Chapter 2: Message from A Fan

(Somewhere high up in the Mushroom Kingdom)

The vortex rift opened up in the sky above the Mushroom Kingdom and literal random junk began falling from the sky. Eventually, Beep-O fell out of that vortex, but two mechanical rabbit ears appeared above his head. Just as Beep-O noticed this, a Rabbid sitting on a toilet while holding a newspaper dropped by behind him.

Beep-O- Why the hell do I have ears now?!

Suddenly, the Rabbid with the SupaMerge headset fell on him from above, even though they were both still falling from the sky.

Beep-O- Well, I hope you're HAPPY, you little ****ing creation!

Just then, the SupaMerge began to malfunction again and sparks shoot every which way from it. The energy from the SupaMerge swarmed around the Rabbid and the Rabbid was transformed into a more cartoonish version of himself, but still wearing the SupaMerge headset. The Rabbid tried to take the SupaMerge off, but it was now good and suck. Before Beep-O could do anything, another Rabbid riding a giant paint brush rammed into the Rabbid with the SupaMerge. The Rabbid wearing the SupaMerge was now riding on the brush as well, but the Rabbid riding it first was not happy with another Rabbid riding it and began yelling at the Rabbid with the SupaMerge. The Rabbid wearing the SupaMerge freaked out and shot a beam from the SupaMerge, fusing the other Rabbid and the brush, turning it into some new kind of Rabbid with a cell laser gun. The Rabbid with the SupaMerge began firing the merge beam all over as he continued to fall.

Beep-O- Stop that, you retard! You've already overheated the SupaMerge enough!

The Rabbid wearing the SupaMerge just shot another beam out of panic and pushed itself away from Beep-O. Then Beep-O looked above him and saw the Rabbids' washing machine with one crazy Rabbid still inside of it about to land right on top of him.

Beep-O- Oh shit!

Luckily, before Beep-O was about to get squashed, a red blur quickly rushed passed Beep-O and pulled him out of danger.

(On the ground somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom)

Mario had just landed on the ground after saving Beep-O who was also safe on the ground and no longer falling.

Mario- Hey little guy, are you ok?

Beep-O- I think so.

Then Sonic, Ty, and Shantae rushed in.

Sonic- Mario, who's your new friend?

Mario- I don't know. Wait a minute…where's DK?!

Ty- I think we might've somehow lost him when we followed you through that vortex, mate.

Mario put his palm over his face.

Mario- God damn it! Now we have another missing friend we're gonna have to find in this mess!

Suddenly, Sonic's ear began to twitch and Sonic began to look around him.

Shantae- Sonic, is something wrong?

Sonic- Do any of you guys hear somethi…

Before Sonic could finish, a Rabbid fell from the sky and landed in a nearby bush. The Rabbid was wearing a long blond wig, a crown like Peach's, and wearing a pink frilly shirt.

Ty- What the…

Before anyone could do anything, the cries of another Rabbid could be heard as it was falling from the sky. This Rabbid resembling Peach rushed around the area trying to catch this falling Rabbid, but it ended up faceplanting the ground. This new Rabbid was wearing a hat that looked like Luigi's hat and was wearing a long green shirt.

Shantae- First this creature that dresses like Princess Peach and now this one like Luigi.

Beep-O- They're called Rabbids. They're known for causing chaos, but one of them stole an experimental invention called the SupaMerge and caused all this.

Mario- At least Tabuu is not behind this…this really isn't his style anyway…

Beep-O- Before that idiot Rabbid began playing with the SupaMerge like it was a toy, a few of those other Rabbids were crossplaying as you and your friends, like Princess Peach and your brother.

Mario- So, they're like a Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi?

Ty- That's a strange way of putting it, mate.

Mario- Have to address them by something.

Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach at the same time- Bwah!

Then they noticed a bunch of those Rabbids that were transformed after being fused with a brush were using super glue to stick a bunch of Goomba's together and rolled them over to Mario and the others. Then those Rabbids began running towards another area.

Sonic- Ok…this is a little weird…

Beep-O- Those Rabbids, they seem driven to cause chaos and mayhem…more so than usual, even. But unlike our two friends here, they seem to have been…corrupted by that Rabbid wearing the SupaMerge headset.

Ty- Could it be that this SupaMerge got damaged as it and those…things…crossed over here. Based on what I got so far, this sort of looks like the aftermath of a system overheating malfunction.

Beep-O- How did you…

Mario- Ty's the tech expert in my group. Believe me, he knows a lot about technology.

Ty- Maybe I can fix the headset, mate.

Beep-O- First, we'll have to catch that Rabbid wearing it.

Sonic- That should be no prob for me. I'm the world's fastest hedgehog!

Shantae- Settle down, Sonic. We don't even know where that Rabbid is.

Mario- Hey you two.

Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach looked at Mario.

Mario- You wouldn't happen to have any idea where to find the Rabbid wearing a strange device on its head?

Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach starred at Mario with a blank expression of their faces for a few seconds. Then Rabbid Peach felt something in her pocket, reached for it, and pulled out a pink cell phone.

Rabbid Peach- Bhaw! Baw baw bhaww!

Rabbid Luigi- Baaw!

Then Rabbid Peach began taking selfies of herself and Rabbid Luigi.

Sonic- Uh…I don't think they'll be of much help, Mario.

Shantae- Maybe if we follow those Rabbids we just met earlier, they might lead us to the one with the SupaMerge. After all, that Rabbid is the one creating them.

Mario- I guess it's the only lead we got.

Mario, Sonic, Ty, Shantae, Beep-O, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Luigi began running down the path those other Rabbids from earlier took. Without any warning, a laser was shot at Mario. Mario's hat was suddenly lying on the ground when Rabbid Peach and Rabbid Luigi caught up. At first, they had a worried expression of their faces…until Mario rushed back to pick up his hat and hide behind a giant brick block as cover.

Mario- Shit! That was close!

Sonic, Ty, and Shantae were hiding behind the same brick block as Mario, but Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach were standing behind another block as cover. However, Beep-O was still in the line of fire from the Rabbids shooting a laser at them. Beep-O was barely able to dodge them, but Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach took enjoyment out of Beep-O's situation.

Beep-O- Help…Me…I…Can't…Get clear…

Rabbid Luigi clapped his hands like you would expect someone to do while watching someone square dance at a hoedown while Rabbid Peach jumping up and down like she was trying to imitate Beep-O. All while at the same time, both Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach were laughing. Eventually, Beep-O managed to get behind the same cover as Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Peach.

Beep-O- Well thank you two little ****ers SOOO much! How about you two go out there and try dodging their fire?!

Mario- To be honest, we're sitting ducks out here. We need to get passed them without getting blasted somehow.

Shantae- Sonic, can't you just rush passed them?

Sonic- I can only grab two at a time. Also, Ty almost vomited on me the last time I dragged him while running at top speed. If only I hadn't left the Chaos Emeralds at home!

Suddenly, a letter icon like you'd see on a computer appeared over Beep-O's head.

Beep-O- What the…?! I've got a message? Let's see.

Beep-O opened the message and read it.

Beep-O- Dearest Beep-O, whose bravery, intelligence, and compassion stand as a beacon of hope for us all. If my timing is correct, you are in dire need of help. Please open the attachments to this message. Their receipt is most auspicious, I assure you. Signed, your biggest fan.

As soon as Beep-O opened the attachments, a blue light appeared from Beep-O's head and a few strange weapons appeared from that blue light. An arm cannon similar to the laser the Rabbids were using appeared in front of Mario, a small gun that shoots spinning laser discs appeared in front of Sonic, a set of boomerangs that looked like upgraded versions of Ty's elemental-rangs appeared in front of Ty, and flamethrower cannon appeared in front of Shantae. Rabbid Peach got an arm cannon too and Rabbid Luigi got a laser yo-yo as his cell weapon.

Shantae- Wow! That's some attachment that message had.

Ty quickly examined the Lavarangs, Freezerangs, and Thunderang.

Ty- These weapons feel very similar to the tech in the weapons we've seen Tabuu's followers use. But at the same time, they don't feel as nasty.

Mario- Either way, we're gonna need these to fight those Rabbids.

Mario grabbed the arm cannon and it fit him like a glove. Mario quickly stepped from the corner of the cover he was hiding behind and fired a laser from his arm cannon. The laser hit one of the Rabbids, a blue light appeared around the Rabbid, and it suddenly vanished. Before the other Rabbids could react, they were hit with Sonic, Ty, Shantae, Rabbid Peach, and Rabbid Luigi's cell weapons too and were instantly whisked away by a bright blue light.

Sonic- I'm usually not one to use weapons, but this one seems pretty cool. Those spinning saw blades almost resemble my spin dash form.

Ty- Glad you're enjoying this, Sonic. I've got a feeling things are gonna get even crazier soon.

Mario- I think Ty might be right. We should get back to finding that SupaMerge before things get too out of control.

Beep-O- That was nice of my biggest fan to send us those cell weapons. I wonder who that could've been.

After Mario and the others left that area, a mysterious figure in a black cloak was standing in the background. Next to him was an adorable looking robot girl with long pink hair and bright blue eyes, almost like she was designed by the developers for the Kirby games. They mysterious figure snapped his fingers and him and the robot girl vanished as their bodies appeared to have turned into smoke.
