I should be able to finish thisfanfic today. I don't think there's as much action as the last chapter but this one was fun to type up. There's more obvious shonen-ai in this chapter just to pre-warn you. There areconfusing parts in the chapter that you might not get unless you clearly remember the chapters before. This isnt the last chapter just to say somthing ahead of time.
EDIT: I accidentally wrote "gaimen" instead of Azure in one part. I guess Fubuki no Kaen was in my mind when i was typing this. :P. Thanks for pointing out the mistake El Nino1. Please tell me if I accidentally wrote "Gaimen" instead of "Azure" in any parts.I'm pretty sure I might've.
Aryl was no where to be seen.
The rosary was strung around Jacqueline's wrist tightly, "The day you exiled me…" Jacqueline muttered, "I wanted to kill you. You shipped me away just so you could maintain power. You tormented my brother." The lightning flashed through the sky.
Azure laughed and turned to her, "What can you do to me?"
Jacqueline lifted her hands, "I don't have much to do in the afterlife." She summoned a lightning bolt, "Training is about it." The lightning bolt that appeared in her hands became a glowing bow. She lifted it and pulled the string back, "Go!" She shot her arrows at him. Lightning built up around the arrows until they were streaks of lightning.
Azure was pushed back even though he blocked most of her shots with a shield of black ink, "Damn this," His grip tightened around Marth, "I grow tired of this."
Jacqueline summoned her magic and rained giant bolts of lightning from the sky.
Azure's grip tightened around Marth. Roy immediately came hammering down on him with his scythe when his attention was diverted to Jacqueline. Azure smiled as he looked straight at Roy, "You want Marth all to yourself. Right Jacqueline?"
"I will protect him no matter what. He is my brother." Jacqueline murmured.
Azure turned to Roy with an evil glare, "You love Marth but as long as Jacqueline lives…you'll never have him to yourself. Do you want him?"
Roy's eyes shone with fires of rage and jealousy. Azure grinned wickedly as he manipulated Roy's weak and corrupted mind. He turned to Jacqueline and walked towards her.
Marth looked out from the ink, "Roy…Stop it Roy." His eyes widened, "No!"
Jacqueline's body was cut from her left collar bone to her right hip. The spirit of Jacqueline began to fade, "Why couldn't you see Azure's deception?" Her spirit felt light, "Please…save…Marth…" A bright light filled the air as Jacqueline's spirit faded away from Samus.
The wound that was given to Jacqueline was reduced to a non-fatal scar on Samus.
Marth screamed in anguish, "Why couldn't you have been stronger Roy?" His mind filled with rage and sorrow, "Why…" Tears built in his eyes.
Roy looked at Marth. His cries of anguish burned into his heart. Roy felt the pains of Marth's words as he turned to face Azure, "I will kill you no matter what…" Roy lifted the scythe and lunged at Azure.
Azure smiled, "Now that she's out of the way," He threw Marth off the building.
"M…Marth!" Roy shouted.
Marth screamed as he fell of the building.
"Brother," A voice called to him.
The place where he buried Jacqueline's body appeared around him. The sword that was stabbed into the ground was in front of him. The silver arrow on the sword glittered radiantly. The fading image of Jacqueline appeared in front of him, "Brother," She reached out to both his hands, "I love you. I'll protect you no matter what." She blinked and the forest vanished before his eyes.
Marth started to wake up. He gasped as he saw the rosary wrung around his wrist and hung on a silver arrow that was shot right into the wall. Marth immediately recognized the silver arrow as the arrow that Jacqueline had put in the sword to defeat Azure the first time. Marth grabbed the ledge of the wall and pulled himself back up.
"You protected me." He looked up at Azure, "Now I'll kill him."
Roy slashed Azure to the edge of the tower. His human mind began to return with every slice, "You made me kill her!" He slashed again, "You bastard!"
Azure blocked his attacks with the black ink, "Why are you blaming me? I didn't control you. Your blind rage forced you to do that." Azure caught Roy in the black ink and constricted him tightly, "You'll join Marth and Jacqueline in hell." A dark smile curled on his lips.
Samus slowly woke up. She saw Aryl's dead body right next to her, "You were his sister," She bowed Aryl slowly, "I hope I was good enough for you." She slowly stood up, "I have to…help…because I won't give up." She held up the only dagger she had left, "Please give me enough strength." She saw faint images of her father in her mind.
"I'm proud of you, daughter…"
"Father…" Samus threw the dagger at Azure, "Thank you." The dagger glowed as it shot at Azure.
The smile on Azure's face warped into a pained snarl as the dagger dug into his body. The illuminating light that entered his body burned his darkened spirit to the core. Roy stepped away from the edge as it happened.
Young Link used his grand cross on the gorilla and defeated it but the grand cross attack had damaged his body badly. His body was breaking and he spat out blood. He was on his hands and knees.
"I did a good job." He smiled faintly, "I surpassed my other self." He felt tears escaping his eyes, "Now I'm going to…" He closed his eyes and fell to his side, "I'm going to rest."
Link felt a horrible pain at the pit of his stomach, "Y…young Link!" He glanced around and felt tears build up in his eyes, "Young Link!" The tears flew from his eyes, "No,"
Zelda touched his face, "We'll find him. He can't be dead."
"It's my fault." Link cried, "I left him there."
"It's not your fault." Zelda whispered gently. She enchanted him with a magic spell.
Link looked up at the tower with anger in his eyes, "Azure," He took his bow and grabbed an arrow, "You're going to pay for killing him!" He fired the arrow at the tower where Azure stood.
The arrow glittered with colours from Zelda's enchantment.
"AGH," Azure screamed as the magical arrow stabbed into him.
Marth held up the silver arrow in his bow, "Go to hell…where you belong and you'll never be near my sister." He fired the arrow at Azure.
Azure screamed in pain as the silver arrow destroyed his body.
Marth climbed onto the tower. He ran towards Roy, "Are you okay?"
Roy clutched his head. He tried to revert back to his human form but it failed. He looked up at him, "It…hurts…"
"Roy," Marth planted a kiss on his lips, "I love you."
Roy stopped and held Marth in the same warm embrace, "I…" His voice started to get softer, "I love you too."
Samus smiled and looked at Aryl. The Pichu still remained motionless, "You always were looking out for him."
Roy transformed back into a human. Marth took off his ragamuffin manteau and wrapped it around Roy's body since Roy was completely bereft of any clothes.
The ink puddle Azure was reduced to slowly churned. A bleeding and defeated Azure kneeled in its place, "I will not yield to you Marth." He summoned all his magic and fired a red and black lightning ball at Marth.
Marth pushed Roy out of the battle range. He held his bow just like how Jacqueline did when she fired her final blast, "Don't underestimate me," His voice echoed with Jacqueline's, "Monsters like you do not deserve to live!" He fired a jet of lightning into the blast.
The lightning clashed and converged with the red and black lightning. Both shots were diluted but also reflected. A giant explosion shot at Both Marth and Azure.
Azure screamed in pain and anger as his body was torn apart by the blast.
The blast had engulfed Roy as well. Samus gasped, "Roy," She ran up to Roy when the blast died down.
Roy held onto the glowing manteau, "I'm fine. This thing protected me."
Ganon looked at the glowing light that came from the top of the tower, "It's finally over…"
Link ran over to Mario, "Sir Mario," He knelt down on one knee, "Please take help me take care of Zelda for now." Link ran straight into the castle.
Roy looked at Marth, "You won." He shook him gently, "Marth?" His face of happiness slowly sunk away, "Marth…" Tears built in his eyes and he started to cry, "No…"
Samus looked for his pulse, "I can't find it." She closed her eyes tightly, "Oh Marth," She stopped when her hand traced his cheek, "He's still warm."
Roy placed a hand on his cheek, "You're right." His hand gently stroked his facial features. He smiled and wiped away his tears, "Please don't leave me…"
Link looked around the castle. He found young Link lying on the ground in a chamber, "Little me," He grabbed him and flipped him over, "Please tell me you're okay,"
Young Link blinked, "Did I surpass you?" His voice was soft and weakening.
Link smiled, "Yes," Link replied, "Stay awake," He lifted him up; "I'll bring you to medical attention immediately.
Roy glanced over to Aryl, "She's dead."
"Yeah," Samus muttered, "His sister wouldn't let him die no matter what happened to her. She cared for him so much."
Roy hooked his arms under Marth's knees and neck. He looked at him and remembered the time they were talking in the forest. Roy stared at the faint wound on his arm, "Maybe…she's not the only one."
Silver and Komatsu stood by the alter. Komatsu turned to the arrow leaning against the wall, "He's gone. I sensed it. That's the end of the Lowell line."
"I can save him if he still has the rosary…" Silver looked at the flickering candles in front of her, "A long time ago…" Komatsu turned to her, "I promised to protect them even if I had to make the ultimate sacrifice." She clasped her hands together. A white glow emitted from her body.
The ending is a little confusing since I wanted to include Silver and Komatsu at the end. There's still one more chapter to go. Well, more like an epilogue. Please R & R
