*3rd pov* 

After nearly 15 minutes of silence, the elevator opened to the 5. The exited into a dark corridor that opened up into a lush green field filled with multicolored flowers and large trees. I'm the distance you could even see a river and a waterfall. The entire area was enormous 

To Koneko and a lesser extent Ken, who can sense nature energy, they were in awe as the telling here was pure and untainted by the hate up above. The cavern was well lit as crystals above glowed bright enough to illuminate the area as well as the sun. 

Koneko: ...Impossible... A place like this can't exist... Nature is never this calm anymore... It hasn't been in millennia... 

Without even realizing it, Koneko accidentally revealed her true form. The white cat ears and a tail that appeared startled the others, but Koneko was too busy basking in the warmth that her new favorite place was giving her. For years she was afraid of nature due to the corruption that plagued it that driven many senjutsu users mad, but here the allure of this place's purity was intoxicating for the nekushou. She then spin around with a large uncharacteristic smile on her face.

Koneko: This place is beautiful!

Asia got over her surprise of her friend's new appendages and emotions and quickly joined her in enjoying the field. 

Asia: Oh how God has blessed us with such a wonderful sight!

???: Actually that was me. I made this.

The 5, startled, turned to see a platinum blond hated woman in a snow white gown in a chair drinking tea.

Ken narrowed his eyes as he could have sworn that she wasn't there when they arrived. He would withhold judgment for now but he wouldn't let his guard down.

???: You know miss, it isn't nice to give credit to people for other's work. 

Asia stuttered and bowed deeply.

Asia: O-oh I'm sorry. Please forgive me.

The unknown woman giggled and waved her hand dismissively.

???: Oh it's quite alright. Gentle souls like yours always welcome here. Your innocence is refreshing in your mind Asia Argento.

The Group's eyes widened.

Asia: How do you know my name?

The woman smiles warmly. Her very presence seemed to radiate a calm peaceful a aura.

???: I know about everyone who comes here. From the champion reincarnation Ken, the dark exorcist Irina Shidou, the timid half vampire Akua Vladi, and the lonely nekushou Shirone Toujou also known as Koneko. You must be here for the princess and shelter from the magic storm that will consume the surface tomorrow. 

Ken summoned his sword just in case, but the moment he did, the woman's eyes sparkled at the sight of it. 

???: YOU BROUGHT HER?! 

Quicker then anyone could track she appeared in front of Ken and studied the master sword. 

???: Oh my, it's even starting to awaken! This never happened before! The fact it truly chose you is nothing short of a miracle! 

Ken was completely confused as the woman started to run her cheeks into the flat of his blade. 

???: Ooooh it's only a matter of time before she awakens completely! 

Irina: umm... Your scaring Akua...

Akua was trembling and hiding behind the brown haired girl. While the blonde vampire would have rather had a cardboard box, the former editor's presence was a strangely calming presence to the girl. This action reminded the mysterious woman to remember why they came.

???: Oh I'm sorry. How rude of me. 

Ken nodded and unsummoned the sword now convinced that she was the harmless kind of crazy. 

???: You should know however that you all are not ready to survive the world when the storm is done. As you are now, you would die. Rather quickly might I add.

Irina: What do you mean?

???: The magic that will flood the world will have a major impact on wildlife and fauna. The ecology will mutate and any humans still caught in the open will either die or be driven insane. The only way to survive in such a world is to either adapt or flee. 

Asia: that's awful! Is there anything we can do?

???: Maybe so a year or 2 ago but now it's entirely too late. The only thing you CAN do is after the worst has passed, is to help make the world livable again. But as I said, you are not strong enough currently and neither is the princess frankly. 

Koneko: How do we get stronger then? Are you going to teach us?

???: Well kitty, in a way yes, but you all need specialized training in a way that could take too long to do normally. 

Ken: Too long? What do you mean?

???: The various factions of the world will try and exert their power over the land of you wait too long. Humans and yokai will remain enslaved to the supernatural forever unless they take back the surface. To that end I have prepared a way to both give you the training you need, and allow you to awaken the princess.

Akua: T-this sounds like a videogame...

The woman laughs causing Akua to yelp.

???: Indeed it does but still know this. You only have one shot. If you fail well... How do you mortals say it? Your fucked. Now I believe we have a princess to awaken first. Oh and Ken? Do be prepared as you do look exactly like her crush, Link. You also act like him and now that I'm thinking about it, you even attract girls like him. Who knows, maybe you can repopulate the world with the help of these girls...

Everyone but her turned atomic red while she giggled at their embarrassment. She then lead them to a spire of crystal that glowed with a golden light. Inside it was a shadow of a woman praying. 

???:Well here she is. May I present to you princess Zelda, the last of the hylean royal family and the holder of the triforce of wisdom. Now Ken, be a dear and wake her up please. The re st of you might want to stand back.

Ken: Fine, but how do I get her out?

???: Isn't it obvious? You were raised by humans so I thought you would realize it? Don't they always resort to violence? Stab the crystal please. I'll take it from there.

Ken nods and takes out his blade and drives it deep into the crystal. Light engulfs him as the woman had one last thing to say.

???: Oh and try not to die in there. It is quite dangerous.

Ken: Wait what?

Then Ken's vision faded away.

A/n Well so far I got the ideas down but I'm curious. Do you guys want me to keep Asia as a healer or give her the power to fight with light based spells and weaponry? She would still act kind when she can but I'm this situation I'm not sure if a straight healer is a good idea... Thanks for reading.
