Chapter 2: The Road To Rogueport
As the Mario Crew got back to the castle, they headed in as fast as they could. They went in the TV Room, and turned on the news.
"This is the most terrifying and utterly disturbing news that has ever happened in the Mushroom Kingdom, folks! It seemed that a cannibal attack has suddenly struck the city. Chaos is everywhere and it seems to be zombies that are doing the whole killing. Believe it or not folks it IS real. Hundreds are now dead or should I say "turned into the zombies". For those of you who are still alive and watching this, I would suggest taking the backroads that lead to Mushroom City either that or find some sort of boat that can take you to Rogueport and...OH MY GOD!! GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!" The toad reporter lady screamed, the camera suddenly fell to the ground and their was screaming in the background. A screen with colors came on.
"Oh...my...god." Said Birdo.
"Well, that's it then! We take the back roads to Mushroom City and we're out of here!" Said Waluigi.
"I don't think it will be that easy. This part of the Mushroom Kingdom is probably filled with zombies by now." Said Daisy.
"Well, let's take the boat to Rogueport then. I can hotwire it to start it up." Said Wario.
"How do you know how to hot wire?" Asked Yoshi.
"...personal experience." Said Wario.
"Right. Well, we're gonna have to the harbor then. Plus, it's only 10 minutes away. We shouldn't have any trouble getting there." Said Mario. Everybody agreed.
"Wait, shouldn't we get guns, first seeing as how zombies die from a shot the head...?" Asked DK.
"There's unfortunately no gun store here. There should be one at Rogueport seeing how protective that place is." Said Peach.
"Alright, let's go!" Said Mario.
Everybody went outside and ran to the van but suddenly saw 10 zombies heading owards them.
"Oh, man! This does not look good!" Said Diddy.
"It doesn't matter! We have to go now!" Yelled Mario. He started the engine, and drove like hell. He drove out of the front yard and onto the street.
"Okay, does anyone know how this all started?" Said Toadette.
"I don't think no one knows. It's usually a virus. And if it's a virus, then someone must've created it right?" Said Dixie.
"the creator must still be alive then. But, who knows where he is, though?" Said Boo.
"I remember watching the news earlier that some sort of virus just like this turned people into cannibals or well...zombies. The reporter lady said it started in Sarasaraland." Said Peach.
"...do you think we should-"
"NO!!" Everyone else yelled which interrupted DK.
"Eep! Sorry!" Said DK.
"This is just getting weirder by the second." Said Dry Bones.
As Mario was driving, they were lucky to not see any zombies in sight.
But that all changed suddenly when Mario turned they saw about 30 zombies in sight walking around aimlessly. Looking for flesh.
"Um, what should I do?" Said Mario. The zombies noticed the head lights and they all stared at the van. They all froze in fear.
"Drive through them! Maybe it will kill them!" Said Toad.
"Oh yeah, like that's gonna do anything!" Said Mario.
"JUST DO IT!!" Yelled Yoshi. Mario pushed his foot on the pedal and drove through the hoard of zombies like hell. The zombies toppled all over the van but they drived through safely.
"YES!! WE DID IT!!" Cheered Daisy. Mario sighed in relief.
When they finally got to the harbor they saw someone in a blue and white boat.
"Oh snap! There's someone in there! What should we do? WHAT SHOULD WE DO!?" Wario yelled.
"Be quiet! We just have to go in there very slowly. And by very slowly, I mean not go in there at all." Said Luigi.
They all suddenly heard the horrible moaning sound that only came from one thing: Zombies. They all looked back and saw a quartet of zombies heading towards them.
"THAT'S IT! WE'RE GOING IN THERE!" Yelled Peach. The group ran to the ship and opened the door and gasped at what they saw.
It was The (Original) Paper Mario Crew! (Goombario, Kooper, Bombette, Parakarry, Bow, Watt, Sushi, Lakilester, and Lakilulu). The Mario Crew sighed in relief.
"Oh, it's you guys! What are you doing here?" Said Mario.
"Hi there! Nice to see you all again! We saw the news and we've decided to head on over to Rogueport as it's way far away from this place while Mushroom City is only a mile from the Kingdom!" Said Goombario.
"And we've started the boat too! How awesome is that!" Said Kooper.
"Aw man! I wanted to test my hot wiring skills!" Said Wario.
"WHAT!!" Everyone else yelled.
"Ignore me! Sorry!" Said Wario.
But what they didn't notice was that the four zombies was getting closer to the boat everyone was in. Everyone saw them and slammed the door shut.
"Start the boat right now!" Yelled Daisy.
"Wait, does anyone know how to even start a boat?" Said Toadette. Parakarry raised his hand.
"Ooh! I do, I do!" Said Parakarry.
"Alright then! Parakarry, you'll steer the boat, and I will be...lookout." Said Bombette.
The zombies slammed the door open and grabbed Waluigi. Everyone else had screamed from the surprise. One of the zombies had bit on his neck. Blood was pouring out everywhere. Birdo went outside (but still on the boat) and threw up. The zombie had tore Waluigi's neck skin piece off and had eaten it. Lakilulu fainted at the sight. Dry Bones grabbed a metal pole and drived the pole through the zombie's forehead. The zombie fell to the floor and his head went out of the pole. There was blood everywhere.
"NO!! WALUIGI!!" Wario cried.
"Oh my god..." Lakilester whispered.
"This is terrible! Look at what the asshole zombie did to him!" Yelled Yoshi. Peach just stared in shock.
Bow came over to Waluigi. She checked his pulse.
"He's...he's dead." Said Bow.
"NO!! Waluigi!! He was the most closest thing to a friend I ever had! He can't die! Not like this!" Wario cried. Everyone else was speechless.
"Just...start the boat...please." Said Mario.
So they were traveling on the way to Rogueport by water which was 20 miles away from the Mushroom Kingdom. There were only 21 of them left which was goood as it was a big group, but if zombies attacked the group, their survival rate would be lower.
As the boat was still going, the moon hung up right in the middle of the sky. All of them were very tired but they had to get to Rogueport. It was the only safe place for now as the Mushroom Kingdom is now a zombie Kingdom.
"Are we there yet?" Said Toad.
"I don't know why don't you check outside." Toadette joked.
"Does anyone know why this catastrophe started?" Asked Sushi. Everyone else looked at each other.
"We believe it was started by a virus in Sarasaraland." Said Peach.
"Who would do such a terrible thing?" Said Bombette. No one knew the answer.
"A madman would." Luigi whispered.
"Hey, where did Waluigi go...?" Said Dixie. No one had realized, but Waluigi's body was gone.
"Did someone move him out?" Said Lakilester.
"WHAT IF HE TURNED INTO ONE OF THOSE THINGS!? OH MY GOD IF HE DOES THEN WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!" Lakilulu screamed.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise." Said Lakilester.
"Guys, I think we're lost. I mean, I can't see anything! No lighthouses, no islands nothing!" Said Parakarry.
"What do you mean we're lost! We can't be lost! That's impossible!" Diddy yelled.
"This is just great. We're in the middle of the ocean and we have no idea where the hell we are going." Said Daisy.
"I knew we should've gone to Mushroom City. But you all told me to shut up!" Yelled DK.
"DK...we're sorry. I guess you were right after all..." Said Mario.
"This is not happening! There has to be a island or something we can go on!" Said Goombario. Everyone in the boat was starting to lose it.
"Oh screw this!" Yelled Wario. He stepped outside the boat. "HELLO!! IS THERE ANYBODY THERE!?"
"Uhh, hello!!" Yelled Kooper.
As Kooper slowly looked back he saw Waluigi, now a zombie standing right next to Lakilester! Everyone in the whole boat screamed. No one expected it to coming. Everyone ran around the room trying to get away from Waluigi. Unfortunately, Waluigi had bitten into Lakilester's neck. Lakilester was screaming in pain.
Mario got a sharp knife from one of the cabinets, and sliced Waluigi's head right off! The head rolled around the room and everyone stared at it in shock and disgust. Lakilester fell the floor, dead.
"NOOOOOOO!! WHY DID HE HAVE TO KILL LAKILESTER!! HE WAS THE ONLY PERSON I HAD EVER LOVED IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!" Lakilulu cried.
"Lakilulu please...he was a zombie! He couldn't control what he was doing!" Said Birdo.
"No!! ALL OF YOU SHOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW!! NOT HIM!!" Lakilulu yelled. Everyone gasped.
"I'm...I'm terribly sorry Lakilulu..." Said Bow.
"Don't talk to me...just leave me alone..." Said Lakilulu in tears. Then she went outside.
"We have to get rid of the body. It will turn into a zombie just like with Waluigi." Said Sushi. Everyone agreed. They picked up both Lakilester and Waluigi's dead bodies and threw them in the ocean outside.
"Now, we just wait..." Said Luigi.
More time passed by an everyone was getting really tired. It was about 1 o' clock in the morning.
"Are we...almost there yet?" Asked Toad as he was about to fall asleep.
"I don't know go ask Miss Potato head..." Said Toadette while she was trying to sleep.
"Boy, Lakilulu sure has been out there for a long time." Said Goombario.
"I know, let's try to bring her in." Said Sushi. They both went outside and screamed at what they saw which woke everyone up.
"Woah woah woah! What's going on?" Yelled Wario as he suddenly woke up. Everybody outside and they all gasped.
Lakilulu's stomache and chest area was all ripped out and they could her insides. they noticed that some of her intestines were ripped out. It was truly a disgusting sight.
"Oh my god, I think I'm gonna throw up..." Said Birdo and she went on the other side and she did threw up. Wasn't a pretty sight, but Lakilulu's body being torn out was worse than that. Much worse.
"Who could've done this!?" Daisy yelled.
But suddenly, they all heard a moaning sound. It was Lakilester! He was slowly floating over to the group. His mouth hung open as if he was wanting something really bad.
"Oh man! What do we do now?" Said bombette.
"Kill him!" Said Mario. He grabbed the knife and stabbed it right through Lakilester's eye. He slid the knife out and Lakilester fell over the railing and into the water.
"I wonder how he got back on the boat?" Peach asked. Nobody knew the answer.
"The zombies are probably smarter than we thought." Said Mario.
"Ooh! I have an idea on how to stop the zombies!" Dry Bones spoke aloud.
"I suggest we do a rain dance of some sort so we could please the one in the heavens to destroy the zombies." Said Dry bones.
Everyone stared blantly at Dry Bones.
"What!? You got any better ideas!?" Dry Bones yelled. they all sighed.
"Guys! I think we are here!" Said Parakarry. They all turned around and saw an island none other than Rogueport!
Everyone cheered in happiness and got off the boat. When they got on the dock they met some familiar people.
"Hello guys! It's weird, but cool to see you here!" Said Goombella. She was hanging out with the "Thousand Year Door Crew". (Goombella, Koops, flurrie, Yoshi Jr, Vivian, bobbery, Ms. Mowz)
"Mario!? Is that you and your friends? Oh, it;s such a delight to see you folks!" Said Flurrie.
"So, I'm guessing you guys came over here to reach safety because of the zombies?" Said Koops.
"Yep and that's basically it. The whole Mushroom Kingdom is under chaos and I'm guessing we were the only survivors." Said Luigi.
"I bet you all are tired aren't you? Why don't you go at the Inn and rest there?" Yoshi Jr recommended.
"THANK GOD!!" Everyone else yelled. And they zoomed off toward the Inn to get some shut eye.
EOC.
