Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dethroning the King
MARIO
FWOOOM!!! A jet of blue flames flew past my face. I jumped to the side and smashed him in the face with my mallot. King Boo staggered back and shot another barrage of blue fire at me. I tried to hit him this time, but he went intangible. He came from behind me and smacked me in the back of my head. I charged a pyro and shot it at him. He dodged and pulled out a shiny sabre. He tossed it at me like a boomerang. I jumped over it, and again as it came back. He brought it down upon me, and I raised my hammer to shield myself. He came again, and I blocked.
I parried and smacked him in the face again. He roared and breathed blue fire on his sword and swung it at me wildly. FWOOSH!!! "Woah! Chill!" I front-flipped onto his head. I ducked as he lunged towards me. He was desprerately trying to strike me now. I looked up, and saw a tree. I ran up the trunk and King Boo followed. I jumped off, and the tree hit King Boo hard, knocking him into another tree. I backflipped several times before back-kicking him in the face. I spun around and hit him with my mallot several times. He belched blue flames right in my face and I screamed, dropping to the ground and rolling insanely. "AAAAGGHH!" I jumped to my feet and punched him in the face.
King Boo signaled and several Boos dropped down and attacked. The Boos flew at me, but I jumped out of the way and pounded one with my mallot, knocking it into another one. I shouted, "METEOR SHOWER!!!" King Boo and several Boos were scorched and badly hurt. King Boo, enraged, flew at me with his flaming sword. I ducked and jumped, then swung underneath him. "Flaming Impalement!" I conjured my fire sword and stabbed him right in the heart. King Boo coughed up blue blood before falling over, dead. The other Boos looked horrified at what I had done. I smiled. "Don't worry, he'll come back to life in a couple of hours. He's a Boo, remember?" I stuffed the dark crown into my pocket.
Flutter. I whirled around. I saw nothing. I was getting nervous. FLUTTER. FLUTTER. SKREE!!! A harsh shrill pierced the night. The moon was full and the sky was like a large black curtain. "AAAUGHH!!!" I felt something pierce my neck. Hot red blood ran from the gash. I swung my hammer, only hitting air. Slice! A large gash formed on my side. "What in god's name...?" I screamed in agony again as the invisible assailent slashed at me again and again. I could feel my vision blurring. I was shivering. It was as cold as ice, all around me. I fell to the ground and hugged my self. Then, SLASH! "AAAAARGH!" I was torn apart again, and stumbled back. Then everything faded.
~
I opened my eyes slowly and looked around. I was on a rough surface, with wood sticking out of it. There were large ovular objects all around me. Eggs? Crack... I looked around to identify the noise. The eggs were cracking. Hatching. I finally realized where I was. A nest. With babies of whatever it was that had attacked me. I looked down and saw the skull of a Koopa. I guessed that was their lunch. And now that they were waking up, I would be the main course. Little claws popped out of the eggs, slowly, one at a time, followed by heads and legs. "SKREE!" They finally broke out of their shells and I was able to take a look at them. They were hideous creatures. Each one was probably as tall as an adult Mushroomer.
They had long beaks and sharp fangs. They also had spiked tails that whipped around and struck the ground. There wingspan had to be about five feet across or more. Their blood red eyes glowed in their pointy heads, and they surrounded me. As they closed in, I tightened my grip on my hammer. "You won't get me." I smashed one with my hammer, and it went flying out of the nest, probably flying into a tree. I let out a blast of fire, frying three of the creatures and knocking them out of the nest. I grabbed one and threw it into another, sending them both out of the nest. "Hah. I think that's all of-" I stopped as I felt giant gusts of wind pushing me back. I looked up and saw the creature that was probably the mother.
I jumped up into the air, but the creature dissapeared. "Wha- But I just saw-" SLASSH! I fell to the thick wood of the nest hard. SLASSSH!!! SLASSSH!!! SLASSSH!!! Old wounds opened up and I screamed. "AAAGH!" Somehow the creature somehow was turning invisible. I shut my eyes and covered my ears. I let all my emotions go. I saw the creature. I turned around and smacked it hard with my mallot. It fell to the nest and bounced. Blood dripped from the creatures massive jowels. It rushed at me, swiping the air. I front-flipped over it and shot a blast of fire at it. Burning, it flew blindly into the ground. There it lay still. I breathed a sigh of relief, and started shimmying down the huge tree the creatures had been inhabiting.
When I finally reached the ground and walked out of the gate leading to Forever Forest, I held the Dark Crown up in the air, like I had done before. Once I put it down, the giant screen popped up and Smithy appeared. The item dissapeared and Smithy rubbed it evily. "Excellent. You have brought two of the three items to me. The last one is in the Shiver Region."
"Where?"
"Figure it out. It shouldn't be too hard for the great Super Mario." He grinned and the hologram disappeared.
"Peach, Luigi, Yoshi, I will save you all....."
Chapter Thirty: Bowser's Rage
BOW
FWOOOMMM!!! I rolled out of the way and chucked my fan at Bowser's face, and it slashed his eyes. Blood trickled down from his face. Mewtwo90 shot invisible bolts of energy at him, knocking him back. Slimer49'r pulled out his dark and light swords and slashed at his chest. Bowser grabbed his neck and squeezed it hard, cutting off his circulation. I screamed. "SLIMER!" I jumped over Bowser's arm and slashed his arm. Blood gushed out of Bowser's massive arm. He dropped Slimer and growled. Slimer clutched his throat, and I ran over to him. "Are you okay?" He nodded and jumped away as Bowser smashed his fist down into the ground.
Mewtwo90 focused and compressed Bowser's body. Bowser shot a dark burst at him and he flew backwards. Bowser leaped into the air and came down on top of me, hard. He raised a claw and I yelled, "ECTO BUBBLE!" He was rocketted off me as thousands of green bubbles pushed him down. He growled and flew up into the sky. I laughed. "GWA-HA-HA!!! Bowser, what's the matter? Running away?" Bowser took a deep breath and let out a huge blast of fire that covered the arena. Slimer used his Bill Blaster to block it from directly coming down on us. "TORNADO GUST!" I spun around, then slashed the air with my fans. A blast of compressed invisible air hit Bowser. He fell to the arena, causing it to shake violently.
We all gathered around Bowser. He was not moving. "Is he... dead?" I asked. Bowser's eyes flashed open, and he grabbed Slimer by the leg, and in one swift movement, swallowed him whole. I gasped. "SLIMER!!!" I ran at the beast and slashed it repeatedly. Mewtwo90 bashed him with his fists and tail. Bowser shot a blast of fire at me and him, causing me temporary blindness. I felt a rushing of air, then incredible pain. Then I felt a slimy, sticky sensation. Had Bowser swallowed me as well? I found out the answer to that question as my vision returned. I saw Slimer next to me, not dead, but unconccious. I slapped him in the face a couple of times and he came too. "Slimer, get us out of here!" I shouted.
He looked at me. "How?" I pointed at his Bill Blaster.
He raised it and then fired. BOOOM!!! A large hole was blown in Bowser's stomach. We quickly escaped. The three of us stared him down. "YOU CANNOT DEFEAT BOWSER!!!" The hole in his stomach instantly healed. He grinned evily. He stepped foward, and we stepped back. We were tiring, and his energy had been fully replenished. Was this creature invincible? He leaped into the air, and came back down, releasing a huge shockwave sending us falling to the ground. He grinned and aproached his pray. I threw my fan at him, hitting him in the side of the face with it, then coming back to me.
He spun around and spikes flew out of his tail. I dodged, pretty well, but one grazed my arm. I cartwheeled over Bowser's head and tripped him with my fan. Slimer jumped into the air and threw a bomb at Bowser. Bowser swallowed it, and began to morph. "What the?" I was amazed.
He looked at me. "I HAVE THE POWER TO MORPH INTO ANYTHING I SWALLOW!" He laughed. His body was becoming steel, and round, and black.
Slimer moaned. "Great, just what we need, another Belome." Bowser went inside his steel fortress, and rolled right at Slimer. "Woah." Slimer jumped over it, but it came back around, and crushed Slimer's foot. He then summoned a Bill Blaster in one hand, and a fan in the other.
"HAHA! DIE!" Bowser lunged foward, stabbing the air with the fan, and shooting at us with the Bill Blaster.
Slimer dodged. "Wow, dude, you are way past trigger happy." Slimer took out his own Bill Blaster and shot Bowser in the face, sending him reeling back. "Bow! Try to push him off!" he said. I shot my fan at him, sending him stumbling some more.
Mewtwo90 jumped on Bowser and grabbed his wings, tearing them apart. "Die, fell demon, may you never harm anyone again." He kicked Bowser, and he fell screaming down into the pit of lava.
The room started taking back its original shape. As the room came into focus, many Mushroom people were seen cheering for us. I saw someone push past the crowd. It was the Koopa girl Mewtwo90 had rescued before, while we were in Bowser's castle. "Mewtwo90!" she pushed past the crowd.
"Sage!" Mewtwo90 came up to her.
She hugged him and said, "You did it!"
He blushed. "Well, I couldn't have done it without my two good freinds. He gestured towards us. She suddenly did something nobody expected her to do. She kissed him.
"Hey, would you like to start going out?" she asked.
"Um... Sure."
She smiled. "That's great! I can tell you all about myself."
He then remembered. "I can't right now, I'm still on a mission." He turned to us. "Now let us get your brother." he said, and we left the castle.
Chapter Thirty-One: The Dark Lord
It was dark, on the streets of Toad Town. All the lights had gone out except one street light. It was a full moon and very dark. The reflection of the moon shimmered on the water. The trees rustled in the gentle breeze, as if happy to be there. The stars twinkled overhead, as beautiful as a newborn baby. The dew on the grass sparkled and glimmered. Leaves fell off the tree and drifted to the ground. The Mushroomers were all asleep in their houses, dreaming in scilence.
A bush rustled. At first maybe because of the wind, which was blowing softly. But then out of the shadows, a figure emerged. It was an adult Mushroomer. He was wearing a long black cloak, hiding most of his features. He had blue spots on his cap, and was wearing shades. He had a thin mustache and a beard, he was holding a small brown package, and he had blonde hair. He was moving slowly but swiftly and silently across the field. He crossed past the stream, past the dojo, and out to Pleasant Path.
He waited patiently for something to happen. And, it did. The wind started howling like an angry wolf, and a blinding light flashed across the ground. Out of the sky came a huge vessel. It was shaped like an axe, and was large and metalic. A small bridge came out of the ship, and the Mushroomer walked onto the giant ship. Inside, giant metal creatures and hideous beasts alike roamed the floors. Some had long hanging tentacles, while others held deadly weapons.
The Mushroomer took a card out of his pocket and slipped it though a tiny space. A door opened in front of him and he walked through. He now walked down a large dark corridor with computer monitors all over it. He went to the end of the hall, swiped his card again, and then entered the door when it opened for him.
There was another room. It had creatures of all sorts in tubes. They were connected to wires, and floating in a jello-like substance. He finally came to a very large room with thousands of monitors on one wall and a huge creature sitting there. The creature was ten feet tall, robotic, and had a star on his chest. "My liege, I bring you something you might enjoy." The Mushroomer put the small package on the ground and waited.
Smithy fingered it. He took it out and saw what it was. It was a small, round, green object with several shapes painted on it. "Well, what is it?" he asked.
The Mushroomer bowed and replied, "It is a bomb, sir! I made it myself."
Smithy slammed his fist on a monitor. "A BOMB?! WHY WOULD I NEED THAT?! I already have plenty of bombs, and besides, I can turn my head into one!"
The Mushroomer shook. "I'm sorry my liege-"
Smithy looked at him and shot a powerful beam at him, incinerating his entire body. Smithy laughed. "What a fool." He continued to watch his monitors.
"Mario, you'll never rescue your precious
princess."
Chapter Thirty-Two: Frosty Mystery
MARIO
I sighed, as I was sipping hot chocolate and kicking back. I was listening to the snow roaring around outside. The vehicle stopped and I got out. The houses here had lights inside them. I went up to a specific house with a green door. I knocked, and a few seconds later, a small blue Penguin came out of the house and greeted me. "Ah, hello, Mario. Come in."
I came into the house and sat down by the fire and took another glass of hot chocolate. I sipped it, and said, "Mayor, I'm on a mission. I'm looking for a relic."
He frowned. "What kind of relic are you looking for?"
I put down my mug and said, "I'm looking for a telescope."
He chortled. "Is that all?" The mayor turned around and went to a drawer.
He rummaged through it and found a shiny black telescope. "Here you are, it's an antique and I've had it ever since I was a lad."
As he handed it to me, my smile faded. "No, I wanted more of a crystal telescope." The mayor gasped and dropped his mug. It shattered, spilling hot chocolate all over the rug. "Mayor? Are you okay?" I asked him. His face turned serious and he turned towards me. He sighed.
"A long time ago, the Crystal King ruled the Crystal Palace, and he was a good king. He provided us doctors when we needed them. He would always help a person if they needed it. And if someone was invading, he would protect us.
"He had a crystal telescope always with him, which he would use to look at the stars in admiration. No one knows what happened to it. Some people say it was lost in the Crystal Palace. Others say he buried it. But yet still others say he ate it. I think the last theory is particularly insane, but, you never know." He stopped.
"What really happened?" I asked.
"Do you want to know how it happened?" I nodded. "Very well then..."
A young Penguin came out of his house. It was Christmas morning. He went outside and looked at the beautiful sunlight, gleaming off the snow. He breathed joyously, taking in the beauty of the day. He went over into the snow, and started to roll it. BAMF! He turned around to see his sister, Melody, grinning and holding a snowball. "Hah, Jack, that was pathetic! I nailed you without even having to break a sweat!"
Jack took the ball of snow he had in his hand, and said, grinning, "You're going to be sorry you did that!" He tossed a snowball at her, and it hit her in the face. She looked stunned for a couple of seconds, and then threw another snowball. He rolled the snow and threw three more snowballs. One hit her, one skimmed her, and one completely missed and broke their neighbor's window.
"YOU CRAZY KIDS! Always throwin' snowballs, an..." They laughed. Until he hit Melody in the face with another snowball.
"That's it! You're dead meat now!" He laughed as his sister leaped on him, and they wrestled for a while, throwing snowballs at each other as much as possible. Finally they ran out of energy and collapsed upon each other, gasping with excitement.
"KIDS! Aren't you going to open your presents?" their mother called out. They had nearly forgotten. They ran inside and tore open their presents.
Jack had gotten a model train set. He beamed. "Thanks, Mom!"
His sister opened hers to find a makeup kit. "Gee, Mom, just what I needed!"
She and her brother hugged their mother lovingly. "You're welcome dears." They stopped as they heard trumpets. Their mother looked out the window and said, "Look, the king is in town!"
The two children smiled and ran out the door. "Hi!!!!" they said as they waved. The king did what looked like smiling, and waved back
As his carage went around, the Crystal King frowned. He turned to his soldiers. "I don't wan't to tell the people, but we're expecting an invasion from the Yo'sters any day now."
"Sire, should we ready the troops?" the soldier asked.
"Yes. Make sure you have my best troops out there. These are my people, and I want to make sure they are safe." The king sat feverishly in his seat.
The soldier tried to change the subject. "So, how's the missus?"
"My wife is doing fine. She is a beautiful woman." He sighed as the carrage pulled into the nearest church.
Jack and his sister Melody were walking to church with their mother. Their father was working. He needed money because their family was not the richest. As they walked across the snowy ground, leaves blew in the air, and church bells chimed. They walked up to the entrance, and a Penguin greeted them. "Ah, Merry Christmas, all." He handed them a pamphlet and a glowstick. The children took it, happily, then went in and prepared for mass.
The king was sitting in his Crystal Palace, sitting on the throne looking out with his Crystal Teliscope. Over the horrizon he saw a small speck, but it was getting larger. They were Yoshis. The Yoshis marched into the Shiver Region ready for war. Flying Yoshis soared, carrying watermellons. The troops on the ground had multiple Bean Fruits ready. The king turned to one of his troops. "Get the squadron out there right now!" The troop saluted him and ran down the steps of the Crystal Palace. The White Clubbas and Duplighosts put on their armor and grabbed their weapons. They opened the palace doors, and ran out.
"Charge!" one Clubba said, and the two armies went to confront eachother. Several Yoshis ate Bean Fruits and threw Neon Eggs at their adversaries. BOOM! BOOM! One Clubba charged foward and nailed one in the head with its steel club. The Yoshi fell to the ground, painting it red. A Duplighost changed into a Yoshi and spat stomach acid in a flying Yoshi's eyes, blinding it and causing it to fall to the ground, but not before plowing into the Duplighost responsible, and impaling him. Several Yoshis threw more Neon Eggs, and others spit stomach acid. One Clubba punched a Yoshi in the gut dropping the creature to its knees. The Crystal King himself even shot a blast of cold ice at the oncoming Yoshis, freezing them in their tracks, followed by Clubbas smashing them to peices.
Melody and Jack looked out their window following mass at the horrible scene they saw before them. It seemed as though their king would never surrender, although back at the battlescene, the king was tiring, as were his troops. The Yoshis seemed endless, as if they would never stop attacking. Many Clubbas and Duplighosts alike fell. The Crystal King was getting desperate. Many of his troops were dead, and he did not want his people to die. He sent a blast of ice at a nearby snow hill, thus making an avalanche. The snow buried them all...
"...And, that's how it all happened. Nobody knew what happened to the telescope. But as you know, the Crystal King still survived. Everybody mourned him."
I grimaced. "I found that out the hard way. Why did the Yoshis invade?" I asked.
"We used to be enemies a long time ago. But I'm afraid I can't help you any," he said
"Okay, I understand."
I walked out of the house and back into the snow. Out in the distance I saw a shadowy figure. Was it a marage? Only one way to find out. Follow it.
Chapter Thirty-Three: Reunited?
SLIMER49'R
I looked up at the black sky. We were in Dark Land, trudging through its murk, the sky blanketed by a veil of darkness. We could barely see our hands in front of our faces. Lightning streaked against the sky, lighting it like a candle. In that tiny period of time, we saw the hideous desolite wasteland that was Dark Land. Smog floated up from the ground, making me cough. Trees were gnarled and crooked. They looked as if at any moment they would leap out and grab us. I stumbled, and fell in the mud. Bow picked me up and put me on my feet. I thanked her, and continued walking.
The wind whipped through the sky, feeling like a million needles. I shivered. It was cold out here, and even though I was wearing my cloak I felt a chill run down my spine. I looked at Bow, seeing she was shaking as well. I wrapped my cloak around her and she smiled. We blushed. Mewtwo90 all of a sudden popped up in between us. "AHH!" Bow screamed.
"May I come in? I am very cold," he asked.
"Er... Sure," I said. So we walked together in the same cloak. We looked like something like a four-legged creature as we stumbled along.
As I looked ahead of me, I saw something strange. When it got closer I dreaded my life. Bowser had left us a little present. Thousands of Koopatrols, and other creatures I couldn't make out in the dark, were charging towards us. "Get ready!" I said. Bow clenched her fans in her fins. Mewtwo90 entered a fighting stance and I pulled out my Bill Blaster. The creatures came over the hill and we ran forward. I sliced at a Koopatrol, gutting him.
Two Koopatrols shot a Bonzai Bill at us. "Duck!" I shouted. BOOOOOOOOOOM!!! We just missed getting blown to bits, although Bow got grazed by a couple of shards. Her fins bled. I pulled out a 1-Up mushroom and gave it to Bow. She smiled at me and ate it. She took a fan out from behind her and threw it at some Koopatrols. Their helmets flew off. Mewtwo90 made the two Koopatrols crash into eachother. Out of the darkness several Bob-ulks and Rob-ombs came marching.
"You gotta be kidding me!" I took Bow and Mewtwo90 by the hand and ran. I ran over the hill and looked back. Sssss...
BOOOOOOM!!!
We hid behind a tree, but that got uprooted and thrown away somewhere. I landed on my face, and looked around. Bow was alive, but bleeding badly, as was Mewtwo90. I tried to get up, but fell back down. I felt pain. I rumaged through my cloak and found one 1-Up left. Using my sword, I split it into three equal pieces. I crawled over to Bow and put one in her mouth, and made her swallow. Several seconds later she opened her eyes. "Slimer?"
"Thank me later." I crawled over to Mewtwo90 and fed him part. Then I ate the last piece myself. I got to my feet followed by my friends. I saw that Bowser's Castle was right there. We walked up the drawbridge and into the castle. It was eerily quiet and deserted. We walked through the halls and came to the dungeon. We ran over to the cell that had "Brian" written over it, but saw that he was not there. "Where's Brian?" I asked. We heard an evil laugh all around us.
"EYA HA HA HA!!!" A shadow rose out of the wall.
"Brian?!" I looked as a dark version of Brian emerged. He was larger, and had spikes on his shell. He had sharp fangs, and strange pink ears with stripes on them.
"Not Brian... BRIANLETTA!!!" The evil creature cackled.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER?!" I took my Bill Blaster and raised it at the creature.
It grinned maliciously. "Nah ah, ah..." it said. "If you hurt me, you hurt your precious brother. That's right. I am the evil witch Cackletta! And I have possesed your brother's body!!!" I looked at Bow, a look of confusion on my face. Cackletta dived at me, swiping her long claws at me. It went into its shell and shot at me. I jumped over it, and threw it into the wall. The creature leaped to its feet and swept me, knocking me to the ground, and throwing Bow into me.
The creature grinned and smacked me with its tail. It turned towards Mewtwo90 and grabbed him. It crushed his back and I heard his bones snap. He screamed, and was tossed across the room. "I am the great Cackletta!!!" the creature roared. This was bad.
Chapter Thirty-Four: The Nest
YOSHI
Crunch! Crunch! The sharp fangs of the Gloombas penetrated the cave walls. We readied ourselves to attack, when one fell through the roof. It snarled at us, and drool dripped from its gaping maw. Another one broke through, and landed behind us. I took a breath, and then shot my stomach acid at a creature. The creature's face burned and it writhed in agony. Luigi charged his fist with thunder and smashed it into the creature's gut. The creature was fried. The two Gloombas remained on the cave floor, unmoving. I wiped sweat off my snout, and panted. "Is that it?" I asked. CRACK!!! Several Gloombas dropped through to the cave floor. "I guess not."
I sighed. I looked out into the empty void of space and wondered. Mario, where are you? I limped around my dimly lit room, and tripped over an object. "Oh!" I fell hard on my knees, bruising them. My elbows and face hurt too. I pulled myself to my feet, and lifted my dress slightly. My kneecap was cracked and bleeding. My dress had been torn in several places, and I hadn't bathed in God knows when. I dropped my head to my hands and began to cry. I bawled.
"Dinner!" A small shaft opened up and a bowl of something was pushed into the room. When I lifted it closer, I saw it was grayish and smelled of rotting eggs. I gagged.
I supposed it couldn't be that bad. They gave me no silverware, so I had to eat like a pig. I raised the bowl to my face, and ate some of it. "GACK-" I choked and threw up all over the floor. I felt my insides heave and felt nausiated. I experienced it coming back up again. I shivered. Obviously I had supposed wrong. I coughed several times, before having to use my sleeve as a napkin. Think, Peachie, there has to be a way out of this. I had escaped from facilities before, only to be captured again though. I pushed against the door, feeling for some kind of secret switch or something.
My hand fell upon something light and jingily. The key! I silently cheered for joy as I grabbed it. "Wow, Smithy's goons must've been real stupid to leave the key on the inside of the door." I put the key into the scanner, and the door swung open. Now, not to get caught. I crept along the hallway, avoiding eye contact with the guards. I spotted a nearby barrel. Bingo! I ran over to it, and threw it over my head. I walked a little, and then dropped it. The guard almost caught me, but I dropped the barrel just in time.
When he turned his head, I walked a little farther, then dropping it again. He turned towards me, not noticing I had moved, but confused. I walked a little further until I was out of sight. I had snagged the key from him, without him noticing, and that was good. I opened the next door and walked through. In this room, I saw several of my fellow people inside glass tubes. I gritted my teeth and cursed. "Smithy, you @#$%$." I determined to rescue them later, but first I had another mission.
I then saw two seperate pathways to choose. One was through a giant labryinth, but the other was a door down the hall, and I didn't have a key. So, I went in, feeling around searching for openings. I made it halfway through the maze, and I was getting worried that I would never make it out. I tripped over two solid objects, but this time I held my hands out in front of my face. I looked to see what I had tripped on, and I saw, Luigi and Yoshi! I nudged them. "C'mon, get up!"
I nudged them again. I slapped Luigi in the face, I pulled on Yoshi's tail, but they didn't awaken. "What's wrong with you two?" Then I realized. They had probably been drugged. It was probably by Smithy, too. I looked under Luigi and saw the key. I grabbed it and than worked my way through the maze again. I reached the exit, and then held the key up to the door. I opened it, and saw Smithy's throne room. Ooh, My bad. I hoped that he was not in there, but unfortunately I was wrong.
Smithy was sitting on his throne, looking at me. He growled. "MISERABLE GUARDS! You can't even prevent her from escaping?!" He sighed. "Tell me again why we are keeping her ALIVE?" He turned towards Yaridovich. He bowed.
"I believe, my lord, that you are using her as bate, so you can kill Mario."
I screamed. "Mario's going to save me! And when he does he's going to kick your sorry $#%$!!!"
Smithy threw back his head and laughed. "Foolish girl!! Mario will be no match for me."
I spat. "He beat you before, he'll beat you again!"
He snapped his finger and Yaridovich brought out two items, a Silver Cup and a Dark Crown. "You see, child, I already have two of the sacred objects. If I get one more, I will gain unimaginable power! And your pathetic Mario will be no more!!!"
I gasped.
"Now put her back in her room! I don't want anymore interruptions!"
Two guards cuffed and gagged me before carrying me off.
I was getting tired of fighting and the Gloombas were overpowering us. Crackkk... I spun around to see eggs hatching, and out of the eggs came winged and spiked Gloombas. One flew at me, but I smacked it over to Luigi with my tail, and he fried the Gloomba with electricity. Peach was bashing them with her frying pan. Hiss... The Gloombas stopped. All around us they stopped and started hissing.
Their blood red eyes glowed, and their fangs glinted in the light. Hot drool rolled down their mouths and fell on the ground. "Luigi?" I asked.
"Yeah?"
"What are they doing?" He stood there, unmoving as did I. Hello, if you're going to attack us, do it already! All of a sudden my vision got foggy. I staggered, trying to keep awake. Wow, I'm about to fall asleep in my sleep?! I dropped to my knees, but then, I felt peaceful, like all my worries were gone. Why was I struggling? I didn't care! If I fell unconcious here, who cared? I fell to the ground, and whispered to everyone, "Good night."
"Good night."
And I closed my eyes.
