A large beam of blue light shot through the air, slamming into one of the monsters. The creature cried out in pain as it thrown into one of the stone columns. The stone broke and crashed down around the creature. Startled, the other monster turned to look where the attack had come from. A short distance away, Link gaped at Samus.

"Why the hell did you do that! Now they're all looking at us!" He exclaimed. The bounty hunter glanced at him.

"Gotta start somewhere," She said calmly.

"Are you freakin insane!" Before he could say anything else he was cut off by the roar of the monsters. Link's eyes widened as they all rushed at the two. Watching the creatures Samus pumped her arm cannon.

"If you're not going to do anything then go and hide somewhere. I don't have time to look out for you," With that she dashed forward, Link staring after her.

As she neared the creatures she leaped high into the air. Spinning around until she was upside down she pointed her cannon toward the ground. The monsters roared as a volley of energy blasts rained down around them. Lading behind a group of three monsters she raised her arm, her cannon charging. Before the creatures could turn around she released a charged shot, vaporizing her enemies.

Above her, a monster with wings flew down at her screeching. The bounty hunter raised her arm and shot at the creature. The monster spun to the side dodging the attacks. Samus quickly rolled to the side as the creature swiped at her. Landing on her feet she quickly fired more energy blasts at it. One of the blue beams hit the monsters wings. Screeching in pain it started to fall towards the ground. Samus aimed a charged shot and fired, blasting the creature into pieces.

Behind her visor, her eyes narrowed when a shadow fell over her. She looked over her shoulder as an enormous monster raised its clawed hand. Calmly, she raised her arm cannon pointing it at the creature. A missile exploded from the weapon, burrowing itself in the monsters chest before exploding, sending the flaming corpse flying backwards.

Almost instantly, another monster took its place. The creature towered over Samus, smoke blowing from its nostrils. Roaring, it raised a clenched fist. Not having any time to charge a shot Samus raised her arms as the creature fist shot forward. The fist collided with Samus's crossed arms. The ground beneath the bounty hunter cracked as the force sent a shockwave through the ground. Samus gritted her teeth as she struggled to hold off the attack.

Damn! They're stronger than I thought!

The sound of metal on metal made Samus glance to her left. A short distance away, Link slowly backed away from a tall clawed monster. His shield raised, as the creature claws continually slashed at it. Link tried to fend off the constant attacks but could find no way to counter. Roaring, the clawed monster raised on arm high. Links eyes widened when the creature sent it crashing down. The claws slammed into the raised shield. The attack sent Link to his knees. The hero gritted his teeth as he struggle to prevent being crushed.

On the other side of the battlefield Samus's arm shook as she held back the creature's fist. Narrowing her eyes she gripped the hand with her left hand. Using all her strength she pushed the fist off to her side, sending the monster crashing to the ground as it was thrown off balance.

Not wasting any time she spun to where the Hero of Hyrule was still fighting. He had manage to put some distance between the clawed beast and himself.

Well at least he's not dead.

Samus was about to return to her own fight when she saw it. Her eyes widened and she called out.

"Kid! Look out!" Link saw it too late. One of the winged monsters was head straight down toward him. Eyes wide, the hero tried to raise his shield but was unable to brace himself as the monster crashed down on top of him.

The ground shattered under the impact. Dust and dirt were thrown into the air, creating a smog that surrounded the newly formed crater in the ground. From inside the smoke, the winged monsters bloodthirsty roar could be heard.

"Kid!" Samus shouted. There was no answer. The only sound was the dull roar that come from the breaking ground. Samus stared wide eyed.

Shit! No fucking way…

"What the hell…?"

That…That really killed him!

The bounty hunter gritted her teeth.

"What…What the hell kind of tournament is this…?" She hissed. Her eyes widened when she felt something behind her. She spun around but was unable to block as the monster she had knocked down sent her flying to the side.

"Gyaa!" She cried out. Gritting her teeth she spun around and landed on her feet. The monster was already in front of her. She crossed her arms as the creature attacked again. Its arm came crashing down on top of her. The bounty hunter was sent to her knees. Above her the monster roared.

Damn! I…Can't hold him back!

Samus gritted her teeth as her arms started to shake. Slowly, the monsters fist pushed towards the bounty hunter.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

Samus's arms had almost given out when an earsplitting shriek filled the air. Suddenly, something slammed into the side of the monster, sending it flying to the side. Eyes wide, Samus struggled to regain her balance. Staring in shock she turned her head to see what had happened.

"…What?" She whispered. The corpse of the winged monster that had attacked Link lay next to the monster that had almost killed her. There were several large gashes in its body as blood poured from its wounds.

"Damn it, that hurt," A familiar voice said. Samus slowly turned her head to look over her shoulder. A silhouette appeared inside the smoke surrounding the crater. A soft wind blew through the area, blowing away the smog. A flash of green could be seen though the haze. Finally, the smoke disappeared, revealing Link standing with his sword resting on his shoulder. A small trail of blood ran down his face and his arm. His shield was gripped firmly in his right hand. Samus stared in shock.

"…You…" She said. The Hero smirked at her.

"Told you I could take of myself," He said, walking up to her. Samus was about to respond when the a roaring cut her off. The surrounding area was still filled with monsters. Seeing them Samus raised her arm cannon. Her eyes widened when Link forced it back down.

"You've had your fun," He told her, "Now it's my turn. These things are really starting to piss me off," He walked forward, facing a new group of monsters. Seeing the hero they roared at him. Link didn't flinch at the sound.

"It's been a while since I've had to do this," Link said to himself. After a moment he smirked, "I kinda missed it,"

The three monsters were already rushing towards him. Link simply raised his sword. As the creatures neared him he slipped into a battle stance. His eyes narrowed as they approached him. Roaring, they all jumped towards him. Eye's blazing, Link swung his sword.

The metal tore though all three monsters. The force of the attack sent their slashed bodies flying backwards. Blood splattered the ground as they bodies fell apart.

The ground shook as a winged monster landed behind Link. Screeching it swung down a clawed hand. It's eyes widened when it hit only the ground.

"What are you aiming at?" A blade was plunged into the top of the monsters head. The monster screeched in pain as it fell forward. Link jumped off the creature, facing a new group of enemies. The hero smirked.

"Now I'm starting to enjoy this," He said.

Samus watched, her eyes wide.

That's incredible…

Who is this guy!

She was shook out of her thoughts when one of the monsters veered off from the main group and headed for Samus, seeing her seeming defenseless. Noticing it the bounty hunter narrowed her eyes.

"Che, who do you think you're dealing with?" she said as she raised her arm cannon. An enormous burst of blue energy exploded from her weapon, blowing the creatures head off. As the smoking corpse fell the ground Samus noticed more coming in from all sides.

"Geez…these things don't give up," She said, pumping her arm cannon.
