The Shadow of a Stranger:Chapter 9: Bad news and a Closer Examination
"Daisy!" Peach gasped running towards Luigi, who carried Daisy.
"Is she okay?" Toadette asked.
"Yep, she just needs some sleep." Waluigi informed.
"We should take her back to the attic!" Junior suggested. "I wonder if Diddy, Dixie, and Birdo are okay?"
"YOU MEAN THEY'RE ALONE?" Toadette snapped.
"We-we-well, they weren't un-un-until the killer g-g-g-got DK." Junior stuttered.
"What do you mean?" Peach asked.
"The killer poisoned DK." Waluigi said.
"What?" Luigi and Mario asked.
"We were headed down stairs and we saw DK, at the bottom." Dry Bones said.
"Let's take a look." Mario suggested.
"Peach and the toad things should take hot head tomboy upstairs and check on pinkie and ape-o2-3!" Wario said.
"Do you have bad nicknames for all of us?" Junior asked.
"Why, ye-" Wario was cut off by Luigi.
"There's no time, let's get going!" Luigi said. Everyone nodded and headed towards the front room.
"Peach, Toad, and Toadette, take Daisy upstairs." Mario said.
"Aye, Aye, Sir!" Toad and Toadette said saluting. Peach picked Daisy up and put her on her back.
"Come on, Guys!" Peach ordered to Toad and Toadette. They nodded and followed Peach up the stairs.
As the three left, Mario looked around.
"There has to be some sort of clue!" Mario muttered.
Luigi, Waluigi, and Junior all looked at DK's corpse more thoroughly. Luigi noticed DK's hands.
"Banana Stew…" Luigi said.
"What?" Junior and Waluigi asked.
"That's the banana stew me and Special T. made." Luigi said.
"Special T.?" Junior asked.
"Peach's Cook. She was giving me cooking lessons." Luigi said.
"So you poisoned the stew!" Waluigi deducted.
"No!" Luigi said. "We followed the directions from the cook book exactly. It didn't say put as much poison possible in it."
"Well, did anything strange happen while you made it?" Junior asked.
"We didn't have a special spice so we improvised with a spice in the cabinet. Strangely enough, it didn't have a label."
"That must've been poison!" Waluigi said.
"So that explains the food on his hands and the vomit and blood on the floor." Junior said. "He must have thrown up on his trip back."
"Yeah but the bumps and bruises!" Luigi pointed out. "We don't know about those."
"Wait…" Waluigi thought looking back and forth between DK and the stairs. "The position… maybe the killer planned to kill DK after all…"
"But how?" Junior wondered.
"The poison could've weakened him and caused him to fall, thus the bruises…" Luigi said.
"That might be it!" Waluigi said. "But we need some clues!"
"I FOUND SOMETHING!" Dry Bones called out.
Everyone headed over to Dry Bones.
"I think it's a note book." Dry Bones said holding up a notepad.
Junior yanked it from Dry Bones grip. He opened it up and looked inside.
"Its just some stupid words." Junior said blankly. Luigi yanked the notebook from Junior and looked at it carefully.
"Maybe it's a clue." Luigi said. Waluigi then yanked the notebook from Luigi.
"They're all descpritive words." Waluigi pointed out before Mario yanked the notebook out of Waluigi's hands.
"Peachy, Wimpy, Sweet, Hot Head, Brave, Scared, Glutton, Liar, Lively, Conceited, Hyper, Calm, Strange, and Young. These words are all different! What could they have in common?"
Wario yanked the notebook out of Mario's hands. "At the bottom, there are some words that look erased." Wario said. "Destructive, Hungry, Old, and Kind…"
"I really don't get this!" Junior said folding his arms.
"If this was a clue, it wouldn't be very helpful." Dry Bones said.
Peach, Toad, and Toad looked up at the ladder that led to the attic.
"Now how are we going to do this?" Toad wondered.
"There has to be someone up there that could help." Toadette said.
"Yeah, lets check." Toad said climbing up the ladder. When Toad reached the top he pushed on the door but nothing happened. Then he knocked.
Inside the Attic, everyone heard the knocking. Yoshi got up and headed towards the door. As he reached the door he started hearing a voice.
"Guys… open… this… Toad!" Toad's muffled voice called.
Yoshi looked back at Birdo who ran over to him and helped him remove the weight that kept the door from opening. Yoshi pulled the handle up and was happy to see Toad's face.
"Toad!"
"Yoshi!"
Diddy and Dixie ran over to the door to see the others.
"We need some help!" Peach called out while nudging Daisy.
Yoshi nodded and climbed down half way and outstretched his arm. Peach nodded and tried to lift Daisy above her head. Yoshi grabbed her and Birdo, Diddy, Dixie, and Toad all pulled Yoshi up. Peach and Toadette climbed up the ladder and then Yoshi closed the door and put the weight down.
"So where is everyone?" Birdo asked.
"Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Junior, and Dry Bones are down stairs looking for clues." Peach said.
"Why?" Diddy asked.
"Because… some people… are gone…" Toadette said slowly.
"Like who?" Dixie asked.
"Toadsworth and Boo…" Toad said.
"Then where's DK?" Diddy and Dixie asked.
Toad and Toadette looked at Peach. Peach looked down at the floor. Birdo and Yoshi knew exactly what happened by then. Peach sighed and started.
"Guys… DK… is gone, too…" Peach said gloomily.
Tears appeared in Dixie's eyes. Diddy just stood there.
"It's not true!" Diddy said then ran to the door he pushed the weight off. Diddy opened the door and jolted downstairs.
"Diddy!" Dixie called following him.
"Come on!" Toadette said following the two. Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and Birdo raced after them.
Minutes later…
"DK!" Diddy yelled running down the stairs to DK's body. "NO! You're Not Dead! WAKE UP!"
Dixie ran down the steps next. She gasped at the sight of DK's corpse.
"Diddy! Dixie!" Toadette called out from the top of the stairs. The others rushed next to her. They all ran down the steps but halfway there someone slipped on a clue that everyone missed. They flipped over and started falling down the stairs. But one fatal hit on the head ended it all.
"Oh no!" Peach gasped.
"What happened?" Toad asked.
"No…" Toadette said.
"BIRDO!" Yoshi yelled running to his love. "NO! NOT YOU!"
The others reading the notebook ran straight over to them.
"Birdo…" Luigi's voice trailed off.
Dry Bones and Junior both gasped.
"Not again…" Waluigi said.
"Poor Yoshi…" Mario said.
"Pinkie…" Wario said slowly.
While everyone watched as Diddy, Dixie, and Yoshi mourned for their losses. Peach looked back on the steps and noticed the clue that they missed.
"A watch…" Peach said grabbing it. "With a banana on it."
Mario walked up the steps to Peach. "What'd you find?"
"A watch…" Peach said. Mario took it out of her hands (You wouldn't yank something from Peach, would you?) and examined it.
Mario looked on the back and noticed the letters 'DK' etched into the back.
"It's DK's!" Mario exclaimed.
Peach yanked the watch from Mario and opened it.
"Conceited." Peach said.
"What?" Mario asked.
"The watch, inside it says 'Conceited,'" Peach said.
Mario thought for a moment. "Wait!" Mario ran down the stairs and yanked the notebook from Wario hands. He opened it up and looked inside. The word Conceited had been erased!
Peach: They like to yank things out of people's hands.
Daisy: What about the notebook?
Dil: It's a clue but I'm not telling what it means.
Luigi: Let me guess, your going ask everyone to write a review and guess what it means?
Dil: …Correct…
Yoshi: May I update the list?
Dil: Yes Yoshi.
Yoshi: The current list is:
