The Power of Five

Chapter 25: The Story of the Sorcerer

As Green struggled to stand up, Ganondorf flicked another spear of darkness at him. Green quickly held his sword out and deflected the attack.

Green looked at his sword, "The force..Guys!! You gotta send your energy through the swords for the force to take effect!"

"Right!" The others got up to their feet and got ready to defend themselves.

Ganondorf darted at them as his swords appeared, held within his hands. He swung both his swords down at the Links but Blue and Shadow quickly stepped forward and blocked his attack. Ganondorf then quickly slashed his swords outwards, causing Blue and Shadows' swords to slip off position. He then slashed his swords in a cross infront of him, letting out a wave of dark energy, giving Blue and Shadow deep cuts in their chests as they got sent flying back to Green, on the ground.

Red and Vio then swung their swords at Ganondorf, who easily blocked their attacks. He repelled Reds' sword away while pushing Vios' harder and harder, back down on him. He then used a quick sword action to pin Vios' sword down to the ground, which caused him to fall back with it. Ganondorf then pressed his foot down on Vios' stomach to refrain him from getting up.

"Vio-kun!"

Blue, Green and Shadow were knelt on the ground, holding onto their chest wounds.

Red stepped to Ganondorf and swung his sword at him, "Yaaaah! Leave Vio alone!"

As Red came close, Ganondorf slashed his free sword at him. Red collapsed onto the ground as blood spilled from the gash given to his left side.

Blues' eyes widened, "Red-Chan!!"

"Heheheh.."

Ganondorf looked down at Red who was clutching onto his side in pain. His grin widened as he kicked Red in the stomach, causing him to cough out blood as he skidded on the ground, up to Blue.

"Red-Chan!" Blue rolled him to his back and rubbed his far shoulder.

Red opened his eyes to Blue as tears formed in his eyes from the pain and the failure, "I'm sorry.."

"You did what you could..It's not your fault.."

Ganondorf removed his foot from Vios' stomach as his sword disappeared from his right hand. He then grabbed ahold of Vios' forehead as he held him above the ground, his nails digging into Vios' skull.

"Vio..what on earth happened to your mother?" Ganondorf asked him.

"She died from an illness. Why the hell does it concern you?!"

"Because..I was the one who killed her!"

Vios' eyes widened and tears rolled down his face as Ganondorf dropped him to the ground. A vague memory of a bunch of flowers resting upon a grave on a grey, rainy day passed Vios' mind. Vio used his sword to stop him collapsing onto the ground.

"I swear.." Vio looked up to Ganondorf, his face enraged, "I swear on my mothers' grave, I will avenge her!"

Ganondorf smirked as he swung his sword down on him, but Vio quickly brought his sword up and blocked Ganondorfs' attack. Ganondorf then quickly brought his sword back and then stabbed Vio in his right shoulder. He lifted him into the air, and then slashed his sword, sending Vio flying to the ground near the others, also making the wound on his shoulder bigger.

"V-Vio-kun!"

Shadow watched in horror at Vio as he pushed himself up, off the ground, blood spurting out his wounds.

"We can't let these wounds get to us.." Vio turned his head to Shadow and smiled, "Not in this fight."

Shadows' eyes widened at these words being repeated back at him.

He then smiled and nodded, "Right!"

He used all his strength, but Red managed to sit up, ignoring the pain of his wounds, "We have to be strong! We can't be weak! Not here.."

"Red-Chan.." Blue then smirked, "We have to give it our all!"

"We can't give up.." Green whispered, his head bowed down to the ground.

"You still trying to put all your strength into this fight? I'd like to ask why.." Ganondorf began to ask, "We've never met, yet you have a grudge against me for something I never did to you. Isn't that true?"

"...Lie!" Green lifted his head to Ganondorf, his face full of anger, "You're the one who sent my mother away!" He got up to his feet, ignoring his wounds, "You're the one who forced her into sending Aryll and me away from her! You.." Tears began to gather in his eyes, "..you took away both her chances of being a mother!!"

"Hmmm?..Ah, so you're the son of that Jinketsu family.." Ganondorf said, "Those were the best times...The years when I was in reign..

Even at the beginning of my youth, I was certain of my goal. It was already held tight in my grasp.."

A very young Ganondorf stood within the burning rubble of what used to be a town, "My power's greater than any other! I'll rule it..I'll rule it all! Everything shall be mine!! Ahahahahaha!!"

"It all became easier and easer for me. I disrupted the legend of the Five Sword by stealing one of the 'heroes' for my own use. Then it was all in my reach! All I had to do was conquer Hyrule for my own, and I would be at the root of this worlds' power!

My plan began..I terrorized the whole town of Hyrule for the people there to understand who their future ruler would be. Many guards lost their lives of trying to defend the castle from me..but no-one was strong enough to stop me..except the Queen of Hyrule.

After gaining her trust, she did all the work for me as she put everyone under my rule. The deal was made; no-one would die as long as they kept to my orders.

But this wasn't the full power I wanted. Some were rebellious and tried to kill me themselves to be 'free' again."

Ganondorf was having a one-on-one sword fight with one of the Hyrule castle guards. He easily won as the man fell to the ground and Ganondorf threatened him at his neck.

"Didn't the Queen tell you to obey me?"

"Y..yes!"

"You know the new laws. Why the hell would you attack me if you value your life?"

Ganondorf began to bring his sword down to his neck until the man panicked and spilled out the truth.

"T-this wasn't my idea to kill you!"

"Hm?"

"The Queen..it was hers'-!"

Before he could say another word, Ganondorf stabbed his sword through the mans' neck and ended his life.

"That..bitch!" Ganondorf then ran into the castle, "I knew she couldn't be trusted!"

He ran up to the main room, instantly killing anyone in his way. As he burst through the door, he was stood right behind her as he stabbed the Queen right through her heart.

She fell dead to the ground as Ganondorf looked down to her and smirked. His smile widened as he noticed a 5 year-old Zelda standing further in the room, her eyes widened in total shock and fear.

"..M...Mummy!!" Zelda ran to her and tried to shake her by the shoulders, "Mummy! Wake up! Please, mummy!!"

Ganondorfs' smirk widened, "Your mother's dead now. What the hell are you going to do now? Ahahahahaha!!"

Zelda raised her head to Ganondorf, "I'll send you back to where you came from!!"

She then held her hands out to form the shape of a triangle. A bright light shone out from it and entirely covered the room.

Ganondorf covered his eyes with his sleeve, "Damn.."

He clicked his fingers and a dark spiral spun around him, teleporting him back to his castle of darkness.

"That damn princess had more power than I assumed. But, as limited as it is, I managed to escape from it. That was when Chibi Ganon and Shadow were ready to fight alongside me. I taught them of their full strength, while gaining more dark power for myself.

Now you 'five heroes' have emerged and are in my way. It's a shame I have to kill you too, Shadow. I was getting quite attached to you and your attitude."

The five of them had managed to stand up to their feet during Ganondorfs' story-telling.

Shadows' teeth began to clench, "I told you..that past isn't part of my life anymore!"

Ganondorfs' smile widened as he looked at Shadow, "But didn't you enjoy it?"

His eyes widened, "Wha-?!"

"I know you still remember being a shadow. During all your acts, you smiled and laughed through it all as your plans succeeded. Isn't that right?"

Shadow clearly remembered his memories of being a shadow; laughing when his evil plans were in action.

"This is hilarious! Hahahahaha! Nothing could get funnier than this!"

"R...right.."

"Shadow-Chan!?"

"There will always be that darkness in your heart that enjoyed that! Now.." Ganondorf reached his hand out as smoke-like darkness emerged from it and wrapped around the blade of Shadows' sword, "..Let me make that blade into a sword of darkness.."

His sword began to get pulled towards Ganondorf as Shadow stood his ground and pulled back.

Shadows' grip on it tightened, "No!"

At that, the light from the sword obliterated the darkness wrapped near it.

Ganondorf retracted the darkness left back into his hand, "Eh? But how the hell can you trust these low-levelled people after they destroyed you?!"

"Because.." Shadow started, "..they forgive me."

"What?!"

"We forgive him." Green stepped forward, "He's not the one to blame. You're the one who gave him all the false beliefs!"

"Well, then.." Ganondorf held his sword ready, "You're just asking for your own deaths. I will gain ultimate power of this world! I will kill you and send this world to ruin as the holders of the elements are sent to hell!!"

Ganondorf then immediately darted at the Links and swung his sword down at them. They quickly jumped out the way as the ground got shattered.

"W-what power!" Vio commented.

"He's gained total rage against us." Shadow explained, "Which means his strength has become immensely high!"

Ganondorf turned round and went to attack them again. He swung his sword down at them as they dodged the attack and another part of the ground became crumbled. Ganondorf was now stood in the middle of the room with the others stood around him.

"How the hell are we gonna beat him?!" Blue exclaimed, "Even if he gets wounded, he can heal himself!"

It was then that they remembered all the clues on how.

Chibi Ganons' head then fell forward as he turned into stone.

"Ganondorf cursed him with this crown.."

----- -----

"I'll have to hold you still!"

The vines wrapped around Chibi Ganons' wrists and ankles as they began to slither up his arms and legs.

----- -----

"You must hold onto the elements and use their powers to seal away Ganondorf."

"The elements!"

Vio reached his hands out and shot out thorned vines at Ganondorf. They wrapped around his body and limbs, causing him to refrain from moving.

Vio smirked, "Now you can't attack."

Red shot fire banners out of his hands which wrapped around Ganondorfs' legs, locking them still.

"Blue-kun! Green! Now!" Red yelled to them.

Blue threw water bullets at Ganondorf, which chilled into ice as Green blew cold wind at Blues' attacks.

"Thanks, Green!" Blue said.

The ice froze his feet and legs in place, totally refraining Ganondorf from moving any longer.

Shadow then threw a light kunai at Ganondorfs' crown. It just about cut the jewel in the middle which caused Ganondorf to yelp up in pain.

"You want me to die that badly, eh?" Ganondorf asked, "Who the hell are you fighting for?"

Green threw his sword-case away, "For my parents, for Zelda and everyone of Hyrule. For Jago, Tetra, Aryll and all the pirates sailing on the Great Seas. For Elne and everyone in that town. For everyone of Kumalon Village. For everyone of Outset Island. For the Killer Bees and everyone of Windfall Island. For Malon and everyone of Lon Lon Ranch. For Saria, Mido, Makar and everyone of Kokiri Forest."

Shadow threw his sword-case away, "For Chibi Ganon. For Doc Bandum and Blu Chu.."

Blue threw his sword-case away, "For Ralph and everyone of City Ishidukuri. For Quill.."

Red threw his sword case away, "For Medli, Komali and everyone of Dragon Roost Island. For Tingle and everyone of..wherever he came from..For Andréa and Azul."

Vio threw his sword-case away, "For Spec, Talin and everyone of Snow Peak. For Mr. Sen and everyone of Dock Town. For Becky-sama. For Miyu, Kota and everyone of Strong Will Island."

"For Forica!" They all exclaimed, "We fight for everyone of this world to live on!"

"Go!!" Green yelled out.

They all ran and jumped up at Ganondorf as they all aimed their swords down to his crown.

"Put all your energy into it!" Green exclaimed.

Ganondorf gave a final smirk as he looked up at Green who was in the air infront of him.

His final words to Green, "In return for my death, I will take away what keeps you strong."

There was a blinding flash as their swords pierced into his crown.
