Dark clouds soared above the Airship. A heated battle, between two ferocious rivals, was soon to be fueled by the fire of pride. Link was teleported to the Airship, as well as Pikachu. The dark clouds turned the sky completely gray. This was gonna get ugly...
Pikachu: I will give you one last chance, back out of this fight now, or seal your fate!
Link: Oh, I didn't think you intended to kill me, but I will get you for what you did!
Pikachu: I really thought you were man enough to keep that in the past, but you can't live without that memory, can you? If I absolutely have to kill you to convince you to grow up, then so be it!
The two proud fighters dashed towards each other and power punched each other in the face. Pikachu went for a leg sweep, but Link jumped. Seeing this, Pikachu quickly round housed, but Link's pliable body was able to pull off a mid-air duck. From that mid-air duck, Link tried to drop kick Pikachu, but he used his speed to fly into the sky. He electrified himself and charged back down to the top of the ship. He tried to crash into Link with his electric body, but Link moved out of the way. Pikachu followed. Link sprung back with a forward slash, knocking Pikachu back a distance.
Link leapt into the air. He attempted to crash down on Pikachu like he'd seen him do earlier. As Link nearly hit Pikachu, Pikachu used his back flip kick, but Link stopped himself in mid-air and kicked Pikachu to one of the cannons. Link was still suspended in mid-air.
Link: What the... am I just floating? I don't see anything pushing me up.
Link began to move in all sorts of directions while floating. As he got the hang of it, he flew after Pikachu. Pikachu triggered the fire of the cannon, and it shot at the airborne Link. Link couldn't match that kind of speed, and he took a heavy hit from the cannon shell. With Link distracted, Pikachu flew above him and latched onto him. Pikachu then drilled Link through the hull of the ship and they ended up in the command room
Pikachu: I must say you're stronger than I first anticipated. But that doesn't mean I can't beat you.
Link: Oh, so far the only way you've inflicted major damage to me was when you fired that cannon at me.
Pikachu: I have tricks up my sleeve that are far deadlier than a little artillery fire.
Pikachu used his Quick Attack to get close to Link without notice. He administered his Thunder Wave on Link. With Link now paralyzed, Pikachu smacked him around like a beach ball. He tail whipped him into the control panel. Link took a hefty aftershock when he crashed through the control panel.
Pikachu: So, do you want me to kick your ass, or should I let the Airship do it for me? Or perhaps you'd like to kick your own ass?
Link gets up wobbly.
Link: Save your lame remarks until after you beat me, if you actually do.
Being paralyzed, Links speed was significantly reduced, but he still dashed towards Pikachu. Slower slash speed helped Pikachu dodge each attack. He grabbed Links sword and swung him like a sack of bologna. When Pikachu let go, Link was tossed into the docking sector. Pikachu tried to elbow Link, but somehow Link managed to dodge his attack.
Pikachu: What the...? Paralysis is wearing off? It never happened before, why now? And why is it wearing off with Link?
As Pikachu began to pass Link, Link swung his sword and whacked Pikachu in the spine. The impact caused Pikachu to careen through a fighter aircraft and eventually smack against a wall. Link shook off lingering pains and powered up.
Link: I guess that guy wasn't lying when he said my power grows with every fight. So come get a taste of what I can offer now!
Link dashed after Pikachu once again. Pikachu sent out a Thundershock that filled almost the whole sector with electricity. Link was hit with a couple small shocks, but dodged the major shocks and fired an energy blast at Pikachu, knocking him out of the electrical onslaught. With Pikachu dazed for the moment, Link powered up and drilled Pikachu through the floor and outside the Airship. It took awhile for Pikachu to regain his composure and soon after, Link followed Pikachu outside.
Link: I hope you realize what you could have avoided just by staying out of my business. You have been crushed, and none of this would've happened if you would've left me alone.
Pikachu: I believe earlier you said "Save your lame remarks until after you beat me". Follow your own advice and shut the fuck up.
Pikachu charged himself up with electric power, and Link flew towards him. At the last possible moment, Pikachu unleashed Thunder Blast. The massive shockwave completely enraptured Link.
Pikachu: I did you a favor by defeating 3 warriors you could barely even scratch! You just had to have a problem with it and take it out on me. Now look at you; you've been torn apart and left beaten.
Link: Who said I was beaten?
Pikachu: You're kidding me!
Link emerged from the Thunder Blast and stabbed Pikachu with his sword. The attack instantly stopped, and Link had a ghastly look on his face. Could Link's pride have cost a warrior his life?
Link: Oh no... I never meant to get so carried away...
As Link mourned for the loss of his adversary, he and the dying body were teleported back to the stadium. When Link was teleported, Pikachu was at the other teleport pad.
Announcer: A little brutal, but a phenomenal match indeed. What are your thoughts on your victory?
Link: Why should I be congratulated for this match! I shafted Pikachu... I didn't want to go so far...
Announcer: Geez, you really are a newcomer to The Arena. In the unfortunate event a warrior gets killed, we just respawn them back to life. You probably seen people brought back to life on Unreal Tournament.
A beam suddenly struck Pikachu and his mortal wound was covered by his own flesh, until he was brought back to normal. Pikachu slowly began to get up.
Announcer: A living body is a wonderful thing, it can heal on its own. We can just accelerate the process many thousands of times.
Pikachu soon got up and walked towards Link.
Pikachu: You gave me a match I won't forget anytime soon.
Link: Just glad to know you're fine. We've settled this issue, now we can put it behind us.
The two warriors who were at each others throats shook hands. The crowd went crazy with delight, and the fighters left the ring.
