Chapter 7: Sleuthing
Donkey Kong, Wario, and Waluigi were looking around in another part of the ship. Waluigi was having a difficult time moving through the corridors, as his long limbed body was causing him to crouch over and, occasionally, when he tried to stand up, he would hit his head. He hit his head again,
"Ow-a! What the hell?"
Wario grumbled,
"How do you-a think I-a feel?"
Wario was also having a difficult time getting around, as his massive body was rubbing up against the ship's walls as well. Donkey Kong looked around and pointed to a direction. He began walking, the two evil clones of Mario and Luigi following him.
They ended up on the deck as Marth and Roy were just waking up. Ness looked over and said,
"Oh, hey, DK."
Wario shook his head,
"Did you-a find anything?"
The psychic boy shook his head,
"No, Marth and Roy collided with each other and we couldn't go anywhere."
Waluigi began laughing,
"AHHAHAA! Stupid idiots! You two can't possibly the killer!"
Marth shouted,
"How would you know that? I see bumps and bruises on your head! You're just as incompetent!"
There was a shouting match, between the two groups, each accusing the other of being the killer.
In the observation deck above them, Samus was watching the whole thing, muttering to herself,
"Idiots."
Daisy was lying down on one of the benches, while Luigi and Sonic were in the kitchen, attempting to cook some food. No doubt, the others would be returning soon and they would be hungry. Of course, when trying to prepare some food, the two got into a huge argument. Sonic shouted,
"More sugar!"
Luigi shouted back,
"More Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
"Sugar!"
"Salt!"
At this, the taller Italian plumber and the blue hedgehog grabbed a frying pan and tried to beat each other over the head. This caused a ruckus that could be heard in the dining room. The Metroid hunter growled,
"I swear, these idiots aren't treating this with the seriousness it deserves."
She stormed inside and yelled,
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU MORONS DOING? THERE'S A KILLER ON BOARD THE SHIP! WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS IS?"
The two of them stopped fighting and looked at each other. Luigi said,
"It looks good enough."
Sonic nodded,
"Yeah, right. Good enough for me."
With that, the two began preparing the rest of the food. Samus smirked underneath her helmet,
"Better."
In another part of the ship…
Fox, Falco, and Captain Falcon were in the engine room, trying to find the killer. The F-zero pilot shook his head,
"Why are we down here? It's hot and loud!"
Falco glared,
"Hey, pal! It could be worse! Quit complaining and try and find the killer. With you making so much noise, you'll probably give us away."
Fox got between them,
"That's enough, you two. Just fan out and try and find any clues. Just be careful, all right."
The blue-feathered pilot and the F-zero racer glared at each other before heading off in separate directions in the engine room. Fox decided to above on the walkway to get a better view and to make sure the two of them kept away from each other.
Both Fox and Falco had their laser blasters drawn. Captain Falcon, envying them, tried to look for a weapon. He then spotted a hatch. He surmised,
"Maybe there is a weapon in here I could use."
He walked over to the hatchway and began turning the wheel. Frustrated, he turned it in one direction, then in the other. He managed to turn the wheel and the hatchway opened…
Fox and Falco had met up on the other side of the engine room. The vulpine pilot asked,
"Hey, you see Captain Falcon anywhere?"
Suddenly, a shot gun blast rang out and the two of them ran to find out where the source came from.
They noticed Captain Falcon laying there, nearly decapitated with a shot gun. Falco began laughing,
"Well, at least the killer finally did something right."
Fox then noticed something,
"Wait, I see something."
He wretched in disgust as he reached in to see find something. He pulled out a paper cylinder and unfurled it.
It was the blue prints to the ship…
