It's finally here!

Sorry this chapter took so long. I'm really lazy. This chapter, and author's note, contains some Skyward Sword spoilers.

I know I mention some Skyward Sword plot in here even though this is a Twilight Princess setting; if you read the official Zelda timeline, Skyward Sword is the very first. So even though Link may not remember any of those events, they happened, and, well, Ghirahim remembers. If that makes sense. I don't know.

Please tell me what you think of the fanfiction:)

*SPOILER ALERT* I think Ghirahim is supposed to be a sword spirit, but I haven't fully finished Skyward Sword myself, so I can't be sure. I'm trying to avoid spoilers, but it's kind of hard. So that's why when he died he turned into a sword. *SPOILER ENDING*

I also didn't know how to end it really, so the ending might be super lame :P

"Time to awaken, skychild!" The demon lord called, bringing Link out of the dark slumber. Link slowly opened his eyes; it took a little bit to adjust to the dark room. In front of him stood Ghirahim, grinning at him as he brandished his rapier.

"I have been waiting so very long for this. I haven't had a chance to settle the score since you defeated my master. I couldn't re-resurrect him, no matter how I tried. So I decided that I would come and claim my revenge." He chuckled.

"Why do you want courage so badly?" Link asked.

"There are many legends surrounding the Triforce of Courage that you possess, skychild. There is one such that I have taken quite an interest in. It says that if a bearer of a piece of the Triforce is killed, the power that bearer possessed will be transferred to the one who killed him."

"But-"

"Silence, child!" Ghirahim shouted. He waited a few seconds to regain his composure. "During the time I pursued and captured your spirit maiden, Zelda, I admit that I acquired….feelings."

Link stared at him openmouthed. What!? Ghirahim had a crush on Zelda?

"However, I don't seem to have the...audacity to make a certain request. That's why I need you. If I obtain the Triforce of Courage, I will have the confidence to do anything."

With that, Ghirahim stepped forward towards Link and licked his lips. Link tried to struggle his way out of the ropes, but they were too tight, and he had nothing to cut them this time.

"Resistance is futile, skychild. You are mine now." The demon lord laughed as he raised his sword high above his head, ready to strike down.

A burst of light illuminated the entire room. Ghirahim looked over in surprise and dropped his sword, making it clang on the floor loudly.

Zelda appeared, floating above the ground, a stern look on her face.

Ghirahim snapped his fingers and tried to flee, but Zelda pushed her hands toward him and thrust a beam of pure radiance at him, rendering his powers useless for the meantime. He then ran towards the door, but she closed it with her magic.

"Ghirahim. It is useless to attempt escape. You have bothered Link enough."

In the darkness, Link thought he saw the demon lord blush.

"Princess, surely you must have mercy-"

"No. Several times you have tried to kill this young man. I forbid you to try once more." She turned her eyes to the ceiling and raised her hands. "Goddesses, lend me your power!" A bow of light and several arrows appeared in her hands.

Ghirahim ran around the room frantically, trying to hide from the princesses' wrath. Zelda drew her bow, aimed, and fired. The arrow did not miss its target. Demon Lord Ghirahim burst into diamonds for the last time and was reduced to a small sword with a diamond on the hilt.

Link smiled at Zelda as she descended from her hovering state and untied the ropes around him.

"Thank you."

She smiled back at him. "You're welcome, hero."

"How did you know where I was?"

"Your friend Ilia came to me and explained that she saw you through a window after you left her house. A flash of light appeared, and a cloaked figure materialized behind you. He knocked you out with the hilt of a black sword, threw you over his shoulder, and disappeared again. Her visit the next day confirmed a dream I had received that night, showing the same."

"I'm glad she was there."

"I am too. Come, we must return to Hyrule. Ilia will be worried."
