Growling in displeasure, Ganondorf had his arms crossed in front of him, as he tried to absorb the blows he received. Noticing that Kurome remained motionless, he finally understood that she was not responsible for this strange phenomenon. And since Tatsumi had not reappeared for some time, the man wondered if he was not the author of these misdeeds.
With him still invisible, Tatsumi moved behind Ganondorf and kicked the back of his left leg, knocking him to his knees.
"Grrrr!" He growled.
Then, Tatsumi stood in front of him and aimed his fist at his face.
" It's finish. "
Unfortunately, suddenly roaring, Ganondorf caused an aura to appear around him which transformed into a shockwave. Hit by the attack, Tatsumi felt himself thrown backwards, before hitting a wall. because of this, his power of invisibility ceased allowing the people in the room to see him again.
"You…" Ganondorf growled, getting to his feet.
"Who is this armored person?" Zant asked. "Could it be the guy from earlier?"
For her part, remaining silent, Kurome simply stared at the newcomer who struggled to get back on his feet. Noticing that the white armor resembled Wave's, she couldn't help but be surprised, while she realized that it was a teigu. And if it did, there was only one person who could have it and use it.
" Tatsumi ? "
Realizing that he couldn't hide his identity any further, the boy growled in displeasure. Then, knowing that it was useless to want to hide any further, he affirmed.
"Kurome, if we fight together we can defeat these guys."
"Before that, can I know how you managed to have a teigu?" Asked the girl.
Then, remembering an important piece of information, she declared.
"Incursio...that's the name of the teigu similar to that of Wave! And this teigu belongs to the revolutionary army."
Pointing her sword at Tatsumi, she questioned him.
"Are you an enemy?"
"Hey, can't we talk about this later? There's more important things to deal with."
" I agree with you. "
Suddenly, Ganondorf's foot hit Tatsumi's helm and despite his protection, the boy felt like he was being hit directly.
"Gnnnnnn!" Tatsumi moaned, falling to his knees.
"You're going to regret making a fool of me." The tyrant said.
Not caring about this, Tatsumi struggled to get to his feet and rushed towards Ganondorf while attempting to punch him.
Tatsumi and Ganondorf quickly struck each other as the throne room was almost a wreck. Stretching his fist forward, Tatsumi managed to punch Ganondorf in the stomach. Unfortunately, withstanding his attack, Ganondorf remained motionless and counterattacked by grabbing Tatsumi's head. Unable to react, he felt his opponent press his knee against his helm. Cracks immediately appeared on his helm, proving the tyrant's strength. If the battle continued, Ganondorf could soon destroy Incursio.
Letting Tatsumi fall to the ground, the tyrant then floated towards the ceiling. Then, reaching a great height, he let his feet catch fire.
" WIZARD BLACK FEET !"
Ganondorf covered his feet in black flames, before dropping towards Tatsumi and giving him a double-kick. However, still conscious, Tatsumi managed to dodge the attack, rolling on the ground. However, following him with his gaze, Ganondorf summoned lightning and used it to strike down the boy.
Feeling electricity course through his armor and body, the boy cried out in pain, making Ganondorf laugh.
"Heh heh ha ha ha ha! Is this how you fight your enemies? How can a weakling like you hope to win, with so little power? I have to say it's quite humorous, but I don't see Still not sure how you're going to win this fight."
"Tssss! You're not the first to underestimate me." Tatsumi affirmed, struggling to remain standing. "You will see that you will regret your words in a short time."
"Oh, really? You had almost scare me."
Then, teleporting, he appeared in front of Tatsumi and struck him again.
Seeing the tyrant act as if Tatsumi was a toy, Kurome couldn't help but feel unsure. Normally, she would have already rushed to help the boy. But now that she doubted the boy's honesty, she wondered if she should still consider him like her comrade.
In the meantime...
Regaining his senses, Link woke up before standing up.
"GANONDORF!" he shouted.
However, still finding himself in the same room as earlier, the elf saw no one next to him, except Stylish. Not wanting to be alone for too long, the scientist had no choice but to treat the elf. And thanks to this, Link could stand up without feeling the slightest fatigue or pain.
"Unbelievable! I feel like I didn't fight."
"Don't be under any illusions." Stylish retorted. "I simply made you drink something that makes your body feel like you're healed."
"Huh? Why didn't you give me another green mushroom?"
"Are you kidding? There's no way I'm going to give you another one of my precious mushrooms! Besides, I hope you'll repay me for all the care I gave you."
"Tssss! You're the worst doctor I know."
"I am a scientist and the best of all." Stylish assured. "Just be glad I healed you twice."
Suddenly hearing an explosion, Link approached the huge hole in the wall to see Esdeath fighting Blaziken.
" What is happening here ? "
"Esdeath is having fun." Stylish told him. "And I advise you not to intervene in her fight! She could kill you."
"Huh? Finally, Tatsumi and Run are working with a group of crazy people."
"Instead of insulting us, shouldn't you worry about more important things?" Stylish asked. "Didn't you want to save a princess?"
Immediately, Link shouted.
"Zelda! I almost forgot about her! I have to save her."
Then, without giving Stylish time to react, the elf rushed out of the room.
"Hey! Wait for me." The scientist shouted, starting to follow him.
Unfortunately, finding himself in a hallway, Stylish saw Link disappear in the distance, moving too quickly for him! can follow him.
"Damn elf! He was supposed to protect me."
Smiling mockingly, Ganondorf easily dodged Tatsumi's attack. Then his fist hit his abdomen. Even with Incursio, Tatsumi spat a few drops of blood out of his helm.
Feeling his legs tremble, Tatsumi seemed to feel his vision begin to darken, while numerous cracks covered his armor. Ganondorf had no trouble surpassing Incursio's power.
"What were you telling me?" Ganondorf asked. "That I underestimated you? If you ask me, you only won your previous fights because your opponents were mortal."
Pointing at himself, he stated.
"But compared to them, I'm a god! Seriously, what were you planning to do against me? You're not even worthy of licking the dust that covers my soles."
In response, Tatsumi allowed himself to become invisible. Yet, continuing to smile confidently, Ganondorf seemed to follow his movements. And as Tatsumi went to attack him from behind, Ganondorf quickly turned around and struck him with his foot.
Hit again, Tatsumi was thrown backwards and collapsed on the ground.
"Really! You should never have come to challenge me! It doesn't even amuse me to ridicule you anymore! I'm going to finish you off now and...GAA AAA AAA AAA HHH HHH HHH HHH HHH!"
Screaming suddenly, Ganondorf felt as if an electric current enveloped his body. Angry, Ganondorf looked at the person responsible, who turned out to be a woman with her bow.
"Who are you?" Tatsumi asked.
"Zelda?" Zant recognized her.
"You...how did you get here?!" Ganondorf asked.
"I used a secret passage from my room to get here! You will not take back my kingdom again! Ganondorf, Link beat you once! So I know he will have no trouble stopping you a second time . " Zelda said as she readied her bow again.
However, Zant blocked her path.
"I don't think so, princess." Said Zant.
"You're as pathetic as those damn Jaegers." Ganondorf said. "When will you understand that I am immortal?"
However, taking advantage of the fact that he was staring at Zelda, Tatsumi rushed behind him to attack him.
"Huh?" Ganondorf said, turning around.
Clenching his fist, he aimed it at Tatsumi's face. However, ducking at the last minute, Tatsumi dodged his attack. Then, using the strength he had left, he struck Ganondorf's chin.
Having lowered his guard, the tyrant was hit violently before flying straight towards the throne and crashing into it, destroying it in the process. Catching his breath, Tatsumi hoped that would end the fight, while Zelda looked at him in amazement.
" Su ... Sugoi. "
For his part, Zant couldn't help but be worried. For the moment, Ganondorf had managed to remain calm. But if Tatsumi continues like this, the tyrant will eventually get angry. And if that happened, he could destroy this entire castle, killing everyone, including Zank.
At that moment, Tatsumi saw Ganondorf's figure get back to his feet. Letting black flames surround him, Ganondorf had lost his smile, while a trickle of blood flowed out of his mouth.
"You brat!" He muttered, while a vein of rage appeared on his forehead.
Then seeing him get up, Tatsumi noticed that his attack had not had much effect on him.
"Damn him! I have to find a way to knock him out."
"Oh no, you don't!" Zant shouted, opening a portal behind Tatsumi.
"Huh?" The young man was surprised.
At that moment he felt himself being sucked in and, unable to resist, he ended up disappearing inside.
"I'll take care of you." Zant assured, jumping into the magic portal.
"Tatsumi?" Kurome was surprised, as the portal disappeared.
Ganondorf then stood up and looked at Zelda.
"It's because of you that my Triforce of Power hasn't been working recently, isn't it?" » asked Ganondorf, grabbing Zelda by the wrist.
"I found a way to stop your power using my Triforce of Wisdom! You are not the only one who knows how to use the Triforce, Ganondorf." Zelda said, which made Ganondorf a little unhappy.
"Tssss! Do you seriously believe that your miserable power can forever face mine! You are exhausting yourself needlessly. " Said Ganondorf, while slapping Zelda to knock her out.
Zelda fell on her back, unconscious, while Ganondorf then felt comfortable. Walking towards the middle of the throne room, he looked at Kurome, who still had her saber pointed at him.
"It seems that it is just you and me! Since I feel merciful today, I will let you live for the time being." Said Ganondorf.
"Tssss! Would you be afraid of me?" Kurome questioned.
Simply smiling, Ganondorf retorted.
"Not at all! It's the opposite! In truth, I'm not the type of man who really enjoys fighting lesser beings! You're far too weak for me to enjoy beating and killing you."
Hearing this, Kurome couldn't hide her anger. She definitely hated this world. This world where everyone seemed to consider her weak. Gripping the handle of her weapon much tighter, she finally rushed towards Ganondorf.
"Oh, you still want to challenge me too? Is this courage or stupidity?"
"Stop thinking you're a god." Kurome roared. "You're just a stupid guy who I'll cut through in two seconds."
Meanwhile...where Tatsumi went...
Tatsumi stood up groggily and took in his surroundings. He was on a large round platform that floated in the sky thousands of feet above a small town below. The sky was a mix of black and white and there was not a cloud in sight.
"Where am I? And how did I get here?" » Tatsumi asked until he saw Zant appear right in front of him.
"Welcome to my world, kid! Where there is no Light and darkness reigns over all." Zant said proudly.
"Who are you and why did you stop me from fighting Ganondorf?" Tatsumi asked.
"Don't get me wrong, kid! As much as I would have loved to see you beat my so-called master, I just couldn't let you fight him anymore! It's obvious that you're strong enough to hurt him...but not to kill him! And because of that, all you would have managed to do is piss him off! And when he's pissed, Ganondorf is likely to destroy everything! Honestly, I have no desire to die when I've only just been resurrected."
"Be resurrected? Who is responsible for this? Why did anyone want to resurrect beings like you?"
"I have no idea! Right now, all I can tell you is that you're going to stay here until Ganondorf kills all your friends! If you want, I could leave you here for that you can watch this world disappear and then I will kill you! What do you say?"
Noticing that Zant was speaking to him as if he were nothing, Tatsumi gritted his teeth through his helm, before roaring.
"No way! I won't let you or Ganondorf hurt my friends, you big lemon head. " Tatsumi shouted.
The words "lemon head" echoed in Zant's mind as he was completely furious.
"The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-The-Lemon Head!? HOW DARE YOU BRING BACK THIS HORRIBLE WORD THAT HAS TORTURED MY MIND FOR YEARS!? I'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM THE SLOWEST AND MOST PAINFUL DEATH EVER!" Zant shouted as he teleported away and reappeared floating in the distance.
A helmet then appeared on Zant's head, which looked like some sort of chameleon with its tongue sticking out and its head shaped like a triangle. Seeing this, Tatsumi couldn't help but be surprised by the design of the helmet.
"I have never seen such a strange and ridiculous helmet."
Not realizing until too late that he had just spoken out loud, he saw Zant staring at him angrily.
"YOU WILL STOP MOCKING ME ONCE I PUT OUT YOUR EYES! DIE!" Zant shouted as he fired purple blasts towards Tatsumi.
Jumping to the side, Tatsumi managed to avoid them. However, the explosions exploded right behind him and the boy almost fell forward from the power of the shockwave. Shaken and exhausted, Tatsumi struggled to stay standing, which made Zant laugh.
"HAHAHAHA! Instead of making fun of my physique you'd better worry about your physical weakness! Seriously, how could a guy as weak as you hope to defeat Ganondorf! It's hilarious."
In response, Tatsumi forced himself to run towards him and punch him in the face. However, Zant simply created a magical shield in front of his face, to stop the attack.
"For a simple vermin, I must admit that you are obstinate! However, obstinate or not, you remain vermin." He stated as he fired more blasts.
Seeing the attacks coming towards him, Tatsumi quickly fled, while becoming invisible. Seeing him disappear, Zant teleported and appeared in the center of the platform. Then, a circle of fire appeared around his feet. Growing it, Zant allowed the size of his flames to intensify, as they moved across the entire platform.
In an instant, Tatsumi saw flames surrounding him. Stepping back, he lost his concentration, causing his invisibility to disappear. Managing to see him, Zant targeted him.
« DEATH SHOWER! »
Zant raises his hands in the air and fires numerous purple blasts into the air as they all fell directly on Tatsumi. Struck by the first explosions, the boy then performed a backflip to avoid the next ones. Attempting to flee the explosions, he had no choice but to run towards Zant to attack him.
" AHHHHHHHHHH! " He shouted, hitting the wizard.
But again, Zant created a magical shield to stop his fisting.
"Don't you understand reality?"
The next second, Zant created a purple explosion that hit Tatsumi's abdomen. Having the greatest difficulty withstanding the attack, Tatsumi's armor began to be reduced to pieces at his abdomen.
"Your armor has reached its limit." The wizard remarked.
Then he kicked him. Struck in the face, Tatsumi felt part of his helm being destroyed, now seeing the lower part of his opponent's face, Zant smiled as he saw blood flowing out of his mouth.
" Do you have a problem ? "
In response, Tatsumi fell to his knees, seemingly unable to continue the fight.
"Like I told you, you should never have meddled in our affairs! Your stupidity will be the reason for your death."
Then, he punched Tatsumi in the abdomen again. Not even having the strength to scream, Tatsumi collapsed onto the floor of the platform. Seeing this, Zant sneered.
"HAHAHAHAHA! To think that I wanted to spare you to allow you to see the destruction of this world! However, it seems that you are the first to die."
However, instead of killing him quickly, Zant took advantage of the situation to crush Tatsumi's face under his foot.
"That's where you belong, vermin! In the end, you would have been nothing more than a simple toy."
Staying on the ground, Tatsumi didn't move, even though he was already half unconscious. Feeling his eyes begin to close, he whispered.
" I will die? "
" Tatsumi ? "
Surprised, the boy suddenly saw Akame's face in front of him, just like that of all the members of Night Raid.
" TATSUMI! " They shouted.
Continuing to crush the boy's head under his foot, Zant declared.
"There's nothing fun about killing you after all."
Suddenly turning around, he affirmed.
"I'm going to see Ganondorf kill your comrades! And before killing you, I'll bring you their heads."
However, as he was about to teleport off the platform, he felt a hand grab his foot.
"Huh?" He was surprised, turning around.
Holding his foot, Tatsumi whispered.
"I refuse to let you go."
"Tssss! I've never seen a guy as stupid as you."
Then his foot hit Tatsumi's face, knocking him back. And then creating a ball of black fire in his hand, he struck Tatsumi's chest, who disappeared inside with an explosion.
"You should have accepted my clemency."
However, the wizard was surprised when he heard a powerful roar coming from inside the explosion.
" Huh ? "
Then he saw Tatsumi getting back up.
"Oye! Is this a joke?" Zant asked, creating a new fireball in his hand. "I thought he was almost dead."
However, he was completely surprised to see that Tatsumi's armor was transforming.
" What ? "
Leaving the explosion area, Tatsumi showed off his new armor design, which strongly resembled a bipedal dragon.
"What is this?" Zant wondered.
And before he could react, Tatsumi disappeared and his fist slammed into Zant's face. Stunned, the man felt himself falling to the ground. Then rolling several times, his body stopped moving, as he found himself lying near the edge of the platform.
Then standing up, the man coughed up blood, while his nose was broken. Not having had time to react, Zant had not even managed to understand what had just happened. Turning his gaze towards Tatsumi, he didn't understand how the boy had managed to transform when he no longer had the slightest strength.
"How did he do it?"
In response, Tatsumi roared again.
