• The Torso Of Diamond City •
Princess Daisy was part of a group of tourist, touring around Diamond City. Eventually she ended getting separated from the group due to her group walking through a crowded crowd, and she ended up being lost in the city and eventually she ends up in some neighborhood.
Daisy was walking through a bunch of empty streets and it was already dark. While she was passing through a neighborhood, she ends up encountering Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, who like Daisy, the Kongs were also part of the same tourist group as Daisy, and ended up getting lost as well.
"So you two ended up getting lost as well huh ?", said Daisy.
"Sadly, yes", said Diddy Kong.
"We are also trying to find way back. You don't mind if we tag along with you ?", said Dixie Kong.
"Well of course, I don't mind having some company", said Daisy.
So three continued to find their right path to Diamond City.
A few minutes of walking the three stumble upon an abandon harbor, they walked for a bit until they spotted a grim looking Hammer Bro, who was leaning out the window of an abandoned wooden building. He was staring at the trio. Daisy and the Kongs were about to ask him for direction.
When suddenly, the Hammer Bro jumped out of the window. The trio couldn't believe what they're seeing.
The Hammer Bro's body is split in half, his lower half is missing. Then the Hammer Bro took off his head and held it to the left side of his body. At the same time pulled out a machete.
After what Daisy and the Kongs just witness they immediately started running away from the Hammer Bro.
The Hammer Bro began to drag his body at high speed going after the three.
Daisy and the Kongs ran with all their might, but the Hammer Bro manage to catch with trio.
The Hammer Bro leap into the air and slashes Diddy Kong in half.
Dixie briefly stopped running and looked back.
"DIDDY !!!!!", yelled Dixie, who was deeply horrified on what just happen to Diddy Kong.
Daisy then pause and grabbed Dixie by the arm.
"COME ON, IT'S TOO LATE. WE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE !", yelled Daisy.
Both Daisy and Dixie continued running. Daisy then spots a bridge up ahead and hear water flowing underneath it.
"HEY WE GOT TO JUMP OFF THAT BRIDGE AND ESCAPE THAT THING BY GOING DOWN THE RIVER !", yelled Daisy.
"RIGHT !", said Dixie.
Right before they can reach closer to the edge of the bridge, the Hammer Bro once again leap into the air once again, and slashes Dixie Kong in half, and then decapitating her head right when her top half fell to the ground.
In a state of panic, Daisy immediately briefly ran and then jump forward in the air as far as she can towards the edge of the bridge. Daisy was about to jump off the bridge completely, but midway in the air, the Hammer Bro leans over at the edge of the bridge, pulling back it's arm with his machete in hand, above it's body ready to slash at Daisy. He misses by a few inches but manages to slash Daisy's back left shoulder by the tip of it's machete.
After Daisy got into the river, she blacked out.

Daisy ends up waking up near a river nursed by a little girl in red, that she identities as Ashley, a young witch who works for Wario's company.
"Ashley ?", murmured Daisy.
"So your finally awake", said Ashley.
"I was passing by then I saw you and your friends being chased by The Torso Of Diamond City on top of the bridge from a far. After you jumped into the river I you pulled out once we got far away from it", said Ashley.
"What was that thing ?", said Daisy.
"I just mention it's name earlier, it's The Torso Of Diamond City", said Ashley.
"The Torso Of Diamond City is the ghost of a Hammer Bro name Jimmy Vatelo. Several years ago in life Jimmy Vatelo was a big gambler, he was always betting people for their money here in Diamond City. One day Jimmy was broke and decided to gain money by gambling against a mob boss. Both agree that the loser must give their money to the winner, unknown to the mob boss, Jimmy lied about having any money. Eventually the mob boss find out about his lie once Jimmy lost the gamble. Angered by this, the mob boss made an example out of him. The mob boss and his gang tied up Jimmy and took him to the railroads located near the abandoned harbor. The mob boss threw his body in front of an oncoming train, which decapitated Jimmy's head and split his body in half. They say the mob boss kept his lower half for souvenir for some time until he disposes of it. They say his vengeful ghost remain and haunts the abandoned harbor, and kills helpless wanderers late at night if they dare enter it's territory. Only a few people including myself know about this ghost and it's story, thus avoiding entering the abandoned harbor late at night."
"I see", said Daisy after listening to Ashley.
"I'm sorry about your friends. To let you know authorities are already at the scene, and the medics took your friends' bodies away. If your going to explain to them what happen. They're not going to believe you, that a half body spectre slash your friends in half", said Ashley.
"I know, but still... What should I do ?", said Daisy.
"My best advice is to avoid going through the abandoned harbor, and tell the rest of your friends to never enter there late at night", said Ashley.
Daisy don't know what to say, so she nodded in agreement.
After all that, Ashley lead Daisy to the right path to Diamond City. And the following days Daisy continued on touring around Diamond City with her tour group, until she headed home.
Simce then whenever someone she knows go to visit Diamond City, Daisy warns them not to enter the abonden harbor late at night, due to The Torso Of Diamond City.
At first people laugh at her out of disbelieve, but despite that they follow her advice anyway since Daisy looks deeply serious.
Daisy will never forget her encounter with The Torso Of Diamond City, and the scar on her back left shoulder serves as a reminder.
