Fight of Your Life

"Mate, how exactly are we going to kill Darkie?" Joey asked as they walked out of the mansion.

Jacob looked at him. "It's simple. We are going to get the Master Sword." Jacob noticed that Joey had stopped walking.

"The Master Sword? THE Master Sword? What makes you think we can use it?"

Jacob continued walking. "Because I used it once before two years ago. I'm pretty sure I can use it again."

"Do you even know where it is?" Joey asked.

Jacob shook his head. "No, but my father does. That is why we are going to see him."

oey couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Even if we could get it mate, how are we going to get to Ordon? It's one day away even if we hurry and don't rest."

Jacob smiled. "I know Joey. But I have a plan." He pulled something out of his pocket. Joey noticed it was a pendant. Jacob opened it up and looked into it.

"Ah. Hello my good boy." A voice said. Joey looked around to see where it had come from, then he noticed that the voice had come out of the pendant.

"Hello Professor. I need your help."

"Ask and you shall receive." the pendant said, chuckling.

"We have unleashed the evil I told you about. Now it is loose in Hyrule. I am up in the Snow Peak mountains with a Honor Guard by the name of Joey De Angelis. We need to get to Ordon to ask The Hero Link where he has hid The Master Sword. Do you think you could help us?"

"Well..." the pendant said. "I suppose I could. I mean, it will be difficult. Show me this Joey so I can size him up." Jacob turned the pendant towards Joey. Joey jumped back, surprised to see a short man staring at him through the pendant.

"Oh, by the way Joey, this is Professor Mathis. I met him during my travels and we sort of became friends. He gave me this pendant so I can reach him anytime I need help." Jacob explained.

"And right you should've boy. Now, this will hurt a bit, but I think I can get you to Ordon by using one of the old Twilight portals still near Ordon. But like I said, it will hurt."

Jacob looked over at his friend. "You think you can handle it?"

Joey smiled. "Bring it on mate." he closed his eyes though, and prayed to the Goddess' to let him live through this. Suddenly, he felt himself get broken into pieces without so much of the pain. He wanted to cry out, but he couldn't find his voice. As soon as it began, it was over and Joey was lying in water. He pulled himself up to find that he was in the Ordon Spring. Surprised that it work, he stood up only to feel Jacob splash down beside him.

Jacob stood up, looked around, and pulled the pendant back out. "Thank you Professor. You've done it once again."

"Anytime my boy. Remember to keep in touch!" Mathis shouted before Jacob closed the pendant and slipped it into his pocket.

"He sure seems like a cheeky fellow, huh?" Joey remarked sarcastically.

Jacob laughed. "He is, I'll admit. But he is a good man. Now, let's go see my father." they started walking towards town. Suddenly, a Moblin jumped out and tackled Joey. They went crashing to the ground with the Moblin on top.

"Hehe. My master told me you would be coming." It laughed as Joey wrestled with it.

"Oh, I bet." Jacob said. The Moblin turned its head only to have a foot slam into it. The Moblin flew off Joey and landed in the water. Joey jumped up, drew his sword, and stabbed it as it was getting up. The Moblin uttered a tiny scream as it exploded into nothing.

Joey sighed. "Thanks mate. I owe you."

"It's nothing. I just wonder how it knew we were going to be here."

Joey shrugged. "Maybe since he was in you mate, Darkie knew you would come back here at least to make sure your family was safe..." Joey trailed off, knowing what he just said would cause Jacob to panic. Jacob's eyes grew wide. "Jacob?" Joey asked.

Jacob turned to him. "That means he may have gone for Abby! I need to go make sure she's okay!" Jacob started walking north, but Joey stopped him.

"Listen mate. You head to Ordon and get The Master Sword. I'll go check on Abby. They'll let me through since I am a Honor Guard."

Jacob sighed, knowing what he was saying was true. "Alright. But be careful Joey."

oey nodded. "You do the same mate." he turned and ran to Castle Town. Jacob looked after him for a minute, then turned and ran towards Ordon.

Jacob dashed into the village. Link wasn't in his house, so he hoped that he would be here. Sure enough, Jacob saw his father standing outside Rusl's house, talking to the mayor. "Father!" he cried out.

Link turned and saw his son hurrying to him. "Jacob? What is it?"

Jacob stopped short of Link, trying to catch his breath. "I n-need the M-master Sw-sword father."

Link looked confused. "The Master Sword? Why?"

Jacob looked his father in the eyes. "Because my dark side has escaped. We are now on the eve of our destruction. The only way to prevent it is The Master Sword. Now please father, where is it?"

Link stared at his son. Had this happened two years ago, he would've dismissed the idea and sent Jacob to play. But he had seen first hand what this 'evil' could do, and anything he could do to help he would do. "Follow me Jacob." Link led Jacob to his house. They climbed down to the basement, where they walked over to a chest. Link used a key to unlock the chest and pushed it open. Inside, the Evil's Bane laid, untouched. Jacob reached it to grab it, hoping he could. He was surprised when the blade shot up and into his hand. Link smiled. "It seems The Master Sword has accepted you as its new master."

Jacob stared at the sword. "Now I need to catch up with Joey. He went to check on Abby." Link nodded. Jacob went to go walk out, but stopped. He turned back to his father and handed him another sword. Link pulled it out of its sheath to see that it was his old Ordon sword. "I figured that you would like it back after all these years. It's a reliable sword father."

Link nodded. "That it is my son. Now go. I'll bring the family to Castle Town so we are all together for this."

Jacob nodded. "Okay father. I will see you."

Joey dashed through the gates. He had to hurry as fast as he could. There was no time left. Running through the square, he spotted Abby leaving the bar where she worked. "Abby!" Joey called out.

Abby looked around. When she finally noticed Joey, she waved. He ran over to her and grabbed her arm. "We need to leave. Now." he said.

Abby looked confused. "What are you talking about?" Joey leaned towards her.

"You're in danger. Everyone here is in danger. We need to leave."

"Awe, but then you would miss the show." a voice said behind him. Joey spun around only to get punched in the face. He flew back into the fountain. Everyone was screaming and running in different directions. Joey looked up to see Dark advance on Abby.

"Oh, no you don't!" Joey shouted as he threw himself at Dark. He collided into him and they fell to the ground. Dark kicked at Joey and knocked him off. Joey went rolling and jumped to his feet, pulling his sword out along the way.

Dark slowly pulled his sword out and faced the Honor Guard. "You certainly are courageous, I will give you that much." Dark swung at Joey but was blocked. "But it is futile. Eventually, even the darkness wins."

"Oh yeah?" Joey jumped at Dark, swords clashing. Every thrust was blocked by Dark's swift movements. "Well, not today!" He slashed Dark's arm and kicked him in the chest. Dark fell to the ground, but was instantly back up. He started rushing Joey, throwing strikes everywhere. Eventually, Joey's sword was knocked out of his hands. It came crashing a few feet away. Before Joey could retrieve it, Dark's sword was at his throat.

"You know, I will admit. You're dark side wasn't much of a fighter. It was no surprise he ran from me. But you boy. You are the perfect soldier. I could use a fighter like you when I take over."

Joey stood still. "Go to hell." he quickly swatted the sword away from him and threw a punch at Dark. But Dark moved out of the way, grabbed Joey's arm, and flung him into a wall. Joey lay there, unconscious. Dark smiled, then advanced onto Abby. She started backing up, but he grabbed her hair.

Pulling her up, he smiled. "Now you are mine pretty."

"JACOB!" Abby screamed out, praying for a miracle.

Jacob was running through Hyrule Field when he began to feel a strange feeling. His hand instantly went to the Triforce necklace Abby gave him, and it became clear. Abby is in danger. He thought. Jacob took one step forward, then felt himself being lifted into the air. He closed his eyes and when he opened them, he was in Castle Town square. The first thing he saw was Joey unconscious. Jacob looked over and saw Dark holding Abby by the hair.

"JACOB!" she cried out.

"I'm here Abby!" he said. Dark turned in surprise. He threw Abby to the ground and walked over to Jacob.

"Well, well Jacob. It seems you have managed to get here in time. But it is all for nothing. I will kill you, your friend, and maybe your girl. Of course, I might let her live to be my pet." Jacob could feel the anger inside of him rise up. He slowly drew The Master Sword and got into his fighting stance. Dark's eyes went wide as he saw the shining blade in Jacob's hands. "It seems you have found a use for the Master Sword again. How very good for you."

He launched himself into the air and came crashing down upon Jacob. Jacob blocked Dark's attack, then pushed his sword aside and attempted to slice his hand off. Dark moved back and lashed out at Jacob, but Jacob pushed the punch aside and tried driving his sword up into the demon's heart, but was unlucky as Dark jumped back. "It seems we are evenly matched. Looks like this will go on forever." Dark laughed, then screamed as a sword was drove through his heart.

He turned to find Joey holding the sword, smiling. "Guess not mate." he back-flipped away as Dark swung at him.

"You will pay!" Dark cried.

"Hey Dark!" Dark turned and saw light explode in front of him. He felt agonizing pain in his heart. When the light settled, Dark saw the hilt of the Master Sword sticking up, with the blade deep inside of him. He looked up to see Jacob. "I guess your time is up."

"No!" he cried out. He lunged at Jacob, but Jacob stepped out of the way and tripped Dark. Dark fell to the ground and the blade went even deeper. He cried out one final time before he vanished.

Jacob walked over to where the sword laid and picked it up. He turned to Joey. "At last. It is over." he sighed from exhaustion. Abby ran up into Jacob's arms and hugged him tight.

Joey came walking up beside them, smiling. "That it is mate. Nice stab, by the way. Couldn't have done it better myself. Oh, look who decided to show up NOW?" Jacob and Abby turned to see guards running towards them.

"Drop your weapons!" one of them called out.

"Calm down you idiots! I'm a Honor Guard. And in case you didn't realize, we just saved your sorry butts!" the guards instantly backed down. The trio was surprised to see Zelda step out to them.

"Good work Joey and Jacob. It seems you have saved the day." she turned towards Jacob. "I would assume that the man you killed was..."

Jacob nodded. "He was my dark side. But he is gone now. We do not have to worry about him"

Zelda nodded. "As it should be. You know, we could use more men like you in our Honor Guards. You thinking of joining?"

Jacob looked at Joey, then at Abby, then back at Zelda. "It would be a honor, but I think I will just stay with Abby. I've had my share of adventures for the last two years. I want to relax for a while."

Zelda smiled. "I understand. Take care Jacob. Joey, if you could come with me."

Joey stood still. "If it is okay with you Queen, I would like to be posted at Ordon."

Zelda looked surprised. "Are you sure Joey?"

Joey nodded. "Yes I am Queen Zelda." Zelda nodded.

"Then it is settled. You will head out for Ordon tomorrow. Now, I must go. Joey, I would like you to follow me please."

Joey turned and held out his hand to Jacob. "It was interesting mate. Tell Mathis that I said to not be so cheeky the whole time."

Jacob laughed and shook his hand. "It has been fun Joey. Take care of yourself also."

Joey smiled and walked off with Zelda. A bark was heard. Everyone turned around to see Arek come bounding after Joey. "Arek!" Joey said. Arek jumped into his arms and began licking him. Everyone laughed at the little pup. Joey turned back to Zelda. "Let us go Queen."

Jacob watched them walk off, then turned to Abby."Looks like it's just the two of us."Abby said, smiling up at Jacob.

"Wouldn't have it any other way." he replied and kissed her. For once, all was right with Jacob's world.

"Argh!" Dark cried out. He punched the tree that he was by. Now, he was stuck in the afterlife. It normally wouldn't be a problem, but since he was stuck in this inferior body, he couldn't escape. "That boy has ruined my plans for too long. I will finish him soon."

"Maybe you could use some help." a deep voice replied. Dark turned and looked at the figure in surprise.

"Well, if it isn't the man himself?" Dark laughed.

"Yes it is. I believe we could both do with getting out of here. And I have the perfect plan."

Dark looked interested. "Do tell me." and so the planning began. They thought it was all over.

But it was really far from over. Revenge was only the beginning.
