Souldin:
Isn't 11 a strange number?
Game2002: Yeah, you can say that, but I like to break the mold and stay away from clichéd even numbers such as 8, 10, 12 etc. for once.

bunkhead: You messed up Kalle Demos big time because he is supposed to be a very easy boss.
Game2002: If the fight was too easy, then it would last very short, so I had to toughen him up in order to lengthen the fight more

bunkhead: Remilia is a bit too nice.
Game2002: I admit that I made her that way on purpose. If she is her normal self, then she can easily wreck havoc to all her opponents and not get along with other people as easily, so I had to come up with a way to make her hold back her powers. Don't worry; she will eventually become more and more like the way you want her to be as the story progresses, so stick around until then!

Over one hundred reviews at last! It looks like this story is doing really successful! I'm so happy that many people are enjoying and supporting this story, so I will try my best not to disappoint anyone!

I would appreciate it if you read all the contents in each chapter, even the author's comments at the end of the chapters so that you do not skip certain things. I'm saying this because there are some people who have the tendency to stop reading at the 'TO BE CONTINUED' message and may miss out the trivia and such. Plus, I would like to avoid putting bolded notes in the middle of the stories from now on as this sort of interruption is distracting to some people. It was originally done to inform readers of certain important things. Thank you for your cooperation!

God bless you all!

Chapter 20
Dual Blades Crossing


Youmu turned to Zelda and Aya and said to them, "Tetra! Um… You're Tetra, right?"

Zelda nodded and replied, "This is my true form, Princess Zelda, but you can still call me Tetra if you want to."

"Anyway, Princess Zelda, please take Aya to somewhere safe and stay away from here! I'll deal with Ganondorf myself!"

"How about you?"

"Don't worry about me! Just go and keep yourself safe and also tend to Aya's wound if you can! Hurry!"

"All right, but please be careful yourself!" Zelda then held up Aya by her shoulder and quickly ran towards Ganondorf's living quarters.

"You're not getting away from here!" Ganondorf said as he ran after Zelda and Aya.

"You're not going after them!" Youmu said. She quickly rushed in front of Ganondorf and swung both her swords at him, but the villain leaped back to avoid getting hit.

"Tsk! I'll deal with you first then!" Ganondorf growled in frustration. "It's not like they can escape from this place anyway."

BGM: Ganondorf Battle (Zelda: The Wind Waker)

"En guard!" Youmu shouted as she jumped at Ganondorf and brought down both her swords at once. Ganondorf raised his swords to block the blow and when Youmu landed him front of him, she swung her swords at him rapidly, but Ganondorf held up his swords defensively to block them all.

Youmu swung left to right over and over to try to land a hit onto the villain's body, and then she pulled both her swords to her right and delivered a powerful horizontal swipe with them. "Hai!"

Ganondorf easily blocked them by holding his swords to his sides. He then raised his right sword and brought it downwards to slash Youmu's right shoulder, but she leaped off to the left fast and then tried to slash him in the waist. Ganondorf managed to block it with his other sword and then he quickly turned towards her and swung each of his swords horizontally outwards in opposite directions, but Youmu leaped back in time to avoid getting hit.

After landing, Youmu raised her arm underneath Myon and said, "Strange Half-Body!" Myon glowed with a pinkish-purple light and fired a rapid burst of bullets at Ganondorf. The villain quickly leaped backwards but Myon aimed the bullets in his direction and managed to hit Ganondorf in the chest while he was still in the air.

The Gerudo villain grunted as he fell to his knees, and then he surged dark electrical energy into his right blade before slashing the air to shoot out a dark crescent blade. "Dark Cutter!" Myon quickly moved out of the way to avoid getting hit by it.

Youmu then ran at Ganondorf and swung both her swords at him, and he quickly brought up his swords and so they both clashed and locked blades together. As they tried to push down each other, Youmu asked, "I thought you are invincible to everything except for the Master Sword. Why are you still dodging and countering my attacks?"

"Just because I am invincible does not mean I abuse it," Ganondorf replied. "At times when the Master Sword is used against me, I will have to do the dodging myself. That way, my fighting and dodging skills will never fall! Such is the way for one to become stronger and not always rely on his cheap abilities!"

"That's how a true warrior should be," Youmu said. "The only thing you are wrong about is not taking the way of the blade down the right path!"

"I don't care whether or not I am taking the right path. I am content as long I am taking the path that leads me to power!"

"Then I really do feel pity for a power-hungry fool like you."

"Tsk! I do not need a little girl like you to lecture me!"

"Remember this! I am over sixty years old!" Youmu shouted. "Hiya!" She exerted a large amount of strength and managed to overcome Ganondorf, pushing him back a few steps.

"Whoa!" Ganondorf almost lost his balance and fell back for a second and this gave Youmu the chance to slash him across the body. "Ugh!"

"Take this!" Youmu shouted as she continued to slash Ganondorf multiple times across the body, pushing him backwards with each hit. "Crescent Moon Slash!" And then she performed a jumping slash with both swords, knocking Ganondorf back into the air.

SLASH!

The Gerudo spun back through the air but he used one hand to push against the floor and then flipped himself back upright. "Not bad!" Ganondorf commented. "I'm not sure if you are bluffing just now about being over sixty years old, but you sure have skills that are on par with the Hero of Wind!"

"You mean Link?"

"While he is not a descendant of the previous hero who defeated me, he has without doubt inherited his skills. The Triforce of Courage sure knows how to choose its holder, don't you think?"

"Sorry, but I do not know the history of your world that much, and I don't have time to care about it either!"

"Right, there is no time for you to care about history lessons since you are in danger of dying currently. Come, let us enjoy this fight!" Ganondorf then rushed forward as Youmu got into defensive stance, and then the Gerudo thrust his right fist forward with his sword held sideways. "Gerudo Dragon!"

The gerudo delivered an uppercut that was powered by dark flames and struck Youmu's swords which were crossed in front of her defensively, and the uppercut sent both her swords flying into the air much to her surprise. "What?"

Ganondorf then thrust his right leg forward and kicked her forcefully in the stomach. "Oof!"

Youmu flew back and landed on her rear roughly, and then her two swords fell down and stabbed into the floor on both sides of her, just a few millimeters in front of her middle fingers.

"Die!" Ganondorf shouted as he jumped at her with both his swords raised over his head.

Quickly, Youmu pulled her swords out of the floor and held them up in a cross formation and managed to block the blow from Ganondorf.

CLASH!

Ganondorf managed to suppress her to the floor for a while, and then he pulled back and lifted his right leg 180 degrees into the air. Seeing this, Youmu quickly got up and jumped out of the way before Ganondorf unleashed the volcanic stomp. "Volcano Kick!"

BANG!

After landing from her jump, Youmu turned to face Ganondorf and then slashed in a cross formation to shoot out two large crescent-shaped sword beams that were stacked behind each other to resemble an 'x'. "Lotus Stance Cut!"

Seeing the incoming projectile, Ganondorf countered with a similar move, but it consisted of only one crescent-shaped sword beam that was purple in color. "Dark Cutter!"

Both projectiles collided in midair and exploded, cancelling out each other.

"Phosphorus Slash!" Youmu swung her swords in a circular motion and shot out four pink rings that traveled across the air in a curvy path.

Ganondorf leaped over the incoming projectile with ease and when he was in the air above Youmu, dark flames appeared around his right leg as he performed a diving kick at her. "Wizard's Foot!"

Youmu backed off from the attack and Ganondorf's foot hit the floor instead. Youmu then crouched down slightly and sheathed both her swords, but she still kept one hand holding onto one sword. "Human Sign: Slash of Present!" she said. She unsheathed her sword slightly and before Ganondorf could tell what was going on, Youmu was behind him with her sword unsheathed and held to the side. When she sheathed her sword again, Ganondorf let out a scream as he had been cut in the body without noticing it.

SLAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"GUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ganondorf screamed as he fell to his knees.

Youmu stood up and turned to look at him with a surprised face. "It worked?"

Unknown to her, a smirk appeared on Ganondorf's face and he suddenly spun around and slashed the air to shoot out a dark crescent wave. "Dark Cutter!" And Youmu was struck in the body.

SLASH!

"Ugh!" Youmu cried as she fell back but managed to retain her footing and said, "How dare you?"

Ganondorf laughed and said, "Hahaha! Did you really think that hurt me just now? Blame your own stupidity for thinking so!"

Youmu held one hand over the wound on her body and thought to herself, "Looks like there really is no way to hurt him asides from using the Master Sword…" She shifted her eyes to the side and noticed the Master Sword lying on the floor. "There it is!" And she quickly ran to pick it up.

"Oh, so you've decided to act smart and use that sword against me!" Ganondorf commented. "Good thinking, but don't think I will let you get your hands on it so easily! Dark Cutter!" He shot a dark wave at Youmu from behind but Youmu jumped up to avoid it and then landed behind the Master Sword.

"Got it!" Youmu thought as she turned around to pick up the Master Sword, but before she had to the chance to do so, Ganondorf fired a second dark wave which struck her in the chest. "ACK!"

Ganondorf then rushed up to her and caught by the face and surged dark flames into her. "Flame Choke!"

Youmu cried in pain as an explosion of dark flames engulfed and burned her face. Ganondorf then spun slammed her face first onto the floor very hard a couple of times before spinning around and hurling her across the place, and Youmu hit the floor and tumbled forward roughly a couple of times before coming to a stop.

As Youmu sat up and wiped the bits of blood off her face while groaning painfully, Ganondorf approached her and said, "I applaud you for being able to hold up against me this long, but this ends here!" He then brought up his right sword over his head. "Any last words?"

Youmu simply grinned and said, "Don't look behind you."

"Uh?" Ganondorf was a bit curious at what she said, but before he could ponder what it was about, a blade came out from the middle of his chest. "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The blade was pulled back out and Ganondorf quickly held one hand over the wound inflicted on his chest and spun around to see his attacker, and he was surprised to see another Youmu standing there with the Master Sword in her hand. "What the?" He looked behind him and was even more surprised that see that the previous Youmu was still there. "What is this madness?"

Youmu got up and hopped back saying, "I bet you must be very surprised! I can change my phantom half into a replica of myself! As long as my phantom half has the Master Sword, I can fight on equal terms with you!"

"Tsk! Don't get too cocky just because you have the Master Sword!" Ganondorf growled angrily. "I am not going to be defeated by someone like you so easily!"

"We'll see about that!" Youmu said before charging at him. "Prepare yourself!"

Ganondorf readied his swords to attack her but Youmu and Myon both leaped into the air all of a sudden and as they jumped past each other, Youmu exchanged one of her swords with Myon's Master Sword. Ganondorf was unable to see clearly what they did just now and panicked as he looked in both directions to see who had the Master Sword. Myon charged at him from the left and Ganondorf quickly blocked her attack with his swords, but saw that she didn't have the Master Sword. "Not this one!" he gasped, but before he could react, he was slashed across the back by Youmu using the Master Sword.

SLASH!

"Ugh!" Ganondorf grunted in pain and then angrily spun around to swing one sword at her horizontally, but she did a back flip to escape.

Youmu charged at Ganondorf again and he quickly blocked her incoming attack. As they locked swords with each other, Myon charged in from behind and slashed the villain in the back multiple times, but the hits did not hurt Ganondorf at all, though he still found it annoying. "Argh! Pests!" Ganondorf shouted, and then he landed an unexpected kick into Youmu's abdomen before kicking backwards to hit Myon in the abdomen as well.

"OOF!" Youmu felt like she was kicked twice in the stomach.

"Die!" Ganondorf shouted as he ran up to her and brought down both swords, and Youmu quickly crossed her swords together to block them. While they were locking swords, Myon ran to Ganondorf from behind to attack him, but Ganondorf suddenly spun around and slashed her across the body.

SLASH!

"Ack!" Youmu cried in pain as a slash mark suddenly appeared across her body.

"Huh?" Ganondorf became curious upon seeing this. He looked at Myon to see that she was wounded in the body, but Youmu had also received the same wound in the exact same spot. "Hmmm… Dark Cutter!" He suddenly shot out a dark wave from his sword and attacked Myon. Youmu also cried in pain and another wound appeared on her body. Finally, Ganondorf understood what was going on and said, "I see! So whatever that clone of yours experiences, you will also experience it! It doesn't seem to be a useful ability after all, eh?"

Youmu slowly stood back up trying to endure her wounds and said," So can say that… But I consider this weakness of mines to be something I have to overcome and become stronger as a result."

"If that is the case, I shall help you overcome your weakness! See if you can survive the harsh training I am going to give you!" Ganondorf said before running at Myon at to attack her.

Myon quickly held up her swords and blocked each of the hits Ganondorf gave her. As they were clashing swords with each other, Youmu ran towards Ganondorf from behind to attack him, but the villain spun around and used one sword to block a swipe from the Master Sword while using the other sword to block Myon's swords. Ganondorf then spun in a full circle and somehow pushed the both of them backwards and then he charged at Youmu and swung one sword horizontally.

Youmu bent her body backwards and the sword went over her face instead. Ganondorf then brought up one sword over her and swung it down, but she hopped off the side in the nick of time and then attempted to strike him in the waist, but Ganondorf quickly blocked it.

Youmu then hopped back and threw the Master Sword into the air over Ganondorf. At the same time, Myon threw one of the swords into the air in what appears to be an attempt to exchange swords. At least that was what Ganondorf thought and so he quickly turned his attention to Myon.

However, both the swords hit each other in midair and bounced back to their owners. Youmu caught the Master Sword again and then leaped into the air over Ganondorf and the blade glowed with orange light as she brought it down on him. "Slashing a Flower Upon One's Head!"

"What the?" Ganondorf gasped. He barely had time to block or move out of the attack's way, and thus received a slash across his body.

SLAAAAAAAASH!

"GUUUUAGH!" Ganondorf cried in pain while taking several steps back.

After landing, Youmu rushed at him and dashed past him, slashing him across the waist.

SLAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Ganondorf cried in pain once again as he fell back onto the floor, lying flat on his back.

"Phew…" Youmu let out a sigh and turned to look at the fallen Ganondorf. "I did it…" She turned to look at Myon who slowly reverted to her original phantom form and then she flew over to Youmu and hovered over her head.

She then turned to look at Ganondorf and slowly moved closer to him. Suddenly, the Gerudo got up in a moment's notice and swung one of his swords at her legs. "What?" Youmu gasped as she quickly hopped back, but she still suffered from a bit of a cut on her right leg. "You're still alive?"

"You're not going to defeat me so easily!" Ganondorf growled while breathing heavily. "It's just a light wound and I'm not going to get defeated because of this! I have to applaud you however. You surely have the skills of the Hero of Wind!"

"Thanks for the compliment!" Youmu said, holding up both her sword and the Master Sword defensively. "Now I'm going to put an end to this!"

"The only person who is meeting her end here is you!" Ganondorf shouted angrily.

BGM: Ganondorf Swordfight (Zelda: Twilight Princess)

The Gerudo's shout of anger was fittingly accompanied by a flash of lightning that was followed a few seconds later by the sound of thunder. He charged his right fist with dark electrical energy before raising it into the air and then punched the floor really hard. "Dark Tremor!"

Upon punching the floor, a shockwave came out from around him and spread across the floor, blowing away the pillars completely as well. Youmu could've jumped up to avoid the shockwave, but the tremor created by the punching of the floor made her lost her balance and she was hit by the shockwave and got electrocuted by it badly. "YAAAAAAAAA!"

"Wizard's Foot!" Ganondorf shouted as he leaped forward to perform a flying kick that was enhanced by dark flames. The kick landed into Youmu and sent her flying back through the air.

KICK!

While she was still in the air, Ganondorf hurled both his swords high into the air before jumping at her and then caught her by her shoulders and started electrocuting her with dark energy. "Dark Dive!"

BZAAAAAAAAAAAP!

Youmu screamed in pain as the electricity ran throughout her body, and then it was followed by a dark explosion that propelled her backwards. Ganondord also flew backwards and he caught both his swords as they fell back down before landing onto the floor.

Just as Youmu was falling back onto the floor, Ganondorf slashed the air twice to release two dark waves. "Dark Cutter!" And they both struck her before she touched the floor.

"Ugh!" Youmu fell onto the floor afterwards with several wounds on her body, but despite this, she struggled to stand back up and gripped her swords tightly in her hands.

"You have good stamina," Ganondorf commented. "But this is as far as you go! Prepare to die!" He ran towards Youmu and swung both his swords at her, and she quickly used her swords to block them.

Youmu tried her best to overcome the locking of blades, but her wounds were hindering her and keeping her from winning. "Ugh… I must not… lose…" she thought to herself.

While they were still locking blades with each other, Ganondorf suddenly threw his right sword away and then charged his right fist with dark energy. He overcame the blade locking using only one sword and pushed Youmu back a step, and before she had the chance to do anything else, Ganondorf slammed the back of his fist into her chest INCREDIBLY hard. "Warlock Punch!"

SMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

"GYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Youmu screamed in sheer pain while coughing a large amount of blood as she shot back and off of the tower, soaring across the air a few yards before starting to descend towards the sea.

As she fell closer and closer to the sea, several thoughts ran through her mind. "Did I lose the fight…? If so, then I will never be able to see Mistress Yuyuko again… and she will be lonely without me… I haven't even found my teacher yet… Ever since he disappeared one day without teaching me everything about the way of the sword, I trained by myself to become stronger… But this is the result… of my trainings…? No… If I fall now… there won't be anymore opportunities for me to strengthen myself… I must not… fall here!"

Meanwhile, Ganondorf was laughing at the edge of the tower for he believed that he had defeated his opponent. "Hahahahahaha! Now you know how powerless you are before me! Anyone who opposed me will die!" Suddenly, he noticed something flying back towards the tower. "Hmm?" Upon closer inspection, he found out that the 'something' is in fact Youmu flying at him. "What the?"

"I'm not done yet!" Youmu shouted as she soared towards the tower as fast as she could. "Now that I have regained my flight abilities, I can go all out on you!"

"What the heck?" Ganondorf said in surprise. He quickly held up his swords and blocked a swipe of the Master Sword from Youmu. "Flight abilities, eh? You remind me of the time when I was able to fly thanks to the Triforce of Power, but that was a long time ago. During all these years, I have lost such a convenient ability."

"Too bad for you," Youmu said. "It is common for the inhabitants of Gensokyo to be able to fly!" Youmu pulled back and then flew over Ganondorf and landed back onto the tower, but suddenly felt the wounds on her body acting up again. "Ugh!"

"It looks like your wounds are still hindering you," Ganondorf said. "After all, Warlock Punch is the most powerful move that I came up with during the Smash Brothers Tournament!"

Hearing this, Youmu said, "That's right! I remember Tetra bringing up your name and saying that you were in the tournament, but Link said that it was a different person."

"Yes," Ganondorf replied with a nod. "They say there have been three tournaments held so far, but I only participated in the second tournament. However, I heard sayings about an alternate timeline of myself joining the third one as well as the Hero of Wind. Hearing this made me wish that I was at least an audience in the third tournament just to see how that alternate timeline of me fared against that boy!"

"To think that Master Hand would invite someone like you to the tournament…"

"Of course, it's only natural that he would invite me! I am a powerful warrior after all, and he wants powerful warriors such as me to make the tournament more exciting. My only complaint that I have is that I was forced to play with the rules in order to prevent fatalities. Wouldn't a tournament with fatalities have been more fun?"

"Do you only think of destroying things and hurting others? I really cannot tolerate a person like you any longer! I'm going to strike you down!"

Ganondorf held up one sword and said, "Very well. I'm going to make sure that I strike you down as well!"

"I won't let this hinder me!" Youmu said as she tried her best to stand back up. "Not until I defeat you!"

She ran towards Ganondorf as fast as she could and the villain attacked her with Dark Cutter, but she leaped up into the air and slashed in a cross formation to shoot out an x-shaped sword beam. "Lotus Stance Cut!"

Ganondorf eliminated the sword beam by slashing against it and then jumped at Youmu to attack her, but she flew higher into the air to escape getting hit. When Ganondorf landed, he stabbed both his swords into the floor and then held his arms over his head to create a ball of energy. "Dark Rain!" The ball of energy exploded into smaller balls of energy, all of which flew towards Youmu at a fast speed.

Seeing the large amount of projectiles approaching, she crossed her swords in front of herself and the blade glowed with blue light and formed a diamond-shaped reflector around it. "Netherworld Reflection Slash!"

The projectiles that struck her from of the front bounced back to Ganondorf, but the ones that came in from other directions managed to hit her body. "Yaa!"

Ganondorf quickly swung his swords at the returning energy balls and managed to send them all back to Youmu. Youmu managed to recover in time and then moved aside to avoid the energy balls, but they turned around to come after her again. Youmu dived at Ganondorf and clashed blades with him, but then she moved out of the way a few seconds later and Ganondorf saw the energy balls flying back to him. "Oh no!" He didn't have time to do anything and was hit by his own energy balls, getting electrocuted by them. "Guuuuah!"

"Looks like you can be damaged by your own attacks," Youmu thought.

"Why you?" Ganondorf growled angrily as he turned to face her and then attacked with Dark Cutter.

Youmu quickly set up another reflector and reflected the attack, and Ganondorf failed to avoid it and was struck by his own attack once again. "Guuuah!"

Youmu dived at him again and swung her swords at him rapidly, and Ganondorf also fought back with an equal intensity. During the midst of the sword clashing, Ganondorf thrust his right sword forward but Youmu ducked underneath it and then quickly jumped over him and slashed him in the head with the Master Sword.

SLASH!

"Gyaaaah!" Ganondorf cried in pain when he was hit, and when he turned around to face Youmu, she was in the air with the Master Sword held over her head.

"Rise from Delusion Slash!" she shouted. Instantly, bright blue aura appeared around the blade, thus making it look longer and larger, and then she brought down the Master Sword onto Ganondorf who desperately tried to block it with his swords.

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

Not only was Ganondorf slashed badly by the sword, but he was also caught in an explosion of blue flames that was created from the slashing. The Gerudo screamed in agony as he was engulfed by the flames which burned him severely, especially the gash. "GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

When the explosion finally dissipated, Ganondorf was seen badly charred from head to toe. Youmu panted heavily and wiped some sweat off her neck. "Did I do it…?"

"Guh… Gah… Impossible…" Ganondorf mumbled. "How can… I… lose…?" And then he fell on knees before falling forward falling face first onto the floor.

Seeing that Ganondorf was finally down, Youmu sat down out of exhaustion and also due the wounds on her body. "At last… I did it… I win…"

"Youmu!" shouted the voice of Zelda. Youmu turned around to see her running out from Ganondorf's living quarters. "Youmu! Are you all right?"

"I'm fine… These wounds aren't anything life-threatening," Youmu told her. "Where's Aya?"

"She's resting in there," Zelda replied, pointing to the living quarters. "She'll recover just fine."

"That's good to hear!"

Zelda looked at the fallen Ganondorf and said, "Wow… You managed to defeat Ganondorf! I was worried for a moment when he punched you off the tower…"

"Yeah, I have to admit that did hurt…"

Suddenly, something came out from the hole on the wooden part of the floor and both the girls turned around to see what came out and saw that it was Reimu hovering in the air and she was carrying Link on her back. "Reimu! Link! You're both all right!" Youmu said happily.

Reimu landed and Link got off from her back and ran up to Zelda saying, "Zelda, are you all right?"

Zelda nodded and replied, "Yes, I'm all right. Youmu defeated Ganondorf!"

Link turned to look at the fallen body of Ganondorf and said, "Wow! Amazing! You used the Master Sword, didn't you?"

"Yes I did," Youmu said as she returned the Master Sword to him. "It really is the only thing capable of hurting him, though I did find it strange that he can be hurt by his own projectiles, or at least get stunned by them." Suddenly, her wounds acted up again and she fell to her knees in pain. "Ugh!"

"Youmu! Are you all right?" Zelda said in concern while placing her hands onto her left shoulder.

"Okay, I admit… That punch really did do a big number on me…" Youmu cried. "It feels like my ribcage is broken…"

"If you mean Warlock Punch, then I can understand how you feel," Link said. "The alternate timeline Ganondorf also used the same move in the Smash Brothers Tournament. Trust me, getting hit by that HURTS like heck! But thanks goodness for the altered physics and reality in that tournament, otherwise I would've died after taking it right into my face…"

"I'm sure Reisen's medicines should be able to do something about this," Reimu said. "C'mon, let's go back to the others now that you have defeated Ganondorf."

Suddenly, they heard grunting noises and so turned around to see Ganondorf breathing heavily while slowly pushing himself back up. "What? He's still alive?" Youmu gasped.

Link got in front of the girls and held up the Master Sword and his shield defensively. "This guy really doesn't want to stay dead, does he? Stand back, everyone! I'll deal with him myself this time!"

Ganondorf slowly stood back up, but because of the severe wound that Youmu inflicted on him earlier, he had a hard time doing so and limped forward a bit. "It's… It's not over… It's not over… yet…" he growled angrily. He then brought up the back of his right hand to show them the Triforce of Power which was glowing brightly. "It's not over yet! Witness the power of the Triforce of Power! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

Immediately, bright light appeared from all over his body and the Link and the others were forced to hold their hands over their eyes as not to get blinded. "What's happening to him?" Youmu gasped.


TO BE CONTINUED

I'm sure you what to expect in the next chapter.

Exam period has started, so updates may probably come out slower than usual. On the bright side, summer vacation is on after my exams are finished, so I get a lot of free time to update! This is assuming I don't slack off or get too busy with other things, such as playing video games.

Next chapter: Power, Wisdom, and Courage

Trivia:
1. As you can tell after reading this chapter, this Ganondorf is not the same one from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Because of the split timeline created by Ocarina of Time, the TP Ganondorf got imprisoned before he could get the Triforce and then everything led up to Twilight Princess from there, but WW Ganondorf is the one that got sealed away in the Dark Realm after the final battle of OOT but eventually broke out again, leading to the events of TWW. Considering that SSBM Ganondorf is based off his OOT model, he follows the continuity up to TWW while SSBB Ganondorf follows the TP continuity. Same person, but different timeline; at least that is how my story goes… And as for his fighting style being similar to his SSBB counterpart... I can do whatever I want with him, okay?
