Hatching of the Shreok

By Slimer49'r

Chapter Thirty-Two: March up the Volcano

Slimer49'r held his Bill Blaster towards the Yoshis. "Move! I need to get the eggs in time!" Slimer49'r grinned. Soon, he would harness that power for his own greedy needs. Slimer49'r looked up the massive volcano. It would be a long walk, but it was worth it. "Let's start climbin', people!"

The Yoshis gulped. "Well the fastest way is through the volcano."

Slimer gave a quizzical look and asked, "Wadaya mean throug-" He stopped in mid-sentance. The Yoshis had gone over to the ground part of the volcano and said some mumbo jumbo words. The front started to glow and hiss with blue light. "It's gonna blow!" Slimer49'r cried.

The Yoshis simply shook their heads. A door appeared where there had just been rock before. Slimer49'r gasped. "Great!" he said with glee. The door opened to reveal a large pit of lava and a long rocky pathway. Slimer49'r smiled. "Move you two!"
 

Mario ran, his brother by his side; they had to catch Slimer49'r before it was too late. They ran to the Mayor. "Where is the Barrel Volcano?" Mario asked.

The Mayor pointed west. "The Barrel Volcano is over there." Mario thanked him and the two brothers went off to find Slimer.
 

As the Yoshis and Slimer49'r went through the door, they felt extreme heat. Slimer49'r was sweating. "Ugh, I can't stand this heat." He followed the Yoshis up the path.They saw Podoboos jumping in and out of the lava.

"Auugh! This heat!" Slimer49'r was sweating heavily now and had just shouted at the top of his lungs. Suddenly the volcano started to shake. "What now?!" Slimer said, aggrivated.

One of the Yoshis panicked. "Great, now you've angered the Lava Pirahna! Run!"

Chapter Thirty-Three: The Koopa Clan

"Ugh... my aching head." Bowser, the King of the Koopas, was lying on the ground. "Uh oh." There was a grenade ten inches from him, without the top! What was going on? Then he remembered Slimer49'r and guessed he had left a surprise in case he woke up. He knew there was only one thing to do. "AAAAAAAAAAA!" Bowser ran.

Bowser's kids were lying down on the ship they had gotten from the Shy Guys looking at the sun. Roy yawned. "AAAAHH. So, Pops gave us a lot o' time off. Waddaya wanna do?"

Wendy shrugged. "Don't know, what do you-"

Wendy stopped. She thought she heard something. "AAAAAAAAAAAAA! Run!" Bowser cried as they heard a faint beeping behind them.

"King Dad, what's that beeping?" Ludwig asked.

"Grenade!" called Bowser. They all screamed and Bowser hopped into the ship. Over 10 feet away, where Bowser had rumbled with Slimer, was an uncapped grenade. It blew up.

Bowser and the kids were jettisoned through the air and landed through the ceiling in Bowser's castle. Kamek gasped when he saw the king unconscious. "Oh my God! I just fixed the roof!" Kamek, who had been at home training the troops, had patched the roof a million times after several Magikoopas had accidentally burned a hole in the roof due to a messed-up fire spell.

The Koopa King was waking up, but he was delirious. "Pickle night is Tuesday. Hi Mommy!" Bowser said. Kamek looked at him, slapped him in the face, and waited. "Thanks Kamek, I needed that." Bowser stood up and found that he had been on top of his seven children. "Oops."

Kamek whispered something in Bowser's ear. "Alright!" Kids, Kamek has been working on a backup project just in case I didn't get the eggs." He grinned at Kamek. "Alright, show 'em." Kamek pulled a huge curtain aside and they saw seven huge fighter planes. There was also an eighth craft, much larger than the others. It was a huge appocolypse of a machine.

Even Bowser was a little suprised.The extremely large one looked like a massive doomship, only more advanced. "Kamek, how?" Bowser was openmouthed.

"Easy, with a little genius and a little magic." Kamek sighed. "The big one is the Koopa Klan 3000. It's for Bowser. The seven small ones are for your kids. They're called the Koopa Snipers." Bowser turned to his kids. "Alright, you can attack the Mushroom Kingdom, while I get Slimer49'r."

Chapter Thirty-Four: Reunited with the Stars

Twink rushed down to Earth to give the Star Sword to Mario, practical for protection against the eggs. He flew to Yoshi's Island, where he saw Mario and his brother. "Mario! Good to see you, friend!" Twink said.

Mario smiled to see his old friend. "Twink, what are you doing here?" he asked.

Twink just smiled. "The Star Council wanted me to give you this sword for protection against the Shreok eggs. It is the only thing strong enough to match their power."

Mario's eyes widened. "You're a Star Spirit? Congratulations!" he said. "Now I've got to apprehend Slimer49'r," Mario said and ran towards the Barrel Volcano.

Satisfied, Twink flew up, returning to Star Haven. Eldstar asked, "So, was it delivered?"

Twink smiled and said, "Yes sir. I hope Mario and his brother succeed." Twink went back to the Council meeting.

Eldstar told of the good news to the rest of thw Star Sprits. "God bless him, let him succeed," said Eldstar. He sighed.
 

The Mario Bros. ran for the volcano. They had to stop Slimer49'r. Suddenly they heard a noise. "Well well, if it isn't the famous Mario," Lord Alkeron scoffed as he lowered from the chopper. "Those eggs are mine!"

Chapter Thirty-Five: Dangerous Duel!

Mario and Luigi were heading towards the volcano when they heard a helicopter. WHUP WHUP WHUP! They saw a huge helicopter with Humans and Koopas hanging on it. "Welcoming, the lord, and master warlock, Lord Alkeron!"a Koopa with a horn said. A helicopter wind propelled down from the wehicle, cascading like an avalanche.

A mysterious hooded figure leaped out of the chopper and growled. "Who are you two fools?! That Koopa needs to be delt with!" he was obviously talking about Slimer49'r, that treacherous Koopa.

"We're Mario and Luigi, and we're looking to stop Slimer49'r from getting the eggs." The figure took his hood off and looked at them. The Bros. gasped. He was a hidiously scarred human/wizard with power braclets and a robe.

"Going to stop him, eh?I think not. I have a feeling you are the heroes here, and I will be taking those eggs for myself." He chuckled and whirled, and before Mario knew what was coming, a shocker of a kick missed Mario by an inch. "Whoa! Mamamia!" he yelled to his brother. "Watch out!"

Luigi frowned. "Wha-AAAA!" A blast of fire was hurled at Luigi and sent him flying. Lord Alkeron pointed at Mario and a bolt of electricity fried him. "C'mon, fight me without your fancy powers, we'll just see how tough you are." Mario got up off the ground and Lord Alkeron swung one of his huge fists at Mario.

He blocked it, but his legs buckled under the pressure. "Ha! You're pathetic, little man!" Alkeron laughed. He swung at Mario a few more times, then Mario parried to the side, knocking Alkeron backwards. "Grahh! Now I've had it!" he bellowed in rage and started chanting a spell.

"Nobody hurts my brother!" Luigi cried as he shot into Alkeron using his signature green missle. Alkeron lay on the ground, unmoving. "C'mon brother, let's stop Slimer." They entered the volcano using the code the Yoshi leader had taught them a while ago.

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Awakening of the Lava Pirahna!

RRRUMMBLE! The whole volcano was shaking. Slimer49'r looked down at the entrance to see Mario and Luigi. Great. Two more nuicences to deal with! "WHO DARES WAKE ME?!"

The Lava Pirahna's rage shook the volcano and everything in it. GRAAAAAAGH! The Lava Pirahna reared back and shot a stream of extremely hot molten lava at the nearest ledge, which fell into the lava with a hiss. "Whoa! That thing's got a hot temper!" Slimer49'r shouted. The Yoshi hostages used this opportunity to escape. "I wonder how this beast would like a taste of cold!" Slimer whipped out twin ice beam swords and leaped at the creature. The sword cut into the Lava Pirahnas flesh and it screamed. It's Lava Buds shot flames at Slimer and he was knocked back.

From down below, Mario and Luigi saw Slimer being knocked back. Enemy or not, the Lava Pirahna had to be taken down. "Hey Slimer! We're not helping you, we're just going to kick this thing's... um, stem." They reached the top where Slimer49'r was.

"Care to, bro?" Luigi asked. Luigi jumped on Mario's shoulders, propelling him into the air, then Mario jumped up and grabbed Luigi's hands. They spun in the air a second before crashing down on the Lava Pirahna's head.

Slimer49'r shot his laser at the creature, but the monster was only angered. A blast of lava hit Mario as his brother searched through the backback he'd been carrying. "An Invincishroom, catch!" Mario ate the shroom which before had caused them a lot of trouble, and the lava on him disappeared.

"Time to end this!" Luigi charged a ball of electricity in his hand and flung it at the Lava Pirahna. SCREEEE! The creature rithed, then fell down into the lava. "HA! See you Mario dorks later!" Slimer49'r yelled. The race was on.
