The armies charged at one another, swords clashed and arrows filled the sky. The Hylian Army was sure to win the war through attrition, but the living army had not accounted for the ferocity of Link's army. The Stal warriors were capable of handling three Hylian soldiers at once with relative ease. The Gorons and Zoras had ignored the Stal warriors and began to attack Machadra. The reanimated dragon swiped away at them and crushed many beneath his feet; but this did not stop a few Gorons and Zoras from climbing upon him. They began to smash his bone exterior. He let out a roar and fell to his knees in pain. As the Gorons and Zoras continue to beat him, lightning began to flash. Bolts began to zip towards his body and struck at the Zoras. Water began to fill the lungs of the Gorons and drown them. They dropped off the beast one by one as they were attacked. Machadra returned to his feet and looked to his side to see some of the Nazo race aiding him. He let out a roar of gratitude and put a wing down for some warriors to ride upon him. They ascended and Machadra took flight and began to spew flames upon the Hylian Army. In the thick of all the action was Link. He had slain many of his former friends and had led the Stal Army to the bridge leading into Castle Town. The Hylians were retreating at an alarming rate.
The Hylians were not trained like this. Something is wrong. Majora has something planned if they're willingly giving up this much ground. Link thought to himself as the battle waged on. Link continued to slash and led the assault. Soon the two armies had found themselves in the middle of the town square striking each other down. The people of Castle Town locked themselves in their homes and looked on in horror at the massacre. Snow began to fall. The white blanket was slowly drenched with crimson liquid and the combatants grew weary. Magena had been overlooking the battle the entire time and gave out a laugh. The plan was coming together. Magena retreated into the castle. She went into the main hall and dropped to both of her knees and began to laugh maniacally. Her pupils began to turn orange and yellow, her irises transformed into a sinister green. Veins began to pop from her arms. Her body turned to a magenta color and at last she gave one last laugh and an explosion occurred. The armies turned and looked at the castle in disbelief. Link looked, almost in tears. Thoughts of Zelda raced through his mind. The Stal Army followed their captains lead and didn't move except to blankly stare at the smoke. The Hylians noticed this and capitalized on the mistake. A sword ran through Links stomach. He spit up blood and was thrown to the ground by the soldier. The Stal Army hadn't noticed until it was too late. The Hylians were fighting with more confidence. While the Stal warriors were fierce, their bodies were frail. Link lay at the bottom of the bloody brawl. Choking on his own blood he looked to the sky to see the moon. The image terrified Link. He coughed up blood and pulled himself to sit up. He held his wound with his hand. He went to a pouch he kept on his side. He grabbed the item he was looking for. As he went to pull it out, he was picked up off the ground and slammed against the wall by an unseen force. Link yelled out and squinted through the pain. The magic was that of Majora, the dark energy sealed Link against the wall. Majora had made his way from the castle to the battlefield in little time. Link couldn't believe it. Majora made his way over to Link, stopping only to pick up what Link was hoping he wouldn't see.
"Very interesting boy. You've kept this mask all this time. Glad to see the gift I gave you has come in so handy for you. So much that you decided to start a war you had little chance of winning." Majora taunted him.
"Even if I die, I still have faith the army that the Fierce Deity and I started will win this war." Link quipped back.
"Well let's do a quick head count boy. You're misfit band of wizards and a dead dragon are being overcome by a few Hylians, Gorons and Zoras. The Stal Army is being decimated by living beings. All this bloodshed and you won't even save the world. My Hylians are foolish enough to believe that I'll keep my word to stop the moon. Truth is, there is no stopping it. Not this time. No giants will save this land. But as for you my dear Link…You, you will die." Majora chuckled aloud.
"But first…" Majora gripped ahold of the Fierce Deity mask and crushed it. Link looked on in horror as he was powerless to stop it. Majora's maniacal laughter filled the sky. Tears began to form in Link's eyes.
"You…You son of a bitch…You killed him…After everything you already did to him you killed him."
"You're right I did, what are you going to do about it boy?" Majora looked on at Link. Sensing a phenomenal energy around him. Majora watched as Link's eyes began to turn gold. The golden aura surrounded Link once more. He began to struggle and squirm but Majora's dark energy would not budge. Majora looked on with absolute glee. Link continued to struggle.
"You fool, you are only empowering the dark energy. Do you not remember the Skull Kid? Deep down his good intentions fueled my dark desires and you are doing the same! It's hopeless! I have won!" Majora screamed with glee. He looked back to see that the Hylians had all but decimated the Stal Army.
"My great warriors! Whom would destroy the traitor Link?"
The army burst into roars. Majora looked back. Link was weakened. His body was worn out from the stress over the weeks and it had finally caught up with him.
"You know Link, you should quit with this hero business. You already have grey hairs and you're not even 20." Majora mocked him. The sinister being used his power to pry Link from the wall and through him into the fountain at the middle of the plaza.
"Kill him!"
The Hylians descended upon him. Their bloodlust similar to that of Majora's now. The townsfolk had even become intoxicated with death by Majora's mere presence. They all watched from their windows as the soldiers tore at him. The earth began quaking as the moon grew closer. Majora looked on in disturbed pleasure. The earth beneath them began to quake even more beneath them. Majora's eyes narrowed. This quake wasn't from the moon. A bright beam of light burst from the mass of bodies surrounding Link. It shimmered gold but slowly began to turn lighter and lighter. The light incinerated all of those that were close to Link. The light turned white, dark lightning began to wrap around it. A yell was let out. Majora looked on in horror. The Hylians had backed off. Thunder was heard bellowing throughout the light grey sky. The dark lightning continued to strike down, murdering numerous Hylian soldiers. A bolt hit in front of Majora. The light blinded him temporarily. He rubbed his eyes furiously and looked out. A pair of white eyes returned a paralyzing glare.
