Courage Vs. Rage by Beat15
Author's Notes:
The Final Round! Link Versus Beat! How will the fight turn out? Read on to find out!
Beat slept peacefully that night. He had no dream or mental visitors this time. Beat awoke to find two people walking into the camp. Using Sheikah stealth, he slipped into the shadows. He circled around to find the two were Alice and Kai. He couldn't resist eavesdropping on them.
"So you don't have any siblings to annoy you?" asked Alice.
"No, but I wish I did. I see you and Allen getting into fights all the time, and I wish it was me arguing with someone older than me. But I'm like the second oldest here, and Richard won't fight or argue." sighed Kai.
Alice looked at him sympathetically, and then smiled. "You are part of a family. We are traveling together, having fun together, enjoying Richard's cooking together, we are doing a ton of things together that families do!" countered Alice.
"Yeah, I guess we are. I have a ton of younger siblings to look out for." laughed Kai.
"Now we gotta stay quiet, everyones asleep." warned Alice.
"Oh hey, you two were out walking too?" yawned Beat walking into camp behind them.
"Oh, Beat?!?" gasped Alice jumping into Kai.
"Hey, Alice watch it." laughed Kai. "You seemed to startle her."
"I guess I'm the troublesome sibling who always makes mischief." grinned Beat.
Kai laughed at this and gave Beat a pat on the back. He hugged Alice because she offered him, and then went to his cart to sleep.
"Could I get a hug?" asked Beat holding his arms out.
"Of course not!" growled Alice.
"That's a shame. People will get the idea that you like Kai more than everyone else here." sighed Beat.
"Uh, ummm, errr, alright one hug won't hurt." muttered Alice. She ran up to him and gave him a tight hug.
"Rest assured your secret is safe with me. I'm afraid Allen may be catching on too. During those arguments today he noticed you trying to look neutral but looking for someone to win. He may think it's Travis." whispered Beat into her ear.
"Well that's a shock." laughed Allen walking into the camp. "And here I thought it might be Kai or Travie. Stealing Beat from Ivy? I thought you had class."
"Allen!!!" growled Alice releasing Beat. "It was just a hug! He was comforting me about a problem I was having!" she roared as she jumped up and kicked Allen in the face.
"That was an excellent kick." muttered Beat. He then turned and went over to Kai's cart to talk with him.
"Hmm? You want what?" yawned Kai.
"I want you to meld these scimitars together. I think one big one will be better than two small ones." repeated Beat.
"I may be able to make it, but it won't be ready until after tomorrow." sighed Kai.
"Well with my fire magic we could work over night. Just tell me what to do." laughed Beat.
"Fine let's get started." groaned Kai as he got up.

"Damn it! He won't let anyone rest!" growled Edmund.
"It's only one left up besides him, and Kai's half asleep." replied Jacob. "Besides, they're almost done."
Edmund scowled and went to sleep.
"Baby." muttered Jacob.

Beat laughed when the blade was finished.
"Just carry it to the well or something and cool it there, until then keep the heat even or else it will lose it's shape." instructed Kai.
"Right." nodded Beat running towards the path to the cliffs. He jumped up to the spring and placed the blade into the water. As it cooled steam covered the entire area.
"Just about, done." laughed Beat.
"Impressive sword." laughed Jacob's voice.
Beat turned to face his foe, but the steam kept him hidden.
"I can't believe we had to wait for you to leave the damn camp to talk with you." growled Edmund.
"Well, either way we have a message. Beat Link to a bloody pulp tomorrow and your friend Malon will be ok. Otherwise," Jacob snickered and dragged his finger across his throat.
"Can't see you, too much steam." sighed Beat.
"I drew a line across my neck!" shouted Jacob.
"You wouldn't, that makes you look stupid." laughed Beat.
"He meant that we will kill the girl if Link isn't beaten to a pulp!" barked Edmund. "Now can we go back and get some sleep?"
"Someone needs a nap." growled Beat.
"Too true. Let's go Edmund." sighed Jacob, snapping his fingers.
Beat stood alone in the fading steam, he knew they were gone. He tried to stay strong, but he couldn't hold it in. He roared out in hatred and let a large fire erupt behind him. The flames were recorded to be seen all the way from Hyrule Castle.
"Damn it all to hell!!!!!" he roared.
Many people came to see the cause of all the fire, and found an unconscious Beat.
"What the hell happened?" muttered Link.
"Is he alright?" asked Richard shoving through the crowd.
"He's just passed out." reassured Leo. "He must have been training or something and lost control."
"If thats true then Beat must have a lot of strength inside him." sighed Kai.
"Yeah, I doubt Link will stand much of a chance." laughed Reggi.
"Hey cut it out, Link's our friend! He's got as much of a chance as Beat does!" growled Ai.
"That's right, and they both have amazing skills when it comes to fighting. Link and his masks, versus Beat's enhanced strength and speed, they both have great chances of winning." agreed Strafe.
"Everybody, be quiet. I'm trying to sleep." murmured Beat turning over.
"Heh, he just needs rest." laughed Peter.
"I don't know." muttered Richard.

When Beat woke up he felt everyone staring at him. He slowly rose and observed his surroundings. He was at camp.
"What's with the stares?" he yawned. "Is something wrong?"
"You don't remember?" gasped Allen.
"Shut up, don't remind him!" growled Alice smacking him.
"Good to see you'll be fighting." laughed Link.
Suddenly Beat remembered Jacob's threat. He pushed Link away from him and gasped.
"I need some space." he demanded getting up and running off.
"What's wrong with him?" asked Kai walking up behind them.
"Nayru only knows." sighed Richard.

Beat ran to the spring and looked for signs of the spirit he had talked to before.
"Eldin!" he called.
"He won't come." sighed Red Spirit. "He is busy trying to grant some power to Rauru." 
"How did I not sense Malon being in trouble?" snapped Beat.
"You turned down the offer." shrugged Red.
"I either beat Link down till he's barely breathing, or let Malon die! Which do I do?" gasped Beat.
"I suggest beating Link up. That way no one dies, but you may lose a little bit of his trust." suggested Red.
"That's actually a good idea." stated Beat. "Sorry Link, but you may hate me after this."

When it came time for the final round Beat had thought of the perfect plan. He'll use whatever can mess with the form Link takes. For Deku his fire, Goron will require his strength, Zora will need speed, and normal will get his blade.
"Ready?" laughed Link.
"Yeah." growled Beat.
"Fight!" shouted Ricky.
Beat immediately started with a strong kick to Link's stomach. Link slid back until he buried his blade into the ground. When he looked up he saw Beat flying at him with the blade Kai gave him drawn. Link pulled out his Goron mask and curled up to deflect the blade.
"Just like I wanted." muttered Beat as he jumped over the curled up Goron. He then sheathed the blade and planted his feet firmly on the ground. He grunted as he lifted the Goron over his head and hurled him across the flat ground.
Link had to fight hard to keep from going off the cliff. He felt his spikes grow out and dug them into the ground. When he stopped he removed the mask and tried to replace it with his Zora mask.
"I don't think so!" laughed Beat running up. Just as he was about to punch Link he vanished.
"What the?" gasped Link. He then recognized the attack and turned around to see Beat raising his fist. Link rolled to the side as Beat punched thin air.
"Damn, guess I used that trick too much." growled Beat.
"Why are you fighting like this?" Link barked.
"You said 'fight without holding back' and that's what I'm doing." laughed Beat.
"Fine." sighed Link placing the mask to his face. Link changed to his Zora form and received a quick jab in his stomach from Beat.
"You aren't that fast on land as a Zora." stated Beat. "I doubt you'll keep using that mask for long."
"I'll do what I need to!" shouted the Zora. He threw the boomerang fins at Beat who dropped to the ground and pushed off with his hands. The boomerangs whizzed past him, one just under him and the other right above him.
Beat stood up and snickered. "Almost. Just a little off."
Link tore the mask off and ran at Beat with his sword drawn and shield ready. Beat rolled his eyes and drew his blade. Link swung at Beat who blocked it effortlessly.
"Come on Link, this is too easy." laughed Beat pushing him back.
Link gritted his teeth, it was too hard. He had barely beaten Ganondorf, and he had the Master Sword then. Now he's facing someone who's physically stronger than Ganon, and faster too. But it still wasn't Beat's full strength.
"Snap out of it!" roared Beat planting a firm punch on Link's face.
Link stumbled back and had to steady himself. He looked to where Beat was and saw a strange look in Beat's eyes. It was like Beat was fighting mentally right now.
"Beat? Are you alright?" asked Link.
Beat snapped out of his thoughts. "I'm fine. But unfortunately, I can't say you'll be." growled Beat, placing his hand over his face.
"Are you ready?" shouted Link.
In response an arrow whizzed past Link, taking his hat with it.
"Hell yeah." laughed a voice not belonging to Beat. Standing where Beat once stood was a blonde boy who was slightly shorter than before.
"Who the hell are you?" growled Link.
"Why that hurts my feelings." sighed the boy. "I mean I've been fighting you the entire time."
"You aren't Beat!" shouted Link.
"Remember what I said when we met? You aren't the only one with masks." laughed Beat removing his mask.
Link gasped and then recalled the mask he had found Beat holding when they met.
"Ready?" growled Beat.
"Let's go!" shouted Link.
Link charged at Beat who deftly dodged and put his mask back on.
"'Sup?" laughed Will punching Link.
As Link stumbled back Beat removed the mask and planted a firm kick into Link's back. Link was thrown across the field several times before he was able to get the Goron mask on. When he finally did Beat had punched it as Will.
"Yeow!!!" shouted Will. "Ah my damn hand!" He removed the mask and Beat laughed lightly.
"Dear Nayru, not bad. But it's time for this to get serious." sighed Beat. He flashed a wicked grin and vanished from sight.
"What the?" gasped Link.
Beat suddenly appeared on top of the Goron Link, standing on his hands. He lowered himself and kicked the mask off of Link's face.
"Hmph, not even a challenge. You're not fighting full strength." growled Beat.
"Neither are you!" shouted Link, who panted wearily.
"Because I have to hold back if I don't want to kill you." shrugged Beat. "But you don't have anything to threaten me with."
"That's it damn it! I didn't want to use this but if I have to I will!" roared Link pulling out the Fierce Deity Mask.
Beat smiled as Link grew to an adult size. He watched the markings and armor appear.
"So you finally use it." muttered Beat.
"Last chance to give up." growled the deity.
"I'll fight thanks." challenged Beat.
He vanished and reappeared to try and kick Link's face. Link blocked the kick with his sword.
"Not good enough." stated Link.
"Just like I wanted." laughed Beat. He pulled himself up and kicked off the blade and launched himself into the air. He then drew his sword and swung down to try and hit Link.
He blocked and punched Beat aside. Beat spun on his hands and stood on his left hand as he sheathed the sword. He pushed himself up, and then smiled as flames engulfed where he was.
"Using fire to keep me away won't work." growled Link.
"Who said it was to keep you away?" whispered Beat into his ear.
Link looked and found Beat holding onto him and felt his mask being pulled off. Link grabbed Beat and threw him, but as Beat was about to hit the ground he vanished in a flurry of sparks.

"This is growing boring." moaned Edmund.
"Hmm, I must agree. They just keep blocking." sighed Jacob.
"Wait, look at that!" gasped Edmund pointing to the spiral they watched the fight through.
Link slashes the sword across Beat's chest leaving a large gash.
"Should we release the girl if Beat is he bloody pulp?" asked Edmund.
"Yes, we'd be better off if Grimsley is the injured one." laughed Jacob.

Beat fell to his knees as the pain hit him like a lead weight. He coughed up blood as he stood up. He snapped his fingers and winced as the flames surrounded him and burned the cut closed.
"Ugh, I lost too much blood." groaned Beat. "But I have to keep going."
He staggered upright and snapped his fingers making fire shoot up from several spots.
"What's that going to do?" yawned Link.
"Nothing much, just this." panted Beat punching the air.
Suddenly the fires flew at Link and engulfed him. As the flames grew the sky echoed with thunder. Soon the fire was extinguished by a downpour. Most of the crowd searched for shelter, but several stayed to watch this fight continue.
As Link finally recuperated from being set on fire, Beat came flying at him and planted a heavy punch to Link's chest plate. Link flew back and saw Beat fall. Beat tried to stand up again but slipped in the mud.
"Give up Beat." sighed Link removing the mask.
Beat then started laughing. He clenched his fists and laughed as he stood up. He showed his tearstained face to Link as he laughed.
"No, I'm not giving up." he then fell to his knees and sobbed. "I'm not giving up, not now! Not with what's at stake!" he shouted. "I won't quit!" he roared before a wall of flames erupted around him.
"What the?" gasped Link. 
After the flames died down Beat stood with his shirt tattered with singe marks all over it. He had all his scars and cuts showing to the crowd as he drew his sword. He smiled cruelly and ran at Link.
Link had to quickly put the mask back on to block the fierce assault with his most powerful form.
"I won't lose!" howled Beat hacking at Link's sword.
Link blocked most strikes only receiving a few scratches. When Beat left himself open Link had to stop his friend, so he stabbed his sword into Beat's unprotected shoulder. Beat howled in pain and fell to the ground dropping his sword.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" he cried as the rain gently fell on his blood-soaked body.
"Beat, what's gotten into you?" shouted Link grabbing him by his good shoulder.
"Leave me alone! I had to win!" sobbed Beat.
"We had the same wish!" growled Link.
"I had to save her, I had to save Ma…" started Beat before slipping unconscious.
"Ma?" stated Link confusedly.
"Well done Link." laughed a sinister voice behind him. Suddenly Jacob appeared behind him. "I doubt he'll be getting up soon."
"Well, here's the girl." sighed Edmund appearing with Malon in his arms.
Suddenly everything made sense to Link. Beat had been told to fight all out to save Malon!
"Take her." yawned Edmund dropping her onto Link's lap.
"Congratulations." laughed Jacob snapping his fingers, causing both him and Edmund to vanish.
All of the audience were silent as Link untied Malon. She was alright, but the cause of the silence was due to the injured Gerudo lying in a puddle of both mud and his own blood.
