CHAPTER 7
The heroes arrived into the room and without a word O'Chunks jumped to the ground, I floated to be beside him.
"Now that be far 'nough there lads and lass" O'Chunks stated as he pointed at the heroes, Bowser stepped to the front of the group as I knew he would.
"Leave this meathead to me" Bowser said as he cracked his knuckles in preparation, Mario, Luigi and Peach nodded and left, Bowser looked at me and I put my hands up.
"I won't interfere, besides O'Chunks will handle you well enough on his own I think" I lied, I knew that if these events followed the game Bowser would win the fight so why fight it when thats our best chance at defeating Dimentio.
"Sounds good ta me Ermora, leave this bloomin' turtle to me" O'Chunks said, I floated back up into the roof so as to watch the little fight, O"Chunks powered up and Bowser grinned, he probably loved to fight.
"Your brave if you honestly think that just by 'powering' up you can beat me" Bowser taunted, this hit a nerve and O'Chunks swung at Bowser and caught him off guard. Bowser swung back and O'Chunks caught the fist and tossed Bowser over his shoulders and hit him in the chest with a quick punch. He jumped away as Bowser almost hit him with a fireball, Bowser then jumped up and retaliated, he swung and hit O'Chunks in the face which knocked O'Chunks to the floor. I stood up as the hair on my neck stood up, O'Chunks wouldn't die right? Suddenly my head started to spin and it was disrienting at first, I sat back down in the rafters.
"Umm Ermora it's Nastasia, yeah I'm using telepathy here to communicate to you, I have a feeling Dimentio is planning somethin, please warp O'Chunks and Mimi close to Dimension D when the chance arises k?" I heard Nastasia say in my head, when the voice disappeared my head stopped spinning, I looked back to the fight and saw that it looked like O'Chunks had already been worn out.
"Alright you got me good ya spiny turtle, I'ma man of me word, you can go on through" O'Chunks said in a surrendering tone. Mario, Luigi and Peach re-entered the room as Bowser did a heart laugh.
"Bwahahahahaha! Thats right no one beats me!" Bowser announced happily, I felt a chill run through my spine as I heard a noise no one else could hear, I looked up and saw Dimentio's figure move among the shadows but before I could say a word he hit something and the roof began to collapse, I warped away from my spot and warped to the floor.
"What in the- lass what is wrong?" O'Chunks said as I ported right by him, the others all looked at me.
"The roof it's coming down!" I shouted, everyone looked up and the roof came down at a very quick rate, we won't make it out! I ducked at shut my eyes as the roof came down upon us but when I felt no pain I risked opening my eyes. Sure enough O'Chunks was holding the damn roof up, the heroes looked at him in shock.
"I'm a man of me word, git goin to the Count" O Chunks said, Bowser gave him a hard stare then placed himself to help O'Chunks keep the roof up for a time.
"You heard him! Get going to the Count!" Bowser growled, the mario brothers and Peach looked at the two of them.
"What are ye doin?!" O'Chunks demanded, I looked between the two as their arms were shaking, there's no way this will hold for lng before it squished them!
"Helping you genius, now you plumb-dumb idiots get the princess out of here" Bowser growled, the brothers nodded and escorted Peach out who looked at me only once.
"What about you?" she asked me, I shook my head as Nastasia's words rang in my head, I knew what I needed to do.
"You go on ahead princess" I said back, I began to charge up some of my magical power, I needed to make sure I could port all of us to safety or else Dimentio will win and not the heroes.
"Ermora, you need ta get out of 'ere, the Count wouldn't want ye to die" O'Chunks said, I ignored him and continued charging my energy, come on just a little more.
"Then you go take her, I can hold this up all day" Bowser said, O'Chunks grunted and the roof fell slightly closer to the ground as both of them were losing strength.
"No, you take her, you be shakin' like a wee little lass" O'Chunks spat back, Bowser growled, their pride would kill them both.
"Your so stubborn" Bowser stated back, I heard them gasp suddenly as a loud crack was heard, I casted a spell and we ended up somewhere else, Bowser was out cold on the ground along with O'Chunks, I felt my energy drain so much from that. I shake my head and snap back into concentration though, I tried to pinpoint Dimension D and had a feeling of where it was, I ported O'Chunks as close as I could and then ported myself to Mimi's room.
"Mimi, are you prepared for the heroes?" I asked, I knew that it wasn't my place to ask but I wanted to at least give her a heads up that they were headed this way.
"I take it O'Chunks failed, oh well I guess it's my turn next" Mimi stated, I waited with her as well until the heroes arrived, I knew this was going to be a Peach and Mimi match.
"Looks like the princess has arrived with her body guards" Mimi said in a mocking tone, Peach gave Mimi quite a look.
"You've been a very bad girl Mimi, I'll handle you, Mario, Luigi wait outside as I teahc this one a lesson" Peach said rather sourly, the brothers left.
"Ermora, you leave too, I can handle this princess" Mimi said, I only nodded my head and headed to go outside the same doors the brothers did.
"Peach I know you have this, I'll keep an eye on this one" Tippi the pixel finally said as she came up to me, I knew she didn't trust me not to attack the brothers while Peach and Mimi fought. I looked back to see Mimi turn into what I like to call her spider form, I left with Tippi right behind me, I walked out and the brothers jumped up to fight me.
"Calm down, save your energy for the true enemy" I said coldly, the brothers looked at me rather unsure at first but the Luigi lowered his fists.
"She's right bro, besides she's not attacking us and if she planned to do so it would've been earlier" Luigi said to Mario, Mario gave me a dirty look but sat back down, Tippi however came up to my face.
"You sound like Dimentio saying something like that, I've overheard him say stuff like 'the heroes aren't strong enough to face the Count yet' you must be in the same league as him" Tippi accused, my anger flared.
"Don't you DARE compare me to that jackass, he tried to kill me for knowing too much!" I snapped back at her, Tippi's coloration changed to a slight blue, what did that mean?
"O-oh, I'm sorry I didn't know you hated him so much" Tippi said rather sadly, I took a deep breath, I can't tell any of them how this'll work out either.
"No, I'm sorry I snapped, I just never trusted him but I do recommend you keep your wits about you" I said, we sat in silence for awhile after that until the door clicked, we all walked in and Peach had beaten Mimi.
"Your tougher then you look" Mimi said in defeat, the brothers made their way to the other door and waited for Peach, I felt the hair on the back of my neck stand on end. I heard the snap of fingers and the floor gave way, I warped the brothers to the other side of the door they were at without thinking. Peach jumped down into the hole a little bit and caughter Mimi's wrist.
"What are you doing?" Mimi said in shock, Peach struggled to hold onto the edge.
"I-I don't know my body just reacted, besides you may have been a bad girl but I won't let you die here" Peach stated in determination, I began to charge my power again quickly, I HAVE to do this perfectly.
"Peach..." Mimi said with a rather calm tone, Peach's grip suddenly slipped from the edge and I casted a spell to slow Peach's fall and took Mimi's hand.
"You'll float down safely princess I promise!" I shouted as I warped Mimi and I to O'Chunks' position, he was still out cold, I felt my energy drain even more.
"Ermora, what's going on?" Mimi asked me, I shook my head, Nastasia had only been able to reach me telepathically I guess.
"Stay here until Nastasia gives you an order to do different" I replied, I warped back to Castle Bleck to be beside the Count, I refuse to watch Dimentio's fight besides he CAN'T kill Luigi if he wants to betray the Count.
"Are you ready to fight the heroes beside Count Bleck?" Bleck asked, I looked at Nastasia who was on his other side, I took a deep breath.
"Yes Count, I will not fail like the others have" I said witha shakey tone, Nastasia gave me a nod of approval and looked to the door, I looked over as well, please let this work out.
