Enrique C.G: The Bounty-hunter of Defiance

Chapter 3: The Princess of War and Time

So yeah, I feel like it's been a while so I might as well carry on, I have some things to say about these Origins.

There will be 10 Chapters each, resulting in to c21,000 words.

Chapter 10 will be the same as Tom's one.

After these and Speed Dials will be "Fighting in the Streets." Based on riots, this involves many OC's and Mario canons.

Chapter 10 will reveal the language spoken in Fanfics that is not English.

Enrique and Tom will be in it as well as the rest.

Anyway, back to the story.

January 2010

Enjoy!

"So, we're taking the train line to Castelia or Vurduresa?" Enrique travelled along an abandoned sewer line which led to an underground train passage.

"This automatic train, made by Leah will take us to Castelia, where Madison, the Princess of the Southwest Résethal county and her castle is at." Peach pressed a button which made a quiet sound, alerting the Toads to send in an automatic train. In ten seconds, it arrives and Peach and Enrique get onto the train.

"So what exactly will happen after we cease the riots?" Enrique moved over to the door of the train when it was travelling at 160mph. "I mean, I've been brought here by you lot and what will I get after all of this duty."

"Oh Enrique, I could pay you, but what with? Money? Chores? Sex?" Peach made Enrique giggle after what she said.

"Sex you say? Well to hell with that idea, I would just like one thing." Quietly, Enrique walked over to Peach with a smile. "The one thing that I want is..."

"Me?" Peach suggested.

"No."

"Daisy?"

"No!"

"Madison?"

"I haven't even seen her yet! Isn't she a Sprixie though?" Enrique put his hand on Peach's shoulder.

"Yes she is, but what do you want, I could give you anything." Peach went to sit on the seats on the train with Enrique.

"I just want to live here. My mother died of a bad disease they call it cancer, and my father Božidar Calaghal thinks that I'm missing and that I can find my own way back."

"How old is your father Enrique?" Peach made a serious face.

"He is fifty-two, but he looks twenty years younger." Enrique felt moody.

"Hmm, we don't often accept the prop-Earth travellers into these lands, but since you and Tom are going to save the land, I hope then you can!" The train stops and Peach and Enrique get off of it.

"Great, now we're still in a sewer line, why is it like this?" Enrique wondered as he felt a pillar which gave him a greyish mark on his fingers.

"Only do we and the other know about this, it was a quick use of transport during the Great War." Peach pressed a button that summoned another lift which took them up to the bottom of the castle of Castelia. There were barricades of wood and shattered windows on the grounds, Peach led Enrique up a large staircase on to the second floor, soon after a green-shelled Koopa charged into the room with a pitch fork.

"Death to all princesses!" Peach backed away as the Koopa spoke, Enrique dashed to the Koopa and punched him in the face, jumped on to him, trapping him to his shell and kicking it out of the room.

"Thank you Enrique, you saved me, now let's find Madison." Peach led Enrique up staircases after staircases until they ended up in the highest room of the Castle, Madison's bedroom.

"Princess, Peach and her assistant have arrived." A Sprixie Guard alerted Madison as she looked out of a window, watching all of the fires about 200 metres away in Vurduresa.

"Oh how did it have to be like this, Peach! You've arrived! With your assistant, who is the bounty-hunter that you speak of?" Madison floated towards Peach; to the left hand side was Princesses Kira and Arianna.

"He sure looks like one to me." Arianna walked over to Enrique. "How many have you taken?" She asked.

"Well, one for now but-."

"One?" Arianna felt confused.

"There will be plenty under your commands in which I will do for you all." Enrique felt welcomed into Castelia.

"Indeed he will. Madison, what's the news?" Peach walked over to a small table with a champagne bottle and glasses.

"There have been three killings this week, two of us and one of them, Jack killed one of them and Jaapayo the other." Madison poured some champagne into Peach's glass.

"Jaapayo? I thought he was Mario's best friend." Enrique thought in his head as he sat down on a chair. "So, what is my first job to do?" He spoke out to the Princesses.

"That will be given as soon as Tom has finished his job, for now you can go and scout around the city for anything bad, you see, these flames aren't over the whole land of Castelia, only by the castle because of ME!" Madison hovered over to the window; she pointed over to her left and showed Enrique a burning city, then a destroyed city, and lastly, a defensive city.

"Vurduresa, the city in flames, riots galore, bloodbath-mania, fighting frenzy. Urscan, destroyed; nothing habits there except for the remaining vermin, some say the RR is there. Aypyidaw, a once poor but now richer city, has the best soldiers, besides us, and is also the least populated, least attacked, and smallest in size. Do you see the reason of all of these?" Madison looked at Enrique in the eyes.

"KOOPA!" Kira screamed as the Koopa threw a spear. Enrique pulled off a plank of wood from the window and threw it at the Koopa's head, knocking him out.

"That was close." Enrique walked over to the knocked out Koopa; he grabbed the plank and stabbed it into the Koopa.

"Too close that it hit." Peach pointed Tom to where the Javelin landed, in the chest of Arianna. The other four rushed over to Arianna.

"Do something! My kingdom will go down in depression." Arianna moved closer to the window.

"Once I owned all of these four cities, now I gave them to you, Arianna, the riots will strike your city." Éclair, who just arrived, put a tissue and some cloth by Arianna's wound.

"No worries, we have the army and Captain Toadbert defending the land." Arianna fell to the floor.

"Enrique! Go! To the medical room! Try and salvage some kits." Peach ordered Enrique to exit the room; he travelled back down the stairs and spotted two Koopas that were charging with pitch forks. Enrique grabbed a leftover spear from a wave of Koopas, he stabbed it through the first Koopa, but the second Koopa stabbed the pitchfork right into him, Enrique fell to the floor almost unconscious, with his very blurry eyesight, he spotted Tom rushing into the room and killing the other Koopa...

Enrique opened his eyes, feeling perfectly fine, he got up and realised he was in the medical room, all treated.

"Somebody must've saved me." He saw a locked door which led outside of the patient cabinet number 4. He moved his hand towards the door to unlock it, but he heard to Koopish voices.

"Unë e di se ai është në atje." The first Koopa said to the other.

"Ai ka për të marrë së shpejti." The second Koopa replied. Enrique busted the door open, he knocked out the first Koopa with the door, and the second with his fists.

"That sorted them out." Enrique left the room grabbing a lot of health kits.

He spotted Arianna, Kira, Éclair, Daisy and Peach.

"How did you get cured, Arianna?" Enrique wondered as he walked up to her, looking at her chest, which has a slight hole in it.

"Tom did it for me." She replied with a giggle.

"Well, just in case you princesses need them, here are eight health kits." Enrique placed them on the table next to the champagne bottle. "Where is Tom anyway?"

"He is with Madison, he is about to travel back in time for the scouting." Peach walked up to Enrique and kissed him. "You're next."

"Indeed, by the way, I heard the voices of two Koopas while getting the health kits, but they're dead anyway, they were speaking in a language that I thought I've heard before." Enrique sighed while walking towards the window.

"It's called Old Koopish here, they took it from Earth, but most tend to speak English, taken by Earth." Kira alerted. "My dad said that 30 years ago, in the 1980s, Koopas didn't speak English, and that's why the Great War was won to them, just about." Enrique looked out of the window to see four Koopas with pitchforks charging into the building.

"We've got four Koopas, heading straight into the building! Find leftover weapons of both sides. Aren't there any guards?" Enrique picked up two pitchforks, a spear and a rake and handed them over to the princesses.

"You can defend yourselves with these while I spot the Koopas." Enrique walked down the stairs into the main floor and hit behind some destroyed ornaments, watching the Koopas enter the castle. They got into the room, but Enrique spotted them entering the left way, towards the medical room.

"Dead Koopas!" One of the four shouted. Enrique looked to his right and saw a slightly damaged dagger; he picked it up and aimed at the Koopas.

"We are being watched; if only we spoke in Old Koopish." Enrique targeted the third Koopa, and threw it.

"Hold on!" The third Koopa looked onto the floor and picked up a stained spear on another Koopa. The dagger that Enrique threw hit a glass pane and broke the window.

"What...was...that?" The fourth Koopa looked by where Enrique was. Something wants to kill us. From the second floor, a spear was thrown at the second Koopa, but it missed...

"UP THERE! THE PRINCESSES!" The Koopas charged upstairs and the princesses attacked them with their pitchforks. Enrique got up, picked up the spear and threw it with staggering speed, stabbing through the first Koopa and hitting the third Koopa, killing them both. The second Koopa used a combat torch and set fire to Daisy's iron pitchfork, conducting the flaming heat and hurting Daisy's arm, making her drop the pitchfork. Enrique dashed and tripped up the second Koopa, with the torch hitting him and setting him on fire, the dead Koopa rolled down the stairs. Just after that Éclair stabbed the fourth Koopa with the other pitchfork.

"Sorted, that was fun." Éclair laughed.

"But there still is a problem." Enrique thought as he grabbed the Koopa weapons, excluding the torch. "According to one of the Toads that I met in the mushroom Kingdom, 25 Koopas attack per night. I've seen 9."

"We have encountered 13 with our soldiers." Peach informed Enrique as he walked up some of the stairs.

"That makes 22, we still have 3 to go, and they tend to be the strongest ones." Enrique travelled to the window on the second floor; he saw no sign of Koopas passing by.

"When will they come?" Daisy wondered.

"That is for Tom to find out, he is the one time travelling, he should get ideas." Enrique walked back to Peach and the rest of the princesses. "We'll need more troops for this one. Or maybe I could be sent out of the castle to investigate the city, isn't that what I was told to do before the first Koopa that I encountered attacked?"

"I think it was Madison who asked you to do that job. I, Éclair, covering for Madison due to her absence, hereby order you to scout the city of Castelia and search the enemies that you will soon kill." Éclair told Enrique to climb down the broken window and scout the city; he crept down the branches of trees and travelled along the main path...

EOC: Finished chapter 3, a bit of collision between Tom and Enrique but they are portrayed in both Fanfics. Which have been released at the same time.

More Easter Eggs! And also another question to ask the readers.

What language is Old Koopish? PM the answer to me.
