Yiga Clan Hideout, Barren Desert, World of Trophies
Link, Pit, Kirby, Shulk, and Sheik were all about to escape the wrath of the Yiga Clan and their new ruthless master Ganondorf.
Just as they were about to escape though, the King of Evil made his ultimate move and transformed into a monstrosity only few have seen.
The five heroes all bore witness to the wrath of Ganon.
Since there was a wall of fire blocking the fighters' escape, they were left with no choice but to fight the creature to their last breath.
"None of you are going anywhere!" Declared Ganon. "I will annihilate you all here and now!"
The creature then took a swing at the heroes. Fortunately, they all managed to avoid the blast in time.
"How can we stop this?" Said Pit as he was reorienting himself. "It's like he's invincible!"
Sheik then looked at Link. "Link! I need you to attack it with your Master Sword. No matter the form, he's still vulnerable to that blade!"
"You're right." Responded the hero. "It's all on me! If I don't beat him, he'll rule this world before Galeem reduces it to nothing!"
"Go! We're all counting on you!" Shouted Sheik.
Link was running toward Ganon with every ounce of will he could muster.
"What about us?" Said Pit. "I'm not really feeling this strategy!"
The Sheikah warrior was quick to respond. "The rest of us will clear a path for him! Whether that serves as mere distraction or genuine harm!"
Kirby and Pit went up high to attack from above. While Link went on low.
The trio was immediately greeted by gigantic sword swings coming from the two golden blades he possessed. This made it hard for the fighters to land any major hits on him.
Sheik stayed behind because he could see Shulk covered in brutal injuries from his earlier fight with Ganondorf.
The Sheikah warrior got to the Monado wielder and pulled out a potion.
Shulk was barely responding but was conscious enough to move his head and eyes.
"Drink this. It's made from durians, truffles, and fairy tears. It will heal your injuries and leave you rejuvenated." Said Sheik.
Nodding was all that Shulk could do in order to accept the potion.
Sheik then poured the potion down his mouth, rapidly healing any injuries the Monado wielder had before.
Shulk was then about to effortlessly get up before being helped up by Sheik.
"You feel better?" Asked the Sheikah Warrior.
"I'm really feeling it!" Responded Shulk with enthusiasm.
"Good." Replied Sheik. "Let's help the others."
The two then ran towards the creature with every ounce of energy they had available.
Pit was directing arrows of light at Ganon. He was aiming for his eyes and forehead, but all the arrows could do were irritate him. Kirby was floating up to Ganon's eye level and tried to grab onto the creature's horn, but was immediately shaken off and launched back onto the sandy ground.
Meanwhile, Link was struggling with finding a weak spot down below. It's no use! No matter where I hit, he's still not budging!
Just when he was about to make another half witted beeline toward Ganon out of desperation, he noticed something glowing behind him. His tail.
That's it! Thought Link to himself.
The hero then rolled in between Ganon's legs, allowing him direct access to the tail. As soon as he saw it, he took a swing.
Once the blade connected with the tail, Ganon roared out in pain as he knelt to the ground. After a few more seconds, the creature took a leap away from the hero to another area of the desert still encircled by his flame.
"Just because you know where to attack me doesn't mean you've won!" Shouted the beast.
Ganon then charges up a red ball of energy in his mouth before releasing it as a devastating beam that cleaved the sandy ground in two.
This splits the fighters with Link, Pit, and Sheik on one side to the right while Shulk and Kirby are stuck on the left side.
Ganon aimed his fury at the fighters on the right side by focusing static energy through his swords for devastating rings of electricity.
Link and Sheik had no problem avoiding the attack. However, Pit's left leg was caught in the strike, rendering it immobile.
The other two fighters looked back and immediately saw what was about to happen.
As Ganon was charging up another blast beam, he was stopped by something behind him. After a few more seconds, he dropped to his knees.
When all three fighters tried to look behind the creature, they saw Shulk using buster-powered Monado strikes on the tail. The damage Shulk inflicted was undoubtedly enough to get Ganon on his knees.
"Now's your chance! Finish him!" Shouted the Monado wielder.
As Link was about to head on over to the creature, Sheik stopped him by grabbing his arm. "You won't make it in time! The distance between you and him is too great! If you go for the kill now, he'll recover before you make it and you most likely won't make it!"
"Then that's a risk I'm willing to take if it means this evil will be destroyed." Responded Link.
"Please! I can't watch you die again!" Pleaded Sheik without realizing what she said.
Almost without hesitation, this immediately took Link off guard. He looked at Sheik once more and found himself in utter suspicion, confusion, and shock. " … What?
Then, a faint voice snapped Link back to reality.
"This joker won't be down forever! Hurry!" Shouted Shulk "I can't hold him down much longer!"
After some hesitation, Sheik decided to let Link finish the job. She let go of his arm and let him run off toward Ganon.
"Please live. For everyone's sake." Uttered the Sheikah warrior to herself.
As Link was running toward Ganon, he knew full well that he wasn't going to make it in time. Luckily for him though, he had friends in high places.
"Kirby! I need a lift!" Shouted the hero.
The puffball then flew about three meters above the ground, but still in front of Link. After a few more seconds, the hero stopped and got on his knees.
Pit saw this and was confused. "Link! What are you doing?"
Link's position didn't happen for too long though, because when he opened his eyes, he immediately rose up into the air while surrounded by a green wind. "Revali's Gale!"
Just as when he reached the uppermost point of the updraft he created, Kirby caught him and immediately went toward Ganon at a much faster pace than on foot.
"Thank you Kirby. All I need you to do now is to bring me above that monster's head." Said Link.
In no time flat, the warpstar was above Ganon's body. That was when Link made his move. He drew his master sword and jumped off, plummeting closer to the creature. He immediately got himself into a position where the Master Sword was pointed downward with both hands on the hilt.
Shulk couldn't hold down the tail any longer and let go, causing Ganon to recover. However, he was too late.
As the monster looked up, his forehead was brutally punctured by the falling Link's Master Sword.
This was enough to defeat him for the time being. However, he wasn't done. He went into a furious rampage in every direction with the fighters making sure to stay out of the way.
After a few moments of this, he collapsed, with Link jumping off the creature with the Master Sword still lodged in his forehead.
The other four fighters came up to Link just as he was gliding back down to the sandy ground.
"Is it over?" Asked Shulk.
Ganon's monstrous body soon caught a reddish purple fire. This caught the attention of the heroes.
When the flames faded, Ganondorf was back in his human form, with the Master Sword about three meters in front of him. He was lying down in pain and was covered in bruises and gashes. Additionally, his armor and cape were significantly dented and tattered.
When the King of Evil saw the five heroes looking down at him, he knew he wouldn't be getting off easy.
Fortunately for Ganondorf, he still had enough magic power to escape.
"This isn't over, Link." Uttered the Gerudo through choking blood. "That goes for the rest of you too."
Before everyone had time to react, Ganondorf made a dark portal that he immediately went through, taking him elsewhere.
By the time everyone had figured out what the King of Evil had attempted, the portal closed, leaving them unable to follow him.
Link was a bit angry that he wasn't able to finish Ganondorf then and there, but was nonetheless satisfied because of their survival and recent victory.
Kirby immediately floated up to Link's chest and hugged it, indicating the happiness that his friend was alive.
Pit got a hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. "I'm glad you didn't die on us back there."
"Thank you." Responded Link. "I really hate to say this now, but I feel like we should get back on track to finding the Korok Forest. We still have Galeem to worry about."
Pit immediately remembered about Galeem. "You're right. It's time we get that power and find him."
"I'm sorry, but who's Galeem?" Asked Shulk.
Sheik was in the same boat too so naturally, she wanted to know as well.
Link and Pit immediately filled them in on their situation as well as the threat Galeem poses.
Shulk then realized what he must do. "I'll go with you."
Link wasn't surprised by this, considering his fighting skills against the Yiga Clan and Ganondorf. "That's great to hear."
The hero then turned his head toward Sheik, who was a little aloof from the rest of the group. "What about you?"
"I'm just… " Uttered the Sheikah warrior as she was thinking about her choices. After a good while, she made up her mind. "Yes. I'll go with you."
"Yeah! Now that you two are here, we'll be unstoppable!" Said Pit with enthusiasm.
Link, Shulk, and Sheik couldn't help but smile at the angel's optimism and resilience despite what happened with his home and friends.
Kirby was similarly excited. After jumping in glee, he floated and landed in Pit's arms to be carried once more.
Pit was alright with this because of his feather level weight.
Link knew that the angel and puffball were ready. He then turned his head toward his new comrades. "You two ready?"
Shulk and Sheik nodded in response, indicating they were ready to walk.
"Good. Now let's find that tower." Link then looked at the destination that appeared on his Sheikah Slate. He set a pin on it and started to follow its trail with the others following behind him.
With their victory over Ganon, the five warriors knew they wouldn't be going down without a fight.
