THE THIRD CHAPTER----- MUHAHAHAHHAHA

The searing winds in their cell in Bowser's Keep became almost unbearable as Kirby mad an effort to cover his eyes with his stubby hands. Link pulled his tunic over his eyes. Mario had been generating flames in his palm for what seemed an eternity now, and even Yoshi's star power began to fade gradually. Toad, who had just been able to make contact with the future, was interrupted by screaming. Link had gone on a rampage. "DAMN YOU ASH! YOU ARE A SHITBAG THAT..." Mario had sprung up and brought Link to the ground. "You must have faith in your allies!" He said reassuringly. "He's not my ally! All he's ever done to me is slug me and steal my girl! Now he's going to kill us all!" Link was almost panting as he had managed to fit this all in one breath. Toad straitened his face and went back. "Ash cannot let us down. He has the strength of an ox, granted to him by the stars!" Link had a bitter humorous look on his face when he came back with "Well, what about those elite assassins Yoshi heard? What are we gonna do about that?" Yoshi had slightly blinked from the mention of his name. "Hope for the best!" Yoshi said with a playful voice. "If only I was as optimistic as you Yoshi..." Murmured Link as he drifted into a rough sleep.

Ash and Misty had reached Sakatu, the desert of 6000 deaths. There were several decreases in the sand, in which Ash did his best to avoid, because Bowser must had put some traps here. You see, Bowser's Final Keep was seated on the top of the Crystal Template by supports. So to reach it, you must cross the desert of Sakatu, climb to the top of the Jagged Peaks, from there cross Goblin road, and then you'll end up in the city atop the mountains, Metropolan. On the top of the tallest building there's a ladder that leads to a floating part of land. From there, you follow it to the Koopa Template, a floating chunk of metal that provides a path to the Freeze Cap, the tallest and coldest mountain in the range. From there you should be able to get across a sneak path and past a hideous trap field to the entrance to the keep. Ash swore to himself after reading the map. "What?" asked Misty. "We have a long way to go." Said Ash with a discouraged tone in his voice. Sakatu had one way you could find your way to the end with. You had to follow the sand obelisks. It wasn't soon until Ash was greeted by a minion of Bowser. Ash readied his fists and told Misty to stand back. The minion lunged at him, the sword inches away from his gut. He landed his fist in his face. Screaming the guy doubled back. Ash ran towards him to find he was faking. The assassin was holding Ash to the ground, with a sword to his neck. Misty ran in and kicked him off. Ash's fists had heated up, and by know, they had caught fire. Imbedding his fist in the gut of the enemy made him cringe, but he had no time to scream as the fire consumed his body. "Come on! We need to hurry!" He yelled to Misty.

Bill McKoopa could see Ash running through the desert on top of a Jagged Peak. "You fools..." He thought to himself. He leaped around. He had to keep his distance from them so they did not find him. He was not sure if he could handle both, but near Bowser's Castle, he could with no problem. Horrified, he watched day by day as the crossed the peaks, Goblin Road, and had reached Metropolan. Bill McKoopa stalked them through the streets. He was wondering why they weren't stopping for the night as it neared 2 A.M. Finally, they stopped outside a building. Bill looked up. It was a gigantic building, and at the top there was a ladder leading to the floating ice land. "Of course..." He thought. But he had to reach the top before they did. Using his tail, he jumped up to the top of the building and darted up the ladder. He sat there waiting for them, and kept a good ways in front of them, but even he had his fears of this journey. Freeze cap was unbearably cold, and he didn't know what he would do about that.

Ash panted as he got near the top of the ladder. He then waited for Misty, but he was growing greatly tired. "How about we spend the night on the Koopa Template? Misty nodded, shivering in the night air. Ash wrapped his arms around her and his fiery fists were brought to a warm glow and Misty stopped shivering in the comfortable heat. Setting up for the night, Ash started to wonder about Link. They were bound to hate each other more now that he was no longer virgin, and neither was Misty. The thought was pushed out of his heads when a snowball hit his back. He could hear Misty giggling behind. Ash smiled lightly as the tent went up. Even he was getting a bit cold, so he brought his body temperature up by tightening his fists.

Meanwhile, the M.T.Y.L caged members were starting to panic as the week was half over. Ash had not arrived yet, and they had only three days left before they would either get blown into six million pieces, or surrender the world of Nintendo to B.B.G.G. And the worst thing was no one else in the world knew except Ash, but he was a little unclear on what was happening, so he couldn't effectively tell anyone about it. So, there they are in their private hell, but it's time to bring another elite into the story....

Black Yoshi, or, Diminous, awoke from a terrifying dream. Having such demonic powers had given him insane dreams. He wondered if it was worth living. He knew he appeared as a Yoshi, but was really a corrupted demon inside. Diminous often sought help in White Yoshi, Hinda. Her extorting powers could often keep the demons within at bay. But he knew something was wrong with the elites. He threw himself onto the floor and screamed at the floor. The demons were giving him extra problems tonight. He grabbed some powerful star remedy and gulped down the entire bottle. He could see it clearly now... Mario and the other four expert elites were in a cell. He backed off to see a window. He couldn't go back any further. He thought more... A cell. Captured. Crazed. Like he. Demons. Death. Bowser. Keep. It made sense now. Coming out of his trance, he immediately called up Luigi. "Luigi, Mario and the rest of the master elites were captured by Bowser and are in Bowser's final keep!" Diminous was panting by the end. "How do you know this?" asked Luigi inquisitively. Luigi had never trusted Diminous ever since there was one incident where his inner demon kicked in and almost ate Mario. "I dreamed off it..." Said the Black Yoshi in a diminishing tone. "I'll send a help party, but mark my words Diminous, if this is a trick, I'll..." Luigi couldn't finish. "They are in trouble! Help them!" Luigi hung up abruptly and organized a help party. Black Yoshi started into the darkened sky, then looked upon a mirror. In the mirror, he didn't see himself, but a... a... he didn't have time to gaze upon the demon within. He fainted.

Ash and Misty had head towards the coldest place on the planet. Ash had not need to worry, for he could raise his body temperature, but he worried about Misty, for she had no other way of staying warm. He thought he could just hold her the entire way, giving off lots of body heat. He smiled horninly to himself. He woke up Misty and began to pack. His mind kept drifting back to Link, and hoped everything would be ok. He still knew he would want to brag a little, but then he realized something. Link really loved Misty. Sex was a pretty heavy deal as well, as it sort of abolished all hoped for Link. Ash could feel a sweat drop in the freezing cold weather. He might never be able to talk to him again, but his train of thought was interrupted by Misty running up behind him and throwing her arms around his waist. "Sssoosososososo cold!" she stammered as her grip tightened around Ash. He raised his body heat and Misty stopped shivering. He pulled her to his side. "We're gonna take this one step at a time." He told her. Misty clung on a little tighter and said "ok." The "one step at a time" thing was forgotten when Ash started darting through the blizzard capital with Misty on his back, only to be tripped by a long red tail. Ash didn't have time to see his tripper, but he had already whipped Misty in the face, or somewhere fragile, because he could hear a scream and blood splashed onto his face. Jumping to his feet, he ran after the assailant. He could hear Misty's moans from behind, and couldn't leave her. "Misty!" he yelled as he ran to her. She had a scar across her neck. "Oh god..." he thought as he stared at the wound. He cradled her in his arms and brought up his body temperature slightly. Between gasps, she was able to say it was a Yoshi, but Ash wasn't able to make out what she was saying. "Just hold on Misty, once were out of the blizzard, I can fix your wounds." He flung her over his back and ran the rest of the way. Ash knew it would be the end unless he found help soon.
