[Princess Zelda of Hyrule (TP)]

"Putting all that effort just to lose everything... Link is so much better at this than I am..."

Zelda's gaze trailed to BOTW Zelda in silent understanding for a brief moment. It was weird to her to hear BOTW Zelda idolizing Link that way when she'd gone through the same loss. But of course, it was only to be expected. After all, she hadn't told them much about it. Perhaps they simply thought her to be a cold person. It didn't matter now, because the next thing that caught her eye was the straining of LBW Zelda's seal. “...It won't hold.” she softly remarked. 3 turns is about... 18 seconds. So not only would it not hold, but they didn't actually have enough time to talk about this. They had enough time to exxchange a few words, reposition themselves and prepare sure. But hold a conversation? Nah. Worse yet, she could tell that BOTW Zelda and LBW couldn't handle Link like this. If she continued to refuse to fight, ...she'd lose her only family, followed by herself. If she fought, she'd fell another hylian by her own hand. The choice was obvious, yet vile.

Zelda grit her teeth and cast her gaze down toward her hands as she readied her bow, curses directed at the ground she walked upon and the goddesses who she felt abandoned her racing through her mind as she lifted and took aim...

((Zelda is activating her final smash; Fusilade of Light. She gains a +4 to her dexterity modifier for 1 turn and can use her Light Arrows 3 times as a single action without incurring its normal cooldown.))

...She then began drawing the bow and letting loose powerful light arrows once, twice, thrice... in quick succession with expert precision.

She then redrew a new arrow and quickly slipped it into her bow for a fourth... and final shot.

And once she was finished single-mindedly launching light arrows at Link in a vicious fury that reflected the light's burning nature, she conjured a large, 20 foot long manifestation of the triforce under Link's... presumably falling body, white hot electricity racing up him as she attempted to use its power to perhaps violently purify him of whatever dark magics were affecting him!

...Before abruptly twirling about as a tiny magical whirlwind enveloped her and then vanishing. A moment later she abruptly teleported onto Link such that they briefly shared a space in the universe, a fact that would be quickly corrected by him being very violently shunted away from her as she re-appeared.

“Alright.” Zelda nodded, preparing to conjure a sealing spell when the fight got so grizzly she had to avert her eyes. Her childhood friend reincarnated and her distant descendent stabbing each other so violently, she had to avert her eyes. Too bad she did, for she missed the wind-up of Link’s chest-high wave of magic rocking outwards towards her to slice into her indiscriminately and remorselessly.

(Zelda's dodge of Charged Magical Spin Attack auto-fails; Takes 28% damage)

“Eyaaaa!” Zelda flew backwards, tumbling head over heals across the battlefield before skidding to a stop. She left a streak of red across the floor.
“Huh?” Inspecting her chest with her hands left it red. That wasn’t a good sign. Still, in her wounded state, she was not going to count herself out of the fight. She could barely stand up, let along charge in sword shining either, but she had to do Something. Inspecting her harp, somehow the strings were missed in the slash. Some shield they proved to be.

“Just... Hope my lungs... Aren’t punctured.” She took a deep breath and cast another spell.

She managed to clear the last note before succumbing to a coughing fit. She just hope that did something to help those who could do more. But that was not all she was to do.

Clasping her hands and closing her eyes, Zelda began to pray.

(Link is on a Chaotic Evil Rampage and as such; his alignment will be treated as Chaotic Evil for the purposes of attack effects.)

5rcuSYOHp_1d20 (Power Madness Check - Fail)

Even though the warrior's sense of reason was once again suppressed as another wave of violent chaos washed over him, thankfully Link was very much still restrained within the confines of BOTW Zelda's sacred seal. Within the divine dimension, the Hylian grasped at his head and palm, screaming in anguish like a wounded animal as he lashed back and forth against the confines of his prison with little to no avail.

Tatl allowed herself a sigh of relief, seeing the hero finally and safely contained. Another layer of sealing spell was even tacked on by another of the roughed Zeldas, so that meant it had to hold, right? "Thank goodness. Maybe he'll settle down if we-"

“...It won't hold.”

"What?"

The flitting yellow fairy seemed to freeze up mid-air, watching in abject horror as the twilight princess drew back her blinding bow of light and let loose shot after shot. Each light arrow, empowered by the divine might of the Triforce, had little difficulty in piercing through BOTW Zelda's seal orb. Hit after hit blew through the Fierce Deity, causing him to stumble back with a roar as each blow sent ripples of holy light burning through his body.

<~DING DING DING~>
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"

The Sacred Seal shuddered with each Light Arrow that blazed through it, causing the entire dimension within to shudder and shake. Surprisingly, it managed to still hold its integrity, possibly due to the expert marksmanship and control behind each attack. 

"Hrgh...Hahh..." Link's ephemeral pants echoed as he collapsed to a knee. A force like that might've slain a lesser man, but was he even a "man" any longer in this form? It is said that those cursed with the Triforce of Power are doomed to eternal immortality, and this might've been doubly so for the corrupted triangle that had its grips over Link's soul. That myth was certainly being put to the test, as before the Fierce Deity could even spend a moment to breathe, they were once again the victim of a violent onslaught as the despondent Zelda attempted to purify his being with her Triforce.

"G̶̟̟͙͓̦͇̈́Ụ̸̔͒Ů̸͖͝H̶̝̀̈́̇Ú̵̪͖̦̯̥R̶̺̤͋̇̇̅̿̃͘H̵͇͓̥̣̥͇̓Á̷̛̭̳̗͎̦̣̐̆̉̈͝A̸̼͖̗͊͛̈͛̚Ȁ̴͇̦̃͒̒̊Ầ̸̧̛͙̣̠̟͆̋̈́̀A̸̤͔͔͒͆̃͂̽̏Á̴̢̼̣̯͔̍̀͠Ą̸̡͓̭̥̼͉̾͂̀͗A̵̜̼͔̿̄̎̀A̵̻̻̬͇͐̾͜Ạ̷̧͆̈̈́̅̾͐Â̶̡͔̩̯̪͔͆͐̇̾̎͂ͅĄ̴̟̦͇͕̘̀͂͛́A̶͇̬̋̂̐̇͝͝Ǎ̸̢̜̦͉̑̂͂͑͑͋Ŕ̵̡͇͇̆R̴̳̞̳͔̜̃ͅ!̷͉̤̌̌͑!̶̼͒̈͛̈͊͋͝!̷̣̓̈́̂̍̌͜!̷̗̥̹͈̇̑̄̆̏͝͝!̴̢͔̳̘̑!̵̞̺͖̮̔̈̓̈̒͝!̷̛̲̥̣̳͗̅̕!̶͉̈͋̓́̃̀!̸̱̽"

A blood-curdling scream ripped through the air. Falling to both knees, Link's gaping maw let loose a guttural roar of agony as white hot electricity ran up and across his form. For moments at a time, the Hylian's body was completely obscured as blinding flashes of light enveloped his form. White flashed against instances of black, all aspects of color and evil being forcibly ripped away from his form

And as her final explosive attack blasted his sealed orb away like a pinball, for the briefest moment it might've appeared as if the boy's face was being peeled and ripped away by the light within. It was by no means a clean or pretty image, as even when obscured as a silhouette behind flashes, it was a horrifying picture--tendrils of what could easily be confused magic or the skin on his motionless head slowly and painfully tearing off of the mask's shape.

Tatl cried out as well, from emotional pain rather than physical. As he deafening rings continued to chime, the fairy resorted to forcefully bopping her whole body into TP Zelda's head. Considering the small fairy didn't weigh much, it likely wouldn't do any more than annoy or bump the princess's skull. "Stop! You're killing him!" She pleaded upon recognizing that her attempts to be physically forceful weren't making any headway. What was the point of saving Link if they were going to kill him in the process?!

...

But curiously enough, despite the incredible agony and violent bouts of purification that Link had undergone, he hadn't fallen completely prone. And as those purifying beams of light began to fade, a sickly kaleidoscopic miasma of color began to once again seep out of his left hand, the flickering red triangle still visible through his gauntlet. The chaotic mist began to drift up to the mask loosely hanging off of his head, reattaching it like reforming sinew, slowly... but steadily.

[Princess Zelda (LBW)]

Zelda felt a great deal of pride as she could feel the pure evil that Link had been expelling made him the ideal target for her assault, as Zelda smiled gently. "I-it's...It's work--" "It wont Hold." TP Zelda's interruption, However, Shattered LBW Zelda's entire self, As she gasped and looked to TP Zelda, As if she had uttered 'We have lost' in the middle of a war. "W-what do you mean?! I-it-- It has to hold, it WILL hold, I-it...It..." Zelda uttered softly, Gritting her teeth before...Gently losing her reflex. She was...Right.

LBW Zelda was Weak. Especially here-- Compared to her sisters. She had yet to even master the basics of the power of her lineage-- No Hylia's Magic was usable by her. That Seal-- For as perfect a target it had selected, Was absolutely Worthless if it was being cast by someone who could not contain it. Zelda's face began to twitch, Her eyes welling up with Tears, as she sputtered, and fell to her knee's.

"...N...No....NO! I-i Cant-- W-we cant kill him, W-we cant!! W-we need link, We-- W-we....!!" Zelda screamed, Tears running down her face as it fell into Despair. "H...HYLIA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, *DO SOMETHING!* DONT JUST STAND ASIDE AND LET YOUR CHOSEN HERO-- OUR HERO, LOSE HIMSELF TO CHAOS!! D-DONT FORCE US TO DO THIS!!!" Zelda yelled out to the heavens, As if screaming in the face of Hylia herself. Zelda was desperate for a Miracle to happen now...

...And her Prayers fell to silence. Zelda's eyes blanked after a few seconds from her screams, As she realized...She was not going to get a Miracle today.

Zelda looked up to the utterly pained and morphed visage that was Link in Horror, Her eyes still weeping as she winced, Standing up and Approaching.

"...L-link...Link, Please. I know you are strong...You are strong enough to brave the darkness of Lorule, And grant the Wish from the Triforce with your heart. Link...Dont beg for us! Dont beg for Hylia! Link....FIGHT THIS FOR YOURSELF!! YOU *ARE* STRONGER THAN THIS!!"

Zelda begs for Link to Awaken.

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule (TP)]

Zelda's head jerked slightly a couple of times as Tatle smacked into it, her gaze shifting onto the fairy without turning her head away from Link. Tatl had some of her attention, at least. Zelda's bow drifted down into an idle position. For a good moment she was just kind of silent, a bitter grimace on her face. At least LBW Zelda was making some sense... She probably would've found the decrying of their patron goddess horrific if she hadn't gone through a similar loss of faith herself quite some time ago. ...So they wanted to talk? This seemed like an awful idea to her, but she wracked her head for a way she could make this work. After a few moments, she... put her bow away. She then channeled lunar energy through herself, performing what looked like a little shuffle as she directed the energy toward... SS Zelda!

((TP Zelda taps her Lunar Wing to heal SS Zelda for 25 HP and reset her cooldowns... at the cost of 25 of TP Zelda's own HP))
((TP Zelda taps the Triforce of Courage to ignore her Lunar Wing's cooldown))

She then approached LBW Zelda and performed the same technique on her. As they stood beneath the conjured moonlight of her spell, TP Zelda produced none other than a megaelixir. Popping it open, she delicately offered it up to LBW Zelda's lips. “...Drink this. You're badly hurt.” she softly instructed. There were a lot of things she wanted to say in that moment. She wanted to tell them not to sacrifice themselves trying to save Link. That if it came down to it, it would be merciful to put him down if the alternative was allowing him to turn into a monster that threatened everyone. She had the time to too, and yet she didn't bother. Perhaps it was how heavy her body was starting to feel as she discreetly tapped into her own life force to rescue her relatives, or perhaps it was the creeping darkness whispering maddening thoughts into her ears.

((TP Zelda taps her Lunar Wing to heal LBW Zelda for 25 HP and reset her cooldowns... at the cost of her own HP))
((TP Zelda administers a megaelixir to LBW Zelda, healing her for 50 HP and superfluously reducing her cooldowns by 2))

Either way, she forced herself to stand tall and pretend nothing was wrong, though her long ears drooped in distress as she did so. And once she was finished treating the Zeldas, she forced herself to march back to Link and take point directly in front of his seal, so that she would be the first thing in his path when it broke. She would buy the others the time they needed to speak. Her hand gripped the pommel of her sword as if readying to draw it. Yet, she didn't.

"... I already have this-..." Zelda began before shaking her head. Nah, maybe reinforcing the shield would help. There has to be some way to get through to him. All they need to do is get through to him and-wait, it won't hold? Zelda looked back before TP Zelda started just... blasting Link with divine power and force. "St-stop it! How will we reach him if we keep-..." Zelda began but the fairy had it covered and something caught her attention... His face was peeling? That was... not a normal reaction.

Oh, that energy and power... a great darkness was forming... That's not good. She has to do something... She clenched her hand a bit. What was she even fighting for here? She knew this wasn't her Link... Yet she was trying to save him anyway and one of them was giving up... She won't give up though. She's far too stubborn. Alright, time to see if she can reach him and get him to see the less painful light.

"... I... I know what it means to lose everything. I failed my Kingdom because I was not able to fulfill my duty and it paid the price. I lost so many people that were close to me, so many memories. My friends, my father, he almost paid the price too for my own weakness..." She admits with tears. "Ganon laid waste to everything I cared for and I could do nothing but watch! I almost fell into despair but he was by my side... he gave me the courage I needed to push on. The courage to find the power and wisdom that was inside me and prevent the disaster from getting worst. If it wasn't for that Hyrule would of been doomed..." Zelda continued with a deep breath.

"That same courage is inside you! Just because this destruction is here does not mean nothing can be saved! We are few from our kingdom but that is still worth protecting! The remnants still remain and I know you must have others important to you! You might of lost sight of that in the darkness but clearly you must still see it or you would not be suffering! Find that courage and live on for what is lost and who remains! It's hard, I know... but if anyone can, it's you! So snap out of it and come back to us!" Zelda finished her speech.

[TartoonHand94]

To focus on prayer in a time of high-stakes crisis took a lot of concentration from Zelda. This proved to not be enough to drown out Link’s blood-curdling scream. She tightened her eyes closed in what was presumably resistance, but might have been fear for what she might see in the blinding light, bright even behind her eyelids. The horrors befalling Link right now, she could only try not to imagine.

(Zelda charges Column of Light once again, prepared to unleash it in case of emergency)

“...It won't hold.”

"Stop! You're killing him!"

This blew Zelda’s eyelids open like broken window shutters in a hurricane, exposing her to a sight that drew tears from them. Just in time to hear LBW Zelda cry her name.

“Yes, my child. I hear you.” Zelda wiped a tear with remorse for that whom she is no longer. Looking up to the sky, at where she might have once been, from whence to look down upon the world, she did not see her descendant of the Twilight directing healing energy at her.
Zelda gasped in surprise and rose back to her feet, feeling mysteriously rejuvenated like that fall a moment ago had not occurred. She looked toward TP Zelda in gratitude, albeit confused gratitude as she then approached the face of Link’s prison. Wait, if he breaks out…Your sacrifice will not be in vain. No one’s sacrifice will be in vain. Not ours, and not Link’s! Hang tight, LBW Zelda, a miracle is on its way.

Zelda put her strings to her Goddess Harp again and backed up BotW Zelda’s speech with musical accompaniment.

(Zelda casts Nayru's Wisdom upon Zelda, Zelda and Zelda, increasing their Wisdom stat by vyvww0bQp_1d100%, thus their Wisdom stats are x1.69 for the next turn and mods increase accordingly. Nice.)

Struck with divine inspiration, Zelda then began to strum an original tune, and borrow lyrics from the speech she just witnessed.

At first, it seemed like the aggressive posturing of the twilight princess so soon after attempting to take Link's life only further aggravated the agony he was in. The Fierce Deity mask further affixed its dark tendrils around the cursed warrior's face. Just as it was about to complete its restored fusion with the boy The words of the Hyrule princesses from two separate eras sparked a moment of hesitation, seemingly showing recognition to their desperate and heartfelt pleas. The lights of the Triforce of Wisdom's magic crashed against that of the cursed power while their hearts reached out to him; and accompanied by the goddess' own song that hung into the air, a change seemed to overcome their aggressor.

Just as the final openings in the sinew-like connections were about to seal, the Fierce Deity's gauntlets shoved their fingers between them--prompting an unearthly shriek to pierce the air. "RGHHAAAAAH! HRAAAAAH!!" The Fierce Deity--No: Link's muffled roars could finally be heard beneath the dark magic suppressing his sanity. Clambering to his feet with heavy steps, he drunkedly stumbled back and forth--pushing and clawing and tearing at his face like a wild beast ripping at a pool of tar. It was a disturbing sight even for Tatl, watching Link essentially trying to rip his own face off: But the Fairy forced herself to watch and jingle with cheer.

"Come back to us Link! You can do it!"

The external conflicting warrior looked almost as if he would run right into TP Zelda before managing to stop himself. The mask was now barely holding on and the Hylian's true face could barely be made out from within the miasmic darkness desperately counteracting his efforts. The cursed Triforce of Power upon his hand hissed dangerously, as if trying to burn right through his hand in an effort to stop him.

"HEIYAAAH!"

With one final surge, the Fierce Deity's mask came flying off as another flash of light consumed the Hylian. Another pillar, this time of light, consumed the rejected Fierce Deity once more and for a single moment it looked as if the cursed red triangle shattered with its chains on the Hylian.

When the princesses could see once more: They'd be met with the welcoming sight of the Hero of Time motionless at TP Zelda's feet--his yellow fairy worriedly resting on the comforting forest green hat the boy was once again sporting.

The Fierce Deity mask laid facedown in the distance, once again a harmless accessory.

Or at least that's what it seemed before a rattling noise began to echo from the item. A red aura coated the mask as it began to rise in the air, a hauntingly familiar mark was visible on its forehead as the dark energy began to billow from its orifices and encircle the mask. It was the mark of the Cursed Triforce of Power: One that was notably missing from the Young Hylian now...

Everyone! Something is happening.

You have 1 turn cycle to prepare.

[Princess Zelda of Hyrule (TP)]

TP Zelda dropped into a crouch next to Link and began scooping him into her arms, pulling him beneath the dark cloak she wore where she held him against her body, cradling him protectively in one arm. “...I'm sorry.” she softly remarked as she picked him up, either to Tatl or Link--it wasn't clear, considering only one of them was awake to hear it. A moment later though, she produced a red hot shot and used it on Link in an attempt to save his life now that he was free of the mask's control. There might be a little pinch from the shot, but well--it was a small price to pay when there was a decent chance it would bring him back from the edge.

((Red Hot Shot used on Link))

That wasn't to say it would leave him fighting fit, though. The Red Hot Shot was designed to keep you alive. It was no replacement for actual healing magic, medicine, or rest. A single good hit would be enough to send him right back over the edge and then some, and fighting while disabled and no doubt exhausted would be incredibly dangerous even if he were conscious and coherent, which wasn't guaranteed. And while she didn't mind toughing it out and carrying Link to protect him ...there was no amount of toughness that would allow her to use her bow without both hands free. And as it so happened, she was just becoming aware of the mask moving on its own. Zelda knew then she wasn't done. She could've fled with Link but doing so meant abandoning her ancestors, something she wasn't willing to do. And that wasn't even getting into the possible harm of letting the mask roam free.

She needed a solution fast so that she could protect everyone, and only one solution was appearing to her. One that certainly did the job, but also one she had previously ruled out for personal reasons. Yet... Who was she to say no? What did her feelings matter given the circumstances? She lived to serve, and right now that meant gripping the cookpot hidden on her person in one hand and Link in the other. “...Please forgive me. ...I love you.” TP Zelda all but whispered, turning away from the others for a moment of relative privacy as she tapped the cookpot's power and pulled Link into her, gobbling him up as gently as she could manage while still rushing the process and sealing him within her tummy, where he would be safest.

((Hungry Cookpot used on Link))

Zelda then moved to hold her newly round belly with both hands. If Link were awake, he could hear her heart's frenzied beating above him, and feel the attempts at comforting as she affectionately rubbed at where she knew his back was. Emotionally overwhelmed, her mind raced to process the situation. Alright, so she was pregnant. ...That would be hard to explain to Midna later. In truth, without the intense stressors of imminent death threatening her she probably wouldn't have found this so upsetting. It was mostly the fact that she felt she hadn't been able to do it on her own terms that bothered her. But battles didn't wait for one to take her time and carefully explain everything and ask for permission and all that jazz she really would've preferred.

As Zelda comforted her belly and its occupant, she turned back around and her gaze rose back to the floating mask. Her mind habitually turned to prayer. Though she had lost her faith in Hylia's ability to protect her, her prayers served a secondary purpose in helping to calm herself. “...Hylia grant me the courage to face these new trials with dignity, and the strength to protect my family, both present and future.” Zelda softly requested, her gaze trailing back to her stomach at the mention of future family. It was partially hidden by her bulky cloak, but her mind's eye had a clear vision of who she was talking about. What was also partially hidden was the way the triforce of wisdom and courage began glowing on one of her hands, visible only slightly from certain angles through a gap in her cloak. She was mentally preparing for what she assumed was the fight ahead. Her stomach would slow her down slightly, but she had hope that if she were clever enough she could remain an effective fighter.

"Oh, he is not going to be happy when he wakes up." Tatl remarked, watching as the cloaked princess turned away from view with the Hylian in her arms before returning to sight one Link short and a distended belly up. Now wasn't the time to mull over Link's embarrassing traumas though. Tatl could barely keep herself afloat amidst the waves of malice rocking against her as the corrupted mask pulsed its chaos through the air. Even the ever-present light that typically shrouded her form grew a bit dimmer. There was something categorically wrong about this thing; as if it were the unnatural incarnate.

Fierce Chaos
HP: 9999999999
Status: Immortal

In a flash, a tendril of kaleidoscopic distortions snaked out from the mask--slamming right into Zelda (SS)! The writhing torrent of negative energy continued to flow around and past the incarnated goddess though, to similarly buffet and surround the princess of calamity, the master sword wielding Zelda, and finally the princess of twilight as well.

Everyone! The chaotic ferocity has unleashed its overwhelming power with little remorse. You must make a WIS roll to withstand the tides; however, those who fail to roll a 20+ will be drowned under the malefic forces -- having their HP reduced to 1%!!!!

This was overwhelming power, bolstered by chaotic evils and fierce powers unknown to this realm. And yet, even if they were on the brink of being consumed by this malevolent manifestation's presence, the tiniest glint of what could only be described as hope could be felt within the hearts of each princess...

"H...HYLIA, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, *DO SOMETHING!* DONT JUST STAND ASIDE AND LET YOUR CHOSEN HERO-- OUR HERO, LOSE HIMSELF TO CHAOS!! D-DONT FORCE US TO DO THIS!!!"

“Yes, my child. I hear you.” Zelda wiped a tear with remorse for that whom she is no longer.

“...Hylia grant me the courage to face these new trials with dignity, and the strength to protect my family, both present and future.”
