My sincerest apologies for the delay. My computer has been very naughty. I'll post whenever I'm able. Now, without further ado, here is....a few more chapters!!!!! Enjoy them while you can.

The darkness surrounded him, like an endless pool of water. It didn't feel wet, though. Link could breathe easily. The tiny opening was slipping away, and Link kept falling away from it. But, he didn't feel distressed, or upset in any way. The shadow pond had a silent calm to it. Link could close his eyes, and simply drift away from everything.

"What am I doing? I need to get back. I need to help them. Don't I?" Link turned his body away, looking farther down. There was nothing but black, as far as he could see. "Why should I help? What would the point be? I don't owe them. If anything, they owe me. I saved the whole world. They'd all be Ganondorf's slaves if it weren't for me. And Ganondorf. He tryed to kill me. Zelda too." Link closed his eyes and filled his liungs with cool air. "Zelda. How can she do this on her own? Maybe I should...What am I saying? None of this would have happened if it weren't for her. She pulled me into all this. I lost my childhood because of her. And just when I thought I could get that back, she drags me along on another 'adventure'." Link sighed. "I'm tired of caring. I'm tired of being some hero that no one knows about. I save all those people, and how many even no my name? It's pointless." Link smiled as he floated downward. "I don't want this anymore. I don't want the responsibility of being a hero. I just want my life back. My peace."

Violent explosions blasted on all sides of the area. Ganondorf rolled along the ground, doing his best to avoid the attacks. He rose up and fired repeated attacks at Majora. He stopped a moment to catch his breath, then ran on.

"Just give up, Ganondorf. Fighting against me is of no use. I can plainly see that you're wearing down, while I haven't even broken a sweat."

"I refuse to give up that easily. You think I'm weakening? No. I've barely even started." Ganondorf lifted up his fist. The Triforce marking glowed brightly. Ganondorf hovered into the air, curling his body up into a ball.

"What the....?" Golden light surrounded his body, as Ganondorf let loose an awe-inspiring cry. The light flashed, and Ganondorf's body emerged as a huge monster. "It is true." The beast snarled, letting foam ooze across his lips and over his tusks. "Assimilation."

"What? Assimilation?" Zelda asked in a puzzeled voice.

"Human bodies can't harness the full power of the Triforce. By allowing the Godess's power to take you in....Impressive."

"Enough!" Ganon roared. He swung down with one of his massive swords, cutting Majora's side.

"Errrrr....." Majora struck forward with his tentacles, lashing Ganon's face. "It doesn't matter. Not even that can save you, now." Majora attack furiously, whipping at Ganon's body. Ganon slashed down with both blades, but Majora sidstepped. As Ganon turned, a blast of magic caught him in the face, knocking him to the ground. Zelda watched on in wonder.

"Assimilation? The Godesses...taking you in? Could that..." She looked at the back of her hand. "...could that be....what happened...when I tryed.....tryed to help Link?" Turning her hand over, she placed both hands against her chest. "That must be it. That must be." The Triforce began to glow.

Link fell deeper into the abyss, drifting away from the world. He looked deep into the shadowy depths, as a feeling of relief began to grow inside him. Closing his eyes, he smiled and stretched his body. "Finally...I'm free. Nothing to worry about anymore. No monsters to fight, or sages to awaken, or errands to run. I won't ever have to go on another quest again." Link opened his eyes. "But.....is this really what I want? Can I really do this? Zelda.....she needs my help." Link gazed blankly forward, then shook his head. "No! I'm tired of that. That responsibility. That burden. I'm so sick of it. I don't want to be a hero. I don't want it." Link put his hands behind his head and laid back. "I can rest now. No more worries."

The swords tore the air, slashing wildly at Majora, as he managed to evade each attack.

"Hold still!!!" Ganon struck down with force, spliting the ground open.

"You cannot win." Majora assaulted Ganon with intense blasts. Ganon rose from the smoke, attacking again. Majora dodged an attack, then struck down brutally on the tip of Ganon's tail, causing him to yell out in pain. Majora capitalized on the opportunity, rolling his tentacles into a ball and slamming down with full force. He lifted the tentacles, watching Ganon gasp for breath. "So, even the mighty Din has weaknesses." An enormous blast engulfed Majora's body, stinging him all over. "AHHH!! What is that!!?" The blast ceased, and Majora turned. Standing before him was a young woman dressed in gray and blue clothes, with a cloth mask wrapped around her face. "What in the....hmmmm. You too, huh? Well, this should be interesting." Majora fired a blast at Sheik, causing a cloud of smoke. As it cleared, she was no where in sight. "So weak."

"Ganon, get up." Majora turned to see Sheik standing beside Ganon.

"What? But....old Sheikah trick. I should've known. Nayru always did like them." Ganon pulled himself up, standing a little wobbly.

"Ganon, attack him. Stab at his chest, then slash."

"What!? How did...." Majora stopped himself. "Think you've got this under control, don't you? Let's see you handle this!" Majora spread the tentacles on one of his arms into a circle, gathering together a massive energy ball. He hurled it forward, ready to crush the two. Ganon jumped forward, shielding himself with his two swords. The blast burnt at his arms, but Ganon slashed with both swords, shattering the attack. He charged forward, thrusting a sword forward. Majora dodged to the side, but Ganon stabbed again with the other sword. Majora screamed out in agony as the blade caught him in the abdomen. "How dare you!!!!" Majora let energy flow into his arms, then lashed out repeatedly with powerful attacks. Ganon dropped to one knee, as Majora blasted him with an awesome wave.

"Errrggg!" Ganon dropped to the ground.

Oh crap! Link's a bum and Ganon's gettin' stomped. What will they do?
