Chaos raised Shadow Ball, which was in the shape of a katana, and started slicing demons up left, right and centre. Lowthos and Inferno were blasting them with fireballs, while Zephyr kept them pinned down with a cyclone.
"Everyone savvy?" shouted Chaos.
"Sweet," replied Zephyr. "Chaos, watch your six!"
Chaos swung Shadow Ball behind him without turning round, and heard the familiar sound of a demon disintegrating as the weapon made contact.
"Hold it! Hold it!" shouted a voice in the distance. "Everybody freeze!"
Link walked slowly over the hill, flanked by two huge demons.
"Well, well, well," he said. "Chaos the Doppelganger. Long time no see, bro."
Chaos snarled.
"No need to ask what you've been up to," he said. "World domination isn't usually your thing, Slick. What's wrong? Saving princesses not paying the bills anymore?"
"I figured it was time for a change," Link replied casually, twirling the Master Sword in his hand. "So, Inferno and Lowthos are back, are they? Haven't seen you guys in a while."
"You're just as pathetic as I remembered," said Inferno.
"Pathetic enough to defeat you," laughed Link. "So, what brings you guys here?"
"You know," said Chaos. "Kill a few demons, destroy you, avenge my father. The usual."
"I see," said Link. "Well then, how about we make it a rematch? Just you and me."
"Inferno, Lowthos, Zephyr," said Chaos. "Keep the demons off my back. Harmony, Auron, you might like to stay back."
Chaos stepped forward, raising Shadow Ball.
"It's been a long time since I've seen that," said Link. "You really think you can beat me?"
"No," said Chaos. "I know I can beat you."
