Majora's Mask VS. Ganondorf

The Nintendoland Deathmatch Stadium. Over the past months, this wondrous arena has been the site of many, many battles. Among them were Link against Mario, battle between two of the greatest heroes of the age, and KoopaTroopa against Goomba, battle of the underdogs. However, nothing could have prepared the loyal Nintendo fans, who had crowded into the veritable coliseum by the tens of thousands, for the battle which was about to begin. The stadium had been modified into a coliseum so that the spectators could see the sky, where a sinister moon hung. Several nervous people and beasts chattered excitedly at the moon's large, toothy grin. Up in the hosting box, a door opened, and cheers exploded from the crowd as the Super Mario Brothers entered the highest point in the stadium. Luigi couldn't help but grin, but Mario, who was used to such attention, only took his seat, grabbing his microphone. Luigi, snapping to attention after getting over his slowly swelling head, followed suit by taking his seat to his elder brother's right.
 
Mario and Luigi: Good afternoon, ladies and gents, and welcome to the stadium!
 
The brothers let the cheers (and jeers, from the Koopa crowd) subside before continuing.
 
Mario: Today, we have a match of two of the greatest evils to ever plague the Nintendo realm!
 
Again, there were cheers, but they were noticeably less enthusiastic.
 
Luigi, with a note of sarcasm: Glad to see that you're all so excited. Now, what say we get on to the fight?
 
Luigi's spirits were lifted a little as the cries and cheers erupted from the crowd with such force that the stadium itself shook.
 
Mario: Now, to introduce player one! You know him from his attempts to conquer the land of Hyrule! Yes, ladies and gents, it's the King of Evil himself, Ganondorf!
 
All fell silent as one of the gates rose up, and Ganondorf stepped forward from the darkness. His orange eyes and their red pupils glowed softly as he entered the arena, fingering a massive sword sheathed on his belt's left side. Then, in an uncharacteristic, wrestling-like move, he raised his arms to the sky as the crowd, evil or those who just like the evil king, exploded into a round of applause and cheers. Mario and Luigi exchanged nervous glances as the king lowered his hands, a wicked grin spreading across his face.
 
Ganondorf: Bring the pathetic fool who would challenge the King of Evil...
 
These words were very quiet, but the silence of the fans when they realized that he was about to speak allowed him to be heard, even in the announcer's box, just before Luigi continued.
 
Luigi: Uhhh...okay... Player two is less known, but no less feared by those who have seen him, than Ganondorf. Responsible for the ruin of thousands of lives and the falling of the moon...
 
All looked up at the sinister moon, which indeed seemed to be falling...
 
Luigi: Let's hear a round of applause for the feared Majora's Mask!
 
However, when the gates opened and Majora's Mask came from the shadows, there was little to no applause at all, probably due to the fact that next to no one had ever seen him or his fighting style...if you could call Majora a "he." The mask seemed to be nothing more than that: A floating mask, made up of a rainbow of swirled colors and two large, yellow eyes. Ganondorf raised his left eyebrow at the set of spikes that were on the rim of the mask, and they seemed to be waving back and forth, very slowly. To the surprise of all, Ganondorf especially, the mask spoke with a voice that echoed off of the very walls of the coliseum.
 
Majora: You are the fool, to think that you could POSSIBLY overcome my power.
 
Absolute silence floods through the stands and announcer's box as this sinks in, but Ganondorf waves it aside, grinning maliciously.
 
Ganondorf: Yes, yes, certainly. Whatever you say, "emperor," but words will not win you this battle. Talk is cheap...
 
Mario, Luigi, and all of the spectators, even Bowser, King of the Koopas, let out a sigh of relief. It had been thought that Ganondorf would explode in a fit of anger and destroy the entire continent trying to kill Majora.
 
Mario: Well, then... Let's see a starting shot!
 
Ganondorf looked up as a clay pigeon was fired into the air, high above the battleground, and all held their breath as adult Link the First appeared to launch a Fire Arrow, causing the pigeon to explode in midair. Ganondorf looked back at his opponent, who had begun to spin around like a buzz saw. The big G's jaw dropped as Majora hurtled into him, shattering a layer of his armor when the demon flies into him. Ganondorf roared in sheer agony before falling to his knees as the spinning menace flew by, stopped spinning, and righted itself, floating around.
 
Majora: As you can see, you have no hope of winning.
 
Ganondorf's eyes blazed as he clenched his fist and leapt into the air, where he too hovered. He held his right hand in the air above him, and energy crackled as a ball of pure, pulsating, evil energy formed. He hurled it with a grunt, and his scowl grew wider as Majora simply hovered out of the way.
 
Majora: Pathetic! How do you expect to win when you fight like that?
 
Ganondorf: Think before you speak, upstart weakling!
 
With that, Ganondorf unleashed another burst of electric evil, and this one was fired so unexpectedly that Majora did not have time to dodge. When the attack hit, it exploded in a burst of light, and Ganondorf grinned as Majora dropped with a screech of agony. Ganondorf, not knowing that he had to kick the mask while it was down, waited until it rose into the air again, with little to no damage on it. However, it saw Ganondorf for the danger that he was, and wasted no more time: he had to kill the Evil King before it happened the other way around. Tendrils that seemed to rest at the bottom spread around the mask, and energy gathered with a very high-pitched whine. Ganondorf, not knowing what to expect, simply waited, not even bothering to brace himself for the attack.
 
Luigi: Is that wise, Mario?
 
Mario: Is what wise?
 
Luigi: Well, I've played through The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and I know for a fact that this is going to hurt...
 
Luigi had never said anything more true in his life. If the mask had a mouth, it would have smiled as the energy stopped gathering. It proceeded to fire a massive amount of energy in the form of a "beam" of fire. Ganondorf's eyes widened before the attack hit him, and his cries of pain echoed throughout the arena as his armor and cape were set on fire. Majora had just hit him with enough power to level a forest, and it showed as the sand beneath Ganondorf was turned into muddy glass. Ganondorf, after catching his breath, leapt into the air, and threw out his arms, dispelling the fire and throwing aside the pain. Ganondorf's mind was racing, wondering why he hadn't been able to hurt Majora... However, he did not have time to think. The mask had already begun to gather energy again. Ganondorf grinned. This time, he was ready.
 
Mario: That grin doesn't bode well....
 
These guys are on a roll, aren't they? Anyway, he was once again right. As the fire beam was launched again, Ganondorf put up his hands, palms forward, and when the beam hit him, it was reflected at an angle that made it splash harmlessly on the wall. Fire spread across the rims of the arena, and when the beam stopped firing, Ganondorf put down his hands, confident that he would see a shocked Majora before him...Well, this is sort of what happened. What he saw was Majora, but not in the position that he had expected. Majora was again performing his dreaded buzz saw technique. Instinctively, Ganondorf drew his massive broadsword, easily as long as he was tall, and brought it down on the "face" of the mask, which was unprotected by the spikes around the edges. Throwing a hefty amount of force behind the blow, he drove the mask to the ground with relative ease, and there it lay, stunned.
 
Ganondorf: You're not getting up THIS time!
 
Ganondorf raised his massive sword above his head, and the entire crowd held its breath for what was sure to be the end of the battle...
 
Mario: Here it comes! Here it comes!
 
Ganondorf brought down the blade with such force that it drove itself through the face of the mask. The Evil King grinned, drawing his sword from the face of the mask and turned to silent members of the audience, who were shocked by how quickly that had ended.
 
Ganondorf: See? He really didn't have the ability to defeat me...
 
Then, from up in the crowd, a woman screamed, and several persons' attention were drawn to what should have been an inanimate object behind the Lord of Darkness.
 
Dr. Wily: What the heck is that?!
 
Ganondorf spun on his heel to see the mask floating above the ground, and it was on fire. The flames seemed to die as the Mask righted itself in front of Ganondorf, where it hovered, shuddering violently. Then, with a little "pop," a leg popped out of the mask's lower left side. Then an arm from its upper right. Then another leg, and another arm... Ganondorf opened one eye very wide and seemed to squint with his other as a head of sorts popped from the top of the mask. Actually, the head was no more than a single, large eye on a stalk. The beast's limbs appeared to be made up of a fiber the same color as the mask itself; all the colors of the rainbow mixed together in a pattern that somewhat resembled muscular tissue and vascular system.
 
Luigi: I believe that I'm going to be sick. That's the most disgusting thing I've seen in a while.
 
Mario: You're not kidding... Ladies and gentlemen, Majora's Mask has just transformed into Majora's Incarnation!
 
Majora's Incarnation jumped back and forth, squeaking, before launching into dance. Ganondorf cried out as Majora's Incarnation slammed into him with a high-speed pirouette, knocking Ganondorf to the ground. Ganondorf leapt to his feet, and fired off a burst of evil magic, only to see it miss by a mile.
 
Ganondorf, thinking: Curse him, he's too fast to hit!
 
Majora's Incarnation stopped in front of him, and spoke for the first and last time in this form.
 
MI: YOU AIN'T JUST WHISTLIN' DIXIE!
 
Ganondorf took a swing at his opponent, only to miss as the tricky devil went into a a Trapeck, going under the punch and kicking Ganondorf hard in the gut. Ganondorf doubled over before he was kicked onto his back and stomped on as Incarnation passes by. Ganondorf shakes his head free of cobwebs before launching himself into the air and watching this pathetic excuse for a villain perform the Moonwalk.
 
Ganondorf: Let's see... What do I have that can hit something that jumps around like that? Oh, silly ME...
 
Ganondorf clenched his fist, which erupted with the same golden energy as his light burst, and yelled in rage as he punched the ground with such strength that it sent shockwaves of force rippling along the ground. The effects of the attack were satisfactory in Ganondorf's eyes, horrifying if you asked Incarnation. It knocked the demon forward, onto his stomach, and he seemed to try to be crawling away as Ganondorf rose into the air again. He raised his left hand into the air, palm facing up, and another bolt of energy formed. He hurled it, confident that it would hit... Unfortunately, Incarnation had gotten to his feet, and was running around again. Ganondorf was about to prepare for another Earthquake Punch, when Incarnation stopped to fire off a flurry of energy bursts. Ganondorf looks up from charging his energy.
 
Ganondorf: Oh, not again...
 
He cried out in sheer agony as he was blasted out of the air by dozens upon dozens of energy blasts, sending him careening into the far end of the ring.
 
Luigi: Ooh, that has got to hurt!
 
Mario: This is turning out to be much better than anticipated, isn't it?
 
Luigi: I have to agree.
 
As Ganondorf slowly got to his feet and rose into the air, his cape tattered and torn as a sign of damage, he did something he should have done a long time ago. Incarnation was once again performing a graceful pirouette, giving Ganondorf the perfect chance to strike. He raised both hands into the air, summoning massive amounts of dark energies. A black hole of sorts forms above his head, and orbs of light are summoned from empty space to gather within the hole, making it shine with a blinding light, and he grinned.
 
Mario: Holy cow! It's the Black Hole attack! Brace yourselves, folks!
 
Ganondorf yelled in triumph as he unleashed the attack, and the massive energy gathering separated into six or seven separate bursts, which chased Incarnation as he ran aimlessly around the arena. The eyes of Ganondorf and the spectators darted around the ring as Incarnation tried to get away....to no avail. When the first burst hit, it exploded, and he was knocked onto his stomach, screaming in agony as light radiated off of his entire body. Then, another hit, and he was back on his feet, clutching his head and screaming ever louder. The audience covered its collective ears as the other five bursts hit, and Majora began to flail his arms wildly. Suddenly, he stopped, and stood still, except that his entire body was pulsating. One could hear the blood and juices flowing through him as his muscle mass expanded, making him at least as buff as the King of Evil. Then, flesh gathered and shot up the stalk of the eye, and swirled around it, forming an actual head with a mouth and completed by two red horns on the top of its head. This new horror emitted a low growl as it crossed its arms in front of its chest, then threw them out, sprouting large tentacles which resembled whips. The crowd and announcers fell silent as the new entity screeched, a very high-pitched, grating sound. As Mario, who had never seen anything like this, picked his jaw up off the ground, Luigi gripped his microphone so hard that his knuckled were white.
 
Luigi: Ladies and gentlemen, it would appear that Majora has transformed into his final and ultimate form: Majora's Wrath! This spells trouble for Ganondorf, folks!
 
Luigi quickly shut up as Ganondorf shot him a piercing glare, but Ganondorf was not foolish enough to look away from THIS enemy for long. He turned back and rose into the air, preparing to fire another energy burst, but he was cut off in the middle of his charging. Majora, sensing what was about to happen, lashed out with one of his tentacles, which wrapped around Ganondorf's wrist from over fifty feet away, and swung around the evil king to slam him into a wall. Rock gave way and the wall exploded as the tentacle released its hold and retracted, and Ganondorf arose from the dust, apparently injured, but not about to show it.
 
Ganondorf: Oh, come now! If you cannot do any better than that, it is best that I finish you now!
 
With that, he drew his tremendous sword again, and soared through the air to turn Majora into julienne fries. Once again, his attack was cut short by Majora's tentacles, one of which wrapped around the blade of his sword, yanked it out of his hands, and hurled it through the air, right at the announcer's box.
 
Mario: Hit the deck!
 
Mario and Luigi both got down on the floor as the sword, which was bigger than both of them, crashed through the window, littering the entire room with shattered glass. Mario and Luigi both slowly looked over their chairs, now wearing hard-hats, and exchanged nervous glances before rising to take their seats and continue watching the fight. Below, the battle had turned in heavy favor of Majora's Wrath. He was whipping Ganondorf with such force that the King of Evil couldn't stay in the air, fell to a kneeling position and was being killed while on his knees. on his knees. Majora laughed maniacally before one of the tentacles wrapped around Ganondorf's neck. Ganondorf, realizing what was about to happen, cried out in terror before the tentacle constricted, cutting off his air and allowing Majora to begin slinging him around. Ganondorf's cape detached as Majora swung him around in a very wide arc, faster and faster and faster! Ganondorf's eyes rolled into the back of his head just as he was about to black out, but this never happened, because Majora suddenly let go. Ganondorf went flying at hundreds of miles per hour before crashing into a wall of the arena, shattering solid stone, destroying part of the stands, burying him under rubble and unlucky spectators. People panicked, and those who could unearth themselves ran for the rapidly opening gates. Majora paid them no attention, only concentrating on the pile of rubble under which Ganondorf resided. Mario and Luigi seemed to agree upon something before taking the mikes again.
 
Mario: Well, ladies and gents, it would appear that Ganondorf has been de-
 
He was cut off as the entire arena quaked with a very low rumbling. All was silent for a moment except for the crash of the closing gates, even Majora's Wrath. The tense moment was shattered as the rubble exploded, and Ganondorf rose from it, his eyes blazing with rage. He held up his left hand, and three golden triangle appeared on his hand, the top one shining. The Triforce of Power shined as Ganondorf spread out his limbs, screaming with sheer rage as he body was washed over with a bright, blue light. Majora staggered backwards, shocked as Ganondorf fell with a tremendous crash, landing on his feet, which had transformed into massive hoof. As he straightened, tremendous horns grew from his head, and when he truly stood up, Ganondorf, the King of Evil, had transformed into Ganon, the mightiest beast to haunt the sands of time. Ganon roared, a tremendous trident forming in his hand, and he hurled it at Majora. Majora, showing more agility and speed than anything Ganon had ever seen, leaped high into the air, soaring over the trident. Ganon calculated exactly where Majora's Wrath would land, and hurled his trident just in time to pin the demon against a wall. Ganon drew another trident, planning to impale the enemy, but it was whipped out of his hand by Majora's tentacles.
 
Luigi: Folks, this is incredible! Both competitors have reached their final form! This is going to be the final showdown!
 
Majora reached down with one hand, grabbed the trident by the hilt, and pulled it out of the wall before flinging both away, after which they bounced off of Bowser's shell. Majora lashed out with both tentacles, almost grinning as they wrapped around Ganon's wrist. This seemed to be it! Majora had him! However, this thought was dismissed as Ganon gave the tentacles a good yank, and Majora's eyes went wide as it was pulled off of its feet and towards Ganon, eventually smashing his head against the King of Evil's with a satisfying CRACK! Majora fell onto his back, and Ganon formed one of his tremendous sword, which was as big as Majora himself. He raised it high above his head, and lightning seemed to dance around the moon's eyes. Ganon seemed to grin as he brought down the massive blade, and Majora reacted as best he could; he stopped the sword by putting his hands up to the flat sides of the blade, pouring every ounce of strength he had into keeping from being cleaved in half. Ganon's wicked smile grew wider as he slowly overpowered his soon-to-be victim... Majora lashed out, kicking Ganon hard on the chin, making the evil king lose his grip on the sword before tossing it aside and leaping to his feet. He wrapped his fingers around Ganon's horns, and, with a heave, tossed the beast high into the air. Mario and Luigi watched Ganon fly a good 200 feet straight up...
 
Mario: That was one heck of a toss...
 
Luigi: No kidding...
 
Majora panted as Ganon soared, too exhausted with the effort of hurling the evil king into the air to pay attention as the embodiment of horror crashed into the ground rather noisily. Majora got up as he heard what sounded like thunder from behind him, and slowly turned...to see Ganon charging, head down. Majora roared in agony as Ganon hit him going over fifty miles per hour, charging until he smashed Majora through a wall, then backing up, and beginning to beat the demon with his fists. Majora flails his limbs for a few seconds, but a punch to the gut knocks the wind from his, and he falls limp in the shadows...however, most of the spectators are no longer watching the battle. They are watching the moon, now only a few hundred meters above the ground.
 
Bowser: HOLY COW!
 
Sigma: LOOK AT THAT!
 
Ganon stopped beating on Majora long enough to step back out of the shadows and looked up. When he saw the moon, hovering high above him, his mind raced. The moon was going to crash, and soon. When it did, it would destroy most of the world, including Hyrule... Ganon roared in frustration. He was torn between defeating his opponent to prove his superiority, and saving the world, thus humiliating himself but preserving Hyrule, a land which he was destined to conquer. In a flash of blue light, he had transformed back into Ganondorf, and was soaring up towards the moon, which loomed menacingly overhead.
 
Luigi: What is he doing?
 
Mario: No way... He's going to blow up the moon!
 
Indeed. Majora got to his feet, bleeding profusely from his numerous injuries, and emerged from the shadows of the ruined section of the stadium to look up at the moon and Ganondorf. Ganondorf stopped, hovering just below the moon's nose, and glared up at it. He balled up his right fist, which seemed to erupt in a golden light, and landed a solid punch on the moon's nose. What happened next was shocking. A shockwave of color moved through the moon, first turning it blue, then purple, then blood-red, and finally a fiery yellow, just before it exploded. However, Ganondorf, knowing that this sucker would go off like an 80 billion-ton nuke, drained the power of the Triforce of Power into containing the ball of fire so that it didn't wipe out the entire planet, or even the stadium...but that didn't stop HIM from getting caught in the explosion. Ganondorf fell to the Earth as the fire dispersed, his armor charred and broken, his flesh scorched. When he hit the dirt with a loud thud, he created a small crater in the shape of his own body, and Phantom Ganon, one of the judges for this match, ran out into the arena to check on him. He kneeled over his king, checked his breathing and pulse, and got to his feet.
 
Phantom Ganon: He's out cold. Majora wins.
 
Mario: You heard it, folks! Majora's Wrath wins!
 
The fans that were left exploded into applause as Majora got to his feet, not in much better shape than Ganondorf. He looked around him, and would have grinned if he could have as Phantom Ganon walked over to him, carrying a medal in his right hand. He shook Majora's hand, then slipped the medal over his neck.
 
Phantom Ganon: Wear it with pride...
 
He turned away, walking over to his boss as Majora showed off his medal to the crowd and his minions. Majora laughed with pride, but Phantom Ganon muttered under his breath as he knelt by his king.
 
PG: You know he cheated, boss... He planned that all out. He couldn't have lost with that moon up there...
 
Ganondorf grunted, getting up into a sitting position, shaking the dizziness from his head.
 
PG: I wanted to tell you, that was a pretty decent thing you did up there, with the moon...
 
Ganondorf's hand reached out, and grabbed the head of his most loyal servant. Ganondorf growled under his breath as he began to squeeze...
 
Ganondorf: Never say that the King of Evil does anything "good"...
 
With that, he crushed Phantom Ganon's skull, and the ghost exploded in a flash of light with a scream of pain. The King of Evil got to his feet, and watched Majora. The ancient emperor's back was to him.
 
Ganondorf, thinking: Oh, why the heck not?
 
Ganondorf raised his hand into the air, and electricity crackled as he summoned another bolt of pure evil energy. Majora, so absorbed in his victory, doesn't notice, not even when one of his supporters tries to warn him.
 
Eyegore: My emperor, behind you!
 
However, Majora only turned when it was too late. He didn't even have time to scream, because the bolt was already in his face. It exploded in his eye with such force that it sent him rocketing backwards into one of the gates, smashing through the iron grating with a high-pitched groan of metal. All eyes turned from the shattered champion to Ganondorf, who's hand was still smoking.
 
Ganondorf: I'm satisfied...
 
He spun on his heel, cape flowing behind him, turning his back to his unconscious opponent. He strolled out of the arena, blasting the iron gate out of his way with little effot. All grew quiet as he disappeared into the darkness.
 
Luigi: Ummm... yeah....
 
Mario: Well, ladies and gentlemen, this was a highly unexpected turn of events. Ganondorf, showing a little more honor than expected...
 
Mario found himself suddenly unconscious as he was hit in the face with an energy bolt that came out of nowhere. Luigi looked at his brother before nervously continuing.
 
Luigi: Well, the King of Evil showed that he had more than enough power to defeat his opponent, but through a bit of dirty cheating, Majora took the win before getting the crap blasted out of him!
 
He looked around nervously, hoping that he wouldn't be blasted out of him thanks to a little buttering up. Mario slowly got to his feet, and the end of his moustache was on fire, though neither he or Luigi noticed.
 
Mario: Goodnight, folks...
