Atlantis

It was dark in the long-forgotten cavern below the ground, shimmering with cool clear water from the deep lagoon. It was like an air bubble supported by merged stalactites and stalagmites, and it the deep pool swam a handful of fish, one being the size of a small building with protruding fangs and spikes along the ridges in it's back. All the smaller fish followed it dutifully as it's green eyes focused on what was ahead, keeping it's orange tailfin in constant motion.

On the tiny ridge of land that was attached to the cavern walls, a figure was panting, trying to catch his breath as he lay on the white sand, leaning against the blue stone wall. He had brown fur and a rather large snout, complete with a black nose that bobbed with his movements. A shark-tooth necklace hug on his neck, lying atop the chestnut fur that was drenched from the lagoon. Yellow shorts shone out like a beacon in the dark, and a blue backpack completed the attire. Or did it?

A head popped out of the backpack, eyeing the bear as he wiped his hair, or fur, away from his blue eyes shakily. "Banjo?" It whispered in a squawky voice. The rest of it's torso lifted from the pack, revealing a feminine bird that was crimson with gold accents. She had a single feather on her head, and green eyes that eyed her partner worriedly.

The bear wiped away some gunky algae on his arm and asked in a raspy voice, "Yeah? What is it Kazooie?" She gave a shaky chuckle- a big feat for a bird. "That was kinda weird, wasn't it?" The bear, Banjo, nodded with a forced chuckle of his own. "First blowfish, the electric eels, and now seaweed! What'll Grunty come up with next?" He tried to sit up, but was forced to stop as a shot of pain sped through him like a bullet. He collapsed on the ground, sand shooting up like a fountain as he fell back on his bum.

Kazooie covered her eyes with her wings, shielding them from the sand spray. "Watch it, furface!" she cawed. "Sorry." He responded, slumping against the wall tiredly, resting his aching limbs.

Stupid seaweed.

That had entered the sunken world of Atlantis hidden under Jolly Roger's lagoon, past the alien spaceship, and beyond huge octopi with slashing tentacles within it's stone walls and passageways. Of course, if it hadn't been for Mumbo's shamanic powers, they couldn't be down here in the first place. Using his magic, the skull-faced shaman made a power fall from the sun and shine into the deep trench in the lagoon, filling it with breathable oxygen for the bear and Breegull.

Once they got used to the water flowing in their lungs, they swam down into the lagoon, past the dangers lurking below to face the marvelous sunken city. Despite the age and crumbling buildings, the lime-green stone glimmered with it's own ancient charm, leaving the duo at awe.

They swan past an arc that was surrounded by mermaid statues holding pots with etchings of forgotten symbols on them, waiting for an offering. Their gray eyes stayed frozen in place, as if to coax something out of the two. They quickly swan away, promising themselves to check it out later.

They entered another building, one that was more cylindrical in design, and found themselves in a small pool within, one that was guarded by two electric eels.

As if the blowfish that had been guarding the city weren't annoying enough.

That duo tried to swim past, but were quickly shocked with the eel's electric current until the exited the cool water. They spent no time getting out of there! A little dazed, the two found themselves within the building, where strange vegetation grew. It was the 'Seaweed Sanctum', or so the captions on the screen claimed when they first entered the ruin.

Kazooie could read well backwards when she had to.

When the two looked around, they saw a Shock Jump disc lying innocently on a collapsed pillar leading up to a second floor. Curious, Banjo proceeded forward, and was caught by a nasty surprise. As he passed, one of the seaweed deposits came to life and swung out its leafy arms, letting out a screech. Naturally, Banjo was caught unaware and was hit, letting out an 'Oof!' of pain. Only four more honeycombs left….

The bear, bruised and dazed, ran for it, only to be caught by another. When did seaweed have sharp leaves?! Three honeycombs left…

With a final burst of energy, the bear and bird flip-flapped their way up to the disc, then sprung to the next floor. Thankfully, there was no living seaweed up here. But all they found was a solitary Jinjo. Big whoop.

There was a final floor in the Sanctum, and this time, Banjo was certain they were free of danger. Kazooie thought otherwise. Guess who was right?

This time, there was only one Seaweed creature, and it smacked the bear silly. The bear, with only two honeycombs left (and plenty of bruises), sped across the floor to a door covered in ancient green slime, and staggered down the steps, into the Big Fish Cavern.

Which is where we are now.

Kazooie looked her partner over and sighed. "Banjo, I told you that there was another one!" She squawked, running a feather over his black nose. The bear sighed. "I'm sorry, Kaz." He muttered, leaning his head against the wall with a grunt.

The bird sighed and draped her wings around Banjo. "Y'know, Banjo, you should listen to me more." She crooed, pecking her partner's head slightly with her pointy beak. The bear nodded, wincing as a tingle ran up his leg. The Breegull rolled her eyes and laid her head on the bear's shoulder. "You can't do everything on your own. I wanna help to, k?"

"…ok. I'll listen more, Kazooie."

"Good! Now, about the title of the game…"

"…Kazooie…"

Yeah, I'm gonna havta update everything more often. I'm still working on my Shaman King stories…which have been neglected as of late… T-T, but I wrote this up to a picture I did on devART. X3 This may turn into a continuation of oneshots in B-K and B-T, just tell me what you think.

And sorry the story is short and had a bad ending. I seriously had a brain-death…. (holds bouquet of lilies)
