Chapter 10: The Shooting Star
(Outside Peach's Castle)
Mario and the rest of his team were all gathered outside the castle and saw was Kyrin.
Ash- I thought we were going after Bowser, Team Rocket, and the rest of the badies.
Kyrin- And we are, but in style.
Shantae- Can you explain, Kyrin.
Kyrin- I actually gave the original Mario Brothers another gift after they formed their team. You see…keeping in touch or traveling from place to place wasn't exactly as smooth back then as it is now. In fact, most of the items you mortals now a day act like you can't live without didn't even exist back then. So in order to help Marco and his team stay in touch and/or come to one another's aid, I gave them this…
Kyrin snapped the fingers of his organic hand and the ground suddenly began to shake.
Donkey Kong- What the ****?! Is this an earthquake?!
Link- It feels more like something is emerging from the ground for it to be an earthquake.
Suddenly, a large ark was rising out of the ground and strangely enough, the ground outside the castle where this giant ship was rising from looked completely undisturbed. Even after it fully emerged from the ground and floated just above them.
Kirby- A flying boat?
Kyrin- It's an airship and she's called the Shooting Star. It once belonged to your ancestor, Mario.
Ty- A flying ark that also happens to be a 1,000 years old…that sounds completely preposterous, mate!
Kyrin- I'm the one that built it, Ty. So, it's not that preposterous. You'll be surprised what tech of the gods is capable of even now a day. And by the looks of things, she's still working just fine. And with the Shooting Star, we should reach Bowser's castle in no time.
Kirby- But where are your followers, Kyrin?
Ash- I figured Richie and the others would want to come with us.
Kyrin- I asked them to help clean up the mess Bowser made in the castle. I figured me alone would be enough to help with this problem. Also, someone has to show you how to operate the Shooting Star.
