Oni-Gannon loomed over the group with fire red eyes that trailed lines of crimson fire wherever he turned.
"We've got a slight problem!" Tatl said and the rest of the crowd just nodded
The beast opened its maw and released a spewing of red flames that engulfed the area around them. Link and Dark Link were the first to make their move rushing up to the legs of the beast and cutting them with their swords but their swords just clinked off the thick hide of the beast. The girls came in next and released the full might of their weapons on various points of Oni-Gannon.
"It's like trying to take out a mountain!" Buttercup shouted angrily
"What are we supposed to do?" Bubbles said freezing the feet of the beast. The beast didn't even seem to notice as he just lifted up a giant foot and shattered the ice that formed at the base.
Each footstep was an earthquake and every breath was a hot whirlwind it was the essence of power taken a physical form. It let out a roar and the hair around its body stood on end and shot like bullets into the surrounding area. The group just managed to get out of the way.
Link withdrew the force shards and red armor that had had and powered himself up, removing the master sword from his sheathe he aged to seventeen and attacked the beast with all his strength. On his arms appeared the golden gauntlets as well as the numerous power bracelets he had received over the course of his adventures. He grabbed hold of the base of the giant creature and lifted it in the air gruntingly. He tossed it behind himself and jumped with his sword to slash the giant creature in the stomach as it flew.
He put all his momentum into his sword and used all the strength he could muster but all that could be heard was a loud TING and Oni-Gannon flew to the ground sending up a mass of dust and debris. Link landed and everyone held their breath but all that came was a sinister laugh.
"That felt like a small fly may have landed on my stomach!" Came the thunderous voice of Oni-Gannon and its red eyes shone from the settling dust.
Everyone just stared in disbelief and the Links fell to the ground in despair, "I was foolish to try and give up my destiny!" Link stated with tears coming down his face, "Now everything is in danger just because I was selfish."
"Selfish!?" Blossom stated angrily
"Link you saved our world and millions of others…." Buttercup started
"WELL A FAT LOT A GOOD THAT DID ME! ONI-GANNON IS JUST GOING TO DESTROY THOSE WORLDS WHEN HE'S DONE HERE!" Link yelled angrily
"What about the arrow of light?" Came a familiar voice behind the group
They turned to see Shiek standing there with a large white and ornately decorated bow that had a beam of pure light within its string. Shiek let loose the arrow which flew through the air and found its mark at the center of the beast's skull. The arrow embedded itself just under the flesh of the creature but had little affect.
At this even the Powerpuffs fell to the ground having lost all hope, "This is a bigger stain to get rid of than I thought." Shiek said calmly
"You need…", "The arrow…", "Of the goddesses!" Came three sequential voices
The group looked up and saw Din, Nayru and Farore standing before them.
"Isn't it a little late for that?" Dark Link asked coldly
"It is never too late." Din said
"For those with a pure desire can accomplish much," Nayru continued
"With the powers that you possess." Farore finished
"Well obviously our power is not enough!" Link said angrily
"True your power is…" Din started
"Weak by itself but…" Nayru continues
"That's why you need more of it." Farore finished
Blossom got an idea look on her face and smiled brightly as she ran in front of the three sages and turned to face the group.
"You all remember when we first faced Ganon and used our inner strength to produce the arrow of light for Link?" She stated
"Uh, I think everyone remembers that!" Buttercup said looking off to the side annoyed
"Well what if we got the whole world to use their inner strength to help us defeat Oni-Gannon?"
Everyone looked at each other, "How are we gonna do that?" Bubbles asked slightly more optimistic.
"Simple," Blossom stated, "We're going to use the World's Emergency Broadcasting System!" Blossom stated.
After the events that had taken place, an array of speakers and projectors had been tactfully installed around the world. These towers would fire smoke bombs into the air and block out the sun while high powered projectors projected the emergency status in each country's native language. At that time it was planned that there would be a world emergency center in every country but as of yet the only place that had access to it was the Foundation.
"We will distract Oni-Gannon while you make the call!" Link and Dark Link said in unison and each one picked up their Deity masks and put them on.
"Professor! Ken! Poochie!" The girls yelled into their communicators as the Professor's face fizzed into view.
"Girls what's going on there is a huge red cloud forming on the surface of that planet?" Was his first question
"We have no time to explain now we need to have access to the World Emergency Broadcasting System!" Blossom stated quickly hearing the sound of swords clanging in the background
"What!? WEBS hasn't even been fully tested yet there is no way you can get access to that now!" Ken said from the side
"We don't have a choice Professor!" Bubbles stated
"Yeah it's either that or the world gets destroyed!" Buttercup added
"Well that is kinda what it was made for." The Professor said putting his hand behind his back. He hesitated for a moment, "OK, but you'll need to explain to the UN why you used it without getting permission first." And with that the Professor grabbed a small key and placed it into the computer console in front of him.
He turned the key and a small door flipped open with a large red button that read, "WEBS" and he slammed down on the button.
Around the world a loud siren echoed. Every nation and people looked towards the WEBS towers to see a flurry of smoke bombs fly into the air and block the sun like a giant cloud. A loud whirring ensued and upon the clouds appeared Blossom's face.
"People of earth. We now face a threat worse than any the world has had to face ever in its past." The camera turned to show Oni-Gannon and the two Deities fighting, "That is Oni-Gannon a creature of pure evil… he will destroy us." There was a gasp that could be heard around the world. "We, the Powerpuff Girls Z and Link and Drake have been fighting this creature and are unable to overcome it. We need your help. Look to the people around you think about the people you care about or whatever you care about, they will all be destroyed if we can't unite together to defeat this foe." A small echo of a cheer shattered the worldwide silence, "We need you hope, your friendship, your forgiveness, your love, and your light. We need it from each one of you from the criminals to the cops from the rich to the poor everyone needs to help us or…," A small tear fell down her cheek, "There won't be a world left for any of us."
An earth shattering cheer came and pierced the emptiness of space and resounded in the ears of the Powerpuffs and even Oni-Gannon looked up from his fray as he heard the triumphant cries of earth.
Everyone on earth looked deep within themselves and thought of the things they cared most about, some were stupid like ice cream while others were vast like ending world hunger. They all thought about the things that they stood to lose and felt deep in their heart a light start to burn. Soon these lights became brighter and brighter as the earth became a source of light to outshine the sun. The massive tidal wave of light flew into space and touched down on Hyrule right where the Girls were standing and the Deities were fighting.
They were engulfed in a world of white light that burned the eyes of Oni-Gannon. From above them the girls could see three beautiful women floating down softly from above. They had flowing white dresses with a golden light surrounding them. Their hair waved listlessly in their supernatural existence. Their eyes and hair were white but their features were outlined with a golden aura giving them the appearance of grace and beauty.
Dark Link, Link and the others stopped fighting immediately and bowed towards the goddesses. Even Oni-Gannon had his gaze transfixed on their countenance.
"Link!" Came the calm and echoing voice of one of the goddesses
"Yes my goddess!" he kneeled and put his hand over his heart.
"It saddens us that you wish to leave us and change your destiny." The goddess continued
"SHUT UP AND DIE!" Oni-Gannon shouted and jumped towards the goddesses.
The three waived their arms and soon shackles of light entrapped the creature and held it firmly to the ground. A wave of light formed over the snout of the creature and shut its mouth for good.
"I understand my goddesses." Link stated sadly looking down, "It's just that I am no longer happy in doing what I do." Link said painfully
"You have saved many worlds and received many friends, why then on this one do you choose to stay?" the goddess asked
"One cannot help who he falls in love with." He said and Buttercup smiled
"Verily it is so. However, there must be one to take your place we cannot leave the worlds in imbalance." The voice echoed calmly around the white world.
"I understand…" Link started
"I'll go!" Dark Link stated stepping forward
Everyone looked in shock except for Link and the goddesses.
"No Drake don't leave me!" Bubbles said whiny, "I just got you back!"
"Link has sacrificed everything for so many worlds and I haven't sacrificed anything I think I need to atone for my sins." Dark Link said looking down sadly
Blossom looked around as Buttercup knelt beside Link sadly and Bubbles had a hold of Dark Link's arm trying to pull him back to her. She ran up in front of the group and faced the goddesses,
"Choose me!" She demanded
Everyone even Link and Oni-Gannon looked in shock.
"And why do you wish to do this?" Came the voice of another goddess to the side of the one that was speaking to Link.
"All my life I've only wanted to be a super hero. I've gotten a small part of that wish when I turned into a Powerpuff Girl Z but I can see now that I need something greater a larger challenge in my life than just fighting on one small world. There are millions of worlds that need saving and Link and Drake are needed here now more than ever. They have people that love them and need them."
"And what about your loved ones?" the goddess asked
"My family will do fine without me they know this is all I've ever really wanted and if anything they'd be happy for me." Blossom stated and then thought for a moment, "Would I be able to see them again?" She asked
"Verily, as Link was so shall you be and return to your world awaiting your next assignment from us." The goddess stated
"Blossom please!" Buttercup said and Bubbles nodded, "We need you here too!"
Blossom smiled, "It's not like I'm going to be gone forever. I will be home in between missions and maybe I can find time to help out the Powerpuff Girls Z." she winked
The goddesses remained silent for a time and then at once they spoke, "Verily the Almighty has approved your request and you shall be made the Heroine of Time."
A light encircled her and Link and they floated off the ground. Links tunic glowed brightly in the three triangles pattern and soon that pattern turned into beams of light that shot forward and embedded itself in Blossoms collar right at the base of her neck. There was a bright flash of light and the two returned to the ground.
"What is thy name chosen of the goddesses?" The three goddesses asked in unison
"Well everyone calls me Blossom but my real name is Momoko." Blossom stated
"Verily from this day onward Momoko is the chosen of the goddesses and is instated as the Heroine of Time."
A bright light surrounded Blossom and her outfit changed right before everyone's eyes. Her sagely apparel grew out a tunic that extended to just above her knees. Her shoes extended and became made of leather while her pants puffed out slightly. Her sleeves shrunk into the tunic making it sleeveless and completely red her hair was released from her massive ponytail only to be reformed with a smaller bow at the base of her hair. Her eyes changed to a brilliant red color and she touched down looking more like a ninja than anything.
Link approached and pulled the master sword from his back and handed it over to Blossom, "Thank you!" He said as tears came down his face. Buttercup and Bubbles came over and gave their friend a tear-filled hug.
"There is still Oni-Gannon who cannot be allowed to take this step into a new destiny, his sorting is made and he sorts poorly." The goddess said and Blossom's sword started to glow, "Momoko as the Chosen of the goddesses you must end this destiny and start your own you must be the one to end Oni-Gannon."
Blossom approached Oni-Gannon who was fighting to free himself from the chains but to no avail. Blossom raised her sword and drove it deep into the skull of the beast. Blood came out in troves as the animal fell to the side and slowly disintegrated into nothing.
"It is time for you to start your training." The goddess said
"Blossom," Bubbles spoke up, "When will we see you again?"
The goddesses interjected, "Her training will take seven earth years and then she may return to await her assignment."
"Seven years!" Buttercup said surprised, "We'll all be in our twenties by then!"
"Don't worry it'll go by fast." Blossom stated smiling again as a small tear formed down her eye, "Please let my family know." She said as she walked towards a blue light that appeared in front of the goddesses.
They all shook their heads as she stepped into the light and started to float upwards.
"Who knows," Blossom said closing her eyes, "Maybe I'll find the right person for me too."
And with that the white world disappeared as did the goddesses and Blossom.
