"Listen," I said. "I think you have the wrong person, Fawful."
"Fawful makes no such mistakes." He said. "Now you will first assist me with the killing of Bowser. Fawful needs him not."
"NUH-UH." I said. "If you want the world, you're gonna have to earn it."
"Fawful is an adult and therefore, you must obey him." Fawful said.
"Yeah?" I said. "Whatever."
I started walking away.
"Walking away is unacceptable!" Fawful said.
I ignored Fawful and kept walking. He pressed his special button and again I felt the horrible pain of his stupid electrocution.
"That hurts!" I said after falling to my knees from the pain. "Stoppit!"
Fawful closed his eyes and shook his head.
"Then you must cooperate." He said.
I rolled my eyes.
"And why is it that you need MY help?" I asked.
"Because," Fawful said. "The world's most powerful being is you."
"Please stop saying that!" I said. "I'm just a girl."
"There is a lot you don't know about yourself." Fawful said. He grabbed my arm and led me back up the stairs.
"So what happens after you rule the world?" I asked as he had me get into this floating round platform. (You know, the one with the rockets)
"Fawful is not to tell you just yet." He said as the floating thing went outside. He took it all the way to Bowser's castle and landed.
"So you're going to kill him unarmed?" I asked.
"Fawful has already established that you will do the killing." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"You know, the thing about minions is that they are supposed to actually be on your side." I said.
"I have chortles at your stupidity!" Fawful laughed, practically dragging me into Bowser's castle. It turned out Peach was still there because I heard her scream "NOOOO!"
"Humph." Bowser said. "Are you here to fight, Fawful?"
"Indeed." Fawful said. I folded my arms.
"I never agreed to this." I said. Fawful pressed the button on his remote and shocked me.
"GAH! QUIT THAT!" I screamed.
"Hey, that's not fair! She's under your control!" Bowser said. "You're such a coward that you can't even battle me alone!"
"Fawful is no coward, for he is as brave as a meat-cake of victory." He said.
I started to sneak away as he was talking to Bowser. I went to Princess Peach's cage and picked the lock with a hairpin.
"Thank you." She whispered. We walked out of the castle and started talking about where Mario and Luigi could be. I was starting to feel nauseas but I was pretty sure it was nothing.
After about a half hour, Mario and Luigi actually ran up to us. They were covered in blood and exhausted.
"I-I'm sorry I let this happen!" I said. "We can't let him get away with this."
Mario and Luigi exchanged looks.
"Listen…kid…, I think Fawful actually won this time." Mario said.
I gasped.
"Y-You're Mario! YOU CAN'T SAY THAT!" I exclaimed. "We're getting the Mushroom Kingdom back and putting an end to Fawful!"
"…A-Alright." Mario said, and at that exact second, I felt like my stomach had just exploded.
"AUGH!" I screamed. "It hurts!"
I curled up into a little ball on the ground.
"Are you alright?" Peach asked. I couldn't answer because I felt like my throat was closing in.
"Should we do something?" Luigi asked timidly.
That was the last thing I heard before losing consciousness.
When I opened my eyes, I saw a few blurry figures. I blinked a few times and my vision became clear for the most part. I had a horrible headache and could tell I had a fever. I was sure I was in a hospital because I saw a toad in a doctor's uniform. He was talking to Mario, Luigi, and Peach at the moment.
I sat up and pulled my hair back. The doctor looked at me.
"You're awake!" he said with a grin. "You've been out for quite awhile."
"W-What happened?" I asked drowsily.
"Well, you collapsed and we still can't find out why." The doctor said. "Now tell me, are you from around here?"
"Nope." I said.
"Well, where did you come from?"
"Um…a planet called Earth…in the Milky Way…" I said. The doctor gasped.
"You…You're Victoria, aren't you?" he asked, as he was shaking a little. "THEE Victoria?"
"Yeah. That's my name." I said.
"And…You're from…another galaxy?"
"Another dimension actually." I said. "Why? Is something wrong?"
The doctor cleared his throat and calmed down.
"It seems that your body can't fight off any sicknesses off of your home planet. You're not immune to them. You're vulnerable to almost every disease we know of." He said, writing some information on his chart. "If you don't get treatment, you'll be affected by every virus you're exposed to. And I'm afraid that even a refreshroom won't help you much."
"Do you have any medication I could take?" I asked.
"Well, I could prescribe you some pills that boost your immune system but…it comes with side effects." He said.
"What kind of side effects?" I wondered.
"Well, there's nausea, headaches, trouble sleeping, lightheadedness, sweating, blurry vision, fatigue, swelling, bloating, fainting, and a few deaths were reported. I only recommend this to patients who desperately need it. And since the medication was made for…normal people, there's no telling what it could do to you. It might even backfire."
"Normal people?" I asked in a frustrated demeanor, "I'm normal!"
"You're funny." He said with a tiny grin. "Now, how do you feel right now?"
"Horrible." I said. "I think I'm seeing auras." (Some people see them before migraines)
"Any pain or anything?" he asked.
That's when I remembered something.
"H-hey, I have this chip in my arm. Can you get it out?" I asked.
"A chip? What kind of chip?"
"Almost like...a computer chip." I said.
"Is it there for any particular reason?" the doctor asked.
"Well, Fawful put it there to-"
"FAWFUL?" he asked, backing away a little. "Listen, please, for the sake of our lives, STAY AWAY FROM HIM."
"I'm trying to." I said. "Could you please get it out?"
"You'll need an appointment for that. I could write you in for 10:00 tomorrow." He said. "But it would require a minor surgery."
"No, no, I need to get going. I really have to stop Fawful." I said.
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that. I know we're in a dire situation but it will become worse if he takes advantage of your powers." He said.
"How come everyone knows my name and that I have powers?" I asked.
"Well…" he said. "We've been kind of waiting for you."
"Huh?" I asked.
"I think I've said too much. Anyhow, keep out of harm's way. It'll bite you in the butt if you don't."
"But if I don't do something, everyone will be under Fawful's control." I said.
"But if you fail-"
"I won't! I've beaten Fawful before and I'll do it again!" I said.
"Yes, but that was much easier. All you had to do was press some buttons and then he was gone. It won't be too easy now that you're HERE." He said.
"I'll just put my best foot forward!" I said.
"Yeah, if you want your leg burnt to a crisp and your face pounded to a pulp." He murmured.
"Hey," I said. "I would be willing to risk anything for you guys!"
"I understand." The doctor said. "But…Fawful is just too powerful. He's already turning people into slaves. We barely even beat him last time! And now he's even stronger."
"I know…but Mario and Luigi have always been able to beat him!" I said.
"Yes, I know. I'm really sorry but I highly implore you not to-"
"Please! I promise I'll be successful! I'll put an end to Fawful! I'll make sure he knows never to mess with us again!"
The doctor sighed.
"Fine." He said. "But if anything happens, just remember I TOLD YOU SO."
"Okay." I said, nodding. He handed me a prescription.
"Be careful." He said as I slowly got up.
"I will." I said as we left the room. We picked up the medication and began heading back to Bowser's castle.
