"Mario!" cried peach from below. "watch out for the parakoopa!
But she was just barely too late. Mario crashed into a passing parakoopa and fell to the ground.
He picked himself up. He looked at the parakoopa. he was a bit strange looking.
"Oh No!" he cried jumping around. "My wings! Now I'll never get to the king!"
"king?" asked mario.
"yes! He needs this urgent package!"
"I didn't know dinosaur land had a king." said Luigi, who had just landed.
"He recently conquered us. Now, if you could help me-"
"Conquered you!? That's what we're for!"
"yeah!" said luigi, "wer'e the Mario Brothers! We do stuff like this for a living!"
"oh, you don't have to go to so much trouble as tto overthrow an evil tyrant. if you could just give me a lift to-"
"Look, if all of dinosaurland is being oppressed, then we really should step in and help."
"Oh I don't mean to impose."
"Oh, not at all."

"Where did you say this guy's castle was?" asked Luigi.
"Over the cookie mountain. through the forest of Illusion. Across the soda lake, into the mouth of the giant stone koopa. there's a run down castle there. He stays there. Where he oversees the progress of a supersecret weapon, that he plans to use to destroy all nations that stand in his way!"
"okay then." said mario, "Looks like we're going to need some transportation." he said.
He led them to a place where three trees grew to form a rooflike structure. there was a fireplace, a mailbox, and a comfortable looking armchair.
"Yoshi!" cried mario. Luigi, Mario, and the koopa spread out to look but Yoshi was nowwhere to be found. The koopa picked up a peice of paper and looked at it for a while. then he threw it into the fire place.
"what was that?" asked mario.
"Oh it was just a note from yoshi."
Mario and luigi turned and quickly fished the note out of the fire. it was burned a bit but still mostly intact. it read:
If you find this note, please help us! We are in terrible trouble. He has captured most of us. Please. the only way to defeat him is-
The rest of the note was burned off.
"This is terrible!"
"I'll say! His handwriting is like chicken scratch!"
"No! Not that! The yoshis!"
"Oh. That too."
"Now what do we do?"
"I guess we have to go to the valley of bowser, on foot."

Mario and luigi moved onward to the Doughnut Plains. Capes were abundant there. and, luigi managed to remember a shortcut they took, before.
"Through the star road! there should be a giant key hole around here somewhere!"
"But to get there we would have to go through the doughnut ghost house!" cried the koopa.
"So?" said mario. nothing in there but boos."
"Have you ever been in a ghost house before?"
"Uhh... Yeah. we're the mario brothers."
"then you know about the floating green bubbles and huge disembodied eyes and flying books and evil monster pianos and the music that plays in the basement all the time!"
"yep."
"wait!" said luigi. "Don't tell me you are afraid of ghost houses!"
"well, who isn't? all that silly cartoon horror is just...too much for me to handle."
Luigi sighed. "how are we going to get him through?"
"I have an idea." said the cowardly koopa. "why don't we just go AROUND the house.

This is a great story so far. I was awaiting another part.
I tried to write a Mario fanfic. Once. It took up 55 pages in a spiral notebook and had 3 endings. Most of it was written between 10pm-1am for about 2 weeks. It was hilarious, but the problem was that it had way too many real world refrences in it.
Some of which included: The Weakest Link, White Castle, The Weekly World News, a made up place called "Sam's Pool Hall", and even my major evil character was completely made up. (I named him Jack.) I'd say the plot, but it really doesn't exist. Kind of. In fact, I think I'll read it today for a laugh. (I wrote it about 6 months ago.)
Ah well, that veered hopelessly off-topic.
I don`t suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.

"But the Warp Zone doesn't extend to Dinosaur Land! It's only in the Mushroom Kingdom!" said Luigi.
"I can help," said Krystal.
Then, Mario said "Go get your own story."
"Hmm, maybe I will!" Said Krystal and she flew back to the Great Fox.
(The above can either be considered part of the story, or, it can be considered a shameless plug for a story I am thinking about writing.)

"Around the ghost house?! Are you insane? That would be like...like....no, wait. yeah that's a good idea. wish I'd thought of it myself." mario said.
They moved forward to the star pad that would take them to the star road. there were five of these, scattered throughout dinosaur land. Why there were none in the Mushroom kingdom they had no idea.
"Allright. Everybody stand on the pad. don't move around too much. and keep your hands and arms inside the train at all times!" luigi joked.
the pad began to shake. the world around them seemed to spin faster and faster until it was all just a big blur. and then, they shot off into the sky.
When the pad stopped spinning, they stepped off. the new scenery was beautiful. everything was in various shades of blue. there were a few small hills with eyes (something that no longer surprised them), and one big one in the center of the huge starshaped island. the stars were big and bright. almost touchable."woooohoo! Lets do that again!" said the koopa. but they had things to do.
They heard a voice. a rather loud voice. a very familiar voice. "Well look who it is!"
Mario and luigi turned to each other and mouthed at the same time, "Bowser."
"Long time no see, eh boys? well not you. I saw you not too long ago. but you! boy, I thought you were dead! But on to more important matters. I am here on this miserable continent, for this!"
He held up his hand. in it was a large yellow rock.
Mario and luigi spun their fingers around the ears.
"don't think I didn't see that! This is a mineral mined deep within the vanilla dome. It is called Vanillium! it has a power so great, it could easily destroy all of dinosaur land!"
"and you want to use it to destroy the mushroom kingdom! we're not gonna sit there and let you!"
"do you think I hadn't counted on you? I have something special planned for you! Get em!" all of a sudden, throngs of koopa guards raced out and attempted to capture them.
"Hey mario! Remember the capes we brought?"
"yeah."
"Well, now's a good time to use them!"

Mario got a good running start and flew into the sky.
"Lakitu patrol! Get that one!"
Lakitus riding in clouds flew out in mario's direction.
Meanwhile on the ground, luigi was twirling around, whacking spinies and koopas with his cape. He jumped on a mechakoopa, squishing it temporarily. he picked it up and tossed it at bowser. It knocked him silly for a split second.
"why you!" He ran out to luigi, and tried to swipe at him.
He jumped and got him in the face with his shoe.
Luigi knew how dangerous an angry turtle dragon could be.
He took to the air, joining his brother.
"I have an Idea! On the count of three, pound the ground! One! Two! Three!"
They plummeted toward the ground, releasing the bottom of their capes.
"WHAM"
All the koopas and mechakoopas within a good radius were turned upside down.
Mario and Luigi turned to bowser.
Now, Bowser wasn't the smartest lizard in the world, but he knew that when he could barely handle one Mario brother. Two was out of the question.
"I'm not in the mood to deal with you now! But I'll get to you eventually! And I won't be alone!" He disapeared completely.
"Hey! Where's-"
"help, Ive fallen down and I can't get up!"
They turned to their koopa freind. when they hit the ground, he had turned over with all of the other koopas.
"Well, now we know who's behind this!"
"Who? oh, him? He's just a flunky."
Mario and luigi's jaw nearly hit the ground. Who could be tough enough to boss around bowser?!

Why?
Something I call the "White Castle and Billairds Clause". What is this? Well...
1. If I do a FanFic about Mario, he or some other major character in the story will likely do some crazy real world things, like... eating White Castles ... or playing Billiards.
2. If you want your stories as close to accuate about Mario as possible, don't ask me to continue them.
I have made ONE and only ONE Mario FanFic. In it the major evil character:
1. Eats it just about every major Fast Food restaurant made in the real world;
2. Gets the newest edition of the Weekly World News... twice;
3. Watches the Weakest Link, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?, and Wheel of Fortune on TV;
4. Plays billiards (OF COURSE! Can't have a Mario story without billiards...);
5. Mario says "Shuddap-a yo mouth!" in a stereotypical Italian accent about 5 times in the story;
6. The major evil character leaves his kidnapping note on a STATIONARY he found in his pickup truck. (This alone should leave you scratching your heads.)
And that's a sample of the real world and totally off-the-wall occurences in my stories. So no, if you want to make it as "Mario" as possible, I'm not really the one to ask.
Everyone has their own opinions, no matter how WRONG they are.

Mario and luigi, pondered about their newest enemy.
Mario jumped on the green, springy, limb of a strange tree, and bounced to the top of it. he then hopped onto a floating platform, and leapt from that, over a pidget bill, onto solid ground. The others followed. they kept going until the reached a sign that said, "star pad No 5. just ahead. beware of koopa centuruions."
"What's a koopa centurion?"" asked mario.
"I dunno." said luigi. "I don't think we've ever encountered them before."
"They're the new elite branch of the dark koopa army."
"Oh great!" that's just what we need. More, stronger koopas."

"Look out!" cried their koopa freind.
Mario and luigi looked up and saw two koopas with large flowing wings, and sunglasses. in there arms they carried large weapons. one carried what appeared to be a ball and chain. the other had a spiked club.
They looked angry.
The one with the club swooped low and swiped his club at luigi. He jumped out of the way.
The one with the ball and chain landed and swung it around in circles. the chain seemed to grow longer with each each swing. mario couldn't get near him. he needed something he could throw. He looked at his surroundings. nothing. then, he saw the good, if confused, koopa running in circles, not knowing what to do. soon, he would be in the range of the ball. and one hit with that thing would kill him. Mario darted out and quickly stomped on him. causing him to recede into his shell. mario picked up the shell and ran as fast as he could away from the ball and chain centurion. He suddenly got an idea.
"Stay in there!"
"What? Why? Hold on a-"
Mario kicked the koopa shell at the centurion, this caught him off guard, and he could do nothing. the shell knocked him out of his own shell, and caused him to let go of the ball and chain, which snapped back to it's original length. Mario approached the ,now defenseless, centurion.
*STOMP*
Luigi now had his centurion to deal with. He kept jumping out of the way of his club. Luigi circled around and ran to pick up the dropped ball and chain. It wasn't near as light as one would think. He struggled with it until he finally got the hang of swing it.
When the club centurion saw the ball coming, he lifted his club. The chain wrapped itself around it. luigi pulled the chain. the club came out of the centurions hands. but when the ball and chain, elasticaly tried to return to it's normal length, the club and the ball, both came toward luigi. he threw it away.
The friendly koopa was finally getting over his dizziness. he stood up straight. All of a sudden he saw the ball, chain, and club flying at him.
*BONK* He was out cold again.
The centurion was without a weapon. he took off his own shell and threw it at luigi. it missed it's target just barely. he stepped on it, and with his right foot, pushed it rather like one would a skateboard. he rammed into the centurion, who expired immediately.
Mario and luigi went to help their friend.
"You all right?"
The koopa was still dizzy.
"Yeah." He rsponded.
"You saved my life back there!" said mario.
"Really? So i'm like... a hero?"
"Yep, couldn'ta done it without ya!"
"That's great." he fell over again.

"Uggh! My head!" complained luigi. he looked up to see the ball of light hovering around his head.
"Oh! I thought you were another one of those koopas!"
"Do I look like a koopa!?" said mario, clutching his stomach.
"Hey! I remember you! Mario!"
"Umm... have we met?"
"It's me! £Æ’?!."
"I'm sorry can you repeat that?"
"Oh! I'm Geno!"
"Geno? I didn't recognize you when you weren't... y'know... a doll."
"This is my true form."
Luigi had been listening to this conversation, a little confused.
"Who is he?" he asked luigi.
"He helped us when smithy's gang invaded dark land."
"Oh! I stayed at home when that happened, didn't I?"
"Yeah, I think so."
Luigi turned to geno. "Pleased to meet you. I would shake your hand but...uh..."
"It's okay. So what brings you to star road?"
"Overthrowing an evil despot."
"sounds like fun."
"Your welcome to come along."
"Why thank you. Say, I don't believe I've met your friend."
"I'm... I'm... well I'm just a generic koopa."
The four of them approached the star pad, and boarded. the world began to spin again and they were off.

When the got off the star pad, they were in the dark underground valley known as "Valley of bowser." They approached the large stone door, which slid open when they came close.
When they got inside, they saw a magikoopa with a black hat and cloak in the hall. when he saw them, he tookoff down the hall, and into one of the many doors.
"where did he go?" asked geno.
"Let's split up." said luigi.
"Hey, I can't go anywhere in here by myself!" screamed the koopa. But nobody heard him. they had all scrambled into the three of the doors. the koopa took a deep breath, and opened the remaining door.

Just then a boo, not a very large one but still a boo, came through the floor. mario's initial reaction was to stare at it, but this didn't seem to be doing anything. In fact, the boo didn't even seem to notice him. He theorized that the boo was, like the door, just a trick. but he wasn't willing to test his theory, in case ihe was wrong. that could result in losing his cape. He saw another door and cautiously tried to open it. the same thing happened. soon the room was filled with fake mechakoopas and ninjis. with other miscellaneous things appearing and dissappearing. it was insane.
A large image of bowsers head appeared in the center of the room.
"How are you doing, mario? you're probably wondering why this room is filled with monster mirages. this room uses something created by my employer, called a hologram, to make fake monsters that look like real ones. Since it must be very advanced technology to you, I'll explain. A hologram is a three demensional(we call it "3-D" for short) picture. you see, when we see a real object, we are looking at it with both eyes. one eye sees one veiw, and the oither eye, another. so when two "mechanical eyes"(we call them "cameras") project two different views of an image, it makes it look like a "3-D" object. Brilliant isn't it?"
"But how is any of this gonna hurt me?" asked mario.
"Good question. These enemies alone can't hurt you, but what happens if I let a few REAL enemies into the room? Let's find out!"
as soon as he had said it, enemies appeared in the room.
"Gotta go see how your friends are doing! Ta ta!" the bowser head dissapeared.
Luigi jumped over the head of a chargin' chuck. He hated these guys. especiall the multiplying ones. These were kicking footballs and throwing basesballs at him. You wouldn't think it would hurt but it did all the same. When he had cleared all the chucks out. He noticed that the room had no visible ceiling. Just and endless wall. He bashed open a "?" block to reveal a power balloon. He had no way to go but up, so he grabbed it.
His body filled itself with a lighter than air gas and he was off.
In the darker higher level of the room, luigis ballon began to deflate. He held his breath as long as he could but he invitably transformed back to his thin self again, and he started to fall!
The koopa had found himself in a watery place filled with rip van fish that were sleeping on crumbly flashing blocks. One false move and he could wake one up. What's more, he didn't know how to swim!

He looked in the corners of the room, but he could see nothing. no cameras. no red lights. nothing. He was really puzzled. Bowser didn't even have this kind of technology until now. how did he know how to hide it so well. Mario tried attacking the enemies. nothing in the room was safe from his cape. He spun as fast as he could, passing through some fake enemies and destroying some real ones. He always seemed to hit a real one every few seconds no matter how long he spun. there seemed to be an endless stream of enemies coming into the room.
Then, mario had an idea. the real enemies were getting into the room somehow. maybe he could get out the same way...
Luigi stretched out his arms and grabbed a row of yellow blocks. he pulled himself up. there was absolutely no way he was getting down in one piece. and going up wasn't an option either.
He did a spin jump on the blocks. one of them broke, almost causing him to fall. another of them however held something quite interesting, a switch with a large "P" on it. Luigi pressed it with his foot and lo and behold, a staircase of brown blocks appeared. luigi hurried up to the top.
The koopa Walked slowly along the bottom of the watery place. if he had his wings he could simply fly to the other side. but he was moving as slowly as a turtle, and he knew, after all, he had dated one. he had no fear of waking the fish, he couldn't if he wanted to, and they wouldn't see him as a threat anyway, but he had other things to worry about. he saw some red spike tops coming toward. he had no chance of going past them and certainly couldn't fight them.
"I gotta be brave! I gotta be strong! I gotta- I gotta hide!" He pulled himself inside his shell.
Geno followed the magikoopa into a room with a floor covered in lava with three bridges made of crumbly yellow blocks. the magikoopa saw the yellow ball of light and chittered in a strange mumbly language. he zapped several yellow blocks, turning them into mecha koopas.

"Hey! He got outta the room!" cried iggy.
"I say we take 'im down!" said morton, who was short,bald and had a star-shaped tatoo on his face.
"We gotta tell king dad!" said larry koopa.
"mario chased them into another room. this one was very familiar. it was very dark. there was a glowing orb hanging from the ceiling. mario slammed his fist against the red switch that turned the lights on or off.
He saw a group of small but lethal ninji assassins coming toward him.
They hooted and hollered and screamed, while doing stupid looking choreographed kung fu moves.
Mario kicked one and it fell over and began to cry.
"He's much too powerful even for secret ninji training! retreat!"
The koopa moved slowly to the warp pipe in order to prevent being seen. he climbed up into the pipe only to realize that it was pumping water into the room. he was thrown up onto the surface and out of the water. he landed on a platform, with a red door on it...

Geno flew in a circle around the many mecha koopas, being able to do little but slam himself into them, which did nothing.
He used a technique taught to him by the star spirits of star haven. he spun around a specific mechakoopa and seemingly disapeared.
The black cloaked magikoopa laughed in his high-pitched voice. but one of the the mechakoopas fell through a block and landed next to the magikoopa, who hadn't commanded any such thing.
"what are you doing, you shouldn't be able to think independantly!"
"You've chosen the wrong person to sick an army of dolls on!" said the mechakoopa, despite lack of a moving mouth.
The magikoopa tried to run but tripped over his long robe. when geno caught up with him, he paid the price of his overconfidence. for geno uused his claws to destroy the magician's wand and kicked him into the lava.
then, he proceeded to a red door.
Finally the four of them were reunited on top of the highest tower. they were met by not one, but eight powerful koopas. Each stood ready to fight, and what a fight it would be!
"You'll never defeat us punks!"
"we will rock you!"
"We hate you, openly and without regret!"
"We've owed you this for a long time!"
"There's no way you two can escape."
"And your friends can't help you!"
"G'bye sweeties!"
"It ends here Marios!" finished bowser, his loyal children behind him.
The four companions stood their ground, even the koopa fought the instinct to run and hide.

Geno, in his mecha koopa form clawed at them but only being a fake clockwork kkopa, he was quickly disposed of. his mechakoopa body was thrown away, leaving him a big ball of light. very inadequate for fighting something as powerful as bowsers seven kids.
Geno nonetheless showed his bravery by throwing himself into them one at a time.
The koopa saw that this wasn't going to work. he got an idea.
Just as geno was about to ram iggy while lemmy was coming to attack them, the koopa grabbed geno in the palm of his hand and threw him as hard as he could. this knocked iggy unconscious for precious seconds while he came back to the koopa's hand, again he was thrown, and again he reached his target.
The mario brothers and bowser were fighting feircly, and bowser was stomping and fire-breathing and generally going insane. They kept their head and tried not to freak out. his attacks weren't hard to avoid if you knew what you were doing. even when he began to throw hammers, he was still not hard to dodge. it was actually getting to him that was the problem.

Mario charged at bowser, shoulder out(something he had seen wario do) and, at the expense of his cape, hit bowser in the gut. bowser clutched his stomache. Mario had knocked the breath out of him. Luigi jumped in front of mario, who had nothing to protect himself with, and tried to fight from the front. then, mario noticed that because bowser was focusing all his attacks on luigi, his back was left open, save for his shell. Mario's eyes instantly fell upon his tail, poking out from under his shell.
Mario darted out from behind his brother and reached bowser's tail. Grabbing it, he spun around in circles, faster and faster.
Luigi guessed what he was doing and shouted,"guys! get outta the way!"
Geno and the koopa did as they were told. the koopa kids, however, had no idea what was going on. They figured it out too late as their father came flying toward them, screaming like alittle girl! It was more humiliating than anything but also quite painful(after all, you'd be in great pain too if a 600-some-odd pound koopa with a spiked shell was tossed on top of you).
Mario, Luigi, Geno, and the Koopa, all laughed at the site of it!
"This is it!" cried bowser, getting up and shaking the dust from himself, "I won't take it anymore,vanillium or no. I quit! That other guy has no idea who he's messing with. what was I thinking..." and other such stuff as he and his children flew away in their clown copter.
"Allright!" cried mario! "But remember," said luigi, being sensible, "The real enemy will be much tougher!"
"we can handle him!" said mario!

They stopped to rest at the opening of a small cave, the opening of which was shaped like Bowser's head. "It looks kinda like the opening to the valley if you take the route through soda lake." commented the koopa.
"Yeah." said mario. "how 'bout that?"
"Bowser certainly has vanity issues, doesn't he?" said geno.
Luigi looked at the eyes of the sculpure. It sent chills up his back. Bowsers statues and paintings were hideous, almost terrifying. But bowser himself was well... not. Maybe he put them up to feel scary or something.
When they were all rested, they decided to explore the tunnel. It was dark but geno provided light. The tunnel began with a long rocky corridor. It didn't look man-made. as they progressed, the walls flattened out and it almost looked as if it was made for someone to live in. or at least use very often. The walls were covered in beautifuly detailed carvings of the different races that occupied Dinosaur Land. There were Goombas, Koopas, Rhino dinos, Reznors, wigglers, and of course yoshis. It was definitely not bowser's work.
"This really is quite pretty." said geno.
"Yeah! This one looks like someone spent a lot of time on it." said the koopa, pointing at an especially pretty carving of a yoshi.
"Unfortunately for you, they'll be the last beautiful thing your eyes will see." said a voice.

"I am Botaikulonwusakiachimmychimmychunga!"
"Wha-?" said the four confused companions.
"Bob. Just call me Bob."
"I sympathise." said geno.
"well, bob, what makes you think that we won't get outta here?"
"because I am going to personally make sure of it."
"Ha! You alone against four of us?" said mario confidently.
"Three of us." said the koopa, running to hide.
"oh no you don't! Your sticking this one out!" said mario grabbing the koopa's tail.
"actually, I could beat ten of you I'm sure, but this will keep me occupied for a while."
"Your awful confident of yourself."
"He should know." Luigi said to geno, so mario couldn't hear.
"Keep in mind that it's nothing personal. You seem like really nice people. It's a shame I have to destroy you."
"Look, are you going to fight or spout off more witty remarks to establish your character?"
"Just a few more. ahem. You have no doubt noticed these carvings."
"Yes, they're very beautiful." said geno.
"Thank you. I did them myself. Each one represents a race that lives in dinosaur land. I love to create things. I have more carvings further up the hall but unfortunately you will never get to see them. Shall we begin?"
"Finally." said mario
Mario Jumped toward him in an attempt to tackle him. Bob leapt high into the air, causing mario to fly under him and hit the floor.
"I wasn't sure that would work. You Mario brothers are supposed to be famous for jumping."
Mario charged, but then jumped as high as he could and would have nailed him-If he were there.
Bob stood where he was. he hadn't moved.
"you're very silly."
The koopa quickly picked up geno, and threw him at Bob. Bob seemed to feel it coming at spun around to grab geno. He threw him back to the koopa, who, on impact, instantly pulled himself inside his shell. geno lay on the ground, unconscious from the force of the blow. Mario attacked head on, but of course bob was far too fast. and before long mario lay on his back.
Luigi ran to help his fallen brother.
"mario!"
"Luigi! I hurt my back! You take him!"
"What? I don't think so."
"I'll help as soon as I get back on my feet. Besides, You're faster taller, and you can jump higher. you should keep him distracted until the rest of us can help."
"But you're the one who always saves the day. You have adventures, not me!"
"That's cause ya never wanna leave the darn house! Now fight him!"
"oh yeah." said luigi.
He got up and faced bob. He was eye level with him, unlike mario.
Luigi used quick, hit-and-run attacks, instead of the forceful lounges and and tackles mario used. Luigi, being faster than mario, did much better and lasted much longer than his brother, and actually got a few hits on Bob. But it takes more than a few good hits to take someone out and soon Luigi realized he couldn't do it alone. He saw geno stirring and the koopa crawling out of his shell. Bob saw Luigi turn his head to them. Luigi had to keep him from seeing them get up! Luigi used his cape to spin into Bob. Bob put his attention temporarily to Luigi and punched him down. All of a sudden he felt something hit him in the back of the head. soon the three of them were upon him. He fought hard to shake them off but they were like three little kids pounding on him. finally they had him down on the ground.
"This is so embarassing! I had hoped I'd never have to use this!" he said, reaching into his pocket.
"a fire flower!" he said.
He picked them off one by one with it.
I noticed that one of my adverbs looked like a curse word. couldn't have that, now could I?
Gotta go! Ciao!

Bob. jumped back and sprayed a wide stream of fire in all directions, consuming Luigi and the koopa. Geno however, was hurt but coudn't catch fire.
"You can't use a fire flower! That's cheating!" said the koopa.
"You guys were just attacking me three to one a second ago! And besides, there are no rules here.
Crap! I gotta get off.

"Now. said mario. Who are you working for?"
"I haven't the slightest idea. He realays his messages through my superiors."
"Superiors! There's more of you guys?"
"Many more. I am one of the strongest but there is one above me."
"Who."
"They call themselves the "axem rangers"."
Mario stood for a while. He and geno had faced the Axems before. They were tough. and persistant.
"What are we gonna do with him?" asked the koopa.
"I dunno." said mario. "we can't let him follow us."
"We can't kill him."
"yes, you can't kill him." said bob.
"hmmmm."
mario picked up another, larger, rock and whacked him over the head.
"nice." said luigi.
"Let's go!" said mario.

"I'm pooped" said the koopa.
"Me too." said luigi.
"we probably should rest for the night." mario agreed. "I'm just worried about what monsters may be down here."
"Why don't we take turns guarding?" said the koopa."If something attacks us, whoever's guarding can wake the others."
"that's a good idea." said mario.
"I'll take the first watch." said geno, who wasn't really very tired.
They slept well that night. Nothing attacked them. In fact, noone had even heard a sound when they were guarding (except mario's snoring).
When they woke up (it was hard to tell if it was morning because, like the valley of bowser, it was constantly dark no matter what time of day it was), they began to walk toward the castle. geno floated beside mario.
"Mario, I have to tell you something."
"What?"
"Last night, I was called away by the star spirits of star haven."
"What?"
"I have to go. I have something important I have to do. I promise I'll come back to help you guys as soon as possible."
"where are you going?"
"to star haven. I am not alowed to explain any further."
"We can't beat the axem rangers and whoever might be in that castle without you!"
"actually, you have been doing quite well without me. I have been almost useless in most of the fights we've been in."
"well, If you have to go, hurry back!"
Geno left later that day, but promised that if he could be of any help when he finished he would.

The castle was much easier to see now, and much bigger than it looked from so far away.
It was a white castle, with a huge drawbridge in front. They assumed that there would be a moat.
"A moat! Of course! Bowser never had a moat! Why does there have to be a moat!" grumbled mario. He was obviously in a bad mood.
Grrr! I'll never finish the story at this rate!
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
Post by: gunblade88 on May 13, 2003, 07:40:23 PM
When the group approached the moat, they noticed that it was made from lava.
Mario"Lava?! I didn't think we would run into lave!"
Luigi"Well at least there's no moat mons-"
Mario"What was that noise?"
They walked along the moat and saw several hundred Blaargs.
Luigi"Too bad we don't have Yoshi..."
Mario went to see if there was a way to cross but the bridge was up. They inspected further and mario had an idea.
Mario"Why don't we get the koopa to lie on his back pull his legs and head in and float across on him?"
Koopa"Becaus we could get eaten!!!More on the lines of I!!"
Luigi"Well, what do we do?"
They thought and pondered. Mario sat and thought.
Mario"If only i had a feather..."
Koopa"You mean one of these?"
The koopa reached into his shell and pulled out a feather. The exact kind he used to make his cape appear. He used it and found it worked.
Luigi"How are we going to get across?"
Mario"I'll fly in and open the gate"
Mario was gone for 5 minutes and flew back.
Mario" I cant open it, it's too hard im going to need some help. Oh and i have to warn you...i kind of made some noise that alerted the gaurds. so be ready for a fight."
Luigi" How am i going to get in? im too heavy to lift into the air...say koopa, you wouldn't happen to have another one would you?"
Koopa"nope, it was my only one."
After backtracking, they found a block they missed.
Mario"here goes"
He jumped and a....coin appeard
Mario"Darn it! Wait a second if i can lift Yoshi into a glide i can lift you!!"
They went to the castle and they noticed it seems theyd been going in circles.
Mario" now i need you to get on you hands and knees"
Luigi did so questioning whether mario was in his right mind. Mario sat on him and..
Mario"Uh Oh. theres a problem. i need to get a running start"
Koopa "I could take my shell off, however embarassing, and you and luigi sit on it and i kick it. would that work?"
Mario"I believe it will!"
The koopa did so and it worked. When they landed, they found themselves in a group of Charging Chucks and Goombas. They fought their way out with marios cape and luigi uhh...hmmm...whatever. and they soon found themselves at the lever. They both pulled as hard as they could and the lever gave to. There was no reaction from the gate, but soon after,a little panel opened and there was a button.
Mario "should we push it?"
Luigi"why not"
they pushed it and the gate opened.
Mario"wow, whoever did that must be either one, a demented crazy psycho who hates life, two, determined not to let anyone in,or three, all of the above"
Luigi"I think we should investigate this castle."
To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.

"Is anyone here?" called mario. normally he wouldn't have done so, but there was something about this place that was friendly. He felt like he was calling on a friend.
"shhhhhh." hushed luigi."what are you doing? do you want someone to know we're here?"
"oh, we know you're here. We have for some time."
Mario luigi and the koopa spun around.behind them were three people.
The axem rangers.
Or at least three of them. the yellow, green, and pink axems were right there.
"over here." said another voice.
They turned behind them. Axem red and black stood behind them.
"Oh great!" said mario. "we're surrounded."
Luigi and mario readied themselves for a fight. The koopa stood between them in hopes that his diminuitive stature(his short size) would keep him out of the Axems' veiw.
Mario and luigi took the defensive, the axem rangers had pointed weapons. Luigi didn't care much for pointed objects.
Axem red, in typical turn-based fashion, went up to mario and took a swing with his huge axe. Mario ducked.
Mario used a trick he learned from bowser(who did, in fact have a few good tricks up his sleeve)He ran over to luigi and picked him up.
"You can't be serious! Wait! Why don't you throw the koopa? hold o-"
Mario tossed him at the axem rangers. a good hit but mario wasn't nearly as strong as bowser."
buh-bye.

"You made such a racket coming in! Besides, we knew you would be coming." said Axem red, taking another swing.
"Huh? How did you know?"
Axem Red stopped and scooted back.
"there's a story to that. Y'see, After the smithy invasion we went our separate ways and tried to get jobs as hair stylists, waiters, and even janitors, but without a colledge education it's impossible to get a job these days. anyway so we drifted for a while. But one day, this guy calls us and askes to defend his castle or something. Well I gotta tell ya, we had done the killing people thing, and frankly, our hearts just weren't in it. But when he mentioned a rematch, with you, we couldn't turn him down."
"He knew we would try to help?"
"Yeah, he had this long theory about you guys always vacationing in the place that needs help. It's kinda advanced for me. But anyway, we waited and, actually, we had expected you guys about a half hour ago... Why do I suddenly get the feeling I've said just a tiny bit too much? doesn't matter. You'll be dead before you can use anything that might've slipped out. Shall we?"
"finally."

"Bravo!" said the koopa. "If you coulda done that while we were fighting bob, we wouldn't of had a problem!"
Luigi kicked axem green in the shin, and then the groin, and then with two fingers, poked him in the eyes.
He noticed that Pink and yellow were charging at him. He jumped(much higher than mario) and at the very highest he could go, performed a butt-stomp, on axems green, pink, and yellow.
Mario, grabbed red by his ankles, swung him around and threw him into black. The two tumbled onto the ground. red was the first on his feet. he quickly began to calculate a plan.
He ran to where the koopa was hiding and put his arm around the front of his neck.
"all right! nobody move!"
The axem's stopped stirring.
"Not you idiots! them!"
They scrambled to there feet and the brothers stood still.
"now! All of you-not you, them! Put your faces to the wall."
"There's only two of us if it helps avoid confusion." said luigi.
The koopa was being used as a hostage. He began to make a plan of his own.
The axem rangers began to beat on the mario brothers, except for axem red, who held the koopa.
"hey! what's that?!" said the koopa, attempting to roll his large eyes.
"what, I don't see anything!" said axem red, loosening his grip.
The koopa pulled his head into his shell and back out again, freeing himself from axem red. Then he pulled his fist back, and punched as hard as he could.
POW!
"False alarm." he said. Then, he turned to the mario brothers "guys, I'm all right!"
The mario brothers turned back around to face the four axem rangers.
"uhh ohhhh." the four of them said together.
Mario and luigi cracked their knuckles.
The axems, quickly formed a huddle.
"we need a new strategy!" said red.
The five of them faced mario and luigi.
"we need bowser zord power now!"

Post by: Screech on May 26, 2003, 07:49:37 PM
"Do we really want to follow?" asked luigi.
"better see what they think they're doing." said mario.
The mario bros. and the koopa opened the door. on the other side was something far sillier than anything they had faced before.
There were the axem rangers, inside humongous mechsuits designed to resemble dinosaurs(or possibly animals).
"Haha! You thought you could defeat us when we are working for who has to be the smartest guy in the mushroom world!"
"You guys are going to be in some SERIOUS legal trouble if you survive this!" called Luigi.
Mario knew that there was no way they could defeat the axem rangers without some sort of help.
The koopa's eyes darted around the rather large room. They stopped at a yellow, question-mark block with a sign above it. It read:
"In case of giant killer robots, break box."
The koopa jumped and broke the box with his fist. Two super mushrooms popped out. The koopa grabbed them andthrew them to the mmario brothers, who upon touching them, grew to be over three times their normal size.
"Awwwe maaaaaan." sad axem yellow. Who put that box there?
The fight was on. Mario lunged at axem pinks flying mechsuit, which climbed high into the air. Mario caught his balance and jumped, punching pink's mechsuit. This sent it sailing toward the ground. Mario was about to stomp on it when out of the blue, axem black's mechsuit(which may or may not have been a dog)stood up on it's hind legs and grabbed mario's foot, and pulled him down.
In an instant, luigi tried to tackle black, but green's giant reptile(aligator?) stood up on it's back legs, came behind luig's back and got him in a full nelson. Luigi let his entire body fall limp and simply slipped away. then he turned and punched the giant robot in it's supposed head.
Axem yellow's pig and axem red's stork rammed into luigi from either side. mario jumped onto his feet. He squatted and kicked, spinning 360 degees, tripping the long legged stork mech. luigi threw two punches and a kick at the stout tanklike pig, but it did no good.
The koopa was frantically running around beneath the fighting below. He was almost stepped on by mario's shoe,and again by a large stork foot.
He jumped out of the way again and jumped beneath the yellow pig. He looked up and saw a large red spot on it's belly. There was luigi punching and kicking to no avail.
"That may be a weakness!" the koopa thought.
"Hey!" Luigi! down here!"
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
Post by: Screech on May 29, 2003, 03:30:11 PM
"I saw something! The pig's belly is it's weakness!" he said.
Luigi nodded. The pig charged at him. He kicked it's underside as hard as he could. It toppled over on it's back.
Luigi went to help mario.
Mario ducked beneath a tail swipe of green's alligator, and above a low swoop of axem pink's bird.
axem black's dog jumped into the air and bit mario on the backside.
"Yeeoooooowwwwwchhh!"
Mario whirled around and performed a spin jump. The dog, still attached slammed into axem red's stork, throwing it into the aligator.

"Turn it on! Activate it!" cried axem red over his radio.
"right!" said pink. She punched a button on her dashboard.
The five axem robots assembled to create an incredibly expensive looking, extremely powerful, giant killer robot.
"hahahahahahahah!" cried axem red, speaking from the presumed head of the robot.
"we have joined together to create the super cool, totally awesome and really expensive white axem zord!!!!!!!"
mario and luigi knew they were in trouble now. quickly, the koopa thought up a plan. "guys! I have an idea!" mario and luigi listened to him, and agreed that it was a lot better than anything they could come up with,so they agreed to try it.
The two brothers split up and each one took a different side of the robot.
"I'll attack high, you go low!" cried luigi.
Mario crouched and stuck his foot out, spinning around. When the axem robot tried to stop him, luigi's high punch got them in the head. They repeated the process. soon, the axems within the robot began to fight.
"I say we block high!"
"no way! mario is low."
"But the weakness is our head!
"I'll say your weakness is your head!"
"why you!" They continued to fight until several red lights began to flash.

"What?! So this is all MY fualt?!"
WARNING
WARNING
"Here it comes!"
The giant robot stopped movie. it leaned slightly forward.
"Huh?" said mario
"Omygosh!" cried luigi
"Incoming!" yelled the koopa
they scrambled in various directions as the robot fell face down, with an earshattering crash, on the floor.
The three looked on to see five battered figures emerging from the machine.
"Well maybe we landed on the-" said red. "ah! Ahhh! ahhhhhhh!"
he cried, running out of the castle, followed by the others, screaming similarly.
"oookkkaaaayyyy...that was wierd." said the koopa. the three approached a door. it was a large door, but not like the red "boss doors" that bowser liked to place in his castles.
"allright! let's see what's on the other side!"
"Be careful! you don't know what's in there. I don't think we could make it through another fight like the last one."
They opened the door to find...
a totally empty room.
"What?!"
"Did we do something wrong?"
"Look around. maybe something is supposed to pop out, or something."
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
Post by: Screech on June 09, 2003, 12:22:06 PM
suddenly, they heard a noise, the walls began to move. They raced to the door only to find that it was locked. The walls were moving in closer. Mario's eyes wandered around, looking for an escape.
"We'll be crushed!" cried the koopa.
"Keep calm." said luigi. "there's gotta be a a way outta here. Wait. There's no way outta here!!! We're gonna die!"
Mario looked up at the ceiling. he saw the faint outline of something... a door...maybe.
Mario got the best running start he could and flew up to the ceiling.
"What are you doing!?" cried luigi and the koopa in unison.
mario punched at the white door and, luckily, it opened. but he couldn't get in. He landed.
"I'll carry the koopa, we'll both fly through that!" he said, pointing to the door.
"Okay."
The walls, however, were getting so close that there wasn't enough room for a running start.
"wait. lets get on each other's shoulders, and climb out." suggested luigi.
The koopa was lightest so he stood at the top. Then, luigi below him, and then mario, on the bottom. The koopa could reach the top and pulled himself out, dragging luigi out with him. Luigi was heavy to the koopa and almost made him fall back in. mario remained in the white room. Luigi reached his hand in.
"Jump for it!" he cried.
Mario jumped and just barely missed.
"Lower me down!" commanded luigi, to the koopa.
The koopa did as he was told.
"Hurry! The walls are getting closer!"
Mario jumped and grabbed luigi's hand, as the walls caught his foot.
"pull!" he screamed in pain.
Luigi and the koopa pulled with all their might, and mario free at the expense of one shoe.
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
Post by: Screech on June 13, 2003, 08:52:19 PM
"I dunno. But it's better than being down there."
They caught their breath and looked around. the room was small, it didn't seem to serve any purpose. just there. a single door.
"this is really starting to annoy me." thought mario.
they opened the door. on the other side was a room with paintings on the walls.
"More art! these bad guys are artistic!" said the koopa.
"No." said a female voice. "bob painted these. but they aren't for decoration. these serve an entirely different purpose."

The mario brothers didn't even want to turn around. They knew that another fight would be behind them. they sighed. the koopa was first to see her.
"hubba hubba!" he cried. there was a tall, beautiful woman.
The mario's saw her and were equally shocked.
"uhhh...hello. ummm... My name is mario luigi-I mean-mario mario. and this is my brother, Luigi Mario... I mean...yeah."
"I know who you are. I know all about you. My name is Syrup."
"syrup?"
"Yes syrup! But you will address me as Ma'am."
"yes ma'am!" said the three companions at the same time."
"now. I'm to kill the both of you. However, I don't know what to do with this little runt." she said, glaring at the koopa.
"I like it when you call me runt..."
"well, I could kill you all now, but I believe I'll torture until you beg for me to kill you."
"I like forceful women." said the koopa.
"Look here. I can't let you just-"
"shut up!"
"yes ma'am!"
Mario jumped up and got her around the neck.
"Luigi, Hit her!"
"Where? I've never fought a woman before!"
"Well, where would you hit a guy?!"
"umm..." he slapped the side of her face.
"Oh come on! you can hit har-oof!"
syrup elbowed him in the stomache.
"don't worry about hurting me (not that you're even capable of it). I can't stand it when people do that."
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.
Post by: Screech on July 10, 2003, 06:57:30 PM
"If you don't stop holding back and fight me properly, I WILL use other methods to make you!"
Mario charged and hit her in the stomache.
"That's better!" she said, clutching her gut.
"Now, I'll feel much more satisfied when I roast you carcasses on a spit and feed them to the sharks!"
She kicked at his head, and mario grabbed her foot. He had an opening to attack her, but threw her foot down and ducked under a swift punch. She kicked mario squarely between his legs. She then grabbed luigi, who was coming up behind her, by the front of his shirt and flipped him over her shoulder, on top of mario, who was already cringing in pain.
"I've killed thousands of men since I became a pirate, and all of them went easy on me because I'm a woman. I took this job because I thought the Mario Brothers would be different. But you're sniveling cowards. I won't allow you to lose until you fight me without holding back! Even if I have to resort to this!"
Two goombas with arms wearing red bandannas, dragged a big brown bag into the room.
"open it!" she commanded.
They did as told and opened the bag. There was Princess Peach Toadstool, gagged, with her arms tied behind her back!
"fight me, or I'll have them kill her!"

He had fought some nasty villains since he and luigi first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom, but this was the most totally insane person mario had ever laid eyes on! Mario had no choice but to fight for real.
"Luigi. We're gonna have to fight." he said.
"I know! She'll kill the princess if we don't!" replied his brother, who really seemed genuinely angry.
The mario brothers quickly ran in their head, a plan to defeat this evil, depraved woman that would stop at nothing to fight them without holding back.
They dashed forward and headbutted her in the chest. Mario punched her in the face as hard as he could, making blood spill from her mouth.
She caught her footing and spat it out.
"So it seems that You two have developed a backbone! now I can truly kill you with satisfaction!"
She drew a long sword from her belt and charged them. Mario ducked underneath the sword, causing her to fall and trip over him.
"Ahh!" she screamed, throwing her hand to the side, partially trying not to accidentally stab herself, but partially trying to stab luigi, who moved out of the way at the last minute.
She slashed the sword recklessly at luigi, who jumped, ducked, and dodged the blade as well as he could. she obviously had no idea what she was doing. When The plummers were actually trying, they could easily fend off her best atttacks.
She threw he sword at mario and missed totally. It flew into the wall. mario pulled it out and threw it out to the side. Mario rammed into her, and because she was unprepared, she fell down on her back. she jumped to her feet and ran to the place where the sword had fallen. she picked it up and attacked him even more recklessly than before.
"you, my dear, are starting to scare me!" said luigi, mocking the fact that, after the fuss she made about making them fight her, she had the fighting prowess of a child! Mario and luigi, despite being able to fling a giant turtle dragon into a vat of lava, weren't exactly kung-fu masters themselves, but this was pathetic.
Mario and luigi stopped fighting long enough to laugh at her.
She was furious. for most of her life, she had believed she could kill anyone, because she was the best there was. She was the most infamous pirate to ever sail the seas of the mushroom world. But now she knew that it was all a lie. She could never have gained her reputation without her crew, and her gender. A crew of ducks and goombas made her reputation. She couldn't fight at all, and it took two plummers to show her that. She felt said at first, but then she was angry. Angry at her crew, angry at everyone she had fought in the past, and for some reason, angry at the mario brothers.
"Grrrr! You have humiliated me! I cannot sit here and take this! Please let me die in peace!" she said taking the sword and holding it to her chest.
"Whoa! whoa whoa whoa! You can't just kill yourself! Gosh you're off you rocker, lady!" said luigi, grabbing the sword from her and holding it as far away from her as he could.
The two pirates that were holding peach let her go and rushed to their captain's side.
They lifted her to her feet.
"ungh! Don't worry ma'am, we'll get you back on board our ship, and then we'll sail home." One of them said.
"The mario brothers are right.I can't kill myself. My crew needs me. Almost as much as I need them. Thank you Mario brothers. You have taught me something today. We will meet again. and I will defeat you, on my own."
she began to leave.
"waaaaaaiiiiitttt, a second." said luigi. "these paintings. What are they for?"
"Ha ha ha! You'll fnd out."
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

*cracks fingers* well, better keep writing.
Mario was almost sure that the paintings would come to life and eat them, or something like that. The koopa approached one of them.
"It's not a monster. It's not even something alive. It's just a painting of some place- Hey! I know that guy!" he said.
"hey koopa, I don't think you should stand so close to that. I mean, syrup was really vague about what they do..." said luigi, trying to avoid potential danger.
"It's all right. It's not scary at all!"
"Neither is bowser, and he's plenty dangerous." said peach.
"yeah, but what could possibl-ahhhhh!" He screamed as the painting seemed to drag him into the wall and into the world of the picture.
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

"one...two...three!" they both ran and jumped toward the painting.
"Here we gooooo-"
WHAM!
They had hit the painting, but for some reason, they simply smashed themselves against the wall.
"That may have been the stupidest thing I have ever done!" cried luigi in pain.
Meanwhile, the koop found himself on a peice of stone in the middle of a field. There was a hole in it, just big enough for a person to fit through.
"where am I?" he thought.
suddenly, something pushed him from where he was sitting just in time for him to avoid being hit by a gigantic water balloon.
"Watch it stupid, or you'll be flattened!"
The koopa turned around to thank his rescuer.
"gee thanks a lo-"
He saw a pink bob-om looking at him.
"B-b-bob-om! Duck and cover!"
"Why do so many people have that reaction to us?"
"Back away! Slowly. I mean you NO harm!" the koopa said, easing away from the bob-om.
"Oh, come back here dummy, we just wanna ask you something."
"oh!" the koopa sighed in relief. "what is it?"
another bob-om came up behind him.
"where did you come from?" he asked.
Darn it! I gotta go again.
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

"where did you come from?" the bob-om asked again.
"I guess from...uh...well...I got pulled into a painting."
"A painting!?!" the two bob-oms cried at once.
"That could only mean that..." began the first one.
"...the Power Stars have been taken!" finished the second.
"I don't understand." said the koopa. "Who are you anyway?"
"we're bob-om buddies. It's our job to keep unwanted people out. And who knows what kind of villains will come in here now!"
"What do you mean? What are Power Stars?"
Another water ballon narrowly missed them.
"We need to talk somewhere safer. follow us."
The two bob-om buddies jumped into the hole. A big cannon appeared from it and aimed at a small floating island in the sky.
Suddenly they flew out of the canon and landed (as far as someone watching could tell)on the island.
The koopa watched as this happened and thought two things:
1:Owch!
2:There is no way I am ever climbing into that thing.
He looked at the hole and the island.
"nope. No way."
Suddenly another water balloon splashed right beside him.
"Ahh!" he cried, jumping into the canon and blasting off into the sky.
He landed belly first on the island, skidded on his stomache and slammed his head against a tree.

Ten fingers. vision normal.
He shook his head and looked around. the two bob-oms helped him up.
"now," he said, "can you tell me what's going on?"
"yes. We're safe from the warring bob-oms and their water balloons. We will explain."
"A long time ago, the people of star haven gave a gift to the people of the Mushroom Kingdom. The gift of power. But the sovereign of the Mushroom kingdom knew that others would be after this power, and that if it were to fall into the wrong hands, it would spell disaster for them."
"but what does that have to do with this painting?" the koopa asked
"He split it into one hundred and twenty small "power stars" and hid them throughout his castle. Once before have these power stars been stolen. The vile reptilian theif known as bowser, took them and using paintings as magical gateways to other worlds, he hid them there. The stars were eventually found and put back in their proper place, and the paintings were closed once more."
"I get it. So you think someone took these power star thingies and opened up the paintings again."
"something like that, yes."
"Hmmm... I have friends that can help you. they come from the mushroom kingdom and I bet they know about the power stars. er...speaking of them, I should be with them right now. Do you happen to know how I could get out of here?"
"now that you mention it, I do. The power stars themselves were taken from this world when they were recovered and put where they belong, but there are still traces of power left from where they once were. There's one right here."
He exploded, busting open a yellow block.
When he put himself back together again, there was a black transparent object in the shape of a star.
"we call them star shadows."
"There's just enough power in one to leave."
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

"ummm... How do I work this thing?"
"just touch the star, and it will hurl you out of the painting."
"hurl?"
"Just touch it!"
"okay! Well, bye guys."
"don't forget to help us when you get out!"
The koopa touched the star, and instantly soared of into the sky, where he disapeared from view.
"think he'll be able to get the power stars back?"
"Nope."
They stared at the sky. Suddenly a small speck of something appeared.
"what's that?"
The speck began to take shape.
"It kinda looks like a goomba doesn't it."
"no, no. It has arms. It's definitely something closer to a buzzy beetle or..."
"ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
It hit the edge of the small floating island.
"A koopa."
The koopa peeled himself of the ground.
"ouuwwch...ooh! That hurt. that reeeaaally hurt."
"what happened?" the two bob-oms asked. "That should have worked."
"ohh...Is everything I try to accomplish going to give me a headache?"
"I don't understand."
"I flew up and hit the side."
"the side?"
"The side of this...world. I couldn't get out."
"Someone must've closed the entrance to the painting! Whoever opened it to let you in, didn't want you to get out!"
Meanwhile...
Mario, Luigi, and peach tried to find a way to get their friend out. They couldn't find anything particularly magical about it. If they hadn't known better, they would have assumed it was a normal, albeit very good, painting.
"We'd better just take it with us." Peach said. "maybe we can figure it out later."
Mario and Luigi could think of no better ideas, so they picked it up and brought it with them.
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

Mario and luigi were relieved that most rooms beyond the one, in which they had fought captain syrup, were either empty or of no importance. Perhaps the evil tyrant, that knew they were coming had expected them to be dead. In any case, they were getting a much needed break from the fighting.
Mario cracked a door open. He stuck his head in and looked both ways, making sure it was empty. He opened it all the way, and walked inside.
The room was decorative. Tasteful paintings were hanging up on the wall (probably Bob's), a chandelier lit up the room, and there was a comfy looking sofa sitting in the center. Mario could only assume that this was a room for the hired fighters, and assasins and pirates, and other people paid to kill them, to relax.
He approached the sofa, and tripped over a rug that he hadn't noticed. He stood up and dusted himself off. he looked down at the rug and discovered that when he had tripped, he had exposed an off-colored peice of the floor. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was a door of some kind.
He ran out into the hallway.
"Lugi! Peach!" he called, searching for his friends.
Peach came into the hallway from the door across from him.
"what is it Mario?" she asked.
"Where's Luigi?"
FLUUSSSHHHHH!
A door opened and Luigi entered the hallway.
"what?"
"I found something. Come look at this."
The koopa sat on the edge of the small floating island, thinking of some way to escape the painting. He observed the world that he would be stuck in. There was a huge summit with a path spiraling up it, and a small patch of grass at the bottom with a gigantic chain chomp tied to a stake.
There were many small black bob-oms running back and forth across the field at the worlds lowest level, dodging the constant barrage of water balloons.
One of the bob-om buddies approached him from behind.
"there is one possible way to get out, but there are two big problems in the way." he said.
The world would be a much cleaner place if people would eat their own trash.

"Should we try and go in there?" asked Peach. "I don't know if the painting will fit."
"Sure it will!" he said.
Mario began to push the rather large painting into the hole, but it was just too big.
"uhh...Mario." Luigi said, "I don't think it's gonna-"
RIP!
"Eeeeek! The painting ripped!" cried Peach.
"It's okay! Don't panic!" said mario.
"okay. Sorry."
"Do we have any ducktape?"
"Any what?!"
peach began to panick again.
"How?" The koopa asked. "how can I get out?"
"You couldn't get out on the limited power of one star shadow. The portal to the outside has been sealed off. However, enough star shadows could, in theory, break the seal."
"Doesn't sound too hard."
"But as I said, there are two problems."
"What?"
"Well, star shadows aren't solid objects, just traces of power left from the real power stars, therefore they can't be moved close enough to each other to use all the power at once."
"Okay. What's the other problem?"
"There is no way HE is going to let you near his star shadow."
"Who?"
"The king Bob-om. He's a huge bob-om that sits atop the summit and makes sure that the perpetual war keeps going. He has a shadow star but he's very protective of it. Especially from those who come from outside the painting. If you want to use his star shadow's power, you'll have to defeat him in battle!"
"W-w-what!? An economy sized bob-om war monger!? Great. Fabulous. perfect."

Mario, Luigi and peach made their way into the dark lower levels of the castle.
"I can't see a thing in here!" said Luigi.
"It'll be easier to see when our eyes adjust." said Peach.
Several minutes passed and they still could see nothing.
Suddenly a bright flash lit up the underground room for an instant and then all was dark again.
"What was that!"
"Something is down here!"
"We can't fight it in the dark!"
They quickly rushed for the opening back up to the first floor.
It slammed shut.
"Oh no!"
The room flashed again, and mario vaguely saw the silhoette of some thing about have the size of a human floating in the air.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on September 17, 2003, 05:13:38 PM
Mario pushed with all his might but the door wouldn't budge.
"Don't panic. I wanna help you, Mario brothers."
"who are you?" asked mario.
"Show yourself!" said peach.
"There's no need to be alarmed. I mean no harm."
The room lit up again, and stayed lit.
Floating in the middle of it was a green, glowing boo, with his hands in front of his eyes.
"Is that what scared us out of our skins?" asked luigi.
"Why are you hiding your face?" asked mario.
"Because I'm ugly." he said.
"nonsense!" said peach. "I'm sure you're perfectly handsome."
"C'mon, it can't be that bad."
The boo uncovered his face, and sure enough, he looked like any other boo.
"I knew it. Your face is fine." said mario.
"Really? Wow! And all this time I thought my face scared people!"
"errr...well-" Mario started but peach and luigi gave him a dirty look.
"Who are you? Why are you helping us" he asked.
"My name is Boo jay. I live further down, in the mines."
"Mines?" asked Mario and luigi at once.
"yeah. The vanillium mines beneath this land. We're being forced to work in the mines."
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on October 03, 2003, 10:02:52 PM
"So you see. We've been trapped down here by the evil king and forced to mine the highly radioactive element, vanillium, which can only be withstood by us boos and the dinosaurs that share this continent with us."
"How terrible!" said peach.
"well, it's not so bad. We boos never liked the dark anyway, so the glow is cool. And there are plenty of dank, creepy places down here to hang out. But we really do miss our ghost houses on the surface."
"Well that's just why we're here!" said mario.
"Actually," said luigi, "We came here to vacation but there's evidently some law that says there will be a crisis wherever we go."
"I just wish I knew something about the guy who's in charge."
"Yeah, now that you mention it, the subject is always cleverly avoided when it comes up."
"We don't even know how to begin to fight him."
The boo had a smile on his face. "We know you can do it! And we're gonna help you."
"how?" the three of them asked in unison.
"We're gonna show you a way to go right to his castle. If you had kept on the way you were going you would have ended up at a dead end room with over a hundred koopa centurions.
"Then you knew we would come down here?"
"The rug you tripped over was my doing." the boo answered.
"Alright! Now we can fight this guy, get our friend out of this painting, and finish our vacation!"
"err...not quite yet.Your in no condition to fight him. If you put on a special suit, you can visit with the other boos without being contaminated. and then we can find you some safe place to sleep."
The mario brothers and peach agreed, though the suits were uncomfortable and very hot.
Further on, the mines opened up into a larger area with glowing green, translucent spheres floating halfway between the cieling and floor. These were boos, they realized. They must be resting.
Mario approached one and it's features suddenly became visible. It opened it's eyes and quickly covered them up with his hands.
"Ohh, not again!" said mario.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on October 13, 2003, 12:10:05 PM
"How do I get down?"
"Well, that block contains a tool that allows people to fly!"
He punched the other block, and out of it popped a red shell, with feathery white wings.
"Wow, they look just like the wings I used to have!"
After putting on the shell (it fit quite nicely)he took a running start and flew off the edge of the island and into the sky.
Despite the wings being very similar to his old ones, flying with them involved less flapping and more gliding.
"Where is he!?" he cried, the thrill of flying overriding his fear of the king bob-om.
"He's the big bob-om on the summit!" The cried.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on October 26, 2003, 07:02:09 PM
At the other end, facing the sunset, was a bob-om about four times his size. This was obviously the king bob-om.
The koopa approached him.
"umm...hello..."
"Don't hurt me!" The king cried, spinning around.
"oh! It's only a koopa. What do you want?"
"umm...if it's not too much trouble sir...I'd like to borrow your Star shadow."
"Certainly! It's right over there! Help yourself!"
"Really!?" said the koopa.
"No!"
"Well...sir...I guess I'm just gonna have to...well...Beat you up. I'm warnin ya though! I am a third degree card holder! I know seven different ways to gauge a mans eyes out! I graduated nameless minion school at the top of my class! You better watch out!"
"oh really? Then this should be fun!"
The koopa backed up a little bit.
"Maybe I exaggerated a little. I mean, I sometimes get carried away, and really, I don't think I need that star shadow as much as I thought I did so I'm just gonna-"
"Shutup! The battle has begun! And don't think I'm going to go easy on you just because you are small! Oh no! You shall have to pick me up and throw me three times just like everyone else, and I'm not letting me guard down for a-Oh dear. I've done it again."
But it was to late, for the koopa had heard and ran around behind him, picking him up from behind. But, either because of the koopa's natural body structure, or the fact that he had no physical prowess whatsoever, he was sqashed under the weight of the enourmous bob-om.
"Haha! Puny one! My tendacy to overeat has become your downfall!"

"Help! I've fallen and I can't get up! You little troll! When I get up, you will suffer my...my..."
The koopa quickly shoved, and the huge bob-om slid on the koopa's shell, off the summit.
"Haha!" He laughed. "That should take care of old-"
He turned around and faced the king Bob-om.
"Wow. For a fat guy with short legs, you sure are fast."
"I cede your victory, little one. You're cleverness overrides your punyness. You may use the star."
"All right!" said the koopa.Then he became aware that he was standing on the summit of a mountain in his underwear.
"You didn't happen to grab my shell, on your way back up, did you?"
Mario, Peach, and Luigi stayed with the boos. They were very hospitable (once they got over their shyness).
"You guys, really could use some food, but we don't have any here. You see, we don't eat. It would probably be radioactive anyway. But we can give you a place to sleep. And we can fix that painting of yours. And tomorrow, you can go fight."
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on November 28, 2003, 05:42:01 PM
"Wind! Can wind blow it?"
"Nope."
The king Bob-om was growing impatient.
"I say, do hurry up and get it off my mountain before I change my mind."
"Well, you're not helping!" said one Bob-om buddy.
"What was that?!"
"Uhh...nothing...your majesty."
They were stumped. To move something made of pure power seemed impossible.
"What if we found something ELSE made of power?" The koopa asked.
"Like what, genius?" the obviously irritated Bob-om buddies answered.
The koopa thought a moment, and had an idea.
"...Like another Star Shadow!"
"What!"
"Can someone use the power of a star shadow to 'call' another one to it?"
"uhh...maybe...how'd you come up with that?"
"I dunno. I just figured that, since the star shadows can do so much, and theey are part of a set... yeah, it's probably just a dumb ide-"
"Nononono! Wait! It just might work!"
The koopa put his hands ever-so-gently on the star shadow, and closed his eyes.
Sure enough, the star shadow from the flying island, began to float toward the summit. But strangely, so did all the other stars in the battlefield. Soon, all the star shadows in the area had congregated on the mountain.
The koopa opened his eyes, "What's goin' on!"
The stars were moving to the center of the summit, where the koopa was standing, and dissapeared alltogether, in a bright flash. And standing in their place was a golden Power Star.
"Could it be...?"
"It has to be. There's no other explanation!"
"It IS the 121'st power star!"
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on November 30, 2003, 03:37:50 PM
"well?" said a bob-om buddy. "What are you waiting for?"
"Oh, right." the koopa touched the star and soared off into the wild blue once more.
Mario, Luigi, and Peach watched the boos as they skillfuly repaired the painting with duck tape.
"I told you so." said Mario.
The leader of the boos smiled. "All finished."
The painting was slightly uneven, but you had to squint to see it.
"Do you know if the Koopa can get out of there?" asked peach.
Suddenly, the painting flew from the boo's hands(nubs?) and put itself on the wall.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on November 30, 2003, 05:19:03 PM
"Whew! I was sure I wasn't gonna survive that!"
It was the Koopa!
"Is this your friend?" asked the boo leader.
"Yeah, I'm- It's a Boo!!" cried the Koopa, ducking inside his shell, which had recently become almost a second home to him.
Mario tried to help.
"He's friendly. They all are. C'mon! You can't stay in there forever..."
Eventually mario got the Koopa to come out. The four of them reunited, they swapped stories. The koopa told them of his adventure in the painting, and of his promise to find the Power stars. He even showed them the star he found within the painting.
Mario, Luigi, and Peach told him about meeting the boos, and of their horrible imprisonment.
When the time came (or as close to it as they could guess), the four comrades went to sleep. The next day, they would be led to the evil king's castle.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

"You failed me." said a voice.
"My apologies. I did not expect them to have friends."
"Of course not. You should stick to art."
"Art doesn't pay the bills."
"Obviously. Yours is worthless."
The red haired man standing before the dinosaur king felt suddenly angry, but held his toungue, for fear of it being clawed out.
"They will not escape me again."
The Mario brothers, The koopa, and Peach had woken up, and were already preparing to go.
"I should've known better than to sleep in my shell!" said the koopa in frustration. "It's all fulla wrinkles!"
The castle was enourmous. Even bigger than Bowser's when he had lifted Peach's into the sky.
"He'll be at the top." Said Luigi, "Bad guys are always at the top."
They opened the doors, and would've noted how beautifully decorated it was but they had things to do and wanted to get on with their vacation.
Up a winding staircase and into a room filled with books, they went. For such a large castle, the path to the top was relatively linear. Further, they headed. Until they reached a room with something very strange in it.
"Eggs!" cried mario. "Giant yellow eggs!"
The room's floor had indentions in it like those of a styrofoam egg carton, and sitting in them were about fifty huge, yellow-spotted eggs.
"Hey mario!" said Luigi. "Don't these kinda look like the ones Bowser trapped the yoshis in, last time we were on vacation here?"
"Now that you mention it, they do. You think..."
"Maybe, but if that's the case, we can't hatch them here."
"We'll get them on our way back."
The proceeded down the hall and almost opened the door.
"Stop!" Cried a familiar, but very unwanted, voice.
It was Bob!
"Back for more, eh? Well, we can still take you on!"
"Wait. On the other side of that door is a trap, and once you made it through, I was to be waiting to kill you."
"Then why are you out here?"
"Because I want to help you. Money or no, I want the dinosaur king destroyed, and I can't do it alone."
"Why should we trust you? Besides, we can beat him without your help."
"You may have had a night's rest, but you still don't have your strength back from fighting the others. Take these."
He held four fireflowers in his hand.
"One for you, you, you, and...Where's the star roadite? Well, you'll have to use this then."
He handed one to peach.
"There's a secret door over there, but don't make any noise coming in. That door will take you to the throne room. He won't be expecting you so you can catch him off guard."

Bob began to walk away.
"Hold up!" cried Mario. "Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going home."
"Nuh uh! Don't think so! You're coming with us!"
"No! I-I can't! He'll kill me!"
"Well, WE'RE gonna kill you if you don't come on!"
"Please! Let me go!"
"Look! If he tries to hurt you, we'll protect you."
Bob stopped. He thought for a good while.
"Ok." he said.
They opened the door. Standing right in front of them, surprisingly close, was a tall semihumanoid creature, He (it?) had scaly green skin, and a long tail that swished back and forth. His mouth was full of sharp teeth, and he had no nose whatsoever.
He wore black pants and no shirt. His yellow eyes were partly covered by sunglasses, the only hair visible was a black mowhawk.
This guy was butt ugly.
He turned his head away from the mario brothers and looked Bob in the eyes.
"Hello traitor."
Bob stood, terrified, for at least a minute. He suddenly jumped backwards and ran out the door, which shut behind him.
"Hey!" cried Mario. "Get back here you-"
"Don't worry." said the reptilian creature. "Bob was one of the fighters I hired to wear you down. I was sure he'd be killed when you reached him, before you were trapped in my painting."
The koopa kept his mouth shut.
"But, of course, If you're dealing with the likes of the Mario brothers, it always pays to keep a failsafe.

"What are you talking about?"
"It's the end of the line for you, Marios."
"Where've we heard that before?" whispered luigi to peach.
The monsterous monarch's eyes widened. "Come on!"
He jumped (remarkably quickly for someone his size) at Mario, who moved (a litle slower) out of the way and was about to strike him on the back of the head when his fist was caught in mid-flight.
Mario lit his hand on fire, but the Dinosaur King only burnt his palm.
He twisted the plummer's hand.
"owwOwwwOWWWW!" He cried. "Stop it, my uncle used to do that to me!"
The dinosaur king wrapped his tail around Mario's leg.
"Wha- Mario! look out!" Cried the koopa.
Mario looked as his leg, just as it was pulled out from under him.
Mario was on the floor, with the Terrible tyrant looming over him, with one clawed finger at his neck.
A moment passed.
Another.
"You can try and help him now." Said the Dinosaur king, impatiently.
Peach and Luigi attacked. Luigi to the left, Peach to the right. the Monster moved around both of them with amazing speed. Even though Luigi was faser than marrio, it wasn't much help. Soon, Luigi and peach were knocked into a wall.
The really amazing thing, though, was that the whole time, the monster had not picked mario up of the floor. He had avoided every fireball, punch, kick, or golf club swipe, by sliding mario around the floor and dodging with the rest of his body.
Luigi peeled himself off of the wall. He charged an enourmous ball of green fire in his hands.
"Looks like someone's been watching a little too much television." said the King.
Luigi threw the fireball with all his strength.
For a brief instant, the king looked startled. But a smile quickly spread across his face.
The king swatted the green ball away with his prehensile tall. It flew into the wooden rafters on the cieling, where it burned, temporarily unnoticed.
Mario noticed a black mark on his tail.
"Is that REALLY the best you can do? I really fail to see how you even managed to beat Syrup!"
The fight stopped. Now that was an insult.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

But not well enough. The dinosaur king had been attacking Luigi in a sort of ryhthm. Luigi grew accustomed to blocking and dodging in this ryhthm, but suddenly, the Dinosaur king broke his beat and attacked him with two consecutive punches. And headbutted him in the stomache. Luigi had the wind knocked out of him.
"Haha! Nothing! Wait. I let the other one out of my site-"
BAM!
Mario had nailed him, right of the side of his face, with his shoe.
"Jump kick!"
The fire burning above grew more intenses, as did the battle below.
The koopa even took off his shell and kicked it at the Dinosaur king but of course, the attack did no good.
The five combatants, locked in the epic battle, were too busy fighting to notice that the rafters were beginning to fall...
"Take that!" cried Luigi, firing a green fireball at the king.
"Raaauuugghhhhh!!!" roared the fierce creature slashing luigi across the shoulder.
Green, red, pink, and orange sparks flew from the bodies of our heroes. Their energy was being sapped by the constant use of the fireflowers.
Suddenly, without warning, the rafters fell to the floor! The room was catching fire!
The dinosaur king, evidently having thought ahead, wrapped his tail around a switch, and pulled.
The floor opened up beneath him and he dissapeared into the darkness.
"He's getting away!" cried Mario.
The four companions jumped in after him, expecting to hit a floor, but instead just...fell.
Soon, three of the four had fallen far enough down to see the Dinosaur king.
"You!" he cried, half in anger, half in alarm. "You can't possibly seriously think that you could beat me, freefalling down to the lowest level of the castle, where, even if you succeed, you'll be killed anyway!"
"We couldn't tell we would be freefalling, Genius! We couldn't see a floor!"
The two fought, hand to hand, still falling, for almost ten minutes. Mario wall kicked, wall jumped, threw fireballs, ricocheting around the long shaft.
"Oh Mario. You might want to look down."
Mario looked down.
They were falling straight into a huge pit of lava.
"Are you insane!? We'll all be killed!"
"Ha! You will, due to you primitive human physiology..."
He swished his multi-purpose tail around.
"I however, have evolution on MY side!
The dinosaur king plummeted dangerously close to the pit, but lashed out his tale at the last moment, catching a bar, and swinging like a monkey, to safety.
"Let's see YOU do that!"
Mario thought. He thought harder and faster than he ever had before. He looked up and saw Luigi and the Koopa. He looked down and saw almost certain death. He had an idea!
"Luigi!"
"What?"
"I'm going to wall-jump, and I want you to catch me! Then I want YOU to wall jump and grab the Koopa!"
"What good will that do!?" cried Luigi frantically!
"JUST DO IT!"
Luigi did what he was told, though he knew it wouldn't help.
Mario kicked off the wall, and grabbed luigi by the hand. Luigi did the same, grabbing hold of the Koopa.
They were almost no higher at all.
But...
They could see peach, who had fallen slower than the others, due to her small size and wind resisting clothes!
"Grab her hand!" cried Mario.
The koopa stretched out his arm and took the princess by the hand!
"Open the parasol!"
Peach quickly did as told. Suddenly, their descent slowed.
"Whew!" all four of them sighed with relief.
The "chain" of heroes drifted slowly down and steered to safety.
The dinosaur king was furious.
"You may have evolution on your side, but we have human ingenuity on ours!" Luigi taunted.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

The two parties continued menacingly staring, until finally, the monster blinked and the fight commenced.
The four good guys pelted him mercilessly with fireballs of various colors, and Dinosaur king began to back down, slowly at first, but then gave up hope of subtlety and fled as fast as he could, into the inner recesses of the lowest level of his castle. Mario and Luigi could only assume that this was the dungeon (They hadn't seen one yet, and every castle has to have a dungeon).
The mario brothers pressed the advantage and chased after him.
They followed him to the end of of a long hallway with barred doors all down either side. He turned and saw Luigi in front of Mario and Peach, with The Koopa bringing up the rear.
Luigi ran into the open room only to have a heavy iron cage fall on him.
"Don't come in! It's a trap!" Luigi called. But it was too late. Peach and Mario ran into the room. Another iron cage fell on Peach.
Mario looked up. No more cages.
He prepared to make his move.
Suddenly an enourous red fireball flew into him!
He regained consciousness, only to find himself once again, in the clutches of the Dinosaur king. He was pressed against a wall, with his ankles held together by the Dinosaur King's tail.
"That thing must be really popular at parties." Mario managed to joke.
Mario realized, as his mind became clearer, that he no longer had his fireflower, and that his clothes had returned to thier normal red and blue colors.
"How did you hit me with that fireball?" He asked.
"Just a little something I was holding back in case you actually made it here. Forgive me for not accomadating you but I only have two cages. I'd put you in one with your miserable friends but I've already made the mistake of underestimating you. Between you, I'm sure you could escape. Don't woory though. I have just the place for you..."
Suddenly, Luigi and Peach began blasting their cages.
"Give it up you two." said the dinosaur king smugly. "I may be a reptile of science but I'm not above a little magical inpenetrability spell every now and then."
Mario looked him in the eye.
"Where's the Koopa?" He asked.
"Ah, well, y'see. As I said before, their weren't enough cages for all of you, but I have something else in mind."
"Help meeeeee!" cried a squeaky, annoyingly high voice.
The Koopa was suspended over a boiling pit of lava.
"it's actually instant-lava." said the Dinosaur king. "Cheaper and faster than the real thing."
"What are you going to do?" asked Mario.
"Oh." he said.
Mario was chained to a wall just high up enough so that his feet couldn't reach the floor.
"If you haven't noticed," said the Dinosaur king. "These chains are very weak. With a fireflower, you could easily break them."
He pressed a fireflower into Mario's hand.
"But if you do, your pathetic, useless friend will instantly fall into the pit of instant-lava, where he will boil like a lobster."
Mario stared at the laughing king.
"You, are one sick puppy." he said.
The king looked rather pleased with himself.
"I studied the stories, watched the tapes, observed everyone of your fights, and planned as far ahead as possible, and it paid off. Now, Mario brothers, NOBODY can save you!"

"And the best part." said the dinosaur king. "Is that my new superweapon is almost complete! You may actually live to see it in action. Why, in fact, I may grant you one final honor and destroy YOU with it! wouldn't that be something? All I need is one vital component. A parakoopa should be bringing it in a box any time now!"
Suddenly, the koopa began to snicker.
"What's so funny? You're about to die. Can't you muster a little sadness?"
The koopa began to laugh.
"What's he laughing at?" he asked Mario.
Mario shrugged.
The koopa was laughing uproariously, unable to controll himself.
"What is it?! Speak up man! I need a good laugh too!"
The Koopa spoke, "Hahahaha! The koopa who was supposed to bring that package...your gonna love this...was me! Hahhaha! And what's really funny, is that the package got lost on the way here! Hahahaha!"
The dinosaur king was furious!
"Imbecile! You shall all be destroyed in the most senselessly violent fashion I can think of!"
The koopa wasn't laughing anymore.
The hideous creature began to move toward them.
He was about to do something so ludicrously painful that I shall not write it here. But, mark my words. It woulda been BAD.
But thankfully, at that precise moment, two figures bursted into the room.
The first, and shorter of the two, was quickly recognized as Bob.
But the second one was entirely unfamiliar.
He was VERY tall, and wore a blue hat with a cape. He had on a white shirt and pants, and a yellow belt with a golden "G" on it.
His hair was reddish brown and somewhat curly. His eyes were clearly lacking an iris and just sort of looked like black dots. almost like polished plastic.
In his hands he had no weapon of any kind.
The tall man looked a t the dinosaur king, with his creepy, black button eyes.
"It's go time." he said.

They two tangled on the floor, before the Dinosaur king got his tail wrapped around the man's neck. He held him (far away from himself)over the lava.
"Any last words?" asked the Dinosaur King.
"Yeah..." said the man.
He threw his feet forward, and pulled himself onto the floor.
"FINGER SHOT!" cried the man, firing tiny bullet-like things from his fingers.
Peach and Mario immediately recognized that attack.
The Dinosaur King, of course, was not expecting this. The man in blue unwrapped the King's tail from his neck, and jerked him into the lava.
The man fell down, and began panting.
"Geno!" cried peach, recognizing the man, and not questioning how he came to look like a human.
"Geno, see if you can get us out of these cages!"
Geno stood up. There were visible red marks on his neck from the Dinosaur King's tail, which had evidently done more than the others had thought.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

"It's magic. Really powerful magic. The only way to open the cage is to find the keys, which I believe just melted."
Suddenly, from the lava came the long green tail, that could only belong to the Dinosaur king.
Geno pulled him out, and found that he was still very much alive.
"It's a good thing I used instant." he said, shaking himself off, consequently burning the side of Geno's face.
"It's cheaper, but sadly less potent." the dinosaur king was almost unscathed.
"Lift the spell on these cages." demanded Geno.
"Ha! The magic was infused in the bars when they were made. I couldn't lift it if I wanted to. Which I don't."
The Dinosaur King clawed at Geno, and scratched him on the very same side of the face he was just burned.
"You keep that up, and the Star Spirits aren't going to be very happy when they get this body back."
Geno continued using his finger shot attack, until the King knew when to expect it, at which point Geno began using another familiar attack.
"GENO BEAM!"
This also didn't do too terribly much to the Dinosaur King, once he figured it out.
"You're stalling!" he said. "What for!?"
"I'm waiting for some friends."
"It won't do you any good! There is only one way to defeat me!"
Mario's mind drifted to the note they had found in Yoshi's house. The one with the burnt edge. He had to wonder...
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."
Post by: Screech on January 28, 2004, 07:58:42 PM
Geno jumped in surprise, partially because of the small fireballs coming from the gaping mouth of the Dinosaur King, but mostly from the fact that, when he had knocked the king into the cage, it had tipped.
Geno ducked just in time to miss a right hook. He backed up against the cage,and moved his head to dodge an oncoming punch.
Again, the cage moved.
"Tell me." said geno, "Do you think you could take three of us?"
"What are you talking about?"
Geno grabbed the bars of the cage and pulled up. Luigi realized what was happening and helped pull the cage over.
"I guess you aren't as smart as you thought!" he said. "The problem with dropping cages on people is that you can tip them over."
Soon, luigi had peach free.
"Get Mario and the Koopa free." Geno told them.
Geno fired another finger shot at the Dinosaur King, to keep him busy.
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

He jumped in front of them, and grabbed hold of the rope that held the koopa.
"My claws can break this rope easily. If any one of you takes one step closer, your weak little friend will drop right into that boili-er...simmering vat of lava!"
Geno, Luigi, and Peach stopped where they stood.
Geno spoke, calmly and slowly. "I'd be careful. You never know what that little imp will do next."
The koopa was thoroughly confused.
"Why, that little bugger might even..."
He stopped.
"...even pull himself into his shell." he winked at the koopa.
"What?" said the Dinosaur King.
"What?" said the koopa.
"How would that even phase me?" asked the intrigued King.
"Well, y'know. He might just CURL RIGHT UP IN THERE!" He said, obviously trying to get a message across.
"I don't get it!" said the Koopa.
Geno was aggrivated. "Pull yourself inside your shell!!" he cried.
The Dinosaur King suddenly cut the rope and the Koopa (now tucked inside his shell) fell straight into the vat of only semi-boiling instant-lava.
"You monster!" cried Mario breaking his own chains with the fireflower and racing to the Dinosaur King with renewed vigor.
Now, it is only fair to say that Mario thrashed the Dinosaur King without mercy, and would most certainly have killed anyone else in the world stupid enough to be standing there.
But the Dinosaur King wasn't just anyone. He would just bounce back up and take another hit. Mario tired out long before the Dinosaur king showed any signs of being injured.
The two stared at each other. Mario was obviously not going to survive at this rate.
Mario tried one last time to attack but was stopped in mid-step.
"Geno?"
"Mario, You can't win this fight. Someone here has a weapon that can destroy him."
"Who!?" cried Mario, frantically looking to Peach and Luigi, who just shrugged.
"Geno pointed to the vat. Floating on the top, was the charred, black, shell of the Koopa.
Geno picked it up, and set it on the ground.
"You can come out now."
The koopa stuck his head out of the shell. The rest of his body followed.
"I don't understand-"
"Neither do I!" said the Dinosaur King, who had felt very ignored for a moment.
Geno shot him a dirty look.
"Allow me to explain then. You see, the Koopa has in his possession, the one hundred and twenty-first Power Star. The Power stars, as I'm sure you are aware, are enourmous sources of power and energy, they can be used to run entire kingdoms. And they can also be a source of power for individual people." he stopped and looked at the Dinosaur King.
"You, for example, have used them to make yourself nearly invincible.
But you overlooked many things in your plan.
No one is truly invincible. There is always a way to defeat someone no matter how powerful they are.
You counted on the strength of one hundred and twenty Power Stars to protect you.
Even the Star Spirits of Star Haven were doubful of the existance of a one hundred and twenty-first. But now I see that the legend was true after all."

Koopa, you can use that power star to take the other One hundred and twenty from him!"
The Koopa looked dumbfounded. He had no idea that the shiny golden star he held had such importance.
"Not If I take the unifying star from HIM!" cried the dinosaur king lounging forward, and knocking Mario out of his way.
"Ahh!" cried the koopa, runng away.
"Take the stars! Now!"
Thee koopa lifted his star, into the air.
The Dinosaur King was about to make another attack. Suddenly he felt weak.
His stars! They were leaving him!
The Power stars congregated around the koopa as the shadow stars had done. The Dinosaur King was frantically trying to hold on to one of them.
Finally, the stars had become one very large Star, floating in front of him.
The Dinosaur King fell down on the floor, unadjusted to his normal vulnerable state.
He looked (up) at the Koopa.
"W-what are you going to do to me?"
The Koopa looked down into the dethroned King's eyes, and with a frightful vengance said:
"I dunno."
Mario slapped his face.
He, Luigi, and Geno, stepped forward and picked him up. Geno nodded to Bob, who had been silently watching.
Bob reached into a satchel at his side and pulled out a paintbrush.
"No! You can't!" cried the former tyrant.
Bob began to paint a mural of the most frightful, terrifyingly evil place ever captured in paint.
The Koopa knew what to do. With a wave of his hand, the picture rippled and became suddenly realistic, making it all the more frightening.
The three friends, lifting the man in the air, hurled him into the painting.
With another wave, the painting returned to it's unrealistic form.

The koopa held the single Star in his hand awkwardly, not entirely sure what to do with it.
He walked over to Peach. "This thing belongs in your kingdom, right?" he asked. "here."
"Thank you." she said. She leaned down and kissed his nose, causing him to turn red.
"awwe shucks."
Geno looked himself over. His body seemed to be more or less intact.
"I guess I'd better be going." he said. "The star spirits don't actually know I'm here, and if I don't return this body soon, they'll get suspicious."
Mario and Luigi said goodbye to their friend as he walked off.
"Well, what are we standing around here for?"
"Let's get on with our vacation!"
One month later.
Mario looked through his mail.
"Huh? Hey! Luigi!"
"What?" said Luigi, who was hanging his recently washed clothes out to dry.
"We got a letter from the Koopa!"
"Read it out loud."
"Walk softly and carry a Super Scope."

Thanks for all the help you gave me. The last month has been really busy.
A lot's happened so I should give you a recap.
After the Dinosaur king was sealed in that painting, Geno and Bob Freed the Yoshis from their eggs. They just needed some of that instant lava to open the shells.
I learned from the Yoshis that Vanillium is actually really valuable, so I decided to make a business out of it!
We now ship to Sarasaland and Beanbean. The Axem rangers decided to cash in on it, and now they work in the Vanilla Dome mine. Captain Syrup sailed off somewhere. She said she woulda stayed if I didn't creep her out. She also mentioned something about reeking her revenge on you. I was too busy drooling to notice.
Bob went to Kappa mountain (where he lives, by the way) and threatened that if my business ever bothered him, he'd come into my office with a fireflower and burn it to the ground. What a grouch.
Anyway, I hope you guys are doing well. give my regards to the Princess.
-The Koopa
P.S. If you guys see Geno again, pass my thanks on to him.
THE END
Thanks to everyone who gave any feedback. I'm glad to finally finish this story and start another equally long and annoying one.
Beware!
