Moments After Myra Rang the Doorbell
Nyx opened the door, seeing Myra in front of her. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah, uh… does Nyx live here, by any chance?"
"Yeah, this is Nyx? You're not here about any sort of bill or anything, are you? I'm pretty sure Jade paid them all off this month."
"What? Oh no no, I'm not some sort of bill collector or anything. Princess Peach suggested I come here via… well, a map." She pulled it up from her phone. "See?"
"Oh! Wonder what-" Nyx stopped, narrowing her eyes at Myra. "You look… familiar."
"I do?"
Nyx's eyes widened. "Wait a minute… Myra Shadowheart? I've read about you in a history book once! You stopped the Dark Star back in Queen Lemony's era. You were the heroine of the Mushroom Kingdom! The illustrations were definitely on point."
Myra blushed. "I'm in a history book?" …I definitely don't know how I should feel about that.
"Yeah! Goodness, I'm such a fan of your work… though it did say that you vanished… wait, hold on, is this a prank? Is someone cosplaying as you?"
Myra tilted her head in confusion. "Cos… play…? What's that?"
"Oh… so you're not a cosplayer then. You're the real deal. How's the afterlife?"
"I'm not dead, just… four centuries older."
"Really? You were lost in time too?"
"Yea-... wait, what do you mean to- wait, you're a friend of Laxus, aren't you?"
"Yeah." Nyx smiled. "Come on in."
Myra turned her head. "Hey, she's letting us in."
"Us?" Nyx wondered as she walked in along with El Cinco. "El Cinco?!"
"Hola!" El Cinco greeted warmly. "Esta es tu casa? Es bastante bonito!" (This is your home? It's quite nice!)
"Thank you." Nyx smiled.
"So, you're Nyx then?"
"Yeah, my full name's Nyx Shadow."
"Shadow?" Myra said in surprise. "Huh… you wouldn't-"
"Last I checked, I'm not a descendant of a secret Shadow tribe or anything as far as I know."
"Sorry, it just sounded nearly similar to mine…" Myra chuckled and noticed Hajime. "Oh, um, is this your boyfriend?"
"What? Oh no no, I'm just a good friend." Hajime chuckled. "I'm Hajime Hinata."
"Hiiiii!" Elfilin flew over to her. "I'm Elfilin!"
BB-8 let out a few friendly chirps as he rolled on over.
"Oh, hello… "Beep Boop"?" Myra tilted her head.
"He says his name is BB-8." Nyx said. "Don't worry, you'll slowly understand him."
"I… see." She said as the Smorg peeked out of Myra's cloak.
"Smo? Smorg smorg!" He hopped out, landing on top of BB-8, who let out a surprised boop but also looked up. "Smorg? Smorg smo!"
"Cute!" Elfilin giggled.
"Curious…" Nyx knelt down as she gently touched the Smorg. "A Fuzzy that's actually friendly… unless this isn't exactly a Fuzzy…"
"It's a Smorg. I created this myself when… uh… it's complicated to say." Myra rubbed her head.
"Oh, I'm definitely curious about your time." Nyx smiled. "Though, I think the whole team oughta know." She started to text her whole team.
Hey, come on up in the living room.
A few moments later, the team came up to meet the duo. "El Cinco? I didn't think he'd show up here." Jade said. "Hola~!"
"Hola!"
"Guys, this is Myra Shadowheart. Myra, this is team JINXY. Jade Gadd-"
"Hey."
"Iris Icaria."
"Sup?"
"Of course, there's myself and there's Xena."
"Hey!"
"Oh, and Rantaro too. He's like… an honorary member of JINXY. He likes to hang out with us."
Rantaro smiled. "Hey."
"So team JINXY… wait, that's JINX. Where's the Y?"
Xena smiled. "There's something special about us."
"Us? What do you mean by-"
Yagami immediately took over. "Yo! Name's Yagami."
"Huh?!" Myra looked on in surprise. "How did- wait… two people in one body?"
"More like two personalities in one body, but I've evolved into my own person." Yagami said as Xena hopped on out.
"Yeah, now we're twins!" Xena grinned as Myra immediately investigated the two, checking them out.
"Fascinating… a personality becoming their own person… and because of that, you more than likely refer to yourselves as "we" if you're in one body as to not leave the other personality out. I would be overwhelmed by this, but given the tour I had over my own home town, this is… something I'm strangely okay with."
She curiously poked them. "Yup, both of you are real… holy crap. This is fascinating! I think I like you two~!" She grinned.
"We're already a hit with her!" Yagami grinned, high fiving Xena.
"Two personalities, two different voices… yeah, that makes sense." Myra nodded, watching the two merge again with Yagami being the dominant one. "I'm curious to hear more about you two."
At that moment, Myra started to sniff the air. "Wait… something smells good right now. What's that delicious smell?"
"I'm baking brownies!" A voice said as Umber walked out of the kitchen. "Though I'd bake some brownies for Chiaki when she woke up as a "Glad you're feeling better from that hangover" treat. Unfortunately, my timing stinks. She woke up and decided to take a shower right as I put them in the oven…" He laughed. "Ah well."
"Hey there." Myra greeted. "What's your name?"
"Umber Lightwave. I've overheard that your name's Myra Shadowheart. Nice to meet ya!"
They heard hopping as Agni and Rudra hopped over. "Hi. I'm Agni!"
"Rudra!"
"We're Umber's swords!"
Myra blinked before laughing. "Talking animated swords… sure, why not?" She giggled.
"Inconcebible... Nunca antes había conocido espadas tan curiosas…" El Cinco mused. (Inconceivable… I've never met such curious swords before...)
Myra blinked. "Wait a minute…" She looked directly at Jade. "Did you say your name is… Gadd?"
"Yeah?"
Myra frowned. "Oh… um… well, this is awkward…"
"What's wrong?"
"Back in my time, I've heard from an ex-friend of mine that Elvis P Gadd was a sexist pig… so, I'm having a hard time with Gadd, honestly…"
"Oh, my ancestor… hang on, I have a few of his notes lying around here somewhere. My grandfather actually gave me my ancestor's journal." Jade said as she went into her room, and then came back out. "This might clear things up a bit."
"You… sure about that?" Myra asked.
"Let's see here… I know I saw this entry around here somewhere-... ah!"
BGM: It Began With a Letter (Kingdom Hearts)
May 1st
"Well, this is unfortunate, but it had to be done. My assistant Viola Silverlung-"
"Silverlung?" Umber and Rantaro quietly mouthed with raised eyebrows.
"-Left me after a major dispute. She was a star studded pupil with an overactive imagination… but the problem was, she's downright sadistic. A lunatic! She makes these constant inventions that would cause great harm to folks. A water bottle that can replace water with uranium and be given to an unsuspecting victim. A robotic rabbit that can tear someone's flesh off just by petting it! A baseball glove that can activate a bomb and blow up the neighborhood just by someone throwing an innocent baseball! Said she wanted to give Sledge Ruth a legacy to remember…
And those are just the ones on the top of my head as I'm writing this. She's a barbarian! She's insane! She's a menace to society… no, calling her a menace to society would be an insult to "menaces to society". She's extremely dangerous!
Unfortunately, as I told her she was uninvited to this party I was going to, she flipped out on me… I was afraid she was going to kill me, so in my panic, I went for the one thing I swore I would never do. Turn to sexism. I blatantly told her that women aren't great scientists or… however I said it, that moment was a blur to be perfectly honest.
The next thing I knew, she knocked the afro out of my head and she stormed out. I think she wants to prove me wrong that women scientists can be great. I think I told her the community hates her too. If I had just told her the truth, well… I'd more likely be dead, but I'd be dead with my dignity intact.
Sadly, turning to sexism will definitely be my biggest regret in my life. Someone had to say something to this lunatic… but due to my cowardice, she's out there potentially destroying victims.
I will definitely die with regret… if only I listened to my gut and didn't take her under my wing… - Elvis"
End BGM
"So he really was a good guy… just accidentally went to sexism in a panic because of how morbid she was…" Myra closed her eyes. "Jade, forgive me… it sounded like all Gadds were bad the way how Viola was saying it."
"Oh, don't worry about it. We Gadds are all eccentric, yet we're nice folks!" Jade smiled.
"So, what was your story like back in the day? We can share stories." Iris said. "I got plenty of good ones."
"Well, let's see here…"
Several stories, sans Jade, later…
"Dang… you really gave her a lot of chances…" Yagami said.
"I didn't think she was that horrible! I thought she was just eccentric at worst but… nope… I'm the one who didn't tighten the leash and look where that got me…"
"We all make mistakes. No one's immune." Nyx said.
"Yeah…"
"Though color us surprised." Yagami said as she turned to Umber. "We didn't know you were actually born in Johto."
"Didn't I tell you? I could've sworn I did." Umber rubbed his head. "But yeah, I was born in Johto, then later on in life, I moved to Kanto for a few years before I moved to Alola when I was eleven."
"Cool!" Myra smiled. "Although, I didn't know your name was actually Hector Bernal."
"Nunca preguntaste." El Cinco smiled. (You never asked.)
Myra raised a finger before lowering it. "Okay, fair… though you keep calling yourself El Cinco though."
"Eso es porque Héctor murió... aunque ahora que lo pienso, sigo vivo en espíritu." (That's because Héctor died… although now that I think about it, he's still alive in spirit.)'
Myra grinned. "Exactly!"
El Cinco, or in this case, Hector smiled. "Llámame o. Estoy bien de cualquier manera!" (Call me either or. I'm fine either way!)
Myra smiled, turning to Jade. "Alright, your turn."
"Oh man, pressure's on… where do I begin?" She chuckled. "Let's see… I'm the daughter of two great ghost busters, but unfortunately, they were killed while out on the field."
"What happened…? Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to be insensitive-"
"No no, I'm over it." Jade said. "They were turned to stone by none other than King Boo-"
Myra's eyes widened, she put her hands over her mouth in horror.
"Dios mio…" Hector mumbled, looking over at Myra sadly.
"His stupid gem turned them to stone and he sucked their souls out… I swore I would get them back with the help of my grandfather, Elvin Gadd. Then I finally confront him with Luigi, JNPR and a few others and then King Boo used his magic to reveal my petrified parents, and then… he shattered them in front of me."
Myra immediately paled. "Oh god…"
"Hmm?" Nyx looked at Myra with a concerned "are you okay?" look in her eyes.
"I put him away inside of a portrait, thankfully he hasn't gotten out yet. Then, after that, I became leader of Team JINXY, found my long lost grandmother, I'm in a relationship with a really cute girl named Futaba and, yeah, that's pretty much-"
Jade finally noticed Myra acting weird. "Are you okay? You look sick… was my story too overwhelming? I'm sorry-"
"No… it's not that."
Myra closed her eyes. "There's… something I've omitted in my story. Back then, I knew King Boo."
"You knew him? Oh great, was he tormenting you too? I can rela-"
"No. In fact, he was actually really nice. He and I ran into each other a few times and we helped each other out…"
"Oh. Really… he was nice? Wonder what happened… did he go mad after you vanished? I can see that happening, and then he got corrupted-"
"No… he didn't go mad with power. I made him go mad with power."
Jade blinked. "What do you mean?"
"I found this cute jewel over in Banshee's Retreat after I took care of a problem. I thought it would look stylish on King Boo so I… gave it to him. And then he went crazy after he wore it. I tried to get it out… Viola, despite her craziness, actually offered to try and help, but nothing worked… King Boo killed your parents… because of me."
"...What…" Jade said, her voice lowering.
"It was an accident, I swear… my grandmother warned me that something felt off, but I thought nothing of it. And because of that-"
"My parents are dead… because of you…"
A shadow was cast over Jade's eyes, she clenched her fists angrily as she harshly glared at Myra, tears swelling in her eyes.
"You were the one who corrupted King Boo… MY PARENTS ARE DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!" She yelled.
Ding!
"...O-Oh! Uh… the brownies are done… aheheheh…" Umber grabbed Hajime and Rantaro. "Come on, you two. Let's go taste those brownies to see if they're good!" He said, pulling them away.
"Whoa!" Both of them yelped, and then Umber grabbed Elfilin.
"That goes for you too!"
"Oh!"
BB-8 immediately rolled on over to the kitchen, letting out some concerned booping.
"Jade, let's just calm down for a moment." Nyx said gently. "Myra didn't mean-"
BGM: Tears of My Light (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)
"You don't get it! All my life, I wanted to save my parents from King Boo, I wanted to save them! And then the moment I had my chance, he destroys their bodies… and then he had the audacity to say they've been dead for a long time… and then SHE shows up and tells us that she was the one responsible for their death!"
Jade growled. "You… you call yourself a heroine of the Mushroom Kingdom, but all you've ever done was watch Viola destroy everything in the Lost Levels and you didn't raise a FINGER to stop her! Everything you've done is all your damn fault! You didn't even stop King Boo from going crazy!"'
"I tried! But for some reason, the jewel just zapped me off and King Boo nearly killed me in his power high…"
"And who's fault was that?! It's all you! And it's thanks to YOU, King Boo tore my family away from me! You call yourself a hero… but in reality, you were complacent, letting Viola do her stuff before you finally got your head out of your ass and realized she's a horrible person! And you know what? You're nothing more than a fraud!"
"Jade, that's not true. I'm not a fraud, I'm-"
"If you're a hero, then where's my family that was ripped away from me?"
"I…" Myra closed her eyes, looking away in shame.
"Jade…" Nyx frowned.
"You disgust me, I don't even want to look at you… GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!" She screamed.
"Um, for the record, this is my house…" Nyx pointed out.
"Whatever!" Jade turned around and stormed off. "I don't even want to see this fraud in my sight again!"
SLAM!
Nyx sighed. "Girls… can you go calm Jade down?"
"We'll go get Futaba. She's still in the simulation room." Yagami teleported away while Iris immediately went to Jade's room to check on her.
"Thanks…" Nyx turned to Myra. "Look, don't worry about-" She noticed Myra was gone as Hector pointed toward the balcony where Myra was leaning against the railing.
Nyx approached her. "You uh… you feeling okay?"
"No…" Myra mumbled. "She's absolutely right though. I did nothing to stop Viola, I indirectly killed Jade's folks…" She sighed. "Some hero I turned out to be…"
Nyx leaned against the railing with her. "To be honest with you, I've never seen Jade that pissed before. I've seen her upset, but nothing like that."
"She absolutely deserves to be angry though… I'm nothing but a fraud."
"Now now, you're not a fraud to me." Nyx said, gently rubbing her back. "To tell the truth, she says she's over it… but I've caught her a few times feeling down on herself. She thinks no one knows that she's hurting… but I know. Hell, I think her girlfriend knows too. We all say we're over it, but sometimes, the pain can be too much and you just hide it, thinking you're okay but the scars run deeper than you think."
"And I'm one of those scars…" Myra sighed. "Sorry, I'm not usually down on myself. I'm usually a lot chipper than this."
Nyx smiled. "So, yeah, while you did screw up… just know that we all screw up all the time. Some of us worse than others." She chuckled.
"That… honestly makes me feel a bit better." Myra smiled and then looked down at the backyard. "...Are you actually building something in the yard?"
"Yeah, finally got on Jade's case… she can build an entire lab in my home, not to mention make an entire simulation room… yet she can't build a pool? I asked her that last summer since it was a bit of a scorcher and she never got around to it. This time, she finally relented since I refuse to melt a second time."
"You threatened her, did you?"
"I might have threatened that the twins and I could easily play with some power ups and destroy her lab again. Boy, I've never seen someone immediately pull out some blueprints and start working." She giggled. "...Think she also used a Hammer Bros suit and threw a hammer at me in frustration for daring to even think about ruining her lab again." She sighed, shaking her head. "That headache was worth it though. She did apologize since she was aiming for my chest and her hand slipped, but I'm over it."
Myra chuckled. "Ouch."
"Yeah… I wouldn't worry about Jade though. She's usually very friendly and nice to everyone. She'll come around."
"You think so…?"
"Yeah, I've never seen her this upset, but I know she comes around." Nyx smiled sweetly at her.
"Hey, brownies are done!" Umber walked in, placing them on the table. "Also decided to make some pink lemonade too." He said as Elfilin came in with a pitcher full of it, with Hajime helping him as BB-8 carried some glasses in with Rantaro.
"Wow…" Myra smiled. "They smell good."
"Yeah." Umber chuckled. "I'm a little good with cooking but I've discovered I'm amazing at baking. Cookies, cake, brownies, you name it."
"You feeling okay?" Hajime asked.
"I'm… feeling a little better after Nyx cheered me up. What Jade said stung like hell though…"
BB-8 let out some boops.
"I've already said that, bud." Nyx said.
BB-8 gave her a thumbs up in understanding.
"...A robot that gives a thumbs up. Huh. What will they think of next…" Myra chuckled.
"I smell something delicious." A voice said as they turned to see Chiaki walking out with a towel over her shoulders.
"Hey, look who's up and about!" Umber said with a smile. "How you feeling?"
"A lot better. I heard someone screaming like a banshee so I decided to stay in the shower a little longer until it was safe to come out." Chiaki chuckled.
"Ah, that's a long story. Brownie? I was hoping they'd be done before you woke up, but eh, what can you do. I call 'em "Feeling better after your hangover" brownies."
"That's a mouthful." Chiaki rolled her eyes with a chuckle as she took a brownie. "So, who's the new girl?"
"This is Myra Shadowheart." Nyx said. "Myra, this is Chiaki Nanami."
"Hey."
"Yo." Chiaki greeted. "So, what's her story?"
End BGM
One story later…
"Interesting… must've been a heck of a culture shock four hundred years later." Chiaki said.
"That's an understatement." Myra sighed with a chuckle.
"Also, I must have some water in my ear… did I actually hear you say "Shadow Queen"?"
Myra summoned her staff. "Hey grandmother, you wanna show yourself?"
A purple Crystal Star?! Chiaki thought in surprise as Vivian came out of the staff, though due to the light from the sunset, she was in her true shadow form.
"Greetings, I am Vivian Shadowheart, the Shadow Queen."
"Wow, shadowy!" Umber said.
"Huh, neat!" Nyx said and then when the sun lowered some more, Vivian turned into her more human self.
"O-Oh my…" Chiaki said.
"I can see some distrust in you. Fear not, I'm actually good."
"Guh-Goo-wha-... huh?!" Chiaki jawdropped. "Yuh-you mean to tell me that-..."
"Apparently so." Hajime nodded.
Chiaki blinked, putting her hand to her head as she started mumbling to herself. "Oh my gosh, have I been playing Thousand Year Door wrong? Was there some secret lore that I missed in every playthrough? No, I'm pretty sure there wasn't anything I missed with that lore dump on top of Frankly's house… unless there was something I missed? Was Shadow Queen good all along and we just killed a good person? No no no, that doesn't make sense… maybe when the remake comes out, they'll put more lore into it… no, wait, no, that won't work. Have I been playing Thousand Year Door wrong and I missed a crucial detail on the Shadow Queen's life?!"
"Uuuuh… is she okay?" Myra asked.
"Oh, I think she's having an existential gaming crisis." Nyx sweatdropped.
"Maybe I should start up a new file and scour every inch of the game… maybe you get some lore on the Star Pieces and it details the Shadow Queen's early years… maybe if I get all the Star Pieces this time, I'll-"
"I got this." Umber said, grabbing Chiaki by the shoulders and started to shake her.
"Waaaaaah!" Chiaki yelped."
"Heeeey, earth to gamer giiiiirl! Turn that rocket ship around and join us back in reality!"
"Okay, okaaaaay, stop shaking meeeee!" Chiaki cried, her eyes swirly as Umber stopped.
"Okay, she's back with us!" Umber smiled as Chiaki stumbled about, catching a side railing to catch herself.
"Hooo… okay… everything stopped spinning…"
BB-8 let out a few snarky boops.
"Nah, that was way more fun!" Umber grinned.
"So, can you tell me yours… when you're not dizzy?" Myra asked.
"My what…? Oh!" Chiaki shook her head. "Yeah, well, you see-"
"Chiaki-chaaaaan~!"
Ibuki hugged Chiaki from behind.
"Oh! Hey Ibuki!" Chiaki giggled.
"Oh, Ibuki couldn't wait anymore! She wanted to give ya a hug!"
"Oooh, brownies!" Deadpool said as he picked one up. "Is this one laced with anything?"
"Uuuuh… noooo?" Umber raised an eyebrow.
"Well, you're boring!" Deadpool said as he took a bite. "Most boring brownie in the world."
"Why would I lace my brownies with anything, dude?!"
Ibuki turned to Myra. "Hi hi hi! Name's Ibuki! I-B-U-K-I M-I-O-D-A! Ibuki Mioda~!"
"Uuuuh…. Hiiiiii?" Myra took a step back from her with a weirded out expression. "Is she always this eccentric?" She whispered.
"Yes, she is~!" Ibuki said before Nyx could say anything. "She's got really good hearing and yes, Ibuki likes to refer to herself in the third person because it's a lot more fun that way~!"
"Hi, name's Wade Wilson, but I go by Deadpool and if I tell you my story, you'd be completely overwhelmed! …I'm not even kidding, Marvel Comics are wacky, dude!"
"Yeah! Ibuki tried to understand this whole "cinematic universe" Wade-chan was telling her about, and it totally flew over her head!"
But you watched the movies with me… Chiaki thought.
"Aheheheh… noted…" Myra sweatdropped. I have no idea what the hell you're talking about…
Nyx giggled. "Don't worry, they mean well."
"Anyway-" Chiaki spoke up. "My story is-"
One story (and Ibuki's story) later…
"Goodness…" Myra said as she looked at Hajime. "You… Ultimates are something else."
Hajime chuckled. "Eh, what can ya do." He shrugged.
"By the way, Chiaki-chan! That photo doesn't do that tattoo justice. Can we see it?"
"Oh! Yeah!" Chiaki nodded, pulling over her shirt so everyone can see it.
"Wow! You're right, it doesn't do it justice." Nyx said, studying it.
"I'll be honest, I forgot what it looked like up close." Hajime admitted.
"Yeah, looked at it myself in the mirror and admittedly, I'm loving it more and more." Chiaki said.
Myra, meanwhile, stared at the tattoo and had a weirded out expression. What kind of food do you give these butterflies in this era? That thing's huge! She thought as Chiaki pulled her shirt down.
"That was definitely an accurate as hell G-Max Butterfree." Umber said in approval.
"Also, I'm actually surprised El Cinco's here." Chiaki said.
"Ah, solo estoy escuchando y dejando que Myra se divierta." (Ah, I'm just listening and letting Myra enjoy herself.) He said. "Por cierto, El Cinco es sólo un título. En realidad mi nombre es Héctor Bernal." (By the way, El Cinco is just a title. My real name is Hector Bernal.)
"Oh! My bad…" Chiaki chuckled.
"So, Myra, have you been enjoying the new era here?" Nyx asked.
"Well, I was… until Jade yelled at me, but for the most part… I'm content." Myra said.
"Hmm, do you go anywhere where you can be alone and train with your magic?" She asked.
"Well, there was this one spot that I actually adored. It's this canyon that has a lot of gold in it that actually has these properties that can enhance some of my magic. It's near this snowy mountain that's quite tranquil-"
"Oh, I know what you're talking about. Wario's Gold Mine!"
"Yeah, Wario's Gold Mi-... HUH?!"
"Yeeeeah, several years ago, this canyon was turned into a gold mine and it has an automated system where they extract gold every day. Apparently, the gold regenerates all the time so it never truly disappears."
"...I need to voice a complaint. Who should I voice it too?"
Nyx chuckled. "I know a guy."
BGM: Stonecarving City (Wario Land: Shake It!)
Out at Diamond City, Wario was humming to himself. "Hmhmhmhm-"
SLAM!
"HEY WARIO!" Nyx called out.
"Ooooh… mama mia!" Wario groaned as he went out to meet them. "What do you want now, Nyx? And why did you bring a whole army with-"
"So you're the guy who ruined my favorite canyon!"
Wario blinked, looking at Myra and then turned to the others. "Who's the goth? …And who the heck is the skeletal Wiggler?"
"Myra Shadowheart!" Myra declared.
"Never heard of you."
"Hector Bernal. Hola."
"I don't speak Greek." Wario mumbled.
"Griego?" (Greek?) El Cinco wondered in confusion.
"Yeah, Wario… this girl's upset." Nyx said and quickly gave him the rundown of her.
"Huh… well, welcome to our er-"
"So, your name's Mario too, huh?"
"WAA?! No, I'm WA-rio! Mario is my cousin!"
Myra blinked with a confused expression as a question mark appeared above her forehead. "Huh?"
"Yeah, all you need to know is Mister Greedy Pants here is hard to kill and completely stupid."
Wario growled. "Why I oughta…"
"Black Jewel." Everyone but Myra and Hector said in unison.
Wario sweatdropped. "Okay, you got me there."
"Black Jewel… okay, I'm officially lost."
"Basically, this moron dug up an ancient demon in the shape of a jewel that cursed his entire castle and all of his treasure into being an army of horrific monsters." Nyx explained.
"...You… had a castle? You… don't look like royalty."
"HAVE a castle! I'm just filthy rich!" Wario corrected.
"From that goldmine, huh?"
"Wahahaha! Not just that, but also my business here, and treasure hunting! I even built a dam at that snowy mountain near the gold mine and declared it Wario Summit! I'm environmentally friendly!"
"...You turned… oh darkness…" Myra groaned. "Well, the good news is, you don't do anything malicious… at least I hope you don't. But still…"
She latched her hands on Wario's shoulders and started shaking him rapidly. "Wah?!"
"WHY WOULD YOU RUIN MY MAGICAL TRAINING SPOT FOR FINANCIAL GAIN, NOT TO MENTION PLACING A DAM OF ALL THINGS ON THAT SNOW MOUNTAIN?! IS NOTHING SACRED TO YOU?!"
"Waaaaaaaaaah! Nyyyyyx, why must you torture me with your frieeeeeeends!"
"Hey, I just brought her here!" Nyx defended.
"Obviouslyyyyy!"
"So, on a scale of one to ten, how would you rate your experience on me shaking you?" Umber asked, writing it down on a notepad.
"Probably nothing like what Myra's doing, so… six out of ten." Chiaki said.
"Ouch… I need to get better on my shaking then…" Umber mumbled.
"By the way, where's your bro? Haven't seen him in a while." Nyx said.
"Last I checked, he was at the goldmiiiiiine!"
"Wait, you have a brother?" Myra asked as she stopped shaking Wario.
"Oooogh…"
"Technically, not by blood." Nyx said. "Apparently, from what I know, Wario needed a companion for a doubles Tennis tournament and he just happened to find Waluigi out on the streets."
"Aaaand he just so happens to have an Italian accent too." Ibuki added.
"I think he's a plumber as well… I could be remembering that part wrong though." Chiaki said.
"Who cares if he's not by blood! He's my partner in crime!" Wario said. "He's my brother from another moth-"
"So you are malicious! You maliciously ruined my favorite spot!" Myra exclaimed, shaking Wario again.
"Aaaaah! That was a figure of speeeeeeech!" Wario cried.
"You done yet?" Nyx asked.
Myra stopped shaking Wario, as his eyes were rolling around. "Yeah… I feel a lot better." She chuckled. "Maybe tomorrow, I can show you guys where my favorite spot is at."
"I can give you a tour…" Wario said.
"Sounds good… but if my favorite spot is tainted by your grubby greedy hands… IT'S ROUND THREE!"
Wario let out a whimper. "Noted!"
Myra turned around. "Let's head back." She said as they walked off.
"Sheesh… what'd I ever do to her?" Wario mumbled.
"Wario!" Waluigi walked in. "What are you doin' sitting on the ground?"
"Nyx happened. She brought a friend who wanted to file a complaint."
"Ah, I see… but I found something at the gold mine that will make you happy!"
"What is it?" Wario asked.
Waluigi pulled out the Gold Crystal Star. "Ta-daaaaaah!"
Wario gasped, his eyes sparkling…
Ka-ching!
…Before Dollar Signs appeared over his face. "WE'RE RIIIIIICH!"
"WAHAHAHAHAHA!" Waluigi laughed.
"WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Wario joined in.
"By the way, since Nyx gets a cut of WarioWare's shares… have you told her that she technically is a part of the company and should be contributing?"
"Wah!" Wario yelped in surprise. "I keep forgetting to tell her!" He said. "...Eh, maybe next time when we see her though."
"Good enough!"
"Now where were we?"
Both of them grinned, raising the Gold Star up high.
"WE'RE RICH! WE'RE RICH! WE'RE RICH!"
End BGM
Back at Toad Town…
"You know something…" Myra said, "I'm a bit curious about your magic, Umber."
"Oh?"
"Yeah, you told me you got some magic under your belt. I wonder if I can surpass it."
"Oh, you think so?" Umber asked. "Okay, Mushroom Hills! We'll see who comes out on top here!"
Magic swirled around Myra's wrist. "You got it!"
"Guess we're watching a fight tonight." Nyx chuckled.
"Oh, since he's probably going to use his Keyblade, we should tell Sora about this. He might wanna watch!" Chiaki said.
"Ibuki's on it~!" Ibuki saluted and took off running, then Umber and Myra took off to Mushroom Hills, both of them eager to see who will come out on top.
Thought this would be a good stopping point.
Ibuki: We met a new friend, yay~!
Deadpool: Heck yeah!
Also, a shout out to Flash who came up with "Shouldn't Nyx be technically a member of WarioWare since she's taking a part of the cut?" right on the spot!
