Ayde stood protectively in front of Zelda, glaring at Ganondorf, who simply laughed. "Do you really think you can stop Me?"
He rushed up to them, a glowing orb of dark energy in his hand and smashed into the wall as they dodged to either side. He turned to Ayde, and ran up to her with a series of attacks, a right hook, left elbow, sparta kick, which she continually dodged. Then she jumped and kicked him in the head before jumping behind him and kicking the back of his knees, bringing him down. She then ran up to deliver the final blow, but just then, he rolled to one side, and, crouched down, he charged up his Warlock Punch. She widened her eyes as she just barely backflip-dodged the punch. It did catch her in the leg, and she stumbled as she landed, visibly hurt.
"You think a little.. urgh, scratch'll stop me? I'll still defeat you!" slowly, she got up and pulled out two long iron chains, smashing the ground before her in attempt to threaten him.
Ganondorf laughed again, "These weapons won't stop me either."
He started to run up to her, but before he took his second step, she wrapped a chain around his ankle and smacked him against the wall, before releasing. "What was that you said?"
He growled darkly and used his dark magic to teleport behind them. Although he couldn't teleport as fast as Shadow could, he still had the basic knowledge. He swiftly sparta-kicked Ayde in the back, and she hit the ground face-first.
"As I was saying..." he turned to Zelda.
"Zelda, Zelda, Zelda. It wasn't enough to simply hold you prisoner as bait to kill the heroes." said Ganondorf in a low, dark voice. "No.. You've driven me to the brink. Time and again, I've held you captive, and every time, you've been saved."
He took a few steps closer to her, causing her to back up against the wall.
"But not this time. This time will be different. I've already locked them all in this castle. They can't escape. And that means you're no longer necessary."
Another step closer.
"I'm sorry it had to end this way. But this."
Another step.
"Is."
Final step, bringing them inches from each other. He fired up a dark orb of energy in his right hand and grabbed Zelda by the throat, lifting her up against the wall to look into her eyes.
"The end."
"Yah!" Ayde wrapped both chains around Ganondorf's neck, yanking him towards her, and away from Zelda. The action, however, gave him enough momentum to use his Warlock Kick, slamming her across the hallway.
"No!" yelled Zelda, running to her side.
"Stay.. back.. I'm here to.. save you.. not the other way around.."
Zelda shook her head, "We're friends, we help each other." She stood up and prepared her magic. "I won't let you scare me anymore"
She glared deep into Ganon's eyes, then conjured a fireball in her hands using Dyn's Fire, tossing them at Ganon, who teleported away. He appeared behind them, but Zelda used her Nayru's Love shield to push him away. Ayde wasn't completely out yet either. She helped by wrapping her chain around his ankle once more, keeping him from teleporting away as Zelda prepared her final assault.
"You were right, this Is the end." She threw two fully charged fireballs into him, slamming him into the wall and knocking him unconscious.
"That won't keep him out for long. We've got to go." said Zelda as she helped Ayde up.
"You're right.. Follow me! Ungh!" she tried to take a step, but was unable to; Ganon's attacks had wounded her right leg.
"Don't move, I can teleport us out of here." Ayde nodded as Zelda used Farore's Wind to teleport them to the entrance of the dungeon.
A few seconds later, an explosion came from the ceiling and out dropped a soldier, followed by two electric mice and an elf.
"Stand back! We're here to rescue you!" called Snake.
A lonely silence replied as they all looked around, finding only an unconscious Ganondorf.
"Well that's just great. Now what do we do?"
Pichu went up to Ganondorf, poking tentatively him a couple times. He laughed and jumped on his back "Pichu! Pichu!"
Snake looked over to him, "Pichu, don't do that, he might wake- Ah!"
Suddenly, Ganondorf's eyes lit up. He roared and got up, charging his Warlock Punch to destroy the yellow little mouse. He widened his eyes, once more frozen in place as he feared his imminent death.
Snake quickly ran up and roll-dodged in front of the punch, taking Pichu out of harm's way and barely escaping.
He looked into Pichu's teary eyes for a second, then yelled "Think fast!" before tossing him over to Link, who fell over as he caught him. Snake quickly hopped over Ganondorf, dropping some C4 on his back, and exclaiming, "Now!"
The explosive device burst and slammed Ganondorf against the wall, as well as producing enough smoke to cover their escape.
"Let's move move move!" he yelled to his group as they ran off down the hallway, leaving a stunned Ganondorf behind.
