"Look, we don't have to do it now," Blinky said. "However, you need to get out of here as fast as possible. There's no telling when King Bowser might decide to execute you." Blinky didn't know much about King Bowser's actual plans with these prisoners, but execution did seem like something he would do.

"You mean like, he's going to kill us?" Tony asked horrified.

"Yes, kid. He's going to kill you if you don't escape soon," Blinky confirmed.

Nearby, Redd was deep in thought. King Bowser didn't usually execute prisoners. Then again, King Bowser usually imprisoned people for actual reasons, like... the wide variety of reasons he kept taking Princess Peach. 'I'm lonely!', 'I'm bored!', 'We didn't finish that game of chess last time!', 'She didn't invite me to that birthday party!', 'I need someone to rule the entire universe with!' This time, however, they had been imprisoned because they were in the way. And keeping prisoners wasn't all that cheap, so King Bowser would probably want to get rid of them as fast as possible.

Redd completely failed to realise that General Blinky was going behind King Bowser's back. Well, he had un-realised it, and was now lost in thought about King Bowser's prisoner policy.
