Chapter 5: In the Village

"Why don't we go outside and look around?" Ness insists. "We should go meet others so they won't make us for an alien."

"True," says Mario. "Let's-a a go and look-a around-a."

So the Smashers got up and left, except for Pork.

"I need a rest from the long walk," Pork tells Kaeda. "May I rest here for a moment? I can also help you make dinner."

"It would be great if you help me," says Kaeda.

"I'm a chef back in my world," Pork tells her. "Everyone goes wild eating my cooking!"

Outside, Punk sees Sango fixing her broken boomerang. "Need help fixing?" Punk asks her. "That would be great," replies Sango. "You sure can destroy this."

"I need some metals first," says Punk. "Do you have some scrap metal?"

Sango nods and left, soon she returned with some worn-out armor. "We don't need this anymore."

Punk examines the armors for a while. "This is the perfect one. Now we need fire." He gathers some wood and makes a fire by rubbing a stick against a bigger stick. He got a knife from nearby and starts clashing the armors with all his might, breaking them. When he got off some strips of metal from the armor, he puts it against the fire along with the boomerang. The metal starts to melt into liquid and drips onto the boomerang. When the liquid metal dried, it sticks the broken boomerang pieces together.

"Done!" says Punk. "Now metal power is added to it."

"Wow!" Sango exclaimed. "How did you do that?"

"These armors are made of a kind of metal that melts at high temperature. Back in my time, plumbers use these to stick pipes together. Go ask Mario to learn more about it."

"What's a plumber?"

"Someone who fixes pipe."

Ness, Pichu, and Shippo went to play with some kids, who are all playing ball. They kick the ball around happily, until a bigger kid kicks the ball too far into the sky.

"You kicked the ball too far!" a smaller kid cried. "Now we'll never get it back!"

Suddenly, the ball freezes in midair. All the kids watch with amazement as the ball levitates back to them. Then they turn to see Ness pointing to the ball and his finger seems to be sparkling. When the ball returns to the ground, all the kids gather around Ness and flood him with questions. "How'd you do that?!"

"It's my psychic powers," Ness explains. "I had it when I was born."

"Do you have other tricks?" the kids ask.

"Watch this," Ness tells the kids. "But stay back."

The kids move back a little as Ness creates a green spark in midair, then it explodes in a brilliant green firework. All the kids were amazed with the wonderful sight.

"Wow!!!! We want to see more!" the kids demand with joy.

Ness points to the kids, then they all levitate into the air. "We're flying!" the kids exclaim with joy. Then Ness plays an invisible Ferris wheel with the kids, moving them in a clockwise pattern.

Pichu is quite jealous that Ness is getting all the attention, so he shouts the kids, "Hey watch me!" Pichu cries out and blasts a huge bolt of electricity into the air. Then some roasted birds fell to the ground. "Cool, right?" asks Pichu.

"Amazing!" the kids exclaimed. "You can cook for us!"

"Hehe..."

Link and Kagome were at the shooting range, seeing who is a better archer. Mario threw some wooden plates into the sky and Kagome shot down all of them but one. When it is Link's turn, he did not miss any of them.

"Looks like I'm better," says Link.

"You're right," says Kagome. "I should practice more."

"I'll teach you how to shoot more accurately."

At this moment, Fox's phone rings and he answers it, "Hello?"

"Fox! It's me, Master Hand!"

"What is it?"

"I found out the location of the microchip!"

"Where is it?"

"It's in the very village you're in right now!"

"How are you going to find it? I mean... the microchip is tiny!"

"At least it's bigger than a human's nail. The chip is shiny, so you should spot it easily."

Roy and Lilina are walking through the village when they spot two elderly man playing shogi (a chess-like game). Roy studies their board carefully and tells one of the men, "Try moving this piece down three squares and right two squares. You should have an easy win."

"Really?" the man wonders, and then he moves the piece to where Roy tells him. The man's opponent moves his piece and says, "Ha! You lose!"

The man turns to Roy and says quite angrily, "You made me lose!"

"Sorry..." apologizes Roy, and then he quickly leaves. Lilina catches up with him and says, "You're not an expert in board games. I mean... You never won a chess match against Marth. You shouldn't try to teach people."

Ganondorf saw two strong men arm wrestling and the muscular one won. Then that man stands up and boasts, "I'm the strongest arm wrestler! If you think you're stronger, than challenge me!"

Ganondorf stands up to him. "I will!"

"So you want to challenge me, black dude. Very well! If you win, I'll give you this shiny piece of square I found."

Ganondorf immediately knew that this shiny thing must be a microchip, perhaps the one for the Teleport Machine. "I'm going to make you lose!" he says to the man.

"You're looking tough. Let's do it!"

Ganondorf arm-wrestles the man. Both of them seem to be having a tie, but then the man starts to push Ganondorf's arm to the table. Ganondorf gathers his strength, and with a loud cry, he slams the man's arm onto the table. And so, Ganondorf wins!

"Ha! I won! Now give me the prize!" says Ganondorf.

"All right... You're strong... Here," says the man and then he drops the microchip onto Ganondorf's hand. Ganondorf jumps with joy and does a victory dance, with everyone watching him dancing. "That must be the folk dance from his own kind," one of them says.

Ganondorf runs to Fox and shows him the microchip.

"You found it!!!!!" exclaims Fox with joy and happiness.

As evening approaches, everyone comes back to Kaeda's house. Link and Kagome brought back some pigeons they shot down while practicing, hoping to make a meal out of it. Pork is busy working in the kitchen, preparing a meal that he claims will soothe everyone.

After a while, all is prepared. "Dinnertime!" yells Pork to everyone. They all gather around the foods, which is placed on the floor. "You're gonna like my homemade cooking!" says Pork. "Try it!"

Mario tries the food. "Good?" asks Pork. Immediately, Mario's eye turns to stars, and then he jumps up and screams with joy, running around the house like wild. "Is he all right?" asks Shippo.

Then Mario settles down on the floor. "Eet eez very good!!!!!" exclaims Mario. Everyone tries the food and they all like it. After a few minutes, all the plates are empty. "Can you cook again next time?" Pichu asks Pork. "Of course I will!" Pork replies.

"Do you know that Ridley isn't very happy that the fact Pork is a good cook?" Punk tells everyone.

"Nope," says Link. "Why?"

"Well... It's like this..."

FLASHBACK

Ridley walks into the dining room and commands the Pirates, "All right, get to work!"

"But we want to eat more of Pork's cooking!" says the Pirates. "We can't stop eating!"

"ENOUGH!!!!!" screams Ridley. "GET WORKING BEFORE I LOSE MY TEMPER!!!!!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"His cooking will bring laziness to everyone," says Punk.

"I'm sleepy..." says Ness, wearily.

"Me too..." says Pichu. "We played all day without resting."

"Sleeping early will make you healthy," Kaeda tells everyone. "Just pick out a spare space and lie down."

"I was hoping for cushion beds..." says Lilina.

Nevertheless, the Smashers just picked a place and fell asleep. Sango and Miroku went back to their huts. Roy and Lilina cuddled up together in a corner and leans at each other, asleep. Ness and Pichu took a vacant space and slept there, same with Mario. Kagome and Shippo fell asleep in a corner. Fox fells asleep sitting on a chair and Kaeda went into her own room to sleep. Inuyasha went outside to lie down on the roof, as there's no more space in the house left. The 3 Pirates lied down on a patch of grass next to the house, same with Link and Ganondorf.

Soon, everyone is asleep and sound. Then something lurks into the village...
