*still in underground river*
"ugh...it feels as if this thing goes on forever....huh?...
My my, what a error I've made it appears as if this river goes on forever,"
*looking up at hole he early fell from*
"this place is puzzling...I'll return here later"
*enables booster shoes jumps back out of the hole*
*Hallway is now lighted with torches*
"Hmm someone has been here, but who?"
*looks further on down hallway and sees the Bomb-Omb Bro*
"Finally something to kill!..."
"Thunder strike!"
*Bomb-Omb Bro explodes and reveals a portal at the side of the wall*
"Hmm? is it possible that the portal previous to this one is linked?"
"Let's give it a try!"
*jumps though portal and is at the portal near the base of the winding staircase*
*begins to trek upward*
*sees MM4848*
"well, well, well! we meet again!"
"I'd like to know just who you are and what business you have doing here"
"you DO have a reason for being here do you?....if so, what is it?"
