Mercenary in the Wild

Day 30. G A N O N

The DOOM Slayer did not care as his warcry ripped from the back of his throat, his blades at the ready as he tried to slash through the layer of Eden-reinforced Malice... but it did not work and he was run into, skewered and sent flying. Quickly, he regained himself and beat his wings to hover, ignoring the pain as it only fuelled him more, same with the scent of his own spilt blood.

Ganon's rampage didn't halt, swiftly changing direction and charging for The Hero of the Wild. "He's not slowing down!" He exclaimed with a grit of his teeth, dodging and rolling out of the way as he swiftly got the Master Sword out. An ethereal blue glow illuminated from it and he tried swinging it, sending beams of energy though they did not do anything to injure the Dark Beast.

The Wild Princess had to rush for cover as well, her mind scrambling to find a solution. "Nothing appears to be working!" They had to find a way to weaken him, to damage this invulnerable being. "What do we do!?" She asked with a note of panic, though she did her best to hold strong in the face of such a daunting challenge. She stared for a long moment at the impending calamity rushing her way.

"Princess!!!" The Half-blood Zonai Hero called out in order to break her out of this reverie that she'd been trapped in. He dashed for her, his forest emerald aura flashing as he moved quicker than his mind could discern and shoved her out of the way.

She tumbled on the ground and could only gawk as, mere moments later, Ganon ravaged into him full force. The Silent Knight barely had sufficient time to put up his shield but he was still sent flying for several hundred meters. "Link! No!!!" She screamed with an outstretched hand and a look of abhorrent horror at her Appointed Knight.

Luckily, The Final Knight descended and reached him, safely bringing him to the surface. "Richi aster!!!" (Not today!) He roared tremendously and flew at the King of Evil furthermore, clashing but his blades were unable to do any tangible impact. He ended up gutted and gored, propelled as a heap onto the ground in a pool of his own blood.

"Cebi! Cebiii! Goddess, no!" The Princess of the Wild wailed at the sight of both of her Knights falling in the face of such extraordinary power. "Is this it...?" She pleaded with herself, tears beading in her eyes. "Is this..." Her studded gloved hands clenched into fists against the ground as the Goddess in her boiled with a thirst for retribution. "No, no, I refuse to let it end like this!" Her sacred power flared as she placed herself in front of Ganon while he prepared to run down the Knights of different Natures, undaunted.

The Hero of Resurrection perked up, the scene all too familiar to him as he supported himself with the Master Sword, except it was not spent and broken, he still had plenty of fight in him and he would resist for his family. He would never fall again. "Princess...? What... are you?" He inquired breathlessly as the Eden Calamitous Beast lunged towards her.

"Ganon...!" Zelda outstretched her right hand towards him, her power amplifying as she proclaimed. "You will be stopped!" The sacred power washed over the charging Boar-like Beast, peeling away the layer of Eden-reinforced Malice that had safeguarded it. However, he was sheer moments away from running her into the ground... and she shut her luminous blueish emerald eyes...

"SĂ NU ÎNDRĂZNEȘTI SĂ O RĂNEȘTI!!!" (Don't you dare hurt her) The booming voice of The Beyond Perfect DOOM Slayer reverberated innumerable times as he crashed down onto his snout and skull, splitting the surface open with the force of impact, rattling the totality of the Demon King. His relentless assault continued as he crushed him over and over and over, blood and malice flying everywhere, further intensifying his power. "Ia-ți... labele... de pe Zelda... a mea!" (Get your paws off my Zelda!) Georgian roared through each hit, smashing him further and further... until he saw that Ganon had gone still. Breathing out, he trudged back, his wings folding behind him as he darted at The Silent Princess. "Ești bine?" (Are you well?) Despite being in the form of The DOOM Slayer... he enunciated in his native Romanian.

"Da..." (Yes) Tentatively, she stepped closer, nodding with a soft smile as she held her hands together close to her chest as was her habit. "Yes, I am... thank you." She whispered sincerely as the capacity of her Luminous aspect subsided.

The Mercenary actually smiled, scarcely, but he did while slowly reverting to his regular self again. The yellow sparks and lines over his body and eyes of Beyond Overdrive faded away first, followed by the chaotic purple waves, warpaint and outline of Beyond Onslaught and, lastly, the rage-filled crimson aura, warpaint and sclera of the Blood-fueled Savagery. "Link?" He inquired in his normal voice, glancing at The Silent Hero.

"I'm fine, thank you." He assured with a smile and nod while sheathing the Master Sword and placing his Hylian Shield on his back.

With the three pieces of the Triforce returned to their possession, The Princess of Resurrection knew that there was one last matter that they had to attend to. "Now... to seal this evil away." She held out her right hand, all Marks over the back of it glowing brightly as her power flared yet again. "Forgive us... Ganny..." She whispered before the divine light engulfed The Boar King of Evil and when it faded... there was nothing but a crater...

Light began to flicker through the darkness around them, the Malice going away gradually as a burden had clearly been lifted from the entire Kingdom. They peered to the sky in unison, then at each other, smiles spreading ultimately. They were triumphant.
