Not Holding Back
Scanning the room he was currently in his senses heightened significantly, by the scent of fresh blood and the sound of footsteps outside he started making countless calculations, possibility checks and time counts as he was commanded, he figured after much thought on such a short time that they would arrive in about eight more minutes, giving him enough time to prepare an attack before they even thought about stepping foot on the room.
He slowly paced across the long hallway connecting his room to another, orders said he was to kill them all, not that he needed orders, he worked on purely instincts, telling him now what he needed to do, snapping his fingers he commanded two dark knights to the halls, their impenetrable slim armor telling him they were enough of a stall for the moment, he was told not to rush into things, to which he glared at his master.
Anticipation flaring in his blood he walked to the next room and crossed to the left, walking the long flight of stairs to the throne room, the only room fit to a battle of his statue, he reached the last flight of stairs and walked across it to the throne, slumping on it disgracefully and placing his arm on the armrest and a hand under his chin, he didn't even bother to look at the man to his left who was admiring the view from a window.
"Have you done what I asked?" he didn't answer thinking it wasn't worth wasting time on words, Ganondorf frowned "Answer me" he commanded, dark energy flowing about the room.
He didn't even flinch, though he did form an answer "I am your servant for what power you stole, do not expect me to respect something stolen"
Ganondorf gripped his fist and walked towards him, grabbing his neck tightly he lifted him from the throne "You respect me you servant, true power or not I am still your master and controller of darkness" Ganondorf growled in a low voice.
His captive didn't even move to ease the grip on his neck, naturally feeling no pain from such a weak grip "I have done enough for you to show gratification, if you are not pleased then you might as well do it yourself"
Ganondorf's grip tightened, to what his victim did seem to flinch slightly this time "I underestimated you, under darkness you are just as a nuisance"
"I do not seek material possessions, I seek what my instincts command and that is blood, perhaps I have surpassed the lord of darkness himself in what he truly had thought to own" though he gave no trace of it, Ganondorf knew he was mocking him, throwing him harshly to the floor he twisted his hand, darkness entering the youth's body and making him twist in pain, his breath shorted and his nerves burned, when satisfaction had grazed Ganondorf's features he let his grip loosen.
"Remember who your master is" his voice thundered, he walked to the throne and sat down "Kneel" he ordered, the youth lifted his body up with difficulty, he cringed before looking at the Evil King.
"I know who my master is, I obey him and I understand my position, but that doesn't mean I am also entitled to respect him" he deadpanned.
Ganondorf smirked, "You insolent mindless puppet, I will be overjoyed of your misery when you realize what you are about to commit" he waved a hand dismissively "Leave until they have reached us", the man in front of him bowed somewhat disgracefully and left the throne room at command.

"We are getting closer!" Announced Zelda as they battled another handful of armored lizards, Malon let yet another yelp of surprise as one ran up to her, quickly grabbing the bow she closed her eyes right before firing, hitting the lizard in the right eye.
Tetra looked at her "Hey! Don't close your eyes when you fire! You might kill someone innocent!" Malon nodded nervously and followed the crew as they reached a higher level, arriving at a room with a hallway that connected to another room on the far end.
As they walked to the hallway their steps were cut short by two dark knights, red eyes glaring down at them, gracefully pulling out their heavy swords they took a battling stance, Zelda took out a slim sword kept on her waist and presented it to the knights, but her arm was quickly forced down by Tetra "What are you doing?"
Zelda looked with determination into Tetra's eyes "Link is just beyond these knights, I can feel it, if battle is what we must give to pass then battle we will"
Tetra grabbed her shoulders "Is killing yourself right before we get to him something we must give as well?"
"Leave them to me" everyone turned to RK who was perched on the windowsill beside them.
Malon looked at her "I thought you couldn't battle"
"I can't battle living skeletons, but this is easy enough, you go on, I will follow you after" feet on the ground she made her way past her friends and in front of the guards "Shall we play?" she grinned extending an inviting hand to the knights, their swords falling down on her and missing her by far, she stood on top of the swords, both legs pushing them to the ground "Move before they manage to lift the swords" she said calmly, against a few complaints they quickly moved past the guards, leaving RK alone, "So…" she tilted her head to the side as both the swords lifted her up "Can you give me my energy back?"

Zelda pressed the giant doors to the throne room, the room becoming darker instantly, bright yellow eyes glaring at them from beyond the darkness, "Ganondorf!" Tetra exclaimed.
Yellow eyes glaring deeper "He is not here"
Zelda gasped and looked at the man covered in darkness, she knew that voice "Link?" Malon was able to voice.
The man stood up from the throne and walked towards them, "Not anymore" he drew his sword, a crimson dark blade that matched the aura around him.
"Link, wake up" Tetra said sternly, eyes filled with defiance towards his cold threatening ones.
"Not this time" in one swift move he turned his sword and hit Malon hard with the hilt of his blade, she fell and was quickly caught by one of the pirates, everyone turned to their defensive stances.
"Why did you do that!?" Tetra yelled at him, her anger flaring up, she pulled out her sword, convinced now that he wasn't going to wake up this time.
Link merely looked at her in slight amusement "She is not up to my fighting standards, she will only end up like that mere seconds after we started, I figured I'd save me the trouble" he commented, switching the sword so the blade was facing her, she glared deeper at him.
"Link, this is illogical, we can't fight you" Zelda begged, hoping that her reasoning would reach his better judgment, he turned to look at her with the same amused look, he moved too quickly to be noticed behind a pirate and with one flick of his wrist he slashed his neck, blood quickly pouring as the pirate fell down defeated, Zelda and Tetra watched in horror.
"Do not expect instincts to reason, fight now or die quickly" his voice lowered, pirates angered readied their swords but Tetra placed a hand in front of them.
"He is no match for any of you, take Malon and leave this place"
"Captain-"
"DO IT!" she commanded, tears threatening to flow down her cheeks, they nodded and quickly exited the room.
Tetra turned to Link, sword raised at him "You will wake up, even if I must slash you within an inch of your life" Zelda also raised her sword, unbelieving of who she was about to battle, without another word Link aimed for Tetra's ribs, blocking with difficulty she moved backwards, watching his moves and blocking whenever he struck, she turned offensive and tried a few moves of her own, growling as Link found it very easy to block her, Zelda prayed to the sages, hoping that they would share their light with her sword, as the blade shone brightly she took a defensive stance, watching as Link managed to land a hard blow on Tetra's side, making her fall to her knees holding her ribs.
He turned to Zelda, yellow eyes shining threateningly, he moved to her, their blades crashing, the light of her sword growing brighter as his own consumed the light with its darkness, he moved to slash her but she skillfully blocked, determined to put a stop to him, he suddenly rolled to the side, catching her off guard as he used the hilt to hit her back, she painfully stumbled down but maintained balance, Link walked in front of her and waited for her to recover, she looked up "Why haven't you…"
"What good would it serve me to kill you when you're backing off? I want you to fight seriously, until you do I will keep playing with the both of you as you are playing with me" he swung his sword in circles with his hand as he slowly circled Zelda, Zelda making sure she wasn't giving him her back.
"How can you ask me to battle a friend" she said barely without a whisper, holding back her anxiety from her voice.
Link stopped in place and looked at her "You're not battling a friend…" Tetra said, slowly lifting herself up from the floor.
Link resumed his walking "Shall we start then?" he threw his blade at Tetra, slashing her arm and making the blade plunge into the wall, he then backed away and pulled out his bow and arrow, firing them swiftly at Zelda who avoided them without trouble, Tetra used her other arm to grab a bomb in her pocket, pulling the cord with her teeth and making it ignite, she then threw the bomb at the ceiling just above Link, debris distracting him for a second before a golden arrow passed right beside his face, the light emitting from it cutting his cheek slightly.
Stunned for a second he looked at the source, the arrow coming from Zelda, he frowned "Still playing" he muttered, he ran towards his sword and with one swift move he pulled it easily from the wall, blocking a blow delivered by Tetra mere seconds before, angered he turned his blade so the sharp edge of his sword was facing her ribs, he lunged his attack but was blocked by Zelda's blade, their eyes connected "Why do you insist on backing off?"
"Because this is exactly what Ganondorf desires, for you to die by my hands or for me to perish by yours, how can you be so blind?"
He scoffed "I do not care what that weakling desires, you will not defeat me and after this battle is done I will hunt him down as well" he broke the pressure between blades and avoided a head blow from Tetra's knife, jumping a few feet away he glared "Your yielding will prove useless"
"We will get you back Link, mark my words" said Tetra as she jumped, trying to land a blow on his head.
He looked up "So weak" he turned around and held his fist in his hand, landing a hard hit with his elbow on Tetra's chest before her blade managed to hit him, she flew a few feet away from the pressure of the blow and landed harshly on the floor, gasping for breath as she struggled to stand up, unable to do so.
Link walked calmly to Zelda, knowing this battle was now between the two of them, Zelda held in her defensive stance, glancing slightly at Tetra to see if she was still conscious, she looked back at the heartless yellow eyes that approached her, dark sword in hand leaving a hue of dark smoke, Zelda clutched her own shining blade, unable to decide between letting him live or otherwise "Fight, for I will not back off any longer"
He launched himself at her, blade raised, she defended herself from the attack having difficulty pushing him off, he began slashing at her harder, making her start to lose balance and strength on her push, she changed her strategy and move to the offensive, letting her blade slip from his and trying to slash his neck, only managing to cut a few hairs off his head as he moved away from her attack, she turned before he could slash her back and blocked once more, sliding her blade again and managing to force him to use his hand to block her blade, gloved dark leather burning slightly from the light, he let it go and gripped his own blade, using a spin attack to catch her off guard and knock her down, making her blade slip from her hand and slide a few centimeters away, she moved to grab it but was stopped by his hand, her legs bound by his knees and neck threatened to be penetrated by the tip of his own blade, she looked up in fear at his own eyes "Link… Please you have to reconsider what you're doing" she begged, her voice nothing but a whisper.
His eyes showed no emotion as he slowly raised the blade upwards, his voice void of any feeling "Goodbye my princess"
