Sephiroth had been the only good opponent he had all day. The Arena had prodigious warriors whos power is with few rivals. And then there are the rest of the combatants, who were better off not trying to shoot so high. Link had been unlucky, since most of the people he fought weren't up to his skill. But even with weak opponents, his power continued to increase, just not by that much.
Link: So many people have been eliminated today. Might as well find out who's left. By now, the crap has probably been weeded out, so there should be a couple good fighters still out there. Lets see... well Akuma's still in this, and so is X and Vegeta. By the look of things, Akuma probably doesn't have an opponent. Good, since I'm probably the best candidate for the job, it's time to take him down.
Link flew off to find Akuma. He noticed that many of the fighters had been knocked out. Few could still fight. And after a short fight, he saw Akuma, just floating in mid-air. Akuma opened his eyes and saw Link flying towards him. He turned his attention to Link, and Link stopped himself.
Akuma: My, you're a new face. I don't suppose you want to challenge me, right?
Link: My last several bouts were with people that weren't meant for the game. I figured I'd see what the champ is made of. So then, ready for a real fight?
Akuma: You don't know what you're getting yourself into, kid. But if you really want to end your promising career so early, then go for it.
Link flew after Akuma. As he was about to clash with him, they both phased out. They threw off large amounts of energy whenever they came in contact with each other. Link fired a barrage of energy shots, but Akuma dodged them and punched Link in the face. Link retaliated with a hard hook. With Akuma dazed, Link kneed him in the gut and bashed him into the ground. It didn't take Akuma long to get up, though.
Akuma: Not bad. However, I didn't become champion just by taking beatings. Lets see how you do when I put some effort into this fight.
Akuma quickly leapt after Link. He hit Link with a barrage of quick punches. Link managed to grab both of his fists after being pummeled for awhile. Akuma started generating energy. When he sent the energy to his hands, it burned Links hands and he immediately let go. With Link distracted, Akuma grabbed his arms and directed him into the path of a nearby mountain. Link head butt Akuma and flipped him above himself. They both ended up crashing into the mountain.
After crashing into a mountain, both fighters peeled themselves off of it. They both attacked each other with quick punches and kicks. Link jumped back and chucked a boomerang at Akuma, who only deflected it with a punch. Link quickly advanced towards Akuma and gave him an uppercut that sent him into the sky. Link flew after Akuma and eventually caught up to him. He gripped his sword and used his Spin Attack to shoot Akuma away from him.
Link: I can't believe I can actually stand a chance against the champion. And maybe I can beat him afterall. This should make that guy happy.
Akuma: So, you're battling me for someone else?
Link: He wants you dead. He says you kill everybody that challenges you for your title.
Akuma: Then that guy is an idiot. I haven't killed anybody in this competition so far. The Arenas regeneration machine makes it next to impossible. Although I have killed in the past...
Link: Murderer... you will pay for each person you've killed!
Akuma: And you expect to make me pay? Ha! You can barely match my talents! Besides, I killed those people a long time ago, even their families have probably gotten over it by now!
Link couldn't hear it anymore. He charged at Akuma. He went for a power punch, but Akuma materialized right through Link. Akuma went for several punches of his own, but Link, still with his back turned, managed to dodge the punches. He round housed Akuma away, then charged after him. Akuma tried his Dragon Punch, but Link moved to the side and blasted him hard. The impact drilled Akuma into a mountain. With incredible power, Akuma exploded out of the mountain.
Akuma: You are an extraordinary fighter. You've slightly surpassed my base power. I think it's time I step it up a bit. It's hard to contain so much power in this state, so I created a transformation so I can sustain a power so awesome it can bring a Super Saiya-jin to his knees. Lets see if it can do the same to a Hylian elf warrior.
Akuma began to power up. He generated a blood red energy and the ground began to shake. Parts of the land were ripped apart and began to rise. Akumas hair began to lengthen, and his body size increased a little. To finish the transformation, Akuma sent out a shockwave, throwing Link back a distance. The land fragments began to fall back to Earth, and Akuma transformed into Shin Akuma.
With Akumas transformation into Shin Akuma, can Link find some way to defeat him? Stay tuned...
