((A/N: The thrilling conclusion of... The Hour of Twilight! Wow, I will have to say, this was a great story.. just because it had Midna in it! It's the first one I've completed in awhile, too. I guess I just wanted to see what I was capable of. I love this chapter, though, because of the fight scene. Well, this and last chapter. My goal was to make something as hideously ugly as that of Resident Evil 4. I think it worked a bit... to me at least. Read.))
Link approached the throne room door. He grabbed the handle but then a searing pain in his legs appeared. Link fell down to the ground. He didn't know what was going on. The pain continued to consume his body. He couldn't stop it from hurting. It felt like his limbs were being torn. He screamed out in pain.
He looked down at the hole that exposed his chest, and saw hair growing. Now he understood what was going on. The wolf is trying to take over. Link pulled out his bottle of pills as best he could, but the pain just kept going. He couldn't open it. He hurt too bad, so he threw the bottle at the wall, hoping it would shatter.
It did, and once it did, he crawled over and took about 3 of them. He swallowed them all down and slowly, the pain went away. The hair disappeared too. He needed to get Midna as quick as he could now.
He stood up and grabbed the rest of the pills and just threw them in his pouch. He opened the door and walked in. The first thing he saw was Midna, bolted up at the wall. "Midna!" Link shouted. He ran up the steps.
"Heh, heh, heh..."
Link stopped and turned around, looking. The laugh kept going. Finally, he focused on the throne. "Wanna come out?" Link asked. Kinal appeared, sitting on the throne. He had his legs crossed and his head resting on his fist. On the right arm of the throne, there was a glass, might have had wine in it.
Kinal bobbed his feet up and down, and said, "Well, if it isn't for the Hero. The one who saved us all from Zant. I've heard so much about you." Kinal sat upright, feet on the ground and arms crossed. He took the glass of wine and took a drink of it. "What do you desire of me?"
"Let Midna go!" Link said.
Kinal sighed, and sat in the same position as before, bored with Link. "Oh... but why would I want to let my favorite decoration go?" Kinal asked, rotating the glass of wine a bit before taking another sip.
Link stood his ground, "Why are you doing this? You're worse than Zant."
"Zant was mad. I am completely sane... as for the reason... because we need to take back the world that was rightfully ours," Kinal said, drinking the rest of his wine. He set it down and snapped his fingers. A Twilit soldier walked out pouring more wine. "Why are you opposing our wishes?"
"You're crazy. You won't get anything by forcing this. Ganondorf tried it and he's history," Link said.
Kinal laughed, "You amuse me, boy. Let me tell you something... I have lived much longer than you probably have. I know the history of our Tribe and the history of your world. You knew nothing until a coincidental attack on your pitiful world. Zant and Ganondorf are dead. They failed." Link took a step. "You still... want this?" Kinal asked, pointing upwards.
Link nodded, "Kinal, there's no one to rule here anymore. Liena is dead. She won't be coming back, now."
Kinal laughed, "Poor, poor Liena. Oh well, just a temporary loss."
"Temporary?" Link asked.
He laughed even more, "Exactly. It's temporary. Once we sacrifice Midna, we will have everlasting life. With the blood of the ruler, I will be able to bring back my poor sister." Link shook his head in disgust and disbelief. Kinal sighed, "I was waiting for you to come... Now! Bear witness to the death of your princess!"
At that second, he saw a flaming arrow flying towards Midna's head. Link ran as fast as he could, "No! Midna!!"
Suddenly, two dirks flew at the bolts holding up Midna. They broke off and Midna fell down. The flaming arrow struck the wall. "What?!" Kinal said, angrily.
Someone jumped over and caught Midna, and quickly jumped towards Link. The person was a woman. She wore a body suit, and her arms and legs were covered in bandages. She wore small shoes and gloves. Her face was mostly covered, but Link could see her blue face and yellow eyes. Coming from her head is a large, yellow ponytail, high up. She set Midna on the floor and said, "My name is Lovash... I am here to help you."
"Just in time!" Link said, glad.
"Enough!" Kinal said, quite angry. He threw his glass of wine to the side and stood up. "Have at you!" He flew right at Link and held him up at a wall by his neck. "You're quite the nuisance, but after you're gone, nothing will stop us!"
Lovash took a whip out and wrapped it around Kinal's head, pulling him back. Link fell down to the ground, gasping for breath, and then said, "Lovash! Take Midna to safety while I deal with him!" Lovash nodded, picked Midna up, and shot a clawshot up at a hole in the corner of the room. It's probably where she came in from.
Kinal began laughing, "Oh... this is so funny... insolent fool... You will see my power!" Then, his eyes began glowing as well, just like Liena's were when she transformed into a monster. He began stretching upwards, getting taller. His feet, in addition to getting bigger, split into three separate talons, on each foot. Both of his arms turned into large scythes, and he grew a dangerously large and sharp tail. All of his skin tore off and the head of this monster was revealed—it had three large yellow eyes and many tentacles near the bottom of the head, hiding its mouth. It took a few steps and roared. When it roared, the tentacles blew around and Link saw all the rows of teeth on that thing.
"That's all you guys are... monsters. This'll be easy... I hope," Link said. He began running, and the monster tried hitting him with its scythe claws. Link jumped on top of one and grabbed on. The monster took its other claw and tried picking Link off, but Link let go and set his clawshot off at its eyes. The claw stabbed into the other claw, which started bleeding. Once Link was up by the eyes, Link took his sword and stabbed the big, middle eye. It cried out in pain, and then Link inserted a bomb. Link jumped off the monster and it exploded.
The monster fell down, bleeding severely from the eye. Link tried making his way over to the head again, but one of the talons stabbed down onto Link, right through his chest. Link coughed out some blood. The monster lifted his foot up and threw Link over at the wall, damaging him. Link lay there, unable to move. The monster stood up again.
"No... It's over..." Link said.
"No... it isn't..."
Link perked up. The voice was familiar.
"Do not... give up Link. Please... please... I... need you..."
The voice... it was Midna's. Once he heard her voice, he felt so much better, like his wounds never hurt. He saw Lovash enter, and she ran over to Link. "Link... you cannot die. Use these..." she said, giving him a potion. "The only way to defeat him is to become a wolf," she said. Link drank the potion, and the searing, tearing pain came back. Link had to bear it, and before he knew it, he was a wolf. Lovash nodded, "You can do it... Hero."
Link looked up at the monster. In this form, he was much more agile and had more stamina. And, Link had the claws to climb up the skin to tear out the eyes. The monster's tail began stabbing Link, but his quick dodges accomplished nothing for the monster. After about 4 unsuccessful stabs, it used its claws to attack, but Link jumped up on its leg and climbed up. When Link got to the eyes, he grabbed onto the left eye with both claws, digging into them, and bit on the eye
The eye popped and juices went everywhere. Then, Link stuck his claws into the popped eye, cutting anything he could. The monster tried picking Link off, but Link just ran onto its back. The monster slammed its back on the wall, but Link came back up to its eyes. One of the tentacles from its mouth grabbed the left hind leg of Link's.
Link feverishly cut the tentacle with his paws. After one was cut, others grabbed Link. He cut them as fast as he could. He did not want to see the monster's teeth. After most of the tentacles were cut, the monster just stopped moving. Blood had spilt everywhere. Link took this chance to pierce the other eye. He did exactly as he did before.
When the eye popped, the monster let out a loud scream. Link scratched inside the socket, and then jumped off. Lovash ran to Link, and said, "You did it!" The monster fell down and began twitching, spewing out fluids everywhere. Link turned back into a human, and he realized that the fluids and blood was nearly shin-high.
Link smiled, "I did it with your help, Lovash."
"Don't call me Lovash..." she said. She took off the bandages, and Link was face-to-face with Zelda.
"Zelda!?" he said. She giggled, "Let's go. We need to get back to Midna." Link was stuttering, but then he nodded. As they walked to the door, something from under the fluids grabbed Zelda's foot, and pulled her over towards the monster. Link used his clawshot to fly over to the monster's body quickly. He took his sword out and cut the tentacle that had grabbed Zelda, and then did a finishing stab on the monster. It let out one last growl and, finally, died.
Link helped Zelda up and they walked out of the palace. When they got outside, they were faced with a mob of people. The leader of them all was Midna. "Link... thank you... so much..."
"There was nothing I could do to prevent the death of Liena... I'm sorry..." Link said. He looked away and on the side, he saw Valah's body. They were about to bury him.
"You did what you could, Link. And you saved our Realm, again," Midna said. She bowed. Link smiled. He walked over to Midna and the two fell into an embrace. Soon enough, the two kissed, and Midna said, "Link... you smell bad."
"Ahem..." Zelda said, walking up to them, "Link... we need to go back to our world. We cannot intervene any longer."
Link stared back into Midna's eyes, which began to tear up. Link said, "Alright... Midna... see you around." Link began to walk away. Zelda began chanting the spell.
"Wait... Link!" she said. "Link! I..." The two of them disappeared, right as Midna shouted out, "I love you!" Midna stared into the empty space. Link was gone. She could do nothing about it now. She'll never see him again. He'll never know about her feelings. He'll never know...
