Well, that was a long chapter title... :P.
Peach's Dream:
This time, it Peach was uncontrollably dreaming about a house that made her shiver. She went inside this two story regular looking house and unknowingly went in to a living room. There was Karina (Ashley's toad cousin) sitting on a couch, reading Ashley's diary.
(If you don't know who Karina is, look in chapter 6 or 7.)
Karina was reading outloud Ashley's diary page. She turned and read another page.
"July 7 2007
Today was probably one of the worst days of my life, which isn't a surprise really. I hung out with Aleisha and her other girls right after school. I'm glad they didn't say mean comments about me...well, actually one of them did. Dana Wilson. She just called me out for no reason. She called me a witch, and that I will be ugly for the rest of my life and I will never get married and that I'm emo. I wanted to kill her now right then but of course I couldn't do it. I just ran home at the speed of light and cried for over a half hour. I seriously want to kill myself. I mean...I'm doing stuff I don't want to do, and I can control things with my mind. But everytime I use these "powers" I get the urge to cause violence. I can't explain this feeling, at times I like it and don't like it. But the worst of the worst came right after dad came home. He punched me and kicked me to the ground then he...he raped me. I can't even beleieve I'm writing this. Goodbye."
"Poor poor Ashley...she was so abused in her life and had to die in a terrible, painful accident. I hope you rest in peace Ashley..." Karina whispered.
"That must be it. Ashley's rage must've been the reason she started the outbreak. And 4 people joined to help her. I only know of Wario and Yoshi Jr, so I have to find the other two." Peach said.
Sudenly, a lime green colored toad girl came walking in the living room.
"Hey Karina. I packed up everything now and I'm ready to go to the Waffle Kingdom. Do you know who is taking me?" Chloe asked.
"Yeah. Your brother." Karina answered as she put Ashley's diary on a table.
"Him? Oh...okay then." Chloe replied in a low, but depressed voice.
"What? Is that a bad thing?"
"Oh no it's just that...I hate how my brother follows almost everything my dad does..."
"Well, didn't Ashley use to follow in your shoes too?"
"Yeah. I guess you can say that we have some sort of spiritual bond. Same with my bro and dad."
"Huh. Also, did you hear the news that the Mushroom Kingdom and Rogueport had some sort of outbreak? I hope it doesn't reach us..."
"Yeah. I hope everyone there is okay. My step sister, Alyssa, lives over there."
A loud beeping noise was heard. It was obviously Chloe's brother.
"That's him. Um, are your parents coming too?"
"Yeah. They should be here in a few minutes."
"Alright then. Bye, I guess. I'll see you next month."
"Bye!" Karina said and waved as she stepped outside. She saw Chloe enter her bro's car while Karina started to stare at a green SUV that was parked in the driveway.
"I so need that van..." Karina whispered as Chloe slammed the car door.
Karina went back inside. She looked up and saw something that scared the living daylights out of her.
It was ashley. All physical and looked like her normal self.
"Save her before she suffers the same fate as me with dad!" Ashley whispered. Karina gasped. She went back outside and saw Chloe's bro tarting to drive away.
"No...CHLOE!!!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Karina screamed. She ran down the street chasing the car but it was no use. The car was driving too fast for her. Karina panted and ran back in the house and slammed the door.
"I...what on earth just happened?" Karina asked herself. Ashley then appeared right before own very eyes.
"You bitch!! You killed me! You even let Chloe suffered the same fate as I did with my dad! You didn't even come to my funeral..." She said in a very deep voice.
"But...how are you alive!? This doesn't make any sense!" Karina cried.
"I have returned to the living because of the rage that I still had inside when I died. My job is to cause chaos and destruction around the earth until my time is up."
"No...you don't have to do this!" Karina yelled as she ran upstairs to Chloe's room and locked the door.
"Karina...come here..." Ashley said in a teasing voice. There was a huge bang on the door which made Karina jump.
"Please go away!! I'm so sorry if I didn't care about your death!" Karina pleaded. There was silence for a few minutes.
"Oh...I need to get out of this place." Karina whispered.
"I don't think so." Ashley whispered. She was in the room as if she came out of nowhere.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Karina screamed. Suddenly, Karina was thrown out of the bedroom window and fell many feet and landed on the green SUV with a loud crash. The crash made the van honk for minutes on end.
"Oh my god..." Peach whispered. "So...this is happening in the present as I speak...and they know about the outbreak. Now I fully understand it all. Ashley came back because of so much rage that filled her body and she came back to cause chaos until her time is up. That's why her body was normal when she killed Aleisha..." Peach said. Everything was making more and more sense.
END DREAM SEQUENCE
(Note: Karina's death will count as a death because she was mentioned. So basically, anyone with a name will be mentioned in the death count.)
Miracle's HeadQuarters:
"Shut up, or else I will hit you in the face with a sledgehammer!" Zoey yelled. She was in another testing room with Sylvia. There were six people tied up to chairs in the testing room.
"No please!! Please don't give me any of that!" Izzy yelled. She was a crystal colored toad who was tied in with the five other people.
"I said shut up!!!! We're only doing this to find a cure for the outbreak you stupid moron! Your body might be the solution to find the cure with this..." Zoey said as she held up an injector medicine...thing.
"HAHAHAHA!!! I'm sorry, but I just couldn't help but laugh at that." Frank laughed. He was a Koopa with a sky blue shell.
"Don't make me hit you with the sledgehammer!" Zoey yelled.
"Zoey please calm down! Besides... I don't think you should find a cure anyway. I'm pretty sure a group will find a cure or end all this..." Sylvia said.
"Yes!! Please listen to her!" Kristen cried. She was a aqua colored noki.
"Haha!! Well, since you are basically the same species as me, you'll be tested last." Zoey responded with a laugh.
"Hey! I'm part of your species too!" Kent yelled. He was a orange colored Noki that looked like any male noki.
"Well, you're a guy so that doesn't count." Zoey replied with another laugh. "Now, you, come with me!" She grabbed Izzy hard by the hand and dragged her to the regular testing room.
"Grrr...I knew I shouldn't have followed with these people. I should've stayed at Shiver City and everything would've been alright!" Ross, a penguin, whispered to himself as he moved his hands around, trying to get free of the ropes.
"Koops...I just wish that you are okay..." Koopie Koo said to herself. "I knew I should've stayed with you. It was my fault that I decided to back home with my parents back in Koopa Village..."
"What the hell is that girl saying over there!? Is she chanting a spell to get us out!?" Frank whsipered.
"What? Um, she's clearly talking to herself. It's a natural habit." Kristen whispered back.
"Well, duh! But of course, I'd be talking to myself if I had something to think about..." Kent said back.
"Jeeze...once I get free I'm blowing this joint." Ross said, eyeing Sylvia who was looking down.
"Hey you!! Green shelled...noki girl!" Ross yelled.
"Wh-what!?" Sylvia stuttered.
"Do you like this job or place that you're in?" He asked.
"Erm...I'm not sure. Why?"
"Well, either way. You think you can get us out of here? We won't tell anyone about this."
"I...can't just do that. Besides, if I do that, Miracle would know and I would brainwashed to do his evil work!"
The others couldn't help but overhear the convo.
"But technically, aren't you already doing his evil work?" Kent asked.
"Well...yeah...but..." Sylvia replied hesitantly.
"So get us out of here then. You can come with us if you want." Kristen said also.
"Oh...what about your friend, Izzy? And what about my friend, Zoey?"
"She's not really our friend...just someone we met while trying to hide away from the chaos." Frank said.
Sylvia didn't know what to do. She didn't want to get brainwashed by Miracle or turned in to a zombie, but she wondered if that if she really wants to continue working for Miracle.
"Oh...I suppose I can free you. But...let me get that toad girl and you'll go. And...I guess I'm coming with you." Sylvia finally said.
"Yes!! Thank you so much!!" Kent cheered.
Koopie Koo smiled a bit, but she still wondered about Koops' safety.
"PLEASE!!!!! PLEASE LET ME GO!!! I WON'T TELL ANYBODY ABOUT THIS!!!" Izzy screamed.
Izzy was tied down on some sort of dissection table...or something like that.
"Holy crap, can you shut the hell up already?" Zoey said in frustration.
"I just wanna live!! I just want to be free!" Izzy cried.
"Oh my god...I'm never gonna get this done..." Zoey whispered as she rubbed her temples.
Sylvia came in.
"Zoey! Um...Miracle needs to talk to you for a second." Sylvia said, but it was obviously a lie.
"Really!? Oh my gosh! Um, take care of this brat for me, will ya?" She asked then ran off.
"Please...please let me go...don't hurt me." Izzy cried again.
"I'm not here to hurt you. I'm here to free you and the others. We're getting out of here." Sylvia responded.
"Oh thank you thank you thank you!" Izzy cheered. All her tears quickly disappeared. Sylvia got her up.
"Wait here." She said. She went to a grill in the far corner of the room. (You know, a grill that cooks meat or stuff like that?)
She turned the temperature of the grill to 666, hoping it would cause a fire if it stayed on too long.
"Let's go!" She said as she ran with Izzy. She went back to the other room and untied everyone else.
"Yes!! Now we can get out of here!" Frank cheered. Koopie Koo got up but didn't cheer with everyone else. All she wanted to know was that if Koops was okay.
"Now, let's go. Time to blow this joint." Sylvia said with a smile. She ran out of the room with everyone else and in to a long hallway.
"Do you know where to go?" Kristen asked.
"I...I think so. I mean, I've only been around here twice." Sylvia replied. The door to the right of the hallway led to Miracle's main room. So she went the opposite. There were doors everywhere in the corridor.
"Miracle? You wanted to see me?" Zoey said as she entered his room.
"Huh? See you? I never asked such thing." Miracle replied.
"Well, Sylvia said you had to see me!"
"I never said such a thing to her either."
"Miracle!! Bad news!! Special forces around our area are coming to wipe out every zombie they see!" Lola quickly said.
"How is that bad news?"
"Well, by "wipeout" I mean that they will use bombs, nuclear wepons, missiles, anything you can think of!" Lola said again.
"WHAT!?" Miracle yelled. He couldn't believe it. "Please tell me this is a joke!"
"No it's not. They are coming in less than a half-hour!"
"Damnit!! They're gonna ruin my plans! Hmmm...Zoey! I can't believe I'm saying this to a minion but, watch over this place for me, will you?"
"Oh, y-yes! I will I will!" Zoey replied in excitement.
"Good now, stay here. There are monitors in every room and outside the place as well. And there are controls here just in case those bastards come in."
"Yes sir!" Zoey said.
"Now, Lola! Come with me! We shall destroy those soldiers and continue our plans."
"Right on it." Lola replied. The two briskly left the room.
"Yes!! This is so cool! I get to do anything I can now!" Zoey cheered. "Oh wait...but first..."
She left the room, went back in the testing room, and in to another room.
"i'm back...wait, where is everyone?" She asked herself as she stared at the empty chairs.
"Oh, this can't be good." She ran in to the grill or...dissection room and saw nobody as well.
"Sylvia? Where is she? Where is everybody!?" She yelled in more frustration.
Shiver Mountain:
The 8 villians were now at the entrance to Crystal Palace.
"What the heck is this mirror thing?" Pinker said as she saw her own reflection.
"It's clear crystal. Hence the name Crystal Palace." Nastasia answered.
The group went in to the palace only to find over a hundred Toads, Nokis, Koopas, Boos, Shy Guys, Penguins, Doogans, Goombas, Piantas, and whatever else kind of species live in the Mario universe.
"OH MY GOD IT'S THE ZOMBIES!!!" Shrieked a noki girl.
"No! It's people coming to rescue us!" Said a pianta.
"What? We're not here to rescue you! We didn't even plan on finding other people here anyway. How did all of you get here?" Jojora said.
"Well, you see, after the zombie outbreak, a lot of survivors from the Kingdom decided to hide in this palace because it's so high up in the mountains. Most of us have been here for over six hours." Explained a toad girl.
"Oh. Well, we're just here to go back to our...err...hideout. Y-yeah our hideout." Hammer Bro said.
"Ooh ooh ooh! Can you take us with you!" Begged a penguin.
"Yes, please! I even think a few of us are starting to get frostbite too!" A boo spoke up.
"Hmm, what should we do you guys? I mean, these people are gonna get in the way of everything." Blooper whispered.
"I have an idea. Let's just make them follow us for now and when we get to our HQ, we'll let them ride in our neon vehicles to a safe place, and when they get dropped off, they'll be right near a crowd of zombies!" Doopliss said with a snicker.
"Perfect! That's what we'll do!" Tiny said.
"Alright. We've decided to take you with us." Jojora spoke. Everyone in the room cheered.
"Yes! Thank you! You won't regret it!" Said a random goomba.
"Yeah yeah. Anyways, our hideout is away from this palace. So let's- wait what's that sound?" Blooper said. Everyone in the room heard lots of moan sounds and grunting noises outside.
"Oh no! It's the zombies!" Shrieked a doogan.
"Okay, everybody just stay quiet and- AHHHHH!!!!!" Pinker screamed as the entrance fiercely blew open, knocking her down.
And in came rushing the zombies.
"OH MY GOD!!! RUN!!!!" Screamed a girl koopa. The room was already filled with screams of fear.
The villians got up together and saw everybody screaming to get away from the zombies. You could barely hear a word what anyone was saying.
They saw a noki guy get knocked down and had his back chewed on. Ugh, they couldn't imagine the pain he's going through.
Luckily though, there was a door at the end of the room. Unluckily though, it was locked. Mostly everyone in the room crowded up over there to get out but it just wouldn't budge.
"Oh my god, I can totally get that door open!" Jojora said. She floated across the crowd.
"Hurry Jo- AHH!!!" Blooper yelled as he got knocked over by a zombie.
"GET OFF HIM!!!" Tiny yelled. Tiny pushed the zombie away, but on to a poor toad. The zombie was biting his neck like he enjoyed it.
"Oooops..." Tiny said to herself.
"Move aside! Move aside!" Jojora said. She got to the door and got out her wand. She waved her wand several times in the air, and pointed it at the door. It blew up.
"Yes! I did it! Now, OH!" Jojora yelled as she was getting almost ran over by the frightened crowd. Almost right next to her, a zombie got to a noki girl and bit the side of her neck and blood sprayed on Jojora.
"Ewwww!!!" Jojora shrieked. Nasty.
"Hurry! We need to get out now!" Hammer Bro said as the rest got to her. The group ran along with the hundreds of other survivors.
"How long is it till the end of this palace!?" Tiny yelled, trying to get her yell over the screams of the people.
"Like, another minute!" Pinker responded. The group had another close call when a penguin right next to them got pushed down and had the back of his neck getting ripped open.
The group tried to run even faster to stay up ahead of the zombies. They surely didn't want to get bitten, now did they?
"Gotta keep running, gotta keep running!" Said Doopliss quickly as a koopa girl right behind them was getting half of her arm torn off. Two zombies were trying to pull on her arm as hard as they could and they succeeded. Blooper couldn't help but look back.
"Oh my god, I think I'm gonna throw up!" Blooper yelled.
"Well, hold it in till we get out of here!" Tiny replied.
In only a few more seconds, everyone had reached the end of the palace. Unfortunately there was ANOTHER big door blocking the way out. People were screaming and banging on it, but it wouldn't work.
"Shoot! Jojora, use your wand again!" Pinker asked.
"Okay...but the people in front will likely get knocked over..." Jojora replied. She aimed her wand at the door, and it gave out a ball of light that zoomed across the room and at the door. The door exploded knocking everyone down, even the zombies.
"EVERYBODY OUT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!" Shy Guy yelled. His yell got way past the screams, but they all listened and got out. The villians briskly ran in front of half the crowd.
The zombies were still in the way back, so no more people died yet.
The humongous group got to a icy bridge that seemed to lead in to a hill.
"Over there!" Nasatasia yelled. She and the villians were in front of everyone else. They ran across the ice bridge, trying to be careful not to slip, and trying to be careful not to look down. Down below, was the mountain grounds, but it seemed incredibly low.
The villians made it across the ice bridge. They looked back for everyone else and they saw them panicking and starting to run across the bridge.
But suddenly, there was a loud crack and it came from the bridge. There was apparently too much weight from everybody running at once so the entire bridge collapsed. It made the villians jump in surprise.
The other people screamed to their deaths as they hundreds of feet below. They saw a goomba get impaled by a large ice pick that was poking out of the mountain. The peoples' screams echoed through the air. But soon, their screams got lower and lower as they were falling in the frosty air.
"Well...that's the end of that I guess..." Hammer Bro spoke.
"Meh, people in panic are usually hopeless anyway. Let's go." Doopliss said and the group ventured on.
Meanwhile:
The Mario Crew was still in the blimp, not far from Rogueport.
"Wow, who knew traveling in a blimp can be so boring." Ms Mowz said.
"Oh come on, we're being chased by zombies here!" Goombella said.
"Yeah, so don't say you're bored. If anything you should be incredibly tense." Toadette said.
"Did you guys know that zombies can't bite through leather?" Toad asked.
"Yeah. I think that was on the Zombie Survival Guide. In fact, I really wish we had the guide right now so we'd know what to do." Yoshi responded.
"Did you also know that it's easier to get bitten and spotted if you're in a large group of survivors? It's from the guide as well!" Toad also said.
Everyone paused. There was 27 of them in the blimp and that was incredibly large for a surviving group.
"Well, with a big group, it's easier to defend a location of some sort. So, it has its advantages and disadvantages." Iggy explained.
"Well, we're sticking together no matter what. We just need to find better shelter..." Mario said.
"And to get away from Ashley...HAHAHAH!!!! I mean really, who the heck believes that!?" Diddy laughed.
"Mario...you've got to admit, what Peach said about Ashley was kind of weird and rediculous. I mean really, a girl who came back to life from the dead to cause chaos and death?" Luigi said.
"Yeah...but Peach would never lie in this situation. I just gotta know what she's seeing in her dreams." Mario replied.
"Still can't believe Wendy and Bowser and Roy died..." Lemmy whispered.
"None of us can believe it. But, there's nothing we can do now unfortunately...unless there's a cure, but I doubt it." Morton responded.
"There could be a cure beneath all this mess. I'm willing to bet millions of people were preparing for Z-Day." Larry said.
"There's still hope. Someone might be working on a cure as we speak." Ludwig said.
"Yeah, but it could take months...possibly years to make." Morton replied.
"Unless of course...the zombies die from starvation." Iggy said.
"Hey...you're right! But of course, there's people being bitten by zombies as we speak. So, we'll be lucky if even a quarter of the zombies in the world die of starvation." Ludwig said.
"Oh!" Peach shrieked and jumped up.
"What is it? What is it!?" Said Mario in panic.
"Oh...nothing. I just...had a terrible dream. It was another one about Ashley. This time, she killed her own cousin. It was awful! And the weird thing is that...my dreams are happening exactly as we speak." Peach explained.
"Wow. Um...so I guess the only clues to figure this all out is in your dreams huh?" Mario asked.
"Correct." Peach answered.
"We're here you guys!" Parakarry yelled as everyone saw the blimp lowering on to the ground.
"We must hurry now and get on board the train." Kammy said.
"What? How are you so sure that the Excess Express train will work?" Bow asked.
"Um, hello! I can do magic!" Kammy answer while waving her wand.
"Of course. Now, I see that there is a massive group of zombies right outside the blimp door. So, the people who are armed get to go out first and try to make a path. The people who aren't armed, stay in here until we yell for you to come out." Mario explained.
Ms. Mowz, Parakarry, Mario, Luigi, Bow, Flurrie, Boo, Goombario, Dry Bones, Morton, Kammy, Iggy, and Ludwig got near the door, preparing for a gore-fest. (If you know what I mean) Most of the armed people had handguns, except for Morton, Ludwig, and Goombario, they had shotguns.
Yoshi, Birdo, Goombella, Koops, Kooper, Vivian, Peach, Toad, Toadette, Diddy, Sushi, and Dixie stayed near the back, hoping the zombies didn't get in too easily.
"Okay...one...two...three!!!" Mario yelled. He kicked the door open and in came running the zombies. Mario shot the first two down easily.
"Go go go!" Flurrie yelled as she and the armed people were beginning to go outside.
"Please be careful..." Larry whispered.
"TAKE THIS YOU ASSHOLES!!!" Ms Mowz yelled as she started shooting everywhere.
"This is so easy. I can't even die from these losers! haha!" Dry Bones laughed as he shot a toad girl right smack down in the forehead.
"Take this!" Parakarry yelled as he started shooting from the air.
"Noooo! Get off me!" Morton yelled as a toad zombie grabbed him by the shoulders. Suddenly, blood splattered on his face as the zombie got shot from Parakarry.
"AHHHH!!!!" Luigi screamed as he kicked a zombie right in the face.
Bow and Boo turned invisible and shot every zombie they saw. Simple as that.
"This is just too easy!" Flurrie cheered as she was shooting random zombies in the air with Parakarry.
"Made it!" Ludwig cheered as he was the first to make it to the train. He got in and panted and laughed. It was hard for him to go through the crowd, let alone not get bitten.
"You want some of this!?" Goombario yelled as he got nearer to the train. He shot the shotgun in to 3 zombie's head. Perfect shot.
"Oh yes! I made it!" Kammy cheered and went to the front of the train to start it.
"Woo...that was incredibly tough." Ms. Mowz said as she got on board along with Dry Bones.
Outside, the zombie crowd was clearing up a lot. Over half the zombies were gone.
"Hurry, hurry!" Goombario said to himself as he got on board with Iggy, and Luigi.
"Okay...we might be able to make it. GET OUT OF THE BLIMP!!!" Mario yelled. Everyone else heard this and ran outside.
"Oh my god, it's so bloody and disgusting out here!" Dixie complained.
"Yeah, well, you better get use to it." Birdo replied.
Bow and Boo made it in the train with ease with Mario. The zombies were paying full attention to the un-armed people.
"Oh! Those evil creeps better not lunge at me!" Kooper yelled with worry. The un-armed people got it in the train.
"Parakarry! We have to go now!" Flurrie warned. The two airborners briskly hovered their way to train. They got lower and lower and reached the train. Unfortunately, this was the perfect time for the zombies to attack. The zombies jumped and got ahold of Parakarry's feet and dropped him down.
"OH NO!!!!" Flurrie shrieked.
"HEEEEEEELLLLPPPP!!!!!" Parakarry screamed as a hoard of zombies were biting and chew on his chest area and neck. The pain hit Parakarry like a ton of spikes going in to his skin. Slowly. Very slowly.
Everybody else in the train couldn't help but look at the site of him getting eaten alive. They suddenly saw his intestines getting ripped out and chewed on.
"CLOSE IT!!!!" Flurrie screamed as she slammed the door shut. A wave of relief went over everybody.
"Oh...poor parakarry. He was so close to freaking making it!!! GAH!!!" Goombella yelled.
"Well, blame Ashley then....bwahahahahahha!!!!" Diddy laughed.
"Well...you guys gotta admit that Ashley story Peach told us was...well, rediculous, to be honest." Dry Bones said.
"I'm afraid I have to agree with Dry Bones and Diddy. I think you're just having lucid nightmares." Yoshi said.
"Fine, whatever, I don't care..." Was all Peach replied and rolled her eyes.
"Sigh, anyways, the train is moving now, so all we have to do is wait." Said Mario.
"Where will our next destination be?" Morton asked.
"Poshley Heights...but I have a feeling that place may already be invaded. But after Poshley Heights is Neon Heights so we should be safe there." Mario answered.
"I wish..." Iggy whispered.
EOC.
