The final battle against Andrew Hanbridge had already begun, Akko showed what she had in hand, the power she possessed, which she had acquired throughout the dungeons, even managing to be clever enough when facing the tyrant, using many bluffs and thus deceiving him at the right moments to attack at the best moment, He even managed to get the better of him and seemingly defeat him if it weren't for something else that happened, which was precisely that Hanbridge's remains after the various cuts began to regenerate, with some glow around them, which made him look the same again as before, only with a kind of purple glow around his eyes.
Shocking Atsuko herself, who hadn't expected anything like this to happen, since she had attacked with everything and hadn't expected the boy to simply regenerate, he soon began to twist his joints with purple streaks running down his body, precisely the areas where he had received multiple cuts, and they stopped glowing as the regeneration ended.
"So you mean you regenerate?" Kagari said while Andrew is regenerating himself piece from piece
"It's time to end this Atsuko Kagari, you think you're a hero like Link, but you're just a little girl, you may have defeated Andrew, but you won't be able to do it against Ganondorf!" Said the dark-haired man in a voice with a very different tone turning into what could be his second form of the battle, the thing is gonna hit even harder.
"So that's it, I've defeated the host, it's time to defeat the parasite, I'll do it with pleasure" said the crimson-eyed girl, who then used a fairy pot to fully recover her vitality and magic, facing the monster, now both are fully healed and ready for the next stage of the battle.
"Hmpf, put yourself in your place, you're just a girl, you won't defeat my greatness, if you think I'm on the same level as my host you're wrong, now that he's finally been killed, everything I needed has happened, my body is free to have all the power with me, you even took the nine witches out of the seal which is perfect for me to be able to regain my powers even more" Ganondorf said confident on himself staring to the confident Kagari.
"Blah blah blah, cut to the part where you come at me soon" said the brown-haired woman, still staring at the monster with her hand on the trigger of her scabbard.
Ganon takes his sword out of its scabbard and points it at the girl, starting to float away. Instead of going upwards, he casts multiple spells towards the warrior from Luna Nova, who uses the projectile cuts and notices that they are rebounding, followed by the one who is impersonating Andrew, who makes the same attack with multiple laser beams that are going all over the arena, with the intention of lading a very hard hit with the potential of killing the girl.
(Well, it seems there's no more Andrew now, I managed to defeat him... I'm glad I was able to do something so great, but I have to defeat the monster, he must be even more complicated to deal with, let's see what kind of attack he has).
The attacks are even predicted by the creature, which uses balls of energy towards the path that Atsuko is running along as she goes through the walls, which the girl uses her shield and sword to try to pass through, which soon takes the opportunity that a smoke screen has formed and goes up at high speed, activating the bracelet.
This simply cancels out the effect, since Ganon can simply move at a normal speed, even with the effect of speeding up Kagari, who manages to get very close, starting to make cuts across the body that was once Andrew's, multiples of it, even though the effect doesn't work on the creature, the spells and attacks are still going at a much reduced speed, which ends up returning to the arena and making time go back to normal, the cuts simply sparking and hitting the body as if it were nothing, as if they were impenetrable plates, they're very hard.
(What? He's indestructible, how is that possible, I just chopped up Andrew, now out of nowhere his skin has become super resistant or something, how am I going to penetrate all that by cutting? It's not enough that I've been rendered useless by my attacks, what the hell).
"Hahahaha, did you really think you could defeat me like that? You thought it would work to cut me down at super speed, your attack is merely useless, I'm impenetrable, there's nothing you can do, your legendary sword won't be able to hurt me, I have the power in my hands" Ganondorf said while laughing pretty overconfident.
Then the monster begins to stalk her and in this stalking, it releases rays from its hands, scattering them in the arena, which the crimson-eyed girl uses her hook to escape the attacks that go into the arena, but the monster also has a ray of energy from its mouth that is fired at the girl, who is hit, causing an explosion, causing her to be thrown back a little and fall into the arena, where she was going to be surprised by the very rays that were going to electrocute her.
Only for a brief moment does the sword come to the rescue of the brown-haired girl, who reflects the lightning, but to do so she has to keep pushing hard in a tug-of-war between her and the creature she's pushing to see who comes out on top.
(If I'm hit by this I'll become a barbecue, come on Akko sends the attack back at this thing, it gives him a gap to attack, I could see that when he makes these attacks it seems that the body becomes more vulnerable, but when I'm gonna use this gap, the bracelet is useless at this situation).
The rays manage to be reflected by Luna Nova's warrior, causing a huge flash, and she uses the bracelet again in the midst of the flash, going for the monster, only for him to defend himself with his sword, causing an impact of blades, the sword made only with Ganon's evil energy against Akko's Claiomh Solais sword. The effect of the bracelet returns to normal and the two continue to exchange blows, causing shockwaves with each hit, even creating a bit of a tremor in the surroundings. They both move away with a greater wave of impact, the monster launches a ball of energy just in time to hit the girl, who reflects it by throwing it up in the air, and so they stare at each other.
"Not bad, that's why my host had been defeated, a girl like you surviving this long for my warm-up only shows that you're going to take a long time to die, a shame it really has to be this way, you'd make a great ally with me" said Ganondorf.
"I would never ally myself with a disgusting pig like you!" Atsuko said a little breathlessly.
"Oh don't call me that, my original form was that of a pig, when I'm in my world of origin I was in that form, now the battle is over, I have important things to do" said the creature that began to make some rays of light appear in the arena.
Kagari tried to dodge the various laser beams that were falling on the area, jumping several times, but was soon surprised by the presence of the man himself, who appeared in the middle of the arena and struck her with his sword.
An exchange of swords was taking place, sparks were flying, shockwaves were coming from both sides. This time the battle was much more even, the two sides seemed very evenly matched, with both hitting each blow in a very intense way.
The people watching continued to cheer and marvelled at the potential shown by the girl against Andrew, with high hopes she could win and bring the peace for Hyrule, even the Appleton soldiers are rooting for the Hyllian, but soon the monster became full of it and floated away, still unleashing multiple lasers as it began to fire balls of energy.
(Well, it looks like he's pretty tough, I'll have to find a weak spot, when he attacks he doesn't give me any room to hit back, but I noticed that exactly where I cut him is glowing every time he uses magic).
Ganondorf launched several balls of magic too, causing the crimson-eyed girl to have to dodge the laser beams all the time, but she even managed to rebound many of the energy balls that were being returned, which soon turned out to be a lot of them, the perfect opportunity to use the bracelet and start returning everything towards the one with Hanbridge's body.
The plan worked out well, with many shots being fired right at the monster that had been hit, and even a glow appearing around him as he blinked, showing that something had happened.
(Wonderful that I managed to hit him like that, let's see if he'll be able to resist after being hit like that).
Once again, the creature swoops down to try to electrocute the brown-haired one, who starts defending herself with her sword, which reflects the rays and soon causes a flash in which both swords clash in the middle of the flash, causing more shockwaves and sparks to fly everywhere.
The fight was still fairly evenly matched on both sides, but it was clear that Ganon also had a bit of a physical advantage, as well as being invincible, and was starting to win little by little with his sword, but the girl was thinking of a way to turn it around and not end up losing.
(He's starting to wear me out, I have to be more creative, I'm going to try to attack more from a distance).
The tactic she chose was to use the grappling hook, standing on the wall where the monster didn't follow her and began firing balls of energy at the warrior from Luna Nova, who ran around the arena, bow in hand, releasing a few arrows, but they didn't penetrate the creature's body at all, they just ended up hitting it for nothing, but that was the intention, just to distract it and test its potential, which ended up attracting its attention so that the one with Andrew's body came to the walls to attack her.
Akko uses the hook as soon as she's up, arriving in the middle of the arena and the monster even grazes her in the face, but only ends up passing close by with a cut and soon she's back in the arena where multiple balls of energy begin to be fired, just as the girl wanted.
(Perfect, now just throw it back at the bastard and let's see if he can save himself from this, distract him to use the same attack and this time go against him, that'll be interesting to do).
Ganon was hit multiple times by his own blow, flashing in multiple colours. He gradually felt what he was being hit with coming back at him, which led to Atsuko swooping down on him with the various rays that she began to reflect and so the flash happened again, only instead of hitting each other with swords the attack changed when the girl used her hammer.
The impact was strong enough to cause a shockwave and push the monster backwards when she hit it with the sword. This gave Kagari another gap, and she immediately used her elemental staff to shoot a rain of fire towards the monster itself, which began to walk through the whole thing and arrived quite close to her unharmed, causing her to stop and start using the hammer again.
The hammer's blows only served to push the monster further back, who was only smiling when he saw that whoever he was facing was trying any attack to win the battle at any cost.
"You're already desperate, any attack on me will be useless, you're really doing everything you can to prolong your life, but it's a pity it won't last, because I'm here to put an end to it all" said Ganondorf.
The boy floated out of the arena and raised his finger to cause an explosion and it was right where the crimson-eyed girl was standing, she began to use the bracelet to escape, but the glow simply continued, which caused her to run and then came an explosion with a bolt of lightning with everything, the impact of the explosion still caught the girl who leaned on the wall that began to see multiple shots hitting her making her return to normal time.
The various balls of energy hit the girl hard, injuring her without her having much room to dodge, and she ended up seeing the creature floating and flying towards her, starting to grab her sword to use its trigger, so that she could protect herself from a blow, although it still hit her hard in the shoulder, driving her into the wall and causing immense pain.
"Did you really think you were going to beat me like that? You don't stand a chance against me, I'm perfect, I'm the greatest, you'll only suffer, now I'll show you what real pain is" Said the dark-haired man who then threw the girl into the middle of the arena holding her sword.
The brown-haired girl felt an explosion coming from below, followed by a few bolts of lightning. Still in some pain, she tried to pull herself together, but was surprised on the spot when her own man grabbed her head and began dragging her along the ground with all his might, then lifting her up in preparation for a blow.
An attack that could have killed her on the spot, but which she was saved from when an ice barrier appeared in front of her, it was Diana who came up with her rapier to help her wife.
"I'm not going to stand here and watch my wife die, go and finish this bloodyAkko off! Get well!" Cavendish said.
"Oh, so the little bastard also wants to help his wife not die, well now I've got nothing to lose, you're no longer needed by me girl, I should get rid of you soon, there's no point in hanging around here, so say your last words" said the lord, who began to point his sword in the direction of the platinum blonde's cell, while the warrior from Luna Nova used another pot of fairies to restore her vitality and vigour.
"Here are your last words, fuck, you" said the blue-eyed one, wagging his middle finger, and soon the monster was on the move, only to be interrupted by a hook grabbing him.
"You can stay where you are, your fight is with me!" Said the healthyAkko, pulling Ganon by the hook.
Pulling him up, Atsuko uses her hammer to hit him in the side, causing him to slam into the wall of the arena, Then she started shooting multiple arrows, which although they did nothing, was enough to provoke Ganondorf into attacking her, who in a rage started launching multiple balls of energy towards the arena to hit the girl, who started using the bracelet and then reflected everything to hit the monster, who blinked a lot to the point of losing what was his purple glow all over his body, but was still floating, just as the creature had
changed once again.
The lord's clothes became even more cloaked, his face began to open up in the middle to reveal a porcine face, while the human parts underneath fell away as if they were nothing, then dissolved into the ground, signalling that this was yet another form of Ganon.
"Now I'm totally free of this body, thank you very much for giving me enough magic to break the crust that remained on my old body, now I'll defeat you and your wife, to have my lower body restored and thus return to my glory" said the monster who revealed that underneath his head what he had was just something made of energy while above it were just heads and hands.
(That bottom part must certainly be very vulnerable, now it's up to me to put all my skills into defeating this thing, I've got this far, I've managed to put an end to Andrew, now it's up to me to turn this pig into a ham).
The first attack was a shower of laser beams falling all over the arena, which Kagari dodged and then the creature itself began to swoop down and try to hit her with its sword, which the girl held back from the impact of the blade, but the shockwave pushed her backwards, which almost caused her guard to drop if it wasn't for the fact that she threw herself to the ground to avoid being hit by a deadly cut, The swine-like creature reached the other side and opened its robe to launch an attack that looked like a hurricane, and in the midst of it, it fired multiple balls of energy as well. In this gap, the crimson-eyed creature slashed at the area that seemed to be made only of magical energy, and with that, even it blinked and moved backwards, which then teleported it multiple times around the entire arena.
(That's right, I just need to hit his weak point until I defeat him, it's precisely that place, I could feel that the impact caused something, I just need to find a gap for him to do it and I'll defeat him once and for all).
The monster began to teleport around the arena to intimidate the girl, and then his eye began to glow. The brown-haired girl realised what this meant and began to move with the bracelet, where they both met with the sword, But then Ganon began to make quicker cuts and even opened the girl's guard so that she could be hit, but she took out her hammer and with the impact of the two weapons a battle began that soon returned to normal time, which ended with both of them arriving in each corner of the arena after a wave of impact when time returned to normal.
One on each side, they both use magic and fire beams at each other, which creates a collision wave that explodes in the middle, raising smoke, and then the creature teleports further away and fires more laser beams, this time much faster, all over the arena, which the warrior from Luna Nova dodges as best she can to avoid being hit and ending up badly injured.
(He's really stronger here, I can't go into battle with swords, I could end up losing, only the hammer equals the strength of the sword, I have to make him appeal again to that type of attack where it gives him room to be in that more open mode again, that open weak point like that is perfect).
And as expected, Ganon begins to open up with his underside revealed, firing multiple balls of energy, these ones much faster, so much so that Akko herself lets herself be hit by some of them and goes up to the monster, hitting it with a slash that sends it flying backwards a little and so it goes again, teleporting in various directions with much more speed.
The next thing he sees is a lightning bolt streaking towards the girl, who uses her hook to evade the attack, but he teleports upwards and fires lightning bolts at her, who ends up being hit full on and feels the shock hit her, but she can't give up, seeing as he's going up with his sword and hitting her with a slash.
(Damn he's fast, he's got me fooled on this one, but I can't give up, he's revealing his true claws, Akko you can do it, do it for everyone who's rooting for you).
"What's the matter, girl? Having trouble keeping up with me? Did you really think you had a chance with me? I'm the mighty Ganondorf, nothing can defeat me, I'm invincible, you're naïve to think that I could simply be defeated so quickly, you should put yourself on your own level, if you had never allowed this revolution to happen I would never have taken full control of Andrew's body, or you would have had more years to train and my host would have been less, but you wanted to act in haste, now you're going to have a tragic end" Said the swine monster that kept teleporting around the arena around the girl who was very attentive.
Ganondorf began to attack with multiple laser beams all over the arena, this time they were extremely fast to the point that Atsuko started to use the bracelet and with that she ran and even so it was possible to see that the laser beams moved a little as if they were in slow motion, she ran to escape while the pig looked at it smiling seeing that the girl was trying to avoid death at any cost.
Then it opened up to go like a hurricane in the attack it always does, the moment when it turns time back to
normal, already panting heavily, the girl goes up to the swine creature that was floating and firing multiple balls of energy injuring the girl.
(I have to be very careful, I'm hurting myself too much with all this, it sucks, I'm already getting tired, I've never run and hurt myself as much as I do now, not even the battle against the mandragora was so hard, it really is all or nothing here).
Even though she was badly hurt, she made a point of getting very close and used the power of the bracelet quickly to make several cuts with all the speed she could muster, then turned the clock back to normal and the several cuts hit the monster, who felt the kick back, showing an expression of pain, and then quickly teleported around the arena, going even faster, while Kagari was panting with exhaustion.
(I've done it, I've hit him, at least three times, I don't know how many more I've got to beat him, but it's complicated and risky, it really is, I can't get too tired, otherwise I could end up suffering the worst).
"You're getting tired already, you're losing your energy, do you really think you'll be able to hold out until the end? Look at yourself, with this exhausted body, you can't even keep up with me, I can even see your eyes blinking briefly to accompany me with the bracelet, you know that my agility and power are superior, hahahahahah" Ganondorf said.
Even so, she didn't let herself be intimidated, the monster began to raise its hand and with that came a familiar glow which the crimson-eyed woman used to escape, knowing that the swine monster would appear in front of her she used the hammer and with that defended herself from a ball of energy hitting her as it was reflected and with that she used the platform creator as she saw the ground simply flash followed by a bolt of energy and was already trying to escape by jumping from platform to platform.
"You can try to escape, but your death is inevitable, I'm already sealing your fate here, you're only prolonging your suffering, if you give in soon you'll die a less painful death, if I were you I'd try that, it won't do any good" said Ganon who teleported right in front of the brown-haired girl who tried to escape.
But it was no use, she even used the hammer, but the creature's hands simply held her as if she were nothing, the impact coming with everything and then the creature itself threw the girl to one side of the arena and reappeared with a sword ready to strike, but then the warrior from Luna Nova created an explosion to prevent the impact and threw herself into the arena, sliding backwards as she watched the monster begin to rise upwards, swooping down to electrocute the whole arena.
Tired, she uses her sword and tries to beat back the electric ray with her strength, but this becomes more difficult as the swine pushes even harder, and she ends up receiving the shockwave with a very strong intensity, which ends up making her feel a little steamy all over her body, feeling an enormous burning, a pain that she feels all the way down to her bones, but even so, panting, she stares him right in the eye.
"Look, you're putting up with all this, I'm surprised to hear that you don't want to die for nothing, but it's a shame you're not putting up with much, I can see the tiredness in your eyes" said the monster, who teleported in front of the girl being even more intimidating.
(I just need to find a loophole for this, I'm not going to die for rubbish or else it'll be in vain, damn, that shock really hurt, I'm still trying to move something, it feels like my whole body is bubbling, but not for a good thing).
"Well, I think I'm going to have some fun with you" said the creature as it began to approach the girl.
The bracelet is used once more, and the swine-like creature begins to laugh as it floats up to the point where it comes very close with a single thrust that takes away the effect of time, after which the monster gives a rush of air and pushes the girl from behind, so that she puts her hand to her badly bruised chest while Ganon laughs.
A huge barrier of ice was being raised by Diana to stop him getting close, and as he did so he looked at the Cavendish and started laughing.
"I think I'll leave your wife in agony, I'd better sort things out with that meddler" said Ganondorf, not realising that at that moment it was the break the crimson-eyed woman needed, and she started to go and heal herself with the last remaining pot of fairies.
(You're our last hope, leave me in one piece to end this battle, I'm almost winning here, I won't give up for anything).
"Did you really think you were going to stand there and protect your beloved? What a cute but useless thing to do, I can even see that you don't have a face of despair towards me, your expression is one of complete
anger, complete hatred, you don't have the slightest fear, you're not even afraid of dying, but now I'm going to make you afraid" said the swine monster, who soon saw a middle finger appear.
"Then the ham will get away from my wife" said the brown-haired girl, who used her sword with fire and passed through the ice barrier, at which point the monster looked back and teleported closer to the girl.
"What do you mean? Ahhhh, I get it, you've saved healing potions, but it won't do any good, I'll still kill you, you've only postponed the inevitable, look at that, you've been healed at what cost, in a few attacks I can still defeat you" said the creature.
"Is that so? Let's see, why don't you come up and show us what you've got?" Said the warrior from Luna Nova, teasing Andrew.
"Did you think we wouldn't be prepared for this? We were just cooking, you're going to become a ham, you're going to be gone from this world for good" said the one with the platinum blonde hair.
"I won't show any mercy, I haven't before, I won't play with any of you, you'll die, so make the most of how long you have to live, because I won't spare you" said the lord.
"Diana! Get out of here now! I'll look after him myself, the future of Hyrule depends on you too" said Akko in a more serious tone, picking up her broom.
"Oh how cute, wanting to sacrifice yourself for your wife, how cute, I'll let you do it, I know it'll be useless, it'll be a stupid decision to take away the one you've been helping so much" said Ganon, mocking the situation.
With the broom in her hands, Atsuko hands it to her wife, who looks at it seriously and then both nod their heads in farewell, whereupon Kagari stares deeply into the eyes of the monster, who stares back and laughs as she prepares to launch another attack.
"Now that the obstacles are out of the way, it's time for the real battle" said Ganondorf.
The two of them stare at each other and soon the swine begins to show his speed, teleporting across the arena to intimidate the crimson-eyed one, who keeps her concentration and calm, remembering everything she has learnt over the years. Diana, on the other hand, uses her broom to move out of the dungeon, where she stays in the house on Triskellion Island, watching the battle unfold through the mirror there, already worried about what the outcome might be.
The final battle is raging, Akko is giving her all to defeat the evil of Ganondorf, since Andrew has already been defeated and even in a far superior way byAtsuko who didn't realise she was at such a high level, but the battle is not over yet since more powerful forms of Ganon have appeared and are giving much more work to the warrior from Luna Nova who will have to show her full potential in order to bring peace to Hyrule.
See you, pig witches...
