Hi everyone! *grins widely* You have no idea how exited I am for this chapter! I just had to post it as soon as I could! (I couldn't do it the other days because of family stuff) Remember when I said this in the last chapter? "I'm going to go and watch Attack on Titan." Yeah, I am now an Anime fan! *fandom cheers* Yup! And in honor of my newfound Anime love, I'm dedicating this chapter to just that! But of course, before that happens, it is time for another
STORY SUPOOORT!
This is yet another LoZ story! (No surprise there) This is from my bud AMaeJay, Freedom. You probably won't find it there right now though, since she and her friend are rewriting it. But I might as well give you the gist of it! A game lover and fellow story writer whose name I cannot remember at the moment is a hacker, and likes to change up certain things in games. Like changing the main character in Skyward Sword to her own half human half remlit creation! She almost gets killed, so the hacker must go in herself to rescue her and her other game friends! Please give it some support, when it was still up it got lots of flamers. Anyways, onto the story! (Just to warn you, this will be a mashup of multiple anime things, not just AoT)
Chapter 15: Attack on Twili
Adri's POV
We walked out of the throne room and out into the daylight. It felt really cool, and we could see almost all of Hyrule from here! I looked over the cliffs and saw Hyrule Castle, which is where Aden and Midna should be right now! I hoped that they were doing okay. I looked back to Link, who was looking down to the lower lake Hylia.
I have to admit it, I have had a gigantic crush on almost every single Link in the LoZ franchise. It all started from the cute beginnings as the cute kid in Ocarina of Time. The next coming Link in Zelda U absolutely made me fangirl, since he looked like an anime character. But this, this was completely different!
Actually meeting one of the Links, in person, and not some sort of role player or cosplayer, was possibly one of the best things that could happen in my LIFE! Turning all of those pixels into physical features could make any gaming nerd like myself scream!
Those arm muscles, the dirty blonde hair, the ordonian clothing, everything was perfect! I felt the urge to glomp him again, but I tried to resist it. He was right there, in front of me, looking away! One part of my brain said that I shouldn't, since I could fall to my death here. Another, more convincing part of my brain said, "Girl, this is Link. Do I even need to explain? Go get him girl!"
Naturally, like lots of situations, I went for the more convincing side. I said to myself quietly, "Thank you!" I walked behind Link by a couple feet, he was still looking down onto the lake, now was my chance! I began to run, as Link began to say, "You sure that you could jump here Adri?"
He turned around to me, and that look of thought turned into a look of terror. I didn't care though, I jumped onto Link and we flew off of the cliff! It felt like hours we were in the air, it seemed like a magical moment! His screams were muffled by my fangirlish squeal! Then, we plunged into the water!
Link went in first, so he cushioned my blow into the water. I just hope that I didn't cause any broken bones to him. My squeal became gurgled by the water, and that was when I realized we were in water. I opened my eyes, seeing some Zoras looking at us. I couldn't see what their expressions were, since of the weird fish bone masks.
Link struggled, and I let go of him. We both began to swim upwards, to escape the water and get some air. I didn't exactly have any because of my little squeal earlier, so I swam as fast as I could. We were only in there for a couple seconds, so it wasn't that bad when we came out.
Or more accurately, when I came out.
When I got out of the water, I took a deep breath of air. It tasted good, but then I heard Link's coughs. I turned to him, and he was pale. Probably from the glomp I gave him. He had his fist to his mouth, coughing up some water. He turned to me, rage in his eyes.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! YOU COULD HAVE HAD US KILLED!" I already knew that I was crazy, so I simply just smiled and nodded. He looked at me like he was about to strangle me, but then he looked around and saw the other Zoras staring at us. He did a facepalm, and grabbed my wrist.
We began to swim in the other direction, past all of the Zoras. The glow on the back of my hand caught my attention, as we swam away. I lifted it out of the water, seeing it glow when it was close to a certain cave. I remembered what that was, it was the path to Snowpeak mountain. Thankfully, Midna could just warp all of us there, but I would've really liked snowboarding!
Anyways, we would go back there later, but for now, Hyrule Castle.
We swam for a little while longer, Link leading me into the Hyrule Castle waterway. Once we were out of earshot of the Zora's, Link began to talk.
"Adri, you need to learn not to do that. For both of our sakes. What is that anyways?"
"That Link," I said. "Is what my people call a glomp. It is running onto somebody and tackling them onto the ground."
"Who on Earth thought of doing that?! It sounds like a lose-lose situation to me." Link said.
"I have no idea about who made it up, but I only have three words to say about that." We swam in silence for a couple seconds, and Link then asked. "Um, what is tha"-
"I REGRET NOTHIIIIIING!" I yelled, doing the freestyle stroke into the tunnel. I could just see Link doing a facepalm behind me.
About fifteen minutes later
We were still swimming through the waterway, but we were actually just floating. The current was strong enough to push both of us without moving too much, and we were almost out. So we decided to just talk for the rest of the time.
"Adri, how do you know so much about Ad'n?" Link asked me.
"Well, it's sort of complicated. Back where I come from, there are lots of things that would freak anybody here the heck out. But I might as well start from the beginning. Me and my two friends, Logan and Lora, went to our school every day, and everything was normal. But one day, there was a-uh, gathering. And we met this weird old man that was all like, 'Take these, they are too dangerous with me.'
"What he gave us was four instruments, an ocari"- I stopped mid-sentence. I smelt something, I smelled something that had the smelly smell of something, smelly. And no, it was not anchovies. It smelled foul, I smelled it a bunch of times before, but this was slightly different. It was strong, really strong, it made me lift up my soggy shirt to block it out.
I knew what it was, and Link smelled it too.
"'s that, smoke?" I turned to him and nodded. We were reaching one final curve to the exit of the waterway, we would see what it was in a couple seconds. The current curved to the right, and we reached the exit. We both gasped.
We saw castle town in flames, green ones. The sky was dark with all of the smoke coming from it, and there was no screams. At least, none we could hear from here. We saw parts of the wall broken off here and there, and the castle was untouched. There were Twilit Beasts going around the town's bridge, as if they were patrolling.
How could all of this happen so fast? When I looked from the top of the cliff, it was completely fine! But then, a focus piercing thought appeared in my head, Aden and Midna were still in there! Are they okay? Did they get hurt?!
I had to check for myself to find out. I swam to the edge of the stream and dragged myself out of it. I tripped over myself for a second, but got back up and started to sprint towards the town. I didn't hear Link say anything, so I assumed he was following right behind me.
The Twilit Beasts finally saw us, about four of them. They ran towards us, and a barrier formed around us, like from the game. Link ran up beside me, and unsheathed his sword. I readied my magic, it was time to put my magic to the REAL test!
I thrust my hand out and sent out a fireball at one of the Twilit Beasts. It hit it right in the stone-mask-thing, but it didn't do anything to it. Unfazed. But it did stay in place for a couple seconds, thank you obvious video game weaknesses!
I took a quick look at Link for a split second, he was fighting three Twilit Beasts all on his own! But he was pinned against the wall by one of the shadow beasts. Obviously he needed help, so I gave it to him. I fired multiple energy blasts at the three Twilit Beasts. Only problem?
I only hit one of them. (Stupid aim)
They all turned to me, turning their attention off of Link. All four of them ganged up on me, surrounding me completely. Thanks to another video game cliché, they came towards me slowly. I grinned, I knew exactly what to do.
I put both of my hands to my side, channeling all of my energy into my arms. After five whole seconds (And the Twilit Beasts just right on top of me), I slammed my left arm into the ground. A warm sensation flowed through me, as both I and the Twilit Beasts got engulfed in a massive fireball.
After a couple more seconds, the sensation faded away, and the fireball disappeared. The four Twilit Beasts were all lying down, sprawled across the ground. They exploded into the Twilit Squares and flew up into the portal above us. Link, staring at me in aghast, asked, "What. 'n D'n's name. Just happ'n'd?"
I smiled at his little accent. I didn't notice until now, but he sounded like a natural country boy! "That Link," I said. "was Din's fire. A special attack that I learned from Impaz." I took a deep breath, which in hindsight, wasn't a good idea with the smoke.
I started to cough, I breathed in some smoke and ash. Why did I do that?! Pikachu would be sad now! An imaginary audience threw tomatoes at me in my head, for that terrible pun. I doubled over coughing, and Link came over and patted my back.
Surprisingly, that actually helped, and I stopped coughing. I straightened up, and thanked Link. Suddenly, we heard a strange childish laugh. We didn't know where it came from, but we knew who it was from.
"That was priceless, you tried to act calm, but you messed up entirely!"
"Zant." Link and I said at the same time. We both looked up, and saw Zant floating in mid-air, looking down on us. He was, different now from the games. He didn't have his helmet for one, but the big change was the colors of his weird robe.
Instead of its usual black and green coloring, it was replaced by a white and purple color. And he also had some sort of, flame, around him. The flame was purple, and engulfed him completely. If it did hurt him, he didn't show it. Also, it was hard to see from here, but his eyes were now whited out.
Surprisingly, Link didn't ask how I knew about Zant. Which was a good thing, since THAT would take a while to explain on its own.
"Zant! Why are you doing this to Hyrule?!" Link yelled up to him. He looked down onto us, and slowly floated down to our level.
"Isn't it obvious fool? I am doing this for my god. He seeks destruction, so I shall give it to him." He said as he touched the ground.
"But what do you think will happen after all of this Zant, huh?!" Zant snapped his head over to me, which actually made me flinch.
"Ah," he said in a somehow mature and calm tone. "You are the power bearing brat that my god told me about. Tell me, why do you care for your friend in there." He said.
"What are you talking about, Aden? I'm his friend, of course I care about him, why wouldn't I?!" I yelled in reply.
"Hmph. Don't you get it? He simply appeared one day in your world, and brought nothing but suspicion onto everyone he ran into! You have seen what powers he holds, do you not?" I didn't get what he was saying, and I wouldn't buy it either! I knew Zant was crazy, so it was only natural that he would play mind games with me!
Even though I didn't answer, he kept talking. "You made him your friend, but at what cost? Strange things suddenly started to appear as soon as he showed up in your world. Sightings of things unbeknownst to both you and everyone else! Unexplained attacks, creature sightings, and strange noises coming from your nearby forest."
Alright hold up, how did he know about where I lived? There actually WAS a forest close to my house, and there WERE strange things happening here and there! How did he know about all of that? Either way, I still trusted Aden, there is no way that he had something to do with that!
Plus, there was a flaw in his logic, so I played it cool. I crossed my arms and said, "Those last ones may be true, but you're still wrong! Those things have already been happening WAY before that!" For a moment, I forgot about Link behind me, but then he stepped up next to me. "Adri, what 'r you"-
"Ah Adri, I apologize, I forgot that was already happening. After you lost somebody that was destined to die."
What was he talking about? I thought back to when I first heard about the creature appearances, and when they began. It was around March, day was out of the question, there were sightings of some creatures that was said to have a gray skin tone and an antenna. But wha-
I froze. I remembered what was before that. How could he possibly know about That?! Did the Fierce Deity know about that too?! My blood ran cold, I was legitimately creeped out now! Did that mean he also knew about Logan and Lora too?! But there was no way that Aden was the cause of all this, he showed up AFTER all of that!
I made my hands into fists, how DARE he bring that up?! I tried to save him, I really did! But it was my fault that I didn't, I set it off for all this time, but he brought it back to me now. I tried to be nice and happy, maybe even acting a little crazy too! But this, he was mocking me because of something I tried to do to help him! I kept telling myself in my head, 'Stay Calm, stay calm, don't freak out!'
"And to think, that you couldn't have done anything at all to help poor, little. Claus."
That name. THAT. NAME! This was my breaking point, I wouldn't let him mock Claus anymore! I tried to save him, but that THING stopped me! Well now, I couldn't bring Claus back, but I knew what I could do now. Fight for him.
"FUCK YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUU!"
A bright red flame completely engulfed me, and I began to grow. I kept growing, until I was taller than the castle itself. It was like my power level grew over however much a scouter can say. But this was no time for jokes, it was time to fight.
For Claus.
"You will not speak of him again you disgrace of a usurper!" I yelled. I felt energy surging throughout my body, and I could even picture myself transforming. My usually brown hair turning white, my eyes becoming the color of fire itself. And my voice sounded a little deeper, sounding like a twenty year old woman instead of a fifteen year old teenager.
I was also thankful that my clothes had grown with me, or else that would have been really weird.
"Disgrace? You should never call the King of Twilight a disgrace YOU INSOLENT LITTLE BRAT!" His voice boomed throughout Hyrule Field, and he began to grow as well. He grew until he was my height, and his face was filled with fury. This wasn't Hyrule anymore. This is.
ATTACK ON TITAN! (Highly suggest you play some Attack on Titan music now for an epicenes bonus. Or whatever epic battle music you can find)
I felt like I was now Frieda, and he was Grisha. This would be the Titan battle to end all Titan battles. I quickly rushed forward and grabbed Zant's shoulder pads. I threw him in the other direction of the Castle, and looked down to Link.
"Go and find Aden and Midna. This is my fight." He must have agreed with me, because he ran into Castle Town at full speeds. I turned back to Zant, who was getting back up on his feet. He revealed his scimitars from his robe and rushed towards me.
He tried to cut my arm, but I stepped back to dodge it. Again and again he tried to hit me, but I was too fast for him. I grabbed the blunt end of one of his blades and tore it from his grasp. I threw it far, far away out of Hyrule, never to have it be seen again.
I turned back to Zant, and he cut the side of my stomach. It went in deep, but I wasn't sure how much it went in. I felt no pain however, just a tiny little sting. When I looked down to it, the cut resealed itself, almost like it regenerated. I smiled, I felt like I was truly a Titan now.
I stared at Zant right in his ugly face. His face of rage turned into a face of uncertainty, of silent fear. I chuckled at his face and kicked him in the gut. He flew backwards, even spinning once in mid-air. He landed on his back with a skid, but he literally jumped back onto his feet.
He put his hands together and went into a battle stance. I knew what he was going to do, so I did it too. He began to fire purple energy blasts in my direction, and I countered them with my fireballs. When they hit, it let out a bright gray light that lasted for a split second. We kept firing energy blasts, constantly countering the other's firepower.
I began to walk slowly towards him, constantly thrusting my hands out to counter his energy blasts. Step after step, it began to become harder to keep up with the energy blasts. When I was about to reach him, a blast of his energy hit me.
This time, I felt pain. It was like a police man's Taser being thrust into my side. Once this happened, I stopped firing. Zant's energy blasts kept coming, and one after the other, they kept hitting me. It was agony, like how I was yelling from the unbearable pain. I was being knocked backwards with every hit. The energy blasts stopped, and I fell on my back.
I looked at myself, my red T-shirt of the DCMC was torn and tattered. Purple spots were here and there on my skin wherever I looked through the holes. My jeans were the same way, but they had less tears than my ruined shirt. I stood up, clutching the left side where it hurt the most.
Zant had disappeared, but I could still sense him here. I looked up, and saw him floating there. He had somehow made holograms of himself and split himself into four. He had begun to form a large purple energy blast to finish me off, like in Hyrule Warriors. But I wasn't just going to stand here and let him finish me.
So with the last of the power I had, I channeled it into my hands. I put the two together and put them to my side. I channeled all of my energy there, every last drop of it. And began to start up my big blast.
"Kaaaaaaaaah-Meeeeeeeeee" Zant's energy blast was still growing larger, and more powerful.
"HaaaAAAAAAAA-MEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" Zant finally released his energy blast, sending it down towards me fast. It was time to release.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" I thrust both of my hands upwards towards the energy blast. A bright blue energy beam came from my hands. The Kamehameha, a well-known attack from Dragon Ball.
Our attacks collided, and they didn't explode on contact. But rather, they pushed against each other trying to push the other back. It seemed that we were at a stalemate at first, but I realized that Zant's energy blast was slowly pushing against my beam and coming closer. It wasn't powerful enough yet, I had to grow stronger. I might pass out from energy loss, but it was my only hope in surviving.
"T-Times FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRR!" I yelled, pouring in all of my energy at once. The beam grew wider, and greatly pushed back the purple energy blast. It flew right back into Zant's ugly face! He flew back, and fell onto the ground.
I got onto my hands and knees, and felt myself begin to shrink. I kept shrinking until I got back to my regular size, becoming a small, helpless ant to Zant. I looked back up, Zant was still in his giant size. He took step after step towards me. I tried to get up and run, but I couldn't move at all. I didn't feel any more energy in myself anymore, I was defenseless.
He kept walking until he was right in front of me, staring down at the helpless woman I was. He raised his remaining scimitar into the air, and prepared to plunge it into me. He raised it high, and I closed my eyes to prepare myself for death.
But it never came.
I heard Zant gasp, like a fish trying to get some water into its gills. I looked back up, now feeling lightheaded. There was a giant golden arrow plunged straight through Zant's stomach. He dropped his large scimitar, and it fell into the grass and crushing some trees.
Then, an explosion of Twilit Particles came out from Zant, almost like a hurricane of them. It surrounded him completely, and I couldn't see him in it anymore. When it went away, Zant was back in his regular size. All of the Twilit Particles disappeared through the portal above the bridge.
I fell down and my face hit the ground. This battle was over. It may not have been permanent, but for now, Zant was defeated. Then I blacked out.
Here's to my longest chapter yet! Over 4,000 words! I hope you liked this, because I certainly did! And this took me almost half of the day to do! Well anyways, I hope you enjoyed this. And like always, make sure to Read, Review, and show this to your friends! (I think I'll just call it R,R&S) Bye!
