Chapter 3: A Dream Within A Dream
Peach was walking down a foggy street in the Mushroom Kingdom. It seemed that the whole place was abandoned. She saw a little girl sitting on a bench on the side walk.
"Hey, what are you doing out here?" Asked Peach. The toad girl looked up at her.
"...I'm thinking." She said.
"Um...what's your name?" Peach asked.
"I have many names...but you can call me Aleisha." She said.
"Okay, Aleisha...why do you have many names?" Peach asked.
Aleisha responded in silence but then spoke.
"Do you know of a girl named Ashley Mush?"
"No...why?"
"You see...a long time ago a woman named Merluvlee gave birth to Ashley. However though, there was a very dangerous evil inside her. When she went to school, trouble would always hapen where ever she was. She was always so lonely and mysterious. All of the kids at school called her a witch all the time. I was her only friend."
"Oh my god...that's...really sad." Peach said.
"And I didn't care if she was mysterious and so hidden about stuff. We told each other secrets and everything. But one day... her mom and dad were fighting. Her dad used to beat up his wife so much that it drove Ashley crazy. So crazy that, she accidentally set the whole house on fire! Ashley survived the whole catastrophe, but her body was burnt pretty badly."
"I'm...i'm so sorry." Said Peach.
"Ashley was so scared and afraid, she didn't know what to do. the evil inside her grew so much that it literally killed everyone who made fun of her and called her a witch. The whole city was in peril. Houses were burning from street to street. Blood was everywhere on the ground. People were running and screaming for help, but none would come."
"That's...terrible!" Peach shrieked.
"Here...let me show you what she can do..." Said Aleisha. Suddenly, the whole place changed. They were at a school and fire bells were ringing.
"Wait, what's going on!? Where am I!" Peach yelled.
"there's no need to worry. Just watch..." Said Aleisha with a creepy smile.
There were people wondering what was going on.
"Excuse me!!" Said a toad in front of the crowd. "If you would all please line up in an orderly fashion, then we could go outside and solve this problem."
Mario looked at the end of the hallway and saw a long piece of metal wire floating in the air.
"Um...why is that in the air...?" Peach asked.
"You'll see." Said Aleisha while raising her eye brows.
While everyone in the hallway was talking about what was going on, the long metal wire zoomed through the hallway almost at the spped of light. The wire cut through everybody's bodies, slicing them in half. Legs, torsos, chests, and heads were cut off and blood was everywhere. Mario shocked at the gory mess. The whole sight was sad as well because none of them knew what was going to happen.
There was gallons of blood on the whole floor, people who were barely alive, tried to find what the hell just happened, but it was way too late for them.
"H-how did she do that!?" Mario yelled.
"Her telekinesis is very strong. She knows when people are talking bad about her. She could even see far into the future. She could cause any kind of disaster she wanted. The news soon spread around the world, and people were caught up in mischief. But soon...ashley died." said Aleisha.
"How did she die?" Peach asked.
"hehe. She died because the evil was now in her whole body. The evil escaped from her and spread throughout the world, looking for it's next victim."
"Peach!" Someone yelled.
"What the...who is that!" Peach yelled as she turned around. She turned back around and saw that Aleisha was gone.
"PEACH!!" The voice yelled.
"Hello!! Wake up!!" Said Daisy with a laugh. Peach woke up with a shriek.
"What, what happened?" Said Peach.
"Nothing happened, you just woke up late..." Said Daisy.
"Oh, it's 12:00 it's not THAT late..." Said Peach.
"To me and Boo it is! 12:00 is like 3:00!" Said Dry Bones.
"Isn't that Atlantic Time?" Said Yoshi who was sitting with Birdo.
"Um...no?" Said Boo.
"um...yes." Said Birdo.
"Alright then. Where is everybody else?" Peach asked.
"They're down stairs eating breakfast. Let's join them!" Said Daisy. Peach agreed then she, Daisy, yoshi, and Birdo went downstairs. Apparaently, skeletons and ghosts don't eat breakfast. (Where would it go?)
"OH MY GOD!! THIS BACON IS SO GOOD!! DO YOU THINK IT'S GOOD CAUSE I THINK IT IS!!" Kooper yelled. He was hyper on bacon.
"um...right. I personally think French Toast is better." said goombario.
"NO IT'S NOT!! BACON IS MUCH MUCH BETTER!! DON'T YOU DENY IT!!" Kooper yelled.
"Don't you think you had enough already? you had like 20 pieces!" Said bombette.
"I don't care how much he eats as long as he pays for it!" Podley laughed.
"I'LL GIVE YOU 50 BUCKS FOR 15 PIECES OF BACON!" Kooper yelled.
"Done and done." Said Podley.
"Right...i'm just gonna leave now...and go over there, yeah..." Said Parakarry.
"So do you guys wanna go swimming later? There's a pool in the back!" Said Toad.
"As long as it is under 5 feet deep, I'm cool with it." Said Dixie.
"Hey, the princess has arrived!" Said Toadette.
"Heh. Thanks." Said Peach as she sat down with the others.
"Why did you over sleep? You don't usually do that..." Said DK.
"I don't know. I had a really weird dream. There was this girl named Aleisha, and she had a friend named Ashley that can control anything and kill people if she wants to." Said Peach.
"What...wasn't that all over the news like last month?" Said Diddy.
"Yeah, it happened near the Mushroom Kingdom remember?" Said Toad.
"Wait, this happened before?" Peach asked.
"Yeah, don't you remember when that girl caused a huge catastrophe in Mushroom City?" Sushi asked.
"No...I guess I didn't pay any attention to it." Peach replied while she was looking down at the floor.
"Maybe the spirit of Ashley is coming to get us!!" Bow joked.
They all saw Mario and Luigi walking down the stairs to the main floor.
"Oh Mario! good morning!" Said Peach. Luigi waved to her.
"Good morning Peach and everybody else." Said Mario politely.
"So...I know this may seem a bit early but...what do we do now that we are safe? Like, the mushroom kingdom has been invaded by zombies and stuff..." Said Daisy.
"I don't know really. I guess it would be better for the whole thing to die down." Said Mario.
"It will never die down." Wario spoke up. He was sitting at a small round table near the corner.
"What do you mean it will never die down?" Goombario asked.
"Because no matter what, the zombies will continue to roam the Earth. Doesn't matter if you set off a bomb, or a heat seeking missile at them. They still be alive." Said Wario.
"How do you know that?" Dixie asked.
"Because...I was the one who helped create the virus." Said Wario.
"YOU WHAT!!" Everyone yelled. There was shock of everyone in the room who heard it.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU CREATED THAT VIRUS!!" Daisy yelled in fierce anger.
"To get payback for what everyone deserves..." Said Wario with his creepy smile.
"Payback for what? We didn't do anything to you!" Toadette said. Wario just laughed.
"Sure that's what they all say. I said I would someday give you guys payback for the way you treated me back in the days. For the whole world has treated me like crap, just because I'm supposedly evil!" Wario yelled.
"Wario, we didn't really mean that stuff back then..." Luigi spoke up.
"DON'T GIVE ME ANY EXCUSES!! Nobody is ever right but you guys!! You all think you are so cool and popular but you won't be when you're dead!!" Wario yelled. He then cackled in excitement.
"You...you've gone crazy!" Dk yelled.
"So, I'm sorry to say but I am running away now. Don't worry, you guys "might" be alright. I'm just gonna have to go. And I've already my wish."
"WHAT!! You created a virus that caused an apocalypse, now you've decided to run away!? You really are crazy." Said Birdo.
"Well, I am here with nothing but honesty. I've had enough, and I'm not gonna stay."
"Have fun getting killed then. We certainly won't mourn over your death." Said Mario.
"I don't plan on it." Wario then left the inn.
"...Can someone tell me what the hell just happened!?" Parakarry yelled.
"I don't believe it...why would he create the virus!? It doesn't make any sense..." Said Peach. She was also wondering why she had that dream about Ashley and her killing people when she wants to.
Was it a message, a sign, or anything at all? Or was it just a mere coincidence that she had it?
EOC.
Yeah, not an exciting chapter I know. But why would Wario really want to create the virus though? Do you think anyone else could've helped him create it? Are they really safe now that they are in rogueport?
Please review, and no flames k thx.
