Ganondorf threw his head back and laughed. Here he was, on his righteous throne, and two miscreants dared to challenge him? Foolish.
Link and Midna had no clue what they were about to face, but they were ready to fight. And fight, they would.
But not who they were expecting.
Maniacal laughter emanated from all around Hyrule Castle.
"This isn't good…" Midna muttered.
Twilit shards started to fall from the ceiling, forming the familiar shape of Zant.
He cocked his head to the side, observing Midna.
"Ah, Midna my darling. You're still as impish as ever."
She curled her small hands into fists.
"And you should be dead, Zant."
Zant laughed loudly and then stopped.
"How do you expect to kill me, when I have an allegiance with the God of Darkness?"
Ganondorf merely nodded, before thrusting an opened palm at Midna.
Midna contorted and screamed, being lifted into the air. Link sprinted to Ganondorf's throne and drew the Master Sword. Before he could hack it down, Zant materialised in front of him and unsheathed his two knives discreetly, before swiping them upwards, straight for the Ordonian hero's neck.
"LINK!" Midna screamed, still in pain, but not bothered. What mattered was keeping him alive, but why, she didn't know. It was a heartfelt feeling.
A light shone from deep inside her, and she lost her imp form. The true Midna looked at her arms, her curved sides, and smiled, before noticing the situation at hand.
All Twili learn to battle at a young age.
Midna had taken up swordsmanship.
The Twilit Blade appeared and was reunited with its owner.
"There is an opposite of everything in the Twilight Realm, but we have no hero." Midna looked cruelly at Zant, who shrugged his shoulders and shot back.
"At least you're an imp…" before realising his workmanship was undone.
"No, I believe you're mistaken there, Brother." Midna smiled again, and Zant gasped mockingly.
"Ah well. I get to mash in your beautiful-"he coughed for effect.
"Face!" Zant laughed, and left Link alone to rain down blows on Midna, who was doing her best to parry the blows.
Ganondorf laughed, and rose from his throne.
"All your petty feuds, come to an end now. A battle to end all."
