Link stood on top of the golden tipped tower, the tallest tower in the castle. He saw the slowly advancing enemy as he took out his bottle of Perthemian ale and started pouring a sip down his throat. The enemy was yet still however miles away and it would take another few hours to get here. He was actually beginning to fear the upcoming fight. He knew they would almost certainly all be killed. He began to look around the enemy not knowing exactly what he was searching for. But then he saw it, a force of about five hundred men was aligned and ready for battle. They were carrying the flag of Perthemia. Link revognized this by examining the simble on his bottle, it mached the flag they were carrying. Link was almost happy when he saw the force that would help them battle, but against the hate that was massing towards them he had great fear.
The soldiers were already aligned against the walls of Hyrule Market. Some were hiding in the rubble that was formed by the previous attack against the market. Link then noticed the thing that would cause great fear. A demon was being chained along with the army by trolls. Even though there were five trolls and they were fully grown they had a very difficult time trying to keep the demon to follow them.
The king had put Michael in charge of the defense for the city even though they would probably not live through it.
Link was getting a little tense though, he had only once faught in a massive battle such as this but never as likely to be killed as this. He had never thought this would happen before.
"Ready for combat?" asked Michael coming up to the top of the tower.
"I don't know," said Link, "It's just I had never been in an army before... "
"Well it's about time you fight in a true battle!" said Michael putting his hand on Link's shoulder. "Yeah, I remember when my father and I faught in wars like this. I fell in love with it immediately... fighting to defend my own country... maybe that's why I do not fear death."
Link had thought for a moment. It was very likely that he was going to die along with everyone else in the city.
"Why aren't the people in fear?" asked Link.
"Because they have morality," said Michael.
"Why?"
"Because the captains have morality as well. If the captains cower in fear they will lose hope and morality making it easier to defeat us. But if you stand with courage they will stand along with you."
"I understand," said Link. "The soldiers are as good as their captain."
"Precisely! Oh... Open the gates!" he commanded the soldiers at the wall.
The soldiers lowered the drawbridge and let through the Perthemian force.
"I'll talk to you in a minute!" said Michael running down to meat the leader.
"It's about time you arrive!" said Michael shaking the leader's hand.
"Just like you," said the commander, "always impatient." The commander smiled at Michael and he smiled back.
"You had better get to your posts," said Michael getting onto the front wall looking at the advancing enemy.
The army was nearing them, Link had always prayed this moment would never happen.
The enemy had reached the wall. Without hesitation like previously Michael commanded the soldiers to fire at will. Then the Perthemians from behind were commanded to fire their own arrows.
"Fire!" commanded the leading troll. Each one of the thirty thousand soldiers fired arrows at the Perthemian soldiers almost completely taking them out.
"Launc catapults!" commanded Michael and behind the ruined city there were 15 catapults locked and loaded. They fired wiping out hundreds of the enemy soldiers. This was a pretty effective way of destroying the enemy.
"We need more rubble!" said Link from behind slicing a rope that was keeping a catapult's load down.
"Enter the city!" commanded the troll again and war towers were slowly being pushed along the floor until they reached the wall. A long bridge dropped releasing hundreds of goblins. They attacked the soldiers on the wall and then worked their way down.
"Take command at will!" shouted Michael. The soldiers were now firing arrows and slicing the incoming goblins.
"Now!" yelled Link over the chanting of the goblins.
Catapults released and in the catapults were a barrage of bombs.
The troll looked up at the doom that awaited him and plenty of other soldiers. The bombs fell hard onto their forces and exploded. Plenty of Dia's army was depleted from that force of bombs.
Then five goblins took out each of Hyrule's catapults. Michael did the same and now they had no more unfair advantage... Except for the dragons and the demon. The dragons were finally released upon the market. They caused great havoc clambering ontop of the ruins and burning hell onto the soldiers.
"Release... the force!" commanded a troll that was instantly killed by a barrage of arrows. The demon was released from it's chains and it walked straight for the city. It bashed down the drawbridge with ease as many of the soldiers cowared in fear.
"Stand to your posts!" commanded Michael.
The demon stopped dead infront of him and attacked him with another hellfire.
"You wanna fight bitch!? Bring it on!" said Michael infuriated. This truly was the hardest battle Michael had ever faced before.
The demon expanded to it's full size and released it's hellfire once again. Michael quickly spun out of the way as the spell past him. He got up and pulled out an arrow and shot the demon in the eye. The demon picked at the arrow in pain as his right eye was blinded. Unbeknownst to the demon though Michael was on top of him. The demon quickly grabbed Michael off him. He was being held up in front of the demon. Michael thought quickly and pulled out his bow and an arrow again and shot the demon in the remaining eye. The demon was now blind. And since it had only terrific eyesight but a bad sense of smell and hearing it woul be a piece of cake defeating it. Michael slid below the demon and stuck his sword in it's stomache. It stumbled backward's in pain. It threw Michael aside as it was starting to get pissed off. Michael ran up to it's open mouth and stabbed it in the roof. The demon fell down... dead.
The few dragons that remained were trying to break through the castle walls. Nothing. The dragon's flew back to the enemy that had advanced towards the defending gate that lead to Hyrule Castle. This time there were two hundred men guarding the gate but ten thousand goblins trying to attack.
The other few soldiers managed to kill the last dragons except one. The last dragon was heading straight for Link. His eyes went wide as he realized this would be his last moment on earth. Then all of a sudden Amnir's dragon came from behind Link and brought down the dragon with terrifying ease. It attacked the remaining goblins and finished them off.

"Sir," said the monster nervously. "Your army is... destroyed.
Dia' raised in hate and terror. "Your army that had been created by the most powerful ways possible was destroyed! You shall pay Andalo!" Dia' took out his mace but before he could lower it the monster said something.
"We might have lost the battle but we have found the stone!" he said in a cowardice voice.
Dia' stopped breathing. The stone was finally his... now Hyrule's last days would for sure come.
"Bring the stone to me this instant!" commanded Dia' giddily.
The monster walked up the Dia', kneeled down, and in a ravelled piece of cloth he unveiled the doom of Hyrule.
"Endfall will be mine!" said Dia as he put the stone in his hand. A large flow of air that was gold spiraled around him and then settled. Dia's true form was now unveiled. He was no longer the shadow like he was before but a man. Dark skinned and with a sword as large as a full grown human. He stood nine feet tall and eager for battle.
"Should I command the soldiers for battle?" asked the monster.
"No," said Dia', they will no doubtedly come to us...
