Random Person: Sorry for the late response, but you can find my favorite Sonic characters listed on my profile page.
"You want an explanation for how this stealing incident occurred? Ah, you must not know of how our water system here works then. The water in this place is actually breathable to anybody in the world, and you can actually walk perfectly on the ground while submerged under the water and do all the other normal things a regular person can do, too. It's just THAT good. You jealous?" The judge taunted.
"What kind of judge says something like 'You jealous'? That's like, obnoxious teenager vocabulary right there. But either way, we appreciate the explanation and I can see how it all works now." Birdo said.
"But, wait a second, that explanation makes no sense at all! Mario wasn't able to breathe properly in Super Mario 64 when he came to this place, and he couldn't walk on the ground when he was underwater, either! YOU'RE A BIG, FAT PHONY!" Toad exclaimed.
"Excuse me sir, but unless you want another cereal box to be thrown at your abnormally-large head, I suggest you zip it." The judge demanded.
"Do you think you can you throw it anyways? Those boxes are soooooooo delicious!" Yoshi cheered.
"Uhh, HELLO!? Are you people forgetting about the fact that I still have this gem inside of me? We still need to find a way to get it out of me so I can go back to looking my sexy self!" The purple Yoshi complained.
"Sexy self? Ha! Since when are Yoshis considered 'sexy'? Especially since when all of them look the same? That's like saying Toadney Spears has an amazing singing voice!" Waluigi laughed.
"Hey, don't be hating on the Goddess of Pop you jerk! She revolutionized pop music, and you will deal!" Peach spat.
"I still think we should use a chainsaw..." Fire Bro muttered, but everyone heard him clearly.
"NO!" They all yelled.
"But how the hell are we suppose to get the gem out of him, exactly? He can't 'pop' it out of him for whatever reason, and using certain weapons on him is NOT a good idea. This is definitely a mystery..." Daisy said as she rubbed her chin.
"Oh, I wouldn't need to worry about THAT, my friends!" Echoed a familiar voice that came from somewhere.
"Huh? Who was that?" Dixie asked as she and everyone else looked around to see where the voice was coming from.
Suddenly, a jester-looking fellow appeared in a flash of bright light.
"Why, it was me of course! Master of dimensions, pleaser of crowds, I am...DIMENTIO!" The jester proudly announced. Everyone seemed a bit freaked out.
"Dimentio? That's a dumb name! Did you ever get bullied in school because of that ridiculous name? I'm sure you did. I'm secretly a mind reader, don't you know?" Fire Bro obviously lied, yet again.
"Ugh, IT'S YOU! What could you possibly want?" Daisy asked in anger.
"Well, I'll keep it short and simple. Tatanga has overheard everything that little Merlon had told you guys yesterday. Oh, you know, about how you need these 9 gems in order to get this Star Rod so you can defeat Tatanga and blah blah blah. Well, of course, we weren't just going to let you retrieve those gems just like that, oh no no no! I'm here to put a little stop to your RPG/Platformer journey and get the gem myself, bring it back to Tatanga, and see if there's some kind of use to it." Dimentio explained, which put the heroes in shock.
"Wait a second, how the hell could Tatanga overhear what Merlon told us, though?" Daisy asked.
"That's a secret that shall never be told! Now, if you'll excuse me, I shall be taking this gem out of this obese Yoshi's body, by using magic of course!" Dimentio snickered.
"Okay, we get it! I'M OBESE! CAN EVERYONE JUST STOP POINTING OUT THE FREAKING OBVIOUS ALREADY AND GET THIS MOTHER FUDGING GEM OUT OF ME!?" The purple Yoshi screamed.
"So, Dimentio...you're back to your evil ways, I see..." Count Bleck spoke. Dimentio turned to him.
"Oh! Count Bleck! What a pleasant surprise to see you here, out of all the places in the universe! Still being depressed over Timpani? I heard that you almost jumped off a bridge because you missed her oh so much. Maybe it would've been the best for you, considering there's not much you can live for now." Dimentio insulted the Count with a demeaning laugh. Count Bleck gave him an evil glare as he clenched his fists.
Rosalina stomped her foot on the ground. "Okay, that's just about enough! Now, you either get out of here with your cockiness still intact, or you'll have to fight us to the death!"
"Wow. Way to give it to him good!" Dixie complimented and gave her a thumbs up.
"A fight to the death, huh? Sounds like my kind of game! Alright then kiddies, let's settle this quickly because I promised Tatanga I wouldn't take too long!" Dimentio said as he began charging up his magic power.
"ACTIVATE TURN BASED BATTLE MODE!" DK yelled.
But nothing happened.
"What? Why didn't it work!? This would be so much easier instead of fighting the generic way!" DK freaked out.
"Maybe you're only allowed to use it once? There is, like, only so much that the video game universe can offer you, you know." Goombella pointed.
"Hmm, you're right. Time for Plan B!" DK said. He then grabbed Toadette and launched her in the air, towards Dimentio. However, his aim was completely off and she hit the ceiling instead.
"HA! Is that the best you can do? How pathetic!" Dimentio laughed.
"DK, what the hell was that!? You can't just throw people at the enemy, that's completely senseless!" Waluigi yelled.
"Well, to win a battle, maybe you DO have to be senseless! FLY WALUIGI, FLY!" DK yelled as he grabbed Waluigi and threw him up in the air as well. The skinny man was screaming for his life as he hit the wall.
Dimentio laughed even harder. "Is this really the best you can do? You guys are complete jokes!"
"Um, IS that the best we can do?" Daisy whispered to DK. The ape shrugged in return.
Fire Bro hopped on to Yoshi. "Come on, my trusty steed! Use your flutter jump and attack the ugly clown guy!"
"I AM NOT A CLOWN, I AM A JESTER! THERE IS A DIFFERENCE!" Dimentio screamed and unleashed his magic attack. Everyone scrambled to get out of the way, but unfortunately, Toad was too slow and the blast hit him. Everyone looked back and saw that Toad was frozen in an ice block.
Everyone else gasped at the sight, while Dimentio just laughed again.
"YOU BASTARD! YOU'RE GOING TO WISH YOU NEVER DID THAT!" Daisy screamed.
Toadette rubbed her head in pain after getting up from hitting the wall. As soon as she saw that Toad was frozen, she screamed. "T-TOAD!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! THAT IS IT! DK, GRAB ME AND THROW ME AT THIS JOKER AND DO NOT MISS THIS TIME!" The mushroom girl angrily demanded.
"Bahahahaha! This is truly entertaining! Do you really think that a puny girl like yourself could beat the indestructible Dimentio? You surely can't be serious!" Dimentio laughed once again.
DK ran over to Toadette and grabbed her shoulders. He aimed her at the jester as best as he could and tossed her at him. She successfully hit Dimentio by kicking him square in the face. Everyone else in the room cheered.
"YEAH! YOU GO TOADETTE! KICK THAT LOSER'S ASS! BEAT HIM TO A PULP! SMASH HIS HEAD OPEN! BITE YOUR INDEX FINGER! STICK OUT YOUR TONGUE! WAVE YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR LIKE YOU JUST DON'T CARE! IF YOU HEAR ME, HOLLA!" Dixie wildly cheered.
"Will you stop screaming out random sentences? That isn't helping the situation here!" Birdo yelled.
"Yowch! Alright then, you may have managed to hurt me, but that isn't going to be enough! Let's see you dodge THIS!" Dimentio said as he charged another magic attack that was bigger than the one before.
"GO YOSHI! USE FLUTTER JUMP!" Fire Bro commanded. Yoshi started running, and then he did his infamous flutter jump move. He got up to where Dimentio was and kicked Dimentio in the face just like Toadette did, which made him accidentally unleash his magic attack. The magic blast directed itself towards Peach and hit her.
"OH NO! PEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH!" Daisy cried.
"Hahahahaha! You may be achieving some success in hurting me, but I still overpower you all!"
Peach managed to get herself up surprisingly. "Hey...you guys! I'm alright! I'm alive! Hallelujah!" She cheered but then realized everyone else gave her a disgusted look and some turned their faces away from her. "Um, what's going on?"
Luigi covered his eyes with his hands. "P-Peach? Um...your clothes...they disintegrated..."
Peach gasped and looked down to find that she was completely naked. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! SOMEONE, FIND SOMETHING TO COVER ME UP RIGHT NOW! NONE OF YOU LOOK AT ME!"
"Ew! Girly parts!" Fire Bro shrieked.
Waluigi, however, couldn't keep his eyes off of her and started drooling at the mouth. "Wooooow...I never knew Peach had such big bo-"
SMACK!
"Dude, did you not just hear her a second ago? Don't look!" Dixie said. Meanwhile, Daisy tore off a curtain from one of the windows and used it to cover up Peach.
"Okay, enough playing around! How about some flames?" Dimentio said as he unleashed a wave of small flames throughout the entire room.
"Oh no! I'm allergic to fire! DAISY, SAVE ME!" Luigi screamed as he jumped into Daisy's arms again.
"Come on Luigi! Quit acting like a coward and save yourself for once!" Daisy yelled and dropped him right onto a flame. Luigi screamed for his life and started running around the entire room as his pants caught on fire, and eventually ran outside.
"...Oops...that wasn't suppose to happen..." Daisy said in embarrassment.
"Wow! That flame looks like a cookie! I want to eat it!" Fire Bro cheered and got off Yoshi. He ran to the flame and swallowed it whole, somehow.
"Fire Bro, what did you just do!? You're going to kill yourself!" Yoshi shrieked in fear.
Suddenly, Fire Bro's entire head turned red and he started releasing a bunch of flames that shot out everywhere as he screamed and ran all over the place. One of the flames hit Dimentio, which made him even more pissed off. Another flame hit Toad's icicle, which melted it completely.
"Ooooh...hey! I'm no longer frozen! Praise the Gods of Hyrule!" Toad cheered. Toadette ran up to Toad and hugged him in joy.
Meanwhile, Luigi walked back into the court room. "Hey, you guys! I'm no longer on fire! You see, there was this huge puddle outside so I sat my-"
BOOM!
Another flame hit Luigi, which made him scream for his life, again, and run outside...again.
"Birdo, get out of the way!" Dixie screamed as she shoved Birdo away from the incoming flame that was coming towards them. The flame caught on to Dixie's pink cap and the monkey girl shrieked as she took it off and stepped on it repeatedly to douse the flames.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Cocky little freaks! That is it, no more playing around! I'm going to unleash my most deadly magic attack yet!" Dimentio threatened. But before he could charge up, he was suddenly hit in the back by a blast of dark magic. He groaned in pain and slowly turned around to see that it was Count Bleck who did it.
"Ahhhh...Count Bleck. No surprise to see you helping out these worthless beings." Dimentio said.
"I'm done playing with the evil side, Dimentio. You should know that by now." Bleck replied.
"Hmph. Typical Bleck, always playing on the safe side. Tell me, how does it feel to make this huge plan of destroying every single dimension, only to fail at the hands of my wit? It must be depressing doing all that hard work for nothing, right?" Dimentio teased.
"I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Dimentio, you know, considering the heroes actually defeated you before you could even do anything! You were completely outsmarted, just be a man and admit it already." Bleck said with rage in his eyes.
"Outsmarted? Ha ha ha! Let's not kid ourselves, I was simply caught off guard by how powerful they were. I didn't expect for them to have such strength, that's all. Quit trying to belittle me already, your prime is over!" Dimentio yelled and blasted a wave of magic at Bleck, but Bleck countered it with a wave of magic of his own. The two were struggling to overpower the other's magic wave.
"Man, I really wish I had my camera with me. I would SO become popular if I filmed this and uploaded it onto YouTube. Imagine all the likes and comments I would get, I would finally be praised for once in my life!" Fire Bro said in hope.
"Guys! What are we going to do? Bleck is going to be destroyed if we let Dimentio attack him!" Rosalina said.
DK snapped his fingers. "I've got an idea. Yoshi, let me hop on your back!" Yoshi hesitantly nodded and DK jumped onto the dino's back. "Now, I'm going to need you to jump as high as you can, okay?"
"No offense DK, but you weigh like 1,000 pounds more than Fire Bro does, so how the heck am I gonna jump as high as I did before!?" Yoshi pointed out.
"Just do it, okay!? And I'm not THAT heavy! I only weigh 575 pounds!" DK said. Yoshi ran and flutter jumped as high as he could. DK jumped off of him and took a leap of faith toward Dimentio. DK smacked him hard on the back of his neck, which made Dimentio turn his magic wave towards the purple Yoshi, and made Bleck's magic wave hit Dimentio, which caused him to fly all the way across the room and smash into the wall.
The magic wave that hit the purple Yoshi made him deflate and zoom all over the room like a balloon that was running out of helium. After a few more seconds, the Yoshi fell safely to the ground and the Sapphire gem landed right next to him.
"We...did it? Oh my gosh, we DID do it! DK, you are our hero!" Rosalina cheered and hugged the ape. DK couldn't help but swoon at her touch.
"YEAH WE DID IT YOU GUYS! SCORE ONE FOR TEAM HEROES! IT'S A PARTY IN THE USA!" Fire Bro cheered and danced all around with the gem.
Daisy rolled her eyes. "Can someone grab that gem from him before he accidentally...or purposely breaks it?" Waluigi went up to the maniac and swiped it from him.
The judge walked up to the group. "Well done you guys! You have successfully retrieved the gem back and defeated that menace! Because of this, I am honored to let you keep that gem in hopes of helping the world in a positive way with it." Everyone else in the room cheered for them.
"Yeah, I also want to thank you guys for getting me back to my regular weight. I can proudly say that I've learned a lesson from all of this...NEVER eat magical gems!" The purple Yoshi said in pride.
"Dude, you and me are so much alike. We need to exchange numbers sometime!" Yoshi said.
"Thank you for letting us keep the gem. We promise to keep it out of harm's way, and we'll take good care of it." Toadette said with a smile.
"YOU FOOLS!" Dimentio yelled as he entered back into the room. "You think you have won now, but just you wait, this is only just the beginning! Tatanga has plenty of other plans in store for you annoyances, oh yes he does! I'll be back later to hunt you down...and next time, it's not going to be so easy..." Dimentio then disappeared in a flash.
"Wow. What a psycho! I bet his own family didn't even like him!" Fire Bro spat.
Daisy rolled her eyes again. "Yeahhhhh...anyways! Thank you for your help and time. We'll be on our way now." The group then left the courthouse with everyone else waving and saying their goodbyes to them. They were eventually stopped by Bleck.
"Wait a second! Are you guys actually...leaving this place?" He shyly asked.
"Well duh! Do you really think we wanna spend another minute in this dump any longer?" Waluigi asked.
"Can we, actually? I want to take a look around and enjoy the lovely environment of this sacred place and take in the wondrous designs that the architects have made for this fascinating town." Toad dramatically said. Everyone else rolled their eyes at him.
"Well, the reason why I ask is because...I...I wanna come with you. I want to escape from this place. It's not that I don't hate it, I just want to go back to the real world because I miss the true reality I lived in for most of my life. I miss the people, I miss the natural environments, and I miss just being out there in the world you know?" Bleck asked.
"Hmm...you DID help us with the fight against Dimentio, and you seem to have changed your ways for the better...well, I certainly don't see why you can't come with us. What do you guys say?" Rosalina asked the others. Everyone nodded in agreement, which made Bleck smile a little.
"Thank you all...truly, I mean it."
"I have a question though, how exactly did you get here in the first place?" Toadette asked.
"You see, I was going through major depression issues with my life and I wished for an escape somewhere secluded so I can just be on my own and never have to deal with anyone else's BS. So, I literally transported myself to a random place in the world and wound up here. It was weird at first, with all the breathable water and whatnot, and the completely different terrain that I'm not use to, but I quickly adjusted to it actually. I found a place for myself, and made a few friends that I never thought I'd actually be friends with. Despite the whole 'stealing' case, it was nice to be here. But after seeing Dimentio again, and getting memories of Timpani, I have this sudden urge to return back to the real world and live as I use to live." Bleck explained. Everyone was taken back by how serious and dramatic his story was.
Goombella sniffed her nose and sobbed. "Aww, that is just, like, so sad! Someone give me a tissue!"
Waluigi scoffed. "Come on, it wasn't THAT sad..."
DK put his hand on Bleck's shoulder. "Dude, you can definitely come with us. We know of a place where you can stay at and I'd think you will fit right at home there."
Bleck's smile grew wider. "Thank you all so very much. But wait, is it okay if I take Toadiko, my lawyer with me? I'm sure she would like to get out of here as well."
"Um, sure I guess. Just bring her on out." Daisy answered. Bleck quickly went back into the courthouse and came back out a few seconds later, dragging Toadiko with him.
"Toadiko, these are the people that can get us out of here. What do you say?" Bleck asked.
"YES! PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE! The cheep cheeps here are so creepy! Did you guys know that they sometimes 'feel' up on you when they aren't looking? YUCK! Talk about perverted! And don't even get me started on how they make out...brrrrr!" Toadiko shivered with a grossed out expression.
"Um, yeah, sounds fun. Now let's get the heck out of here!" Birdo said.
EOC.
So, the group has successfully retrieved their first gem and are on their way back to Mushroom Corps. But, of course, their journey is JUST getting started, and it's only bound to get harder, crazier, and weirder from here on out.
NEW CHARACTERS ADDED TO THE CAST: Count Bleck and Toadiko. Bleck will play an even BIGGER role much later in the story.
