Rain was pouring down as lightning filled the skies. The castle drawbridge opened slowly as two mares came racing out, as though being chased.
One of the mares was the young princess of Equestria, princess Twilight, and the other mare was her attendant, Luna.
Then he stepped out into the night. There he was, the king of evil, known as King Sombra.
"..... really depend on such a lazy boy?"
Rainbow Dash slowly awoke from her nightmare to see a tiny light blue fairy hovering right in front of her.
Rainbow was amazed at the sight of the tiny little fairy, as the filly has never had one of her own.
"You've finally woken up!" The blue fairy exclaimed.
"I'm Navi the fairy! The Great Deku Tree said we would be partners from now on! Nice to meet you!"
"Oh, um, nice to meet you too!" Rainbow Dash mumbled kindly.
Navi rushed towards the door in a hurry.
"The Great Deku Tree has summoned you, so we need to get going, right now!"
Rainbow Dash nodded and slowly got out of bed. As she walked outside, she saw her friend Fluttershy standing right in front of
her treehouse.
"Hi Rainbow Dash!" she said while waving at her.
" I see you've finally got a fairy! I am so happy for you!"
Rainbow Dash grinned.
"Thanks Fluttershy!" she said. "The Great Deku Tree has summoned me, so I have to get going soon."
"Oh, Really? Thats wonderful! Well, I know you must be in a hurry, so i'll let you be on your way now! Bye Rainbow Dash!"
Rainbow bid her farewell and departed for the Great Deku Tree.
When Navi and Rainbow got to the entrance of the pathway to the tree, they were stopped by Dumb-Bell, who was guarding the path.
"Hey, Ms. no fairy!
What business do you have with the Great Deku Tree, Rainbow?" He sneered. "You don't even have a fairy yet! Ha! He snickered.
Without a fairy, you're not even a real mare!"
Then he realized that Rainbow Dash already had a fairy.
"What!?" he shouted in pure disbelief. "You already have a fairy?!? And the Great Deku Tree actually summoned you!?! How?!?"
The young colt was at a loss for words. He simply couldn't figure out why the Deku Tree would summon Rainbow Dash instead of him.
Dumb-Bell was furious. "I don't get it, I mean, you're not even fully equipped yet!" He shrieked.
"How in Equestria do you think you could help the Deku Tree without a sword and shield!?
What? You're right. I don't have any equipment ready either, but.....
if you want to pass through here, you need a sword and shield ready!" He barked.
"Sheesh!"
Rainbow Dash groaned. "All right. Fine. I get it!" With that, she trotted away in search of a sword and shield.
Once she had gathered enough rupees in the grass and behind buildings to buy a Deku Shield, she wandered around the village in search for a sword.
When Rainbow went up to talk to a colt sitting on a hill about finding a sword, Navi pointed out that there was a mysterious hole just big enough for Rainbow to fit through.
Once they had crawled through the hole, they saw a a few pathways to go through.
When they approached the entrance to it, a big boulder came just inches away from Rainbow's muzzle.
"Watch out!" Navi yelled, as Dashie backed away, startled.
"You have to be more careful, and watch where you're going!"
Rainbow sighed. "Okay Navi. Sorry. Now, let's see if we can find the sword in here."
She trotted on warily and was on the lookout to avoid being hit by the boulders.
Then, at the end of one of the paths, she found a big treasure chest.
"Open it! The sword is probably inside!" Navi yelled excitedly.
Rainbow Dash started to open the chest and luckily found the hidden treasure of the Koriki, the Koriki Sword!
The Pair then exited out of the maze cautiously and made their way back to Dumb-Bell.
When the two got back to Dumb-Bell, fully equipped and ready, Dumb-Bell said, "If you want to see the Great Deku Tree, you should at least equip a sword and shield.
Eh, whats that?" He asked to no one in particular.
"Oh, you already have a Deku Shield......." He said, gloomily.
"And whats THAT?" He shouted in disbelief.
"Isn't that the Koriki Sword?!? GOOD GRIEF!!!"
Dumb-Bell couldn't believe his eyes.
"How in Equestria did you get that!? I can't believe this! Well, even with all that stuff, a wimp is still a wimp.
I still will never accept you as one of us Koriki."
Dumb-Bell stopped for a moment and frowned before continuing.
"Shoot! How did you get to be a favorite of Fluttershy and the Great Deku Tree? Huh?" He grumbled.
And with that, he finally got out of the way and let Rainbow Dash through to the grove of the Great Deku Tree.
