Hi there! Not much to say but enjoy and please reveiw!
Super Mario Eds
Plum and Ed had decided to rest near an unbelievable huge oak tree. Its truck was as big as a trailer and its green leafs swayed so massively that the shade seemed to have a life all its own. Ed put his three injured friends down, facing them up. They looked so still and peaceful, one might think they were… No. Ed dismissed the thought from his head and sat over by Plum, who was examining them all further.
"Ed, I need you to bring me so water and lots of it." She said
Ed nodded and went in search for the elusive liquid. It was a very harrowing task. They were very deep in the woods, almost at the center, and water was something very far-off. Ed thought he saw it many things, only for it to be a passing bird, exhaustion, and in one case, methane. After nearly three hours of searching, Ed finally arrived at a stream, animals lapping at its shores. He shooed some away and filled the bucket Plum gave him. After another hour, Ed arrived back with the water.
"What took so long?" Plum asked taking it.
"The stream was far." Ed replied
Plum soaked some towels in water and placed one on each of her friends' heads. She then reached into her pocket and pulled out a mushshroom. It was red polka-dotted with a white head with two black beady eyes. She put it in a bowl and grounded in to chucks. She added water and stirred, making a soup. She let each of them sip it until it was all gone.
"Ed, we need some more water but going to the stream will take too long." She said
"Bing!!" Ed said as an idea came to him.
He dug into his pocket and pulled out an Ice Flower. He activated it and his clothes changed. His shirt became icy blue, his jacket white and his pants white. He rubbed his hands together and made an ice cube. He then held out his hand and made a large ball of ice. He shot it in the bucket and then crushed a Fire Flower. He shot off a fire ball and it melted into water.
"Ed! That's genius!" she said and quickly rewet their towels.
Ed smiled proudly and so, he repeated the process when necessary. After a good days rest, their friends beganed to stir. Kenny was the first awake. Kenny was the first awake. He groaned as he shakily opened his eyelids and shook himself awake.
"Wh…where am I?" he asked
" Kenny!" Plum said happily and hugged him.
"Ow!" Kenny said as she gripped him tightly.
"Sorry!" she said quickly backing away.
"...What's all the yelling?" Eddy asked as he rubbed his head.
"EDDY!" Ed shouted and squeezed his friend tight.
Eddy protested but Ed hugged him as long as he wanted. After a while, Double D finally snapped out of his trace.
"Ed? Eddy? I just had the strangest.." he looked around at Plum and Kenny as well as his two friends. "Nevermind." he said with a smile.
After some brief resting, the group got up and wondered out from the woods. Along the way, they encountered quite a few enemies. Plum was egar to fight, finishing off foes with ease with her arrows. Kenny was a bit uneasy. He could fell as thought some evil was watching their every move. AS they came from the thick woods, a light washed over them. The Sun's glow was refreshing from all the shaded darkness of the forest. They stopped as they heard a lone clap. They turned, weapons ready, as they faced Katrina.
"My, my. You five are so entertaining." she laughed.
"You weren't saying that last time." Plum said remarking when her arrow hit.
"Yes. But I've come not to fight but to inform." she said
"Inform us of what?" Kenny asked
"The truth, of course." she said leaning on her broom.
"Truth?" Edd asked
"Yes, Eddward AKA Double D." she said
The group froze.
"H-H-How do you know my name?" he asked
"I know all your names. Ed, Eddy, Kendrick, Plumea." she said pointing to each of them.
"Plumea?" Eddy said snickering.
"Shut it." she said and then looked at the witch.
"You see, I too, am from Earth." she said
"WHAT!!!" The four guys shouted
"Yes. I'm well known secretly. You see, On Earth, my real name is Ellen Robs. I'm a sub-normal person. One of those people who blends into the surrounding. I'm not very pretty, plain looking. I work at a dead-beat job as a cashier for an unknown resturant and live in a tiny, crap apartment. My life is by no meas 'glamorous'." she explained
"Sounds quite like our lives, minus the apartment and job." Double D remarked
"I never went to college but you'd never guess. I have only one talent: my computer skills. I'm a hacker." she said
"A waht?" Eddy asked
"A Hacker is someone who hacks into systems and implants viruses." Edd explained "The scum of socity." he said.
"We prefer the term 'misunderstood.' I deal with master viruses, viruses that inject all items in a given system. You might be familiar with my work. I crashed the Stock Markets in 1990." she said
"That was you?!" Double D said completly flabbergassed.
"That program crashed over 197 systems! The authrioties never found out who did it but they had an untraceable screen name........Katrina." he said
"Yes. I bacame bored with my place in the world and decided that a change of snecnary would serve me good. So, I used a supercomputer and converted myself into a virus that ended up in.." she said
"In the factory for the Super Mario game, that I bought, played.." Kenny said
"And ended up here as a tool of my enjoyment. But, we know all about you Kenny. Let's talk about Plum." she saud and derected her attention at her.
"As a computer speacialist I've always wandered about the ultimate goal in my field: Artifical Intellegence. You see, I worked many hours on the concept and found out a ground-breaking truth. You could spend years on working out an advanced program and never reach AI. The only thing needed...is the mind of a human." she explained
"What do you mean?" Edd said, curious.
"When a person sleeps, their concieness leaves their body and floats in a knid of'sea' of imagination. It transends the boundtries of the psyical world and even reachs inside programs. Learning this, I beganed an experiment. I inserted a consiecness inside one of my own programs and watched how it reacted. I modeled it after the ruler of this Kingdom." she explained
Plum lowered her weapon and grew wide-eyed and speechless. The group knew where she was going with this.
"You, Plum, were that program. You are AI created by me. So, I'm, in a way, like your mother and I'm a very proud one at that. I never would of guess you'd turn out so wonderfully but you did have one flaw... Well, that's enough for now. Bye-bye, my daugther." she said and flew off.
When she did, she fell to her knees and burst into tears. The guys did their best to consoll her but she was far too upset for it to really help. She weept for a long while before she calmed down. She layed down on the grass and curled up next to Ed. A rouge of red spead across his face.
"I...I want...I just want to go away from here." she said softly.
Then, her necklace glew a bright gold. Everyone's attention turned to it. Plum uncurled and starred at it in amazement. It shone brighter and soon their surroundings becag to shift and change to a familiar setting.
"This is Sarah's room!" Eddy said, half scared, half excited
"This must be the flaw she talked about. Plum's necklace must be a portal from here back to Earth." Kenny said as the room became more solid.
Ed could even feel the carpet and smell the scent of light perfume in the air.
"So this is Earth." Plumsaid, the room almost completely solid.
Then, a black beam hit the nacklace. The room quickly faded and Plum's head roses as the necklace did. It held there for a second before it broke into five peices. They scattered to different directions, leaving behind a gold trail and five very stunned kids.
"Can't be having that now, too easy. You'll have to work for your freedom." Katrina hummed and then disappeared
"What are we suppose to do now!?!" Eddy yelled in fustraction
"Don't worry, one of those peices landed near us. We need to get it." Plumsaid, back to her old self.
The group raced for the peice, sprinting across the landscape as fast as their feet would allow. Enemies came at them but they swatted them away like flies. Eddy had come across a few gold cions and they even found a small shop where they replenished there Power-Ups. As they drew near the location, Eddy felt a monsterious thud.
"What was that?" he asked
It struck again and the group went ahead and looked throught some bushes. What they saw was breath-taking in a bad way. There stood a huge beast, a least 30 feet tall. It had a shark-like appearence with razor-sharp teeth and huge arms with anchor shaped bades on the end. Its legs were massive with two cylinders on the back of eack heel. A huge dorsel-fin frailed from the back of its head. It was all black with red trimmings. But what caught their attention was what it had in its chest.
"That's the garudian of the Star Peice!?" Double D said in a hushed tone.
They quickly retreated deeper into the woods until they could speak normally. Plum put her hand to her chin.
"This is bad. With our current level of power, something like that would salguther us." she said
"What do we do?" Ed asked
"A while back, my Da-Mario told me that every Power-Up has an upgraded form. He said that they only can be found in certain parts of the world. He told me that using them was also much more diffucult than using the normal ones due to the extreame power level difference." she explianed
"So we have to find the Inferno Bloosom, Fridged Bloosom, Lightning Bloosom.." Plum started as epic music played ( the one found in Naruto)
" Mallet Armor, Racoon Armor, Mega Branch..." Kenny went on
"Hero Wing, Imperveus Sun.." Double D trailed
"And Precious Glory." Plum said "Its an upgraded version of my bow." she said
"Then, let's go!" Ed shouted and the group raced off for the Mega-Ups
And so begans the true adventures of Super Mario Eds!
Will our heros be able to reach the Mega-Up? Or will Katrina see to their doom? Find out in the next chapter of Super Mario Eds! TTFN!
