Vaati

"Who the fuck are you?" Zelda demanded boldly.

The man blinked at her hostility. Then he smiled slyly.

"Why, my name is Vaati, my good lady..." he said with a chuckle.

"W-what? I'm confused..." squeaked Komali from his cage.

Vaati glanced at Komali.

"Of course, all of you children are clueless. I must explain..."

Everybody's favorite wind mage nudged the body of Bambi with his foot.

"You've been lied to this whole time. I was the enemy. I was the Bambi you grew to know, but actually, I was merely possessing a clueless yet powerful little girl..."

"You're not making any sense..." said Zelda slowly, stroking Link's hair soothingly.

"Then I shall just have to tell my story, won't I?

Many months ago, I, being the super awesome genius and over-achiever that I am, escaped the weakened seal of the Four Sword. The Four Sword had not been buried along with Hyrule. It had been taken to the land above during the great sealing of Hyrule, so I need not have worried about escaping this place when it was totally sealed. I quickly escaped the bindings of the Four Sword and fled to calculate a plan. And then, a vision came to me by way of dream...

I dreamt of a girl on Windfall who, after the fall of Ganondorf, would be entrusted with the power that he once held: the Triforce of Power. It was then that I decided to take the power of the Triforce for myself. I went to Windfall, and met this girl before Ganondorf was slayed by the hero Link...as you may have already guessed, this girl was the REAL Bambi..." Vaati glanced at Bambi's body, and continued, "Of course, she, like every other chick on Windfall, was completely enfatuated with me (which doesen't really surprise me). I singled her out and got her to fall in love with me. You see, the...ahem...real Bambi was a bit of an airhead. She was way too optimistic, way too naive, and I couldn't wait to put a stop to her stupidity. At last, she finally got the Triforce of Power..."

Vaati grinned slyly. "I saw then that it was time to make a move. She was growing suspicious of my fascination in her powers, so one night, I roughly forced my way into her body. Daphness Nohansen Hyrule witnessed that scene when he pried into my mind...well, her mind. Both of ours or something...whatever.

It was my mission to collect the other two Triforce pieces. That's how you little rats found yourselves victimized by me.

I planned to stay in Bambi's body until I had collected the other two pieces, and unfortunately, I was pried from it before that could happen, THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR FUCKING LIGHT ARROWS, BITCH!" Zelda blinked.

Vaati calmed himself.

"But no matter... I can easily defeat all of you in this form, and I can still get all three Triforce pieces."

"NEVER! I WON'T LET YOU, YOU MONSTER! YOU HARMED AN INNOCENT GIRL, AND ROYALLY PISSED EVERYONE OFF!" Zelda yelled.

Link's eyes opened weakly.

"W-wait...Bambi's innocent...?" he uttered.

"Yes, Link... It was THIS asshole all along..." replied Zelda, glaring steadily at Vaati. Vaati chuckled.

Link moaned in pain.

"Big brother! Are you ok?" Aryll asked from her cage.

Komali pointed a shaky finger at the body of Bambi.

"I-is she...dead?" he asked.

Vaati looked down at Bambi.

"Hmm...I don't know. And at the moment, I don't particularly care."

The wind mage looked around at everyone.

"Well, either someone fights me and I kill you slowly, or you surrender your Triforce pieces with no struggle, and I'll kill you quickly."

Zelda looked down at Link. He could not fight... Her eyes locked on Bambi. She was most likely dead. Komali and Aryll...they couldn't fight, and they were in cages anyway... The princess was not about to surrender, so she knew what she had to do...

Zelda decided against using her katana. It didn't have the light powers of the Master Sword, so she gently picked up the blade of evil's bane, and stood up, staring at Vaati with determination.

Vaati raised a brow.

"A silly little girl wants to fight me? Hmmm...it's a bit of a waste of time, but if it'll get me what I want, then so be it. However, Princess Zelda, I must warn you. You are not the blade's wielder, and there's no way you can handle that sword properly, so in other words...you're doomed."

"HA! Shove THAT statement up your pretty lil' ass crack, 'cause I'm gonna take you down, cock sucker!" Zelda declared.

Vaati picked up the twin swords.

"Very well then, my lady... Let the battle commence."
