A soft, blue, spiral mist surrounded Joanna and Majora shortly after they jumped thru the portal, blocking everything from sight.
"My legs are shrinking!" Majora yelled. Both Joanna and Majora turned round and pure white. Only, Majora had a fluffy striped tail too. They were boos! King Boo inspected them and had a satisfied look on his face.
"Majora, you are a tail boo. Tail boo's are excellent fighters and can turn invisible. Joanna you are a normal boo. I am also a normal boo but I have more ghost magic than other boos so you might have lots of magic too." King Boo said. Majora swung her tail back and forth delightedly while Joanna flapped her ghost hands and managed to fly.
A whirring sound rumbled from the portal causing Majora to finally learn how to fly. The portal was closing slowly. Joanna looked around and saw a magnificent sight. They were high in the air with clouds drifting near the sky islands and little villages littered over the horizon. It was the Mushroom Kingdom! Lush grass swayed under them like it would never end in the calm breeze.
Majora looked to the right and saw what looked like a giant pink castle and guessed that it was probably Princess Peach's. At the thought of Peach and Mario, Majora angrily slapped her large, striped tail onto the grass. She didn't have any ideas of what her tail could do.
By slapping her tail on the ground she sent a raging wind towards Joanna and King Boo. King Boo used his magical abilities to shield himself but Joanna tumbled off the sky island and into the air. She fell onto another sky island, this time bumping into a mad Luigi.
"It's a ghost again!" Luigi complained in a Spanish accent. "Must be disposed!"
Luigi pointed his ghost capturing machine at Joanna and pressed the 'on' button. A red laser struck Joanna on the head, making her screech in surprise. Pain spread through her body in a second. Majora flung her tail at Luigi's head to try to distract him while King Boo worked on his ungrasping spell.
Joanna could not think of letting down King Boo. He was her number one favorite, and the thought made her feel fury explode inside of her. She roared madly and did something she never knew she was capable of.
A blue shelled koopa troopa sprung from Joanna's body. Joanna had just transformed into a blue shell! Since the ghost capturing machine didn't work on koopa troopas Joanna quickly used her spiky shell to poke Luigi.
"What are you doing?" Luigi gasped. "But-but you're a ghost!" Joanna sneered and pushed Luigi off the edge of the island. Her last words were, "I'M NOT A GHOST I'M A BOO!"
Joanna returned to a shocked King Boo and a spellbound Majora. Joanna was still a blue shell and she had no idea how she was going to turn back into a Boo. She pictured herself as a boo in her head, then looked at her body. Her tiny white wings and bright blue shell shrunk into the round body of a boo. To be honest, Joanna was very impressed with herself.
"That morphing spell took me ages to perform!" King Boo gaped. "And you just did it! Majora also did a tail slap that only very skilled tail boos can do! What is it with you two?"
If Majora had an amazing fighting tail then Joanna thought it was fair she could perform magic spells, even if they were performed by accident. She shrugged at King Boo while smiling with pleasure. Joanna thought that if she could somehow earn respect from King Boo, she'd be set for life with happiness and approval.
King Boo shook off the look of surprise on his face and said firmly, "My mansion is the direction of the rising sun. Follow me."
Flying turned out to be a very useful skill in the mushroom kingdom. Without it, King Boo, Majora and Joanna wouldn't have made half way to the mansion in less than what felt like an hour.
"King Boo!" Joanna called. "I hear something coming. Wait, a lot of things!"
Majora looked ahead and saw one of the few villages they'd have to come across. Usually, the three would avoid visible villages but this one was practically invisible. The koopa troopa village was covered with green trees and vines for decorations. Green shells were the most common and most visible, followed by red shells and very rare blue shells.
"Living! That koopa village is completely unseeable!" King Boo complained. "Good thing Joanna heard it-you heard it? Even I can't hear it from here."
Joanna shrugged and wore a confused face. "You can't hear it? Then again, my hearing has been extremely sharp since I did that morph spell. Can koopas hear well?"
"That might just be it!" Majora said excitedly. "When I played Luigi Mansion on my x-box there was a cheat where you could turn into a koopa and detect almost everything by using the koopa hearing!"
They would have to pass the koopa village to reach king boo's territory. When they neared the large village, they heard a clink of shells but nothing else. Joanna suddenly remembered that koopas have their only language from playing the game paper mario. The language was called Shellish, but koopas knew how to speak English too.
"Halt!" Something called. 10 armed red shelled koopa troopas jumped out of the long grass one by one and surrounded them in a orderly way. "What business does the boos have with us?"
Joanna raised her ghost hand slightly to warn them off and was surprised when the koopas held up dangerous bone spears defensively at them. "I'm not even doing anything! We're just passing through!" Joanna said angrily.
"You can explain to the village elder!" One of the koopas hissed.
King Boo was outraged at the koopas. How dare they challenge him, the mighty and powerful King of the boos? Majora on the other hand was using her smart brain to calculate an advantage. "We could get them to be our allies." Majora whispered in King Boo's ear. King Boo instantly felt all the anger drained out of him and replaced it with a skill tactic.
"Yes, bring us to your village elder please." King Boo said calmly.
The koopas surrounded them once again and started to march towards their village. The one in lead turned his head and said, "Just be prepared for the trials. Surviving them is your main priority."
Surviving?
