The group of 17 began walking back to the hotel in a forest near the creek.
"Alright, can someone tell me why we're going back to the Hotel in a FOREST when we should be walking to there in the City?" Daisy asked.
"Are you kidding me? The entire city is practically dangerous with every criminal around a corner! No way will we be able to survive that!" Goombario complained.
"Oh yeah and a forest is SOOOOO much safer." Said Wendy sarcastically while rolling her eyes.
"IF YOU WANNA KEEP COMPLAINING, THEN GO WALK IN THE CITY THEN! NO ONE EVER ASKED YOU TO WALK WITH US!" Mario screamed. They were all surprised at his sudden outburst.
"Huh...you know Mario, you sure have been acting weird and quiet the whole time we have been here and now you just all suddenly exploded in anger? Seems too suspicious if you ask me..." Goombella said. Everyone was starting to get more confused from her accusation.
"Wait what are you talking about? Are you saying that we shouldn't trust Mario?" Asked Peach with fear in her eyes.
"No but I definitely think we should keep our eyes out for him. Just because he's a national hero doesn't mean we can trust him so much." She answered.
"Maybe you're the one we shouldn't trust." Parakarry spoke.
"Excuse me?" Goombella replied.
"I said, maybe you're the one we shouldn't trust." He repeated.
"Come to think of it, you're super smart Goombella so you can easily come up with a diabolical plan to backstab any one of us...even Goombario." Said Toadette.
"Oh you gotta be kidding me. So because I'm a genius, I'm gonna most likely gonna hurt someone? That's a complete generalization and an ignorant one at that." Goombella said. She was getting more and more ticked off.
"Well, no. But IF someone were to backstab any of us, it would most likely be you because you are the smartest one here." Toadette said again. Goombella clenched her teeth.
"Wait!" Toad yelled. "What about Goombario? He's just as smart as Goombella!"
"WHAT? Stop trying to put the suspicions on me you moron! If you think I'm the evil one in this group, then you have another thing coming!" Goombario yelled.
"Overly defensive much? And you already seem to be getting incredibly nervous as well." Dixie pointed out. They were all starting to turn against each other.
"Well what about you Miss Banana Hair!" Yelled Mimi. "You were the FIRST one to throw suspicion on Birdo! Maybe you only did that to make yourself look innocent!"
"Give me a break, it's obvious that Birdo is the current backstabber of us at the moment. Stop jumping to conclusions." Dixie replied, rolling her eyes.
"Maybe Birdo is actually innocent?" DK spoke. Everyone looked at him.
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME? She was the one who lead us to the basement to try to find some "person" she saw run in there, we couldn't find the "person" and all of a sudden this box explodes, releasing a deadly gas that killed Rosalina. That was NOT a coincidence!" Dixie shouted.
"Sorry Dixie but you sure seem to jump at Birdo a lot. Ever thought that maybe she was forced to either do it or be killed?" Koops said. Everyone wonder about that actually.
"Well...umm...I actually didn't think about that. But still, the chances that she's backstabbing us are still high." Dixie said with an impatient look on her face.
"Well, the point here guys is that you can not take every single little that someone says or does and label it as suspicious. Birdo is most likely the betrayer of all of us and I'm pretty sure all of you agree with that, so let's just stick with that suspicion for now." Miss Mowz stated. Everyone seemed to agree with her.
"Birdo was right about our plan not working though. Even I thought it wouldn't work." Yoshi spoke. Everyone looked towards him.
"Pffft. Anyone could have predicted that the plan wouldn't work. She just got lucky, that's all." Dixie said with a slightly angry look.
"Why do you continue to jump on Birdo's case? We pretty much know that she's the betrayer of the group and yet you still act way too offensive towards her." Goombario said in a cocky way. Goombella gave a weird look towards him.
"Because I want to make sure that all of you know that Birdo is working with the mastermind behind this." Dixie hesitantly answered. Luigi raised his eyebrow.
"...Right. Let's just keep going." Goombario suspiciously said while Dixie just shook her head.
Dixie: I don't believe this, I'm getting suspected just cause I suspect Birdo being a part of the mastermind's plans and it's SO obvious that she is!
Luigi: I'm so worried now. We are all turning against each other and I have a feeling it could lead to someone getting killed.
Goombella: This is just getting to be ridiculous. I need some trust-worthy on my side so I won't have to look as suspicious...
Mario: Ha! They seriously think I'm also the betrayer as well? Please, they don't even have a clue, all they have is assumptions...
HOTEL:
"Screw it. Whatever happens, will happen." Birdo said to herself. She put the "Extra Flavor" bottle on a small shelf that was right near the stove and oven. She quickly ran out of the kitchen and in to the living room as she didn't even want to think about what she did anymore.
RING!
The telephone on the reception desk gave out an extremely loud ring noise that almost gave Birdo a heart attack. She walked fast over to the phone. She wanted to pick it up and answer it, but at the same time, she didn't want to. She decided to just pick it up anyway.
"H-hello?" Birdo stuttered. She was scared on what the person on the other line might make her do next.
"Good. I'm glad you followed all my instructions. You are free to go now and as I promised, here is your advantage..." The raspy voice said.
Suddenly a box was thrown in to the hotel and landed perfectly on the floor. Birdo was again, surprised by the sudden "advantage" that appeared. She quickly opened the box, eager to find what's inside and found...
A big laser blaster. Birdo gasped as she had only seen this kind of stuff only on the internet. There was also a note inside:
This can only be used once, so use it wisely. And try to keep it hidden from the others! - Annastasia.
"Oh...my god. This is just...wow, I can't even explain it. This will DEFINITELY come in use if those assholes try to gang up on me." Birdo said to herself with yet another devious smile. She grabbed the laser blaster and put it in her duffel bag and threw the box away. Birdo didn't even care at this point if someone got posioned by the "Extra Flavor" bottle as she already has a very useful weapon to use just in case anyone proves that she put that there. Now all she had to do is wait for the others to come back...
The group had surprisingly made it to the Hotel unharmed and fine. But they were all still suspicious of each other even more now because of what has been said and done.
"Oh, let me guess: both cars broke down and you had to walk all the way back here?" Birdo asked with a smirk.
"Yeah yeah, you were right the whole time so don't even rub it in please..." Diddy said, annoyed.
"So what were YOU doing this whole time? Helping out the evil mastermind's plans?" Mimi said. Birdo got angry again but decided to stay calm for now.
"Nope. I just sat here the whole time you were gone. Any other questions?" Birdo asked, trying to hold back her smirk.
"...No." Mario answered. Everyone was still suspicious of Birdo but they weren't as high cause of all the accusations that were made after the car crashes.
"Well what should we do now guys? It's obvious we're not gonna sleep over this so, should we try to find some clues?" Miss Mowz asked, pacing back and forth.
"I have a good idea!" Luigi snapped. "Why don't I bake all of us pancakes? I'm pretty sure all of us very hungry and tired and Food will definitely fuel us up! What do you say?"
"Pancakes? ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?" Toad screamed. "Of course you should you bake them! I'm so hungry, I could eat a barbecued dog!"
"Yeeeaahhh...anyways, so I shall go do that and hopefully the food will help take our minds off this for a while." Said Luigi then happily ran to the kitchen.
"Well at least we get something to eat. I'm definitely gonna eat a lot." Wendy said.
"Man, I need to make an alliance or something. I'm the second most suspected one here so I have to find people I trust, defend me." Dixie whispered to herself while looking around. She smirked as she saw Toad, Toadette, Peach, Wendy, and Yoshi. Dixie pulled Diddy to her first.
"What are you doing?" Diddy whispered loudly.
"Shush! I'm making an alliance here. You HAVE to be a part of it or else I don't know what I would do. Peach, Wendy, Toad, Toadette, and Yoshi will join as well." Dixie told him.
"Why? What's the point of all this?" He asked.
"Cause I'm the 2nd most suspected person in the group and if Birdo dies, they will go after me next and those 5, including you, are the ones that I trust the most." She explained.
"Well...alright then." Diddy sighed.
Dixie quickly walked around the room and got the 5 to come with her near the end of the left hallway along with Diddy.
"Okay what is the meaning of all this?" Wendy pouted.
"I'm forming an alliance and I want you all to be a part of it cause I think I trust you guys the most." Dixie explained.
"But what is the point of this though? Everyone should be working together, not a small group of people!" Peach said.
"I know, but you must realize that you can't trust every person here but I trust you guys the most and you have to trust me. Together, we can all dominate whoever is the most suspicious in the group and take them out with ease. What do you say?" Dixie quickly said, trying to catch her breath. Everyone gave her a different look.
"But how should we trust you that you won't backstab us in the future then?" Toadette asked.
"Because I'm the one who made this alliance, so why is there any need to backstab any one of you anyway?" She asked.
"Good point. Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to join you, Dixie." Toad said with a smile.
"Good! But you can't tell ANYONE though! Doing that will only cause major suspicion on me, got it?" Dixie said, and everyone immediately understood and the 5 left to go back in the Lobby room.
"Hey...how come you didn't ask DK to join the alliance?" Diddy asked. Dixie's eyes got more open.
"Because DK is a major threat. He is the strongest person in the group and will definitely stop at no limit to beat someone up. So basically, he will overpower the alliance if he finds out something suspicious about us that's actually not. So you can NOT tell him whatsoever!" She demanded.
"Sigh...alright then..."
In the kitchen, Luigi was just about done with the pancakes. He got a plate out and set the big pile on it and got out a bar of butter and syrup from a mini-fridge.
"Right then! This should totally taste good and calm us down and- hello, what's this?" Luigi said to himself, noticing a small bottle that had a tiny paper taped on it, written: Use this for extra flavor!
"Extra flavor, huh? Well I guess it couldn't hurt!" Luigi said excitedly and sprinkled the cinnamon-y like ingredient over each pancake.
Back in the Lobby, everyone was getting impatient cause they were all so hungry and wanted to re-fuel their energy.
"God, I am so FREAKIN hungry! WHEN ARE THE PANCAKES GONNA BE DONE?" Goombario shouted and starting pacing fast back and forth.
"Just calm down, Goombario. It should be ready any minute now." Goombella said. She actually think he was gonna go crazy.
"Well if it doesn't then I swear to god I am gonna someone eat myself!" He shouted. A few people gasped.
"Please, you wouldn't eat someone and I REALLY doubt that you're THAT hungry. Sit the hell down." Mario said.
"You don't know ME, Mario! I get hungry and starve easily and that's how it is for every Goomba, right Goombella?" Goombario said in a fast way.
"Um...no. I've researched about the Goomba body back at U Goom and it has basically the same functions as the human being and actually the average Goomba doesn't get as hungry as easily that the human body does." She stated. Everyone gave Goombario a dirty look.
"Oh, what do you know anyway? BRING ON THE PANCAKES!" Goombario yelled in a rush.
"Umm the fact that she's one of the smartest goombas ever furthers the evidence of that. I think you're up to something..." Mimi said.
"Up to something? Don't make me laugh! I'm one of the more innocent ones here!" Said Goombario with a smirk.
"Nobody here is innocent..." Parakarry whispered.
"Pancakes are ready!" Luigi happily announced as he carried a stack of paper plates that haf a lot of pancakes on top of the top plate.
"FINALLY!" Everyone cheered and ran to Luigi and grabbed a pancake and a paper plate.
"YES! I WON'T STARVE TO DEATH LIKE I ALWAYS DREAMED I WOULD!" Toad cheered and started eating his pancake like crazy.
Everyone got their pancake and sat down first, while people were passing around the butter and syrup. No one ate their pancake yet except for Toad, because they wanted it to taste extra good with the butter and syrup.
"Thanks Luigi. We owe you big time for this." Daisy smiled.
"Don't mention it! I'm just glad we finally got something to eat that will hopefully put us in a better mood." Luigi said, while spreading butter all over his pancake.
"Gosh, this pancake looks like HEAVEN to me! Pass the syrup please!" Mimi said with excitement.
"Let's just hope that these pancakes aren't poisoned!" Parakarry said outloud. Everyone looked to him with scared looks.
"Or maybe I shouldn't have said that..."
"Great job moron, now you're gonna make us all paranoid!" Goombario yelled.
"HEY! I WAS JUST SPEAKING MY THOUGHTS!" Parakarry lashed back.
"Well maybe you should do less speaking then!" Goombario yelled back.
"WILL YOU PLEASE JUST STOP THIS!" Miss Mowz screamed and they both looked at her. "We're not gonna get anywhere with this if we keep yelling at each other all the time! So please just stop it!"
Everyone was silent for a minute.
"OHHHHHHH!" Toad screamed and fell to the floor on his back, holding his stomach.
"TOAD! What's going on? PLEASE TELL ME!" Toadette cried and shook him.
"God...my stomach feels like it's gonna explode..." Toad uttered. Toadette started to cry.
"Wait, so those pancakes were poisoned!" Koops said shockingly. Everyone looked at Birdo.
"Oh yes, Birdo MUST have done this because she's being falsely accused of being a betrayer. You guys are beyond ridiculous." Birdo said, rolling her eyes yet again.
"It's pretty obvious you're the backstabber here, Birdo. You led us into the basement where you "saw" someone, but no one was there and Rosalina was killed and you were left behind for a long while because our cars crashed and we had to walk home, so who knows what you could've done while we were gone?" Diddy explained.
"I say, the evidence is highly stacked upon you. You are definitely backstabber material." Goombella said.
"You might as well just confess now, seeing as there is nowhere else to run." Mario said threateningly. Everyone except Toad and Toadette were backing her in to a corner and Birdo was getting nervous by the second.
"Shoot! They are so on to me! I need a backup plan...AHA!" Birdo though, and tried not to smirk.
"Birdo...how could you do this? And why would you do this?" Yoshi asked, his eyes getting a bit watery.
"Well, I...I..." Birdo stuttered and looked at the floor to see that her duffel bag was right next to her. She quickly zipped it open, got out the big laser blaster and aimed it.
"SHIT! GET DOWN!" DK screamed and everyone got down, just in case she was gonna shoot a laser at any of them. She aimed it at Toad, and pulled the trigger.
A huge blue laser shot out of the blaster and blasted Toad, setting him on fire and killing him immediately.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Toadette cried and fell to her knees.
"Um...uhhh..." Birdo uttered in panic and decided to throw the laser blaster at Dixie's head, which knocked her out.
"WHAT THE FUCK?" Parakarry swore and was shocked that he saw Toad's lifeless body burning on the floor.
"SHIT!" Birdo screamed and ran out of the lobby and ran into the stairwell.
"GO AFTER HER!" Mario ordered and everyone ran in rage after Birdo, the backstabber of the group.
"Dixie, come on get up, please! Birdo just killed Toad and we need you now!" Diddy said, shaking Dixie's knocked out body.
"What am I gonna do now without Toad...-sniff- This just isn't fair...I don't know how I am gonna go on now..." Toadette whispered to herself, crying and letting out every tear that she could. Birdo was not only a backstabber, but a murderer and was working with the mastermind (sort of).
EOC.
Well, Toad is dead now unfortunately and Birdo had killed him. Do you think Birdo will escape from the group's rage towards her? Who do you suspect being a betrayer other than Birdo?
