Chapter 5. Man I LOVE writing this story. Unfortunately School is upon us. But I'll still be pumping out new chapters.
So I devilishly left off with a cliffhanger last time. What the heck's happening? Only Flashbacks can truly explain it.
Mario. The disclaimer.
Mario: Smash-a Ed-a owns nothing-a. Not Super Smash-a Brothers, Nintendo, or Konami-a.
What about Sega? I don't own that either!
Mario: I don't-a want to mention that-a company.
FLASHBACK
Friday, March 7th, 2008-Garden-9:20 PM
"Aahh…." Yoshi let out a sigh. The dinosaur...dragon…..lizard…..thing….you know let's just call him a Yoshi. Anyways Yoshi the Yoshi looked around and saw it was dark with only 2 dim lights giving him sight.
"Yoshi must have Yoshi fell asleep!" Yoshi pronounced. "Very Yoshi Relaxing!" Yoshi looked around at the still beautiful flowers. The butterflies' absence made Yoshi sigh. "It's so much Yoshi! Beautiful in the day." Yoshi finally adapted to the dark. He had remembered it was movie night.
"Oh darn, must have Yoshi, missed a lot of it." Yoshi got up and started to trot to the door, his brown boots not making a sound. Yoshi then stopped and stared at the entrance. A door opened and out came a hooded figure. That door leads to the Basement Yoshi! Yoshi thought to himself. And why is he hooded? A prank Yoshi! Yoshi thought. Yoshi started to move forward when he looked closely at the figure. His hand was giving off a reflection. Yoshi's eyes widened as he saw it was a knife.
The hooded figure headed off towards the Lounge and Yoshi gave chase.
9:28 PM-Lounge
The hooded figure crept slowly and silently towards the couch facing the large TV. 10 people, and 5 pikmin sat on the couch watching the horror film. One of them won't live to the next scene….. The hooded figure thought, and grinned evilly.
He raised his knife as he approached the couch. At the moment, on the screen a person's throat was being slit. The hooded figure grinned and whispered quietly Life imitates Art……The hooded figure reached over the couch slitting a smasher's throat in the same motion as the film's.
"EEK!" Luigi and Olimar cried at seeing the scene. The person on the screen was sitting there with blood gushing down their shirt. The body then fell over. The pikmin cried in fright. Suddenly a loud cry pierced the night.
"YOSHI YOSHI YOSHI YOSH!" Yoshi cried as he ran and tackled the figure. The knife flew from his hands hitting the TV screen with a BANG. The TV went out and all went dark.
END FLASHBACK
Lounge-9:31 PM
"Yoshi yoshi yoshi!" Yoshi cried from the ground.
"Yoshi? What the heck is going on?" Fox asked the Yoshi, all alone on the ground.
"Yoshi yoshi yoshi yosh! Yoshi yoshi! Yoshi yoshi yoshi yosh!" Yoshi cried quickly in his language.
"What?" Red asked confused.
Yoshi face palmed. "Man with Knife Yoshi!" He pointed towards the hallway but no one was seen.
"There's no guy with a knife." Falco told the estranged Yoshi.
"D…..D…..D…." Olimar and Luigi said at the same time.
"What's going on!?" Captain Falcon cried. "And what happened to the movie? It was getting good!"
"DK……" Olimar and Luigi stated both falling over in fright.
The 7 on the couch looked over to the ape. What they saw troubled them all. The ape's eyes were still focused on the TV screen but his throat was gushing blood down his chest and tie. His throat had been slit. He body fell onto the floor by Yoshi.
"Yoshi too late….." Yoshi mumbled sadly.
I warned you. Lucario told Meta Knight.
"Dang." Meta Knight mumbled.
"Yeah…..I'm just gonna….. get…… Master Hand….." Red mumbled as he left the room.
Olimar and Luigi looked at each other in shaky voices they talked to each other.
"S-s-s-s-should we-a?" Luigi asked Olimar.
"L-l-l-l-let's." Olimar responded.
"3-3-3-3-2-1…" They said to each other.
"MURDER IN THE MANSION!! MURDER IN THE MANSION!! EVERY MAN FOR THEMSELVES!!" Repeating the night before the 7 (pikmin included) ran around like nut jobs and rushed through the halls right past Master Hand and Red. They rushed up the steps and flew out of sight.
"Again?" Master Hand sighed.
"Again." Red confirmed.
"Who?"
"DK."
--In the Lounge--
"And so it went down to 30." Falco mumbled.
"30? There are still 33 of us alive."Falcon said dumbly.
"The 3 smashers that are missing numbskull." Falco told him harshly.
"So….when's the movie coming back on?" Falcon asked Falco.
"…….I'm going back to my room."Falco and Fox then departed the room leaving Mario, Yoshi, Meta Knight, Falcon, Lucario, and the Dead DK.
Meta Knight sighed. "Another Smasher falls."
Master Hand floated into the room. "Oh dear….." He mumbled. "2 deaths in a span of 25 hours….."
"So, what-a shall we-a do-a now?" Mario asked the hand.
"Everyone return to their rooms. NOW." Master Hand demanded. Mario and Falcon departed leaving Meta Knight and Lucario.
"That goes for the 3 of you as well." Master Hand ordered.
Yoshi stood up sadly. "Yoshi had him…..Yoshi had him…." He sighed. "And Yoshi was too late……" Yoshi let out a sad cry before leaving the room.
I'd advise you to put more precautions in place. This guy's evil and I doubt he'll be stopping soon. Lucario told the Hand. Lucario departed along with Meta Knight.
Master Hand stared at the dead DK on the floor. "Lucario's right. 2 smashers are dead, now I'll have to step it up a notch." Master Hand sighed in the dark room.
Hallways-10:02 PM
Diddy Kong was sitting alone in his room, that he shared with his uncle. Diddy had heard Luigi and Olimar's loud screeches. Everyone did. Diddy sighed at the thought of another smasher murdered.
"I hope Uncle DK is alright." Diddy sighed.
Suddenly there was knocking on his door. Diddy literally jumped out of his seat in fright. Diddy quickly grabbed his peanut popgun and approached the door. Gun in hand the chimp opened it to find a floating hand.
"Master Hand?" Diddy Kong answered.
"I suppose you have heard the commotion downstairs." Master Hand stated quietly.
"The whole mansion heard those 2." Diddy Kong stated solemnly. "So, why are you here?"
"You know, going around the halls telling people to be on the watch and all."
Diddy Kong had a questioning look on his face. "You told us that yesterday. I'll say again. Why are you here?" Diddy Kong repeated.
Master Hand sighed. "The one who was murdered tonight…..it was DK."
And that is Engulfed By Evil Chapter 5: Life Imitates Art!
Was the wait worth it? I had to get it just right.
To Bustman: Yes. I DID have something up my sleeve.
Next time Master Hand has enough, Diddy wants revenge, and an unlikely trio team up to try and find the murderer!
R+R!
