Chapter One: Discovery of the Party
The Saturday in Kastle Koopa was as loud as it normally was when Larry did his spying.
"LARRY! You are not to see this top secret device!" Ludwig would scream first. It would then be followed by Lemmy's "HEY! This is a private ball-balancing act!", then Roy's "Beat it, squirt, or this punching bag is you," then Wendy's "GET OUT OF MY ROOM!", and lastly, Morton's very long "Larry, I would appreciate, like, prefer, you didn't spy, eavesdrop, look in uninvited, on my practice, preparations, rehearsal, for my speech, lecture..." which would go on.
The only sibling Larry didn't spy on was Iggy, who usually didn't do anything particularly interesting. However, Iggy was actually doing some spying of his own, on everybody at Mario's house. When Larry walked into his room, he noticed the telescope Iggy was using.
"Hey, Iggy!" Larry shouted. "That's MY telescope! Give it back."
"Not now, Larry." Iggy had an unusually snobby tone in his voice. "I'm spying on Mario and... um, his friend."
"Ooh!" Larry suddenly realized he was holding his spare. He pulled out the telescope and looked out the window next to Iggy. He managed to see Professor Elvin Gadd on the second floor of the house. He was in front of a machine with Luigi.
"Oh," Iggy pouted. "I wish I could hear what they were saying."
"Relax. I can read lips." Larry extended his telescope and looked directly at the professor's mouth.
"Luigi, this will be the perfect gift for Mario," E. Gadd presumably said. "I'm sure he'll enjoy that surprise party at Princess Toadstool's Castle, as well."
"Yeah," Luigi replied. "I mean, he really deserves this party after what he's been through."
"Woah!" Larry shouted. Iggy fell back in surprise. "Mario's getting a party at Peach's castle!"
"What for?" Iggy questioned.
"Actually, I'm not quite sure. But Luigi said something about him 'really deserving' it. I guess he's been through hard times lately."
"Gee," Iggy said.
"If he wasn't King Dad's arch-rival, I might actually feel sorry for him."
Chapter Two: A Castle Hassle with an Evil Plan
Mario was in the living room of the Bros' house, reading a book and listening to the TV. For a while, he was actually pretty bored, until eventually from upstairs, he heard an electrical shock.
"Hmm?" Mario said to himself. He walked upstairs, where E. Gadd and Luigi were "doing something so super top secret that we're not even sure what it is". He curiously opened the bedroom door, which Gadd and Luigi had their backs turned to, so they paid no attention to Mario, despite their pleading for him not to come in.
"Luigi!" Gadd cried. "Are you okay, my boy?"
"I'm fine, Professor," Luigi muttered. He was covered in ashes, and so Mario guessed that Luigi had just been electrocuted. Just then, Luigi noticed Mario. "Hey! Get out, Mario!"
"All right, all right," Mario mumbled to his brother. "I just heard a noise, I wanted to make sure everything was fine up here." He noticed some fumes from Luigi's burnt body. "And smoking's not cool."
"Har har," Luigi sarcastically said to Mario. E. Gadd hurriedly shut the door in his face. "We'll let you in at the right time!" he said.
With a special
event coming up, Mario knew that they were probably working on a special
gift for him. "But what...?
Peach groaned. This was the first time she had thrown a party for Mario, and she wasn't so sure it would go well.
Aside from a lack of self-esteem in the situation, Peach had reason to believe the party would go haywire.
First of all, Chef Toadette's cake had a few... extra ingredients in it, and they caused the cake to implode inside the oven. A second one had to be made, but the oven had broken down after some of the frosting had jammed a part inside of it. Also, Toadsworth thought that there were choking hazards involved in wrapping presents, and so he didn't want Peach to do it (despite most choking hazards applying to only toddlers). As a result, he'd borrowed Gadd's mechanical gift wrapper, which soon malfunctioned and started smashing all of Mario's presents. Peach knew something else was bound to go wrong.
Toad walked into her room, unsuccesfully trying to comfort her. "Don't worry, Princess. I'm sure we'll have everything ready when Mario and his friends stop by."
"Oh, Toad..." Peach said politely. "Drop it. You and I both know this party's gonna be a flop."
With that, Toad ran off. Peach's vein started throbbing.
"Argh!" Peach shouted to herself. "Because I can't get this party to come through, I've been upsetting everybody! I worried Toadsworth, I criticized Toadette's cooking skills, and I offended Toad!" She was furious, and when she came out to further direct the workers, she was simply screaming at them and showed no mercy, all because of the anger that had built up inside of her. Toadsworth, who usually was afraid for Peach's safety, was now afraid for his own safety. He ran off behind five Toads that were slacking off and talking about Peach's fit. Their names were Toady, Toadi, Toadie, Toadee, and Clyde.
"Y'know," Toadee said, "it'd be nicer if Peach sort of, well, wasn't being so incredibly irritable today."
"I know," Toadi replied. "I've barely been able to breathe today."
"Why don't we try to stop her?" Toady blurted out.
"Or, rather," Toadie said, "we could stop the person who's the reason for this party."
Clyde was the one Toad left who hadn't yet spoken, and his capability of being able to only speak one-word sentences had caused him to wait until he could answer to this, "Mario?" Then, the Toads let out some more-or-less evil laughter. Some were laughing evilly, some were laughing at Clyde's silly voice.
"Now, hold on!" Toadsworth shouted. Being right behind the five Toads, he'd heard everything they said. "I understand how one would be aggrivated by the princess' behavior, but we musn't cross over to the dark side!"
For a brief moment, the five Toads glared at Toadsworth. Five minutes later, the elderly Mushroom was locked in a closet.
"Now then," Toadee began, "I don't know how we can capture Mario. We're five innocent Toads!"
"Yeah," Toadi agreed. "We're no match for Mario, even combined!"
"Well, maybe we could get an accomplice," Toady thought.
"Right!" Toadie exclaimed. "We'd temporarily have an- uh, what's it called."
"Alliance?" Clyde
asked. Everybody else nodded.
Chapter 3: Bowser's Accomplices
"Peach is doing WHAT?!" Bowser roared when Larry told him about Mario's party.
"Uh, yes," Larry sheepishly uttered. "You see, King Dad, Iggy and I spied on Green Mario, and he mentioned a party for Mario."
"Well," Bowser said, "we'll have to crash it. I'm in a bad mood anyway." He pressed a button on a wall that read "intercom". "KOOPALINGS! MEETING IN THE THRONE ROOM!"
Soon Larry and Iggy saw the other five Koopalings rush in. Roy and Morton came from the same room, and Morton's black eye made it obvious Roy had been pummeling him. Lemmy was being held by the throat by Wendy, whose bow had his ball stuck in it. And Ludwig was covered in ashes, which meant he had failed an experiment.
"All right, kids, listen up. Mario's going to have a party at Princess Peach's Castle later this week, and so we're gonna crash it!" There was mixed reactions. Ludwig laughed in excitement and Lemmy smiled, but the others groaned, preferring to do something else. "QUIET!" Bowser shouted. "Now let's-"
"Hello?" said a high-pitched Toad voice. The Koopas saw a Toad climb in from the Window. You may be able to recognize him as Clyde.
"Hey!" Roy shrieked. "It's a Toad! He's probably here to spy on us!"
"Pardon my Spanish," said another Toad voice, as Toady climbed through the window, "but au contraire." Soon three more Toads- Toadie, Toadee, and Toadi- climbed in after him.
"Isn't that Dutch?" Toadee interrupted.
"It's German!" Toadi shouted.
"No, it's Portuguese!" Toadie guessed.
"HEY!" Lemmy shouted. "What do you Toads want? I bet they want some info on us for Mario, King Dad!"
"Contraire," Clyde said.
"Yes," Toadi said. "Our friend who... has a way with words is right. We're rebellions against the entire Mario Gang.
"And we'd like to join you in destroying Mario."
"Hmm... How can we trust you?" Bowser questioned.
The Toads tried
to explain themselves.
Peach was still flaming at the castle. When she found that five of her Toads were gone, she could barely hold herself in.
"THOSE ROTTEN TOADS!" she shouted. "HOW DARE THEY TRY TO RUIN THE PARTY?!" At this point, Peach didn't know for sure they were actually trying to ruin Mario's party, but she was too angry to reason with herself.
"Princess," E. Gadd said as he came to the castle, "I think Ma-"
"WHAT IS IT, YOU ROTTEN FUNGI- Oh, hi Professor. How's it going with the gift at Mario's house?"
"Actually, the present itself is coming along nicely, but we still have a few kinks to work out. And I think Mario could be on to us. But that's okay, right?"
"RRGGH..."
E. Gadd soon found
himself flying back towards the Marios' house.
Back at Kastle Koopa, the Toads had managed to convince Bowser's family that they were evil in a way that I'd explain, but it happened when we cut to the situation with Peach, and so you'll never know how it worked out.
"All right, King Dad, what's the first order?" Larry asked. The Toads replied with laughter.
"Us," Clyde replied.
"What Clyde means," Toadi said, "is that WE'LL be giving the orders here."
"What?!" Morton said in disbelief. "That's a preposterous, absurd, ridiculous, nonsensible, incompetent decision! We should-"
"We'll trade you Morton for Clyde," Roy interrupted.
"Heh. No," Toadie said. "The first thing we want you guys to do is go to Mario's house and sabotage his gift! It's a mechanical device on the table in his bedroom."
"I'll go!" Morton
volunteered. Everybody agreed with this decision, and quickly booted him
out of the castle.
Back at Mario's house, Luigi and Gadd were working hard on the present.
"I'm hungry, Professor," Luigi said. "Can we go downstairs for a lunch break?"
"Okay," Gadd replied. They left the room, just as Morton came flying through the window. He looked at the present, and all the loose tools next to it.
"Now I must sabotage, wreck, destroy this present, gift, uh... free thingy... yeah. Um... talk talk talk!"
Downstairs, Mario was watching the Mushroom Capital News Channel.
"I'm here in front of Kastle Koopa," the Toad reporter said, "and approximately an hour and twenty minutes ago, Bowser's son Morton Koopa Jr. was blasted out by a Bullet Blaster. He was suspiciously sent in the direction of local hero Mario Mario's house, as well as... er... Linguini Mario..."
"AIGH!" screamed Luigi.
"Hee hee," Gadd chuckled. "Looks like I'm the only one who gets your name, buddy."
"This is even more suspicious," the reporter continued, "due to the fact that Professor Elvis Tadd was there at this same time."
"WHAT?!" Gadd shouted.
"Uh," Mario uttered. "I'm gonna go check upstairs to see if everything's all right..."
He ran up to his bedroom before an argument broke out. When he got up there, he saw the window open, and noticed Morton running off. "Hoo boy..."
