Ah, don't say that. I've been writing and role playing for different subjects for a long time. I've spent almost half of my life doing it. (That sounds weird, yeah, but I'm 14, so it isn't that hard to believe.)
Back to da story!
--
Luigi paced back and forth in front of the cell bars. It was daylight, but you could barely tell it. A few grates engraved into the high ceiling let in some sunlight, that only barely reached the edges of the two cells.
The larger cell was empty. Luigi guessed it was because, like Bow had said, Korpttia was making them all work to build whatever it was he had thought up.
"I get the feeling this guy just talks tough to everybody. If he almost got beat by Kirby, then there's no way he could beat all of us.", Link stated, sitting leisurely on the top bunk of the bunk-beds that were placed against the far-back wall.
"Maybe so...", muttered Luigi, still pacing.
"We have to think of a way out of here...", said Mario, a little anger rising in his voice.
"I have an idea...", Yoshi said slyly, calling the other four around him in a huddle.
Two Oktoroks, a few Matter Guys, and some Koopa Troopas paced the building, randomly passing the prisoner's cell.
"Alright, you two know what to do?", Yoshi was saying.
"Yep.", replied Mario and Luigi.
As a Koopa Troopa passed by their cell, Mario called out to him. "Hey, ugly! How about you stop walking by? You're making some of us feel sick."
The Koop Troopa looked towards Mario angrily, "Hey! I bet if you didn't have your four buddies there, you wouldn't be so tough!", and he yanked the cell door open, pulled Mario out, and shut it behind him.
"Wow, he's dumber than I thought. It didn't take much", laughed Luigi.
With a few quick punches and a final stomp, the Koopa Troop was stuffed into his shell. Mario flashed the V-sign quickly, and then turned to open the door of the cell.
Once they were outside, they were a bit stuck on what to do.
"Look! See there!", Luigi was pointing. "That's a camera, I can tell, it's been following the guards from time to time. If it spots us, an alarm will sound."
Kirby and Yoshi leaned against the cell for a moment, thinking.
"Hey, look up there!", said Link, quietly.
Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Kirby looked up towards the ceiling. About twenty yards above them was a small, three-foot groove in the ceiling. Through it ran chains, which passed from one side of the wall through the other. At random they carried materials unfamiliar to the four, probably being used to build Korpttia's... thing.
"If we could grab onto those, maybe we could get out of here.", Mario suggested.
"I can't even jump that high!", said Luigi, who could jump higher than Mario in most cases.
"I could fly.", said Kirby, kind of quietly.
"Why didn't you say that in the first place!?", Mario said, kind of irritated.
"The camera might see you if you do...", said Link, trying to be on the cautious side.
All of their items and weapons had been confiscated, but Link still had his Ocarina. He thought for a moment, then had an idea.
"I know!", Link said, gesturing towards the camera, "See those wires, there? I bet if they got wet the camera'd short out.", he said, triumphantly.
"Well, where do we get the water?", Yoshi asked.
"It's easy.", said Link.
Link brought his light blue Ocarina to his lips, closing his eyes to concentrate. After a few moments, he began to play a soft, but up beat tune, and after a few seconds it began to rain. Link had played the Song of Storms.
The rain splattered against the camera wires, causing it to buzz for a moment, and then spark. The red light in the corner of the lens faded off.
"Looks like it's dead...", Luigi said, matter-of-factly.
"Kirby, get up there before it gets turned back on... but... how are we going to get up there once you do?", Yoshi said.
"I've already figured that out!", Kirby said, jumping up and flying towards the chain above. It was slow going, but just before he ran out of air, he grasped onto the chain.
As the chain began to move, Kirby began to change.
As he formed into a stone, the weight of him pulled the chain down enough so that the other four had a place to grab on, which they did. As Kirby changed back, the chain lifted up and carried the four of them through the small hole in the other wall, just as the camera turned back on.
They came out in a dusty storage room.
"This might be where our stuff is.", Mario said to the others, as they dropped off of the chain.
After a few moments of searching, Link found his bombs, deku nuts, shield, sword, and bow and arrows.
Mario located his Wing Cap and Metal Cap, along with a few Super Shrooms and a Bob-omb.
Luigi grabbed ahold of a Shiny Shell, a Vanish Cap, and a Metal Cap as well, plus a bit of Honey Syrup incase they needed it.
Kirby placed his Fire, Ice, and Plasma hats somewhere within his versatile epidermus, along with a Maxim Tomato and the legendary Star Rod.
Yoshi got his bag of food and eggs, and placed it underneat the red half-shell on his back.
The five of them armed, and dangerous, they were a force to be reckoned with.
"I guess we get back on that chain?", Luigi asked, adjusting his green "L" cap.
"No, there's a door over there.", Mario said, pointing towards a dusty wooden portal, that no one had noticed at first.
"Okay, then.", Luigi said, and the five walked over to it...
Once outside, they were shocked at what they saw. They stood on a high catwalk, far above a factory setting. Molten-lava and sparks flew at random against cold metal sheets, meant for placement on the large ship-like thing in the center of the room.
The room was gigantic.
Mario spotted Peach, Bow, and Goombario working together to haul a large sheet of metal. A Koopa guard kicked Goombario onto his side, "Speed it up!", he snarled.
Mario almost leapt down to the Koopa guard, angry beyond belief, and would have if Luigi hadn't stopped him.
"Mario! It's no use! There's too many guards, you'd just be putting all of them in more danger...", he said, sighing.
"I've got an idea though.", Luigi said, grinning a little.
"I say with all this new stuff, we all attack and once and take out all those guards. I mean, who can stop all five of us??", Luigi finished.
"Good thinking.", said Link, pulling out his sword.
"Link, you stay here and shoot arrows. I'll use my Vanish Cap and sneak down. Yoshi, you stay here and be ready to provide us with food when we need it. Mario, get your metal cap, that way you can go through all those sparks and stuff without getting hurt. Kirby, use your Ice Hat and other powers to help us out. Everyone understand?" Luigi asked, nodding.
The floor shook like crazy as the metal figure of Mario landed, startling all of those around him.
Luigi stood behind a Koopa for a moment, waiting.
Kirby landed near Mario.
A fire arrow flew down and stuck the ground.
As the guards rushed in, many of them fell before they reached Mario. Luigi stomped and kicked and punched and lashed out with all that Luigi-anger, and the guards never knew what hit them. Once they were down, Kirby would freeze them in a block of ice.
Metal Mario shoulder ramming his way through about ten of them, sending them sprawling back onto a layer of ice which Kirby had created, so that they slid into a large pile of metal sheets, knocking them everywhere.
"What's going on in here!?", screamed Ganondorf, walking out onto the catwalk, just as Link shot an arrow down into the back of one of the Koopa guards.
Link turned towards him, standing still.
"WHAT!?", Ganondorf screamed...
He began to have flashbacks of his defeat by the Hyrulian hero... those same blue eyes that had been screaming at him as he was defeated were screaming at him now. Such a defeat had driven Ganondorf almost insane, and as Link stared him down began to lose his balance, his eyes glazing over in fear.
Vanished Luigi continued his assault onto the guards, him and Metal Mario double teaming a pack of them. Kirby froze a few of them in blocks of ice, and then shot himself, as a fireball, through them, so that the guards went flying through the air in a rapid explosion.
Link walked towards Ganondorf slowly, letting his sword graze against the railing of the catwalk. He narrowed his eyes in anger, staring down towards the trembling Ganondorf.
Ganondorf could take it no more. He lunged towards Link in blind fear.
Link saw this coming, and brought his sword up. Ganondorf landed on it, and slid down to his knees, gasping. Link watched him for a moment, and pulled his sword out, letting Ganondorf fall wounded to the side.
Link watched him for a moment, before using his long-shot to swing down to the ground far below, where Mario, Luigi, and Kirby stood. Yoshi followed them down, and they soon stood in a room full of cheering mushroomians, happy Yoshis, and rooting Kokiris and Hyrulians.
"Let's destroy this thing before Korpttia has a chance to use it.", said Mario, pulling the bob-omb from his overalls.
"Everyone, please, back up.", said Kirby, gesturing with his arms for the people to move back.
Luigi pulled out his own bob-omb, and Kirby called upon some of his past bomb-enemy powers. Link lit a couple bombs, and they all waited a moment.
After everyone had moved back, Mario and Luigi tossed their bob-ombs into the large creation in front of them. Kirby began spewing missiles into the already exploding ship, and Link tossed the bombs he had lit into the fray as well.
Shards of metal and debris shot throughout the room. The five heroes were lit in orange as flames leapt off of the ship. They retracted from the explosions, before Luigi yelled, "Get down!", and the five of them leapt onto their stomachs as one last, huge explosion occured, blowing whatever was left of the ship into nothingness...
Bowser opened the double doors from Korpttia's chamber, and smoke rushing into his eyes. He growled, "What's going on in here?! Slaves, get back to--", but he stopped as he peered through the smoke, spotting the demolished ship.
"WHAT!?", he screamed, leaping down into the center of the factory area.
As the smoke cleared, two faces appeared in front of the Koopa tyrant. Mario and Luigi stood to his frontside, standing in the center of the debris. Their hats had been blown off, and their overalls and shirts were ripped at random.
The Super Mario brothers looked up at Bowser with some amusement in their eyes.
"Not who you expected, huh?", asked Mario.
"No! What are you two doing here!?", screamed Bowser, as if he had already lost.
"We five are here to stop you and any other evil that thinks it can take over the Universe. People like us will always win over people like you, because we're fighting for what is right.", Link said, walking forwards, with Yoshi and Kirby following him.
Bowser backed up a bit. Mario and Luigi stepped forwards.
Bowser's head snapped back as Mario roundhoused his chin. Luigi ran up his frontside and kicked him in the back of the head as Mario shot himself in a baseball slide into his legs, toppling him onto his stomach.
After gathering some rope, they had tied Bowser up so that he could do no harm. As the five disappeared through the double doors, Mario turned to Bowser, "I'll let all these people take good care of you.", he said, gesturing towards the angry Mushroomians around the Koopa King.
"H-Hey, come on now, this whole thing was just a joke! A game! Really! We...we were gonna let you go! Seriously!", Bowser pleaded, as the Mushroomians stood around him.
Lady Bow laughed loudly, while Peach and Daisy watched Mario and Luig walk through the doors. "I knew you'd save me.", they both thought, thinking about a different brother.
Outta story: I think I've done enough for now. The big fight is gonna happen soon. I hope everyone is still liking it.
