Hey Everyone! Anime Wildfire here. Sorry about the long wait, we had a bit of a writer's block. Enjoy the next chapter!

Last chapter
Zelda smiled. "I knew you could do it." Link grinned.
"And now we can face Ganondorf!"
Chapter 6, The Hero of time.
Now
Link led the trio out of the tunnel, watching carefully in case his parents had placed any sort of traps to keep evil from stealing the sword.
As soon as they stepped into the sunlight (completely intact I might add) they all breathed a sigh of relief. They had gotten the sword; all they needed to do now was get to Ganondorf.
"So… now that we have the sword, how do we get to Ganon?" Link asked, sitting on one of the gravestones. Zelda frowned a bit.
"Well, getting to Ganon's lair should be easy. It's getting out that I'm worried about. I don't know if I'll be able to transport all three of us out." She sat on the ground, leaning against the stone opposite of Link. Shiek sat on the stone next to her.
"I think I'll be able to get us out Zelda. As long as you can get yourself out, I should be able to get Link and myself out of there." Zelda stood up.
"With that taken care of, we need to plan a bit." Link and Shiek glanced at each other.
"So, do either of you boys have a plan?" Zelda asked, her hands on her hips. Link and Sheik glanced at each other.
"We sneak in, kill Ganondorf, and kill anyone who gets in our way before getting the heck out of there." Sheik said, Link nodded. "I like it. Simple, easy to remember." Zelda rolled her eyes. "Men."
"Well then what's your plan Miss perfectionist?" Link asked, Zelda rolled her eyes again.
"We sneak in, use hypo gas to knock out the guards, provoke Ganondorf, disarm him, kill him, then get the heck out of there. How does that plan sound?"
"…" Sheik didn't say anything; so finally Link spoke up. "…What in the world is Hypo gas?" Zelda smiled.
"That's my little secret."
--------------------------------------------------------
"Ouch! Link that was my foot!"
"Sorry! It's not my fault you have small feet."
"I do not have small feet!"
"Yes you-" Sheik clapped a hand over Link and Zelda's mouths.
"Would you two shut up already?! I can't concentrate with your bickering!" Link and Zelda nodded, so Sheik let go. Just then, footsteps echoed down the hallway.
"Alright Sheik, you got that hypo gas ready?" Shiek nodded. "Yep."
"Just what is Hypo gas anyway?" Link asked.
"Shhh!"
"Shh!" Zelda and Shiek both shushed him at the same time. Link shrugged innocently.
The trio were in Ganondorf's castle, having managed to successfully transport themselves into one of the rooms without being detected.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Footsteps continued to echo down the hallway. Link, Zelda and Sheik leaned against the wall.
"Ready Sheik? And…. Now!" Sheik threw a small vile just as the guard came around the corner. The vile broke, and the guard was immediately surrounded by purple smoke. Within seconds he had passed out on the ground.
Zelda stepped over his body and examined him. "Yep, he's out cold. Now let's hurry, Ganon's throne room shouldn't be too far from here." Link and Sheik followed Zelda as she led them down several hallways, stopping once and a while to knock out a guard or two.
Eventually the three came to a huge pair of double doors. Link and Sheik stood in awe while Zelda rummaged around in a small bag tied to her waist.
"Where did I put that… ah! Here it is." Link and Sheik stared curiously at the item in Zelda's hand, eyebrows raised.
In Zelda's hand lay the smallest key they'd ever seen, it was a wonder how she even got it. Noticing their curious and bewildered expressions, Zelda smiled.
"A woman has her ways gentlemen, now shall we proceed?"
Link and Sheik stepped back as Zelda inserted the small key into the barely visible lock in the middle of the doors. As soon as the lock clicked, there was a large noise, and the doors swung open.
In the middle of the room was a giant gold throne, and sitting in the middle of the gold throne was Ganondorf.

"Hello Zelda, and- what a surprise," Ganon's eyes flashed to the master sword strapped to Link's back, "Link, the hero of time." Link's eyes were chips of blue fire. He was angry, Zelda had never seen him so angry before.
"Ganondorf." Link spat the name. "You'll pay for murdering my parents. As well as the rest of my family." Ganondorf laughed, a deep, menacing laugh that send shivers down Link, Sheik and Zelda's spines.
"And what makes you think you can defeat me? You're just a boy, a stupid little boy who knows NOTHING of pain and suffering." Ganondorf spat the last words.
"You're wrong." Link glared at Ganondorf. "I know everything of pain and suffering. You murdered my parents. I had to grow up my whole life never knowing them because of YOU! Everything's your fault! So don't even think of lecturing me on pain and suffering!" Link's hands were clenched into fists. Ganondorf laughed again.
"Foolish boy! Just because you know a thing or two about pain or suffering doesn't mean you can defeat ME!!"
Ganondorf leaped from his throne in a flash of light, a giant sword in his hand. He was instantly in front of Link, sword headed straight for him.
"LINK!!" Link heard Zelda shout his name. Instantly his instincts took over, and within seconds he had whipped out the master sword and held it in front of him, blocking Ganondorf's attack.
Ganondorf snarled, his face inches from Link's. And for a brief second, he had a flashback, a flashback of staring into those same blue eyes, 18 years ago. Those eyes… they were identical to the eyes of the man he'd fought and killed 18 years ago, the eyes of Link's father. Both filled with the same determination and power.
Link shoved Ganon away, his baby blue eyes narrowed as he advanced towards Ganondorf. Ganondorf stood to face Link, leaping at him like he had done seconds ago.
WHAM! Something hit Ganon from the side, digging into his green skin and draw blood. Ganon's eyes narrowed at the device. He looked up, and saw Sheik and Zelda twenty feet away; both of them with weapons drawn.
A grin spread across Ganon's face as he recognized Shiek.
"Ah, so you're part of the fight as well. No matter, you'll be easy to kill, half breed!" Sheik's face filled with fury at the mention of the dreaded nickname. He lunged at Ganondorf, more of the small knife-like devices in his hand.
With one hand still on his sword holding Link back, Ganondorf lifted his right hand a shot a red bolt at Sheik. It hit him square in the chest, throwing him back against the wall, where he slid to the ground. Seconds later, one of the huge statues of Ganondorf fell, hitting another statue and sliding down until it pinned Sheik's leg to the ground, luckily not crushing him or his leg.
"Zelda! Help!" Sheik cried, trying to pull his leg out from under the stature. Zelda, who'd been standing in horror, quickly raced to him, trying to use her magical power to move the statue. It failed.
"I can't Sheik! My magic can't lift the statue!" She tried pushing it with her hands, but nothing happened. She turned back towards Link and Ganondorf.
"Link! HELP!"

Meanwhile, right after Ganondorf threw Sheik against the wall, Link shoved Ganondorf away. Ganon stumbled back from the force of the shove, giving Link the opportunity to slash at Ganondorf, barely nicking him as he managed to block just in time.
With a snarl, Ganondorf lunged toward Link, slashing at him over and over in fury. Link countered every attack, their moves too fast to be seen as they slashed over and over at each other.
Finally, Ganondorf pulled an unexpected counter and punched Link, sending him flying across the room and into a statue. Link pulled himself to his feet, snarling under his breath as he wiped blood off a cut on his cheek. Ganondorf smirked.
"Link! HELP!" Link's head whipped to the left, where Zelda was standing next to a trapped Sheik.
Quickly Link leaped into the air, flipping over Ganondorf's head and landing next to Zelda and Sheik. Ganondorf snarled, wheeling around.
Quickly Link and Zelda began to push the statue, Zelda using her magic and Link using his muscle. Ganondorf began charging towards Link, Link pushed Zelda out of the way and managed to leap aside just in time to avoid Ganondorf's blade.
The blade pierced deep into the wall, missing Link by inches. Link quickly pushed off the statue and shot towards Ganondorf too fast for Sheik and Zelda to see.
He slashed at Ganondorf, slicing him in the side. Ganondorf shouted in pain, wheeling around to face Link, who was standing behind him, eyes filled with determination.
Ganondorf grit his teeth and lunged at Link, and once again the two were engaged deeply as their swords flashed and clashed quick as the eye could see.
-0-
Meanwhile, Sheik managed to slide his leg out as Link and Zelda lifted the statue, and quick as a flash he was on his feet, more of the knife-like devices in his hand.
"Quick Sheik! We have to help Link!" Zelda shouted to him. Sheik nodded as Zelda turned back the battle. She couldn't help but gasp at Link. The determination in his eyes… it was just like when his father fought Ganondorf, the same deep look in the eyes, and the quick reflexes…
"Zelda! Hurry! Link needs our help!" Zelda snapped out of her flashback and started racing towards Link, ready to use her magic when Ganondorf noticed them. He raised one hand.
"Oh no you don't…" A crystal suddenly appeared around Zelda and Sheik, stopping them in their tracks. Sheik pounded his fists on the crystal and Zelda tried her magic, but nothing worked.
"We've got to get out of here!" Zelda said to Sheik. She glanced back at the battle, just in time to see Ganondorf slash Link in the back…
-0-
Back with Link…
Ganondorf stabbed at Link, aiming for Link's stomach and chest. Each time Link managed to dodge, but barely. He quickly countered with his own attack, aiming a slice at Ganondorf's head. But Ganon was prepared, and quickly pulled back, flipping through the air and landing a few feet back. Link lunged at him, sword raised.
Smirking, Ganon shot a small red bolt at Link's shoulder, flipping him back.
And with that, Link felt Ganon's blade slice his back and the warm sticky feeling of blood dripping down his clothes.
