Jo sighed, "Nassy, I finished..." Jo muttered, she had been thinking about the 'royalty of cold' recently, but the 10,000 word essay was finished. She walked over to Nastasia, and gave her the papers. "Dimmy bribed Mr. L to do the rest of his, though."

"My my, what a little tattletale, though I suppose that's to be admired." Chuckled the demented jester.

"Dimentio, I'll let you off with a warning this time... Oh yeah! That's right! We have a minion orientation scheduled now!" Nastasia rushed to wherever the minion orientations were held, and the others followed in close pursuit.

"Bleh heh heh heh... You've all arrived." Count Bleck smiled. "Today, O'Chunks is going up against the heroes."

"The heroes? Yer sendin' the right guy! CHUNKS AWAY!" And O'Chunks left via his normal 'wind breaking' means of transport.

O'Chunks arrived at the battle scene, and Dimentio appeared soon after, reasons so not adressed. "Dimentio? What're yeh doin' here?" He asked the floating clown.

"Ah ha ha... I am here to test something out! Heroes, say hello to O'Cabbage!" Dimentio snapped his fingers, and a Floro Sprout appeared on O'Chunks's head.

"CABBAGE!" O'Chunks shouted.

"Uh... what in the name of-" Prince Chill started.

"It's normal." Mario replied.

"Huh." Prince Chill readied himself for combat.

"Now remember kids! Eat your veggies to grow big! Except in this case, the veggie will eat YOU! Ciao!" And with that, Dimentio sent the group (including O'Cabbage) to Dimension D, and left.

"Mario? This is not going as expected. Maybe we should-" Prince Chill said, before O'Cabbage grabbed him and threw him across the room. "Ow! Why does everyone have to be so crazy?!" Prince Chill nearly yelled. Prince Chill ran at O'Cabbage, freezing the warrior solid for around five seconds. This gave Prince Chill enough time to use Boomer, which exploded in O'Cabbage's face.

"Gah!" O'Cabbage was not expecting the new hero to be this powerful, but soon Prince Chill was overwhelmed by O'Cabbage's battle style, switching to Bowser, who breathed fire on O'Cabbage, then jumped on him repeatedly.

O'Cabbage had failed the battle, and the Floro Sprout disappeared. "Guh... Huh?" O'Chunks stood up. Preparing to fight, then he hesitated. "Warrior rule #1: 'Never fight on an empty stomach!' 'Tis madness!" Chunks away!" He fled.

"What... in Frostland... was... that..." Prince Chill panted, looking more exhausted than frozen.

"That's O'Chunks! Dimentio has veggified him. He had no will of his own... Max HP is 60 and Attack is 3. He seemed faster and stronger than before... But he will get dizzy after being thrown. That's your only chance... Don't let his quick movements confuse you. Just keep a steady head..." Tippi replied.

"Now you tell me..." Was the ice prince's only response.

"Hey. Don't worry, at least he doesn't have fire like Bowser." Mario replied.

Chills went down Prince Chill's spine, though it could very well have been the fact that he was made of ice. "Don't even say the word fire." Prince Chill muttered.

Bowser replied with the same word Prince Chill had instructed them not to say, and was met with a punch to the eye.

"I said don't mention the word fire." Prince Chill said icily.

"Ow..." Bowser mumbled.

"Prince Chill, you didn't need to do that." Peach said.

"Oh really? I tell him not to say it, and he does. How does that NOT justify my actions?" Prince Chill replied.

Peach dragged Prince Chill away by the arm, loud smacks and cracks of ice were heard, followed by the sound of crying. The crying stopped, but the smacks continued, Mario had believed this to be the part when Prince Chill was unable to regain his breath. No sooner than five minutes later, the smacks had stopped. "Shh..." Peach soothed, carefully pulling up the pants and underwear that had been pulled down for the spanking. "Just breath..."

Prince Chill let out a loud cry when his well-punished rear came in contact with his clothes, "I'm s-so sorry..." Prince Chill stuttered, wiping the freshly iced tears pouring out of his eyes away. "This... hurt."

"It's meant to." Peach replied. "Now why were you punished?"

"F-For punching B-Bowser..."

"Good. Now, I hope I don't have to do this again, but I will if I have to."

Prince Chill nodded slowly, "Peach?"

"Yes, Chill?"

"What if... the Chaos Heart continues to live even after we defeat Count Bleck?"

"I don't know."

"Me niether."

Peach led Prince Chill back to the group. "Let's go."

Mario nodded.

Bowser took one look at Prince Chill and started laughing his head off.

"Bowser? Please, stop. If you continue I may punch you again, and I don't want that at memory of my last punishment from Peach." Prince Chill instructed.

Peach looked at Bowser. "Stop it. Leave Chill alone."

Mario stayed silent.

Hey, not all of the heroes are sunshine and rainbows, are they? I mean, Bowser is Mario's archenemy for goodness sake. Prince Chill, prince of the ice, and Bowser, firebreathing tyrant Koopa king. Fire melts ice, though water, ice's melted state, puts out fire. It can only be expected that the two don't get along!
