Chapter 13: It's Over
The group made it to the Temple of Time just as it got dark out. It got much colder out due to the sun not being out. Everyone was grateful for the warmth that the temple gave. Link was starting to feel a bit exhausted after that fight, as was everyone else. Michelle's wound had reopened during the fight and somehow got bigger, causing her shoulder to hurt immensely. She walked over to the wall and rested her back against it, making sure the cold wall was against the back of her hurt shoulder. Falcon noticed her position and knew it all too well. He walked over to her quietly.
"Michelle, are you feeling okay," asked Falcon. Michelle looked up at him, then winced and gripped her shoulder once more, answering in a pained voice.
"Just peachy. . ." She shut her eyes tightly like she was shutting out something, and soon Fox noticed the change. He walks over to her worriedly and places a hand on her good shoulder, looking at her.
"We need to get Kimoru's spirit out of you, and soon," suggested Fox. "Maybe it'll help relieve some of your pain." Michelle nodded, smiled slightly, then closed her eyes and collapsed. Fox caught her before she hit the ground. Everyone soon noticed their friend passing out without warning and rushed over to her, Link darting in front. Zelda (who had changed back to her normal self after entering the temple) checked Michelle over for any other abnormalities besides her open wound.
"Kimoru's spirit is feeding off of Michelle's pain and is weakening her," explained Zelda.
"But," started Link, obviously upset, "But Samus said that if she kept her ring on, she'd be fine! And her ring is still on!"
"Samus must not have seen that injuries can cause his spirit to react as well," sighed Fox. Link looked at the Pedestrial of Time and got a determined look on his face. He scooped Michelle into his arms and motioned for Zelda and Ganondorf to follow him. Fox, Navi, and Falcon understood what they were going to do and stayed put. The same portal as before appeared in front of the pedestrial. The three looked at each other, nodded, and stepped into the portal once more.
Link looked pleadingly at the Triforce, Zelda and Ganondorf looking at their fallen colleague with great worry.
"Please, Goddesses of Hyrule," pleaded Link, tears starting to form in his eyes. "Please remove Kimoru's spirit from Michelle's body. She's wounded, and his spirit is trying to take over." There was a long pause of awkward silence. Zelda clasped her hands together in front of her chest. Ganondorf tapped his foot impatiently, crossing his arms. His face didn't show it, but he was just as worried about Michelle as the others were. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity of silence, the Triforce spoke.
"She has fulfilled our wishes, and has awoken as the Heroine of Time, who was supposed to be from another world, as this one is. Her task is not yet complete, as her world is in peril as well. Set her down on the platform so we may remove the evil one's spirit." Link nodded and did as he was told, gently laying Michelle down on the platform, then slowly backed off. At that moment, once Link was off the platform, a bright, golden glow emitted from both the Triforce and Michelle, blinding the three Triforce holders, forcing them to shield their eyes. When the aura died down, Michelle's eyes fluttered open and she sat up, rubbing her head.
"What. . . What happened," asked Michelle, confused. She looked around and saw that she was in the Sacred Realm once more. Furthermore, she noticed that her wound was gone and her shoulder no longer hurt. She quickly stood up and looked at her friends, who were smiling at her happily. She smiled back and ran up to Link, hugging him happily. The two shared a brief kiss. It was over. Their fears of Kimoru were over. He was never going to come back.
"Your task as Heroine of Time has not yet been fulfilled," interrupted the Triforce. Everyone's gaze quickly turned to the golden triangles. "Your time to fulfill that task is not now. Now, you must return to your world."
"Crap! I have to take my final exams," cried out Michelle, realizing she hasn't taken her first bell exam yet.
"Do not worry. We will send you back to before you have to go to your destination."
"Thank you so much." As everyone bowed (or curtsied in Zelda's case), they were instantly transported back to the Temple of Time.
"You're back," cried out Navi, flying to her partner. The four walked back to their companions. Link and Michelle were holding hands, Link with a happy expression on his face while Michelle had a look of deep thought. Zelda and Ganondorf walked behind them, also with happy expressions (as close to happy as you can get with Ganondorf that is). Fox and Falcon smiled happily, knowing their friend was okay. Then, a portal formed by the door, which lead back to Michelle's school. Michelle stopped and looked at the portal, knowing it was time to go. She hugged her friends good bye, kissed Link, then waved to them as she walked backwards into the portal. Link smiled happily.
"She's going to be okay," exclaimed Link.
"Can I go back to being evil now," whined Ganondorf. Everyone looked at him, then laughed.
"I suggest you wait until we get back to the mansion," chuckled Falcon. Fox looked around, then noticed someone was missing.
"Hey," he stated. "Where's Navi?"
"Michelle, c'mon, we're going to be late for class," cried out Mel. "The bell's gonna ring any second now!"
"Crap! Later," shouted Michelle as she darted to her first block class. "Why couldn't I be exempt from this exam like I am from my other ones!?"
"Just lucky, I guess," peeped a voice from Michelle's backpack. Suddenly, a fairy with a light blue glow to her popped out of the bag and flew in Michelle's face, causing her to stop dead in her tracks.
". . . Navi. . ."
