((A/N: I was going to upload this earlier... but the site was messed up so I forgot. Anyways, here we go! Second to last chapter! R&R))
The doors of the Palace blew open, and dozens of Twili ran in. Of the group, Link and Valah ran in as well. "I know my way through here. So, just follow me carefully, alright?" Link said. Valah nodded, wondering how a human knew the way through here. He did not know of his journey with Midna.
Liena's soldiers ran out and began attacking various men. Link just plowed right through them. Valah shot some archers off in balconies and such.
Link came to a door and opened it slowly. They were outside on the balcony, that Liena had given her speech upon. There were no enemies up here, so Link and Valah took a little break. There were two doorways, which he anticipated. Link walked over to the other door, but it was locked.
"Need a key..." Link said. Valah walked over near him and kicked the door down.
"No we don't," said Valah, who walked in casually. Inside the room, there were many elevators powered by the sols. They ran up near one and they all stopped working. Many enemies appeared out of nowhere, pointing their crossbows at them. They circled around the two.
Valah mumbled, "Cloaking devices..."
"Don't worry, I have something that will work... I hope..." Link said, "Valah, when I say to, jump!" Valah nodded and Link began charging his sword. "Jump!" As Valah jumped, Link spun around with a strange aura around his sword. It enlarged through the area, killing many of the guards. About 4 or so remained, but they fled. The elevators began to work again. They stepped on the elevators and it took them to the top floor.
Link and Valah ran up the stairs and entered a room. Link said, "We're almost at the Throne room. We just have to go through here and then we'll be there." Valah nodded and they both took a step until they heard some laughter.
"What's that?" Valah asked. And soon enough, his question was answered.
Lights shined all around and suddenly they all heard, "Very pleasant good evening, ladies and gentlemen… It is now time… The one and only… There never will be another… Princess Liena!"
And out of nowhere, Link and Valah saw Liena appear. She laughed again and said, "Now that's how the title should sound."
"Liena!" Link said. Valah said nothing.
"Ooh, if it isn't Midna's little boyfriend. You know, I was the one who sent her to you. Shouldn't you be grateful?" Liena said in a snotty tone. She giggled, and said, "It doesn't matter now. Her execution is being held soon. Of course, you could always bear witness to it."
"Liena! Stop it!"
"Stopping is one thing I cannot do, I'm afraid..." Liena said, rising. Her eyes were glowing, one was yellow and the other was red. Her voice began to deepen. "Our plan to take over the two realms will not be stopped by the likes of you." Liena's arms ripped off and so did her legs. connecting to them were some sort of fat tissue. Her head ripped off and her body exploded, as did the arms and legs, showing four rather large tentacles and a body which had a large set of teeth. The olive green monster crept closer and said, "Bow to your queen!"
One of her tentacles slammed down onto Valah, and he was too late to dodge it. He was hit straight on. "Valah!" Link said, running towards him. He was covered in blood. When he was hit, his neck snapped. "Valah... No..."
"Outsider, you will die now!" the head of Liena said, still connected to the rather large body. Another tentacle slammed down to hit Link, however he jumped out of the way, and then shot a bomb arrow at the tentacle. The thing screamed out in anger. Link took this opportunity to run up the tentacle and as it got near the head, another tentacle grabbed him, and began squeezing him.
It laughed, and then said, "I think you'll make for a very delicious dinner!" It threw Link inside of it's mouth.
Seconds later, explosions occurred inside. It screamed, and then out from the mouth came large deposits of vomit and blood. Link got up, covered in this nasty substance, and said, "Liena... You'll pay. Not only for the death of Valah, but for betraying Midna."
"You infidel! You will die, now..." Liena's head said, as the four tentacles came close to each other. It charged up some sort of lightning, and shot it at Link. Link flew back to the wall, a huge burn mark through his armor on his chest, but he was alright. For now.
He got up and began rubbing his burn and then looked up at its head. "You're no match for the Hero," Link said, readying another bomb arrow. In fact, he readied four of them. As the tentacles grew close to each other again, Link shot each one. Liena cried out in pain. Link used his clawshot to grapple closely to Liena's head.
"No, you'll die," Link said, as he cut the thin flesh between the huge body and her head. Her head flew down to the floor, and as Link watched it splatter on the floor, he sighed. The body began to shake. It started to fall down, and Link had to run off. When he was near the ground, he jumped off, and got away safely.
He walked over near Valah's dead body and said to it, "Valah... I'll be back. I have to save the princess... The true princess..." Link turned around and immediately a tentacle smacked him into the wall. His sword flew all the way near Valah. It held him tightly, constricting him.
Liena's head floated down to him and said, "Do you think you'll defeat me? You are mistaken."
Link was gasping for breaths. He had to grab his sword, but it was too far now.
"You will die now and meet with your beloved princess in the afterlife!" Liena said, laughing. Link watched the head's movement. Finally, Link got one arm free, and he was able to get his clawshot out. He aimed it at the head, which was too busy laughing to notice. He shot it and it pulled the head towards Link. He threw his clawshot over and then stabbed his fingers into her eyes. As Liena began screaming at the pain, the tentacle was removed, and all four of them were flailing. Link ran over to his Master Sword and threw it at the head, and it stabbed it right through, and into the wall.
The tentacles were moving less and less, as if they were gasping for breaths, but soon the entire thing was dead. Liena was dead. Link shook his head in disgust and walked over to the head. The eyes were completely gouged out. Link wiped his hands on his pants, ignoring the smell. The mouth was still moving, as if trying to say something. He read the lips, "Mi... d... na... I... am... so... rry..."
Link looked away. He knew that Liena was being controlled, and yet he killed her. But, it couldn't be helped. Link took the sword out and began his way to the throne room.
