Chapter 6: The Koopa-Gunyips
(Close to the mouth of the volcano)
Bowser was looking through a telescope and saw Mario, Luigi, Ty, and Sly closing in on him and Boss Cass.
Bowser- Wendy has failed too. And now the Mario Brothers and that orange fuzz ball are too close to catching up to us!
Boss Cass- I think I have one idea that might work. Ty and those other damn mammals have these very powerful machines called Gunyips and lately, I've had my assistant, Carlos, create some of our own. Let's fit your last two Koopalings with them.
(Some time later at the mouth of the volcano)
Mario, Luigi, Ty, and Sly had arrived, but there was no sign of Bowser or Boss Cass. However, Ty and Sly saw something in the distance that made them very uneasy.
Mario- Hey, are you two alright?
Ty- I wish we were. That mountain is where Boss Cass set up is base when I first encountered him and stopped him from stealing the Mystic Talismans.
Sly- That was when I used to work for that son of a bitch and helped him do harm to the other Tasmanian Tigers! I hated that place!
Suddenly, two mechanical arms reached out of the mouth of the volcano and one grabbed hold of Luigi and the other grabbed to Sly. Luigi and Sly looked in the volcano and saw two of Bowser's Koopalings, Iggy and Lemmy Koopa, each driving a machine similar to the Gunyip Ty and Sly use and each one had grabbed hold of them.
Iggy- Look! I caught one!
Lemmy- I got one too!
Then Luigi and Sly were thrown into the volcano.
Mario- Luigi!
Ty- Sly!
Luckily, they landed on solid ground instead of lava. Luigi and Sly quickly got up and Luigi looked around.
Luigi- This is odd for a volcano.
Sly- The volcano here actually has a system of tunnels and caves. Because this volcano is dormant, the tunnels and caves actually make it a tourist attraction. Who were those two by the way?
Luigi- Iggy and Lemmy Koopa. They're the youngest of the Koopalings, but they're just as nasty as their siblings.
Then Iggy and Lemmy jumped down, still driving the Gunyips machines.
Sly- It seems the rumor of Boss Cass attempting to replicate our Gunyips was true and he gave his prototypes to these brats.
Luigi and Sly look up and saw Mario and Ty looking down from the mouth of the volcano.
Sly- You two go on ahead! Luigi and I will handle this!
Luigi- We will?!
Ty- But Sly…
Sly- I've already called for our Gunyips to help Luigi and me. You two go and save Princess Peach!
Mario and Ty reluctantly left Luigi and Sly in the volcano to face Iggy and Lemmy. Shortly after they left, two more Gunyip machines fell from the sky and landed near Sly and Luigi. Sly jumped into his Launcher Gunyip.
Sly- Luigi, you'll have to piolet Ty's Shadow Gunyip, mate!
Luigi- But I don't know how!
Sly- Sorry, but there's no time to teach you. You'll have to figure it out on your own.
Suddenly, Iggy and Lemmy had already grabbed hold of Sly.
Sly- Get off of me you little pricks!
Then Sly threw Lemmy off of him and that's when Lemmy noticed Luigi.
Lemmy- Hey Luigi, let's play squash the greenie weenie!
The Gunyip Lemmy was driving made a fist and tried to squash Luigi, but Luigi dodged and jumped into Ty's Shadow Gunyip. Luigi frantically looked at the controls and wondered what to do. Luigi saw Lemmy moving towards him and he pushed a button in panic. Then the Shadow Gunyip raised its left arm and punched Lemmy. Luigi was amazed that he just did that. He then pushed another button and the Shadow Gunyip lifted it's right leg and took a step. Then Luigi made the Shadow Gunyip move a few steps.
Luigi- I think I got the hang of this now.
Sly- That's great, mate! Now how about lending me a hand!
Luigi saw Sly struggling to keep Iggy from jamming a stalagmite into Sly's Launcher Gunyip. Luigi rushed over and knocked Iggy's Gunyip off of Sly's Launcher Gunyip. That was when Luigi saw a button he hadn't pressed yet that was labeled "Shadow Beam."
Sly- Luigi, not that button!
Too late. Luigi already pushed it and a laser beam was shot from the Shadow Gunyip's hand and it began blasting through everything and the caves in the volcano began caving in.
(At the foot of the Cass' Crest Mountain)
Mario and Ty turned around and saw part of the volcano cave in. They got worried. Ty pulled out a pair of binoculars and saw Luigi escaping the ruble with Sly hanging over his shoulder.
Ty- Thank goodness! They're safe.
Mario took a look through the binoculars.
Mario- But it looks like you and I are on our own now, Ty. Sly appears to have broken his leg and Luigi can't leave him all alone.
Ty- I guess we are, mate. Come on! Let's make Bowser and Boss Cass pay for everything they've done and get Princess Peach back!
