Road of Smash - (MysteriousD & StarMech)

"Have a nice day," Diego told Mizuo with a smile as he finished with her and then showered, feeling better, not just from the massage, but from the experience after.

As he was walking, he saw Polari there with a serious expression, he became serious as well. "Of course," Diego answered him before taking them into a private section for them to talk to. Diego figured what it was about. About the relationship between him and Princess Rosalina. He was a bit more relaxed when Polari mentioned on being harsh on him and so on.

He nodded.

"I do. Few others have accepted me as I am... and no one else made me feel loved like she did... and vice versa. And as such, I swore on my life to protect and care for her. As she is a princess, I shall be her knight," Diego said before he went on a knee and looked at Polari. "You wanna protect her too, and I understand and respect that," he said with a smile before he hugged Polari. "I will not keept it secret and I will do everything to protect all of you as well," he said to her with a smilke. "I do love her... and want to take care of her and share my happiness with her. We all must make our own happiness and then share it with one another. It was something my dad taught me," he said to Polari before he got up with a smile.

"I'm going to go and check up on her, see if she needs help for breakfast," he says with a smile.
 
Polari was a bit embarrassed by Diego suddenly hugging him, but he appreciated the gesture, eventually floating away. "alright alright. No need to get all mushy there. But appreciate it, really. Just get this is still something we all need to get used to. So don't expect me to be calling you Papa or something like that, alright?"

Checking on breakfast sounded like a stupendous idea for both, but suddenly three yellow Lumas descended to cut their path as they happily exclaimed. "Polari! Polari! We have a visitor!!"

"Wait...what?" Exclaimed the brown Luma. "H-how?! We are floating in the sky!!"

"We let him in!"

If he could, Polari'd facepalm with his stubby arm. "And can you explain why?"

"He said he knew Mr. Diego and that he could help, so we let him in!" The trio then floated towards the lounge area of the Observatory to guide them to this visitor, by the looks of it Rosalina was making her way there as well as she looked puzzled, "W-wait, what is going on?"

When Diego arrived he was rather surprised by a sort-of-familiar face. Sitting on one of the couched was a reptilian guy of dark green scales. It was a Kremling, but not just any Kremling; but the same one donning that black trenchcoat that he met at Green Star Pass...

"Well well well, if it isn't that human boy from the Pass." Said the Kremling, "Quite the entourage ya' got here. May I ask if you found that item I sold ya' to a success?"

Reminding that he was the one who sold him that special mushroom, Rosalina's face quickly flushed in red, following a soft huff. The crocodile simply chuckled.

"You know, I don't think I ever introduced myself properly and well, given you seem like a trustworthy fellow and someone getting quite the name, I don't see no mind in say. The name's Kash, travlin' salesman of unique wares..."


((How amazing it is that I had this upcoming plot involving Kremlings just to happen around the time a certain someone got announced for Smash bros Ultimate? Hahaha XD))
 
Diego couldn't help but laugh at what Polari noted, but before he could say anything, he saw that there was a visitor. Diego raised his eyebrow at wondering who it could be. His bemusement turned to shock when he was who it was there. It was a Kremling. Specifically, the Kremling that he met a while ago. The one that sold him the mushroom.

Which he clearly remembered when he pointed it out though the Kremling was nice enough not to specify the details, though Diego blushed as brightly as Rosalina did as his words. He also couldn't note the sitting posture of the Kremling, now revealed to be Kash.

"It's a pleasure to meet you formally, Kash," Diego said after a moment of catching his breath and sitting down.

"Don't worry. Kash is a... friend," Diego said, deciding he could trust the Kremling. "What brings you here? The Luma said something about helping," Diego said, wondering what it could be.

((How nice! XDD))
 
"Well, kiddo. I'm just touched." Said Kash with a sly grin before Polari glared as he floated next to him. "Now, just cause Diego is okay with it, doesn't mean you're not a suspicious guy. Specially just coming here like it's just not a big deal."

The Kremling rose his arms in a shrug, "Me? Suspicious? Why I'm nothing but a humble salesman of valuable...abet not as...authority approving...wares!"

A little pause, "...okay fine, but you could at least use Shady, it sounds way cooler. but look, we all have stuff the other wants and you see, I wanted to talk with all of you because I'm in look for a new, how you say, partnership."

Rosalina looked at him with crossed arms. "Explain..."

"Well...a lil' bird told me you two seem to be on the lookout for those big Stars that fell from the sky, am I right? Rumors spread fast and last time I heard, one of them was snagged right off Cape Kascada by that rambunctious lil' sneak Wario and his tall purple associate...borther? Lackey?...I'll be honest, never bothered to ask about that..."

"Wait...you know where they are?" Asked the cosmic princess.

"Well, not quite." Kash explained himself, "I don't know where the Wario brothers are exactly. But my sources told me that the Star they got was already sold for a butt-ton of cash. It's buyer currently residing at BrickRock Canyon. Apparently he is usin' that as a battery to continue powering his huge and elaborate Casino. A huge parlor of gambling & sinful excess, made to drain all who enter of their precious moolah. ITs security makes sure you never leave until you are deep in dept, and to pay it off you are taken to work for the owner. Quite the elaborate scheme, if you ask me...in fact it's why I ask for your help."

"Hm?" Polari seemed curious.

Kash took a pause to clear his throat before continuing, "You see. The owner of that place and I have a bit of a history. Used to be part of his crew before I decided to make my leave. I was never gonna succeed in life if I continued to shine his boots. Still, he has recently sent his croonies after me to collect my apparent debt to him. So i seek refuge, but if you let me stay here I can provide you with recurrent goods from the Mainland. You seem like the lot that could use a variety of items, be normal, rare or junk!"

Polari took a time to think, "We could use someone to bring materials and items..." He muttered, still a bit uncertain.

"Better yet. If you go there and take the Star, not only would you be helpin' a lot of folks, but it'd mean bye-bye to my debt. Everybody wins! Of course it may not be easy. He can be quite a handful. K.Rool is the name, and he is known for being rather unhinged..."
 
"He's pretty shady, but that does mean he has a lot of information we may not be able to get from other sources as easily or directly," Diego explained to Polari as he was listening to what Kash was saying. So, one of them was taken by Wario and Waluigi? Those two... they were pretty tought, but Diego also knew how they worked. Their attacks and strategies. After all, he played the Wario Land games and he saw his brother wreck the place with Wario World.

Though it appears their location will be put on the backburner for the time being and that they would need to go to the casino. "So you're being coerced by your former boss," Diego said as he sat up straighter. He already had an idea of who could it be, but he wanted to hear Kash say who it was before jumping to any sort of conclusion.

And indeed, it was someone who he had guessed, but it was surprising to hear all the same who it was.

"King K. Rool? That's surprising. I figured he'd be trying to defeat Donkey Kong and failign again," Diego noted out loud though he was in thought. "Yeah, he has a lot of tricks and power up his sleeve, but we'll take care of him," Diego said to Kash with a smile.

"Looks like we're going to BrickRock Canyon," he added.
 
"I think I'll pass on this one, guys." Wii Fit commented as she stretched. "I do want to help and not be a burden, but I am not the best at fighting as I'd hope. I'm still surprised I was even invited to the Smash bros Tournament to begin with; My muscles are still a bit sore from that plant monster and that mutant squid. And strained muscles can lead to very severe injuries. I think I'll exercise a bit here and ask Mizuo for a massage and I'm sure next time I can be of better help."

"I think that is a smart move, may I say." Kash spoke next, "Already should warn ya all, that getting inside Kremland Kasino ain't gonna be easy. The whole place is surrounded by tight security and Kremlings of all sizes as well as robotic equipment make sure nobody gets in or out before draining all their pockets. A sporty exercise trainer like the Miss here would draw out a ton of red flags on you lot and your plan would definitely go up in smoke! Then again, walkin' in with such a pretty princess may not help ya out either..."

"Then what do you suggest we do?" Asked Rosalina.

The reptile stroked his chin as he thought before glancing at both the boy and the woman. "I do have some...means to get ya two into the Kasino...but it ain't gonna be glamorous."

He took a pause before explaining, "You see, it's not just with gambling that they get ya these days. The entertaiment and dazzling waitresses sure help, specially when they make it so the richer chumps can pay to take one of them into a cabin. The whole place is a bin o' sin. So, maybe you two can get inside if the lad here arrives as just another naive consumer that walked in for some fun, while the princess here arrives as a new hire as a waitress. Then you two can search around the place with just a slight less bit of eyes locked on ya'"

Polari seemed the most furious although Rosalina was blushing and frowning as well due to the implications. "Are you off your rocker!? I ain't letting my Mama go in there as some kind of paid harlot!!"

"Geez, don't blow a supernova over it, stumpy. As long as she stays by the dinning and stage areas serving drinks n' stuff, she'll be mostly safe...I think."

"YOU THINK!?"

"Hey it's the best plan I got!! What do ya' think I am, one of them Tactician Fire Emblem fellas!? I'm a Merchant!!" Kash shouted back. "Trust me, any other way and you probably would have to say bye-bye to yar Grand Star. K.Rool placed extra security last time I checked on my sources. Seems he has some big Event Spectacular planned for tonight, so he beefed up his croonies and even got big spectacles and musical accompaniment with it!! As i said, it ain't gonna be easy"

Rosalina sighed, as it seemed there was no way around it. "If it means getting back the Grand Star, I guess...we can try."

"Mama, are you sure?"

"That K.Rool character sounds like a very bad man. I don't want to think what he could be try to do with a Grand Star's power. And if Kash is correct, then his business seem to be trying to capture as many people to work for him. We need to help those people."

Kash then tossed soemthing to her. "Alright then, then take this." The cosmic princess took a look at the small yellow box:

"A ? Block?"

"A modified Mini ? Box." Explained the Kremling, "Use it when ya two get close to the place. It'll definitely help you get in, I guaranteed it."

She turned to Diego one last time before saying. "Well, are you ready to do this, Diego?"
 
Diego remained quiet as he was listening to everything about this. The more he was thinking about it, the more he was forumalting a plan. He was taking everything Kash said into consideration, but at the same time, he was also wondering about K. Rool bringing in extra security. On the one hand, his plan was simple yet effective enough. A two-sided approach... however, as Diego began thinking more, the more he found flaws in some of the aspects of the plans.

"The plan is good at its fundamentals, but knowing K.Rool, he would have likely anticipated someone impersonating staff, even waitresses, so I doubt Rosalina could become a waitress for that part to work in the first place. Even if she wasn't recognized, K. Rool would not likely hire any last minute help since that would be when any potential saboteurs would come in," Diego said as he sat in a thoughful position. There was additionally the fact that Diego did not want to risk Rosalina going into a place like that, especially by herself.

"However, you did mention that he has big spectactles and musical accompaniment coming up, right? That would mean more than likely he would need to hire extra staff to clean up after them. Custodians may be an easier job to disguise ourselves as such because they're such a peripheral part of staff. As in because they're barely third party so it would be the easiest to join and furthermore, one could use the musicians or other entertainers as a cover since they would most likely me able to request certain accomdations without being suspected," he added.

"Do you know any of the bands or bits of entertainment being hired?" Diego asked Kash, his mind racing with possibilities.
 
"Sorry kiddo. That was all of what I know. No idea who i playing, nor how did they got in there to begin with...all I know there's gonna be some signer and a band and that's all my info could gather..."

"And trust me, noone would pass the opportunity to have someone like her working as a waitress!" Kash stated. "And ya coming it as just another schmuck that will waste money will lower all suspense ya're in for other reasons. K.Rool can be a sneak and a cheat, but he can be a bit dense. So I wouldn't give him that much credit, ya know..."



((I won't force it if he still refuses. But I was hoping to get some lewd shenanigans using Kash's plan. Either one, Rosalina won't be having any intimacy if that's your worry.))
 
(Yeah, Diego's understnadably protective of Rosalina and so on though those poor casino people won't know what hit them... Lewd shanigans should be all right though I wonder what Diego will get himself into...)

Diego did have to ruefully with what Kash said though it made him wonder why some pretty face and a devious streak didn't clean out K. Rool already if that was the case. Then again, this did seem to be a recent phenomenon, so that would explain it. He did realize that Kash also had points in regards to the appearances and his point. He took a breath as he removed his glasses and began cleaning them. It was a bit of a nervous habit he did, especially when in a tight spot.

"Guess if we have no choice, we'll go with your plan then," Diego told Kash with a serious face before looking at Rosalina.
 
((Must have missed the fact Diego had glasses XD))

"Yeah. It may be dangerous and a bit embarrassing. But we need to get inside that Casino by all means necessary." Rosalina said following a sigh. She then turned to Polari. "And you must stay hidden, Polari. I'm pretty sure if any of those Kremlings see you they may get very suspicious..."

"No worries. i'll try to find a small passage and use it to sneak in. But for now, we better ehad to the gate so we can get to BrickRock Canyon already..." Said the brown Luma.

"Alright then. Good luck. Ya' all gonna need it. As for me, I'll start setting shop here. This place sure if cozy!" Kash said with a laugh. Rosalina rolled eyes.

·"Don't worry. I'll keep an eye on him." Wii Fit Trainer assured them.

With everything set the three once again leaped into the gate, soaring through a tunnel of light before materializing somewhere within the Grand Mainland...

Diego could look around to find himself amongst a rocky road. A path of dirt with two mountainous walls around, leading the group to gaze at the huge chasm that appeared into their view once they stepped deeper inside.

This was BrickRock Canyon, and to Diego's surprise. It sure lived to the namesake. One gaze at the mountains and rocks around them would make it immediately stand out; Everything appeared to be made of similar material to the brick blocks usually seen in Super Mario bros. Said brick texture extended to everything from the walls, to the ground. Alongside that huge ? Blocks made out of grey stone appeared to be burried amongst the rocks, only part of them visible on the surface.

Rosalina, having never seen this place either, gave a soft gasp of amazement. Her hand caressed the mountain wall, feeling the brick-like texture. "Incredible...still, we need to head to the Casino now. Keep your eyes peeled..."

It wasn't hard to miss it once they went further on. A rather tight path down the chasm, our heroes could see a huge building located at the bottom. A colorful structure, filled with neon lights and moving spotlights, with the base that almost gave it the look of a Pirate Ship that had crashed upon the canyon, while the building itself sprouted from it. Big letters spelling KREMLAND KASINO were placed on top, for all to see aver a crocodile head-shaped roof. Of vibrant colors, very tacky and sore to the view but that made sense, given they needed to stand out as much as possible within the brown landscape to gather as much suckers as they could...

They could see also a line of people going in. A big gathering of people appeared to be stepping inside one by one as a huge Kremling, Klubba, made guard while waving his huge spiked club. The entrance had two path. One path a long red carpet that thematically acted as the tongue to the crocodile jaw gates; while the other seemed to be next to Klubba, neear a chainmail fence with a sign saying "Employees Only" on it; As well as another sign saying "Waitresses Hiring".

Hidden behind some rocky formations, our group had still not be seen. "Well...I guess it time to see what was kash's plan for me to get in..." Rosalina said looking at the small ? Block. she gave it then a quick tap before it exploded in a poof of smoke, leaving a new item in her hand...

"...a Carrot?" The princess said, eyebrow risen. She had expected something crazier; Not lunch...

Still, coming from a ? Block, it probably was some kind of Power-Up...right? Wasting no time, the cosmic princess gave it a bite. A rather sweet carrot, surprisingly. Suddenly, she herself was engulfed into a poof of smoke; when the cloud disippated, Diego's sight certaintly locked on her.

"Eeep!" Rosalina was now wearing a sexy Bunny outfit. Including a pair of rabbit eras, see-through stockings and of course a light blue one-piece swimsuit that really showed off her bust and cleavage, as well as her hips and legs...

She looked like an absolute bombshell!! Rosalina simply blushed brightly.
 
Diego could only sigh in exasperation and shake his head as they gained a new but very unorthodox ally in their strange quest. He quickly went to his room and changed his clothes, going into his "work outfit", which included his battle armor, helmet and cannon, though he managed to figure it out how to put them in a dormant mode. That way, it looked like like was just dressed normally for the most part. His cannon was even disguised more as some sort of long sort of gauntlet or cast that was on his arm. He looked in the mirror and was taking a bit of a look on himself to make sure he looked inconspicious.

"All right, I'm ready," Diego said, wondering what he could do in the meanwhile dring the cainso infiltration.

----------------------------------------------------------

"This is incredible," Diego couldn't help but say as he was examining the canyon filled with hundreds and thousands of bricks and brick-like stones. "This is wild. Is there where all the ? blocks come from," Diego said as he was in thought over everything. Of course, he could not stop to stare at everything. They had a job to do after all.

Going down the path of the chasm, they were greeted with a very glitzy and golden building. Kremland Kasino.

It was gaudy and eye-catching, which Diego suspected was the entire point. Diego looked at the large Kremling. In theory, he could easily take Klubba down, but he was sure it would cause alot mroe problems. Which meant they would need to continue doing this via stealth mode.

Diego raised his eyebrow at the carrot powerup. Though he wodnered what it would do. He saw his Princess go up in smoke... and appear dresed in a second bunny outfit. He couldn't help but oogle at his beloved girlfriend, but he was still blushing. He punched his side to focus. "Polaris will keep an eye on you. Maybe he go in the vents. Meanwhile, I'll go through the front casino door," he said.

He embraced and kissed Rosalina for luck.
 
Rosalina blushed when her boyfriend started staring at her. And it was hard not to; Everything about her was simply gorgeous. Her mere steps caused her ample bossom to bounce, catching Diego's eyesight almost immediately. Polari just tried to be nice and cover his eyes as he hovered by Rosalina's side. With a nod and after a kiss, the princess headed away towards Clubba while our hero awaited in line.

"Um, excuse me?..."

"Huh?" The big crocodile looked down to see he cosmic beauty only for his jaw to hit the ground. Hard.

"Woah woah woah mama!!!" He exclaimed, almost dropping his huge club before regaining composure. "Well, what can I do for ya, miss?~"

"Well, I was wondering if you're s-still hiring."Said the princess, even adding a little stutter to sound more innocent. She could tell, despite the embarrassment, that this outfit Kash had was working. A little too well, but still...

Klubba scratched his chin as he spoke again, "Well, you see to really want to. I am not the boss....buuuuut, he is kind of a tool; and besides, another cutie like ya helping out the tables could really help us. We're almost at full house now, hahaha!"

His club smacked on a big button behind him, which activated the chain fence door to slide to the side. "Alright miss, just come this way. One of our Kritter workers will lead you to where you should start. And you are already dressed in a good uniform so you'll be working in no time!"

"Um, okay." She said. Her eyes shifted view just for a moment to see how Polari was already wobbling into an open air vent, the plan going smoothly...

Diego could see the princes walk away into another door. Klubba himself closed the gate and them moved towards the line of people who were entering. Eventually reaching Diego's turn.

"Hm...." The Kremling looked at him. "You see a bit...young. Ya sure you're here for the gamble?"
 
Diego glared at Clubba momentarily when Rosalina went to apply. Diego relaxed when she and Polari made it inside. Now it was his turn.

Diego was many things, but first and foremost he was a storycrafter... a writer... He knew how to get himself up in whatever he needed to do. Granted, sometimes he can be nervous about lying and so on... other times, he could succeed dangerously well... it all depended on confidence and the circumstances. And here...

Diego had both.

"Absolutely, sir. You see, I'm a college student, and I'm in some serious need of money to continue my education. You know how it is, they go and try and drain as much as we can, especially if you don't know any important people. But I gotta finish no matter what," Diego said with an honest tone. Granted, he knew not to say too much and he could always add more to it since he laid it out in his head, but he need not need to. Klubba seemed to look sympathetically at the kid before letting him in.

"What you studying?" he asked.

"Plenty of business classes, but auditing is the main one. I have a bit of experience, because my dad was one, but going to university is how the pros go at it," Diego noted to him and he smiled when he saw Klubba think. He knew what he was thinking.

Diego figured there was only so long before he'd end up financialy shot and lose the earnings here. He also knew how casinos worked and operated to get people intoxicated into the atmosphere. That gave him the advantage to drag things out as long as possible. Furthermore, by mentioning his education and he knew that it'd give the Kremlings somethign to think about. Most were strong fellows among a few crafty ones, but craftiness can only get you so far without formal education.

Then he mentioned the auditing. Every and any businesses needed auditors and messing up on those would haunt any business, especially illicit ones like the casino. So when he would be shanghaied into working here, he could do so in position known for being independent and while a bit feared, tended to be left along as long as dillgence is permitted. It'd give Diego a good opportunity to check the whole place out.
 
It seemed Diego kind of lost Klubba halfway through of the plan, but got the gist of it. "Well, its always good to have a good education. I never really had the luxury, to be honest. But anyways, you seem eager to step in so I ain't gonna stop ya, sir. So, welcome aboard!"

Stepping to the side, he waves his hand to point to the entrance as bowser slightly, still towering over our hero. And so, Diego stepped into the bright and loud insides of the Kremland Kasino...

After passing around a big fountain statue of the big bad croc himself, Diego arrived at what appeared to be the main hall. A huge round-shaped space with two floors. The different tables and Slot machines were located to the left side of the circle. He could see many different folks of many different races, gambling their earnings away as different Kritters dressed in croupier outfits dealing the cards and chips, as well as taking them when some started losing. Some of these Kritters also wore black tuxes, attending around the center of the area where the many dinning tables were placed, right in front of a huge stage where currently a group of Crocodile musicians were playing some trumpets and saxophone tunes. Diego also noticed how there also were much muscled Kremlings, the mighty Krushas were patrolling the area; Possibly acting as security.

this was way more obvious the moment he passed by a pleading Toad who was currently being dragged across the carpet by the muscle-headed reptile. "T-this can't be the end! I just lost most of my house over that table. please let me get another chaaance!"

The Krusha simply laughed as it continued to drag the Toad away with zero remorse, eventually disappearing from our hero's sight.

To the right side of the room there appeared to be a lounging area; Many sofas, couches and cushions. It was on that side where he noticed quite the beautiful assortment of females. Not Kremlings, but rather women ofall shape and sizes. Human, hylian, Inkling, Animal, you name it! All very curvaceous and pretty and either wearing Bunny suit-esque clothes or very sexy lingerie. It was hard for the young man to even avert his eyes; Some of them even wearing sexy ver. of Nintendo characters. That area also appeared to have a big hallway that went deeper into the complext, covered by two courtains. He noticed a man walking into said passway, with two giggling bikini-wearing babes on each arm...

"Hey, handsome. Is there anything you need?~" He was then surprised by a woman wearing a sexy pikachu-esque bikini and ears combo. From the corner of his eye he could see Rosalina. Luckily not at that area, but rather at the dining tables, taking orders and carrying plates. It appeared the Kremling krew put her to work right away, which didn't give her the time to really search around.
 
Diego grimaced at the large fountain statue of the croc here. He took a deep breath and was looking around the place. He was already noting some of the things and tricks used by casinos. He had to admit the Kritters looked surprisingly dashing in their tuxedos. The jazz played by the crocodiles was also welcomed. Overall, a pretty nice place though Diego knew he needed to get going.

He kept an eye on the Toad, making a ental note to get his house back.

Then he did a double-take at the other room It was a lounging area... filled with alot of beatuoful and attractive. Humans, Hylians, Zorans, Inklings and so on and so forth. He recognized a few pretty obscure NPCs and he had no idea how to feel about that. While the bunny suits were already eye-catching, the lingerie made his face redder than the red carpet adorning the casino. He was snapped out of his thoughts by seeing Rosalina there. He was gonna be checking up in her periodically and was relieved she seemed to be okay. However, he then turned the woman with a Pikachu ensemble.

"I'm just looking to purchase the casino chips," Diego asked her as he turned back and realized that he couldn't really see the counter and what not.
 
"Oh, you just need to go to that stand over there." Said the parlor woman, pointing to an area around where the roulette tables were. She then glanced back at Diego before giving him a wink. Softly bending her body forward just enough to give him a great cleavage view.

"And of course, once you need a break from all the games you can always swing by to our..."relaxation" area around back. There and plenty of girls just eager to entertain you~" She said in a sensual tone, enough to make the boy's body shiver. Sh walked away, swayng her body, leaving Diego to his own devices.

Still, Rosalina appeared busy, simply glancing to see Diego was okay, but then yanked back to serving drinks. At the same time, there were no signs of Polari. So it was hard to know if he made it in deeper or not...

He reached to a stand with another Kritter croupier with a series of bags behind him. "Welcome welcome. Another happy chum--I mean lovely customer. So, how much moolah are you switching for our lucky chips, hm? They are available to use in all venues; Totally guaranteed to give you a win, if I say so myself. So how much? I'd recommend just go for it and trade your whole wallet for it; I mean, a boy like you just irradiates good luck. There's no way you can loose!"

Our hero then noted how the lights around the casino started to dim slightly. From the corner of his eyes he saw some muscled Kremlings moving some spotlights to the center stage. A voice coming up from the PA System....

"Alright, ladies and gentlemen! High risk takers and chumps off all over! Our Main Spectacle of tonight is still being prepared for our viewing pleasure, but don't think here at Kremland Kasino we don't provide just the finest entreatment for you stooges. So please, a round of applause and a big cheer for our special Musical Guest!"

"Kidnapp--I mean, coming totally-by-her-own-kindness to perform in our humble joint; All the way from New Donk City: Give a warm welcome to...Miiiiiss Pauliiiine!!"

The curtails on the stage suddenly parted as the spotlights fell upon a beautiful dame of long brown hair and a sparkling red dress. Her frame simply beautiful and someone who Diego immediatly recognized; The original damisel in distress and Mayor Pauline.

Stepping in front of the mic, and as the crocodile players started with the music, she begun singing that beautiful tune...

((What else could it be, hm?))

Her music simply mesmerised. The public just watched and sat in a trace as her beautiful singing voice captivated them all. Even the nearby Kremlings couple help to lower their guard and swoon at the red-clad beauty and her amazing song.
 
Diego meanwhile looked a bit uncomfortable at the woman's seductive tone and sighed when she was gone. He sighed before he went over to the stand where everyone would purchase their chips. Diego mentally face-palmed at the utter obviousness of the pitch. At the same time, he figured it made sense given how it would exploit the confident, naive and or desperate here. He just sighed and decided to be modest with his things about it. He was here to be longer here. The longer he waits it out here, the more he could find out about the place.

Of course, he has to still spend his money and so on.

And then he face-palmed again at the broadcast. Calling people chumps is not a good move. However, he was curious to see who it was that was here...

And it was Pauline. The Pauline.

And she was very good at singing... especially given that she is kidnapped by the Kremlings...

"Oh geez, I wonder if Mario and Donkey Kong will both be here," Diego notes on seeing the kidnapped mayor and singer. However, he saw that it was the opportunity to try and find out more.

Over the enxt half hour, he would gamble modestly and go to the card tables and gambling wheel, being careful to not bust or go too big. He was remaining in the background, all while looking for clues and hints to what could happen.
 
Hours passed and so far, information had been scarce. Everything seemed so tight-lipped, no idea where could they be holding the Grand Star.

From the few shards of info he was able to overheard from whispers amongst the staff, was that there were two particular places a lot of KRemling security were called to in and out:

One was apparently the "basement", as they called it, to check on "The Main Event". Now what this was still shrouded in mystery, but it was certaintly the highlight of the day according to the Kremling crew...

The other was tech needed at the Safehouse, wherever that was. The fact that they needed tech support for it could indicate that something related to what powered the Casino could lie in there, but it was simple speculation.

The problem now lied that Diego's avilable funds were starting to dwindle, making it harder and slower to just go from table to table and, as such, made his constant looking around all the more suspicious to nearby security.

This culminated when suddenly a strong stomp was heard right behind him. A Krusha stood then giving a mean look. "Hey you, pipsqueak. Word around is sayin' you been leanin' on a lot of the staff's conversation. That sounds fishy...."

He cracked his knuckles, ready to get rough upon our hero. This not only'd be painful, but also would ruin the entire plan....

"So, what were ya' snoopin' around for, hm?"

"Oh hey!!"

Suddenly a figure barges in. A feminine figure. A dame lightly pushed the Krusha a few steps back before she held on the arm of Diego with a coy smile. "There you are. I was looking all over..."

"Wait wha?" Asked the Krusha.

The woman of brown hair quickly spoke. "Oh I'm sorry, sir. This boy here had previous hired me for service, but I kind of got lost. I bet he was simply trying to ask for me and all..."

"Huh? Is that true?"

"Yup. He already invested a lot and he just wanted to some nice relaxation at the parlor section"

This seemed enough to convince the small-brained crocodile. "Hmph, fine enough. As you were" He said ebfore walking away.

The woman wiped sweat off her forehead. "Phew, that was a close one. Good think these guys have all rocks for brains..."

Diego finally took a good look at the woman. A shocked look. This wasn't just any burnette girl, but rather a quite familiar one. Brown hair, golden crown, flower earings...this was none other than Princess Daisy!!! Rather than her usual dress of sport-swear however, she was wearing a very aluring orange lingerie set, which was enough to heat up Diego's blood at a glance. After all, her body was quite sexy.
 
The next several hours went on with little information gathered. Diego managed to hear of some sort of Main Event and there was something about tech in the Safehouse. It wasn't alot, but bits and pieces that was helping him shape an idea of what to do. Of course, there were the problems that came with this. Despite trying to keep his money on, the hours went on and he was suffering a net loss, though this was the intent of the folk there.

Of course, he wasn't as stealthy as he thought, giving how he was approached by a Krusha. He showed no fear or intimidation as he looked at him. Before he could and give his expalantion, someone came in to rescue him.

She was talking the Krusha out of hurting him. "Thank you for the help," Diego told her with a smile before he did a double-take. The brown hair, the blue eyes, the slighlt tone... it was Princess Daisy! In lingerie... wait what?!

Diego shook his head, trying to get the blush from his face and focus on the issue.

"P-Princess Daisy! What are you doing here?" Diego asked her. "Are you a prisoner of this place?" he whispered in asking her as he was trying to go to a more private place so he could talk to her.

"Thanks again for the save," he added to her,
 
"Hey hey, cool it. You don't wanna cause a scene and that big lug to come back, do you?" Princess Daisy quickly replied.

Her eyes looked around, followed by a sigh of relief once seeing that there were no Kremlings currently looking their way. "Not quite, you see. Don't tell anyone, but I went and got hired for this on purpose..."

"I'm looking for someone. And sources told me that she had been working in here. Sadly I haven't seen her..." She explained before leaning closer to him, "You're also looking for something in here, am I right?"

While still paying attention to the conversation, Diego's eyes couldn't help but constantly stare down at Daisy's body. No matter how much of a gentleman he was, he was still a teen; and so the sight of such lovely bust and hips in such a sexy orange lingerie was way too hard to part eyes away from. He could feel hardening already!
 
Diego turned quiet in regards to what Princess Daisy was saying ans was looking around. Diego then looked utterly poleaxed at the fact that Princess Daisy willingly signed up to be here to try and find someone. "Who are you looking for?" Diego whispered to her.

However, he couldn't be distracted by Princess Daisy's appearance. He had to try and cause a bit of pain to remain focused. Yes, he may have been a gentleman, but he was still a hormonal teenager. And she was a sexy princess that was standing very close to him.

However, he was also wondering who was it she was searching for.
 
"I'm looking for Princess Peach." Daisy explained, making sure her whispers hadn't been picked up by anyone else. "You see, I was told she had been kidnapped. And at first I just assumed it was that no good Bowser up to his stuff again, but then I was informed he wasn't and that she had been taken here. And since Mario and Luigi haven't been seen in days, I've decided to screw it all and find her myself! I've been stuck here for weeks trying to find any info on her, but so far I got nothing! Ugh, it's so frustrating!"

She them smirked before continuing, "You are looking for someone as well. I noticed you coming into the Casino with Rosalina of all people. haven't seen her in a while and it was weird to see her willingly come in as well, so I just KNEW there was a reason. So you two are trying to find something right? Maybe we can help both of us out..."

She pointed toward the parlor area, to where that entrance with to covered curtains were. "I managed to gather info around, and it seems they keep most important things in their Safehouse; A big room where all the machinery and all the stuff they take from people are stored. Including there a list of all the personel and people taken into the Casino, so I just know I'll find info on Peach there. And maybe we can find whatever you're looking for inside as well..."

"It just happens that it's the same place where the rooms for..."Special services" are located. So if we wanna get in there, we'll have to play the part. Got it? We go in, act like you're paying for some service; Wait till the guards move elsewhere and Bam! We break into the safehouse and take what we need!"
 
"Princess Peach here... I wonder if that is the main event that I overheard them talking about," Diego noted as they were walking. He would need to rescue her as a priority as well though he was surprised to hear that Mario and Luigi were stuck. "Given how Pauline was captured, that makes sense too," he added. However, he then noted that she said she notice they came in together. He then turned to hear about the Safehouse and so on. "Yeah, we will help each other out too," Diego told her with a smile shaking her hand.

However, he then blushed at going to the room of the special services. He remembered what Rosalina said, but still he would prefer it being with her. He took a deep breath, relaxing. "Right, go in and pretend and we head over there," he said to her with a smile before going insde the room where they were needing to go.

"Lead the way then," Diego told Princess Daisy.
 
"Got it!"

And so the two crossed through the casino, Daisy holding on to his arm as to show he had called for her services. She kept a happy innocent smile and a few giggles to keep up the art, reaching to where the velvet curtains divided the main hall from the pleasure parlor area. A Kritter standing right next to the gate looked at them. "So, paying for our girls' special service? How much?"

"Oh, he paid for the full service? We're gonna be busy for a while~" Daisy immediately responded, in a very sultry voice. Her tone already was enough to make Diego feel his rod harden inside of his pants.

The Kremling brought it, and moved the barrier to let them pass. what greeted them was a long hallway covered in dim lighting; With many doors leading to a multitude or rooms as they walked forward. An alluring fragrance could be felt through the air. A mixture between a sensual perfume and the scent of sex was already generating an arousing scene.

Diego could hear noises coming from some of the rooms. Loud gasps and moans, as well as the sound of bedsprings coiling and creaking. Cries of affirmation and low grunts. Heck, one of the doors wasn't even closed properly and so Dour hero managed to get a glipse of that Pikachu-themed bikini-wearing gal he saw before, currently on her knees as he blowed a man with sensual muffled moans.

The whole place felt so hot. Diego was feeling super eager. But luckily the big gates that lead to the safehouse were almost there....

until...

"Hey!!"

The two halted, looking back to find another Krusha. "Where ya think ya're going?"

"Umm..." Daisy quickly tried to come up with something, "We were just...looking for an empty room! Y-yeah!"

"There's one right there, so get on with it!" Said the security Kremling before picking them both and tossing them inside the room, closing it behind them. It was a fancy room, with a big royal-sized bed, fluffy heart shaped pillows as well as some soft bean bag-like seats around all over a soft fur carpet.

"Ya better put up the work!" The voice of the Krusha was felt from the outside.

"D-damnit!" Cursed the Princess. "Now we're stuck here...ugh, I've been working here for weeks to just be blocked like that. Urgh, I'm so frustrated..."
 
Despite the fact that it was a cover- Diego still couldn't help but shudder in arousal at hearing Daisy's sultry voice when she was talking to the Kritter. They then were going through the hallway. There was an almost awkward silence in the air while Diego was trying to keep focused on the objective. However, that was something that was difficult to do due to the powerful smell of exotic perfumes used as well as the fainter smell of sex, something that was further making it harder to focus.

The fact that some of the places were not really soundproof and thus so that everyone could hear what was going on. It was a warm and smother atmosphere, made to arouse the individual, something whic Diego was noting was working. His parents were feeling tight and he was trying to keep focused, almost at the safehouse.

However, fate had other plans...

He saw another Krusha was there and he mentally cursed himself for thinking this was too easy. He turned to Daisy who was trying to turn the situation in their favor, but they were both tossed into a nearby room. However, he was trying to think of a way to distract the Krusha... it was hard to think when his instinctd were screaming to fuck.

"We're almost there..." he whispered to her. "We'll figure it out," Diego reassured Daisy with a smile.
