Please for give me for the uncharacteristically late update! My Internet's been very finicky lately, and I'm just able to upload RIGHT NOW! Ugh! I'll try to get this chapter and the next up tonight, but you guys have to understand that this is difficult work.

It wasn't long before Link, Sonic, Donkey Kong, Spyro, and Crash met up with Mario and Kirby.

"I can't believe your plan worked, Link." said Sonic.

"Don't celebrate yet, we still have to rescue Zelda and Samus." said Link.

Then, they found the cell that held Zelda and Samus. Both were pretty happy to see the seven heroes; then Zelda saw something out of the corner of her eye; it was a really huge axe. (By that I mean the weapon, and not anything that could be used as a rude slang word for anything.)

"Link, behind you!" she shouted.

Link turned around and brought up his sword to block the attack just in the nick of time.

"Talk about close calls." said Samus.

"A bit-a too close." said Mario.

Then, Kirby found the guy who threw the ax and brought him over to the others.

"It seems that Ganondorf has sent in the second Shadow Brother, the Shadow Executioner." said Samus.

"You know Executioner's name?" Executioner asked.

"That nut Bowser has been asking Ganondorf to have you kill me all year; it was a bit of luck that Ganondorf said no. Though it looks like he sent you out as some sort of trial." said Samus.

"The second of three, but Ganon doesn't think you'll get past Executioner, 'cause when Executioner's done with you, your heads will be Executioner's trophies."

"I can tell this guy got proper education." Spyro said sarcastically.

It took a while, but Link was finally able to land just a scratch on the Executioner, though to him, it was more like a wound, and he began to freak out.

"OOOOOUUUUCCCHH! Oh, Executioner's dying; Tall-Guy-with-sword got me." said Executioner.

"Um, Executioner, you were just scratched, and it wasn't even that deep." said Link.

"Oh, well, Executioner's still going to kill you."

"You guys go save the princess and robot warrior, I'll handle the Shadow Dork." said Spyro.

"I'm not a robot!" said Samus.

"Eager to die, is little purple Dragon Guy. Well, Executioner will cut him down to very tiny."

"You really need to get some sort of remediation! Seriously, this is an indictment of our education system! (That's exactly what I was going to say!)

Link tried to pick the lock with his sword, but it didn't work.

"Hey, we're lucky it didn't break." said Zelda. (It's the friggin' MASTER SWORD! A lock's not going to break it!)

Then, Donkey Kong tried smashing the bars, but it didn't do anything, except give him a really bad knuckle ache.

"Idiots, Ganon made bars super strong. You can't crush outside." said Executioner.

"Hmmm. Link, I have an idea." said Zelda.

"I'm all ears." said Link.

"You and the others try to hold off the Executioner while Samus charges her arm cannon."

"That has to be the most dangerous idea that I've ever heard, though it's so crazy that it just might work." (How can that be more dangerous than storming the castle with an army of SEVEN?)

Link told the other five heroes to go help Spyro, while he could find the Executioner's only weak spot. Using his special Wolf Vision, he was able to find that the only weak spot was behind his left ear. So he took out his sword and struck him right behind the left ear.

"AAAAHHHH! No, Executioner can't be beaten, not by a guy with gold hair!" Executioner shouted.

"Oh will you just shut up?" Samus asked as she fired her most powerful laser ever: the Zero Laser. (You guys should know where this is heading ;) The blast was so strong, it sent the Executioner straight through the wall, right before he disintegrated into ashes.

"Uh, finally, I thought he'd never shut up." Samus said as her robotic armor began to fall apart. (You Metroid fanboys can now thank me for doing this.)

As the rest of her Power Suit fell off, the seven heroes were amazed to see that Samus was actually a tall, blonde-haired woman in a blue jumpsuit.

"Looks like I now understand the expression 'don't judge a book by its cover.'" said Sonic.

"No kidding." said Kirby.

"Well, in case you guys are done staring at Samus' true form, we have a small clue on what Ganondorf is up to." said Zelda. (Who all thought that Zelda was going to say "Samus's boobs?" *everyone in the audience, even the guy who looks like me, raises their hand* Yeah, I think I might be just as pervy as the rest of the Internet.)

"I wasn't staring at Samus at all." said Link, which Samus didn't like. (Uh, I can't tell if he's being sarcastic or not. I mean, I assume he's trying to be faithful to Zelda, but seriously ANY guy would want to ogle Samus for nearly HOURS!)

"Wait what time is it?" Samus asked.

But her question was answered when Zant said something on the intercom: "11:00 A.M. Lunchtime!"

"Uh-oh." said Zelda. Then, the floor under Zelda and Samus disappeared, plunging them into a seemingly bottomless pit.

"NO! We have to go after them." said Link.

"WHAT? That's suicide. There could be dangerous spikes at the bottom, or some other cliché trap." said Donkey Kong. (I can't believe my 11-year-old self actually wrote that! Maybe I wasn't so bad after all.)

"I don't care. I'm not about to let Zelda die."

Then, Link jumped into the pit. Mario hesitated a little, but he followed him. Soon, all the other heroes were falling down into the really dark, really deep, and really smelly, almost bottomless pit.

Okay, looks like this is it for today. I'm going to try to get the next chapter up tomorrow, but this is all I can manage.

Remember to review, and I'll see you guys later.
