AUTHOR'S NOTE: Not really much to say, except this is the longest chapter yet.
It was a stormy night, but one not severe enough to make me go overboard this time. I was sitting on my bed, reading a book I found in the Library about Link's being in Twilight Princess. Spark then walked by, eating an apple the size of pie plates. The Yoshi walked in and started asking me some questions. A couple of them were about where the ghosts found the fruit to put in the kitchen, but one question really started something inside me.
"Do you know why these deities want us to save the world?" "They have plenty of other great heroes." I sat and thought about this question for a few minutes. During this time, Spark had left little pieces of apple skin on my sheets, but I could clean that no issue.
"Honestly, I think it was Russian roulette, but something doesn't seem right." "I'm a 15 year old boy that lives life like other humans. I may not feel like a hero now, but someday in Poltergeist's eyes he sees me as the greatest hero in existence. "
"Well, I'm going to go get a shower, so I'll see you tomorrow then."
Spark then walked out of the room and down the hall into the massive bathroom. I had forgotten to mention this before, but the ship was laid out in 5 floors and the deck. Link and I both sleep on the 3rd floor and Spark sleeps on the 1st. The ghosts slept in the Paranormal Chamber on the 5th floor, which I've only seen once. I starting getting heavy eyes and I conked out then and there.
I woke up again to find myself in another dream. Like the pipe dream, it seemed very eerie in a blank room. Unlike the dream however, was that there was no sound at all. I could see my home's front yard had been littered with people all over the lawn. My mom was talking to several police officers as several men tried to walk up with darts in their hands. It looked like she motioned them to move away, but they refused. They finally left when she seemingly started to yell at them. The dream seemed to mold itself into something different, looking like a washing machine the way it spun around. I was now in a field of grass and dandelions. The wind was blowing calmly as it breezed through the vegetation. Suddenly, several notes of an ocarina began playing in the field. It was probably the most peaceful dream I had ever had.
By this point, I snapped awake. I looked at my watch to check the time.
"6:30, feels later than that." "Then again, I'm not sure how time flows in this universe."
I got up and stretched my legs and walked upstairs into the Living Room. Link and Spark hadn't gotten up yet and I was checking to see if everything upstairs had been okay. The first that came up on the DVR was the recorded episode of Survivor: Micronesia I had put there yesterday. Link must have stayed up late, because he had fallen asleep on the couch. Fortunately, he was a very heavy sleeper, so I didn't disturb his slumber when I had turned on the TV. Greenie was making himself a cup of coffee when he floated over to the couch.
"Does it feel like the ship stopped?" He asked me.
"Not sure, but I can go head up to the deck and see." I gave in reply.
I walked up the wooden stairs past the 5th floor and up to the door which lead to the deck. It looked like the usual from the deck, white clouds and blue skies throughout my vision. However, I looked down and noticed that a cable about 10 feet long had hooked itself around a metal pole on a skyscraper. What was even worse was that I recognized what the building was and where we were. The skyscraper was The Willis Tower in Chicago. We had wound up back in my universe. There is a glass box that sticks off the tower for the observation deck, and people had spotted the ship by looking above the box. One person looked she was trying to dial the police or even the military, looking up the massive airship the whole time. All of the ghosts and Spark had now been awake and were in the living room.
"Guys, there is a cable attached to this tower below us!" "We have to cut it quickly before someone comes."
"And this is bad because why?" Sneaker asked.
"We are back in my dimension; we may have bad company coming soon!"
Everybody dashed upstairs and onto the deck. Hider quickly flew to the small control tower to try and disconnect the cable as Sneaker floated down and tried hacking the metal pole with Shinrai; the sword that I had made a few days ago. Hider finally had the cord cut when I could see two helicopters coming in the distance.
"This is the Army, please surrender and reveal intentions at once." Is what blasted through a mega phone? However, by looking in the cockpit, I obviously saw two men that weren't dressed as soldiers; they looked like people that worked in the mafia. A ladder dropped underneath the aircraft with two men that actually looked like soldiers. They were armed with some kind of gun. I didn't want to know what kind so I grabbed a machete from the kitchen and sliced the cable, dropping the metal antenna back to the tower roof. Both ghosts quickly floated back inside as I ran over the pressure plate and reactivated it with the empty crate of oranges. The power pushed on the plate propelled the ship back into the skies, but it didn't stop the helicopter's pursuit on the ship.
"YOU ARE UNDER ARREST, PLEASE SURREDENDER YOUR WEAPONS!" Is what boomed through the speaker once more, suddenly I grabbed Shinrai out of Sneaker's "hands" and transformed it into the cherry bombs. I grabbed all three and hurled them over the deck, one hitting the blue helicopter and sending it slowly careening to the surface below. The exploded bomb had returned to me and I changed back into Shinrai. Since I knew it would return to me, I tossed the blade into the propeller, jamming it in the process. The helicopter started spewing black smoke before it drifted back below the clouds.
I was now relived of the situation, but realized what is going on.
I'm being hunted.
I went downstairs to finally to actually breathe when I saw Link; still sleeping on the couch like nothing had ever happened.
