A/N: As of last chapter, all other stories were put on hold. Right now, I have a compulsive desire to write the rest of this story. If it goes well, I could end up finishing it up soon. Look forward to some fast updates. But remember, no promises.
The Goddesses' Knights
Link drew the Master Sword from its stone pedestal. He softly touched its luster blade with his hand and grasped its blue hilt.
"I hope that this is the last time I ever have to use this." He said.
"I do too." Zelda said from behind him. She had been there since he opened up the door of time again for this battle. She closed the gap between them and kissed Link. "I love you."
"I love you too." Link responded. "Zelda, this isn't our last time we see each other. I will come back victorious."
"I know, I know deep down that you will." Zelda said.
"Zelda, Link, what's happening?" Malon asked as she walked into the temple. Promised by the foreign designer, she looked even more stunning than before. She wore a long, magenta dress and her hair was in curls. "First Silver comes into the house and starts talking and then all of Hyrule is at the castle."
Link looked away gravely. "Malon, Ganondorf has finally made his move and that leaves us at check. One more and then it's check mate for us. Right now, I'm going to make sure that wont happen. Where is Vincent?"
"I don't know." Malon said.
Vincent walked toward the temple. He had a fierce look in his eyes. Vincent looked up to see the scarlet bird let out a call with its beautiful voice. It swooped down and landed upon his shoulders. For the first time, Vincent managed to get a good look at the bird. It wasn't a small one but no great owl either, almost weightless on his shoulder and powerful in its composure. Its feathers made a crest on its head. It golden eyes stared at him.
"I though about this for a long time." Vincent said. "I think I should name you. How about Blaze?"
The bird looked at him with an agreement.
"Vincent!" called out a woman's voice from behind him.
He turned to see his sister and brother running up to him. Clair carried a halberd and Alistor carried with him a sword. Both of them had tunics in their colors.
"What is it?" Vincent asked. "I hope your not thinking of fighting. I'm not going to allow that."
"But Fenrir cam to us and see that we should. Besides, you need us." Clair said. "We are your siblings, it's in our blood."
"No."
"But…"
"No."
"Vincent," Alistor said. "You know us. You know what we're capable of accomplishing."
"True, but I also know that neither of you have any experience. Those weapons you carry act different in a real fight. Just go find mother, you'll be safe."
"We are just as good as you brother, if not better. You left us so you have no idea how good we are now. We are going to fight along side you no matter what you say."
Vincent sighed in defeat. There was no way for him to change their minds. He continued up to the temple with them following him. He grasped the doors that closed the temple and opened them up.
The doors swung open and Link saw Vincent and his brother and sister walk in. Lyndis had already come in before and was prepared for battle. She was his sister after all, they share the same swordsman bloodline.
Link eyed the bird perched on Vincent's shoulder but decided against it to ask about it. "Come on Vincent, let's get outside. The army of Hyrule is situated out there but they aren't going to be enough."
Vincent nodded. "I know what you mean. How about I take the hundred thousand and you just focus on getting o Ganondorf."
"And let you have all the fun?" Link asked. "Seriously though, let's get out there."
Everyone inside started his or her way out. Malon stared at the stones and noticed when they began glowing.
"Look everyone, those stones."
Each of them began to glow in their color. A small figure materialized inside before they grew out of the stone. Three beautiful women dresses in white robes stood by the stones, already full-grown. One had red hair and eyes, the second had blue hair and eyes, and the third had green hair and eyes.
"If it isn't the Hero of Time sisters." The one with red hair said. "Seems we're on time after all."
"And there are our Knights." The one with green hair said. "But where our the legendary creatures?"
"Not to be disrespectful or anything," Vincent said. "But who the hell are you three?"
"Honey, I think you should be careful with what you say." Malon said.
"You got to be kidding me, they cant be…its impossible…I'm not believing it."
"Believe it Vincent Dante Aegis, Goddess Knight of Power. I am Din, your giver of power." The redhead, who apparently is Din, said.
"Goddess Knight?" Vincent asked.
"You see Vincent," Nayru started. "You and your brother and sister are the descendants of our first three angels. They were known as our Knights, always willing to do our request. You have inherited the wisdom we imbued them with."
"We can't forget about Link Knightly, sisters." Farore said.
"Oh yes, Link, Hero of Time." Din said. "Our chosen leader for the knights and Hyrule. Full of devotion, zealous, and our power."
"Strange how he has a sister though. None of the others had a twin." Farore said.
"I know this is a huge moment right now." Vincent said. "But right now we have a war to win."
"How enthusiastic we are." Din said. "I'm glad that you are my Knight."
"I'm sorry Din, Nayru, Farore, but we really must go." Link said. "I know that Goddesses cannot intervene with mortals but I understand that you need to see how it will come to an end." He turned to Vincent and the others. "Zelda, Malon, stay here, with the Goddesses. Vince, come on, let's get this over with."
Link, Lyndis, Clair, and Alistor started to walk out of the temple. Vincent looked at Malon to find a worried look on her face. She kept her head down as he stared at her.
"What's the matter Malon?" Vincent asked.
"I don't want you to go." Malon said. "What if, what if you don't come back?"
Vincent lifted her head up. "Don't worry I will." He reached into his pocket and, still looking into each other eyes, slipped the ring on her finger. "I wouldn't tell a lie to my fiancé"
Vincent ran outside to meet up with Link. He crossed the wooden drawbridge and looked at the fires burning their way through the forest. The sun was slowly lowering itself down in the west.
"Alright," Link said as Vincent joined them in the field. "Raise the bridge!"
The drawbridge began its way up to close off the castle. Link held his sword tightly in his hand and flexed his arm that was bound to his Hylian Shield. Vincent began to stretch his arms and then took a deep breath.
"Link," Vincent said. "I wanted to tell you that I'm glad that I was able to meet you. You have been a good friend. But…"
"But?"
"I'd really like to, once this is all over, to find which one of us is the better swordsman." Vincent said. "You know, just to see."
"Yeah, that would be great. Same here Vince, you're a good friend too." Link responded. He turned to the army of Hyrule that was situated outside with them. Link had some of the better archers in the army positioned on top of the castle walls, ready to pick any enemy in their sites.
"Link, Link, over here." Said a voice from behind them.
Link turned to see Nabooru and her band of Gerudos walking toward them. A similar greeting was heard in the opposite direction. He turned to see Darunia and Ruto with their soldiers from their tribes.
"What are you all doing here?" Link inquired once they all managed to get close enough.
"Link, brother, we are the sages. Zelda told us of what was happening." Darunia said.
"So we all decided to come with our best warriors to aid in helping to defeat Ganondorf." Ruto said.
"What about the Kokiri?"
"Do not worry, I managed to get them all into Death Mountain. You know about the connection right brother? Saria was reluctant to go, she wanted to help but they are just too small." Darunia said.
Link chuckled. "True, but I was that small once too. Didn't I manage to unblock your cave and rid it of Dondongos?"
Darunia pounded his chest and then patted Link on the back with rock-breaking force. "That is true brother." He turned south to see the fires growing brighter and the smoke thicker. "They are almost upon us."
Vincent drew his swords. He closed his eyes for a minute and then the red aura radiated off of him. He turned his attention south as well. "I wish we didn't have to do this…all a waste of time. Ganondorf is going to lose and nothings going to change it."
"How do you that?" Link asked.
"It makes sense know," Vincent said. "It is that power from the Goddesses Link. I'm sure you and Clair and Alistor have it too. We are the Goddesses' Knights; we have powers we never knew we did. And now is the time we used them. We will know how to unleash it when it is time. I only have just scarped the true power they gave us Link."
Link knew Vincent spoke the truth. He looked down to the Triforce of Courage on his hand. It began to glow brightly until Link himself was glowing in a yellow aura.
"So this is how it feels. It's like nothing can hurt me." Link said.
Vincent frowned. "I wish that were true too, Ganondorf was no push over last time. We were pretty much equals and I'm sure he has just gotten stronger since last time. We're going to have to go at full power."
They all heard a maniacal laugh and focused their eyes toward the burning woods.
"Come on Ganondorf, to the settling of everything." Link muttered.
