Chapter 8 | Rage, You Damned Nerd

[yiga-hellhole]

don’t fucking look at him. no paparazzi

[skyward-floored]

Hey peg, got a non tri force heroes related ask (woah!, shocking!, unprecedented!) whats your opinion on my favorite lil guys; ravio, yuga, and hilda. since ALBW is also my second favorite zelda game. which weirdly enough is also the ONLY other zelda game I've played (to competition) weird how that works ya know? also, hows the youse? I'm pretty good rn, on my mid winter break so I'm feelin nice and practically useless.

Oooooogggghhhh albw makes me feel so many things it's one of my favorite zelda games even though I rarely talk about it (I also haven't played it in a hot minute so if I get details wrong here that's why and I'm not proofreading so hehe this might be a disaster)

(also spoiler warning if anyone hasn't played albw)

I LOVE Ravio. So much. He's goofy and silly and a has a little pet bird and has a rabbit hood and dances when he makes money but also he's more or less a refugee trying to save his doomed home in the only way he can think of. He's a buisness man and his prices are ridiculous but he has concern for Link as well, and is actually his counterpart and their dynamic and everything makes me crazy. Also he's a coward and I relate to that so much. I feel like a coward so often, and I know a lot of people feel inspired by Link's brand of courage but honestly Ravio's is just as important to me if not more. Cause yeah he's a coward. But he has enough courage to leave his home (go to another WORLD) to find somebody who isn't cowardly and who can help fix things and stop Hilda from making a huge mistake. And it pays off. Ravio is a hero in my eyes and I love him.

Yuga I don't have a huge opinion about, but he's an interesting villain. I do like how he merged himself with Ganon, that was a gutsy move I did NOT expect the first time. Plus his whole thing about being obsessed with beauty and paintings and things, it's creepy and stuff, but makes him stick out more in my mind then some other villains. Other then that I don't have a lot to say about him lol, but his whole thing with manipulating Hilda and stuff was interesting too. I'd love to see more of his and Ravio and Hilda's background/story. also his weapon is neat.

Hilda is great <3 Her turning out to be the bad guy was REALLY unexpected (like I maybe suspected her a bit but I was so busy with her encouragment and saving the world and everything I wrote it off), and her motivations were SO interesting. She's making horrible manipulative decisions, but she's trying to save her people, her home. It's the only option that's really left to her and she's desperate to do something to help them, but Ravio helps her see that destroying another world isn't the way. And like, she just seems so scared to me. She's trying to pull together a kingdom that's literally falling apart, Yuga is whispering poison in her ear, but she's so determined to save her people, at any cost. She's an awesome character, and her face at the ending after Link and Zelda restore Lorule's triforce just about makes me cry. That's the face of somebody who lost her hope and thought she deserved nothing, and got everything. She can't believe it. I love albw.

...Also you asked how I'm doing, the answer is not bad! Swimming in too many AUs at the moment, but it happens. Trying to get reasonable amounts of sleep and failing recently lol. I've just been really tired and it's very annoying. But aside from that, pretty good.

[churomo]

your recent art is gorgeous and I didn’t actually know about the theory of the triforce holders being swapped around. it’s a super cool idea to chew on for sure and I can def see ravio having wisdom

ravio having wisdom really does make the most sense i think!! from what i’ve seen too, it’s a fairly well-believed theory ♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

but yuga having courage in particular is very interesting to me! especially with the relationship they have in game. yuga’s very arrogant and he looks down on link, but at the same time they… have things in common? albeit, they’re minor. their ambition and unwavering determination to reach their goals, as well as how they’re both the only ones able to go back and forth from painting form at will (i know that’s the mechanic of the game but when you think of it thematically)… every now and then i think about the final battle, and how link had to go in after yuga when he fused into the wall… and there’s just a lot of thoughts

[scopophobia-polaris]

Okay so someone said it the tags they want lore here we go

Ravio was born in the Dark World to a couple of Blind's thieves in the village of outcasts, as you can imgine, being raised by a bunch of guys that are all very interested in key items and money has formed a very....capitalistic mindset in him

Because of the Dark World's influence, Ravio was born in the shape of a rabbit, maybe because all kids are pure or whatever he thinks it's a little silly

He wishes he looked more like his parents, his dad being a goblin like creature and his other dad being uh..well not even he knows, but he thinks he looks the equivalent to a light world dog. Maybe.

Atleast it gave him a cool pair of sharp teeth in his mouth but everything else is bunny shaped

This also doesn't change when he enters the light world, Ravio is a "human" but just doesn't look like it to everyone, even someone who can see the truth will only see a funny bunny.

Ravio and Link are around the same age, but it turns out Link might be older by a smidge, much to the rabbit's annoyance because he IS taller...but maybe Link is older because he's the hero

I think Sheerow caught him and not the other way around

Sheerow and Ravio got some messed up magic stuff between them, as Ravio doesn't like going into dungeons he sends sheerow in instead and can seemingly see, hear and speak through the bird? Yeah a bird.

Imgine only having one (1) friend, her name is Halizah.

Halizah is infact the "Princess" of the Dark World

You won't believe who her Gramps is because not even Ravio can handle that one, they don't even look alike! She doesn't even have tusks!

For being such a coward he sure is a fast runner! Wait no that makes perfect sense actually...

His robes he made himself! He thought at first that maybe the way to make sure light world dwellers didn't freak out was to make a human suit. Halizah had to burn the first attempt

Yuga? Who's the hell is that all I know is Ganon and he won't even talk to us

This man cannot take criticism of his business practice unless it's Mr.Hero who says it 🥰

Actually if Link says anything Ravio is automatically turning his ears and listening

Link is really cool and is hero for a reason RIGHT?

Wrong. He's just a dude, and if Link is a dude and if Ravio is a dude then that means...he's Mr.Hero2

During AlttP Link fell into the Dark World up on Death Mountain, he was lost for a solid week until he found his house..? And a portal back inside, that's how he met Ravio already setting up shop in his not very abandoned house.

What do you mean you didn't use the mirror? If you pay me 5 dollars I can give you a tutorial on how to use it MEESTERR HEEROW 💀

We don't need to talk anymore, but Link is slightly weirded out that Ravio tucks him in at night, hes just trying to be kindly and trustworthy!! Also it's good business practice to treat your best customer a little diffrent than other customers 🥺

Actually wait Link, youre looking a little tired, if you want I can loan you a spot in my Sleeping bag so you don't gotta feel the cold chill of the ground when we're traveling come of pspsppsspspsps 🥺🥺🥺

Shockingly, the rabbit is not cool might be a bit of a fruit though

bnha mini comic

[nightshadow2518]

Okay okay I been gone for a bit not touching on the episodes but as someone who usually has controversial taste according to others and beung a huge critic, I wanna say if you hate Bridge, Yuga amd Yuamu then go ahead. It's weird people are fighting so hard on it when this fandom hates all antagonist. Yuna, Tremolo, Swirly, etc so why is it different now? Yes don't ruin the show but yeah hate it.

However...this fandom has an UNUSUAL fucking level of characters. We say we want complex characters but we can't even understand Yuga or Yuamu right now? Honestly if you asked me although there is a lot of faults within Go Rush and I started not to like it for other reasons, the situation right here is honestly one of the more interesting ones because it's a conflict that both sides are right and both sides are wrong and their own order. Yuga/Yuamu are fighting for the future and are saying that everyone else sacrificing their life is going to pass eventually and we know in sevens there's not many aliens, in fact we forget that when they hear about aliens everyone was shocked except for one person. Yuga. However they will be a lot of blood on their hands given that putting an Extinction to a big race or a dying race

Yuhi/Yudias are fighting for the survival of people that have passed away people that they have known and now found out that someone close to them is causing all of this and even is willingly okay with it. However they would also be preventing somebody from getting back home to their timeline no we have devastating it is for him, even being there (Yuhi) when he talks about how the person that came back is probably not even him.

This is honestly one of the more compelling and very deep storylines that we have gotten and maybe Yu-Gi-Oh history and this fandom is treating it like it has to be this big debate on who's right when both of them are in a gray area. This is a complex and compelling story and I feel like it's not getting treated right because we're so busy trying to see who's right who's wrong instead of treating it like a show. In the end there could be a possibility that everyone could be saved and Yuga could get back home or there's a possibility that it was all of waste and Otes/Monster Reborn will happen regardless. I don't know if anyone has said that both of these situations are great areas or even that this is one of the best stories ever SEEN.

I'm usually the big negative person of this community and not many people like my opinions but for this I'm trying to play Both sides because even though go Rush has kind of disappointed me, this story line is very very good and it kind of shows a new view on time travel and how you can't just fix it with one little thing and how once you even travel through it it's going to change constantly and no matter what you do you could mess something up. Most of us are adults in this fandom, some of us are teens. This is a show aimed at 10 year olds but with the complexity of it it's really really mature for its rating and we should treat it as it's maturity. Maybe it's just me but I surprisingly don't hate anyone in the situation, if anything I have a new respect for all four of them. Hate Yuga but my hot take is that he is the most well-written protagonist with a complex story and eye grabbing details. Bridge is not perfect but it just started! Go Rush is the second series and nothing is perfect even after the second time. For all we know by the time this gets to the same amount of legacy that Gallup went through we won't even consider that this was a big thing.

[katkalis-the-fanartist]

In case anyone's interested I suppose, though idk if they've been shared on tumblr before or not, Yuga's concept art from Arts and Artifacts is amusing and interesting!

And honestly so are Hilda's and Ravio's sheets:

There's also this Ghirahim concept art that's in there that I dont think is in Hyrule Historia:

So yeah...neat concepts!

The Gerudo King's Bride

Chapter 1: Curiosity

Yuga dressed in an aubergine purple wrap dress with a black cloth covering his head, jewels and gold spread on his clothes and body. He let his curiosity get the better of him. He had heard the rumors about some sort of evil inside of the old castle. He decided he would see for himself whether or not those rumors were true.

Now he was at the ancient castle and sneaking in through a secret path. His heels clicked against the stone path. He looked around with caution before stepping into the castle.

The beautiful artist was greeted by coldness and dust as he crept into what seemed to be a hallway. It wasn't long before he found a large room. Though this room was different. There was what looked like to be a ritual circle on the ground. An old and aged book sat in the middle. Yuga walked into the room and towards the book. He raised an eyebrow suspiciously before bending over to pick it up. He flipped to a random page and scoffed with a smirk.

"And people said this place was filled with evil, tch. Nothing here but an old book!" He muttered to himself.

He raised both eyebrows as he thought for a moment. He chuckled before starting to chant the spell that laid on the page he flipped to.

"O king of power, O king of darkness, O king of demons! Hear my call and answer! Interlock our fates and souls together! Let us never part, even after death! Bind our hearts together in holy commitment!"

Yuga threw his arms up in the air for dramatic effect, but nothing happened. He dropped his arms with another scoff of disappointment. But then the room was filled with a crimson and black fog.

Yuga's eyes shot open with surprise as he quickly stepped back from the ritual circle. A hole appeared inside of the circle and it seemed there was something huge coming out of it.

A huge, extremely hairy man rose from the hole. His body was a gorgeous brown color with muscles so visible that they were clearer to see than crystals. His piercing and aged yellow eyes stared down at the painter. Red, firey, and long hair flowed from his head. His armor decorated with gold. His white and sharp tusks sticking out from his bottom row of teeth.

"Who has summoned me?" Said the man with a booming voice, loud enough to cause an earthquake.

Yuga gulped nervously before speaking with shaky voice, "It is I that have summoned you, M-M'Lord."

Aged, golden eyes met black ones. The man then reach down to the sorcerer. Yuga began to panic and raised his hands up defensively. He stuttered as he tried to reason with the larger man.

"P-Please forgive me! I-I did not have any knowledge that the spell would actually work! It's truly-"

Yuga cut himself off when the man gently lifted his chin up so they were making eye contact. The man shook his head and spoke in a gruff voice.

"I will not have my bride apologize for summoning me."

Yuga stared up at him with his mouth agape and eyed wide in shock. He face quickly became flushed as he questioned the other man.

"Bride?! B-But we- you never proposed to me! I swear I summoned you on accident-"

Yuga was cut off when the larger man rose his free hand to tell him to stop talking. The large man looked down at him as he spoke.

"Do not be ridiculous. It is you who proposed to me by that spell you used. Now, tell me your name."

Yuga just stared up at him in shock before he blurted out, "I cannot be your bride! I barely even know you!"

The man let out a low growl of anger at the painter trying to refuse him. He spoke in his loud and booming voice again.

"YOU ARE MY BRIDE. YOU HAVE ALREADY INTERTWINED OUR SOULS TOGETHER."

Yuga's eyes widened even more as his body shook violently. The man before him was terrifying, yes, but there was something about him that was thrilling in a good way. He could only stand there frozen for a few seconds before fainting.

Whumptober day 17- collar, touch aversion, leave me alone

Smiles using all three in the prompt? Rare! Anyways I… I don’t even know how to describe this one BDMSBSKSBMS . SO REMEMBEE THAT DREAM I HAD ABOUT YUGA AND LINEBECK YES I TURNED IT INTO A PROMPT I NEEDED IDEASDBSKSBKSBSAKABK. I need y’all to bear with me here cuz this is nothing but pure chaos. Basically Linebeck meets the villain squad. There’s yuga, Ghirahim, Vaati, zant, Astor, Kogha, and Linebeck in this fic and… it’s crazy. Genuinely can’t tell if it’s actually cringey or if I’m just mean to myself 💀💀💀 so uh, yeah, it’s a long one and ends weirdly but whatevs

Warnings: kidnapping, possessive attitude, nonconsensual touching (it’s nothing serious Ghirahim and Yuga are just a little creepy) and yeah

~~~~~~~~~~~~

It had been a normal day for Linebeck. He woke up, pissed off Leon, pissed off everyone else, and took a walk through the woods while they all calmed down. He kept close to camp so that if something happened, Linebeck would be close enough to them. But apparently it didn’t matter, because in the end, he was grabbed and pulled into a portal, held against his will by some… colorful characters.

Linebeck paced his cage when they left him alone, occasionally leaning up against the bars hopelessly. There was no way he was getting out of this, and there was no way that the others would even know where to find him. The people holding him hostage were weird, but they were scary. Having sharp teeth, powerful magic, and all were freakishly tall (except for two). One was a creature that he’d never seen before, having round yellow eyes, fair blue skin, and markings along his nose. Linebeck was a coward at heart, and these people did not want to make him feel brave.

Linebeck tugged at the collar that they put on him. It was to “block his ability to use magic”, but it was nothing more than a nuisance to Linebeck since he didn’t have any magic. It rubbed painfully against his neck and it occasionally felt like he was being choked. Linebeck groaned and fiddled with the collar more until the men who abducted him barged into the room, arguing about something.

“How could you screw up that bad?” A taller man with white hair that covered one eye yelled. “Open a portal to the castle, that's all you had to do!”

“Portals are a finicky magic! Only a powerful magician can safely open up a portal without any issues!” A smaller purple man who also had hair covering one eye yelled back.

“Oh! Well it seems like you’re not a very powerful magician then, Vaati!”

“Shut up Ghirahim! You know nothing about magic!”

“Can you two stop it with the yelling.” A pale man with a hood over his eyes came in, holding a strange contraption in his hand. “My head hurts.”

“Well Vaati screwed up my plan!” The one Linebeck assumed was Ghirahim practically screamed. The taller creature with the beady yellow eyes came by.

“I don’t understand why you didn’t come to me for help, I open up portals all the time!”

“You were gone with Yuga, Zant! And I needed this mission done now!”

“What is Loria’s name were you trying to do?” A tall man with thick, curly red hair leaned against the bars, and a little too close to Linebeck for comfort.

“I needed Vaati to open up a portal so we could kidnap the King! He was left unsupervised and it would’ve been a perfect opportunity! Just… who even is that?” Ghirahim pointed at Linebeck, which caused the others to look at him. Linebeck stood up straight and backed away from the bars, but Ghirahim got closer. “Who are you?”

Linebeck chuckled nervously and pressed his back against the back wall of his cage, as far away from them as possible. Ghirahim scoffed and snapped his fingers, vanishing in a cloud of diamonds. Linebeck yelped when he suddenly appeared inches from his face. He grabbed his shirt and pinned him against the wall, looking down at him with murder in his eyes. Linebeck felt like he was gonna pass out right then and there, but he swallowed his nerves down and tried to glare back at him.

“I said, who are you?” Ghirahim repeated, fury in his voice.

“A—uh— I—I’m uh…” Linebeck stuttered, unable to say his own name. Ghirahim groaned and rolled his eyes.

“Well he’s completely useless to us,” Ghirahim snapped his fingers and a dagger appeared in his hand. “Might as well get rid of him.”

“W-wait! Wait!” Linebeck tried to stop him, but sudden movement at his side caused him to scream and jerk away from it. Yuga appeared and held Ghirahim’s hand that had the dagger in it.

“Let’s not be too hasty, there’s no reason to kill him.”

Ghirahim rolled his eyes at him. “Let me guess, he’s too beautiful to die?”

“Yes!” Yuga dragged Linebeck away from Ghirahim, and he found himself pressed up against Yuga’s chest. “I mean look at him, beauty like this must be preserved.” His hand gently stroked against Linebeck’s cheek which made him physically recoil.

“Don’t touch me!” Linebeck swatted his hand at Yuga, but it was grabbed effortlessly by the large man.

“So feisty too, I’d like to keep him for my collection.”

“Yuga no. You let that one doctor live, and look where that got us!”

“Oh come on! I won’t let him walk around freely,” Yuga’s fingers dug possessively into Linebeck’s shoulder causing him to squirm. “I’ll just turn him into a painting and keep him in my hall, that’s all!”

Linebeck’s heart stopped. “Wh— turn me into a painting?”

“Well of course. Only the most beautiful and powerful ones are hung up on my wall. You should consider yourself lucky,” Yuga got close to his face and Linebeck leaned back.

“Kinda hard to consider myself lucky when I’ll have to look at your ugly face for the rest of my life!”

Yuga gasped and the others snorted in response.

“Oh I think I like him actually,” the hooded man said with a chuckle.

“Oh you— shut up, Astor!” Yuga yelled, his grip on Linebeck tightening in rage. “That was a petty insult, it sure does dampen your natural beauty.”

“Yeah well at least I have natural beauty unlike you, who needs all that crap all over your face just to be bearable to look at!”

Yuga gasped more loudly and he let go of Linebeck. Ghirahim started laughing like a maniac and he grabbed onto Linebeck.

“I have to agree with Astor, I think I like him as well.”

Linebeck squirmed in his hold, trying to get away. “Yeah well the feeling’s not mutual. Get off of me!”

Ghirahim’s grip tightened around him, and Linebeck groaned. He couldn’t move.

“Well we don’t need him alive so just kill him now Ghirahim,” Yuga grumbled, suddenly turning into a painting and slipping through the bars. Linebeck watched in awe as he popped out of the wall, returning to his true self. Yuga smirked at his reaction. “Still think that I’m nothing to look at?”

“Tch, you still look like a moblin’s rear end to me.”

Yuga glared daggers into Linebeck while the others laughed hysterically.

“Oh I definitely like you,” Ghirahim wheezed, patting him on the shoulder. “Sorry Yuga but I don’t want to kill him anymore, he… amuses me.”

Yuga grumbled as Ghirahim finally let go of Linebeck and left the cell.

“Uh… w-what are you guys going to do to me?” He couldn’t help but ask even though he knew that any answer would be a bad answer.

“Don’t know yet, you weren’t our original target,” Ghirahim answered, looking upset again. Vaati leaned against the bars next to Linebeck.

“Don’t worry your pretty little head over the specifics of your fate, we’ll take care of that for you,” he said.

“Yeah that’s kind of why this pretty little head of mine is worrying,” Linebeck rebutted. “Can you at least take off this collar? I don’t have any magic so it’s completely useless.”

“We’re not taking any chances with you,” Astor said in a low voice.

“Besides, if you ever escape, then people will know that you belong to us,” Vaati said with a grin.

Linebeck gulped and the group left the room, leaving him alone once again. He let out a big sigh and sunk to the floor, hoping that they wouldn’t return any time soon. Though he wanted to escape, the memory of Ghirahim and Yuga holding onto him so strongly made his skin crawl. Even if he could escape, he was not strong enough to fight against them. Ghirahim’s teleportation, Yuga’s weird painting magic, he didn’t even want to think about what the others were able to do. Not to mention, they all seemed so… sadistic. And that was what scared Linebeck the most.

Linebeck rested his head against hands, suddenly feeling very exhausted. He prayed that by some miracle, the others would find him. He just didn’t know how.

~~~~~~~~~

Linebeck jolted awake at the sound of crashing and yelling. He looked over at the door beyond his cage, his heart beating a mile a minute. The yelling continued, sounding like it was getting louder. Linebeck stood up and backed up in a corner, watching the door with dread.

“Just get what they stole from me, alright?” He heard someone shout from the other side. “We’ll be in and out before they even know we’re here!”

“Sure thing.”

There was inaudible grumbling and shifting around, with one proud cheer after a while of shuffling. Eventually the noises were right outside the door, and Linebeck held his breath. A regular looking Hylian in a red jumpsuit peaked his head into the room, and he locked eyes with Linebeck.

“Uh, Kogha?” The Hylian yelled out.

“What?” A gruff sounding man yelled back.

“There’s a guy here.”

“Huh? What?”

Another Hylian poked his head through, and then a tall, heavy man with a weird eye mask appeared. Linebeck pressed himself further into the corner, glaring at the three.

“Listen, unless you’re here to break me out, leave me alone!” He shouted with as much strength as he could.

The men all glanced at each others confused.

“Are you a hostage?” The first Hylian asked.

“I’m in a cage, of course I’m a hostage!”

The tallest one who Linebeck assumed was Kogha entered the room arrogantly.

“Well it’s your lucky day, sir. We’re gonna break you out.”

Linebeck raised an eyebrow. “And why should I trust you?”

Kogha leaned against the bars, gesturing to the whole room. “You know the guys that I assumed abducted you?”

“Unfortunately.”

“Yes, well, we don’t get along. One of them tried to sacrifice me to his malice god. Can you believe that? Sacrifice me?”

“I don’t care.”

“Yeah well, the yiga clan don’t take kindly to sacrificing me. So anytime we can piss them off or inconvenience them, I’ll take it.”

Linebeck narrowed his eyes. “Yiga clan? You wouldn’t happen to be connected to that Yuga guy would you?”

Kogha scoffed. “Just because our names are similar doesn’t mean that we’re connected.”

Linebeck narrowed his eyes even more, and Kogha shrugged.

“Oh whatever, boys, come tear down this door for me.”

Linebeck gasped as the two Hylians grabbed the cage door and pried it open with their weapons. Kogha gestured for Linebeck to join them.

“C’mon, let’s get you home.”

Linebeck looked down. “I don’t think you can get me home.”

“What do you mean?”

“Well…. I… I’m not from here—“

There was a loud banging sound, and the Hylians snapped their heads at something behind him.

“Ok well you can explain later, now come on,” Kogha sputtered, trying to grab Linebeck.

“Hey, don’t touch me! I still don’t know if I trust you or not—“

A loud shout came from beyond the door. “Kogha we need to leave now!” The second Hylian yelled, and Kogha grabbed Linebeck and threw him over his shoulder.

“Ah— HEY!” Linebeck yelled, but he was carried away as the three ran for it. Linebeck watched behind the three, seeing Astor and Zant appear. “Ah! Kogha!” Linebeck yelled as they noticed the group running away. Kogha slightly turned around and groaned.

“Ugh! Not that guy!” Kogha set down Linebeck while running, causing him to nearly fall over. “Make sure he gets out safely.”

“Wait, what are you doing, Kogha?” the first hylian asked.

“Buyin’ you some time,” Kogha said with a grin in his voice. Astor held up the strange contraption in his hand, and a red substance poured out of it, heading straight to the group. Linebeck gasped when it came close, but it was stopped by a strange blue shield put up by Kogha. Someone grabbed Linebeck’s hand and he was pulled along, which he quickly tried to pull away.

“I can run on my own! Let go!” He shouted, and the hylian holding his hand grumbled, letting go. The three ran for a long while after they made it outside, and when they were far enough, they all collapsed. Linebeck leaned against a tree and sighed with relief. Well at least actual escape wasn’t an issue anymore... Except this stupid collar was still on him.

“Kogha…” One of the hylians muttered, staring at the building they just escaped from.

“Did he make it out?” The other one asked, and they both watched intently. But there was nothing.

“I knew we shouldn’t have left him alone! They might’ve gotten to him this time!” The first Hylian said frantically, “they probably captured him, and now he’s gonna die! And the yiga clan will be without their leader!”

Linebeck felt guilt creep up on him. It didn’t matter what he thought about the men that saved him, they saved him. And Kogha… he must’ve given up everything just for them… just for him…

“Oh goddesses,” he mumbled, “he saved my life, and I didn’t even get to say thank you… heck I didn’t even show that I was grateful…. Goddesses… he didn’t deserve this.”

“Aw, how nice of you to care about me.”

Linebeck flinched at the sudden presence of another person next to him, and he nearly tripped into the other Hylians who stared at Kogha in awe.

“Kogha!”

“You’re ok!”

Kogha puffed out his chest and pointed at them dramatically. “Of course I’m alright! I may not be able to beat those lunatics down there, but I sure as heck can escape them!”

The Hylians both gave relieved sighs while Linebeck caught his breath. If one more person snuck up on him like that one more time…

“Oh come on now,” Kogha leaned towards Linebeck, “where’s that gratitude you wanted to show me?”

Linebeck groaned and stood up straight. “Thanks or… whatever,” he mumbled.

“Well, that was better than nothing I suppose,” Kogha scoffed, and the Hylians stood beside Kogha who had his finger resting on the chin of his mask. “I suppose I’m not done rescuing you yet, where’s your home? I can take you there.”

“Uh–” Linebeck looked down, gnawing his lower lip. There was no way that Kogha was going to get him out of here, he doubted he was in the same era that he was in before. Kogha tilted his head at him when he didn’t say anything.

“What’s the matter? Cat got your tongue?”

Linebeck glared at him. “No. I just… I don’t think you can get me home. Unless you can open up a portal across eras–”

“Wait– you’re from a different era?” One of the Hylians stepped up, looking surprised. Linebeck sighed.

“Yes, I am, and I need to get back to where I was,” though Linebeck could return to his beloved ship, he didn’t want to. He couldn’t abandon his friends, and he couldn’t abandon Link. Kogha let out a laugh and relaxed his posture.

“Hey buddy, I can open up a portal across eras,” Kogha wrapped his arm around Linebeck, making him squirm. “Though it’s not easy to do. I’ve been alive for so long that I was able to learn how to do it but Sheikah magic can’t normally do portals, and it’s just super hard to do in general–”

“Well for it being hard to do, it sure does happen a lot!” Linebeck yelled, and Kogha backed up with his hands up defensively.

“Calm down, let me just see where you once were and I can send you back.” Kogha leaned forward and stared at Linebeck for much longer than he’d like. Finally, Kogha hummed and stepped back. “I see,” he said softly, amused.

“What?”

“Once I open up the portal I want you to waste no time getting in, alright? I can’t keep it open for a long time.”

“Wait, you know where to take me? How?”

“Oh, uh, Sheikah magic, now get ready!” Kogha lightly shoved Linebeck, then got low, swinging his arms in a weird pattern, and right behind Linebeck, a portal opened up.

“Woah!” He stared at the red portal in front of him, trying to see if he could see the other side.

“Linebeck!”

Linebeck swung around at Kogha, surprised at how he knew his name, and he saw the Hylians gather around their leader.

“Tell Ammon I said hi, alright?” Kogha said in a strained voice, and Linebeck blinked. Did he… know Ammon? Kogha gestured to Linebeck with his head and the Hylians stepped forward, pushing Linebeck into the portal.

“W-wait! The collar–” was all Linebeck was able to say before he was pushed into the portal, and he landed on his back harshly in tall grass. He laid there for a moment, thinking about everything that happened to him when he heard yelling from far away.

“Linebeck! Come on, I’m sorry I yelled at you!” He heard Ammon shout.

“I swear if that man is in danger and we have to save him I will throw him into the lake!” He heard Leon grumble, and Linebeck couldn’t help but roll his eyes. Classic Leon.

“Hey, we’re supposed to be looking for him to make sure he’s alright, not threatening him,” Rusl spoke up, and Linebeck heard Leon groan. He would’ve called for them, but after being pushed into that portal, he was feeling pretty dizzy, and his ribs hurt from falling onto the ground. The three were silent for a while, until Linebeck heard their footsteps right next to him, and Leon accidentally kicked his head as he tripped over him.

“OW!” Linebeck sat up and rubbed his temple painfully as Leon laid sprawled out on the ground. “Watch where you’re going, Leon!”

Leon scrambled to his feet and glared at Linebeck. “You– You watch where you’re laying!” He retorted and Linebeck heard the other two groan.

“Leon for Din’s sake,” Ammon muttered, and he kneeled down next to Linebeck. “Are you alright? We got pretty worried about you.”

“Yeah, what’s that on your neck?” Rusl pointed at the collar that stayed around Linebeck’s neck.

“Oh, you know, I got abducted by a bunch of weirdos and they put this stupid collar on me so I wouldn’t use magic or whatever,” Linebeck said nonchalantly. The others gasped.

“You got kidnapped?”

“Who took you?”

“Are they still near?”

Linebeck shook his head. “No, they were from a different era. I’m lucky this weird red guy was able to open up a portal for me to return.”

“Goddesses Linebeck,” Leon groaned, “how do you always get yourself into these situations?”

“I don’t know but I do,” Linebeck looked over at Ammon and pursed his lips. “Um, the red guy…. His name was Kogha and he told me to tell you hi, for some reason.”

Ammon’s eyes widened in surprise. “K-Kogha? You saw him? I–” He looked down, a smile teasing the corners of his mouth, but it quickly went away. “Were you in my era?”

“I don’t know, do you normally deal with the weirdos called Yuga, Ghirahim, Astor, Zant, Vaati–”

“Astor?”

“Zant?”

“Vaati…”

Linebeck stared at the others in surprise. So they all knew them? Or at least some of them. Ammon looked confused, Rusl looked shocked, while Leon looked furious.

“Well, seems like I have a lot to tell you guys,” Linebeck said with an awkward chuckle. He tugged at the collar and stood up. “You think you could get this stupid thing off of me while I tell you the details?”

The three of them snapped out of their reactions and nodded, standing up as well.

“Don’t worry Linebeck,” Rusl started, wrapping his arm around his shoulder, “I have the right tools to get that off of you.”

“But I am very curious about your encounter with Kogha and Astor. You know Astor died in the calamity a long time ago.”

Linebeck shrugged. “Ok, well I did see him and all the others together. But uh, I wouldn’t recommend meeting them.” The others chuckled, and they all escorted the sailor back to camp.

So, monster reborn made the Gohas lose their memories of Swirly until Yuo got visions. Weird thing about Yuo, is that he forgot his birthday, and his other siblings remembered.

So, either Swirly got sealed in on Yuo’s birthday (with Yuo’s mind getting hit the second most) or Yuo spend every birthday being close to Swirly, causing his entire birthday to be forgotten along with Swirly.
