AN: Oh my god, this chapter is insane! I honestly don't know what I was thinking when I wrote it! This is the penultimate chapter, I swear!
Chapter 7: In Darkness
Why was I scared? First of all; you'd be scared too if you were walking in almost complete darkness, 2nd I was afraid we would fail, and thirdly even though Luigi is a guardian I was still afraid even if we won Luigi would have to sacrifise himself. Because of that when I let go of Luigi's hand mine shook a little. "R.O.B, can you locate the weak point?" Luigi asked. "Yep! Just hold on a second... we better hurry, it's at the other side." R.O.B. reported. "Well Shadow and I will be there before you can say apocolypse." chuckled Sonic.
We ran with Sonic and Shadow and R.O.B. in the lead. Then we stopped. There was a voice, it sounded familiar... "You wretched idiots think I'm completely dead?! No! I still have a small shadow of my power, not enough to stop the Void, enough to crush you!" said...Crazy. "We're not the idiots here Mr. Laughedsohardthathedied!" Bowser insulted. "Never mind my mistake! Now if you want to make it to the other side the the Void in time you must solve a series of puzzles." Crazy instructed. Since when did Crazy turn into Don Poalo?
"Puzzle 001: What is the weapon that no lock-" Crazy started. "Key blade!" Sora interruppted. "Oh, yeah! I forgot you have one. Move on." Crazy groaned. This is a piece of cake. We cautiously walked. Unless Crazy's puzzles aren't gonna be hard I wished that Layton tagged along. But then again Crazy isn't the brightest bulb on the Hannakah tree. Then we stopped again. It was time for the next puzzle.
"Alright, now for Puzzle 002: What is my niece's name?" Crazy asked. Neice? Crazy and Master don't have any relitaves. "Hey! You're just pretending!" Peach pointed out. "Oh, really? You've got 1 minute." Crazy cackled. "The Sparkly Mittin!" R.O.B. spat out. "Correct!" Crazy gasped. Sucker. As we were walking I asked R.O.B, "How did you know Crazy had a neice?" "She and I were classmates in my freshman year." R.O.B. explained. We stopped again. The next puzzle.
"Now for Puzzle 003!" Crazy announced. "We don't have time for your puzzles!" Bowser shouted. "Let's get out of here!" Mr. Game and Watch suggested. We took off running. "Arrgh! If you insist, but this won't be easy!" Crazy muttered. We skidded to a stop. All around us creatures that resembled a mixture of shadow Heartless and specters rose from the ground in swarms of thousands. Actually specters DO look like S.H. only giant with red eyes.
And we had to fight them. We gathered around in a large circle so we could take out more specter heartless. "See if you can handle all of them in time!" Crazy shouted. "Alright, I have and idea; don't defeat all of them, just take out enough so we can escape." Sora instructed. "CHARGE!" Luigi called out. With that we disbanded and ran toward them. In the distance Crazy laughed at the sight of destruction.
I leaped as high as I could and I destroyed them by jumped on there heads, richocheted off them and hitting other S.H. This also made a good way to escape. The others followed suit. They all did great, especially Luigi. But Peach was struggling a bit. "This is great! We'll be outta here in no time!" Sonic laughed. "WWHHEE! This is funner then flying!" R.O.B. exclaimed.
"Guys! Look up ahead!" I cried. There was and endless sea of S.H! "Oh, no! We'll never make it!" Luigi screamed. "Oh, yes we will!" I grunted. Now I was jumping on and off so fast I was right next to Sonic! "Hey! I think we're nearly there!" he gasped. We were jumping so fast we did get to the other side. But we all fell face first on the ground. We got up to see we destroyed all of them. "Wow! That must be a new record!" Ness sighed. "Yeah, well let's get going." Link replied. Despite our exhaustion we continued running.
"What? How did you get past all of my specters?" Crazy asked. "We're not telling you!" I answered. Crazy said nothing else. "We're REALLY close to the source!" R.O.B. confirmed. "Oh, you're really close!" Crazy snickered. I wonder what he meant by that. "We're here!" Sonic gasped. We skidded to a stop. "How do you know?" I asked. "Look up." Sonic answered. We looked up and saw the source was Crazy!
