Author's Notes: Well, I am nearing the end of my story here, just because I am running out of ideas from no reviews because no once checks back for new chapters, hint, hint, wink, wink, nudge, nudge! Prince Toadstool gets a first name too! I know I said he wouldn't but I didn't know what King Toadstool should call him. If you give me reviews and ideas, the story will be longer, if not, I will probably end it next chapter or so! I am writing most of this chapter sleep deprived, so look out! Now go young grasshopper, and read!
Chapter 6: Accusation
Back at the castle, Che Crew were all sitting in a big common room sipping drinks and discussing a rumor that was spreading through the kingdom.
"How could anyone think that?" asked Prince Toadstool, half to himself and half to everyone around him.
"I dunno," said Mario who was very tired and a little drunk.
"More wine?" asked King Toadstool.
"Ukay, why dun we do somthung more like a" Toad never finished his sentence because at that moment he collapsed on the floor in a drunken sleep.
"Uhanyway, The only castle in the next kingdom is yours," said Mario.
Mario reached over to the flask in the middle of the table and poured himself some more wine.
"Well, since you sort of have been dissapearing nightly and no one knows where you go, including usI think I am going to have to side with the half of the kingdom that believes you did it." Said Mario carefully as he downed a full glass of wine and a little dribbled onto his overalls.
"WHAT?!? HOW THE HELL COULD YOU SAY THAT YOU SORRY SON OF A BITCH!!" yelled the enraged prince as he vaulted across the table and started pounding Mario with all he had.
Mario took a punch or two to the face and then fought back with such ferocity. He slammed a big fist into the prince's face only to be hit in the head with the metal flask of wine. Mario and Prince Toadstool circled around the room for a minute then stood there face to face, sweating and gasping for breath. The Prince had a bloody nose and black eye and Mario had a cut in his head from the flask being brought down on there. Mario jerked forward and Prince Toadstool hurled a chair at him.
"Holy shit!" Mario said as he ducked out of the way.
Mario grabbed a glass flower vase from the table and ducked behind a couch. He took a lighter from his pocket and tore of a piece of his sleeve. He filled the vase with some wine and stuck the shred of his sleeve in it. He lit the sleeve on fire
"Molotov cocktails away!" said Mario as he hurled the vase at the Prince.
"Ahhhhit fucking burns!" the Prince screamed in pain as he grabbed his face.
"Heheheh," Mario snickered at the sight.
"You will pay you, youtoilet plunging shortass!" Prince Toadstool yelled as he slowly crept across the room and climbed on the couch. He body slammed the back of the couch and it crashed on top of Mario. Finally, the rest of The Crew took action to stop the fight. Luigi and Toad took Mario out from under the couch and held him back while Princess Jennifer and King Toadstool held Prince Toadstool.
"I should kill you for throwing that thing at memy beautiful face!" the Prince touched his face tenderly and flinched. "But first I have to kill a anime character name Brock, on that stupid show Pokemon."
"I was just giving my thoughts on the matter," Mario's face was bright red with rage. "I should go burn down your damn castle, with you locked inside!"
"Mario, son, shut the hell up! You are acting like children!" King Toadstool yelled as he continued his struggle to hold his son back. The Prince relaxed and stopped trying to get at Mario. The King let go and motioned for Jennifer to let go too. Prince Toadstool smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, picked up his cloak, and tied it around his neck. It took Mario another minute or two to calm down. He relaxed and his holders let go too. Mario rubbed his side and put his hat back on.
"You should go to the infirmary , Christopher," said The King to The Prince. Christopher left and went off to get his face treated. Mario put the couch back and lay back.
"Umm, ouch. That hurt a lot." Mario said and lay on his stomach.
"Why the hell did you give him a cocktail to the face you son of a bitch" yelled Jennifer as she broke a bottle on the table and brandished it menacingly.
"Awww, go run that bottle up your ass before I run something else up there." At that point, Mario closed his eyes and fell asleep as if nothing had happened. The next morning, Mario woke up on the same couch. He got up and went to his room. He put on a red t-shirt, jeans and went down to the entry hall. Everyone was standing there, except the detective.
"Where's Porcini?" asked Mario.
"Six feet under," Luigi replied.
"What happened?"
"Someone came in the castle and killed him."
"Damn. Any idea who?"
"Yes, we belive it was Bowser."
"That doesn't seem like Bower."
"We are going to the other' castle in the next kingdom"
Prince Chris shot Luigi a look but didn't move. The Crew all went outside and got into a very large carrige. The carrige began the bumpy 100 mile ride that would take 10 hours to reach.
"What is the point of doing this again?" asked Prince Toadstool.
"To see if you did do that to Peach."
"Kill the Killer, Kill the Killer, Kill the Killer" came a yelling from outside. The carrige jerked to a stop and everyone inside got out. Standing in the middle of the road, was half the kingdom holding signs and yelling. When they saw the Prince get out of the carrige, they stopped dead.
"GET IM!" yelled one of the protesters.
All the people ran at Prince Toadstool brandishing their signs like clubs.
"Eep! Help me, I havn't done anything, why do you want to kill me?!?" Prince Toadstool yelled to the mob rushing at him.
"You killed her, now we will kill you!" yelled the mob in response and kept coming.
