OOC: Welcome back, Masher! =D
"Ack, my plan was foiled!" yelled a random voice.
Masher looked up, seeing... a ghost version of himself? The ghost descended, hovering in front of the REAL Masher.
"Wait... so there's two Mashers?" US muttered, confused.
"Yes... and I kept these four under my control for the whole time!" Ghost Masher laughed.
Masher looked at the four villains. It was true- they had been hypnotised.
"So, you made them evil? That's it," Masher muttered.
There was only one thing to do. Concentrating hard, Masher tried to free GH's grip on their minds. They stood perfectly still, trying to regain control over the four very confused villains.
"Hyah!" GH cried, falling backwards.
He fainted, the strain too much. The hypnotism was no longer in effect- they were themselves again.
"You fool," Hello Kitty muttered, "Ghost Masher was holding us back. And, now, you die."
"Yeah," Pink Glorb agreed.
"No way!" Goombario and US yelled in unison, leaping in front of Masher.
"So you're challenging us?" Pink Glorb sneered.
"I guess so," Masher grinned, levitating Hello Kitty and Pink Glorb with psychic powers.
Ultima Shadow and Goombario attacked as one- Ultima launched a devastating punch into Hello Kitty's stomach, and Goombario stomped on Pink Glorb.
"You've made me angry," Hello Kitty snarled.
As Pink Glorb fell beside her, Hello Kitty let out an unearthly shriek, growing in size. Claws grew from her hands and fangs from her mouth. Basically, she became more evil-looking. With a simple kick, she sent Goombario away, over the horizon.
"Masher," US muttered, "let's show this cat what happens when she messes with the Knights."
"Agreed," Masher sneered, psychic energy charging around his fists.
-MEANWHILE-
The truck was stationary. Inside, The Blue Toad, Hyrulian and Glorb were very confused.
"I thought you were supposed to be driving?" Glorb muttered to The Blue Toad.
"Ghost Masher said he wanted to drive." TBT replied.
"You let a ghost drive a van?" Hyrulian muttered incredulously.
"He was pretty good," revealed TBT, "apart from that whole crashing thing."
"Where is he, anyway?" Hyrulian asked.
"Dunno," TBT replied, "he just vanished."
Suddenly, an explosion rocked the van, and the Knights all fell over. =P
"What on earth was that?" Hyrulian gasped.
"Barrels," Glorb muttered. "Exploding Barrels."
Suddenly, one entered the van, and the Knights yelled. However, this barrel was not brown, but pink! =O =O =O
"Don't worry," the barrel said (how can it say anything in the first place? IT'S A BARREL FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!!) "I'm a peace-loving exploding barrel."
"Seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me," Glorb mumbled.
Another explosion rocked the van, and the Knights realised they were in an exploding barrel factory.
"We already knew that," Hyrulian sighed, referring to the excellent narration performed by yours truly.
"What is it with people and replying to the narration?" Glorb sighed.
I have no idea, Glorb. Anyway, like I was saying, another explosion rocked the van. It was going to collapse!
"We need to make it out of the exploding barrel factory!" TBT shouted.
Suddenly, a shape fell through the ceiling, and landed hard in the truck.
"Hey, aren't you Goombario?" Glorb gasped.
"Yeah," he muttered, "I was fighting Hello Kitty, but then got kicked a long distance away and fell here."
"But Hello Kitty is in the future," Hyrulian protested.
"Eh, another plot hole, I expect," Goombario muttered monotonously, as another barrel exploded.
"Well, we're just trying to get out of this factory at the moment," TBT told him.
"I'll come with you," Goombario muttered.
"Me too," spoke the peaceful exploding barrel, "I hate it in this factory. All of the other barrels are too busy exploding, and I'm the only one that likes being peaceful."
"Okay," Glorb agreed, "but what is your name?"
"I dunno," it sighed.
"Okay, we'll call you Bob," Glorb told him.
"Why?" TBT muttered.
"Why not?" Hyrulian countered.
"Interesting name," Goombario sighed.
"Now, let's get out of here," Glorb yelled, jumping through the door, followed by his friends.
