Ganondorf, the King: Chapter 5

Special thanks to Animefreak 2000 for reviewing all those times!
Last time we left off, Ganondorf and Caidro formed and alliance, and Caidro is he new king. Cardaras and Link were on their way to Ganondorf's Castle. Without further setback, on with the story!
In Hyrule field-
Cardaras and Link were walking north, to Ganondorf's Castle (though Caidro was now King). When they approached the battle arena, it started to thunderstorm.
"Link, they are having a tournament! This sign says that the prize is a fast horse and five thousand rupees! Link?"
Link was already walking to the Battle Arena, eager for the winnings.
"Hey! HEY LINK, WAIT UP!"
At the Battle Arena-
Link and Cardaras went up to the first room. They saw a female Hylian. She was behind a desk.
"Are you here for the tournament?"
"Yes," said Cardaras, "Is it too late?"
"No. What are your names?"
"My name is Cardaras, this is my companion, Link."
"Link?"
"Malon!"
Link grinned as he saw her for the first time in a LONG time. They hugged, and the old friends started talking.
"Malon, you should run away."
"No, they'll hunt me down somehow."
"Malon, tell Cardaras about your life."
"Why?"
"Tell me about it." Cardaras said quickly.
"I...I have lived here all my life, but before Ganondorf was King, It was Lon Lon Ranch, a ranch with horses, cows, and cuccos. I ran it with my father Talon, and the helper Ingo. Then Ganondorf came and took over Hyrule with his monsters. We were all his slaves, and construction started on this land. It became an arena, for Ganondorf's pleasure. I was a slave, as was my father, and Ingo was a janitor. My father had a heart problem, and was killed because he could do little work-may he rest in peace- and I do everything here, including signing people up for tournaments. Ganondorf would have come, but a man named Caidro took his place as king. They have formed an alliance, with Ganondorf being his right-hand man. One of his servants came here to inform everyone here."
"So Caidro is king...I am not surprised. Link, we've not much time."
"Surely enough to win this tournament and rescue Malon!"
"I couldn't ask you to do that for me."
"Link is correct, though we must not play with our enemies. Malon, we will let you escape even if it means war against the audience."
"Thank you, I can't tell you how happy I am. My father would be proud."
They heard a voice,
"ALL FIGHTERS GET READY!!!"
Link and Cardaras ran down the hall, and entered a room. They saw teams of 4. They were outnumbered, but only in numbers.
"The first round will begin. Will Team A and B come onto the field?"
Two groups left the room. Cardaras and Link were Team H. They looked out a window onto the field.
"Ready...BEGIN!!"
Team A had four members, all short and fat fighters with hooked blades. Team B had a young boy, a teenager, a middle aged man, and an old man. They all had axes.
(This part will have some gore in it)
The teenager on Team B chopped a member of A right down the middle. A light blinked, showing one victory. The three remaining men teamed up on the old man, least likely to defend himself. Surprisingly, the man dodged the first two, but got hit in the side with a hooked blade, drastically slowing him down. The other two jabbed theirs into him, making him collapse. A light on the opposite side of the field lit up, showing team A's victory. Team A now went for the young boy, not paying any attention to the man and teenager. They both got a kill, shoving their axe up the men's back. Two more lights went up, team B winning. One was left on A, swinging his hook wildly. Team B crowded around him, and when they separated, there was no man there. Team B had won.
"TEAM B WINS!"
"That was pretty impressive." Said Link.
"No, they are nothing. The boy and old man were and are there to get the attention of the attackers, forgetting the strength of the teenager and man. Their strategy is risky."
"NEXT: TEAM C AGAINST TEAM D!"
A group of thin men with steel sticks walked up, team C. A group of women got onto the field; team D. They had daggers to their thighs.
"READY...BEGIN!"
Team C charged at the women, but they dodged, jumping to the other side of the ring. The men turned around, getting out their steel poles, ready for attack. They were surprised to see the women bat their eyelashes at them, and walk up to them, trying to seduce the men. They just stood their, not attacking, as the women got closer. One woman got closest, and wrapped her arms around the man's neck, making him blush. She moved her hands down...to her dagger and quickly slit his neck.
"What a fool." Said Cardaras as he yawned.
The men, now knowing not to fall for the women's spell, raced to them. One slowly started lifting her shirt, slowing the men down. She got closer to them, and lifted it higher. They didn't seem to realize she had another shirt under it, and put her hands on her dagger. She jabbed it into the side of another man. He was down. The two men, realizing their strategy were seducing the men, tried to smack the 4 women. One tackled a man down with surprising strength, and kissed him on the lips.
"The kiss of death." She murmured. That man heard nothing more.
Down to one man left, he fled. Team C was a flawless winner.
"TEAM C, THE WINNERS!" Yelled the announcer.
"They better have another strategy, they fight Team B in the next round, and they now know Team C's strategy."
"Team E AGAINST TEAM F!"
A group of strong looking warriors approached a group of Zoras.
"READY...GO!"
"Both teams raced at each other, the strongest of them all would survive. To tell the truth, it isn't really this descriptive this time. The Zora's jabbed their fins into the enemies' stomachs as they blocked with the other one. Team F wins.
"TEAM F WINS!!"
"They are talented, though not as strong as us." Mentioned Cardaras.
"TEAM G AGAINST TEAM H!!"
"That is we, Cardaras. Let's go."
The two remaining teams left the room, and got onto the field. Team H, Link and Cardaras, had only two people while everyone else had four.
"READY...GO!"
Team G surrounded the two, as Cardaras got out his spear, as Link got out his sword. Finally our heroes get to fight! Cardaras formed a red sparkly light in his hand, as Link put away his Sword and got out his arrows. Link shot out a Fire arrow at one, and Cardaras shot the light at another. The ones that received the blow were tossed out of the ring. The match was even. Link started to swing at a person with two small daggers, as Cardaras fought with someone that had a spear of his own. Cardaras swung his long ranched weapon, knocking down the person Link was fighting, as Link jumped as the spear moved below him, and threw the master sword at the man Cardaras was fighting. Both men fell, and Team H moved on.
"TEAM H WINS!! FIRST ROUND OVER!"
"That was some good fighting, Link."
"Same to you. Come, we go this way."
They moved to a different room, where the winning teams were. It was a much less shabbier room; it was easy to tell. The teams were talking, arguing, meditating, sleeping, or sparring.
"We must be on our guard, Link. We fight Team F, the Zoras, soon."
Next matches:
Team B Vs. Team C
Team F Vs. Team H
A/n: Sorry for the short chapter and the fact that Ganondorf and Caidro weren't in it, but who can say no to some old school fighting? I know it might have been confusing a little, but I'm not working at my best since I'm rusty and I'm tired. I apologize. Don't forget to review.
