Last chapter, the Koopalings were at Dayzee Diner, Shadow Mario watched Barney, Kamek and Kammy made potions for the army of Koopas. Now the Koopalings are in Desert Land.
CHAPTER 5: DESERT LAND
The Koopalings have walked for miles and now are stopping at a little pond. They each take turns getting a drink, and they begin to walk away.
Goomba: Halt!!!
Goomba #2: You can't drink our precious water and walk away!
Goomba #1: It's not free!
Goomba #2: PAY UP!!!
The Goombas hold their hands out greedily.
Ludwig: How much for each Koopaling?
Goomba #1: Royal koopalings pay 87,587 coins.
Goomba #2: Koopalings that are not royal pay 50 coins.
Lemmy: We aren't royal!
Goomba #1: They lie!
Goomba #2: No! They speak the truth! Royal koopalings don't say "aren't"!
Goomba #1: All right, 400 coins.
Ludwig counts the money.
Ludwig: 200?! We're 200 coins short!
Morton: Do you take dirt?
Goomba #1: Jewel-imbedded dirt?
Morton: No, this dirt!
Morton creates a pile of dirt and throws it at the Goombas.
Goomba #1: You've gotten my robe dirty! THIS IS DRY CLEAN ONLY!!!
Goomba #1 faints and Goomba #2 backs away.
Goomba #2: IT'S FREE!!! JUST DON'T HURT ME!!!
Goomba #2 ducks down and starts shaking in fear.
Roy: O... k... Lets' go...
The Koopalings walk away and head to a giant, old Mario Kart sign.
Wendy: This course hasn't been used for quite a while.
Morton: The hieroglyphs are coming off!
Ludwig: Let's go.
The Koopalings walk about a mile or so. They hear a whirling noise.
Wendy: I have a bad feeling about this…
Larry: You should, ‘cause that's a...
Koopalings: TWEESTER!!!
The Koopalings run around to escape the cyclone, but it grabs them and whirls them into different directions.
SHADOW MARIO'S HIDEOUT
Shadow Mario: Let's check my EVIL plan book...
Shadow Mario takes out a book and opens it to a list with almost everything crossed out.
Shadow Mario: The only way to get heart magic is to absorb it! I'll combine Kamek and Kammy's wands and absorb them!
Shadow Mario takes out his paintbrush, and paints over the two wands. They combine and glow a violent red and blackish color.
Shadow Mario: Now time to absorb it! BWHAHAH...
Shadow Queen walks in with cookies. The door hits Shadow Mario's back, making him lose his grip on the wand. He hits his desk and bounces off, hitting the floor. He lies on the ground, unconscious with his mouth open, and the wand lands in his mouth. He swallows and wakes up.
Shadow Mario: I feel like I just ate the wand on accident...
Shadow Queen: You did.
Shadow Mario: WHAT?! HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!
Shadow Queen: *refer to Shadow Queen walks in with cookies... *
Shadow Mario: HOW COULD YOU?! I PUT A DO NOT ENTER SIGN ON THE DOOR!
Shadow Queen: That is the bathroom door you put it on.
Shadow Mario: Oh... I'm in trouble...
Shadow Queen: Why did you have wands in the first place?!
Shadow Mario: Stole them from Kamek and Kammy.
Shadow Queen: Well, you’re stuck. I don't think I can get the wands out. I could try...
Shadow Mario: NO!!! I DON'T EVEN TRUST YOUR COOKIES, I’M NOT GOING TO HAVE YOU PULL THINGS OUT OF MY INSIDES!!!
Shadow Queen turns red with anger.
Shadow Queen: WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT MY COOKIES?!
Shadow Mario: They’re... *gulp* yummy...
Shadow Queen: Ok. You can live with a wand in your stomach for the rest of your life.
Shadow Mario: Why can't it come out? I'm made of paint, for crying out loud!
Shadow Queen: ‘Cause when the owner of a wand is apart from it, the wand knows, and when it is in a small area where no one can find it, it stays in that spot. Why didn't you know that?
Shadow Mario: Stupidity.
Shadow Queen: YES! You would need the wands of the 9 lands to get it out. I read that in the magic book I have.
Shadow Mario: But I'm made of paint! I shouldn't be trapped...
KASTLE KOOPA
Kamek and Kammy walk to a Koopa Troopa with a cart with the cups of potion they made.
Kamek: Give this to all of our troops.
Koopa Troopa: Ok. Me too?
Kammy: Yes.
Koopa Troopa: Ok.
The Koopa Troopa drinks the potion and gets bigger and stronger.
Koopa Troopa: Mmmm. Cherry flavored. I give this to everyone!
The Koopa Troopa walks away.
WHERE LUDWIG IS...
Ludwig lands head-first in a pile of mud, rolls down a hill, and falls into water. Ludwig swims back to land, and looks around. He sees palm trees, Cheep Cheeps, and LOTS of water.
Ludwig: Where am I? Who am I? What am I? Wait! I'm feelin' dizzy. WOAH!
Ludwig grabs his head, wobbles for a few seconds, and faints.
WHERE WENDY IS...
Wendy wakes up in a lush, green field. She sees the normal monsters walk by: Amazee Dayzee, Shy Guy, Giant Goomba. Soon, giant monster walks by. They look scary and evil, like Bowser.
Wendy: A GIANT GOOMBA?! HELP!!!
The Goomba looks at Wendy and growls. He lurches forward, but sees that Wendy's scared, and smiles.
Goomba: Who are you?
Wendy: I'm Princess Wendy...
Goomba: I'm Chuck.
Wendy: Hi Chuck. Where am I?
Chuck: You're in...
WHERE LEMMY IS...
Lemmy lands perfectly on his ball. He looks around to see that he's nowhere near Desert Land. The air seems cool, but not like Ice Land. Lemmy gets the floating feeling and looks down.
Lemmy: COOL! I'M HIGH IN THE SKY! I CAN SEE MY HOUSE FROM HERE!
Lemmy yells so loud that he wakes up all the Spinies. They get angry, and their spikes grow larger.
Lemmy: Hi... Nice Spinies...
The Spinies charge at Lemmy.
Lemmy: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! BAD SPINIES!!! BAD SPINIES!!!
WHERE BOWSER JR. IS...
Bowser Jr. lands on the ground with a thud. He opens his eyes to see ice. He stands up, rubs his head, and takes a few steps. Bowser Jr's feet slip on the ice, and he lands on the ground hard.
Bowser Jr: Those stupid Tweesters! I'll destroy them all with my magic! They won't get away easily when I tell Papa Bowser and Mama Peach!
Bowser Jr. stands up and looks around.
Bowser Jr: Where are the payphones? Maybe there's one in that Vanilla Dome over there!
Bowser Jr. starts to run to Vanilla Dome, but doesn't even go half a step and falls down.
Bowser Jr: I should've taken those ice-skating lessons...
WHERE IGGY IS...
Iggy crashes into a small castle with horrible graphics and game programming.
Iggy: Ow. My body aches AND I'm trapped in a creepy, dark castle.
Iggy walks around the castle, looking for a way out.
Iggy: Where is that darn door?! RUST! GET OUT HERE!!!
Rust, who was in Iggy's pocket, flies out.
Rust: Yes Iggy?
Iggy: Where am I, and how do I get out?
Rust: You’re in the oldest Kastle Koopa on Plit, in the land ruled by Bowser Koopa. It's the darkest land that the Koopas rule. I believe a wand is in this land. Try looking for the way out while I search for the castle's floor plan.
Iggy: FOR THE SAKE OF DAD! WHY DID I HAVE TO LAND HERE?!
WHERE LARRY IS...
Larry lands in the largest, emptiest field he’s ever seen. Larry looks around quickly before realizing that it's nighttime where he is.
Larry: That's strange. It was daytime in Desert Land. There's more stars then anything in the sky.
Larry walks for a while. He comes to a small castle. A large sign in front of it reads: Bowser Jr's Castle (Please don't cover in toilet paper!!! >:-O
Larry: I'm in the land of TWILIGHT!!!
WHERE MORTON IS...
Morton lands in the mouth of the plant monster Wendy told the Koopalings about. The monster is a Piranha Pokey.
Morton: AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Morton lands in the plant’s stomach. He looks around.
Morton: This makes me think of those Yoobs in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
Morton turns around. He sees the Pokeinators talking.
Pokey #1: Who has any ideas on how to destroy those stupid Koopalings?
Pokey #4: Uh, boss! Let's beat them up!
Pokey #1: They have the girl. It's impossible.
Pokey #2 sees Morton.
Pokey #2: BOSS! BOSS! THE FAT ONE! HE'S BEHIND YOU!!!
The Pokeinators turn to Morton, and their spikes grow.
Pokey #1: You'll never escape now!
Pokey #2: Never!
Pokey #3: You'll die under the wrath of...
Pokey #4: -our boss, Poker!
Morton: AAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
Poker: That won't work! You'll never win! POKER NEEDLE STORM!
Poker spins quickly. Spikes fling out and hit Morton.
Poker: You three! Finish him off!
Pokeys #2, 3, and 4: OK!
Pokey #2: SPINER SLASH!
Pokey #3: RINGER RUSH!
Pokey #4: CRINGER CHOAS!
Pokeys: POKEINATOR TRIPLE THRASH!
The Pokeys hit Morton with their attacks. Morton falls, but strangely survives. He slowly gets up.
Morton: I'VE GOT AN EXTRA SURPRISE FOR YOU!!!
Poker: Oh yeah? BRING IT!
Morton: SPIRAL SANDSTORM SUPREME!!!
Morton creates a sandstorm that blows the Pokeinators into oblivion.
Morton: I feel something... . It's so tingly... Is this what Larry felt?
A light shines in the distance. Morton runs to it.
Morton: It's the wand of Desert Land!
The great flash that happened to Larry, happens to Morton. He feels stronger yada yada...
Morton: YES! SEVEN MORE WANDS TO GO!
WHERE ROY IS...
Roy falls on a pipe. He gets up and sees trillions of pipes.
Roy: STUPID TWEESTER!!!
Roy kicks a pipe and grabs his foot.
Roy: OW! STUPID PIPE!!!
A Shy Guy comes out of the pipe Roy just kicked.
Shy Guy: Go away! This is my house!
The Shy Guy goes back in the pipe.
Roy: How are we supposed to find the heart of this land?!
SHADOW MARIO'S HIDEOUT
Shadow Mario is sitting at his desk crying.
Shadow Mario: *sob* Why did you not knock? *sob* I could've been thirty times more powerful! *sob* Because you have to come in with your dumb cookies! *sob*
Shadow Mario grabs a tissue and blows his nose.
Shadow Mario: Now I have to go on some stupid, dangerous adventure on my own. It's all because Shadow Queen didn't knock. Now I can't get the wand out of my stomach.
Shadow Mario gets up from his chair and takes a small bag out of a closet. He takes a few other things as well.
Shadow Mario: Darts? Check. Paintbrushes? Check. Healing items? Check. Stuffed Barney? Check.
Shadow Mario puts all his items in the bag and slings it over his shoulder. He begins to walk out the door, but suddenly his stomach growls and Shadow Mario grabs the wall.
Shadow Mario: Ow!
Shadow Mario lets go of the wall and grabs his stomach. Shadow Mario stumbles for a while before falling. He closes his eyes and screams in pain. Down the hall, Shadow Queen hears the screaming from Shadow Mario's room, and she runs into the room. She sees Shadow Mario on the floor, screaming.
Shadow Queen: Shadow Mario! Are you all right?!
Shadow Mario opens his eyes. They are white.
Shadow Mario: I'M IN PAIN! OF COURSE I'M NOT ALL RIGHT!
Shadow Queen sees that Shadow Mario is clutching his stomach.
Shadow Queen: Honey, it's the wand you ate!
Shadow Mario suddenly stops screaming and lets go of his stomach. He closes his eyes and passes out.
Shadow Queen: The wand must be trying to takeover his body. I must get the wands of the 9 lands.
Shadow Queen picks up Shadow Mario and puts him in his bed.
KASTLE KOOPA
Back at Kastle Koopa, Kamek and Kammy have just finished giving the army the potiona.
Kamek: Let's try the Fakers again.
Kamek creates the Level 6 Fakers. The army fights them and retreats.
Kammy: Try Level 8!
Kamek creates Level 8 Fakers. The army fights and retreats.
Kammy: Keep it going!
Kamek creates Level 9, 10, and 11 fakers. The army defeats the Level 9 and 10 Fakers, but lose to the Level 11s.
Kammy: Closer then last time, but we still won't win.
Kamek: Let’s combine our powers and create more potions!
Kammy: I don't know about that. It took away a lot of magic.
Kamek: But if we wait, the potion will wear off on the army, and then we'll have to use twice as much magic.
Kammy: All right. Just give me an hour to regain some more magic.
Kamek: All right.
Will Kammy regain enough magic for the potions? Will the Koopalings be reunited? What will happen to Shadow Mario? What dangers await on the Koopalings’ quest? Why is Shadow Mario so obsessed with Barney? Will the Shadow Queen get the wands, or will Shadow Mario wake up and go? Find out next chapter, coming to a Lemmy's Land near you!
