Fan Fiction ❯ The Dark Cloud Over Hyrule ❯ The Battle Begins ( Chapter 5 )

When Link opened the door he found an empty room. Both Ganondorf and Zelda were missing.

"What the?! Where is Ganondorf? And what happened to Zelda?" He said to himself.

Link took another step into the room, moving his head from side to side, checking once again just in case he missed something. Link would take another step into the room when suddenly a large piece of the ceiling dropped and hit the ground a few feet away from Link, as the door behind him slammed shut. Link looked at the chunk of ceiling and then to the door, knowing now that Ganondorf was still here. A few seconds later another piece of the ceiling fell as the room started shaking and the ceiling started to come apart. Walls began to crack and so did the floor below him as the walls around him began to collapse.

"Get out here Ganondorf!" Link yelled.

Just as Link said that Ganondorf floated down through one of the holes in the ceiling and looked Link in the eyes with his arms crossed and a large smile on his face.

"So you've returned." Ganondorf said.

"…"

"You should have ran while you had the chance! Now you must die!" Ganondorf yelled and released a wave of energy that made the floor below Link fall apart like the ceiling did.

Link fell down to the floor of the room below the one he was currently in, holding his shield above his face so he could block most of the rocks that buried him.

"I expected a better fight from you." Ganondorf said with a light smile on his face.

One of the rocks that formed the pile that buried Link would move slowly, then fall and roll from the top, into the ground, as Link would emerge with a few scratches on his body and rips in his tunic.

"Is that all you got?" Link said softly.

"No." Ganondorf replied, sending another strong energy wave toward Link, which destroyed the ground below him once again.

Link fell again, and held up his shield again as the rocks that once comprised a floor buried him, piece by piece.

"You're not so tough now, are you?" Ganondorf said triumphantly.

Ganondorf, floating above the castle, focused his energy for a moment, them extended his arms and sent out a tremendous energy wave that shook the castle itself, and the ground below. The energy wave was so powerful that the castle itself started to fall apart, wall after wall, floor after floor, the pieces fell apart, some on top the pile that buried Link. With a simple wave of Ganondorf's hand, 10 energy beams were sent crashing into the rubble, exploding on impact, and causing severe damage to the area, and Link. Ganondorf slowly floated to the ground and land, square on both feet as he laughed, looking at the display of his awesome power. As Ganondorf laughed a small, beat up arm shot up from one of the piles of rubble, followed by Link, who was scratched up with many cuts on his tunic, except for his hood, which was in perfect condition (except for the dirt). Ganondorf would dash towards Link, pulling back his fist on the way there, and pushing it forward when he was in front of him, sending his fist slamming into Link's face, causing Link's nose to bleed and for him to fall back. From there, Ganondorf picked Link up from the ground, by his collar, and threw him to the right, making Link hit the ground and roll across the sharp and odd-shaped rubble. Link would slowly get up, and with lightning fast reflexes he would whip out his Hookshot and fire it directly at Ganondorf's head. The Hookshot stopped before it reached Ganondorf's face, not because it ran out of chain, but because Ganondorf possessed much greater powers then before. Ganondorf, with his mind, broke one of the chains, which was on the Hookshot, making it useless. Link threw the useless Hookshot aside and withdrew his sword and shield like a true warrior.
