"What?" Ganon stood in awe. "I can't be happening already."
'I'm afraid so."
"Fine! We'll weaken him. If the universe collapses, it won't matter either way."
"Good. I'll have Navi point out where to attack. Link, you strike from a distance. I just need you to distract him. Ganon, you need to watch Navi and attack all out where she indicates. I'll try to open the gateway into the void." Link flipped backwards. He landed and unleashed an onslaught of beams at Majora. The blasts knocked him back to his feet. Ganon slowly moved in, waiting for his instructions. Majora lashed at Link, who easily dodged. Ganon say the flicker of light hovering around the back of Majora's neck.
"There!" He charged forward, jumping into the air, then pounding down with both blades. Majora ducked under the slash, not without taking a small cut near the shoulder. He rose back up, firing multiple balls of energy. Ganon tried to shield himself with the swords.
"No! Ganon, don't block!"
"What?!"
"Don't be afraid. Just charge straight at him and attack!"
"You're insane!"
"Watch!" Link took off in a dead run towards Majora, who turned his focus to Link. The blasts grazed his face and body, but Link continued to run. As Majora lunged forward to grab him, Link sprang into the air. He turned in mid-air, and upon seeing Navi hovering around the neck, slashed brutally at spot. Majora reached back to grab the spot, when Ganon thrust one of his swords into his chest.
"You're mine!!" Using the sword, Ganon tossed Majora upward. Navi spun around in a circle around the small of Majora's back. Fire began to spin around Ganon's swords. He jumped up into the air, the tips of both swords flying towards Majora's back. "With the Fire of Din, I will put an end to you!!!" Ganon stabbed both his swords into Majora, up to the hilt. Navi jumped from side to side, and Ganon nodded, knowing what to do. While Majora wailed in agonizing pain, Ganon ripped both swords out in opposite directions. Blood splattered to the ground, and Majora fell. His mangled body lie still, bleeding and nearly turned inside out.
"Is....is it over?" Link wondered. Suddenly, he heard music. He looked up to see Shiek playing the Ocarina of Time. The haunting notes of the Song of Time filled his ears. He knew what she was attempting. Then, almost as suddenly, Majora rose up. He drew in deep breaths, his jagged teeth gnarling, and his bulging, yellow eyes full of anger.
"Damn you all!!! I have had enough of this!!" He lifted his tentacles into the air, spreading them far apart. Within that space, a monsterous ball of energy began to form. Link rembered when the moon was falling towards Termina, as the ball grew to enormous size. "I will crush you all!!!!" Majora was ready to swing down with the blast, when everything lit up with a golden light. Link and Ganon both shielded their eyes. They could just barely make out the image of a shower of gold from the sky, completely engulfing Majora. They area grew brighter, as Majora began to rise upward into the sky. "FOOLS!!!!!!! IT WON'T END THIS EASILY!!!!!!!!!!!!" Majora screamed, as he rose into the portal. Then, the light was gone. Link looked to see Zelda collapsed on her knees.
"Zelda!!" Link ran to her side. He picked her up in his arms. "Zelda. Are you okay? Please, speak to me."
"........Link. It's....it's over. Majora's finally beaten." She smiled faintly as she gazed deep into his blue eyes. "We won." Ganondorf turned away, not wanting them to see his smile. He looked up as the sky grew black. The opening above them was still there. Grey and black clouds began to swirl into it.
"What's going on?"
All across Hyrule, the sky turned a jet black. Only a few clouds could be seen, all of which were being pulled into a strange portal above Hyrule Castle. The people slowly stopped their fighting. Soon, all were gazing up at the strange occurence. Silence was all that remained. The wind ceased to blow. It even seemed as if water had stopped flowing. Not a voice. Not a step. Not a sound. Then, from the void, came a clap of thunder, shaking the ground with a tremendous fury. Bolts of multi-colored lighting jumped out of the hole, each bolt skipping in a different direction across the sky. The once warring people stood, frozen by fear and wonder. A shape began to take form in sky. It slowly came out. The thing was gigantic, bigger than the moon. Although, they soon realized, that was because it was so close. The thing began to take on features of a face. Large eyes opened, and a nose slowly poked through. However, instead of a mouth, six small holes opened up in the purpleish face. Spikes of many colors ran across the edges of it. There, above Hyrule Castle, alone in the pitch black sky, was a gargantuan mask..
"What is this?!" Ganondorf yelled out. Link and Zelda gazed up at the figure that had appeared before them. With a resemblence far too much like Majora's Mask, the mighty image began bellowing laughter that seemed to race down the hills and across the plains.
"FOOLISH MORTALS." The voice boomed. "YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU ARE DEALING WITH. YOU NEVER STOOD A CHANCE." Energy began to gather into the six holes. "THE VOID BETWEEN THE DIMENSIONS COULD HOLD MY ESSCENSE, BUT NOT MY ENTIRE FORM. INSTEAD, I HAVE MADE THIS VOID PART OF MY BEING. I AM IT." The six holes now glowed with a crimson light. "NOW, TO END THIS." The mask fired beams of energy from the holes. The three watched on helplessly as the beams gathered into one incredibly destructive force. Blinding the entire kingdom of Hyrule, Majora reduced the castle to rubble before the inhabitants very eyes.
Large pieces of stone began to roll off one another as Link pushed his way out of the rubble. "Hello!" Link yelled. He was no longer in his Fierce Deity form. He stood and walked around among the debris. "Hello!" Then, he glanced to a pile of rocks to see the edge of a dress sticking out. "No." He ran over to it. "No! Zelda!" Quickly, Link overturned the rocks and dug her out. Her body lie so still. Her pale face seemed even paler, as he picked up her cold hand and held it in his. "No. No, this can't be happening. Zelda, say something. Speak to me!!!"
"She's gone." He looked to the side, seeing Ganondorf limp towards him. He clutched his side with one arm, trying to stop the blood from pouring out. He was cut and bruised all over. Ganondorf stared at him out of one eye, the other blinded by a stream of blood. "It's over."
"It can't be."
"I hate to see it end like this."
"Stop it! Don't say that. It can't end like this." Tears began to form in his eyes. He held her hand tight.
"Look at your hand." Link looked down. The Triforce was glowing on his hand, but fading on Zelda's. Soon, the emblem was completely gone from her hand, and it grew cold as ice. Link let her hand go, and watched it fall to her chest.
"She's gone."
"It's time. It has to happen now."
"What?"
"Majora has to be stopped once and for all. You have to defeat him."
"......I can't fight."
"If only I could. But, I....ahhhh!!' He grabbed his side and dropped to his knees. Link began towards him, as Ganondorf lunged forward. He grabbed on to Link's collar and pulled himself up. "Listen to me. Time's up. It's now or never, boy. If you want to mourn your loss, then avenge her. Destroy Majora." Ganon began to cough, as bloo oozed through his teeth and across his lips. "Take this." He reached to the jewel on his forehead, pulled it free and reached it to Link. Link took it into hand. "This is part of the puzzle. 'To blind the Eye of Ruby. To silence the Breath of Destiny. To shatter the Blade of Justice. Any desire shall be yours.' This is the Eye of Ruby. It was passed down from Gerardo King to Gerardo King. While I was in the void for so long, I figured that out. Link, all the artifacts are here. The Triforce is gathering. You must make your wish, once Majora is beaten. If you try it first, he will surely kill you and make the wish himself. Hurry."
"But....I have nothing left. I have nothing to fight for."
"You have the universe!" Ganondorf winced in pain. "Link, I wanted to possess the entire Triforce. I wanted to use it. I was so strong, and knew many ancient spells. But, deep down, I was a coward. I surrounded myself with magic and power, because I was afraid of facing the world on my own. Zelda was so brave, to stand up against all this. But, she was too frail. You, Link. You have faced down countless enemies with your Courage. You have solved countless puzzles with your Wisdom. You have won countless victories with your Power. You, Link. You are the one in the prophecy. The one destined to wield the entire Triforce, and bring a Golden Age to Hyrule. Now....use them. Gather....them. Defeat....him." Ganondorf released Link and fell to the ground. Link sighed, wondering what to do. He took the jewel and put it inside his tunic. He walked a few feet from where Zelda's body lay, and picked up the Ocarina. He then moved over to the hillside, and picked up the Master Sword.
"....Eye of Ruby....Breath of Destiny......Blade of Justice...." He then looked up the the sky. The mask's were following him. Watching his actions. Link then looked to his hand. The emblem began to glow. His piece of Courage was lit up, but then, the other pieces began to shine as well. Soon, the brilliant light from the Triforce shone like a star on Link's hand. He closed his eyes and focused. The esscense came over him again, and he returned to the Fierce Deity form. He tooke the twisted sword and ripped it apart. Now, with a curved blade in each hand, he looked back at the mask. "You!!!! You will pay for this, Majora!!! You took her away from me! You took everything!!! I will make you pay!!!!!" Link held his hand up to the sky, and a stream of golden light shot from his body and to the mask, making a hole in it betweent the eyes. He began to rise up the light, and ventured into the void, where his final battle awaited.
Well, it's almost over. I'll be posting the grand finale soon. Please, send me any comments or opinions. Bet you'll never guess how it's going to end.
