The fox had tried to be a smart-ass. Wario simply returned, [color=92278f][b]“They weren’t yours to keep. In fact, they were Mario’s things, and I don’t recall the red bastard ever writin’ a will. So to me that meant they were free game. Well…”[/b][/color] He grinned as he started to twirl his mustache. [color=92278f][b]“They weren’t free. They made me rich.”[/b][/color] Wario then leaned off the table and shrugged his shoulders carelessly at Fox’s accusations. [color=92278f][b]“Eh, discrimination. So my personality’s different.”[/b][/color] [color=92278f][b]“There isn’t anythin’ to negotiate. I don’t think you quite understand the situation. Seein’ as you’re nothin’ but a dumb animal, I’ll say it again. You guys either let me join or I’m blowin’ the block. I’ll help you get Mario’s things back, but only if you let me join your little hero club. You should be beggin’ me to join. This is a once and lifetime deal. The legendary Wario braves Dream Land to help save his nemesis Mario. The publicity’s gonna be big.”[/b][/color] Waluigi rose off of the table and rubbed his hands together greedily. [color=bc8dbf][b]“You’ll make even more money, wah!”[/b][/color] [color=green][b]Alright. I’ll make a deal with the two of you.[/b][/color] Wario crossed his muscular arms before his moobs as he listened to Luigi. As soon as Luigi finished, Wario arched a brow. Nobody had been listening to him and it irritated him. [color=92278f][b]“For bein’ heroes…you guys aren’t the sharpest bulbs in the shed box.”[/b][/color] Waluigi gave Wario a wide-eyed, tight-lipped look as though he had wanted to say something…maybe correct him. The two brothers made eye-contact and Waluigi just looked away off to a corner of the ceiling. [color=92278f][b]“I’ve been sayin’ this. I’m not sayin’ it again. I don’t speak any other languages for you chumps to understand.”[/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b]“Chumps, wah,”[/b][/color] Waluigi echoed with a grin. As Frisk ran a CHECK on Wario, they would immediately notice an anomaly. Expecting a heart as it would be in the Undertale verse, within Wario was not a heart but a gold coin similar to the ones found throughout the Mario universe. As they would continue to watch, a tiny version of Wario went marching over to the gold coin and snatched it before holding it up and laughing in a chipmunk voice, [color=92278f][b]“WA HA HA HA HAA~!”[/b][/color] Pocketing the coin, the little Wario brought his hands to the sides of his face and blew a raspberry at Frisk. Wario had been an anomaly because he was a greedy cheater at heart. Unlike Mario, Wario was immortal, and therefore, probably didn’t even have a real soul. Wario immediately suspected something odd was happening and glared over at Frisk. [color=92278f][b]“HEY!”[/b][/color] he angrily roared, slapping his hands upon the table only to finally cause it to break. The Koopa’s shell tumbled into the middle as the table split down its center. Wario struck the floor again with another restaurant quaking thump, his big, hairy ass in the air as he flailed and kicked his arms, practically drowning in his own flab. Waluigi quickly ran over to push him onto his side as Wario rolled onto his back, gasping in relief. He looked like a bloated puffer fish. [color=92278f][b]“I almost died,”[/b][/color] Wario muttered miserably—not like he could. The doors behind the heroes were thrust open as the Army-green clad Guile barged into the restaurant. Grasping the leg of his shades, he removed them and his blue eyes swept over every hero and villain in the restaurant. He had received Fox’s call, and he hadn’t been the only one to arrive. With her skirts gripped in her hands, Rosalina marched in with a big scowl on her doe-like face. Her three Lumas floated into the restaurant behind her, matching her frown. [color=00aeef][b]“Wario!”[/b][/color] she angrily exclaimed. Waluigi paused as he was trying to help Wario sit up. The two brothers peered wide-eyed over their shoulders at the light-blue Nintendo goddess that was marching over to them. Waluigi gasped and quickly released Wario to dart under one half of the broken table. The back of Wario’s head knocked against the floor as he flopped back onto his back. [color=92278f][b]“Hey! Coward!”[/b][/color] he growled. Rosalina stepped over to the fat man and peered down at him with a wrinkled nose of disgust. [color=00aeef][b]“You give back Mario’s remains right now!”[/b][/color] [color=92278f][b]“I don’t-!”[/b][/color] The goddess suddenly imprisoned Wario in a tight bubble. The villain was completely sealed inside a snug sphere and floating off the ground. He looked like a limbless blob floating before her. Rosalina then kicked the bubble, sending it soaring like a ball into the restaurant wall. It ricocheted off to rebound in multiple directions smacking and slamming into the floor, ceiling, and walls before it struck the floor a final time to pop and send the villain rolling. [color=92278f][b]“Waaah!”[/b][/color] Wario cried as he went rolling into a wall that surprisingly didn’t give out on collision. Plaster cracked about him as dust rose in a white plume about him, causing him to cough. Rosalina didn’t seem finished as she marched toward him again, this time drawing her wand. Wario gazed at the woman in fear, raising his arms to hide his face. She was about to assault him with another one of her spells until Guile grabbed her hand that was clutching the wand and told her: [color=00a651][b]“Hold on a second.”[/b][/color] Rosalina scowled up at Guile and huffed. Guile released her hand and strode over to stand before Wario with his hands on his hips. [color=39b54a][b]“I heard you had some demands. Allow me to represent The Council. We’re listening…”[/b][/color] Meanwhile, in the back kitchen, the little woman was standing on a wooden stool before a steaming pot. She held the lid in one hand and the spoon in her other. Whatever she was cooking hadn’t smelled as pleasant as her other dishes. [color=82ca9d][b]Hey there Miss…Mama?[/b][/color] Mama paused and peered over her shoulder to see a fish girl. For a second she thought that one of the fish had escaped the aquarium, but then she realized that obviously hadn’t been the case. She smiled as the fish girl introduced herself as Naija. She told her about how they weren’t related to her customers in the other room. [color=82ca9d][b]Can I come in and help you?[/b][/color] Mama beamed. [color=ec008c][b]“Of course you can!”[/b][/color] [color=f7941d][b]I’m with her.[/b][/color] came the voice of another volunteer. [color=f7941d][b]What would you like us to do?[/b][/color] A purple tentacle reached out of the pot as two yellow eyes appeared, peeking from within the boiling broth. The creature she was cooking with its tubular mouth, appeared to be an Octo that startled Mama by spitting a rock against the wall. Mama quickly whirled around to slap the creature’s tentacle with her spoon and poke it back down into the pot. Closing the lid, she quickly flipped the clamps on it before she climbed down the stool. Compared to the heights of Naija and Samus, Mama was a 4’5” dwarf. [color=ec008c][b]“I think I know what I’ve been doing wrong. I’ve been making delicious dishes. If I really want to make things difficult, then I need to cook something absolutely disgusting!”[/b][/color] she explained. [color=ec008c][b]“We’re going to cook Octopus soup. Whatever ingredients you two want to add will be of your choosing! I appreciate your help!”[/b][/color] Mama dropped her fist into her palm and smirked in determination. [color=ec008c][b]“I’ll be surprised if my customer can swallow this one!”[/b][/color] The little woman thrust out her arms and waved them about her kitchen. [color=ec008c][b]“Feel free to use my kitchen! Just bring whatever you make or find over to the pot!”[/b][/color] [center][img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/dHRmLjQ4LmZkM2E4NC5RMjl2YXlCUFptWWguMAAA/nonstop.regular.png[/img][/center] Wario had explained his demands again for Guile. The street fighter closed his eyes, crossed his arms before his chest, and nodded. [color=39b54a][b]“So let me get this straight…you sold Mario’s hat and soul to King Deedee for gold. King Deedee sent the cat burglar to take what he bought back to Dream Land. You have since been stuffing your face here at Mama’s, planning to set off a bomb that would level this entire block in the case we figured out it was you and refused to comply with your demands. And you want to join our hero organization to get Mario’s hat and soul back from King Deedee for the sake of glory…”[/b][/color] [color=bc8dbf][b]“And publicity, wah!”[/b][/color] Waluigi added. [color=39b54a][b]“And publicity. Did I understand everything right?”[/b][/color] Guile asked, opening his eyes. Wario who was rocking back and forth, posting his hands behind him and trying to push himself upwards huffed and puffed, [color=92278f][b]“That’s right!”[/b][/color] Guile uncrossed his arms and nonchalantly said, [color=39b54a][b]“Fine. You can join,”[/b][/color] to Rosalina’s shock. [color=00aeef][b]“GUILE!?”[/b][/color] Rosalina exclaimed, staring at the fighter as though he had lost his mind. Wario roared with victorious laughter and yelled over at Fox and Luigi, [color=92278f][b]“WAHA HA HA HA! SMELL IT LOSERS! WARIO IS APART OF THE TEAM!”[/b][/color] Waluigi crept over to Guile and removed his hat. He looked at the man pathetically. [color=bc8dbf][b]“What about me, wah?”[/b][/color] Guile smiled proudly and nodded. [color=39b54a][b]“You can join too.”[/b][/color] Waluigi leaped for joy. He returned his hat to his head and grinned over at Fox and Luigi. The two brothers were noisy with celebration. Waluigi was dancing as he did back in the Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix years. Guile walked over to Rosalina still wearing a smile. [color=00aeef][b]“Why Guile?”[/b][/color] she asked. [color=00aeef][b]“They are bad men.”[/b][/color] Guile stopped next to Rosalina as a smirk quirked on his face. He leaned down to whisper into her ear some plan that slowly had put a smile on her face. The goddess clapped a hand over her mouth to stifle her giggles as the street fighter headed back toward the restaurant door. [color=39b54a][b]“This problem’s been solved,”[/b][/color] Guile declared. [color=39b54a][b]“I’m gonna have the new heroes go to Dream Land to get Mario’s belongings back.”[/b][/color] Guile glanced over at Luigi and his expression became stern as he reassured him, [color=39b54a][b]“Don’t worry. We’re gonna get your brother back.”[/b][/color] Guile hadn’t shared with the other heroes his plan for he didn’t wish for it to be compromised, but he figured they would have to learn to trust him and The Council. Cloud watched Guile leave and didn’t bother to question his judgment. As much as it bothered him that Wario and Waluigi were officially apart of the group, he suspected that there was a hidden agenda behind it all. Being as the situation was handled, Cloud turned toward the restaurant door. [color=00a99d][b]“I guess I’ll go prepare then,”[/b][/color] he thought aloud to himself as he left. The Wario Brothers ceased celebrating when Rosalina approached them. She held her wand up before Wario and waved it over him as sparkles tumbled from it. Wario flinched, having expected something painful but hadn’t quite felt anything. Blinking at Rosalina, he then frowned. [color=92278f][b]“What did you do?”[/b][/color] he growled. Rosalina smiled innocently. [color=00aeef][b]“Think of it as a blessing.”[/b][/color] Rosalina then walked over to Luigi and rested a hand on his arm to calm him. She could sense a darkness growing inside him. She didn’t know where it came from, but she suspected it may have followed him from the Odinsphere verse. [color=00aeef][b]“Everything will be okay,”[/b][/color] she told him. [color=00aeef][b]“Guile has an idea.”[/b][/color] Her hand then became a little firm on his arm as she gazed into his eyes and reassured him once more. [color=00aeef][b]“No matter what anyone says. It’s not your fault. We will get Mario’s soul and hat back. We will make everything right again, okay?”[/b][/color]
