Kazooie and The Crooked Mountains

Chapter ten

A witches end

When Kazooie came to her senses, she was standing in a dark, damp cave, she heard screaming coming from the somewhere on the other side, she was in Gruntildas Lair. And it sounded like grunty was the one who was screaming. Kazooie needed to get to Banjo, so she started running down the tunnel she had appeared in.

She came to a large room, there was a nest a wind eggs, a flight pad that was on a high ledge, a hole high up in the wall, a line of oddly shaped stalactites with hook formations on the tips, and a mole mound. "Ok bottle boy, what can you teach me?" Kazooie said as she walked up to the mound, Bottles stuck his head out and immediately looked at her with concern. "Are you ok? You look like someone tossed you off a cliff." Kazooie shot him a look that said "not know" and he immediately started teaching.

"So you see those hooks up there? You can walk across them like monkey bars, just jump when your near one and your feet things will attach to them like magnets, I don't know why but it works." He then jumped back into his mole hill and made his way home.so Kazooie looked around the room again, there were vines growing on the wall farthest from the flight pads but closest to the hooks, she walked towards it and climbed upwards, then jumped onto the hooks and walked across, then she dropped onto the flight pad.

'How do I do the flight reaction time thing again' she struggled to remember what Bottles had taught her at the beginning of her journey, it was hold your breath, and then force the blood to your head. That would be useful for flying through the hole in the wall, she jumped and took air, then made her way to the hole in the wall, then prepared to fly through, but it didn't work this time and she grazed her flight feathers and fell to the ground on the other side of the wall, she really screwed up this time, she wouldn't be able to fly for months because of that, but she was even closer to Banjo.

Kazooie climbed to her feet, her wings stung but she could get over that. The room in front of her was the final stretch, but someone was leaning on the wall, Kazooie thought for a second, but before she could ask who it was, he spoke. "Your not looking to good, you know?" It was Retro, Kazooie wondered what he had this time. "I come baring gifts, you might need them" and with that, a nest with a large golden feather, some grenade eggs, and a few honey combs appeared on the ground. Kazooie wasn't ready to fight grunty, but she was going to have to anyways. She grabbed everything she needed, and the single large golden feather, and made her way to the end of the tunnel she was standing in. At the end there was a hole in the ground, it sounded like the screaming was coming from down there.

Kazooie jumped down. The first thing she noticed was Banjo, he was on his knees with his arms chained behind his head, he wasn't moving, and there was blood on his shorts, Kazooie's heart stopped when she saw him like this, then she noticed Gruntilda, she was sitting on the ground looking at the wall, and for some reason she was screaming hierarchically. Then she turned around a little to look at her, her screaming turned into laughter as if she didn't know what she was doing.

"Stupid bird, you think you can win? I'll brake all your bones, while wearing your skin!"

That scared Kazooie more than anything else. "What did you do to him?" Kazooie gestured towards Banjo, grunty snickered and shrugged. That set Kazooie off, she wouldn't stand for anyone hurting Banjo. "You insignificant hag, I'll beat you down like every other time you've shown your face, you will regret everything you've ever done to…" then Gruntilda shot a spell at her, Kazooie jumped out of the way. "You talk to much, little brat, your going to regret ever saying that!" Kazooie threw a razor feather at grunty, it cut one of the cables on her robotic suit, causing the lights on the inside of her helmet to go out.

Grunty then screamed and shot more spells at Kazooie, all but one of them missed, Kazooie felt a wave of pain pulse through her body, she struggled to move, but she managed to swing her wing and launch another razor feather at grunty, this one shot through her torso, sparks started flying, but it wasn't enough to ruin her suit, grunty grabbed a metal bar and swung it at Kazooie, she rolled backwards and ducked behind a table, grunty's metal hat swung opened, it made a perfect place to shoot at. Kazooie spat a wind egg at her hat, which sent grunty flying through a stone stalagmite, more sparks flew around, but it still wasn't enough. Gruntilda struggled to her feet and blasted the table, Kazooie was sent that into the air and hit the ground next to Banjo. He opened his eyes and saw her lying on her side, obviously in pain. He tried to speak, but he couldn't think straight.

Kazooie got back up and ran to find cover again, she noticed a plait of metal had fallen off of Gruntilda's robot suit, she shot a grenade egg at the weakness and watched as Gruntilda's legs fell off, she screamed in anger "why can't I win? Hell what's the point, my final spell better not disappoint" Banjo watched in horror as Gruntilda raised her hands and started creating I reddish ora, it surrounded Kazooie and she started coughing, but then there was a brilliant golden glow, and it started Moving towards grunty. "What are you doing you stupid bird, you'll kill both of us, you no good turd" then there was an extraordinary explosion, a piece of shrapnel cut through the chains the held Banjo captive, a flashing red and yellow slowly stopped. And Banjo was free.

Banjo slowly stumbled onto his feet, he looked around for Kazooie, but when he saw her, his heart broke, she was lying in a crater, her eyes were closed sand her chest was still, she looked dead. Banjo ran down to her with whatever energy he had left and sat beside her, he scoped her into his arms and listened for a heartbeat, nothing. "No no no no no your not dying on me, don't you leave me here" he was panicking, he put her down and started pressing on her chest. CPR, she needed CPR, he put presser on her chest, nothing, he wasn't going to let her die, he opened her beak and gave her mouth to mouth, then kept pushing, after three repeats, he stopped and scoped her into his arms again. He put his head on her shoulder and started crying.

"Why did you do that?" He couldn't handle the death of his best friend. Then something touched his back. "I really don't know why" Kazooie said, her voice was groggy, she was weak and unaware of what just happened. Banjo heard her voice and looked at her head, she was half awake, her eyes were slightly opened, and she looked confused. "Oh my god, your alive, I.. I have so much to tell you" Banjo hugged her tightly "wait, is my beak wet?" Banjo blushed a little bit. "Kazooie, you umm, I kinda needed to give you CPR, you were dead." Kazooie's eyes immediately shot opened, did Banjo give her mouth to mouth? "I was dead? And you brought me back to life?" Kazooie looked at him with a look of admiration. "I couldn't live without you, I'm sorry it came to that but.. it's just that I.. I…"

Kazooie looked him in the eye, was he finally going to confess? "Kazooie I love you, and I don't know where I'd be if you weren't in my life, I don't care if you don't feel the same, I just wanted to put it out there." Kazooie looked him in the eye, he thought for a second that he upset her, he was going to apologize but she rapped her wings around him, she then put her head on his chest and said. "Do you really mean that?" She tried to sound surprised, and she nailed it. "Wait, you aren't mad, or scared, you don't want to get as far away from me as you possibly can?" Kazooie smiled. "I think I feel the same, no, I know I feel the same"

Banjo sat there with Kazooie in his arms feeling like the happiest bear in the world, Kazooie felt like her journey was worth everything she went through, so they both just sat there, in each other's grasp.

Yay, I finally finished it, I might do a epilogue, but that's completely up to the reaction this chapter gets.

I want to say I wasn't sure how long it would take to finish this, but this isn't my best work either.

Concerning The Final Showdown, I'm not sure it's going to be continued, maybe in the near future, but it's not next on my project list.

Don't forget to review, and also, tell me your favourite part of this fiction.

Peace
