Kongo Jungle, once home to many apes and animals and plants of all kinds. Now a lot more desolate outside the Infected variety though there is the strange overgrowth here and there... Ruby soared through the air in her Petal Burst before clipping her scythe onto a branch and pulling herself up onto it.  Her red cloak enveloped her body and draped off the branch. Alright she should be close enough and this should be high enough to avoid being sneaked up on from the front. There is a strange... oppressive atmosphere to this part of the jungle. Like there was a weight on her chest just by sitting there... Maybe it was her imagination and leading a mission for the first time outside the Life Sphere was getting to her a bit.

"Get it together, Ruby, this isn't your first time. We got this," she shook her face for a moment as she pumped herself up a bit. The village should be nearby and this quest shouldn't take too long to complete. Just need to check out the village and verify what's happening and go. Alright, she should be good to go... After her team mates get here of course. Fortunately the coast looked clear for now and it shouldn't take too long for that Pichu to send help.

Mission Start!

The wind tussled against the trees ever so gently in the area around Ruby. In a brief second later though, it became exponentially more violent, leaves kicking up from the ground, trees swaying as if a giant ape was rattling them for fruit. Like wisping winds, an eerie green glow zipped through the air. A small flash revealed the bodice of a young woman, though instead of gracefully appearing with her feet solidly on the ground, she was about six feet in the air, her body awkwardly twisted upside down. In a panicked split second, the woman desperately swung her weight around so that she wouldn’t land smack dab on her skull.

The wind settled, and the illustrious Princess Zelda dizzily landed on her wobbly feet. She snapped to attention though, clasping her hands together and putting on a calming meditative face, as if everything had gone according to plan. In actuality though, she was kind of surprised to be in one piece considering that she had never used Farore’s Wind to travel such a long distance.

Zelda swallowed that back, pacing towards Ruby before realizing that her skirt was dragging across the mucky jungle floor. A slight cringe of revulsion caused her to grab the sides of her dress and hoist it up ever so slightly. She thought they were supposed to investigate some sort of unholy city, not prance around in the swamp. Goddess only knows how long it would take to get the stains out of a white and pink dress.

Regardless, she politely bowed to the red hooded adventurer. “Well met, it is an honour to make your humbled acquaintance. I am Princess Zelda, of the… uh, former Hyrulian royal family” she pleasantly recited, as if rehearsed, though a bit caught off guard about the amendment she had to include. Supposedly, the Hyrule royal family didn’t quite exist anymore.

“As Hylia’s emissary, I have come to purge the Forsaken Village with her holy light” she explained concisely. Zelda proceeded to look left and right with a confused yet curious look to her countenance. “… so where is it?”

The roar of a motorcycle echoed through the sky as...wait, that ain't no motorcycle! That's a one-eyed wheel with exhausts strapped to it! Carrying a giant penguin singing a song!

♪ Dedede, that's the name you should know! ♫
♬ Dedede, he's the king of this show! ♩
♪ You'll holler and hoot, I'll give Grimm the boot! ♩
♬ Dedede is the ooooneeee! Comin' at'cha! Yeah! ♫

Dedede stops and parks the Rex Wheelie on the ground, meeting up with Ruby and Zelda with a wave and a big grin. Just then...a kiddo pops up from behind him, holding a paintbrush and a paint palette on her hands!

"Featuriiing...Adeleine~♪"

"Dang right!" Dedede replied, offering Adeline a high-five, which the tiny girl took with gusto before he turned to address Ruby. "Sorry it took us a while, kiddo. But we're 'ere now, and we gonna clobbah the heck outta that there Grimm!" the king of Dreamland boasted, lifting his hammer with ease, his grin never. Adeline then approached both the other girls and said. "Um...I might not be as strong as Dadede is, but I'll support you in any way I can with my own tricks!” Adeleine said, the intentional mispronunciation earning a laugh from the king.
