Man, this story isn't getting any reviews… I'm so sad… Is it because it lacks actions or what? If you want action, then I'll give you action!
And BTW, I should've said this in the previous chapter: Dr. Scienctistein is the name of a generic enemy in Wario Land 3, and he later appeared in Dr. Mario 64 also. And I also misspelled it as Sciencestein in the previous chapter… I went back and corrected already.
Chapter 5: Horohoro & Pirika's BattleHorohoro and Pirika are about to battle Krow and Kudgel in order to get to the button and activate it. "This is no place for kids like you!" says Krow. "Leave here or you'll regret it!"
"Leave!" roars Kudgel loudly while patting his spiked club against his palm.
"Like we'll listen to you!" says Horo. "We're not everyday kids you see roaming around!"
"Right! My brother can beat you into bloody pulp!" says Pirika.
"Haha! I like to see you try!" laughs Krow.
"You stand back, Pirika," Horo says to her. "I will deal with these monsters!"
Pirika quickly moves back into some tall grasses to hide, poking only her head out. "Show them what you got, bro!"
Horo oversouls Kororo into his snowboard and says, "I'll make a quick work out of you two!"
"That should be our line!" says Krow. "Get him, Kudgel!"
Kudgel runs forward and swings his club at Horo, who uses his snowboard to block it. While they two are pushing each other with their weapons, Krow lifts a boulder into the air using his talons, flies above Horo, and drops it. Horo sees it in time and quickly jumps back to avoid it.
Kudgel then swings his club multiple times at Horo, but he is able to successfully dodge each swing by jumping and ducking around.
"You can do it, bro!" cheers Pirika.
"Icicle Assault!" Horo fires several large icicles at the large Kremling. Kudgel holds the tip of his club and spins it in circles like a fan, shattering the icicles when they hit.
"You're pretty smart for a big brute!" comments Horo. He dashes at Kudgel to attack again, but the Kremling slams the ground with his club and creates a small earthquake. The shaking made Horo stop in his place.
While he is stopped, Krow swoops down with his talons wide open to attack him. "Die!" Horo brings up his snowboard in time to shield it, but Krow snatches his snowboard and lifts him into the air!
"Hey! Let me down!" cries Horo.
"I will, but after I go up high enough!" says Krow. But then the snowboard blows out cold air at Krow, making him let go of it, and he gets blown high into the sky. "WHA!"
Horo falls back to the ground and safely lands using his snowboard while Krow plummets into some tall grasses. "You're cool, big bro!" cheers Pirika. "You defeated the big bird!"
Horo turns to Kudgel and says, "You're the only one now!" He gets onto his snowboard and jumps up into the air. A large icicle grows out from under his snowboard and he is going to drop down on Kudgel to pierce him with it.
But to his surprise, Kudgel also jumps up into the air, higher than him! Horo is surprised that someone big like him can jump that high! Kudgel raises his club overhead and is about to bring it down on Horo. Horo quickly flips over and the club slams into the snowboard instead. The impact sends him plummeting onto the ground like a comet.
CRASH!
Horo gets up and holds his head painfully. "Oww… That hurts…" And worst of all, his snowboard is now in pieces! He looks up and sees Kudgel dropping down on him, so he quickly rolls aside before he gets squashed.
"Don't be disappointed, brother!" says Pirika. "You can still use the Ikapusi I gave you!"
"You're cheering on other people, but you're doing nothing yourself," says a voice from behind her. Pirika turns around and is shocked to see Krow! "Everyone in a fight should get involved."
"AHHH!" screams Pirika, and then she quickly runs away, but unfortunately, she trips on a twig and falls to the ground.
Krow uses his talons to grab her by the legs and lifts her up into the air! "Let me down!" cries Pirika. "Brother! Help me!"
"Hey! Leave my sister out of this!" Horo shouts at Krow, but the giant vulture ignores him.
Krow swings Pirika around in midair in circles, making her dizzy. "Stop it!" she yells. "I'm going to get sick!"
"But I'm having fun!" says Krow. "You should enjoy it also!"
"I don't like it!"
"Kudgel! Get your club ready! We're going to play a bit of baseball!" Krow calls to Kudgel. The Kremling nods in response and lifts up his spiked club, and then Krow flies towards Kudgel with Pirika still under his talons.
"What are you doing to her! Stop it!" shouts Horo.
Krow flies nearer and nearer to Kudgel while Pirika screams even louder and louder. HELP! NOOOOOO!"
Horo finds out what the Kremling is going to do, and he runs towards him to stop him. "Stop! Don't do it!"
Krow smiles evilly as he brings Pirika closer and closer towards Kudgel.
"HELP! I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" she screams again. Like all intense moments in an anime, slow motion occurs as Horohoro runs nearer and nearer towards Kudgel.
Pirika is screaming her head off as Kudgel swings the club towards her face. The club comes closer and closer to her face and…
SMAAAAAAASH!
Several drops of blood splatter everywhere as Pirika is knocked up high into the sky by the spiked club. Horo watches with a horrible shock in his face.
Pirika soars lifelessly through the sky, and slowly back towards the ground. Horo quickly runs below her and she falls onto his reached out hands. Horo looks at her face and is struck with shock and grief. "No… Pirika… No…"
Pirika's face is entirely covered and dripping with blood, she even lost a couple of teeth. Her skin is torn and badly cut. She looks almost unrecognizable with such a battered face. Horo drops onto his knees and begins to weep. "Pirika… This… can't… be…"
But Krow and Kudgel are just laughing heartlessly. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Horo calmly places Pirika on the ground, and he stands up and glares at the evil duo. "How dare you…!" he says angrily. "How can you do this and laugh so happily!"
"Because she is weak and cannot fight! She deserves it!" replies Krow.
"She's just a little girl and you did such a terrible thing to her!"
"So? Life is cruel after all!"
Horo can't take it anymore. He is extremely mad. He grits his teeth hard and clenches his fists tightly. He seems to be ready to kill someone.
"Bro… brother…" says a slow and painful voice. Horo quickly turns around and is surprised to see Pirika still breathing. "Bro… The switch… We must… hit it…"
Horo runs to her side and says, "Pirika! You're still alive! Thanks god you're not dead!"
"My head hurts… But we… must not… lose…"
"What! That girl is still alive after taking a fatal blow in her head!" gasps Krow. "What kind of person is she!" Kudgel is equally shocked too.
Horo gets up and turns to the two. "You're going to regret for what you have done!"
"If she isn't dead, then we'll do it again!" Krow zooms towards Pirika and lifts her into the air again.
"No! Don't do it again!" yells Horo, and then he realizes he should go after Kudgel first. He quickly oversouls Kororo into a small wooden stick, turning it into a long ice sword.
"Clubs up, Kudgel!" Crow shouts to Kudgel, and the Kremling lifts up his club again.
"You said I'm weak, right? I'll show you I'm not!" Pirika shouts at Krow. She reaches into her pocket and takes out a spiral shell. To be precise, it's a Dial Shell. Yes, it is the ones that she received from the Straw Hat Pirates in the previous story.
She points the dial at Krow's and shouts, "Flame Dial!" The dial shoots a stream of fire into Krow's face.
"YAAAAAAAAA! IT BURNS!" Krow quickly lets go of Pirika and he flies around madly, and eventually dives down into a nearby pond to douse off. Pirika falls towards the ground and Horo once again catches her.
Next, he turns to Kudgel and says, "You're next!" He runs towards Kudgel with his ice sword ready. Kudgel also holds his club in an offensive position.
When Horo got near Kudgel, he shouts, "Ice Sword Slash!" And he swings the ice sword at Kudgel, cutting him across the chest.
"RAAAAAAAAAAA!" screams the Kremling painfully. The slash not only hurt him, but also sends him flying into the air.
Krow sticks his head out of the pond water. "Curse that girl! Wait till I…" Before he can finish his phrase, Kudgel falls on top of him and they bang head to head. Then they pass out and sink into the bottom of the pond together.
"We did it!" exclaims Horo. He notices a small shrine ahead of them and comes to the conclusion that must be where the button is. He quickly runs into the shrine and, sure enough, a large colorful button is there. He jumps onto it and presses it into the floor. A loud rumbling is heard, and then there is silence. "That did it, I guess…"
"I think we did it," says Pirika. "Ow… My head hurts again…" And she collapses onto the ground.
"Pirika!" Horo runs to her and lifts her up by the head. "Please be all right, my sister!" He takes out a handkerchief and wipes the blood off her face, but the severe amount of blood instantly dyed the entire handkerchief red.
"Don't worry, brother, I won't die…" she says slowly. "I will never leave your side…"
And so, Horohoro and Pirika won the battle against Krow and Kudgel. They even successfully activated the first switch. What about the others? Will they make it?
TO BE CONTINUED…
That ends the first fight! What do you think? Do you like it? Is the moment where Pirika gets clubbed in the head shocking? Please review to make me happy! Pretty please!
