Chapter 2: The Plan
Morton had a plan of what he was going to do. He was going to disguise himself as a Mushroomer and warn everyone of the alien. When he got enough of them to believe him, he would go back to Dark Land and kick the alien out for good. What he didn’t know was that aliens would invade Plit…
“HELLO!!! I am Morton Toadmush and aliens are invading Plit!” yelled Morton, trying to keep the fake Mushroom hat on. So far he hadn’t got anyone to listen to him.
“GO CRYING TO YOUR MOMMY, WHY DON’T YA?!” a Mushroomer yelled back to him. Everyone laughed at this.
“Nonbelievers!” Morton yelled and pointed at the group of Mushroomers.
The Toads just laughed at this and walked away.
“I’m serious about this!” Morton said.
Morton got off the box he was standing on and walked to the hotel he was sleeping in. He got onto his bed and sighed.
“Why won’t anyone believe me?” he asked himself.
Pretty soon it was night and Morton fell asleep. He was having a nightmare.
“Aliens are invading Earth!” yelled Morton.
“This guy’s a fake!” said one Toad. He jumped up and pulled off Morton’s Mushroom cap. The Toads grabbed pitchforks and torches and started chasing him. Morton ran up a hill. He screeched to a stop and saw that there was lava at the bottom. The Toads were getting closer. He kept on stepping back. Suddenly, he tripped on a rock and tumbled into the lava.
“GAH!!!” Morton gasped as he woke up. “Oh… It was just a bad dream…”
Morton got up and went to try again.
~~~
Mario and Luigi were walking around the village.
“Can we please go home now?” asked Luigi. “We got everything on the list.
“Wait. I see something,” Mario answered.
“Aliens are invading Earth!”
“Eh, let’s listen to this guy,” Mario said.
“Probably one of those hobo Toads trying to get money,” Luigi replied.
“It’s the mentally stupid guy again, boys!” said a Toad. “And we have no use for these tomatoes, so…”
“We must fight back-” A tomato hitting his cheek interrupted Morton.
“Hey, watermelon!”
The Toads grabbed a bunch of fruit and started to throw it at Morton. Morton quickly ran off and into an alley.
“Let’s go to him,” said Luigi.
~~~
“How am I going to tell, persuade, warn them about this?” Morton gasped.
“Hello?”
“YIKES!” shouted the startled Morton who fell over.
“Mamamia! What’s happening?” said the figure.
“Stay back!” said Morton, pointing his wand at them.
“It’s Mario and Luigi!” said Mario.
“Um… This is Morton Toadmush!” fibbed Morton.
“Yeah, sure. Just take off the costume and show us who you really are!” said Luigi.
Morton slowly took off the hat and the glasses.
“You- You’re Morton!” Mario said, looking a little confused.
“King Dad kicked me out because I saw some strange, bizarre stuff in the castle. Then I saw an alien and I chased it and I destroyed a bunch of stuff and then he kicked me out, so here I am right here!” said Morton. For once, he could actually finish his sentence.
Mario and Luigi looked a little puzzled.
“What you’re trying to say is that aliens are invading?” Mario asked.
“Yes, yup, precisely-”
Mario and Luigi started laughing like maniacs.
“Yeah, really!” said Luigi.
“Well then, what is this?” said Morton, showing a scar on his arm that the alien had given him by biting him.
“That doesn’t *gulp* look like any Koopa bite mark I’ve ever seen,” said Mario.
“So, then. What does that make you want to say, but you can’t because you don’t want to admit it because-”
“OK!!! We believe you!” shouted the Bros.
~~~
The Koopalings were sitting in the living room, bored.
“Got any ideas of what to do?” asked Lemmy.
“No,” replied Iggy.
“We could try to capture Princess Peach,” said Wendy.
“Boring…” said Roy. “And besides, we would probably be in crutches when we got out anyways…”
“I know! Wait… That wouldn’t be such a good idea…” said Bowser Jr.
“I hate to say this, but I actually miss Morton…” said Ludwig.
~~~
Morton (or Morton Toadmush) flopped onto his bed after another long day of persuading Toads to believe him. The only people who believed him were Mario and Luigi. He tried to fall asleep. Something was bothering him. He looked out the window and saw a green comet fall out of the sky. He jumped up and ran to the window. It went down into a forest.
Morton got his wand and snuck out of the hotel. He ran out of Toad Town into a clearing in the forest. He found a shattered green orb, but nothing else.
“RAWR!!!”
Morton turned his wand to the noise. A huge, green alien that looked like a huge version of the baby one but with more tentacles jumped out of the trees. Morton fired a fire spell at it. It groaned but got back up. Morton tried to run, but the alien quickly caught up with him, grabbed him by its tentacles, and threw him at a tree. The tree collapsed. Luckily, Morton got into his shell.
Morton got back up and went into his shell again. This time, he tried to ram it. The creature simply took his shell and threw him again. Morton got up, coughing. He fired some more spells. The creature avoided them and tossed Morton up into the air. When Morton was halfway down, it grabbed him, and threw him on the ground.
Morton hit the ground and heard the sickening crunch of a bone. He had broken his leg. The creature saw the advantage and ran towards him. Morton tried to crawl into the forest. When he couldn’t go any further, he took out his wand and tried to fire another spell. The creature knocked his wand out of his reach. The creature then picked him up and threw him into another tree.
~~~
“Come ON… Wake up!” cried a voice.
“Don’t… want to…” Morton said, half asleep.
“It won’t work, Zack. We’re going to have to use the water,” said the voice.
“Uh… Ok!” said Zack.
Morton’s sleep was interrupted by a splash of cold water hitting his face.
“I’M UP!!! I’M UP!!!” Morton shouted as he sat up.
“Come on! Get up! We don’t have all day, ya know,” said a strangely familiar-looking Toad.
“You’re the one who threw the tomato at me!” said Morton.
“Yes I am. Now get up!”
Morton got up, but forgot about the pain in his leg. He fell down in pain.
“I BROKE MY LEG!!!” he screamed.
“This is going to be harder than I thought,” said the second Toad to the one named Zack.
“Duh… Yeah, Mike,” said the fatter Toad.
“Oomph…” said Mike as he tried to lift Morton, though he proved much too heavy for the Toad to lift.
“Duh… Let me help,” said Zack, lifting Morton up.
The Toads carried Morton into the forest.
“This would be so much easier if my car hadn’t broken down…” muttered Mike under his breath.
By the time they had reached the end of the forest, Morton was almost asleep.
“Why are you putting me down here, there-”
“We need to put your disguise on so nobody recognizes ya,” said Mike.
Morton fell asleep while they were putting the costume on.
~~~
Morton was doing his daily “persuasion”. Suddenly, he heard a voice cry out. He looked back and saw a Toad being lifted off of the ground. More and more Toads were being lifted off the ground. Morton looked up. A weird spacecraft was hovering over them, lifting the Toads off the ground with a beam of light.
Morton rushed past the Toads to try to find his wand, which he had left at the hotel. Suddenly, he tripped. A beam picked him up. He was sucked into the spacecraft.
