A/N: That was quick folks. Oh, and star fox lover, if you're reading this, don't worry. Roy was actually under Ultimecia's spell but in further chapter... now that would be telling. Anyway, this is it, the chapter featuring two most powerful heroes: Cloud and Link. The title is based on the Dragon Ball Final Bout music title for SS4 Goku. Anyway, please enjoy.

Chapter 12: Heroes of heroes:

Our final stop comes to the Planet Core. The arena consists of a large circular platform at the bottom of the arena, with floating rocks and platforms surrounding it. Tendrils of the Lifestream connect the platforms and can be slid on. This is whe the defeaters of Chaos and Tabuu, Cloud and Link, begin their intense training.

Link ran up the green wall and spots Cloud leaping from rock to rock firing Firagas at him. Link dodges each one and grabs his bombs and threw them. Cloud blocks them out with his Firas. Then he saw Link leaping over him and slashed Cloud 3 times, the last one send him flying. Cloud leaps up and waits till Link flies over to him and used Braver. Link got hit and received some damage. He then gets up and used his Hero Bow knocking Cloud some damage.

These warriors never wasted their time on words as they were training more harder than the others had. They both ran up the green wall, clashing their swords back and forth. Cloud was using his Buster Sword at first but then he took out his Fusion Sword and start clashing them with Link's shield and Master Sword. They leap onto some rocks and just standing on the side, they clashed their swords back to front. Cloud then leaps away and summoned Meteorain, which shot of meteors crashes down towards Link but Link moved away. Link then used his Claw Shot and grabbed Cloud's leg as they both fell and both landed on the platform below.

Link and Cloud were about to go at it again when…

"Good to see you, Cloud."

"So we meet again, Link."

Cloud and Link both looked up to see their arch nemesises, Sephiroth and Ganondorf above them. Link recongised Sephiroth at once.

"You again!"

"Sephiroth!" Cloud said. Then he turned to Ganondorf. "And I am guessing you must be Ganondorf."

"That is correct. You two seemed to be doing well on your own. However, you two became quite a threat" Ganondorf said.

"A threat?" Link asked.

"You two are getting much stronger than any of your comrades are. So tell me, does this provide you of your own reason to fight?" Sephiroth said.

"This again? I told you" Cloud said "I decided my own path and I find out the reason to why I fight. Now answer us, what do you mean when you said we are a threat?"

"Nothing but puppets" Sephiroth said "Allow us to explain."

"You two have the power to destroy both Tabuu and Chaos. And they wanted us to wipe you out" Ganondorf said "so let's just say… your meddling ways are coming to an end."

"We'll just see about that" Link said as he and Cloud got into their postions.

"Hmph. It's not just us who believe that. All our comrades think so too" Sephiroth said.

"Show us the true strength of the champions" Garland said as he and Bowser appeared behind them. Cloud and Link knew they were surrounded.

"Hahaha. With you 2 out of the way, the rest will fall like flies" Bowser said.

"Don't think our comrades are weak. They fight pretty well on their own" Cloud said.

"And even if we are apart, we always give us strength. So go on ahead and fight us. We swat you down" Link said.

Suddendly, Garland and Bowser were attacked by some figures to a rock platform. Link and Cloud turned to see…

"Trying to take the spotlight, eh, Cloud?" Tidus grinned as he and Sonic were seen confronting Garland and Bowser. They just got Terra's and Samus' message and hurried to help them.

"Sonic?" Link asked.

"Tidus" Cloud looked surprised "Why are you two here?"

"What? Don't have a reason to help others?" Sonic asked "Just leave these two lummoxs to us now, OK?"

"They still don't get it" Cloud muttered.

"But we can live with that" Link answered.

As Sonic and Tidus fight off Garland and Bowser, Cloud and Link turned their attention to Sephiroth and Ganondorf.

"Cloud… can I take Sephiroth on?" Link asked.

"What?" Cloud asked.

"Because Sephiroth is the reason that Zelda was taken from me. I wanted to show him that I am not so weak as before." Link said.

"Hmm… OK I guess. Then you let me deal with Ganondorf" Cloud said.

"So, the destroyer of Chaos wants to fight me, eh? This should be entertaining" Ganondorf said as he took out his blade.

"Don't bore me as you did last time" Sephiroth said as he summoned his long sword to fight Link.

Cloud leaps up in the air. Ganondorf followed suit. Cloud puts away the Buster Sword and used his main Fusion Blade and clashed it with Ganondorf's sword. Cloud then leaps back and dodged Ganondorf's Kick and then used Finishing Touch. Ganondorf leaps back up again and used his Dark Dive which he grabbed Cloud and shocked him 3 times. Cloud leaps back up and using Slashing Blow sending Ganondorf flying. Ganondorf got up to see Cloud charge towards him.

Link ran up the wall and sees Sephiroth was above him ready for Hell's Gate. Link dodges it and Sephiroth got up and then used Oblivion which he flew past Link leaving some slashes on him. Link then leaps up and used Master Combo which he slashed Sephiroth 4 times and then round it up with a Bomb. Sephiroth landed on his feet and held his Black Materia into the air. Link looked up to see a huge metoer flying towards him. Link used his ClawShot to get away and he swings towards Sephiroth.

Cloud leaps from Ganondorf's Wizard Foot and then used Braver which hit Ganondorf directly. Before Cloud could react, Ganondorf used Flame Choke on him which he grabbed Cloud's head, lift him in the air and a flame blew in his face. Cloud leaps up and slashed Ganondorf upwards. He spins his sword around. "Stars… Rain down!" Meteorain flew down on Ganondorf's location.

Sephiroth then saw Link coming and used Godspeed. Link dodges his blade beams and used his Gale Boomerang. Sephiroth was hit by it and was spun in a tornando before Link calls it back. Sephiroth gets back and gets ready for Shadow Flare. Link leaps up from the 4 dark spheres and used Hero Bow.

Ganondorf stood up from the rain of meteors and saw Cloud above him.

"Not too bad for a warrior of Cosmos" Ganondorf said.

"We still haven't finished yet" Cloud said.

"Indeed. Let's end this" Ganondorf sneered and used the Triforce of Power.

Sephiroth sneered at Link and chuckled.

"What so funny?" Link asked.

"I must admit you've very skilled. But… can you survive this?" Sephiroth said as he used his Reunion Form where a single black wing appeared and used Octaslash. Link was hit by the attack and was send flying as Sephiroth said "I bring you despair. Perish to all!" He knock Link to his ultimate attack Super Nova. Link fell into the huge fireball.

Ganondorf then used Warlock Punch which hit Cloud. Then he followed it up with mutlie slashes and leaps back and become Ganon. He charged and hit Cloud directly.

As the dust emerge from where Cloud and Link were once, Sephiroth and Ganondorf reverted back to normal. Ganondorf thought it was over, but Sephiroth didn't. Suddendly Cloud emerge from the dust with the Ultima Weapon and the Combined Fusion Sword ready. Ganondorf was shocked but Cloud had gone to Sephiroth and slashed him upwards and round up Omnislash Version 5. Link suddendly appeared before Ganondorf in his Triforce of Courage power up and used Hyrulian Combo which he slashed Ganondorf many times. The final blow send him flying.

"This is it!" Link said as he powered up and trapped Ganondorf in a triforce prison and Link started slashing him using his ultimate Triforce Slash attack. "Evil will perish!" And with that said, the final slash he made made the cage break and ultimately defeated Ganondorf.

"Breaking my limit" Cloud called as he charged towards Sephiroth after powering up and slashed him 14 times with his ultimate attack Omnislash. Then he leaps in the air. "This is it" and send a last blow defeating the evil Sephiroth.

Cloud marched to Sephiroth who still stood after their battle. "Give it. You cannot win. Why don't you just give us back Princess Sara, Maria, Refia, Rosa, Lenna, Locke, Tifa, Rinoa, Garnet and Yuna already?"

"Hmph. I think not" Sephiroth said "it's not our decision. But you should be concerned about both Chaos and Tabuu at the moment. As long as you remained intact, we contiune to hunt you down. And what's more, I think Tabuu is planning to betray Chaos."

"Tabuu plans to betray Chaos? For what reason?"

"Tabuu is the leader of the Subspace. So he plans to be rid of Master Hand and Chaos so he would contiuned his plot."

"Does Chaos knows?"

"Oh he knows. He plans to betray Tabuu as well."

"What are you saying?"

"The Smash Villains dosen't know but we do." Sephiroth said "Chaos sees through Tabuu's plot and he plans something of his own. If you want your childhood friend back, come and find me again." And he disappears.

"What on earth is Chaos and Tabuu up to?" Cloud pondered. Then he turned to see Link and Ganondorf staring off.

"Wow. You have improved, boy" Ganondorf said smirking evilly "I cannot believe you come this far."

"We will never lose to fiends like you!" Link snarled "Return Peach, Zelda, Marth, Paula, Titania, Jody, Sally, Ribbon, Krystal and Lucario now!"

"Hmph. Not so fast. We had something else in plan. Go back to Master Hand now. He needs you. We will meet again. Bye for now" Ganondorf said as he began to vanish.

"Wait, Ganondorf! Are you running away? STOP!" Link charged at him but Ganondorf disappears. "DAMN!"

He stomped his foot to the ground. The villain who was supposed to take him back to Zelda got away. Cloud put a hand to his shoulder.

"Don't worry. We'll get him" he reassured. Link nodded and relaxed.

"Cloud! Link!"

They turned to see Tidus and Sonic coming up to them. They managed to defeat Garland and Bowser, who got away.

"Tidus… Sonic… we owe you one" Link said.

"Ahh don't worry about it" Sonic said.

Suddenly, something gold appeared before Link. He looked up and sees a crystal shaped like a Triforce appeared before him.

"That's a crystal!" Tidus said.

"That mean you're training is complete, Link" Cloud said showing Link his crystal which was a green materia.

Link sighed. "That was a relief." He takes his crystal.

"Now we all have finished. Let's head back!" Sonic said.

As Link and Sonic goes off, Cloud stops Tidus from leaving.

"Tidus… wait!"

Tidus turned to face Cloud. "What's wrong?"

"Sephiroth said something" Cloud said "I have a feeling Chaos and Tabuu are planning to betray each other after we rescue Tifa and the others."

"Betray each other? That's wrong!" Tidus said.

"Cloud, Tidus? Can you hear me?" came a familiar voice in the air.

"Cosmos?" Cloud and Tidus asked in unison.

"I have no idea where I am. Master Hand looked sad at the moment and then he teleported me here. I have no idea where I am" Cosmos said. She sounded very worried.

"Where are you?" Tidus called.

"I am on some sort of platform in outer space or somewhere" Cosmos said.

"I think she's in one of the Smasher's world: The Final Destination" Cloud said. He then called to Cosmos "Stay where you are, Cosmos. We're coming to get you!"

"Please hurry!" Cosmos called.

"Let's get the others and head to this Final Destination" Tidus said.

"Let's go" Cloud said as they ran the opposite way Link and Sonic went and goes off to find Cosmos. What is going on? Why did Master Hand send her there?

To be continued…
