"Alright, time for our second match of the night. Everyone, give it up for....." a drumroll boomed throughout the crowd. "ZANT, KING OF TWILIGHT." The crowd cheered. "And we will all watch in laughter as he beats up his opponent, CGI LINK." The crowd was silent as a demented-looking Link skippered his way into the ring. The crowd laughed and booed at him. The Link onstage looked quite offended.
"Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me-" He began to speak, but was cut off.
"LET'S get started." The moderator said quickly.
"All fools end up meeting a pitiful end... opposing me is a foolish thing indeed!" Zant yelled.
"Will I get a kiss from Zelda if I win?" Link said with lovestruck eyes. Zant just stood there.
"...Is this guy serious?" He asked.
"Prepare to be beaten by Hyrule's greatest hero!" Link ran at Zant and drew his sword. Zant swiftly deflected the attack and sent Link flying. "Ouch... looks like I'll have to use my super belt combo attack!" He took a belt out of his pocket and tied it around him. Nothing happened. "Oh... I guess Zelda has to be here for that to work." Zant's ears fumed.
"Can't he take this seriously?" He pounded his feet on the ground, and ran toward Link again with unrelenting speed. Zant did a spin attack, which Link managed to deflect with his sword. Link shot a purple beam out of it, but Zant dodged. Zant knocked him over yet again, picked him up, and prepared to throw him against the concrete.
"Stop it, I'm ticklish!" Link said laughing. Zant's anger seemed to intensify. He raised Link in his arms and threw him toward the ground. Like... threw threw. Once the smoke subsided, there was a six foot deep, Link shaped indent in the floor. You winced.
"mOmmY," Link's voice cracked along with what was left of his bones.
"Alright, that wraps that up." The moderator announced. Meanwhile, some workers quickly came into the ring with some fresh cement and dumped it into the floor to fill the hole.
"Wait! I'm still down here! Sprite! Zelda! anyon-" his voice was quickly drowned out.
"Everyone give it up for ZANT." The crowd cheered again. You gulped down a lump in your throat. 'Well... that happened. Dark link would've gone crazy over this. What's taking him so long anyway?' The lights suddenly dimmed again, and the room fell silent. You snapped your attention back towards your surroundings.
"And now..." The moderator announced. "The moment you've all been waiting for... It's time for the FINAL BATTLE." The crowd went ballistic and made more noise than they had all night. You covered your ears. "Our final two contestants will now come up to the ring and battle it out for their chance at glory. Now, please welcome our long running champion..." the crowd went silent. "DARK LINK!!!" The crowd exploded, the stage lit up, and you saw Dark Link run into the ring. The crowd applauded and screamed. Dark Link smiled slyly toward the audience, winked, and then... ripped his shirt off. You put your head in your hands. You felt your cheeks heating up. 'This is the tackiest thing ever.'
"Alright, and now for his opponent." The crowd went silent again. "Making his first appearance this year, he slammed through the competition. But will he be able to beat our champion?" The moderator teased. "Everyone... make some noise for... VAATI." You raised your eyebrows. Vaati walked onto the stage with applause from the crowd.
"Uh, there must be a mistake. There's no way I'm fighting a girl." Dark Link teased. Vaati seemed unfazed.
"Let's just get on with it." He replied blankly.
"Are you sure you don't even want to postpone your certain demise for a few more minutes?" Vaati only replied with a glare. Dark Link shrugged. "Guess not. Don't worry shortie, I'll make this quick."
"Alright... 3... 2... 1... BEGIN!" The moderator shouted. Vaati stood still. Dark Link ran towards him, and made a black sword and shield appear out of thin air. Vaati ducked under his attack, and seemed to teleport behind Dark Link.
"Oh I see, so I don't have to go easy on you?" Dark Link grinned evilly. Dark Link spun around and swung at him again. Vaati jumped over his sword this time, and drew his own sword in mid air. He swung it down at Dark Link, who deflected the attack with his shield. Dark Link jumped backward and narrowed his eyes.
"I've won plenty of sword tournaments before. I thought you'd be more of a challenge then my other opponents." Vaati said with a blank expression. Dark Link furrowed his eyebrows. He ran towards Vaati, and Vaati smiled. He ducked under Darks sword again, and rolled behind him. He flung his sword, but Dark Link turned around and deflected it. Dark swung his sword and Vaati moved to the left, causing the tip of Dark's sword to only graze Vaati's cheek. Vaati jumped backward and wiped the tiny bit of blood off his face, then smiled.
He quickly put both hands in front of him. A blue ball started to form in between his palms, it almost seemed like it was made of wind. He flung it toward Dark Link, who rolled to the side, but the beam still slightly grazed his leg.
"Lucky shot shortie." Dark Link winced, but stood back up. He ran at Vaati, with a new determination in his eyes. Vaati drew his sword again. Dark link unleashed a flurry of attacks, so many, in fact, that you could barely tell what was happening. Somehow, Vaati kept up with his attacks. He seemed to use more of his magic to create some sort of shield that he moved around. He was able to consistently deflect Dark Links attacks, but Dark Link didn't back down. He would roll behind Vaati, swing his sword, roll back in front, and just keep attacking. Everytime Vaati tried to attack him he'd do some crazy dodge.
After a while of this, Vaati jumped backward, putting a good five feet between them. Dark Link panted heavily while Vaati stood still and stared at him. He tilted his head down and scoffed with a grin. Dark Link's brows furrowed, and he ran at Vaati again angrily. Vaati didn't move. Just when Dark Link's sword was about to hit him, Vaati raised his head with a devious smirk.
"I surrender." Vaati smiled evilly. Dark Link came to a screeching halt.
"What?" Dark Link asked, breathing heavily.
"I give up." Vaati shrugged. The crowd fell silent.
"Well... there you have it folks. It looks like Dark Link will reign supreme for another year!" The crowd seemed confused, but they clapped and cheered anyway. Vaati walked next to Dark Link, but stopped when Dark link mumbled something to him with a frustrated look on his face. You couldn't tell what they were saying over the crowds yelling. Vaati snickered, and he replied to whatever Dark Link had said. Link narrowed his eyes with a frown, then muttered something else. Vaati glared at Dark Link in the eyes, and spoke once more before he walked off the ring. The crowd cheered louder for Dark Link, but he still looked discouraged.
Eventually, the crowd started to disperse. You waited in front of the exit until most of the people were gone. Dark Link finally saw you, and ran up to you with a smile.
"So, did you enjoy the show?" He asked.
"You still don't have a shirt on." You said unamused.
"Yeah, I know. It's my signature move. My enemies are always stunned by my utter handsomeness." He replied dramatically.
"Keep telling yourself that." You smirked and rolled your eyes. Both of you walked back to the limo, and got inside. Dark Link was particularly quiet for most of the ride. He was just staring out the window with an irritated look on his face. You wanted to ask him about what Vaati had said, but you didn't know how to bring it up.
"So... uh. You're a three time champ. That's pretty cool." You said awkwardly. "How do you know those guys?" At first, he didn't realize that you had said something.
"Oh." He said surprised. He turned toward you slightly. "It's not like I know-know them or anything. We've just been... acquaintances. In the past." He seemed to shrug it off.
"What about Vaati?"
"What about him?" He said with a sharp tongue.
"I don't know... it's just that you too were talking after the match, I just assumed that you too were close." You tried to pry him into talking.
"Well, we're not." He looked back out the window. Something was definitely off. He never acted like this. You decided that there was no point in pressuring him about it. Eventually, you got back to the mansion.
