Okay guys, this is a story that I really intend on continuing. I posted it hm. . maybe a couple of years ago. . .the writing style is incredibly immature for me, but you will see a transition as I continue to write. I'm gonna post it in increments so it makes it easier for you guys to read. Ah, and there will be no chapters for now.
It was Mario’s first time with a sword, and he didn’t know what to think. It was no problem fighting off the goombas, but he was curious how he would fight the koopas. He used the fire flower in his pocket to destroy the koopas. He wiped the sweat off of his forehead and for the first time, took in the scenery.
To his left sat Goombario’s house down the ¼ mile trail. The path was lined with strange flowers. Mario had never graced this are with his presence often; he decided this was the best place to come to train with Jynx. Besides, the enemies were weaker here, if there were any to appear without the remote. He looked to his right, and looked up at the sky where Bowser’s floating castle would’ve been, when he lifted Peach’s and his castle into the air when he stole the star rod. He realized he was just delaying his training, he let out a big sigh and pressed the button on the remote Geno had given him. “Hmmm…better start small with goombas.”
It was Geno’s idea to get Mario to train with a sword in the first place. He remembered what Geno told him when he received it. “This remote creates an illusion that is generated using the star power emitted rom you. You can create the illusion of ANYONE you’ve fought." said Geno, and after a brief pause to allow this information to sink he finished, "yes, including Bowser, so be careful. And always remember these monsters will be intent on killing you. If you ever need to terminate them, hit this button.” He pointed to a red button with an exclamation mark on the button on the bottom of the remote. “AND, don’t let it fall into the wrong hands. You know exactly who I’m talking about.” These words echoed in the back of Mario’s mind. It kind of scared him actually. Something, he couldn't put his finger on made him snap back to reality.
“Mario!!...Mario, snap out of it! We have to focus on your training if you want to get good with a sword. But the problem was he didn’t want to get good with a sword. Why don’t you try a few simple combos with your sword at first, like simple slice combos, like this” Jynx went through several motions, he slices sideways then hit with the butt of his sword, kicked, then came down with his sword. The small shrub he did that to remained in tatters. “Ok, here we go.” He thought of the enemy he wanted, a goomba, and pushed the red button six times, and took his clumsy stance. The warm wind blew his cap up, and almost off, his nose itched because his mustache was blowing too. He stood with his legs spread slightly apart and the sword in both hands, his style was sluggish and clumsy, but he easily took the first goomba with a single slice and it just dissipated into nothing. The next two charged him, and he got this sudden spontaneous burst of imaginative attacks. He spin jumped into the air while holding his sword down, kind of like a drill, bounced off of it, did a flip and came down with his sword. The next 3 goombas came all at once, quickly he used the spare feather he always kept under his hat, and spun with the sword held out, taking them all at once. The sensei was awe-stricken at Mario’s crafty performance.
(I will be continuing this, however I'm posting in increments to make it easier to read.)
