A/N: This is the final chapter of the short crossover fic. However, this time, both Anthony Bault and myself have worked on it, to give you the best ending possible. I know it's short, but there are a few ideas of a later crossover fic which takes place much later in both "sagas".

Chapter 5: Showdown

Anthony stepped into the office, Gilder unconscious in his grasp.

Behind him, Diablo gasped, "How...how did...?" he stammered.

"I don't care how powerful you are, but your mind is an open book, Diablo," Anthony said. "I could sense your true intentions a mile away, so I decided to play along until Master Link, I, and our teams could get together and corner you."

"But how...your dark side..." Diablo continued to stammer.

"Oh, that?" Anthony said. "Me and my dark half merged during a vacation to Station Square I took a while back. We are one now. In fact..." Anthony's armor then began to change from black to silver, reverting to its original form. "...I found I was able to psionically change the appearance to look like the Dark Gamemaster's!"

Master Link nodded, "I knew that!"

"Sure you did," said Anthony.

Diablo shouted in rage, "No matter! I shall destroy you both now!"

He started transforming into a gigantic version of himself, and shouted down at the two, sending them into the wall.

"Tough, but not nearly tough enough!" said Master Link, jumping back up, "You stay here and watch as I beat this one to a bloody pulp!"

He jumped in the air, unsheathing his swords and slashing away.

Anthony rolled his eyes, "Is he always this way?"

"Yes, he's even worse than me sometimes!" said Vegeta.

Diablo knocked Master Link down onto the ground, and attacked Anthony.

Anthony jumped away, drawing his lightsaber, "You want a piece of me?"

Diablo grinned, "If you kill me, you're all going to die!"

The wall blew up, and two robots walked in.

"Packbell?" Anthony shouted, "You show up at the worst times!"

"Spare it, Gamemaster! I'm not here for you, I'm here for that freak that tried to take over my mind!"

"Who's your partner?" asked Sonic.

The other robot changed into Shifter, "It's time to die, Diablo!"

The two villains jumped up at the giant phantom, blasting away.

"Hey, Anthony!" shouted Master Link, "We shouldn't kill him here, otherwise this place would blow up!"

"How so?"

"He's a living bomb, waiting to destroy everything upon death!"

Anthony looked at Master Link, "You're sure about that?"

"He just said so, didn't he? If we kill him, we die!"

"Maybe it's something else..."

"What, you can't kill a phantom and live? I don't think so..."

They both looked at Packbell and Shifter, who were sent flying off the giant phantom.

Master Link shot a large beam of energy at him, pushing him back into the wall.

Diablo shouted, and struggled.

He took a step forward, and Master Link concentrated harder, pushing him back into the wall, cracking it.

"Anthony, help him!" shouted Amy.

Anthony looked at Master Link, who was glowing in white light, "Listen!" he shouted, "Shoot your strongest attack at me! A can channel it straight to him, destroying him!"

Shifter got up, and looked at the destroyed robotic body next to him, "Looks like I'm on my own!"

He charged at Diablo, transforming into a giant gargoyle and knocking him off balance.

"Shifter, NO!"

Shifter laughed, "I'll die, and come back! None of you will!"

Master Link narrowed his eyes, "Now, Anthony! FIRE!"

Diablo got back up behind Shifter, and Master Link ran at them, intensifying his energy and pushing them out of the complex, toward the sky.

Hovering, he exited the complex, still concentrating his energy on the two villains, "Hurry up, I can't hold on for much longer!"

Anthony looked at Major Sharpe, "If I do what he asked, the whole military complex may collapse!"

"Teleport out, and use the Descendancy Powers!"

Anthony looked at him, and at everybody else in the room, then nodded.

Master Link smiled, and his eyes narrowed more, "Shifter, DIE!"

Anthony Bault appeared over a nearby mountain, and saw the battle taking place in midair, "Well, Master Link, it was nice knowing you!"

A voice rung in his head, *Just do it!*

Anthony hesitated, *Master Link?*

*Yes, nice to see you too, but I kind of need immediate help here!*

*You're not a psionic! You're not even Arcadian!*

*Half-Arcadian, actually! Damn it, I can't hang on much longer!*

Anthony looked as Shifter started absorbing the power, growing bigger, "Well, then..."

He charged up him ultimate attack, Final Power.

Anthony released a great beam of energy, aimed at Master Link.

Master Link smiled, "It's time, Shifter!"

Shifter's eyes widened, and Master Link winked, "Until I see you again!"

The beam hit the glowing Master Link, who broke into small light particles, "LIGHT BLAST!"

The beam hit the light particles just as it had hit Shifter and Diablo.

Anthony fell on his knees, watching what was going on, "It's up to you now!"

Master Link unleashed the Final Power he had absorbed, and the Light Blast, sending the two flying upwards.

The two of them transformed into a large ball of energy, and exploded.

Master Link reformed, and started falling.

Anthony looked at him as he slammed into the ground, then fell down, unconscious.

Elsewhere, the Silvite called Fina stopped in her pace.

"Fina, come on, let's go!"

She closed her eyes, "Something bad has happened,"

----------------------------------------------------

"Okay," said Gilder, "Was all this necessary?"

"I think they deserved it, those bad guys!" replied Amy.

"Alright, men!" shouted Major Sharpe, "I want two groups to head out! We need to get the fighters back!"

"Aye, sir!" shouted a soldier, and walked out.

Amy started crying.

"I am sure the Gamemaster is going to be fine," said Mary, "He'll recover in a few days."

Both mother and daughter looked at Team Master Link.

Vegeta had doubt in his eyes, as well as everyone else in the team.

"If it means anything, guys..." said Major Sharpe, "I'm sorry..."

Gilder shook his head, "When I've seen him battling an entire army, I never thought he would be killed this easy,"

Everybody looked down in silence.

"He was a hero, to say the least..."

----------------------------------------------------

"He should've fallen somewhere around here!" said a soldier, "Let's go on foot!"

Five soldiers jumped out of the humvee and spread out.

"Sir!" shouted one, "I've found a crater, but there's no sign of anyone down there!"

The five soldiers gathered up by the crater and looked down.

One of them picked up his transmitter, "Major, I think we've lost him..."

The Major looked at the others in the room, "I'm sorry..."

(Insert here: KRWLNG by Linkin Park starts playing)

A silhouette appeared in the smoke. The soldiers looked at him, and spoke into the radio, "Major, we've spotted someone! It may be him!"

Slowly, Master Link limped toward them, and they ran to assist him.

He raised his hand in front of him, "No, I'm fine," he said hoarsely, "Go find Anthony!"

The soldiers stood on both either side of him, ready to catch him if he fell down.

Master Link grabbed his arm, which was burnt, and climbed into the humvee.

"Gentlemen," said Major Sharpe, "It appears your friend is alive!"

Team Master Link cheered.

Anthony entered, being pushed by a wheelchair.

"It was quite a show you've pulled back there!" said the outlander Vegeta, impressed.

"Well, Vegeta," Anthony turned to the other one, "It seems that at least one version of you is honest!"

Vegeta looked at him, his face turning red.

Amy ran at Anthony, hugging him, "You're alive!"

"Yes, I am..."

"One thing confused me, though. Why didn't I become unconscious after the Final Power?"

"I don't know," said Mario.

----------------------------------------------------

The next day:

Anthony was back in his house, sitting in the living room and watching TV.

"Reruns, reruns, news, reruns, talk show, news..."

Sally walked in, "Hello,"

Anthony looked at her, What are you doing here?"

"Everybody's worried about you, even Master Link,"

Anthony chuckled, "How's he doing anyway?"

"Oh, he's doing fine. Already he's overlooking the repairs on the ship!"

"Is that so?"

----------------------------------------------------

"Yes, a little to the left, guys!"

The frustrated crew dropped the metal pole on Kuno's head, smashing him through the ship's hull.

"Oh, nasty!" said Sonic, "That ought to leave a mark!"

Anthony teleported in with his wheelchair, and Sally, "Hello!"

Master Link turned around to face him, "It's you! How are you feeling today?"

"Much better, actually!" he said, "It looks like you're completely cured!"

"Yeah, it would take much more than that to hurt me, actually,"

"That's good to hear," said Anthony, "I'll be out of this chair within a day or two,"

"Yeah," said Master Link, then turned around to face the crew, "I leave you alone for ten seconds, and you can't even run a single damn thing? We need to get this thing off the ground as soon as possible!"

Sally laughed, "I think you and your crew need to rest. Give it a few days while I assign a professional team to work on its repair!"

Master Link thought for a second, "I don't want to be any trouble..."

"Master Link," Gilder ran at him, and saw Sally with a bit of lust in his eyes, "Please, let's stay here for a couple of days!"

"You can stay in the castle, it's no trouble at all!" Sally suggested, "There's a whole wing ready for you!"

"Okay, then," Master Link smiled, "thanks!"

This ends the chapter! All that's left is an epilogue, which is coming pretty soon!
