Hikari: Ello my duckies! I assume all is well and I will start the next chappy… right after I eat the hearts of my enemies to keep their spirits from rising once again and reeking their bloody revenge…..

Sunny: …..What the hell is wrong with you?

Vamp: 'I will one day kill you all……None of you can understand me can you?'

Hikari: Awww….Vamp-kun looks hungry again /picks up Vamp and snuggles him/ Awwwwwww…You're just the cutest lil thing!

Vamp: 'I'm going to kill you one of these days.'

Sunny: sigh Can we just get on with this? You haven't updated in FOREVER!….And what was with the heart-eating comment?

Hikari: Uhhh….ON WITH THE STORY!

With Pon-Pon after being left at the lake in the field:

Pon-Pon, after a good ten minutes of sobbing over the lack of her life-long companion, Pan-Pan, she decided that the sooner she found her partner the sooner she could get back to Pan-Pan and the others so she walked to the shore of the lake and looked through the rippling surface to the temple at the sea weed infested bottom.

How am I gonna get down there? Well, I guess I should try swimming, but it looks REALLY deep…Oh well, I'm getting nothing done by just standing around. And with that Pon-Pon dived into the cold waters. She made it half way to the temple before her air supply ran short. Dang! I have to breathe! She stopped and started to make her way hurriedly to the surface. I-I'm not gonna make it…She had to breathe. The surface was too far away. What was she gonna do! Pon-Pon's lungs felt like they had exploded as her body began to sink. This is it. I'm going to die he-WAIT A SECOND! To her astonishment, she found that she was breathing, only she wasn't at the surface, she was still underwater and sinking fast. Pon-Pon righted herself and looked around. The Water Temple was only a few more feet and with her new discovery she easily swam to the entrance. Wow, I guess I really do have the power of water. Hey! There's something carved into the door! "Only the one who wields the power of Poseidon can enter here."

Poseidon? Where have I heard that name before...

TIME FOR A FLASHBACK!

Kevin: Man! You suck at this game, Pon-Pon!

Pon-Pon: Hey! I can't help it if this green guy with that pointy thing won't fight the way I want him to!

Kevin: It's called a trident, and that green guy is Poseidon, Greek god of the sea.

Pon-Pon: Whatever Kevin! Sheesh! Like THAT information would EVER come in handy one day! Now best two out of three?

END FLASHBACK!

Oh, that green dude, how did Kevin even KNOW that anyway? Oh whatever, now let's see, how can "Poseidon, Greek god of the sea" have anything to do with this Hey! Seawater so then the one with Poseidon's power can wield the element of water!

Suddenly a loud, booming voice (familiar, huh?) that seemed to come from the doors themselves said "Only the one with the power of Poseidon may enter!"

"AHHHH!" Screamed Pon-Pon "Who are you!"

"I am the entrance to the water temple! You can call me Spencer."

"Um, ok. How do I prove it?"

"You need to figure that out."

"…….Um, ok……. I AM talking to you underwater, and I have these TOTALLY cool shoes I took from Susan!"

"Whoa! Those ARE cool! Go on in!" And with that the doors, now known as Spencer, opened.

With Kevin and Hiro

"I am kicking your ass so bad here Hiro-kun! What's wrong with you?" Asked Kevin as her character, Jin, body slammed Hiromaru's character, Roger, into the pavement of the sidewalk somewhere in downtown New York City on the PS2 game they had rescued from the remains of St. Jimmy.

"That's because I have no clue what I'm doing here." Hiro sighed as Roger was flipped and then had most and/or all of his ribs broken. Kevin merely rolled her eyes.

"Excuses, excuses!"

Back to Pon-Pon in the Water Temple

After passing through the door, Spencer, Pon-Pon found a long tunnel going straight down. It seemed to reach down forever and she was glad she could breathe underwater because no normal human would be able to hold their breath for this long. Suddenly, the tunnel turned upward sharply and ended in an air pocket. She found herself in a large cavern that was made completely out of a blue-gray marble. Around the edges of the cavern Pon-Pon noticed the same seaweed she knew grew outside. They twisted and danced, but they weren't underwater. Ooookkkkk...That's weird. I'm no expert on water plants, but I don't think they're supposed to do that on dry land. Pon-Pon, having gotten out of the water, suddenly noticed something that should have been painfully obvious. In the center of the cavern lay a large white tiger with dark blue stripes. Though a better description would be humongous since the tiger was probably ten times as big as Pon-Pon was. "Holy-"Before she could utter the rest of her swear, the tiger rolled onto its stomach making Pon-Pon jump in alarm. When she realized it was just sleeping she relaxed a bit.

Oh man! This thing's HUGE! Is this supposed to be my partner? I guess there's nothing else here unless Hiromaru expects me to team up with some dancing seaweed. Well, I guess I'm supposed to wake it up now... "WHAT AM I THINKING! WAKE UP A GIANT KITTY THAT COULD EAT ME LIKE A MOUSE!"

At her loud exclamation, the massive tiger opened its unnaturally intense robin's egg blue eyes and gazed at the terrified teen in amusement.

"Hmm? There hasn't been such an appealing girl in my presence for so long. It is an honor to meet you my dear."

"Uhhh….Hi. I'm Pon-Pon." Pon-Pon said hesitantly.

"I see. Why are you in my temple? No mortal has ever been able to enter. You know, it being underwater and all." The tiger monster said with a yawn as it rose from the tiled floor and licked a mini-van sized paw.

"Well, you wouldn't happen to be my 'elemental partner' would you?"

"Elemental partner? I'm sorry to say I have no clue what you're talking about fair maiden."

"Ah, Hiro-nii must have been wrong then."

The tiger abruptly stopped cleaning his paws and ears and looked at Pon-Pon with an annoyed expression on his whiskered face. "Hiro-nii? Do you mean that obnoxious wind demon Hiromaru?"

"Um, yeah. You know him?" Pon-Pon asked becoming nervous about the feline's sudden change in behavior.

"Unfortunately, yes. He and I as well a few others were under the control of a powerful wizard quite a long time ago." The tiger said with a sigh.

"Wow..." Pon-Pon said in astonishment. That wizard must have been REALLY powerful cause this guy's huge!

Suddenly, the large tiger walks to the exit of his sleeping chambers. "We should go. If Hiromaru sent you than he must have sent others to be woken up. Right?"

"Uh, yeah. My sister and my two cousins. Hiro-nii said we had to team up with some elementals."

"So there are four of you then?" the tiger turned and looked at her, again with amusement.

"Yeah, why?"

"Wouldn't that mean that Hiromaru has a partner?" the tiger's eyes flickered with unspoken laughs.

"Yeah. My sister K-chan! Well, actually, that's just a nickname that she hates. I guess we SHOULD go. It'll be dark soon." And with that the tiger and Pon-Pon walked to the end of the pool and right before the dived, the tiger asked,

"What's your sister's real name?"

"Well, Kevin. Though THAT'S not her real name either. It's just what we call her."

"Wait, that doesn't make any sense!" The tiger exclaimed, but Pon-Pon had already disappeared under the water too excited about finally being able to return to Pan-Pan and her other family members.

Hikari: Whoo hoo! Done! That was fun.

Sunny: Not really.

Hikari: …party pooper.

Sunny: Shut up.

Hikari: Lalala! I'm not listening! Well, another chapter done. Sorry it took so long.

Next up I think I'll finally get to Pan-Pan's adventure at the Temple of Fire! Yay!

Well,

Ja Ne all my loyal duckies!
