Paper Mario
By Sonic 2
A/N: Wow I'm updating this fanfic pretty quickly. Oh and if your wondering about Prologue continued, see below. I'm writing this like how it is in Paper Mario with how it has the different chapters. So on with the story.
Prologue continued
In a small circular field Mario's stiff body lay unmoving in the grass. It was the afternoon when suddenly the Seven Star Spirits, in hologram form, appeared.
"Is he alive?" asked one with a small pink bow atop her head.
An older star with a white mustache floated down to Mario's body.
"Yes, but barely…' said the old star.
"Thank the stars." said a pink star with a heart shaped cloth around her head.
"Technically we are the stars." said another Star Spirit; this one was carrying a book.
"Man he took a bad beating." said a blue star, with an artist hat.
"He looks like me." said one with a black mustache.
"Everyone stop your talking." said another one with a purplish tint and a brown mustache.
"Yes your right. Now everybody get into position, we must give Mario all our power!" said the old star.
The seven Star Spirits then spun around in the air above Mario and shot out little white puffs of their energy at him. After they finished the old star spoke.
"Okay that should do it. Let's go."
The seven Star Spirits then disappeared and it was as they were never there. A small Goomba girl happened to see Mario just at that moment.
"Wow it's the Mario! Wait till Goombario hears I met the Mario." said the small Goomba girl.
As she approached she saw he was knocked out.
"Whoa, I'd better get Goompapa and Goompa." she said as she walked off.
Mario's unconscious body was lying in the Toad House bed when the old Star Spirit reappeared in hologram form.
"Mario…. I don't know if you can here me, but I need your help, the whole world needs your help. Please meet me at Shooting Star Summit. I'll explain there." Then the old star disappeared.
Mario awoke with a startle and jumped out of bed. Just then the owner of the Toad House, who was a regular Toad with red spots, entered his house.
"Oh Mario thank the stars you woke up! After Goombaria saw you in the field she got the rest of her family and brought you here. They were all very worried for you." said the Toad.
"Well I'm fine. But where am I. And who's this family that found me?" asked Mario.
"Oh you're in Goomba Village. The Goomba family that lives here found you." explained the Toad. "You should go talk to them. I'm sure they'll be relieved to see your okay."
"Okay, thanks." said Mario.
He walked out of the small Toad House and took the outside surroundings in. The Village was really just a small area with one house, not including the Toad House, and a front and back gate. Mario looked down to see a small Goomba girl looking at him excitedly. He guessed this was Goombaria.
"Hi!" said Mario.
"Wow Mario your okay. When I found you, you looked pretty bad." said the Goomba girl. "My names Goombaria! That's my brother over there."
She pointed to a small Goomba male that was wearing a blue hat.
"He's a big fan of yours." explained Goombaria.
"Well it's nice to meet you." said Mario.
Just then another Goomba girl, this one was much older, walked over. She was wearing a pink towel on her head.
"Hey everyone Mario's alright!" she yelled.
"This is my mom, Goomama" said Goombaria.
"How do you do." said Goomama.
"Nice to meet you." said Mario.
"Whoa Mario's in my village." said Goombario who had walked over.
After everyone had gotten acquainted with Mario, he told them that he had to leave right away to save the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. He walked over to the gate that served as an exit to the village when Kammy Koopa, out of nowhere appeared.
"Neyh heh heh heh!" laughed the witch. "Sorry Mario but I can't let you leave this village, master Bowser's orders. Though it wouldn't even matter if you did since he's invincible now!"
"Mario who's this old hag?" asked Goombaria, who was standing near by.
"Old hag?" questioned the witch. "I am like a beautiful princess, but without the ditzy part."
"All I see is an ugly thing that flies." said Goompapa.
"What, you insolent Goombas take this!" yelled the witch, as she created a yellow block and made it smash down on the front gate. "Neyh heh heh heh!"
Kammy Koopa then floated away on her broom and Mario was stuck inside the village.
"Why Kammy Koopa that fiend!" yelled Goompapa. "I just finished fixing that fence!"
"Dad doesn't Goompa have a huge hammer that could brake this block?" asked Goombario.
"Why yes son he does." said Goompapa. "Mario why don't you go ask Goompa if you can borrow his hammer. I think he's working on the veranda in the back of the house."
"Okay." said Mario.
Mario walked over to the front door leading into the small Goomba family's house. When he opened it he saw Gooma knitting a wool sock.
"Oh Mario, that was your name right?" asked the old Goomba. "Can I help you with anything?"
"Oh, I was just looking for Goompa." said Mario.
"He's out back fixing the veranda." said Gooma. "Just go through that door."
The door she was pointing to was of course as Goompapa had said in the back of the house. Mario walked over and opened it. Suddenly as he stepped out he started falling. When he landed he turned around and saw what had happened.
"Man, first Peach's castle is lifted into space and now I'm falling from a house into a field." said Mario.
He looked around for Goompa and spotted him not to far off. It looked like he was looking for something. Mario approached him slowly and when he spoke he made sure that the old Goomba was aware of his presence so he wouldn't give him a heart attack.
"Are you okay?" asked Mario.
"Oh you young whipper snapper, I survived more than a small fall back in the days." said Goompa. "But I could use some help finding my hammer."
"Oh is this it?" asked Mario as he leaned over right in front of the Goomba and picked it up off the ground.
"Why yes." said Goompa. "Thank you for finding it. You can keep it if you'd like. I don't plan on fixing anything anytime soon after that."
"Thanks!" said Mario.
"Now let's get back to the village." said Goompa.
Mario just went along with him as the old timer started walking down a path. He figured he had to go through the village anyway. Not to mention he wouldn't feel right about leaving the old Goomba by himself.
After a while they reached the small village and Goompa opened the gate and walked through it, quickly Mario followed.
The old Goomba's two grandchildren ran over.
"Goompa where have you been we were really worried about." said Goombario.
"I thought I might never see you again." said Goombaria.
"Oh kids I'm sorry I worried you. Mario was nice young fellow and helped me get back here." said Goompa. "Now if you'll excuse me I have to go seal off the door leading to the veranda."
The old Goomba then walked off into his house and Goombaria started crying.
"What the matter with her?" Mario asked Goombario.
"She's just upset 'cause this bully Jr. Troopa stole her doll." said Goombario. "Hey Mario, do you think you could get it back for her?"
"Sure, where does that guy live though?" asked Mario.
"Uh, he's behind you." said Goombario.
Mario was suddenly sent flying into a nearby tree and Jr. Troopa, who was a small newly hatched Koopa with his eggshell still on him, ran over to bully the two kids again.
"What's the matter little girl? You crying 'cause you lost your little toy?" asked the Koopa mockingly.
"I'm not gonna take anymore of this Jr.!" yelled Goombario. "Mario can you help me take, huh Mario where are you?"
Mario had just pulled himself out of the tree and ran over.
"Sure!" yelled the plumber, apparently he was ticked off.
Before they could say another word Jr. Troopa had lunged at them. Mario and Goombario both stepped to the side just in time to avoid him. Then they both jumped on him at the same time. This was all the little Koopa could take.
"Fine you win, take your stupid doll!" yelled Jr. Troopa, as he threw the doll at Goombaria. "I'll get you for this Mario!"
He then ran from the direction he came, through the back fence and into the fields.
"Wahoo!" yelled Goombario. "We did it Mario!"
"Thank you!" said Goombaria happily.
"Sure thing!" said Mario.
"Hey Mario do you think I could join you on your adventure?" asked Goombario.
"Yeah, I could use a partner like you! But only if it's okay with your family." said Mario.
Overhearing the conversation, Goomama suddenly screamed.
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
Hearing her scream Goompa who had overheard as well came out of the house.
"Now, now dear the boys practically an adult and he could use some adventure!" said Goompa.
After a heated debate Goomama finally let Goombario go with Mario. So they promptly set off on the road leading to Toad Town, after of course breaking the yellow block on the front gate. After a short whiles walk they came upon a large castle.
"Hey what's with the castle? This place never had a castle just a bridge so you could walk across the gaping ditch over there."
Suddenly a huge Goomba wearing red and white striped pants, jumped up out of the castle and in front of it. Behind him were two Goombas, one was red and the other blue, they appeared to be brothers. The huge Goomba started talking.
"Hello Mario, I'm sorry but I can't let you through here, Bowser's orders. My name is the Goomba king."
"Boy does this sound familiar." said Goombario.
"You can say that again." said Mario.
"Quit your yappin' and leave here or deal with the consequences." said the red Goomba.
"Yeah, yeah," agreed the blue Goomba.
"Sorry but I'm not leaving I'm gonna go through here wither you like it or not!" challenged Mario.
"So that's how it's gonna be huh. Come on red, blue lets get him!" yelled the Goomba king.
They then proceeded to charge Mario and Goombario. Mario quickly side stepped, but Goombario got ran over by them. To the side of them Mario had found a fire flower and had quickly planted it. The fire from it took out the red and blue Goombas but King Goomba still was standing. He turned to face Mario and with this time Goombario had recovered and jumped on the Goomba King. Apparently the blow had made him lose his footing and he stumbled backwards through his castle, destroying it and falling into the ditch behind it. The red and blue Goombas watched this in horror.
"We give up!" yelled the red one.
"Yeah, yeah." said the blue one "Just hit the switch in the bush and the bridge will come back!"
They then ran away and Mario proceeded to do what they had said.
In Bowser's castle or Peach's castle out in space, the evil king of Koopas was being told the news about the Goomba king. Kammy Koopa chose her words carefully so that she wouldn't set him off on one of his foot pounding temper tantrums.
"You see your highness, Mario has left Goomba Village somehow and um, defeated the Goomba king…." said the witch.
"WHAAAAT! He asks me to grant his and make him big and all I ask in return is that he beats Mario!" roared Bowser in rage. "What if Mario does save all the Star Spirits He can't possibly beat me….right?"
"Don't worry, the Goomba king wasn't the brightest blub so I prepared for this." explained Kammy Koopa. "I got the Koopa Bros to help us out. Red, Green, Yellow, Black, come in!"
The four Koopa Bros that Kammy called for had entered the small room that Bowser and Kammy were in. The room was a den with black and white tiled flooring and a small desk with a few books lined in behind. Other than that there was only a slightly lifted platform with some pictures on it.
"Now boys show his highness that special move you do so well." said Kammy Koopa.
"Yeah okay everybody ready?" asked Red.
Suddenly Bowser and Kammy were blinded by a white light.
"WHOAAAAAA!" yelled Bowser.
