The Adventure of a Lifetime

It's Set

Peach screamed as Yves made contact with Corey. The seat of the wheelchair ripped, and Corey and Yves fell through. Their bodies pushed against the wheels, popping them off. One flew up and hit Rho in the chest. Rho fell back into a tree. Peach screamed again, causing Jerry to jerk his head in her direction. He popped his neck, and fell over in pain. Yves' legs and arms smashed into the rocks, and his head hit Corey in the stomach. Hard. Corey coughed up some puke and passed out. Peach screamed a third time and fainted. (BTW, Peach's screams sound just like Trixie Tang from The Fairly Odd Parents.)

"Hum, I wonder why Peach and the other four were screaming," said Toadsworth, "I guess I'll just check myself." He opened the castle door and started shaking at what he saw. One boy, who Toadsworth thought was Yves, was lying unconscious on top of Corey (who was also unconscious). Those two were lying on the ground on top of broken wheelchair parts. Another boy (I think that's Rho) was lying (guess what? Unconscious!…) against a tree with a wheelchair wheel at his chest. Jerry was lying beside Rho, with his head twisted at a 90° angle to what it should have been. And Peach had apparently fainted. He went inside to the clinic. "Toadsky, we have a big problem," he said, and lead Toadsky to the ruckus.

Peach opened her eyes to see Toadsworth, Toadsky, and a few wheelchair parts. "Toadsworth! Where are they?" she asked as Toadsworth approached her.

"Good! You're just fine. Toadsky and I just came to take you five to the clinic, but apparently you are good enough to stay out, eh? Capital!" he replied, and walked back to the castle. He went back to pick up some wheelchair parts and headed onward.

"Toadsworth, wait!" Peach said, running after him, "Is everyone okay?"

"Well, since Corey has had previous major wounds, I hooked him up to the monitor. Toadsky has gone inside to find three more monitors, eh? Well, we must go back to the clinic," Toadsworth replied.

Peach sighed, and said, "I'm going to go for a walk to ease my nerves. Trust me, I really need it." Toadsworth accepted, and entered the castle.

"Oh my god, my neck is sore," said Jerry, waking up. "Hey- what? I'm in the clinic!"

"Ah, Jerry. You appear in good shape. Is anything wrong?" Toadsky asked.

"No, my neck hurt earlier, but I feel good now. Where are the others?" Jerry responded.

"Peach is fine and she's out on a walk. She should be back in a few minutes. Corey, Rho, and Yves are in those three beds over there," Toadsky said, cheerily. Jerry sat up and looked toward the others. Corey's and Yves' monitors weren't moving very well. Rho's was mostly normal, but kind of slow.

"Rho should be okay. I think he's broken a rib, though. Yves has a broken wrist. Corey, I'm not sure. Having Yves fall on him and break through the wheelchair has a way of kicking him while he's down, eh? I'm worried about him yet again. He has broken 4 ribs, actually, and his leg has started bleeding again. I replaced his bandage; hopefully that will help," Toadsky mentioned. Jerry winced.

Rho woke up with chest pain. "Ow, what happened?" he asked.

"Well Rho, I'm afraid you've broken a rib. It's not too bad. You're lucky the wheel had rubber wrapped around it or it could have killed you," Toadsky said.

"Will I need any sort of support or something?" Rho asked nervously. "Oh, no. You will be just fine without something to help," said Toadsky pleasantly. Rho breathed a sigh of relief, and lay down. Jerry smiled.

"Ow! My freaking wrist hurts!" Yves shouted when he woke up, "Oh my god… everywhere hurts!"

"My, my. Yves, I understand you are in great pain. As Peach told me, your hands and feet banged into some rocks, and your body smashed Corey and his wheelchair," Toadsky stated.

"Oh, man. Did I break anything?" Yves asked.

"Actually, your wrist is broken," Toadsky replied.

"Gah…" Yves said, and went back to sleep.

After quite a while, Rho and Yves had woken again. "Great. Now everything is just about like it was earlier. Except worse. Corey is in worse condition, and so are Yves and I. This is so bad," said Rho to nobody in particular.

"This is perfect," a dark figure says from a dark, underground castle, "I finally am ready. And since those four are in a tough position, getting them will be a snap. Heck, it'll be half of a snap! MwohahahahahaHA!" The dark figure stepped out of the dark, into the glow of poisonous, green lava. Bowser's figure appeared. He was grinning a huge, evil smile.

"Hey, everyone, I'm back! Are you guys okay? Oh… not again!" said Peach, "Corey's really bad again, isn't he?"

"Yeah. Yves also broke his wrist, and Rho broke a rib. Corey's a lot worse off, though. You said Yves' head smashed into his stomach? Ew," said Jerry, monotonously.

"I'll be right back. I think I dropped my bag in front of the castle," Peach said, and exited the clinic.

Jerry sat down in his seat, and suddenly flinched. He heard a loud scream. "Someone's in trouble!" he shouted, and ran outside. He looked up, and saw Peach, captured and gagged by Bowser. Toadsworth came out of the door.

"Peach!" he shouted.

"Excellent! I can capture two more for my own needs! Mwohaha!" Bowser shouted. He launched a tarp down at Jerry and Toadsworth. Jerry stood still in shock.

"No!" shouted Toadsworth. He pushed Jerry out of the way at the last moment. Jerry watched in horror as Bowser lifted Toadsworth in the clear tarp and flew away with two prisoners.

"Yves! Rho! Toadsky! Help! Bowser just kidnapped Peach and Toadsworth!" Jerry shouted, running into the clinic.

"Good gravy! We have to go save him! Well, I guess the Marios can, actually," said Toadsky.

Jerry walked over to the window. He looked out, and saw the Marios chasing after Bowser. "I have to go help them!" Jerry shouted, and exited the clinic again.

He ran after Mario and Luigi just in time to see it. Bowser pulled out a grappling hook, and hooked it to Mario's and Luigi's overalls. He pulled them up and zoomed away. Rho ran up to Jerry.

"Oh my gosh, we have to go save the four of them!" Rho shouted.

"But what about Corey? I know Bowser will probably just lock up Mario and Luigi. But Corey is on the verge of death! We can't just leave!" Jerry shouted, "Oh, I can't choose between my four new friends or one injured friend! Ugh!" Jerry sat down and curled up in a ball. "This is so bad," he said over and over, rocking.

Rho had gone inside, but he came back out. "Okay. Jerry?" he said. "Yeah," said Jerry.

"I talked about it with Yves and Toadsky. They said that they can take care of Corey. AND that we should go save Peach and the others, okay?" Rho said, calmly. Jerry kept rocking. "Jerry," said Rho. Jerry didn't do anything. Rho waited for his answer.

"Okay," Jerry finally said, quietly.

Author's Note: Finally, Bowser sets his plan in motion. Now it's just Rho and Jerry in a competition against time. Four lives are at risk. Two new heroes are about to find out what they can really do. Please review!
