Ultimate Smash Adventure
Okay, I'm having to desperately squeeze in time to write up these chapters between soccer, school, and other stuff I have no choice but to do (Not that I hate it particularly but, you get the idea.) But here is the last chapter to the dark clone saga. AND THEN THE LAST ARC OF THE STORY WILL BE NEXT! (Pulls out the chips, dip, and dance music.)
Disclaimer: I do not own anything in this chapter except for the story itself.

Swords of Truth
"Alright, so my original is here… but don't think I'm going to spare your dad though." D. Roy sneered at Roy.
"Don't you dare touch him!" Roy said putting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
"I don't think you two are in any position to be giving us orders." D. Marth said.
"Grrrr…" Marth growled. Eliwood simply stayed silent while lying down, putting his weight on his elbows. There was a tense moment where everyone just kept shifting their eyes back and forth at each other. Finally, D. Roy lifted his sword up above him and prepared to bring it down on Eliwood.
"Goodbye!" D. Roy shouted.
"No!" Roy unsheathed his sword quickly. Simply pulling the sword out sent out a fireball at D. Roy. Just before D. Roy brought his sword down on top of Eliwood, the fireball hit D. Roy in the back and sent D. Roy flying through the wall in flames.
"Augh!" D. Roy shouted as he went through the wall.
"You're mine!" Roy shouted as he ran through the hole in the wall after D. Roy. Roy was now in some hallway in the castle. Although all he saw was a crack in the opposite wall and D. Roy was nowhere to be seen. "Where did he go?" Roy asked. He turned down the hallway and… "AUGH!" A black fireball hit him in the face and sent him flying backward.
"You're dead for that last attack!" D. Roy shouted running at Roy with his sword over his shoulder, ready to swing.
"I'll be taking you down before you can do anything to stop me!" Roy said standing back up and getting his sword ready. The two swung their swords at each other and the blades clashed with a huge CLANG! The clash sent out waves of flames from each sword. The two withstood the flames and kept on sword fighting. The two kept swinging horizontally, vertically, and always clashing their swords with a loud clang and flames leaping from both swords. This went on for countless minutes back and forth at high speeds, occasionally landing a cut on each other. Finally D. Roy did a back flip, and immediately leaped back at Roy with a jump slash, charging up his sword.
"Dark Flare!" D. Roy shouted. Roy raised his sword to block, however when D. Roy's sword met, there was a large explosion that sent Roy flying backward and torching him in the process.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!" Roy shouted as he went flying down the hallway and out a large window in to the gardens below. Roy slashed at the air a few times to send fireballs out at D. Roy before falling down in to the gardens. D. Roy simply slashed his sword and sent dark fireballs that made Roy's disappear and when they went through the broken window, they started to fall toward the ground and on top of Roy. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUGGGHHH!"
A few minutes ago…
"You're mine!" Roy shouted as he ran through the hole in the wall after D. Roy.
"Alright Roy…" Marth said to no one in particular. "I'll handle this fake." Marth said more seriously turning toward D. Marth. Eliwood decided it was best to let Marth handle this on his own and he slipped out of the throne room.
"Ha! I've got far more power than you ever will! This won't take any time at all." D. Marth said. The two stared at each other taking their stances. The two then charged at each other at high speeds began their sword fight. The two swung their swords at each other at such high speeds that the sword swings were hardly visible. Marth jumped over one slash and tried to counter with a jump slash, but D. Marth blocked the strike, quickly pulled his sword back and then thrust forward. Marth side-stepped but received a cut on the side.
"Augh…" Marth gasped, Marth did a horizontal slash at D. Marth's head. D. Marth backed away but received a cut across the cheek. "Now…" Marth said to himself. Marth launched in to a combo that struck D. Marth multiple times with the tip of his sword. "Sword Dance!" Marth then performed a series of rhythmic spins and slashes that ended with one powerful swing.
"Aaaaaauuuugghh!" D. Marth shouted as he was launched upward from the last slash and then landing on the hard stone floor, bleeding from the cuts.
"Alright!" Marth said smiling. "But… that was a bit too easy." Marth thought as his expression changed from a smile to a frown of wonder. Marth shrugged and turned around. "I need to fi- augh!" Marth yelled as he fell to the ground with the feeling of a large sword cutting him in the back. Marth turned around and quickly got back up.
"Heh… you can't do that can you?" D. Marth asked with a cocky smile, standing there in front of Marth. He swung his sword and it sent out a wave of dark energy shaped like a cut flying at Marth. The wave hit Marth, and even though it didn't really cut him, it sure as heck felt like it.
"Augh!" Marth shouted as he was sent flying through the wall. Leaving a humongous hole in the wall. But D. Marth wasn't finished there.
"Time to go down!" D. Marth ran at Marth while Marth was still going through the air. He then proceeded to slash him rapidly before finally doing a heel drop that slammed him on the ground violently.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!"
Elsewhere…
Pit was just flying in place staring hard at his dark counterpart. "Ha ha ha ha! Just look, here I am the evil clone of the head of Palutena's guards. So much better than the original." D. Pit gloated.
"You have no right to say that! You commit such terrible deeds such as destroying this sacred realm and you call yourself better than me?" Pit asked. "I'll make you pay for your evil deeds!" Pit said pulling out a wooden hammer.
"You call that a weapon?" D. Pit asked. He then pulled out a spiked mace that was a noticeably larger than Pit's hammer. "THIS is a weapon!"
"Erp…" Pit said while staring at that. Pit then shook his head and stomached it. "Yiiiiiiaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Pit flew forward at D. Pit as fast as he could with his hammer ready to swing. Pit took a swing that D. Pit easily dodged and countered with a side-swing to Pit's head that sent Pit flying through the air in to a pillar sitting on a cloud. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" He shouted as he went flying through the air and in to the pillar. "Oooooohhhh…"
"Ha ha ha ha! Diiiiiiiiiiieeeee!" D. Pit went flying after Pit. Pit shook off the pounding headache and quickly flew out of the way of the swing just in time to notice it crush the pillar behind him.
"What strength!" Pit thought. Pit turned his thoughts back to the fight and took a swing with his hammer and hit D. Pit behind the head.
"Is that all?" D. Pit asked. He then turned around and backhanded Pit across the head to stun him and then he slammed him over the head with his spiked mace, sending him plummeting downward.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Pit shouted as he went flying downward. Pit hit a cloud, but thankfully that didn't hurt due to the fluffiness, but that raises the question of how the heck you can stand on clouds anyways? Well regardless, Pit looked up holding his pounding head and noticed D. Pit charging at him. Pit quickly pulled out his bow and aimed it at D. Pit. He pulled the string of light back and fired an arrow of light at D. Pit.
"What?" D. Pit was caught off guard by this and got hit in the face. "Augh!" D. Pit shouted as he started to spiral through the air.
"Now's my chance." Pit said. He pulled his bow again, but the arrow gave off a brighter glow than the others did. "Rain of light!" Pit fired the light arrow, and it split in to several arrows that homed in on D. Pit and exploded. "Yes!"
D. Pit was drifting downward now… but then he all of a sudden pulled out a dark colored bow and fired an arrow made of dark energy at Pit. "Take this!"
"Ah!" The arrow exploded in black flame when it hit Pit and sent him flying backward in smoke.
Back to the castle…
Roy was severely burnt and bruised, but thankfully, he still has his dragon genes. Roy stood back up and got his sword ready. He looked up and D. Roy slowly walked toward the broken window slowly. "Ha! Seems like you're still alive. Fine… time to finish you then." D. Roy leaped out of the window and high in to the air. Roy stuck his sword in to the ground and caused an explosion around him that raised a smoke screen. D. Roy landed only to find a bunch of burnt grass and smoke. "What!"
"Hiyah!" Roy appeared from behind and made a fiery slash that sent D. Roy flying back in flames. "Hiyah yah yah yah!" Roy sent several fireballs at D. Roy, all of them made contact with him as he was flying backward. "Ha! Take that!"
"You'll pay for that one you weakling." Roy stood back up and drew his sword again and charged forward out of anger. Roy spun his sword around and around and finally swung his sword to send a large fireball at D. Roy. "AAAAAAAUUUUUGGGHHH!" D. Roy didn't react fast enough to avoid this fireball and got hit head on. When the fireball disappeared, Roy immediately appeared to make a horizontal swing at D. Roy. D. Roy unfortunately regained his senses and blocked Roy's first swing.
"Man… I thought that'd work." Roy said. The two then engaged in a fast pace sword fight of swinging, blocking, and dodging. The two locked swords and began to push back and forth against each other. D. Roy was slowly winning and pushing Roy backward. The two finally broke the lock and leaped away from each other. The two caught their breath and then prepped to jump at each other. The two leaped at each other and charged up their swords. "Flare Sword!"
"Dark Flare!" The two swords met and caused a gigantic explosion that sent them both flying backward in flames. Both of them slowly stood back up, looked at each other for a moment… and then Roy collapsed. "Heh… I guess I win…" D. Roy said as he slowly walked toward Roy.
Meanwhile…
D. Marth was pressing on Marth's chest with his foot, pinning him to the hallway floor. "Come on… is this all you're going to offer me? No challenge whatsoever…" D. Marth said. He got his sword ready to plunge it in to Marth's head.
"I'm not going to die here!" Marth shouted. he felt a surge of strength from his will to live. Acting upon it, he swung his leg around to knock D. Marth off of his other foot, causing him to lose his footing and fall.
"Whoa!" D. Marth yelped in surprise. Marth got back up and picked up his sword just in time to block an attack from D. Marth. "I'll admit, you surprised me there, but it's all over here…" D. Marth growled. The two began yet another high-speed sword fight. The two of them jumped away from each other to catch their breath for a moment before charging at each other again and engaging each other in more intense sword fighting. Marth thrust at D. Marth, who rolled out of the way, got back up quickly, and then dashed past Marth and swinging at his already badly cut side.
"Augh!" Marth gasped in pain. D. Marth tried to finish off Marth, but Marth found the strength to kick D. Marth's stomach followed by a slash that cut across D. Marth's forehead.
"Aaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghhhhhh!" D. Marth yelled in pain, grasping his forehead. The two got in to another fighting stance, and then they dashed past each other and took a swing. The scenery froze, like a clichéd samurai showdown as someone beat on a drum. Marth then coughed, before collapsing and bleeding from his stomach. "That's what you get for harming me like this you beep!" D. Marth shouted angrily as he walked toward Marth.
Meanwhile…
D. Pit was feeling pretty smug right about now. "Heh… too easy. But still, better make sure I finished the job." D. Pit said as he flew to the area Pit landed in. To his surprise Pit stood back up. "Augh… too stubborn for your own good." D. Pit said. He pulled his bow and fired another arrow of dark energy.
"… now." Pit moved out of the way of the arrow at the last second and it exploded close to his feet, causing thick somke.
"Augh! I missed!" D. Pit flew closer to the smoke and when he got close enough, a hammer came flying out of the smoke and it conked D. Pit in the head. "Ow!" Suddenly hammers came flying out of the smoke above D. Pit and they were beginning to fall down toward D. Pit. "Whoa!" D. Pit flew back and forth between the hammers. But then an arrow of light flew out of the smoke, hit D. Pit in the chest and…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!
"It takes me a while to charge those, but they're powerful." Pit said coming out of the smoke.
"No more games!" D. Pit shouted. He pulled apart his bow to make twin blades and swung them a few times for intimidation. Pit did the same thing. The two flew at each other and began going double blade to double blade. Every slash they made left a blur of light and darkness and the clashing of blades that sent out similarly colored sparks respectively. The two flew away and back at each other clashing blades every time they flew past each other. The then spun their blades around and flew past each other one last time. D. Pit landed gently on a cloud, while Pit crashed in to another and didn't get back up.
As the three were awaiting their dooms, they began to think back…
Marth, Roy, and Pit were taking a break from training. Marth and Roy sitting at the base of a tree, and Pit sitting on a branch above them. "I'm glad you decided to join Pit… you've been a tremendous help already." Marth said.
"I am just following the will of Palutena." Pit said.
"You know… those fates… Orochimaru, Majora's Mask… they're all very powerful… but I wonder just how much stronger the whole organization is… I mean, several of them are already so strong… and now you tell us about that Kefka guy, the legend behind him tells us that he had powers like a gods…"
"You're not doubting yourself are you Roy?" Master Hand asked, appearing from nowhere.
"Whoa!" Master Hand had startled Pit and caused him to crash down on top of Marth and Roy. CRASH!
"Oooowwwww…" They all moaned. Roy quickly stood back up.
"No, but they are very strong…" Roy said.
"Let me offer you some advice, first ask yourself why you want to be stronger, and once you know the answer, never forget it." Master Hand said.
Back to the castle…
"Goodbye my original!" D. Roy said. He finally stopped walking and started running toward Roy's body. Roy's eyes then popped open and he sprung to his feet and slashed at the air, causing a wave of fire instead of a fireball. "What!" D. Roy got sent flying backward by the attack.
"I won't lose… because I know why I want to be strong… and that is… TO DEFEND ALL THAT I CARE ABOUT!" Roy shouted. He charged up his sword and faced D. Roy. "True Power!…"
Inside the castle…
"I hope you suffered before I kill you…" D. Marth said, ready to deal the final blow. Marth opened his eyes and struggled to stand back up. "Oh good, you aren't ready to give up. Now I can make you suffer a little more."
"Neat trick you showed me a little while ago." Marth said.
"What?"
"Let me show you!" Marth swung his sword and sent out a colorless energy wave.
"Augh!" D. Marth was sent flying against the wall. Then Marth slammed his sword against the ground and the ground shattered beneath D. Marth. "AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" D. Marth screamed. He got back up only to then get kicked across the room below the throne room.
"I want to be strong… to protect my friends!" Marth said. "True Power! Gr…" Marth however was cut off by an explosion in the wall behind D. Marth, and a gigantic dragon shaped stream of fire came surging from it, incinerating D. Marth. "Whoa!" Marth rolled out of the way of the attack just in time. Marth looked at the charred area left by the flames, which was quite large.
"Whoa! My Dragon Slash attack is awesome!" Came Roy's voice.
"Roy?" Marth asked looking through the hole.
"Hey Marth! Guess what… I remembered why I wanted to become stronger, and then I suddenly knew how to do this dragon slash, and it incinerated my evil clone. It was cool! Say what happened to your clone?" Roy asked. Marth just blinked at Roy and continued to stare at him. "What?"
"Let's go… find your dad…" Marth said.
"Oh that's right! I hope he's okay." Roy said.
Meanwhile…
Pit struggled to get back up… but he looked at D. Pit with more determination than ever. "Oh just give up… you can't beat me." D. Pit said turning to Pit.
"Goddess, I no longer have to use this with any risk." Pit said. Pit flew forward at D. Pit faster than before.
"What!" Pit then began slashing rapidly, too rapidly for D. Pit to block all of the slashes. "Augh aaaaaaaaahhhhh! Arrrrrrrrggggghhhhh!" D. Pit was finally sent flying backward. Pit then swung his blades around in a rhythmic fashion.
"True Power! Angel wing!" Pit then made a circular slash that sent a fierce vortex of angel feathers made of light at D. Pit.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHHH!" The attack was now at its peak strength and was devastating D. Pit. Finally, when the attack ended, D. Pit was falling down below, lifeless.
"I did it… goddess… Palutena…" Pit said before landing on a cloud to rest.
