(The Library of the Ghost Hideout)
I was relaxing with a book in my hand. I was so confident that Rocky was doing okay as the hero of the multiverse. Nothing could really go wrong. Just then, I heard a knock at the door of the hideout.
"Package for Poltergeist." Came the noise.
"Nice try, I don't use the internet."
"Oh, whatever."
Suddenly, the door busted open, all of the reinforced steel shattered across the floor. A white hand was now floating in the parlor of the hideout.
"Master Hand, we meet again." "It's been 7 years or so hasn't it?"
"Can it, fat head." "Where is the book of heroes?"
"I'm afraid I can't answer that question." "And please respect your elders."
"Listen, I know you're lying." "WHERE IS THE HEROES' PAGE?"
"Tell you what, you defeat me in combat, I'll tell you where it is."
"DEAL!" "I wanted to pulverize you anyway."
I used my telekinesis and hurled a dictionary towards him. He quickly stepped aside and fired a finger rocket straight at me. I ducked, but not before the rocket smashed a massive hole in the wall. I shot back with an electric zap, but he again dodged the blow. He then tried to grab to squish me, but I just swept out of the way.
"I really hope Poltergeist hangs on." Said a Blue ghost watching the fight.
Suddenly, Master Hand picked up one of the massive bookcases and tossed into straight into me. I went down hard and I likely wasn't able to get up. I signaled him to stop and he did.
"Now that you were destroyed to smithereens, where is the heroes' page? I open my eyes after the blow and just smiled.
"You said you wanted to destroy me, and now you, did." I say in my last breath before going to sleep. I had tricked him to try and kill me, I had sacrificed myself to defend the page.
"Hello?"
"Oh crud, I killed him."
(Back in the dumbwaiter)
"I really despise déjà vu." Link said as he and I are stuck in the dumbwaiter. We had been locked in the upstairs room for about 3 hours before I had decided to jump in the dumbwaiter to try and lower myself to the first floor. Unfortunately, it had gotten stuck roughly half way down the castle and we were dangling about the 30 feet in the air. I crouched and grabbed Shinrai out of my hoodie. Something fell out of my shorts pocket when I got on my knees. It was a Gobstopper, and it rolled out onto the floor of the dumbwaiter. I was told by Poltergeist that each hero had an immunity to something, and mine was that I never needed to eat or drink. Link scooped up the jawbreaker-like candy and examined it. He reached to put it in his mouth, but I stopped him.
"Don't chew it, it'll hurt your teeth."
"Nice try, but I'm the one starving here." "And besides, you don't even have to eat."
"It's hard, suck on it and it'll get softer. Then you can chew it." I say as I'm trying to bash the dumbwaiter frame with Shinrai replicating the Hylian Shield.
"Okay, if you say so."
I finally got a hole in the ceiling of the dumbwaiter big enough were I could poke my head through. I switched my shield back to Shinrai's blade and cut a bit further where I could climb out. Link had finished wolfing down the jawbreaker and he peeked out the hole.
"Stay here." I told him. "I'll be back in a moment.
I started climbing the very thin wire that held the dumbwaiter in place. It was in no way stable as it could fall any moment. The dumbwaiter started shaking all of the sudden and I nearly fell.
"Sorry!" Link shouted from below. "I almost dropped my hat."
By this point I was wedged up about 40 feet from Link, so I had roughly another 100 feet to go. I climbed up for what felt like ages. I checked my watch to see how much time had passed.
"10:49, it was around 630 when I got up, the 3 hours in the locked room, and now another roughly hour and 15 minutes in this shaft." I muttered to myself. I climbed for another 20 feet before where I saw the line had gotten tangled up. I thought about cutting it right then and there, but something else seemed more fitting.
"Link, hang on tight!"
I slid down the rope like a fireman's pole and sliced it halfway down.
"That'll do it."
The dumbwaiter started falling with Link screaming on the inside. I rapidly grabbed the top part of the rope where I hadn't cut and did my best to stay perched on top of the dumbwaiter as I tied it to the rope that was still attached to the dumbwaiter. I tossed the cut rope at one of the brackets lining the side of the shaft and prayed that it caught the dumbwaiter before it hit the ground. It continued falling, but with about 8 feet above the bottom, it stopped. I got off the top and hopped to the ground with some pain in my ankles, but it'd likely go away. Link climbed out a few minutes later, but he got out and regurgitated over in the corner of the room.
"C'mon Link, we have to keep going."
"Okay." He said, but with a bit of a pale face still.
There was a door on the side of the shaft. It'd looked like that when the castle sent up food, they went into the shaft and put it in the dumbwaiter and raised it up to the 6th floor of the castle. However, the castle's floor plan baffled me again as I didn't walk into a kitchen, but another hallway.
(Spark)
I was trying to be as stealthy as I could, quickly dashing through the hallways and hiding on the ceilings. I went through like 20 rooms before arriving in what looked like a dining room. I quickly went and hid under the table. The table had been lined with hundreds of those blue things without the armor on them. My stomach noisily reminded me of hungry I was about halfway across the table. I started grabbing some of the stuff that was falling off the table. I heard a door open among the massive commotion and hid again.
Suddenly, somebody walked into the room, but they looked really different than the blue things. It had a purple hoodie, a red scarf, and yellow shoes. But the weird thing was that his limbs were all separated from his regular body. I had the Heroes Page with me and it was acting up when he walked into the room.
"I've got a hero, but how I can I get him to come with us?" I asked myself. Suddenly, an idea came to mind. I dropped the whole ninja act and walked over to the thing.
"Hello, uh, I'm kind of new to this place and I was wondering why everyone is cheering for you." I asked him.
"Eyo, my name is Rayman, I'm known around these parts for saving these Teensies."
"Did you know that you're a member of the Elite 8?" I questioned.
"Never heard of it."
I walked up and showed him the Heroes Page. He touched the gem and a column of light shrouded out and a metal disk lowered into its indentation. Suddenly, I saw Rocky and Link walk in the room.
"Is that a human!?" Rayman shouted.
