Hyrule Castle (Vaati's POV)
I have given up resisting the demon. When I do try to resist it, that fiend just laughs at me and increases the mind-vise pressure until I cry out in pain. I cannot live like this much longer…
Wake up, Vaati… I groan. He's going to try commit yet another evil act, and I can do nothing to prevent it. Which poor villager will fall prey to us this time? Not villager this time, something better! 'What do you mean?' I ask, startled into verbal (or thought) response. Just take a look! Heh heh…
I comply, and the sight before me shocks me into more vocalization. 'Are you insane, demon? The king? This will not help you, it will cause us both harm! Hyrule's king is too strong-willed to give in to you!' I exclaim, trying to deter the mad Minish Cap. On the contrary… I just need a moment.
The Cap forces my body into motion. For the first time in such a long time, I resist, pulling back with all my might. 'No, stop! Do nothing to this man! He is not yours, demon!' I shout at the monster within me, attempting to slow its progress. My, my, Vaati, you've gotten stronger! Looks like I'll have to drain your power again. Fortunately for him, it takes less energy to kill than to cast a spell… Let's see… hm…
The king looks up, and sees us as if for the first time. "Vaati! You slime, what are you doing here? How did you get past the guards?" he inquires. I feel a pang of sorrow shoot through me, followed by the agonizing feeling of the demon's "punishment" magic. "Heh heh heh…" The demon uses our shadow traveling power to disappear, then reappear directly in front of the man. A simple stone-spell, and the demon hoists the statue of the king, shadow travels to a convenient location to store him, and drains nearly all of my power in a self-transformation. I struggle, holding him back, trying continuously to seal my power off from his greedy, slimy energy. Oh, do stop that. It's useless to try, and it tickles something awful. I sigh, close my mind's-eyes, and allow my tired soul to rest as my mind drifts into sleep.
Elemental Sanctuary (Link's POV [third person])
Link stood before the pedestal, sword out, ready to infuse it with the final Element. "What are you waiting for, Link?" Ezlo squawked. "I know you want to savor the moment, but we've got no time for that!" "Alright, fine. I'm going, I'm going. I just thought I sensed something out in the courtyard of the palace… What now?" Link looked up. Ezlo was confused. "What do you mean, 'what now'?" Link shook his head. "Never mind. I thought I heard someone call me…"
Link sighed, jabbed the blade into the pedestal, and called forth the Wind Element. The emerald crystal floated over to its pillar, and all four Elements glowed, adding their powers to the White Sword. At that moment, the White Sword transformed, its hilt turning gold and its blade sharpening and shifting form. The Four Sword was revived!
Link pulled the Four Sword carefully from the pedestal and aimed it at the stone tablet behind him. Unleashing a Spin Attack, the sword shot a powerful gold beam of light at the stone, melting it and revealing a doorway carved into the opposite wall. "Link, you've done it! Let's go through there!" Ezlo called happily, bouncing up and down on Link's head. "Ow, Ezlo! Stop that, you're giving me another migraine!" The Hylian boy grabbed Ezlo, jammed him firmly back down, and walked through the arched door.
Inside, Link was dazzled by a sudden burst of colors and light. His mind filled with images of the past, memories of the Four Sword. When his vision settled, Link looked at Ezlo and said, "I think we found the secret of the Light Force!"
"Heh heh heh. Yes, you did, Link. How kind of you to show me! But, sadly, your usefulness has run out. Good bye, brat of the Four Sword!" Vaati appeared from nowhere, standing directly in front of the Hylian child, and began to charge up a powerful magic blast.Suddenly, the sorcerer stopped in mid blast, the magic in his hand wavering, fading. Vaati hurled the blast, and, though Link raised his shield to block it, he was struck full-force by the magic, and lost consciousness.
The talking hat shuddered, his voice fading and leaving Link with no doubt as to their fate. "Well," said Ezlo, "Enough of that! Let's go find that third Element! To the Castor Wilds!"
