Hey, there! Kikilu here once more with another chappie~

So here's the second chapter of the final arc. Cybalt's turn. Nyeh.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Legend of Zelda.

Cybalt

It was just really pissing me off, the way he was talking to Zelda. Really pissing me off.

My stomach churned, and when I looked at Zelda, it jumped. Weird. I love Hazel don't I...?

The only reason he hit me at all was because I wasn't focused. I glanced at Zelda while I was fighting, and Rylu took this chance to hit me.

He didn't cut me, he just jabbed the hilt of his sword into my gut and kicked me into the wall.

My head smashed into one of the jewels on the wall. I wasn't unconscious, but I couldn't move or open my eyes.

I heard Zelda and Hazel scream my name, then felt Hazel's hand on my cheek. It had to be her; it smelled like wildflowers.

"You bastard..." Hazel said. "You fucking bastard! Can't you tell she doesn't love you? Can't you tell she loves Link?"

Zelda loves me?

Just then, the world disappeared from around me. I was completely alone. When I opened my eyes, I was floating in darkness. A boy who looked about my age with light green hair and strange clothing appeared in front of me. He gave me a sly grin.

"Remember," he said, then faded into the dark.

You know when they say you've seen your life flash before your eyes? That's what happened to me.

First I saw my mother. I was in my father's arms. Denom was in my mother's arms. Behind my mother, was a bright comet, sailing across the sky.

I saw my parents and grandmother. I saw Denom and I playing.

I saw a fire, and my mother crying. She grabbed me, and told my grandmother to take Denom. She ran through a dark passage and found a horse. She rode away from the castle toward the forest.

I saw her beg the Great Deku Tree to keep me safe. "Please, O Great Tree! Please take my child in, keep him safe!"

The Deku Tree was silent. "I can see thy child is destined for greatness."

My mother looked confused. "No. It is my other child you are seeing. He is the one who has my power."

"Nay. 'Tis this child. He does not have thy power, but he has a greater one. I shall take him in. What is his name?"

My mother hugged me and kissed my cheek. "Link. His name is Link."

I saw my childhood again. Mido bullying me, and Saria comforting me. I saw my entire journey across Hyrule, going through time, and falling for Zelda.

Zelda!

It was her I was forgetting! It was Zelda!

I saw myself meeting Zelda for the first time, in awe of her beauty.

I saw myself desperately seeking her during my quest.

I saw her. I saw Zelda. Every moment with Zelda is never a moment wasted. It wasn't Hazel I needed, it was Zelda.

I sighed. "I'm sorry, Hazel."

When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the jeweled room. My head hurt like crazy, but that didn't matter. Zelda and Hazel were fighting Rylu.

Hazel had her swords out, and Zelda had a rapier in her right hand.

They didn't notice I was awake, since my hair was covering my eyes.

Ollivar and Mina were standing against the wall. They saw me, but didn't move.

"What's going on?" I mouthed to them.

Mina shrugged, while Ollivar slowly inched his way over to me.

Rylu noticed this. "You! Peasant! Where are you going?"

Ollivar bowed. "Excuse me, sire. I was going to check up on my friend, if that's alright?"

Rylu smirked. "Go ahead. Go check on your dead comrade."

Ollivar and Mina ran to me.

"What's going on?" I whispered.

"Hazel and Zelda are going to fight Rylu," said Mina. "They haven't moved an inch though."

"It's a stare down," Ollivar whispered. "But I'm sure Hazel is going to make the first move."

Just as he said it, Hazel ran, jumped and did a flip over Rylu, she swung her swords at him, making a gash on both shoulders.

Zelda followed and did a spin attack, knocking off the armor Rylu was wearing.

Hazel ran again and jumped, doing a double spin attack, which Rylu dodged by stepping back.

He stepped into Zelda's range therefore allowing himself to be hit by Zelda. Rylu slashed blindly at her but missed.

Hazel jumped on to his shoulders, dislocating one by the sound of it. Rylu swung at her, but him Zelda instead. Blood started to flow from her leg.

Zelda raised her other foot and kicked Rylu in the face. Again, Rylu swung blindly, this time, cutting Hazel's arm.

The door then opened, and Cybalt walked in.

"You're not done yet?" he asked.

Rylu shook his head. "Just go back to your praying. Cyra's light will be here soon."

Cyra's light...? That sounded familiar... Oh!

Cyra's Light, the comet that arrives once every 17 years! I read it in the Book of Mudora back when...

I felt my pocket. The necklace and comb I got for Zelda were still in it.

Cybalt laughed. "You're fighting women and you still can't win?"

"Don't count me short, Cybalt," said Rylu. "If I remember correctly, you were beaten by Zelda."

Cybalt's face became angry. He pulled out a sword from under his cape. He slashed at Rylu then kicked him away.

"No one talks to me like that without punishment."

Rylu lay slumped against the wall, blood dripping down his chin and chest. "Don't forget... who gave you... your power..."

Cybalt looked satisfied as Rylu slipped into unconsciousness. He looked to Zelda and Hazel.

"Now it's your turn."

They both looked exhausted and could barely stand. Blood was flowing from their wounds.

"Actually," Ollivar said, standing up. "I think it's our turn to fight."

"Yes. I think you're right, Ollivar," said Mina. "It's been awfully boring just sitting here."

Cybalt smirked. "Fine. I'll go through you first. Then I'll pick you all off, one by one."

"Princess, you and Hazel sit next to Link," Ollivar ordered. "We'll take care of this guy."

"Thanks, Ollivar," Zelda said.

"Go for it, Glasses," Hazel cheered.

Hazel sat at my right, Zelda at my left. Zelda pulled out some gauze and some herbs out. I recognized them as Dragon's Spice. She gave some to Hazel.

"Dragon's Spice?" Hazel asked. "Did Link show you this?"

Zelda nodded and treated her leg. Hazel did the same to her arm.

My attention turned to Ollivar and Mina as they were about to fight Cybalt, the crazy bastard who started this whole thing.

Cybalt looked at his opponents with amusement.

"I'm fighting a woman, and a scholar. Oh, this will be over soon," he said, chuckling.

"You or me?" Mina asked in a whisper.

"You first. Get him off, then I'll go," Ollivar replied.

Mina nodded and immediately ran to Cybalt and did a spin attack. He dodged, but was off balance and nearly fell over, allowing Ollivar to step in and vertical slice his shoulder, nearly cutting Cybalt's left arm in half.

With his working right arm, Cybalt turned and swung at Ollivar, leaving a small scratch on his cheek.

Mina then took the chance to jump on Cybalt's back and push him down. She sat on him and sighed. "That was surprisingly easy."

"It's not over yet, wench," Cybalt growled, and kicked her off. Ollivar caught her and helped her on her feet.

Ollivar muttered something under his breath, then swung his sword, only to stop midway and kick Cybalt in the jaw. Cybalt stopped for breath and spit out blood.

He let out a growl, then swung his sword. Mid-swing, he kicked his sword, giving more force. Ollivar was hit, but barely. He was lucky enough only to have some of his arm skinned. If that attack hit head on, Ollivar would probably be split in half.

Ollivar let out a yell of pain, but tried to ignore it. Blood was flowing like a waterfall from his injury.

While Cybalt was focused on Ollivar, Mina came around and tried to stab him from the back. Her attack simply bounced off; Cybalt was wearing protective armor around his chest. His arms were his weak spot, as were his head and stomach area.

Cybalt turned around and kicked Mina down. He took his sword in both hands and muttered an enchantment. He pulled his sword apart, creating another sword. Cybalt roared and starting swinging like mad.

Mina jumped in front of Ollivar and blocked Cybalt's attacks, knowing Ollivar couldn't properly protect himself with his injured arm.

When Cybalt repeated his sword-kick attack, Mina nearly lost her leg.

It was then Zelda and Hazel ran and hit Cybalt in the back at the same time.

"You guys have done enough," Zelda said. "Leave it to us from here."

"Actually," I said standing up. "It's my turn."

Zelda and Hazel gasped. "You're... okay?"

"I'm strong enough to fight this guy," I said, smiling a bit. "Treat those two."

Cybalt smirked. "I'm in no rush. In fact, I need to kill a little time."

"Yeah?" I asked, "Well, I need to kill you."

"Don't push your luck, boy," Cybalt growled. "If you're lucky, you might just end up like my worthless brother," he said, nodding his head toward.

But right when I was about to charge at him, the room became dark. The roof opened, revealing a comet sailing across the sky. The very same comet that sailed behind my mother in my memories...

Cybalt laughed maniacally. "Your time is up!" he shouted, still laughing. "Cyra's Light is here! My power is infinite now!"

As he laughed, he began to levitate. He took his two swords and merged them into a large spear.

The shaft of the spear was golden, shining like the sun. The blade was long and sharp. Light seemed to be radiating from the tip.

"This is the power of Cyra! This is the power of the Sight!" Cybalt roared, and went even higher in the air. He hovered for a second, then raised his sword. A bright ball of energy came from the tip and he threw it at me.

Not this again... I thought as I hit the energy back to him. "Another round of Dead Man's Volley, huh?"

When Cybalt finally missed and his attack backfired on himself, I went and stabbed him.

But he didn't die.

He had a wound in his chest, bright red with his blood. Despite that, he began to float once more.

A deep, dark voice descended from the Heavens. "You have failed me, servant!"

Cybalt shook his head frantically, looking toward the sky. "No, master! I have not! Let me fight once more! I will use the power of Cyra to destroy her, just like you ordered me to!" he said, his voice raspy.

"You dare to use the gods' power after your failure? Insolent filth! Your punishment will not be merciful!"

Cybalt screamed as streams of black fell from the sky. The black formed into a person. Or should I say, god?

The god, Ryluan stood under Cybalt's body and took his weapon. The gold faded away and turned to black.

"Float there for now, wretch," Ryluan said, his voice now more human. "I'll deal with you. But first, I must deal with Cyra."

With the spear, Ryluan drew a circle on the ground. The circle filled with blackness, and when Ryluan stepped in it, he flew toward the heavens.

"Link, we have to help," Zelda said, putting a hand on my shoulder. "I don't really know what's going on, but we have to help!"

"I agree," said Hazel, her hand on my other shoulder.

"Go. Ollivar and I will stay here," Mina said, still treating him.

I nodded. The three of us stepped in the black, and flew to the heavens.

Wow this chapter was action packed. I'm sorry there hasn't been an update in a while, but I went to Disneyland with my family and didn't have much time to write while there, and Skyward Sword has taken up much of my time since coming back. And there's school, but who cares about that? Just kidding.

I really should be cleaning my room, but I don't really wanna...

Well, to those of you who will be reading my other Zelda story, The Hyrulean Royal Academy, the next chapter should be up tomorrow if not later tonight.

How did I do? I know I'm not the best with action stuff, but I tried. Did I improve?

More unanswered questions? They will be answered in the next chapter!

Reviews would be nice. They would boost my ego very much.
