Starrgrl: TYPE IT NOW!!!!
Haninator: *looks around for Link* LIIINK?!? BODYGUARD?!?
Link: *looks up while eating peppermint patties* Huh?
Haninator: HELP!
Link: *steps in between me and Starrgrl* It's not wise to kill the author… that only ensures that the fic will never be completed.
Ian Malcolm: *walks in* Chaos Theory states that it is impossible for her to consistently update all of her fics, let alone start new ones in the next two days because she has access to Twilight Princess.
Haninator: YOU KNOW TWILIGHT PRINCESS IS AWESOME!!!!
*flashback*
Haninator is on the floor playing through the Lakebed Temple.
Haninator: *catches a skullfish* HOLY CRAP!!! LOOK WHAT I DID!!!

Link: *sighs and continues eating toast*
*end flashback*
Ian Malcolm: A testament to Chaos being the fact that she hasn't actually started the chapter yet.
Haninator: Ah, forget your Chaos Theory! I'm gonna prove it wrong! Maybe… If I have the motivation and the time… XD
Malcolm: *shakes his head*
Link: Haninator doesn't own anything… not even the storyline of this fic!
Haninator: That's not true! I own the idea of you coming in! And some of the jokes in it! I also own a Wii!
Link: They know that.
Haninator: I know… I'm just proud. XD
Chapter 17 Link, Blue, and the Potted Ghost
"I'm comin'! I'm comin'!" Link responded to Blue's calls. A little while later, Blue and Link, carrying Billy, arrived at a pit made of bricks out of which the only exit was a green warp pipe. "Whoa… more lava… I'll never understand why Kamek would put lava in his castles! Aren't you supposed to live in a castle?"
"It's Kamek we're talkin' about. He makes no sense!" Blue responded.
"I know, but it's just the idea! He's severely messed-up! I think his parents dropped him on his head when he was a baby."
Where Kamek is:
"I resent that!" Kamek yelled at his crystal ball.
"KAMEK IS TALKING TO HIS LOVER AGAIN!!!" A Koopa yelled from down the hall in a rather disturbed sounding voice.
"I AM NOT!!!!" Kamek yelled back, only managing to disturb the Koopa and his friends even more. "I hate my life," Kamek banged his head against the table a few times.
"I DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN THERE, KAMEK!!!"
"Oh, goodness…"
Back with Blue and Link:
Link and Blue jumped onto the platform that was floating above the lava, rising and falling methodically. There was a fireball jumping out of the lava in a given pattern, which Blue promptly ate. Link's eyes expanded for a moment, then became normal. He'd seen the Yoshis eat many strange creatures. The difference between a Yoshi eating a Marching Milde and a little fireball had lost its lasting effect on him.
A flying Shy Guy approached them and taunted them, "Why don't you take a swim in the lava? You two look like you could use a relaxing bath!"
"I'm gonna kill him," Link said angrily, drawing the Master Sword and swinging it at the Shy Guy. The creature dodged, diving below the blade as Blue's tongue shot out and captured it. "Good catch," Link complimented, smiling. The duo jumped onto two other moving platforms and rode a third one to a stone-brick made corridor. The platform dropped out from beneath them and fell towards the lava as Link and Blue jumped to the safer ground. A few minutes later, they leapt across four more platforms that were the only refuge from the lava underneath. The group went up the warp pipe that was at the end of the corridor and came out near a floor covered with blue spiked balls. Link was reminded of his early wounds on his journey with Yellow, which had thankfully healed.
"Blue," Link said, "We've gotta plan this well… those balls over there… with the arrows on them… that are spinning… let's use them to go up there." Link pointed to a pipe that was on a precarious-looking ledge above where they were.
"Yeah… that makes sense… Let's go for it." Blue wasted no time in jumping onto the nearest arrow ball and floating upwards to the pipe. Link, still holding Billy firmly, yet gently, jumped onto the other arrow ball and followed. Blue went down the pipe with Link pursuing him.
The first thing Link noticed when they entered the new pipe was a light that seemed to be following Blue and him. "Blue… uh… is this normal?"
"Kamek. When are you gonna learn, Fairy-boy?"
"Shut up! I know it's Kamek, but does this always happen on your island?"
"Only when Kamek's around."
"I see…"
"Yeah… he defied logic a while ago and… um… continues to do so from time to time."
"Only from time to time? Why didn't you guys banish him long ago?!?" Link asked, drawing out the word "long".
"To tell the truth, we were too scared to."
"But yet you're willing to take a random baby to his parents."
"I know… logic fails us from time to time."
"No kidding."
"Down here," Blue said, jumping down to follow curve of the pipe. Link followed, twisting his body lithely in order to make it down the pipe Blue had chosen.
When they emerged from the pipe, there was a green pipe spewing Shy Guys every which way. In addition to those Shy Guys, there were ghost Shy Guys passing bombs down their line. "Blue… they're at it again…" Link said, pointing at the ghost Shy Guys and shaking his head.
"Yeah… just try to keep up. They'll fail at hitting you if you keep moving."
"I know."
When the duo leapt across a gap, the flower-shaped rock with an evil face painted on it fell and rolled toward them. "Look, a welcoming committee. How thoughtful," Link said sarcastically, leaping over the rock as Blue did the same. In order to clear the rock, Link and Blue wound up jumping high enough to get caught in some strange yellow spongy material.
Once it released them, Link's eyes went as wide as bowling balls. "What was that?" he asked.
"I have no idea and I don't think I wanna know."
The twosome faced similar obstacles on the way to the end of the hallway, found a flower pot, which Link smashed with the Megaton Hammer. Link picked up the key that was at the bottom of the pile of shattered ceramic pieces and wet flowers and put it in the pouch he wore on his belt. They ran back through the hallway and returned through the pipe. They came out near a warp pipe and a spiked log and a question marked turntable. "I say we egg it," Link said.
"Yeah," Blue said, picking up an egg as Link did the same and threw it at the turntable. The spiked log rose a few feet. When it was high enough for both of them to pass under, they ran beneath it and ran to the pipe at the end of the corridor. The pipe led to a locked door. Link pulled out the key used it on the door. The duo walked through a small length of pipe and jumped up a few white block steps and continued to another pipe. There was another turntable with a spiked log attached near a cliff with a platform that moved vertically in a set pattern. Blue threw a few eggs at the turntable and the two passed under it and jumped onto the platform. They jumped over a few more gaps and were again face to face with another spiked log. A few eggs later, Link, Billy, and Blue were on the proper side of the log.
Metallic blue spiked balls littered the walls of the corridor as it changed directions, moving vertically rather than horizontally. Link and Blue used the arrow balls that were nearby to rise to the top, albeit slowly. Once they made it to the top, Blue threw an egg at a suspiciously single spiked ball. The egg bounced off the spike and back to hit the cloud that had appeared after the egg hit the spike and a door dropped down, which Link and Blue entered.
The room was filled with corridors whose walls became transparent when Link and Blue walked through them. Link set Billy down and she started barking viciously. Link wasn't surprised when six bandits attacked them from all possible angles. Billy jumped at one of them, managing to destroy it soon later while Link took out the Megaton Hammer and started bashing them. Blue ground-pounded as many of them as he could and a few seconds later, they were all dead. Link smiled and put away the hammer in order to give Billy a thorough ear-scratch.
"Not bad. Hey… do you see those pots up there?" Blue asked, pointing to four flower pots that were scattered among the platforms. "You take those two, I'll take these two."
"Okay," Link said, moving toward the two pots Blue had designated for him. He heard a crash, then a second, but Blue only let out a monstrous groan. Link took it to mean that Blue hadn't found the key and started smashing both pots with the Megaton Hammer. The first pot yielded nothing, but the second gave him a key. He let out a happy yell and Blue smiled. Link picked up Billy and they all made their way to the locked door. They used the key to gain access to a short hallway with many flower pots all over. At the end of the hallway was a set of red doors with gold spheres studding it.
Beyond those doors was a drop that neither Link nor Blue had expected. "Ah, crap… This ain't gonna feel nice when we land," Link said, trying to joke and failing miserably. They hit the floor beneath them, oddly unhurt.
Before they knew what was happening, Kamek flew over on his broom and said, "Yoshi-dear, that baby is going to cause disaster to befall the Koopas. So give him here before you accidentally get hurt!" The Magikoopa took a moment to throw magic dust on the flower pot that was sitting on the floor near them and then flew away as a ghost came out of the pot.
"Maybe if we… push the ghost off the edge…"
"Ah, forget that! I've got the Megaton Hammer!" Link yelled, smashing the flower pot. The ghost flew out.
"Thanks for freeing me! I've been stuck in here for ages!" the ghost exclaimed, flying away.
"That has to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen…"
"Yeah, well… it's cooler than it blowing up," Link said as a giant key appeared and they escaped the castle.
"True, true."
Link cuddled Billy while Blue talked to Green.
"Okay, I suppose we can let you get some rest," Green said to Link. "I mean, after all, you've done a lot so far."
"Thanks." Link smiled and continued playing with Billy.
