Author Note: The title has been change due to a confusion while translating, the previous title had no meaning, the idea came from the spanish phrase "vínculados a estar juntos de nuevo" (linked to be together again), so I decided to change it so there wouldn't be further confusions, also I re-wrote this chapter around 3 times, so there were some grammars mistakes (like ever xD) that I took care of. Now all I can say is, enjoy and review!

The lost link

You are a child who waits to be rescued by a big brother that won't go home. Maquiel's words were hard and cold, they were like a slap on the face, but just maybe it was what I needed. I couldn't depend on Pit to keep me posted where the smashers would be any longer; he knew I was against him now.

It had been three weeks since the last time I saw them. Yoshi was recovering slowly, but he was definitely better. He walked around the house waiting for the chance to see Robert, while Link waited for me to make up my mind.

I was weak, I knew that much, but I couldn't remain doing nothing, I had to do something, even if it was little I could do. I tried to think on something I could do. I looked at Yoshi and I detected on his eyes the despair of seeing Robert once again. I gulped, I was not strong enough to withstand Robert's power, but at least I could give this sad Yoshi what he wanted.

I broke the hug that I kept with Link and I sat on the couch as I concentrated. I had one thing I could use. I could track Robert.

I remembered how Robert's soul felt like and how it was like; no matter how much he changed his soul must have remained the same.

I heard footsteps and I sensed it was Yoshi the one who was walking towards me. He was about to say something, but Link must have kept him quiet, because there was no thought interrupting me.

"I found him." I said as I got up.

"Finally!" Zelda said approving my actions. "About time you made up your mind!"

"I might not be able to beat him…" I said while closing my fist "but Yoshi, you must talk to Robert!"

Yoshi was still exhausted and confused, but my words cheered him up as his eyes started burning on determination. He pointed to his saddle with his face.

"Hop on you two!"

I couldn't believe I was actually riding Yoshi. As soon as I sat on the saddle with Link at my back Yoshi ran past the open door as he waited for my directions.

"To the right!"

"Yoshi!"

It was strange to think of riding Yoshi, Robert would have never let any of us hope on his back while in Yoshi's form, but of course they were very different.

I focused on Robert's location; I had to use my whole concentration in order to keep aware of where he was. It was 6:00 P.M by now and in winter time twilight cross Santiago around that hour. The sun light was fading as Robert's soul became every second brighter. Yoshi was surprisingly faster than what I thought; I had to hold tight around his neck in order to avoid falling. We were heading outside the city, near of a valley where industries used to be put as nobody lived around.

When I opened my eyes the day was turned into pure night, illuminated by stars and moonlight. Robert was in front of us and his face was stunned by Yoshi's presence.

Link and I dismounted him as we stared at Robert. We were inside a forest, in a clear, there was only grass around our feet, the trees surrounded us, but there was a circle area like a ring that gave us space to move freely.

"Yoshi…" he said stunned.

"Brother…"

I glared at Robert.

"Robert, Yoshi wanted to see you." I said firmly as I stepped forward "You owned him an explanation four years ago. Better later than never."

"How?" he asked shocked "How come you are back?"

"I don't know myself." Yoshi replied "But I am, and I wanted to see you."

Robert stared at me, his eyes revealed to be annoyed. He raised his hand against me and Link covered me immediately as he drew his sword to show that he was going to protect me.

"It's too late." He said "Not only I don't deserve to hold Yoshi's soul, but I have become something terrible. I can't do it again!"

"I haven't forgotten." Yoshi said severe, as he caught Robert's attention "I never forgot the moment you made your choice, the moment you betrayed me. I will never forgive you Robert… I'm not able to, because I can see that your eyes still lust for that power, is that why you have sold yourself to Lucario?"

I didn't know how Yoshi was aware about Robert's and Lucario's relation, but he did, and he made Robert flinch. His eyes were puzzled, his body was frozen, and he was confused and terrified by Yoshi's words. Yoshi's eyes became full of sorrow.

"I can't let you remain this way Robert, I can't lose you again! I slept for four years; I lost too much time wondering in the darkness what I did wrong. I felt guilty for being unable to stop you…"

"Stop it."

"I always thought I did something wrong, that I was too weak for you."

"Stop it!" He shouted as a tear came by.

"But it wasn't me… it was your own unhappiness."

Robert didn't say it for a third time. Yoshi was thrust against a tree. He yelled as Robert's hand burnt on blue aura and his breathe started to turn irregular, but it wasn't because he was tired, he was just shocked, he was so shocked that he lost his ability to breathe as usual.

I gulped and I walked towards him, glaring at him. His eyes were filled in suffering and sorrow, there was something wrong with them, something inside Robert was broken into pieces, and those pieces tried to joint once again, but that process hurt.

"Pit told me something happened to you." I said as Robert glared at me with hatred "You were becoming warmer and optimistic… until it happened. I have no idea what it is, but you feel it was because of lacking of power, don't you? So when Lucario offered you to give you power, you couldn't resist. You wanted so badly to be able to get back what you lost… but you can't Robert! All you can do is let it go and move forward!"

"Shut it!" he said as he grabbed me with his hands "Melanie, if I haven't killed you right now is because I still hold some affection towards you for the time we spent together in the past."

I didn't answer, my eyes were giving Robert the whole answer and he threw me away. I landed on the grass as I felt Robert's aura grasping my soul. It was like someone squeezed my chest, but there was no one really doing it. I yelled and Link tried to stop Robert, but he was trapped too on his aura.

"Robert, please…!"

"What?" he asked "Do you want me to join forces with you again? You are too weak! You hold no chance to beat Wolf!"

"I know that much!" I replied as hard as I could, while trying to resist the pain "But this is not you!"

I could see something that was scaring me to dead. His hands were becoming alike Lucario's hands and burnt into a stronger aura. Robert's face was about to change too, was he…? Shape shifting? It was impossible, Lucario wasn't in Robert's body, but there he was, becoming slightly like him. Then I remembered the time Matthew started turning alike Wolf, there were only some characteristics that changed… it was smash x evolution.

"Stop it Robert!" I yelled "You don't belong with them!"

"I don't belong anywhere."

"That's not true…!" I shouted with might "You belong with us! You belong with Yoshi!"

The front of his face was now exactly the same as Lucario's face and his hands were the same too. I was held on the air as I started to miss air to breathe. I felt like fainting, I was unable to shape shift and I felt that I was reaching the ends of my days… no, I could not. There had to be some way out, Matthew always found them when he was in these situations. I looked around and above a high tree I could see a shadow.

"Yoshi! Above…!"

I wasn't able to say anything less, I wasn't able to say anything specific, but Yoshi stood up and jumped through trees as fast as he could until he crashed with something on the tree cup.

Robert's concentration faded and I started breathing fast, but correctly. I shape shifted as soon as I could and then I ran towards Robert. I wasn't sure about what to do now, but I thrust him to the ground while Yoshi brought Lucario to the ground. He seemed pissed with Yoshi.

"Your time with Robert is gone." He said "He is on my care now!"

"Over my dead body, you dirty rat!" Yoshi replied as he seemed about to growl, but he only said 'Yoshi' out loud in a strange angered tone.

Robert suddenly grabbed my neck and his hand started burning on aura. I felt that my whole soul was about to break in million pieces, but then I tried to stay focus on reality and think. I had to think fast. The aura was spreading around my whole body…

I touched Robert's face with my left hand and with might I tried to use my supernatural awareness in order to direct Robert's aura to my left hand. And I succeed soon, the flow of aura was now entering in Robert's system and I was looking for something specific, Lucario's blood.

"You bitch!" Robert yelled while he tried to get rid of me, but I held tight to him, I would at least drain all his monster blood.

But I wasn't able to take all of it. His face and hands were no longer like Lucario's, but Robert's eyes were still completely blue and his aura finished thrusting me away. I was about to die when some wings stopped the flow from the aura. I looked next to me and I was being held by Yoshi's hand. His wings were closed around me protecting me from Robert's aura attack.

Robert's eyes were horrified, Lucario's eyes could not believe what he was seeing and Link was also stunned. I looked at Yoshi confused.

"How?" I asked.

"Robert and I are linked, even if we are not in the same body his soul is still attached to mine." He said as his wings opened and a green aura surrounded him "Robert!" He shouted out loud to everyone's minds "I won't forgive you for what you did, but I will walk along with you, I will help you with the burden of your actions! I will save you from the monster you are becoming!"

"Stop!" Lucario yelled.

But he found himself stopped by Link's sword; he wasn't going to let Lucario interfere.

Yoshi flew at high speed against Robert and they crashed, but as soon as Yoshi crashed on Robert he became a green spark that covered Robert's body and entered on it. Robert yelled and fainted.

Lucario was on rage and he was about to unleash his final smash.

"He is not for you to take. Watch the power of aura!"

I held Robert's body tightly as I prepared to somehow withstand the aura beam, but it wasn't necessary. Someone stopped Lucario from doing it. It was Kirby.

"Kirby!" I shouted.

"You can't kill her."

It was the first time Kirby spoke. I was stunned by how clear his words were and how soft his voice was. His eyes showed a stern posture and a severe look on Lucario who was still possessed by rage.

"He will go back to you." Kirby said "But you can't risk her life on it."

"Why are so protective on her?"

"Because it's my task." He answered coldly as Lucario calmed down "Pit needs you to do something else right now."

"He took Robert! I was supposed to be…!"

Kirby hit his face and then his ice cold told him to go away. Lucario gave us one glimpse of hatred as he left the forest behind.

I and Link stared at Kirby with our mouths and eyes opened wide. We couldn't believe he just talked.

"I don't talk much, so don't expect me to be constantly speaking." He said as he took Robert's body "Let's go home."
