Between Dreams and Nightmares: The Toadror Wicked Chronicles

Summary

Mario has the mission of guarding the immense, magical database of the Mushroom Kingdom telling every story that ever happened. However, Bowser learns of this and decides to creep in to revive some enemies and use them under his control so he can finally win over Mario! An honor to the Mariowiki.

I don`t own any characters, the ones I created are mine however – personally, I think Shigeru Miyamoto should often pick in the fans` own characters sometimes, it may be brilliant sometimes. But hey, that ain`t gonna happen to me anyway.

Chapter 1: The Archives of Doom

"You asked me to your castle, Princess. May I know why?" Mario said, bending in front of Peach.

"I asked you because I have an extremely important mission to give you. But first, I need to explain a few things. Come with me."

Mario and the Princess left the castle and headed toward a gigantic Toad House. Princess Peach opened the door, and inside Mario got the biggest surprise. There were thousands, should I say millions, of document holders all classified under certain categories, certain details, certain characters, certain species, and certain places.

"You see, Mario, this is a gigantic database filled up with over a billion documents. Each of these documents reveals a tiny piece of history. I think the biggest document is about you. There is also one about your brother Luigi. There is one about Bowser. Everyone here has its own document. But before you start asking questions, I`ll tell you the history of this database. But promise me you`ll tell nobody."

"I promise. Now I`m all ears, Princess."

"It`s been a very long time ago. There was a magician named Toadror. He was extremely powerful and had many powers that would easily win over you, despite everything you`d try."

"Okay, for now I understand, Princess. Continue."

"It also turns out that this Toadror was some kind of scientist. He had the biggest mission I had ever assigned to anyone. He had to make archives about every enemy, every place, everything. It was some years after your arrival in the Kingdom. He had already stored all data about a thousand things. Then, Bowser arrived and turned him into a block as he had done with every other Toad before kidnapping me. You remember very well your first adventure, eh?"

"Actually, we also had adventures as babies, that`s where we first met Bowser as a baby at that time, but that`s not the point. Please move on."

"Actually, when you undid the spell, not only Bowser lost most of his magical powers when he fell in lava, but all blocks turned back into Toads as well. However, when Toadror came back in his Database, he saw that everything had been messed up due to the attack and the thousands of enemies who were roaming the Kingdom. Toadror entered in a terrible anger, and decided to use his powers to help him in this quest. However, he was using dark magic…"

"Uh oh…" Mario said.

"He unleashed a terrible stream of purple lights, which went around the entire kingdom and in the past and the future, all of which would have helped him complete his task. Using this dark magic, he collected data from the very first Goomba you have stomped in your life to the last time you`ve beaten Bowser, passing though Parakarry and even finding out about Mrs. Mows, also finding history about the Underwhere and our own Toad Town. It has also discovered everything about the Super Leaf up to every Star Piece. It had discovered everything about the hundreds of species living in this Kingdom."

"Wow… that`s amazing. This Toad has achieved what could have taken a thousand years of work in a few minutes!"

"You understood now, Mario. However, he created these Archives with dark magic. And this resulted in dangerous chronicles. Because if anyone was to read any document from these, the monster, object, or whatever it was, would be summoned right away. Imagine now if anyone was to read a document about a Goomba: no problem. But imagine now if anyone was to read the document about Wart: he would come back again. This is no big deal however. But now, imagine if any really, REALLY bad guy`s document would be read: it would be catastrophic. If you read about a place, you would teleport there."

"Wait a second, Princess: if more than one document is read, then it would be…"

"You understood. It would be a total apocalypse. Now, please, let`s head back to the castle. I assign you to guard these archives from anything that could try to enter – even yourself."

"Yes princess!" said Mario, doing the general salute.

As the two were about to get out of the gigantic Toad House, a Toad on the other side ran away. It had been listening this entire conversation, and now he had learned a lot of things. Strangely, this Toad didn`t look like the others. He had a black hat with red dots, and he had a devilish grin on his face as he was heading towards Bowser`s Castle.

"Okay, Junior, you can tell me everything now. What is the mission the Princess has given to Mario?"

Junior had now different attire than the normal Toad clothes: he had darker brown shoes; he was also wearing shorts like the others though they were red, he was also wearing the shirt all Toads wore, however it was black instead of blue and golden instead of yellow. He also has a cape knotted around his neck, the cape was of a dark purple and was long enough to touch the ground.

Junior then told the entire story to Bowser. "The Great Toadror has created archives in which he collected data about everything that exists or has existed in the Kingdom, however he made these chronicles with dark magic and thus, whenever one document is read the subject of the document will come to life or appear. In other words, you can summon the most dangerous creatures and Mario will be unable to fight back this time!"

"Good job, Junior. Do you think you could spy again to see what Mario will do in case of an attack?"

"I promise to do anything you`ll ask, master Bowser. I promise to spy on Mario, to spy on any of his friends, to spy on everything that might help him! I am entirely devoted to you. I promise, or else my name isn`t Toadror Junior!"

In next episode: Mario asks Luigi for help, but Luigi instead suggests Mario something nonsensical. During this time, Junior spies on them and Bowser prepares the greatest plan he`s ever had.
