Part 3: The Prophesy
Planet of the Shroobs, Future
???: Mario! Luigi! Wake up!
Mario and Luigi woke with a start. They were in a cave with a controlled fire as the only source of light. But it lit up the entire room.
???: Good thing I’ve found you! I knew the time would soon come when you could not be saved...
Luigi: Who are you?
???: I’m sorry, my name is Profasy. I am an inhabitant of this planet.
Mario: But you are not a Shroob! You’re a human!
Profasy: Are there not more inhabitants on your planet than just humans? It’s the same for every planet. And no, I am not a human, but very close. I am known as a hurg. Our only difference is how we grow. I, for instance, became full grown in two years. You humans take maybe 20 years to be full grown.
Luigi: Where are there more hurgs?
Profasy sighed.
Profasy: There are none, besides me. Well, none still thinking for themselves. They’ve all been brainwashed.
Mario: By the Shroobs.
Profasy: No, Mario. The Shroobs aren’t evil, except the royalty; just ruthless. The ones that came to your world were the army. The army is Shroobs that are a little crazy and violent. The hurgs have been controlled by something much worse...
Mushroom Kingdom
Peach: Are you sure?
Twink: I’m sorry, Peach. I looked again and again, and I couldn’t find anything. I’m sorry.
Eclair: You will have to go back to the Shroob world.
Peach: Oh, well keep the Babies here...
Then Twink started groaning in pain and fell to the floor.
Eclair: Twink! Are you all right?
The Babies picked up the book of spells and started playing with it.
Peach: Twink? Can you speak?
Twink: I feel it... It’s all coming... back... The prophesy... Look for that name... Profasy...
Twink got up and breathed hard.
Twink: Something happened to me. Remember before when I found Mario?
Peach: And you were hurt...
Twink: I couldn’t remember why I was hurt... Now I’m starting to remember. Go back to Lewfuts. That’s the name of the Shroob planet. Lewfuts. Look for Profasy. She’s a hurg... It’s like a human.
So Peach nodded and jumped into the time hole.
Lewfuts Present
Fawful looked at the scroll of paper one more time. The words on it were starting to make sense. It was all coming together.
As it should.
Fawful stepped out of the small, battered building and walked away back to the kingdom.

Peach jumped out of the time hole and walked towards her castle. When she went in, she ran up to the guard.
Peach: Where is the place that a hurg might reside?
Shroob Guard: Why would you want to put yourself in danger?
Peach: I need to talk to one of them.
Shroob Guard: It’s directly behind the castle.
So Peach walked there and came to a cave.
Profasy: I will read you the prophesy now...
Thrice you
have attacked and have been beaten
The time has
come to follow this list
Fury go to
2nd place meetin’
Of color red
and green, their memories in mist
Take the youth
and give to Princess,
Now reborn,
or so it seemed,
This princess
is an enemy.
Her name a
fruit and she bravely changed,
Into her most
demised and loathed,
To save youth
and go into city of deranged.
Her journey
of this ends when given youth, both.
Little does
she know,
Youth given
by her foe,
Is one who
will power into grow.
The princess
is shocked to hear:
She is stuck
as princess anew.
But then that
teller faints, as if struck from the rear.
Groan he will
and tell to sometime to find, and who.
The who is
with the brothers old.
The who has
saved them from their place of mold,
Her thoughts
as pure as gold.
The teller
of bad news is regaining conscious,
Of he was
hurt and in pain.
And how a
demised is being launched,
His memories,
driving him insane.
He was once
beauty split into many parts
Then trapped
in conditions he had to swelter
Then collected,
by pure hearts,
Was used as
a time welder.
Fury has switched
the spells.
That is how
the ending is done
Find the other
spell.
Before fury
brings back who has been undone
Mario: Who made that prophesy?
Profasy: No one made the prophesy; it was told, and it was told by me. Hurgs are magical creatures. Someone is named for something he or she is destined to do. My name is Profasy, which sounds strikingly similar to what I tell, prophesies. I was chosen for this when I was born, and have had the special gift of predicting the future. But I cannot change the course of the future; I am just able to see it. I have trances where I ramble off a prophesy, and every one has been true.
Luigi: What do we do?
Profasy smiled.
Peach: Mario? Luigi?
Mario: MAMAMIA! It’s... It’s...
Profasy: Princess Peach. She has been changed, by her own choice.
Luigi: Princess?
Peach: Luigi! Mario!
Mario: Princess!
Profasy: Well, now that we are all together, it is time to plan. We need to bring down the greater enemy. But that enemy is not on this planet, as one might think, but in a neighboring kingdom, one that all of you have visited before.
Peach: You don’t mean...
Profasy: The Beanbean Kingdom.
