Me: Hey, guys. Here's the eighth chapter to Paper Mario and Sonic. You know, Christmas is coming soon and my birthday is this Saturday.
Mario: Well, happy early birthday, Emilie. What are you going to do?
Sonic: And are you getting your family something for Christmas?
Me: On my birthday, my mom is giving me my presents then we're getting a pedicure. Then we're going to Hoo Haut for dinner and Dairy Queen for desert. And I'm giving my mom jewelry with her birthstone, my dad a iTunes gift card, and my cousin a notebook with art for the Nightmare Before Christmas. But I don't know what to give my cousin's boyfriend, Andrew, or my brother. Anyway, here's the story.
The next spirit was Birdo's ancestress, Birdie. She was at Shiver Mountain at the Shiver Palace. But everyone has to be careful because it's in the north. So the team got their warm clothes on. The ones they used while at the Winter Olympics.
"Do you know where we can get to Shiver City, Mario?" Amy asked.
"Yes. There's a pipe that leads there," Mario said.
"Then let's go," Birdo said. So the team went to the pipe leading to Shiver City. The team met the gatekeeper who said they can't pass unless they ask the mayor. So they went to the mayor's house and met his wife. She said make themselves at home. But they saw that the mayor was unconscious. And he clutched a paper that said "Hemmingway". Then the wife came in and screamed and ran off.
"HELP ME! MY HUSBAND'S BEEN MURDERED!" the wife yelled. "IT'S A...MURDER CASE MYSTERY!"
"Calm down, ma'am," a man said. "Tell me what happened."
"Well, I came in and then I saw my husband dead!" the wife said.
"Who did it?" a male penguin said.
"He did! That hedgehog teen!" the wife said. "He's the guilty party! I told him not to come in and he barged in and murdered my husband!"
"What?" Sonic yelled.
"Hey, mate, Sonic would never do that," Marine said.
"Well, if you think you never did it, then prove it," the penguin said. "If you find the person you think murdered the mayor, then I'll believe you." The team agreed and went to find the guilty party they thought would be. The guy named Hemmingway. They looked around for his house and finally found him.
"Who is in my fireplace?" Hemmingway asked.
"Did you murder the mayor?" Marine yelled.
"What in the world are you talking about?" Hemmingway asked.
"Don't play dumb!" Blaze said. "We know you killed the mayor!"
"Okay. I'll see what's going on," Hemmingway said. So the team went back to the mayor's house. Mario and Sonic told the penguin that they think it's Hemmingway who is the guilty party. But he kept saying he didn't do anything all week but write his new mystery novel. Then the mayor woke up. The wife thought he was a ghost but he was really alive.
"What happened, mayor?" Blaze asked.
"Well, I remember getting something out of my cabinet but I fell on my head," the mayor said. "What I was getting was a present for Hemmingway."
"Why, thank you, friend," Hemmingway said.
"So you must be Mario," the mayor said. "And these are your friends, huh?"
"Yes we are," Sonic said. "My name is Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Well, pleasure to meet you," the mayor said.
"We came here to save the spirit in the Shiver Palace," Blaze said.
"Well, you'll have to ask about it from Merlow in Starborn Valley," the mayor said. So the team went to Starborn Valley. But before they got there, a monster appeared out of nowhere. So the team fought the monster until it disappeared and star kids went away. The team met Merlow in the village. He told them to come to his house to talk about the last spirit, the pure hearted Birdie. She knows all about Pise due to her helping Sasha and Maria.
"I saw her begging for help in my dreams," Merlow said. "To get inside the temple, you need this scarf. There's another item back in Shiver City."
"Okay. Let's go guys," Sonic said. So the team went back to Shiver City. The mayor said the item was a bucket. The team put the scarf on one snowman and the bucket on another. The door to Shiver Mountain opened. Before the team reached the palace, they saw a shrine down below. Inside the shrine there was a star stone. Then a spirit who looked like Silver appeared. The only difference for her was that her hair was red.
"My name is Samantha, friend to Sasha and ancestress to Silver," the hedgehog spirit said. "You must Mario and friends."
"Yes we are," Sonic said.
"Why are you here?" Blaze asked.
"I was sealed here long ago after I died," Samantha said.
"She died young," Sasha said. "She had heart problems." Then Samantha explained about her past and asked to help on the adventure. The team agreed and went to the Shiver Palace to find Birdie and save her. The palace was beautiful but had a lot of traps. The team went through the traps until they finally reached the end. The ice king came.
"You are Mario and his friends," the ice king said. "You came here to save the last spirit."
"That's right. Surrender now and set Birdie free!" Blaze said.
"If you want her, you'll have to fight me," the ice king said.
"With pleasure!" Shadow said. So the team fought the ice king until he disappeared into thin air. Then Birdie's card appeared and Mario grabbed it.
Back at the Armank Army base, Armano still had no idea how to prove Elise and Peach are two halves of Pise. Then he had an idea.
"Why didn't I think of this the whole time?" Armano asked. "I must merge the DNA. What? I can't believe it." In Peach and Elise's room, the shadow revealed as Sonic's friend, Vector the Crocodile. He showed the princesses what he found out on the plans.
"What? That's impossible!" Peach yelled.
"Why in the world would they plan that?" Elise yelled.
"It's true," Vector said. "That's why you must get out of here. I'll help you."
"OK. But I must tell Sonic about the plans before we leave," Elise said. She wrote her message. But before she could finish, the door opened. It was Armano. Vector hid under a table.
"My dear princesses, it turns out it's true," Armano said. "You are the halves of Pise. I'll take this stupid message machine. And send."
"What? I wasn't even finished!" Elise yelled.
"Who cares? I made a little threat to add. Now we have some important things to do," Armano said. So he took Elise and Peach away.
Back in the Shiver Palace, Birdie said the Armank Army are heading into an underground temple known as the Pise Temple. That was where Pise resided before she almost destroyed the world. The only way to the temple is a underground path that will open with the spirits' powers. When Birdie went to the entry of the path, Sonic got a message from Elise. "Dear Mario and Sonic, just found out something terrible. Your friend, Vector told us in order to have Pise destroy the world, they need... If you want to see your princesses again, go to the Pise Temple and we'll set them free. From Armano."
"That sounds like a trap," Sonic said.
"I agree. But we have to get to the temple to save Peach and Elise," Marine said.
Me: Uh oh! I hope the team saves Peach and Elise. Anyway, I would like to thank werewolf lover99 for commenting. I agree, the last chapter was pretty weird. Sometimes, I can be pretty weird.
Mario: Yes. I think she gets that from her dad.
Sonic: I think so, too.
Me: Me, too. But that doesn't mean nobody likes me. I had a lot of friends in school, so I'm good with adults and children. Anyway, don't forget to review.
