The four warriors returned to the Hyrulean camp, where they were greeted by the other Hyrule Warriors. Upon seeing the state of the weakened prince, they rushed him to the infirmary. Only one person was allowed to visit him.

"How is he, Doctor?"

"Your Highness, he's going to make it."

A small laugh came from behind him, and both Hylians looked at the Gerudo. "Of course I am, Doctor Borville. But can you give us some privacy."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The small doctor quickly escaped the room, and Zelda took a seat beside the bed.

"I guess this pig decided to fight a boar and lost."

Zelda smiled and patted the boy's head. "But it was for a noble cause. Although Link is kinda mad you faced him first."

"Well good thing he gets to eradicate the monster."

"Yes." They were quiet for a few moments before Zelda spoke again. "Ready to turn over command?"

"I'm the Royal Commander."

"So stubborn."

"But you can have it, for now until I get out this bed...Have you seen Lana?"

"She's outside. You must want to see her?"

He looked at her as if she was dumb. "No, I just want to see her hair, Zelda."

"Fine. Lana!" The White Sorceress entered the room, not looking at the Gerudo. "Happy now, Prince Joshua?"

"Very much, Princess Zelda."

"Then I take my leave." The Princess rose and left the room, leaving the couple behind. Lana finally gazed at Joshua, and sat next to him. Raising her arms above his body, she chanted a spell, healing and restoring his energy. When she was done, she made eye contact with her lover. Turning around, she sealed the entrance to the room, and climbed on top of Joshua.

"Hey."

"Excuse me, nurse, but I'm still not well. My face hurts."

She smiled. "Then I know of a therapy that can help that."

"What is it?"

"Little bit of love. But don't tell my boss." She connected their lips, and didn't hesitate to get wild with their kissing. It wasn't long before Josh wished that they were back in their tent, preferably their hot tub. Much more romantic than the infirmary. Needing some air, she broke the make out session. "That was very brave."

"And stupid."

She kissed his forehead and cheeks. "And stupid."

"Lana do you have to go back to watching over the Triforce and all that?"

"Yes. I have to. Someone does, I think."

"But I don't want you to do that."

"I'll need a reason to stay."

"We can keep close contact."

Lana giggled. "We are in close contact now."

"Ten-four, Princess." Joshua got into a sitting position and resumed the session. Only this time, he wanted everything now. Even if it was in an infirmary. He went from her lips, to the cheek, to the neck, and to the shoulder, and to the-

"AAHHHH!" He looked up. He knew that wasn't a cry of pleasure from Lana.

"Lana?"

She was clutching her head as her and Joshua separated. "I'm sorry...really... It's just that Cia...she's in trouble! She's being attacked!"

The ex-bearer of Power knew who and why. "Ganondorf! He's after his favorite piece of the Triforce."

She opened her eyes and looked into his. "What are we gonna do?"

He whispered, "Well, we could have fun in an infirmary, or save the Triforce of Power...and Cia."

She gave a dirty minded grin, accompanied by a dirty minded tone. "Which do you prefer?"

"...Fun in the infirmary, but we got a job to do. Get our stuff." He turned to Lana as he stood up. "Tell Zelda to meet with me ASAP."

Not disappointed at all, Lana began to smile from her position. "Ok. See ya, and remember, it's dangerous-"

"THANK YOU LANA! Seriously, the joke has run its course."

Moments earlier

Volga and Cia stood beside each other at the top of the pyramid in the Valley of Seers, as their Dark Forces were fighting the army of Ganondorf. Neither were excited. They knew the Hyrulean Army was on the way, probably delayed due to the prince's energy, and the couple were making the most of it. You thought Josh and Lana was not my usual style? These two were Rated OMG, The Noise is Killing Me! Shut Up!

But now they were angry. "The Triforce is mine, Ganondorf, and you'll never take it from me."

"He won't get close, Cia. I'll rather die first."

Cia would've responded, but someone had to interrupt. "Bah. It's power is to great for you to contain, but I see you won't give it up willingly."

"You'll have to kill me first, asshole!"

"Ha ha ha. So be it!"

The duo then saw the arrival of two large Gohmas, and Cia turned to her lover. "Don't die out there, dragon."

Volga sprouted his wings, and gave a glance at Cia. "Not today." He flew into battle, and Cia looked sadly into the distance. Volga wasn't the Hero. But he was her hero. And although she couldn't admit it, she did love him. Ever since Chapter Six and despite the author never playing attention to it again until Chapter 11, she loved him. But they were in their final hours, and he was out there, fighting for her.

"Don't die, my love."

"The eastern side is mine to play with. You can worry about the western side, Wizzro."

No response.

"Wizzro?" Nothing. "Where the hell is the Poe!" Finding a Gohma, Volga began to fall towards into it.

It never saw him coming as he stabbed his new trident into the eye of the monster. "Cia, where's that damn Poe!"

"I-"

"Don't celebrate your victory yet. Here's another treat for you."

The ground began to quake before Manhandla appeared. It began to fire seeds at the pyramid.

"The tree monster now? Simply wonderful! WIZZRO!"

The Poe finally appeared, and bowed(?) to the witch. "Yes, Mistress?"

"Keep Manhandla at bay!"

Wizzro's eye grew wide before he spoke. "But...I haven't even healed my wounds from that last battle at the Temple of-"

"GET THAT FLOATING ASS OUT THERE AND KEEP MANHANDLA AT BAY!"

Wizzro floated away, feeling dejected. "Yes ma'am." As he floated, he saw how Ganondorf's boss monsters was fairing against Cia's. He was surprised at the aggressive might of them. "Just look at Ganondorf control those creatures. When he says 'Kill," they say 'How painfully?'" The Poe began to formulate a plan of his own.

Volga defeated the second Gohma after giving it a slightly fair battle. But he was going to win anyway. "Excellent. We are ready for a counteroffensive! Wizzro, commence the assault!"

Nothing.

"Wizzro!"

"I...don't think so. My services belong to the strongest. Lord Ganondorf!"

I wish I could express the rage Cia and Volga had, but let's compare it to the power of a Super Saiyan. However, Ganondorf was, if he didn't express of sound like it, excited. "You would turn traitor, little magician? If so, prove it by defeating your former allies."

"Hiya ha ha! Yes, let me demonstrate my power! You won't be disappointed. I promise. Poes, attack Cia and Volga."

"You better not." Ganondorf folded his arms and looked to his side. "Looks like someone took your spotlight."

Dark Link scowled at the thought. "He can have it, Master. He'll fail anyway."

Manhandla learned the hard way about fire. Metal may withstand it longer than organic material, but when it gets hot enough, nothing can survive.

It also learned that when a woman is mad, stay away. "You disgusting little cretin! I'll annihilate you for this!" She meant that for Wizzro, but the same could be said for Manhandla. "Volga, Wizzro isn't our concern. Focus your efforts on the vermin headed to our base first!" Volga once again flew off to find the Big Poes. Cia just looked towards her base, scepter raised towards it. She fired some of her power towards it. "Ahh, no matter what betrayals I may suffer, at least I know the hero will always love and protect me." She really didn't mean it.

Volga saw the rise of the Dark Links, which took a lot of magic to summon. Plus, he heard her previous statement. "As I thought. The constant use of dark magic is unhinging the great sorceress."

"The hero...will keep my base safe. That will allow me...to take on Ganondorf." She teleported to right in front of the South Sanctum. "Ganondorf! I'll tear you into so many pieces that NO ONE will be able to put you back together!"

Ganondorf gave a chuckle fit for a king. "An interesting offer, but I don't see much of an upside to me. Away with you!" Ganondorf raised his hands, and a Barrier of Darkness surrounded the keep. Cia was inside.

"Curses! It's a trap!" Perfect time to say that, Cia. "Hiding behind a barrier? Coward! No matter matter. I'll retreat for now and save my strength." Cia returned to her base, and saw Volga finish the last Poe.

Or she thought it was the last one. "Hiya ha! The number of monsters have waned? So? The battle is far from over!" The wizard summoned more monsters, but it was in exchange for his powers.

Back at the pyramid, Cia and Volga were side by side, decimating their foes with extreme prejudice. Wave after wave, more monsters came as Wizzro summoned more and more, but the ill fated lovers stood firm. When he felt everything was good, Volga held Cia by the waist and swooped into the air. "Well Volga, this is very romantic."

"Definitely." They landed in the West Keep, right behind Wizzro. He was too late to turn as Volga went to poke his eye out. He barely deflected it, but Volga was stronger in power. The dragon knight flew into the air in his full dragon form and proceeded to incinerate the Poe. Cia joined in the fun, unleashing a deadly blast of power from under Wizzro. Once she felt he had enough, which was for some time, she command Volga to stop his attack. They walked over to the wizard, saying nothing. The next thing Wizzro knew was that he was returning to the ring. "NOOOOOOO! MISTRESS CIA! PLEASE!"

",Please understand, you were a failure before, but now, you're just a specter of what you were. A huge failure."

Volga smiled. "Goodbye, Wizzro." The Poe was fully returned to the ring, and Cia twisted it to her finger.

"Enough playtime. It's time to take back the ruins."

Once more, Volga and Cia faced more monsters from Ganondorf's forces. Even with three fragments of his soul, Ganondorf was still a force to be reckoned with. "I...underestimated how much strength Ganondorf still possessed."

"Cia, please, you must retreat. You cannot hope to continue given your state."

She knew it, but she still wanted to fight. "Don't worry about me! Worry about winning this battle!"

Despite saying that, a fraction of her forces began to retreat in fear. She knew this battle was a lost cause. "The hero is still by my side. The hero is still by my side." Oh, she wished.

"We're gonna need a miracle, Cia." Oh, he will get one. It starts with another dragon flying into the area.

"This is your pilot speaking. To your left, you see giant blue balls raining on the green gremlins. Those are coming from the hot co-pilot Lana. To your right, you see a dragon knight and a half dressed sorceress looking surprised as hell. To the south is a dick. A very hairy one." The Prince of Gerudo and the White Sorceress jumped down and landed beside the two tired warriors.

"Cia, you have to stop using magic. It's eating your mind!"

"Lana...? Oh...what was I doing? Oh right, I have to kill Ganondorf."

"We can help you! Together we can beat him!" While the women talked verbally, the men talked with their weapons. They weren't thrilled to be working together, but Volga realize that him and Cia weren't going to win alone.

Volga tilted his trident at Josh. "For once, I fight alongside a worthy adversary. Let's demolish the pig."

Josh connected the rod to the trident in a show of respect. "Let's deal with the pig."

Back with Big Boy Ganon, he was surprised that the two women, despite the last few weeks, were working together. "Hmm. I thought I separated those two permanently. No matter, I'll just kill them together...what the hell is that?" Ganondorf saw a giant red balloon head into the area...there were several of them. One dropped a huge bomb in the east. The others carried soldiers.

The Hyrulean Army had arrived in kooloo limpah style.

"So that's how they want to play. Fine. I'll show them my power."

"Ganondorf is getting stronger by the minute! We have to beat him soon!"

"He's covered his lair in a darkness barrier. We can't even get close to him!"

Lana quickly came up with a plan. "I think I can dispel the barrier, but I'll need your help, Cia."

"Fine. Give me a moment with Volga." She walked up to the dragon knight, and without a pause deeply kissed him.

"They're...kissing, Lana."

"Looks like she found her hero."

"You think..."

"Oh, they totally firetrucked."

He turned around. "Alright, men and women, we are going to move upon Ganondorf's base with the Dark Forces. Suck it up, I'm not happy either." He looked back at the still kissing couple. 'Hopefully the plan works and we won't have to fight.'

It was a trial, but with the assistance of an air raid from Tingle and any troops still in the air, the four warriors made it to the barrier. Ganondorf just snickered.

"Aww, it's the boy and his blue haired girl."

"Suck it, Ganondorf!" Lana and Joshua raised their hands, and together they took out the Barrier of Darkness.

"And light beats darkness!" Joshua proceeded to enter, ready for a rematch against Ganondorf, but Lana held him back. "This is their battle. Let's fall back to the middle."

"Alright."

Volga entered the keep, but Cia stood back. She didn't want to waste her powers yet. But she was surprised by Volga's courage.

Volga and Ganondorf were evenly matched so far, as the dispelling of the barrier weakened the Demon Lord. The two constantly taunted the other, but it didn't stop their skills. However, Cia knew one thing. She saw it during the battle between the prince and the demon. Ganondorf doesn't like surprises, and he can't adapt to a sudden one. She slipped some magic to Volga, and the warrior felt it. He knew it was time. He flew into the air and balled up.

"Aww, the dragon knight giving up? What a waste of space you are." Ganondorf turned his attention to Cia. "You're-"

Ganondorf was sent flying to a wall, and was instantly impaled. Volga knew he wasn't dead, but to heal the wound that large would take a lot of energy. Especially if your stabbed in three spots. He released Ganondorf, and relished the sight of blood on the trident and spilling from the victim.

"You're...beneath my notice. I'll leave you...to wallow in your insignificance." Ganondorf and his forces retreated to wherever they go.

Lana was excited about the victory. "Great! It looks like we fought him off."

"Yeah, for now."

"Then you don't need to be here anymore, do you?"

Josh began to point the Magic Rod at her. "Surrender, and we'll leave. I'll even vouch for you."

Lana began to plead. "Cia, you can just stop, you know. And if you use anymore magic, you'll..."

Cia laughed and disappeared, speaking telepathically to the duo. "Just leave...or die. No one can stop me from getting everything I want!"

"Then you leave us no choice, witch." He pulled out his Gossip Stone. "Come on in."

"This isn't good."

It was now a disaster. It's been an hour since Ganondorf's defeat and the Hyruleans began battle against their temporary allies, the Dark Forces, and the Hyruleans were split and surrounded. Any communication between them was left to Josh and Zelda. They are the two most important people in terms of rank. However, they needed to act quickly, before energy became a factor. Josh only knew one woman to call on.

"Lana, I know this is a bad time, but do you have a plan?"

"...No."

He took his frustration out on a group of Bokoblins. "If only we could sap her powers."

Lana had a lightbulb moment. "...That's it!"

"What?"

"The sanctums have been taken over, locking their powers away! That's the monster's secret! There's one to our north, and one to the southeast!"

He frantically pulled out his Gossip Stone, and screamed so everyone could hear him. "Listen! We must head for the Goddess Sanctums and reclaim their sacred power! According to Lana, there's one near you, Zelda. It's the southeastern keep!"

He heard Impa cheer. "Thank the Goddess! By the end of this battle, Cia will be no more! May we bring glory to Hyrule!"

"Thank you, Joshua and Lana. Stay safe."

"You too, Zel." Lokking at his team consisting of Lana, Groose, Link, Midna, and himself, he sent the girls to capture the Western Keep and the West Ruins. The West Sanctum was for the glory of men. The army charged north, using their newfound morale to drive them forward. The army may not be recognized as their leaders will, but the soldiers will be damned if Hyrule fell because of them. They stormed the sanctum, and the monster's inside didn't stand a chance. One down, one to go.

"IT'S CUTE HOW YOU ALL BELIEVE YOU CAN DEFEAT ME. BUT I WON'T FIND IT CUTE MUCH LONGER!" A huge wave of monsters headed towards the guys.

"Joshua, Groose and I can handle them. We need you to keep contact with Zelda."

"Alright."

In the east, Darunia and Fierce Deity led a ground assault as Tingle gave the monster's a present with an explosive surprise from the air, clearing the way towards. The Goron looked at his old friend. "Like old times, huh?"

The Hylian smiled. "Yea, except I held the hammer."

"MR. FAIRY! I'm outta bombs, my trophy of myself needs cleaning, and I... I got a huge balloon to pop. Shall I use it on the sanctum thingy?"

"Yes, Tingle." Deity could've swore he saw the man's eyes turn into hearts. The fairy-man flew towards the East Sanctum, his balloon bigger than ever

"What is he doing, brother?"

"I have no-"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

"-idea."

"...That was AWESOME!"

"Hope Tingle is okay."

"Alright Lana, enough sympathy. We've captured both the sanctums in the east and west, yet the Dark Power remains."

Lana smiled and winked at the prince. "Don't lose your focus. There's is still one more sanctum out there!"

"Where is the other sanctum? Can't you remember?"

She looked around as she spoke. "There are three sanctums. One in the east, one in the west, and...right! Head south!"

"Alright...that's a lot of enemies." He decided there's only one person to call. "Oh Tingle! We need some Kooloo Limpah in the south!"

It wasn't long before a bombing raid took place in the targeted area. They could hear the mad laughing and the scream of the phrase as the fairy-man dropped several small bombs. When he was done, Tingle landed at the location of the Gerudo Prince and the White Sorceress.

"Now that'll be 398 rupees, Mr. Prince!"

"Ugh."

Groose and Link were struggling to keep the monsters at bay. Cia especially targeted the West Sanctum, as it was the closest one to her.

"We can't keep this up!"

"We must hold out, Groose! For everyone else's sake!"

"You sound like Link!"

"You sound like Groose!"

In the east, Zelda and Impa flowed like two tributaries going into the main river. Separate, they were good. Together, they were great. Zelda had just finish an aerial light arrow attack when a large number of monsters headed for her group. She looked at Impa. Impa looked back. "Asking you to fall back is futile, isn't it, Your Highness?"

"Yes it is, Sheikah."

"Stubborn. Then let's show them the light!"

The Gerudo Prince and his three companions led the charge south to fight off any remaining monsters while Lana secured the South Sanctum. Sadly, Tingle pretty much wiped out every monster, even most of them in the sanctum. The Hyruleans had all three very soon. Josh gave the good news. "The Dark Power has weakened! The battle is shifting in our favor!"

"SO YOU MANAGED TO RETAKE ALL THREE SANCTUMS? HMM. I DON'T THINK I LIKE SURPRISES!" At the pyramid's top, Cia tried to contain the power she was using in her crystal ball, but she couldn't. It shattered as a result.

"Uaaaahhh!" She began to fumed. "Allow me...to teach you a lesson!" Summoning her power, multiple orbs scattered throughout the field. One such orb turned into a Gate of Souls near Lana, and as she looked towards the summit, she could see a huge barrier of dark power that began to collapse. Lana was concerned for her other half. "Cia! Stop! Your spirit can't handle much more of this!" Not like Cia could hear her. Her spirit was beyond help now.

"Her heart was cursed, Lana. All for the fleeting power that darkness can provide." If they weren't in the middle of battle, Lana would've cried her heart out. But she had to do something else.

"I...must finish this. I must bring her down, Josh."

"No other person should besides you."

"Zelda..."

Zelda looked around for the owner of the voice before she heard her name called twice again. She answered the third call. "Yes?"

"The time to use my power is at hand. Come to the Fairy Fountain!"

Zelda finally realized who called. "Great Fairy? Is that you?" Pulling out her Gossip Stone, she called to everyone. "Everyone, I have to head to the Fairy Fountain!"

Impa walked over to Zelda. "It's dangerous to go alone. Take me!"

Josh scolded Impa. "Very original. Seriously, the joke is done. Zelda, my little band will meet you at the fountain ASAP."

Darunia voice was heard next as he and the Fierce Deity joined them. "Hey, don't hog all the fun! We're coming too!"

Midna giggled throught the Gossip Stone. "I should probably tag along. You're less likely to get into serious trouble if I'm there."

"Alright then. Let's go!"

The five warriors made it to the fountain and Zelda gave instructions. "The Great Fairy instructed me to make this location our base. Also, we need to draw out as many enemies to the area north of the fountain as possible. Darunia and Fierce Deity, head east. Link and Groose, come this way and draw any enemies from the west over here. Josh, Tingle, and Lana, come to the fountain. All troops, head inside once everything is in position! I'll use this fountain's Magic Circle to destroy them in one big attack!"

"Yes ma'am!" Everyone moved to their objective, and the monsters followed. It took a few minutes, but as the last soldier made it inside, all that remain outside was Link and Josh when the dragon knight arrived.

Proxi flew behind Link's shoulder in fear. "Link, something isn't right about the dragon knight! I've never felt power like this before!"

"Proxi is right, Josh. Let's head inside!" The two ran, and Link was the only one to make it. Volga had attacked the prince.

"You will die here, boy!" The dragon swiped for the prince's head, and almost had him. Josh tried his best to defend himself, but the knight was too strong. There was only one way to weakened him.

"Zelda! Use the Circle! That's an ord-"

Volga grinned in victory as the prince looked down. Volga's spear was in him. "Long live the king!" Volga pushed the prince off his trident and the boy collapsed onto the ground. Volga walked over to him, ready to repeat the action. "Any last words?"

Joshua gave him a bloodied grin. "And...here...we...go!"

The dark sky began to illuminate as the symbol of Hyrule shone across the sky. Volga never noticed that the prince was rolling away as a beam of light struck the land, taking everything, except Volga, to their demise.

The Hyrulean Army almost flooded out the fountain as soon as the beam disappeared, and were faced with the dragon knight and the monsters that had arrived from the pyramid. Now they were cornered. Volga walked up to Zelda.

"Surrender, and I might be mercifully. Don't end up like your prince." Zelda looked to the spear, and couldn't believe the sight.

"He's..."

"DEAD!" Zelda looked at Link, Lana, and Impa, hoping she hadn't heard right. But like her comrades, they looked in disbelief. Or, in Lana's case, began crying. Link went to comfort her, but all eyes were on Zelda. She looked back at her soldiers, who for three weeks had been in this war, separated from friends and family. She thought of her subjects, who could die or already be dead. She thought of the dead prince, and how his people was targeted. What would he do in this situation?

Remembering the words of her ancestors, she made her decision. She turned to Volga, and with a smile that almost made Volga flinch, she held her hand up, summoning an orb. It divided into fourths, to the south, east, west, and above the Fairy Fountaim "We will not surrender."

"CAWWW!" She looked to the direction of the voice. It came from the western sky. A large, colorful wave was on route to the valley straight out the portal.

Volga saw it too. "What are those?"

There was one person who knew, and his name was Groose. He grinned as he said one word. "Loftwings!"

Link looked in amazement. "The Hyrulean Army. Reinforcements have arrived!"

A huge quake began to shake the ground, and a huge thunder shoom from the south. "What's that rumbling? Sounds like a ton of Gorons rolling!"

Darunia began to dance as he spoke. "That's because it is my brothers, the Gorons! And look!" A portal to the east added the final group. The Hyrulean troops under Generals Auru, Rusl, Shad, and Ashei, and the surprising sight of the Zoras and Kokiri.

"YOU WANT HYRULE? THEN YOU WILL NEED TO WIPE US ALL OUT!" On top of the fountain there was the Sage of Water Princess Ruto, the Sage of Forest Saria, the Sword Spirit Fi, The Bug Princess Agitha, and the loudmouth Impaz. But the yeller was male.

Link squinted and saw... The present-day Ralph, Pipit, Malon, Colin, and Karene. They joined the Hyrulean Army!

Volga seethed in anger. "KILL THEM AHHHHHHH!" A huge fireball crashed into the Dark Forces. Only one guy could do that. "Suck on these balls, Dragon Breath. Like the boy said, you want Hyrule, take it from us Hyruleans!'

Zelda gave her decision. She pointed her Sword at the pryamid's peak. "Hyrule, ATTACK!" The troops responded, and the battle resumed. Even the one between a powered up Volga, and a newly powered up Joshua.

"How did you live!"

Joshua smirked. "Nayru's Love and blue potion, duh!"

"Ruarrgh! Prepare to meet your fate!"

"You call this a fight? Pathetic! I use to believe you were an honorable warrior."

"Haaa. Don't mock me!" Volga locked his weapon with Joshua, and began to win the test of strength as Josh powered down.

"Where has your honor gone? Are you content with being a mindless servant? What would your wife, your children, your men and women think of you 500 years ago, General Volgan?"

It took Volga a while before he powered down and expelled all darkness from him. "No...NO! I will not be ruled by darkness! The battle between us is nearly at an end. Now let me show you how a true warrior finishes a fight!"

The fire warriors fought with a newfound purpose: to end the other. And their battle reflected that as the ferocity of them fighting create sparks as rod collided with spear. One mistake, and everything for one of them is over.

Volga made that mistake by taking flight.

Turning into his dragon form, he began to twirl as he came down. He hoped to hit the prince. He hit the prince's trademark move, and got a face full of the Gerudo's power.

"Hate to DRAGON the fight a little longer, Volga." Josh changed the rod into an axe. "Any last words?"

"So now I lose, but I do so without regrets." He lowered his head.

"Very well, Volga, Dragon Knight." Josh brought the axe down.

The dragon knight was dead.

Lana and Josh journeyed up the pyramid to end it all. Between them and peace was Cia. They were on the steps that led to Cia.

"Lanacia. That's what Volga said. Lana. Cia. Lanacia. Ewwwwwww, you use to love Volga?"

"Uhhh...yea, but I don't now."

He looked forward. "She does, and she's dying. I'm many things, but taking love away is cruel. Unless you go crazy. So..." He pulled her to him. "Let's finish what we started when we first started finding fairies." He was about to continue, but you can't talk and kiss at the same time.

After breaking it up, Lana entered the keep alone. And there stood Cia. Any remorse Lana felt was quickly fading. Cia had to be stopped.

She narrowed her eyes. "Cia."

"Lana." Cia began to walk towards her light twin.

"Cia." Summoning the Book of Sorcery, Lana prepped for battle.

"Lana." Cia summoned her Scepter. "Do you really think you can defeat me?" She laughed in disbelief. "Why don't you disappear!" A huge circle formed under Lana, and she barely dodged certain death.

"I'll finish this once and for all!" Lana held her hand forward as she formed three walls. Two to crush Cia. One to blow up in her face. Using the opportunity given to her, Lana created another trio of walls, and slammed them into Cia, and sandwiched her into the keep's wall. Next thing Cia knew, she was being hit with electricity before Lana once again exploded the wall of electricity. When Cia recovered from that, she was boxed in a cube, and Lana began to play with it before exploding it. Last, she created six walls, and exploded all of them as Cia bounced into them. Lana stood over Cia, frowning. Cia saw a change in Lana, and it explained how she was able to attack so quickly. Lana was surrounded by an orange aura. She had unlocked her Focus Spirit. "Give up, Cia."

"Hnnn...that hurt. Lana, YOU. WILL. DIE!"

One Cia is bad enough. Four Cias is very bad.

"Uh oh." Lana wished she could have some help as all four Cias advanced towards her.

A light arrow struck one of them, and the power of light disintegrated the false Cia. One began to suffocate as a bubble of water formed on her head. A third was crushed under the might of a giant hand. The last one- definitely Cia- was held by a group of vines. Only two guys were present, and they were late.

"Link, your harem saved the day!"

"Shut up!"

Cia was released, and only the four heroes of this age were in the keep with the dying Cia. Lana held onto her as the two royals and the Hero stood back. They didn't know what the two women were talking about.

"Lana...I thought this is what you wanted..."

"Cia..."

"We've seen how this ends...and we both know he doesn't choose you. How do you do it, knowing you'll get left behind?"

Lana looked back at Link and Zelda, who were (unconciously) holding hands. She turned back to Cia. "You don't always get the person you think you deserve...and I can live with that. Sometimes..." She turned to the smiling Joshua, and smiled back.

Cia smiled. "You always were...my better half..." Cia began to shine, and before Lana could say anything, Cia had faded away to join Volga in the Sacred Realm.

But not everything disappeared. A small golden light began to fly towards Joshua, and it was revealed to be the Triforce of Power. He caught it with his right hand and nodded to the other bearers. Lana turned around and made the same gesture.

In the southern area of the valley, the 15 warriors stood on two sides. The heroes of the past on one, the heroes of the present.

Behind the heroes of the past were the four portals that'll send them home. It was quiet before Midna ran up and hugged Joshua. "Well, that's that. See you next crisis! And thanks for the drinks."

"My pleasure, Princess." Before he could let her go, she gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

"No, the pleasure is all mine." She winked and walked back beside Agitha. Ruto wasn't going to let Midna one-up her, so she ran towards Link, gave him a nice, big smooch on the lips, and ran back to her group.

But no one gets ahead of Groose, and he finally completed his dream. It wasn't his Zelda, but he'll take it. As soon as her returned, the 9 warriors returned to their time, and the portals were shut.

Josh quickly rubbed his cheek. "That happened."

Zelda quickly rubbed her lips. "Uh-huh."

Link, being overdramatic, began to spit on the ground. "I just got kissed by a fish!"

Impaz just had to voice her mind. "I thought you liked fish."

"I like fish, but not Zoras."

Zelda, ready to restore all that was lost, switched the subject. "Let's put Hyrule back in order." The three bearers held their fists out, and the pieces of the Triforce rose to form the complete Triforce. They made the silent wish to restore Hyrule, and watched as the three eras vanished the way they came. And for the first time in a week, the sky was blue. Hyrule was restored. The six looked around, enjoying the sight.

"There. Things should be in order now. And with that, I should go." Lana began to walk away.

Zelda asked the question. "Lana...Will we meet again?"

The White Sorceress stopped walking, and looked to the ground. She couldn't bear to face her friends. She had a duty to the goddesses, one she had just corrected. Now to return everything to normal. With a final sigh, she stepped away from the Triforce Bearers. "Goodbye." No one stopped her after that.

Lana returned to the summit of the Valley of Seers, facing the final Gate of Souls. Using her magic, she closed it. As she looked up, a white dove passed over her, taking her eyes to the faint sight of Hyrule Castle.

Back home, Zelda and Impa walked onto a balcony, looking over the grassy field that laid ahead. On the rail sat a white dove, and it took flight as the duo watched it fly away. Zelda took her gaze to Link and Joshua, who were riding their horses. They were looking back at the Princess and Sheikah before Josh caught Link's attention. "We have a spirit to seal. Let's ride!"

"Right."

He had arrived at the Temple of Souls hours ago, awaiting for the seal to break. While his master recovered, his task was to make sure nothing happened. He knew the seal was almost ready. It was just a matter of time.

SNAP!

The chains loosened, and the final fragment of his master's soul was free. He bowed as the other three fragments retreated from his pouch. They began to circle each other, and then collided.

"Link? I feel something isn't good."

"Let's move!"

The twerps were coming. He smiled. It was too late as he spoke. "Master. Your power is back."

"Rightfully so, Dark Link. And look who's here." The two evildoers faced their respective opposites as Ganondorf gave an evil laugh before he and Dark Link disappeared.

"Sweet Hylia."

"Damn." He took out his Gossip Stone, and called to Zelda. "Zellie?"

"Josh. Link. Has the Master Sword been replaced?" The two guys looked at each other before Link spoke.

"Zelda, right now, our eternal battle has resumed. Ganondorf has returned to full power."
