I had a weird dream the other night. It actually gave me an idea for the Mario arc. Problem is, I won't be doing that arc for a while. Oh, well.
Chapter 32:The Not-So Itsy-Bitsy Spider
They were now in a world of rock and lava, the sky a dark orange and clouded with smoke. There were two large, metal rings of connected platforms above them that were rotating around a pit of lava. Leon was lying on the ground, holding back a giant, pink spider's mandibles from closing on his head. G&W jumped forward and slammed a box into the spider's head, knocking it away and allowing Leon to stand up.
"You weren't kidding, Leon,"he said as NiGHTS and Leon dualized."That is a big bug..."
"That's Queen Bella,"NiGHTS said."I've dealt with her before. Just make sure to dodge those giant balls of web. For some reason, they tend to bounce around."
"Because it makes so much sense for something sticky to bounce,"G&W remarked with blatant sarcasm. The large spider hissed angrily at them, then jumped up to the top level. She started firing down balls of web at them, and they both split in different directions.
"G&W, stay down here and knock those web balls into the lower platforms,"NiGHTS said."We'll focus on destroying the top platforms. We have to make her fall down into the lava."
"Yeah, that sounds pleasant,"Leon remarked jokingly. They flew up past the second platform, seeing a silk ball bouncing towards them. They flew at it and put a hand on it, then spun in place for a moment before firing it down at an angle. The ball bounced around, taking out two platforms on both the bottom and middle rings, then they turned around and saw two more silk balls flying at them.
They allowed one to pass by for G&W and grabbed the other, this time firing it straight down and flying out of the way before it could bounce back and hurt them. They watched the ball take out a few more platforms, then flew up to the next level, seeing Queen Bella. Unfortunately, this distraction kept them from noticing a web ball behind them, hitting them in the back.
"Owch!"they shouted, spinning through the air a bit before stopping, Bella hissing out a laugh. Neon looked at the arachnid irritably, then stretched their cheeks out to ridiculous proportions to make a face at her. The pink spider responded by giving them a raspberry.
Leon narrowed their eyes."Oh, she is so going down,"he said, apparently very offended by the immature gesture. They flew towards another a web ball and shot it at the platform Bella was on, dropping the giant arachnid through the gaps to the bottom ring. She hissed angrily as they flew down to confront her. She prepared to lunge at them, but suddenly the platform she was standing on was destroyed, making her fall into the lava. Neon looked down to see G&W looking up at them with his arms crossed.
"Your welcome,"he said calmly, and Neon just smiled. Then, the world around them began to dissipate, and they appeared in a simple-looking room. Leon and NiGHTS seperated and the three noticed a pedestal in the middle of the room. They went up to the pedestal and saw a brown book with Memories on the cover.
"This is it!"NiGHTS said excitedly as Leon put a hand on the book."Open it, Leon!"Nodding, the teen slowly opened the book, and they all gasped.
