Authors note: This is going to be the last chapter because honestly writing this story is getting kind of boring so I'll just end it here and be done with it. Okay? Good now here is the last chapter.
Malon clutched Link tightly. She knew he was gone but didn't want to believe it. Small crystalline tears fell down her cheeks as she started to cry. "*Sniffle* I love you." She whispered into his unhearing ears.
She stayed that way for an hour until there was a soft knock on the door. "Malon? Are you and Link all right?" asked Impa's voice.
"No… he's dead." Malon murmured.
Voices could be heard outside and a high-pitched wail sounded. The cry was quickly hushed and the doorknob turned. Impa peeked in and shook her head. She turned to the side and called for a couple servants then walked into the room.
"Come on Malon." She said then grabbed the girl quickly wrapping a sheet around her.
A couple of male servants came in and wrapped Link's body up and carried him out.
"NO! Don't take him away! Leave him alone!" Malon screamed.
Impa's hand clamped over the girls' mouth and she dragged Malon out of the room. Zelda came in and helped her. Malon's cries could be heard down the hall as she screamed for Link. Strangely, the young man heard her and his eyes twitched then once again fell deathly still.

A couple days later everyone sat around the Hero's grave, sullen expressions on their faces. The ebony wood coffin stood over the newly dug grave. Link lay in the coffin comfortably dressed in a black tunic, tights and his silver gauntlets. A silver, sapphire studded sword clasped in his hands.
Malon, Zelda, Shiek and Impa sat at the front, the Queen holding her now crying friend. Rauru walked to the podium set up in front and started his little speech sermon thing.
***
"Link…Link… what are you doing Link?"
"Nothing I'm dead." He replied sarcastically to the shadowy specter.
"Don't get smart with me kid. You shouldn't be dead. It's WAY to early, so go on back there. Your girl misses ya." The specter said then pointed a bony finger at him.
Link's body was surrounded by a gold aura and he disappeared in a flash of light.
***
The surrounding Castle guard stood in armed salute as a team of grave workers began to lower the coffin into the grave. Malon stared at the coffin and burst into tears. Zelda held her tightly and started crying herself.
"Malon… please don't cry."
Everyone jumped and looked around. "Shiek, did you hear that? It sounded like Link." Zelda said.
"Yea I heard it, maybe were just hearing things."
There was a loud thumping and all eyes turned to the coffin. The banging continued until the ebony lid started to splinter.
"Quick! Open it up!" the Queen commanded.
The hinges were unlatched and the lid flew open. "Phew it's cramped in there. Hey everyone! Oh nice sword! Can I keep it?" Link exclaimed as he sat up.
The whole groups' jaws dropped through the ground as they stared at him in disbelief.
Link grinned and put a hand behind his head, "Yeah, I know its odd but I'm back and ready to kick Grangon's scaly ass!"
Malon quickly snapped out of the stupor and ran over to him. "Oh Link! Your back, but how?"
"All I know is that I was standing in this area of complete darkness and this shadowy guy came up to me and said it wasn't my time. Then I ended up back here." He replied.
"I'm glad your back!" she said as she hugged him.
Everyone snapped out of it and ran over to him. "I'm so glad you didn't leave us!" Zelda exclaimed.
"Yea! I don't think I could have taken revenge on Gran-thingy all by myself." Shiek said.
"I'm glad I'm back too. The whole dead thing after sex is weird." Link explained, winking at Malon.
"Well since you're all right, we should get Grangon for what he did to you guys." Malon said.
"Yea… what should I do with this coffin and the whole funeral?" Zelda asked.
"Well um… I really like this coffin so could I keep it until whenever my time is?" Link suggested.
"Sure, why not. Now let's get back to the castle."
All of the guests were sent home and the grave was filled in. The young group traveled back to the castle in silence, a cheerful smile was plastered on Malon's face as she led him back to the castle.
Once they reached the palace they all ran upstairs to the library and sat around the fireplace. Servants came and lit the fireplace and brought the group some wine.
"So how are we going to do this?" Shiek asked as he sipped at his drink.
"Well… we could try attacking after dark, preferably around midnight when most of the guards are asleep." Link offered.
"Sounds reasonably do you think we could help you two?" Zelda questioned.
"Only if you bring a couple soldiers and arm yourselves with something." Shiek replied.
"Then it's settled then! Should we do it tonight or later?" Malon asked.
"How about tonight, I owe that asshole for nearly killing me." Link exclaimed.
"Good, I'll get everything set up then." The queen announced.
"I'll be going too."
Everyone turned and looked toward the door. Impa was leaning in the doorway with a slight smirk on her face.
Shiek nodded and smiled warmly, "Thanks sis!"
"It's the least I could do. It's my duty to protect the queen and I still owe Link for saving my butt in the Shadow temple." Impa said.
"Heh, this is going to be fun." Link smiled and leaned back in his chair.
The group laughed and started to lay out the plans for the attack.
***
It's 12 o' clock and the small band of fighters stood near the entrance to Grangon's lair.
Link, Shiek, Malon, Zelda, Impa and a score and a half of the kingdom's best soldiers stood around the moat.
Zelda was armed with bow and arrow and a long dagger, Malon with a light sword (Link had given her lessons), Impa with a spear and the two young men with their sword and rapier.
"Okay everyone know what they are supposed to do?" Link whispered.
Everyone nodded.
"Okay, follow me!"
Link jumped down first followed by Shiek, the women, then the soldiers. The Hero checked the entrance cave for mini-Grangons then turned to the others. He divided them into two groups, him and Shiek took ten of the soldiers and the other twenty stayed with the women.
"All right, Impa, you take out as many of those little buggers as possible and we'll take care of dragon boy." Shiek said.
The two teams split up, whispering good lucks to each other.
The boys ran to the main chamber and saw Grangon sitting at his normal place.
The monster looked up at them and gasped, "What! LINK! You should be dead!"
Link smirked and leaned on his sword, "Nah! I can't be killed that easily."
Grangon smirked and stood up, " Well no matter, I will destroy you, but now I have to run. See ya!" He threw down a deku nut and disappeared in a flash (or you could say he threw down the nut then hauled ass out the door, which ever you prefer).
"Aww! The coward! That's one thing all the magical baddies have in common, they're all cucco shits!" Link growled.
"Well we better find him before he finds the girls." Shiek yelled as he ran out the door closely followed by Link and the soldiers.
The girls were finishing off the last remaining off the mini-Grangons having found the many barracks that the little monsters reside in.
"That makes 799!" Impa shouted as she impaled the last two with her spear.
The room they were in was covered with blood and guts. Body parts and brains were splattered against the wall. Only one person in the group was a killed, which was a soldier because he wasn't paying attention, which is a flaw that ALL castle guards seem to have.
"Well that's all of them. Now what do we do?" Malon asked.
"YOU DIE!"
Everyone turned around and stared at the granite dragon.
"Wh…what! Where's Link and Shiek?" Zelda asked.
"Those fools are probably running around blind looking for me. While they're lookin' I think I'll kill you all!" Grangon threw a giant ball of energy at them.
They all jumped out of the way and dodged behind a stalagmite.
Impa peeked out, ducking quickly to avoid having her head blown off.
"What are we going to do?" Malon asked.
"No idea, I already know the soldiers are either dead or dying."
Zelda threw her hands up in the air and shook her head. "Why did we even bring them along?"
"As bait." Malon replied as she reflected an energy ball back at Grangon.
"If the guys don't find us soon we're goners!" the older woman shouted.
There was sudden silence and then shouting and a loud explosion.
Zelda peered out and saw Shiek and Link surrounded by 50 or so more mini-Grangons.
"Where did they come from? I thought we killed them all."
Fighting broke out and the two young men and the remaining soldiers fought hard against the monsters.
"Come on we have to help them!" Impa shouted.
The girls ran out and started to hack at the lizards. The fight was over quickly with our heroes the victor.
"Well it seems that you disposed of my forces rather quickly." Grangon grumbled.
"Well duh!" Shiek smirked.
Grangon grimaced and took off down another corridor.
"After him!" Link shouted.
The troop chased after their foe shouting obscenities. They continued to chase him until he turned into a dead end.
"We have you cornered coward." Link grinned, pulling out his sword.
"I see, I think we'll just turn the tables then." Grangon raised his hands in the air and there was a bright flash of light.
"What's going on?" A soldier asked.
The bright light faded and they found themselves in an endless room of black.
"This reminds me of the place I was in when I died." Link stated.
"Really? Well you better get used to it because you aren't leaving here alive! Mwahahahahahahaa!" Grangon's voice rang.
Link looked around the area and searched for their enemy. "COME OUT AND FIGHT YOU LOSER!!" He shouted.
A gush of wind blew past him and the heads of two soldiers slid off their shoulders.
Malon gasped and looked at Link. He seemed lost for words.
Grangon continued to do this until the only ones left were Link, Shiek, Zelda, Malon and Impa. They moved backwards toward each other, their weapons at the ready.
"Hahahahaha! It's time to finish you all off!" Dragon-man ran around them, picking up speed.
"This is our last chance to kill this fuck! When I give the word everyone thrust your weapon forward." Link explained.
They nodded and waited for his signal.
"NOW!" They all thrust simultaneously and winced and at the scream the sounded.
"Who got him?" Shiek asked.
"I don't." Link said.
"Neither do I." Impa replied.
"I didn't either." Zelda responded.
"I did." Malon whispered.
Everyone turned at looked at the writhing monster impaled on her sword. It had gone straight through his heart.
Grangon stared down at the wound in shock. "How?" he gagged.
"Now ain't that a bitch! We go through the trouble to kill you and Malon's the one that finally does it." Link grinned at his dying enemy.
"*Coughs out blood* I hate you! I hate all of you! I curse you, you bastards!" Grangon rasped.
"Yea, yea. We've heard that line before. C'Mon Malon, pull it out so we can leave." Link said.
Malon smirked and turned the sword before pulling it out making Grangon scream in pain. The dragon placed his hand over the opening and glared at the group with malice.
"I won't let you leave here, you will die along with me!" He pointed a finger at them but only a slight wisp of smoke escaped.
"I've taken your powers away, you won't need them we're your going." Zelda told him.
The others crowded around her and smiled. "Bye Grany!" They waved and disappeared in a flash of light.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!! CURSE YOU SORRY FUCKS!" Grangon yelled to no one. Suddenly his head exploded and a slight giggle filled the air. The cloaked figure that had spoken to Link earlier materialized in front of the body.
"You were one sorry mother fucker." He shook his head and disappeared.
Back in Hyrule, the group stood around the entrance to Grangon's cave.
"Let's just seal this up." Link said as he dropped the giant boulder into the hole. "Golden gauntlets rock."
"Now that that's over with, let's go back to the castle and have a party to celebrate!" The queen exclaimed.
They all rushed back to the castle and a quick party was set up in the market. All of the town dwellers came and to party even though they didn't know why they were celebrating for.
Everyone showered with alcohol and when the party was over with, everyone was drunker than … however drunk a person can get. (I wouldn't know, I don't drink ^_^)
Link, Malon, Zelda and Shiek all staggered into the castle and up to the library were they collapsed.
"*Hic* Look at meee! I am the Queen of Hyrule, I shouldn't *hic * be drunk." Zelda slurred.
"Yesh! We know!" Malon mumbled the passed out.
"I'd like to say that this was the most fun, I have *hic * ever had and * thump*" Link went out like a light.
" It looks like we're all alone now baby. How about we get * hic * get *thump*" Shiek was out like a snuffed candle.
"* Singing like Donkey from Shrek* I'm all alone, There's no one here beside meeee… but ya gotta have friends* thump*." You know what happened.
When they wake they'll have one hell of a hang over. Yet they will still go out and have fun because they are young and stupid like my brother.
