Later, Revolta was having the Creeper crank open the roof. "There's no time to waste, Grim Creeper." Revolta said. "Get cranking!"
"Yes, Revolta." The Grim Creeper said, saluting, before cranking open the roof. Revolta then walked over to the spider bat with a picture of Luigi in her hand.
"This is your target." Revolta said, showing the spider bat the picture of Luigi. However, the spider bat squeaked in confusion, wince he was hanging upside-down, & the photo was right-side up, making it look upside-down to the spider bat. Revolta, realizing this, turned the picture upside-down, making it look right-side up to the spider bat. It then squeaked in realization, now knowing who he should go after. Revolta raised her wand & hands around the spider bat. "Now heed these words & heed them well." She chanted. "Find those fools & weave them well." With that, the spider bat flew out of the roof, off to find Luigi. "Fly, spider bat, fly." Revolta said. "Soon that teacher will be learning from me." She finished, then began laughing evilly. The Creeper began laughing as well. Once hw was done, Revolta looked over at him. "Don't just stand there." She said. "Close that skylight. There's a draft in here." The Creeper simply complied & began turning the crank the other way, closing up the skylight.
"Y-yes, Revolta." He said as he turned the crank. Meanwhile, the spider bat flew towards Grimwood School. Toad was asleep in hi bedroom when a tapping against his window woke him up. He drowsily opened his eyes.
"Uh, wha?" He said, half-asleep. He turned his head towards the window & saw the blind batting against the window. "Mmmh." He moaned, sitting up. He got up off the bed & shambled towards the window. He jumped up & grabbed the ring on the cord on the bottom of the blind & pulled on it. He then released the ring, causing the blind to, swing open, showing the spider bat outside. This woke Toad up fully, frightening him. "WWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" He screamed, running out of the room into Mario's room. He began jumping up & down on Mario. "MARIO!! MARIO!!" He shouted. "WAKE UP!!" Right away Mario was woken up, rather abruptly at that.
"TOAD! TOAD!" Mario shouted, trying to get Toad to stop. "I'm awake!" Immediately Toad stopped jumping on him, looking down at him. He then jumped off of Mario, looking up at him. Mario lay in his bed, looking rather battered from being jumped on
"Mama mia." Mario moaned softly. He looked down at Toad. "What is it-a, Toad?" He asked.
"There's a bat outside my window!" Toad said, still frightened by what he saw. Mario looked at him.
"A bat?" He asked, still groggy from being woken up. Toad nodded his head furiously at this.
"Yes, Mario." Toad said. "A bat. Come see." Mario raised a hand to calm Toad down.
"Don't-a get your cap in a knot, Toad." Mario said. "I'm-a coming." With that, Mario got out of bed & walked to Toad's room. After a while of being somewhat sped up a few times by Toad, Mario walked into Toad's room. "Okay, Toad." Mario said. "Where was-a this bat?" Toad pointed to the window that the bat was in.
"Out that window, Mario." Toad said. Mario looked at the window & walked over to it. He grabbed the ends of the window & opened it looking outside. However, when he looked, he saw absolutely nothing.
"Looks like that bat's-a gone, Toad." Mario said. "I don't-a see it." He then closed the window & turned around to walk out of the room. "You can-a rest easy." Mario said as he left the room to return to his own. Toad walked over to the window.
"Alright, Mario." He said. He jumped up to the blind & grabbed the ring at the end of the cord attached to the blind, pulling it down. However, upon letting go of the ring, leaping to the floor, & looking up, his face went frightened again as he saw the spider bat was now in the room, having actually hidden in the blind. "AAAHH!!" He screamed. "MARIO!!" He shouted, running back into Mario's room, disturbing his sleep once again. Mario was shaken awake once again, sitting up & Toad jumped into his lap, looking him right in the face.
"MARIO!" Toad shouted, waving his arms about. "THE BAT'S BACK!! THE BAT'S BACK!! QUICK!! COME SEE!!" With that, Toad grabbed Mario's hand & ran back to his room.
"Alright, Toad, I'm-a comiIIIAAAAAAAAAAHH!!" Mario shouted as he was drug through the air by a frantic Toad who was running to his room. Once they got their, Toad stopped, causing Mario to fall to the ground, since he was flying through the air & had no floor below him the whole entire way. Toad then looked down at Mario & began jumping up & down, pointing at his window.
"Right there." He said. "It's in the blind." Mario looked up at Toad, then the blind he was pointing to.
"Hmph." Mario groaned. "Okay. I'll-a check." He said, standing up. He walked over to the blind & pulled it down, showing nothing but a blank orange space. After giving the blinds a scrutinizing look, he looked at Toad. "I don't-a see it."
"But it was there." Toad said, trying to get Mario to believe him.
"I think-a being here at Grimwood has taken its-a toll on you." Mario said. "I'll-a ask Luigi to schedule a field trip for-a the class tomorrow. That way, we-a can all get away from Grimwood for a while." With that, he rolled the blinds back up, turned, & walked back out of the room. Toad just stayed there, feeling hurt at not being believed.
"But… " He said, quietly. "But it was." He stayed paused in that position for a while, staring at the door. After a while, he looked up at his blind, then, deciding there was nothing he could do to convince Mario of what he saw, jumped up &pulled it back down before returning to bed. Meanwhile, in Luigi's room, Luigi was fast asleep in his bed, blissfully unaware that there was a spider bat in the room with him that very moment. The bat managed to sneak into Luigi's room after Toad ran to get Mario a second time. The spider bat hung from the top of his bed, looking down at him, knowing he was his target. Without any hesitation, he spread open his wings, which sparkled with red magic, & flew down to Luigi. He then immediately began to weave a pair of headphones made out of spider webbing to Luigi's ears, first the left, then the right. Once it was done, it flew away as the spider web headphones began sparkling red, working Revolta's magic into Luigi.
"You will do exactly as I say." Revolta's voice hypnotically boomed into Luigi from the spider web headphones he was wearing. Luigi then opened his eyes, which began to look mesmerized.
"I will do-a exactly as you say." Luigi said in a mesmerized tone of voice.
"Tomorrow morning, you will take the girls on a little field trip to the Barren Bog." Revolta said into her glowing red wand, using it as a microphone to implant her hypnotic orders into Luigi.
"Little-a girls, field trip, to the Barren Bog." Luigi repeated.
"& then those girl ghouls will be mine. Heh heh heh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaa." Revolta replied into the microphone.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." Luigi laughed, before the spider web headphones wore off & vanished, thereby returning him to sleep. Back at Revolta's lair, she walked up to the Grim Creeper.
"Heh ha ha- a hiccup" The Grim Creeper laughed before Revolta knelt down & looked him directly in the eye, making him stop laughing.
"Don't just stand there." Revolta said. "Get to the Barren Bog & set my traps." The Grim Creeper then nervously began backing away.
"Yes, Revolta." The Grim Creeper said, turning around & leaving for the Barren Bog.
