Chapter 7: Another Piece Found
It is morning and everyone is awake. Kagome's face look all tired, as she didn't get a good sleep last night, due to the entire Smashers' snoring...
After having breakfast, everyone went to do whatever he or she wants to. Ness went to teach the kids how to play baseball.
Link went to the stable and looks at the horses. Then he asks the horses' owner, "Is the horse for rental?"
"Yes," the owner replies. "Which one do you want to ride?"
Link examines the horses for a while, and then he points out to a black one. "That's the one I want."
"Are you sure?" the owner asks him. "That's the wildest horse here and nobody has manage to ride on it yet!"
"I have tamed the wildest of the wildest before, so I can do the same to that horse too."
Link pays the owner and approaches the horse. Link pats the horse and says, "Now keep clam, fella. I won't hurt you, so just let me ride you." Link climbs up the horse and it immediately shakes him off. Link tries to get up again, but the horse runs off.
"I thought you said you can tame it," someone from behind the fence shouts out to him. "Of course I can!" Link calls back to him.
Link runs to the horse, thinking of jumping onto its back, but the horse kicks him away when he approaches. Enraged, Link runs to the horse while screaming like a beast, thus making the horse run off in fear. Everyone laughed at the sight of a man in green chasing a frightened horse.
Fox is outside the house, playing games on his cell phone. Mario come and sits next to him and says, "Eef only da well Kagome sez can take uz back-a to our time, then we don't-a need-a machine anymore."
"Right," says Fox. "She says the well only warps to 1997, but we live in 2011. That's still 14 years from our time."
"Eez there anyway to alter eet?"
"It's not possible. That well is supernatural, and things like that can't be altered.
Ness is playing baseball with the kids, who are now good at it. It is Shippo's turn at the bat. The pitcher throws the ball at him and Shippo gives a big swing. His teams cheer when they see the ball fly high into the sky, but then there was silence. The ball has flew into the horizon, never to be seen...
"I didn't know I'm that strong..." says Shippo.
"You're good!" Ness tells him. "But don't worry, let's find the ball together."
Ness and Shippo runs toward the direction the ball flew. "Is it safe for them to go alone?" one of the kids says.
Ness and Shippo wanders around the forest, looking for the ball. "We'll never find the ball in a vast forest like this," says Shippo.
"Right... Why did we even come in the first place...?" says Ness.
"Let's turn back to the village and find help first."
"Yeah, let's go back."
Just as they're about to turn back, Shippo heard someone talking. "Did you hear what I hear?"
"Of course." Ness tells him.
They look around for a moment and see two people in the forest. "What have you discovered, Kagura?" the one in baboon suit asks the woman.
"It's Naraku..." Shippo whispers to Ness.
"The one in baboon suit?" Ness says quietly. "What kind of a person would wear a baboon suit? Perhaps he's a big fan of that dumb Baboon from I.M. Weasel."
Kagura, the wind demon, takes out a long flat thing and shows it to Naraku, "I discovered this. It's something we have never seen before. Perhaps it has powers in it."
"It's the controller we need for the Teleport Machine!" says Ness.
"Shhh... Not to loud," Shippo tells him.
Naraku examines the controller for a while, and then says, "I don't see anything special with this thing. I'm not interested in strange new things, but things with mysterious powers. This strange thing has nothing in it."
"Sorry, master," Kagura apologizes.
"And I would like to tell you something," Naraku continues. "I have discovered a monster from the past that have survived until now. It is very powerful and I decided to use it for my plans. The problem is... It is very fierce and I couldn't tame it."
"He must be talking about Baragon," Shippo tells Ness.
"So recently, I'm studying the art of controlling people's mind. If mastered, I'll be able to control the monster."
Immediately, Ness stands up and says, "I won't let you!"
"What do you want?" Kagura asks him.
"You will not control the monster for your evil deeds! Baboon man!"
"You have no manners, kid." Naraku says. "I do not like people interfering with my business. Now leave before something bad happens!"
Without a word, Ness blasts with PK Flash, sending the two of them onto the ground.
"You brat! You dare attack us!" shouts Kagura angrily.
"You're not bad for a kid," Naraku says. "I sense great powers in you. It would be great if you work for me."
"I'll never join you!" Ness shouts back.
"I know you wouldn't join me. Now I'm anxious to learn mind controlling."
"Just give us that flat thing the woman found," Ness tells him. "I'll leave quietly with my mouth shut if you do."
"You want this piece of junk? Why don't you mention this earlier?" says Naraku, and then he hands over the controller to Ness.
Shippo tells Ness, "Let's get out of here! You can't defeat him like this!"
When Naraku sees Shippo, he says, "So you know Inuyasha, don't you? Any friends of that half-demon are my enemy!"
"Wanna fight?"
"Get him, Kagura!" Naraku orders her.
"Yes, master," Kagura says as she steps forward and blows them with a strong gust of wind, sending Ness and Shippo into the distance.
"I mean to kill them, not sent them flying!" says Naraku angrily.
"Sorry..."
At the stable, Link finally got onto the horse without problem. Everyone was amazed that he could tame a wild horse. Suddenly, Ness and Shippo falls from the sky and crashes into the horse.
"What was that for?!" Link says angrily.
"We fell from the sky," says Ness. "Shouldn't you be wondering about that?"
"Yeah... Why did you fall from the sky?"
"We'll have to tell the others first."
After a while, the other Smashers came to hear Ness's tale, and they were glad that another machine piece was found.
"It appears that Naraku is trying to gain control of Baragon, the monster that attacked yesterday." Ness tells everyone.
"If we let him control a monster like this," Miroku says. "Then he can win easily this time."
"I don't care if that monster is strong or not!" Inuyasha says. "I will destroy the monster and that moron Naraku!"
"So now our goal is to make sure Naraku doesn't learn any mind controlling spells, right?" asks Punk.
"True," Kaeda tells him. "Mind control is an evil thing. The victim will follow whatever his master says. But good thing it is a hard skill to master."
"What say we go straight to Naraku's fortress and destroy him?" Ganondorf points out.
"But we don't exactly know where he lives," Kagome tells him.
Everyone was silent for a while, thinking of a plan. Then Pix says, "Maybe we can use a pointer. You know, those little devices that scientists attach onto animals to know where they are going. We can stick one onto Naraku so we can track him down."
"That's a good idea," says Punk. "But where do we get one?"
"Uh..."
"I'll have to contact Master Hand on this," Fox says. "Perhaps he can help."

Please, I need someone to answer my question, which is about Kikyo, in the previous chapter. I plan to put her into the story later, so please answer fast.
