"Hello, you two." laughed King Boo maniacally. They were tied up in ropes, unable to escape.
"You two aren't our kind, but can. If you past the Ghostly Trials!" He cackled menacingly.
"What's in it for us?" asked Birdo, not afraid of him.
"You will die. And if you don't, you will also die." Replied the twisted mind of the King of the Ghosts.
It was a pristine mansion. Emerald shards hung from the ornate gold chandeliers. The walls bore a chequer board pattern, black and white. And the ceiling was made of twisted steel, the stuff of ghosts. It was encrusted with indigo-coloured rubies. And the throne was made of solid gold, illuminating and shimmering from the white candles' lights.
"Silly. I mean if you pass, you will become one of us. If not, you will just die." He pointed out to her.
They decided for a minute, and revealed their choice to him.
"We will."
A Dark, Spooky room in the mansion.
"If you want to be a ghost, you must be able to scare people well. Let's say these Shy Guys, for instance. If you scare'em enough, their masks will fall off. The next part is to go alongside them for twenty minutes without freaking out about their ugly faces! Mwahahahaha!" he boomed in his legitimately crazy tone.
Birdo and Yoshi whispered to each other how they can't be that scary. But those two had no idea. They popped back on the mask and headed in.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" They both shouted at the same time.
All the Shy Guys looked at them.
They gulped. That had not scared them. It had angered them.
And suddenly, out of nowhere, all the thousands of masks fell off. Part 1 complete!
Birdo was so shocked by their faces, she fainted. Yoshi screamed and prayed for mercy! They were abominations without their masks!
"FAIL!" the King thundered and cursed at them. His chuckles were lightening, scarring their ears.
"OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!" He shouted deafeningly. Yoshi could swear the organ was playing itself.
The Boo guards carried them to King Boo's executioner. This was bad.
They both struggled out of the ghost's hands, but they could simply not. It was only when Yoshi smacked the mask in their faces was when they made a run for it.
Another chase.
They ran along all the corridors, everything getting darker and darker.
A LAMP!
At the new hope, Yoshi stored the fire in his mouth and shot it at a wall. They had escaped!
The two rolled own the hills for a tiny break from all the madness. Time to make some more lifelong memories!
