A TAIL OF FIVE FURRIES
Chapter 10: A Tail of Five Foxes
"So Fawful," said Zant. "How long will it take the foxes to reach us?"
"That depends," said Fawful. "If they get defeated by the Bongo Bongo who is evil, they might be slowed down a bit."
"I can slow them down," said Dimentio, and he teleported away.
Fox, Krystal, Renamon, Lucario, Tails, Bunkheff, and Bunk walked through the shadowy passages of the Shadow Temple.
"I've got a bad feeling about this," said Bunk. "You and I are both wearing red shirts."
"We're wearing red jackets," said Bunkheff. "There's a difference. And we both have last names."
Suddenly they vanished, in a Dimentio style teleportation, and reappeared in Kakariko Village. A barrier was set up around everywhere except the well.
"This must be where Kakariko Village gets their drinking water from," said Krystal.
Dimentio, in the shadows, snapped his fingers, and the water drained from the well.
The foxes and bullies climbed down the well and walked through its dark passageways. It was full of skulls. Zombies and mummies jumped out at them.
"Re-Deads!" said Krystal, shooting a zombie in the head.
"And Gibdos!" said Lucario, shooting an energy ball at a mummy.
When they were all dead, they walked further. In several places there was blood on the floor. A Skulltula dropped from the ceiling.
"SPIDERS!" said Bunk, cowering.
"Diamond Storm!" said Renamon, and she destroyed the Skulltula.
"There might be more," said Bunk, and he ran down a passageway he thought led to the exit.
"NO!" said Krystal. "I sense an evil presence in that…"
But before she could finish her sentence, Bunk fell through the floor, which, in this room, was an illusion! He fell into a pool of acid with ReDead all along the side, and was no more.
"That's creepy," said Fox, as they walked into another room. "The well where they get drinking water is full of zombies, mummies, skulls, giant spiders, blood, acid, and Dead Hand!"
"Dead Hand?" said Tails.
But they saw him as they entered. Four decaying hands reaching out of the ground.
"There's only one way to draw him out," said Fox. He walked up to a hand, which grabbed him. An undead monster appeared from the ground and attacked Fox.
Krystal swung her staff and cut off Dead Hand's head.
"That was quick," said Lucario.
A dimensional door appeared, and they entered it, reappearing in the Shadow Temple. They were in front of a great boat above a chasm of darkness. They walked aboard the boat and it began moving. When it reached the end, it began to sink. Fox, Krystal, Renamon, Lucario, and Tails jumped off the boat onto the ground. Bunkheff was not as lucky. He was too afraid by what he'd seen in the well, from which he'd drunk several times, to notice that the ship was sinking.
"BUNKHEFF! MOVE!" said Fox, but it was too late. Bunkheff went down with the ship as it sank into the darkness.
The foxes crossed a bridge and entered a room full of invisible platforms. Lucario used Aura Storm to reveal them, and the foxes crossed the platforms to reach the boss door. They were standing in a room with a hole in it. The foxes looked at each other and then jumped down the hole.
There they saw the Phantom Shadow Beast, Bongo Bongo.
Fox and Krystal used Rocket Launchers to blow up one of Bongo Bongo's hands, and Renamon destroyed the other with Diamond Storm.
"I sense a mighty force!" said Krystal as Bongo Bongo's invisible eye opened. Lucario sensed it also, and as Bongo Bongo moved closer to them, Lucario powered up. He unleashed a powerful Aura Storm, hitting Bongo Bongo's eye directly and making him visible and vulnerable. Krystal pulled out her staff, Lucario pulled out the Moblin spear, and Fox pulled out a spiked club. The three of them struck Bongo Bongo's eye at once, and he was defeated. Bongo Bongo turned a dark fizzy color and melted into the drum they were standing on.
A dimensional door appeared and the furries all walked through it.
