Chapter 1: Curse of the Deity

It was finally time to end this battle. Link was in his Fierce Deity form battling against Majora's Wrath. The battle between the two had cause the room to break apart, but it was somehow holding on. Link tightened the grip on his sword, "It's over Majora! I'm going end this battle right now!"

Majora glared at the hero and slowly growled, "I... will... KILL YOU!"

Majora launch a series of whip lashes at Link while roaring in anger. Link dodged the lashes and swung his sword to create a sword beam at the monster. Majora leaped over Link and counterattack by spinning around in circles. Link held up his sword to block the attack and the collision of power pushed Link back a little. Link forced back a whip and launch another sword beam. Majora leaped to the side to dodge and it kept on leaping because Link continued to launch sword beams attack toward Majora. After a while Majora decided to leap over Link and wrapped his whips around his neck. Majora roared and tossed Link to the wall to the right then to the left.

Link tried to break free, "Let go of me!"

Majora brought Link up and in the air then smashed him to the ground. All the sudden Majora felt a huge amount of pain and roared. It glared at Link who was squeezing one of it whip arm as hard as he can.

Link glared at the monster, "This is as far as you go!"

Link raise his sword and slice the whips which caused Majora to scream in pain. Link tear off the remaining whip around his neck off and rush toward Majora. Majora launched a series of metal tops at Link. To counter the tops Link launch sword beams to destroy them. Each top exploded when the beam slash through them. Link emerged from the smoke and made a horizontal slash. However, Majora move to the side to avoid it and deliver a spin kick at Link's back. Link shoved his sword into the ground to prevent him from flying to far. As soon as Link landed, Majora launched a few tops at Link.

Link's eyes widen with shock while Majora laughed, "Die Hero!"

The explosion engulfed Link and Majora believed it had won. After a few seconds, a familiar voice echoed the room which cause the monster's eyes to widen, "That won't stop me Majora!"

"Impossible!", Majora shouted as he saw Link emerging from the smoke. Link gave a battle cry while gripping his sword with both hands and leaping into the air. He brought his helix edged sword into the air and slashed straight down, slicing right down the middle.

"This is the end. You lost."

"No... Not YET!" Majora used the last bit of strength to bit Link on the neck.

Link screamed in pain and force Majora back with a kick before falling to his knees. Link somehow took off the Fierce Deity mask and reverted back to his normal form to decrease the pain. Link glared at Majora and saw that it was grinning. He wondered why it was smiling until the answer came right in front of him. The Fierce Deity Mask floated right in front of him for a moment until it broke into small pieces of light. The pieces penetrated Link's body and caused the little hero much pain. Link look at himself to see if he was bleeding, but for some reason he wasn't. However, he felt the power of the Fierce Deity building up in his body almost like it was trying to take control of him.

Link glared at the monster, "What the hell did you do to me!?"

"I used the last bit of my strength to place a curse on you hero. For the rest of your life you will be battle the soul of the Fierce Deity to see who will be the one in control. If you ever lose to the Deity, he will take control and destroy everything around you. It may not be the victory I wanted, but it would do. We will meet again Hero!" Majora stated before giving one last scream of pain. Link watched as the monster crumbled to pieces along with the room around them. Soon a bright light appeared from the floor and engulfed the entire room.

On the outside the all the people of Termina were watching the moon. They had heard from the Giants that a young boy name Link was fighting the monster inside that was responsible for all the changes in the land. Everyone, Dekus, Gorons, Zoras, and all the creatures in Termina had place all their hope on Link. Their hope was answered when the moon started to break apart and a pillar of light appeared. A few seconds later the face moon disappeared leaving the people of Termina a sense of peace. The people cheered and enjoying the taste of being alive while a rainbow appeared and the sun rising from the horizon.

At the same time Link's opened his eyes to see the clear blue sky. He slowly rose up and shake his head a little. Link reached for his hat to see if Tatl was alright. During the battle with Majora, Tatl got hit by Majora and Link decided to put her in his hat to keep her safe. However she wasn't in there. Link put his hat back on and was ready to see if she was around. When he stood up, he felt the Deity power swirling inside of him.

Link grunted a little, "Curse you Majora." Soon a familiar neigh and turned to see Epona, "Hey girl."

Link noticed Tatl with her brother Tael who were watching Skull Kid talking to the Giants, "You guys... You hadn't forgotten about me?" A Giant cried out to answer the question. This caused the Skull Kid to cry and look down at the ground while shaking, "You still thought of me as a friend?"

Tatl and Tael noticed the tears and flew over to cheer their friend up. The Giants began to sing the Oath to Order while they headed back to their own regions. Soon the Giants disappeared and Skull Kid finally dried his tears. He faced Link, "Did you... Did you save me?"

"Yes."

Skull Kid turned to the entrance to the canyon, "I thought they didn't want to be friends with me... But... They hadn't forgotten about me... Friends are a nice thing to have... Heh, heh."

Link remembered all his friends back in Hyrule and smiled, "They sure are."

"Could you be my friend, too?"

"What?"

Skull Kid went up to him and laughed a little, "You have the same smell as the fairy kid who taught me that song in the woods."

Link took a moment and he believed that Skull Kid was referring to someone from Kokiri. Link smiled, "Sure I'll be your friend."

"Really that's great! I know, I know! Let's do something!"

Link was about to answer when his neck started to hurt like crazy. Link screamed in pain and placed both hands on the side of his neck where Majora bitten him before falling to the ground.

Skull Kid lifted Link up a little, "Link are you okay!? Link? LINK!"

Close by the Happy masks Salesman watch as the hero lose consciousness before looking at the Majora's Mask, "The evil magic may be gone from the mask, but the price was too high. I wonder what will happen to him in the future? Perhaps I'll run into him someday."

Later on Link opened his eyes to see he was in a bed and slowly rose up.

"Good evening Link" a familiar voice said.

Link turned to see a familiar's face, "Kafei?"

"Yep its me!" Kafei said who was now back to normal. Along side him was Skull Kid, Tatl, Tael, Deku Princess, Goron Chief, Lulu, and the Major.

The Major spoke first, "Link thank you for saving Termina."

"On behalf of the the Deku Scrubs, we thank you Mr. Link" the princess said.

"Indeed, the Gorons are forever indebted to you" the Chief said.

Lulu nodded, "The Zoras are graceful as well."

Link rubbed the back of his head, "Don't worry about it."

"I wish I could stay, but I have to organize the carnival. You are welcome to Termina at anytime. Come Kafei we need to catch up."

Kafei smiled, "Of course dad."

Everyone watched the two leave the room before Skull Kid spoke, "Link what happen to you during the battle with Majora?"

Link took a deep breath and place a hand on his neck, "In Majora's last moments, it place a curse on me. The curse is that the Fierce Deity will take control of my body whenever my spirit is weak. I'm surprise it didn't happen when I was out."

"You should thanks them" Tatl said.

"Them?" Link asked before seeing his three transformation masks being held by the three tribes. Link look down, "So you guys figure it out?"

"Yes" the princess answered.

"Do you guys hate me for turning them into masks?" Link asked.

Chief shook his head, "No... In fact we are graceful."

"What?"

Lulu looked at the Zora Mask and smiled, "You freed Mikau, Darmani, and the Deku Butler's son from their pain. For that we are graceful."

"Beside you should thank them."

"What do you mean Princess?"

Tatl decided to answer, "According to the Great Fairy, the spirits within the mask had merge with your spirit. I believe that was how you were able to stay in your normal form."

Link closed his eyes to concentrate. After a few seconds the three spirits from his mask appeared before him. Link could tell that they will always be with him. Link opened his eyes, "You're Tatl. They are with me."

"I'm afraid that all the good news" the yellow fairy said.

"What the bad news?"

"The Great Fairy said that the spirit of the Deity cannot be separated. It is now permanently a part of your soul. I'm sorry Link" Tael said.

"I see. Skull Kid."

"Yeah Link?"

"Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course."

"I want you to deliver a message to someone."

7 years later

Link was sitting near a camp fire in an unknown forest. He couldn't believe seven years had already pass since the battle with Majora. He was now seventeen and he was wearing the outfit he wore when he traveled through time years ago. The only difference is that he was wearing a brown cloak. Link stroke the fire with a stick, "I wonder how everyone is doing? I hope Skull Kid was able to deliver my message."

Link recalled the day he left Termina, he was hoping to find a way to deal with the Deity's spirit inside of him. He decided to leave Epona behind and ask Skull Kid to take her back home. He was told that there a land that lies beyond the woods in the swamp that no man had ever gone before. Link assumed that this unknown land might give him the answers he's looking for. Before his departure, the people of Termina decided to give the same masks he got over the course of his journey. Skull Kid went to the Stone Tower Temple with the hope of finding another Giant's Mask and he managed to find one. Link thanks the people of Termina and headed toward the swamp where he could begin his new journey.

"Someday I will return home" Link said before closing his eyes. It was hard for him to get proper rest because of the Deity. The battle between souls take a lot out of Link. He trained over the course of his journey to build up the strength to fight off the Deity. Even with his new strength and the help of the masks' spirits, the spirit of the Deity can still put up a tough fight.

Before he can go to sleep, a large boom and caused the hero jumped on his feet. Link decided to purse the noise to see what is happening. He ran through the forest only to see a village on fire. Link's eyes widen for second before a fire burn in his eyes, "No... Who did this?"

"Elfman, get it together!" a female voice echoed.

Link followed the voice only to see two girls with white hair and a large shadowy monster approaching them. Link noticed one of the girl was injured and the other one was approaching the monster. Link's instincts were telling him to attack the monster and he took out his bow and got a Freeze Arrow out. Link saw the monster's right hand up and the air. He shouted to the girls before firing his arrow at the monster's hand, "Stay away from him!"

The two girls looked to the cliff for second before following the arrow which hit the monster's right hand and it suddenly was frozen in a block of ice. The next thing they saw was a someone leaping over the cliff with a sword in hand. The swordsman slash the monster's chest and grabbed the young girl. Link let go of her with the other who look exactly like her, "Listen get out here. It not safe."

"Who are you?" the younger girl said.

"It doesn't matter right now. This no place for two girls to be."

"What did you say!? Don't treat me like a helpless child!" the older girl said.

Link glared at her, "Are you kidding!? Look at you! You can barely move! If you want to stay that fine, but don't move! You'll just get in the way!"

"Mirajane, he's right. You are no condition to fight."

"Lisanna..." the older white hair girl said.

"Just leave it to me. I'll take care of him."

"Wait don't kill him! That monster is our brother, Elfman!" Lisanna shouted.

Link's eyes widen for second before narrowing his eyes to the monster who was trying to break the ice that surrounded his right hand, "So you're telling me that your brother's soul is taken over by a monster?"

"Yes."

Link looked at Elfman for a second before getting up on his feet, "I may be able to save him from the monster control."

The sisters' eyes widen, "You can!?"

"Yeah, but I'm going to have to fight him before I can help him. So I'm sorry in advance if I hurt him."

"Just save him, please" Mirajane begged.

"I will" Link took off his cloak and took out his mirror shield. He was wielding his Gilded sword and his mirror shield from Termina. Link charged at the monster and Elfman clutched his left hand before roaring and attacking Link. Link jumped to the tight side and stabbed Elfman's right thigh. Elfman roared in pain and used his frozen hand to attack Link. Link dodged each one of his attack and wait for the opportunity to counterattack. Link saw the opening and dashed right toward him. Link made a couple of slashes before jumping off Elfman's knee. Elfman raise his knee when he felt the pain which caused Link to launch into the air. Seeing Elfman's right shoulder wide open, Link grasped the handle of his sword with both hands and thrust it down and pierce right through. Elfman's rage increase which caused him to finally break the ice around his hand before using his left hand to reach Link. However, the hero predicted this attack and he quickly pulled out his sword and leap over the hand.

Link turned to the monster and grasped his sword tighter, "Damn, it look like I need to hurt him more before I can play the Song of Healing."

Meanwhile the sisters watched in amazement. They couldn't believe that a man that wasn't using magic to fight their brother. He was just using his own strength and he was holding his own. Mirajane was more shocked than her sister. She never would had thought that there was another swordsman other than Erza that could fight a wizard equally. Not only that, this was the first time that a man actually stood up against her. She was amazed at the man's courage and wondered even more who he was.

"He's... strong" Lisanna said with a slow pace.

Mirajane nodded, "Yeah."

Link was forced back because of the flying boulders that Elfman threw. He stopped right in front of the sisters and saw the monster coming toward them. Link turned around, grabbed the sisters, and threw them back. Mirajane was about to shout at him when she saw Elfman behind the hero and she realized that he was taking the hit for them. Link was sent flying to the left and crashed into the wall. As soon as he landed on the ground, boulders came crashing down and buried the hero.

Mirajane's eyes widen, "He... just... sacrificed himself... for us." This was the first time that anyone did something so selfless for her and her family. She saw it, but she still couldn't believe it. She turned to the approaching Elfman and tried to get up, "I will stop you brother!"

Meanwhile with Link, his consciousness began to fade and he was about to die. However, a dark, calm, and powerful voice appeared, "Foolish boy. You still trying to be the hero despite this curse. Amusing. I'm afraid I can't let you die. After all I need your body in order to return to the world."

Link grunted, "No..."

Mirajane was about to defend Lisanna from Elfman's fist, but an overwhelming pressure appeared which caused Elfman to stop his punch. They turned to the pile of boulders only to see it breakdown to tiny little pieces and a tall figure emerging from the rubble. The Fierce Deity had awaken.
