Jo sighed, she still hadn't gotten over the fight with Mario and Co. only a few days ago. She was sore from head to toe, and she was struggling to write the rest of the 10,000 word essay on why she failed and what she could do better. She was only on word 6,709 when another minion orientation was sounded. Jo hesitated, considering the pros and cons of going, knowing what was going to happen versus not knowing. The thought of yet another spanking convinced her, and she hurried to the room where she was on her first day.

Count Bleck, Nastasia, and the others were waiting for Jo to arrive.

"Sorry I'm late..." Jo whispered.

"It's okay, Jo. Count Bleck does not need you to be perfect. Besides, the Dark Prognosticus has more information that we could use." Count Bleck replied.

"So... what's the minion orientation about? Another fight with the Heroes? I mean, sure, they're-" Jo started.

"SILENCE! Count Bleck demanded. Ahem... the reason why you have been called here is because the Dark Prognosticus has more information we could use." Count Bleck repeated. ""The betraying acts of two will not halt the end of all worlds, and depending on which side the pale girl chooses, will inevitably END all worlds."" Count Bleck quoted from the Dark Prognosticus. "As well as, "The royalty of cold will cause an obstacle, but no matter what happens, the pale girl will be his rival and will see to it that the royaltyof cold is never to return the same. Whether or not the pale girl succeeds, is a different matter.""

"Huh? What does it mean?" Jo asked.

"Count Bleck does not know." Count Bleck replied.

"Any betrayer o' Bleck be an enemy o' mine!" O'Chunks hollered.

"Well, golly, Count! There's something you don't know?" Mimi asked.

"Mr. Plotsalot if you ask me." Mr. L muttered.

Dimentio chuckled. "The book says all that? Wow, it must really be a good book, one worth reading, actually."

"What do you mean by that?" Count Bleck asked Dimentio. "Are you saying that Count Bleck is boring?"

"No." Dimentio grinned.

"Count Bleck swears Count Bleck will never understand him..." Count Bleck muttered. "Anyways, Mr. L will be going up against the Heroes today. Let us hope he does well."

"L-ater!" Mr. L left, smiling happily.

About ten minutes later, once the orientation had ended...

Jo looked at Mimi. "Mimi? I have a question. Why do you exist? You shouldn't." Jo teased.

Mimi had enough, and started yelling at Jo, tackling her to the ground, Mimi smiled, flipped Jo over so that her backside was exposed, and started spanking it as hard as she could.

"Mimi I'm sorry- OWW- Nassy! Dimmy! Somebody help!" Jo cried out, Mimi however, continued until Jo's rear was a dark red before stopping, Jo could no longer speak properly at this point.

"Jo, I will stop if you promise never to be disrespectful to ANYONE again." Mimi said angrily.

"I promise!" Jo wailed, crying beyond repair and hoping that Mimi would stop.

"Good, now go. If you tell Nastasia, I'll add 50 more on the bare backside. And gosh, we don't want ANYTHING like that to happen again." Mimi threatened.

Jo scrambled away, crying loudly as she did so. She ran into Nastasia, and began telling her exactly what happened in detail regardless of what Mimi would or could do. Jo hugged Nastasia tightly and cried for a solid minute.

"Shhh... you'll be okay..." Nastasia soothed the blubbering girl, bewildered that Mimi could do such a thing, and why Jo had asked Mimi that question.

That was around the time Mr. L came back, bruised, battered, scorched, interestingly enough frosted over, and exhausted. "There's a... new hero..." M.r L panted, before collasping.

Count Bleck rushed towards Mr. L, helping him up "A new hero? What's his or her name? Inquired Count Bleck."

"Prince Chill... he's crazy..." Mr. L replied.

"Could he be the royalty of cold?" Count Bleck thought aloud.

"Maybe."

Meanwhile, in Flipside...

"So... this punk is Prince Chill? I could squash him with the raise of a finger!" Bowser bellowed.

"I'm Mario, the big guy over there is Bowser, and that's Princess Peach. Oh, and that's Merlon." Mario smiled at the newest hero.

"Greetings, it's a pleasure to meet you all (Prince Chill glanced at Bowser when he said 'all'.). I hail from Frostland, a place where it snows 24/7." Prince Chill explained.

Merlon nodded. "The Light Prognosticus does reference a 'royalty of cold', perhaps Prince Chill is this royalty?"

"Hold on, Merlon, does the Light Prognosticus mention anyone named Jo, by any chance?" Peach asked

"If you mean the pale skinned girl, then yes, it does." Merlon replied.

"Jo... I've got to find you..." Prince Chill thought aloud.

*insert flashback from years ago here*

"Chilly, I'll miss you..."

"We will meet again, do not fret."

"But I'm scared of what the Neutral Prognosticus and Predeecty say... about us..."

*flashback over*

"Prince Chill! Are you okay?" Merlon asked.

"Huh?" Prince Chill awoke to find Mario, Peach, and Merlon looking at him, concerned. Bowser didn't look concerned at all due to obvious reasons.

"Your temperature, it's higher than the normal -354 degrees Farenhiet."

"It... is?" Prince Chill looked at himself, he was made of ice, so it was not a suprise to see that he was melting. "I'm melting! Help!"

Mario rushed to Howzit's, and with 40 coins, bought an Ice Storm. Interestingly enough, it was very cold, much colder than normal, and Mario could only hold it for a moment before he dropped it due to his fingers being numb. With the help of Thoreau, Mario gave it to Prince Chill, who was back to his old self in no time at all.

"Thank you, Mario."
