The Order of the Slice

Chapter 16

Luigi forced his eyes open as he began to regain consciousness. Where am I? He thought groggily. He couldn't remember what happened to him. He only remembered being stuck in that cell next to Cheryl's. Luigi looked around. He seemed to be tied to a chair. How odd. He could barely see anything, the only thing he could make out was maybe a statue. A very amused statue. There was a sudden bump and Luigi and his chair fell to the floor. Was he in a truck? He grunted as he tried to pick himself back up. Luigi gave up and sighed. He was glad he was alone, wherever he was. But then he heard a stifled chuckle. Luigi tried not to yelp. He was not alone.

"H-hello?" He called. Swallowing his fear. "I-uh-know you're here!" Their quiet, and somehow also blatant mockery had made that clear. "Wha-what's happening?"

"Revenge." The voice said flatly. As if they thought that it was obvious. Luigi recognized their voice.

"B-Ben?"

While Ben face was concealed by the darkness, Luigi could hear a low growl.

"It's Pineapple." Ben grumbled. Luigi ignored him.

"Wh-what do you mean?" Luigi asked. "What kind of revenge?"

Ben was silent for a moment. "I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you." He said honestly. Luigi started to shake with fear. His mind immediately started conjuring all of the worst possible revenge plans. Growing more and more fearful with each horrifying thought. He had to get out of here. Suddenly, the truck came to a halt. "Ah," Ben said. A crooked smile stretched across his monstrous face. "We're here!" The trucks door opened. Luigi had squint, it had been quite a while since he had seen the sun. Someone was standing right in front of the trucks opening.

"Is he awake?"

Luigi flinched at the sound. Sausage. Ben and Sausage hauled Luigi out of the truck. Luigi didn't bother trying to wrench from their grip, he was still rather terrified. He didn't know what was going to happen to him, and it was mind-numbingly scary. They lifted him up and carried out of the truck.

"Wh-where are you taking me?" Luigi stuttered. It looked like they were in a park. Children were chasing each other and rolling around in the grass, while young couples ate homemade food on picnic blankets. None of them seemed to notice the man tied to a chair, being carried by cloaked figures. Luigi tried to yell, but Ben slapped a meaty hand against his mouth.

"Shhhhh," Ben warned. "I could be a lot meaner."

Luigi yelped as Ben started to wobble the chair. "Don't drop me," Luigi whispered. "I-I'm sorry!"

Ben wobbled the chair a little more, Luigi assumed it was because Ben enjoyed seeing him suffer. Sausage scoffed. "You're both pathetic."

Ben stopped wobbling the chair. Luigi sighed out of relief. Sausage scoffed a second time. They carried Luigi all the way to the secluded part of the park. Luigi saw Barry working on a... Luigi sucked in startled breath. The Pizza Rocket. They were going to tie him to the Pizza Rocket. "H-how did you get a rocket?!" Luigi screamed.

"Cauliflower made it," Sausage explained. "You knows he's a rocket scientist right?"

"Oh," Luigi did not know that. Barry smiled as Ben and Sausage brought Luigi closer.

"Like my rocket?" Barry asked. "I know it's not perfect, but you have to admit it is pretty good!"

Luigi stared at Barry's terrifying creation. Barry chuckled. "It's kind of ironic isn't it?" He asked. Luigi looked at him blankly. "Since I used to be you're prisoner," Barry explained. "But now you're mine!" He started to laugh again. "This is going to be great!"
