Chapter 2: The Great Escape
Link
chased Ganon down the path, firing Light Arrows at him. Ganon stopped
when he reached the remains of Hyrule Castle Market Town, and
summoned some Redeads. While Link was attempting to kill them, Ganon
continued to the drawbridge.
"Gotta... Get... Outta... Here"
grunted Link, swinging his Master Sword at the Redead hordes, sending
blood spraying and heads rolling. When the last one fell, Link dusted
himself down, and ran to the drawbridge. He stopped halfway, and shot
a Fire Arrow at a rope above the drawbridge. The rope burned up,
dropping the portcullis. Ganon turned to look for Link, and the
drawbridge closed.
"Gotcha now, Ganon. Nowhere to go now"
said Link grimly. "Now, time to die."
Ganon lunged at
Link, who sidestepped his enemy. He grabbed the Megaton Hammer and
smashed Ganon in the head with it.
"Don't you get it, Ganon"
taunted Link. "You can't escape."
Just then, a portal
opened behind Link. Ganon spotted it and stood up, rushing towards
Link. He dashed past Link, and jumped through the portal.
"OK,
maybe you can escape" muttered Link. He ran towards the portal
at top speed, but before he reached it, a Stalfos stepped out from a
side alley and hit Link in the chest with its mace, knocking him to
the ground.
"Nooooooo" yelled Link, as the portal
closed before him. "OK, payback time" he said. He stood up
and killed the Stalfos with one powerful stab to the
head.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the portal, Ganon stood
in a vast plain. A tall cloaked figure approached him, and Ganon
turned and fell to his knees.
"I did not expect to see you
again" said the cloaked figure, raising one hand. Ganon was
lifted off the ground, and a purple light shone from his body. He
turned back into Ganondorf, and fell to the ground.
"You
almost failed me, Ganondorf Dragmire" said the figure.
"I...
I was caught off guard. It will not happen again" stammered
Ganondorf.
"I should hope not. The Chosen One may have grown
powerful, but not that powerful."
"He will be dealt
with" said Ganondorf. "Hyrule will be ours"
Back
in Hyrule...
"I'm serious, Zelda. Ganon escaped. Jumped
through a portal" said Link.
"You mean you let him
escape" retorted Zelda hotly. "You should have finished
him off when you had the chance, then he wouldn't have escaped."
"Me?
I didn't see you make an attempt to help out. Too scared, I'll bet.
And besides, you thought I had killed him" yelled Link.
Link
started to walk away, then stopped.
"Like I said, he escaped
through a portal. You get any ideas about where he went, let me know.
I'm outta here."
"A portal" said Zelda quietly.
"But that means..."
