The Hostage Situation

By Max Jones

Bowser and the Koopa Kids were all sitting at the dining room table, trying to think of a plan for taking over the Mushroom Kingdom and defeating Mario and Luigi.

“Maybe we should try to scare them out of the castle, then when they’re out, we beat them up,” suggested Roy.

“No, that won’t work,” said Bowser.

“Perhaps we should kidnap the princess and tell the Mario Brothers to give us the kingdom in return for the princess,” suggested Ludwig.

“Good thinking, Ludwig, we’ll do it tonight. I need two volunteers,” said Bowser. All of the Koopa Kids raised their hands. “How about Lemmy and Iggy?” said Bowser.

“When do we do it, King Dad?” asked Lemmy.

“At night, and you have to make sure everyone in the castle is sleeping,” said Bowser.

“Okay,” said Lemmy.

That night, everyone was sleeping peacefully in the Mushroom Kingdom. Lemmy and Iggy were hiding behind a bush, thinking of how to defeat the two Mushroom guards without making too much noise.

“How about we try it the way the Mario Brothers would do it? We just jump on their heads,” said Lemmy.

“Okay,” said Iggy, who usually didn’t argue with Lemmy’s ideas.

Lemmy and Iggy came from up the sides and jumped on the two Nushroom guards, knocking them unconscious. Lemmy and Iggy went inside the castle, up to Princess Toadstool’s room.

Iggy opened the door silently. Lemmy and Iggy walked in to both sides of the bed. Lemmy took out a bag. Very quickly, Lemmy and Iggy stuffed Princess Toadstool into the bag and held it shut.

“Come on,” said Lemmy.

Lemmy and Iggy ran back to Koopa Castle and set the bag down in front of Bowser.

“Good job boys, now tie her up,” ordered Bowser.

Lemmy held the princess while Iggy tied a rope around her.

“Now, Ludwig, write a letter to the Mario Brothers saying that we expect the Mushroom Kingdom in return for the princess,” said Bowser.

“With pleasure, King Dad,” said Ludwig as he uncapped a pen and took out a piece of paper.

The next morning, Mario was awoken by Luigi patting his face. “What?” asked Mario.

“Look what I found,” said Luigi as he showed Mario the note.

“Read it to me,” said Mario as he sat up and rubbed his eyes.

“Dear Mario Brothers, we have your precious Princess and we are keeping her tied up in the dungeon unless you give us the Mushroom Kingdom. If you do not collect the Princess in a matter of days, she is to be killed. Do the right thing. Bowser,” read Luigi. Mario jumped to his feet.

“So, are we gonna go get the princess?” asked Luigi.

“No, I have a better idea,” said Mario.

“What is it?” asked Luigi.

“We capture Wendy and keep her hostage, and when they give us the princess, we’ll give them Wendy. We’ll beat them at their own game,” said Mario.

“Let’s go,” said Luigi.

Mario and Luigi snuck into the castle and stole Wendy without being heard. When Mario and Luigi got home, they tied up Wendy to a chair.

"Hey, what’s going on here?” shouted Wendy.

“Let’s just say that if Bowser doesn't give us back the princess, then we’re not gonna give back you,” said Mario.

“I’m thirsty,” complained Wendy.

“You’ll get food and water later,” said Luigi.

“I want it now!” shouted Wendy.

“Well, you’re not getting it now!” shouted Mario.

Wendy started screaming with tears running down her face and stomping her feat. Mario and Luigi covered their ears.

“LUIGI, GET WENDY SOME WATER!” shouted Mario over Wendy’s screaming.

Luigi ran into the kitchen and quickly got Wendy a cup of water. Luigi ran back in to where Wendy was screaming.

“I got the water!” shouted Luigi.

“How am I supposed to drink that?” asked Wendy.

“Let’s throw her in the dungeon and give it to her while she’s in there so she can use her hands,” said Mario.

“Okay,” said Luigi as he untied Wendy and pushed her into a dungeon and locked it.

Luigi handed Wendy the water through the bars. Wendy drank enough to wet her mouth and threw the cup at Mario, making the front of Mario’s suit very wet.

“I want some food,” said Wendy.

“No, we’re not giving you anything else until tomorrow, you just go to sleep,” ordered Mario.

“I WANT FOOD, I WANT FOOD!” whined Wendy as she shook the bars. Then she sat on the ground and let out a high-pitched scream. She only stopped to take a breath and let out another.

“GET FOOD, LUIGI!” shouted Mario.

“WHAT?” shouted Luigi. Mario didn’t answer Luigi, he just ran to the kitchen and grabbed a cookie and ran back to the dungeon.

“HERE!” shouted Mario as he dropped the cookie into the dungeon. Wendy stopped screaming and smiled. She ate the cookie and went to sleep.

“I think we just made a big mistake,” said Mario.

“Me too, but we can’t just give her back to Bowser, then he’ll think we’re getting weak,” said Luigi.

“I guess I underestimated Bowser’s strength, there is no way I could put up with this spoiled brat twenty-four hours a day,” said Mario.

The next morning in the Koopa Kingdom...

“King Dad, Wendy’s gone,” said Morton as he ran up to the family at the breakfast table.

“What do you mean, she’s gone?” asked Bowser.

“I mean, she’s not in her room or anywhere else in the castle,” said Morton.

“Did you check the bathroom?” asked Bowser.

“That is the first place I checked. For once I could get in there without having to wait for Wendy to be done putting on makeup, it was then when I knew something was wrong,” said Morton.

“So, Wendy’s gone?” asked Larry.

“Haven’t you been listening? Wendy has disappeared!” shouted Morton.

“HOORAY!” all of the Koopa Kids shouted.

“Stop it! Wendy is your sister and we have to help her!” shouted Bowser.

“Do we have to?” asked Lemmy.

“YES!” shouted Bowser in Lemmy’s face.

“No offence, King Dad, but you need a breath mint,” said Lemmy.

Bowser’s eyes turned red as he threw Lemmy into the dungeon. Then he came back to the table and saw Iggy laughing uncontrollably at Lemmy’s joke. Bowser threw Iggy in the dungeon as well.

“I’ll bet those Mario Brothers took Wendy,” said Bowser.

“I believe that we all were thinking the same thing,” said Ludwig.

“Well, check Wendy’s room,” said Bowser.

All of the Koopa Kids went up to Wendy’s room. Roy tipped over a dresser and took the head off of one of Wendy’s plastic dolls.

“Look what those monsters did to Wendy’s doll and dresser!” shouted Roy. Roy and Ludwig started laughing.

“I found a note,” said Larry.

“Let’s show King Dad,” said Ludwig. They all ran down to Bowser.

“King Dad, I found a note on Wendy’s bed,” said Larry as he waved the note in front of Bowser’s face.

“Yeah, and the Mario Brothers decapitated one of Wendy’s dolls and tipped over her dresser,” said Ludwig, and he and Roy started laughing again.

“Read me the note, Larry.” ordered Bowser.

“Dear Bowser, We stole your Wendy and will not give her back until we get our princess back. So drop the princess off in front of the Mushroom castle, then we’ll do the same thing with Wendy. Your Nemeses, the Super Mario Brothers,” read Larry.

“What shall we do, King Dad?” asked Ludwig.

“We steal back Wendy, but later,” said Bowser.

“Who’s gonna steal her, and when?” asked Morton.

“I think I’ll have Lemmy and Iggy do it, because they were so good at stealing the princess,” said Bowser.

“And when?” asked Morton.

“Tonight,” said Bowser.

Meanwhile, in the Mushroom Kingdom...

“Hey, Mario Brothers, I want my dolly now!” shouted Wendy from in her cell. Mario and Luigi woke up.

“What?” asked Luigi.

“I said I want my dolly, stupid!” shouted Wendy.

“Well, where is it?” asked Mario.

“In the sandbox, behind the castle.” said Wendy.

“Forget it,” said Luigi.

“I want my dolly!” shouted Wendy as she started shaking the bars and letting out a high-pitched scream.

“ALL RIGHT!” shouted Mario. Wendy stopped.

“Luigi, go get the doll,” said Mario.

“Me? Why me?” asked Luigi.

“Because I told you to,” said Mario.

“All right Wendy, where is your doll?” asked Luigi.

“In the sandbox in the back of Koopa Castle.” answered Wendy.

“Okay, I’ll be back in awhile.” said Luigi as he left.

Luigi approached the front of Koopa Castle. He saw two Hammer Brothers guarding the front door. Luigi snuck past them to the backyard of the castle. He stopped when he saw Roy bench pressing five hundred
pounds.

Luigi’s eyes shot toward the sandbox. He saw an ugly monster doll sitting there. Luigi tiptoed to the sandbox.

“Hey!” shouted Roy as he saw Luigi. Luigi gasped as he made eye contact with Roy. Roy threw the weight and started running at Luigi. Luigi ran to the sandbox and grabbed the doll.

Roy smashed his fist into Luigi’s face. Luigi fell to the ground. He quickly got up and punched Roy in the mouth. But Roy bit Luigi’s hand, preventing himself from getting hurt.

Luigi screamed with pain as he pulled his hand from out of Roy’s mouth. Roy tried punching Luigi again but Luigi ducked and punched Roy in the stomach. It didn’t hurt Roy too much.

Roy picked up Luigi and threw him into a tree. Luigi hit the tree and a branch fell off and hit him on the top of the head. Luigi picked up the branch and swung it at Roy with the doll still in his hand. When the branch got close enough, Roy bit off half of it. Luigi dropped the branch.

Luigi ran over to the weights. He grabbed a five-pound weight and hit it against Roy’s face. Roy stumbled back. Luigi did it again and again until Roy fell to the ground, unconscious. Then Luigi ran back to the
Mushroom Kingdom.

“Here’s the doll,” said Luigi as he threw the doll into Wendy’s cage.

“What took you so long?” asked Mario.

“I came across Roy and we fought,” said Luigi.

“Well, I’m glad you came back, she’s been screaming the whole time.” said Mario.

“I don’t think she’s worth the trouble, I say we steal the princess back, and once we get her, we give Wendy back.” suggested Luigi.

“Me too, let’s do it tonight,” said Mario.

That night, Mario and Luigi started walking toward the Koopa Kingdom, and Lemmy and Iggy started walking to the Mushroom Kingdom. Soon they were all at their destinations.

Mario and Luigi jumped on the Hammer Brothers’ heads, and knocked them unconscious. Then they went into Koopa Castle. They snuck past everyone and came to the princess.

“Mario, Luigi!” shouted to Princess Toadstool.

“Quiet, we don’t wanna wake anyone up,” said Mario.

Luigi untied Princess Toadstool.

“Lemmy and Iggy went back to my kingdom to steal back Wendy,” reported Princess Toadstool.

“They can have her,” said Mario.

Mario and Luigi headed back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

Lemmy and Iggy knocked out the two Mushroom guards with their wands. They entered the castle and snuck into the dungeon.

“Lemmy, Iggy, is that you?” asked Wendy.

“Yeah, now be quiet,” said Lemmy as he froze the lock on the door and then shattered it with his wand. They opened the door.

“Mario and Luigi are going to steal the princess back,” reported Wendy.

“They are? We gotta stop them!” shouted Iggy.

“Quiet Iggy, I don’t think we do. I think King Dad will be happy just so long as Wendy’s back,” said Lemmy.

“I don’t know how he lived without me,” said Wendy. Lemmy and Iggy sighed.

“We shoulda left her here,” said Iggy.

“Yeah,” said Lemmy. Wendy slapped both of them.

“I’m telling King Daddy on you for saying that!” shouted Wendy as she started running toward the Koopa Kingdom.

“No, wait, it was just a joke!” shouted Iggy as he and Lemmy started chasing Wendy.

Wendy threw open the doors of Koopa Castle and screamed, “King Daddy, Lemmy and Iggy are making fun of me!”

“Wendy! You’re back!” shouted Bowser as he ran down the steps.

“Ah, King Dad, since we got her back for you and all, we were thinking that maybe you could not put us in the dungeon for making fun of Wendy,” said Lemmy.

“This time, I won’t,” said Bowser.

“Thanks King Dad!” shouted Iggy.

“I have bad news everyone, the princess has been stolen!” shouted Morton as he ran up to Bowser, Lemmy, Iggy, and Wendy.

“That’s fine, we’ll just think of a different way to steal the Mushroom Kingdom and defeat the Super Mario Brothers.” Bowser said.

Then they all started thinking of another plan.
