Rezu: Zeltra, would ya mind? I'm tryin' ta explain somethin'...

Zeltra: Humph! .::walks out::.

Rezu: Thank you! .::looks to the Readers::. OK, People! As we all know, Zelda is the Holder of the Triforce of Wisdom, and Tetra is her 'Normal' Pirate Captain side... Gornon and Ganon changed them into the evil Zeltra. You'll see what happens...

Chapter Nine

Bring Tetra Back!

It'll be Ganon's Down Fall

Link smirked, sword held out his shoulder. Usually when he used a Hurricane Spin such as the one he just used, he'd be totally wiped out. But this was different... He was bursting with energy just because he wanted to save his girl.

As a drop of sweat made its way down the side of Ganon's nervous face, he began to laugh evilly.

Link didn't get the joke, and he felt as if he were being laughed at. With narrowed eyes and his smirking lips changing into a scowl, he sneered.

"What the hell is so funny, Old Man?"

Ganon stopped, listening to that last remark.

"Whom are you calling an Old Man?!" he turned, folding his arms and closing his eyes with a nod. "I'll have you know that I'm about... 159..."

Link smirked again, chuckling. "Heh, heh... Scratch that... Make that Dusty Old Man..."

He pulled his Steel Sword off of his shoulder and pointed it at Ganon.

"Gornon was fortunate... I went easy on him... But look at what happened when I did that..." he suppressed a laugh when he saw the surprised look on Ganon's face. Lowering his sword so that the tip touched the ground, he raised his other hand and shook his finger at the Enemy that had followed him through Time. "... But you're gonna get the best of me... I'll kill you faster than I had killed your pitiful son..."

Zeltra stepped forward, the white towel covering her changing into a black dress with the Triforce on it and the Sheikah symbol, too. Her black-gloved hands folded over her chest, and the two golden marks on them shined with a dark tint.

"I'll be your next opponent, Hero of Winds..."

Link's eyes widened at the words coming from the girl's mouth. His heart was hurting, and he was shaking.

"Wha... What?"

"I'll be your opponent..." Zeltra repeated harshly, holding out her hand to her side.

A long spear appeared in a flash of dark energy, the blade at the top of it crackling with the lightning Gornon left to her.

Getting into a fighting stance, she held to spear ready as she ran at Link, stabbing at him.

Link jumped to his right, shocked that she attacked. He quickly recovered, taking his Steel Shield from his back and holding it in his unoccupied arm.

Zeltra smirked, laughing as she attempted a stab to his stomach. It was easily blocked with his Steel Sword. The lightning electricity in her spear crackled as it went through the Sword and electrocuted him.

Link yelled in pain, being thrown back into a tree. He scrambled to his feet, getting up quickly, but still feeling the pain of the electricity.

Zeltra laughed. "Didn't anybody ever teach you not to play with metal or steel when there's a Lightning Storm?"

Link's eyes widened again. Storm? It then hit him like a bullet to a deer.

"That attack..." he mumbled, letting his eyes trace every inch of the spear Zeltra held, "That spear..." Eyes now narrowed in a glare, he growled angrily as it all came together. "You took Rown's Storm Sword and changed it into that Storm Spear!"

"Hah! Took ya long enough! I swear it, if I wouldn't have given you that clue, you would have never known that I'm using your best friend's weapon against you!" Zeltra spat with an evil grin.

Link glared daggers at her, anger rising to its highest point, maybe even beyond its limit. He couldn't believe what Ganon and Gornon had done to his Tetra! He couldn't believe what they changed her into! And to make things worse, he actually felt like killing her! He knew his girlfriend was in there somewhere, but right now, he didn't care.

Zeltra could sense his anger, and she began to get nervous. She knew what would happen if Link got even the least bit mad at someone, but this! She could sense his desire for seeing blood in his eyes, so she took a shaky step back.

Link raised his sword, its blade glowing blood red. With eyes as blank as the honorable knight he once was, he took a swift step forward, and disappeared.

Zeltra and Ganon looked to their left and right for any sign of the Hero of Winds, but to no avail. The evil black-haired girl smirked evilly, letting out a short laughter before feeling the flat side of the cold, silver blade being pushed to her neck.

Link appeared behind her, his free hand around her waist as his other held the sword to her throat. A grin curled on his once blank face, pupils returning to normal.

"You ready?" he asked lowly.

Zeltra gulped, the lump causing her throat to get closer to the blade and make a small cut appear. As the droplet of blood slipped down the side of the slanted sword, Link softly licked it off. He quickly turned Zeltra around, lightly pushing his lips against hers.

The girl's blood-colored eyes widened at this sudden movement, feeling the boy's tongue slip into her mouth. She couldn't move, but for some reason, she didn't want to. A tingling feeling over came her body, this feeling going down her spine as she shivered slightly.

Her black hair changed back into its blonde color, and those red eyes went back to their normal soft blue. Those tired hues of hers closed as she leaned into the kiss. This was her own way of letting him know she was OK now.

Blushing, Link backed away, releasing the girl from her pleasurable prison. He watched as the Storm Spear's dark color changed into a bright yellow and white, and a smile crept upon his face.

"Tetra... It's really you..." he whispered softly, staring into those ocean blue eyes.

A short nod was his answer as the girl's sparkling smile dazzled him in a daze of happiness. Link forced himself forward, hugging the girl he had sought to save all this time. A half of his goal has been reached; all that was left was to be rid of the final piece.

He let her go, his face going serious as he turned to glare at his nemesis, Ganondorf. Once again, his calmed self turned into anger as he took his sword and advanced on the tall man of the Gerudo.

Ganon gulped, backing away. The way he looked now, you'd think he really was a scared and defenseless old man! A grin of anger curled on Link's face as he jumped up to attack. Slashing at Ganon obliquely from the right side strongly, he shouted.

"That's for trying to take my land again!!"

He slashed him again, but from the left. "And that's for killing Rown!!"

With the sword glowing bright white in the strongest type of anger, he took a slight glance at it. Swirling around his sword was a gust of grey wind, but it mattered not. He jumped up again and sliced Ganon clear through the heart.

"And that was for taking and changing Tetra!!"

Ganondorf then stuttered with a slight grin of defeat, eyes slowly closing as he whispered these last and final words. "You... win..."

Tetra raised her Storm Spear, lightning flashing out of it and reached the blade of the sword. It activated the swirling winds, and it appeared as if a Lightning Hurricane Spin was being pulled off.

Ganon's death was a quiet one as his body disintegrated in the strong blast of the attack, and peace was finally restored to the land of Trirule.

Link fell to the ground on his knees, holding his sword in the same position he had when he killed Ganon. Blinking, he heard a cheer from behind him. Just as he turned to see what it was, he felt someone throw themselves onto his back. He fell forward, careful to quickly throw his sword out of the way before doing so.

Tetra laughed excitedly, hugging him from behind.

"They're finally gone!"

Link smiled, seeing the black color of her dress suddenly change to pink, the color Princess Zelda always wore. A chuckle left his lips as he pushed the girl off of him, turning over on his back and staring at the now clearing up sky.

"Yeah..." he whispered blissfully. 'Rown... I've finally avenged you, my friend... Your sword stands honorable in its new form, and Ganon and Gornon are gone. Surely there is nothing more I have left to do now...'

Then the last thing Rown said popped into his mind. 'Rezu...-chan... Tell her that... I... loved her...' A grin spread on his face; he never did see an ice-colored enemy out there. Perhaps Rezu was still alive! He'd go and find out for himself once he got his strength back.

Tetra lay beside him, hugging his arm. "Thank you so much, Link... For saving me from staying as Zeltra..."

"Anytime, Tetra... Anytime..."
