Chapter Four
Wario's Wishmaker
Being ordered to grant wishes by someone like Wario made Erazor Djinn annoyed. "Hehehe...I have no interest in granting wishes to the likes of you," growled Erazor Djinn, but deep down he knew that he could not break free of the lamp's pull. "Grrr...I still need a lot more power until I'm finally free forever. I guess for now, I'll use the energy from these morons wishes to restore mine."
"Hey...Who are you calling a moron?" yelped Waluigi shaking his bony fist at Erazor Djinn.
Wario immediately whacked Waluigi with his fist. "Shut up, stupid! You know that genies are all uppity. I don't care what he calls me, all he need from him is to make me filthy stinkin' rich!"
Erazor Djinn hated granting wishes more than anything, but he needed the negative energy of selfish wishes to get powerful. "Hmph. You only get three wishes, so you better not mess it up fat boy. I do have one word of warning, though. After you complete your third wish, you'll get you what you deserve." he then smirked
The extremely greedy somewhat evil plumber in yellow overalls thought all about his selfish desires. "Whatever!" he chuckled. "Now, listen up, because I'm not repeating myself. First, I wish me and String Bean had a giant castle with as much gold as freakin' possible," Wario laughed cracking his knuckles. "I want my castle to be twice as big as Princess Peach's, it should also have a swimming pool filled with liquid gold."
A sinister smirked appeared on Erazor Djinn's face thinking that he could drain tons of negative energy from these two plumbers. "Hehehe, your selfish wish is my command." Suddenly a giant mansion appeared not too far from the outskirts of the Mushroom Kingdom. "Here's your castle, you fat moron."
Erazor Djinn absorbed the negative energy from Wario's wish, but he was in for a real surprise Wario was not a very grateful person.
"Hmm...Its not bad, but I've seen better," muttered Wario walking around his brand new palace, but the greedy plumber did not seem too pleased if you asked me.
Erazor Djinn then turned toward Wario gritting his teeth. "WHAT?! How dare you mortal?! I granted your petty wish and you dare insult me?"
However Waluigi seemed grateful as he flopped onto the couch. "Hey, Wario? I like this place, it'll be the perfect pad to devise a plan to destroy Mario."
Wario wasn't letting this thing about their mansion go. "Shut up, Toothpick, I need to live like a king, not like some sort of millionaire! This is SO unacceptable."
"Not that I care, but why are you two so obsessed with this Mario fellow?" asked Erazor Djinn while filing his fingernails.
Waluigi rubbed his temple in frustration, you never ask Wario why he hated Mario. "Grrrr...Mario is always so damned perky I hate him," Wario growled pulling out his hair. "I HATE HIM."
"Wario doesn't need a reason to hate Mario, he just does," Waluigi then groaned.
"You two are real morons I hope you know that. Once I get free I'll crush you two like the worms you truly are," Erazor Djinn muttered coldly.
Waluigi then looked over at Wario seemingly ignoring Djinn's threats. "So Wario, what's the next plan?"
Wario then placed his hands on his stubby chin thinking aloud. "Next, I should probably challenge Mario to a fight, but first I need to make sure I have the upper hand."
"Why don't you simply wish your nemesis away?" asked Erazor already fed up with the incompetent Wario Bros. "...You see, that's why I hate working with idiots."
Meanwhile somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom
Unbeknownst to our heroes, the Koopa King Bowser had overheard their entire conversation from the hilltop. "Grahahaha...I could use those rings to force that genie to grant me thousands of wishes and Princess Peach will be mine," chuckled the dastardly Bowser putting his binoculars away.
The Koopatrol that was supposed to guard Bowser then asked. "Shall I bring the Klown Car around sire?"
"Yea...Go get it and once we return to the castle I'll have Kammy and Kamek whip up some spell to help us locate those rings," Bowser laughed loudly. The Koopatrol then flew over the Klown Car, so he and Bowser could head back to the castle and devise an evil plan.
Sonic stretched out chuckling. "So where is Erazor Djinn anyway?"
Despite hailing from the future Silver really didn't know more than Sonic or Shadow. "Uh, I...I don't know Sonic," sighed Silver shrugging, but using Sonic's optimism he then smiled. "But if we look for the World Rings I'm sure we'll bump into Erazor Djinn."
It was obvious Mario was the groups leader and he immediately took charge. "I think we could cover more ground if we split up," Mario suggested to the group. "Luigi you and Sonic could go look for information on these World Rings while the rest of us go look for Erazor Djinn."
"Uh...Ma...Mario why should I find any information on those rings?" asked Luigi shivering.
Shadow couldn't believe that Silver and Sonic were hanging on everyone of Mario's words. "This is ridiculous why should we do anything an overweight plumber says?"
"Do you have a better suggestion Shadow? Its not like we know the landscape of this dimension we could get lost easily," Silver sighed irritating Shadow.
Mario then looked toward his cowering brother Luigi and smiled. "Well I thought it would be easier for you to go to a library than fight some all powerful genie bent on world domination, but if you wanna switch I'm game."
The thought of fighting any monster wasn't good for Luigi and he cried. "Oh, no I'll go to the library Mario."
"Uh...Personally I enjoy fighting more than books, but this is really important so where is this library located Luigi," Sonic shrugged as he then followed behind Luigi heading out of Princess Peach's castle.
Luigi turned around forgetting that someone was following behind him. "Oh...The library is in Petal Meadows I really like that place it's full of Koopas, but they make the best taffy around."
Sonic slightly remembered something about fighting some turtles. "You mean like the Koopa Bros. or something?"
"Oh the Koopa Bros. are Koopas, but they're villains. Mayor Krumps and the Petal Meadow Koopas are good guys like us," chortled Luigi. "But the Koopa Clan does have a vast knowledge of everything in their library, so if it isn't there then no one would have it."
Luigi and Sonic finally made it to Petal Meadow. Fresh cut flowers surrounded the borders of Petal Meadows a beautiful city ran by Koopas.
"Let's head for the library. Professor Frankly should be there, he runs the place." Luigi muttered trying to take his mind off the delicious taffy that Koopie Koo made. "He's an Accredited Teacher from Goom U, but he's here studying all types of treasures."
Before Luigi could reach the library, Krumps, the Mayor of Petal Meadow, walked toward him. "Hey aren't you Murphy's little brother Ludwig?"
Luigi then chortled while shaking Mayor Krumps' shriveled up hand. "Uh...sir my brother is Mario and my name is Luigi. You've got to forgive Krumps, Sonic he's a bit senile."
Sonic scratched around inside his ears yawning. "C'mon Luigi the faster we find that book, the faster I can get back to fighting monsters."
Mayor Krump large beard then muffled his voice. "Ludwig if you're looking for the library old man Frankly runs it."
Luigi tried really hard to be nice to the doddering old man, but Sonic's impatience was getting the best of him. "C'mon Luigi let's get out of here the library is awaiting us," Sonic groaned while grabbing Luigi's arm and running off at high speeds.
Sonic ran across the Petal Meadow landscape looking for this building, but he immediately stopped in front of a gigantic cobble building that was labeled "Petal Meadows Library of Everything" while smirking. "So this must be the place I knew I would find it."
Luigi danced around dizzy after Sonic let go of his hand. "Hmmm...I guess we're here."
Much to Luigi's surprise, Professor Frankly awaited them outside the library. "Ahh...Mr. Luigi you're here and you've brought...I presume Sonic the Hedgehog with you."
"How did you know we were coming?" Luigi asked a bit taken aback.
Professor Frankly was a Goomba of vast knowledge and he was considered the best and the brightest of all Mushroom Kingdom citizens. "Ah...Master Mario informed me of your quest for knowledge," Professor Frankly snickered brightly.
"So, did Mario tell you that we were interested in any information on the World Rings?" asked Luigi surprised by Frankly's vast insight.
"Yes, in deedy. Actually I've got more than that, Luigi. I've got one of those World Rings in the library," chuckled Frankly waddling back into the library.
Sonic was stunned speechless, how could a Goomba like Professor Frankly find a World Ring so effortlessly and he then cried. "He's got a World Ring?!"
Luigi and Sonic then walked into the enormous building behind the Goomba where Sonic saw white pillar holding the building and large books lining each wall. "Whoa this place could give a guy a splitting headache," muttered Sonic following Frankly over to a bookshelf.
Unbeknownst to our heroes four punk Koopas were ease dropping on Luigi, Sonic, and Professor Frankly. "Hehehe...With the Koopa Bros. being out of the way, then us the Daft Punk Koopa will be the raddest team around," snickered Brick, the orange Koopa Troopa. "Bowser will have no choice, but to reinstate us as his top minions dude."
"Yo B-Dawg it's for reals. We gon' be da best," chuckled Boomer, the blue Koopa Troopa, while polishing his giant gold chain.
Butch, the purple Koopa Troopa, then placed his hands on his cheek while rearranging his glasses muttering. "Hmmm...If I can anticipate the trajectory of our mission I'm hundred percent certain that we'll come out on top."
Boomer looked over Brick who just climbed down from the windowsill asking. "Uh...Dawg if we gon' beat da Koopa Bros. don't we need one mo' memba?"
"Duh? We do have a fourth member its our sis Bridgette. She's in there now doing a little undercover snooping," Brick then laughed.
Bridgette, a girl Koopa Troopa with a pink shell, was inside the library also looking up information on the World Ring while also keeping an eye on Sonic, Luigi, and especially Professor Frankly. "I'm watching you and once you make a move Frankly I'll cut you throat," Bridgette muttered pulling throwing needles from her shell.
Suddenly a tiny radio came on and Boomer's voice broadcasted over it: Yo, Bridge-Dawg chill out wit dat. Dis is suppose to be just a stakeout ya know I mean aight."
