Chapter 4: The Capitol, Day 1
Mario's POV
When I woke up, surprisingly early, I saw this huge, and I mean huge, building complex. I turned to Luigi, who was already awake.
"Are we going to live there?" I asked him. He scoffed.
"If we are, then we're in for one hell of a ride."
"You think?" We laughed at each other. "But it does seem quite fancy. That's a plus."
"Yeah, but who knows if the fanciness is only for the employees? Maybe they'll give us crap."
"You never know." I looked ahead, as the train slowed to a stop. I refused to get out at first, but then slowly walked to the entrance. As I did, the other trains stopped behind me, and the other competitors showed up. A lot of familiar faces. I don't know how I can kill them. Peach, Yoshi, Toad, all of them. Even Rosalina, for crying out loud. To think that all of them will be killed in some murderous way is just sickening. That's all I can think about as I walk to the entrance, the wind in my face.
Yoshi's POV
The door closed behind me, and I was somehow seperated from all the other competitors. Only Birdo was there, in the same shocked state as I was.
"What are we in for?" I somehow managed to ask. They were the first five words I said to her.
"I have no idea." she replied. "All I know is that everyone is going to try to kill me." I slowly nodded.
"If you think about it, everyone will try to kill everyone else in there. They'll become animals." Birdo looked at me. Then these Toads slowly walked up to us, and led us to our dormitories. We were in the same one, but there were two beds. That's a relief. But it really was fancy. For one, there was this menu on the wall next to our door. You could request pratically anything, and it would come, steaming, in less than a minute. For two, there were the windows. They looked like ordinary windows, but they could bring you a panoramic view of the city at the touch of a button. And for three, there were the showers, which brought so many controls, it wasn't funny.
"Well, this is a relief." Birdo said to me. "At least we get to live our lives as normal people for a few days." We sat down on our beds, looking at each other.
