Chapter 101: Clashing to the Brink! Conquering a Conqueror's Power!

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic Wars the Enji, their friends, and the members of Brave Vesperia had more than enough of Ganondorf's evil deeds and were ready to make him pay for them once and for all! However before they could reach the Zannacross Inquisitor they were faced with his last surviving minions, the Twinrova witch's Komue and Kotake! The two would not allow are hero's to pass but Ben was ready to cut a path right through them!

However they then unleashed their newest toy, Yuri's obsessive murderous fan Zagi, who was infused with the powers of darkness! The crazy assassin did not care in the slightest that Ganondorf wants to destroy his world; all he wanted to do was kill Yuri! Yuri and the others faced off against the henchmen so that Ben, Link, Cloud and the others could have some breathing room to fight who they were truly after. And it was not long after that at last Link faced his archenemy on top of the Black Omen with Ben, Kirby and the other Enji at his side!

Ganondorf was all too happy to settle the score and the showdown then commenced! While the villain showed no mercy and was more powerful than ever, the good guys were not going to let him cause anymore pain! Working together they were able to get in some damage to Ganondorf, and seemed to be getting closer to defeating him for good!

However just when it looked like he was finished the situation turned for the worse, when Ganondorf shocked them all by showing Link to his horror that he had only impaled one of his phantom's with the Master Sword! The villain then with great desire showed off his true master plan, and used the immense powers of the curse seal crystals of Zannacross to force the Tri force of Courage and Tri force of Wisdom out of Link and Zelda, and merge with his Tri-force of power to at last combined to the object he has spent centuries seeking, the true completed Tri-force!

Despite Ben and the others best efforts they could not stop him , and Ganondorf 's power rose to the greatest level of a threat, making him on par with even Kira! Now once more transformed in to his demonic Gannon form, he unleashed his wrath on are hero's and with unmatched speed and power nearly made sport of them!

Even when Ben unleashed his Kaio Ken power it only seemed to make Gannon fight harder! Having waited for revenge for far too long Gannon overwhelmed him with his power and was ready to destroy them all with a massive black and purple blast when all of a sudden Yuri and the others used all of their power to intercept it! Having defeated both Zagi and Twinrova for good they came just in time, and now all of those defying the will of the Zannacross Empire were ready to take down Gannon for good! However, with his power now seemly unstoppable will any of it matter? The fate of the worlds of Hyrule, Terca Lumeris, and maybe even the entire Lylat Kingdom is decided today so let's get started!

Today before we continue with the very tense battle going on we go to the Zaphas castle, as everyone there like nearly everyone on the planet are watching the massive warship of Ganondorf try and consume the planet, and with every distant flash they see at the top they get hopeful that today is not doomsday!

In the damaged throne room of the castle a shaken up Prince Loder is going over with is advisers the current situation, till he stops when all they can do is guess if the Enji can save them or not. As he wonders if he can actually get informed with anything useful he hears a groaning noise, and turns to the left to see King Dedede has at last awoken after his painful dosage of pain that was given to him by the evil king! His faithful Waddle Dee servants were fanning him the whole time he was out, put their loyalty like usual is not greeted with gratitude by the Penguin king as he groans, opens his eyes, and rolls over and nearly flattens two of them! He then jumps up in the air and says,"

Ah! Where did that Ganondorf go? I forgot to tell him that penguin's taste horrible!"

The younger successor to the Zaphas Imperial throne his eyes and mutters out a disheveled," Relax Dedede he has long since gone, with Zelda."

Dedede then slouches back before he blurts out," Whew, that was close! Hey wait he flew the coop with Zelda? Man that's dumb, he is going to have Kirby, Link, that Ben and all the other Enji in his face before he can blink!"

Loder then points to the sky and says,"I think he is ready for them."

Dedede then has his mouth drop and says," Oh man, this has to be a nightmare! That thing looks larger then when that rotten Dark Matter tried to take over Popstar! It even looks a little like that damn Dark Matter, and it looks armed to the teeth to! I hope are guys are on there all ready taking it out!"

Flynn's lieutenant Sodia then walks forward and says," We got a transmission from a Cid Highwind a hour ago. He said Commandant Flynn, that Yuri Lowell, the Enji and the others have entered the Black Omen warship belonging to that madman Ganondorf to stop him. We have yet to have a update on their status."

Dedede then laughs and says," Ha! It's in the bag! Zelda told me over last week's brunch that that Link fellow sent that jerk packing many times! And now with Kirby, Ben and the others also on the scene it will be over before the dinner and I can, hey what the?"

Everyone feels a large rumbling and sees the entire city is shaking as one of the massively extended tentacle like structures drilling right in to the area in front of the capital, and rapidly approaching it!

Dedede then gulps before he says," Um, if that's a good sign I am a bandicoot! How jacked up can that guy be? "

Loder reacts with a uneasy," I hope not too much. For if they cannot stop him we are all in very deep trouble. Flynn, Yuri, Estelle, Ben and everyone else. I hope you can prevail. Please don't give up! We believe in you!"

Dedede then mistakes the Waddle Doo beside him for his hammer and grips it before shaking it hard and saying," You heard him! Kirby, you and the others show that jerk who the real king is!"

As everyone is giving there encouragement little do they know how badly the hero's need it!

We now swiftly return to the main chamber of the Black Omen, where the good guys are learning the hard way just how powerful Gannon has become since infusing himself with the full Tri-Force!

Even though Yuri, Luke and the others arrived just in time for backup, it seems to be doing little as the transformed Zannacross Inquisitor seems to have no problem brushing of their attacks before attacking with such force and speed it's almost like a battleship is blasting at them from all sides before they can even react!

At the moment Ben is trying to slice through the skull of his opponent, as Cloud, Cecil, Yuri, Guy, and a weakened but still determined Link all slash at him at once! However this just causes there foe to chuckle before his eyes glow and purple energy instantly covers him before all of the swords bounce of him!

Gannon reacts to the efforts of the hero's with a gleeful," Heh, you might as well try and stab the air because none of your petty blades can pierce me! It seems you're not getting the point that I have now surpassed all of you mortals. But if you can't yet understand that I am invincible then I will be more than happy to make my point clear!"

With that Gannon has his energy explode and blasts everyone back, before he warps in front of Yuri and brings his Trident/Sword down hard on the long haired swordsmen! Yuri is barely able to block in time but the force brings him to his knees! Struggling to hang on he says," Man, you keep calling me the savage one but you're the one snarling at me like a monster! But then again you don't have to act! Guh!"

Gannon just presses his weapon harder, and thanks to the unique blade having many rugged edges he cuts in to Yuri's shoulder while saying," What is it you were saying vermin? I noticed you have a very high opinion on yourself, and yet you are nothing more than a dirty stain on this world! Germs have no place meddling in affair with the rulers of all! Time to die!"

With that he presses down harder, before extending his free hand, and firing a powerful red energy hand from his finger! However right before he can hit Yuri Ben warps in front and blocks it with the Star Sword! As he defects the sudden blast and it goes through the ceiling as it explodes Ben looks calmly at Gannon and says," Sorry, but you have the timing on that way off! The only one dying here is you!"

Gannon gets annoyed and grins his teeth before he retorts with a dismissive,"Big words fool, I would like to see you back them up!"

Ben then has his energy flare up as he says,"With pleasure! Kaio-Ken! "

With that Ben's aura once more turns red and his body seems to turn that color to as he charges at Ganon and unleashes a fast kick that hits the demonic foe right in the chest, and sends him packing all the way to edge of the room as he smashes through the wall! However while the kick was powerful enough to leave burn marks where he was hit Gannon just chuckles and says,"

Not bad, at least that one I could feel! Still, when you're going to kill someone you don't try it like that; you try it, LIKE THIS!"

With that he slashes the air with his weapon, with such speed and force that it creates a strong gust of wind that nearly blows everyone back! As they close their eyes for all the dirt that gets sent there way , before Gannon then slams his weapon in to the ground, and causes a massive energy blast to blast them, from below! Everyone is hit hard and blasted in to the air, and land on a lower platform since the blast destroyed much of the chamber! As Gannon flaps his demon wings to hover above them he says," Oh my, looks like your causing me to blast apart my own ship in my desire to kill you all! For that your deaths will be even more painful! "

Ben checks on how his friends are before he snaps back with a driven," You better start paying attention, because I told you you're not going to kill anyone anymore Gannon! You have not beaten us yet, and you never will!"

Gannon just has energy start to surround his blade before he points the tip of it at Ben" Oh please, it's useless! We can fight on all day but it will not change anything!"

Ben's retort is a focused," That's what you think, no matter how much stronger you have gotten. You're still no match for us, and with teamwork we will concur your so called absolute power! Ready guys?"

Doug jumps up next to him and says,"Always! This guy is madder than ever if he thinks getting uglier will let him win!"

James then aims his bow at the Zannacross Inquisitor and says,"Then let's show him how much of an error he made! Get ready!"

With that James fires countless energy arrows at Gannon, but his responds is the evil king rapidly spindly his weapon so fast it defects every arrow! However this distracts Gannon long enough for Doug to dash behind him and before he can react he powers up and yells out," Here's an extra helping of pain just for you, Furious Aura Hammer!"

With that Doug's fist burns with energy as he readies a dynamical punch, that is swiftly blocked by the bad guy's tail! He then sets his eyes on Doug as he says," Did you really think that the likes of you could harm me so easily? Huh?"

He looks up and sees Cloud and Cecil charging at him with their swords as Cloud says,"Maybe it's not as easy as you think! This has gone on for long enough! Climhazzerd!"

He and Cecil then power up and both slash at their monstrous opponent, but this just annoys Gannon and he just has his eyes glow as there slashes bounce of him!

He then screams out a scathing," Fools! No matter how many of you come at me it will just amuse me at best! Face it, the difference of power between me and all of you combined has become far too great. After all since I have the entire power of the full Tri-force at my command it should be obvious even to the most simple minded of you lot! It's time for all you pathetic hero's to accept you have failed and die! Huh? Did a mosquito try and itch me? "

While still holding back Doug, Cecil and Cloud at once he feels something and turns around to see Link firing some more Light Arrows at his hated foe, only for them to bounce of Gannon's body like harmless Nerf darts! Link then charges at him with his Master Sword and says,"

You never could understand anything besides power Gannon! No matter how strong you become that alone is not enough to win! Even if through your treachery you were able to steal the Tri force parts from me and Zelda and make another vile wish, we will never lose to you! "

He then uses his claw shot to lift himself all the way to the top of the room, before coming down, and landing his sword right on Gannon 's head! However, the Master Sword dose not penetrate its target's head at all and a smug Gannon says," Oh please hero of time, your glory days are over! Now that I taken away the power you should have never had in the first place your nothing more than another inferior being! The blade of evil's bane? HA! Nothing more than a toy! Let me show you how the power of the Tri-force can be properly used!"

With that he shocks the startled Link by having the symbol of the Zannacross Empire glow on his forehead, before the left horn on his head all of a sudden extends and impales Link right through his right knee! He then throws Link of him, before exhaling a blast of dark fire that burns the wounded hero! As he falls Zelda struggles to get over to where her long time savior is as she says," No, Link!"

Gannon laughs madly and as he sees his mortal enemy suffer he screams out" Hahahaha! Ah, seeing you squirm almost makes all the setbacks over the years worth it! You were always fated to lose to me kid! After all I am one of the most superior beings in this entire cosmos! And you are nothing more than a lowly brat that would have been nothing at all if the forces of light did not choose you as there pawn to defy me in vain!

But in the end no matter how brightly the light shines it is destined to be burn out. All the more proof that darkness trumps all! Oh, want another round you tainted heart hero?"

He is referring to Ben as he sees the welder of the Star Sword charging right at him with his blade glowing as he says," I had enough of seeing that disgusting mouth of yours rant! You will pay for that Gannon! Ill prove once and for all your link to the darkness will only bring you to share the same fate of Xehamaru and the others! Take this!"

He is about to attack when Gannon looks livid and snarls out," No, take THIS!"

With that his eyes glow and he fires another optic blast, to apparently blow Ben away! He then laughs ,"Such an easy victory! Huh, wait, why is his power not fading? What?!"

He then sees that while he was distracted Ben sent out a shadow clone to fool Gannon and it seemed to have worked because now the real Ben is right in front of him with even more power as he all ready has his Kaio Ken activating again as he says," I don't like it when people interrupt me! Now, as I was saying! My sword is burning red, its loud roar tells me to grapes victory! Divine Flare Edge! "

With that he slashes right at Gannon's chest, but the evil king uses his magic energy to try and blast Ben of him! Grinding his very large ugly teeth he says," Ill give you credit for having such a narrow minded focus on your goals. But its futile! No matter how much power you have it can't defeat the invincible power!"

Ben just has his eyes narrow as he says," Oh I never heard that before, expect for the times that I did! Don't act like your invincible, because its just going to make you look like a even bigger idiot when your beaten! I told you, I still can go farther. And ill keep hitting harder till your down for good! Now, Kaio Ken, times two!"

With that Ben shocks everyone as his energy grows even larger before his power level rises again, and manages to break his opponent's defenses and leaves a large slash across Gannon 's chest! As the Zannacross Inquisitor snarls in pain he looks at his injury and glares at Ben while saying,"You damned Enji, you will pay!"

Ben just readies himself to another attack as he says,"Plenty of people have said that, and yet I seem to be still standing. Ow, still, hoped to do more damage with that. "

Gannon sees Ben is breathing hard and his eyes look devilish as he says,"I give you credit for managing to amass so much power that you could make me feel pain while I am in this state. Still, I can see your body is not built to stand so much power for so long. I doubt you can be so feisty for so long Ben Auro! And when you reached your limit this battle will have been decided! "

Ben then wipes the sweet from his forehead and says," To bad for you your going to be dead before I run out of power! Now, let's settle this!"

With that Gannon has his magic energy explode once more as he fly's higher and responds with a mocking," With pleasure!"

With that the two charge at each other, and move so fast that most of Ben's friends can't follow him anymore!

Karol just hears many rumblings and blurts out," What is going on? Did they both turn invisible?"

Jade walks over to them and answers with a blunt,"No, they are simply moving too fast for the normal human eye to see. With special training and focus you could fallow them, normally. However it pains me to admit it but unless my age is getting to me I can barely keep track of them either."

Luke then walks over and says," I don't think it's something about your body Jade, Ben and Gannon's speed are at a level surpassing the masters! Where did they, whoa!"

The red haired Enji quickly gets his answer when he and the others hear a large rumbling as they all of a sudden see Ben and Gannon in a deadlock with their weapon's below them! They lock blades for a few seconds before Gannon back's of and fires a massive blast from his free hand! However Ben powers up his Kaio Ken to hold it in its place, before he bats it away. However Gannon just laughs evilly before his weapon explodes with power and he says,"

You have been pretty good so far, but I'll wager you can't perform this well for long hero! Die!"

With that a barrage of energy bullets explode form his trident/sword, and all close in on Ben!

But Ben just reacts with a coy," Think that's enough? Kaio Ken times two!"

With that Ben's power explodes once more as he moves like a blur as he slashes apart each shot! Geno-Wyrmmon is one of the many seeing this display of skill and says,"All right! Show him nothing he can do matters boss! Heh, this battle is in the bag!"

Cloud goes over to the Digmon and says,"Sorry Geno-Wyrmmon, but as much as I would like to say that is true, it seems the situation is getting worse by the minute. "

The dragon is confused and says," What? What do you mean Cloud? Ben's catching everything that Gannon jerk throws at him and sending it right back at his face! "

Cloud looks at Ben and tensely reacts with," That is true, but at the cost of straining his body. Grand Master Myers only briefly went over the Kaio Ken attack to me once. But he made it clear that there is a reason that he does not teach it to just everyone, and it's not just because he wants to keep it to himself."

Cecil walks over to them and adds," Yes, and it's because the skill can quickly drain the user of all his energy, and cause it a great deal of stress. Using it to much can even kill its user!

Yuri then looks up and says," Well, hopefully for Ben he trained hard enough to make sure that won't happen."

Estelle then adds a hopeful,"Yes, Ben has a strong will, one of the strongest I ever seen! I know he won't give up, not with everything that is at stake!"

Cloud closes his eyes before he reacts with," There is no doubt he will never give up. It's a question of if his mind can make sure his body can be up to par. Because it looks like Gannon does not have to worry about such a thing at all!"

As much as are hero's would hate to admit it they all start to see that Cloud is right when the blasting barrage ends and they see a exhausted Ben on one side, and Gannon on the other. And while he still has a few wounds he does not look worn down at all!

The King of evil then growls out a mocking," Hahaha, feeling tired? It must be hard to keep such a level of power up all by yourself! Even the power of the Star Sword seems to have its limits!"

Ben just glares at the evil king and says,"Damn you, treating this as another game. You're not a machine, you will get tired to you know!"

Gannon just laughs before his power flares up again and the image of the Tri-Force appears on his chest as he boasts out a proud," Nonsense boy! The infinite power of a god is at my command! Running out of power is not a problem for me!"

With that Ben just charges at him as he retorts with a forceful," If that is the case, then I'll make it a problem!"

With that he bursts to slash at Gannon, but his opponent just gives a monstrous smirk as his body fades to dark mist right as Ben reaches him! Ben tries to track him but is at a lost before he and everyone else here the villain give of a laugh that seems to come from every direction as he says,"

Oh please! You can not harm me, for my power is now that of a god! Your little tricks cannot save you now! After all, your light is running out Enji! And for one thing,"

All of a sudden Gannon appears right above Ben as finishes his speech with," In your tired state, it would appear your lazing on your guard! Too bad!"

Just as Ben realizes where the bad guy is it's too late and Gannon hits him hard with a powerful blow to the head, that hits Ben hard, and sends him flying! Ben is hit so hard that in a instant he is blown through the upper throne chamber where they were all fighting, and to the lower platform that was at least a whole floor or two below! As Ben lands with a strong impact his friends just have enough time to see him before Gannon flashes right above Ben before bringing down his now massive clawed foot and smashing it hard on Ben!

As Ben yells out in pain Gannon laughs and says," You pathetic clown! Do you now see how foolish you were, to shun the darkness? If you were smart you would have gladly remained as Darth Idious, and you just might have made a place for yourself in the new existence of supreme darkness! But alas you have proven just how weak you were by rejecting it.

And for what? Some pathetic illusion of friendship? You had a break down in the first place because you could not handle the betrayals you suffered and you were foolish enough to think you had real friends! The truth is simple child; wasting time on such worthless bounds is meaningless! The only path to true power is to only rely on yourself! And this is why I am about to kill you all as you die like the worms you are!"

Ben coughs up blood but tries to lift the massive foot trying to crush him of as he says,"Your wrong Gannon, despite what you think you still don't know anything at all about what is really important! I will never choose to be like you scum. I won't throw my friends away for power like you did! Because even your path does offer more power, at least I am not a monster like you! I will die before I betray everything! Guh!"

Hearing this annoys Gannon and he presses down harder before saying,"In that case I will grant your wish!"

Hearing this Ben's Digimon partner charges at Gannon while saying,"Get your filthy hands, feet, and the rest of him jerk! Striking Crusher Claw!"

Gannon just turns his head to the Digimon and reacts with a growl before he punch's the air so fast that it creates a sort of shock wave that is hard enough to hit Geno-Wyrmmon in midair, and send him even faster in the opposite direction!

Gannon laughs and says," Tsc, and just what makes you think the likes of you can do any better? "

He sees Flynn and Yuri charge at him with the others behind him as Flynn says," Because we can't afford to lose, and we won't let you kill are friend! Radiant Dragon Fang!"

With that Flynn fires of his Mystic Art as he sends a powerful burst of light in the form of multiple dragon heads right as Kirby jumps of his shoulder and says,"

That's right! Friends stick out for each other and we won't let a jerk like you win the day! You're going down!"

With that Kirby switches to his explosive Crash power and unleashes a massive energy blast to assist Flynn! The others help to, and some are them are Tear firing her Innocent Shine Mystic Art, Rydia quickly summoning her world's Bahamut to add its Mega Flare to the mix, and more!

However as the Zannacross Inquisitor senses all of these attacks coming his way he just gets mad and says," Haven't I thrashed you bugs enough for me to drill the point home yet!? So be it, with all of the wounds I have inflicted, this is going to burn!"

With that Gannon has his wings glow, before they fire out a giant energy wave of darkness that blasts away all the attacks coming his way, and blasts every one of their feet! Yuri quickly rebounds and says," Damn this guy, can't say I can take that many more of those. But sooner or later we will break through his defenses!"

Gannon just gives a defiant sneer before he turns around and roars out," Not likely dog, or must I so quickly make another example of my superiority!"

With that Gannon kicks Ben to the wall before flying high in to the air, and has darkness surround him!

He then says," Yes, witness once and for all the true superiority of the darkness! And may all your hopes turn in to nightmares, hahahahaha!"

With that his aura explodes, and before the good guys know it his darkness covers the entire area, and soon becomes so think that it covers the light, and no one can see!

Yuri then says," What is this? "

Ben answers with a agitated," Man, he just loves to pile on the dirty tricks! What's the matter Gannon? If you're so strong why do you need to hide in the shadows!?"

They all hear another laugh from there tormentor as Gannon responds with," You mistake cowardice for pleasure Enji, the pleasure of seeing your absolute despair!"

Link then says," Enough with your games, show yourself so we can end are feud once and for all! Huh?"

He hears something behind him only to be hit through the ground! Gannon then says,"That is what I am trying to do if you were not paying attention! So hurry up and die!"

With that he fires another massive energy blast from his Trident/Sword and blasts all the hero's in his path! As they all land on the ground singed and badly injured Yuri holds his burnt leg and says," Damn him! How are we supposed to fight when we can't even see him?"

Kirby then puts out the fire on his head and says," I know bad guys love to cheat but this is even more unfair then usual!"

Gannon laughs so hard the room shakes and he says,"Do you now just realize that that is the point? YOU CAN"T WIN!

You never stood a chance against the powers of the dark side. The only thing you achieved in your hopeless struggle is making your inevitable deaths even more miserable and painful! "

Link gets back up, and says," After all the times you fallen, you still think that's true? Even if the situation is different this time, you're still wrong! It's not just a useless struggle for you and the other villain's enjoyment! It's to fight for a better future for all of us!"

His responds is ," Heh, too bad that your fighting will achieve nothing! Enough of this, time to rid myself of you vermin for good! Prepare to die without even seeing your final moments! Hahaha, so long you, huh? What the?"

Just as Gannon was preparing to unleash the final blow, he and everyone else is shocked to see the darkness be lighted up, by none other than Zelda! While severely weakened from having the Tri-Force of Wisdom forcibly extracted out of her she still has some magical energy left, and is using it to try and burnish through the darkness! Link sees the brown haired princess struggling to keep up the ball of light out of her finger tips and runs over to her and says," Stop it Princess, please don't exhaust yourself even more!"

Zelda just smiles and says to Link," It is my responsibilities as part of the Hyrule royal family to insure what we are entrusted to protect is not misused as well Link. And I will do whatever I can to help you all stop Gannon's ambitions. You truly are a twisted soul Gannon, you desire to concur everything with absolute power but with such an evil mind you can never truly master the god's power. "

This infuriates the evil king and he snarls out," Silence you foolish princess! You and all your ancestors are all nothing more than naive children that could never understand the reality of existence! But you shawl soon learn what true mastery is! "

With that he points his weapon at Zelda and fires a massive triple red energy blast at her! However Zelda uses her power to warp both her and Link out of its path as the triple beam blasts through and blows through his own ship! Zelda and Link land next to Ben and Cloud and Zelda falls to her knees even from warping at such a close distance and Link says," Zelda! At this rate, no, ill stop this before I even need to think about a situation like that!"

As Ben sees the darkness begin to cover everything he says," But, how? I hate to admit it but as long as he has the entire Tri-force merged with him it's going to take a miracle to take him down! "

Cloud then reacts with a weary," There must be some way to separate him from that power. You and Link are the two rightful bearers of parts of the Tri-Force correct? Shouldn't you be able to control it to?"

Zelda looks at her hand and responds with," Maybe in a different situation. But not only did he make his wish to control its full power. But even before that he had empowered himself with the energies of countless souls and the vast darkness of one of those Zannacross Curse Seal Crystals. He has so much power."

Ben then hears Gannon laugh again but can't find them thanks to his darkness covering the room again and says,"No, I refuse to just give up. There has to be a way to beat him."

They then see another light flare up behind them as they see its Rita lighting a fireball and she says,"There might be a way. I admit I don't know much about this whole Tri-force thing. But even if he is invincible he has a weakness. He is so powerful now that his strength is his weakness as well. It could be compared to some of the large Blastia that I have seen been overused by some greedy idiots. They try and put so much energy in to the formula that it overloads and self destructs! It's only a theory but it's worth trying it out, if he is so powerful now then we will just have to make him use so much power that he will destroy himself!"

Ben raises his eyebrows and says,"I am not so sure your plan is going to work Rita. It's not like we are having a hard time hitting him with how large he has become. But the problem is that in his current stage even with the combined powers of Kaio Ken and Bankai he is barely scratched, and everything else just bounces of him!"

Rita grins and says," I know that, forget I am a genius already Enji? Still, if are attacks can't hurt him we will just have to try and make him hurt himself! Look, I know it's a long shot but it's better than nothing!"

They see another light come at them from the right and see its Jade having his spear glow as he pushes his glasses back and says,"Hump, having himself put out so much energy that it reveals a weakness? Not an entirely hopeless theory. Hopefully we can survive long enough to put it to the test. "

They all feel the room shaking and see a large red light form above them as Gannon says,"Whatever little ideas you are digging up are useless. I think I let you despair long enough, time for us to have are final farewell! "

James then has his Quincy bow light up as he says," It's not time for good buy's just yet, I still have a few things to give to you!"

James then unleashes another barrage of energy arrows at Gannon and as the solid light projectiles bright up the darkness this annoys Gannon as he says,"I know you hero's are stubborn by nature but this is tiresome. No matter how many rays of light you shoot at me I will wipe them all out!"

With this his wings flap and fire of countless red energy bullets to blast at all the arrows! However, as he does this Geno-Wyrmmon flies to his side and says,"

You seem to be very hungry, so seconds won't be a problem for you! Trinity Fury Cannon!"

With that the ultimate level digimon lets lose another powerful energy blast but Gannon just has his aura keep it at bay as well! He then sees more of the hero's preparing to attack and he just says," This would almost be entertaining if it was not so pathetic, your all just lining up to die!"

With that his energy lashes out and goes to blast through all the attacks coming his way!

However Luke then gets behind him and says," No way are we going to let some freak like you win, Lost Fon Drive!"

With that Luke powers up and unleashes everything he has in a Luke raises his Key of Lorelei sword and fires a wall of searing energy, then hacks away at Gannon from his back until he sees the foe's tail thrashing at him and jumps back ready to fire a huge beam of light that would annihilate anything normally in its path! However Gannon just rams his elbow so hard to Luke that it twists his arm! As he goes flying Gannon roars out with primal fury. But as he is about to further his attack with Luke Guy gets in the general of darkness's path!

Seeing his red haired friend go flying and Tear running to heal him Guy gets mad and says,"I had enough of your talking you over sized pig! Razing Phoenix!"

With that Guy has his aura take the shape of a burning phoenix as he collides right in to Gannon! However it has no effect at all and Guy head buts Guy down as he says," You Enji lot keep rambling on about theses bounds to your friends are what keeps you going? Then its simple, I will tear them all apart to crush your spirits once and for all!"

He then sees both Cecil and Yuri charge at him and both of their magic energies rise as Cecil says," No matter how powerful you are you won't tear apart the bounds we have for each other ! Even the power of the Tri-Force can't shatter that! Holy Divide!"

Just as the paladin's sword shines with holy light Yuri says," He is right, we have much more at stake then you do, so we simply can't lose no matter what! Savage Wolf Fury! "

With that Gannon finds himself under a countless barrage from both Cecil and Yuri at the same time ! the duo's combined assault is so furious that Gannon can't block the strikes, and while it does little damage it still annoys the dark lord and as his rage builds up he screams out," Enough! Discard theses illusions and embrace my rule!"

He then swings his arm to smash the ground and its shock wave blasts both of the warriors back! However as they are hurled back Cloud is at the same time charging at Gannon and he seems to be putting all the energy he has in to his First Sword as he says,"Power that only hurts people is worthless. We won't let you use people as tools any longer, Omni slash!"

With that Cloud unleashes a barrage of powerful slashes right at his foe, and attacks the same spot so many times he is able to price Gannon's defenses and leave a small cut across his chest! This infuriates Gannon and he fires a blast from his palm that the spiky haired warrior manages to dodge, however its power is so great just being near it blasts Cloud away! Gannon takes to the air again and clutches his hand as energy seeps out of it as he says," I won't take this humiliation from pawns any longer!"

Ben then walks forward and powers up once more as he says,"Don't worry, it will all be over soon, for you!"

His hideous opponent quickly snaps back with," Such confidence from someone that is so thoroughly beaten is not even funny! "

Ben just gets in to fighting stance and says,"It's not suppose to be funny! As long as I have dreams to reach and friends to fulfill I don't plan on dying any time soon. And there is no way I will lose to someone that treats people as nothing more than tools and slaves!"

Gannon's power begins to spike as he says," To cling on to such foolish dreams,I'll be merciful enough to erase those illusions for you! You were better of as are simple tool of the dark side!"

The Enji Knights quickly retorts with a fierce," Never, I'll never let you or anyone else do that! I have friends that support my dream and have their own. Because of them, this dream of mine is indestructible! Your kind will never erase are dreams for the future!"

Gannon then says," Is that so? Very well, then I will take away everything! Learn once and for all, that the only future for scum like you is oblivion! "

With that he rapidly carves the air with his trident blade and he forms a blood red form of the Tri-Force! As power begins to tremble out of it he says,"Watch carefully Ben Auro! I am about to concur all of you and your petty friends dreams with one swoop! Destiny cannot be changed. It was my destiny to rule this universe and I will annihilate all who oppose it! Ben, Link, and all you other bugs, once and for all be squashed!

Calamitous Demise!"

With that from the bloody giant image of the Tri-Force that he formed a massive red, black, and purple energy beams roar out, before they merge to form a very deadly sideways energy tornado charging at Ben, ready to shatter him and the others!

Doug sees this and backs up as he says," Whoa, that is some serious nastiness he is dishing out! He can total the planet with that move!"

James then sweats a lot as he says," The planet? More like the entire solar system! "

Ben just takes a deep breath and says,"This is it, it's all or nothing now. I know Master Myers warned not to use more than two combination's of Kaio Ken at once, and that any more could be a grave risk. But now we are facing an even greater risk so it's all or nothing! Kaio Ken, times three!"

With that Ben's energy explodes again, this time great enough to blow apart the rest of the ceiling of the Black Omen, and as the night sky and dark clouds show them self's Ben unleashes all the power he has and focuses it in to his hands as he says,"Now, this is it! Burning , Celestial Shinryukenha!"

With that Ben fires of his largest energy beam yet as it collides in to Gannon 's beam, rocking the foundations of the entire battleship! As the beams struggle to overpower each other the evil king glares at Ben and says,"What a nice final charge, but it's all in vain because for all the power you're dishing out I can unleash even more! Your Star Sword may have power, but the power of the Tri-Force is endless!"

It seems that unfortunately the king of jerks is not bluffing as he keeps putting more darkness in to his blast, and Ben is being pushed back as he falls in to one knee! Cloud then says,"Come on, we have to help him!"

With that he fires a sword beam attack in to Ben's blast to aid his teammate and most of the others do the same with their own attacks! Link is about to aid his friends when he is shocked to see Zelda grip his shoulder and she says," No Link, we can help in a far more effective way."

Link looks puzzled and says," What do you mean princess? "

Zelda then looks at her archenemy and says," I have been pondering to think about how to put the theory Miss Rita talked about to its best use, and I think I finally figured out a way that could work! Link, do you still have the Ocarina of Time with you?"

Link thinks for a second, and nods before searching through his deep, very deep and near magical pockets, and after ten seconds takes out the blue ocarina. Ever since the event's of Majora 's Mask he has not had much use for it and has been just hanging on to it for nostalgia's sake." As you might have imaged he is quite a hoarder despite not having much room to store all his gear hahaha."

He hands it to Zelda and says," Hear you go Zelda, thought I am not sure its magic can work when we are not even on the planet of its creation!"

Zelda just looks at it and calmly states," While I may no longer have the powers of the Tri force in me I am still the seventh of the great sages of Hyrule, and with that enough power left to end this madness."

She then begins to play the Song of time, and with his demonic sharp ears Gannon is able to hear the song while pushing back the bombardment heading his way and laughs while saying,"

Oh this day keeps getting funnier! Just what are you doing playing that old song Zelda? The fear of death must be driving you mad, for you are a fool to think any of the old magic that instrument possesses can even be put to use when you're not even on your home world? Hahahaha!"

Zelda just continues to play the song and Ben sees this as he is falling to his knees and says," Er, not to doubt you Zelda, but I am not sure even a magical song is going to change anything. Ah, my arms are getting numb, but I have to keep, going."

Link looks at Zelda and says,"I know you have a plan but are you sure it's going to work Zelda? Huh, what is going on? "

Link is shocked to see Zelda finish her song, and all of a sudden the ocarina of time glows before it shoots out a beam of light, that heads in to Ben's Star Sword! Even Ben is not sure what is going on, as his celestial blade shines before it shoots a beam in to the air! Gannon laughs and says," Is this truly your final stand? Some feeble prayer for a miracle? Well, looks like your last ditch effort was a waste, it's over!

There will be no miracle, NOT THIS TIME! THIS TIME THERE WILL ONLY BE DESPAIR FOLLOWED BY ONE BRUTAL DEATH AFTER ANOTHER!"

Tear then sees the light spread out over the sky and looks at Zelda and says,"Princess, you did know what you were doing with that right?"

Zelda closes her eyes and just takes a deep breath and says," I was doing the best course of action, calling for help. "

Gannon laughs as his energy explodes and he reacts with a coy," Help? HA! As if any help can really change anything! No matter if a few more Enji rats join the fray, adding there power will not change the outcome of this banquet of the damned!"

Zelda just closes her eyes, and smiles while saying,"That is not what I meant Gannon, but you will find out soon enough . "

The bane of Hyrule in responds roars out," Bah, like I care what your meaning is, just expect your death all ready! Huh, what is this, feeling? What is this I am sensing? It feels like?"

As he wonders just what Zelda is up to he gets his answer when he, and the others see various fragments of light fly down, and as Estelle takes a look she says," This energy, it feels like the Entelexeia ?"

The pink haired princess is correct as she sees many orbs of energy float down like snow and Rita says," What is this?"

Zelda says,"Its true Gannon, the power of the Ocarina of Time is not enough to travel through the worlds. However, using the power of Star Sword I was able to use it as a beacon, to reach both Hyrule and the spirits that reside in this world! Now all of those that oppose you will stop you!"

Gannon sees the light begin to surround him but he tries to ignore it as he puts more power in to his blast as he says,"Bah, like the power of spirits can do anything to me! Ill blast all of theses so called reinforcements to hell with the rest of you! Huh, what is this? My muscles, are tightening? This can't be possible! Rah!"

All of a sudden Gannon sees the orbs of light head right in to him, and it shocks him that it causes him pain! As he feels more pain he says,"What is this? This can't be possible! With the power of the Tri-Force there is no way the likes of these should even cause me to pause!"

Zelda then says,"Maybe not on the outside Gannon, but despite how powerful the Tri-Force has made you; it has not made you invincible. The spirits of this world may not know us, but they know you are a threat to this world along with all others and are doing everything they can to stop you! But that is not all, for because of the Star Sword I was able to have enough power to transcend time and space, and make contact with a few old friends."

Gannon's eyes widen as he sees six spirits form around Zelda, and as they take form they all look like figures from Hyrule! They are Rauru, Saria, Darunia, Ruto, the ancestor of the current Impa, and Nabooru, the original six sages! Shocked to see the ones who originally sealed him away in the Sacred , Silent or Dark realm causes Gannon 's eyes to widen and he says,"What the, this is a trick! There is no way that even your spirits could still be around ! But no matter, ill just bring my revenge on you all! Now time for the coup de grace, RAH! What? Impossible!"

Gannon feels a great pain bulging up inside him, and his right shoulder has a small explosion of light burst out! Yuri then says," Would someone care to fill me in? It's a neat light show but I am a little confused on how it's hurting this guy!"

Zelda then says,"It is rather elaborate, but not an impossible outcome. I was able to call on my old friends by prying for help to stop this madman, and with their power combined with my own we were able to call upon the Tri-Force from within Gannon's body. For even though he made his wish to have its full power under his command and used the power of Zannacross to insure it obeyed.

A pure evil heart like his could never fully command it and with are combined wills we are causing your control over it to weaken, which as you are finding out is having quite a negative effect to your body Gannon! And if that was not enough, at the same time its causing all the life's you so mercilessly took and absorbed are now rebelling in your body!"

The King Of Evil snarled before his eyes glowed red." Damn Sages...you think mere ghosts can stop me? The will of the dead can't change the future!"

Kirby saw Ganondorf's defiance before he looked determined, and suddenly took out the Star Rod from his mouth before having it surge with light." The dead are not the only ones trying to stop you meanie! The Star Rod and this Tri-Force might not be the same but I'll use its power to help these ghosts guys do there thing!"

The pink hero proceeded to use his magical relic to fire a blast of holy power into Ganondorf and help the sages take away the Tri-Force power from him.

Gannon screams out in pain, and can barely keep his blast up as Ben says," Well, looks like Gannon is figuring out the hard way that its true when they say you reap what you sow."

Rita looks at the chain reaction in front of her with awe before she yells out," Wow, nice job princess! You figured out how to make use of my theory better then even I could have thought of!

Yuri then says," Looks like your finally paying up for all the pain you caused. Tell me, dose it feel good when your on the other end?"

Gannon then says," Curse you, you damned sages, CURSE YOU ZELDA!Damn you all, you stood in my way for the last time! But this won't stop me! Nothing will stop me! This is just a minor delay, I'll still blast you all to dust!"

Ben then narrows his eyes and says,"

Not if I can help it. With your power weakened, this is the best shot I have. This ends now! Kaio Ken, TIMES FOUR!"

With that Ben screams out as he pushes his body and soul to its absolute limit, and has his power explode! He then unleashes all the power he has left and pours it in to his energy wave as it grows twice as large, and with that combined with the villain being weaken, it's enough to overpower his foe's beam and blast right in to Gannon! As the beam is about consume him he says,"

No, this can't be! RAH!" With that the blast totally consumes him, and blasts a good chunk of the Black Omen away before Ben's Shinryukenha blast leaves the planet, and gives of a massive explosion that covers the sky!

Link shields his eyes while saying,"That had to have hurt him; otherwise we are all in trouble. Huh?"

Everyone sees the smoke clear, and when it does Gannon is still there, however he has seen better days!

Ben's last attack at last did some damage, he is bleeding all over and a huge chuck of his shoulder is missing. He shakes violently as he screams out in pain and Ben chuckles, before falling to his knees and he says,"

What is wrong Gannon? Not liking how destiny is playing out for you? I don't know why you're surprised, because it's no big secret that grade S bad guys like you have their plans go crashing down in flames by heroes like me Link and the others!"

Gannon glares at Ben as he steps forward with such force he shakes the ground as he screams out," Ben Auro, you think you can deny me what is rightfully mine? ILL KILL YOU BRAT! It's my fate to rule over all, the living, the dead, even the celestial ones! I WILL RULE ALL AND ONCE AND FOR ALL I WILL SHATTER YOU WITH THE WRATH OF THE GOD! So, take, RAUGH!"

He is about to raise his weapons in to the air before he spasms and screams in pain as a explosion of light blasts out of his hand, He then tries to use the power of the Tri-Force but it backfires and he is forced to drop it before it shatters on the ground!

Everyone sees him try and bring out the power of the Tri-Force again, but its energy flickers before many more explosions break out of his large body! Two rather large ones break out of his chest and go in to Link and Zelda, and they are shocked to see the symbol of the Tri-force return to their hands!

Link then emits a shocked," The power of the Tri-force, I feel its power once more! But how?"

Zelda looks at her own hand and says,"It seems that Ben's attack and the power of the spirits and sages as one shattered his control and he could no longer contain the power of the gods any longer. And what is more, it seems that we both have a half of the Tri-Force of power since it was totally expunged from his body Link. Gannon, you are finished. And only now do you realize you could never hope to fulfill your selfish desires."

Gannon turns to the princess and snarls as he says,"No, that power is mine! Return that to me before I devour you to get it back! I am the Great king of evil Ganondorf! The one destined to rule this realm and be the envoy for the Shin Emperor of Darkness Chaos Zannacross Necron! I will, never, allow, anyone, to stop me! The damned light has always forsaken me! No, I don't need the light, I never have! Darkness...I am the king of darkness, and I will crush all light with the darkness alone! RAHH!"

The Curse seal blazed across the King of Evil's forehead before suddenly all of the dark energy around the planet surged into the follower of Zannacross.

As the ground shook, Kirby saw Ganondorf turn pitch black, before eyes appeared all over his body, causing him to gasp." Oh wow this is getting really weird, its like the Dark Matter is taking him over!"

"No." Zelda muttered." Its like they are drawn to his will, like being beckoned to a true king of evil."

Ganon yelled with primal fury as his hair became living fire and his blood was boiling out of his body. As veins formed on his head he seethed out," DAMN THE GODDESS OF LIGHT AND HER CHOSEN KNIGHTS! THE HATE FOR THE LIGHT THAT BOILS IN MY VEINS...WILL NEVER BE SWEPT OUT! NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU TRY IT WILL BURST BACK WITH MORE AND MORE RAGE IN A CYCLE THAT WILL NEVER END TILL YOU ALL MEET YOUR DEMISE IN MY BLOOD SOAKED SEA OF DARKNESS THAT I LEAVE IN MY WAKE!"

Lighting from above struck the berserk King of Evil before beams of red energy shout out of all of his new eyes. As Kirby ducked out of the way of one of the eye beams he gulped." Oh man, now he's like Zero and Zero Two, the core of the Dark Matter! Does that make this Gannon guy...Zero Three?"

Doug snickered before he blocked some of the blasts with his greeves. "Whatever this punk thinks he is he's not going to rage quit enough to get out of the ownage he's long got coming for him! Anyone who thinks they are the" King of Evil" just is begging to get some humbling handed to him!"

"Aye my friend." Link retorted." No matter how you protest Ganondorf, you have gotten out of your destiny long enough!" The hero of Hyrule then has his Master Sword shine with his restored power, and he charges at the weakened Gannon, ready to finish him as he says," It's time that once and for all everyone is free from your nightmare! I never want to see you again! "

Kirby nodded before he swapped out the Star Rod for the Rainbow Sword, the holy item he used to defeat the Dark Matter the first time, and looked as serious as his small face could get."

Ben then gathers all the power he has left and also charges at Gannon while saying," Its time that once and for all you just shut up! Heat End!"

With that the three charged right up to Gannon. He tried to blast them away with a sudden extra blast, only for a light arrow to hit the projectile. As the blast hit his face Zelda revealed she fired the shot before she grasped her fist tightly." Ganondorf...no matter how much you curse us, I will never stop fighting to be free of you!"

The man that tormented her for generations only snarled with pure rage and tried to smash all those before him, only for Link, Kirby, and Ben to jump on his fist, and then jump high in to the air.

Kirby slashed his larger opponent's blade in half and kept the eye beams away from the other two, before his two friends unleashes a powerful horizontal slash from his head all the way to the bottom of his body in the shape of a glowing X, and unleashes the final blow!

Ben feels an outburst of energy and says," Heh, nice job Link, finally."

Gannon's whole body begins to crack as he breaths hard and turns to Link and says,"Curse you Link, CURSE YOU! I almost had it, my rightful place was almost mine! If only, all of you pests did not interfere! "

Ben holds his shoulder as he slowly walks forward and says," Well, good thing we did because no one wants you to win expect for a handful of nut jobs!"

Gannon then mutters out a deranged," Fools, think this is the end? Heh, this does not end here. The, history of light and darkness will forever be written in blood! No matter how hard you try hero, you will never find peace! Nothing can stop the return of Supreme Emperor Chaos Zannacross Necron! Sigma, Nightmare, Genesis, Kira and Darth Damonus will not take this lightly so enjoy your victory. Because if you think you suffered before prepare to experience nightmares beyond what you can possibly image!"

Ben just sighs and says," Xehamaru warned us about the same thing when we did him in and while its been a bumpy ride we have hanged through! No matter how horrible the full wrath of the dark side is, I am not going to blink to its horror again! It may have been brutal at times but even so, we will continue to fight no matter how hard it is."

Gannon laughs one more time before saying,"It seems, the wind, is blowing. But I will return someday, to have my revenge! the Dynasty of darkness can never be, stopped. RAHH!"

With that Gannon's face shatters, before the rest of his body turns red and explodes in the style of all those power ranger monsters, showing that they finally have beaten the king of evil Ganondorf! Seeing that at last her long time foe has been destroyed, maybe for good this time she sighs as she sees the ashes of the evil king blow away in the wind and says," So long Ganondorf. While you have caused me and the entire planet of Hyrule nothing but misery, I even have some sadness for you. You were always in need of power, to fill the void in your heart.

I suppose those who lack the light see darkness as the only option. However, just because a heart is consumed in darkness it does not justify it to lash out and inflect harm to others. For even when in the darkness it's indeed possible to reclaim the light. Link, Ben Auro, and all you other brave warriors, have showed me what the true face of heroism in the face of danger is. As long as strong wills exist, the darkness will never win."

She sees the images of the Six Sages smile and nod to their friend before they fade and return to the realm of heaven. Meanwhile everyone is just realizing that the battle is finally over and Cloud says," Looks like we pulled through another close one. Good job everyone, and nice work Ben, you showed you really have took the work of the Grand Master well. "

Doug ran over grinning as he says,"Ill say! Now anyone who doubts how great squad 7 just got served! Way to show them buddy!"

The blond man slaps Ben's shoulder, which causes his friend to scream very loud in pain.

Cloud then eyes his pupil carefully before saying," Er, are you all right?"

Ben laughs and gives Cloud a thumps up, or at least tries to before his hand falls back down and he says,"Don't worry Cloud Sensei, I'll be fine. Ow, now I see why Master Myers told me to pace myself with the Kaio Ken. At least, the fighting is over at last. Good thing to. Everything got, dizzy all of a sudden. I think, ill just lie down."

With that the Star sword falls out of his hand and he is about to fall backwards, and to the horror of his friends of the platform! However he is caught by Yuri and the pseudo leader of Brave Vespria pulls Ben up as his dog ally Repdede as he says," Easy there, don't want to end this day with a tragedy now. Heh, I'll admit you were fighting at a level above me out there Ben. You're the real deal, even if you can't pull it off without nearly killing you. Still, thanks for helping us protect are world."

Ben grins and gives a wink saying,"Oh it's no big deal, just doing my job. That and Ganondorf was being a jerk. "

Yuri looks up in the sky before looking at Dein Nomos and responds with a serious," Maybe, but you allowed us to fulfill Duke's wish. Just maybe we can survive after all."

Estelle walks over and adds a relived,"Yes, because of you Enji we were able to create a better future for not just one group, but both the Zaphas empire and the Guides! Thank you so much! Here, to show my appreciation please allow me to heal you."

Ben grins as he responds with a tired,"Well, you don't have to, although I would not mind hehe."

As the pink haired princess begins to use her magic to bring Ben back to full health Flynn walks over and says,"Once everyone hears that Ganondorf, a top member of the Zannacross Empire was controlling things for his dark order then hopefully things should stabilize and things can be peaceful here."

Raven then walks over and says," Don't send out party invites just yet. People have a knack for having fits over every little detail. Even after all this it will likely take a while before we can all hold hands. Still, I would not mind a little more restful times. "

Cloud walks over and says,"Well, before any of us will have peace the universal civil war still has to end and the Zannacross Empire has to be stopped once and for all. Still, I can say after what we have seen the world of Terca Lumeris will gladly be expected in to the Lylat Kingdom officially."

Yuri is about to say something, however he is interrupted by a large explosion that breaks out in front of them! Many more break out all over the Black Omen and James just re-positions his glasses before he casually states," Ah, looks like Ganondorf is another one of those sore losers that like to rig there ships to blow up when they die types. I suppose it won't be safe to remain here much longer."

Link sighs and reacts with a tense," Even through death we must deal with that madman's hatred. Um, you would not happen to have another one of those warp stars would you Kirby?"

He turns to the pink puff ball to see him look ashamed as he says," Sorry guy's...all out of them. Not only that but those battles made me so tired I can barely fly!"

Jade then says," Yes, it seems the bombardment of battles has nearly drained everyone; even I am an afraid to say I am a little tired. Would anyone happen to have any elixirs? Because otherwise this day is going to have a rather tragic ending. Ah, but thankfully there is another outcome, glad to see are allies were keeping a close eye."

He points to the upper left, and everyone sees both Cid's and the other pilots in the Airships closing in ready to board there comrades as Cid High-wind says,"Howdy fellas, looks like you put out one hell of a show! Sorry we were not able to give much support, was having a handful keeping this bird free of holes with all the stuff being thrown are way. Still, how about we make it up for a free ticket out of this soon to be thrash dumb?"

Cloud chuckles and reacts with a coy," Oh you and your dramatics Cid. Come on Squad 7, let's wrap this mission up."

Ben, thanks to Estelle and her healing magic back to full power and gets on his feet as he says," Sounds good to me, I am starving and have the odd craving for some ice cream. "

With that the Enji, Link, Zelda, Kirby and the members of Brave Vesperia hurry on board there ally's ships before they all blast of just in time to see the Black Omen explode! As Link sees it light up the sky he turns to Zelda and says," At last, one nightmare is gone. Maybe now the people of Hyrule can rest a little easy."

Zelda smiles and says," Well, there is the rest of Ganondorf's alleys to worry about. But even so, this is a day worth celebrating. "

With that the hero's return to the capital to spread the good news of Duke's failed plan, his manipulation, and the defeat of the one truly responsible for all of the worlds recent trouble.

We now fast forward a few hours later, after the Enji have returned to the capital, they have reported to Loder, King Dedede, and the others. A little while later the Enji are finally preparing to return home, and all the important personal of the planet's groups are there to send them off.

Some of them are the nephew of Don White hoarse Harry, the new leader of Nordopolica Naz, and others along with Loder.

They are all working on the official process to join the Lylat kingdom.

And as Cid, and Cid, and all the other Cid's work together with the top scientists of the world to figure out the best way to incorporate the technology of the Lylat Kingdom . Dedede looks at his own ship being ready to launch as he says,"Well, so much for this being a , thanks to Kirby and you all this day at least I can return to my own castle, get a big block of ice for my head, and take a nap!"

Yuri rolls his eyes and says,"Well, happy to give the penguin a trouble free ride home. So, what happens now? Lylat troops going to be crawling out of every house and creek?"

Ben laughs and retorts with a upbeat," Relax Yuri, the Lylat Kingdom is not about total domination under one flag, or at least how are current leader dose things. Sure, there will be a few ships stationed here, but its just to make sure the Zannacross Empire and Zeon forces don't cause any problems. Don't worry guys; your planet is still yours."

Yuri sighs and says,"Well to be honest it still feels like a big scam, but if the guys in charge are like you guys, then maybe it can work."

Flynn then adds," Yes, thanks to this we now know for sure that the Lylat Kingdom is something we can trust. "

Estelle then cuts in with a happy," Yes, I am so happy to see such unique and nice people! Oh, but I just hate this part, I never was good with good buys well."

Cloud looks amused and says," Don't worry, I am sure we will meet again Princess. Who knows, if you guys join the Enji Knights then we would not have to say good buy at all."

Karol is amazed to hear this and says,"Wow, really? Even someone my age could join the Enji?"

Ben looks amused and says," Heh, sure. The Enji Knights don't refuse potential recruits as long as you know what you're in for, your parents or others sigh of the papers, and you pass the tests. Don't take the tests lightly; they can be brutal trust me."

Karol jumps up in excitement and says,"Wow, maybe someday ill be a Enji like you guys and be as cool as you Cloud and the others! Er, your still the coolest though Yuri."

Rita sighs and says,"Look at you acting all like a kid, even if you are a kid. Still, it dose sound intriguing, to see the technology from all over the universe. And with Blastia done for there is not much tying me down here. But, I don't know, I don't want to leave if Estelle is going to stay."

Estelle blushes and chips in with,"Well, to be honest Rita, I was all ready talking with Zelda, Rose and Tear. And I have decided that if possible I would like to return with the Enji to see if I can have a position. I might be a princess, but Loder is more qualified for the throne. I want to help as many people as I can with my powers, and like it is for you, the chance to meet so many people and societies in the process is to good to miss!"

Judith sighs and throws in a curious," Ba'ul might get lonely, but I might want to tag along to. "

Raven chuckles and says,"Heh, never thought this old man would get such a sweet deal for a second chance at life. But you helped us out in a big bind and I would like to at least try and repay the favor. Besides, checking out the ladies from all the corners of the cosmos sounds like a sweet bonus."

Yuri then looks down and says,"Well, looks like you all maid up your minds pretty fast. "

Flynn looks perplexed and reacts with a unsure,"What is it Yuri? Don't tell me you would decline the offer to join the Enji Knights? "

Yuri chuckles and turns around before he answers with a quiet," Heh, let's just say I don't think a vigilante like me would fit in well with a group of warriors of light. Besides, someone needs to keep Repdede company as he guards the Lower Quarter from trash, especially with all the new types of hacks that will try and rip people of. "

Ben walks over to Yuri and says,"Don't be so you're that your not able to fit in. You would be surprised how open the Enji order is, even warrior dog's can make it in."

As Repede wags his tail and barks Hiryuumon walks over and says," Take the boss's word, no one even has a second thought of a Digimon like me being in the order, they serve me the special lunch desserts all the same! So even you guys can make it in if you try hard! Because if it's anything the boss and his pals have showed me, its that as long as you have good friends and give it your all anything is possible!"

Flynn then looks at Yuri and says," Yuri, are you just going to let it go like this? The people who command the entire world, and others are here. Now is the time to tell them all what you have done! "

Yuri just looks away and says,"Not this again."

Flynn looks upset and says," I am serious! Half of my achievements- or more- are really yours. But everyone thinks I Link, Kirby and the Enji did everything! Some of them even think you were still the one who kidnapped Princess Estelle and were part of the plot to destroy the world!"

Yuri looks down and says,"So what? It dose not matter who did the deeds, just that they got done. You think I would have have gotten in to what I did if I wanted glory Flynn?"

Flynn then looks upset before yelling out," Despite what you think Yuri your wrong! It does matter! Why do you always choose the option that is bad for you? Why do you try to bare everything by your self? You think I can't handle the burden? "

Yuri looks at his friend in the eye and says,"Your carrying what I can't. I know I can do what I want because someone is watching out for me. Let the higher ups think what they need to think. I told you I never cared about the glory. They can condemn me a criminal all they want, but as long as I am doing what must be done ill fallow this path no matter what it is. I never cared about being rewarded for my efforts. Call it being stupid but I am happy just helping others with or without rewards attached."

Doug nods before he adds a earnest," True that bro. Yuri you have my respect, I prefer the kind of guys who just want to keep it simple and don't put up with anything while they get what needs to be done to put a end to the annoying drama.

Ben laughs and adds,"Sadly drama can't just be swept away at times but we all do what we can do right Doug? Yuri Lowell, your one crazy guy. But, like I said, my cousin Max was like that. And even if he always went down his own road, and even when he acted so crazy sometimes even I thought he had gone nuts. Somehow he always turned up being right in some way, even today. That's why, even though I don't agree with all of your outlooks Yuri, I can tell you're a good guy. "

Yuri chuckles and says," Thanks, and your not the uptight morally stiff righteous overpowered tool I thought all you Enji were going to be. Expect for the overpowered part. Still, don't think ill join the Enji Knights just because I don't have to worry about your seal of approval." Ben laughs before looking sly and saying,"

All right, then how about this? Even after all you did to protect this world Yuri, you still have a lot to answer for. And the whole murdering high up officials' in cold blood, no matter how noble the cause and how much they deserve it, is not going to look good in the Lylat Courts.

And since we Enji Knights are responsible for bring criminals to justice, it would look bad if we let you go now. So, this can go down two ways. You can try and escape, and fail, and waste a whole lot of time in are state of the art prisons. And while even if we put in a good word it could take over a year at best thanks to the good old reliable bureaucratic justice system under normal circumstances.

OR, you could try and become an Enji Knight. And under are special redemption program you can work to repay your crimes by fighting to save the cosmos from evil, and have a nice room and fight with us. Your choice, but I think it would be the best option for both you and Raven personally."

Yuri looks down and his older partner member inches over to him while he says," Hey kid, word of advice, take the offer!"

Yuri sighs and says," Well, when you put it that way, my options are rather limited. Oh hell, at least it should be fun slashing through scum through out the galaxies. Find, ill take your damn offer Ben Auro, as long as its not a trap."

Ben laughs and holds out his hand while saying,"On my honor as a Enji, its not. And I know some throw around words like pride and honor like trivial things. But I assure you I don't."

Yuri walks over and shakes his hand while saying," I can tell you take the whole warrior's honor thing seriously. Oh well, at least it means I can trust you. "

Estelle looks excited and says," Oh this is wonderful! Now we can all be together and meet so many friends!"

Cloud then says," It's an honor to have all of you as part of the Enji Knights. So, when can you guy's leave because Cid was planning on leaving in three hours. "

As Estelle prepares to go on a long rant about how much she has to pack all of a sudden a new voice says," WAIT JUST A SECOND!"

Everyone turns around and they see the three bumbling idiots from before, Yuri 's long time " pal's " in the knights , Leblanc, Adecor and Bocoos run up and the leader of the trio points his sword and says,"

Were do you think your going Yuri Lowell! I don't care if even the princess, his majesty, and even Captain Schwann all are your pals! Your not just getting away form me! I told you, I am putting you behind bars no matter what!"

Yuri rolls his eyes and says,"Hey Cloud, is your ship considered one of those diplomatic immunity things?

"Cloud looks at the Neo High-wind and says,"

Well, in a matter of terms then yes. However I am not sure that, hey wait!"

Even before he looks up Yuri is running in to the ship's direction as he says,"

To hell with this, good thing I don't have much to pack! So long Imperial flunkies, don't worry I won't write! "

As he runs fast as he can with his dog behind him Flynn sighs and says,"

Oh that Yuri, he never learns. Still, don't know what I do without him."

Kirby the hops on his head and says,"You guys are funny, but in a good way! I am glad we were able to keep things from going bad!"

Zelda then says," Yes, I don't think any of us could have foreseen things going this way. But even if things got bad, I am glad we were able to get through it. "

Link then looks at Ben and musters a proud," Yes, I must admit I would have to say it's mostly because of your amazing power Ben. You really have improved a great deal even from when you defeated Xehamaru. I truly believe that you can fulfill your destiny. "

Ben smiles and reacts with a happy,"Thanks Link, that means a lot. I am glad, that I was able to make up for screwing up so much. "

Cloud then puts his shoulder on Ben and says,"Don't worry Ben, you will, one step at a time."

Ben then reacts to this with a kind," Thanks Cloud Sensei. Whew, now that the battle is over I am beat. No offense guy's, but the only thing I can think about at the moment is how the position my pillow."

Doug chuckles and says,"Sounds good to me buddy, after all the victory party can wait till later. "

James then says," Yes, while there are many more battles to come, I think we all could use a rest before we have to worry about them. Because, once the Zannacross Empire hears about Ganondorf's demise, they will be sure to make sure we pay the price. "

With that the hero's prepare to wind down before at last returning to Corneria. However little do they know that James's statement was more correct then even he realized!

We now return to the dark world of Vandalgyon, and its capital Neo Pandemonium! We now turn to the main chamber, where all the other inquisitors, along with Kira, Dr Robotnik and Damonus are in! The Shadow lord commanded the other villains to appear at once and Sigma is the last one to enter as he states,"Master Damonus, what is it that you desire?"

The heavily robed demon lord is just having his fist emit powerful deadly fire as he responds with a dark," I have ordered you all here because the master has sensed a great disturbance in the darkness, and I have just conformed it."

Genesis raises his eyebrow and says," Oh? And what is this upset? Must be rather large to have us all ordered here just to inform us when we are all busy preparing to merrily inflict more devastation. However never once have you been for ideal chatter my lord."

Kira or now Darth Judicar then rises and cuts in with a blunt,"To all inform you, that Ganondorf has been killed by Ben Auro, Link, and their friends."

Even for a group of hard core villains this news is not what they were expecting and Robotnik says," Preposterous! After all the modifications I made to help him create that masterpiece of a warship how could he have failed? "

Damonus then has a wall of fire appear on the wall to the left before the magically recorded image of Ganondorf 's final moments and Sigma snickers as he says,"Bah, he always was trying to make himself out as better then all of us. But despite his impressive power and magic, he always nothing more than a primitive man from a primitive world. Only the most evolved beings, a being like me, can properly bring the new era of darkness to creation! Ah!"

All of a sudden he is pined to the ground and Judicar walks over to him and says,"Careful Sigma. Pride was Ganondorf' s fatal error, and it will be yours as well if you do not embrace fully what must be done for are victory to be reached."

Genesis then snickers before cutting in with a dry," Ganondorf was quite a good sweeper. However he sadly could not think beyond basic traps and power + power equals victory. When I lay the Enji in to my web, there will be no breaking out of it!"

Nightmare then slams the ground with his Soul Crusher sword and says," Bah, enough of this. That idiot may have failed to defeat Ben Auro, but next time I see him he will NOT escape me!"

Damonus chuckles and says,"Yes, will I am glad to see your so geared to avenge your comrade. However, make sure you don't act on passion alone. This embarrassing defeat of one of are top enforcers will not be repeated! Do I make my self clear?

The fact that Ganondorf lost to Ben Auro, even after absorbing so much power including the full Tri-force that he spent so much time obsessing with is troublesome. Even if he was aided by his friends, the fact that he has become so powerful endangers everything we have worked so hard to do!"

Everyone then hears a large, ominous laugh as none other then Chaos says,"And that is why, the envoy of the celestial ones must be dealt with sooner then later and can no longer be dismissed as a simple joke."

Right after that a dark column of pure evil energy erupts rises out behind Damonus, and the dark god's demonic eye forms out of it to once more project him self from within his trans-dimensional seal!

His eye narrows and the pillar of darkness has a large claw form out before it smashes the ground and says,"Ben Auro, his power is catching up to the original welder of that sword, how very displeasing. Still, it can not change what can not be stopped. My return will not be prevented by any mortal no matter how much light he or she could amass! And even if he is able to become as powerful as the previous envoy of the light, he will merely share the same fate! My return draws near, and no being, mortal or not can stop me!

Ganondorf was a mortal who was someone who was one of the most in tune with the powers of darkness in all the cosmos. But even for all the power he possessed at the time of his demise, it was only a fragment of my power. And if Ben Auro truly thinks he can prevent the final judgment of this dimension, then at this rate I will have the pleasure of deleting him with my own hand!"

Judicar just gives of a small smirk as he says,"It's obvious that after the truth about me was found out, Master Myers decided to teach him some of his secret skills. But it matters not, for even the Grand Master of the Enji Knights is nothing to the knowledge and mastery I have acquired. And while they delayed fate for the moment, I will bring down Armageddon to those protecting a faulty path. With my master plan none can escape."

Sigma narrows his blue eyes and responds with a sarcastic," Oh so this time it's your master plan? What makes you think your so special, when we all seen that your no better then the rest of us in succeeding to wipe out the Enji Knights!"

Nightmare points his sword and at the former Enji and says," In the end you were not able to really change anything Judicar, why should you be are superior? "

Kira's energy flares up as he answers with a dearly serious," Because I was closer then any of you could never be to completing are goals. And that will never change. "

This of course causes the bad guys to aim there anger at the brown haired man and it seems the presence of Chaos is about to lash out to silence his minions when all of a sudden a new voice says,"

Now then, please calm down gentlemen. This behavior is most unsightly to the presence of are supreme god. "

Nightmare at once senses a new presence and says,"Where did this power come? Show your self or die maggot!"

He has his Soul Crusher blade glow but Kira looks down and chuckles before saying," Calm your self Nightmare, after all is that anyway to address your superior? "Everyone then sees a new figure enter, and more then half are them are shocked to see its none other the Xiza!

Sigma remembers seeing his profile and says,"What the, subcommittee member Xiza? How did someone from the Lylat Kingdom get in here?"

Genesis looks amused and says," We know you're the likely head of the ring leader of the space pirates and the Intergalactic Twilight Mafia mister Xiza. Still, you're authority is useless here. And if you're not going to pay proper respect to us then we will have to, huh?"

They all hear a deep laugh, and it's from none other then Chaos! Is projection forms as one eye and it glares at him while saying," Hahahahaha! You always were one to keep your true face hidden,

Xiza Belphegor. "

The green skinned man bows before Chaos and responds with a polite," My deepest sincere apologies for the unannounced return master. I had to make sure everything was set."

Sigma then narrows his eyes before reacting with a dry," Master Zannacross, dose this mean Xiza is another deep agent of the Zannacross Empire?"

The god of darkness just laughs madly as Damonus walks forward while saying,"Not quite Sigma. Xiza, has the highest rank here only to me. Because like me, he is one of Emperor Zannacross seven supreme demon lords that fought in the Great War between heaven and hell.

He is the only one beside me that was able to free himself from the seal placed by the celestial ones. However, unlike me he likes to play around. It was not till seven years ago did he reveal to the master and me he was free!"

Kira smirks and says,"Yes, it was around the same time that he revealed himself to me his true face. He and I have been planning are own path to freeing Supreme Emperor Chaos Zannacross Necron for some time now."

Damonus narrows his eyes as he says," Yes, you seem to think you can revive the master faster then I do you? How every vain of you to put pride over the return of are master!"

Xiza chuckles and counters with a playful," Relax Damonus, no one is doubting your great power. After all you are the leader of the demon lords and the second in command of the entire empire for a reason. But still, while your power is superior,I always was the craftiest demon lord. "

Nercon's has a claw of dark energy form out of his projection and has it hover over Xiza as he says," Enough Xiza! I have no patience for this! Unless you have something of value to present then get out of my sight or I will remind you what I do to those that cause me annoyance?"

Xiza just looks serious and responds with a suddenly serious,"Of course master Necron, I would never waste your time. In fact I came to offer my assistance. I know you are dealing with setbacks lately, and that is why I want to offer my own plans. And my plans will eradicate all of are enemies once and for all. It may have taken some time to set up this operation but once it goes in to effect nothing will stop me from reaping in my protected prospects. Yes, not even Ben Auro will be able to stop us! That boy, his stubborn cousin and all of his foolish associates will find themselves wishing they never even DARED to stand in the way of your revenge when I am done with them "

Well, it seems that Ben and the Enji scored a major victory today and proved his merits as the one chosen to defend the cosmos by at last defeating one of the Zannacross Inquisitors, and at last killing Ganondorf!

And as a bonus the Enji ranks now gain the ranks of Yuri and the rest of Brave Vesprira. However, while the battle has been won the war is still far from over. Damonus, Judicar, and Zannacross himself are sure to make Ben pay for there victory.

And now that Xiza has been revealed to be one of the seven great demon lords, the most powerful beings of darkness besides of the dark god, its like a revolving door of headaches for are hero's!

Can Ben recover in time so he and his friends can face the threats the future holds? Only way to find out is to check out the next tales of the cosmic wars!

In are next installment Ben and co return to Hallowed Bastion and are hero's try and rest up as Yuri and his friends begin there path to join the Enji. However, like they say, there is no rest for the weary! However, this new problem is much more personal, because it involves his top rival Ezan! Ever since Kira had fled the super elite warrior has been disgusted with him self for not being able to perform on the same level of Ben.

And hearing Ben's latest triumphs only makes his anger greater. For Ezan, someone who was raised his whole life to be the ultimate warrior, finding himself outclassed by Ben, even with the powers of the Star Sword and Master Myer's training, makes Ezan feel furious at himself, and all around him! Knowing that even Kira 's brutal training did not close the gap the sliver haired warrior has been trying to find a way to get better no matter what.

However as he finds him self reaching his limits this drives him self over the edge, and at the same time makes the spirit of Sephiroth inside him stronger, and his power over Ezan also gets stronger the more he despairs! In fact, the former first Class SOLDER 's power over Ezan 's mind is getting so great that he is able to take control for day's now.

And not long after Ben and co return they are shocked to hear from Squall that out of no ware Ezan and broken in to a ship and had blasted of on his own to the planet of Vana'diel, the home of the original founder of Zeon Ansem Zeon himself! Ezan thinks he is being called there and is on a path to crush another source of his anguish, the truth about his true origins. But little dose he know he is being lured by Vexen and the other dark Enji of Organization XIII, who once more are trying to lure Ezan to fulfill there goals! Ben and the others quickly chase after Ezan, but little do they know what awaits them! Wait will come of this? Find out in

Chapter 102: To Be or be Nobody, the Dividing Shadows!

Ah, and before we end this chapter a few author's notes. First, I hope this arc was able to at least get a lot more people wanting to play Tales of Vespria, even if I went a different path then that of the game. For those were the game is not out yet, I hope it comes out soon lol. Heh, my plan was to have an arc that was not very complicated moral wise for are hero's. Oh well, if certain stubborn ones that were so uptight to read any farther only to miss out, its there lost. Oh well, thanks for the reviews like always, and till next time.
