...
The room was massive, at least twenty yards in diameter. The walls curved upwards into a large spiraling tower. Brad loved looking at the archetecture, marveling at the colossal builds. His smile faded, when he saw Johnas. "You are strong, but you have only defeated my minions." His words were smoother than normal, as if he was trying to act friendly, almost polite.
"We are strong, and we will prevail." Brad said.
"Brad, let me handle this." Link said, pulling Brad back.
"No, we fight together."
"Together or apart, either way, you will all die." Johnas pulled out a small vial filled with a swirling black liquid. Midna gasped.
"Where did you get that?"
"Midna, you should know." With that, Johnas vanished, and the vial fell to the ground.
"What is it?" Brad asked.
"Pure Shadow. Run." Midna backed up, only to run into a wall. The vial was moving back and forth, the stop on it loosening.
"What does it do?" Zelda wondered.
"Don't let it touch you!"
"Why?"
"It creates a shadow clone, an exact copy of you." The vial burst open, and the liquid spilled out. It pulsed, and grew in size. The Shadow-born Amoeba: Morpheus was now the size of a human, forming into a pillar of darkness. Tendrils shot out from the main body, securing it to the wall. More tendrils came forth, one of them hitting Brad in the chest.
"Brad!" Link cried, running over to his brother.
"Link!" Link looked up just in time to get hit in the head, and thrust over to the wall. Hundreds of tendrils came out, pinning them in place. Midna and Zelda couldn't move, and were soon covered in darkness. It released them all, letting them fall to the floor. They stood up and regrouped. Looking over, they saw themselves. Exact copies of each of them.
"Well, master gave us a job to do." Shadow Link said. His voice was exactly like Link's but had a dark tone to it.
"Then let us do it." Shadow Brad said. Drawing his sword, both Brad and Shadow Brad prepared to fight. Link and his Shadow were already trading blows. Shadow Midna and Shadow Zelda started attacking Midna and Zelda.
"Begone, shadow. Go back to the abyss." Brad commanded.
"Hahaha... pathetic fool. You cannot conquer anything, let alone, yourself." Shadow Brad started his attack, leaving Brad on the defence.
"I know me. I know my strengths, and my weaknesses!" Brad slashed at his shadow self's shield, knocking it away for a second. In that split-second, Brad stabbed at Shadow Brad's shield arm, but was deflected by the Shadow Brad's Seeker's Sword.
"I know how to protect your weaknesses as well." Brad felt someone run into his back. Glancing over his shoulder, Link stood back-to-back with Brad.
"I can't land a hit!" Brad told Link.
"I know. Trade targets!" Link shouted as he faced Shadow Brad. Link came face to face with Shadow Link.
"The Hero's brother. I am interested to learn your fighting style, then kill you." Shadow Link said. Brad charged, and forced Shadow Link to step back.
Brad lifted his sword high, shouting "Light, shine in the Dark!" Divine light filled his blade, shining like the sun. Shadow Link shielded his eyes, only to have Brad slash clean through his defenses. Shadow Link fell against the wall, and Brad lunged. The Seeker's Sword went through Shadow Link, and he melted. The Shadow split in three parts, and one went into each of the remaining Shadow Mimics, strengthening them.
"Power! I have power!" Shadow Brad shouted as he changed color. "I am no longer your shadow, I am your soul! I am Darkness!"
"You are nothing!" Brad and Link pounced at Dark Brad, beating away at him.
"Link! Help!" Midna called, backing into a corner. Her Dark Mimic had cornered her, preparing to deal the final blow. Link, without missing a beat, hurled a bomb at Dark Midna. The impact blew Dark Midna across the room, letting Midna regain her footing. Link, satisfied with that, went back to fighting Dark Brad. Zelda had out her bow, and was trading shots with Dark Zelda. Arrow flew past Brad and Link as their fight with Dark Brad became more intense. Bolts of magic ricocheted off the wall, bouncing around the room. Finally, Brad saw an opening. He rolled under Dark Brad, stabbing up, into his Dark self's chest, behind the shield.
"You are a shadow. Nothing more." Brad said, watching Dark Brad die. A scream to his right drew his attention. Zelda had an arrow in her leg, crippling her. Dark Zelda was moving in closer, to point blank range, for the kill. Brad ran over, and sliced off Dark Zelda's bow arm. With the same movement, he brought his sword down on Dark Zelda's head. Link had rushed over and killed Dark Midna at about the same time. With nothing left to sustain, the Pure Shadow vanished, Morpheus died.
"Thank you, Brad." Zelda said, unable to move.
"Thank me when I get this arrow out of you." Brad pulled out a small knife, and cut the arrow out. Zelda winced in pain, but didn't flinch. Brad took out a red potion, and poured it on the wound. Brad took a quick glance over at Link and Midna. They were relatively untouched, with only only a few small wounds. Brad helped Zelda up, and the four of them looked around.
"Now what?" Midna asked. "There's nothing else here."
"Where did the lights go?" Brad asked. He was answered with four balls of light floating down in front of him. Hovering at eye level, the lights were... almost hypnotizing. Beams of light came out of them, and covered the heroes in a divine, pure light.

That's a wrap! No recap, it was a boss fight. If you want a recap here, reread the chapter. Really, do it. Review, inspire me! I'm losing inspiration! Thanks! Gen 22:1-19
