The Castle's fall was imminent, yet Horiku still pressed on. He met a few moblins on the way, posing little challenge as he quickly dispatched them with fire blasts. Moving forward, he saw that the drawbridge was guarded by 20 moblins, and many guards had fallen back to the king's chambers. Moving upon the 20 moblins from behind, he used fire magic to kill two moblins, before the moblins noticed him. Luring them off the bridge, he used forest magic to raise some plants to trap two of them, while he used water magic and used the water from the moat up to trap two more moblins in a watery ball, hoping to drown them. The moblins were moving fairly fast for a creature so dumb, and Horiku knew he could either run, or try to delay them. In the end, he decided to release the moblins from his plants, and used fire magic to create a barrier in front of them, and in back, so they couldn't escape, except by water if they knew how to swim. Horiku walked into the castle and hid for a second to regain the magic he had just used.
Back at Lon Lon Ranch, Phoenix went into the peaceful ranch alone and walked up to the woman standing there.
"Hello, what can I do for you? My name is Malon. Would you like to buy some of our famous Lon Lon Milk?" the sweet woman said.
"Run... run now before I slay you on the spot," Phoenix responded.
Startled, Malon fell over and started crawling away. She grabbed a horse and started riding away at a gallop. The guards in the ranch preparing for battle saw and scattered to obtain their weapons.
"You there! Who are you and what is your business?" the guard said.
"You're death." A Dinalfos jumped behind him and slashed the unprepared guards. The rest raised their shields for battle as Phoenix unsheathed his sword and cut another guard down. "Start the attack, now!"
Autumn ran towards Lon Lon Ranch killing several Zorans and wounding others along the way. Autumn mostly dodged their attacks and ran towards the ranch.
But Zoray had different ideas. Zoray stared as the Hylian army looked as if they had been obliterated. Zoray thought Hm… they are busy out here so if I go to the castle, they might not have guard inside. If I can get my hands on the power I can finally complete my plans.
Kolby heard the clash of spears and swords all around him. He was trapped in a circle of moblins. He yelled out, "Horiku, can we get some help over here!" yelled Kolby, hoping Horiku could cast a spell to lessen the size of the mob. But Horiku didn't answer. Kolby concentrated and kicked a moblin in the face knocking it unconscious and dodging the thrust of another.
With Lon Lon Ranch burned to the ground, Phoenix released the last of the horses into the wild. He then turned to Hyrule Castle.
"I guess I need to go help those stupid moblins," Phoenix said.
Phoenix commanded the small platoon of Dinalfos and started walking towards Hyrule Castle.
Autumn continued running and saw that Lon Lon Ranch was burning to the ground. She ran as fast as she could and saw a man in green armor in the distance. She fired and arrow at him and it hit him in the shoulder. He pulled it out of his armor and looked towards where it fired.
Back in Hyrule, Zoray was attempting to enter the castle. Hmm now how to sneak into the castle unnoticed… If I suddenly appear in the castle they might suspect something. Now if I was captures and taken to the dungeon… they wont think that I can get out… so I have to join those fools at the Zoran army…
"I hate those guys!" Zoray said. But, they do appreciate my looks Zoray thought laughing to herself. Zoray jumped behind the Hylian lines hoping that the Hylians would see her.
Kolby escaped the Moblins and ran towards the castle trying to save the King. He went right through after Horiku had cleared a path. He went inside the castle and saw Horiku in the corner. He asked him, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, let's go," Horiku said getting up.
Back in Hyrule Field, Autumn saw the man say something to the Dinalfos. The Dinalfos approached Autumn and started to attack her. One Dinalfos jump attacked her and she dodged readying a bow and fired it directly into the Dinalfos' skull. Then she readied another arrow to fire at the next Dinalfos, but the Dinalfos started to use its fire breath. Autumn barely dodged the attack and counterattacked with another arrow.
"Halt! Stand aside!" the green armored man said.
Autumn readied a bow and aimed it at the man that was approaching her. The man unsheathed his sword, ready to battle as Autumn kept her arrow aimed. She was increasingly outnumbered.
"Let's make this interesting. We will fight now 1 on 1. No interference from the Dinalfos. But here's a twist, they will circle around us and breath fire in a random direction the entire battle. Do you accept? Or would you rather go with 4 on 1?" the man said.
She had never been one to like playing by another's rules, but the situation seemed fair. The other would be just as affected by the Dinalfos as her and four on one wasn't looking so promising.
"So what you actually meant when you said no interference from the Dinalfos, you actually meant a lot of interference from the Dinalfos?" She shrughed. "Sure, why not?"
The Dinalfos made a ring, with them in the middle. She waited.
"Well I meant no double teaming. It wouldn't be fun without some extra rules. Dinalfos, start at the count of 3. 1... 2... 3..." Phoenix said.
The battle started with the Dinalfos breathing fire. Phoenix, almost hit by the fire jumped up and slammed his sword at Autumn. Autumn quickly dodged that blow but the fire around her caught her and burned her. She readied an arrow and fired it. Phoenix blocked it with his sword and charged again, but had to abruptly stop due to a stream of fire. The jewel on the stranger's head glowed and the fire that made him stop turned around and attacked Autumn. She thought to herself What is going on? This isn't fair if he can control the fire! She dodged, and readied another arrow. She placed it in front of a Dinalfos' fire, burning the end of the arrow. She fired it at Phoenix who blocked the arrow, but the fire sprayed back at his eyes.
A burst of flame passed just over her right shoulder and she ducked and rolled out of the way as it swept overhead.
The temperature was rising fast. Though having lived in a desert and undergone Chaos Training, some of which used fire, she could handle heat but this was starting to get to her. Best to end it as quickly as possible.
There was a strong burning smell as she got to her feet: her clothes and hair were singed but she shrugged it off, readied an arrow, and fired.
It shot past Phoenix and hit a Dinalfos behind him, which died instantly.
"Whoops, missed," she grinned.
"Time to end this..." Phoenix said stopping. He stood with fire blasting around him and sword readied with his eyes closed.
"What are you doing?" Autumn asked dodging the fire. She fired an arrow but because of the fire she wasn't able to properly aim and hit Phoenix shoulder. Phoenix's shoulder twitched but because of his armor it was very small.
"YOUR END!" Phoenix yelled with his headband on fire and circling around his sword. "Your dead now INSOLENT FOOL!"
