"I wonder how they'll react..." Nezumi pondered, "Mario, Luigi or the beans?" Anomaly asked, "Yes." Nezumi replied, only getting a 'be serious' look from Anomaly, but then they entered the throne room, they didn't see Mario or Luigi anywhere, Nezumi got quite annoyed by this, "Where are those two!?" She exclaimed, "They went to the airport, Princess Peach has graced us with her presence!" Queen Bean replied, "I see, but why did they go to the airport? This seems like it should be a surprise." Anomaly pointed out.
Queen Bean looked to the side and replied "The airport isn't fit for landing at the moment.", Nezumi accepted the reason, but Anomaly was more confused, "Then... Why not fix it?" They asked, "...Is it really a priority with the Cackletta problem?" Queen Bean responded, "Fair enough, where is the airport?" Anomaly asked, and the queen replid "South from here." and the two headed off immediatly.
It took a while, but they eventually arrived at the airport, "Wait, you can't go on the airstrip, Mario and Luigi are currently dealing with a problem." One of the receptionists there informed, but Nezumi waved him off saying "Yeah, we know, we'll help them." And walked along with Anomaly to the airstrip.
The two started following the airstrip and when they saw Mario and Luigi, Nezumi saracstically said "So what's the-" she was saying, but got interrupted by a piranha plant that sprouted right below her, "problem..." She finished, seeing the issue at hand, "Now you two arrive! We've ben trying to get rid of these things for an hour!" Luigi complained, Mario nodded in agreement, but then raised one finger signaling Nezumi and Anomaly to wait, he then proceeded to hit the both of them with his hammer.
"That's for knocking us out." Mario explained, but it only got Nezumi to get pissed, "Do you want our help or not!?" She angrily said not noticing that her chest started glowing orange and emanated an immense heat, and turned back to normal almost immediatly, "What was that?" Luigi asked, but Nezumi misunderstood and replied "DO. YOU-" And Mario interrupted "We got that part, what happened to your chest!?" he clarified, but Nezumi didn't get what he was talking about, "Oh good, I wasn't hallucinating" Anomaly said, implying they saw it too.
Nezumi turned her head to her sibling with a questioning look, "What? What's wrong with my chest?" Nezumi asked as she looked at her chest, placing her hands on it too, "Did I gain a cup size or something?" she asked, causing the brothers to facepalm and Anomaly to pinch the root of her nose, they were going to correct her, but noticed she was right, "We are talking about- No wait, you actually did, two I think."
Anomaly got to eye level with Nezumi's chest to check for what could have caused that, but saw nothing, but when they place their ear on it, it fet as if she was listening to the air in a balloon, "You've inflated...?" Anomaly said, "Inflated? Like... With air?" Nezumi asked, "I think, I mean, what else could it be?" Anomaly replied, "If it's nothing serious we can deal with the plants." Mario suggested, "Right, are you unconfortable in any way?" Anomaly asked their sister, who placed her hands on differents parts of her body to be sure, "Nope, totally fine!" She said.
"Okay then, let us share what we found out: the plants grow back eachtime we defeat them and they seem to be allergic to water." Luigi informed, "Water?' Anomaly asked, "Yes, water" Mario confirmed, "Water... Plants... Filled with water... Electricity... Can you show me?" Anomaly finished blabbering and then asked them to demonstrate, and they did, they wet one of the piranha plants and it swelled with water, then Anomaly used her electric hand to shock it, and it vaporaized.
Passed a few seconds, the plant didn't grow back and they found their pesticide, "It works!" Mario explaimed as he and Luigi proceeded to pour water on the other plants, which Anomaly shocked, killing them, and when they did it to all the plants, the airstrip was cleaned, "Perfect! Now the plane can-" Luigi was saying, but the ground started shacking all of a sudden as a piranha plant bigger than the other came out.
"Is it always like this here?" Anomaly asked the brothers, "Most of the time" Mario replied, and Luigi was focused on Nezumi, "By the way, does she also glow like that normally?" He asked, turning Anomaly's attention back to Nezumi who was indeed glowing, "Nezumi, are you okay?" They asked, but Nezumi seemed to get angry with that as she went to uproot the piranha plant out of the ground.
The other three were shocked at the scene as the roots Nezumi was touching seemed to burn a little, they then burst into flames taking the plant with them, "How do you like that you overgrown weed!? Gonna grow back so I can do it again!? Please do! I think it hurt enough!" Nezumi was basically screaming, but Anomaly got in front of her and tried calming her down, "Nezumi! Stop! You'll hurt someone!" They tried to rationalize, but Nezumi seemed undeterred as she said "What's that to you! You..." seemed is right as she calmed down right there, but she looked quite drained, in fact, she fainted right after.
"Nezumi!" Anomaly exclaimed, "Is she okay!?"Mario asked, "I- I don't know! She never did this before!" Anomaly replied as they picked up Nezumi, "F-For now let's get her out of the landing strip" Luigi suggested, and so they brought her inside, where Prince Peasly was, "Hello there, I must ask you to go to the BeanBean Castle for a surprise." He said as he flew away on his pillow, "At least we can get Nezumi help there..." Anomaly thought as they started heading to BeanBean Castle.
BeanBean Castle.
Anomaly placed Nezumi on a bed, one of the guards called for a doctor and now they just had to wait, they might act antagonistic with eachother, kind of like how Paint was towards Shakara during the first year she was at the castle, but deep down, Nezumi and Anomaly really care for eachother, but while they are comfortable showing it when they're alone, they'd prefer death rather than be all lovey-dovey in public, however, Anomaly couldn't care less about that at the moment.
"Nezumi... Please be okay..."Anomaly whispered, trying not to let the tears out, that's when the doctor entered the room, and Anomaly rushed to him immediatly saying "Please, please, you have to help Nezumi!" they were basically begging at this point, the doctor went up to the unconscious Shujian and started doing a variety of tests on her, from checking the pressure to pupil dilation.
It took a whole 3 hours for that to be done, and Anomaly wasn't calming down in the slightest, in the meantime though, Mario and Luigi met up with Peach, who revealed that 'losing her voice' was a bluff to keep Bowser from kidnapping her, they then escorted her to Little Fungitown, defeating a living rock on the way. When they got there, Mario ate a mushroom that made him sick andLuigi went to an ancient ruin to get the cure, when he came back he encountered Bowletta, Bowser with the spirit of Cackletta in him, who kidnapped Peach and managed to escape, while Luigi brought the medicine to Mario.
When the doctor finished examining Nezumi, he informed Anomaly "She appears to have fainted due to exhaustion, just let her rest and she'll wake up in no time.", This brought relief upon the Singularity, who is still shaking might I add, "Thank God..." They whispered, "Call again if you need more help." the doctor said as he left.
The door closed and the noise it made seemed the wake up Nezumi, "Urgh..." The Shujian grunted, getting Anomaly's attention, they turned to her and exclaimed "Nezumi! You're awake!", Nezumi looked at them and said "Yeah, I still feel like a wreck though..." she then tried to get up, but Anomaly stopped her, "No! Don't get up yet! doctor's orders!" They said confusing their sister.
"Wha-" Nezumi was about to ask, but Anomaly gave her light chop on the head and hugged her tightly right after, "Dummy... Don't scare me like that again..." Anomaly told her, "Are you okay?" Nezumi asked, "Y-yes... Yes I- I am." Anomaly replied, but their voice was clearly quivering, "Are you?" Nezumi pressed further "...NO!" Anomaly exclaimed as they hugged Nezumi tighter and started crying, with the latter trying to comfort them.
Nezumi managed to calm Anomaly down, and the moment they stopped crying, they actully giggled a bit, "What's so funny?" Nezumi asked, "You've deflated." Anomaly replied, referencing that Nezumi was bloated before, but she just laughed and pushed Anomaly off while saying "Oh fuck off.", causing Anomaly to start laughing too, but they both stopped when the door started opening.
A guard came in and said "You are requested at the throne room.", and after making sure Nezumi could walk, they headed there.
