The Returning Story of Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins
Chapter Two: Bugs, Birds, and Sophiana's Soothing Lullaby
By Captain Jamesman

Prologue

(Scarletta) Welcome back my children. You are just in time for the 2nd Chapter of the Story. But just incase you missed out or weren't paying attention to the last chapter, I'll give you a review. In the last chapter of our story, Mario was on his way home to Mario Land after saving Sarasaland from Tatanga. However, the spirit of his older cousin, Princess Sophiana, had disturbed his beauty nap to bring him bad news. The island of Mario Land has been invaded by a mysterious Mario imposter named Wario. He had come to take over Mario Land and capture the lovely Princess Sophiana, who is imprisoned in the Mario Castle Dungeon. So now Mario has to save Mario Land and rescue his beloved Cousin from the grimey hands of Wario himself. But first, he had to collect the 6 Golden Coins, for it is the only way to enter the Castle and come face to face with Wario. After Mario & Sophiana's Spirit arrived, Sophiana gave him a Magical Carrot that gave him bunny ears, allowing him to jump higher & hover. Also, they met the first Guardian of the 6 Golden Coins, Ratanious, who was under Wario's Spell. After a good fight, he returned to his normal state, and gave Mario the 1st Golden Coin, The Golden Macro Coin. Now they will travel to the Tree Zone to find the 2nd Golden Coin.

STORY START!!

(Scarletta) While Mario & Princess Sophiana were on their way to the Tree Zone...

(Mario stomach growls)

(Mario) Uhh...

(Sophiana) What's wrong Mario? Are you hungry?

(Mario) Yeah. I haven't eaten in quite sometime now.

(Sophiana) Oh, I'm so sorry. Let me see if I have anything for you to eat.

(Sophiana checks her bag)

(Sophiana) Here, this Mushroom will cure your hunger up in no time.

(Mario) Uh...thanks.

(Mario eats the Mushroom)

(Mario) sigh that's better. Now let's keep going.

(About a few minutes later)

(Mario) Holy Rigatoni!! That tree is huge!!

(Sophiana) Mario, did you already forget about the Big Tree?

(Mario) Huh?

(Sophiana) I don't blame you. You were very young back then. Back in our childhood, when I was 10 & you were 5, we would always come here and climb the tree. Then after we reached the top, we'd always gaze at the pretty sunset. Sometimes I'd sing a song to you and you'd be sound asleep after I was done.

(Mario) Now that you mention it, I kinda remember that time. I really loved your singing, and it always gave me pleasent dreams.

(Sophiana) It was a very lovely childhood. But we can't let our minds wander off right now. We need to find the 2nd Golden Coin.

(Mario) Oh right. Come on!

(Scarletta) And so, our heroes, Mario & Sophiana went into the Tree Zone. But while they were advancing through the zone, they caught up with an army of bugs.

(General Bugginton) Halt! Who goes z'ere.

(Sophiana) The fair Princess of Mario Land, Sophiana.

(Mario) And the Great Super Mario himself!

(General Bugginton) I see, you zous't be against Lord Wario's forcees. For zat, you vill not escape here vith your lives!

(Sophiana) General, this isn't like you! Don't you see that Wario is going to turn Mario Land into a Horrible Domain?

(General Bugginton) Zous't zis face care? You are no vonger in command of us! Now you anz your vittle friend must pereesh! GET READY SOLDIERS!!

(Bugginton Army) YES SIR!!

(Sophiana) Oh no!

(Mario) This ain't good!

(General Bugginton & his army charge after Mario & Sophiana)

(Mario) Stand back Sophiana! I'll take care of this!

(Sophiana) Okay. But please be careful. Bugginton's Army is very strong.

(Bee Soldier) TASTE ZE FURY OF MAH STINGER OF DEATH!!

(The Bee Soldier zooms at Mario)

(Mario) BUZZ OFF FRENCHY!!

(Bugginton Army) YES SIR!!!!

(Mario) Oh boy! More bugs! Someone call an exterminator.

(Scarletta) The entire Bugginton Army started ganging on Mario. Mario was able to beat up every single one who got too close. However, that was really upsetting the General.

(General Bugginton) DAMMIT!! GOD DAMMIT!! ZAT MUSTACHED MAN IS BEATING UP MAH WHOLE ARMY VITHOUT BREAKING A SVEAT!! ZIS CALLS VOR DRASTIC MEASURES!!

(Sophiana) MARIO!! HELP ME!!

(Mario) (I can't let frenchy bug boy run off with Sophiana! Time to put these bunny ears to good use!)

(Mario jumps very high)

(Sophiana) Mario!!

(General Bugginton) VAT THE!!??

(Mario soars down to the ground)

(Mario) FIRE DIVE!!!!

(Mario smacks his fist real hard on the ground, unleashing a big round wave of fire that takes out every single bug soldier)

(General Bugginton) OH NO!!!!

(The wave also hits the general, but Sophiana remains unharmed)

(Sophiana) Mario! You did it!

(Sophiana hugged Mario)

(Mario) Heh, t'was nothin.

(The General & his Army gains conscience)

(General Bugginton) Uhh...vat happened?

(Sophiana) General! You're okay!!

(General Bugginton) Princess? Princess Sophiana? Vhat happened here?

(Sophiana) It appears you were under the control of Wario.

(General Bugginton) Grrrr, zat repulsive rapscallion Wario!! He vas ze vone who brainvashed us! Thank you Princess vor saving us.

(Sophiana) Please General, don't thank me. Thank my younger cousin Mario.

(General Bugginton) Oh, Master Mario, you have returned!

(Mario) Yep. It's been a while General.

(General Bugginton) Vel, I'm truely greatvul for you, Master Mario. So vhat is your business 'ere?

(Sophiana) We came to collect the Golden Coin that is here in Tree Zone.

(General Bugginton) I see. Vel, if you vant it, you'll have to consult vith Lord Black Bird.

(Mario) I remember Black Bird. He's the Guardian of the Golden Tree Coin.

(Sophiana) Mario I'm impressed you remember him.

(Mario) Really? Weird.

(General Bugginton) Good luck mah friends. Be careful!

(Sophiana) Sure thing. We will.

(Mario & Sophiana move on ahead)

(General Bugginton) Come on soldiers! Ve have to get back to our posts!

(Bugginton Army) YES SIR!!

(Scarletta) And so, after freeing General Bugginton & his Army from Wario's Dreaded Curse, Mario & Sophiana went on ahead. After getting through the obstacles of the Tree Zone they reached the very top. Then all of a sudden...

(Black Bird) Huh? Vell vhat do ve have here? Guests! Care for a nice spot of tea & french worm bread?

(Sophiana) Uhh...

(Mario) No thanks sir! First off, I hate tea. Second, Worm Bread is gross! And Third, we came here for your Golden Coin! We really need it to save Mario Land from Wario.

(Black Bird) I see. So you are against Wario's Army. Vor I am very dissapointed. But since I like you 2, I'll make you a deal. I'll give you 2 zis ere Golden Coin, if you can beat me, IN A DANCE OFF!!!!

(Black Bird) You probably von't be laughing, vonce I report you 2 to Lord Wario!!

(Mario & Sophiana) ...

(Black Bird) Now do you vant to dance me for zis ere Golden Coin or get zent to Lord Wario himzelf?

(Mario) Jeez, take a chill pill beak breath, I was gonna accept the challenge anyway. (Maybe all those dances back at Power Star High will finally pay off)

(Sophiana) Please be careful Mario.

(Black Bird) Now zen, LET ZE DANCE OFF BEGIN!!

(Black Bird turns on his radio)

(Black Bird) Your turn Monsieur Mario.

(Sophiana) Please don't go too rough Mario.

(Mario) Don't worry Sophiana. It's in the bag!

(Mario performs 2 spins, one high backflip, a splits, jumps up again, & lands perfectly on the ground. Then he raises his hand in the air like one of those dancers)

(Mario) How's that?

(Sophiana takes out a 9.5 Card)

(Black Bird) Very impressive Monsieur Mario. But don't zink you've von just yet. Check zis!!

(Black Bird performs 4 spins, a front flip, a handstand, and frontflips again)

(Black Bird) Now you try.

(Mario performs 4 spins, a high front flip, a handstand, frontflips again, and bounces in the air like a rubber ball, spins like a basketball, and lands firmly on the ground, pulling a thumbs up sign)

(Mario) Well?

(Sophiana pulls out a 10 Card)

(Black Bird) My, you're much better zen I thought, but you von't be able to pull off my final move!

(Black Bird starts spinning like a top, but he went too fast and slipped, causing him to hit his head real hard on a tree trunk)

(Black Bird) Mama Mia!!

(Black Bird faints)

(Mario) HEY!! THAT DUMB BIRD TOOK MY FAVORITE LINE!!!!

(Black Bird regains conscience)

(Black Bird) Ouch, talk about a hard hitter. Vat is going on 'ere?

(Mario) Long story short, you were being mind controlled by Wario.

(Black Bird) Really eh? I never zought somevon as dim-vitted as Wario vould have done such a zing to me.

(Mario) Well, we need your Golden Coin so we can get into Mario Castle and rid Wario from Mario Land.

(Black Bird) Vel, you know it's getting vary late. Vhy don't you 2 spend the night here tonight.

(Sophiana) It would be an honor Lord Black Bird.

(Mario) Yeah. I am getting a bit tired.

(The Sun is setting)

(Sophiana) ...

(Black Bird) Something vrong your highness?

(Sophiana) Lord Black Bird, would you mind leaving Mario & I alone out here for a while?

(Black Bird) Not at all Princess Sophiana. I'll get your beds vready. I'll see you 2 in a vhile.

(Black Bird goes to a bottom floor)

(Sophiana) Mario, how bout we gaze at the sunset like the good old days.

(Mario) Sure.

(Mario & Sophiana sat on a fluffy tree bush, gazing at the sun)

(Mario) Hey Sophiana?

(Sophiana) Yes?

(Mario) Would you mind singing a wonderful song to me, just like the good ol' days.

(Sophiana) Sure.

(Sophiana get's ready sing)

(Sophiana)
Ara Hoshi-jin, Ara Hoshi-jin, ara naze en koi yu- sou,
(Oh Starman, Oh Starman, oh how I love you so,)
Ara hoshi-jin, ara hoshi-jin, ara naze yu- haken ware kitai,
(Oh Starman, Oh Starman, oh how you give us hope,)
Maro fudan yume amai yume, yaku goshujin kikai yo,
(I always dream sweet dreams, about your wonderful world,)
Sore's issai en ni-do tame raibu mai myou,
(It's all I need to live my life,)
Ara Hoshi-jin, Ara Hoshi-jin, naze ooini motto mune yu- raibu,
(Oh Starman, Oh Starman, how much longer will you live,)
Nimo tatoi oira mune anou ad yu-, en mune fudan koi yu- hi...
(Even though we will say good bye, I will always love your light...)

(Mario was sound asleep, with a smile on his face)

(Sophiana) (He's asleep, just like our childhood days. It always gives me a warm & fuzzy feeling inside looking at Mario like that. Well, it's time we went to bed.)

(Sophiana picked Mario up in her arms)

(Sophina) We will continue our journey tomorrow. But for now, sleep tight my cute little angel.

(Mario) zzzzzzzzzzzzz...thank you, sophiana...zzzzzzzzz

(Scarletta) And so, with the 2nd Golden Coin in possession, Mario & Sophiana had celebrated by watching the sunset just like in their childhood days. And with Sophiana's soothing lullaby, Mario was sound asleep, dreaming pleasent dreams. Now that 2 Golden Coins were at hand, they'll need 4 more to reach the Mario Castle. But in the meantime, our heroes will take a well deserved slumber in the Tree Zone. Sleep tight my heroes, for you will have an exciting journeyful day tomorrow.
