Chapter 7: The End?

A large shockwave from their interlocked swords sent the two flying backward. Link did not hesitate. His mind was entirely engulfed by rage. He didn't care if he killed in front of Saria anymore. All he wanted to do was to kill Ganon for bringing Saria into the conflict. He swung his sword vertically towards Ganon's head, but Ganon raised his swords to create an X shape and blocked the blow. Link continued to throw blows, one after the other. Even though Ganon blocked them, he was being pushed back. Ganon began to smirk. When he's consumed by rage he's completely unaware. If he keeps fighting like this I'll have an easy victory.

"RRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" yelled link as he recklessly unleashed a spinning sword attack. Ganon jumped over him and kicked him into a wall.

"I like your rage! Come at me with all of your hatred!"

"GRRRRR! DIE!" Link jumped up and began throwing more random blows with tremendous speed. Ganon blocked each one and smirked again. He's only killing himself…I barely have to do anything. Ganon jumped up and slashed at Link's arm. Link was able to barley move out of the way and was left with only a little cut. Link didn't take any notice to it and he continued his hopeless and mindless attacks. Saria watched in horror. This was not the Link she knew. What happened to you Link? This isn't like you. Please pull yourself together……

"Attaboy……keep the rage flowing!" Ganon remarked with a hint of laughter in his voice. Then Saria's eyes shot open. That's it!

"Link! Please! Get a hold of yourself! Ganon's trying to make you angry so you can't focus on the fighting!" As the sound of Saria's sweet innocent voice caressed the walls of Link's ears, the rage slowly faded from his eyes and he looked at her. "If you fight with your mind lost in anger you won't be able to defeat him." Link pondered her words for a second. He took a deep breath, resheathed his sword then looked up at Ganon, but this time instead of rage filled eyes Link had a calm expression on his face.

"Thank you……Saria."

"HA! You think THAT will help you? Take this!" Ganon raced forward and swung at Link. Link swung his arm around and shattered the sword with the side of his hand. Ganon quickly jumped back and stared at his broken sword. He threw it down, gripped his other sword with two hands, and glared at Link. Link kept the calm expression on his face and stood his ground.

"Heh heh heh……whelp. I was only a little careless on that one, I can still defeat you easily. Watch what happens when I pour all my focus into a battle." Ganon ran forward and swung at Link again. The Blade sliced right through Link. "HAH! You're dead!" But Ganon was cut short when Link seemed to fade away. "WHAT!" He spun around in time to see the heel of Link's boot directly in front of his face. Link's kick made contact with Ganon's face, crushing his nose bone and sending him into a wall.

"You cannot focus on a battle like I can Ganon. Like your father…you inherit compatibility with the Triforce of power. However that is the only part your soul can take shape. Your hunger for power makes your anger, hatred, and rage your controlling factors. Face it Ganon there is no way you can defeat me."

"Insolent fool! I'll kill you!" Ganon ran forward. Link unsheathed his sword and readied for the attack. Ganon swung as fast and as hard as he could slash after slash after slash invisible to the naked eye. This did not stop Link though. He blocked every single blow as if Ganon was moving in slow motion. Ganon tried one more vertical slash with all the power he could summon, but Link caught the sword and crushed it with his golden gauntlets. Ganon's eyes shot wide open and he began to back up.

"N……N…No!" Link Charged forward and disappeared from Ganon's sight. Ganon looked behind him, above him, and below him, but Link was nowhere. It was as if he vanished. Suddenly Ganon heard a tapping noise. The noise of boots coming in contact with the cave floor. The symbol of evil was now stricken by intense fear.

"Where are you! Show yourself!" Suddenly the air being cut by sword strokes could be seen flying towards Ganon. The strokes of Links sword at super speed cut Ganon all over his body. By the time he stopped. Ganon was covered in blood and he fell to his knees. Link suddenly reappeared.

"If I move faster than your eyes can follow than you can never attack me." Link commented.

"I have……to get away……." Ganon summoned all his strength to pull himself up and he ran for the door. Link got ready to pursue, but stopped when a biggoron sword came flying through the door, went straight through Ganon, and got lodged in the wall at the other end of the room. Ganon fell to the floor, motionless. Sky walked in.

"Well looks like you got the job done. Seems the coward had no other option, but to run. I'm glad I got to finish him off!" Said Sky as he walked in with Roam over his shoulder. He went and retrieved his sword then turned to talk to Link, but he saw Link helping Saria out of the chains and decided to leave the two alone. He walked outside to wait.

"Link!" Yelled Saria as she threw her arms around him.

"Saria……" Responded Link as he too wrapped his arms around her. "I'm sorry you had to see me so lost in my emotions……it's humiliating. Thank you…your voice was able to reach me though my hatred and rage and give me the means of victory."

"Link……I saw you losing…I was so afraid that he would kill you." Tears began to form in her eyes. "I…I…" But she couldn't finish. She dug her face into Link's chest as the tears fell from her eyes.

"It's ok…it's ok……let it all out, I'm here." And there stayed like that for a couple minutes before coming out to meet Sky. Sky saw the two walk out, Saria clinging to Link's arm. Link looked around at the internal features of the cave, sighed, and said, "Lets go home."

One week later……

"How about this one?" the beautiful green haired girl asked Link as she stepped out of the dressing room. Saria had grown tired of wearing the same outfit day after day. Link came to help her pick out a new dress. She had removed the half ponytail look to her hair and had her hair down which came about halfway down her back. She was wearing a Green top that came down to her waist and a blue skirt that was a little shorter than the one she had originally.

"I really don't know what to say Saria…you look great in all of them."

"Tee hee……thank you! I think I'll get this one and this one!"

"Ok, let's pay for them and head home."

"Ok!" She disappeared back into the dressing room and put her old outfit back on. She kept her hair down though. Link paid 120 rupees for the dresses and they set off for home.

While riding Epona though the field, Link heard a commotion in the distance. He decided to ride towards the sound but suddenly had to dodge a bunch of bandits screaming and running for their lives. Link watched as the bandits disappeared from his sight and turned to look at what had spooked them. What he saw only made him laugh. Their stood Sky and Roam.

"Hey you two! Scaring the Bandits away I see."

"Ah Link! Yes I guess. All I did was cut this rock in half with my sword and they all ran off."

"I didn't even have to lift my bow." Commented Roam.

"Why don't you two come back to my place with us? I'm sure there is much to talk about." They all agreed and returned to Link's house. They sat at Link's table and talked about what had been going on lately in Hyrule. All seemed to be at peace and every one was cheerful.

Then, out of nowhere, like the moment a tornado touches down, Link sprung up from his seat and began to sweat in fear. He could feel it. It was evil. Saria immediately noticed the fear in Link's eyes.

"Link? What is it?"

"No…It can't be!" Link grabbed his sword, burst for the door and ran outside. His fear was confirmed. There stood Ganon. "I thought I killed you! Don't you ever die?" The other three ran out and all gasped when they saw him.

"I will never die. You cannot kill pure evil. It is inevitable that you and I shall fight as long as you live.

"I killed you once and I'll kill you again!"

"HAHAHAHA! Is that so boy? Then let me introduce you and your friends to my ally." Ganon reached into his cloak.

Oh no! I completely forgot about…the mask! He has the Fierce Deity mask!

Then all time stood still. The mask that Ganon pulled out was not the Fierce Deity mask…It was Majora's mask.

"WHAT!" Link yelled in fear and confusion as Ganon raised the mask to his face. Majora's mask! What's going on? If he didn't take the Fierce Deity mask…then who did? Link watched as a purple aura surrounded Ganon.

"Link whats going on?" Saria asked, by her voice Link could obviously tell she was terrified.

"All of you run away. NOW!"

"What are you kidding Link? We'll fight along side you!" Sky remarked

"No you don't understand! You've got to run now! Or you'll die!"

"What about you!" Questioned Roam.

"I'll hold him off! Just get as far away from here as you can!" Suddenly there was a flash of purple light. Link spun around to see a mix between Ganondorf and Majora's Wrath. Before Link could react he was hit in the face by a whip and was knocked to the ground. He got up quickly and ran towards Ganon Majora. He swung his sword at him, but Ganon lifted a finger and a blast of magic made Link fall back to the ground. Then Ganon wrapped one of his whips around Link and started to smash him on the ground continuously.

"YOU MONSTER!" yelled Sky as he and Roam dashed forward. Roam fired three arrows, Ganon stuck out his hand and made the arrows fly back at roam. One went through Roam's right shoulder, one through his left knee, and one through his right ankle. He cried out in agony as he fell to the ground clutching his shoulder. Sky swung at Ganon, only to have his sword bounce off. Before he could react, Ganon wrapped his other whip around Sky and flung him into a tree. He hit it with such force that the tree fell down after the impact. Sky sat on the ground twitching.

"I told…you guys …to run away!" Link managed to say. Saria couldn't stand it anymore.

"LIIIINK!" she yelled and ran forward.

"NO! SARIA STAY BACK!" It was too late. Ganon grabbed hold of Saria with his free whip and held her to the ground next to Link. He began to build up his energy in his hands to unleash upon to two.

"HAHAHA! IN THE END LINK! NOT ONLY COULD YOU NOT SAVE YOURSELF, BUT YOU COULDN'T SAVE HER EITHER!"

NO! NO! I won't let this happen! I……WON'T!

Suddenly a grayish aura surrounded Link. He heard Ganon scream in pain and he felt the whips grip loosen and pull away.

"NO! It can't be!" Yelled Ganon.

Link and Saria rose to they're feet, but Link was confused. Someone began to speak in his mind as the Aura continued to circle him.

What's happening to me?

AH! Finnaly!

YOU! You're the voice from my dreams!

Yes I am! Haha! I'm the spirit that been dwelling in you for some time now!

Who are you?

Oh you know who I am!

What?

I think it's time I took over!

NO! Stop!

Your rage was enough of a spark for me to gain enough power!

NO! I won't let you control me!

Sorry, but Majora is my sworn enemy, so I fight him whether you like it or not!

AAARRGH!

Link began to groan in pain and clutched hit head.

"AAAAHHHHH!AAARRRGGHH!"

"Link what's going on?" the worried Saria asked in panic. Then the Aura completely engulfed Link. Saria slowly stepped back, she didn't know what to do.

When the aura came down she gasped and covered her mouth with he hands.

There stood Link, but different. His hair was grey, his hat was white, he had Red markings over his eyes and a blue streak down his forehead, he wore a white tunic with silver armor over it, the pupils of his eyes had vanished, and he held an intimidating double criss-crossed bladed sword in his steel gauntlets.

Saria shivered as she looked at him. "L…Link?
