The room where was Link was now completely destroyed. Several slabs on the floor had been completely pulverized, while many cracks were visible on the walls, which also had holes. The balconies were now a wreck, while the ceiling threatened to collapse on the heads of those still in the room.

Fierce Deity Link glared at Link, who was still standing after that powerful spin-slash. However, having been hit by his opponent's attack, Link was now bleeding almost everywhere. The warrior's armor then crumbled into pieces as Link struggled to stand. Finding that he was still alive, Fierce Deity Link glared at him with a frightening look coming out of his eyes.

"I...will...not...lose..." Link said, groggyly picking up his sword and shield. "I did everything in my power to stop the evil that was on Hyrule seven months ago. I won't let someone like you take everything I love!"

Link yelled furiously as the triforce symbol began to glow on his left hand. Link then crouched down as the triforce began to glow even brighter.

"What is that?" Stylish asked, still leaning against the wall furthest from the combat area.

Seeming to know what was going on, Fierce Deity Link then charged in to end this fight. Unfortunately, he barely took a step forward when Link opened his eyes, before staring at him.

" TRIFORCE SLASH! " Link put his shield down in front of him and lunged at his opponent.

Link then rammed Fierce Deity Link with his shield, who then let out a triforce symbol around him. Link then threw down his shield and began to repeatedly strike at Fierce Deity Link, letting out colorful waves with each hit.

"GAAAAAA! " Link screamed, as he continued to punch Fierce Deity Link mercilessly.

Still not understanding what he was seeing, Stylish was stunned by Link's power as Fierce Deity Link passed out.

"IT'S TIME TO END YOU! HYAAAAAAAAA!"

Link does a powerful finishing move that destroys the triforce that was around Fierce Deity Link as he flew through the wall and into the sky as he disintegrated.

From his hiding place, Skull Kid was completely shocked. Then, taking a step back, he tried to flee. Nevertheless, he stopped, seeing Stylish, right in front of him.

"I may not be as powerful as the elf, but I assure you, you won't be able to leave here that easily."

Growling at first, Skull Kid then leapt into the air and teleported away.

"Tssss!" Said Stylish.

Finally, knowing there was nothing he could do to find him, the scientist walked over to Link, who was now unconscious after his powerful move.

"I'm not surprised he passed out." He said, looking at Link's wounds. "A normal human would have been dead a long time ago. It looks like he's used up all his stamina. He won't regain consciousness for a while."

Then, sighing, he seemed surprised at his determination.

"Put your life on the line to save your loved ones? That's clearly the kind of motivation I find stupid."

Hearing another explosion, coming a long way from the tower where he was standing, Stylish realized that Esdeath was still fighting.

"Great, now I have to stay here and pray for the others to come to me quickly."


Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the castle

Burning every enemy he saw, Bols was creating a veritable inferno, while hundreds of cries of agony could be heard through the flames that blanketed a large area of the castle courtyard.

"Daaaaaaaaaang, I never thought there would be so many. " Affirmed the masked man. " As soon as I kill an enemy, I have the impression that two others take his place. "

"This stream of enemies won't last forever." Assured Run. "Our enemies are many, but easy to kill! Let's just try to take turns, to allow some of us to rest, while the others fight the enemies."

Then, flapping its wings, it threw several feathers in the direction of archers, who tried to aim at them. Attempting to hide behind their wooden shields, the creatures could not even react, when Run's attack pierced through their defenses. , in an instant.

But while the Jaeagers seemed to have the advantage, Wave knocked out another enemy, before jumping back, to hide behind Bols. Disappearing his armor, he let himself fall on his buttocks, before catching his breath.

"Fighting for so long with my teigu exhausts me much more than I thought! It's the first time I've used it so much."

"Rest for a few minutes." Run advised him. "As long as Bols manages to keep them away, we should be able to keep them from touching us."

"Huh...I have to admit, it's also the first time I've used my teigu for so long." Bols confessed, burning other enemies. "I don't think my stash is going to last much longer."

Firing, meanwhile, with her revolvers, Seryu finally heard several "clicks", signaling her that her weapons were empty.

"Damn it! I'm going to run out of ammo."

Even Koro seemed to be starting to show signs of fatigue, as he took longer to regenerate any parts of his body that the enemy managed to damage.

"Let's try to hold on a little longer." Cried Run. "We must hold on until Esdeath-san can defeat Ganondorf! When that is done, it will only take a moment for her to…"

Suddenly, a sound of impact was heard. Then, behind the army of enemies that was in front of the Jaegers, cries of agony were heard. Then, hundreds of bodies were thrown into the air, struck by an unimaginable force.

"What is that?" Wave asked.

Finally, trying to flee, most of the creatures were crushed by the fists of a huge figure, which had no trouble fighting its way to the Jaegers.

Still surprised, the quartet looked at the huge archer figure towards them, while it was accompanied by a large pig, which seemed to serve as a mount. Not taking long to recognize the newcomer, the Jaegers were forced back into battle position.

"Him again?" Run growled.

"This time, we will have to fight to the maximum of our abilities. " Bols asserted.

"But we'll end up killing him." Seryu assured.

For his part, grabbing his sword again, Wave pointed it in the direction of the newcomer, before shouting.

"KING BULBLIN !"

In response, the horrible monster let out a roar, which shook the entire castle.


" FLAMETHROWER ! "

Seeing a torrent of flames coming towards her, Esdeath only extended her hand in her direction, before summoning a shield of ice to protect herself.

" ICE WALL ! "

Licking the ice wall, Blaziken's flames managed to melt some of it. However, carelessly regenerating the thickness of her shield, Esdeath only smiled.

"Even though fire is supposed to defeat ice, I don't think a simple flamethrower can force me to retreat."

Nevertheless, crossing his own flames, the pokemon found himself in front of her.

" BLAZE KICK ! "

Seeing the pokemon ignite his foot, Esdeath jumped back, just as the attack slammed into her ice wall, shattering it.

" CLOSE COMBAT ! "

Attacking now with his fists and feet, the fire pokemon attempted to aim for Esdeath's abdomen. However, as fast as him, the young woman had no trouble parrying his first attack with her sword, before dodging a kick, jumping elegantly. Then, reaching out to him, she summoned several spears of ice.

" GRAUNHORN ! "

Too close to her to avoid them, Blaziken was hit by the multitudes of ice spears, which slammed into him hard enough to force him to back away until he was close to his owner.

"Are you okay?" Goli asked.

"BLAZIKEN!" Assured his pokemon, getting back into a fighting stance.

Seeing this, Esdeath stretched her smile, before covering towards him, with her weapon drawn.

" I love this fight. "

" FLAMETHROWER ! "

Seeing a torrent of flames heading towards her again, Esdeath jumped into the air, to dodge it, before descending towards the pokemon.

"DIE!" She cried, lowering her sword.

" DETECT ! And continues with FIRE PUNCH !"

Letting his eyes turn blue, Blaziken simply tilted his upper body back, to avoid the blade of Esdeath's sword, which only grazed him.

"Huh?" Esdeath wondered, though she was sure she was touching him.

Then, her surprise was great when she saw Blaziken's fist appear in front of her face, before igniting.

"BLAZIKEN!" The pokemon shouted, before hitting his opponent.

Unable to do anything, Esdeath felt the flaming fist slam into her cheek, before being thrown backwards. Doing a long glide, she ended her course, hitting a wall before piercing it.

Seeing the wall crumble, while pieces of stone covered Esdeath's body, Goli waited a few moments, before applauding.

"Esdeath...I must say that I don't know many humans who would have had the same courage as you to face a pokemon! I congratulate you on your performance! Nevertheless, the victory is mine."

However, he was in turn surprised, seeing much of the area covered in ice. Even the ground around Blaziken suffered the same fate, as the ice froze the pokemon's feet.

" Blazi ... ?

A sinister laugh was heard. Now turned to ice, the rocks that crushed Edeath shattered, allowing him to rise to his feet. Doing this, she allowed Goli to see a large bruise on her face, while a trickle of blood ran from her nose. And yet, Esdeath's smile was still there.

"What is this stupid talk? Do you really think I'm going to give up? Bakayaro! Do you know how long I've been waiting to fight such a fight?"

Spawning several blocks of ice around her, she assured.

"Not only will I have fun fighting your creature like never before...but I'm also predicting my victory ahead of you."

"It's not always good to be overconfident." Goli affirmed.

"I'm just being realistic." Esdeath assured.

Then, she launched her ice blocks in the direction of the pokemon.


In the meantime...

Still facing the bulblin king, the Jaegers remained motionless, seeking to establish the best strategy to defeat him. However, not being in their best shape, they seriously doubted that they would be able to beat him.

"That monster slaughtered the rest of our enemies." Wave stated, his breathing heavy.

"But unlike us, he doesn't seem to be tired after performing this feat."

"I'm almost out of fuel." Bols affirmed. "I think I can barely attack this monster once."

"Damn it!" Seryu growled. "Me, I have no more missiles and my revolvers are empty."

Hearing this, Run stared at the monster, while thinking.

"Wave! How long do you need before you use your teigu again?"

"Huh…I think I can equip it again in a few minutes! But it will only be for a short while."

"In that case, I'll try to hold him off until then." Run affirmed.

"Run don't be silly." Bols retorted. "Don't forget that this monster fought Esdeath and managed to survive his fight against her! He's no amateur! Even if we weren't perfectly fit to fight, I doubt that..."

"Do you think we have a choice?" Asked his friend. "If this monster is here, it is to slaughter us! And escape is not an option! We must prevent it from fighting Esdeath, before it can defeat Ganondorf! It is therefore up to us to take care of it . "

Yet, having previously fought him alongside Tatsumi and Link, Run knew full well that they had no chance of defeating him.

"That monster...he may be as strong as the general."

Seeming to sense his hesitation, King Bulblin laughs then. Then, positioning a hand behind his back, he gripped his giant axe, which he brandished in front of him, much like a huge shield. Then he began to walk slowly towards the Jaegers.

Forced to step back, Wave, Seryu, and Bols let Run soar through the air, while Koro growled at the monster. Then, getting on his four legs, he ran at full speed towards him, before opening his enormous jaws. Simply raising his axe, the bulblin king struck his enemy's skull and managed to cut his head in half.

However, as Koro crashed to the ground, a storm of sharp feathers streaked towards the king, and began to cut into his skin. Screaming in rage, the monster positioned his shield in front of him, trying to protect himself as best he could from Run's attack.

"Do you remember me?" Run questioned him.

In response, the bulblin king threw his ax at him and the weapon flew into the skies. Nevertheless, suspecting this gesture, Run flew higher and managed to avoid the weapon which passed above him. Then, he targeted the monster again, and several of his feathers nicked the king's body again.

"If your army is not there to accompany you, I have no reason to be afraid of being the target of their arrows! Your weak point is to be attacked to reach me when I am in the sky. "

Indeed, the bulblin king seemed completely at Run's mercy, while he was unable to protect himself with his feathers. And noticing this, Bols approached discreetly behind the king, pointing his teigu towards him.

"I'll only get one try." He asserted.

Having already sensed his presence, the bulblin king knew he was in danger. However, already using his shield to protect himself from Run, he was unable to position it in front of Bols, without risking feeling the feathers pierce him. In short, he was trapped.

"They'll get it." Seryu asserted.

Getting ready to rejoice too, Wave heard a strange noise in the sky and, looking up, he shouted.

"RUN! BEHIND YOU!"

Reacting too late, Run heard the strange noise coming from behind him, before feeling one of his wings being clipped.

" What ? "

Throwing his axe, like a boomerang, the bulblin king had managed to bring his weapon back to him, and the edge of the ax was what had just severed Run's left wing. Unable to maintain flight, Run felt himself falling to the ground, as his feathers stopped attacking King Bulblin.

" RUN !" Shouted Wave.

"DAMN IT!" Bols snarled, hastening to spout flames from his teigu.

However, no longer the target of Run's attacks, King Bulblin jumped aside to avoid the attack. Then, taking the same position as an athlete at the start of a race, he ended up pulverizing the ground, when he started a race that directed him towards Bols.

Seeing him coming at full speed, while his charge was like that of an elephant, Bols targeted him again. Unfortunately, when firing, he saw no flames coming out of Rubicante. His teigu had run out of fuel.

" Not now. "

Taking advantage of this, the monster hit his face with his shield, causing him to spit blood. With a single blow, the king knocked Bols to the ground, as he let go of his teigu, now unusable. However, not having finished with him, the king grabbed his head and lifted Bols's body with one hand.

Waving it proudly above him, he clutched the handle of his ax with his second, before aiming for the man's neck, to decapitate him.

"DAMN IT!" Wave shouted, running towards him. "Do you really think I'm going to let you?"

" KORO : NUMBER ONE ! "

Being overtaken by Seryu, Wave saw her teigu regenerate his head, before biting his mistress' arm. But while a huge mass came out of his mouth, to weld itself to Seryu's arm, Koro resumed his chibi form, before collapsing on the ground, exhausted.

Not seeming to be able to count on him for the rest, Seryu nevertheless targeted the bulblin king and managed to hit him at the level of his left flank. Feeling the impact, the bulblin king winced in pain. Letting go of Bols, he felt his feet skid several feet.

Yet, managing to stay upright, he then turned to Seryu, as a trickle of blood trickled out of his mouth. Showing an angry look, Seryu growled.

"I hit him with all my might! Is he immortal?"

Behind her, Wave gripped the handle of his teigu, before finally making a move to slam it into the ground.

"Too bad if I have no more power! I will beat him."

Nevertheless, a hand landed on his shoulder, in order to stop him.

" Bakayaro. " Shouted Run.

With only one of his wings severed, the boy had managed to land on his feet. And despite the fact that his teigu needed repair to be usable again, Run was still able to think.

"Wave! Bols and I are unable to fight and Seryu can't count on Koro anymore."

Hitting Seryu's massive mace, with his battle axe, King Bulblin used his superhuman power to knock Seryu back.

"Wave! You need to rest the longest before going into battle! The more you rest, the more you can use your teigu."

"But...what if you die."

"If you fight now, we'll all die."

This time, Seryu jumped back, quickly followed by the king, who tried to cut her in half with his weapon. The situation was complicated for her, as even her huge club had cracks now visible, made by the king's weapon.

However, not thinking for a moment to give up, she walked towards her opponent again and many sparks could be seen as their weapons clashed.

Run and Wave knew Seryu couldn't win. However, Seryu was now the only person who could give Wave enough time to use his teigu again.
