Chapter 4

Gruntilda sipped a cup of dirty toilet water, it was the drink that night, it had even been spiked. Her pinkie stuck out to make her look fancy, she was slurping and grunting and moaning obnoxiously as she drank. The water had her stinky socks in the bowl for flavor.

She saw Clungo walk over to her hesitantly fear on his face, "m-MiSsSSsTrEsSsS…. ThE HOrNeD KiNg IssSsSssSSS dEad….. PlEAse DoN'T bEaT ClUnGo!"

"WHAT?!" Gruntilda's eyes widened and bulged from, her boney sockets as she screamed aloud. Clungo cowered at this, his hands over his face shielding him from attack. "Eh, oh well." She said with a shrug, "As long as that bear and bird are gone, and their antics are no longer a song, I'll reign supreme, my victory clear, for their absence brings me joy and cheer.! GRAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Ah can destroy em for ya Grunty baby!" The boogeyman offered as he did some disco moves to unfitting music.

Gruntilda smiled, "that's a great idea booger!"

"It's boogeyman not booger", he said glaring at her, annoyed.

"Whatever, go ahead and destroy them for me booger." She then handed him a cup of toilet water.

He sighed and rolled his eyes at this and handed the cup to Clungo and moonwalked off, his army of back up dancers moonwalking not far behind him passing a sobbing Medusa.

"This pointless Wumba be mummy forever at this rate!"

"Mumbo hope that Wumba is mummy forever, this all your fault, '' he shouted pointing at her and at the rest of them."

"GUYS shut up!" Everyone turned to Banjo surprised at his outburst but he didn't care, "we need to stop arguing and figure out how to fix this! We only have until midnight! We have to leave the mad monster mansion and find a way to stop Gruntilda, we're not getting anywhere just sitting here!"

"No need to leave, we brought the party to you!" A deep voice said from behind them.

"Oh, no…. We all doomed…" Mumbo said in horror as he stared into the eyes of the boogeyman, behind him were twenty backup dancers.

Banjo quickly grabbed up Kazooie and took aim at the Boogieman, "back off! I've got a breegull and I'm not afraid to use her!"

The Boogeyman simply laughed at this, "you really don't know who I am, do you?" He took out a CD player and pressed a button, the Boogie Man song played and The Boogieman began dancing, Banjo watched him confused and looked down to Kazooie who looked back to him just as confused. "Now, ah'm gonna teach ya'll how ta really boogie!" He then started doing the Travolta march towards them, all his backup dancers doing the same. Banjo and Kazooie open fired on them all, but they all grooved out of the way of each attack.

"Woah!" Banjo yelled as he fell to the ground, Mumbo had grabbed him by the backpack and started dragging him across the ground. "What the heck Mumbo?!"

"Bear and bird need to run! Stand no chance against Boogieman, moves too groovy for bear and bird!" He dragged them into the church and Mumbo used his magic to barricade the door with the pews. He wiped his brow and sighed, "that close one…. We be safe for a while hopefully, Brentilda get here soon and help us-"

"Oh you're all just in time for the party, now that's just groovy", a deep voice that sent chills down Mumbos spine came from behind them, the sound reverberated across the whole church. They all turned around to find the Boogieman and his backup dancers standing behind the pulpit.

Mumbo screamed like a girl at this, Kazooie, in turn, slapped him as hard as she could across the face. "Move it skull face, we'd be done with this guy by now if not for you!"

Mumbo stared at her a moment before nodded, "ugly bird right. We must fight him."

"Wait what did you call me?!"

Suddenly the window to the left exploded as Waluigi leaped through it into the church right in front of them. "WEH! WALUIGI CHALLENGES THE BOOGEYMAN TO A DANCE FIGHT!"

The boogie man laughed at this, "alright ah accept, but ah warn you, AH DON'T FIGHT FAIR!" As if on cue all his backup dancer's moonwalked towards Waluigi faster than normally possibly ready to kill him.

"WEHEHEHEHE! NOBODY OUT DANCES WALUIGI!" He screamed as he quickly and expertly did the worm towards them.

"Now our chance, quick out the window and find Brentilda, follow Mumbo!" He said as he raced off.

"Finally a good plan!" Kazooie said to Mumbo as everyone followed him.

Waluigi was on fire as he did the robot, chopping down at least half the backup dancers. The boogie man did the Travolta, lasers came from his fingers at Waluigi, but Waluigi did the Russians are coming and avoided all the lasers, the lasers downed a few more backup dancers. Soon all the backup dancers were dead, and it was just Waluigi and the Boogieman left. Waluigi wasted no time in doing the giddy-down, "WEH!"

The boogeyman did the wax off, "ah admit you're a good dancer kid, but no one outdances the boogieman baby!" They then began dancing towards each other ready to end the vicious battle. Waluigi did the butt jump, but the boogie man countered with a mini Jackie chan. Waluigi then did a stinky leg roundhouse kick, the boogie man did the cat daddy as he ducked under it. Waluigi quickly did the groovy one-two, knocking him away from him.

The Boogieman's face grew red with rage at this, he shot Travolta lasers at Waluigi who easily dodged them with an Irish jig. Then they got on their heads and began head spinning, they clashed into each other like Beyblades. The power of their attacks were so great they shattered the other windows and shook the entire church. Tornadoes ripped through the church circling the two duelists, lightning struck the ground near them. The earth itself suddenly opened up and the two of them fell in only to be brought up again by a giant pillar from the depths of Hell. The pillar brought them thousands of feet into the air, yet neither faltered as they clashed and clashed again relentlessly. The two of them had reached an impasse. Waluigi is love, Waluigi is life, Waluigi cannot be beaten. Yet at the same time, no one can out boogie the Boogeyman, so they kept fighting each other trying in vain to out-dance the other, condemned to dance until the end of time, and beyond. And yes dear reader, they are still dancing to this very day….

Banjo and his crew ran out of the mad monster mansion zone, and as soon as they did Banjo was lifted off the ground, "the spells wearing off!" Banjo cried out.

"Dang it," Kazooie said, annoyed. Their bodies shifted and contorted until they exploded back into their cursed forms.

"Ugh I am so tired of being a skeleton!" Kazooie shouted angrily.

Hey be thankful you got to turn back at all, I've been a freaking banana for hours! Donkey Kong chastised.

"Get over it big mouth", Mumbo said coldly as he took his phone out and called Brentilda again, it rang for a bit leaving Mumbo tapping his foot in annoyance but finally it picked up. "Yes, this Mumbo, Brentilda you must stop partying now, we need you!"

"WAIT WHAT THE HECK DO YOU MEAN? SHE'S BEEN PARTYING WITH GRUNTILDA ALL THIS TIME?!" Kazooie yelled angrily.

"Shh, Mumbo on phone", he turned away and started walking away from the group so he could hear her better.

"I'll be there in a bit." And hung up. "Tada!~" Mumbo turned to look behind him to find Brentilda standing there. Everyone was coughing and hacking due to a cloud of pink smoke that had appeared with her teleportation. "Hello everyone, sorry I took so long but I was… oh, how do I put this?"

"Partying?!" Kazooie spat her accusation at her.

"At a meeting sounds a bit better I think." She replied with a smile. "Anyway, I'm here now and so I can finally help you all back to your normal forms, permanently~!"

"GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHAHAHAHAH!"

A chill went up everyone's spine as a look of surprise and horror came to her face, There before them were fifty-some gruntlings, and Gruntilda riding her broomstick. Brentilda raises her wand ready to fight them all.

"Mumbo, there is no running now we must-"

"You better turn tail and vanish from sight, or I'll transform you into a foul plight.." Gruntilda spat with a cruel grin.

Brentilda stared at her a moment then smiled and said aloud, "don't worry I'll be back to save you all!" And with that, she teleported away.

"OH COME ON!" Kazooie shouted in a rage at this.

"When danger strikes, she flees with haste, a coward's heart, a fearful taste. her steps are swift, a sudden flight, predictable as day to night.." Gruntilda said casually, "gruntlings, get em." She said, pointing a boney finger at the group. The gruntlings charged into battle taking them all with ease. "In shadowed halls, where echoes roam, lies a dungeon, a cold, dark home. Take the wicked, their deeds so dire, and cast them deep, where they'll expire! GRAHAHAHAHAHAAH!"

Mumbo looked through the peephole in his camo blanket at the scene, he gulped and looked at the time on his phone hoping the light of the screen didn't give him away. It was eleven o'clock. "Mumbo must be brave, and help his friends before they are ugly forever!" He waited for everyone to be gone and whipped his blanky wanky off and folded it up neatly and shoved it up his anus grunting and moaning in pleasure. Once all of it was up there he raced after them following them silently so as to not be noticed.

Mumbo followed them all to world one, they were put behind the door and it was sealed shut. The gruntlings walked back to the party, while two hipster death eaters guarded the door. Mumbo waved his wand speaking in his native tongue as he cast a spell that sent pink powder over to the death eaters. One of them yawned as he rubbed at his face mask.

"Dude like, I am so like, tired…"

The other death eater yawned as well, "well like, too bad, we like, have a job to do!" Despite this, they slowly drifted off to sleep. They wavered and tipped back and forth. Meanwhile Mumbo ran over and placed his wand on the wall behind them and moved in a circle and opened a portal to a different dimension. The two death eaters fell through the portal and it closed soon after. Mumbo knocked on the door.

"Who's there?"

"Mumbo! Mumbo is getting bear and bird out!"

"What about us?!"

"And everyone else too. Obviously."

A poof resounded next to Mumbo and he screamed like a girl, he turned to see Brentilda standing there.

"What's going on out there Mumbo?!"

"Brentilda scared Mumbo, Mumbo fine, just annoyed", he said glaring at Brentilda.

"Sorry for bailing before, but I'm here now."

"Help Mumbo break spell on door."

"GRAHAHAHAHAAHHAAA!" Brentilda and Mumbo both turned to find Gruntilda on her broomstick again, with her was Voldemort, his death eaters, and fifty or so gruntlings. "Why hello there, so nice of you both to drop by, and just give yourself to me, before you say goodbye" Gruntilda said with a wicked smile of satisfaction on her face.

Mumbo turned to Brentilda, "quickly, break spell fast, Mumbo hold off Grunty."

Gruntilda cackled at this, "bring it on Mumbo Dumbo!" Gruntilda turned to her minions, "all of you stay out of this, the shaman's mine." She wasted no time in initiating the duel as she sent out a vicious horde of bees from her wand which went straight for Mumbo. He quickly countered by summoning venus fly traps in front of him the bees were instantly attracted to them and were quickly eaten. Gruntilda cast a spell that made weeds which enveloped the traps and killed them. The weeds went straight for Mumbo trying to grab at his limbs. He quickly summoned weed killer sprayed them, killing the weeds.

Gruntilda shot a powerful attack spell at Mumbo, he hit the spell with his wand sending said spell right back at Gruntilda who smacked it back at him with her hand. Mumbo smacked it back to her and they went at it like this until Gruntilda missed the hit and the spell exploded on impact right in her face.

"GRAAAA!" She screamed as she fell off her broom to the ground below with a thud. Mumbo saw his chance and fired a few offensive spells at her with all his magic behind them hitting her in the face again. She fell to the ground and with another scream. She felt her face and found her entire skull was cracked, her left side was shattered leaving her eye fully exposed and floating there due to magic holding it in place. Gruntilda growled in rage, "No more games, no more fun the laughter's done, the sun's gone. It's time to focus, time to work!"

She pushed her sleeves up and grabbed up her wand and marched towards him, Mumbo stared in fear at this gulping but didn't have time to react as Gruntilda shot dozens of powerful spells at him right after the other. Mumbo stepped back as he deflected all of them clumsily. While he was distracted she turned into a giant fist and clobbered him right in the face, sending him into the wall-shaking the entire place.

"Brentilda hurry spell up Mumbo getting hiny handed to him!" Mumbo shouted in a raspy voice due to having been winded.

"I'm working as fast as I can Mumbo, but breaking the spell on this door isn't an easy task!"

"Mumbo not going to-" Mumbo was cut off as Grunty slammed down on him, she screamed shrilly, Mumbo had turned himself into a giant nail. Gruntilda became a hammer and slammed down, barely missing Mumbo as he hopped out of the way, he quickly turned into a bear trap and clamps down on her as she slammed into him and snapped her apart. She poofed into smoke and was herself again she raised her wand and Mumbo did too and they began shooting spells at each other like crazy as they ducked and dodged each other's spells and countering. They hopped to and fro and the spells missed them by inches sometimes until finally, a spell hit Mumbo square in the chest. He fell to the ground but quickly got up and aimed his wand but his wand hit the ground he looked down to the ground and to his arm, it crumbled into dust and ash. He fell to his knees as his legs crumbled and fell apart under him.

Gruntilda laughed in glee as she marched up to him and kicked him to the ground and he broke apart as his back hit the ground.

"Got it!" Brentilda shouted as she finally broke the spell and opened the door and everyone inside raced out, the spell on their costumes broke as well.

"Finally! I'm me again!" Kazooie said gleefully.

"Yay!" DK said and smacked the ground happily, shaking the place as he did.

"Mumbo!" Banjo yelled as he raced over to him alarmed, Mumbo's eye looked towards him, a sad defeated look on his face.

"Oh no, Mumbo dying," Wumba said sadly at this.

"Good eye, what gave it away?" Kazooie said sarcastically to her.

"Kazooie shut your mouth," Banjo said angrily.

"Sorry." She said apologetically to him.

"GRAHAHAAHAHAAA! A challenge he wasn't, now sister, you see,

It's time for you too, to join destiny!' She said menacingly glaring at Brentilda.

Humba growled in anger. Humba kill you!" She shouted, shooting a spell at her, Gruntilda cackled as she countered it back at her and turned her into a little hot wheels car.

"Childs play my sweet!" Gruntilda said confidently.

Banjo grabbed Kazooie angrily, "okay it's time to end this!"

The Gruntlings all charged him, Banjo and Kazooie fought well but were easily overtaken, they tried getting DK but he slammed his fists down smashing them. And tanking their attacks. Brentilda meanwhile turned Humba.

Humba have idea, she quickly turned Kazooie into a dragon. The death eaters shot avracadavra at DK but Brentilda put up magical force fields around him to protect him, and then Brentilda and Humba double-teamed Gruntilda, who proved more than a match for them both, even together against her.

Kazooie burned most of the Gruntlings alive, the rest ran in fear back towards the party. The Death Eaters tried helping Gruntilda but Donkey Kong was already over there slamming them and throwing them, and their spells did nothing because of the wards around him making them helpless. It was total chaos and war, explosions and screams of pain of people dying. Banjo had the hardest time but fought valiantly regardless. Gruntilda got onto her broom again and was firing spells from above, doing this however caught Kazooie's attention, she turned on her and shot fire at her, she almost got her too, however, Gruntilda's reaction time was impeccable and she managed to react just in time, quickly turning it to bats. As soon as Kazooie stopped for air, Gruntilda retreated.

"VOLDEMORT KILL THEM ALL!" She ordered.

"And what will you do?!" He spat back.

"I'M GOING TO START THE PROCESS OF GETTING MY BODY BACK FROM THAT LITTLE BRAT!" She shouted back, as she flew out of the room and back towards the party.

"We have to hurry, it's almost midnight!" Brenetilda shouted, wasting no time in firing spells at Voldemort who deflected them and began casting avracadavra at them she countered the spells, however, Donkey Kong quickly tried to sucker punch Voldemort , only to have Voldemort teleport away, he quickly rasied his wand, "avracadavra!" He shouted, shooting the spell at him, dk moved out of the way and Brentilda and wumba fired spells at him, he blocked them and countered.

Banjo and kazooie fired grenade eggs at the death eaters aggressively, some hit, some didn't. They hopped around dodging spells and curses as they fought.

"DK! Brentilda called out, "Take care of the death eaters!"

He nodded and raced towards one, a few spells hit him but he tanked them and started pummeling them with ease.

Humba and Brentilda and Kazooie took on Voldemort as he fired spells at them, Brentilda and humba were being pushed back, Kazooie and Banjo shot eggs of all sorts, but he managed to either teleport away or stop them, at one point he even sent them flying right back at the duo. Who swiftly dodged out of the way.

A death eater came flying at Voldemort who dodged it, he went and fired avracadavra at dk but Brentilda countered it.

"DK! You can't tank his spells! He's too powerful! You've got to dodge! She ordered him."

He nodded as Voldemort shot another spell, but this time she met his spell with her own and they were engaged in a struggle.

DK quickly ran up to Voldemort and punched him in the face and then pounded him into a bloody pulp.

Brentilda sighed, "that should be it..." the remaining death eaters quickly fled, one stayed behind.

"This is definitely not over, my master will be BACK! and you will be sorry you crossed him", he then teleported away.

"Did they leave the party, or go back to it?" Banjo asked?

"I don't know, however, it doesn't matter, we're trapped in here", Brentilda said pointing to the exit, a brick wall had been put up keeping them in.

"So what?" Banjo asked?

"We break it down!" Donkey Kong yelled and slammed himself into it, to no avail, he slammed his fists into it. Even Kazooie slammed into it trying to destroy it but had no such luck.

"So we lost?" Banjo asked in fear.

"It seems that way," Brentilda said sadly.

Suddenly there was moaning coming from Mumbo, they all went over to him, Mumbo, "are you trying to tell us something?"

He moaned and managed to weakly say words through his moaning. "W...wa….wand…."

Brentilda looked at his wand, "what about it?"

"M...much… power…. I….in I…...it….."

Brentilda stared at it and her eyes lit up knowingly, "you want us to take the power from the wand to help us."

"Mmmmhmmmmmmm… He confirmed weakly. Finally, having used the last of his remaining strength he turned completely to dust.

Banjo wiped a tear away, he'd known Mumbo for a long time and considered him a dear friend of his.

Kazooie even seemed a little sad, though she tried to hide it.

"Humba, I'll need your help extracting the magic from his wand."

"This very dangerous could kill us all if it goes wrong," she warned nervously.

She nodded, "I know, that's why I need your help," Humba nodded and walked over, "all of you stand back, and be quiet this will take time."

"We don't have time,'' Kazooie yelled angrily.

"Kazooie's right, we need to get out of here and-"

"We can't break that barrier on our own, maybe not at all, either way, we need this magic in order to be able to beat Gruntilda."

"How long is this gonna take, my bananas are in danger!"

"DK shut up no one cares about your stupid bananas!" Kazooie yelled at him

"Kazooie!" Banjo scolded her, to which she didn't care in the least.

"It'll take as long as it has to but we'll work fast," Humba we work now. Humba nodded and the two of them began working on the wand, they needed to take the magic imbued into the wand apart in order to release the magic inside. It was deactivating a bomb. After twenty minutes, they took it apart and got the magic inside, a lot of it was inside they each shared it as they absorbed it into their own wands.

"Impressive, no wonder he was able to hold his own against Gruntilda for so long." Brentilda said in amazement.

"Yes, he was a great shaman."

"Okay, that's great and all, can you get us out?" Kazooie asked impatiently.

"I don't know, let's see", Brentila said as she and Humba walked over to the wall and shot magic at it. At first nothing happened and they all thought it was going to fail but the wall started to shake, and rumble and before long it exploded revealing the exit.

"It worked!" Banjo cheered.

Donkey Kong punched his fists together, making a thundering sound, "let's party," he said with a cocky grin.

"I'm ready to burn some Gruntlings" Kazooie said.

"No can do bird," Magic wears off passed this door.

"Damn it." She said in annoyance.

"Kazooie! Watch your language!" Banjo scolded her to no avail, they all walked out ready to finish what Gruntilda started.
