Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Heroes

by B.E.A.T.N

My first LOZ story. Link must go on a quest to save Princess Zelda and his sister Aryll from Lord Ganonorf. On his quest, he'll be accompanied by his wolf Flynn, his fiance Malon, his horse Epona, and will meet a goron, zora, gerudo, (my own characters), as well as Navi and Skull Kid. All of them will help Link on his journey. Has elements of Link x Malon. Rated T for language.

17. The Wind Mage

Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Heroes

Chapter 17: The Wind Mage

Link, Navi and Malon inched their way into the Fortress slowly, keeping watch on everything that surrounded them.

The castle seemed empty without most of its forces. It made the couple a little on edge as they continued forward.

As they approached a large room. It had a large staircase at the other end, and was very similar to a ballroom. Within a few seconds, they started to hear a faint humming noise.

Link whispered, "you hear that too, right?"

Malon, "yeah. Sounds like someone else is here…."

Link, "I've got a pretty good feeling who."

They all entered the large room. It was much brighter than the halls they'd passed through.

As soon as they got to the center of the room, the humming stopped. Link and Malon both raised their weapons, and moved back to back.

Navi floated above them slowly, listening for any sound at all.

Suddenly, at the top of the stairs, a large cloud of purple smoke began to materialize.

Link and Malon turned to face the smoke, with Navi hiding behind Links hat.

The smoke continued to bellow for a couple of seconds, giving the room a very fiery smell.

The smoke then began to dissipate, revealing a cloaked figure with glowing red eyes.

He spoke, "well done Heroes! As your friends deal with our forces, they send the most powerful to fight me…. Brave, but foolish."

Link, "You're Vaati! The Wind Mage!"

Vaati, "you are very much correct boy. I am Vaati! The Wind Mage! One of the trusted few to lead Ganon's forces! I've been around for a very long time…."

Malon, "funny, you're awfully tall for a Minish!"

Link held back a snicker as Vaati glared at her.

Vaati, "charming. We should've captured you as well, you and the Princess would've been a comedic duo for Lord Ganondorf!"

Link stepped forward, "where is my sister!? And Zelda!?"

Vaati, "in the throne room. A joyful reminder for Ganondorf once you all fail to stop us."

Link, "over my dead body!"

Navi, "I'm pretty sure that's the idea Link!"

Vaati began to chuckle at the fear Navi held.

Vaati, "well, how shall we do this?"

Malon, "we stab you and move on?"

Vaati, "again, I'm sure you'd fit in with the Princess. And I'll let you all know, I'm very excited to have a group of opponents. I've not been able to use my true power in many a thousand years!"

Link, "show us then!"

Vaati smiled creepily, "if you insist boy…."

Vaati held out his arms to his side as a purple aura began to engulf him. His eyes seemed to glow brighter, and with that, his size grew! Vaati grew taller as purple smoke enveloped him from his sides. Suddenly his eyes merged into one large one.

As he transformed, he continued to speak.

Vaati, "after so many years, my true form has altered itself for my increased strength!"

Vaati's arms suddenly leaped off of his body, taking a metallic shine as his fingers grew into talons. He started to hover a foot in the air as his muscles increased.

After a minute long transformation, Vaati was in his new from. Large muscular torso with disembodied metallic arms, one large red eye on his face, and smoke that followed him as he hovered in the air.

Link, Malon and Navi stood there dumbfounded.

Vaati shouted, "say something you fools!"

Malon, "weirdest thing I've seen this entire adventure…."

Link, "and keep in mind, we've talked to a tree!"

Navi, "and our wolf!"

Vaati yelled in rage as he launched his arm at them. It extended and smashed into the ground, nearly hitting the heroes.

Link yelled to Malon, "run as fast as you can! I'll flank his right, you take the left!"

Malon, "right!"

As they started to run, Navi flew closer to Vaatis face. She blew a raspberry at the mage, distracting him as he waved around at her.

Vaati, "get over here you little bitch!"

Navi, "big talk for someone who didn't grow downstairs!"

Vaati was about to retort angrily, when Link appeared to his right.

Link, "got a weapon to fight with?"

Vaati grinned smugly, and suddenly morphed his left hand into a blade. It reached half of Links height.

Vaati suddenly sent his blade forward, almost slicing the young man in two. Luckily, Link raised his sword at just the right time, blocking the strike to his body.

The two exchanged blow after blow with their swords, sending sparks flying. They went down the stairs while doing so, and soon were caught in the middle of the room.

Malon kept her distance with Navi behind her.

Malon whispered to Navi, "I'm gonna try to strike him, you get his attention."

Navi, "right!"

Navi flew into the middle of the room, way high up above the clashing foes.

Malon prepared to jump and strike as Navi yelled.

"HEY LOOK! ZELDA HAS ESCAPED, AND IS NAKED!"

Vaati turned around, "what, really!?"

Malon cam down, slicing into the mages ear.

He reeled back for a moment as Malon spoke.

"Creepy dumbass!"

Malon ran forward, as Link ran as well. Both of them on other sides of the mage. Vaati quickly swallowed the pain and morphed his other hand into a blade, swiping down to clash with Malon's weapon.

The battle was on between the three of them.

Malon and Links weapons caused sparks yo fly as they clashed with Vaatis blades!

Navi continued to fly into the air as they fought.

But she suddenly heard a loud bang from the hallways. Along with a bunch of yelling and laughing.

She flew down to the doorway she and the other two had entered, and witnessed her remaining cohorts running towards her, covered in Moblin blood! Chuko was even holding a decapitated head as he ran, seemingly not sure what to do with it.

As they entered and witnessed Link and Malon's fight with Vaati, Jo-Ann was the first to ask a question.

Jo-Ann, "the Hell is going on?"

Navi, "how'd you guys kill all of those Moblins so fast?"

Shin, "is been twelve minuts! How ya noot notice?"

Navi, "probably because of the fight going on right now!"

Jo-Ann, "can you please answer my frigging question!?"

Navi, "oh, right! Link and Malon are locked in a duel with Vaati, the Wind Mage!"

Chuko, "he looks much different than I thought he would."

Navi, "he transformed!"

Shin, "what we do?"

Navi, "I don't know!"

Link yelled back to his companions, "anything would help at this point guys!"

Vaati, "it won't matter!"

Malon, "pipe down freakshow!"

Just then, Navi noticed something.

Navi, "where's Skull?"

They all suddenly heard a loud laugh come from behind them.

Even the heroes and villain took a second to stop and look into the hallway.

Suddenly, Flynn leapt into the air with Skull on his back. They had leapt into the air, and were headed right towards Vaati's face.

Skull, "HEY THERE JACKASS!"

Skull leaped off of Flynn right as the wolf bit into Vaati's eye!

The Wind Mage screamed in agony as Flynn held on with his teeth embedded into the large organ.

Vaati, "GeT oFf Of Me YoU fIlThY mUtT!"

His screaming sounded more distorted as even his body was beginning to shift from his previous form to the one he currently had.

Link and Malon stopped back next to their companions as Flynn held on.

Suddenly, Link thought if something. He ran forward towards the display, yelling a command at Flynn.

Link, "Flynn! Drop down boy!"

Flynn proceeded to drop down, giving the Wind Mage only a second to try to see what was happening.

Vaati, "WhErE aRe YoU, yOu FiLtHy MuTt!? AnD wHeRe ArE yOu BoY!?"

As soon as Vaati felt his eyesight return to him with his fast healing, it was soon extinguished once more. For Link had embedded his sword through Vaati's eye.

The Wind Mage lost all life within an instant. The dying Minish slumped off of Link's sword slowly as his body started to turn to his normal form.

As Vaati lay on the ground, he snickered weakly.

His eyes split apart to show one stabbed, while the other was fine.

Vaati, "well played heroes…. Well played…."

Malon, "is he dying?"

Vaati, "sweet, naive…. Farm girl…. No…. I'm simply putting my body…. Into a sleep…."

His feet began to turn gray and crackle, as they slowly turned to stone.

Vaati, "through many…. Of my quarrels…. With you…. I've done this…. To help in my quest…. To be able to best you…."

Link, "ya know, this doesn't have to happen next time you come back."

Vaati, "ah…. But it must…. I'm never gonna give up…. Not until I gain some form of victory…."

Skull, "good luck pal."

Vaati slowly snickered as his body quickly encased itself into stone. The snickering stopped after a couple more seconds, showing that the Wind Mage was now a statue.

Everyone stepped forward to look down at the grinning statue.

Chuko, "w-what do we do with it?"

Skull, "we could smash it!"

Link, "No! We'll leave the bastard here to collect dust."

Malon, "seems logical. And who knows, May be he'll crumble to dust before he wakes up?"

Everyone nodded at one another, all seemingly in agreement.

Link and his group then proceeded to all turn towards the top of the stairs, and began to walk up them, preparing their senses for their next battle….

I hope you guys are ready for what comes next! Also, i hope you guys caught the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 joke I put in when Skull attacked Vaati.

Also, please note that I'm currently holding another poll to decide on what my next story will most likely be.
