A/N: this will be the final chapter of this story. I finally will finish it.
Chapter 7
For the Fate of Us All
Link cursed again when a blast of magic came to close, again. The fight had started in his favor, being able to get some damaging slashes at Shiomo until many thought she was dead. He started to celebrate a quick victory when a flash of light came from behind him. He watched in horror as a gigantic red rope grew from the base of her neck and disappeared into the depths of the Dark World, causing her body to increase tenfold. Then four blue ropes soared from those depths and fused to her hands and feet. That's when things got bad.
She'd send bolts of magic of different types. The only one he could even work with was a yellow-ish ball she would throw. He could then return the blasts and it would go back and forth until one missed. When she would he'd charge in and cut one of the ropes before being tossed away. He discovered the hard way that was the only one he could even come near when a combination of ice and fire drove his sword far away. Link had to sprint to his sword before the lasers would get him.
He had finally gotten down to just the red rope. When the yellow lightning ball appeared above her head, he prepared for it. He watched it tumble in his direction. Once in his vicinity he sliced at it, sending it back. This continued for three or four more until she finally missed it and the ball smashed into her face. Link raced up and pulled the Master Sword as far back as he possibly could. With an unearthly cry, he swung the sword, cleaving the rope easily. Stepping back, he could only watch as Shiomo's body returned to its normal size. Her skin starts to bubble and blacken until darkness covered her. What rose frightened Link, an emotion he didn't know.
Somehow she had been turned into a shadow monster. From its square head with tentacle-like appendages to its brutish body, Link had never seen a creature like it. Screams of anguish came from the twili audience. The hero concluded it was of their world. Six pillars dropped from the sky and dark energy connected them, creating a smaller arena. It roared, creating a portal in the sky above him. Two beings just like it dropped from the portal. One landed across from the beast while the other landed where Link was standing. He had dived out of the way, waiting patiently for their next move.
They charged. Drawing his weapon back, Link waited for them. But then his sword hitched on something. Or that's what he thought. Looking back, he saw that the wall was trying to pull his weapon away. He put all of his effort into pulling it back, but then one of the shadow beasts collided into his back and forced him into the side. He felt like he was on fire and let go of the sword, letting it fall on the ground outside of the walls. He fell on his back and the beasts watched patiently, waiting.
Intense pain flared with in Link's body as it started to change. His limbs were forced into positions not natural and a tail started to grow. His facial structure morphed into that of a wolfs and then fur grew quickly, ending the transformation. He moved quickly, attacking the beast in front of him and tearing at its throat. Watching, the body tumbled onto the ground, becoming a useless sac of flesh. One of the other beasts attacked him, but Link dodged the attack. His attention turned to the other beast and he attacked. His tearing, gnashing teeth ruined the creature and soon it, along with the other died. The barrier disappeared and Link ran to the sword.
The magic of the blade removed the curse from his body and he returned to normal. Looking around, he spotted seven circular emblems. Each represented one of the sages: light, shadow, fire, water, forest, spirit, and time. And then they all shattered. A tiny voice within Link's head told him that the seals over the King of Evil had been broken. Every soul watched in horror as a body appeared within the arena. They moved closer, but further at the same time when they saw movement. The massive Gerudo stood up, towering over Link. The brown tan that was common for his people had turned a sickly grey, due from the Triforce of Power's effects on those with evil in their hearts. His orange hair dipped below his shoulders and his clothes had become black from the Dark World's effects. Then he spoke.
"So you are the new Hero, the one prophesized to stop me. You look weaker than the one who had imprisoned me within the Sacred Realms' vile counterpart." He looked up at the monarch of Hyrule. "You look just like Princess Zelda when I last saw that whore. Those two ruined my plans and stopped me from fulfilling my purpose; neither of you will prove to be a threat." Using his dark magic, Ganon forced Link away and drew his blade.
"Have at you, boy."
They both charged at each other, hell bent on killing the other. Their swords clashed with sparks flying. Link was shaking in his attempt to keep Ganon's blade from crushing his skull. A fist flew into his exposed side and he felt ribs break. Link fell and Ganon forced his foot on his throat.
"The other Hero was way harder to kill. You aren't even worth it." He spat in the hero's face and proceeded to finish the job. Before he could, an arrow struck him in the chest, forcing him away from Link. He felt his strength being sapped by the light arrow and ripped it out. The King of Evil coughed up blood.
"You can't kill me. None here other than you, hero, can wield that blade. You are doomed to fail." He then threw his sword at Link. He put his shield out in front of him, but then realized he had lost it earlier. He dove out of the way, but the blade sunk into his right lung. Many cried at seeing this sight. Link walked forward slowly, feeling his life slip away. Once near Ganon, he tried to stare his enemy down.
"You're wrong. I can kill you." With the last of his strength, Link forced the blade of evil's bane into Ganon's chest, and then fell to the ground. Dead.
A/N: I had to finish this and it sorta spiraled out of control. And the 3DS will have what appears to be Ocarina of Time as one of its games, along with Kid Icarus, StarFox 64 3D, and plenty of others.
Maybe I'll write out the funeral for the Hero, but only if you review.
