Mario: Lost in Time - Episode IV - Quest
by darkTW
Previously: Mario, Luigi and Yoshi were given their mission not just to save the Mushroom Kingdom, but to save the ENTIRE universe! They have set off, but other trouble is afoot...
The sun rises over the Mushroom Kingdom. Not the Mushroom Kingdom of Mario Kart championships, Golf and Tennis tournaments, Green lush valleys and rolling hills; but this is Bowser's Mushroom Kingdom. Armies march across the planet, ugly machinery and dinosaurs roaming everywhere, Toads terrified and in hiding; and Princess Peach Toadstool long deceased.
In a valley, known as 'Cape Koopa', sit Five thousand spacecraft. These are the first of two milllion to conquer the galaxy. Kamek's harnessing of the Time Crystal power has caused Koopa Technology to increase at an alarming rate. In one week, the evil group has discovered Lasers, Space Flight, Advanced Machinery, Supercomputers, Video transmission and more. Using more power, these 5000 craft are awaiting two technologies; Lightspeed and Teleportation.
Bowser wants more power. The entire Mushroom Kingdom conquered, he has decided to leave the planet for neighbouring planets. Using new radio-sensing technology his scientists have picked up signs of life in a neighbouring system, referred to as the 'Lylat' system by the transmissions picked up.
And where is Mario during all of this? Thought dead by Bowser, he is on a mission, with Luigi and Yoshi, to recover the six Time Crystals. This mission was asked of them by Vel, the guardian of the universe.
In the Spaceship Timescape...
Mario pushed the button. Vel's face came up on the screen "Welcome, friends. The green panel will now will open with a large crystal-shaped computer screen in the middle, with six time stone slots around it. When you find a stone, place it in a slot. The computer in the panel is a time-stone detector. It will tell the Nava-computer to take you to the correct planet and within 100 miles of the location. Then remove the yellow rod with the buttons on. It is a locator, it will tell you in which direction the object is in."
"Right" said Mario "Enough techno-whiz, let's see what this baby can do"
"Let's a-go, Mario!" said Luigi
Luigi pressed the 'on' control on the panel. It shone with light and spoke "Detecting first time stone.......... processing....... finding co-ordinates" On the screen was several maps, the universe, and it broke down which planet to go to. It flashed and spoke:
"Setting Co-ordinates.........Destination planet selected....... Hyperdrive activation in 5..4..3..2..1..."
The ship jerked and suddenly the stars turned into lines, as the ship accelerated to lightspeed on towards the first location.
Mario got out of his seat and spoke to Luigi and Yoshi
"Now-a people, we better be careful. We better take-a these stun lasers to protect us if we are attacked. According to the Nava-computer, the planet is similar to our own, breathable atmosphere, water and land masses, lots of greenery, similar temperatures, humans and animals, but they are called something else I can't read properly"
Luigi read the Nava-computer, the word ended in 'n', and then it changed view spoke again "Approaching destination planet.........finding landing site.....selected. Fasten your seatbelts"
Luigi looked at the planet, it looked very like his home planet; there was the sea, the land, the continents. He then took the controls to perform a landing. As they swerved down the computer said "Activating Cloaking Device" . There was a sound; the craft became invisible and they flew into the atmosphere, and they came out over a large continent.
The Nava-computer started to guide Mario down. As they flew over, Mario saw out of the front window something that looked like a large stadium. Hmmm.. no football game going on, just two people standing on the pitch with the crowd cheering. On the scoreboard was two pictures, but they were too high to make them out. Also on the field was a large bee-like object and a blue animal. As the ship flew over the town next to the stadium, it nearly hit a hot-air balloon that looked like a cat, which burst into flames as they flew away. The spacecraft landed in a clearing in the woods just outside the town, invisible to anyone as the cloaking device was still active.
"Let's a-go!" said Mario "We need to search for the first time stone!"
"Okay, brotherino!" said Luigi
"woohoo!" said Yoshi, who pressed the door opening switch. They took off their spacesuits, they were still wearing their normal clothes underneath.
What they saw was a forest, just like the ones at home. Mario took out the tracker. A blue arrow flashed on it's screen
"Hmmmm.. the tracker's cold and we need to go.. this way!" said Luigi
"Let's go!" said Yoshi
"Remember, the tracker will also tell us where the ship is, just press the red button" said Mario.
The three of them walked into the town they had passed over on the way down. They arrived at the stadium, and went inside to the side areas. There was a lot of cheering going on inside and some music playing. They could hear an announcer saying "and Ketchum wins the battle!" and there was a ding-doing noise, music started to play and the crowd went wild
"Hmm.. I wonder what's going on?" said Yoshi.
Suddenly a man, a woman and something which looked like a cat suddenly ran into Luigi
"Hey, watch where you're going!" said the Woman
"Yeah, watch it buddy" said the Man
"Come on you two.. we've got to find the twerp!" said the cat-like thing
Mario looked at these odd trio. The Man had blue hair and the Woman had Red Hair. And their cat looked weird, it stood on two legs instead of four
"Sorry, Amigos" said Luigi
"Hmm.. you better be" said the Man
"Hey Kitty, talk some more" said Yoshi to the cat
"Hands off, err... huh?" said the cat back
"Look, James - It's a rare, talking one!" said the Woman, pointing to Yoshi
"um.. me?" replied Yoshi
"Let's catch it and take it to the boss, Jessie!!" exclaimed James
"Go, Arbok!" said Jessie, chucking a red and white ball
"Go, Weezing!" said James, chucking a similar ball
"Let's capture that Pokemon!" said the trio
Meanwhile, back on the planet of the Mushroom Kingdom.......
The landscape is torn up by Bowser's ugly machinery, and his destructive power has enslaved the peoples of the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser and Kamek look on from the giant window at the front of his new base, on the site of the destroyed Mushroom Castle. He is sitting at a laptop computer terminal
"Excellent" said Bowser "We now have control of over 60% of this planet, which is almost all of the late Princess Toadstool's Kingdom... Bwa hahahahahahaha!"
"Yes, my friend" replied Kamek "All thanks to my power of the sacred crystals I stole from that fool Vel..."
"Haha! You have done well my friend. You will be given this planet when this galaxy is conquered, and known as Galaxy Koopa" Bowser laughed
"But we never found the remains of Mario, or his friends. Even though they were vaporised, there would be some remains"
"No matter! Mario is no threat now... He is dead! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!" exclaimed Bowser. A message flashed on the computer terminal. It was a troop report.
"Hmm..... we have one problem, your highness. Someone refuses to bow to your wishes...."
"WHO? HOW DARE THEY NOT ACCEPT MY RULE!"
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" he shouted. His voice echoed through the kingdom...
