"Let's go." Anomaly said, "Wait, can't we just jump down? I'm sure that's fas-" Nezumi was about to say, but the floor suddenly fixed itself due to the power of plot convenience, "-ter... This is the proof this world hates us." Nezumi commented, "Hates you, you mean, it went against your idea." Anomaly correcter, "Don't sass me sis." Nezumi warned.
The two went through the door and... Went up a wall that no one they met so far could jump high enough to reach, "Why would they build something like this?" Nezumi asked, "I think it's something called 'gameplay design', whatever that is." Anomaly replied, "Gameplay design? Is the fact that we're going underground also gameplay design? Or is it just to annoy the hell out of us?" Nezumi questioned, "Whichever rolls your spirits sis." Anomaly answered.
When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they saw that they were indeed in a cave," What. The. F*ck?" Anomaly asked, "Now you know how I feel." Nezumi responded, "Why!? Shouldn't they, I don't know, put some walls here!?" Anomaly lamented at the structural design, "Shouldn't we have a better place to put my shells when they break?" Nezumi asked, "...That's a far point." Anomaly replied.
After a bit of walking and encountering bothersome enemies later, the two reached a door, locked by a circuit, "You can't be serious." Anomaly said, but Nezumi had another thing in mind, "Hell no, You can forget about this and shove it" Nezumi stated before going to the door and prying it open, "There, let's go." Nezumi told Anomaly, who complied with nothing to say.
Going inside, they climbed a wall and saw Bowser and Popple, "The Beanstar suddenly came falling down out of nowhere...It wasshocking, see? But having treasure fall out of the sky sure is lucky!Yeah! That's right! Verrry lucky! Only Popple the shadow thief couldget such results, see?" Popple complimented himself for noithing with Bowser saying "You're amazing boss!" but that's when Popple noticed Anomaly and... Nezumi.
"...Rookie." Popple said, "Yes boss?" Bowser asked, "Please tell me I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing." Popple requested, and then Bowser turned around and saw Nezumi aswell, "No matter how you ask boss, it is what you are seeing..." He replied, "I see..." Popple responded, "AAAAAHHHAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The both of them screamed causing the Bean Star to react badly as it did before with the peach bots, "The treasure! It's going to fly away!" Popple noted while calming down.
He then ran to the Bean Star and grabbed onto it but it still managed to lift off a little, but then Bowser, Anomaly and Nezumi joined, and despite looking like they were going to keep it down, the Bean Star flew out, bringing everyone with it, "It's definitive! This place hates us!" Nezumi exclaimed before falling off, followed soon after by Anomaly, then Popple fell off while Bowser managed to hang on for a bit more, "Oh! I remember! I remember! I... I am... I am... Bowser the King!" He exclaimed before falling off towards the border, all while the Bean Star broke into four pieces that scattered over the kingdom.
East BeanBean: Oho Oasis.
"WAAAAHHHHH-Omph..." Anomaly yelled as they landed on the beach, "...This place hates us... F*ck, I'm agreeing with Nezumi, speaking of which..." Anomaly thought as they got back up and looked around, "Where- Oh there she is..." They quickly stopped as they saw Nezumi hanging from a palm, "Thanks for noticing smart*ss, now get me down." Nezumi requested, and Anomaly complied by throwing the tree down.
When the tree fell, Nezumi landed right on her butt, "Nice landing." Anomaly commented, "Quiet." Nezumi responded, "Love you too, sis" Anomaly replied back, "Where are we anyways?" Nezumi asked, "Not sure, but there's a temple, no wait, two temples." Anomaly informed before the two realized, "Zettai we're coming!" They exclaimed going in one of the temples, hoping to find their cousin.
They went inside the first temple and saw a bunch of red bird looking creatures walking around, "...Birds..." Nezumi blurted out, "A lot of birds..." Anomaly added, "Wha- What do... Do we?" Nezumi tried formulating something, but fell short, "I- Let's just find Zettai and leave." Anomay said and Nezumi agreed no point against it.
They walked around the temple, took note of a gate blocking a path and followed another path beside that one, at the end of ti they saw that there was hole in the wall, big enough for Nezumi to pass through, but not Anomaly, "Are you sure Zettai went through here? She's bigger than both of us in every way" Nezumi reminded, but Anomaly stuck to it "I'm sure, her bone are actually really flexible." Anomaly infromed, convincing Nezumi to go through.
She started going through the hole, but told Anomaly "While I go through here, you check the other temple ok-ah", She suddendly stopped talking and Anomaly noticed how she stopped crawling, leaving her body from the waist down halfway through, "...Nezumi?" Anomaly asked with a bit of concern, "My, uh... Lower body is... Too big. To pass through..." Nezumi informed, "...Your butt is too big.." Anomaly summarized, "Don't say it like that and help me." Nezumi scolded.
"Okay, well... I have an idea, but I don't think you'll like it" Anomaly warned, "As long as you get me out" Nezumi agreed, but did not expect Anomaly to smack her, and while it did work, she was incredibly unpleased, "Aahh... A-Anoma-a-ly" Nezumi said through whimpers, "Yes?" Anomaly replied, "When I get out. I'll spank you so hard that dad's slaps when you tried tearing a hole in space look like a flick on the forehead." Nezumi informed, "That's kinky." Anomaly giggled, "NO! SHUT UP!" Nezumi yelled.
Anomaly just laughed and headed to the other temple while Nezumi got back up, and still felt sore, but brushed it off and went in the next room, "Zettai! Are you here?" Nezumi exclaimed, but got no response, "Nothing... And that path... No it brings to the gate, damnit" She said before looking around and noticing a glass ball that had fire inside, there were stairs that lead to it, but a pillar blocked the access, "I'll just break this." And she did as such.
When the pieces of the pillar fell to the ground, fire started appearing around, which caught Nezumi offguard, causing her to get in a fighting stance, but lowered it when she saw a green guy, that didn't look like any of the other green guys she met appeared, "Welcome! Yes, welcome! Welcome to the Fire Palace! I have beenwaiting for you. I have waited for many long years, smolderinglike embers. For you I have kept waiting...and waiting...and WAITING! In fact, the last time anyone came through here was...3000 years ago! Oh, waiting just burns me UP! But enough aboutthat... So, why have you come?" He said confusing Nezumi.
"How... How should I know?" Nezumi asked, "Oh right, well, this place is... It's..." The guy tried to reply, but looked even more confused than Nezumi, "Wait, what is this place? What was it for? What's this thing behind me? Who am I?" He asked nobody in particular, only serving to make Nezumi look at him with a 'are you serious?' face, "Don't look at me like that! When you don't talk with someone for 3000 years things tend to be forgotten, anyways make youself at home!" The guy said before disappearing.
Nezumi shook her head to snap out of the stupidity she got entangled with and approached the glass ball and touched it, but let it go almost immediately because it burned her hand, but the moment she let go, it stopped burning and instead, Nezumi felt an energy in her hand.
The moment it happened, the guy appeared again "Oh! Wait! I just remembered! This is the famed Fire Palace, wherewe teach the ways of the blistering Hand Power!" He said, "And it looks like you are ready to learn, have you already done something like this before?" He asked, "I think I have some point of reference, is it like this?" Nezumi replied before making a fireball in her hand, "You've already mastered it! Incredible! There's nothing else I need to explain to you, you just need to find ways to use it! Well, I guess this is goodbye." The guy exclaimed.
Nezumi just stood there for a moment and thought "This is a poor excuse of a teacher..." And then she took the blocked path to see if she could find a way to open the gate, there she saw a pedestal in the wall, "Is this to practice?" She said to nobody before lighting the pedestal, causing the gate to open.
She went out of the temple and met up with Anomaly, but no Zettai in sight, "Same luck as me?" Nezumi asked, "Yup, got a little trick though." Anomaly replied before generating electricity in her hand, "Me too." Nezumi responded before generating fire in her hand, "Good to know, but I think we should go back to the castle." Anomaly said before leading the way.
