The wind gently blew, and Luigi could've sworn that he saw a tumbleweed blow past. Mario's eyes were fixated on Reisen's bunny ears.
I wonder what they feel like... Mario thought.
Reisen eventually took notice Mario's staring and sipped her tea a little faster.
Tewi also took notice, and a sly smile appeared on Tewi's face.
"So... ummmmm. What're your names?" Tewi asked.
"We're the Super Mario Brothers!" Mario and Luigi said, the two brothers stood up and struck a pose.
The wind blew again.
"Yeah, I'm done here," Reisen said, getting up and leaving the room. Tewi noticeably giggled which lead to Eirin elbowing Tewi in the stomach.
"Oof!" Tewi exclaimed, turns out Eirin doesn't know her own strength because Tewi barely walked out of the room after that.
"Is she ok?" Luigi asked.
"Ermmm.. she's fine," Eirin replied.
"Those were some... interesting poses," Kaguya stepped in, "but what are your names?"
"Oh." The brothers said. After the two introduced brothers introduced themselves and Eirin and Kaguya did the same thing. Nothing. Nothing particularly happened.
"Who were the two rabbit people?" Mario asked.
"Ah, yes," Eirin said, "The taller one is Reisen Udongein Inaba, and the shorter one is Tewi Inaba. You seem to interested in Reisen's ears, Mario." Eirin followed up.
"I mean, if someone had bunny ears on their head you'd want to touch them to!" Mario said defensively.
"All right, all right, " Eirin said, "Mario, was it? I appreciate your enthusiasm, however, Reisen is a nurse, not a toy." Mario had slumped in defeat. Everything was going pretty swell, until a white bunny rabbit hopped into the room, and everything went silent.
"You guys keep rabbits in your building! That's pretty funny." Mario said, picking up the rabbit guest.
"Yes we do," Eirin said, "I bought a radio from the kappa on Youkai Mountain, and it's able to connect to the Outside World, Kaguya, has recently become attached to a RB group from the 80's, or something like that." Eirin explained.
"Eirin. I can't believe you don't realize my tastes!" Kaguya replies sassily, then she turned to Mario "that rabbit you're holding right now, his name is Ronnie."
"Like Ronnie DeVoe?" Luigi asked."
"No, just Ronnie," Kaguya said, leaving Luigi and Mario slightly confused. After Kaguya's blunt statement, there was a small squeak from the other room.
Then there were a few more small squeaks.
Then the squeaks got louder. Then there was bustling from the other room again. Then, they came, crashing through the doorway.
SQUEAK! SQUEAK! SQUEAK!
AH! OH GOD!" Mario yelled as a group of rabbits threw themselves on top of him. Luigi was freaking the hell out meanwhile, screaming and thrashing around like a baby, however, Eirin and Kaguya just kept still, like this had happened a million times before. Kaguya had raised both of her hands and had clapped twice, then all of the rabbits froze. All of the rabbits fell off of Mario, Luigi, Eirin and Kaguya. The rabbits had scrambled around the room, and then they all lined up.
"Y'know what? Maybe you should get some sleep. Eirin, if you could guide them to their rooms." Kaguya suggested. Mario and Luigi had no qualms.
"Here is your room Mario. Good night." Eirin said as she showed the bedroom to Mario, it was a fairly small room with one futon and one table, needless to say, it was very simple. As the nurse walked back down the hall, Mario took off his shoes and slipped into his cozy futon. Everything that was happening at this moment was so surreal, would Mario ever get back to the Mushroom Kingdom? He lay staring up at the pitch black ceiling and pondered his questions. Until, he heard static coming from another room, it sounded like a radio being tuned. Mario could faintly hear words being exchanged.
...eisen...are...you...I'm fine, thanks for...the moon...it's pretty...Master...Toyo...well, thanks for...ecking on me...
Then the radio cuts off, along with a long sigh coming from the other room.
"I should get some sleep..." Reisen and Mario said at the same time.
Meanwhile...
Kaguya was had exited the bathroom while humming to herself.
"If it isn't love... why do I feel this way? Why does she stay on my mind..." Then, the wall had burst open, and a very angry Phoenix was standing in the wreckage.
"Kaguya! This time, we'll burn you alive!" Mokou exclaimed, Kaguya was thrown off for a second.
"How did you-"
"I HEARD YOUR STUPID HUMMING!" Mokou said, and then she clocked Kaguya in the jaw. She went flying out of the opposite side of the mansion. Kaguya was still confused.
"How did you hear me? And who's 'we'?" Kaguya asked her rival.
"You'll figure out soon enough." Mokou said taking out a spellcard.
Cursed Tailsman
"Indiscriminate Ignition Cards"
Mokou jumps upward and starts firing exploding talismans while spinning around, Kaguya only scoffed as she weaved around the talismans with ease.
"I can't believe you Mokou!" Kaguya said while dodging the talismans, "is this all that you have for me this evening?"
"Not even close Kaguya!" Mokou replied as she bent over and two wings of fire sprouted from her back.
This is gonna be great! Kaguya thought to herself. Mokou had charged toward the princess with vigor, however Kaguya managed to slip under Mokou in time, and Mokou nearly crashed into a tree. Annoyed, the Phoenix readied her second spellcard.
"Blaze Sign"
Self-Destruction Giant Flame Whirlwind
Similar to her last spellcard Mokou started to spin again. However, a giant flaming whirlwind formed while Mokou was spinning, and the trees caught fire, and that meant more trees caught on fire, and that meant even more trees caught on fire.
"Look at what you did!" Kaguya yelled at Mokou, "Now there's a forest fire!"
"Well that means I'll have to throw your corpse in a ditch ASAP then." Mokou said, Kaguya cracked a smile.
"On the contrary Mokou, your corpse will be thrown in a ditch, right next to your father's... well, whatever's left of your father." Kaguya said pulling out her own spellcard.
"End of Imperishable Night-Half Past 1-"
Kaguya ascended into the air and let loose a giant pattern of red and blue danmaku, as the forest was still on fire, and between Mokou attempting to dodge Kaguya's danmaku, Mokou grazed some pellets. But she got hit by one.
Then two.
Then five.
Then twenty.
Mokou hadn't realized she had gotten hit so many times, until Kaguya descended back to the ground, and Mokou looked down and got a good look at her bloody clothes. She fell to the ground.
"What a letdown Mokou. Didn't expand to beat you so easily." Kaguya said kneeling down to Mokou's body, but Mokou mumbled something.
"That's not going to work this time Mokou, my ear isn't going to end up in your mouth like last time." Kaguya said. Mokou mumbled again, it wasn't a trick. Kaguya thought she might as well entertain herself and picked up Mokou's head by her hair.
"Ok, say what you have to say-"
Then, using the rest of the air in her punctured lungs, Mokou let out the loudest whistle she could produce. It was enough.
"What was that about? Damn you! Now my-"
*THUD!*
A giant orange dragon had landed behind Kaguya, it wasn't that much taller than her, only 5"07, it had two large wings and a tail with a small ember on the tip.
"I... call him... Fushi..." Mokou said, then she had died, right there. Kaguya had more questions, but wasn't intimidated in the least.
"So you're Mokou's pet, huh?" Kaguya asked Fushi, the oversized lizard, and Fushi replied with a roar loud enough to wake up a whole village.
"Fine then. You'll do until Mokou regenerates."
Fushi used Flamethrower!
Kaguya hummed 'Can You Stand The Rain' while dodging Fushi's attack.
Kaguya dodged Flamethrower!
Fushi used Flare Blitz!
Kaguya seamlessly dodged that attack too. She just moved to the side.
"Do you know what you're doing Fushi?" Kaguya asked the lizard, Fushi just looked at her awkwardly.
"I see, without your master, you just do whatever right?" Kaguya said, Fushi walked up to the princess.
Fushi used Growl!
Kaguya didn't even flinch.
Growl was ineffective...
Well if you're done wasting my time, I need to get Eirin to put out this forest fire." Kaguya said, hovering past Fushi. Fushi looked down at the ground in defeat, his wings drooped. The lizard walked over to his dead master, lifted the tree off her corpse and put her on his back, and walked back into the bamboo forest.
Finally, I finished this chapter. I thought I would never do it.
This chapter needed a major overhaul from it's Wattpad counterpart. Trust me, I hate myself for making the Wattpad version of this chapter. And yes Fushi is a Charizard, and his name means 'immortality' it's a nice touch to connect him and Mokou no? Anyways I'll catch you later!
Epilogue*
"Have you had enough humans Rumia?" Darkrai asked.
"I haven't even started yet," Rumia replied. Rumia was about to feast on the human until she heard muffled speech outside of the room that they were in. Finally, the door shot open.
"BUSTED!" Pit shouted.
"AND WE ACT YOU IN THE CAUGHT!!" Koishi followed up.
Pit let out a slight sigh of frustration.
"Ehhh, sorry," Koishi said.
"Anyway! We're going to stop you!" Pit said.
"Preferably outside where we won't get in trouble for fighting inside of a building!" Koishi exclaimed.
Darkrai let out a small chuckle.
"Very well then. We can settle this outside..."
