The Legend Of Zelda: The Battle Of The Ages
Chapter 14: Gannon's Castle
"You have failed, why, you ask? I'll yell you why! Not only did the realm between us close, but also you let them in! Leave, I have no need for you!" --G.A.
All of them, sages and Link, woke up, and entered the true portal. But the first one they entered, closed. For a strange reason, they all entered the Dark, and evil castle! (Of course, except Link and Mikau) Funny, no? Well, a force unknown took some in to them, but others walked in because of pure bravery. Or perhaps, it was courage, but whatever it was, it led them into the one and only, dark, and evil, Gannon's Castle.
Seven floors, and seven towers, each representing a different sage, but what about link? He was connected to a sage himself, the sage of water. Mikau. They partnered up after knowing that they were the last two left that needed a partner.
Link and Mikau had seen the two castles, and were debating on which one to go in, the Light, friendly castle, or the Dark, and forbidding castle.
"I say we go into the dark one." Link said, as they were walking on the grassy field, where the two castles lay.
"Uh.why not the nice one?" Mikau asked cowardly, and he stopped walking, looking back, hoping he would see the portal.
"I don't think that Ganondorf is a 'nice castle' guy. Do you?" Link said, signaling "Start walking!" to Mikau.
"Okay, but can't we just visit--" he started.
"No!" Link and Mikau walked up to the dark castle. The castle was made of stone, which, to the looks of it, was some-how painted black. "We're here." He swallowed. Looked at Mikau, and nodded to go in.
They looked up and saw how high the castle was. The castle door opened, and Link and Mikau walked in.
There was a red carpet going down a hall, which they had been walking on, and on each side of the walls were mirrors. Mirrors that had the Triforce symbol on each corner of the square-frame of the mirrors, and they followed by candlesticks, all hanging on the wall. The hall-corridor stretched down to one door. The door also had a mirror on it, and a sign was under the mirror. It read: "There are seven ways to defeat a king. But there also seven ways for that same king to have amazing power. Step in the realm of the King, and don't expect a humble welcome."
"Well that's not nice." Mikau said, contracting his fins, "Guess we'll have to be armed."
"Hmm." Link looked at himself in the mirror and saw something in back of him. "Lend me your sword." Link whispered.
"What?" Mikau turned around, but Link stopped him.
"Look in the mirror." Link said, in another whisper.
Mikau stared into the mirror, and, at first, saw nothing. But only after a short five seconds he saw something creeping behind link. "Dude, did you know there's something behind you?" Mikau asked, in the same tone as Link.
"Yes!" Link almost screamed, but pretended that he was still reading the sign. "Hmm.uh.also seven ways for that same king to have amazing power. What do you think that means, Mikau?" Link looked at the mirror again, and looked at Mikau.
"Uh.yeah, I don't know." Mikau looked at his amulet. Power up! Power up, and become the sword of Destiny! Mikau thought to himself. His amulet, which was used as a necklace, just like Saria, floated. Still around his neck, the Amulet floated, enough for him to see it, and shot a blue beam, the beam was so bright, that Mikau and Link couldn't even open their eyes, and Mikau felt the chain, that was used for the necklace, disintegrate. And in front of him stood the sword of Destiny.
The sword resembled the Master Sword, but around the grip of the sword, was two arrow- like points and each pointed toward the grip. The whole grip was a dark-blue color, on the arrow like points' handle, (that connected towards the main grip) were two light-blue orbs. The blade was long, and made out of the finest metal in the Hylian world. And on the blade was the Sage Of Water Medallion symbol. But under the symbol was the Amulet, blue, and radiant with power. The symbol was different then the symbol of the old Sage of Water, it was a circle, followed by three shrimp shape-like (but full blue) shapes. All leading up to the point of the blade.
Mikau held it with pride, from the three Goddess, they gave it to him. The amulet glowed with power, and Mikau sharply turned around, levitating whatever was behind him, (with the sword's power) he focused on all things, living or non-living, to lift so he could see who was behind him. He looked around seeing nothing, only seeing all the candlesticks and mirrors floating away from the walls, he blinked and the mirrors and candlesticks fell. But nothing happened to the mirrors or candlesticks, they didn't break, crack, not even a single scratch was on them. Then he saw it. He saw the thing that was behind Link.
"Who are you?" Mikau asked, and Link turned around to see what he was doing. "Answer me!" He gripped his sword tighter, and lifted it. "Now."
"Do you not remember me?" Asked the thing, which was a spirit.
"Majhobi?" Asked link. "Is that you?"
"Yes." Majhobi said, and Mikau started to remember the spirit that talked to all of them, in Impa's hidden under-ground rooms.
"Why-why are you here?" Mikau put down his sword, and noticed that all the mirrors and candlesticks floated back to their original position.
"Nice, mind work. Well anyway," Majhobi said. "You need to get to the Main floor, I think that is the way for the--" His voice trailed off.
"Huh?" Link gestured. "What?"
"The destined one, I think that is the way for the destined one." Majhobi said, and disappeared. But before he fully vanished, he said "Beware of what you fear the least." And with that, the spirit, of an old shiekah, left.
"'Beware of what you fear the least.' What do you think he meant?" Link asked Mikau.
"I don't know, but maybe we should get inside already." Mikau touched the knob of the door, and the door opened by itself. "Okay."
They looked at each other, and entered the castle. As they walked in, Link and Mikau, they looked at the inside of the castle with awe.
"Wow." Link said.
"Amazing." Mikau said, walking onto the red carpet of the room.
The room had an amazingly beautiful staircase with a white frame/ rail around the red carpet leading towards the second floor, and on the second floor's door, which was where the staircase led to, was the symbol of the Sage Of Light Medallion. The staircases' rail was intercepting, and eventually led to all the columns that were around the whole circular room. Around the stair- case, which was straight ahead from where Link and Mikau entered the room, were tables. There were four seven tables, also, representing each sage. There were three on the right side of the staircase, and three on the left side. And there was one table in the center of the huge red-circular carpet. To the left of them was another door. The door had the symbol of the Sage Of Triforce Sign. Which was three triangles, on top of each other, each corner touching each other one, to make a full triangle, with one tiny triangle in the middle of the full one. They looked to their right, but they saw nothing, nothing but the wall. The wall was made out of the same stone that looked as if it had been painted black. The room was huge, and Link and Mikau looked at it with, yes, awe.
They walked up to each table, and on each table, was a note written by someone named "G.A." It read: "You have entered the Castle of Gannon, you will now see what you deserve. Walk into you rooms, for it is the last thing you will do! -G.A."
Mikau was about to read it when link stopped him.
"Don't read it!" Link yelled pulling Mikau away from, what it looked like, his table. The table had nothing on it, just the note. There weren't any chairs, so it seemed like who ever belonged to a certain table, and read the note, would do what it said.
"What's your problem?" Mikau grabbed the note, and read it. He looked up, and his sword flew straight at him, but he lifted his hand and stopped it.
"It was trying to save you." Link said, and Mikau turned his head quickly staring at Link; then he looked up and a beam of light, well, beamed down and Mikau floated up, him and his sword.
Link didn't know what to do, and started to walk towards one of the tables he hadn't seen. It was behind the staircase, which meant that the table he was looking at, was for him.
"I have no choice." He picked up his not, and read it, he looked down, and a trap door opened. He fell to the dungeon, and didn't even know it. He was hypnotized, after reading the note, he no longer felt the problems he had had, didn't realize what was going on.
He was about to hit the cold, hard, ground of the dungeon, when his Triforce symbol appeared behind his left hand. He woke up. He knew what was going on, and before he hit the ground he heard Faroe's voice. "Do not be alarmed, you will not fall." And she finished. He suddenly stopped falling, floating in mid-air and gently sank to the ground.
The dungeon was very dark, and there were chains everywhere, one of them was slightly bigger than the rest, it had been Ganondorf's.
"This was Ganondorf's room." Link said to himself. "This is where he stayed, this was the Sacred Realm for him. No wonder he's mad." He equipped his bow, and loaded it. He looked around, and saw nothing but the stone walls, then something he wouldn't have noticed without paying attention. It was a staircase. It was a spiraling staircase, leading down to up to, to what he thought, the ground floor. This is too easy. He thought to himself. But the challenge of climbing the staircase was having the energy. He didn't know how far he had fallen, and the truth was he had fallen so far, that it would take him two days to get to the ground floor. By not knowing that, he thought it was just a matter of minuets, and kept walking up the steps.
Zelda had been taken into Gannon's Castle by an unknown source of power. She hit her head when entering the castle, and knocked out. She woke up in a huge room.
"Oh no," Zelda murmured, "Not again!" She got up, and looked around the room. Inside the room was grass. So it was more of a outside room, but with a roof. (no not like a green-house) She looked deep into the never- ending room, and saw a hidden door. The door had the Triforce symbol on it, and she walked up to it.
Still dizzy from the hit, Zelda touched the symbol, and the hidden door opened, and lunged her backwards.
"Ow." She looked at the opened door, seeing a cloud of dust mix into the clean air she was breathing. After the dust settled, she saw something inside the door.
Too afraid to enter, Zelda formed her staff, and pointed it towards the door, it shot an orb of light, courtesy of the partner she had, Rauru. It hit the inside of the door-way and someone yelled.
"ARRGGHH!" Said a scratchy voice. "May we now?!" It asked in annoyance.
"Yes." Said another voice.
A dark creature jumped out of the room, and it was Dark Link, again.
"So we meet again." Dark link said.
Zelda sighed. "Again to be beaten?" She said cocky. She walked around Dark Link, touching his shadowy skin, almost caressing it. Just go along. She thought to herself. She lifted his chin, and stared into his eyes, again.
"Hmm" Dark link said, "Can't wait to get me, I see." He said, and Zelda lunged her staff at him, thus, stabbing him. He couldn't do anything. The power of the Goddess's was hurting him so badly, and he lifted his arm. As if he were signaling someone, or something.
She looked around and looked back where Dark Link was, but he was gone. A rushing sound of doors opening startled Zelda. There were hidden doors all over in the room. And she had only opened one of them. Without even a second of hearing the doors open, million of creatures jumped out of the walls. Ganging up on Zelda. She only had the Amulet with her. But was she forgetting something? Maybe, but she couldn't think of it at the time.
"I see." Zelda pulled out her dagger, "A fight is what you want, come and get it!" She ran towards them, and the real battle began.
