Hey guys! I'm back with another chapter! This will be the last part of the "Ocarina Search" story arc, just so you know. Okay, let's begin! Enjoy!
Chapter 24: Ocarina Search pt 6
"Guys...I don't like this idea!" Fox whimpered in fright. He was still stuck in the garbantula web. All around him, many of Link's bombs were stuck to it as well, their fuzes lit.
"Just stay calm, Fox!" Mario shouted to the pilot. Him and the others stood many feet away, hiding behind a boulder. "This plan is bound to work!"
Fox began to chuckle nervously which turned into a sob of terror.
The fuzes of the bombs then completely burned out. A couple yards away, the loud explosion could be heard along with Fox's scream of pain. At the sound of it, Frost's head popped from a bush and looked around curiously.
"What was that?" She asked. Next to her, Pichu's head popped out as well.
"I have no idea." The little pokemon replied. "But I don't really care at the moment." A little ways away, Mighty, Lauren, Kirby, and Yoshi with Warrior Kitty on his back emerged from the undergrowth.
"Any luck?" Frost asked them, stepping out of the bush.
Mighty sighed and shook her head. "No. There's no sign of them anywhere."
"We looked in every possible spot." Lauren added. "They're no where."
"Should we just give up?" Kirby asked.
"We can't!" Pichu argued. "Light and Sonic have to be somewhere in this forest. We just gotta keep trying!"
"What does it matter?!" Warrior Kitty spat bitterly. "We'll never find them! And there's only me to blame for it!"
"Seriously! You have to stop blaming yourself!" Frost said to the sylveon. Before that argument could start again, the bushes began to rustle. The kids froze up and looked at it in terror, thinking that the skarmory had returned. But, to their surprise, the head of a familiar mega absol popped out and smiled at them.
"Hey guys!" She said.
The others smiled widely in delight. "Light!" They shouted in unison and rushed to their friend and group hugged her.
"You're okay! We were so worried about you!" Mighty said.
"We were starting to give up." Lauren said.
"I thought we wouldn't find you." Warrior Kitty said solemnly, limping up to the mega absol. "And it would've been my fault."
Light tilted her head and looked at the sylveon in confusion. "Why would you think it was your fault?"
"I should've been able to stand up for myself." Warrior Kitty replied. "But I couldn't. I was weak. So you and Sonic had to endure that instead of me. After all, it was me that caused the skarmory to show up in the first place. Hell, I mean, look at me! I can't even walk on my own!"
Light smiled and walked up to Warrior Kitty. "Hey, don't say all that. You can't help that you were injured; it isn't even your fault that you are! It's Sara's. I only helped because I wanted to, not because I didn't think you couldn't. And I'm sure Sonic did it for the same reason. That's what friends are for."
Warrior Kitty looked at her and smiled gratefully. "Thanks." Then, a questioning look came on her face. "Speaking of which, where is Sonic?"
Then, more rustling sounded from the bushes and they all turned to see a large blue head of some sort of hedgehog-looking beast poke out and look at them. Everyone's, except for Light, hearts nearly stopped at the sight of the creature.
"Holy son of a nabbit, what is that?!" Yoshi shouted in horror.
"KILL IT!" Pichu shrieked. "KILL IT WITH FIRE!" Frost then picked up Mighty and pulled on her tails, causing fire to spew from her mouth like a flame thrower.
The beast yipped in fright and his behind Light. "Woah! Woah! Guys it's okay! It's just Sonic!" The mega absol said with panic.
"That is Sonic?!" Kirby asked in disbelief.
"Yes! It's me!" Sonic said in fright, still cowering behind Light, though the funny thing was, he was larger than Light, so he looked kinda stupid hiding behind her. Warrior Kitty looked at him carefully and realization dawned on her.
"That is Sonic!" She told them. "He's just in his werehog form."
"Oh! Now I recognize him." Frost smiled.
"Me too!" Mighty agreed.
"Same." Lauren added.
"Excuse me." Pichu butted in. "But what the heck is a werehog and how did Sonic turn into one?" Yoshi and Kirby nodded, clearly wanting to know as well.
"Well, I thought you'd never ask!" Light smiled then put on a random pair of geek glasses. "Gather around children, this is a lesson from Professor Light." Sonic sighed as Pichu, Yoshi, and Kirby gathered around her to listen to her lecture. As Light informed them about the biology of werehogs, Frost, Warrior Kitty, Mighty, and Lauren walked to where the adults were still trying to free Fox from the web.
The vulpine was burned from the many bombs that failed to free him. Ike, Falco, Pikachu, and Mario stood and watched as Link tried cutting the web with his sword.
"Ever so gently now..." The hylian mumbled.
"Link, I don't think it's gonna-"
"It will work." Link interrupted Pikachu. "The Master Sword is bound to cut anything." Just then, the stiffness of the web was too strong and the Master Sword ended up snapping in half. Everyone stared at it for about ten seconds until Link began to cry. "FI! NOOOOO!"
He picked up the broken half and began to panic. "I just need some duct tape! Some really strong duct tape!" He started rummaging through Pikachu's bag of supplies for the tape.
Mario sighed in annoyance. "Now what?"
"Guys! Light and Sonic are back!" Mighty shouted in excitement as she and the other three walked up to them.
"Not now!" Ike said to them. "Can't you see we're busy trying to get Fox out of this web!" Frost looked at them bluntly and walked up to the stuck pilot. Her claw began to glow and she used Dragon Claw and sliced the vulpine out of the web, causing him to fall face first on the ground.
"There, problem solved." She smirked as the adults stared at her in disbelief.
"Seriously?!" Falco snapped. "Why couldn't you have done that before?!"
"Just drop it." Pikachu said to him and faced the girls. "Now what did you say about Light and Sonic?" To answer his question, Light, Pichu, Yoshi, and Kirby emerged from the bushes.
"They came back!" Mario said in relief. Then, Sonic emerged from the bushes after the kids. Seeing him, of course, the adults flipped.
"What the hell is that?!" Fox shouted.
"Slay the beast!" Ike shouted as he pulled out his sword, Mario readied fireballs, electricity sprouted from Pikachu, Fox and Falco pointed their blasters, and Link ran up with his duct taped sword out.
"Calm down! It's Sonic!" Light said to them.
"How is that Sonic?" Falco asked. As Light began to explain all that has happened while she and Sonic were gone, the adults began to relax. She the told them how they found the item for the Forest and took out the Ocarina of Time, which Link was thrilled to see. Sonic then dropped Pit, Toony, and Luigi (he was carrying them this whole time), all three still knocked out. They decided to think about restoring them when they woke up and then began to plan out about their next expedition for the final item, which you all already know where it will be.
Subspace.
The final search for the last item is now here and then you guessed it, the final fight with Sara will come. But, I do have some events that will happen between those two major ones, but I'm not spoiling! ;P
Thank you all for reading! The next chapter will be up soon! See ya!
