THIRD PART IS FINALLY COMING UP! Once again, read review and recommend! As of writing this, it is October 20th at 2:49 in the morning. Raven
For those of you wondering what the heck just happened with Raven, Her rage took over. As she does have Koopa Dna, this could make for an interesting fight!
Raven's hands closed over Ariyana's throat. Her eyes had gone completely red.
As Ariyana clawed at Raven's hand, The Princess held the hunting knife to her throat.
"You and your bitch Morton will not. Touch. My family. Not. Anymore. "Her voice could barely be called a voice. It was more of an animalistic snarl.
Morton Sr. was watching with undivided attention. As he had been the one to give her the mutated genetics she currently had, he was curious to see how they affected her.
Red.
All Raven could see was red.
"Ra..ven. Stop! C-Can't breathe!" Ariyana was whimpering.
"You threatened him.'' She growled back . "YOU THREATENED HIM. I'LL KILL YOU."
''MORTON!" Ariyana managed to shriek, sounding terrified.
Morton Sr looked annoyed, but complied, stomping towards them. Why did he always have to save her stupid ass?
THWOOM
Morton Jr's hammer slammed into Morton Sr.'s torso.
As the elder Koopa let out a roar of pain, Iggy ordered the other soldiers set to work tearing down the shoddily made brick wall. Then he ran to Raven and shook her shoulder.
"MOM. YOU NEED TO SNAP OUT OF IT. WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE." He yelled into her ear.
It was though a very loud popping had occurred in her ears. Raven blinked very hard at the sudden noise going on around her.
Color.
Raven could see color.
As her mind returned to her, she dropped Ariyana quickly, who had been going blue. The Queen fell to the ground, coughing and choking.
Raven stared down at her in horror. Had SHE done that? All she remembered was her mother making a threat.
What on Earth had happened?
"What..I don't-What the hell happened?" Raven stammered. She looked very disorientated.
"You're a monster." Ariyana spat out. "A fucking monster. I'm glad I didn't raise you entirely. I would have left you in the desert to DIE,You little FREAK!"
There was a loud BOOM as Morton Sr went through the wall that hid Tyrion and Luigi from the others. A massive cloud of plaster dust caused the elder Koopa to cough and hack violently.
Tyrion emerged , supporting Luigi. He made sure to stomp on Morton Sr.'s face as hard as he could as he went by.
Ariyana's face lost all color.
"T-Tyrion."
As Iggy rushed to help Ludwig, Tyrion limped to Ariyana.
CRACK!
The slap he delivered could be heard through the dungeon.
Morton Sr. Let out a deafening roar as he got to his feet.
As he threw a white powder into the air, a flashbang went off, temporarily blinding the group.
As the light faded, the group quickly realized that Morton Sr. and Ariyana had escaped.
"Mom. Your eyes…" Iggy's voice was shaking. "They're red."
Raven glanced his way. She was still very confused as to what had transpired.
"T-They are? All I remember is…hate…I wanted to kill her." Her voice was unusually calm. "We need to retreat though. Morton Jr. , Can you go retrieve the Kingdom's sword for me? I told you where it could be, and you're the only one who can withstand this heat."
Morton Jr. stepped forward.
"I'll retrieve it. Iggy, You need to ensure our mother gets onto the airship. I don't believe she is…well right now."
As Morton ran out of sight, Iggy tugged Raven's arm.
"Come on! We have to go!"
Raven didn't budge.
"May I try?" Tyrion spoke up. ''I believe she's still disoriented from what transpired."
Iggy nodded and stepped back.
Tyrion gently shook her shoulder.
"Raven."
Raven blinked once. Then twice. Her eyes slowly changed back to violet.
"Father."
"Raven. We have to go." He tugged her arm gently.
Thirty minutes later, they were lifting off in the airship. Then, they set a course for Darkland, unaware that they now had four stowaways.
-
Thalia
Darkness spread across the Mushroom Kingdom's capital.
Thalia rose from her bed, fully armored and clothed. She and the clone of her brother had both agreed that it was best to get Lina out of there.
She spoke into a black communication device.
"Soldiers. Armor up,it's time to go. Rickan , get them out to the front lawn."
"Yes Maam!" The second in command barked out.
She slid out the door, moving in the shadows.
Her arm was grabbed quickly.
"Thalia.''Tyrion's voice came from the shadows.
"Yes T.C.?"
He pulled her close.
"I've gotten her all dressed and ready in her room. Stay safe when you're bringing her out. It's bad enough that our kingdom's forces are already at our doorstep. Please reach Darkland safely."
"Come with us."
The clone looked surprised.
"Pardon?"
"Come with us. They're going to kill you all otherwise."
The clone nodded.
"….Alright. We'll meet you outside."
With that, she sprinted for Lina's room.
As she opened the door, she called out.
"Lina love, time to go."
The little girl looked up from her coloring. She was wearing a blue coat and tiny little sneakers.
"Auntie!It's sleepy time! But Cloney Grampa said it's time to go!"
Thalia packed away the crayons and the drawing into one of the bags.
"Yes it is. Do you have anything you're going to want to carry with you?"
Lina grabbed her black teddybear.
"Mister Snuggles!" Her voice was happy. Clearly, when you're locked in a room for most of your life, your teddy would automatically become your only friend.
Thalia picked up the three bags before scooping up the tiny princess and her teddy. Lina began cooing to her teddy bear, having a conversation with him.
Then they were off, taking the quickest route down to the front doors.
An explosion rocked the castle, sending Thalia flying down the last two steps.
Her comm device crackled to life.
"THALIA. THALIA THEY'RE HERE. THEY'VE GOT ME SURROUNDED. YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Rickan screamed into the comm.
''RICKAN , I'M NOT LEAVING WITHOUT YOU!'' She shouted into the comm.
"You don't GET IT THALIA. I'M THE LAST ONE."
Thalia's heart skipped a beat.
"The rest were killed in that explosion. I'm going to distract him. That should give you enough time to escape with the princess."
"Rickan, I can't leave you here. I won't leave without you." She could feel tears streaming down her face. Rickan had been with her since the beginning. She had been the first man she had ever loved, even if she hadn't told him. "You don't get it Rickan, I-"
"I know…I know …your feelings. It's been an honor serving you, Lady Thal-ARRRRGH."
''RICKAN? RICKAN?" She yelled into the comm.
''Did you hear that?" A sickly sweet voice came over the comm. "That was the sound of your little boyfriend being gutted like a pig!"
''FACE ME, YOU BITCH!" Thalia screamed. "I WILL END YOU!"
"Auntie!" Lina wailed. She was scared by all the yelling and loud noises. Tears streamed down her chubby cheeks as she clung to Mister Snuggles. "We go! We go see Auntie Raven!"
Thalia held her niece close. Then she kicked the front door open.
Avenging him would have to wait.
The airship was still parked on the front lawn. Like a flash, Thalia darted across the lawn.
"Stay quiet, Lina love." She spoke softly to the weeping toddler. "We're almost there."
The Tyrion clone and most of his forces were already on board.
"The others tried to save your men Thalia. I'm sorry." He looked upset. "We need to leave before-"
"Before what,Ty-ri-on?" A musical voice sang out. It was the same voice from the comm.
Tyrion gulped nervously.
"It's you."
Thalia glanced over her shoulder. That blonde hair and blue eyes gave the clones identity away.
''You bastards made a clone of my NIECE?"
The Peach Clone chuckled.
"Well hello there Auntie!" She simpered. "Did it hurt listening to him die? I bet it did. Now why don't you hand over the princess?"
Thalia tossed the Tyrion clone the bags she'd been carrying.
"This is my great niece. You are not Peach." She snapped.
As Peach took a step onto the gangplank, Thalia brought her foot up, slamming into the clone's torso.
Thalia turned and ran up the gangplank.
"OPEN FIRE.'' Peach commanded her troops.
As the troops opened fire, T.C. dropped as a bullet went through his shoulder.
"TAKE OFF , YOU IMBECILE!" Thalia yelled to the captain.
As the engines roared to life, the ship shot into the sky.
Thalia sank to her knees and hugged Lina tight.
"T.C, let's get out of here and then we'll get that bullet out. I think we've just started a war."
AN: I know Book 2 was shorter than book one. But it was always meant to be. A lot of characters needed to be introduced very quickly for the last book and , to be honest, by the end I was getting burnt out. After this is posted,my time of writing this being the 20 I'm aware that this may cause people to have some frustration, but the truth is, I've needed a vacation from this main story desperately. Stay tuned for the Three Au's , plus the final book in the series; This is war. SOUNDTRACK Everybody wants to rule the world-Lorde
