What should I even post? There isn't really anything addressing Zero directly, and I can't think of anything else he would be doing, other than maybe wonder if any of his fight with Mr. Freeze actually happened or if he dreamed it all up. To be fair, Zero is the same guy who, not 30 minutes ago, lost it against a training robot, and now he not only stood up to Freeze (alone at one point, mind you) but actually managed to hold his ground. I think anyone in that position would just be sitting there in stunned silence.

I also believe female's generally rule rather than the males in the royal line.

@Apollosarcher

Since when? The majority of the games all directly reference a King of Hyrule. Ocarina of Time directly mentions Hyrule being ruled by a king; and Link to the Past, Wind Waker, and Minish Cap go even further and actually show the king on screen and (in Wind Waker and Minish Cap's case) even give him his own character arc.

So yeah, pretty sure Hyrule is ruled by a King, not the Princess.

A brief debate sparked about their method of travel. If Arthal was to be their de facto leader, then surely he was capable of handling this without any input from Cyrus. Instead, Cyrus walked over to a nearby flower bed. If their first destination was the Keyblade Graveyard, then Cyrus wanted to make his own preparation for the trip. He did this by bending down and picking a handful of the flowers. He looked for yellow and red ones specifically, the colors most people used when decorating a grave site. Only after he was satisfied with his selection of flowers did Cyrus allow himself to be transported.

The chosen method of travel was... disorienting, but he was confident he would get used to it more as time went on. Normally, he just used Corridors of Darkness, letting the armor he wore serve as protection against the corruption the Corridors were rumored to cause. Still, this seemed a safer option, especially for people traveling as a group, so Cyrus wouldn't protest to it. Once in the Graveyard, Arthal explained what it was to everyone, though Cyrus already knew the story. It was where the war first began, the ground actually littered with the Keyblades wielded by those who were felled in the battle, the blades acting as tombstones to serve as their final resting place. There were those in the war who believed that the Keyblade Graveyard drew in the spirits of all the fallen, not the just the ones from this specific battle, and serves as their final resting place. This world was considered sacred by many, and almost universally considered neutral ground through out the war as of now. Some, Cyrus had heard, even made occasional journeys here to pay their respects, not unlike a pilgrimage.

As for Cyrus himself, this was only his second time to come here. His first? That was... a less-than-peaceful visit, a memory he'd rather forget, but one he knew he never could. The first thing Cyrus did was approach one of the Keyblades in the ground. This one, to anyone knowledgeable enough about Keyblades, was obviously a fake one, a replica. A more eagle-eyed person with such knowledge would also notice that the blade looked rather familiar, mostly because it looked exactly like the one Cyrus wielded with his left hand, the very Keyblade he used when pledging his allegiance to the team. Cyrus knelt before the replica Keyblade and placed the flowers he had picked earlier on the ground next to it. After that he remained there a moment longer, eyes closed and head bowed in sorrow.

I'm pretty sure we're basically just waiting for Daichi.

Well, if he has such power over time and space, let's ask the incredibly obvious question...

Why hasn't he gone back in time and stopped all this crap from ever happening in the first place?

This is why time travel should never ever ever ever ever ever EVER be used. Ever.

Everything was running smoothly at first. Zero and Leviathan ventured away from the safety of Isis' cover fire to seek out the last of the civilians. Things went downhill pretty quick almost as soon as Mr. Freeze appeared. Leviathan struck first, or at least, he attempted to. Freeze set off a grenade of some kind that froze most of Leviathan's left arm. That just left the two of them, and from here, things happened in what felt like an eternity of time.

Zero also tried to go on the offensive, hoping he could maybe catch Freeze off guard while the villain's attention was on Leviathan. Zero wasn't that lucky, however, because Freeze spotted him a mile away opened fire with his primary weapon, the Freeze Gun. His shots, all three of them, hit their mark and Zero was frozen in place, appearing like an ice sculpture of himself.

"All too easy." he said in his ice-cold tone. He started to return his attention to Leviathan but a peculiar sound made him stop. He raised an eyebrow with curiosity as cracks began rapidly spreading around the ice encasing Zero until it exploded off of him. Even more surprising, this turned into a controlled blast that forced most of the icy shrapnel in Freeze's general direction. Of course, his suit was plenty strong enough to withstand the blast, "...Intriguing." was all he had to say in response.

Once free, Zero went on the attack again. This time, his escape from Freeze's ice blast gave him the element of surprise, albeit briefly. Still, that was all he needed. He lunged at Freeze with a fist of his own, however this one became covered in thick, tough ice to reinforce it as it collided with Freeze's glass helmet. Of all of Batman's rogues, Mr. Freeze was the one Zero had studied the most for obvious reasons. He didn't know everything, but from what he understood, defeating Freeze could be as simple compromising the protection of his suit, since it was the only thing keeping him alive in any non-arctic environment. And although he managed to hit Freeze as hard as he could muster, he didn't break the glass.

Of course, Freeze offered no time for a second attack. In fact, now that Zero was in close range, Freeze reached an armored hand out, grabbing the young Titan and tossing him aside. As a follow-up, Freeze pulled the pin on an ice grenade and threw it straight at Zero. Perhaps a more powerful ice blast would be enough to put his young opponent on ice.

Zero refused to let himself fall for the same trick twice, "Oh no you don't!" he thrust his hands out and a wall of ice rose in front him to catch the grenade. When it detonated, the freeze blast was redircted backwards, though unfortunately it was too far away from Freeze to be a danger to him.

"Your powers, though strikingly similar to my own technology, seems limited by your own physical stamina. My weapons, however, have no such limits. You're a fool if you think you can outlast me in a dragged out battle." Freeze taunted, though in his usual cold tone, so it sounded less like a taunt and more like a cold assertion.

"You're right, I don't stand a chance on my own." as Zero spoke, he conjured himself the biggest hammer he could swing, "But that never stopped Robin!" he started running forward, "AND IT WON'T! STOP! ME!"

Well, real-world controversies aside, I doubt the Gorons are going to be acting as friendly or welcoming as they used to. I remember in Ocarina of Time they were more than happy let Link go into the Dodongo Caverns, and while Darunia himself took some convincing, in the end it wasn't that hard for the Goron people to trust Link completely. That level of openness is what I believe is no longer present. I'm sure they're still maintaining their original treaty with Zelda and Hyrule and all that, but I seriously doubt they're going to be calling anyone their Sworn Brother any time soon since the last person they did, you know, conquered the world and all.

Ehhhh. That's... Hard to compare.

Because, technically, the Jewish people have only been in control of the actual city of Jerusalem since WWII, and have never really had a military force to fight Islamic people anyway (Unlike Christians).

Now, if you were to argue Christians and Muslims fighting over it, that is a bit closer to a mellenium, but wasn't caused by a grudge. The crusades (Where I'm kind-of considering the 'start' of this conflict) were caused by the fact the Islamic people in charge there ceased letting Christians into the city as well as other bad things to Christians

... Believe it or not I'm a Math Major, actually.

@Burthstone

I realized my error and edited accordingly. Even still, the Crusades themselves are arguably what sparked the current animosities between the groups today. Point is, people are more than capable of holding a grudge even that long after the fact.

Never though of that angle... It is a 1000 years later, so some of that might have died down.

@Crimson Raven

You'd be surprised how long a grudge can last. Jews, Muslims, and Christians have been fighting over Jerusalem for thousands of years and are showing no signs of that ever dying down.
