(JUST A QUICK NOTE; This is my first ever fanfiction, the paragraphs did look better when I was writing them but with the way everything went, it looks a bit higglety-pigglety. This story was written between 12-4 am so there may be a few spelling mistake/errors/inconsistencies please ignore them if I ever pick up on them I'll be sure to change them [or I'll be too lazy and it shall forever stay the same 3]
During the story there will also be multiple changes in perspective. If you see a series of dots, dashes and underscores, that means it's a perspective change. [it'll look a lil' somethin' like this - ' . ._' or '_.-.' along those lines]
ALSO; just letting you know that a few things have changed, very small, and I feel the need to tell you these things specifically because I've given Link a voice, Ghirahim can turn invisible, and a few other things aren't going to be like the original story-line [I'm totally not being vague about what has changed just in case I get any of the facts wrong and need to cover it up by simply saying 'I changed a few things' I don't know what you're talking about, get that idea out of your head -cough-]
ALSO, also; this story may be very slow on the uploading/updating speed so if there's no other chapters for a while it's because I've been busy or... haven't been arsed to upload 3. THANK YOU for reading my little ramble here and for reading my (probably very bad) long ramble some like to refer to as fanfiction.)
ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Ghirahim pounded his fist against the glowing door.
"That accursed girl... How dare she run from me! me! This was all supposed to be so easy!"
He let out a long exasperated sigh, flicking his gloriously styled fringe to the side.
"Now what..? The blasted servant of the goddess took her from me... I'll have to track where she's going. The bokoblins should be able to track her for me."
He turned on his heel and leaned on the door, reaching up and playing with his beautiful diamond earring. "Though they're not exactly smart enough to do that..."
Ghirahim turned back around and started studying the door. Looking high and low for an opening or a weak spot he could use to bash it in, when-
CRREeeAaaaK
The door to the large room he was in, made a low, loud moan as it was pushed open.
Ghirahim, always one for surprises, made himself invisible to the naked eye and studied the figure as it walked into the room.
. ._
Link coughed and grunted as he heaved the heavy door open. If this was the way Zelda came, she was obviously far stronger than he thought.
He waved his hand around in front of him in an effort to clear the dust, which inevitably failed.
"Whoa" walking through and clear of the dust, link looked around the room.
It was a large circular room that seemed more like the sparring hall back on skyloft than any other room he had been in thus far. With what seemed to be a glowing doorway at the other side. Link felt the familiar warmth of Fii on his back before she flipped out of his sword.
"Master Link, there is a 97% possibility that the human, Zelda, is behind this door. However, there is another presence in this room. I would advise caution while you decide how to proceed" and with that she faded back into the sword.
Link drew his sword. While Fii's constant presence was a little off-putting at times, she was very useful when it came to enemies.
He studied the door, running his hand over it. There were small particles of dust falling from where he had placed his fingers, and spots where the dust had previously been knocked off.
Fii was right; someone did open this door before. It must have been Zelda.
But there were multiple other patches where the caked-on dust had been removed. One being much larger than Zelda's hand could have been.
He decided to explore the rest of the room, perhaps there was a switch of some sort to get it open. Or maybe there was one in the previous room.
Link walked stead-fast toward the doors he had come through, stopping immediately, however, when they were slammed shut in front of him.
He stood there shocked and blinked at the door for a few moments before running up and pushing on the door, to no avail. The door would not budge.
He was trapped.
Link's heart began to race at that realization and he gripped his sword tighter.
A low, menacing chuckle could be heard from the other side of the room. Link turned to lock eyes with the one who had ensnared him in this trap.
. ._
Ghirahim pressed himself against the wall to hide (even though he was already invisible). He watched on as a figure emerged through the doors and the dust.
Clad in green, the human coughed as he inhaled the dust.
it was like the girl. Smaller than Ghirahim, and clearly weaker, obviously.
The human started walking towards the door he was near, and Ghirahim moved slightly out of the way. It had obviously not noticed him.
'A fool... walking so confidently into an unknown room. There could be any amount of dangerous creature in here. And there is...'.'
Ghirahim slid around the human, keeping his distance, and headed toward the door. 'They're so puny. Why would anyone want something so small?'
Standing now at the other side of the room, Ghirahim took it upon himself to study the creature.
It was wearing such a clunky-looking outfit. Definitely not good for flexibility. Defence had to be it's only purpose. Meaning the humans are weaklings.
Atop It's head, more green. 'Why green? Must be a defence mechanism. Perhaps this kind of human needs to hide in the grass from time to time like a kikwi'
Then he noticed the golden locks of hair peeking out from behind the hat.
Golden, like the sun. Unlike his own, a pale moonlight silver.
Searching lower, he saw the tanned skin the human flaunted. Sun kissed. Like it's hair.
In fact, most everything about this creature seemed like the sun. It was bright and seemed to show something special, even if Ghirahim couldn't quite pick what it was. If Ghirahim wasn't sure it was the sunlight reflecting off the dust particles, he'd even say the human glowed a little.
'Infuriating...' Ghirahim pondered why he thought this creature looked to be in excellent form. He decided it was because the human wanted to make everyone around him jealous.
That annoyed him.
Ghirahim watched as a spirit leapt from the sword and spoke to the creature. 'No... It can't be. This little thing is the chosen hero? HAH! This should prove to be entertaining'. Ghirahim grimaced as he couldn't hear the words for the hushed tones she was using. He overheard "Zelda" and "I advise caution" and that was all.
'I advise caution for you too, hero.'
Ghirahim leapt up and slammed the doors shut as the smaller creature came marching towards them. He smirked and teleported to the other side of the room, revealed himself and watched on as the miniscule hero tried to open the door. No such luck.
He chuckled when the human gave up with a huff. The human turned around and took a fighting stance when he locked eyes-
'Such clear blue eyes...' the cerulean blue of that piercing stare made Ghirahim pause momentarily. Regaining his composure, he spoke to the creature. "Look who it is... I thought that tornado I stirred up would have tossed and torn you apart." He broke his gaze from the human to look at the door again. "Not that your life or death has any consequence"
. ._
Link looked over the tall man before him.
He was pale, almost too pale. And skinny. He had long arms and legs covered in a thin fabric that stretched all over his body (and didn't leave much to the imagination), hidden only by a large red cape. He had started speaking, but link was too busy taking in the man's appearance.
'Why does everything he have, have diamonds on it? Dig diamond earring, diamond holes in the cloth.. How strange..'
"It's just the girl that matters now and I can sense her here, just beyond this door." The man continued, seeming to speak to himself more than Link, "Yes, we plucked her majesty from her perch in the clouds, and now she's ours"
Link snapped out of his rambling thoughts when the demon mentioned something about "her majesty" being near. 'He must mean Zelda'.
"Oh but listen to me rambling, I'm being positively uncivil! Allow me to introduce myself."
He continued, flipping his hair out of his face. "I am the demon lord who presides over this land you look down upon, this world you call the surface. You may call me Ghirahim"
'He sure does like the sound of his own voice' Link thought to himself.
"In truth, I very much prefer to be indulged with my full title; Lord Ghirahim. But I'm not fussy" Link glared at the Demon, narrowing his stare and taking a wider stance. "You've had your sword drawn for a while now... are you that cocky? Foolish thing" The demon lord turned and spread his arms wide, exaggerating his position of power. "By all rights, the girl should have fallen into our hands already." He curled his fingers into twitching fists as he fumed "she was nearly ours, until that loathsome servant of the goddess snatched her away" hunched over, he continued his rant.
Link felt a power coming from him that made him slightly uneasy. "Do you have any idea how that made me feel?!" Ghirahim threw his arms about dramatically "Furious! Outraged! Sick with anger!" The room seemed to shake slightly as the demon grew angrier. Before he vanished.
Link blinked and looked around for him. "This turn of events has left me with a strong appetite for bloodshed". Link looked around everywhere, he had disappeared, where was he?!
Then he felt a presence creep up behind him too slowly and had a curtain of moonlit locks, strewn over his shoulder, as the demon lord whispered into his ear.
"Still.." the Demon lord started, "It hardly seems fair, being of my position, to take all of my anger out on you. Which is why I promise up front not to murder you.."
The ice-cold threats accompanied by that velvety smooth voice was enough to make Link freeze in place, unsure what to do. He simply stared wide-eyed at the demon, mouth agape.
"No, I'll just beat you within an inch of your life!" An ungoddessly long tongue slipped out of his mouth, and that was enough to make Link leap away from the man.
The demon laughed, quietly at first, at link's eagerness to get away. Before it erupted into maniacal laughter. The demon spread his arms and cackled as his cape faded away, revealing his diamond-encrusted outfit.
'Even his flippin' belt has a diamond on it.. What a show off'
. ._
Ghirahim was positively tickled-pink by the way the creature reacted to him. Its face stayed Stoney as he spoke, but the way his fists shook slightly and the battle-stance he had taken, said it all. This was too fun.
He disappeared, breaking that glare that was trained on him. 'This is what I wanted. To be able to scare it out of its wits!'.
He re-appeared behind the green-clad hero and whispered sweet threats into it's ear. The smell of the human, so foreign, captivated him for a second. He wanted to figure out what the smell was. But Ghirahim was too amused by the look of horror painted across the human's fine features. He wanted to see more.
He flung his tongue at the hero, causing it to jump away from him. 'This is going to be so much fun'. Ghirahim cast his arms out wide, revealing the rest of his gloriously beautiful body.
The creature seemed stunned. 'So it should be. I mean.. look at me'.
. ._
Link lunged for the strange man. The slice was interrupted, however, when the demon lord took hold of the blade mid-swing. Link gasped and tried to yank the sword away, only to have it stay in one place. A dark sword, appeared in Ghirahim's other hand and came crashing down on Link. Remembering his shield, Link blocked the fierce attack and rolled out of the way, discarding his sword. 'Crap!'.
Ghirahim laughed and shook his head. "Give me a little more competition than that, hero" he threw the sword at Link and it landed in front of him with a clank. Link looked puzzled at the sword then at Ghirahim, who stretched his hand out and curled his finger in a 'come here' gesture. Link growled and picked up his sword before edging closer to the demon.
'What an arrogant bastard! What kind of enemy is he? Anyone in their right mind would have jumped at an opportunity to be rid of their defenceless enemy. Unless..'
A few more swings and failed hits, the clanking of sword against the tiled floor and Link was thrown to his back again and again.
'He's toying with me..'
Link sat up and glared at the demon. Ghirahim laughed and held his stomach. "Oh you're doing well hero! Come, try again!" Ghirahim stretched a pointed toe towards him a bowed oh so fancily. The way he moved was like that of a ballerina. Fairly graceful. If over dramatic.
'That's it. Time to switch tactics'
The sword was tossed at him again. Only to be stepped over.
Ghirahim tilted his head slightly, and a look of confusion spread across his usually smug face.
Link walked right up to him, dropped his shield and stood with-in arms reach of him.
"Wha-" Ghirahim started to speak, but was interrupted by a mean right hook to the underside of his jaw, sending him backwards.
Link smiled and shook the pain of the punch from his fist. 'Finally..' making contact (in the form of a good punch) with that bastard felt good.
Ghirahim rolled over onto all fours and starred at the ground, stunned. He tenderly touched his face. "How.. Dare.. You.." he whispered. Link would have leaned in to try to hear what he said, but Ghirahim's sword appeared again and he quickly swung it around in a low and powerful swoop. Link back flipped towards his shield, narrowly missing the tip.
He fumbled and snatched up his shield, blocking the next attack of the sword being flung towards him. Link was knocked back slightly, but not off his feet. He ran for the sword, blocking the barrage of swords and daggers that were now being hurled at him. One just making it, leaving a light slice on his arm.
"HOW DARE YOU?!" The demon yelled. "..My beautiful face" Ghirahim tenderly traced his fingers over where he was hit again.
'Get over it' Link thought to himself. Ghirahim threw both of his arms to his side, calling two new swords in either hand. The demon lord gave Link a death stare that sent shivers up his spine.
Ghirahim charged at Link, swords raised, and sent the blades down on him with monstrous force. The shield Link had brought up cracked beneath them. Link gasped. Quickly seeing the opportunity, swung out his sword under the shield. The blade sliced across Ghirahim's abdomen. The demon let out a shout when the blade made contact. Link jumped at the slightest waver of Ghirahim's strength and landed blow upon blow on Ghirahim's chest, abdomen and legs.
The demon lord let out a mighty roar and reached behind the shield, too quick for link to escape from. The demon gripped Link around the throat and lifted him above his head. He began to squeeze.
Link gasped as he felt the fingers around the throat and kicked the air as he was lifted up. The grip on his throat tightening, he couldn't breathe.
"I'll crush you, you worthless-" Ghirahim paused and dropped Link to the ground. He turned towards the door. "She's gone..." he whispered.
Link grabbed at his throat and gasped for air as he crawled towards his shield.
. ._
Ghirahim was fuming. That pathetic little thing managed to cause a lot of damage. He felt the sting of where the sword had hit him, and the lingering pain from the punch nagged at him. However, the presence of the goddess' reincarnation had faded completely, and he couldn't waste more time with this creature.
He looked down at it, crawling toward its equipment.
'It's still trying... even after that? Why?' Ghirahim stepped to where it was crawling and placed his foot over its hand. "What do you think you're doing, human?"
The creature grunted and scratched at his foot. Ghirahim made a 'tch' sound and put all his weight on the hero's hand, making it yelp out in pain. Ghirahim smiled 'so weak..'.
He was about to call for another blade, when he found his foot being lifted up. "Wha-WHA?!" Ghirahim was tossed backwards and human grunted as it stood and hunched over, holding its hand. His head hit the floor hard, and he blinked in shock, before clambering up to his feet and staring at the creature.
The human stood back in a battle stance, puffing and trying to shake the pain out of its (probably broken) hand. Bright red blood dripped down its arm where one of the many daggers that had been thrown at it had cut it. Even though it was clearly in pain, those eyes still showed no sign of fear. No sign that the hero would back down.
"What are you.." Ghirahim accidently said out loud.
"My name is Link. And I'm here to save my friend." Link rolled his shoulders and stood proud. "You may be powerful, whatever-your-name-is, but you're not going to stop me" Ghirahim looked straight at the hero. 'Link..'
The creature was unlike any he'd encountered before. He couldn't figure out what it was that made this human want to keep fighting. Whatever it was, it was something Ghirahim wanted. The power this tiny thing had inside him could be useful. Whether the goddess had bestowed some sort of ability on it or if it took some sort of performance-enhancing drug, Ghirahim wanted to find out what it was.
"Link huh?" Ghirahim stood up straight, regaining his height over the human
"Yes" Link stood straighter, but it didn't do much.
"..What a stupid name" Ghirahim insulted. Link stammered and took a step back, obviously not expecting a petty insult from the so-called demon lord.
"Listen to me, Link. Your 'friend' is ours. Give up and go back to your mother, child." With that, Ghirahim turned and, before he teleported away, glanced back at the creature of light again.
"I will have your power.." and disappeared.
. ._
Link was left alone in an empty room. The menacing demon seemingly gone.
He cautiously stepped forward. "Fii is he still here?" he asked his companion. She flipped out of his sword and hovered gracefully in front of him.
"There is only a 17% possibility that the demon lord Ghirahim is still in the vicinity." she answered. Link sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Don't call him that, just say Ghirahim. We're not going to start to show courtesy to monsters".
"Yes, master Link" and with that she faded back into his sword.
Link fastened his gear to his back again and headed to the door. Eager to find clues of where his friend had gone to.
