Ocarina of Time: The Three Goddesses Reincarnated

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Koume, Kotake, and Twinrova.

Tessa looked around the room, a bit surprised at it. She had expected some sort of arena where they had to fight the giant stereotypical monster in, but instead it was just a regular room, with a bunch of pillars in the middle of it. In front of them, to a suit of armor, was a red carpet that led all of the way through it, to where Tessa suspected there was a door. However, Tessa didn't get the whole suit of armor thing,. The Gerudo didn't really seem to be that kind of a culture…

"Well…maybe we just go through here?" Link shrugged. "Maybe the monster is a bit more elaborate in taste or something."

Tessa looked at him skeptically, but continued forward with him. Within five feet of the suit of armor, a noise was heard. Then, the armor raised the ax in its hand and brought it down. Tessa tackled Link out of the way of the blow with a short scream. They rolled, and hit against one of the pillars. "That explains the armor I guess." Tessa muttered to herself. Link nodded, and stood up. The suit of armor grunted as it took its ax out of the ground and started to slowly head towards them. A shiver ran through Tessa's spine as she looked at the deep indentation the ax had left in the floor. "That can't be very good."

She ran out of the way, and Link did the same to buy himself time as he thought out a strategy. Tessa drew out her bow and arrow, and Link did the same with his weapons. "That armor is about as heavy as it can get, and that ax will about kill me if I head in recklessly." Link growled to Tessa, who nodded. "So, I have no ideas, you?"

Tessa shook her head, and stared at the armor as it advanced slowly. As it got closer, Tessa and Link started to back up, to keep out of range of it's weapon. Then, Tessa blinked as an idea hit her. So, while Link backed up, she stayed where she was and watched as the armor raised its ax again.

"Tessa!" Link shouted. Tessa didn't even reply, and instead dodged out of the way as it brought it down, but this time made a point to land on her feet and whirl around to see her enemy. The ax was wedged deeply into the ground, and the armor had to use both hands to lift it out. Link saw this, and jumped to cut some of the armor loose from the enemy. However, the ax came back out and the armor turned around to face Link, who backed away as it swung sideways. "That's a good strategy, Tessa. Let me do it." Link ordered, and Tessa nodded. She'd rather stay out of the way of the ax in all out honesty.

After he backed up just a bit, he stopped. His muscles were tensed to prepare to leap away. This time, when the ax was about to bring itself down Link did a back flip, waited a split second for the ax to hit the floor safely, and he jumped on the suit of armor. He had about all of the armor off, and all that was left was chain mail. This time when the opponent swung his ax out of the floor, it swung wildly to the side and sent one of the pillars crumbling to pieces. Tessa gulped, and Link jumped away as he realized that his enemy was much quicker now that all of that heavy armor was off.

"Shit." Link growled, and prepared his stance for a new strategy. Tessa scrambled off to a corner to stay out of the way of the opponent. It didn't seem to matter, its attention was completely fixed on Link anyway. Link noticed that now it could move its arms, it swung faster, and more frantically. Without its armor it became more nervous.

Then, a fire arrow slammed into it at full force in the back. Link looked astonished at Tessa, who was grinning triumphantly. The armor seemed to let out a high-pitched scream before the links to the chain mail fell, and the figure underneath the armor was revealed. Link gasped, and Tessa looked highly confused.

"Nabooru?" Link asked, stunned to see the Gerudo Queen after what he had seen Koume and Kotake do to her. Tessa ran to Link's side, and saw her eyes. At first one was completely fire-red and the other an icy-blue, and then they turned to their normal color, which was a deep brown, and then she collapsed on the floor, breathing hard.

Tessa kneeled down, and put her hand on her shoulder. "Are you Nabooru?" She asked, her voice somewhat soft, but loud enough for Nabooru to hear her in the state. Nabooru nodded. "What happened to you?"

Nabooru looked into Tessa's eyes and opened her mouth to answer, but was interrupted by a horrible cackling. Tessa and Link looked up to see two tiny, green, shriveled up-looking witches flying on broomsticks. They were classic.

"You have failed us, Nabooru." One of them cackled. "Do you know what we do to those who fail us?"

Nabooru's eyes widened as she whirled around to face the tiny witches. Tessa backed up a little bit.

"She doesn't seem to know, Koume." The other witch screeched with enjoyment. "Maybe we should demonstrate."

"That's a great idea, Kotake." Koume grinned, and then they both raised their hands. Only a bit of energy gathered up in their hands when Nabooru stood up and began to run as quickly as she could towards the door that Tessa and Link had come through. Link and Tessa were about to follow her, when the energy was thrown at Nabooru, and she was blasted into oblivion, with no trace that she had ever been there. Tessa turned pale, and sunk to the ground. That sight was almost too much for her to bear…

Link didn't take the time to dwell on it, but whirled on Koume and Kotake, who simply began to laugh again and disappeared in a short whirl of energy. He growled and whirled around to stare at where Nabooru had last been, and then saw Tessa shaking on the ground. He could tell almost immediately that the sight had been too much for her to take in. She was so pale she looked to be almost dead, and her shivering was so bad he thought she would fall to pieces if she moved much more.

"Tessa…" Link sighed, and bent down. He crawled over to see Tessa's face as tears streamed down it. "We have to put that out of our minds. For now, we have to defeat Koume and Kotake, and free the sage…though I think we just found out who it was."

"That was horrible…" Tessa murmured, her eyes looking through his, not into them. "How…"

"Tessa!" Link demanded, and grabbed her shoulders. "Snap out of it!" He shouted, and began to shake her. "You have to help me with this battle! To avenge Nabooru!"

Slowly but surely, she began to snap out of that trance-like state and her eyes focused until they were looking into his eyes, their chocolate color filled with despair.

"Tessa…" Link murmured, and he hugged her. "I know it's sad, but we have to continue on."

Tessa nodded, and hugged him back. Then, they let go and Tessa wiped the tears off her face. She stood up, and Link did as well. He led the way to the door after another worried glance at Tessa, and pushed it open. As they went through, a giant square platform came to view, and a ladder that led up to it was also evident. Four more platforms surrounded it, but they were smaller in perimeter.

Link sighed, and climbed up the ladder. Tessa hesitated, but then followed suit. Thoughts ran through her mind over what those two could do to Link, if they had even worse magic…

What if he was sent away like Nabooru was?

Tessa shook her head, and forced herself not to think about it. Instead, Tessa continued up to the top of the platform with a firm set of determination on her face. She would help stop these sisters at all costs.

When she got to the top, Link was already conversing with the two witches, but it definitely wasn't friendly chatter.

"You impudent little brat!" Koume screeched. "We'll teach you a lesson for this!" With that, she swung her fire staff towards him, and it shot out a blast of fire. Tessa jumped in front of Link and absorbed the fire into her hands, and shot it back at Koume. Koume simply caught it, and hurled it at Tessa. Once again, Tessa caught it, but this time whirled on Kotake and blasted the fire towards her. Kotake shrieked in pain and went tumbling down to the ground, where Link jumped on her and slashed at her multiple times with the Master Sword. Kotake pushed him away from her with a blast of wind and zoomed back into the air.

Link took a moment to glance, shocked, at Tessa. She didn't even flinch at the sight of fire, and even used it against the enemy. There was something that Tessa wasn't telling him, but he wouldn't think about it now. That would be a question for later. For now he would concentrate on the battle at hand.

Kotake hissed at the both of them, and hurled ice at Link and Tessa. Tessa grabbed Link's hand and pulled him out of the range of the blast. Link looked at her confused. He had expected Tessa to do the same against Kotake's wave of attack.

"Sorry, ice isn't my element." Tessa sighed. "That would be Korinu." Tessa grumbled, and Link looked even more confused. Tessa then pulled him out of the way of another ice wave. Tessa then frowned. "I don't know what to do…"

"Neither to I." Link grumbled. This time, he blocked the ice blast with his shield, and he could feel the cold rip right through the shield, but chose to ignore it.

Tessa blinked, and then blinked again. Then, when the ice blast was finished she grabbed the ice-cold shield, and her eyes turned a bright red all over. Link wondered if the same had happened when Tessa handled the fire earlier.

Then, his sword glowed white, and it was soon in a different form. The red in Tessa's eyes disappeared, and then she ducked behind Link as another ice blast was thrown at Link and Tessa. Link used his shield, but this time it reflected the blast back at Kotake.

"Angle your shield so the blast hits Koume, the ice won't affect Kotake." Tessa ordered, and Link complied. With that Koume went down and Link pounced on her with the sword. When Koume freed herself, her and Kotake met together in the air.

"God damn it, we have to switch to the other form." Koume snarled at Kotake, who snarled right back. Then, they glowed their respective colors and joined. Then they turned purple as their form grew to be much taller than either Link or Tessa, and the two rods did as well. When the light faded, a green Gerudo formed.

"This must be their true form…" Link gasped. "She's…"

"Hideous." Tessa twitched. "It's one thing when you're an old lady, you can't help yourself. But goddesses if they're trying to be sexy they're doing a horrible job!"

"What did you say you impudent little brat?!" The figure shouted. "I, Twinrova, will make sure that you don't have a tongue to speak such words about us."

Tessa raised her eyebrows at Twinrova. "First of all, you're referring to yourself in third person, and I can't help but think of Sesshoumaru. Second of all, even if you cut my tongue off, that won't stop the rest of the world."

"You bitch!" Twinrova screeched, and angled both of her power staffs at Tessa. Tessa gasped and switched places with Link. He raised his shield, and Tessa raised her hands as the blast hit them. Tessa caught fire and Link caught ice. The link automatically angled the blast at Twinrova, but Tessa had to push the fire back consciously. When both blasts hit her, she went down with heavy breathing. Link jumped to the platform that she was on and stabbed her completely through with the Master Sword. She let out a horrible screech.

Then, she looked at Tessa, her eyes red and blue with rage. "You…shall…pay…" And then, from her eyes a blast of something else was hurled at Tessa. Tessa tried to stop it, but pain coursed through her body instead. Link didn't watch as Twinrova died. Instead, he jumped to Tessa.

He called her name, but she was screaming so loud that he couldn't even hear himself. Normally he would have covered his ears, but he was more alarmed than anything. Tessa then slumped to the ground. Link wrapped his arms around her, and waited for anything. She wasn't even breathing. Tears sprung forward from his eyes, and he clung tightly to her.

Then, a sharp gasp came from Tessa. "Link…" Tessa grumbled. "What happened?"

"I don't know, Twinrova sent a weird blast towards you. I thought you were dead." Link looked into Tessa's eyes, and she gasped at the sight of the tears that had rolled down his cheeks.

"I don't feel anything…maybe it's because of who I am…" Tessa murmured that last part to herself.

Then, Link hugged her again as they were surrounded by the familiar blue light.

End of Chappie

Sorry, but I've been really busy. Really, really sorry. Good news, my original computer is back! The bad news is the internet is just as sucky as it was before it crashed…oh well. I'm actually really proud of this chapter, it was fun to write. The only reason I don't like to fight Twinrova in my own house is because there is no music for that battle and it creeps me out. Does anybody have the same problem?
