A rigid smile crossed Majora's face. He held his staff up, then tossed it aside.

"You fool. You have done nothing more than succeed in angering me." Majora brought his hands close together, as a crimson aura began to surround his body. The smile grew, as his eyes flickered with a firey power. "Do you recall the grotesque race I spoke of? Well, consider yourself lucky. You three will be the first to see this hideous form in centuries." Majora began hovering in the air, as the aura grew more intense. His very flesh began to crack. The dark skin around his hands shattered like glass, as giant tentacles appeared in their place. His arms and legs began to bulge, and they too burst, with a massive, bulky, multi-colored muscle taking their place. Majora's face twisted and contorted, as it started to split down the middle. Bulging yellow eyes appeared from behind the disguise, as a mouth full of jagged fangs opened, with a slivering yellow tongue licking through the slobber. The robe finally flew off, as Majora rose up, standing in full form. He laughed menically in a distorted, deepened voice. "Behold! Pitiful humans, do you now see the futility of your attempts? Submit the Triforce pieces to me before I lose my patience." Ganondorf's mouth hung open, shocked by the transformation. Zelda took steps back, as Link merely stared. "You still wait, I see. Very well." Majora swiped down with his tentacles, easily knocking Ganondorf back. His eyes turned to Link. He held his tentacles in the air, then struck down with each one individually. Link tryed to slash them away with his sword, but they were moving too fast, and he was quickly beaten down. Majora moved forward, almost too swiftly for such a massive creature. Zelda held out her hands and fired an emense beam of light. Majora became trapped in the light, but only momentarily. Clouds of energy rose up from his body, then shot at Zelda, surrounding her body and dropping her to the floor. Majora reached down and picked her off the ground. "Struggling will do you no good. It would be best if you simply...AHHH!!!" Majora dropped Zelda to the ground suddenly, felling a sharp sting on the back of his neck. He turned to see Link holding his bow, pulling back another Light Arrow. "You again? Pathetic humans, you simply never learn."

"SILENCE!!!!!!" Both Majora and Link turned, seeing Ganondorf's monstrous attack hurtling forward. The blast engulfed Majora, exploding upon impact. The dark waves flowed across the area, pushing the others back. "Uh....hu...uh....I will not be made a fool of." Ganondorf vowed between breaths.

"Hahahahaha...." The smoke cleared, and Majora stood unscaved. "Is it that difficult to understand?"

"I'm just starting." Ganondorf gathered his magic into his fists. He darted at Majora, swinging his fists down brutally. There were eruptions with every punch landed, as Majora began staggering back. Ganondorf flew back and fired ball after ball of magic. Majora took every hit, simingly unharmed. Rolling his tentacles into a fist, Majora swung down, crushing Ganondorf into the ground.

"You fool!" He raised the mass of tentacles and struck down again. "It doesn't matter what kind of power you posses." Again. "Your weak body cannot amass enough strength." Again. "You have no chance of defeating me!" Blood began to cross Ganondorf's lips as Majora crushed him mercilessly.

"Stop!!" Zelda stood, gathering up another blast.

"Princess, haven't you been listening?" Zelda fired the beam of light.

"Link!!! Now!!" Link ran at Majora with the Master Sword drawn, charging power into it. He lept into the air, slashing wildly at Majora. The light faded, and Link stabbed downward into Majora's body. A dead silence fell.

"Weaklings." Majora thrust upward with a barrage of attacks. Link was flung off, then came hurtling back down. Majora reached out his arm and snatched Link's leg. Using a few of his free tentacles, he grabbed the sword and shield away from Link and tossed them aside. He then held Link up to his face. "What could you possibly be thinking? Give up. It isn't worth it." Link struggled in the monster's grasp. "Well, how about it?" Link stopped squirming about, inching his hands behind him. "That's better. Now hold still, this won't take very.." Link pulled his bow, armed with a Light Arrow. He pulled the string back, but Majora swung him upward, letting the arrow soar off into the distance. Majora slammed Link into the ground on his back. "I'm growing tired of these games. Perhaps I should save you for later. Yes, I believe that will suffice." A dark mist began crawling up Majora's arm, surrounding Link. Majora lifted him up in the air. "Let it take hold of you. Give in to the black embrace." He swung Link downward, but there was no thud against the ground. Instead, the mist had formed a portal on the ground, and Link slipped down, disappearing into the shadowy pool. The mist began to fade, every so slowly, just a tiny bit at a time.

"Wha...what did you do?!"

"Think of it as a safety precaution, Princess. There's nothing for me to worry about, now." Zelda brought her hands together as the Triforce symbol on her hand glowed. "Not this again. It won't work." Zelda unleashed a beam of light from her body, as a darker beam radiated from Majora's. The two attacks met, pushing each other back. Zelda began to tremble, but Majora showed no sign of weakness. "I warned you."

"Enough talk, demon!!!" Majora looked behind him. Ganondorf fired a blast of black and gold at the ground. It landed hard on Majora's back, jarring him from his spot. Zelda dropped the beam, collapsing to her hands and knees. Majora stumbled forward, nearly falling, but stopping himself. "This won't continue."

"Haven't you learned yet?" Majora swung back in whiplike motion. Ganondorf jumped out of the way. "Can't you just stay down?"

Link looked through what appeared to be a window. He could see Ganondorf struggling to fight against Majora, as their blasts zipped through the air. He could see Zelda kneeling on the ground, trying to catch her breath. He could even see Navi flying through the strands of Zelda's hair as they floated around her face. The window seemed to be growing smaller, though. Then, Link realized what was happening. The area around him was pitch black. It felt almost like water, but he could breathe easily. He could feel himself falling, watching the hole he had fallen down slip farther and farther away.

"........What's going on?"

Link? Speak? What kind of mind games am I playing?
