AN: I would like to thank everyone for the awesome and positive reviews. *Day Dreamer201*- I did the cheese theme because it went with the whole food palace theme, and I like how I was able to put in Mouser as the guardian. If the cheese theme were based off of mario kart super circuit's cheese land, I would've had the boss be a giant cheese yoshi sphinx head lolz. *Magikoopa981*- Thanks for the review :) I am trying to make sure my narrative is better because if you read my Wario's Awakening story, my first fanfic, the narrative is awful. So hopefully this time around it will be better. I won't be able to give a shoutout to ALL my reviews, but I will try to answer any questions or concerns you have. Anyway, BACK TO ADVENTURE!
Chapter 4
The hair on Mario's mustache already froze because of the intense coldness of the new area they were in. Mario crossed his arms, "Its freezing in here!" He said with a shiver traveling down his spine. "What's up with all the meat? Does Bowser really eat this much?" He looked around the room, huge pieces of meat were hanging above the ceiling. They were juicy looking T-bones, unfortunately raw and unedible. Other than that, the meat was unusually large, as if it was for some sort of beast. The room held containers of vanilla and chocolate ice cream-giant size.
Luigi looked around the room, "I'm surprised I haven't turned into a popsicle yet." He said as he walked around the room with Mario, there eyes meeting with every nook and cranny of the freezer. There were three doors; one on the left, right, and one in the north of the room. The one in the north required two keys to go through, so the Mario bros decided to take the door on the left. The room had large icicles on the ground, with a small icy platform in the back of the room. Luigi saw something sparkle on the platform, "Mario! Is that a key?" His eyes focused on the small blue key.
Mario put his hand under his chin and said, "It looks like a key to the door up front. How about iI swing you over there? You know, swing bros?" He said, moving towards Luigi and sticking his hands out in front of him.
Luigi reluctantly moved closer and grabbed Mario's hands, "You'd better not throw me into the wall, Mario." His face looked serious.
Mario, annoyed, replied, "Ok...ok...its not like it's going to happen again...geez. Trust me a little ok?" With that being said, Mario began to whirl Luigi around. Faster and faster, Mario finally released Luigi into the air. He flew like a rocket towards the icy platform ahead.
Landing on the platform perfectly, Luigi made his way over to the key and picked it up from the cold ice. "The key is really cold, I'm going to put it in my pocket so I don't freeze my hands off…"
"Luigi! Come on back! Get the key and let's go!" Mario shouted.
"Sheesh, could you yell any louder Mario?" Luigi thought, giving Mario a look of disgust. He looked around, there was no way he could jump that far. "How in the Mushroom Kingdom am I going to get back? Hang on a minute, there's some glass on top of these icicles, I wonder if it's a path?" Luigi put his thoughts away and carefully stepped on the glass. It supported his weight. "Phew, I thought it would crack." He thought as he kept walking across the glass path. The glass was reflecting the very little light in the room. The ice on the walls glowed and sparkled, leaving long strands of light across the room. Luigi was almost there to the other side.
"Come on, Weegee! It's time to stop being the amazing Goombini and quit levitating across the icicles!" Mario yelled towards Luigi who was still carefully making his way across. Luigi broke out of his concentration and looked up towards Mario, "I'm not a magician Mario! This is a glass path that leads to the other side of the- woah!" Luigi said, nearly slipping off the path, his arms waving wildly in circles to keep his balance in check. Luigi barely kept his balance after he was able to get his foot back on the path. "D-don't distract me Mario! I could lose a life here!" He shouted towards the now closer red plumber.
"I could lose a life here…" Mario mumbled, mocking Luigi's last sentence. "Who cares Luigi! Hurry up! I'm freezing!"
"Ok! Gosh, you're so selfish!" Luigi yelled back, quickly making his way to the end of the path. Now back on solid ice, the bros made there way out of the room and ran over to the door on the left. "I hope there is another key in there!" Luigi said while running out of breath. They finally reached the door and opened it. Surprise. A huge swarm of buzzy beetles met the bros eyes. There were all different kinds; spikey, flying, and ground. "M-Mario….Let's get outta here!" Luigi shrieked, running for the exit. Mario didn't even move, his cowardly brother ran outside leaving Mario to pick up the slack.
"Unlike my brother, I'm not afraid of a fight, and especially not you guys." Mario ran towards the swarm, he slid across the ice, hitting at least a dozen of the ground ones along the way. He reached the end of the room and picked up one of the buzzy beetles. "Time for some bowling!" Mario said, chucking the enemy at its other allies. One by one, they all kept getting knocked down by their own ally. The enemy skidded into the wall and ricocheted hitting one last enemy before slowing to a stop. "Now that's what I call a strike! Hahaha! Luigi is missing out!" Mario jumped forward and landed on a red parabeetle, and then several more in a row until they were turned into ground ones. Finally for the finishing strike, Mario took out his hammer, and got ready to pound it against the ground to create a shockwave. Mario's hammer swung back, ready to plummet towards the ice. Just then, a green missile rocketed past Mario, nearly making him spin at least 100 times. The missile demolished the row of ground beetles, leaving the room empty, but with a chest that appeared moments later. Mario finally regained control of his spinning body and looked to see what happened. Luigi decided to join the brawl and landed his finishing blow. "Luigi! Those were mine!" Mario yelled.
Luigi just turned around and replied, "Hey, I gotta have some the action too right?" A smirk formed on his face.
Mario put on a sad face and began to pout all the way outside of the room. "Mario! Really? Way to act like a baby for the readers! Yeah! I mean you who's sitting in front of their computer reading this. Mario's being ridiculous right?" Luigi said, looking up towards the ceiling. He then walked over to the chest, opened it, and grabbed the last key. After that, he walked out of the room and met up with his brother in front of the locked door. "Alright Mario, I got the keys. When we go into that room, no matter what we face or what the circumstances are; I'll let you get the final blow ok?"
Mario smiled at him, his face of frustration and anger almost completely gone from his face, "Thanks Luigi, you're the best brother ever." Mario walked over to him and gave a nice warm friendly hug. The hug lasted for a few seconds, but felt like hours. Once Luigi broke the hug, he turned to the door and inserted the two keys into the keyholes(no sexual pun intended). The door opened by itself, a white eerie mist floated out of the black abyss the door instills. "Ready to go, Luigi?"
"Ready than I'll ever be Mario." Luigi replied, with a determined expression on his face.
"Alright then, Letsa Go!" Mario yelled.
"Oke Doke!" Luigi shouted afterwards.
AN: What do you think the boss is going to be? If there is one, I mean. Once again, I can't thank everyone enough for the wonderful reviews :) I thought this story would go unnoticed for 90 days XD. I am thinking of starting a new one shot mini series. It will feature one nintendo character's adventures. If I don't update in a little while for this story, then I am working on the mini series. I am going to switch off between the mini series and this story so make sure to check out both. Now that this chapter is finished, I am going to work on the mini series. I really hope you guys enjoyed this and I hope you enjoy my future works as well. See ya! :D
