Wow. That last chapter was almost 1,000 words. So close. Oh well. At least I reached 100 reviews. Now for Chapter 9.

Luigi had a problem. A very frustrating problem. A problem so large, the entire experiment would come to a grinding, painful halt.

Samus's door was voice-activated.

"Samus! Let me in! Please?" Luigi cried out in desperation.

Samus didn't answer.

"I'll break it down if I have to!"

No answer.

"Okay!" Luigi took 10 steps back. "I'm gonna do it!"

No answer.

"Here I go!"

No answer.

"You'll be sorry!"

With the final silence, Luigi made a high-pitched, war-cryish scream, charged toward the metallic door, and tackled it shoulder-first. He fell several feet back.

He couldn't feel his arm.

"Oh, brilliant…SAMUS! LET ME IN!" he yelled with a sob.

"Are you an idiot?" Samus asked from inside.

"I hope not."

"I'm not letting you in."

"Why not?"

Samus sighed, frustrated.

"You're trying to spray me with that thing."

"Well, duh! But why can't I come in?"

"You're a dumbass."

Luigi growled.

"You have to come out of there eventually. You do have to eat."

"I have my own food, for situations like this."

"Bathe?"

"We all have our own bathrooms."

"Play?"

"Goodbye."

"I won't give up! I'll find some way to get you infatuated!"

And with that, Luigi ran off, crying. Samus made a sigh of relief.

"About damn time. I swear, he needs a life."

Samus approached her awesome door (which I wish I had) and it automatically opened. As soon as her entire head was out of the room, Luigi pounced on her and sprayed her. Samus coughed a few times. Luigi backflipped off her and stayed back. Samus quickly stood up and ran back into her room. Luigi could hear a suction-y sound, and 9 seconds after that, Samus's starship was flying toward that damn mountain.

"That's gonna be some confrontation…I wanna see it so bad…" Luigi lowered his head in sadness. "Okay then!" he said with sudden cheer. "Who should be tested on next? Um…ooh! Mr. Game & Watch!"


Meanwhile…

"I finally made it to the mountain. But…hey! Where'd I get this scooter from?"

Link, like he said, finally made it to the mountain, and finally realized that he was supposed to be using something else besides a scooter. A motorcycle. Link shrugged it off and proceeded to climb up the side. As he climbed, dirty thoughts raided his mind. Mewtwo, Zelda, Roy, and Peach in one place. What drove Zelda to this? Is this all of the people? (You know the answer to that.) Would Zelda take him back? What exactly was going on up there?

Link shuddered at the thought, but he couldn't shake it, so he kept shuddering and eventually fell on his butt.

"Ouch."

At this point, he could hear Samus's starship flying overhead. It landed on a coincidentally placed flat area. Samus jumped out and rushed into the cave she landed in front of. While watching all of this, Link discovered a spiraled path leading up to the aforementioned area.

"Oh."

Link walked up the path. Now he could climb and shudder all at once.

He's almost there…we'll see what happens when the total goes to 113.
