Melancholic Star Deadman: Yo yo yo! Do the Mario! (laughs while crickets make their sound) Aww, screw you, then! This first chapter intro's the femme fatales of the story. If you don't know what femme fatales means, then look it up cuz' I ain't tellin' ya, so there! But my Yoshi-loving gal pal for the fic can tell you. If she wants. Also, thanks to those who have noticed my grammar tense error. I'll make sure not to repeat the same mistake again.

Starrgrl24: Hi guys! Well, I have disappeared from for more than a month, but I'm back in the writing mood! =D My life is still busy as ever, but I don't want to disappoint my fans! I hope you guys enjoy the story.

Super Mario Legends: Swords of an Angel

Chapter 1

The Lumas were chasing each other around the comet observatory. They were constantly giggling as they accidentally bumped into each other. The Lumas flew to the top of the observatory and spotted Rosalina entering the library.

"There's mama!" shouted a Luma.

The Lumas flew into the library and spotted Rosalina sitting on a rocking chair. The fire dimly lit the room as the embers crackled under the chimney. Rosalina looked at the fire and began to rock the chair.

"Hello Lumas," greeted Rosalina.

"What's the matter mamma?" asked a pink Luma.

"Oh there is nothing wrong with me. I simply wanted to relax in this room. Things have been a lot quiet ever since Mario defeated Bowser. I wonder if he is ever going to come back."

"He is always busy fighting Bowser," said a yellow Luma.

"Yes, I remember when Mario first arrived. He was attack by Bowser's minion when he chased after Princess Peach. He was such a brave person, constantly trying to battle and rescue the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Mario is a brave man," echoed a blue Luma.

Rosalina nodded her head. She gazed at the fire, allowing it's warmth to spread across her face. The Lumas stood and watched her.

"Would you like to go star gazing?" asked Rosalina all of a sudden.

All of the Lumas perked up and squealed in happiness. They circled around Rosalina. Their 'mamma' giggled. She got up from her seat and walked out of the library. The Lumas followed behind her.

Rosalina stopped in front of the large screen which projected an image of the entire observatory. She walked toward the edge and sat down. The Lumas gathered around Rosalina and looked at the stars. Rosalina gazed at the stars and smiled. She spotted a bright blue planet from a distance.

"That is Mario's home planet," pointed out Rosalina.

The Lumas inched closer to her and squinted their eyes to see the tiny blue planet Rosalina mentioned. Rosalina giggled.

"I see it!" shouted the yellow Luma.

All of the Lumas surrounded the yellow Luma and they all began to point and shout. They spotted the tiny blue planet.

"Mario..." murmured Rosalina.

"I think he is kicking Bowser's butt right now!" shouted the black Luma.

All of the Lumas giggled. Rosalina also joined in the laughter. She looked at the tiny blue planet and smiled.

"Well, well...look who we have here," said a strange voice from behind.

Rosalina and the Lumas quickly turned around and found Phantom Lady and four other women with her, but looking more evil as she is.

The first one looked like she was from the Beanbean Kingdom, but had a human-shaped body. Her skin was light-greenish, her purple hair was tied into two oval-shaped buns with golden hair rings wrapped around them. She is wearing a purple dress with a yellow line going across at the bottom that shaped her figure. Her D-cup breasts and curvaceous hips perfectly shaped the dress, making her irresistible, lusted towards, and ogled. Rosalina, however, saw she had an evil leer on her face, showing she wants nothing less than expected from her prize when she finished whatever it was she had to do. Those pink eyes of hers scared even the bravest of Lumas.

The second and third women were twins, based on their appearance. They both had crowns on their heads, wore nearly the same Princess Peach pink-style dresses, only it was a darker shade of pink, the neckwear were different with spiky endings, one of them donned a black brooch on the chest area, and the other had white gloves like the princess. Like the first woman, they both had killer bodies most men would die to ravish to no end. The second and third women had mushroom-like heads with white polka dots which made them appear as humanoid poison mushrooms, the worst kind of mushrooms ever to exist. Curvaceous hips and e-cup breasts can definitely make a woman self-cautious about herself because the twins had that.

The fourth woman can only be described as the literal translation of the Japanese phrase, Shin No Bi, which means 'Beauty in Death'. In fact, she gave off an aura that spelled death. Pink hair with a huge crown on her head, light pink lusicious lips, a sand hourglass figure-shape body with G-cup breasts, scarlet red eyes, and veil purple skin covered in a black dress fit for a villainess, she looks like she means nothing but business.

"W-w-who a-a-ar-r-r-e y-y-y-you a-a-an-n-nd-d what d-d-d-do you w-w-w-ant?" Rosalina fearfully asked the women. The Lumas were all behind her, shaking in fear.

"Hmm… who is it that we are searching for in this seemingly abandoned spaceship that supposedly has no one but a beautiful and powerful woman with a tragic past and her baby star children which will be useful in the near and far future? Oh yeah! You!" Phantom Lady responded.

"What do you want with Mama?!?" one of the lumas shouted.

"EYAH HAH HAH HAH HAH! What a stupid little star! Thinking it can stand up to us! You had better beat it before something TERRIBLE happens to you!" Cackletta said. Rosalina, eyes widened, paled in fear.

"No! Please, I beg of you! Don't hurt them! They're only children! My little children!" She desperately cried with tears in her eyes. The Lumas surround her for protection.

"Mama!" they all cried.

"Oh, my little babies! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry this had to happen!" Rosalina cried as she hugged them.

"(Aww, how sweet. Too bad we need the star, bitch! When are we gonna do THAT to her, sister?!)" Princess Shroob said in her language.

"SOON, MY LITTLE SISTER. VERY SOON." Her elder sister responded to her younger sister, whom both spoke the same language from their extinct alien race.

"Fufufufufufufufufufu… such impatience is unnecessary. So ladies, shall we claim this weak, little bitch for ourselves? Lest we take away a mother's most precious gift from God?" the Shadow Queen said.

Rosalina couldn't be any more afraid. The Shadow Queen's words made a snake's slithering nature invade her humble abode. It seemed she couldn't do anything, despite being a powerful star princess/goddess. But Mario, the one she gave her heart to, proved her wrong about that. He showed her that you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

"You can do what you want with me. Just leave my babies alone. That's all I ask of you." Rosalina told Phantom Lady, her mind dead set on her unwilling fate.

"Heh heh heh heh heh heh! Don't worry. We won't harm your children. As long as they don't do anything that might… cause an accident." She evilly said. One of the Lumas, however, decided to speak its mind.

"Why are you being mean to us?! What did we ever do to you?!? Mama was only taking care of us for as long as we can remember! You're lucky we can't do anything right now because we're tired from helping Mario defeat Bowser in the center of the universe to rescue Princess Peach (again!)!" it shouted.

The ladies except Phantom Lady were not amused when it mentioned that name. The temperature dropped to a deathly below zero degrees.

"What…"

"(Did…)"

"YOU…"

"SAY?!??!"

"You heard me!" the Luma shouted.

"I assume this Mario may become a potential threat to us?" Phantom Lady asked.

Cackletta took the first crack at the situation. "ARGH!! That man, along with that stupid brother of his, handed me my first humiliating defeat! At my home turf, no less! I was set to conquer my home, the Beanbean Kingdom, and make the villagers suffer under my rule. I had all the ingredients together, mixed it all in my pot, and created an evil dish of a lifetime! All I needed a maiden of a pure heart to sweeten my deadly concoction so that it will truly stand out! But, that bitch outsmarted me due to a tip caused by the prince of the kingdom and unwittingly sent that bastard to take me down! Even though I survived, that fight took a toll on me and I was forced to recover my wounds in the mountains of the border of the two kingdoms. Even after taking over Bowser's body, kidnapping the real Peach, and using his children and my faithful minion to kill him and his brother, I get outsmarted AGAIN and I'm the one who ends up dead!"

"YOU THINK YOU HAD IT ROUGH, CACKLETTA?! THOSE BASTARDS KILLED ME AND MY SISTER AND OUR ENTIRE RACE!!! MY SWEET LITTLE SISTER KIDNAPPED THAT ROYAL BITCH BECAUSE SHE SEALED ME INSIDE A POWERFUL BLUE STAR THAT SHE USED TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME AND SPLIT THE PIECES APART TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE KINGDOM. THEN, SHE SET OUT TO CONQUER THE ENTIRE KINGODOM! HOWEVER…"

"(That bastard chased me and my army through time towards the kingdom of the past! One by one, I watched him and his toddler self kill each and every one of my best soldiers and monsters, sparring no one. Who teaches their younger self to fight and kill mushroom-like aliens?! Huh?! Me and my sister were killed off by him of two different timelines! With us went the powerful Cobalt Star to hell, never to be used again…)"

"HA! You know little of his capabilities! At least I conquered a kingdom and sent my aura around the world until my soul was sealed within the Palace of Shadows under Rougeport. I sent my faithful minion Beldam to search for a way to resurrect my soul so I would resume where I left off. Even when she used an entire cult, unknown but powerful, others had other intentions of getting my powerful jewels, but one thing was sure; I was going to be revived to the modern world. The leader managed to go as far as kidnapping that bitch Peach to be my body host, but he never expect HIM to go after her, as he usually does. He managed to get my gems in the room where I was sealed in and released me from my prison. I took over her body and began unleashing hell on everyone and everything I could get my hands on. But that bastard used the gems' power against me and sent my soul down to hell! I almost went insane down there! How did he kill me? My gems gave him a portion of their power and he used it to kill me! Using my power against me just like his ancestors!"

Rosalina was shocked but felt a little bit of pride for Mario of defeating these evil women. At least she knew Mario's victories and triumphs weren't just limited to just Bowser. He had to at least whoop somebody else's ass once in a while. (MSD: you know this to be true! Fighting Bowser for more than a decade can tax a gamer's mindset!)

Phantom Lady was impressed.

"It seems you all had difficulty in handling him. In any case, I have a plan to deal with him. I made sure to take extra precautions when the time comes to deal with him. But first…"

Phantom Lady grabbed Rosalina by the throat. The Lumas attempt to rescue their mama, but are stopped by two dark lightning bolts from the Shadow Queen and Cackletta that nearly struck the baby stars. The Lumas were now terrified. How in the blue cosmos are they going to beat these dangerous women?!

"Ah ah ah. Your 'mama' is an important aspect to my master plan and you babies want to rescue her. Can't have that now, can we?" Phantom Lady said.

"No…" one Luma said. They watched in horror as the women took away Rosalina, now bound to chains, to wherever they are headed to.

Rosalina shed sad tears, knowing she may never see the Lumas again. But most of all, she may never see HIM again as he may be in a relationship with his 'special one'. So, in a last ditch effort, she screamed out his name into the cosmos hoping he would come for her.

"MARIOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"

Her screams fell short as she was slapped by the women, one by one.

The Lumas then knew what to do. Tell him what happened. They hoped he wouldn't go out on a limb when he heard the bad news.

MSD: I'll be pretty busy for a while, so stay tight. My partner will write the next chapter. Also my first fic fell through due to writer's block and lack of inspiration. Sorry!

Starrgrl: Yay!! Cliffhanger! Well, I'll try my best to update the next chapter as soon as possible. That means getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night! =D Don't worry…I used to do that…anyways, I would love to read your reviews! ;)
