Kai's RPG Adventure
Episode three: The First Adventure
We see Kai as he reaches the fortress. He stares up at the top, which reaches the clouds.
"That is high," Kai thought. "This is going to be harder than I thought."
Kai opened the doors to the fortress and walked inside. The room was dark and seemed to be abandoned. Once Kai was all of the way in, the doors shut behind him. He jumped.
"You'll be alright. You'll be alright. You'll be alright…" Kai thought over and over.
He eventually stepped on some bones and shrieked. He then calmed down.
"Nothing to worry about," Kai said. "They're just bones."
Kai then continued. The bones began to rattle. Kai turned around to see the bones formed Dry Bones (skeleton forms of Koopas). They began to charge for him. Kai slashed at them with his sword. He chopped one's head off. The body then picked up the head and placed it back on its body. Kai then put his sword up and ran.
"I WANT TO GO HOME!!!!!" Kai shouted as he ran from the Dry Bones. Kai found a door and opened it. He then stepped inside the room behind it. He then shut the door behind him. Kai panted over and over.
"That was close," Kai said.
"Hello! Who are you?" a voice asked.
Kai looked forward and saw a mushroom person in a cage. This mushroom person was about Kai's age. He has a wizard's hat on top of his head. He is also is holding a staff in his right hand. The cage is at the other side of the room.
"I'm Kai," Kai said, still clinging to the door. "Who are you?"
"My name is Toad," the mushroom person said. "I came here looking for Mario."
"You must be the guy Toadsworth told me about," Kai said. "He said to bring you back after I help you out."
Kai then stepped forward.
"Don't come any closer!" Toad shouted. "There is a…"
Kai's foot stepped on a tile that then lowered.
"…booby trap," Toad ended. Kai then stepped back as the floor below him began to open. Then a new floor began to rise from the hole. On top of the new floor was a gigantic black turtle with humungous spikes on its shell. The turtle is the size of a monster truck. The turtle then roared.
"Crap," Kai said. "Why do these things happen to me?!"
The turtle charged for Kai. Kai jumped out of the way just in time. The turtle then flipped around. He continued to charge at Kai while biting at him. Kai barely dodged each of the bites. The turtle then whacked Kai with his arm. Kai slammed against Toad's cage.
"How do I beat something 5 times my size?" Kai asked.
Toad saw a bag tied on Kai's belt.
"What's in the bag?" Toad asked.
"Just some strange rocks the shopkeeper gave me," Kai answered.
"Throw one or two into the monster's mouth," Toad said.
"Whatever gets that thing away from me!" Kai shouted as he threw two of the strange rocks from the bag. The creature then swallowed them. The creature looked sick. The beast then exploded. When the smoke cleared, bits and pieces of it were all over the place. Kai had a surprised look on his face.
"What just happened?" Kai asked.
"Those were bomb rocks," Toad said. "If they are out of their bag for too long, they explode."
"That was awesome," Kai said. "Now let's get you out of that cage."
Kai took out a bomb rock.
"What are you doing?" Toad asked.
"Stand back," Kai said.
Kai placed a bomb rock within the lock. He then ran to the other side of the room. We see the hallway outside the room. An explosion forces the door onto the other side of the hall. On the door is a blackened Kai. Toad walked up to him.
"You do know that the key was behind my cage, right," Toad said.
"I wish you told me that earlier," Kai said.
"Follow me," Toad said. Toad went down the hall. Kai then got up and followed him.
Toad and Kai entered a new room. In the room is a table with a piece of paper on it.
"That's weird," Toad said. "I've checked every room in this fortress and I haven't found Mario."
"Maybe he was thrown out the window," Kai suggested.
Kai looked out the window.
"Nobody would survive a fall like that," Kai said.
Toad read the piece of paper that was on the table. He then had a shocked look on his face.
"This isn't good," Toad said.
"What isn't good," Kai asked.
"Mario was never here!" Toad said. "This was all a trick to get us here while Bowser's troops attack the castle!!!"
