The Next Star Festival
Chapter 2
A/N: Now it is set in the year 2107. The Next Star Festival
I do not own any Mario characters, Mario places, and Mario ideas, they all belong to Nintendo. I own Nangon, my OC.
"13 Years and still no sign of any Lumas." Rosalina cried in sorrow. The star queen couldn't look after the Lumas as there weren't any; they have all turned into stars. Or they are dead. Earth could be seen now and Rosalina's arrival is about to happen. She could recognise the green and the blue of earth and where her landing spot shall be.
"Any second n-SMASH!" The observatory had smashed into the surface of the Earth, she had either missed the spot or there was not one after all. She removed a rock which was on her stomach so she could get out; there was a cry in the background.
"SEARCH THE SHIP! WE NEED THAT SLUT DEAD OR ALIVE!" The voice shouted.
"But Z-"Another voice was interrupted.
"NOW! OR ALL OF YOU WILL BE FED INTO THE MASTERS PIT!" About 10 people (or creatures) headed to the destroyed observatory to look for Rosalina. She squeezed in through some rubble and she found herself in a half of the Library. Books were on the floor and torn apart due to the crash. But that was not important, she had came through the only foreseeable exit and entrance of the Library, she tried to cover it in books, until she saw the head of a Koopa Troopa.
"I FOUND HER I FOUND HER, GUYS! GUYS! LOOK!" He shouted. Many other Koopas were seen and heading straight to the library. She tried to remove some rubble but it didn't work. She tried harder but the sound of books falling to the floor meant the sign of no hope. She was surrounded.
"So, you think you can escape Bowsers Kingdom Galaxy?" The lead Koopa Troopa asked. Rosalina thought for a moment, maybe Bowsers Kingdom Galaxy is Earth. It doesn't sound good.
"We need you dead, the commander needs your powers, and do you have any last words?" He said.
Rosalina was about to say words but somebody said it for her.
"DUCK!" Rosalina ducked with her eyes closed, and heard the sound of spikes being stabbed into people. "GET UP ROSALINA, GET OUT OF HERE GO!" The voice spoke again.
"GET THEM!" The commander shouted, kicking his assistant as he charged to Rosalina, chasing her across the rabble. Rosalina ran off of the rabble and the assistant tripped over the rabble and banged his head on the rabble. Rosalina sped into the trees to get out of sight. She saw a large turtle about ten metres away from her.
"Rosalina!" He shouted as he ran to her and they stopped running.
"Oh my, is it who I think it is?" Rosalina replied.
"Yes it is me, Nangon. Such an honour to see the star-queen once more."
"I haven't had any Lumas for 13 years. But now my observatory has been destroyed, I must have missed the landing"- Nangon interrupted Rosalina. "There is not one, there are none; Bowser had removed them about 30 years ago. During the discovery of the Outcast Galaxies."
"What are they?" Rosalina asked.
"I shall tell you later, but first, we shall travel to my lodge in the woods where you can sleep tonight." He suggested as they walked towards the Lodge.
As Nangon and Rosalina had arrived at the Lodge. Nangon spoke:
"You can look around my gardens if you want to, I shall make some supper." Rosalina walked into the gardens of Nangon's household. First she came across a decorated garden with many statues of turtles. She slowly walked onwards through the gate to the second garden. It was filled with growing plants and waterfalls which gave her a glimpse of some of her Lumas she had last century, especially one of Polari. She came to the last garden, except it was not a garden; it was a small cemetery of Nangon's friends and family. Most of them were graves of turtles until she came across a row of five grave-stones and a sign at the end. She read the first one.
RIP: Mario H Kun. (1982 – 2075)
Defender and leader of the mushroom 5 to stop Bowser's wrath. We salute you.
She then read the next one.
RIP: Luigi (Mr L) S Kun. (1980 – 2075)
Another defender of the mushroom 5 to stop Bowser's wrath. We salute you too.
She read the next three with tears dripping down her eyes; she knelt down on her knees to read the sign;
These 5 people, or heroes; Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi and Toad had managed to stop the Wrath of Bowser on trying to rule the world. We salute you all.
Rosalina had almost begun to cry but with her fate of saving the planet was in her heart. She stood up and walked into the house. Nangon spoke out.
"Mario had died of old age, and Luigi, and the others, after that Bowser had his chance, so he conquered the world, and the all of the Galaxies nearby, even the Outcast Galaxies, he gave his commander and the commander's assistant in charge of Earth."
"So what did you do?" Rosalina asked.
"I attempted to kill his commander the year after, but there is too many of them, after that, I spent 35 years hiding." Nangon replied.
"That's very unfortunate, then how did you survive?" Rosalina asked with a very queer accent.
"I have put Mekking devices around my house, it basically means that any Koopa comes past my house will see plain nothing, my house is invisible to enemies." Nangon replied.
"That's lucky, I'm very tired, perhaps I should go to bed then." Rosalina said.
"Upstairs and to the right is your bedroom." Nangon said.
Later that night, Rosalina got herself out of bed and looked through the only window. She saw a plain forest with surrounding trees, and a small orange light in the trees, it had lead to a small Koopa scout-camp which then lead into the outskirts of Toad Town, or what was to be Toad Town; locked by a gate, and the orange light was a fire, guarded by two Koopa Troops and a Koopa Troopa Corporal. Rosalina slowly opened the window trying not to wake Nangon up. Soon, the window had fully opened and Rosalina could fit through it. She flew down the wall and made it to the ground; she had left the area of the Mekking devices so she was visible now. Creeping through the trees, Rosalina felt very cold due to the gust of wind that swooped into her face. She hid in a bush and peeked through it, she could here muttering speech commanded by the corporal. She found a stone to use, so she threw it at a tree to make some sound and distraction. She lobbed it and it hit the tree with a heavy sound of a "BUNG" and the troops reacted quickly.
"Search over there!" The Corporal yelled. "We might be lucky this time!" After the Koopas were long gone into the forest, Rosalina picked up another stone and threw it at the Corporal's head which knocked him out. Polari always commented on Rosalina's aim when he was with her. She ran towards the gate of Toad Town and froze the bars with her powers and punched it with her fist. She jumped through the gate and hurried up to Toad Town.
The two Koopa recruits had come back with a dead deer in their hands.
"Hey boss?" Asked one of the Koopa recruits. "Err, Boss?" he said again. They walked up to the corpse of the boss and they saw a stone on one of his eyes with blood dripping down to the ground, then leading a path which lead to the destroyed gate with a hole. Both of the Koopa Troopas were very angry.
Nangon had woken up back in his Lodge and went into Rosalina's room. He saw what had happened, the bed was empty and the window was open. He looked through the window and saw the action. The dead Koopa Corporal and broken gate to Toad Town. He took a deep breath, and then rushed downstairs outside.
EOC: The time is now 2107 and Rosalina has found the source to the broken landing spot.
