Hey everybody this is TheYoshster here with my first story ever! I really hope you enjoy it and since it's pretty much complete now I've decided to update the chapters. If you're wondering what this story is about, it's about Kooper, Bombette, and Parakarry(eventually the other partners from Paper Mario) and their trials in the Glitz Pit to take on Spike the Yoshi(The Great Gonzales Jr.) and win the prize money. It's got some hilarious moments and tons of action(not to mention it often references Child at Heart Forever's acclaimed Paper Mario X series) So enjoy!

Chapter 1: The Pit's Challenge

It was a fairly warm day in Koopa Village, and it was around the middle of the day at the time. Kooper just got back home from an exhausting expedition with Kolerado and he was feeling awfully tired. At the time Kooper was fast asleep on his hammock with a magazine covering his face, and he's been asleep for nearly an hour now. All of a sudden there was a knock on his door, which startled the Koopa causing him to fall out of the hammock, flat on his face. He shouted out loud "OWWW! WHAT THE HELL!" The door knocked again and Kooper was annoyed for the rude awakening and he walked over to the door, rubbing his head. He opened the door and he saw Kolorado's wife at the door.

Kolorado's wife noticed he looked like he woke up and she said to him "Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't know you were trying to get some rest Kooper!"

Kooper rubbed his eyes for a bit until he was fully awake and he told her "Nah, I was just relaxing in bed…until I fell asleep. Wow! How long have I been sleeping for? What time is it?"

Kolorado's wife answered "It's 4 in the afternoon, and I'm just made it back…unlike my stubborn husband! Is he going on ANOTHER expedition!"

Kooper explained to her "Yeah, he is, I would've gone too...If I wasn't so exhausted from the last one! I guess traveling with Mario, Link, Kirby, Sonic, and Samus, then going on an expedition with Kolorado has really worn me out!"

"Well at least you can tell when it's time to take a break! I just wanted to stop by and make sure you and my husband were back, but I guess he cares more about himself and his crazy expeditions!" She thought for a moment and she remembered Bombette passing by earlier wondering where Kooper was. "Oh! I almost forgot! Bombette was looking for you, she said something about meeting her in Pleasant Path."

"Well Okay! I don't want to keep her waiting any longer, before she blows up and kills someone! I'll see you later Mrs. K!" He said goodbye to Kolorado's Wife and headed to the main gate.

On Koopers way the Koopa at the main gate; Koover yelled out to him "YO KOOPER!"

Kooper dashed over to him and answered him "Hey Koover, what's up!"

"Oh, same old...unfortunately. It's great to see you're back in town! How was that expedition?"

"It was rather exhausting! So exhausting I didn't go on the second expedition he was planning to visit some old ruins, and I did miss the warm weather of Koopa Village after a bit. It's fricken freezing in the Shiver Region!"

"Cool! Try not to become a workaholic like Kolorado though!"

Kooper then replied "Yeah…Well I'll see you later dude! Bombette's waiting for me at Pleasant Path." He walked out of the village and into Pleasant Path after.

Kooper walked along the trail leading to Koopa Village and up the hill leading to the main road, and when he reached the top of the hill he noticed the pink Bob-Omb with a blonde braid for a fuse pacing back and forth, looking a bit annoyed. He greeted her "Hey Bombette!"

She was rather annoyed about some news she heard earlier and she said "Oh! Hey Kooper, I got something to show you!"

Kooper replied, wondering why she looked so annoyed "What is it…and why do you look so annoyed?"

Bombette looked over towards the bridge and said "I just heard from some of my friends back at the Fortress that those losers, the Koopa Bros are going to attempt to take back the fortress. I swear if they do!" She scowled.

The Koopa Bros walked along the path leading to their Fortress and Red was talking "Dudes this has gotta be our most brilliant plan yet! We are SO gonna take back the fortress!"

Black agreed with him and replied "Yeah huh! I'm already feeling today is our lucky day! Especially after owning that wimpy Dark Koopa!" As they got closer to the door they could hear voices from inside the Fortress.

Yellow shriked in sudden horror"AHHH! There's Boos inside!"

Red reassured him and said "Relax dude! Like a bunch of Bo..." He opened the door to find a whole army of Bob-Ombs at the entrance and fiinished his scentence "Bob-Ombs?"

The leader of the Bob-Ombs shouted "ALRIGHT EVERYONE ON THE COUNT OF THREE! ONE...TWO..."

Green shouted before they could get to three "EVERYONE RUN AWAY! THEY'RE GONNA BLOW!"

Before they could a bunch of Bob-Ombs jumped from the roof and bounced on their heads and the leader yelled "THREE!" At that moment there was a massive explosion sending the bros flying into the lake, all charred. The leader yelled as he reformed "GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE YOU NINJA TURTLE WANABES!" The doors then slammed shut.

Green then said as he dusted his self off, removing all the mud "How can they do that to us! We're the Koopa Bros!"

Red said with an angered tone "That was NOT cool! They're gonna get it someday!"

Yellow was flailing his arms around in the lake screaming "HELP ME! I CAN'T SWIM! AHHHHH!" Yellow was really over reacting, like always.

Red yelled "IDIOT! Try standing up!"

Yellow stood up noticing the water was only up to the bottom of his shell and he became embarrassed, and said "Uh...hehehe I guess I don't need to swim..."

Red and Green said at the same time, as they rolled their eyes "Moron!" They got out of the pond, feeling defeated and headed back to their apartment in Toad Town. They now knew they couldn't take back the fortress

The explosion could be heard from Kooper and Bombettes spot and Kooper shouted "WHOA! What the hell was that?"

Bombette giggled and said "Hooray they did it! That was a Bob-Omb Rebellion! That'll chase those lame Koopas out for sure!"

Kooper replied "I'm glad it will! I can't stand those losers! Oh, and what did you want from me?"

"Oh! I wanted to show you this!" Bombette pulled out a flier for the Glitz Pit and Kooper took a look at it.

Kooper seemed interested as he read "Are you strong? How much can you endure? Do think you have what it takes? If so head over to Rougeport, and take a trip to Glitzville!"

"Yeah! I wanted you to join me there and fight alongside me! I heard from Mario he competed along with Link and Sonic, and a close friend of his is the current champ."

Kooper was interested in going, but it was just all of a sudden for him. He said "I'd love to help you Bombette, but I'm just a bit tired from the expedition I just went on."

"Oh come on Kooper, the prize is 5,000 coins, and It would make me VERY angry if you refuse to go, after Goombario turned my request down, Bow was busy scaring that Toad in front of the forest, Sushi…Well she disapproves of the idea, I don't think Watt really likes violence that much, Lakilester was too busy, and god knows where Parakarry is!"

Kooper rethought his decision and told her, like he was full of energy, but mainly because he didn't want to be blown up "Alright! I'll go fight with you!"

Bombette was very optimistic at this point, and she said "Good! We're leaving tomorrow morning for the boat to Rougeport. Try to take it easy today, you'll need all the strength you have tomorrow!"

Kooper agreed "Alright! I'll see you then!"

Bombette began to walk back to the fortress and said "Bye Kooper!"

He then walked back to Koopa Village and decided he should get some rest seeing as it was almost 6pm. He then went home and made himself some dinner, and he was back to where he started around 7pm, trying to get some rest.

Alright so Kooper and Bombette now plan on challenging the Glitz Pit. Can they make it to the top? Keep on reading!
