YAY! A whole chapter, all to myself!
Makoto (who has become a shoulder angel): But what about chapter 9? You did that on your own...
Guru-Guru: Shut up! I'm supposed to be happy here!
Makoto: Yeah, but you do owe a lot to Blu. I mean, not only has she written at least two chapters worth of this story, but she's also helped you when you had writers block on more than one occasion.
Guru-Guru: Are you trying to make me feel guilty?
Makoto: No, now start the chapter!
Guru-Guru: Fine. This chapter is for all those readers who have been waiting for a resolution. This is it. Oh, yeah. Supposedly, the katanas wielded by Ganondorf in TWW say Koume and Kotake on them. Or was it Zubora and Gabora? Whatever. We're assuming the former here.
Kimiko's Quest
Chapter 11
Day Six: 12:45 PM
Kimiko's POV
Outside the Spirit Temple (Sacred Realm)
This was a losing battle. When Blu... When I lost Blu, I stopped trying as hard. I knew it was important, but I just couldn't do it. Ganondorf had whipped out twin katanas, and I was fighting with the Master Sword. My magic reserves were running low, since I'd only had a week to develop my powers. I couldn't hold out much longer. I'd taken a few hits, and I couldn't hold out much longer. I had enough magic left for a couple spells.
I stunned Ganondorf with a Deku Nut and tried to heal myself. It would have worked, but Ganondorf was squinting at just the right time and missed the full effects of the Deku Nut. As I was casting my spell, he bumped me, and instead of coming down on me, the spell flew through the middle of the Triforce and towards the temple. I went back to defending myself the best I could, but my injuries were taking their toll. I was about to give up when I heard Tobu-Ken's voice.
"She's alive! Blu's alive!"
"WHAT?!"
"The Triforce must have amplified the healing spell! It hit her body and she started breathing again! You have to get her spirit back to her body!" That's when the bottle started to shake. I couldn't talk to Blu, but I knew she was awake in there.
Blu's POV
I woke up in the bottle to see Ganondorf coming at Kimiko. There was no way she could block that, so I tried the only thing I could think of. I tried to cast fox fire around her, and it worked. The fire made Ganondorf's katanas too hot to hold, and he dropped them. I moved the fox fire around him, holding him in place. Just then, Kimiko hit the ground. I wasn't sure what was happening, but I could tell that we were moving.
Kimiko's POV
Blu's fox fire gave me enough time to get over to her body. I crawled as fast as I could, given my injuries. When I reached her body, I uncorked the bottle that held her spirit. The wispy fox moved into her body, and her eyes flew open. "I bet you thought this would be the other way around. But, I guess you're going to be the one who survives."
Blu's POV
It wasn't until I woke up in my own body that I saw Kimiko's wounds. She would die, soon. With all these distractions, it was a miracle that the fox fire around Ganondorf had stayed put! As Kimiko started to lose consciousness, I became aware of some new power inside of me. "You're wrong. Only one of us three is going to die, and it's not going to be either of the two of us." Muttering words I'd never heard before, I became aware of a white light coming from my fingertips. Kimiko's wounds healed, and I saw the color come back to her face. This wasn't over yet.
Kimiko's POV
Blu's healing spell brought back both my health and my magic. I was ready to fight again. I got up and drew the Master Sword again. I nodded at Blu, and she lowered the fox fire. Ganondorf started to charge at us, but Blu and I teleported to the sides of where he would hit the temple wall. I forced as much magic into my blade as I could, and I'm sure that Blu was doing the same. We both swung our swords at Ganondorf as he ran past, and the blast nearly blinded us. When my vision returned, all that remained of Ganondorf was a pile of ashes.
Blu's POV
"It's over, isn't it Kimiko?" She nodded at me. "You know, I remember everything about my past life, now. I died of loneliness. I know almost everything. But, there's one thing more I'd like to find out. How did I get powers like yours?"
"We were both born with some connection to the Triforce. With me, it was that my parents each held part of the Triforce. You, on the other hand, held the Triforce in a past life. You just learned of this past life, and you were revived by the Triforce. Here. Take another look at my letter. I have a feeling there's something you'll be able to see that you couldn't before." She handed me the parchment, and I immediately noticed the extra paragraph.
Another thing you need to know about is your friend Kitsune. In a past life, the fox spirit inside her held the Triforce. Because of this, Kitsune is as powerful as you, but you can't tell her. You can show her this letter, but she won't see this part. She'll need to unlock it on her own somehow. You'll help, but unintentionally. Just remember, Kitsune is just as important as you accomplishing the task we are about to give you.
"So your unintentional help was when that healing spell misfired. Well, I guess this was destiny. All the way back to when my mom got locked alone in the Sacred Realm."
"Yep. But it's over now. All we need to do is touch the Triforce and bring it back."
"We'll take care of that." Kimiko's parents, Zelda, and Tael walked out of the Spirit Temple.
I'm sure there's quite a few people who will be happy with that. I'm not sure where to go after this story, but I'll think of something. I've been stuck like this once before, at the end of The Switch, but I got out of that jam, and I think I can get out of this one. It might involve more than I want to think about right now, but I think I can pull it off. Oh, and for anyone who didn't catch it, I just provided for a way for Ganondorf to get out of the Sacred Realm for TWW. Think about it. I'll explain in the next chapter. Hurrah! (I don't know where that came from...)
