Disclaimer: I do not own Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, However I might want to.
When they first entered the boss room it was just dark walls and blue flooring, much like a lot of the temple was. They slowly followed the path to find bombs and hearts lying everywhere. "Okay how about you stay here and toss me bombs and hearts when I need them." Kella suggested.
"How do you know you'll need bombs?" Link questioned,
"Why else would they be here?" She questioned before hopping down of the edge and landing nimbly on her feet before she ran along the path and came to a stop on a big circle in the middle. She froze as she heard a familiar chuckling fill the air and reach her ears followed by her spotting said demon lord.
"Oh, it's you." He said with a smirk on his face.
"Yep. It's me." She retorted with a smirk on her face.
"No that's not it. This is so very embarrassing but I seem to be at a loss for your name." Ghirahim said with a smirk as he placed a hand on his hip.
"I don't recall giving it." She retorted sharply.
"Not that it matters really," He continued as if she hadn't spoken at all. "Not that it matters really. To tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit frustrated right now, and I guess I just need someone to vent to." She rolled her eyes at him before figuring that what he said might be important.
"I heard my underlings had finally captured the spirit maiden, so of course I rushed over here." She gritted her teeth in anger. 'Zelda. I'm gonna have to wrap this up quickly.' She thought to herself as she reached for her sword. "What can I say, I was excited, flustered even..." She could feel the aura in the room start to change and narrowed her eyes before withdrawing her sword.
"But what did I find when I arrived? That agent of the goddess..." He placed a hand over his heart dramatically and spoke quietly. "She had once again." He whispered, causing Kella to lean forward to be able to hear. "You see what I'm trying to say is... THAT GODDESS SERVING DOG ESCAPED WITH THE GIRL!" She let out a pain filled groan as she rubbed her ears from the sudden out burst. "I MUST have the spirit maiden in order to resurrect my master. I MUST HAVE HER!" He yelled.
"Alright! I get it!" She snapped back irritably.
"...I got a little carried away there, didn't I?"
"You think!?" She snapped as she continued to rub her ears.
"I don't deal well with complications to plans I've laid out so perfectly." He explained while she glared at him. Suddenly he was gone in a swath of diamonds and she could feel his cold breath on her neck causing her to freeze and him to chuckle. "You know Sky Child...You shouldn't mock a demon lord." She narrowed her eyes before spinning around and slashing at him only for him to disappear and her to slash thin air.
"An you shouldn't try to kidnap children!" She retorted.
He laughed at her. "Something good can still come from the day. I've had all this smoldering anger inside me and now I can release it." He smirked at her. "There's someone special I'd like you to meet. Oh don't be shy! I need to release all this unhealthy anger and your anger is such a great stress reliever." He said with a smirk while she narrowed her eyes.
"Whatever makes you happy." She couldn't help saying.
"It won't take more than a few moments with my friend before you're charred to a satisfying crisp. And let me tell you, that would really put a spring in my step." He said before snapping his fingers, causing the boulder from before to crash down and try to roll her over. She rolled out of the way and watched in horror as it crashed into her way back to Link. She blinked before focusing on the boulder. It remained there in a broken pile before these firey legs appeared and it came a lit with fire.
"Oh shit." She snapped before she noticed Ghirahim sitting down on the dragon statue and watching her with a smirk on his face. She turned round and ran up the pathway as the fire boulder thing rolled towards her. Once at the top she placed as many bombs as she could fit into her bomb bag before turning round she as Scaldera's legs hit one of the bombs laying around and it rolled back. She ran after it just as it opened it's mouth and quickly threw one of her bombs inside it's mouth.
She blinked in surprise as the bomb blew up inside it's mouth and caused bits and pieces of it rock shield to fall off. Wasting no more time she quickly ran forward and slashed repeatedly at the eye before it roared back to life. She did a quick back flip before turning around and running back up the hill. She smirked before taking the opportunity to throw a bomb at Ghirahim who suddenly appeared behind her.
"You're being positively uncivil." He whispered in her ear.
"Oh yeah. Cause you're the most civil of them all." She retorted before she spun around and slashed at him. He smirked as he simply jumped back.
"Good-bye Sky Child. Stay out of my way, if you live through this. You should go back to your salvation in the sky." He teased before snapping his fingers and disappearing.
She cried out in pain as Scaldera hit her with several fireballs. She quickly grabbed a heart and stuffed it in her mouth before doing the same with three more. She quickly ran down to the bottom of the path just as Scaldera opened his mouth to suck in air. She quickly threw a bomb inside his mouth and started to slash at his eyes only for it to move suddenly under some of his rock shield. She growled in anger before she stabbed her sword right through the eye.
She quickly spun around and started to run back up the path way when it suddenly stood up and walked right over her before it rolled back down and squashed her. She groaned in pain before she was hit several times by the fireballs he through at her. She felt herself becoming weaker and weaker before she fell to the ground. She could hear the faint sound of a bottle smashing and then what sound like wings flapping and a fairy. She opened her eyes to find that she was laid on the ground with the fairy above her smiling down at her.
She smiled in thanks at her before jumping to her feet and throwing a bomb into Scaldera's mouth causing more of his shield to fall off. She ran forward and slashed away at him, again and again and again. She narrowed her eyes as he walked over her before rolling back again. But this time she was prepared. She quickly rolled out of the way before throwing another bomb into his mouth causing the rest of his armor to fall off.
She was having great difficulties slashing at his eye, because every time she would she'd miss cause it would move. She hit it a couple of times before it started to move around quickly. She screamed in frustration before she stabbed it in the eye. She dropped her now bloody sword and fell to her knees with her hands over her ears as the creature screeched in pain. Pain that she had caused. She squeezed her eyes shut until the screaming stopped and tentatively opened her eyes just in time to see it explode in a cloud of diamonds. She removed her hands from her ears and glanced to the side to see Link standing there with a worried expression on his face.
She smiled before she dusted the ashes and burn marks off of her and picked up her sword again before placing it back in it's sheath. She ran towards the golden door and slowly walked through with Link following close behind.
She looked around and was amazed that somewhere like this existed in a fiery inferno. She glanced at Link as she heard him gasp and followed his trail of sight to find Zelda and a women she didn't know standing at the top of the stairs.
"Zelda." Se breathed just loud enough for the girl to hear.
"Link! Kella!" Zelda exclaimed excitedly before she started to run down towards them only for the women to stop her.
"You cannot go to them, your Grace. Remember what we discussed. Restrain yourself. Focus on the task at hand." The women told her causing Kella to gap at Zelda in shock as she went through the beam of light. Kella started to run after her with Link but froze when the women turned to glare at her with such fury it could have frozen all the lava in this region.
"It took you far too long to get here. Looking upon you I fear that the goddess is mistaken in her choice of agents." Kella gritted her teeth in anger and clenched her hands into fists. "If this failure is any indication, you have no hope of protecting her grace from those who seek to assail her." She said coldly before narrowing her eyes at her as Link took a step back from the heavy blow the words left him with.
"Do my words anger you, child? Do they sting? Let them. If I had not come when I did your precious Zelda would have already fallen into the hands of the enemy." She said, her eyes and voice cold while Kella clenched her jaw together in anger as she bawled her hands into fists and resisted the urge to attack her head on.
"You have no way of knowing that!" She snapped in anger while the women in front of her snorted.
"The truth of it is, you were late. You were late, and you failed to protect her." Kella was shocked. How could she have been late? She had moved through Eldin Volcano as quickly as possible. "I have sent Zelda ahead to learn more about the fate in which she is destined to play a part of. Listen well, Chosen one." Kella narrowed her eyes but said nothing.
"If you wish to be of help to her grace, you must summon a shred of courage and face the trials laid out before you." Kella gaped at her.
"A shred of courage!? A shred of courage!? I've just-" She broke off as the women glared at her with a murderous look in her eyes.
"Only after you have conquered these trials will you be of use to Zelda. No sooner. Am I understood?" Kella growled at her before nodding slightly.
Impa gave her one last wavering look before quickly turning around and disappearing in the beam of light. Kella let out a scream of anger and unsheathed her sword before she started to slash away at the stone in front of her.
She took a deep breath to calm herself before slowly walking up to the emblem and striking it with a Skyward Strike.
"Mistress I have a message written by the gods of old. Allow me to translate for you." Fi said as she came out of the sword and started to ice skate around her as she spoke.
"From the edge of time I guide you. The one destined to carry out the goddess' mission. The spirit maiden who descended from the clouds has passed through the earth spring and makes her way to a fated place." Kella watched in amazement as Fi twirled over to her where she came to a stop and started to spin repeatedly on one foot like a ballerina.
"The parched desert of Lanayru...That is where the chosen will pass through the Gate of Time into a distant world." Fi sped over so that she was standing on the water behind her. Suddenly a amber colored tablet came out of the statue of the Goddess of Power, Din's hands and flew into her own. The service of it felt very old. She carefully pocketed it and gasped as she suddenly saw Link and Zelda in the distance, a memory of them both turning towards her when she was seventeen and they were fifteen, of them wishing her good luck on the wing ceremony that year.
She closed her eyes and let a small smile grace her features before she slowly turned back towards Fi. "Mistress Kella. It appears Zelda has cleansed herself in the waters of this fountain. Based on the information I just imparted, I project that she is headed to a region known as Lanayru. If you transport the tablet back to the statue in Skyloft, A new column of light will appear that will allow you to travel to the Lanayru region. I suggest you travel at once back to Skyloft and then set out for the Lanayru region." Fi advised before disappearing back into her sword.
Kella nodded before she found herself and link outside of the temple. Not even wasting time to see if he was ready she pulled out her sailcloth and allowed the wind to lift her up into the sky.
