A/N Once again, there was a really long wait but the chapter's finally here. Enjoy! Also, thank you to everyone that reviewed.

After some minutes of exhaustion, Mario finally spoke up and told the ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom about the shards.

"Well, since Sparkling Waters is the closest, I think we should start there!" Paige exclaimed.

"But how can we get there? The way there is too dangerous because of quicksand and harsh weather." Mario explained.

"Uh, guys?" Peach tried to ask but Luigi interrupted her saying, "What if we use propeller suits?"

"But they'll only take us a short way." Mario disagreed.

"Guys-"Peach said, this time a little angrier but, once again, Paige interrupted her while saying," What if we borrow a lakitu cloud and Luigi uses the propeller suit to propel us?"

"I'll blow myself backwards then." Luigi said.

"GUYS," Peach yelled with all her might, shutting the group up, "How about I just get an airplane for you?"

Our heroes face palmed and agreed. Then, some wooden hulls started appearing over the horizon.

"Uh, Mario, why is there flying boats coming towards us?" Yoshi asked in confusion.

"AIRSHIPS!" The rest of the group yelled.

They turned around and started running. Yoshi shrugged and did the same.

"Not on my watch." Bowser Jr. muttered from his clown car and descended towards the ground. Behind him, the airships did the same.

"Luigi, catch!" Mario told his brother as he threw a fire flower to him.

The two stopped running and harnessed the power of the plant. Mario's undershirt and cap became white and his overalls became red. Luigi's were the same except his overalls were green. Unlike the ice flower, their body temperature went slightly up.

In Mario's hand, a ball of flames emerged and the plumber shot it at Bowser Jr. It hit the propeller of the clown car and it slowly fell down to the ground.

"That was easy." Mario remarked and went over to the wreckage of the car, hopefully to see Jr. okay (Hey, Mario has a heart).

"Mario, don't! It's a trap!" Luigi yelled out to his brother, trusting his instincts. But, it was too late.

When Mario went over to investigate, he got hit on the head with a hammer. The fainted plumber fell to the ground, his clothes flickering back and forth between red and white and blue and red. A few seconds later, the clothes stopped at Mario's famous two colors, blue and red. Bowser Jr. jumped out of his clown car triumphantly, hammer over his shell.

"Papa's going to be so proud of me!" The little koopa said to himself as he started to drag Mario towards the airships direction.

"Hey, hands off my hero!" Peach said heroically and ran over to Bowser Jr. But, the only catch is that she didn't have any weapon in hand!

The rest of the group tried to catch up when they heard a booming voice command, "FIRE!" Just then, Bullet Bills came out of the seven airships. They all looked the same as usual, a large metal bullet that had eyes and white arms sprouting out of its middle. But, they were all coming towards Yoshi, Paige, and Luigi. Luigi, quickly thing, shot out a line of fireballs at the Bullet Bills. The ones that that flames hit exploded impact but the rest were still on large.

"Yoshi," Luigi asked the lovable dinosaur as he destroyed some more Bills "Can you turn into a helicopter like you did on the old days?"

"Why?" Yoshi replied after swallowing one of the large bullets whole.

"Well, I'm thinking that you can go onto one of the ships and –"

"Use some firecrackers to light it up!" Yoshi continued what Luigi was saying. Luigi nodded.

"Come son, we got to get to the firecrackers store." Yoshi said to his son as he grabbed Paige's hand and pulled him back into Toad Town.

Meanwhile, with Bowser Jr. and Peach

While signaling to the airships to pick him up, Bowser Jr. noticed Peach coming towards him.

"Ah, I guess she does enjoy getting kidnapped." Junior once again said to himself and started to lean on Mario unconscious body while still signaling the ships.

But instead of saying 'I surrender' to the koopa prince, Bowser Junior instead got a high heel to the face.

"Ah! I think my lip is bleeding!" Bowser Jr. said terrified.

"No your lip is bruised honey; your nose is the thing that's bleeding." Peach replied as she karate chopped Bowser Junior in the face. There was so much force in that chop; it knocked the poor prince out.

Peach went over to Mario only to see he was awake during her entire encounter with Bowser Jr.

"Mario?! You've been awake this entire time?" Peach asked in surprise.

"I had enough energy left to hear and slightly open up my eyes. When I heard you, I wondered how you would fight that koopa prince. And speaking on how you fight, how come you never use that on Bowser?" Mario replied.

"Well, Bowser startles me every time he attacks so, I don't have time to use my karate." Peach answered sadly.

"Eh, oh well. It happens to the best of us." Mario said. Then, after mustering all his strength, gave Peach a hug. But, a few seconds later, he slumped back to the ground.

Meanwhile, on Bowser's Airship

Bowser growled happily in his airship's throne room. His worst enemy was knocked out by a single hammer. His brother (Green Stache or something) was trying to dodge all the bullet bills his fleet was sending at him. And finally, the green donkey and the small brown one that looked even more like a donkey were running away in terror. And, soon after this, he would have all 4 shards and a beautiful wife, Queen of Dark Lands, Queen Peach. He would be unstoppable. (And even untouchable!) His plan was going so well that he just noticed one of his koopa guards was yelling at him.

"What is it soldier?" He snapped at the grey, spiked shell, armored solider.

"Larry's and Morton's ships have been attacked!" The guard reported.

"WHAT!" Bowser roared.

"Come look for yourself." The soldier gulped.

Bowser stomped over to the window to see to flaming airships fall down onto the green lush Mushroom Kingdom ground. He could see also to some blue and black dots falling smoothly down with what looked like a parachute. It also looked like the blue dot had a fine hundred dollar bill in his hand along with it having the parachute on its back.

"Larry, that little cheat! When he gets home, I'm going to punch him towards Sunday! … Or however that saying goes." Bowser growled.

End Of Chapter.

A/N: Wow, I actually made a long chapter!
