Mario, and Luigi agree to train under Randolf, who has many things to show them in a small amount of time. Toad, Peach and Daisy are making themselves at home in the mushroom village they are staying in, but they could be in trouble with spies. Bowser and Dark Mario's alliance could be deadly to the Mushroom Kingdom law, action needs to be taken as soon as possible.
Mario and Luigi awoke the next morning ready for training. Randolf had been waiting outside for a while, but was in no hurry.
"I trust that you had a good night's sleep then" said Randolf.
"Oh yes, very good" said Mario.
"Good, we will start lesson number one, laser sword!" said Randolf.
"Laser sword?" said Mario and Luigi together.
"You mean you've never fought with a laser sword? Ha ha, no big deal. I am going to educate you really good then" said Randolf as he handed them each a sword. "Dark Mario knows how to use these weapons, so it's obviously important for you to know as well."
Mario was the first for sparring lessons. Mario handled himself pretty good with the Laser Sword for the most part. He made a few mistakes, but not too shabby.
"Mario you are very good, however you leave yourself open for too long and someone will take you down. When you block, make sure you hold the sword with both hands as hard as you can, even while defending your back" said Randolf.
Mario and Randolf tried it again and this time, he got it perfectly.
"Good job, Mario. This is not the easiest thing to learn, but you've taken to it well. Just don't get cocky and let it go to your head. Pride can lead to fall!" said Randolf. Luigi's turn!"
Luigi gulped as he walked over to Randolf for his turn.
Bowser and Dark Mario continued to discuss their plans for capturing the Mushroom Kingdom Alliance! Bowser did have good points, that even Dark Mario had to admit would be helpful. Bowser put emphasis on capturing them, which Dark Mario agreed with.
"We can't afford to go after them ourselves, though. We need bounty hunters" said Bowser. "I have the two greatest bounty hunters in Turtlevainia, Rod and Reel!" said Bowser.
Rod was a Maginikoopa with a bad attitude and a lover of bounty hunting, while his sidekick, a Shy Guy named Reel, had a good way of making the plans work out. They were very highly spoken of by Bowser. Rod and Reel reported to Bowser for the assignment.
"I want you to catch those Mario Brothers and the Princesses. We need them out of the way. We need them ALIVE, as well" said Bowser.
"Aaaw, Bowser Baby, you take all the fun out of it" said Rod. "Alright we will bring them back alive!"
"You better hope you do" said Dark Mario. "Do not come back with out them or you will be punished!"
Rod and Reel didn't like Dark Mario as much, because of his attitude mostly. Rod wished that he could give him a piece of his mind, but he wasn't about to try it. Soon the Bounty Hunters were sent off by Bowser, and so the hunt begins.
Toad had decided that today he would talk to Toadette again and ask her to be his girlfriend. Toad was so ready that he didn't walk to where she was, he ran there instead!
"Hey Toadette!" said Toad.
"Hi Toad! What is it?" said Toadette.
"I was wondering if…" Toad said as he was interrupted.
"Hey Baby, we are going to be late" said another mushroom male to Toadette.
"Toad, I want you to meet my boyfriend, Curtis!" said Toadette!
"Boyfriend?" thought Toad in his mind. "Nice to meet you Turdis, uh I mean Curtis."
"Nice to meet you too Toad" said Curtis. "We got to go get the banquet ready for Peach and Daisy."
"Alright, I'll see you later Toad" said Toadette.
"Bye!" said Toad. "Curtis? More like TURDIS! Ha Ha Ha!" whispered Toad to himself.
Later that night, the banquet was on and Peach and Daisy were very flattered. There was dancing, food, games, prizes, and most importantly music!
"Isn't this great Toad?" said Daisy.
"Yeah….great" said Toad.
"What's wrong Toad?" said Daisy.
"Huh? Oh nothing Daisy!" said Toad.
The band that was there, was playing the original hit Mario theme song in the background. Toad had just thought of an idea!
"Excuse me, can I sing something next?" said Toad to the stage manager.
"Sure, you can go next, Sir Toad" said the manager.
"This will get her attention for sure!" said Toad to himself.
The curtains opened up and Toad began to sing, "You are so Beautiful". Toad didn't hardly hit any of the notes right, and it sounded horrible. But he didn't think so. After the song, he went to Toadette to talk to her again, this time without the support of her boyfriend, Curtis.
"I know what, you are trying to do chump! Many a guy has tried to take her from me, but it never works. You are never going on a date with her" said Curtis, showing his jerk side.
Toad knew that getting her to fall in love with him was going to take work. But he felt like he could do it. He loved her, and all Curtis seemed to care about as how he looked.
Mario and Luigi continued their training. After the first day, they had learned how to wield a Laser Sword. Next on the list was the Super Mega Fire Ball Attack.
"Luigi throw me a fireball" said Randolf. Luigi threw him a fireball and he caught it.
"Now watch as I let it float in the air while swinging my arms back and put it in a firing strike position" said Randolf as he demonstrated the technique to Mario and Luigi. "Then you push the strike and watch the Fireball shoot out of your hand, like a laser canon!, You must have someone throw you a fireball if you have no fire powers."
Mario and Luigi both tried it and both learned it pretty fast. Both were wondering just how easy the training was.
"Don't worry, it isn't all this easy" said Randolf. "Training will get tough!"
Mario and Luigi continued to work on their SMFBAs, while Randolf turned his attention to Yoshi and Tuigi.
"Why do and him not get along?" said Randolf.
"Because he is stupid, and a cheap clone of Luigi!" said Yoshi.
"I'm not stupid! I'm a straight A student in Juliard! Duh huh huh!" said Tuigi as he continued to be an idiot.
"Tuigi is a very different person. You must treat him like a real person, and you will get real results" said Randolf to Yoshi.
Yoshi pondered on this for a while and maybe Randolf was right, maybe if he could handle it, he could help Tuigi.
"Alright Tuigi, do you want to go watch the fish swim or something?" said Yoshi.
"SUSHI FISHIES!" said Tuigi. "Fishie, Fishie, Fishie, I want a FISHIE!"
"Ugh! Are you sure about…." Said Yoshi as he turns around to find Randolf had already vanished. "Oh no!" said Yoshi.
"Got any 7s?" asked Waluigi.
"Nope, GO FISH" said Wario.
Wario and Waluigi are trying to get Toadsworth to play with them, but he doesn't want to play at the moment. Being behind bars in your enemies' lair was starting to suck!
Just then, Black Yoshi came in to feed them. "Here you go, you filthy doofuses!" said Black Yoshi as he handed them their food and walked out.
"You know, I could go for a rescue party right now!" said Wario.
"Me too" said Dr. Toadsworth. He had finally talked after being quiet most of the day.
Rod and Reel were getting close to finding the Princesses. They had followed their tire marks through the forest, and gaining ground on them. It was only a matter of time before they found the mushroom village.
"We are getting closer every second, boss!" said Reel.
"I know that Reel! We just need to devise a plan to catch them when we find them" said Rod.
"We are going to be rich!" said Reel.
Things look like they are about to get bad for the Princesses and the people of the Mushroom Village. Those bounty hunters are right on their trails! What will Mario and Luigi learn next? Find out everything in the next Chapter!
