapphire shrugged.

"I guess we'll have to go from above, then." Emerald concluded. They went back to the ramp and jumped on the platforms as they were emerging from the ground, giving them access to the next room.

On the other side, was an Iron Gate and a passage way.

"I wonder what's over that passage?" Emerald wondered. But as he went through the passage, a laser barrier appeared. He guessed that it's the effect of the time-shift.

"Guys, I can't go that way. But I did see a switch over there. I think I'll have to stay as further as possible from this passage, but with the past-part or whatever touching that switch, so that you can activate it." Emerald said.

Sapphire and Ruby made their way to the passage while Emerald moved away from where the lasers used to be, and got the time-shift area as closely to the switch so that the blue and red heroes could pull the switch. Upon doing that, the Iron Gate rises up, and Emerald was able to pass through.

They reached another room filled with sand. Just like last time, the time-shift turns the sand into solid ground and more platforms rose up. But this time, the passage is located down, so the heroes didn't have to go from above, but instead they'll have to fight Deku Babas.

They made to the passageway, where they had to fight more Deku Babas and also Quadro Babas, not to count the Technoblins of course. They also encountered some Electric Spumes in the sand up ahead too.

In this room, there was another Iron Gate blocking the other room and a passage leading to laser barriers. There was a switch and a block. The heroes did the same strategy as before with the other switch, and eventually, the Iron Gate lifts up. The heroes proceeded to the next room.

They went on two mechanized rooms, fighting more enemies that were resurrected by the time-shift effect: Beamoses and Armoses.

Finally, after defeating the Armoses, they were back at the first room where they came from at the beginning.

"Finally, we made it! I was getting tired of this!" Ruby sighed in relief.

"Let's place the orb here and see what happens." Emerald said as he approaches the holder.

"It better be something good; all of this work must have a prize." Ruby commented.

Emerald places the Timeshift Orb at the holder. Eventually, the 'jaws' that were shut from outside began to open. A door that was sealed with bars from the inside where the heroes were opens up.

"I think it did something good." Emerald said.

"That door over there is now accessible. We should go there." Sapphire suggested. They all nodded and went outside.

Now that we all know what happened to the different heroes, we're now able to go back to the Goddess's Chosen Hero's story. Will he ever meet these other heroes that came further away from his era? Only his fate will tell…

To be continued…

I chose the Triforce Heroes to land on the Mini-Dungeon Pirate Stronghold because its layout is very similar to the areas in Triforce Heroes. Also, nothing more than a little teamwork in this mini-dungeon for our heroes, right? I also tried to add some humor in this chapter as well. The personalities I chose for each of the heroes are based on each part of the Triforce: Green/Emerald for courage, being the most motivated and courageous, Blue/Sapphire for wisdom, being the most unsure and collected, and Red/Ruby for power, being the most focused and sometimes, aggressive.

Now that I finally covered all of the Links, the next chapter is where the REAL adventure begins for SS Link's story!
