Chapter 4: The Wishes
The swirl of colors were getting to the Goomba Bros, and even Francis too. Occasionally, Blue got dizzy from the colors, but Red comforted him.
"Well, we saved the mansion." Red said.
"Yeah, but remember what Christy said. There are many more dimensions to save." Red said.
"Plus, we're stuck with that…NERD."
Blue motioned toward Francis, who was looking at a geeky magazine.
"True, but I hope reality has a reason for him to be here." Red said.
"Let's hope not." Blue said. "Also, heads up!"
He motions to a light at the end of the tunnel, just like last time.
"Better brace ourselves." Red advised.
When they got shrouded in light, the Goomba Bros were ready. However, they didn't prepare their landing. Blue landed on Red, and Francis landed on both of them.
"Not again!" Red exclaimed, pushing Francis and Blue off of him. Once everyone was off each other, the Goomba Bros and Francis decided to look at where they were dropped off. It appeared to be some sort of center room, with a red jewel in the middle. The curtains were pitch dark, and so was most of everything in the room.
"Wow, pretty jewel." Francis said, hypnotized by it's beauty. He started to head toward it.
"Don't touch it!"
The three turn around and notice it was a blonde haired girl with a pink dress. Next to her was a boy, but he looked like a shape of a star. He also had blue tips on the end of his blonde hair.
"Why? It's so shiny, and that makes it HIIIIII-TECHNICALLLLLL!" Francis exclaimed with shines in his eyes.
"You three things have no idea what that is do you?" the star boy said.
The Goomba Bros and Francis looked at each other, then shook their heads.
"I expected much from things that fell out of nowhere." the blonde haired girl said. "It's known as the Wish Ruby. Whoever touches it gets three wishes, and we don't like others to touch it."
The Goomba Bros. and Francis frowned, knowing they could go back home with just a simple wish.
"By the way, we saw you guys pop out of nowhere. Who are you?" the star kid asked.
The Goomba Bros then proceed to tell them who they were, just like the others. The blonde haired girl's name was Peach, and the star boy's was Perry. They revealed they just had an epic battle with an evil Yoshi named Chaos, and were just about to leave the place, until they appeared.
"Sorry about interrupting you people leaving, but we're looking for a guy named the Dark Writer. Did you see him?" Blue asked.
"Sorry, but we don't know who you're talking about." Peach said.
"Besides, all is safe here!" Perry said. "You guys should probably forget about this Dark Writer here, everything is safe in this dimension!"
The Goomba Bros were skeptic with that. How could these two be so cheery as the Dark Writer could strike at any moment?
"Um, okay. I guess this place is safe." Blue said, heading towards the exit. As he was about to leave, Red stopped him.
"I wouldn't be so sure!" Red exclaimed. He then started to pull out something…
"What are you doing?" Perry asked.
"Put that away!" Peach commanded.
"SHOOTING STAR!" Red exclaimed, using the item. Just then, tons of shooting stars flooded the area, all of them hitting Peach and Perry.
Then something strange was happening to them. They started to turn various shades of blue, and started to lose their shape. They both formed into bluish blobs, and combined into one. Eyes then popped out of the bluish mess.
"I knew you weren't the real deal!" Red exclaimed.
"But how?" Francis asked.
"I saw a little shade of blue on Peach's dress, and Perry had various blue spots on his body." Red explained.
The bluish blob heard this, and grew angry.
"I knew I should have checked over my shape shifting!" it said.
"Who are you?" Blue asked in a firm voice.
"If you must know, my name is Amemnoid, the greatest shape shifter around!" it said.
"What did you do to the real Peach and Perry?" Red asked.
"They locked them up. Besides, I decided that once you came to this dimension, I thought I could lure you away from the Wish Ruby!"
He started to go over to it.
"It is true, this ruby has the power to grant three wishes, and since the one named Peach used all of hers, the Dark Writer was able to take over this dimension easily! Now you're the only ones left in it's way!"
The Goomba Bros got into their fighting stances, while Francis started hiding.
"Itching for a fight, huh?" Amemnoid asked. "Well, the Dark Writer left me in charge of this place, so I guess it's my turn to take you out!"
Amemnoid goes up to the Wish Ruby, and touches it.
"For my first wish, I wish to own an army!"
Suddenly, tons of Mario enemies flood the room, all had angry looks on their faces.
"DESTROY THEM!"
The Goomba Bros had liitle time to react, as the enemies slowly came onto them. Amemnoid cackled.
"What do we do? We can't take out all of them!" Blue asked, dodging a headbonk from a nearby Goomba.
"I have one, but it might not work." Francis said from his hiding spot.
"SPILL IT OUT ALREADY!" Red exclaimed, dodging an oncoming hammer from a Hammer Bro.
"Just use this item!" Francis said, chucking some sort of item to Red. Luckily, no enemies grabbed it, and Red used the item.
"CATCH CARD SP!"
Suddenly, rectangles appeared around every enemy in the room, and after turning a few times, they were all turned into cards. Amemnoid was furious.
"You took out my army? I guess it's time for my second wish!"
It touches the ruby again.
"I wish for an invisible beast to assist me!"
After a few minutes, nothing happens.
"Looks like it didn't grant your wish!" Red exclaimed.
Just when he said that, a mysterious force hits him. Red staggers to his feet.
"I guess it got granted!" Amemnoid said.
Knowing not how to hit something that's invisible, the Goomba Bros move around aimlessly, while the force hits them again and again.
Just when it seems Amemnoid won, a ringtone goes off. Blue answers it, and Ken's face appeared.
"Hey guys!"
"Now's not a good time Ken!" Blue said, getting hit again.
"I see you're getting hit by an invisible force."
"Lucky guess?" Red asked, getting tripped.
"No, I saw you get hit." Ken said over the machine. "I know what to do to hit the monster."
"SPIT IT OUT THEN!" Blue yelled out, getting hit in the head.
"You need to turn invisible like the monster. When you're invisible, you'll be able to see it."
"Thanks for the info Ken." Blue said, hanging up. He gets Red over to him, and told him of a plan. Understanding it, Red nods.
The two then pull out an item for each of them.
"BOO SHEET!"
Both of them turn invisible, and then they were able to see the monster. It was an overgrown Piranha Plant with leafy legs.
"Dang it, I'm exposed!" it said.
The Goomba Bros then do something unexpected. Blue jumps off of Red, and crashes on the Piranha Plant with bone crushing force. The Piranha Plant wilts, meaning it's defeated. The Goomba Bros then turn non-invisible again.
"NOOOO!" Amemnoid exclaims. "That's it, I'll take you out myself!"
It touches the ruby again.
"I now wish for invincibility!"
As if on cue, Amemnoid turns into a rainbow of colors, then starts shining.
"Now you'll feel the wrath of the Dark Writer!" Amemnoid yells, transforming into a warrior with twin swords, ready to fight.
"Crap, now what?" Blue said, dodging a slash.
"I don't know!" Red said, dodging a swinging sword.
Meanwhile from the sidelines, Francis was watching the battle.
"Wow, this battle is SOOOOO HI-TECHNICALLLLL!" he exclaims. "I need a picture!"
He gets out his camera, and send a flash throughout the room due to the camera. Amemnoid seems to be the most effected.
"THAT FLASH HURTS MY EYES!" Amemnoid exclaims, shielding it's eyes. As he did this, the rainbow flashing stopped.
"Now's our chance!" Blue said. The both charged, and hit Amemnoid straight in the face. When they did that, Amemnoid turned back to it's original blobby self.
"Why must this happen? Dark Writer, forgive me!" Amemnoid exclaimed, running to the exit. On his way there, he dropped something.
"It's another crystal!" Red exclaimed, picking it up.
"Wow, it's heavy!"
"Maybe because it's yellow, idiot!" Blue said.
"What does that have to do with it being heavy?"
"I don't know, I just wanted to say that."
Red just rolls his eyes, and Francis comes out of his hiding place.
"We better find the prisoners." Red said.
"We're over here!"
The trio look over to notice all the people locked up, including the real Peach and Perry.
"I have the key. I picked it up because it looked pretty!" Francis said, giving the key to Blue.
Blue used the key to unlock the cell. All of the prisoners surrounded the Goomba Bros and Francis.
"Thanks for everything." Perry said.
"We overheard you talking about you being from another dimension, so I take it you're going to the next one?" Peach asked.
"You bet!" Blue exclaimed.
"By the way, the machine you have there, may I look at it?" Perry asked.
"You want our number? Sure!" Blue said.
After a few adjustments, Perry got his number in the machine.
"We wish you luck." Perry said.
While they talked, Red phoned Christy about a portal, and one popped up.
"We better get going." Red said. Red went the portal, while Blue was trying to get Francis inside.
"Let's go!"
"No way! I'm staying with the hot babe!"
Irritated, Blue shoves Francis inside, followed by himself.
Like Disco Mix, Amemnoid stood in front of the Dark Writer and his advisor.
"YOU FAILED TOO?" it said.
"Sorry, but those Goombas are tough! I thought I had them with the Wish Ruby, but they found their way past it!"
"No excuses! Guards!"
Two Koopatrols come in and put Amemnoid in a tube, so if it shape shifts, he still won't be able to get out.
"Put it with Disco Mix in the torture chamber!"
The Koopatrols obeyed, and carried Amemnoid to where Disco Mix was, in the torture chamber.
Then, the Dark Writer's Bob-omb advisor decided to speak up.
"Um, we still have hope, my lord. We have one commander left."
"You're right, but who shall he possess?"
"Well my lord, they always seem to call a girl to get them to another dimension. Maybe you can get him to possess her?"
"Good idea. Call Shadow to go possess her." the Dark Writer orders. His advisor obeys, and goes to get Shadow.
A few hours later, in another dimension…
Christy is in the Castle Hyrule library, researching more about the Dark Writer.
"Interesting. This may come in handy." she said to herself.
Then, she hears a sound. Although very faint, she still hears it.
"Alright, who's there?" she says, getting her book and into a fighting stance. "I'm not afraid to use this!"
She never sees the attack coming, for a dark energy completely covers her face. She tries to cast a spell to get it off, but it's too late. Her body get completely covered in darkness, and she found herself completely unable to control her body.
Shadow looks down at his new body, smirking once he saw it.
"The Goombas will never know what hit them!" he said to himself.
Yeah, I know the reviewer somewhat suggested it, but I thought it would be good to include it. Anyway, the storywriter still gets credited!
Also, I completely ran out of stories for the Goomba Bros to travel to, so make sure to review with a complete story so this story can continue!
Lastly, the story the Goomba Bros traveled to in this chapter was "The Wish Ruby" by Peach the Hedgehog.
