Chapter 7: The Onslaught

The Sages all floated in their crystal cages in Ganondorf’s and Emralda’s throne room. They had been trapped for a little while now and had been there for a while also. But Ganondorf and Emralda still didn’t show their faces. They were oddly absent, and the Sages were worried. Even Darunia, probably one of the toughest, strongest beings in Hyrule, had fear in his eyes.

Saria just sat weeping in her crystal. She had been taken right from her best friend’s grasp, and missed him terribly. She thought of all the Kokiri Children who were probably in complete panic. She had been gone for quite some time, and the worst was that they had no idea whatsoever of what was happening. She worried about what would happen if someone attacked the village. The Children wouldn’t stand a chance, without her, they’d be doomed. She now thought of Link, who was now at the risk of being captured by Ganondorf and Emralda since all the Sages were captured. She thought of everything, and kept crying.

Impa was just sitting brooding. She was worried about Zelda, and felt terrible knowing that she couldn’t protect her at all. All those years when Zelda was a child, Impa practically took care of her like her mother. Watching over her, putting her to sleep, protecting her from all harm and teaching her the ways of life. She loved Zelda very much, and could never stand to see anything happen to her. She closed her eyes, and a tear dripped out of one. “But I cannot protect her now” she whispered to herself, “right now she’s got two people to protect her, and two who are even better than me. A strong man, and a courageous boy. The two who love her, and will make sure at all costs she stays safe…………..Link and Mirren…….”

Ganondorf and Emralda finally entered the room. They were both smiling wickedly, and Emralda was now wearing a different robe other than her royal purple one. It was a dark green, but like before had golden stripes with rubies attached to them. The Sages instantly broke away from their trances and thoughts, and stared at the evil brother and sister. They still only smiled.

“Ahhhh….the Sages trapped within my grasp and at my mercy….” jeered Ganondorf, “this is truly something I’ve always wanted ever since you six fools trapped me in the Sacred Realm all those years ago when I fought Link and Zelda. Now you’re all mine and Emralda’s; your powers are ours!!” Ganondorf laughed sinisterly. The Sages looked a little confused.

“I can see you don’t understand what my brother just told you….” she began, “but I can elaborate for you. Ya see, we’ve already captured your powers. On your way here, we took them right then and there. So at this point, you have no powers at all; because I and Ganondorf have them!!!” Impa sneered

“You may have us now you two, but you won’t get any of the others!” she shouted, “Link will protect them all from you……and especially Mirren also. They’ll make sure no one is captured by you two evil, vile demons!” Emralda smirked.

“That is where you are wrong Impa, Sage of Shadow” she replied, “because not either one of them will be stopping our forces to save any of Mirren’s friends and loved ones. And our forces will be incredibly powerful believe me. In fact, we’ll be going ourselves! But that isn’t our greatest plan; one of Mirren’s friends will actually be capturing a couple himself after we posses!” All the Sages gasped. Nabooru gritted her teeth.

“You sick, foul fools…” she began, “you’re nothing but pure evil you don’t deserve to even live! Ganondorf grinned from Nabooru’s insult.

“Heh, say what you want, but Mirren won’t have the heart to stop the one we’re going to posses, and besides, he’ll probably lose anyways. And that person will also have the job to kill two of Mirren’s best friends. Oh, if you’re wondering, that person shall also capture Zelda. Even if Link and Mirren love her and have crushes on her, they’ll be no way they can stop her from being captured!” Ganondorf laughed wickedly again and began to walk off.
“We must go now Sages” Emralda stated, “We’re going to start our plan now. It’s past midnight, so it’s the day we planned to attack. First we’re gonna send our troops out, then we’ll posses Mirren’s one friend, and then go there ourselves to pick up anything they didn’t complete!” Emralda now laughed herself and followed her brother. The Sages just sat thunderstruck at the evil plan they had concocted. They all wee incredibly worried, but Impa looked terrified. Ruto noticed it instantly.

“Impa, what’s wrong?” she asked. The other Sages turned to her as Impa began to come around and speak.

“That person they’re gonna posses….” she began, “the one who’s gonna kill Mirren’s two friends and capture Zelda……..if it’s who I think it is…..then Mirren will be literally broken in half………”

* * * * *

Everything was quiet at Hyrule Castle. Everyone realized it was past midnight, and that it was technically the day that Emralda and Ganondorf were going to attack. Everyone was in a different place in the castle. Faria and Nepsana were both in the feast hall. Taursus, Jarlis, and Mardera were in the gardens. Zelda was in the throne room. Link was in the great hall, and Mirren was in his room.

Even if they had someone with them, everyone seemed afraid. They were all very worried. They knew how powerful Ganondorf and Emralda were, and that it’d probably be Mirren and Link’s greatest challenge to protect everyone. They were all silent. Barely anyone had said everything. There were just no words that anyone could think of that might ease the situation. The moment was tense and fearful; everyone just kept quiet and kept on thinking.

Link stood in the great hall. He had never seemed so serious in his entire life. His eyes were narrow, and his face stern. He looked more fierce and determined rather than scared, but deep down; he was worse than everyone else. He had also never been so fearful in his entire life.

He feared so much for everyone. He feared for Mardera. He feared for Jarlis. He feared for Taursus. He feared for Nepsana. He feared for Faria. He feared for himself. But worst of all, he feared for Zelda and Mirren. Even though he and Zelda had technically broken up, he still had that feeling inside of himself that he should go back to her. He still had that feeling that he loved her.

He feared for Mirren because he remembered how much Mirren suffered the first time when Ganondorf and Emralda took them. He knew Mirren had already suffered seeing the Sages captured and having Goldenfire die right before his eyes. He was still young, he was still a kid, so all of this would be ten times worse than it would be on Link. He hated to ever see his own little brother suffer. He loved him, and even though they had only known each other for a couple months, they felt as close as they would if they had known each other for their entire lives.

He stood there still thinking, and suddenly, he felt some odd urge go through his body. It spread throughout it, and he screamed in pain. It was like nothing he had ever felt, it was such a sensation that you couldn’t even describe it. He felt pains all over his body, and it felt like some force was pushing its way into his mind. He clutched his head, and still roared in pain. He fell down to his knees, and kept on screaming.

He couldn’t stop it whatever it was, he knew something why trying to take over his body; but unfortunately he couldn’t stop it. Slowly, he felt he was losing control of his body, and his blue eyes began to turn into that of blood red. His blonde hair then also changed to a shining silver color, and he suddenly felt a sinister urge within him. The pain stopped, and he got up. He was breathing heavily from exhaustion. A black and purple portal then appeared in front of him as he recuperated. It glowed fiercely, and Ganondorf and Emralda jumped out with sinister smiles on their faces.

“Well my brother, it seems we’ve correctly possessed Link………perfect!” she exclaimed. Ganondorf laughed wickedly.

“I know Emralda, it is” he added, “now, Link…..as your rulers, we want you to go and capture Zelda. If it’s necessary, wound her or knock her unconscious. She can be a feisty one at times, but she’ll probably just act like the damsel she is and call Mirren for help since you’ll be the one capturing her. Take her through a portal and drop her off at our citadel. Once you’ve done that, return here and kill Faria, your work will be done……” Emralda looked a little confused from her brother’s words.

“But Ganondorf, what about Nepsana?” she asked Ganondorf smirked.

“I realized that she’s not really that huge of a friend to Mirren, so it’s like why waste the time to kill her when we can kill another, closer person to Mirren……” he replied.

“Who will that be?” shed inquired again.

“You’ll see soon, I promise” he answered. He then turned back to Link. “Now Link, capture Zelda, and kill Faria. Do you understand the plan?” Link still stared down at the floor for a few seconds before lifting his head up. He had evil glee in his blood red eyes, and a diabolical smile.

“Yes master……” he replied in a devilish voice. The possessed Link then turned and walked away. He left the great hall and began to walk to the throne room to get Zelda. Ganondorf stood smiling wickedly.

“And now…..the attack begins…….”


* * * * *

Link walked down the hallways with that same evil look and smile on his face. He was totally unable to break the spell on him, and he was now pure evil. He had taken out the Biggoron’s Sword and kept on walking. For the first time ever in his entire life, he actually thought of the pleasure he’d get from scaring Zelda, threatening her life, and capturing her for Ganondorf and Emralda. He smirked at the thought of her frightened and terrified expression on her face, and the fact that there’d be no one to save her. He kept on walking, and he soon came to one of the doors to the throne room. He opened it up, and walked in.

“Zelda……” he said in his devilish voice as usual. Zelda turned from where she was standing, and looked happy in a way to see Link.

“Oh Link…..it’s……” She was about to say more, but she instantly just froze in shock. She saw Link with the Biggoron’s Sword, and also saw his new red eyes and silver hair. She saw his evil face, and slowly began to back off. Her mouth dropped right down from shock, and she looked thunderstruck. “Link…..is that you………?” The possessed Link smiled sinisterly.

“It’s me Zelda” he replied, “I’ve been possessed by Ganondorf and Emralda.” Zelda gasped as her eyes widened in shock.

“They….what?” she asked. Link seemed to take a liking to Zelda’s shock.

“That’s right Zelda, I’m evil now, I work for them…..” he said. Zelda still looked shocked, but soon shook her head and narrowed her eyes.

“No!” she exclaimed, “this isn’t you Link! You’re not the Link I know. You may be possessed, and it may be your body……but it’s definitely not the Hero of Time that saved me four years ago!” Link smirked and jumped at Zelda. She gasped in shock and fear as he put his hand around her neck. She froze in fear, and just gasped continuously from it. Link smiled.

“They ordered me to capture you and take you to their citadel….” He announced, “and there’s no one to stop me……”

* * * * *

Mirren stood looking out his bedroom window over Hyrule. He felt just as worried as Link, and it was in a way worse since his and Zelda’s birthday had the chance to be ruined. They could both be killed, and he knew it. He knew how strong Ganondorf and Emralda now were, and if they captured everyone else, they’d almost be invincible. He knew he had the Triforce of Justice; but what could even it do against three other pieces of the Triforce, all of his friends’ powers, and all the Sages powers? He lowered his head as he still worried of everything…..but then his eyes instantly bugged out when he saw a legion of monsters marching into Hyrule Castle. He saw Moblins, Monblins, Dinolfos, and Stalfos everywhere. He then knew what was happening.

“They’re attacking……” he whispered in shock and fear. He suddenly heard Zelda scream, and he instantly spun around. He could tell by the scream that Zelda was in trouble, and he knew he better get there fast. He narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. “I’m coming Zelda!!!!” he yelled, and pulled out the Goddesses’ Sword. He bolted out of his room and took off down the hallways to the throne room. “Don’t worry Zelda, I’m coming” he said to himself in his head, “and if I don’t get there, Link will surly be there to protect you………”

* * * * *

Taursus, Jarlis, and Mardera were fighting all the beats that were attacking the castle. Taursus had pulled out his war-hammer and axe, and was battling greatly and fiercely. He jumped at the Stalfos, and began to hack away at the numerous amount. He screamed in rage and slammed his axe into one’s shield. It cut it right in half and destroyed the Stalfos’s left arm. The skeleton warrior backed off in fright, and Taursus lunged right at him and crushed his skull to bits with his war-hammer. Another then tried to attack him from behind, but in one swift movement, Taursus spun around and threw his axe at it. It cut right through the Stalfos, and it just fell apart.

Mardera was surrounded by numerous Dinolfos, but she was amazing having no trouble at all. A couple had attacked her from the sides, but she simply jumped up and performed and split kick that knocked them both flat. One screeched and jumped at her. It brought its sword down, but parried it with one scimitar, and skewered it with the other. One attacked from behind, but the Gerudo turned around and threw the Dinolfos off her blade. The large lizard warrior smashed into the other, and knocked it out cold. The remaining four then realized they’d get no where attacking one at a time, so they all roared and lunged at her. They each got their blades ready, and were about to slice her into pieces. Unfortunately for them though, Mardera had seen this coming, and quickly found a way to eliminate them. She got in a special stance, and when the Dinolfos got a couple feet away from her, she did a great spin attack. She felt her blades slice through the beasts’ skin, and when she stopped, they all lay dead bleeding from their scimitar wounds.

Jarlis had been taking on the Moblins and Moblins the whole time, and also wasn’t having much trouble. One Moblin went for a thrust to gore Jarlis through, but Jarlis side-stepped and did a thrust of his own to the Moblin’s stomach. The end of his staff dug into his stomach, and the Moblin gasped in pain before lowering his head. Another Moblin rushed at them, and Jarlis charged up an energy shot. He fired it off, and it rocketed the dead Moblin into the other. It smacked right into him, and they both crashed to the ground, shaking it. Yet another Moblin tried his luck to finish off Jarlis, but the boy did an energy slash with his staff, and killed it. He took the moment to rest, but unfortunately it wasn’t a good time to do that. At that second, a Monblin had brought his massive war-club onto the ground, and sent a shockwave flying right at Jarlis. It hit him from behind, and knocked him down. He yelled in pain, and the Monblin smiled evilly. He roared, and ran at the downed Jarlis. He raised his club behind his head, and was ready to crush him into a bloody pulp. Jarlis saw this coming though, and was just able to evade the attack. The club smashed into the ground, and for the moment got stuck. The Monblin tried to pull it out in time; but it was too late. Jarlis pointed his staff at the Monblin, and shot an energy blast at it. It soared from the staff, and hit the Monblin directly in the face. He hollowed in pain, and dropped his war-club as he fell to the ground dead.

After a little more fighting, the remaining beasts realized they didn’t stand a chance against them, and retreated from the castle. Taursus grinned as he watched them run away, and sighed with relief.

“Well, we got them good” he stated, “at least we were able to drive them off.” Mardera smirked.

“Yeah, those guys were sooooo weak” she added. Jarlis nodded, but looked a little more serious.

“That’s true, but right now we’ve got a problem…..” Mardera and Taursus now looked the same way.

“Yeah…….this means that Ganondorf and Emralda have officially attacked” Taursus whispered.

“And they’re going to finally be going after us…….” Mardera said. Jarlis now narrowed his eyes and sneered.

“Well I’ll tell ya one thing…..” he began, “I’m not lettin’ a single one of those fools get me!” Suddenly there were two evil laughs heard around them; one male….one female. The three warriors looked a little confused, but turned around. They all instantly froze. It was Ganondorf and Emralda.

“Well isn’t this great, two of the people we’ve planned to capture” stated Ganondorf. Jarlis looked a little confused.

“Two people?” he asked. Emralda grinned and brought her staff up. The crystal-like emerald at the top glowed in power, and she fired a beam of energy from it. It came flying out of the emerald, and soared towards the Taursus and the others. They all gasped as the beam got closer. It then finally found its target; and went right through Jarlis’s stomach. He gasped in pain, and his face went pale as his eyes widened in shock. Mardera and Taursus froze, and their mouths both dropped. Jarlis hung in mid-air for a second as the beam slowly faded, and he closed his eyes. He fell to the ground; he was dead. Taursus and Mardera were thunderstruck. They just stood there gazing at Jarlis’s dead body as they trembled. Emralda smiled diabolically.

“Like my brother said, two people to capture……” she announced, “you should feel lucky, we’re only capturing you now. That kid had to die right now, and there’s still one more of Mirren’s friends we must kill instead of capture.” Taursus and Mardera looked like they had seen a ghost. Ganondorf smirked.

“Well fools, have fun at our citadel, and don’t worry, your powers will be taken from you on the way there, so when we kill Mirren’s other friend and confront him face to face, we’ll have your energy added to ours!!!” They were both then trapped by the same crystal prisons that the Sages were captured in. They both looked around in confusion, and pressed against to see what they were. The crystals then floated up into the sky, and the last things Taursus and Mardera saw were the smiling, wicked faces of Ganondorf and Emralda.

“Well, they’re gone, and the kid’s dead, what should we do now Ganondorf?” asked Emralda. He smirked.

“Let’s just wait” he answered, “I mean, Link is probably already at Zelda, and Mirren should get there any moment now. Nepsana and Faria should show up soon, and we can watch Link fight them all. Once he kills Faria, he’ll take Zelda to our castle, along with Nepsana. Then we’ll confront Mirren and explain all of this. We’ll show him his dead friend, and he’ll probably break down in tears knowing he’s lost his third friend. Then we’ll leave him to suffer; that is, unless you want to kill right then and there…..” Emralda smiled wickedly.

“Sounds like a good idea to me……..” she replied.

* * * * *

Mirren felt like he had never ran so fast in his life, but he knew it was for one heck of a good reason. By that one scream of Zelda, he knew that there was trouble, and he needed to help her. He gritted his teeth at the thought that Ganondorf and Emraldaing were attacking now, but he kept on running and soon came to the same door where the possessed Link had entered. He busted right through it, and saw Link with his hand around Zelda’s neck. He saw her terrified face, and could see that she was trembling. Even though it was his own brother, he screamed in fury and rushed at him from the side. The possessed Link turned just in time to see him, but Mirren still dove at him and rammed his shoulder straight into Link’s stomach. He puffed from the immense force of Mirren’s ram, and crashed into the ground. His grasp on Zelda’s neck was released, and she fell down to her knees. Mirren got up as he looked at his brother with rage in his eyes.

“What the heck do you think you were doing Link……..” he said before he froze. He finally noticed the silver hair, the blood red eyes, and the expression of pure evil on his older brother’s face. His mouth dropped as he gasped in complete shock. “What…..happened to you…….?” He asked. Zelda now began to cry a little.

“Ganondorf and Emralda possessed him Mirren!” she yelled, “he has no control over the darkness they put in him, he’s evil now!! They’re making him kill one of your friends and capture me!” Mirren gasped again, and he slowly backed off as his evil brother got to his feet as he smiled evilly.

“Well said Zelda…..” he added, “that right my little brother, they possessed me, and I’m under their control right now. You can’t stop me, I’m even more powerful with this evil energy. Shocked I see? I’m not surprised, it must hurt to see your older brother whom you love so much be a devil like now……” Link laughed quietly and wickedly, and Mirren looked thunderstruck.

“No….it’s impossible…..” he whispered. Link laughed again but louder.

“Well, you certainly are suffering from this” he jeered, “perfect….just as they wanted…..” Mirren felt like crying at that point. It hurt him so much to see his brother that way, and it was the same for Zelda, except she already was crying, and was at the risk of being captured by him. Link smiled evilly. “Now my little brother, be a good boy and just let me take Zelda” he commanded, “then I can come back and kill your other friend, then I won’t have to hurt you, Ganondorf and Emralda can just deal with you…..” Zelda began to tremble from fear again, and she looked as afraid as ever. Mirren suddenly broke out of his trance knowing Zelda was in big trouble, and narrowed his eyes. He grasped the Goddesses’ Sword, and got in front of Zelda in a battle stance.

“Come and get her…..” he said quietly but scornfully. The possessed Link smirked.

“Hmmm….you really think you can stop me?” he asked cockily, “boy….you’re really arrogant my brother. You don’t stand a chance against me. I’m much too powerful. Besides, me and Zelda at one time loved each other, and we’re still the best of friends, and the good Link probably still loves her, but just won’t admit it after they broke up. The same is probably for Zelda. We’d make the perfect couple to do this…..” Mirren sneered at him as he moved closer to Zelda. She clutched the back of his turtleneck.

“Please don’t let him hurt me Mirren…..I’m afraid…..” she whispered.

“Don’t worry Zelda, I won’t let this demon take you” he reassured. Link let out a sinister laugh.

“Heh, well you certainly are determined to protect her Mirren……” he taunted, “You don’t…like her, do you?” Mirren was a little nervous inside at the fact that Link was pointing at something that was true, but he just glared at him. Link only grinned. “Because if you did that’d be trouble since her and the good Link still probably like each other, but as said before, are just too afraid…..” Tears rolled down Zelda’s cheeks, and Mirren narrowed his eyes even more.

“Shut your mouth you fool” he sneered, “I know they broke up and are right now just friends. But if they really still do like each other, that’s nothing you shoulder consider your business. It’s the Link we know, the one who would never act this evil who might love her. You’re just some devil……” Link laughed again.

“Well, you’re certainly quite a kid” he replied, “but no matter how brave you act right now, no matter how mature you may sound saying things like that, and most of all no matter how much you really want to protect Zelda; I’ll still capture her……” Zelda trembled again. And Link got the Biggoron’s Sword in position for an attack. Suddenly Nepsana and Faria ran into the throne room, and instantly ran over to Mirren and Zelda.

“What’s wrong Mirren?” asked Nepsana. Mirren didn’t take his eyes off the possessed Link as he spoke to Nepsana.

“Ganondorf and Emralda have possessed Link, and he’s here to capture Zelda and kill one of my friends!” he answered. Nepsans gasped, but Faria just narrowed her eyes.

“I won’t let you take my sister!!!” she shouted. Link grinned.

“Oh really?” he asked raising an eyebrow, “well, it looks like I’ve got a little defense to fight through before I can get to Zelda. Not like it matters though, ‘cause I’ll kill all you!!!” Mirren gritted his teeth.

“I won’t let you do anymore!!!!” he screamed, “I’ll stop you and find a way to get rid of you!! I know you’re some devil-spirit who’s taken over Link’s body. He’s trapped inside of himself and can’t escape your evil clutches! It’s not him doing all of this……it’s you ya devil!!!!” Mirren looked enraged as ever, and the possessed Link still grinned.

“Very good kid, you’re correct” he replied, “I am only a dark spirit, and your brother is trapped. But it doesn’t matter still because I now control his body and actions!!!” Mirren screamed in rage and ran at Link, and Nepsand followed with her pike.

Mirren jumped at Link, and performed a jumping slash. Link blocked it with the Biggoron’s Sword, and went for a sweep of it to slice Mirren’s head off. Mirren saw it just in time, and ducked. At that moment, Mirren dove at him and went for a stab to his side. Link pulled the blade back to him and lowered it just in time to block Mirren’s attack. They grappled for a second as Link smiled evilly and as Mirren gritted his teeth. With Link distracted, Nepsana rushed in and did a slash across Link’s face with her pike. The possessed Link grunted in pain and was knocked back a few feet. He staggered, and Mirren ran at him. He yelled in rage, and was about to attack before Link suddenly shot a beam of dark energy from the blade. It hit Mirren directly and sent him flying. Nepsana gasped in shock and watched as Mirren soared across the room. Link noticed she wasn’t paying attention and ran at her. He lifted the Biggoron’s Sword behind his head, and did a vertical slash across her shoulder. She screamed in pain, and was knocked down as her wound opened up and bled. Faria and Zelda gasped in shock. Nepsana groaned in pain, and Link put his blade to her neck.

“I wasn’t meant to kill you, there’s still another person, but I think Ganondorf and Emralda would be pleased at that. After all….Mirren would certainly be crushed to see you die….” He said. He then lifted the blade up, and just before he was about to bring it down, Zelda and Faria shot their golden energy beams. They both struck him, and he roared in pain as they pounded him with power. The light energy in them burned at his darkness, and weakened him pretty badly. They finally stopped the attacks, and the possessed Link let out one groan of pain before collapsing. He dropped the Biggoron’s Sword, and Nepsana crawled away from him taking her pike. Zelda and Faria ran over to her and helped her to her feet.

“Are you okay Nepsana?” asked Faria. She nodded.

“Yeah, I’m fine” she answered, “my wound isn’t that bad.” Zelda nodded back to her.

“Okay, now to see Mirren….” She began before Mirren walked up behind them clutching his left arm.

“Don’t worry ‘bout me Zelda, I’m fine” he said. Faria smiled.

“Good, at least you two aren’t seriously hurt” she stated. Link slowly got up as he still grunted in pain.

“Heads up guys, he’s coming back…..” Nepsana announced. Everyone looked to him as he grabbed the Biggoron’s Sword. He breathed heavily as he stood on his hands and feet, but he soon got up completely and smiled evilly.

“Nice attack girls” he complimented, “it actually hurt me. You’re energy will be great for Ganondorf and Emralda….” Zelda narrowed her eyes.

“We’re not going anywhere, yes I’m still afraid, but I’ve got Mirren to protect me, and Faria and Nepsana to help him” she said. Link smirked.

“You really put a lot of trust into him” he began, “you must really like him. Heh, it’ll be great then when I take you through that portal to Ganondorf and Emralda’s citadel.” Mirren narrowed his eyes.

“Even if you’re in my brother’s body, I’ll still do anything to protect Zelda” he spat back, “even if I must seriously hurt him, considering it’s not him I’m fighting.” Link smirked again.

“Then why don’t you stop me from capturing her…..” he taunted. Mirren sneered and got in a battle stance.

“You guys stay back, I’m gonna fight him alone” he announced. He then yelled in fury and ran at Link. He went for a vertical slash, but Link blocked it. He went for a cut, but Link also blocked that. He then went for a slice, but Link once again raised the Biggoron’s Sword and blocked this. He smiled evilly as they grappled, and he kicked Mirren square in the stomach. Mirren grunted in pain and collapsed to his knees. Everyone else gasped, and Zelda put her hand over her mouth. Link smiled diabolically as Mirren rived in pain and clutched his wounded stomach. Link moved closer as he laughed quietly. Just as he was only a few feet from him, Mirren suddenly sprang up and went for a stab. It was about to dig into Link’s chest, but he lifted up the Biggoron’s Sword at the last second and blocked it. He grinned evilly, and Mirren sneered but was still amazed at how Link blocked it.

“I bet you didn’t expect that to happen” he jeered, “I told you that you couldn’t fight me. You’re only fighting a losing battle. You should’ve just let me take Zelda, ‘cause you wouldn’t be getting hurt like this….” Link then took his right and backhanded Mirren across the face. Mirren grunted in pain and hit the ground hard as his face throbbed. Zelda gasped again as a couple tears formed in her eyes. Link saw it, and took pleasure in seeing it. “Oh, so it hurts you to see Mirren get hurt does it?” he asked mockingly, “well, how do like seeing this?” Link then lifted up his right foot and brought it down onto Mirren’s unprotected chest. He screamed in pain, and everyone gasped.

“Mirreeeennnn!!!!” Zelda yelled as tears rolled down her face. Link smiled at how much Zelda was hurt by it, and applied more power and moved his foot around. Mirren yelled in pain again. It felt like rocks being pressed as hard as possible onto his rib cage, and he was for sure he heard a couple crack. Zelda fell down to her knees as she still cried.

“Please…..please Link stop!” she yelled, “come on Link! You’re hurting your own little brother. Break that devil’s grasp off of you!” The possessed Link smirked.

“You can say whatever you want Zelda, but I ain’t stoppin’, even if he’s my brother” he said, and brought his foot up. Everyone watched at that tense moment as Link smiled evilly and once again brought his foot down. It crashed right onto Mirren’s rib-cage, and he once again screamed in agony. He felt his ribs break, and he yelled in pain like he had never before.

“Mirren! No!!!” Zelda screamed as even more tears poured from her eyes. Nepsana’s eyes lit up with rage, and she had watched enough. She hadn’t known him for long, but Mirren was easily one of her best friends. He had saved her from the Moblins, protected her in the battle with Varnash, invited him to Hyrule Castle to live, and considered her his friend before anyone else. She got in a stance and grasped her pike. She looked for a good place to attack, and in an instant charged at Link. She screamed in fury, and pulled her pike back. She lunged at him from the side, and did a thrust into his left leg. The sharp point at the top of her pike drove into his skin, and bloodied it. Link roared in pain, and instantly took his foot off Mirren. He pulled his leg out of the pike, and clutched his bleeding wound with one hand while he still held the Biggoron’s Sword with the other. The blood stained his white tights, and he groaned in pain as he knelt down. Nepsana had no sympathy for him. She lunged at him again and was ready for another attack.

“You’ll pay for what you did to Mirren!” she screamed, and went for a vertical slash with the battle-axe part of her pike. It came falling down, and seemed like it was about to connect with Link’s left shoulder. But suddenly, he lifted up his hand, and blocked the hit. Nepsana gasped, and her mouth dropped. Zelda and Faria were shocked at what they had seen. He had used the Golden Gauntlet part to block the shot so he didn’t feel any pain. Link smiled evilly.

“I guess those gauntlets can do more than just give me strength….” He announced. Nepsana froze, and Link pointed the Biggoron’s Sword at her. It glowed with a black light, and soon shot a blast of dark energy from it. It hit Nepsana head on, and sent her flying with a yell of pain. She landed hard on the stone floor, and groaned from the hit. Link got up on his feet, and seemed like the wound Nepsana gave him didn’t even bother him anymore. “Foolish girl” he said, “never try to kill me……because you’ll only walk into your own death….” He then rose up the Biggoron’s Sword again, and it began to glow with power. “Say goodbye Nepsana!!!!” He was then about to fire off the blast of dark energy, but suddenly he heard Mirren scream. He turned, and saw Mirren holding the Fire Diamond, and a huge blast of fire was coming straight at him. He froze, and watched helplessly as Mirren yelled from the power surge and as the fire got closer. It soon did, and it struck him directly. It burned his entire body, and now made him scream in pain as he was sent flying across the room. He landed on the ground and rolled a little ways before stopping. He groaned in pain, and still burned a little from the blaze. Mirren lay on his back breathing heavily as he still held the Fire Diamond. Zelda and Faria sighed with relief. Zelda also almost seemed to smile.

“Good” she said in her head, “that should keep him down for a while.” She put her hands on her heart and closed her eyes as she said this, but she suddenly heard something. He opened her eyes in a flash, and she and Faria froze. Link was getting up. Faria’s mouth dropped.

“No way” she whispered from complete shock, “he’s getting right back up…..” Zelda couldn’t believe it either, and watched in as he got on his feet. He was holding the Biggoron’s Sword, and lowered his head as he breathed heavily. But he soon lifted it up and smiled wickedly. Mirren also froze, but he froze in fear unlike Zelda and Faria. Link looked right at him. He then began advancing towards him. Mirren’s heart pounded like never before, and he trembled as he dropped the Fire Diamond. Link was soon looming over him with the same evil smile, and he grabbed Mirren by the throat. He lifted him up in the air, and pointed the Biggoron’s Sword at his neck. Zelda watched in terror as she saw what Link was doing. He turned to her.

“Well Zelda, it looks like your little boy’s death gets to happen right before your eyes!” he taunted, and laughed devilishly. Tears once again formed in Zelda eyes, and the same went for Faria. The tears in Zelda’s eyes dripped down her face and cascaded on the floor.

“No…..please don’t….” she pleaded. Link smiled diabolically and turned to Mirren.

“Well my little brother, have any last words before your own older brother kills you?” he asked. Mirren groaned a little, but opened his eyes and looked at Link.

“You might think I’d be crushed knowing that my brother is about to kill me; but I’m not” he began. Link looked a little surprised. “Yeah, I’m not sad at all. You’re not my brother. You’re just some evil spirit. It may be Link’s body you’re using to kill me, it may be Link’s mind you’re possessing, but it’s not Link himself. It’s not my older brother whom I love and who loves me. It’s just you, some devil. And I’d never be crushed because you’re killing me. It’s not Link who’s doing it, so it doesn’t bother me.” Tears now formed in Mirren’s eyes and rolled down his cheeks. Link suddenly felt a change in him, and the evil spirit possessing him began to feel weakened. “I just wish though, I could’ve seen my older brother before I die” Mirren said, “I just wish I could’ve said something to him before I left. It would’ve been great say goodbye to my brother, and tell him I love him, and would always remember him……” All of sudden the evil spirit inside Link began to diminish. Slowly, a great blackness began to leave Link’s body and disappear in the air around him. His silver hair began to turn blonde, his red eyes began to go back to their normal blue, and the evilness on his face began to vanish. Soon he was back to his normal self, and a shadow figure suddenly left his body and flew away with anger in his red eyes. Zelda’s eyes lit up as she saw Link back in his good, non-possessed form, and now tears of joy came from her eyes. Link knew what had happened. He remembered first being possessed, and he knew that Mirren’s tears and love for him was what weakened the evil spirit and allowed him to escape its clutches. He didn’t know anything of the battle, but he could feel the pain of his wounds, and realized there had been a battle by looking around him. He looked at Mirren, who still had tears in his eyes, and smiled.

“I’m sorry Mirren…..” he whispered. Mirren still looked a little surprised by Link changing, but he soon just buried his face in Link’s chest and began to cry. Link no longer held him by the neck with one hand. He dropped the Biggoron’s Sword and held his little brother up as he embraced him with both arms. He hugged him as Mirren still cried, and smiled at him. Zelda now smiled, and so did Faria. They were both now shedding tears of joy now that Link was back to his old self, and the battle was over. Nepsana had also got up, and smiled through her pain as she saw Link hold his brother and as Mirren cried in his chest.

It was a happy moment then, Link was no longer possessed, the battle was over, and Mirren was shedding tear after tear in happiness that his brother was back. Everyone smiled at the two, but suddenly, a black and purple portal appeared by Zelda and Faria, and they all were surprised by it. Then Emralda and Ganondorf all of sudden appeared, and Emralda smiled wickedly as she pointed her staff at Link. The diamond shaped emerald at the top was glowing greatly, and she fired out a beam of energy from it. Link heard it coming, and out of the corner of his eye saw everything. He tightened his grip on Mirren, and prepared to take the force of the hit in that split second. It struck him square in the back, and he screamed in agony as it burned him and pounded him with dark energy. Zelda screamed his name as he fell to his knees, and finally collapsed all the way. He closed his eyes as he let go of Mirren, and he was unconscious. Mirren landed on the ground, and groaned a little from the fall. He was confused by what just happen, and looked forward. Instantly, his reddened eyes were filled with fear. His jaw dropped, and he froze in terror. He saw Ganondorf and Emralda standing there, and Link on the ground before him smoking from the hit and unconscious. Ganondorf smiled evilly.

“Good to see you again boy” he began, “it’s been a while hasn’t it?” Everyone in the room was thunderstruck by what they were seeing. Nepsana, Zelda, and Faria also froze, and looked like they had seen a ghost. Zelda then noticed that Ganondorf was holding Jarlis by the back of his robe.

“What…..did you do to…..him…..?” she asked fearfully. Ganondorf grinned diabolically as he turned to her. He stared her in the eye, and simply threw Jarlis’s lifeless body to Mirren.

“We killed him…….” He answered. Mirren gasped, and his face began to grow pale. He stared down at his friend’s dead body, and couldn’t believe what was happening. A couple tears rolled down his face, and the others looked on in horror. Emralda now began to speak.

“Yes, that was part of our plan…..” she said, “we’ve already captured Taursus, and Mardera, and then we killed him. All we have to do now is capture these three fools since Link is no longer possessed………” Faria looked a little confused.

“Three?” she asked. Ganondorf grinned and threw his hand out. Instantly Nepsana and Zelda were trapped in two crystal chambers, and Link rose up into the air, and another surrounded his unconscious body. The only one who wasn’t trapped besides Mirren…..was Faria. She looked around in confusion as Zelda and Nepsana did the same, only in fear and worry. Ganondorf then began advancing towards Faria, and she began to cower and cringe in fear. The Scourge of Hyrule had a wicked smile on his face, and he was soon standing over Faria. He bent down and picked up by the throat. He then turned to Mirren.

“We have other plans for this little girl……..” he explained. Mirren’s eyes widened in shock.

“No…….please don’t tell me…….” He whispered. Ganondorf grinned, and suddenly sent numerous dark bolts of energy coursing through Faria’s body. She screamed in pain as the bolts burned her entire body, and Ganondorf kept on sending more and more into her through his hand. It was a new power he had gained from the incredible energy o the Sages, and it was one which was very powerful. Zelda watched in horror as her little sister endured the incredible pain, but suddenly Faria stopped screaming. Her entire body went limp, and she bowed her head. Ganondorf stopped the attack, and through Faria’s dead and charred body on the ground. Tears dripped from Zelda’s eyes, and she finally lost it.

“Faria! No!!!” she sobbed, and then at that moment broke down and began to cry terribly. Mirren lay on the ground frozen in shock, and tears also came from his eyes. He couldn’t believe that he had just watched Faria die right before his eyes, and seeing Zelda sob so terribly for her dead little sister hurt him terribly. He got up on his knees, and began to move his arm out forwards.

“Faria……” he whispered. His arm trembled, and it suddenly just fell. Mirren lowered his head and then began to cry. He fell to his hands, and wept on his hands and knees. Ganondorf smiled sinisterly.

“Well Mirren, how does it feel?” he asked mockingly, “what is it like to see two of your best friends dead at this moment?” Emralda grinned wickedly.

“And what is it like knowing now you can’t do anything to stop us?” she added, “your friends are ours now, and as they travel to our citadel through that portal, their powers will be taken from them and will be ours. Your brother’s and Zelda’s Triforces will be ours, and we’ll be invincible with the great power we’ll have. Now, I say we just finish you right here…..” Ganondorf smiled diabolically.

“Sounds good to me……” he replied, and lifted his hand up as it glowed with power. Emralda then lifted her staff up, and it also glowed. They both smiled evilly as they were about to fire their attacks and kill Mirren, but suddenly a blue light surrounded Mirren’s crying body, and it teleported him away. Ganondorf and Emralda were surprised.

“What was that all about?” she asked. Ganondorf narrowed his eyes and looked a little more serious.

“Who cares?” he replied, “Let’s just take these fools outta here to our citadel.” Emralda nodded, and the crystals containing the shocked Nepsana, the weeping Zelda, and the unconscious Link all disappeared into the portal. It lit up for a few seconds as they vanished into it, and it slowly disappeared. Ganondorf smiled wickedly. “Well, our plan was certainly a success…..” he said, and he and Emralda disappeared.

One problem though. Chapter 8 is too long to fit on one post. So I gotta split ip up alright? Here's the first part I guess.

Chapter 8: Reunion with the Goddesses

Zelda finally stirred. She slowly opened her reddened eyes, and realized she was no longer in her crystal chamber, but on the hard stone floor in Ganondorf and Emralda’s throne room. Once she and the others went through the portal, she lost all consciousness for some reason. She didn’t remember ever coming to the citadel, and never being taken out of her crystal prison. The only thing she could remember was crying terribly for the dead Faria as she was brought into the portal. She finally lifted her head up, and looked around. She saw the Sages and Taursus and Mardera all in their crystal chambers, but she noticed that oddly Ganondorf and Emralda were absent. She lifted herself up onto her knees, and then noticed Link was standing in front her with his back facing her. But; he looked different. He had the same silver hair he had when he was possessed and it was even easier to see since he had no hat on. And he was wearing a black tunic just like his with many white designs on it. Zelda was a little confused at what she saw.

“Link……..?” she whispered. The Link she saw then looked around her and smiled evilly; it was the possessed Link with his evil face and blood red eyes. Zelda gasped and almost collapsed from shock. Link turned fully around, and grinned down at her. Zelda couldn’t believe it. “No…..you’re possessed again……” she whispered. Link laughed.

“No no Zelda” he began, “this isn’t the Link you know. This isn’t the Link that was possessed. I am the evil spirit that possessed him and made him do all those things. And from possessing him, I made myself look just like him, only with a few different characteristics. I’m not that the normal Link, I’m Devil Link.” Zelda gasped, and began to crawl away. Devil Link smirked and advanced over to her. He knelt down before her, and began to run his hand through her long, dark blonde hair. “You’re a beautiful woman Zelda” he said, “I’m not surprised that Link and Mirren both have crushes on you……” Zelda narrowed her eyes and tried to escape.

“Shut your mouth” she sneered, “even after we broke up, if Link still loves me, that’s nothing you should ever consider your business. And especially also with Mirren, don’t ever say anything about him; because I like him a lot better than you Devil Link!” Devil Link smirked.

“I expected something like that to come from you Zelda” he replied, “You like that kid a lot, I can see. And that little crush he has on you makes your bond with him even greater. What is it that actually makes you like that kid?” Zelda glared at Devil Link.

“He’s a brave kid who like Link would do anything to protect me” she answered, “he risked his life to save me from Ganondorf and Emralda before, and he reminds me a lot of Link. He has the innocence of a younger child, but has the maturity of an adult, and he’s the sweetest kid I’ve ever known.” Dark Link grinned.

“And is that why you even kissed him?” he jeered. Zelda had enough of Devil Link’s mocking words. She narrowed her eyes again, and lifted her hand up. She flung it at Devil Link for a slap across the face, but without even looking at it he lifted his left hand up and blocked it. He smiled evilly. “Zelda, do you know why you’re not in your crystal chamber?” he asked. Zelda shook her head. “That’s because I asked Ganondorf and Emralda not to. You’re such a beauty Zelda, you never deserve to be trapped inside a crystal.” Zelda now looked a little afraid as Devil Link moved closer to her.

“If you even think about kissing me, you better forget it….” She threatened. Devil Link smirked. He knew Zelda wouldn’t stop him, she was just trying to stop him from doing it. But there was nothing she could ever say that would stop him.

“Zelda, you’re too beautiful, I’d love for you to be all mine…..” he said, “and not Mirren or anyone else can stop me……” Devil Link grinned as he said this, and was about to kiss Zelda before someone suddenly grabbed his shoulder and spun him around. Devil Link was taken by surprise, and the second he turned around, he met a swift punch from the real Link to his face. He was sent flying, and crashed hard on the ground as his face throbbed. Link narrowed his eyes as he fixed the Golden Gauntlet on his hand.

“You said before as you possessed me that the Golden Gauntlets could be used for more than strength…..” he began, “well I’ve found that they can also make punches all the better……..” Zelda instantly jumped up and over to Link. She threw her hands around him, and Link held her close.

“Oh Link thank you……” she whispered, “thank you for stopping that sick fool……I can always count of you……” Link then took his middle and index finger and lifted her chin up. He only smiled at her. Devil Link now got up. He wiped the blood from his lips and smiled wickedly.

“Ahhhhh…so now you two are finally starting to love each other again…..” he taunted. Link’s smile disappeared as he narrowed his eyes once again.

“Be quiet you devil……” he spat back, “we broke up as lovers. We’re only friends now……..get used to it……” Devil Link smirked.

“You really think you can fool me with a crock like that?” he asked raising an eyebrow, “you’re a fool Link. I can see that love between you two. You both regret ever breaking up. You wanna make up with the other and tell them you love them once again………but you’re just too afraid….” Link gritted his teeth.

“Shut up…..” he whispered angrily. Devil Link seemed to enjoy Link’s anger.

“Ya know, you’re pretty lucky that your brother cried in our battle” he began, “because without his sadness you wouldn’t have been able to break free of my control. You were lucky that your little brother is such a cry-baby…..” Link was ready to rip Devil Link’s heart out.

“No one insults my little brother like that……..” he sneered, “…..and lives to tell of it!!!” He was just about to pull out his shield and the Master Sword, but surprisingly the Biggoron’s Sword just appeared in his hands. He looked at it with a flummoxed expression, and turned to Zelda.

“I was able to use my magic to teleport your weapon from Hyrule Castle to here” she stated, “I figured it’d help you……” Link nodded, and Devil Link laughed.

“That was very thoughtful of you Zelda, but it still doesn’t matter; I’ll kill him anyway and have you to myself once Ganondorf and Emralda kill that brat Mirren!!!” Zelda gasped at what Devil Link said about Mirren. She now feared for a second that Link now understood that Mirren also had a crush on her. But luckily Link was just too angry. He grasped the Biggoron’s Sword, and screamed in rage as he rushed at Devil Link. The evil spirit of Link smirked as Link brought the huge blade down. Devil Link simply grew out huge fingernails on his hands and lifted one up to block the sword. Link was shocked and gasped. Devil Link smiled evilly.

“How do you like that fool?” he asked, “My fingernails are now like the claws of a beast. Tell me sometime what’s it’s like to get hit by them…..” Devil Link then pushed the blade away and slashed Link across the face with the other hand. Link grunted in pain and was knocked back a few feet. He staggered for a few seconds, and fell to his knees. He felt his skin rip open on his cheek, and touched it to see how bad the wound was. It stung as he did it, and when he looked at his hand, it was covered in blood. Zelda gasped at the bloody slash marks on Link’s face.

“Link……” she whispered. The Hero of Time wiped the blood on the floor, and began to slowly get up. Devil Link grinned evilly. He got both hands ready, and charged at Link. He lunged at him with a scream, and went to stab Link’s face with one hand full of nails. Link saw him attacking just in time, and lifted the Biggoron’s Sword up to block the shot. Devil Link smiled wickedly, and attacked with the other hand. Link once again blocked it, but Devil Link suddenly pulled his hand back and attacked with both. Even though it happened a second, Link was once again able to position the Biggoron’s Sword correctly and block both hits. They grappled for a few seconds, and Link gritted his teeth as Devil Link grinned.

“Very nice Hero of Time…..” he said, “but let’s see you evade this….” Suddenly two large black wings sprouted on Devil Link’s back. Link and all the others watching gasped in shock at the demon-like wings, and Devil Link suddenly spun around. As he spun, his wings hit Link and sent him flying. He cried out in pain, and crashed hard on the hard ground.

“Link!!” shouted Saria. Darunia gritted his teeth.

“Come on brother! You can defeat this stupid devil! You can’t lose to your demon-self!!!” the Goron Leader yelled. Devil Link smiled diabolically as he looked up at Darunia.

“Oh but he can Darunia, Sage of Fire” he replied, “just watch him die right here when I do this…….” Everyone gasped, and a couple tears formed in Zelda’s eyes. She was more afraid than ever before right now. Link slowly got up on his feet, and had his back facing Devil Link. He smiled. “Goodbye Link……..” he said, and his blood red eyes suddenly shot two red beams of energy from them. They soared through the air and finally found their mark in the middle of Link’s back. They exploded, and began to burn away at Link in those few seconds. Link roared in pain as they burnt right through his tunic and scorched his back. Everyone else just froze in shock, and Link stood gasping in pain as his charred back smoked from the attack. He finally closed his eyes, and fell to the ground. Tears rolled down Zelda’s face.

“Link!!! Noooooo!!!!!” she screamed as she fell to her knees and cried. Saria, Nabooru, and Ruto also now had tears in their eyes, and watched in horror as Zelda sobbed and Link’s lifeless body just lay on the ground. Impa, Darunia, and Rauru just froze. Their mouths hung straight down, but they couldn’t speak, they were all frozen in shock. The entire room went silent except for Zelda’s crying. She still sobbed for Link, and it seemed she’d never stop. Soon Devil Link spoke.

“Well, that was certainly an easy fight” he stated, “I was expecting more from the Hero of Time……oh well, I always was stronger than him, and I proved it by annihilating him right before all of your eyes. Link is finally dead……..” Devil Link then turned to the weeping Zelda and smiled evilly. She lifted her head up, and looked terrified. “Why must you cry Zelda?” he asked, “after all……you’re mine now……” Zelda froze. Devil Link began walking over to her with the evil smile still on his face. Zelda began to crawl away, but she wasn’t getting anywhere fast. Devil Link soon loomed over her, and put his foot down on the end of her dress to stop her from going anywhere else. She gasped, and Devil Link grinned diabolically. But was about to then kneel down and try to kiss her once again, but he suddenly heard a yell behind him. He turned around confused, and met a slash from the Biggoron’s Sword to right cheek. He yelled out from the pain of the hit, and was sent flying away from Zelda. She looked up, and saw Link, breathing heavily, gritting his teeth, but nevertheless; alive.

“Link!” she exclaimed as her eyes lit up. Everyone else looked shocked, but they were all happy that Link was alive.

“Yeah get ‘em Link!” shouted Taursus. Link sneered at Devil Link, who was now getting up. He had been clutching his cheek the whole time, but finally removed it. It revealed a terrible, very bloody gash right on his face. Everyone gasped at it, and Link even looked a little shocked by the great wound. Devil Link gritted his teeth as his blood red eyes lit up in rage.

“No one…has ever made me bleed in a battle…..and survived….” He said, “…….and it’ll be the same for you!!!” He screamed, and flew at Link as he got his hands with the huge, long fingernails ready to attack. Link was taken by surprise for a second, and realized he wouldn’t be able to evade the attack. He lifted the Biggoron’s Sword up, and hoped he’d be able to block all of Devil Link’s attacks. The evil spirit lunged at Link, and slashed at him. Link blocked it, and then blocked the next swipe. Devil Link slashed and slashed, but every one was blocked by Link. Devil Link then spun around with his wings, and they hit Link hard. The Biggoron’s Sword was knocked from his grip, and it was sent flying into a wall. It went in, and was stuck. Link grunted in pain from the hit, and was knocked back a few feet. He crashed onto the ground, and groaned in pain. He finally noticed that the Biggoron’s Sword was gone, and he needed to now use the Master Sword and his shield to fight. He shook his head to get rid of his dizziness, and began to slowly get up. Devil Link smirked, and his eyes lit up once again.

“Look out Link he’s going to use those eye beams again!!!!!” Nabooru shouted. Link heard the Gerudo Sage, and saw Devil Link shoot the beams. It’d be impossible to dodge them, so he quickly pulled the Mirror Shield out and absorbed the attack. Devil Link looked a little surprised, and stared in disbelief of the great magical shield. Link finally got on his feet and shot the energy back at Devil Link using the Mirror Shield. Devil Link gritted his teeth, and wrapped his wings around his body. The red beams of energy came flying at him, and bounced off his wings as they gave off an illumination. Link noticed Devil Link was distracted for a second, and pulled out the Master Sword. He screamed in fury, and ran at Devil Link. He held the Master Sword behind his head, and jumped up as he brought it down. He was about to connect with his great jumping slash, but Devil Link’s wings suddenly unwrapped and he caught the sacred blade with his fingernails. Link gasped and froze as Devil Link smiled sinisterly.

“You’re certainly quite a foolish warrior Link” he said, “I’m surprised you were even able to get that one blow in on me. But no more Hero of Time………you will soon die……” Devil Link grinned, and opened up his mouth. It glowed purple, and everyone watched in confusion. Finally a beam of purple energy rocketed out of it and struck Link full force at point blank range. He screamed in pain and flew across the room. He landed hard on the ground and rolled for a few moments before finally stopping. Everyone gasped from the attack, and was worried that Link wouldn’t be able to fight anymore. Link groaned from the pain as his charred tunic and chest smoked a little. Devil Link smiled evilly. “Well well, it seems you’ve finally taken enough damage to stop fighting” he announced, “I figured that attack would work, but I guess it wasn’t enough to finish you. No matter…….I’ll kill you with this…..” Zelda gasped as a few tears formed in her eyes. Link slowly began to get up, and Devil Link’s eyes and mouth both glowed. Everyone watched in terror and suspense as these two things and hoped that Link would be somehow able to block or evade the attack. Link stood on the Master Sword, and finally pulled himself up. At that second, Devil Link fired off both attacks. They flew out and soared towards Link like a falcon.

“Look out Link!!!!!!” yelled Mardera. Link slowly lifted his head up, and in a split second saw the two oncoming energy attacks. He in flash lifted up the Mirror Shield just in time, and absorbed the attacks. Devil Link gasped.

“Not again!” he shouted. Link then screamed in fury as he unleashed both attacks back at Devil Link. The evil spirit froze, and watched helplessly as his own two attacks came flying at him. They finally exploded, and created a great gust of wind and illumination. Everyone covered their eyes as the light and wind pounded against them. Link staggered as the wind pushed against him and almost knocked him down, but he kept his footing and withstood all of it. Everything then slowly began to die down, and everyone watched as the smoke slowly began to clear. They all hoped Devil Link was dead, and waited to see what had happened. The smoke still began to diminish, but suddenly two red beams shot out from it. They rocketed at Link, and he froze. They both struck his right shoulder. He yelled out from the pain, and dropped the Mirror Shield and Master Sword as he clutched his wounded shoulder. It was burnt pretty badly, and smoked as he collapsed. He fell backwards, and rived in pain. Everyone gasped, and Zelda put her hand over her mouth.

“Link……” she whispered. Devil Link then flew out of the smoke. He had an evil smile on his face.

“Ha!” he exclaimed, “I knew that would work! I had once again wrapped my wings around my body and blocked my shots, once I knew they were gone, I carefully calculated where you were through the smoke. Once I had an idea of where you were, I shot my beams. Had I judged a little better, they would’ve struck you right in the throat and killed ya. Even though the fog was what concealed me from you, it was because of it that I wasn’t able to kill you. But no matter, you’re obviously no longer able to fight. You’re badly wounded, and won’t be able to get up. Now…..I shall finally kill you!!!!” Everyone gasped, and Zelda froze. Tears rolled down her face, and she began to tremble. Devil Link extended his fingernails even more, and smiled wickedly. “Goodbye Link!!!” he yelled, and took off. He soared through the air like a hawk, and got his hands ready as he closed in on Link for the kill. Everyone watched in pure worry and nervousness as Devil Link got closer to Link. More tears came from Zelda’s eyes as she watched in pure terror.

“Link……..no…….” she whispered. Devil Link laughed diabolically as he flew high in the air just about where Link was. He then began flying down towards him, and was only seconds from killing him. But suddenly, Link got up and pulled out the Fairy Bow. In a second he loaded a Light Arrow, and aimed at Devil Link. He froze, and watched as Link glared at him and notched the arrow. He soon let it fly, and it soared up at Devil Link. It struck him directly in the chest and pounded him with its holy power. He roared in pain as the light burned away his wings and paralyzed him. He then began plummeting through the air to the ground, and watched as Link grabbed the Master Sword. The Hero of Time still glared at him, and jumped up with a yell of fury. He extended the Master Sword forward, and Devil Link watched in terror as he came closer and closer top his death. He soon fell into the sacred sword, and he gasped in pain as it dug into his stomach. Blood rolled down the blade as they both hung in mid-air, and Devil Link felt his life-force slowly diminish. Link narrowed his eyes, and looked at Devil Link’s shocked, widened eyes. They were filled with fear, but Link sneered.

“You deserve every bit of this…….” he spoke, “you possessed me and almost made me kill my little brother. You tried top kill me and rid me of this world. But most of all, you frightened Zelda and tried to force yourself upon her; and that is nothing I could ever forgive you for.” Link now paused for a second and stared into Devil Link’s eyes. “Now die you filthy devil……” he said, and screamed in fury as he shot a beam of energy from the Master Sword. It exploded against Devil Link at point blank range and burned him away with its awesome power. He screamed in pain as the blast of energy slowly began to disintegrate him. And after a few more moments; it finally did. Link fell down to ground as he watched whatever ashes of Devil Link’s body slowly fall to the ground. Once they touched it, they lay there for a few seconds before finally disappearing. Link breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone eye’s lit up at the fact that Link had finally won. Tears of joy poured from Zelda’s eyes as her face glowed with happiness.

“Link!” she shouted, and ran over to him. Link turned to her and put away the Master Sword. Zelda literally ran into his arms, and Link held her as she cried on his chest. “Oh Link thank God you’re alive!” she said, “I thought you were really going to die, I felt crushed. Thank you for saving me from that sick fool and stopping him once and for all!” She began to cry again, but Link took his hand and lifted up her chin as he did before. He smiled.

“I’ll always be there for you as your best friend Zelda….count on it” he replied. Zelda looked at him, and smiled back through all of her tears. Suddenly footsteps were heard coming from the thrones in the room. There was a quiet, evil laugh being heard, and finally Ganondorf and Emralda appeared from the shadows. Ganondorf snickered.

“You mean…..as your love…..don’t you Link?” he taunted. Link narrowed his eyes.

“Are you just as stupid as that devil Ganondorf?” he asked, “I’ve said it already, we broke up as lovers…..we’re just friends!!!”

“Now now, no need to get all angry Link….” interrupted Emralda. Link gritted his teeth, and Ganondorf smirked.

“Yes, my sister’s right, but come on Link, the devil was right, you two love each other, but are just afraid to tell each other once again…..” he stated. Link felt like running straight at Ganondorf and slicing him into halves, but he still stayed by Zelda and held her in his arms. Emralda seemed amused.

“I must admit Link, that was quite a battle you had with Devil Link” she began, “you fought rather well against such a powerful foe. I really believed you were dead a couple times…..but you always come back for more. I especially liked the finish, coming back at the last second to win is always a better touch to a fight. And I was especially amazed that you won without having the Triforce of Courage………” Link and everyone else in the room gasped. Link’s eyes widened in shock, and his mouth dropped. He looked thunderstruck. Ganondorf smiled evilly.

“That’s right” he said, and held up his hand with the back of it facing Link and Zelda. Two Triforce pieces appeared on his hand, and Emralda did the same, revealing her own Triforce piece. Ganondorf smirked at the shocked Link. “When you and Zelda were being transported here, we took your Triforce pieces away from you, and used them for our own power…….” Emralda also smiled wickedly.

“He’s right you two…..” she began, “your powers are ours!!!” She let out an evil laugh, and everyone stared in disbelief of what just happened. They all couldn’t believe that Zelda and Link no longer had their Triforce pieces, and Ganondorf and Emralda were the ones possessing them. Rauru was on the verge of fainting.

“Our powers, Taursus’s, Mardera’s and Nepsana’s powers, and three pieces of the Triforce…..” he whispered, “……those two will be unstoppable……” Impa was just as shocked as Rauru, and looked down at Ganondorf and Emralda. She looked worried.

“How will Mirren be able to stop them……..?” she asked. Nabooru shook her head.

“I don’t know Impa” she answered, “but as much as I hate to admit it……..Mirren might not be able to stop them this time…….” Everyone froze from Nabooru’s grim words, and realized that she was speaking the truth. Tears formed in Saria’s eyes.

“No…….he can’t lose…..” she whispered. Nepsana lowered her head.

“Destiny is what will decide the victor of that battle Saria…..” she said, “……we can only hope that Mirren somehow wins against the odds and saves us……..”

As Emralda still laughed so wickedly, Ganondorf smiled at Link and Zelda.

“Now, let’s break you two up once again!” he yelled and threw his hand out. Suddenly a crystal prison appeared around both Zelda and Link, and their embrace was broken. They both put their hands on their crystals trying to touch the others……….but they were trapped and split apart. Ganondorf then raised his hand, and the crystal floated up to where everyone else was. “You all are finally in our grasp, now all we have to is wait for Mirren to come and try to save you all……” he began, “……..and we’ll just kill him right before your eyes!!! We’ll get our revenge, we’ll be the most powerful duo ever, we’ll conquer Hyrule, and that birthday of Mirren’s and Zelda’s will be ruined!!!!!!” Ganondorf then let a sinister laugh, and a couple tears rolled down her cheeks. She closed her eyes.

“Please Mirren……”she said in her head, “Please be alright. Rest up, and come here to save us. I know the odds are definitely against you, and that they’re probably five times stronger than you………but I know you can still win Mirren, I know you will be able to beat those odds and save us all just as you before. Please Mirren, do everything you can to save us. Please Mirren, for the sake of Hyrule’s safety, for our lives, for your own life…………and for our own birthday……………”

* * * * *

Mirren finally opened his eyes. All the tears were gone, and his eyes were still red. The last thing he remembered was crying for the dead Jarlis and Faria, and hearing Ganondorf and Emralda say that they were about to kill him. And then suddenly, he disappeared in a flash of blue light. The second he did, it seemed he lost all consciousness, and fell asleep. He rubbed his eyes as he brought himself about getting up and looked around. The place he was in looked familiar. The diamond-like floor, an endless black ceiling, and watery walls. Why did he feel he had been here before? Suddenly he looked straight in front of him with her backed facing him and saw some woman with her back facing him with long green hair like Zelda’s and a light green, sleeveless shirt on. And her blouse was swaddling and more of a white color. He knew where he was now. The Chamber of Sages, and he knew who the woman was standing in front of him.

“Farore……” he whispered almost in shock and surprise. The Goddess of Courage turned around and smiled at Mirren.

“It’s good to see you once again Mirren, and good that you’re finally awake” she replied somewhat happily. Mirren got up and looked at her smiling face.

“Hey, why am I in the Chamber of Sages?” he asked, “the Sages aren’t here, and you guys are the Goddesses.” Farore crossed her arms.

“Because this may be the Chamber of Sages, but it’s also us Goddesses’ Chamber also” she answered, “It may be called the Chamber of Sages, but we use it also. That’s why we brought you here.” Mirren looked a little confused.

“Farore, what’s going on?” he asked, “What happened?” Farore now no longer smiled. She looked serious, and she turned and began to walk away. She motioned for Mirren to follow her, and he did. They walked around a little ways and came upon Din and Nayru, who were wearing the same garments they had before when Mirren first met them.

“Oh, you’re up Mirren” exclaimed Nayru, “are you alright?” Mirren nodded.

“I’m fine, I just wanna know what’s going on” he answered. Din as always looked serious and stern. She stood up and looked at Mirren. She then looked at the other Goddesses. Farore and Nayru nodded, and Din nodded back as she turned to Mirren once again.

“Alright, I’ll begin by explaining this all……” she began. Mirren forgot about everything else and just focused on what Din was saying. “Once Ganondorf and Emralda had killed Faria, you broke down and began to cry as you probably remember….” Mirren thought of Faria for a second and felt hurt inside. But he hid his sorrow and nodded. Din continued. “They were then about to kill you, and almost did, but we had saved you just in time….” Mirren looked a little surprised.

“You guys rescued me?” he asked. Din nodded.

“Yes, we knew you were going to get killed, so we got you outta there as fast as we possibly could….” She replied, “Then they took Nepsana, Link and Zelda through the portal and took them to the citadel…..” Mirren now had a couple tears forming in his eyes, but he wiped them away quickly.

“What’s going on there now? Are they just sitting trapped in their crystal prison?” he asked. Nayru was now the one to speak.

“Well, everyone else has been, but Link and Zelda weren’t at first….” She answered. Mirren gave off a flummoxed expression.

“Why’s that?” he asked. Nayru seemed to clear her throat.

“This is kinda a long story but I’ll still say it….” She began, “do you remember when Link was possessed?” she asked. Mirren nodded. “Okay, well you see that evil spirit that had possessed Link made himself into a form of your brother and asked Ganondorf and Emralda not to put Link and Zelda in their cages at first. That evil spirit had named himself Devil Link, and tried to force himself upon Zelda because he thought she was beautiful……” Mirren narrowed his eyes and at the thought.

“Keep going…..” he said though. Nayru nodded.

“Okay, well he came close, but Link came in a stopped him” she replied, “they had quite a battle, and Devil Link proved to be a powerful adversary, he actually almost killed Link a couple times.” Mirren’s eyes widened in shock.

“He didn’t though……..did he?” he inquired.

“No, he wasn’t able to finish off your brother though” she said, “he came close at the end, but Link shot him with a Light Arrow and killed him with an energy beam from the Master Sword. Link’s fine……..” Mirren looked a little relieved.

“And Zelda is too……right?” he asked even though he looked a little embarrassed. Nayru smiled.

“Yes, she’s also all right” she answered. Mirren’s face went red a little. Farore now took over.

“Right now they’re all trapped though…..” she began, “the Sages, Mardera, Taursus, Nepsana, and now Link and Zelda. Also Ganondorf and Emralda took away their Triforce pieces, they now possess them…..” Mirren’s eyes bugged out.

“WHAT!!??” he exclaimed, “you’ve gotta be kidding Farore!!!” She shook her head as she narrowed her eyes.

“No….I’m not Mirren……” she said. Mirren now looked a little worried. He turned his head away as he thought of how powerful Ganondorf and Emralda would be. Farore still looked stern and serious. “Mirren, you have to fight them…….”

“BUT HOW!!??” He snapped, Din and Nayru were a little surprised by Mirren’s words. “How in God’s name am I going to defeat them when they’re literally invincible!!!??? All that power is probably twice as much as the Triforce of Justice!!! How can I even fight them!!!??” Farore narrowed her eyes.

“Stop being a fool Mirren” she sneered, “you’re acting just as you were before when you met us!!! How can you say such foolish words when your friends and loved ones lives are on the line!!!???” Din and Nayru were both shocked by how Farore had exploded. They had never seen the Goddess of Courage so angry, and never saw her yell or scold at anyone so aggressively.

“She’s acting just like me now…..” Din whispered. Nayru didn’t really pay attention to Din, what she was paying attention to….was Mirren. As Farore glared at him, and at the mentioning of his friends, tears formed in Mirren’s eyes once again. He thought of them all trapped there, and it began to break him down knowing they were gone from him once again. He closed his eyes and turned away from them.

“This is all happening once again…..” he began, “they’ve captured all my friends once again and am making me suffer. It’s all coming again. Emralda and Ganondorf are bringing back my worst nightmare. It’s returning, but this time it’s even worse. Either I save them, or they die, I die, Hyrule gets conquered by Ganondorf and Emralda, and worst of all……….mine and Zelda’s birthday gets ruined. I just can’t take this suffering any more!!!!” Mirren then fell to his knees and began cry. He still had his eyes closed, but his tears slipped through them and rolled down his face. As he lay there on his hands and knees weeping, Farore suddenly got a change of heart and attitude. She no longer looked so serious and mad; instead she looked sorry for Mirren. She knelt down next to him, and put her hand on his shoulder.

“Forgive me for being so tough on you Mirren….” She said, “I was only trying to motivate you……but I guess I did it the wrong way. I’m not a tough person at all, I was the fool when I was acting like that. I’m sorry Mirren, and just as Din said before, I’m sorry I didn’t realize how hard this is on you. You’re still just a kid, and losing all of your friends and loved ones must really tale it’s toll on you.” Mirren stopped crying for a second, and looked at Farore. He got up off his hands, and looked at her through his reddened eyes as a couple tears still came down his face. Farore looked right into his eyes. She now looked a little….determined in a way. “Mirren……” she began, “I promise you that I will do everything I can to make sure you save your friends from Ganondorf and Emralda.” Mirren choked a little.

“But how will I defeat them? They’re so powerful…..and if I don’t…..everything’s lost…..” he said. Farore put her arm around his shoulders.

“I don’t know how you’re going to defeat them Mirren….” She replied, “But I still believe even when they’re stronger than us Goddesses, you can defeat them somehow. Think of all your friends, think about for motivation to save them. Think about Link dying because you didn’t win, would you ever wanna see your older brother die? And what about Zelda? I know you still have that crush on her…..you wouldn’t let her die would you? I mean after all, you two have your birthday to celebrate tomorrow, you gotta defeat Ganondorf and Emralda to make sure that birthday is the best. The odds are definitely against you, and you have a great chance of losing…….but you still must try and defeat them. Give ‘em everything you got, that is the only way you can ever have a chance of winning……..” Mirren nodded as he wiped away a few tears. He sniffed a little.

“You’re right……I’ve gotta do everything I can……” he began, “…….I’ve gotta give it everything I have to defeat them. I just…….I just……” Nayru and Din looked a little surprised as Mirren stuttered. He suddenly broke into tears once again. “I just miss them all so much!” he exclaimed, “all of my friends leaving right before eyes is the worst thing that can happen to me, and three of them have already been killed by Ganondorf and Emralda!! I just could never stand to see all the others die because I can’t win!! I just can’t take any more!!!!” He then began to cry even more. He wept terribly, and Farore kept her arm about him as she looked at the other Goddesses. All three of them looked sorry for Mirren, and they felt terrible that he had to suffer such horror once again…..and all on the day before his birthday……….

Okay, once someone reviews this real quick I'll post the rest of this chapter.

This is just way too good. Please continue!

post the rest this stuffs great, more more post more

Hey thanks. Ummm.....could you rate the first story's first couple chapters possibly? I can see you like it, and I've got like two poeple it seems to rate my story. I have 1 1/2 stars out of five, so it looks like I stink. And here's the rest of chapter 8.

* * * * *

Link looked out through the window from his crystal prison. It was lighter out now; but the sun was no where near shining. It was raining, pretty hard in fact, and the clouds were dark and grey. The numerous raindrops splashed against the window, and he saw some lightning rip through the sky. A few seconds later, and a huge crash of thunder was heard. As he stood there watching, Taursus knelt in his cage thinking.

“It’s probably early morning now” he stated. Link nodded, but didn’t bother to look at him.

“I had that idea also” he replied. Taursus now nodded.

“That was quite a battle you had with Devil Link, I really thought you were dead there a few times…….” He said. Link didn’t change his expression at all.

“Yeah, me too….” He answered back. Taursus nodded again, and looked back to the throne in the room. He thought for a few moments about Ganondorf and Emralda. He thought of their great power, and wondered if Mirren might die.

“Hey Link…….?” He began. Link finally turned to him.

“Yeah?” he asked. Taursus looked a little worried amazingly.

“Do you think that Mirren will be able to defeat those two fools and save us?” he asked. Link once again didn’t change his expression, but inside a million thoughts rushed through his head. Fear and worry choked him, but he kept from showing that. He turned away, and bowed his head.

“I don’t know Taursus……I just don’t know…….” He answered. Taursus looked a little surprised by Link’s answer, but also looked even more worried. Zelda had heard the whole conversation (since her crystal was right next to Link’s) and was starting to worry very much about Mirren also. She knew the great amount of power Ganondorf and Emralda now possessed, and that they were next to invincible. A tear formed in her one eye. She was afraid. She was afraid for herself and Mirren. The last thing she ever wanted was see him die right before her eyes, and all on the day before their birthday.

Ganondorf and Emralda walked into the room. They both smiled wickedly, and went over to sit on the chairs on the throne. They rested their arms on the chairs’ own arms, except Emralda held her staff with one hand, so only one arm was resting. They were in their normal attire; Ganondorf in black and blue armor, and Emralda in her dark green robe with the gold stripes and the rubies attached to each. They both looked as evil as they usually did, but they oddly paid no attention whatsoever to their prisoners. Nepsana noticed this, and was a little confused.

“What’s up with them?” she whispered to Link, “It’s like they’re totally forgotten about us. They usually always taunt us and jeer at us, but now they’re just ignoring us…..” Link looked very serious as he watched the two evil brother and sister. He shook his head as he narrowed his eyes.

“I have no idea Nepsana….” He answered, “You’re right though, they are acting kinda strange…”

“Tss, strange is just an understatement!” exclaimed Ruto but not loud, “have they gotten board with us or something?” Impa shook her head as her ears almost seemed to twitch.

“No…..” she said, “………they’re waiting for someone to come…..” Everyone looked a little confused.

“What in blazes are talkin’ ‘bout?” asked Darunia. Impa narrowed her eyes.

“There’s a couple people coming down the hall, and I guess they’re waiting for them…….” She answered. Ruto looked shocked.

“How do you know that!?” she exclaimed again but not loud. Impa didn’t even turn to her, she just kept listening.

“It has to do with her ears” Zelda answered for Impa to let her keep listening, “because she’s a Shiekah, her ears and sense of hearing is greater than a normal Hylian or any other race for that matter…..”

“Yeah, her ears are even better than mine….” added Nabooru, “and we Gerudos have some pretty nice hearing skills!”

“Can you tell what they might be Impa?” asked Zelda. Impa shook her head.

“Nothing except they’re big and loud……” she answered. Suddenly the sound of large and loud stomping was heard. A few of them gasped, and were a little afraid of what might be coming through the doors. Link narrowed his eyes as he focused completely on the door. He was prepared for anything……….anything except what did come through the doors.

It was Malon. All chained up and looking terrified. She was followed by two Moblins, and they were all snickering and smiling evilly. Link froze. He gasped, and his mouth hung down as his eyes widened in shock. He couldn’t believe that it was Malon, and how afraid she looked. Everyone else gasped also, but Nepsana also sneered.

“Those are some of the Moblins from Varnash’s gang……..” she stated. Mardera turned to her.

“Are you sure?” she asked. Nepsana nodded but didn’t look at her.

“Yeah, I’m sure of it…..” she answered. Zelda like Link was also frozen in shock. Her eyes widened, and she placed her hand over her mouth as it dropped. Ganondorf sat on his great chair smiling diabolically at the frightened Malon.

“Well well, it looks like we’ve finally got the ranch girl here……” he said standing up. Malon cringed, and trembled. Link finally had enough. His eyes lit up with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

“What are doing this to her for Ganondorf!!!!????” he screamed. The Scourge of Hyrule smirked as he looked up at the enraged Link.

“You certainly aren’t happy to see her like this, are you Link?” he taunted. Link would’ve done anything at that moment to break out of his crystal and slice Ganondorf’s throat open.

“You’re darn right you sick fool!!!!” Emralda smiled evilly. She was amused by Link’s intense anger. She also now stood up and walked over to her brother.

“Well, we have another visitor with us…….” She announced, and another Moblin walked in with Teerlis chained up also in front of him. Teerlis walked slowly, and his garments were torn in several places, and his wounds bled a little. He walked over to Malon, and just collapsed next to her. Malon gasped and tried to help him up. Link was as angry as ever.

“Answer me Ganondorf!!! Why are you doing this!!!???” he shouted. Ganondorf smiled wickedly and looked up at Link.

“You really wanna know why? Well fine….I’ll tell you…..” he replied, “I knew that these two ranch fools are good friends of Mirren’s, so I decided it’d be best to capture them and bring them here. And considering that this’ll be the time that Mirren finally dies……why not have all of his best friends here!!!???” Ganondorf then laughed diabolically. Emralda grinned.

“Time to cage you two up…….” She said, and threw her hand out. A crystal prison appeared around both of them, and slowly floated up to where all the others were. Everyone watched as they came over to the rest, and felt terrible for the both of them. Ganondorf now turned to the Moblins.

“Your work is done, you may leave to do whatever you wish.” He said. The one Moblin smiled.

“But Ganondorf, we want to join your great army!” he exclaimed. Emralda smirked.

“Really?” she asked. The Moblin nodded.

“Yes, we wanna be as much as help as possible!” he replied. Emralda grinned.

“You wanna help us?” she began, “Fine. I have a great way you guys can help us out. You three can be Blackfang’s victims for his training…….” The Moblins looked a little confused, and so did everyone else watching. Emralda snapped her fingers, and suddenly part of one of the walls began to lift up. It slowly opened, and revealed some blackness. Suddenly two yellow eyes appeared, and a snarl was heard. The Moblins froze in fear, and finally a great, and absolutely huge black panther leapt from the blackness. It roared, and the Moblins screamed in fear. Blackfang lunged at them, and began to savagely attack them. He swiped at them with his great claws and cut them open. They all kept on screaming as Blackfang ripped them apart. Zelda, Impa and all the others turned away from the gruesome and disturbing site, all except Link who stood frozen in shock as he watched the Moblins get torn and bloodied to pulps. His mouth dropped, and he gasped numerously. Soon all the screaming stopped, and the sounds of Blackfang’s savage killing stopped. They all looked back, and froze when they saw the three Moblins, bloodied, torn open in several places, and dead. Emralda smiled.

“What a good panther!” she said, “I knew he’d be perfect!” Ganondorf also smiled and looked up at the shocked and terrified captives.

“Do you all like him?” he asked, “He’s Emralda’s new pet and protector. She found him in the woods here in Herlassia and brought him here to the citadel. She’s trained him very well, and took a great liking to her. He’ll do any command she gives him, and he especially loves killing and tearing apart his victims. I can’t wait to see how you all react once we send him loose on Mirren…….” Ganondorf laughed as everyone still stood frozen in terror, and they now felt even worse knowing Mirren would have to fight that terrifying creature. Emralda smiled as she walked over to Blackfang and began to stroke his sleek, black as shadow fur. He purred, and lay down as she still stroked it.

“Now all we need to do is put your armor on, and you’ll be the greatest cat in all of Hyrule and Herlassia!” she said. Instantly three Iron Knuckles came through the doors to the throne room carrying gold and red armor. They walked over to Emralda, and began to put the armor on Blackfang as Emralda still stroked him. The armor was like that of the one used for horses when they are used for battle. Except it was only his body, his head and legs were left uncovered, along with his tail. Emralda smiled as she watched the great armor put on the huge panther, and everyone watched except Link and Zelda, who were more concerned for Malon.

“Are you okay?” Zelda asked. Malon sniffed back a few tears and nodded.

“Yes, I’m fine……” she answered, “same with Teerlis, they didn’t hurt us that bad, they only captured us…….” Link looked a little surprised as he stared at Teerlis’s many wounds.

“But he’s covered in cuts and blood!” he exclaimed, Teerlis groaned as he lifted himself up and shook his head to get rid of the stars. He looked over at Link.

“That doesn’t mean I didn’t beat the livin’ heck outta the Iron Knuckles that came…..” he replied. Zelda also looked a little surprised.

“You fought them!?” she asked. Teerlis nodded.

“Yeah, I guess they were originally going to kill us, but after I beat half of them to their death with a pitchfork and chain, they decided just to capture us and bring us here……” he said. Malon nodded.

“Yeah, without him, we would’ve been brought here dead for Mirren to see……”she stated. Zelda nodded, and so did Link. Teerlis looked a little worried.

“I may be a normal Hylian elf, and I might not know much of what’s going on, but do you guys think Mirren’ll even have a chance against Ganondorf and Emralda?” he asked. Zelda now also looked a little worried, and she looked over at Link, who looked very grim and turned his head away as he closed his eyes.

“I do not know…….” He whispered, “he has a great chance of losing………we can only hope that he wins………”

* * * * *

Mirren had eventually stopped crying after a while. He calmed down, and toughened up a little. He went over to a side of a chamber, and stood by himself thinking. The Goddesses’ knew he was still very hurt by seeing three of his friends die, and that all of his other friends and loved ones were gone once again. Din and Farore went over to another side of the chamber and began to discuss something, while Nayru went over by Mirren. She walked over to him, and stood next him as she looked down at him.

“You okay Mirren?” she asked softly and gently. Mirren sniffed as he wiped away a few remaining tears. He nodded, but didn’t look up at her.

“Yeah, I’m okay…..just worried that I won’t be able to defeat Ganondorf and Emralda and save everyone…..” he replied.

“I don’t blame you…….” She said back, “They’re both incredibly powerful, and you’re still just a kid. This must be terrifying for you.” Mirren shook his head.

“That’s not what I fear the most…..” he said, “What I’m really most afraid of is that I won’t be able to save them, and they’ll all die. And especially since mine and Zelda’s birthday is tomorrow…..” Nayru put her arm around his shoulders.

“That is a very wise and noble thing to say of you…..” she began, “and I’m not surprised you’re more worried about your friends’ lives than Ganondorf and Emralda, I’d be terrified that they’d all die too. But no matter how strong Ganondorf and Emralda are, you must always keep on fighting and give it every single bit of energy in your body before you run outta life. Even if they’re triple you power, you mustn’t give up fighting. And remember, me, Din, and Farore will still be there to back you up if you need it. You’re not alone, always remember that. And also always think of your friends and loved ones. Never stop picturing them in your mind, they’ll motivate you and keep you going to fight to save them. Think of the Sages, think of Mardera, think of Nepsana, think of Taursus, think of Link……think of Zelda……” Mirren sniffed back any remaining tears he had, and nodded. He seemed fine now, and no longer looked like he was going to cry or anything. He looked rather calm now, but serious. Nayru also noticed his ears went a little red. She knew the cause for this instantly. “You still have that crush on Zelda?” she asked with a grin. Mirren’s face went red now. He looked a little embarrassed and looked away.

“Yeah…….” He replied. Nayru smiled.

“Don’t ever worry about it” she began, “you remember what she said don’t you? She doesn’t mind that you have that crush on her; in fact…..she’s actually happy you do. There’s no way you can stop love Mirren, so whatever you do, don’t try to get rid of it…..” Mirren still looked a little embarrassed, and now worried.

“Yeah, but I still always hate it since she and Link love each other” he replied, “I know that they broke up, but deep down inside….they still love each other…..” Nayru smiled again.

“Then that’s something you should do once you save them if you do” she stated, “Bring them back together. You did it before, and they’ll never be happier. And hey……you might get another kiss from Zelda……” Mirren blushed again, and Nayru laughed a little. He looked up at her, and actually smiled in a way.

“Thanks Nayru…..” he said, “If I can’t talk to Zelda….you’re the next best thing….” Nayru smiled again and nodded.

“Any time Mirren……any time” she replied. She then looked out of the corner of her eye, and noticed that Farore was motioning her to come with Mirren to her and Din. She nodded to them, and looked back at Mirren. “Come with me…..” she said, “Me and the others have something for you.” Mirren looked a little surprised, and confused as he and Nayru walked over to the other side of the chamber to Din and Farore. They were soon there, and Farore looked down at Mirren.

“Mirren, we have something to give you” she said. Mirren looked a little surprised.

“You have something to give to ~me~?” he asked. Din nodded.

“Yes, listen Mirren, we knew how hurt you were once Goldenfire died, and how hard you took it” she began, “and now you really can’t get around all that well without him. You may still have Artra, but she’s just a pony, and she’s supposed to live at the ranch. That’s why we’ve decided to give you Goldwing.” Mirren looked a little confused, and the three Goddesses lifted their hands up into the air. A golden light began to shine above them all, and it kept getting brighter and brighter and brighter. Mirren watched as he suddenly heard a screech. The light flashed, and when Mirren looked back, he saw a beautiful golden phoenix hovering in the sky. He gasped, and stood in awe of the great beast. It must’ve been twenty-five feet tall, and its body was covered in the most beautiful and shining of golden feathers. Its wings were huge, and spread out to a great length. Its head was that of a hawk, and the great phoenix had dark silver eyes. The Goddesses finally brought their arms down, and smiled at Mirren.

“This is Goldwing Mirren” began Farore, “he’s our phoenix companion. He’s a great flyer, and is great for battles. His fire is also golden like Goldenfire’s, and it’s probably just as strong.” Mirren still looked shocked.

“And you’re giving him to me” he asked. Farore smiled again and nodded.

“Yep, you’re going to need another companion now that Goldenfire’s dead…..and in my mind there’s no one better than Goldwing.” Mirren still looked shocked, and Goldwing now flew down next to him. The great golden phoenix landed by his side, and knelt down. Mirren looked at the beautiful creature, and finally smiled. He stroked his neck, and Goldwing seemed to like it. Mirren felt great. Goldwing was just like Goldenfire, almost like an exact copy…..only in bird form. A tear dripped from his eye as he looked over at the Goddesses.

“Thank you guys……” he said. They all smiled back at him.

“No problem Mirren……” they all said. Mirren then turned back to Goldwing and went back to stroking his neck. Farore and Nayru still smiled, but Din now looked a little more serious.

“I’d say it’s about noon now, it’ll take us ‘til probably the evening to get to Emralda’s Citadel in Herlassia” she stated, “I think we should be leaving soon.” The other Goddesses looked just as serious. Nayru nodded.

“You’re right” she replied, “but we must first think of a plan on how we’re going to fight there. Will we do it like last time?” Mirren now looked at them and was also serious as they talked about the situation. Farore shook her head.

“No Nayru, our plan will be different this time, “she began, “last time Ganondorf and Emralda had troops on the ground floor of the castle area, and then on all three floors of the tower before the throne room at the top. This time it’s a little different. They once again have a bunch of troops on the ground floor, that’ll be where Goldwing will fight.” Mirren nodded and looked at the phoenix. Goldwing even seemed to nod at the plan Farore continued. “Alright, then the next floors are filled with enemies. The first will be full of Moblins, and then the next will have a bunch of Iron Knuckles in it. This time it’s not gonna be where one of us Goddesses stay there to fight as the others go on. We’re all gonna stay there and fight until every last enemy is killed. Because on the third floor there’s three unknown enemies there with great power, so us three Goddesses will fight them as you Mirren go up to the throne room to fight Ganondorf and Emralda. Understand?” Mirren nodded and hopped on Goldwing. Din and Nayru also nodded. The Goddesses then lifted their hands up into the air. There was a flash of light, and all of sudden they were in the sky high above Hyrule. Goldwing was hovering, and the Goddesses just floated. Farore looked at the other Goddesses. “Are you guys ready?” asked.

“Ready as ever!” exclaimed Din.

“Yes, I’m ready” replied Nayru. Farore nodded and looked over at Mirren.

“Are you ready Mirren? Do you think you can do this?” she asked. Everything was silent for a few moments. Mirren bowed his head as everyone waited for his answer.

“Even if I die trying…….I’m going to do everything I can to save them….” He said. He looked up at them. “I’m ready……I’m going to fight.” Even though she didn’t express it, Mirren’s words of courage and nobility made her feel great and proud of him. She nodded.

“Alright everybody……..let’s go!” she yelled, and flew off. Din and Nayru followed her up, and Mirren began riding Goldwing behind them. They all flew over the great kingdom of Hyrule, and looked forward to the land of Herlassia. The place where Mirren and all of his friends’ fates would be decided.

Look for the final battle soon to come......WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Here it is folks the final battle and the second last chapter!!! All on my 600th post!!!!! Enjoy!!!!!


Chapter 9: The Final Countdown

The three Goddesses and Mirren flew over Hyrule on their way to Herlassia. They passed over the field, Lon Lon Ranch, and had passed Hyrule Castle a little while ago. About a half an hour before, they entered Herlassia and decided to pick up a little speed. It was not a nice day out. The sky was gray, and the clouds were a thick black. Rain began to pour out of them and make its way down to the earth. But even with the bad whether and atmosphere, they kept on flying.

Mirren sat atop Goldwing still thinking of that final battle. His hazel eyes were full of intensity and fierceness, just as before. He had a very slim, narrow chance of defeating them, but even with that, he was determined to win and save all of his friends. There was so much at stake. If he lost, then he would die. Hyrule would be conquered by Ganondorf and Emralda. All of his friends and loved ones would die. And his and Zelda’s birthday would be ruined.

Din and Nayru flew to the sides of Goldwing and Mirren, while Farore lead the flight in front of them. Right before they flew off, Mirren put his battle armor on by simply snapping his fingers. It all appeared on him; the red cape, the indigo steel body armor, the golden shoulder pads, the steel elbow and knee pads, and the chain mail pants and gauntlets. The great battle armor given to him by the Sages, light as a feather, hard as iron ore. The wind blew his red cape around, and the rain poured down onto his body armor and other pieces.

They kept on flying for a few more hours, and it looked like it was slowly becoming dusk. Farore finally spotted the great, huge black tower in the distance, and soon saw the rest of the citadel.

“It’s right up ahead guys, we should be there soon, so get ready” she said. Din and Nayru nodded, but Mirren stayed silent and motionless. The mention of this now made him even more intensified. He was only a little while away from once again stepping into that citadel to fight. He was only a little while away from running up that tower and fighting all the enemies. He was only a little while away from once again fighting the most powerful duo in Hyrule……and hopefully defeating them.




* * * * *

About twenty minutes later, they all finally made it to the citadel. They landed in front of the huge black and red door and walked up to it as Mirren hopped off Goldwing. He walked over to the Goddesses and looked up at the door as Goldwing trotted behind him. Din turned around and looked at him.

“Are you ready to fight Mirren?” she asked. Nayru and Farore now turned around and looked at Mirren. The warrior boy stood in his armor as he bowed his head. He was silent for a few moments, before reached to his back, and grabbed the bronze hilt of the Goddesses’ Sword. He tightened his grip on it, and slowly pulled it out of his scabbard. It was finally out, and grasped it with both hands as he looked up at the Goddesses. He nodded.

“I’m ready……..” he answered. They all nodded back, and the four of them opened up the door. They all walked in, and began running down the carpeted hallway as Goldwing began to fly behind them.

“Remember Mirren, Goldwing’s gonna be fighting if there’s any troops on the ground floor, so make sure he’s ready to fight, okay?” Nayru stated. Mirren nodded and looked back at his great golden phoenix. He nodded back at him. They all soon came to another large door, and they opened it up. They ran inside the ground area, and stopped.

“Ohhhhh boy……” Mirren said. They looked all around, and saw endless black Iron Knuckles and huge, terrible looking Moblins and Monblins. They all were just like the other troops before, all battle ready and not looking happy. They filled up the entire, absolutely huge area of the ground floor, and it seemed like there might’ve been more than a hundred all together. Mirren looked a little shocked and worried, but Din turned to him and looked fine.

“Send Goldwing on them now” she told him, “tell him to clear a path for us to the entrance of the tower….okay?” Mirren looked up at her now more worried than shocked.

“But will he be able to take them all out without getting seriously hurt?” he asked. Nayru laughed.

“If I weren’t a Goddess I would bet my own life on Goldwing to win!” she exclaimed. Mirren still seemed a little skeptical, but nodded. He turned to Goldwing.

“Alright Goldwing, I need you to destroy enough of these guys so we can get to the tower entrance safely, then I’ll need you to stay down here and take all the troops out, okay?” he said. Goldwing nodded, and actually seemed to narrow his eyes at the troops. He let out a screech, and flew at them. He outstretched his talons, and raked through the troops as he got closer to the tower entrance. As he flew by he sliced through every Moblin and every Iron Knuckle in front of him to a terrible, and rather painful death. He stopped about halfway there and watched as a bunch of Moblins charged at him with their spears in front of them. Goldwing screeched again, and unleashed a beam of fire from his mouth. It struck the Moblin gang, and burnt them all to death. Mirren’s eyes bugged out and his jaw dropped as he watched Goldwing annihilate the troops with such ease.

“Alright! He’s gotten a good path down…..let’s go!!” she yelled. They all nodded, and began to run to the tower entrance. They ran and ran and soon came to Goldwing as they began entering the tower. The Goddesses were the first in, and Mirren was last. He entered, and looked back at Goldwing.

“Please be okay……got it bud?” he whispered. Goldwing nodded, and turned back to a bunch of oncoming Iron Knuckles. He charged up once again, and shot a beam of fire from his mouth, disintegrating the Iron Knuckles away. Mirren almost seemed to smile at his new companion, and began running up the tower stairs to catch up to the Goddesses. Mirren was pretty fast, and he was faster than the Goddesses so within a few moments he was right to the side of them. “What troops are on this floor again Farore?” Mirren asked.

“Moblins” she answered. They all soon came to the floor after a few minutes, and opened it up. They ran in, and stopped at the sight of sixteen angry, tough looking Moblins. They all glared at Mirren and the Goddesses, and grasped their spears as they all got in battle stances.

“You think that Ganondorf would learn that these weak troops are no longer strong enough to even fatigue us a little……” Din stated. The Moblins gritted their teeth, and charged at the four with a yell of fury. Mirren grasped the Goddesses Sword with both hands, and got in a battle position as the Goddesses did the same. Once the Moblins made it halfway across the room, the four charged at them.

Din outstretched her hand and charged a fireball up. Once it was complete, she rocketed it from her and sent it flying at a Moblin. He froze in terror, and was soon incinerated by it to a burning death. The other three Moblins gasped, and also froze in shock of their dead comrade. Din took advantage of the situation and put both hands out. They glowed with a bright red color, and she soon shot a red beam of energy at them. It struck two of the unsuspecting Moblins, and killed them instantly. The remaining Moblin gasped and froze again, and looked at Din with fear in his eyes. He slowly backed off, and finally began to try and run away. Din narrowed her eyes, and flew at him. He didn’t get very for, for once Din grabbed the back of his neck……he was dead. She screamed in fury and from the power coursing through her veins, and sent numerous flames through his body from her hand. This was just like the attack Ganondorf had used on Faria to kill her, only he used dark energy bolts while Din used fire. She soon stopped the attack, and it left a charred, dead Moblin. She dropped him, and glared at his dead body.
Farore flew at her four Moblins, as they rushed at her. One went for a stab of his spear, but she easily dodged it and blasted him away with a ball of green energy. Another Moblin ran at her from behind, and tried to skewer her with his spear. She quickly turned around and dodged once again. The Moblin was a little surprised, and stumbled forward. Farore suddenly put her hand out, and the Moblin froze in fright. Her hand glowed green, and she soon shot a blast of energy from it. The Moblin roared in pain, and was disintegrated. The other two Moblins were shocked at her power, but still roared and ran at her spears in hand. Farore turned to them. She glared at them, and held her hand up in the air. It once again glowed green, but the Moblins still charged relentlessly. Her hand was now glowing very bright, and she brought her hand down onto the ground. She screamed from her power rush, and sent a shockwave of energy flying at the Moblins. They stopped in their tracks, and gasped as the shockwave got closer and closer. They watched it helplessly, and knew they were going to die. It finally struck them, and the energy exploded and pounded them with its great power. They roared in pain as they were engulfed with it, and it soon stopped. The Moblins then fell to the floor dead.

The Moblins attacked at Nayru like mad. They all kept stabbing and stabbing at her with their spears trying to turn her into a pincushion. But the Goddess of Wisdom dodged all the attacks with ease as she hovered about in the air. She finally threw her hands, out, and sent two cloths of blue energy flying at the one Moblin. This was just like Zelda’s energy cloths attack, only hers were pink and Nayru’s were blue. The cloths wrapped around the Moblins neck, and Nayru unleashed the energy. It pounded the Moblin with power, and he roared in pain from the heavy assault of energy. His body finally went limp, and Nayru knew he was dead. Two of the Moblins stood in shock, but the other one screamed in rage and rushed at Nayru. She saw him coming from the corner of her eye, and flung the dead Moblin right at him. It collided into him, and killed him also. The two dead Moblins crashed on the floor, and remaining two were now somewhat afraid, and froze once Nayru looked at them. Her eyes were narrow, and actually glowing a light blue color. The Moblins slowly backed off, but it was too late. Two blue beams of energy shot from her eyes, and soared at the Moblins. They were both struck by one beam, and were sent flying; dead of course.

A Moblin went for a slice at Mirren, but the boy dodged it with ease and pointed the Goddesses’ Sword at him. It glowed blue, and the Moblin looked scared. Mirren finally screamed in fury and shot a beam of energy from it. The Moblin was hit directly at point blank range, and was killed. Mirren rested for a second, and heard a Moblin charging behind him. He spun around and blocked the shot the Moblin targeted at Mirren. They both grappled, and Mirren realized he wouldn’t be winning this one. The Moblin pushed him away, and Mirren was sent flying. He crashed into the ground, and groaned a little from the pain. The Moblin smirked, and charged at the downed Mirren. He lifted his head up, and saw the Moblin coming. The beast roared and went for a stab at Mirren. But the boy rolled away just in time and got. The Moblin now tried to slash at him, but Mirren used his short size to his advantage and ducked. The spear flew right over him, and Mirren lunged at the Moblin. He stuck the Goddesses’ Sword out, and stabbed the Moblin through. It gasped from the pain, and its mouth hung open as blood trickled from it. It dropped its spear, and fell backwards dead. Mirren glared at the Moblin, but soon lost his focus on it as another ran at him. It tried to run him through with its spear, but Mirren jumped up and landed on it as it dug into the ground. The Moblin tried to pull it out of the stone floor, but it was stuck, and Mirren already jumped at him. He pulled the Goddesses’ Sword back, and slashed the Moblin right across the face. It let out one grunt of pain, and fell sideways as its wound opened up and bled. Mirren looked at the dead Moblin’s great gash for a second, and saw another, and the final Moblin running at him. He turned around, and narrowed his eyes at the creature. It roared in rage, and charged at full speed. Mirren narrowed his eyes, and got in a battle position. The Moblin got closer and closer, and Mirren finally screamed in fury and lunged at the Moblin. He was rather low to the ground, and Moblin instantly realized he was in trouble. Mirren flew past the Moblin, and sliced its leg with a clean cut of his blade. The Moblin yelled out in pain, and fell backwards as he clutched his bleeding leg. He dropped the spear, and lay on the ground riving in pain. Mirren then jumped on his chest, and glared into the Moblin’s fearful eyes. Mirren then put the Goddesses’ Sword to the Moblin’s neck, and grasped in with both hands tightly. He lifted the blade up, and brought it down again. The Goddesses’ turned away for a second, and when they looked back Mirren had gotten off the Moblin and quickly cleaned the blood off his sword with a cloth. He finished, and put the cloth away.

“You guys ready?” he asked. Farore nodded, and Din and Nayru did also.

“Yes, now we gotta fight the Iron Knuckles on the next floor” replied Din, “let’s go guys.” Everyone nodded, and they ran out of the room and up the stairs to the second floor of the tower. They ran and ran up the second flight of stairs, and said nothing the whole way. They were totally silent, thinking only of defeating the remaining enemies, so Mirren would be able to get up to the throne room and finally begin his fight against Ganondorf and Emralda. They ran for quite a while, but after a little bit finally came to the door. Din opened it up, and the three went into the second floor room. Oddly; there was nothing in it.

“What in the world……?” said Mirren. They all walked into the middle of the room, and suddenly, one by one, twenty black Iron Knuckles surrounded them. Din narrowed her eyes, and created a fireball in her hand.

“Alright guys….let’s take ‘em out!!” she yelled, and shot the fireball at an Iron Knuckles who was instantly killed. Farore and Nayru attacked their own set of Iron Kunckles, and so did Mirren.

He grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands, and flew at an Iron Knuckle with a yell of fury. He went for a cut, but the Iron Knuckle blocked that. They grappled for a second, and Mirren jumped over him. He landed on his feet, and was about to attack the Iron Knuckle before another came running at him. He was soon only a few feet away, and when the Iron Knuckle Mirren had been fighting before swung his axe around, Mirren jumped away and the other Iron Knuckle was smacked. Mirren then lunged at the old Iron Knuckle and sliced the head off. It fell off, and Mirren cut the armored warrior in two. As its armor began falling apart, the Iron Knuckle that had been hit by the other ran at Mirren again to attack him. The warrior boy saw him coming, and dodged the Iron Knuckle’s attack. The huge battle axe crashed into the ground, and got stuck. Mirren took this opportunity to attack, and rushed at him. The Iron Knuckle froze, and Mirren did a slash across his body. It broke into two, and its armor slowly disappeared. Mirren saw two more Iron Knuckles charging at him, and decided to finish them off quickly. He pointed his blade at them, and it glowed blue. Even though the Iron Knuckles were only seconds from death, they still rushed at Mirren. He finally shot the beam of energy from the Goddesses’ Sword, and destroyed both Iron Knuckles with it. The blast disintegrated them both, but Mirren still had one Iron Knuckle to deal with. It went for a vertical slash of its axe, but Mirren lifted the Goddesses’ Sword up just in time to block the attack. They both grappled, and Iron Knuckle suddenly brought his axe back and went for another slash at Mirren. He lifted up the Goddesses’ Sword to block the shot, but the force of it still sent him flying. He landed hard on the ground, and the Iron Knuckle at him. Mirren rubbed the back of his throbbing head, and looked up to see the oncoming Iron Knuckle, and knew he needed to get up and fight or he was dead. He grabbed the Goddesses’ Sword, and the Iron Knuckle brought his battle axe down. Mirren once again blocked the attack, and tried to push it back up to escape as he still lay on the ground. The Iron Knuckle was getting annoyed, and lifted his one foot up. He brought it down, and Mirren froze at the last second when he saw it. The huge black foot of armor smashed into his stomach, and Mirren screamed in pain. It felt like when the possessed Link smashed his onto his chest, except this was five times worse since the Iron Knuckle’s foot was nothing but hard armor. The Iron Knuckle finally brought his foot up, and Mirren clutched his stomach as he rived in pain. The Iron Knuckle knew Mirren wouldn’t be able to fight back, so he once again lifted his battle axe up, and brought it down. The huge axe came falling down at the defenseless Mirren, and was about to just dig into him. But at the last second, Mirren grabbed the Goddesses’ Sword and rolled the away. The Iron Knuckle was shocked at what just happened, and stumbled forward. Mirren narrowed his eyes and ran him. He flew by him, and there was a flash from the Goddesses’ Sword. The Iron Knuckle collapsed, and Mirren simply stood glaring down at it. It just lay there for a few moments before it finally broke in pieces. Mirren looked away from it, and watched as the Goddesses finally finished off their final Iron Knuckles. Once they did, he walked over to them.

“You guys alright?” he asked. They all nodded.

“Yes, we’re fine, nothing bad happened” answered Nayru. Mirren nodded.

“Okay, then I guess we’re one floor away from Ganondorf and Emralda……” he said. Farore smirked.

“Well, we are, but you’re only one…..” she corrected. Mirren looked a little confused for a second, but remembered that the only they would be fighting on that floor.

“Oh yeah, why exactly are you guys doing that again?” he asked. Farore smiled.

“I’ll tell ya on the way up there…..” she said, and ran over to the door. Din and Nayru followed her, and three began going up the stairs. Mirren shrugged, and went up after them. Like before when they very first entered the tower, Mirren quickly caught up to them, and they all ran up the long tower stair flight together. Mirren ran up right up to Farore.

“So, why are you guys gonna fight on that floor and not me?” he asked. Farore didn’t look at him, but still kept running.

“Because we’re not gonna take the chance of you getting hurt at all now” she answered, “I have a feeling that these three mystery foes are greatly powerful, and if something bad happens to you you’ll be at a disadvantage when fighting Ganondorf and Emralda. You need your complete power and energy if you have any chance of defeating them…..”

“Yeah, I’m kinda worried about these guys” added Din. Nayru looked a little surprised.

“Why is that?” she asked. Din bowed her head a little.

“Because while feeling their energies, they actually felt familiar” she answered, “like we’ve seen them before, but they’re stronger this time. I have no idea what they could be, except that we’ve probably seen them before, and they’re a lot stronger this time…….” Mirren was now also a little worried at Din’s words. He narrowed his eyes, and looked determined.

“You can defeat them though Din, all of you…..” he said, “you guys are the Goddesses of Hyrule, I have more confidence in you to help me defeat some enemy just as much as I do in Link. You guys can do it…….” They all finally came to the door to the third floor room, and Din closed her head as bowed her head once again.

“Let’s just hope for that Mirren…….” She said, and opened up the door. They all went in, and once again found it empty. They all moved into the room a little farther, but still nothing appeared to fight them. They were all a little surprised, and looked around in confusion.

“I don’t get it, where is everything?” asked Farore. No one answered; they all just looked around and tried to figure out what was going on. Mirren began getting closer to the other door, and still looked around. He was now only a few feet away from the stair steps that led up to the door, and suddenly a very dark blue, thick and odd looking water began oozing out through the wall. It began to slowly come out, and move around the room. It began making large puddles and began to take some into tentacles. Everyone gasped watched in shock. Finally, one huge tentacle formed, and a strange looking, nucleus type thing appeared in it. Nayru gasped and put her hand over her mouth.

“Morpha……” she whispered. Then a cackling of a witch was heard, and everyone looked around to see where it was coming from. There was a flash of red and blue, and the fused form of Koume and Kotake appeared, Twinrova the Sorceress. Din’s eyes widened in shock, and then there was loud drumming being heard. Everyone looked a little afraid, and suddenly a great shadow creature appeared. It had one long red eye, two huge floating hands, and a great black body. Farore narrowed her eyes.

“Bongo Bongo……” she said. The three great past enemies of Link stared at the Goddesses and Mirren, and looked like they were ready to attack. Twinrova did, and shot a blast of fire at Din. The Goddess of Power deflected the attack, and shot her own blast of fire at the witch. She froze, and fireball hit her and burnt her. She yelled out in pain, and crashed into the wall. Din glared at her, and looked back at everyone else.

“I’ll take Twinrova!” she said, and flew at her. Farore then looked at Bongo Bongo.

“I’ll get him!” she yelled, and also flew at him. Nayru then looked at Morpha.

“Well it looks like I’ve got Morpha!” she said, and shot two eyes at the nucleus part. It hit directly, and made the huge tentacle thrash around from the pain. She looked over at Mirren. “Go Mirren!!!” she yelled, “go and fight Ganondorf and Emralda once and for all!!!! Save everyone!!! I know you can do it!!!” Mirren nodded, and ran up the steps to the door. He opened it up, and took one last look at the Goddesses as they fought against the great enemies. He bowed his head, and began to make his way up the stairs. As he ran, he thought of everything that had happened to him only within the past few days. How he saved Nepsana from the Moblins and helped her defeat Varnash. The time when Goldenfire was killed right before his eyes. When he watched the Six Sages get captured and when he and Link fought Magna Volvagia. When Link was possessed and almost got killed by protecting Zelda from him. When he saw Ganondorf kill Faria and take Zelda, Nepsana, and Link through the portal. And up to today when he finally reunited with the Goddesses.

Then he thought of all the people he needed to save now. The Six Sages; Rauru, Saria Darunia, Ruto, Impa, and Nabooru. The six friends of his that helped him in his fist fight with Ganondorf and Emralda. He then thought of Taursus, his big buddy in a way. His Minotaur friend that was as big as his own heart. The one who saved him in the battle at Goron City, and who helped him defeat the Evil Phoenix. He thought of Mardera, the Gerudo whom he saved from The Ogre Pirates. The one who helped him defeat them, Captain Gorg, and the Sea Serpent. The one who he had first brought to live with him Hyrule Castle, and befriend her eternally. He then thought of Nepsana, the teenage girl who was one of his best friends. The girl who he and Link saved from Varnash’s Moblins, and the girl who he helped defeat Varnash with. The girl who he considered his own friend on the day he met her. He finally thought of his two most loved ones; Link and Zelda. He literally did love Zelda with his crush on her, and was more determined as ever to rescue her. He felt like she was his big sister in a way, and they were really the best of friends. The many things she had done for him; calling him cute, carrying him to his room when he was injured, hugging him, and especially the kiss she gave him on the night he defeated Ganondorf and Emralda for the first time. All these things had led to his crush for her, and he was set on saving her and celebrating the greatest birthday of his life with her. Then Link finally came in. His big brother whom he loved so much. The one who had felt closest to, his last living family member. He still remembered the embrace they both shared on the day they met, and ever since then they were brothers to the end. He would always remember the adventures they had, the battles they fought together, the hard times they went through together, the times they comforted each other, and all the happy times they had. He had only known Link for about two months, but felt like he had known him for years. It was that brotherly love he had for him, and it was something Link had too. This was the thing that made as close as they were, and the thing that would always keep them together.

Mirren finally came to the doors that were the entrance to the throne room. He put his hand on them, and grasped the Goddesses’s Sword with the other. He thought of everything and all of his friends in a split second, and finally narrowed his eyes. He looked straight forward, and went through the doors and into the room where his final battle would take place……….

Mirren walked into the room, it was pretty much the same as last time. It was pretty dark now, but a few torches and wall lanterns gave enough light. High on the walls were also demon and gargoyle statues. The floor and walls were a dark grey stone color, and very hard. Orange-yellow stain glass widows surrounded the room on the walls also, and at the far end was the throne. It was nicely sized, with red carpeting and golden chairs with all sorts of gems wedged in. Everyone instantly turned their attention to him. They all gasped, but were a little relieved he had finally arrived. They all looked down at the young, soon to be 12 year old boy, carrying the Goddesses’ Sword, and wearing the great battle armor given to him by the Sages. He looked up at all the captives, and he could see that everyone was afraid, even Link looked a little worried. He saw the Sages, Taursus, Mardera, Nepsana, Zelda, Link, and gasped when he suddenly saw the terrified Malon and worried Teerlis. He looked shock, and heard a familiar, quiet laugh. He looked over to where the throne was, and finally saw Ganondorf and Emralda standing there, both with evil smiles on their faces.

“A little surprised to see your ranch friends huh Mirren?” Ganondorf asked mockingly. Anger lit up in Mirren’s eyes, and he gritted his teeth.

“Why did you bring them here?” he asked scornfully, “they have no great power you can steal from them to get stronger…….” Emralda stepped forward and smirked.

“You’re right on that Mirren, but you see, we really didn’t care that they didn’t have great energy” she began, “but they’re great friends of yours, and we wanted to let them see your final battle…….” Ganondorf smiled.

“Yes, to see the last battle you’ll ever fight, the battle in which you shall die…….” He added. Mirren narrowed his eyes.

“I’m still gonna fight, no matter what…….” He said. Emralda grinned.

“Do you really think you can beat us?” she asked, “even with this incredible amount of energy in us, you still think you can win?” Mirren looked straight into her pale green, Gerudo eyes.

“I know the odds are against me, I know you’re both much stronger than me…..” he began, “……but I’m still gonna fight you both. I know that my odds of winning are very narrow, but I’m making an oath that I will fight you both with every single ounce of energy and power in my body. I have a very good chance of losing, but I’m going to find a way to kill you both. I’m going to make sure you both are dead once and for all no matter how much stronger you are, because the lives of my friends are on the line, and I won’t let a single one die any more……….” Ganondorf smirked, and was a little surprised by Mirren’s words.

“Well, you’re certainly determined” he replied, “You would even save them and defeat us at the cost of your life?” Mirren nodded.

“Yes……..” he answered. Ganondorf smirked, and let out a diabolical laugh.

“Ha! You fool boy!! You’re that stupid that you’d even give up your own life to save your friends…” he began, “you’re as dense as before young one. You talk big, and you’re so content on defeating us and rescuing your friends, and also making sure birthday goes well tomorrow…….but I guess that’s just too bad!!! Kid, you don’t stand a chance, I’ll give you one opportunity to run away and save yourself. If you refuse this one, then you’re going to have to fight us until one of us dies……” Everyone looked worried, and waited for Mirren’s answer as they all looked at him. He looked up at them, and thought about how important they really were to him. And he’d be a lot happier if he only died, and not all of them. He looked back at Ganondorf and Emralda, and grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands now.

“Fine then………I guess I’ll fight……” he replied. Every one of the captives gasped, and were shocked by his answer…….except one. Link smiled.

“That’s my little bro, not afraid of anything……” he said. Impa looked very serious.

“Yes, but will he really be able to defeat them, I mean they must be at least double his power!” she exclaimed. Link now looked a little more serious, and also worried. Zelda narrowed her eyes, and looked determined.

“He can do it…..” she began, “Mirren is a boy whose heart is bigger than anyone else in Hyrule. He has a greater chance of losing than ever, but he’ll still fight to the very end. And even if the odds are against him…..he’ll still win!!!!” Ganondorf smiled sinisterly, and looked up at Zelda.

“Well, you certainly think he’ll defeat us, you have quite a lot of confidence in your little boy……” he replied in a jeering sort of way. Zelda narrowed her eyes at Ganondorf.

“You’re darn right I think he can win, I know he can! And I do have pure confidence in him!!!” she yelled. Mirren blushed a little, and Ganondorf laughed again.

“Heh, you’re another fool Zelda….” He said, “He has no chance of surviving, but we’ll give him a little break.” Ganondorf now looked at Mirren. “We won’t have him fight the both of us at the same time, I mean he’ll get killed too easily then. So instead we’ll fight him one by one. Emralda will fight first, and if he ~somehow~ wins, then I’ll fight him.” Everyone was a little shocked, and Mirren couldn’t believe what they were doing. Emralda tightened her grip on her staff, and walked off the throne and onto the stone floor.

“Thank you brother” she said. She now smiled wickedly at Mirren. “Are you ready to die boy?” she asked. Mirren narrowed his eyes, and grasped the Goddesses’ Sword tighter as he got in a battle position.

“Bring it…….” He said quietly but scornfully. Emralda smiled evilly, and lunged at Mirren with her staff in hand. Zelda looked at Link a little worried and confused.

“Why are they fighting him one by one, he now has a much greater chance of killing them, why are they practically evening the odds when they could finish him off right now?” she asked. Link didn’t turn to her; he only looked down at the grinning Ganondorf. He had his arms crossed, and had an evil glee in his eyes. Link shook his head.

“I don’t know Zelda” he answered, “but something’s up, and I don’t like it one bit……..”

Emralda screamed in fury at she targeted a stab of her crystal, diamond-like emerald at the top of her staff. It was a powerful attack, but nothing Mirren would have trouble with. He lifted up the Goddesses’ Sword and blocked the attack with ease. Emralda pulled it back, and went to crack it over his skull. As it came down, Mirren jumped backwards, and avoided it. It smashed into the ground, but Emralda pulled it back up and rushed at Mirren once again. She did a diagonal slash right at him, but Mirren blocked it with his blade once again. Emralda seemed frustrated and annoyed, and she screamed as she lunged at Mirre once again. She went for another stab, but Mirren had brought the Goddesses’ Sword up once again and blocked it. He glared at her, and she gritted her teeth. But suddenly, Emralda smiled evilly, and the emerald began to glow. Mirren’s eyes lit up with fear, and she screamed as she shot a dark yellow energy bolt from the staff. It Mirren at point blank range, and scorched his body with its dark energy. He was sent flying into the wall, and crashed into it hard. He rived in pain from the attack, and his smoked a little from the energy bolt. Emralda smiled wickedly.

“Take this boy!!!” she screamed, and shot another bolt of energy at Mirren. Everyone gasped, and watched as the blast of energy got closer to Mirren. He slowly lifted his head up, and saw the bolt. It looked like he’d suffer another painful hit, but he suddenly sprang up and slashed the bolt with his sword. It was sent flying back at Emralda, and she froze as her own attack came closer and closer to her. It soon hit her, and she yelled out in pain from its energy. It burnt her, and pounded her body with its great energy. Mirren grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands, and flew at Emralda. He screamed in fury and rage, and did a jumping slash. It connected with her left arm, and she roared in pain as it sliced right through. She was knocked back a few feet, and landed on the hard stone floor. She groaned in pain, and began to clutch her wounded arm. It stung when she did this, and the dark green material began to turn red around her arm. She removed her hand as she slowly got up, revealing a great slash mark on her arm. Everyone gasped, and was shocked at the great wound, and the great deal of blood that was coming out of it. Mirren had now drawn first blood on Emralda with that attack. She slowly got up, and looked at her wound. She gasped at first, but soon gritted her teeth. She screamed in rage, and flew at Mirren. She attacked with her staff, and Mirren was able to block the shot. She pulled it back, and began to hack away at him. Shot after shot came flying at him from her staff, but Mirren was able to block every one of them with the Goddesses’ Sword. She began to grow frustrated, and lashed out like a savage beast. She slashed Mirren across the face with her staff, and he grunted in pain as he was floored. He smashed into the hard ground, and everyone gasped. A small cut appeared on his right cheek, and it opened up and bled. Emralda smirked.

“Ha! Come on boy; let’s see what else I can do to you…….” She said. Mirren narrowed his eyes, and got up. The second he did, she flew at him and aimed a slash at his stomach. He saw the attack coming, and blocked it with ease. At first Emralda looked angry, but she suddenly grinned. She pulled the staff back in a second and did a vertical slash on his forehead. He yelled out in pain again, and was knocked back a few feet. He landed hard on the ground, and another cut, this time on his forehead, opened up and bled. The blood slowly ran down the middle of his face, and everyone watching looked a little worried. Zelda put her hand over her mouth, and slowly pulled it down as she spoke.

“Mirren……” she whispered. Emralda looked up at her and grinned.

“Afraid now that he’s hurt Zelda?” she asked, “Well you should be!! Mirren is a tough kid, but he’s nothing compared to me now. I’m much too strong, and after that little attack I doubt if he’s got anything left in him. I mean, after all, that was quite a hit!” Emralda let out a wicked laugh, and everyone looked afraid. But suddenly, Mirren just sat up, and got up on his feet. Emralda instantly stopped laughing. She gasped, and her mouth dropped. Mirren simply stood there glaring her with the blood still on his face from both hits.

“Are you proud Emralda?” he asked, “Are you proud that you got two little hits in on me? Are you proud that you knocked me down twice? Are you proud that you made me bleed? If you are…….you’re pathetic…….” Everyone else was shocked too, and Emralda couldn’t believe her eyes.

“How did you get up so easily????” she asked. Mirren narrowed his eyes.

“Did you really think that two weak attacks like that would actually keep me down for much longer?” he asked back. Link grinned.

“There ya go Mirren……you really just freaked her out with that…….” He whispered. And he did. Emralda looked shocked, and her eyes showed that. But she was soon just angered by the fact that her attacks didn’t do much to Mirren, and she lunged at him with a yell of fury. She did a jumping slash, but Mirren lifted up the Goddesses’ Sword with one hand and blocked it. Emralda gritted her teeth, and Mirren pulled out the Ice Diamond and charged it up.

“Let me show you real power………” he said, and fired a beam of ice from the Ice Diamond. It struck her at point blank range, and froze her as she was sent flying across the room. She landed hard on the stone floor, and some of the ice still on her cracked. She lay on the ground trembling from the cold, and Impa looked shocked.

“I don’t get it, she should be literally massacring Mirren, but why is he destroyer her so easily?” she asked. Link now realized what she was saying was true, and shook his head.

“I don’t know Impa, you’re right though, it’s odd” he began, “Emralda has all of our powers and the Triforce of Wisdom in her, and yet it seems Mirren somehow is evenly matched with her, or even has the upper hand! It doesn’t make sense; do you think he got some power boost or something?” Impa now shook her head.

“I’d doubt it, we would’ve been able to feel the energy” she answered. Zelda now looked over at her.

“Then what’s going on Impa?” she asked. Impa looked a little worried, and very serious. She looked over at Ganondorf, who was stilling smiling so evilly.

“I don’t know Zelda, but I don’t like the look of what’s going on around here……..” she answered.

All the ice on Emralda had now either thawed off or broke apart. It was incredibly cold, and she still trembled a little from it as she got up. She lifted her head up, and saw Mirren still glaring at her. He was still bleeding a little from his wounds, and he was holding the Goddesses’ Sword. She breathed heavily from the exhaustion and pain, but she suddenly grinned and her eyes lit up with evil glee. Mirren looked a little shocked, and froze in surprised as she shot an energy bolt at him. He watched as the bolt got closer to him, and he grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands tightly as he readied to knock it back at Emralda. He was just about to slash at it, but it suddenly flew down and exploded on the ground before him. It didn’t hit him, but the illumination blinded him for a second, and he was forced to cover his eyes. It was a big mistake, and a painful one at that. Just then Emralda fired another energy bolt, and it hit Mirren head on. He screamed in pain, and was sent flying. The bolt burnt him and crushed him with its power and energy, and he smacked hard into the ground. He groaned in pain as he lay there on the ground from the attack, and Emralda laughed evilly.

“Well, that certainly must’ve surprised you boy” she spoke, “I new you’d fall for something like that. You were foolish Mirren, you should’ve just dodged that attack instead of trying to be all tough and knock it back at me; that was truly your downfall, and you obviously paid for it..........” Everyone looked afraid, and they all watched on in worry as Mirren still lay there riving in pain. Emralda smiled diabolically, and she pointed her staff at Mirren. The emerald began to glow. “Say goodbye boy!!!!” she yelled. Everyone watched gasped.

“Mirren!!! Roll away now!!!” Taursus bellowed.

“Get outta there kid!!!” Mardera shouted.

“Mirren!!!! Don’t die!!! Escape please!!!” Zelda yelled.

“Bro!!!! Whatever happens……please don’t die!!!! Get away……NOOOOOW!!!!” Link screamed at the top of his lungs. But Mirren didn’t do anything, he still just lay there moaning. Emralda laughed evilly.

“You now finally die Mirren!!!” she exclaimed, and laughed again as she prepared to fire the energy bolt out. Tears formed in Zelda’s eyes, and Link froze in terror. But suddenly, Mirren opened his eyes and sprang up as if nothing happened to him. He pointed the Goddesses’ Sword out at Emralda, and it began glowing a light blue. Emralda froze, and her face began to grow pale as she gasped in fear. Mirren narrowed his eyes, and screamed in rage as he unleashed the beam of energy from the sword. It struck Emralda at point blank range, and blew her away. She screamed in pain as she was sent flying, and Mirren pulled out the Thunder Diamond. It began to glow a dark yellow color, and Mirren charged it up. Emralda hovered in mid air for a second, and Mirren shot a blast of thunder from the Thunder Diamond as he yelled out from the immense power he was using. Emralda saw the thunderbolt coming at her, and couldn’t believe what was happening. It hit her, and annihilated her with its awesome power and energy. It blew her body away, and she roared in pain as it engulfed her and pounded against her. She was knocked back a few more feet, and landed on the ground a bloody, charred, and wounded mess.

Everyone couldn’t believe what they had just seen. They all stood in their crystal prisons frozen in shock. Their jaws dropped, and their eyes widened in shock. They all just looked down at the half-dead Emralda. Mirren only glared at her, and showed no remorse whatsoever for the great attack he just massacred her with. She moaned from the great pain, and slowly lifted herself up. She could only sit up a little, and she grabbed her staff. She looked at Mirren, and breathed heavily from her pain and fatigue.

“How are you so strong?” she asked. Mirren still glared at her.

“I’m as surprised as you Emralda” he replied, “I have no idea why I’m defeating you so easily, maybe it’s just because I’m stronger than you, even when you have the Sages and all of my friends’ powers………..” Emralda gasped, and looked afraid. Mirren held the Goddesses’ Sword with one hand, and pointed it at her. “Now…….you will die for the pain and suffering you’ve caused for me and my friends…………” The blade began to glow blue again, and it looked as if Emralda would be killed my Mirren once again. He still lay on the ground looking at Mirren with her fearful face……..but it suddenly changed. She grinned, and her eyes lit up with that evil glee as usual. She lifted up her staff, and tapped it once on the floor. Mirren stopped charging up the Goddesses’ Sword, and stared at Emralda with a flummoxed expression. She still grinned, and began to laugh evilly. Everyone else watching looked confused also. They had no idea what was going on, but were afraid. Malon finally noticed that the one part of the wall was opening up again.

“Oh no……….she’s gonna make ~him~ attack…….” She whispered. Everyone now knew also, and froze as they saw the wall slowly lift up and reveal a space of darkness. There were two yellow eyes, a shining of armor, and a low growling heard. Link gasped, and his eyes lit up with fear. Blackfang then suddenly jumped out of the blackness.

“Look out Mirren!!!!!!” Zelda screamed. He heard Zelda, and finally saw Blackfang rushing at him in his battle armor. The great panther jumped right at him, and rammed him. Mirren was hit head on, and grunted as he was knocked flat. Blackfang snarled at him, and Mirren groaned in pain. He slowly got up, and Blackfang swiped one of his claws at him. Mirren lifted the Goddesses’ Sword up just in time, and blocked the shot. But the force of the hit was so powerful that it made him stagger back a few feet. Blackfang attacked relentlessly, and went for another swipe. This one hit Mirren, and he screamed in pain as he felt the claws go right through the armor and slice him open. He was sent flying, and landed hard on the ground. Everyone gasped from the hit, and watched in horror as Mirren lay on the ground riving in pain. Blackfang seemed happy at his success, but still snarled and kept his eyes on Mirren. The young boy tried to ignore his great pain, and slowly got himself up. Blackfang leapt at him once again, and crushed Mirren with his huge claw. Mirren lay on his stomach and roared in pain as the Blackfang’s claws dug into his body.

“MIRREEEEEEEN!!!!!!!” Link screamed.

“No Mirren! Noooooooo!!!!!” Zelda screamed as tears formed in her eyes. Everyone gasped and froze in terror. Blackfang let out another roar, and kept his mouth open. He was then about to bring his jaws down onto Mirren’s head, but Emralda suddenly lifted herelf up and threw her hand out. Blackfang instantly stopped moving, and stood with his mouth around Mirren’s head.

“No more Blackfang” she said, “I’ll finish him now………” Everyone looked terrified as Emralda smiled so diabolically. Blackfang moved away from Mirren, and Emralda threw her staff out. The emerald began to glow, and she began to laugh evilly. “Now boy……..you finally die!!!!!!” she yelled. She was then just about to shoot an energy bolt before a huge fireball crashed through one of the stain glass windows and hit her head on. She screamed in pain as it scorched her body, and was sent flying backwards. Everyone gasped and looked over to the broken window as Goldwing soared rough through it and into the room. Blackfang looked up at the great phoenix, and couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Goldwing flew at the great panther and rammed into him as he racked him with his talons. Blackfang hollowed in pain as he felt the sharp talons right through his armor and cut his skin wide open. He was sent flying also, and landed hard on the ground underneath all the captives. All of their mouths dropped, and their eyes widened in shock at the sight of the huge golden bird. Ganondorf smirked.

“So the boy has a new companion huh…………interesting………” he said to himself in his head. Blackfang groaned in pain, and slowly lifted himself up. Goldwing seemed to narrow his eyes, and flew at him with a screech. He landed in front of him, and smacked the giant panther across the face with one of his wings. Blackfang grunted in pain, and was knocked sideways for a second. Goldwing attacked again with his wing, but Blackfang saw it coming this time and dodged it. He lunged at him, and slashed the golden phoenix across the face. He screeched in pain, and was knocked down. Blackfang snarled at Goldwing, and jumped at him again to attack. Mirren could see Goldwing needed a little help, and quickly got up as he pulled out the Fire Diamond. He charged it up, and shot a blast of fire from it. It soared through the air, and finally hit Blackfang. He roared in pain as it burned his body and charred his great armor. He was stopped from attacking Goldwing, and was sent flying backwards from the fire. Mirren narrowed his eyes.

“Finish him off Goldwing!!!!!” he yelled out. The golden phoenix lifted himself up, and began to hover in the air. He glared at Blackfang, and simply stared at him as he waited for the huge panther to get back up. Blackfang groaned in pain, and slowly lifted himself onto his feet. The panther finally was able to stand up; but only to his demise. Goldwing screeched, and shot a beam of fire from his mouth. It rocketed out and flew right at Blackfang until it finally hit him and burned him. He roared in agony, and his armor began to char even more as his skin was scorched. He was sent flying once again, and landed near Emralda. She finally lifted herself up, and almost fell back down when she saw Blackfang. She gasped, and couldn’t believe it. He lay with his now mostly black armor and badly burnt skin. There were a few places on his body where almost all of the hair was burnt off, and it left nothing more but charred flesh. He still smoked, and Emralda was shocked to see her pet and protector dead. He mouth dropped, and she couldn’t speak. Only gasps came out. She suddenly heard some energizing-type noise, and looked over at Goldwing. The great golden phoenix had wrapped his wings around Mirren, and they were glowing. Every watched in confusion as the great bird did this, and he soon finally removed his wings, revealing a completely healed Mirren. Emralda gasped again, and slowly backed off. Mirren glared at her.

“You and everyone else are probably still wondering who this great bird is, so I’ll tell you……” he began, “this is Goldwing. He is a golden phoenix, and was a companion of the Goddesses at one time. When I had met them once again, they gave me him as my new friend and protector, since you and Ganondorf killed Goldenfire. Now we fight together, as friends………” Emralda looked terrified, and Mirren now grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands. He narrowed his eyes. “Now Emralda…………you die once and for all…………….” Emralda at first still looked afraid, but she soon narrowed her own eyes and screamed in rage.


Okay, this is the first part of chapter 9 I'll post the second part on another post along with the final chapter. Please review this, and once I do the rest please review the second part of this chapter, and then the final chapter seperatly, but still on one post.

Here's part 2 of chapter 9.

“Never!!!!” she yelled out, “I won’t die to you once again boy!!!” The emerald at the top of her staff glowed, and began to continuously fire off energy bolt after bolt. Mirren narrowed his eyes again, and ran at Emralda. The bolts came flying at him, but he’d simply evade every single one. Emralda gritted her teeth, and began to fire more. Mirren realized it’d be incredibly hard now to dodge them, so he tightened his grip on his blade, and began to slash each bolt away. He kept on running, and Emralda kept on shooting energy bolts. But Mirren kept on slashing them away, and he was soon close enough to her, and just lunged at Emralda with a yell of fury. Emralda froze in terror, and stopped shooting the energy bolts; she knew her life was over. Mirren pulled the Goddesses’ Sword back, and finally drove it through Emralda’s stomach. She gasped from the pain as the sacred blade ran her through, and she felt her life-force slowly slip away. Everyone else watching (besides Ganondorf) gasped at the attack, and some turned away as Mirren stabbed Emralda so powerfully. Blood trickled from her mouth, and she lost her grip on her staff. Mirren finally pulled the blade out, revealing a terrible gash in her stomach, and a now bloody dress. The great amount of blood from this attack now began to turn her dark green robe a crimson red, and she staggered backwards over to the throne. Ganondorf smirked, and walked over to her. He still had his arms crossed as he walked, and he had an evil grin. He finally was right next to her, and she fell right into his arms. He cradled her from her waist up, but she still stood on her feet, Ganondorf only held her up. She looked up at him with her pale face, and an expression of pain and shock. “I’m sorry that I failed brother, I’m sorry that I let that boy disgrace us once again by killing me………..forgive me……….” She whispered. Everyone now waited to see Ganondorf mourn again like he did before when she died, but he only smiled wickedly.

“No…..forgive me my sister……” he replied. Everyone looked confused, and gave off a flummoxed expression, including Emralda. Ganondorf smirked. “Yes, forgive me what I did” he began, “do you know why you were defeated so easily?” he asked. Mirren now realized he really didn’t too much trouble against her in the fight, and also now realized how odd that was since she had so much power. Emralda shook her head even though she didn’t understand anything. Ganondorf quietly laughed. “Well, that’s because all of the power from the Sages, and Mirren’s friends……..went only to me…..” Everyone gasped, and Emralda looked thunderstruck. Everyone’s jaws dropped, and they looked as shocked as ever. Ganondorf smiled evilly. “That’s right, the only bit of power you ever got was the Triforce of Wisdom, and that obviously wasn’t enough to kill Mirren. Ya see my sister, if we split the powers equally, Mirren would’ve destroyed us too easily, but if only one of us got the power, and all of it, then he wouldn’t stand a chance. And that’s how it’s going to be with me, because now, I’m taking the Triforce of Wisdom from you to this second.” Suddenly Emralda’s arm floated up into the air, and her hand glowed. The Triforce of Wisdom appeared, and it slowly lifted itself out of her hand. Ganondorf smiled sinisterly, and he grabbed the Triforce piece. It made its way into his hand, and soon the three regular pieces of the Triforce formed on the back of his hand. He laughed wickedly. “I’m sorry I had to do this my sister………but only the strongest deserve to live, and today that’s me………” He laughed again, and Emralda still looked at him shocked. But she finally closed her eyes, and her head fell back as her body went limp. Ganondorf smiled evilly, and placed her down on the floor. He stood up, and still looked down at his dead sister with the same evil grin. Mirren narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

“You sick, evil, disgusting fool Ganondorf……..” he whispered, “how could you ever do such a terrible thing to your own sister…………?” Ganondorf looked up at him and smirked.

“Do you really think it didn’t hurt me to do that?” he asked, “well it did boy; it was hard for me to do that. But I had to, because this is a world where the only the strongest survive, and she was no where near close in that category. Mirren looked enraged.

“You fool!!!” he screamed, “even if you wouldn’t be stronger, you should never do anything like that to your own flesh and blood!!!! A sibling relationship should be treasured by both people. It doesn’t matter if they’re brother and sister, sister and sister, or brother and brother, the point is you’re family, close as can be………and you just totally ignored that and killed your own sister you sick freak!!!!” Nepsana looked just as angry as Mirren, and so did all the other captives.

“She would’ve never had done anything like that ever to you Ganondorf!!” she yelled.

“You have no remorse or sorrow for your dead sister even when you were the main cause of it, you have no heart Ganondorf!!” Saria said.

“She loved you as a brother Ganondorf, and stuck by your side the whole time, and this is how you repay her!!??” Nabooru shouted.

“Mirren’s right, a sibling relationship is a special treasure that both people should be happy about and try to keep it together, and all you did was take advantage of it to get more power!!” Zelda exclaimed. Ganondorf took all the cusses and insults without showing barely any emotion or anger. But he soon smiled evilly and let out an evil laugh.

“Ha!! You all may be right, but you must remember that I am the true evil of Hyrule, and when it comes to my glory of killing all of you and being the strongest being in Hyrule, not even family can get in the way!!” he replied.

“You deserve to die Ganondorf!!!” Link screamed.

“Yeah!! And I’ll be the one to make sure that happens!!” Mirren added. Ganondorf smirked, and laughed wickedly once again. He laughed for a good few seconds, but finally stopped as he looked at Mirren. He seemed amused by his words.

“Heh, you talk big kid, surprisingly considering how small you are” he countered. Mirren narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, but Ganondorf still smiled wickedly. “So, you say you’re gonna kill me and save all your friends huh? Well then……let’s see you actually do it………” Ganondorf now grinned, and showed the back of his hand to Mirren. The three regular pieces of the Triforce appeared on it, and he screamed with power. Huge gusts of wind were created, and he surrounded by a pillar of black energy. The ground beneath him began to crack a little, and so did a lot of the windows. Soon, he unleashed so much power that the widows shattered, and everyone gasped at Ganondorf’s awesome. Mirren watched as he powered up and gathered all of his energy, and he realized now what Ganondorf was doing. The Scourge of Hyrule let out one more yell, and he began to change. His blood red hair turned into fire, and so did his red eyes. His green skin darkened, and his huge muscles bulged even more. His black and blue armor grew darker, and the black of it was like the night dark. On his arms grew out a line of small, short black spikes, from the sides of his wrists all the way to his shoulders. Then up there, a huge curved bone sprouted on each shoulder. Finally a great battle sword appeared in his hand. Unlike before, it wasn’t his normal arched one. This time it was different. It was a one –edged sword, with a flat but still sharp left side, and then a full edged right side. He finally stopped screaming, and looked at Mirren with an evil smile. Mirren froze, and couldn’t believe he was seeing Ganondorf’s ultimate form once again. Everyone else also looked terrified, and were very afraid for Mirren, and themselves. Suddenly, the doors to the throne opened, and the three Goddesses ran in, only to stop and also gasp at Ganondorf.

“No…..it’s Shadow Ganondorf…..” Farore whispered. Ganondorf grinned.

“That’s right Goddess of Courage!” he exclaimed, “It’s me again in my Shadow Ganondorf form!! Heh, this was actually what practically killed Link and Goldenfire last time. And also what almost killed you Mirren. But this time is gonna be different, I have all of your friends and Sages powers, along with three pieces of the Triforce. I’m right now probably five times the strength of last time, and easily more than triple your power Mirren. Heck, I’m even more powerful than the Goddesses.” Din narrowed her eyes.

“You may be Ganondorf!!! But we’re still gonna help Mirren fight you!!” she yelled.

“Yes, and Goldwing will be helping also!! We’ll fight you together!!” she shouted.

“We’ll defeat you as a team Ganondorf, once and for all!!” added Farore. Ganondorf smiled evilly.

“But that wouldn’t be a fair fight my friends” he replied, “this is between me and Mirren, and I’ll make sure of that…….right now……” Ganondorf grinned, and suddenly shot two fireballs from his eyes. They flew through the air, and hit Goldwing. He screeched in burn as they burned him, and he finally fell backwards unconscious. Mirren gasped, and so did everyone else.

“Goldwing! No!” he shouted. Ganondorf smiled and lifted his hand up.

“Now for the Goddesses……..” he said, and shot three bolts of dark energy from his hand. They all went flying at the Goddesses, and they all froze. The bolts finally hit them, and they all screamed in pain. It pounded them with power, and they all collapsed also.

“Din! Farore! Nayru!!” Mirren yelled. Ganondorf put his hand down, and smiled at Mirren. The boy finally turned back to him, and looked terrified. Ganondorf grinned.

“Now it’s your turn kid………” he stated, and flew at Mirren. The boy froze, and watched in fear as the Scourge of Hyrule came closer to him. He was finally right by him, and Ganondorf punched Mirren straight across the face. Mirren grunted from the hit, and was sent skidding across the floor. He finally stopped, and groaned in pain from the hit. He clutched his throbbing cheek, and tried to pull himself up. Ganondorf smiled, and advanced towards Mirren. He watched Ganondorf out of the corner of his eye, and realized he let his guard down. He looked up in a split second and screamed as he shot a blast of energy from the Goddesses’ Sword. It flew straight at Shadow Ganondorf, and he simply smacked it away without even looking at it. It soared across the room, and exploded against one of the walls. Everyone watching gasped, and Mirren’s eyes widened in shock and fear. His mouth dropped, and he slowly backed off. Ganondorf smiled evilly, and pointed his sword at Mirren. “Let me show you a true sword blast” he said, and shot a beam of energy from the sword. Mirren had no time to dodge it or block it, and he was hit head on. He yelled out in pain, and smashed into the wall hard. He groaned in pain, and fell forward. Ganondorf flew at him, and gave him a vicious uppercut with his sword. Mirren flew straight up into the air, and hung up there for a second. He finally fell down, and Ganondorf reared his fist back. Right before Mirren was about to hit the ground, Shadow Ganondorf’s fist collided with Mirren’s stomach. Mirren’s eyes widened in shock and pain, and he only gasped from the hit. Everyone watching looked horrified, and most of the girls put their hands over their mouths. Mirren hung over Shadow Ganondorf’s fist, and the Scourge of Hyrule smiled. He spun around, and threw Mirren across the room. The small boy literally flew without wings, and soon smashed into the ground. He lay there groaning from the great pain he had already suffered only minutes into the fight, and couldn’t believe the power Ganondorf possessed. Even though he was hurting, he somehow picked himself up, and managed to get on his feet. He breathed heavily from the fatigue and pain, and Ganondorf still smiled diabolically.

“Man, just four attacks and I feel like I got hit by a boulder” he said to himself in his head, “he’s so God-darned strong! How the heck am I even gonna get one hit in when he’s this much more powerful than me!?” Mirren pondered for a moment, and realized what he had said before. “I said before I was gonna fight until I was dead, and I was going to use every single bit of energy and power in my body to defeat him and save everyone……………and I guess that’s what I’m gonna do!!” Mirren screamed in fury, and rushed at Shadow Ganondorf as he grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands. Ganondorf smirked, and got in a battle position as he also grasped his sword with both hands. Mirren finally came at him, and went for a vertical slash. Ganondorf simply lifted up his blade and blocked the shot. Mirren gritted his teeth, and went for a slash. Again, Ganondorf blocked the attack. Mirren began to grow irritated, and Shadow Ganondorf was only amused by Mirren’s anger. The boy reared back, and performed a great slice across Ganondorf. But once again, the great blade was raised up, and Shadow Ganondorf blocked the attack. He smiled, and finally did his own attack. He did a cut right across Mirren’s left arm. He screamed in pain, and clutched his arm. It was cut open, and blood began to pour out. Mirren fell to his knees as he rived in pain, and Shadow Ganondorf simply stuck his hand out in front of him. Mirren forgot about his pain for a second, and finally looked up at Ganondorf’s hand. It was glowing, and Ganondorf smiled sinisterly. He finally shot a blast of dark energy from it, and Mirren was hit at point blank range. Even through the explosion of the energy, Mirren’s scream of pain was heard, and he was finally seen flying out of the great illumination smoking from the energy. He landed on the ground, and groaned in pain. Everyone gasped, and a couple tears formed in Zelda’s eyes. They all watched as Mirren just lay on the ground riving in pain, and Ganondorf smirked.

“That’s probably it” he stated, “I doubt he’ll be getting up from that………” Suddenly Ganondorf looked surprised, and Mirren slowly got up. He pulled himself onto his feet using the Goddesses’ Sword, and he glared at Ganondorf.

“Well your doubt was wrong………” he countered sharply. Everyone was shocked to see Mirren get right back up, but were happy he was still fighting. Ganondorf now no longer looked surprised, in fact, he smirked.

“Well, you certainly don’t know when to go stay down kid…….pretty impressive actually……” he replied. Mirren narrowed his eyes, and flew at Shadow Ganondorf. His arm was still wounded, but the bleeding mostly stopped, and he just ignored it. He did a jumping slash, and Ganondorf did the same. Their swords hit each other, and created a great shine of light that actually lit up the still somewhat dark room for a second. They grappled, and finally pulled their weapons back. They rushed at each other, and began to do attack after attack after attack at each other. Ganondorf easily blocked his shots, and retaliated with incredibly powerful blows. But even though he was still over-powered, and wounded, Mirren kept on blocking his own shots and dishing it right back. Everyone watched as they kept on fighting, and were amazed at what had already happened.

“I’m still so surprised how Mirren is fighting like he never had any of those wounds, a normal kid his age would be dead by now……and he’s so small too!” exclaimed Ruto.

“Just because he’s small doesn’t mean he can’t fight Ruto” corrected Rauru, “that boy may be small, but his heart is probably bigger than Hyrule itself!”

“Yeah, but will heart be enough to pull himself back up and defeat Shadow Ganondorf?” Ruto asked. Saria shook her head.

“I have no idea, and probably does no one else” she answered, “it may be, but it may not. Mirren might need more power to defeat Ganondorf still, but maybe his courage and huge heart may be enough to defeat him…..” Taursus looked a little skeptical.

“As much as I hoped it’d go that way, I think Mirren is in trouble” he said, “he hasn’t gotten a single hit in already, and Shadow Ganondorf has already annihilated him!! I’m not losing confidence in him and saying he’s definitely gonna lose, but he’s got one heck of a challenge if he had any chance of winning!!” Darunia narrowed his eyes and looked serious.

“He’s right everyone” he added, “my sworn little brother is strong and very brave, but he’s really got the fight of life right now. His chances of winning aren’t that great……” Darunia’s grim words really depressed mostly everyone at that moment, except for mainly one person. Zelda stood up in her crystal prison and narrowed her eyes.

“I know he has a great chance of losing…..but I’m still putting every bit of confidence in him!” she began, “Mirren has overcome incredible odds to get here, and has fought enemies like no other…..and every time he’s won. He may be fighting a losing battle at the moment, but I know he’ll find some way to win no matter what happens………..he will win!!!” Everyone looked a little surprised by Zelda’s words, but Malon also narrowed her eyes.

“Zelda’s right, Mirren may be in deep trouble, but we gotta put all of our faith in him!” she exclaimed, “because if we don’t it’s really like he’s fighting to save us for nothing. We’re what keep him going, and as his best friends and loved ones, we have to believe in him and hope he wins!!!” Everyone nodded, and looked very serious as they looked back at the battle, which was still going on.

“Come on Mirren! You can do it!” Rauru shouted.

“Keep on fightin’ kid don’t give up!!” Mardera yelled. As everyone cheered Mirren on and tried to pump him up, Link watched silently. He hadn’t said anything for a while, and simply stood in his crystal prison watching the battle and thinking as every conversed around him. Teerlis looked at him.

“Do you think he really can win Link?” he asked. Link didn’t turn back to him. He still stood watching the battle for a few seconds, before finally shaking his head.

“I don’t know Teerlis…..I just don’t know……” he answered, “right now Mirren is in the fight of his life, and his chances of winning and saving all of us are extremely low. Shadow Ganondorf is probably triple his power, and has already nearly destroyed him. Mirren seriously might not win this one, his chances of winning are really like a million to one………….but no matter what, there’s still a chance, and I’m going to believe in him all the way to still somehow overcome the great odds and win……..” Teerlis nodded.

“That’s the way to think Link” he replied, “You’re probably Mirren’s best encourager. You’re his only living family member, his closest friend, the one he looks up to, the one he probably loves the most. If there’s anyone who he needs the most right now to believe in him……it’s you……” Link nodded, and knew Teerlis was right. They then looked back at the battle, and watched.
Mirren seemed to be growing tired, and was now just barely blocking and dodging Shadow Ganondorf’s attacks. His blows were getting slower, and less powerful by the second, and Ganondorf realized he now had the edge. He smiled evilly, and kicked Mirren in the stomach. Mirren collapsed to his knees, and groaned as he clutched his hurt stomach. Ganondorf then gasped his great sword with both hands, and slashed Mirren across the face. The boy flew sideways, and finally hit the ground. Everyone gasped from the hit, and were worried now that Mirren wouldn’t get up. He lay on the ground motionless, and didn’t make a sound. Ganondorf smiled.

“Try and get up from that one boy……..” he announced. Everyone watching looked afraid now. Mirren still wasn’t moving, and it looked as if he really was dead.

“Mirren…….you can’t be dead…..” Zelda whispered. And he wasn’t. Amazingly, Mirren somehow pulled himself up, and managed to get on his own two feet. Everyone looked surprised, but were still relieved that the battle wasn’t over just yet. Mirren stood breathing hard from his exhaustion and pain, and he now had a bloody cut on his right cheek. Ganondorf smirked.

“Well, still alive huh, wow, you can certainly get up from almost anything as long as it doesn’t kill ya…….” He said. Mirren narrowed his eyes. He balled up his fist, and wiped away the blood on his cheek with a slow movement. He then took his sword, and surprisingly put it away in its scabbard. Everyone looked surprised, and confused at that. Even Shadow Ganondorf raised an eyebrow at Mirren’s actions. The boy then put one hand into his pocket as he glared at Ganondorf.

“Ganondorf, you may be stronger than me, and you may have gotten a heck of a lot more blows in on me…………….but now you die!!!!!!” he screamed. He then pulled out the three legendary diamonds and held them together as he charged them up. Everyone watching gasped, and Ganondorf froze. He trembled a little, and lightning ripped through the sky and illuminated the throne room. Mirren screamed as he charged up the Ice, Fire, and Thunder Diamonds, and he finally let out one great yell of fury as he finally unleashed the blasts. Ganondorf watched as they still got closer, and only stood frozen in fear. They finally hit, and there was a great explosion of all three powers. Tons of huge ice crystals went flying everywhere, and the room actually seemed to get colder. There was an eruption of fire, and it illuminated, as well as heated up the room. Finally there was a great explosion from the thunderbolt. It was like no other, and shook everything. Everyone watched from their crystals as they saw the three powers destroy Shadow Ganondorf, and they all lit up with joy once the blasts stopped. There was still a ton of smoke, and Mirren stood breathing heavily. He had used a great deal of power on that attack, and he was already fatigued and tired. The smoke began to clear quickly, and Mirren began to give a sigh of relief……..but he suddenly gasped, and his mouth dropped as his eyes widened in shock and fear. Everyone else froe, and looked like they had seen a ghost. The smoke fully cleared, and there stood Shadowm Ganondorf, with not even a scratch on him. He was smiling wickedly, and right at Mirren. The boy was frozen in terror, and he trembled as he dropped the three diamonds.

“Well boy, how do you feel now that you’ve seen such a powerful attack not even phase me?” he asked mockingly, “does it anger you? Does it surprise you? Or wait, it scares you doesn’t it? It frightens you to know now that even an attack of that great power can’t hurt me. You’re even more afraid now that you’ll lose, and die because you were too weak compared to me………” Mirren looked terrified, and trembled even more. Ganondorf grinned diabolically, and flew at Mirren. Mirren was still unarmed, but it didn’t matter, he was still too frightened to move. Shadow Ganondorf lunged, and did a vertical slash across Mirren’s body. He yelled out in pain, and Ganondorf threw his hand out. It glowed, and he smiled evilly. He finally shot out a dark energy bolt, and Mirren was hit head on. He screamed in pain again, and was sent flying into the wall hard. It actually cracked a little, and Mirren groaned in pain as he slowly fell off the wall. He landed on the hard stone floor face first, and just lay rejuvenating from the massive attack. Ganondorf smiled wickedly. “Ya know, I think this room could use a little more light” he said, and snapped his fingers. Instantly, the torches and lanterns brightened, and illuminated the room a little more. It was no longer all that dark, and Shadow Ganondorf smiled as he looked around. “That’s more like it” he stated. As he gazed around, Mirren took advantage of the situation and pulled out the Goddesses’ Sword. He sprang up, and lunged at Ganondorf with a yell of fury.

“Take this Ganondorf!!!” he shouted, and held the Goddesses’ Sword behind his head. He came down, and did a jumping slash attack. Shadow Ganondorf was taken by surprise at first, but as Mirren came down with his blade, he grinned, and jumped backwards. The Goddesses’ Sword came crashing down, but only cut through the air and smashed into the stone floor. It dug right in, and split it open. Mirren gritted his teeth, and pulled it out as he glared at Shadow Ganondorf, who was now smiling.

“My my, a little anxious to fight back I see” he replied in a jeering tone, “that wasn’t very noble or warrior-like of you ya know. Attacking a distracted opponent…….” Mirren narrowed his eyes.

“I have respect for all of my opponents, but as far as I’m concerned I consider you my worst enemy, and that is no being I could have respect for…….” He countered sharply. Ganondorf smirked.

“Heh, you certainly hate me, don’t you boy?” he asked.

“You’re darn right ya sick devil!!” Mirren yelled back, “you killed three of my best friends, captured every living one, took their energy, and you’re using it to try and kill me, and then you’re gonna kill them and conquer Hyrule if you succeed. You even betrayed your own sister……….I despise you Ganondorf……..” The Scourge of Hyrule grinned.

“Well, you’re obviously a little angry” he said, “but let’s see how angry you stay when you see your friends suffer………..after all, you always break down and cry when that happens……..” Mirren still glared at him, but looked a little curious once Shadow Ganondorf lifted his hand up towards Zelda and Link. He smiled sinisterly, and balled his hand up. Suddenly numerous lightning bolts began to zap Zelda and Link in their crystals, and they both screamed in pain. Everyone else in their crystals, gasped, and watched in terror, as they roared in pain from the great power in the bolts. The pain coursed through their body, and Ganondorf began to laugh diabolically. Mirren watched in horror as he two most loved people suffered so greatly, and tears formed in his eyes. The bolts keep on shooting into their bodies, and they kept screaming from the intense pain and power.

“Link!!!!” Malon yelled.

“Zelda!!! Noooooo!!!!” Impa shouted. Everyone watched as Link and Zelda still endured the great punishment of pain, and were horrified by the sight. Mirren still had a few tears in his eyes, and he gazed as his brother and his crush got annihilated with energy. Suddenly he felt something inside of him snap, and all of his tears suddenly dried up. His eyes lit up with rage and he screamed in pure anger.

“Stop iiiiiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” he yelled at the top of his lungs, and unleashed a great deal of energy. Ganondorf stopped laughing, and froze as he saw Mirren unleash a great amount of power. Huge gusts of wind blew out from him, and the room shook a little. Mirren pointed the Goddesses’ Sword at Shadow Ganondorf, and it blued blue. The Scourge of Hyrule gasped in terror, and trembled. Mirren’s eyes were still filled with rage, and he gave Ganondorf a terrible glare. He finally screamed again, and shot a huge beam of energy from his blade. Ganondorf realized he was in trouble, and was able to lift up his cape just in time. But even with that, the beam still struck him, and annihilated him with great power as it sent him flying straight into the wall. He crashed right into it, and he dented it as his body hit it and smashed it. There was an incredible gust of wind from this attack, and the explosion lit up the entire room. The lightning bolts finally stopped hitting Link and Zelda, and they both fell in their prisons as they began to rest from their pain and fatigue. The smoke began to clear, and Mirren watched as he breathed heavily from exhaustion. He was no longer super enraged, and had calmed down to his normal mode. Everyone else also watched as they waited to see if Ganondorf was still alive. The smoke finally cleared, and it revealed Ganondorf still in the wall, covered up by his cape. Mirren narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth. He grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands, and jumped at Shadow Ganondorf as he held his blade behind his head. “Die once and for all you fool!!!” he shouted, and befan to come down. He was about to do a perfect jumping slash, but Ganondorf suddenly uncovered himself and grinned evilly at Mirren. He shot two fireballs from his eyes, and both hit Mirren. He screamed in pain as they burned him, and sent him flying. He landed hard on the ground, and lay riving in pain. Ganondorf got on the floor, and stepped forward.

“That was a nice attack before kid, you had me worried for a second…….” He began, “but of course it wasn’t enough to kill me. And that last stunt you just pulled was absolutely pathetic. You were a fool attacking me so blindly, you should’ve thought that move over……..” Mirren groaned, and lifted himself up. He first pulled his head up, and slowly got up on his feet. Ganondorf smiled devilishly. He pointed his sword at Mirren. “Now……..die boy……” he said, and shot a lighting bolt from the sword. It rocketed out of it, and soared at Mirren through the air. He froze in terror, and it finally went right through him. It hit his stomach, and ended up flying out of the other side. Everyone gasped, and watched on in horror. Mirren’s eyes widened in shock and pain, and he kept on gasping. He trembled and staggered, and his face began to grow pale. Tears formed in almost everyone’s as they watched this happened, and they were all afraid he would die. Their fear was correct. Mirren finally dropped the Goddesses’ Sword, and fell to his knees. He stood on them for a few seconds, and finally fell forward as he closed his eyes. Zelda felt her heart literally be crushed as she saw this.

“Mirreeeeeeeeeennnnnnn!!!!!!!” she screamed as tears poured out of her eyes. She fell to her knees, and began to sob. Everyone was silent. They were all shocked and horrified at what just happened. Saria, Ruto, Nepsana, and Malon also had tears in their eyes, and all the others also looked as if they were on the verge of crying. Amazingly, Mardera and Nabooru also had a tear or two in their eyes. Darunia and Rauru’s face looked as sad and sorrowful as ever, and the two big men bowed their heads as they closed their eyes. Teerlis couldn’t believe he had just seen Mirren die, and felt terrible, but he felt even worse when he took one look at Link. He was only his knees, his face pale, his mouth open but silent, and tears rolling down his cheeks. Link felt his heart snap in half only a few seconds ago. And for the first time in his life; the Hero of Time began to sob. As Link and Zelda sobbed, and all the others mourned, Ganondorf smiled wickedly. He finally let out a sinister laugh.

“Ha! I’ve finally done it!!” he yelled, “I knew it!!! I knew I’d eventually kill that boy!!! And I just did it!! Ha ha ha!! I knew that with these awesome powers I would outmatch that foolish boy and finish his life off once and for all!!! Yes, my mission is a success! I’ve become the most powerful being in Hyrule, the birthday tomorrow is ruined, I will soon conquer Hyrule, I will soon kill all of his friends……but most of all; I’ve finally killed Mirren and got my revenge!!!!” Ganondorf began laughing again, and everyone sobbed and mourned even more for the dead Mirren.

But suddenly, his hand glowed, and a golden upside triangle appeared on his hand. His whole body then began to glow gold, and Shadow Ganondorf instantly stopped laughing. It kept on glowing, and eventually everyone else stopped crying and mourning. This all looked over at the dead Mirren, and the great hole in his body began to heal. It filled up and up and up and soon it was completely regenerated. His cape was also fixed, and suddenly, Mirren lifted his head up. Everyone gasped, and Ganondorf couldn’t believe what he was seeing. Mirren, still glowing, then got on his knees, and grabbed the Goddesses’ Sword. He stood up on his own two feet, and glared at Shadow Ganondorf as he held up his hand with the back facing Ganondorf. The Scourge of Hyrule was frozen in terror…….Mirren was alive.

“That was a big mistake Ganondorf……” he began, “and it’ll be your downfall in this final battle. You see, once that lightning bolt went right through me, I knew I was gonna die right away. And that’s what enraged me enough. Because I knew I had failed and that you’d succeed, I became angry enough to use the Triforce of Justice and rejuvenate myself.” Everyone watching were completely shocked, and couldn’t believe what Mirren had done. He narrowed his eyes at Shadow Ganondorf. “Prepare to be finished off once and for all…….” Mirren said, and screamed in fury and rage as he powered up. He glowed even more, and great gusts of wind blew from him as the ground began to crack beneath him. Suddenly three beams of energy were shot at Ganondorf. They all hit him, and enveloped him with their power as they annihilated him with great energy. There was a green one, a blue one, and a red one. Everyone except Mirren looked over to see that it was none other than the Goddesses, and Shadow Ganondorf screamed in pain.

“The Goddesses are back…….” Zelda whispered. Din narrowed her eyes and looked up at everyone in their crystal prisons.

“It is time we finally kill Ganondorf!” she shouted, “but first we must free you all!” She concentrated on power for a second, and soon all the crystal chambers shattered into countless pieces, and everyone slowly floated down to the ground. Nayru now narrowed her eyes and looked over at the Sages, Mardera, Taursus, and Nepsana.

“All of you……receive your powers back!!” she yelled, and yelled out as she concentrated on removing their powers from Ganondorf. Her eyes lit up blue, and was finally able to do it. The energies slowly floated out, and Shadow Ganondorf screamed again. They floated over to their owners, and went back inside of them. Everything was almost complete, only a couple more things were need. Farore had been charging up and concentrating her power the whole time, and looked over at Link and Zelda.

“Link! Zelda! Receive you Triforce pieces once again!!” she shouted, and yelled out as she commenced the plan. Ganondorf kept on screaming, and rived in pain as he felt the Triforce powers get pulled out from him. The two Triforce parts floated out of his hand, and went over to their owners. Link and Zelda took their pieces in, and began to charge up. Even though he was in great pain and was still being hurt, Shadow Ganondorf looked at the Goddesses and held up his hand with his back facing them.

“I still have the Triforce of Power you fools!! Take this!!” he yelled out, and was about to power up before suddenly a blue beam of energy came flying at him and went through his upper chest. He gasped in pain as it soared right through him just like with Mirren, and was forced to stop his attack. Everyone looked to where it came from, and saw Link pointing the Master Sword at him. He glared at Ganondorf and sneered.

“That’s for what you did to me and Zelda before…..” he said scornfully. Farore narrowed her eyes and looked very serious.

“Link! Zelda!” she shouted, “use both of your Triforce pieces and remove the Triforce of Power from Ganondorf!!!” Link and Zelda looked over at Farore, and nodded. They turned back to Shadow Ganondorf, and narrowed their eyes. They powered up, and threw their right hands out. They both glowed with their great energy, and their Triforce pieces appeared in the air. Zelda’s Triforce of Wisdom glowed blue, and Link’s Triforce of Courage glowed green. They both screamed, a beam of energy shot out from the Triforces. They both struck Shadow Ganondorf’s right hand, and he roared in pain. Link and Zelda both concentrated harder, and they powered up even more. Ganondorf kept screaming, and felt the Triforce of Power slowly slip out of him. It finally did, and the third Triforce piece floated out of his, and went over to Link and Zelda, who had stopped their attacks. Din looked over at them.

“Hold on to that for a little while!” she yelled, “we’ve got one last thing to do!!!” She looked at Nayru and Farore, and they all looked at each other. They all looked very serious, and their eyes were narrow. They nodded, and stopped their attacks. The energy beams stopped, and Shadow Ganondorf staggered from the incredible pain and fatigue. Farore looked over at the still powering up Mirren.

“Finish him off Mirren!” she shouted, “defeat Ganondorf once and for all to bring peace to Hyrule and all of us!!!” Mirren didn’t acknowledge her, but Farore knew he was inside. He let out one final scream, and unleashed all of his power. The ground beneath him shattered, and the whole room shook. The gargoyle and demon statues all broke apart, and turned into rubble, along with the torches and lanterns. Finally Mirren’s immense pillar of energy around him broke through the ceiling, and destroyed a good part of it. The remaining pieces fell, but were destroyed on the way down from Mirren’s power. He grasped the Goddesses’ Sword with both hands, and glared at a terrified Ganondorf. He flew at him, and jumped up into the air as he held the Goddesses’ Sword be hind his head. Everyone watched as Mirren performed the final blow, and Ganondorf also stared at the boy helplessly. Mirren screamed in rage, and finally brought his blade down on Ganondorf’s face. It sliced right through it, and Ganondorf stood frozen in pain as blood began to pour from the great gash. He groaned once, and finally fell backwards dead. Mirren landed, and stayed on his knees as everyone looked on at the dead Ganondorf, and the victorious Mirren. Everything was silent, and Mirren finally got up. The Triforce of Justice still glowed on his hand, but he was no longer enraged. He looked down at Ganondorf, and saw the great amount of blood coming out from the wound on his entire face. He took his red cape off, and knelt down. He placed it on Ganondorf’s head, and stood up. Everything was still silent, and everyone watching waited for Mirren to do something else. He just stood looking down at Ganondorf silently also, but finally turned around and looked at his friends and loved ones. He smiled, and everyone lit up with joy and happiness knowing he was finally victorious. Everyone began to celebrate and comfort each other from the whole ordeal. Mardera and Taursus walked over to Mirren.

“Nice job as always kid, coming back at the last second, just like before” Taursus said. Mirren smirked and laughed a little.

“Yeah, I guess I really just pulled this one off” he replied.

“Feh, that’s just an understatement Mirren!” Mardera exclaimed. The three all found the joke pretty funny, and laughed. And it was even funnier for Mirren considering it was practically true! They all laughed for a few moments, and Mirren noticed Teerlis and Nepsana helping out a shaken up Malon. Mirren smiled and walked over to them. Terrlis held her up, and Nepsana stayed by their side. Malon had a couple tears in her eyes, and still seemed to be recovering from everything a bit. She sniffed, and finally saw Mirren standing in front of her smiling as usual.

“You okay Malon?” he asked. Malon sniffed again, and wiped away her remaining tears. She nodded.

“Yes, I’m okay” she answered, “it was just so terrifying being taken away from the ranch and being brought here again. But I can always count you to save me. Thanks Mirren.” Teerlis rolled his eyes.

“Her she goes again, flattering up this kid and ignoring me her boyfriend” he said, “hey, does this happen with you Link and Zelda also?” Mirren looked a little embarrassed for a second, and Nepsana looked a little curious.

“Mirren has a crush on Zelda?” she asked. His face went red, and Malon Teerlis and Nepsana all laughed.

“Umm…well I kinda….uhh…it’s that……oh shut up” he spat back humorously though. They all laughed once again, but laughed even more. This time Mirren actually joined in. They all laughed together, and Mirren noticed the Sages walking up to him. They all smiled.

“Well, you’ve done it once again Mirren” began Rauru, “you defeated Ganondorf and Emralda, and saved us all. Those two evil fools are finally destroyed, and will never be able to return to Hyrule. Nice job.” Mirren smiled at him

“Yeah, you won once again, even when your odds were a million to one!” Darunia exclaimed, “That’s my sworn little brother!” Impa crossed her arms and also smiled down at Mirren.

“Yes, but I think now there’s two people you should see right now……..” she stated, and all the Sages moved sideways revealing both Link and Zelda, smiling at Mirren. He looked a little surprised at first, but it was a pleasant surprise. His mouth dropped a little, and couldn’t believe they were alright. He really hadn’t noticed they were still alright after Ganondorf’s attack, because he was still powering up, and he thought they were still hurt.

“You don’t have to worry Mirren……we’re alright” Link said. Mirren still looked shocked, and everybody smiled at the moment. Tears formed in Mirren’s eyes, and he fell forward at Link. His older brother caught him, and held him as Mirren cried in his chest. He sobbed from the terrible time when he saw them suffer so greatly, and also in happiness that they were still alright. Link looked down at him, and could only smile. Zelda did the same, and eventually put her arms around Mirren and kind of hugged him also. Everyone was smiling still. Even though Mirren was crying, they knew how happy he was that they were still alive. It was a happy moment all around.

“Ya know Mirren, I think we should be the ones crying” Zelda began, “after all, you did practically die right before ours eyes…….” Mirren pulled his head out of Link’s chest, and sniffed as he wiped away his tears. He looked up at them both and smiled a little.

“Yeah, but it was just terrible for me to see you guys get hurt so badly” he replied, “I thought you two were gonna die. And I could just never be able to see my two favorite people do that.” Link and Zelda smiled at him, and both hugged him and held him close. Everyone smiled again at three, and were happy they were all alright and happy as ever to be together. Farore stepped forward.

“I believe we should all send you back home now” she announced, “We’ll deal with the citadel and Ganondorf’s body. You all go back and live your lives in peace.” Link and Zelda looked at her as they and stopped hugging Mirren.

“Hold on, what should we do with the Triforce of Power Din?” Link asked.

“Yes, you told us to hold onto it until we killed Ganondorf” Zelda added. Din smirked and nodded.

“Yes I know” she replied, “and I know what we’re gonna do with it. We’re gonna send all of you to the Temple of Time. We’ll want you guys to put the Triforce of Power back into the Triforce above the Door of Time. That way no one would ever know that’s one of the real pieces, and it’ll be safe. Right now I have really no person that I believe is strong enough to possess it. So for now we’ll keep it safe.” Impa smiled.

“That sounds like a good idea” she said. Din turned to her.

“I know, now everyone get together” she spoke, “we’re gonna send you to the Temple of Time.” They all nodded, and everyone bunched together.

“Wait! Goldwing!” exclaimed Mirren. At that moment the great phoenix flew over by everyone and settled down next to them. Mirren smiled at his companion, and Nayru did the same.

“Perfect timing” she said, “we’ll see you all there. Goodbye my friends.” Suddenly a blue ring of light surrounded everyone, and it began to form a pillar around them. The Goddesses smiled at all the friends, and they soon disappeared from the throne room.

The blue ring of light appeared in the Temple of Time, and everyone finally appeared in it. It glowed a little, and finally went away. Link and Zelda both instantly walked over to the alter as everyone stood back and watched. They stood right before it, and looked up at the Triforce engraving. They held their hands up, and the Triforce of Power appeared above them. It slowly spun around, and glowed as it floated up to its space. It went right in, and caused the whole thing to light up with a golden color. They both slowly took their hands down, and smiled. They turned around, and walked over to everyone else.

“Well, let’s go back guys” Link said. Mirren smiled at him.

“Not yet” he replied, “don’t you remember? The Goddesses said they’d meet us here.” Link pondered Mirren’s words for a few seconds and finally remembered they had said that.

“Oh right!” he exclaimed, “I can’t believe I forgot!”

“It’s alright Link, don’t worry” a tough sounding feminine voice said behind him. He and Zelda turned around, and saw the Goddesses hovering before them as they smiled.

“Nice job you two, you put the Triforce of Power right where it should be” Farore began, “now, it is finally time for all of you to go back.” She now looked at Mirren. “Because of you Mirren, Ganondorf and Emralda are defeated, they have been rid of this peaceful land forever now. You can all now live your lives happily with them gone; no more evil shall ever threaten Hyrule again. All of you go home, and regain your lost time with this whole ordeal. And Mirren and Zelda, celebrate your birthday together and with all of your friends and loved ones in peace. Make sure it is the best one of your lives.” They both smiled back at Farore, and nodded.

“We will Farore, we will” Zelda replied.

“Yes, I’ll make sure of that” Mirren added. Farore nodded back at him, and looked at everyone else.

“Now everyone, I think you should all stay at Hyrule Castle tonight. After all you’ll all probably be there tomorrow for most of the day with the party, so kinda have a sleepover in a way!” Saria smiled, but had a question.

“That is a very nice idea, but shouldn’t the ones of us who have other homes go back and tell everyone there we’re alright?” she asked. Din smiled at the Kokiri Sage.

“Don’t worry about it, we’ll make sure we tell everyone that you guys are alright….” She replied. Link smiled at them, and turned around.

“Well guys……let’s go!” he exclaimed. Everyone smiled and nodded, and they began to leave the Temple of Time and go back to Hyrule Castle. Mirren was the last to leave, but Nayru stopped him.

“Oh yes Mirren, I guess you could say Goldwing was like a birthday gift from us, but you still have one more coming, and I’m sure you, Link, and Zelda will all like it” she stated. Mirren turned around with a smile and nodded.

“Okay Nayru, I gotcha” he replied. The Goddess of Wisdom smiled at the boy.

“And make sure you try and bring Zelda and Link together, and don’t forget to give her that necklace you spent all your rupees on….” She said. Mirren blushed a little, and still smiled.

“Don’t worry, I promise not to…..” he said back. Zelda then walked back into the Temple of Time.

“Ya comin’ Mirren?” she asked. Mirren turned around, and ran over to her.

“Yeah, I’m coming” he answered, and she smiled at him. They both then left the Temple of Time, but Mirren turned around and got one last look at the three Goddesses before he exited it; truly three of his best friends.

Thank you Kanakai. Now I've got a question for all the readers. First off, I just wanna tell all of you that I've technically finished the story. I've done the final chapter, but I wanna fix it up a lot and do one more big chapter before I revise the final. My question is, do you guys want me to just end it and put it up? Or would you want me to keep it going a little longer??

Forget that people, I'm just continuing it!
