THE MURDER AND VENGEANCE OF PITOO - PART 2
Lucario casually strolled through the castle, looking for Bowser so he could have a rational discussion to prevent him from hurting anymore innocents. Obviously, he's unaware that trying to be rational with Bowser is a terrible, terrible idea. Luckily, before he could seek the Koopa king out, he got tackled to the ground by Falco. What are friends for?
"Lucario, Bowser will kill you if he finds out you're aurachamp." growled Falco.
"I'm sure he'll listen to reason. Now get off of me. Seriously." said Lucario.
"Don't you see you idiot? Bowser's already an unreasonable idiot when he's not angry. Just imagine how he'll be like when he has an actual grudge!" yelled Falco. Lucario processed this, finally realizing that this is indeed a terrible idea. Then, they heard heavy footsteps heading toward them. Falco picked Lucario up as the footsteps got closer around the corner. "Shit, he's coming! We've got to get you out of here!"
Lucario replied with a nod as Falco began to drag him back to the rest of the group. Unfortunately, the footsteps kept getting closer. Meta Knight asked, "What do we do? There's nowhere to hide and he'll be suspicious if we run."
"We need something big..." said Falco. They thought long and hard... turning toward King Dedede.
"...Why are you guys looking at me?" he asked.
"Losers! Front and center!" yelled Bowser, stepping in front of the group dramatically. He surveyed the group. Meta Knight was normal, Falco looked like a jerk as usual, and King Dedede... was fatter than he usually is.
"He ate a lot for lunch." Meta Knight answered for Dedede. The giant penguin nodded, trying to keep his mouth closed for reasons that should be obvious to you.
"Uh-huh. So anyway, do you boring normal people know 'aurachamp'? He beat me in a match of Uprising, and he needs to pay! Nobody makes a mockery of the great Bowser!" yelled Bowser.
"I suppose Mario doesn't count?" said Falco. Bowser glared at him for a few seconds before punching his face. Yep, without Fox around, Falco's the new butt monkey. I apologize to everyone who didn't want to see Falco get punched in the face.
"Bowser, I assure you that none of us is 'aurachamp'." lied Meta Knight. Bowser looked like he was going to clock him too, but instead, Bowser turned off, heading into another direction. Since Meta Knight was the msot truthful person in the castle, he assumed that he was telling the truth. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, turning back to them.
"Hey, where's that blue chump that hangs out with you?" asked Bowser.
"Courtyard." answered Meta Knight. Bowser huffed and headed toward the courtyard so he could press Lucario. When he was out of sight, King Dedede's mouth opened as Lucario climbed out of his stomach in a nonchalant manner.
"Thanks for hiding me." said Lucario. King Dedede responded by bonking him on the head with the hammer.
"You taste horrible! If you hide inside my mouth ever again, I'll end you!" yelled Dedede.
"That's fair I guess."
"Ow... God this story hates me." muttered Falco before getting on with the plot. "Okay, we have to find a place to hide you until he calms down."
"I propose we hide him somewhere Bowser isn't likely to loo-" said Meta Knight.
"We tried that two chapters ago you idiot! And that went real fabulously!" yelled Falco sarcastically.
"...I'm not an idiot." Meta Knight said in a quiet voice.
"Maybe we could hide in the item storage place." suggested Dedede. "No one goes to that boring place anyway and there's weapons there."
"Perfect." said Falco.
They were hiding out in a large storage room that was filled to the brim with items used for brawls. Huge pipes hung overhead that moved around, sucking up items to be used in the current match. And now you know where the items come from. Anyway, Meta Knight and Falco was stacking up a fort with several crates, with King Dedede and Lucario hiding inside.
"Okay, you'll stay here until the storm passes. Get food from the party balls if you're hungry." suggested Meta Knight as he put a crate in place.
"Wait, they keep food in the party balls? And we don't use them for lunch?" asked Lucario.
"They're stuffed with so many preservatives that they're tastless junk. Still good for solving your hunger problems though." said Falco.
"And tell me why I'm staying with him again?" said Dedede.
"You're the tank, so you'll have an easier time defending Lucario if Bwoser finds you guys." said Meta Knight.
"But..."
"Me and Meta Knight have a match later anyway. Get the hell over it." said Falco, leaving the room with Meta Knight. To further prove that theyre on their own, he shut off the lights, leaving them in the dark.
"...I'm scared." admitted King Dedede.
Falco and Meta Knight were headed towards the stage teleporter room in preperation for their match, which wasn't actually a lie so they could get out of protecting Lucario. But as they neared the room, they heard Bowser's angry stomps. They turned to see the giant turtle confronting them.
"Where's Lucario?" growled Bowser. Judging by his anger, Meta Knight and Falco figured that Bowser had spent the last hour since they last seen him threatening the other Smashers and finally figured out that 'aurachamp' is Lucario. They shared glances before looking back to Bowser.
"Haven't seen him." lied Falco. He jumped backward before Bowser's fist could connect with his face.
"Don't lie! He's so obviously aurachamp!"
"And you didn't realize it till now?" said Falco with mild amusement. His eyes widened as Bowser took out a Bob-omb and threw it into his face. He took out another one, this time threatening Meta Knight.
"Go ask the Minister. We don't know." said Meta Knight, string at the bomb in his hands. Bowser could tell he was lying this time, but he still made a good suggestion. Bowser walked off in search of the Ancient Minister as Falco wiped the soot off his face.
"Cough... why would you tell him to ask the Minister? He might tell Bowser where Lucario is!" yelled Falco, calling Meta Knight out.
"It'll be okay. Its not as if the Ancient Minister knows where everyone is at all times." said Meta Knight.
The Ancient Minister looked at a computer. "UH-HUH. ACCORDING TO THESE SENSORS THAT TELL ME WHERE THE TRACKING DEVICES I HID IN ALL YOUR FOOD IS..." Bowser felt uncomfortable about this fact, but anger overrided the will to throw up his lunch. "...LUCARIO IS IN THE STORAGE ROOM WHERE WE KEEP OUR ITEMS."
"...You guys actually keep that stuff somewhere?"
"WE DON'T USE MAGIC TO SUMMON THEM. NOT SINCE JIGGLYPUFF GOT ARRESTED FOR BLACK MAGIC. ANYWAY, I HOPE YOU GIVE LUCARIO MY CONDOLENCES. I DIDN'T KNOW HE HAD AN EMBARRASSING SKIN CONDITION THAT FORCES HIM TO HIDE FROM EVERYONE ELSE."
"Yep. I'll give him your condolences all right." said Bowser with an evil grin.
To be continued...
You know, I'm sort of used to updating this story in small bursts. It's grown on me.
Also, I've made a tumblr awhile ago. I was just using it to track the people I like, but I may as well do something constructive with it. Just type in my username without uppercases and put the tumblr end thingy. I might use it to post progress on things I'm currently writing. And reblog Homestuck shit. Right then, see you guys in the next part of The Normals!
