Hatred's Cruel Shadow10

Ganon smiled as the horse disappeared from his view. Finally! Things were actually going to work out just like planned. He saw Link trudge through the door and look at him. Ganon smiled and gestured he come closer. He sighed and complied.

"I'm really glad that you could actually be here to help"Ganon said brightly. Link said nothing but looked at him.

" You hvae no idea how much trouble I went through to get you where you are today...I should have manipulated minds earlier".

"Wait...what?"Link's eyes narrowed.

Zelda slowed Epona down and got onto the floor. She grabbed the reigns and led the horse inside her abonden castle. Once safely inside and back in her tower she sat on her still made bed. It was slightly dusty,but she didn't care. She went inside her closet took out a blue potion,it was how she had been staying alive without food inside the ruins. Epona whinned softly as she drank some. She briefly closed her eyes and could feel her energy flow once again. She'd only need a few moments of rest,but something made her uneasy to just sit there and wait for who knows how long.Making sure she could actually use her magic once more,she summoned the powers of the sages and made almost a crystal ball looking thing. It would let her listen and watch Link,this way she could still see him,even though he couldn't see her. When she looked to see his face,it was full of disbelief,and he looked pissed.

"What do you mean by that Ganon?" Link asked heatedly.

"You didn't possibly think I wouldn't interfear to have the greatest warrior on my side did you?"

"You...you set me up...you knew I would be heading towards the castle so you sent that creature on me! Its poison was some sort of tracker wasn't it?You toyed with the minds of the villagers and made them become hateful beings making me kill them! You were waiting for Zelda to leave,but why?...You knew I wouldn't be as good as a hero without her around. You made me do these things! You controled my heart with that stupid venom and made me turn cruel,but even then my heroic side wouldn't give in".

Ganon looked at him and smirked.

"Your smarter than you look,but only a little to late"Ganon smiled evilly and stated to laugh.

"You were jealous of me weren't you?"

That remark got Ganon to stop laughing and look at him. His eyes darkend and he scowled.

Zelda's jaw dropped at what she just heard. They were fooled,she needed to go back to him,no matter how much pain she felt. She was not about to let him fight this battle alone. She jumped down on Epona and road back, nonstop.

Ganon and Link were walking in circles, like vultures cricling their prey. Ganon bawled up his fists and set full force into a blow that knocked Link into the wall. When he opened his eyes they were pure white,as though the elf was blind,but then color came back to them. The deadly blue coloring set in as the streaks disappeared from his hair. Those infurnal wings dropped off him as though he had stopped caring a giant goron. His dark clothing was turning its usual green,and all his equipment had come back to him. He reached inside his magic tunic and pulled out the megaton hammer.

"Lets see if I still remember how to do this" Link said coldly and he swung the hammer horizonally,causing Ganon to fly backwards and crash into the steel throne,breaking it. Ganon started to panic, Link's heroic side was back,and very angry with him. But what if Ganon could reach back to his dark side using his dark magic? That might work. Before Link could pound Ganon's skull to bits with the longed missed hammer, Ganon caught his arm and swirling energy appeared at his fingertips. He placed it over Link's heart and the dark Link came back. Ganon let go and the dark Link backed off a bit and held a hand to help Ganon up. Ganon took his hand and stood up.

"Thank you".

"No problem" Link smiled as the hammer came back and knocked him back down.

'It didn't work?HOW!' Ganon thought franitcally. He used his power of the Inner Eye and saw that both his sides were no longer fighting against eachother. His heroic side had healed from the wound inflicted by his darkside and now both were standing side by side shaking in anger.

"Uh oh".

"Uh oh,would be right!" a voice said and forced Ganon into the wall. Zelda was in her Sheik outfit,for easy movement. The five inch claws that stuck out from the sleeves made viscious cuts along Ganon's arm. Link looked like himself again,except for one red eye,and one blue eye. Both his sides were going to kill him for everything he had cost them. Zelda used her own magic and got out a long lost friend of Link's.

"I picked this up for you"she smiled as she handed him the Master Sword. It jolted with power as he grabbed the handle.It was happy to see him.

With Master Sword in one hand and shield in other, Link was brought down a trip down memory lane. He was going to beat Ganon again! He swore it! And this time,Zelda wasn't helplessly watching from the sidelines. She was with him. She was quick to, she must have healed fast. Ganon was not weak,infact he was still quite strong. He growled from deep within his throat and made two blades appear in his hands. He slashed them all about,narrowly missing Zelda's arm and Link's shoulder. Link pushed her in the opposite direction and signalled to her what to do. They both ran up his arms,for he had increased his size to make it harder on them. Link brought the sword down and made streaks of blood appear,which with the spirtual powers burned like the seven fires of hell itself. 'Come on,take the bait' Link chanted inside his mind. Indeed Ganon did,and focused his attention on Link rather than Zelda who was near his skull. She tapped on his ear causing him to look back up. She smiled then waved,then used her five inch claws and drilled them straight into Ganon's left eye. It came out nicely from his socket,as well as spraying blood. Zelda then jumped off and stood clear of the howling Ganon. Blindly he pounded his fists into the ground,hoping to hit her. Zelda yawned as she stayed in one place and wasn't touched. Using her throwing stars she fired off four to his neck. To Ganon they were like mosqiuto bites,annoying and painfull. He tried to dig them out with his nails but another pain filled his heart. He looked down to see Link yanking the Master Sword back out,and landing catlike onto his feet when he jumped down.

"Foolish elves,you really think you can kill me!"he screamed.

"We're hoping to" Link smiled. He felt lighter now that he didn't have those wings to slow them down. Ganon slashed his blades again. This time Link looked to where they were going and Zelda was going to get hit no matter where she moved. Link ran towards her and skidded on his boots to go in front of her,shield out.It blocked her nicely but left Link open for the attack. The blade slashed vertically across Link's abs. He grit his teeth in pain.

"Ow,that hurt you son of a bitch!"he took his shields sharp edge and threw it like a frizzbe. It got caught between a pair of ribs and when he bent over it caused even more pain. Another sword,one dark and sinister appeared in Link's other hand. Half of him looked dark,and the other half looked heroic. To combine them would result in his Oni form. That might be able to destroy him. Link brought both swords together and let both sides of him take control. His hair turned silver and blue and red markings took place on his face. His eyes went white as the two swords twirled within eachother,making the double cresent blade.

"It ends tonight Ganon"his voice was doing different pitches. He could the electical charge in the sword,both spirtual and sinister. Only together can you defeat anything.Seperate and all hope is lost. Feeling the build up he raised the dword high.

"You know Link,in the end we're all the same.We're all the demon trying to get out"Ganon smiled.

"We're all the same alright,we all die.But not everyone has a demon inside as bad as you think"and with that the blade came crashing down. It peirced through his heart and he moved no more. Link returned back to normal.

"Come on,lets get the hell out of here.This place gives me the chills"he took Zelda's hand and both ran for the door. He jumped on Epona and picked her up,and both road off to the temple of Time.

"Hang on,we hvae got to go somewhere really quick"he spoke softly. They road in silence and wound up back at the village where he had slaughtered everyone.He got down and brought the Master Sword with him. Blinking his blue eyes he stuck the blade into the soil and went to his knees and prayed.But not just any prayer,her was using his dark magic,for good.

"My goddess,awaken from your slumber and help me,I call for your forgiveness and ask of you...bring back the souls of the innocents I have slaughtered so horribly and take something fair in exchange of me"the sword thrummed with magical energy and entered him. His insides felt as though they were being set on fire,shrinking into oblivion and torn apart all at once. Long slices of cuts appeared on his arms,but he dare not make a noise to make Zelda get up.It was oh so painful and he felt as though his very power was being drained out of him. But it was only being borrowed. The entire village became alive,all nobles were restored back in their households,not remembering a thing. In the far distance of Dodge that uncanny salesman bonked his head as he sat up from underneath his stands. They were all borrowing his energy to be completely restored and forget everything that had happened. Only Link and Zelda would remember.He unplucked the sword from the ground and sheathed it. Making sure his arms were covered by his gauntlets he got up and turned towards her.

"I wonder how long it would take to rebuild that castle of yours.Who knows,maybe most of the villagers would come back".

Zelda smiled warmly at him.

"Maybe".

A few minions went to inspect Ganon's corpse with caution.

"Hello?My Lord?...he's dead!YES!" the little minions rejoiced happily and started to do a goofey dance. A large hand wrapped around the minion's throat and squeezed so tightly his eyes popped out.

"Fools!I am not dead,there is nothing that can kill me,at least that people know about.Link and Zelda may have won this time,but I'll get back at them in a way they'll never forget"Ganon smiled as he sat up.

"Ganondorf!"

"Yes my Lord?"

"Watch over them from a safe distance. Let me know when they have someone else besides themselves to share their life with".

"Yes Sir"and with that ganondorf left.No he was not dead,couldn't kill him that easily,not at all.Ganon began to laugh a deep cruel laugh that echoed throughout the chamber.
