The Train and Mario

Okay, first of all, if you've read my other story, Spyrocitor: The Avalarian Adventure, this is one of the two stories I promised. This is the one written by Wex.

Wex: You do know what that means, don't you?

Yep, you get the Author's Notes section, I'm stuck with the second party character status.

Wex: So, for my first act as The Mighty Tyranno Wex, Author of this story, I order you to do the disclaimer.

Wex doesn't own anything. Neither do I, but he's the one who wrote it. Well, let's get this insanity started...

________________________________________________________________________

Mario rounded the corner. Now he was in second place, just behind Yoshi. Mario picked up an item box. As the Kart's computer randomly selected an item, time seemed to slow down. He almost couldn't take the pressure, but then it slowed down and stopped. He got a Super Mushroom. He knew that it might be his only chance, so he took the risk. He used the Mushroom. He zoomed into the lead and was overjoyed with his success. As he looked back to see just how far he got, he saw everyone slowing down. He got confused and turned around to find out why... There was a train on the course...

The next morning, Mario woke up feeling dizzy, as if a train hit him. Then he realized that one did hit him. He laughed at the irony, but due to his bruised ribs, it did more harm than good. Mario then remembered that this was the third time in a row that that train blew the race, as well as the entire Mushroom Cup, for him. He decided to take revenge... Sweet revenge... Then he would beat them all... They'd see... Except all he could think of was pennies.

Mario, with his head still not right from the accident, went to the bank and exchanged 1,000 dollars, which he had been saving for a new Kart, for pennies. He later realized that 100,000 pennies were really, really heavy. With no other usable means of transportation, Mario took his pennies and walked the 20 miles to the racecourse, but more importantly, the train tracks. Then he remembered that there were train tracks right behind his house.

Mario put all 100,000 pennies on the train tracks, even doubling them up in some places, just to derail the train. After he was done with that, he passed out in the shade of a macaroni cactus, pleased with what he had done.

Later, when he woke up from his nap, Mario was dismayed with the results. He didn't see the train derailed, but he did see smoke billowing up from the other side of the racecourse. Excited, Mario ran straight over to where he saw the smoke coming from. When he got there, he didn't see the old locomotive's engine tipped over and dented as he expected, instead he saw Luigi roasting marshmallows in a gigantic fire next to a tent.

"What the heck are you doing?!" Mario yelled to his brother.

"Eatin' marshmallows," Luigi said with his mouth full.

"Forget it," Mario said as he walked on.

As Mario continued down the train tracks that he had used to get to his brother, he looked down for any sign of a penny that was whole, but all he saw was destruction. This wasn't the kind of destruction he was looking for. He didn't see any sign of a train ahead, all he saw was pennies. They were crushed, broken into millions of pieces, bent at strange angles, even so flattened that you couldn't even tell what they were. He kept going, looking down the whole time. On one of the tracks, he saw a purple penny. He didn't know why it was purple. He heard a noise behind him, breaking his concentration. He yelled back to it, telling it to be quiet. After it did, he turned back around and started to walk again. He kept to looking down, seeing nothing but the same destruction he saw before. Then, he saw a yellow penny. He didn't even want to know how it became yellow. He heard the noise again, but this time it was much louder. Again he told it to be quiet and continued to walk. While walking he saw nothing more out of the ordinary, but why was that penny purple? That was the only thing that he could think about until behind him he heard the noise again, this time extremely loud. Mario finally turned around to yell "Shut up!" but his voice was muffled by the sound of the train hitting him.

Wex: Mario got run over by a train.

I know that, but why?

Wex: Don't know. Anyway, how'd ya like it? Good? Bad? Ridiculous? Funny? Review and tell me.

Thanks for reading. See you all later!
