"Better enjoy your last chance to fly!" Link said as he rode off. Zelda nodded and flew beside the train. For whatever reason there were no monsters on the tracks, and the animals were too scared. If this hadn't been the case Link would have probably paid for staring at Zelda so much. We're almost done Zelda…I WILL get you your body back. Link watched Zelda fly, her hair rippled in the breeze. And maybe…we can still be friends. Zelda twirled in the air and waved at Link. Or more... Link continued watching Zelda, not even caring that she could see him watching her. Not even noticing the dreamy look that came on Zelda's face as she stared at him. They went through a cave and Zelda gave a gasp. Several large bugs were here, they were much smaller than the big eyed bug though. Link blasted these away and turned back to Zelda who was now looking ahead.
"Link! Look in front! IN FRONT!" Zelda cried. Link looked ahead and gasped. There was a large stone mountain. It had a large temple, which housed one thing: A black and green portal.
"Who knew this was so close to home?" Link said. Link drove closer and closer to the mountain, almost at the portal.
"Listen, Princess Zelda and Link…the two of you must gather your courage and proceed!" Anjean said. Link and Zelda nodded. Then the train entered the portal.
They were in a different world completely. The world was black, blue, and purple. There was no ground. But the Spirit Tracks were here too. They were much more powerful here. The train went faster than ever and Link saw with a surprise that the rail map was now a map of this world. There were six of the armored Dark Trains here as well as what looked like Tears of Light. The train ran into one of these and glowed gold. "The Tears of Light will give us invincibility for a little bit." Anjean said. Link nodded. "Now pull your whistle." Link pulled it and the train went twenty times faster. They crashed into one of the armored Dark Trains and it exploded. The Spirit Train was unharmed. However the tear didn't last long. It left the train and went back to where it originated. Link looked at the map. There were five more trains on it and eight tears in all. One train seemed to be on a set of tracks all its own. There were also portals. One would lead here no doubt. Link made a route to the nearest Tear of Light and set a route in which he could beat two of the trains and get the tears without losing his power.
"We've got three left! Let's get the rest!" Zelda said as these trains fell to Link.
Link made his way to one of the portals, hoping it would take him to the next train on its own tracks. Unfortunately the powers of the tear wore off now. Link appeared on a small set of tracks that led to another portal. In the middle of these was a tear. The Spirit Train touched it and glowed golden. Link rode into the next portal and saw the lone train. Link rode right into it and quickly took a portal out. He was now on a set of tracks with one tear on it and two trains. Link pulled the whistle but was too far from the other trains. The power wore off and the other trains were closing in on him. Link was in between them…
BOOM! There was an explosion as Link grabbed the Tear of Light and stopped. Both trains blew up on contact with Link. All the portals disappeared and the rails rearranged themselves so they were facing a giant orb or dark energy. There were four rails, all led one way. Link followed these and Zelda came from the passenger cart and stood next to him. "Cole is somewhere up ahead in the dark." Zelda said placing her hand on Link's shoulder, trying to comfort him. "You're the only one who can stop his rampage." Link was starting to feel a little sick. "You'll be an engineering legend if you pull it off!" Zelda said encouragingly.
"Yeah…" Link said staring up ahead. Suddenly a green and black portal came out of nowhere and the Demon Train was on the tracks with Link. It looked even huger up close and covered two sets of tracks, it was next to Link. As Link drove next to it, he understood why Cole needed it. The tracks the Demon Train touched would disappear after a few seconds. Cole used this train to get rid of the Spirit Tracks. The train opened one of its two passenger cars and sent a bomb barrel out. Link blew this up before it hit him. The train unloaded another, Link shot the barrel before it was unloaded and there was an explosion as a little bit of the passenger car blew off. Link did this again as the train opened the car. "Watch out!" Zelda cried as the train roared and moved on the same tracks Link did. Link slowed down the train as much as he could without falling off the tracks. He didn't want to hit the Demon Train. Link saw a crossover on the tracks and took it. He and the Demon Train were on different tracks now. It opened the passenger car again and Link shot two more barrels inside. The train roared and changed tracks again. It wasn't on Links tracks though. It opened the passenger cart which was very exposed and Link saw a barrel next to a bunch of others and shot it. There were many explosions and the passenger car fell off the Demon Train. The Demon Train roared and made a green and black portal appear. Link followed it in the portal and they were on a set of identical tracks. Link approached the next passenger cart which opened and revealed a laser which shot at Link. Link shot back at it with his cannon. The laser was destroyed. It opened another hatch and showed another laser, Link only hit it once. Another laser appeared and Link hit it. The train roared and changed tracks. Link made sure it wasn't on the same tracks as him. The train opened the passenger car door and another laser popped out. Link destroyed with a cannon and switched tracks to avoid a ball of strange fire in front of the ones he was on. Another laser appeared and Link shot it twice. It was destroyed. The train roared and switched tracks once more. It was on the same as Link. Link slowed down the train again and waited for an opportunity to switch tracks. When it came, Link did so and the Demon Train opened up the lasers again. Link shot the final laser and there were a series of explosions. The last passenger car fell off and another portal was created. Link followed the Demon Train in this and went for its head this time. Lasers shot from the side of it this time and Link destroyed them with the cannon. The train roared in pain and was slowing down. Link went faster up ahead of it. Link then shot the Demon Trains face with his cannon. The train roared and sped up. It shot lasers at Link, which Link hit with the cannon, but got hit once. When all the lasers were hit the train slowed down again and Link sped up. Link shot the face again, but this time instead of just speeding up, the Demon Train switched tracks. It was right behind Link, charging at him. Link desperately hit it with cannons, the train roared and roared. Link changed tracks at the last possible minute and shot in again it the face. The Demon Train gave a final roared and then started slowing down…slower…slower…and it stopped. Link stopped next to it and entered the passenger car of his train to inform Anjean.
"This is it." Anjean said when Link told her of the situation. There was a tense atmosphere in the air at these words. Link glanced at Zelda who nodded solemnly. "Once we defeat Malladus, all of this can end. I shall accompany you from here on out. It's too dangerous for just the two of you." Byrne made a strangled gasping noise at this.
"But your wounds from our battle are still fresh." He reminded her "And what's to come will be very demanding. It's my turn now, master. It's…the least I can do." Byrne said with another gasp. Link and Zelda looked at each other sadly. Neither one of them wanted the Lokomo to accompany them. They were weak now and likely to die. Suddenly they gave each other an understanding smile and Zelda turned to Anjean.
"Yes, Anjean, it's time for you to rest." Zelda said "Link and I can take care of them. After all, it's just Malladus and Cole. It'll be a piece of cake." Zelda turned to Byrne and added "You should stay behind too, Byrne. You're both too injured to help us now." Byrne glared at Zelda when she said this. In his opinion the two of them were being cocky little brats. Anjean stared in wonder, and then gave a sigh and smile.
"As you wish, my dear." Anjean said "It's up to you two, then, Link and Zelda." Even now, when they were about to fight for their lives, the two of them couldn't help but enjoy hearing the words "Link and Zelda." But both drove this from their minds immediately. "May the spirits be with you." Anjean said and turned around and summoned a Phantom. It wasn't moving for some reason. Link knew what this meant…Zelda was going to fight. "I can do no more. You must go forth on your own." Anjean said.
"Thank you for everything, Anjean. It's time for us to go, Link." Zelda said with a smile on her face. Link was no longer smiling. Now he was scared. He hadn't intended for Zelda to actually fight. He stared at Zelda worriedly. She may not die…but she could get hurt out there. Link didn't say anything though. He knew his word would make no difference. They had just told them that Malladus would be easy. There's no way Zelda would be backing down after that. Link and Zelda approached the Phantom but before Link made it Zelda said "Oh, but one last thing before we go." And she settled herself in front of Link. "Once we put all of this ugliness behind us, we'll both resume our normal lives."
"Yeah…" Link said
"When that happens, what are you going to do? What will you become?" Link thought for a moment and then said
"I'm not sure…" he was thinking of a job that would get him close to Zelda. But as princess she needed both warriors and royal engineers, so it was hard to pick.
"I see…" Zelda said giving him a small smile. "Well, I think we can go now, Link." Link nodded and Zelda possessed the Phantom. The two of them left the train and Anjean smiled as she watched them go.
"Her ancestors would be proud of her." Anjean said. Byrne said nothing but just stared where they had left.
Link and Zelda were climbing the Demon Train. Zelda helped Link up and they stared. On the train was Cole, his back was to them.
"You've gone far enough Cole. This is where it ends." Zelda said. Cole sighed
"You again…" Cole muttered "The Demon King's return is nigh, you know. Yet, here you are, making a nuisance of yourselves!" Cole turned around and faced the two, his eyes bulging wildly. "You insolent little fools! It's time you received the punishment you deserve!" Suddenly the Demon Train started moving. It hadn't been stopped after all. Link and Zelda stared the Spirit Train which they were now moving away from. It was an ominous sight. "Your Majesty! Your resurrection is complete! Please use your power to destroy these two" Cole cried. Floating above him was Zelda…possessed by Malladus. Malladus openED his red eyes and glared at them. He floated to the top of the train and stood next to Cole.
"This is it, Link!" Zelda said clenching her fist. Link gulped, he had been too late again. He would have to fight a completely revived Malladus and win, something even the spirits of good couldn't do.
Malladus stood at the opposite end of the train, Cole dancing the air next to him. He vanished and in the next second appeared before Link and Zelda. Link ignored him and aimed the Bow of Light at Malladus. Malladus conjured up a red barrier and easily blocked the arrow.
"Looks like t it won't be that easy, Zelda." Link said.
"I'll help!" Zelda said, and together they rushed at Malladus. However Cole gave an evil cackle and snapped his fingers. Zelda was surrounded by four white rats, all of which were closing in on her. Zelda screamed and cowered at the rats. Cole knew her well enough to know this would stop her. Link killed the rats and Zelda continued heading to Malladus with Link. Cole snapped his fingers only five seconds later and more rats appeared. Link killed three of them but the fourth got Zelda. She suddenly turned around and slashed at Link. Link barely dodged the sword and saw Cole behind her, controlling her with puppet strings. "You have to get away, Link!" Zelda cried. Link shook his head and backed up. He took out his boomerang and sent it at the strings. Zelda was free. "Thanks, Link!" Zelda said as she started recovering the ground they had lost due to her being controlled by Cole. Cole sent more rats and Link killed them all this time. Link suddenly got blasted by a red laser shot by Malladus. "Link, hide behind me!" Zelda said. Link nodded and let Zelda lead. Cole sent out some more rats but since they circled Zelda, they were destroyed by Malladus' laser. Cole sighed and did a different tactic. He sent rats one by one at Zelda's back. Link killed them all while Zelda pressed herself towards Malladus whose laser did not affect her. Link charged the Bow of Light then quickly got out from behind Zelda and shot it. Malladus had incredible reflexes though and merely stopped his laser for a second and blocked it with is barrier again with ease. "I'll hold him down!" Zelda said, still moving closer. Cole kept on sending rats, every time one squeaked Zelda would shiver.
"Don't look, Zelda! I swear I won't let another one hit you!" Link said. The top of the train began moving back and forth, making it harder for Zelda to walk. Link kept on killing the rats that approached. Zelda moved slower and slower as she approached, the lasers strength becoming less bearable as she got closer. Zelda began grunting she got closer. The laser was hurting her now, it seemed like Malladus was strong enough to even hurt a Phantom. But Zelda didn't give up, she continued moving onward. Finally she grabbed Malladus and held him. Malladus floated in the air, Zelda's Phantom strength helped her but Malladus looked like he was over powering her. Zelda and Malladus twirled in the air as they struggled. Cole floated near his master crying out and yelling, clearly worried.
"Shoot Malladus with the Bow of Light now!" Zelda cried. Link took out the Bow and aimed. Link shot at Malladus but missed. It was a very hard target, it moved back and forth at random times and twirled and there were moments when he couldn't hit Malladus at all. There was also the fact that Link's arms were shaking with the idea of shooting Zelda with the Bow of Light. He knew it was to help her and wouldn't damage her body at all. But Link was worried that if it didn't work, it would be he who put the arrow on Zelda's body that made it impossible for her to reenter it. Still Zelda's strength couldn't last forever and it seemed like Malladus was beginning to overpower her. Link aimed and shot again. It hit Malladus in the chest and he gave a yell of pain. A small ball of light engulfed him and soon he was back on the train, desperately trying to free himself from Zelda's grasp. It almost looked like Malladus would explode. The Demon Train went wild as well, its movements were shakier and it went a lot faster.
"Your majesty…" Cole whimpered and flew away in fear as the light grew bigger. Link looked worriedly at Zelda, who was still holding Malladus.
"You won't escape this time, Malladus!" Zelda cried.
"RELEASE ME!" Malladus roared in a voice that sounded far too manly and evil to belong to Zelda.
"Link! Be careful!" Zelda cried, for Link was slowly approaching the two. "Don't worry about me! Just get away from Malladus!" Link stared for a bit, then gulped and ran as fast as he could to Zelda, he felt like he had to help her. Malladus gave another roar and so did the Demon Train, suddenly it rose into the sky and exploded. Link knew no more.
"…Link! Link! Please open your eyes, Link!" Link gave a small groan and opened his eyes. He was somewhere in Hyrule, lying on his stomach. There were bits of the Demon Train all over the place. Next to him was Zelda, she was no longer a Phantom, but in her spirit form. Her hand was on his back and she had a worried look on her face. Link smiled, it was comforting to see Zelda. Link tried to get up but gave a gasp of pain. "Oh no…" Zelda whispered. Suddenly Zelda turned and gave a small gasp. Link followed her gaze and saw Malladus in Zelda's body. He had a pained look on his face. Suddenly Zelda's body's face went black and Malladus' spirit was pushed several feet from her body. Malladus' spirit wasn't like Zelda's. It didn't have a real shape, it looked a bit like a skull, but that wasn't quite what it was. It was light blue and had the same eyes Malladus had when he possessed Zelda. Zelda's body remained in the air, and Zelda stared at it with her mouth hanging open.
"Get it…" Link whispered. "I did this for a reason…!" Zelda nodded and flew to her body, passing Cole who had just gotten conscious…and passed through it. She was still a spirit and her body was still floating unpossessed. Zelda gave a gasp and flew through her body several more times. She gave a sob as she passed through it the third time and didn't enter. No…no, no….NO! I didn't do this all with Link for nothing!
"Stop!" Cole cried "That vessel belongs to his majesty!" Cole turned to face Malladus "Hurry, Your Majesty! You must hurry back to Zelda's body!" Cole cried. Malladus roared and flew full speed to Zelda's body.
"Why…why isn't this working?" Zelda cried. She turned and screamed as Malladus made for her body and to attack her. But Malladus couldn't reach it; he had hit his head on some sort of purple barrier. Zelda turned and saw Byrne, kneeling next to Link and using his flesh hand to conjure the barrier.
"You cannot give up now!" Byrne cried "Your body has the sacred power of the spirits! Now concentrate on reclaiming it!" Zelda stared wide eyed at Byrne. "After all…" Byrne gasped "Didn't you say you wanted to have words with me?" Zelda continued staring for a moment then turned to her body, hoping desperately that this would work. Zelda closed her eyes and thought If there really is a sacred power in my body…please let it here me!
"Tetra, please give me your blessing…" Zelda whispered as she floated to her body.
Suddenly Zelda's eyes opened and she was screaming and falling. Unlike Malladus she had no clue how to make her body fly.
"Go now! Right now!" Byrne cried. Link stared for a moment then gasped and suddenly found new strength and the ability to not only walk, but run. Link ran below Zelda and held his arms out wide. Zelda fell straight into Link's face and Link gave a soft groan. He was on the ground, Zelda on top of him. Zelda groaned too, then realized she was sore, which meant she could feel pain, which meant she had a body.
"Mmmhh….am I…back?" Zelda asked aloud.
Zelda cave a cry of relief when she saw herself and turned around to hug Link who was blushing at the feel of her body.
Thank you, Link! Thank you! I love you!
She's so warm and soft…
Suddenly a yell of pain brought Link in Zelda back to their senses and Link gently pushed Zelda off and saw Byrne. He was the one screaming in pain. Malladus was attacking Byrne with some type of black lightening. Byrne gasped and cried in pain then turned to face Link and Zelda. Perhaps it was their imagination, and there was no way to tell because of his bandana…but he seemed to be smiling. Byrne gave a small chuckle and exploded. Zelda cried out that this. Cole was crying too, but not out of sadness, out of laughter. He yelled and cheered
"Bravo, Your Majesty! Bravo!" then he turned and faced Link and Zelda with a wicked grin on his face. "But time is short, Your Majesty. Please do away with the boy and capture Zelda." Cole turned behind him and saw Malladus. Malladus had a look on his face that seemed annoyed, yet also full of lust and greed. "…Your Majesty?" Cole still didn't understand what was going on, but Link knew. It was the end of Cole. Cole soon realized this and cried "Please, no!" but Malladus ignored this and swallowed Cole. Link had never hated anyone in his life more than he hated Cole but he couldn't help but feel pity as he saw Cole get eaten. He may have been a traitor, and he may have been evil, but he had a lot of devotion to Malladus…and possibly even loved him. Now he was betrayed. A blue and black vortex appeared around Malladus, as he possessed Cole. But when he was visible, he looked nothing like Cole.
Cole had been short and human looking. Malladus was a large twenty foot beast. He didn't look human at all; he looked more like a warthog. His hair was longer than Coles, but he had the same red mustache. He wore tattered red shorts, the same Cole had worn. And his tail was pointed like a devil's. He also had very large horns and his body was light blue like his spirit.
"This vessel…is…rejecting my spirit." Malladus said "I'm…slipping from it…I can't hold on for long….But the world will crumble in the time I have left!" Malladus roared. Zelda turned to face him, tears flying from her eyes. She knew that if she continued to mourn for Byrne now she would lose Link too.
"Come on, Link! Let's settle this once and for all!" Zelda yelled. Link nodded, feeling that strength course through him and pulled out his sword. The two turned and faced the Demon King. Zelda looked like she was doing some serious thinking. She turned to Link "Link! I'm going to concentrate on channeling my power! While I do that, please protect me from Malladus!" Link nodded and faced Malladus. Malladus roared and studied Link for awhile. Zelda closed her eyes and light began gathering around her. Malladus breathed a fire ball at Zelda; Link deflected it away with his sword. Malladus breathed another and Link deflected this as well. Malladus paused for a moment and then breathed two more consecutive fire balls. Link deflected both away. Zelda peaked from time to time; it was very scary just standing still. Malladus sent three more fire balls and Link deflected them all once again. Then after a small pause Malladus sent a fire ball to Zelda's right, it changed directions when it was level with Zelda and went straight at her. Link gasped, he had not been expecting this. Link deflected it and turned to his left and saw another one was already going for Zelda's left in the same way. Zelda peaked and looked worriedly at the fire ball. Link dived in front of it. He got hit in the stomach but he managed to protect Zelda. Zelda gave a small cry but closed her eyes again, she couldn't distract herself, she had to do this now or Link was doomed. Malladus jumped to the side and sent two more fireballs. Link got up just in time to deflect both. Malladus jumped in the middle again and gave a roar. Four fireballs from all sides came directly at Zelda. Link rushed to her and preformed a spin attack which just barely deflected all the boulders. Malladus sent two more fire balls; Link deflected the first but had to use his body to stop the second. Zelda was definitely getting her power. There was a brightness all around her. Malladus sent two more fireballs going from each side. Link was better prepared now and stopped them both at once before they separated. Malladus jumped to a side and began firing more fire balls. Malladus shot six fire balls in a row then jumped to middle. Link was feeling tired, he dearly hoped Zelda was almost done. Malladus gave a roar and sent two waves of four fireballs at Zelda. Link used the spin attack wildly and deflected them all, but he became very dizzy as well and fell to the ground. There was a sudden flash and Zelda opened her eyes. Light was coming from her and she was now golden.
"Thank you for protecting me! I'm ready now, Link!" Zelda said. Link nodded, having no clue what she meant. "Let's combine my sacred power with the power of the Spirit Flute! I think we can use them to weaken Malladus!" Link stared wide eyed at Zelda. Did she really expect them to play a duet in the middle of a fight with Malladus? How could they do that? Suddenly there was a white flash and Link found himself in a different realm, it was a realm of light. Zelda stood next to him, she was no longer golden but light still came from her. "This is it. Just follow along with me, Link!" Zelda said. Link nodded and took out the Spirit Flute. Zelda waited for a moment, and then began to sing. She has such a beautiful voice… Link copied the sounds she made on the flute. Link knew this was to be his part. It was a five note song, after Zelda introduced it they began to play. It was the hardest yet, for Link had to skip two notes this time, but it was also the most beautiful. Link and Zelda would occasionally peak at each other as they played, and soon they heard other sounds, it sounded as though the Lokomo had joined in. They could see visions of them all, they played and played, and then they were back in Hyrule.
Zelda's body glowed again, then all the light from her went to Malladus, a symbol appeared on his back and Malladus roared. Zelda took the Bow of Light. "Link, distract Malladus. When I see an opportunity I will shoot him in the back with the Bow of Light!" Zelda said "This is the last battle, so let's make it count!" Link nodded and they stared determinedly at Malladus. Link rushed at Malladus' side and began to stab him. Malladus roared and faced Link. Link ran away and Malladus chased him. Zelda shot an arrow at Malladus and he gave a roar of pain. Link slashed at Malladus again to keep him from turning around and kept Malladus focused on himself. Zelda shot again and this time Malladus whirled around. Malladus charged at Zelda who ran as fast as she could in high heels to escape. Link used three spin attacks on Malladus' back legs and Malladus turned around again. Zelda shot an arrow at him once more. Malladus stood on his hind legs for a moment and fell to the ground. A red crystal appeared on his forehead.
"Now, Link! Give him your worst!" Zelda cried. Link nodded and slashed and hacked at Malladus. Link tore a horn off of him with the force of the sword. Malladus smacked Link away with the other horn and the crystal disappeared. Malladus sent several fire balls at Link, which were deflected. Link attacked Malladus to his right a little bit and Malladus turned to face him. He was hit once again by Zelda and whirled around to face her. Link desperately used many spin attacks on his back legs again. Link was dizzy and Malladus spun around with great speed and swatted Link away with his remaining horn. Link flew five feet away but rushed back. Zelda sent another arrow at Malladus. Malladus roared and Link slashed his front legs to keep him focused on him. Zelda sent another arrow, this one missed and Malladus turned around to face her. Link ran in front of Zelda and began slashing and hacking at Malladus, Malladus's eyes focused on Link and Link lured him away. Zelda shot another arrow and Malladus's back and he fell to the floor again. Link stabbed at him with his sword several times and the other horn came off. Malladus head butted Link and sent him flying. Malladus sent more fireballs at Link, which Link avoided. Malladus turned to face Zelda again.
"C'mon Malladus, you coward, over here!" Link cried slashing at Malladus' tummy. Malladus turned around which was a mistake. He got hit by Zelda's arrow and fell to the ground attack. Link sank his blade into the crystal that appeared on Malladus' face. Link pushed against Malladus, trying to get the blade in deeper. Malladus pushed at Link, trying to smash him into the ground.
"I'll be right there. Hold on!" Zelda cried. She soon joined Link and help push Link's sword against Malladus. Link felt doomed, they were two children and this was a large demon. But he couldn't give up. I have to try…for Zelda. "We're almost done with this!" Zelda encouraged. "Come on, almost there!" They continued pushing and pushing. "Just one last push!" Zelda yelled and looked Link in the eyes for a moment. Together the two mustered up the last of their strength and with yell of effort, pushed on the crystal. Suddenly Malladus stopped. A light breeze came…and the crystal exploded. Malladus stood on his hind legs and gave a roar of pain. Suddenly his body glowed white and he exploded in light. Malladus and Cole were gone.
It was sunset now and the two were looking at the spot where Malladus had disappeared.
"So it's all over now." Zelda said. "But…" she stared at Link sadly. Both were thinking of Byrne. Link walked over and was about to pat her on the back and say something comforting when he gave a small gasp of surprise. Anjean was there. Zelda looked at her sadly.
"We were too late." Anjean said.
"Oh, Anjean…" Zelda said "I'm so sorry. Byrne was trying to protect me…" Anjean nodded and sighed.
"Yes, but there should be no regrets." She said "He wouldn't have had it any other way. Besides, our kind are servants of the spirits. We don't disappear that easily" Anjean said rolling a little ways away. Link and Zelda watched as Anjean put her hands in the air and summoned some strange blue energy that condensed itself into a ball. Zelda then asked what they were both thinking.
"What do you mean?" Anjean gave her a small smile.
"The spirit is persistent, my dear." Anjean said and suddenly Link understood, the blue ball was Byrne's spirit. "Byrne may not have any memory of these events, but later, he'll return in a new form." Link and Zelda stared "You see as Lokomo…we weren't only meant to protect the Spirit Tracks. We were also meant to watch over mankind. But our protection is no longer needed." Anjean said with a laugh. "Even without the spirits' guidance, you will do well. So I think I will return to the heavens…in the company of my good friend, Byrne…" Anjean floated out of her wheels into the air.
"Anjean, wait!" Zelda said. She didn't want to lose her too.
"Please watch over this land, my dear." Anjean said "And, Link…you must help her." The two nodded silently and Anjean turned into a ball just like Byrne, but pink. "Good-bye…And thank you. Thank you both." Anjean said as she floated away, Byrne at her side as well as several other balls of spirit, the other Lokomo. As she said this, Link walked over to Zelda and stood next to her. And as they left, the two held hands and stared into the sunset.
Unfortunately most the rest of the story has no record. Zelda drew pictures and what happened is known by her and Link, but alas I don't have anything. I can give you a brief summery on what happened later though. First off, Link and Zelda found the Spirit Train nearby and after a nap Link and Zelda went back to Hyrule Castle Town where a very excited Teacher waited for them. Alfonzo made great trains because, thanks to Link, he was able to make some good designs based off the Spirit Train. Link helped many more people and did many more deeds to get more Force Gems, eventually there were more Spirit Tracks than there were to begin with. Some of the things that Link did include Link finding a wife for the chief of Whittleton, helped build a fence in Anouki Village, got Linebeck some rare Dark Ore, showed a young goron the city of Hyrule, and rescued all the men from the pirate's hideout and brought them safely to Papuchia. Link also helped the bunny man at the Rabbitland Rescue by reuniting him with his wife and collecting fifty bunnies for him. The bunny man was overjoyed and gave Link an old swordsmen scroll which allowed Link to fire beams of energy from his sword. Link also got another sword move from Niko, he traveled all over the world again and filled Niko's book. The next technique was a move that allowed Link to use a moving spin attack that was more powerful and lasted longer. Speaking of Niko, he didn't show his work "Spirits and Demons at war" as much as before. He now had a new piece of art. It was known as "The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks" which featured Link's adventures with Zelda. He now used this to annoy the village children instead of Link, although Link started listening to Niko's art stories more now and would often manage to stay awake. Link became a successful engineer and warrior; he had decided to be both. He gave Ferrus several rides in the Spirit Train which delighted Ferrus. The land of Hyrule returned to normal and the monster attacks ceased.
Zelda sighed as she stared at the framed picture of her and Link. It featured Link riding the Spirit Train and Zelda flying next to him as a spirit, both were smiling. She had drawn it herself and had done a pretty good job. Zelda took her eyes off the picture and focused on her paper work again. She hadn't seen Link for awhile now. She was far behind on her work and Teacher was making sure she finished it before she did anything fun. Teacher was sleeping next to her, still standing. Zelda missed Link so much and considered doing her work pointless. She was too easily distracted right now and would probably not get it done right. Zelda signed her name on another document and suddenly heard a familiar shout and the sound of sword fight. Zelda gasped and rushed to her window. She saw the Spirit Train in the station so Link was definitely here. She looked down and saw him. He was training with the guard. Zelda called out and waved. Link looked up and was struck in the chest with the butt of the spear due to his lack of concentration. Link grunted and fell to the floor. Zelda covered her hand with her mouth, and then waved again, a little apologetically at Link. Link smiled and waved back. Maybe…when I finish my work I can see Link again…
THE END
It is sadly the end of this story, but only the beginning of Link and Zelda's adventures which can be found in two other stories in which Link and Zelda fought even greater threats.
Phew, it's over. For some reason all three of my finished fanfictions are 21 chapters… Yeah sorry I was leaning more to the warrior ending, I just like it better because it felt like Link and Zelda were closer. Anyway when I said it was only the beginning of their adventure, I meant that I wrote a fanfiction on it and I'm planning another one. This is all that is canon. The rest is made up from my mind.
