OK, this chapter was written in somewhat excitement (I just got done watching Angel. *sniff* My poor vampire honey buns…) and in a rush. I wanted to hurry up and get this done. ^.^ I'VE GOT A SEMI-GOOD ENDING PLANNED!!! BWAHA!!!! So yeah, now I'm trying to get past this part as quick as I can so I start trying to write it =P
Oh yeah, and by the way, yeah. I suck at writing action parts. So guess what that means =P This battle shooooould be done by the end of this chapter…
MonoChronos: Nah, I don't like sequels that much. This'll be it. I have a good ending finally planned.
Gohan-Chan: Aww… why not? *sadistic voice* it's fun hurting people…
And I've acquired a taste of liking cliff hangers. So eh… yeah =P This will be a horrible cliff hanger!!! But if you're allll good *paternal voice* I just MIGHT do the next chappie quickly.
BIG IMPORTANT NOTE!!!! *Cough* I just now realized that I never mentioned anything about the 3 stones. You know, the ruby, the emerald, the sapphire? Well… uh… yeah! It's an AU!!! We don't need them in this story =D So eh… yeah, just forget that part! AND as another note, the Master Sword is within the room that the door of time protects… but um… yeah, it's in the other dimension of the sacred realm… yeah… that's it! Instead, the Triforce rests there. Cause I REALLY don't want to have to do the sacred realm thing =P
(A.N. This starts out in Zelda's mind)
Zelda wanted to burst out screaming, and start smashing the mirror into shards. However, she didn't, seeing how she'd only get more bruises to her face. She'd tried earlier whenever Ganondorf had made a cheap shot at Impa.
She even stood up whenever she saw herself leaping at Link to try and kill him, ready to go through with destroying the mirror, but then she cooled off whenever he dodged her attack. So far, they were just circling each other, with her body making random and rather annoying comments. You know, the annoying kind that a boss makes like, "Just give up! What's the point?"
Of course, Link never answered these remarks, he just stood with his dagger ready to try and fend off her sword if she came at him again like that.
Impa and Ganondorf were still going strong. It was hard to even tell which one was winning. Impa seemed to be more tired and weaker, but he seemed to have the received the most blows to his face. She wasn't sure about the rest of their bodies. Impa didn't have as good as armor as Ganondorf had on since she wasn't ready for a tough battle, so she probably had more body hits than he did.
What truly peeved her was that she couldn't control anything that she wanted to see. She'd see herself making another lunge at Link, and all the sudden the mirror would switch it back to Impa's battle. Then it went to Navi, and showed only her at moments.
Suddenly, it switched back to Link. He was looking like he was in deep panic, and was running towards the side. She assumed it was Impa he was trying to reach. Then, her lifeless body grabbed him and shoved him down onto the ground. She straddled him to where he couldn't get up, and held her sword to his throat. She started to move it back in forth in tiny little motions. Zelda could see the pain he was feeling from his clenching fists.
Finally reaching her limit, she got up, and started screaming, "SHOW EITHER LINK OR IMPA!!! I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT STUPID FAERIE!"
For a split second, she felt something crawl on her skin. She let out a little cry. Her skin almost felt as if she was being dipped into water. Then, the room became distorted. Cracks started appearing in the ceiling, and the ground underneath gave way. She screeched at the top of her lungs as she started to fall down into the hole that seemed to suck her in.
"Umph!" Was the sound Impa made when Ganondorf made a final blow to her stomach. She kneeled over, barely hanging onto her sword as her arm limply flopped downwards. He smirked. She was no longer capable of fighting, atleast not well enough to save herself from him.
"IMPA!" Link took his gaze off of Zelda, and looked at Impa. He instantly turned around, without thinking, trying to go to her rescue as Ganondorf grabbed Impa's hair and lifted her face up to meet his.
This was all Zelda needed. She made a lunge at Link, and pushed him down onto the ground. In shock, Link let go of his dagger and it clattered onto the ground a good few yards away from him. Immediately, she was on top of him with her sword to his throat.
"Zelda!" He gasped out.
She just smirked. Leisurely, she pressed the sword down towards his neck. "Should I cut your head off slowly… or should I do it cleanly…" She started moving the sword back and forth, making little cuts on his neck. Link clenched his fists and teeth to keep from throwing her off and hitting her, or making noises indicated he was in pain.
Meanwhile, Ganondorf was smiling like a little boy who just got a bar of chocolate added in with some evil mad scientist smile. Impa, on the other hand, was having a hard time breathing. She vaguely remembered hearing something cracked when he made his blow to her in the side. She opened up an eye and looked at him. "Do you think you've won?"
He laughed, and threw her up against the wall. She let another "umph!" as she hit and bounced off onto the floor. Had she not been feeling numb all over, she would've definitely known the feeling of having a broken rib bone at that moment. As for right now, all she could feel was a dull pain surging through her body that seemed to fade into a sense of nothing, and then come back again slowly taking its own sweet time.
"I know I've won."
She kept perfectly still. She felt herself beginning to collect every last bit of power she had left. I won't let him get through the doors of time… "Why haven't you killed me yet? Why are you just waiting?"
He laughed coldly. "Death would end your pain. I want you to suffer. I want to see you despise and hate yourself for failing to save this pathetic land."
He turned, and started walking towards Zelda and Link. She was still making slow work on her promise to cut him to shreds. "Stop Zelda."
She stopped cutting, but kept the blade at his throat.
"It is time, we shall awaken the power of something greater than everything, and we shall destroy everything. We will destroy all good, and all evil. We shall create a world of nothing, where nothing can live. There will be no evil, but no good either. The perfect existence."
Zelda nodded, and changed the sword position. She turned it to where the tip point was at his neck, to where all she had to do was press down and it would go through his throat even easier, even if he just simply moved upwards. With her other hand, she removed the ocarina from his pocket.
"Get up off him. If he should move, he will die by my power instantly. Should he move while you're in the way, he'll have the satisfaction of knowing that his princess acted as a human shield for him." He held his hand up, and created a black ball of energy, ready to shoot it at Link at any moment.
Zelda nodded, and sheathed her sword. She stood up, and walked to the alter again. Link started to move again, but Ganondorf made a clear warning to him. "After I kill you, I'll kill her. Do you understand?"
Link remained perfectly still. Navi even remained perfectly still, who was trying to give Impa some type of comfort from her faerie powers.
For the third time, Zelda put the ocarina to her lips and started to play the song of time. Everyone was silent as she played the song beautifully and perfectly. When it was done, Ganondorf let out a could laugh, but then he was sorely interrupted. Impa had yelled triumphantly, "Your evil deeds are done for Ganondorf, may you rot in hell!"
All of the energy she had collected throughout her body appeared in her hands, she aimed it at him, and she shot everything she had at him. Immediately, she went limp against the grown. There was no more strength left.
Ganondorf immediately felt the full blow in his back, and felt it enter his body. At first, only excruciating pain was all he could feel. Then he felt a sense of weakness. Her energy was neutralizing his, and he could feel it weakening him. Zelda instantly stopped, knowing her master was in distress, and awaited his next command.
He was going to die, there was no doubt about that in Ganondorf's mind. He had let himself be consumed by the darkness so long that that was all he was made out of by now. At the rate that her attack was affecting him, he wouldn't have even been able to reach the Triforce before he was completely destroyed. He dropped down to his knees, and started building up the last bit of his energy for one final attack. Atleast I shall have the pleasure of ruining their lives forever… he thought bitterly. Dumbfounded, Link could only stare. Navi was smiling in triumphant, unaware for what he was going to do as his "parting gift".
"Of light I was made, and in darkness shall I fade." He laughed cruelly, and growled. "I regret nothing. I wouldn't choose any other way to die than this, even without my perfect world, even if I was so close to obtaining it. Wanting is more pleasure than having, remember that boy! I shall save you, and take away the object of your desire!"
With his last few seconds of life, as Link scrambled to his dagger, and started coming after him, Ganondorf sent all of his energy directly at Zelda. In one more second, he had a knife cut through a side of his neck, and slice all the way to the other side. He gasped for one more breath that would never come, and his body exploded into dark particles that faded away.
Zelda dropped the ocarina, which landed on the altar unbroken, and slinked down to the ground. Within the last moments that her eyes were open, you could see them come back to life, and then she closed them as the doors of time opened up all the way.
Ooooooh I love cliffies ^.^
