Life After Death
Chapter 6: The Battle
Luigi and Mario managed to reach the castle doors. The highest tower was where Kate was being held, and to fall down that roof, would be instant death. So Mario decided that they would each watch each others backs. Luigi slowly approached the door, shaking in fear, he twisted the door knob, only to find out that the door was locked. "Is there any other way in?" Mario asked Daisy. "Ye be lucky to find one. The one that stands alone in no harm or despair." She replied. "I hate it when she gives those confusing answers!" Luigi whispered into Mario's ear. "We have to trust her, remember she too, used to be a hostage at this place." Mario replied back to Luigi. They all took seperate ways to finding their way in. Luigi took the left, although the only door he had seen was the locked door. The area around the castle was nothing but a lava moat. Daisy took the right, only to come across her own prison cell which she picked at for years with her nails, marking the days. She cringed at the memory. Mario left Luigi and Daisy to see if there was a short cut to a secret passage that would get them in.
Kate had been at the castle for over three weeks. She was thinner than she used to be from lack of food. Her hair was still light blonde yet for some reason it started turning an even brighter, yellower colour. She laid on the floor wondering how much longer it would take to escape. The last time she did escape, but somehow Bowser had fast speed. She had to figure out how she would be able to out run him. Since when did she want this to happen. She didn't want to be there. "I'm Gonna Fight For My Right!!!" She yelled and once again, decided to go out the window.
Luigi was kept going around but he couldn't find a door. "I feel like I'm walking in a circle." Daisy came from the right and replied "that's because ye are.." in a calm expression. "Damn!" was all he said.
Mario walked through the same bushes he had spotted Kate in. Perhaps this was a clue to where a secret passage. Mario turned the corner when he heard a woman's voice. "Why...why did you...how could you... you betrayed me and everyone else. You let me die... and in your own hands!" Mario looked around analyzing the bush. He looked all around to see who was calling him. "You killed me! you let me die and suffer my own demise!" Mario looked behind his back. "Kate, is that you?" Mario asked. "Don't portray me as that insecure wench. You kill the person who you can't even remember!" An identical woman to Kate walked out and reveled herself. "Kate it is you!" Mario yelled with glee and ran to her. "What, NO you fool, I am the Princess Peach. I am back to seek revenge upon the man who killed me! I am also here to avenge my sisters Death!!!!" Peach roared in anger. "But Daisy is not dead! She is alive! I can prove it!" Mario pleaded. "Nonsense, my sister died the same day I parished! Now if you want to live, you will stop this pointless search of the wench, and join me in the after life!" Peach replied in words of hatred. Daisy came running to Mario's aid. "So I see ye met eachother. Peach, I have not parished. My soul may be gone but my spirit still lives within me!" "So it looks you weren't lying after all! Well if Daisy is still alive, then I assume Bowser is dead. You had over 80 years, or were you slow in the process...making deals with your little turtle friends? How's the reptile these days?" Peach said in a hinge of anger. "Now Daisy, ye must understand, this is a reincar...." Daisy was interrupted by her sister. "If you are my sister, you will not take the side of an outsider! Got that!" Peach replied angrily. "One of these days, every one here will be dead, and you and Bowser will be standing on top of a mountain, with your horrifying victory. Then everyone you love shall parish!" With that Peach left Daisy and Mario in Peach. "She will return so ye better be ready for it!" Daisy replied.
"So close, almost there! GOT IT!" Kate shouted. "whoops that was a bit to loud." Kate had finally reached the window and was on her way to freedom. Kate slowly climbed down the window and met Luigi for the first time. "Hello my name is Kate." She introduced herself. "Well that was easy! I can't wait to tell Mario that you're okay!" Luigi replied. "Nobody is telling anyone nothing!!!!" A strong voice from above shouted. "Oh no! Luigi Run!!" Kate took him by the hand and headed for the bushes once again. "Bowser followed them, but then he lost sight of them. As Bowser turned around he noticed Daisy and Mario. He slowly approached them and was hoping to ambush them. "Times haven't changed much, still hanging out with the brunnette?" Bowser laughed. "Not you again!" Mario sighed. Daisy stayed in the backround to give Mario space to fight. "Now tell me... Mario, where did your little brother and the girlfriend go? Or should I hunt them both down!" Bowser replied in the scariest tone imaginable. Mario didn't exactly like how he said 'hunt'. As if he was either just going to find them both, or kill them both. Mario became very angry and through a punch at Bowser. Mario's punch bounced right off of the Koopa Kings shell. "You have gotten weaker over the years... time to finish you off....."
