Hey everyone, it's me, The Goon. This new story I'm uploading is a sequel to one of my previous fanfics, Countdown to Doomsday, and hopefully, it will do better than [or just as good as] Countdown to Doomsday. Enjoy the first chapter :)
Disclaimer: I do not own Nintendo or any characters, except for Darkkoopa.
Story (if you did not read Countdown to Doomsday, and have no plans to, then you should read this part first): Princess Peach was about to celebrate her royal birthday, but then Bowser and his right hand man Kamek steal one of 30 Ultimate Power Stars and send Luigi to another world. Mario, Peach, and Kirby set off to find him, and along the way, try to help a baby penguin, which Peach names Frosty, find its mother.
Different Nintendo heroes either conflict or join forces. All of them are connected to the Ultimate Power Stars, and they all start fighting each other for it, until a new enemy steps in…an organization called P.V.U (Powerful Villains United) and their leader, Dimentio, a psychotic jester that Mario fought against before.
After a brawl at the Koopa Bros.' Fortress, an invasion to reclaim Yoshi's Island, and escaping a time bomb in Sunset Wilds, many Nintendo heroes end up at Peach's Castle, which has been taken over by Bowser and his minions. They enter the castle to take it back, and Mario battles Bowser as usual, but more chaos ensues when Bowser's "loyal" servant, Darkkoopa, kidnaps Bowser Jr. and Samus Aran, and Dimentio arrives and destroys their world.
Everyone wakes up in an alternate dimension created by Dimentio. Because of Dimentio's threat to destroy all existence, and the hostage situation caused by Darkkoopa, Mario and his friends join forces with Bowser and Kamek to stop them both. Fortunately, Samus and Bowser Jr. escape on their own, and are saved by Meta Knight, who brings Darkkoopa down for good. When they all reunite, they learn the true master plan Dimentio has set…to use the power of the Ultimate Power Stars to bring Doomsday to the present moment and destroy everything.
After many long, rough battles, they defeat Dimentio and the P.V.U, but they don't exactly make it to home, sweet home…they all find themselves on an island in the middle of the ocean. It doesn't matter to them, though. After the chaos they had been through, they all lie down and fall asleep.
Darkkoopa's dark red shell still sat in the middle of nowhere. The ground was gray and cracked, and there was nothing but mist and fog surrounding it. In fact, Darkkoopa's shell was the only thing other thing for miles…well, that and the two silhouettes that were coming towards it. One was a small, hooded figure. The other was a floating, ghost-like being that was holding a lantern. Both emerged from the mist. The robes on the hooded figure were green, and the floating ghost was what was known to the people of Hyrule as a Poe.
"What is that up ahead, Eddie?" asked the hooded figure.
"It appears to be a turtle shell," said Eddie.
"What does it feel like?" asked the hooded figure.
"It has a powerful aura…it belonged to someone powerful who was once alive," said Eddie.
"I think this is the one," said the hooded figure, "We'll bring it with us."
Kirby opened his eyes to a bright, blue sky. He could hear the waves of the ocean crawling up the sandy shores. He remembered everyone passing out after the big battle against the P.V.U, but when he looked around, he was the only one on the beach…or so he thought, until Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong landed on top of him.
"Wow, that was a great nap!" remarked Diddy Kong, who was still yawning.
"Yep," replied Donkey Kong, "And now for some…hey, where is everyone?"
"Yeah, where are they?" asked Diddy Kong.
That's when Donkey Kong felt something struggling under him. He got up and saw that he sat on Kirby.
"Oh, sorry, little pink guy," said Donkey Kong, "I didn't see you there!"
Kirby inhaled Donkey Kong and shot him into a tree.
"I said I was sorry!" said Donkey Kong, rubbing his injured head.
"Anyway, where could they all have gone?" asked Diddy Kong.
Kirby ran to the trees and pointed at the sand. There were footprints left behind. One set of prints were those of a shoe, the other was in the shape of penguin feet. Wherever they were, Frosty was definitely with them.
"Maybe we should follow these tracks," suggested Donkey Kong.
Donkey Kong led Diddy Kong and Kirby through the forest, following the tracks. Kirby looked around as if something was following them. Then Donkey Kong stopped short. The tracks had faded away. They were now in the middle of the forest on a strange island that they didn't know their way around.
"Well this is just perfect," complained Donkey Kong, "Now how are we supposed to find everybody else?"
"Perhaps I could help," said a voice from above.
"God?" asked Donkey Kong.
"No, but I'm as close as it's actually going to get," said the voice, "Look up here."
They all looked up and on a tall tree, there sat, on the long tree branch, an owl with long eyebrows. The owl was filled with wisdom. Kirby knew that much by the look in its eyes.
"Was that really the owl?" asked Diddy Kong.
"Yes," the owl said, "I am known as Kepora Gebora, but you can just call me one or the other. I have helped the Links in their past adventures."
"Yeah, speaking of the Links," said Donkey Kong, "We're looking for them, along with everyone else that was here on this island with us. Can you help us out?"
"That's what I'm here for," replied Gebora, "I do not know exactly everyone who was with you, or where some of them are, but I do know where a few of them are, including the Links. But…"
"But what?" asked Donkey Kong, "Is there some kind of catch? What do we gotta give you?"
"Nothing for me," said Gebora, "But you must be prepared for the long, perilous journey ahead of you."
"Long and perilous?" asked Donkey Kong, "C'mon, how bad could this island be? We just gotta find our lost amigos and there, we're finished!"
"I'm afraid it is more complex than that," said Gebora, "You must listen to me. The P.V.U was defeated, that much is true."
He knows about the P.V.U? thought Donkey and Diddy Kong.
"However, that was just the beginning of what is to come," said Gebora, "You prevented Doomsday from arriving earlier than it should. But time flies by. We can't go forward, and we can't go backward, without disturbing natural order. You prevented Doomsday, but that does not stop Doomsday from coming eventually."
"What are you going on about?" asked Donkey Kong.
"There are other evil forces at work as we speak," said Gebora, "One of which you have dealt with before. Only this time, it will not be so easy. When the time comes, you will be faced with hard choices. Some choices have to be taken over others. All of you who defeated the P.V.U…the time has come for you to once again save the world, and all of existence. It all rests on your shoulders."
Gebora flew up, dropping feathers as he flew off.
"I must keep a good distance," he said, "Follow the feathers to find your friends."
Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Kirby were bamboozled by Gebora's words. Was there more work in store for them? No matter, they followed Gebora to wherever he was heading.
Inside of a small house in Toad Town, or rather, in the basement of a small house, the green hooded figure and Eddie were watching over the unconscious Darkkoopa. His body was back in his shell, but he was still unconscious.
"You have some impressive skills to get this far in bringing Darkkoopa back to life," the hooded figure said to Eddie.
"Seeing as I am technically a spirit, it's only natural for me to have spiritual powers," said Eddie.
"You're still one of the most powerful foes I have ever encountered," said the hooded figure, "and that is why I have recruited you. Soon, I will recruit Darkkoopa as well, and my plan can be carried out further.
The hooded figure took off his hood. He was a Toad as well. He had green spots on his cap, and had swirly glasses with a gray, pointed moustache. He brushed his fingers through his moustache and cackled.
"The revenge of Greed E. Toad will soon be at hand!"
To be continued...
