Hello! It's been a while since my first story, Shroom Hill, which I have deleted, recovered, then deleted again. . . I tried and tried to write a good parody for Mario Party 8 but that game doesn't exactly revolve around a plot . . . so I gave up. Now it's a Mario Party DS parody! I'll try to post everyday or someting, maybe regularly, but that is yet to be decided. Until then, just read it, and leave a review so that I know you guys (or gals, you get my point) are reading this. Oh,and if you are one of those authors I've flamed, just flame this or something. I TOTALLY deserve it for how I've treated you.

Since I forgot to put the disclaimer in the original chapter, I'm going to put it now so that this story won't he deleted.

I do NOT own Mario, Bowser, Kamek, Piranha Plant, Hammer Bro OR Dry Bones, I don't even own the plot; ALL OF IT BELONGS TO NINTENDO. thinly things that belong to me are this novelisation, my computer, myself and my dog. :p

Chapter 1: A Legend (almost) Come True?

Mario grunted as he rubbed his eyes. He quickly checked his red clock. Midnight. . . Gosh, it seemed like ages since ten. Even though he knew he had to sleep and was, indeed, sleepy, he just could not drift off to sleep. Maybe it was the fact that his last adventure had been giving him a few problems. Maybe it was the whole anti-gravity thing that made him-

Rosalina. . .

Mario suddenly remembered her, mother of the lumas, the cosmic princess who kept the entire universe in place. He saw a mental image of her. . . Her long platinum-blonde hair, with one eye covered by a bang . . . her silver crown and pink jewel. . . Her long dress, which hid her shoes. . . Mario decided that Rosalina was almost as pretty as Peach was in her own special way.

He quite missed her . . . her forever calm and gentle aura, her gentle smile and her gentleness in general. . . Maybe he and Luigi could visit her some time. Maybe.

Now he carefully slid out of bed and looked out the window longingly, and he could have sworn that he could see a luma waving at him. Despite how crazy it seemed, he waved back. Then . . . .

He decided to go for a walk.

Quickly putting on a red shirt and denim overalls, Mario slipped on a clean pair of white socks, slipped on a pair of brown shoes and slapped on his signature red hat. He smiled to himself, and quietly stepped outside, when a cool breeze blew down his neck. The sky tonight (or, today) was the most brilliantly marvellous shade of midnight, with dozens of glimmering and twinkling spheres known as stars. The concrete road was stone grey, with patterns no one could comprehend. He quietly walked down the road, hoping to bump into something quite interesting, when suddenly. . .

BOOM!

He jumped, turned himself about, and found nothing. Then he looked up into the sky to see if he recognised any constellations, and he heard a whooshing sound just slightly east. Mario turned to the direction of the sound, and, in his almost unbelieving eyes, saw five falling objects, and one was coming for him! They had the most blinding light, and left a sparkling white trail of stardust behind them as they fell down to earth!

And just by some lucky stroke, or he jumped backwards without even realising, the star fell down next to Mario, missing him by just a hair. It soon began to lose its blinding glow and sparkle, and left behind a pink crystal, the colour of Peach's dress. It looked as if it belonged to some kind of puzzle. "But what kind of puzzle?" Mario asked himself, picking it up. He tapped on the crystal, and it glowed brighter, and floated along on its own. Once the glowing subsided, Mario suddenly recognised its familiar look, and colour.

"It's a Sky Crystal!" Mario cried, shocked. "But. . . Aren't those things just a legend . . . ?" Without asking himself any further, he pocketed the crystal and trudged home, keeping a mental note to show it to the others and ask them what they thought about it.

"W-WHAT?!"

Bowser yelled in disbelief, his powerful voice echoing through every corridor of his dark and creepy castle.

"B-But, that's impossible! They are just a legend! A MYTH!" he sputtered to Kamek, his most trusted advisor.

The old magikoopa bowed his head slightly, showing his respect for the koopa king. "But it is true," he insisted. "I saw them in my crystal ball. Five Sky Crystals landed in five different places."

"Show it to me," Bowser ordered. "I won't believe it until I see it."

Kamek nodded, and a crystal ball appeared out of nowhere. He tapped the jewel of his wand against the glass and, out of the blue, out came an image of a wiggler, obviously in his garden, with the red Sky Crystal floating in his hands (err, feet, you get the idea). He was gazing at it.

"Grr. . ." Bowser growled, unsatisfied. "A WIGGLER got his hands on a Sky Crystal?!"

Kamek said nothing and tapped his wand again, and a girl toad with a pink cap and white spots and braids to match, who was wearing a pink dress, replaced the wiggler. She was staring at the green Sky Crystal that was floating in her hands.

"TOADETTE?! You mean SHE go the next Sky Crystal?!" Bowser growled louder.

Kamek nodded slightly, did the same action, and out popped an image of a spider monkey, Diddy Kong, with the blue Sky Crystal in her hands, and he was swinging from tree to tree with his long tail, being careful not to drop the crystal.

"THAT CRAZY SPIDER GOT THE SKY CRYSTAL?!" Bowser yelled, getting more unsatisfied at the moment.

"Uhh, Your Ungratefulness. That's Diddy Kong," Kamek muttered under his breath, but he decided not to bother. He changed the image, and an old koopa troopa was staring at the yellow Sky Crystal, which was in his hands.

"OH COME ON! YOU'RE SHOWING ME THAT A OLD, LOUSY GOOD FOR NOTHING KOOPA TROOPA GOT THE FOURTH SKY CRYSTAL?! UNACCEPTABLE!" Bowser yelled.

"You'll be absolutely furious when I show you the last person to get the Sky Crystal," Kamek muttered, tapping the crystal ball, and. . .

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?! MARIO GOT THE LAST SKY CRYSTAL?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bowser yelled, punching a wall so hard that he made a big crack in it. "GET MY TROOPS! I DECLARE WAR WITH THAT PLUMBER!"

"OR we could just make a diversion and steal the Sky Crystals," offered Kamek wisely. Bowser calmed down a bit and grinned evilly at him.

"You know what? Sometimes I think you're not such a nagger after all," he said. Then he took a deep breath and yelled:

"PIRANHA PLANT, HAMMER BRO. AND DRY BONES REPORT TO MY ROOM IMMEDIATELY! Oh and you too, Kamek."

Kamek stifled a sigh.

The three elites appeared in no time. "Yes?"

"Piranha Plant! Go to Wiggler's Garden and destroy his garden!" Bowser ordered. Piranha plant left.

"Hammer Bro! Go berserk in Toadette's Music Room!" Bowser commanded. Hammer Bro saluted before marching off.

"Dry Bones! Go and turn Donkey Kong into stone!"

"What?!" Dry Bones rebelled. "I can't do that! What has he done to you!"

"That concerns you not!" Bowser shouted. "GO!" Reluctantly, Dry Bones left in an envelope of electricity. Kamek buried his face in his hands and sighed. Bowser had forgotten to tell them to take the Sky Crystals!

"And as for you, Kamek," said Bowser, "I want you to go to that library and take over it. Trap that old guy in a book if you have to, just GO!"

Kamek nodded, and left in a magic orb. Bowser sat down in his throne and smirked to himself. The four didn't know it but they were in SO MUCH TROUBLE! Now for Mario. . . He would have to think about that.
