Chapter 11: Link and Zelda vs. Psyclown and Black Ninja
"So you two are going to fight in a team? What are your names?" one of the organisors asked. "I'm Link and this babe is Zelda." Link said with a grin. Zelda gave him a poke in the stomach. "Okay, you're noted." the woman said, writing something in a notepad. Link and Zelda were on the field where the fights would take place. The platforms were orderly placed on the field, there was a total of nine platforms. Around each platform stood a huge stand for the spectators. It was quiete crowdy and the fighters were called one by one if it was their turn to fight. Link didn't like it. He preferred last year's tournament. It was smaller back then, and less crowdy as well. The two Hylians weren't first. Link heard several names being called for the free-for-all's. The stands got filled as soon as it was known who would fight where. Link didn't hear a familiar name, so he sat down on the grass, followed by Zelda. She wrapped her arms around her legs. "Was last year just like this?" she asked. Link shook his head. "No, there are way more fighters." He studied her for a second. "Still nervous?" Zelda nodded. "Don't worry. It will go over once you fight your first fight, believe me," Link said as he put a comforting hand on her shoulder. She gave him a sweet smile. "Where do you think Donkey and Fox are?" she asked. "I have no idea." Link said as he faintly shrugged his shoulders. He looked at Zelda and his eyes grew bigger. "Oh my!" he yelled. Zelda frowned a little and startled. "What's up?" she asked concerned. Link caressed her face. "You're beautifull!" Zelda laughed. "And you're a nuttcase!" Zelda moved to Link's side and cuddled against him. After a while, they heard the voice of one of the organisors: "Link and Zelda, team battle against Black Ninja and Psyclown, stage 4." The two Hylians stood up. "Showtime, Your Highness." "I guess so," Zelda said, swallowing, not paying attention to what Link had said. Link took her hand in his and they went to stage 4. It wasn't hard to find. They walked through the opening between the stands around it. Link saw a few familiar faces: The entire Kong family was gathered on the stands, as well as the friends of Zelda and Fox' wingmen. There were also strange men in black suits, wearing masks, probably relatives of the ninja and men in neat suits, some wearing sunglasses. Zelda was impressed by it all, but Link remained calm. "What a show-off's!" he murmered. Link climbed on the platform and helped Zelda on it. They were encouraged by the cheers of the Kongs, Lylatans, Hylians, the Zora, the Kokiri and the Sheikah. Zelda smiled and put on her mask while Link unsheathed his sword and readied his shield. "I wonder who our opponents are," Link said. He had barely said it when two figures climbed on the stage. One was completely dressed in black and jumped on the stage using multiple flips. He wore a black mask, just like the men on the stand. He was armed with a long, thin sword, a katana. Only his eyes were visible. His partner was indeed a weird one. It was a clown with big shoes, a shield and a big hammer. The shield had sharp spikes at the side and he had a punk, red haircut. His face wasn't painted happy, but evil, with a big grin filled with sharp teeth. He laughed high and sharply, a frightening sight. Zelda did a step back as the two opponents were encouraged by their supporters. "Talk about mentally disturbed..." Link commented brightly. "What a morons!" Funky said on the stand. "For this time, I don't disagree with you, Funky," Cranky, sitting next to the surfer, said. Donkey and Fox were competitors, so they weren't on the stands. A narrator stood next to the platform. He looked at both the teams. "If you're knocked off, you're out. Ready?" Link and the ninja nodded, while Zelda just stared at the clown. Psyclown looked at her and licked his teeth with his unnaturally long tongue. Link noticed it and said, "Don't let me down, Zelda." Zelda quickly looked at him. "I... I won't." "Three... Two... One... GO!!" the narrator yelled. Psyclown pointed his hammer at Zelda. "You're going down, sweetie!" he lisped with a high, yet dark voice. "We'll see who's going down, you... you demonic clown!" Zelda tried to look tough, but it didn't really impres the opposing side. Link easily walked towards the opponents. Black Ninja was carefull not to underestimate Link and he tried to flank him. Link let him make his move while he didn't take his eye away from the clown. Suddenly, the man pointed his blade up in the sky and he vanished! Link swiftly looked around, not knowing what would happen as the ninja's on the stand yelled. Zelda closed her eyes and focused. When she opened her eyes, she pointed her hands in front of her and a ball of yellow magic shot from her hands. It exploded next to Link and a yellow wave of energy shot all over the stage. As soon as the energy reached the ninja's position, his invisiblity disappeared and he became visible. He stood right behind Link. Black Ninja had yet to realize that he wasn't invisible anymore and he kept walking towards Link. Psyclown wanted to say something, but Link quickly turned around and hacked down at the man. "Don't you even try fancy tricks on me!" Link said as the man flew towards Zelda. She saw him coming and as soon as he reached her, she made a high uppercut and Black Ninja fell a bit further from her on the platform under the victorious cries of the supporters of Link and Zelda. Link smiled at Zelda. "Nice magic, babe," he said, encouraging. "LINK! Watch out!" Zelda said, just before Link felt an enormous blow from Psyclown's hammer striking him on his back. And another blow and another one which made him fall to the ground. Cranky jumped up from his seat as Funky and Dixy grabbed him at both arms. "That's cheating! You miserable piece of modern entertainment!" the old monkey yelled at Psyclown, waving his crane. "Easy, gramps! Don't hurt him." Funky said, right before he felt a blow from Cranky's crane. "I am NOT your gramps!" Zelda ran towards Psyclown and jumped high in the air as she placed her feet forward. Right before her feet hit the clown on his chest, Black Ninja grabbed her feet and threw her back on the ground. Zelda landed painfully on her back. Before Zelda could stand up, the ninja kicked her in her side. Hard. He wasn't really a gentleman. Zelda immediatly curled up as a reaction. In the meantime, Psyclown laughed hysterically as he pounded his hammer on Link's back over and over again. Link just waited for the demonic clown to make a mistake. Then, he made one. He ceased his hammering for a moment and lifted his hammer up in the air. "I'm TOO good!" he yelled, pleasing his ego. "No, you're just plain dumb." Link said as he used his arms to turn himself on his back. He pulled his legs back as Psyclown realized his stupid mistake. Link used his arms to get up a little, and then Psyclown felt the hard hit of two brown Hylian boots on his chest, making him fall on his back. Link quickly stood up and turned around just in time to see Zelda being kicked by Black Ninja. He quickly did a step forward and sliced low at the man. The shining steel hit the man on the hollows of his knees and he sunk to the ground quicker than Link had anticipated. "That's no way to treat a lady." Link said angry. Zelda used the time Link gave her to stand up. Link looked at her for a second. "You okay?" Zelda remained silent and quickly pulled out some knifes from her belt. Link looked at her in surprise as she threw the knives in his direction. The metal objects missed him by an inch and Link heard Psyclown's tormented cry. He saw the ninja on his knees, trying to get up. He jumped high in the air and, while returning to the platform, he pointed his sword down, holding it steady between his knees. The sword struck the man full on his back and he collapsed back on the ground. Zelda ran towards Psyclown, who had stumbled to the edge of the platform, thanks to Zelda's knives. Psyclown wanted to raise his shield, but Zelda wasn't planning what the clown expected her to do. She made a slight jump as she placed her feet forward and flew past his side as she grabbed Psyclown at his neck. She dragged him with her in her flight. Zelda saw the edge of the platform closing in fast. Everything happened just as she had hoped. She turned around a bit as she flew past the edge. Psyclown was a bit behind her and didn't make it. His back struck the edge and right at that moment, Zelda let him go and she used her other hand to grab the edge of the platform. Psyclown's back made an unhealthy angle as he bounced away from the platform and down to the ground. Zelda looked releaved at the clown as he hit the ground next to the platform. She used her free hand to help the other one in lifting her back on the platform. "Go, Zellie!" Saria yelled. "Wow! Girl has some moves," Chunky said with his low voice. "Hah! You had it coming, you dirty cheater! Wait 'till I'm done with you!" Cranky yelled. "Did you see that? Did you see that? Man, I'm glad I'm NOT in this fight." Falco said. Link stood next to the ninja and leaned on his sword as he waited patiently for the man to stand up. He saw how Zelda had 'removed' Psyclown of play. "Zelda, did I mention how good you are?" Zelda walked towards him and stood next to him. "More than once. But what about him?" She pointed at the man who still lay on his stomach. "Oh, yeah. Will you jump off yourself or do we have to help you?" Link asked. "A ninja never gives up!" the man said with an oriental accent. "Fine. Suit yourself." Zelda expected Link to make a move, but he just kept leaning on his sword. The ninja stood up and readied his katana. Zelda wanted to grab the remaining knives from her belt, but Link made a gesture with his arm. "No, Zelda. He's mine." The two men started to walk around in circles, carefull as they were. "You're a brave young man... or a fool." the ninja said coldly. Link's eyes narrowed. "I'm both," he said right before the two engaged in a furious sword play. They were both very skilled with the blade, so neither gained any advantage as they continued to hit each other's swords. Left, right, up, down, parry, strike... The ninja backed off for a second. "You're not bad." he said, twirling his sword. "You're not too sabby either." Link said. The ninja charged at him, but used his other hand to grab a few star-shaped blades, about the size of an apple. Link didn't notice it and slashed in the direction of the man. Black Ninja jumped backwards high in the air and at the same time threw the blades towards Link. The Hylian felt a sting shoot through his body each time he was hit by a blade. Suddenly, everything got a bit foggy and Link shook his head to clear it, but it didn't work. He stumbled backwards in surprise. "What the..." he murmered. He heard the ninja: "A very effective poison, my friend." He saw a vague black figure running towards him as he tried to raise his shield. It was no use. His strength was sapped by the poison. He saw another figure running towards him. It was a blue one. The black and the blue collided and Link heard a familiar female voice. "That's not fair!" Link tried to regain his senses, but his body sank to the floor. He faintly saw the black person falling down and he saw the blue one running towards him. He felt Zelda's caring hands on his back and chest, as a sign that she didn't know how to help him. Link saw the black one coming again and he tried to warn Zelda, but he was too weak to speak. Zelda suddenly felt two arms around her throat. The ninja smelled victory and that gave him some fighting spirit. He had sheathed his sword. He pulled Zelda up with his arms still around her throat as Zelda tried to break free. She couldn't escape from the man's grip and felt her air being cut off as Black Ninja walked to the edge of the platform. The absense of air didn't kill her. She just felt dizzy and weak. As Link witnessed the whole scene, his mind cleared up a bit. The poison was very short-lived, but he still wasn't strong enough to stand up, let alone fight. "Hey... idiot!" he yelled. Link's diversion worked. The ninja expected Link to attack and quickly turned around as he let Zelda go. Zelda landed on her knees and coughed. The ninja realized his mistake, but didn't had time to regret it. Still coughing, Zelda kicked the man backwards on his back and he fell, face down, on the floor. The ninja immediatly stood up and yelled, "You'll regret that, girl!" He jumped towards Zelda, his sword at the ready. Zelda saw it coming and quickly turned on her back and placed her feet up. The ninja landed neatly on her feet and she launched the man over the edge of the platform as she rolled backwards to give more strength to her kick. She stopped right before the edge as the man landed on his back next to the platform. She stood up and ran towards Link who tried to get up as the narrator yelled: "Blue team wins!!" Zelda helped Link up on his feet. Before she was able to say anything, Link asked, still a bit confused, "We were blue?" Zelda laughed as she removed her mask under the cheers of their supporters. "Cranky, stop!" Diddy yelled as he ran after the old monkey, who walked towards Psyclown, his crane high in the air. "YOU UNFAIR TROLL!! WITH YOUR OVERSIZED SHOES AND YOUR RIDICULOUS HAIR!!" Psyclown was surprised by the old monkey. Cranky started to hammer his crane in Psyclown's side and on his legs. It wasn't possible for the monkey to get higher. "When I was your age, we had REAL clowns who didn't attack people in their backs!" Cranky said, furious. Link laughed as he witnessed the scene. Suddenly, between all the laughs and cheers, Link heard a too familiar voice. "Very good. VERY good." Link turned to the source of the sentences and saw Ganondorf with an evil smile on his face. Zelda backed away and stood behind Link. "You again?" Link said, irritated. "Yes, it's me again. I wanted to see my precious princess in action." Link noticed the word 'my' and he didn't like it. "I'm not your property!" Zelda said. Ganondorf smiled false. "Oh, but you kind of have been..." "She's not yours, old man. I suggest you get off her back before something really bad happens to you." Link said threatening. "And who will do this bad thing to me?" Ganondorf said, frowning. "The way I see it, Zelda is even more capable than you are and YOU are supposed to protect her? Please, don't make me laugh," he said, without even the slightest grin on his face. He jumped high in the air and landed on the platform. "Get off the platform, sir. It's not your turn yet," the narrator said as a reaction to Ganondorf's move. Ganondorf turned around to the man and pointed a finger towards him. A yellowish ball of magical energy shot from the tip of his finger and raced towards the man. When it hit him, he flew back a couple of meters and landed right in front of one of the stands. This action did not go unnoticed by the people on those stands and Cranky stopped his furious hammering and looked in Ganondorf's direction like the rest of the crowd did. "I don't like interruption." Ganondorf said calmly as he turned back to Link and Zelda again. "What is your business with the princess?" Link asked before Ganondorf could say something. Ganondorf smiled mean. "I want to please her like I did two years ago." Zelda's frightened reaction did not go unnoticed by Link and suddenly, it struck him. Ganondorf's words made him know what had happened between the young princess and the obviously evil wizard. Link eyes narrowed and he did a step forward as he looked into Ganondorf's eyes. "You dirty, disgusting piece of shit..." Link murmered. "I won't let you do that again." Ganondorf suddenly grabbed Link at his collar with one hand and lifted him high up in the air. "So your pathetic mind has finally figured it out? Very good. But you must know you can't defeat me." He punched Link in the face and threw him high up in the air. He caught Link with his fist and hit him on his back. Link bounced off of it and landed on his stomach on the floor. Zelda kneeled next to her boyfriend to check if he was okay. "You dirty Goblin!" Cranky yelled from the side of the platform. Ganondorf slowly turned to the monkey. "Shut up, old fool. Before I disintegrate you." Ganondorf suddenly felt a steel sword on his back and he stumbled forward. It was followed by a strong kick and then another one. He stumbled forward and fell of the platform as he waved his arms in the air to keep his balance. It looked really ridicilous and laughs started to rise from the crowd. "I don't like being hit by one such as ugly as you!" Link said angry. Ganondorf pointed an angry finger at the young man. "This isn't over yet, Hylian! I'll get her, whatever it takes!" Having said these words, Ganondorf stood up and walked away from the platform.
"So you two are going to fight in a team? What are your names?" one of the organisors asked. "I'm Link and this babe is Zelda." Link said with a grin. Zelda gave him a poke in the stomach.

There were also strange men in black suits, wearing masks, probably relatives of the ninja and men in neat suits, some wearing sunglasses. Zelda was impressed by it all, but Link remained calm. "What a show-off's!" he murmered. Link climbed on the platform and helped Zelda on it. They were encouraged by the cheers of the Kongs, Lylatans, Hylians, the Zora, the Kokiri and the Sheikah.

He caught Link with his fist and hit him on his back. Link bounced off of it and landed on his stomach on the floor. Zelda kneeled next to her boyfriend to check if he was okay. "You dirty Goblin!" Cranky yelled from the side of the platform. Ganondorf slowly turned to the monkey. "Shut up, old fool. Before I disintegrate you." Ganondorf suddenly felt a steel sword on his back and he stumbled forward. It was followed by a strong kick and then another one. He stumbled forward and fell of the platform as he waved his arms in the air to keep his balance. It looked really ridicilous and laughs started to rise from the crowd. "I don't like being hit by one such as ugly as you!" Link said angry. Ganondorf pointed an angry finger at the young man. "This isn't over yet, Hylian! I'll get her, whatever it takes!" Having said these words, Ganondorf stood up and walked away from the platform.
