Kazooie had never been more than a mile away from banjo, she never thought she would have to be, but soon she would find herself traveling to a whole new island for him, and things would never be the same after.

Kazooie and The Crooked Mountains

Chapter one

Bear Napping

"Good night Kazooie" Banjo's voice echoed across the house, followed by a peaceful silence.

Kazooie peaked her head out of the Bears backpack and yawned "Night Banjo".

The little lights went out and now it was completely dark, wasn't to long before there was a loud crash that startled the bear and bird. "Was that you Kazooie?" Banjo asked In a groggy voice, to which she responded "No, but I'm not checking it out".

Banjo groaned and stumbled across the dark room towards the door outside, once on his front yard, he saw a larger figure. "Boggy?" He asked but was sure he was wrong. Then he got whacked in the head with a heavy object and crumbled to the floor. Kazooie had fallen fast asleep at this point and didn't even notice that the bear didn't return, then morning came.

She jumped out of Banjo's backpack and noticed he wasn't in his bed, scratch that, he wasn't in the house! She called out "Banjo! Where are you hiding? This isn't funny!" Then she looked out the front window and saw a box with a piece of paper being held down with a little necklace of sorts. She ran out the front door and picked up the paper, it read, "Hey feathers, guess what I've got? Actually its who I've got, I have the fur ball, you two have caused me a good deal of suffering over the years , and he will definitely suffer every day until you get here. If you're ever want to see him again then come on down to The Crooked Mountains, I'll be waiting at the top of the left one.

I hope you die trying, Gruntilda Winkybunion.

Kazooie then looked at the necklace, it was Banjo's. "He's gone.." she was definitely hurt, but she felt something more, he was only her friend, what else was there to fell but hurt and anger? She thought about what she was going to do to that witch when she got there, it was final, she was definitely going after him then she realized that banjo was probably thousands of miles away and she never got to say goodbye or something, not that she cared, he was just a friend of hers.

She stood in the yard for a bit holding Banjo's necklace and wondered how she was going to get to The Crooked Mountains, wherever that was, eventually she decided that Mumbo might be able to get help her. So after a bit of walking she was at Mumbo's skull house, he was in the front sleeping on a lawn chair. "Hey bonehead, I need your help" kazooie was annoyed by how her morning was turning up so far, Mumbo opened his eyes and looked at her with a confused exasperation "What this, why annoying bird without a bear?" Kazooie felt aggravated when he called her annoying, "That's why I'm here, read this". She passed him the note, after he read it he looked back at her "so witch stole bear from you and took him to Crooked Mountains, that grate, just grate". Kazooie took the note back and said "so can you help me with getting to Crooked Mountains, because I have no clue where that is".

Maybe she was asking to much of him, he might not even know where that is. Finally Mumbo said " Mumbo Can help bird with this, but cannot take her there". Kazooie was starting to not like where this was going, but she decided to take whatever she could get "So how do I get there?" She didn't notice that she was fiddling with Banjo's necklace, him being gone was already taking a toll on her "Mumbo tell you who can bring you there" Mumbo stood out of his lawn chair. "Well come on Skullcap, we don't have all day, who can take me there?" Mumbo looked pained to have to say this. "Humba get you there, don't tell Humba, but I no strong enough to do that kind of magic" Kazooie was shocked to hear that. "Looks like we might have discovered the more powerful shaman, it only took 18 years" she wouldn't forget this, it was to good.

Next thing she knew she was approaching Humba's wigwam, this could go very well, or kazooie could potentially die, nothing to serious, "hello bird, what brings you here?" Humba said this with the annoying half a second pause between words thing she did. "I need you to take me to Crooked Mountains" Kazooie jumped straight to the point, but Humba chuckled and said "go get bear first, you stand no chance alone" Then she frowned and tried for a sympathetic look.

Kazooie must have looked upset about that comment because then Humba said "Is bear already there?" Kazooie just nodded, she felt oddly powerless without Banjo and she didn't like the feeling. "Humba maybe send you there, depends on spell" she grabbed a glowbo and tossed it into the pool in the centre of her wigwam, then she tossed something else in, a bundle of plants, nothing special that Kazooie could make of them, but then the pool turned green and started to bubble. "It looks good enough, bird jump in now" Kazooie didn't like the idea of that, but… she couldn't believe she was thinking this, but Banjo of all people needed saving, and Kazooie felt like it was her job to save him, but there was another reason why she was going to such great lengths to save Banjo, but she refused to believe that. She said her thanks to Humba and stepped into the green pool.

When I say "new project" I mean the original idea, this was what I had planned for my first initial series, but The Final Showdown was what I wrote instead, I wanted to get a feel for this franchises fan base before pulling out the big guns, trust me my other series isn't over, I plan on updating it once I actually get a grip on it, it's not going anywhere so don't panic, don't forget to R and R
