Ch 1 Prelude to amnesia

Ch 1 Prelude to amnesia

All was well in Mushroom as a day of celebration was at hand. It was the anniversary of the first time Mario had saved Peach from Bowser. Peach had declared this a national holiday, and everyone, even Bowser, had been invited, and, not to mention, any respectable news crew would show up to record the thing. Mario was finally about to be given a reward for his heroic bravery, and Bowser was to be given an award for his persistence in evil. On the sidelines a toad named Toad had been invited to stand on the platform with Mario when he received the award. Yes, for once in mushroom kingdom all seemed well, at least for the time being.

Anyway, on the morning of the day Toad had just been waking up at his house.

"Oh crap, I'm late!" Toad rushed to put on his socks "I hope I'm there for the award."

Toad paused for a minute and began to think, he was going to meet the famous Mario and possibly the infamous Bowser. Toad was overjoyed as he walked out the door to get his bike.

"Don't forget you helmet honey." Toad's mom tossed him his helmet.

"Aw mom, do I have to. I hate wearing this helmet." Toad complained.

"Yes you do." Toad's mom asserted, "It could save you life one day."

"Whatever." Toad sighed putting on his helmet.

Toad got on his bike and rode towards Peach's castle where the ceremony was going to be held. At the ceremony things were just getting started, and the crowd was waiting for Peach to come out and begin the ceremony. A Yoshi named Lee was also lucky enough to be on stage with Mario when he received the award. The main reason being his father was Yoshi, yes the yoshi who Mario always rode on.

"Great balls of fire its Mario" Lee pointed out jumping up and down with excitement.

"Calm down" Yoshi said, "You're in front dignified people"

"YIPEEE!" Mario jumped high into the air "let's get this party started."

"YAH!" Luigi added.

"Is the princess still getting ready?" Toadsworth looked through the castle door expecting to see Peach. "Oh I'm worried something has happened."

"It better not, or I'm going to kick some serious butt" Mario slammed his fists together.

"Yes, but it's always at these types of gathering that something happens" Toadsworth continued to worry.

"Maybe we'll some action then." Lee said, "and possibly the great Mario in action."

"You got that right, nothing's stopping me today" Mario was feeling really confident.

"Bwahaha" Bowser's voice was heard around the castle. "Don't you always feel confident?"

"No" Toadsworth sighed "PRINCESS!" he yelled.

Everyone got on there guard, ready for anything to happen, but less than a mile from the castle Toad was pushing himself to make it on time. Toad was peddling as fast as he could, he felt like he was going to miss everything. This only made him peddle faster, and this made him less aware of his surroundings. Just as Toad reached the castle grounds, he clipped the gate entrance to the castle and flew off the bike headfirst into a tree. He landed on the ground unconscious. Thing weren't going too much better at the celebration.

"Mario, you think can always win, well not this time" Bowser's hiding spot was still unknown.

"Show yourself, I bet you won't be laughing then." Mario replied.

"Fine, if you're so eager to lose." Bowser blew open the door to the castle, revealing himself and Peach who seemed to be knocked out.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE PRINCESS!" Toadsworth was freaking out.

"Not like it matters anyway," Lee said. "Mario going to kick his butt"

"You think so huh?" Bowser laughed "Well, not after I use this" Bowser held up a blue orb.

"What is that?" Mario was prepared for whatever the orb held.

"My newest invention." Bowser grinned, "I call it the amnesia bomb, It will create a shockwave that will give everyone amnesia, forever. Which means you'll be too busy trying to remember your own name rather than trying to defeat me."

"No you don't" Luigi found himself uncontrollably hitting Bowser and knocking the bomb out of Bowser's hands and into the moat around the castle.

"No!" Bowser tried to grab the orb before it fell to far, instead he scratch up his knuckles on the concrete bridge and when he ran for the orb he launched Peach across the bridge towards Mario. Peach's crown flew off her head and landed in front of Luigi.

"You idiot!" Bowser yelled, "Who knows what'll happen now!"

"Oh dear." Toadsworth said.

"Run" Mario barely had a chance to get the words out before the bomb exploded, unleashing the shockwave Bowser had mentioned.

Unfortunately, the shockwave was only intensified by the water and spread across the kingdom giving everyone amnesia. And just like that everyone lost their memories, except one person.
