Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE LEGEND OF ZELDA!


Chapter 14

I scaled down that path as fast as I could. There were tons of Bokoblins and Moblins, but since they are not all that strong it is easy to cut through them. Once I got into the protective circle that Ghirahim signed and continued to sway his hands over Zelda's glowing body.

"You're far too quick,boy! I have realized a simple child like you knows nothing of magic, but spells like this take time and a steady hand! Can't you wait quietly like a good boy?! You querulous brat... You've pushed me too far. I've waited my whole existence for this! This is my moment!"

Ghirahim angrily shot Zelda up into the sky where she was out of reach. I readied my sword, by the look on his face and his temper I can tell Ghirahim wants to fight.

"If your so intent on hurrying to your grave, I will be happy to show you the way."

I looked up to Zelda and she seemed to be in pain. Ghirahim is going to pay for doing this to Zelda, I'll make sure of it!

"This time there will be no heroic escape. I was a fool to toy with you and let you walk away with your life before, but I won't make that mistake again."

Orange diamond shaped particles started to circle Ghirahim, but the particles then tuned to black and engulfed his body. A platform made of orange diamond shapes. The black diamond dissapeared and Ghirahim emerged with a body that is blackish-brown and white stripes. Ghirahim started to grab his head out of frustration.

"I should have put you in your place from the very beginning. Show a human a little mercy and next thing you know he thinks of you as his equal. I let you run away with your life, twice! But instead of a Scurrying away like any creature with an instinct to survive, you just keep coming back. Again...and again...and again. I've let a mere boy make a fool of me for the last time. You stand before a demon... Or should I saw a weapon without mercy!"

Ghirahim flickered for a second from his body to that of a giant black sword. I gasped at his form, he must be the weapon that demise will use.

"For you, boy. I've prepared a most appropriate and humiliating death. I even have a pet name for it-I call it the 'endless plunge.' First, I will take my time bludgeoning you, and when I grow bored of it, I will drive you to the edge and deliver my last strike to send you falling to your doom!"

As Ghirahim started to walk towards me, I readied my sword and got into a fighting position. I was the first to strike. I swung at Ghirahim and when he lost his balance I swung again until he was to the edge, and I pushed him off with my sword. Once he fell he landed on another platform. I jumped of and landed while thrusting my sword into Ghirahim's weak spot, the diamond on his chest.

I repeated this attack until we were on solid ground again. Ghirahim slowly stood up while holding his chest in pain. He then summoned his sword and threw many attacks. At first I was able to dodge all of them with my shield, but a couple got through and cut my skin causing blood to run. After this I threw a horizontal strike and Ghirahim stumbled back in rage.

"YOU WRETCHED BRAT!"

Ghirahim summoned a much larger and heavier sword. Whenever I tried to hit at him the sword would act as a sheild but whenever I hit it it got damaged. I quickly hit Ghirahim's sword so he couldn't fix it and once it broke I sawing at him.

He stumbled back in shock and held his chest in pain.

"This...This is outrageous. Driven to my knees by a simple child of man. It's laughable. No matter how many times we clash I can't prevail. You think I can't defeat you?! You think I can't win?! Boy...what are you?"

Ghirahim started to laugh hysterically.

"Ah..but never mind that. Victory is still mine to savor. While I fought the ritual I had started continued...At last, it's complete! The demon king shall devoir the soul of the goddess and be ressurected to his full glory."

The ground started to spew black smoke and demise started to rise. Zelda started to thrash around from pain and her body started to glow. Demise then opened his mouth and a ball of light shot into his mouth. There was an explosion of black smoke and once it dissapeared a man that was about four times the size of me was standing. His body was covered with back scaled and his hair was like orange flames. Ghirahim bowed and then stood up.

"Welcome back, Master"

Demise trusted his hand out and a sword started to emerge from Ghirahim's chest. Once the sword was free it instantly swung to Demise's hand. Then Ghirahim turned into a ball of light and was absorbed by the sword. Demise then turned to me.

"You must be the Goddesse's chosen hero, interesting. I honestly don't know why she would even bother to give up her immortality for a ball of human flesh. Her immortal form was much more fascinating than this one."

Demise swung his sword up and a gust of wind caused Zelda to start falling. I started to run but before I could get there Groose caught Zelda in time.

"Link! Be careful, oh and Granny wanted me to tell you that Zeldas soul has not been completely devoured by this..thing, you still have time to save her."

Demise started to chuckle "humans are very weak, but for some reason I'm the face of fear you and your companion do not hesitate at all. You are not like most humans I have come to know who cower in fear at the sight of me. Now, if you still wish to fight me meet me at my special place where there will be no interruptions."

Demise trusted his sword up and streaks of black smoke filled the sky then Demise vanished in a puff of black and purple smoke. A portal opened in the ground of the seal. Fi suddenly appeared from my sword.

"Master, I have gathered some information. Once you enter this portal there will be a 0% chance of you returning unless you defeat your foe. Do you wish to continue?"

"Yes"

"And good luck, Master"

"Thank you, Fi"

I slowly walked into the portal and it consumed me in a blur of black and purple.
