Diamond fell down the hole like a rock. When he finally reached the end he
fell into a pool. The pool surrounded a circular stone floor that was in
the center of the room. He got out of the water and shook himself off. He
then noticed the Silver Moon, sitting on a pedestal much like the one in
the main room. He reached out to the jewel but a silver staff suddenly
smacked his wrist down.
"You know, I hate it when people touch my things. Be a good boy and don't." Creon said.
"I'm sorry I didn't see your name on it." Diamond replied.
"Well I'll just have to remember to put it there next time." Creon said. "So kid, I see you got past the Troll and the Dark Reflection, but can you handle me?"
"I've come this far. No use in running." Diamond answered.
"Don't worry, I'm the only one who's going to do the running." Creon said as he grabbed the Silver Moon off the pedestal and darted off like a bullet. Diamond looked around for the Cut Throat. Creon appeared behind Diamond with his elbow barely touching his spine. "You know I couldn't help but notice that when you were fighting the Dark Reflection, you mentioned that you back was your weakness. That was a mistake."
"I guess I should have known better." Diamond said as he threw a backhand punch, but Creon was long gone. Diamond drew both his regular sword and his Elemental Sword and readied himself for any kind of attack. "Where are you?"
"Up here." Creon said from the ceiling. He was hanging on the chandelier with a smile on his face.
"Why don't you come down?" Diamond said as he pointed the Elemental Sword at Creon and fired a shot from his blade gun.
"Too slow." Creon said from the other side of the room.
"Dodge this!" Diamond said as he snapped around and shot another blast from his Elemental Sword. "Damn!" he yelled as Creon bolted off again. Diamond looked around the room. "Got you!" He yelled as he turned around and fired again. Creon appeared but then disappeared again.
"You need to build some skill kid." Creon said as he reappeared in front of Diamond. "I mean come on, you were able to take out a troll that was five times my size and then you even beat yourself. But you can't even lay a finger on me."
"I was trained by a man who could catch you in his sleep." Diamond said.
"Well I don't see him anywhere." Creon said.
"He wouldn't waste his time with you anyways." Diamond said.
"So why are you here then?" Creon asked. "If you see me as such a waste of time, then why are you here?"
"That's none of your business." Diamond answered.
"I beg to differ." Creon said. "Your after the stone aren't you? Yes that's it. Well don't think you'll be successful. Plenty of warriors, some far stronger than you, have come here looking for the same thing and all have failed."
"Well I'm not all of those people." Diamond said. "I have far more important things to do with that jewel than they had."
"Is that so?" Creon said. "Well come at me with all you have, and I'll do the same."
"Fine." Diamond said as he took off his shirt and trench coat.
"Now, let us begin!" Creon said as the two darted at each other with their weapons at the ready.
The Deku Tree's Sanctuary
"It's been a long time Rauru." The Deku Tree said.
"Yes it has." Rauru replied as he walked into the Sanctum to see Diamond's father sitting on one of the Deku Tree's roots. "Master Keya. I haven't seen you since the king's tournament."
"Nice to see you again." Ramsey said as he got up and shook Rauru's hand.
"So how is our warrior doing?" Rauru asked.
"The trees tell me that he entered the Moon Palace dawn." The Deku tree said.
"What is his status inside of the palace?" Ramsey asked.
"He has obtained the legendary Elemental Sword and is currently fighting against Ganon's Guardian." The Deku Tree answered.
"I sure hope he is able to overcome Creon." Rauru said. "I know Creon maybe the first in the series but he is the second highest rank in his wing."
"I'm confident that my son can defeat that pitiful Cut Throat." Ramsey said. "And since we're on the subject, how many of these wings does Ganon have?"
"Ganon has four wings in his ever-growing army." The Deku Tree answered. "But I only know so little about that. Each wing has a leader. These leaders are dreadfully powerful, and have soldiers that are very powerful as well."
"So this is just the first in a series of horrifyingly strong opponents?" Rauru asked.
"Looks like it." Ramsey answered. "Is there anyway we can see whats going on?"
"There is one way. You must enter me first." The Deku Tree said as he opened his mouth.
Rauru and Ramsey entered the Deku Tree and saw a huge crystal ball in the center of the room. They walked over to the dark blue jewel and looked into it.
"Now this will take a minute. I need to find Diamond." The Deku Tree said as he began to concentrate. A minute passed before an image began to take shape on the crystal ball. "There."
Rauru and Ramsey looked into the ball to see Diamond running toward Creon in an angered fashion.
"There he is." Ramsey said as he stared at his son.
The two clashed in a mighty rage. Diamond's two swords met Creon's silver staff with a loud bang. The two held their ground, trying to push each other back. Creon smiled and thundered off, causing Diamond to fall forward. Before Diamond hit the ground Creon reappeared delivering a knee to the face.
"Heh. Is that all you have kid?" Creon chuckled as Diamond struggled to get to his feet. "Mean if this is all that you have than you should just let me kill you now."
"No way. I'm not down after just one shot." Diamond said as he got to his feet. "Not as long as I'm breathing."
"I can stop that." Creon said as he darted at Diamond. He swung his silver rod at Diamond neck but was cut off. Diamond's Elemental Sword blocked the way to his neck.
"Now it's my turn." Diamond said as he kneed Creon in the gut sending him to one knee. Diamond put his two swords back in their sheaths and jamp into the air. He came down with his hand still on the handles.
"Lightning Slash." Ramsey said as he looked on.
"Take this!" Diamond yelled as he came down and shot his two swords from their sheaths and launched a destructive slash. Creon was untouched since he had bolted off before Diamond's attack hit, but the floor wasn't so lucky. When Diamond got up, he was standing in a giant hole. It was almost four feet deep and ten feet long.
"Now look what you've done. Pesky kid!" Creon yelled as he darted at Diamond again.
Diamond's elemental sword began to glow again. Before Creon entered the small crater Diamond raised his sword and shot another Blade Gun. Creon moved to the side and the blast hit the wall. Creon slammed shoulder first into Diamond with amazing force. Diamond flew back toward the pool of water that surrounded the huge stone circle. Before Diamond could fall in the water Creon bolted off again and reappeared over Diamond. Creon nailed his foot into Diamond's back and he fell hard into the water.
"Humph." Creon muttered as he walked along his large stone floor. "Damn kid. Now I have to fix this huge hole."
"Dammit Diamond get out of there!" Ramsey yelled as he stared viciously into the crystal ball.
"Well that's one less nit wit I have to deal with." Creon said. "In just a few more weeks I'll finally be released from this dark palace. Once Ganon's army gets going I'll be free from this prison."
Creon then looked over to where Diamond landed. "What the hell is that?" He asked himself as he walked closer and closer to the green orb that he saw in the water. The orb then exploded and a power surged Diamond emerged from the water.
"You're not going to beat me." Diamond said. "Not ever!" Diamond then thundered off himself and reappeared behind Creon. Diamond smacked Creon in the back of his head with the handle of the elemental sword. Creon dropped his silver staff and fell to his knees, holding his head.
"You bastard!" Creon yelled. "I'll kill you!" Creon threw his arm back, expecting to hit Diamond with it, but he was gone. Creon crawled over to his staff and grabbed it. He tried to pick it up but Diamond's foot held it down.
"No. I'll kill you." Diamond said as he pointed the elemental sword at Creon and shot him in the chest with the blade gun.
Creon got up, holding his pierced chest. Blood flowed out of him like a river. He looked up at Diamond and dropped the Silver Moon. "You may have beaten me this time kid. But you'd better watch yourself. Our paths will cross again, and when that happens, I will have vengeance." He said as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a Deku Nut. He threw it on the ground and it left a flash. When the flash settled, Creon was gone and the stone lay on the floor.
"Game, set, match." Diamond said as his power surge faded and he sat down. He got back up a few seconds later and picked up the Silver Moon. "One down, six to go." A blue light then began to flash in the center of the room. He walked over with curiosity toward the circle and entered it. He was then lifted up and teleported.
Elsewhere: Ten minutes later
Creon stumbled down a pathway in a dark forest. Walking toward a building. He entered it to see a man sitting at a table. The man tossed him a blue potion.
"You've been beaten, haven't you Creon." The figure said.
"Yes, I have." Creon muttered before guzzling the blue potion.
"Ganon is not going to be pleased." The figure said.
"Well can I make it up to him?" Creon asked.
"Yes you can, you must find and then kill the one who defeated you." The figure asked.
"That isn't going to be a problem. I can do that." Creon said.
"Then go do it." The figure said.
"Yes, Lord Xorac." Creon said as he exited the building.
"You know, I hate it when people touch my things. Be a good boy and don't." Creon said.
"I'm sorry I didn't see your name on it." Diamond replied.
