Chapter 1: Chaos In The MK
It was a quiet sunny afternoon in the Mushroom Kingdom. Everything seemed perfect outside as nothing strange was going on. It was also gonna be Peach's 20th birthday, so they are soon to have a celebration party. Peach and Daisy were at the castle watching TV.
"Ugh, there's nothing new on as usual." Said Daisy.
"We could watch Family Guy, if you want." Said Peach.
"Nah, that shows getting old. Ooh! How about Night Of The Living Dead!?" Said Daisy in excitement.
"That movie is getting TOO old. Let's watch the news!" Said Peach. Daisy turned to the news.
"It's been said that a dangerous virus had a big outbreak in Sarasaraland only just a few hours ago. Witnesses has said that the virus doesn't seemed dangerous. But reports have shown that people who DID have them seemed to be acting very strange. They would be walking slow for no reason, and suddenly would get excited when they see a person who does not have the virus. Only around 20 people have this type of virus, but we are not so sure if it is dangerous or not. But we are pretty sure that this virus was man made. And we'll keep in touch about this more later on. Next up is, popcorn issues in Rogueport." Said the news lady toad.
"Sarasaraland!? That's where I lived!" Said Daisy.
"Yeah, and that place is not far from here either..." Said Peach.
"Well, anyways. So...your birthday is today, eh?" Said Daisy.
"Yep! i'm so excited on turning 20 in the new age range!" Said Peach excitedly.
"And you'll be SURPRISED where we take you too. Mario and the rest of the gang will be picking us up and taking you somehwere special where a party never ends!" Said Daisy.
"Yay!" Peach cheered.
An hour passed by. The Mario crew in the mushroom van came up to the castle and honked.
"Oh! That's them! Let's go! Are you ready for this?" Said Daisy excitement.
"Hells yeah!" Peach yelled. Daisy laughed. They ran outside to the van and opened the door but they were shocked as how many of their friends were in there!
there was Luigi and Mario in the front seat where the front window was. Yoshi and Birdo sat in the middle seat. Dixie, Diddy, DK, Toad, Toadette in the back seat. And Wario, Waluigi, Dry Bones and Boo in the way back seat.
"I like being near the trunk of the van! It's hella comfortable back here!" Said Dry Bones.
"I know seriously! I could like sleep on this for the night!" Said boo.
"People like you are weird." Said Waluigi.
"We're not people, you moron. We're like animals." Said Dry Bones.
Daisy and Peach sat next to Birdo and Yoshi. Mario then drove out of the castle grounds and on to the main street. He then drove down left and right streets and almost hit a car!
"Woah! Are you okay, Mario? You seem to be a bit nervous." Said Birdo.
"Oh no. I'm fine, really. I'm just too excited for Peach's birthday!" Said Mario. Peach smiled.
"Okay, Peach time to close your eyes! And don't open them either!" Yoshi cheered. Peach closed them while excitement was filling up in her body.
"Okay! We're here!" Said Luigi.
"Ooh! I love this place!" Said Toadette.
"Hey! Don't spoil the surprise!" Said DK. They all got out and helped Peach get out. Then, they all went inside a celebration building that was designed for parties and dance nights.
"Okay! Open your eyes!" Said Dixie. Peach opened her eyes and only saw darkness.
"Huh? Why is it so dark in here?" Said Peach. Suddenly the lights turned on, and people came out from seats, and the walls yelling "SURPRISE!!". Streamers went flying everywhere and balloons were tossed around the whole room. Peach was so happy, she couldn't believe it! And she was surprised at how many people were there as there were like 300 people in there!
As the people got quiet from excitement Peach stepped up on the podium in the rear of the gigantic room.
"Thank you all for coming to the party! I never really expected a party like this before!" Said Peach in great excitement. But little did they know that danger was creeping slowly towards all of them.
A Koopa zombie right outside, heard the noise that was going on from inside. He moaned as he slowly dragged his left leg toward the building. His eyes were plain white. His mouth was literally drooling as if he was craving for something: Blood. Blood of the living. His teeth were a bit sharp so he could easily poke into someone's skin and eat their insides.
"I want to thank everyone here, and the whole Mushroom Kingdom for celebrating my birthday! And I want to thank you people who try to work to keep this place clean and strong so we don't have any kind of bad trouble here whatsoever!" Said Peach happily.
The zombie saw the door inside. It was unfortunately left open a bit. The zombie limped over to the door and pushed it open slightly. And saw his first victim that was a yellow-colored Toad standing feet from the doorway.
"So, how about enough of me talking, and let's get this party started!" Peach and everyone else cheered throughout the room.
However the zombie got close enough to the yellow-spotted toad, and the koopa zombie bit on his neck! Blood spread around the entrance area. The Toad screamed in fear, but no one could hear him through the cheering crowd. He fell down to the floor dead. A girl toad noticed this and screamed. The zombie noticed her reaction so he went after her. The girl toad ran to the wall area in hopes of getting out the back way, but unfortunately she tripped over. And the koopa zombie got to her and bit her neck as well. She screamed as loud as she could. Blood got all over several guests and screamed at the sight of the girl toad being killed.
The yellow-spotted toad got up and his eyes were white as well. A few people started to run to get the hell out of the there. But the toad used a long piece of wood to block anyone from getting out. The girl toad got up as well and she was a zombie too. The toad bit a koopa and munched all over her neck side. Many more people witnessed several people running to get out as well as the mario crew and Peach.
"Um, is something going on?" Said Peach into the mic. She looked at the mario crew and they didn't know what was going on either. The girl toad who was now a zombie bit another girl toad. The girl toad zombie was chewing on her neck skin piece and she enjoyed it. A lot.
Many more people had screamed. And before the mario crew noticed, people started scattering about everywhere. There were screaming everywhere to be heard. Blood was starting to get all over the place as the zombies continued to eat the living. A couple of zombies were ripping a koopa's body open and eating his insides.
The zombies were feasting on his body, they tore every little bit of his skin off and ate it. It was a truly disgusting sight.
"Everyone please calm down!!" Peach yelled into the mic, but it was no use. People were still screaming and running everywhere. More people got turned into the zombies as the zombies continued to rip the flesh off the living. Peach noticed one zombie eating an eyeball. She almost threw up at the sight.
Peach ran off the podium down the steps and to the Mario crew.
"What do we do!? We have to get out of here!" Peach yelled.
"There has to be like a backdoor or something to get us out of here!" Yelled Toad.
"Wait! I think there's a door on the other side of the podium!" Said Toad. They all ran up the steps and on the podium. As they ran, they noticed more and more people being eaten alive. In fact, almost half the room was filled with the zombies. Luckily for the mario crew, tons of more people were still alive (about 150 left) and the zombies were too busy eating the living to notice them escape. One of the zombies climbed to where a metal bar with spotlights on it. He chewed on the line that was holding on the metal bar, and the whole bar with spotlights fell down killing the 3 people that was in the way.
Luigi kicked the door open and everyone ran inside and slammed the door closed.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!?" Yelled Wario.
"I know, it was like a cannibal attack in there!" Yelled Diddy.
"I...I have no idea...really, I don't know!" Said Peach. She was so confused about everything that had happened. As they wondered about what caused everyone to go crazy, they heard the screams of everyone being killed in the main room. The screams filled their minds with fear.
"Well, we have to get out of here either way! We can't just stand here while 100 people get killed!" Said Luigi.
"Luigi is right. Let's go." Said Toadette. They went out the exit and outside. They ran toward the parking lot, but they stared in shock at what they saw.
They saw part of town, but what they really saw was chaos. There were zombies running about and eating people. Screams filled the night as people were running as fast as they can. Gunshots were heard as well. But still, it was a terrifying sight to see as many people were getting eaten alive.
"Oh my god...we need to get out of here right now!" Yelled Daisy. Everyone agreed and went in the van. Mario started the car and drove like hell.
"Ok, so does anyone what these monster things are?" Said Mario.
"I hate to say it, but I think they are zombies!" Said DK.
"Zombies don't exist DK!" Said Birdo.
"If they don't exist then why was people chasing other people and eating them alive?" Said Toad.
"He has a point, guys. We hae to get out of here before the whole place becomes a zombie-infested city!" Said Dixie.
"Well, how could the zombies kill me and Dry Bones? We're already dead!" Said boo.
"Not helping!" Said Toadette.
"I have an idea! Let's go to my place and check the news on what really happened and where we could escape to!" Said Peach.
"Alright, sounds like a perfect idea." Said Mario. He drove the van on the way to Peach's castle.
"What a way to celebrate a birthday, huh?" Said Daisy. Peach sighed.
"...I don't know." Peach whispered. As they continued to drive, they saw more people running for their lives from the zombies. The kingdom had gone in chaos. The screams filled the night. More and more people were getting eaten and bitten. It was only a matter of time.
EOC.
