Sheik vs. the Snake
Sheik was in a fighting stance holding senbon in her hands like claws. Orochimaru stood there smirking. "I think I'll play with this one. That way I can get a good guess on how strong the other smashers are." Orochimaru drew out two kunai knives.
"Get ready to die!" Sheik shouted. She ran forward at Orochimaru and swiped at him with her senbon while Orochimaru effortlessly blocked the attack with his kunai knives. The two of them were fighting each other with weapons slashes and rapid kicks and punches at a furious pace. Sheik leaped over Orochimaru and tried to kick him, but he blocked with his arms. As Sheik landed, she began making hand signs. "Fire style! Fireball jutsu!" Sheik moved the bandages in front of her mouth out of the way and breathed out a large fireball at Orochimaru.
"So, you've learned how to use fire jutsu." Orochimaru simply smirked and dodged the attack at an amazing speed. Sheik saw Orochimaru as he ran, and he eventually started to blur as he ran until he ran around too fast for Sheik to keep track.
"Guess I'll try it as well." Sheik started to run at her normal already fast pace, until like Orochimaru, she ran so fast that she only appeared as a blur. The two of them kept dashing past each other clashing their weapons every time they did so for several more minutes. They finally dashed straight at each other and clashed with each other so hard that it created a sonic boom. The two of them jumped back from each other and Sheik threw three Senbon at Orochimaru. Orochimaru simply caught the senbon between his fingers.
"Did you honestly think that would work?" Orochimaru asked.
"No, I didn't." Sheik said.
"What?" Orochimaru then noticed small little bags attached to the senbon. "Mini-paper bombs." He realized too late, the bombs exploded and sent him flying backward. Sheik took advantage of this and dashed forward with her senbon drawn out. She thrust them forward and stabbed Orochimaru in somewhere on the chest with her Senbon and the wound began to bleed lightly. "Clever…" Orochimaru said. He then picked up Sheik and threw her across the clearing. "Shadow snake!" Orochimaru thrust his arm forward and four snakes came from under his sleeve and extended toward Sheik. The snakes bit Sheik in the upper arms and the laps of her legs.
"Augh!" The snakes lifted her up in to the air and she was flung against a tree before the snakes leg go of her. Orochimaru wasted no time in charging forward with his kunai to stab her. Sheik looked in horror, as Orochimaru appeared right in front of her and thrust his kunai in to her stomach. In a puff of smoke, a log had replaced Sheik.
"Pheonix flower jutsu!" Orochimaru turned around to see multiple fireballs flying at him. Orochimaru quickly made several hand signs before breathing out a humongous gust of air. The fireballs dissipated and Sheik was blown backwards at an incredible velocity in to trees that the gust of wind knocked down. Orochimaru didn't even seem to mind the Senbon that were hidden in the fireballs, because he practically let them hit him. But they apparently didn't hit anywhere vital. In front of him, trees had been uprooted and the area they were in was leveled.
"Come on out now. I know you're still alive." Orochimaru said. Sheik's arm appeared out of the ground and it wrapped her whip around Orochimaru. Sheik then came out of the ground still holding the whip. She yanked the whip back toward her and Orochimaru was violently pulled forward toward her. She then spun around and kicked Orochimaru under the chin. She appeared underneath Orochimaru and the bandages on her arms wrapped themselves around Orochimaru. The two of them the fell toward the ground while spinning around at super-high speeds.
"Primary Lotus!" Sheik shouted. The two of them hit the ground and Orochimaru was buried alive with only his lower body sticking out of the ground. The attack weakened Sheik so she used a red potion she kept safe with her. "That was easier than I thought, thought tiring." Sheik said. She then looked in horror as Orochimaru's body turned in to clay like substance and melted. "A substitution!"
"Let me show you something my old teacher once used." Sheik turned around to see Orochimaru making a few hand signs. "Earth Dragon jutsu!" The ground beside Orochimaru turned in to mud and the mud formed a dragon's head. The dragonhead shot out several mud balls at Sheik. Orochimaru then quickly made more hand signs. "Flame Dragon jutsu!" Orochimaru then breathed out a stream of fire that resembled a dragon. The flames collided with the mud balls and ignited them, sending flaming missiles at Sheik.
"Ah!" Sheik shouted as she tried to run from the attack. She unfortunately pinned against a nearby cliff wall. Sheik made a few more hand signs. "Come on… come on! Earth style!" Sheik stuck her hand in to the ground and flipped up a wall of earth similar to Jirobou's jutsu. The earth shield withstood the first and second fire missiles but it fell to the remaining attacks. Leaving a pile of rubble on top of Sheik.
"Hm hm hm hm hm…" Orochimaru chuckled. "It is impressive really… you've only had two days training, and you've come to learn the way of shinobi quite quickly. I must say that I am truly impressed." Orochimaru said as Sheik climbed out of the rubble considerably burnt..
"I'm not done yet!" Sheik said angrily as she took more Senbon. She charged forward once again and clashed weapons with Orochimaru. She attempted claw swipes, leg sweeps, and various other kicks that Orochimaru simply blocked or dodged. She leaped over Orochimaru and tried to kick the top of his head again, but he blocked it once again. But instead of landing behind him, she kicked off of Orochimaru's arm and launched herself high in to the air. "Try this on for size!" Sheik threw down several senbon that stuck in to the ground around Orochimaru. Orochimaru noticed that there were chakra strings attached to the senbon. Sheik then threw more Senbon at almost random trees around Orochimaru. These senbon were attached to the same strings as the first ones she threw, leaving Orochimaru surrounded by a maze of string.
"Clever, but by the time you do another ninjutsu, I will have escaped from this." Orochimaru said.
"Who said anything about ninjutsu?" Sheik said. From the senbon stuck in the trees, several mini paper bombs slid down the string. Sheik then threw another senbon with a mini paper bomb attached to it that ignited the other paper bombs. With all of those paper bombs, the resulting explosion was humongous. "Yes!" Sheik said. However, Orochimaru's hand reached up from below and grabbed her leg. "What the…?" A puff of smoke occurred and when the smoke cleared, Sheik's head was the only thing above ground and a somewhat smoking Orochimaru was standing above her.
"You truly are gifted in the art of shinobi. I would mark you, but your jutsu isn't formed from chakra. Oh well, I guess it's time for you to die." Orochimaru decided to prolong the suffering by leaping way back. He pulled out a kunai and slowly took aim and threw it at her head.
"Grr…" Sheik focused as hard as she could. The kunai pierced her forehead and the blood began to leak down the kunai. But in a puff of smoke a log was sticking out of the ground. "I've told you that I'm not done yet!" Sheik shouted as she dashed forward with her senbon. Orochimaru dodged and coiled himself like a snake around a nearby tree.
"So… my fun hasn't ended yet." Orochimaru said while chuckling. He stuck out his tongue and wrapped it around Sheik. He flung her against multiple trees and then slammed her on to the ground. Sheik stood back up weakly.
"I'll have to try it…" Sheik made a hand sign. "Shadow clone jutsu!" In a large puff of smoke, several Sheiks were standing there. Not as many as Naruto can make, but still a lot of them. "Here goes!" They all said.
"So… you've learned the Shadow clones jutsu." Orochimaru unwound himself from the tree. "This will be interesting."
The Sheik clones charged at Orochimaru and began to attack him wildly. He took out a few Shadow clones but realized he was now surrounded. A few leaped in to the air and all of them threw senbon at him from all sides. The sheiks then made another hand sign. "Shadow senbon clones!" All of them threw about five senbon, but the jutsu made about 5 clones of each one. And since Orochimaru was surrounded, about twenty-five senbon pelted him from each side. The dust cleared and Orochimaru was standing there with needles sticking in to every part of him. Not surprisingly, he turned in to brown clay and melted again. "Another substitution." Orochimaru then ran through the clones and took out the vast majority in a blur.
"Very good… you even know how to clone your weapons." Orochimaru said. "Very impressive indeed." Orochimaru said as he got ready to dash again.
"Hiyah! The remaing five Sheiks all threw senbon again but they didn't clone them this time. Orochimaru rolled under the attack, but the second he stood back up, one Sheik kicked him under the chin sending him flying in to the air once again. Four other Sheiks leaped in to the air doing several front flips; all of the Sheiks in the air then performed a spinning heel drop on Orochimaru's head and shoulders that sent Orochimaru crashing back down to the ground. The Sheiks got out their senbon to hold them in a claw like fashion, "Quintuple piercing fang!" The five Sheiks then launched themselves forward at Orochimaru while spinning in a drill like fashion. Orochimaru got hit by the attack and was being clawed violently by the attack. When the attack ended, the other four clones disappeared from exhaustion, leaving only Sheik around. "That should have… NO!" Sheik looked in horror as Orochimaru stood up despite all the scratches, in fact… he didn't even seem to notice the bleeding cuts.
"Your ninjutsu is impressive, and your taijutsu is even more so." Orochimaru said. "But while I was using few techniques to attack you, you were using up an abhorrent amount of your magic." Orochimaru said. "I've had my fun, but I'm done playing." Orochimaru said.
"He was… toying with me?" She thought to herself in disbelief. Orochimaru put his two fingers in front of his face, looked Sheik in the eyes, and made a hissing noise. Sheik suddenly found herself paralyzed. Not physically so much as mentally, she just froze out of fear.
"Hm hm hm hm." Orochimaru chuckled.
"Hiiiiyaaaah!"
"What?" Orochimaru was caught off guard a little bit. Fox jumped in and landed a spinning kick to his head.
"You won't kill my teammate so easily!" Fox then proceeded to mercilessly pound on Orochimaru with punches and kicks. Until Fox landed a punch that went right through him. "Huh?" Orochimaru then melted in to brown clay. Fox suddenly felt someone grab his leg. In a puff of smoke, Orochimaru was standing above Fox's head. "Hey! Get… me… out… now…" Fox said as he tried to pull himself out of the ground.
"You shouldn't disturb me when I'm about to make a kill." Orochimaru said. He then leaped out of the way of arrows and fireballs.
"You leave Zelda and Fox alone!" Link shouted.
"You mess with one of us, you mess with all of us." Roy said.
"You're all such fools." Orochimaru said. All of a sudden, ice surrounded Orochimaru and froze him where he was standing.
"Let's body slam him!" Wario shouted rushing at Orochimaru's back.
"Ooooooo!" DK shouted while running toward Orochimaru's front. Wario and DK then body slammed Orochimaru between the two of them. (Just imagine getting body slammed full force between a gorilla and a guy of Wario's girth. That would hurt.) Orochimaru got out of the ice and hopped up on to a tree branch.
"I've had my fun, it's time for me to end this." Orochimaru bit his thumb to make it bleed; he then streaked the blood across a tattoo on his arm. "Summoning jutsu!" In four really big puffs of smoke, four snakes appeared. Three of them were gray with black markings on their bodies and freakishly huge. And the last one was purple and was even bigger than all of those snakes. Orochimaru was standing on the head of the largest snake. In fact, Orochimaru appeared to be just a spec while standing on the head that snake.
"Holy…" Roy gasped.
"Yo guys! Could you get me out of here!" Fox yelled.
"Okay." DK said as he yanked Fox out of the ground.
"Ow… did you have to jerk me out?"
"What's wrong with Zelda, she's just frozen there." Link said.
"We have bigger problems right now." Wario said. DK ran over and used a rope to tie Sheik to his back.
"My pets! Here's your meals, so devour them!" Orochimaru shouted. The four snakes lunged forward. Roy and Link fought one of the gray snakes with their swords and they seemed to be winning until the snake tail-whipped Link and crushed Roy under its weight. Wario tried to be brave by attacking the largest one.
"I'm not afraid of you!" Wario shouted as he grabbed the snake's tail. The snake simply picked up its tail and flattened Wario. "That… didn't… hurt…" Wario said as he went limp.
Fox was shooting at one of the snakes with his blaster. The blaster was doing little damage against the giant snake. The snake lunged at Fox and tried to eat him, but he ran along the length of the snake's back. Unfortunately one of the other snakes whipped Fox off of that snake's back.
"Try this!" Nana and Popo tied their rope around the neck of one of the gray snakes and tried to strangle it. It seemed to be working at first, until the two of them were grabbed by two black snakes each.
"Now now, no need to get so rough is there?" Orochimaru asked coyly while holding the two Ice Climbers. He threw the two of them from way up high, the landed on a tree branch and landed on the ground limp.
DK was the only one left. He bravely punched one of the snakes, but the largest snake whipped him against a tree, crushing both him and Sheik.
"How sad… I expected more from you smashers." Orochimaru said. "You may have your sacrifices now." Orochimaru said to the snakes. "And after that, we find out what they did with Sasuke."
"YOU WON'T HAVE THEEEEEEEM!" Came Naruto's voice. Naruto leaped in and punched one of the gray snakes rapidly until it disappeared. Naruto once again had his feral features, only difference was that there was red-orange chakra, so powerful that it was visible circling him. There was also an aura that looked like four tails coming from Naruto. "I'll kill you!" Naruto shouted. Naruto leaped at another snake and drilled through its throat, making it disappear. The last snake tried to attack Naruto, but Naruto barrel flipped out of the way of the attack and quickly lunged at it to claw at its face mercilessly. Leaving only the large snake and Orochimaru left.
"So, the nine-tailed fox has slipped through again. Manda, it seems we have our work cut out for us." Orochimaru said. Naruto charged at Orochimaru and the snake, the snake quickly dodged Naruto. Naruto charged again to throw a punch. Orochimaru bit both of his thumbs for blood and he touched both of them to the ground. "Summoning jutsu." A humongous gate with spikes for the columns and a demonic wolf head for the gate appeared. Naruto still punched through it with some effort, but this gave Orochimaru cover to have Manda coil around Naruto revealing Naruto's stomach. "So predictable." Orochimaru said. The fingers on his right hand began to spurt purple flames. "Five-element seal!" Orochimaru placed his fingers around the seal on Naruto's stomach.
"AAAAAAHHH!" Naruto screamed before his features returned to normal and he passed out. Orochimaru threw him to the ground with the other smashers.
"It's high time we killed them." Orochimaru said. To his surprise, a whole bunch of sand surrounded the smashers and Naruto and they were pulled away quickly. "So, the Kazekage has come." Orochimaru said.
"Don't bother looking for them Orochimaru, I can keep them well out of your reach." Said a boy with redish-brown hair. He looked like he had insomnia from his eyes, and he was carrying a large gourd on his back.
"Gaara, you are a fool, you and I both know that I can defeat you." Orochimaru said.
"Maybe I can't beat you… but you won't have any of your prizes." Gaara said. He then brought a huge wall of sand in front of him and created a tsunami of sand that went for Orochimaru and Manda. When the sand cleared, Gaara had disappeared along with the smashers. He also saw something written in sand on the ground. It read "I've taken Sasuke as well, as I said, you won't have any of your prizes."
"Hm hm hm hm…" Orochimaru chuckled, Manda disappeared in a humongous puff of smoke. "You're wrong Gaara." Orochimaru regurgitated the piece of the Black Rune. "I still have one prize, and it's quite a prize." Orochimaru said. "Shame, I've lost them though. Gaara's not an idiot, he won't head straight back to the leaf village." He said as he frowned. "I'll have all of your heads smashers. Especially you, Zelda." Orochimaru said.
A few days later…
Sheik woke up in some tent. "I'm glad you woke up." Said Tsunade.
"Where am I?" Sheik asked.
"Yeah… where are we?" Link said as he woke up. Slowly, the other smashers and Naruto woke up one by one. Kakashi, Tsunade, Sakura, and some male ninja with a toad shaped headband and long white hair were all standing there.
"You're in a medical tent, Sakura, I, and a few other medical ninja were looking after you." Tsunade answered. "And this… is Jiraiya." Tsunade said pointing to the white haired ninja.
"I'm known as the toad hermit." Jiraiya said. "I also undid that seal Orochimaru put on Naruto's stomach, again." He said.
"What about Sasuke?" Fox asked.
"I reapplied the seal on it, it won't activate for some time again." Kakashi said. "He also won't be waking up for a while since someone did quite a number on him.
"Eh heh heh heh…" laughed quietly and meekly.
"Thank you guys so much." Sakura said.
"Wait! Where's Orochimaru?" Roy asked.
"I saved you from him." Gaara said as he walked in.
"This is Gaara of the desert, the Kazekage of the Village Hidden in the Sand." Tsunade said. "He was here for a political visit of sorts and I told him about our crises."
"How long have we been out?" Popo asked.
"Two days." Sakura answered.
"Two days!" Wario shouted. "Grr… we've wasted time in bed." Wario growled.
"We have to get that rune back from Orochimaru!" Nana shouted.
"He's gone…" Gaara said. "You see… I hid out in the forest from him for a day before bringing you back here to recover. In the meantime, I used my third eye jutsu to spy on him, he left because he knew I'd be hiding out of his reach." Gaara said.
"So…" DK said.
"We failed." Sheik sighed.
"Come on…" Link said while hugging Sheik to comfort him. "… we need to get back to the Smash Mansion."
"You're right." Sheik said.
The smashers hopped on their warp stars and waved goodbye to their new friends.

I'm aware that a few of my reviewers might not be so happy with the outcome of that fight, but I swear, Orochimaru serves more purpose of this story than just to deliver the Black Rune to the Dark Lord.
Speaking of the Dark Lord, his identity will be revealed…
