When we last left Mario and Luigi, they had arrived home from 2 hours of partying in order to celebrate the 100th time Mario beat Bowser. They got home, and then we left off. No real cliffhangers to get you wondering "what's going to happen, now?" But, anyway, here's the 2nd chapter of
Mario vs. Mario
2: Rescuing the King of Desert Hill
Mario and Luigi went and got some rest. Time passed by really quickly. But then again, time always goes by quickly when you're asleep, doesn't it? Anyway, the next morning Mario. He climbed to the top of their bunk bed to wake up Luigi. The two went to the two bathrooms to change into their bathing suits. Then they went outside to go swim.
"Cannonball!" Mario cannonballed into the pool. The wind blew a note into the pool. Mario swam to the note.
"Huh? What's this?" Mario asked. He began to read the note, "I have captured the king of Desert Hill! If you want him, you must come to my castle directly and face me. I have gotten 10 times stronger. With hatred, King of the Koopas: Bowser."
Luigi ran to Mario. "You found something?" He sees the note and reads it himself. "I have captured the king—yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay! Mario, get your clothes on! We've got a new mission to complete!"
Mario went inside to change. He came back outside is approximately 12.3 seconds. He is quick when it comes to Bowser attacking.
"How did you change so fast?" Luigi asked.
"I am quick when it comes to Bowser attacking," Mario answered, "plus, I left my clothes in the living room." They both ran to the door and left the house.
They try to make it through the obstacles. Many koopas and goombas come at them. Mario stomped on their heads and squished most of them. A few scurried around and left.
"Hey! Where are you all going?" Mario walked around. Luigi followed. Mario squished a hiding goomba. Mario ventured to Bowser's castle. It was full of fire pits that Mario and Luigi had to avoid. Fireballs from Bowser statues came towards them. Anything remotely related to lava was tossed into the obstacle course! Luckily, Mario and Luigi dodged it all and made it to Bowser.
Bowser roared when he saw Mario and Luigi. Mario and Luigi team up to beat Bowser, instead of taking turns fighting him 1 on 1.
"Try if you will!" Bowser laughed, "I've grown 10 times stronger! You can't defeat me! Did you read the note?"
"Maybe not if just one of us fights you, but if we both fight you together, we just might actually have a chance!" Mario explained. Mario jumps toward Bowser and attacked him with a fireball. Bowser stalls back, but quickly recovered and inched towards Mario. While he wasn't looking, Luigi snuck up behind him. He grabbed Bowser's tail and Mario attacked Bowser with fireballs. When Bowser's face with charred with fireballs, Luigi threw Bowser out the window.
"We did it again!" Mario yelled in victory. But, during a victory celebration around Bowser's castle, Bowser jumped in through the window.
"I'm not going down so easily!" Bowser yelled. He took a huge breath of fire. Mario and Luigi quickly dodged the fire and fought fire with fire. Mario and Luigi both threw fireballs for double the amount of fireballs.
"Ow! Ow! Ong! Nr! Aag! Gg!" Bowser couldn't dodge the fireballs. There were too many of them! Bowser kept getting hit by the fireballs. Finally, Bowser fell down. Mario and Luigi walk towards Bowser's injured body. Bowser twitches slightly.
"I think we can consider this a victory," Mario said. Mario and Luigi began to leave when Bowser got up.
"Where are YOU going?" Bowser questioned.
"Geez! Don't you ever stay down?" Mario jumped on Bowser's head. Bowser was so weak that he just collapsed to the ground.
"Is he dead?" Luigi asked.
"No, he's not dead, he's still breathing," Mario answered, "but, in this condition, he's not gonna get up for a while." Mario and Luigi rescue the king, who was sitting in a corner of the battlefield.
"Come with us," Luigi said, "we're the good guys."
"You are the best for rescuing me! I thought I would be stuck in that dreadful castle forever! Thank you," the king stated.
Mario, Luigi and the Desert Hill king traveled back to Desert Hill safely. At the Desert Hill castle, all the Desert Hill residents threw a celebration for the rescue of the king.
"Mario. Luigi. You 2 are the true saviors of the world. We give you our thanks. If you need anything at all, we can provide anything for saviors," the king spoke, "goodbye, Mario and Luigi." Mario and Luigi left to the sound of celebration music.
Mario and Luigi walked a lot before finding a hole.
"What's this?" Mario asked.
