Chapter seven!

Fire in the Pit

"Lap 2!" Lakitu anounced. The Koopa King Kart spun out on the Banana that Peach had placed. Peach cried out victoriously. "Alright!" She shouted. Daisy wished the kart would go a bit faster, but it wouldn't. She was feeling nervous and stressed out. Daisy swerved around the corner and accidentily crashed into a Fake Item Box. "ACK!" Daisy shouted just as the Fake Item Box collided with the kart. "Switch!" Peach commanded. The two sisters switched places with eachother. Peach noticed how stressed out Daisy was. She drove quickly yet carefully around the corner and left the items up to Daisy. During the Final lap, the Bloom Coach had nearly caught up to the Parawing Kart, the kart in last place. "Switch." Daisy said. Nothing. "Switch!" Daisy commanded. "No." Peach told her. "I've noticed how stressed out you've been. If I let you drive this last lap, we'll be lucky is we get out of here alive."

Daisy glared. She was irritated. Then, again, she supposed that she had been annoying in the past, particularly to Peach, so she remained quiet. Besides, Peach was doing a fine job of driving and dodging the Piranha Plants. They approached the speed up and jump just beforethe finish line. What could happen now? "Oh.....NO!" Peach shrieked. She checked the monitor and saw that a Spiny shell was heading for them, and they were in midair! KARASH!!! The Spiny Shell connected with the back of the kart and it exploded. They fell below. Lakitu was hasety at returning them to the speed up jump. Bowser was right beside them! The Koopa King kart crashed into the side of the Bloom Coach. Then, FINISH! Daisy's breath caught. She gripped the bar tightly, not wanting to let go. Not wanting to say anything. First or second? Daisy looked over Peach's shoulder and examined the dash board.

1st place went to.....THEM!!! "YESSSSS!!!" Daisy shouted out. "HAHA!!! We beat the hell out of you, Bowser! In your FACE!" She looked over her shoulder at Bowser and stuck her tongue out at him. Bowser had an extremely angered look on his face, a you-stupid-jerk-I-will-get-you-back look. Daisy looked at Peach. Peach had stopped the kart and had her forehead on the dash board. Her hands were covering her face. Her shoulders were shaking and she was making sobbing noises. "Peach? What's wrong?" Daisy asked. She put her hand comfortingly on Peach's shoulder. Then, Peach looked up. She was in gales of laughter. "Hahahaahaha! Di-did you see the look on Bowser's face? Hahahaha! What an IDIOT!" She laughed. She pounded her fist on the dash board and bent her head back and laughed, her eyes tearing up from laughter.

"Our princess had gone insane." Toad commented to Toadsworth. Toadsworth nodded and Toadette giggled. "She looks funny when she's insane." The pink shroom giggled. "Now, c'mon! We've got a ceremony to attend!" Toadsworth said. He got in the Parade kart and drove over to the Bloom Coach. Peach and Daisy got on the two pedestals on each side of the kart. Toadsworth drove the Parade Kart towards Peach Beach, unaware of what Bowser was planning.....

"We can't start the ceremony." Toadsworth anounced. "WHAT?!" Daisy demanded. Peach shook her head. "He's right. We need the six people in first, second AND third place. Bowser and his son haven't arrived yet." She explained. Daisy glared at the ground. "He's up to something." She said at last. Everyone turned to face Daisy. "I think she's right..." Luigi mumbled. Daisy still did not look up. "What's he up to?" Mario inquired. "What else?" Daisy asked retorically. "To kidnap Peach.....again." Mario punched his fist into his hand. "Well, he won't get her this time!" He said. "Help! Bowser's trying to kidnap me!" A voice screamed. Mario and Luigi rushed off to save the day. Daisy rolled her eyes. Then she turned towards Peach. "I swear, those two'll----ACK!" Daisy gasped as she saw the Bowser was running away with Peach. "Hahaha! My diversion worked perfectly!" The Koopa King cackled. Daisy panicked. What could she do?! What could she do?! It's not like she'd ever fought before! "Mario! Luigi! It was a diversion! Get back here! That loser has kidnapped Peach!!" She shouted at the top of her lungs.

Meanwhile, Mario and Luigi are passed out in an ally nearby. Waluigi and Wario had hit them on the heads with frying pans. "We have such diabolical scehemes!" Waluigi exclaimed. The two brothers walked away with their frying pans. Just then, Daisy rushed up. "NO!" She screamed. "What the hell am I gonna do now?!" She complained. She nudged Mario. "Mario! Wake UP!" She screamed in his ear. "ACK!" Mario shouted as he woke up. "What?! What?! Is it the end of the world?!" Daisy glared. "It WILL be if Bowser succeeds in killing Peach! We have to hurry! That overgrown lizard has Peach!" She told him. Mario shook Luigi awake and the three of them rushed towards Bowser's castle.

"Those idiots really think they can get her back." Bowser laughed. He glanced over at the chair where Peach was tied to. "I'm bored!" Bowser Jr. complained. Bowser glared at his son. "Would you STOP SAYING THAT?! Why don't you whip her for a while?" He suggested. Bowser Jr. giggled impishly. He got out a whip and walked up behind Peach. Bowser left the room and entered the next one. On a pedestal was the Crystal Ball that Daisy had used to summon the ghost of her mother. "I don't get it. Is there some sort of button I have to press the eject that stupid spirit?" Bowser grumbled. He examined the Crystal Ball. Suddenly, the alarm sounded. (Does Bowser have an alarm? He does now.) Bowser put the Craystal Ball back on the pedestal and rushed back into the room where Bowser Jr. was now drinking some hot sauce. Bowser checked the monitor to see that Daisy, Mario and Luigi were nearing the throne room.

"Dammit!" Bowser cursed. "Those stupid Mario Brothers and....uhhh.....I forgot who she is." Bowser Jr. shrugged. Peach tried to yell at Bowser, but she was gagged. "Well, I'll make them wish they hadn't broken in!" Bowser exclaimed. "Jr., get out the whip and anything other weapons we have!" Bowser Jr. groaned in annoyance. "Why can't ya get Ludwig to do it?" He demanded. Bowser looked around for a while, as if searching to an answer. "Shut up and get the weapons!" He said at last.

Daisy was holding a bow and had a quiver on her back. "It was really convenient that we found this quiver full of arrows and this bow in Bowser's front yard." She said. Mario and Luigi nodded in agreement. Suddenly, a roboting arm came out of the ground and grabbed Mario. It pulled him down through a trap door in the floor. "Uhhhh......Oooooooookay...." Daisy said, sweatdropping. She opened up the trap door and she and Luigi went down the dark staircase. Along the walls were portraits of Bowser's decendants; Baron Von Bowser, Count Koopula, and lots of others. Luigi leaned up against the wall and it flipped around, transferring him to another room. "L...Luigi?" Daisy called into the darkness. No reply. "Damn, this is bad.....this is very very bad." She mumbled. She continued walking down the dark corridor. In the distance she heard a pipe organ playing. When she reached the end of the corridor, she found a tape player that was the source of the music. She shot it with an arrow and it completely fell apart. Daisy muttered something under her breath as she climbed up the ladder beside the pieces of the tape player.

She opened the hatch and crawled out, to discover that she was standing on the Bowser's Castle racing course. A chill ran down the brunette princess's spine. She walked a bit, and then saw something that made her scream:Bowser had Peach hung over a pit of fire by a rope. Bowser was cackling as Bowser Jr. aimed a volcano rock at the rope. He hurled it and the rope began to unravel. Hearing Daisy's scream, Bowser halted his son from hurling rocks at the rope which suspending Princess Peach over the lava pit. "Welcome, uh, princess! You are just in time to see Princess Peach be dropped into this pit of lava! Does that shock you?" Bowser asked mockingly. "Uh, no." Daisy replied. "I already figured it out." "Oh..." Bowser looked disappointed. "Well, you're next!" Daisy nocked an arrow and aimed it at Bowser, hoping that it would hit.....
