Chapter 9: Duel of the fates

"Liea! No!" Link shouted while trying to help her. He was unable to assist Liea when Ganondorf almost hit him with his massive sword. "You're not going to get away with this!" Link growled.

"Too late, I already did! Now prepare to die!" Ganondorf laughed evilly.

"Whatever you say Ganondorf. But I'm telling you, it's not going to be my funeral; oh please, everyone would miss me too much. You keep forgetting; it's your funeral scum bag!" Link lunged toward Ganondorf, striking him in the arm.

"Ugg! I will not be defeated by you!" Ganondorf clutched his arms then licked the blood off his hands and smirked.

Link wanted to puke. He masked his feelings and took out his bow and arrow. Link fired several shots but only one hit Ganondorf in the shoulder. He grinned and pulled it out and smashed it into the ground. Ganondorf let out a battle cry and charged at Link with his sword. Link held up his sword to defend himself. The battle between Link and Ganondorf seemed to last forever. They stabbed each other and blocked each other's shots.

Liea was still lying on the ground from the blow. She finally regained consciousness and was trying to make an effort to get up. Using the wall as her support, Liea forced herself up despite the agonizing pain. She leaned against the wall watching the two gruesomely battle it out.

Ganondorf raised his arms above his head and formed a huge black mass throwing it at Link immediately. Link screamed as he was brutally slammed into the wall knocking him unconscious. Ganondorf laughed with Malice in is voice.

"Ha, ha! That'll teach you to mess with me! Now I have all three pieces of the Triforce and shall take control of this pathetic land you call Hyrule!!!" Ganondorf kept laughing at his success of defeating Link.

"Oh, no! Link! Oh, please, no!" Liea's whispers turned into screams as she ran to the aide of the helpless Hero. "Oh, please don't die! We need you Link!" Liea tried to shake Link to wake him, but to no use. Liea placed her head on Link's chest to see if he was still breathing. "Good, at least he's still breathing, but barely. But please wake up Link! Please don't leave me here to defend for myself against this beast!" Liea said in tears and rested her head on his chest.

A bright light started glowing on Liea's right hand in the shape of the Triforce with the upside-down middle piece glowing the brightest. "What's happening to my hand? It's glowing! All of sudden I feel stronger and feel some powerful energy flowing through me." Liea looked down and noticed the Master Sword Link was using previously. She picked it up and felt an unusual energy surge in her.

"Oh Lord, give me strength to condemn this monster back to hell where it came from! Amen." Liea whispered under her breath glaring at Ganondorf laughing. "Hey Ganondork, think fast!" Liea held up the sword and began to swing it throwing magic beams at the heartless fool.

"What? You fool, you can't stop---AH!" Ganondorf fell to the ground surprised at what Liea had done. "Well, well. Looks like you've got some spunk in you twerp," He groaned. "Well, sweetheart, this isn't time to play around with dollies and senseless toys, now is it? Why don't you just go home and let me take care of these two by myself." The babyish way that Ganondorf spoke made Liea real angry.

"Hey! I'm not a baby just going to cry and run off! I'm here and ready to stand for Hyrule and its people. I'll fight you to the end. What do you say to that? Or is this too hard and scary for a wimp like you?" Liea retorted.

"Ooh, a big shot aren't we now?"

"Bring it on slugger."

Ganondorf took out his sword once again ready to fight to the death. "Well, you should be much easier to defeat than that pathetic excuse for a Hero."

"Well let's find out, shall we?"

While Liea and Ganondorf exchanged battle cries Link still lied on the floor now conscious of his surroundings. Link barely heard every word that Ganondorf said giving him more strength to get up. He placed his hands in front of him and pushed up.

Liea made the first swing at Ganondorf hitting him in the leg. Ganondorf was in pain momentarily then fired several dark magic balls at Liea. She tried to block them, but it was too much for her to handle and failed. She was slammed into the ground, but surprisingly quickly got up. Ganondorf was momentarily puzzled. They battled it out at hearts wit trying to defeat each other for quite some time, but to no avail. Swinging swords and some form of magic was really the only thing you could see and hear, besides the screams and cries, between the two; until one faithful voice spoke up.

"So I'm a pathetic excuse for a hero you say, Ganondorf?" That voice was Link's as he used his Triforce magic to somewhat revive himself and stood up to the evil fiend.

"What!" Ganondorf and Liea both said looking at the brave soldier. Ganondorf was quick to thinking and saw that Liea was distracted and swung at her.

"Liea, look out!" Link screamed.
