Just letting you know, I don't plan on selling anyone out. So you can forget asking for information.
(Oh, yeah...? And what's stopping me from atomizing you along with every one of your friends?)
Your hypocrisy.
(I don't get it--)

Suddenly, Yoshes is zapped from behind with a ray blast, which, while not doing much damage... drains up all the power he had stored.

(...My ONE chance to be important. And I blew it.)

Yoshles is then blasted by an Eye Laser from the Black Jewel. Everyone else looks from where the shot came from...

...An old man. Really.
I came to kick bubblegum and chew ass... And I'm all out of ass.
Your ONE chance to be important! And you BLEW it!

Rubbing his neck painfully, Waluigi eventually rises.

But... seriously.. somethin' else has been botherin' us.
What?
Shake King... he sent people to attack Diamond City 'cause 'a me. Everybody else has'ta deal with him 'cause I kicked him to the curb in the first place.
If I beat him again, and he comes back... he might kill more people than ever just to get through to us. Then that means no one else has'ta pay... and neither will other people who want a piece'a the world.
But if I start... killin'... what if things go down south avenue? What if I become some sorta monster!?
As if to imply you aren't already.
This isn't a game! I can't escape this! I need to know...!
No, you don't need to know. You don't even want to know. What you want is for me to either justify murdering for you or convince you not to so that if something goes wrong, you're not to blame.
Tough.
What you need to do is wake up and face reality. That's a choice you're going to have to make yourself. Assuming you even do manage to beat Shake King, anyway. Do you even know how you're going to win?
Eh? Well, ah... A bit of the ol' one-two punches and he'll probably be down for the count!
Against someone who is not only probably stronger than you but has a longer reach.
I'll bash him down!
He's fought you twice, and has people who have fought you before. He knows how you operate.
...Soldier March?
You're hopeless.

You two had better have a good reason for being here. I can only smile once every 10 decades and I just wasted a freebie on you guys.
We need to know... Am I ready? Ready to take Shake King on?
...Why would I know that? I know nothing about him. And until I manage to gain enough magic, I can't do anything "supernatural". So if you were expecting me to turn you back...
...Waluiigi?
Wario?
Mushroom.
Mushroom?
Mushroom.

Waluigi pulls out a Mushroom from under his overalls, and passes it to Wario. Wario clenches with his fist, crushing it, and immediately grows larger... until...

WAHAHAHAHAH! NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT! Back to my old, handsome, non-midget self!
Huh...
What?
Waluigi's just curious... but were your biceps always that large?

Wario bonks Waluigi on the head.

Of course they were, you ninny! Wario is built different!
...

Wario realizes he just knocked Waluigi out cold.

Oh... Ahahah... I guess I don't know my own strength!
Don't leave him lying there on my floor.

Before Wario can ring the doorbell again, the door suddenly opens.

Wario! Wario's brother or something! I didn't think you two would ever come back so soon! Please, come in!
Huh! Guess the runt ain't as bad as you were talkin' about, Wario!
...Wario?
(She actually invited us in rather than just walking away, or slamming the door in our face. Usually when she wants someone to come in, she'll say nothing but keep the door open and turn her back on us without any sort of greeting or regard for my well-being..)
(This is most definitely some kind of trickery at work. No Zoomer would naturally act this kind. It's likely that little shapeshifter Demon pet of hers has shapeshifted into her... Or perhaps that's what she wants me to think that so I'll let my guard around her. No matter what, the utmost constant is that I keep my guard up at all times.)
(Waluigi? Unreliable. He doesn't have a clue about what might be going on. If I try to save him, he'll be nothing but a liability to my safety. I can't take that risk without some immense luck, which I would rather not rely on in a situation such as this one. nonetheless, I have to make sure he's beside me so that No matter what I have a meatshield in case of emergency.)
(As much as an idiot as that bumbling clown can be, nobody-- not even he himself realizes how much intellect he actually caries with him There's no doubt that last stint mine is turning the gears in whatever he has that's supposed to qualify as a brain. He's probably trying to adapt and figure me out this instant without trying to look suspicious.... but it's too late.)
Are you going to come in or not?
Yeah, whatever!

Wario shoves Waluigi inside the mansion.

Hey, watch it!
(He went in second. Under normal circumstances he'll throw a temper tantrum if he's not the first inside a building... He's testing the waters for traps.)

A second after Waluigi enters, Wario somersaults inside. He immediately does a quick scan of everything.

(No traps or setups plain sight, obviously. Nothing suspicious to my left... no horrid nightmare ghouls to my right... no zombies above me, and nothing down....so the trap must be...)
Right behind you.
!

Wario turns around... to see Ashley flailing her wand at him.

Uh...
(Oh, yeah. That Vaati guy stole all my magic power.)

The figure from before looks outside the window. Sipping noises come from the table behind her.

*smack*... Ahhh. In all of my years, I've never tasted a herbal tea as good as this one...
...Mostly because I've never had any until now. But in it's own way, that's good! It makes you the standard!
Stop dawdling. If you're here to do some nefarious scheme, go ahead. It's pretty obvious you're the reason none of my magic spells work anymore.
Yes, about that... well, you seeeeee.... I'll be needing my hands on any magic power I can get.
Then you already have what you want. Leave me out of--
Why I need so much magic, you ask? It's a funny story, but, if you wish to know, I'm sure I can humor you... so a guy with a halo comes around and--

*DING DONG*
...
...Oop! That's all the time we have for today! I'll just... leave... Aw, that's-- that's kinda awkward because I was gonna go through the front door, but that's where those two silly geese are waiting for you. So, like-- do you have a back door or something? Because I do--
Leave. NOW.
...
...And sign the guest book before you go.
...*sigh*...

---

---

There. Sheesh. And I was beginning to think you were cool! I'm totally writing "high-strung" on your page!

Vaati warps away.

...
....*DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDONG**DINGDO

Why do you keep ringing the doorbell?
Sometimes she doesn't respond to get you to think she isn't there... Which would be effective.... If she actually had a life.

Waluigi's just saying, that's kinda sus.
I'm serious, Waluigi! The entire reason we're in this dill pickle is because I didn't finish the job on Shake King!
If that Mercenary comes back for our heads, what's to say he won't use his blood money to become some kinda cyborg after we pound him? Or, or some kinda robot-monster!?
Well when ya put it like that, maybe our eternal battle with taxes wouldn't need to be so eternal at all.
Gnah, maybe we could keep them alive. And I ain't interested in wiping the floor with some Spearhead, either. But when push comes to shove...
Hey, Wario. You said earlier we were goin' to a haunted mansion, right?
What 'about it?

Waluigi points in front of them.

On a scale 'a one to ten, how 'Haunted' would you determine the mansion in front of us?

Wario stops at Waluigi's remark, looking at the Haunted Mansion in front of them...

...That's the one, Waluigi. That's the one.

Yeah, 'bout that... My answer is gonna hafta be a resounding nuh-uh.
But we didn't even say anything to you yet!!
I know. And that ain't fair. But I don't want to hear anything you guys have to say. 'Cause I'm done being some bad-guy punk.
I was promised I'd get my old position at Yo'ster Isle back. How'd that go? I was assured I'd feel stronger than ever. I got the wind knocked out of me by a green glove-spiked freak.
What you guys are gonna do is try to lure me in so I can help you in case things end up goin' south. You don't care what's in it for me! You just want to drag me down with you guys so that when the goody-two-shoes heroes come rearin' their heads around, I'LL be caught in the center with you!...
...All in all, I know who I am. I know what I want. I know why I want it. And I know how I'm gonna get it... And it won't be with any of YOU.
...I see. Then the next time we cross paths... we will be mortal enemies.
"Ooooo, I'm soOoOOoOo scared!" Like heck I am. You and your stupid Koopa King can kiss my rear.

Boshi slaps his behind 3 times in front of Bowser and Kamek before leaving in a trail of dust.... and then shortly coming back.

Also don't take any of what I said personally. Please don't revoke the speak-in-intelligible-language spell you cast on me, I actually do appreciate it.

Boshi leaves again.

...Say, what happened to Jr.?
Didn't you send him to "take out the trash"? It's been awfully long since then. Allow me...

Kamek uses his rod to create a visual glimpse of Bowser Jr., viewing it.

OH MY WORD!
WHAT!?
...The Elite Trio have finally returned.
...Hmph. It's about time.

On second thought, go ahead. Walk away. As a matter of fact, I implore you do so. It's not as though you'll be worth much of anything without your Wonderful Whatevers.
(Keep it together, Will...)
...You're NOT going to be getting a rise out of me. I'm done. And I have more important things to attend to than waste my time with a meaningless fight.
Meaningless....?

Wonder-Red hops off the ring and starts walking away. The boos get louder.

Bummer.

---

---

The number of Sus King remaining has been far reduced to the likes of Yoshles, Pac-Man, and Game & Watch.

(I'm still kinda getting used to this... But even then, it's obvious what's going to happen if you don't surrender and tell us who you are.)

...Hmmh. No room for amusement, is there? Oh, well.

As the rest of the duplicates fade, the remaining Quake King shifts his shape, turning into...

...I suppose this is where you all try to goad me into answering your questions.
Is... that a talking gemstone?
*ROAR* (What, you're taken aback? By this?)
Good point.

Red instinctively raises his fist, but stops just inches short from attack the figure that popped up from behind him.

Settle down. And that is far from what I meant.
Then what is it you mean?
Simply, that, you have one new opponent in the form of moi.
Who says I have to fight? If I remember, battles occur from both the coin holders' free will.
That may be true... but take a look at the crowd.

Wonder-Red turns to them.

You have them excited. More people are going to bet on you because they take pride in you. Are you really going to give them up and let them down?
I missed the part where that's my problem.

Wonder-Red begins to walk away. Booing noises begin to make themselves known from the crowd. The figure does a 'I'm-richer-than-thou'-type laugh.

Yes, yes... ...And I suppose I missed the part where you had a spine.

Wonder-Red stops cold in his tracks.

...

BROOOOOO HOW DID I MESS THAT UUUUUUUUUUUP

---

Her behavior's been quite unusual, by boogity. Though I believe it's something that'd easier to understand if you all see for yourself.
As a matter of fact, she's likely in her room right now! You can come say hi to her!

Toadbert begins to escort them to Peach's room.

---

...

Wonder-Red helps Black up.

Doesn't mean I can't commend a job well done, though.
Ladies and gentlemen, it looks like our winner is Wonder-Red! A great match put up courtesy of our fighters! And it seems like the action isn't going to stop!
Huh?
I believe what he's trying to say is that you're not out of the woods just yet.

Wonder-Red begins to walk up to the downed Black Bravo.

..Hnh. If half-decent still qualifies as decent, then I'd say you made an alright warm-up.... That is, if your bag of tricks hadn't all been used up. I'm sure there are some who would've had trouble facing you...
...But I'M cut from a different cloth. So tough luck, but your gimmicks won't be tripping me up so easy. You should just give up before you end up getting hurt.

Black hears a feint yet familiar voice behind him

Eyes over here!

As Black turn around to meet the whereabouts of his voice, however, he is met with a powerful kick to the stomach, followed up with a Wonder-Rising!

---

Wonder-Rising (Varies/Impact)- The user uses their Unite Morph to unleash a rising uppercut on the target. If no Unite Morph is available, the user just uses a regular uppercut.

Mario! Green Mario! It's been too long, by boogity! And I see you've brought some new friends!
To tell you the truth, it's pretty convenient that you four are here. To tell you the truth...Her majesty has been acting sort of... odd.

---

Taken off guard by the punch, Wonder-Red jumps back.

A duplicate? A little trite if you ask me. Not that it'll make a difference once you do the math...

Wonder-Red leaps into the air, with a subatomic construct beginning to form around his hand!

...Because two times zero will always equal zero! Unite! HAND!

Wonder-Red's right Vulcan Knuckle ends up surrounded by a large hand, which he uses to punch the ring beneath him, creating an earthquake!

♫ DBFZ - Perfect Cell's theme ♫

---

Unite Morph (Laser/Varies)- The user uses their power to materialize objects by combining their objects, which require the digital data within the CENTINEL Suits. The more teammates they have inside of their Unite Morph, the larger and more powerful it becomes.

Wonder-Red skids along the ring floor, landing onto his feet.

Good. Because if stretching your body's the best you can do, you might as well have been better of throwing in the towel.

He gives Black Bravo a beckoning gesture.

Now, then... what are you waiting for? Show me something worthwhile.

(He's using the momentum of my attacks against me!)
In that case...

Rather than attempt to block or dodge, Wonder-Red extends his right arm as it begins to glow, but...

...Not yet.

Changing his mind, Wonder-Red uses his arms to instead block the incoming headbutt at the last second!

---

---

Anticipating this, Wonder-Red jumps on the stretched legs, dashing at Black Bravo with a kick aimed directly towards his face!

---

Hmnh!

Wonder-Red dodges the attack by sidestepping to the right, pausing thereafter.

(He can elongate his arms and stretch them in any cardinal direction he chooses. It's safe to bet he can do the same with his legs as well.)

Wonder-Red clashes his fists together before pointing the palm of his hands at Black Bravo's direction, charging something up!

VULCAN INFERNO!

Wonder-Red's gloves begin to glow before releasing a torrent of fireballs in Black Bravo's direction!

---

Vulcan Inferno (Flame)- Using his Vulcan Knuckles, Wonder-Red unloads a volley of rapid fireballs in the target's direction. Resists Immunities or Affinities.
Vulcan Knuckles (Typeless)- Wonder-Red's signature weapon. They are capable of powerful blows with machine-like accuracy, further enhanced via Unite Morph.

.....Same here... Don't expect me to pull any of my punches.

I said, GIMME THE DAMN MIC!...... *sigh...* things just haven't been the same without Commando.
......After a bout gone haywire, it looks like two new competitors have finally entered! Black Bravoman vs Wonder-Red! Get ready to place some bets, folks!

The crowd seems to snap out of it's innate silence.

...

My business here should qualify as none of your concern. YOURS, on the other hand...
If not me, you would've attacked a completely innocent bystander. Call it what you want, but I'm not so keen on letting someone who has no qualms with assaulting random passersby go.

The stranger pulls out a Duel Coin.

It's clear you're nothing but a potential danger to everyone around you. Surrender, or I'll be forced use other means.

---

As the quartet look around, they find Peach with little avail from room-to-room.

On their search, however, they hear a familiar (to half of them) voice from behind.

Oh, thank goodness you all are here! I thought you never would have arrived!
