It's the chapter a lot of you having been waiting for. The chapter when Ganondorf faces against Team Outcast.

RS: OH YEAH!

Naruto: Bring it!

Link: This should be good

Arashen: I look forward to seeing this fight.

Arren: This is going to be fun.

LR: Damn straight! Thanks again to Allan for all his work on this story with me. Now, if you remember last time, Team Outcast was about to face the jounin, who shape shifted in enemies from Twilight Princess. Two things. These guys can shape shift into any creature, so they are not limited to ones I have all ready mentioned.

Two, they are not immortal. They just have increased healing rates, like Naruto does, thanks to Kyuubi. Anyways, here .... we..... GO!

(B/N: I, Allan Pike, Feline Lone Wolf, apologize for any frustration caused by my beta block.)

(A/N: And I say that if anyone gives him grief about it, I'll be sorely disappointed in those who do.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Legend of Zelda, Arren Pikku Uzumaki, Eflower Angelius, or any jutsu to whom I give props to someone else for.

Chapter 25

This Ends Now!

The four jounin finished their transformations into their chosen creature like forms. One had grown several feet taller, and had become incased in ebon black armor. He carried a round metal shield, that was half black, and half tan brown. He carried a huge, slightly curved blade in his other hand, and a straight bladed long sword at his sword.

Another jounin had morphed into a dinosaur like lizard, which stood on two clawed feet. He was about two feet taller than Arren, and carried a silver dome shield in one hand, and a single bladed axe, with the ax blade being slightly squared. He was covered in armor from top of his snout, to the end of his tail, which had two spikes on each side. His chest and belly wasn't armored though.

The third had become skeletal, with strange, glowing green eyes. He had pauldrons on his bony shoulders, and carried a buckler shield made out of dense bone, and large blade which bulged at the end, creating a weird, club like look to the blade.

The last one turned into a lizard like creature as well. Unlike the other one, he was about as tall as Naruto and Link. He had little armor, except for a metal skull cap, and a round shield. He carried a rapier like long sword in one hand. And, he had a pair of wings.

Link simply had a stunned look on his face, as he was facing enemies he had never hoped to meet again. Everyone else was apprehensive. Naruto looked over his shoulder at Link.

"What do we do? You're the expert here."

Link shook his head to clear it. "Okay, the giant armored one there is a DarkNut. You have to knock all that armor off him, only then you can actually hurt him. The other armored one is a Dynafos. That armor is really strong, so it's best to counter attack, instead of attacking. The other one with wings is an Aerafos, and mostly sticks to swooping down with his sword to kill you."

"I'll handle the flying one." Eflower said softly, readying her blade. Next to her, Arren locked onto his target. "I'll handle the Dyna. He shouldn't be able to keep up with my speed." The warrior's weights had long since been taken off.

Nodding in agreement, Link looked at the skeletal warrior. "I guess I should take the Stalfos."

"So that leaves us with the DarkNut." Naruto said, as he and Hinata looked up at the imposing figure. With that, the five of them leapt into action.

Arren and Eflower Vs Dynafos and Aerafos

Arren and Eflower mimicked each other, by charging forward with blades at the ready. The Aerafos leapt into the air, hovering as it waited for the angel to come to it. The Dynafos dug in, his shield ready to block Arren's first strike. But there are no certainties in battle, except that someone will die. And what happened next proved that point.

The fighting pair didn't share a glance, as their thought were on the same level, and they both knew what the other would do. Their union in battle was almost at it's highest possible point, as they performed a very unorthodox maneuver. They both jumped, with Eflower jumping higher. She landed on Arren's back, and used him as a springboard to leap higher, and increase her speed. In doing so, she helped the last Pikku blast towards the ground, and his opponent. They both reached their opponents at the same time, and both appeared in the same place. Behind their opponents.

Arren landed on his hands, using his arms to transfer the energy he gained from his fall into a powerful double kick to the Dynafo's back, launching the armored lizard into the air. Eflower twisted as she shot past the Aerafos, her right foot slamming into the lizard's back. The two shape shifting lizards headed straight towards each other.

With a sickening crunch, they collided, hanging in the air for a second, before gravity sent them crashing into the ground. The momentum from the two kicks sent them skidding, causing sparks to come off the Dynafos armor, adding to the damage of the attack. Eventually, they stopped, and both lizards managed to get to their feet. Hissing in anger, they struck back.

The Dynafos charged Arren, it's ax held high above it's head, ready to be brought down in a vicious swing. The Aerafos surged into the air, it's sword held low for an uppercut swing. Arren readied himself for the attack. "Is that all you got?" He said, as he dodged to one side, avoiding the ax swinging down at him. He snapped his leg up in a kick at the Dynafos chin, but the armored lizard blocked it with his shield. An act which threw the Pikku warrior off balance. The Dynafos quickly whipped it's bladed tail around, intent on slicing Arren. "How do you move so fast?!" Arren yelled, as he jumped to escape the attack.

However, he wasn't able to jump high enough. The tail clipped his foot, and while it wasn't enough to damage him, it did send him off balance, so instead of landing, he crashed into the ground. Ironically, this helped the Pikku, as the Dynafos followed up with a shield bash. The attack, which would have caused a fair amount of damage, sailed over Arren, throwing the Dynafos off balance. Arren kicked at the lizard, before rolling away, and getting to his feet.

Up in the air, Eflower hovered, waiting for her opponent to reach her. While she did, she began channeling the power of her people. She drew on the angel power in her, and into her left hand. In her right hand, she held her white long sword, a weapon that all angels, and even outcast angels could summon. A sword that was stronger than any weapon a mortal could make.

With a hideous screech, the Aerafos swung it's sword upwards, only for the angel to release a short blast of energy. The action forced the angel out of the swords way, and the Aerafos path. It couldn't stop, as it shot pass Eflower, only for the outcast angel to grab its tail.

Angel energy heals those that are good, and damage, or kill those that are evil. And a shape shifting creature possessing a body was considered evil. The Aerafos screeched out as the energy in Eflower's left hand burned its tail. Taking a firm hold, she twisted around, throwing the Aerafos at the Dynafos. But as she threw him, her sword came up, and slicing through scales, and leaving a shallow cut from snout to tail.

The armored lizard glanced upwards when it heard it's companion scream in pain. In doing so, he had plenty of time to dodge aside. The Aerafos crashed into the ground with sickening crunch. The Dynafos glared at the flying healer, roaring as it smashed it's tail into the ground. It ripped up a boulder, which it flung at Eflower while still roaring. Eflower didn't make a move, as Arren was performing two series of one handed seals with each hand. He finished with Naruto's favorite seal. The warrior said no words, as the rock exploded.

Normally, rocks explode into a wide area, and the shards rip into anything with in that area. But that was normal exploding rocks. This rock was the target of a brand new jutsu, made up on the spot by the last Pikku. It had no name, or rank. But that doesn't mean it wasn't a deadly attack. For the shards of the rock were directed at the two lizards. And for each shard, nine solid copies appeared, increasing the amount of shards almost ten fold. Smiling, Arren sent the two shards raining down on the two lizards.

The Dynafos quickly set his back to the shards, bending it's back, and lowering it's head, thus covering himself, and covering the Aerafos from the attack. It mostly worked. The rock shards and shadow clone shards just impacted against the metal of his armor, and shattered or disappeared into smoke. A few that were aimed outside the Dynafos gave the Aerafos a few flesh wounds. The Dynafos roared again as it turned, except a huge torrent of mud came out of it's mouth, and turned into a dragon, which launched a river of mud at Arren.

"Missed!" Arren yelled, as he dodged to one side. Eflower smiled as she finished her own hand signs. Using the water from the mud, she created a huge, angelic water dragon at the two lizards. The Aerafos, bearing a few flesh wounds from the few shards that had gotten past the Dynafos, leapt into the air, while the Dynafos got blasted back against the wall. The Aerafos hurled itself at Eflower. He smashed into her, driving her into the wall, as it rebounded off, and back into the air.

"HEY!" Arren, yelled, going demonic at the sight of his girlfriend getting hurt. "Die you damn lizard!" The warrior roared, as he whipped Ikou around, the red chain ripping into the flesh of the Aerafos as it wrapped around it. He yanked back on it, bringing the shape shifter to him. He let go of the chain with one hand, and delivered a powerful right hook to it's jaw. The Aerafos went flying, but as Ikou went taunt, Arren whipped it around, so the Aerafos smashed into the Dynafos. The bladed chained locked with the Dynafos armor, swinging them both around. He yanked on the chain, pulling both the lizard creatures from another realm to him. He side stepped as he released the chain, and kicked both of the lizards into the air. Eflower suddenly appeared, using the Dynafos as a platform, as she launched up, and delivered a front kick to the Aerafos. The flying lizard crashed into the crater Eflower had been, while the Dynafos crashed into a crater of it's own.

Link vs Stalfos

Link charged forward, his sword meeting the Stalfos blade. The two struggled for a moment, Links face inches from the skull of the Stalfos. Then they broke apart. Link slashed at the Stalfos, only for it to block with it's shield. He then moved to use a skill that had always worked in the past. He bashed the Stalfos with his shield, the leapt up, ready to perform the Helm splitter. But somehow, the Stalfos actually blocked his sword. He landed, and barely blocked a downward swing with his shield.

What is going on? There's no way he should have moved that fast. Link and the Stalfos continued to trade blows, which just confimred Link's fears. This Stalfos was a lot stronger than the ones before. He grunted as he dodged another sword slash, only to yell out as the hilt of the sword crashed into his stomach. He crashed into the ground, rolling several times, before he got back up. He quickly got to one knee, and looked up. He yelled again as he raised the Master Sword to block another downward strike. He managed to get back up to his feet, but was backed against the wall. He blocked a few more strikes, but then a heavy blow knocked the Master Sword from his hand. He quickly blocked more attacks with his Hylian Shield, but then, it was knocked aside to. Link dodged to one side, and reached behind his back. As the Stalfos approached him, it swung downwards. There was a clang, as Link held up his hands, which held both the axes he had gotten since arriving in Konoha. They had formed an X, catching the blade below the blades of the axes, on the metal handles.

Link twisted to the side, before shoving the Stalfos with his shoulder. He started swinging at the Stalfos, always having one ax on attack, and the other to block. He suddenly struck low, catching the Stalfos on the back of it's ankle with the handle of one of his axes, and tripping it. He spun both axes, before driving down into the ground, pinning the Stalfos at it's arms. He retrieved his shield and sword, before heading back towards the pinned Stalfos.

Naruto and Hinata vs Darknut

Naruto charged forward. The Darknutgrunted as he swung his sword down at Naruto, who dodged to the side, then ran up the back of the blade. He jumped off the blade, and smashed his fist right across the Draknut's helmet. The armored warrior stumbled slightly as Naruto landed. But as he straightened up, Hinata's staff struck him in the helmet, knocking it off. Underneath was a type of second helmet, that was like a half cylinder with breathing holes. Hinata held her staff defensively, as the Darknut turned to her, and readied to strike down at her, only for the arm with the heavy blade to be restrained by a dozen Naruto's. While that was happening, a dozen more began pummeling the Darknut, trying to remove more pieces of the bulky, heavy armor. A few pieces, including the shield, were ripped away, before the Darknut roared out, and threw the Naruto clones everywhere. He turned, swinging his sword at Naruto, only to miss him by inches. But then a large, armored fist smashed into the side of Naruto's head, sending him flying.

As Naruto crashed into a wall, Hinata did a series of one handed seals, before grabbing the staff again. She closed her eyes, as the staff became covered in lightning. She swung hard at the Darknut, knocking off one of the pieces of armor and delievering a shock to the Darknut. She swung again, only for her staff to be grabbed by he Darknut. He lifted her up, and swung her around, flinging her into another wall. Hinata hit it, and slowly fell to the ground.

The Darknut turned in time for Naruto to ram a Rasengan into his chest. The remaining pieces of armor blew off, as the Darknut crashed into a wall, creating a huge crater. Naruto sighed, as he went over to Hinata, who was moaning slightly as she started to get up.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he helped her up. She nodded, and gave him a small smile. It suddenly vanished, as her eyes widened, and she grabbed him. She yanked him down, as the huge sword crashed into the wall above their heads. They both turned to see the Darknut, now free of it's armor. It looked like it was covered in some type of metal cloth, as it grabbed the long sword from it's side, and held it in one hand, ready to fight. Naruto pulled out Izou, as Hinata readied her staff. With a nod to each other, they charged.

Arren and Eflower vs Dynafos and Aerafos

The Dyanfos slowly crawled out of the crater it was in, while the Aerafos weakly flapped out of it's crater, and landed on it's knees.

"Seems they can't take much more of this." The demonic Arren said to his flying girlfriend. That was before the dark power enveloped the two lizards. Their wounds began to heal, and they got back to their feet, their eyes blazing with power. With a roar, the Dynafos charged Arren, faster than before, while the Aerafos leapt back into the air, heading straight towards Eflower. The Dyanfos leapt into the air, ready to swing his ax down at Arren, while the Aerafos flapped up to Eflower, it's sword poised to strike.

Suddenly, there was a poof of smoke, and Eflower was the one falling at Arren. He caught her bridal style, while the Dynafos crashed into the Aerafos. Eflower gave Arren a mischievous look, as she pecked him on the cheek. But both were suddenly blinded by a burst of dark energy coming off the two lizards. When their eyes cleared, they looked up. The Aerafos and Dynafos were gone, replaced by a new creature. A large dragon, about twice the size of the Dynafos, hovered above them. It was a thin creature, covered in midnight black armor from wing to wing, and snout to tail, which had a heavy mace like attachment on the end of it. It also had two curved horns coming off the head plate. It gave out a loud roar, before swooping down at them.

(A/N: To you Twilight Princess Players out there, yes it is. It's a scaled down version of the dragon Argarok, the boss of the Sky Temple. With a couple of modifications.)

"EASY!" Arren shouted, as he skipped to one side, letting the dragon and its sharp talons fly past. "Still, I won't be able to do much damage on the ground, and the others might get hurt by that thing." The warrior, said, as he gently set Eflower on the ground.

"That means," He let go of Haiya's power, "I'll have to go angel." He finished, as the transformation became complete. The armor had changed, just like it had when he used Haiya's power. Now, the yellow coloring of the armor was pure white, and was covered in runes that echoed with ancient and holy power. The helmet had grown a face guard, like in demon form, but it now looked like it was glowing with light. The blade shields had merged with the armor, and he now held the thin, white chain known as Chisoku.

"Let's take this to the air!" He shouted, as he unfolded his six wings, and with Eflower, took off after the dragon.

The dragon had been turning around, barely missing the wall with its left wing as it turned to the right. But it turned it's head enough to see Arren and Eflower. It roared again, as it let loose a jet of fire at them from it's mouth.

"Woah!" Arren yelled, as both he and Eflower dived out of the way of the flames. Unfortunately, both their feet got singed. The dragon roared as it dived down at Eflower, it's greater weight making it fall faster. Eflower just smiled as she replaced herself with the dragon, and it crashed into the ground.

Or, that was her intent. The replacement worked, except the dragon merely landed, and ran, leaping into the air again with a roar. Eflower cursed, but then smiled as she saw she had the height advantage. She dived down, her blade drawn, and landed on the back of the dragon.

Almost immediately, it began bucking it's long narrow back, trying to shake her off. She grabbed onto one of the armored plates, and held on, looking for a weak spot in the armor.

Above, Arren watched in pride and amazement as his girlfriend stayed on the dragons back. "Wait to go E!" He shouted. Eflower finally found an opening, and slowly pulled herself towards it. When she reached it, she held her sword up, and drove it in between the armored plates. The dragon roared out, and rolled over. Eflower managed to puller her blade out, but the force of freeing her sword, and the roll, made her lose her grip. She tumbled off the dragons back, and rolled through the air, before she managed to straighten herself out. Arren smiled as he devised his own plan, and got ready.

Naruto and Hinata vs Darknut

Naruto cursed as he stepped back, barely avoidingblade swung at him. The Draknut was faster, and even more so after Hinata managed to get a lucky it, and break it's leg. Than this dark energy had enveloped it, and the leg had healed almost instantly. Now, it was faster, and the blows felt stronger as Naruto blocked them. But the skill seen before was gone. Naruto gritted his teeth in frustration.

Link Vs Stalfos

Before Link could finish the Stalfos, it unleashed a wave of dark energy, sending the twin axes flying. Now, it was back on it's feet, and ready to fight. Ad now, it was faster and stronger. But it's all ready poor skills, even if they were better than most Stalfos, were worse. Link was able to dodge and block easily. The problem was all his attacks just simply seemed to be healed after he made them. He grunted in frustration as he pressed a new assault.

Neither Naruto and Hinata, or Link, noticed that their attacks were pushing their enemies towards each other. Link managed to get a burst of speed, and trip the Stalfos.

Hinata struck low at the Darknut's legs, while Naruto struck high, knocking the warrior back.

The two struck each other, and there was a flash of dark energy, which blinded the three of them. When they were able to see, they gaped in horror. Where once two enemies had been, now hovered one. A giant being, clothed in a robe that seemed to end in smoke. His hands were skeletal, and clutched a huge cleaving blade made out of dark metal, and covered in glowing red runes. The head was skeletal as well, with a pointed snout, slanted, glowing red eyes, and two horns growing out to the side.

"Death Sword." Link uttered in horror. The giant skeletal figure seemed to smile, before phasing out of the visible spectrum, except it's sword. Hinata activated her Byakugan, but couldn't see anything. "Link, what is this?!" She yelled.

"Death Sword. A ghost warrior of great evil, who protected a weapon in the Arbiter Grounds back in Hyrule. Right now, he is invisible, but if we can sense him and hurt him, he will re-appear."

Naruto watched the movement of the sword carefully, as it slowly hovered there. Then it suddenly raised up. "LOOK OUT!" He shouted, as the three of them dodged the attack. Link immediately turned, and slashed at where he thought the figure to be, only to miss.

"This was easier when I could turn into a wolf!" He shouted, as the sword came back up, and twisted around, coming to slash at them horizontally. They ducked under it, as it swept over head. Naruto struck out, but like Link, hit nothing.

There has to be something we can do! He thought.

"Naruto! We need to find him! Use my chakra as a pulse!" Daini yelled to Naruto. Naruto concentrated on the chakra flowing through him, and using the chakra of the former Kyuubi, unleashed a pulse of chakra. Almost immediately, he "felt" a figure ahead and to the left of him. With a yell, he threw a kunai with an explosive tag at the figure. The kunai missed, but the explosion caused a smoke screen, which outlined the Death Sword. Link jumped at it, and slashed it with the Master Sword. The creature howled, as it came back into sight. But now, it glared at them, as it hovered into the air, above their reach.

"Things just got worse." Naruto said, as they prepared for the next fight.

Arren and Eflower vs Argarok

Eflower rolled again in the air, as she dodged another wind blast. The dragon had taken up position with it's back to wall, and began using its wings and firebreath to keep Eflower at bay. But it had forgotten about Arren, who had moved behind a pillar, and clung to it, after signaling Eflower what he was , while she kept the dragons attention, he moved around behind it.

He smiled as he pulled out Chisoku, and began to twirl around above his head. And then he swung it forward at the back of the dragon. It wrapped around it's neck, and locked into place.

The dragon roared out, and twisted to try and get at Arren. But Arren moved quickly, and landed on it's back. He held onto part of the chain with one hand, while he twirled the other end of the blade chained with the other, and swung it down. The blades of the chain ripped into the armor plates, and he yanked them off, revealing the base of the dragons neck. The dragon was still bucking around, and almost through Arren off. But he managed to regain his balance, as he summoned a long blade to the armor around his free hand. With a yell, he plunged it into the open area, and the dragon let out a pain filled roar, as it fell towards the ground. Arren leapt off, loosening the chain, so it coiled around his armored chest.

Naruto, Hinata, and Link vs Death Sword

Link fired another arrow, only for it to be blocked by the sword the ghost warrior held. He just couldn't bring the thing down for them to destroy. And when Naruto had tried to use an enhanced jump, he had almost been cut it half by the attack. Now they were busy trying to bring the thing down, while avoiding it's swooping sword attacks.

Inside Naruto, Daini was going over every jutsu and skill she knew. There had to be something that would work! And then she remembered.

"Naruto! We need to use my power! About four tails worth should it! Then use this!" She mentally shared what she was thinking, and Naruto smiled, as her power flowed over him, and four tails of chakra enveloped him. He performed the hand signs, then slammed his hands on the ground. "Biju art, Constricting Chains!"

Suddenly, chains made out of pure energy shot out of the ground, and wrapped around the Death Sword. It let out a howl as it fell to the floor, where Link waited. He drove the Master Sword right through its head.

The creature howled, as it dispersed into hundreds of flies, which were then blown away as the dragon hit the ground, where it exploded into smoke and flames.

Arren and Eflower both landed next to the group. Arren released his angel powers, and Eflower withdrew her wings, while Naruto, Hinata, and Link recovered kunai, arrows, and Link's axes. Everyone was showing some signs of fatigue. For Arren and Naruto, the stamina freaks, they were panting lightly and sweating slightly. Both Eflower and Hinata were panting heavily, and had sat down. Link was in between. He had high endurance, because he was running around herding goats, and slaying monsters and evil wizards for a living. But he didn't have a demoness of near infinite chakra, or a demon who was half wolf inside of him. So he was panting less than the girls, but more than Arren and Naruto.

Naruto passed out soldier pills to everyone but Link, who he gave water mixed with a special herb to help regain lost stamina. Another of Hinata's special medical creations. After they had rested for a few minute's, Naruto stood up. "Everyone ready?"

They all nodded, and proceeded down the path Ganondorf had gone. Now, the halls were well lit, and the walls and columns were made from marble. Their footsteps echoed through the hall, until they finally arrived.

It was a large room, vast, bigger than the arena in Konoha. But unlike the hall they had been in, it had fallen into ruin. The ceiling had holes in it, through which sunlight streamed. Vines, moss, and mold had taken root into the walls. Some of the columns lining the room were broken, and debris lay everywhere. And in the center was what they had been looking for. Naruto and Link recognized it instantly. A golden orb, which swirled with images of other worlds and realms.

"This is it." Link said, as he stepped forward. But as he set a foot down, a seal suddenly popped up on the ground. IT glowed a dark purple, before enveloping the entire group in an energy bubble. Naruto threw himself at the bubble, only to get sent flying back with a shock.

"It's always good, to cover your tracks." Ganondorf said, as he appeared from behind a column. "Even if my minions were strong, Link has proved very resourceful. So I decided to leave behind a little.... "insurance". It's a good thing I did."

The Gerudo thief approached them. "Now, you will watch, as I travel back to the beginning of Hyrule, and claim what is rightfully mine!"

Link yelled, as he bashed a fist against the wall of the energy bubble. "Don't count on it! I'll stop you like I did before!"

Ganondorf smirked. "Brave words. But there is no way to escape this trap. No human can match my new found power!"

Arren snarled, as he started a jutsu, only to be stopped by Eflower's hand on his shoulder. "Don't waste your energy." Then she slowly walked forward. She hesitantly reached out, then placed a hand on the bubble wall. Her hand wnet through, soon followed by the rest of her. Ganondorf backed up in amazement.

"How? How did you do that?!"

Eflower slowly unfolded her wings. "I'm not human." Then she drew her sword, and leapt at him. Ganondorf quickly blocked her sword with a kunai hidden up the sleeve of the Tscuhikage's body. Eflower twisted to the side, and tried to kick Ganondorf.

(A/N: Okay, for the moment, Ganondorf is still in the Tsuchikage's body. Remember that.)

Ganondorf grabbed her foot with his free hand, and threw her to one side. Eflower slammed into a wall, and slumped to the floor. Getting to one knee, she gathered her energy, and unleashed a beam of angelic energy. Ganondorf gathered his dark magic around one of his fists, and slammed it into the ground, creating a wall of earth, reinforced by the dark magic. The angelic beam glanced off it. Ganondorf then sent the dark magic earth wall at Eflower. Eflower jumped to one side, but the wall managed to clip her legs, causing her to crash into the ground, as she cried out in pain.

In the bubble, Arren watched helplessly, as Ganondorf approached Eflower. The "Tscuhikage" began performing hand signs, creating several large wolves out of stone, which leapt at Eflower. She managed to regain her footing, and readied her sword. The first wolf leapt at her, and she dodged by twisting to one side, her sword cutting through it. Another lost it's head, before two more jumped at her. She managed to stab one through the head, but the other's "claws" left several scratches on her face. She hit it with a blast of angel energy, before taking out the last wolf, by jumping over it, and slashing it along it's back. But as she landed, Ganondorf appeared in front of her, a fist heading for her face. The fist smashed into her face, sending her crashing into a column. Ganondorf moved towards her, only to stop at the sound of Arren's voice.

"HEY! Why don't you try picking on someone your own size, you gutless, ass wiping, coward!"

"Your time will come. But not before her's." Ganondorf said, silently deciding to torture Arren as much as possible.

"C'mon E! You can do it!" Arren yelled, as Eflower struggled back to her feet. Ganondorf laughed.

"Don't be absurd. This pathetic girl can't do anything, but provide me with some enjoyment before I kill all of you."

"You're wrong! She's far stronger than you think, and I know she'll kick your ass!" Arren yelled. Eflower slowly stood back on her feet, and readied her sword for the next attack.

I won't lose. I can't. Everyone is depending on me.

Ganondorf merely smirked, before using the Tscuhikage's powers to summon a sword of stone, and charged at her, swinging at her head. Eflower dodged to the side, knocking the sword away with her own. The two traded sword attacks for several minutes, Eflower using her speed and skill against Ganondorf's strength, and his own obvious skill. Suddenly, Ganondorf dispelled the sword, as he leapt back, and ran through a series of hand signs.

"Earth Style, Rhino Quake!" He yelled, before smashing a fist into the ground. It caused a huge earthquake, like a giant rhino had smashed itself against the ground. The ground split, heading towards Eflower. Eflower jumped over the rip in the earth, leaving her open to what happened next. A barrage of boulders flew through the air towards her, sent by Ganondorf. She managed to dodge them, only to miss the kunai in the middle of the boulders, which nailed her in the chest. A slow, fatal wound.

She hit the ground, as Arren just stared in disbelief. Ganondorf slowly approached her. "You see? You were weak. You never had a chance of defeating me, or saving your friends. Now, you will die. But don't worry. Your friends will be there to greet you." He turned to the others, deciding on finishing them first.

I've failed. All Eflower could see was darkness, and all she could here were her own thoughts. Is this it? Is this the end? Arren.... Onbin..... Haiya..... Naruto .....Hinata..... Link ..... their going to die because I failed. Konoha.... all of it will be destroyed. Orochimaru was right. I am weak.... The Outcast's thoughts faded into silence as she awaited her end. But then, a voice in her said one final word.

No. The power behind this one thought was more than even Ganondorf could imagine, for he never felt the will to protect others. No, I will not let them fall! Failure is not an option! I can't fail! I don't care what happens to me! He has to be stopped! I can't fail!

"Then you shall not." A new voice spoke, one with infinite power, wisdom, and mercy. And with that voice, a surge of power poured through Eflower. Power she had not felt in a long time. The power of a four winged angel.

Laughing, the 'Tscuhikage' advanced at the trapped team. "Now DIE!" He roared, as he summoned a giant sword made of stone. With an evil grin, he lifted it into the air. He prepared to bring the sword down on Hinata, only to be knocked forward by a blast of light. Since Ganondorf was inhabiting what might be considered a dead body, he went through the barrier, only to get knocked back out with several of his chakra points sealed shut. Shimmering in anger, Ganondorf, the king of the Gerudo thieves turned to see what had knocked him forward, only to physically balk at the sight of the glowing healer. On her back, her pair of brown wings had extended, along with four snow white wings.

"Prepare to face a true champion of light, gifted my Kami himself." She said, in a voice that echoed with her new found power.

Ganondorf roared as he charged at Eflower. "It doesn't matter what you are! I will destroy you!"

Suddenly, a giant lizard tail swept from out of nowhere, and smashed into Ganondorf's gut, sending him crashing into a wall. The Dark Wizard Thief looked up, his eyes widening. Crouched protectively behind Eflower was a huge, golden scaled dragon. From snout to tail, the dragon had to be almost forty feet. It's wings, when extended, would have been almost it's own body length. It let out a snarl, a smoke rolled out from in between it's fangs. Naruto and Arren both knew who it was in an instant.

"Ryuuwaizu." Naruto whispered.

"The Wise Dragon." Arren explained to Hinata and Link. "He is the leader of the dragon tribes."

Ganondorf snarled in anger. "So, you need a dragon to fight me?!"

The dragon snorted, sending flames racing towards the Demon Thief, forcing him to dive out of the way.

"I am not here to fight you, mortal. I am here to give a gift to Eflower Angelius. Her inner strength summoned Kami himself, and for that, she has earned our blessings." The great golden dragon lowered it's head, till it's eyes were level with the angel's.

"Our gift to you." Ryuuwaizu said, before he touched his snout gently against the healer's sword. When he did so, an orange spark ran up the blade. "There are not many weapons that equal Ryuushikon."

After saying these words, the wise dragon left, leaving Eflower to appreciate her new sword. It was orange, the blade seeming to appear from the mouth of a gaping dragon that was the hilt guard. She slowly held it up, examining the light playing off it, before looking at Ganondorf.

Ganondorf glared at her, as he summoned a new earth blade, his magic opening the closed chakra points on his system. "Do not believe that your fancy sword will best me, girl. I know far more than you do." With that, he lunged at Eflower, the sword hardening into diamond.

Eflower swung Ryuushikon down, the sword obliterating the diamond blade. She punched Ganondorf in the face, followed by a blast of angel energy. Ganondorf was blasted into a wall, where he fell down onto one knee. He looked up, the Tscuhikage's eyes flashing golden, as he ripped a boulder form the ground, and threw it at her, followed by a blast of dark magic. Eflower sliced the boulder in two, and countered the dark magic with her angelic energy.

Ganondorf rose to his feet, his face unreadable. "I underestimated you. But now, you will face the full strength of my power, and this bodies power."

Eflower raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Should I be scared? You haven't seen the full power of an angel."

Ganondorf roared, as he slammed his fist into the ground, causing a wave of dark magic enhanced rock to ripple towards Eflower. Eflower jumped over the wave of earth, only to be surprised by a second wave of dark energy sent at her. Eflower wrapped her self in her six wings, and the dark energy deflected off of them. Ganondorf growled, as he concentrated all his dark aura around his "body". He smirked as he looked up at her.

"You want to know how I easily beat you before? The answer is simple. This aura I have slows down every single thing you have. The more magic I pour into it, the more it slows you down!" And with those words, he leapt at her, moving at increased speed. And yet, Eflower easily dodged to one side, blasting Ganondorf in the back. As he crashed into the ground, Eflower shook her head.

"That won't work against me. You're aura is supposed to oppress my senses, slow my mind and reactions. But my the energy flowing through me cancels it out. You are outclassed, as long as you remain in that body."

Ganondorf turned, fury on his face. "I am never out classed!" He roared, as a giant dragon of dark energy rose off him. It glared at Eflower, before blasting at her, roaring again.

Eflower summoned a dragon of her own, made of pure white angel energy. Her dragon roared, and clashed with the dark one, destroying both.

"Your time in that body has long since ended, Ganondorf. THIS ENDS NOW!" All angels have the power to send one in pain to death's embrace. Now Eflower was using it to destroy the Tscuhikage's body, shattering his final mortal bond. The battle field was enveloped in white light and smoke, as the attack struck.

Sorry about the wait, but here it is. Next chapter, will good or evil triumph? You'll have to wait and see.

AP: Don't worry, we'll do everything we can to make the final battle to come epic.

LR: Got that right.
