"TOON LINK!"Lucario yelled.
Toon Link did not move.
"Toon Link?"Lucario asked the unmoving form.
Lucario turned his head to his antagonist and growled, showing his long, white fangs. Tears began to stream down his face.
"Why? Why would you do this? What has this child done to you?" Lucario asked.
"What all have you have done to me; stolen my power. I used to be the star of Melee, but that all changed when you other characters came along. And who do you think took my place? The same helpless Pokemon that stands before me. Withall of the newcomers gone, the melee characters will rise again and take over as rightful veterans. The others that were cought up in this were just bonuses," MewTwo said.
"That's why you're doing this?You are crazy! Taking people's lives is not worth this! Look at Toon Link! Do you think that killing children will make you happy?" Lucario asked, hatred gleaming in his eyes.
"If it will bring back my spot on the Smash Brothers rooster, then yes," MewTwo said.
"…You are so sick. I will avenge Toon Link and all the others that fell victim to your scheme. Prepare to die," Lucario growled with hatred in his eyes.
"Very well. Attack me if you wish," MewTwo said.
Lucario didn't need to be told twice.
He rushed at MewTwo and slashed at him, but the Pokemon nimbly avoided his attack.
Lucario growled and rushed him again, and MewTwo jumped out of the way just as before.
"What a lame excuse for a fighter. I can't believe they replaced me with you," MewTwo taunted in disgust.
Lucario's rage began to build, but he stopped himself before blindly attacking as before. He thought for a moment before he used his next attack. He would get no where if he continued his current strategy.
Then he thought about Toon Link.
He had to get Toon Link out of here - fast.
Finally, he had a plan.
Lucario ran up to MewTwo and, knowing he would dodge it, grabbed his wrist before he could move out of the way.
MewTwo was so startled by the change of battle tactic that he couldn't react quickly enough. Lucario slung him to the ground and began to punch him as hard as he could. MewTwo began to slip into unconsciousness.
Suddenly, someone grabbed him by the throat and dragged him off of MewTwo.
Lucario struggled to breathe while his attacker held him in a choke-hold. MewTwo sat up and struggled to get up from the ground. Blood dripped from his mouth, but he simply wiped it away and smiled at Lucario.
"Heh. You can't defeat me. No one can. Did you really think that it would be that easy?" MewTwo taunted.
Lucario shot him a death glare and growled.
"L…Lucario," came a voice.
Lucario opened his eyes enough to see Toon Link lying on the ground with tears in his eyes.
"I'm… sorry I couldn't help you…" Toon Link breathed.
Lucario almost cried at the hurt look that Toon Link was giving him. This wasn't his fault, so why was he apologizing?
Lucario became infuriated and started to struggle even more.
"Why don't you just give up? There's no way that you'll be able to escape R.O.B.'s grasp, even if he got a little damaged from that dumb swordsman pinning him to a tree," MewTwo said crossing his arms.
That must have been what Ike saw, Lucario thought.
"I… won't give up… Toon Link… is counting on me," Lucario said.
Lucario summoned up all of his might to break the hold that R.O.B. held on him. With a burst of power, R.O.B.'s arm shattered and Lucario fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
R.O.B. short-circuited and the red glow in his eyes faded.
After choking for a moment, Lucario regained his composure and ran over to Toon Link. The pool of blood that only covered a few inches before now covered several feet of ground.
"Toon Link! Are you ok?" Lucario asked.
Not giving Toon Link enough time to respond, MewTwo growled and rushed over to Lucario. Putting in all of his strength, MewTwo kicked Lucario's side as hard as he could.
A loud crack was heard.
Lucario rolled a few feet away and was motionless.
Oh no!... again! XD DrAmAtIc!
