I edited the end of the last chapter because I just realized I forgot to put Toad and Toadette in. This is what happens when you're typing a story at 2 AM...

"Hold on a second here, let's back this up real quick...you're telling me that you ALL went through a bunch of horrifying crap, just like we did?" Daisy asked in shock.

"Damn straight, sista!" Fire Bro responded awkwardly.

"Um, yeah, what he said. We experienced a freaking poltergeist and both of us got badly hurt too!" Dixie exclaimed.

"Yeah, well, try having seven freaking salami slices of pizza shoved down your throat, all while being allergic to salami, and having to deal with a possessed sibling!" Toad objected.

"SEVEN PIZZA SLICES!? I can't even handle three! At least you two didn't have your own body be violated and tried to scratch your own skin off!" Waluigi shrieked.

"I'm pretty sure me being smooched and groped by a bunch of pink clone ghosts beats out yours, Waluigi. Brrr..." DK said, still shuddering at the horrid memory.

"Having to sing an opera slash musical and wrestle your friend in front of a bunch of 'excited' Boos is super uncomfortable too!" Peach cried.

"I dunno Peach, having a bunch of glass shards stick to your skin and almost kill you seems like a much worse fate than that," Daisy replied.

"Not as much as being wrapped in a cocoon of black hair! But I have to admit, it WAS really soft and silky!" Luigi said.

"Your guys' conflicts are NOTHING compared to mine. These 30 or so cloaked koopas came out of nowhere and tried to attack me! Fortunately, I killed them all with ease, and it was actually a bit fun too. Still though, I almost fainted when they came at me," Birdo described.

"I had tea with a sickly green colored ghost! It was quite interesting!" Yoshi said in excitement. Everyone gave him a scowl.

"Um...right. For me, I could've sworn I saw my own doppelganger when I got down here with DK and Waluigi. It scared me half to death. I thought I was starting to lose my mind..." Rosalina explained, feeling woozy just at the thought of it.

"Wait, doppelganger? Oh, that totally must've been Doopliss! He can, like, copy someone's body and turn into them! Remember guys, E. Gadd told us that him and those two shadow freak-a-zoids went in here to steal the gem?" Goombella reminded.

Toadette snapped her finger. "That's right! I completely forgot all about them! But...um...we still have no idea where the gem is and where those three could be."

"So...that was Doopliss who did that? Interesting...yet creepy of course. I saw Doopliss head into that room on the left last when I first came down here, so unless they've found another way out, they're still somewhere down here," Rosalina said.

"Ooh! I forgot to mention this! Me and Birdo had a visit with Madame Clairvoya and she told us our future. For whatever stupid reason, she refused to tell us if me and Birdo survived all the way. But anyways, she said that we DO get all the gems and we DO manage to reach Tatanga's island," Yoshi explained.

Everyone's jaws dropped, then there were bright smiles on their faces. This great piece of info immediately cheered everyone up, despite all the hell they had to go through.

"SWEET! I just knew the heroes would win for the quadrillionth time in a row! GO TEAM MUSHROOM!" Toad cheered and jumped.

"Team Mushroom? Seriously? We are NOT making that our group name, if we ever come up with one," Birdo scoffed.

"Awesome! This means I can still rob banks with Wario! YIPPEE YI YAY!" Waluigi cheered and hugged Rosalina. His cheeriness went away when he realized what he was doing and broke the hug off and started to whistle as if nothing ever happened. Rosalina gave him a confused look but then giggled.

"I'll believe it when I see it. Fortune telling never goes the exact way it does. There's always some twist that happens that really screws some people over, probably making everything worse," Dixie shrugged.

"Oh quit being negative you silly monkey chick and dance with me!" Fire Bro shrieked in excitement and grabbed both of her hands and swung her around multiple times. He then let her go and she crashed into the wall.

"Ugh...I'm alright...ain't even mad, I'm practically use to the pain now, especially because of what happened to me in Wet Dry World..." Dixie groaned, getting out of the hole in the wall with ease.

"So, you talked to Madame Clairvoya, eh? How is she doing these days?" Luigi asked.

"She's a lot more annoying now than she was a decade ago. That's all I'm gonna say," Birdo shrugged and checked her nails.

"Not only that, but she also told us where the location of the gem is. It's in the Secret Altar, which is where King Boo and a few other ghosts are at," Yoshi added to the info.

"King Boo!?" Everyone except Birdo, Yoshi, Dixie, and Fire Bro shouted since those four already knew.

"Hey, that's the same thing the giant, ghetto flower told us when we were in the backyard!" Fire Bro informed.

"Wait a second...a FLOWER talked to you? What in the world!?" DK scratched his head.

"So King Boo has returned, huh? I knew this was going to happen when I saw that this was one of the places where the gem was held at. That's why I brought this with me!" Luigi said, bringing out his mangled Poltergust 3000.

"What the hell happened to that thing? It looks like it was ran over by a dumpster truck," Waluigi pointed out.

"Some of the ghosts ruined it. Anyways, this can be fixed but only one person can do it...which is you, Rosalina," Luigi said, handing the vacuum to her.

"What? Me!? Why do you say that?" Rosalina asked in shock.

"Because you have magical powers beyond our wildest imagination! I know you said you refused to use magic after what happened to you in space, but...um...with this, we can get the gem easily since all we have to do is just suck them up, take the gem, and leave. Please?" Luigi asked and gave her the puppy dog face. Rosalina sighed and looked at everyone else, who was also giving her the puppy dog face, which actually creeped her out.

"Fine, I'll do it. Give it to me," The space queen gave in and took the machine. She waved her right hand in a slow motion over the vacuum and suddenly, it began to fix itself! Everyone gazed in amazement at this and they were all blown away.

After about a minute, the vacuum was fully fixed and Rosalina gave it back to Luigi.

"Wow, you are totally awesome! Even if you are an intergalactic freak!" Toadette said in awe.

"Thanks Rosalina. Now we should have no problem fighting King Boo and his friends. Come on guys, let's get going before the gem is stolen!" Daisy said and led the group toward the cellar door. She opened it and screamed at what she saw.

The cellar had been basically turned into a death room. There were swinging axes EVERYWHERE and it looked almost impossible to get through them.

"...Well shit," Daisy swore and facepalmed herself.

"WOAH! That looks like a lot of fun! I wanna play!" Fire Bro cheered and started to run in until Birdo pulled him back.

"HOLD UP A SECOND! Now, why the hell are there swinging axes all over the room? It wasn't like that last time!" Birdo yelled.

"King Boo must've set up a trap in case anyone were to come in and steal the gem. Sigh...why do traps always have to be so brutal and terrifying?" Luigi said, starting to shake in his knees.

"I'm sorry Rosalina, but you're gonna have to use your magic again to stop the axes from swinging. It's the only way that we'll have a safe chance to get across to the door on the other side," DK explained.

"Yes...I understand," Rosalina quietly replied and raised her hands and arms towards the axes. Her face had complete concentration and it was rare to see Rosalina with such a serious look.

"The suspense is killing me. Is it possible to have your heart literally pound out of your chest?" Yoshi asked, but no one bothered to answer him.

Rosalina let out a grunt and dropped her hands. "It...it's not working! I don't know why, but my magic isn't affecting these axes at all!"

"What? Well, that just means you're not trying hard enough! FOCUS LIKE YOU'VE NEVER FOCUSED BEFORE, GIRL!" Goombella shrieked.

"I AM focusing as hard as I can, Goombella but...King Boo must've done something to these that make them unaffected by magic. I'm guessing he sprayed magic repellant on them?" Rosalina said.

"Magic repellant? Stuff like that actually exists? Huh, I should get me one of those. That way, I can sneak into Kammy Koopa's room and steal her golden mushrooms without being hurt by her magic blasts!" Waluigi schemed and laughed.

"Wait a second Rosalina, why can't you just turn all of us invisible so we can just simply walk through the room without having to dodge them in fear for our lives?" Dixie asked.

"Because I don't have that kind of power yet! I CAN make you guys invisible, but it would still make you physically feel something. I'm not at the same level of those powerful beings like witches, warlocks, demons, etc..." Rosalina explained.

"Witches? Warlocks!? DEMONS!? THEY EXIST!? NOOOOOOOOOO! WHY CAN'T THE WORLD JUST BE FILLED WITH GOOD THINGS FOR ONCE!?" Luigi cried.

"Why the hell are you so surprised for? Do you not remember the fact that Kammy is a witch? And the fact that all of us went through extreme torture in a haunted house due to supernatural elements?" DK questioned.

"Oh no! What are we going to do now? Should we just run in and hope that we don't get sliced?" Peach asked.

"I hate to say it but...Peach is right. If Rosalina's magic can't do the trick, then we're gonna have to hope for the best and go through this. Are you ready guys?" Daisy asked everyone else.

"If by 'ready' you mean ready to have a panic attack, then yes, I'm ready!" Toadette shrieked.

"Sorry Toadette but there's not much I can do to ease the situation. Okay...LET'S GO!" Daisy yelled and they all ran in, fearing for their lives.

Daisy was the first to go in. She successfully dodged the first swinging axe but fell over when she saw the second axe came within inches of hitting her.

"DAISY! NO! I'M COMING TO SAVE YOU!" Luigi screamed and ran in, but he slipped on some water on the floor and slid all the way to the other side of the room, barely dodging the axes.

"Some hero. Anyways, I'm going next! Come on Yoshi!" Birdo said and ran in.

"I've got the perfect strategy for this! I'll just flutter jump my way to the other side and I'll be safe and sound! I am a genius, don't you guys agree?" Yoshi asked.

"Yes, but you'd be even more of a genius if you took me and Toadette with you!" Toad said as he and the sis hopped onto his back.

"Ugh. Sure...why not..." Yoshi scowled and started flutter jumping.

"I don't know what you guys are so scared about, this looks like so much fun! Here I come!" Fire Bro cheered and triple somersaulted his way to the swinging axe area.

"DK! You're the strongest person that's left so you get to go next!" Peach said and shoved DK towards the swinging axes.

"AGH! PEACH! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT FOR!? YOU COULD'VE JUST...HOLY SHIT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" DK screamed as an axe swung his way. He jumped as high as he could and caught on to the pole of the axe.

"Peach, you could've killed DK! Don't ever do something like that again!" Rosalina scolded.

"But he didn't die though! So we should be happy! Yay! I'm next!" Peach cheered and went in.

"Rosalina, you can't let her go in there by herself! She's going to get herself or someone else killed!" Waluigi warned.

"You're right! She's one of my closest friends and I need to make sure she doesn't do anything wrong! I'M COMING PEACH!" Rosalina called out and went on in.

"Whew. Dodged a bullet right there. I was really hoping I wouldn't get to watch over Peach. Well, into the axe pit I go!" Waluigi said and ran in.

"Okay. I can totally do this. I am not weak, I am strong! I am, like, a warrior! I can get through anything that I set my mind to! YEAH! LET'S DO THIS, BOI!" Goombella roared and ran in.

Dixie was the only one left. She sighed, knowing that there was no other way to get past this point. "Well, here goes nothing...I seriously wish I had a Starman right now..."

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! YOSHI, HURRY UP! WE'RE GOING TO GET HIT! OH MY GOD! AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Toadette screamed uncontrollably.

"Will you stop screaming already!? We're not even close to the ground! You're ruining my concentration!" Yoshi cried.

"Oh god...I think I'm going to barf again!" Toad shrieked, his face turning green. He then puked all over the ground, and some of it got onto Yoshi.

"EW! SO FREAKING GROSS, MAN!" Yoshi squealed and fell out of the air and onto one of the swinging axes.

"Hey everyone, look at me! I'm a pole dancer! Watch me as I work this pole out!" Fire Bro yelled, doing some very...'odd' moves with the axe pole.

"Dude, that is so totally inappropriate. Save that for the strip club," Birdo said and hopped out of another axes' way.

"Hey you guys, I made it halfway through! Is there suppose to be a checkpoint here?" Peach asked, scratching her head.

"Peach, hold up. You're moving too fast! I don't want you to get hurt..." Rosalina yelled as she caught up to the princess.

"Oh it's okay, Rosalina! See? I made it halfway through without getting hurt! Do you think I'll get an award for that?" Peach asked.

"I really doubt that, Peach. Anyways, let's keep...OH NO! LOOK OUT!" Rosalina suddenly shrieked and shoved Peach to the floor, both of them dodging another axe.

"OW! ROSALINA, YOU JUST HURT ME! You're a big bully! You totally could've killed me!" Peach complained.

"Peach...I was SAVING YOU from the swinging axe! There is no way I could've killed you just by pushing you! And how on earth am I a bully? I'm the exact opposite of that!" Rosalina replied in frustration.

"Why are you trying to reason with her, Rosalina? It isn't worth the stress!" DK called out nearby as he leaped from axe pole to axe pole and successfully got to the other side.

"AGH! I can't do this! I WANT MY MOMMY!" Waluigi cried, still stuck on the first axe pole.

"Just jump you big crybaby! We don't have time for you to stand there and whine!" Daisy called out, who passed by him and jumped out of an axes way.

"You know what? You're right. I'm not a whiner, I'm a go-getter! Yeah! I am Waluigi goddamnit, king of all stickmen and bank robbers! HERE I GO!" Waluigi yelled. But he didn't move.

"...Any second now!" Waluigi said, but he still didn't move. He then sighed.

"Wow! This is so totally easier than how it looked!" Goombella cheered as she swiftly dodged the axes at a quick pace. She was more than halfway to other side. As she got past another axe, she slipped on something and fell to the ground, landing in the stuff she slipped on.

"OW! Like, what the heck did I just step in? And why does it smell so funky?" Goombella asked.

"Errr...sorry Goombella. I couldn't really hold it in..." Toad said from above. He was still with Toadette on Yoshi's back, who was fluttering jumping again to the other side.

Goombella had a disgusted look on her face as she slowly stood up. She wanted to throw up herself, but she tried to keep it in.

"UGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! THIS IS SO TOTALLY GROSS! I NEED A SHOWER RIGHT NOW!" Goombella cried.

"Can someone please tell me what the hell is the point of putting all these swinging axes here? There's no way King Boo could've done this. I swear, it's like there's some unforeseen force from beyond that's trying to put us through as much torture and BS as possible!" Dixie complained, struggling to get past an axe. She lunged forward as soon as the axe swung by.

"I made it! Whew! That was TOO close!" Daisy said in relief. She saw Luigi getting up after having slid all the way to the opposite end of the room.

"Ugh...wha...oh, DAISY! You're alive! I'm so happy I was able to save you!" The green plumber cheered as he went over to hug her.

"Um, Luigi? You didn't save me, I saved myself," Daisy pointed out, not hugging back.

"Shh shh! It's okay, I know you're traumatized, but you'll get through it, I promise!" Luigi said. Daisy rolled her eyes, not bothering to convince that he did nothing at all.

"INCOMIIIIIIIIING!" Fire Bro yelled as he somersaulted again through the air and landed perfectly on Yoshi's back.

"AGH! TOO...MUCH...WEIGHT!" Yoshi screeched, and then dropped to the ground, making Fire Bro, Toad, and Toadette fall over.

"Ugh...oh god, I think I'm gonna throw up again!" Toad cried.

"Do it in the corner, Toad. And try not to make too much noise..." Rosalina groaned. Toad ran over to the corner and did his business.

Dixie was the next one to make it. "Ugh, I'm surprised that I didn't get my head decapitated. Seriously, all this stuff looks so much easier in the video games. Why can't life be like a video game? Talk about unfair!"

"Um, yeah, anyways, who else is left? Did everyone make it through?" Birdo asked and looked around.

"Waluigi! He's still in there!" Toadette yelled, pointing to the left of the room. Waluigi had just barely dodged an axe and managed to move forward.

"COME ON WALUIGI! THERE'S JUST ONE MORE TO GO! DON'T BE A PANSY!" Yoshi yelled.

"How did I even make it this far!? I thought for sure I was going to die at this point in the adventure!" Waluigi cried.

"I'm just as shocked as you are, Waluigi. But come on! We need you over here right now!" Birdo demanded.

"Okay...I can do this..." Waluigi whispered and calmed himself down. As soon as the swinging axe got out of the way, he ran but unfortunately, he tripped over on himself, landing on the ground.

"OH NO!" Peach shrieked.

Waluigi recoiled by getting up as fast as he could, but Birdo objected to his actions.

"NO WALUIGI! DO NOT GET UP!" Birdo screamed in sudden fear.

But Waluigi didn't listen. He got up and ran anyways, but the axe was too fast for him. It sliced into the back of his leg, causing him and everyone else to scream due to shock and disgust.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Rosalina screamed and ran over to his side.

"Holy crap...that really just happened, didn't it? Excuse me while I go throw up yet again," Toad said and 'did his business' in the corner again.

"Ewww, there's blood all over the floor! Luigi, it's your mansion so you have to go clean it up!" Peach ordered.

"Wh-wh-what? B-but...blood makes me queasy..." Luigi said, shaking in his legs.

"AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHH! MY LEG! MY FREAKING STICK LEG! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!" Waluigi cried out, holding the large wound to prevent more blood from flowing out.

"Oh my goodness...we don't have anything to cover this right now, do we?" Rosalina asked to the others.

Luigi shook his head. "No. There's no medical equipment down here, nor do I see anything to wrap around his leg..."

"Can't you, like, heal his wound with your freaky powers, Rosalina?" Goombella asked.

"Unfortunately, I can't. I don't have that kind of power as well..." Rosalina sighed and looked back to Waluigi.

"God...my left leg...it feels so...numb...am I going to be okay?" Waluigi said, clearly trying hard not to cry.

"Yes, you will. I promise that you will be okay," Rosalina responded in a very caring voice. This made everything a little better for Waluigi. Just hearing her voice filled him with comfort. DK was witnessing all of this, and Yoshi could tell that he was jealous and a bit frustrated just by looking at his face because he saw it out of the corner of his eye and it caught his attention.

"Sorry Peachy, but I'm gonna have to do this in order to help out the wounded stickman!" Fire Bro said and then ripped off a large part of Peach's dress at the bottom.

"HEY! This is very delicate fabric! If you touch my dress ever again, then you won't be invited to my 25th birthday!" Peach yelled.

"Um, Peach? Technically, that's Kylie's dress. And...your 25th birthday was two months ago..." Dixie said, shaking her head.

Fire Bro wrapped the pink cloth all around Waluigi's wound, which indeed stopped the bleeding. Then him and Rosalina helped Waluigi up.

"Ah! This feels seriously weird! I hope I won't have to get those annoying and ugly crutches..." Waluigi complained.

"Don't worry about it, I'll help you walk along the way, okay?" Rosalina asked. Waluigi gave her a smile and nodded.

"Okay, despite the horrific event that just occurred, we have to keep moving on so we can get the gem before the trio of idiots get it. Let's get moving," Daisy said but Birdo stopped her.

"Wait a second, what is the plan here? Are we just gonna barge in there and fight everything we see and hope that we win?" She questioned.

"Nope. We're gonna barge in there and VACUUM everything we see! Ha ha ha!" Luigi laughed in overconfidence.

"Now that I think about it, you're right. We need to have a plan, but...um...I don't exactly think there needs to be a thought out plan, you know? I mean, I thought the plan was simple: we go in there, defeat all the baddies, and get the gem. I don't think we need to do more than that," Daisy countered.

"It's a bit risky, though. They could easily overpower and blindside us. And not to mention, a few of us here are either injured or have serious stomach pains..." Toad said.

"We'll think of something on the way. Now let's go already, we're wasting enough time as it is," DK harshly spoke and left the room in the hallway. Everyone followed him in. They all went through the door at the far end, only to come into another hallway that was twisty. They walked all the way down and came to a door.

"Here it is, you guys. You all ready?" Daisy asked, grabbing the doorknob.

"Wait a second! There's some small bars on the door! You could see right through and see what they're doing in there!" Toadette pointed out.

Dixie gasped. "She's right. We can see who and what is in there, so that way we can formulate a plan easier! Well, possibly...maybe...uncertain...questionable..."

"Oh! I didn't even notice that. Let's check it out then, shall we?" Daisy said and everyone tried to get a good look inside the room through the small bars.

"Okay, what the hell is taking these worthless beings so long? I'm tired of waiting in suspense!" King Boo yelled.

"I know, right!? I am really itching to bust someone's head open right now!" The pink ghost roared.

"Damn, girl! You are seriously hot when you act all wild and violent! Mind telling me if you're anything like that in the bedroom?" The gold ghost asked with a wink. The pink ghost growled at him and smacked him upside the head.

"Um, I assure you King Boo that those 'beings' should be here any minute now. But of course, you know how stupid 'beings' can be, always following with their emotions instead of their brains..." Beldam scoffed.

"Tell me about it. My brother was like that once, when we were both alive. He was the most illogical person I've ever seen in my life. He would always try to convince me that he and this bad chick belonged together, and I say 'bad chick' because she did drugs and got into trouble at school a lot. I kept trying to tell him that it wouldn't end well, but he never listened of course. He really should've after what I did to him..." The blue ghost explained his story.

Doopliss/Rosalina gasped. "You mean...you killed your own brother!?"

"Hell no! I shaved all of his hair off because he was being an idiot! Naw, the dude got killed in a car accident. But that wasn't the worst thing though...it was MY car that he was driving! I had that baby for 5 years and then he just ruined it! Excuse me...I need a moment..." The blue ghost turned around and started weeping while everyone else rolled their eyes.

"BANANAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!" The green ghost yelled yet again and gulped down more bananas.

"WILL YOU SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE!? GOD, I'M SURROUNDED BY A BUNCH OF LOSERS! I HATE THIS STUPID WORLD!" The pink ghost raged and picked one of the torches and threw them across the room.

"See everyone, this is a perfect example of what happens when a woman is PMSing," The gold ghost said. The pink ghost started to strangle him until King Boo pulled her away. Doopliss/Rosalina suddenly exploded into laughter.

"What is so funny, if I may ask?" King Boo raised his eyebrow.

"All of you! Seriously, I have never seen a more dysfunctional group of 'baddies' in my entire life! I'm being dead serious right now, all the thoughts that I had of you winning against those annoying heroes have officially been erased. At least when me and Beldam argue, it's to be expected and we get over it minutes later. Yeah, you guys can turn invisible and scare the crap out of people, but so what? What have you got to offer besides that? You guys are incredibly weak, especially compared to some other bosses I've seen in my life! Do you really honestly think you'll be successful in defeating all of them?" Doopliss/Rosalina harshly explained. All the other ghosts were in shock.

"Doopliss...what the hell are you doing!? Have you gone gone completely mad!?" Beldam angrily whispered to him.

King Boo crossed his arms and gave a smirk. "So...what you are saying is...you think you're so much better than us, right? You think you have all of this figured out, don't you? How dare you underestimate us, you little twit. I could easily tear your throat out before you even make a sound."

"Then why don't you? Come on King Boo, you say you're tough and all that, so why don't you show me what you're made of?" Doopliss/Rosalina threatened.

King Boo snickered and shook his head. "I have to admit it, I give you props for saying such dreadful things to me. No one has said something like that to me as long as I can remember. Still though, a gigantic ego will only get you so far. I wanna make a proposition to you. You go out there, find out where those beings are and lead them here. I'll kill them and I'll reward you with my gem. If you don't find them in 15 minutes however...I will show you what true evil REALLY is."

Things were quiet for a moment in the room. The tension got turned up so fast that it made everyone become nervous.

"Wow...I didn't realize things could get heated up between those guys. Talk about overdramatic!" Toadette said.

"There's 8 of them in there, it seems. 5 of them are ghosts so Luigi, we need you to focus your attention on the ghosts so you can suck them up. Half of us will help you out, while the other half will deal with Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss," DK stated.

"Understood. Though it's going to be difficult having to suck up 5 at once..." Luigi sighed.

"Difficult, but not impossible. There is very little chance that they'll manage to kill all of us and besides, I doubt that the ghosts would want anything to do with those 3 at this point so they probably won't even help each other out," Daisy said.

"Fine. I'll do it and just because I'm nice, I'll even help you kill them," Doopliss/Rosalina stated. He then walked towards the door which made the heroes gasp and back away quickly.

"Oh crap! He's coming! WHAT DO WE DO!?" Dixie shrieked.

"Wait a second! I totally got an idea! Follow me everyone!" Goombella said and led everyone out the short hallway. Doopliss/Rosalina then entered the hallway and as soon as he exited it, he was ambushed by the group.

"SURPRISE PARTY!" Fire Bro yelled, dog piling on the doppelganger.

"QUICK! BRING HIM IN HERE!" Goombella yelled, opening a door that led to a pipe room. Everyone else dragged him in the room and slammed the door shut.

"GET THE HELL OFF ME! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS!?" Doopliss/Rosalina screamed.

"Oh, it's just a little plan that will help us get the gem and leave you and those other morons in the dust!" Yoshi laughed and then smacked him.

"NO! You'll never get the gem! You think you guys are going to win just because you're heroes!? WELL THINK AGAIN! THIS ISN'T A MOVIE OR A VIDEO GAME...even though we ARE characters from a video game so...I guess maybe that actually counts here?" Doopliss/Rosalina questioned.

"Your logic makes sense actually...but it's not enough to keep you safe!" Waluigi yelled and smacked Doopliss/Rosalina.

"Now, you better tell us right now how the hell Tatanga managed to spy on us when Merlon told us all about Crystal Star Rod and all the worlds we need to go to!" Daisy got in his face.

"Ha! As if I'm gonna tell you twats anything!" Doopliss/Rosalina scoffed. Daisy then smacked him as well. "OW! FINE! Tatanga has thing called a scepter, I think he got it from Grodus. Anyways, this scepter is charged with so much power and energy that it allowed him to spy on you guys, kind of like a crystal ball."

"Oh my god...so that's one of the reasons Tatanga was so easily able to destroy Mushroom City..." Toad gasped.

"I see, I see...now, how exactly is Tatanga going to take over the world? He said he would do it by killing half the people in the world and making the other half his slaves. How would he do that?" Dixie asked.

"Oh come on, do I really have to tell you everything?" Doopliss/Rosalina groaned. Dixie then smacked him. "OW! WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE SMACKING!? Ugh, fine, he told me that he is having his Koopatrol slaves build some kind of machine that can cause larger amounts of destruction than what you all saw with Mushroom City. He'll also use the machine to brainwash everyone else that's still alive."

"A machine? But...that's not what Madame Clairvoya told me and Yoshi..." Birdo whispered in confusion.

"Interesting. So he's using a machine to do all this...it's clever, I should say. But it ain't gonna help him though, we'll kill him before he even finishes it," DK stated.

Doopliss/Rosalina snickered then smirked. "I wouldn't be so sure about that. Production of the machine is going a lot faster than we had imagined. The slaves are working day and night on this so it's only a matter of time before it's completed. Oh, and did I mention the fact that the machine was just started on a few months ago but wasn't continued until recently because Tatanga thought it would be a failure at first, but now he decided to go with it? It's more than halfway done, so I wouldn't get so cocky, my friends."

Everyone widened their eyes a bit. They all thought they had so much time to travel everywhere and get the gems, but it looks like they were wrong.

"Okay then...now, I also have a question to ask you. What color is my underwear!?" Peach randomly asked and smacked Doopliss/Rosalina.

"Ugh, PEACH! You're suppose to let him answer before you smack him! And besides, we all know that you wear pink underwear," Toad said.

"Well, thanks dude! We really appreciate all the information you have given us!" Fire Bro cheered and then kicked Doopliss/Rosalina in the face, sending him flying back and hitting the wall, knocking him out.

"FIRE BRO! What the hell did you do that for!? We could've gotten him to spill out more information!" Daisy yelled.

"I don't think so, Daisy. I mean, we all pretty much know what we need to know now. We know how Tatanga is going to do his 'world domination' plan and we also know that there's less time to get all the gems than we originally thought. There's really nothing more we should know," Rosalina pointed out.

"Good point. Right now, we need to suck up those big, bad ghosts and get that sparkly, cute gem! YEE!" Luigi cheered.

"Wait a second, Luigi. I still, like, haven't finished with my plan yet. Rosalina, this is where you come in. Since everyone in the room knows that Doopliss turned into Rosalina, they'll think that YOU are Doopliss if you pretend to be him and go in there! That way, you could sneak away the gem from King Boo and we can get out of here!" Goombella said.

"Wow! That's actually not a bad plan, surprisingly. Good job!" Birdo said, giving her a thumbs up.

"Thanks! Here to help, wanna live!" Goombella grinned.

"You...want me to do it? But...oh...I understand. I mean, I guess it's the easiest plan to do at this point, isn't it?" Rosalina said with a nervous look.

"Try not to worry, okay? We'll be right outside if you need us. And if something goes wrong, you could just...I dunno, scream as loud as possible?" Waluigi suggested. Rosalina smiled at him again and nodded her head.

"Also, try to make some of them come out of the room so we can dog pile on them and cause a riot! YAY RIOTS!" Fire Bro cheered.

"Wait, couldn't Rosalina just turn invisible? She could simply walk in there, grab the gem, and run off!" Toadette suggested.

Rosalina shook her head. "If I turn invisible, the ghosts in there will see me. They have a...different sense of vision than physical beings do, if I should say."

EOC.

So, the group has officially formed a plan to retrieve the gem. Will they be successful? Or will they fail, causing much chaos, blood, sweat, agony, tears, and hilarity?
