Gumble Ze Goomba's Story

"Nrrghh....!!" Leilanie is shaking hard.

"I don't know... those kids seem too real." Sarina looks worried.

"JUST DO IT! MAKE THEM PAY FOR MURDERING MY... ...friend..."

"Forget that! I got just a thing! A little sewing wouldn't hurt." Kremlouie takes a spool and needle out, and some bandage wraps too, "Since the others won't help me out, I guess I'll have to take care of this alone."

"Fine then, take the alligator's help," said Thurston. "You won't get any of mine if you ever want Alexander von Koopa alive again."

"Wait... Stop right there..." He catches what Mr. Thurston is saying, "You can bring him back?"

"I said no such thing," said Thurston. "Don't be ridiculous. What I said was that if you take the alligator's help you won't get any of mine, IF you want Alex alive again, which I'm assuming you do because you're whiny selfish bitches."

"...." Karasz groaned and shrugged, "Okay, fine. If we want Alex to come back, then what do you want in return?"

"No," said Thurston. "He's not coming back, ESPECIALLY if you ignore my advice to go make those kids pay!"

"Alright, fine. We'll teach those kids a lesson!!" Toniyo groaned, "Maybe rough'em up a little and show them what they have done wrong."

"Goodie!" said Thurston. "Have fun!"

Thurston vanishes.

Red quickly slapped a hand onto Toniyo's shoulder. "I'd...reconsider the 'roughing up' plan. Finding out HOW and WHY they did it would be a better start..."

"Go on without me. I'll meet you guys... where are you... just..." Leilanie coughs.

"Hold still please!" Kremlouie is stitching up Leilanie's belly. "Squirming will make it worse!"

"I think I know where they are..." Sarina tells her brothers to follow her, "This way." and she head towards the orphanage with her brothers following.

Red follows. "Hang in there, okay?" she said to Leilanie before proceeding.

Kremlouie then brings Leilanie to the Noname Gang's house where Leilanie is recovering from her wounds. Then Kremlouie sternly looks at his friends.

"Disappoint, SAYS I!" Kremlouie spoke, "You didn't help the girl, so I took the liberty of healing her from her death."

"What are you talking about? You don't even know her." Crunch pumped his muscles, "Also, I don't think she's that important."

"Not to you, but to Mr. Zaritoni out there."

Crunch heard that Karasz was there and dropped the dumbells on Gumble's feet, who screamed like a banshee.

"WHAT?!!!" Crunch yelled, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE WAS HERE?! I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM SINCE FOREVER!!"

Meanwhile, Red was in front of Alex's house's ruins. Presumably, Karasz and the others are here, too.

"Urf..." Leilanie wakes up and notices her belly is stitched thanks to Kremlouie. "Urgh... Thanks." She replied.

"Oh, it was nothing." Kremlouie replied, "But you should be careful. Cyborg devils are wicked crazy!"

"Arggh... don't remind me... Thurston is lucky that I can't break his face..."

Meanwhile, the Zaritonis return to he residential part of Solum and upon arriving at Alex's house, Hana gulped nervously. Koseki starts twitching in shock.

"THAT.... WAS....." Koseki said.

"Shocking?" Toniyo finished a sentence for Koseki.

"..." Koseki looks at Toniyo, "Yeah, thanks."

"Now do you see what you kids did?" Karasz showed them the house, "Not only you have to get him out of Hellborne, but you also have to rebuild his house."

"Don't worry, Hana can make a giant mushroom appear for Alex. No problem!"

"...Uhh-- NO?" Karasz replied, "Not a good idea."

Meanwhile, Leilanie is all better and walks out of the Noname Gang's house. And of course, the Noname Gang follows her. And boy, Leilanie is so stern at the two kids.

"You kids are in serious--" ....But she couldn't beat them up because she notices that Koseki and Hana want to fix what they did wrong. "....Okay, I know what you're thinking. You want to fix everything because it was an accident, right?"

"Yeah." Hana replied.

"Well, Hellborne is not a very good place to visit because he-who-shall-not-be-named is there torturing Alex right about now. There will be options to work with... We can offer a trade, beat Satan up, or break Alex free. What do you think?"

"The trade is sounding like the best option to strive for," Red responded. "Who knows if he'd want to come back, even to see a brand new mushroom house - " She then noticed the Noname Gang. "Oh. What do you go by?"

"Uhh...." Hazel-Naut scratched his head, "His neighbors?"

"Oh, these are the guys who stitched my stomach together." Leilanie explained, then Kremlouie cleared his throat, "Actually, he stitched my stomach together."

Karasz looks at the Noname Gang. Then he recognized... most of them. "Crunch? Hazel-Naut? Gumble?.... err.. Alligator guy? What are you four doing here?"

"You know them?" Leilanie asked.

"Of course he knows us," Crunch replied, "We've known each other for years. Whatever you guys are talking about sounds like you guys are up for another adventure."

"Well, yeah!" Karasz shrugged, "What did you expect?"

"Twilight." Gumble spoke, much to disagreement with his friends.

"WHAT?!" Kremlouie screamed, "That's a terrible movie!"

"He he he. Just kidding...." Gumble was joking with his friends, but... "Scary Movie Franchise."

"DUDE! NO!!!" Crunch screamed, "NOT COOL!!"

"What is wrong with you?!" Hazel yelled, "Do you really like those terrible movies?!"

"Out of the club, buck-o." Kremlouie groaned.

"Are you guys done?" Leilanie asked because she did not have time for this.

"Right! So...en route to Hellborne?" Red said.

"Hell yeah!" Karasz chuckled, "Well, no pun intended."

"I didn't think that pun was hot." Kremlouie commented.

"Oh, I hope our mentor will forgive me this time..." Hana thought to herself, "I want to make it up to him..."

Their rescue mission starts. Karasz, Sarina and Toniyo head off to Hellborne with the Noname Gang following in. Koseki pats Hana shoulder and makes sure that everything will be okay. Hana slowly nods and joins Koseki as the two follow the rescue team to Hellborne Valley.

At the starting point of the valley, the Zaritoni Siblings, Leilanie, the Children of the Weather, and the Noname Gang arrive at the entrance of the valley. They are hoping to look for Alex in Hellborne, and they assume that Satan is more of the "soul dealer". For Koseki and Hana, they are willing to undo what they have done and set things right for themselves.

"Man, I can't believe it. We haven't done this for a long time." Crunch spoke to Karasz, "I can think of good times we have in the past, don't you agree?"

"Umm... sort of." Karasz shrugged.

"Are you okay?" Koseki asked Hana who sweated a little, "You don't look so good..."

"Sorry... It's just that this place...." Hana panted as well, "It's too hot."

"THAT'S EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!!!" Hazel screamed who was on fire, "OH GOD, WHO SAID COMING HERE WAS A GOOD IDEA?!!"

"He he he he~ You go burn burn burn." Gumble chuckled.

"WHERE'S THE WATER?!!"

Sarina sighed and uses her ice powers to create an ice chunk above Hazel, which melts and douse the flames.

"Thank you." Hazel sighed.

Red, of course, tagged along. "Don't get too optimistic. We'll have to bring our A-game in negotiations if we're going to take one of their prisoners, you know. While I was taught to avoid deals with the devil, I'll have to suck it up this one time..."
