My new story, It's going to include characters from Paper Mario:TTYD and my own characters, maybe characters from the first Paper Mario and this will be in script form because it has more dialogue than my previous story.

Disclaimers: I Don't own the Paper Mario characters, they belong to Nintendo and Intelligent Systems.

A Rough Start

?: What's that? You want me to go to you lab, again? Why does it always be in your lab? I think you just want me to go into different dimensions. Okay I'll be over there.

A few moments later.

?: Okay I'm here, it better be good this time, Ice.

Ice: It will, Scratch, I think you'll like this world. Have you ever heard of Super Mario?

Scratch: Um, of course I do, I play his games all the time, why do you ask?

Ice: Because I have hooked us up to his world, you'll be going because you can survive more hits than me, those thwomps in that world will kill me for sure.

Scratch: Okay, I can't wait to go, I get to meet the great Mario and get to defeat Bowser and have some hero cake alongside Mario.

Ice: Well, I don't know about that, but I heard that he's in trouble right now.

Scratch: What, he is? Well, send me off right now!

Ice: Alright, here it goes.

The dimension machine warms up and generates a big portal that sucked in Scratch. Scratch feels like he was changing when in the portal, he feels a lot more thin and paper-like. He gets spat out of the portal and was in front of the Mushroom Kingdom's castle surrounded by Toads and stuff. It was Mario's world all right.

Scratch: Wow, I will never thought of being so close to Mario's world than this, this gotta be a dream come true!

The ground surrounding the castle was shaking rapidly and was suspending off the ground.

Scratch: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Scratch's balance was off by the castle rising up to the sky, when he finally got his balance back he saw the brawl going on between Mario and Bowser, sure enough, Mario was losing! Bowser was glowing with strange power as Mario was really weak from fighting too much.

Bowser: Gar! har! har! Foolish Mario! You really think you can stop the new and powerful me? I got the Star Rod again, but combine with the Royal Crown Sticker, I'm invincible!

Bowser shot a strange spell that trapped Mario in a magical cage that was too powerful to escape, Mario tried to kick it but the shock of the kick shot back at him.

Random Toad: Oh no! Mario! Can anyone stop Bowser, now?

Scratch: Yeah, I can!

Scratch leaps from the Toad crowd and in front of Bowser, surprising everyone there.

Bowser: What's this? A brave little cat thinks he can overpower me! Gwar! Har! Har! Now run along to your owner before I have to put you down!

Scratch: No! First off, I am not a pet! And second off, your going down!

Scratch jumps on Bowser and the battle starts.

Boss: Bowser

Attack: Unknown

Defense: Unknown

HP: Infinite

Scratch: Oh no, this isn't good.

Bowser: Har! Har Har! See, what you but yourself through? Now I'm going to be generous enough and let you have the first move, choose wisely though, har har!

Scratch uses a jump attack on Bowser, does 0 damage, the impact of the jump shakes Scratch and does 1 hp back at him.

Bowser: Har har! See what you did? I didn't feel a thing! Now it's my turn!

Bowser uses a body slam, does mortal damage to Scratch, leaving him with 2 hp left.

Scratch: Oh no! How... pant... is this... pant... possible?

Scratch pulls out his metallic baseball bat and swings at Bowser, does 0 damage to but the baseball bat hit Scratch back for 1 hp!

Bowser: Har har! Say good night!, Kitty!

Bowser uses flame breath on Scratch, does WHO CARES, IT DEFEATS HIM ANYWAY! The baseball bat melts and Scratch is on the floor, burnt.

Bowser wins! Battle Over!

Princess Peach: Oh no! Get up, brave little hero!

Bowser: Too late, Princess! I killed him already, now to send him to his grave!

Bowser shoots a magic spell at Scratch, he gets send skyward and he plummets to the ground to a location on the planet, floating like a piece of paper.

Bowser: Oh shoot! I forgot we are made of paper, let me fix that...

Bowser shoots another spell at the floating Scratch and it makes him fall rapidly like a meteor towards Earth.

Bowser: There, that's better!

Princess Peach was closing her eyes with her hands, crying at the sight of that. Mario was enraged at this and pulls out his wooden hammer and proceed to throw it towards Bowser, it went through the cage, surprisingly but it missed Bowser and was plummeting at the planet just like Scratch was.

Bowser: Har har! You missed! Fool!

Mario was grabbing on the cage bars, having an angry look at his face.

Scratch was on the ground and was unconscious, and out of nowhere a strange mushroom girl was staring at the cat and was looking around him and proceed to drag him away by pushing him. A while later, Scratch woke up and was in a bed, he looked around and saw a bunch of beds near him and then saw the mushroom girl standing near him, smiling.

?: Glad to see you awake!

Scratch: Awake? How long was I out?

?: A few days, actually.

Scratch: A few days!? It seemed like a few hours, though.

?: I never thought you would wake up.

Scratch: Never mind that, but where am I? How did I get here?

?: Your in the Rogueport inn, I dragged you here, you were a lot heavier than you look.

Scratch: Thanks, I guess. (tries to get up) *groans* My head!

?: You shouldn't try to get up, you were in pretty bad shape when I saw you.

Scratch: Bad shape? What happened to me?

?: How should I know? You are the one who got hurt.

Scratch: Well, last thing I remember is I was being shot at by a strange green monster.

?: Aaaaanyway... What's your name?

Scratch: My name?

?: Yeah, your name.

Scratch I... urg! Can't remember!

?: You can't remember your own name!?

Scratch: Yeah, I got shot at, so I may have had amnesia or something.

?: That might be true. Anyway, my name's Goombella, nice to meet you.

Scratch: Nice to meet you, too.

Goombella: Oh, before I forget, I found this wooden hammer next to you. (drags out hammer and gives it to Scratch)

Scratch: Hey, it has something engraved on it. (reads lettering) "Mario"?

Goombella: OH MY GOSH! You have Mario's hammer! That must mean you know him!

Scratch: Yeah I have known him, but I wouldn't know because of right now, I can't remember a darn thing!

Goombella: I might have something that can help you. (pulls out a book)

Scratch: What's that?

Goombella: It's a tattle book, with this, I can search out different species of things and found out more about them.

Scratch: Oh, well, I think it's a little weird searching in a book that might have me in it.

Goombella: Well, for right now, I can't seem to find you in this book.

Scratch: What? Really?

Goombella: Yes, that may mean you aren't from this world.

Scratch: Well, so much for that, anyway, who is this Mario you speak of?

Goombella: Mario is the greatest, he saved me from a bunch of X-Nauts and I followed him to the ends of the earth to stop their evil plan.

Scratch: Looks like you have had quite an adventure.

Goombella: You could say that *giggles*

Scratch: What does that mean?

Goombella: Oh, nothing.

?: Oh thank heavens to see you awake! Me and the Toads have been worried sick.

Goombella: Toadsworth, what are you doing here?

Toadsworth: We saw this brave hero tried to defeat the great and awful Bowser, but he didn't stand a chance.

Scratch and Goombella: What?!

Toadsworth: Yeah, you must have known you tried to take him on. You gave a worthy effort.

Scratch: I did? I don't remember anything right now.

Toadsworth: Oh, that nasty fall must of made you lost your memory.

Scratch: Well at least I know what caused it, but I still don't know who I am!

Toadsworth: Maybe if you looked at the tag of you coat, you might see your name on it.

Scratch: Oh what? (looks at his hoodie) *facepalm* I could of just checked my hoodie the whole time. Could you check it for me, Toadsworth?

Toadsworth: Oh, I would be delighted. (reads writing) "Scratch", that's what's written on it.

Scratch: Scratch, huh? Well, I guess that's a good name.

Goombella: So you actually tried to take on Bowser?

Scratch: I must of did, if what Toadsworth says is true.

Toadsworth: Let me help you remember. (Smacks Scratch in the head with his cane)

Scratch: Ow! What was that for?

Toadsworth: It doesn't matter, it's in the past.

Scratch: What?

Toadsworth: Never mind, now do you remember anything?

Scratch: Now that you mention it, I do remember something.

All the images of the fight came rushing back at Scratch and he saw a brief image of Mario in a magic cage and everything else was dark.

Scratch: Yes, I did fight Bowser, and I also see a man in a magic cell, wearing overalls and a red cap with a "M" emblem on it.

Goombella: *Gasp* That's Mario! He did something bad to Mario, this makes it personal! He is going down!

Scratch: Whoa! Calm down, Goombella, I also need to get back at Bowser, but that doesn't mean you can be overly enraged about this.

Goombella: Yes it does, now are you with me or do I have face him myself?

Scratch: Uh... I guess so.

Toadsworth: Good, it's settled, you two can stop the wrong doings of Bowser and save the kingdom.

Goombella: Yeah! Let's go! (Runs outside)

Scratch: Wait a minute! I'm still hurt here! Oh, what's with that... err, whatever she is.

Toadsworth: I honestly don't know.

Scratch: Maybe Mario can recover this quickly. (Gets out of bed and walks out of the door)

Goombella: What took you so long? We got a Bowser to whup!

Scratch: I, err...

Toadsworth: Master Scratch! You left this hammer behind, I think you should take it with you.

Scratch: What? Do I have to?

Goombella: Come on, Scratch! This is the only way we can stand a chance between Bowser! And I think that Mario wants you to have it to help you.

Scratch: Well, if you put it that way... (takes the hammer and puts into his hoodie pocket)

Scratch: Hey! I can put this hammer into my pocket nicely.

Toadsworth: Yes. Master Mario can do that with all his things as well.

Scratch: Well, I better be going, then. (looks around) Hey! Where did Goombella go?

Toadsworth: Strange, I surely saw her not too long ago. (Sees Goombella gets rolled around) There she is!

Scratch: Whoa! Are you okay?

Goombella: Okay? Do I look okay? That creep stole my amulet!

Scratch: What creep? (confused)

Goombella: That creep over there! (faces towards a hoodlum-looking guy)

Scratch: (see thief) Oh...

Goombella: Well, don't just stand there, do something! (jumping up and down frantically)

Scratch: Oh, I don't know... I'm still recovering.

Goombella: Pleeeeeaaaasssse? (gives Scratch the glittery eye look)

Scratch: Oh, okay... (walks towards thief)

Goombella: Yay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! (jumping up and down)

Scratch: Hey! I don't know what you want with that, but you better give it back to my friend, Goombella if you don't know what's good for you!

Thief: Huh? Oh, well I give it back to her...

Scratch: You will? (Thoughts: That was easier than I thought!)

Thief: Yeah... If she goes out with me! (smiles creepily)

Goombella: Ugh! Absolutely no way!

Thief: Oh, but would you go out with that cat who's standing up for you? (pointing to Scratch)

Goombella: (blushes) What?! Don't be ridiculous! I just met him! I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but I at least needs to know more about him. He doesn't even know himself!

Scratch: ... (Thoughts: Oh, what did I get myself into?)

Thief: But your blushing...

Goombella: Shut up! Scratch! After this creep!

Scratch: I don't really know.

Goombella: Well, do you think you can hold this amulet for me?

Scratch: Um, sure.

Goombella: Yay! Thank you! (gives amulet to Scratch and kisses him)

Scratch: (tail frizzes up and then his entire fur does as well) Whoa! What was that?

Goombella: Well, that was a kiss, silly. (smiles)

Scratch: No, I mean, it seemed to recover my HP because I feel more energized than before.

Goombella: Really? You sure are strange, you know that? (smiles)
