21Oh my gosh, it is a miracle. I updated a story that was last updated over a year ago. Go me. O_o
Hehe, enjoy!
Mary stood at the foot of some great staircase, grinning widely at the figure laying several feet away from her, comatose on the floor, "Well, that was easy."
The battle had only lasted about five minutes and finally Mary had, somehow, grabbed onto Kammy's broomstick just as she had summoned it, to use with an aerial attack, and had sent the front of it, slamming into her face, knocking her out.
"I am a wanted koopa." Gary said mournfully.
"Me too." Mary said cheerfully, and then frowned, "Except for the koopa part."
"Don't relate to me." Gary said dryly.
The two continued down another set of stairs and across a huge room, a creepy chandelier hanging over them, every design and picture on the wall incorporating Bowser's image in some way.
Suddenly just as they stepped closer to the big double doors that would lead them outside, there was a scream of rage from behind.
Gary's heart stopped as he turned to blink fearfully at King Bowser Koopa. Things had just made a turn for the worst. Mary just smiled at him, "Hey Bowsey!"
"HOW THE HECK DID YOU GET OUT?" Bowser yelled. He looked more than a little annoyed and baffled at the sight that greeted him now.
"Missing me already?" Mary said with a wink. Gary just face palmed.
"No, not really." Bowser growled, "But I can't let you leave. I won't have rumors popping up that one human girl escaped my dungeon in less than four hours."
"You timed me?" Mary grinned, "So, I'm like a new record or something? Sweetness!"
"Gah!" Bowser yelled, tugging on his hair, "Don't you ever shut up?"
Mary just shrugged and smiled at Gary, "Ready to go?"
Gary gulped as Bowser and the minions behind him all looked at him, "She forced me along with her! I swear!"
The girl raised an eyebrow but smiled and waved at Bowser, "No, me and Gary are best of friends. Now if you will excuse us." She pulled a small box out of her pocket.
"What is that?" Bowser asked with a nervous laugh, "It's not a bomb, right?"
"Nope!" Mary said, "It's my new toy!"
Everyone gasped as the Mary grabbed onto Gary and disappeared in a flash of light. There was a long moment of silence, then….
"Where did they go?" Bowser gaped at the place where the two once stood.
"That was cool." Lemmy cheered, standing next to Ludwig at the foot of the stairs.
He was sent a few glares and shrugged, "What? It was!"
00oo00oo00oo00
"Wake up!"
Kooply grumbled and rolled over in his sleep, trying to ignore the voice of none other than Sue. After a moment of peace he smiled that was until his world was lit up by brightness.
He looked up into the sunny sky, covering his eyes halfway with two hands, "I'm up! I'm up!"
Sue folded the rest of the tent and stacked the sticks that had held up the material in a neat little pile on top, she smiled at her work and looked at Kooply, "Come on! We have adventuring to do!"
"If you were in my unit." Dave said, "I would have woke you up at five a.m with a fog horn."
"Nice to know." Kooply mumbled.
"I'm so merciful." Sue beamed and stepped out of the alley, "Adventure here we come!"
Just as the group stepped forward a lady's scream stopped them, "DON'T TAKE ANOTHER STEP."
They looked at the old lady toad that had spoken, who was currently glaring at the ground around her, eyes squinted, "I dropped one of my contact lenses! If you move you're sure to step on it!"
Sue blinked for a second and glanced around her, "I don't see it." She bent down to stare at the ground. Sue stared for a long time and finally Kooply got tired of standing there.
"Miss I'm sure we won't step on your lens." Kooply said with confidence, "I have excellent vision."
"Umm, Kooply?" Sue started but the koopa shook his head.
"Watch." Kooply said and took a step forward.
"No! You stop, you!" The toad lady shrieked, "I can't afford to break another! I'll be left blind in one eye for two weeks!"
The koopa ignored them and began walking away, "See? I'm watching the ground, it's absolutely impossible for me to-"
CRUNCH.
Silence.
"I hate you."
00oo00oo00oo00
After being beaten senseless by the mad toad lady, Kooply escaped with his companions in one piece for the most part, bruises all over his face and shoulders.
"I hate my life." Kooply moaned as they walked.
"Don't worry." Sue said, "I still love you, so does Dave."
Dave nodded but stared at the game boy he was playing as they walked. "Yep."
"Yay me." Kooply mumbled.
"So, what should we do next?" Sue asked as they started down the street.
"How about we explore the sewers?"
"You're not serious are you?" Kooply said, "That's like very unsanitary."
"Oh…well, how about we just chat with the locals?" Sue suggested.
"They may attempt to murder us for spare change." Kooply sighed, "Wonderful idea."
"Hi random goomba!" Sue said cheerfully to a random goomba who was walking nearby. He just gave her an odd look and shook his head.
"What's your name?" Sue followed the goomba who looked confused.
"Err." Goomba said, "Drew?"
Sue reached out a hand, an overly cheery smile on her face, "Nice to meet you!"
There was a pause then, "What do you want me to do with that?"
"Shake it silly!" Sue chirped in reply.
The goomba blinked and stared at the girl's hand, "Riiight. With what?"
Sue stared, "Umm…your hand?"
"Haha yeah, right." The goomba said in an irritated tone, "You made a funny."
Sue moved down closer to stare at him, "I know you have them." She whispered with a slightly creepy smile.
o.O "Yeah, I'm leaving now, bye." The goomba quickly sped off.
"Bye Drew!" Sue said. She turned to look at Dave with a serious look on her face, "We shall find out his secrets."
There was a long silence which creeped Kooply out until Sue perked up into her happy mode and ran off to greet someone else randomly.
"This is insane." Kooply said to Dave who was watching Sue chat up a koopa.
"What is?" Dave replied calmly.
"We're traveling around with a crazy human! You don't seem to realize that." Kooply said.
Dave just shrugged, "Nah, Sue is cool. She's a sweet girl."
"I disagree."
Dave turned to face him, "Are you going to betray our group and join up with the enemy?"
Kooply looked away, the black holes in the shy guy's mask sort of giving him the creeps, "Err…no. I just plan on going home and forgetting you two exist."
Dave stepped closer, "Then I will come for you in the dead of the night-"
"Not necessary-"
"-and grab your wounded body and drag you across'"
"ARE YOU THREATENING ME?"
"-every ocean and plate of land until-"
Kooply looked around, "Does anyone not see this guy is threatening me?" Everyone looked at him funny and went on with their lives. Kooply then realized no one really cared; it was good old Rogueport after all.
"Kooply!" Dave smacked him on the cheek, "You will not be an abandoner! Got it?"
"Gah! Fine!" Kooply moaned, "Just stop freaking me out. Gosh you and that girl are made for each other."
So the koopa continued after Dave and Sue, pondering the fate that awaited him, and wondering if there would ever be a way to escape the chaos that was Sue. (Yeah, have fun buddy).
00oo00oo00oo00
"Ow…my head." Gary moaned as he sat up, "I feel like I got beat over the head with a rock." He looked around when he was off his back, a confused look on his face, "Where are we?"
"Yoshi Island." Mary said cheerfully, "Land of the cute things you can ride on."
"Yoshi-oh crud." Gary realized where they were and quickly stood up, "They hate us! Why did you take me here? They're going to eat me!"
"I don't think they will." Mary laughed, "Unless of course you taste like pudding or something." She girl stared at him for a second then moved closer, "Here, hold still for a sec…"
"What are you doing?" Gary backed up fearfully as the girl stepped forward.
She grinned and stuck her tongue out.
"That's funny, ha-ha, yeah. Great." Gary stammered, "No seriously, what are you-".
Gary began running away screaming as the girl chased after him, "No wait! We must make sure you don't taste yummy! It could save your life!"
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?" The koopa screamed as he ran into the woods, Mary in pursuit. O.o
00oo00oo00oo00
Everything was going all right, the three had been walking for a while, then Sue had suddenly ran forward…and fell into an open manhole.
Kooply stared in shock and suddenly felt Dave shove him from behind. He fell screaming into the darkness, Dave close behind.
"Will you get off me!" Kooply yelled, arm flailing. Dave said nothing and hopped off, looking around at their surroundings. They were in the sewers. The area was dark and long pipes made up the ceiling. Up above the hole they fell through was a bright sun, light shining dimly through the darkness.
Dave immediately started forward towards the next area. Kooply hesitated then followed, not liking the idea of being left alone in a dark place.
They found Sue in the next room, just standing there.
"What are you doi-" Sue slapped her hand over his face.
"Shh."
"Ow."
The girl glanced around her, a frown on her face. Dave also started looking around.
Kooply gave them all an annoyed look, "What are you looking for?"
Sue then started running down another hall, giggling. Dave ran in pursuit, Kooply following with a groan.
Soon they were in another room and Sue was peering down into some water. Just as Kooply entered the room there was a loud noise.
BLOOOOOOPER.
"Oh no."
00oo00oo00oo00
After Mary's tirade earlier they were on their way through the jungle, Gary trying his best to keep up with the girl's long legged stride, looking around him fearfully for any sight of a long sinister tongue. (no not Mary's :P)
"Don't worry Gary, we should be there soon." Mary announced as she hopped over a rotting log.
He stopped, "Where would that be exactly?"
"A village duh." Mary said, "I want to eat some fruit."
"But there's plenty laying around here." Gary pointed at a large pile of fruit lying nearby.
"I also think Yoshis are wonderful, I MUST HAVE ONE." Mary's eyes brightened at the thought and she began walking fast again.
Gary moaned and followed, hoping that the girl really could protect him.
00oo00oo00oo00
BLOOOOOOOOOPER
Everyone stared. Sue smiled up at the floating blooper.
"Hi." She waved, "I'm Sue."
"And I'm outta here." Kooply said, and turned to run, but was promptly tripped by Dave, and fell on his face, "Owie."
"It's so shiny." Sue said in awe as she stared up at the massive floating white blooper, the creature looking down at her curiously.
BLOOOOOOPER?
"Yes you are darling, aren't you!" Sue cooed, her eyes shining. She held out a hand, "May I touch your tentacle?" She had always wanted to see if blooper were slimy or not.
The blooper drifted downward, tentacles hanging limply under it. Soon Sue was on her the tip of her toe, reaching out a finger to brush the bottom of a tentacle, "Wow!" She giggled, "You're so wet and smooth. Not sticky at all."
"That's nice, can we go now?" The koopa blinked uneasily at the blooper. He had heard horrible stories about bloopers grabbing random citizens off the streets when they walked by a random manhole, making him feel even more paranoid than usual when he remembered this. Kooply glanced around at the shadows of the room, expecting a gang of boos to attack any minute, or worse.
The blooper's angry looking face softened a bit at Sue's touch, and Kooply exhaled in relief, "Okay…" He said slowly, taking a few steps back towards the tunnel, "We should head back up now."
Sue turned around with a frown, "Aww, but we just got here! It would be rude to leave so early."
"I'm sure, he doesn't mind." Kooply looked up at the blooper with a gulp. In reality, the blooper looked like a puppy being petted, eyes drooping and tentacles hanging slack. Hmm, maybe he could just run off and leave Sue here?
The koopa took a step back and cried out when he felt himself run into a small, but hard, body. He turned quickly to see the shy guy glaring at him.
"Where do you think you're going?" Dave questioned icily.
"Oh come on!" Kooply whined, "Why can't you just let me go."
Sue waltzed over, a satisfied smile on her face, "Mr. Blooper said thanks for visiting, but he had to leave for an important meeting."
It was at that time that Kooply noticed the blooper had disappeared, with both relief and confusion, he turned to frown at Sue, "You speak blooper?"
"Yes!" Sue said cheerfully, "I also know Yoshi, fawful, and yoda!"
"…. Why?" Kooply questioned lamely.
Sue giggled and skipped towards the tunnel where they had entered earlier, "My Magic box, of course."
The koopa sighed, "What is this magic box you keep talking about?"
She stopped at the mouth to the tunnel and turned to smile at him, "I'll show you when we find Mary."
Mary? Oh no. Kooply didn't know who Mary was, but if she was anything like Sue, he wasn't interested in meeting her. Before that time, he'd probably not be alive anyways though. Yay optimism.
"To Narnia!" Sue yelled as they started into the darkness, Kooply dreading whatever horrors they might meet in it.
00oo00oo00oo00
Mary walked down a hill in the jungle path, with Gary close behind, the koopa looking around them with wide eyes.
"Almost there." The girl said energetically.
He groaned, leaning against the rough bark of a jungle tree, "Can we rest? I'm exhausted."
"I HEAR THEM!" Mary screamed randomly, causing Gary to fall over in shock. He squeaked as the girl grabbed his arm and ran with him off the path and through the trees.
In five minutes they had came upon a new path, and this one led them almost immediately to an arch over the road. Gary came to his senses, taking in deep breaths, and looked up to read the words on the wooden arch, "Y-yoshi Village." He stammered, "Oh geez, I'm going to die today aren't I?"
Mary just laughed and pushed by him, unfortunately latching onto his arm as she did so. He gulped as he was dragged against his will under the arch and into the village.
The moment they appeared over the knoll in the path, they were met with surprised eyes. That surprise turned promptly into fierce scowls when the Yoshi's locked their gaze onto Gary, who was still wearing some of his koopatrol armor.
Gary paled, "Oh no."
Mary didn't seem to notice and moved ahead, waving her arms in greeting, "Hi! I'm Mary!"
"I think we should leave…"
She ignored him and ran up to the nearest Yoshi, a pink one, who stepped back in surprise, "I want this one! I can make pink look awesome."
Meanwhile three Yoshis were slowly surrounding Gary who looked ready to keel over in fear.
Mary reached for the pink Yoshi right when she heard a 'plop' noise. She turned, confused, and looked to see a small egg hit the ground near where Gary used to be.
"GARY NO!" Mary shrieked, and ran forward. She quickly ran to the egg, after knocking all the Yoshi's out of the way somehow, and kneeled to the ground. Mary sniffled as she beheld the egg, "You were so young..."
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!" She blinked at the loud voice that was coming from the egg at her knees. She grinned widely.
"Gary! You're alive!"
"Gahhhhh, help me! Get me out, getmeout!"
00oo00oo00oo00
The small floating figure sailed over the rooftops as he pursued the girl and her two friends. He had been bored to tears, and had been prepared to think of some way to cause mayhem to get revenge on the 'heroes' when he had glanced the strange girl in town.
Dimentio had not seen another human in a while, the species the minimal population in the kingdom, and her loud voice had shaken him from his thoughts. He had floated after and had watched them set up camp, an invisible creature perched upon the rooftops.
She spoke of a 'magic box' the white haired girl, and he was quite intrigued. She had mentioned it twice in passing and each time he had grown even more curious, after all, magic was his forte (as was dimensional creation and destruction of course).
It had taken him months to break free from the Underwere, and it had been another long month of wasted time while trying to think of some way to defeat that wretched Mario and his green brother.
This box could very well be the key to the destruction of this silly world and the beginning of his new universe. He smiled with delight at the thought of everything finally coming into play, into his hands once again.
Dimentio stood up on the roof, still invisible to those around him, his mind filled with triumphant imagery. Yes, he would be the winner this time around.
He flew away now, away from the three who were now asleep, planning to take a walk to muse loudly, in glee at his own brilliance.
"Like an unforeseen obstacle in the path of a hated enemy," Dimentio started darkly, "I will-"
SMACK.
He slipped off of the glass and with a groan, fell hard to the ground below. A young toad woman peered outside, having just opened the window to the inn to let in some air. She quite enjoyed these cool nights.
She had heard a bang however, right at the instance of opening it and looked down towards the street with a frown. Perhaps it was a bird?
She saw nothing, and humming cheerfully, left to fluff up the pillows for the new guests.
Dimentio lie (still invisible) twitching in pain on the ground.
Haha, yes, Dimmy will be fun to play with. ;3
Well anyways, hope you all enjoyed! ^_^ Leave a review and let me know how you liked this chappie. Thanks for reading. :D
