War of the Elementals

Chapter 3

It had been two weeks since they had been hiding in this mansion. Marth was starting to miss having Roy around, since he

was always great to talk to when you were feeling down because he was normally cheerful. And at this time Marth was sure as

heck feeling down. He missed Roy alot, and missed all his friends and the times they had spent together. With all of the

violence that had been occuring he had started to wonder if he and his remaining friends would make it through, and if he

could ever truly fight with Roy. Sure they had sparred alot in the past, and fought somewhat, but not like this. The grim

reality began to face him, and he knew soon enough he was going to have to fight his best friend...

" Roy... I didn't mean to treat you like that..." Marth said softly out loud, and was startled to feel a cold, heavy hand

on his shoulder. He turned around sharply to see Roy standing there staring him in the face. Instead of blood red, his eyes

had turned back to their original blue colour. He realised that Roy had broken through Crazy Hand's control somehow.

" Marth... I'm sorry... I shouldn't have left you guys the other day... I shouldn't have freaked out on Link like that..."

Roy was starting to cry. He began to look like a helpless little boy who was lost and couldn't make his way home.

" Roy, how did you get here? And how did you break fre-" Marth was beginning to question him, but Roy was now sobbing. He

was almost knocked off balance when the boy fell into him and started to cry on him.

" Forgive me... My... FRIEND!" The last word was laced with venom as Marth heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and

just narrowly dodged a fatal slash.

Quickly drawing Falchion, Marth put up a defensive stance and was ready to block whatever Roy was going to throw at him.

Roy only laughed. With incredible force, he swung at Marth, and the clang of steel sounded throughout the household. The

other five elementals, including Sephiroth, came to the source of the sound.

" ROY!" Peach and Zelda cried in unison.

" A little help here..." Marth managed to grunt as he was struggling to hold back Roy's blade with his own.

" I've had about enough of Roy. He's simply getting in our way, just like I said!" Link took out his bow and an ice arrow

to freeze the Fire warrior in his tracks.

Link realeased the arrow and it struck Roy, who whirled around immediately.

" Ah Link, we meet again. Come to get another beating?" he laughed and shot a plume of flames at trhe hylian warrior.

" Not a chance. Your the one who's going to suffer now!" drawing the Master Sword, Link charged at Roy. He swung the

divine blade at him, and Roy blocked it with his.

" Ha, you think you can stop me with... WHAT THE?!" Roy cried out as the Master Sword began to glow a golden colour and

starting draining his energy. He gradually got weaker, and finally he fell to his knees. Link proceeded to lift him up and

chuck him into the wall. The half metal warrior wouldn't seem to give up though, and he rose to his feet. He swung his sword

once more at the hylian, and their blades were clashing once more. Thankfully, Roy's strength had been depleted from the

blade of evil's bane, and he was at his normal strength. Link flung him backwards with a quick movement, and used another

quick movement to knock Roy's sword out of his grip. Roy gasped as Link punched him really hard on the un-metal side of his

abdomen. He fell back and Link used this time to pull out his bow again, and point a normal arrow at him.

" Make one more movement, and die traitor." he hissed.

" What happened...? I'm weak again..." Roy said in a weak voice and the blood welling up in his mouth could be heard

gurgling as he spoke.

" Enough! Just stop it!" Peach cried out, and a beam of light shot from her forehead and made a wall in between Link and

Roy.

" Light... She's the incarnation of Light!" Sephiroth gazed in awe.

" Why do we all have to fight?!" she was now crying, " Roy and Link, you two won't stop fighting! You never do! Why can't

you just stop it!?"

Link lowered his bow with a growl in his throat, and Roy just clutched his stomach and looked blankly at her.

" So, Peach is the light elemental... Then that makes just the Spirit and Earth elementals to be discovered..." Marth got

to his feet finally.

In the short time Marth took to say that, Roy was back up, and weilding his sword again. He glared at them harder than

ever, and pointed it at them.

" It's time for you all to die..." he growled.

" Look at you Roy, you can barely stand. Just stop fighting... For me?" Zelda grabbed his hand and looked him in the eyes.

He seemed to gaze at her for a while, and in that moment his eyes flickered blue again and a loving gaze passed through

them. Then he suddenly reverted to his ruthless state and smashed her away from him, infuriating Link, and everyone else.

" That is the last straw you bastard. You will die now!" Link's eyes glowed a green colour and choking vines that appeared

from seemingly nowhere wrapped around Roy's throat and constricted him, causing him to drop the sword.

Roy shocked Link when he raised his hand up to the vines and simply ripped them off. Apparently, he was regaining his

strength, and fast at that. He snatched the sword once again and laughed wickedly as a black aura began swirling around him.

" I've had enough of this foolishness! Now you will ALL PAY!" the aura erupted into black flames that started to swirl

around the room. Link did his best to deflect the flames with his shield and block Zelda. Marth stood in front of Peach to

keep her safe, and Samus' suit was fire-proof.

" Roy, stop it now!" Marth held up his hand and a torrent of water erupted from it, dousing all of the flames and knocking

Roy back.

The half-dragon only growled and charged Marth with his sword. The Altian prince managed to block his blows but was

starting to realise that Falchion was weakening. Roy took one final swing at the divine sword, and it shattered. Marth

gazed in awe as the sword fell in shambles, the only thing in his hands being the hilt.

" Awww... Did I break the poor fool's sword?" Roy taunted with sarcasm, and he laughed.

" How on earth...?" Marth couldn't believe this.

Suddenly a lightning bolt, a vine with thorns, a searing beam of light, a black wave of energy, and a silvery beam shot at

Roy, all of them connecting with his body.

Marth looked to see Zelda crackling with electricity, Link glaring harshly at Roy, Peach holding out her hand, Sephiroth

glowing black, and Samus sparkling. Nodding at them all, he shot a torrent of water at the evil version of his best friend,

and Roy was down again. Judging by the small groan he made, Marth assumed he wasn't getting up anytime soon.

" You may have gotten me down..." his eyes were now weak slits, " But you'll never bring down my master." With those words,

the mansion around them dissappeared, and the seven warriors were left stranded on a field-like area.

The sky here was swirling all sorts of dark menacing colours, and the clouds were blood-red. The orb of blood red light in

the sky made its way down to the ground, and before any of them knew it, there were metal versions of their friends standing

before them. And who was floating menacingly behind them, but Crazy Hand himself.

" I am glad I had a chance to see the elementals together one last time before they were brought to an end. I see you

barely even know how to use your powers yet. How shameful." Crazy Hand laughed. " Kill them! DESTROY THE ELEMENTALS MY ONCE

PURE HEARTED CREATIONS!"

" We're in for it now..." Marth said aloud, and the six elementals got ready for the fight of their lives.

" Master... May I help you dispose of these idiots?" Roy questioned Crazy Hand, bowing on his knees before him. His power

had been completely restored simply from the evil presence.

" FOOL!" Crazy Hand gripped Roy in himself. He drained every ounce of power from him and whipped him to the ground. " Your

use to me has been depleted. I have no need for someone like you."

The half metal Roy lay on the ground and watched the battle happening in front of him. He watched his former friends being

beaten very badly by the newly arrived Giga Bowser, Ganondorf, and Mewtwo. The metal warriors weren't there anymore since

they had formed Giga Bowser once again. Roy started to cry for real, his eyes becoming blue again, and the evil in his heart

dispersing. He sobbed uncontrollably. ' If only I hadn't been such an asshole to them... I could be helping them...' he

thought. He used any strength he could find in himself to pull himself to his feet. The next thing he knew he was in the fray

with his friends.

" We need to figure out how to bring these guys down..." Samus yelled while using her new found ability to freeze time. She

managed to freeze Mewtwo in his tracks.

" I agree!" Marth was busy creating a torrent that washed back Giga Bowsers flames.

" Zelda look out!" Link cried out as Ganondorf charged her with his sword. Strangely enough, the tip of it had become

pointed.

" AHHHHH! HELP!" Zelda cried, but Link was too far away to reach her.

" You'll die now, my little Triforce keeper..." Ganondorf stabbed at her hard.

" ZELDA NO!"

Ganondorf hit her alot sooner than her expected. Looking up, he saw it wasn't Zelda at all, but Roy. If the evil sorceror

had chosen to nail Roy in his metal side, things would've went all right. But the tip of his sword was driven through his

armor. Normally, this may not have been fatal, but as luck would have it, the tip had broken off, was drove in diagonally,

and had pierced right through to Roy's left side...

" Idiot."

" ROY!" Marth, Zelda, Peach, Samus, and surprisingly Link cried in unison. Sephiroth remained emotionless.

Roy was wide-eyed, and he looked at the wound. Then, clutching his chest in agony he slumped right into Zelda. She held him

up with tears in her eyes.

" Zelda..." he choked at her.

" I'm here..."

" Zelda... I... I'm sorry... I know... that your heart belongs to Link..."

" Roy..."

" Is he ok?!" Marth was panicking now. Everyone else remained silent.

" Marth I'm sorry..." Roy was struggling to speak now.

" Roy I'm sorry I never respected you like I should've..." the Prince had tears in his eyes.

" And I'm sorry for acting like I did..." the Hylian was trying to fight it, but he too was shedding tears for Roy. He had

never hated him, but he had always made it seem that way.

" Is he going to be ok?" Peach was in tears now, and with the way Samus hung her head, you could tell she too was enveloped

in saddness.

" I... forgive you..." Roy smiled slightly, and then cried out in pain. " Zelda... I never got a chance to tell you this...

But... I love... you..." He used the last bit of power in his dying body, to lift himself up and kiss her.

They kissed for what seemed like forever. It was their first kiss, but it was also their last. Zelda tasted the iron-like

taste welling in his mouth, and she broke the kiss. She was beginning to cry for him now.

" Good... Bye..." Roy fell limp, and Marth caught him to let him down gently.

The five friends stared in shock at what had just happened. Then Samus brought up a point.

" Have you guys noticed that Crazy Hand, Ganon, Giga Bowser, or nobody at all has attacked us through that whole thing?"

" You're right..." Marth managed to speak coherently, while closing his best friends glazed eyes with his fingertips.

" That's because they were all merely pawns in my plan. The real battle is about to begin. Just wait and see!" a cold voice

echoed across the nearly empty terrain, causing them all to fight the grief and get ready for whatever was about to begin.

And then the terrain went black. None of them could see any of the others. The only thing to be seen was blackness, and

a single falling feather...
