Preparations
(Celistar and Wes are quickly walking through Tropix City. Every once in a while, a walker-by stares at Celistar…and then also quickly walks away.)
THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM
Celistar: So…THIS is Tropix City. I’ve read so much about it…during my classes. This is where the planes that go to Isle Delfino start, right?
Wes: Yes…there’s an airport area next to the city. It’s very popular.
Celistar: Hey…don’t you think we could take an airplane to Koopa City? That’s practically in the Barren Lands…and that leads directly to Bowser’s Castle!
Wes: Too bad we’d need passports…and that would lead to Identity Cards…
Celistar: Oh…yeah. Well, couldn’t we fake one? Give fake names…change our looks a little…
Wes: The Airport Guards will have gotten word of your disappearance…
Celistar: Remember that I “died”?
Wes: They’ll still look for you. Just in case you DID survive…
Celistar: …Which I did. Ugh! I suppose we will have to take that long walk…
Wes: Are you seeing the insanity of your plan now? Ready to stay here?
Celistar: No! Toadbert…
Wes: And you’re the princess…if you die…
Celistar: I could die…or I could save Toadbert, and we’d both stay alive.
Wes: Are you brave…or stupid?
Celistar: Oh be quiet! The only reason we’re here is to get supplies anyway. Then we’re on the open road.
Wes: Yeah…the Klapra Mountains…that criminal cesspool…ugh…
Celistar: Come on. They’ve got to have a store of some kind, around here…
(Switch to Bowser’s Castle, Dungeons. Camera moves across. Residents inside the cages include rebel Koopas, a few Toads, and an insane Shy Guy, and finally, Toadbert, sitting, depressed and desperate.)
Toadbert: It’s so cold. It’s…it’s so cold. And…it only gets colder. The murky wetness…covering the floor…yet the walls…they are so dry…it’s so disturbing…ugh…its’…it’s all symbolism! SYMBOLISM! EVERYTHING IS SOMETHING ELSE! EVERYTHING IS A LIE! CAKE CAKE!
Koopa Guard: Ha ha! You must be the fastest case I’ve ever seen! It only took you 8 hours to go nuts! (Starts to open door)
Toadbert: Cake?
Koopa Guard: No. I’m taking you to the Torture Room, where you’re going to tell a friend of mine everything you know…or you get to have your fingernails pulled out.
Toadbert: Mmm…okay!
Koopa Guard: Come on!
(The Koopa Guard quickly ties a rope around Toadbert’s neck, and drags him to the room. It’s depressing, and disturbing. There is blood almost everywhere, and in the middle of the room, and a grinning Goomba is (strangely) sitting up.)
Goomba: Well…our newest prisoner…who I’m sure will tell us everything we need to know.
Toadbert: Hmm!
Koopa Guard: Heh heh. He just went insane. That potion you have…you sure it’ll work?
Goomba: Yes, yes. As I’ve told you now about 12 times, the Speckian Concoction is a complex formula that shifts brain cells, so that they temporarily go back to normal.
Koopa Guard: Yeah…well, have fun, Dr. Speckian. Remember…King Bowser has ordered that the prisoner be put to the most painful machines. Lord Bowser has lost faith in his Apprentice…and he needs this information. …By the way, you should put this guy in your new head crusher.
Dr. Speckian: Maybe I will…no matter what, this will be fun! Now then…
(He pulls out a strange test tube from his lab coat.)
Dr. Speckian: Ready to tell me how to pass the Kingdom’s defenses?
(A long scene features Mushroom City, with hundreds of Mushroom Castle Guards entering. Under Peach’s Order’s, they demand all Koopas come with them. Some willingly come. Some fight. Some run, and are caught. Some get away. But most are dragged and stuffed into the Castle Dungeons. Most of the Toad’s feel sick inside, and wonder what they are doing. But, after all, it is Peach’s Orders. Night falls. One Koopa, escaping from a group of Toad’s, runs into an alley. The darkness is overwhelming, and as he moves on…)
???: …o…
Koopa: What? Wha-?
(A dark form leaps out…and attacks the Koopa. The screen instantly blacks out.)
TO BE CONTINUED…?
