Excalibur's comments: That Sphinx is really bothering me lately. She's been asking me stuff like "which came first?" and such. Anyway, I'm selling her alright? 40 hundred rupees or more so waddya say? Huh?

Chapter 11: The Triforce Gathering.

They walked through a small corridor that went deep into the ground. Even though there were no torches, lights, windows or anything of the sort one could see clearly the inside of it. Link checked his arms and upper body as they walked.

Link – You know, that fairy did quite a good job back there. Unlike other fairies I've had before.

Girl – Just a simple "thanks" will suffice.

Link looked at her with a puzzled look in his eye. She was so disturbingly similar to Kid that he started to miss her and wander what happened to her after confronting Majora's Mask. Various memories flashed in front of his eyes and for a second, he forgot that Zelda existed. Soon after the hero shook his head and looked back at the girl.

Link – Do I know you?

Zelda – That's highly doubtful. You see, she's an avatar from a foreign land, sent by the goddesses to aid us in this quest.

He kept on staring until her eyes met his. Then, Link pulled back and his eyes widened.

Link – This ain't no avatar! She's Farore!

Zelda – What! The goddess herself!

Farore – So you noticed.

Link – Of course I noticed! I'd recognize that innocent look anywhere! What the heck're you doing here in the first place! And why…!

Farore – Don't you dare to raise your voice when talking to me!

Link – I talk the way I want, you hear me!

Farore – Now listen you bastard. If you're gonna…

Zelda – Guys?

Link and Farore in unison – WHAT!

Zelda – We're here.

They now found themselves on a large platform floating in the middle of an even larger room. The Triforce marks on the back of Link's and Zelda's hands started resonating. Then their Triforce pieces came out and gathered inside a crystal at then far end of the room. The ground shook furiously and the crystal began to break.

Farore – Din will kill me for this.

The crystal shattered and the Gerudo King was revealed in his human form, with the Triforce mark shining brightly on the back of his right hand. He descended in front of the other people and put his hands together behind him.

Ganondorf – Well, well, if it isn't the Hero of Time and the bitch with the green hair.

Link turned to Farore.

Link – You guys know each other?

Farore – My sisters and Ihelped in sealing him away for good.

Ganondorf – And yet again, the "boy in the green hat" helped me get the Triforce.

Farore – Again?

Link – It wasn't supposed to be like that.

Ganondorf – Oh, but it was. By the way, I heard that you made a pact with the devil, that true?

Link – Bad question Ganon.

He charged at Ganondorf but he easily avoided the attack and Link tripped and fell. He then stood up and attacked twice, failing again. Ganon countered by smashing Link on his stomach with his knee. The princess shot a light arrow at him, but the Gerudo king deflected it with a magic shield and tossed Link against her.

Ganondorf – Please, you think you can beat me with your worthless efforts?

Farore used a binding spell on Ganon and restrained him from any movement.

Ganondorf – Nice spell…

He broke it, and then used "Warlock Punch" (a mighty punch charged with large amounts of dark energy) on her. The he cast an explosion spell on them. His opponents were already exhausted as he now possessed the power of the three goddesses that created the world itself.

Ganondorf – Listen kid, no, Link. I've always sort of liked you, stubborn, powerful and even ruthless sometimes.

Link – cough

Ganondorf – Sephiroth's just using you, he won't give you your life back or even let you use that body you got. He'll just throw you away like shit.

Link somehow managed to get on his feet. His swords were all nothing but small pieces of metal, except for the Evil Excalibur and the Master Sword, which was blown away by the explosion.

Link – And you expect ME to trust YOU? You gotta be joking.

Ganondorf – Believe what you want, but keep in mind that I also was a puppet of his.

Suddenly a large sword went right through Ganon's body. He groaned lightly and to his surprise, Sephiroth had appeared to finish him for good. Ganon used his magic shield to repel the swordsman and turned to face him.

Ganondorf – Was about time you showed up.

A purple light flashed from Sephiroth's body into Link's.

Link – Ack!

Ganondorf – Shit!

Sephiroth disappeared. Farore and Zelda had disappeared as well As to Link, pain overcame his body and darkness poured out of it in great proportions. Then he just blanked out. Ganondorf confused, walked close slowly to see what was going on. The Hero of Time opened his completely white eyes all of a sudden and stood up slowly. The evil king backed off and assumed a fighting position, while Link grabbed the Evil Excalibur's hilt. One of the sword's gems opened in half, revealing an orange colored eye.

Ganondorf – It can't be…Soul Edge?

Dark Link – It has been a long time since, has it not?

Ganondorf – You were supposed to be dead!

Dark Link – I would like to chat but I need your soul, and I am in quite a hurry.

Ganondorf – Then you'll just have to take it by force then.

Ganon charged at Link, but he disappeared. He felt Link's presence behind him, so he quickly ducked and thrust his elbow into Link's stomach while Soul Edge passed over him. The young Hylian groaned in pain. Then the evil king turned to face him and as he did he used "Warlock Punch" to send his opponent flying against the wall on the other side.

Ganondorf – Well?

Dark Link – Souls…Come unto me!

Lots of small souls flew into Link's body. His sword lit on fire and energy overflowed out of his body.

Ganondorf – What? Can't fight without your own strength?

Dark Link – You shouldn't talk.

Ganondorf – Leave those people alone!

A small flare went right through Ganon's body. To his surprise, Link stood behind him, gripping Soul Edge with both hands. Then Link used a spin attack. Flames spread all over the room. Ganon shook them away; however, he had lost his soul and was sucked into the dark abyss inside the demonic blade.
