AN: WHOA. It has been a looooooooooong time since this story was last updated. I'm revamping it, I deleted the old chapter three, which I didn't like, and am writing a new one. Gloomtail's Revenge is officially back! Note that this chapter is so short because it's filler; just explaining how Mario and Koops rejoined and got to the castle. And I need to get my creative juices for this story to flow again. It's been almost two years after all.

Koops was prepared. His father would hold down the town. He had contacted Mario via SP and told him everything that had happened, and he promised he would meet him at the pipe leading to Hooktail's-Gloomtail's-castle.
Walking through Petal Meadows, Koops was inconsolable. How had this mess happened? Everything had been going so well, so perfect. And in one fell swoop it was over.
And then another emotion hit him; anger. He would not allow Gloomtail to get away with this. If it was the last thing he did, he would make sure he sent the beast straight back to the darkness of death.
As he neared the castle, a warm and familiar site met him. A red hat with an M, a moustache, and blue overalls. It was Mario, the one who taught him what bravery truly was.
"Mario!" he exclaimed, running towards his old friend. Mario looked up and waved back, smiling.
Koops stopped short in front of the plumber. Although he was overjoyed to see him again, he knew what they were there for.
"Thanks you for coming, man." Mario nodded solemnly, and then turned to gaze at the castle.
"Just like old times, huh?"
They leaped into the pipe and reappeared at the castle. Taking the familiar paper plane venture to the entrance, they landed at the end of the broken bridge and reshaped. Staring at the rotting, wooden purple door. Koops took a deep, shuddering breath, and exhaled. Remembering Koopie Koo's screams and the disintegrated houses, he felt the familiar surge of anger. He was ready for anything.

AN: If you were disappointed with this chapter, don't worry. I promise the next one will be action packed, dramatic and awesome, and I will make it the best I possibly can. Reviews and suggestions for the next chapter are very greatly appreciated, as always.
