A/N: I forgot to mention on Chapter 23, I meant to say Chapter 23, but it says 24, and also, I don't own the songs on them. I gave them credit for whose they really were, but I'm not sure if it's the same thing to some people. Also I don't own Yu Gi Oh! GX or Zelda, anyone with a brain knows that I don't, otherwise I would say so…moving on! The last chapter of this story! I'm excited, I don't know about you guys!
Chapter 25: Majora's Wrath PT 3
It was getting close to the end, Majora still had the smug look on his face, watching Zelda struggle with her End Phase. Finally, after she got to her feet once again, she pulled a card from her hand and pushed it under a slot on her duel disk.
"I play one card facedown, and end my turn." Zelda tiredly stated.
"This old bit again?" Majora laughed at her commonness, "You really aren't giving up this fight, are you? Hehe…Guess you'll go down the hard way, eh?" He coaxed drawing a card.
"No, I don't think so. The only one going down is you." She replied calmly.
My facedown is Hylian Reaper, Zelda thought looking at her facedown, If he plans on doing what I think he's doing, summon Majora, I have to use this to take one of the Masked beasts from his graveyard, that way he can't summon Majora, I can sneak in and attack, winning the duel. But he has to attack me directly first. That'll trigger the trap, and I'll bring Odolwa to my side, and then he won't be able to summon him…he won't summon him…Link, I'm so close.
"Alright, hehe…I believe this duel is very close to ending." Majora laughed.
"You think? ...Well so do I, thanks for the confidence boost." Zelda smirked.
Majora stopped laughing and had a look of interest and curiosity. What did she mean exactly? It's the facedown, Majora figured.
With a smile back on Link's face, "Hmm…I play the field spell Twinmold's Sand Chamber, and with it, I summon the Great Twinmold himself, and you know his chamber doubles their attack points, right?" (4200)
"Man, are Hylians naturally power hungry?" Jaden asked.
"Majora's not Hylian, Jaden." Zane replied annoyed.
"Yeah, but it is a Hylian Deck, right?" Jaden asked.
"We already were told the story, Jaden! They were real, and their spirits were locked up in cards by the Creator, which in a previous life was Link so he's being used as the vessel." Zane explained.
"Right…ok. Well why did these guys come here? Zelda and Link I mean." Jaden asked.
"…" This was actually a question that hadn't been answered yet. Zelda or Link never said WHY they were here. So…why were they here? Surely it wasn't for Zane, Zelda had no idea he was here, and it's illegal for Hylians to leave Hyrule to see a Human just for social reasons….
"I don't know," Zane finally said.
"Attack her Goron!" Majora yelled.
Ugh! He knew! Because of Twinmold's Sand Chamber, Trap cards now don't work on Masked Beasts! Any of them…how could he know what I had? Now it's even closer, I could loose any minute!
Zelda's life points roughly went down from 4000 to 800. She tried not to scream out in pain again, instead only clenched her teeth and stood her ground so she didn't fly backwards. When the attack was over with, Zelda held her abdomen tightly with one hand and tried breathing normally. Her hair was falling out of its usual pulled back ponytail sort of thing. It curled to her shoulders, and it covered her sad eyes.
"Next, I de-summon Twinmold's Chamber, so Twinmold is sent to the grave." Majora studied Link's nails as the event happened.
"Oh, no…" Zane mumbled.
Majora looked at Zelda who was looking almost ready to go down. She looked torn. She was bruised, beat, and red from the little cuts that covered her. Her clothes were ripped, and in her eyes, a sense of forlornness and hopelessness lingered. She looked…homeless.
"Well, you sure are getting a gamine look out of this whole thing, aren't you?" Majora smiled at her appearance.
"What is it Zane?" Jaden saw the disturbed look on his face. It was similar to when Zane and Zelda came face to face for the first time in DA.
"Too bad for you, I can't do much now, so I'll summon this quick-like, as my normal summon from my hand: Fierce Deity in ATK!" (2800)
"Hey! That card…" Jaden interjected.
"Why didn't he do it…?" Zane wondered aloud.
"Do what?"
"Summon him…"
Here it comes! Now I'll play Hylian Reaper! As soon as…
"Go Fierce Deity, attack her!" Majora pointed.
He held the pose and watched as Fierce Deity…did nothing. He stood there, and stared straight at Zelda. What…what was going on?
C'mon, Deity, attack me, you'll help me win! Zelda thought to Fierce Deity thinking he would be able to hear her.
"What are you doing?" Majora screamed, "Attack her!"
It was still Link's voice, and it looked horrible how the face that he made with the scream to Zelda. Fierce Deity still stayed still.
"What are you doing?" Zelda asked him.
Fierce Deity then slowly turned, with his twisted sword in hand, and lifted it above his head and looked at Majora in Link's body. He must know…because then, Fierce Deity slashed his sword down at Majora.
"AHHH!" In pain and anger, Majora yelled the rest of his 1000 Life Points traveling to zero.
"Did Zelda win?" Jaden asked surprised.
"No, it's not over…" Zane mumbled.
"I don't loose! This duel isn't over yet!" Majora yelled as Fierce Deity slowly walked his way over to Zelda's side of the field. He switched to defense mode, and crossed his arms on his knees, defending Zelda!
"He only fights for good, nice try, Majora." Zelda panted, still exhausted.
"This duel isn't done; my points are still at 1000!" Majora fiercely yelled.
"Not like it'll do you much good," Zelda smiled looking at Fierce Deity.
"Ya know, for something that looks so…evil and demonic," Jaden starting, looking at Fierce Deity, "It's a little surprising to see it betray something that is evil."
"…Kind of…" Zane closed his eyes.
He knew how this would end. Zelda will leave victorious. There's no doubt. Fierce Deity was created for the very battle he and Jaden were watching. As the thought of the future bright again, he slightly smiled.
"I play one facedown and end the turn."
So much for that other plan. I guess I don't need Hylian Reaper anymore… Zelda thought as she drew a card.
"I sacrifice my facedown so I can summon to the field Entewya!" (1000) "With Entewya on my field, I can give her power to Fierce Deity in ATK!" Zelda explained as she whispered for him to get up.
Fierce Deity got on his feet, and with 3800 points, he was told to attack Majora directly, so he dashed to Majora who held a straight face. Zelda couldn't remember why.
"Come forth Goht." Majora said.
"Huh? That totally slipped my mind!" Zelda panicked as Fierce Deity attacked Goht and left him angry.
He came back to Zelda with a growling face.
"Now this game is close to being over!" Majora laughed again, "We're halfway there!"
Okay Entewya, sing your song for me, Zelda thought as Majora continued saying words that she cared nothing for, Reach out to Link for me!
"I send Entewya away!" Zelda exclaimed, interrupting Majora's monologue.
"Away?" He repeated, "What does that mean?"
"When Entewya was alive at the beginning of the world, Nayru bestowed her powers on her. She reached the good that lay inside everyone. If there was a heart covered in darkness, Entewya was the one to show it light. So if my brother is as you say he is, this ought to change his mind, and if not, I can talk to him." Zelda explained.
"What? But that means you'll have to-"
"Rip your bond with him, I know. Go Entewya!" Zelda commanded.
"That's…Zelda," Zane mumbled. Jaden of course didn't understand his mumbling.
"What do you mean?" OF course it was Zelda. He knew this for a while now…
"I get it…I can see," Zane said opening his eyes, "Zelda is her."
"I'm not following you. You couldn't see before? Who is her?"
"She is Entewya; it all makes sense."
"Sense? You mean that kind that doesn't?" Jaden asked before looking at Zelda at the field again.
Now, he understood, "Zelda…she is that Zora?" Jaden asked puzzled.
Zane nodded and closed his eyes again, "That's why she doesn't hate Humans like other Hylians."
"Hmm…You're friends are right, that does make sense. You hold her spirit." Majora mumbled.
"Yes, but now I am Hylian, and you have my brother! Hylians don't take it too lightly when you take things that belong to them!" Zelda exclaimed as she pointed at Majora.
Entewya went inside of Majora's head, which was also Link's head, he made no noise, he looked blank, and she gracefully walked around a dark place.
It was dead and just plain awful. She saw a figure lying on his back. As she came closer and closer, she noticed it was Link, and he was crying. About…?
He looks emotionless, and paralyzed, "I need her…Zelda please help me," his voice echoed.
He didn't really talk, this is what he thought, and Zelda could hear it. Throughout Majora's chamber, Link's voice echoed mono-toned.
"Link!" Zelda exclaimed.
Link couldn't hear her, but she could hear him, and now she knows what she has to do.
"No! Shut up!" Majora's voice cried.
"Please, Tzoei Le'Dam…help me." Link's voice murmured again.
"Well, I'll be…Hang in there buddy." Jaden said softly.
"I will Ori Le'Dam." Zelda smiled, a tear sliding down her face as well.
"I love you…" Was the last thing from Link that echoed across the chamber.
"Ugh! Quit it!" Majora screamed, holding Link's head, "Stop! I can't take the feelings!"
"Can't take being Hylian?" Zelda teased.
Zelda got a serious face and commanded Entewya to come forth. She said she loved him as well, and watched as Majora in Link then struggled to get Entewya out. Sad thing was, she was out already when he began screaming at her and pulled on his body.
"Now," Majora calmed down, "It's near the end, and you'll be gone very soon…"
"Here it comes," Zelda mumbled so softly, only she heard herself, "Go Majora."
'Okay, Fierce Deity, get ready for the fight of our lives. These last battles all depend on you.' Zelda thought hopefully looking at the back of the huge Fierce Deity. When she got a close look at him, it reminded her of Link. He had his face, his hairdo, and he resembled the strength and courage that lay inside Link.
"Hehe…" he didn't even to bother to take his standby phase, "I remove Twinmold and Odolwa from play, completing the circle!" Majora used Link's hand to gesture at the neon blue completed circle above his head.
He let out an evil laugh and got a crazy look in his eye. The circle rotated on an imaginary axis to show its flat sides. As it got smaller and smaller, and then disappeared, Majora's Mask began to take shape. It at first seemed dead like when Zelda first entered the chamber, but then it started glowing its menacing glow. The orange eyes stared straight into Fierce Deity, Zelda and Entewya.
"Now the real battle begins…" Zane mumbled.
"Ultimate Being, Majora's Mask forged of the darkness from me, attack Entewya!" Link's voice commanded evilly.
The smirk he wore didn't help either.
"Fierce Endo, defend us!" Zelda pointed.
"Wait…can she do that?" Jaden asked.
"How many times is someone here going to explain HYLIAN DUEL to you?" Zane asked annoyed, "Really Jaden, everything in the Hylian world is different than here!"
"Like dueling…?" Jaden mumbled. It wasn't meant for Zane to hear, but he did anyway.
"Like everything!" Zane replied.
"Yeah, yeah, I get it…" Jaden shooed him watching the epic duel closely.
"Then stop asking stupid questions! If that question or a question like that comes to mind, think about what everyone has told you. It is called Hylian Dueling! Different than Human Dueling." Zane explained simply.
"Alright Fierce Deity, win the battle!" Zelda yelled as the two monsters collided in battle.
Soon enough, Majora's Mask was defeated and Fierce Deity came back to the side of the field. In a strange turn of events, Majora lost no Life Points.
"Haha! No big deal! Now that's gone, I can summon Majora's Incarnation!" Majora summoned a figure with Majora's Mask's face, but with a real body…sort of. Legs and arms came out of the spikes, and a head showed at the top of the shape.
"He's too fast," Zelda examined as Majora's Incarnate was running around the fields rapidly, "Be careful Fierce Deity."
"He can't attack this turn," Majora disappointed explained, "So I have to end my turn."
"I summon to the field, replacing Entewya, Nayru, Goddess of Law! And with her, I play the Triforce of Wisdom." She wasn't sure what Majora was planning exactly, if the facedown was a trap that made her take damage even when she wasn't supposed to, 'It's a safe bet that's what he is planning…' she thought.
"Now with the price of half of my Life Points, I can't take any damage for three turns." 'That should be plenty of time to take him down.' "Now Fierce Deity, take Majora's Incarnate down!"
"Hn…" Majora smirked, "Good luck! From my graveyard, I equip Majora's Mask to Majora's Incarnation."
"What? Can you do that? Nowhere in the books does it say-?"
"This is an ability, girl, books wouldn't say this." Majora told her as Majora's Incarnate and the Deity went into action, "And besides, this is my arena!"
As the two monsters fought, Jaden asked another question, "Zane, what's going on? How does this work? They've been attacking and attacking, but no one has lost any life points…"
Zane ignored the fact that Jaden can't get the one sentence through his thick head and replied, "There is a Hylian against a Demon with other-worldly power, Jaden. Anything can happen."
"Right…"
"Haha!" Majora laughed in triumph, "Your Fierce Deity traitor is gone! And quit your whining!" Majora suddenly yelled to himself.
'Link…' Zelda realized.
"Not for long, I play a facedown and end my turn."
"Attack Nayru, Majora!"
Surprisingly, Zelda didn't do anything to prevent this. She had a facedown, and didn't use Nayru's immortality ability. What was she planning?
"Now that she's gone, the Triforce—huh?" Majora looked dumbfounded, "Why is the Triforce still here?"
He's angry! That means his facedown is one to take her life points! It all makes logical sense!
"It's already been activated, Majora." Zelda said as if she was talking to a little boy that couldn't speak yet.
"Fine with me, I play this: My facedown!"
"What?" Zelda replied shocked.
"Forgot did you?" Majora smiled.
Zelda didn't want to say that she thought it was something to do with life points, so she just went with it, "That's exactly what happened. I forgot, silly me."
"Liar…That never was one of your talents." Zelda became sheepish at this, and Majora crossed his arms.
"Lying isn't a talent, I was just embarrassed…" Zelda hid her face in her hands.
"Uh-huh…anyway!" Majora uncrossed his arms and revealed his facedown, "Now these Majora forces are separated, and they can each attack you!"
"No!" Zelda shouted.
"Yeah! That's it, you go Zel!" Jaden cheered getting a sneer from Link…or Majora.
"Wait for it…" Zane whispered.
"I play my facedown, Call of the Haunted!" She announced.
"…A human card?" Majora used Link's bored to tears look and rolled his eyes.
"My human card," Zane smiled.
"So I summon Fierce Deity again, and…" she waited for Fierce Deity to return to her side, "Attack the Mask!"
Fierce Deity easily sliced through Majora's Mask, and Majora himself in Link gave off his so familiar evil smirk.
"So, he got rid of the Mask, what about the Incarnate? Hehe…go!" Majora commanded.
"AH!" Zelda covered her eyes. As soon as she looked out again, she saw no monsters on the field, "It's a tie!"
"Yes, now it is time…" Majora smiled.
"How does someone win the duel if this keeps going on?" Jaden asked.
"I summon up Majora's WRATH!" Majora yelled in his own voice.
A dark light shone through, and out came yet another Majora's Mask looking being, with the face as a body, and its own head, and the arms and legs in the same places, just…buffer.
It let out a more so feminine scream and pulled whips out of the sides. It then stood there. Zelda then noticed Link's body, bowing to the mighty creature. There were things scarier than Majora's Wrath, and Fierce Deity was one of those creatures…Zelda won't even mention the King of Darkness.
"To win Jaden," Zane began, "Zelda or Majora's field has to be empty, and a monster has to attack them directly. Next turn, Zelda's Triforce wears off, so she'd better think fast."
"But wait…doesn't that mean that Majora wins?" Jaden asked.
"Not yet, he can't attack, and if he could, Zelda's Triforce…so it doesn't matter." Zane explained, finally sitting up.
"OK…good to know." Jaden mumbled, helping Zane up.
"I end the turn." Majora said sadly.
"My go! This is it, Majora, I guarantee it!" Zelda yelled across the fields, "I summon Din, Goddess of Power, and with her, The Triforce of Power as well!"
Zelda smiled already in triumph, knowing there was no way for him to get out.
"Now I add all the power from my Graveyard to Din," Zelda explained, "Now, end Majora once and for all from this world, attack Majora's Wrath!"
"No! This can't happen! Because of her immortality-"
"You see where this is going right?" Zelda smirked at the horrified face Majora made Link show.
With all the power in Zelda's graveyard, which was the effect of the Triforce, there was no way Majora's Wrath could stand up to the grand God's might. Now with him gone, it was only Din, and Majora in Link.
"Now, all the power goes away, and She can attack you. Go Din!"
"This is the winning blow…" Zane said.
He slowly walked his way to Zelda, who tried planting her feet in the ground so she wouldn't fly backwards from all the wind that blew. She almost was lifted off her feet, but Zane caught her and dragged her down. He held her close, and kneeled to the ground, where less wind blew, and the two leaned into each other's embrace, like a rock, resisting even the strongest wind. Jaden leaned against a wall, and looked away from the light that shone.
The blinding white light that was all too familiar. It consumed the chamber, and outside, the rest of the gang saw the entire moon ignite a white light and it swallowed the entire thing whole.
Syrus, Alexis, Atticus, Bastion, and Chancellor Sheppard stood at the Chancellor's office window watching the whole thing.
"Is it over?" Bastion asked when it was absolute silence.
The earth stopped shaking, and the moon exploded, creating a rainbow across the sky of Academy Island.
"Jaden was in there!" Alexis panicked.
"So was Zane!" Syrus joined
"And Zelda…" Atticus looked saddened.
"Does this mean that they're…?" Alexis asked.
"No! Don't say that!" Syrus yelled.
He turned quickly and with tears in his eyes, ran to the doors and began to make his way out of the building. Everyone followed him, including Chancellor Sheppard.
Outside, where the vortex was, when Zane and Zelda, Jaden and Alexis all went up in the moon, they were all there! Zane and Zelda held on to each other still in the embrace they'd been in before, and Jaden was sort of off to the side.
"Look there!" Bastion pointed a further distance.
It looked…like rubble. It was dirty, and it looked like it had a Ra yellow jacket on. It was Link, and they were all unconscious.
"Link…" Chancellor Sheppard realized.
"That's Link?" Syrus squinted.
It was hard to tell because of his awful appearance. They all soon realized Jaden woke up. He stood up slowly.
"Jay! Are you okay?" Syrus came closer to him.
"I'm fine…"
"Where are the rest of the guys?" Alexis asked.
Atticus stared almost broken-hearted at the two before him. Zelda and Zane holding each other like that, and how close they were! Their faces were too close…but, can he really be jealous? He was told the story about Zelda and Zane. In Hyrule, they were together…
'I guess that's how it has to be. Best for everyone, right?' Atticus thought solemnly.
"The guys, they…um…" Jaden wondered that too, "Zane or Zelda would know. He's pretty smart, ya know."
"Yeah, he's my bro; still…I got the looks." Syrus used that old line again.
Giving everyone a slight laugh. Jaden leaned and crouched over to Zane and Zelda, shaking them a little, hoping to wake them up, "Hey guys…"
As soon as they opened their eyes, they saw each other. They saw nothing else, not even paying attention to anything but each other's eyes.
"Where are we?" Zane asked.
"You're a Duel Academy!" Chancellor's booming voice echoed in their ears.
They both looked up, and Zelda looked around rapidly, making sure she wasn't crazy. She sat up still in Zane's embrace, and the two stood up. Zelda was the first to look back at Zane and smile brightly.
"Wow, that must have been some duel." Bastion said analyzing Zelda's cuts, her messy hair, and remembering Link.
"Zelda, where are the rest of the guys?" Alexis asked.
"They'll be back. We can find them in the exact places they were taken." Zane replied for her.
"Good!" Chancellor Sheppard clapped his hands together and smiled.
Zelda noticed Atticus, he looked sad, and Zelda knew why. She's led him on, and now she was found with Zane, which she still was in his arms. He smiled reassuring he was okay with it.
"Um, Zelda…" Jaden pointed behind them, there laid Link.
"Link!" Zelda ran out of Zane's arms to take Link in hers, "Link, are you okay? Oh, dear Ori…Ne Ori Le'Dam…" Zelda cried.
He let out small moans, and opened his regular blue eyes, then noticing Zelda's blurry image focusing harder and harder, he smiled at her. One of his real smiles.
"Tzoei…" he mumbled.
Link looked around and finally saw light and a bunch of Humans staring at him…or them, "Did we win?" his voice cracked.
Zelda laughed a little and replied, "Yes, we have won."
And so, Zelda took her baby brother in her arms, and carried him into the duel academy to be cleaned up and pushed back to health. The entire gang reunited. Hassleberry and Chazz were found, and so were Andrew and Audre. Audre went back home ashamed of everything, and Andrew and his brother reunited. Zane and Zelda shared a kiss, one in front of everyone. It wasn't intentional; it was just exactly what happened. Jaden told the whole duel from the very first detail to the end, and Bastion had finally built the inter-dimensional traveling machine. Zelda and Link had to part ways with their human friends and go home.
They all stand at the mouth of the machine, and they all shared their love with each other. Zelda hugged everyone. Link smiled and also, with a little force, gave quick hugs. The two saved Zane Truesdale for last.
"Do you have to go?" Zane asked Zelda.
Link wanted to say, "Well, no, Truesdale, what do you think?" but decided not to.
"I have to. Hyrule is home. I'll come back one day, I promise." Zelda replied.
Zane wanted to say it…he hesitated, especially considering all their friends were watching. The two stared for not very long, before Zelda backed down and let Link go next.
"…" He sighed, "Truesdale…"
"Hylia…" He replied.
"Thank you." Link said, "For everything, you hold my respect," he bowed at Zane.
This action surprised everyone. Especially Zane. Zelda was impressed.
"But," Link returned to his evil look, "hurt my sister ever, and you'll suffer. SUFFER!" Link then smiled a real smile, and turned back with Zelda.
"Good-bye everyone. Arrivederci!" Zelda waved.
"What is Arrivederci?"Jaden waved, whispering to Alexis.
"I don't know." She replied waving as well.
Everyone waved and said bye. Bastion fired up the machine, and just before closing the door, Zelda ran out toward Zane and kissed him one last time before being able to see him for a while.
"I love you," She told him.
He replied back the same thing, "I love you."
She ran back into the capsule, and Bastion closed the doors. A bigger light shone, and as soon as the smoke called, the Hylians were gone, and the Humans were back to their regular lives at Duel Academy.
"Come back, someday…''
