Chapter 3: On Thin Ice

{In case you haven't figured it out, I am now about to introduce a group of characters called Ice Climbers. I unfortunately never heard of them before Melee, so here's my attempt at another chapter.}

Infinity Mountain was extremely treacherous today, yet a brother/sister duo was out there climbing the mountain. Popo, the brother had more experience on Infinity Mountain than his sister. Nana was tied to Popo by only a small rope. Popo always looked out for his sister, but she would always cover his back. "POPO!!" cried out Nana into the howling wind. Popo turned around to find his sister surrounded by Yogi. Popo went into a rage. He took out his hammer and smashed a few of the Yogi into a snowdrift. Nana ran behind her brother for cover, as the remainder of the Yogi were ready to attack.

Popo shouted to his sister, "You ready Nana?"

"Yeah!" she replied with enthusiasm. They began to charge straight into the Yogi. Moments before they collided with them, both Popo and Nana pulled out their hammers and went into a spinning frenzy. One lone Yogi was left. It looked around and began to run.

"Oh no you don't!" Popo took a block of ice and smacked it with his hammer right at the Yogi. He turned his head just in time to see the block of ice as it smashed him into the distance.

"Nice shot, good thing I don't challenge you to golf," Nana was proud of her brother. He was fearless, and she tried hard to keep up with him but sometimes could not.

Then the heard a rumbling in the distance. Popo looked up to see walls of icy snow come toward them, "AVALANCHE!!" Nana knew it was time to run. They began racing to the top of the mountain. The avalanche was getting closer, but they continued to jump up the mountain. "Look. There's a cave over there." They performed one more jump and they were safe in a cave as the avalanche ran past the cave, almost blocking them in.

Nana was just about out of breath, "That was a close one."

Popo readied his hammer, "We're not out of the cold just yet." A Polar Bear emerged read to strike. Nana and Popo began to charge an attack. The Polar Bear was in range of clawing at Popo, when they released an attack. Icy breath made a deadly barrier as the Polar Bear soon found out as he froze into an icy cage. "Polar Bearsicle, not exactly the best treat in the world but it'll do." They left the cave and continued their accent up the mountain. As they made their way to the top, they noticed a large hole in the sky. Popo was ready for action, "I don't know what that thing is but it can't be good.

Nana knew they were going to have their hands full, "Well if we have too."



At the top of the mountain, the Master Hand and Crazy Hand entered the icy world, "It's times like this I wish I had a warmer lining." The Master hand began to extract the coldest ice from the mountain.

"STOP!" shouted two voices from below.

"Hmmm?" The crazy hand looked around and ended up being uppercut by two hammers. He looked down upon two small children, "How dare you insolent children strike me with your hammers." The Master Hand continued to extract the ice.

"You cannot extract the ice from this mountain, a huge avalanche will cover the local villages."

"Silence! I shall have silence!" The crazy hand floated above them, and from his hands came a barrage of bombes, knocking Popo and Nana on their feet. Then he grabbed them, "We better not risk anymore distractions. Bring the mountain with us." The Master Hand stopped what he was doing. He began to increase the vortex's pull. The mountain rose from the ground and after a few minutes was sucked into the vortex. The Master Hand entered the vortex followed behind by the Crazy hand and his two prisoners.



Back in the abyss, the male/female wire frames infused Bowser's chains with the coldest ice of the mountain. The mountain was placed on the large table. It barely took up any room, but it was rather tall. The brother/sister duo was placed in a cage, made out of strong titanium alloy. The Crazy Hand looked down upon them, "They shall pay for their insolence."

"But they are just children, they only dealt you eight damage," The Master hand might have been cruel, but not that cruel.

"They shall pay anyway. You have no right to question my authority! If you wish to remain healthy, dear brother, I suggest you co-operate with my demands and take me to this next world!" The Master Hand opened up the next portal and in they went, To a land known as Hyrule.
