Chapter 53: Come Back With Us! The Battle Between Best Friends!
Sasuke stares at Naruto and the two Smashers. "You came all the way here just to get me back?"
"Of course we came to get you back!" replies Naruto. "You're my best friend, and I cannot let you go without my consent! Everybody wants you back, especially Sakura!"
"Well, why don't you go tell them that I don't want to go back?"
"How can you say that! We came all this way and you rejected us? We even sacrificed a few friends on the way here!"
"Well, kudos to you all. You just wasted your time."
"Celebrate with a wine?" says DK curiously. "Aren't you a bit underage for drinking wine?"
Sheik isn't pleased to hear what Sasuke said, and she shouts back, "Is that how you respond to someone who risked his or her to come rescue you! Why must you go to your enemy's side?"
"It's all because of power," replies Sasuke. "I'll do anything to get power."
"You don't have to go this far just to get power!"
"I do what I like, and nobody stops me!"
"Orochimaru won't really give you power!" Naruto shouts at him. "He only wants your body! He will kill you and shut you into darkness!"
"I don't care, as long as I can get power! Now get this into your head: Nothing, and nobody, can stop me from going to Orochimaru!" Having said this, Sasuke turns around to leave.
He sees a shadow in front of him growing bigger and bigger, and he turns around and looks up just in time to see Naruto dropping down on him. He pins Sasuke to the ground and punches him hard in the cheek, making a bit of blood drip down from the mouth. Sasuke simply stares at Naruto for a while, and then spits a drop of blood into his face.
Slowly, Sasuke gets back up, lifting up Naruto with only one hand! Naruto is shocked that he has such great strength. He punches Naruto in the stomach and sends him flying away from the top of the statue and towards the water below.
"Naruto!" Sheik pulls out the Snake Whip and swings it at Naruto. The whip extends very long and wraps around Naruto, and then pulls him up onto the statue.
"Thanks for the help, but this is my battle," says Naruto. "I will clear his mind!" He jumps to where Sasuke is again. "Snap out of it, Sasuke! Come back to your senses!"
"I have already snapped out of it," replies Sasuke. "I realized that staying in Leaf Village and hanging around with all your kiddy folks will do me no good. I must set off to look for power. That is what I should be doing in the first place."
Naruto is enraged to hear this. "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT! WHAT DO YOU TAKE THE LEAF NINJAS FOR!" He throws a punch at Sasuke, but he counters it by grabbing Naruto's arm and hurling him off the statue and onto dry ground next to the river. Then he hops down to Naruto and hits him with several punches and kicks.
Naruto escapes from his grasp and creates several clones of himself. They all charge at Sasuke, but he is able to take out the clones with advanced taijutsu. He charges at the real Naruto and punches into a rock. Next, he hops back up onto the statue and pulls out several thin strings and shoots them at Naruto, binding him onto the rock.
"Hey! What are you doing!" shouts Naruto.
Biting one end of the strings in his mouth, Sasuke performs some hand signs and ues Fireball Jutsu, which travels down the strings and towards Naruto.
"NOOOOOOOO!"
The fire hits Naruto and engulfs him, along with the rock.
Sasuke looks at the burning spot for a while, and then he turns around. He is immediately greeted by a large hairy hand that grips onto his face. "What!"
"I have no idea why you're not coming back and why you attacked your friend," says DK. "But since my reason here is to bring you back, then I WILL bring you back NO MATTER WHAT!"
Sasuke pulls DK's hand off his face and says, "I told you that nobody can stop me! You're wasting your efforts!"
"Then I'll drag you back by force!" DK throws a punch at Sasuke, but he misses. Sasuke hops back several steps and throws several kunai at him, but needles fly down from above and knock those kunai away.
Sheik drops down from above and says, "You're coming back with us, no matter how you want it."
"You do not understand what I have been through, and you want to get yourselves into this? What do you know?" Sasuke asks them.
"Yes, your brother killed your entire clan," replies Sheik. "But even still, you shouldn't ask your enemy for help."
"I don't care! As long as I can get power, I will get it no matter what! Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" He breathes out a large stream of fire at them, but they hop aside to avoid it.
"Bowser will be surprised to learn that he's not the only talking creature that can breathe fire!" says DK. Sheik and DK attack Sasuke with all they have, but Sasuke, being a talented ninja, is able to dodge them all.
Suddenly, Naruto jumps out of the burning and is about to take Sasuke by surprise from the back, but Sasuke already saw him coming and avoids it. "You're not dead?"
"I will not be killed by you!" says Naruto. "Are you out of your mind! Did you really intend to kill me?"
"As a matter of fact, yes."
"Why would you do that! Am I not your best friend?"
"Yes, it is true: You are my best friend. Because of this, I will kill you." Sasuke says this because of what Itachi once told him.
"If you want to kill me, then hate me, spite me. You will even have to kill your best friend, just like what I did."
"I will kill you, so I can have the power I want," continues Sasuke.
"What kind of a demented person taught you this! We will not let you kill your friend!" says Sheik angrily.
"I'll repeat this one last time: Nobody, and nothing, stops me from going my own way!" At this instant, Sasuke's eyes begin to turn purple.
"What's happening to his eye! This isn't the way Sharingan is!" says Naruto.
"So the Darkling that is possessing him has awaken," says Sheik. "We must use the Holy Weapons now, but we must make sure that we don't kill him."
"Of course we should chill him down from his anger. No way will I ever kill him!" says DK. He runs in front of Sasuke and swings the Giant Axe at him, but Sasuke avoids it by jumping into the air, and then he performs a flying kick. DK, however, counters the kick by grabbing his leg and hurls him away.
Sasuke lands on his feet after being hurled, but is immediately greeted by the Sheik's Snake Whip. He hops around swiftly to avoid the multiple whippings, and then Naruto jumps in from behind to hit him. "Snap back to your senses, Sasuke!"
Sasuke quickly turns around and grabs him, and throws him at Sheik. Just before he collides into her, DK jumps in and pushes Naruto away so he doesn't fly into her. "You stay here, okay?" DK tells him. "Your friend is possessed by a Darkling and there is no way you can do anything to him."
"But…"
"Yes, I'll kick his butt all right."
"You're the one who's going to get kicked!" says Sasuke. He puts his hands together and his finger begins to sparkle with blue electricity.
"It's Chidori! Watch out! It's a very dangerous move that can pierce through your skin!" warns Naruto.
When done charging, Sasuke points his finger forward and dashes at DK. DK quickly brings up the axe in front of him, using it as a shield. When Sasuke's sparkling finger hits the axe, it did not go through the tough steel axe. Sasuke pulls back his finger and grunts in pain. Imagine hitting a steel wall with your finger; you'll break your finger!
While he's trying to recover from the pain, Sheik wraps the whip around him and lifts him into the air. "Wha!"
"Sorry, but this had to be done!" says Sheik. She swings Sasuke around in air and slams him against the ground several times.
DK takes out his axe again and charges at Sasuke. He swings the axe at him, hitting him with the flat part of the axe rather than the blade.
CLANG!
Sasuke flies through the air and off the statue. "UWAAAAAA!" As he is falling, a large column of purple black-purple smoke comes out from his mouth.
"It's the Darkling!" says Sheik. "Quick! Now or never!" Sheik and DK jump towards the Darkling and hit it hard with the Holy Weapons. The Darkling lets out a scream and then disintegrates. Sasuke falls onto the ground below and passes out.
Naruto jumps down next to him and says, "Sasuke! Are you all right?"
"The Darkling has left him, and he's still alive, so he'll be all right," says Sheik.
"At least we can bring him back while he is down," says DK.
"But what about your friend who is taken away too?" asks Naruto.
"Oh! We forgot about Ganondorf!" says Sheik. "He's probably taken to Orochimaru's fortress already. We must go and get him back!"
Then a large shadow blots out the sunlight from above. They look up and see a star slowly coming down…
-
Ganondorf watches the vision of him in his pig monster Ganon form getting defeated by Link. Zelda uses a large laser beam to pin Ganon onto the ground, and then the 6 sages open up the portal to the Dark Realm. Ganon slowly gets sucks in. "Curse you, Zelda! Curse you, sages! And curse you too, Link! Someday, I will be back with more power than before, and then I will crush you and all your descendants!" After saying this, Ganon disappears into the Dark Realm.
The mysterious voice speaks to the real Ganondorf. "See? You were defeated miserably by Link and his friends. Don't you feel like taking revenge on him?"
"Yes, come to think of it, I did think of taking revenge on him before," says Ganondorf.
"Then now is your chance. Join the dark side and you will get the power you want! With this power, you can eliminate all your enemies!"
"Sure, I want to be strong, but someone once told me this: Revenge is a short term goal. What do you get for taking revenge? What will you do after you have revenged? Will you find happiness in it?"
"Nothing is happier than killing the person who once mistreated you. If you don't do it now, then he will come back to haunt you again."
"But I told you already. What happiness is there in taking revenge? I rather have power to do something more useful than killing people. If you are thinking of possessing me, then think twice!" Ganondorf reaches his hand to his back. "Because I have brought with me the…"

In the Sound Base…
"Why is it taking so long for them too come?" wonders Kabuto. "And why is it also taking long for Ganondorf to come out from the box?"
"It may take a while for a good person to adjust to the dark side," says Orochimaru. "But it shouldn't take too long now."
Suddenly, they hear an explosion.
"What was that?"
A wounded ninja comes running into the room and reports, "Master! We are under attacked!"
"Who can it be?" Orochimaru and Kabuto get up and walk into the next room. In there, they see several of their henchmen beaten up and the front gate is busted. In front of the busted gate are the 8 Smashers, Crazy Hand, and Naruto. "We're here to claim back Ganondorf," says Link. "Where is he?"
"So you guys made it here," says Orochimaru. "That means the Sound 4 and Kimimaro have failed their job. But what about Sasuke?"
"I believe he's all right," says CH, pointing to a brand new warp star behind them, and Sasuke is lying on top of it.
"No! This can't be! You freed him from the Darkling!"
"Yes we did!" says Naruto. "I'll never let you take him!"
"And give back Ganondorf!" says Bowser angrily.
"Ganondorf is under the control of the Darkling. He is no longer on your side! Plus, will you be mean enough to attack your own comrade?"
"We fight quite often back home, so it's not a problem!" says Bowser.
At this moment, the box containing Ganondorf begins to rumble. "Ah, so he's waking up," says Orochimaru. "Behold the new dark power that he has!"
The box explodes, and a Darkling comes flying out. It lets out a painful shriek and then disappears. The smoke clears and Ganondorf is seen standing there, with the Poseidon's Trident in his hand. "Hello everybody! I had the strangest dream ever!"
"Ganondorf!" say the Smashers happily.
"What! You're not possessed!" gasps Orochimaru. "This can't be!"
"I have the Holy Weapon with me all along! There is no way I can get possessed!" says Ganondorf. "I rejected the dark offer and decided to fight against it! I am tired of getting controlled by other people! Orochimaru, you are going down for trying to use me!"
TO BE CONTINUED…
Ganondorf is all right! Yeah! And sorry if the battle with Sasuke is a bit short. I couldn't come up with interesting things for it.
