Kazooie and The Crooked Mountain's
Chapter seven
A faint memory
Banjo wasn't feeling well. He had been here for a few days, maybe even weeks. 'She's coming, Kazooie wouldn't just move on' he didn't want to think anything happened to his best friend, he wouldn't be able to live with himself if she died trying to save him.
He was bruised from grunty's beatings, she had broken two broomsticks on him. He was hungry, she tried feeding him chicken, he didn't eat chicken, something he promised Kazooie when they were young. And his arms were in pain, they were chained above his head, he was practically hanging from the ceiling. Grunty was extremely upset a few days ago, something about L.O.G being useless? He had a feeling Kazooie may have killed a technical God in a attempt to save him, she was going to extreme lengths against all odds, just to get her best friend back.
"Dammit, dammit, she's done it again! My monster was useless against the small hen!"
Grunty's voice echoed down the stone hallway in a cold, putrid manner. Banjo was more interested in the supposed monster Kazooie killed, knowing what Gruntilda was capable of made him more impressed than anything else. Grunty stepped into the room with a wooden staff, she looked at him with a insane smile. "Well look at this, your awake and alert. You better get ready, because this might hurt" she swung the staff at his legs and laughed, Banjo cried out with pain, screaming for his friend who couldn't hear him.
Kazooie finally had the dream that she had been trying to forget about, the memory that she was afraid of.
"I'm gonna grab some fast food, what do you guys want?" Banjo was at the door preparing for a long walk to the nearest take out place.
"I'll have a slice of cheese pizza, and the twerp is gonna have that fusion plate thing"
Kazooie wasn't to happy that Banjo was leaving her alone with his sister, but someone had to stay. "Ok pizza and the other thing, gotcha" then he was out the door. "Why did you call me a twerp?" Tooty tugged at Kazooie's feathers, seemingly upset. Kazooie felt a little bad for that. "I'm sorry, just kinda slipped out" Tooty giggled and started turning red, which made Kazooie uneasy. "Your not the only one who had a slip up today..." Tooty was giggling even harder than before, Kazooie didn't like the way she was looking at her.
"W-what does that mean?" Tooty started to cover her mouth with her hands, then she said "Banjo told me he likes you"
Kazooie blew it off. "You see kid, he doesn't mean he likes me likes me, he means he likes me as a friend" then Tooty smiled and said "no, he said 'she's a really good companion, I kinda wish there was more to it but she wouldn't be comfortable with that'" Kazooie's eyes widened, her beak turned red, and her heart skipped a beat or two. "He-he said that?" Kazooie wasn't prepared for this, she wanted to have a normal night, now she knew that banjo admitted to something and she couldn't imagine how this would play out l.
The door knob rattled as Banjo came in
Kazooie woke up and fell off her tree.
Not exactly how she planned to start the day, she was sweating and her face felt blushed, she lied face down in the dirt holding in tears, he loved her and she never could muster up the courage to confront him about it, he wasn't saying anything because he didn't want to ruin things between them. She felt a tear brake free, the way she felt wasn't the same as Banjo, he wanted to something more, Kazooie wanted him to be straight with her, to tell her what he felt, she knew it wouldn't be easy for him but she still wanted him to at least make a move.
She rolled onto her back, clutching Banjos necklace, it was all she had left of him, she didn't exactly feel the same towards him, but she wouldn't have been completely against something different.
Kazooie stepped up, looking at her surroundings, the tree was gone, the path was gone, everything disappeared.
"Welcome to the pitch, my master didn't approve of this dimension, but maybe you can unlock its secrets?"
The Mad god, Kazooie still knew very little of him, only that he once was an apprentice of L.O.G, maybe the only living being that Could explain who 'Retro' was.
Ever since she started this journey and received the kick start from him, she was eager to finally crack the case on the apprentice and what his role was in this.
"Where are you? Show yourself" Kazooie unwillingly fell to her knees and looked down, she couldn't control it.
"That's not how you speak to a god, now is it?" The Mad God had a dominant position, speaking in a bold manner. "Why am I here, what is this place, who is retro?" She tried to add who he was but before she could finish, T.M.G flinched. "Retro?!? why do you ask if that devious menus?" Kazooie tried to respond but she couldn't. Then he disappeared, leaving nothing but black.
It was cold and Kazooie couldn't see anything.
'I'm going to die down here' she thought, but the darkness brought new light to the situation she was faced with earlier, she started thinking about what she felt earlier; why she felt that way. She remembered one time she felt the same way.
"It's getting kinda chilly, you sure that the thermostat is working again?" Kazooie sat in Banjo's backpack, shivering quite vigorously. It was the middle of winter, and Mumbo wouldn't be able to come check out the heating until morning. "We might need to light up the fire place, I can't make the heater work." So that's what Banjo set out to do light the fire place, but he soon noticed the problem, they had no wood! "How longed it take to find that out?" Kazooie chattering while shaking, she was uncomfortable with the temperature. Banjo looked worried, he then sat down beside her and wrapped his arms around her. "Banjo what are you doing?!?" She yelped, he had the biggest smile on his face. He then said "body warmth, the fire place isn't going to work, so I'll hold you all night if I have to." It was the sweetest thing anyone had ever done, she felt warm and cuddly inside, She put one wing over Banjo'a back, then the other over his shoulder. "Where'd yea hear that?" She asked. He just chucked "must have read it somewhere, you feeling any warmer?"
The memory faded and she said out loud what she should have said all those years ago. "Don't let me go"
This is where my proper romantic hunch Finally kicks in, sorry about last chapter and it's... well it wasn't very good for starters, but I overhauled this chapter full of flashbacks and story advances that should push it in the direction of the FINAL.
I have been studying my rear off and I'm finally figuring out how semicolons work, so I'm looking forward to more of those.
Please review and maybe tell me about what you thought about the chapter that had the unluckiest number in the Chinese vocabulary, is it relevant?
