Chapter 13: The Break
Purple Guy: You can see me?
Dimentio: … I’m not supposed to?
He grabs Dimentio by the neck part of his cloak and throws him at a pole.
Purple Guy: Of course you’re not supposed to! (kicking Dimentio) I’m freaking invisible!
Dimentio: Okay, stop kicking me!
Waluigi: … I’m not kicking you.
Dimentio: Oh. I mean that was a test.
Waluigi: Sure it was, liar. How can you see me?
Dimentio: Well I have these things called eyes-
Waluigi: I’M INVISIBLE!
Dimentio: Not inaudible, though! You want people to think they’re crazy, hearing some guy shout?
Waluigi: Just tell me how you see me.
Dimentio: I guess I can do the things you do.
Waluigi: A fanatic? Well if you want my autograph, my last name will cost you extra, as will any sayings. If you want a picture of me, then we’re going to start dipping into your wallet. Don’t even get me started on jokes!
Dimentio: … I think your Heroes character said “fantastic”, not “fanatic”. So who are you? Or did you already tell me? I forget those things.
Waluigi: I’m Waluigi Wario! Not nice to meet you! Have a rotten day! And forget you saw me!
Dimentio: Help me control my power or else Mushroom City will blow up.
Waluigi: Saving things isn’t my forte. Unless it’s the last slice of cake or pizza for Wario or else he’d kill me.
Waluigi leaves and Dimentio turns visible.
Goomba: 0_0
Meanwhile, Princess Shroob is in her padded room, and the chapter’s title appears on the wall. Meanwhile, Toad is reading his wife’s thoughts.
Toad: 2,385,262,083? That’s huge!
Toadette: Point! Okay, here’s another.
Toad: … No! You know I hate that store!
Meanwhile, King Boo is strapped down on a table with Polari watching him. Gadd comes in.
Polari: His vitals are irregular. And he hates fruit salad.
Gadd: Okay.
Polari: You know there is another way than whatever.
Gadd: Just keep him alive.
Meanwhile in a parking garage, Yoshi and Kamek are talking to an attendant.
Attendant: 49.50!
Kamek: WHAAAT?!
Attendant: You heard me! Now pay up if you want the car!
Kamek tries to find his wallet, as Yoshi focuses on the clock. His powers aren’t working.
Yoshi: Waaah!
Soon Kamek pays for it and they head to their car.
Yoshi: My powers not work! Need egg to focoose!
Kamek: “Focus”. Anyway without those, how are we getting an egg?
Yoshi: I don’t know! It destiny!
Kamek: And then what will you use it for?
Yoshi: Kill bomb pierce-un?
Kamek: “Person”. And are you sure? WOAH!
Yoshi and Kamek see a purple Yoshi leaning against their car, then he pulls a mini Bill Blaster on them. They run away, but get stopped by a black van.
Kamek: Help!
A pink Yoshi gets out, also wielding a mini Bill Blaster.
Yoshi: Cripes!
They keep running away. Meanwhile, Kooper stops typing on his laptop and opens his door, which was knocked on.
Kooper: Yes?
P.T. and Kool-Aid Man: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the-
He slams the door. Someone knocks and he reopens it to find Bleck.
Bleck: Hi, I’m the one you kept trying to talk to when my bodyguard threw you away. Bleck.
Kooper: Oh yeah, good times.
Bleck: Have you seen Dimentio?
Kooper: Not at all.
Bleck: What’s going on with him?
Kooper: Well I’ll be honest: he’s insane. Literally.
Bleck: I already knew that!
Kooper: Oh. Probably a super power. Kind of like yours.
Bleck: Let’s focus on Menti, here!
Kooper: Menti? Anyway, his power is to let him use powers of people he’s met. Like a sponge for super powers.
Bleck suddenly envisions his friend as Spongebob, but then decides he’s better off not imagining it.
Kooper: But it’s only dangerous if he has too many or absorbs one that isn’t yet controlled. I can fix him if I can find him.
Bleck: Well I guess I’ll have to go find him.
Kooper: Take me with you! I’m extremely bored, and fixing him might help all the other super-powered people!
Bleck: Ugh, fine.
Meanwhile on the rooftop of a skyscraper, Waluigi is feeding Pidgits and sees Dimentio.
Waluigi: Don’t follow me!
Dimentio: Do you live here?
Waluigi: Yes, and I also have a timeshare inside the garbage can across the street- OF COURSE I DON’T!
Dimentio: I used to take care of the guy who lived here. I forgot what his name was, but he was the father of that random Goomba that won’t leave me alone. Now help me control my power! Or else the whole city will be blown up by me exploding.
Waluigi: You’re gonna explode?
Dimentio: OH JUST FREAKING HELP ME LIKE A BOYSCOUT HELPING AN OLD LADY CROSS THE STREET!
Waluigi tries to leave, but Dimentio traps him in a box.
Dimentio: Help me or I’ll die! … Wow, that didn’t sound very convincing.
Waluigi somehow breaks free and shoves Dimentio up into a wall.
Waluigi: What, you just want me to kill you so you won’t explode?
Dimentio: No, I’m pretty sure I’m supposed to live.
Waluigi leaves and Dimentio walks up to the edge and sighs, and then starts dancing out of boredom. Meanwhile, Mimi watches Boshi looking through a computer at her house.
Mimi: Can you find out anything about my parents?
Boshi: Yeah, sure, whatever, just watch the door!
Mimi: It’s just us. Oh, and Captain Gills.
Boshi looks and sees Captain Gills in his fishbowl next to him.
Captain Gills: Wazzup?
Boshi: … Nothing’s here.
Mimi: I’m sick of him keeping everything a secret! There has to be something!
Captain Gills suddenly uses his fins to grab his bowl’s edge, and hops his bowl into another room.
Mimi: Oh no, shut it down!
Boshi does and they head into the kitchen, where Gadd is.
Gadd: Hello, Mimi. Hello, Boshi. Hello… Do I know you?
Kool-Aid Man: Oh yeah!
Gadd: I don’t believe you.
Kool-Aid Man leaves.
Gadd: … Anyway, I’m back because I forgot my cell phone. Hey, I can see my computer from here! Why is it on?
Boshi: We were, uh, looking for images!
Mimi: Of, uh, cupcakes!
Gadd: Okay. Boshi, I need to talk to Mimi in private.
Boshi leaves the room.
Gadd: Did you know people are saying I look just like that one pirate from that one Zelda game that takes place on the sea? Anyway, I think it’s kind of interesting you were paired with Boshi…
Mimi: Yeah, the teacher is trying to annoy me with the worst partners he can think of.
Gadd: My teacher did that once. You were friends with him once, so go try to survive this.
Mimi leaves and Gadd’s smile leaves his face. Oh wait, he wasn’t smiling. Mimi enters her room.
Boshi: Nice.
Mimi: I need to talk to that guy again, so I need to put this plate of nachos on the windowsill and open the window. He said to do that when I need to talk to him.
Boshi: Uh?
Meanwhile…
Toadette: So once you were abducted you got this ability?
Toad: Yes. And the FBI will think I’m crazy enough without telling them! … I gotta go get reviewed by them now. To be continued!
Toad leaves the room. Meanwhile, Yoshi and Kamek are hidden under a car.
Hobo: What are you in for?
Yoshi and Kamek: Shh!
Yoshi holds up the rolled-up painting with the egg hidden in it.
Yoshi: (whispering) They want painting?
Kamek: (whispering) I don’t know. And I’m sick of being chased!
Yoshi: (whispering) No whining! Wait, footsteps…
The person making footsteps enters the car and drives away.
Kamek: Wow, we just got away scot-free!
Hobo: There goes the roof over my head.
He walks off crying. Suddenly the van is coming after the two again.
Kamek: Never mind that last part.
They start running as the limo chases them down a ramp, but a door opens and a long tongue grabs Kamek.
Yoshi: Waah! (Kamek!)
Yoshi starts walking back.
Yoshi: He go I stay! Huh?
He’s grabbed too.
Yoshi: Waah!
They’re thrown into the van. Or limo, I don’t care. Meanwhile, Princess Shroob wakes up to find her straitjacket has been removed. She gets up to see a woman in a blue dress near her.
Woman: Hi, I’m Rosalina, the psychiatrist of this place.
Princess Shroob: What?! Put the straitjacket back on me and give me more power-downs, they’re keeping Elder weak! And that straitjacket was comfy.
Rosalina: I’ve read everything about you on your file, about your family and your lame jokes. And that time you participated in a drive-by with that ice cream cone. It appears to be multiple personality disorder.
Princess Shroob: I’m pretty sure it’s worse.
Rosalina: I can help you! But you need to participate! Help me to help you!
Dr. Phil: Help me to help you!
P.T. holding a mustache under his nose: Help me to help you!
Hank Hill: Help me to sell you propane and propane accessories.
Princess Shroob: Nah.
Rosalina then leaves with the straitjacket. Meanwhile, Tatanga is on the phone.
Tatanga: Yes, I can hear you now.
He hangs up and Shroob walks in.
Shroob: Where’s my lunchbox?
Tatanga: I don’t remember, but I did eat all the food out of it.
Shroob: … Well I had a spare in the car, where is the car?
Tatanga: In the shop…
Shroob: That’s okay, I don’t like your lunches. You eat half of it right after you make it.
Meanwhile Mimi is waiting at the water tower when Bogmire shows up.
Bogmire: Don’t call me up so often or else we’ll be caught! Now where are those nachos?
She hands him the plate of nachos and he starts eating.
Mimi: Who are my parents?
Bogmire: Well your mom died 14 years ago in an explosion in Petalburg. I don’t know anything about your dad… This cheese is different. Cheddar?
Mimi shrugs.
Bogmire: Now stop calling me and forget your parents. But feel free to mail me nachos whenever.
Later in the Gadd Family kitchen, Cackletta is feeding Captain Gills when Gadd comes in.
Cackletta: Awww, who’s a big fishy? Who’s a big fishy? You are! Yes you are!
Gadd: Honey, he’s not a guppy anymore. Where’s Mimi?
Cackletta: Library, studying about cupcakes. I swear, those teachers nowadays-
Gadd: I don’t want to hear your life story, dear!
Cackletta: Well whatever. Don’t worry about Mimi so much. Green Shy Guy has been so absentminded lately, though! Our neighbor thinks so too, tell him!
Jerry Seinfeld: And what is the deal with Green Shy Guy being so absentminded lately? It’s like someone just reached into his head and pulled everything out, am I right?
The Seinfeld closing theme plays.
Gadd: I didn’t know we lived next to Jerry Seinfeld!
Gadd’s phone rings and he answers it.
P.T.: Hello, is your… Your… His what?
Kool-Aid Man: Fridge.
P.T.: Oh! Is it running?
Gadd: My what?
P.T.: Your fridge?
Gadd: Goodbye.
He hangs up and answers to someone else. Soon he’s with Polari with an unmoving King Boo.
Polari: He’s dead.
Gadd: Ugh. Ship his body then.
Gadd leaves and Polari undoes the straps, and King Boo wakes up.
Polari: This is less than ideal.
Meanwhile at Diamond City Library, Mimi and Boshi are on a computer.
Boshi: Yep, fire in Petalburg 14 years ago. Merlee and her 18-month-old baby both died.
Mimi: I didn’t die! Unless I had a 1-Up… Oh wait, my power.
Boshi: Maybe she had siblings who can tell you who the father was!
Meanwhile Toad is at a desk with three police Piantas looking at folders on the other side.
Pianta Cop 1: You want this entered in the public record?
Pianta Cop 2: An old guy hiding a serial killer in a paper factory in Diamond City?
Pianta Cop 1: (Say yes and you’re done for.)
Toad: No? Uh, yeah! No! I made it up, that’s right!
Pianta Cop 3: You’re suspended! Six months! Turn in your things!
Toad does.
Pianta Cop 3: Now hand over your wallet.
Toad: What?
Pianta Cop 3: It’s a trophy.
Toad: Oh.
He does. He then comes home to find that the sink is leaking with no plumber in sight. Mario’s currently out of the story and Luigi is currently Mr. L! Looks like they’ll have to call Scapelli from the movie. Meanwhile, the van is still going down the road. The Yoshi’s Island buddies are next to each other, facing the pink Yoshi from before.
Yoshi: (whispering) Why he no talk?
Kamek: (whispering) Maybe he’s not the boss.
Yoshi: TELL BOSS I ON MISSIN’!
Kamek: “Mission.”
Pink Yoshi: I can’t let you do that, Star Fox! I mean, I know about your mission! You think you can make a difference? Well… Yoshi! Hah! Bahding-HAP! Wooow! (You’re wrong!)
Yoshi: Who you?
PY: My boss wants you to stop! And quite frankly, I’d like your watch.
Yoshi hands him his watch.
PY: Ha! I didn’t want your watch! I have now tricked you out of your watch!
Yoshi: Owowowowow!
The Yoshi pulls out two tickets.
PY: These are first-class tickets to Yoshi’s Island.
Yoshi: No bribes!
PY: Ooh, the boss won’t be happy.
Meanwhile, Dimentio is packing things, including a picture of himself and Bleck, into a bag. He turns around to find Bleck and Kooper.
Dimentio: How’d you get in with the door locked?
Bleck: There was a hole in the wall from O’Chunks’s birthday party.
Dimentio: Oh yeah. Good times.
Bleck: Where are you going?
Dimentio: I’m gonna go clear my head. Plus I heard Isle Delfino is lovely this time of year.
Bleck: Menti, we’re here to help you. Help us to help you!
Dr. Phil: Help me to help you!
P.T. with the same comb: Help me to help you!
Hank Hill: Help me to sell you propane and propane accessories.
Dimentio: What?
Bleck: Oh, they were bored so they followed us.
Kooper: And I’m making up for mistakes. Let me run some tests!
Dimentio: I don’t have time!
Bleck: And we’re not letting you leave!
Dimentio gives him a dollar.
Bleck: Now I don’t care as much!
Kooper: BLECK!
Bleck: Sorry.
Dimentio: Fine!
Bleck: Good. You know life would just be easier for you if you’d just-
Dimentio then pushes Bleck into Dr. Phil, P.T., and Hank Hill, then runs to the hole in the wall and jumps out. Bleck and Kooper follow.
Bleck: Where’d he go?
O’Chunks: Who?
Bleck: …
Bleck looks to see an open window.
Kooper: Did he just do what I think you and I both think he just did?
Bleck: Maybe. O’CHUNKS! Make sure he doesn’t leave via airport!
O’Chunks: All right. CHUNKS AWAY!
O’Chunks runs and bursts through the wall… and falls 21 stories.
Bleck: …
O’Chunks (off screen): I’m okay!
Bleck: Come on! Down the stairs!
Bleck, Kooper, Dr. Phil, P.T., and Hank go downstairs and Bleck looks back to Dimentio’s apartment, then continues downstairs. Waluigi and Dimentio suddenly appear, with Waluigi holding Dimentio up against a wall. Later, Waluigi is looking through Dimentio’s fridge.
Waluigi: A family like that and being friends to an ex-count, and this is the best apartment you can buy?!
Dimentio: I left the business to become a doctor.
Waluigi: Whatever. So you’re really sure about this end of the world thing, huh?
Dimentio: I just need to know how to control my powers.
Waluigi: It’d just be easier to die. But whatever Now let’s go hijack a cab!
Dimentio: Okay!
Meanwhile, Toad has fixed the sink.
Toad: There. Oh, and I’m suspended.
Toadette: From work?
Toad: No, from the Extreme Underwater Tennis Team- OF COURSE FROM WORK!
Toadette: Read my mind.
Toad: Okay… OH MY DAD!
Toad faints. His wife is having a baby. But I’m pretty sure it’s a happy faint. I think. Meanwhile, Tatanga phases through the padded wall and is with Princess Shroob.
Tatanga: Hi honey!
Princess Shroob: Hi, how’s Shroob?
Tatanga: OH! ALWAYS ABOUT SHROOB, ISN’T IT?! He’s okay though.
Princess Shroob: Whatever you’ll say, I have to stay here to make sure you stay safe. Now go! Besides, they sprayed Fabreeze on the padding so I’m definitely staying.
Tatanga: Fine.
He phases through the wall. Outside, Shroob is putting his hand/claw on the ATM machine to cause twenty-dollar bills to shoot out. Does he have a power?! Meanwhile, Mimi is in her room on a cell phone.
Mimi: I called Petalberg. 12 Shamans with ‘Mer’ as a prefix, and three of them didn’t know Merlee. But I only called three.
She hangs up and puts the phonebook away as someone knocks on her door. It opens to reveal Gadd with his hands behind his back.
Mimi: Hi Dad. Just talking to Boshi about the cupcake report.
Gadd: Yeah, the wife of a guy I worth with is a baker, so I got this for you.
Mimi: “Cupcake History”. That sounds good. Except…
Mimi pulls out a copy of the very same book of her own.
Gadd: … Well there goes $12 I’ll never get back. I’m gonna go to supper, and I’ll be there for you and stuff. See you down.
He leaves, but notices nachos on the windowsill. Meanwhile, Princess Shroob is handcuffed in a chair. Rosalina comes in.
Rosalina: And?
Princess Shroob: My son needs me, I miss my Virtual Pet named Hector, and I want to get rid of Elder.
Rosalina: Okay, I should probably talk to her then.
Princess Shroob: Bad idea… But I guess I might try…
Meanwhile, Tatanga is waiting at his house for Shroob.
Tatanga: Where were you?! Your mother and I were very worried!
Princess Shroob sock puppet: Yes we were!
Shroob: It’s not the same.
Tatanga: Okay, but the question still stands! We’re going to have a very rough… undetermined timeframe from here on out.
Shroob: Would all this money fix it?
Shroob opens his mouth entirely and money spills out.
Tatanga: Wow! And ew.
Meanwhile, the black van stops. The buddies are then taken to the office of a blue Yoshi.
Yoshi: *squeal* Daddy?
Kamek: You did not just call him “daddy”. You could’ve at least said “father”!
Meanwhile, Mimi is on her cell phone.
Mimi: Hello, I’m looking for someone related to Merlee. Are you?
Person: Who is this?
Mimi: Mimi Gadd, Diamond City. Vim Type A. Occupation, High School Student. Social Security Number, star-music note-circle-x.
Person: Wait, repeat that number!
Mimi: No!
Person: How do you know Merlee?
Mimi: I think she was my mom.
Person: What? Her daughter died in a fire, stupid!
Mimi: That’s just it-
The person on the other line is a woman in a red dress with orange hair and a yellow hat thing.
Mimi: I didn’t die!
Person: Well it’s your lucky day, I’m your mom!
Mimi: Mommy!
Kamek: Not again! Oh wait, I’m not in this scene.
Meanwhile, Gadd walks up to a table with a sheet covering King Boo’s body. He removes the sheet to find that it’s just Polari’s beaten body. Gadd then turns to find King Boo.
King Boo: How’s your daughter?
Gadd: Eh, she’s fine.
King Boo: Oh good, ‘cause you know how it can get when you’re in high school.
Gadd: Boy, do I.
They both start
to laugh.
Chapter 14: Can’t talk right now, I’m being distracted
Waluigi is leading Dimentio down the street, both invisible. Waluigi swipes a pretzel.
Dimentio: I wanted that! Oh never mind, we’re coming up to a chicken cart.
Dimentio takes some chicken.
Waluigi: Okay, so you should probably access all your powers to help.
Dimentio: That’s how I fell in a coma.
Waluigi: Then you need to pull them out one at a time. Now see if you can use a power without the person with said power near you- GO!
Waluigi runs and hides behind a trashcan. An old lady who had her purse taken by Waluigi (then shoved into Dimentio’s hands) turns to see Dimentio with it.
Dimentio: Wait! It’s not what it looks like! There’s this purple guy who can… You know, that even sounds crazy to me.
Meanwhile, Rosalina is holding a metronome in front of Princess Shroob. A Toad doctor is holding a title card that says the chapter’s name on it.
P.T.: Where’d you get that?
Toad Doctor: Yard sale.
P.T.: Okay.
Princess Shroob: Remember, Elder is dangerous. And her pits stink.
Rosalina: That’s a pretty strong chair. Plus I can just zap you with my wand.
Princess Shroob: Okay. We had a piano at my house and I couldn’t play it, but my sister could. And she could make an omelet without breaking an egg. But I think she was cheating.
Elder takes over.
Elder: I did not!
Rosalina: (unfazed) Hello Elder.
Elder: You really don’t know when to take a warning! And my pits don’t stink!
Elder breaks free and Rosalina pulls out her wand, but one of Elder’s arms turns into 2 tentacles, and one of them knocks the wand away.
Toad Doctor: We should do something!
P.T.: We could… Or we could just sneak out and hope the crazy alien doesn’t notice us.
They do. Meanwhile, Gadd and King Boo are back to seriousness after their laugh. King Boo points his hand at Gadd, and the scientist goes flying into a wall. He takes Gadd’s wallet and does some complicated stuff I’m too lazy to type.
King Boo: Now I’m going to your house. He leaves and turns the lights off. Wait, I wasn’t supposed to say that part out loud.
He leaves and turns the lights off. Meanwhile, Bob comes into Vincent’s apartment.
Bob: What’s that covered painting?
Vincent: You can’t just barge in! And don’t, that’s-
Bob takes the cover off to see it’s a painting of Mushroom City after the explosion.
Bob: Wow, it’s the view from my dad’s building! Anyway where’s Dimentio?
Vincent: Stay away from him, he’s the reason for that painting! Let me get a new canvas.
Meanwhile, Mimi and Boshi are talking to Cackletta (with Mr. Gills’s bowl in her lap).
Mimi: Please! Petalburg has a really rare cupcake that we need to see!
Cackletta: Fine. Your car working, Boshi?
Boshi: But ma’am, it’s overseas.
Cackletta: I know, I was just gonna take it for a joyride… I wish I didn’t just say that out loud.
Mimi: … Okay, so we’ll be going, no detours. Bye!
Outside…
Boshi: What if she wants proof?
Mimi: I have a giant sprinkle that we can tell her was on the cupcake. Now let’s go!
Meanwhile, Yoshi’s dad is looking at the painting of Yoshi about to throw the egg at the skeleton dinosaur. Nearby is Yoshi’s sister, a blue-green Yoshi.
Kamek: (whispering) Your dad looks angry.
Yoshi: (whispering) He always that way.
Kamek: (whispering) But your sister looks hot.
Yoshi: (whispering) Kamek!
Kamek: (whispering) I’m sorry, but she does! Now you know what it was like when you were fawning over my sister!
Yoshi: (whispering) Oh yeah, say one good thing, and you suddenly love theme!
Kamek: (whispering) “Them.”
Aquashi (Yoshi’s dad, name pronounced Uh-kwashi, not aqua-shi): So you take a sudden break, coming to the Mushroom Kingdom, gorging yourself on its food-
Yoshi: But you lick waffles too!
Aquashi: You mean “like”? Anyway I don’t, so get back to work!
Yoshi: But mission!
Aquashi: GO! PLANE! NOW!
Yoshi: To Gritzy Desert?
Aquashi: NO, TO THE ISLAND, YOU IDIOT!
Yoshi: No!
Aquashi’s phone rings and he answers, then hangs up.
Aquashi: That was the banker. He said that if you return home now you’ll get to be Executive Vice President! Well?
Yoshi: Oh… What I do?
Crowd, including Kamek: Take the deal! Take it!
Yoshi: What?
Kamek: Take the deal!
Yoshi: But what about mission?
Crowd: Take the deal!
Kamek: I never even liked the Mushroom Kingdom!
Yoshi: Hmm… No deal!
He slams the glass case over the button shut.
Aquashi: Waaa! (What?!)
Yoshi: Yoshi! Hah! Bahding-HAP! Wooow! Owowowowow! Waaah! Bum! (I have a destiny! I have to get this painting to Don Pianta to get Shiyo’s egg to stop a bomb! … And I just remembered I kept the fake egg. Oh well.)
Aquashi: Shiyo?! He’s just a myth! Like North Dakota! Now enough with this “destiny”!
Aquashi rips up the painting.
Aquashi: We’re going to the Island, now!
Yoshi: Aww…
Kamek: Does he still get to be Executive Vice President? If not, can I?
Yoshi glares at him. Meanwhile, Princess Shroob wakes up to find the room destroyed and Rosalina motionless, likely dead. A Koopatrol barges in and hits her with a nightstick.
Koopatrol: Oh wait she was supposed to be somewhere else for me to do this. Oh well.
Meanwhile, Waluigi and Dimentio are walking down a street.
Dimentio: You almost got me arrested!
Waluigi: Stop crying! Anyway, we have to figure out what’s holding you back.
Dimentio: That’s okay, now the cops know my address and Bleck is going to give me a Game Over before I blow up.
Waluigi: Ugh, would you STOP seeing yourself through everyone’s eyes? It’s very annoying!
Dimentio: But-
Waluigi: Nein! Now let’s get them out of your head.
Waluigi opens Dimentio’s mouth, and then casts a fishing rod into his mouth. After a few minutes, Waluigi hasn’t got a bite.
Waluigi: Never mind.
He reels it in.
Dimentio: But they’re my family and my best friend.
Waluigi: Oh, so you need them here to hold your hand? … Speaking of which, how do you have hands without any arms?
Waluigi then sees a poster that says “Vote Bleck for First Ever Mario Villain That’s A Count Instead Of A King Or Something.”
Waluigi: That’s a mouthful. Anyway I’m going to cut to the chase: People stink!
Dimentio: But- Wait, I don’t have a girlfriend…
Waluigi: Ha ha!
Meanwhile Vincent is sighing over a painting that’s really hard for me to describe. But there are lots of paintings of an empty Mushroom City. Meanwhile, Yoshi and Kamek are trying to fix the painting.
Kamek: *Kamek noises* (Now what?)
Yoshi: Yoshi! Owowowowow! (I don’t know… Did you put on cologne?!)
Kamek: *Kamek noises* (Uh, no!)
Yoshi’s sister shows up but doesn’t notice Kamek, causing Kamek to go pout in the corner.
Forshi (his sister): Yoshi! Owowowowow! Hmmmmm!!! (You shamed our family!)
Yoshi: Hah! Bading-hap! Yoshi! (I didn’t mean to! Besides, I have a mission!)
Forshi: Hmmmmm!!! (Forget the mission!)
Kamek appears as Forshi leaves.
Kamek: *Kamek noises* (Maybe we should go back. You can’t control your power, we’ll never get the egg, and you’ll get a promotion! Then I can rub you in my mom’s face!)
Yoshi: No... IDIOM!
Kamek: … Are you trying to say “idea”?
Yoshi: Yes!
Meanwhile, Mimi and Boshi walk up to a tent in Petalburg. It has a pinwheel out front.
Mimi: That’s embarrassing.
Boshi: Whatever, just go! Meanwhile I’m gonna see that cupcake and hope they have free samples in the gift shop.
He leaves and Mimi presses a button on a small box on a stick in the ground. It makes the doorbell sound. Merlee (looking torn up, I forgot to say that) comes out.
Merlee: I told you I don’t want your thin mints!
Mimi: No, I’m your daughter.
Merlee: Okay.
Meanwhile, white and stubby hands pick up Captain Gills in his fishbowl.
King Boo: Hi little guy. Is Mimi home from school?
Captain Gills: Like I’d tell you!
King Boo: I’ll ignore that. I guess I’ll have to wait for Mimi then. Do you have a name?
Captain Gills: Yeah dawg, I’m Captain Gills!
King Boo: Oooookaaaay….
Cackletta (off-screen): Captain Gills? Where are you?
Soon, in the kitchen, Cackletta is putting a grocery bag on a table. She drops it after turning to see King Boo with her fish.
Cackletta: Who are you?!
King Boo: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
Later…
King Boo: -hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- GOT IT! My name is Kaybee, and I work with your husband. I came to deliver something, but then I saw this guy outside and thought I’d bring him back in.
King Boo reaches into the fishbowl, petting Captain Gills, forgetting the fish is in water.
Cackletta: How’d he get outside?
King Boo: I don’t know.
Cackletta: What were you going to deliver?
King Boo: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- A pizza! Yeah, that’s right. But then I, uh, gave it to a bunny! Yeah, a bunny.
Cackletta: Well I guess I could let you have some coffee….
Soon…
King Boo: I hate Hoolumbian.
When Cackletta looks away, King Boo murderously looks at Captain Gills for leaping out of the bowl and slapping him with his tail earlier, but stops when she turns back. She turns away again, and then the two have a quick game of poker until she turns back.
King Boo: So, Mr. Gadd is always talking about his kids, especially his daughter. Will I be meeting her?
Cackletta: Sure, stay for dinner even! In fact we’re expecting some more guests that were recently following a guy with a cape around.
King Boo: Okay, just don’t call him. He’s, uh, busy! Yeah…
Meanwhile…
Merlee: So are you a good student?
Mimi: Not at math, but I am popular!
Mimi answers her cell phone, which rings.
Mimi: Yeah Mom, we’re at the cupcake now. It has purple frosting. We’ll be leaving soon, so don’t worry, I won’t miss Burrito Night. Bye. *hangs up*
Merlee: She doesn’t know you’re here?! You’re definitely my kid.
Mimi: And I think I know how I survived the fire!
Mimi takes a knife and cuts her arm. Of course you can’t tell since her arms look like sticks.
Merlee: 0_0
Then her arm heals.
Merlee: Oh yeah? Well-
Merlee focuses and a small flame floats before her face.
Mimi: 0_0
Meanwhile, King Boo spots Mimi’s cheerleading picture.
King Boo: Good posture. And great coordination between the uniforms and the pom-poms, I would never have thought of that!
Cackletta: … Anyway, she’s off to see a giant cupcake in Petalburg for a school report. She’ll be back soon. Man, things have been weird since homecoming. By the way, why are you so interested in her?
King Boo: Uh… She can do something?
Cackletta: Were you at the game?
King Boo: Uh, yes?
Cackletta: Okay. I’m gonna see if Elvin is okay with this-
King Boo: NO!
King Boo points and the phone flies away.
Cackletta: You have The Force?!
King Boo: Yes, we both have super powers. I’m going to kill either you or her first.
Cackletta runs away, but he slams her into a cabinet.
BANG!
Suddenly Gadd charges in, shooting everything, and shoots down a family photo.
Cackletta: Elvy, I’m glad you’re here, but did you have to shoot the family photo?
Gadd: Sorry.
Gadd then shoots King Boo into the fridge, sending him to the ground. Bogmire appears behind Gadd.
Gadd: Kill him!
Later, Cackletta is sitting in a chair.
Gadd: Relax, I’ll get him. And Mimi is fine.
Bogmire: Hi!
Cackletta: … Hi… Honey, who’s that?
Gadd: Ignore him. The Shadow! Do it!
Bogmire: … Fine. But know that every time you call me that, I die a little inside.
Gadd: Less dying, more power!
Bogmire makes Cackletta forget. Meanwhile, Mimi is leaving.
Mimi: I’ll keep in touch. Wait, who’s my dad?
Merlee: I’ll tell you next time.
Suddenly Boshi rides up in his Low-rider, and the song “Low-Rider” is playing because Boshi thought that’d be an ironic song to play on his radio.
Merlee: Oh, and here’s a necklace.
Mimi: Okay.
Meanwhile, Bob enters Vincent’s studio. He sees a painting of a Goomba and a ghost on a roof. There, Bob approaches Vincent.
Vincent: This roof is connected to this whole mess of things going on.
Bob: … Well hi to you too, I’m doing great, thanks for asking.
Vincent: We’re all gonna die with this explosion thing.
Bob: I don’t believe that.
Meanwhile, Dimentio and Waluigi are invisibly watching.
Dimentio: Oh great, not that guy! He keeps following me! The Goomba.
Waluigi: Ah.
Meanwhile, Yoshi is talking to Aquashi and Forshi.
Yoshi: Yoshi! (Okay, I’ll go back. And I’ll consolidate management. Whatever that means.)
Forshi: Owowowow! (You can’t do that! That’ll be a disaster!)
Yoshi: Yoshi! (Too bad, I’m the boss!)
Forshi: Waaah! Yoshi! (If anyone knows how to run anything, it’s me, got it?!)
Yoshi: Hah! Yoshi! (Aha! See, Daddy? You don’t need me, she’s smart already!)
Aquashi: Owowowowowow! (Hmm… And don’t call me daddy. You’re an adult.)
Meanwhile, a Koopatrol throws Princess Shroob her civilian clothes.
Koopatrol: Okay, get dressed.
He leaves.
Princess Shroob: Huh?
Frankie: Time for you to go home! Some guy on death row confessed to doing everything you did, so you can leave.
Princess Shroob: Is Don Pianta behind this? Either way, I’ve gotta stay here.
Frankie: No.
Meanwhile, Dimentio is looking out to the city on the roof.
Dimentio: Ha! Maybe now he’ll leave me!
Waluigi: You know in Heroes, your guy was mad because that Goomba’s guy was a girl who he thinks left him. But whatever. Now stop being distracted!
Dimentio: But they’re not distractions!
Waluigi: Then fly, clown boy, fly! Remember what this is about, unless you need your friend’s permission!
Dimentio: Forget this! What are you, afraid of the world? I don’t need you!
Waluigi: Fine, but I’ll take your cloak as payment!
Waluigi pushes him off the roof but yanks his purple and yellow cloak, revealing a black shirt underneath, which matches his pants but has no sleeves as he has no arms. Dimentio tries to fly, but smashes into a cab, with a bar stuck in his chest.
Dimentio: Ew…
He falls asleep but wakes up later and removes the bar and gets up and then fully heals.
Dimentio: That jerk. Now I need a new cloak!
Waluigi: Didn’t expect that power.
Waluigi is seen walking out the building’s front door. Dimentio shoves him into a wall.
Dimentio: YOU FREAKING PUSHED ME OFF A BUILDING AND THEN YOU STOLE MY CLOAK AT THE SAME TIME AND I COULD’VE DIED!
Waluigi: Hey, just be glad you cleared your mind finally!
Dimentio: Cleared? I remembered a transforming spider thingy from Diamond City that could do that, and then I could do it! You got it backwards!
Then something weird happens to Dimentio involving his hands and buzzing, then Waluigi punches him, knocking him out.
Dimentio: (losing conscious) I want my cloak… back…
Waluigi: No, it’s my trophy from when I pushed you.
Meanwhile, Vincent finishes a painting of Dimentio lying on a crushed cab with his legs gradually getting invisible. He then dials a number. Meanwhile, men in dark suits are cleaning up the Gadd house. Gadd answers a cell phone. Back with Vincent…
Vincent: I know how to stop Dimentio from blowing up, but he’s invisible or something.
Gadd (on the other line): Okay. I guess my old friend isn’t that dead.
Meanwhile, Aquashi is in front of his limo with Yoshi and Kamek facing him.
Yoshi: You make good cheese.
Aquashi: No I don’t. Unless you meant “choice”. And I still don’t like this mission.
Yoshi: That okay. Now I save world!
Yoshi hugs him.
Aquashi: I should have never read those stories to you.
Aquashi gets in his limo and Forshi appears.
Forshi: *clears throat* Yoah-ooh all krezzeee.
Yoshi: … “You are crazy?”
Kamek: That’s my pupil.
Forshi: Yoshi! Wow! Owowowow! (Yes, my Mushroomese is bad. You’re crazy!)
The sibling Yoshis hug, then Kamek prepares, but Forshi just shakes his hand and gets in the limo.
Kamek: Oh yeah. She digs me.
Yoshi: WHAT?!
Meanwhile, Shroob enters his mom’s room.
Shroob: Can we play Scrabble?
Princess Shroob: Ugh, fine.
Shroob leaves and Princess Shroob isn’t wearing her gloves and her head is bigger, so we know it’s Elder. She goes into the bathroom and Princess Shroob is in the mirror, angry.
Princess Shroob: No! I stubbed my toe! Again.
Meanwhile…
Mimi: Mom, I’m home!
Boshi: (whispering) Necklace!
Mimi notices and takes it off. They enter the kitchen.
Cackletta: HOW DARE YOU SKIP SCHOOL?!
Mimi: Mom, we told you that we were going to the Cupcake Museum in Petalburg.
Boshi: Yeah, and we have a giant sprinkle to prove it!
He holds it up.
Boshi: … Can I eat it?
Mimi: No!
Cackletta: I don’t know… Man, I have a headache.
Mimi: Okay, you lie down and I’ll set the table.
Cackletta: Okay.
She goes and Boshi leaves. Mimi starts setting the table and notices a piece of glass and Gadd on the phone. Meanwhile, Merlee nervously dials a number.
Man on the other end: Hello?
Merlee: Our daughter is alive!
Meanwhile…
Bleck: 0_o
Woah, it’s Bleck! And yeah, the other eye is smaller because that’s his monocle.
P.T.: I never knew you had another kid! Good for you!
Kool-Aid Man: Oh yeah!
Bleck: Ugh… Wait, how’d you guys get in?
