I've been procrastinating with this story a lot and I had promised it to some friends a while ago. I am so sorry! D:
Bowser Jr. was going around in his dad's labs where the koopas worked on Bowser's technology and secret plans for his domination of Mushroom Kingdom. He wandered around, the koopas and others didn't dare try to kick him out, because in the end they would regret it. The empty red shell hanging on the wall was proof enough of that. He went through everything. "I'm so boorrreeed!" He whined. This continued until he got deeper into the labs to find some weird cannon aiming outside. And just outside were flying koopas and goombas. Deciding to have a little fun, he sat in the gunner's seat and started it up. "Hee hee hee hee... this is gonna be awesome!" He began to rapidly shoot in the air at the koopas, when he hit one it disappeared.
"No! Bowser jr! That isn't a toy!" Yelled one of the koopas. He just laughed and continued to fire far and wide, doing a total of six shots before the koopa unplugged the laser and Bowser came stomping in, furious.
Cul-De-Sac
"ED! YOU GET BACK HERE BEFORE SHE REALIZES YOU TOOK HER COMICS!" Yelled Double D, sweating and running after him. Alex slammed open the door angrily.
"WHERE IS MY FULLMETAL PANIC? I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF READING IT!" She yelled. Ed had the entire stack of them in his arms and he ran and laughed. Alice was sitting outside in a beach chair in a hoochie top and brown shorts sunbathing. Johnny was seen just behind the fence, peeking. Eddy was laughing his ass off as Alex ran after him angrily and steam coming out of her ears. Double D decided to forget about chasing after him and tried to reason with Alex instead. "He's not going to do any harm to your manga-" Ed was reading 'Lucky Star' and got bored with it, then ripped a page off. Alex exploded and sprang to attack him foaming at the mouth. Alyssa came out of the house with her sketchbook and wearing a tank top with knee high jeans, and he forgot all about Alex's meltdown and ran to catch up to Alyssa.
"Mnnn~ That shade is nice…" Alice mumbled, opening her eyes from a nap she had just woken from to find Johnny and Plank staring. Johnny's huge head blocking the sun's rays. He had his normal large(and not to mention creepy at times) grin.
"Hi Alice! Me and Plank wanted to know whatcha doin!" She narrowed her eyes at him, seeing the sun peek out from behind his enormous head.
"Johnny, go away. I'm trying to sleep here." She said angrily. Eddy sniggered as he watched Alex attempt murder on Ed after tearing out multiple pages of her 'Azumanga Diaoh' copy just to use them as tissues.
"YOU'RE GONNA DIE!" She tackled him head on and the fists and teeth began to fly. Alyssa did a face palm as she watched.
"Go away Johnny, final time I say it." Alice said angrily, putting on her sunglasses. Out of nowhere a huge portal appeared in the center of the cul-de-sac. It swirled greens and whites and blacks.
"Oh God not again…" Eddy said, face palming.
"So… what do you think is down there?" Alyssa asked, curiously looking down the portal. Double D held onto her shirt, afraid that she would fall down it.
"Be careful! It could lead somewhere dangerous!" He warned. Alex roared and Ed jumped into the hole for an escape. Alex jumped in after him angrily. "NO!" Alyssa jumped in after her, and with Double D still holding onto her he fell in as well. Alice sprang up, her sunglasses falling off.
"Hey! Don't leave me with these people!" She screamed, then jumped in as well. Eddy looked at Johnny, and sprang in.
"WAIT FOR ME!" He yelled.
With Ed
"WAHOOOOO!" Ed screamed, going through twists and turns until he hit a grassy floor. "Uhhh… where am I…?" He mumbled, then looked around. In the distance were mountains and the blue… ocean? "WHERE IS EVERYBODY?" He cried out. Pipes sprouted from the ground, shiny and green. Curious, Ed stepped up to one of them and looked inside to nearly get eaten alive by some freaky red flower with teeth and white spots. It drooled and pondered if whatever was in front of it was good to eat or not. One whiff of the newcomer's scent made the plant gag and turn a sickly purple. One at a time, more plants came up from tubes and the earth, surrounding him. Ed looked around and his stomach growled loudly.
With Alex
She hit the rocky ground face down, and hit with a loud SMACK! "I am going to kill you Ed…" She muttered darkly. Getting up, the blonde noticed she wasn't anywhere close to the Cul-de-sac. Rather, she was in some strange rocky plains with a sea of lava next to it. The sky was a brown color and looking up, she could see that she was at the base of some sort of volcano. Something barked loudly. "Oooh, lava doggies!" She said excitedly, and hid behind the boulders to get a better look without scaring them. Instead of a 'lava doggie', a huge black ball of iron with eyes, a chain where its tail was supposed to be, and huge spiky teeth came out barking. Its exterior looked just about impossible to penetrate, shiny and not a single dent on its surface. "A... chain chomp?"
"BARK BARK!" One small chain chomp was being bullied by three bigger ones, and was being backed up to the lava. A small tear escaped its eye as it knew its doom was coming. Alex gasped as the three attacked, and shoved the tiny chomp into the pool, causing it to cry out before melting into the lava. The three howled with victory and Alex boiled with anger. With her fists clenched, she roared loudly and sprung into action.
With Double D and Alyssa
His grip remained on her shirt as they fell to possibly their doom. Alex and Ed disappeared from their line of view, and Alice and Eddy could be heard screaming just behind them. The portal suddenly curved and they were sent spiraling downwards. Double D began to go green and Alyssa passed out and had a nosebleed. They landed on a patch of dead grass and weeds, and nearby was a well. Double D couldn't hold it much longer and threw up in the well. The sickening sound of the vomit leaving his body and down the hole, then hitting the dry ground made her want to vomit as well as Alyssa got up and wiped the blood from her nose. It was dark, but the moon cast an eerie glow just enough to see. They were surrounded by a dark wood, all of the trees leafless and their branches curved strange to make the place look haunted. Double D turned from the woods, hoping to see something better in the clearing they were in, but swallowed hard instead. "A-A-Alyssa... look..." He pointed with a quivering finger.
"What is it- woah..." It was a huge dark and scary mansion, surrounded by a metal fence and the gates were open and rusty. More dead grass and weeds took up the yard and the windows were all cracked and the house looked more haunted then the woods. Alyssa's eyes got very glittery and she looked like a child on christmas morning. "It's so beautiful! Are those real gargoyles near the roof? Oh my gosh, there's an observatory on the top floor, and maybe they have catacombs somewhere! What do you think of that Double D? ...Double D?" She looked around to see that the boy had fled for his life into the woods, his screams of terror fading as he got farther and farther away. "DOUBLE D! WHERE ARE YOU?" She screamed. But now her only answer was the breeze blowing in, urging her to check out the mansion instead. Taking a deep breath to steady her excited heart, she went past the gates and opened the front door to the mansion.
With Double D
Running at possibly the speed of a cheetah, he fled from the mansion and rocketed out of the woods as fast as he could. Daylight hit his eyes, and a clean breeze hit his face. After a minute, his eyes adjusted and for some reason he was in a town of... mushroom people. All around he could see buildings and a white castle in the distance. "What a strange town... do you think we are in some strange medieval times Aly-" He turned to see that he had left her back at the mansion. "...Oh no."
Alice's POV
Oh man... this portal is going to make me sick! I stopped screaming a while after and all that really mattered was keeping my lunch in my stomach. Finally after what seemed to be an eternity, I landed on some bricks and my whole body ached like hell. It also felt like a I landed on something. Sitting up, I found that I landed on some sort of red clothed midget. Looking around, I found that I was in a town FULL of... Shy Guys? Did I land in some freaky Mario game or something? The shy guy I landed on scrambled to get out from under me, so I stood and he fled. Shy Guys stared at me like I was some sort of freak, then again, I must be the only human they've seen since Peach, Mario, or Luigi. "Uh... Hi?" I waved to a small child playing and the tiny shy guy hid behind his or her mom. "Can someone please tell me where I am?" I asked, shy guys not even daring to make a move. One came up to me, looking like he was very nervous for some reason.
"Are you with Mario?" He asked in a weak and trembling voice. These guys must really not like Mario. Not that I blame them.
"Isn't he with Peach?" I asked. The shy guy was silent for a moment before bursting out in laughter.
"You're not bad for a human girl! First one I've ever seen with a sense of humor!" He said. He seems like a very nice guy. "Well, since you're no enemy, let's get you somewhere safe. With those clothes I'm surprised you haven't been attacked by some sort of pervert." He grabbed my hand without warning and began to lead me away to somewhere. A few shy guys began to look at me weird, I could see blushes right through their masks for petes sake.
Eddy's POV
Oh God I think I'm going to throw up…. Yeah…. I'm gonna hurl. He could feel my stomach emptying as I span around. Finally after what? Five minutes of spinning? I landed on a grassy ground face down. I think I landed in some flowers too… something was tickling my face and it wasn't blades of grass. The vomit hit somewhere nearby, probably a bush or something. "Oh dear… Toad, what do you think that is?"
"I don't know Toadette. Stay behind me though." Something hard poked my side. "I don't think it's alive." I looked up to see… some freaky couple with mushrooms on their heads. The guy had a white mushroom with large red spots and had on some weird armor and a stick in his hand. Behind him was a girl with a pink spotted mushroom on her head, wore a dress, and mushroom braids. Freakiest people I've ever seen since Rolf. At least they can talk better. I sighed then passed out, head still spinning. "Oh my princess! It's a human!"
"Someone! Help! This young man doesn't look too good!" That was the last thing I heard before I saw only blackness.
Double D's POV
"Oh no oh no oh no… curses… now I'm all alone and I left her at that dreadful house!" I went on, cursing myself. A few mushroom people began to stare at my oddly because of my behavior. People whispered about the new human at the castle, and I began to wonder if they were talking about maybe one of my friends. A young mushroom person with blue and glasses passed, seeing him as a intellectual, I ran up to him. I am desperate for help, so much that I could have asked even a frog. Who knows, around here it might answer me. "Can you direct me to the shortest path to the castle?" I asked. The boy seemed perplexed by my sudden outburst at him. "I apologize for my rudeness, but I need to get there. It is of the utmost importance!" Shaken, the young man pointed to the left and I looked to see a castle gate with a gold star with eyes on it. "Thank you."
"N-No p-problem…" He stuttered out. Running as fast as I could, I went to the gates and they opened all by themselves. The yard was very large, but doable as I ran across the field.
"Oh if my gym teacher could see me now..." I panted out.
Alyssa's POV
I swear I was drooling like some huge guy at an all you can eat pizza buffet at Pizza Hut or something. When I had opened the door, a little ghost appeared in front of me and screamed "BLEEEHHH!". After it saw I wasn't scared, he looked at me, terrified and flew off. Probably to warn the others.
"Was that… a boo?" I questioned to myself. When I walked inside, the door slammed shut behind me by itself. "Oh man, it's like I'm living a horror film!" I said, clasping my hands together and eyes watering. The place had a huge chandelier on the roof, walls were old and breaking. Marble columns were holding up the wrecked roof and the stairs were busted so going up there wasn't much of a choice. Doors lined the halls and there was a huge hole in the center of the room under the chandelier. Old furniture were strewn randomly in the room collecting dust. I walked across to the halls and opened a door to find a empty room. Nothing inside just emptiness. Next room was just a dusty and busted up bedroom. The next room was some sort of music room though. And what made it even better is that I saw a boo trying to turn on an ancient record player but he wasn't strong enough. Silently as I could, I crept up behind him and tapped his head. He turned and shrieked, then flew away through the wall. "Wait! I was…" I looked at the record player and got an idea. Cranking the thing to life, dust sputtered out and old music began to play through the silent and aging house. One at a time, boos began to come into the room and dance. Too bad the music was a classical record, or this place would have been rocking out. Pretty soon I think I had the entire house dancing. I saw one boo in the corner, looking somewhat similar to the one that tried to scare me off when I got here, folding his arms and looking at me with scorn and dislike. Letting go of the crank, I went through the crowd of boos and held my hand out to him. "Care to dance Mr. Crabby?" I mocked. He narrowed his eyes but took my hand and I span him into the dance. It wasn't anything I was used to, dancing with a guy who had no legs and arms like little nubs. But it was a fun experience since I didn't have to worry about stepping on any toes and we literally went through anyone we touched. We all could have danced the night away if… the music hadn't stopped. We all looked at the source of the stopping, and my heart beat two times faster from excitement that day… or night. It's so dark around here I can't tell what time it is. Anyways, there, more red than white, floated King Boo. And he was less than pleased seeing me there.
Alex's POV
"BARK BARK!" I yelled, raising my fist in the air. The chain chomps barked with her. "AWWOOOOO!"
"AWWOOOOOO!" Howled the chain chomps with me. And to think they turned around and made me the head of the pack just because I shoved one into the lava... he must have been the alpha or something like that. A puppy chain chomp came to me and rubbed against my leg, purring.
"Heheheh... good little Stevie." I picked him up, and my arms nearly gave away from his immense weight.
With Ed
Ed hummed a merry tune as he ate his freshly plucked pihranna plants. He spat out the sharp teeth and nearly hit a passing mushroom person. He was very old by the looks and had brown spots on his hat. "FUNGUS ATTACK!"
"Oh my... EAGGH!" Ed leaped with teeth bared.
