Chapter 8: Lost Memories

Back to the villians:

Jojora, Pinker, Nastasia, and Doopliss were searching for Ashley in Poshley Heights.

"I don't think she is in this town. It seems pretty deserted." Pinker said.

"She has to be here, or we'll be searching every where!" Jojora exclaimed.

"Um, there she is. Right by that fountain." Nastasia pointed to Ashley. The group ran to her.

"Oh Ashley! Or um...the devil or something. We have found you!" Doopliss cheered.

"Who are you and what do you want with me!!" Ashley yelled in a very demonic voice.

"Oh! Um, well you see. We've been searching for you!" Pinker answered.

"Hmm, okay then...what do you want with me? Speak now, or else I shall send a mass swarm of locusts down to your pathetic, weak bodies!" She yelled.

"Eep! Um, well, we want to rule the world with you, actually. We have been waiting for a moment like this for a long, long time!" Jojora exclaimed.

"You want to rule with me...? Haha! How am I so sure you're not just trying to use me!?" She asked loudly.

"Because, we plan to use our powers to create a perfect world, where all will obey us! Or all will obey you, which ever one you like!" Pinker cheered.

"Hmm...alright then. So, what should we do then? We've already had zombies invade the Mushroom Kingdom and Rogueport..." She said.

"Actually, we need to take you to our master so you can meet him and his most loyal servant as well. He plans on ruling not only the Earth, but the whole Galaxy!" Doopliss said.

"FOOLS! YOU THINK I WOULD ACTUALLY FALL FOR THAT!!" Ashley roared. Her yell was so loud, the the whole ground shook.

"What, what do you mean!?" Pinker stuttered.

"Fools! I know what you're trying to do!! You're trying to trick to meeting your master, so he can use a special power on me so I will obey him!!" She yelled.

"Yeah, um, sorry, I'm just gonna do this." Nastasia said. She got out a laser gun and zapped it at Ashley, which made her unconcious and fell down to the ground.

"Hah! Time to take this sucker back to head quarters!" Jojora cheered.

"DON'T EVEN TRY!!" Ashley yelled. There was a sudden bright flash. The whole group was teleported somewhere cold.

"Oh my god!! Like, what the hell just happened!?" Pinker yelled.

"And where are we!? Brrr...it's cold!" Doopliss replied.

"Hmm, it appears we are on Shiver Mountain, in the shiver region." Nastasia said, while looking out at the sight. There were mountains every where they saw.

"Shiver Mountain!? Damnit, Ashley must have teleported us here!! Where exactly is this moutain we are on near at?" Jojora yelled.

"Uhh, Shiver Mountain is near Shiver City, which is north west of the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Well, where ever we are at, we'll teleport our way back at the base...what the!? THIS THING ISN'T WORKING!!" Pinker yelled.

"Mmm, Ashley must have kept us from using our special equipment." Nastasia said with a slight pause.

"Grrr! Curse her! We need back up as soon as possible!" Jojora cursed and yelled.

"Well, we can't go down seeing as the Mushroom Kingdom is zombie filled. We CAN go up the mountain which will lead us to Crystal Palace. Once we get through the palace, there should be a bridge that can take us to Chuckle Woods, which will lead us to the Beanbean Kingdom and to the place where our base is at!" Doopsliss spoke.

"Alright, up we go!" Jojora cheered. Then, the villians traversed up the shivery moutain.

Joke's End:

The group of twelve (Yoshi, Birdo, Parakarry, Ms. Mowz, Flurrie, Kooper, Bombette,Vivian, Dixie, Dry Bones, Boo, and Diddy) ventured into the first floor of the Joke's End Castle.

"God, it's so cold in here!" Ms. Mowz said with a shiver.

"Nooooo, you think?" Parakarry sarcastically said.

"Look, let's just geth through this." Dixie replied.

The room they were in had a staircase going to the second floor, and a door leading outside.

"Well, I know where to go so come on!" Kooper said. He followed the group upstaircase. But something went terribly wrong, the stairs had broken down! The group had fallen to the icy floor below.

"Sigh...can this get any worse?" Vivian said as she tried to stand up.

"Looks like we'll have to go the long way then..." Said Yoshi with a slight sigh. The group went outside on to an icy bridge.

"Careful! It's slippery here!" Diddy warned.

"I don't have to worry, I can float!" Flurrie said.

"Haha, me too." Said Boo and Parakarry.

"Pfff, lucky." Bombette whispered.

Suddenly, there was a swooshing noise near the door they entered at. A big lasrer had appeared from the ground and it popped up. Suddenly, fire started coming out of it, on to the bridge, which meant the whole bridge will melt in a matter of seconds.

"OH MY GOD!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!" Birdo screamed. Flurrie, Parakarry, Boo, just simpoly floated to the other side of the bridge. Everyone else was running for theie lives. The fire had already melted almost half the bridge.

"Fire...hate fire!" Dry Bones shrieked.

"Hurry up!!" Ms. Mowz yelled. However, something totally out of the blue came onto the half melted bridge. It was some sort of yeti, except it had torn skin, and sharp fangs.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT THING!?" Dixie yelled.

"RUN THE OTHER WAY!!" Diddy screamed. But there was no other way, the yeti was blocking them from getting any further. The melting process of the bridge started to slow down, but eventually everyone else would fall many feet below.

The yeti grabbed Birdo and smashed her into the bridge, cracking some ice.

"GET OFF OF ME YOU ASSHOLE!!" Birdo yelled with a punch to it's head.

"Take this!!" Bombette yelled as she grabbed an ice pick. She stabbed it through the yeti's back, which caused him to raor very loudly.

"oh no! The melting is getting closer!" Kooper yelled.

"Oh my god...there's another one!!" Dry Bones yelled. The yeti came in the same way as the first yeti did. The second yeti grabbed Yoshi and threw him across the bridge, near the edges.

"Someone please help me!!" Ms. Mowz screamed as she was being chased by the second yeti.

"Get away from me you ass hole!!" Ms. Mowz yelled as she grabbed a bloack of ice and threw it at the crazy animal.

Bombette continually stabbed the yeti. But, the yeti grabbed Bombette and threw her right off the bridge!

"NOOOO!! YOU ASSHOLE!!" Dixie yelled. She got the ice pick and stabbed the yeti right through the eye!

"Ah! Get him off of me!" Birdo yelled. But, it was too late for any body to do anything, the whole bridge had melted and everyone else had fallen feet below, screaming for their lives. Flurrie, Parakarry, and Boo had just stared in shock.

"Oh man! This can't be good!" Flurrie shrieked.

"Great, now what do we do?" Parakarry sadly asked.

"...we keep going. We have to keep on going. There's basically nothing we can do for them." Boo replied. The three then floated off.

Somewhere in Joke's End's Castle:

"Ugh..." Yoshi said as he tried to get up from the cold ground.

"Ouch...where...where are we?" He asked himself.

He looked around and it seemed that the rest of the them who were on the bridge, were with him as well. They were in some sort of chamber that only had snow in it.

Dixie suddenly woke up from the great fall as well.

"Hmm, very odd..." She said.

"Um, do you know where we are?" Yoshi asked.

"We're still most likely in Joke's End. Don't what part of it though..." She replied as she saw Bombette and Kooper get up.

"Wow, that fall really knocked me out..." Said Bombette, rubbing her head.

"Darn...where are we at? Is there a way out of this place? I don't see any doors!" Kooper complained. Eventually, everyone else had gotten up.

"Uh, more trouble, I see." Birdo said, looking around the room.

"How do we get out? We can't be stuck in here!" Ms. Mowz shrieked.

"We'll have to wait for Flurrie, Boo, and Parakarry to come back to get us out. We'll just wait..." Said Vivian.

Flurrie, Boo, and Parakarry were walking up on the second floor in the castle.

"Geez, how much dangerous can this place be? And this ice is not helping at all!" Boo complained.

"Let's just keep going." Said Flurrie.

They got into a room where there was two doors, and a staircase that lead to not the third floor, but a higher ledge.

"Well, let's go up, since we have to get this special item from Teehora." Parakarry quickly replied. But suddenly, the doors had opened revealing some unexpected guests.

It was the zombies. There were many of them and they were very hungry.

"What the...!? How the hell did the zombies get up here!?" Boo yelled.

"Who cares! Let's float our way out of here!" Flurrie yelled. The three had floated up to the higher ledge with ease. Unfortunately though, zombies had came in from the hallway they were in.

"Damnit!! They have us cornered!!" Flurrie yelled. The zombies below started to come upstairs.

"There has to be another way out of here!" Parakarry yelled in fear. He suddenly saw an even higher ledge leading to another hall way.

"Up there!! We can evade these bastards!" Parakarry cheered. The three floated to the even higher ledge and ran off.

Meanwhile, in the glitz pit:

"Peach, where are you going?" Mario asked.

"Oh, I'm going to lay down for a while. I'm pretty tired." Peach replied.

"Um, okay...be careful though!" Mario replied. Peach didn't answer back. She went in to the hall way and in to the champions room, the champion room had the most comfortable bed so she decided to sleep there.

She got on the bed and closed her eyes. The comfortness of the bed got her to sleep quickly.

Mean while (yet again)

"Sir, I mean Miracle. We have lost track of Jojora, Doopliss, Nastasia, and Pinker." Lola spoke.

"What!? How did that happen now!?" Miracle yelled.

"I haven't the slightest idea, really. Their last confirmed location was back at Poshley Heights." Lola replied.

"Very odd...do you think Ashley might have killed them?" Miracle had asked.

Lola didn't know how to reply.

"I'm...I'm not sure, Miracle. Wait a second!" Lola spoke up. She went to the computer area in the room and found a signal from their group.

"Aha! I think I have found them! They are...in Shiver Mountain? Huh?" Lola asked her self.

"Shiver Mountain!? What the hell are they doing there!?" Miracle roared.

"I'm not sure, sir. Ashley must have transported the there or some thing!"

"Hmm...we'll need back up for this. Get 4 of my best slaves in here right now."

"Yes, sir."

"Stop calling me sir!!

"Eep! Sorry!!" Lola then ran off.

"Hmm, this is getting more and more dangerous by the second. Even, at Joke's End, we probably couldn't hide out over there..." Miracle said ti him self.

"Here they are, si- um, Miracle. I got Tiny Kong, Shy Guy, Blooper, and Hammer Bro." Said Lola.

"We are prepared to do any requests of yours, sir!" Said Hammer Bro.

"Please don't call me sir. Anyways, I have a mission for you guys. I need you to go to Shiver Mountain and bring my original group back over here. They some how got transported to that region so we must get them back to get Ashley!!"

"Awesome!! This would be good to test my super duper hair twirl!!" Tiny cheered.

"Yeah, whatever. Just go and get them back for me. I'll see you later."

"Awesome! And, we are off!" Said Blooper.

"Let's hope things start to get right this time..."

Meanwhile (again times three)

Peach was walking down a foggy street. The area had seemed familiar to her.

"Hmm, why am I back at this place again?" Peach said to her self.

"Hello Peach. Nice to see you again." Said Aleisha who appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh, hi Aleisha. Um, why am I here again? Is there something else I need to know?" Peach asked.

"Yes, there is, actually. I need to tell you something very important first. Okay, please listen very well. There is a large group of baddies who are planning to use Ashley to rule the whole Galaxy for themselves." Aleisha said.

"What!? Well, now we got even more trouble now!!" Peach yelled in frustration.

"Yes, it is true. If they get a hold of Ashley, then you and your friends...no! The whole world will be in danger!!" Aleisha shrieked.

"So, how do we keep them away from her? And where are these baddies at?"

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to keep them away from her. The best plan is to find safety. I don't know the location of the baddies head quarters is at, I've only been on the inside. I will try to keep them away from Ashley as good as I can."

"Okay then. I'll have to trust you on this."

"And I need to show you some thing as well..." Suddenly, the whole outside turned in to the inside of a house. Peach saw Ashley sitting on her bed with her cousin, Karina.

"God...I wish people would treat me like a normal person. Why must my life have to be like this!?" Ashley said in frustration.

"Don't worry, Ashley, it will all be okay. And you're right, you don't treat any body bad, so why should they treat you bad?" Karina replied.

"Well, now I know that my tears won't lead to loneliness and maybe when time goes by, they will all understand." Said Ashley with just a plain expression.

"You are right. They think they know you, but they don't. Well, except for Aleisha maybe." Karina said.

"Well, let's pretend, that I moved on. Then I'll tell myself, that life can go on without my friends and my family."

"What are you saying? Your friends and family are one of the most important things to you!"

"Open my eyes, and look deep inside...I'm running away."

"But...why!? Running away is never the answer!"

"I might as well, since God probably hates me for doing stuff I can't control."

"No...God doesn't hate you. Maybe...maybe you should get baptized? That will probably stop, or help stop what's going on with you!"

"You think so? But...my life is a misery. But, since we're talking about this. I have to tell you something about my long past, and my families past."

"Okay, I'm listening."

"Something...terrible happened in Mushroom City, the city we are in 20 years ago...a woman named Merlee tried to summon a demon like creature from hell...she offered up her very own daughter, Merluvlee...Merluvlee, is really my step mom...but anyways, it had worked...Merluvlee had given birth to a demon...she had these special powers, kind of like me, she can wish for someone to die just like that..."

"Oh my god, that's crazy!"

"Maybe so, but, she didn't care. Her classmates called her a witch, just like with me...but in the end, that demon was killed by a single person...Larissa Devilo Toadstool."

Peach had gasped.

"Oh wow! You mean, Princess Peach's mother did that!?"

"Yeah...and I guess it wasn't much of a demon from hell if it could be killed from a Human being...but, I think Merluvlee wants to do the same thing to me...after the demon was gone, a litle girl named Pauline appeared out of nowhere, holding a baby in her arms...before she died, she gave the baby to Merluvlee...that baby was me. The evil had passed on from Merluvlee's first child into me."

"My god, that is incredibly insane!"

"Yeah, and it was so sudden...but now, I have a feeling someone else is trying to do the same thing as Merlee did..."

"So, now you understand all of this..." Aleisha had asked Peach.

"Yes...I am incredibly shocked...my mother didn't even tell me she did that!" Peach said.

"I'm not surpised that you are shocked about this. So, you see what she means now, the world was suppose to go in an apocalyptic phase 20 years ago, but the demon had been killed by your mom, and these baddies are trying to do the same thing that happened 20 years ago!"

"But, wait...when did this convo take place? Ashley seems so...normal."

"It happened way before she committed those school murders. But now, you must understand that you are all in danger! I will keep the bad guys as far away from Ashley as I possibly can. You just keep yourself and your friends to find safety."

"Okay...but still, this seems like such a huge deal. It's kind of scary..." Peach shrugged.

EOC.

Another not so exciting chapter, I know. None of the main characters haven't died yet, but they will very soon. Please review. k thanks and bye.
