Mario: League of Champions

[screech the hedgehog]

Mario jumped into the pipe that would take him to princess toadstool's castle. He busted out the other end. "Woohoo!" he said enthusiastically. He stepped up to the castle doors...

Sonic jumped in to the air and smashed a badnik. He sped along the coast of emerald hill. Soon, he had arrived at his south Island paradise. he took out a beach chair and lay in it. "This is the life!" he said before he slurped a drink with an umbrella in it...

Crash took a big bite out of a wumpa fruit. "Crash! help me!" cried coco, his little sister, as she struggled to lift a heavy peice of machinery. Crash took another bite. "Crash!"
"Doh! Allright!" He sighed "I'll help!" he got up out of his hamock and began to help his sister...

Nights flew through an orange ring. He felt free to be soaring above the heights of Nightopia. He bagan to go into a nose dive...

Cloud and Link were fighting. Link slashed and Cloud blocked, Cloud slashed and Link blocked. The fought for hours, exchanging conversation as they did. It was a beautiful day. The chocobos and cuccos were frolicking in the feild around them. Then, cloud accidently cut a cucco. An entire horde of cuccos chased them over the horizon...

Bowser, and Eggman argued. they fired spells and canons and eggs, and lazer beams and all kinds of weaponry at each other. N. Cortex watched as they did so. "fools!" he said to himself...

Far away in a distant land, an unseen spector vewed all of them through a strange glowing ball. a small creature about a foot tall walked up beside him. "It is ready master." he said.
"Good"
"Shall I?"
"No. Wait for the right moment."

*sigh* no replies, as usual. oh well. I might as well continue it myself.

Mario entered the grand room, a large foyer with stairs going up either side. He noticed that it seemed empty. No toads ran out to greet him. No warm welcome by peach. But no threat or note from bowser or anyone else either. "Hmmm." he puzzled a while. all of a sudden, the door swung open and two people ran in. "Cuccos... bloodthirsty chickens!" cried one of them. "I vow never to eat poultry again!" said the other.
"Link! Cloud!" mario said, surprised. "Did you hit another chicken?"
"yes!" they cried at once.
"What are you doing here?"
"We ran as far as we could. I'm pretty sure we lost them. we hid in here just in case."
"Have you guys seen the princess?"
"Umm... not as I recall." said Link.
"Nope." said cloud. "But we did notice that the rest of Toad town is gathered around the bulletin board."
Mario ran out to the town and checked. sure enough, The bulletin board was surrounded by toads, most of them angry. Mario pushed his way through the crowd. Link followed. Mario read the message board. It wasn't signed. It was a kidnapping letter, but not in bowser's handwriting. Mario knew that he was about to set off on an old-school adventure.

Crash set the heavy peice of machinery down. He wiped the sweat from his brow. "C'mon Coco. Let's take a break." He said.
"No. We have to finish this." She persisted.
Crash flopped down on his stomach.
"Crash? Crash?"
Crash arose. He was red in the face. Coco pointed at the heavy object. crash sighes and picked it up. A draft blew and a Blue streak zoomed by. It happened again. Finally, it hit crash causing him to drop it on his foot. "Oooowwww!!!!" He screamed " Doh! Sonic! Cut it out!" he cried in pain. A small blue Hedgehog came out of the bushes. "Sorry man! Talk about ultimate pain! Need help with that?" he asked apolagetically.
"No, I want you to cut off my arms and legs with a chainsaw!"
"Geez!" Sonic Lifted with all his might and crash got his foot out from under it.
"Say, Watcha building?" he asked.
Coco, pleased that someone cared enough to ask, responded, "It's a really powerful generator that can power most electric appliances. We're bringing electricity to the island!"
"I don't think that's a good idea. I mean, as long as tourists don't start coming then I guess it's okay. but I would prefer it be a nice quaint little island with nice quain't little..."
"Bandicoots." crash said.
"yeah." he said...

It is a battle not fought on a battle ground, or in a distant country. it is not fought in a laboratory, or in the skies above afghanistan. It is fought in our own minds and hearts.

Nights Swooped up just seconds before he hit the ground. He kept flying straight forward. All of a sudden, he had a horrible feeling. a feeling he only had when another nightmaren was around. he looked around him. No maren that he could find. He was knocked out of he way by a red flying object. "Reala!" he said. "Well, look who it is." he said. he punched Nights and swooped back. "you ruined it for me and all the other marens!" he yelled angrily.
"I did what I thought was right!" he screamed back. "And it got me out of that prison!"
"You belonged in that prison!" Reala hissed.
They landed. "I couldn't let Wizeman rule!" Nights objected. "He would've destroyed everything you, me, and every other Maren In the world helped to build!"
Reala charged at nights, who took off at the last minute.
"Coward!" Screamed Reala as Nights flew away.

I just realized that I forgot to say this is an open story. I doubt if that makes any difference, though. Anyway, if for some reason you want to continue it, go ahead.

Link and cloud decided to follow Mario. They had nothing better to do. Mario first made his way through the forests grassland, then he continued on, about to pipeland. He stopped to rest. "so, Mario, this is what you do for fun?" I'll stick to blowing up Mako reactors." said cloud. "Let's hit the sack!" said link, suspiciously unrolling a sleeping bag from nowhere. They all went to sleep. Mario had a dream. He dreamed that a person of comical appearance, as well as two children, were laughing at something. Then, the large one looked worried. The one in the middle(the funny-looking one) looked up in the sky. a look of horror came across his face. He began to fly away, mysteriously, but soon, a huge group of monsters were upon him. the children disapeared, and mario awoke in the middle of the night. "What was that?" he wondered. I've seen that guy somewhere. I guess my mind just incorporated it into the dream. still..." before he could finish his sentence, he was asleep...

Crash and Sonic had finally completed Coco's machine. It was very sleek and futuristic looking. They admired the product of their hard work. "*snifff* Ahh. That, my friend, is the smell of knowing that we havn't been sitting on our lazy butts all day." said sonic. "Well, let's plug this bad boy in!" Said crash. Coco fipped a switch and the machine glowed with power, but then, it began to sputter and stop. Coco opened a panel in the side of the machine. "Crash! said Coco. "The conductor is fried. see if you can go find something to replace it."
"Allright. said crash."
"I'll come too." said sonic.
The two set out to find something to replace it...
