Akko was doing everything to be able to defend her friends and make it possible for them to escape, but she was no match for Lord Hanbridge and his great power possessed by the spirit of Ganondorf, she was soon tested with her skills with the recently captured master sword, which did not even manage to defeat Andrew, only the power of Claiomh Solais was enough to be able to hold on a little with the various arrows fired, but in this she was already more worried and with just a mere touch on the forehead she ended up falling into a deep sleep, being taken by the boy's horse. The dark-haired man did not follow the two women fleeing on horseback, he was following the path to his dominions in Dundee.
In a short time of travelling he arrived and was still able to circumvent the various troops of Wedinburgh who were already there trying to surround the city that the army of Appleton was dominating, while Akko was constantly disordered by the boy until he reached the rooms where one of the counts of that city was, locking the door and soon observing the elder entering and even strangely the place.
"What is this? Where am I? It looks like a castle, but it's not home, why didn't you throw me in a dungeon?" Atsuko said, feeling strange.
"Here will only be a temporary place, when night falls we will go on an attack towards the kingdom of Wedinburgh in a definitive way, I do not want my prize to live in the worst conditions, enjoy the food, I imagine that this time sleeping must have left you very hungry and very thirsty, here there are also quality clothes, you are now my property" Said Andrew and the girl soon stands with her arms crossed, but with the hunger she was she decides to give in and eat.
"You're a bastard" said the warrior from Luna Nova.
"I had a minimum of decency with you, I don't want a precious thing with such beauty like you to end up suffering so much, I just don't want you as an ally of that rotten kingdom, anyway I was respectful and I could even have taken off your clothes and allowed my men to do worse, but here are clothes for you since I realised that you bled on the way" Said Hanbridge.
Weakened, the crimson-eyed girl does not even try to attack, she just eats the bread and thinks about what had happened, worried about the princesses, her friends, if they had managed to escape and also about the kingdom, but even so she was confident that the queens could handle Appleton's army.
The lord soon left that room and left the girl more at ease, who went to change her underwear when she noticed that they were stained with blood and with that she was soon looking in the surroundings, there was no escape route, she was trying to explode a bomb on the walls with the bag she was using, using the few that were missing, but it was no use, the walls seemed very hard and all that noise made her noticed by the head of Appleton who soon arrived there laughing.
"There is no point in escaping from here, even if you try to break the walls, outside the whole city was dominated by my army, they will capture you and take you back to me, in short, you don't have the slightest chance, here alone there are almost two hundred thousand of my men, soon we will dominate the capital" Said the dark-haired one and the frustrated Kagari was soon dripping with tears.
"I hate you, I hate you, you won't win, I'd rather die than be with you" said the brownish one.
"Oh don't say that, I don't want to lose such a prize, don't keep punching the wall hurting such soft hands, I won't let you down like that, I'll give you the best possible conditions you can be sure" Said the lord who was grabbing the girl's face that returns with a slap.
"Get your dirty hands off me you pig" Akko said without fear of being slapped.
"If it were anyone else I would have already sent it to boil in oil, you really have no fear of doing these things, well my little precious your hand is very soft indeed, I think I'll go, I just made the warning very clear, as soon as night falls we will go out together for a wonderful walk" Said the green-eyed one who went waving to the crimson-eyed one devastated.
[...]
Try as she might, Atsuko couldn't even come close to having the ability to get away from that place and soon dusk was coming, which Hanbridge arrived with Kagari, taking her somewhat handcuffed, to ride on his horse and went there starting to point his troops to start the way towards the kingdom of Wedinburgh.
"Now is the time, let's all attack with everything, don't leave one alive from now on, only the queens, they must be captured alive, don't give them a chance to evacuate!" Said Andrew giving the orders.
"So that's what you're going to try to do? They're already at a point of being outnumbered, they're not going to last as long as they think they will" Said Akko who was along.
"I do not fail and you will soon see why" Hanbridge said.
The advance was beginning, the city of Dundee was emptied, the camp tents were dismantled, Appleton's troops were advancing further towards Wedinburgh territory, with very little left to reach the castle, which was already in the entarceder.
"It's already getting dark, you will lose more and more troops by the monsters are really very dumb for all this" Said Kagari laughing and only heard laughter from the elder.
"Just see what happens and you'll be surprised" said the lord.
Soon they come across the first camp, 20 thousand men were standing there, a war between the two sides was soon starting there, the warrior of Luna Nova looks at it all from afar horrified, the troops even prepared were being crushed by those of Appleton who were going in a strategy of just following directly in the attack, passing over like a steamroller.
Wedinburgh's troops were being warned on the way, in this first advance there were 11 thousand casualties for Appleton's army with all 20 thousand of that camp on Wedinburgh's side.
The hours passed, the night came, the troops of Wedinburgh gathered in the camp, there were also 20 thousand men together in that place, what Atsuko noticed that the creatures that were hostile before simply joined Hanbridge and formed another larger army, which they were advancing through the camp and the monsters surrounded the place until the protection was destroyed.
"What is this? The monsters were supposed to attack you not be on your side" said the frightened Kagari.
"This is my greatest triumph against Wedinburgh, the queens will be no match for my brilliance in the night" Hanbridge said.
"(This is a horror, these scenes, already more and more men I see dying, on both sides and seeing these deaths scare me, seeing them come out of the ground too, some of them coming back zombified to scare even more, I thought I wouldn't be traumatised, but I hope the queens have a plan in mind).
Appleton's troops simply decimated that camp and this time with fewer casualties, only five thousand men were killed, in addition to the way being open for the monsters to enter and they were just consuming the rest of the survivors, while the effect of the night ended up waking up some of the dead forming an army of living dead that followed the troops.
In the capital, the queens were already well armed and prepared, the troops were walking around the city, protecting everything, but fear took over the news that was received, regarding the frightening army of Appleton that was getting closer and closer to Wedinburgh.
"My queens, I received news, they can really attack at night, the monsters, the monsters are with them, the first and second camp are destroyed, many dead, in no time they can get here" Said the desperate soldier.
"Damn it... "We will defend this city tooth and nail, send all troops back to the outskirts of the castle, even if there are monsters in the way, a huge army will be unbeatable against any little monster" said Queen Laura.
"I will order my lady" said the soldier, who hurried off through the castle.
"What now, love? Will we survive this war? On the second one they even invaded the castle on the sly, but it was all a trap of yours, will they now be able to defeat us for good? And what about our girls?" Queen Bernadette said.
"I'm hoping that Croix and Chariot have managed to get them away from here, we will resist as long as we can, even if we lose it's good to know that the girls are safe, I know that by now they must be together and arriving on the island of Triskellion" McLaren said.
"I hope, I miss them already anyway, after all that we've had to face a war against Appleton and there's this one" Cavendish said.
And they were already sending the warnings, the various camped troops are receiving the message to retreat, going with everything, even with some monsters on the way they are killing and staying more on the
outskirts of the city of Wedinburgh, which even opened the gates to release the various soldiers who would be huddled in the city.
The hours were passing, some of the camps could not escape and the army of Appleton's men simply ran over the monsters ahead also cornered their way and were having more casualties and casualties, that was getting a real carnage in the open, in the middle of the night, a bath with a trail of blood was coming out along the way.
Dawn in and the advances continued, the city of Wedinburgh was getting crowded with soldiers who had to camp outside, many of them had already died on the way to monsters, were almost all the reinforcement troops at the queen's disposal.
Many managed to escape, but many were also horrified on the way screaming in pain because of the various monsters, the army byAndrew's dawn was at least 250 thousand men through the night and increased with each one who tried to escape, with more monsters, which really scared, gradually getting close to the capital. That was a proportion that frightened even Atsuko who saw that she was losing hope, she could not escape and could only be tied to that horse seeing the scene of men who protected her someday dying, seeing the troops coming close, which was making the queens lose sleep that whole night.
The day was already close to sunrise, the troops were already collecting monsters and the living dead, but the great war was beginning up ahead Wedinburgh Castle was being sighted ahead, which Handbridge already points to the city walls with men full of cannons firing towards the place what some troops already half full of sleep were attacking, starting there what would be a final war, 112 thousand men from Appleton against 96 thousand men from Wedinburgh, were all the troops left alive from the massacre, a real anthill that was spreading and colliding.
"We are coming, even without our monsters we do not need them, we will attack in a direct way" Said the lord of Appleton.
"Don't you see the slaughter you have done now? Thousands of people have died in your hand, adults, children, women, you have their blood on your hand, have at least a little bit of a person in you, you will gain what from all this?" Akko said, already devastated.
"I'm going to get what's rightfully mine, if your queen wasn't such a stubborn arse and married my father or accepted my mother marrying him, we wouldn't be like this, these lands are ours, for better or worse, this Cavendish lineage is very ungrateful indeed" Andrew said.
"Ungrateful? You massacred an entire city! You killed unarmed soldiers, mercilessly turned them into your own, you are a monster" said Atsuko.
"Monster I'm not a monster, I'm God, that said you seem to be quite detached from the story you were told, full of glitter and love the queens said, it all started back there with Queen Bernadette's father he was a descendant of Hanbridge, of Appleton, which already made the kingdom ours, your Cavendish so dear killed him, took most of the territory for themselves and still declared themselves queens, we had to shred, now they're just paying for what they did to King Lawrence of Wedinburgh, we're taking the land that belongs to us" Hanbridge said.
And the attack was starting a real war, onlyAkko did not expect one thing, an advance being suddenly by the horse, he was going tearing through the troops of Wedinburgh, killing what he saw along the way she was seeing that she was quickly passing through the walls, even with the men trying in every way to get close. As a figure was already in the city, the soldiers tried, but it was no use, they ran over the path advancing until they reached the entrance to the castle, there the boy snaps his fingers and turns the horse into a sword and takes Kagari by the handcuffs with one hand.
"You will be no match for my power, I don't care who is dying back there" Said the dark-haired one.
"Are you satisfied that you have already killed a good part of the troops and reached the castle?" Said the brownish one.
"I just want to reach the queens, nothing will stop me because I have the power in my hands" Said the green-eyed one.
And he was advancing more and more getting close to the bridge that leads inside the royal castle and simply melting it as if it were nothing, with just a ball of fire, he passed to the other side and simply in front of the castle inside the soldiers were getting scared they ran from the boy who was still making a bloodbath in front, there he was walking slowly through the castle, causing screams to be heard.
"A beautiful castle that will one day be part of my kingdom, this place is really worth it, look at this Akko, it could be yours one day, it could be your lineage if you co-operate with me" Said the boy pushing the crimson-eyed girl.
"I'd rather die than give in to you, you bastard, you won't be able to kill the queens" said the warrior of Luna Nova.
The worst happened, while outside the battle was bloody and fierce, inside the castle the lord of Appleton had just arrived in the throne room and he soon comes across Queen Laura wearing an outfit very similar to Akko's, in addition to Queen Bernadette being beside her also armed and the two are soon facing the boy seriously who also faces the same way.
"Release Akko immediately or we will act without mercy" Queen Laura said.
"Oh you want it, I'm sorry, but the prize will be mine" said Andrew.
"I'm not a prize, let me go, damn it" said the girl who even tried to get loose, but was thrown into a corner of the throne room, bound in some chains to a pillar and so she could barely move her legs or move her arms.
"I haven't done this for years, back to the old days" said the McLaren who even gave a little smile.
"Do you really think you are a match for the power of Ganondorf?" Hanbridge said, laughing.
Soon he comes across what was the warrior of 30 years ago who was soon arriving with an advanced one that made him have to defend himself with his sword with agility, the 45-year-old woman still showed a lot of disposition, then the other queen appears with the rapier already giving a blow that the lord of Appleton dodges, but even so it grazes the shoulder of the boy who feels that pain.
He takes steps back, but soon receives a blow that almost ends in a cut but defends with the sword that the red-haired majesty attacked him, but the other with platinum blond hair tries to give another blow and receives a current of wind that pushes her back and makes her just stand up looking at the 20-year-old boy with dark hair, which then separates and stares at each other, with Kagari simply watching that scene dumbfounded.
(For the triforce, they are way beyond what I thought they were, I could never have imagined that the queens were not only too skilful, but they are strong, together they are a fatal combination, even I couldn't land such blows on Andrew, but Queen Laura seems to fight as an equal, Queen Bernadette too, they are really giving it their all and I'm standing here helplessly with these chains tightening on me).
"You really didn't hesitate to be with the triforce in hand, apparently you already knew what I had been keeping" Said the boy healing the wound on his shoulder.
"We will not allow a threat like this to take over the peace of Hyrule, you may be the spirit of Ganondorf that you are, but we still have the triforce with us" said Laura pointing her sword at Andrwe.
The queens continued to attack the boy who really showed difficulties with the double attack that even managed to hurt him a little, with a few blows, which deeply irritated the dark-haired one, who went so far as to get heavier with Ganondorf's spirit and use more of his power to disperse the pair that was even becoming more careful in the attacks.
"This thing is really going to be hard for us to kill" McLaren said with his hands on his waist.
"It's not impossible, let's try what we can" Cavendish said.
They hold hands and kiss each other, they start to advance towards the lord of Appleton who is using an attack that releases shadows towards the queens who are dodging jumping and rolling, which then he feels an arrow being launched towards him which bothers him, but he does not realise that he soon receives a blow from behind Queen Bernadette.
He feels the stab and comes across the other queen coming to give him a cut on the head what the boy uses that kind of shadow to push her back and then punches the face of the platinum blond hair, then went out of that blow of the rapiera as if it were nothing.
"Do you really think that ordinary weapons like these are going to do anything to me?" He said laughing and the two queens were already noticing how he was half immortal.
"It seems we have someone here who doesn't die" said the redhead staring at the boy.
"The punch even hurt a little, but here we'll have to do it" said the one with the olive green eyes.
The queen with the rapier in her hand goes up again what the boy is already trying to attack, but soon he is faced with a lamp that was thrown in his direction causing a small fire, then Bernadette uses an ice spell to give a thermal shock around what will cause simply some parts of the lord to become brittle, being just the time where Laura takes the opportunity to give a nice punch to the boy's body that ends up breaking into a few pieces, but still has whole parts, just some superficial bleeding.
The pair goes together giving some cuts and stabs, which fills everything with blood, until the boy's body is thrown to one of the pillars, they extend their hands making what looked like a glyph.
"You can be immortal and regenerate all you want, but you won't get away with it" the queens said.
A ray of light was coming out of them, creating a spiral that went around the body of the lord who was screaming in pain with his spirit, which he was trying to escape, as was Kagari, but she couldn't, her hands were tied.
"Please Akko try to use some of the magic, to bring a vase here, we will seal the curse and bring peace to Hyrule" Said Queen Laura.
"I'm trying, but my hands can't move" said the crimson-eyed one.
"We believe in your potential" they both said.
Akko was trying as she could, she was using her head to try to move some vase nearby, she was trying to get loose, but her hands wouldn't move, she was feeling useless, which soon she was seeing that her attempt failed and the spell didn't work, which both elders were tired and panting, seeing Kagari crying in frustration for having failed.
"Don't be like that Akko, we tried the easy way, but we can still beat you..." Said Mrs McLaren with a smile on her face until she noticed a spear through her chest.
"Laura!" Said the desperate Mrs Cavendish.
"This attempt to seal me was useless, before that I was already preparing some spears to take them by surprise, in this case only the former heroine, it seems that now she is all wounded, nothing she can do, a real pity for you Laura McLaren" Said the lord walking slowly to the redhead who was still alive and in great pain.
"Fuck you, you arsehole" said the blue-eyed one, who was spitting blood, showing her middle finger and falling to the ground.
"Looks like the classless queen is still classless doesn't it?" Said Andrew laughing at the whole situation.
"Bernadette... My love... Don't give up, show this guy you can fuck him... I love you... Protect... Hy... Rule... Ughhhhh" Laura speaks one last thing until the blue of her eyes becomes opaque with life leaving her body.
In this the tears are falling down the face of Cavendish who is staring at the boy who is laughing, but soon an aura is circulating her that is floating, it was the power of the triforce, to the point of leaving it floating, as if it were a fire passing around the body of the oldest who was already going up to Andrew.
She already arrives to strike the boy, but her sword hits the boy's, which already causes an impact of lights, something that Hyllian de Luna Nova observes shocked by the immense power that the triforce is capable of reaching, something that goes far beyond what she had seen, seeming to be divine.
(Queen Laura... She's gone... After all that... Was it all worth the progress? For the triforce... Defeat this bloke your majesty, I feel so useless here, trapped in these chains).
They were exchanging blows with everything, Bernadette, had very precise strokes that were always blocked with light, which ended up causing sparks that were flying everywhere with the impact, showing that neither of them were taking it easy going with the intention of killing.
The one with platinum blonde hair even had her hair emanating and shining with a green light so much that she was forcing it, while the boy was as if the shadows were consuming him by that dark energy.
"It seems that the queen knows very well how to use the power of the Triforce" said the boy.
The older one was simply mute, she was using all the strength she had, but it seemed that every attempt she made was failing to the point that she was getting the colours of her hair with less light, already getting a little breathless seeing that she couldn't force the power of the triforce so much momentarily, which she decides to even stop a little and concentrate everything when she saw that it was the perfect direction.
"You missed badly" Hanbridge says when he sees the queen using an attack that cast magic through the sword and even gives a smile.
This attack ends up melting the chains that held Atsuko, who ends up falling free on the floor when she notices that she is already jumping for happiness, but that turned out to be the biggest mistake, since Appleton's boss simply realised everything.
"Free! Free at last! Thank you queen!" Said the excited Akko who went running to the castle door but was faced with it closing and locking by means of power.
"Akko no!" Shouts the queen who then goes towards her.
The boy ends up going slower letting the majesty get closer to Kagari, only the distracted Cavendish didn't realise she was tricked, and when she least realised it a black light passes through her chest as soon as she approaches the crimson eyed girl trying to escape, to the point she even loses the sparkles in her hair and goes kneeling on the ground in front of the girl.
"Akko... Akko... Tell my daughters that I love them... I don't think we can protect you from him... I still have hopes that you will defeat him, it seems that now I will join my wife" Said Bernadette who came to the point of spitting blood that even wet some of Luna Nova's Hyllian.
"Queen Bernadette!" Said the brownish girl crying.
Both queens were killed by Andrew who soon notices where the piece of the triforce giving power to the royal duo was and immediately picks it up for himself, simply seeing the girl crying near the body of the two, to the point of having even dragged to leave them hand in hand lying on the floor, holding them, with tears falling on the body of both.
"Queens... I promise you that I will do my best to defeat this bastard, you died with honour... You will be special, no one will forget you, your daughters will be well and protected" Kagari said crying as she went to see the two and heard laughter coming from Handbridge.
"This is what happens to anyone who dares to challenge the power of the future king of Hyrule, now you have seen everything you wanted to see, the queens are gone, but soon you will be able to reign in this castle, I just need to find the princesses and marry one of them" Said Andrew who was watching the furious girl get up and even trying to hit Bernadette's rapier with a blow but he simply holds the blade with his hand.
"Damn you! Damn you! You will pay for everything you have done, you will never have the princesses in your hands" Said the furious girl with crimson eyes.
"How cute, do you really think you can defeat me like that?" the boy said. "I have two pieces of the Triforce, two, I am more powerful than ever, you will never be able to defeat the great power of Ganondorf," said the boy.
"Why... Why all this? Why do you cause so much harm? People just wanted to live in peace, will all this power be worth it? You will own nothing like that, you will have destroyed everything, nothing will be left -said the indignant brownish woman.
"Because power gives pleasure, because after all you have no idea what all this power grants me, I am not interested in having these Hyllian things, what interests me is to bring the gold back to Ganon, finally lead those I am part of, not you Hyllians, we will dominate everything and then enslave those left to give us that stewardship we deserve" Said Andrew.
"Wow, how original, you're the bad guy who wants to take over the world, in any sense you're an idiot, just change things to how they've always been with you, what difference did it make?. Holy shit" Akko said shrugging and even letting go of her rapier, walking out towards the castle door.
"Where do you think you are going?" Hanbridge asks aggressively.
"I'm going to kill myself after this, you're just a megalomaniac without grace, I'd rather die than endure being your prisoner, I think this sword should suit me, well ... Diana... Save Hyrule because I think I'm out..." Kagari even tries to do so but is prevented from sticking the sword in her chest when the black haired one stops her by taking the sword from her hand.
"Don't try to kill yourself, you are my prize, you are too precious and pure for this world, I will not let you have a single scratch, now that my work here is done we will wait for my troops, when victory comes you will go with me to your new home" Said the green-eyed boy.
"Why did I get myself into such a fate, I was living so well and so happily and you arrived, you seem to have no empathy at all" said the crimson-eyed one.
Andrew was just waiting in the throne room keeping Akko as a prisoner right there, even ordering the members of the castle to serve him what they were obeying with the fear of death, especially the soldiers who were trying in every way to defend themselves from Appleton's troops.
And the war was continuing outside, bodies and bodies accumulated in the surroundings not only of the fields, but also outside, with an advantage for the kingdom of Hanbridge that was even celebrating his victory next to Akko who was disgusted to be next to the boy.
A good few hours of war passed and by the evening of that day the city was occupied, with Appleton's army left with only 34,000 men alive in a bloody war to conquer the kingdom of Wedinburgh, that was a massive defeat for the queens and the end of that peaceful reign that lasted 25 years of pure prosperity, beginning a period that will be very dark in the history of Hyrule, with the dominance of Lord Andrew Hanbridge who successfully managed to simply capture the legendary warrior for himself and have two of the three pieces of the Triforce in hand.
Akko ended up in an extremely complicated situation where she has no idea what to do after such a humiliating defeat happened to her and all of Hyrule.
You're gonna carry that weight...
