Warning: The second half of this chapter contains heavy swearing.

The main 13 got in their arwings and blasted off once again.

"Alright guys, your next destination is Luigi's Mansion, so head northeast and you should be there in 10 minutes," Kylie instructed.

"Gotcha!" Goombella responded and the group steered themselves towards the direction they need to go.

"So, um, do you guys think that, um, once we arrive at the mansion, we could stop by E. Gadd's place first before going in so I can borrow the Poltergust 3000 in case any ghosts try to drag us into the hell dimension?" Luigi nervously asked.

"Wait, E. Gadd is still alive? I thought he was dead?" Waluigi asked.

"Wait, what!? Where the hell did you hear that from?" Daisy said in shock.

"I didn't hear it from anywhere, I just thought that since he hasn't really done anything for years, he might've just died of old age or one of his inventions came to life and murdered him," Waluigi explained.

"That's probably one of the stupidest assumptions I've ever heard. So, just because you've never heard from someone for a long time, that means they're dead? Oh please!" Birdo scoffed.

"Well, I actually can't blame Waluigi for thinking about that. I mean, Tatanga has never made an appearance for years after he kidnapped so we all assumed he was dead but surprise surprise, he shows up in some poorly made spaceship that you could probably find at local Space Car sales events for under 500 coins," Toad said.

"Wait, who is Tatanga?" Peach asked.

"Are kidding me right now, Peach!? Have you not been paying attention the entire time we've been doing these missions!?" Birdo raised her voice.

"Okay, before Birdo blows up in anger yet again, I'll be the one to answer it. Peach, Tatanga is the purple alien we all met when we flew over to his castle to save the prisoners capture there, and he is currently trying to take over the world so we are on this mission to collect a bunch of gems so we can prevent him from doing it. Do you understand now?" DK explained in a patient manner.

"Ohhhh yeah, I totally remember now! But, wait a second...THE WORLD IS BEING TAKEN OVER BY TATANGA!? WE HAVE TO STOP THIS, YOU GUYS!" Peach suddenly freaked out. DK loudly groaned and repeatedly banged his head against the control panel.

"It's okay, DK. Just don't try so hard to make sense to her, you'll get less frustrated, trust me," Toadette advised.

"Has anybody wondered why Tatanga never uses his full name, Tatangirina? I mean, that name sounds SO much better and I can see it being one of the most legendary names ever created! It will go down in history for millenniums to come!" Fire Bro exclaimed.

"Um, what? Tatanga IS his full name, you dolt. He doesn't have any other name, hell, I don't think he even has a last name! Sheesh, you and Peach are definitely trying to claim the prize for the biggest airhead in the country," Dixie scowled.

"Dixie, don't be so rude. Sure, Peach and Fire Bro may have their...'off' moments, but they have shown to have smart and logical moments as well. Don't be so judgmental," Rosalina lectured.

"Yeah, like, you know the saying, Dixie! Don't judge a book by its cover! Unless you did, like, TONS of plastic surgery on your face and only then can you have something to say about that, because that just totally shows that that person is super insecure," Goombella added. Dixie rolled her eyes in response.

"Hey, I just thought of something...Rosalina! Don't you have magical powers beyond our wildest imaginations?" Yoshi asked.

"Um...yes, something like that. Why do you ask?" Rosalina responded in curiosity.

"Well, how come you haven't used your magical powers to help aid us in our quest yet?" Yoshi pointed out to not only her, but everyone else, which made them also curious.

"Yeah...Yoshi's got a point there. That IS a bit strange why you haven't used any of your powers to help us at all. You better tell us what you're hiding, missy!" Waluigi demanded.

"I wanna know this as well, only because I like to solve mysteries. Oh yeah, did you guys know I'm a huge fan of Criminal Minds? I have every DVD of that show!" Daisy bragged.

"You better tell us what's up with you, Rosalina...IF THAT'S EVEN YOUR REAL NAME!" Toad yelled.

"Yeah, something smells REALLY fishy around here, and I'm pretty sure it's not my perfume!" Goombella said.

"OH MY GOD! ROSALINA IS SOMEONE EXTREMELY EVIL IN DISGUISE! QUICK, SOMEONE BLAST HER SHIP!" Fire Bro screamed.

"No no no no no no! Okay, I'll explain this. The reason I haven't used my magic powers recently is because...um, well, do you guys remember back in 2007 when Mario saved Peach from Bowser in outer space?" Rosalina asked.

"I'm pretty sure we all do. Why?" Toadette answered.

"Well, after that, I headed off back to space for a while. During that time, a new evil was approaching...something deadlier than I could ever imagine. But, I thought I could handle this all by myself, because at that point, I became too overconfident in my abilities. I tried to destroy it with my powers, but this thing was a lot stronger than I had first thought. This...'thing'...it killed a few of my lumas. I became so angry at that point, that the rage turned me into an entirely different person. I was evil, dark...sinister. With this new me, I successfully destroyed the 'thing,' but it wasn't over yet. I even turned on my own lumas and I tortured them, and I even destroyed some of the Observatory! Thankfully, one of the lumas gave me a nice, long talk and I...I became normal again. Ever since then, I am afraid to use my magic powers, worried that I'll become out of control and become dark again," Rosalina told her story.

Toadette sniffled. "Man...why did you have to tell such a sad story? Does this arwing come packed with tissues?"

"Wow...I'm really sorry to hear that, Rosalina. No one should ever have to go through such a horrible experience," DK said in sympathy.

"Now you all see why I refuse to do magic. The only time where magic may be a necessity is when we're all in grave danger. That's it," Rosalina stated.

"Aww, that's so lame, man! You aren't going to become a freaking demon if you use a couple of magic tricks for crying out loud. You need to relax and drink some Kool-aid," Waluigi obnoxiously said.

"Hey, if she doesn't wanna do it, then she doesn't wanna do it! It's as simple as that," DK argued.

"Why do you always have to defend her? Quit trying to be a white knight, you crazy ape!" Waluigi retorted.

"Okay, can you both stop trying to see who the alpha male here is? Look, we're almost at the mansion!" Dixie said, pointing to a green house in the distance.

"Yep...that's it alright...my old mansion...packed with hundreds of ghosts all waiting to hurt me...I really hope I don't crap my pants!" Luigi shrieked.

"Luigi, you seriously need to calm down. I promise that I won't let anything happen to you," Daisy said.

The group landed their ships on the huge front yard of the mansion. They all got out and walked to the steps leading to the front door, and stared at the incredibly huge mansion that loomed before them. It looked exactly the same as it did over a decade ago. Everyone had chills run down their spine and their stomachs started to turn. No one except for Luigi wanted to admit it, but they were all beyond scared for what could lie in that mansion now.

"Alright you guys...this is it...the house of the dead...where hundreds of ghosts are all in there waiting to hurt us and traumatize us for life," Luigi nervously said.

"You're not making the situation any better, you know," Birdo scowled.

"Come on you guys, I know that you're all scared, but we HAVE to do this! The weight of the world is now on our shoulders, and we have to do everything in our power to not let it down or else all hell is going to break loose!" Daisy said her speech to everyone.

"You do realize that's just adding more unnecessary pressure to us, right?" Dixie questioned.

"Well...good! Pressure is good because it adds an adrenaline rush which makes you more likely to strive toward your goal, know what I'm saying?" Daisy said.

"Yes, we ALL know what you're saying, now can you stop giving us these 'empowerment' speeches already? They're seriously giving me a headache!" Waluigi groaned. Daisy rolled her eyes at him and led the group to the front door. Daisy grabbed the doorknob, took a deep breath in and out, and turned the knob.

The door was locked.

"Aww, that's such a shame! Oh well, time to go back!" Goombella quickly said and started to run off, until Dixie grabbed her by the hair and pulled her back.

"Hold on a second here, why is this door locked? Luigi, don't you have the keys to open it?" The monkey girl asked.

"No, I don't. And I'm proud of it!" Luigi answered with a grin.

"I know where the key is..." said an old-sounding voice that made everyone jump in fright. Everyone turned around and saw Professor E. Gadd standing right there.

"Oh hey E. Gadd! What's up, dude? What have you been up to all these years?" DK asked.

"Oh you know, just still inventing some machines that have the ability to cause doomsday on this planet. None of them have succeeded yet, unfortunately," E. Gadd said.

"Nice to know. Anyways, you say you know where the key is so, like, where is it at and how do you know?" Goombella asked.

"Ah, yes. The key. It's located east from here, only a half-mile. You go through a cave and enter in some barn area, and the key should easily be spotted. How do I know this? Well, I overheard three people talking about when they were on their way over here. One of them was someone dressed in a filthy white sheet that seriously needed to be taken to the laundromat, and the other were some shadowy-looking females," E. Gadd explained. Everyone gasped at this.

"Oh my god, those were Doopliss, Marilyn, and Beldam! What the hell were they doing here?" DK asked in shock.

"They said something about retrieving some kind of gem and making sure the front door is locked so you guys can't get in, so they could have more time to find this gem in order to give it to someone named Tatongo or something of that matter," E. Gadd explained further.

"First off, it's TATANGA. Secondly...that means those three already have a head start on us, which means we have less time than we thought we did!" Birdo shrieked.

"Yes yes, that is why you must hurry and fetch the key right now. While you guys are doing that, I'll go get the Poltergust 3000 and you can use it to make your horror quest a little easier," E. Gadd said.

"OH YES! THANK YOU SO MUCH! FINALLY A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED! I LOVE YOU!" Luigi cheered and kissed his feet.

"Huh? But I thought you loved Daisy, Luigi?" Peach asked.

"It's just an expression, Peach! Gosh, he doesn't actually love him...unless...he secretly does!?" Yoshi gasped.

"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OKAY, LET'S GO RIGHT NOW BEFORE I HURL ALL OVER WALUIGI'S CLOTHES!" Toadette shrieked in disgust.

"Hey, why do I get to be the one that's hurled on!?" Waluigi complained.

The group then walked off toward the east direction, admiring the nice trees and grass that surrounded them. After about 5 minutes of walking, they reached the entrance to the cave.

"Damn, sure seems dark in there. Does anybody happen to have a flashlight on them?" Birdo asked.

"I don't have a flashlight...but I have dynamite!" Fire Bro cheered and got out a stick of dynamite, showing it to everyone. They all screamed.

"NO! PUT THAT AWAY! We don't need any 'accidents' happening here!" Toadette squealed, grabbed the stick and threw it in the distance.

"Awwwww, you're such a killjoy!" Fire Bro pouted.

"Alright guys, let's go on into the cave...where there is darkness all around us and probably hundreds of vampire bats hanging from the ceiling waiting to bite us to death!" Luigi freaked out for the hundredth time.

"Can you stop being a wimp and man up already!?" Yoshi yelled and smacked Luigi.

"HEY! NO ONE IS ALLOWED TO SMACK MY BOYFRIEND EXCEPT FOR ME!" Daisy screamed and smacked Yoshi back.

"Girl, you know that no one DARES to lay a hand on MY man!" Birdo yelled and then smacked Daisy.

"Yeah Daisy! No touching Birdo's property!" Peach added to the argument and also smacked Daisy.

"I am nobody's property, people! I can't be bought just like that! Well, unless you buy me for a billion coins, THEN we can talk about that," Yoshi said and then smacked Daisy.

"Hey, I wanna jump on the smack bandwagon too! I hate being left out!" Fire Bro complained and smacked Daisy.

"WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP HITTING ME!? THIS IS GETTING TO BE UTTERLY RIDICULOUS! And Luigi, you're not even trying to defend me!" Daisy angrily pointed to out to man in green.

"Oh! Um...Daisy's right, she's my girlfriend and you guys should be ashamed of yourselves for laying your hands on her!" Luigi stated and then he smacked DK.

"Ow! What the hell did you do that for!? I didn't even touch her!" DK raged.

"Good job, Luigi! You just hurt DK's feelings!" Toad yelled in sarcasm and smacked Luigi.

"TOADETTE, WILL YOU STOP STEPPING ON MY FOOT!?" Waluigi angrily cried and smacked her.

"What the hell, man!? How could I have stepped on your foot when you're not even right next to me!?" Toadette cried and smacked him back.

"I know, I just wanted an excuse to smack someone," Waluigi snickered.

"Hey you guys, we should totally do a competition where whoever smacks the most people gets a prize! I call it...THE SMACK-A-THON!" Goombella excitedly suggested.

"NO! There shall be no more smacking! We are wasting precious time here, and if we don't get a move on right now, those guys will get the gem and we will fail in completing the mission! NOW LET'S GO!" Rosalina frustratingly stated and stomped on in.

"Jeeze, what's her issue? Must be that time of the month," Waluigi shrugged and followed everyone else in.

One minute later, and everyone exited the cave and entered a small, enclosed barn area with a small land of grass in the middle, and a huge wall of barn structure surrounding all of it. A black bull was right in the center of the area, eating some grass.

"What in the world? That didn't even take that long to get through the cave! Man, we were freaking out over nothing!" Toad exclaimed in shock.

"Okay, I don't see the key anywhere here, maybe we should ask that bull to see if he knows where it is?" Peach suggested.

"Since when do bulls talk? I'm literally trying to resist the urge to punch you in the face right now!" Birdo said in frustration.

"Hmm? Who's there!?" The bull called out, and turned toward the group.

"Well, I'll be damned..." Birdo gasped.

"Uhh, hi there! We were, like, wondering if you had seen a key that opens the front door to this spooky and ugly mansion anywhere," Goombella said.

"Hmm...pink. I hate pink! Go away!" The bull yelled.

"Pink? But I don't see any pink!" Peach squealed, and looked down at her dress and gasped. Her, Goombella, Toadette, and Birdo all had pink on them.

"Well, it's certainly a good thing my pink hat disintegrated then!" Dixie laughed.

"Alright, listen here you little ugly beast! Tell us where the key is now, or else I will put my elf shoe so far up your ass, you'll be bleeding from your mouth!" Waluigi yelled in rage.

"YOU BITCH! I WILL RIP YOUR HEAD OFF AND DEVOUR IT WHOLE!" The bull screamed in sudden rage. He then started to chase after Waluigi, which made the skinny tall guy run for his life.

"Crap, someone has to stop him! Waluigi is so gonna die if we don't do something!" Toadette shrieked.

"I've got just the idea!" Yoshi said and ran to the field. He launched his tongue out toward the bull and wrapped it around his body. Yoshi then attempted to gulp him down, but the bull wasn't even close to fitting inside his mouth.

"GET YOUR FUCKING SLIMY TONGUE OFF OF ME YOU GODAWFUL EXCUSE OF A DINOSAUR BEFORE I RIP IT IN HALF!" The bull screamed in rage.

Rosalina snapped her fingers. "I see the key! It's taped on to the bull's back! Someone has to go over there and get it!"

"Ooh! I wanna do it! Fire Bro to the rescuuuuuuuuuuuuuue!" The maniac cheered and jumped on to the bull's back. Unfortunately, Yoshi couldn't hold on to the bull any longer so he let the bull go, thus having him and Fire Bro topple over onto the ground.

"GRRRRRRRRRRRR! YOU'VE ALL DONE IT NOW! NOW GET OUT OF MY SIGHT BEFORE I- OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" The bull suddenly screamed in immense pain as a loud ripping sound was heard.

"Aha, I've got the key, everybody! No need to thank me!" Fire Bro cheered, holding up a long piece of fur.

"Fire Bro...THAT'S NOT THE FREAKING KEY! IT'S STILL TAPED ON HIS BACK!" Birdo yelled.

"Whoops, sorry Mister Bull! Your fur is just SO soft though! How much can I buy it for?" Fire Bro asked in excitement.

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! YOUR HOSPITAL BILL WILL BE THROUGH THE ROOF ONCE I'M DONE WITH YOU!" The bull screamed again, his eyes starting to turn red.

"Wow, SOMEONE clearly has a short temper! Have you ever tried taking ecstasy before? That can totally calm you down, you know!" Fire Bro suggested. The bull then charged toward the psycho until Waluigi came in and punched him in the face.

"That's for insulting me and my beautiful head! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm getting that key!" Waluigi said and jumped onto the bull. As he was about to rip it off, the bull started running wildly, making Waluigi fall off.

"Ugh, this isn't working! Okay, I'm going in there next!" Dixie said and ran in.

"I'm coming with you, girl!" Birdo said and also ran in there.

"Wait you guys, let me handle it! I'm the strongest one here so I actually have a chance of handling this psychopathic animal!" DK called out and ran in as well.

"Geez, this bull has an even worse temper than Bowser does. I wonder if they're somehow related?" Toad wondered out loud.

"I'm certainly getting vibes that the bull was abused throughout his life and all the other bulls made fun of him because he was malnourished when he was younger. How sad," Rosalina said.

"Well, looks like the poor bull turned into a BULL...y! Ha! Get it? Bull-y? Because he's a bull and the...ah, forget it," Toadette whimpered.

"Hey, ugly! Yeah, I'm talking to YOU! I bet that you don't have enough speed to catch me!" Dixie taunted and started running away.

"Oh, I'll catch you alright, you little monkey slut! AND THEN I'LL TEAR OPEN YOUR CHEST AND EAT YOUR HEART OUT!" The bull screamed in even more rage and started chasing Dixie.

But then, Birdo jumped in and kicked the bull right on the side and knocked the bull over. "HA! For a bull that talks a lot of shit, you sure can't back it up that well!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FUCKING TRANSVESTITE! EVER WONDER WHY NO ONE LIKES YOU? IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE UGLY AND YOU'RE A WASTE OF FUCKING SPACE ON EVERY SINGLE FUCKING GAME THAT YOU APPEAR IN!" The bull angrily spat. He got back up and rammed hard into Birdo, sending her a few feet away.

"Hey, how the hell do you know about Birdo and the Nintendo games?" Daisy asked.

"Because all the other bulls were lucky enough to play video games and have internet except for me, since my owner was a complete idiot who thought video games and the net brainwashed people into committing stupid crimes!" The bull explained.

"Okay, 1. That IS incredibly stupid, and 2. How in the world do bulls even play video games and use a computer!?" Luigi questioned.

Yoshi and Dixie ran over to Birdo. "Birdo, my darling! Are you alright? Did the obnoxiously rude fatass hurt you?" Yoshi asked in concern.

"Ugh...just a little bit, I think...but I swear to god, I am going to DESTROY that piece of shit! Plus, that transvestite insult is way overdone!" Birdo angrily replied and got up by herself.

"Birdo, I'm not so sure about this now. He seems like he could actually kill one of us if he could!" Dixie said in worry.

"That's why I'm handling this, you guys. Get out of the way," DK said as he stepped toward the bull.

"Well well well, look what we have here!? A stupid looking ape who probably has a brain the size of a fucking peanut! Let's hurry up and get this overwith so I can smash your face in with my feet!" The bull taunted.

"Well then, bring it on, you obese hotheaded potty mouthed loser! How old are you anyways? Wait, I shouldn't ask that, you probably can't even count that high!" DK laughed.

The bull growled louder than ever before. Steam was now coming out of his nose and ears. "THAT'S IT! I'M HAVING MONKEY STEW TONIGHT!" The bull then charged toward DK, while DK just stood there, waiting for the bull. Everyone covered their eyes, scared that something awful was going to happen. Once the bull reached within a foot of DK, the ape unleashed a powerful punch at his face. But that wasn't it, he gave him another punch, a kick, another kick, a punch again, and wrestled the bull to the ground. DK put the bull in a headlock and the bull was screaming out for his life. Dixie sneaked on over and ripped the taped key off his back and showed it to everyone else. They all cheered in victory.

"I've got it, you guys! Now let's get the hell out of this death trap!" Dixie cheered. But suddenly, the bull rejuvenated and knocked DK right off him and then rammed into his chest, flinging him all the way to where the exit was and he hit the barn structure hard and landed on the grass face down. The bull then rammed into Dixie when she wasn't looking and dropped the key. Dixie rolled over as far away as she could and groaned in pain.

"DK! Are you okay!? Answer me!" Rosalina said in worry and turned him over. He was knocked out cold.

"Oh crap, this isn't good! What are we suppose to do now!? Someone has to go get the key that Dixie dropped!" Toad shrieked.

"Uhh, Daisy! It's your turn to get the key now! Good luck and try not to get obliterated out there!" Peach said in support and pushed Daisy into the field. Daisy angrily looked at her, and then heard the bull breathing in and out loudly right next to her, which caused her to slowly turn her head back around. She almost fainted when she saw the bull right there, giving her an evil glare. His eyes were full on red, and steam was still coming out of his mouth and ears.

"Um...h-hi there..." Daisy nervously spoke.

"Blood...anger...pain...rage...gore...mutilation.. .DEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTHHHHHHHHH!" The bull screamed again and charged after Daisy. Daisy screamed and lunged out of the bull's path. She crawled over to where the key was as fast as she could, grabbed it, and tossed it over to the others.

Goombella caught the key. "I got it! Now let's get the heck away from this freak of the week!"

"Wait a second! We need to get Dixie and DK!" Yoshi said and ran over to Dixie and helped her up on his back. He turned around and saw the bull facing him, literally looking like he was about to explode in anger.

"AND WHERE THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, MR. LARGE-NOSE-THAT'S-DISPROPORTIONATE-TO-THE-REST-OF- HIS-BODY!?" The bull asked.

"Just keep on talking, angry bull. Maybe one day you'll say something intelligent!" Yoshi taunted and grew a smirk up on his face. Steam blasted out of the bull's nose and ears and he sped towards Yoshi. The dinosaur made a lead of faith and flutter jumped over the bull, while the bull whizzed right past and crashed his head into the barn wall. Yoshi landed on the ground, ran over to DK, helped him up on his back as well and got the hell out of there with the others.

EOC.

Man, I seriously pray that I NEVER hope to see someone as destructive as that bull is in my life, lol. Next chapter will have the gang entering the mansion finally, and tons of crazy and creepy stuff begins to happen.
