"Let's keep going." SMG4 led the way with his torch lighting up the dark caverns. There was nothing to see other than the occasional rat, that is until they hit a dead end.
"Ah shit!" SMG4 threw his torch down in frustration, and somehow the fire wasn't put out.
"Uhh.. SMG4, the exit is above us!" Boopkins noted.
Indeed, there was light coming from above them, however, a large wall was between them and their freedom. The wall couldn't be scaled by the average man. It was about 20 feet tall.
"I think we're going to-a be stuck here forever!" Mario already gave up, and plopped down on the cavern floor.
"Don't worry guys, I know a way up!" Meggy grabbed her Splattershot, and fired a jet of orange ink on the wall. She transformed into a squid and swam up the wall to the top. SMG4 just stared at her.
"Great, but how does that help the rest of us?"
"Oh..." Meggy had somehow forgotten she was the only squid of the four. She thought of another way to get them up, "Throw Boopkins up here!"
Mario and SMG4 lobbed Boopkins up the tunnel towards Meggy. He hit her with more force than she'd expected, which caused her being flung backwards with Fishy Boopkins on her face.
"Aghh! I can taste the anime!"
"Sorry Meggy!"
SMG4 was deep in thought. How could he get up there? Suddenly, a light bulb popped above his head. He could wall-jump. He did so, and managed to reach the top of the cavern where Boopkins and Meggy were waiting.
"Mario, just wall-jump like I did."
Mario tried, but he couldn't reach the second wall.
"Goddamnit Mario! Your fatass is too heavy!
Meggy remembered a trick she used before with Mario, and decided to give it another try:
"Hey Red, if you stay down there, the bats will force you to exercise!"
Mario started panicking, as there was almost nothing worse than exercising for him. He desperately started climbing up the wall, which was normally considered impossible. He was able to reach the top.
"Mario number one!" Mario thought he was pretty good for having scaled the wall, even though it was thanks to Meggy. She saw something glitter in the corner of her eye. She went to investigate.
"What's this?" She examined the object. "A can of instant noodles? Perfect!"
"Can we leave now?? Please!!" Fishy Boopkins started racing towards the exit of the cavern, and the other three followed.
They were no longer at the beach, and it was already dusk. The sun was setting and they had no real shelter.
"Guys, I see smoke over there!" Boopkins pointed out. Mario started sniffing immediately.
"Ooh! Is it a BBQ?"
SMG4 eyed it with suspicion, "Mario, we don't know what could be causing that fire, it could be dangero—". Mario hadn't waited for him to finish, as he already was heading towards the smoke.
"Ughh, let's go after him."
When they arrived at the source of the smoke, they had expected to see a tree on fire, or some sort of barbecue. They hadn't expected to see Bob down there, sitting around a campfire.
"Bob?"
"Yo, yo, bitches! It's ya boy Bob. Good thing I am a descendant of Native Americans, so I'm prepared for the wilderness."
"Wait, where's the rest of the gang?" Meggy asked him, and sat down on a log around the campfire.
"Bowser was collecting food in the forest. I think Green Mario is hiding from something. I haven't seen the mushroom anywhere." Bob shrugged, if you could call it that. Mario was trying to summon Spaghetti with some strange technique he learned from Dumbledore. SMG4 was drawing memes in the dirt to cure his constant demand. Meggy was trying to cook the instant noodles over a campfire.
Boopkins walked over to a bush nearby.
"Nice tree costume, Luigi!"
"Boopkins? How did you see through-a my disguise?" Luigi had thought plastering leaves all oher him would make him blend in perfectly.
"I saw your moustache and nose."
"Oh."
Bowser finally made it back to the camp, and he dropped a piece of lettuce down.
"This is all the food I could find." Bowser hated not completing his objective propely.
"That's a piece of salad! How are we supposed to live off of that?" SMG4 snapped at Bowser, slapping the lettuce away.
"I say we cook the squid girl. I could go for some cooked calamari." Bob already was planning to make some squid sushi. Meggy threw a frying pan at Bob, which flung him about 10 feet away.
"Ow my ovaries!"
SMG4 suddenly remmbered about one missing member, other than Toad: "Wait Bob, you didn't say anything about Tari!"
"Oh, the robot girl. She was looking for her stupid missing duck."
Mario sat on a rubber duckie by accident, causing a loud QUACK to echo around the island. That caused Tari to appear out of the sand next to Mario.
"Mr. Quackington III! There you are!" She grabbed Mr. Quackington and hugged him.
"The sun is gone, let's just eat guys and gals.." Luigi rubbed his stomach. He hadn't eaten in hours, and the group agreed to start eating.
