Majora dropped Zelda and Ganondorf to the ground. It seemed that they had returned to normal. Majora back slowly away, but Link followed.
"No. No, this can't be. I thought I..."
"Thought what? Thought you had stopped me from using this. I know your trick and I'm not falling for it anymore. You can't stop me now."
"..........What do you hope to accomplish alone? Look at your friends. They drew the power from their Triforce pieces as well, but it wasn't enough. Even together, they stood no chance against me. Why are you even trying to..."
"Stop!!! No mind games. Not this time." He pointed his sword at Majora. "I know what you're up to. You can't intimidate me, though. What I possess is different from them."
"You can't be serious. Do you think your 'Courage' will be enough to save you? To save the world? You don't have the power to contend with me." He smiled through his jagged teeth. "Who do you think you are?"
"I am Link. The Chosen One. The Hero of Time." He lifted his sword over his head and crouched down. "The Fierce Deity." He lept into the air, striking downward. Majora stepped back to avoid the blast. He struck at him with his tentacles, but Link swung a mighty slash, chopping the tips of them off.
"Arrrggg!!!" Majora withdrew them. Link charged forward, ready to cut deep into his hide, but Majora barely dodged. He attacked with a barrage of energy blasts. They flew at him quickly, but Link easily swatted them down with beams of blue light. With one massive slash, Link fired a blast that knocked Majora to the ground.
"It's over, Majora. You've lost." Link lept high into the air, coming down with a massive stab. Majora lie motionless on the ground. Then, just as Link was about to dig his blade deep into Majora's chest, the beast's eyes opened. Before Link could counter, he was struck with a beam of energy from Majora's mouth. "Ahhhhhhh!!!!!" Link was sent flying back, landing with a thud on the ground. Majora stood and began creeping up to Link.
"Hm, hm, hm. I am growing so tired of you humans. So thick-headed. So stupid." He now stood over Link's body. "I will enjoy this, Hero of Time." Majora reached out his hand and picked Link up. He brought the limp body close to his face, and then opened his mouth wide, ready to devour him.
"Who's the fool, now, Majora?" Without hesitating, Link slashed at Majora's tentacles, severing a few of them. He fell to the ground, landing on his feet. Just before Majora could attack, Link jumped into the air again, this time unleashing a powerful spinning attack. He flew past like a tornado, cutting Majora along his side and across his face as he went. Link turned a flip and landed some ways behind Majora, close to where he had dropped Zelda and Ganondorf.
"......Link." A voice said weakly. Link turned to see Zelda slowly pulling herself up. "You.....you came back."
"Zelda, I'm sorry."
"Sssh." Zelda clutched at her side. "Not now. We still have to fight. Are you okay?"
"I'm fine, but you...."
"Don't worry." A light began to glow around her hands. She waved them around gracefully in beautiful patterns. The light followed her hands, surrounding her body. Soon, she showed no signs of weakness. "There. Nothing to worry about. Now, make sure he doesn't attack while I heal Ganondorf." Link nodded. He readied his sword, but Majora was still trying to recover from the last attack.
"Errr.....uhhh.....curse you." Majora slowly rose to his feet, still trying to catch his breath. "You won't pull off an attack like that again." Majora surrounded himself with an aura of energy. It pulsated around his wounds, slowly closing them. Even his tentacles began to grow back. Link watched on, still ready to attack.
"There, you're alright now." Zelda stepped away as Ganondorf stood.
"Never expected you to help me." Ganondorf brushed past her and up to Link. "So, you decided to come back. How nice of you."
Link smiled. "Thanks for holding him off."
"Don't say it like I was trying to help you. I want him dead just as much as you two."
"Then I can count on you?"
".......Fine. Simply because I might actually need your help. Just remember, when this is over, you and I still have to finsh what we started."
"Fine by me." The two smiled at each other.
"If we are going to attack," Zelda spoke up, "then I suggest we get ready. Majora's almost finished regenerating."
"Yeah. Where's Navi?"
"I'm still here, Link!" The fairy rushed up to him.
"Good. I'm going to need you to lock on to him for me. Just like old times."
"Enough of this rubbish!" Ganon lept into the air, the Triforce piece on his fist glowing. "It's time to end this!" Again, he began his transformation. Zelda also held up her hands, calling upon the Triforce.
"Navi, listen to me. I need you to relay messages from Zelda to me. Show me where she wants me to attack."
"Got it!" The fairy buzzed off. Link looked to his side to see Sheik. Behind him, Ganon stood, ominous and powerful. But before him, Majora had completed his resting. Link showed little emotion as he thought about the battle that would decide the fate of the universe.
"Link, can you hear me?" A voice echoed in his head. "I'm going to talk to you, Navi, and Ganon telepathically. I may be able to guide you this way." Link twirled his sword, getting ready to fight. "I'll lead with the first attack. You and Ganon follow up. Ready.....now!" Link and Ganon darted to the side. Sheik sprang forward. She lashed out at Majora, flinging points of light down like needles. Majora quickly put up a shield, defending against the onslaught. Before the shower of golden light ceased, Link approached from his right. Showing no fear, Link slashed and attacked fiercely. Majora was thrown off balance trying to defend or dodge all the attacks. He releasing a wave of energy, launching Link backward. Majora continued to back up, until he backed right into Ganon. Before he could turn around, the brutal sting of Ganon's swords cut deep into his hide. Majora stumbled forward, spun around, and threw out his tentacles. Wrapping them around Ganon's wrists, he channelled energy through them, constantly zapping Ganon.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!" He screamed out in pain as a blast from Link's sword tore into his back. Majora instantly released his hold on Ganon. He swung behind him, extending his tentacles.
"Look out, Link!" Sheik seemed to scream in her message. Link jumped up, dodging the whip-like appendages. He struck down with more blasts, but Majora fired many of his own. The blasts met, sending clouds of smoke over the area. Link charged through the smoke, ready to attack. Majora was ready to evade Link's charge, when Ganon's immense arms wrapped around him.
"What?!"
"You aren't getting away!" Majora struggled to break the grasp, but couldn't free himself. Link thrust his blade into the monster's abdomen, then pulled it free. He slashed repeatedly along the chest and stomach.
"Link, back away! Ganon, let him go and move!" Sheik commanded. The two did as they were told. Sheik ran towards Majora herself. The beast attempted to strike her down with a blast, but was caught off guard by a slight puff of smoke. Remembering the Sheikah trick, Majora spun around, only to find Ganon staring him down. Swinging with incredible force, he drove Majora backwards with heavy hits. As he tried to mount a counterattack, Sheik struck him with a powerful beam of light, focusing on his back, which was already exposed by Link's blast. Majora felt paralyzed by the sharp pain. Link shot beam after beam of blue energy from his sword, adding more and more torture to Majora's crippling sitiuation. Ganon charged up, ready to strike the demon in the eyes, when he spotted a small ball of light, hovering around Majora's ribs.
"Huh?" Ganon thought. "It's....the fairy. Is it trying to tell me something?" Ganon changed his tactics, instead slashing at the spot Navi had indicated. Majora screamed in agony as Ganon ripped into him. His body overcome by torment, Majora released a massive wave of energy in all directions. Everyone was thrown to the ground, as Majora collapsed to his knees, gasping for air. The others pulled themselves up.
"Quickly! You two weaken him further. I'll try to seal him away."
"What!?" Ganon questioned the plan. "No! We've almost got him!"
"No we don't! He may be disarryed, but he's is still far from dead. If we shut him away inside the void, it'll buy us more time."
"Why do we need time?!"
"It's starting. The universe is beginning to fall apart."
