Greninja groaned as he heard the the two surviving Nitpickers still on and talking. This was taking far too long. However, he was not about to mess with the duel at hand...unless he was prompted (or tempted) to do so. Instead, he stayed on the sidelines and began cheering for his 'scarf brother' and Shulk.

Link maintained focus while Proxi was ready to bring it on, mate for that Tinker Bell comment. Regardless, Link was still calm despite the insults that were thrown at them. Link focused and dodged the two birds and waited for Arin to pass by. As soon as the bird did, Link rose up with a Rising Spin Attack on the bird's back. The force of the legendary sword technique finishing the bird off and sending him down. "You sure showed us. Maybe next time you should listen to the fairy!" Proxi called after the Nitpicker.

Shulk took aim at James, and rose up to meet him in the air. As soon as Shulk  collided with James, he slashed the Monado across him as hard as he could, sending the birdbrain straight down the mountain. "You had that coming for a long time. Hope you enjoy your trip down the mountain, ya stupid bird!"

“Hyrule Warriors is still not a true Zelda Gaaaaaaaaame!” James croaked as he his shaven tail plummeted out of the sky leaving a confetti of sliced pink wings sprinkling in the air where he once flew. Perhaps he should have asked ‘Tinkerbell’ for some pixie dust. Just like his mates before him, he left his ear corn behind.

“Beating me won’t make Xenoblade populaaaaaaaaar!” Arin sang his swan song as Shulk backslashed him back down the mountain with the rest of his fallen feathered fiends. Along with the trail of burnt feathers all the Nitpickers tended to leave, an ear of corn managed to land right in Shulk’s pocket mid Bakcslash.
“Enjoy your climb up, fools! You’re all as doomed as the mountain is!” a pained voice echoed from bellow.
“They won’t even make it that high! The polar bear’s on the next floor!” Another voice coughed. "Happy 3333rd post everybody!"
Very weak, injured and broken laughter echoed up from the bottom of the mountain. Laughter that was soon ominously silenced.

“Great job everyone!” Popo congratulated and thanked everyone for getting rid of the Nitpickers.
“They’re SO Annoying” Nana facepalmed with both hands over her face, complaining over the no longer present nuisance as she laying the slow. “So peaceful now.” she sighed serenely.
“Now let’s go.” Popo pointed up to the next shelf, getting right back to business. They had finally gotten close enough to jump up through it, and Popo didn’t want to risk spending another minute here before More Nitpickers show up.

“Hi sleepy head.~” Popo stood over Nana, looking at her upside down and waving. “We gotta go.~” Hi gently reminded her, holding out a hand to help her up.
“Five more minutes.” She cutely yawned before rolling over on the snowy floor.
Popo shrugged in compliance. “Wuuuun... Tyoooouu... Thareeee...” he began to count out loud obnoxiously.
“Yup I’m Up!” Nana relented, gigglingly accepting Popo’s hand up.
Popo took Nana’s hand, but did more than help her up. He Threw her up. “Up you go!”
"Hup!" Nana, surprised but not unprepared, took a swing at the ice ceiling once she got close to it.

((It’s that time of the thread again. Time to break a hole in the ice above and climb up through to the next floor. Roll 10 Strength or higher to do so. If your partner already broke a hole, you can just jump up through it. But only partners can use each other's holes.))

(pqSQzNC3p_1d20+3 Nana’s Hammer smash at the ceiling.)

Surely enough up through the glassy ice she smashed up through the other side. But instead a signal to Popo to jump up behind her, all could be heard was a dramatic gasp from Nana.
Popo jumped up behind her all the same, and he gasped all the same.

Greninja sarcastically waved a 'bye-bye' at the birds, finally free from the torment that was the Nitpickers. A long, drawn-out yet satisfied sigh escaped the ninja frog as he went back to the group, feeling reinvigorated. "Grenin...Greninja? (That's the end of that...how many floors are left?)" he asked until he remembered no one could actually understand him. Weeeeeelp.

Seeing as no one would answer that question (who could blame them, though?), Greninja waited until Popo and Nana went through and entered the new floor. "Nin...(All right...)" Greninja revved up and attempted to strike the ice layer!

buFzIzr_p_1d20(TFW you crit in the place where it doesn't matter)

The attempt proved to be a cinch, as the ninja frog's kick made a hole enter existence. Greninja landed on the new floor and saw that the Ice Climbers were shocked because of...something. He glanced at whatever they saw...

Link put his sword and shield back on his back and looked up. Man, mountains sure were taller than he remembered them being. Fortunately his partner was on top of the game already and jumped up to the next floor. Link was not one to be left behind and jumped up after them. Time to see what Nana and Popo were so startled by.

[heirtothemonado]

Shulk breathed a sigh of relief after the birds were gone. "That took way longer then it should have. I guess it's time to go up again." Shulk jumped up and smashed the ice with the Monado's metal frame.

The Monado's frame bounced off the ice sheet, not even making a dent. Shulk wasn't giving up though, and tried again

This time, the Monado busted though the ice, and Shulk joined his comrades on the next level, wondering what they're all staring at.

Upon catching up with the Ice climbers, they were to be found shivering in each other's arms. They weren't quivering from the cold, but rather, from fear.
Littered across the floor was a cache of vegetables. Some were still fresh, others tagged with large bites carved out of them. The groves of sharp carnivorous fang marks could be found in them without much inspection. They made a trail across the floor toward a large, rumbling creature big enough to fill up a corner by itself.

Frozen in suspense, they were staring down a large, white polar bear, awoken from his nap by the holes broken in his floor. With a deck shaking thuff, the arctic creature rolled his bulky furry body over and lifted his fuzzy head in the direction of our heroes. He majestically stretched out his heavy limbs and let out a thunderous roar of a yawn. Scratching his hide with his hairy paws, the polar bear slowly stood up to his feet, towering over our heroes. He was a mobile mountain in it's own right.
Blinking languidly, he looked down at our heroes, and adjusted his sunglasses.

"No way! It's like, the little Eskimo Bros! I haven't seen you two cubes in an ice age!" The polar bear smiled, pleasantly surprised to see Nana and Popo again. By the look on their faces, the feeling wasn't exactly mutual.
"It's been like foreverest since anybro's even been up here besides those Nitpicking melts. They really harsh my marshmallow. Know what I mean? Like, they actually said pink Wasn't the most bodacious color for a bathing suit!"

He stretched backward, and flexed his fur-wrapped body, showing off just how great a polar bear looks in pink swimming trunks. Whether the gut distending over the trunks was a thick coat of fur or just sheer fat wasn't clear, but would you want to stare at it long enough to figure it out?
"The little sistah knows what I'm talking about." he winked at Nana.
"And her friend the big man anphibian too! Icy scarf, cube!" he complimented Greninjas pink "scarf."
"And check out the cool blue scarf on the elf! You cubes totally got a pink and blue thing going on!" the polar bear compared the ice climbers parkas and Link and Greninja's scarves. "Twice as ice! ...Outrageously Swiss looking surf board, cube." It was finally Shulk's turn to be acknowledged.
"It's like, so pink it's almost red! I love it!"

Greninja looked at the Polar Bear with more curiosity than anything. Said curiosity slowly but surely became progressively more like discomfort as the Polar Bear kept talking. Sure, he didn't mean to do so, but that was kind of...odd.

The ninja frog remained quiet and waved at the Polar Bear, trying to pass of as acting natural before quietly taking some steps back.

[Coolshaymin]

Link kind of just blinked in silence at the polar bear that stood in their way... Darunia was a bit on the chill and bro side but this guy was ridiculous. "What's an elf? I'm a Hylian..." Link muttered in confusion as he looked at Greninja as if he had more clue. He kind of took some steps back with his partner to the situation. He was kind of speechless by this guy's chill attitude.

[heirtothemonado]

Shulk looked at the polar bear with a mixture of confusion and disgust on his face. Even though the bear was speaking English, Shulk didn't have the foggiest idea of what it was saying.
"Uhh.....what?" Shulk asked as the bear rambled on and on about how 'righteous' everything looked in their pink and blue clothing. As he was acknowledged, though, Shulk could only stammer incoherently and wonder what a surfboard was.

"Woah oh my bad bro!" The polar bear quickly corrected myself.
"Hylian. Got it. Pretty chill specials name. How high Do you lean, cube?" he made a funny. Too bad he was laughing too loud he couldn’t hear that no one else was laughing. By the time he finished, his echoes were still rolling over the floor.
"See? The mountain gets it." He settled back into his calm disposition.
"You two cubes look cold." The polar bear curiously commented on the way Nana and Popo were holding each other and shivering.
Looking among their friends, the polar bear
"So… What breeze blows you cubes up here?" the polar bear began to ask, taking the awkward silence as an invitation to keep talking.
“It’s the totally arctic view, isn’t it?” the polar bear gestured toward and basked in the majesty of… the thick icy fog almost completely masking what would otherwise be an amazing view of Li from one of its highest vantage points as if it were a spoiler tag.
"It’s the best sight this sublime sundae of a mountain has to offer.”[/font] he nonchalantly bragged.
“This is the highest you can scale before the jank purple stuff upstairs gets all up in your face.” he shrugged his white shoulders with a wistful sigh.
“That's a real summer too. I hear at the summit you can totally even see the Northern Lights, cubes!” His tone shifted gears from dour reality to excited daydreaming.
“And an endless Christmas tree of twinkling stars! Icing on the cake man!"

Greninja kept quiet until he decided he could try to say that they needed to keep moving.

"Grenin..ninja, grenin. (We are here on an important mission to rid of the mountain of the Starvia.)" The ninja frog tried to articulate without sounding supremely aggressive. "Grenin, greninja. (I humbly request that you  allow us to proceed and free the mountain of the cursed virus.)"

While it was true that this wasn't the exact mission, it was better to put up the most noble intentions first. Maybe he'd grant passage with that on his mind.

[Coolshaymin]

"We need to climb this mountain in order to take care of that 'purple junk!'" Proxi said in agreement to Greninja... Did the fairy understand him in some odd way? Link still did not seem amused by that Hylian comment the polar bear made. "We just need to pass to make sure it is taken care of! If we did that then you would not worry about seeing that sight, right? It's a win-win!" Proxi added. Link continued to look insulted but nodded at Proxi's claims.

[heirtothemonado]

Shulk still wasn't sure he understood anything that the polar bear said, but from what he gathered, it was guessing that they were there for the view.


"Well...no actually. The view is nice, but that 'jank purple stuff' is what we're here for. We need to get rid of it, and we can do that if you would please stand out of the way." Shulk said, still feeling uncomfortable looking at the polar bear.
