Challenge Tower

Heh! Foxes are omnivores, and turtles love carrots!

Try diplomacy first, though. Have Fox and Falco hang back under cover to provide cover fire if things go bad while the others ask what's up.

Signal FF to come out of hiding and join in. Pump Pikky for information about the major factions of the war.

Hope motions for Falco and Fox to come out now that it's safe. Dave turns back to the carrot knights, noticing that they're carrying what look like fancy swords. Actually, they look like gunblades. "Yo who's involved in this, dude?"

"Well, everyone's fighting over the Hyruje throne. Whoever gets the castle keeps it. Prince Zejda was unable to stop Ganon from consuming Hyruje castle. Basically, he's the dark lord and he took over. Then, looking for help to kick him out, Prince Zejda and his trusted warrior and heroine, Jink, told the surrounding countries that whoever slayed Ganon first and took back Hyruje would be the ruler. The only thing is, most of us are so busy fighting with each other that tgere isn't much progress."

Hope seems to be taking notes, but Fox taps her on the shoulder and shows her he's recording the conversation. She doesn't understand and continues to take notes anyway.

The carrot continues. "The Hyjians all scattered from the castle and live in the plains under the rule of Zejda. The Shiekah have luckily helped to take them in so they stay in Kakariko Village for now. The castle is under control by Ganon and his monsters right now, so I guess they technically count even though they're enemies with all of us. The Pikmin live here in the forest. General Pik Pik leads us into battle! If General Pik Pik wins, then we will no longer be pushed around by the bigger races and can finally live peacefully. To the west is the Zora Domain, but they've been recently cursed by a witch from Terran to have eternal storms. With their weakness to electricity, it makes it tough for them to get around. To the south is a group known as Mecha Star. They're a bunch of machines. I dunno where they even came from. To the north are the two mountains. Mt. Chill and Mt. Vul. On Mt. Chill, the Verians live in Terran. They've all got animal ears and stuff. That's where that witch came from. Mt. Vul is where the Manaketes live. They can turn into dragons. I think that's everyone though..."

"So why are they fighting?"

"I...just told you. Because the winner gets the entirety of Hyruje."

"Cool, dude." Dave leaves the forest, leading the others back to the field. They then head off toward Mt. Chill. It's pretty cold here.

Actually, it's getting uncomfortably cold. For Hope, anyway. She's shivering. Dave, Fox, and Falco seem perfectly fine, however. Their suits seem to have the ability to regulate temperature and keep them from freezing to death. Hope's armor seems to have the opposite affect, making her colder.

Is hope the one we call rage onion?

Everyone huddles around Hope, hugging her, but it seems that the warmth of the suits only works for the ones wearing it. Which...makes sense, thinking about it now. Hope is still shivering from the cold. She probably won't last long like this without freezing to death. She'll either have to head back or find something to keep herself warm.

Hope leaves the area and returns to the open field, standing by where the elevator was, all alone. She notices a mechanical, octopus-like creature running around not far from her. It doesn't seem to have noticed her.

Dave, Fox, and Falco head over to Terran, unhindered by the cold weather. As they reach the wall, a couple of knights stop them. They seem to have cat ears and tails. "Hold it right there. I haven't seen you around before. State your business!"

Wait couldn't hopes rage help keep her warm?

Anyways what about Hope going to Kakorote Village for now?

Oh and what Crow had the other 3 say is fine
