Kai's RPG Adventure
Chapter 38: The King of Evil, Ganondorf
Kai ran up to his friends after defeating Twinrova. He helped them get up. Navi flew right next to Link.
"Great job, Navi," Link said. "Without you, Kai wouldn't have won."
"Thanks," Navi said. "But we still have one more fight."
"Right," Link said. "We have to find that Spirit Medallion."
"Look no further," a familiar voice said.
Everyone turned to face the voice and saw Nabooru.
"I have awakened as a sage," Nabooru said. "Now I can fulfill my duty and help defeat Ganondorf."
"Thanks, Nabooru," Kai said.
"Good luck, everyone," Nabooru said. "It'll take all of you to defeat Ganondorf."
"Where do we go next?" Hazel asked.
"I'm not sure," Nabooru replied. "Just go wherever you feel like."
Nabooru then disappeared. A yellow medallion appeared in front of Link. He then picked it up and put it in a rucksack.
"Now I have all six medallions," Link said. "Let's go fight Ganondorf."
"Ok," everyone else agreed.
Suddenly, they magically teleported out of the temple. They appeared just outside of the temple.
"Where did all of the Gerudo people go?" Kai asked.
"My guess is that they got bored and left," Toad said. "We'd be best to leave before we get caught."
"But where do we go?" Zero asked. "Does anyone have any idea where Ganondorf is?"
There was a long pause.
"I thought so," Zero said. "We have to come up with a plan."
They all sat down and began to think. Out of nowhere, Kai began to hear music. It was the same song that he played to get into the Temple of Time.
"I know where we have to go!" Kai shouted. "Let's go to the Temple of Time!"
Everyone turned to listen to Kai.
"If we head there, I'm sure that we'll find what we're looking for," Kai said.
"It would make sense," Zero said. "That is where we heard about what happened to this place. Let's go."
"I know a shortcut," Link said.
Link took out his ocarina and played the same song Kai played earlier. They were all magically teleported to the inside of the Temple of Time.
"I love teleporting," Kai said happily.
"What do we do now?" Zero asked.
"I can answer that," a voice out of nowhere said.
Suddenly, in a puff of smoke, Sheik appeared in the room.
"Do you have the six medallions?" Sheik asked.
"Right here," Link said.
He took out six different-colored medallions.
"Good," Sheik said. "Now we can save Hyrule."
"Who are you?" Toad asked. "You seem to know a lot about these medallions."
"It's time that I reveal my true form," Sheik said.
Sheik held out his right hand. On it was the Triforce. One of the three triangles on the Triforce was lit in a golden light. The light then surrounded the entire room. Everyone closed their eyes to avoid the flash. When the light faded, everyone opened their eyes slowly. Then, their eyes widened in surprise.
In Sheik's place was a woman. She wore a pink and white dress. On the front was the Triforce. She had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a golden tiara and long, white gloves. She also wore golden shoulder pads.
"No way," Hazel said.
"It…it can't be," Zero said.
"Princess Zelda?!" Toad exclaimed.
"Wait a minute…" Kai began.
A flashback began. It showed the time when Kai, Toad, and Link just finished their adventure in Death Mountain. The Princess came dashing through the night on horseback. She threw a blue ocarina toward Link, but missed and nailed Kai straight in the head.
"You're the lady who through the ocarina at me!" Kai shouted angrily.
"Ocarina?" Hazel asked.
"Don't ask," Toad said. "It's too embarrassing."
"I am glad that you all are here," Zelda said. "Ganondorf has grown more powerful with each passing day. It will take all of you in order to defeat him."
"Ok, I need you to explain something," Kai said. "Why were you disguised as a guy?"
"I'm guessing that she needed to hide her identity from Ganondorf," Zero answered.
"That would make sense," Kai said.
"That is correct," Zelda said. "I needed to hide my identity till this day so I could help Link defeat Ganondorf."
"Why did Ganondorf get so powerful?" Link asked.
"It is because of what he got his hands on," Zelda answered. "He stole the Triforce of Power when Link traversed into the future. While he was unable to gain all the pieces of the Triforce, he did gain enough power to take over Hyrule."
"Where are the rest of the pieces?" Hazel asked.
"I hold the Triforce of Wisdom," Zelda said. "And Link holds the Triforce of Courage."
Link looked on his right hand and saw a Triforce symbol on it.
"Whoa," Link said.
"Only we have the ability to slay Ganondorf once and for all," Zelda said. "But we must be careful. If Ganondorf steals the rest of the Triforce, he will become too powerful to be stopped."
"We'll help in any way possible," Kai said.
"Thank you," Zelda said. "While I lack any fighting skill, I can still help in the fight by giving you this, Link."
Zelda handed Link some arrows with golden tips.
"Those are Light Arrows," Zelda said. "Using them, you'll be able to harm Ganondorf."
"Ok," Link said. "Let's do this."
Suddenly, a huge crystal surrounded Zelda.
"What's going on?!" Toad shouted.
Link tried to pierce the crystal with his sword, but to no avail. Suddenly, an evil laugh surrounded the whole room.
"Who's there?!" Zero shouted.
Everyone began to draw their weapons. Seemingly out of nowhere, Ganondorf appeared.
"Zelda's power will soon be mine," Ganondorf said.
"Let her go!" Link shouted.
"If you want her back, you'll have to fight me for her," Ganondorf said. "Meet me at the top of my tower. There, our little game will begin."
Ganondorf and Zelda then disappeared.
"Crap," Kai said. "We have to save her!"
"Right," everyone else said.
They then ran out of the temple. A few minutes later, they stood in front of a huge pit of lava. A humungous, black castle floated over the lava. A clear barrier surrounded the lava.
"There's no way that we can get in there," Toad said.
"There must be a way," Kai said.
Suddenly, the six medallions that Link had began to float in the air. Six different, spiritual beings, including Darunia and Nabooru, appeared out of nowhere. The other four included a green haired girl in a green tunic, a blue, fish-like girl, an old man, and a tan woman.
"We are here to help you," the old man said. "We'll destroy the barrier and create a bridge into the castle."
All six of the spiritual beings came together and destroyed the barrier. They then created a bridge toward the castle's door.
"Let's go!" Kai exclaimed.
Kai began to run toward the castle's door.
"Wait, Kai!" Zero shouted.
Kai then stopped.
"There are bound to be some traps inside the castle waiting for us," Zero said. "At least you and Link must be at full strength if you want to defeat Ganondorf."
"What do we do?" Kai asked.
"You must find another way into the building," Zero said. "We'll come in through the front and provide you with some help."
"How will they get to the top quickly and efficiently?" Hazel asked. "There's only one entrance."
"We'll just have to make an entrance," Kai said.
He then took out his Warpstar symbol.
Meanwhile, Ganondorf was playing the organ in the room that he was in earlier. Zelda, who was still in the crystal, was hanging above the organ.
"Link will stop you!" Zelda shouted.
"Foolish woman," Ganondorf said. "Even if they could get past all of my traps, there is no way that they'll have the power needed to defeat me."
Suddenly, a nearby window shattered. Kai, Link, and Navi flew through the window on the Warpstar. They fell off of it once they were inside. The Warpstar continued and crashed into a wall. Kai and Link drew their swords.
"Ganondorf, it's over!" Kai shouted.
"It seems that this battle will be fun after all," Ganondorf said. "Fine, let the battle begin!"
Ganondorf began to float into the air. A dark aura burst from him and surrounded the entire room. Navi was blown back.
"I'm sorry, Link," Navi said. "His power is forcing me back. I can't help you."
"We'll just have to fight him without advice," Link said.
Ganondorf then began to throw black spheres at Kai and Link. They continuously dodged these blasts. Eventually, Kai and Link became fatigued.
"We can't keep running forever," Kai said.
"But we can't reach him with our swords," Link said. "And I have no time to draw one of my arrows. How will we fight?"
"I'm not sure," Kai said.
Ganondorf threw another sphere at them. Kai ran up to it.
"What are you doing?!" Link shouted.
"I'm not sure," Kai answered. "But we have to try something!"
Kai swung his blade at the sphere and deflected it back to Ganondorf. Ganondorf was paralyzed from this hit.
"I can't believe that worked," Kai said. "Link, hit him with one of the arrows that Zelda gave you!"
"Right," Link said as he drew out his bow and arrows.
He aimed a Light Arrow toward Ganondorf. He pulled back the bow and shot the arrow toward Ganondorf. Ganondorf was hurt by the arrow and fell to the ground.
"This is it!" Kai shouted.
Kai and Link ran forward and both slashed Ganondorf with their swords. After a few slashes, Ganondorf forced them backwards and rose into the air. He was breathing hard.
"That's how we'll do this," Kai said. "Let's go, Link!"
Ganondorf threw another sphere toward Kai and Link. Kai deflected it with his sword. Ganondorf then deflected the sphere back at them with his hands. Link then rushed in and deflected the blast with his sword. Ganondorf was struck by the blast. Kai and Link repeated what they did earlier. This strategy repeated over and over until Ganondorf couldn't rise anymore.
"Had enough?" Kai asked.
"How could I, the King of Evil, be defeated by mere children?" Ganondorf asked himself. "If I go down…I'M TAKING YOU WITH ME!!!"
Ganondorf began to glow with a black light. The Triforce on his right hand began to glow brightly. A dark aura surrounded Ganondorf. The aura then shot out across the castle. Ganondorf fell to the ground. He seemed to be dead.
"What just happened?" Kai asked.
"I'm not sure," Link replied. "But let's free Zelda."
Kai and Link slashed the crystal with their swords simultaneously. The crystal shattered, and Zelda was freed.
"Thank you," Zelda said.
Suddenly, the whole castle began to shake.
"What's going on?!" Kai shouted.
"The castle is falling," Zelda answered. "Ganondorf must've used the last of his power to take down the castle. We have to get out of here."
Kai ran toward the Warpstar. It was shattered into pieces.
"We'll have to go down the long way," Kai said. "The Warpstar is in pieces."
"I'll be able to guide you through the tower," Zelda said. "Follow me."
Zelda ran out of the room. Kai, Link, and Navi followed her.
They eventually reached a strange room. The castle was still shaking. Zelda was halfway across the room, when a ring of fire surrounded her. Five lizard-men fell from the ceiling, wielding axes.
"We don't have time to fight all five of them," Kai said.
"We have to in order to free Zelda," Link said.
Suddenly, dozens of shuriken shot from above and hit the lizard-men. All five Lizard-men were destroyed, and Zelda was freed from the fire. Zero dropped down from the ceiling.
"It looked like you needed help," Zero said. "Now, let's hurry before the castle collapses. Hazel and Toad are waiting for us."
"Right," Kai said.
With Zelda in the lead, they ran further down the castle. Soon, they reached a huge room with the castle's door at the front. Hazel and Toad were fighting off an Iron Knuckle.
"I'm glad that you're here," Hazel said. "Do you mind finishing this guy off?"
"With pleasure," Kai said.
Kai stabbed right through the Iron Knuckle's armor. The Iron Knuckle disappeared in a puff of smoke. They all ran out of the castle. When they reached the outside, they crossed the bridge. As soon as they crossed, the castle fell to the ground. When they were a safe distance from the falling castle, they turned around and watched the castle fall into oblivion.
"Well, Hyrule's safe," Kai said.
"I'm just glad we escaped that castle before it fell," Hazel said.
Suddenly, the ground below them began to shake.
"This can't be good," Zero said.
Ganondorf rose from the ground below them. His eyes were completely white with rage.
"We killed you!" Kai shouted. "Then a castle fell on top of you! How did you survive?!"
"Kill…" Ganondorf said in a demonic voice. "Kill…LINK!"
The Triforce on Ganondorf's right hand glowed in a black light. The black light completely covered the land. When the light faded, Ganondorf was replaced by a demonic, boar-like, sword-wielding creature.
"What the heck?!" Kai shouted.
"He fits the description of an evil beast of ancient times," Zelda said. "The creature was called Ganon."
"What a coincidence," Kai said.
Ganon slashed the sword from Links hands. The sword flew into the air and landed far from Link.
"The sword!" Link shouted.
Suddenly, Sakura appeared out of nowhere. She rose the staff into the air. A dark wave shot from the staff. The wave blew back everyone except Kai, Link, and Navi. Then, a barrier surrounded Kai, Link, and Ganon. Zero, Toad, and Hazel tried to destroy the barrier, but to no avail.
"We can't let anyone interrupt this fight," Sakura said.
"Only the Master Sword can slay Ganon," Zelda said. "Without it, Kai and Link will fail."
Inside the barrier, Ganon tried to slash Kai and Link into ribbons. Navi followed them as they dodged each hit.
"I can help you this time," Navi said.
"Great!" Kai exclaimed. "What's this guy's weakness?"
"His tail is his weak point," Navi said. "Be careful, though, he can only be slain by the Master Sword."
"We can at least weaken him first," Kai said. "Link, do you have any other weapons?"
"I have my arrows," Link answered. "But I doubt that they'll do any damage."
"Use them as a distraction," Kai said. "I'll charge in and weaken Ganon."
Kai and Link separated. Link blasted Ganon with Light Arrows to distract Ganon. Kai ran up from behind Ganon and slashed his tail. Ganon yelled in pain and turned around. He then knocked Kai into the walls of the barrier. This repeated over and over. Eventually, Kai could barely move, and Link was out of arrows.
"He…doesn't…seem…to be getting any weaker," Kai panted. "How do we win?"
"There must be something that we can do?" Link said.
Outside of the barrier, Zero, Toad, and Hazel had given up on breaking the barrier.
"There must be a way to give Link his sword," Zero said. "How can we?"
"I may have the ability to open the barrier, but only for a short amount of time," Zelda said. "The opening will be just big enough for the sword to go through."
"Alright," Zero said. "Hazel, you'll need to get the sword through the barrier. Toad and I will distract Sakura."
"Right," Hazel said.
Zero and Toad began to blast Sakura over and over with attacks. Sakura dodged each of these attacks and retaliated with blasts of her own. These blasts were dodged as well. Hazel grabbed the sword. Zelda then held out her hands toward the barrier. Her hands began to glow with a golden light. A small opening appeared in the barrier.
"Link!" Hazel shouted as she threw the sword into the barrier. The sword landed onto the ground, and Link grabbed it.
"Let's finish this," Link said.
"I agree," Kai replied.
Kai and Link charged forward. Kai threw a bomb-rock to distract Ganon. While Ganon was recovering from the explosion of the bomb-rock, Kai rose his sword into the air. The sword began to glow with a green and light-blue light.
"Shining Overdrive!" Kai shouted as he slashed Ganon's tail.
A huge explosion rose from where Kai slashed down. When the explosion cleared, Ganon was paralyzed.
"Link, now!" Kai shouted.
Link jumped up into the air and stabbed Ganon in the heart with his sword. Ganon began to scream in pain. Ganon then disappeared in a flash of light.
"No!!!" Sakura shouted.
The barrier disappeared. Sakura then hopped onto the black bird, which flew in during Link's final attack. Zero threw shuriken at her, but he missed when she rose into the air. She then flew too far for Zero to attack.
"She got away!" Zero shouted angrily as he slammed his fist into the ground.
The following day, everyone stood at the front of the forest where Kai and his friends entered Hyrule.
"I guess that this is good-bye," Kai said.
"What will happen now?" Hazel asked.
"Using my magic and the Temple of Time, I will send Hyrule decades into the future," Zelda said.
"What?!" Kai and his friends exclaimed.
"I hope that Hyrule will face a more peaceful time," Zelda said. "Link and I will be reincarnated into the future, but we will not remember you. But memories of you will remain in our hearts always."
"When we next meet, maybe we can have fun instead of fight some evil man bent on taking over the world," Kai said.
"I hope so," Link said.
Zelda walked up to Kai.
"Let me teach you a song that may come in handy sometime in the future," Zelda said.
She took out a harp. She played a few notes on it. The notes went in this order: mid--high-low---mid--high-low---mid--high-very high--high-mid.
Kai took out his ocarina and played the same song.
"That song is called 'Zelda's Lullaby'," Zelda said. "It is a royal song that has been passed down in my family for generations. If you ever find a symbol of the Triforce, play this song and something good will happen."
"Thank you," Kai said.
Kai and his friends began to leave. They said their good-byes and entered the forest.
To be continued…
