M.S.K: Whew! My oh my! I did a lot of writing these days. Plus I even did a little thinking time while I'm at it. Finally I'm able to get this battle chapter uploaded, thank heavens. Plus, I even added another character I created for this story. Hopefully you'll catch a lot of action in it too. This is also getting close to the end of the story soon. Ah! I would also like to mention that there are some lyrics to a song from another Anime. It's actually an english translation to one of its songs. So, I decided to add it to the story. Link?
Link: Certainly. Kaoru doesn't own Legend of Zelda: Four Swords. She only owns her own characters for the story. Everything about Legend of Zelda: Four Swords rightfully belongs to Nintendo.
M.S.K: Thanks. Also, I don't own the english lyrics of the song. All Rights are reserved. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy!
Link: Say, what took you so long?
M.S.K: Ah! I was at the anime and game convention I told you guys about. It was fun! I was also at my friend's place to make mochi with her. Plus, I was a little fangirl crazy over another anime I watched recently.
Link: Let me guess. It's Hetalia.
M.S.K: (Shakes her head) Nope, nope, nope. It's something else. Gundam Wing.
Link: A mecha?
M.S.K: Hai!
Chapter 15: The Battle for Hyrule & Hylia!
This hideous, monstrous form of the wizard looked down at his ex-servant and the Royal Children below and his sinister laughter boomed throughout the dark sky! "Ha ha ha ha ha! You pathetic, simple fools! You think that you can easily evade and oppose me? Ganondorf? The new ruler of Hylia and Hyrule?" He began to raise his giant, clawed hand upon the spot they're all in, on the water!
"Everyone, look out!" Shadow cried out!
Before his hand came down on them, everyone quickly dove underwater to get away from it! They're all safe once they rose up from below the water. Then, they saw a great flash of lightning that no one in all of Hyrule has ever seen! It came from the trident as it was raised into the sky by Ganondorf!
"Ha ha ha ha!" He laughed loudly again, shouting out to the dark stormy skies! "Admit it, you little weaklings! I am the new king of all Hyrule and Hylia now! Everything does as I command!" Another bolt of lightening flashed in the dark, cloudy sky and thunder rumbled! In a matter of seconds, it even began to rain! With one swipe of his hand, he created a great tidal wave to go rolling towards them! "Every clap of thunder answers my voice and every wave obeys my every call! Go! Crush these sea weevils!"
Hoshimi saw the giant wave and she can see that it's coming close for the impact of its great splash! "Everybody! Let's all swim out of the way!" She quickly guided Zelda, Link, Vio and Shadow away from the wave's path! They are safe once they're out of the way. But she is missing three people! "Wait! Where are. . . Oh!" She looked behind her and she saw Red and Blue! They're right in the wave's path, still! So is Shining Link!
"Gyaaah! Save me, Blue!" Red shrieked while clinging on to his brother again!
Blue began to try pushing him off, hardly noticing the approaching wave. "Red! For Din's sake, stop clinging on to me!"
Shining Link is staying close to them cautiously.
Then, Hoshimi came over to them, swimming as fast as she could! "Red! Blue!" She shouted out to them! She quickly moved the two out of the way of the wave and as she did, she can see that it's getting closer and closer to them! After that, she turned over to Shining Link and cried. "Get out while you can!"
"But, I can't leave you here at this rate!" He called back to her.
"It's your life that I'm more worried about besides my own, Shining Link!" She said back to him with a look of seriousness in her eyes.
All of a sudden, before they knew it, both: The Prince of Hyrule and the Princess of Hylia are swept up by the giant tidal wave and are plunged underwater roughly! "Yaaaah!"
"Hoshimi! Shining Link!" Cried Link, Zelda, Blue, Red, Vio, and Shadow in unison after seeing what happened!
Ganondorf laughed once more! "Ha ha ha ha! You pathetic little sardines might as well give up right now! No one and nothing can stop me!" He held the orb that had the Knife of Hylia's Tears and Din's Pearl. "With this tremendous power in my hands, all of the forces of the Great Ocean will follow my command! The Sea of Hylia! The Land of Hyrule! It will all be mine!" He raised the trident again and a great dark light flashed! The waves of the sea began to grow wilder than before! At that moment, many vortexes on the water appeared and swirled around and around, creating rising whirlpools up into the air! Ganondorf is now having the entire sea under his control of dark power!
From their windows, everyone in Castle Town are witnessing the storm raging in front of them. They even want to know what was going on out there.
From their window, King Phoebus and Queen Raina are standing there, watching the dark view of the storm, hoping if their son is doing okay. Liliana held Erune tightly as they watched the scene too with Sheik.
Also, Julius had just finished bringing his cuckoos and their chicks inside his home for shelter. As soon as he is done, he looked out at his window and he can see that the storm is getting stronger out at sea. "Hah. . . Somethin' is telling me that a storm like that one isn't going to be a good one. I don't like the look of it. Even me cuckoos are frightened of it."
Below the sea, back in the Royal Palace, all of the Six Maidens can see that the waves above the surface are exciting and it is a sign that there's a storm in the air.
"This storm is definitely not one of the ordinary." Said the Blue Maiden.
"I can also sense that it's charged of dark energy." The Yellow Maiden also told her.
Then, the White Maiden spoke. "Princess Hoshimi must be all right."
"I just hope that King Thor, the Princes and Princess Zelda will be able to find her safely. After she has been up in Hyrule with her Prince for almost three days." Said the Red Maiden.
"Same for us." Said the other maidens in unison.
Then, Blue Maiden announced. "They should not handle this alone. We have to call upon another disciple to aid them." She turned to them and have the rest of the maidens form a circle. Once they're in position, she weaved her hands together and asked them. "Ready?"
They all nodded. Then, they closed their eyes and began their prayers to the heavens. They even activated their powers while they're at it.
Yes, a storm like this one isn't a really good one. While this is still going on, Link quickly guided everyone to safety as they swam towards a rock to brace themselves of this incredibly violent storm! Once they're all hanging on to the rock, they are now beginning to wonder if their sister is all right.
"I hope Hoshimi isn't harmed by that wave!" Red quivered. "If only Navi were here, she'll know what to do!"
"But, she's terrified of dark magic, mostly." Said Blue.
"We got to do something!" Said Zelda. "We can't let Ganondorf take complete control of the two kingdoms with our father's trident, the Knife of Hylia's Tears, or the Pearl of Din! If he does, then chaos will reign and eternal peace will be lost forever!"
Vio looked up and spoke too. "We got to get the pearl and the knife out of his possession."
"How?" Asked Shadow. "He's too powerful, right now. Your Four Swords and your magic alone won't be too affective on him."
Blue then noticed two familiar figures appearing up on the surface of the water. "Ah! Look, guys! It's them! They're okay!"
Everyone looked over and they saw Hoshimi swimming to them with Shining Link!
The two were swimming with all of their might, although they're a little weak from what the big wave had done to them. They're just about get closer to the rock until a giant hand is above them! Ganondorf is about to attack again!
"Still resisting? I think not!" The power-hungry and deformed wizard threw his hand down upon the water, forcing the Prince and the Princess to go under again!
Shining Link quickly swam back up to the surface and he made it to the rock where Shadow and Hoshimi's siblings were. He panted as he laid down on it.
Everyone scooted over to him. "Are you all right, there?" Asked Link.
"Yes. . ." He huffed. "But, where's. . . Hoshimi?"
Then, everyone heard a scream! "AAAAAH!" They all looked up and they saw that Hoshimi was grasped by Ganondorf's giant hand! "Ah! Hoshimi!"
The Princess was carried up to meet Ganondorf's big, glowing eyes. "You. . . . Insolent beast!" She tried to push herself out of his grasp with all the strength of her arms. But her efforts were useless! "Unhand me this instant!"
But, the pig-headed warlock growled. "You don't have any power over me, you little whelp! Therefore, you won't last long, yourself! I have your father's power of rule right now, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it!"
"That's what you think!" She shouted back to him. Then she raised her hands up and cried. "Din's Fire!" Two fireballs appeared in her hands and she slammed them on the flesh of his fingers, hoping if it would release her! However, it didn't manage to harm him! But she continued to throw more fireballs on to his giant fingers, still trying to get out!
Now, from seeing how strong his younger sister's magic have gotten in the past few days, Link decided that he and his siblings can't just sit on the rock and watch her struggle! "Come on, everybody! We got to help her!" He jumped off from the rock and everyone followed him towards the giant monster to help!
Once they got close to Ganondorf's armored torso, Link announced, readying his sword. "Red! Blue! Vio! Are you all ready for this?"
"Ready!" They answered in unison.
"Ready, Zelda?" He asked his first sister.
"Of course!" She answered too.
"I'll join too!" Said Shadow Link, pulling out a sword of his own.
"So will I!" Shining Link agreed also, pulling out a really special sword! It's a magnificent blade with a lovely blue winged hilt and above it, on the blade, is the golden mark of the Triforce!
Everyone was surprised when the sword was shown in front of them! "Wow!" It's something that practically everyone knows! Especially Vio.
He stared at the blade and asked. "Isn't that the legendary Master Sword? A mystical blade that's used by the many heroes of Hyrule?"
The Prince smiled at him. "It sure is. But there's no time to waste!"
Link nodded. "You're right! We're ready, right? Now, all together! Charge!"
So, everyone charged towards the armored monster and Link took the opportunity for the first strike! "For Father! Yaah!" Then, everyone else joined in while Zelda commanded her flame of Din's Fire! They made their strike but, it didn't even harm him at all!
"Rats!" Blue cursed! "We had him with our swords, but he did not flinch!"
But, it doesn't matter to Link, though. "Okay, everyone! Let's try another way!" He got out his boomerang and threw it towards the wizard.
Blue tried to bash him with his mallet, and Red gave him a hand with his fire rod! Now, the flames didn't seem to do any good, so he tried the ice rod instead. But, the results are still the same! The ice had no affect! "No. . . . !" Red groaned. "I thought they'll work. They always do some good on the past enemies we faced."
"And my hammer didn't do any damage at all!" Blue groaned also.
Well, Link thought his boomerang can do something. But, it didn't work on Ganondorf once it came back. "Grr! All right! Let's try this again!" He threw it with enough force his hand can muster! But, when it touched Ganondorf's armor, it broke! "Gah!" Link is now surprised at this! His boomerang will always do the trick to his father's enemies. But against this warlock, it's useless!
Finally, Shining Link jumped in. "Let me try!" He leapt up from the water and flew up to the giant wizard!
"I'll do this along with you!" Said Shadow. He's going for the same aim as the Prince. Surely, Shining Link isn't expecting that but, it should do.
Hoshimi from Ganondorf's left hand made a brief and affectionate smile for not only her prince is coming up to rescue her. But also along with the Shadowy Link who had tried his best to keep her away from the wizard in the first place.
Ganondorf roared again when he saw the two. "You disrespectful little insects!" He fired a bolt of lightning at them and sent them back into the water before they have a chance of attacking him!
"Gaaaah!" Shining Link and Shadow screamed when they are hit by the bolt and they landed into the sea afterwards.
Then, the wizard laughed once more. "That will teach you!"
After seeing that, Hoshimi began to struggle out of his hand once again.
Link swam over to the the Prince and Shadow to see if they're all right. Thankfully, they're okay. He then turned to Zelda. "Any luck?"
She shook her head unfortunately. "Oh, no! No matter what I do, he has shown no signs of weakness!"
Link let out a sigh. "Haaah! My boomerang was destroyed and yet, our Four Swords won't be able to go against him, either! That warlock is rarely putting up a fight with us."
"Just how are we going to get Hoshimi out of the hands of that devil and more importantly, how are we going to beat him?" Blue asked. Then, he showed his brother, his worn out mallet. "I thought for sure, my mallet will get him!"
Red then let out a moan as he came up to his first brother with Vio, who has run out of his arrows. "He's got everything our Father had since he's now holding his trident."
Everyone is about to ponder until Hoshimi called down from above. "You're quite right on that, Red. It's only a matter of moments, depending on how many times you guys hit him with everything you have. So, the good thing is, what you're all doing is wearing him down until the right time."
Now, everyone is getting what she's saying. Vio answered her. "You know, you're totally right! It can be the fact that everything we did so far is taking him down slowly, bit by bit."
Blue then asked her. "Are you sure you're all right up there, Hoshimi?"
"Aww, of course I am!" She answered. "I'm just waiting to get my Din's Fire up to power, so that I can get myself out. But, if you guys get me out of here before I can, then that's okay."
Vio shrugged while smirking a little. "Well, your Din's Fire has gotten stronger over the past few days. I believe we must have had our eyes shut while you're building up your strength." Well, everyone agreed with him on that.
But, Ganondorf called out. "Ah, but Children of the Sea! Have you all forgotten something about me?"
Everyone looked up at him to listen to what this pig has to say. Including Hoshimi.
The wizard gripped his trident firmly as he gave out. "With this trident, I even have the great capability. . . ." Then, the trident began to glow a dark violet color under his control! It's even gathering enough energy for the next blow! "To smite every one of you in one swoop!" After the trident's energy reached it's full capacity, he raised the trident and he swung another bolt of dark light towards Link, Shadow, Shining Link, and the rest of the Royal Children!
While seeing this, everyone gasped, one by one!
"No. . . !" Link gasped first.
"It's impossible!" Gasped Zelda, next.
Shining Link only flinched while seeing that bolt.
"No way. . !" Then, Shadow.
Next, Red. "Our father. . ."
Then, Blue. "Can't. . ."
Lastly, Vio. "Do. . . ."
Then, once they're met with the shocking affects from the dark bolt, they all screamed out the last word in unison! "That!" After getting hit by the bolt, they were tossed into the stormy sky and they all fell back into the water again!
"Everyone!" Hoshimi cried out. She began her struggling again. She's now angry with what Ganondorf have done to her friends and family! He tricked her by bargaining with her wish, he turned her father into stone, and now, he has harmed her siblings, his ex-servant, and her Prince! "You despicable sea demon! You'll pay for everything you've done against us once I get out of here! I'm sure that the Three Goddesses of Hyrule will drain all of the living daylights out of you! Gerudo Wizard or not, I will definitely punish you for all the dishonor you've brought upon all of Hylia and Hyrule!"
Then she raised her arms again, one more time! "Naryu's. . . ." But, before she can do anything, her command for her magic has stopped for that she felt Ganondorf's giant hand tightening up around her waist! The grip is so tight, she began to squeal out in pain! "Yaaah!"
The monster roared at her while gripping the poor Mer-Hylian Princess! "Don't you dare defy the new King, you useless weakling!" He then loosened his hand a bit around her for he has another thing to say.
While Hoshimi is taking a few breaths to get some air in her, he said to her. "You listen closely to me, now! As the most powerful wizard of this world, I practically loath those imbecilic beings you all call the Three Golden Goddesses of Hyrule! It was them who prevent me from being the king of Hylia, ever since your bloated father banished me to live in the Abyss of the Great Sea! So far, taking his Trident is the first thing I need to be the most powerful being in this world! Far more powerful than those Goddesses!" He is now showing her the glowing orb that contained the pearl and the knife. "I now have Hylia's Knife and the Pearl of Din in my hands as the second step! And now, since you're here in the clutches of my hand, there is one more thing I need!"
"Oh! What is it?" She asked him angrily.
The giant boar laughed. "Hah! I thought for sure you have figured it out since it's such a sacred secret in your family."
Even Link, Shadow, the Prince, and his siblings looked up from the water to hear what this wizard is going to say. It's also something they all know, apparently.
Ganondorf began to tell Hoshimi. "Princess Hoshimi, take a good look at the back of your right hand." As she looked at it, he told her more. "There's a reason why there's only one half of the Triforce of Power being shown there. There is something that you're not quite aware about."
She stared at the mark on her hand for a bit before asking him. "Is there a meaning for it?"
The deformed wizard grinned and answered her! "I already know the secret you and your family have been keeping for all these years, Hoshimi! Unlike your siblings who are under the Triforce of Courage and Wisdom, you are under the first Triforce triangle! However, you have only half of it! Another half is held by another disciple in this world!" While holding the trident still, he showed her the back of his left hand! What he's revealing to her is the real truth!
Hoshimi and everyone else gasped at what he revealed to them! "Oh!" She began with eyes wide opened! "That's. . . . That's the second half of the Triforce of Power!" She took one more look at hers. Finally, she gets the picture. "So. . . That means. . . !"
"Of course!" Ganondorf replied. "You have the first half while I have the second! You and I are pretty much the same! We're both under the Triforce of Power!"
Now, Hoshimi is too shocked to decide whether or not, she should say something. She could scarcely believe her own ears! "Why. . ." She began. "Why would you have the same Triforce trademark as I do? The Power element of the Triforce should not belong to you! Even if you have half of it, you still won't rule Hyrule or Hylia!"
"Oh! You're still defying me, eh?" He roared. "Well, then in order to fulfill my need to rule both of the kingdoms, I will have to drain you of your half, then!" From the hand that's holding Hoshimi, a dark black aura surrounded her!
Sensing the uprising shadows around her, Hoshimi tried to do more wriggling, though it's still useless! "What's happening? What are you doing, Ganondorf?"
Link and everybody else from below gasped at what the wizard is going to do with her!
Ganondorf began to roar out again! "Ha ha! By the time I'm done with you, Hoshimi, you're the one who's going to be powerless while I, Ganondorf, will be the most powerful wizard in all of Hyrule and Hylia! Ha ha ha ha!" With that said, he gripped her tightly and the black aura, enveloping the princess, began its work by strengthening itself and slowly draining all of her force energy from within, so that it can be added to the wizard!
"Gyaaaaaaaah!" Hoshimi screamed bitterly for as the energy is being pulled out of her, pain is surging through her body, slowly making her become weak!
This made the wizard laugh louder than before! "Ha ha ha! Yes! Yes! Scream louder! Let your voice ring out to the Goddesses of Hyrule for there's a new being of power awaiting them, now! No one will be able to bring me down!"
Seeing Hoshimi getting hurt even began to make Shining Link's blood boil with anger and torment in him! He cried out! "Stop it! You monster! You're hurting Hoshimi! Let her go!"
"Hoshimi!" Zelda, Red, Vio, Blue, and Shadow Link, cried out as they helplessly watch what the wizard is doing to her!
"Sister!" Link shouted while small drops of tears are appearing from his eyes!
Ganondorf looked down at his prey once again. "Admit defeat now, little Mer-Hylian Princess! Without the Pearl of Din, you're absolutely nothing!"
Hoshimi grunted through the dark magic. "The. . . Pearl of. . . Din. . . ?" Then, among the black aura, a thought struck her! She should say something to this warlock too! Then, she grunted out to him. "Well. . . Ganondorf. . . You're right! You are. . . a powerful wizard. . . But, here's the news flash for you. . . ! The Three Goddesses: Din. . . Naryu . . . and Farore; they all have true power than you, still!"
"What?" He asked her.
"Well. . . . It is true! Ever since you're put into this world. . . Din gave you half of the Triforce of Power while the other half is given to me. . . And better yet, she can still. . . . take yours away. . . just as easy! So face it. . . . Ganondorf! Even if you have. . . Father's trident, Din's Pearl, and the Knife of Hylia's Tears. . . . You're still. . . The second being of power!" She answered him again.
Well, Ganondorf is about to say something until he had a thought in his mind too. "Wait! You're quite right! Din, herself does have power that can exceed mine! But. . . !" He began to strengthen his dark aura upon the Princess! "Once I get all of yours, I'll still be more powerful than her!"
"Gah!" More pain stabbed Hoshimi again! But, she smirked at him. "You still won't believe me? Well, you won't have my power, anyway!"
"You stay silent!" Ganondorf placed the Trident at the front of his shoulder first then he took the magical knife from the orb and held it above her! "More of that nonsense and I'll finish you! I'm sure that I'll be complete of your energy once I use this upon your valued life!"
"No! Stop!" Everyone below shouted!
Hoshimi winced as she braced herself for what's going to happen!
Just when Ganondorf is about to use the knife to assassinate the Princess of Hylia, a great white light blinded him as it broke through the dark storm clouds! After blinding the monstrous warlock, it removed the knife and Din's Pearl out of his hands! "Haaaaaaah!" That light even had a voice that sounded like that of a young man! After retrieving the knife and the pearl, the light flew over to Hoshimi, gratefully engulfed her and removed her out of Ganondorf's grasp! Plus, her Triforce power energy has returned to her as soon as she is freed! The two objects eventually placed themselves on to Hoshimi's hands.
"What is this?" Ganondorf roared at the light. "Who are you? How dare you interrupt this awakening moment of my reign?"
Once his yell was heard, the light began to take form of a tall young man with golden eyes, sunshine colored hair, and all dressed in white clothes that seemed to be the same as Shining Link's! As he held Hoshimi in his arms, he is adorned with shining platinum armor! His face is even decorated with silver markings! He looked as if he were to resemble a strong warrior hailed from another tribe. He stared sternly at Ganondorf and announced his name. "I am Hikaru, Hyrule's Spirit of the Stars. Protector and Guardian of the Sacred Realm, and a soldier to the Three Golden Goddesses of Hyrule!"
Shining Link looked up and saw the real Spirit of the Stars in the sky with Hoshimi. "Ah, it's him!" He said slightly. Link, Zelda, Shadow, Vio, Blue, and Red looked up too.
Ganondorf is equally surprised at his sudden appearance too. "It. . . It can't be!"
Hikaru, the spirit placed Hoshimi down in the glowing orb of light he made for him and her, then he showed his sword at the monster. "I have come from the heavens to defend the Children of Hylia and the Prince of Hyrule, under orders from the Goddess of Power, Din, herself! You, Ganondorf have committed a great crime towards her, Naryu and Farore! This unforgivable act of greed cannot be endured by them or all of the mortals who live in the two kingdoms of this world! Therefore, a punishment should be made for you and your corruptible doings!"
Shocked with disbelief from this warrior's words, the wizard yelled out! "No! That's impossible! The goddesses are not supposed to interfere when a new ruler makes his arrival upon this world!"
"The entire world from the earth and the sea is crying out for your defeat, Ganondorf!" Hikaru declared. "You are to be executed! The Goddesses have spoken! So, your reign of torment upon the two Kingdoms ends here!"
"You can't do this to me! I'm the new king!" He shout again!
"You're king of nothing!" Then, Hikaru raised his sword and it began to build up light energy! When the time is just right, he pointed the sword at the monster and it fired its ray of light at him! Once the light ray hit Ganondorf, it created giant glowing chains to bind him! Now, the wizard is more shocked for he can't move an inch now!
After that's done, Hikaru controlled his orb of light to bring him and Hoshimi down to the water. Next, he enveloped her siblings along with the Prince and Shadow Link inside. Then, he turned to Hoshimi. "I am giving you the will to punish him, now. For he have brought dishonor to you and your family."
"Me?" She asked him. "How will I do that?"
Hikaru smiled at her. "You have my blessing since your birth, Princess Hoshimi. You are the true bearer of Din's Power. Only you will have her trust to use it willfully with extreme care. She knows you will never use your power to bring harm. But only to bring happiness to others. Also, you are the one who is destined to own and use Hylia's Knife. Take it and use it against him! When he tried to take your life, he doesn't deserve to use it from the moment I got here."
"So, if this knife is ever used for other uses, such as killing, then its powers will be diminished?" She asked him again.
"Exactly." He answered her as he take her hands and have them wrapping themselves around the handle of the knife. "This knife is for magic uses, only. So, Hoshimi of Hylia. Take this knife and use it with your pearl, and the pearls of your brothers and sister. Then, you will save your father and bring peace to your homeland and your prince's."
Hoshimi looked at the wizard who's fruitlessly struggling against the strong chains that Hikaru placed upon him. Then she gazed at the knife and her pearl. Lastly, she thought about her father, who gave up his crown and trident for her. Then, she felt a two hands on her shoulders. She looked behind her and it was her brother, Link and her prince, Shining Link. She saw that they're both smiling at her.
"We know you can do this, younger sister." Her first brother told her.
"Do it to save your father!" Said the Prince. "And you're not alone. We are here to back you up."
Hoshimi didn't know what to say. She saw Shadow with a hopeful look on his face. She can see that he wanted her to finish his old master off. She is also seeing Red, Blue, Vio, and Zelda smiling at her too.
She couldn't believe it. Everyone is going to count on her to bring that dishonorable wizard to his downfall. She made a determined smile at them and declared. "Right! I'll do it! For Hylia and Hyrule!"
Hoshimi turned to Ganondorf and called out with the might of her voice! "Ganondorf! Your days of darkness are numbered! It's time for you to meet the light!" With that, she might know what to do.
She pulled out her ocarina and played one note first. After putting her instrument away, she showed the knife in front of her, held the pearl in her other hand and began to sing as soon as music began to play from the heavens. "~The last page of a fairy tale is rewritten, and changed into a tragedy. I even lose sight of the one person I believed in. Love and dreams are almost like a sand castle. They're fragile and they crumble down, even if you don't wish for it.~"
Once Hoshimi began to sing, the knife began to gather energy slowly. "~But even now, I still can't forget the melody you always sang. As it echoes in my heart, I feel as if things will go back to they way they were back then, someday. Still, I'm sure, it can return. I shake off the chains that were placed upon me, and the two worlds are connected together in the blue ocean!" Even a golden aura is surrounding the young princess!
"Hah!" Ganondorf roared again. "You are beginning to do your magic, but I'll kill you before that!" But, when he tried to unbound himself from the chains, it's useless! The magic Hikaru placed on him is stronger than what he expected! It's even stronger than his!
Hikaru called out. "It's useless to move! As I've told you, you are now to be punished!"
Hoshimi continued to sing as her knife builds up more of its power! At the very same time, Din's Pearl began to glow from in her hand. Even the melody of the song began to ring throughout the sky. "~Definitely! Only love can overcome anything! It can even change the constellations that decide fate! It should just vanish, that cowardly lie, and the present too...!~"
Seeing how the knife in the Princess' hands is gathering strength, Ganondorf is more shocked than ever! "No! This isn't what it's like in the legend! There's no way that a song can also be sung when the knife is in the bearer's hands when this world is bordering peril! This can't be happening!"
Hoshimi, with anger filled eyes, looked up at him and spoke. "Yes, it is! This is what it was in the legend!"
"But. . . Your father didn't tell you that!" He shouted back.
"Of course he didn't." She said, grinning. "That's because, I already figured it out!" Then, she continued to sing. Even her siblings, Shadow, and Shining Link joined in to sing along with her while wrapping their hands upon hers as she held the knife firmly. They're doing this because the Pearls of Naryu and Farore are glowing too. "~Wrapped in the kindness and love of the Mother Sea, who sparkles like a jewel, where I was born. There is a dream that seven lives gaze upon. That is why I came here. I can't lie to myself anymore. Because I have a person to protect and a world to protect!~"
Once the knife's power reached its full impact of power from the pearls, everyone let Hoshimi do the job with the last few words of the song! "~Surely! To doubt someone with no proof is a weakness. I want to believe in a love without a form, until the day I finally feel love in my hands...!~"With that, Hoshimi let out a great, bright light beam from the magic knife with all of her might and shot it towards Ganondorf's heart!
The wizard frantically tried to struggle out of the chains one more time! But, it's too late! His atonement for all the wrongs he committed is now coming towards him! When the magic beam of light reached him, it skewered through his heart with enough power to give him great pain! "Graaaaaaaaah!" The monster cried out in agony when the light pierced him! He even lost his grasp on Thor's Trident as well!
Hoshimi looked at the glowing knife and another surprise is happening to her. It poured power on to her right hand as she held it with it. The top triangle glowed into a complete triangle instead of a half! All of the power from the Triforce of Power now belongs to her! This must have happened after she pierced Ganondorf with the knife's magic! Then, she declared to him. "Ganondorf, you are now finished! You're finally getting what's coming to you!"
The giant monster groaned. "This. . . This is impossible. . . This shouldn't be happening to me. . . . ! I was so close. . . To my goal. . . !"
Then, she spoke to him once more. "As Princess of Hylia, I hereby declare your punishment! The penalty for treason against my father is death!" She even showed him her complete Triforce mark in her hand!
"What?" He gasped. "You can't. . . . Your Triforce of Power is in complete form! You took my power when you used the knife?"
Hoshimi smirked. "You got that right, Sea Demon!" Then, she is preparing herself to deliver the final blow! Her magic began to build up and while she's at it, her sister, Zelda is doing the same thing! Her brothers drew their Four Swords and Shadow gave Hoshimi a little bit of light magic of his own!
Shining Link told the princess. "I'll do this with you and your family too!" He pulled out his Master Sword again as it shone brightly!
Hoshimi nodded warmly at him. "I'll be grateful." Then she had everyone grouping together. "Now, on my signal!" Once her orb of light is just the right size, she let Zelda give her share of power to hers. Next, she had her brothers mix in their swords' powers to the orb. Afterwards, with the little help Shadow can do to offer her, the power orb is ready!
Finally, by her signal, everyone let out a great shout of the spell's name! "SACRED TRIFORCE EXECUTION!" With all of their strength, they shot the orb of raw power towards the nearly finished wizard!
It definitely made a powerful impact on to his body and it engulfed him with a strong volt as it electrocuted him! "Gaaaaaaaah!" He cried out as the pain shot through him!
Hoshimi turned to the Prince and nodded, giving him the signal to finish him off! "Now!"
"Right!" So, with that he quickly swam over to the monster and made a great leap from the water! Then, with all of the might of the legendary Master Sword, he sliced the monster's torso completely in half!
After the Shining Link retreated back into the water, the wizard, Ganondorf is finally defeated! "NOOOOOO!" That was the last word he ever yelled out as he dispersed into a great cloud of force crystals, raining unto the sea. Among the force crystals are the crown and the trident, returning to normal as they sank down to the bottom of the sea, with a golden light shining brightly.
With the wicked wizard finally gone, Hoshimi, Hikaru, Link, Zelda, Blue, Red, Vio, and Shadow returned underwater to wait for the storm to die down.
Shining Link, however is already weary from battling and swimming as he swam ashore. It wasn't too long before he fainted upon the soft sand.
As the morning sun begins to rise, the storm subsided and the Great Sea is calm again. The storm clouds parted and the rain stopped falling.
From the Kingdom of Hyrule, everyone from inside the castle and down in Castle Town came out of their homes for that the coast is clear. Everyone is relieved that the storm has ceased.
From Hylia, everyone did the exact same thing when the waters are calm and tranquil again. Even the Six Maidens knew that the storm is gone after they relaxed their powers.
As for the trident and the crown, they safely sunk down to the spot where Thor is still a stone statue. The crown landed upon his head and the trident struck the spot of sand next to him. When the crown is at the right place again, the statue glowed and Thor is back to himself again! He looked around and about curiously of what happened. Then, he noticed the crown on his head! He just returned to normal thanks to it! After that, he looked down and saw his trident lying next to him. He picked it up and smiled. He is sure someone noble enough is able to bring him back to life.
"Your majesty!" Said Shrakah and Keir, swimming to him. From their spot, they've been watching the whole thing from underwater.
"Shrakah! Keir!" The King said gratefully. "What. . . What just happened?"
"Oh! He saved you! The Prince from Hyrule saved your life. . . And your trident and crown too!" Said the elder Mer-Sheikah.
Then, Keir added. "Not only, that. It's also Hoshimi who saved you."
Now, King Thor blinked at what they told him. "Hoshimi? The Prince of Hyrule? Saved a man like me?" Then, he noticed the Pearl of Din floating down on to his hand. He looked at it and began to realize what she had done for him this whole time. He even realized that there's still something he should be doing for her too.
Navi: Woah! That's quite a battle!
Blue: I was sooooo moved!
M.S.K: Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Red: Yay! Hoshimi did it!
Vio: I'm quite proud of her.
Zelda: Me too.
Shadow: And me.
Link: Plus, that was intense. You put a lot into it, didn't you.
M.S.K: (blushes) Yes, I have. Well, I hope you liked it too, out there! The next chapter is going to be the official conclusion to the story. I'll be seeing you there! So, review and comment, please! ^_^V
