As Princess Hank Peachy Hooligan exits the secret passage, rubbing his head, holding the candlestick, he blinks as his eyes readjust from the dark passage, to the bright dining room.  Coach Demonica Crimson Vile hasn't even moved from her spot, at least she hadn't until she saw him come out of the passageway.

 

Crimson:  What the hell was all that noise coming out of there?  Hey, is that smoke I smell?  Where's Law?

 

Peach:  Oi, ya got a pad?  I'm bleedin' bleedin' ovah 'ere!

 

Crimson:  Not that I care outside of casual curiosity, but how did you end up bleeding like that?  Too bad it wasn't higher and to the left.

 

Peach:  If it was 'ighah and to tha left, it would've gone through me neck!

 

Crimson:  My point exactly!  Now what happened to the sober, sane, non-murderous one!?

 

Peach:  Well, let's just say 'e's been 'andled.

 

Crimson:  You killed him didn't you?  You killed him just like you killed Mr. Boddy!  Hey, nice candlestick!

 

Peach:  Actually, now that I can see it, it is a rathah nice candlestick...but no, I didn't kill Mr. Boddy-

 

Crimson: So you killed Law Martin!  I knew you were a murderous drunken Limey Princess..I just knew it!!  I've got to go tell Stan...you'll be deported, you'll go to prison, you'll go to prison deported...that's it, buddy-boy, you're done!

 

And Demonica gets up to go tell Stan that Hank was the killer, and Hank just couldn't have that...especially with a probably dead Virtue Knight and a definitely incapacitated Law Martin laying there in that passageway, so he grabs her arm, with the intent of spinning her around and sitting her down...but she had other ideas.

 

Crimson:  You're not killing me too!

 

*DING!*

 

That was the sound of Hank getting kicked in the junk.  He doubles over and falls to the ground, candlestick rolling onto the floor.  Then, instead of running Demonica decides in her menstural rage that Hank needed to be punished for "trying to kill her" and begins stomping away on Hank.

 

During the course of the barrage of boots, Hank manages to roll so that her kicks were no longer to the softer, fleshier parts of him which gives him a bit of time to gather himself as much as one can while being stomped on, but in seeing this, she decides that now would be a good time to go back to her original plan of telling Stan and makes for the door, only to trip over the candlestick on the floor and fall on her face.

 

Crimson:  OW!!  My face!  OW!!!  Cramp!  Man, this totally sucks!

 

Peach:  Listen ta reason, ya daft bird!

 

Crimson:  And stay here so you can kill me?!?  Not just no, but hell no!

 

Demonica gets up to her feet and Hank gets up to follow her, grabbing the candlestick in case he needs to subdue her.  Demonica has a bit of a problem with the door handle, which gives Hank a second to close the gap, but she swings the door open and flys out into the hall, with Hank in hot pursuit.

 

Crimson:  HELP!  HE'S TRYING TO KILL ME!!!

 

Peach:  I AM NOT!!!  Just stop fer a second...

 

But she does not stop, in fact she picks up some speed down the straight hallway, but when she slows to make a corner, Hank barrels right into her...the candlestick in his hand making contact with her head, knocking her out cold.

 

Hank gets up, gasping for air and the stab wound is really bleeding now, so Hank looks like a crazed, blood soaked mess.

 

Stan:  Crikey!  I think we have ourselves a number one suspect!

 

Hank looks up to see Stan Daniels with some staff members trailing behind him.  Hank then takes a second and realizes just what this looks like.

 

Peach:  Oi, stan, boss-man...this ain't whot it looks loike...

 

Stan:  Sure, mate, sure...that's what they ALL say...

 

It looks like Princess Peach is now in quite a pickle!

 

Peach:  Oh, bollocks!
