Mario Kart: Crisis
ATENNTION!
Now that I have it, you all need to know….
Disclaimer: I do not own anything Mario, except my own made up characters. So ha.
Summary: This is much about the tracks in any Mario Kart Game, including the one for the DS, and the other systems. All Yoshi text is very formal with no apostrophes. It's more how the tracks effected people's lives, starting with a young child by the name of Shiran…
Begin now
Chapter 1: Delfino Deaths
"Now…Now Shiran!" the girl's mother coughed, "You be careful on those…" she hacked, "those roads."
"I will, Mother!" the twelve year old daughter replied, getting some strands of brown hair out of her face. She hated Mario Kart, even though many people loved it. Yes, the people got free food, but deaths were…common. However, the organization of Mario Kart was very rich, so a few killings were easily concealed.
Shiran ran up to the shop. She had to go straight a ways, cross a bridge, and then had to go to the second house to the right…
Mean while at that very moment…
"We're doing great!" Peach screamed as she whizzed past Mario, "The bridge is going up! I love that! Yoshi said nothing and swerved around Mario, gaining a temporary second place.
"Isn't that a girl?" Daisy screamed, pulling up in fourth.
"Probably not." Mario replied, (A/N: I am not using the accent. Sue me.) "It's probably a sign."
The four sped up to the rising bridge, and Shiran was trying to get across before the gap was too big. She tripped and Peach swerved around the girl, not even caring who it was. She was obviously too caught up in the race.
"Piss off, bi--" Shiran was cut off by Mario almost running her over. Shiran evaded, but she lost balance, and began her speedy descent to the ocean. Yoshi purposely pounded the brake with both feet. The pedal went through the car, and Yoshi was now also falling. With his incredibly long tongue, he flipped Shiran on his kart. As the two were about to hit the ocean, a strange thing on a smiling cloud, a Lakitu came to the rescue. Yoshi was now in sixth place. He seemed to not care at all. Luckily, the schools in Mushroom Kingdom taught Yoshi, and Shiran was quite skilled with it (when she went, as schools were not enforced. A/N: So the Yoshi, text is translated."
"Are you all right?" the green creature asked.
"Yes." Shiran flipped her tongue as she tried to speak the language, "I am sorry. I am not skilled with this. I am sorry for disturbing you." Shiran sounded much like a robot as she spoke.
"Nonsense!" Yoshi hit the gas pedal, "Do you need to go somewhere? All you all right?" Yoshi was so concerned he didn't realize he already asked one of the questions.
"Yes and yes." Shiran replied, "I work just a bit north-right from here."
"Then I shall take you there. Also, you looked shocked."
"I have been trying to get using to it but the f--" she was cut off by a shell passing her by, "--ing Karts keep getting in my way."
"You have quite a tongue on you. And…oh, here is your stop. I shall just pull over…"
"No, that is okay, I will jump." Shiran replied. And so, she leapt off the kart and landed neatly. Shiran was quite the kid; being intelligent, having a job, and knowing an advanced karate style, Grace of the Feet." The girl ran into the store, now late. Her boss then repeated this part in the story, "You're late, Shiran."
"I'm sorry…" Shiran stuttered, "Muston, I--"
Cut off yet again, her boss then yelled, "That's the third time this week! You really need to get on the ball!"
"I--"
"No I's or shit, Shiran! You're a good kid! You can do this!"
"OH WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE F--" this part of the sentence was censored by a kart revving by, "--CK-K…Sorry. BUT LISTEN! I--"
"You're fired!' Muston yelled, "Get the hell out of here!"
"But--"
"Now!"
"I-"
"NOW!"
"I WAS ALMOST HIT, YOU ASS! FREAKIN' SHROOMS! WHAT THE HELL!" Shiran broke out in tears. Muston, as to be expected, felt horrible.
"I'm sorry, little Shiran. You're rehired. Go home for today."
"What?"
"I know you're not lying. I'll pay you in advance. Help your mother. Here's some of the medicine she needs, on the house. Please, do not tell anyone."
"Thanks!" Shiran burst off, looking at the medicine. Her mother was very sick, and had been for five months, so having no other family, Shiran was the housekeeper, barely getting by. The small girl knew the race was over; the engines were down to a low grunt, and the people were cheering for Yoshi.
"At lest he was one of the good ones." Shiran mumbled to herself, "I still hate Mario Kart!" She ripped down a banner advertising the very thing.
She had a great reason to. A person in an airplane with a spiky back ran over her friend. Browser, or something of the like. But little Shiran tried to forget that. She ran off to her mother…
A/N: Written as a one-shot? Probably not. You could view it like that, though. But, I am trying to make it more of a series.
Special thanks to the people who designed the Delfino Track on the DS for giving me this idea. P
