Chapter 4: Phantom of the Wicked Cool RPG

(Note: I dedicate this chapter to Celestial, as I am using slightly edited versions of the songs she managed to obtain for her story, which is a parody of “The Phantom of the Opera”. I also dedicate it to the guys that officially made that musical.)

Yoshi: So, Metal’s still busy?

WT: More or less. He remembered that nobody really cares about music from a Mario Party game, so he’s trying to remix General Guy’s theme into a Super Smash Bros. Remix.

Yoshi: Didn’t he already do that?

WT: Yeah, but it’s going to take a while before he remembers that himself. So, do you like how things are going?

Yoshi: It could be better, to tell the truth. The whole idea of a mimic is a bit awkward, though I bet it will be better once he copies a boss move or two.

WT: Really? Well then, you’d better hurry. Carl only has five pages in that book of his, and if you remember, two are already filled. That means he can only remember three more moves for the rest of this adventure.

Yoshi: Meh. So, where’s the fourth Thingy at?

WT: The Crypt of Sir Koopalot. It’s your traditional horror scenario, as the power of the Thingy has brought the dead back to life. Don’t worry, it’ll be easy for guys like you.

Yoshi: Fine; but only because I want to get this adventure over and done with.

Carl: L3t’s t/\k3 0ur c/\r /\ga1/\/!

Shawn: So, you’ve decided to stick with us and not return to your own time?

Carl: \/\/3ll, 1s/\/’t th/\t 0d\/10us? 0f (0urs3 1'/\/\ st/\y1/\/g!

Kam: Do you EVER stop speaking in leet?!

Carl: /\/0.

Kam: I was afraid of that...

And so, Yoshi’s party drives down the road to the Crypt, as they obtained a map there via plothole. They reach the location, and find... nothing out of the ordinary. Well, as ordinary as a crypt could be.

Shawn: I think that guy lied to us. There’s no-

Creepy Voice: Such things as ghosts?

Shawn: That wasn’t what I was going to say. I mean, there are Boos, those guys Luigi faced in his... wait a second! YOU’RE A GHOST YOURSELF!

Creepy Voice: Yes, I think something like that is quite obvious. I am none other than Sir Koopalot himself, and I... well, I’m in a bit of a situation.  I was supposed to “Rest in Peace”, but that lousy Thingy keeps us awake and undead!

Carl: \/\/hy d0/\/’t y0u ju5t 5hut 1t 0ff?

Koopalot: I would, but it’s in the possession of some girl named Cynthia. She’s a living, mortal Medi Guy-

Shawn: Actually, the correct term is “Medi GAL” if it’s a female, though there aren’t many girls of our species.

Yoshi: Ha! I KNEW that you were that Shy Guy!

Koopalot: Whatever. Anyways, she’s keeping us awake and forcing us to do her bidding.

Kam: So, what exactly is her bidding?

Koopalot: She wants us to build her a theater next to the Crypt, and she also wants to be given a magnificent voice. We built the theatre, but her voice sounds like a cat scratching its claws on a chalkboard. AND, if we’re not at rest by the beginning of the new year, which is TWO DAYS FROM NOW, we’ll be the living dead forever!

Suddenly, a Glum Reaper floats into the room.

Koopalot: What’s the matter, Glummy?

Glummy: It’s Cynthia! She’s... gone!

Koopalot: Gone?! But without her, we’ll never go back to resting in peace!  Who could do something like this?!

Meanwhile, in a mysterious location underneath the theatre, Cynthia awakens with a jolt.

Cynthia: Where... where on Plit am I?

Voice: You are in my home, dear child. I wanted to congratulate you for trying so hard.

Cynthia: Are you... a Phantom?

Voyce: Why yes, I am. You know, I’ve been watching over you for quite some time now.

Cynthia: You have? ... Wait, how come ‘Voice’ was spelled wrong?

Phantom: That doesn’t matter. Anyways... consider me your "Angel of Music". Just promise to never leave the confines of this theater, and to stay as my pupil, and I will make sure you are a famous singer, just as you've always wanted!

Cynthia: You... mean that?

Phentom: I promise.

Cynthia: Then you have a deal! I’ll always think of you as my angel!

Phuntom: Excellent. Now, come to me, angel of music!

Cynthia starts dancing around the room like a ballerina.

Cynthia: (slightly afraid and now singing) In sleep you sing to me, in dreams you came, that voice which calls to me, and speaks my name! And do I dream again? For now I find, the Phantom of the Theater is here, inside my mind!

Phontom: Sing once again with me, a strange duet, my power over you, grows stronger yet!

The Phentem, while singing this, raises his hand and sprinkles some magic onto Cynthia.

Cynthia: And though you turn from me to glance behind, The Phantom of the Theater is here, inside your mind!

The music plays and Cynthia dances with the Photon, hypnotically.

Cynthia: Those who have seen your face draw back in fear, I am the mask you wear!

Phuron: It's me they hear!

Both: Our spirit and our voice in one combined, the Phantom of the Theater is there, inside our mind!

Pokon: In all your fantasies, you always knew, that ghost and mystery!

Cynthia: We're both in you!

Both: And in this labyrinth where night is light, the Phantom of the Theater is there!

Cynthia: Inside my mind! He's here, the Phantom of the Theater! Aaaaaahhhaaaaaaaahhhhaaaahhh!

Plonker: (casting spell upon Cynthia) Sing!

Cynthia: Aaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Pholks: Sing for me!

Cynthia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Photo: Sing, my angel of music!

Cynthia: AAAAAAAAAaaaaAAAAAA!

Poker: SING FOR ME!

Cynthia: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Glass shatters as Cynthia sings that final note.

Cynthia: That was wonderful! I promise to stay here forever!

Popcorn: Perfect. Now, come with me before those two ghosts that run this theater go completely crazy with fear.

Pecker blindfolds Cynthia and carries her back. When Cynthia is told to take her blindfold off, she’s back in her dressing room. However, the Peacock is gone  Seconds later, Yoshi and the gang enter the room.

Glummy: Phew, she’s okay!

Carl: Th/\t’5 /\ r3l13f!

Shawn: I... um...

Shawn is nearly speechless, as he’s amazed by the sheer beauty of Cynthia.

Koopalot: Where have you been, Cynthia?

Cynthia: I met this weird guy who’s called the Phantom... or was it Poker?  It might have even been Plonker, but I couldn’t tell from all the typos.

Yoshi: Typos? That sounds familiar...

Cynthia: Anyways, he taught me to sing better!

Cynthia sings the first few lines of the song “Angel of Music”, and the group applauds.

Glummy: That was excellent!

Koopalot: This is wonderful! Once you sing in tomorrow’s grand opening performance, we can finally return to our slumber! We should have a celebration!

Kam: How about... a masquerade?

Koopalot and Glummy: PERFECT!

Koopalot: We’ve got to start preparing immediately! Hey, you guys!

Yoshi, Shawn, and Kam: You mean us?

Carl: Y0u /\/\3a/\/ u5?

Koopalot: Yes! If we’re going to have this party, celebrating so many things-

Glummy: Including you getting that Star Thingy after Cynthia doesn’t need it anymore-

Koopalot: -we’ll need a bit of help!

Kam: Why not? We’ll get the Thingy either way, right?

Yoshi, Kam, Carl, and the two ghosts leave. Shawn is still in the room, attempting to say something.

Shawn: Um... about that masquerade thing... would you... uh...

Cynthia: Yes?

Shawn: Um... would you be... my date?

Cynthia: ... Really?  I mean, you look cool, but I never thought you’d get the courage to ask me! I’ll go with you.

Shawn: Really? Wow, I can’t believe this! See you tonight at the party!

Cynthia: It’s a date!

Shawn leaves the room, and Cynthia starts putting on some makeup. However, the Phermone is watching from the rafters.

Putter: Great, it’s Shawn! What are those heroes doing here? If Cynthia falls in love with him and gives those guys her Star Thingy, my existence will cease once more! I have to stop this!

Later that night, the masquerade is a success. All the awakened ghosts have attended, and it’s quite a blast. Everyone attending is wearing a mask, as that is what you do at a traditional masquerade (though Cynthia, Carl, and Shawn always wear masks and don’t need a fancy one). Cynthia is looking for her date, Shawn, but is stopped by a man in a black tuxedo.

Tuxedo Guy: Hello, charming lady. Would you care to dance?

Cynthia: Sorry, but I’m already vouched for. Have you seen a Shy Guy by the name of Shawn around?

Tuxedo Gam: ... No, I haven’t.

Cynthia: Well, I’m sure I’ll find him eventually.

Cynthia walks past Tuxeto Gob and makes her way through the crowd until she finds her date. Meanwhile, Trombone Guise sneaks away, planning to take Cynthia by force in his next attempt. Meanwhile, Yoshi and the two ghosts are in a corner of the theater, talking to each other and about to start the next musical number.

Yoshi: Well, Koopalot, what a splendid party!

Koopalot: A prologue to a bright new year!

Glummy: Quite a night, I'm impressed!

Koopalot: Well, one does one's best...

All Three: Here's to us!

Glummy: (laughing to himself) I must say all the same it is a shame that Phantom fellow isn't here!

Chorus: MASQUERADE! Paper faces on parade! Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you! Masquerade! Every face a different shade! Masquerade! Look around, there's another mask behind you! Some are Ghosts, some are Living, have some punch, doesn't matter, see the king, see the priest, feed on geese, faces rouge, face of beast, FACES! Take your turn, take a ride on the MERRY GO ROUND! Or see the human race!

Everyone continues to have a wonderful time while singing. Well, except for Shawn and Cynthia, who are looking for each other.

Chorus: Axem Black! Good old Mack! Curl of lips!

Kam: Spoiled rum?

Gambler: Ace of hearts?

Server: Face of Clam?

Shawn looks around as he is offered odd games to play and food not to his liking, and just smiles and shakes his head, looking for Cynthia.

Chorus: FACES! Drink it in, drink it up, 'til you drown in the light, in the sound!

Ladies: But can you name the face?

Chorus: MASQUERADE! Seeing devils dressed in red! MASQUERADE! Take your fill, let the spectacle astound you! MASQUERADE! Blazing Shroobs turning red! Masquerade! Stop and stare, let the sea of smiles surround you!

Whispering Chorus: Masquerade! Seemingly shadows, breathing life! Masquerade! You can fool any friend who ever knew you!

Chorus: MASQUERADE! Empty faces baring eyes!

Shawn now spots Cynthia walking through the crowd, and makes his way over.

Chorus: MASQUERADE! Run and hide, or let whoever you want pursue you!

Shawn makes his way to Cynthia, and gets close enough to be noticed. Cynthia immediately recognizes the Shy Guy and gladly accepts Shawn's hand. Meanwhile, the Teriffic Max watches angrily and disappears into the crowd.  Also, a small crowd around Koopalot is marveling about how posh the theater has become and he is gobbling up the compliments.

Yoshi: What a night!

Carl: \/\/h/\t /\ (r0\/\/d!

Glummy: Makes you glad!

Koopalot: Makes you proud, of all the creme de la creme!

Carl: \/\/at(hi/\/g u5, \/\/at(hi/\/g th3/\/\!

Kam: And to think no one's seen that Phantom since that night!

Glummy: What a relief!

Yoshi: Of delight!

Koopalot and Glummy: Of this wonderful peace!

Kam and Yoshi: And we can breathe at last!

Carl: /\/0 /\/\0r3 gh05t!

Yoshi: No more ghost!

Carl: H3r3's /\ Ha/\/\!

Glummy: Here's a toast!

Yoshi: To a prosperous year!

Koopalot: To the new chandelier!

Yoshi: Your idea? How marvelous!

Kam: What a change!

Glummy: And what a blessed release!

Koopalot: And what a masquerade!

As they are all marveling, the scene quickly switches over to Cynthia as she is whispering to Shawn, who is a little confused.

Cynthia: Think of it, a secret engagement, look! Your future bride! Just think of it!  Won’t it be wonderful?

Shawn: Really? You mean it? Cool! But... why is it secret? What do we have to hide?

Cynthia: Please, let's not fight!

Shawn: Cynthia, you're free.

Cynthia: Wait 'til the time is right.

Shawn: When will that be? It's an engagement, not a crime! Cynthia, what are you afraid of? Don’t tell me it’s not that Phantom guy...

Cynthia: Let's not argue! Please pretend...

Shawn: Fine, let's not argue.

Cynthia: You will...

Shawn: I only hope I will...

Together: Understand in time!

Cynthia and Shawn dance about while singing to each other. The guy formerly known as Tortellini Mob hides in a corridor, now that he has taken off his costume, and is revealed to be the Pikmin. Angrily, he realizes what is going on, and disappears into the shadows.

Chorus: MASQUERADE! Paper faces on parade! Masquerade! Hide your face so the world will never find you! Masquerade! Every face a different shade! Turn around, there's another mask behind you! MASQUERADE! Dancing devils all in red! MASQUERADE! Look around, let the sea of smiles surround you!
MASQUERADE! Pretty bells ringing round! MASQUERADE! Everything is looking grand, look around, let the spectacle astound you!

The second the song ends, the new chandelier Koopalot was talking about falls down into the crowd below. While the guests are panicking, the Penton (who cut the ropes) grabs Cynthia and runs. Yoshi, Shawn, Kam, and Carl see this and run after him. After a bit of chasing, they end up in the catacombs underneath the theatre.

Kam: Wait. Those ghosts managed to build this entire maze of catacombs? This place is so big, it looks like it took years to create!

Yoshi: Apparently.

Shawn: Look, over there!

Shawn points to the Pokemon, running down a tunnel with Cynthia in his arms.

Pocket: Now once more to the dungeon of my dark despair, as we plunge into the prison of my mind! Down the pathness of darkness deep as-

Carl: 5T0P, K1D/\/APP3R!

Yoshi: That’s no mere kidnapper. That’s none other than... THE GHOST OF SUPER FUSION TYPO MAN!

Shawn: THAT’s Super Fusion Typo Man?

Yoshi: Of course! Who else would have his name changed every time he was mentioned? I’m guessing he was brought back along with the other ghosts, and WANTS to stay undead forever!

Kam: But why?

Super Fusion Typo Man: Why? You ask, was I bound and chained to this cold and dismal chase? Not for any moral sin, but the wickedness of this accursed world!

Carl: S/\y \/\/h/\t?

Silly Fusion Typo Man: Yoshi! You treated me like a doormat! Climbing up Trippy Tower uninvited, beating me to an early grave, and taking my Star Thingy away from me! Oh, but now is the time for revenge. I needed to live, thinking perhaps, it was my chance to get back at you cruel people! So I tought the only person here who really wanted anything to do with the art of theater; the one who would keep me living long enough to extract my revenge! The rest of you... All you wanted was that Star Thingy!

Koopalot: That sounds a lot more like moral sins to me.

Steaming Futon Typo Man, enraged by that remark, summons a bunch of Emails into the room that attack and stun the good guys. He then starts to run away with Celeste again. Shawn wobbles a bit, trying to break out of his paralysis.

Shawn: Cynthia! I won’t let that vile creature harm you!

Shawn breaks out of paralysis and frees the others before they run after Super Funtime Terrain Man. Meanwhile, the villain in question has made it to his chambers (where Cynthia first met him) and locks the doors.

Super Man Typing Fusion: Hounded it out by everyone, led with hatred everywhere, no kind words from anyone, no compassion anywhere! (crying) Cynthia! Cynthia! Why? Why?

Yoshi’s gang splits up to search for the Medi Gal. Carl goes the opposite way from Shawn, and eventually comes across a large wooden door. He tries to open it, but it is locked.

Carl: (y/\/th1a?! (Y/\/th1a!

Cynthia: (hearing Carl) Who are you? Where are you?

Carl: 1'/\/\ /\ fr13/\/d 0f 5ha\/\/n!

Cynthia: Really? In that case, can you get me out of here?

Stupid Futuristic Typo Man appears before the Wrench Guy by using a plot hole, and readies to punch his lights out. Carl puts his hands up and glares at him.

Carl: Ha\/3 y0u g0rg3d y0urs3lf /\t l/\st 1n y0ur lu5t f0r r3v3ng3? A/\/\ 1 n0\/\/ t0 b3 pr3y, 1n y0ur lust f0r h3r fl3sh?

Super Fictional Typo Mollusk: That fate which condones me to wallow in vengeance, has also denied me the joys of the flesh! This place, an infection, which poisons my heart! This place, my first modest scrap of
mystery!

Special Fishing Typo Man begins to lower the wand, thinking.

Singing Family Typo Man: A fusion, my first unfeeling ability! Pity comes too late, turn around and face your fate!

Super Fusion Turbulence Man aims at Carl again.

Slick Fusion Toto Man: An eternity of THIS before your eyes!

Simon Finkrat Typo Man punches Carl, who falls back against the wall in pain. He than takes him in the room and locks the door once more. Cynthia, happy to see a friendly face, smiles.

Cynthia: So, you’re Carl?

Carl: ... Y3/\h.  D0/\/’t \/\/0rry, 1'/\/\ f1/\/3.

Cynthia: Well, if you ALWAYS talk like that when you’re fine, I’d hate to hear you when you’re feeling bad! Now listen; I have an idea...

Sunny Fusion Typo Marvel: Wait. I think, my dear, we have some guests! (singing close to the door for Yoshi, Shawn, and Kam to hear) Sir, this is indeed an unparalleled delight! I had rather hoped that you would come, and now my wish comes true, you have truly made my night!

Shawn: (banging on the door) FREE HER!

Yoshi: Do what you like, only free her!

Kam: Have you no pity?

Sum Fun Tun Man: Sorry, but no. She’ll be here until sunset tomorrow, and by then, I’ll be on this world forever!

Cynthia: Oh man, this is useless!

Shawn: But I love her! And she loves me! Does that mean nothing? Show me some compassion!

SFTM: Well, you and Yoshi showed no compassion towards me!

Yoshi: Dude, YOU were the one that attacked US!

Kam: Well, can I come in? I didn’t do anything to you!

Surfing Fusion Typo Man: In that case, be my guest.

The villain opens the door, letting Kam enter. However, all three charge in and tackle him. He then throws the heroes into a corner of the room, dusts himself off, and gets back up.

Super Foggy Turbo Man: Mounsieurs, I bid you welcome. Did you think that I would harm her? Why should I make her pay for the sins which are YOURS?!

Simple Fusion Timed Man summons more Emails to blast Yoshi, slamming him into the corner he had pushed him against a second ago. He raises his hand again, but stops suddenly, realizing he is in complete control.

Solvent Fusion Typo Man: Swarms of Shroobs couldn't stop me now; raise up your hands to the level of your eyes! Nothing can save you now except, perhaps, Cynthia!

Sickening Fusion Typo Man then quickly blasts Kam and Shawn, and turns to Cynthia while Shawn struggles to stand.

Super Fickle Typo Man: Give me a new life! Buy his freedom with your Thingy! Refuse me and you send your lover to his grave! This is the choice. This is the POINT OF NO RETURN!

Cynthia starts crying and looks up at Super Fusion Turnabout Man, sadly.

Cynthia: The tears I might have shed for your dark fate grow cold and turn to tears of Hate!

Shawn: Celeste, forgive me! I did this all for nothing! I did this all for you and all for nothing!

Cynthia: Angel of Music, I thought you were my guardian!

Super Fusion Typo Mannikin: You're Past the Point of No Return!

Cynthia: I gave my mind blindly!

Cynthia looks over to Swart Fusion Typo Man, seeing he is feeling rejected, and becomes consumed with sadness and compassion.

Sitcom Fusion Typo Man: YOU TRY MY PATIENCE! MAKE YOUR CHOICE!

Cynthia: Beautiful creature of darkness, what kind of life have you known? I've gained the courage to show you, you are not allloooonnnnnnne!

Super Flying Typo Man looks over to Shawn, and his steadfast aim falters. He looks back over to Cynthia and blushes.

Special Fusion Teddy Man: I...

Cynthia holds out her arms, and Super Frolicking Typo Man runs into them and clings to her like a small child.

Steadfast Fusion Typo Man: You- You're the only one who understands me...

Shawn: (standing up weakly) Sup- Super Fusion Typo Man! I won't let you... get away!

Carl: 5ha\/\/n! H3r3! T/\k3 /\/\y \/\/r3/\/(h!

Carl tosses Shawn his wrench, and Shawn catches it and points it at Sad Fillet Typo Man.

Samson Fusion Typo Man: What? A trick?!

Cynthia: You’d better believe it!

Silicon Fusion Typo Man pushes Cynthia away from him and pulls out a very large stick. They begin to fight, fencing style, each with there, um... deadly weapons, until Shawn loses his balance and almost falls. Super
Fantastic Typo Man raises his fist above Shawn to finish him off, but Cynthia jumps in front of Shawn to save him. The Medi Gal clutches her stomach in pain, as she absorbed the entire attack.

Shawn: You... you saved me?

Cynthia: After all you’ve gone through to save me... *cough*... I thought it would be right to save you, too...

Cynthia passes out beside Shawn. Shawn is now furious with the creature.  Seeing that Yoshi, Kam, and Carl are fine, Shawn charges towards Succulent Fusion Typo Man and begin a traditional RPG battle.

After the battle is won, Shawn runs over to Cynthia. He checks her pulse. She’s dead.

Shawn: Cynthia.....

A blue aura surround Cynthia. Her spirit rises out of her body.

Cynthia’s Spirit: Thank you kindly for all your help, Shawn. Although I am dead, I am deeply moved by your actions. Please, bury my body by the Crypt, so I may have an honorable ceremony.

Shawn, although tears are streaming from his eyes, accepts. After Yoshi and his friends bury the body, they walk back into the theater and are greeted by Koopalot and Glummy.

Koopalot: Yoshi! Shawn! You have truly saved the day! Please, I request that you stay here for the night and rest up. Cynthia, or rather, Cynthia’s spirit wants to show you all something tomorrow.

So, the group agrees and has a good night’s sleep. Later the next day, which is New Year’s Eve, Yoshi and the others are sitting in the front row of the theater.

Kam: I can’t believe she still going to sing after all this commotion.

Yoshi: I wonder if she CAN sing.  It was Super Fusion’s magic that made her voice so extraordinary, and now that he’s gone for good, will she still have a lovely voice?

The theater then becomes silent as the curtains rise.  On stage, Cynthia’s spirit is standing there, ready to sing.

Cynthia’s Spirit: Well, here goes nothing...

Cynthia’s Spirit takes in a deep breath, and starts to sing more beautifully than any other singer before.

Cynthia’s Spirit (very confidently): In sleep you sing to me, in dreams you came, that voice which calls to me, and speaks my name! And do I dream again? For now I find, the Phantom of the Theater is here, inside my mind!

Cynthia’s Spirit sings as beautifully as physically possible. After the song ends, the entire audience (consisting of various spirits and Yoshi’s party) applauds. Cynthia’s Spirit, having gotten her wishes, pulls the Star Thingy out of her pocket.  She throws it to Shawn, who manages to catch it. The tune plays as soon as Shawn grabs it.

Cynthia’s Spirit: Good luck on your quest, and may you always remember me...

All of the ghosts then fade away, as the Star Thingy is no longer stopping them from their eternal slumber. Yoshi and his friends start to exit the theater, but Shawn decided to take a good look around before he leaves.

Shawn: Rest in Peace, Cynthia.  May we meet again one day.

Shawn then exits, with a very treasured memory now in his heart.

WT: Aw, isn’t that sweet... Anyways, our heroes have almost all 5 Star Thingys! Will they be able to get the 5th one in time before something horrible happens? Will Shawn and Cynthia meet again one day?  Will Carl fill up the remaining two pages in his book with really good moves, and how come he hasn’t used his wrench until now? And most importantly, will Super Fusion Typo Guy return to battle our heroes once more? Stay tuned to find out!
