Chapter 21: Link vs. Fairy Queen!

Link continued to run forward, only to be pushed back by the large fairy. The large fairy grew a sword out of magic and flew forward to stab, only to be interrupted by Ossa. Ossa shot at the fairy, hitting her in the arm. The fairy dropped the sword, making it disappear, and Link took the opportunity to attack.

He jumped forward, fist cocked back. He shot it forward quickly, slamming straight into her stomach. She merely disappeared herself, and soon reappeared behind Link. She formed a ball of energy around her hand and punched Link straight in the back, sending him straight into the ground, leaving a crater.

Ossa, meanwhile, ran forward and attempted to shoot the baby fairy. "These horrible things don't deserve to live!" He thought to himself. "They almost killed the crew!" He shot a bullet, but it soon was caught in midair and shot back at him. It went through his chest, but merely passed through since he was a skeleton. The fairy looked at him angrily, and formed another sword.

Link quickly hopped up, however, and kicked her in the side of her body. She didn't have time to dodge, and she was slammed straight against a wall. However, she guarded her body with a magic sphere, blocking out some of the damage. She was still wounded, though.

Forming another ball of energy, she shot it at Ossa, who was smashed straight in the chest and sent flying against the wall, and proceeded to fall into pieces. She mistook this as a kill, and so she turned all of her attention onto Link. Link ran forward, sword drawn this time, and attempted to stab her. Mid jump, however, she caught him with her powers and engulfed his body with an electric-like magic. His body writhed in agony, and he fell to the floor, grasping at his entire body.

"Why…" He gasped. "Why couldn't I defend against that?"

"Magic is the weakness of most gauntlet users…if used correctly." She said, grabbing his body again and throwing him against a wall. He couldn't defend again, and so he fell to the ground, body writhing with uncontrollable pain. He had clearly reached his normal human limits, and he needed his gauntlet to save him.

He lay on the ground, staring at the fairy as she floated over to him. She formed a ball and held it above her head, making it larger. She grinned happily as she shot the ball straight at Link. When the ball disappeared, it showed no trace of a body.

Link had managed to gather enough strength from his gauntlet and dodged the attack quickly, and he now lay in the middle of the room. He was still in agony, though, and he continued to lie there.

"You annoying kid!" She shouted. Link stood up, sword still in hand, and proceeded to throw it at her. It stabbed her straight in the abdomen, but she didn't stop. She flew toward Link and trapped him with her magic. She proceeded to electrocute him for a few minutes, but finally stopped. Link was close to death since his heart had nearly exploded from all the electric impulses.

She proceeded to rip the sword out of her stomach and throw it in the corner. In order to heal herself, she had to drain life from someone. And who better than the one who tried to kill better? She put her hand on Link's head and soon began to suck the life out of him.

Link's life energy slowly left his mouth in the form of a blue mist. It flew into the fairy's body, healing the wound left by the sword. Dropping Link from her grasp, he fell to the ground. Dead.

Ossa reformed as he witnessed Link's death. Ossa's jaw dropped, literally. After picking it up and reattaching it to his body, he grabbed his gun and ran up to the fairy, aiming and shooting immediately. The fairy merely pushed the bullet away and grabbed Ossa. She put him in a magic hold and this time engulfed his body in flames. "AGHHH! Sto-stop it!" Ossa shouted in pure agony and horror.

"You shouldn't have messed with my island, filthy pirates!" She replied. As Ossa's bones turned black, and almost began to crumble, the fire was suddenly let up. Ossa fell to the ground, clothes completely gone and bones scorched. He looked up to find the fairy blocking herself with a light shield. The shield was transparent, showing who was on the other side.

"Navi?" Ossa asked, still in pain from the fire.

"Are you okay?" She asked. In her hand was her staff, and around it was a light aura. She looked over at Link's lifeless and electrocuted body. "Link!"

"You!" The fairy shrieked. "How did you get your staff back?" Thanks to all the dreams collected from the crew, this fairy seemed very well informed on all of them and how they fought. "You didn't have it with you earlier!"

"I have a magic hold over my staff. I can summon it from wherever. I learned how to do it at the Forsaken Fortress." She explained, mainly to Ossa, who was also curious. "That doesn't matter. What have you done to Link?"

"Oh, you mean the captain?" The fairy laughed. "For a boy wanting to become the ruler of the seas, he sure was weak."

"Shut up!" Navi shouted. "He's the strongest man I know! He defeated the strongest man in the Great Sea and saved my fairy island and even defeated another magic dude named Sivmer!"

The fairy grew tense then, and she shuddered. "He…he defeated Sivmer?"

"Yes!" Navi screamed. "Killed him too!"

"He was a descendent of this tribe but ran away years ago with a map!" The fairy shouted. "He was so powerful…but this little kid defeated him?"

"Yeah!" Navi shouted. She swung her staff back and attempted to attack the fairy. The fairy just made another shield, but Navi's magic was so strong that it broke through the shield and smashed the fairy across the face, sending her flying backward and into a wall. "And now, I'm going to defeat you!"
