Chapter 4: Colra's Temple

*** Melee HQ***

Colra looked at the four. He glared and sighed.

Colra: Izmal got Wario didn't he?

Link: Yeah

Colra: Hopefully the others are doing good at the temple

***Colra's Temple***

Sonic and Shadow ran down the hallways. The Red Sonic and Shadow just a hallway away. The floor underneath them began to crumble and Sonic and Shadow leaped. They just barely made it as the floor crumbled into what seemed a never ending pit. Sonic breathed.

Sonic: Come on Shadow, we have to keep going.

Shadow: I hear voices.

Red Sonic and Shadow turned the hallway.

Red Shadow: There you freaks are!

Sonic: RUN!

Sonic and Shadow got up and ran. They skidded to a stop at the next hallway. It was a huge pool of lava with measly stone slabs floating in it!

Shadow: This isn't making things any better!

Sonic leapt to a stone tablet. The Red sonic and shadow turned the hallway. Sonic quickly leapt to the next one so Shadow could leap to the one he was just on. They jumped stone to stone to the other side. Then they turned the hallway as the red villains began jumping. Suddenly there was a flash and Luigi fell onto Sonic.

Sonic: It's the green plumber!

Luigi: Colra sent-a me to-a help the others find-a you-a!

Shadow: Others?

***

Ness, Ganondorf, Roy, and Marth walked along with Falco and Fox.

Fox: I can't believe that freak messed up and sent Falco and me with you guys.

Ganondorf: All to find some freaking hedgehogs.

Ness: Okay!

Roy: I heard voices…

Suddenly a gun shot was heard and Falco fell to his knees grasping his chest. From down the hallway, Dark Fox was holding his blaster with smoke billowing out of it. Falco coughed and fell, dead.

Fox: I'm gonna kill that jerk!

Fox charged down the hallway, tears streaming from his eyes. Fox was engulfed in flames.

Fox: EURRRAH!

Fox zoomed at Dark Fox and they smashed into a wall.

Meanwhile Dark Roy, Red Ganondorf, Dark Ness, and Dark Marth burst through a wall and laughed.

Ness: Don't these happenings seem repiticious?

Dark Marth and Roy began to sword fight. Dark Roy and Marth also sword fought. Ness charged at Dark Ness and planted a fist in his face. Red Ganondorf unleashed Warlock Punch and sent Ganondorf into a wall.

Dark Marth: En Garde!

The swords of Roy and Dark Marth clashed together. Sparks flew onto the ground. They continued to slash and block with their swords. Roy grinned and did an up slash with fire. Dark Marth dodged easily and smacked Roy in the head with the hilt of his sword. Roy gasped and did a leg sweep. Dark Marth fell to the ground and grinded his teeth. Dark Marth got up and clashed swords with Roy again. Sweat bulleted from their heads. Dark Marth smiled with an evil look. His eyes filled with a red color as he tried a few more slashes. Suddenly the real Marth was sent into a wall by Dark Roy, smashing so hard he left a dent. Roy turned and gasped. This was a big mistake. Dark Marth jabbed his sword right through Roy's armor and into his chest. Roy gasped wide eyed and fell to the ground clutching his chest, blood seeping through his fingers. Dark Marth drew his sword out and cleaned it of blood. He went to help Red Ganondorf. Everyone was sent flying when Ness unleashed PK Pulse in a green blast that sent the ceiling collapsing onto them all.

***

Fox and Dark Fox were still at it. Dark Fox uppercut Fox sending him into a pillar. Fox grunted and picked himself up. He jumped at Dark Fox and did rapid punches to his jaw the pulled back and let one really powerful one loose. The punch connected with a loud CRACK. Dark Fox spit out two teeth as he flew back and slammed onto the ground.

Fox: I'm gonna make you pay for what you did to Falco.

Dark Fox: Yeah right. Your pathetic world is doomed.

Fox sent a kick flying towards Dark Fox, who grabbed him by the ankle and tossed him into the wall.

***

Sonic, Shadow, and Luigi kept running. Red Sonic and Shadow were gaining on them. Red Shadow pulled a hand back

Red Shadow: CHAOS SPEAR!

A sharp bolt was sent through Sonic's body. Sonic fell to the ground in pain.

Luigi: Sonic!

Luigi darted back and grabbed Sonic and then flung two fireballs at the evil hedgehogs. They darted down the next hallway.

Red Sonic: SONIC WIND!

A blue razor wind engulfed the three warriors and sent them flying. They had numerous cuts on their bodies.

Shadow: Luigi take sonic and go, I have a plan

Luigi: What-a bout-a you?!

Shadow: Don't worry about me, GO!

Luigi grabbed Shadow's shoulder.

Luigi: I won't-a let-a you.

Shadow growled but then nodded. They took off, the red hedgehogs following. They turned into what looked like a church with a statue of Colra in it. The red hedgehogs turned to entered but screamed in pain at the doorway.

Red Shadow: There's a charm. They are safe in there for about four hours.

Red Sonic: They have to leave before then.

***

Ganondorf pushed rubble off himself. Everyone began to get out of the rubble. Everyone except for Dark Falco, who had been killed. Ganondorf came up behind Red Ganondorf.

Ganondorf: THERE CAN AND WILL BE ONLY ONE GANONDORF!

Ganondorf drove his warlock sword into Red Ganondorf's back. The blade went through his back and out his chest. Red Ganondorf's eyes looked like they would fall out of there sockets. Blood oozed from the corners of his mouth. Ganondorf pulled out his sword and laughed.

Red Ganondorf: You will regret that….

Red Ganondorf began to glow a black glow. Ganondorf growled, he knew what was coming. Red Ganondorf screamed as a huge explosion occured. All the warriors gasped as when the smoke cleared Red Ganon stood growling.

Ganondorf: Holy….

He didn't get to finish. Red Ganon drew back a fist and punched Ganondorf sending him through a wall and far away into the trees. Red Ganon roared and followed after him. Marth charged after Ganon and jammed his sword into Red Ganon. Ganon howled and kicked Marth into the rubble. Ness glared and fired a well aimed PK Thunder. Ganon laughed but then gasped as Ganondorf leapt up and decapitated him.

Ganondorf: Like…I..Said…There can only… be one… Ganondorf.

Dark Ness and Dark Marth turned and ran. They vanished in a flicker.

***

Dark Fox and Fox continued to fight. Fox bashed Dark Fox over the head with his blaster. Dark Fox growled and punched him right in the gut. He then rapidly kicked and punched Fox. Fox howled as he fell over a ledge from the second story. He grabbed onto the ledge by one hand. His fingers began to slip from the blood and sweat.

Dark Fox: Any last words?

Fox: If I'm gonna die I'm taking you with me! THIS ONE IS FOR FALCO!

Fox grabbed Dark Fox's leg and fell, the force pulling Dark Fox with him. Dark Fox screamed as they fell the two stories into the pit of lava outside the temple. Fox's last thought was a happy one saying he'd see Falco soon.

***

Sonic, Shadow, and Luigi had been able to sneak away from the red hedgehogs. They ran down the hallway and came to a stop when they saw Ness, Marth, and Ganondorf.

Luigi: We found-a you!

Suddenly Marth gasped as a bolt of thunder went through his chest. Behind him stood Izmal.

Izmal: FOOLS!

Izmal suddenly grew 70 ft tall and grabbed the almost dead Marth. He tossed Marth into his mouth and swished him around a bit before Swallowing.

Luigi: I'M-A GONNA KILL YOU!

Izmal: Yeah after you graduate speech class.

Luigi ran at Izmal, who merely elbowed him. Luigi growled. Sonic and Shadow double teamed Izmal, but he easily dodged and they collided. Ness used PK fire, but it was reflected at him. Ganondorf went to use his sword but Izmal held out a hand and shattered the blade.

Suddenly there was a flash and they were gone.
