Chapter 48: Accuracy of 120! Link vs. Kidoumaru!
The blinding flash dies down, allowing Ganondorf to open his eyes without getting blinded. He sees a large green field in front of him and the sky is particularly dark. "This place looks familiar…"
Then he sees a young boy in green standing in front of a moat, and across it is a large fortified city. In front of the boy is a black horse with a black rider on top of it. "Wait… This can't be! That's me!"
And so it is, the man on the black horse is Ganondorf himself. That Ganondorf asks the little boy, who is Link as a child. "Kid, did Zelda go in that direction?"
Link pulls out a sword and threatens him, but Ganondorf just laughs. "Ha! So you're thinking of stopping me! Do you know who I am?" He opens his palm wide and charges up an energy ball.
The real Ganondorf sees danger, so he quickly runs to Link to shove him aside. Strangely enough, Ganondorf just passes through him! The energy ball hits Link and pushes him onto the ground. "I can't touch him?" the real Ganondorf says to himself. "This must be some sort of a mirage!"
The Ganondorf on the horse says to Link, "I am Ganondorf, the man who will eventually rule the whole of Hyrule!"
The real Ganondorf remembers this immediately, "I remember now! This was the scene that took place when I was evil! That was when I wanted to look for the Triforce!"
Suddenly, purple fog covers the entire scene, blotting Ganondorf's sight. "Now what?"
He hears a voice saying to him, "Do you remember your evil intentions? Do you remember how much you wanted evil power?"
"Who's there?" asks Ganondorf. But nobody answers.

Sakon, Tayuya, and Kidoumaru are hopping from branch to branch. Sakon looks back while jumping and says, "What's taking Jirobou so long?"
"That pig thinks nothing but eating," says Tayuya. "That is why he is such a slowpoke."
Kidoumaru looks back and sees someone approaching. "Oh look! He's here!" And indeed it is Jirobou, catching up with them.
"Sorry for being late," apologizes Jirobou. "They somehow escaped my Earth Dome and I had to get rid of them myself."
"You never do things properly, you slob!" Tayuya scolds him. Jirobou just keeps silent to himself, and that's when Kidoumaru notices something wrong. He jumps to attack Jirobou, who quicky hops onto another branch to avoid it.
Kidoumaru takes off the box that he is carrying and throws it to Tayuya, telling her and Sakon to go first while he deals with Jirobou. "You are not Jirobou!" says Kidoumaru. "If you are, then why didn't you lecture Tayuya for using bad language?"
"Oh really? I didn't know he's that kind of person," replies Jirobou, and he transforms into Sheik! "You saw through it…"
Suddenly, the Smashers (Strangely, Link isn't in there) jump down from the leaves above Kidoumaru to attack him, but the 6-armed man quickly hops away and fires a large spider web at them. The web hits the Smashers and pushes them into Sheik, and they all get pushed into a tree and stick there. "Darn! Our plan failed again!" curses Bowser.
"You people managed to escape Jirobou, eh?" says Kidoumaru. Suddenly, Naruto and five of his shadow clones jump out from the tree above him to attack. Kidoumaru somehow notices them and quickly creates a large spider web, trapping the Naruto clones when they land onto it.
"Darn it!" says Naruto angrily.
"Crud! He got the kid too!" says DK.
Kidoumaru hops onto a higher tree branch and begins chewing something in his mouth, and he reaches into his mouth and takes out a long sticky yellow substance, which instantly dries up after he forms it into 6 darts. "Eew… What is that…?" asks Nana.
Kidoumaru looks at the 6 trapped Naruto and says, "Let's play a game, shall we?" He throws the yellow dart at one of the Naruto, and destroys it in a single blow. A fake one…
Kidoumaru throws the second dart at another Naruto, and it is a clone too. He throws the third and fourth dart at two Naruto at the same time, thinking that it'll double the chance. But sadly, both are clones too. He throws the fifth dart at one of the remaining last two, but again, a fake one…
"So the kid manage to live to the last… Oh well, the game is over!" He throws the last dart at the last of the Naruto! The dart stabs into Naruto's stomach and he disappears! A shock came to Kidoumaru's face. "What! All of them are clones!"
"Here I am!" shouts the real Naruto, jumping down from the leaves above him. Kidoumaru spots him and quickly jumps off, hurling some small web darts at him. The darts are about to hit the real Naruto when suddenly Link swings in holding onto a vine and knocks away the darts!
"Way to go, Link!" says Sheik happily, still trapped with the others in the web. Link swings to them and uses his sword to slice the webs into pieces. The Smashers are free! They fall to the forest floor with a thud…
THUD!
"Use a less painful way next time!" Bowser shouts up at him.
Kidoumaru is shocked that Link can cut through his webs! "How is it possible! My webs are suppose to be as hard as steel! Even two elephants pulling them from both directions cannot tear it in two!"
Link holds up his sword and lets the sun ray shines against it. "This is the Master Sword, the sword that can cut anything! Except diamonds, of course…" Kidoumaru isn't very happy to hear this. Link turns to his friends and tells them to go after the other two first. The others agree, as bringing back Sasuke is their mission in the first place, so they all move on, leaving Link to deal with the villain.
"You're not going anywhere!" Kidoumaru shouts at them. He spreads out his fingers and fire several strands of thin webs that are as stiff as steel wires. Link quickly throws a boomerang at him and hits him in the back of the head. When hit, Kidoumaru falls over and the strings limp.
He turns to Link angrily and says, "You're messing with my game! Fine, I'll play with you if you want!" Black markings begin to take over his body.
"You got some freaky body art, eh?" says Link. Kidoumaru jumps onto a higher branch, bites his finger, and then slams it against the branch he's standing on. "Summoning Jutsu!" A spider about the size of a van appears in a puff of smoke, standing on the tree trunk!
"Whoa! You got one large spider for a pet!" exclaims Link.
The spider lays out a large egg sac, which hatches into thousands of little spider and they all rain down towards Link. Link starts hacking and slashing the air wildly, killing the baby spiders as they approach him.
While he's hacking the spiders, Kidoumaru produces several web needles from his mouth and throws them at Link. Link sees the needles coming and quickly pulls up his shield to block it. The impact from the needle made a dent in his shield and it pushed him off the branch he's standing on! "WAAAAA!" He falls to the forest floor with a crash. "Oh… This must be how they felt when they fell down…"
More spiders rain down on Link, so he continues to slash them away. When the baby spiders are all gone, the giant spider lays out another egg sac and even more baby spiders hatch out from it! "Not again!" complains Link, and he continues to slash the spiders again.
While he is doing this, Kidoumaru hide into some leaves behind him and hurls several needles. Because Link is too busy with the spiders, he did not see the needles and they stab into his back. "ACK!" But he did not fall; he continues to stand upright and fight the spiders.
"He sure has great endurance!" says Kidoumaru. He continues to throw needles at Link. Link took too many needles in his back, and he is growing weaker and weaker. When the last baby spider is gone, the giant spider is angry. It lets out a roar and jumps down to crush Link, who quickly jumps out of its way.
After the spider lands onto the ground, Link charges at it and stabs his sword into the spider's head! The spider roars its last and disappears in a puff of smoke. "He took out my summoned spider!" gasps Kidoumaru. "He'll pay dearly for it!" He throws more needles at him. Because Link took to many hits from the previous needles, he couldn't defend himself from the incoming needles, and it stabs into his back again. Link grunts painfully and then falls face first onto the ground.
Kidoumaru smiles with pleasure. "The end of the game!" He turns around to catch up with the others, but then he hears the sound of rustling leaves. He turns to Link and is surprised to see him getting back up.
"I never die in a battle…" says Link weakly.
Kidoumaru is rather angry to see this, but at the same time, he is glad that he still gets to continue playing the game. The curse mark completely takes over his body. His body turns reddish brown, his hair turns white, his face becomes more demented, and he grows a third eye on his forehead! He now looks more like a monster rather than a human! He opens his mouth and pulls out a long sticky web out of it, and forms it into the shape of a large bow! Next, he takes out a large web arrow and places it on the bow and aims at Link.
"I'll end this game soon," he says to himself. He pulls the arrow back and then fires it. Link sees the arrow coming and quickly dodges it. When the arrow hits the ground, it explodes and blasts Link away!
"AAAHHHH!"
"He avoided it… That's pretty good. Now let's see if he can avoid this!" He creates another arrow and fires it at him again. Once again, Link is able to avoid it, but not the explosion afterwards.
"He's hiding in where I cannot see him!" says Link. "Now he's threatening me with these exploding arrows! I must try to find him while avoiding his arrows! Perhaps if I hide in a farther place, he can't see me!" He begins to run farther and farther away from Kidoumaru.
"He thinks he can escape my arrows by running away? Ha! My accuracy is 120 percent accurate! I can even control the movement of the arrow by using a web string!" He gets out another arrow and readies it.
Link is running in a zigzag path, thinking it'll increase the chances for the arrow to miss. He got behind a thick tree trunk and hides there. "I should be safe here. Now I should come up with a plan to fight back."
Kidoumaru aims his arrow at the tree Link is hiding behind. "It's no use! Nobody can escape my super accurate aim!" He releases the bowstring and the arrow shoots forward.
Link is leaning against the tree, trying to come up with a plan. "I will use the Eye of Truth first to find out his hiding place, and then…" Before he can finish his statement, an explosion rocks the tree. "AAAAAAH!"
Kidoumaru smiles happily. "Fufufu! Final boss defeated!"
The smoke from the explosion dies down. Link is seen still leaning against the tree, and the arrow that hit the tree shot right through the trunk and impaled through Link's right shoulder. He stands there, blood flowing down from his shoulder and mouth.
"I never die in battle… I have a mission to accomplish… The Hero of Time… never dies…"
He slowly lifts his finger and dips it with the blood that is dripping down from his mouth. He grips a Silver Arrow tightly, and says softly to himself (with the help of a small sheet of paper CH passed out) the magic words. As soon as he said this, the Silver Arrow begins to glow. Thinking that it must've become stronger, he places it against the bow, and the most surprising thing happened; the bow transforms into a large silver bow!
Kidoumaru sees a glow coming from behind the tree and wonders to himself what it is. Link looks at his newly transformed bow and says, "Cool…"
Quick as a flash, he hops out from his hiding place and looks with the Eye of Truth, a magnifying glass that can see through anything. "I see him!" He pulls back the Silver Arrow and then lets go!
Kidoumaru sees the arrow coming towards him. "What speed! And how accurate it is!" He quickly dodges the incoming arrow. "Ha! Missed!" When he turns around to look at the arrow, he is surprised to see the arrow turning around by itself! "A homing arrow! How can it be!"
Before he can react, the arrow pierces through his third eye. Kidoumaru falls off the tree and tumbles onto the forest floor. Slowly, his body turns back to its original form.
Link thought he saw something or someone falling in the distance. Did he get him? Or was it just a fruit falling down. He sits against the tree and takes out a bottle of red potion, taking large gulps from it. His wound is too serious, even a red potion can't heal him completely. "I'm sorry… I'm afraid I can't catch up with you and lend you guys a helping hand…"
The bottle falls out from his hand as his body falls limp, leaning peacefully against the tree…
A few seconds later, you can hear him snoring loudly…
TO BE CONTINUED…
Kidoumaru is gone now! Only Sakon and Tayuya left and it's over! Or is it…? And no, you clearly see the last sentence. "You can hear him snoring loudly." So guess whether Link is still alive or not.
