Chapter 15: Monster Attack

Naraku watches the village from a nearby cliff. "I will send my monsters to destroy that
village. Inuyasha surely can't defeat these mighty beasts."

"And when I come face to face with him, I'm going to crush him!" says a voice out of nowhere. Naraku turns around and sees Ganondorf and Link walking by. "Right, I'm going to slice him with my Master Sword!" says Link. "They must be Inuyasha's companions," Naraku thought to himself.

Ganondorf sees Naraku, who is in his usual baboon suit, and says, "Look! A baboon!"

"So what's about a baboon?" asks Link.

"I have never seen one so fat!"

"So what, it probably needs to go on diet!"

"I have a feeling that this baboon is evil..."

"Nah, you're just superstitious. Let's get back to the village." So Link and Ganondorf goes toward the village. "Perhaps they merely heard my name," Naraku thought.

Then the ground burst open and Baragon crawls out. "Now you shall go to that village and destroy everything!" Naraku orders Baragon. With a loud roar, Baragon digs into the ground again.

Back in the village, Master Hand is talking to everyone through the hologram device. "I wasn't able to detect Naraku's location, but I did find out that his hideout is somewhere east."

"Never mind, at least we know where to go," Fox says.

"Can we go now?" Roy asks. "I can't wait to get the jewel back from him so we can return home."

"Let's see if everyone is ready first," Fox tells him. Turning to Inuyasha, he asks, "You're going too, right?"

"Of course I'm coming!" he replies. "I have a score to settle with Naraku!"

Suddenly, there are screaming heard outside. "What now?" asks Punk. He walks outside, only to get trampled by running crowds. The others come out to see Baragon rampaging through the village. "It's Baragon again!" exclaims Roy.

Baragon breathes fire in every direction and tears down all the huts. "Everyone evacuate the village at once!" Kaede calls out.

Roy turns to Lilina and tells her to run with the villagers. "No!" she replies. "I will never leave you!"

"Go!" Roy insists. "This enemy is too dangerous for you!"

"I am not a weakling! I can defeat anyone myself!"

"Just go! I don't want you to get into dangerous business!"

"I'll never leave you!"

"GO BEFORE I LOSE MY TEMPER!!!!!"

Scared, Lilina turns around to run off, but Roy stops her and says, "In case I don't come back..." He pauses and gives her a quick small kiss. "Please come back..." says Lilina before she runs off.

Inuyasha, Sango, Ganondorf, Roy, Link, Mario, Fox, and Punk (the others have ran also) stay behind to fight Baragon. Ganondorf jumps toward Baragon and grabs his head. Electricity flows from Ganondorf's hand and into Baragon, zapping it. Then with a small explosion, Baragon flies backward and slams onto the ground. "Ha!" laughs Ganondorf. "Dark Dive can throw anything out of my sight!"

Baragon gets back up and breathes fire at Ganondorf, but Link quickly jumps in front of Ganondorf and uses his own fireproof Hylian Shield to block the fire. "Thanks, Link!" Ganondorf thanks him. "You're being nice to me even though I'm a villain before Master Hand brought us together!"

"Put the past behind, for now we're partners," Link tells him.

Baragon charges at them, but Ganondorf punches it in the face using Warlock Punch, pushing it back again. Sango quickly uses this chance to throw her boomerang. The boomerang flies toward Baragon and hits it square in the face, and then the boomerang flies back to her.

Kirara runs to Baragon and attacks it. Baragon stands up on its hind legs, grabs Kirara, and throws him against the ground.

"He's walking on two!" exclaims Mario. "This can be taken care of," says Sango. She throws her boomerang at Baragon, but Baragon grabs the boomerang and breaks it in half. "Yeah right..." says Mario.

As Baragon walks towards them, Inuyasha charges and starts slashing it madly, causing Baragon to fall backwards onto the ground. Inuyasha jumps into the air with his Tetsusaiga pointing down, trying to pierce through Baragon's underside, but the monster quickly rolls to the side just before it hits. Inuyasha hits the ground and his sword is stuck in the ground. Baragon raises his claw and smashes down onto him.

"Inuyasha!" cries out the others. With all his might, Inuyasha lifts up Baragon's claw from under and pushes it away. "Wind Scar!" he shouts as he uses Tetsusaiga to fire a wind-like razor at Baragon. The shot strikes Baragon hard, sending it into the sky and crashing back down onto the ground.

At this moment, Punk thought of something, "I just remember! The Teleport Machine!"

"Don't worry," Fox calms him. "It's safe and sound."

"But we can't just leave it there, it might be destroyed!"

"Right," says Link. "If it's destroyed, then we can't return. We must not fight here for we might accidentally destroy it."

"What do we do then?" asks Roy.

"We can try to lure Baragon out of this area," Sango tells them.

"Good idea," Fox agrees. Fox runs in front of Baragon and taunts, "Come get me, ugly!" He shoots a beam at Baragon's face, making it angry. Baragon runs toward Fox. Fox, with his quick speed, races for the woods with Baragon chasing behind him. "Come on!" Fox taunts again as he turns around to shoot more beams at Baragon.

"That fooled him," says Inuyasha. "But I want to destroy him!"

"Then let's follow!" says Link. They all run after in the same direction Fox went. Ganondorf notices someone standing on top of a cliff, and without telling the others, he decides to go inspect it by himself.

Meanwhile, the escaped ones are now in an open field. "Phew..." pants Pork. "Finally I can rest a bit after all those running..."

"I wonder if Sango is safe," wonders Miroku. "You like her, don't you?" asks Lilina. Miroku whispers into her ear, "Don't tell her..."

"Damn!" curses Ness. "I forgot my backpack at the village! My GBA SP is inside! I must go back and find it!"

"Don't go!" Kaede warns him. "It's dangerous back there at this moment!"

"I can protect myself," Ness tells her. "My psychic powers are not to be underestimated." Ness runs toward the direction of the village.

"I'll go after him!" says Lilina, and then she runs to catch up with Ness.

Naraku is standing on the cliff, looking at the demolished village. "They think luring Baragon out of the village will work? They'll never destroy him!"

"I knew there was something with this baboon all along!" says a voice.

Naraku turns around and sees Ganondorf. "You're that man from earlier!" he says. "Yes," says Ganondorf. "And I believe you are Naraku, the most hated person around here." Taking out his sword, Ganondorf says, "I will destroy you to and end your evil plans."

"Have you forgotten the fact that you were once evil?" Naraku asks him. "How did you know?" Ganondorf asks in surprise.

"I can see into your mind," Naraku tells him. "You are once an evil king who threatened the world."

"That was before, but know it is different. Being evil got me into terrible consequences, and I do not wish to meet the same fate again."

"They say a person's heart will always change back to how it was," says Naraku as he takes out a glowing jewel. "It's the Jewel of Power!" gasps Ganondorf.

"Yes. I have discovered the usefulness of this jewel. I have made it possess the power of evil. As you can see, Baragon has been possessed by this jewel's evil powers, so he is now my servant."

"You vile villain!" growls Ganondorf. "I will kill you!" Ganondorf raises his sword and runs toward Naraku to slice him, but Naraku disappears! "What?!" gasps Ganondorf. Suddenly, Naraku reappears behind Ganondorf. He holds up the jewel and it shoots a beam at Ganondorf. Ganondorf screams when the beam hits him and then he collapse to the ground. After a while, he gets back up again.

Naraku asks him, "Who are you and what is your goal now?"

Ganondorf answers evilly, "I am the king of evil and darkness and my goal is to rule the entire world!"

"Good, so let us work together and conquer the world!"
