So… here I am. This is the one of the last entries. (or package of entries anyway… I'm not sure how long it will be and I might have to cut it into parts.)
I really hope you enjoy my version of events of the final battle. It may be a bit dramatic compared to the video game… but this isn't the game… this is a story. And I think this chapter will be excellent.
Character- Ganondorf
Setting- Ganondorf is playing his organ, waiting for the so called 'Hero' to show up… but what lengths will he go to when the battle turns sour?
Power
My fingers strike the heavy keys.
The slow tune it emits calms me.
It's repetitive.
But I composed it myself.
And it has a certain effect on my temper.
The thick windy noise of my instrument fills the air.
It rebounds off the high ceilings and stained-glass walls.
I love this song.
I release my hold on the final notes.
I turn on my leather chair.
I look to the small figure huddled by one of the many windows.
She shudders.
A fork of lightening shoots through the sky.
It causes multicoloured light to spread across her face.
"Do you like that song, Princess?" I ask in a low voice.
She doesn't look up.
All that can be heard is the thunder and splattering of thick rain.
"Surely I am not that bad. I wrote this song myself."
Still no response.
She is in no position to defy me.
I could have killed her ages ago…
And yet she remains still.
I begin to grow angry with her.
How can she not show me the proper respect?
"Come on, girl," I say harshly, "Talk. What can have you so occupied as to not respond to my questions!?!"
"I am waiting." She spits.
Her figure does not move.
She remains stiff…
Staring out of my window.
Stupid girl.
She does not see that the boy will not come.
He will die trying to reach us up here.
"Waiting?" I mock, "Waiting for your 'Hero'?"
I laugh.
I walk over to her.
She doesn't get up from her place on the floor.
"Come. Stand and bow to your King, girl." I demand.
She spits at my feet.
It seems that being as a man for so long she has lost her sense of position.
I glare down at her.
I grab her arm roughly.
I rip her up to her feet.
She's quite short compared to me.
I loom over her.
"Now bow." I command.
She remains upright.
Her face is upturned.
Her eyes shoot up at me.
Her expression is fierce.
"I said bow." I growl.
Her lips become thin and white.
She doesn't move.
I bring back my hand.
I strike her face.
She staggers backwards.
She clutches her cheek.
Tears run down her face.
"Surely bowing would have been much less painful." I say jokingly.
Her eyes remain cold.
"He will not come for you, girl." I bark.
I turn to go back to my seat…
To play my song again.
But she speaks;
"No. You're wrong!" She shouts.
I stop in my tracks.
"Wrong?" I ask, the fury building up inside of me.
"He will come." She says, "He will come! He will save Hyrule, he will rescue me and he will destroy you!"
She hisses these last two words.
I take a step closer.
I am barely an inch from her body.
My shoulders and head loom over hers.
I glower down at her.
I watch as her determined face breaks into that of a terrified child.
I pick her up by the throat.
I squeeze my fingers tightly.
She coughs and splutters.
I pull her off the ground.
I hold her in the air few several seconds.
I let her eyes get a good look into mine.
Fear fills her.
I fling her across the room.
She hits the wall… hard.
She curls up.
She nurses her neck,
And continues to cough.
I strut over to her limp figure.
She remains still on the ground.
I smile at her.
"Tell me Princess," I ask, "tell me with your great wisdom. Tell me what you can see… Does he ride to you on his stolen horse? Does he draw his borrowed blade at my gate? Does he fight with ersatz skills in my Fortress at this very moment? Tell me Princess… What do you see?"
I raise my eyebrows at her.
I know that she'll use her power…
She'll look for the boy now.
But I have powers too.
I can block her mind.
She will not see him…
Then what will she do?
I watch as she closes her eyes.
I see them moving under her eyelids.
I focus my power on creating the mind wall.
She's strong…
But I easily mislead her thoughts into believing that she cannot find him.
I watch as her brow furrows.
Her eyes dart around.
I watch as she becomes more desperate.
She snaps open her eyes.
"I… I see nothing." She whispers.
I smirk.
"Very well, then." I say in mock concern, "I am sorry."
I strike her across the head again.
She smashes into the wall.
She collapses, limp, to the floor.
I return to my seat.I begin to play again.
It's fun…
Toying with emotions like that.
I should really do it more often…
After she made me waste seven years looking for her, she deserves it.
She'll find out as soon as he comes through that door…
Because he will.
I can sense him coming closer…
Every step he takes I can feel.
… And the Triforce piece he has.
I can feel it.
I need it.
In a few short minutes he will be here.
Stupid boy.
It's a shame really…
He has so much potential.
Pity I will rip him apart.
He will pay for his defiance to the King.
The keys strum the low song.
Any second now…
Any second now…
At last,
I hear footsteps outside my door.
It's him.
I smile to myself.
I look over at the Princess.
She's still out cold.
Her eyes are shut…
But her chest rises steadily.
I hear my door click and swing open.
I continue to play my song.
I hear the boy enter.
I continue to play.
"Where is she!?!" he screams.
I lift my hands from the keys.
I turn to look at him…
The boy I will tear to pieces.
He's soaking wet…
And filthy.
His sopping hair falls into his eyes.
I can't help but laugh.
This boy is no hero.
All this time I was sensing a potent force…
And this boy is it?
This is my first time ever laying eyes on him…
At this age anyway…
But I must admit,
It is a grave disappointment.
I was expecting something a bit more fun to play with.
"I asked you, where is she, you bastard!" He screams.
Oh.
Oh dear, such strong words.
I wave my hand sheepishly in the direction of her unconscious body.
"Over there, somewhere." I drawl.
A flash of lightening illuminates her form.
For a split second,
The boy sends me one of the most deadly glares I have ever seen.
He then breaks off.
He runs over to the Princess.
I smirk as he kneels next to her.
Her head lolls backs as he props her up.
His fairy flutters around uselessly.
True…
I could kill them both now.
Easily…
But where is the sport?
I want to win fair and square.
This boy and I will fight… properly.
I remain laid-back on my seat,
Still sneering.
I hear an argument;
"Link, you can't give her that! That was meant for our battle here! We paid lots for that potion. She'll get better soon. She doesn't need it, Link!" Squeaks the bratty fairy.
"No, Navi. I'm giving it to her. She does need it. When I beat this guy I won't be able to carry her all the way out." He says.
I watch as he pulls the cork out of a bottle.
He pours a thick red liquid into the girl's mouth.
…It's a healing potion.
The girl wakes up.
She appears fine.
A few whispered words are exchanged between the two youths.
They both get to their feet.
I think they have had enough time by now.
It's time to die.
"Are you quite finished?" I demand.
I get up from my seat.
The boy stands in front of the Princess…
All cliché-like.
I nearly groan.
I've had over a dozen chances to kill them both now…
But I've held it in.
And if he wants to take on my wrath all alone…
So be it.
"All this time… I've spent it looking for the two missing pieces… the Triforce pieces that I was unable to retrieve… I never expected them to be hidden in you two!" I say.
I leer at them.
"But now… we are all together. The Triforce is resonating. I will finally hold all three pieces. All that's left in my way… are your lives."
I hold up my right hand.
Blazed upon it…
The topmost triangle…
The Triforce of Power.
I watch as their hands glow too…
Their respective pieces are showing.
"You're going to wish you were never even born, boy." I bark, "These toys are too much for you!"
I unleash my power.
I send a gust of it at the boy.
His fairy gets a full bast and hits the wall.
It falls to the ground.
The boy looks around for it.
Aww… he feels alone.
"What is the matter, boy? Afraid to fight without your fairy?"
I laugh.
"You wish." He says.
I let myself fly off the ground.
Zelda runs off into the far corner of the room.
I pound the floor.
It begins to crumble.
The boy scrambles away from it just in time to reach a small ledge.
He draws his sword.
Now all I need to do is plant one good hit.
That'll cause him to loose balance…
And fall down to the next level.
Fifty feet below.
I summon up an energy ball.
I fire it at him.
This is pathetic really.
I can't believe he was this easy.
But…
The kid hits it back at me!
It catches me off guard and hits me in the chest.
I fly backward a few feet.
That's it.
I glare at the boy.
He's smirking at me.
I snarl.
I prepare another energy attack.
I fire it at him.
He hits it back again.
But this time…
I'm ready.
I rear up an attack and hit it back to him.
I see his eyes grow wide…
As if he's surprised that I was smart enough to figure it out…
I'll show him.
He deflects it again.
I dodge and let it pass me.
This kid must die now.
He's much too cocky for me to let him get any further.
It's annoying.
I gather up my strength.
I concentrate it.
I hold my hands up high.
A giant black energy ball forms above my head.
I laugh.
Let's see him dodge this one.
I fire the massive ball down at him.
He seems to realize that it's too big for him to deflect.
He starts to run swiftly along the ledge.
But he won't dodge this one.
My energy ball breaks up.
All the smaller black orbs seek him out.
The streams of black turn and follow him.
He begins to sprint.
Most of my energy hits the wall he's running along, missing him.
But he's running out of ledge.
He has no where to go.
The final black stream hits him in the thigh.
He cries out.
He stumbles.
He struggles to stay on the ledge… but he can't stop himself.
His arms are turning like a windmill to stop himself.
I hear Zelda scream in the background somewhere.
I can't help but smile as he tries to slow himself down before the end of the ledge…
But he was running to fast.
And now…
He will fall.
But…
At the very end of the ledge,
He manages to push off on his good leg.
He soars over the gap.
He grapples onto another ledge.
He scrambles up.
THAT'S IT!!!
I've had it.
Let's see him do that again.
He was just lucky!
I'll kill him!
I'll kill him!!!
I notice that his leg is still injured.
It didn't do as much damage as I'd have liked.
But he has a large burn there now.
My next blow will kill him.
I will not miss again.
I focus my energy again.
I raise my arms up.
The black ball begins to form again.
But…
The kid smiles.
He pulls out his bow.
He draws an arrow.
Oh Din!
I try to call off my attack.
But it's too late.
I left my chest exposed for too long.
I see a flash of light as he releases the arrow.
I rips through my chest.
I feel its hot metal plunge into my heart.
The pain is unbearable.
I collapse to the ground.
I look up to see the kid standing over me.
He gives me twisted smile.
Then I see him raise his sword.
He drives it into me.
I feel the cold steel split through my flesh.
I feel myself lose conciseness.
I can see nothing but black.
Am I dead?
That boy will pay for this.
No…
I am not gone yet.
I have the Triforce of Power!
I cannot die!
Not yet anyway.
But he…
He can.
And he will.
If I could not defeat him…
My Fortress shall.
Through the black surrounding me…
I can feel my Fortress.
I focus every particle I have…
I focus it all on tearing down my castle.
It shall fall.
And they shall be buried.
And then he will die along with the girl.
I can feel the Fortess.
I feel it crumbling.
I sense it collapsing.
I push it down with all my Power.
Everything I've worked hard to build become rubble.
After several minutes of focusing my power…
I can sense only debris, ruins and wreckage.
I have done it.
They must be dead.
I force myself to regain consciousness.
The black fades away.
I can see blocks of stone around me.
Small streams of light enter through holes.
I smile at my victory.
But…
I am soon filled with hatred and horror.
Outside of the pile of stones in which I am buried…
I can hear voices.
I can hear the girl saying something.
I can hear the blasted fairy
I can hear Link!
He got out?
They ALL got out!?!
I will teach them to try to defy me!
I push against the stones blocking me.
They move and crumble.
This creates a hole large enough for me to see through.
I can see Link walking towards me.
…I'll get him now.
With all my might,
I shoot out from the pile of debris.
I hold out my hand.
The Triforce shines brighter than ever.
"You think you can get rid of me that easy?!?" I scream, "I have the Triforce of Power! As long as my blood pumps… it is mine!!"
I leer at him…
That stupid little BOY.
I'll tear his head off!
I feel my muscles begin to spasm.
I'm shaking all over.
The true power of my Triforce is being tapped.
I can feel pure Power coursing through my veins.
I'm becoming the most powerful creature in the world.
My entire body swells.
I'm suddenly aware of two swords in my hands.
I'm ten feet tall at least.
I see my skin change…
My body change.
I am the ultimate.
I make a cry that sounds more like a roar.
I like that sound.
I conjure up flames around us.
He's not running away this time.
Little son of a bitch.
He's standing right in front of me.
He's not moving.
He's in shock.
Ha!
Oh well. His lost.
I bring back my hand.
I slam it down.
He tries to run at the last second,
But I'm excessively fast.
I hit him.
Hard.
I watch as his sword flies out his hand.
It lands outside the circle of fire.
Right beside Zelda.
…
I'll kill her next.
I turn back to Link.
He's clutching his arm.
Aww.
The poor kid's broken it.
I bring down my left sword.
He puts his shield up and dodges it.
He reaches behind him and pulls out…
The smallest sword I've ever seen.
He must have used it as a child.
He manages to stab it into my foot.
It feels something like a splinter.
I attack with my left sword again.
He holds his shield up and counters.
So, I smack him hard in the side with my right.
He soars twenty feet before landing again.
I walk towards him.
Every step I take causes the earth to shake around me.
A loud thump sounds with my every stride.
Link lays, almost motionless, on the stony ground.
I watch as he tries to get up.
He's crouching on all fours…
Like a dog..
He coughs out blood.
It dribbles down his face.
I laugh at him.
My laugh is deeper now…
Better.
The kid tries to roll away.
But I bring my foot down on top of his chest.
My foot is about the size of his torso.
I lean more weight on him.
I can hear Zelda screaming and crying behind me.
Stupid bitch.
"So this is the best Hyrule can do?" I taunt in my heavy voice, "Congratulations, boy. You get the honour of being killed by your King."
"You're no king of mine." He says defiantly.
"You know," I say, pretending I hadn't heard him, "I was going to kill her in front of you."
I pause to let Zelda's screams be heard.
"But I like this way so much better. Now, I get to hear her scream twice as long. One for you, when you're dying. And again when I split open her stomach and watch her bleed to death. A woman's screams are much more satisfying."
"You're sick!" He tells me.
I respond to this by leaning forward a bit more.
He grits his teeth.
A cry of agony escapes his mouth.
I love that sound.
"Listen to her scream, boy." I say, giving my foot a jerk downwards, "Listen. That and my voice are the last things you'll ever hear."
I laugh, booming.
At this, I lean all my weight on him.
I bend over so our faces are nearly touching.
"Just between you and me, boy," I whisper, grinning at his twisted face, "If you accept me as your true King, I might just go easy on you little girlfriend. Might."
I watch as he gasps for air.
His eyes are fixed on mine.
I wait for a response.
He opens his mouth…
And spits blood into my face.
I wipe it off slowly with my hand.
I keep smirking.
I watch closely as his eyes begin to roll back.
His eyelids close halfway.
His chest stops rising.
His head tips backward.
He's dead.
"NO!" I hear Zelda screaming, half-sobbing.
I look over to her.
My smirk widens.
I watch as she scrambles around.
She tries to pulls the Master Sword out from the ground it stuck into.
She pulls.
I get closer.
She pulls.
I get closer.
She pulls.
I get closer.
I drop the wall of fire.
I walk right up next to her.
She has tears running down her face.
Her eyes are fixed on me as she fruitlessly tugs at the sword
She's terrified and breathing hard.
She pulls on the sword.
She lets out a huge groan.
She manages to get it out of the ground
She holds the heavy thing in two hands.
She waves it threateningly, trembling.
"Get away! Don't touch me!" She screams.
Tears pour down her face.
"Ah, Princess… You must know exactly what's coming now. I can't imagine how-"
I break myself off as the look on her face lifts suddenly.
She's no longer looking at me…
But behind me.
And she has a smile pasted on her face.
"LINK! CATCH!" She hollers.
She throws the sword so high over my head it's as if it's guided by magic.
Link?
What's she on about?
Is she senile?
I just killed him.
I laugh.
"Stupid girl." I say, "I just killed him!"
"Don't be so sure." She laughs.
Despite myself, I turn around.
Horror.
How the hell did he-?
What the-?
He's supposed to be DEAD!
I see Link,
Standing in pristine condition.
He's smiling at me.
He raises his broken arm effortlessly.
The Master Sword appears to magically fly into it.
He catches it.
His arm's not broken anymore.
But how the hell did he do that?
He was dead.
My thoughts are cut off.
The kid rears his sword.
Yelling, he sprints towards me.
I prepare my sword for a horizontal blow…
But…
Link rolls between my legs and out behind me.
It's too quick for me to do anything about it.
I try to turn around but…
Pain slashes through my newly grown tail.
That kid's just hit it!
But I have to admit…
It was a pretty quick move.
I turn around to strike him…
I stop however when I see a tail stub bleeding on the ground.
… That bastard!
He cut the thing off in one blow!
I roar.
I turn my face to Link.
I raise both my blades up-
But he's already got an arrow strung up.
He lets it fly.
A giant blast of light blinds me.
I feel the arrow strike my face.
It is pain beyond pain.
I collapse to the ground.
Feeling as though a jolt of lightening has hit me.
My vision slowly returns.
I blink through the dots.
I see Link walking towards me again.
His sword is ready.
But he won't get me that easily.
I tighten my grip on my swords.
I push myself of the ground with amazing force…
But then…
I just… freeze.
I can't move at all.
I'm… I'm paralyzed.
I can't hear anything but a loud, empty buzz.
My eyes dart around to see why I can move at all.
The answer is quite obvious.
Zelda is standing with her arms outstretched.
She's holding me back with some form of her magic.
And now…
Now I'm helpless.
I look up to Link.
I've never really noticed before now…
How cold his eyes are.
They stare down at me now.
I know that I've underestimated him.
He pulls back his sword.
He's not smiling or laughing.
Just stone-faced.
Then he thrusts his blade into my forehead.
I'm only dimly aware of what happens around me.
I know I'm being ripped from my new body.
I can feel that I'm just myself again.
I know that I'm travelling away from Hyrule…
But not physically.
I'm just…
No longer… there.
Then, it all snaps back to me.
I look around me.
I'm in…
No this cannot be right.
I'm in the Sacred Realm?
I see a closing portal in front of me.
It's closing me in this place.
I can see Hyrule on the other side.
I can see Link.
They did this.
They're sealing me away in here forever.
Link, Zelda and all those Sages!
"Curse you all!" I scream at them, "Curse you Zelda. Curse you Sages. Curse you Link!"
I glare through the tiny portal.
"Someday, when this seal is broken… that is the day I will eliminate your descendants!"
I watch as the portal fades away,
I can't see him anymore.
And I'm left in ultimate nothingness.
But…
I can still feel it.
I can still feel the Triforce burning in me.
I know it will be with me until the very end.
It is now that I realize…
Those who seek power, never have any intention of relinquishing it.
Power is not a means…
It is an end.
It shall be my end.
Well, that only took one extremely long chapter. I was expecting two… but one still worked. I want you to know that Link and Zelda's will be about twice this long. Maybe Link's will be three actually.
Oh well. I'll have the rest up soon. Sniff. Only three PoV's left.
Bye for now. Review and tell me what you thought, because this took me a long time. Lol.
