Hey everybody! I'm back to bring you Chapter 12. Sorry I haven't been updating in a while. I actually finished ½ of my AP assignment. I had to write 3 vocab lists, one for each story, and write a 250 word essay in Spanish. I still gotta do the essay, but I'm sure that I can do it if I put all my effort and strength into it. So, the next time I will update is when I finished my essay (which is tomorrow). Anyways, without further ado, I present to you, my beloved readers, Chapter 12. Read and review, and as always, enjoy!
"Wait a dang minute people!" The group stops walking, and look at Felicity, who just screamed to get their attention.
"What's wrong Felic? Why did you scream like that kiddo?" Mario says taking the leader role.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? I have to beat some ugly hag on the damn roof and you're asking me what's wrong?"
"Oh dear. Now I understand. Felicity, I know you have a big case of acrophobia, but you can't let that stop you sweetheart." Peach says assuring her trembling daughter.
"What the heck is acropolia?"
"Bowser, Peach said acrophobia. It means Felic has a fear of heights." Daisy says to him, and then looks back at Felicity in concern.
"What? She's afraid of heights. Ha! That's pathetic! I didn't see you being scared when you flew up to that roof."
"You flew up to the roof?" Luigi asks in disbelief.
"Yeah. I was hyperventilating the whole time, especially when I almost fell to my death and screaming my lungs off! Yeah that was sooo much fun! There's no way I'm going back on that roof! I'll just fall off and lose automatically, and then Mom and Daisy will be theirs." Felicity screams angrily, as she starts to complain and explain. Felicity crosses her arms, and plants her feet on the ground. Mario sighs then walks toward Felicity, puts his hands on her shoulders, and looks at her straight in her eyes with pleading eyes.
"Felicity, do you remember what I told you when you had to sing in front of everyone, including Weegee and Daisy, at the restaurant?"
"Yeah. You told me that I could do it because you guys all believed in me, including Luigi and Daisy."
"Exactly. And you can beat Sabasa on the roof too because we all believe you can do it, maybe even Bowser. Do you know how we know you can?"
"You can see the future better than I can?" Mario starts to giggles at the question, but shakes his head.
"No, because you're a strong, young woman who is capable of doing much more than she thinks she can." Mario says as Felicity starts to tear up, and smiles to Mario. She hugs him very tightly, and he hugs her back.
"Thanks Mar. I really needed that." Felicity whispers to him as they let go.
"No problem kiddo. Besides, you can put a barrier around the roof, so no one would fall right?"
"Yeah. I guess I could do that before we start."
"Exactly kiddo. So, are you ready?"
"Yeah! Let's do this! LEEROOOOOOOOOOYYYYYY NNNNNNNJENKINNNNNNNSSS!"( I never played W.O.W, nor do I plan to. I saw this video for the first time a few days ago, and I laughed my ass off.) Felicity screams as she runs up the stairs to the roof, almost forgetting about her acrophobia, and everyone else. The rest of the group each give a confused, "with just happened" look. They remain quiet for a few seconds.
"Did she just ran out there?" Luigi asks in confusion and disbelief.
"Yeah. Way to go boosting her confidence Mario." Daisy says sarcastically to Mario.
"Shouldn't we go out there to make sure that they don't gang up on her?" Bowser asks curiously
"Um yeah! We should definitely go out there. Let's-a go!" Mario says after the rest of them run after the 12 year old girl. They finally make it to the roof's door (Or what's left of it due to Felicity's ice spell, and her flipping out on the door). They go through the hole she created to see the four villains on the opposite side of the roof, and Felicity stretching her muscles by doing splits on the floor, and such. All of them are waiting patiently for them to arrive.
"Finally! I was about to think the rest of you abandon the young girl, leaving her to fend for herself." Tatanga says while smirking.
"Listen here Tatanga, we would never abandon Felicity, like you did back in Sarasaland." Mario says as he boldly takes a step forward.
"Mario, I did not abandon my minions. As you already knew, I sent King Totomesu to Mushroom Kingdom to bring me the young princess, and Hiyohoi to grab her as well. The other two minions were of no use for me, so I relieved them of their duties. But enough of going down memory lane let's get started with this shall we? How would like to start this?"
"We have one battle at a time. There's only room for one battle on this roof. And, Felicity will put a barrier around this roof, so no will fall off." Mario says calmly.
"Awww. Is the widdle acrophobic girl afraid of falling off the roof?" Waluigi says taungtingly as he laughs at her. Felicity takes a few steps toward him, stops, and crosses her arm at him.
"So, you're telling me that you're not scared of falling down two stories, smashing your brain into mush, breaking almost every bone in your body, all of your blood over the pavement, and dying almost instantly?" Felicity asks cool and collectively. Waluigi, Luigi, and almost everyone on the roof, express a look of disgust. Felicity smirks at Waluigi's expression.
"I thought so. So, it's agreed that I put a barrier over the roof then?" Tatanga nods, too stunned to even talk. The young girl gives a cute smile towards Tatanga and walks to the middle of the roof. She takes in a deep breath, and rubs her hands together.
"Here goes. Barria salphin!" The young girl screams as she puts both hands on the roof. A lavender light emits from her hands and starts to cover the whole roof, even under everyone's feet. The young girl concentrates very hard on surrounding the whole area. The roof is finally covered by a barrier. The young girl lifts her hands off the roof, and gets up to walk toward the group. She feels lightheaded, and sways slightly before Luigi catches her to help maintain her balance.
"Let me help you girlie. Why don't you take it easy for a while?" Luigi says as she nods and gives a weak smile, and mouths the words "Thank you" to him. He sets the young girl down against the wall. Peach and Daisy go toward her in concern.
"Is she still gonna be able to fight me? It would be a shame if she was beaten before we started. I want to beat her myself you know?" Sabasa says (still looking like Felicity), and she puts her hands on her hips.
"Don't worry your ugly gray hairs you old hag! I'll be able to fight you in no time!"
"Who are you calling an ugly hag you little brat! I oughta defeat you right now!"
"No Sabasa. We said that this would be a fair fight, and it shall be a fair fight. So, who's going first?"
"I'll go first. I'll show all you losers how a real champion fights!" Bowser as he steps into the middle of the roof, not giving the other three a chance to express their opinion, or even agree or disagree with his choice. The three of them sigh, and just let Bowser have his way. Tatanga nods ands looks at Hiyohoi, who nods back at Tatanga and walks to the middle of the roof. Both powerhouses are facing each other. A tumbleweed rolls between the two of them (Where that came from I have no idea). Bowser smirks at his "challenge", while Hiyohoi stands there expressionless.
"Hey girl." Bowser says to Felicity, which startles her in shock.
"Yeah?"
"Do you think 5 minutes is enough for you to gain your strength back so you'll able to defeat this old hag?"
"STOP CALLING ME AN OLD HAG!"
"5 minutes is fine. Thank you Bowser."
"Don't thank me girl. You're not gonna be the reason why my beloved Peachie has to marry that alien freak. Got that?"
"Crystal. Mom, how have put up with this guy since you were born?"
"I just tend to ignore him after all these years sweetheart. And the fact that Mario will save me like always, makes being kidnapped feel a little better."
"I bet." Felicity says as the two girls giggle. Mario walks by and kneels down toward them.
"How do you feel kiddo?"
"Better. I feel my strength returning already. I'm sorry if I worried you. That was one a few times that I used a large amount of a spell, so I'm not really used to it as much as I should be."
"Don't worry about it kiddo. We're just glad you're okay."
"Hey. I didn't scream 'Leeroy Jenkins' and run out here just to sit down on the ground. I'm gonna beat that witch, just like I said I would."
"You probably will sweetheart, but just focus on gaining your strength back alright?"
"Yeah mom. So, what are you and Daisy gonna do while this whole thing is going down?"
"We'll be cheering you guys on, even Bowser, during each battle to give you all a better chance of winning."
"I'm sure I'll be able to win knowing that you'll cheer for me when I fight Tatanga Peach."
"Aww Mario. You are so sweet." Peach says as they get closer, and start to show their PDAs (Public Displays of Affection) one again. Felicity smiles, but shakes her head. Here we go again. They never learn do they? Still, they have been seperating for a while, so I'll let this slide. Just this once. Meanwhile, Luigi and Daisy (who walked away seeing Mario coming toward them) is enjoying the beautiful night sky together.
"Daisy?"
"Yeah?"
"I never told you what I wanted to say to you before."
"Oh? And what was that?"
"I wanted to tell you that...I love you." Luigi says as Daisy jumps, and her eyes widen in shock. She starts to smile, and wraps her hands over his waist, and he hugs her back.
"Thank you, Luigi."
"For what?"
"For telling me how you really felt about me. I thought you were just like every other guy I dated, being only after my money and my crown. But now I know you're not like them, and that's what I love you about you. I love you too."
"Daisy, I would never use you like that. You're the first girl I actually said 'I love you' to. You mean the world to me, and I don't want you to end up marrying Waluigi. I don't want to be with anyone, but you."
"Luigi, you saying that makes me feel so much better. I don't want to marry that skinny ass loser. I wanna be with you. You, and only you." Daisy says as Luigi leans in to kiss her, which she happily returns. Walugi, seeing this romantic moment between the two, end with a kiss, is furious and is more determined to beat him.
"Can we please get this stupid fight started while I'm young?" Bowser screams at the awaiting fighters, and spectators alike.
"Oh yes of course. You may begin... now!" Tatanga says as Hiyoihoi and Bowser runs toward each other, each powerhouse fueling their own desire to defeat the other, and win the battle.
*Okay! So here's how the rest of this whole challenge is going to go down. Each battle will be exactly one chapter, so the next chapter (Chapter 13) will be about Bowser's battle vs Hiyoihoi. The chapter after that (14) will be about Felicity's battle with Sabasa, and you get the rest. So, I'm letting you guys know beforehand so no one will ask in ther reviews. Thanks for reading this chapter, and waiting so patiently for me to post this chapter. I hope it was good enough for you guys. So, until I post up Chapter 14, this is Hopefaith2 saying see ya!*
