Chapter 10: Before Trial

"Ugghh, this is horrible!" groaned Fox as they waited for the trial to start.

"You're tellin' me!" muttered Captain Falcon, distressed because of what happened.

"Hiii!" said Kirby, which meant, "And the Goldfish are stale, too!"

"But that's strange… Why would Team 3 accuse us? We found them in that sorry state!" seethed Roy.

Just then, Team 3 came walking by where they were sitting. Peach stared at them with misted eyes, and growled in a voice that was not hers, "Ha ha! Now, feel our pain, you dirty killers!"

The rest of Team 3 nodded. All of them, strangely, were misty-eyed.

Suddenly, Peach's eyes went back to normal. She cried, "Wait! Guys! It's the master-"

Yoshi suddenly gulped her in his mouth, preventing her from saying anymore.

"Yoshi!" cried Roy. He lunged forward, about to stab the misty-eyed dinosaur.

"Wait!" cried Falcon. "If you hurt him, then we're gonna get in even worse trouble!"

"…Whatever," Growled Roy.

"Dang… What is happening?" said Fox.

"Look at me, idiots!" growled a gruff voice.

Looking up, they saw an officer. Let's go. It's time fer yore trial!"

With unclear thoughts, Team 1 arose from their spot and trudged off, with the officer jogging along in their moody wake.
