Chapter 5: Back to a Familiar Town

Meggy: Hello, anybody? I'm a worried Mother!

Mario: Anybody... have you seen these Children, anywhere?!

Auri: *sigh* This is insane... I don't think anybody has seen them!

Mario: These people in Inkopolis are rude!

Auri: That's because no one has seen them.

Mario: You said that twice!

Meggy: Oh God, I feel like we're not making any progress... my kids could be dead by now!

Auri: Now, don't say that! That could be your imagination telling you that!

Meggy: *sniff* Jesus...

Mario: Do you know what's worse? These people haven't seen them!

...

Meggy: What are we gonna do?

Radio: 30 from Sierra Oscar... are you receiving?

Mario: What's that?

Auri: My Radio... it's back on range.

Radio: 30 from Sierra Oscar... I repeat, are you receiving?

Auri: *RADIO* Go ahead, Sierra Oscar.

Radio: Are you not with M&M and Mr. Monitor?

Auri: *RADIO* Look, I know what you're thinking... I'm all the way back over at Inkopolis, my friends are finding Gino & Emily by there-selves... and I'm helping them.

Radio: Right... um... I've got all of that.

Auri: *RADIO* Yeah, and the Merseyside Chief got slaughtered.

Radio: Anyways, can you attend Luigi's Flower Shop?

Mario: L- Luigi?

Auri: *RADIO* Has something happened?

Radio: There's been a shooting.

Meggy: *gasp* OMG... sounds like Luigi is in trouble!

Auri: *RADIO* Right... um... show me attending!!!

Mario: OH GOD, NOT LUIGI!!!

Auri: I'll drive!!!

Mario: I call shot-gun!!!

At Luigi's Flower Shop...

Mario: Luigi?!

Luigi: *sigh* Hey...

Mario: I heard your Arm got shot!

Luigi: You don't say.

PC Toadette: Hey Auri, aren't you supposed to be in Liverpool?

Auri: O_O

PC Toadette: Auri?

Auri: Y- YO... THAT'S THE CAR!!!

DC Pianta: Come again?

Auri: THAT'S THE CAR THAT INKLING WOMAN WAS IN... WHEN SHE STABBED THE MERSEYSIDE CHIEF IN THE NECK!!!

DC Pianta: Jesus, calm down!

...

Luigi: Mario?

Mario: Yeah?

Luigi: I think we've found the kidnapper.

Meggy: *gasp* WHERE?!?!?!

Luigi: Well, she got away with my Truck and there's a picture of your kids.

Mario: Give!

Everyone looked at the picture.

Mario: OMG!!!

Auri: Good lord!

Meggy: *panting* OMG... no!

Auri: Meggy?

Meggy: *SCREAMS* NO!!! 😰😰😰

Luigi: That's not all... she said that she knows Mario!

Mario: Me?!

Luigi: She's planning to kill you!

Auri: Christ!

Mario: OMG...

Luigi: Alright, you stay calm whilst the Paramedics take me to the Hospital.

The Paramedics took Luigi to the Hospital.

*AMBULANCE SIREN*

Mario: What does this mean?

Meggy: I think this Woman... has a plan to kill our kids, as well!

Auri: Jesus!

Meggy started to freak out.

Meggy: *panting* OMG... 😰

Mario: Meggy, it's alright... at least we're now making progress!

Auri: So, it's true... this Inkling Woman is very dangerous, and she might kill again!

???: GUYS... I'VE GOT SOMETHING!!!

Somebody rushed out of the Flower Shop.

Auri: OMG, is that?!

PC Toadette: Inkopolis has joined us in this investigation!

The person who ran out of the Shop... appeared to be... Zayn Wright!

Mario: Hey, you look familiar.

Auri: Zayn Wright!

Zayn: Hey, everyone!

Auri: What brings you here?

Zayn: Hello Auri, I should be asking the same thing.

Meggy: Where's my Babies?!

Zayn: Right... when I heard about this shooting near by, I wanted to attend this scene... and when I saw this Car and the Registration Plate, I knew that Plate was familiar.

Auri: Really?!

Zayn: This Car is registered to a Mrs. Nancy--

Zayn froze.

Meggy: You alright?

Zayn: You're not gonna like the surname.

Meggy: Tell me!

Zayn: Nancy... C- C- Cumber!

Everyone: *GASP*

Meggy: W- W- WHAT?!?!?!

Mario: Are you saying that--

Zayn: Nancy Cumber... is... Dylan Cumber's MOTHER!!!

Auri: SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!!

Meggy: *panting*

Mario: Meggy?

Meggy: I'm gonna find her... and I'm gonna kill her!!!

Meggy rushed to the Car.

Mario: MEGGY, WAIT!!!

Auri: WAIT UP!!!

DC Pianta: Oi... where are you going, Auri?!

Auri: Saving my friend's kids!

Mario, Meggy and Auri drove off.

Zayn: They might need back-up soon.

PC Toadette: This feels like Déjà Vu.

After that...

https://youtu.be/LrDXx7DIdnQ

Meggy: *panting*

Mario: Um... I can't believe Dylan has a Mother.

Auri: Everybody has a Mother.

Mario: I don't... ANYMORE!!!

...

Meggy: I'm gonna kill her!

Mario: At least, the kidnapper is a Woman... we might have some Girl on Girl Action on our Hands.

Auri: That sounds mature.

Meggy: If we find her... I'm gonna tell her that her Son was a Menace to Society!

Mario: And, do some Girl on--

Auri: MARIO!!!

Meggy: If she lays one finger on one of my Babies... I SWEAR TO GOD!!!

Meanwhile...

Bob: What's up, y'all?

SMG4: SMG3 was a pain in the ass... Mario & Meggy have sodded off... and Luigi got shot in the Arm.

Saiko: Luigi got shot in the Arm?!

Melony: Is he alright?!

SMG3: Me... in a pain in the ass?!

SMG4: Yeah, Mario rang me up... but Luigi is not seriously hurt.

Melony: Oh, good.

SMG4: They did find something, though!

Shroomy: What was it?!

SMG4: Earlier today, a Police Officer got stabbed and killed.

Bob: Jesus!

SMG4: And, that murderer appears to be... Gino & Emily's kidnapper!

Everyone: WHAT?!?!?!

Saiko: Who did it?!

Tari: It was an Inkling Woman.

Melony: An Inkling Woman?!

Bob: Wow... I can't imagine this Woman being a Mother of this Dylan psycho!

Everyone: ...

[AWKWARD SILENCE]

Bob: Um... I am joking, am I?

SMG4: I don't think so.

Melony: W- What?!

SMG4: Mario also said on the Phone, that the suspect's name is... Nancy Cumber.

Saiko: Cumber?!

SMG4: And, she had a Son named... Dylan!!!

Melony: OMG!!!

Bob: Aw crap... here we go again!

SMG4: I don't know about you guys... but it seems like Dylan's Mum is finishing the job and seeking revenge.

Tari: Ooo...

...

SMG4: You okay?

Tari: Um... I'm just gonna go have a lie down.

Tari went to her & SMG4's room.

SMG4: Hmm...

SMG3: Mate... she's 33 weeks now.

SMG4: It's a bit early for her to go into labour.

Back with Mario...

Mario: Yo, hold up!

*TYRES SCREECH*

Meggy: What is it?!

Mario: I'm pulling over!

Everyone got out of the Car.

Mario: That's Luigi's Truck!

Meggy: OMG, it is!

Auri: Wow, good spotting!

Meggy: OMG... that means that Woman must be in there!!!

Mario: You think so?!

Meggy: MUMMY'S COMING... GINO & EMILY!!!

Auri: Meggy, wait!!!

Auri quickly grabbed Meggy.

Meggy: Auri, get off!!!

Auri: It's too dangerous... she still could be in there and she could be armed!!!

Meggy: And?!

Auri: What if the kids aren't there, as well?!

Meggy: Why you stop me, then?!

Auri: If we're gonna search this abandoned warehouse... I'm gonna have to call for back-up!

Meggy: First of all... this used to be a Splattershot Factory.

Auri: Whatever...

Meggy: And, second of all... my Babies could starve to death!

Mario: Meggy, just do what he says!

Meggy: *sigh* Oh God....

Auri grabbed his Radio.

Auri: *RADIO* Sierra Oscar from 30... requesting back-up at an abandoned Splattershot Factory near... um...

Meggy: Sprinkler Road.

Auri: *RADIO* Sprinkler Road.

Radio: Received.

...

Meggy: You know what?! I can't take this anymore... Mario, get the Splattershots from the Boot!

Mario: Eh?

Meggy: JUST DO IT!!!

Mario rushed to the Car.

Auri: What do you think you're doing?! Back-up is on it's way!

Meggy: They're taking too long!

Auri: Meggy, I can't let you and Mario go in there... by yourselves!

Meggy: Remember when Peach's Castle was in Space?

Auri: ...

Meggy: Thought so.

Mario came back.

Mario: I'm back.

Auri: Guys!

Meggy: We're gonna bust this thing, wide open!

Mario: That sounds like a line from Hot Fuzz.

Meggy: Come on, Mario!

Mario and Meggy rushed in.

Auri: Oh God, if they get hurt... I'm so screwed!

Later...

Zayn: Oi, you!

Auri: What?

Zayn: What the hell is going on?! And, where are the others?!

Auri: They're in that building!

Zayn: First of all... this used to be a Splattershot--

Auri: I bloody know!

...

PC Toadette: You were saying?

Auri: Listen, I tried to stop them from going in there!

Zayn: Bloody hell!

Auri: But, they did have Splattershots in the Boot of their Car.

Zayn: Smart thinking.

Auri: Listen, I need to get after them!

DC Pianta: Don't worry, you will.

Auri: 2 of us should go in... and 2 of us should stay out here! Who's coming in with me?

Zayn: I will.

Auri: Are you sure?

Zayn: I was once doing an Undercover mission... and now I want my time to shine.

Auri: Alright, then.

PC Toadette: Be careful.

Auri: Radio Contact at all times, all of you.

DC Pianta: On it.

Auri: Come on, Zayn.

Zayn: Aye.

Auri: I got a bad feeling about this.

Auri and Zayn went in.
