Author's notes: New story, based around Mario Strikers Charged Football. ( i don't own this) and all the shenanigans of Mario and friends!
It was a thundery, windy and above all wet day on Thunder Island, although it was always like that, hence the name. The stands were full of screaming fans, each egging on their favourite team or player. This is, of course, the Striker's official tournament.
Mario stared into the holo-projector and sighed.
"Why-a does Bowser have to win-a every time?"
Princess Peach looked at him sympathetically. Bowser had annihilated every other team except Mario's and herself with apparent ease, and he was just finishing off Luigi, who was 12-0 down.
"Look!" cried Peach.
In a last effort Luigi had leapt into the air with the ball but just before he could activate his MegaStrike, Bowser appeared behind him and booted him away, before taking the ball and powering it down the field. The ball whizzed past the nose of a lucky Shy Guy, through a Boo and straight into the back of the net, finishing the match at 13-0.
Mario ran down to find his brother, who was embedded 3 feet into the ground, looking dazed.
"Come on-a Luigi, get up! You need to get off-a the pitch ready for Peach's game!"
"Peach…?" Luigi mumbled, "Oh! Peach… in pink underwear…mmm…"
"C'mon Luigi," grunted Mario as he dragged his sibling towards the stands. "We-a need to think of a way to defeat-a Bowser!"
But it was too late. Peach's game had started and there was nothing the duo could do to help her, for if they did, they'd have to forfeit the tournament.
[Commentator] 'Ok, the game has started and thanks to her superior speed Peach has gained control of the ball almost instantaneously! Pass… to Toad who sends a powerful lob pass down to Hammer Bros who… yes… unleashes his Hammer Storm! Ooohh… looks like he was a bit too far away! Now Bowser's goalie clears it out to Bowser himself. He's got past Peach… one…two… no, all three defenders! He's passed it to Dry Bones who's just tapped it in. A clever tactic there, making them all run to him, no-one noticed Dry Bones until it was too late. 1-0 to Bowser!'
"Oh-a crap!" exclaimed Mario. "He's-a going to completely destroy her!"
'Back in game, Peach in control. Bowser is approaching to tackle… Oh! A well aimed Blue Shell from Toad sorts him out! Peach goes to shoot! Awww… taken out by a passing tractor… damn the hazards on Thunder Island. Bowser's team's Boo now is in possession…and a skilfully used dummy to evade Toad's tackle! Passing to Birdo… Repeated passes… he's powering up the ball! Oh no, Bowser's back and he shoots…! Well saved by Peach team goalkeeper!'
Suddenly Mario had an idea. "Peach!" he called her over for a 'pep talk'.
A few minutes later the game was on again.
'With Peach in possession but 1-0 down the game isn't looking good for her, especially with only a minute remaining. Bowser tackles… Peach has fallen to the floor! It looks bad… Bowser's looking worried… Ok she's back up – what? Her top has just fallen off! Her top – it seems Bowser's tackle was stronger than he thought. Every player is stood stock still and are kind of… staring… Whoa! Peach has got the ball and just activated her MegaStrike at full power! Totally unexpected and its one…two…ooh save…three… four – and another save! Four goals from a…uh… topless MegaStrike! And it's game over! Peach is through to the knockout stages!'
Mario turned to his brother and grinned.
"You owe me five pounds."
