Chapter Five
Showdown!
Gornon & Ganon VS Link & Rown
Link unsheathed his sword, smashing a large rock with the Steel Sword and breaking it into many tiny pieces. He was taking the anger of not being able to see Tetra out on it, and it wasn't helping all that much.
"Link, you have to calm down! If Ganon and Gornon were to see you like this, they'd see your weakness and take the opportunity to attack while you're off-guard!" Rown explained, folding his robes and putting them into a small bag he brought along.
He now wore a yellow outfit that was exactly like Link's. Yellow tunic, brown boots, sword sheathed and tied to his back... Nothing was missing except for the hat. Rown's Storm Sword was very much like Link's old Light Sword, except that this sword controlled storms, just like his Storm Wand.
"I can't help it, Rown... For all I know, Tetra could be unprotected and alone... I don't care if the Fairy Queen's with her or not, I still worry about her!" Link yelled as he stabbed the long Steel Blade of the Sword into the ground.
"Thank Nayru... He stopped..." Mezu said in relief, walking over to the Hero of Winds and placing a hand on his shoulder. "Worry not too much about her, Link... Tetra is a strong girl, do you not remember?"
"Yes... I do remember... But it's because I've been with her for so long that I can't stand being away from her... I just can't take it..."
"Link... I know how you feel... Wanting someone you can't have..." Rown spoke, closing his eyes with a frown on his face. "Tetra isn't here right now, but the sooner we finish off Ganon and Gornon, the sooner you get to see her again. Always keep that in mind!"
Link looked up at his best friend with a grin and a nod.
"You're right... Let's go!"
"Father, how much longer? I need to see blood!" Gornon whined, sitting in the darkness of a small cave his power was able to create.
"I know, Son. Not to worry, night will fall soon. And that is when we will strike... That stupid little kid that killed us is here in the Mountains. Not too far off either... We can kill him in his sleep." Ganondorf reassured.
Gornon nodded, sighing as he waved his Lightning Wand and made black clouds shroud across the Dragons' Mountains. Lighting flashed and thunder crashed, it was music to his ears.
Link mumbled curses under his breath as he, Rown and Mezu took shelter in a cavern that must have been dug many years ago by the Dragons that once resided in these Mountains.
"Don't get mad just because a little storm caught us, Link... You know I can fix that up easily!" Rown reminded, whipping out his Storm Wand.
Walking out into the heavy rain, he waved his wand as sparks came from the tip of it. The lightning and thunder slowly stopped, but the black clouds remained. No matter how many times he tried to make them disappear, they just wouldn't do it.
He walked back over to Link and Mezu, arms folded in thought.
"That's weird... I can't make the darkness disappear... Either those are very unusual clouds, or..."
"... Gornon's doing it..." Link finished, glaring daggers out the exit. "I'm going out there..."
"I better go with you.... It's better to be two-on-two than one-on-two." Rown spoke, following Link out of the cave. "Wait here, Mezu. We'll be back in a while."
Mezu nodded, concealing herself within the confines of the cave.
"Why did you quell the thunder and lightning, Gornon?" Ganon asked, looking to his son with a confused look.
"I didn't! I don't know what happened!"
"Must be that boy you were trying to manipulate..."
Gornon's pointed ears twitched as he heard footsteps. A smirk curled on his face as he got to his feet, standing beside his father.
"It is... And here they come..."
An explosion came from the large rocks blocking the path way, destroying them. Link and Rown ran through, holding their swords in their hands.
The Steel Sword glowed with white anger and impatience, reflecting on how Link felt. He ran off to Ganondorf and jumped up high. Doing in turn in mid-air, he attempted a slash to cut off his enemy's head.
It was easily dodged, and Ganon caught Link by his legs. Spinning around several times, he threw Link into the huge boulders of the Mountains.
Rown and Gornon stood three yards from each other, staring in hatred. Gornon smirked, his Lightning Sword appearing in hand as he spoke.
"Well, I see you've decided to move against me, Rown..."
Rown unsheathed his Storm Sword, glaring.
"I never wanted to be on your side, Gornon... You kidnapped me and stole my identity... Now, it's pay back time!"
The Master of Storms ran forward, electricity flowing through his sword. As he struck Gornon, the Sword of Lightning blocked and absorbed the energy. Rown narrowed his eyes at the evil that stood before him.
"Die..." Gornon whispered, releasing all the electricity his sword took and sending it through Rown's body.
Rown screamed out as he was sent backward five whole yards and into a small river. Gornon ran off to the canal, not seeing any sign of Rown. He smirked again, turning around and slowly walking on.
The water rushed out of the river and slammed Gornon into a stone, an angry Rown standing on the stop of the water. His sword was glowing furiously as he flew out and slashed his opponent in the shoulder, red blood splashing out of the boy's body.
Rown jumped away, readying another blow. Gornon put a hand on his wound, snickering evilly. The wound slowly closed up, healing.
Rown's eyes widened in surprise, leaving him wide open for attack. Gornon took this chance and smashed Rown in the stomach with the hilt of his sword, then punched him up the jaw and away from him.
Rown fell back onto the ground, panting heavily as a thin stream of blood trickled down from the side of his mouth.
Gornon ran up to the weakened Master of Storms, punching him in the gut again before getting him square in the nose.
Rown yelled again, landing deep inside of a rock thanks to how hard Gornon hit him. His sword was left stuck in the ground, standing there in shame.
The honor that once was Rown, Master of Storms, has disappeared. Dishonor hung over the poor boy like a cloud of darkness on a thunder storm.
Link pulled himself out of the rock, growling angrily. He began at another run, Steel Sword glowing with power. He jumped into a Jump Attack, cutting Ganon's shoulder slightly. Immediately after that, he jumped up in a turn and slashed the tall Gerudo in the face, and then jumped away.
Magical energy half-filled the sword, then Link ran forward. Getting close enough, he let out a normal Spin Attack. With the impatience that filled his soul, he couldn't wait the 60 seconds to create a Hurricane Spin.
Ganon was pushed back by a foot, his wounds looking bad. A smile curled on his face, confusing Link.
When Ganon's wounds began to heal, Link flung himself at the huge man who he has been fighting since the beginning of time. Trying a Thrust attack and leaving a deep cut. Unfortunately for him, the cut closed itself up.
Ganon laughed in amusement. "You didn't really think you could beat me again, did you?"
He unsheathed his huge Long Sword and whacked Link with the flat side of it. The boy clothed in green was sent back into the stone walls, and he slid down to the ground. He grasped his sword tightly, glaring at Ganon.
Staggering to his feet, he panted slowly. Out of the corner of his eye, he watched as Gornon approached. A floating rock was following beside him, and inside this rock was the unconscious Rown.
Link's eyes widened when he turned his head fully to see the two.
"Ro-Rown!"
"We've gotten stronger over the years, Link... You can't defeat us." Gornon declared, joining his father in evil laughter.
Link just stared, but then saw Gornon call upon his Lightning Sword. The electricity from within rushed out, reaching him before he could move a muscle.
He shouted in pain, falling to his knees and onto the ground. His eyes with pure blue with blankness, as if his soul had disappeared. Listening to their laughing, a small tear came from his eye and softly fell down his cheek. He then whispered quietly to himself.
"I'm sorry... Tetra... I couldn't... protect you..."
"Now, father! Let us go to the Black Haven and claim our prize!" Gornon exclaimed, raising his sword over head.
The two turned and walked off, cheering and laughing in evil victory.
Tetra's eyes widened as she looked up from staring into the water of the Fairies Fountain. Her pointed ears twitched at an echoing sound, she recognized it to be Link. The words she heard him utter frightened her.
"I'm sorry... Tetra... I couldn't... protect you..."
Tears filled her eyes; she looked into the Fountain Waters with frightened and saddened blue eyes. Her long blonde hair loosely hung over her shoulders as she saw the reflection of Ganon and Gornon in the Future-telling Waters.
"No... No!! Link, you can't give up!! Please!! Don't Let Them Win!!" she shouted at the top of her lungs into her Pirates Charm, her tears flowing down her rosy cheeks.
The Queen of Fairies looked at Tetra with a disappointed look. Now that the Hero of Winds and the Master of Storms have failed, what will become of the Princess of Hyrule? The answer to this question was impossible to find out... Until the time comes.
