The Greatest Enemy: A Super Mario Fanfiction
Chapter 4: Hoist by his Own Petard
Mario, Luigi, and Peach all walked along the fluffy white clouds that made up the sky land of Meringue Clouds. Mario and Luigi were still upset with each other, but they walked in silence along the clouds as plenty of creatures like Paragoombas, Parabeetles, and Toads passed by. They continued to walk in silence until Mario spoke up,
"So, how much longer are we going to walk in silence?"
Nobody answered him.
"No, seriously, I am really starting to get bored out of my wits here. We still have a ways to go before we get to the vine that leads us to Soda Jungle. When are either of you going to start talking again?" Mario asked.
Luigi didn't respond while Peach said in a cheerful voice.
"My my, look at the weather today! The clouds are white, it is pretty warm, the sun is out…"
Mario and Luigi suddenly froze. Luigi especially looked very concerned.
"Um, Princess, say that last part again," he said meekly.
"What? That the sun is…"
"THE SUN!" Mario and Luigi both screamed.
And then the Sun did a dive bomb towards the trio as they looked on, terrified.
Meanwhile, hiding behind a cloud, Jerry and Emma were watching the trio walk.
"So, Emma, here is the plan," Jerry started,
"I called in the Angry Sun just in case we failed back there. We are going to wait for him to attack the Mario Bros. and Peach before we swoop in and kidnap one of the three. Got it?"
"Mhm, yes," Emma said absentmindedly.
Jerry turned around,
"Emma, did you listen to a word I just said?"
"Nope," Emma responded cheerfully.
Jerry sighed as he fiddled with his flower.
"Just attack them when I say go, okay?"
"Okay," Emma responded with that same cheerful accent.
Soon enough, the Mario Bros. and Peach stopped walking and screamed,
"THE SUN!" before the Angry Sun swooped down with its angry facade and attempted to burn any of the three alive.
"GO GO GO!" Jerry shouted
Emma then threw a net on him, and Jerry just looked confused.
"What? You said go, and I got ready to throw," she said blankly to him.
Jerry sighed angrily and shotued,
"Just go and attack them!"
And with that, another huge fight scene occurred with the Angry Sun, Jerry, and Emma fighting Mario, Luigi, and Peach.
"Geez! Why can't we ever catch a break!" Mario screamed.
"Because you attract all the attention," Luigi mumbled.
"Luigi!" Mario screamed at him.
"What? It's pretty true…" Luigi mumbled back.
Mario got really annoyed but instead focused his anger on the three opponents in front of him. This fight was much harder as there were three opponents for the trio to face instead of two. This time, Luigi fought Jerry, Peach fought Emma, and Mario fought the Angry Sun.
Jerry attempted to ram Luigi but Luigi took a page from Peach's book and jumped over Jerry. However, Jerry noticed this and when he was under Luigi. He stood up on some of his legs and hit Luigi when he was coming back down, which then caused Luigi to fall over and moan in pain. Jerry snickered,
"Is that all you got, Player 2?"
Meanwhile, Mario was busy fighting the flaming Angry Sun. Mario knew that he couldn't defeat the Angry Sun easily so he dodged the Angry Sun's dive bombs repeatedly while searching his pockets for a good item. One time, the Angry Sun barely touched Mario's overalls and they caught fire, surprising Mario. He screamed as he tried to run around and put out the fire while he accidentally tripped over Luigi, who was still down. Both Mario Bros. groaned in pain even though Mario's tiny flame had been put out. The Angry Sun and Jerry both laughed hysterically as they looked upon the Mario Bros, both of whom were laying on the ground.
At the same time, Peach was battling Emma with her frying pan while Emma dodged and looked around the environment she was in. She saw a Winged ? Block flying by her and ran towards it jumping and hitting it with her head. She cringed in pain for a second before grabbing the item that came out of the block, a POW Block. She flashed an evil smile at Peach, who didn't notice the POW Block before she threw the POW Block on the cloud. The ground shook as Peach and Jerry (who was still laughing) fell over from the shockwave that just shook the cloud. Since the cloud wasn't very stable as a platform, it broke apart as everyone but the Angry Sun fell towards the ground below. Mario and Luigi were scared out of their wits as they both grabbed Super Acorns from their pockets and transformed into their Flying Squirrel forms to safely glide down. Peach meanwhile used her special abilities to float down to the ground below while Jerry and Emma just landed on another cloud. Mario and Luigi both floated down safely and Mario really got angry.
"Luigi!" he screamed, "What was that? You got destroyed by a caterpillar with a flower on its face!"
Luigi looked equally as annoyed,
"Oh yeah, well at least I didn't have the hubris to take on the sun of all things."
Mario and Luigi locked eyes and rubbed their big noses against each other even getting in a fighting formation before a fishing hook caught one of Luigi's squirrel arms that he used to glide. Luigi twitched a little bit as he moved his hand to find the hook before it hoisted him up. Mario screamed, waved his hands around and looked up as Emma reeled up the fishing hook from her cloud with an evil grin. When Luigi (who was terrified beyond belief at this point) was up at the cloud, she bumped into him making him lose his squirrel suit and knocking him unconscious.
Mario and Peach could only watch in horror as Jerry and Emma laughed at them and ran along the cloud they were on with Jerry holding Luigi while the Angry Sun simply flew away.
A/N: Oh no! Luigi has been captured by Jerry and Emma! How will Luigi escape? Well, you shall find out throughout the story as Luigi's capture is pretty central to the unfolding mystery going on around the trio of heroes. Also, I know that we have had two action sequences for the last two chapters, but I won't be putting action in every chapter. Finally, please review this story, as I really want pointers on my writing so that I can get better. Thanks readers! :)
