Chapter 1: Palutena the Executioner
Day 1: 15 remain.
I was plucked up from the crowd before I could even get in a word of protest. Of course he decided to remove me first due to my godly powers. The next thing I saw after being thrown into the portal was a wheel with one of the Hands wearing a stupid hat floating next to it. The wheel was spun and, for me, it stopped on something called "Executioner".
I saw the Executioner thing again then a label underneath, saying "An obsessed lyncher who will stop at nothing to execute his target". Before I knew what that would entail, I found myself in a small replica of my tower. Next to me was a crude drawing of that delightful child, Bowser Jr., with the etchings of Kill him! and Get him lynched! underneath in blood red. I thought No problem. As long as he doesn't squeal, he should be fine.
I walked out of the temple to find myself on a piece of blue pixelated field with fourteen other people: Captain Falcon, Olimar, Kirby, Charizard, those eskimos from earlier, Pac-Man, Meta Knight, Dr. Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Bayonetta, Peach, Cloud, and finally my target, Bratty Bowser. A retro wolf howl began to sound and all of us felt the need to come back inside as the field darkened.
Night 1: 15 remain.
I couldn't do anything besides write a letter or go to sleep. Since sleep is for mortals, I decided to write. It was nothing special that I was writing, just the fact that I wanted to win this game honestly and alive. Here was to hoping that I would live to get through this. About a minute later, the field brightened up again outside my window and I decided to go out.
Day 2: 14 remain.
When we came out in the morning, we found an incinerated eskimo. A mournful 8-bit piano tune began to play as we looked over at him. A voice came out of nowhere to tell us the obvious. "The Ice Climbers died last night. They were killed by the Mafia. We could find no will. We found a death note." *Oh look, you're dead again. Who'd have thought?* "We could not determine their role."
Everyone discussed about how Meta Knight died. It had to be someone who knew how to use fire, meaning Captain Falcon, Olimar, me, Zelda, Charizard, and Bowser Jr. were the suspects. Since I knew that I had to kill him at some point, I pointed fingers at Bowser Junior. Charizard stayed quiet for some reason, Olimar as well, and Zelda decided to reveal herself as a Mayor, which seemed to be an important position for whatever side she was on. Bowser Jr. kicked up a tantrum. "What the heck I did nothing! Where's Daddy, I'm so mad!"
Since I didn't know what any of these roles meant, I told Zelda that Bowser Jr. was dangerous, and that he needed to be stopped before anyone else could get burned. I had no idea if he was actually the culprit or not, but if I "won", that was all that mattered.
We eventually voted and all of us put him on trial. He cried some more about how we would be in huge trouble with Bowser if we killed him, not understanding that this was just a game and he'd be safe in a few minutes. We all voted, and the majority of us voted Guilty for him. He bawled some more until a ghost floated down on him. He folded over in two ways then disappeared. "We found a final will." *I hope Daddy knows I tried to do a good job.* "He was a Jailor." The Jailor thing had a green inflection, meaning I likely did a bad thing in succeeding. As I walked inside, I apologized for an honest mistake.
Night 2: 13 remain.
I went back into my temple, conflicted about what I did. I had no idea that Bowser Jr. wasn't doing evil but then again, what if he tried to kill someone that was supposed to be good? As I pondered that question, the field lighted up again and all of us walked out.
Day 3: 10 remain.
We came out, surprised to see a lot of remains: Pac-Man incinerated in the same fashion as the eskimo, as well as Captain Falcon's helmet and Peach's crown covered in drool. The music started again as the voice stated "Pac-Man died last night. He was killed by the Mafia. We could find no will. We found a death note." *The ghosts told us to do this.* "We could not determine his role." This was rather distressing, never knowing the roles.
"Captain Falcon died last night. He was mauled by the Werewolf. We found a final will." *I didn't think I could use cars here, but cool!* "We found a death note." *Om nom nom!* "He was a Transporter." Another green-sounding guy. I have a feeling that a lot of us were green here.
"Princess Peach died last night. She was mauled by the Werewolf. We found a final will." *They have no sense of cleanliness!* "We found a death note." *Om nom nom!* "She was a Janitor." This one sounded red. I suppose this was the Mafia we kept hearing about.
Cloud, usually a very quiet guy, piped up at once. "Alright, is anyone else constantly being interrupted by someone?" Everyone shook their heads, including me. "Well, it's quite distracting, so kindly stop it." Since none of us really knew what to go on, we went through the discussion and voting phases without actually doing anything.
Night 3: 10 remain.
I was about to read some more to wait out the night when all of a sudden I was attacked by Charizard. He flew up to my window and breathed a puff of fire in my face. Luckily, I was apparently immune at night because I took the fire about as well as Hades in the underworld. Charizard growled in confusion for a second then got punched in the face by Dr. Mario. He turned his head towards me and said "For killing one of-a my enemies, I'll save your life."
I widened my eyes. Wow, was this what happened every night? This was amazing! Charizard flew over to Dr. Mario and breathed fire again as he created lightning from his hands. A collision happened between the two of them and they were in crumpled heaps on the blue tiled ground. Donkey Kong, in ill-fitting surgical gear, eventually walked over to Dr. Mario and shoved a banana in his mouth. The plumber slowly got up and, together with the ape, walked away from the dead dragon.
Day 4: 9 remain.
The only dead person that morning was Charizard, singed black by electrical burns. That same piano music played as the voice went on. "Charizard died last night. He was killed by a Bodyguard. We found a final will." *Alright, you know your jobs. Avenge me.* "He was a Mafioso." I didn't have to hear the red in his voice to understand he was part of the Mafia.
I slammed my staff on the ground, making a muffled *ding* noise instead of the *thunk* I needed. "Alright, so whoever else decides to kill me, I can't be killed at night. Got it? Good. Now... does anyone have any idea who is what besides Zelda being the mayor?"
Cloud spoke up. "I'm a... sheriff, but I keep getting distracted by someone before I get out of my house."
Zelda tilted her head. "Who is this someone?"
"I can't tell but it was definitely a woman."
I crossed my arms. "Well, I was almost murdered last night so that counts me out." Zelda did the same. "I am obviously innocent. So that leaves..." All of us looked over at Bayonetta, who was busy cleaning her glasses in a vaguely sexually appealing manner.
She paused for a second then put them on. "Wait a bloody second. Are you really suspecting me just because I'm the only other woman?"
Everyone said in unison, "Yes."
However, only Zelda and I voted for her. The rest got the benefit of the doubt, I suppose, and I don't exactly blame them.
Night 4: 9 remain.
I read some more the next night. This game was turning out to be much more fun than I realized. It beat having to prevent the end of the world for the seventeenth time because of a random tantrum from someone, that was for sure. I had no visitors tonight. As the field lit up, I was wondering how the others were doing.
Day 5: 6 remain.
There were a few more dead people this morning. The first was Dr. Mario, my hero from the night before, with a gaping hole in his burn-covered chest. "Dr. Mario died last night. He was killed by the Mafia. We found a final will." *I think I did-a pretty well for something I never did before.* "We found a death note." *You have killed our leader. Never again.* "He was a Bodyguard." I felt a little bit sorry for the good doctor, even though I knew that he'd come back at the end of the game.
The next was Bayonetta... or at least her broken glasses. Like Peach and Captain Falcon before her, they were the only remains of her after the Werewolf was done with her. "Bayonetta died last night. She was mauled by the Werewolf. We found a final will." *Just when I fought I found a better dancer, he kills me. Good bloody luck on that one.* "We found a death note." *Om nom nom!* "She was a Consort." Another Mafia-sounding name. I was glad that more of them were being taken care of to be honest.
The final one was Cloud's giant sword, sticking out of the ground like a discarded toothpick. "Cloud died last night. He was mauled by the Werewolf. We found a final will." *I can finally investigate-oh good Genova why.* "He was a Sheriff." Apparently, the Werewolf didn't care who he ate.
Olimar, the quiet little alien, cleared his throat then said in his usual modulated voice, [I know who the remaining mafia agent is, thanks to the dead.] He pointed a wavering finger over to Meta Knight. Truth be told, there was a lot less of a glint in his eye than normal.
After an exchange of glances between all of us, we decided Why not? We could figure out who the werewolf was tomorrow morning. All of us voted for him and he walked up to the center of our circle. He spoke in a monotone not quite like him. "We knew we should not have trusted the likes of Charizard. It does not matter what happens. The werewolf will murder all of you and we will gloat over your corpses." Two laughs broke out. Freaked out, we voted for him post-haste.
As the ghost came down, he turned into the eskimos from before. They cackled together, holding hands as they disappeared the same way as Bowser Jr. did about a week ago. The voice came up again. "We found a final will." *We have fooled you all.* "He... they were mafiosos." Confused at this turn of events, we all went back inside.
Night 5: 5 remain.
The final night was very quiet compared to the other ones. I was honestly surprised that the words of my will came true for me. I wracked my brain for who could be the final bad guy to overcome. Zelda was the Mayor, so she was out. I saw Donkey Kong heal Dr. Mario when I was attacked, so he was out too. Olimar was right about who the last Mafia agent was, so I trusted him. That left...
Day 6: 5 remain.
All four of us seemed to think the same thing as we looked at Kirby walking out of his house. He tilted his giant round head-body and asked "What is wrong? No one's dead now, right?"
Zelda said "Well... everyone else combined knows what our roles are, except for you... Care to explain?"
Kirby began to sweat a bit. "Um... look, I was very hungry and I wanted a snack. I didn't know that swallowing them would kill them!" We collectively crossed our arms and executed him. He tried to float out but the ghost caught up to him and made him disappear. Abruptly, we were forced out of the blue fields. I hope that tomorrow, I can go again as a different role.
