Hallo again! Welcome to the penultimate chapter of Unlucky 13. I've decided that instead of doing the sequel right away, I'm going to do a different story - one that I've also done a lot of. You can probably guess it, but if you can't, you'll find out soon enough. Anyway, thanks to Owen96, Soliddude1175, Rockin Bros, MarioZeldaFan and Kaiimi for reviewing, and I actually don't hate Peach! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pre-grand finale.

Mario | Luigi | Yoshi | Toad | Bowser | Wario | Waluigi | Peach | Daisy | Birdo | Toadette | Wendy | Kamek | Vivian

Zess T | Tayce T

"We will give you 10 minutes to hide separately across the mansion. If we catch you together, you'll be tortured. If we catch you after 30 minutes of searching, we will kill you. Comprende?" Tayce T grinned evilly.

Birdo and Yoshi nodded slowly and sadly.

"Off you trot." Zess T rolled her eyes, and Birdo and Yoshi darted off in different directions.

. . .

YOSHI

"Need to find a phone..." Yoshi muttered to himself repeatedly as he ran into different rooms.

"WHY ARE THERE NO PHONES?" he shrieked, before covering his mouth, realising they'd hear him. Luckily, they heard nothing. He sighed with relief before turning to a counter. There was a stack of paper with something below it. His eyes widened as he ran towards it, throwing the paper aside, to find a phone.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." he said quickly, looking to the sky. He was about to grab the phone, but noticed smoke coming from the numbers...

. . .

BIRDO

"Oh crap, where am I gonna hide?" Birdo said, tears appearing in her eyes. She was frantically running from room to room.

"How many minutes do I have left?" Birdo checked her watch, before her jaw dropped, "2."

"Go to the kitchen! They'll never look there!" Birdo cheered, before running down the stairs.

She was now in the kitchen, searching for a safer hiding place. She noticed an oven big enough for her to fit in.

"Eh, why not?" she shrugged, hopping into it. She sat there, legs and fingers crossed, before bursting into tears. Memories of all of her friends had come back to her. The good times she'd had with each of those who have died. Mario - the time he wet himself while the pair were having a coffee at McToad's. She let out a sad laugh, before letting out some more tears.

. . .

YOSHI

Yoshi was panicking about what the phone was about to do. He had no idea how long he had before Zess T and Tayce T would go after him. He needed to call someone or find an amazing hiding place. Suddenly, it all clicked. He turned to the window, before frantically opening it.

"Ready or not, here we come!" he could hear Zess T honk, before they both cackled evilly.

He jumped out of the window and landed on the ledge.

"Now I just need to get onto the roof. They'll never look there!" Yoshi smiled, before stepping onto the window sil. As he looked up, he saw a symbol. An L. It reminded him of Luigi, and the time he spent with Luigi at the park that one time - badmouthing Mario. He smiled, sadly, the reality of what was happening around him finally hitting. A single tear fell from his eyes, before he shook his head and continued climbing up the wall.

. . .

BIRDO

Birdo had heard the call from Zess T and Tayce T, despite the insulated environment she was currently in. The sound of either of their voices made Birdo sick, and they forced more tears from her.

"Stop it, Birdo. This isn't you." Birdo muttered to herself. Suddenly, she heard footsteps. More tears fell from her eyes, but she desperately tried not to show she was in the oven. She heard a door open, and trying to look to see if it was Tayce T or Zess T, she slowly opened the oven. Nobody was there. She sighed with relief, before carefully shutting the oven door. Even more tears fell from her eyes as she remembered yet more funny stories about her now-dead friends. The time she moved in with Toad temporarily after Yoshi went on a "personal space" thing. She sadly laughed again, before leaning up against the back of the oven.

. . .

YOSHI

Yoshi was now sat on the roof, wishing he could've been with someone. His mind drifted to those who he'd killed. Those who's lives had been lost because of him. Daisy, he didn't even know what he did that for. He held his head in his hands and more tears fell from his eyes. He remembered the time he spent with Daisy when Luigi and Mario were out Mario Kart racing, and they'd just talk. She was so close to surviving, and he practically killed her. Then he thought of Toadette, even though that was an accident, he couldn't help but feel extremely guilty. He remembered the time he spent with her, robbing banks and shoplifting. Finally, he thought of Wendy, who he'd murdered in the most brutal way possible. He threw a knife at her face. Once again, he buried his head in his hands and screamed - wanting to get the thoughts out of his head.

. . .

Well, there's the penultimate chapter. No death, I just wanted to get some of the emotional stuff out of the way. There'll still be some more, but there will be some gore in the next one too - goody goody! Hope you enjoyed!
