A New Adventure?

Imagine a beautiful land, flowers, clouds, crystal clear water. Entrancing towns full of happy, cheerful people. Many different tourist attractions. This world is the mushroom kingdom. Now imagine if their were no flowers. If their were no clouds, except for the ones that are black and gray. If the water was sludgy and undrinkable. If the towns were full of gloom and despair. This is what the mushroom kingdom would be like if Bowser, the power-hungry giant turtle with a bad attitude, would take over. That doesn't sound very fun…does it?

Now I bet that you're thinking "But if this big turtle is so evil…then why hasn't he taken over yet?" Well...the answers quite simple, thanks to two amazing superheroes, Bowser's plans have been thwarted over and over. These super heroes, The Super Mario Brothers, not only save the day from Bowser they also live basic normal lives. Now in the mushroom kingdom, there is a king…and a princess…princess Peach! She was a beautiful princess, who has not only been kidnapped by Bowser before, but she also

Has been saved the same number of times by the Mario brothers.

The Mario Brothers, while they don't look it, are quit amazing. Luigi, the younger brother, is much taller and wearing his traditional green shirt and hat with printed L, blue overalls, brown shoes, with a large mustache. He isn't well known, because he usually stays home and watches their house. Mario, the older brother, is the more amazing one, depending on what you're talking about. He is short, and a little on the plump side wearing a red shirt and hat, with an M printed on it, Blue overalls, brown shoes, and even bigger mustache. The reason theses two are so amazing is their ability to break through the gravity barrier. These two can jump almost 3 times the height of a normal toad. Plus they're plumbers. That gives them a big advantage with hammers…for some reason.

It was a seemingly normal day and Mario and Luigi were eating breakfast, when Toad came rushing into their house.

"Mario! Mario! Quick hurry! The king! The princess! Oh dear me!" he shouted fainting to the ground.

"…" said Luigi, "You got to go!" he yelled.

"Mama-mia!" Yelled Mario jumping out of his seat and running towards the mushroom kingdom's castle.

"Oh no…Mario forgot his plumbers belt…I got to give it to him." Luigi sighed, running out of the house, not before closing and locking the door though.

When Mario arrived at the castle he quickly rushed towards the king's room, only to find he was unconscious on his throne chair.

"King Toadstool! Are you ok?" he asked.

"Must…tell…you…Mario…"

"What happened…Is it Peach?"

"…You have to…Open this pickle jar!" the king gasped, showing a pickle jar by his side.

"...WHAT! That's all!" shouted Mario.

"Well. Peach was kidnapped too…"

"Why didn't you tell me that in the first place?"

"Well…I was hungry…" he said sheepishly.

Mario sighed and grabbed the pickle jar, quickly unscrewing it.

"Now! Let me guess, Bowser was the one who kidnapped Peach?" asked Mario.

"Yeah! Quick go find her, I'm worrying too much, I think my old heart won't take it!" King Toadstool whined

"Alright…wait…where's my tool belt?" asked Mario.

"Brother!" Luigi yelled running into the throne room, waving the belt in the air.

"Luigi! Good job!" Mario shouted, grabbing the belt, and inspecting it, "Um…bro, this is your belt not mine!"

"Really?" Luigi wondered.

"Let's hurry back to the house to get my belt!" Mario shouted running towards the window.

"Mario, please have to decency to use the do-" The king started before Mario jumped out the window.

"Sorry!" Luigi muttered, jumping out the same window.

Shortly after they arrived at the Mario brother's house. Luigi unlocked the door to find Toad on the ground, pouting.

"Toad?" Mario asked.

"Seriously who locks every door and window in their house?" Toad grumbled.

"Well…" Luigi started.

"I don't want to hear it, I got my belt, let's go!" Mario shouted jumping out the window.

"Mario! What did you do that for?" Luigi asked following Mario out the door.

"Um…Luigi why are you following me?"

"I want to adventure with you for once!"

"Are you sure you're up for it?" Toad asked running up next to Luigi.

"Toad? What are you doing here?" Mario wondered.

"I'm coming too! I figure, I want to get glory too!"

"Well, Luigi can come, but Toad…"

"I have free mushrooms!" Toad begged.

"He's coming!" Luigi said grabbing Toad and throwing him over his shoulder.

"Ah! Hey this is inhuman! Let me down!" Toad shouted beating on Luigi's back as they ran down the road.

As they ran down the road to Bowser's castle the smell of charcoal came more and more strong. Suddenly out of the ground a hole seemed to just bubble up. Mario, Luigi and Toad skidded to a stop in front of it. All at once out of the hole Lava sprang forth, flowing only a small amount before dozens of flaming goombas flew out of the hole, screaming their heads off, and ran all around. Some of them were smart and stopped, dropped, and rolled. Some not so smart ones just kept running, and some really stupid ones stopped, dropped, and rolled right into the lava again.

"Hellllllllp us!" one of the goombas screamed, "They're all over!"

"They? Who are they?" Luigi asked, crouching to look at the goomba, "AH!"

"What is it?" Mario asked.

"It's…that isn't lava! Those are tiny little creatures!" Luigi exclaimed.

"Hey! I just noticed…these aren't Bowser's troops! These are goombas from goomba village!" Toad exclaimed.

Suddenly the lava that was oozing across the ground stopped, and turned towards Luigi, Mario, and Toad. It sprang up and flew at our heroes. All of a sudden a small brown blur flew at it, and the minute the blur hit the lava it froze. The blur bounced off and landed on the ground. It was a goomba wearing a blue spiky cap.

"Hiya!" It greeted, "I'm Bloomba!"

"Uh…hi…" Toad greeted.

"Thanks…um…if you don't mind me asking was you-" Mario began.

"Yes…my Father was a goomba and my mother was a blooper." Bloomba explained, "Now if you'll excuse me, I got to save the others!"

"Well…I'm helping the best I can!" Mario agreed rushing in the fray, hammer in hand.

"Um…I'll stay here and cheer!" Toad gulped, pushing Luigi into the fight.

"Hey!" Luigi yelped, "Stop pushing!"

The little lava creatures, realizing they couldn't win, quickly flew off of the other goomba's and formed together to make one big blob of lava. It resembled a large goomba made of lava, two large soulless eyes on its face.

"Who are you to interfere with our plansssss." The creature hissed.

"I'm Mario, this is my brother Luigi, and this is Bloomba." Mario answered pointing at Bloomba and Luigi, "Who are you?"

"Ha ha ha…I am Moltar…who isssss that one?" Moltar asked, looking at Toad, who hopped back a few inches.

"I…I…I'm Toad!" Toad stammered.

"Hmmm…you look essssspecially tasssssty." Moltar chuckled.

"W…w…w…who? Me?" Toad stuttered, moving back even more.

"Leave him alone, your beef is with me! Who do you think you are! Barging into goomba village, attacking everyone!" Bloomba yelled.

"Ha! Your village wasssss pathetic! It put up no fight! But thisssss place, thisssss cassssstle hasssss many tasssssty thingsssss." Moltar laughed.

"Enough! I won't let you eat anymore! Even if it is Bowser's keep!" Bloomba yelled, jumping at Moltar. But Moltar immediately broke apart and seeped away towards Bowser's keep.

"We have to follow!" Bloomba yelped.

"Alright! And we have to save the princess!" Mario agreed, running with Bloomba towards Bowser's keep.

"I wonder where Moltar came from…" Luigi wondered, following after Mario, "Let's go Toad."

"Ok." Toad Replied.

Inside Bowser's castle it was insane! Little Moltars were running all around, attacking everyone in the vicinity of the castle, koopas running around, aflame, smacking into each other, desperately trying to put out the flames, not knowing they weren't actually flames at all. Even through all the screaming and running you could faintly hear, "Yesssss…quite better food…"

"Mario quick! Get to work! Take this!" Yelled Bloomba tossing a pair of blue boots out from under his cap, "Those are Ice boots, that way you can jump on him!"

"Alright!" Mario said putting on the boots, "Luigi…use a metal cap!"

"Ok!" Luigi yelled plopping on a metal cap, instantly becoming 3 tons of gleaming steel, and rushing into the fray.

"And…um…I'll just stay and…oh! Mario, Luigi, Bloomba! If you're wounded come to me! I'll fix you right up!" Toad yelled, waving a mushroom in the air, witch was quickly snatched up by a koopa, who swallowed it in one gulp.

"Hey!" Toad scolded, whacking the koopa on the head furiously.

Suddenly all the little Moltars formed back into the big one.

"Well, well, well…aren't we the persssssissssstent onesssss?"

"Shut up you big oaf!" Bloomba yelled.

"Ha ha ha ha! You're all foolisssssh to follow me!" Moltar bellowed.

"Let's get him! Toad stay back for healing! Luigi go from th-"But before Mario could finish Moltar plowed into him, sending him flying across the room, into the wall.

"Hey! That was a low blow!" Luigi yelled Jumping at Moltar, connecting with his head.

"Ow! Huh? How did you touch me? Thisssss isssss not possssssssssible!" Moltar screamed.

"Oy!" Bloomba yelled going in for a head bonk, but Moltar moved out of the way.

"Err!" Moltar Growled Releasing Fire breathe at Luigi, blowing the metal cap off his head and out the window.

"Do'h!"

"Ha!" Bloomba yelled flying at Moltar, who was too slow and got his foot frozen too the ground.

"What?" Moltar Yelled, "Imposssssssssssible!"

"Ha!" Luigi yelled, who continued to relentlessly pummel Moltar with Bloomba while he couldn't move.

"Ahhhh…can't take much longer…" Moltar panted.

"Alright!" Luigi yelled, "Let's give him the final blow!"

Just as they were about to deliver the "final blow" An explosion came from the other door, and out burst Bowser stomping towards them, a small green-shelled koopa walking after him.

"Ok! Who's the one who's been destroying my castle! Out with it!" Bowser growled.

"Yeah!" The smaller koopa piped up.

"This guy right here!" Toad yelled pointing at Moltar.

"Toad shut up!" Luigi shushed.

"Oops…"

"Ha! Now feel the wrath of Bowser!" Bowser Gloated, bathing Moltar in a torrent of flames.

"No!" Bloomba Yelled.

Suddenly Moltar jumped up, and broke free of the ice.

"Ha! You ssssstupid insssssolent fool of a dinosssssuar! I'll be back my little friendsssss" Laughed Moltar, seeping into the ground.

"No!" Bloomba Wept.

"Oh…um…sorry." Toad stuttered.

"Huh?" Asked Mario, waking up, "Bowser! Where's the princess!"

"What? I don't have your stinking princess!"

"But…then who does?" Luigi wondered.

"…" Mario said.

"…" Luigi said.

"…" Toad said.

"…" Bloomba said.

"Moltar!" they all yelled.

"Moltar?" Bowser asked.

"Moltar!" They repeated.

"You mean that big dude was Moltar?" Bowser Asked.

"Yes! That was Moltar!" They yelled.

"So the-" Began Bowser, before the little green koopa yelled stop.

"This is getting us nowhere…" The koopa mumbled.

"Who is that anyway?" Mario asked pointing at the koopa.

"That is my son!" Bowser boasted proudly.

"Yeah! I'm Dave the koopa! Heir to the throne!" Dave yelled.

"…You?" Mario asked.

"Yeah! You got a problem?" Dave asked.

"Um…no…" Mario mumbled.a

"Good."

"Well…we have to find that Moltar jerk!" Bowser said.

"What do you mean we?" Toad asked.

"I have to get revenge on what this Moltar punk did to my castle!" Bowser growled.

"I see…and you want to travel with us?" Mario asked.

"Um…well it's better to travel in a group right?" Bowser muttered.

"Ok…but I can't say I'll like it." Mario mumbled.

"I say we should head to Merlin's house." Explained Bloomba, "he could tell us where to go!"

"Yeah!" Luigi agreed.

Our group starts to walk out the door, and when they leave they expect to see a sunny day, but instead find themselves in nothingness. Pitch dark all around them, not just nighttime dark but more, you can't see anything dark. It was as though they all went completely blind.

"Hey? Whoa…what the?" Dave exclaimed.

"I can't see anything!" Luigi whined.

"Here…let's go back into the castle!" Bowser suggested.

Behind them they could here fumbling around, then the sound of a heavy body hitting the ground.

"Um…We have a problem…"Bowser mumbled.

"What?" Toad asked.

"The castle's gone…"

"What!" Bloomba yelled.

Suddenly, as though a light switch had been flicked, there was a blinding light. Our heroes were standing in a circle. Mario had a glowing red jewel in front of him. Luigi had a yellow one in front of him. Toad had a white one in front of him. Bloomba had a blue one in front of him. Dave had a green one in front of him. And Bowser had a purple one in front of him. They were in what looked like a temple, it was broken down, and you could see trees and shrubs from outside. The jewels in front of each of them suddenly flashed and disappeared. In the middle of them a Gold star came into sight.

"My friends." It said, "I have brought you here for a quest…you must Gain all of those crystals that you saw, and bring them to me."

"Oh?" Bowser said, lifting his eyebrow, "And who exactly are you?"

"I am Raz C. The Keeper of the gemerelds…"

"Gemerelds?" Mario asked.

"Yes…they have been stolen…and if they aren't returned…then the world will perish…"

"WHAT?" Luigi yelled.

"Why should we believe you?" Toad asked, "I mean…what's the proof?"

"Here…I will tell you the story…"

-----2 hours later-----

"Wow…" Toad whispered.

"Yeah…I'm totally convinced now…" Bowser Agreed.

"Where are we anyway?" Dave asked.

"We are deep within Yoshi's island." Raz explained.

"Yoshi's Island? How did we get here?" Mario asked scratching his head.

"I Brought you here…You must hurry…before they come for me…" Raz gasped.

"Who?" Bowser asked.

"They are called the "Aqua Co." and they will stop at nothing to gain the gemerelds…" Raz explained.

"But…didn't you say that they were stolen already?" Toad asked.

"Um…Well…you see…uh…in order to use the gemerelds…they…uh…need me to…um…access them…yeah…" Stuttered Raz

"Ok…then where are the gemerelds?" Mario wondered.

"You should sense your designated ones…Mario has the Ruby Gemereld…only he can touch it…Luigi to the Gold Gemereld…Toad to the Crystal…Bloomba to the sapphire…Dave to the emerald…And Bowser to the amethyst…" Raz explained.

"I see…" Luigi whispered.

"If you follow your hearts…then you'll find the gemerelds…" Raz Said, "Now go!"

Suddenly there was and explosion outside smoke poured into the temple.

"Quick! Go! They're here and they're coming…I'll cloak the temple…go!" Raz yelled floating calmly upstairs.

They rushed outside and ran right into a small herd of yoshis. The yoshis panicked and quickly tried to run away, but the biggest one, who was green, recognized Mario and rounded up the others.

"Yoshi!" Green Yelled.

"Yoshi! Yoshi?" A red one said looking darkly at the group.

"Yoshi…Yoshi…" The green one smiled, pointing at Mario.

"Yoshi!" A Dark blue one smirked.

"Yoshi Yoshi Yoshi!" A light brown one yelled, franticly pointing at Bowser.

"Yoshi…" The green one trailed off.

Through this conversation, our heroes were standing off to the side looking bewildered.

"Um…anyone catch any of that?"

"I didn't…Mario what did they say?"

"What makes you think I'd know?"

"Well the green one seemed to recognize you!"

"That's Yoshi! Mario told me about him…"

"I can speak Yoshi!"

Everyone turned to look at Dave.

"What…I can…" Dave said.

"Ok then…what did they say?" Mario asked.

"Well…First the green one said 'That's Mario! He can help us!' Then the red one said 'what makes you so sure?' Green replied with 'He's helped me before! He's nice!' The Dark blue one said 'Alright!' Then the light brown one yelled 'Oh my god it's Bowser! He'll kill and eat us all! What's he doing there?' the green responded with 'I don't know'…" Dave explained.

"Eat them? Eww!" Bowser gasped, putting his finger in his mouth like he was gagging.

"Well…" Mario sighed.

Suddenly out of the bushes burst a bunch of yoshis, who were being ridden by some weird little creatures, who were dressed in Blue jumpsuits, with orange goggles on, and on the suits were a raindrop pin. They pulled sharply on the Yoshi's reins, which were obviously put on the yoshis to keep them under control.

"Ha! There they are!" An Aqua member laughed pulling out a walkie talkie, "We got them…no…no…we can handle it…ok…Rodger…"

"Um…sir…who are those guys?" Another member asked, pointing at our heroes.

"I don't know…Hey you six! Who are you and what are you doing here?" The leader asked.

"We are the…um…treasure hunters! Who are you?" Mario asked stepping forward.

"Ha! You are in no position to ask questions." The leader asked, "But I'm in a good mood…I'm Zander of the Tsunami Squad!"

"Tsunami squad? What's that?" Luigi whispered.

"I don't know…" Toad responded.

"Quiet! You…the fat chubby mustached guy! Who are you?" Zander asked.

"Hey! I'm Mario!" Mario yelled, as Dave snickered behind him.

"Ok…you…tall lanky dork with the green hat!" Zander demanded.

"I despise that!" Luigi growled.

"Name!"

"Luigi…"

"You…the…um…Talking, walking mushroom…" Zander asked.

"Hey? Haven't you ever heard of a toad before?" Toad asked.

"Oh…so you're a toad…I see…" Zander murmured, "Ok…The tiny little midget with the spike?"

"I'm Bloomba…and will you sop insulting us?"

"No." Zander laughed, "The Overly large turtle…no not the ugly one the smaller one…"

"Dave…And I'm a koopa…"

"Uh…yeah…a koopa…Now the ugly big one…"

"…I'm…going…to…kill…you…so…painfully…that…that…" Bowser snarled in short gasps, steam practically pouring from his ears.

"Yes? Out with it, you overgrown Ugly lizard." Zander laughed looking behind him at his comrades, unable to notice Bowser lifting his head behind him, turning just in time to see a massive 'bout of flames hurtle at him.

"AHHHHHHH!" Zander screamed, burning from the inside out.

"Boss!" The other Members shouted.

"HA! That's my true power! Ha!" Bowser gloated, glaring at Zander's Smoking twitching, body.

"Um…CODE RED! CODE RED! RETREAT!" The two remaining members cried, dragging Zander's body from the clearing.

"Alright dad!" Dave laughed jumping up and high-fiving Bowser.

"It's all in a days work, son…" Bowser replied.

"Oh stop bragging and listen, the Yoshi's are talking." Mario Said, "After those guys left the dropped these things," Mario held up a small pouch, "And inside was candy…it allowed us to understand them."

"Gimme!" Bowser Yelled grabbing the pouch and gulping down the candy.

"Bowser!" Mario yelled, "That was all of it!"

"Too bad so sad!" Bowser laughed.

"Will you two listen and shut up!" The red Yoshi yelled walking over to them, "My friend was talking before you interrupted…"

"Um…thanks…now as I was saying, we have decided, after Luigi told us of your predicament, to help you find the gemerelds." The green Yoshi explained, "Now each of you line up, and we will choose who we want to travel with…"

"I call the koopa!" The Blue Yoshi yelled, running at Dave, "I'm Boshi…Hop on little dude!"

"Awesome!" Dave exclaimed jumping on Boshi's back.

"I've got Mario!" the green one yelled, "As you know, I'm Yoshi!"

"Ok!" Mario laughed jumping on Yoshi.

"Um…I'll take Bowser!" The red Yoshi smirked, "I'm Roshi!"

"Eh…whatever…just don't get in my way…" Bowser growled.

"I was just going to say the same thing…" Roshi snarled.

"Ok…"

"Fine…"

"Those two are going to get along fine…" Bloomba laughed.

"I'll take the funny Goomba…" A light blue one said seemingly appearing out of nowhere, "My name is Xoshi…"

"Um...ok…" Bloomba said, jumping on Xoshi's back.

"I'll take Luigi…" The fidgety Light brown Yoshi said, "Hi…I'm Gilbert…"

"Hi Gilbert..." Luigi smiled, climbing on Gilbert's back.

"What about me?" Toad asked, scanning the clearing.

"I'll take you!" Yelled a black Yoshi, bursting into the clearing, "My name is Soshi…but you can call me…Fade…" Fade whispered.

"Cool!" Toad laughed, jumping on Fade's back.

"Alright! Let's get going! Um…where are we going?" Mario asked.

"A few yards away, over there," Yoshi replied pointing east into a bunch of bushes, "Is a pipe system that leads to a series of pipes, leading to every place around here…that's how we will travel…I don't think we are able to travel as one group. We gotta split up…" Yoshi explained.

"Ok…" Everyone agreed.

-----Back at the temple-----

"Hmm…ha! My dear princess…your friends were downstairs…too bad…" Raz chuckled looking into a large cage, with a bed and a bathroom.

"You evil beast! Why'd you kidnap me? That's Bowser's job!" Princess Peach yelled.

"Ha! The stupid fools are going to bring the Gemerelds right to me… And since the real Gemereld guardian is out of the picture, the world is mine!" Raz Cackled.

"Why did you capture me though?" Peach asked.

"Ha! I'm not going to tell you…I didn't have Moltar keep you quiet for no reason you know…If only they had spelt my name backwards…Raz C. I'm a genius!" Raz laughed floating downstairs.

"Backwards…Raz C? Oh my god…Razc!"

(That's the end of chapter one! Tell me how you liked it! Review, whatever…sorry if parts of this sound like other stories…don't hurt me!
