Chapter 11

The sky was as dark as ever as the Six Sages, the Three Goddesses, and Mirren flew to Emralda's Citadel. This would be the battle that would decide the fate of four different things. All of Mirren's friends, Hyrule, Ganondorf and Emralda, and Mirren himself. As he flew atop Goldenfire, the Sages and Goddesses followed by the sides flying on their own.

They had been flying for a while now, and passed all over Hyrule. Every time they flew over a certain place, the Sage of that area would look down on it and just hope that Mirren would be able to defeat Ganondorf and Emralda so that place, and the rest of Hyrule would be safe.

Mirren had said nothing for the whole time. He just went on without speaking whatsoever. His eyes were narrow with three things. Fierceness, determination, and intensity. The only things that were going on in his head were thoughts of fighting the most powerful duo in Hyrule ever. He just thought of battling both with all his might against their dark power, and hopefully defeating them to save all of his friends.

After about an hour, they passed over Hyrule Castle and began flying into Herlassia. It was a very typical land. Creeks, cliffs, ponds, forests, glades, a couple mountains, and rivers. But one thing this land didn't have was villages or towns. Instead, whatever even populated the land seemed to live in towers and forts. They kept on flying, and everyone was a little surprised at what Herlassia really was.

"Ya know, I expected this place to be nothing but a wasteland devoid of beauty, but it's rather......... normal" said Nabooru. Saria nodded.

"Yes, I must agree" she replied, "It's almost like Hyrule. I'm actually shocked." Impa then turned her head to the two Sages as she kept flying.

"It won't seem much nicer or normal once you lay eyes on that" she said as she pointed her finger outwards. Nabooru and Saria looked, and gasped in fear.

It was Emralda's Citadel in the distance. It was just a huge black fort, with a rather large castle at the bottom, and a great ebony-like tower in the middle which just rose God knows how many feet into the air. It pierced the clouds, and it seemed everything around the tower was just dead or darkness.

"My God, it's just, incredible, it's almost scary" Ruto whispered. Impa nodded to her.

"You better believe it, It's ever worse than what Ganon's Castle was four years ago, and we thought that was terrible!" she spoke. Darunia then joined the conversation.

"Yes, but Link was able to conquer it and destroy Ganondorf, so if my sworn brother can do it, than my sworn little brother can do it!" he exclaimed. Impa looked very serious now.

"As much as I'd hope this ordeal would go about like, I'm afraid that Mirren is going to be in the fight for his life" she replied, "he's going to have to take on the most evil, most powerful foes ever to be spawned here in Hyrule. He's got quite a fight ahead of him; I just hope he can defeat them"

Farore had listened to the whole conversation and now looked at Mirren as she still flew. He still had the same expression. Intensity, determination, and fierceness. She knew what was going through his head right then and there, and she knew he didn't care that he was being talked about. The only thing that really mattered was saving his friends.

Soon, everyone finally landed outside the black castle. They got grouped together and got their plan ready.

"Alright, everyone remember?" began Din, "we'll go in, and you Six Sages will take on the forces inside the castle. Me, Farore, Nayru, and Mirren will then go up the tower and take on any forces there. One by one, we three Goddesses will stay on one of the three floors to fend off the forces there. Then Mirren will go up to the top floor and begin his fight with Ganondorf and Emralda. Understood?" Everyone nodded.

"Alright, let's go!" exclaimed Rauru. Everyone was then ready to charge into the citadel before suddenly a huge cloud of blackness formed in the sky. Everyone looked up in complete confusion before the cloud then began breaking up into tiny pieces and flying down towards them. They all couldn't think of what it was before Ruto finally did.

"They're flying demons!" she exclaimed, "They must the outside forces!" Impa gritted her teeth.

"Just great!" she yelled, "we didn't plan on this at all!!!" Mirren then looked at Impa.

"Don't worry 'bout it, I've got it covered!" Mirren finally said. He then turned to Goldenfire and pointed up to the numerous flying demons. "Goldenfire, take 'em out!" he shouted. The huge golden dragon nodded and let out a battle cry. His roar was as loud and deep as ever, it echoed throughout the entire land as the demons froze in fear. Goldenfire then flew up and began taking them out with massive swipes of his awesome claws. The ones that were hit screamed in pain and were sent plummeting to the ground. As he just destroyed them by just using his claws, they began throwing their spears at him and spitting out fire. Each time he was hit, it bounced off his golden body, and he'd retaliate with a blast of fire; burning the flying demons to a terrible death.

Nayru looked up in awe and couldn't believe the great power of Goldenfire. "I figured that dragon would come in handy for this battle, but certainly not like this!" she exclaimed. Everyone else nodded, but Farore didn't. Instead she looked as Mirren did.

"We don't have time to watch him destroy them, we gotta get in that castle and get on with the plan, the sake of Mirren's friends and all of Hyrule is at stake!" she shouted. Everyone then realized that they had got sidetracked and nodded to the great Goddess. They all then ran to the castle doors and flung them open. The huge black and red doors opened, and crashed into the walls, making a huge noise. They all then ran inside and hurried down the carpet hallway.

"The next door should be the entrance to the inside of the castle, this place is very similar to Ganon's Castle, so we kinda have an advantage!" said Nabooru. They all they came to the door, Mirren crashed through it and pulled out the Goddesses Sword. He stepped into the central area of the castle, and saw the entrance to the tower. His eyes narrowed as he then suddenly realized the incredible amount of troops about the place.

They all had faces of anger, and were in their battle positions with their weapons in hand. There were Moblins, Monblins, Dinolfos, Stalfos, and Iron Knuckles by the dozens. This was the second line of defense.

"Well Sages, let's do it!" yelled Impa and fired a beam of energy. It hit a Dinolfos and instantly took him out. The other troops let out their battle cries, and charged into battle. The other Sages then came in and began firing off their magic as they took more out. As they began their fight, Impa looked at Mirren.

"Mirren, go inside the tower with the Goddesses, go defeat Ganondorf and Emralda; go save your friends" she spoke. Mirren nodded and looked at the three Goddesses. They nodded, and began running down the carpet path to the entrance of the tower. They almost got their, before suddenly four huge Monblins jumped in front of them and blocked the path. They grinned evilly and got their war-clubs ready. Mirren gritted his teeth and was ready to attack before a beam of orange light came flying by and took all four of them out. Mirren turned around to see Nabooru with her arms outstretched.

"Go Mirren, go with the Goddesses and get your revenge on those two evil fools!" she yelled. Mirren nodded and looked at the Goddesses. They all nodded.

"Let's go Mirren" said Farore. They all then ran into the tower and began running up the huge flight of stairs to the first floor as the Sages continued their massive battle.

The three ran as fast as they could up the huge flight of stairs. Mirren had the same face of intensity and had his mighty blade out. He was ready to fight, he was ready to save everyone; he was ready to defeat the most evil beings ever in Hyrule. They all kept going when they finally came to the first door. They all went in, and noticed nothing was around.

"What in the world!?" exclaimed Mirren. Suddenly about fifteen Stalfos appeared in the room. They all pulled out their shields and swords and grinned evilly. Mirren gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes. He got his blade ready before he felt Din's hand on his shoulder.

"Mirren, you mustn't waste any energy before your battle, these fools are mine!" she said, and destroyed two with a blast of fire, creating an open way for them to get through to the next door. "Go now!" she yelled as she attacked another with a stream of fire from her hand. They all nodded and began running as fast as they could to the door. They got there, and began running up the second flight of stairs. The three ran and ran, and Mirren looked at Farore.

"Hey, is this really your plan to not have me fight before the battle with Emralda and Ganondorf at all?" he asked. Farore nodded.

"Yes, we can't take a chance of you getting injured, you must be at full power to fight them!" she answered. Nayru then noticed the next door up ahead on the stairway.

"I've got the next room!" she yelled, "like Din, I'll blast a path for you, and you guys get through and get going!"

"You got it!" replied Farore and Mirren in unison. They then came upon the door, and went into the second room of the tower. They all got in, and waited for the next assault of troops. Sure enough, appeared a huge bunch of Moblins. Nayru searched out the door and shot two Moblins with her eyes beams to clear a path for Farore and Mirren.

"Go on my friends, and good luck Mirren" she said. Mirren nodded and instantly he and Farore ran to the door. Mirren went through it first and began just burning his way up the stairs with great speed. Farore amazingly kept up and followed right by his side.

"I'll do the same as the others, but I suggest you get a head start, I won't have much time to just deal with you" she spoke. Mirren nodded.

"No problem" he said. She smiled at him and they soon came to the final door and Mirren clutched the handle. He was about to open it, before he just turned his head to Farore.

"One thing before I go fight Emralda and Ganondorf..." he said. Farore looked him a little surprised and waited for his answer. He looked straight up at her and smiled. "Thanks" Farore smiled back and nodded.

"It was nothing Mirren, you deserved it" she replied. Mirren smiled even more. He then opened the door and was back to his intensified mode. He instantly noticed the door and made a break for it. He was only about ten feet from it before about fifteen Iron Knuckles appeared before him. Farore was ready and blasted two away with a huge ball of energy. It cleared a good enough path for Mirren and he ran to the door. He held the handle and turned back to Farore.

"You can do it Mirren, do it for Hyrule, do it for your friends, do it for your brother Link.........do it for Zelda" she said. Mirren turned away with a slight smile and laughed quietly. He opened the door, and began running up the stairs. The words of Farore made him smile, but as usual not for long. He soon had his eyes narrowed, and he was as fiercer looking as ever. He grasped the Goddesses' Sword in his right hand, and ran up the stairs ready for the final battle.

In the throne room of Ganondorf and Emralda, the two evil duo had watched everything through the mystical fire. Even though Mirren had gotten through everything and was making his way to the room at that second, they smiled wickedly and laughed.

"Isn't that funny, the Six Sages and the three Goddesses helping out the brat, well I never expected it, but it's actually kinda good..." began Ganondorf before Emralda interrupted him.

"And why do you say that my brother?" she asked. Ganondorf turned to his evil sister and grinned evilly.

"Because, without their help he'd never had been able to make it up to here" he answered, "so we wouldn't had even been able to fight him. Not like it matters though; we'll still kill him!" Ganondorf let out a diabolical laugh before the chained Zelda interrupted it.

"Mirren will never lose!" she shouted, "Mirren will not lose to you two devils! He knows the importance of this battle, he knows what's at risk; Hyrule, his best friends' lives, and even his own life! He will not stand to lose all of that! Mirren may be small, but he's got the biggest heart in the world; and I know he'll defeat you two!!!!" Zelda was incredibly angered, and her eyes and words showed that. As the Princess of Hyrule glared at them both, Ganondorf gritted his teeth.

"How dare you ever interrupt me you stupid girl!" he yelled, "You're in no condition to say such things to us!! I am the Scourge of Hyrule, and no one, especially you Zelda deserves to insult us this way!!! Ya know what? I think it'll do you and that stupid brat Mirren some good if I kill you right now!" Everyone gasped in shock as Ganondorf threw his hand out. A black ball of dark energy began forming in it, and soon it was at full power. He aimed it at Zelda, and had pure anger in his eyes. "Die you stupid Princess!!!!" he yelled. He was then just about to fire the ball of energy before the doors to the throne room flung open. Everyone gasped in shock, and even Ganondorf and Emralda somewhat froze in surprise. It was Mirren; carrying the Goddesses' Sword in his hand and glaring with pure hatred in his eyes.

"Touch her Ganondorf, and I swear I'll make you suffer even worse than I already will" he said with the fiercest glare ever. Everyone just stared in shock as Mirren just stood there. They couldn't believe that he was finally here, and that he looked so ready for battle. They were also surprised to see his great new blade, and the awesome armor he was wearing. As everyone else just had their jaws drop, Zelda and Link smiled.

"He's finally here" whispered Link, "my little brother."

"He can do it, I know he can, I have pure confidence in him" Zelda said. Link then turned his head to Zelda.

"You seem to like him a lot Zelda, do you think he's cute or something?" Link asked with a grin. Zelda smiled again.

"I actually did say that to him, and it's also like I feel that he's my own little brother" she answered. Link's grin then turned into a smile.

"I can see where you're coming from, I kinda felt that way with Faria" he said. They both smiled at each before then looking at Ganondorf and Emralda, who were right now grinning wickedly.

"So, the day has finally come, the day we get our revenge on you and fight to the death" said Emralda, "I'll tell ya one thing, you've got guts, but that won't be enough. We'll kill you for what you did to us all those years ago!"

"Yes, and then we'll kill your friends and make you suffer even more" Ganondorf added, "it is time kid; for you to die!" Ganondorf let out a quiet, yet evil laugh as he pointed to Mirren. The warrior boy simply stood holding his great sword in his right hand, and with the glare still on his intensified face.

"I will not let you hurt any of my friends, I've said this before, and I'll say it again" he began, "even if it means giving up my own life for the good of my friends and loved ones, I'll do it. I'd rather have myself suffer than them. This battle is between you two and me, not them." Emralda sneered.

"Anxious to fight I see, I'm surprised, I've never seen anyone so excited to die" she said. Ganondorf smiled evilly.

"Yes I must agree, kid, there is no way you can take us both on, you might as well just run away and save yourself" he said, "but if you really want to fight us and try to save your friends.fine. Are you ready to fight your final battle kid?" As Ganondorf and Emralda grinned diabolically, Mirren narrowed his eyes and got in a battle position with the Goddesses' Sword grasped by both hands.

"Just bring it" he answered quietly from anger. Emralda then threw her staff out and shot a beam of energy at Mirren. He jumped up and easily dodged it. Ganondorf then lunged at him and went for a massive punch. Mirren lifted up the sacred blade and blocked the punch. Ganondorf smiled and went for another punch with his left hand. The fist soared towards Mirren's unprotected chest and was just about to connect before Mirren did a flip over Ganondorf and landed on his feet behind him. He was going to go for a stab to Ganondorf's back before he saw Emralda shoot a ball of dark energy at him. He jumped away, and the ball came flying at Ganondorf. The Evil King turned around just in time and lifted up his long black cape to block the attack. Emralda gritted her teeth in anger.

"Stupid child!!" she shouted, and flew at Mirren. She lifted her staff above her head and was ready to attack. She brought down the great staff down and came very close to smashing Mirren's head, but he lifted up the Goddesses' Sword just in time and blocked the shot. The two grappled with their weapons for a few moments before Ganondorf rushed in and punched the distracted Mirren straight on the left cheek. Mirren grunted in pain for a second and was knocked sideways. He stood on his feet away from Ganondorf recuperating from the attack. Ganondorf stood behind him and balled up his fist for another punch with an evil grin as he waited for the weakened Mirren to turn around. Soon Mirren did, but when he turned around, he showed no pain at all and screamed in fury at Ganondorf. He reared back and slashed him straight across the face.

Ganondorf yelled in pain and crashed into the ground ten feet away from Mirren. Everyone's jaws dropped as they saw Ganondorf lay on the ground and groan in pain from the hit. Emralda was shocked, but was also angry. She also yelled in anger and charged at Mirren. The young boy turned to her and pointed his sword at her. He yelled in power as he shot a blast of energy from the blade. Emralda froze in shock from the attack and was hit head on. She yelled in pain and was sent flying before she just smashed in the floor. Everyone then gasped in shock from Mirren's attack. They didn't know Mirren knew that technique, and could do it so well! Link smiled.

"So Mirren also knows how to shoot energy from a sword" he whispered. As Mirren just glared at the hurt Emralda, Ganondorf slowly got up. He clutched his wounded cheek and gritted his teeth in anger. Mirren noticed him, and turned to the Scourge of Hyrule.

"You dumb child, let's see you just attack right back from this!!!" he yelled. Ganondorf then threw his hand out and shot a ball of dark energy at him. The black and somewhat yellow sphere of energy rocketed from his hand and came flying at Mirren. He was just able to jump sideways and dodge the shot, but Ganondorf let go of his cheek and shot another ball of energy at him using his other arm.

"Dodge this!!" he yelled. Mirren saw this coming and once again just dodged it as it flew to the other side of the huge throne room and exploded. Ganondorf yelled in fury and then shot a ball of energy from both hands. The pair of dark spheres came soaring at Mirren and just glowed with immense power. Mirren knew he couldn't dodge these, so he lifted his blade up and slashed them both as they went flying back at Ganondorf. Like Emralda had done before, Ganondorf froze in shock and couldn't evade the attack. His own blasts of dark energy came flying back at him; and he was hit by both. They exploded on contact and sent him flying into the wall. He yelled in pain and cracked the wall from the great force.

Mirren stood breathing heavily as he began to tire a little. He got back in his battle position as he just waited for Ganondorf to get up so he could attack him. But he totally forgot about Emralda, and it proved to be a big mistake. She got up, and shot a bolt of energy from her staff at him.

"Mirren! Look out!!!" yelled Faria. Mirren heard her and finally remembered Emralda. He tried to fully turn around and somehow dodge the attack, but it was too late and the bolt hit him. He cried out in pain and was knocked flat. Emralda recovered from her last hit as she grinned evilly. She then looked at Ganondorf, who was now getting up.

"You okay my brother?" she asked. Ganondorf fully got up as he put his left hand on the wall to hold himself up. He breathed heavily from the fatigue and pain and wiped the blood from his face with his other hand. He then finally took his hand off the wall and stood upright.

"I'm fine" he answered as he turned to Emralda. He then smiled evilly as Mirren slowly got up. Ganondorf then began producing another ball of dark energy in his hand and waited for Mirren to get up. The wait wasn't a long one, and soon Mirren was on his feet. Ganondorf then instantly threw the ball at him.

"Take this you fool of a kid!!!!" he yelled. Mirren was just able to raise his head up to see the ball, but didn't have the time to block it or dodge it. The sphere of dark energy hit him, and exploded on contact. Mirren screamed in pain as he was sent flying. He crashed hard on the ground, and Zelda and Faria turned away in horror.

"Mirren! No!!" yelled Link. Ganondorf smiled diabolically from Link's concern and slowly began advancing towards the hurt Mirren. He just lay on the ground groaning in pain, as a couple wounds on his body opened up and bled. Ganondorf was soon standing over him, and picked him up the throat. He held him up in the air and smiled evilly as Mirren just looked at him through painful eyes.

"Well, isn't this interesting, you had said you'd make me suffer" Ganondorf taunted, "sure, you hit me a couple times, but that was no where near suffering. I knew you were too weak to fight us, but you'd never listen. Tell me kid, how does this feel?" Ganondorf then took his hand and punched Mirren square in thestomach. The huge fist just dug into it through the armor, and Mirren's eyes just widened in shock and pain. Everyone gasped in shock, and all the girls just turned away in horror for Mirren. His face began to grow pale, and his mouth just hung down as blood trickled from it.

"Mirren!!!!!" Link yelled. Tears began to form in Link's eyes as Mirren just stayed the same way he was. As everyone else just was horrified by the attack, Emralda and Ganondorf grinned wickedly. Ganondorf then let out an evil laugh, and Mirren just closed his eyes. Everyone gasped in fear, and Ganondorf stopped laughing. He looked down at the hurt Mirren, and grinned.

"So kid, what is it like to feel real pain?" he asked. Mirren then opened his eyes and slowly looked up at Ganondorf. He looked at him through his hurt expression, and finally lowered his head. Zelda froze in shock and fear.

"Mirren, no" she whispered as tears slowly formed in her eyes. Ganondorf laughed diabolically at his success before Mirren suddenly lifted his head up in a flash and just sprayed a stream of blood into Ganondorf's face. He dropped Mirren and clutched his face as the blood went into his eyes and blinded him. He grunted from the stinging pain, and Mirren quickly grabbed the Goddesses' Sword. He reared back and did an excellent vertical slash on Ganondorf's body. He yelled in pain and was sent flying. Emralda gasped in shock and was incredibly surprised at what Mirren had just done.

"You fool! I'll make you pay you dumb child!" she yelled. She then rushed at him and smacked him across the face with her staff. Mirren's head just flung sideways, but he soon brought it back and retaliated with a great slice across her body. She also screamed in pain and was knocked down.

She landed on the hard floor and held her hurt shoulder. She rived in pain as the blood flowed freely and stained her royal purple dress. Mirren just stood breathing from fatigue and holding the Goddesses' Sword in his hand. He stood straight up with his legs stretched out a little and his arms to his sides. He could see the damage he had done to them, and figured it'd be best if he took this to rest since he knew they wouldn't be attacking for a little bit. He just stood the way he was for a little while before Ganondorf and Emralda slowly began to get up. They were still hurt, but let go of their injuries and glared at Mirren.

"Kid, you're quite impressive, and you're obviously stronger than us" Ganondorf said as he breathed heavily from pain and fatigue, "But we're not finished yet! We can't defeat you in these stages, but we can when we transform!" Mirren gasped in shock as Ganondorf and Emralda then began yelling in fury and power. They had their arms outstretched, and were glowing with awesome energy. Link just froze.

"No.... not Ganon" he whispered. Sure enough, he was right. Ganondorf finally began changing into his beast form, and he just looked at terrifying as he did when he transformed four years ago against Link and Zelda. His skin began to be covered in green and gray scales, and he grew into an enormous size. He grew out a huge and wide tail, along with hooves for feet. Two great horns very similar to a ram's grew on his head, and his face just became that of a beast with glowing yellow eyes. His great twin swords appeared in his hands and he was fully transformed into Ganon.

As for Emralda, she began turning into a dragon. Two huge wings with many scars and cuts on them grew on her back as her skin also formed into scales. Her hands turned into huge and incredibly sharp claws, and the same went for her feet which were now more like talons. She grew out a long, whip-like tail, and her head finally turned into that of a dragon. Her scales turned into a dark purple color, and now she was fully transformed. Mirren just stood in shock; he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Ganon just laughed evilly.

"A little shocked kid?" Ganon taunted, "Well I'm not surprised, it's not every day we do this. Just try and defeat us now you fool, you're going to pay!!" Ganon was then ready to take one of his great blades and slice Mirren to his death; before suddenly the doors flung open, and there stood the three Goddesses. Ganon instantly turned around, and was shocked to see the three great Goddesses of Hyrule. They all glared at him and the dragon- Emralda.

"What are you three doing here?" asked the dragon-Emralda. Din's eyes narrowed.

"We're here to help Mirren defeat you, but we're mainly here to help one of the captives fight" she answered. Ganon and Emralda looked at her a little confused, before suddenly Link's chains disappeared, and he just floated down to the ground and finally over to Mirren. Everyone gasped in surprise, and Farore grinned as Mirren and Link looked at her also surprised.

"We've come here to set you free Link, so you fight with Mirren, your little brother, and defeat these two" she spoke. Link still looked surprised, but finally looked down at Mirren and smiled. Mirren looked up at his older brother and smiled back. Suddenly, the Master Sword and the Mirror Shield appeared in Link's hands. He smiled at his great weapons, and looked down at Mirren again.

"You ready to fight again Mirren?" he asked. Mirren grinned and nodded.

"You bet bro" he answered. They both smiled at each as Ganon roared in rage.

"Forget this! Let's get 'em Emralda!" he yelled. The two beasts then charged at the two warrior brothers as the got in their battle positions.

"I'll get Ganon, you get Emralda, got it Mirren?" said Link.

"No problem!" answered Mirren, and lunged at Emralda. Link then charged at Ganon, and the battle began.

Link charged at Ganon, and the great beast went for a vertical slash. Link rose up the Mirror Shield and blocked the shot. He then ran at Ganon and rolled under his legs. He got up and was ready to strike Ganon's tail before he brought it down and crushed Link with it.

"Ha!" exclaimed Ganon, "you fool Link! My tail is no longer my weak spot! I can be hurt anywhere, but I'm even stronger than before!" He then brought his tail up again and was ready to crush Link again before he rolled away and got in a fighting position.

Ganon swung around and rushed at Link. He went for an awesome stab, but Link jumped up and landed on the blade. He ran up it and jumped at Ganon's face. He did a cut across Ganon's face and jumped back as the beast roared in pain and as blood flowed from his wound. Link realized he had hurt him and went in for another attack. He did a slash across Ganon's leg, and cut it open. Ganon yelled in fury and kicked Link. He got just smacked by the huge hoof and was sent flying. Ganon ignored all pain and charged at Link. He roared in rage and brought his sword down. Link was able to see this in time and once again blocked it with the Mirror Shield. He quickly up and shot a beam of energy from the Master Sword. The beam of energy hit Ganon and knocked him back a few feet. The beast staggered for a few seconds as Link dashed at him ready for another attack of the Master Sword. He jumped up and yelled in fury. Ganon then took one of his blades and slashed Link.

The huge sword hit Link and made him just scream in pain. It cut him open and sent him flying into the wall. Link smashed up against it and yelled in pain as blood flowed from his side a little. He rived in pain as Ganon sneered.

"The Hero of Time.ha!" he yelled, "You're much too weak to fight me now punk! You may have been able to defeat me all those years ago, but now I'm ever more powerful! I am invincible! As Ganon, I shall finally kill you!" Link then suddenly got up and shot another blast of energy at Ganon from the Master Sword. The blast hit Ganon square in the chest and made him roar in pain. He staggered like before, but this time crashed on the ground. The whole tower shook, and Link just glared at him.

"I'd doubt that" he said.

Back with Mirren and the dragon-Emralda, the battle was just as intense. They were both fighting well, and had gotten a few hits in already. Emralda was very quick and agile, but it was often hard for her to hit Mirren. Since he was also agile and was very small, he'd often easily dodge her attacks. They both kept on fighting as they both kicked it up a notch.

Emralda screeched as loud as ever and went for a slash. Mirren couldn't block it in time and was sent flying. He landed hard on the ground as Emralda flew at him and was ready to attack him while he was down. He knew he couldn't get up in time, so he just pointed his sword at her, and shot a beam of energy once again. It came out too quickly, and it hit her right in the face.

She shrieked in pain and held her injured face. Mirren realized he had stunned her, and ran at her for an attack. He jumped towards her and threw the Goddesses' Sword out for a stab. He yelled in fury and connected it in her body. The great blade dug into her skin and made her roar in pain. Mirren then pulled it back as she backed off a little as she held her wound. He jumped at her again and did a great jumping slash.

He brought his blade down onto her face and sliced it open. She once again roared in pain and was knocked down from the blow. She kept roaring in pain as the cut bled. Her blood flowed out from it and stained the floor. Mirren breathed heavily from the fatigue he was beginning to get. He just stood resting for a few seconds before the dragon-Emralda slowly got up. Once she was, he got the Goddesses' Sword in position and charged at her. He was ready to do another great attack before she lifted her head up and shot a blast of fire from her mouth.

The blaze hit Mirren directly and made him yell in pain. He flew though the air towards the windows and smacked against the hard floor right next to them. He lay riving in pain as he still burned a little from the awesome fire. Emralda finally got up on her feet (or talons, whatever) and panted from her own fatigue and pain.

"Nice attacks kid, but you're time is up, I'm going to finally kill you, and then all your friends!" she yelled. Everyone gasped in shock as Zelda struggled against her chains.

"No! I won't let you hurt him!" she yelled, "I won't let him die!" Nayru then looked up at her.

"Zelda, I know your pain, but you're in no condition to fight, let us Goddesses do this!" she said. She then looked at Farore and Din. The three nodded at each other and were ready to charge at her before Emralda swung around and shot blasts of fire at all three of them. The three Goddesses froze in shock and realized they couldn't block or evade the shots. The fires came flying at them, and hit them head on. They all yelled in pain and smacked against the wall where everyone else was. The fires then surrounded their entire bodies and trapped them against the wall.

"No! We're trapped!" yelled Farore. Emralda grinned through her dragon face.

"You got it you stupid Goddesses, now you three can't interfere with the battle any longer, you can now watch Mirren and Link die!" she yelled. She then heard some odd, whistle type noise. She turned around; and just froze in fear. She looked down at Mirren, and just saw him holding his ocarina. He grinned at her, and she began backing off.

"No...." she said quietly from fear. Everyone watched in confusion for a few moments before Goldenfire suddenly crashed through one of the windows and flew at her. He reared back and slashed her right across the face. She roared in pain, and smashed right into the floor.

Everyone gasped in shock at Goldenfire, and couldn't believe he had finally arrived. He just snarled at her as Mirren slowly got up. He put away his ocarina and reached into his pockets. Everyone watched and waited for what Mirren was about to pull out. After a few seconds more, he finally pulled out the Fire, Ice, and Thunder Diamonds. They all gasped in shock as Mirren just held them as he glared at the dragon-Emralda. She slowly got up, and Goldenfire just blew her away with a blast of fire. She roared in pain as the golden blaze scorched her body, and knocked her back against the floor. Everyone else besides Mirren turned their heads away from the bright light and great heat. Soon Goldenfire stopped, and there laid a scorched dragon- Emralda. She let out a low moan of pain, and she suddenly changed back to her human form.

She lay on the floor groaning in pain for a few more moments before she finally got up. She was incredibly hurt, had a bunch of bloody cuts and other wounds on her body that stained her dress. She staggered for a few more moments before finally speaking.

"Please Mirren, don't kill me, I'm sorry for what I've done, I'll never try and do anything to you or your friends again" she pleaded as she clutched her wounds. Mirren's eyes narrowed.

"Forgive you?" he asked scornfully, "forgive you after you took my best friends and loved ones and planned to kill them and me over some stupid incident five years ago? For something ~you~ started? You'd never show me or any of my friends mercy. You will pay for all your evil." Mirren then threw the Thunder Diamond in the air. He held the Ice Diamond in his left hand and the Fire Diamond in his right hand. As the Thunder Diamond came down, he caught it into between the other two diamonds.

"Here comes the pain Emralda, here comes the pain!" The three legendary diamonds then lit up, and soon they shot out their special powers. A beam of ice came from the Ice Diamond, a blast of fire came from the Fire Diamond, and a thunder bolt came from the Thunder Diamond. They all came flying towards her as Mirren screamed in fury and as she screamed in fear.

Soon, all the blasts hit her, and a great explosion of power erupted. The ice just literally froze parts of her body, the fire burnt other parts, and the thunder just blasted away everything else. She screamed in pain as she felt the powers just annihilate her body, and Ganon watched in horror as he saw his sister die from the blasts of power.

Soon, the blasts stopped, and Emralda just fell to the ground as she closed her eyes. Ganon then turned back into Ganondorf and as she fell to the floor, he instantly ran to her side. He knelt down next to his dead sister, and held her in his arms. He looked at her through his sorrowful eyes, and he couldn't believe she was dead. He set her down on the ground as her body slowly disappeared. He just held his head down in sadness. Everyone watched in shock as they saw Ganondorf mourn for his dead sister. The only ones who didn't have an expression of shock were Link and Mirren, who just glared at him. He finally got up and screamed in rage like no other. His eyes filled up with anger, and he yelled even louder. The ground literally shook, and he looked at Mirren and Link with pure hatred and rage in his eyes.

"You two will pay for Emralda!" he shouted, "especially you Mirren! You killed my sister, and on behalf of her, I'll make your death the worst ever! I'll make you and all of your friends suffer for her death! I'm going to change into my ultimate form and kill every one of you! Prepare to see Shadow Ganondorf you fools; and suffer!!!!!!!"

Ganondorf then screamed in complete rage, fury, and power. Black energy surrounded his body as he just kept screaming. It was like when Mirren had powered up in the Chamber of Sages. There was tons of wind, the ground beneath Ganondorf began cracking, the whole room shook, and the windows also began to crack, and a few even shattered. After about a full minute of this, Ganondorf let one last incredible scream, and he began to change.

His hair and eyes turned into fire, his green skin darkened, his already huge muscles bulged, two huge curved bones suddenly sprouted from his shoulders, a line of small black spikes formed on both of his arms, his armor was as black as ever and looked like Dark Link's, and finally an enormous battle sword appeared in his hand. He finally stopped yelling, and just hovered in mid air as dark energy still surrounded his body.

Everyone just froze in shock, and their jaws dropped down. They had never seen anything like it. They couldn't believe Ganondorf actually had a more powerful state than Ganon, and that they were all seeing it right then and there. Shadow Ganondorf just glared as his literally fiery eyes settled on Link.

He pointed his finger at him, and shot a beam of energy at him. It struck Link head on, and it went right through him. Link didn't even scream. He just gasped in shock and his widened in pain.

"Liiiiiiiiiiiiink!!!!!!!!" yelled Zelda as tears poured from her eyes.

"Broooooooooooooo!!!!!!" screamed Mirren as tears also formed in his eyes. Link just hung in mid air the way he was for a few more seconds before Shadow Ganondorf shot two fireballs from his eyes. They both hit Link, and sent him flying into the wall. He fell down to the floor, and closed his eyes. Mirren just stood in shock as he saw his brother just hit the wall still burning from the fire. His mouth hung right down as tears rolled down his eyes. He dropped the Goddesses' Sword and just couldn't believe what he had just seen.

Shadow Ganondorf then looked at him and grinned wickedly. "So boy, what is it like to see your brother die?" he taunted. Zelda was now weeping terribly, and Farore also had tears pouring from her eyes. Mirren didn't look at Shadow Ganondorf; he just stared at his dead brother. He then just fell to his hands and knees and cried like heck. Tear after tear after tear just came out from his eyes and stained the floor.

"Link! No!" he sobbed. He couldn't say anything else. He just kept on crying as Shadow Ganondorf just laughed wickedly.

"Now you know what's it's like to lose a family member you fool" he spoke, "I told you I'd make you and all your friends suffer, and I figured it'd be best if I started off this way, with your own flesh and blood." Shadow Ganondorf then let out another wicked laugh, and Mirren slowly got up as he shed his final tears. He took the Goddesses' Sword and looked at Shadow Ganondorf with tears and pure rage in his eyes.

"You'll be sorry for what you've done to my brother!!!!!!" he yelled. He screamed in fury and lunged at Shadow Ganondorf. He went for a slash, and then another, then a stab, then a slice, and then another slash. But each time he did this; Shadow Ganondorf would lift up his great sword and block the shot. But Mirren didn't stop. With pure anger inside of him, he kept on attacking. He jumped back and then jumped forward at Shadow Ganondorf. He lifted his sword above his head and brought it down. As usual though, Shadow Ganondorf blocked the shot, but this time retaliated.

He shot another two fireballs from his eyes, and they both hit Mirren. He yelled in pain and flew back. He crashed in the ground and groaned in pain from the burning pain. Goldenfire was angered that his master was hurt, and went to attack Shadow Ganondorf. He saw the great dragon coming, and simply threw his hand out and shot three dark energy bolts at it. Each one hit, and the dragon roared in pain as he was knocked against the wall unconscious. Shadow Ganondorf laughed evilly.

"Ha!" he exclaimed turning to Mirren, "you don't stand a chance against my ultimate form, and neither does your stupid dragon! Take this!" He then shot a ball of dark energy like the times before from his hand, but these ones were triple the power. Mirren slowly lifted his head up and saw the sphere of dark energy. He knew he couldn't evade it or block it, so he just prepared for the pain. It struck his already wounded body and exploded upon him. It burned him and just crushed his small body. He screamed in pain as it damaged his armor and burned it.

Everyone gasped in horror as they watched it hurt Mirren so badly. They couldn't believe the extraordinary amount of pain he had already taking, and now what he was getting was just even worse. They couldn't believe how strong Shadow Ganondorf was, and they just wondered if Mirren really could defeat him now.

"What is he gonna do? He doesn't stand a chance against him!" yelled Mardera.

"No kidding! But Mirren isn't one to go down just like that, he'll find a way I know it!" shouted Taursus. Jarlis gritted his teeth. It just hurt him so much to see his lifelong pal suffer so much at that moment.

"Don't give up Mirren! You can do it!" he yelled, "I know you can!" Mirren slowly got up, and he breathed heavily as he glared at Shadow Ganondorf through angered eyes. His best friend's words had helped him a lot, and it almost gave him a power boost in a way. The encouragement from a true friend was the best thing Mirren could get at that point, and he was receiving it fully, it truly helped.

He sneered at Shadow Ganondorf, and got in a battle position. He screamed in fury, and charged at him. With his hands grasping the Goddesses' Sword, Mirren was ready to attack Shadow Ganondorf. The anger, hatred, and rage inside of him were building up, but it wasn't totally triggered. But even with the disadvantage, he still jumped at him, and went for a great stab to Shadow Ganondorf's neck.

The Scourge of Hyrule grinned evilly and simply held his hand out. As the blade came closer and closer to his neck, he could only laugh quietly. Soon the sacred sword was only inches from his unprotected neck, but it suddenly stopped just before it hit. Mirren's jaw just dropped as he saw Shadow Ganondorf grasp the incredible blade and not even flinch any pain. He couldn't believe he was clutching one of the most powerful swords ever, and showed no expression of pain whatsoever.

"My God." whispered Malon, "he's just such an incredible thing, how can he do that?" Shadow Ganondorf smiled diabolically at the awe struck Mirren and lifted his great blade in the air. He soon brought it down, and did a terrible vertical slash across Mirren's body. He screamed in pain and agony as he felt the sword cut right through his armor and slice his skin wide open.

He flew over by the windows once again and landed hard on the floor. He just screamed in pain as he clutched his upper chest (which was the main part to be hit). He felt the cut right on his skin, and also felt his blood now on his hands. He rived in pain as everyone watched in horror. Shadow Ganondorf took a liking to this and turned to them.

"How does it feel fools?" he began, "how does it feel to see the only one who can save you begin to die right before your eyes? It must hurt all of you to see your friend there just rive in pain from that attack. How does it feel Zelda, to see the boy you've trusted so much just fight a losing battle? The boy who you almost consider your own little brother? It's painful isn't it? Well you deserve it, and you and that brat and everyone else here will suffer; just like Link." Shadow Ganondorf then grinned wickedly before he let out one of the most evil laughs ever. Tears just poured from Zelda's eyes as she thought of her dead loved one...Link. The man she'd love for such a time, the man who saved her from Ganondorf four years ago, the man who had always been there for her. And the worst was that she had never even been able to tell him she loved him.

She then just lost it and wept terribly. Shadow Ganondorf still laughed wickedly as he saw Zelda just emotionally suffer so much. Mirren slowly got up and saw everything. He saw Shadow Ganondorf laughing so evilly, and Zelda crying. His eyes lit up in rage and he was fully up. He gritted his teeth as he held the Goddesses' Sword upright, and he just glared at Shadow Ganondorf with the most enraged eyes ever. Shadow Ganondorf noticed this and stopped laughing as he saw the enraged Mirren.

"You've just destroyed my life enough Ganondorf!" he yelled, "You took my best friends and loved ones from me and held them captive here until I came to fight you! You killed my older brother and are making my other living friends suffer! I'm gonna make you pay!!!!" Mirren then screamed in rage as he pointed his sword at Shadow Ganondorf. He yelled even more, and shot the beam of energy from it.

It came flying from the sacred sword and soared towards Shadow Ganondorf. Even though he was really just a few seconds from death, he grinned diabolically. He threw his blade away, and held out both arms. He charged up a great dark energy bolt, and fired it at the oncoming beam with a yell of fury. The two great powers crashed against each other, and sent tons of wind flying everywhere. It was right now an energy grapple between Mirren and Shadow Ganondorf.

They both yelled in power and fury as they pushed more power into their blasts. There was a great deal of illumination and everyone watching could seriously feel the power from both blasts.

"Good God! How much power is that!?" yelled Jarlis.

"A heck of a lot kid, those two are using their greatest power right now" answered Din, "they're using up all of their power right now on these final blasts. This'll be the decider of the battle. Whoever can overcome his foe's attack will have the necessary chance to go in for the final blow and finish the battle. We can only hope Mirren succeeds." Everyone listened to the somewhat grim words of the Goddess of Power and turned to see the struggle. They watched and hoped that Mirren ~would~ win.

But unfortunately, Mirren was already weak, and was getting tired from his attack. Shadow Ganondorf was at full power, and was pushing in more power to his dark energy bolt by the second. His attack began pushing harder against Mirren's, and it slowly began pushing it back to Mirren. He laughed evilly as he watched his attack overcome Mirren's and slowly make its way to him.

"Ha! I told you boy! There is no way to defeat me!" he yelled in a taunting way, "I'm much too powerful for you! And I'd surely overcome your attack in this stage of power, but I'd rather see you die right here, right now!" Suddenly, the Triforce of Power appeared on the back of his hand, and everyone (including Mirren) gasped in shock. Their jaws hung down as they saw it glow; Mirren was certainly done for. "With the Triforce of Power giving me the most energy I've ever had, I can finally kill you! Take this kid!!" Shadow Ganondorf then yelled as he felt the power flow through his veins. His bolt then just instantly began crashing through Mirren's attack; and it was only seconds from killing him. Mirren knew he was done for, and closed his eyes ready to die. But when he closed them; he heard a familiar voice.

~"Mirren, it's me Farore. I'm obviously talking through you mentally, but that's not the point. Listen, you must get a power boost right now, or you'll die and everything you've fought for will be for nothing. Increase that rage; use it to its full potential. Think of Link, think or all your friends, think of every living thing in Hyrule, think of Zelda. You wouldn't let her die; would you?"~

Mirren instantly opened his eyes and in a split second, thought of everything. His eyes looked even more enraged as he just screamed even louder than ever before as he unleashed his great power. Everyone gasped in shock as a glow of golden light surrounded his body, and he held up his hand with the back of it facing everyone and Shadow Ganondorf. He yelled in fury, and the upside-down triangle appeared on it. Everyone just froze in shock, especially Shadow Ganondorf.

"No way" he whispered in shock and fear, "he actually has a piece of the Triforce."

"You better believe it Ganondorf!" shouted Nayru, "when you had went to his village all those years ago looking for the Triforce, you had found a piece of it within him as he killed you and Emralda. Have you ever noticed the missing triangle in the Triforce? That's because we gave it to Mirren, and it's the most powerful piece of the Triforce. It is a combination of power, wisdom, and courage. We three Goddesses put each of our powers in it; it is more powerful than all the others combined. Mirren holds none other than the legendary; Triforce of Justice!"

Everyone just froze in shock as Shadow Ganondorf just went into a trance of fear; he knew his life was over. Mirren then screamed even louder and unleashed all of his power. The floor beneath him split open, and all the windows just shattered into thousands of pieces. He then unleashed his great energy blast, and he sent it flying at Shadow Ganondorf. The beam of energy flew straight through Shadow Ganondorf's energy bolt, and he just watched helplessly as it got closer.

It soon got through the whole energy bolt, and hit him head on. It exploded on his body and annihilated him with its great energy. He roared in pain and just hung helplessly in the air as it rocked his body. As it surrounded him and pounded him with power, the Goddesses' Sword began glowing, and Mirren charged straight at Shadow Ganondorf screaming in rage. He jumped straight at him, and pulled the sword back. Shadow Ganondorf yelled in fear as Mirren got closer. Mirren then pushed the sword forward; and stabbed him straight through the heart. He screamed in agony as he felt the sacred blade pierce his dark, evil heart. He felt its sacred, and great power finish off the remaining life in him, and he knew he had been killed. Mirren pulled the sword back, and revealed a great gash in Shadow Ganondorf's chest. It was covered in blood, and slowly Shadow Ganondorf began to disappear. But even as this, he managed to speak in a quiet, shocked tone of voice.

"No.I've lost. I've lost to Mirren, a child. I've lost to a boy who holds the most powerful piece of the Triforce ever. I've been defeated, along with my sister. I've been defeated by this child, the most powerful warrior in Hyrule. Someday Mirren, me and Emralda will come back and get our revenge!" Shadow Ganondorf's body then fully disappeared in a flash of black light. Everyone turned away for a moment, before finally looking back to see Mirren standing as he breathed heavily from his pain and great fatigue. He still held the Goddesses' Sword in hand, and the Triforce of Justice still glowed on his hand. He slowly lifted his head up, and smiled as he gave them a thumb up. They all smiled with relief and joy as their chains disappeared and they floated down to the ground. They all looked at Mirren and their faces were filled with happiness. After all of what happened, he had finally defeat Ganondorf and Emralda. He was victorious.
