Chapter 41
After five minutes of having magic hurled at him by Ganondorf, Vaati couldn't take anymore. He groaned in pain and collapsed on the ground and was rendered unconscious. A while later, he opened his eyes and lifted his head up. Ganondorf was standing over him grinning evilly. He grabbed Vaati by his arm and lifted him up on his feet again. He started to chuckle darkly.
"So you were a weakling after all. You couldn't take my blasts of magic and you got knocked out. A pity. I thought I made you stronger than that. I trust that you have learned your lesson? I took the liberty of healing you and restoring your powers. Without them, you're pathetic. If you ever lost your powers in a battle with Link, you would be dead."
Vaati stared at Ganondorf in silence. He was starting to think he would be better off on his own. What kind of father punishes their son by tossing magic at him? He glared at Ganondorf in anger. He used his powers to teleport up in the air. He floated in midair above his father. Ganondorf looked at him and sneered.
"What's wrong, my boy? You got a troubled look in your eyes."
Vaati chuckled dryily.
"You throw magic at me to punish me and then you ask me what's wrong? I don't want to be your son anymore. You've changed a lot over the past seven years. You're insane, Ganondorf!"
Ganondorf glared at Vaati.
"So, you're planning a mutiny are you? After everything I gave you and did for you. This is how you repay me? What's happened to you?"
Vaati couldn't believe what he was hearing! He looked at Ganondorf in anger as his temper got more fierce.
"What do you mean? Nothing has happened to me! What about you? Did you get brain damage when you touched the triforce? I appreciate all the evil power you bestowed into me, but I've had enough of you."
Ganondorf yelled with rage and he teleported beside Vaati and grabbed him by the neck.
"How dare you! Nobody talks to me like that!"
Ganondorf held Vaati by the neck with one hand, while he charged up dark energy with his other hand. Vaati acted quickly and teleported out of his grasp. He ended up teleporting high up in the air. Ganondorf cursed angrily and tossed a ball of dark energy at him. It missed completely. Vaati laughed at him.
"Is that the best you can do? Some evil king you turned out to be!"
Stung by the insult, Ganondorf pounded his fist on the ground in anger. It shook the ground violently, causing a large cloud of dust to gather in the air. He looked up at Vaati and shouted at him.
"Get out of here you whelp! If I EVER see you again, I'll kill you!"
Vaati started to laugh again.
"Bye, Ganondorf! Before you try to kill me, you might want to work on your aim first!"
He disappeared in a cloud of smoke. Ganondorf was still shaking in anger.
"Just you wait, whelp! I'm going to go to the desert and have a talk with two of my most trusted soldiers in my army! They will help me exact my vengeance!"
Ganondorf walked over to the edge of the lava. Volvagia's huge scaly head popped out.
"I want you to destroy Link and his friends. Don't fail me!"
It nodded in acknowledgment. Ganondorf smiled.
"Good. I have to go now. I will be back later tonight to feed you your dinner of gorons."
Ganondorf disappeared in a cloud of black smoke.
