Chapter 4: Light and Darkness
Master Link and Anthony faced each other, panting.
"I have underestimated you, Gamemaster!"
"I could say the same about you! Still, you will not beat me!" replied Anthony.
Master Link backflipped and kicked Anthony in the chest, knocking him back.
Anthony got up, grinning, "My turn!" he activated him lightsaber and raised it over his head, then brought it down.
Master Link blocked it with his two cutlasses, then used them as a scissor to trap the blade in between them.
Anthony deactivated and reactivated the lightsaber, then slashed at Master Link, "Bull's-eye!" he shouted.
Master Link looked down at his chest, where a large black gash appeared, then looked back at Anthony, who punched him, sending him flying out of the destroyed ship.
Anthony turned around, and saw Diablo standing, "Good job, Anthony, or is it Dark Gamemaster now?"
He looked at Diablo, furious.
"Unfortunately, Master Link is still against me, which may pose a problem to us..."
Anthony deactivated his armor, "He won't pose much of a problem!"
---------------------------------------------------
Master Link landed in the middle of the street, and a car skidded, avoiding him.
He looked up, and walked to it, "So much for knocking some sense back into me!"
Master Link stepped in, only to be greeted by a human-fox, "Hey, kid? Are you alright?"
"I need to see the highest possible authorities in this fricking place!"
"That would be the Gamemaster!"
"No, you don't understand! This concerns the Gamemaster!"
"I think we should go to his home then! He has portals that access all the worlds of Arcadia!"
Master Link leaned back, putting his hand on his chest, covering the gash from the lightsaber.
---------------------------------------------------
Bursting into the door, he found Team Master Link and the Heroes Council talking to each other.
"I wondered when I'd find you guys!" he told his crew, "I never expected to see you with our...enemies?"
"We're not enemies. Your team explained everything about you, Master Link," said Sally, "It seems we were both given the wrong impression about each other!"
"O-kay then..." Master Link forced an uneasy smile, "Your Gamemaster guy just turned evil." A few gasps escaped the Arcadian people, "I take it that this has happened before?"
Two people entered, a guy and a girl, "Hey, what did we miss?"
Master Link turned around, "Just the Gamemaster's evil side!"
"I'm sorry, who are you?"
"He's Master Link," said Gilder, stepping forward, "Don't worry, he's an ally!"
Master Link rolled his eyes, "Do you really have to do this?"
"Of course!"
"Master Link, those two are the other Gamemasters of Arcadia! Meet Gamemaster Lars Olson and Gamemaster Jenna Larson." Said Tails.
"So there are more, eh? Listen, guys. We need to have you both available to stop Anthony. His dark side has become dominant over him for some reason!"
"Don't worry about that," said Amy, "Once he deactivates his armor, it would be over and he would change back,"
"Well, this is reassuring!" he said, "But there's another thing. A phantom called Diablo had set a trap for us to turn evil, to join him. He will try again, and I bet that he would go to Anthony in that weakened state!"
*You seek something else, don't you?* spoke a voice into his mind. He looked at Amy, who was smiling, "What the heck?"
*You seek the portals! You need military help, or so you think!*
He spoke out loud, "I guess I might need military help,"
The Heroes Council looked at each other, then at Team Master Link, "This is too risky!" said Sonic, "They don't even know you!"
"Maybe not, but there is no risk...at least not from my side! Show me how to get to them!"
Sally lead Master Link and his team to the portal room, "This is the portal that will take you straight to Earth," she said, pointing at the one on the right, "Once there, you'll need to contact a Major Sharpe. Just tell him we sent you..."
Master Link rolled his eyes, "So we're going to have to do this the boring way! Come on, guys. We've got a military base thing to visit..."
"Wait," said Mario, "It's-a better if you went alone! If-a they see that many strangers from-a the portal, they-a will think you are hostile!"
"Thanks for the advice, Mario," said Master Link, "But you know who those guys are?"
Mario shook his head.
"Gilder from Skies of Arcadia, Kuno and Shampoo are from the anime Ranma ½, Vegeta is from Dragonball Z, but you already know that!"
The Arcadian Vegeta walked in, "OH, great! I AM A SIFF!"
"What's a SIFF?" asked the other Vegeta.
They rolled their eyes and handed him a piece of paper, "It's all in here!"
"That was cold!" said Master Link.
"Well, after they asked us a billion times, everywhere we went, we figured out that this was a good way to save our breath!" said the Arcadian Vegeta, "My idea!"
Ignore him..." said Sally.
"Don't worry, I know how he is!"
"Well, let's contact Major Pointy!"
"It's Major Sharpe!"
"Whatever!" said Master Link, stepping into the portal.
"Guys," said Tails, "I guess we have to check out any info we can find about this Diablo character!"
"I doubt we would find something we actually like!"
---------------------------------------------------
The military personnel standing on the Earth side of the portal saluted the people coming, "Welcome back, Gamemaster!"
Several forms appeared from the portal, and the guards dropped their jaws, "Wait! You're not the Gamemaster! Who are you? How did you find your way here?"
Master Link chuckled, almost expecting this reaction, "Hey, one question at a time!"
The guards raised their machineguns, "Don't make one move!"
Master Link smiled.
"Major Sharpe, we've got an intruder here, and he's not with the Gamemaster!"
"I'm on my way!" said the Major, and the guards pointed their guns at Master Link.
"Do you really have to be this hostile? I bet that's why all those B-rated alien movies show those aliens holding grudges against us!"
A man with stars and medals on his uniform stepped in, "They don't look menacing..."
"Looks can be deceiving, sir!" shouted a short guard with glasses.
"Shut up, son!" replied the Major, "So, who are you and what brings you here?"
"My name is Master Link," he replied, "And those are my loyal friends and team. We've come here to tell you about something concerning Arcadia!"
"Good God! What is it?" he demanded.
"I think we may need to talk in private, don't you, Major?"
Major Sharpe nodded, "Follow me!"
He headed to his office, and Master Link followed, closing the door.
"Have a seat, Master Link. You're not really from Arcadia, are you?"
"Half-Arcadian, half-Hylian,"
"Interesting. So, what is going on with Arcadia, and where is the Gamemaster?"
"He's turned into the Dark Gamemaster!"
"WHAT? I thought he managed to fix that problem!"
"Apparently not. My evil was dominant for a moment as well, but he managed to..."
"To...what?"
"He sent me flying out of there, and somehow, I've regained control!"
"That must mean...he's helped you get out of there!"
Master Link appeared to be deep in thought, "I don't know if he did it intentionally, or just considered it another attack!"
"I would think he's got a motive. Is there something you haven't told me?"
"Yes, there's this evil phantom thing which wanted to turn us both evil to form an alliance with him. He might have got to Anthony, and still tries to hunt me down!"
"It seems you have figured everything out, except for one thing!" said Anthony from the doorway, holding an unconscious Gilder.
Master Link jumped up, and saw everybody behind Anthony were knocked out cold.
Diablo laughed from the middle of the room, "I'm the best actor in the multiverse!"
Anthony turned to face him, "Second best..."
(A/N: Sorry, I couldn't help it but put in the famous line from BtVS)
Master Link and Major Sharpe stared at Anthony, dumbstruck.
End of Chapter! I hope you enjoyed it! Now, for God's sake, review!
A/N: The next chapter will bring this story to an end. I hope you enjoyed it (although I would have expected a few more reviews)...
Anyway, see you in the grand finale!
