Episode 27: It all go BOOM?
Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi duck for cover, as Syaoran just stands there.
*What's the point of ducking?* He says matter-of-factly, and sighs. *At least I'll be seeing Sakura again...*
-1.
-2.
-3.
-4.
-5...
Yoshi stands up. "What the heck is going on?"
*Yeah, shouldn't the thing like explode or something? Not that I'm complaining...*
Bowser, behind the glass panel, bangs on his control panel a couple times. "WHY ISN'T THE STUPID THING BLOWING UP!?!" he roars. "Knew I shouldn't have skimped on it..." he grumbles under his breath. "But anyway, GOD THIS STUPID THING MAKES ME SO ANGRY THAT I FEEL LIKE BREATHING FIRE!" he shouts again in an absurd manner. He then proceeds to spray fire all over the place, missing the 4 heroes but hitting the bomb.
Yoshi reverts back to duck-and-cover mode. "Geeeeenius, Bowser."
Syaoran continues standing in disbelief. *That thing really refuses to blow up.*
The bomb then splits in half. Candy spills out as Bowser runs toward it.
"Wow, a pinata!" he says gleefully. "Wait...THAT WAS THE BOMB!"
Insert punny stuff here.
Luigi stands up and airs out his collar. "Boy, it's-a sure-a hot in...YAAA!"
Mario looks up. "It's-a on FIRE!"
Bowser laughs evilly. "All part of my plan! I secretly constructed this place out of flammable materials...so you can all burn to death as I make my escape! MWAHAHAHAH!"
"No way that was actually your plan, but question..." Yoshi raises his hand. "How exactly do you plan to get out?" he asks, noticing a ring of fire circling Bowser.
Said ring of fire shoots up into the air, completely encircling Bowser. He cackles a few more times, and then the fire burns out in a puff of smoke. Bowser is nowhere to be seen.
*I've got to admit, that's pretty neat,* Syaoran comments, *But we gotta get out of here now!*
The four look around the room in panic, and find a door labeled 'Exit'. Unsurprisingly, Mario tries the door and...
"Locked-a." He says dejectedly.
Syaoran smashes his sword against the door a couple times. *It won't budge!* he says with a little more than a touch of panic in his voice. Meanwhile, the flames magically grow further.
Yoshi looks confused. "Why not...? It's just a..." He reaches to touch the door, and jumps back in shock and pain. "metal door!"
Luigi runs around in circles. "What-adowe-ado?!" he screams repeatedly.
Mario and Yoshi study the area, looking for a solution. Mario suddenly snaps to attention. "That's-a it!"
"Luigi! Help-a me fire-a ball this door-a!" he orders. Luigi follows command and they barrage the door with fireballs.
*What will this do?* Syaoran queries.
Yoshi thinks, and responds "I think the heat from the fireballs, combined with the heat of the flames, will melt the metal, allowing us to escape!"
Right on cue, the metal door melts right away into a pile of steaming goo, which the four leap over...and never land on the other side.
Because there isn't anything on the other side of the door!
*WHY IS THERE A BOTTOMLESS PIT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR!?* Syaoran screams in frustration.
"At least we escaped the fire..." Yoshi tries to be optimistic.
"No-a one said it-a was-a a bottomless pit-a..." Mario reasons. "Not that-a a bottomed-a pit would be-a better..."

Tails taps his foot on the ground impatiently. "They sure are taking a long time."
"Piiii... (Yeah...)"
Zelda looks concerned. "I hope they're all right...I have a bad feeling about this..."
"You know what just occurred to me? Amy hasn't talked since...well...a while ago." Tails notices.
Amy continues staring off into nothingness, clearly lost in her own world.
---
*I still say it's a bottomless pit...we've been falling for a half hour.* Syaoran mentions.
"Well, I hope there's an end, because this falling is getting kind of boring..." Yoshi responds.
Mario looks down, and sees the ground. His eyes bug out slightly. "You-a sure you want-a this-a to end-a...?"
