Chatper 9 - Super Mario
--------------
The Koopas slowly backed away.
"I wonder..."
Mario held his hand out. A great ball of fire lept from his palm, and bounced along the ground. The koopas fearfully began to flee. Mario lobbed a fireball into a crowd of Koopas. Upon impact, it exploded and sent Koopas flying. Shells littered the ground, smoldering. The remaining Koopas fled as fast as their feet could carry them, toward Bowser's Castle.
"Let's trail 'em!"
Toad shook his head.
"Are you crazy? We'll never be able to sneak into any of Bowser's fortresses, let alone his own home!"
"Guys," Luigi piped in, "Shouldn't we help the other prisoners?"
"Oh, yeah! I'd forgotten about them! Where are the keys?"
A small, elderly man stepped forward.
"We can't begin to thank you for what you've done."
"It's nothing, really!"
Mario, Luigi and Toad went to work, unchaining prisoners. By now, the Koopas had fled far away.
As they approached the castle, two gaurds stopped them. After they confirmed what business they had with Bowser, the gaurds let them pass. They were quickly pushed into Bowser's throne room, where the king waited.
"Welcome back, and congratulations, General." Bowser said, "I trust the prisoners are in their cells as we speak. It sounded like an awfull lot of people to let go to waste."
The General gulped at these words.
"Your highness... About the prisoners.."
Another troopa broke in.
"You shoulda seen it sire! This fat little guy grabbed a fire flower, and absorbed it's powers!! Then he started chuckin' fireballs at us!! It was scary, but kinda cool!"
Bowser glared at the remaining troopas.
"The 40 some troops I sent couldn't contain one fat little man?!"
"King Bowser, sire, he.. he also had this.. awesome jumping ability.. And there was another one, dressed just like him.."
Bowser grabbed the General by his throat.
"Bring them to me. I need to see this, first hand. And if you can't, pray that they kill you, because I WILL!!

My my, it's been a little while, hasn't it?
...And my dear sweet mother, she just looked at me like a cow looks at an oncoming train. She leaned right down next to me, and she said,"IT''S GOOD FOR YOU!!!"
