Yes! A new chapter is up! Praise me! Okay, as per usual, thank you for the
reviews and other things. I am greatly appreciative. I hope that you all
like this new chapter. By the way, for those of you who thought that Rouge
was killed in the last chapter, she was only knocked out. I have... plans for
her in my next fic in the saga.
Chapter 20: Storming the castle
Link looked as the now completed statue hovered in front of him. It looked like a star with a slightly silver tint to it.
Everyone watched in fasenation as the star expanded and widened into a portal. Feeling no fear, they all entered the portal in hopes that this battle would be won before the day's end. The all failed to notice the white figure that snuck in after them.
They came out on a desolate wasteland. Not a single living thing stood anywhere in sight. The only thing that was there was a black castle that reached high above the clouds.
It was surrounded by what seemed to be a moat filled with an odd purple substance bubbling up. It was very disturbing.
The drawbridge was lowered, as if welcoming them in. It looked like it was beginning to rot though. There were a few holes that were scattered around on its surface.
The travelers ventured onward, ignoring the fear they felt that the bridge would give way and send them plunging into the strange liquid below.
********
High above them, they were being watched by the spawn of Majora. Shenon turned to face his siblings. "My friends, the time has come. We have tried every single method other than attacking them head on. This appears to be our only option now. I want no failures this time." He glanced at Lena and Gomba menacingly. They both winced.
Everyone nodded and headed off to encounter the swords... their own way.
********
Everyone looked around the main hall of the castle. In truth, there was not much to see. It was basically nothing but a stony chamber with a single staircase leading up.
Inuyasha scoffed. "Not exactally the most cushiony place, is it?"
This was met by laughter. Laughter that came from none other than one of Majora's spawn that had walked down the stairs. He was wearing a brown cloak and black pants. In his hand, he held a large spear that was about ten feet long from the pole tip to the blade tip. His face was pale and wrinkled, signifying that he was one of the oldest of the spawn.
He gave a polite bow and said, "Welcome, swords. We have been expecting you for a while now. I am pleased to have the pleasure of dealing with you myself."
Kenshin stepped forward. "Who might you be?" he asked, drawing his own sword.
The man bowed again. "You may call me Kagato. But I have no time for formalities. I must insist that I kill you here."
Kenshin got into a fighter's stance. "I will take him on. The rest of you move on."
Kagato crossed his arms. "So, you wish to try and conquer us all at once, eh? Admirable... but foolish!"
Kagato stepped aside and motioned to the stairway. "Very well. You may all move on. I will fight only Kenshin."
Everyone gave one last look at Kenshin before heading up the stairs.
Kenshin stared down his opponent without fear. "You know that I will not hold anything back on you, that I won't."
Kagato chuckled. "Nor will I."
Each of the warriors nodded in understanding and prepared for battle...
********
Link and the others entered a room that was odd. It was a giant garden filled with flowers and assorted plant life.
Sitting in the middle of the garden was a young man with tan skin. He wore nothing from the waist up and his pants were scarred heavily.
He looked over to the people and stood up. "Hello. I am Shenshut the fist fighter. I know that there is no way that you could have defeated Kagato that quickly, so it is only safe to assume that you are trying to take us all on at once. Very well. Who will be my opponent?"
Yusuke stepped forward without hesitation. "If you're a fist fighter, then your mine!"
Shenshut laughed. "Those are big words coming from such a weak body."
Yusuke just smirked.
Link nodded at him. "Good luck, Yusuke."
Everyone headed up the stairs except for Yusuke who stood ready for attack. "I'm gonna make you wish you were never born."
Shenshut took a fighting stance. "We shall see. I believe that it may be the other way around before this match is through."
********
Link and the others entered another strange room. It was a mountainous region and looked rather hazardous.
They all heard a voice in their heads. "I've been waiting for you."
Mewtwo growled. He knew that voice all to well. His estimate was correct. The girl that he had fought back on the moon appeared in front of them.
She looked over at him. "Kitty! It is so good to see you again. Would you like to finish what we started back on the moon?"
Mewtwo stepped foreward and flexed his arms. "I would only be to glad to have a rematch."
Everyone could see that this was a personal matter, so they all headed right up the stairs without another word.
Mewtwo stared defiantly at the girl. "This time, bitch, I'm gonna finish you off for good."
The girl giggled. "Bring it on, bastard. By the way, my name is Lena, not bitch."
********
Once again, Link and his friends entered a room. This one was a big change from the others. It was nothing but metal. Robotnik stepped forward in his egg walker and scanned the room.
He fingered his moustache. "It is all chrome."
There was a chuckle from one of the corners. "Very perceptive of you, doctor."
A boy stepped out of the shadows. He was riding in a mech that was very similar to the one Robotnik was in. He had flaming red hair and a white shirt with the pants to match. His mech looked nothing more than an egg walker with a yellow paint job.
He grinned. "Glad to finally meet you. Now I can get revenge for you decimating my robotic army!"
Robotnik scowled. "So, you're the one who turned Snively into that monster?"
The man nodded. "Yes, it was I, Gomba, the genius that did it. The question is, can you and your little run-down pile of junk beat me?"
Robotnik turned to his friends. "You guys go on. Like Mewtwo, I have an old score to settle."
Everyone nodded and left them to deal with each other.
The two geniuses stared at each other, neither daring to blink, waiting for the other to make his move...
********
Link and the others stared in wonder at the flashing background. It was defiantly made to impress.
A woman who was dressed in black stood there, two daggers clutched in her palms. "Welcome to the Nexus zone, my friends. I am afraid that the one who chooses to fight me will not leave this room alive."
Zelda stepped forward. "Who are you?" she demanded.
The girl showed no emotion as she said, "My name is Tea."
Link looked at Zelda. "Will you take her on?" he asked.
Zelda nodded. Link needed no further convincing. She had proven herself to be more than capable back in the caves.
Link and the remaining swords headed up the stairs leaving the nexus zone.
Zelda took out her chain and struck a fighting pose. "I'm not going to let you stop me now that I have come this far."
Tea nodded. "I do not doubt that you will put up a good fight, Zelda. However, only one of us can walk away from this and still be among the lving."
********
Link, Inuyasha, and Zidane entered another room. This one was the most frightening by far. It was filled with skeletons and it reeked of death. Some lumps of flesh were still there as well.
The only other living creature in that room was a man standing there with a giant ax that was twice his size over his shoulder. His hair was a dirty blond color and he was wrapped from head to toe in white rags.
He bowed and let the ax slip from his back and onto the ground. "Hello, fellow warriors. You may call me Jonachi. But, I am going to be known as your killer before long!"
Inuyasha drew his own humongus weapon. "Well, pardon me if I don't agree with that statement."
Jonachi smiled. "Let us test that then. You will be my opponent."
Link wished Inuyasha good luck as he and Zidane headed up the next flight of stairs.
Inuyasha held out his sword and said, "Well, I guess that we can call this the battle of big weapons, can't we?"
Jonachi remained silent as he raised his giant ax.
********
Link and Zidane came to a slightly more pleasant room. It looked quite a bit like a bar and even had a pool table in the middle.
Zidane and Link both heard a sexy and seductive voice call out to them that was not unlike Rouge's, but not the same. "Well, boys, I'm glad to see such handsome and good-looking men in my humble abode."
Zidane was about todraw his blades when he felt someone pinch his ass. He froze for a second but then turned around to see a young woman standing there. She had silver hair that looked a lot like Inuyasha's. She was wearing a very revealing dress that could have made any man turn his head.
Zidane chuckled. "It's not that I don't enjoy your fondness of me, but I would like to take it a little more slowly."
The girl giggled. "Well, my name is Shulla, and, unfortunately for you, I never take anything slow."
Link sighed. "And I though that Zidane was the biggest pervert."
Zidane looked at his friend more seriously than he ever had before. "I'll handle her. It seems to me that we have a lot in common. This should be interesting."
Link nodded. Before going up the stairs, he turned and said,"I just hope that you guys don't have kids!"
Zidane and even Shulla had to laugh at that.
********
Link emerged on top of a large tower. This reminded him of his battle with Gannondorf and Majora.
He had little time to dwell on those memories, however. Standing there was the final of Majora's spawn. He seemed to be the eldest of all of them.
He drew his sword that was pitch black like everything else that he wore. His eyes held no pupils and he had dark brown hair. "Well, if it isn't Link, the murderer of my late father, Majora."
Link stood his ground and drew his sword. "I didn't murder him. I would never kill without a reason. Your father had a corrupt heart and was trying to destroy everything! I couldn't let that happen!"
The man remained unfazed during the entire speech. "My father was doing something great! He was ushering in a new world order! I, Shenon, along with my seven brothers and sisters, will complete his work and destroy those that stand in our way!"
Link held his blade at the ready. "Talk is cheap. Let's see if you have the muscle to back up that claim."
They both charged.
********
And so it began. Eight different battles raging on at once. Some fought for their beliefs. Some fought for revenge. And others fought to protect what they loved. No matter what the reson, it was clear that only one group would come out victorius. But it was still unclear if all of them would come out alive...

New chapter goodness! Yes! I hope that you all enjoy this new chapter. And FYI, the next eight chapters will be describing each battle separately. Just remember that all f this is happening at the same time. Anyway, read and review!
