I just realized that this story is officially two years old. Time sure flies, doesn't it?

GROUP 1 (Yoshi, Birdo, Toad, Toadette, Diddy, Dixie, DK, Fire Bro, Bowser Jr., Larry, Bombette, Lady SaSa):

The group entered a secret passageway with a walkway that led down.

"Oh boy, it's getting darker in here. We didn't bring any flashlights with us, did we?" Toad gulped.

"Nope, but we never thought we would need them anyways! I wish that bulb chick was in our group…" Dixie sighed.

"Her name is Watt! It's related to electricity for crying out loud! It's not that hard to remember!" Bombette barked.

"HEY! NO EGGING ON MY GAL PAL!" Fire Bro hissed.

Meanwhile, DK walked further ahead of the group, looking purely focused yet frustrated at the same time. Larry noticed this since he was right beside him.

"Are you okay, dude? You look like you're gonna twist someone's head off!" the koopa pointed out.

"I don't know…it's just…Larry…if I tell you something, will you promise not to judge me?" DK asked in a lower voice.

"Wow! This seems serious. Yes, I promise, but this is one of the FEW very very rare times you'll ever see me make a promise!" Larry declared, trying to look hardcore.

"Um…sure. Anyways, this may sound narcissistic, but…I'm really tired of people putting me on a pedestal. Obviously, not EVERYONE does it but some of these people make it sound like I'm a God and that I can do anything and everything. I mean, did you see the way Bombette and that freaky popstar girl were talking about me in that room? I don't wanna be known for some…I dunno…sexual object? And don't even get me started on those rated M fanfics and deviantart!" DK explained.

"…Yikes…well, I can definitely say that I've never heard of a problem like this before. But wait a second, you're a guy! Shouldn't you want everyone to see you as…'that'? People practically worship you!" Larry pointed out.

"Um just because I'm a guy doesn't mean I want to hump every single thing I see," DK sneered.

"I suppose so. Look man, people are gonna say what they wanna say about you. There's no stopping it. The only thing you can do is ignore it and not let it affect you. Trust me on this one. I've had PLENTY of people talk all kinds of crap to me in the past just because I'm a son of the Mushroom Kingdom's most hated koopa. Even if I were to separate myself from my family, people will still think of me as a bad person. I've gotten so use to it now, that I just brush it off and live my life how I want to. So…basically, let people say whatever they want and move on. No use dwelling on it," Larry speeched. DK was finally starting to understand now.

"Hey Toadette! Um, are you doing okay?" Bowser Jr. nervously asked.

"Uhh…yes, I am. Are you?" Toadette responded with a raised brow.

"Oh yeah! Totally! Nothing going wrong here!" Bowser Jr. laughed hysterically, creeping Toadette out a bit.

"…Okay then…um…Bowser Jr…it really feels like you have to tell me something important," Toadette said. Bowser Jr's eyes widened and almost stopped in his tracks.

"Wh-what makes you say that?" he yelped.

"I dunno, I just get that kind of vibe, if that makes any sense…"

"…I see…well…um…okay, you got me. Toadette…I like you. A lot. I actually have this little crush on you too. So…I was, um, kinda wondering if you wanted to, you know, go out on a date once we save the world from doom?" Bowser Jr. let it all out finally.

Toadette stopped and looked at the koopa kid with what looked like a ticked off expression. "Seriously? You're asking me out right now, in the middle of our mission!?"

Bowser Jr.'s hopes were immediately shattered. "Oh! Um…y-yeah. I just thought it would be better to tell you now! I couldn't bear to hold it in any longer!"

Toadette sighed and smacked her forehead. "No. Just no. How can you be focused on 'dating' right now when we're trying to stop a freaking alien from destroying the world!? Get your head together!"

Bowser Jr. dropped his jaw. He was definitely not expecting such a negative reaction!

"God, how long is this hallway? I feel like we're walking into the depths of hell right now," Birdo noted.

"Thanks honey, now I'm gonna start panicking about what could be at the end! Just for that, you're gonna be my shield!" Yoshi shrieked.

"Darling, please shut up. I've seen you fight before in Super Smash Brothers, you're strong enough to handle yourself," Birdo rolled her eyes.

"Okay, what is up with all this negative energy in here!? If you wanna survive, then you better show me some positivity! I gotta get some baby!" Lady SaSa cheered.

"Get some? You're talking about positivity, right? Or are you talking about something else?" Toad asked.

"Why, what else could I possibly be talking about?" the popstar innocently asked.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about! Keep your suggestive content to yourself!" Toad gagged.

The group finally reached the bottom of the walkway and all there was, was a door. Larry nervously reached for the knob…

…He then grabbed it…

…Then he took a deep breath in and out…

…Then he twisted the knob ever so slowly to the left…

…Then he took another deep breath in and out…

…He turned the knob some more…

"OH COME ON! HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO OPEN A FREAKING DOOR!?" Bombette impatiently yelled.

Larry shrieked at her yell and slammed open the door.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Yoshi screamed bloody murder.

"What the hell are you screaming at!? There's nothing there!" Diddy pointed out.

"Oh…um…I knew that! I just wanted to trick you all!" Yoshi obviously lied.

"It's just a…hallway. Wow. All that build up for nothing," Dixie said.

"Wait a second, does anyone smell that? I think it's coming from the hallway!" Toad exclaimed and ran in there with everyone else following. Everyone immediately had chills go down their spine. The atmosphere in that hallway was beyond eerie and the actual hallway itself looked like it hadn't been used in decades.

"Um…I…I'm assuming this is, um, one of the locations that was removed from Banjo-Kazooie?" Toadette nervously asked.

"No, this is WAY too creepy to be included in the actual game. Even if you were to hack the game to death, I highly doubt you would find this hall," Birdo answered.

"Well, what's even weirder is that this hall doesn't have any doors! Well, from what I can see anyways because it's so dark in here. But what was it used for? Should we try to explore it just in case the gem is down here?" Bowser Jr. questioned.

"We might as well because this would the perfect place to hide an incredibly valuable object. It's hidden well, it's creepy, and it's dark. No one would EVER think to look here," DK made a strong point.

"Brilliant observation my muscular hunk! My instincts tell me that we should go right! Because right is right! That makes sense, right?" Fire Bro said.

"Eee hee hee hee hee hee hee…"

Everyone's eyes widened when they heard this creepy, feminine laugh. It was coming from the direction they were going to.

"Uhhh…okay then! Now my instincts are telling me to go left, explore as quickly as possible, and then get the hell outta dodge!" Fire Bro screeched.

Toad snapped his fingers, realizing something. "Wait a second! That laugh sounds a lot like-"

"NO I DON'T WANNA KNOW! PLEASE LET'S JUST HURRY AND GET THIS OVERWITH BEFORE SOMETHING DARK AND MYSTERIOUS HAPPENS!" Toadette cried.

The gang quickly walked the opposite direction, the hallway getting darker the further they went.

"Anyone want me to sing a song in order to lighten the atmosphere?" Lady SaSa offered.

"HELL NO!" everyone else quickly responded.

"My oh my! It's as if this darkness is making you all have m-m-m-m-m-maaaaaadness! I have finally seen the light!" she exclaimed.

"Nah, we just think that you really suck at singing," Dixie dished it to her like it was no big deal.

The gang walked down another minute more until they reached the very end where DK bumped into something.

"Huh? What is this? Guys, there's something here…" DK said.

"Is it a door? I can't see anything!" Yoshi yelped.

"No no, it's something on the floor. I can move it around a bit and it seems big and heavy too," DK said.

"…Okay…my eyes are adjusting a bit to the darkness and…it looks like a box?" Diddy said.

"OH MY GOD! IS IT GOING TO COME ALIVE!?" Bombette shrieked.

"Look you guys! What the hell is that thing!? Over there!" Bowser Jr. frantically pointed and everyone turned around. In the distance, there was what looked like a ball of light in mid-air.

"What the hell? Could that be the others?" Birdo asked.

"No…that's…something else…" Larry gasped. The 'ball of light' was getting bigger. He realized what it was and screamed. "HOLY SHIT! IT'S A FUCKING FIREBALL! DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK!"

Everyone else screamed and dropped to the floor. The fireball whizzed on by and smashed into the wall, luckily not setting anything on fire.

"What the hell did that come from!? Who is down here with us!?" Yoshi yelled in panic.

"I KNEW IT! IT'S GRUNTILDA, THE FAT BITCH WITCH! SHE KNEW WE WOULD COME DOWN HERE AND NOW THAT THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN, SHE'S GOING TO EXTERMINATE US ALL!" Toad screamed.

"Um, guys? Is that what I think it is?" Bowser Jr. said and pointed back at the wall. A fuse was lit, and the light shone bright enough to see what said fuse was connected to.

A small TNT box.

"HOLY SHIT! RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN!" Yoshi screamed TRUE bloody murder this time and everyone ran as quickly as humanly possible. They successfully reached the door and got back into the hidden walkway before…

KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The explosion of the TNT box shook the ship incredibly hard and knocked everyone down. Flames bursted through the entire hallway, but it was quickly doused by immediate rushing water.

GROUP 2:

Mario, Peach, Luigi, Daisy, Bowser, Kammy, Wendy, Koops, Kooper, Koopie, Pauline, Waluigi, and Rosalina stared in fear at the rotating cogs and platforms that laid before them.

"So, um, I suggest we go across the first rotating platform one at a time that way there will be enough time between intervals for each person to safely make their way across," Mario said.

"No need! We can skip all the panicking and paranoia and crying by using my Timeslow ability, remember? It will make all this machinery go slow to the point where all of us can quickly make it to the middle of the room and maybe even have enough time to explore everything else in here!" Daisy excitedly suggested.

"Daisy, it's better if we use my magic to make everything in here 'stop'. Your ability only lasts temporarily and it makes you worn out at the end anyways," Rosalina interjected.

"Rosalina, it's fine. I've played through this level before. It's PLENTY of time to get past the first part of this room to get to the center platform, and from there, we'll be easily able to see if the gem is located in here or not," Daisy assured.

"No! I think it's a waste of an ability and a waste of time! Just let me use my magic, it's going to make everything ten times easier!" Rosalina raised her voice. Everyone else raised their eyebrows and looked at each other in surprise.

Daisy crossed her arms. "Alright then. Go ahead, Rosalina, since you wanna show off so bad."

Rosalina gulped and started feeling guilty and embarrassed. She never thought she would lose control like that on one of her friends.

She raised her hands out in front of her and sighed. "DESINE!"

A flashing sound was heard, then everything that was moving in the engine room stopped. All the cogs and platforms froze in place.

"Good job, space girl. Now then, I want everyone to go ahead of me and climb up those cogs first because I KNOW you're all gonna laugh at me as I struggle to climb on there!" Bowser demanded, showing his insecurity.

"Was I the only one here hoping that Daisy and Rosalina would get into a catfight? I mean, Rosalina would probably telekinetically lift Daisy up in the air and throw her at the wall a few times so I suppose it would be an unfair advantage…" Kooper said.

"Oh, shut up already. Everytime you speak, a kitten dies," Pauline scolded and walked on ahead.

"Wow! That was incredibly morbid. Has she been like that ever since she joined you guys?" Koopie asked.

"Pretty much…but I think she's trying to change cause something happened recently that really made her meltdown," Koops answered.

"She had a meltdown!? Pauline, of all people!? What the hell happened!?" Koopie gasped.

"Pauline made Kammy put a spell on Mario which made him fall in love with Pauline. Everyone eventually knew about it except for Peach, but once she did…she kinda melted down as well. Later on, Rosalina found out that Mario was under a love spell and we all got pissed off at Pauline, resulting in her said meltdown," Kooper told the story.

"Wow…and you guys just let her stay on the mission? You all do realize that she's a total biotch, right?" Koopie rolled her eyes.

"No shit! But since we're such irrelevant, unpopular characters, we have no input on it. I dunno, talk to Mario or Daisy about it…" Kooper shrugged.

The group went across the first, bridge-like platform, then climbed up a few enormous cogs, then got onto the platform that was in the exact middle of the room, allowing everyone to see what else was in there.

"Hey Rosalina, what the heck was that about back there? If Daisy wanted to use her ability, then you should've just let her instead of making a fuss about it!" Waluigi said.

"Making a fuss? I already explained why she shouldn't have to use her ability! I'm just trying to make things easier for everyone!" Rosalina had her temperature rise again.

"I know, I know! I just don't want any more stupid drama to happen again…and I ESPECIALLY don't want to see you hurt too!" Waluigi exclaimed.

Rosalina calmed down and gave a faint smile. "Thanks…I'm so sorry, I guess I'm just a lot more tired and stressed than I originally thought." She then kissed Waluigi and the stickman goofily smiled.

Mario examined the area. "Hmm…everything looks exactly the same as it does in the game. Nothing out of place, nothing particularly standing out, maybe we should go back?"

"Wait Mario! Do you see that thing at the wayyyy back of the room, in front of that window?" Peach pointed.

"The window? What…oh! You mean that white-ish looking thing? That could be the gem! I mean, it's located on an isolated platform with some obstacles to get there so yeah, that has to be it!" Mario exclaimed and hugged Peach in excitement.

"Are you sure that's the gem? It looks extremely small…the other gems that we retrieved before were a lot bigger…" Wendy also pointed out.

"It's probably just a fluke, then. No sense in wasting our time trying to get something that we don't need!" Bowser said.

"Hey Kammy, get on your broomstick and fly over there to make sure that it's the gem or not!" Kooper ordered.

"Does it look like I have my broomstick with me, you dunce!?" Kammy snapped.

"WHAT? You don't have it? What the hell kind of witch are you!? Don't you bring it with you everywhere?" Kooper exclaimed.

"You dummy! She hasn't had her broomstick ever since we all got captured! Where the hell has your mind been the past 24 hours?" Bowser insulted.

"It's probably been focused on a certain, overprotective blonde chick…" Wendy commented.

"W-what did you say, Wendy?" Koops asked, fearing what she really meant.

"ENOUGH! I shall use my magic to bring the gem to us and we will see if the object is legitimate," Rosalina shouted then started to concentrate hard. About 30 seconds passed by and nothing was happening.

"Rosalina…nothing is happening. Is your magic not strong enough for the gem?" Mario asked.

Rosalina sighed. "Possibly…these objects are incredibly mystical and contain such immense power and energy that I might not be powerful enough to even move them…"

"What? I used my magic to guide the gem back to me from that stupid bee back in Hyrule! That makes no sense! You must be doing it wrong!" Kammy growled, waved her wand around for a few seconds, and then made a blast of white energy that flew to where the gem was. The energy went right through it. Everyone shrieked as soon as it happened.

"WHAT THE!? That can't be possible! C-can it? I mean…we all saw that, right? That white stuff went through that thing like it wasn't even real…like a mirage!" Daisy exclaimed.

"Okay, now I'm more confused than ever. If Kammy was able to use magic on the gem in the previous world, then why couldn't it be done on this one?" Pauline asked.

"Maybe each gem has a different type of power to it? Maybe this one has some 'energy' that makes it protected from magic? I don't even know, this is all just a guess…" Daisy said.

"I'm gonna go over there and check just to be sure. All of you stay right here," Mario commanded but Luigi quickly intervened.

"No, bro! What if you slip or you hurt yourself? You're gonna need some backup and I refuse to take no for an answer!"

Mario frustratingly sighed at him, but then smiled. "Well…fair enough, I guess. Alright guys, stay right here. This will only take just a second…"

Mario went forward onto a large pipe with Luigi following closely behind. Everyone watched them in fear, hoping they wouldn't slip and fall into the hot oil below. The brothers climbed past a large fan that was thankfully stopped to Rosalina's magic and got onto the other side which was a continuation of the pipe.

Luigi was clearly more nervous than Mario, taking longer to cross than him. He tried his best not to look down and keep his cool.

The two made it onto the next platform and took a quick breather of relief. All there was left was another pipe that connected to another platform that had the gem located on it.

"Umm, y-you go ahead Mario. That platform is only a few feet away from here so, um, yeah, I'll just wait right here…" Luigi gulped, sort of regretting to come along with him. Mario smiled again and shook his head, finding his brother's cowardice slightly amusing yet he was understanding of it. He quickly walked across the next pipe like no big problem and made it to the gem.

He reached down to grab it…but his hand went through it!

"What the hell!? This…this isn't real, you guys! This gem is like a…hologram! It's fake!" Mario shouted. Everyone shrieked in surprise.

"A FAKE? How the hell is that possible!? How can someone even create something like that!?" Kooper asked.

"Well, when you're a witch, you can do almost anything…" Kammy mumbled, not referring to herself.

Suddenly, a loud booming noise was heard and the entire room shook heavily. Everyone screamed and fell to the ground. The pipe that connected the platforms that Luigi and the rest of the group was on loosened and fell down into the hot oil, but thankfully, the platforms still stayed structured. However, that wasn't the worst of it. Pauline slid off the platform but managed to grab the edge and was dangling in the air. The same thing happened to Mario.

GROUP 3 (Goombella, Goombario, Watt, Lakilulu, Parakarry, Wario, Mona, Jojora, Banjo, Kazooie, Vivian, and Flurrie):

Mona and Vivian stared in shock at a poster on the wall in front of the wall. In the game, the map is supposed to be there, but now…it was replaced by what looked like a huge photo of Koops falling down from a high window of some random building.

"M-M-Mona…th-that's photoshopped, right? O-or is it a drawing? That looks so realistic!" Vivian exclaimed, getting chills at how anyone could make something so cruel.

Mona leaned over and touched the poster. She gulped and withdrew her hand.

"Yeah, th-there's no way that's an actual photo. It's impossible. How the hell could someone even take a picture from that high up anyways? Well, unless they were able to fly of course. But even then, it doesn't explain why it shows Koops falling down from some window. That window looks like it's incredibly high up so there's no way he would be able to survive that fall," Mona explained, but she was still unsure and even a bit creeped out at how the photo looks extremely realistic and for the fact that this photo is here of all places.

"Well…either way, we should keep the photo just in case. Should we, um, tell Koops about this or the others?" Vivian asked.

"I'm not sure. As much as I would like to think that this 'photo' has no relevance…I can't help but feel like we should take it with us," Mona replied and was about to grab it till Vivian shrieked.

"WAIT! What is that!? On the bottom right corner!" the shadow siren pointed to an area that was purely sky besides the building.

"Huh? That looks like…some kind of spaceship? Wait a second…I also see Tatanga in it…no! Two Tatangas!" Mona gasped. Before the girls could say or do anything else, a snoring was heard. The two turned around and found everyone else asleep on the floor, snoring away. Mona and Vivian rolled their eyes and sighed.

"I'm guessing all that fighting tired them out…or whatever caused them to act out of character in the first place is now causing them to sleep," Vivian deduced.

"Don't worry sweetie, I know a way that will wake them up," Mona assured. She first snatched the photo of Koops, folded it up as small as she could, and then put it into her pocket. She then walked over to where everyone was sleeping and shouted, "YO! WAKE YOUR ASSES UP RIGHT NOW!"

Everyone immediately awoke and shrieked.

"What the hell, man!? I was having the best dream of my life! I was in a land filled with a never ending supply of donuts and garlic!" Wario complained.

"Of course you were, Wario. Do you think about anything else besides food?" Jojora asked.

"Um…chocolate milk?" Wario grinned.

"I don't remember falling asleep. What the hell happened?" Parakarry asked.

"You all started to act incredibly bizarre and OOC out of nowhere which ended up with you guys getting into a huge beatdown which ended up with you guys falling asleep," Mona summarized.

"We all must've been possessed by a demon! That's the only explanation I can think of!" Flurrie concluded.

"OR…Gruntilda the Witch Bitch placed some kind of hex or curse or whatever the hell you wanna call it on this room which made us go crazy and against each other," Kazooie theorized.

"Okay, so if she placed a curse on this room, then how come me and Vivian weren't affected by it?" Mona tried to make sense of this new 'theory.'

"Hell if I know! Witchcraft is freaking complicated! Be happy that we all didn't perform some satanic ritual!" Kazooie exclaimed.

"Anyways…while that was happening, me and Mona found a note on the countertop. We don't know who wrote it, but this person knew we were coming because they wrote that the pearl-like object, which I assume is the gem, is in an adjacent room from the engine room and wished us good luck," Vivian explained and passed the note around so everyone can see the proof.

"Adjacent to the engine room? That must be the Anchor Room. I know exactly where that is, but I can't recall seeing another door in that small room...there's only one way in and out of there. Guess there's only one way to truly find out, huh?" Banjo recalled.

"Well, this is clearly a girl who wrote the note. The handwriting is too nice to be a guy's," Jojora said.

"Nice job stereotyping there," Goombario called her out.

"Should we report this piece of info back to the others?" Goombella asked.

"Hell no! We got what we need so let's get there now instead of looking all over the ship for those guys!" Wario exclaimed.

"I must agree with him. It's better to go do it now and get it overwith before anything else happens, like say, the witch swooping down and throwing a bunch of magic at us and turning us into talking toilets," Parakarry added.

"Ooh, can I lead the way!? I've played this level in the game before so I know where everything is!" Lakilulu pleaded.

"YOU DON'T GET TO LEAD!" Jojora yelled at her.

"What!? Why the hell not!?" The lakitu gasped.

"BECAUSE I SAID SO!" Jojora screamed her answer.

"I believe this is one of the few times where a dumb response is perfect for this kind of situation," Goombario said. Banjo and Kazooie decided to the lead the way since they knew the place better than anyone else of course so they all got out of the map room and started power walking to the other end of the ship, where the anchor room was located.

"Hey Watt, I must ask you something. Please tell me I'm not the only person here who is somewhat suspicious of Banjo and Kazooie?" Goombella asked.

"Why would you be suspicious of them? Are you saying this because you don't trust bears and birds!?" Watt gasped.

"What? NO! I'm saying this because, look…Charmy and Amy, two people who don't even belong in our world, joined our group and look what happened with them…what the hell were Banjo and Kazooie, like, even doing in the Mushroom Kingdom anyways? I thought it was totally random to see them!" Goombella explained.

"Hmm…so are you saying they're gonna randomly turn evil and try to kill one of us and take the gem?" Watt asked.

"Possibly. I just find it odd how those two pop up out of nowhere and how everyone else accepted them into the group like it was nothing…maybe I'm just thinking too much into it," Goombella sighed, not wanting to put any kind of target on the bear and bird because there's not much proof that they would be up to something.

"Sooo…um…do we just keep an eye on them then?" Watt asked.

"Yeah, definitely. Please don't tell everyone else this though. I don't want everyone else to gang up on them and end up having more unneeded drama, especially if they turn out to be innocent," Goombella ordered.

"Oki doki! You can count on me! I'm super good at keeping secrets!" Watt excitedly squealed.

"Oh really? What about that time during last year's Christmas party where you blurted out that Diddy was the one who accidentally broke Peach's glass statue of Megaman?" Wario suddenly interrupted.

"What the!? Wario? Did you hear all of that!?" Goombella shrieked.

"Some of it. But don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I could care less how 'suspicious' they may seem until there's undeniable proof that they've got a hidden agenda," Wario shrugged. However, Wario had ulterior motives with this…

The group reached the opposite end of the ship.

"Alright everyone! We just jump down the pipe ventilator and we'll be in the room! I assume this door is very well hidden so we must search every nook and cranny for it, understand?" Banjo commanded and everyone nodded.

"Come on now! Let's get this overwith because we are so close to the gem that I can almost taste it and feel it rushing down my throat!" Goombario screeched and ran towards the left pipe ventilator. Banjo and Kazooie saw this and immediately freaked.

"WAIT, STOP! THAT'S NOT AN ACTUAL PIPE!" Kazooie shouted.

As Goombario was about to jump in, the 'pipe' came to life (called a Grimlet in the game), showing its yellow eyes and sharp teeth and chomped into Goombario's ankle.

"YOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW! OH MY GOD! HOW THE FUCK CAN SOME RANDOM PIPE JUST COME TO LIFE ALL OF A SUDDEN WITH A COMPLETE SET OF TEETH!? VIDEO GAME LOGIC SUCKS SOMETIMES!" He screamed bloody murder and the Grimlet wagged Goombario around with its 'mouth' like a ragdoll.

"Take this you loon!" Parakarry yelled and threw his shoe at the Grimlet. No effect. "Welp, I've done all I could."

Kazooie shot a grenade egg from her mouth and it hit the Grimlet, causing it to screech and let go of Goombario. The others dragged him away.

"Oh my god, his leg is bleeding! SOMEONE STOP THE BLEEDING RIGHT NOW BEFORE I THROW UP ALL OVER GOOMBARIO BECAUSE BLOOD MAKES MY SOUL QUEASY!" Flurrie yelled.

"Flurrie, shut up! Here, take this…" Mona tugged and ripped off her right short sleeve and wrapped it around Goombario's wound.

"Thanks, Mona. Just for that, I'm gonna go beg Nintendo to put you in a Mario spin-off game!" Goombario winked.

"Here, let me help you up. Are you able to stand?" Goombella asked.

"I think so…and in case anyone's wondering, no, I'm not gonna pretend like this wound is going to be the end of me and have people do unreasonable tasks like Kooper did!" Goombario clarified.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

The ship shook and everyone screamed and fell to the ground. Jojora and Watt fell backwards too far so they fell off the edge of the ship and into the oily water.

EOC.

Yikes, I was really expecting this chapter to be uploaded sooner but because the end of the semester is coming, I am forced to put my focus towards school. But fear not, as I'm already starting the typing of next chapter because I'm trying to get my updates to be more frequent like before. Next chapter, the ship starts to sink and all hell breaks loose (looser?) when they see a familiar character swoop in…
