Chapter 4: It Happened Before

As they entered the Water Department Headquarters, Mush couldn't help but look around in amazement. Workers nodded at them as they passed by, with transparent pipes and tanks all around full of rushing water. There was a certain room full of walruses in numerous tubs, which Mush stared at in confusion.

"That room is to test the perspiration of walruses in different environments," explained Jill. "But ignore that. Follow me." She led him to a staircase leading down to a huge room. There was an aquarium full of algae on one side of the large room, as Jill led him further to the other side of the room, to a place with storage tanks with different labels.

"This is where all the water from all the homes deposits," she explained. "We have certain flips for different homes." She pushed a remote, and the whole section of the wall slowly flipped horizontally, and revealed another set of tanks.

"Now displaying Mr. Admiral Bobbery's H2O home storage tanks," announced the speaker above it. Jill's face suddenly changed.

"I remember," she said sadly. "There was an incident a while ago, where Admiral Bobbery was being rushed by my phone calls because his water bills were overdue. He was rushing too much, and fell down the stairs. The news people said he crashed into a cabinet, which had his razor on top of it. It cut through his eye, and I believe it was my fault he had died.

Mush suddenly looked up. "Razor cut into his eye?" he asked.

"I know, it sounds dreadful," she said.

"No, that's not the reason," said Mush. He decided to open the notebook he was holding, and skipped a few pages to the first photograph. There was a picture of Admiral Bobbery on the ground, with a sunk right beneath his eye.

"Oh my," gasped Jill. "Wait, we need to start from the beginning. What on earth is this book?"

"I don't know, but it belongs to Peach Toadstool," he said. There were sections in the book with numerous names on them. They started looking at the section called Bobbery,

"This is all about Bobbery's death," whispered Jill in confusion. "Look, there's a section called signs. It says that I was referred to the poetry song "Jack and Jill", and the song playing on his radio was "Tumbling Down?" What is this?"

Mush flipped to the front page, which had an intro section.

Dear Journal, or somebody reading this,

This book is a record of all the incidents, deaths, and confusion still left in me from all the deaths. If you are reading this, you may want to put this away. It shows some disturbing pictures of my friends, whom have been victim to death, and the extra info I have known so far about their odd fates.

The Dolansa Infinite T was created by Professor Elvin Gadd, a machine to revive my friends who were killed by the killer, Koops, in Rogueport. You will know about this from my other journal. What I believe is that it disrupted the designs of death, possible angering death. My friends started to die in the order of the following photograph.

Mush and Jill looked at the photograph for a moment showing the ten people next to each other, and continued reading.

Death wanted to claim them all, from the order that is described in my notebook. They were already on the list, and reviving and escaping from death is not possible. People can intervene death, and the person who had dodged death would be skipped. But death always comes back to you, no matter what. There are different sections in this journal of mine, and the first section, after this page, is Deaths.

Mush and Jill looked at each other.

"Death? Is that what killed E. Gadd?" asked Mush. "I think we should throw away the photographs. Bobbery's picture was pretty graphic, and I believe the others are more graphic than his."

"I believe you're right," agreed Jill, and they both closed their eyes and flipped through the pages, feeling for the pictures and tearing them out. Once they pulled all the pictures out and put them in a small bag container, they flipped back to Bobbery's death section.

"Hey look," pointed out Jill. "Peach wrote about a person calling him named Jill! That's me, and she says that I was the part of causing the death."

They flipped to a section, Yoshi, and read it.

"That's such a horrible death," said Mush. "Signs: a scroll depicting a cooking pond, and Daisy had ordered sake sushi, which is salmon. This is freaking me out a bit." He turned the page and sighed. The section was Jolene.

"Mush, is something wrong?" Jill asked, looking at the saddened face of Mush. Mush just looked at the page, as they both read it.

"She's was my sister," said Mush. "Now I know exaclty what had happened to my sister, after all these days of not knowing But I knew she had died." There was an awkward silenece, until Jill spoke out.

"In this section," said Mush. "It tells that Mario intervened, and was moved to the end

"Look over here," said Jill. "It says that Jolene's brother, you, was calling her on her cell phone. The phone vibrated into the fire in a bathroom, causing an explosion which surprised your sister and she jumped into the…paper cutter behind her."

Mush looked up. "Does that mean I was the one who killed her?" he said guiltily. "I didn't mean to. I never knew it would happen."

"It wasn't your fault, death used you in a way to kill her, which seems awful," said Jill comfortingly. "After reading about these three deaths, I now know something." She flipped the switch for the wall, and it turned to show the numerous water tanks for E. Gadd's laboratory.

"Now displaying Professor Elvin Gadd's labratory H2O storage tanks," the machine spoke. Jill went to a storage tank labeled "Basement Bathroom" and opened the container, revealing a huge amount of water along with a certain liquid.

"See this tank?" said Jill. "This is all the water that had come from the basement bathroom of E. Gad''s laboratory, just last night. Look at how much water is in it. At the scene of E. Gadd's death in the basement bathroom, there was hardly any water at all."

"That's odd," agreed Mush, looking at the water. "But what does that mean, and what is that stuff mixed with the water?"

"Bleach," pointed out Jill. "I have a feeling that E. Gadd didn't commit suicide. It was an accident."

"Accident?" asked Mush. "Do you mean that he didn't commit suicide?"

"Let's move on," insisted Jill.

They skimmed through the book slowly. They read about Pennington's awful death, and how Lakister the director was mentioned. They then read about Ms. Mows' death, including a small noki which had hit her with a shopping cart, which had caused her death.

"That has to be Sophie, the scared noki who survived the blimp explosion with us," noticed Mush. "We were the ones who caused the deaths. It isn't a coincidence."

"Let's read on," Jill said. They read on about Mario's death, and then all the interventions that occurred. They learned about Koops and his evilness, and the following deaths afterwards, including Luigi and Koops. They then read about the part of the magazine scrap, which was taped into the journal. It said, "3 live long, there way to a new destiny, as they escaped their fates forever…"

"Look at this section, Signs," said Mush.

Signs

There are signs that appear related to the deaths and before the deaths occur, some of which are difficult to see, and some of which are obvious and clear. Seeing the signs will help you intervene a death of another, and skip the fate. Signs such as what people say, or different shadows, or things suddenly moving, etc. Watch out for them, as they can appear to anybody.

"I saw the sign, where the bleach and ashes spelled his initials. The initials and the bleach were signs about his death," realized Mush.

"At my laboratory," said Jill, "A can of dust-off fell and sprayed his initials against a panel of glass. The dust-off, according to the police, was found sprayed all over inside his mouth. Other signs." They flipped the page, to another section.

Intervening

Intervening is to prevent a death designed for someone. They could be seen by specific signs, or just at the last second of saving. The person is able to intervene their own death. If you are intervened, you are only moved to the end of the list. However, there are times where it seems like you have intervened, but you did not. You can only intervene when you are next to die on the list. Intervening someone's death may not be the best choice, for the person's later death can be more violent and at the wrong occasion. But intervening seems like the only choice to make, so look at signs.

Mush and Jill flipped the page.

At The End

What I believe is that the last three may live. After Koops had died, the magazine scrap flew towards us, saying 3 lives will forever live and escaped their fates. It has been three months now, and I believe I am correct. But now I still feel it's not over. Death wants to kill more, and give people premonitions. Premonitions are visions of things that are soon to happen. The next set of survivors, according to the signs I later on saw, will have someone have a premonition of an accident with an air-device. S/He would manage to pull people off, and the air-device would have the accident.

"That's you Mush," said Jill in wonder. "You pulled us from the blimp, and saved us."

But it would be worse, and the people would become in my predicament. They would start to die in a certain order in freak accidents and gruesome ways that are mostly unthinkable. So, if you happen to be the guy/girl who warned the people off the air-device, you have to watch out for things and save the others. Only three can live.

"Gosh, this stinks," sighed Mush. "Could this really be true?" He turned the other pages, only to find a small diary of the days following. The end of the journal was on the day a year later, and the final diary entry was written on a loose-leaf paper.

March 28

Another new day, and something is bothering me. As I was about to go to sleep last night, I saw a shadow. A miniature shadow of a train suddenly moved across my ceiling. Being too tired, I didn't know if it really was what I saw. Just this morning, I thought my clock said 6: 66. Are these signs? I'm going on a train ride to Poshley Heights at around 9 o'clock, and the shadow of the train may be something. I just hope DK and Daisy are doing fine, wherever they are. And once again, a new and fresh day of cheating death.

Peach Toadstool

"Oh my gosh," whispered Jill, and she pulled out a newspaper she received that morning. It showed a picture of the front section of the train, derailed and over a quarter of a mile from the train explosions. It was near the place where the burning blimp landed.

"It's too long to read," explained Jill. "So I'll summarize it. The front section of the train, which got disconnected from the rest of the train, had Peach, DK, and Daisy in it. And then DK had been found run over a distance before, and Daisy's body had been found smashed against a rock after DK, and it is said that Peach survived when the lone section finally derailed. But she was too weak to move quickly, and the burning blimp landed on her. This means that she was wrong about three people surviving. You can't cheat it, and you would die no matter what."

They both just stood there, a bit dazed from all the reading. Mush finally spoke.

"You want to go to the Pizza Palace?" asked Mush. "Frank just got a new job there." They both agreed and started to walk there, still thinking about the journal. Death was approaching its next victim soon.

When I return, I hope I see reviews! Thanks, please review everyone!
