This chapter displays Clay's occasional clumsiness and his occasional bad luck. Since I stated before, Clay is based on me this makes sense as I tend to have rather rotten luck.

Chapter 12: Diddy Kong Racing Adventure 2 Part 2

Vivian's POV

As we searched the frozen mountains on he northern end of the island, Diddy began complaining about the cold. He said, "How is it you two aren't bothered by the cold!?" I then said, "I happe to have powers over fire. I can keep myself warm." Clay then said, "And I have ice powers. The cold doesn't bother me much anymore as a result." Clay reached into his backpack, and handed Diddy a sweater as well as a pair of snow pants. Diddy was still cold, but he felt a little better now.

I then asked Clay, "Do you remember where you hid it?" Clay then said, "Not really. You'd think I'd be able to remember something so importent. Besides we gotta kick those koopas off the island."

Then we heard a hyperactive sounding voice say, "That will be impossible, undoable, and futile! You shall fail, lose, find yourself unable to succeed!" Clay then said, "Ok Morton, I know that's you! Come out so we can turn you into Turtle Soup! And if you start talking like that when you pop up, I swear I'll throw you in the icy cold water!"

Morton appeared as Clay demanded. He looked similar to Bowser Jr., but he had no hair, and he had brown and tan colored scales that resembled tatoos. He also had a star-shaped mark on his face. He then said, "As you wish, desire, deman-" He didn't get the chance to finish his sentance as a boxing glove shot out from Clay's hammer, and hit Morton with so much force it knocked him clean over the mountains! As he flew away, he dropped a key which we assumed opened the cage to Morton's captive.

A few minutes later, we found the cage holding a large blue walrus who seemed to be dressed for a fancy party. He said in a very polite tone, "Thank heavens you kids came! Clay, it's been quite some time since you and Diddy were here last. I'm glad you were able to help us again like last time." Diddy then said, "No problem, it's what we do."

After we freed the Walrus, he said, "Ah, it's good to be free. Those kids said they were after the Crystal Star Clay hid on the island." I then said, "Clay has forgotten the exact location. Have you seen it by chance?" The walrus shook his head and said, "Sorry, I don't have the slightest idea where it could be." We were very dissapointed at this news. Then the Walrus said, "Oh, don't be too sad little ones. How about we have a race to cheer ourselves up? I do seem to remember Clay owes me a rematch after he bested me in our last race."

Clay froze up, but not due to the cold. He said, "Wha-, ME!? I might be an excellent racer, but my boat driving skills are much to be desired paisano." The Walrus then said, "Ho, ho, ho, don't worry. Just carry on like you did last time, and you'll do fine!" Clay was notcibly nervous. I then asked him, "Clay, whats wrong?" Clay then said, "Remember when I explained how bad I was at piloting a boat, or any kind of watercraft for that matter?" I then said, "Clay, you can't be that bad."

After much convincing, we got Clay to get into a hovercraft to race the Walrus down the mountain. Clay was still nervous as he said, "This is not gonna end well..." Diddy waved a checkered flag as he shouted, "GO!" Clay and the Walrus shot down the hill at high speed. I noticed Clay had a bit of trouble handling the controls on his boat. The Walrus passed him by, which got Clay to stop worrying and convinced him to catch up.

They then reached some very steep hills about halfway down the track, and that's when things began to get out of hand. Clay used a speed boost to try to fly over the hills, but he accidentally nudged the steering handles, causing him to swerve around in the air uncontrollably. Diddy then said, "Oh, I can't watch! This is exactly what happened last time!" Clay landed, and a series of giant snowballs began rolling towards him from the sides. He began turning even more frantically as he tried to avoide the large snowballs. I was now very worried about Clay. The man I love is going to get hurt, and it'll be my fault!

Eventually, Clay got out of the snowball field, but the Walrus was right behind him due to the amount of time Clay spent avoiding obsitcals. Finally the two were on the final straightaway as they had to race downhill at top speed to reach the finish line. However, Clay's boat hit a sharp piece of wood that pierced his boat's inflateable bottom. As soon as he heard that pop, Clay yelled, "OH FUCK!" As soon as he stopped talking, his boat shot into the air at the boat now looked like a baloon that was released into the air without being tied first.

The Walrus could only stop and watch helplessly as Clay was being thrown in every direction before crashing into a nearby cliff behind the finish line. The boat fell to the groud, with Clay slowly slipping down the icy wall afterward. I quickly ran up to see if he was ok, and luckelly he was still alive. Suddenly, a chunk of ice fell from the cliff Clay crashed into, and hit him on the head.

I then said, "Did this happen last time!?" I was very concerned as you could imagine. But the Walrus shook his head, then said, "No, last time he was moving so fast, he went straight through every snow bank leaving a hole in the shape of his full sillouette in each one."

I was now even more worried about him. With the Tiger Island Grand Prix starting soon, I was about to protest against him entering. Clay then got up, then said, said, "I remember where I hid the star!" He ran over to where the chunk of ice fell after it hit him on the head, and said, "Aha! Here it is! I forgot I encased the Garnet Star in ice before I hid it here!" He then held the Garnet Star in his had, but a mechanical claw shot out and swiped it! We then heard a psychotic voice say, "Thank you for finding the star for us, plumb scum! Now, watch as we escape with your precious treasure! Woohoohahehehahoo!" We then saw a koopa with wild blue hair in a Koopa Clown Car holding the Garnet Star.

Clay got up then said, "Ok, Ludwig! Hand over that star!" The koopa, who was identified as Ludwig Von Koopa, said, "If you want it back, you'll have to track us down first!" Ludwig flew away laughing like the psychopath he is. Diddy then said, "W-w-w-what do we do now!?" Clay reached into his pocket, pulled out a Super Leaf, and used it's power to become Racoon Clay. He grabbed hold of me and Diddy, then said, "Right now, we fly! Hang on!"

Clay took off into the air with Diddy and I held securly in his grasp. We chased Ludwig until we came to a series of small islets off the coast of Tiger Track Island. Clay then said, "So, they're hiding on Sherbet Archapelego eh? I hope Timber, Tiptup, and Pipsy are ok." We landed as we began searching for wherever that creepy koopa ran off to.

To be continued...

Sorry about the harsh profanity I used. But what else would you say if you were in Clay's situation? How did you like the timing I used on the insanity that occured in this chapter? PleaseR&R.
