Something happened that I couldn't log into my account for two days, so I decided to revise this chapter completely and change it completely. So please enjoy!

Chapter 11: Pipe Smash

"Jill!" shouted Mush, not knowing if the flames had already engulfed her. Peach picked up a fire extinguisher, but to her dismay only spurts of gas sprayed out, not enough to stop the ring.

At the sign of ultimate luck, Mush saw Parakarry half-walking and half-flying down the spirally stairs, and was confused to see the raging fire in the laboratory.

"Parakarry!" shouted Mush. "Save Jill! She's in the middle of the fire!"

Parakarry, alarmed and panicked, looked around the smoked room and thought of what to do. He got a long rope on the floor besides him and tied the end as a circle grip, and then flew into the air, trying to see Jill within the smokes and fire. He saw her, with the flames only inches away from her and flickering at her sides.

"Grab onto the rope!" commanded Parakarry, letting the rope dangle below him. Jill struggled to grab on to the rope, but it wasn't low enough for Jill to grab.

"I can't reach it!" she cried, as a shot of flame appeared next to her and burnt her, knocking her to the ground below her. Parakarry lowered himself closer to the fire, trying to not get singed by the flames and lowered the rope even more. Jill was able to reach it then, but the flames around her suddenly raised like a sudden add of gasoline, scorching Parakarry and knocking him onto the ground. Mush, Frank, and Peach could do nothing but watch as the fire alarms rang out within the place.

Parakarry looked at the large algae aquarium at the other end of the wall, and knew how to stop the fire. With all his force, he flew into the air and dove right into the large wall of glass. At first, it seemed as if it was futile, but Death's plan was a bit ruined as hundreds of gallons of water poured into the room, swallowing up the fire and the people. Peach was reminded of the time of Yoshi's death, when they had opened the vault to discover a stream of water and the body of Yoshi to float out.

The water washed away the flames and the people within, making Jill safe and out of Death's danger. Frank got up from the settled water and frantically started to look everywhere for his smoke pipe. The water was about two feet high, and Mush rose from the water to see Frank's pipe right in front of him, floating slightly on the surface.

Jill ran over to Parakarry lying on the watery ground, and was over grateful to be alive after Death had nearly killed her.

"Thank you a lot, Parakarry," Jill said, giving him a hug. "You saved me from Death."

"What could I do?" said Parakarry. "I can't just leave a person about to die in a middle of the fire. It's a shame that the aquarium is ruined however." He lay in the water, exhausted. Jill suddenly looked around her, and at the destroyed laboratory which was not burnt and soaked. "What would the investigators and town officials say?" she thought

Mush's past vision suddenly appeared to him, but much more detailed.

Jill opened up her notebook as she was about to drop to her death from the blimp, and a small air-bag suddenly inflated from the inside of the book, making her falling speed much slower, but fast enough to be dead when hitting the ground. Mush saw himself falling in the air, and hitting the ground before Jill.

"Mush, what's happening? What did you just see?" asked Peach, shaking him from his vision. "I could tell you were having another vision."

"I saw Jill hitting the ground before me," explained Mush. "When we were falling out of the blimp, I died first. This means that I'm not next, which explains why I almost died at the church from the metal gate! I've had the messed up list this whole time, and now it matters."

"Then who's next?" asked Peach, looking at the others cautiously. Mush tried thinking of the list, and quickly made a small list in his head.

Parakarry

Father

Frank

Mush

Jill

"Parakarry, you're next!" shouted Mush. Frank's pipe in front of him suddenly let out a large puff of smoke, and Mush's eyes widened in terror as he saw the smoke form the shape of a grinning skull, and then disappeared.

Just as Mush yelled out what he had just realized, the screen of the scanner printer let out a shock of jolt, which exploded the fire extinguisher besides it. It blew a curved piece of the water pipe soaring into the air and across the room

Parakarry didn't have the chance to get out of the way, and the heavy metal pipe smashed into his face, spewing blood all over Jill. Jill shrieked in repulsion and shock, and she fell backwards into the water in horror. The others, a distance away from the scene, were as horrified as Jill, and saw that Parakarry's hand was still moving in awkward twitches, until he stopped moving, the pipe crushed into his face in a bloody mess. Death had taken his victim in a cruel and ugly way.

"He's dead!" cried Jill, trying to find a living pulse. Mush just stood where he was, guilty in not being able to save him, as Frank was too scared and too surprised to talk. Jill suddenly noticed a hanging light from the ceiling, only hanging from a single wire which was tearing by the second.

"Get out of here, now," said Jill hurriedly, pointing to the hanging light. "It'll shock the entire ground water." The four of them struggled to make their way out of the basement in the water before the water would be electrocuted. Frank tripped into the water with a splash, but managed to stand up. His foot was stuck under a cabinet handle

"Help, I can't move!" he cried, trying to free his shoe. Mush immediately went back to help Frank, as Jill and Peach made their way to safety on the flight of swirling stairs.

"Hurry up!" yelled Jill. "The light will shock the water!" Mush ripped Frank's shoe off the handle and tore it off in a swift movement, making him able to move. Frank was now free, but both of them had to make it to safety in time, as a chair was blocking Mush's way in evacuating the place. Mush and Frank went as fast as they could to their way to the stairs in a hurry, but knew it would be impossible to make it in time. Mush spotted rubber tires lightly floating besides them.

"The rubber tires," thought Mush, seeing the rubber tires floating on the surface. "Get on them!" shouted Mush to Frank, and they both climbed onto the tires just as the light from above fell into the water, shocking the whole place. Jolts filled the air, and the lights were shut off from the over-electrocution. They were in complete darkness, floating in the middle of the deadly water (the water was only two feet high). Nobody could see.

"Jill! Peach! Are you guys still there?" shouted Mush through the pitch darkness. At first, he heard no answer, but the lights suddenly flashed on again. Jill had managed to fix the lights.

"The water is still dangerous, I can see that it's jolting," said Jill. Suddenly, a piece of the water pipe broke off, causing more water to enter into the room. Peach and Jill had to climb higher on the spiraling stairs, as the room started to jolt even more as the level of the water increased by the feet. Mush and Frank made sure not to lose their balance and topple off their tires, as the water had finally reached ten feet high.

"We're going to die!" yelled Frank, as shocks jolted the base of their tires. The lights started to dim, and Peach accidentally dropped her phone into the water, making the water shock even more.

"Just stay calm, and we'll be able to save you," Jill said, trying to find a way to get them closer to safety. But Peach and Jill saw something deep within the water below Frank's tire, slowly rising to the surface. A chair was gradually rising to the surface of the water, and Peach knew exactly what Death was planning.

"Frank, move your tire away!" commanded Peach. "A chair is going to topple you over into the water!"

"Shit, I don't believe in all this death design crap!" he hollered frightened, trying to sustain his balance on the floating tire.

"But my father is before him!" remembered Mush. "Frank isn't supposed to die yet!"

"Then something is messed up right now, but if you want to save your best friend you'll have to move him away from his current position," Peach told him.

The chair was slowly rising to the surface, right below Frank.

"Mush, hit him away with the other tires!" said Peach. Mush grasped a tire on the surface and pushed it gently towards Frank, but didn't manage to move him.

"The fucking chair is rising!" yelled Frank, and he could see beneath the water that it was directly below him. "I don't want to be electrocuted!"

The jolts on the water were still continuing, and Mush nearly got shocked when his hand slipped on the rubber tire and nearly touched the water. But he pushed another tire across the surface to Frank, and managed to push Frank's tire away just as the chair reached the surface. Frank was too scared to move from his tire, and he looked besides him at the chair which almost caused his death, floating peacefully on the water besides him. He was skipped once again.

"I win! The stupid chair was nonsense, and it wasn't going to kill me anyway! Death doesn't exist! It was just a stupid chair, more or less," laughed Frank. Nobody listened to his nonsense.

Jill and Peach ended up calling the police to rescue Mush and Frank in the middle of the deadly water. The police were now over-suspicious that the people killed in the past days had been the survivors of the blimp accident, and decided to take all of them into a secret interview separately. Mush was brought to the police station that night, and hoped the police would buy his strange tale, although the chances were slim.

"So," started the police officer. "What is your name?"

"Mush Rumberg."

Police Officer: "Do you know the reason you were brought here?"

Mush: "Did I do anything wrong? It's not my fault people are dying."

Police Officer: "Then how could the coincidence be, that everyone who was pulled of the blimp with you, are dying? We feel that you may be causing this."

Mush: "I can't be. For instance, Lakister's death included a stop sign being hit by a truck, which flipped a manhole cover into the air and killed him. I find that as a freak accident, not a plan of killing."

Police Officer: "Perhaps you told the bus driver to do what you wanted. Maybe he worked for you."

Mush: (pause) You… you got me all wrong! None of this is my fault! It's Death's fault.

Police Officer: "What do you mean?"

Mush explained the whole thing from the start, of Death trying to capture them all once again, but he never mentioned anything of Princes Peach being alive. He was allowed to leave the station after an hour of interviewing, and he could tell the police were still suspicious over him. He met up with Jill later on the next day, and could tell by her face that she was upset.

"Stay away from me," she snapped suddenly, startling Mush. He had never seen Jill so upset before.

"Just tell me what happened," said Mush. "I won't tell anybody, or do anything."

"After the basement of my laboratory got ruined from all the electrocution and fire, the town officials are remodeling it," she said, still mad.

"Is there something wrong with that?"

"I lost my job!" she exclaimed in fury. "I no longer have business in the water laboratory, and now my hopes for the future are ruined because of you."

"Because of me?" asked Mush, gradually getting madder. "How was it my fault?

"You pulled us away from the blimp, and now this happens!" she said. "I am being sued by Parakarry's relatives, because he died in my laboratory which I no longer own! I lost my planned future!" She threw her notebook at Mush's face and walked off in rage, not bothering to look back at the confused and hurt person behind her.

"Jill!" he tried calling, but she ran off, crying to herself of what she had just done. Mush was left alone on the sidewalk, hating Death with all his anger.

"I will beat you, Death," he said to himself. "You can't win anymore, we will find the design."

Thank you for reading! Parakarry finally met his fate in this chapter, for those people who didn't know it was coming. Please review everyone, if you think it's well done so far, or if you have suggestions on some things, like non-specific deaths and stuff. I'll update soon!
