LoZ! GX – Chapter: Majora's Wrath PT 2

On one knee, Zelda held her left arm, and struggled to get on her feet. She slowly looked up, clutching her teeth, and saw Link's face. It was Majora…not Link. But the face was smiling, laughing in pleasure at Zelda's pain.

"Silly girl. It's funny how you think this is all up to you! You don't choose to win, fate does. And I believe fate has betrayed you." Majora said laughing in Link's voice.

"Be still!" Zelda hissed, "Finish your turn."

She commanded him out of anger. Majora was greatly amused by it all.

"Hmm…well now since I've played Majora's Chamber, I play a continuous spell called Chains of Twilight; so all monsters on my side of the field cannot be destroyed. That's all I can do for now, Hylian." Majora crossed Link's arms casually and looked upon a disgruntled Zelda.

Zelda took her standby draw, and looked at her hand, "I play a spell called River of Entewya!"

"What?" That name…Entewya! Where have I heard it before? …she was…a Zora.

"En-Entewya?" Majora repeated nervously.

"Yes, that's right, now for the price of 'I can't summon a monster this turn,' I can maximize my life points from 2100 to 4000 again!"

"Okay…that was foolish of you, petty Hylian. My next turn, summoning monster, attacking you with them, plus Igos Du Ikana on my field already," Majora listed, "You'll be a goner next go round without defense!"

"Hmmhmm…" Zelda hummed smiling, which confused Majora.

She was up to something! She pulled another card form her hand and slapped it on the duel disk.

"I play a spell called Aid from Nayru. As long as I have water attributed monsters in my grave, half of one of the monsters attack points are taken as damage to you!" Zelda pointed at Majora, directing a blue light to him.

"Clever, so you managed to use only half of a Zora's power against me," Majora made Link smile evilly as he lost 6oo points of damage, "You'll have to do much better than that! You still have no defense…"

"No, maybe not. But I have other tricks up my sleeve. I play a facedown, and end my turn." Zelda smiled.

She's obviously got a trap there; hmm…I have nothing to negate it. Nothing at all…nothing at all…wait!

"I normal summon Goht, Masked Mechanical Bull! Attack, now!" Majora fiercely yelled.

"Mistake," Zelda simply said as a reply.

"Go ahead! Play your trap! I have one of my own!" Majora urged.

"Too bad, mine's Death Sword." Zelda smirked.

"No!" Majora interjected, disappointed.

Zelda crossed her arms and gained a smug look, "So you can do nothing to prevent Death Sword's effect from taking place!"

Now that the field was clear of any monster, spell, or trap, Zelda saw a second opportunity. She would seize it, and she would win this duel, and by the end of the day, Link would be in her arms, and she'd go on being happy with him, and maybe even…

She looked over. Zane lay silently, and Jaden cared for him there. They watched the duel with interest, and Jaden asked something, noticing an event Zelda hadn't.

"What's going on?" Jaden asked.

"You'll find out soon enough, pathetic human!" Majora yelled.

"Take the rest of your turn!" Zelda commanded.

"Hehe…" He appreciated her audacity, "I play Sonata of Awakening, and you know what that does! I summon Gyorg!"

"Why him?" It didn't make sense to Zelda to summon Gyorg since he couldn't attack…

"So now I can play Spirit-Switch-Up! I'm glad you asked; now Gyorg is sent to the graveyard, and I replace him with a different spirit monster, Masked Beast Odolwa!" (2100)

"He'll only be sent back, though." Zelda stated.

"But that doesn't mean I can't attack before he does! Go Odolwa!"

Odolwa charged at Zelda, sword in hand, and slashed her down hard.

"AH!" She got weak in the knees and fell once again.

Zelda clutched her chest and could feel that something hurt unnaturally horribly.

It's the duel! She realized, what is it doing to me? …Is this-Is this what Link felt all this time?

"Haha! Kneeling before me again, are we?" Majora put Link's hands on his hips and laughed more evilly.

I am really getting sick of this, Zelda thought as she picked herself up.

"Never," Zelda replied.

"You see, you poor Hylian girl," Majora reached out to her, "it isn't up to you. It never is."

From Link's hand a dark aura fell out and stretched across the field to Zelda, and formed into a hand. It gently touched her face and stroked her cheek.

"You are under a certain delusion. Let go of this, and just face the fact that you cannot win this, because it isn't meant to be." Majora said in Link's sweet voice.

After getting over astonishment, Zelda slapped Majora's hand away and yelled, "Don't touch me!"

"Zelda!" Jaden called, "Look at the masks!"

The event he'd noticed that caused him to ask what was going on. Goht and Gyorg were floating out of their spots. They were…glowing, and they flew around the area.

"What is this?" Zelda asked looking around, "Majora!" She demanded.

"It is your brother's doing." Majora smiled.

"What…no," She whispered, "You're lying to me!"

"You see," Majora started, "Link isn't trying to fight his destiny like you are, he is fighting you with me. It's his brain and spirit bringing the darkness needed to the Masked Beasts here, and he will truly bring an amazing finale! And in the end, he'll be ruling beside me, not with you. A sister who always had the better over him, the sister who didn't care enough for her brother, that she'd leave him for a boyfriend! And worse than that, a pathetic, disgusting, and ignorant human!"

This left Zelda silent…did Link really feel like that? How could he? It didn't sound like it before…that day in the nurse's place. He made it clear she was the most important thing ever to him, but…was it an act? Or…was it only at that moment! Majora is right! She was with Zane more than Link when he was around…how could she do that?

"Zelda," Zane's tired voice rang out, "Don't listen to him, I know what you're thinking, and you're wrong…" Zane told her.

"I think he's right, too." Jaden said, "Now win this duel! Win it for your…ori?" Jaden turned to Zane, who nodded, "Ori!"

Zelda slightly smiled.

"Good luck," Majora mumbled, "Your go anyway."

Now Odolwa was doing the same thing Gyorg and Goht were doing since he was sent to the graveyard, but now was her chance! Majora was defenseless with no facedowns or anything!

Zelda took her standby phase, and before she could play it, Majora continued on with his previous harangue.

"No…go ahead and try to reach out to him, try and sing a sad little song that brings back sweet childhood memories, that is, until they were crushed by the big sister, and her…well her crushes! Go on and try bringing your 'Ori' back to you. Face it! In this world, your brother is as good as dead."

"Silence!" Zelda covered her ears.

"Zelda, don't let him enter your mind or heart. Keep him out; don't let him get to you. Remember, he likes playing mind games."

"I know, I won't Zane, I promise." Zelda said.

"There you go again! Putting him before your beloved brother!" Majora coaxed, but Link looked serious, "No wonder he felt so betrayed and sad all the time."

"I would never!" Zane really listened carefully now, "My brother comes before anybody on this earth and between these worlds! He is the greatest person that I've ever met, and I love him, and I will die before leaving his side! I would destroy millions of Hylians just to protect him! So don't you dare tell me how he feels about me, or what I do to him, because we are Hylian siblings and we are inseparable!"

Majora smiled slightly, "Wow, that's quite the speech you just gave me there."

"Now, if you're done talking on, I summon a Goron in ATK mode!" (2000), "Attack! And don't hold back!"

"Neat little rhyme there, but that's gonna have to wait. Come forth, Gyorg. You're so predictable."

Gyorg's mask flew in front of the Goron taking Majora's hit for him. Majora became a darker shade of color in Link's body; his skin was almost as brown as tree bark. Above his body, a circle appeared glowing white along the circumference, and exactly one fourth was colored neon blue.

"What's that?" Zelda asked.

"Gyorg is gone," Majora replied simply, "Now that's he's been removed from play, you are one step closer from meeting your doom! HAHA!" Majora laughed on.

So that is what he can do? Use the masks to block Zelda's attacks? Well, how will she find a way around it all? Is it even possible that he's planning…?
