I ran into a dark room and sat in a corner, my face buried in my palms as I sobbed. I couldn't believe he would do this to me. Pretending to love me one minute then I turn around and he's flirting with Princess Peach. Suddenly, the lights went up and a rather robotic sounding voice filled the room. "Hello, Shiloh, princess of the Underwhere and future owner of the Palace of Shadow. What brings you here?" TEC said, his webcam focused on me. I quickly wiped my eyes and put on a weak smile.
"No specific reason, TEC. I just...wanted to be alone."
"I saw what happened, Shiloh, princess of the Underwhe-"
"Please, just call me Shiloh."
"Confirmed. I will re-evaluate the information stored in my data banks. Beside that matter, I saw the incident between you, Sir Grodus, and Princess Peach. I was going to proceed to warn you, but I had no possible way of direct communication and, obviously, somebody cannot read morse code."
"I could really use without your smart remarks, TEC." I hesitated for a moment, then stood up slowly. "May I use your communicator?"
"Of course."
I pulled up a nearby chair and sat criss cross in it. My hair looked a mess, and my make-up was running but I didn't care. I was going to get my revenge on Grodus and I knew yygreyhexactly who to contact for help. I clicked the call button and waited for his face to pop up on the screen. When it finally did, a devious smile formed across his face. "So you've finally realized what an asshole Grodus is."
"Whatever. Crump, can I come stay with you for a while? Just until I can figure out a plan to make his sorry ass regret hurting me."
"I assume you are talking about revenge, and I know just how to do it."
"Really? Tell me how, now!"
"Okay, okay. Calm your pretty little tits." Lord Crump said lustfully, causing me to blush and slightly tug up my shirt. "Grodus is after a certain treasure, as is a certain mustachioed man named 'Mario'. Grodus kidnapped Peach to get information about that treasure, and Mario is against Grodus."
"Yeah, so what?"
"So, all we have to do is tag along with this Mario guy and help him collect the treasure before Grodus and ruin his plans. Now tell me, have you ever heard of...
Crystal Stars?"
