Not that I know of, Ryoko may have been an inspiration but...nah; I don't think they are related, Reika is a name I used from a series called 'Strange Dawn'. I just needed a quick exit to the final battle ^_~ yeah I know I confused you all but hey! We got here! I'm sorry!!!! It's been ages since I wrote, but I was trying to make it a long chapter!



"Back so soon?" Reika smirked at us in a pitiful heap on the floor

"Great idea Link" I groaned shoving him off my legs "Have the Stalfos carry us, real fun"

"Shut up" Link scrambled to his feet and stood proudly in front of Reika, a bit difficult when we were all stumbling behind him

"Well mortal?" Reika asked standing to face this obstacle "What are you here for?"

"I challenge you to a duel!" Link shouted loudly drawing his sword

"A duel?" Reika sniffed underneath the mask "How quaint, why?"

"I challenge you to a duel, a fight to the death, whoever wins...well, they live"

"Very well" Reika said casting aside her robe revealing a white suit of armour like material and a huge sword

"Two conditions!" Link said as he walked forward

"Name them" Reika snapped

"One. No magic, pure power only"

Reika nodded casting aside Majora's Mask, which went up in smoke.

"Two. Leave the others out of this" he jerked his head at us

At this we all started to protest rather abusively and loudly.

"Done" a barrier of fire went up in a circle around the combatants, shutting him in and use out

We backed away from the wall carefully.

"Well done Link," I screamed through the fire at him "Get yourself killed!"

"Link you dummy! What did you do that for?" Kestrel joined in

Lucy sat on the floor "May as well watch"

I stared at her "What the F*** are you doing?"

"Watching"

"WHY?"

"We can't really do anything" Lucy said calmly "If all you've told me about Link is true then he can't lose can he"

"I guess..."

"Then sit"

I sat grumpily staring through the impassable wall "How can you be so calm?"

"I'm not calm" Lucy said spacing out for a moment

"I'm certainly not" Kestrel said through gritted teeth "Look at that, Link's a rag doll out there"

The battle had begun and Link was being forced back against the wall with every blow. Like the battle with Gannondorf the ring of fire kept out all interference. And where was Navi at a time like this?

Link, although being forced back, seemed to hold his own until he singed his back on the wall of fire which gave Reika the chance she needed to slice her sword across his front scraping his chest as soon as she had done that he rolled away gasping toward the centre of the ring again.

Reika approached cautiously as Link adjusted his sword grip again.

I don't think I had breathed for the last few minutes and I let out a big sigh as the wound didn't seem to affect Link at all.

They met with swords again and swung with momentum off each other to twist round again to strike from an angle, Link twisted his sword round in an arc to strike at Reika's side, she dodged away to the edge of the ring panting.

"You're good," she said stonily "As good as the legends say, even better perhaps, but this is starting to bore me"

"Then let's finish it" Link leapt at her once more

What happened next was completely out of my perception, one minute Link was running at the Majin, the next she had him on the floor submitting almost.

She stood over him pushing her sword down while Link struggle to hold his sword up to push hers away with what looked like great difficulty.

"Get up Link" Lucy called "You can beat her"

I felt my stomach jump with nerves as the two sides were at a stalemate for a moment.

"Come on Link" Kestrel yelled "Or I'm going to ram myself into this wall"

"SHUT UP!" Link cried through gritted teeth, "I am trying to concentrate here you know"

"Get real! Like your going to beat her" Lucy shouted grinning, "We're giving pep talk Link!"

"I don't need it" Link replied angrily tossing Reika with his feet so she slid backwards over the smooth floor

Lucy whispered in my ear "I think if we make him angry he'll have more luck"

I looked at her, her eyes were bright with held back tears but she was smiling hopefully and her cheeks were pink with excitement.

I smiled at her reassuringly "Let's try it shall we?"

"Link if you don't win I'm going to tell Zelda you hit my friend!" Lucy yelled gleefully

Link swung his sword round and it bit into Reika's shoulder with a screech.

"When you lose I'm going to kill myself!" I joined in waving one of the Stalfos' swords around

Another jab from Link causing Reika to nearly fall into the wall of fire, it burned steadily behind her.

You could see sweat dripping from both of them.

I thought for a moment that it was going to be all right, Link was winning, and he was driving Reika back with more force than she could muster against him physically.

Then something awful happened.

I don't think Reika took the fact Link was winning too well. She cheated.

Straightening up, Reika threw her sword into the air. Mistaking this for a forfeit Link started to rush forward with his sword raised. Reika dodged with speed that no human could ever match, her magic splurging out in a flicker of speed like wind behind Link. The sword came down in a spinning arc and landed perfectly in Reika's hand.

She pulled back before he even had a chance to turn round.

The sword went straight through him.

Silence.

Thud. Thud.

My heart beat filled my eardrums as my stomach dropped out of my body and I was swallowed by darkness that could only have been unconsciousness. A most spectacular movie faint I would say.
