Link and Midna marched into Bella's room.
"No! Wait! Please, just give me a minute!" A voice shrieked from the other side of the room. Link and Midna looked at eachother and shrugged, continuing into the room.
"Hey! I told you to wait!" Screamed Bella, staring at her reflection in the mirror and frantically applying mascara. "This is going to be my starring moment, destroying the specks who dare challenge my darling Edward, and I've got to look my best! Just because you take no pride in your appearance and haven't bothered to make an effort, doesn't mean I should do the same!" Link looked down. His tunic was ripped and bloodied, his hair was matted and a layer of dirt coated every visible piece of skin.
"Ah, you have a point... mind if I borrow that hairbrush?" He asked.
Once Bella and Link had finished making themselves look good, Bella walked over and sat in an ornate throne, whilst Link returned to Midna's side.
"You quite done yet?" She asked sarcastically.
"Well I wouldn't be over here if I wasn't!" Link replied.
"Took you a while. Several HOURS in fact!"
"It didn't take that long!"
"Yes it did. Don't worry though, you look fabulous!"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Link growled.
"AHEM," said Bella. Midna and Link started, both having forgotten she was there.
"Bella." Midna said, floating in front of Link. "Thanks for your help getting here, we wouldn't have made it without that curse you put on Link! I bet your precious Edward isn't gonna be happy with you."
"Edward loves me!" Snarled Bella. "And he will be happy with me. Very happy, once I destroy you!"
"Do you actually have a mind of your own, or do you just blindly do everything he tells you to?" asked Link.
"I do everything he commands, but I have a mind of my own! I can think for myself! If you only realised how much I love him you'd understand!"
"So... you're basically his willing slave."
"No! He granted me these powers! I was alone... the only girl in my class without a boyfriend... and then he came..." Bella continued talking and Link yawned and stretched.
"Have you ever read Twilight, Midna?" He asked.
"No, fortunately."
"Well she's basically reciting it right now," Link said. Midna went quiet for a second and listened to Bella's monologue.
"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him- and I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
"Oh god," Midna muttered, "that's awful."
"We may as well sit down," Link said. "This goes on for four books." Midna stared at him, horrified.
Luckily Bella decided to only recite the whole of Twilight, and leave the other books to the pair's imagination.
"Edward granted me these great powers," she finished. "I will do whatever he wants."
"So basically you loved him for some reason, some evil vampires tried to kill you, you sat there screaming while your friends risked their lives to destroy them, and that's it?" Midna said. "And you needed four books to describe that?"
"No! That's only the first book! In the second book..."
"Never mind!" Link yelled. "We don't have time for this Bella, I thought you wanted to destroy us? Or are you trying to bore us to death?" Bella glared at him.
"I just thought you'd like some background information. Anyway, Edward made me a vampire and we had a child, Renesmee, and then our fandoms collided. We were thrown into the Twilight realm of Legend of Zelda. It was a nice place, but too shiny. The shiny power disagreed with us, so we got rid of it and then little Midna here decided she had a problem with us making everything sparkly. So I defeated her and Edward crowned me Princess of the Twilight realm. Then Edward decided he wanted the whole of Hyrule for himself, and of course I intend to help him achieve his goal. And that's my extremely abridged life story."
"Extremely abridged," Midna snorted quietly. "Well I hate to burst your bubble Bella, but this ends here!" Bella raised her arms and began glittering. The room around them faded to black.
"You ready?" Midna asked Link quietly. Link drew his sword and nodded.
Link looked around. They were no longer in Bella's throne room. Instead, they were standing in a room with a resemblance to the room he had fought Jasper in. Bella floated above a lake of purple, steaming liquid.
"Die!" She snarled, and fired several balls of sparkle power at Link. Link barely raised his shield in time to block them and although the sparkles dissipated when they hit his shield, they hit with enough force to push him backwards. When Bella stopped firing, he whipped out his bow and arrow and shot at the vampire. She dodged the arrows with blinding speed. He shot again, and she returned fire with sparkling balls that vaporised his arrows in midair. He leapt out of the way only to be hit full on by one of the glittering missiles.
"Her sparkle power is so strong," he gasped as pain flooded his body. He leapt to his feet and raised his shield, defending himself against the onslaught. He stuffed his sword in its sheath with his other hand.
"What are you doing?" Hissed Midna. He ignored her and pulled out his boomerang, hidden behind the cover of his shield. Bella stopped her attack with the sparkles and dashed to another position. The second she stopped, Link guessed where she was going to move and hurled his boomerang. It hit Bella in the face, and in her confusion she stopped levitating and fell into the purple liquid. There was a painful sounding hiss.
"Agh!" she screamed, leaping out of the liquid and landing near to Link. Link took his chance and jumped at her, attacking her with the master sword. She punched him in the stomach and began levitating and sparkling again. Once again the room went dark.
When the darkness lifted, Link realised he was falling. He landed heavily on a metal platform suspended above a lake of lava. Bella appeared at the opposite edge of the platform and snarled at him. She then leapt up and down, causing the platform to wobble violently and Link began sliding towards the edge. Quickly, he put on his metal boots which stuck to the magnetic surface like glue. He stomped as quickly as the boots would allow him towards Bella, but before he could reach her she sped off to another side of the platform. He removed the heavy boots and chased after her, but once again she leapt up and down, wobbling the platform, and he slipped and fell over, rolling over the edge. Before he fell into the lava he managed to grasp the edge of the platform and hang on. Straining, he pulled himself up only to be hit right in the face by a sparkling missile. His eyes burned.
"Ahhh!" He gasped, rubbing his eyes frantically. He couldn't see a thing. Bella shot another sparkling ball towards him and it smacked him right in the stomach, almost knocking him back off the edge. Blindly, Link raised his shield in an attempt to ward off any further attacks. Bella smiled and ceased her attack, realising that he was unable to see. She sped towards him, fist raised.
"She's coming straight at you Link!" Midna yelled when Bella was almost upon him. Link blindly swung his sword around in front of him and Bella tried to skid to a halt but her momentum carried her forwards straight into Link's attack. She hissed with pain and levitated into the air, preparing again to change the scenery.
"Link, can you see?" Midna asked.
"Barely... I can only see a blur." There was no time to finish the conversation as suddenly Link was plunged into freezing water.
Initially Link panicked and choked on the water, floundering desperately to find the surface before he realised he could use his blue tunic. He quickly pulled it on and breathed in deeply. Still unable to see a thing, he pulled on his heavy boots and sank to the bottom.
"Where's Bella?" He asked Midna.
"I don't know... I can't see her anywhere!" Midna replied, searching for the vampire. There was a loud rumbling noise below the floor and Link looked down, despite the fact he could barely see anything. The floor below him ruptured and a huge statue rose out of the floor. Link staggered back and raised his shield.
"Midna! Is that... a statue?" He asked, shaking slightly.
"No Link! It's... a lump of rock," Midna lied.
"Are you sure?" Link began, but stopped talking and drew his sword as a door in the statue slid open revealing Bella inside.
"She's over there! In the stat- I mean lump of rock!" Midna yelled. Link removed his heavy boots and swam towards the statue. As he got closer he saw a sparkling blur heading straight for him and twisted out of the way. The missile grazed his back and another shot straight at him. He narrowly dodged that one as well and sped towards the opening. However as soon as he got close, the door slammed shut and the statue sank back into the ground.
"She's tiring," Midna commented. "You can tell. She's taking breaks in the assaults and hiding so you can't get her." There was a rumble and the statue rose out of the floor. This time Link was prepared and pulled out his clawshot. He squinted, determined not to miss despite the fact he was still half blinded from the sparkle power. A movement caught his eye and he fired at it, hoping it had been the movement of the door opening. His clawshot hit stone and retracted back to him, empty. He narrowed his eyes in time to see something sparkly shooting towards him. He raised his shield to block a barrage of sparkle power, then fired at where he guessed they had come from. He was rewarded when his clawshot fastened around something and dragged a dark shape towards him. He stabbed and slashed Bella with his sword until she broke free with a flash of sparkle power and swam out of his grasp.
"Damn you!" She yelled, and the entire underwater arena glittered and vanished.
When the room reformed, Link looked around. His vision had recovered enough to see that he was in a room with several large pillars arranged in a circular pattern. Bella was sitting on the pillar in the centre.
"Give up now," she snarled. "Just let me bite you and you can be my slave. I can tell you're weakening. Look at you, you can barely see properly!" Link realised with a sinking feeling she was right. Although he could now distinguish objects from eachother, his vision was still blurred and unfocussed. He had been hit by a lot of sparkle power during the battle as well, and that was definitely taking its toll.
"You're weakening too!" He said more confidently than he felt. "Your sparkle power blasts are getting weaker, and you're doing more to evade me than you were before! Plus I have a secret plan in case of an emergency!"
"We'll see about that!" Yelled Bella, and fired sparkles at Link. He dodged and shot an arrow back. Bella leapt to another pillar.
"You know," said Link, "I once fought a monkey in a room like this. Looks like I'm fighting another monkey in the same room." Bella flushed with anger.
"How dare you!" She growled, and fired a massive sparkling ball at Link. It punched a crater in the floor. Link jumped aside and rolled into the pillar Bella was standing on. However, instead of falling off as the monkey had, Bella leapt to another pillar.
"You're not gonna get me like that!" She growled, firing more sparkle power at Link. A little hit him in the chest and he gasped with pain.
"Let's get this over with," He muttered and ran straight at the pillar Bella was on. As he expected, Bella leapt to another pillar, but as she did so Link pulled out his boomerang and hurled it at her, causing her to lose her balance and begin to wobble. Link smiled at her and rolled into the pillar. Bella crashed to the floor and Link jumped at her, stabbing with the master sword. She kicked him away from her and faded the room into nothingness.
"Are you just going to continue changing the scenery until you have an arena that's to your advantage?" Link asked, exasperated.
"Yes," hissed Bella. The room reformed into one covered with ice; similar to the one Link had fought the yeti in. Bella hovered above the ice and began glittering.
"You should be proud of yourself Link, you're forcing me to give myself armour!" she said. The sparkles flowed until they were covering her entire body and solidified into a set of armour and a large axe. Bella floated higher and higher, then began moving towards Link. At the last moment Link realised what she was going to do and threw himself aside as Bella shot downwards, slicing at where he had been with the axe. He ran away from her, skidding on the ice. She walked after him, unaffected by the slippery conditions because of the sparkling spikes on the soles of her boots which gave her grip. She swung the axe at him, missing by a hairs width.
"I notice you've stopped blasting sparkle power at me," Link commented. "Getting a little tired?"
"Not too tired to completely destroy you," she snarled. "How're your eyes?"
"A lot better thank you!" With that, Link pulled out his ball and chain and hurled it at Bella. She leapt gracefully out of the way and slammed the axe into Link's side. He fell to the floor and Bella stood over him.
"Looks like I've got you now!"
"No you haven't!" He replied, yanking the ball and chain back towards him. It caught Bella a heavy blow to the leg and shattered her armour. She shrieked and ran to the other side of the room, starting to glitter.
"Taking you a while to reform that armour, isn't it?" Link jeered, chasing after her. He managed to slash her exposed back with the sword before a thin sparkly layer shimmered into existence. He stabbed at her legs, causing her to gasp in pain before armour covered them as well. She leapt up into the air, hovering above him. This time her axe was significantly smaller. Nonetheless, it still hurt just as much when she dropped suddenly and smacked him hard with it. As he skidded backwards from the impact he threw the ball and chain desperately at Bella, who returned fire with a ball of sparkle power. Although it was weak, it still slammed into Link with the force of a truck. The ball and chain smashed Bella's armour and she collapsed to the floor. The scenery shimmered and began to change again.
Link looked around. He didn't know where they were this time, but he could see Hyrule castle in the distance and a sparkling barrier surrounded them. He turned his aching body to look at Bella, who was looking just as bad as he felt.
"It's time to finish this," she said. "No more messing around. Just a straight sword fight to the death. I don't have the energy for anything more." Link nodded and drew his sword. Bella channelled her sparkle power into creating a glittering sword. The two circled eachother warily before Bella leapt forwards and slashed at Link's side. Link raised his shield, deflecting the attack and jabbed at Bella's chest. The tip of his sword caught her and she hissed.
"Do you know how much that hurts? The shiny power burns me!"
"Your sparkle power burns me!" Link replied. "So yes, actually." Bella ignored him and stabbed at his stomach. Link slashed at her side and she leapt back.
"I may have exhausted my sparkle power," she growled, "But you forget vampires have amazing speed and strength!" With that she sped towards Link, slashing her sword at him with frightening speed. Link barely blocked the first blow and the second caught him completely defenceless, knocking him to the floor. Bella walked towards him, and he leapt up and ran off.
"There's no way I can defend against that attack," he panted to Midna. "She won't be able to keep it up forever though!" He froze as he felt Bella shoot past him, and slashed unsuccessfully at her. She jabbed him hard in the chest and he fell to the floor once more. He only had one heart of health left. Bella smiled.
"Looks like this is it, then!" Link ignored her and pulled out a bottle.
"Not quite, I still have THIS!" He uncorked the bottle and drank the yeti's soup he had kept after leaving their house. His health restored and he leapt to his feet. Bella watched him warily as he circled her, sword raised. Suddenly she dashed forwards and swiped at Link, who blocked and returned the blow. As he was lunging forwards, she slashed at his side with frightening speed, knocking him backwards. She took the advantage and jabbed him, causing him to back off even more. The assault continued until Link realised he had been backed into a corner. Bella smiled and began a flurry of rapid attacks that Link had no hope of dodging. He had no choice but to stand and endure the attack, blocking the few blows he could and hoping he survived.
After what seemed like a lifetime, Bella dropped her arm, panting.
"You're tougher than you look," she gasped, exhausted. Link got to his feet, aching all over, and forced his tired muscles into action. He attacked Bella with the master sword, who had exhausted herself too much to defend. She weakly raised her arms, but Link swiped them aside with the sword and stabbed at her exposed body. He hit her with the flat of his sword, knocking her to the floor and raised his sword for the final blow.
"Wait! Stop!" Bella cried. The scenery faded and returned the three to Bella's throne room.
Three dark objects flew out of Bella's grasp and floated to Midna, who gave a cry of delight.
"The fused shadows!"
"Okay," Bella panted. "You've defeated me. But you know what? Even if you kill me now, Edward will revive me. And it won't break your curse either," she sneered. "You'll remain a puny imp forever Midna, and the Twilight realm will still belong to my dearest Edward until you kill him. And believe me, you won't be able to kill him. So you may have defeated me... but really, in the long run you gained nothing!" Link looked at Midna, whose face was contorted with rage. She raised her arms and the fused shadows floated closer to her.
"We'll defeat Edward," she whispered. "But you won't be around to see it!" Then she fired shining beams out of her hands, directly at Bella. Bella let out one last scream, then exploded into a massive ball of sparkle power which shot towards Link. Link was too exhausted to move and he stared horrified as the lethal missile shot towards him, knowing he would not be able to survive the impact.
A shining sphere at least twice the size of the sparkling one collided with the sparkles and exploded in an immense flash of light. Link closed his eyes to protect them from the brightness of the collision, and when he opened them a slightly smaller, but still very large shining orb was floating in front of him. Slowly, it faded to nothingness. Link turned around.
"Midna... did you... was that you?" Midna was staring at her hands, as shocked as Link was.
"The fused shadows... I had no idea they were so powerful! That was just a fraction of the power I could have used, Link!"
"... wow." Link was unsure of what to say.
"But anyway, we've done it!" Midna said joyfully. "We've defeated Bella Cullen and reclaimed the fused shadows! With these, saving Zelda and destroying Edward will be easy! Come on, let's go!" She created a portal to take them out of the castle.
"One second," Link said, and walked to where Bella had been. He picked up the glittering heart container she had left behind, and grinned as he felt his health returning and increasing.
"I'm ready. Let's go."
