Night Horror

Chapter 16

Finally getting to the roof, Mario had powered up his Firebrand. He was Supernova hot again. Mr. L had activated his Thunderhand. Mike was behind them as they looked around. The roof was oddly empty. No one was around. Mike felt his blood running cold.

Where was she?

Before any of the boys could say anything, a bolt of purple lightning caught their attention. They looked and saw a girl. She was about the twins age. She was wearing a rather tight white dress that showed every curve she had. She had a white choker on her neck. She had white lacy gloves on. She had white high heels on. She had shoulder length white hair with purple highlights in it. She had gray eyes.

Mr. L couldn't explain it but he felt an air of familiarity.

The girl demanded, "Who are you?!"

Mike stated, "We could ask you the same thing."

The girl shot Mike a look. "My name is Mia. And I will not let you go no further!"

Mia snapped her fingers as it started to ran purple lightning. Mario, Mr. L, and Mike all dodged. Mia jumped up high and threw mines at them. The boys managed to dodge them the explosions but just barely. Mike tried to flash Mia with the Stroboscope but she wasn't affected by it. He then tried the Poltergest but nothing happened. Mia kicked him away from her. Mike landed on his butt. Mario and Mr. L got to his side. They helped him up.

Mario groaned, "Oh man... who is this girl?"

Mr. L mumbled, "She seems so familiar to me..."

Mike stated, "Familiar or not she doesn't seem affected by the Stroboscope or the Poltergest. You think she's human?"

Mario reasoned, "It is the only thing I can think of."

Mr. L warned, "Incoming!"

Mike looked up as they saw mines coming down. The boys barely dodged the blast as Mr. L shielded them with his Thunderhand.

Mike told him, "Thanks..."

Mario reasoned, "Well if she is human maybe we can fight her hand-to-hand."

Mr. L stated, "That's not a bad idea."

Mario jumped out as Mia landed on the ground. Since already Supernova hot, his punches were like fire punches. Mia dodged them, fighting quickly. She kept ahead of him. She fought him and gave him a right hook. Mario rubbed his cheek. She was human alright.

Mario cartwheeled forward, adding in some fire kicks as well. Mia dodged them, blocking them with her arms and legs. Mario couldn't but start to feel deja vue.

Could it be?

Before he could pursue that thought, Mia had grabbed his foot. She tossed him like a rag doll. Mario crashed into a wall. Mike ran over to him while Mr. L started to fight Mia.

"Mario, are you alright?" He asked the man in red.

Mario shook his head and answered, "I can't explain it. But she fights just like Violet does. And Mia is giving me the same vibe Mr. L did when we first came across him..."

Mike perked up. Well that explained Mr. L. He was Luigi. He looked at Mia. While he didn't sense the same thing Mario did about Mia, he could sense the deja vue around her. Mike took out the VB and tried to call Elvin. There was no answer at the lab.

Mike groaned, "We're on our own. If that is the collar that Elvin was researching; we need to tell Mia, uh, Violet the fond or happy memories we have with her."

Mario frowned. While he and Violet were good friends, he wasn't sure that he had any fond or happy memories with her.

Mario started to say, "Well this one time where we were about to..."
