Banjo-Kazooie meets Sonic the Hedgehog: Final

Disclaimer: SEGA owns the Sonic characters and Rareware owns the B-K characters.

(slaps forehead) It appears people have misunderstood some notes I made AGAIN. Okay. When I said you could choose if a chapter had romance, I meant that Sonic may or may not have been 'liking' Amy. I didn't mean that I wanted paring suggestions sent in! (Although I do appreciate them) There will be nothing more than hinted pairings in here, but maybe someday I'll write a sequel or some one-shots or something… but I'm getting ahead of myself. I gotta finish this before I even THINK about things like that.

Oh, and sorry this is so late, but there were… (counts fingers) 4 birthdays in my family in the past two weeks, including mine! So I was busy at the parties and with my own gifts (The Office: An American Workplace and Back to the Future DVDs as well as the DS games Lost Magic, Metroid Prime Hunters, and New Super Mario Bros. w00t!)

Chapter 17

"Once again, welcome back to Wheel of Torture!" Grunty exclaimed as everyone groaned. "Okay, let's get right down to business. What is my favorite magazine?"

Mumbo buzzed in. "Big Butts and Guts."

"Correct. How many Jinjos were lost in Banjo and Kazooie's last adventure?"

Banjo buzzed in. "45."

"Right. Time for a two part question: What other name does Fang the Sniper go by?"

"Nack the Weasel." Knuckles said.

"…and how many times has he encountered Sonic's group."

"Only twice, I believe." Tails responded.

"GAH! You're both right. I was hoping I'd get you that time." Grunty muttered. "Who is Gerald Robotnik?"

"Eggman's grandfather." Amy said after buzzing in.

"What is Eggman's real name?"

"Ivo Robotnik" Sonic said.

"Grr… How many Chaos Emeralds are needed to use Chaos Control?"

"Just one." Shadow said,

"Where did Sonic first defeat Metal Sonic?"

"On the Stardust Speedway on Little Planet." Amy said.

"Where did Kazooie learn Wonderwing?"

Kazooie buzzed in quickly. "Clanker's Cavern."

"How many members are there of the Chaotix?"

Bottles, eager to get a question right like all the others, buzzed in. "Three. The chameleon, crocodile, and bee."

"D'oh!" Knuckles muttered.

"Ahahaha! Wrong. You forgot Mighty the Armadillo!" Grunty cackled. "Get spinning, moleboy!"

Bottles spun the wheel and it ended on Group Event: Obstacle Course

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The group all vanished and appeared in the ruins of a shrine on a floating island. It was the shrine of the Master Emerald on Angel Island.

From here, you must get to the Temple of Chaos, while passing through Red Mountain and the Forest. Oh, and you're being chased by a wall of magic the gradually increases speed and robotocizes you if you get hit! GO!

"Follow us!" Sonic and Knuckles yelled, breaking into a run. A grey wall of energy appeared and slowly began following them. Sonic and Knuckles lead all the animals across a bridge, through by some cliffs, and into a canyon filled with red mountains that were constantly erupting.

They group ran until they were confronted by a cliff wall.

"We have to climb!" Shadow yelled.

Banjo fell to his knees clutching his stomach.

"It's bear and bird's wounds from last fight!" Mumbo shouted.

Being the strongest physically, Knuckles said, "I got 'em!" and lifted the heavy bear and his feathered companion over his shoulder. He slammed the spiked knuckles of his other hand into the wall and began to climb, but it was apparent that their weight hindered him.

"We'll take him. Tails said as he lifted Banjo and Kazooie, while he was aided by Shadow (who was flying via his jet shoes).

"Thanks." Banjo and Kazooie muttered.

"Guys? The magic's getting closer!" Amy exclaimed.

"Come on!" Sonic shouted. He got a running start and ran vertically up the cliff. Knuckles was about halfway up in his climb, and Tails, Shadow, Banjo and Kazooie were almost to the top. Amy, Mumbo and Bottles began their climb up.

"I-I can't do this…" Bottles said. "I belong underground, not high above it…"

"C'mon Bottles, you can do it." Amy said, extending her hand down to help, since she was a bit higher up than Bottles.

Tails and Shadow left Banjo and Kazooie at the top of the cliff, and flew down to help the stragglers. Sonic and Knuckles had already made it to the top but refused to leave without their friends.

Suddenly, the cliff Mumbo, Bottles and Amy were on crumbled and they fell towards the robotocize magic.

"AHHH!" They shouted. Shadow and Tails swooped down. Shadow caught Amy, and Tails caught Mumbo. The two reached down, but they were too late.

"H-HELP MEEEEEE!" Bottles shouted, as he fell into the magic and vanished.

"MOLE!" Mumbo shouted.

"It's too late." Tails said. "He's a slave of Eggman and Grunty now…"

When all of the animals were at the top of the cliff, they set off running again, from the magic. Knuckles was carrying Banjo and Kazooie.

"I-is Bottles…?" Banjo asked weakly as Knuckles ran.

"I'm sorry." Was all Knuckles said.

"D-damn it…" Kazooie muttered.

Banjo was too weak and too sad to reprimand Kazooie, so he just lowered his head.

The group reached a large chasm between mountains.

"How do we get past that?" Sonic growled.

Shadow pointed across, at a tall rock. "Chaos Spear!" The rock was hit by the bolt, and crumbled, filling the gap. "RUN!" The animals made a break for it, across the makeshift bridge.

The magic that had already consumed Bottles was gaining ground…

Our heroes ran, dodging eruptions as they went. Eventually, they found themselves climbing a snowy mountain.

"We're in the Ice Cap!" Sonic observed. From their vantage point, they could see almost all of Angel Island.

"The forest is over there!" Knuckles pointed

"Let's go!" Mumbo shouted. His voice echoed multiple times, and snow began to fall down the mountain.

"AVALANCHE!" Tails panicked. The group ran as fast as they could.

"Chaos Spear!" Shadow shouted. He attempted to blast the snow back, but to no avail. "I guess I'll have to use something new." He jumped in the air and was surrounded by energy. "Chaos… BLAST!" Red power exploded from his body and slowed the snow down.

Mumbo meanwhile, took advantage of the diversion, and began his chant. The snow began coming again, but Mumbo had already finished. He held up his wand and magic bag and the snow froze in place.

The magic was getting closer, so they began running again.

The animals reached a cliff above some trees.

"C'mon!" Knuckles shouted. He jumped and glided down, with Banjo and Kazooie on his back. Tails and Shadow flew into the forest, carrying Mumbo and Amy. Sonic jumped downwards, from branch to branch.

The animals rushed through the forest path as the magic followed them. They ran and ran through the trees and plants, but the wall of energy persisted.

"It's getting closer!" Kazooie said weakly.

From behind a tree stepped a large purple cat holding a fishing pole and a small frog.

"BIG AND FROGGY?" Sonic gasped.

"uh?" Big asked dopily. "Oh, hi Sonic. What's going on? What's that grey thing?"

Sonic grimaced and grabbed Big, attempting to pull him along. "If you or Froggy get hit by that, you'll turn into evil robots!"

"Buh?" Big gasped.

"We have to find the Temple of Chaos!" Tails said. "It's the only way to stop that magic!"

"You mean that large building in the forest?" Big asked.

"Yes." Knuckles said. "Where is it?"

"It's by my house." He pointed forward. "That way!"

"Thanks." Knuckles said. He quickly handed Banjo to Shadow and Kazooie to Sonic. He struggled to pick up Big and then continued running.

Everyone leapt over a river, and ran past a shack made of logs. "There's my house. The place you're looking for is that way!" Big said, pointing down a path.

"Let's go!" Shadow said. Everyone rushed into a clearing. In front of them was a large, Aztecan style temple with stairs leading to the door, which was a giant snakehead.

The magic was right at their heels now.

Sonic and Shadow (along with Banjo and Kazooie) rushed into the temple door. They looked back. Mumbo and Tails got inside. Knuckles accidentally dropped Big as he entered.

"Big!" Tails shouted.

As Amy was about to go up the stairs, she tripped.

"NO!" Sonic yelled desperately as the grey magic slowly engulfed Amy's feet, turning them robotic.

"Oh no! My feet are now rocket boots!" Amy shouted despairingly as the magic began crawling up her leg. "Wait a sec… THEY'RE ROCKET BOOTS!" The jets on Amy's new feet ignited, sending her into the temple.

Our heroes and the grey magic vanished, leaving Big in the middle of the forest. "Well, that was odd." He said.

Froggy nodded.

"Let's go fishing!"

Froggy rolled his eyes as the cat with a one-track mind carried him away.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The animals reappeared at their pedestals, breathing heavily. To Amy's dismay, her feet were still robotic.

"Well… at least I got one of you." Grunty smirked. Standing beside her was a robotic mole. It was obliviously Mecha Bottles.

"You… MONSTER!" Banjo shouted at the witch.

Grunty smiled. "Thank you. I was going for that."

The remaining animals gritted their teeth in indignation.

"Aww. Are you angry?" The hag taunted. "NEXT QUESTION! How many contestants were there in the Sonic R Grand Prix?"

Sonic buzzed in and counted on his fingers. "Let's see… there was me, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Eggman, Egg-robo, Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, and Tails Doll… so that's 9."

"Right…. So you've won…" Bits of lackluster confetti fell from the ceiling. "You can't answer questions anymore. For the others: what could Banjo and Kazooie turn into when they went back in time?"

"A mouse, octopus, candle, and tank." Mumbo said.

"Okay. How many Chao Gardens are there?"

"Six. Station Square, Mystic Ruins, Egg Carrier, Normal, Hero, and Dark." Amy said.

"Correct." Grunty seemed to be running low on questions now. "What is Chaos the guardian of?"

"Chao." Said Tails

"Here's another two parter. First… what is King Jingaling's pet's name?"

"Toots." Banjo said.

"…and where did he come from?"

"He originally lived in Gobi's Valley, and was Rupee's pet." Kazooie said.

"Darn. You're both right… Oooh." She grinned evilly as she looked at the next card. "Now that Banjo, Kazooie, Mumbo, and Bottles are out of the competition, I doubt you'll be able to answer this question: Where is the Ice Key located?"

"Damn! She's right!" Shadow muttered. "How are we supposed to know that?"

Everyone was panicking, when suddenly, a buzzer was heard. Knuckles smiled. "The Ice Key is located in Freezeazy Peak."

"Wha- bu- h-how did you know that!" Grunty stammered.

"A walrus told me." Knuckles said and winked.

"Fine… let's see if we can get this black hedgehog…. What dragon lives on the ice side of Hailfire Peaks?"

"Chilly Willy." Shadow said without batting an eyelid. He had won! The pedestals all vanished.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Grunty yelled, pounding the floor.

"I told you it wouldn't work." Eggman said.

"Now give us our friends back!" Sonic shouted.

"Fine." Grunty said. "Once I kill you, they can be recaptured." The cage holding Cream, Cheese, Espio, Vector, Charmy, and Tooty floated down and the witch snapper her fingers. The animals vanished and Grunty said. "There. They've all been sent to a safe area around their homes with no recollection of the events that took place here. HAPPY NOW?"

"Not quite." Banjo said, still weak from his challenge. "We still have to pay you back for what you did to our other friends!"

"Well let's see if you can." Eggman said. "Step through the warp pad over there when you're ready to face us." Grunty snapped her fingers and she, Eggman, and Mecha Bottles all vanished. "We'll be waiting!"

"Don't give us much of a choice, do they?" Tails asked. "The exit has been sealed shut."

Everyone walked up to a circular glowing blue tile. They were about to step onto it, when they heard a voice.

"A-are they gone?" An ugly looking cauldron with a face and feet stepped out of the shadows. In it was a disgusting green potion.

"Dingpot!" Banjo and Kazooie said.

"What you doing here?" Mumbo asked.

"They were just about to robotocize me when you all came." The cauldron explained. "I owe you all my life (or at least my free will)."

"You're welcome." Tails said. The Sonic Crew had long since gotten over the oddities on the Isle o' Hags.

"And I can heal you too." Dingpot said. "Just climb in."

"Are you serious?" Amy asked both skeptically and disgusted.

"Yep." Kazooie said, as she and Banjo struggled into the cauldron. An instant later, the bear and bird leapt out, in perfect physical condition. "It may feel gross, but it's worth it!"

Everyone took turns healing themselves in Dingpot, but sadly, Amy still retained her metal feet. That eliminated the hope of curing the robotocization using Dingpot.

Afterwards, Mumbo cleaned the gunk off of everyone and our heroes stepped into the warp.
