Dr.Matthias and Peach attended to Mario and Luigi's bite wounds the next morning. Dr.Mario, somehow un-zombified for the moment, locked up himself, Mario, and Luigi in a room. He gave Peach the key for safe keeping.
Ding-KABOOOOOOOM!
"I got it!"
Yoshi and DK were in Tennis Clothes, about to play a vigorous game of Tennis, so they were by the door first. Yoshi opened the door, and was immediately trampled by a girl in blue jeans, a red sleeve-less shirt, and a doctor's robe. "YOSHI!"
"WHOA! Miss Dutchess?"
AnimeDutchess, or Anidu for short, smirked. "Oh, you silly Dino! Call me Anidu!"
Yoshi laughed. "Ah Yes, 'Anidu'. What are you doing here?" Yoshi had met Anidu at a past art expo.
"I came to see my bro! He's been gone for a full day!"
DK raised his eyebrow. "You mean, he didn't tell you?"
Anidu shrugged. "All he told me that a special little friend was in trouble. I figured that I could help!"
Dr. Matthias walked in. "Anidu!"
"Big Brother!" Anidu tackled into Dr. Matthias. "Didja miss me!"
Dr.Matthias looked shocked, then angry. "Anidu! I told you not to follow me! Things have gotten worse!"
"You mean…Pichu's making everyone into mindless Pica zombies?"
"How did you know?"
"I pinned a camera on you!"
"I swear Anidu, you were meant to be a spy!"
Anidu giggled in a slightly high voice. "I know!"
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later during lunch…….
Everybody, minus Pichu, Dr. Mario, Mario, Luigi, and, strangely, Bowser, were gathered around the table, including Dr.Matthias, Anidu, Dak, KB, Niyanna, and Xavier (SEE FIRST STORY). They were eating Pizza and discussing the Pica Problem.
"Well, last time, we fed Pikachu cheese that looked like soap! Couldn't that work?"
Dr. Matthias shook his head. "No. Pica has Type Z pica. Basically its viral code is much more immune to food. Dr. Mario and I looked over Pichu's DNA for hours last night. All we found out is that it's contagious if Pichu draws blood."
Everyone in the room murmered.
Peach nodded. "That's why Mario, Luigi, Dr. M and Pichu are not here. They're being held in a captive unit on the 3rd floor." Peach shook her now blonde hair. After it had grown back, she re-re-dyed it back to blonde.
Pikachu pondered for a while. "You said Pichu had Type Z Pica. Then why didn't I get it? And if type Z Pica was another recorded case, then why isn't there a cure?"
"I can answer that."
Bowser walked in. He looked unusually pale.
"Bowser! There you are!" Yoshi went to greet him, but stopped when he noticed Bowser's sad eyes.
Bowser sighed. "I thought you guys should hear this from me. You all know my 8 Koopa kids, now all over the town helping instead of hurting. Well, in truth, I had a 9th child."
BUM BUM BAAAAAAAAAA!
Everyone gasped, either at the realization of Bowser's 9th child, or that weird sound….anyways…..
"Kooplan. I will never forget him. He had Type Z Pica. Bit nearly everyone within distance. Eventually we had to lock them all up, as they would turn into mindless Pica Zombies from Midnight till Sunrise. Kooplan eventually turned worse with each night. He would re-bite each of the people, and then when everyone else had dies, he kept biting himself. The dead people turned to normal after they died. Kooplan died 2 weeks later, but he wasn't rid of the virus."
Everyone was dead silent. Bowser continued on.
"I donated Kooplan's body to the Nintendo University. They conducted tests among tests, but found no cure. I suppose that's why I was evil for a while, because I had lost my youngest son." Bowser sniffled, and looked at Pikachu. "I know one thing. Kooplan said one thing before he died. 'Bites'. I never knew what that meant."
Everyone got up, and gave Bowser hugs, and pats on the non-spiky part of his back.
Dr. Matthias looked at Anidu. "C'mon sis. We've got research to do."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later that night, around 11 P.M in the tree house.
Nana was pacing. She couldn't believe what she had heard.
The boys were just sitting, staring, and pretty much bummed out.
"I can't believe Pichu's gonna die!"
Nana stopped in her pacing. "Linky! How could you say that?"
"Nana, Linky's right." Popo sighed. "Dr. Matthias told us there wasn't a cure, and Bowser's dead son is proof!"
Ness kicked his yo-yo. "We'd better get to bed. It's getting late."
All four of them went into their respective rooms, and fell asleep.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The entire mansion was asleep, in exception for Anidu, Dr. Matthias, and DK. They all were in the 3rd floor laboratory. Since lunch, they've been working non-stop looking for the cure.
Anidu threw down her papers in frustration. "Man! I've been in school for longer that you bro, and I can't figure this out!"
Dr. Matthias took a sip from his 8th can of soda. "I know. I haven't seen anything like it!"
DK, in a white lab coat, suddenly yelled in surprise.
"What? Did you find something good?" Dr. Matthias and Anidu walked over to DK's computer.
"I did find something! It's better than good!" DK turned his computer around. "I found out that in ancient Greece, the disease was most common! The ancient Greeks found a cure, mixing 5 main ingredients: Leaves from an apple tree, the skin of Lemons, the seeds of a papaya tree, The bark of a banana tree…"
Anidu waited. "And? What's the last ingredient?"
Dk sighed. "It doesn't say. It says that no-one ever recorded the last ingredient."
Dr. Matthias rubbed his eyes. "Well, it's a start." He looked at the clock, and cursed. "CRAP!"
Anidu looked also. "Oh no!"
DK looked at his watch. "Oh My…."
They all raced out of the room. The clock read Midnight.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
In the containment unit
Pichu was doubled up in pain. Dr. Mario, Mario, and Luigi all stood rigid, their skin turning to white, then ghostly green.
As time passed on, Pichu's fur grew shaggy, his teeth and claws grew larger than before, and he grew slightly larger. He had transformed into the viral menace of the Type Z Pica. Pichu roared in anger, and destroyed the door. He and his Pica victims wandered out into the hallway, just when Fox and Falco were walking out of their bedroom.
"I told you that 5 slices wasn't …AHH!"
Fox grabbed Falco, and ran. Unfortunately for them, they weren't quick enough. Pichu's zombie slaves held them down, and Pichu walked closer and closer. His claws and teeth were inches from Fox's muzzle, when….
WHAM!
DK tackled Pichu away from all of them, and Dr. Matthias and Anidu both punched and kicked the zombies off of Fox and Falco.
"RUN! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD RUN!" Dk yelled as Pichu bit into his face.
Anidu, Dr. Matthias, Fox, and Falco all ran down the hall. As they passed the Pokemon room, they heard a scream, and Pikachu ran out.
"Jigglypuff! Mewtwo! ZOMBIES!"
And on cue, both Jigglypuff and Mewtwo staggered out, both ghostly green and all zombified.
Now Anidu grabbed Pikachu, and all 5 of them ran down, opening doors and grabbing all the smashers they could.
Back in the tree house, Nana had awoken with a realization. "Bites! I know what it means!"
Nana looked out to the mansion. She saw red eyes peering through the window.
"Oh my god!" Nana ran to her door just as Pichu broke open the window. Nana threw open the door, and slammed it behind her. She could hear rabid snarls and growls behind it. She turned to go get the others, when she realized her horrible mistake.
She had run into her closet. She sank back to the back of her closet, horrified at the now splintering door that held her between safety and a horrible, horrible zombie that was once her best friend.
