Welcome to Gaia! ::

The heroes recover 5HP.

Ganondorf's face contorts to the most malicious expression imaginable. It's probably one of his nicer ones, though. He slowly begins to stalk towards the heroes, unsheathing his black blade from his side. The thing looks like a greatsword or something that would require two hands to wield, but he easily hefts it in one. Cross takes a moment to think about what to do, but he knows he doesn't have time to waste. He casts Sharpen in hopes of at least starting the coming battle off right. He has a feeling there's no way they'd be just escaping now... Ganondorf is too strong and too fast to try running way from.

=Benjamin looks between Cross and Zeke. Those two have got the highest attack power, so it's going to be them if any good hits get in. With Pray at least they should be much stronger.=

Feeling himself take a massive hit from Cross landing on him, Zeke fell to his knees. Stumbling a bit to get back up, Zeke leaned on his staff as he looked at Ganondorf. This guy had just dodged all of their attacks and made them look completely pathetic.

Extending his palm towards Ganondorf, Zeke called forth the sparks again. They danced along his forearm and towards his palm, gathering into the center of his palm... Firing it off at Ganondorf, sure that he'd probably just dodge it again, Zeke had hoped to stall him in hopes of something... "Jolt!" He called out, almost shrilly, but it was enough to display his lack of confidence...

With gleeful laughter, Ganondorf doesn't even bother dodging or blocking Zeke's strike. As the electricity spreads over his black armor, he doesn't so much as flinch. It had to have done some damage, even minimalistic, but he doesn't even act like anything happened. He takes one last step towards the two and unleashes two blows, both held back. He has a malicious grin on his face as the spell caster falls unconscious and Cross is left too weak to stand. Cross looks at the other two helplessly as he frantically thinks about what he can do, but...his arms refused to move. He can't get up. He can't do anything. With a broadening smirk, Ganondorft's body surges with power once more as his attack capabilities quintuple with Goddess Power [Turn 2].

Cross: 1/150 HP, 36/55 MP, 22/24 SP, 6/10 TP, weakened, paralyzed
Zeke: unconscious
Benjamin: unconscious

=It's a party, and Benjamin wasn't invited! He'd snore if this were a snooze. Hey! That's my blade of grass! Is this what dreams are made of? One. Two. Three. Four. One. Two. Three. Four. There are no sheep when you don't sleep. All this meaningless jabber emphasizes what's going on in the unconscious state. Benjamin's out cold and memories are being all jumbled up.=

Unconscious, or perhaps merely dead... Zeke wasn't sure, but he was aware of what was going on around them. Perhaps he was dead, or maybe it was just that he couldn't open his eyes. Whichever the case, Zeke was aware that they were not in any more danger.

Feeling his body moving, or wait - did he actually feel that or imagine that? Once again, he dismissed that thought, because constantly debating on whether or not he was alive wasn't going to help any. If he was somehow alive, keeping attentive to his surroundinds would help, he thought.

Suddenly, light appeared in his eyes... No, it wasn't in his eyes, it was through his eyelids. Sitting up, almost mechanically, but falling back down, having some sensation that sitting up and losing balance would not be the most apt thing.

Opening his eyes, Zeke saw a beautiful, yet oddly familiar face over himself and Ben. This woman's looks were completely incomparable to the women back home, she was vastly superiour... A true beauty... Something about her told Zeke that the beauty not only existed on the outside, but he just saw her and there was no way he could rectify that logically.

"I think I'm in love..." Zeke mumbled, hoping nobody heard what he just said, realizing he just spoke his thoughts aloud.

Knowing the heroes are too weak to do much of anything, Zelda keeps up the pace with Epona. She knows Link will catch up soon enough, and she can easily enough pay them no mind. She's concentrating on just getting away. As strong as her magic is, she can't fight Ganon and defend the three at the same time. She even makes quick glances at the back of her right hand, checking the Triforce symbols. She can see that Link and Ganondorf are still fighting.

As Cross begins to feel better, he sits up and begins looking around. They've already exited Border Town. "Where to?" He looks up as he hears the female voice. Still half-dazed... "I think Peach's castle is our best bet..." He hears Zelda sigh. "I'm new to this dimension. Point me in the right direction." Weakly, Cross manages to point in the direction he remembers coming from. He only hopes he's right. "I think it's that way." Zelda nods. "Okay." She glances at her hand again. No change. With a sigh, she changes Epona's direction but not her pace. Cross takes a moment to appraise the others and himself. There doesn't appear to be any serious damage. Okay. They survived this one.
