Well another chapter, it's a little better than the last chapter but that
is only my opinion. Thanks to bUgBiTe for that review, those are the type
of reviews that give me determination to get a chapter finished, just like
this one.
Chapter 17: Brinstar
Yoshi felt as if someone was shinning a flashlight directly into his eyes, the light was only momentary though, and he was also starting to feel normal again. Yoshi was no longer at the temple ruins. The area was no longer outside but once again inside and apparently underground, Yoshi could make out some gray walls that were very far away. He was standing on a large hovering rock about seventy feet in the air. The rock was thin and about thirty feet across. It seemed to have statues and stones with symbols that looked quite old, as if from an ancient civilization. Yoshi examined the platform a bit more. And found that it had some machinery and glowing bulbs in it, whatever they were used for was unknown. What stood out the most about the platform was that it seemed to not just have machinery built into it, but organic...things as well. It appeared that there were all kinds of organic materials holding the platform together; the platform would probably fall apart without them. There was the a fleshy ball with three large appendages that seemed to be connected to the bottom of the rock, many eggs that seemed to be connecting one third of the platform to the other two thirds, and there were two fleshy columns about eight feet high on each end of the platform. Each column seemed to be connecting the edge of the platform to another small metal platform; the columns were attached to the underside edges of the smaller metal platforms so that the rest of the platform was sticking out and away from the larger platform. Yoshi looked below the platform, far, far below, he could see something that would make any one feel uncomfortable, no ground, just yellow-green water. And by the airs temperature, strange smell, and steam rising out of the water it could only be one thing, acid. Very bad acid, perhaps worse than sulfuric acid, the kind that is just as dangerous as a swimming in a pool full of hungry piranhas with an open wound.
Yoshi heard some kind of gun fire, when he looked up to one of the platforms he saw a person in a red, orange, and yellow mechanical space armor suit. The person was firing missiles at something in the distance; Yoshi looked out and saw what looked to be an extremely large brain hanging high over the acid. A few missiles hit the brain and began looking agitated, Yoshi looked at the person a bit more carefully, and he recognized it to be Samus Aran, the female bounty hunter from the last tournament, he decided to call out to her.
"Hey Samus!" Yoshi shouted Samus turned to Yoshi and pointed her gun at him.
"I wont allow anyone to interfere with my mission!" Then she fired a missile at Yoshi which he rolled out of the way to avoid being blown up.
"You think I would learn from the last few times that nobody recognizes me anymore and that they are bound to attack but nooooooo, I have to call out to them and be reminded that they are trying to kill me." Yoshi thought, realizing that things are starting to repeat.
Samus shot another missile at Yoshi, which he dodged, then Yoshi ran towards Samus, Samus jumped backwards intending to land on the left most platform. Yoshi jumped with her intending to slam her down, but she beat him to it and she slammed Yoshi straight down with her arm gun. Yoshi landed on his back and looked up to see Samus standing on the platform above him, with her arm gun pointing straight at him. Yoshi knew she was about to fire but he couldn't get up fast enough, then he saw the platform was being held down by one of the fleshy columns. Just as Samus was about to fire Yoshi lashed at the column with his tail, tearing through the column and sending the platform falling. Samus lost balance and began to fall; the missile was redirected towards the large brain instead of Yoshi. Yoshi watched as Samus continued to fall, to the acid but when she hit, she fell through it like there was no surface at all. Was there really acid? Or was that a real Samus Aran?
Yoshi had little time to think, he heard an explosion, probably the missile hitting the brain, but then there was a loud siren going off, and the place began to shake, rocks began coming down from the ceiling, the place was falling apart! Yoshi looked for an escape and found something that wasn't there before, a circular tube with a round blue door. Desperate Yoshi touched the tube and seemed to be teleported to another underground area. Yoshi could still hear the siren and looked out, he saw a big piece of machinery that seemed to be built into the walls. It had flashing red lights and had words reading: Red Alert. Self Destruct sequence in 60 seconds...59...58...
Yoshi gasped at this and looked for any means of escape, the front and backs were dead ends, Yoshi looked up and could see many platforms leading to some light, this was his only chance.
46...45...
Yoshi jumped and flutter jumped from platform to platform, trying to avoid being clobbered by the rocks that were falling from the ceiling.
37...36...
Yoshi was high up and almost at the light. He jumped towards a platform, but halfway to it a rock fell and destroyed the platform, Yoshi thought fast, Yoshi spun to face the platform he had just jumped from, and flutter jumped to another platform higher than the first. Yoshi was able to get his upper body onto it and pulled himself up.
29...28...
Yoshi jumped into the light and the hole he jumped through closed up. He was now standing in a room that looked like the space ship interior on the map. Yoshi could still hear the sirens blazing and the countdown becoming direr.
22...21...
Yoshi could see what looked like a control panel and pressed every button he could. There was a loud humming sound and the area began to vibrate, Yoshi continued to press the buttons.
16...15...
Yoshi saw a hologram reading: AUTO PILOT SET. PLEASE CONFIRM.
9...8...
Yoshi pressed every button as quickly as he could and felt a large jerk and felt the area he was on began moving.
5...4...
Yoshi looked out a one of the ships windows; he saw a dusty brown planet becoming smaller as the ship sped away from it.
2...1...0... The planet then became darker and large chasms beamed with and light erupted, then the planet exploded in a blaze of yellow. The ship luckily happened to be out of the planets large shockwave.
Yoshi looked out the window and saw passing stars. He was so confused; he had been confused for the last six months. What kind of test was this? Was there some kind of horrible mix-up? When will it end? Yoshi then thought about the situation and remembered the coin could be in the space ship. After looking for about five minutes, he found the coin in one of the cargo compartments. He scratched the next gray surface. After most of the gray surface was scratched off and the coin shattered into dust, Yoshi examined the next destination. The area was another floating platform, had a large tree with eyes and a mouth, two small floating platforms, and two platforms a each about half the size of the main platform on both sides of the large platform. The two half sized platforms were separated from the main platform by what looked like many small boxes. This was a rather strange area. Yoshi put the map away and rested for about half an hour, he was hungry and looked for something edible, but couldn't find anything. His attention was diverted to a ding sound and an automated voice:
Auto Pilot approaching destination of: Popstar, please prepare to land.
Yoshi walked up to the front window and could see a plant that looked like a large yellow star. Just then the automated voice came back, but this time it was louder, more urgent, and a siren was going off with it.
DANGER! FATAL ERROR HAS OCCOURED, LNADING GEAR MALFUNCTION, ENGINE MALFUNCTION, DANGER! DANGER!
"Damn it, why does it seem like now everything is trying to kill me?!" Yoshi shouted as his mind raced on what he could do to escape alive.
Well, I haven't yet started on the next chapter yet so, you may have to be patient again, and if you didn't like this chapter, sorry, it is probably going to be like that for a few more chapters. Its hard to write a logical theory on how the adventure mode works without tons of plot holes, and if you wrote one and it was easy, let me know, I would like to take a look.
