The Legend of Twilight: Link Between Equestria

Red means stop music.

***********************************************************************************************************

As Link walked in the room he heard a slam behind him. He turned around and saw the door was closed and covered in black crystals. He then turned back around to face Sombra. Link continued to walk toward Sombra and stopped when he reached the bottom of the slope going up to the throne.

Link looked up at Sombra even if his face showed a calm collected king, but under that calm exterior was massive amounts of rage and hatred directed at him alone. He knew Sombra was enraged that he released the crystal ponies from their enslavement and how he killed all the monsters he threw at him even if they almost got the upperhoof on him.

"Well I must say, I wasn't expecting company." Sombra began in a calm tone. "If I did I would have something set up for you Link."

"Then you must be really blind to know what's been going on in your kingdom." Link retorted. "I expected a king such as yourself would have a more open eye, but from the looks of it your missing one."

Link felt Sombras anger rise but he kept a calm composure.

"I guess I have you to blame for this, nopony from any of my battles in the past have managed to leave a single scar on me during battle but you are the first." Sombra spoke. "That is quiet impressive for such a young colt as yourself."

"From our last encounter I was able to size up your strength and from anyone or anything I faced in the past your not one of the strongest."

Link felt his anger rising even more this was good anger would blind him during there upcoming battle.

"I see." Sombra spoke in a dark tone. "Well once I have the pleasure of killing the pest that  you are, I will punish those crystal ponies thoroughly. Then when The crystal heart is powered with enough negative emotion I shall spread it across equstria ruling everything through fear."

"I won't let that happen this is were your reign ends whoever faced you before weren't strong enough to kill you but I'll make sure you won't harm anypony again." Link said as he pulled out his sword and got into a battle stance.

Sombra only grinned at Link. "Don't disappoint me, It's been far too long since I had a worth opponent."

Sombra than got up from his throne and he began concentrating his magic. His horn started to glow with a purple color and bubbled all over.

Suddenly he  yelled out and his magic covered his body. From the floor Sombra shadow had begun to rise up from the ground and shift. his shadow was now of his upper body and and two swords made from his shadow were on both sides.

Soon the shadow charged at Link ready to begin swinging at him. As the shadow got the blade from it right side and swung it at link who back step out of the way the other shadow blade was a overhead attack which he immediately side stepped out of the way. Link tried to slice down at the shadow but saw his sword go right through it.

Before he had time to react the shadow detached and hit Link in his face which made him stagger back. One of the shadow blade tried to slash Link horizontally but he managed to regain his bearings and roll under it. The shadow began to shift became a large sword. It then began to glow with the same purple energy from Sombras horn. The sword swung and sent a large horizontal beam of energy at him. Link raised his right forehoof with the mirror shield in front of him hoping to not take too much damage from the massive attack coming straight towards him.

Somehow Link didn't feel any pain, he looked back up and saw that the energy attack had passed him but was missing a chunk from it. He lowered his hoof and shield down wondering what just happened and what that weird buzzing noise was. Link was however to distracted to notice another beam coming straight towards him. The attack hit Link and caused pain to circulate throughout his body like he was being shocked but ten times worse. Link felt his right rear leg go limp but he managed to keep his balance.

Link then noticed his shadow was longer he looked up and saw a shadow blade coming down on him. He managed to roll to the side in time to dodge it but it caused his limp leg to feel even more pain. Link raised it so he wouldn't risk hurting it. He couldn't roll now with his leg injured right now. Link saw the main body of the shadow coming toward him with both it's blade in front of it in a X formation Link brought his sword in front of him to block the attack.

When the shadow got close enough it slashed in a X Link was prepared to block it but it was for nothing since the shadow passed right through his sword and slashed at his chest. Link didn't have time to recover before the head of the main shadow had slammed into his chest sending back a couple feet.

Link brought a hoof to the cut on his chest while still managing to keep his balance on two hooves. He immediately pulled his hoof back and saw blood on it. How did a shadow manage to be both solid and not at the same time. Link quickly glimpsed at Sombra and saw that he was standing still, with his horn glowing, and eyes closed. Link realizing the shadow wasn't the main priority he knew what to do now.

Link slowly lowered his rear leg and delighted that it wasn't hurting anymore, he began to run toward Sombra. He dodged every attack his shadow made at him keeping his eyes on the main enemy. He then began climbing up his throne, he got his sword ready to do a slice at him. Suddenly Link felt something grab his rear hoof causing him to trip he looked back and saw that his own shadow wrapped around him.

Link then felt it pick him and threw him in the air. Sombra shadow came above him and hit Link hard on his back slamming him down on the floor hard enough to make spiderweb cracks. Link slowly got up and saw that he was missing his shadow. He looked up and saw that his shadow had fully came out of the ground and was standing next to Sombra with a sword in its mouth.

Links shadow began to charge toward Link ready to slash at him. Link raised his sword ready to parry the attack. As the shadow swung at Link, he slashed at the opposite direction of the shadows but his parry went straight through the sword but when it made contact with his cheek he managed to cut him. Link back flipped and felt the blood going down his face.

How is he suppose to beat a shadow if he can't hurt it, if he tried to go for Sombra the shadows would block his assault and counterattack. The shadow Link then raised it's sword in the air and it started glowing and getting bigger. Link quickly raised his shield in a effort to block the oncoming attack. The shadow Link then thrust his sword in a stabbing motion and a beam of darkness was going straight towards Link. Link waited for something to happen but nothing did. He looked over his shield and saw the attack disappeared and the only thing in front of him was a very confused shadow Link.

Link then heard the buzzing noise from before but a lot louder. He looked down and saw that his shield was glowing a black color. He then realized what was going on, he was absorbing the shadows attack. The mirror shield has the effect to reflect and store magic and be able to launch it back even stronger. Sombra must be using magic to control these shadows that's why he was able to absorb it. Link now knew how to defeat these shadows.

He sensed something behind him, Link quickly spun around and raised his shield to absorb a oncoming shadow sword from Sombras shadow. The mirror shield was now glowing darker and was making more noise. He just needed to absorb one more attack and launch it at Sombra. Sombras shadow showed a face of anger and was beginning to shift its form. Link eyes went wide when the shadow became a dragon.

The shadow raised its head and looked ready to start breathing flames. Link quickly turned around and started running, at that time he felt the heat near his body. Link looked behind him to see instead of red flames they were shadow but, from the looks of it they could still burn things Link turned around just in time to jump over his shadow attempted swing. Link tripped on his hooves but he managed to roll away from the flames. Link suddenly began to feel the fur on his body burning he turned around and saw that his tunic was on fire and it was making its way to his skin to burn him. Link quickly rolled to extinguish the flames which succeeded but, Link saw he had some burns on his body and that he  wouldn't be wearing this tunic anymore after this battle.

Link looked back at the dragon seeing it was charging another flame breath attack. Link got ready to run but saw it launch out a ball made up of shadow. Link looked closely and saw no flames coming out of it he quickly turned around and raised his shield to absorb the attack. Link slid back a few feet but he managed to absorb the attack. Link Looked behind him and saw that he was at the bottom of the steps leading up to the throne. Link raised his shield and fired out all the stored shadow magic which shifted to a beam and went straight towards Sombra. Both his shadow and the dragon tried to stop the attack but the attack just absorbed them both making it more powerful. Sombra opened his eyes just as soon as the Shadow hit him. He screamed out in pain from the attack, when the beam stopped Sombra was standing but had many burnt and cuts which were dropping blood but he managed to stay up and ignore the pain.

Link put his shield down and got back into a battle stance while he harden his glare.

Sombra was getting even more angry with Link. "If simple shadows won't be able to kill you let's see how you handle a small army."

Sombra horn had started to glow even more. Link noticed outlines of ponies had suddenly appeared. Soon Ponies literally made of crystals had begun to form. Link stepped back as even more crystal copies were being made. Soon enough crystal copies were made to fill half  of the throne room. Link felt sweat fall down his face as he surveyed the small army in front of him.

Link sheathed his sword and and pushed himself off the ground to stand on his hind hoofs. He then pulled out the ball and chain swinging it over his head. Link stared at the army in front of him ready to make his move.

Then at the same time both the army and Link charged at each other. Link yelled a battle cry and swung the ball and chain left and right and spun it around twice. destroying a small squad of the crystal ponies. Link then grabbed a chunk of the floor and slammed it down on the ground.

The crystal copies then began to slam into each other, Link was confused at what they were doing when they suddenly started to glow which made Link cover his eyes. when he looked back he saw the the copies were now bigger, double Links height. Link however didn't back down he charged at the larger enemy and swung at it's side, the copy however blocked it with its hoof which it used to slam down on the floor which caused a shock wave made Link fall down from the force. Link then felt the knee of a copy hit him in his stomach making him spit out spittle.

Link didn't have time when the surrounding copies took a shot at him not giving him time to recover. Link managed to land on his hooves and dodge a copies attack. Link looked at the copies surrounding him seeing there were too many. Link then got a idea, he slammed the ball on the floor getting it stuck. Link then jumped in midair and heaved the weapon in a arc which slammed down on the floor creating a massive shock wave destroying a third of the copies.

Sombra sensing the massive lost of copies needed to think of something, Seeing Link distracted he used his magic to conjure up a massive stone pillar. He then slammed it on the unsuspecting Link. Sombra smiled at how easy he was taken care of but then his eyes widen at the sight before him.

Link was lifting the pillar above him like it was nothing. Link then slammed it to the ground and went to one end of it. Link then lifted it and started spinning destroying any copy that was close enough to get hit by it. He then threw the pillar in the air almost hitting the ceiling, once it got to the right amount of height Link jumped up grabbed it then slammed it down on the ground somehow not making a single crack. The result of that attack destroyed most of the army of copies leaving very few.

The massive lost caused Sombra to get a massive headache and made him kneel down on one leg.

Link seeing Sombra open and weak he ran straight towards him. Link jumped up and drew his sword and saw about to slash Sombra but he was knocked out of the air and landed on his back. Link got sat up and looked down as his chest which had a burnt spot on it.

"You wretched brat." Sombra roared at Link losing his temper. "I should have never let these damn copies deal with you." He said as he destroyed the remaining copies.

Link put the Ball and Chain back in his item pouch and unsheathed his sword and got back into his battle stance. His glare getting more intense.

"I will make you feel true pain and suffering." Sombra roared, he then  summoned a scythe which was all black except for the blade which was crimson red and the sword Link saw in his chambers. "I won't be defeated by the pathetic likes of you."

Sombra then disappeared from Links vision. Link looked around trying to find where he went but couldn't find any trace of him.

Link then heard a popping sound behind him which instinctively made him raise his shield, this allowed him to block a downward slash from Sombras scythe but it hit the center which caused Links arm to recoil in pain but he held strong. Link then heard another pop behind him he quickly stood up on his two rear legs and got his sword out of his mouth which he then placed into his left hoof and blocked the sword. Link kept his balance while holding off both weapons from hitting him but his arms were shaking from how much force was being pushed on to him. Link then was sent flying forward into the wall which caused it to make a small crater. Link stabbed his sword into the ground and got up while trying to maintain his balance on two hooves. He looked up to see Sombra with smoke coming out of his horn.

"Give up and I'll make your death a quick and painful one." Sombra demanded.

Link placed his sword back in his mouth and got back in his battle stance. Sombra growled before he teleported again. Link however was ready for him this time.

Link hearing the popping sound again swung his sword faster to the right blocking Sombra overhead slash with his sword. Sombra then began to attack Link with a barrage of sword strikes which he managed to block but gave him no time to counter attack. Link then rolled back dodging a swing of his scythe.  Sombra horn then began to glow Link waited for something to happen but saw nothing came. Link then looked down for a split second and saw many multiple shadows shaped like swords. Link looked up and saw many small black crystal swords hovering above him.

Link looked back at Sombra who had a sadistic smile on his face, his horn glowed again and the swords had started to come down on Link. Link seeing the swords coming at him got into position for a spin attack. Once his sword changed to blue he released the spin attack managing to destroy half the swords and nearly hitting Sombra luckily Link could still use the charged spin attack even if the shield was still up. Link seeing he didn't have enough time to destroy the other half he began to dodge each oncoming sword. Some swords had still manage to cut Link but he managed to dodge the barrage of swords without taking too much damage.

Sombra seeing this was not working decided to to grow crystals under him to impale Link. Link still dodging the swords didn't notice the the ground cracking beneath him. When Link jumped back dodging another sword a sharp crystal pillar shot out and managed to cut the left side of Links torso. Link stepped back to avoid but suddenly another shot up from the ground. Link rolled to the forward dodging it but more kept coming. Link was trying his best to dodge each one but each one managed to hit him even if they barely caused any real pain. Link needed to even the fight and cause some damage to Sombra. Link quickly pulling out farores wind. He then felt his body become a alot more faster.

Sombra anger was reaching his peak Link was still standing dodging all of his attacks. Deciding now was the perfect time to strike he went into the floor and charged at Link. Once behind him he emerged from the floor and raised his sword and scythe ready to slash at him. Before Sombra had the chance to strike Link vanished.

Sombra started wide eyed at where Link used to be looked around searching for the stallion who suddenly teleported. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him. He turned his head to see Link above him with his sword all the way behind him ready to slash at Sombra. Sombra was surprised for a second but grinned and stood still for the oncoming attack. Link then brought his sword down at Sombras back but instead of cutting him it went right through. Link landed on the ground but his face showed confusion.

Sombra quickly turned around and hooked his right hoof and made contact with Link jaw. The strength of the punch was enough to send Link flying until he smashed through the throne and wall and onto the balcony. Link was on floor and started to cough out blood. It was obvious he was losing the fight.

"You're a lot more resilient than I assumed that punch was strong enough to rip a frost dragons head clean off." Sombra spoke as he looked down at Link. "Well you'll have to break sometime."

Link tried to swing at Sombras face but it went right through him. Link tried again, trying to figure out why he wasn't able to hurt Sombra. Their battle from three days ago Link managed to caused hurt Sombra with almost every attack but now he couldn't even hit him once. He had to think, what did he do before that he's not doing now.

Sombra merely looked at Link with a bored face. "You still haven't realized it, it's time you learned that a simple pony as yourself can not defeat me." Sombra then raised his hoof and slammed it down at the back of Links head causing the balcony floor to crack. "I don't know how you manage to damage me three days ago but it seems you don't even know how as, you managed to hold up well but in the end you failed." Sombra then raised his sword and slashed Link right above where his heart is. Link grunted in pain barely managing to not scream in pain.

Sombra raised his sword again and slashed at the same spot but in a different direction. Now above Link were two gashes making a X above his heart. Somba raised his sword high above him ready to finish the stallion. "Any last words before your demise?" Sombra said to the near death stallion.

Link however remained silent he had something planned he just needed to get it ready. Sombra shrugged and brought his sword and aimed it directly at Links heart.

"Very well, this is goodbye Link." Sombra began. "You managed to be a major thorn in my side but now I have the pleasure of riding you from this world." Sombra was ready to bring down  the sword but then felt a huge amount of his pain in his chest. Dropping his sword from his levitation Sombra moved his hooves toward the cause of his pain. Sombra looked down and saw an arrow was piercing through his chest. Sombra removed the sword with his magic.

Sombra then felt his body being slashed at once. Sombra winced in pain and saw that he had many small cuts around his body some even being burned. Sombra then heard something charging behind him. He quickly turned around but as he did something slash at this chest. Sombra took a few steps back and looked up to see Link barely standing with his sword.

Link realizing that his magic was what he used to gain the upper hand on Sombra last time. he charged up one of his his arrows to ake it a light arrow to stab Sombra. Once doing that Sombra was distanced enough for Link to get his sword. Link then charged up his sword to unleash a fully powered spin attack to damage Sombra even more. Now with the knowledge needed to defeat Sombra, Link knew that the battle would now go in his favor. He just hoped the crystal ponies could survive without his shield

"How are you able to hurt me?" Sombra growled in anger and confusion. "I should be completely immune to your attacks. Only something equal to alicorn magic is able to hurt me."

"Then I guess fairy magic is what it takes to beat you." Link said, now confident in his ability to win.

Link then charged at Sombra again but a pillar rose from the balcony floor making Link run head first into it dropping his sword. The pillar then shattered as Sombra held his scythe in his levitation ready to slash at Link. Link rolled back while simultaneously grabbing his sword with his mouth. Sombra then levitated the broken shards of the pillar and fired them at Link to distract him.

Link raised his shield blocking the shards and noticed Sombra moving through the ground like a shadow. Sombra then arose behind Link with his scythe in both his hooves ready to bring it down on Link. Link spun around and block the strike from his scythe with his shield but felt the recoil in his arm which caused even more pain. Sombra created another pillar smashing into Link stomach making him lose his breath and drop his shield, Sombra Then swung his scythe again but Link pushed with his hooves and managed to jump back, the scythe leaving a small wound on Links face.

Link quickly pulled out his clawshot and fired it at Sombra, who didn't realize the oncoming weapon latch on to him. Link then was quickly pulled toward Sombra. Link then quickly turned around and brought his rear legs to Sombra chest which caused him to lose his breath. Link then jumped off his chest and in a quick maneuver pulled out his bow he placed an arrow on it and charged it with light magic and fired it at Sombra chest. Sombra however brought up a shield but when the arrow made impact it exploded.

Link landed back on the ground and stared at Sombra. He can't attack Sombra because of his horn, Link needed to get rid of it fast and  permanently. Link using farores wind again he quickly gained a large amount and sped towards Sombra. Sombra seeing Link coming towards him raised a pillar to collide with him. Link however dodged the pillar Sombra kept trying to hit Link but he missed him every time. he was too distracted to realize that Link was now in front of him His sword glowing a red color. Link slashed upwards not going for Sombra himself but his horn. The slash from the sword sliced the horn clean off.

GRAHHHHHHHH. Sombra screamed in agony as he fell to the floor and held the stump where his horn used to be. He tried to levitate his sword and scythe but couldn't move them a inch. He looked down at where his horn was he tried reach for it, if he could just grab it he could reattach like before, but a hoof suddenly stepped on it. He looked up to see Link with his hoof on his horn he then picked up his horn got into a throwing position and tossed the horn out far into the empire. Soon the crystal shield covering the empire shattered revealing the night sky. Sombra was furious now with his horn gone he grew even more enraged.

Sombra then began to stand up on his hooves breathing very heavily. Sombra went and picked up his sword with his mouth not caring that the sharp crystals were stabbing his mouth causing blood to flow out.

Link and Sombra stared each other down then charged at each other. Their swords clashed and was now a contest of strength as they began pushing each others blade harder to gain the upper hand. Link prevailed and pushed Sombra back. Sombra lost his balance and was open to Links attack. Link went in and charged his magic until his sword glowed blue he then slashed Sombra three times, each leaving three blue slash mark on his chest.

Sombra jumped back to avoid anymore slashes. He growled and charged at Link and swung his sword at him. Link countered with a swing of his own, making the blade clash. Each swordsmen kept clashing with their blades both trying to get a opening to attack. Sombra swung hard at one of Links slashes which caused him to lose his balance seeing his chance Sombra slashed at Links chest making a large gash.

Link stepped back and started to breath very heavily. He and Sombra were both very weak, it came down to who would held out the longest.

Link charged again and started to slash at Sombra very fast. Sombra managed to block all of Links strikes. Link tried getting behind him or to the side of him but no matter where Link moved to attack Sombra was already blocking his assault.

Sombra then pushed Link back with a hard swing from his sword. He then jumped in the air and brought his sword in a downward slash at Link who blocked it with his sword, but caused his legs falter. Sombra then grabbed Links head and slammed it on the balcony floor. Link got up and rolled to the side avoiding a stab from Sombra. Link then rolled forward and charging his magic he slashed upward cutting Sombra chest and and the bottom of his chin. Sombra was launched upward and landed on his back. Link seeing his chance to end this. He charged his sword till it was glowing red. Link jumped in the air where his sword extended in length. Link then slammed down the sword in the cracked part of Sombras chest.

He screamed in agony and pain. Link then back flipped and turned around. He grabbed his sword with his left hoof, he then swung his sword right, left, then spun it in a circle twice, and sheathed it. Link then began to walk away till he heard shuffling behind him. He turned around and couldn't believe it. Sombra was getting back up even after the beating he gave him. Link went to reach for his sword but Sombra had begun talking.

I think it's time I ended this. Sombra said breathing heavily. His stubbed horn then began to glow the bubbly purple color. Link then saw that the balcony was shining a black color. He looked behind him and saw a black heart was floating towards Sombra. I ma-y not h-av-e eno-ug-h ener-gy to rul-e equ-st-ria .He barely got out. But I h-av-e eno-u-gh to en-d this. Suddenly the heart began glowing darker.

Before Link had time to realize the heart shot a beam and hit him directly. Link head suddenly began to hurt. He held his head and fell to the floor holding his head hoping the pain would go away with both his hooves  Links eyes then became just like Sombras and after that he blacked out.
