Chapter 14
The Fourth Piece
"Sorry, but did you just say hero of Demise?" I asked the woman standing on the water just beside the boat. "Because if you did, he was killed a long, long time ago."
The woman scowled and then she let out a screech that made me cover my ears to block out the awful noise. A wall of water shot up, and blocked our view of her. Then the wall of water fell and she was gone.
"Where did she go?" Dean asked reminding me that he was still on the boat.
"Do you know who she is?" Dad asked him.
"How would I know? She came from your pyramid in your ocean."
"Well you happened to know about everything else, why not her?!" Dad demanded as he sounded agitated.
"I don't know everything, and that woman is on my list of the unknown."
My dad looked just about ready to shoot him when suddenly the boat rocked violently almost causing us to fall over.
I turned to the ship workers. "What the hell was that?"
The older worker came out of shock and went into the cabin. I turned back to Dean. "You said when we first met that our worlds were one and the same. Tell me why they were actually separated."
"I really don't know, in the scriptures it happened right before the fall of Demise the first time before he was sealed. Nothing else was written or said throughout all of my years of living and researching."
"You have to be the worse villain I have ever seen. Besides the Joker, he was just a psychopath that did things because he could."
"Who said I was a villain?"
"When you try to take over two worlds with one stone, kidnap people, and work with Bulblins; you are automatically moved under the villain category." Link told him.
"Yeah, I guess that statement before didn't really change anything-" Dean started to mumble to himself and the boat was hit and it rocked violently, tossing everyone to the ground.
The worker came back out with a paled look on his face. "Some large creature just hit our boat at amazing speeds and then it vanished."
"What do you mean it vanished?!" Uncle Matt shouted at the man as he stood back up. Uncle Fred picked up Dean in a headlock.
I stood back up and felt Link starting to tap me on the shoulder. I looked at him and turned in the direction he was looking which happened to be the side of the boat out of everyone else's view. I covered my mouth with my hands to avoid whatever wanted to come out of my mouth.
"I believe I know why the creature vanished." Link told everyone in an attention grabbing tone of determination.
The thing that hit our boat was in the air. It was a large sea serpent that was a beautiful blue with yellow looking wing like fins. I wasn't exactly sure on how to describe what they really were. All I know was that it was beautiful and then it spoke.
"In Demise's name I shall destroy everything that stands in the way to bring him back to me! This was for locking me up so many years ago, but now it's for him! DIE YOU INFERINATING SOULS!"
The Leviathan charged up a ball of light in her mouth and then shot it towards our boat. Before I even had a chance to move, Link was already up on the edge of the boat with the Master Sword in his hand in a battle position.
"Link, get down from there!" Uncle Fred shouted at him as the crew members were getting a life boat ready.
Three balls of light were released at an alarming speed towards Link. As a ball reached him he swung his sword and it reflected the ball back at an oncoming ball and they exploded as they hit each other. The third one went through the explosion and Link was ready as I watched him hit the ball back at the Leviathan. It hit her in the chest, but all she did was chuckled as if it tickled.
"Really, is that all you can do? Reflect my own attack back at me; did you ever think that maybe since it came from me, I might be immune to it? You are a sad choice of a hero if I ever saw one. Try blocking this, mortal!" She laughed in anger as she started to glow in a powerful aura. The yellow light went inside of her and then a powerful beam shot from her mouth. Link brought up his sword to block it, but the beam looked like it was going to overtake the block. I started to move towards him, but the beam got to him first as he was thrown off the side and headed for the other side of the boat.
"Link!" I shouted.
"I got him!" Uncle Fred, Uncle Matt and Dad all yelled together as they jumped into action and caught him before he flew overboard. The four of them fell to the deck and ran into the side of the boat.
"And this is my queue to leave." Dean said catching my attention and I turned to him just as he disappeared.
"Dammit I thought we had that demon." Uncle Fred growled as he tried to get out of the four man dog pile.
I went over to the group and pulled Link out of it. His eyes were closed and I couldn't tell if he was breathing as he lied on the floor. "Link, come on you have to get up."
The sea monster laughed in delight. "Courage may have been his strength, but in the end it is what killed him."
I shook him and tried hard to ignore the giant fish with a big mouth as I felt tears start to form. "Link, get up!"
"He's not getting up, Hero of Themis." The creature laughed as a tear dropped on his face. "You are as useless to get him up as you are to save yourself from yourself, let alone me. You pathetic creature, born only to bring destruction to not one, but two worlds and it was all caused by you wishing for an escape. Well you got your wish didn't you? A beautiful wish that many wished for different reasons and this led to releasing me to fulfill destiny, your death!"
Something snapped inside of me. I wasn't sure if it was being called useless; being the one to bring total destruction, or the fact that she said he was dead. Either one made me want to shut that serpent up forever. I turned my attention to the creature as I felt my tears leave as my anger rose. "You want to say that again?"
"Which part, the fact that you are as useless now as you were ten thousand years ago?" The creature sneered. "Or the part that you are nothing but a key to destruction? Or was it because I said he was dead?"
"That wasn't a request, but a rhetorical question. And for your information, he's not dead. And I am neither useless or a key to destruction. I don't know what happened ten thousand years ago, but I know for a fact that what I am, if there is such thing as destiny, is the key to a big weapon blow you to fucking pieces for the bottom feeders to eat!"
"Big words from such a small thing."
"I'll show you that even the smallest things hurt like a fucking bitch!" I shouted and pulled out my guns from my hips. I ejected my regular magazines and loaded in my extreme magazines. "Have a nice taste of the modern age as my bullets say hello to you!"
I shot both guns one after another three times. I truly expected her to not move out of the way with what ego I have seen from her. But she did. She moved as she attempted to avoid the bullets. I grinned as she looked back down at me looking ready for an attack. "I should tell you, you can't avoid what you can't see. Especially when they have a tracking device and coming for you at all different directions."
Before she could move, I watched her scream as the six bullets hit her from different areas. "Oh I forgot, they also exploded when inserted into non-human tissue."
The Leviathan looked absolutely furious, or at least from what I could tell from the actions of her body. I couldn't tell the different facial features on a fish. She screeched and a sound wave came across the ocean rocking the boat a bit.
"Oh no, our defenses went down by two" Uncle Matt laughed.
"What are you talking about Matt?" Dad asked.
"It's a Pokémon thing, ignore me."
"Foolish humans!" The Leviathan shouted in rage. "How dare you mock me?! I'm done thinking you as a mere children; if you wish to act as adults then I will give you the death of an adult, long and painful!"
The water below the serpent shot up around her body and started to create a large ball of water around her.
"Get in the life boat now!" Dad ordered and the three crew members didn't need to be asked twice as they flew into the boat already in the water. Uncle Matt and Uncle Fred followed almost as quickly grabbing the giant underwater suit along the way. Dad ran up to me as I dropped my guns and attempted to get Link off the boat.
"Let me grab hi-" Dad started but didn't get to finish as a blast of water came from where she was and threw him over board.
"Dad!"
"Electra stop… stop put me down." Link mumbled next to me.
"What so you can just die here?!"
"So I can battle." He said sounding more awake.
"I don't care if you are some legendary hero; you aren't fighting that thing in your condition. I thought you were dead."
"What else is new?"
"I thought you were dead, that's what's new. I cried because I thought you were gone." I said in an upset and angry tone. He looked dumbfounded as he stood on his own two feet and looked down at me.
"You cried?"
"Yes you kid in green, I cried because I thought a really good and one of my only friends died diverting the attention of some freak of nature." I shout as I felt more tears come. I wanted them to leave but they didn't, sometimes I hated being emotional in sensitive moments of no control.
"Now give her a kiss while I kill the two of you." The Leviathan interrupted with a loud commanding voice. I turned my attention to her and was in shock. The water formed an avatar around her which was four times her size and she looked already five hundred feet long to begin with.
Link moved in front of me and the memory of him doing that when Dean came in the village flashed before my eyes. He didn't look as tough as he did then and looked about ready to fall over. The creature lunged forward towards the boat and Link moved towards her reading him sword, but looked ready to drop it. "Get in the boat Electra."
That's when I figured out what he was doing. And both of us knew that he wasn't planning on coming out of this alive. She screeched and sent powerful sound waves towards the boat and knocked us both to the ground sending the Master Sword out of Link's hand as my head hit the deck.
'I can't let anyone die! They all worked hard, we all worked hard to try and prevent this from occurring. Link most of all. He can't die here or now. I promised Zelda that he would return home safe and sound. Not in a box!' I got up in a daze as I saw the avatar of water within ten seconds of hitting the boat. 'If there needs someone to die to make this thing go away, I won't allow someone who had their dreams torn because of being chosen to be a hero be him, I will gladly take that place!' I grabbed the Master Sword with both of my hands just as the avatar was a meter from the boat. "I won't let you take your justice on innocent people!"
"Electra!" Link shouted as my right hand pulsed.
I gasped as a wall of yellow appeared from the sword and stopped the creature in her tracks and rebounded away. The water avatar broke and rained into the ocean.
"How?!" She yelled in anger.
"If you mess with me, you are going to have a bad day. I don't put away criminals that the average cop would get. I get the mother fuckers that not even high standing drug dealers want to meet. You are just some lizard that has the ability to transforming a woman. But deep down you're just someone's plaything that makes you, a freak of nature that doesn't belong to this world, feel special to do what they want you to do. Nothing more than a dog on a leash."
"You'll regret ever saying that." She threatened in rage and charged towards me.
"I don't make comments unless they are true." I said as she was almost at the boat. "And here's another comment. I have no idea on how to control the power of this sword or this piece of the Triforce and I'm giving it my all. Mater Sword say hello to the Hero of Demise! HOD, meet your death, if not now than in the near future!"
I charged towards the Leviathan, jumped onto the side of the boat just as I stabbed the now glowing blade into her mouth and into her head.
"Pull out the sword!" Link called from somewhere behind me after a moment.
I pulled it out and almost fell into the water as the creature retreated, but two brown gloved hands grabbed my waist and pulled me into the boat. The creature turned back into a woman as she landed on a water spout. I breathed in heavily as I suddenly felt drained and the woman walked onto the boat with blood dripping onto the deck staining it red.
"Go ahead strike me down." The woman grinned.
I started to raise the sword to a more appropriate striking angle, but my knees gave out on me and I fell into the catching arms of Link. The sword dropped in front of my boots.
"Mortals, playing with things you don't understand, or trained for. Like back when the world went around where I had a sister who was getting ready for her initiation to be the Hero of Themis. My twin really, which was strange for back then. Twins didn't really exist then, so when the time came for the initiation, they didn't know which one of us was the chosen hero. But then someone close to me came along a week before. I'm sure you know what happened, he's name was Demise.
"I was taken out of the initiation the next morning, but I knew that my sister wasn't ready for the process. When I told them they ignored my words and sent me on my way like I didn't matter anymore. I ran out and accidently fell in the ocean when I slipped. And that's when I knew I was something more than that of the goddesses. I knew I should have died that morning, but no. I was immortal just by being with Demise I was more than anyone would have anticipated. So since I know that I have probably worn your patience thin with just these few words. I'll tell the rest in short form. Demise found me as I walked out of the ocean, when my sister was granted her hero status; Demise started his take over while I dealt with the city. In the end it was me against my sister, I was more than winning against her and one attack was all that was needed to finish her off. But then something went wrong. The goddesses came together in front of my sister and they shattered the world into two. Separating me from Demise catching me off guard and my sister took advantage of this by sacrificing her piece of the Triforce into creating a seal to keep me for eternity inside a pyramid to feed energy to the city. It was the perfect solution if I do say so myself except, there was one more thing that happened the night that the worlds were separated. When it separated, and just before I was trapped, a half of the forth piece was sent into the world of the Triforce while the other half stayed here the half my sister had."
"So what happened to your half?" Link asked carefully as I finally found my feet again.
"It created a shadow of the Triforce of Justice's closes friend at the time. Someone Hyllia recognized as being her hero when she banished Demise on the other side. Dare to take a stab at whom that person might be?"
"That's not possible; there is no history of that ever occurring." I answered her.
"Why not, the goddess reincarnated a human host, why not reincarnate Themis's hero's closest friend?"
I gritted my teeth in frustration. I wasn't sure at what her point was. "So what?"
"A Shadow is what I was to my sister, and after I fell into the ocean I knew I was the exact opposite of her. So if you have a shadow and its living form keeps on repeating life over and over again… what do you think happens?"
My eyes widened. "It becomes stronger."
"Nothing like the games of just pure coincidence, no this Shadow has been waiting for a long time to final live." The woman said and grinned even wider as she placed her hands above her head. "Justice, Courage, meet Injustice or should I say, the Shadow of the Hero of Farore and Hyllia's Hero, Dark Link."
Link grabbed the Master Sword of the ground and went to attack, but a wall of water appeared blocking our path. Then a sharp pain ran through my hand. I grabbed it, but the pain continued like something was cutting into the top part of my hand. I looked up and tried to see what was happening on the other side of the wall, but it was burry with a harsh glow to it. I let my other hand go and noticed that my black glove was turning a different color. Before I even had a chance to remove my glove, Link removed it instead. Blood streaked itself across my hand as the shape of the recognizable Triforce embedded itself in my hand. A line that cut into my skin was almost done the outside triangle when the wall of water suddenly came down with a scream from the crazy woman. I looked up to see her on the ground and my Dad with a blood stained ore from the life boat in his hands.
"No way that I'm allowing some a monstrosity to come to life." He growled and turned towards Link and I. "Sorry it took so long, I had to climb the side of the boat."
I started to run to him when my hand pulsed again stopping me in my tracks as I gasped getting really tired of the sudden sharp pains. The shape finished on my hand with the center upside down triangle and the outline of the large triangle filled in with the red liquid.
"The initiation is complete, but just because you stopped me in the middle of the chant doesn't mean that stopped him from being summoned. He will come and when you least expect him to show his presence." The woman laughed darkly and then she disappeared as her voice echoed. "If you wish to find me when you are truly ready to die, I'll be by Demise's side."
I felt light headed. "What the hell was that about?"
"She's not here in this world anymore." Link said looking into the sky.
"How do you know that?" Uncle Fred asked as I saw him help the three crew members on board with my other uncle.
"Because Demise's grave isn't in this realm, it's in mine, somewhere" Link said and he turned to me. "Are you alright?"
I slightly nodded, but stopped as my head started to spin. Link grabbed me by my shoulders. I stared down at my hand as I held it with the other. The word initiation ran through my head over and over again. I don't know why everything was starting to take a toll on me, maybe it was shock. I didn't know the answer as my mind was clouded from everything but the liquid on my hand that was once inside of it. I felt emotionless as everything around me blurred out of my sight other than my hand. Then my thoughts collected themselves. 'We shouldn't have come here. We shouldn't have looked into anything. I should have listened to my instincts about this. I knew there was something down there and I didn't listen to myself. If the world goes to hell then it's my fault. It's my fault that she's out. My fault that a Dark Link will appear and more than likely kill Link. I placed everyone in danger over what? For something that was buried along with Atlantis. It's my fault for everything that will happen and has happened.'
"Electra, I know what you're thinking. This was not your fault. We knew that there might have been something that would go unexpected. This is just what happens when people like Dean come around and start things they shouldn't touch. If anything this is his mess that he created."
"But we could have avoided it; we could have ignored what he was after and just got rid of him. This is my fault that we are in this mess. It was my idea to look into it and look where it got the world. It gave two realms a serious problem with more than one villain that I doubt any military weapon would be able to kill in this world. I should have been eaten by that skulltula and then maybe you at least would have had only Dean to deal with and not Dean, the Leviathan and the doppelganger."
"Why would you say that?"
"Because if I wasn't around then that thing wouldn't have come out of that pyramid, my ancestor wouldn't be out there bringing back Demise the original Ganondorf that your Goddess locked away for your past life to get rid of it!" I shouted in frustration. "When we go to Hyrule whenever that portal system is ready, I'm going alone to deal with her before she brings Demise back. That way if Dark Link decides to show his face you will be ready to kick his ass."
"You aren't going to travel alone across Hyrule to find the grave of something that probably doesn't even have bones anymore." Link stated firmly.
"Even if you are a little out of shape in the battle against him, he will kill you. He is everything that you were, you are and you will be and you need to be prepared for that." I argued looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Then I definitely going, the only way I can get better is if I travel."
"But then you are only powering up him!"
"Then I guess I'll just have to be better than myself to beat myself."
"Oh for the love of god, go find a room and release whatever tension you two have. We'll wait for you to finish and if it gets noisy then we'll go for a swim so we don't hear you." Uncle Matt interrupted.
Dad and Link turned to him and I attempted too, but my head just spun again partially falling over. Link caught me just as my dad pushed Uncle Matt off the boat.
"You ever say something like that without it being in a reasonable spot like during a wedding and towards my daughter, something like this paddle will be coming across your head!" Dad shouted down the side of the boat at the water.
"You're such a daddy it's not even funny." My uncle called up.
"And what if I said that to one of your girls?"
"Shut up."
I smirked and then I passed out.
Don looked away from his brother in law towards Electra just as she passed out. He ran over to her, but Link already picked her up. He looked at him wondering how he was still standing after his attack let alone carrying his daughter like she was a feather, which Don knew damn well when she was suited up wasn't the lightest thing he carried. He was about to ask to take her when he noticed Electra's hand. "What happened?"
"That was the initiation process." Link answered without much emotion. "Mine was just a birthmark, but this one since it wasn't part of your family for a long time so it had to be carved in again. I'm surprise she was even standing let alone awake this long after she touched that pyramid. I was down after a few seconds when my Triforce activated. She's really something."
"She's something alright." Don sighed as he led Link below deck. "If she keeps on placing everything on her shoulders and carries it by herself; she's going to be killed."
Link sat down on the couch like he didn't have the physical strength to place her down. Don took note and grabbed the first aid kit which happened to be a really large bucket that seemed to match that of a coffin. He shook his head of the dreadful thought and found the required items he wanted. He went back over to Link and found that he had prompted up Electra in a way he would be comfortable and was fast asleep. If it was somebody else that had done that, Don would have thrown the guy across the room like taking the table cloth from underneath a set table without disturbing his little one. But Link wasn't somebody else, he had continuous protected his daughter over the last few days. They hadn't told Electra about the few incidences that had occurred while she was in school. None of them made the news, which he was grateful for, but they were far from little things. It was pure luck that they weren't reported.
He sighed as he started to clean his daughter's hand off with a wet cloth. When Don was done he started to do the medical treatment of it. As he was fixing it up, the week flashed by with each monster that appeared just as Electra had disappeared like it had a goal to kill either Link or himself. Neither one of them was sure of who the monsters were after. It seemed to change every day or so, he just hoped after what they did today, the random attacks would stop. He sighed and looked at the two teenagers in front of him. He smiled at them. Even though he had a bad feeling about their new scenario, he knew that they would eventually leave home base to do ground work. And he had to deal with whatever creatures that decided to show up at his door step. He was in this gig as much as those two were and as an Ends and a police officer, it was his job to protect home base, Earth. He was just thankful that he had friends in high places that had friends in higher places to help do that job. Suddenly the horn of the ship bellowed and Fred walked down the stairs.
"Where are coming up to the main land in about ten minutes and – oh my god that is just priceless." Fred said as he snapped a photo before Don could even do anything. "Nice face; that is going in the photo album."
"You bastard," Don mumbled. "Get back up stairs and you better hope that I don't throw you over the boat as well."
"Chill Don, I was just joking around… well … not really but anyway. I suggest you get them up soon if you can. If you can't, howler and I'll help you care one of them. Matthew can get the suit."
"You are so devious." Don sneered in amusement.
"How else can I make you be amused when your being a bit of a downer."
"Watching Ridiculousness works wonderfully."
"That is does." Fred grinned and went top side again.
I woke up in my room with the light, a dark orange color, coming from my window. I went to rub my eyes when I noticed there was a wrap around my hand. And then everything that happened came back to me. I groaned in annoyance as I smashed my pillow on my face. The pulse in my hand matched the one in my head. Apparently, my hand and brain both had hearts and they wanted to be recognized. I sighed as I looked at my hand again. I didn't want to know what was under the bandage. I thought my day was all just another nightmare to my collection of nightmares, but it was real. I glared at the invisible symbol that I knew was there. Rolling my eyes, I sat up and noticed the sun was setting and there was some noise coming from downstairs.
I looked away from the door when my hand pulsed harder and was followed by my head creating a large headache. "Fine, fuck you too." I grumbled as I started to unwrapped the bandage. When I was done I threw the bandage on the desk and instantly the headache and the pulsing left. I looked down at my hand and saw the Triforce on my hand. The three outside triangles where the same as Link's, dark brown while the center one had a Celtic knot filling in the empty space. I wasn't particular sure on why it was there since Celtic knots are usually Christian artwork adapted from the Romans, but I didn't mind it. I got out of bed and realized I was in in my bathing suit. I took a deep breath and shook my head as I walked over to my dresser. Just as I opened one of my drawers I noticed that my armor was nicely set on top of the dresser. I turned to my desk and saw my guns and magazine belt set neatly on it. I smiled slightly as I grabbed some clothes. I knew we weren't heading out tonight and I had a really good feeling Dean was not going to show up for a while. I started to get dress into some pants when I saw the dress Uli and Pergie gave me on the back of the closet door. I walked up to it and took it down.
"You know what, I still think it's my birthday, I'll wear something nice." I laughed to myself and put it on. I walked into the hallway and down the steps. I hit the landing and the lights went out and there was no light coming through the windows. I tried to use my ears for where the noisy bunch had gone, but there wasn't any. "Really, I don't believe we are having a power outage."
There was no answer so I continued my adventure into the kitchen. I stepped through the kitchen and the lights all came back on.
"Surprise!" A bunch of people shouted behind me. I turned around and saw the entire area behind me decorated. The people who shouted where all lined up. There was my Aunt Amy and my Uncle Matt, Uncle Fred and Aunt Caroline, Dad and Link. "Happy eighteenth birthday!"
I stared blankly at them. "You guys are nuts, I hope you are aware of that."
Aunt Caroline came up to me and gave me a big hug. "Of course we do, now I was going to say get into something nice because we are leaving, but it looks like I don't have to."
"Why would you say that?" I asked in confusion.
"Because after we celebrate a bit here, we're going for a little trip to our neighboring province for some fun." She answered happily.
"I've had enough fun for one day, trust me."
"Not that kind of fun, I'm talking about the fun that takes fun days like today and gets rid of them for a few hours."
I didn't understand what she was talking about. "What?"
"We are going to get you drunk in Québec." Uncle Fred stated. "I swear I didn't think we'd have to spell it out for you."
"Wait you guys are…" My eyes widen and then I put my head down in annoyance. "I guess it's better than getting drunk in Vegas."
Any this is the chapter. Hope you liked it and stuff…
