Treasure of Souls!
Introduction Part One
Cast: Mario, Luigi, Toad, Cielia (New Character), And Many More!!
The Staff of Souls, a very powerful & sacred item, has been said to be
nothing more then a myth & legend for centuries. This mystical item has
the power to control any living soul in the world. Only those who are pure
of heart and soul were able to use this powerful artifact.
However, there was a loophole.
Even if you're not pure of heart & soul, you can use it, IF, you have another special item that is pure of heart. A good example is the mystic Amulat that belongs to famed Mario. If both the Staff of Souls & a special item were to fall into the wrong hands, our world would meet a gruesome end. This is the tale, of such a fate.
It all begins when our main hero, Mario, is taking his afternoon nap. But
when he wakes up, he finds himself in a room he is unfamiliar with.
Furthermore, his arms & legs are chained and he can't struggle free. Suddenly,
a woman and two huge men enter the room. The woman laughs at Mario and
says,
"How do you like your temporary treatment? It took a lot of courage &
effort to bring you here."
Mario was not amused, and demanded to know who she was. The evil lady just giggled and said,
"My name is not of importance to you at the moment. However, you will
know once it's time for your execution"
Mario did not like the sound of execution, and decided to use the power of
his family heirloom to set him free. Sadly, he realzed that he wasn't wearing
it. Then the woman took out what looked to be his amulat!
"Looking for this? I knew you'd try to use this to escape!"
Mario was very shocked that she took his family treasure from under his nose. Then the woman said,
"I need this little beauty so I'll be one step closer to finding the ultimate treasure! But as long as you're still around, this masterpiece will still belong to you! So if I want to become it's next owner, then I'm afraid I cannot allow you to live!"
Mario's eyes were filled with anger as she was laughing evily. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must get ready for your execution. Spare some last minute thoughts before I return." And with that said, the mysterious woman left the room, leaving one of her guards to watch over Mario. For sometime afterwards, Mario had kept struggling to free himself. The huge man laughed at the sight and said,
"Don't waste ya breath! That chain is unbreakable against anything, except maybe fire."
Mario was silent. Then he asked the man if it really wasn't fireproof. The huge man just chuckled and said,
"Of course not! Metal chains aren't that strong against fire. Not that it really matters to a little shrimp like you."
The huge man had just made a HUGE mistake. What he didn't realize was that,
wielding fire is Mario's Specialty. So then, Mario closed his eyes, and started
forming fire around his round little body. Then he opened his fire lit eyes and
started struggling again. The big man's mouth opened his mouth so wide, that
it almost covered his overweight body. Finally, Mario was free from his chains.
After that, he did a good stretch, put on his hat, said goodbye to the guard, and
left in search for his kidnapper. The big man screamed like a little girl, and ran
as fast as he could to warn his master.
Meanwhile, the woman that captured Mario was in her quarters, putting on
her make-up and getting ready for the execution she planned for Mario. Then,
the same man that was watching over Mario barged right in, panicking.
"MILADY!! It's terrible!! It's catastrophic!! IT'S..."
"DAMMIT SOLDIER!!! GET TO THE POINT!!!"
"That Mario guy you asked me to watch over has escaped!!"
"WHAT!!? THAT PLUMBER PEST ESCAPED!!?"
The woman was extremly angry and grabbed the soldier.
"HOW DID MARIO ESCAPE? I THOUGHT WE CHAINED HIM UP REAL GOOD!!"
"Well, you see milady, he has these strange fire powers and used them to struggle free..."
"WAIT!! How did he know?"
The guard was starting to sweat in fear.
"Well...I..."
"IMBECILE!!!! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!"
The woman had surprisingly thrown the huge man out the window, where he
would fall to his untimely demise. The other guards were starting to fear the sight.
Then the woman turned around at an angry pace and pointed at the guards.
"WELL DON'T JUST STAND THERE YOU PEA-BRAINS!! FIND MARIO AT ONCE OR SO HELP ME YOU WILL FACE THE SAME FATE YOU JUST WITNESSED!!! NOW MOVE!!!!"
The petrified guards ran off in a hurry to find Mario. And that's how Mario's Latest Adventure Begins!
