Chapter 4
A few hours later Link walked into the torture room. He noticed Marth was standing in front of Bowser's dead body. He screamed. Everyone in the mansion heard him and ran in there.
"Oh my God!" Roy screamed.
"What happened?" Luigi asked.
"I just walked in here and saw Marth standing in front of Bowser's body!" Link exclaimed.
"So I was right Marth is the killer!" Roy screamed.
"No, no, no! I am NOT the killer! I just walked in here and saw Bowser dead!" Marth explained.
"Hey I got one question: why were you and Link away from your partners?" Mario asked.
"My partner is annoying!" Marth and Link said at the same time.
"Ganondorf is rude and sarcastic." Marth said.
"Captain Falcon is always talking about bounties and racing and he thinks he is all that." Link said.
"Hey wait a minute." Luigi said. "Why did you and Bowser split up Mario? Or did you kill him?"
"You of all people should know that me and Bowser don't get along, Luigi." Mario explained.
"True." Luigi nodded.
"Okay we know Mario isn't the killer so the killer has to be Marth!" Roy said with his finger outstretched pointing at Marth.
No I swear I didn't do it!" Marth said backing up as all the smashers approached him. Marth eventually backed into the wall.
"You can't back up any more, Marth! Now we will kill you if you don't prove to us that you aren't the killer!" Roy shouted.
"I'm not the killer! I didn't kill anyone okay?" Marth said worriedly.
"LIAR!!!!" Roy screamed as he started to strangle Marth.
Marth fought him off but CF jumped on him. Roy and CF proceeded to beat and render Marth unconscious. When they knocked him out they put him on one of the torture devices.
His arms and legs were tied to poles and the poles slowly twisted. Eventually they ripped off his limbs. He bled to death.
"Finally we have murdered the murdered! Now we need to split up and find a way out of this mansion." Ganondorf said as he ran out the doorway.
All of the other smashers also left the room. They all split up to find a way out. Luigi, being smart, went straight to the spooky library to search for clues. He entered but discovered that there was no light switch so he would have to read in the dark.
He searched for about half an hour when he found a stunning clue. In one book he found a key and a map of the mansion. All the rooms on the map were black except one white room in the basement.
He ran down to the lobby and shouted calling the others. They all came except Mario never came. All of the smashers shouted again and again but Mario never came.
"Maybe he can't hear us." Roy said.
"I hope." Luigi said in a loud whisper.
"We gotta find him!" Link said.
So all the smashers stayed together and searched the mansion for Mario. They eventually came across a door on the third floor that was slightly opened. CF opened it completely and all the smashers gasped. For right in that room was Mario with spikes on the wall going right through his body. He was dead.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" Luigi screamed as he punched the ground.
"We killed Marth for nothing." Link said. "The killer is still out there."
"Maybe Mario committed suicide." Roy suggested.
Luigi got up and pushed Roy against the wall.
"Don't you ever say that! Mario wasn't crazy! He'd never commit suicide! You killed him!" Luigi screamed.
Link and CF pulled Luigi off of Roy.
"Stop this Luigi! We don't know who killed him! We need more clues first!" Link said.
Right then Luigi remembered.
"Take a look at this!" Luigi said as he handed them the map and the key.
"Whoa! I think the white room in what we need to use the key on! Where did you find this?" CF said.
"In the library." Luigi answered.
Everyone nodded and went into the basement following the map. They eventually reach a locked door. Luigi put the key in and opened the door. Inside was something very surprising. Pictures of all the smashers in the order they died in. Plus all of the remaining smashers except for one: Luigi.
"Wait! That means Luigi is the killer!" Ganondorf screamed.
"No I'm not! I'm not tall enough!" Luigi explained.
"You could have worn stilts!" Link retorted.
"But I didn't!" Luigi screamed.
"Then why are there stilts over by the pictures!" CF observed.
"I don't know! The killer must be trying to set me up!" Luigi screamed. "And Link, you were with me when we saw the killer!"
"That doesn't mean anything! You might have had help or something!" Link responded.
"I didn't kill anyone okay! I didn't! I would never kill a living person!" Luigi screamed. He knew they were about to kill him. He backed away in fear.
"I'm going to make you pay for all the murders you have made over the past few days!" Link screamed angrily.
They all dog piled Luigi and proceeded to beat the living shit out of him. After a few minutes he had been beaten to death.
"Finally we have really killed the killer." Ganondorf sighed with relief. "Now let's really find a way out."
All the smashers again started searching around for an exit alone. Ganondorf was searching in the library when he was suddenly pulled around and punched in the jaw. He was knocked into a bookcase. It knocked all of the shelves down like dominoes. When Ganondorf got up he noticed that his attacked was dressed in black.
"YOU!!!! How are you alive!" Ganondorf screamed angrily.
"You never killed me you fool!" The killer screamed.
"You can't be a smasher then!" Ganondorf yelled.
"Ah, but that isn't true my friend. I have been near you all along." The killer screamed as he tackled Ganondorf.
They started fighting with punches and kicks everywhere. The killer was winning the fight as he was more agile than Ganondorf. Ganondorf charged at him but the killer sidestepped and Ganondorf ran straight into the wall. The murderer picked up a nearby crowbar and started attacking Ganondorf with it.
Ganondorf was on the ground bleeding very badly as he said "Who… are… you?"
The killer chuckled. He pulled off his mask to reveal….
End of chapter.
I love cliffhangers.
