'Ugh, I hate this place' shuddered Peach, brushing off some dust from her arm.
'It is just a basement, god! We are just checking for clues' muttered Yoshi, pushing the princess down the wooden stairs.
She screamed as she rolled down and down, getting multiple cuts and bruises as she went. She landed at the bottom with a thump, sending dust flying everywhere. She coughed as she stumbled around, slamming into multiple objects. They all hit the ground with a clatter, some of them almost hitting Peach. When the dust cleared, they all gasped. There were weapons everywhere! Knives, guns, bombs, EVERYTHING!
'This must be the killer's hideout...' whispered Yoshi, shocked and amazed.
'Look at all these...' gasped Vivian in complete amazement, brushing her fingers over a silver sword that glittered.
'Dears, I think we should leave. You never know what could happen...' Flurrie flashed a worried smile at the other three and began to make her way back up the stairs.
'Flurrie, CLUES! You ever heard of THAT before, hm? Obviously not. This is our only chance to find out something to do with the killer!' shouted Peach.
'God, talk about attitude' muttered Flurrie, glaring at Peach.
'Says the big-headed bitch who shows off to everyone she sees' laughed Vivian, still looking at the sword.
'What exactly ARE you?' asked Flurrie sarcastically.
'I could ask the fucking same...' whispered Vivian quietly.
'Guys, let's just shut the hell up!' groaned Yoshi, stepping in between both of them.
'Shut it, big nose!' screamed Flurrie, slapping Yoshi on the head for no reason.
Peach watched in disbelief as the three screamed at each other. Suddenly, Flurrie, full of anger, unleashed a huge gale of wind from her mouth. Peach screamed as he blonde hair got blown up, waving around in the wind. She ran to a corner and sat there, safe from the gale.
'TAKE THIS, BIATCH!' screamed Flurrie, laughing maniacally as she unleashed more and more wind, making it feel like a tornado.
'Flurrie, please just calm down!' screamed Yoshi, diving for cover.
'FORGET IT!' shrieked Flurrie, turning to Vivian, who gulped.
Because Vivian was small, it was impossible for her to run. She blew back straight away, slamming into the wall.
'STOP IT YOU SLUT!' cried Vivian, tears streaming down from her face as she fell back to the ground on her hands and knees.
Flurrie didn't answer, but just continued with what she was doing. Vivian got blown up, and got thrashed into the wall, screaming and crying on terror. Suddenly, she felt pain. Unbearable pain.
'Oh my god...' whispered Flurrie, putting a hand to her mouth as she staggered back into some barrels.
She stopped blowing wind, and stared in fear at Vivian. Vivian slowly looked to Yoshi and Peach, who were gasping in shock. Vivian looked down, and realised what had happened. The sword she had been looking at was impaled through her stomach, blood slowly dropping out from her. She felt herself getting weaker and weaker. She stared at Flurrie, and quietly whispered something to her.
'This is all your fault...'
Then Vivian closed her eyes, her head dropping. However, she was stuck to the wall.
'VIVIAN!' screamed Peach, running out from her hiding spot and to Vivian, staring at her with teary eyes.
'What have I done!?' cried Flurrie, glancing around the room, also crying. 'I was being an utter bitch and killed Vivian!'
'Now we know who the killer is...' whispered Yoshi, slowly turning his head to Flurrie.
'NO, I'M NOT! I SWEAR!' Flurrie screamed and ran back up the stairs, out of sight.
It was silent for a moment, Peach staring at the corpse of Vivian sadly.
'Come on, Princess. Staying here won't help' said Yoshi, putting a hand on Peach's shoulder.
Peach nodded, and gave a weak smile to Yoshi.
'I guess I was a little harsh to Flurrie. Let's go and find her' Yoshi continued.
They both ran upstairs, Vivian still hanging from the wall.
...
Toadette, Bowser Jr, DK and Dixie were opening a glass door, and found themselves in a game room. One pool table was on the left, another on the right. Gambling machines were all around the room, and pool cues hung from the wall.
'We hit Jackpot!' cheered Bowser Jr and DK, both running to the pool table on the right.
DK attempted to pull a cue from the wall, but when he did, it just moved down. Suddenly, the wall flipped around, revealing a narrow corridor that led into darkness.
'Woah...' whispered Dixie, walking up to them, followed by Toadette.
'Should we go through?' asked DK, turning around and facing the others.
'No, of course not!' cried Toadette.
Suddenly, Dixie pushed them all through.
'Come on, stop being a baby!' she snapped.
Toadette went red with embarrassment as the four walked through. Then they found themselves in a small room with candles on the walls. Then Toadette and Dixie screamed. Pauline, Waluigi, Tiny and Goombella were hanging on the walls, nails hammered into their arms and legs, keeping them up. Their eye sockets were empty, and their mouths were open. Their clothes were ripped and there was a pool of blood around their feet. But then Dixie realised something. There was a cross above them, with blood splattered on it.
'I am going to be sick...' whispered DK, turning away, completely grossed out.
'Just look at them' said Dixie, stopping him. 'The killer moved their bodies around so they look like Jesus'
Then Bowser Jr had an idea.
'That means the killer must have a religion!' he gasped.
'Exactly' said Dixie, smiling, knowing she solved something.
'But...who DOES have a religion here?' asked Toadette, turning to face the others in fear.
Suddenly, there was a clang from behind them. They turned around and gasped, Toadette screaming. A gate had came down, trapping them. There was a faint click coming from the gate. They looked in the direction, and spotted someone...or something in a large black cloak, hiding all their features.
'I can not let you tell anyone about this...I will keep you here until you die off starvation. Then, I will do to you what I did to them...' they pointed a shaky finger at the four that were hanging on the wall.
Without another word, they swiftly turned around, the cloak flowing up. Then they walked rough the corridor, the wall turning around again.
'Great...' moaned Dixie, face-palming as she walked to the wall and slumped down. 'That was our only chance to tell the others something about the killer, and we blew it!'
Then Toadette gasped in fear and shock.
'THE OTHERS!'
...
Diddy leapt high into the air, somersaulting as he landed on a door, opening it.
'Show off' muttered Wario, walking through with Funky following close behind.
They found themselves in a kitchen. Utensils hung from pegs on the wall, with a fridge, stove and oven on the left. A fryer was on the right, the stuff inside bubbling. Wario rubbed his hands together in glee as he smelled the air.
'That makes me hungry...' he said, licking his lips.
'Shut it, fatty!' shouted Diddy, chuckling as he danced around. 'We are here to look for clues, remember?'
'I know, but a little sandwich wouldn't hurt, would it?' asked Wario, stumbling over to the fridge, slipping multiple times on the wet floor.
'I agree' laughed Funky, also walking over.
Suddenly, he also slipped on the wet floor. He wobbled back, trying to grab hold of something to steady himself. Wario turned around, noticing this, and reached his hand out. Diddy swung on the saucepans that hung on the ceiling, also trying to reach him. But then he slammed into one, dizzying him as he fell into Wario, who slipped and banged his head against the fridge. Funky then tripped, flying into the air. Diddy and Wario gasped as they watched their friend fall into the fryer.
'FUNKY!' cried Diddy.
Funky's legs were hanging out of the fryer, twitching. Diddy pulled on them, and with the help of Wario, he managed to pull Funky out. He landed on the floor, making a sickening thump. Diddy looked at his face in immense fear, gasping at what he saw. Funky's face was completely fried, making it unable for him to speak, blink, or do anything. His shoulders and body was also fried. Diddy, knowing he was dead, sadly stood up, turning away.
'Woah, that was weird' said Wario, rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. 'Let's go and tell the others. Staying here REALLY won't help'
They both walked out, Diddy silently crying while still looking at Funky's dead body. Suddenly, a shadow appeared, slowly walking over to one of the walls. They quietly lifted up a large butcher's knife, the metal making scratching noises on the wall.
'Heh heh heh...'
...
'Bowser, will you PLEASE get the hell off me?' gasped Ms. Mowz, panting as she carried the huge mutant dragon/turtle in her tiny arms.
Bowser was sweating, looking around nervously as he clung to Ms. Mowz, who was impossible to see under all the fat. Ludwig followed with his arms folded, muttering to himself as he rolled his eyes.
'Why me? Why do I have to be in a family with that thing?' he groaned, slightly slowing down.
'Hurry up!' yelled Bowser, turning his head around to glare at Ludwig. 'Do you want to get killed?'
Ludwig then went quicker, eventually catching up to his father and the mouse.
'Where should we go?' asked Ms. Mowz.
'Let's just go this way' suggested Ludwig, turning to the right and journeying through a corridor, the others following close behind.
...
Daisy came out of the bathroom, only to see Mario, Luigi, Rosalina and Koops packing up their things, looking like they were about to leave the room.
'What are you guys doing?' asked Daisy in shock, walking up to Luigi.
'Oh! Daisy. Um, Toad invited all of us to his room to sleep, because then we will be safe from the killer. Well, not exactly SAFE, but you know what I mean, right?' Luigi said, taking off his cap.
'Yeah. I will meet you guys later on. I am going to have a bath first. God, I haven't had one since we came here!' Daisy exclaimed.
'Ok. See you later' said Luigi and kissed Daisy, quickly leaving the room after.
Rosalina left too, along with Koops. Mario then went up to Daisy.
'Um, Daisy? Do you think Peach is doing ok without me? I have being having trouble sleeping last night, thinking about whether she is still alive or not' Mario said nervously, sweating.
'Don't worry, Mario. She is probably fine' Daisy smiled. 'I am going to go in the bath now. See you later'
Mario nodded and also smiled. When Daisy went into the bathroom, he sighed, and left the room, heading to the others. Daisy closed the door, forgetting to lock it. She picked up the remote for the TV that was on the wall, switching it on. She relaxed in the soapy bubbles, smiling as she sank further and further into the white sea.
'This is the life...' she smiled, watching the show that was on.
'Welcome to The Mole, everybody. What you must do, is go through-'
SNIP!
Daisy looked up, wondering what the noise was.
'Eh, it's probably nothing' Daisy said, relaxing once again.
SNIP!
Daisy jerked her head up and glanced around.
'Ok, something is SERIOUSLY wrong right now' she said, sweating as she looked around in fear.
SNIP!
Then the noticed the TV slumping down. She glanced at it, then saw three of the four wires were cut. She peered closer. Suddenly, she saw a pair of scissors closing over the last wire. Daisy screamed a ear-piercing scream as she saw the TV falling towards the bath. Stumbling out quickly, Daisy turned back to the bath, and saw the TV falling in, creating a huge splash. Blue volts of electricity flashed through the bath, as Daisy wiped the sweat of her forehead.
'Wow, I almost got electrocuted' she gasped.
Then she remembered the scissors, and glanced towards the door. The scissors were on the light blue mat, the sun's rays making it sparkle and shine. Daisy saw half of a body running through the door, but it was hidden with a cloak.
'Come back here!' cried Daisy, running out of the bathroom.
Suddenly, she slipped on the wet floor made by her feet and fell on her face, creating a huge bruise on the left side of her face. Daisy watched the killer leave the room frantically.
'Damn it!' she yelled, slamming a fist down on the wooden floor in a rage.
...
Peach and Yoshi were walking past the big hole in the floor, calling Flurrie's name.
'Flurrie! Flurrie? FLURRIE!' screamed Yoshi, pushing his head through a bin.
'Hello? Flurrie?' Peach called softly, opening a door.
She found herself in some kind of storage room, with brushes, buckets and old tools sat on shelves. Then Peach screamed, attracting Yoshi's attention. Yoshi came in and gasped, staggering back. There was a barrel on the floor. Rope was attached to the roof, the bottom of it looped. But what was inside the loop was what disgusted them both. Flurrie's head was in the hoop, her lifeless body dangling in mid-air.
'Not another one...' muttered Yoshi, jumping on the barrel and loosening the rope.
Flurrie dropped to the ground, a huge red mark around her neck.
'Let's go and find the others' suggested Yoshi.
Once again, they both sadly got up and left the room, not knowing the killer was lurking nearby...
...
