(Anti-)Heroes

By P.T. Piranha

Chapter 18: Parasite of Some Sort

In Vincent’s apartment, there is a portrait of an explosion. Likely the explosion. On it, is the chapter’s name. The camera pans past some portraits and a smoking mini Bill Blaster. It stops at some feet and a dead Goomba. Remember Dimentio and Vincent were fighting and Vincent accidentally killed Bob.

Vincent: Can’t you do something?!

Dimentio: One, I hated him. Two, no, he’s long gone. Maybe we could do something during that last chapter, but for some reason it just HAD to focus on some other characters!

Vincent: NOOOOOOOO-

Dimentio: No, you’re not doing that again!

Dimentio picks up Bob’s body and lies it down on Vincent’s bed.

Vincent: You do know I was aiming for you.

Dimentio: Yeah, I know.

Vincent: I mean, it is your fault.

Vincent quickly glides over to the mini Bill Blaster and Dimentio turns invisible. Dimentio manages to escape.

Vincent: Well, since he’s not here, NOOOOOO-

Dimentio (off-screen): Everyone in this building can hear that!

Vincent: … Ooooo…

Meanwhile, Yoshi follows a herd of Yoshi tourists up an escalator. They walk past a monkey and a Koopatrol.

Diddy Kong: Thank you! Enjoy your stay.

He notices Yoshi.

Diddy: Hey!

Yoshi: Uh, that okay! I with the group from… Yoshi’s Island DS World 3?

Diddy and the Koopatrol start menacingly approaching. Yoshi gets onto a down escalator.

Diddy: Get out.

Yoshi: … NO! I here to see Don Pianta!

Diddy: In that case-

Next, Yoshi is seen being kicked out of the Pianta Parlor. He gets up.

Yoshi: You can’t stop me! Booger men than you have tried!

Koopatrol: “Bigger”.

He slams the door.

Yoshi: Must find a way in!

Meanwhile in Dunder Mifflin, Gadd is okay, save for the fact he has a bandage where the mini Bill went. He’s talking to Mr. Game and Watch.

Gadd: I remember arriving at a house with my family, then nothing at all.

Mr. Game and Watch: Beep?

Gadd: Yes, I’m telling you that a Toad and a Koopa showed up along with a few crazy guys that ate our pudding and stuff, then the Toad and Koopa took us hostage, then my daughter and I got shot, then The Shadow took my daughter away, but I don’t remember. No impression at all. And I’m going to find my daughter.

Mr. Game and Watch: Honk!

Gadd: The Shadow went rogue and took some of my memory, same with Cackletta and Green Shy Guy? When can I go after him?

Mr. Game and Watch: Ring!

Gadd: I can’t? But she’s my daughter!

Mr. Game and Watch: Beep-beep!

Gadd: She’s just an assignment that I didn’t originally want?! Whatever! What should I do? … Let me guess, what I’m told.

Mr. Game and Watch leaves, passing a two-way mirror. On the other side, Ms. Mowz is standing behind Toad, strapped to a chair. Mr. Game and Watch comes in.

Mr. Game and Watch: Beep?

Toad: He’s not lying, he doesn’t remember.

Ms. Mowz: Now you owe me $5! You’d think that’d be a joke the author put in, but no. It was originally in the show.

Mr. Game and Watch: Beep!

Ms. Mowz: All right, I’m coming.

They head out.

Toad: Wait! I did what you wanted! Now let me go! … That stare is telling me that I should be patient… Fine. Can you bring me back some ice cream?

Ms. Mowz: No.

Meanwhile, Mimi is driven in a car by Bogmire (wearing one of those cheap glasses-eyebrow-mustache-nose things). The car stops at a roadside truck stop.

Bogmire: You haven’t said anything.

Mimi: No, you just weren’t listening. Where are we going?

Bogmire: I don’t know yet. But you can never go back to your family. Ever. If that company finds you, they’ll do things that not even you can recover from!

Mimi: You mean watching that hour-long Spongebob TV movie musical?

Bogmire: No, that’s just all-out brutal, it won’t be that bad. And we’ll be leaving the planet tonight.

Meanwhile, Bleck is behind his desk, and Nastasia enters.

Nastasia: Soon-to-be-Count Bleck? The FBI would like to see you.

Two agents enter the office. One is a giant plant with petals around his head (Petey). Another is a fat, yellow guy (Wario). The former closes the blinds as Nastasia leaves.

Wario: Mr. Bleck- Is Bleck your last name?

Bleck: Quite frankly, I have no idea. Continue.

Wario: Mr. Bleck, Don Pianta requested to meet you at the Pianta Parlor tonight, his main one in Gritzy Desert. This may be our chance to get him!

Petey: We need you to record your conversation.

Bleck: I’m pretty sure he’d expect that.

Petey: … I told you that wouldn’t work! Why don’t you listen to me?!

Wario: What? It’s the only way!

Petey: Okay then. Anyway, we’ll contact you when you get to Gritzy Desert.

Bleck: Okay.

Wario: And pick me up something deep-fried and smothered with chocolate!

Bleck: That’s the last thing you need!

Wario and Petey leave (with Wario pouting). Bleck turns his spinning chair to find Dimentio behind him.

Bleck: Where’d you come from?

Dimentio: Well when a mommy and daddy love each other very much-

Bleck: NOT THAT WAY!

Dimentio: Oh. In that case, it’s not important now! How long were you with the Ffffbye?

Bleck: It’s pronounced “F-B-I”. To answer, it’s been since the car accident that got Tippi stuck with using a wheelchair.

Dimentio: I thought it was one of O’Chunks’s native traditions.

Bleck: I know, I just needed an excuse.

Dimentio: And I thought I could save the world, but I ended up killing-

Bleck: Is that vim on your face yours?

Dimentio: No, Vincent accidentally ended Bob’s game.

Bleck: Did you call the police?

Dimentio: No, it happened too fast. Plus I never really liked Bob.

Bleck: Well I’m making an anonymous phone call to the police to tell them what Vincent did.

Dimentio: I don’t know, he was aiming for me…

Bleck: Work with me, here!

Dimentio: I don’t want to be a politician!

Bleck: That’s not what I meant! Anyway, Kooper has been looking for a cure!

Dimentio: Isn’t it late for that?

Nastasia comes in.

Nastasia: Your plane to Gritzy Desert is here, sir.

Bleck: Okay.

He turns back to find Dimentio gone. Meanwhile, Gadd enters a hotel room to find Cackletta.

Cackletta: Hi honey. I’m going to the gym. Green Shy Guy is watching cartoons in the other room. Too bad Mimi is at some school thing and has to miss this vacation. Why are we here?

Gadd: Uh, flooding?

Cackletta: Okay.

Gadd goes over to the nightstand to see a picture of himself and Mimi. Cackletta’s phone starts ringing. The tone is a mixture of her theme and the Pirates of the Caribbean theme (the latter because that’s Captain Gills’ favorite movie, and she loves Captain Gills).

Cackletta: Oh, that stupid kennel again. I told them to give me updates on Captain Gills.

Gadd: I thought goldfish were allowed in hotels.

Cackletta: Apparently not.

Gadd: I’m gonna go on a brief business trip.

Cackletta presses a button and the wall turns and a mariachi band appears and starts playing (to drown out what they’re talking about). As you’ll notice, P.T. and Kool-Aid Man are making their first appearance in this chapter, disguised as Mariachis.

Cackletta: (whispering) Please don’t go!

Gadd: Why are you whispering?

Cackletta: Because you told me to! You told me to pretend a shadow ghost took my memory! You told me about your company, what you do, where Waldo is, everything!

Gadd: Where’s Mimi, and why can’t I remember?

Cackletta: You said you were protecting her and that if you try to get her, to give you this.

Gadd takes a piece of paper from her.

Gadd: “Butter, milk, eggs.”

Cackletta: Other side.

Gadd: “Mimi is with friends, don’t try to go after her.” Why’d I write this?!

Someone knocks on the door.

Gadd: No one must know!

Cackletta pushes a button and the Mariachi Band goes back into the wall.

Mariachis: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Gadd opens the door. It’s Ms. Mowz!

Ms. Mowz: Was there just a Mariachi Band playing? Oh well. Your friend the painter just shot his buddy by accident.

Gadd: But I wanna be with my family.

Ms. Mowz stares harshly at him.

Ms. Mowz: I did not ask if you wanted to do this.

Gadd: … Right, I guess I’ll see him.

Gadd and Ms. Mowz leave with Gadd suddenly holding a bag from out of nowhere. Meanwhile, “Topmaniac” and Kooper are in Kooper’s apartment. “Topmaniac” is studying a list. Remember, “Topmaniac” is just King Boo under a cardboard box decorated to look like Topmaniac. Fun fact: He used slices of cheese to look like the spikes.

“Topmaniac”: So this is all of them?

Kooper: Yes. But most of them are missing or dead now.

“Topmaniac”: But you can add more?

Kooper: Hopefully.

“Topmaniac”: Did mine help?

Kooper: No.

“Topmaniac”: Then why not rest? I’ll do the phone calls and you can make yourself some coffee!

Kooper: Hmm… I have been in the mood for Hoolumbian-

“Topmaniac”: I just lost some respect for you.

Kooper: Ignoring that.

Kooper goes to make his coffee, and “Topmaniac” takes a sticky note.

“Topmaniac”: Hmm… Says here this guy named Vincent Van Gore lives here in Mushroom City. I’m going to call him now.

Kooper: Thanks. Ooh! Don’t forget to tell me next time you’re about to blow your nose!

“Topmaniac”: … Shut up.

“Topmaniac” tries but hangs up.

“Topmanaic”: Dang, he was busy.

Kooper: Here, I got us a special brew from Koopa Village.

“Topmaniac”: If it’s Koopa Tea, just say it. Now who do we go after?

Kooper: Nothing, I’ve already found King Boo. AND IT’S YOU!

Kooper points to the corner at Kool-Aid Man.

Kool-Aid Man: Oh no!

Kooper: No, I meant YOU!

He points at “Topmaniac”.

Kooper: I’ve found you, King Boo!

Kool-Aid Man: Oh Yeah!

“Topmaniac”/King Boo faints.

Kooper: Koopa Tea does it every time.

Meanwhile, Yoshi is looking sad while he sits outside the Pianta Parlor. Then a limo comes up and Bleck gets out.

Bleck: Yoshi?

Yoshi: Meestah Bleck? Happies! FLYING MA-

Bleck: No! Just follow me inside!

Inside…

Bleck: That was fast. So you’re trying to get that egg? And where’s your friend?

Yoshi: I make Kamek to island. Mission dangerous! I need your help! I need to get past the secretary guy!

Bleck: … “Security guy”? Fine.

They go up an escalator to find Diddy again.

Bleck: I’m here to see Don Pianta. And this guy’s with me, making a delivery for him.

Diddy: But he’s already-

Bleck stares at him harshly.

Diddy: … Okay, he can take it to the curator.

Bleck: There, is that okay, Yoshi?

Yoshi: Yoshi!

Meanwhile in an airport, Mimi and Bogmire are walking and she looks at her passport.

Mimi: I’m “Eve”?! And I’m from Twilight Town?!

Bogmire: As long as you’re safe!

Mimi: But once I get on that plane, I’ll lose my identity!

Bogmire: Good, there’s nothing left for you here. Wait, why are we at an airport if you’re going to another galaxy?

Mimi: It’s some new high-tech plane.

Bogmire: Oh. And no, you can’t see Dimentio.

Mimi: But he cares! Why can’t I hide with him?

Bogmire: Because!

Soon, they go through the security checkpoint. Bogmire tries to find his ticket but can’t so he’s left behind. This would be because Mimi swiped his. She then dumps them in the trash. Meanwhile, Vincent is sucking his thumb in the fetal position in his apartment. There’s a knock on his door.

Voice: Mr. Van Gore, this is the Mushroom City Police Department!

Vincent gets up to find lots of Pianta cops outside his door, led by Donkey Kong.

Chief Donkey Kong: Do you know of “Bob the random Goomba nobody knows”?

Vincent: We used to be best friends…

DK: We heard he may have been hurt, so we need to look around.

Vincent: Well-

Bob walks up to him.

Bob: What’s going on?

Vincent suddenly drops a coffee mug as if he was holding one and dropped it because of Bob’s revival. DK drops his coffee mug. The police drop their coffee mugs. P.T. and Kool-Aid Man in the corner drop their coffee mugs. Cut to the outside of the apartment, where you can hear everyone inside dropping coffee mugs.

Vincent: Uh, these guys are salesmen! ISN’T THAT RIGHT?!

DK: Uhhhh, yeah! We’re salesmen! We’re selling… Daisy!

Daisy: I’m not even in this story! Not yet anyways.

DK: In that case, we’re going to sell Bowser Jr!

Bowser Jr: I’m not in this story either!

DK: Crud!

The mob leaves.

Vincent: YOU’RE ALIVE!

Bob: Not exactly.

Bob disappears and reappears as a corpse on Vincent’s bed, and where Bob was is now Ms. Mowz. Gadd appears. Vincent drops his mug again. P.T. and Kool-Aid Man drop their mugs again.

Gadd: As far as you’re concerned, Bob’s taking a vacation to the Loopdeloop Galaxy.

Vincent: How do I pretend this didn’t happen?

Ms. Mowz: Think about that before you shoot next time!

Gadd and Ms. Mowz head out.

Vincent: Take me with you!

Gadd: No, just stick to painting!

The two leave. Meanwhile, Shroob and Elder are playing Super Smash Bros. Melee in Shroob’s room. The only reason it’s not Brawl is because the day this is posted, it’ll be the day before it’s out.

Shroob: How are you beating me?!

Elder: I have experience killing- I MEAN SINCE I’M HERE WHILE YOU’RE AT SCHOOL ALL DAY I JUST DO THIS! Yeah, let’s go with that.

(Author’s Note: I don’t know if killing people is how the character in Heroes got good at the game, I just threw that in for the lulz.)

Shroob: Okay, I’m going to school now.

Elder: One more round? I mean it’s not like you’re gonna learn something that you didn’t already know!

Shroob: I learn factoids!

Elder: All right then, have fun.

Shroob leaves and Elder looks in the mirror to find a black fox thing with white eyes.

Elder: Huh?

???: Sorry, I’m just a figment from that DS game, Drawn To Life. The author’s brother is obsessed with it. Now I’ll be leaving.

The fox thing leaves and Princess Shroob is now the reflection.

Elder: Did you know I do a better you than you? Minus the bigger head and details like that.

Tatanga bursts through the wall.

Tatanga: Oops.

He goes back and bursts through the door.

Tatanga: DID YOU THINK I WOULDN’T FIND OUT?!

Elder: All right, I’ll admit it! I didn’t care for The Godfather! I just don’t get movies like that!

Tatanga: No, I mean the guy in this picture! What are you doing with him?!

He means the picture of Bleck.

Elder: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, he’s a car salesman. Bye.

Elder pushes him out of the room, and Tatanga is suspicious. In the room Elder checks her purse for her mini Bill Blaster. Meanwhile, King Boo is strapped down to a chair with an IV running into his arm. His disguise is removed.

King Boo: … Oh, my head… What happened?

Kooper: I knocked you out with Koopa Tea after finding out that you’re King Boo.

King Boo: Uh, no I’m not!

Kooper: Your disguise is in that trashcan over there.

King Boo: … Uh, I ate a Boo Mushroom and was too embarrassed to show you my form?

Kooper pulls out an iPhone and goes to an Internet article about Topmaniac’s death.

Kooper: “Topmaniac. Game Over date in relation to today: 3 days ago.” Isn’t that when I met you? You stupid parasite! You killed my dad and fed off of his work!

Kooper goes to the ringtone section and selects one to start playing at a medium volume, and holds it up to King Boo’s ear that you can’t see.

King Boo: AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!! PAIN!

Kooper: Now tell me your name!

King Boo: King Boo.

Kooper: Wow, you didn’t put up as much of a fight as I thought.

Kooper turns his iPhone off.

Kooper: Now there’s only one way to remove a parasite.

King Boo: Let it off with a stern warning?

Kooper pulls out a mini Bill Blaster.

King Boo: A really stern warning?

Kooper: ERR! Wrong! You kill it before it kills again!

King Boo: But that’d make you a murderer too! And don’t you dare go on about being a scientist! Your daddy kept leading me around to these people even after he knew who I was! He confided in me! He gave up on you! I think YOU’RE THE PARASITE!

P.T.: I think there’s something parasitic about all of us… I’m going to leave now.

Kooper: Okay, so I won’t kill you…

Kooper pulls out a needle and heads behind King Boo.

Kooper: I’m going to take spinal fluid. And yes, it’ll hurt.

King Boo: If I’m good can I have a lollipop?

Kooper: … Eh, sure, why not? Now learn your head forward.

King Boo: Looks like either way, I’m getting shot.

The camera pans over to P.T., who does that drum thing when someone says something funny.

P.T.: Correction, now I leave.

King Boo screams in pain. Meanwhile, Yoshi gets off an elevator and walks through a room of Vincent’s work. Suddenly he hears something that sounds like a scream in the distance.

Yoshi: Huh? Probably nothing.

Curator: Is this one of Van Gore’s works?

Yoshi: Yes. It’s special.

Curator: Hmm… It’s been ripped… and fixed with staplers…

Yoshi (unfazed): Yes. It’s special.

Curator: What else?

Yoshi: … Receipt?

Curator: …

He takes both into the back room and Yoshi rushes over behind the desk and searches for “Egg, Shiyo”. A picture of it appears on the screen and the top drawer on a shelf automatically opens. Yoshi walks up to a blue Koopa.

Koopa: Hi!

Yoshi eats him and grows wings, and flies up to the shelf. This whole time, you can hear the Koopa screaming in fear, but it’s muffled.

Curator: Hello.

Yoshi, in shock, spits out the shell, which ricochets off a closed drawer and slides around the room. Yoshi is holding onto the opened drawer for dear life.

Curator: There are 823,907,501,635,802,137,590,374 members of the security team, and they’ll all be here if I press this button.

He presses the button and warning sirens go off. Then the doors close.

Yoshi: D’oh!

Yoshi drops down and lands on the shell. It takes him around the room.

Yoshi: Whee!

Curator: GET OVER HERE!

Yoshi hops off and walks over to him. The curator checks him for any stolen things, then the door opens.

Koopatrol: Security, sir.

Curator: Okay. This man was trying to steal from Don Pianta!

Suddenly, the Koopatrol shells into him, knocking him out. The Koopatrol takes his helmet off to reveal-

Yoshi: KAMEK?

Kamek: Yeah, I knew you’d do something to get yourself in trouble, so I followed you.

Yoshi: And who are those?

Kamek turns to find P.T. and Kool-Aid Man.

P.T.: We have a quota of random appearances in the story to turn in by the time the story is done.

Yoshi: But what about the other 823,907,501,635,802,137,590,371 guards?

Kamek: … Oh shoot!

Yoshi, Kamek, P.T., and Kool-Aid Man push the desk across the room to the door, blocking it.

Meanwhile, Bleck is talking to a pin in his cape.

Bleck: He’ll want me in an hour. I’ll be in my room.

In another room, Wario and Petey are listening to a radio.

Wario: Okay, we’ll wait.

Petey: Wario, my DS batteries died and I forgot the charger. What do we do for an hour?

Wario: I don’t know. When’s that pizza coming?

The door bursts open, with Elder holding a mini Bill Blaster.

Elder: Hello, Wario and Petey. The Don sends his regards. And don’t spy on a guy inside his own Pianta Parlor-Hotel! Now lower your weapons-

Petey: We’re not holding-

Elder throws a meteor at him.

Petey: Ow! Okay!

They put their imaginary weapons on the ground and get on their knees.

Elder: Now to kill you!

Petey: Shoot!

Elder: Okay!

Petey: Wait, that’s not what I mea-

Petey’s game is ended. Wario suddenly gets a heart attack.

Wario: Ha! You didn’t kill me in the end after all! Take that, evil-

He’s shot too.

Wario: Dang!

He dies. Meanwhile, Kooper is on his laptop, amazed.

Kooper: Wow! With these four genes I can make a new list, and find, then save these people!

King Boo: Hey! What about me? I want saving!

Kooper: You’ve got a lollipop. But not for long.

Kooper pulls out his mini Blaster, and winces after hearing a blast. But he looks to see the mini Bill is floating in midair. King Boo is focusing very hard on it.

King Boo: I’m sorry, did I imply that I was begging for my life? I was offering you a chance to keep yours.

The straps holding him down break, and he gets up.

King Boo: (demonic voice) NOW GIVE ME YOUR LIST.

He inches toward Kooper, who is shaking.

Meanwhile, Vincent goes into a trance, then stops and paints a picture that’s in all black and red. He sees it’s a series of portraits. The first is of him dead on the floor, how Yoshi found him in Chapter 2. The second is of his face making a scream, but still in the condition of the last one.

Vincent: 0_0

Meanwhile, Bleck is talking into his pin.

Bleck: Okay, now I’m in my room.

Princess Shroob leaps out from behind the bed and pushes him against the wall. She rips the right part of his cape off and removes the wire from it.

Bleck: Uhhhh, may I have that?

Princess Shroob: We only have so much time before Elder comes back! She’s a woman they sent to end your game!

Bleck: Oh no you dih-in’t!

Bleck smacks her with his staff and then pushes her onto the ground.

Princess Shroob: Elder and Don Pianta are after you!

Bleck: And I bet you know the FBI is here, too!

Princess Shroob: She killed them! And Don Pianta knows what you did!

Bleck: Are you killing me or warning me?

Meanwhile, Gadd enters his hotel room.

Cackletta: Honey, you were right! They do allow goldfish here, so I picked up Captain Gills and brought him back.

They hug.

Cackletta: Did you find Mimi?

Gadd: No, but I found a completely red version of her named Didi. Long story. But if I do know, they’ll get it out of me. So we have to pretend to not know for a while longer. I need to stop that company for good!

Cackletta: Okay, now!

Mr. Game and Watch bursts in with two thugs, Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha. Cackletta morphs into Ms. Mowz.

Gadd: Oh, not fair!

Meanwhile, Yoshi puts the shell back in his mouth and flutters up to the drawer and grabs the egg. He then gets back down and spits the shell out.

Yoshi: Yoshi!

Kamek: Can we go now?

Yoshi grabs Kamek’s shoulder and-

P.T.: Can Kool and I come?

Yoshi: No.

P.T.: Fine, you’re not in my Top 5 anymore!

Yoshi focuses with the egg in his hand, and the buddies warp to the roof of Bob’s dad’s building. They look to find all the places burnt and whatnot.

Yoshi: Waah! (I failed!)

Meanwhile, or more accurately “earlier”, Mimi is in an apartment building looking at a scrap of paper. She knocks and the door opens.

Mimi: Dimentio? Why do you suddenly look older, and like a woman?

Dimentio’s Mom: That’s because I’m his mom. He’s not here, but you can come inside.

Dimentio’s Mom turns and speaks to someone in some ghostly moaning. Then Bogmire appears, responding.

Bogmire: I can speak Mushroomese, ya know.

In the apartment…

Mimi: Who are you?

Dimentio’s Mom: I can be considered your grandma. Kind of. Your dad isn’t really my son, but he might as well be since he’s so close to my son. I’ve been trying to protect you, but you haven’t been making that easy!

Meanwhile, her dad is still talking to Princess Shroob.

Princess Shroob: Don Pianta is going to offer you a deal. You have to take it! Don’t follow the instincts you’ve gained after watching tons of people on Deal or No Deal reject deals!

Bleck: But-

Princess Shroob: It’s that or running!

Bleck: I can’t end his game?

Princess Shroob: Here, knock me out and you can have my mini Bill Blaster.

Bleck: Okay.

Bleck smacks her with his staff and takes her mini Bill Blaster. He then gets in an elevator with Diddy. Diddy presses a lower button.

Bleck: I wanna go up!

Diddy: Oh, Don Pianta is meeting you somewhere else.

Bleck is soon led into the kitchen by Diddy and some other Pianta mobsters. They approach an orange Pianta in a fedora and a suit who is chopping vegetables.

Bleck: Don Pianta?

He turns around.

Don Pianta: Finally! I’ve been mentioned in almost every chapter, and now I finally appear! Anyway, do you like vegetables?

Bleck: Yes.

Don Pianta: Good.

Everyone but them leave.

Don Pianta: I like to cook. Take notes, this will be on the test!

Bleck searches frantically.

Bleck: Dang it, I left my pen in the part of my cape that got ripped off.

Don Pianta puts a pot pie in the oven.

Cooking Mama: Vondairful! Bettair zan Mama!

Cooking Mama leaves.

Don Pianta: There are lots of ways to make people happy. Are you happy?

Bleck: Not entirely.

Don Pianta: Do you like a life with meaning or one with happiness?

Bleck: Both…

Don Pianta: Chunky? Or creamy?

Bleck: Creamy.

Don Pianta: Same. But you can’t have both, Bleck.

Bleck draws the mini Bill Blaster and aims it for the Don.

Don Pianta: Hmm? Well now, you’re not getting any potpie!

Bleck: I never liked potpie anyway! Oh well, if many have tried to end your game, let me be the last!

Don Pianta: Which would make you the 890,157,017,501,387,510,437,584,176th.

Bleck: … DANG! YOU’VE MADE A REPUTATION FOR YOURSELF, HAVEN’T YOU?!

Don Pianta: If you do that, you’ll die. But I can offer you something. I know things, Bleck. You being able to fly, your friend and his problem, and that daughter you thought to have died? And all the other people with super powers!

Don Pianta approaches him.

Don Pianta: You could win that election and become First Ever Mario Villain To Be A Count Instead Of A King Or Something…. That’s a real mouthful. And then through a series of fluke circumstances, you could rule the Mushroom Kingdom! So what are you going to do?

Bleck lowers his mini Bill Blaster.

Meanwhile Dimentio knocks on Kooper’s door. He finds it’s unlocked and walks in.

Dimentio: It’s me, Dimentio Nolastname! Where are you?

Dimentio looks and finds King Boo’s chair tipped over, then at his hand, which has vim on it now, by the way. Then a wallet lands on his head.

Dimentio: Huh?

He looks up to find Kooper pinned to the ceiling, vimming. Which is like bleeding, but with vim. He’s gasping.

Kooper: *gasp* King Boo! *gasp*

Dimentio turns to find King Boo.

King Boo: I remember you.

Dimentio: From what?

King Boo: … Chapter 9? That homecoming game?

Dimentio is still confused.

King Boo: I tried to kill that transforming spider thingy? I instead just killed some other girl? Oh well.

King Boo uses The Force to knock Dimentio into the wall and keep him there. He studies Dimentio’s face.

King Boo: Is that face paint or a mask?

Dimentio: Uh, face paint. Well technically it’s my skin, but it looks like face paint.

King Boo starts waving his “finger” around and cuts start appearing on Dimentio’s forehead.

Dimentio: Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow-
