Author's Note: What's up guys, episode 2 part I is FINALLY here. This time, however, it's gonna be written in a different format to make the story look more professional. I'm also trying to change the format for episode 1 as well, but I'm still having troubles trying to figure out how to get it to show. I'll figure it out eventually. Also, part II won't be out for some time, because I've been so busy with high school, especially since we only have like two weeks left to go from the area I live in. Once summer gets here, I'm going to have much more time on my hands to get this done. In the meantime, I hope you all enjoy this chapter.
Second Authors Note: Episode 1 has been fixed, so we no longer have to worry about that anymore. Thanks.
Ep. 2 He Just Called Me An Idiot -Daisy
Previously on the Amazing Race: Video Game Edition…
"GO!" yelled Toad.
Twelve teams of Nintendo characters began a race around the video game universe for one million dollars. The race started out with an intense challenge at the starting line.
"If a team is unable to bring me one of the right go-karts in time," exclaimed Toad, "they will be eliminated…right here."
One by one, teams brought the right go-karts to toad until only Popo & Nana and Ness & Lucas were left. Eventually, Ness & Lucas were able to find the correct go-kart and save themselves a spot in the amazing race… but unfortunately for Popo & Nana, it led to their immediate elimination.
"Popo & Nana…I'm very sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race."
"We never wanted to go out like this," said Nana.
"I guess when it comes down to it, there's not much control you have over this game," said Ike.
On the way to Luigi Raceway, Link & Zelda's go-kart broke down, "What the heck!?" cried Link. "The engine blew up!"
They ended up having to get a replacement go-kart. As a result, they went from first to worst, and ended up getting one of the latest tents at the racetrack.
"I'm sorry Link," said Donkey Kong, patting him on his shoulder.
A fast paced Roadblock around Luigi's raceway led to a lot of fun…
"YEAH, HOOO!" yelled Fox.
"But it also led to a lot of frustration for Bowser…"
"Jr., you freaking moron, you said you could handle this!"
"I am handling it, Dad, and quit calling me Jr."
"…As well as for Link."
"I can't get myself to win, Zel. I suck at this!"
"But with a little encouragement from Zelda…"
"It's just three more laps, Link, just do three more laps."
"..Link was eventually able to finish the task quickly."
"You did it, Link, nice job!" She then hugged him in congratulations.
"Pokémon Trainer and Lukario arrived at the mat first."
"Pokémon Trainer & Lukario," said Toad. "You are team number one!"
"YES!" Pokémon Trainer yelled. "WE WON!"
"Bowser & Bowser Jr. dropped one of their fruits which caused them to fall further behind."
"Bowser & Bowser Jr. You did not bring all of your bananas with you."
"You told me you had all of your bananas!" Bowser yelled.
"There really were ten banana batches in there, I swear!" replied Bowser Jr.
"But in a footrace against Bowser & Bowser Jr., it was Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong that fell short."
"Donkey Kong & Diddy Kong… I'm sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated from the race."
"We're very disappointed," said Donkey Kong, "but I'm very proud of Diddy. I'll never forget this experience."
"Ten teams remain. Who will be eliminated next?"
…
The scene showed DK's Jungle, and it's wonderful, luscious land.
"This is DK's Jungle," Toad, the host of the show, exclaimed, "a beautiful land filled with gorillas, turtles, and even banana thieves, and in the midst of it all is Donkey Kong's summer house, which was also the sight of the first pit-stop in a race around the videogame universe."
The scene then shifted to all the teams hanging out at the dinner table together eating dinner.
"At the pit-stop, teams were given the opportunity to eat, sleep, and mingle with the other teams. Will Pokémon Trainer & Lucario be able to stay in the front of the pack, and can Bowser & Bowser Jr. be able to pull themselves out of last place, and learn how to work together better as a team. Pokémon Trainer & Lucario, who were the first team to arrive at 12:42 pm, will depart first at 12:42 am."
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: 1st to Depart, 12:42 am
P.T. ripped open the clue and started reading it.
"Make your way to Luigi's Mansion."
"Teams must make their way to Luigi's Mansion, one of the scariest places in Mushroom Kingdom," said Toad. "To get there, teams will have to travel by a warp pipe. Teams must drive 10 miles to the pipe station and pick numbers to see who will leave first. Each team will be leaving five minutes before every other team. The first departure is going to be at 2:30 am. Once the teams are at Luigi's Mansion, they must go inside the laboratory next to the mansion, and find a professor named Elvin Gadd, who will give them their next clue."
"Alright, let's go," said Lucario.
P.T. & Lucario then got into their go-kart that they obtained from the last leg of the race.
"So, we have to go to the warp pipe station?" said P.T. "But we don't even know where that is."
"That's part of what this game is all about;" Lucario replied. "You don't where you're going until you get there."
"Ok then, but we're going to need a map."
CONFESSIONAL:
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: Best Friends
"I've never felt so excited for anything big like this in my entire life, besides Pokémon training of course," said P.T. "After coming in first yesterday, I really feel like we can actually really win this!"
END:
SAMUS & PIKACHU: 2nd to Depart, 12:47 am
Samus ripped open their clue and she started reading it.
"You must head to the warp pipe station to get to Luigi's Mansion. Alright, come on Pikachu, let's ride."
"Yep, pika."
NESS & LUCAS: 3rd to depart, 12:49 am
Lucas ripped open their clue and started reading it.
"You must pick numbers to see who will go first. All right then, well I'm ready."
"Good," said Ness, "so let's roll."
Ness & Lucas got into their go-kart and drove off to get to the Warp Pipe station. While they were driving through the jungle, they saw Samus & Pikachu in their go-kart on the side of the road. They looked a bit lost.
"Hey, guys, what's going on?" Ness asked.
"We're lost," Pikachu exclaimed, "we don't know where to go, pika."
"Ness and I are going to get a map," said Lucas, "you want to come with us?"
"Yeah, sure, we'll go with you," said Samus.
"Yeah, let's go, pika," said Pikachu excitedly.
CONFESSIONAL:
SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best Friends
"Samus isn't exactly the most social person out there in the world, so I thought it was a great idea for us to work together with Ness & Lucas," Pikachu replied. "I thought it would help Samus learn to interact with people better, so I was glad when Samus agreed for Ness & Lucas to work with us, pika."
NESS & LUCAS: Best Friends
"We actually Like Samus & Pikachu," said Lucas, "They play hard and they play to win, but they also play fair and play clean while doing it, and I think that's really cool."
END:
MARIO & LUIGI and MARTH & IKE: 4th & 5th to depart, 1:00 am
Mario and Ike ripped open their teams' clues and started reading them.
"Make your way to-a Luigi's Mansion," said Mario.
"Say what?" said Luigi, a bit surprised.
"Once you're there, you must go to the laboratory that's next to the mansion," said Ike.
"All right, let's get out of here," said Marth.
CONFESSIONAL:
MARIO & LUIGI: Plumbers/Brothers
"Luigi and I are going to be doing our-a very best to be playing the cleanest game that anyone could ever play," said Mario. "We don't-a want karma to go against us, so we're only planning on doing good things while playing the game."
"Yep," said Luigi.
END:
"Hey, Luigi," said Ike, "what's the story behind you and your mansion? I mean did you really buy it?"
"I-a didn't," Luigi exclaimed. "I just-a won it in a contest that I didn't even enter in."
"Man, you're so lucky."
"Not-a really," he exclaimed. "You see, the-a mansion is a "haunted" mansion. In fact, the contest was just-a made up by Bowser in another one of his-a evil schemes, and I ended up in a very scary adventure because of him.
"Is that so?" said Marth.
CONFESSIONAL:
MARTH& IKE: Rivals
"It's becoming very clear to us that Bowser is not a very nice person, not even his son is very nice," Marth replied, "so we knew at that point that if Bowser and Bowser Jr. had any tricks up their sleeves, we were going to have to watch ourselves, and steer clear of those two."
END:
Pokémon Trainer & Lucario had already obtained a map and was still driving around the area trying to find the Warp Pipe station.
"All right," said Lucario, "so the map says that if we just continue going in this direction, we'll be able to find it."
Pretty soon, they were able to find it.
"Look, there it is," said P.T. "We're here."
P.T. & Lucario then got out of their go-kart, went into the station, and found the stand containing the numbers. P.T. grabbed #1 off of it.
POKEMON TRAINER & LUCARIO: 1st team to warp at 2:30 am
"All right!" cried P.T. "We're gonna be the first ones to leave! This is awesome."
"Now, let's see," said Lucario, looking up at the clock on the wall, "according to the clock, we're going to be leaving in two hours. That should give us enough time to rest.
Meanwhile, Ness & Lucas and Samus & Pikachu were able to obtain a map, and both teams were on their way to the station. Ness & Lucas were shown driving in front of Samus & Pikachu.
"Alright, the map says we have to go left on this intersection," Lucas replied.
"Alright, left it is," said Ness.
Meanwhile…
"Alright, they're going left, Pikachu," said Samus as she started turning left as well.
Meanwhile…
"Hey, Ness," said Lucas, "See if you can crank up the music."
"Yeah, good idea."
Ness cranked up the music even louder and they were shown living it out in their go-kart. Samus & Pikachu were listening and they were pretty amused by it.
"You know, I really like Ness & Lucas," said Pikachu, "they're just so full of energy and they know how to have fun. We should probably follow their example more often, pika."
"Yeah, maybe."
Soon, Ness & Lucas and Samus & Pikachu were able to find the station, and were the next two teams to find the stand containing numbers. Lucas grabbed #2 off of the stand, while Samus grabbed #3.
NESS & LUCAS: 2nd team to warp at 2:35 am SAMUS & PIKACHU: 3rd team to warp at 2:40 am
"Looks like we're going to be leaving five minutes after Pokémon Trainer & Lucario," said Ness. "That's not too bad."
"We fell a little far behind," said Pikachu, "but that's ok. It'll only be five minutes after all, pika."
"Yeah, its okay I guess," said Samus.
FOX & KRYSTAL: 6th to depart, 1: 03 am
Fox ripped open their clue and started reading it.
"Once you're in the laboratory, you must find Professor Elvin Gadd."
"Fox, I'm a bit anxious about this," said Krystal. "I hear Luigi's Mansion is supposed to be haunted, and you know I don't like haunted houses."
"Don't worry about it, Krystal, you'll get through it. Besides, you'll have me by your side, remember?
"Yeah, Okay."
CONFESSIONAL:
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"Krystal and I are definitely having a really good time running this race so far," said Fox, "we were given the opportunity to race on go-karts, and I can't wait to see what's next."
"I just hope I don't end up losing this thing for Fox and I for any particular reason," said Krystal, "I really want us to go far in this race so we can have a good adventure and possibly end up winning."
END:
PEACH & DAISY and KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: 7th & 8th to depart, 1:15 am
Peach and Jigglypuff ripped open their clues for their teams and started reading them.
"Hurry, hurry, numbers are first come, first served," said Peach.
"You sure you'll be ok?" Daisy asked Peach, "because I here Luigi's Mansion is supposed to be haunted."
"We're princesses," said Peach, "princesses are supposed to face anything intimidating or anything scary head on."
"All right, then, good to see you came prepared."
CONFESSIONAL:
PEACH & DAISY: Princesses/Best Friends
"Our game started off a bit rocky at first, but we're not giving up," said Daisy.
"Yeah, we may have been kidnapped tons of times in the past, but that doesn't mean we're quitters," said Peach. "Our main goal is to just overcome all obstacles and get to the very end."
"Yeah, we don't want to get eliminated, "said Daisy. "I mean, it doesn't matter whether its third place, or second place, or even first place, we just want to get the end, and prove ourselves worthy of anything."
END:
"ALL RIGHT!" said Jigglypuff all excited. "We're gonna be exploring a haunted mansion! This is gonna be AWESOME!"
"Ok? …That's very odd," said Kirby, who was starting to feel a bit nervous around Jigglypuff.
"Oh, don't be so hard on her, Kirby," Peach replied. "She's just showing that she's not afraid of anything."
"Yeah, and you know what, you should use that to your advantage in this leg," said Daisy. "It could help you get further ahead."
"All right then, I guess I will," said Kirby.
CONFESSIONAL:
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: Long Distance Dating
"Maybe it's because of the fact that Jiggly and I have been in a long distance relationship that I sometimes find her annoying," said Kirby, "but that doesn't mean I don't love her, I actually love her with all my heart."
"There are times where we clash with each other, and don't agree with each other," said Jigglypuff, "but you know what? That doesn't even matter, because as far as our love for each other is concerned, nothing can keep us apart, not even long distances. That's right! WE'RE THE BEST COUPLE EVER!"
Kirby just stared at her with a blank face.
"Poyo," Kirby sighed.
END:
Mario & Luigi and Marth & Ike were the next two teams to arrive at the green pipe station. Once both teams saw the number stand, Luigi pulled off #4 and then Ike pulled off #5.
MARIO & LUIGI: 4th team to warp at 2:45 am MARTH & IKE: 5th to warp at 2:50 am
"Leaving fourth is-a pretty awesome, but going back to that scary mansion WON'T-A be very awesome," said Luigi.
"Don't-a worry about it, you'll survive," said Mario. "Just-a like you did last time."
"I wish we were able to leave first instead of fifth," said Ike, "but I guess it's better than leaving last."
"Hey guys," said Pikachu, "how have y'all been doing, pika?"
"Yeah, how's it going?" said Pokémon Trainer.
"We're doing great, thanks," Ike replied.
"I'm-a doing pretty good too," Luigi replied as well. "…Oh yeah, and so is Mario."
Luigi was still feeling very nervous about going back to the mansion that he was starting to not even think straight. Just then, Fox & Krystal entered the station. Fox grabbed #6 off of the stand.
FOX & KRYSTAL: 6th team to warp at 2:55 am
"So far, we're still in the middle of the pack," said Fox, "but if Krystal is able to conquer her fears of haunted places and ghosts, we'll hopefully be able to get further ahead."
"I feel for ya, Krystal," said Luigi. "I don't-a like things that are scary either."
CONFESSIONAL:
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"I really like Mario & Luigi because Mario knows how to turn the worst moments into fun," Krystal replied, "and I also like how Luigi and I are able to relate to each other on how we don't like anything that has to do with the supernatural. He also seems to have this affect on women that gets women to really fall for him."
"Wait, you're saying you're falling for him?" said Fox, feeling a bit suspicious.
"Oh, Fox. You know my heart will always belong to you."
The two vulpine then made out with each other.
END:
LINK & ZELDA: 9th to depart, 1:30 am
Zelda ripped open their clue and started reading it.
"Once you find the professor, you'll receive your next clue."
"All right, we gotta hurry," said Link, feeling pretty anxious.
CONFESSIONAL:
LINK & ZELDA: Newly Dating
"On the first leg of the race," Link replied. "Zelda and I were pretty much given a mulligan by the universe by coming in ninth. The fact is, is that, we were the last team to leave the Roadblock due to my frustration & inability to win the go-kart race, so we thought we were going to come in last and be eliminated."
"Coming in ninth just showed us that you can't ever give up on anything, whether you're in last place or not," said Zelda.
END:
Before Link & Zelda got into their go-kart, Zelda stopped Link to see if she could try to drive the go-kart herself.
"Wait a minute Link. I haven't driven the go-kart yet. Let me see if my driving the go-kart will get us there faster."
"Gee, I don't know, Zelda," said Link.
"Please!" she said, giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, Alright," said Link, "just be very careful, Zel."
"I'm always careful, Linky-boy," said Zelda as she got in the driver's seat of the go-kart.
Before Link could question being called "Linky-boy," however, Zelda had pushed too hard on the gas and they both went flying into a coconut tree. A bunch of coconuts ended up falling on Link's head, giving him a headache as a result. Link just frowned as he was now in pain, and this was only the beginning of leg two for crying out loud.
"Sorry," said Zelda.
That's when Link immediately had Zelda switch places with him. Link may have sucked at the Roadblock in the last leg, but at least HE was a much better driver than Zelda was.
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: Last to depart, 1:40 am
Bowser Jr. ripped open their clue and started reading it.
"Numbers are first come first served, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
"Ok, come on son," said Bowser, "let's get moving."
"Looks like we're going to that haunted Mansion that that cowardly Luigi "owns." That should give us an advantage," said Bowser Jr.
"It better give us an advantage. We HAVE to get ourselves in the front of the pack; otherwise, I'll be furious."
Bowser Jr. just shook his head and rolled his eyes at this.
CONFESSIONAL:
BOWSER & BOWSER JR: Father/Son
"Ok, so our first leg together didn't start off so good," said Bowser Jr., "but, at least we're still in it. Still, I want to be the leader, and not my Dad. I just think I'm a much better candidate for the role of leader."
"I'm way better at leading than anyone else that I know of," said Bowser. "My son, on the other hand, he's terrible at leading. I mean, the way that he lost one our fruit in yesterday's challenge ultimately proves that." (Of course, it was actually 'him' that lost one of their fruits, and not Bowser Jr.)
END:
Meanwhile, back at the station, Pikachu and Lucario were practicing battling with each other. Pokémon Trainer, Samus, and Marth & Ike were all teaching each other some fighting techniques. Ness & Lucas were playing rock, paper, scissors, and Mario & Luigi and Fox & Krystal were talking about their past adventures. Suddenly, Peach & Daisy and Kirby & Jigglypuff were the next two teams to arrive. Everyone cheerfully greeted them and showed them the number stand. Jigglypuff grabbed #7 and Peach grabbed # 8.
KIRBY & JIGGLYPUFF: 7th teams to warp at 3:00 am PEACH & DAISY: 8th team to warp at 3:05 am
"Yes, we're lucky number seven!" said Jigglypuff. "This is just so awesome!"
"Does anything ever faze this girl?" Ike asked Kirby.
"Nope," said Kirby, shaking his head.
"At least we're still ahead of Bowser & Bowser Jr.," said Peach. "That's the main thing."
A few minutes later, Link & Zelda were the next team to arrive at the station, and they were cheerfully greeted there as well. Link then saw the number stand and pulled #9 off of it.
LINK & ZELDA: 9th team to warp at 3:10 am
"Good thing we're not leaving last," said Zelda, "so that should be good."
"So, the only team that hasn't shown up yet is Bowser & Bowser Jr.," Link guesses. "Am I right, Fox?"
"Yep," Fox replied.
"All right, good."
"Hey, y'all talking about us?!" said Bowser, out of nowhere.
Everyone then stopped doing what they were doing as soon as they saw Bowser & Bowser Jr. coming into the station. There was then an awkward silence as Bowser picked the last number off of the stand.
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: Last team to warp at 3:15 am
After that, Bowser & Bowser Jr. just isolated themselves from everyone. The other teams were obviously not very ecstatic to see them, especially for the way they acted in the last leg. At that moment, teams decided to take the opportunity to talk to the camera about what they thought about Bowser & Bowser Jr.
MARTH & IKE: Rivals
"There was just an awkward silence when Bowser & Bowser Jr. got here," said Marth. "Clearly, those two are not off to a real good start; reputation wise.
SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best Friends
"So far, nobody likes them," said Samus, "but since this is still only the beginning of the race, let's just hope they're not going to burn bridges with anyone just yet."
LINK & ZELDA: Newly Dating
"I think Bowser & Bowser Jr. are really starting to become outsiders right now," said Zelda.
NESS & LUCAS: Best Friends
"We're not sure about those two yet," said Ness, "so we're just going to wait and see what they plan on doing before we judge them. Right now, I'm just glad they're in last place."
Ten minutes later, it was Pokémon Trainer & Lucario's turn to leave by warp pipe. Lucario went in the pipe first, and then P.T. went in. The pipe ride was actually pretty fun, especially for Pokémon Trainer, who was screaming with joy the whole way to Luigi's Mansion. Once they got there, P.T. & Lucario jumped out of the green pipe and then, they suddenly found themselves in Boo woods.
"Man!" said P.T. "This place is really creepy!"
"Don't worry," said Lucario, "if anything scary does jump out in front of us, I'll be sure to attack them."
P.T. & Lucario then got out their headlights and found a sign that said:
"Luigi's Mansion: dead ahead."
P.T. gulped in response to what the sign said, but he nevertheless chose to maintain a can-do attitude as he and Lucario continued along the trail through the woods. Soon, they saw the gate that stood in front of the mansion.
"That must be the gate to Luigi's Mansion," said P.T.
"Well, come on them, let's go!" Lucario beckoned him as they headed toward him.
When they both got to the gate however, they saw a sign on it saying:
Luigi's Mansion: Open from 5 am to 11 pm
"Looks like this place is closed," said Lucario, "we're going to have to wait a few more hours."
"Crap!" said P.T. "That means it's back to square one again!"
A few minutes later, Ness & Lucas, who were the next team to leave the station, jumped out of their pipe. Once they both got out, they then followed the same trail that Pokémon Trainer & Lucario went through. Soon, they saw P.T. & Lucario at the gate and immediately went over to them.
"Lucario," said Ness, "is this place closed?"
"I'm afraid so," he said, "we're going have to wait here a few more hours."
"Aw man, more waiting!?" said Lucas, feeling a bit upset at what he just heard.
Back at the station, Bowser & Bowser Jr. continued to awkwardly wait with the other teams. It was then Samus & Pikachu's turn to leave, and Bowser Jr., who was tired of all the tension, attempted to make small talk with Mario & Luigi.
"Hey-ya, you're not still mad at me for throwing that spiny shell at you at the racetrack, are you?"
"Well," Mario replied. "I pretty much got-a back at you by beating you, so we're pretty much even."
"And don't forget," said Luigi, "you ran into his fake item box when you weren't looking."
Everyone suddenly couldn't help but laugh at what Luigi said, leaving Bowser Jr. red in the face.
"I-I could've avoided that item box no sweat! Even a dumb canine could've avoided it."
"Hey!" said Fox, feeling a bit offended.
"Oh, give it a rest, Bowser Jr.," said Daisy, "false item or not, everybody won their races fair and square, and you know it."
"Oh, please," said Bowser Jr. "You're too much of a distressful little idiot, you wouldn't understand."
Everyone immediately gasped at what Bowser Jr. just said to Daisy, a.k.a. a "women."
"Why you little-!"
Link & Luigi immediately stopped her before she could do anything nasty.
"I'm gonna kill him, I'm gonna freak'n kill him!"
The scene did not look pretty; Daisy was full of rage, and at that moment, every one gave Bowser Jr. the 'you just messed up' sort of look. Bowser immediately pulled his son away from the other teams and took him to a corner.
"Jr., you freaking moron! You don't call a woman an idiot, especially in-front of a bunch of people!"
"Me!? What about you?! You're always calling ME stupid and stuff!"
"That's because I am your father and that is my right. You on the other hand have no right to call a woman an idiot, not even "I" do. It's now thanks to you that the other teams dislike us even more!"
"Oh, come of it. Besides, I'm sure if we just give Daisy enough time, she'll get over it…right?"
"No son, I'm afraid she WON'T get over it if we just 'give her enough time!' Women are very sensitive when it comes to what men say about them! Even "I" am aware of that! Now it's thanks to you that Daisy will be planning her revenge on us WHILE WE ARE STILL ON THE RACE! That means we could end up LOSING because of this! It's bad enough that we're in last place as it is. Now sit down, and don't say anything ELSE!"
Meanwhile, Samus & Pikachu had gotten out of the green pipe, and went on over to the gate in front of Luigi's Mansion.
"Hey, what's going on, pika," said Pikachu when he saw Ness & Lucas and P.T. & Lucario waiting outside the gate.
"This place is going to be closed for a bit, so we're going to have to wait," said Ness.
"Yeah, that means all the teams are going to be back together again thanks to this," Lucas added.
"Aw man, Pika," said Pikachu, feeling pretty disappointed.
Samus, on the other hand, said nothing as she just stood next to the gate. Of course, she was also a bit disappointed herself.
Daisy, meanwhile, was still very steamed at what Bowser Jr. said to her. Peach, Krystal and Jigglypuff were all trying to calm her down. That, however, did not mean that "they" were ok with it. All of the women that were there were mad at Bowser Jr. for that sexist comment. Bowser Jr. was just lucky that Samus wasn't there to hear him say that, because she would've attack him if she did. Mario & Luigi then had to leave next, so they were lucky to escape the anger from all the women, but not without them saying goodbye to the Peach & Daisy, of course. They were their girlfriends after all.
"I can't believe it!" said Daisy. "He just called me idiot! An idiot! Oh, I'll show him, I'll SHOW him!"
"It's all right, Daisy," said Krystal, "you have every right to be mad at him for saying that to you. I'm not happy with him for doing that either."
"Yeah," said Peach. "Besides, you're a princess like me, so if he calls you an idiot, then he calls me an idiot too."
"Same here since I'm a princess as well," said Zelda.
"And I may not be royalty –even though I want to- but I believe he called me an idiot too!" said Jigglypuff.
Bowser was listening to them talk from a distance.
"Aw great!" said Bowser. "Now ALL of the women want revenge on us. Smooth move, son!
"Give me a break, Dad."
Back at the gate to Luigi's Mansion, the other three teams that were waiting there then saw Mario & Luigi arrive at the gate. Apparently, they had concerned looks on their faces.
"What's wrong with you guys," said Pikachu, "what happened at the station, pika?"
"Oh, uh," said Luigi while he was shivering with nervousness, "you don't-a want to know."
"Oh, come on, just tell us," said P.T.
"Yeah, its ok guys, you can tell us, pika," said Pikachu.
"Well," said Luigi, "it's-a like this, see… when we were waiting for our turn to leave, Bowser Jr. tried to make-a small talk with us. That is until… until…"
"You see," said Mario trying to help, "we ended up in an argument over yesterday at the-a Roadblock, and then Daisy came in on our-a conversation. She said everyone won their races fair and square, and yati, yati, yata, and then…well, Bowser Jr. called her a (gulp) …an idiot."
"WHAT!?" said Samus all of a sudden.
Samus then got out her machine gun and shot an energy ball into the ground. She got so angry that Pikachu and Lucario went over to her and tried to calm her down.
"Samus, Samus, its all right, it's all right, pikaaa," said Pikachu.
"No, it's not all right!" said Samus. "It's just not right at all! Oh, if only I was there I would've beaten the crap out of that little pipsqueak! No one and I mean NO ONE messes with women!"
"Samus, look, I'll help make sure of it that Bowser Jr. gets what he deserves, pika."
Pokémon Trainer & Lucario, Ness & Lucas, and Mario & Luigi all promised to help out with that as well. This made Samus feel a lot better.
"Thanks, you guys."
"Oh, don't thank us. It's the least we can do. WOAHH!" said Luigi, who then suddenly slipped off one of the rails of the gate, and then fell flat on his face.
Samus couldn't help but give a slight giggle at this in response. Krystal was right, Luigi DID have that effect that made even HER like him, even though Daisy was still his girlfriend.
Meanwhile, back at the station, it was Marth & Ike's next turn to leave by warp pipe. Daisy had calmed down a bit, but deep inside, she was still mad at Bowser Jr., and she probably always would be until she got her revenge. All of the men in the station that witnessed the event were also taken aback by what Bowser Jr. said. It was because of this that Fox, Kirby and Link chose to comfort their girlfriends to show them that they cared. It was now becoming relatively clear at the moment that nobody liked Bowser & Bowser Jr. at all.
CONFESSIONAL:
LINK & ZELDA: Newly Dating
"It's official," said Zelda. "Bowser & Bowser Jr. are not nice people, nor should I even call them people at all!"
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"Those two have now gone too far," said Fox. "I would never say that any women, especially not to my love Krystal."
"Absolutely," said Krystal, "those two really need to apologize."
BOWSER & BOWSER JR.: Father/Son
"I guess this means we'll have to race even harder if we want to win, now that every team is after us," said Bowser, "thanks to my SON that is."
Bowser Jr. just rolled his eyes.
SAMUS & PIKACHU: Best Friends
"Bowser Jr. can kiss my butt; he should never have called her that!" said Samus. "Win or lose, I'm gonna enjoy watching him and his father go down!"
PEACH & DAISY: Princesses/Best Friends
"It is officially ON!" said Daisy.
END:
…
The scene then shifted back to the gate at Luigi's Mansion, and Marth and Ike became the next team to arrive.
"Oh no, is the place closed?!" Marth asked Ness.
"Yep," he confirmed.
"Man, this sucks!" said Ike.
"Now this means its back to square one again," said Marth. "This leg was obviously not planned out very good."
"I'll say," said Lucas.
Meanwhile, back at the green pipe station, Fox & Krystal were the next ones to leave by warp pipe.
"All right, it's our turn, Krystal," said Fox, "let's get out of here."
"Right behind you," she said while still giving Bowser Jr. a dirty look.
Fox & Krystal then went inside the green pipe screaming with joy. While Kirby and Jigglypuff were watching them, Jigglypuff was jumping up and down looking extremely vivacious.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, we're leaving next! This is just so wonderful, isn't it wonderful, Kirby!?"
"Yeah, it is wonderful, Jiggs," Kirby replied as he actually understood how Jigglypuff felt.
Bowser just shook his head and rolled his eyes in annoyance as he did not like Jigglypuff's "cheery" personality. Meanwhile, Fox and Krystal had made it to the other side of the warp pipe and were then shown in Boo woods.
"Alright!" said Fox. "We made it!
"That was so awesome, Fox," said Krystal. "I mean, that was just so amazing!"
"Oh yeah, well I'm glad you had fun. Come on, lets go find the entrance to Luigi's Mansion."
"Oh yeah… of course," said Krystal, changing her mood to a nervous one as she had forgotten that they still had to go inside a haunted mansion. They were soon able to find the gate to the mansion, where the rest of the teams were waiting."
"Hey-a Guys," said Mario, who was happy to see them.
"Hey Mario, what's going on?" said Fox wondering why everyone was not in the mansion right now.
"It's-a closed."
"Closed?" said Krystal a bit shocked.
"Yep, it won't-a be open for several hours," P.T. added.
"Oh well," said Krystal. 'At least that still gives me time for what's up ahead,' she thought to herself.
Pretty soon, they all heard Kirby & Jigglypuff coming over to the gate next. Jigglypuff came out screaming her head off with joy and excitement, while Kirby just was just covering his ears trying to prevent deafness.
"Woo, hoo! We're here!" said Jigglypuff screaming. "That pipe ride was just so AWESOME!"
"Hey Jigglypuff," said Krystal, "good to see you."
"Good to see you too. Wasn't that pipe ride awesome!?"
"Why of course, it definitely was very awesome."
CONFESSIONAL:
FOX & KRYSTAL: Dating
"Jigglypuff is definitely the most excitable girl that I have ever met in my life," Krystal replied. "She practically knows how to always have fun."
"Yeah," Fox agreed. "I think Kirby is definitely lucky to have someone like her."
"Now Fox, just what exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"Huh? Oh! Uh... well… you know Jigglypuff, she's… you know… uh…well…eh, you know what I mean."
Krystal just raised her eyebrow at him.
END:
Kirby continued rubbing his ears from all of Jigglypuff's shouting, but he was still happy, and nevertheless kept a positive attitude. Meanwhile, back at the station, Peach & Daisy were the next ones to leave by warp pipe. They continued to give Bowser & Bowser Jr. the look as if they were thinking 'I'm coming after you,' despite the fact they have been kidnapped by them numerous times in their past adventures.
"Just forget about those losers, Son," said Bowser. "We don't need them."
Meanwhile, Peach & Daisy were enjoying their turn riding the green pipe to Luigi's Mansion. They were both laughing and screaming with excitement so much, that Daisy had forgotten all about Bowser Jr.
"Yeah, Hoo," cried Peach, "that was awesome as always."
"Are you kidding?" said Daisy. "It was VERY awesome."
They then followed the path that led to Luigi's Mansion. Soon the other teams saw them coming.
"Look," said Jigglypuff. "Peach & Daisy are here!"
"Hey girls," said Krystal.
"Hello," said Peach. "Hey, why is everyone just standing around over here?
"I'm afraid it's closed, your highnesses," said Lucario. "We're going to have to continue waiting a bit longer."
"What, are you kidding me?!" said Daisy, who was now feeling very aggravated. "Great, now Bowser & Bowser Jr. are going to catch up to us again! This just isn't right!"
"Don't worry about it, Daisy," said Peach. "They'll get their comeuppance soon enough."
A few minutes later, it was Link & Zelda's turn to leave. They, of course, enjoyed the pipe ride a lot. Once they got to Boo woods, they got out of the green pipe and greeted the other teams once they had arrived at the gate.
"Wait a minute," said Zelda. "What's going on?"
"The mansion is closed," Luigi responded this time.
"Then we'll have to wait a bit longer. Sigh," said Link.
Back at the station, Bowser & Bowser Jr. were ready to FINALLY get their turn to leave. Bowser Jr. however looked a bit nervous as he was now starting to regret that he ever said anything. Bowser, meanwhile, was starting to get uptight about the whole situation.
"From now on, son, you do what I say, and do NOT say anything else to the other teams," said Bowser. He was now getting more serious about winning than ever before.
Bowser Jr. however was not paying attention, nor did he even care. It was then their turn to leave, so Bowser went in the warp pipe first, and then Bowser Jr. went in. Soon, they arrived in boo woods and followed the trail to the gate where the rest of the teams were waiting. Once they had arrived, the other teams were obviously not very thrilled to see them, especially Daisy. Bowser then suddenly saw the sign that said that the mansion was closed, and he was then suddenly filled with relief and evil satisfaction. With the mansion closed, that meant all the teams had to wait until it opened. To Bowser, this meant that this was giving him and his son a great opportunity to get in the front of the pack. Bowser was then laughing with evil satisfaction.
"Ha, ha, ha! Well son, it looks like we're in luck. With all the teams gathered around here, we're sure to beat them."
"You're right," said Bowser Jr. "Ha, ha, ha! Nothing will stop us now! Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha…"
Bowser & Bowser Jr. continued their obnoxious evil laughing for a long time. This really got on everyone's nerves, especially Pikachu's.
"Pikachuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!" said Pikachu as he performed a thunderbolt on them to get them to shut up. They both ended up in a crispy state with smoke coming out of them as a result. That seemed to have helped.
Still, everyone was extremely worried about what was going to happen very soon. Not only was there now a good chance that Bowser & Bowser Jr. could possibly get ahead of them all, but everyone knew completely that the mansion was going to be extremely scary for almost everyone, especially for Krystal and Luigi. There was no telling what was going to happen up ahead, and all the teams knew they were not going to like it.
"Well," said Ike, "I'm not going to let some stupid mansion phase me. Marth and I came here to win that million dollars, and nothing is gonna stop us!"
