Chapter 46
Absolute Inferno


The battle between the Hylian Army and Ganondorf's army of monsters raged on in the outskirts of Hyrule Castle, with the chosen heroes contributing in most of the firepower. Eventually, the Gorons, Ritos, Zoras, and Gerudos got news of what happened, and as they lived in close by areas, they were able to arrive in little time to give support in repelling the monsters.

All the while, Link and Guillotine continued to speed their way using the Master Cycle Zero to get to Ganondorf, who continued to watch the battle from his position above a cliff.

While the fight went on, Nihilister and Ganondorf's subordinate, Indivilia were engaged in their own battle that left them both looking tired. "You're good… You must be one of the chosen heroes prophesied to take down the Demon King," Indivilia said to the former.

"I don't give a crap about being a hero or whatnot! I just want to have fun, vent my anger, and destroy things, especially you!" Nihilister said to her angrily. "Thinking about what you did makes me angry all over again!"

"You speak like we have a history together. What is it, may I ask?" Indivilia asked her.

"Let's just say I'm making you bear the responsibilities of your twin where I come from!" replied Nihilister angrily before firing from her dragon cannons at her.

Indivilia held up her tail and formed a green force field that blocked and nullified the shots, but the shield itself also disappeared after getting hit. "They say the heroes would show up one day out of nowhere here in Hyrule, so am I correct to say that wherever you were previously, I have a doppelganger? Interesting! Assuming you both are enemies, then let me do her a favor of wiping you out!" said Indivilia as black smoke began forming and surrounding her until she could no longer be seen, and the smoke began to increase in mass as well.

"So she's going to transform, huh?" noted Nihilister. She backed away a bit as the smoke increased in size even more, and when it finally dissipated, a large mechanical scorpion was seen in place of where Indivilia once was. "Yep, same thing! Mind you; you're not the only one who can transform! Let me show you mines!"

After saying that, fire began to appear around Nihilister as her body began to distort and bend in ways that would make onlookers look disturbed. The fire increased in size as it covered her up entirely and swirled around for several seconds until there was an explosion. When the explosion cleared, there was a large mechanical dragon standing place of where Nihilister used to be and roared.

People and monsters who were fighting nearby saw what happened in awe and stopped what they were looking to watch the two mechanical monsters face off against each other.

After staring down at each other for a few seconds, Indivilia began the first move. Opening her pincers, she fired electrified blasts at Nihilister, blasting her in the face. Nihilister roared in anger and then in response, fired from her gatling guns located at the front sides of her body.

Indivilia took some shots to herself before jumping into the air at a fast speed towards Nihilister, landing on top of her with a powerful slam and then emitting electricity from all over her body to zap her. Nihilister roared in pain as she shook her body violently in an attempt to get her off.

Indivilia eventually fell off and then turned to Nihilister, rushing into her and ramming her body against her hard, even pushing her across the place. Then at point blank, the former fired a green beam out of her eyes, blasting Nihilister and blowing her backwards farther.

Nihilister turned to her and fired a barrage of missiles out of her back, raining them towards Nihilister. In response, Nihilister released spiked drones out the back of her pincers. The drones flew towards the incoming missiles, sacrificing themselves to destroy them and protect Indivilia.

Nihilister lunged at Indivilia after that and rammed into her. The latter skid back a bit of a distance as the former opened her mouth to breathe a large stream of fire. However, Indivilia leaped high into the air to avoid it and landed at the side. She fired from her pincers and also shot beams from her eyes at Nihilister nonstop, not giving her the chance to retaliate. As she was doing so, her tail charged up with electricity while swinging around, and once it was fully charged up, she hurled a large ball of electricity at Nihilister, blasting her and knocking her over.

Nihilister collapsed onto the ground, her body electrocuted and somewhat paralyzed, and all the while, Indivilia continued to shoot at her. This was brought to an end when Corrin in her dragon form suddenly landed on top of Indivilia hard, interrupting her. Indivilia tried to shake her off, but Corrin remained on top, stomping her with her pointy limbs.

As the two were engaged against each other, Nihilister recovered from her paralysis and then breathed fire at Indivilia. The scorpion mech took the full blunt of the fiery attack, while Corrin flew out of the way in time and landed next to Indivilia.

"I didn't need your help!" Nihilister angrily said to Corrin.

"We're allies, so we're in this together!" Corrin told her.

"I never saw any of you as allies! You're just annoyances that I'm stuck with until we get out of here!" replied the dragon Heretic.

"Okay, whatever you say," replied Corrin. If she was in her human form, she would be smiling.

"It doesn't matter if you have an ally, the both of you will die!" said Indivilia before firing at them. Nihilister fired from her gatling guns, while Corrin flew away to the side and breathed blue fire at the scorpion mech.

After Nihilister stopped firing, Corrin swooped down against Indivilia's side and rammed against her with her antlers. Mustering all her strength, Corrin tossed up her head to amazingly throw Indivilia into the air, and while the latter was in the air, she released a large waterspout from her mouth that sent Indivilia for a spin.

Indivilia soon crashed back down onto the ground, damaged from the waterspout that had the same power as a high pressure water cutter. Nihilister charged at her and bite down on her right pincer hard. The two struggled against each other for a while until with a yank of her head, Nihilister ripped off that pincer. Indivilia backed away in shock, only to receive a blast of fire to her face by the Heretic and pushed back in flames.

After Indivilia was pushed back by the flames, Corrin flew towards her and transformed back into her human form midair, unsheathing her sword, the Yato, in the process. With a loud cry, she fell towards her tail with her sword pulled back, intending to cut it. In response, Indivilia swung her tail at her, successfully in knocking her out of the air and violently onto the ground.

Corrin got back up, grunting in pain, despite the powerful blow. She watched with a smirk as the tip of the tail, which looked like nothing happened at first, was severed and fell down to the ground, much to Indivilia's shock.

Nihilister closed in on Indivilia after that, biting her and also attacking her with her front legs, occasionally breathing fire into her face and attacking her with other kinds of projectile attacks. Indivilia took several blows to her body before backing away from the two.

"How dare you?! I'll show you my true power!" she said loudly in anger before digging into the ground at a fast speed and disappearing from their sight.

"She's getting away!" said Corrin.

"No, she's entering her second form," explained Nihilister.

The ground suddenly burst open, and a large indescribable head covered in spikes came out, attached to a long neck that waved around slowly nonstop.

BGM: Absolute Maker (Goddess of Victory: Nikke)

"Die!" shouted Indivilia in her new form as she fired multiple laser beams at them. Nihilister was blasted by them, while Corrin hurriedly changed into her dragon form and flew out of harm's way.

"You're not the only one who has a second form!" Nihilister told her before fire surrounded her body until she was fully covered up. When the fire dissipated, she was seen sporting two heads and a pair of wings that she used to take off into the air.

With her two heads, Nihilister breathed two streams of fire at Indivilia, who fought back by firing a large blast of electricity that collided with her attack and pushed against it. The two "beam attacks" pushed back and forth for a while until eventually Indivilia fired the various spikes on her body at Nihilister, hitting her and halting her attack, therefore resulting in her getting hit by the electric blast and getting blown back through the air.

Corrin, in the air, released a stream of blue fire at Indivilia, hitting her in the side. Indivilia took a direct her before turning to her and firing electricity at her, but Corrin speedily flew out of the way while still blasting her with blue fire.

She eventually landed on top of Indivilia with a strong force, pushing her down a bit, and breathed fire at her head at point blank. Indivilia let out a mechanical cry of anger as she emitted electricity all over her body that repelled Corrin into the air, and then she let loose electric bolts that shot straight up, zapping her. Indivilia then swung herself at Corrin, knocking her onto the ground.

By this time, Nihilister had gotten back up and flew straight into Indivilia, getting her in any part her teeth could sink into and gnashing hard. The two mechanical beasts struggled at close range violently, neither side relenting.

Eventually, Indivilia emitted powerful electricity that caused Nihilister to let go, and then the former gave her a powerful headbutt that smashed her onto the ground. Nihilister repeated the process, hitting her from above over and over with electrified headbutts.

Corrin changed back into her human form and fell towards Indivilia while the latter was still doing this and plunged her sword into the top of her head. The latter let out a cry of pain as she shook her head violently until Corrin fell off, but she changed into her dragon form before she hit the ground and remained in air.

Taking a deep breath, Corrin let out a roar as well as releasing a large waterspout from her mouth that completely engulfed Indivilia. At the same time, Nihilister released a large stream of fire at her, overwhelming her with a combination of fire and water.

Indivilia was bombarded constantly by their attacks, and she eventually retaliated by launching bolts of electricity into the air that rained down as lightning bolts. Both Nihilister and Corrin were struck by them, but Corrin suffered the most damage.

After Corrin took the blow from the lightning bolt, Indivilia swung into her, knocking her onto the ground. The Heretic then fired several spikes in her direction, but before they hit her, Nihilister flew in between the spikes and Corrin and used her body as a shield against the spikes, enduring the pain.

Nihilister then fired several missiles at Indivilia, damaging her and covering her in a mass of smoke. Taking advantage of her being blinded by the smoke, Nihilister flew at Indivilia and bit her with both her heads, releasing fire while doing so to do critical damage to her as she swung around violently to get the mecha dragon off.

Corrin got back up and took off towards Indivilia's swinging neck. As she drew close to it, she changed back into her human form and pulled back the Yato, which started functioning like a chainsaw. Hacking and slashing several times, Corrin managed to slice the neck into pieces, leaving only the head. Nihilister carried the head higher into the air before flinging it away.

Indivilia hit the ground and tumbled along it roughly for a few seconds before coming to a stop, and then black smoke covered all over her, changing her back into her humanoid form. She stood up, grunting in pain and her legs wobbling nonstop. Looking ahead, she saw Corrin running towards her with the Yato in her hand, letting out a cry as she drew closer to her.

Acting fast, Indivilia brought her tail in front of herself as Corrin leaped at her with the chainsaw-like sword in her hand, and the dragon girl swung it down diagonally at her.

SLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASH!

Corrin landed in front of Indivilia, who had her eyes widened in shock. At first, nothing happened, but then Indivilia's body split apart in two diagonally in the chest area, and blood, or at least blood-like liquid splashed all over the place as the both halves collapsed onto the ground, their interiors showing mechanical components such as wires and tubes.

BGM Ends

Corrin sighed with relief while backing away, wiping away the red liquid that got onto her. "We… We did it…!" she said.

Nihilister, still in her two-headed dragon form, hovered above her and said in annoyance, "She was mine to kill!"

"Yeah, sorry about that… But we should be glad it's over regardless," said Corrin, looking up at her. She then looked around herself and saw that quite a number of monsters were surrounding her. "Or not…"

"I'll overlook you taking my prey… as long as you let me have all the fun from now on!" said Nihilister before breathing fire at the monsters, wiping out a large number of them.

Watching Nihilister slaying the monsters, Corrin said, "Suit yourself..."


Link and Guillotine continued on their way to the Demon King using the Master Cycle Zero, ignoring the monsters that were around them and escaping from them. However, a Lynel managed to get a hit on them, charging in from the side and ramming into the bike to make the two fly off and hit the ground.

Guillotine sat up from the rough tumbling and watched as the Lynel approached Link, who stood up with a sword to face it. Guillotine looked around for her sword and found it, but when she picked it up, she saw that it was the Master Sword instead. Looking back at Link more carefully, she saw that he was fighting using her Light Brand.

Guillotine looked behind herself and saw Ganondorf standing not too far away, and then she looked back at Link, who was fighting the Lynel. "You go on ahead, Guillotine!" Link called out to her while clashing his weapon against the centaur-like monster. "I'll catch up after I'm done!"

"You don't need my help?" Guillotine asked him.

"I can handle my own! I've fought armies myself and won before, so this is nothing new!" Link assured her. "You go ahead and get to Ganondorf! I'll head over later!"

Seeing that Link was able to hold his own against the monster, Guillotine nodded before turning and running towards Ganondorf with the Master Sword in her hand.

As Link continued to fight the Lynel, he saw some more monsters approaching them. "This is going to take a while…" he thought nervously.

Guillotine went up to the Demon King, who looked down at her and said, "And you are?"

Getting into a fighting stance, Guillotine replied, "The One-Winged Dark Lord who will bring an end to you!"
