Heya, I don't own SSB but that's okay!
Chapter 8
Home in the Clouds
It was a beautiful day. Bright and sunny, nice and warm. Ah yes...this was a great summer day...a fine day.
Hard to believe something horrible could happen at any second...-_-
Five days had passed since the day Mamaho had taught us how to fly. The morning after the day we'd first encountered the strange man, I spoke with Salem. We met up in my forest training area and I taught him how to fly. He caught on pretty quickly, not seeming to fazed but obviously looking very pleased. Then, for the next 4 days, we had been practicing the technique on our own time. It took up quite a bit of energy, tiring us out quickly, but we got better after every attempt. On the fifth day of training, we decided we were ready to journey to follow Mamaho's advice. We were going to try to fly up into the clouds above the hospital building. I had my doubts of this 'home' of Mamaho's existance as I waited on top of the hospital building, already transformed. Salem was leaning against a large concrete uprising on the roof, his arms crossed. He looked very irritated.
Salem: Where the hell is Steve?! Why can't he be on time for once?!
Raising an eyebrow, I replied for the third time:
Dust: He'll be here, so stop complaining.
A few minutes later, we could see the red figure of Steve flying towards us. He slowly stopped above the building and quickly hovered down to the rock and concrete roof itself. He landed, but a little too fast. He folded his left ankle and fell over, cringing and cursing from the unexpected result of landing.
Steve: AH, SHIT!!
` I had a couple of laughs from it and Salem smirked amusedly.
Dust: Slow down man, you might hurt yourself. Heh heh.
Steve shot me the middle finger, and Salem stepped away from the concrete uprising he was leaning on.
Salem: If your through with bickering, can we go now? Or does someone need a fricken foot rub?!
Dust: *Sigh* Okay Salem, let's head out.
We concentrated our energy and blasted into the air, letting off little waves of energy from our feet as we departed into the slightly cloudy sky. We weren't moving that fast, but we were moving upwards.
Dust: [Geez, and I'm the guy who is terrified of heights!]
We flew for about ten minutes and found nothing but freezing clouds formations that surrounded us and the occasional bird that flew by. We were all starting to get impatient and tired. Flying was hard work and took a lot out of you. Sweat poured down my forehead and I started to see black spots. Salem growled, and spread his arms in anger.
Salem: Where the hell is his house?! I'm not going to stay up here forever!
I turned to him, glaring a bit.
Dust: Look Salem, we're all tired, so stop complaining okay?!
Salem turned away.
Salem: I'm not tired...I'm just beginning to think this is a load of bullshit!
Dust: Oh yeah? Well then how did we know how-
Steve interrupted with some useful updates. He rubbed his head from bumping into something.
Steve: I found something, and it's not a cloud. -_-
He reached forward and touched gray stone. It was barely visible, surrounded by a white mist. Steve felt around the stone and started to fly up in a diagonal direction, following the direction the stone went as he kept his hand on it. We followed Steve, eager to find something.
Steve: Hey, check it out!
Salem's eyes widened and my jaw dropped at what we saw. We'd found the top of this stone structure, and it was beautiful. The bottom of this floating structure was just gray stone, but the top was really something else. There were palm trees lined parallel to each other, as if making a pathway. A huge palace overlooked everything, and there was a beautiful fountain in the center of a large empty space of beautifully tiled white floor. The fountains water looked so fresh and pure, you probably could have used it to cure high fever. Little sheds and other structures we didn't recognize were around this platform. It had to be about the size of a semi football field in diameter.
Dust: Wow...this is a nice place, huh?
Salem: Hmph...let's go find Mamahuh and train. I just hope it's worth it.
We ignored Salem's comment and landed slowly on the delicate tiled floor. Steve slowly led the way, with Salem and I following behind. I wanted to see everything I could on this beautiful sky home.
Dust: Wow, this is so nice...I'd love to live here! ^_^
Steve: Heh, it'd be hard to get a pizza.
Salem stopped walking. It took us a moment to realize he'd froze. Steve and I turned to him.
Steve: Umm, you comin' or do we need to get you a leash?
Salem shot a glance to the left.
Dust: Sa-?
Salem: Quiet you fools!
We all shutup and listened closely. I could hear the wind howling through the sweet smelling palm trees, but nothing more. Then-
Dust: Whoa!
We could hear the sounds of heavy footfalls. They were slow, but loud and powerful. The ground vibrated heavily with each distant step. They got louder with each one. I spun around frantically, along with Steve and Salem. We saw nothing.
Steve: Wha?!...What is it?!
Then, it came out from behind a large shed that looked like your typical wooden toolshed. It wore a weird looking animal skin from the looks of it, and blinked angrily with its one eye. It must've been the size of a tank, and twice as powerful. Brandishing a large brown club, this monstrosity boomed towards us. All we could do was watch in horror as it came towards us.
Salem: Uh?!
Steve: What is that?!
Dust: ...o.O?! Get out of it's way!!
We dove just in time out of this large creatures way. He stopped dead and turned, growling and grunting. I hovered in the air and stared at the monster before us.
Dust: Uh?
To our surprise it spoke, it's voice scratchy and clogged like an old man with a loud voice and a sinus congestion...
Monster: I be...I are Forgo, mean old ogre!!! I are going to crush you now!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
We all kind of sweatdropped. The big ogre was indeed horrifying, his yellow skinned muscles rippling and his red veins pumping. He swung his club threateningly at us.
Salem: Heh, well then...maybe this won't be such a big disappointment!
We got ready, not having much choice. The monster charged for us, his club ready to strike on his first target.
Heya, I don't own SSB but that's okay!
