Last time on Super Mario Mafia: Lakitu revealed that he had an ability to nightscan and revealed the profiles of Daisy and Mario who were Mafia and confirmed that Fly Guy was a townie. Since Daisy lied about her ability, she was lynched off and revealed to be mafia. A few hours later, a shocking twist in the game was made; someone's abilities were wiped out for the rest of the game! When morning came, the mafia got rid of Lakitu, a townie and the Neutral got rid of Mario, a mafia.

The final 10 went back to their own rooms to think about what moves they should make next. It was getting near the end of the game and more pressure was on. They had all been there for a week now and all of them had one thing on their minds: Winning the game.

The ratio was at 6-3-1. It was anyone's game at this point basically.

Lola carefully walked to the office, making sure no one was following her. She entered the office as quick as she could.

"Hello, I would like to use my ability on Birdo please."

"Ooooooh...sorry little lady, your ability was the one that was wiped out last night!"

Lola's jaw dropped. She could not believe what he had just said. Was she the next target?

Later, another person entered the office.

"I shall use my ability on...Jojora I guess."

"Done!"

The intercom came on as usual.

"SOMEONE'S ABILITIES HAVE BEEN REVERSED!"

"I wonder if that was mine..." Toadia said to herself.

Meanwhile, Diddy was laying down on his bed, talking to himself.

"I have to win this...I just have to! We're getting so close to the end and it would suck to lose now...maybe I shouldn't have used my ability because I knew I should've used it earlier in the game. Sigh...oh well, it doesn't matter now I guess. I just have to be cautious now because I don't know if I can handle this pressure..." He said to himself, really nervous.

Dixie entered the room.

"Were you just talking to yourself?" She asked.

"Yes, why?" Diddy said in a odd way.

"Oh...just wondering." Dixie replied in a odd way as well. There was an awkward silence.

Yet another person had entered the office in a rush.

"Hello! I would like to copy...TOADETTE please!"

"Okay, but your ability has been reversed so since you'll be stealing someone's abilities, that means you'll be be giving someone an extra ability for this time." Chuck explained.

The person facepalmed themselves, not wanting to give anyone a new ability because of how greedy they were. They left the office in despair.

"ATTENTION! DISCUSSION WILL START IN 5 MINUTES!" Chuck announced as loud as he could.

Right after the announcement was made, Toadia made her way to the office.

"I'll use my ability on Jojora right now."

"Okie dokie." Chuck replied with a smile.

"JOJORA MUST VOTE FOR HERSELF!"

"Oh God...so much for staying under the radar!" Jojora said in panic.

"Let's make our way to the living room, shall we?" Yoshi gestured and Birdo followed.

But in both of their minds, they had secretly suspected each other of being mafia, which might explain why they weren't talking with one another as much as they use to.

The final 10 gathered up in the living room, eager to find out more information.

"Alright everybody...the game is nearing the end! The majority is 6. Good luck to everyone!" Chuck said with a wink.

"Well I can't help you guys vote anyone seeing as how someone forced me to vote myself. Ugh!" Jojora pouted.

"I was the one who did that." Toadia confessed.

Everyone gasped.

"And care to explain why you did that to me?" Jojora asked while raising her eyebrow.

"Because I suspect you of being mafia. You've been staying under the radar this whole game but now it's becoming clear that you are either a mafia or a neutral. What is your ability?" Toadia said.

"I've been trying to stay under the radar so I won't get lynched because I want to win this badly! And my ability is that I get to re-direct someone's abilities when they attack me. Happy now?" Jojora said while rolling her eyes.

"Thank you Jojora, at least you confessed. So far, the confirmed townies we know of are Fly Guy and Toadia because they have been scanned." Luigi said.

"I hope you realize that they could just as easily have an ability that makes them come up townie when scanned. I don't fully trust either of them yet." Birdo said.

"But Lakitu said that Fly Guy had a useful ability though! Fly Guy, can you tell us your ability?" Toadette asked.

"My ability is that I know who a townie is but I cannot claim mason or tell anyone who it is unless I absolutely need to." Fly Guy said.

"Well it is DIRE at this point that you reveal, so yes, do just that!" Dixie pleaded.

"WHAT?" Fly Guy shrieked. "I hope you realize that if I confess who I know the townie is, then the mafia will nightkill them because I already confirmed that they are a townie!" Fly Guy was beginning to get frustrated.

"Vote Dixie. I'm sorry, but you've been a wild card this whole game and you've been under the radar as well. Plus, your wording seems to be too careful and panicky." Toadia said.

"You have got to be kidding me. I am NOT a mafia and I have a somewhat useful ability as well! My ability is that I can reverse someone else's ability so that when they use it, it will have an opposite!" Dixie revealed.

"A reverse ability? It DOES seem useful but I still don't see how that confirms you are a townie. Who did you use it on anyway?" Diddy asked while crossing his arms.

"I used it on Jojora because I suspect her of being mafia. But you know the weird thing is? I never got any confirmation that my ability was re-directed towards me." Dixie said then fiercely looked to Jojora.

"You got a defense for this, Jojora?" Yoshi said while putting his hands to his sides.

"It must've been a mistake then because I know for a FACT that I have a re-direct ability!" Jojora said in panic.

"Unvote Dixie. Something seems really suspicious here." Toadia said. Jojora gulped.

"Okay, enough with the lying. Were you the one who wiped my ability last night?" Lola vaguely asked.

"Huh? Yours was the one that was wiped out?" Yoshi said in confusion.

"Yep. And that ability is mafia-like as well and I wanna find out who did that." Lola said.

"Well Jojora? You got a defense?" Birdo asked while tapping her foot, impatiently.

"Alright, that's it. I confess. I am the Neutral and I have a copy ability and a nightscan ability, just like Lakitu had. The difference is, I get to nightscan every single night! That's right folks, I have scanned 6 people so far and 5 of them are still here. The other one I scanned was Chain Chomp who you all know is a townie now. I have scanned 3 mafia and 2 townies and I know their abilities and alliances. But since the Neutral is a threat to both alliances, I'm gonna make a nice little proposal here. If I am day lynched, I'm going to confess who the 2 townies I scanned were which will make the nightkillings easy for the mafia. If I am nightkilled, then I am going to write down who the 3 mafia I scanned were and slip it in a townie's room, making the day lynch easier for the townies. You all get where I am coming from now? Good because I plan on making a game twisting move right here. Oh, and for now, I am going to be on the mafia's side because you guys are having a lot of luck getting them out." Jojora explained with a devious smile.

Everyone was in shock. They couldn't believe what they had just heard.

"NO. WAY. I-I just don't believe this! You were the neutral this whole time? This is too much for me!" Toadette said.

"...I don't believe you. I honestly think you're just joking so you can make us scared about lynching you. Vote Jojora." Diddy said. Jojora laughed.

"You will make the town lose the game, Diddy. I already know 2 townie's profiles and I could just as easily reveal them to you all right now but I don't wanna do that cause I wanna keep this game as suspenseful as it is." Jojora said with another devious smirk.

"What I don't understand is, why would you side with the mafia when you've gotten rid of 3 of their members?" Yoshi asked while scratching his head.

"Because like I said, you townies are beginning to get really luck with getting rid of these mafia and you've had your time to shine but it's now the mafia's turn." Said Jojora with a wink.

"Oh boy, this is hectic. So what the heck are we gonna do now knowing that the neutral is blackmailing all of us and won't reveal any info?" Dixie said to everyone.

But nobody knew the answer. They all thought about what to do for the longest time.

"I vote Jojora." Fly Guy spoke. "Sorry, but this is the best proof we have all day of someone who is not a townie. This also saves us from a mis-lynch."

"I agree with Fly Guy and I vote Jojora too. Even if we don't vote her out, we'll be absolutely clueless on where to go next and Day 7 should not end in a no-lynch." Toadette explained.

"I couldn't agree more. Vote Jojora!" Luigi said.

"I'll clinch it and vote Jojora as well." Dixie said.

"AND MAJORITY HAS BEEN REACHED! Jojora...you have been eliminated from Mafia!" Chuck announced.

"Wow. Just wow. And to think I've been on the town's side this whole time. Whatever, you guys are pathetic and I am almost positive the mafia will win because of how paranoid you people are. Anyways, I scanned Toadia and she is also a Townie and you all know her ability obviously and I scanned Luigi who was also a townie and he can disable someone from voting and using abilities. Oh, and Mafia? You might wanna get rid of Fly Guy as well seeing as how he knows who a townie is and mafia never has that ability unless he's lying through his teeth. Good day." Jojora said and elegantly exited the mansion.

The rest of the players were once again in shock because of what Jojora had done. Because of this, the town's chances of winning had decreased seeing as how Jojora confirmed a couple of townies which made everything for the mafia easier.

"Wow, talk about a REAL twist, folks! Who knows what will happen next? Here is Jojora's profile!" Chuck announced and gave it to Yoshi.

Jojora,

You are the NEUTRAL and every even night, you get to nightkill anyone of your choice. You also have a copy ability which you can use everyday, and a nightscan ability which you can use every night. It will not be announced on who you scan.

"No...she wasn't lying! Oh God, we are gonna lose this game!" Birdo cried.

"Oh man, the mafia practically got this in the bag now." Fly Guy said with a facepalm.

"Okay, we HAVE to come up with some sort of strategy here because we don't even know who the last 3 mafia are! And after tonight, it will be 5-3 and if we mis-lynch tomorrow it will be 3-3 and the mafia will win!" Diddy explained.

"Gosh the mafia are probably laughing it up inside their heads right now. This is soooo unfair!" Toadette whined.

"I have a headache right now. This is just too confusing for me..." Yoshi said.

LATER THAT NIGHT:

The remaining 3 mafia already knew who they were lynching thanks to Jojora's help.

"I'm so glad the Neutral decided to be on our side for once. Now all we need is one more mis-lynch and we won the game!"

"Yep, now...GODFATHER! Who should we lynch tonight? Him...or Her?"

"...I shall make my own decision on this because I get to choose who gets to be eliminated." The Godfather explained and quickly walked to Chuck's office.

MORNING:

"Good morning everybody! Report to the living room for you-know-what!" Chuck announced on the intercom, which had awaken everyone up...AGAIN.

The final 8 quickly made their way to the living room.

"And here it is." He gave the profile to Dixie.

Toadia,

You are a TOWNIE and you can make someone vote for themselves each day.

"Ugh, of course." Diddy grunted.

"Well this was expected..." Yoshi said depressingly.

"But at least this confirms that Luigi and Fly Guy are townies. So in a way, Jojora helped the town as well." Birdo said with a smile.

"Yes, but we gotta be extremely careful for this day. One mis-lynch and we lose so we have to think about everything that has happened so far and find clues on who could be mafia." Luigi said.

EOC.

The Neutral is now gone. Who do you think the remaining Mafia are? Which alliance do you think will win?
