Super Paper Mario with Lianna the Bunny!

Chapter 11: Meanwhile with the minions...

Meanwhile at Castle Bleck, only O'Chunks and Nastasia happened to be in the meeting room...

"Raise yer chunks in the air, as the most debonair man o' men strides into the room!" O'Chunks sang. "Springin' forth from 'is lair as 'is foes all despair, for Bleck be the name o' their doom! Whooa-OH! That's our Bleck! Blecky, Bleckity DOOOO! Yeh, uh, somethin' Bleck... That's the guy who says... Woo?" O'Chunks sang out loud.

“Gosh, O’Chunks, QUIT IT! You’re breaking windows! What are you yelling about?!” Mimi snapped at O’Chunks. “Oh that? Yeah, I just had O’Chunks come up with a nice motivational tune. And as punishment for getting beat by that hero AGAIN, I’m making him sing that 1,000 times.” Nastasia replied.

“1,000... 1,000 TIMES?! Gosh, you’re even more evil than I thought!” Mimi cried out. “Hey, but enough chatting! So where’s the Count, huh? I wanna see him! He hasn't called me to go do anything, and I’m getting SOOOOOO BORED!” Mimi cried out.

“HEY, COUNT?” A voice called, Ms.L jumped down. “My destructive little friend is all gassed up and itching to get back into action. Yes, Bunnybot is begging me to take her out. Say the word, and I'll roll out!” She called.

“Yeah, great enthusiasm, but let’s shelve the robot action plan for now, ‘K? The thing is, the Count kinda left specific orders for us to stand by. Got that?” Nastasia asked. “No way! We’re just supposed to wait here for that big, mean hero to come get us?” Mimi asked.

“So the Count doesn't need my service? Excellent, I'll just be off then.” Ms.L said. “YOU GO NOWHERE! We wait! It’s the count’s direct order! His word is absolute! Be a good little minion and DO NOT MOVE UNTIL TOLD! ...’K? Thanks.” Nastasia said, taking off.

“But I’m BORRREED!!!” Mimi wailed. “And Bunnybot needs her daily SMASH! I can’t just loiter here! There’s no action!” Ms.L whined too. “And my birthday’s tomorrow!!!” Mimi cried out. “Oh! Happy early birthday, Mimi!” Ms.L said happily.

A/N: This was made May 4th 2019, this was the day before Mimi's birthday.

"Ah ha ha. Hard to stay still when you pine for sweet vengeance, isn't it?" A voice asked, Dimentio appeared. "The count's orders are all absolute... completely without exception, yes? We shouldn't even dare to think about a secret sneak attack. Perish the thought! Defeating the heroes would please the count greatly... but we MUST follow orders! Happy birthday by the way." Dimentio said.

“Dimentio! At least you’re here, the only one here who actually likes me...” Ms.L said. “I HEARD THAT!” Mimi shouted. “And thank you Dimentio!” Mimi said sweetly.

"What can I say? I know what I like." Dimentio replied. “......Oopsie! I just remembered something real important that I gotta do! Be back in a jiffy! Bye!” Mimi called out. “Yeeaahhh... Yeah. I've uh... got to go deflavorize the Bunnybot’s flavorizer... I'll return when everything’s up to code. L-ater Dimentio!” Ms.L bid farewell and left.

"Ah ha ha. My, my, isn't that something? I do believe I should be moving on as well." He said, Dimentio warped away.

"Look, Timpani. The stars are beautiful, aren't they?"

".... There's a tradition in my village. We believe that wishes on stars come true."

"Oh, is that so? In that case we'd better get wishing, don't you think?"

"I don't need to wish anymore."

"Mmm?"

"I already got my wish. Now... I have everything I need right here."

"Timpani... Aren't you cold?"

"Not at all. I'm very warm.... Can we stay like this? Just a little longer?"

The heroes have finally exited out of the sky blue door. Tippi seemed distracted by something. “Tippi... Tippi...” A voice called. "What’s the matter, Tippi? You seemed a little out of it there...” Peach said to Tippi. "Huh? Wait, didn't you hear something?" Tippi asked.

Mario and Peach shook their heads. Bowser and Luigi shook their heads. "No? Alright then. It's just that... For a second, I thought I remembered something very important..." Tippi said. The ground rumbles and they flailed their arms around. “BOWSER’S ARMS!” Mario called out happily.

Bowser burnt the sprout on Mario's head with his breath. "Next time it'll be your face!" He shouted. Mario gasped and looked at the now burnt Floro Sprout. “What good does this sprout have now?!” He asked. "Not my problem!" Bowser gritted his teeth.

Mario sighed and took off the sprout. Peach took off her sprout too. Bowser threw his sprout down. Luigi took his off. "Should we go seek out Merlon?" Peach asked. "Yes, we should." Tippi replied.

They headed down the elevator and meet up with Merlon. "Oh ho, you're back... Have you seen the sky lately? The void continues to grow larger. I imagine that some worlds have already started to decay. I wonder how long our dear Flipside will be spared?" Merlon asked in worry. "I don't know... Hopefully long enough before all worlds perish... " Mario said.

"While I remember, I received a message from Nolrem recently... It seems there is a Heart Pillar located on the outskirts of Flopside. As you're no doubt seeking the next Heart Pillar, that is a good place to start. I will go back to the Light Prognosticus to look for clues." Merlon said and goes back inside.

Mario and the others headed over to Flopside. They placed the heart into the pillar, and a blue door appeared.

“At the duel of the hundred, the hero will meet with dark powers of purest chaos. If you fall to the Hundred, the chaos world grows and the purity heart fades... And so that happens, the hero will fall into the world where all games have ended.” A voice spoke out loud. Nolrem appeared.

“That is a section of the Light Prognosticus that I just deciphered. It seems to suggest that if you fail to pass these duels, all worlds will be ruined... and apparently, your lives would be lost along with the Purity Heart. I know that what I have just shared with you might only serve to discourage you... I still send you forth, however, it saddens me that I can do nothing else.” Nolrem replied.

With that, they returned to Flipside, proceeding to the blue door.
