So yeah, this is me, ChrisMSMB, and my OC, Chris the Blastoise, working together with our pal, Zeldamaster456, on yet another exciting co-op story. ^^
Chris: That's two co-op stories and four other stories...That's a lot. ^^;
ChrisMSMB: True but it is fun. Anyway, all of you readers should know that we, as in zeldamaster456 and ChrisMSMB, do not – I repeat – do not own Nintendo.
Chris: That way, none of you can sue us for the money we do not have! :P
ChrisMSMB: Exactly; so now enjoy our chapter as well as the overall story. :)
Chapter 2
"Maw ha ha! Any second they will all be here and then that us when I will woo Peach so much that she will beg me to be her partner!"
"Yeah, you go dad!"
"You will get her for sure this time your wasting-time-ness."
"Yes Kamek, it will happen this time because..."
"Dad look! She is here!" Bowser hurried to the nearest window and feasted his eyes at the approaching pink princess.; hearts replaced his eyeballs as he rested his elbow on the sill and then his head upon his resting arm. "Look at her son, so beautiful."
"Yeah, Mama is pretty...but there is that mean, nasty plumber dad too!"
"What? Where?" Bowser growled and rage filled his every bone as he watched Mario take the princess' hand as they both made their trek to the castle's front doors. "That blasted plumber! Always thinks that it is okay to steal Peach away from me!"
"I know, that is totally rude!"
"But mark my words son," Bowser growled, "I will defeat that plumber one day and claim Peach as my own!"
"You go dad!"
Bowser smirked, "Come on, let's go and look at his retarded face downstairs. After all, this tournament is just an easy way for me to kidnap the princess when the time comes..."
"Can I help too dad, please?"
Bowser grinned, "Of course you can."
"You know, this is probably the first time I ever came to Bowser's Castle willingly," Mario stated.
"Me too," Peach agreed.
"I am getting scared guys," Daisy spoke, tightly grabbing Luigi's arm. "You'll protect me, right Luigi?"
Luigi could not but have blushed, "Y-y-yes, I'll protect you princess." Through his really intense moment, he was oblivious to the fact that Daisy was not one bit scared of entering Bowser's domain, rather she made an excuse just to get close to Luigi.
"How cute is that," Peach whispered to Mario, both knowing what Daisy's real motive was.
"Hey Daisy," Mario laughed, "Make sure you protect my brother because he has a tendency to faint under pressure and fear!"
"Okay," Daisy piped, clutching Luigi's arm more firmly.
"Bro, I do not faint under pressure or fear! I could totally take Bowser on by myself if I had to...I did once..."
"No, that was King Boo in a Bowser suit or something. But I give you points on that since you are brave when you actually need to be."
"It is about time you all showed up!" It was the big koopa himself: Bowser, and whether he was pleased to see everyone will remain a mystery to this very day. Peach scooted slightly behind Mario and took his hand; Mario took a defensive position (for some reason, Luigi fell a little behind Daisy as well).
"Bowser," Mario started, "This better not be some kind of trick."
"Nonsense plumber boy," Bowser snickered, "Can't we all just have an honest kart race?"
"Well yeah I guess..."
"Your sneakiness, I have news for you." A Magikoopa draped in blue exclaimed as he made his appearance on his broom.
"Kamek, what do you want? Can't you see that I am a little busy here?"
"My apologizes, your impatient-ness, but it seems the other racers will not be here for another hour or so."
"You're kidding me right?" Kamek shook her head. "That's terrific, I am not going to repeat myself over again!"
"I got some tea and cookies ready in the kitchen your rashness," Kammy from around the corner called.
Bowser sighed, "I guess tea and cookies can't hurt. What about you four?" Mario nodded, Peach agreed, Luigi was unsure, and Daisy only shrugged; but the group went into the kitchen anyway and ate some cookies and drank some tea.
One hour later: knocking was heard at the door, signifying that the other contestants were now here at Bowser's Castle.
"That's pretty impressive how you can burp the alphabet Bowser," Mario complimented.
"Proudly runs through the family," Bowser grinned. "Who knew that Daisy could beat me at arm wrestling!"
Daisy used one of her fingers to twirl a piece of her auburn hair, "Yeah well, I do a lot of physical activity with my dad and stuff."
"Ah we are already here," Bowser realized. He moved to back to his original spot before he had tea and cookies; Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Daisy likewise did the same.
"Um I was here and Peach you were behind me...Yeah, you were also holding my hand like that (Mario and Peach blushed) and...hey, is that a new perfume you have?" Mario took a sniff, "It smells really nice!"
"Why thank you Mario, and yes it is new. I brought it yesterday at..."
"Oh will you two losers just get a room and shut up already," Wario bellowed, "You guys are worse than Waluigi when he has fantasies about Daisy!"
"You have fantasies about me?"
"Wario, why would lie about that to everyone about that?"
"You tell them to me 'cause no one else would listen to you!"
"That does not mean..."
"ENOUGH!" Bowser's outraged yell caused everyone in the room to immediately shush. "Finally, you all were giving me a headache!"
"Aspirin your annoyed-ness?"
"I don't need an aspirin Kammy!" Even though Bowser said that, his head told him otherwise, "On second thought, give me the aspirin." As Bowser took his aspirin and rubbed his head he continued, "You all know why we are here, right? I won't have to explain myself?" Everyone shook their head, all except one who had their hand raised. Bowser sighed and pointed to him, "Yes you in the back, what do you want?"
"How is this two partner team thing going to work," Yoshi asked.
"Simple, find your partner and build a kart big enough for the both of you. Junior, show them what I mean!" In an instant, roaring was heard; confused looks formed across the faces of many of Mario's friends – that was until something big burst through the door and over everyone's heads. It came down with a loud thud (the tires barely skinning Mario's nose) in front of them.
Indeed, this kart was big, very big, compared to the standard karts Mario and company were used to. It was long, green, had painted flames on it, and of course, Bowser's face on the front (pretty much ugly to everyone who was not Bowser, Bowser Jr, Kamek, Kammy, or any of Bower's minions).
"That's..uh...quite a kart there Bowser," Luigi commented.
"You bet you pasta loving butt it is, Green Stache! As you can see from my awesome ride, there will be two people riding one kart, one will be the driver and the other will be the backseat helper..."
"What does..."
"Quiet you! Wait until I am finished!" When Toad remained silent, Bowser continued, "*Ahem* Like I was saying: the backseat helper is in charge of throwing items, knocking anyone close enough to your kart, and taunting anyone when the driver honks the horn for the fun of it; of course the driver drives the kart, cannot argue with that logic."
"But how does the..."
"Shut up and let me finish pink dinosaur thing...creature...whatever you are! Anyway, before certain people rudely interrupted me, the backseat helper is going to hang on this pole thingy behind the driver seat and..."
"What if..."
"Shut up Mario, I am not finished! Like I was saying, no the backseat helper will not fall off unless he lets go of the pole, unless you are an idiot like Mario here and let go...which is not a bad idea..."
"Bowser get back to..."
"Quiet you pink toad girl! Now to finish up, the two partners can switch spots by one person jumping to over one side and the other person jumps over the other." Bowser and his son performed a demonstration in which showed everyone how the ritual was done; Bowser's minions all gave them a ten while Kammy and Kamek just gave them nine.
"A nine," Bowser Jr whined, "Why?"
"It was not so much you, your whiny-ness," Kamek started.
"It was really his ungraceful-ness, his posture and form were something to be desired," Kammy finished.
"Bah, what do you two hags know?" Bowser shook his head and turned his attention back to his guests, "Well that concludes my orientation, any questions?" When no raised their hand, Bowser growled, "Oh, so you think it is wise to interrupt me with questions during my lecture – out of the kindness of my heart? You know what, see if I care! Just take this list of who your partner is!" Bowser tossed Mario a long piece of paper that, even as Mario caught it, continued to unroll itself until it hit the front door. The group huddled together to see the list and was a little shocked to see who made number one on the list, but not so much:
Partners for Bowser's Ultimate Race! Maw hah hah hah!
Peach and Bowser
What shocked the group the most was the fact that Peach and Bowser were the only ones on the list; the rest of the paper was empty.
"I strongly disagree with this list," Peach objected.
"Bowser, where is everybody else?"
"Oh them? Frankly, I do not care who teams up with who, just as long as I get my Peachy I am totally fine with it."
"Well when you put it like that..." Waluigi snatched the paper from Mario's hand and began scribbling something on it with a marker he had in his pocket. He snickered as he finished; the group huddled to see what he wrote:
Waluigi and Daisy
"Ha," Daisy laughed, elbowing Waluigi in the stomach and taking his marker, "It's more like this!" She also did some small scribbling and the group again huddled to see what was change was made:
Luigi and Daisy
The W and A were scribbled out and the L has been capitalized. Content, Daisy grabbed Luigi's arm and pulled him out the door, "Come on Luigi, let's get started on our kart!" Seeing Daisy's enthusiasm also enthused the others and pretty soon they too filed out the castle to get building on their karts, Peach included.
And much to Bowser's dismay, "That blasted plumber took her away from me again! From behind my back and under my nose!"
"Don't worry dad, that plumber will pay for that and then we will get Mama Peach back!"
"Your obliviousness," Kamek started, "If you were to win this tournament..."
"Then the princess will surely be yours," Kammy finished.
"Kammy, stop finishing my sentences! I can do that all by myself!"
"That is a very good idea Kammy," Bowser mused.
"What do you mean 'Kammy' your dumbness! It was my idea first!"
"Kamek, shut up! You talk to much," Bowser looked at his son and grinned evilly, "Come on Junior, you will be my partner and together we will defeat the annoying plumber once and for all and take the princess!"
"All right dad, let's get back Mama Peach!"
Down finally, it took so long to finish this chapter (some part due to overall laziness)!
Well, back to you buddy. It's your turn again; I'll be back after the next chapter! ;)
See ya! ;)
