Peach's legs trembled weakly in anxiety as the figure stepped towards her through the smoke. The princess tried to imagine what the figure would look like in the eternity it seemed for it to step clear of the smoke. The enigmatic silhouette, finally visible to her for the first time, seemed to have no real form at all; its shape was loosely that of a human, but its body was made of shadow, like black smoke almost and it terrified her greatly.
"Princess Peach!" The shadow spoke, its voice neither that of a man or woman, but both, synchronized in perfect harmony. "I am Gloome and I've been watching you for some time..."
"Wha-what do you want?" Peach replied, her lower lip quivering.
"I am displeased with how you rule over your kingdom." Gloome replied bluntly. "Like most weak minded, pathetic, snivelling rulers, you do nothing for you kingdom but sit around and watch it fix itself... That's what I'd like to say, but you're somewhat different. You're also kind natured and well mannered, generous and completely selfless..."
"What's your point?" Peach managed to force out, finding the courage to speak deep within.
"No one truly respects you, princess..." Gloome declared smugly. "They use you... Take you for granted and on the outside, they pretend that they adore you... But deep down, they don't care! They hope all the time, that when you're kidnapped, you never return! Even your precious Mario is beginning to feel that way. Time and time again, he risks his neck and for what!? A mere cake and a kind word of thanks in return!? What a raw deal..."
Peach began to tear up, her beautiful azure eyes glistening with the tears. "That's not true!"
"Heheh, oh, but it is, princess!" Gloome replied, laughing at her distress. "Why, Mario is so close to breaking point, you'd be lucky to ever see him again! ...And as for your citizens, what they wouldn't give to see you fall! ...And you know what? I'm going to give it to them! I'm going to break you down in such a way that, when we're done, you'll want the earth itself to swallow you whole!"
"Please don't..." Peach gasped, now on the verge of crying.
The princess suddenly felt a sharp pain in her bladder and her bowels started to rumble. She had completely forgotten about her need for the privy and was now brought back to its attention after letting out an undignified wet fart. Peach blushed heavily, having Gloome hear this.
"Excellent!" Was Gloomes response to the princess's flatulence. "So it's true then, the talk in the Mushroom Kingdom? They say that you're nothing but a big baby. They say that it's the vacant look on your face that gives it away! Or are you perhaps, afraid of me?"
Peach whimpered a little, letting slip another wet fart. Whilst she did have to go before her confrontation with Gloome, it was indeed true that her fear was catching up with her. Her strong will refused, however, to disgrace herself in such a manner in front of this fiend and she managed to find it in herself to hold on, despite how scared she was.
"How I enjoy this!" Gloome croaked in satisfaction. "Princess's are indeed always fun to play with! So innocent and pure, it's practically the end of the world for them when they succumb to the indignities of extreme humiliation! For me, the anticipation of seeing you wallowing in misery and torment is absolutely palpable!"
"I-I won't let y-you..." Peach tried to defend herself, choking on her words.
"Is that so?" Gloome retorted, almost annoyed at how sure the princess was. "That's too bad, because this is going to happen, one way or another. Your existence, from here on out, is going to be one of grotesque humiliation! Your days as ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom are over! I will give you a choice, however... Either you can come with me through my portal of shadows... Or we can see how much your citizens really care... See if any of them are willing to fight for you! What will it be, Peach?"
