Outcasts in the mushroom kingdom

plack beach

KB'S POV

I woke up in Cavi Cape again. Thanks to my superb memory skills, I was able to make my way through to Plack Beach.

'This would be a nice place to bring Blaize' I thought to myself stepping on to the warm sun soaked sand.

I shook my head at the thought. This was no time to fantasize such ridiculous things.

I walked further through the sand covered terrain. Eventually I ran into that annoying French Blitty collector.

"Ah, bonjour Monsieur Turtlebits! It is so nice to see jou again"

"Yeah...charming. Have you seen a chuckling weirdo with a dumb pig run through here with a girl?"

"Non I've not seen the pesky piggy not the 'weirdo' you speak of"

"Dammit where could they be!?" I yelled slamming my fist into a tree.

"Monsieur, I have seen a young mademoiselle pass by my shop in the woods"

"You did?! What did she look like?"

"The fair Dame had very long ash colored hair and fierce Ruby eyes. She wore golden jewelry upon her crown and wrist"

"Blaize! Is she alright?"

"Oui, I gave her a change of clothes and left her with Broggy and the Blitties. She was quite worried about her friend and wanted to find him soon"

"Thank God, she's alright" I sighed relieved.

"Monsieur, if jou would be so kind as to help me, I would be happy to take you to the shop via shortcut"

"Alright, what do you need?"

"I need to gather food for the shop's stock and for Madam Blaize, Broggy, and I to eat"

With a gruff nod, I gathered a bunch of fruits and vegetables as well as fish and loaded them on to the cart and pulled them along as I followed the block collector to this chakra ball.

"And away we go to the shop" he said tapping the ball.

A flash of light whisked us away. When the light vanished, we were in a small clearing a little ways away from the shop.

A voice I missed dearly rang through the air.

"Hello, is someone there? Broque Monsieur, is that you?"

"Oui oui Madam, I have returned and I've also brought a friend along with me"

I stepped into her view and my jaw  nearly dropped. I played it cool though it was tough with the way she looked.

Her long hair was tied into a high ponytail with her circlet placed perfectly. A corset styled top that hugged her in all the right places. Short shorts, they showed off her slender toned legs. The jacket, spiked accessories and studded boots added flare and attitude to her wardrobe.

"BOWSER! I'm so glad you're okay!" She lunged at me giving me a hug.

"Blaize, are you alright? Did they hurt you?"

"I'm....okay......Are you hurt? Midbus thrashed at you pretty harshly" she looked me over. She only found minor cuts, scrapes and bruises though.

"You hesitated. What. Did. He. Do?"

"Promise, you'll be calm until we see them"

"I promise that I'll try" I said clenching my fist.

She slid the jacket down off her shoulder and revealed a bite mark that was deep enough to bleed but not enough to require stitches.

I gently ran my thumb across the wound.

"How did this happen?" I said as calmly as I could.

"Midbus threw a grappling chomp at me when I escaped. I was able to break it off with the help of a snuffit"

"Snuffit eh? Remind me to promote those guys when this is all over. When I see that fat ass hog, he's dead"

"Please be careful, I don't want you getting hurt"

"Don't you worry princess, I've got the upper hand now" I smirked.

Her face burned a bright pink as my large hand gently took hold of her small dainty one.

"Oui, indeed Monsieur. I have the items jou need here. Take these for both of jou as well as this whistle for the sweet mademoiselle"

"What's the whistle for?" She asked dangling the little instrument in her hand from it's lanyard.

"Zhis is a caller. When you blow it, Broggy will come to your aid no matter where you are"

"Thank you Broque Monsieur"

Just as she went to slip the lanyard around her neck, a Blitty pounced and knocked the whistle away.

"Oh Mon dieu! je suis vraiment désolé! (Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry!)" Broque Monsieur shouted as he helped Blaize up and dusted her off.

"bad Blitty, naughty Blitty. You should be ashamed of yourself​ for knocking the Petit chérie over like zhat"

The Blitty merely carried the instrument back to the shop's counter.

The Blitty then strutted over and nuzzled Blaize's hand while giving her the big sad eyes.

"Aww it's okay StarButton, I forgive you" she pet the Blitty lovingly.

"StarButton? That's her name?" I half chuckled.

"I agree, what a strange name for a Blitty" Broque Monsieur added.

Blaize puffed out her cheeks as StarButton perched on her shoulder.

The Blitty was smoky grey with black patches. Her muzzle, chest, stomach, and paws were white. On her back was a pattern that resembled a star shaped button. The Blitty's eyes were a piercing frosted amber color.

"Oh hon hon! I see now. This is a very rare Cosmic Blitty! It seems she has formed a bond with the princess and is now her guardian familiar"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up. Familiar? Bond? Cosmic Blitty? Please explain chatter box now!" I said trying to catch up.

"Bowser, calm down. StarButton is a special Blitty much like the Luma's. They grant special powers to one individual of their choice. I happen to be the one StarButton wished to bless with her abilities" Blaize explained.

"Alright then, we need to get going" I said.

StarButton reached her paw out and touched Blaize's magic cuff and disapated into stardust.

"I now bestow my blessings upon you princess, use it wisely for it is the only blessing I can give" said a voice.

"Zhe Blitty can only give her blessings once before her life is no more. Be grateful for her privileged gift"

Blaize nodded as she took my hand.

"Trust me, I am more than grateful, for I was given something I do not deserve"

With that we left.
