Last chapter was crazy. Link and Zelda are a couple and Peach is crazy. Though in this chapter we have a bit more of the craziness. this chapter is not meant for the young ones, all because of Snake. Last Chapter of Legion of Doom as well! Enjoy!
Chapter 11
(Ganondorf's P.O.V)
"GET UP! God, you are so lazy!" Anastazia yelled as she jabbed my side with her high-heels, which she usually would do constantly. I found that I had fallen asleep on the ground and sporting a new bruise below my right eye, along with a painful spot where Ana was stabbing me with her shoe.
"Ana, stop." I said groggily. I could barely open my eyes due to the brightness. Anastazia stood beside me, her hair the same color as mine as well as it being long and layered. "Why do you insist on waking me up with the means of pain?"
She knelt to my level, so just enough for me to see her face without it being covered by light. "Ganondorf, that's how I always wake you up. I learned that from you."
"I didn't think you would have applied that here. I'm probably bleeding from your freaking heels, Ana."
"Well, maybe you should get up, so we can watch these girls attempt to kill themselves. They are jumping from ledge to ledge on the exterior of the Halberd. It's honestly quite amusing. Although, Zelda seems to have disappeared."
My eyes widened and I got to my feet immediately after she had said that. How could have either Princess leave?
"Ana, what do you mean by Zelda seems to have disappeared?"
She crossed her arms and darted her eyes to the screen. "Look for yourself."
I pushed past her and found that she was right. Zelda was not with Peach, it was some other woman. This one was similar to a ninja. Her face was almost completely covered by white cloth, and her blonde hair peeked out from under the wrappings on her head. She had a very serious look about her. They were defiantly on the Halberd and near Cia's location.
"Do you know who she is? Meaning, did you Google this girl?" I asked, without taking my eyes off of the screen.
"Her name is Sheik. Last surviving member of the Sheikah Tribe. The tribe that-"
"Was loyal to the Royal Family, yes. I know that much, Anastazia. Why Sheik is here, I don't know."
The girls were on the exterior and were aiming for the top deck.
"Look at me! I'm invulnerable to fire!" Peach said while giggling. She was prancing like a happy little girl on the deck of the Halberd. WHEN THE GUNS WERE FIRING!
"Now, that's a dumb blonde." Ana commented as she bit her nails. That had been one of her WORST habits growing up.
"Stop biting your nails." I said, hitting her arm. "How many times have I told you about that?"
"Only about a million times, and you don't need to tell me again."
"It's still not good for you."
"Oh shut up. It's not like you have bad habits as well, Mr. I'm Going To Go Raid A Village Due To My Anger. My habit of biting my nails does not cause death, Ganondorf. Yours does."
I rolled my eyes and went back to the screen showing Peach trying to prove that she can defy being killed by shots from guns.
"PEACH! Get over here!" Sheik barked.
"Sheik, seriously. I'm sure that-" Peach's words came to a halt when a series of green laser blasts came darting towards the Princess in unison, causing her to fall to the ground in a screaming panic. Sheik saw what happened and, in her rage, teleported to where the shots came from. She appeared on the canopy of an Arwing, that was being piloted by Fox Mcloud.
"YOU!" She yelled, pointing at the pilot. "You could have killed Peach! You shall pay!" Sheik then smashed the glass with her hand and grabbed Fox. She immediately threw him to the ground and began running quickly. Her eyes were as sharp as broken glass, both locked on Fox. She was ready to kill him for nearly cutting her friend in half due to his indescribable bad aim. They finally clashed together, with Fox trying to attack Sheik with his foot, but was quickly blocked with her forearm.
"Stop it!" Peach said. "Fox-y guy, have some tea!"
"B-but-" He turned his head to see his opponent with a cup of tea on a pale pink plate.
"Every problem is solved with tea! Take it." Peach offered the drink to him.
"I'm-"
"TAKE THE TEA!" Sheik yelled, to which he graciously accepted it. The screen then went to the interior of the Halberd. Panning around as if the camera was looking for their next target.
"Anastazia," I said without looking at her.
"The team of three are going for Cia. Took them long enough, you know." Ana began pacing around the room in a worry-like fashion all while chewing her nails. I never figured out why she bit her nails. It was not nervousness or worry. It could be excitement or happiness that someone was finally getting what they deserve. It didn't matter anymore. Cia was going down and all Ana and I could do was hope that the team could for surly kill her.
"Ana. Stop wandering around."
"Why should I? It's not like-"
"Go sit down. Now." I told her firmly as I pointed towards the couch with cold eyes. She sighed and did what I told her.
"Fine. Why do you-"
"Stop your words." I sat down next to her. "I don't need another person in my life who freaks out at the sound of someones name, okay? Now, stop biting your nails, calm down, and focus on the screen."
She put her hands behind her back so she wouldn't be tempted, sighed, and kept her eyes on the screen in front of her. The group of three exited an elevator, all ready for an attack. Snake walked out first and saw the control room full of duplicated 2-D figures known as Mr. Game&Watch.
"What the hell are-" Snakes words were stopped when a violet smoke stream appeared in front of them all. Before it cleared, an evil giggle was heard.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Meta Knight. Owner of this ship am I correct?" Cia said, pushing past both Lucario and Snake.
"And what if I am?"
"Why-"
"Whoa, hold the phone. Who are you? And before you say anything, how you doing?" Snake said while looking Cia up and down. Taking note of her.
"Are you serious?" Ana complained, obviously not caring.
"You wanna do something after this all blows over? And speaking-"
I IMMEDIATELY clasped my hands around Ana's ears, to her surprise. "NOPE!" I shouted, knowing what Snake was saying. Even though Anastazia knows about what he was talking about, I found it extremely preposterous. She looked at me, confused, but knowing why I was covering her ears. I looked at the screen again and saw Snake still flirting with Cia, who couldn't do anything because she had no powers. Ana took my hands off of her head, although that was a bad decision on her part.
"You look my type, " Snake began while staring at the Black Witch in a lewd and lustful way, which was not right. "nice hair, beautiful eyes, amazing body, but there's still one problem. Your clothing."
"Oh lord." Ana grabbed my hands and once again set them over her ears.
I shook my head. "Anastazia,-"
"Is it over?" She asked. I wasn't focused on the screen, but rather Ana, who was freaking out now, for not only Cia but this sex-crazed maniac. I darted my eyes to the monitor and saw Snake on the ground, knocked out. I took my hands off of her ears.
"I think so." I told her.
"Oh god, what's wrong with people?"
"I can't answer that, Ana. Oh look, Meta Knight and Lucario are trying to fight Cia." I said seemingly amused by the three. Cia brushed off her skirt after being thrown to the ground by Lucarios' aura attack. Her face read displeasure, which was matched with a conniving grin.
"You two are too much. Really, I thought I had my ex-boss and his slut of a daughter were difficult to deal with, but now you two? It only makes my goal that much worth acchieving."
I glanced over at Ana and saw that she wasn't there. All that was there was a vacant spot with her black stilettos on the ground. The other rooms door was closed, which symbolized that she was there. I rolled my eyes and exhaled through my nose, while getting up. I opened the door and found her curled up in a ball, crying to herself. She had been called a whore, dumb blonde, stupid, bitch, worthless, but NEVER a slut. Cia had crossed a line that was never meant to be crossed.
"Ana? Wha-" my words stopped when I noticed something odd about her. The cloth that was on her wrist was no longer there and the scab had been picked at, so blood was pouring down her arm, same with the other wrist. A piece of glass laid next to her as well. "Why are you cutting yourself, Anastazia?"
She lifted her head slightly. I could see that her eyes were bloodshot and irritated due to her excessive crying.
"Ana, come here."
"I-I c-can't m-move." She stuttered between her crying, while tipping herself over and crying even more. I couldn't do anything else, but pick her up in my arms and carry her out of the room.
"Anastazia, what's wrong?" I asked. She set her head on my chest and tried to regain her normal breathing, instead of gasping for air, I sat back of the couch and looked at the red-haired girl in my arms who was basically killing herself due to her slit wrists. "Silence isn't the answer."
"I-I c-can't t-take it a-any longer, father. I-I j-just can't."
"What are you talking about?"
"B-being c-called t-thing's I'm not. W-why d-do they a-assume t-that I h-have been a p-prostitute? T-they d-don't k-know me!"
I felt like this was a replay of what happened when she was around 11, but that time she wasn't called horrible names, it was when she had almost gotten killed by her own powers. She got scared with the amount of power and used it against herself, accidentally, causing her to lose massive amounts of blood and be in the infirmary for nearly a month. I felt like I had to protect her from anything and everything since that day. Although, I couldn't protect her from herself.
"Ana, you shouldn't listen to them. You are beautiful, confident, and evil. You need to know that. I know that you grew up with no motherly figure, causing you to become overly sensitive and the lack of confidence, but-"
"I-I get it. R-really." She said whimpering in pain due to her sliced skin.
"Ana, you commit suicide over a word. A word said by someone who we will murder in a gruesome and horrific fashion, mind you. You don't need to kill yourself about this."
She regained her normal breathing finally. "Well, I don't have anything to put on my wrists. So, it's either you find something or I bleed to death. Pick one."
"Oooo an ultimatum." I said sarcastically. She glared at me, but with no enthusiasm. I put her on the other side of the couch and easily found something to wrap her wrists with. "You are such a bad looker, Ana. I mean seriously."
She rolled her eyes and sat up so I could put the cloth on her blood stained skin. She gave a grimace of pain but shook it off, but continued to squirm in discomfort from the fabric on open wound feeling.
"Geez, calm yourself." I told her. She looked at me and then at the ceiling.
"Well maybe you shouldn't forcibly wrap my cuts as they are open wounds."
"Oh, shut up. I'm helping you." I looked at the screen briefly and saw that the team consisting of only Lucario and Meta Knight were battling Cia. Snake was still on the ground, where he should stay, after revealing his true colors, as being a sex-crazed, egotistical, and innuedo-loving man. Anastazia was never going near him. Ever. When I finished with her cuts, she just stared at the already blood covered bandages that wrapped around her wrist and her hand. I folded my hands behind my head and turned my attention to the duo. Suddenly, I felt a head on my shoulder. "Can I help you?" I asked her. She seemed happy now. As if any pain anywhere in her body had melted away.
"No." she said plainly. "Just ignore the fact that I'm here."
I smiles slightly. "I don't know how I could to that. Especially with you whining in pain."
"Hey, I don't whine." She corrected. "I complain."
I saw that Cia was no longer losing at the battle. She was winning. Causing Meta Knight to be shot back against the wall and landing on his already dented shoulder pad, most likely further injuring it. Lucario's aura attacks were deflected by Cia with her quick ability to dodge.
"Why did I teach her that technique?" I asked myself. Because she was my apprentice for more than 2 years, I was able to trust that she could be worthy of learning battle and weaponry techniques. Now that I think about it, I can't believe that I even trusted that bitch, for only her to go for the kill on me.
"How would I know? You chose her."
I ignored her and noticed that Lucario began running towards Cia.
"You stupid bitch! How dare you almost kill my friend!" He exclaimed as he regained his strength and started using physical attacks against Cia. She was defiantly angered now, it could be read through her eyes. Cold, unforgiving, and disturbed. Malevolence shimmered as the faint light caught her violet iris'.
She lifted her head and giggled with her lust of bloodshed. High-pitched but mixed with a sense of darkness and mystery. "You really do enjoy games, don't you Lucario? Well, I don't think you will win this one!" Cia screamed as she caused a blast of purple energy to be released from her hand, which smashed the windows and threw all the Mr. Game&Watch clones out on to the deck of the Halberd, crashing Sheik, Fox, and Peach's tea party. Cia picked up the unconscious Snake and tossed him out as well. Lucario followed behind. She laughed and disappeared in a puff of smoke. I looked at Ana, who was no longer on my shoulder, but sitting up with wide eyes.
"What the hell just happened?" She asked shakily and not parting her eyes from the monitor.
"I think Cia won."
"How did she get her powers? She doesn't have her staff!"
"Ana, the real question is, why did she have powers that were IDENTICAL to yours?" It was brought to my attention when I noticed that the color of her magic was purple and black. The style was the same as how Ana would use them. Jagged and accurate. Mystics applied as well.
"T-that's why my hand glowed! She stole my powers by deliberately leaving her staff here. It was either your powers or mine that she was going to seal." She said looking at her hand, opening and closing it. Feeling the lack of magical properties that no longer coursed through her veins. "I'm stuck. I can no longer change my appearance or do anything-"
I laughed to myself. "You just lost your powers and the first thing you are worried about is your inability to change what you look like?"
"It's a useful ability, thank you very much."
"Anastazia, you can't let being powerless distract you, okay?"
She clenched her teeth and stared at the ground. I couldn't imagine was emotions were going through her right now. It must be awful. "I feel...vulnerable, powerless, and susceptible to everything. Including you."
"Well, no shit, Ana. You have no powers that you can use. Now saying that I realize that, the staff had only a couple powers. Transportation and an ability that who ever holds the staff and is not the owner, takes their power away. You fell for it. It's not corruption. It's-"
"Basically a way for me to die quicker. Without my power, I can't defend myself or do anything!"
"Anastazia. You can use swords and weapons. I trained you for a reason. And I think this is the reason."
She closed her eyes and sighed heavily. When she opened her eyes again, she leaned on me for support. I looked at the screen and saw that Lucario and Snake were awake and talking to the tea party guests.
"So, lemme get this straight," Sheik said narrowing her eyes at the two-party crashers. "You were attacked by a white-haired, almost nude, bitch who wanted to take over this ship?"
Snake was in a strange state. His eyes were hazed with lust and his smile didn't help at all. Lucario groaned in disgust at what Snake looked like.
"Yes, that is exactly what we're saying, Miss Sheik. Meta Knight-"
"CIA IS MY MASTER! AND SHE ORDERED ME TO DESTROY ALL OF YOU!" A loud demonic voice shouted. The group of 5 turned to see one of the last high-ranking members of the Subspace Army, Duon. It was a giant robot made completely out of shadow bugs. Programmed with a mixture of angers between many murderous animals and serial killers. Duon was not someone you would want to meet in a dark alley. He had a split personality as well.
"DON'T WORRY BITCHES! Falco is here to save the-" The cocky and arrogant Arwing pilot said, just before landing face first on the ground as a landing. Fox snickered to himself.
"Nice landing, Mr. Heroic." Fox said sarcastically.
"Oh shut up, Fox. What do we have here? A big-ass robot who thinks he's so cool?" Falco taunted, only to be hit with a laser from Duon. He was blasted back, while the robot chuckled in his monotone voice.
"Lord, save us." Peach muttered to herself. "He goy dirt on my dress! DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY I HAVE TO SPEND TO GET DIRT OUT OF THIS DRESS?!"
"Peach, calm down." Sheik said putting her hand on the princess's shoulder.
"HE GOT DIRT ON MY DRESS! AND NOW HE SHALL DIE! DIE A MOST PAINFUL AND AGONIZING DEATH!" Peach then led the attack on Duon, in a surprising twist. The robot was a fierce competitor due to how high his rank was in the army, allowing him to have more health and stamina than anyone below him in rank. Ana and I were not to be easily defeated. We were off-limits until the correct time. Which would be soon. I tore my eyes from the screen and looked at Anastazia, who was still staring at her hands. She had lost everything in a matter of at least 24 hours. Her bracelet, a pint or more of blood, her temper, and her powers.
"Why does Cia have to exist?" she asked without looking up from her hand.
"Because she thought it was time to bring us down, and her turn to raze the land."
"Well, that bitch needs no not rain on our parade. She can't just show up and decide that she wants to be a part of this."
"She'll get what she deserves. As will everyone else in this pathetic piece of land. Mark my words, Ana."
She looked up at me and smiled. "It's only a mater of time now, right?"
"Right. Although, why don't we begin phase 1. Detonate every bomb in the Subspace bomb factory." I said with a sly grin. She sat up and began putting her stilettos back on her feet while I went to the monitor and changed it to show the Subspace Bomb Factory. Samus, in her newly recovered orange power-suit, and Pikachu were running through the corridors of the factory.
"Dammit!" I heard Ana say behind me. I turned slightly to see that she had caused one of the stitches on her previously crushed foot, to unravel, allowing the wound to become open once again, but this time, half healed.
"Anastazia? Why?" I said plainly.
"I didn't mean to! It wasn't my fault!"
"I don't have time to fix your foot. AGAIN. Put something around it so you don't lose more blood than you already have. Also, don't wear those shoes, you'll kill yourself."
"Oh so you want me to go barefoot until I get my powers back? Which might be never?"
I turned back to the screen. "It's a better choice than nearly killing yourself by shoes."
"PIKACHU!" Samus yelled as they were in a panic. "I TOLD YOU NOT TO TOUCH THE LIGHT!"
"I'm sorry! But, it was just so shiny!"
"YOU THINK IT'S SO SHINY NOW?! AS WE ARE RUNNING FOR OUR LIVES? THANKS TO YOU!"
"DOOR!" Pikachu shouted as he used an electric attack to bust open the door ahead of them. They gained access to the largest room in the factory. The Bomb Station. A group of robots were lined in rows and were ready for the next deployment, should they be picked. Hundreds of bombs took up half of the large room. Awaiting the detonation time. The Ancient Minister stood in front of all his minions. Samus readied her arm gun while Pikachu's cheeks sparked. Although, the Minister looked down in sorrow. Confusing the two. Suddenly there was loud pounding noises echoing from somewhere.
"FUCK THIS DOOR!" A deep voice exclaimed. D.K, Diddy, Olimar, and Captain Falcon emerged from the blasted door above.
"Don't worry, Captain Falcon is here to save the day!" The arrogant captain said vainly. He looked at the head robot. "Whoa, what's with the cloaked guy?
Ana walked up to me. "They're all here. Why don't we send them a little welcome present." I said. She crossed her arms and grinned. I noticed that she refrained on having her stitched foot on the ground. Figures.
"Phase 2. Go." Ana told me, with no emotion mixed with a bit of monotone. My lips curled into a devilish grin as I pressed a button on the control panel, causing a holographic version of myself to be projected.
"Welcome, heroes." I announced. "Now, you may have wondered what prompted you to be brought together into fighting a common enemy. And you all believe that it is the cloaked figure, the Ancient Minister. You see, this is not his plan. It's mine. I plan on destroying you all with the simplist of tasks. With my apprentice at my side, there is no way you can stop us."
"Who are you!?" Falcon asked.
"You don't need to know, for you all shall perish in a blast of Subspace. Now. R. ! You know what to do!" The robots then turned and began grabbing the bombs, and assembled themselves to be spread all around the room.
"NO! Y-YOU CAN'T DO THIS! I trusted you!" Ancient Minister cried as he tried to stop his kind by pushing them out-of-the-way so they wouldn't get the bombs.
Ana stepped beside me, causing herself to be projected to the group. Fully revealing herself to the Smashers. "Trust is a silly word, Minister. There is no trust within being evil. Surly you would know that. Wasn't it you who said-"
"ANASTAZIA! SHUT UP!" He yelled at her. She chuckled and moved out-of-the-way.
"You have no business of being in command anymore, R.O.B!" I said.
"How do you-"
"I know all. R. , kill him! You will all die here, or die trying to stop us. Now. DEVIL BIRDS!" I cut off the transmission, along with all the monitors. Ana looked confused and scared.
"What's going-"
"We have to leave. Grab anything you don't want destroyed in the blast." I told her, as I grabbed Cia's staff from the ground. She nodded, but was unable to move due to her foot. I caused the weapon in my hand to disappear, and picked Ana up in my arms so she didn't have to walk.
"I'm sorry that you have to carry me, Ganondorf." She said.
"Ana, you don't need to apologize. Let's go kill those bitches and then all we have left is Cia. There, you can get your powers back and heal your foot."
She smiled and wrapped her arms around my neck as we walked out of the hideout.
"Where's the Gunship located?" She asked, but before I could answer her, we appeared in a realm of little color. It was Subspace. The place was depressing to say the least. The appearance was a mottled, purple and black sky, with a dark violet ground. Lightning laced the horizon. I set Ana down, but she held onto my arm for support.
"We are on the Gunships base command center. Oh, and I think this belongs to you." I took out a piece of jewelry that had previously been part of the gauntlet on my arm. It was once her bracelet, but I had made it a necklace due to how destroyed it had been.
"Wait, was this-"
"Your bracelet? Yes. Took me long enough to fix it."
I handed it to her and she almost burst into tears. "Why would you do this?"
"Consider it a birthday present."
She looked like she had a moment of realization.
"Oh, don't tell me that you totally forgot about your own birthday, Anastazia. God knows you would never forget. When you were little you would not shut up about it."
Ana laughed to herself and held the necklace in her fist. I was hoping that she didn't crush it like I had done previously.
"You can thank me later. It's only a matter of time for when we are able to use this thing. I want you to man the guns. Do exactly what I say. You understand?"
"Of course I do. Oh look. You can see everyone." Ana pointed to a large rift that opened up due to the Isle of Ancients submerging into Subspace.
"It's Time, Ana."
The Gunship appeared out of the rift and I saw that all the Smashers were together, even from here. Anastazia stood next to me. She was staring at the group of Smashers from afar.
"Test shot. Bam." She pressed one of the buttons and the Gunship charged up and released a blast of Subspace energy to the other side of the ocean., which caused a portal to open up. "Where'd they go?!"
I looked at where the Smashers had been, but they weren't there. "WHAT THE HELL?!"
"N-no. You should be saying what the hell about THAT! Ana pointed at something in front of us, and it revealed to be the Halberd.
"They got it back, I see. Hm. Let's see if Meta Knight knows how to really pilot his ship. Front missiles, Ana."
She pressed all the front missile buttons causing the front turrets to fire at the Halberd. What seemed like it should have lasted awhile, the Halberd was instantly defeated in a midair explosion.
"Hm, not so skilled after all. Now that we-" I said turning away,
"Uh- Um." she stuttered. "Turn around."
"Why? They are already- OH SHIT." I turned back around and saw personal ships of ceratin smashers fly out of the explosion. They began firing at us. Not knowing what else to do., I smashed my fist down on all the buttons on the control panel, causing every gun that I added to be fired at the aircraft group. Anastazia stared at me, confused and shocked.
"Hey! That's my job!"
I didn't respond. I just looked at the mess of missiles aim at the Smashers. But, they were too skilled and way to small for them to be hit. To both Ana and I's anger.
"SUCK ON THIS BITCHES!" A voice yelled. Suddenly, a tiny, one person ship, ridden by Kirby, flew through the middle of the Gunship.
"Ganondorf! Seriously!? You spend days working on this, and it can't defend itself when a puff-ball flies through it with a rainbow-like ship!?" Ana exclaimed, clearly angry. I put my arm around her shoulders and we both walked into Subspace, once again. Leaving the ship that was in the process of exploding.
"How!?"
"How what?"
"How could I not have had that ship defend itself against a stupid little ship!?"
Ana took my arm off of her shoulders and stepped in front of me. "Everyone is going to be here. Including Cia. We have to split up and look for her, okay? Find her, destroy her, we win. That's the plan. You got it?"
"You don't have powers, how can you defend yourself?"
She smirked and grabbed my hand, which caused Cia's staff to appear. "There is my weapon. Give it to me."
I handed it to her and she began to run off. "Ana!" I called . She stopped and turned slightly. I noticed that she wasn't wearing shoes. "Don't die, and be careful of your foot, okay?"
She nodded and ran off once again. Leaving me to go my own path.
This place was endless. There was no way of getting out either. I never saw Cia or anyone. No one was insight. There was no point of this search. I began to walk back to find Anastazia. When I saw her, after about 10 minutes of continuous looking. I noticed that she was conversing with a familiar person. Green garb, green hat, blue eyes, Master Sword, Hylian Shield. This person was Link.
"It was you!" Link said pointing his finger in my daughters face. "You were the one who kicked me in the groin last week! The blonde girl in the forest!"
Ana looked at her nails. The staff was in her other hand. "Maybe I am. What's your proof?"
Link drew his sword and looked angry. "There is no proof! You were the one who rejected me! No one rejects the Chosen One!" He yelled. I appeared in front of Ana and stared at Link. Who looked both scared and shocked. "Y-you!"
"GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!" I then punched him in the face, which caused him to be blown backwards. I turned to Ana, who was smiling.
"I could have handled it you know." She said.
"No. You couldn't. Trust me, Ana."
"Did you see her at all?"
I shook my head. "I don't think you saw her either, because you have her staff still."
"HOW COULD YOU!" Link yelled coming back with a broken nose and an accusation. He pointed at both of us.
I had Anastazia stay behind me, due to my promise of protecting her from harm. "What are you talking about?" I responded.
"You stole her power! You stole Zelda's Triforce piece! How dare you!"
"W-what? N-no! Sure I was going to, but I didn't!" I told him. "I only have my piece!"
"What about her?" Link pointed to Anastazia.
"She doesn't have any powers right now! They were stolen! Stolen by-"
"Me. Oh ho, yes. I'm surprised you figured it out so quickly, Boss. I guess you're not so worthless after all." A voice equivalent of the sound of nails on a chalkboard said. Link moved over towards where Ana and I was. Cia approached us, in a puff of violet smoke. Anastazia hid the staff from Cia's sight and clasped her arm around mine. Link raised his sword in defense. "Looks like you have something of mine, Missy. I want it back."
Ana was not her normal self right now. She was scared to death. Whimpering, and it was not due to her pain. I glared at Cia, while trying to protect my daughter from any possible harm Cia was or planning to throw at us. Cia laughed at Anastazia.
"Does the little princess need daddy for support? Looks like the princess is a thief." She taunted.
"Leave her alone, Cia!" I yelled. "Give Anastazia her powers back and she'll give you your staff in return."
"Ooo, who's this cutie?" Cia began walking over to Link, where she stroked the boy's hair and gazed into his eyes, to his discomfort. "You're Link, right?"
"What if I am? What's it to you?"
"Your girlfriend, Zelda told me where I could find you."
"WHAT?! How she tell you! Where-"
"Cia, stole Zelda's piece of the Triforce." Ana said quietly. "You have both her power and mine. Why do you need both!? Give mine back!"
"No can do, sweetheart. You see, with you powerless, Daddy can't help you. Daddy won't love you. You're WORTHLESS without power. All you are is a slut who-" Cia's words stopped when she was bashed in the face with her own weapon, by Anastazia.
"GIVE ME MY MAGIC BACK, YOUR WHORE! OR I WILL KILL YOU WITH YOUR OWN EGO."
Link stepped near me. "Damn, that's your daughter?" he asked. I nodded proudly.
"Yes, she's my pride and joy. Trained her myself."
"Why does she want power?"
"Cia stole her magic and she wants it back more than anything."
"Ganondorf? Why aren't you murdering me?"
I stared at the hero. "Because there is a larger enemy right now, and I don't feel like following the prophecy right now."
Cia was getting physical with Anastazia, which meant that Cia was in for a world of hurt. Thanks to Ana having the staff, she could block the powers that were being used against her.
"You are such a stupid bitch!" Cia yelled as she tripped Ana, causing her to fall on the ground, mainly her shoulder.
"We have to do something!" Link said trying to help my daughter, but I grabbed his arm so he didn't do anything stupid.
"No. You can't go anything! She is perfectly-" Before I could finish my sentence, I saw Ana be kicked in the head by Cia's high-heels, causing her to be knocked out again.
"Daddy can't save you now. If he did, I could easily overpower him. You hear that, Ganondorf? You go near your daughter, you die. I swear it." She warned while taking the staff from Ana's hands. I let go of Link's arm and my hand began to tremble with rage.
"I dealt with you once, Cia. But now that you are back, and trying to split up my daughter and I, that just crosses the line of everything!"
Cia giggled in delight, now having her staff back. But, unbeknownst to her, her hand glowed the same like Ana's did.
"Unless, you want to make a trade." She drifted over to Link and caressed the side of his face and unusually close to him as well. I stepped to the side. "I will give Anastazia's power back, if I can have both of your powers"
Link shoved Cia away from him, which only prompted her to gain more affection for him. I managed to get to Ana without Cia seeing me. I cradled her in my arms, to which she opened her eyes weakly.
"W-what-"
"Don't worry." I whispered. "You'll be alright."
"I-is my head bleeding?"
"Yes, she kicked you and knocked you out."
"Oh, that's sweet. Holding your daughter as she dies. Why don't you switch that around!" Cia then created a flaming sphere of dark energy and instead of throwing it, she blasted it onto the ground, causing a large wave of darkness. Oh god, this was it. I was going to die. Wait, I'm not supposed to die by the powers of someone else! That's what I do! I then noticed that Ana wasn't in my arms anymore, she stood in front of me, a barrier of golden light surrounding us. I got to my feet and realized that Ana had a glowing triangle on the back of her hand. She had stolen the piece of the Triforce that Cia had taken from Zelda. "HOW? How is that-" Cia looked at her hand and saw that the piece she had, was gone. "No! THAT'S NOT FAIR!" She then dashed at us, but was stopped in her tracks as if frozen in suspended animation while we were fine. Link ran up to us, breathing heavily.
"What happened?" Link asked, shocked that Ana was standing and protecting both me and herself with Zelda's magic.
"I got Zelda's magic now. Meaning I have this." Anastazia opened her hand and a golden triangle was floating above it. "The Triforce of Wisdom."
"I'll take that!" Link said, but Ana held back.
"How did you get it?"
"Cia's hand touched the staff, which sent her new power to Anastazia, who had been the owner of the staff briefly." I explained.
"I don't have my real powers back. I want them, not this good people magic. No offense, Link, but I don't want this! It's not the power I was born with! I stole this!"
"Ana, calm down." Link said, putting his hands on her shoulders. "Zelda always had a plan. You must have a plan due to having that power. Am I right?"
Ana looked down and thought hard. Shaking and nodding her head at random times. When she looked up again, her eyes widened along with a newly woven grin on her face. "We have to give up our powers, so she can't get them."
Link and I looked at each other, with the same expression. Puzzled. "What do you mean, Ana?"
"Cia can create portals to different dimensions. Known as Gates of Souls." I said, remembering the things that she could do when I had her as an apprentice. "If what Ana means, by giving up our pieces. Then, we have to have her create a portal and send the pieces through there. So she can't get to them. Is that what your plan was?"
"Word for word. We have to use anything we have against her. Which includes creating a truce between each other. Meaning, we can't go for each other" She explained a long and detailed plan on how we were to get Cia to open a portal long enough for us to release the Triforce pieces and send them to another dimension. Along with having Ana getting her real powers back. When we were ready. The plan was finally set in action. It was Anastazia who has frozen Cia in suspended animation, and she released her. Cia rushed at us, but I knocked her out-of-the-way, causing her to be blown back onto the ground. Link was able to fight her with his weapons, while Ana and I watched in silence, awaiting her defeat.
"Why are you so good at this!?" Cia complained as she tried to block his strikes, but it was no use at all. Link was too skilled and too agile for her attacks.
"Because! I'm Link, and I can do what I want."
Cia was thrown to the ground once again, but when she got up she didn't go for Link, she went for Anastazia. Yet, like Link, Ana was too skilled for Cia, due to my cruel and heartless training for the first 5 years of her being my apprentice.
"Fine! If I can't kill you with my attacks, then you will all suffer from someone else's attacks!" Cia brought down her staff on the ground, causing a purple portal to appear behind her.
"GANON! NOW!" Ana yelled. I formed a ball of flames in my hand and threw it at the Black Witch who was chained to the portal wall. The portal prevented her from going through it.
"I'll take my powers back, thank you very much." Anastazia said, using the Triforce to suck all of her own magic out of Cia and back into her. Cia fell to the ground, weak and powerless. The portal that remained behind her, was our way of making sure she didn't get ultimate power.
"Our turn!" Link said. We released our Triforce pieces and sent them into the portal behind Cia, which closed quickly. Luckily, I still had a sliver of power left within my body. Ana looked triumphant. Link had a smirk similar to that of Anastazia when she did something evil. My daughter threw her arms around me and I stroked her hair, due to the sheer happiness that she had not died in this whole mess.
"What part of being killed by suffering from someone else's attacks do you not seem to get?" Cia's demented and raspy voice said. She got up and her eyes glowed with hatred for all of us. "You three will all be killed, in ways you don't even imagine. If any of you come back, you will find everything not as you left it."
The last thing I heard was the disturbed cackle of Cia and then everything went black.
Thank you all for reading Legion of Doom! I know it was a bit lengthy, but that's what writers do! They have long stories, though this one was long because of the plot line of Subspace Emissary. This is continued in my new story called "Time Shifted", and it takes place and follows the plot line of Skyward Sword! Thanks again!
