Hello! Welcome to the finale! Sorry for the wait, I've been wondering whether to keep you waiting longer. Anyway, thanks to all reviewers, and get ready for this chapter!
. . .
Yoshi | Birdo
Zess T | Tayce T
. . .
BIRDO
Birdo was quivering with fear as she was sat in the oven, head in her hands.
"We haven't checked in here!" she could hear Zess T call. Birdo gulped, before preparing herself for what could be next. She heard the door slam open, then immediately slam shut. She heard the footsteps of Zess T as she strode towards the fridge.
"Not in here..." Zess T muttered to Tayce T.
"Should I try in the cupboards?" Tayce T asked.
Zess T paused, "Yes, although Birdo won't be there. She's too large."
Birdo clenched her fists and gritted her teeth, but made herself make no sound.
. . .
YOSHI
Yoshi was still sat on the roof, praying that nobody would see him. He continued to think about those who'd been killed within the last few hours. Suddenly, he heard a cackling from the house. He gulped, fearing Birdo may be dead, but made sure he didn't make a sound.
Caww! Caww!
He turned behind him and saw flashing red eyes. He gulped again, but shook it off.
"Yoshi, you're being stupid..." he muttered.
Caww! Caww!
He turned behind him again and saw many pairs of red eyes, glaring at him. He gulped for a third time, before standing up and wondering what he'd do next.
. . .
BIRDO
Birdo could now only hear whispering, after she heard Zess T cackling some weird spell, her and Tayce T were just whispering stuff. Zess T suddenly turned to the oven, and Birdo hid the best way she could. Zess T then turned around again and began whispering more stuff to Tayce T. Birdo noticed that Tayce T was smirking and nodding, looking like she was about to laugh. Birdo gulped as she saw Tayce T take a rolling pin from the counter.
. . .
YOSHI
Yoshi decided to take his chances against the red eyes, and slowly picked up a roof tile and threw it in their direction. There were some more caws before the sound of flapping of wings. Yoshi sighed with relief, before turning around.
Where he saw more red eyes.
. . .
BIRDO
Birdo looked frightened as she wondered what Tayce T was about to do with the rolling pin. Suddenly, Tayce T walked over to the oven, grabbed the handle and shoved the rolling pin across it. Birdo's eyes widened as she had figured it all out. Zess T smirked as she, too, walked over to the oven. She grabbed one of the dials and turned it to full.
. . .
YOSHI
Yoshi held his head in his hands, before thinking for a few seconds. He knew that if he tried to attack these things, he'd probably die.
"C'mon... think..." Yoshi hit his head, before his face lit up. He remembered how he could flutter jump.
He leapt up into the air and managed to avoid the red eyes from one side, but knew they'd chase him. He was now on the edge of the roof, and many, many red eyes were in front of him. It was jump off, or be killed.
. . .
BIRDO
The heat in the oven was already extreme. Birdo wasn't sure how long she'd be able to take it before she'd begin to burn. Tears fell from her eyes, but after a few seconds, evaporated. Zess T and Tayce T were laughing as they watched Birdo sit in the oven, clearly in pain. Birdo curled up into a ball and rocked herself slowly.
. . .
YOSHI
By now, Yoshi was falling through the air, before beginning to flutter jump. He was smirking at the red eyes as he floated gracefully towards the bottom. He landed with a light thud, before walking into the mansion and pondering his next move. He noticed that most doors were open, except for the one in the kitchen. He slowly crept towards the living room and searched for a weapon.
"TV remote... no good..." Yoshi muttered to himself, throwing the TV remote behind him. However, he noticed a big block with some cheese knives stuck onto it. Yoshi smirked as he walked over to it, grabbing one of the knives.
"You stop there..." Tayce T slammed the door, before smirking at Yoshi.
. . .
BIRDO
Now, Birdo was just trying not to be in too much pain - a plan she knew would fail. She decided to just let it happen, before she heard the door slam shut. She wasn't quite sure if it was either someone coming in or out - but she knew the latter was probable. It was slowly getting too much to handle for her, and she was beginning to feel her skin burn.
. . .
YOSHI
"I'm not afraid of you." Yoshi stated, picking up the block of knives.
"Likewise." Tayce T smiled.
Yoshi paused, "Have you found Birdo?"
"Yes, and I'm sure she's having a roast of a time." Tayce T smirked, before turning to the kitchen. Yoshi now knew that Birdo was in there in some kind of torture. This made him grit his teeth, tempting him to throw one of his knives.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Tayce T warned, holding up her finger in a stop motion, "I bet you think you're gonna survive all this, don't you? You think you're gonna be the only survivor and tell everybody who wasn't murdered here you were a hero. So you can gain a new status as a hero, and upstage those like Mario, Luigi, even Princess Peach. You've always been jealous of them and their popularity."
"That's ridiculous, I'm the most loved character in the Mario series." Yoshi rolled his eyes.
"You're the most loved character by fans," Tayce T corrected, "But in the Mushroom Kingdom, no one cares about you! And the ones who did were here, and you killed! And then there's Birdo. Sweet, innocent Birdo. Your true love. She's roasting in the very next room as we speak."
Yoshi gritted his teeth.
"You think this is bad? This is just the truth." Tayce T smirked.
Yoshi then lost it, before throwing his knife. It pierced Tayce T's neck, which made her growl in pain. However, she made it clear that she wasn't going any time soon. She grabbed a nearby lamp and stormed towards Yoshi. Yoshi made a quick run for the sofa, before tipping it over her, trapping Tayce T, and bolting out of the living room. With the knives still in hand.
. . .
Birdo was still sat in the oven, feeling her life slowly beginning to slip away. Suddenly, she heard the door fly open in a style only one person could do. Her face lit up as she knew Yoshi was here.
"Well, hello." Zess T greeted, in slight shock, "You've come here to die too?"
Yoshi then took out a knife and held it in a threatening position. He stormed up towards the oven and grabbed the rolling pin. Birdo almost cheered as she saw Yoshi stand in front of the oven. Yoshi pulled the rolling pin out and threw it at Zess T, causing her to fall over as she cried out in pain.
"That's not the end, you know..." Zess T grumbled, slowly getting back up. Yoshi opened the oven door and Birdo came stumbling out, rubbing her skin and glaring at Zess T.
"It's two vs one now..." Yoshi smirked, slowly walking towards Zess T. He looked towards Birdo, signalling to do the same. Birdo looked at his confused, before her face lit up and she copied Yoshi. Yoshi offered the block of cheese knives to Birdo and she took 3 knives from the many that were there.
"Oh, is it now?" Tayce T opened the door, machine gun in hand.
Birdo and Yoshi cringed as they looked at the machine gun. Yoshi then lifted the knife and Tayce T loaded the gun.
"Stop." Zess T muttered. Everybody turned to her, "I can't let you just kill each other like this. I WANT IN."
Zess T took a butchers knife from a counter and walked towards Birdo, "You, you pink, ugly rat."
Zess T then grabbed Birdo's leg and slashed it once. Birdo squealed in pain and Yoshi grabbed her, before pointing to the corner, "Stay back."
Kung fu music then played in the background as Yoshi held his hands together. Fruit began to fall from the sky and Yoshi sliced them all in half with ease. The music went silent and Yoshi threw one of the cheese knives at an unexpecting Tayce T. It went straight through her head and she let out a painful moan before dropping to the floor.
"You're gonna pay for that, with your precious Birdo..." Zess T muttered, before attempting to take the machine gun. However, Yoshi shoved a cheese knife through her hand and she moaned in pain. Yoshi then took the machine gun.
"Any last words?" he asked.
Zess T gritted her teeth, before a gunshot went through her head. Yoshi constantly kept firing gunshots through her head until Zess T's head was no more than a few brains and blood spewing from every possible place. Birdo breathed happily behind Yoshi as she knew what had happened, but Yoshi stood in shock. He had a terrible pain in his stomach. He looked down to see a butchers knife, the handle just poking through his stomach.
Yoshi moaned as he dropped to the floor.
. . .
Well, that's it for this fic! I hope you enjoyed it! The sequel will start off with whether Yoshi survives and, obviously, the next unlucky 13 being faced with the murders. That won't be until much later, though. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the first fic I've actually finished :)
