Chapter 18: The Big Fight

Ness, Pix, and Pork are traveling through a dark wasteland. "This place sure is dead," says Ness. "But I don't think anything scary will appear."

They came across a pool of water with steams coming out. Pix and Pork knew at once this is hot water, their only hope of changing back, so they quickly jump into the hot pool. They two pop back out of water, back in their normal form. "Yeah!" cries Pix happily. "We're back!"

Suddenly, he feels someone dragging him into the water. "Somebody's pulling me down!" screams Pix. "Help!!!" Pork also felt someone pulling him down. "Me too!!!!"

Ness reaches out a long stick and says, "Quick! Grab this!" The two Pirates quickly grab the sticks and Ness tries to pull them up, but he isn't strong enough. Slowly, the two Pirates were being dragged into the pool. "This won't do!" cries Pix. "The force is too strong!"

Ness has to think of something fast. He came to the thought that water conducts electricity, so he uses PK Thunder to zap the water. Pix and Pork were badly electrocuted in the water and they shot out of the pool, onto dry land. "Well," says Ness. "That did the trick."

Suddenly, a ghost rises out of the water and says in a spooky tone, "I am the spirit of the dead loafer who drowned in this pool of water."

"Loafer?" asks Pork. "You mean you're lazy?"

"Yes," replies the ghost. "I once was a lazy dude who decided to go jogging, but I fell into this pool and drowned because I couldn't swim."

"Why are you pulling us down?" asks Pix.

"Because I'm so lonely down here and I want someone to accompany me."

"Why don't you just leave this pool and wander around?" asks Ness.

"Because the law requires that all spirits to remain in where their body died."

"What law?" Ness asks, again.

"I don't know what law too."

"Let's not talk to him anymore," insists Pix. "Let's just leave now." So the three of them began to leave. The ghost calls out to them, "If you find anyone who doesn't want to live anymore, tell him to come here!"

Fox, Pichu, and Sesshomaru's group are walking through this area. "I'm scared…" says Rin. "Don't worry," Sesshomaru tells her. "I will protect you and make sure no harm comes to you."

"This place is perfect for making ghost movies!" says Pichu.

Meanwhile, Inuyasha's group is on the other side, heading towards the castle. "Yes, we're at Naraku's hideout," says Inuyasha. "I can smell his scent."

"Really?" asks Mario. "How duz he smells like-a?"

"You don't want to know."

"GOO GAH!!!!! HEE HAW!!!!!" bursts out Punk. "What do you want?" Link asks him. "You should learn how to speak our language instead of mindless monkey chatters."

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWW HAAAWWWWWW!!!!!" screams Punk even louder while pointing to a pool of steaming water. "He means he found a pool of hot water," explains Sango. "Why don't you go ahead and jump in?"

Punk wastes no time in dipping into the hot water. He rises back to the surface and cries out loud, "I'm back!!!!" But then he feels someone dragging him down. "Hey! I'm being pulled down with a strong force!"

The others grab his pincers and tries to pull him back up, but the force pulling him is too strong. Link pulls out a bomb from his magical pocket that can store anything and throws it into the pool. The pool explodes and everyone is blasted aside and Punk flew onto dry land.

"Phew… We rescued you," says Link. They look back at the pool and see nothing but a big dry hole and a ghost there. "You destroyed my home!" cries the ghost. "You'll pay!!!!" And the ghost floats off crying. "We really hurt him, didn't we?" says Sango, but Punk just laughs, "That's what he deserves!"

Kagome, Miroku, and Shippo made it into the castle safely. "Now that we're in here," says Shippo. "What can we do?"

"We'll find Naraku and put an end to him!" says Miroku.

"But we can't defeat by ourselves," Shippo tells him. "You know he's really strong."

Suddenly, they saw some figures approaching. The figures seem to have spot them and are running towards them. "We're being spotted!" cries Shippo. "I'll get them!" He throws out a foxfire to attack the 'enemies'. The fire hits one of the figures and it starts running around with a burning head. "I'll go finish him!" says Miroku. He charges forward and uses his staff to whack the lights out of the 'enemy'. It wasn't until 6 whacks did he notice that he was beating up Ness, who caught fire from the foxfire. "Sorry…" apologizes Miroku.

"I didn't expect to see you here!" says Pix in surprise. "Well, we didn't expect to see you here too!" says Kagome.

Then more figures appear on the far end. "They can be enemies!" cries Shippo. "I'll get them!" Kagome stops him and says, "Let's look clearer before attacking!"

"There's another group of figures approaching on the other end!" says Pork while pointing to that direction. "We're being surrounded!" cries Shippo.

On one end is Fox's group and on the other end is Inuyasha's group. "I think I can see someone familiar over there," says Fox. "Hey! I see familiar figures!" says Link. The two groups kept moving until they met Kagome and the others. And so, everyone is reunited once again.

Upon seeing Fox, Link bursts out, "YOU'RE STILL ALIVE!!!!!!"

"Of course I'm still alive!" says Fox. Link runs to Fox and hits him over the head. "YOU WERE LYING!!!!!! YOU MADE ME THINK YOU DIED!!!! NOW I KNOW I HAVE BEEN MOURNING OVER YOU FOR NO REASON!!!!!!" screams Link at the top of his voice. The others beat up Link in order to calm him down. "It's glad to see you still alive," says Roy. "We knew you couldn't die so easily."

"And who are those people with you?" asks Pix. Sesshomaru sees Inuyasha and says, "We have meet again, brother."

"Humph! I never want to meet you," says Inuyasha while turning his head away.

"For the last time, hand over the Tetsaiga!" says Sesshomaru. "Try and get it!" replies Inuyasha. Both of them draw out their weapons and gets into fighting stance. Rin gets in between them and says to Sesshomaru, "Please don't hurt Fox's friend! Fox helped me, so we should respect him and his friends too!"

Suddenly, they all hear a loud laugh coming from above. They all look up and see Naraku and Ganondorf standing on an elevated land. "So you all came!" says Naraku. "I was just expecting you all to come too!" Ganondorf laughs out, "Ha! I'm going to enjoy this 'exercise'!"

Roy looks at him and says, "Hey! What's Ganondorf doing with him?!"

"So he is still evil after all!" says Link. "You lied to us all along!"

"You all are fools!" says Naraku. "He is now under my control!" He pulls out a jewel and says, "It's all thanks to this!"

"That's the Jewel of Powers!" exclaims Punk. "He must've used it to turn Ganondorf against us!"

"This is simple," says Inuyasha. "We just have to get the jewel from him and all can be solved."

"But no one can get it so easily!" says Naraku. A strong gust of wind whips up and Rodan lands in front of everyone. Black smokes fill the place and Hedorah lands from his flight. Kumonga walks into the place and Baragon digs out from the ground. "These monsters are also under my control!" says Naraku. "There is no way you can get through them!"

"Baragon is still alive?!" gasps Link. "He should be dead by now!"

"These monsters are not that easy to defeat!"

Ganondorf jumps to the front of them and says, "I will destroy you all!"

"Don't kill him," Punk tells everyone. "He is under control. If we are able to get the jewel, then we can change him back."

Ganondorf raises his sword and charges at everyone. Link quickly pulls out his own sword and fights Ganondorf. "You all go get the jewel!" Link shouts. "I'll keep Ganondorf off!"

Inuyasha turns to Sesshomaru and says, "I hate to do this, but we must cooperate with each other at the moment."

"Then let it be," says Sesshomaru. "Let us help each other… but only now."

Mario starts jumping up to where Naraku is standing. Ganondorf sees Mario going up and he fires a black energy ball at him. Mario falls to the ground when he got shot. "Ouch!" cries Mario. "That-a hurts! But good-a thing I'm still alive!"

Sesshomaru steps up to Rodan and says, "I have a score to settle with you. This is for taking Rin away from me!" Then Sesshomaru begins to change form, starting to get bigger.

"What's happening to him?" asks Ness. "He is changing into his true form," Jaken explains. "Master Sesshomaru is a powerful demon. The form you saw before is what he stays in when not doing serious battles." Sesshomaru has done transforming, he had transformed into a great big monstrous dog.

"Cool!" exclaims Ness. "I wish I can change form too!"

Sesshomaru pounces at Rodan's chest and bites him. Rodan shakes him off, flies up into the sky, and starts flying around the area, whipping up a powerful wind. Everyone is getting blown around, but they all quickly held onto Pork to prevent getting blown. "Being overweight is good sometimes," Pork says to himself.

Naraku is holding his position, trying not to get blown off. "Incredible…" he says. "I never knew about this monster's power. While he is saying this, Pichu approaches from behind, trying to get the jewel. Just when he is about to get it, Kagura appears and blows Pichu away with a strong wind. "Leave now, rat!" she says. "You will never get to master Naraku without passing through me!"

"Oh, but I can!" says Pichu. He lets out a powerful thunderbolt attack at Kagura, knocking her out of sense. Pichu proceeds to electrify Naraku, but Naraku quickly teleports away before the thunderbolt hits him. Naraku appears behind Pichu and fires a beam from the jewel at him. Pichu's eyes turn red and he says, "I am Pichu the menace! I will terrorize everyone!"

Kagome watches from below. "Oh no! Pichu is being possessed also!"

Rodan continues to fly in circles around the arena, whipping up strong winds. Inuyasha can't stand it any longer, so he jumps towards Rodan and slashes him with Tetsaiga. Though the sword is small to Rodan, it is powerful enough to knock the giant monsters onto the ground, and thus stopping the winds. Sesshomaru jumps onto Rodan and bites him in the neck. Rodan shakes his head and shakes off Sesshomaru. Rodan gets back up and starts blasting with Uranium Heat Beam at him. Sesshomaru is very quick and dodges the beam easily. He pounces at Rodan again and slams him hard, knocking the monster onto the floor.

Inuyasha decides to use Tetsaiga to give Rodan the final blow. He jumps at Rodan, but was immediately shot down by Kumonga. "Darn that spider!" curses Inuyasha while trying to free himself from the sticky web.

Roy heard someone shouting, "Attack!" He turns around and sees Pichu falling towards him. Pichu latches onto Roy and crawls under his shirt and tickles him. "Hey! That tic… hahahahaha..!! Tickles!!!" cries Roy between laughs.

Baragon breathes a stream of fire at Roy. Roy was able to dodge the fire, but his cape caught fire. Roy is then running around laughing with a blazing cape on his back.

Naraku is watching everything from atop. "Things are going smoothly," he says to himself. "Hey you!" shouts a voice. Naraku turns around and sees Punk, Fox, and Miroku facing him. "Hand over the jewel or prepare for some beating!" says Punk. "That's if you can even touch me!" says Naraku.

"I will use the secret technique Double Team!" says Punk, and then he zooms toward Naraku, running around him in circles. As he runs around Naraku, several illusions of Punk appear. It seems as if lots of Punks are running around him!

Naraku desperately looks around in confusion. Then all the 'Punks' fire laser beams at Naraku, but Naraku jumps upward and avoids the shot. When he jumped up, he was immediately rammed down by Fox's Fire Fox attack. Naraku falls to the floor and drops the jewel. Fox quickly reaches out to get the jewel, but another hand quickly snatched the jewel before he does. "What's this little girl doing here?" asks Fox. "Why are you taking the jewel?"

"I am Kanna," replies the girl in white. "I am a creation of master Naraku." As she talks, her face shows absolutely no emotions at all. "Now be a good girl and return the jewel," says Fox while pointing his gun at her. Kanna shows her mirror to Fox and starts chanting some stuff. Immediately, Fox turns evil and turns to Punk to shoots him. Punk avoids the shot and says, "What's wrong with Fox?!"

"I have taken his spirit and replaced it with an evil one," explains Kanna. "His spirit is now inside this mirror."

Miroku sneaks up behind Kanna and raises his staff to hit her, but even before he strikes, Kanna quickly backs off.

Fox continues shooting at Punk, who is avoiding all the shots. Punk jumps at Fox and knocks him over the head, fainting him. Punk runs toward Kanna to hit her, but she moves out and avoids the hit. Unknown to her, Pork have climbed onto an area higher than her. "Big Belly Slam!!!!" yells Pork as he jumps down from above and falls on top of Kanna. Kanna gets squashed onto the ground and her mirror and the jewel both flings into the air.

While the mirror is in the air, Kagome shoots an arrow at it, destroying the mirror. Fox gets back up and says, "What's been happening to me?" wonders Fox. Miroku explains to him that Kanna had turned him evil, but Pork and Kagome rescued him.

The jewel falls toward the ground, but Ganondorf grabs it. Link quickly brings his sword down on Ganondorf, but instead of slicing him, he hits Ganondorf with the flat part of the blade. Ganondorf gets knocked to the ground and Link grabs the jewel.

Naraku shouts from above, "No!!! Don't do it!!!!"

"To late, baboon wannabe!" says Link. Then he commands the jewel, "Turn off the evil power!" The jewel flashes brightly, and then it fades. Ganondorf gets back up and says, "Uh? What am I doing here?"

Link explains to him all that happened. Ganondorf then turns to Naraku and says, "You have made me angry! I will destroy you for this!" But Naraku isn't listening. In fact, he looks scared. "No… This can't be happening…" he says softly.

Everyone's attentions were immediately turned to the four monsters. The monsters are also back in their normal state, or to be precise, their destructive state.

TO BE CONTINUED…

One last question… I know that Inuyasha can turn into his demon form, like when his eye turns red and he destroys everything in sight. But what does it take for him to change back? Can you tell me this?
