Chapter 5: Success!
"Okay, give me your best shot," yelled Young Link, now in his original outfit. Michelle stood about ten yards away from him in one of Link's outfits, only without the hat. She gripped her sword and charged at the youth and then jumps over him, coming crashing down on him. He flew back, but then quickly got up. She then pulled out her bow and fired an arrow at Young Link. He blocked it with his shield. He fired a fire arrow at her. She did a spin attack and actually knocked it back at him, sending him flying (his percent damage was pretty high as well as hers). He hit the side wall of the arena and the match ended. Both of them rode the platforms to the docking bay. All of the smashers were there, watching them. Hope returned to their eyes as they saw the human girl win. Young Link and Michelle shook hands. She then got him in a headlock and gave him a noogie.
"I've always wanted to give my brother one of these," laughed Michelle.
"Why didn't you," asked Young Link, fixing his hat.
"Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because he's a foot taller than me."
"Older?"
"Yeah."
"I really hate to break up the bonding session here, children," interrupted Ganondorf, "But we have a deadline to meet."
"Deadline," asked Michelle. "What deadline?"
"Never mind that now," cut off Peach. "There's a dress in your room that you need to put on. Meet us at the docking bay of my castle in half an hour. We'll explain everything there." Michelle just looked at her with a puzzled look, but she obeyed and went to her room. She shut the door behind her and looked at the beautiful white dress that was hanging up by her closet, then slipped it on. The top of it was like a halter-top, only the straps were bedazzled in rhinestones. The dress sparkled and the skirt went down to her ankles as it flowed with every movement she made. She put on the pair of white high heels that were sitting by her bedside and thanked God that the heals weren't too thin nor too high. She brushed her hair out and readjusted her class ring. She then looked on her desk and saw a beautiful white gold tiara with three diamonds side-by-side in the center. Slipping it on, she looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, which slowly faded away into a puzzled look once more. She looked at her clock and rushed to the docking bay where she met everyone. The boys looked at her in amazement, but then their looks turned into serious ones. Fox helped her onto one of the mobile platforms as Mario and Roy soon followed. They stepped off the platforms once they got onto the stage. The sky was already darkening and the wind's speed picked up.
"Michelle, I don't have much time to explain this to you," started Fox, "but the real reason we brought you here was to-"
"Become my bride," interrupted a voice. The four looked up to see Kimoru float down from the clouds and land on the stage. He was not at his original height, which was about the height of Ganondorf. He removed the hood of his cloak and long, silver hair flowed with the wind. He looked at Michelle with cold, silver eyes. He grinned an evil grin, then started laughing. Michelle turned around and glared at Fox, who had just averted his eyes away from her sadly.
"You mean to tell me that I'm suppose to be a sacrifice to this guy," she yelled.
"We needed to find someone to get Link back," yelled Fox. Michelle's glare soon turned into a surprised and worried look. Fox sighed and continued. "He wanted a bride, so he took Link hostage until we found one. We really hate to do this now that we've gotten to know you better. Kimoru, where's Link!?"
"Right here, McCloud," grinned Kimoru. He then threw his hands out to his sides and Master and Crazy Hand came off of them, growing to their original size. Everyone's eyes on the docking bay widened in surprise as the two hands came within ten feet of hitting each other. Sparks flew from them and then a bright flash of light. Once the light died down, the hands were on either side of Kimoru and Link was standing there, blinking. The first thing he saw was Michelle looking at him in amazement. Before he could move, however, lightning bolts surged through his body as he yelled out in immense pain. Michelle ran over to him and caught the unconscious Hylian before he fell onto the ground. She looked up at Kimoru and glared.
"What did you do to him, you coward," she screamed at the phantom. All he could do was laugh.
"I never said I'd bring him back alive, now did I," he replied, laughing even harder. He darted at her and grabbed her wrist, lifting her up so she could look into his eyes. She tried to get her hand free, but his grip was too strong. Before he could even let out another laugh, a bright light emitted from the girl's ring and blinded him, making him drop her. He put a hand over his eyes and winced, yelling out in pain.
"Michelle, you and Link get out of here," ordered Roy. "Fox, Mario, and I will take care of the rest!" She nodded and started dragging the unconscious Link every inch of the way. She had to stop once she reached the tower in the center of the stage. She stopped to look at the fight, and saw that her friends needed help. She looked down at Link and frowned, then knelt down and drew his sword.
I don't think he'll mind if I borrow this for a little while, thought Michelle. Just then, the wind picked up to amazing speeds, causing the fight to stop temporarily. A bright, golden light emitted from her body that blinded everyone on the stage. When the light died down, she was in a green, sleeveless tunic, knee-high, skin-tight boots, and golden bands on either wrist. The mark of the Triforce was on her forehead, which made Link's, Zelda's, and Ganondorf's Triforce pieces react. Link slowly awakened and stood up, looking at her slightly wide-eyed in surprise. Michelle looked at her class ring and the stone was glowing all different colors.
"Tell me," started Link, "What's the name of that stone?"
"It's suppose to be my birthstone, but it's not. I don't know the name of the stone. All I know is that it's star-flame cut," responded Michelle. Link's eyes brightened at that statement and a determined smile formed on his face.
"There's a legend that I heard about the phantom. It says that the only way to defeat him is to use the Star-Flame Cut. I had no idea that that stone was it. I thought the stone was something else."
"Huh?"
"Michelle.I think you're the Heroine of Time."
"Why do you say that?"
"You're the only other one who's been able to hold the Master Sword."
"Maybe it's because I'm the only other one who's tried?"
"I don't mean to break up your bonding session, guys, but we could use a little help over here," cried out Fox. The two looked over at him and watched him be grabbed by Crazy Hand, wincing in immense pain as the hand slowly started to crush him. Michelle ran over to Crazy Hand and slashed at his fingers, making him let go. Fox dropped down onto the ground on his knees, catching his breath. Link helped him up as Fox thanked them. Michelle then walked over to Link and handed him his sword. He took it and nodded, looking at Kimoru.
"Now it's time to show you what we're made of," yelled out Link. Michelle held her fist out at the phantom and the light from her ring blinded and weakened him slightly. Link took this opportunity and charged at him, stabbing his sword into his chest. Kimoru yelled out in pain as a blinding light shot out from his body and into the clouds. He collapsed, then disappeared, never to be seen again. Fox, Mario, Roy, Michelle, and Link looked at Master and Crazy hand, ready to destroy them.
"Kimoru was weak," started Master Hand. "He was not worthy of our power, and that lead to his downfall."
"You mean to tell us that you two were controlling him," blurted out Roy in a surprised manner.
"Exactly," answered Crazy Hand. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we're going to kill you little-GAH!!!" Crazy Hand then started having convulsions and twitching fits, then exploded in a bright ball of light. Behind him was Link, who had just delivered the final blow. Master Hand then backhanded him back towards the group. Roy caught him before he could hit the tower headfirst. Fox then did a Fire Fox on Master Hand, which weakened him almost to the point of defeat. He pounded Fox into the ground, knocking him out. Michelle knelt down by him, picked up his blaster, and fired the final blow at the gloved villain. He, too, exploded in a bright ball of light. When Fox regained consciousness, all the villains were gone. Michelle helped him up and handed him back his blaster, smiling. All of the smashers on the docking bay cheered and danced. The five on stage rode the mobile platforms back to the others, and there was much rejoicing (yaaaaaaaaay.). Michelle's body then glowed gold again, and she was back in her dress. After the light died down, she passed out. Link caught her and knelt down onto the ground. Everyone huddled around the two before Dr. Mario made them back off to give her some air. Link checked her over with a worried look on his face.
