The vision she had just witnessed was greatly troubling,Who was the dark figure? she did not know, but she would keep it to herself for now. Something more troubling than the vision however, was that Zelda knew about the Virtues. Was the prophecy the ice dragons told Dinjigon long ago coming true, that SHE would rise again?
When Elements unite with a power untold
Only Virtue can be the mold
And when the connections between them are broken
Then shall be released
Uniova's Token.
The prophecy was still firmly stuck in her head since she first heard it spoken, there was always the mystery of who Uniova was. Secondly, was the untold power the legendary Triforce that Vaati kept talking about? Her questions would have to wait until later, for Pinkie had apparently been talking to Navi about a party, and Vaati had volunteered the Palace of Winds since Link was his former rival and all.
Later, before the party, Icicle Chill was going up to the palace to have his monthly visit with the sorcerer. As he approached the front door, Maulgrim and Nigellas were standing guard. "Hey guys, what's up? Something going on?"
"Yes indeed," Nigellas said looking agitated, "Pinkie's having a welcoming party for Link, and the other monsters are still scared out of their wits about him. Now master Vaati has to talk some sense into them before the party starts."
"Who's Link?" Icicle asked curiously, "Is he the Hero Vaati told everypony about?"
Maulgrim answered, "Aye. The Hero of Time, the only swordsman I have ever challenged that hath beaten me at my own game. I wonder if he even remembers me."
"Really?" Icicle responded, "Must be quite the swordsman, to defeat the great Maulgrim."
"Yes indeed, Though there are far greater things than I that he hath felled in only three blows. In any case, you are welcome inside."
The two then opened the door and allowed Icicle passage. Once inside, he scanned the area for the wind mage, with no success. However, he knew just what was coming in two seconds.
"Hi Icicle!" Pinkie said as she jumped out of seemingly nowhere, "How are you doing today?"
Icicle responded calmly saying, "I am quite well today, Pinkie, how about you?"
"I'm good," Pinkie happily replied, "did you come for the party?"
"Not quite," Icicle answered, "but since I'm here I might as well enjoy whatever you have planned."
"gasp, I still have things to plan!" Pinkie exclaimed, suddenly vanishing in a puff of smoke.
Now that Pinkie was gone Icicle could relax a little, there was only one pony that was crazier than her, and he was hopefully VERY far away. Just then he saw that Starlit was in the room. What is she doing here? he thought to himself, but he went over to speak with her anyway.
"Good day Starlit," he said bluntly, "what brings you here?"
She replied, "Might I ask you the same question?"
"My visit with Vaati," he answered, "you?"
"Helped out Link," Starlit responded. "By the way, if you're looking for Vaati, he's probably coming out of his meeting with his monsters as we speak."
Not as soon as the words escaped her mouth, Vaati, Link, Zelda, and Navi came out of the southern basement hall into the main lobby.
Link was talking to Vaati saying, "Whatever happened to that power-hungry kid my ancestors told me of?"
Vaati replied, "Ganon happened, after my service under him, I realized how meaningless it all was. I could never win, and I was always put back into the sword again. That's when I thought about leaving Hyrule. However, before I could do so, your ancestor shot me with a light arrow while I was teleporting and caused me to end up here. I made friends, adopted young Scootaloo, and found a way to live life not as a villain, but as a hero myself."
"See, " said Link, "It ain't that bad being good, is it?"
Just then, Icicle had made his way over to them and said, "Greetings Vaati."
"Oh," Vaati said noticing Icicle, "greetings to you as well, Icicle. I don't believe you've met Link yet, have you?"
"No, I don't believe I have." Icicle responded, "But who are your other companions there?"
"My name is Zelda, and this is Navi." The princess said, "By the way, you should probably be made aware that the Timelord-magician should be here in about two hours."
"Ok, it was a pleasure meeting you." Icicle said while thinking, How in Glacinte's mane did she know about Sorcerencis? Something's not right here.
You know Icicle, you're right, something is definitely not right here, chuckled a voice that had just popped into Icicle's head.
Icicle froze in his tracks realizing who had just spoken to him, Oh no, not you, anyone but you. Please leave me alone, Chironicus.
AAAWW, you're no fun. Besides, I like being up here in your head, there are so many wonderful memories to play with, Chironicus complained.
Icicle sharpened up and thought, Don't you DARE mess with any of my memories.
I was just kidding, although I wonder if this section of emotion nerves coordinate this Applejack memory,Chironicus said as Icicle followed Vaati back into the palace entrance hall.
Icicle then accidentally blurted out, "No! Not that one!"
"Why not this one Icicle?" Pinkie Pie said looking confused.
Realizing his mistake, he quickly recovered with, "I'm sorry Pinkie, what did you say?"
She responded, "I said, why shouldn't I use this bottle to make A1?"
"What's A1?" Icicle asked.
Pinkie replied, "A special sauce for Vaati's troops, it makes their food taste better."
"Ok," Icicle said while asking Chironicus, What is it?
It's steak sauce, although they'll probably use it on meat from Everfree monsters, Chironicus replied.
Alright, I think that's a little too much information, Icicle said.
Oh well, I guess we should have some fun before the party starts, Chironicus thought very mischievously.
What are you talking about? icicle said worried.
Herobrine beam us up, Chironicus said as light started to surround Icicle.
WHAT?! Icicle thought as he vanished from the Palace of Winds.
"Hey, where did Icicle go?" Applejack stated noticing his absence.
"Oh, he's just going to play some Minecraft, he'll be back in a while. Although I think he saved in front of a Creeper last time," Pinkie casually responded.
.......................................................................................................
hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssBOOM
Chironicus then burst out with laughter, no longer in Icicle's head since they were alone in Minecraft.
.......................................................................................................
about two hours later Icicle reappeared in the Palace to find a worried Applejack. "Where have ya been, Sugacube? All of us but Pinkie were worried sick."
Icicle merely responded, " A place I never want to see again."
"Well," Pinkie stated, "The party's almost ready!"
Just then, a teleportation flash occurred in the middle of the room, while Zelda said, "Right on time." when it dissipated, standing there was a purple mare that anypony could mistake as Twilight, save for the fact her mane was blue with the pink stripe.
"Sorcerencis? What are you doing here?" Starlit asked.
Sorcerencis then quiockly said, "There's no time for talk. We must head to Canterlot, now."
"What is going on?" Vaati asked.
Sorcerencis turned around to face Vaati saying, "Dark Link knows they are still alive, he's coming for us."
