Fi sleeps in the blade at the end. That is the same sword spirit from her own page, not a second character. Skyward Strike is the charged rising cut that several bosses reflect or demand.
People searching “incomplete Master Sword” are usually on the white sword or the longsword and waiting for the next flame. The flames are Farore, then Nayru, then Din, in dungeon order. Doing them “early” is not a route the story offers.
The progression begins with the Goddess Sword from the chamber under the statue on Skyloft. Farore’s Flame in the Ancient Cistern makes the Goddess Longsword; Nayru’s Flame on the Sandship creates the Goddess White Sword; Din’s Flame after Fire Sanctuary produces the Master Sword. Zelda’s blessing in the past completes the True Master Sword. These names describe successive forms of the same blade, rather than optional weapons bought from a shop. Fi remains associated with that blade throughout the journey, and the final scene returns it to the pedestal in the Temple of Hylia. The main dungeon order therefore also gives the complete sword upgrade order from its Goddess form to the final blessed blade.
