CHAPTER IX
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" He plummeted towards the earth at hundereds of miles per hour, and getting faster by the second. Zelda ran up opnto the stage and grabbed the TriForce of Wisdom that was in front of the podieum. As soon as her hand touched it, the idea immeditaly came into her head.
"DELLUM! USE YOU HOOKSHOT!" He heared her, and took out his hookshot and shot it at Ongan. It his his tail, and since the monster was flying with such power, he flew up in the air right beofre he hit the ground.
Ongan felt the tug and truned his head to see the hero climbing his hookshot. The monster flailed his tail madly, but Dellum grabbed on to it and onto the creatures back. He took out his sword and plunged it into Ongan's neck.
But had he died? No, not nearly. Screaming with pain, he fell into a tree and a branch stabbed into his eye.
"SSSSSSSSSCCCCCRRRRRREEEEEAAAAAA!!!!!!" It was a terrible sound, like fingers scraping on a chalkboard.
The moster swung his giant claw backwards. Dellum rolled out of the way, and Ongan stabbed himself in his verdibrate. This time he screamed even louder. Dellum took out his sword and cut off both of ther monster's wings. Then with the blood-covered sword, the stabbed it through Ongan's skull.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAA!"
"Man, you really are immortal."
"Damnit, you don't believe in immortality?" said the creature as he rammed Dellum with his heel. Dellum flew out of the tree and when he landed on the ground the wind was knocked out of him, and he was a bit dazed.
"We have to help him! Archers, fire!" Zelda called.
Arrows soared through the air, most of them just hitting the tree. "Is that all you can do? Fire anything you can! Everyone!"
All of the non-warriors threw rocks, not doing much, and the real fighters threw burning javelins and arrows.
The javelins did a lot of damage. The tree was now on fire, but the fire was only putting Ongan in pain, and it wasn't doing any damage.
From his position, all Dellum could do was fire arrows, and, like the other knights, they just hit the tree.
The monster did the only way of hurting people from the tree that he could. He turned his head twords Dellum, opened his mouth and fired acid blobs out of it. 3 missed him, but one landed right on his leg and it was burned off.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" The hero screamed in pain. He tried to stand up.
"No, Dellum, stay down. Our army will fight for you."
"Zelda, no. Please, I must fight."
"Dellum, you are missing a leg and it looks like your other one is broken, you have a giant scratch on your face, your arm is hanging by threadsDellum, you are in the worst possible positon to fight!" said the Princess.
"Zelda, I don't care. Ilook out!" An acid blob shot out of Ongans mouth straight at Zelda. "Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Dellum dived, despite his legs, and took the acid blob in the stomach for Zelda.
"Dellum!" cried the Princess. She ran over to his dying body. "Dellum" Zelda picked him up and rushed him to the castle.
The gate was locked.
The Princess grabbed Dellum's sword and stuck it in the lock. It didn't budge.
Then an ice cold grip fell upon Zelda's shoulder. She gasped and turned around.
There was Ongan, with a trail of dead knights behind him. He was scarred all over, and looked terrible.
"Looking for this?" He said, holding up the key.
"Give it." Said Zelda through gritted teeth.
"And let Dellum live? No chance in hell," Ongan said as her chucked the key into the lake. He raised back his gigantic claw, and slashed at the Princess. She grabbed Dellum's shield and blocked the attack.
Even though Ongan was scarred in every stop of his body and he was loosing blood fast, he had enough energy to fight still. He was powered by evil, and he hasn't lost any.
The monster jumped in the air and kicked Zelda in the chin. She staggered backwords and spat out some teeth and blood.
Ongan opened his mouth to shoot an acid blob.
Zelda saw him, and knew she was deffensless.
She saw the green form in the monsters mouth.
He arched back his neck.
Ongann was about to fire, but then he screamed in pain. He spun around.
"YOU!" he cried.
Zelda tried to see what was going on, but Ongan was in the way.
She saw a flash of green, but what was it?
"Argh!" went the person behind Ongan as he was punched and went flying in the air.
Was it
Could it be
"Luigi!" shouted Zelda as she ran over with Dellum's sword and shield.
Ok, ok, it was Link, but this story doesn't have enough humor in it, you gotta admit.
"You stay out of this!" snapped Ongan.
"And let Link die? No chance in hell," said Zelda as she tossed Dellums sword and shield to him.
"Thanks, Princess." Said Link as the threw the small dagger he was using to Zelda. "Use it to defend yourself ONLY. Don't join this battle."
"Defend myself, yeah, whatever," Zelda mumbled. She ran over to the lock and hacked away at it. She looked down at Dellum. "Hang in there, Dellum. Don't die yet." CHINK! The lock fell to the ground after a couple of minutes. Zelda picked up Dellum and ran with him to ther hospital wing. She found the docter huddled in a corner. "Heal Dellum, A.S.A.P.!" she yelled. "He is badly injured." The doctor lept up and immeditalty started chanting the healing spell.
It didn't work.
