Well, I've just received yet another review for The Switch (I'm surprised that people are still finding it, it's been so long since I finished with it), and I'd like to say that I enjoy fluff. If you knew me, or in a few people's case if you do know me, you'd think this to be extremely uncharacteristic of me. I mean, I'm not that type of person, not even if you get to know me extremely well. However, when I get into the world of fan fiction, I can't help but enjoy fluff. It's really strange, too, because when I'm reading it, it's not like it's Zelda or Harry Potter or Pokémon or anything else that it might be based on anymore. The characters retain their image in my mind, but the only time the canon crosses my mind is for the necessary background information. And if I'm playing Zelda, or reading Harry Potter, or watching Hamtaro (scary, I know), it never crosses my mind. I never go to Lon Lon Ranch and start absentmindedly looking for the warp in the back room, or start gawking at Malon, or ever thinking about what goes on here, or in any other fic. Well, there I go again. (This is where the lost chapter 20 used to be before FFic.net's policies made me un-lose it. This used to be ch.21, and ch.20 used to be where I responded to reviews once.)
Before I get to this for real, I'd like to respond yet again to Dez384, who will be rewarded nicely if he reads this whole chapter, ending author's note and all. And before I start, I do not mean to offend anybody or drive anybody away. I appreciate and respect your feedback. If I sound rude, it's quite unintentional and I apologize. Now, I'm not sure what the significance of the quote is, although I have a general idea. No matter how much I like Ruto, I like Malon more, and that's just the way it is. I'm sorry if you don't share the same opinion, and I don't mean to offend you. I really do like Zoras and Ruto, but I've paired Link with Malon, Malon is my favorite female character in the series, and I intend to leave this marriage alone. However, since you have brought Ruto to my attention, I've decided that I want to include her. I think that I'm going to create another sequel soon, and I want to make it a fluffy piece. An extremely fluffy piece. And four couples is better than three for something like that, is it not? I hope I haven't offended you, and I hope you'll forgive me if I have, it was unintentional. I'll understand if you stop reading, although if you keep reading, you'll be pleasantly surprised soon. (*thinks to self: Why do I get the feeling that I'm going to have Link paired with every sage except Rauru, Darunia, and Impa by the end of this?*) Wow. I've gone on way too much considering I haven't even started yet! Now, for the chapter that REALLY follows chapter 29!
Note: Fado's hair is green, like Saria's, and all previous references to it being brown have been altered. It was still blonde before he grew up, but it is green now. His clothes are still purple.
The Deity's Escape
Chapter 20
Day Fifteen, Third Day, Seventh Three Day Cycle
Moon Arena
"Well, mark my words, you will not defeat me... This is between you and me, Link."
"Bring it on." Link and the Fierce Deity each stood ready for the other's attack, neither moving first. At the exact same moment, both moved...
The deity was surprised by Link's speed and agility. He never sensed this when he had been on Link's face as a mask. Both the oni and the god were too fast for each other. However, while this was going on, Link was secretly concentrating, and hoping that what he was doing would work.
Suddenly, time froze, although nobody sensed it. Link and Malon were removed from their bodies and found themselves in a white expanse. "What did you do, Link? How?"
"I'm not sure, Malon. Listen. I need you to trade Triforce pieces with me for a while."
"Sure, Link, but what for?"
"You'll see." Link and Malon grabbed each other's left hand, and the Triforce marks on the back changed. Link's rotated clockwise so the brighter part was on top, while Malon's rotated counterclockwise, placing the brighter part on the left. "Thanks, Malon. I'll bring us back here to trade back in a minute." Link concentrated again, and time resumed in the arena.
"What have you done, boy? I noticed the little glitch in time just now, and I know that you did it."
Link just smirked and kept fighting, still not getting hit or getting in a hit. He was still concentrating, but on something different. Just as his shadow started to melt, he froze time and switched Triforce pieces with Malon again. When time resumed again, Link's shadow turned into the shadow of a blob.
"I can sense the energy you have released. I don't know what you're trying to do, but it won't help you any. Nothing can help you!" With a magical blast, he knocked Link off his feet, but Link just fell through his own shadow, the shape of which the deity had just noticed. While all six fairies in the room flew up to the Fierce Deity and glowed as furiously as they could, making sure to stay in front of him, Link sprung out of the shadow being cast directly behind the deity and plunged the Master Sword into his back.
Link fell back into the shadow, and the fairies got behind the deity. Link sprung out of the new shadow, holding the Master Sword. Link's shadow became three dimensional and formed Dark Link, who Link had resurrected as an ally. Dark Link grabbed the Shadow Sword, which Link had covered with a simple spell to color it like the Master Sword, out of the deity, who had been slowed down by the piece of metal sticking through his gut.
With the new gap in speed, as well as someone mirroring his moves, Link had no problem getting in several more hits on the deity. However, Link was tiring, and the Fierce Deity, while becoming more and more injured, showed no signs of fatigue. How had he gotten into this situation? How had this ancestor of his become so powerful?
"The... the gauntlet!" Link called upon the power of the same wish the Fierce Deity had exploited in the first place to save Termina from himself.
"What... What's happening to me?" asked the Fierce Deity, although he already knew the answer. However, Link was not calling upon only one wish. He thought back to when he created Tael. While the Fierce Deity, spirit, power, form, and all was pulled into his face, the physical matter than had been his body began to change. A new spirit entered it, and it took the shape of a form that could be seen in three other places in the room. A white glow surrounded the face of the creature, while a blue glow surrounded the rest.
Link knew that the battle was out of his hands now. The fate of Termina rested in the hands of this new person, named Miku in honor of the Zora, Mikau. "Get off my face!" screamed Miku in a voice that sounded very much like those of his brothers. The Fierce Deity was powerless against the pulling, and finally, the mask came off and flew to join the boss remains and the original Fair Deity Mask.
"It's over." Nobody was sure who spoke, and nobody would admit to it later. It may not have been one of the thirteen at all. Nobody could tell, because a white glow appeared in the room. As the physical form of the moon was destroyed once more, the moon realm was being brought away from Termina again, and there were thirteen heroes that had to remain in the dimension parallel to Hyrule.
Everyone felt themselves falling, and the Song of Time could be heard, while the face of Termina's clock surrounded them in a spiral.
Well, what do you think of that?! Hah! I'm glad to have finally gotten that over with. I feel that I'm rather incompetent at writing battles. The next chapter will be the last, but do not fear, for I shall return with part three of The Switch series! I don't suppose any of you thought about the side effect of Miku, did you? Well, let's just say that it will grant the wish of a certain reviewer. But that will have to wait until the next story! I'm glad I'm starting it this way this time. It will be much easier and less confusing to start the story as a sequel on purpose rather than cleaving an already existing story in two. Well, I'm going to start the next chapter immediately! I can't wait for the sequel, and I have so many ideas in mind! Oh, did you notice that I really don't want to offend people? I mean, I only used some form of the word offend four times, not counting the last two times! Well, I guess I just want to keep everyone happy, although I'm not sacrificing any of my happiness to do so. In fact, I'd be disappointed if I couldn't write about Ruto, now that she's been brought to my attention. So even if I get a kajillion objections, I'm writing about Ruto no matter what!
