Chapter 8: The Squeak Leak
Smash Kingdom, Hyrule Zone, The Sacred Grove
This bit I'm about to write is from the past, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't bother you, because it lead up to a certain Pokemon appearance.
Link was slowly walking toward the famous, Sacred Grove of Hyrule, he was feeling a bit uneasy nowadays, not because Hyrule haven't been threaten by Ganondorf, it was something else, something WAY more important.
You see, the peoples of Hyrule was in an uproar and the Royal Guards that supposedly protected Hyrule Castle and Zelda have been saying that they haven't seen her lately, that she just seemed to disappeared one day.
It couldn't have been by Ganondorf, because Link had been sealed him away ages ago, and there was NO sign of his return. (cough…Ness & Popo…cough) Link was deeply mortified, he couldn't believe that he let Zelda got kidnap, and this time he didn't have no clue of her whereabouts.
The next day, Link decided it was time for him to go into action and find Zelda; even though, he had no idea where to search first. So, anyways, he opened up a huge chest in his house, pulled out his trademark green tunic and headed toward the Sacred Grove for the Master Sword.
"Ehhh…" Link moaned, wiping the sweat off his forehead, as he finally reached that what he was searching high and low for, The Sacred Grove. "Finally…It took forever, but I've finally got here…"
Link looked up at the entrance, sighed, and then finally entered the famous forest. As Link entered the forest, he felt a strange sensation that went all over his body. "Eh…Uhh…" he groaned, quickly catching himself.
Link quickly looked around; trying to see if anybody was there, watching him. "Hmm…That was strange…" he murmured.
Link quickly made it to the area where the Master Sword was said to be bound to. "…Hm. Well…That was certainly easy to find…" Link muttered, then started to walk, but he suddenly stopped, as something just occurred to him.
It was strange this time around when he walked throughout the sacred forest, nothing out the ordinary happened, usually he would had some kind of obstacle standing in his way, but this time…Nothing. Link decided to forget about it and headed deeper inside the grove.
Link walked until he finally spotted the Master Sword's pedestal. Link climbed up the steps and made it up to the pedestal. Link was now standing over the Master Sword and bent down to pull the legendary blade out, but he suddenly heard a sharp cry. "Huh? Who's there?!" he said, while looking around.
Link then heard the voice again. "Help me…Please…" the voice was rather feminine. Link still seemed confused and then started to frantically look around. "…I-I'm up here…" she said, faintly.
"…Huh, Zelda?" Link then looked up toward the trees, he saw Princess Peach. "Huh? Who are you?" Peach was tied up, half conscious, but she was still conscious enough to see Link standing before her. "How did you get stuck up in a tree?"
"Uh…I-I…" Peach stuttered.
"…Don't even worry about it, I'll get outta there…" Link sighed, slowly pulling Peach down.
"Uhh…Thank you." Peach then looked up and noticed something coming toward Link real fast; it was moving so fast it seemed like a blur. "LOOK OUT!" she shrieked, pointing behind her.
"What?" Link then turned and saw the shadowy person. "Ehah?" he tried shielding himself with his shield, but he was a tad too slow, and Link founded himself getting slashed multiple times in chest by a black blur. "Errrrr!" As Link got slashed the only thing he could hear was the sound of somebody laughing hysterically, in a high pitch tone.
The shadowy person then kicked Link HARD in his balls. "Ehaaawww!!" Link screeched pain as he was sent flying and crashed into an old looking temple.
"NOOOOOOO!" Peach screeched, as she watched the debris from the broken temple shroud the area.
The smoke finally died down and Peach was able to see again, she immediately turned and saw a Trophy of Link lying on the ground. "Oh, no! He's been turned into a Trophy? You monster!" she sneered.
Peach turned to get a look at the guy, she couldn't believe who she saw standing there underneath her. "Y-You look exactly…"
"Mwahahahahah. Yes. I'm well aware of my appearance, woman." The shadowy guy said, cutting Peach off, while smirking sinisterly at her.
The figure was none other than Dark Link. "I'm deeply ashamed of my counterpart." Dark Link sighed, staring at the Link Trophy. "Such negligence…" he said shaking his head.
"You'll never get away with this…" Peach growled, getting Dark Link's attention. "I might not know where or how I got here, but you'll pay for bring me here. Mario will find me, and when he does…You'll be stopped, you horrible person!"
"On the contrary, it wasn't I who brought you here." Peach just stared strangely at him. "I arrived soon as…" Dark Link then turned toward The Link Trophy and snickered. "…He arrived. Beside…" he then started slowly walking toward Peach. "You should really be worrying about yourself…"
"Wha…What're you doing? Stay away from me!!" Peach shrieked loudly, while flailing around in the tree.
Dark Link then pulled out his blade; which looked like a ominous version of the Master Sword. "It's time to sleep…" he uttered in Peach's ear, while pulling her outta the tree.
"Please, don't do this!" But Peach plead fell on deaf ears, as he drew his blade closer to her midsection. "NOOOOO! Somebody! Please! Help…" she was then stabbed in the chest by the shadowy blade. "…Me…" she uttered, as she lost consciousness.
Dark Link just stood there staring at Peach, who lied there unconscious, slowly turning into a Trophy. "It was for purpose…" He then took a closer look at Peach and saw tears slowly running down her cheek. "What is this I'm feeling…Sympathy?" he then started laughing hysterically, which was in a high pitch tone. "How amusing!"
Smash Kingdom, Kongo Jungle Zone
"Thanks for all your help, Mr. Tree. If it wasn't for you, we probably wouldn't been able to heal that pink little guy." Plum said, while nodding to the tree. "Uh…I guess I should get going now…"
The tree nodded back. "Ah. Don't mention it, young lady. I saw that you were in trouble and so I did what I thought was the right thing." he smiled.
"And I'm highly grateful too, Mr. Tree." Plum then turned to Kirby, who was just staring innocently at her. "Oh, I didn't properly introduce myself to you, did I? Ahem." she said clearing her throat. "…My name is Plum, it's nice to meet you." she then put her hand out in front of Kirby. "Um…What's yours?"
"…Poyo?" Kirby said with his head tilted, while looking at strangely at Plum.
"Um…Poyo?" Plum muttered. "That's your name? Poyo?" she then crossed her arms. "Hm…That's a strange name…"
"Poyo…" Kirby sighed.
"Um…His name's not Poyo…" The tree said, getting Plum's attention. "His name is Kirby. You do know that he's just a baby, right? He can understand you, but he can't communicate back with you…"
"Oh…Wait, he's a baby?" Plum said, staring at the pink puffball. "…Wait…Kirby? This is… KIRBY?!"
"…Uh…Yes…Um, Is there's something the matter?" The tree said.
"Um…No…Well, yes." Plum paused. "…It's just. I thought Kirby was an adult, who talked with a Mexican accent, and wielded a blade." she then started flailing her arms. "Oh, oh! And I also thought he wore a mask and cape."
"Mema Might!" Kirby shrieked.
"Mema Might?" Plum said, while turning to Kirby.
"I think he meant to say Meta Knight. Anyways, Meta Knight is a powerful Star Warrior from the planet Popstar; he's more like Kirby's sensei." The tree chortled. "Kirby also from the planet Popstar." he then looked down at Kirby. "I know Kirby might seem infantile, but do not be deceived, he's extremely skillful when it comes to combat." he then muttered under his breath. "…I should know…"
"Oh…Really?" Plum said, while staring at Kirby. "Hey, Mr. Tree? How do you know so much about Kirby? Are you guys like from the same planet are something?"
"Uh…Urr…Of course not…Don't be silly. I'm from this here jungle…I've lived here since I was a young sapling." Plum just stared at the tree. "Um…Didn't you say you had to get going? Well, you'll better before it gets too dark…" the tree said nervously.
"Oh, yeah, that's right…" Plum giggled, while bowing to the tree repeatedly. "Well, I'll see be ya around, guys."
"Tch. Good riddance, I say!" The Mad Mad Banana seethed up in the tree. "So long, ya twerp!"
Plum then noticed how Kirby was staring at her. "Huh? Um…I guess this is goodbye, little guy…" she smiled, rubbing Kirby's cheeks. "Bye…"
"Pum…" Kirby murmured as he watched Plum walk farther away from them. "Poyo…" he sighed.
"What's the matter, young one? Do you wish to travel with the girl?" Kirby then turned and faced the tree. "If you wish, you'll better hurry and catch up with her, before she's gone…"
"Poyo." Kirby nodded, while lifting himself off the ground.
"Eheheh. Squeako, they're on the move. Let's follow them." Squeaka chortled. Squeaka turned and noticed that her little brother was fast asleep, covered up in some brown leaves. "Err…WAKE UP, YOU IDIOT!!" she screamed.
"AHHHHH!!" Squeako hollered, jumping straight outta the maple leaves. "Dude? DUDE?! What? WHAT?!" he said, looking around.
"You moron…Why do you always have to be a slacker?" Squeaka sighed. Squeako was still half awoke, as he staggered around Squeaka. "How pathetic…" she then turned and saw that there were no sign of Kirby and Plum. "NOOOOOO!! There's gone!"
"Uhh. Dude, what with all the screaming and whatnot?" Squeako said, yawning loudly, as he walked over to his grouchy older sister.
"Why you were talking your nap, Kirby and the little girl went on the move and NOW I have no idea where they went to." Squeaka griped, while glaring at Squeako. "That's what's wrong!"
"Dude, that's all?" Squeako chuckled. "No problem. The only thing we have to do is walk around this jungle again, I'm sure we'll find them again…" he then shrugged. "How hard is it to find a pink blob and a smoking hot chick?" he then started snickering.
"Seriously, little brother, that's all you think about, isn't it? Girls!" Squeaka sighed. "Well, anyways, you're right about one thing, if we walk around we will find them eventually…" she then started to walk away from him. "C'mon, let's get started already…"
"Yeah! That's the spirit, dude!" Squeako chuckled, while following behind his sister. "Eheheh. I can't wait to laid my eyes on that brunette chick." he growled tantalizingly.
The worst part about the Squeaker Twins, they were actually heading in Plum and Kirby's direction.
Oh, I forgot to give the Squeaker Twins some descriptions, so here it is. Squeaka is a red Squeak and Squeako is a blue Squeak. As you might know this the Squeakers twins don't have any arms or legs, so they usually do their moving around by sliding on the ground and their bottom halve is just a darker color of their original color.
Plum was still walking through the jungle, looking around, when she suddenly stopped. "Something just occurred to me. I-I don't remember EVER entering this jungle. I don't even remember how I got over to that tree where I woke up from." she muttered, nervously. "H-How did I end up here?"
"No!" Plum said, quickly regaining her composure. "There's no time to be afraid…I've got to find away outta here. But…How?" she then placed her hand on her chin. "Hm…Wait! I do remember seeing a backpack lying near me on the ground when I did regain consciousness back over by that tree. Maybe, if I went back there, I'll probably find the person who owned that bag."
Just then, Plum heard some rustling come from all around her. "Wahuh? Wh-What's going on? Where's that coming from." Suddenly, Kirby came popping out of some bushes. "Huh? Wahhhh!" shrieked a startled Plum, as she fell onto the ground.
Plum then lifted her head and saw Kirby standing over her. "Huh? Oh! It was just you, Kirby." she sighed. "You almost gave me a heart attack…" But Kirby didn't say anything, he just continued to stare at her. "Um…Well, See ya then…" she said nervously, walking passed the little puff ball.
As Plum started back walking, she quickly noticed that Kirby was following her. "Ehh…" she then tried losing him, but wherever she went, Kirby would always be right next behind her; she just couldn't lose him. "Tch. Can I help you?!" she griped, turning to the puffball.
"PUM!" Kirby shouted, loudly.
"Pum?" Plum muttered. "W-Were you trying to say my name just then, Kirby?" she giggled, blushing slightly.
"Poyo! Poyo! Poyooooo!" Kirby yammered, while flailing his arms every which away.
"Hmm…I'm not really sure I know what you're talking about, but I think you're trying to say that you wanted to walk around with me through this jungle? Sorta like my very own bodyguard, huh?" Plum teased, while rubbing his cheeks.
Plum then turned and noticed that she and Kirby was standing underneath the tree where she had regain consciousness. "Hey? This is it! This is the tree where I woke up from! All that running around the forest must've lead us back here."
As Plum looked around the tree, she noticed that everything was still in one place; the food was still scrolled around the tree and Pit's backpack was lying on the ground. "Oh, no…This is bad. The tree still looks the same as I left it…"
"POYO!" Kirby shrieked, as he scarfed down all the fruit around the tree.
Plum then walked over to backpack. "Maybe if I look inside, then I'll probably get an idea to who brought me here…" she then opened the bag and took a peek inside. "Huh? What's this? Arrows?" she muttered, pulling out some of Pit's sacred arrows. "The person who brought me here is an archer?" she then sighed. "Great. This still tell doesn't tell me anything."
"Squeako!!" Squeaka yelled, sitting on a branch in a tree. "We've been searching high and low and we still haven't been able to find those two."
"Dude, I'm just as lost as you…" Squeako sighed, lying on a tree branch. "I wonder who harebrain idea it was anyways?"
Squeaka turned and glared at Squeako, while grinding her teeth. "IT WAS YOUR IDEA, SQUEAKO!"
"Dude? Seriously?!" Squeako said, looking up in the air. "Since when did you started listening to any ideas I come up with?"
"Well, if you haven't…" Squeaka paused, turned from Squeako and then muttered. "Hm. You got a point there…" she then turned and saw Plum and Kirby standing right underneath the tree. "WHAT THE?! Are my eyes deceiving me?!" she said, blinking incessantly. "I know I don't see Kirby and that girl down there…"
"DUDE?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!" Squeako exclaimed.
Squeako had jumped right on top of Squeaka, which made her begin to lose her grip on the tree. "ERRR! Get off me, you…DOLT!" she then went to push Squeako off her, but she lost her footing, while accidentally pulling Squeako's tail. "Oh, no…" she uttered.
"Tch. Seriously, Kirby?" Plum sighed, watching Kirby eat all the fruit around the tree. "How can you still be eating? You JUST got through recovering from food poisoning?"
Suddenly, Squeako landed right in Plum's arms, while Squeaka crashed headfirst into the ground. "Uhh…" Plum uttered staring at the blue Squeak.
