hey everybody! Celtic Boy here. This is the beginning of my first Mario action/adventure. Go easy on me! This takes place in the Paper Mario world. (But the characters aren't made of paper.) Sorry about the POV's. It's kind of hard to tell when they switch, but after this chapter the rest of the story will take place through Mario's point of view. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't own any of these characters.
Chapter 1: Unleashing Evil
It was a beautiful day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Bowser looked out on the lovely Kingdom with one thought in his mind. Revenge. He couldn't take it any more. Kamek had told him to wait but he couldn't!
"But Bowser!" Kamek whined, "You can't do this without the seventh Super Star!"
"I don't care Kamek. I've waited long enough! We've searched everywhere for that stupid thing but it's nowhere to be found! I can do it with six!" Bowser told his adviser.
"I have no doubt it will be strong enough to defeat him but it will be unstoppable! It could turn on you! Without the combined strength of all seven Super Stars you won't be able to control it!"
"Are you saying that this thing will be stronger than me? Hah! I won't need anything but brute force to keep it in line! Besides, after it helps me defeat Mario, I'll send it back to wherever it came from!"
"As you wish."
Princess Peach stood out on her balcony watching all the people in Toad Town scurrying around. It was a time of peace, and she was enjoying every minute of it. She turned around to see her attendant Toad. He was out of breath. "Princess! We have an emergency!" He cried. Well so much for peace. She thought.
"What's a matter now Toad?" she asked.
"It's-it's-it's Bowser!" He shrieked.
Bowser. A name everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom had learned to fear and hate. He seldomly ever struck. But when he did it always put the entire Kingdom into an uproar. It also usually involved kidnapping the poor Princess. But Mario had always come through. Which is why every time he tried again it would be something completely different and usually involved something that was unheard of in the Mushroom Kingdom.
"We've got to get you out of here Princess! His troops have already advanced to the second floor!" Toad cried.
"Where can we go?" she asked.
"We'll have to jump off the balcony!"
"We can't do that! We would break are legs!"
"Do you have a better idea?"
Peach thought a moment. "Yeah I do."
"What?"
"The secret passage. We could hide inside!"
"Um, princess? I'm claustrophobic."
Peach buried her face her hands. Then She noticed something.
"Tree."
"What?" There's a tree next to the balcony. I could throw you!"
"No Princess! I won't leave you alone!"
"Yes you will."
Then the Princess did something she normally would not do. She ran towards Toad, grabbed him, and picked him up over her head. She walked over to the balcony. "Sorry Toad." She muttered. Then she threw him off the balcony, where he landed in a tree.
Bowser walked into the castle. He knew this would attract Mario. Then he would meet Bowser's new friend. A general of his army approached him.
"Status report!" Bowser ordered.
"Sir! We have captured everyone in the castle and are going to transport them to the new castle up north!" He replied.
"What about the Princess?"
"Well, um, we haven't found her yet."
"WHAT? THAT IS THE ONE THING THAT WILL ATTRACT MARIO BETTER THAN ANYTHING!"
"I-I'm sorry sir. We'll search again."
"No, get everyone out of here and let one of the prisoners "escape" on the way back to the Keep. Knowing these Toads, he'll run straight to Mario for help. I'll come back later."
"Huh? You want everyone to leave?"
"Did you not understand something?"
"Why are we leaving?"
"DON'T QUESTION ME!!!"
"Uh, y-yes sir!"
Thirty minutes later everyone was gone. Bowser was alone. He eagerly awaited Mario's entrance. And he did. "It ends here Bowser," said Mario in his annoyingly brave voice.
Bowser smiled. "It's time," he said. He pulled out an ancient spell book. After finding the appropriate page, he began to mutter the incantation. After he finished, a portal appeared and a booming voice echoed through the hall.
Stranger, you have just unleashed a beast you have never
seen before. Stronger then you ever
imagined. This may be good, this may be bad.
It may be your slave, or the worst enemy you ever had.
If you give it any less than Seven,
Out will emerge a beast that is not from heaven.
Just then, Mario realized that he did not want to see what was in that portal. He ran towards Bowser and kicked the book out of his hands. Bowser responded by punching Mario in the face, knocking him down. But then the portal began to glow and they both stopped to stare at it.
Bowser eagerly waited. What kind of fierce beast would emerge? The portal flashed, blinding both of them. When Bowser, looked up again he saw a type of shadow beast. It did not look like the strongest beast he ever saw. "Huh?" Bowser questioned. This was the almighty beast that the voice was talking about?
The shadow thing was formless. It was just a shapeless black thing that hovered around. "You'd better be worth it." He muttered to the pathetic creature. Then Bowser began to glow. Six different colored Stars emerged from him. They turned into a type of energy and then it entered the beast. There was another blinding flash. Mario looked up.
Mario was confused. It looked no different than before. Bowser must have realized this too, because he said, "That's it? This is the ultimate power? I could step on this thing! I can't believe this!" But the booming voice said something else, and it didn't sound happy.
You fool! You were warned.
Now you will get what you earned.
You thought laziness was your friend,
but it will lead you to a bitter end.
"Oh shutup." said an irritated Bowser. He looked at "The ultimate beast". "That guy seems to think you're pretty tough. Why don't you live up to his expectations?" he sneered.
King Koopa barely saw it coming. It smashed right into Bowser. He fell with a cry. But then it started to spread around Bowser. It covered Bowser from head to toe. He was completely black.
Bowser frantically tried to get it off of him. He slashed at it, he blew fire at it, but all he seemed to do was damage himself. But then Mario saw it move into his mouth. The monster rushed down his throat and muffled Bowser's screams. Eventually Bowser just looked like himself again. He had involuntarily swallowed the monster.
Bowser went into short spasms. It was as if someone was shocking him with millions of volts of electricity! Then suddenly he stopped moving. Bowser looked up at Mario with a pleading look and fell over. He wasn't moving.
Then the monster rushed out of the seemingly dead Bowser's mouth. It didn't look much different, but then it started to change. It changed into Bowser. He was completely black. But then the color began to appear until it looked like an exact replica of the Koopa lying next to him.
The creature looked at Mario. "Your next," it said in a cold voice.
hey everybody! Celtic Boy here. How'd ya like it? I'm not sure how it's going to end yet, but oh well. And as for the Bowser fans out there, don't worry, Bowser's still alive. Sort of. Thanks for reading!
