Quote of the day: "Contraceptives in the rain. I love this planet. Still at least I won't get pregnant. I'm not doing that again." - Jack from Torchwood
Well I have the day off today, so I'm writing this up -sighed and put down video games-
Just kidding, I've been waiting to write this all week~
I'm sure Balthier and Vaan can wait for me.
And has anyone read the reviews for the last chapter? I was laughing my ass off, no one calls Shigen by his name anymore xD
Oh and I apologize in advance for all the breaks in this chapter. I'm horrible at writing battles...
Thanks to: KATZUNITED, Shylo, Tsuki Mei, Unlucky-angel13, Dark Link, and Dray Dray~ Oh and Pie san~ Cause I know you'll read it xD
Ryuk could feel the heat pulsing from the fire that Shigen held in his hand, the sickening heat made him want to curl up into a ball and cry. But he couldn't do that now that he was pinned, all he could do was stare up into Shigen's blank eyes and prepare for the end.
He waited a few seconds, half expecting the fire to come down and burn his face off, or rip his heart out, but much to his surprise, Shigen didn't move an inch.
"What the fuck are you waiting for? Weren't you gonna kill me?" Ryuk said, glaring up at his friend.
Shigen didn't even acknowledge his voice, instead he released him and swirled around, slashing at a figure that had been standing behind him a moment before.
Ryuk was quick to get on his feet, he backed away from Shigen as far as he could without getting too close to the dead creatures behind him.
Shigen wasn't looking at him, his back was turned on him, obviously Ryuk was no threat.
Ryuk could see the person who had interrupted his murder, he was facing Shigen and holding a familiar looking blade. "Hey shadow! Thanks for that!"
Kai was also ignoring him, the two men seemed locked in an epic staring contest of doom. And Ryuk had no intention of getting in their way.
He turned and ran in the direction that Rush had taken, pushing the dead out of his way, he was physically stronger than them, so it wasn't difficult to get them to move. I have to find the kid, save his ass, find the hero, steal his bow and shoot the bitch that started all this!
"You almost killed your boyfriend." Kai said darkly.
Shigen didn't seem phased, he dispersed the fire in his hand and crossed his arms, his appearance smug. "What makes you think I care about that child...?" He was eying Sulken blankly.
Kai flicked the sword toward his face. "Well it could be the tears on your face that are giving it away."
Shigen brushed them away quickly. "You are all wearing on my patience." There was a flash, and instead of holding a ball of fire, Shigen's hand was griping onto a fire sword. "I will have my prince kill you all on his own, I have important business to attend to." And then Shigen attacked.
Kai wasn't prepared for the speed, he blocked the blow aimed for his face and red sparks exploded off the blades.
The shadow barely had a chance to blink before Shigen was slashing at him again, this time going for his stomach.
With a maniacal laugh Kai jumped up and landed on the outstretched blade and stabbed toward Shigen's head.
Shigen saw this coming though and with a growl he used his sword to fling the shadow into the air, but Kai disappeared and reappeared right behind him. He felt Sulken cut through the flesh on his left arm hissed in pain, he jumped away from Kai and faced him again, not bothering to check the shallow wound.
Kai tapped Sulken against his open palm, a feral grin on his face. "I love the thrill of a fight don't you? There's nothing better than a bloody battle!"
Zeon knew he had a large amount of magical powers, though his talent was in healing magic, he was capable of putting up a good fight with any magic, but when there was a seemingly endless supply of dead coming at you, one would get concerned on how long they could last.
And right now his strength was leaving him. He had never used so much magic in so little time before. And as he became slower, he acquired more wounds, the smell of blood was drawing a lot of unwanted attention to him.
He spun another circle of fire around him, watching the dead turn to ash or fall to the ground quiet.
They would stop attacking for a few moments using the time to surround him before going in for the kill again.
Zeon sent out another blast, then stood in the middle of them waiting for the next wave, but something landed on his back and toppled him to the mossy ground, he was about to burn it to a crisp when-
"Wait! It's me!"
Kaichou flipped him over and smiled at him, there was a light coming from near by now, enabling him to see her. "Sorry it took so long to find you, we had a bit of trouble getting over here." She wiped some of the dirt of his filthy face with a scowl.
Zeon looked to his left and saw Xxeon in his wolf form snapping and biting at the creatures, on his right, Kyou was hacking arms and heads off, even though it wasn't helping much.
"Good thing you came too, I was getting tired, truthfully." Kaichou got off him and he sat up, rubbing the now bruised skin on his face. "You're not very gentle are you?" He asked her while getting to his feet and facing a clump of undead.
The light was getting brighter now.
Zeon shielded his eyes with his hand. "What the hell is that?"
The dead around them let out horrified screams and began running/walking in every direction.
Kaichou took hold of the back of Zeon's cape and dragged him out of the way before he got run over. "I think it might be the hero, I can see him coming."
Zeon followed her gazed and found that she was indeed correct. Link was coming towards them, his pace was slow, and it looked more like he was shambling than walking.
Kyou ran up beside them holding his hand and whimpering. "The light burns, we need to get out of the way." He held up his hand, he wasn't wearing gloves so his skin was unprotected, the flesh was red and swollen like it had been burnt.
They watched as dead creatures got to close to the holy light and were turned to dust, leaving not a trace behind.
Xxeon ran up to them, whining and trying to nudge them onto his back.
Zeon shook his head. "I will go over to him, you all get back as far as you can." And without waiting for an answer, he ran toward the light.
The light didn't hurt him at all, if he were to say anything about it, he would say it was almost nice to be engulfed by it. It was warm and made him want to close his eyes and take a long well earned nap. So Vii was not joking when she said he had strange powers.
When he came to a stop a few feet away from the hero, he could see that his eyes were half closed.
"Link? Little brother?" Zeon walked a bit closer and reached out, his fingertips barely brushing the hero's arm.
Link's eyes made their way to Zeon's, he looked tired. "There's so much power, I don't know how to get rid of it." He closed his eyes and chuckled. "I said I wanted some light to see and I get the fucking sun."
"I think the magic is reacting to your emotions." Zeon said, clasping Link's hands in his own. "Try to calm down."
Link nodded and took a deep breath. The light around them began to dim until it was swallowed up completely, and the two men were left, once again, in darkness.
"Thanks Zeon, I'm not really good with magic." Even though he couldn't see a thing, he could tell his brother was smiling.
"No problem... Well actually, there is still a problem, now we can not see a damn thing."
"You..." Lore couldn't believe her eyes, standing in front of her was the Evil King Ganondorf himself.
She quickly composed herself and smiled at him. "Weren't you defeated by some child a while ago?"
Ganondorf laughed a throaty laugh. "And so says the official documents. But the only people who know the truth are me Link and Kai." He walked toward her and looked out the window, watching the chaos below.
"The first time Link defeated me, I was forced into the sacred realm. But I still had my Triforce, and it didn't take long to break out. The second time I faced him, he refused to kill me, and kindly kicked my ass, sending me home to the Gerudo Valley."
Lore reached up and caressed Ganondorf's face lovingly. "And so you have come to watch the hero fall, have you?"
Both of them watched as the light from the Triforce of Courage dissipated.
"There goes their only chance of defeating you. Some people are such idiots." Ganondorf embraced her. "You are such an evil person."
Lore purred at the comment. "You love it."
Ryuk lashed out and punched another undead with a growl.
"Get out of my fucking way before I bite you're asses off!"
"Ew..."
Without thinking, he turned around and punched whoever was behind him.
There was a very wolf like yelp followed by a curse.
Ryuk looked down to see Xxeon staring up at him, wiping blood off his now split lip.
"Nice going Ryuk!" Kaichou smashed one of the dead creatures head in and looked at him with a frown.
"Well he shouldn't fucking sneak up behind someone like that!" He punched another dead thing, letting out all his frustration on it.
Kyou grabbed his hands and looked at them. "How are these fairing?"
Ryuk flexed his fingers, surprised that they weren't hurting at all. Must be too worked up from the fight.
"They're fine." He took his hands back from him.
"Where is your bow? Did you loose it?" Xxeon was in protective mode now, he looked at Ryuk waiting for an answer.
"Um, yeah, I dropped it."
Kaichou sighed. "Go find Link then, he has a bow! And he's safe to go near again." She whacked another dead thing as soon as it got too close.
Xxeon grabbed him by the shoulders and looked into his eyes intensely. "You saw the amulet on Lore right? You can destroy it, the sooner you do that, the sooner this battle will end. Once her minions are dead, all that's left is her. I believe she'll even loose her hold on your mate."
Ryuk's face burned, but he tried to ignore the comment. "I know that! Just point the way to the elf then."
Xxeon looked toward the castle. "They should be right in front of the entrance, that's the last place I saw the light coming from."
Ryuk nodded. "Okay, I'll go then, but you all need to do me a favor. I need you to go after the vampire kid, we were separated and I can't find him."
Kaichou huffed. "We don't have time to babysit Ryuk."
"Just fucking do it!" He said while running as fast as he could toward the castle. Hold on shadow, don't die, I'll get Shiwi back to normal soon!
To say Rush was confused would be an understatement.
He thought his day was going badly when the battle started, but then he saw his dead master... and things got worse.
He was running after Seker, jumping on top of all of the dead creatures so he didn't have to push through them.
He wanted to know how Seker was alive after he had seen the Haniam rip his heart out.
Is he a vampire now? Or one of these dead things?
Seker reached a clearing and finally stopped, turning to look at Rush who had entered right behind him.
"Master?" Rush resisted the urge to run up and hug the older man.
Seker responded by running at him with his newly acquired claws raised, ready to slice Rush's throat open, when suddenly he was tackled to the ground by a huge wolf.
"Hey you stupid kid!" He was quickly placed in a choke hold by the crazy Kaichou woman. "You're an idiot for leaving Ryuk, you know that?"
"Don't...hurt him..." He managed to say quietly.
Xxeon whimpered and laid down on top of the struggling dead Seker.
Kaichou released Rush and Kyou came over to pat the kid on the head. "You do know that he will die when Lore is defeated right?"
Rush nodded. "I'm aware, I just... don't want to..." He struggled, trying to find the words. "I don't want to see him ripped up, I think he'd rather die in one piece."
"He'll be dying in one piece soon enough, once Ryuk destroys that amulet." Kaichou looked up at the sky, her eyes widened when she noticed the moon's glow for the first time, the light was giving them all a clear view of what was left of Lore's minions.
There looked to be about only a hundred left, most of them were closer to the castle, most likely still attacking the hero and the others.
Rush sat down on the ground, his back leaning against Xxeon's side.
Kyou and Kaichou threw their weapons to the ground and sat on either side of him.
"And so comes the end of Lore, the evil queen of Kaithlaka." Rush said chuckling. "Tomorrow should be a good day."
"Hey Link!" Ryuk yelled out to the hero who was battling fiercely with a scary looking blob of walking flesh.
Link spun around, the moonlight was enabling him to see, but he could still just barely make the young man out. "Ryuk, watch our backs, me and Zeon are going to break through the front doors and meet Lore. We might be able to find the source of her power if we do that." He turned just in time to set an attacking undead on fire.
"I already know where her power source is! Just give me your fucking bow so I can shoot it already!"
Link pulled the bow off his back and handed it to Ryuk, giving him a few arrows with it. "Are you going to be able to pull it back without breaking it? I thought your bow was specially made for you?"
Zeon crashed into him. "Sorry! The bastard I was fighting was stronger than I expected." He got up and pulled Link to his feet. "Go Ryuk, we'll cover you, I know you can do it."
Both the elves started attacking with magic, this time more violently then before.
Ryuk pulled the bow back a couple times to test how much it could handle. Not the strongest thing in the world, but it will do the trick.
He nocked an arrow and activated his power.
Ganondorf's hand reached up to cup Lore's cheek. "It's almost done now. Shigen will kill Kai, Link and his brother are almost ready to be captured, and the others have ran away."
"I will have my prince track them down and kill them later, for now we should celebrate this victory." She leaned up to kiss him, but Ganondorf pushed her away.
"Hold on, let's take one more look, we need to burn the image of this victory into our minds."
Lore chuckled and followed his lead, looking out the window to the battle right below.
The hero and his brother did indeed look tired, they were attacking everything in sight.
Except...
Lore gasped and tried to back away but Ganondorf held her still.
"What are you doing?" She demanded, about to raise her hands and cast a spell on him, but he held her arms down.
"What does it look like? I'm being a villain, and what do villains do?" He kissed her on the cheek. "They betray each other. In the end, I will be the one who reigns over all evil, not you Lore."
The deafening sound of an arrow striking glass cut her off.
Kai was a shadow, so in sense he wasn't able to get tired, but he was getting bored.
He had several large gashes and burns on his arms and legs which he didn't have enough time to heal.
Shigen wasn't in much better shape, but Kai had tried his best to be gentle since he knew it would take a while for the emo to heal.
"Are you ready to stop yet?" Kai pointed Sulken at it's wielders face.
Shigen answered by running at him, but just as the Haniam was about to strike, he threw his sword away and tackled the shadow to the ground in a hug.
"What the hell? Okay! Death by hug is not on my list!"
"I don't give a damn.... I want a hug that has nothing to do with boobs okay...?"
Kai could have cried at the sound of the Shigen's voice. "You mean you hugged something with boobs? That's just sick Shiwi."
"Call me that again and I'll bite you..." Shigen nipped at his neck threateningly. "And yes... I was hugged by something with boobs... and she was my aunt... And she liked to fuck me... a lot..."
"TMI! TMI!" Kai covered his ears and shook his head. "Ew! Ew! Ew! Oh god!"
Shigen chuckled and pet him on the head. "Yeah.. I think it's time for revenge..." He stood up and helped Kai to his feet.
Around them the area was silent, all of Lore's minions were dead... for good this time.
Kai whistled. "I guess it's time to give you back this." He said handed Shigen his precious Sulken. "I had fun using it, though I never did figure out how to use those little blades at the tip."
Shigen laid the flat of the blade against his forehead with a sigh. "Do you want to see how it's done...?"
Ganondorf's laugh echoed out into the quiet land, making Link jump and look up in surprise. "Ganondorf?"
Ryuk trotted up beside him. "I was surprised myself to see the bastard, but he held Lore down so I could hit my target."
"Is he a friend of yours?" Zeon asked, looking up at the scary man.
Link laughed nervously. "Something like that."
"Hey hero! A little birdy told me to push her out the window, so here you go!"
Link didn't have time to react before Lore was shoved out the window with the scream, hitting the ground with a thump.
The three men walked over to see if she was still alive, and much to their dismay, she was. The arrow which had already pierced her chest was now sticking out her back, and her left arm and leg were broken and twisted into a grotesque manner.
Ganondorf floated down from the window still chuckling. This is the most fun I've had in years!"
Lore coughed, spraying blood onto the ground. "You bastards, I kill you."
Link watched unamused as she struggled to sit up.
"Just fucking die already." Ryuk said nocking another arrow and aiming it at her face.
Link pushed his arm down and shook his head. "You don't need to stain your hands with her blood Ryuk."
Lore laughed, but it son turned into a cough. "You're very stupid hero." She raised her hand and prepared a spell.
"And you thrust you're sword in..."
She was cut off by Shigen who had shoved Sulken into her stomach before she could breath a word.
"And pull out..."
He wrenched back the sword, the little blades opening up and ripping her stomach contents out.
Lore choked, her face going deathly white, he couldn't even scream.
"And thrust..."
This time the sword was shoved into her heart.
"And pull out..."
Zeon had to turn away before he became sick.
"And you keep repeating this until you reach satisfaction..."
Kai stood next to Link fanning himself. "Fuck, if he wasn't talking about killing her, I'd be extremely turned on right now."
Ryuk shivered. "Shadow, just no, you're fucking sick."
All of them jumped when Shigen suddenly threw Sulken aside.
Link placed a hand on the Haniam's shoulder. "Is something wrong Shigen?"
Shigen didn't answer him, instead he walked very quickly over to Ryuk and scooped him up into his arms, sealing their lips in a long kiss.
Link covered Zeon's eyes and Kai fanned all of them.
"Fuck that's hot. I can't wait to get home and do that to you hero."
Link blushed. Oh right... the wedding....
After a while, Shigen decided it was time to stop. He reluctantly released Ryuk's lips, but he kept holding the younger man in his arms. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do that..."
Ryuk's eyes were wide, and he seemed to be at a loss for words.
"What the fuck?"
Well... every word except his favorite one.
And so Lore is dead! -did a happy dance-
I personally enjoyed Ganondorf pushing her out the window, I think he should listen to little birdy's more often.
Yeah... and the battle was short, really it would have lasted for about an hour, but I would be here forever, and I have to go prom shopping in an hour! So I'm very sorry !
