A/N: Ah, second to last chapter… after this story I'll either start a Gorillaz crossover with… something I haven't decided on… T-T or a Harry Potter/LoZ crossover, or maybe just another SSBM. However I won't even begin to start them until this story is finished. I worked so hard on concentrating on this story only without other distractions, so I can't stop now. Heh, anyways yep, a Wire Frame was the murderer. So to all those who said Marth was obvious, he most definitely was… but it wasn't him XD (for the record that twist was planned from the beginning, got to pay attention to the Twilight Zone narrations people…which actually explains nothing… then… ah screw it). So this chapter, finishes off the adventure, then the next is how it's all tied together for the remaining loose ends, so the last chapter isn't just an epilogue. Now for the reviews…

Betrayal

Lemurian-Girl- Heh, well in your next review you found it wasn't humor but no worries. I like to put humor in my story, though it was more fore-shadowing.

Realization

Blazing Fool - Hmm… seems obvious doesn't it? However nothing is as it seems in the Twilight Zone. Yeah, I wouldn't trust a frame either, but it's the only lead they have. Heh, next it'll be a random passerby. Yay inklings! XD

KawaiiYuki- Thank you! This is my first time ever writing in this Horror/Mystery genre. Normally I'm in Humor (since I can never stay serious, which is why I will probably fail at writing a drama) or Action/Adventure, but I wanted to try something different. Heh, I love the cliffies! They drive me insane as well.

Zekoi: Poor Marth, I had set him up… XD oh well… Thank you, here's your update!

The Silver Kitty- Nah, it's not nit-picking if I asked for it XD. For some reason I couldn't find the deserves/deserved thing, but the murderer one I found (damn the double er, I must have accidentally done that about fifty times when writing it, can't believe I missed that one). Thank you so much! bows I'm glad you like the story!

Lemurian-Gir l- LOL, I did that once in a review, I was so embarrassed because the author was like 'WTF?' XD but don't worry about it, I kid around a lot in my stories. Thank you lol.

It's a Mystery- thank you! I'm guessing you read it with someone since you said we. I work very hard with the vocabulary (can't use the same word twice right?). I seriously try my best with grammar. I'm not sure which part of grammar you mean, sentence structure or punctuation? (Or could it be the possessive 's/s' thing, I can never get that right T-T, if that's what you mean, I am so badly confused by that it's not even funny… well… maybe a little…), no offense taken! I'm glad you like it so far! I wrote this story earlier, and (as you can see) my writing style changes as the story progresses, unsure of what to really do about that I might just revise older chapters, but I'm satisfied for right now.

NintendoNut1 (for both) - Yay! I'm so sorry about the chapter mix-up! But lucky you, you got to see some of the chapter lol. I was so mortified when I did that, I lamented on it for the rest of the day. Nah, I couldn't make Marth a murderer XD.

doubledude- Yes, the Twilight is weird but that was a chapter mix-up! I suggest going back and rereading chapter five before this, so everything will make sense.

Libster- /taps foot/ And where were you. Lol, just kiddin'. Ah, yes. Another guessed Giga Bowser also (also because of the password), but ya never know (or do you? Hmm…)

Disclaimer: I don't own SSBM or the Twilight Zone… sniffs and walks off

The Twilight Zone

Chapter Six- Dare

"Giga 1 12" Came Marths' cool voice from beside me. I gave a nervous glance to the blue-haired swordsman who did not return it, he only glared intently at the door in the basement; it almost seemed that his unbroken stare itself could break it down. I heard a couple beeps a turns as the door unwillingly began to unlock itself. As it made these strange noises I turned, for a spilt second, and looked up at the door leading back upstairs. We had taken the word of the Wireframe, and decided to head down to the basement. Since we didn't exactly know where it was, we had to ask Link, who had been profoundly confused by Marth.

"What happened to you?" he asked eyeing the bandages and the sling. "You were fine a moment ago…" Marth seemed just as confused, for he had never previously met Link. Before anything else could be said I hastily asked where the basement was. Link blinked f1oor for a minute as he thought of the whereabouts and then promptly pointed. When we left him, I could see his confused and concerned gaze staring after us.

Finally after one more beep there was a resounding 'click' which rang throughout the room. Marth turned to me with a determined look.

"It's unlocked, are you ready?" I grabbed my sword.

"I should ask you that. You're arm is still hurt." He glanced at his arm and shrugged,

"I'll use my other."

"Easier said then done."

"I suppose, but there are people upstairs, who are probably eager to leave, and we have to find that child you mentioned. I'll just have to do it anyway." I frowned slightly, for I had forgotten about Young Link. There was peace for a moment.

"Alright, I'll just keep an eye on you then." I mused innocently; and before he could protest the notion I threw open the door and stepped inside.

"Can you see anything?" Marth questioned as he followed after me, luckily forgetting the previous argument, I hadn't wanted to further expand on it. I shook my head; the room was pitch black, the only light was from the open basement door, which only provided enough for me to see the other swordsman Suddenly without warning the door quickly shut making Marth and I give a jump as we're were cast into the dark.

"We should have expected that." I moaned as I approached where the door was and grasped at the darkness for some touch of a handle, however I could not even feel a wall. Upon hearing the lack of sound Marth came alongside me.

"Why not try the password?" With a nod I said,

"Giga 1 12…"

No response.

"Gigi 1 12!" I said a little louder this time.

Once more, it was silent.

"Giga 1-!"

"Enough!" said Marth cutting me off before I completely lost it. "That's not working, there must be someway out of this room." I walked the way opposite to the door again, more slowly this time, for I was afraid that I would trip over something, when the room completely lit up. However, it wasn't exactly a room we were standing in anymore… we were on a long platform, with several smaller platform floated above us, all gleaming with a purple hue. The sky swirled in a mixture of similar purples, with blue and black mixed in it and was eerily illuminating our faces. I spared a glance at Marth, who seemed just as bewildered as I.

"Where are we?"

"A Battlefield." he replied.

"For what?" Before I could say any more a Wire Frame dropped down in front of me. This wasn't the same type of Wireframe which was still bound upstairs (well, we weren't to sure what to do with it…), this one had a female stature instead. I stood, staring at the solitary Wireframe as she approached me. Even though she had no face to smirk with, I could still feel an almost arrogant presence abound her. With the wave of her hand five more (both male and female) dropped beside her (from where I do not know, yet things never seem to make sense). Neither side moved for a moment, until Marth walked forward and stood beside me. "I suppose we are to fight you?" he asked quietly. The leading frame nodded and replied in response,

"Yes, this is a little something the administration calls Cruel Melee. We'll start whenever you're ready." I grinned a bit; this was my kind of battle!

"Well, we're ready then!" I stated confidently, crossing my arms. The leading frame nodded and waved her hand once more creating numbers of sparks above our heads.

"This is a stamina battle." she stated. I gave a confused glance at Marth, who quickly said,

"It means endurance."

"You mean we just fight until we can't?" I asked turning back to the frame.

"In a way… those numbers above your head are your stamina; it decreases with each hit you take." I glanced up at the number, it was a two hundred.

"And if the number reaches zero?" Marth questioned.

"The said person are paralyzed and at our mercy. Now, we will officially begin. The half dragon may make the first move." After taking a moment to think I jumped forward with the Sword of Seals outstretched before me and let out a stream of flames at our opponents. All five were able to dodge it, two who were in the back of the group jumped up above my head toward Marth. Before I could make a move to stop them the foremost female frame kicked me from behind almost knocking me onto the ground. I gave a soft growl as the number dropped to one hundred ninety eight and turned with my sword with a violent slash at her head. She dodged this and attempted another kick which promptly failed because I grabbed onto her leg and pushed backwards, causing her to let out a surprised yelp. Gripping my sword and jumped onto her and attempted a stab when I felt something hit my back knocking me upward into the air. I surprisingly went through the platform above me and landed on top of it.

"What the hell?" I peeked from the platform down below to see another female frame standing triumphantly with a giant hammer.

"I forgot to mention!" The frame I attacked called up as she rose back to her feet. "Items drop from the sky. Both your side and ours are free to use them!"

"Thanks, how generous." I replied sarcastically as the frame with the hammer jumped into the air, and tried to swipe at me from underneath. I rolled to the side, and let out a surprised gasp as a Male Frame jumped up onto the platform with a baseball bat and struck me brutally over the head with it. I saw several stars before my eyes but I could make out the numbers above my head still, one hundred eighty two. While shaking my head to clear my thoughts I scrambled to my feet and jumped onto the highest platform and then jumped down, sword out, and struck it right in the middle of the head creating a burst of flames. It took the attack lightly and was forced back a bit in recoil. "That should have killed you!"

"You can't kill us like that." he replied matter-o-factly. "You have to toss us off the edge."

"That's not fair! I wasn't told that before!"

"You never asked." The other Female Frame leaped onto the platform and threw a turtle shell at me. I jumped up, allowing it to soar under me and strike the Male frame. I came back down onto the ground and hastily jumped again as the turtle shell turned back around at me. The Female Frame jumped as well, and kicked me on the side of the face in midair sending me off the platform and crashing onto the lowest level.

"Damn it." I muttered to myself as my number dropped to one hundred fifty eight. The Female Frame jumped back down, through the platform onto where I was. I sat up and grabbed her waist, and rolled backward and tossed her over the edge. She returned with ease, and I swung my sword trying to push her back. Another frame came behind and attempted to hit, which I quickly ducked causing him to strike the female in the face. I kicked him in the stomach, and felt a blow to the back as the female behind me let out another kick. Deciding to retreat I jumped up onto the platform to escape the trap, and noticed a little black ball standing there watching me. I blinked. It was a cute little thing… with its shoes and fuse… "Fuse!" Suddenly it dawned on me this was a bomb! I picked it up carefully and it smiled at me as the fuse began to burn. Fearfully I threw it off the platform onto the two frames below and it exploded sending the female off the edge and into oblivion. The male was thrown the other way, to where I noticed Marth was already fighting off two Frames. I got to my feet to go over and suddenly felt my ankle pulled out from under me. I turned to see the leading female frame standing there.

"You managed to get one frame out. Well done, however there are still four more." Ignored her remark and swung the Sword of Seals at her head which she dodged and rocketed herself forward into my stomach. I flew into the air from the impact and roughly landed on the opposite platform (not too happy mind you). One of the frames Marth was fighting noticed me and flipped into the air with an upward kick. I narrowly dodged and looked beside me to see a paper fan before me. Quickly accepting the fact this was an item (though a quite strange one) I jumped down from the platform and struck a nearby frame with it. I noticed Marth had given me an incredulous look which I ignored and repeatedly struck the Frame. He turned, and until he did I hadn't noticed what he was holding.

"A ray gun." said the Frame with a deep voice and shot at me. A green beam hit me, bringing down my health. One hundred thirty, one hundred twenty, one hundred ten… I pulled myself back into a stance with one leg back and I leaned back on it and placed the Sword of Seals out in front of me. The ray hit me, but instead of getting hurt the sword flashed and let out a blast of fire at the Frame. He was knocked backward of the edge and attempted to jump up. Marth (who was standing there, pulled his sword over his shoulder with both hands (he had taken his arm out of the sling, though it was working fine I could see him wince with pain). The Frame jumped up and Marth brought his sword crashing on its head forcing it back down. I saw a flash of light as the Frame let out a frightened scream of apprehension and disappeared. Marth quietly placed his arm back in the sling with a whimper of pain and looked at me.

"Shield Breaker." he explained. "You should try it." I nodded, and vowed to practice that after the battle. Imagine what I could do with that move! I noticed a little green disc lying on the ground. I picked it up, and examined it, and threw it at a nearby frame holding a flower. He ducked and it flew over his head and landing on the other side of the battlefield. The Frame looked behind him and the circular disk which was now beeping and giving a little shrug and pointed the flower at me. Unexpectedly stream of blazing fire exploded from the small blossom. I let out a surprised yelp my number decreased even more (to ninety if you're curious). I countered again, sending the frame back slightly. It did very little harm but he did drop the hell flower. He scrambled to his feet looked around frantically and finally found a red turtle shell and flung it at me. I jumped up onto the platform above me to avoid the shell and continued onto the top one.

"Running huh?" cried the Frame as he followed me up. I nodded. My number was already down, I hated to admit it but I just wanted to get out of there. He came up from under and kicked, dealing me some more damage and gracefully landed before me. I thrust my sword forward at him, only to have him catch it and pull me toward him. He landed a kick in my stomach almost knocking the breath out of me. Determined to push him backward, I hard-pressed the hilt the sword until the blade pierced his stomach. The frame stopped for a moment and looked at the sword with fake shock. "That won't kill me." He said smoothly.

"I know." I replied softly as I regained my breath. I swung the sword (with the frame still on it) and tossed it to a lower platform (not the one I had come up from) and jumped down onto the platform and pulled out my sword. He laughed gently as he jumped to his feet as if absolutely nothing had happened. Gripping the sword I slashed at him vertically throwing him back quite a bit onto the lower level though he still seemed unharmed.

"No effect!" I smirked slightly.

"But look what you're on." He face fell as he glanced downward. There was the green disk…. beeping… beeping… faster and faster until…

BOOM!

The Frame had no chance of recovery as he was propelled out the arena. I carefully climbed down to where the circular disk had been. I had not truly known what power it Grinning broadly I began to say "Only two left!" but, my sentence was cut short to "Only-" as I felt a cold feeling envelop me. I gave a sadistic glare to the frame that as attacked me… or I would have but I was immobile. It didn't take to long to realize I was encased in solid ice. With a muffled whimper of fear I kept my eyes on Marth who had turned to see my predicament.

"What'd you do?" he asked the remaining two Female Frames with a hushed tone. The Frames stood in front of me, my face to their back.

"I used a Freezie." said one. "He'll be frozen like that for a while so I suppose we're left with you Hun." I could see Marths' expression, it was a sour grimace.

"All the more fun." The Chief Female Frame elated with a Cheshire grin (or would if she had face). Marth did not answer but he advanced on them and harshly struck one of the across the chest with the dirtiest glare I had. The attack was useless for she effortlessly grasped him and tossed him back. Luckily for him he landed on his feet and attacked once more. This time he viciously slashed once, whilst his body glowed a red color, he turned and hacked again turning green this time, another with a blue color and one final raging blow with red yet again. The frame he had attacked took the hits hard and smacked into the ice. The other Female attacked ferociously, but Marth dodged and struck her as he came behind her and kicked her toward the edge. When she did not go over so he jumped up into the air and smacked her off with Falchion. She returned quickly but as she made her recovery I could faintly hear the electrifying charge of Shield Breaker as it hit her, and then final whack causing the Frame to be rapidly fall. She made a desperate jump, trying to get back up to the edge and almost got there but it was to no avail. Now, there was one last Frame left, the leading one who had explained the rules and constantly mocked me through out the battle. I finally noticed the number floating aimlessly over Marths' head when he glanced over the edge to see if the Frame had really gone; it was a twenty. If this last frame decides to attack him… Marth had barely turned when the last Frame threw something at him. I held my breath; it had been the cute, tiny bomb from earlier. His eyes widened as it collided with him and a huge cloud of smoke cover the arena; I couldn't see a damned thing. Rapidly it cleared and there was Marth, sprawled out on the ground, his chest heaving up and down with every breath. At last the preventive ice disappeared and I began to walk forward toward the swordsman.

"Well, well. I was hoping to vs. you last." said the Frame with a ravishing gesture as I passed her and keeled adjacent to Marth.

"Will he be okay?"

"Not if you lose and I toss both of you off the edge. If, by some miracle, you happened to win you can lift the paralysis with a potion." I stood up to face her.

"You know a lot for a henchman."

"We are not stupid. We are intelligent, we do have emotions. I am not just a scapegoat. When I when this fight I am leaving, and living my own life. I was hoping to do it with the others, but seeing how you and your friend there destroyed them I will go alone." I fought off guilt, and glared at her.

"They would not let you do that…"

"I will." She attacked me first this time, almost to parallel my first attack before. I evaded it and stole a glance at my stats. Forty, damn. I rushed forward, and hit her only to have the attack returned. I slide under her legs and back kicked her, but she grabbed my legs and tossed me over her head. I slammed onto the ground, hard. Scurrying to my feet I jumped forward and stabbed her in the stomach, and received a kick back in repent. Thirty. I shoved my sword deeper and deeper and I got kick after kick. Twenty five, twenty…I pulled my sword out and stumbled backward holding my own stomach (where I had been kicked). She grinned and began to reach for another bomb, which was walking around on the platform above her. In panic I put my sword above my shoulder and closed my eyes as the Frame tossed the bomb. My eyes tightened as I felt it coming toward, me, faster… and faster. Then I struck, just as Marth had done before I performed the Shield Breaker, but with the Sword of Seals flaming abilities it exploded the bomb mid air. The Frame shrieked as it detonated,

"DAMNIT!" She flew of the edge with a stream of smoke until she collided with the boundaries of this limited arena and disappeared in a flash. Once I felt my knees buckle as I collapsed on the ground into a position similar to Marths', but it scarcely mattered… I had won! The scene began to change from the battle arena to room, and, I could vaguely see at the far edge of it there was a lever, which I supposed will turn off the shield. Slowly I tried to get up from the floor, but I couldn't. Surprised I tried once, more but to no gain. My body felt numb… I couldn't move an inch. I glanced up to see the zero floating above my head before it disappeared. It turns out the bomb had affected me as well… I had the urge to cry, both Marth and I were paralyzed, we were trapped in a room no one knew about, and no one was around to help us. I could be here forever! It would be a living nightmare, here I would be here, lying helplessly, until I either starved or dehydrated! I wanted to scream, but even my throat was paralyzed, I could not even have that. Tears fell down my face, I was dead scared, for I knew I would die here, and I could not do a thing about it. During my absolute terror I heard the door of the basement opening from the room, and I could hear footsteps behind the door of which I was trapped behind.

"Giga 1 12." said a voice calmly as the door opened. I saw a pair of brown, leather boots walking in (I was on the ground; it was all I could see). Despite the calm stride of the voice, there was another, smaller pair of brown boots darting about it.

"Are you sure the Frame said here?"

"Yes." replied the original voice with an irritated tone. The bigger boots stopped as the speaker walked between Marth and I. "Here they are."

"Are they dead?" asked the other voice with apprehension; I had now identified it as a child's.

"No, of course not!" replied the first voice in a comforting tone, though it didn't seem to sure itself. The boots walked before me and I felt hands grab me and flip me over to face the speaker. Link looked down at me, with Young Link grabbing onto his tunic.

"Well?" asked Young Link impatiently as if he was keeping the answer of my life a secret.

"He is breathing…" He left and approached Marth. "…as is he." Young Link let out a resounding sigh of relief.

"Now what?" he asked excitedly as if this was a game. Link walked up to the switch and put his hand on it.

"Deactivate this damned thing, and get them upstairs." he muttered as he pulled down the lever. Young Link squealed happily and approached me and turned my face to him. I blinked, for it was the only thing I could do.

"Thank you Mr. Roy!" he said happily, as if he understood I could hear him. "We'll bring you upstairs and you'll be just fine!" His blue eyes sparkled in gratitude as he ran beside his older self and darted around him as Link walked to me, grabbed me and slumped me over his shoulder and reached for Marth, doing the same on the other shoulder, and began up the stairs.

A/N: Omg… I hate battle scenes /hides in shame while twiddling thumbs/ they're so hard to write, but I tried. However it's done! XD One chapter to go! Yep, the password had nothing to do with what was behind there, I actually wasn't thinking of Giga Bowser (that wouldn't really make sense, Bowser was hardly in the story), but I was thinking for the password was 'Giga' was a computerized term, and since I felt the Frames were kind of computerized I decided, that would be the password (and one twelve sounded good…). So next chapter's the epilogue, and I will explain how Young Link got back, and such. Till the next chappie!
