Ocarina of Time: The Three Goddesses Reincarnated
Chapter Fourteen: Phantom Ganon"This is…roomy." Tessa murmured, looking at the spiked circled interior that they had walked into. Quite frankly, the same paintings all over the wall were starting to annoy her. "It needs my mom to come in here and demolish it, but it's…" Link shot Tessa a disapproving look, and Tessa just stuck her tongue out at him. "You know I'm right. Whoever was in here really seems to like that ugly castle painting it has repeated all over the place. I have a half a mind to burn them."
"Would you two quit fooling around?" Navi grumbled, and Tessa sighed before nodding. Link walked towards the center of the platform, and Tessa was about to grouch about how there was nothing there when there was a deep laugh that seemed to surround them. Tessa cringed from the sheer force of the laugh. Link drew his sword almost immediately.
"Hero of Time, I'm surprised you made it this far." The voice spoke, and the whole place seemed to rumble. "However, this is where your journey ends." Link and Tessa jumped when the center of the floor opened what Tessa thought was a portal of some sort, it was swirling black and dark purple, and all together looked very ominous. A jolt went up her spine as a figure began to emerge from the portal. "Phantom Ganon shall be your demise." The voice laughed again, and faded off. The figure emerged, and Link ran back to Tessa.
"We're going to have to fight him, are you ready that?" Link asked. Tessa, albeit a little bit pale, nodded. By now, Phantom Ganon had merged himself with one of the paintings, and the horse he was riding on was galloping towards one of the castles. Tessa grinned slightly, and fitted an arrow to her bow.
"This will give me an excuse to obliterate those paintings." Tessa readied her arrow, and pointed it at another painting of which the horse and rider were now heading towards them. She was ready to loose the arrow, when the horse and rider suddenly turned around, and a weird sound was heard. "What the…that's cowardly!"
"Tessa, behind you!" Link shouted, and Tessa turned around to see the horse coming fully out of the painting opposite the one Tessa had been aiming at.
"You have got to be shitting me…" Tessa gasped as the horse literally flew towards the center, and the scepter that Phantom Ganon had been holding was swung to face them, and a lightning-bolt skimmed Tessa's shoulder, and went through Link's behind her. She flinched violently, but whirled around at Link's cry. "Oh holy…"
Tessa heard galloping, and readied her bow again. He had chosen two new paintings to attack from this time. She readied her bow at one, but growled when it turned back, and the weird sound came back. She whirled around to see Phantom Ganon halfway emerged from the portal, and loosed her arrow. It struck the horse square in its chest. The horse reared with its rider clearly hanging on as tightly as he could, and backed up into the painting, and emerged into the castle again.
"Link, are you all right?" She asked, keeping an eye on all of the portraits.
"Yeah…but the feeling was reminiscent of being stung by a giant jellyfish." Link shook himself off.
"I've never had that-" Tessa whirled around and sent the arrow clean through the horse's neck this time. This time it gave an infuriated whinny and burst into purple flame. The rider jumped off of the horse, and onto the center of the ring. Tessa readied her bow, and Link his sword and shield.
"Impertinent little whelp!" Phantom Ganon shouted, and sent a lightning bolt through Tessa's shoulder. Tessa screamed, her vision seemed to have its own fireworks, all of it white, and she dropped to her knees.
"Tessa!" Link shouted, and jumped in front of her protectively. Phantom Ganon simply smirked and jumped in the air, beginning to float above Link's reach. "Damnit…" Link growled, keeping his guard up. Phantom Ganon pointed his scepter at Link, and fired another lightning blast. Thinking quickly, Link jumped to the side slightly and swung his sword at the blast. The blast bounced off of Link's sword, and headed back for Phantom Ganon. "That's not what I wanted…" Link murmured, watching the blast continue on towards the phantom. It swung its scepter and blasted it back at Link, and Link parried it again. This continued on, the lightning bolt growing faster and faster, until Link swung it one last time, and nailed Phantom Ganon in the chest.
Phantom Ganon dropped down to the ground, breathing heavily and struggling to get up. Link was quick on his feet, and jumped towards him, bringing his sword down. He struck the phantom and sent his sword plummeting through Phantom Ganon's back, and then withdrew it and cut his head clean off.
Tessa shook herself as the last of her blurry vision went away, and was able to see Phantom Ganon's head fly away from his body. 'Oh…that was disturbing…' Tessa thought, but smiled at Link all the same.
A swirling black and purple vortex appeared in the middle of the room, and Phantom Ganon was sucked into it.
"You may have one this battle, Hero, but trust me, the war isn't nearly over." The dark and creepy voice came back again, and Link simply walked back towards Tessa, trying to ignore the shivers going up his spine.
"Are you all right?" Link asked, looking at Tessa's wound. She simply grinned at him and laughed.
"Oh, this thing? I'm fine." Tessa shook her head. "Really peachy…" The swirling purple and black vortex disappeared, and a bright green light engulfed Link, whose eyes widened and he grabbed Tessa's hand.
Tessa blinked, and blinked again. She was with Link, behind him actually, and her wound was already starting to mend as light blue lights began to draw themselves towards the wound. Surrounding her was some more blue color, and some blue spotlights, along with some blue platforms with different colors on them, one had blue on it, and some weird symbols, that were most empty, save one. Standing on top of one with a green symbol on it was a small girl wearing green, an outfit similar to Link's own.
It was a green dress, with even darker green boots, and the same color headband. Her ears were also pointed, and her eyes, although closed, were probably green. Her hair was a very bright green that was cropped to just below her ears. She smiled, and opened her eyes.
'Ha! They are green!' Tessa thought in triumph. The girl simply gave her a quizzical look, before turning her attention to Link.
"Thank you for saving me, Link." She murmured, and Link's shoulders dropped. "Thanks to you, I have been awakened as a sage…" Saria smiled. "So…"
"This isn't goodbye, is it, Saria?" Link asked, his voice quiet. Tessa's eyes grew sympathetic, as she realized just whom this was.
'This is his best friend? She's so pretty…and I hope they don't have to say goodbye…' Tessa thought. Saria simply gave him a sad smile.
"I'm afraid it is, for now. I am a sage, and I have to help you in your quest to defeat Ganon, but I can't do that without the help of the other sages." Saria sighed. "That is part of your journey, to find the other four sages, and awaken them as you have done me." Saria turned her attention to Tessa again. "However, I would like to know who this is." Saria smiled kindly at Tessa, who waved slightly from behind Link's back.
"Oh…this is Tessa." Link stood slightly to the side to allow her more vision of Tessa. "She's helped me since I met her at Lon Lon Ranch, and she's not exactly from Hyrule." Saria turned frowned.
"Then where is she from?" She asked.
"From a completely different world." Tessa grinned. "This is a nice kingdom, except for the evil running rampant." Saria nodded in agreement, and in thanks.
"We are trying to figure out why Tessa is able to travel between worlds, and we reasoned that she has to have some kind of importance to Hyrule. I have no idea, and neither does she as to how this is, but so far, she's saved my life at times, and I hers."
Saria gave you one more glance, before smiling again. "I hope you are able to find what you are looking for, and I hope that you continue to aid Link on his quest."
"Personally, I want to see it to the end." Tessa smiled right back. Saria turned her attention to Link, and a flash of light appeared in her hands.
"I hope you've been practicing on your ocarina…" Saria murmured. "You can still talk to me through the song that I taught you seven years ago." The light took form of a green medallion, with the same symbol raised on it that Saria was standing on. She looked at it once, seeming a bit unsure, but then smiled and tossed it to Link, who caught it with ease. "This is a medallion, containing the powers of the forest. Keep it, it'll use itself on its own." Saria's figure started to fade, as did the surroundings. "Good luck!"
Tessa wasn't sure what to say after she was standing on the platform where she had heard those three voices. They were very odd indeed…
She shuddered, and jumped off of the platform. "All right…what now?" She looked up at Link, who blinked in confusion as to her odd reaction to the platform. 'He didn't see me pass out on it…thank goodness…'
"I guess we head back to the ranch." Link shrugged. Tessa caught the slightly saddened look in his eye, and had a good feeling about what it was about, so she just smiled at him and began to head back to the Kokiri Forest, with Navi leading the way.

XD Yeah, I know, the battle scene was brief, but there wasn't really much to write about it. I'm not good with typing up battle scenes, I just like reading them. - In any case, getting onto the next chapter! Read and Review please!
