Characters- Mario Daisy Goombella Flurrie Shy Guy Wendy Larry Ludwig Iggy Morton Lemmy Bowser Jr. Bowser Kammy Kooper Jojora Gus Tiny Lakilulu Jurina Hunter
Jurina and Hunter were back in the warehouse. They were putting their clothes back on after having done 'you-know-what'.
Jurina couldn't help but smile. "That was great. It really settled me down."
"Same here! So...are you one of the good guys or the bad guys?" Hunter suddenly asked.
Jurina's smile quickly faded away. "W-why do you ask that?"
"Because you seem very troubled yet strong. I saw it in your eyes when I first saw you in Mario's van. And then you go kill that poor girl...it really has me thinking." Hunter said, not bothering to face her.
"I told you, it was an accident!" Jurina yelled and stomped her feet.
"Woah, okay! My mistake. No need to get all aggressive now." Hunter laughed.
"But...I...well...I'm not one of the bad guys. I've helped solve a lot of murder cases, you know, and killed a few criminals." Jurina said.
"Ah, I was right! You are strong. But, doesn't it get tiring playing the 'good guy' role all of the time? Don't you wish you could be the bad guy for one night?" Hunter said and smirked.
"N-no! I don't wanna end up like those criminals I've killed and caught. I can't..."
"Who says you have to? All you have to do is not get caught. And you don't even have to create this big murder massacre either."
"But...that girl that I accidentally killed. I FEEL like a criminal even though it was on accident. And I don't wanna get caught for it too!"
"Well, there you go. You just admitted to me that you'd like to be a bad guy for once." Hunter laughed again.
"What!? I NEVER SAID THAT! Stop putting words in my mouth!" Jurina got in his face.
"You said it yourself, Jurina! You feel like a criminal and you don't wanna get caught! Do I also have to mention that you never said you were a 'good guy'? You just said you weren't one of the bad guys." Hunter pointed out.
Jurina glared at him and started breathing in and out heavily.
"...FINE! I...I didn't like that I liked the feeling of killing an innocent person." She admitted.
Hunter perked up. "Wow! So you ARE tired of playing the good guy role, huh? Didn't fool me one bit!"
"It just seems wrong though! But...when I killed her...I just got this sudden rush flowing throughout my body. I've never felt that way in my entire life! It felt like I was free..." Jurina said and smiled began.
"And you want that 'free' feeling again, don't you?" Hunter asked.
"I...I don't know." Jurina hesitated.
"Yes you do. I know you do. Your mouth says 'no', but your eyes say 'yes'. Don't try to deny it now."
"...I do want that feeling again." Jurina whispered.
Hunter nodded. "And you can re-experience it by helping me and Tiny Kong out."
Jurina loudly gasped. "Y-YOU'RE INVOLVED WITH HER!?"
"Yes, I am. Tiny has already headed down to Daisy's castle. I'm not sure if she's started her killing yet, but I doubt she can do it all by herself. You can make this go by even faster if you help out, Jurina." Hunter offered.
Jurina looked away from them, clearly thinking hard.
"Come on! You want to re-experience that 'rush', right? Well, this is a free and easy opportunity to do it."
Jurina then looked back at him.
"I'll do it."
Mario ran and ran and ran. He didn't stop until he finally ran out of breath and had to calm himself down.
He couldn't believe that Jurina just killed someone. An innocent person. He hadn't seen an innocent person die right in front of him in such a long time.
There was no way he could trust Jurina now. She had gone to the dark side. What makes the situation even worse is that, there are now 4 people he has to look out for. Jurina, Tiny, possibly Gus, and the Teketeke killer that murdered the girl a while ago. He NEVER had to deal with this much stress and fear in his entire life.
As Mario caught his breath, he looked up and noticed that he coincidentally stopped in front of a police station.
"Should I really go in there and tell them..." he asked himself. Jurina specifically told him not to, but what would happen if he really did? Jurina said he would regret it. But what would she do though? Kill him? Kill his friends? There were too many possibilities.
Mario stepped forward a few steps, but then hesitated.
"I...I CAN'T DO IT!" he cried and ran back towards Daisy's castle.
Tiny sat up in a tree branch in Daisy's front yard.
"Just gotta wait for the perfect moment to strike..." Tiny said.
She could see some of the people through the big window. She felt a bit nervous about doing this attack, but at the same time, she wanted to do it. She wanted to cause chaos and crime because that's just who she is.
Also at the same time, she was starting to get impatient because of something missing.
"Goddamnit! Where the hell is Hunter at!? He should've been here by now!" She angrily yelled, but quickly covered her mouth as soon as she saw Mario walk to the front door of the castle.
"Oh...it's Mario...heh heh, he's next after Daisy. Then the rest will go." she smirked.
"Tiny? That you up there?" Hunter quietly called out.
Tiny looked away from the castle and looked down. "Hunter! Where the fuck have you been!?"
"Sorry! I got caught up into...something...yeah. Anyways, there's a girl named Jurina. She has long black hair, and she wants to help us with these murders." Hunter explained.
"Long black hair...? Oh, I think I saw her already go in. But why would she want to help out though?" Tiny asked.
Hunter shrugged. "Basically, she wanted to be a bad guy for once and I convinced to help us out with the killings."
Tiny gave him an unsure look. "Umm, alright then. But if she does anything suspicious then she's going down!"
Mario entered the castle in relief of finally getting back inside from the night.
"Welcome back!" Said the others happily. Goombella and Flurrie gave a great sigh of relief that he made it back alive.
But, he then spotted Jurina walking out of the hallway with Daisy.
"How the hell did she get here before me...?"
"Mario...I need to talk to you. Privately." Daisy stated with a very serious face.
Mario noticed Jurina look at him for a split second and then sat down with the others.
"Wait, Daisy! What did she-"
"NOW!" Daisy yelled, which made everyone jump.
Mario started sweating again. What could've Jurina done that made Daisy mad at him? This girl was starting to ruin everything now!
Mario followed Daisy out of the living room and into her bedroom.
"Geez, what the hell was all that about?" Kammy asked.
"Yeah...Jurina? What did you tell Daisy?" Jojora asked.
"Oh, it will all be explained once she comes out with Mario again." Jurina said and winked at Bowser. Bowser gave her a disgusted look and turned away.
The two went into Daisy's room. Daisy immediately shut the door right after Mario entered.
Mario sighed and faced Daisy, preparing for the worst.
Daisy crossed her arms. "So, Jurina tells me that you've killed a girl!?"
Mario gasped. "WH-WHAT!?"
Lemmy sighed to himself as he laid in his bed. It's weird, he felt tired but he just couldn't get to sleep. He supposed it didn't help the fact that his siblings were being loud outside of his room.
He suddenly got an idea. He remembered how he woke up last morning in Mushroom Woods, next to some scythe. He still wonders how he ended up there. But he had this weird feeling that it had something to do with the scythe. He dismissed it at first, but he had never seen this scythe before so it was odd how he woke up next to it.
Figuring he probably had nothing to lose, he got out of bed, went through his drawers and got his flashlight, and sneaked out of his room by using the window. He then ran all the way to Mushroom Woods as fast as he could with the flashlight guiding his way.
"Let's see...I think it was over here!" Lemmy said to himself and ran to where he thought the scythe was at...IF it was still there, of course.
Even though it was night time and silent, the woods didn't really scare Lemmy. He didn't become scared for a second while running through the woods.
But that all changed once Lemmy finally found what he was looking for. The scythe, right in front of him. The scythe part itself was silver and had a glaring reflect from the flashlight. The handle part was all black. Basically a generic description of a grim reaper's scythe.
He kneeled down and took a closer look at it.
"Hmmm...there's no labels on it or anything. So I guess someone made this all by themselves? Still though...why was this next to me when I woke up? Someone couldn't have just placed it here while I was sleeping...that makes no sense!"
Lemmy grabbed the scythe. He gasped as he felt an overwhelming energy run throughout his body.
"What...WHAT'S GOING ON!?" He yelled. His body felt like it was being taken over by something. He felt weak and strange.
He dropped to the ground and laid there for a minute. Lemmy got up again and stared at his scythe. He made an evil little smirk.
The rest of the Koopalings were in the living room playing Monopoly.
Bowser Jr. rolled a five and moved his piece to the chance space.
"Ooh! Chance space, chance space! I had better get a good card!" Bowser Jr. said, all psyched out.
Wendy picked up the chance card and read it outloud. "Go directly to jail. Do not collect $200 if you pass GO." Everyone else laughed.
"WHAT? NO! I hate going to jail! That's the least fun place to be!" Bowser Jr. angrily said and moved his piece to the jail spot.
"Speaking of jail...do any of you still think about Roy?" Ludwig asked.
Everyone stopped laughing and smiling.
"I thought we weren't gonna talk about him." Morton said in seriousness.
"I know, I know! It's just...I still can't get over the fact that he was the copycat murderer in Rogueport. It's really bizarre..." Ludwig shook his head.
"Well, congratulations. You just ruined the entire mood of the game." Iggy said and rolled his eyes.
"Sorry! I just think it's weird how we all want to forget that that ever happened! I mean, he's our brother! Don't you guys miss him, despite all of that?" Ludwig asked.
Nobody replied. Silence took over the entire room. It was obvious everyone was thinking hard about Roy with those serious looks on their faces, but no one wanted to admit it.
"...I'm gonna go check on Lemmy." Larry said and left the living room.
Bowser Jr. growled. "You see what you do, Ludwig!? You just ruined the entire night! Why can't you just keep your mouth shut for once in your life!?"
"Oh look who's talking! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one here who gets tired from hearing that annoying voice of yours!" Ludwig retorted.
"Will both of you just stop!? PLEASE! This doesn't need to get any worse than it already does!" Wendy said.
Larry ran back to the others. "YOU GUYS! LEMMY ISN'T IN HIS ROOM!"
"WHAT?" Everyone yelled at the same time.
"Wait hold on a second! Are you sure he's not in the bathroom?" Iggy asked for clarification.
"Dude, no he isn't in there! If he was, we would've heard the door squeaking! You know how noisy these stupid doors can be!" Larry pointed out.
"He must've sneaked out then. But why? Why at this time at night?" Morton asked.
"I have no idea, but we can't let him be out there by himself at this time of night. It's too risky!" Ludwig said then ran to the front door and opened it.
"LEMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" He called out as loud as he could. He could barely see anything from where he was at.
"I don't see what the big deal is though! He probably just went out for a walk. Plus, I highly doubt anything bad happened to him." Wendy said and checked her nails.
"YOU FOOL! Do you not remember that news report about Tiny Kong escaping the hospital and being on the loose!? There's a chance she's around our place right now and she could get Lemmy!" Iggy said.
"Why the hell would she come here though!? I mean seriously, we've BARELY interacted with Tiny all these years! There is no way she'll come over here. I refuse to believe it." Wendy crossed her arms.
"Well gee, how about the fact that...THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE TO ESCAPE THE POLICE!? We're isolated from the fucking city! The police RARELY search over here! It would be a good place for an escaped criminal to hide out at! Quit being so arrogant." Morton added.
"LEMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Ludwig called out again, a bit scared to go further out.
"I got a really bad feeling about this, you guys..." Bowser Jr. said.
"Same here. We NEED to call dad right away! This can't be good!" Larry shrieked.
"As much as I love dad and all, what the hell is he gonna do!? If he can't defeat Mario, then I HIGHLY doubt he'll defeat Tiny! Quick, what's the number for 911!?" Iggy yelled as he ran to the phone.
Larry scratched his head. "I hope to god that was just a joke."
Wendy then couldn't help but notice something outside where Ludwig was at.
"Ludwig...what is that running towards you!?" She yelled. Everyone looked to Ludwig.
"Huh?" Was all Ludwig said in reply. He turned around to see Lemmy dashing towards him at an incredibly fast speed.
"Oh, Lemmy! There you are! Wait...why are you carrying a-"
SLICE!
Ludwig's blood and guts splashed out inside the doorway and everyone screamed.
"OH MY FUCKING GOD, LEMMY! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Morton screamed and fell over the table. He saw Lemmy run up to him and swung his scythe.
SLICE!
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOO!" Wendy screamed as she got Morton's blood all over here and ran to the kitchen.
"SHIT, I'M GETTING OUT OF HERE!" Bowser Jr. yelled as he ran like hell out of the castle.
"WAIT, YOU GUYS! WE HAVE TO STICK TOGETHER!" Larry yelled and immediately saw Lemmy head right towards him.
"LARRY, IN HERE!" Iggy shouted and dragged Larry into Iggy's room and shut the door and locked it.
That didn't stop Lemmy though as he swung his scythe and stabbed through the door. He was gonna swing again, until he heard a loud noise coming from the kitchen.
Wendy was throwing out as much stuff as she could from the bottom cabinet so she could hide in it. She then noticed from the corner of her eye that Lemmy was standing at the entrance.
She screamed again and pushed herself into the cabinet. Lemmy ran to her and swung his scythe again, managing to slice off her foot.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !" She cried loud in pain. However, she managed to fit her whole body in so Lemmy couldn't get her. She could hear Lemmy growl and heard him stomp away.
She looked down at her leg and cried even more as her left foot was completely gone and all that there was left was her leg bleeding out excessively from the bottom.
But she then saw something just as worse...a cockroach. It was crawling up her other leg which made her scream again and fall out of the cabinet.
She then looked up, only to see that Lemmy came back for her. The only thing Wendy could do now was just scream again and cry even more.
SLICE!
Larry and Iggy were hiding under the bed.
"God, this is so fucked up! I seriously can't believe all of that crazy shit just happened!" Iggy shrieked.
"I know! But, could you believe that Lemmy did all of that though!? What the fuck has gotten into him!?" Larry said.
"I don't know, but...WAIT A SECOND! Lemmy had a scythe...and he sliced Ludwig and Morton in half...my god, that's it! He's the Teketeke copycat killer!" Iggy gasped in realization.
"What? No! There's no way he could be it!" Larry replied.
"Dude, did you not just see what happened!? HE HAS TO BE IT! THERE IS NO OTHER EXPLANATION!"
Larry started to sob. "Okay okay. I just wanna know why he would do this, though...he became like Roy..."
"Maybe he wanted to finish what Roy started back in Rogueport? Like, do a murder rampage without getting killed or caught?" Iggy suggested.
"I don't know...I just don't know!" Larry angrily pounded his fist on the floor.
"Damn...I just realized something."
"What?"
"We should've hid out in Lemmy's room. He has a window and we could've escaped from there."
"Well, we might still be able to make it if we go now..."
A loud bang was heard on the door.
"Or not."
Lemmy stabbed through the door again, breaking more of it. He kept on breaking and destroying it until he could finally fit reach the doorknob and open the door.
Larry and Iggy both covered their mouths so they wouldn't be able to make a sound.
They saw Lemmy's feet slowly walking towards the bed. Larry and Iggy got more and more nervous and scared by the second.
Then Lemmy stopped in front of the bed. He didn't do anything for about a minute.
Larry and Iggy both knew they were done for since Lemmy was right there, at their hiding spot.
Lemmy suddenly flipped the bed over in surprising strength. The two koopalings screamed at the sudden move, then Larry quickly got up and got out of there, but Iggy was too slow to move.
SLICE!
Larry crazily screamed as he ran out the hallway and into the living room. He tried to ignore the bloody mess around him as best as he could.
He was close to getting outside, where he could hopefully find Bowser Jr. and hide out together.
"Almost there...almost-"
SLICE!
Larry was sliced the second he stepped foot out the castle. His top half flinged far ahead while his bottom half just dropped to the ground with all of his intestines spilling out.
Bowser Jr. reached Mushroom Woods, but he was incredibly tired, scared and sweating. He stopped by a tree to catch his breath.
"That...-pant- was the scariest...-pant- thing I've ever...-pant- seen in my entire life!" He said to himself.
He dropped to the ground and started to cry. He only saw Ludwig and Morton die, but he wasn't sure about everyone else. For all he knew, he was the only one alive.
Bowser Jr. opened his eyes and focused his vision a bit more...only to see Lemmy standing in front of him.
He gasped and stood up. "Lemmy...please stop! Why are you doing this!? We didn't do anything to you to deserve this! JUST STOP!"
But of course, Lemmy didn't reply. He just kept on glaring at the poor and defenseless koopa.
Bowser Jr. didn't say anything either. He just kept running on away from Lemmy. However, he wasn't running fast as his legs were very tired. He quickly tripped to the ground and turned over on his back.
All he saw from his vision was the sky filled with billions of stars and the tops of the trees. It actually seemed peaceful and nice, despite the situation at hand.
Then Lemmy came into his view and held up his scythe. Bowser Jr. didn't scream or cry, he just gulped and braced for the impact.
Slice.
EOC.
See? Told you there would be a ton of deaths. Anyways, there will be no previews this time as next chapter will be the climax you've all been waiting for so I don't want to spoil anything at all. Please review.
