Chapt. 1 Ep. 7
Springing Into the Courtyard
Beating Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, Jay, Gryd, and Yoshi himself decided to explore the village outside of the arena to get a grasp of the Courtyard beyond just the hidden items and battles. Walking into Grove Town they noticed all the small shops and houses in the area with species of many kinds walking around. Mario: I think we should eat, it's been a while since we've done that. Luigi: Gee ya think? Yoshi: Yoshi. Jay: Whatever, I'll eat anything. Gryd: Yeah I'll pass, I usually dine on mystic dust that floats down from the sky at night. Mario: Ok. They walked up to a market place ran by a Goomba with Mario getting spaghetti, Luigi got pizza, Yoshi got spicy apples, and Jay shrapnel. They sat down and started eating. Gryd: I'm really glad I don't eat normal food. Luigi: Is it because you can't? Gryd: Yes. Jay: Man, I love scrap! Mario: How can you stomach that? Jay: It's how my intestines work. Yoshi: Yoshi! They delightfully chowed down on all the food thinking of their next move.
Jay: So, what next? Mario: Well tomorrow is the final challenge of the Courtyard so… But before Mario could finish a dusty black sandstorm kicked up blowing strong winds that swept up some and made M & L's caps blow away. Luigi: What's going on?! Mario: I don't know! Gryd: ! Jay: Darn! Yoshi: Yoshi! The wind continued blowing until a shadow King Blooper floated down growling. Mario: What the heck happened to King Blooper?! Gryd: Doesn't matter, whatever is making those guys we fought shadowy must've found him somehow! Jay: You two, go on and battle him! Mario: Alright, let's a go! Luigi: Oki Doki!
Round 5 Courtyard- Shadow King Blooper Health: 62 Def. 20 Attack: 20 SpD: 19 SpA: 20
A sandstorm whipped up, Mario and Luigi entered the center having a stare down with King Blooper. Mario pulled out a Fire Flower casting up a medium sized fireball to toss at King Blooper for a nice 6 damage. Blooper slammed it's left hand slapping both M & L for 11 damage, Luigi took his turn using Thunder Hand while charging it to eventually blast it a high speeds towards King Blooper for a *Lucky* 8 damage. Blooper spat ink on the ground making it slippery.
Mario attempted to jump on Blooper only to slip and have a "Messy Status", Luigi wasn't sure but he used another charged Thunder Hand on King Blooper for 6 damage. Blooper did his slap attack on Luigi but missing Mario for 11 damage. Luigi: Oh no! Luigi was running low on health so he ate a Mushroom to regain 20 hp while giving Mario a Full Heal, Mario this time sprung up high to jump on King Blooper doing it multiple times for 7 damage.
Luigi took out his hammer running and jumping up into Blooper slamming the hammer down from his face to legs dishing out another *Lucky* 9 damage. Blooper felt pumped, he shot projectile ink at Mario and Luigi, each taking 11 damage with Mario collapsing and Luigi low again. Luigi: Mario! Luckily Gryd stepped in taking Mario's place. Gryd: Time to shine on!
Gryd rained down his Meteor Storm on Blooper for 8 damage, this allowed Luigi to regain 20 hp again with another Mushroom and bring back Mario with a 1 Up Mushroom. Mario: Let's a go! Blooper shot more projectile ink at them again only for it to get reflected by Gryd's instant psychic field and fire back at him for 9 damage. Mario pulled out a red shell giving Luigi an ok before they hit the shell back and forth going faster and faster until kicking it into King Blooper for 8 damage.
King Blooper went into an Allegro with 2 pieces of health left, he put his right and left hands in front sending a giant tidal wave of ink at M, L, and Gryd with M & L taking 12 damage, this brought Luigi to 10 and Mario to 12 and didn't affect Gryd. However Mario and Luigi bother charged their hammers, they went up to King Blooper swinging their hammers around with 14 damage and hitting King Blooper out of the park as his shadowy form disappeared and he had a shocked expression being flung far across the island.
Mario: Here we go! Luigi: Yahoo! Gryd: Cosmic victory! Jay: Awesome job! Gryd: Now I know somethings up, what is making these shadowy influences?! Mario: We may not know, but maybe R and those others know about this. Gryd: Then that means we have to keep our eyes peeled for every possible clue, unless they're the ones causing this. Luigi: I hope that isn't true. Gryd: Hmph, just a suggestion. Jay: Would be interesting if it was. Yoshi: Yoshi.
After that scrapped beat the group went through the swept town helping out other villagers and getting citizens out of destroyed houses and clearing out the remaining black sand. The bros. Also used their building and plumbing skills to repair the houses and small businesses, when they were all finished everyone thanked them. Shop Goomba: You guys are the best! Random Shy Guy: Nothing like a rebuilt town. Mario: No problem, we're just doing our job. Luigi: Even if we sometimes can't think of ways around, we do it ASAP. Gryd: And we're just here I guess. Jay: *Sigh*. Yoshi: Yoshi!
Meanwhile in the quarters of R, I, and P they were all staring at each other with intent. R: Well, things are going more smoothly then I thought. P: Yeah, but about the shadows. R: What about the shadows? P: If we use this ancient evil energy anymore, could it possible kill and use us when we're dead? I: Where would you get that idea from? R: Don't be silly, eventually those 2 bros. Will get to us, it is only then that we can use and destroy them. P: But what about the ancient evil ener…. R: Who cares, it won't be our end. P: Or at least not yet…
So the heroes' day went on with nothing out of the ordinary happening, but tomorrow was the end of the Courtyard and whether they're ready or not is unknown, however they would take their last challenge and close this page in style.
End.
