A heavy fishing boot hit the edge of the obelisk, and a blue-tuniced boy hunched down, holding his spear down to where Hikari clung.

"Long time no see." Parad huffed.

Hikari: Hey! I guess you found your own way up here.

Not being a very proud person, Hikari immediately accepted the help that was given to her. She quickly latched onto the spear.

Hikari: Wait.. you've got your spear... Does that mean.. our weapons are all up here?!

(sorry if this is a bit inconsistant - i haven't visted this in eons)

Stoping and smashing up the twining corrodors, one would just as easily believe a titan was marching his way on the warpath at the top of the tower. The stomps taken shook each one of the people standing on top, and the granite bricks shuddered to hold together. Slowly did the bobbing blue hat sidle its way to the top, and the wooden door flew off its hinges and rocketed far into the sea. Hikari would almost be able to hear the whiz of the door as it passed by her ears.

Napoleon: Sacre blu!! Vas is happening in heer?! Vere is my weapun, yoo slimy little rod-ent?!

Then, after finishing speaking, Napoleon fell backwards under the weight of his enormous hat. Once he gained his stature again, he took the hat between his hands and tore the poor piece of fabric to shreds - its own mother bolt would barely be able to recognize the pile of blue tinder that remained after Napoleon's childish fit of anger.

His blue eyes flickered and turned to Hikari, striking fear into a nearby Moblin guard.

Hikari looked in shock as the short man tore apart his boat of a hat. She quickly scooped up her weapon, and kept her eyes locked on Napoleon. She was sure her sister was in the room nearby, but this man has lost it.

Hikari: 'Hoy. Be you sane, or be you against us?

Napoleon's eyebrow raised with a questionable gesture, and his short stature perked up to a full four foot five. He positioned his warn-out boots in the dust lining the granite and flared his nostrils with a fainting breath.

Napoleon: Don't you remember me? We met not a single day ago! What, do you have the mem-or-ie of a Spanish gnat, eh? If I remember correctly, yoo took me prisoner and stole my weap-ons!

Now if you excuse me, Mrs. Cremme-pouffe, I'd like my things back. I have better things to do than travel on some pee-wee adventure with ignorant islander kids!

He stomped his foot in the dust, sending a puffed cloud sprawling slowly in the air, as if it had gone into some kind of virtual bullet time. Though, his anger quickly fell in with that cloud, as he noticed something peculiar about the curious brown shadow drifting along the granite floors - it wasn't moving, and they were atop a great tower.

Napoleon quirked a brow.

Hikari: Well, I guess you're... uh.. "sane".

Hikari tilted her head in confusion. She stared at the dust circle around Napoleon

Hikari: Guess everyone's so caught up in offline trances that we're not getting any breezes here...

A slight shimmer caught Hikari's eye. A dagger was laid on the floor, one of the few weapons the group had lost that had a sharp edge. Before any thoughts went through her little purple head, a blur of brown and white flashed across her.

Farid: My shiney! *turns and looks at Hikari* Mine!

Hikari gave the brown haired boy a nervous smile. She looked at the door before her, and then started marching towards it. She pushed it open, and saw another winding flight of stairs to the top of yet another tower. She gave out an irritated sigh.

Marin: Big Sis!!

Hikari: Marin? Marin!

Hikari jumped for joy as she heard her younger sister's call. There was a cage across the room, with three girls inside.

Another figure came hurtling in from the same direction as Farid had, this time JDavis. He seemed a little out of breath, and was glaring at Farid. It was pretty clear JDavis didn't trust Farid any further than he could throw him (actually, JDavis could probably throw Farid pretty far... certainly further than he trusted him) and wasn't going to let the little stow-away out of his sight. Or at least, he wasn't going to until he spotted his bow on the ground..

JDavis: BOW! *dives, rolls on the ground, and ends up on his feet again, bow in hand*

JDavis held the bow above his head, where it spun around slowly while floating some inches above his hands. It also seemed suddenly much shinier.

JDavis: So shiny!

Then, JDavis' attention is once again diverted as he hears the calls of help coming from the nearby door.

JDavis: Damsels! In the stress!

JDavis bursts through the door and poses triumphantly.

JDavis: No need to fret, ladies! For I, JDavis the Great, have come to-

JDavis suddenly notices Hikari already rushing over to Marin, and that nobody is paying any attention to him.

JDavis: *animefall*

"CUCCOOOOO!"

Hikari remembered the shrieking of the giant blue bird. She leapt off to the side, barely avoiding the huge talons of Cojiro. Feathers and dust was thrown all around the room as the ground shook beneath the huge chicken.

Hikari: Oh no! It's that bird!

JDavis: I'll take care of this!

JDavis pulls out his bow and, closing one eye, carefully aims at Cojiro's head before realising...

JDavis: ... I've got no arrows!

Hikari did a facefault as JDavis let everyone know about his situation.

Hikari: What's the big idea using my family's bow when you don't even have any ammo!? ... Eh... I guess that was kinda expected.. Grandma never gave me something to hold arrows in... Hey! Farid! Get in here and do something to that bird!

Farid: Mine! I'm not gonna ruin the shinyness of my dagger..

Hikari: Argh! Fine! Prepare to... suffer the wrath of splinters!

The purple girl lunged at the giant chicken, and swung her sword. Cojiro glared at Hikari. It moved its head over to Hikari, who was just staring at the bird. In one swift peck, the bird broke Hikari's wooden sword.

Hikari: .... Um.. Farid! Please!

Farid: ... fine fine.

Farid walks up to Cojiro, and begins swipping at its legs with his dagger.

Farid: You happy?

JDavis: That may not be the best id- !

Suddenly everything froze. It was as if time itself had stopped, or at least slowed beyond reason. Even Cojiro was stuck in place... except for its head. Cojiro raised its head high into the air and crowed loudly..

CUCCO-CUCCO-CUUUUUUU!

CUCCO-CUCCO-CUUUUUUU!

CUCCO-CUCCO-CUUUUUUU!

As time's flow returned to normal, hundreds, maybe thousands, of cucco flew in through the gaping non-ceiling. Unlike Cojiro, they were white and of a more natural size (which still made them almost as large as Hikari). They swarmed down in a circular motion, looking almost like an extremely thick cloud.

JDavis: Holy-!

But before JDavis could finish this two-word statement, he had to use his shield to block a cucco that was diving straight at his head.

Hikari shrieked as she leapt onto Farid's shoulders. The boy almost lost his balance, but managed to stay firm.

Farid: Did I give you permission to jump on me?

Hikari: They're as big as I am! You're dressed up as some cool swashbuckler, do something about this!

Farid: What? I just wanted my dagger back.

Hikari smacks Farid on the head.

Farid: Ow!

Unfortunately for the ponytailed boy, the chickens began to peck away at his shins. He started to hop around like made, trying to swipe at the cuccos, but completely missing everytime. Hikari decided to leap onto JDavis.

Hikari: Why are they here?! They're supposed to be extinct!

Having finally made it into the room, he dashes in, and sees complete pandimonium.

Jarukoth: "HOLY SHINTO!!!"

He gathers up a large concentration of cold energy, chilling the air around him. After a few seconds, he releases the energy into an icy blast, freezing about 25 cuccos...

...When all the cuccos stop and stare and Jarukoth angrily, who just happened to notice the giant blue cucco that was there .

Napoleon stood and watched the oncoming onslaught of feathers with a mouth agape - never before did he see such a sight, and stumbled his hands to the dagger that usually remained unseen inside his sock. With amazing grace for the situation, he grabbed it, and did all sorts of dazzling tricks unfurreling it.

Looking at the dagger, you could just taste its rich setting. The handle was plated with solid gold, and the very bottom was encrusted deep with dazzling jewels. Clearly, it was never meant to have anything foul touching it. It was too expensive.


Napoleon: This will not work.

Saying that with an unsure look, he began to swing his dagger in the air willy-nilly once the party was entirely engulfed in a foggy white, scratching cloud

A deep voice boomed into the tower.

"Enough fun. Take them away."

All of the cuccos reared their heads back and let out a roar (in their chicken way) in unison. Cojiro stomped its scaly foot, knocking everyone off their feet. The cuccos rushed underneath everyone, and began to literally carry them out.

Hikari: Hey! What's going on?!

The cuccos began to flap their wings, and rushed out the opens doorway. Anyone else that was straggling behind was swept up in the cucco rush. The birds leapt off the fortress, and almost as if they were defying nature, flew high into the air.

Hikari stopped struggling when she realized her and the entire rescue team was far above the foretress. Hikari looked around, hoping to find some inspiration. She noticed a dark figure standing at the tallest tower, which seemed to house a cabin. A wide grin was spotted from the long nosed figure.

This was the most terrifying moment of Hikari's life. And the next action the cuccos make didn't make things better. The flying chickens began to do loops in mid-air.

The loop moved faster, and faster, and faster. All of a sudden, the cuccos stopped in the middle of the loop, forcing the entire cast to be sent hurling into the air. If they were to survive this horrible event, it would be something they wouldn't want to redo.


-------------------------

Jargon: Hey! Are you lazy children ever going to wake up?

Hikari: Nnnh... Wh-wha? Jargon? Is that you?

Hikari looks around. She finds herself aboard a tiny dhingy of a boat, which somehow is able to carry everyone that was with her within it. The boat was in a little cove, behind some island. The sun was being blocked by the rock formations around them.

Hikari: Where are you, Jargon? I thought you were..

The head of the boat, which seemed like a wooden red lion's head, turned around and began to move its mouth.

Jargon: Come to your senses, eh? Kids these days are so dull witted.

Hikari: WHOA!

Hikari leapt backwards, landing on someone's back.

Farid: Ow

Hikari: What... I...

Jargon: It was nice to see you try so hard to save your sister.

Hikari: ... Those cuccos..!

Jargon: The only frightening creature you have to worry about would be those pigs walking around.

Hurled and hurled and hurled like a sick washing machine, Napoleon was tossed like a ragdoll in the wind. He flapped his arms in a feeble attempt to stay in the air, but unfortunately, humans can't fly. Napoleon didn't know that, but I suppose he figured that out the tough way.

Ker-SPLASH! Into the drink he went, and strangely, all that went through his brain was the appreciation of escargo he shared with his mother country. Not a sentiment of living, and no struggled ever waltzed through his mind - just the salty taste of that rubbery treat.


*Poke poke*.. Kalum? Kaloom!!

Kalalalampoooooooooooo!

Napoleon's eyes barely complied when he told them to open. His body was seriously on the brink of being denied for the rest of eternity those sweet, delicious snails! However, they opened after somewhat of an inner struggle.

Kaloooom! I hope he likes green!

Teddy lay motionless on the ship's deck. For a few moments, he looked like any other teddy bear until--

Teddy: PIE!

He sat up with a jolt. The teddy looked around him with a blank stare, then picked himself up.

Teddy: Man, next time I see a cucco or anything like it, I'm breaking out the Foreman grill.

Teddy looked around the ship once more, noticing his fellow companions. Spotting his cozy seat, he made a quick jump for the top Hikari's head.

Teddy: Miss me?
