Disclaimer: I do not own the smashers, Lord of the Rings, Inuyasha, ZOIDS, or Yu-Gi-Oh!, but I do own the insane nicknames I gave them. I own my characters, KittyX and Kosei. Please do not flame! ^_^;; Oh, also, I don't own Kigari's characters, Host, Trey, Melema, Kyora, etc. Sorry to use them without asking. XD

Author's Notes: Resumed my working schedule. I hope to get atleast up to six chapters done before I post this up. I feel this will be my most updated story... I dunno, it's fun. I think I finally found something to my liking. ^^;

(Crossover)

Chapter 4 - Todokanai mama naita watashi wa doko e yuku

(With the moon's shadow out of reach, I cry. Where am I going?)

Roy yawned once more as he slowly dressed into his now very familiar outfit. He effortlessly put on his armour and cape, not even bothering to brush his hair as he stumbled out of his room and into the gym for the continuing of the tournament. He barely got any sleep last night, due to the chat on the net, but what other choice did he have? To save his friend, he'd have to do whatever he could! ...and, unfortunately, that meant loosing sleep. He took a drink from the water fountain and splashed some water over his face to hopefully wake him up, but to no avail. He was still as tired as ever.

"I might have to sit out the tournament today," he mumbled to himself.

"Don't say that! You'll do just fine with the Fuuin no Tsurugi by your side," a voice called from behind Roy.

The boy swung around, having been shocked back into reality by the voice. He relaxed when his eyes fell upon the familiar face of his best friend and long time buddy, Marth.

"Thanks," Roy grinned, having been semi-woken up by Marth's interruption, "I'm just tired."

"Aren't we all?" Marth stretched, rubbed his eyes, and resumed his formal pose, "You're gonna be keeping us up all night for the next few weeks, I have a feeling," he winked.

Roy sweatdropped.

"Sorry if I do, but I really want to get Link back. I feel so bad for not being there for him."

"Aw, calm down. We have a bunch of friends by our side. We'll be fine. How many times will I have to remind you? Not only that, we have a tournament to get to! Come on! We're going to be late for the first match!" Marth grabbed Roy's cape and tugged him into the audience stands, where they both took a seat to watch the first match of day two.

"So, who's fighting?" Roy grinned, back to his pyromaniacish-like self.

"Ness and Mario! I'll bet you five bucks Ness wins,"

"You're on! I have faith in Shigeru Miyamoto's classic Jumpman!" Roy laughed, shaking Marth's hand with that trademark flame in his eyes. (an: yes, mario's original name was jumpman...way back when...he wasn't named mario until later, i don't know why, but that's all i know! ^_^)

"Will Ness and Mario please report to the field teleporters!" the announcer shouted once more.

The boy from Onett stood ready in front of his teleporter, but the Italian plumber was no where to be seen. Peach came running in screaming, tears flowing from her eyes.

"He's gone!"

Roy stood up, alerted by those words and the sudden notice of Mario's absence in front of the teleporter.

"Mario has been assigned 10 seconds to report to the teleporters, or Ness wins on default! 10! 9! 8! 7! 6! 5! 4! 3! 2! ...1! Mario has been disqualified! Ness wins the match!"

Peach collapsed on the floor, sobbing. Samus and Zelda went up to the princess to console her, but she was to busy worrying about her Mushroom Kingdom-saving plumber to care. Roy, on the other hand, was shaking violently. His eyes held a scared look, and his face was extremely pale -- just as if he had seen a ghost.

Marth put a hand on Roy's shoulder.

"You alright?" he paused, and when he got no reply, he added, "I'd like my five bucks now, Roy," he laughed in a friendly way, but Roy turned around and glared at Marth.

"You knew it all along! You knew that Mario would get taken next! Actually, I bet you're the one! You took Link! You took Mario! YOU'RE THE ONE!"

Marth stepped back, shocked. What was Roy saying?

"Are you...accusing me? Roy?"

The pyromaniac went forward, pushing Marth back even further.

"Yeah, that's right! You're a traitor! You took Jumpman! And Link! Of all people, Marth, I thought you were my friend!" tears were on the verge of streaming down in Roy's shimmering blue eyes.

"I didn't kidnap them, Roy! You have to trust me!" by now, every single person in the gym had their eyes on Roy and Marth, with the exception of Peach.

"I can't trust you at all! I know you did! You knew! You knew, didn't you? You kept it hidden well, Marth, but I've found out now!" Roy unsheathed the Fuuin no Tsurugi and placed the point right at Marth's neck, "You...you...TRAITOR!"

Marth was shocked. What was he to say to convince Roy? Had he gone insane?

"Tell me, Roy," Marth tried to win back over his friendship, "why would I kidnap Link and Mario? Why?"

Roy paused, and his angered eyes subsided into a blank, innocent look. But, just as slowly as they subsided, they grew back just as ferocious as ever.

"I...I don't know! But you have your reasons! ...and I have mine to kill you here and now!"

"Would you really do that to your best friend?"

Roy froze once more.

"Y-Yes," he stammer, his confidence slowly falling, "Yes, I would! If it meant saving twenty-five other people! An eye for an eye, you know. But in this case, two eyes for two eyes! Link and Mario's great triumphs will not be in vain!"

"Roy," Zelda placed a hand on his shoulder.

The boy jumped, shocked by Zelda's sudden appearance. He was still violently shaking and breathing heavily. His eyes were wide with fear and anger, and his voice was shaky, as was someone whom was crying, but he wouldn't let the tears fall. No, not in front of Marth.

"Marth didn't take Link and Mario. You were with him the whole time both yesterday and today. How could he? Drop the Fuuin no Tsurugi and back away," Zelda slowly took the sword from Roy's shaking hands and dropped it in the chair beside her.

Marth exhaled, relieved the sword was gone from his neck. But he felt so bad for Roy...he was so shaken up, both physically and emotionally. The pyro's tears came flowing down at last, and he turned around, took his sword, and ran, the gym doors slamming shut.

"Pikachu, Captain Falcon, Falco, Peach, Yoshi, and Dr. Mario's fights will resume later today, possibly tomorrow," the announcer's weak voice stated softly over the intercom, he too was shaken from Roy's outburst, "call this an early break."

There was ultimate silence after that. No one dared move. No one dared to speak. And no one dared to bother Marth, or even try to find Roy.

Author's Notes: ^_^ Yay! Chapter four! Just try and guess what I have planned! ^_^ (accomplished sigh) I'm so proud to of come up with this plot. XD
