The swords clashed together. Sparks flew from the blades. The sound of grinding metal filled the air as the blades slid across each other. The wielders of the swords glared into each other's eyes. One was an extremely tall man with dark tan skin and fiery red hair, dressed in black and gold armor. As he pressed his enormous sword forward, he grinned evilly as his opponent was pushed backwards slightly.

The person on the other end of the sword gritted his teeth as he felt his feet slide across the stone beneath him. Planting his brown boot firmly into the ground he pushed backwards, the blade of his sword glowing slightly. The wind began to pick up, causing his green cap and sandy blond hair to blow around his face.

They were on the top of a large temple, referred to throughout the ages as the Temple of Time. The skies were dark as black clouds blocked out the sun. Lightning crashed in the sky, causing everything to be lit in a purple light. As the two battled on top of the towering temple the storm raged around them.

The one dressed in green narrowed his eyes as he felt himself being pushed back again. His boot's slid backwards as his enemy bared down upon him. The red haired man grinned through pointed teeth, his eyes wide in bloodlust.

"You're outta your league, hero," he chuckled. The hero in question just narrowed his eyes and pushed back upon his enemy's sword. The blades shook as the opposing forces pressed against each other.

"Yaaaaaaaa!" The hero swung his sword up, deflecting the man's sword. Quickly bringing his blade around he slashed at his enemy's side. His eyes widened when the red haired man grabbed the blade bare handed with his free hand.

"Not this time kid!" he laughed. Blood seeping through his fingers he spun around, still firmly grasping the blade. The hero was picked up as his weapon was pulled forward. The man tossed the hero to the side. He slid across the top of the temple, coming to a stop just before he fell of the side. It started to rain, heavy water drops came crashing down around them.

The lighting crashed around as the red haired man approached the fallen hero. He laughed as he lifted his large sword and rested it on his shoulder.

"Down already?" He laughed, "Come on…get up…It's hard to cut you in half when you're lying down," The hero groaned as he tried to stand, but his hand slipped on the wet stone and he fell back down. The man narrowed his eyes, frowning.

"Hmm…that's it huh?" He raised his sword and spun it around until the blade was pointing downward, the tip hovering above the hero.

"What a dissapointment...Of all of your kind I've faced…you are without doubt the weakest," He stated. His eyes widened when blood erupted from his shoulder.

"Hmmm?" He hummed as lowered his sword, looking at his shoulder. A glowing arrow was protruding from his flesh.

"Link!" A voice called, "Get up!" The red haired man narrowed his eyes and turned around. He frowned when he saw a panting dark brown haired young woman, blood was seeping from her arm but she still held her glowing golden bow steady.

"Feh…that bitch is still alive huh?" The man muttered. He suddenly thrust his blade downward, planting it into the temples stone. His hand now free he grabbed the arrow protruding from his shoulder. A tearing sound filled the air as he ripped it from his flesh. Grinned manically he looked toward the young woman.

"Does this belong to you…Princess Zelda…?" He clenched his fist, snapping the arrow in half. Zelda narrowed her eyes at him.

"I won't forgive you for what you've done, Gannon" She said, her voice strong. Gannon smirked.

"Tough words for someone oozing blood," He said. "Well…since you're the only one currently standing, I think I'll kill you first, since that shoddy hero wannabe is about passed out," He raised his sword and pointed it at her. He grinned, his eyes filled with bloodlust.

"….Whose about passed out?" Gannon's eyes widened at the voice behind him. He quickly ducked forward, a millisecond later a gleaming blade whizzed through the air where his head had been a moment earlier. Before Gannon could recover a knee slammed into his stomach.

"Gya!" Blood flew from his mouth as he was thrown backwards. Planting his sword into the top of the temple he slid to a halt. Raising his head he glared at the hero in front of him.

The one the woman had called Link stood before him. He was hunched over slightly, his breathing labored. He was using his sword for support, glaring at Gannon through his soaked hair. Recovering from the blow the hero had dealt him Gannon grinned.

"Not passed out? More like dead on your feet," He laughed, "Look at yourself. You can barely sta-" His eyes widened he saw the blade heading for his face. Tearing his sword out of the Temple he swung his blade up, deflecting the attack. Link gritted his teeth and spun around rapidly, swinging his sword. Gannon scowled and jumped back to avoid the attack.

How can he still move so quickly!

"Raaaahhh" Gannon stepped forward, swinging his sword over his head, "Just die!" His blade came crashing down. Link raised his shield and the giant sword crashed into it. Link cried out in pain as his arm was nearly broken. He fell to one knee as he tried to keep the sword back. Gannon grinned crazily down at him.

"Not this time! I won't lose to you like those before you! You're nothing compared to them! You are weak! That's why I'll kill you. That is why the Princess will die. And that is why I'll take Hyrule for myself!" Link gritted his teeth in fury. His eyes narrowed as he pushed back on his enemy's sword.

"Like. Hell. You…" He pushed upward, "WILL!" Using all of his strength he threw Gannon's sword off course. Gannon's eyes widened as Link lunged forward, his sword glowing.

Blood flew into air. Gannon's eyes were wide in disbelief. Slowly, his sword fell from his grasp. The clattering sound of metal on stone filled the air. Blood joined the rain as the liquid fell to the top of the temple. Links sword protruded from his back, the rain quickly cleansed the metal of any dark blood.

Link gritted his teeth. Slowly he fell backwards, falling to his knees. His breath was heavy as blood cointnued to seep from the wounds he had acquired. His sword was still buried in Gannon's chest. The rain continued to fall heavily around them.

Gannon gritted his teeth and slowly tilted his shaking head back. He stared up into the dark sky.

"…Damn…can't believe…I was beaten by one of these shits….again…" His eyes started to lose focus. Slowly he fell to the side. A pool of red started to form around him.

Link's head hung downward, his shoulders sagged. He faintly heard some splashing beside him.

"Link…" a soft voice said. The hero struggled to lift his head. Seeing his friend he grinned through his pain.

"Hey Zelda…Good to see you didn't die…" he said. Zelda smiled softly.

"I could say the same to you," she said. Her eyes widened when Link fell forward, "Link!" She relaxed when she saw him breathing.

"You work too hard…" She said softly as she raised her hand. A soft glow surrounded it. She lay it upon his chest, smiling softly when his breathing eased. Slowly, she looked up and stared at the unmoving body of Hyrule's enemy. After a moment she closed her eyes, listening to the rain fall around her.

"…It's over…" She breathed, "It's finally over…." The rain continued to fall around them, the only thing that could be heard was the splashing of the water on the temple stone.

In a dark room a man sat in a single chair, his leg resting atop the other and his head laying in the palm his hand. He watched a large monitor in front of him. A smirk crossed his face as he watched a young man in green slay his enemy.

"Yes…" he said, his cool voice filling the air, "He will do nicely," Next to him, a woman stood. Her hair was pure white and bandages were wrapped around the top of her face, covering her eyes.

"So you agree, Master?"

"I do Star…I did have my doubts…but after watching this…he is a good fit," He raised his head and paused the picture on the screen, displaying the hero in green.

"Is he the last one?" Star asked. A smirk crossed the man's face.

"Yes…he will be the one to fill the last vacant spot,"

"So we may begin?" The smirk never left the man's face as he lifted his right hand, covered in a white glove. He flexed his hand, blue sparks flying from the tips of his fingers.

"Almost," The said, "Very soon,"

Authors Note: I wanted to do a more serious take on Super Smash Brothers. So here it is, most people should be in, but I may throw out the more ridiculous characters that I can't make more serious. Eh…

Just a note, this isn't a Link/Zelda. I do like the pairing but if I wanted to write them I would have kept it as a LoZ fic.

Can ya figure out who the guy at the end is? Yes, he is a real character. It shouldn't be too hard. Just think about it.
