Ready for Ganondorf? I know you are, and so am I. .

But enough rambling. Big Boy Ganondorf, OG Zant, Darth Link, and Mr. Fabulous star in this chapter. Vaati is coming soon.

Chapter 27, bring on the bad guys.

Homecoming.

Only there wasn't anyone to welcome him. Not a single Gerudo home to welcome their king. Well, he did try to exterminate them through Cia, didn't he? The desert did look different, but he could see the Fortress was still on the mountain, but there were some burnt buildings. To the distance, a large ruin that he remember to be like an arena. This wasn't home as he remembered it during the Era of Time nor during his reincarnation when he faced the last Hero of the Four Sword. He actually should still be inside the sword, but it was somehow destroyed, he returned, and history repeated itself twice more. The last hero chopped him into pieces. Speaking of which, he had a bloodline to destroy and a spirit to forever break.

"Report, Twinrova."

The female voice rang in his head. "The plan is going well. Prince Joshua and the Sheikah are heading for the Valley of Seers as we speak, unaware of everything still. Your archenemies have no clue to our true intentions. They are in the open for a surprise attack."

"Good. We'll make our move now." Ganondorf turned around, facing the desert for the last time. He could go deeper, as he knows his people's location. But he knows they'll never return without their prince. And quite frankly, he never knew why he returned to the desert ten months ago. Nostalgia? Isolation? He didn't know. He didn't care. Commanding his three subordinates and his army to head for the Valley of Seers, he thought back on that day ten months ago.

10 months earlier

"Home sweet home, Master."

Dark Link and Ganondorf teleported to the desert after escaping from the Temple of the Sacred Sword. Ganondorf looked around. Monsters from Cia's army were here, and it saved Ganondorf some time to act build one up from scratch. It still wasn't large enough, and he would have to force them into submission, making the total number even less. He wasn't at full power yet, and Dark Link, despite his skills, wouldn't be able to take all of those monsters on. His grand plan would also need time, and he knew two people who could fulfill that segment. However, they can wait. He thought about the current situation, and remembered who Cia's last minions were. Rising his arms, he summoned the Usurper King and the Demon Lord.

They looked around, and saw the giant man and a shadow man from behind. Their first reaction was similar. How they address the large man was different. They both bowed.

"Lord Demise."

"My God!"

Ganondorf knew Zant from the second attempt on Hyrule during the Era of Twilight. He never knew Ghirahim personally, but he knew of the being the Demon Lord addressed him as. Ganondorf always thought himself Demise reborn. He turned around and looked at the bowed men. There was a severe lack of females. He misses his favorite female baddie. He could care less for the hags who created her, but when they combined, the resulting Gerudo would make even Ganondorf feel a little dirty. Last time, he permanently sealed the hags together, and the fusion left only the beautiful woman and her powers. They were a powerful duo, on the battlefield, and "on the battlefield".

His Nabooru was gorgeous.

His Twinrova almost made him stiff as a rock.

Ganondorf returned his mind back to the situation."Follow my every command, or else perish again."

The two bowed their heads in acceptance. Dark Link smiled. They easily became loyal, but now he wondered how great they were.

"Come. The Triforce shall be MINE!" Ganondorf summoned two giant swords, turned on his heels, and led his team into the desert.

The monsters were ready.

Team Ganondorf was ready.

"My God, the first thing we should do is give them a demonstration of our might!"

Ganondorf maybe wasn't a team player, but with the Hyruleans working together as a team, he at least could do the same. "Very well. Show off our strength by scattering the monsters in the nearby villages."

Ghirahim looked north towards the arena. "Allow me to gain control of the building in the north. Its aesthetic...speaks to me." Ganondorf nodded as he threw a dark ball of magic with his sword at the monsters. Zant went somewhere, leaving Master and Apprentice by themselves, showing why they're the eternal bad guys. Coming closing to the village entrance, they were denied entrance as it closed.

"Hss...Scheming. Keh...Fools! Destroy!"

Dark Link stabbed the horribly talking Lizalfos as Ganondorf thrusted his elbow in a magic ball, knocking the monsters back.

"Claiming the keeps should drive them out the village as well, my lord."

Ganondorf heeded Zant's words and directed Dark Link to the Central Keep as the Dark Lord went for the South Desert Keep. On arrival, a Lizalfos tried to challenge Ganondorf. Tried. After taking the keep, Ganondorf continued to wreck havoc on the southeastern side, even freeing a Darknut and the skeletal monsters.

"Now be a good dog and do as you master commands." Oh Ganondorf.

The three keeps were taken, and the monsters weren't happy.

"HA! Lizalfos avenge allies!" They began to rush out the Settlement Gates, and were greeted by a giant dual wielding swordsman, an all black figure, a lunatic, and their small army. It appears that the vermin have come out. A good opportunity to take the settlement."

Ganondorf decided to show his power. Raising his right sword skyward, lighting struck the blade and the enemies from above before Ganondorf sent the bolt from his sword to them. The monsters on the bridge were toast.

And soon, the settlement's monsters were toast.

"Such weaklings."

On the other side of the desert in the arena, the Aeralfoses were clueless about the passing events. Until now.

"Kya! Noise from outside!"

"Hssss...Shadows approaching..." They opened the doors, and the Sealed Grounds were opened.

"Kya! Protect territory!"

They were about to get some royal assistance. A loud rumbling shook the desert. The thing responsible was a King Dodongo.

"Have the worms come out to play? Heh, lovely." Zant turned towards his master.

"Leave King Dodongo to me."

Ganondorf nodded, and Zant was off. Ganondorf looked at Dark Link.

"Only if he looks like he's going to fail miserably."

"Yes, Master."

Looks like Zant was going to fail miserably as Dark Link joined the battle.

"Hmmm...my abilities seem to be lacking at the moment...I beg of you to help me!"

Dark Link scoffed as her threw bombs into the Dodongo's mouth. It instantly fell, and Dark Link took advantage, jumping unto the beast's knee and into the air, fatally stabbing the beast. He went to Zant. "Help? Aren't you a king in your own right? And you need help from me?"

Zant said nothing.

Ganondorf made it to the Sacred Grounds. And was trapped, alone, and surrounded.

"Feh! Tear to pieces!"

"Hmm...playing the fool, are we?" Ganondorf kneeled to the ground, summoning his power. It engulfed him, and the monsters looked in fear as they saw a black, shadowy boar with yellow eyes. It would be their last as it swiped at them.

"Hmm...small progress."

"Strength befitting the Demon King. How wonderful."

Ganondorf was going to say something, but Dark Link spoke to him. "We got the spider and the plant incoming, Master."

"Take the Gohma, Dark Link. I'll burn the plant." He looked at Ghirahim, and saw a group of monsters coming towards them. "Never mind. You can handle both, right?"

Ghirahim licked his lips. "Seeing those two together is quite a sight. I could watch this type of violence all day!"

"You know I can, Master."

Dark Link was excited. Thrilled. Sick with happiness. Leaving Zant behind, he first tackled the Manhandla.

The heads lined up, and Dark Link summoned a boomerang, and fired. He hit all four heads, and the core was exposed. Dark Link hacked away at the red core, deciding to have some fun. Before long, the monster revived, and back to square one.

This time was harder. Manhandla first shot a seed towards him, but not to hit him. Behind him, a head rose from the ground, spewing poison. He quickly got away, and Manhandla did it again and the same process repeated.

The next attack had all four heads fire a volley of seeds, and Dark Link was hit by some, and blocked the others. The heads were green again, and the shadow warrior threw his boomerang, hitting the two on the right. The last two returned to their metallic purple. The heads repeated the attack, but Dark Link was ready, blocking the volley and hitting the remaining heads. This time, he didn't play around, and used his power to stab the core with devastating results.

"How do they expect to defeat me? It's almost an unfair fight...by which I mean it truly is."

Manhandla was dead, but Dark Link wasn't given any time to rest. A blue laser barely missed him, but that proved to be Gohma's fatal mistake as an arrow was shot into its eye, followed by a powerful stab to it.

"The itsy bitsy spider fired at the dark warrior. Down came the sword and showed who's superior."

They were done, and the two villains of the past were astonished at their master's power.

"Now that's the power of a god!"

"Ganondorf reminds me of my old master, Demise. May his reign never cease!"

Master and Apprentice were overlooking the village, and Ganondorf was in thought when Dark Link spoke.

"This resistance was pitiful, but oh well. Not every battle can be worth retelling."

Ganondorf looked at his right hand. He's not use to not seeing the Triforce of Power absent from it. "Only one battle will be worth retelling, Dark Link. The one when the Triforce!-" He slammed his swords into the ground, and folded his arms as the shadow boar with the yellow eyes appeared behind him. Ganondorf began to chuckled evilly.

"-IS MINE!"

Shorter than most chapter, and next chapter is the battle between two Gerudo Kings for possession of the Triforce of Power!
