This is gonna be a short FanFic, just to let you know.
Chapter 2: Bomb Panic
The ten minor Nightmarens dashed out of Cerberus' lair and shut the door quickly. After they locked all the locks on it, they let out relieved sighs. Cerberus, however, continued to bark and bang on the door for a minute before going to eat his meal.
"Phew!" Steve panted, wiping the drool and sweat off his face with his fin. "That was close."
"Super close, dudes." commented Fred, glancing at a chip in his shell made by Cerberus' teeth. Bertha frowned at some missing tail feathers, also the fault of Cerberus' snapping jaws.
After they caught their breaths, Ralf spoke up, "It's about time we get to Lost Park."
"But if it's lost, how will we find it?" Johnson wondered.
Ralf looked like he was about to reply, but he suddenly hesitated, looking confused. He put a claw on his chin thoughtfully. "Hmm..." He then figured, "Hey, if Chamelan could do it, how hard can it be?"
---
Steve, Charles, Bertha, the Joe Colony, Ted, Bob, Fred, Kenny, and Johnson all glared at Ralf.
"What?" asked Ralf innocently.
"You said, 'Hey, if Chamelan could do it, how hard can it be?'! Remember? You said that?" Steve reminded.
"Well, I..."
"And it took us practically FOREVER to get here!"
"Wait a minute!" Ted spoke up. "I just realized something!"
"What?" the others asked.
"If the Jewel Fever mission was the girl's mission before her second battle with Bomamba..."
"Yeah?"
"And if her mission before Jewel Fever was to guide the boy through the castle..."
"Yeah?"
"And if the boy had gotten into the castle before his Chase Mission/first Chamelan battle in Lost Park..."
"Yeah?"
"And if we spent some time feeding Cerberus before the boy's second mission..."
"Yeah?"
"...Wait, what am I getting at here?"
The other Nightmarens groaned and collapsed on the ground.
"Great! We wasted 9 lines of you trying to bring up an impossibility! And we still haven't done anything worthwhile!" Ralf sneered.
"But there could be a paradox here!" Ted reasoned.
"So? Paradoxes exist here all the time! It's not like this is the real world or anything."
"Oh yeah, I forgot!" laughed the electric eel Nightmaren.
"Sheesh..." Ralf mumbled. He looked around and noticed the giant tree. "Hey, look at that! It's a giant beanstalk!"
"Ooooh!" the others awed.
Johnson then suggested, "Hey, why don't we climb up it and see if the giant's home?"
"Ok!"

(Ralf) "..."
(Steve) "..."
(Charles) "..."
(Ted) "..."
(Fred) "..."
(Bertha) "..."
(Bob) "..."
(Kenny) "..."
(Joe Colony) "..."
(Johnson) "...Oh well. Nothing's here."
The ten Nightmarens sighed disappointedly.
Bob grumbled, "What are we supposed to do now?"
"Buy souvenirs?" Johnson suggested, pointing to a store that was also at the top of the tree.
"Ok!" the others agreed. They went inside the store and there they met the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper greeted them with, "Lamp oil, rope, bombs- it's yours, my friends, as long as you've got enough Rupees."
"We don't have any Rupees!" Ralf realized. "We don't even know what those are!"
"Mmm..." The shopkeeper scratched his butt thoughtfully.
"Ok, we'll just steal everything you have!" Ralf said. He and the other Nightmarens ransacked the shop and left, but they still remained on top of the tree.
Kenny then noticed a problem. "Uh, how do we get down?" (Guess they forgot that they could fly.)
The others looked cautiously over the edge at the water far below. "Hmm. Will we be able to survive the fall?" Charles wonder aloud.
"I dunno. Let's see." Ralf pushed Johnson off the tree.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He landed in the water with a quiet splash.
"Oooh, that one hurt 'im." Fred commented in amusement.
After a few seconds, Johnson came up to the surface. "I'm ok! I'm alright!" he called up to the others.
"Awww!" they groaned. "Shoot, he's still alive!"
"Hey, throw one of those bombs at him." Steve said sneakily.
Ralf took out a bomb from the sack and dropped it down at Johnson.
Johnson saw it coming. "AAH!" He moved out of the way just in time. "Hey, watch it! You almost hit me with that!"
"Darn, I missed!" Ralf threw down more bombs.
"Yikes!" Johnson managed to dodge them all. "Careful with those! What are you trying to do, kill me?"
"Here, Ralf, we'll help you." Charles said. He and the others started throwing all the bombs into the water.
The Joe Colony then yelled, "NiGHTS and the Visitor are here!"
Ralf then got an idea. "Yes! This is perfect!" To Johnson, he called, "Johnson! Get up here but don't let NiGHTS see you! We're gonna blow the beanstalk to Timbucktoo! Don't worry, we promise we won't throw any bombs at you!"
"Ok! I'm coming up!" Johnson started to climb up the tree. "Where's Timbucktoo?" Then the other Nightmarens threw the rest of the bombs at him, causing him to fall back in the water so that he wouldn't get hit. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Once all the bombs were in the water, Ralf and the others waited.
"What are we waiting for?" Kenny asked.
"For the bombs to explode." Ralf replied.
Bertha then asked, "So what's taking them so long?"
"Hmm..." Ralf looked over the edge again. "I dunno. Johnson should have been killed by now. Oh, and the beanstalk too."
Ted reached in the sack with his tail and pulled out a remote. "Hey, what's this thing do?"
Ralf took the remote and examined it. "It says 'Remote Bomb Detonator'. ...Ohhhh, it's for the bombs!"
"Ohhhhhh!"
Ralf pushed the big red button on the remote...but nothing happened. "Hm? I thought I pushed the button." He tried again. Still nothing. "Hmmm." He continued pressing the button rapidly, but the only thing that happened was the button springing off.
Then Johnson reached the top, panting. "Whew! What a climb. So, how'd it go? Did the plan work?"
The others were so angry that in response, they pushed Johnson off again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Splash. When Johnson resurfaced, they heared him shout, "Hey! Who destroyed all the bombs?!"
The others were silent for a moment, realizing that NiGHTS must have destroyed the bombs before they could be detonated. "Not good!"
Hee hee! Everybody hates Johnson. And I don't know if you realized this, but even if their plan had worked, they would've been blown to bits too because they were still on the tree when they tried to explode it. Yeah, they're pretty dense. So, how was this chapter?
