In the meantime...
Screaming in fear, several evil creatures found themselves decapitated, while their blood covered Kurome's saber. Beside her, Tatsumi used his own weapon to rip open the rest of the enemies, who couldn't find a way to defeat the duo, who managed to decimate them.
Finding themselves in the west tower of the castle, the duo took a large number of stairs, in order to climb as high as possible and hope to be able to find Ganondorf.
"Ganondorf should be up there, but if the number of our enemies continues to increase, we won't be able to get to him."
For her part, Kurome remained silent. However, throwing a simple glance in her direction, Tatsumi saw that the young girl seemed again exhausted, as well as feverish. Her wounds hadn't healed at all, and her addiction hadn't gone away. Bringing her here to fight hadn't been the best idea. However, knowing how the girl would behave, Tatsumi preferred to keep quiet.
However, glancing in his direction, Kurome stared at his weapon for a few moments.
"Hey, Tatsumi! Come to think of it, I never saw you buy that sword."
"Huh?" The boy wondered. "I...Peach gave it to me."
"Really?" Kurome asked, frowning. "That's strange! This sword really looks like Wave's.
Hearing this, Tatsumi nearly lost his balance. Yet, putting on a stoic face at best, he retorted.
"It's just a coincidence! After all, how do you expect me to find a teigu here! It's impossible."
Seeming to seek an answer to this question, Kurome nevertheless ends up telling himself that he was right. Then, sensing a presence, she suddenly stopped, while grabbing the back of Tatsumi's vest to make him stop as well.
"Huh?" The boy wondered.
Leaving the ceiling, two armored lizalfos fell to the ground. Having attempted to aim at Tatsumi with their halberds, the two humanoid reptiles put on angry faces, while the boy's sudden stop caused them to miss their target. Unable to rip Tatsumi open, their weapons slammed into the ground, shattering the stone.
"Enemies again." Tatsumi growled, grabbing hold of Incursio again.
" Those might be harder to beat. " Kurome remarked, imitating him.
Raising their halberds, the two lezalfos ran towards the pair. Blocking the weapon of the first with his teigu, Tatsumi managed to stop him, while Kurome dodged the weapon of the second. Spinning backwards, she let her feet land on a wall and, with her legs bent, she propelled herself towards her opponent, swinging her sword.
Seeing her do so, the lezalfo positioned his halberd in front of him to protect himself. Still, putting on a shocked look, he couldn't see Kurome pass behind him, as she sheathed her saber.
Frozen for a few seconds, her opponent ends up seeing his halberd being cut into pieces, just like the armor he was wearing. Then, two large cuts could be seen on his chest. Unable to even scream, the monster collapsed to the ground and its corpse soon found itself surrounded by a pool of blood.
For his part, Tatsumi continued to block each of his opponent's attacks. Attempting to back away, the lizard was suddenly surprised to feel Tatsumi crush his tail with Incursio, immobilizing him. Then, Tatsumi lifted her foot and kicked her chin.
Screaming in pain, the reptile felt his helm leave his face, exposing his face. Taking advantage, Kurome ran towards him, before hitting his neck with her sword. Flying through the air, the reptile's head twirled several times, before falling to the ground, along with the rest of his body.
In a few seconds, the two Jaegers had managed to kill their two adversaries. But despite this, taking advantage of his invisibility, a chameleon-like monster approached them, while he was sure he could kill them without being seen.
Unfortunately for him, he roared in pain, feeling Kurome's weapons and Tatsumi sever his arms. Shattering his invisibility, the chameleon could be seen, while a large amount of blood flowed in jets at the level of his two stumps.
Having no mercy for him, Tatsumi and Kurome attacked him again and killed him without hesitation. Then, after making sure there were no longer any enemies, the duo finally put their weapons away.
Then, stepping over the corpses, the pair resumed running until they finally reached the top floor of the tower. Then, they stopped, when they found themselves in front of an enormous double door. Taking time to catch his breath, Tatsumi asked.
"Do you think Ganondorf is there?"
"There's only one way to find out." Kurome asserted.
Then, putting her hands on both doors, she pushed them open enough.
" FIRE PUNCH ! And FIRE KICK ! "
Blocking Esdeath's sword again with his fist, the pokemon cupped her face with his foot.
" ICE WALL ! "
Creating a shield of ice to block the attack, Esdeath then conjured up two spears of ice in front of Blaziken and hurled them at him. Piercing one of his shoulders, the projectiles screamed the pokemon, while blood escaped from his wound.
And before Goli could give him an order, the pokemon decided to attack by himself, as he felt the mortal danger that Esdeath represented
Blaziken use FLAMETHROWER.
Charging at Esdeath, the torrent of flames slammed into her, forcing her back. Feeling her feet slipping back several meters, Esdeath now had the front of her body bearing several burn marks. Nevertheless, continuing to smile, she stared at the pokemon, which had placed a hand on her injured shoulder.
"What fun, don't you think?"
For his part, seeing his pokemon being injured, Goli had lost all notion of amusement and now displayed a serious face. And he wasted no time as he reached for his belt. Seizing his partner's pokeball, he aimed it at him.
" Blazikan, retu ... "
" BLAZIKEN !" His pokemon retorted, staring at him.
Startled, Goli then saw him turn to Esdeath, while still wanting to fight her. Now that he had been hurt by her, the pokemon wanted to keep fighting out of pride.
Tatsumi and Kurome walked through the door to see they were outside again. Or rather, they quickly found that the place where they were was devoid of any trace of ceiling. It was as if someone had pulverized it, in order to be able to admire the sky.
Because of this, the pair could see large clouds forming in large numbers in the sky, as they took on black and yellow colors. And the sound of thunder could be heard everywhere. This atmosphere gave a gloomy air to this place which was the throne room.
Even though he had only been there a short time, Ganondorf seemed to have been somewhat busy transforming it so that this area would fit his criteria. Precisely, being seated on the throne, Ganondorf was facing the duo, while Zant was standing at his side.
" Jaegers. " Said Ganondorf.
While content to look at them, he smiled at them while maintaining a relaxed face, while he didn't seem at all afraid of their coming here. Immediately, Kurome and Tatsumi aimed their weapons at him. Seeing this, Ganondorf strained to get up in a hurry.
"So you decided to come here and face me, hoping that you would defeat me and restore Hyrule to the way it was? It's really cute ! But seriously, do you really think you have enough power to defeat me ? Unfortunately, that won't happen."
"You may be saying that, but I say the opposite." Tatsumi assured. "You really are a very unlucky man because, you decided to resurrect the day we came here! If you had waited a bit, maybe you wouldn't have had the misfortune to meet us."
"Heh heh ha ha ha ha! You amuse me, boy, but I'm afraid it won't save you now. "Said Ganondorf stepping forward.
Wanting to outrun him, Tatsumi rushed towards him, before hitting the top of the skull with Incursio. Nevertheless, while his gesture resembled Wave's first attack, when his companion had fought against Ganondorf, Tatsumi saw his opponent remain motionless, while he felt no pain. Still, he seemed interested.
"You're quite interesting! Your weapons don't seem trivial! That ice-making woman...that angel-like man...that fury with her dog...it's almost fun to be able to fight you. "
Suddenly, as he stood in front of him, Tatsumi let out a scream, before raising his leg. Striking Ganondorf's chin with all his might, his foot managed to snap his enemy's jaws, forcing him to shut up.
"What are you trying to say, you idiot?" Tatsumi asked, before jumping back.
Immediately, Ganondorf flew into a rage while Zant just laughed in amusement.
"Hahaha! This time, boss, you can't pretend he didn't hurt you." Zant laughed.
Seeming to ignore her completely, Ganondorf just glared at Tatsumi angrily. but still, he managed to calm down quickly and smiled.
"At first I thought you came here bravely and hoped to defeat me, but now I realize you're a fool looking for a good way to die." Ganondorf said looking at the triforce statue.
He then looked at Tatsumi.
"Like I did with your friends, I'll give you a few minutes to attack me. After that, I'll kill you and your girlfriend." Ganondorf said as Kurome narrowed his eyes.
"Don't esteem us." Tatsumi retorted, hitting him again with Incursio.
But as before, Ganondorf remained motionless, taking the attack without worry. Then, he did the same while Tatsumi chained his gesture with kicks, trying to find his opponent's weak point.
" Damn it. " He thought, noting that Ganondorf seemed to be invulnerable. " Normally, I would have already used Incursio's true power! But if Kurome sees that I truly possess a teigu, what will his reaction be? "
"Who's the matter, boy?" Ganondorf questioned him, mockingly. "I thought you came here to kill me! After all, other than your big mouth, you don't have anything amazing."
Suddenly, his knee hit Tatsumi's abdomen, causing him to cough up drool.
"If that's all you're worth, it's not even worth me giving you one more second of my precious time."
Putting his hand on the abdomen, Ganondorf put a hand on the boy's chest and created a magic circle, which generated a shock wave. Now spitting blood, Tatsumi's eyes turned white, as his body was slammed against a wall he ran through.
"Hahahaha! Stupid." Ganondorf asserted, walking towards the hole in the wall. "That boy must have been really stupid to think he could defeat me with so little power. The triforce of power makes me invincible."
" BLACK WIZARD'S PUNCH !"
Ganondorf let his fist cover itself in black flames as he wanted to end this fight.
"Even if you're weak, I must admit that you entertained me a lot! To thank you, I will grant you a quick and almost painless death. "
However, he suddenly froze before tilting his head to the side. Brushing his face, the end of Kurome's sword managed to slash his cheek, as the young woman landed in front of him.
"I think you're forgetting the fact that you don't have just one opponent to fight." She asserted.
Feeling blood running down his cheek, Ganondorf roared in rage.
" How ... ? "
Then, looking at Kurome's weapon, he seemed surprised to recognize it.
"Huh? A demon Tribe Smord? Where did you get that saber?"
"A crook give it to me in another world." Kurome said simply. "He claimed it was a legendary sword, but I didn't believe him."
"Tsss! Really, you're even dumber than I thought! But no matter, when I kill you, your saber will make a magnificent trophy."
Rushing towards Kurome, he tried to hit her. Nevertheless, struck by a mysterious force, his head flew to the side, while he felt like a mighty fist had hit him.
Falling to the ground, he moaned in pain, while Zant didn't even dare smile.
" Ga ... Ganondorf-sama ? "
Standing up, as veins of rage covered his face, Ganondorf found that he was bleeding from his nose again. Directing his gaze to Kurome, he thought that she was responsible for this attack.
" You ... "
Motionless, Kurome only directed her gaze to him, as she had the sensation of sensing a presence. Indeed, having taken advantage of him being expelled from the room, Tatsumi had transformed Incursio into armor and had taken advantage of the power of the teigu in order to become invisible. And thanks to that, he managed to hit Ganondorf.
Certainly, he knew that Kurome was going to suspect something, but he had no choice.
"Ganondorf, I hope you're ready for round two."
Clearly at a disadvantage without Koro, Seryu backed away each time her huge mace struck King Bulblin's axe. The gap in strength could even have been seen by a blind man, while the exhaustion seemed to cripple Seryu as well. No matter what he did, her opponent seemed invulnerable.
However, having understood that she had to buy enough time to allow Wave to recover some energy, she refused to give up the fight, even if this would cost her all the bones of her body.
Attempting to hit King Bulblin again, Seryu saw her enemy to avoid her massive club. Then raising his fist, the monster hit her on the chin. Stunned, Seryu was thrown into the air.
Seeing her flying through the air, before landing back to the ground, King Bulblin ran towards her, ready to crash into her before giving her a chance to hit the ground. Nevertheless, he was surprised to feel new feathers cut into his body.
Despite one of his wings being damaged, Run could still summon Sharp Feathers. Granted, he was unable to fly, but that certainly didn't mean he had become harmless.
Still, only screaming, the Bulblin King again tried to run towards where Seryu was going to land. Nevertheless, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist and powerful muscles managed to immobilize him.
Now having part of his mask turned red, from his own blood, Bols was breathing heavily, while his eyesight was completely blurred.
"You and me...we're not done."
And while he held the monster back, Bols saw Seryu about to crash to the ground. Half unconscious, the young woman felt unable to do anything, as she saw the ground approaching her rapidly.
However, jumping towards her, Run stretched out his arms towards her, and managed to catch her. Nevertheless, feeling Seryu's weight drag him down. Run collapsed to the ground, his body managing to break his friend's fall.
Screaming in pain, he felt his ribcage and his arms snap as he fell onto his back, with Seryu lying on top of him. Noting this, Seryu tried to straighten up, to see Run lying on the ground.
" R ... Run ..."
Simply raising a hand, the boy placed it on the young woman's head, while trying to display a smile to reassure her.
"This time...I managed to protect you."
Eyes widening, Seryu didn't know what to say. Eventually, hearing a cry of pain, she saw Bols' body being thrown before it flattened against a wall. Then, feeling fear, the young woman turned around, to see King Bulblin behind her. Now that Run and Bols were unable to fight, he could kill Seryu undisturbed.
But he forgot the fact that another person was at the scene of the fight. And that was why Wave managed to punch him in the face, just like Tatsumi had just done with Ganondorf.
However, unlike his companion's opponent, the bulblin king managed to maintain his balance, despite feeling himself sliding backwards for several meters. Then raising his face, to allow Wave to see blood flowing from his snout, the monster growled at the boy who had managed to activate his teigu.
"Thank you Seryu." The boy thanked her, as he positioned himself in front of her. "Thanks to you, I regained enough strength to be able to use my teigu for five minutes."
Then, not having a second to lose, he charged towards the bulblin king and gave him a powerful kick at the level of his jaws.
"That's for my friends you hurt."
