Ch.4 Revelations and A Dark Mission

"There are six gems of power: Time, Reality, Mind, Power, Soul and Space. Individually they grant great power to the weilder, and united they grant the powers of a god. They were originally guarded by six beings but were eventually stolen a few years ago by on mad titan named Thanos. He served only to win the heart of the lady Death and ended up wiping out half the population of the universe. He was confronted by the forces of good and eventually it was his own subconscious that enabled his defeat. Soon after the gems were again employed to defeat another madman called the Magus. They were eventually scattered throughout dimensions, throughout time and space in hopes that even if found none would ever bring the gems together again. It is only a matter of time now for somehow there is a force somewhere that seeks to unite them again. We must secure them before it is too late. So far only two are accounted for, the one I used to teleport you from Gannondorf and then the one that he somehow obtained which is obviously the gem of Power. I was given the gem of Space that I might be able to travel between dimensions and places in order to find the gems as well as a device to locate them with by the same being that told me of this mission. I accepted the mission but I couldn't do it alone and so I returned to Hyrule to get Link but apparently the being didn't think he would be enough and so he sent me you two. That is how you arrived, why he chose you two I don't know but it was for a reason only known by him and so I trust you." Explains Sheik. "Why should we trust you or "him" or this story?" Asks Batman. "Well obviously you have seen the power of the gems for yourself and what they can do." Sheik replies. "Sheik is a sage Batman, she would not be if she could not be trusted" adds Link. Batman thinks for a moment before replying "Forgive me if I don't share the same optimism, however the gems are real and I agree they must be accounted for. Vega on the other hand I do not trust." Link and Sheik suddenly notice the absence of the masked assassin. "He has been gone since you finished the story, he is very cunning and very deadly I feel he compromises the mission, we would be better off locking him up and doing it ourselves." Sheik disagrees "It is that very reason why I feel he is here, our wild card if you will. I feel he may be just the companion we need though we will need to watch our backs." Sheik turns as Talon walks up. "However it is getting late, the sun will soon set and you will need your strength. Come, it's dinnertime." The others exchange looks and follow Talon inside.

The night has a bad reputation, just because it gives people the feeling that they may do things with less chance of being caught. Well that reputation is apparently well deserved for a dark figure leaps rooftops like the gaps were nothing. Vega is as much feeling as action; the feeling of the moon on his skin, the breeze whipping his long braid about, the satisfaction of the spilling of blood and the insanity of the struggle between life and death. Only Vega prowls the marketplace tonight save for several small dumb dogs. Dogs he knows how to handle, a dead chicken and they forget about everything. Somewhere Talon is missing a cukoo. Vega reaches the remains of the Temple of time. The giant is not there but he will not be hard to find. Vega's vision follows the giant's trail of footprints the size of a small cars leading off northwest to the castle of Hyrule.

It was no problem getting to the castle and even less to scale it and sneak into it. Vega silently slips through the halls searching for Gannondorf. Vega notices that the entire castle is deserted and the guards are mostly dead at the door. They must have tried to hold the giant off so that the royal family might escape. Vega stops finally at the king's bedroom doors and slowly, silently opens the doors just enough to slip in. Gannondorf snores away, sleeping in the king's bed no less and at normal size. He sleeps soundly in the vanity of his new powers. A mistake. Vega moves very fast and very silently after locating the gem imbedded in the king's crown resting in arms reach on the dresser next to the bed. Vega's hands find the crown but a second pair locks onto the other side.Gannondorf awakes. "Your not the only thief around here!!" Gannondorf roars as he erupts from the bed scimitar drawn. "I thought one of you might try a silent solo but I didn't expect you to actually be able to grab it without waking me, but no matter you will die for daring to invade my sanctum!!" Gannondorf also had slept in leather armor, not exactly his full plate mail but just what he would need to be able to move more freely. Vega lashes out and to the surprise of Gannondorf kicks the crown from his grasp and out the window. Gannondorf grins "Alright then, I see your mind." And lashes out with his scimitar missing Vega by mere inches and then flows into the attack with a back fist again missing. Gannondorf falls back as Vega leaps toward the ceiling, spins and flips landing in a crouched position on the ceiling and then rocketing claws first deep into him from face, down through the torso and straight down and then spinning into a soft landing. Gannondorf drops his scimitar and falls to his knees in agony but Vega doesn't give him time to scream as he kicks out knocking him on his back and kicking at his ribs and stomach. A Sudden lash of Gannondorf's legs suddenly take Vega off guard and he falls back but catches himself and returns to a standing position. Gannondorf floats into the air energy crackling about him as his armor suddenly materializes upon him and his pupils start to glow yellow. "You did not think I would be so easy to kill did you? I admit I made a mistake underestimating you but no more, now you will die!!" and with that he unsheathes a new sword, a heavier, greater one accompanied by a large black shield. Gannondorf flashes in and swings his great sword in an arc sending out an energy beam that slices out and destroys the bed, dresser and the wall of the other side of the room but misses the quick form of Vega. Vega moves in fast and leaps to the ceiling like before and then dives down however he does not attack instead he lands and then springs into the startled Gannondorf's face and his claws draw blood but two beams flash from his eyes and blasts Vega out onto cobbled roof of the castle. Vega dodges another energy slash with a low forward roll deep into Gannondorf's defence and then to the right as the sword comes down again and again around him. Vega then sees the opening he wants and he is in and out faster than Gannondorf is able to react, at such a speed that the attack is but a blur. Vega hits three times in rapid succession during this move: one stab to the left cheek and then out tearing through the roof, tongue and gums; then an uppercut to the chin lifting the head up for the third and most devastating attack: a stab into the bottom of the chin about an inch deep and then raking down from there filleting the throat and then against the armor all the way down causing a simultaneous spark and a flash of light. Vega listens to the gurgling of Gannondorf choking on his own blood, the successive crash to the floor and then the last breath as it chokes from his throat. Gannondorf dies and Vega leaves, stopping only twice: first to the wine cellar for a bottle of wine and then out side to collect the crown.
