Mushroom Wars

by King Olly of Origami

An outbreak of Shroomitz puts the world in danger. But a group of survivors called the "Mushroom Saviors" finally create the cure, it seemed like everything would be uphill from there. Until the team's medic, Olga, finds out who's been spreading it at such a fast pace...(Rated T for mild blood, death, one disembodied arm, and Zombies! A little darker than my other stories.)

5. Marino verses Olwdd

Marino kicked down the door. "Olwdd."

Olwdd turned around in his "throne", which was just an office chair he scavenged. "Took you long enough." He stood. "I was starting to get quite bored."

"I'm not here to talk." He held the gun up at Olwdd. "Don't fight, and this'll get done quickly."

Olwdd's arm slowly slithered to Marino from behind. "Well, I hope you make this quick..."

The arm shot the curse into Marino's leg. "Gah! What-?"

The arm retracted back into the bandages. "Just a little help. For us."

"Olwdd, how could you?"

"It was either make you join me, or devour you. I think you'll find this one to be more comfortable."

"AHHH!"

"Now, tell me where they're hiding."

A map fell out of Marino's pocket. Olwdd picked it up. "Oh, you labeled your base?" He gave Marino an evil smirk. "What an idiotic move."

Marino stood back up, mutated into a humanoid-Shroomitz monster. The same thing that happened to the Toad.

"Marino, we're going to kill thousands of people. Are you ready, boy?"

Marino groaned in response.

"Good."

A small danger level scale caught Olwdd's attention. He had it on his wall a a memento, but it actually worked. He walked over to it and dusted it off. The arrow twitched forward, toward 6.

"Danger level 6?" He looked at his arm. "Must be Marino ticking it off."
