According to my story stats, this story is better overall than Attack of Giygas. This pleases and disappoints me at the same time. Attack of Giygas was meant to be my main story, and this one being a side project. In terms of stats, this easily overtook that story. So yes, I am proud and a bit sad about this.

But I will stop being a weaboo right now. Here's the next chapter of The Normals!

REIGN OF THE GARLIC KING - PART 2

Wario, aka, the Garlic Kingwas gone for most of the day, so the Smashers sat around anxiously, waiting to see what he'll do. Would he be an authentically good yet odd leader? Or will he screw everyone over? Everyone was pretty sure that it was the second thing. The Normals were at the castle library (come on, what kind of castle doesn't have a library? Other than Bowser's?), scanning through various house rulebooks to look for a way to boot Wario out of office.

"Okay... this one says that if Wario gets in an 'accident', he'll be replaced." said Falco, who was at the same time grabbing a book about pushing people down stairs.

"No, that won't work. Wario knows that everyone's out to get him." said Lucario. An explosion was heard outside. Shortly after that, Wario's laughter was heard. Lucario then picked up a piece of chalk and drew a line on a chalboard labeled, "Failed Assasination Attempts", which was now up to seven.

"There has to be some way to get Wario out of office. There must be a loophole somewhere..." said Meta Knight.

"A loophole is how I became king of Dreamland." stated Dedede.

"...How did a loophole put you in charge of a country?" asked Falco.

"A little bribe and very small text." said Dedede. "Seriously, it's pretty easy. If it weren't so easy though, I probably wouldn't have tried becoming king."

"...Out of laziness?" asked Lucario.

"Yup."

With that, everyone continued to search for a loophole. After a few more mintues of painful rule reading, the castle intercom suddenly switched on. Then, speak of the devil, Wario's voice came onto the air.

"Attention losers! This is the Garlic King speaking! I have announcements to make during dinner! So be there, or you'll be a loser! Actually, you'll be twice the loser you already are! Wahaha!" The intercom went silent. The Normals looked at each other. Although they hated having Wario as leader, they were curious to know what he has to say. Bringing their books with them (no one minds because who else would read rulebooks?), they leave the library and go into the lunchroom. The place was already packed with Smashers, who were yelling at someone inside a glass column. The column was made of bulletproof glass and inside of it was Wario, sitting on a throne made up of guns. It was miraculous that it hadn't exploded under him. And surrounding the glass was an entourage of threatening Primids armed with Beam Claws.

"What is this all about, Lord Asshole?" asked Ike. The name stuck with all of the Garlic King's detractors (aka everyone).

"Silence! I am the Garlic King! Now, first off, I have good news, so be grateful!" announced Wario. "That rat infestation on the third floor? I'm totally getting rid of it!" Some of the booing stopped. This was actually a good thing.

"Wow, that's pretty nice of you!" said Jigglypuff.

"I know! And I, the Garlic King, shall get rid of them... USING EXPLOSIVES!" Wario took out a detonator for all to see and before anyone could point out how dumb and reckless this is, he pushed it. They heard some explosions overhead, along with the screams of rats (...victory I guess?). Wario was triumphantly grinning. "No need to thank me... but if you do, I accept my thanks with cash."

"...Our room was on that floor..." said Lucas.

"Well go bunk with your frien- oh wait sorry, Ness is your only friend! Looks like you're sleeping outside, you crybaby loser!" laughed Wario. Lucas curled up into a ball and started crying while Ness glared at their king.

"That was a low blow, Lord Asshole." said Ness.

"Yeah, what the hell's wrong with you!" yelled Falco. The complaining and threats started up again. However, with a snap of Wario's fingers, the Primids fired their weapons into the air, immediately shutting them up.

"Quiet! Now, second thing... everyone who tried to kill me will now be arrested! No one messes with the Garlic King! Primids! Throw them into the tar pits!" The Primids spread out and started grabbing people from the crowd.

"When did we have a tar pit?" asked Young Link, who was nonchalant about being dragged away.

"It's right next to the solid gold statue of me." said Wario. "Oh yeah, I also used our money to build a gold statue of me. You're welcome!"

"I will fill your fat stomach full of lead!" yelled Samus, who was trying to fight the Primids. "You will die painfully and slowly... you'll be begging me to put a bullet through your skull!" Finally, the Primids managed to subdue her and drag her away.

"...Sheesh, what a downer." said Wario. "But now, how about some dinner?"

"Yay!" cheered the crowd. Maybe there would be one bright spot in this dumb tragedy.

"...Which I seasoned with garlic! I even put garlic in your ice cream! Save all of your thanks and money for later!" said Wario. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. Absolutely no one wanted garlic ice cream. The Smashers ran at the glass, trying all they can to break it; unfortunately, they did absolutely no damage. Wario stuck his tongue out at them. "Ha! You losers can't hurt me!"

"This is crazy." said Lucario.

"We need to get rid of Wario as soon as possible. We could practically be dead by Wednesday." said Meta Knight.

"...Hold on, it's only Sunday." pointed out Dedede.

"Exactly. Keep looking through those books; we can find somethin-"

"What is this? That midget knight guy is planning to stop me?" said Wario. As he said that, a Primid snuck up to Meta Knight and grabbed him from behind. "No one can stop me! I am the great Wario! Wahahaha!"

"I thought you were the Garlic King." said Fox.

"No, he's Lord Asshole." said Wolf.

"Shut up weird animal people! Take the shorty away!" commanded Wario. As Meta Knight was pulled out of the room, he said something that no one ever thought he would say.

"You sir are a dick." said Meta Knight with pure contempt in his voice. Everyone gasped, shocked that Meta Knight had used a curse word. Yes, he hates Wario that much right now.

"...Well, justice is served! Now, I'm off to put toll booths in the hallways! See you chumps later! Garlic King, away!" Wario pressed a button on his throne and everyone watched in awe as his gun throne shot at the ground, propelling him upward through a hatch in the ceiling. Everyone went to look at their selection of food and indeed, all of it smelled like garlic. Especially the ice cream. The Normals chose to sit dinner out while everyone else chose to brave through it.

"We need to get him out of here. He's a maniac." whispered Falco, looking over his shoulder to make sure no one's listening in.

"Yeah. Even I can't eat this slop. Way too garlic-y for me." said Dedede.

"But first off... what about Meta Knight?" asked Lucario, who was pondering whether they should jailbreak Meta Knight and the others (if you can jailbreak people from tar pits; does it look like I'm a tar expert?).

"No... we don't need him. We can kick Wario out of town without Meta Knight's help." said Falco confidently.

To be continued...

Yup, guess who's not going to be around for the rest of this arc? Sorry, but with Meta Knight around, he would probably solve the problem hyper-competently, like a moose in a cornfield. ...I was not sure where that metaphor was going. Or is it a simile? Anyway, how do you all feel about garlic ice cream? Give me your response in a poll I'm putting up in my profile. Yes, I really am putting a poll for that.
