KittyCatSume: Well, here's another fun attempt to make a story. Luigi: Lets-a-go!
- - -
Description: A different look at the series. Bowser, the typical antagonist, has kidnapped the princess? Wrong, it's Sunday, not Thursday. A look at the typical life of King Koopa through a completely different point of view.
- - -
The typical story is boring. Bowser kidnaps a princess, and a plumber (in love with the princess) rescues her while risking his life. Tepid. Tepid, tepid, tepid…

Chapter 1 (Chains broken.)
- - -
The sound of chattering chains filled the air of this seemingly peaceful place. Barks resembling that of a dog and the cry for help by a frightened creature running away. Evanescent sights of colorful flowers with eyes, a blocking levitating in mid-air, adorned with a question mark, a castle in the distance. More clattering of a chain. Such an unfitting sound in this seemingly peaceful area.
Bark bark! Those sounds again… another scream for help? Ah, look! A beautiful little butterfly! BARK BARK!
Okay, what the heck…? A sound of a scream as a peaceful butterfly passes by? More chains clattering?
CHOMP!
"AH! My camera! Dang monster!"
Huh? Is that who I think it is passing by on a cloud? What a lovely sight.
As a heavy camera, somehow attached by a small broken string, hits the ground, the barking ensues. Bark bark! Bark bark! A huge circular creature bearing dangerously sharp teeth and circular eyes rushes in for the attack. Poor little camera. Too bad Chain Chomps hate cameras.
"Ow, that almost hurt my teeth… Drat, metal tastes horrible!"
… Hold on a second, where did that girl come from? Somehow, in place of the Chain Chomp, is that a… girl…? Just over five feet, the most noticeable object on this girl was a hat that somehow resembled the monster that was there just a few seconds ago. Messy silver hair streamed down the girlish shoulders, stopping abruptly after. The girl dressed lightly, a black tank top stopping mid-stomach and a black skirt reaching mid-knees. Black boots as well.
Ah, and another noticeable thing, she wore black gloves that seemed to be connected to much larger chains, all connecting to a concrete wall behind her.
"Geez, it's hot out…" The girl whined. Well she was the one wearing all black clothing.
"Quiet Marisa!" a squeaky voice sounded. From where…? Oh, a goomba,
"YOU be quiet, or I'll chomp on YOU, next!" the girl retorted, giving a pout. Just to make a point, the girl pulled at the chains. More clattering sounds arose, making the poor little goomba jump and run right away. Laughter was undeniable, and not worth mentioning.
As the little Goomba stated, the strange girl's name was, indeed, Marisa. Marisa Melody Chomp. Hmm, that last name of hers sounds awfully familiar. Beep brown eyes stared at the usual scenery.
So, maybe there was a bit more explaining to do. Everyone knows the usual story. Heck, it's been around for twenty years. Many years ago, days like today were a rarity, and people like Marisa, who seems very familiar to a Chain Chomp, were a commodity. As the common phrase goes: the world is ruled by its inhabitants. Many years ago, there were no kingdoms, only tribes. Hundreds of thousands of tribes, and the humans that would often outlive the others. And then, the Koopa Kingdom took control, and enslaved hundreds of tribes. These horrible creatures were humans who obtained the special ability oh so famous today. They were so feared that the Toad tribe, the fifth biggest tribe, band together with the humans and formed the Mushroom Kingdom.
This recent Koopa king is no different. No he is different, he's ten times worse than the Koopa Kingdom of old.
And… has he been standing right in front of me this whole time…?
"Chompy, how many times have I warned you not to torment the Goomba?"
Marisa jumped, instantly backing up to the cement wall.
"B-B-B-Bowser!"
Speak of the devil. Standing a tall 6 feet, the great and powerful Koopa king stood himself. Fiery red hair, slightly messed up shaped the face of our typical antagonist. Horns peaked out from behind his ears. Across his neck, and both wrists, was a spiked belt. The typical green sleeveless shirt, black pants and brown boots. Oh, and a spiked shell worn like a backpack, that's a typical thing… for Bowser anyway.
"Excuse me, Chompy?" Bowser said. He used that… tone. The one that simply screams death for the recipient. Piercing red eyes glare into those of Chompy, which was Marisa's knickname.
Marisa jumped again, trying to back away further, failing horribly. "I-I me-mean Y-you-your majesty!" Marisa instantly blurted out, already cringing in fear. That tone of his always got to her.
Bowser smirked. "Good, Chompy."
Marisa's cringing at least slowed down. Bowser thought nothing of her fear and approached the cement wall, removing the chains as the girl watched with widened eyes.
Drat. Today was Thursday. "By now the Princess must be greeting my other servants by now." Very typical saying from him.
It's been like this ever since Koopa-dono got into power. The princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach Toadstool, is a very beautiful one indeed. It seems like Bowser is very much in love with her. But someone always gets in the way, another human (with an almost inhumane jumping ability). Bowser never really succeeds in approaching Peach peacefully, so he must always kidnap her. It almost seems odd how he must kidnap her, and not just talk with her. But that other human is also in love with Peach. Its makes the situation ten times worse.
But that's the typical schedule. By now, after explaining that, Bowser has grown quite impatient. He has already started to walk off, and Marisa almost fell. Spacing off was a bad idea. Bowser tugged on the chains, pulling her down to the ground successfully. "Chompy-chan, hurry up."
Sigh. Typical Thursday. "Hai hai." The girl said. And just like that, the girl's hat grew to the big size of a typical Chain Chomp, the girl's body sinking into it like the Chain Chomp was made of liquid. It was a strange situation.
Once again, barking, and the tangling of chains arose as the last thin Marisa could remember for the next three hours. True, she was a human with a special ability, too. But you just saw what it was, so there's no need to explain it. Typically, she would be awake as the creature, and remember every second of being a Chain Chomp. But for some reason, Bowser didn't like that part, he made her lose consciousness while controlling the Chain Chomp part of her himself.
I really didn't know why he would do that, though. But for now, I'll let it be and slip into this sleep state for a while.
It's not like I have a choice in the matter. I'm just a servant as far as is concerned…

Hurray! The first chapter already done! Please read and review! I always appreciate it! And maybe some suggestion on what to include in the story would be cool.
The Mario series is owned by Nintendo. Marisa is my fan-made character based on Chain Chomp from the Mario series.
*Author's notes. For those not fluent in Japanese, I apologize, I like using the language.
Koopa-dono: The –dono is just a show of respect.
Chompy-Chan: Usually said to girls or children younger than ones self. A very typical thing to say to someone close to you.
"Hai hai." In Japanese it means "Yes, yes." Or "Yeah yeah." Just saying "Hai would mean. "Yes."
