A/N: If this was a flash, I would totally make Dark Link sound like Link from Soul Caliber 2 (Yes, I know that the same from Oot, SS64 and SSBM) and Light Link with his voice from Twilight Princess!

Chapter 9: The Battle Inside The Sacred Grove
Smash Kingdom, Hyrule Zone, Hyrule Field
A blue Wolf/Jackal like creature was slowly heading right toward the Sacred Grove, unaware what just transpired there, unaware that Dark Link was still looming around at the Master Sword's resting place.
The strange creature was walking through Hyrule Field. "Hmm…I'm not sure how I got here, but at this point it really doesn't matter anymore…The aura has guided me here, and I have no intention of contravening now." This creature spoke telepathically.
The blue canine was looking around the field and at the strange creatures that lurked about. The reason the monster didn't attack this strange creature, because they thought he was like them. It didn't really bother him, he just continued following his aura…
The blue wolf creature quickly made it to the Sacred Grove, and was now standing at the entrance. The creature then placed his paw up and then started to slowly move it back and forth around the entrance; a blue aura was seen cloaked around it. "Hmm…I'm sensing low life-forces within the dense of this forest." I'm pretty sure you've already figure that this creature is none other than Lucario.
"Hmm…There's one more…But…" Lucario then watched as the visible aura cloaked around his paw turned from blue to red. "This aura is disorientated…" After talking to himself for awhile Lucario decided to finally enter the forest.
As Lucario walked throughout the forest he could began to sense the distorted aura all over, it was beginning to consume him. "Uhh…T-This aura…It's all befuddled and mixed with so much pint in emotion…Uh…It's a bit disturbing."
The aura lead Lucario all the way to the Master Sword's resting place. "Hmm…The aura has disappeared. Is this the place where I suppose to be?" Lucario uttered, while looking around.
The only thing Lucario saw was the Master Sword, it was still protruding out from its pedestal. "What a weird blade…I've never seen anything like this…" Lucario muttered, while examining the blade thoroughly. Lucario then went to reach out toward the blade, when suddenly the aura once again reappeared. "Uhh…This sword has its own living aura? Amazing…" he said, staring at the blue aura cloaked around his paw.
As Lucario looked around the Sacred Grove, he suddenly felt the distorted aura again. "Hmm…There goes that strange aura again." Lucario mumbled, while watching the blue once again turned into red. "It's here, somewhere inside this area…" he then started to carefully look around, without actually turning around or showing any movement. "I must be as caution as possible…"
Lucario then suddenly a voice, that went echoing all throughout the forest. "Hmm…What kind of being are you? I mean, I've never seen anything like you before…You're not from here, are you?"
"Err…He knows that I know about his present…" Lucario then turned, he could see something moving through the trees; it was moving so fast Lucario's eyes couldn't even keep up. "Err…So fast…"
Dark Link was then heard somebody laughing hysterically, it was in that strange high pitch tone. "I hope that a strange beast, such as yourself, can give me a battle worthwhile, because the two previous ones wouldn't even worth my effort…Muhahahaha…"
"The two previous ones? W-What're you…" Lucario then suddenly remembered the two other auras he sensed earlier, every since he entered this forest, he wasn't able to sense their present anymore. "Uhh…It was you? You was the one who eliminated the two auras?"
"Eliminated is such a lenient word, it more like I utterly destroyed them…There was no reason for them to live any longer anyways, they were both obsolete." Dark Link said cold-heartedly, while still laughing hysterically.
"Grrr! How dare you?" Lucario snarled, balding up his fist. "How could you do such a thing…Come out and face me!"
"Muhahahaha…I was waiting for you to say that!" Dark Link then suddenly jumped outta the tree and landed right in front of Lucario, he had this sinister smirk on his face.
Lucario gasped loudly, as he slowly backed away from Dark Link. "Uhh…W-What kinda of being are you? Y-You're not human…" Dark Link was holding onto his ominous version of the Master Sword, but unlike Link, Dark Link didn't have a shield, he didn't believe in defense, only offense.
Dark Link just smirked. "Beasts and Humans, alike. If they live without purpose, then they're meaningless and only destine for demise." Dark Link then started to walk closer to Lucario, while gripping his sword. "Let me ask you, creature. Do you live with purpose? And if so, why? Do you expected things back in return for the things you do?"
"What? Your logic doesn't make any sense?" Lucario said, staring strangely at Lucario.
"It doesn't have to. It was quite logical, if you understood what I was coming from with this." Dark Link then started spinning his sword like a baton. "But that's all out the window now…" he said, chuckling. "You've already told me what I need to know." he then started dashing toward Lucario. "You live without purpose, and thus your fate is to fall to my blade, Yashuyumo, The Neo Master Sword!"
Dark Link then swung his blade down at Lucario "WHAT?!" Lucario said, flipping outta the way. "It was quite logical?! What you just say didn't make an ouch of sense." Lucario then blasted many Aura Spheres at Dark Link. "How would you know if somebody's really living with or without purpose?"
Dark Link easily deflected the balls of aura with his blade and once again lunged at Lucario, while laughing hysterically. "Let me ask you? The persons you destroyed? Did you actually know if they was really living with or without purposes?" Lucario growled, as he dodged Dark Link's attack and then tried punching him.
"I didn't have to know. I did it because it was for MY own purposes." Dark Link cackled, while easily catching Lucario's paw. "If I wouldn't had destroyed those two, I wouldn't be fulfilling my purpose!" Dark Link then tossed Lucario's paw aside, elbowed his in the face, and then slashed him with his blade.
"Uhahhhhhh!!" Lucario grunted, as he went flying backward and landed into the ground. "Uhh…H-He's insane…I've got to stop him and now…He's logical is irrational." Lucario lifted his head and saw Dark Link looming over him. "Uh…What…I didn't even see him."
"…And without purpose, I would be a shadow…" Dark Link then held his blade up high. "And I refuse to be a shadow of a person who lives without purpose…!" he said, with a serious look on his face, while spinning his blade with his fingers.
"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I'm not about to let you hurt anybody else…" Unbeknownst to Dark Link, Lucario had already started gathering his aura into his palm. The aura was beginning to grow and grow.
"Those who live without purpose deserve to die!" Dark Link shouted, as he swung his blade down at Lucario.
"I don't think so! Take this!" Lucario quickly countered by blasting Dark Link with a huge Aura Sphere from up close. Dark Link was consumed inside the huge blue aura and was sent rocketing away from Lucario and into two huge statues. Lucario stood there breathing heavily as he stared at the collapsed statues. "Feel the power of AURA!"
Lucario's ear then suddenly stood up and his two paws was cloaked in a blue aura. "Wait…I'm sensing a low life-force, but it's only one person…" Lucario then started to frantically look around, but he couldn't see or find anybody there. "Where could it be originating from?"
Lucario then went to look around, but he was stopped when heard the noise of laughter coming from all around him. "What? Where is that…No, it must be…"
"Yes! YES! I like it! No! I love it! Show me more!"Lucario then turned and saw Dark Link leaping toward him, spinning his sword, while laughing like a ranted lunatic. His black tunic was all tattered and covered in dust and dirty from the statues. "Make me feel alive! Give my purpose for killing you more of a meaning!!"
Dark Link's tongue was hanging out as he downward stab down toward Lucario, but Lucario flipped out the way. But to his surprise Dark Link was already one step ahead, and he slammed the top of his sword into his jaw, which sent Lucario staggering backward.
But Dark Link still wasn't finish as he slashed, riotously, away on Lucario's whole body; the only thing Lucario could hear was Dark Link's creepy laughter. Dark Link then grabbed Lucario by his chest and kicked him in his stomach, sending him flying. Dark Link quickly ran ahead of him; a huge dust cloud was seen trailing behind. When Lucario came in close to him, Dark Link upward stabbed him in the back, sending the aura Pokemon spiraling up.
Dark Link then stuck his blade out. "It time, creature! It time for me to fulfill my purpose." Lucario then came down toward Dark Link and he immediately started spinning, catching Lucario inside his Spinning Attack.
The force of the attack sent Lucario spinning away and he crashed into a tree. "Errr…H-He's speed has increased tremendously!" he grunted, slowly lifting himself off the ground, while breathing heavily. "But…I'm not worried, as I'm much faster!" Lucario then placed both of his arms over his face, with both his body glowing brightly. "Double Team!"
Lucario used his Double Team to make many clones of himself to confound Dark Link. "What's this?" Dark Link uttered, as he watched Lucario clones began to appear all over the Sacred Grove.
The Lucario and his clones stared at Dark Link, they watched as he frantically looked around. "What's the matter? Having a hard time trying to figure out which one is real?" Lucario said, smirking.
But instead of feeling frustrated, Dark Link just closed his eyes and started laughing insanely. "No. I was just wondering. When I do find you, how much of your blood will be shed during your massacre." he then smacked his lips. "Oh, I'll just have to keep hacking away until I find you then…" Dark Link then lifted his Neo Master Sword up. "I can't wait to see it. Your blood shall spill, ubiquitously!" Dark Link then went off like a blur, slashing and making many of Lucario's clones dissolve away. "Help me find him, Yashuyumo…"
Lucario watched in awe as Dark Link ran through some many of his clones, and just in seconds. "This is inconceivable! H-How can he so fast?" Lucario couldn't even keep up with Dark Link's movement as he continued to run through his clones. "His speed is beyond belief…" Lucario then noticed that Dark Link was beginning to move over toward him. "Oh, no! I've got to stop him…He's getting too close."
Lucario and his clones then placed their hands behind their back and started gathering huge amounts of aura.
Dark Link just got through destroying another one of Lucario's clones when he noticed him and some of his other clones. "What's this…Is he getting ready to launch a huge onslaught on me?" Dark Link could feel something deep stirring around inside. "Insatiable feeling…I yearn for more…" he then looked up at Lucario and started laughing hysterically. "Give me you ALLLLLLLL!" Dark Link shrieked, while jumping up toward Lucario and the other clones.
Dark Link quickly made it to Lucario and his copies and swiftly destroyed many of the clones that was gathering energy. "You've better hurry! I know you're up here somewhere, creature!" he cackled, still destroying many clones.
Lucario grunted, he knew that Dark Link was beginning to inch closer and closer, he had to hurry and launched his final attack before it would be too. "C'mon! C'mon! Just a little more…Yes. Now it's ready."
Lucario then channeled the aura he gathered into his palm, and then placed his arms up high. "This is it…I will finally stop you once and for all!"
Dark Link had destroyed all of the Lucario clones, when he noticed the real Lucario. "MWAH! There you are! It's time to give me meaning!"
Dark Link then charging at Lucario and frenziedly swung his sword at him, but Lucario quickly jumped up avoiding the attack. "Take THIS!" Lucario then blasted a huge amount of intense light down toward Dark Link. "Flash Cannon!"
Dark Link watched as the huge stream of energy went plummeting down toward him. "Muhahaha…Muhahahah…MWAHAHAHAHA!" Dark Link quickly spun his blade and jumped up toward the light to meet it head-on.
"What? Are you insane…Uh…Rhetorical question…What do you think your doing? You'll never survive that attack head-on!" Lucario shouted out to Dark Link.
But Dark Link didn't listen, he just kept going and so him and the huge bright energy collided into each other, which immediately caused a huge explosion.
The huge explosion sent Lucario spiraling backward, he crashed and landed on something hard. "Uhh…Ouch…What was that?" Lucario then turned and saw The Link Trophy lying right underneath him. "What's this…It looks exactly like…" Lucario then turned toward the explosion, the smoke had finally died down and he saw no sign of Dark Link anymore. "He's gone. The Flash Cannon must've obliterated him…"
Lucario then heard a voice. "Muhahahaha…You might had defeated me today, but I shall return. As long as "he" lives, I shall never die. Me and him are forever bounded together." Dark Link's voice went all throughout Lucario's head. "I know now what my purpose in life is…To defeat you know and ridding myself of him...Muhahahaha." Before Dark Link's voice faded away, Lucario heard one more thing. "Shall we meet again…Mwahahahahah…It will be I, prevailing."
"Him…What do he…" Lucario then turned and faced the Link Trophy, suddenly the aura reappeared on his paw, it was blue. "Hmm…The life-force was emitting from this trophy?" Lucario placed his hand on his chin. "But…How? Is this the work of that strange being, and if so…Where is the other life-force/trophy? So many thoughts…"
Lucario just sighed and started touching around the Link Trophy, trying to see if there was any kind of way to turn Link back to normal.
Lucario's hand had went everywhere expect toward the mantelpiece. "This is the only part of the Trophy I haven't touched, let's just hope this works…" Lucario then touched the mantelpiece and was immediately blinded by a bright glow. "Uhh…What's going on? I can't see…" he grunted, covering his eyes from the bright light.
The light finally faded away and Lucario could see again. "Uhh…Huh? I-It relieved him?" Lucario gasped, loudly staring at Link, who was lying unconscious on the ground. "That green tunic…Where have I seen that before…Come to think of it, that other being reminded me of someone as well…"
Lucario then gasped, loudly as he finally realized where he seen Link. "Uhh…H-He's the hero of this world, Link! But…What was that other monster, and what did he meant by: bound together?"
Smash Kingdom, Kongo Jungle Zone
Pit was still searching high and low for the Meta Knight Trophy, still unaware that Nega-Mario, Marth, and The Ice Climbers was still following behind him. "Muhahaha…I think it about that time, my minions…" Nega-Mario sniggered.
"Master, do that mean you want us to convert the angel now?" Marth said, turning to Nega-Mario with a vacantly expression.
"What do you think?" Nega-Mario said, sarcastically, while placing his hands in his pocket.
"Uh…I'm very sorry, Master, please forgive my ignorance!" Marth said, bowing to Nega-Mario.
"Uhh…Whatever." Nega-Mario said, turning his back on him. "Oh, by the way…Hurry up with this task. There's somebody who just arrived in this jungle who I want to meet…" he smirked, looking in Plum and Kirby's directions.
"Yes, of course, Master…" said Marth. Marth and The Ice Climbers then leapt away from Nega-Mario and started heading toward Pit.
A/N: Whoa! Dark Link was insane! Whatever happened to Peach? Stay tune.
