Hello again everyone! Where we last left off, Lucas decided to go on a killing spree and Falco feels bad about it. Before we continue on with the story, here are the results of the poll: Meta Knight curbstomped everyone else into the ground with 9 votes, trailing far behid in second place is King Dedede with 4 votes, Lucario's in third with three, and Falco only has one vote; maybe it's because he's a dick. Well, while I think of another poll, please enjoy this chapter.
BEWARE THE NICE ONES - PART 2
MURDER SPREE CONTINUES
Five more victims were claimed today as the castle's population of Smashers dwindles to half. In a fit of irony, someone set Mario on fire and put him in an oven. Pit was found with his wings cut off and he probably bled to death. Wario, huh? Oh right, he left, he's not dead. I hope he is though. Okay, make that four victims. The remaining two victims were the Ice Climbers, who died from being pushed off of the castle roof. The castle's security forces have been looking into this, but so far they've found no one. The killer's also killed a bunch of these guys but who cares about red shirts. More news will come as the story develops. Hold on, I think someone's at my door.
The paranoid Smashers continued to read the newspaper, trying to ignore Mr. Game and Watch's body hanging from the ceiling. Meanwhile, Meta Knight and Lucario were talking, worried about a certain someone.
"I still haven't seen any sign of Dedede... maybe he is..." said Lucario.
"No. Nope. I refuse to believe that King Dedede is the killer." denied Meta Knight.
"H-Hey, can I say something?" said Falco. He opened his mouth to speak when he noticed Lucas over at the kid's table, holding a Smart Bomb behind his back. "...Er... you guys are awesome and I hope the killer doesn't get you."
"...That's... uncharacteristic of you, but thanks." commented Lucario.
"...Alright, that's it." Meta Knight got on the table to address everyone else. "We need to catch this murderer."
"Yeah, no shit!" yelled Sonic.
"...Look, the only way to stop the killer is if we band together. They can't take all of us, whether he's attacking us or hiding inside the group." said Meta Knight. The other Smashers murmured, agreeing that this was a good idea. Except one person.
"Um, sorry, but that feels unsafe. Can I just hide somewhere?" said Lucas.
"But your chances of surviving will be better if you stick with people who can actually fight!" said Pikachu.
Lucas twitched his eyes. "Um, how about no. I think I'll be safer hiding somewhere." Lucas then got up and left the room. While everyone else thought that he was actually going to hide somewhere, Falco was pretty sure that he was plotting his next murder.
"...Hold on, what if Lucas is the murderer?" proposed local conspiracy theorist Snake.
"You're silly Snake!" laughed Yoshi.
"...That's something a murderer might say! Maybe you're killing everyone so you can gobble up the bodies!"
"What? Ew, no. That's disgusting, even for me."
"WAIT A MOMENT! What if... you were the killer Snake!" yelled Captain Falcon, pointing at Snake. "You can sneak around all stealthy like!"
"No, I would never do that!" denied Snake.
"Everyone calm down, before we all start fighting!" yelled Lucario.
"That's something a murderer might say!" replied Samus.
"Heck, what if all of us are the killers!" said Diddy Kong.
"That... that might be possible." said Peach.
"No! It doesn't make any sense! Stop arguing and just band together before people start dying again!" said Meta Knight.
"Yeah! Stop being a bunch of jackasses already!" said Falco, while thinking of a way to stop Lucas' carnage.
"I-I just want to-a lay down and forget the whole-a thing..." said Luigi. He left his table to lay down at another table that had space. A few seconds later, the table promptly blew up, taking Luigi with it. As everyone started screaming and accusing each other of murder again, Falco saw Lucas poking his head through a doorway, holding a detonator in his hands.
"Can you excuse me for a minute?" said Falco. Everyone was too busy yelling at each other to notice him. He shrugged and left the room to be with Lucas. As soon as he was sure both of them were alone, he started yelling at him. "What the hell Lucas! This seriously has to stop!"
"No. All of you need to die. All of you." said Lucas.
"Alright... then how about I stop you? Right here, right now?" said Falco, cracking his fists.
The boy just laughed at him. "But if you hurt me, everyone would think that you're the killer. And that would be terrible."
Falco sighed. "Lucas, I want you to stop being an asshole."
"That's not a nice thing to say to the person that decides whether you live or die."
"I thought you were going to kill all of us?"
"...Okay, I'm the person that decides whether you die quickly or slowly. ...Man, that sounds way less cooler!" pouted Lucas.
"...Yeah, that does sound coole- what am I saying! Lucas you better stop killing people!"
"And why should I? All of you are a bunch of assholes."
". . ." Falco didn't really have an answer to that.
"Right. So, just turn away and get on with life. You'll be the last one to go."
"...Wait, how can you kill the other Smashers now? They all just banded together; you seriously can't consider killing all of them!" pointed out Falco.
"I'll find a way!" said Lucas with a cheerful smile before skipping away to the land of sunshine and lollipops. I might have exaggerated that part. Falco sweatdropped before going back into the cafeteria. The first thing he saw was everyone pointing their weapons at Samus, while Ike's body was lying on the floor.
"-I killed him, but I was just suspicious, that's all! That doesn't mean that I'm the murderer!" said Samus.
"Samus, he was just picking up a knife to cut his steak!" yelled Meta Knight.
"Well excuse me for being crazy and paranoid like everyone else!"
"Goddamnit. One minute. I leave the room for one minute and you kill someone!" yelled Falco.
"Wait, you left the room?" said Lucario. Falco realized that he was getting suspicious glares from all around the room. He got all sweaty and tense. He needs to get the suspicion off of himself, and fast. Unfortunately, they probably wouldn't believe the whole Lucas thing or the old bathroom excuse, so he had one choice left.
"You guys think I'm the murderer? It's probably Dedede! Have any of you noticed that he's been pretty much missing since the killings started?" said Falco. He felt bad, but accusing Dedede of being the murderer would keep everyone else from suspecting that it was him.
"...Hey, he's right." said Jigglypuff. All of the Smashers started talking, coming to the same conclusion: Dedede is the killer. Falco sighed. While he was safe, he needs to find a way to reveal Lucas to the others and get the heat off of Dedede, wherever he was. He sat down with Meta Knight and Lucario, thinking of what to do.
"It looks like everyone's coming to the same conclusion..." said Meta Knight, trying to stop himself from believing that the killer is Dedede.
"...So Falco, what were you doing outside?" asked Lucario.
"...You probably wouldn't believe me."
"No, I trust you. Kinda."
"...Okay, look, Lucas is the killer and I just talked to him."
Lucario stared at him. "Yeah, that's pretty hard to believe."
Falco slammed his head on the table, frustrated with the whole situation. "Fine, I was in the restroom."
"Oh. You could have told us that you know."
"Ha ha, right..." Questions started to run through Falco's mind. How will he expose or stop Lucas? Can he do it before everyone kills Dedede? How come no one's coming back to life like usual? Where the hell is Dedede? He continued to ponder these questions while everyone was taking up arms, planning to take out Dedede when they see him.
To be continued...
If the chapters had titles instead of just being called parts, this chapter would probably be called, "People Arguing in a Room All Day." So, I forgot to mention this at the start, but check it out, I drew a cover for the story! Is it awesome or terrible? That's what the subject of the new poll is! I would like to see what you guys think of it. Well, see you guys next time!
