(Chapter Ten – Draw Your Sword, Hero of the Wind!)
It was almost the end of the summer. In fact, after this very day, it will be the first day of fall. The sky was covered with clouds, each cloud was tinted a different shade of silver. The weather was chilly and windy, and rain was lightly falling from the heavens. Though the sun was completely covered up, it was still possible to tell that the sun was going down. Nighttime was now right around the corner. Link, Rika and Aryll were all walking down the shore of the beach.
"We're almost there, you guys," announced the boy, his voice sounding serious.
His little sister then folded her arms and replied, "We better be! Shoot! I wasted practically my whole day thanks to you, fat head!"
"Link, where exactly are you taking us again?" asked his blue haired friend, her finger on her chin as she spoke.
"To my destiny," was his response.
"Boy, you brought us all the way down here just because of your stupid destiny? I don't give two craps about whatever your destiny is! All I care about is getting something to eat!" Rika gave Aryll an angry look after she heard her say all of that.
"Can you ever shut up?" asked Rika.
The blond girl then kicked her in the shin and noisily retorted back, "Can you ever stop being ugly?"
"If you weren't Link's little sister, I'd!"
"Quiet!" said the warrior, stopping Rika from finishing her intimidating sentence. He looked around for a while, and then deeply alleged, "This is it! This is the spot!" The area they were at now was quite large. It was like the shore greatly expanded at this point.
"So, now what?" asked his girlfriend, looking around in perplexity.
Aryll started to kick the sand as she shouted, "Man, this is so boring and stupid! I mean, it's more fun taking a dump than doing this!" Rika then gave her a 'what the heck' face when she said that.
"Yeah, thanks for sharing that with us, Aryll," said the blue haired girl with a sarcastic tone of voice. Rika then turned her attention over to Link and asked him, "Well, we're here, so what happens next?"
"Rika, remember when I told you about that fighting place that I go to sometimes?"
"Yeah, I do. What about it?"
"Remember that guy I told you about? That guy who looks and reminds me of myself?"
"Yeah, I remember that, too."
"Well, he talked to me a long time ago about having a battle, a battle to see who the best is. We planned this battle on this very day, and now is the time to find out am I really worthy of the title Hero of the Wind." She wondered why he never told her about this a long time ago, but that wasn't really crucial at the moment.
"Well, I'll be here rooting for you, Link."
"Yeah, and I'll be here booing you, big brother."
"Thanks, you two. All I have to do now is be patient."
They all stood there for several minutes, waiting and waiting for this mysterious man to show up. After a brief moment of waiting, a whirlwind then appeared; a Hylian male residing inside of it. Once the small cyclone went away, there stood Link wielding his shield with his right arm; it was the Twilight Princess version of Link, by the way.
"Oh, Toon Link, you're actually here, and you brought friends along, I see." His voice sounded a lot deeper then he looked. Rika and Aryll were staring at him, Aryll's mouth wide open, Rika's eyes looking a tad wider. The young boy then turned his head and looked at them, noticing their staggered face expressions. "You know the rules! The first one to fully fall on the ground losses!" explained the older man, fixing up his belt.
"Hey, why are you guys looking like that?"
"He's so handsome," answered Aryll, sounding like she was in a daze.
"But he looks like me!"
She didn't say anything back to him; she just kept staring.
"I'm just shocked at how much he resembles you! I mean the hair, the clothes, the ears, the boots, everything!" said the girl with plum colored eyes.
The older warrior then slowly unsheathed his sword, the sound of the metal scratching against the material inside of the sword case echoing around the area. He then looked into the eyes of the younger swordsman.
"Well, I guess we shouldn't waste any time then, huh? Draw your sword, Hero of the Wind!"
The cat eyed boy did as he was told; he pulled out his blade and got into his battle stance. The other Link got into his battle stance, as well.
Aryll chuckled and pointed out, "It looks like he's dancing, or something."
The two warriors stared at each other, not one of them moving an inch. The wind dramatically blew their hair, making this scene look much more epic. Then within a second, they started to run at each other, both of them screaming their battle cries; the older Link sounded much louder. They soon hopped at each other, their swords clinging together.
They both kept swinging their weapons at each other, the loud sounds of metal striking together resounding all around, along with their loud and thunderous battle cries. They both tried other fighting tactics, such as punching and kicking, but both of them were as sturdy as a rock.
"They sound like raspy girls playing tennis!" screamed the blond girl as she covered up her ears with her hands.
"Go, Link, go!" shouted the young warrior's girlfriend.
The older man then executed his "Illusion Stab Combo" attack, and amazingly the young boy was blocking all of his opponent's stabbing attacks with his sword and not his shield. They both then kicked each other in the face, knocking each other back, but both still on their feet. Without hesitation, the two warriors then ran back at each other, both of them unleashing a barrage of attacks. An hour went by, and this battle was still going on, but it was just about over.
Both of them were panting, faces bloody, tunics torn, eyes bruised, bodies sweaty, and both blades stained red with blood; they could hardly go on anymore. Toon Link wanted to win this, he had to win this! He then felt an abrupt burst of energy as he pulled out his Deku Leaf and blew a huge gust of wind at Link. The man didn't react in time, causing him to be blown in the air and descending back down until he landed flat on his back. The game was over and the match was won! Toon Link was the winner!
"Link, you did it!" screamed a happy Rika, now running towards the wounded conqueror. She soon hugged her hero and said, "Oh, Link, you were amazing out there! I'm so proud of you, Hero of the Wind!" She afterwards kissed him on the cheek; his face sizzling as it turned beet red.
Aryll soon ran over to her older brother and roughly slapped him on the back, making him yelp in pain. "Great job out there, big brother! You weren't too shabby as I thought you'd be!"
The older warrior stood up and walked over towards the three, soon saying, "Congratulations, Toon Link, you have won fair and square! You are truly worthy of the title Hero of the Wind, not that you need me to tell you that."
"Aw, thanks, Link."
"Now, who wants ice-cream?" asked the man with blue earrings.
"We do!" exclaimed the three, all of them looking happy. They all then started to walk away together, now on their way to eat some delicious ice cream; the Blue Moon flavor was always the best!
Okay, that was the last chapter! I know this story wasn't spectacular, but thanks for reading it anyway! Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go find me some Blue Moon ice-cream *Walks away*.
