A/N: Hi everybody! This is my first fanfic ever, so reviews are welcome, even if they are flames. Enjoy!
Quote had gone through thousands of steps, maybe millions, just for this one moment of triumph. He charged his Spur and shot the Undead Core in its face. The core exploded, sending Quote into unconsciousness. "Second time in less than a year…" he thought as he fell into blackness.
He woke up to Sue tugging his arm. "Come on! We have to escape. The island is falling!" Sue ran across the room and down the steps. Quote scurried after her. When he got outside, Sue was yelling to him: "Hurry! If you don't run fast enough, you'll get squished by the flying blocks!" Quote dodged blocks as he made his way across the shaking balcony. The door to the Prefab House was open. "Huh?" he thought as he boosted across the blocks, "It's not closed? Might as well check inside." He closed the door behind him as a block almost crushed him. Quote noticed a hole in the floor. He could smell the evil radiating from it. He knew that this was his final destination. He ran forward and jumped down into a black wind.
Quote landed on an orange platform with blocks to the left and a sign down to his right. He went down to the sign and read its chilling words:
"Welcome to Hell!"
He boosted up the small pit and stood next to the "staircase" of spikes. He boosted across them and was ready to land when he saw MORE spikes below him. "Oh crap!" Quote thought. He landed on one of the smaller spikes and regained his boost fuel. He flew up to the ledge in front of him and heard a voice…
Did you know that the woman named Jenka had as son named Ballos?
Like his sister, he possessed magical powers that no man had.
Quote shivered and felt as though the voice was watching him. He walked over to the two energy triangles/triforces/nacho cheese capsules and let the Whimsical Star hit them, leveling up his Missile Launcher to Level 2. He ran to the ledge below the capsules and jumped off, boosting across a platform filled with spikes. He passed the energy capsules and landed on a very small ledge with a life capsule. He grabbed the capsule and boosted across the ground full of spikes below him and landed on a platform with a door and an unconscious Curly Brace. Quote picked her up and tied her to his back with his tow rope, then heard the voice again…
The people loved and trusted Ballos,
Even more than their own king…
Quote walked on through the door and prepared himself for what would happen next… in Hell.
