I don't own the Axems or any Mario-related characters.

Axem Blue sat in his living room reading the paper. One of the articles said, "THEFT AT MARIO'S HOUSE".

BLUE: Who would be stupid enough to steal from Mario? Who even could steal from him?

ARTICLE: Mario woke up the next morning and saw that something was missing. His ultra stone. "an ultra stone is a rare stone that poseses the power to send its holder from super rank to ultra rank the next time they hit a super block," says reporter Daniel.

BLUE: (thinking) Whoever this thief is, he or she is without honor. The sunlight from the window was suddenly gone. Blue goes outside to investigate. A huge silver battle axe is floating above his house.

BLUE: Could it be?

Something jumps out it in a flash of silver lightning.

BLUE: Silver. It's you.

Yes. It was Axem Silver. His body shape was the same as Axem Green's was. Only he was silver.

SILVER: Blue. It's been too long!

BLUE: Incredible. I thought I'd never see another axem again. Where have you been?

SILVER: Since the factory was destroyed, I decided to take me and my blade into space and explore the galaxy. I was passing by earth, so I thought I'd stop and visit. I hope I'm not intruding.

BLUE: Not at all. Come in.

SILVER: I will. As soon as I've parked my blade in a better place.

His blade is parked in the meadow next to the mansion where Axem Blue's own blade is at.

BLUE: You must have had adventures through the galaxy.

SILVER: I have. And I've met lots of interesting people out there. I even picked up some advanced alien technology to improve my blade.

BLUE: That sounds very stimulating.

SILVER: Stimulating? (laughs) Blue, you haven't changed a bit.

BLUE: Food?

SILVER: I've grown into too many alien foods. And even before I went to space I never preferred earth food. Earth food is said to be weak and puny.

BLUE: Some of it is very satisfying.

SILVER: Give me what you like.

AXEM: Cook!

The cook comes in.

AXEM: We have a guest here. He would like a very strong coffee, along with ten chili peppers as hot as you can make them. I will have the same.

COOK: Another axem. Oh for the love of Eldstar. (she goes into the kitchen)

SILVER: So how are chili peppers? Are they strong?

BLUE: They are some of the strongest earth foods around. But they are weak compared

to the food that we were served at the factory. On earth, chili is as close as we will get.

SILVER: Throughout my journeys, I have been in more combat then I can count. I have conquered many strong opponents.

BLUE: As have I. I have slayed much evil here on this world. They no longer live to see another day.

SILVER: But since we can't return to Exor's vortex, this is as close to home as I can get. I may even hope you consider letting me stay here permanently.

BLUE: I would be honored to have another axem living under this roof.

SILVER: Excellent. I shant be that hard to live with.

The cook brings in their breakfast. Silver tosses a chili pepper into his mouth.

SILVER: Pitiful. It has no taste.

BLUE: You get used to it. It's as strong and hot as you can hope for. SILVER: Not anymore. One of the things I picked up on my blade is a food replicator. Just tell it what you want, and it will simply create it in seconds.

BLUE: Really. Interesting. Even some squill?

SILVER: Ahh, your favorite I know. Yes.

BLUE: Show me this replicator.

They climb into the silver blade. Silver leads Blue to a room with a computer box in the wall.

SILVER: Squill.

A bowl automatically appeared in front of them. It was filled with live eels with red and black stripes. BLUE: Ahh, squill.

He picks one of the squill up and tosses it in his mouth. He crunches it and swallows.

BLUE: I haven't tasted anything this good in ages!

SILVER: I will put a replicator in your own blade if you would like me too.

BLUE: Oh do, do.

They climb into the blue blade. Silver installs a replicator in one of the rooms.

BLUE: Chaloop! Chaloop!

A cup filled with a boiling blue liquid appears in front of him. He swallows and burps really loud.

SILVER: You're excused.

BLUE: This is amazing technology!

SILVER: It is. And replicators are not all I have. Tell me, how fast does this old bucket move?

BLUE: It travels at warp speed.

SILVER: My blade can travel at warp six.

BLUE: Incredible. You can go far into the depths of space with that speed.

SILVER: I will install the warp six drive into your warp system. After all, what are axems for?

Silver opens up the warp drive and upgrades it to warp six.

SILVER: Now our blades can fly side by side through space. Unless you're scared to do that. Like I think you are.

BLUE: What does that mean?!

SILVER: Come on. This comfort. The luxury you get in this world. How do I know it hasn't made you weak? How do I know it hasn't made you a sentimental fool?

Blue roars and raises his axe, Blue's and Silver's axes clash against each others.

BLUE: I am an axem! If you need proof of that I will not hesitate to give it!

SILVER: (smiles) That is the response of an axem! You are still one of us! We are warriors!

BLUE: Yes!

SILVER: We are two axem warriors!

BLUE: That we are!

They both grab each others hands that aren't holding an axe and squeeze very hard. Hard enough that it gives powerful pain. The pain shows that the two are warriors. (It's an axem custom)

SILVER: We are almost like brothers, you and I.

BLUE: I wouldn't go that far.

SILVER: (laughs) You're alright Blue.

DINNER TIME-

When the cook found out she had someone else to cook for she wasn't happy. But she served dinner anyway.

COOK: Eat it and choke.

SILVER: Blue, was she joking?

BLUE: Yes. If she wanted to assassinate us, she would have tried a long time ago. SILVER: This human stuff is all so confusing.

BLUE: I have lived on earth for many years now and I still do not understand their humor.

SILVER: That's not saying anything. Of all the time I knew you, you would never recognize a joke if it danced in front of you.

BLUE: And you, of all the time I knew you, you angered easily. I see you have managed to control your temper over the years.

SILVER: Yes. Anger only clouds your judgement and makes you lose control of your ability to think clearly. I am able to control my temper much better now.

After dinner was over, Blue showed Silver his room in the basement.

SILVER: My, my, I think I'll like it here.

BLUE: You see that gargoyle in the wall. Never press into that. It opens a doorway that leads to your doom.

SILVER: Alright, thanks for the warning.

BLUE: Anything else you want?

SILVER: I'm fine. Blue, would you like to explore the galaxy some time.

BLUE: Perhaps later.

SILVER: The galaxy is a big place.

Blue leaves.

SILVER: And the galaxy will be mine.

Silver opens his bag and takes out an ultra stone. Yes, it was Axem Silver that stole the stone from Mario's house.

SILVER: (thinking) Don't take too long to decide Blue. Because earth won't be around much longer. And if you don't leave soon, you'll go down with it.
