Author's Note: For those that have been faithful, thank you. But then you know I was talking about an "evil Master Sword" LONG before Skyward Sword brought it up. Originally the Tyrant Sword was supposed to look exactly like the Master Sword but with a Red handle and inverted Triforce. Now it looks like Demise's sword for continuance's sake
Still enjoy
The Sacred Grove
The entire castle was in uproar as well as all of Castle Town. Princess Zelda was taken by Ganondorf and who knows what was happening to her. Faust prepared the multitude of soldiers to go to the West and link up with Viktor's newly created forces that he "designed" just for this. Link and the other heroes however, had other plans.
Link ran into Zelda's chambers acting on her psychic message to him. He was stopped before entering by Solomon. "What are you doing?" he asked before Link ran past him while Shin, Sieg, and Kyle stopped him from pursuing. "Hi" he said in a monotone voice. He could hear that Link was looking for something, apparently a diary. "Try her lingerie drawer" Solomon suggested much to Link's anger. "If I was a woman with her knowledge I'd hide something of that importance right where everyone would be too honorable to look" Solomon defended.
After a moment of silence Link gave an answer, "Found it". There was yet another pause though, "Right where you said" he answered. The others could tell he was embarrassed, especially after Kyle teased if he was enjoying the Princess's Double D collection.
Kyle couldn't help but be humorous; still he wondered how Solomon would have guessed that perfectly. "So what do you do?" Kyle asked hoping to investigate further until Link returned. He was displeased when Solomon's answer was "I buttle".
Shin surprisingly continued, "Do anything else?" with his Dragon Eyes trained right on Solomon. But with much surprise, his answer was completely honest "Yes, things I'm not at liberty to share with you". All three here a little surprised but brushed it off when Link returned and his honesty proved reliable.
Link guided the team to the outside where soldiers were leaving for the West to combat Ganondorf. He stated the diary told them the Sacred Grove was located in the Eastern Providence near the Lost Woods. "Right where it all began for us, ironic isn't it?" Sieg said as he snapped his fingers. Instantly a vector symbol large enough to hold all four of them up lifted them off the ground and sped them right to the Lost Woods in seconds activated. Everyone looked at Sieg for an explanation. "Vector Platte spell, if I've been there before this arrow will shoot us right there" he explained as they ventured into the Lost Woods to find the Sacred Grove and claim the fabled Master Sword.
At the Pyramid, Ganondorf walk alongside a floating pink crystal that housed Princess Zelda. He was happy with his prize as she hovered in boredom staring daggers at him. "Didn't think you'd see me again after you and that punk screwed me over back then didn't you little Ms. Smarty Princess?" he mocked.
Ganondorf's loyal cadre just stared at the princess, it wasn't long before Bob asked what they were all thinking, "Why aren't you killing, torturing, raping, bothering, or anything her?" he asked. Ganondorf defense was he wanted her to see what he had in store for her precious hero. Bob knew what this really meant, "So you just don't want any more crap added to our charges when we get defeated huh?"
Ganondorf stared for a second as he saw the captured Puck snicker, "Alright zip it Bob" he ordered.
Princess Zelda just looked at Puck, "Is it me, or is that sarcastic Bokoblin WAY smarter than everyone else here?" she asked.
"ENOUGH!" Ganondorf ordered as he led everyone into a chamber. It was dark and the air was heavy but in all the darkness, one thing scared the tomboyish Princess more than anything. "Princess Zelda, meet the one and only twin of the Master Sword: The Tyrant Sword" Ganondorf explained as he pointed to the sword in the middle on the chamber housed in the pedestal It looked exactly like the Master Sword of legend yet it's handle was reddish rusty not blue and the Triforce symbol was inverted in the upside down position while the blade was FAR more menacing. "Everything about your precious Master Sword I know you sent the brat to get is exactly the same with this sword. With this, I will carve your beloved hero up and take my revenge" he continued. "Oh, and YOUR going to help me use it" he ended with a maniacal laugh that all his minions comically copied. "Alright enough!"
Back in the Lost Woods, Link and Kyle were realizing how UNfun it is to cut your way through a potentially living forest. "Weren't we just here like a week ago?" Sieg complained as Shin jumped up looking for more monsters. In his opinion, the monsters would guard the one weapon that they feared.
"Link, how will we know when we find it? I mean no one has ever seen the Master Sword how would we now if we found it?" Kyle asked as he used his Flame Rune Blade to burn down some moving shrubs. He realized Link wasn't paying attention to him so we decided to get his attention, "Don't worry, Ganondorf isn't going to "touch" your precious princess in any way, not his MO so be at attention soldier" he ordered.
Link realized his he was right, yet he wouldn't be outdone, "Yeah, I shouldn't be worried, like you and Elle right?" he deduced. However as soon as he brought that up he found a flaming rune blade at the tip of his nose and an order of silence in his face. Link stopped seeing he was going into dangerous territory with his technical direct superior. "Still what worries me is this hasn't look like Ganondorf's MO from the start" he revealed to the team.
Shin and Sieg stopped dead in their tracks, "Could you repeat that last part? The part about the guy we're fighting isn't the guy the Gods sent us to fight not Kyle's loving relationship with the one woman who appears to want to kick his ass" Shin asked.
Link walk toward a clearing which appeared to be the entrance to the Sacred Grove, "I mean, I think someone else is using Ganondorf's attack to their own designs. Things aren't adding up, Han's assassination and the strange happenings in Hyrule aren't matching his interest in the Pyramid. It just seems off, like…" Link began
"…Like our "Evil that cuts the Gods' influence from the Mortal Realm" is behind it all" Sieg finished. Link gave a nod as all four entered the entrance to the Sacred Grove.
Over at another section of Hyrule, one guard started to complain to his partner that they were stuck guarding stuff when everyone else left to fight. He continued to bicker until all fell quiet…too quiet. His partner turned to see him dead and The General swing a mighty Mace right at his face killing him instantly. The General walked forward alongside Zauber, "Alright, let's hurry this up, I feel dumber every time I get close to these hicks" Zauber complained as they left to complete an unknown task.
Ganondorf meanwhile was having a MUCH better time broadcasting his victory to come all over Hyrule like he did previously. He pulled out Princess Zelda's left hand and cut her palm with his kopesh knowing full well all of Hyrule could see what he was doing to her. "Now being!" he yelled to Puck as the Princess struggled to fight back against the King of Evil. He dipped the Princess's blood on the Tyrant Sword's handle and Puck was forced to chant a spell. "Now, all is MINE!" Ganondorf yelled as he grasped the sword and pulled.
However, after a second of nothing happening, Ganondorf was flung across the chamber by an invisible force. It was clear, the Tyrant Sword did not except him. "Someone wasn't worthy" Puck playfully sung.
Cain then stepped forward out of the shadows and walked toward the Tyrant Sword. "You truly are foolish aren't you?" he asked to everyone's surprise. "True, you are evil, yet you are still a chosen champion of the Gods" he explained as he easily slid the sword out its place and pointed it straight at everyone. "You got to have nothing but hatred inside you to properly wield this blade" he sternly said as the Shadow appeared.
The Shadow laugh continuously at the failure of Ganondorf, "Looks like you failed before you even began "Great King of Evil", but you can join us and redeem yourself by our leader's side" he offered to all of Hyrule's confusion.
Link's crew were having a better time, there were no monsters keeping heroes away from the Master Sword! As it turns out, they were all dead, killed recently Shin deduced. Just as they were beginning to worry, Link stopped dead in the chamber that the Master Sword was housed. He looked to the shadows and began sweating, more so then he did when he saw Viktor. "I know this feeling, the scariest, monstrous feeling of…" he ended.
Just as all the heroes braced for a fight, a man that appeared to be in his late forties appeared behind the Master Sword with a stern smile on his face. He looked right at Link, "took your time idiot apprentice" he joked leaning on the sword.
"MASTER LUCAS!" Link screamed as he tremble waiting for an inevitable attack.
Shin and Sieg were a little surprised, not at Link's master but at Kyle confused look. "When the warrior Lucas took Link as his apprentice ten years ago, I was there and I saw what he looked like" Kyle explained. "And that man had to be in his sixties" he barely got out. This made the others grasp their weapons expecting an attack.
Lucas then withdrew the Master Sword from the pedestal and simply held it, "This is proof I am no enemy" he explained. True, no evil could touch the Master Sword, but only a chosen champion of the Gods could actually use it, someone like Link, Sieg, or Shin. Lucas saw the confusion and simply chuckled, "You didn't honestly think you guys were their first chosen champions did you?" he asked causing the four to stand in amazement.
Ganondorf stared at the shadow being who mocked his failure and boasted his master's organization before him. After a moment, the Great King of Evil delivered his answer NEVER removing his calm face: "Hey, fuck you, fuck your boss, fuck your boss's organization, fuck the fourth wall, fuck Ghirahim, fuck Veran, fuck General Onyx, fuck Zant, fuck Majora, fuck Shredder, fuck Aizen, fuck Disney Blackbeard and One Piece Blackbeard, fuck Madara-Tobi-or whatever that masked guy is calling himself, fuck Bowser, fuck Dracula, and fuck whoever else this fanfic villain is based off of" he answered much to the Shadow's and Princess Zelda's shock, hell everyone was shocked at that form of answer.
However, Ganondorf was not done with his rant. "Do you know who I am? I am GANONDORF, the Great King of Evil. I make the Top Video Game Villains of all-time list in the top five all the stinkin' time. There's a reason I'm ALWAYS in a LoZ game. The only guys who beat me consistently is Sephiroth and Lucifer, and I'm NOT kidding myself think I can out beat them in charisma! So you can talk all big about your fanfic villain that took 16 chapters to actually make his move and shit, it don't make no difference to me" he ranted. "Hey, how about this, how about YOU guys join ME? I'll be a benevolent…ish dictator to you" Ganondorf ended.
Cain could only shake his head at this. "Please tell me Leader got all that" he asked the shadow as it nodded gleefully. Cain then put up one finger indicating his master was answering.
Without warning the sound of a sword swipe filled the chamber…and a third of the Pyramid came sliding down basking the chamber in the harsh desert sun and into the view of the armies. Ganondorf certainly did NOT expect that kind of power. With that answer, Cain used a scroll and requiped something…he summoned the other Brotherhood Elites into the chamber and they stood before them prepared to carry out their orders. Cain looked right at Ganondorf, "Kill them" is all he said as the General and Stallord charged forward slaughtering all the goblin guards that stood between them and their targets.
Back at the Sacred Grove, Link looked to his master, "Master what do you mean, YOU'RE a chosen one as well, and how can you revert your age?" he asked until his master threw him the Master Sword.
"Look, I was the second hero chosen a VERY long time ago" Lucas explained. He also got mad when Kyle compared master and apprentice by names "Luke and Link". "CONTINUING; I was the second of "The Seven", I swore to defend the first with my life, Hylia was her name. At one point in our crusade we gathered more heroes until the Gods gave us our seventh member. He told me to create a sword of good and evil to maintain balance. You have to stop that sword from leaving the Pyramid stupid" he explained.
Lucas could see Link wanted to ask him more but he continued. "Listen, I guess by now you've figured out Ganondorf's not behind a lot of this crap. He only wants the Sword but he can't touch it given his "chosen" status. Someone is using him to get it, whoever he is, I've been able to deduce that he wields the "Triforce Void" the inverted center of the Triforce, understand?" he explained seeing that they were starting to understand. "That single piece has the negative power of ALL three pieces of the Triforce kid, in short it makes whoever is behind this VERY powerful, and he's collected the evil members of the chosen trios" he ended
Link looked at his master, "But what happened to your "Seven" group, Triforce Void, and Tyrant Sword. WHAT IS GOING ON?"
Lucas lowered his head, "I'll explain it all later, but you guys have got enemies collected up in one spot, and a girl to save so get to work dumbass" he said as he made all four disappear. He then looked to the sky where the image of the Pyramid's chamber showed Ganondorf's battle. "In ever trio, there is one that is evil. Was there an evil in my group as well?" he questioned himself. "Man, I wish you were here Hylia, you always knew what to do"
Link and the other were transported right next to Cain, or more precisely, right next to the Tyrant Blade. As Link quickly clashed with Cain, both were able to deduce that Lucas being the creator of the Tyrant and Master swords had both of them registered to his requip magic and simply requip Link's group to the blade.
Both groups broke into different sides of the room as Link freed Princess Zelda. Sieg and Shin stared down their counterparts as Kyle illuminated his blade. Both sides were prepared to finish things here and now.
Moe simply stared at the two groups with Ganondorf and the rest of his cadre. "So, who's side are we on?"
