Alright, time for the big showdown against Gabbron, who could possibly win this fight?


Punk Thrasher snapped his fingers, causing the ground to suddenly start shaking. Link and the town already knew what was to come. Link turned to the villagers and told them to get into hiding.

"Link, are you sure you can do this?" Ilia asked.

"Maybe, if my plan works." Link said, "You better go find shelter too, this could get rough."

"Okay." Ilia said, she gave Link a gentle hug before running off.

The trees around the village shook slightly before a familiar large looming being came walking in. It was Bottomless Gabbron, the exiled Goron that defeated Link three months ago. He was wielding the bone from before, only now modified into a giant club with stone attachments. In his other hand was a piece of meat which he was chewing away at before throwing the rest into his mouth.

"You called Thrasher?" Gabbron asked.

"I think ya know the drill Gabbron." Thrasher said grinning, his braces giving off a gleam of light from the sun, "Give this kid the beating of his life."

"Goody" Gabbron said, "I remember you, the carcass I tenderized last time, I'll have fun doing it again."

"We'll see about that." Link said, brandishing his sword.

Gabbron roared out as he raised his club into the air and brought it down at Link, who quickly rolled out of the way. Gabbron tried to hit the spot Link was in, but he backflipped out of the way and struck the bone part of the club with his sword, leaving a small cut on it.

"Told you Mr. Hero," Thrasher said, "No sword can pierce that guy's skin, or even dismantle his weapon!"

"Guess you're right." Link said, "That's why I need a new trick!"

Gabbron was confused by Link's words, but swung right at Link with his club, before Link hopped up and suddenly shot off in the blink of an eye.

"Huh…?" Gabbron asked, looking around. Thrasher too was confused, as he looked around for Link. Then something shot by slashing at the top of Gabbron's club again. Gabbron looked around wildly before something shot up and smacked into his foot, causing the monster to shout in pain.

"Who did that?!" shouted Gabbron.

It was then they saw Link coming at him riding on top of a strange device, it was a bronze-yellow color, and shaped like a child's toy top, only it had what looked like a gear circling it.

"What the heck is that?" Thrasher asked as Link rode past Gabbron, smacking him again with the object.

"This is the Spinner," said Link, "a treasure from Arbiter's Grounds in Gerudo Desert. It's one of the tools I used to take down your old bosses!"

"Graaah! You little pest! Stop moving!" shouted Gabbron as he smashed the ground around him with his club, desperately trying to hit Link. After a while, Link quickly bounced on the Spinnner and onto Gabbron's rocky back, using the cracks to shoot up to the top of his head.

"Get… off!" Gabbron said, he did a small jump which sent Link flying,

"Link!" Ilia shouted from her hiding place.

"Haha!" Gabbron shouted, "Now I'll send you flying to the sun!" He held his club like a baseball bat and swung it straight out at Link.

"Heh, you fell for it!" Link said, flipping the Spinner so it slammed directly into the club, the two attacks met at the same time, neither side backing down from the impact.

"What the heck?!" Thrasher said, watching the young man carefully.

Link pressed down on the Spinner, which grinded against the club, while Gabbron was using his strength to try and push Link and the Spinner away. Soon Gabbron could hear a slight crack.

"Hahaha," laughed Gabbron, "I broke your toy!" He swung the club with all his strength, sending Link and the Spinner flying high into the air.

Link landed to his feet safely, while the Spinner impacted into a cliff wall, embedding itself inside it.

"Ugh, I was hoping it'd last longer then that." Link said. He turned and looked up to Gabbron, who was slowly walking towards him.

"Now, I crush you!" Gabbron said, holding up his club. However, it was then that he heard a slight cracking sound.

"Well, it worked at least." Link said grinning.

"Huh…? What's that?" Gabbron asked, looking towards his club. His eyes widened when he realized what the cracking was.

The club soon broke apart to pieces, rendering it a pile of pebbles and bone marrow dust.

"AAAAHH!" Gabbron shouted with tears streaming down his eyes, "My club!"

"How the heck did that thing-" Thrasher started, but then it dawned on him, "Wait, the sword! I get it; he kept slashing at the club to make a cut just big enough that the Spinner thing could drill right into it!" He couldn't help but shake his head and grin. "That guy's good."

Gabbron however, wasn't too pleased. He roared at the top of his lungs.

"That club was my favorite! I built it myself from the bone of one of my most delicious meals!" Gabbron shouted.

"Oh, did I break your toy?" Link taunted, brandishing his sword and shield again.

"This is bad," Bo muttered to Ilia, "Even with his skill, he won't have any chance of beating that Goron with just that sword. We need to tell him to escape an- Ilia?" The father looked around in the spot he and Ilia were hiding in, but couldn't find her.

"How dare you…" Gabbron told Link, towering over him, "I'll crush you with my own two hands!" he roared and charged at Link.

"Fine then, put em up!" Link said, charging at him in return.

It was then that Link stopped in his tracks, seeing in shock that someone else was in between him and Gabbron. The person was standing their ground, doing their best to hold Gabbron back.

"W-What?!" Gabbron asked, realizing his hands were blocked by a new person he didn't recognize.

"Ilia?!" Link exclaimed.

Sure enough, it was Ilia, holding Gabbron back from attacking Link. She had her feet planted on the ground firmly and both her hands gripping the Goron's fists, and sporting an angry glare in her eyes.

"W-Who are you now?!" Gabbron asked.

"Link's backup." Ilia said simply, she started pushing on Gabbron to try and force him back.

"Geheheh…" he laughed, "A puny lady like you can't match up to my…" Gabbron then realized something was wrong, "…power…?" Try as Gabbron could, he couldn't crush Ilia, she was actually holding him back.

"H-Hey Gabbron, quit fooling around!" shouted a Bulbin, "You can take that fat-ass lady! Smash her into a pulp!"

Gabbron growled and applied extra force to Ilia, but she held her ground and pushed Gabbron back a bit, before lunging forward and smashing Gabbron in the gut with her palm.

"Graaaahhhh!" shouted Gabbron in pain, being forced back quite a bit.

"A-Am I seeing what I think I'm seeing?!" asked one of the bandits, "D-did that lady… j-just… drive back Bottomless Gabbron?!"

"You hurt me…" Gabbron muttered, rubbing his stomach, "I'll crush you for that!" He charged right at Ilia and slammed into her with a shoulder charge, Ilia screamed out and flew back from the impact.

"Ilia!" Link shouted, he stood from the hiding place and was about to attack Gabbron, but Bo grabbed his shoulder and stopped him.

"Wait." Bo said, "Just watch, Ilia's got this."

Link looked to Bo oddly, then to Ilia, seeing that she stopped herself, and didn't look like she was in much pain.

"Whew… this is rough…" Ilia said, "I would need to fight off this brute like he's a…" It suddenly dawned on her, "Yes… like in my training!" Ilia started walking towards him slowly.

"Ready for another round?" Gabbron asked grinning. He brought back his fist and wound it up, ready for a powerful punch.

Ilia stopped up to him and stood still. She took a deep breathe and watched Gabbron carefully. When Gabbron threw his fist forward, she shifted her weight and took a step to the side, completely avoiding the punch. Gabbron looked in shock as he stumbled a bit, giving Ilia the chance to deck him in the side with a palm smack.

"Whhhhaaaatttt?!" shouted the Bulbin bandits, by this point their jaws were dropped to the ground and their eyes were shooting out form their heads in shock.

"Wait…" Link said, "Isn't that style of fighting…?"

"Correct Link," Bo said with a grin, "She's using her new found bulk to stand up to that Goron, in the same way that our family has done for generations."

Ilai grabbed Gabbron by his arm and summoning all the strength she had, swung him around in circles and threw him down to the ground. She looked down at the Goron with an angry stare.

"The family sumo wrestling style!" Bo concluded proudly.

Punk Thrasher didn't say a word; he just stood in place watching carefully.

"Get up Gabbron!" shouted the Bulbins, "Don't let her win!"

"Graaahh… graaahh…." muttered Gabbron, slowly forcing himself up, breathing heavily. "GRAAAAAHHH!" he shouted, flexing his arms, "I've had it with you, stupid lady! I'll tear your head off, and eat your meat!" Practically foaming at the mouth, he rushed at Ilia with his hands out.

Ilia stood her ground and allowed his palms to impact into hers, and the two started pushing each other, trying to overcome the other. Ilia was starting to weaken, and sweat ran down her face.

"I am the all powerful Bottomless Gabbron, I've destroyed powerful warriors and Gorons alike! 'll smash you! I'll crush you! I'll gobble you up, as well as that green hated brat!" Gabbron shouted in a blind rage.

"You… will… not… hurt him… again!" Ilia shouted out to Gabbron. She pulled her arms up let go for a split second, before quickly lunging forward and smacking Gabbron in the gut with her palm, then going into a rapid motion, stepping forward smashing him in the body with her palms. Ilia didn't let up for a second, not giving Gabbron any chance to counter, until he was left staggering.

"You got him on the ropes Ilia!" Link shouted. By this point the whole town had caught up to the scene and were watching the fight. "Take him down!"

Ilia threw her arm back and putting all her strength into it, threw it forward, smacking Gabbron in the stomach, this caused the giant Goron to lurch forward, foam flew out from his mouth as his eyes turned a blank white.

"I… Impossible…" muttered Gabbron before he fell backwards and impacted into the ground, unconscious.

"AAAAHHHH!" the Bulbin all shouted at once. "Gabbron's been… defeated?!"

Ilai let out a sigh of relief before falling backwards onto her rear, propping herself up from behind with her arms. The villagers cheered out as Link ran up to her and hugged her tightly.

"Ilia," Link said, "That was incredible!"

"I'm… sorry… I got… in… the way…" Ilia said, her face a bright red from a combination of embarrassment and exhaustion, "I just… wanted… to help… you…"

Link grinned, "Its fine Ilia, you did more then I ever could against that guy."

"Link…" Ilai muttered, still blushing.

"So Mr. Thrasher," Bo said walking out from the hideout, "It seems we've beaten your whole gang, ready to quit?"

"Heh… not likely." Thrasher said, "After all, you didn't beat my whole team, I'll still up and ready, right?"

"Yes, but you're also outnumbered." Bo said, the other villagers all held their weapons out as if to agree with him, "Maybe you should qui-"

"Wait Bo." Link said, standing up and walking up to Thrasher, "I'll fight him myself."

"Really Mr. Hero?" Thrasher asked, "You just want to have a 1–on-1? Mano-e-mano?"

"Yeah," Link said, he threw his shield to the side and went into a fighting stance with his sword. "No allies, no tricks, just you and me."

Thrasher simply grinned, showing off his braces.

"Sounds good Mr. Hero, I was really hoping we'd get this chance to fight." He took a chain from his belt and undid a cufflink on it, then swung it out, revealing it to be a 9-foot long chain. He swung it as effortlessly as a leather whip into his hand.

"Let's go."


With Gabbron down, the final battle's coming up, the Legendary Hero Link versus Punk Thrasher. I hope you guys look forward to this one.
