Here's the next chapter! I hope you enjoy it. Two things I want to note here: First, this chapter was heavily inspired by the Amusement Park scene in "Despicable Me" and the Spongebob episode Roller Cowards. Second, Two characters make a guest appearance. (HINT: One is a psychic hedgehog, the other always says "Ciao!')
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"Wow, It's so cool!" yelled Aryll excitedly as she surveyed the Amusement Park. It had undergone huge renovations since the last time Mario was here. The Ferris Wheel and teacup rides were still intact, but the park had added new rides. It now had bumper cars, throwing games, and the newest addition: The Hurlinator. The Hurlinator was a massive roller coaster ride. Unlike your regular coasters that go up, down, and around. The Hurlinator goes up, down, around, inside, outside, zigzag, spiral, in there, out there, anywhere, and everywhere. Put simply, there's a slim chance anyone could ride it without throwing up.
"Mamma Mia, this place has-a really changed since-a I was-a here." Mario said astonished.
"It's too colorful for my tastes." Samus said flatly.
"There are so many rides, I don't know which to choose!" Toon shouted.
"I say we should split up." Tetra suggested.
"Oh, there's no need for that." a voice spoke.
"It can't-a be." Mario said as he and the others turned their heads towards the source of the voice: a person dressed as a jester. His overall appearance was nothing short of bizzare. He wore a purple and yellow striped jester's hat with diamond shaped baubles on the end of the horns. His face resembled the traditional theatre Comedy Mask and was split in two colors; one side was white with a black eye, the other black with a yellow eye. His cloak also had purple and yellow stripes and wore black gloves on his hands. He wore black, baggy "pie-catcher" pants and black curly toed shoes. He was the same size as Mario.
"And just who the hell are you?" Samus asked the stranger.
"I am Master of dimensions... Pleaser of crowds... I am... Dimentio!" the man replied with much aplomb. "But I must say though; in my wildest dreams I never thought I would see you again, Mario."
"What are you-a doing here, Dimentio?" Mario asked with obvious distrust. He had known Dimentio as a vicious psychopath, and was ready to attack him if he even looked at the gang wrong.
"Please here me out for a second." Dimentio requested, putting up his hands as a sign of peace. "I know you don't trust me, and I've done nothing to earn that trust. I've hurt so many people. But after I managed to survive the Chaos Heart incident, I wandered around, thinking back over the last years of my life and deciding that being a villain gained me nothing. So from that moment on, I vowed to turn over a new leaf! And that's when I was drawn to the siren call of the stage. I had found my true calling: Acting in the Theatre! But alas, acting careers require money so I applied for a job here until I had enough money to jumpstart my new career and life. I know it's hard to believe, but trust me when I say I really want to change."
"Well, to be honest, he doesn't look dangerous." Toon said.
Mario hesitated for a few moments, then said, "I suppose if-a Bowser could-a change his ways-a, maybe you can-a too."
"Oh my gosh!" Yelled Aryll.
"What is it sis?" Toon asked, drawing the Master Sword.
"Look!" she said, pointing toward a stand. It was a game where you threw balls at the moving target. But it wasn't the game that excited her, It was the doll she was looking at. It was a stuffed animal in the shape of a seagull, an animal which Aryll simply adored. Back at Outset, Aryll had a private place that she called her lookout where she would play with the seagulls all day. In fact, she had more seagull friends than human friends.
"Can I have it? Can I have it? Can I have it? Please Big Brother?" Aryll asked Toon, hopping up and down excitedly.
"Sure, if you can win the game." Toon replied with a smile.
Aryll, with Toon's help, hopped on the stand and threw ball after ball at the moving target. But alas, she ended up missing each and every shot. "Big Brother!" she whined. "I can't hit it! Could you do it for me?"
"Sure." Toon replied as he grabbed the ball. He threw one ball, but missed by an inch. The next shot he threw managed to hit the target. "Well I won the prize." he said.
"I'm afraid not." Dimentio said. "In order to win the game, you have to knock the target down. You hit the target but didn't knock it down, so you don't win." Aryll and Toon had disappointed looks on their faces. "Chin up my friends! I'm sure you'll win if you tried harder."
"My turn." Samus said out of the blue.
"Samus, you want to try?" Pit asked astonished
"No, I just want to stand here twiddling my thumbs. Yes I want to try!" She said with obvious sarcasm. "You guys might want to stand back."
And with that, the pink marks on her Zero Suit began to glow as her Power Suit began to materialize around her. Once done, she aimed her arm Cannon at the target stand and began charging power. "Bang!" she said as a charged shot came out. It traveled straight for the target and then exploded on impact, destroying not only the target, but the entire stand! Luckily, the seagull doll was the only part of the stand that wasn't reduced to a smoldering pile of ash. She then dematerialized her Power Suit before grabbing the doll and brushed off whatever dirt it may have attracted before giving it to Aryll.
"Thank you Miss Aran!" Aryll said.
"Sorry about the stand, Dimentio." Samus said.
"That's okay, watch." he replied, snapping his fingers. And with that, the stand instantly repaired itself. It looked as though it was never destroyed at all.
"I hope you all enjoy your stay. And Samus, in the future, try not to be so cavalier when playing games." Dimentio said as he vanished.
"So, now that that's all said and done, how do we solve the ride problem?" Samus asked with impatience.
"We'll just go with Tetra's suggestion." Toon replied. "We'll split up and try some of the smaller rides first, and we'll save the Hurlinator for last since that looks like a ride that everyone should go on together.
"Okay!" the others shouted in unison.
And that's how they spent their day. Aryll, Ness, and Lucas rode the bumper cars. Toon and Tetra went to the Tunnel of Love. Mario, Pit, and Red went on the teacup ride. Samus, who opted not to go on any ride, sat on the bench and took a nap. After they rode on the smaller rides, they all went on the Hurlinator, which did exactly as it was advertised. When they got off the ride, everyone was extremely dizzy. Samus was so dizzy that her face literally turned green. She ran to the nearest trash can and vomited.
But just as they were going to leave, a silver hedgehog ran towards them. It was Silver, a hedgehog with psychic powers like Ness and Lucas, and one of Sonic's friends.
"Hey guys! I need your help quick!" the hedgehog shouted.
"What's the trouble?" Samus asked.
"No time to explain. Just follow me to the Plaza pronto!" He replied as he left, with the gang in pursuit.
Another chapter down! Next one will be up tommorow.
