The Kirio Brothers
Chapter 9
Penny! The Dark Warrior!
ACTUAL PLOT BUILDING? HOLY HELL!
Anonymous: ...Mkay. Why not?
Smashion Village Center
"Okay, so now that we've re-grouped..." Kirby said. "...we can actually find a way to get me home. Y'know, to POPSTAR?"
"Well, there's is ONE thing..." Mario said.
"Yeah?" Mystic asked.
"In Ceoan City, there's a person named Bloodline living there..." Mario explained.
"I know him! He's my cousin." Mystic interjected.
"Whatever. Rumor says that he knows about a Warp Crystal. But how are we going to get there? Ceoan City is across the country." Mario explained, taking out a map of the country.
"We could ride my WarpStar. It's almost out of energy, but it can take us nearer." Mystic suggested.
"...WarpStar? Is it.. safe? I mean, you crashed last time you rode it." Luigi replied.
"Of course I know how to drive it! I crashed it for comic relief." Mystic said.
"Comic relief? This isn't some sort of fan-fiction, Mystic, it's REALITY." Mario snapped. "Let's just go."
And so, off they went, speeding off towards Ceoan City!
Moonlit Fields
The WarpStar, along with all it's passenger's came to an abrupt stop at night time, in a clearing with bushes and trees all around them.
"Great. Of all the places the WarpStar could've stopped..." Mystic said despairingly.
"What? What's so wrong about this place? It's so... beautiful." Mario replied, taking in all the sights.
"Because hidden in this area are vicious MONSTERS." Mystic cried, and slumped down. "I hate monsters."
"I don't think we'll get attacked, Mystic." Luigi said reassuringly.
Suddenly the bushes shook and a wolf jumped out! Mario drew his hammer and smashed it away, but it split into two wolves!
"This is why I hate monsters!" Mystic cried again and cowered in fear. Kirby kicked the new wolf, which split into another wolf.
"Shouldn't they grow smaller?" Kirby asked, dodging a bite from the newly split wolf.
"No! Stop attacking it!" Mystic commanded, but they were cornered and had no other choice but to attack it. Mario shot a Fireball towards one, which didn't split, but caught on fire and attacked with great intensity. The wolf's claws scratched Mario's arm.
"Ugh... I feel groggy..." Mario commented and fell on one knee.
"MARIO!" Luigi cried.
"The claws are made of poison..." Mystic commented, and started charging a Poison Purge spell, while jumping into a bush. "Cover me, please."
Kirby sucked in a wolf and spat it out into a tree and split into two. The tree fell on the two wolves, pinning them down. Luigi smashed a wolf into the ground, and kicked the newly split one into the bushes. Mystic finished the spell and cured Mario of his ailment. There were about five wolves surrounding them, two of them pinned by a tree.
"HY-AAAH!" An ear-piercing scream filled the air as a girl with luna hair and a helmet that covered her face suddenly jumped down from the trees and pushed the party into the bushes.
"I'll handle em!" the girl said, and then drew two black swords. A wolf lunged at her and she swung her right blade in an arc at the wolf.
"It's gonna split." Kirby said, but he was wrong, as the wolf was sliced cleanly in half and dissapeared. The girl spun around quickly and stabbed the two pinned wolves in the head. She blocked an attack from a wolf, and slashed it's legs off. The last wolf ran away.
"Wow. That was... amazing!" Mystic applauded. "But... you look REALLY familiar."
"Don't you even recognize your old friend? It's me, Penny." Penny said, taking off the helmet. Penny had Luna hair and eyes, and was dressed in a leather vest and a T-Shirt under it.
"That doesn't ring a bell." Mystic replied.
"I adventured with Clario back when he was a Gunner. Me, him, Felix and others gathered the Chronical Crystals." Penny explained.
"Ohh, Clario! My older brother!" Mystic realized.
"Wait, but Mystic is a Kirby... and Clario is a human, right? How are they related?" Luigi asked.
"NONE. OF. YOUR. BUISNESS." Mystic replied. "Anyway, Bloodline traveled with you, right?"
"Yes, why?"
"Well, we were hoping to ask him about the Warp Crystal..."
"Okay... In that case, I will come with you." Penny decided. The group walked out of the fields and onto a hill. It looked safe, and there was no monsters in sight.
"Thanks Penny. You're a real help. Let's camp here for a while though." Mystic replied.
"That's strange. It looks like Mystic already knows everyone and all the places... but... if Mystic has only been in Popstar... How did she know about Penny in Smashion?" Mario asked.
"I... don't know." Luigi replied. "Maybe there's more to her then we thought."
The Mario Bros looked at Mystic.
And they realized... She had an M scar at the left of her right eye. The same one...
as Penny had on her hand.
"That's... very weird." Kirby commented, noticing the same thing as Mystic and Penny talked to each other.
"Do you think... They might be beings of a higher entity?" Mario suggested.
"Nah... Mystic is just a normal Kirby." Luigi dismissed the idea.
"Plus, Penny is just human. And WHERE did you get that idea?" Kirby commented on the female swordsman.
"I don't know. Must be poison after-effects. I wonder what they're talking about." Mario wondered, and snuck up on the two females.
"...That was random." Kirby said to Luigi.
"...so I bought these new shoes, right? And they were powerful, but they were like, lime green." Penny told Mystic. Mario hid behind a tree as he listened.
"Ouch. Lime green does NOT suit your style." Mystic replied.
"I know, right? So then I sold it..." Penny said, but Mario had stopped listening and walked back to Luigi and Kirby.
"...Is he gone?" Mystic asked.
"Yeah. Back to our plans..." Penny replied.
"Yes. I suggest that once we get the Warp Crystal, we warp to the Temple of Hope and destroy the Death Gem once and for all."
"That SHOULD stop the wolves and monsters in Smashion, right?"
"That... along with major effects on the other countries." Mystic sighed sadly.
"It is for the good of Smashion." Penny said. And her voice had no sound of regret in it.
FORESHADOWING. WAHAHA.
By the way, if you want to know more about Penny, here's her mini-biography.
Penny is a 16 year old female Swordsman who specialized in destroying splitting monsters. She first appeared as a villager in Smashion Village in Crystal Hunt (A game I'm never going to finish making) and joined your party as you were leaving. Later on, they met up with Mystic and they travelled on.
After the final battle, she split ways with Clario and Mystic and trained in the way of the Dark Blades, helping her even more with Splitting Monsters. She has Luna hair, white armor, and blue boots.
This is Mystic, reminding you to review!
