Chapter 8: The Last Day- The Showdown
It's now night time on The Last Day. Link told Shadow and Sonic, "We have to go stop this problem at its source! Let's go!" So with that, the three heroes headed toward South Clock Town, but everyone was evacuating. The gate soldier stopped them and said, "I'm sorry, but by order of Mayor Doutour, we are to evacuate all citizens outside of this town!" Shadow then stepped out from behind Sonic and Link. The guard, remembering what Shadow did to him a few days previously, said, "You little *******!" and lunged at him. Shadow then sidestepped that and punched him in the groin. The guard then said, "You mother--" then he lost all consciousness. The three heroes then went to the Clock Tower. Once they went inside, they found the Skull Kid (decked out with Majora's Mask) floating in the air. Sonic stepped up, pointed at the Skull Kid, and yelled, "So you're the ******* responsible for all this bull****, aren't you?!!" The Skull Kid then said, "So what if I am? What's it to you?" Sonic then said, "You will pay for what you did to all of those innocent people!!" The Skull Kid then sneered, "Yeah right... morons. When I am finished with this world, I will target yours next!" Shadow yelled, "THAT WILL NEVER HAPPEN!!" with that, Sonic and Shadow tried to fight the Skull Kid. However, the Skull Kid swatted them away like flies. He then said, "You insignificant flies... That will not do you any good. Hee hee hee." Shadow then yelled, "You little *******!" and threw a Chaos Spear at him. The Skull Kid dodged it and then yelled, "YOU WEAKLINGS HAVE WASTED ENOUGH OF MY TIME!!!! NOW I AM GONNA SEND ALL OF YOU WIMPS STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!!!" After that, the Skull Kid tapped into the evil power of Majora's Mask and started glowing with a dark energy. The descent of the moon accelerated as a result of the evil energy. Unbeknownst to everyone, Anju had managed to slip into the Clock Tower and unbeknownst to her, Kafei had slipped in right behind her. As the moon descended at an accelerated rate of speed, the tower started shaking and rumbling. Anju then turned around and saw Kafei standing there. Kafei ran into her arms and the two kissed embraced. Sonic saw this and he yelled, "Hey, lady, are you some sort of pedo... er... pervert? That is a CHILD you are kissing on!" Anju corrected him, "The reason he appears as a child is due to the shenanigans of that evil creature up there!" Shadow yelled, "How can that be stopped?!?" Link pulled out his Ocarina of Time. Kafei then rushed up to him and grabbed him by the collar of his tunic. He yelled at Link (while lacing his diatribe with both English and Hylian expletives), "What the HELL are you thinking, kid!?! How the HELL is that piece of **** gonna save us??" Anju calmly said, "He knows what he is doing. Calm down and let him go." Kafei then ran back into her arms. Sonic then yelled, "Uh guys, you will have time for a 'Dr. Phil' moment later... BUT RIGHT NOW OUR DAMN LIVES ARE AT STAKE HERE!!!" After that, Link then played the Oath to Order. The, out of nowhere, there came a loud moaning. First, a weird looking giant materialized at the Southern Swamp (Woodfall/Deku Palace) and approached the moon. Then another one materialized at the Northern Mountains (Snowhead/Mountain Village) and approached the moon as well. Then two more materialized and approached the moon. Shadow then screamed, "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL ARE THOSE??" He leaped into the air to attack them, but a pair of hands grabbed his right ankle and pulled him down. He looked back and saw Link. He then said, "No Shadow, those giants are here to help us." Shadow then said, "Those must be the 4 guardian deities of this world that the Great Fairy told us about..." All the while, the Skull Kid was writhing and screaming in the air as if he were in the throes of a major seizure. The four giants then grabbed hold of the moon and tried to stop its fall. After what seemed like hours, the moon was finally stopped. Everyone was happy and celebrating; Anju and Kafei were embracing while weeping (with joy) while Sonic, Shadow, and Link were exchanging high-fives, handshakes, and chest bumps. Sonic then told Shadow, "It's over now... Let's go home." Soon after, a loud voice yelled, <BWAHAHAHAHAHA!! THEBADDLEHAZJUSDBEG UNN... !!> Everyone turned around to see the Skull Kid floating in the air rigid and straight. To everyone's horror, the Skull Kid's body started shaking violently. After which, his body rose in the air and then slammed down on the ground about 5 times. Then the body started swinging in a wide circle before something horrible happened: The mask threw off the Skull Kid so hard that he hit the far side of the wall in the back, slid down slowly, and stayed still. Everyone stared at the mask as it started speaking: <A puppet that can no longer be used is mere garbage. Now that this shell has served its purpose, it is now useless.>Sonic stared at the mask while his jaw dropped. The mask then said, <Ha ha ha... Congratulations, heroes. You managed to stop me for right now. However, let's see if you can stop THIS!!> Then it fired a powerful energy wave at Link. Link held up his shield and blocked it, but it melted off the front of his shield. Shadow was like, "Holy ****, that thing is powerful... This could be a challenge!" Majora then said, <Well done, child. Maybe you heroes are worthy of facing me in combat...> then it started doing a figure 8 in the air until a new mask materialized. This mask dropped into Link's hands. Majora then cackled like a madman/madwoman/mad-whatever and rose into the "mouth" of the moon. With that, the "eyes" of the moon glowed red and the moon started shaking and trembling again, forcing the giants to resume their struggle to hold the moon up. The moon then started inhaling. Link then put on the mask he was "given" and transformed into Fierce Deity Link. Anju gasped in surprise and Shadow was like, "Whoa... what power... !" Link then looked at Sonic and Shadow then said, "Let's go." So they went to the moon and allowed themselves to be sucked in.
*Meanwhile in unknown territory*
The three heroes have landed some sort of grassy field with a giant tree in the middle. While they were walking up to the tree, they noticed four children running around and playing. They had masks on: One had on Odolwa's mask, another had on Goht's mask, another had on Gyorg's mask, and the other one had on Twinmold's mask. Under the tree, the heroes noticed a fifth child sitting on the ground that was wearing Majora's Mask. Fierce Deity Link took out his double-helix sword, and with it, he slew the four children with it, apparently without provocation. Sonic was like, "What the hell, Link!!" Shadow then said, "Slaying little children without provocation? That must be some evil power!" Link then said to Shadow, "No, those weren't really children..." So they approached the "child" that was sitting under the tree. He held up his hand and enveloped the heroes in a bright light...
*ENCOUNTER: MAJORA*
Sonic, Shadow, and Fierce Deity Link have been teleported to some kind of chamber. As soon as they set foot on the ground, the remains of Odolwa, Goht, Twinmold, and Gyorg appeared out of nowhere and attached themselves to the four walls of the room. Then Majora appeared in front of the heroes and then said, <Hee hee hee. Now it begins, heroes. You have done well to make it this far... then again, maybe not. Now let's see what you're made of!!!> With that, tentacles grew out of the back of the mask before it started floating around the room.
*Phase One: Majora's Mask*
Sonic stepped up and told Link and Shadow, "You two stay out of this, I'll handle this freak myself!" Majora then bellowed, <FOOL!!!> and started shooting energy balls at Sonic while Majora was flying around the room and while Sonic was dodging them. Naturally, Majora missed each and every time. Sonic stopped running around the room and Majora flew at him. Sonic sidestepped and grabbed some of its tentacles. Sonic then started swinging around Majora very fast then let go, throwing Majora into the nearest wall. Majora recovered then shot out its tentacles, some of which wrapped themselves around Sonic's midsection. Majora started flying around the room, dragging Sonic around the room With it until Link severed the tentacles With his sword. Majora yelled, <AAAAAAAAARRGGGGHHHH HH!!!!!!!> in pain and rage as it expelled some sort of evil energy. With this evil energy, the remains of Goht, Twinmold, Odolwa, and Gyorg became animated. They came off the wall and all the masks started shooting energy balls at Sonic. Sonic then kicked up a tornado and then all the energy balls hit the masks and Majora. The other masks were destroyed, while Majora was severely damaged. Sonic then jumped up into the air and suspended himself for about three seconds before slamming into Majora With a Homing Attack, thus finishing it off... or so he thought. The mask rose back into the air and then started mutating: It sprouted two long arms from the sides and two long legs from its bottom. Finally, a small head appeared on a small neck that had a single eye.
*Phase Two: Majora's Incarnation*
This new incarnation of Majora started running around the room very fast, so fast that it had Sonic and Fierce Deity Link on their butts way before they knew what hit them. Shadow then stepped up to fight. He started chasing Majora around the room. Shadow said to himself, "Man, this is some childish bull****..." then Majora turned around and attacked Shadow, sending him flying. He stood up, just as Majora started running again. Shadow took out one of the Chaos Emeralds and yelled, "CHAOS CONTROL!!" and slowed down time (and Majora). With that, Shadow overtook Majora and the two started fighting, exchanging blows. Shadow jumped up into the air and prepared to smash into the demon's chest With a Homing Attack, but Majora caught Shadow and ruthlessly tossed him to the side. Shadow threw a Chaos Spear at Majora, paralyzing it as the Chaos Control wore off. Shadow then went into Chaos Boost and threw a Chaos Lance that tore through the demon's chest. Majora appeared to expire, but then about 15 seconds later, Majora rose once again and underwent another mutation: its body mass grew in size as if it were on steroids while its arms (tentacles) elongated until they were like bullwhips. The eye rose and it was revealed that the monster's head was hidden and the huge eye was its third eye. The demon's true face was totally horrifying.
*Phase Three: Majora's Wrath*
Fierce Deity Link stepped up to the demon and said to Sonic and Shadow, "Hey guys, I will handle this one. He is much more powerful than he ever was in this form. Trust me on this one!" He tried to charge at Majora, but Majora whipped its tentacles and knocked him back. Link got up but Majora started whipping its tentacles, keeping Link, Sonic, and Shadow at bay. Fierce Deity Link got up and then charged his sword up With magical energy. He then started swinging his sword, releasing bolts of magical energy which hit Majora and caused it to fall. Fierce Deity Link then charged up his sword With magical energy again. He leaped up into the air and planted his sword into Majora's chest. The magical energy fried Majora. For good measure, Shadow hit it With a Chaos Spear and Sonic slammed it With a Homing Attack. Fierce Deity Link pulled out his sword while flipping backward. The three heroes stared down the smoking corpse of Majora. Majora was now finished... Or was it??
*A few minutes later*
The three heroes had turned around to exit the room, but they heard a loud "HAHAHAHAHA!!" laugh. They turned around and saw Majora standing there, fully healed and fully revived. Sonic said, "Impossible... !!" Majora then taunted, "You heroes are very strong. Yes indeed. Very strong... hehe. Yes. Maybe you three are worthy!" Shadow yelled, "You... MOTHER****ER!!!!" as he jumped up in the air and prepared to strike Majora. However, in a flash of dark energy, Majora teleported out of the room. The three heroes followed Majora back to South Clock Town, where they saw Majora standing on top of the Clock Tower, right under the Moon. Majora then said, "Hehe... it took you three long enough to get here." Sonic then yelled, "Cut the bull****, Majora! What do you really want??" Majora answered, "I am going to rule this world and I want you three to be a part of this new world I am going to create." Sonic then said, "No way, *******! We don't want a part in that!!" Majora then sneered, "Hehehe... I think that you three do not have a choice in the matter... HAHAHAHAHA!" Link then yelled, "What in the hell do you mean bu that?!?" Majora simply said, "Observe." It lifted its arms toward the moon. When he did that, the three heroes bent backwards with their chest forward. They yelled out in pain as their very life forces were sucked out. The negative energy of the Chaos Emeralds was also sucked out and then it all combined into one ball of energy. It went up into the mouth of the moon. Majora then said, "Like I said, you three do not have a choice in the matter!" Before they expired, Link said, "Damn... you... Majora... " After that, the lifeless bodies of Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Fierce Deity Link fell to the ground face first. Majora then cackled insanely as the ball of energy entered the moon. The moon's "eyes" glowed red then the whole moon turned into a huge ball of energy. Several tentacles extended out from the ball of energy and wrapped themselves around Majora's arms and legs. The tentacles then drew Majora into the ball of energy. Soon after that, a figure popped out of the top of the sphere. The entire figure solidified and its appearance was that of living rock: Its upper body had the appearance of a monster (with scary looking arms to boot), with shoulders that looked like "eyes" but they were closed, as well as a midsection that appeared to be as a dragon's mouth that was shut, and the lower section was that of the moon which Majora had become one with. What connected Majora's new "body" with the moon was a protected jewel between the moon's eyes, which were shut, as well as the mouth. This new incarnation of Majora started shooting lasers and fireballs out of its mouth, laying waste to Clock Town until it was nothing more than a wasteland. Unknown parties then moved the bodies of Sonic, Link, and Shadow to Termina Field for proper burial before their bodies could be vaporized...
