4. Chapter 4-Burning Twilight

Link quickly regained his composure and began to run towards the monster.

"That's the Twilight Dragion!" the Twilight Fairy said.

The Dragion reared back its head as Link closed in on it and slammed its head onto the floor, the shock knocked Link back but he quickly recovered. Link then tried to grapple black horns on its head with his new weapon but the Dragion's stinger tail lunged forward from behind and nearly struck Link.

The Dragion lifted up his head again and a large flame bellowed from its mouth. Acting quickly, Link targeted a large, round target just above monster and fired his Twilight Claw at the target it and Link was pulled to the ceiling and avoided the flame. Link fell and landed right on the back of the Dragion, the monster started to thrash around ferociously and Link was thrown off, but Link was able to spot a white scar on its back as he was thrown off. Link softly landed and rolled to recover himself.

"Did you see that scar? Link, that must be the Dragion's weak spot...but...how are we gonna get to it?" the Twilight Fairy queried.

Link immediately developed a plan. He realized that the Dragion effortlessly protected its scar with its stinger-like tail. If he was to disable its tail, then maybe he would be able to get to its weak spot. When the Twilight Dragion began to blow a blast of fire from its mouth, Link jumped to the side and rolled near the back of the Dragion and fired his Twilight Claw at the Dragion's tail. The monster's tail was yanked towards Link and the Dragion was pulled off its feet and was stunned. Link then pulled out his Four Sword and slashed at the monster's vulnerable tail. After 2 combos the Dragion sprang up. The fight continued for another round until the Link finally destroyed the Dragion's segmented tail. Then Link proceeded to get to the monster's scar on its back. Link positioned himself to the front of Dragion and when the Dragion reared its head back, Link quickly fired the Twilight Claw at the monster's horn and the Dragion was yanked towards Link and fell to the ground hard. The Link fired the Twilight Claw to the target on the ceiling and Link landed on the back of the Dragion with the Four Sword in the Dragion's scar.

The Dragion roared loudly, thrashing about aimlessly and wildly around the arena, and then it ran into the center of the arena and roared high to the ceiling. Its body cracked and white light shined through the cracks. Then it exploded. A small black crystal, shrouded in a gray aura appeared and floated towards Link.

"That looks like the Twilight Crest of Rage!" said the fairy.
