Chapter 10: Death Match!

Princess. . . Mario thought as he running towards the castle. I'm coming for you. Just wait. "Slow down Mario!" cried Takeda as he ran after him. "You slow down too, Takeda!" cried Amber as she ran after him.

I just hope Rosalina is alright. Katelyn thought to herself.

The king released the princess and placed her into a cage. "Father. . .why. . .are you doing this?" Rosalina said, crying.

"This is for you own good." said the king. "I'm sorry, but the chain of royalty must not be broken! After all this, you are going to realize that you were wrong all along."

"You care more about your stupid traditions than your own daughter and grandchild!" cried Rosalina. "How would Mother react to all this!"

Mother. The king stood there, remembering his wife, the queen. "She would. . .probably be on my side." he replied.

"No, she wouldn't! She would be against what you are doing!" cried Rosalina. "Mother was a peaceful person!"

When Mario and the others finally arrived at the castle. He saw the castle guards with weapons pointing at them. "HALT! You dare try to enter!" said one guard. "Uh-oh. This looks bad." said Takeda.

"Oh, who gives a damn!" cried Amber as she kicked a knight. "Get her!" cried the guards. The guards charged at Amber but she used her kung fu to beat them. "Hee-yah!" she cried. She punched, kicked, and karate chopped all the guards. "Woah." said Mario & Katelyn.

"Amber! Behind you!" cried Takeda as a guard with a spear was approaching her. Amber punched him. "No one messes with Princess Amber!" she cried. "Shall we enter?" She walked inside.

"Yet Rosalina can't-a do that, can't she?" Takeda joked.

"Oh, shut up." Mario said as they walked in.

"Where did you learn that, Amber?" asked Luigi as he approached her. " Your father and my master. Kenshi Your father taught me how to fight, which is why, I hard to get kidnapped." explained Amber.

"No wonder Meowser kidnaps Rosalina instead!" joked Takeda.

"Yep, people have tried to kidnap me, but I always beat the shit out of them. Except for that one time. . .with Shinnok." said Amber. "Rosalina, on the other hand. . .er. . .no offense. . "

"You call your-a self a friend!" Mario lectured. "You are her best friend and here you are along with Takeda criticizing her!"

Takeda & Amber laughed. "Yeah, you're right, sorry." they said.

"They are so the perfect match." muttered Mario as he continued to run.

King Luigi sighed. "I don't want to talk about this anymore." he said to Rosalina. "Then why don't let me be with Mario!" cried his daughter. "So what if he's a peasant, I love him with all my heart! Can you not see that, Father!"

"You know the old tradition!" cried Luigi. "Princes and Princesses marry another of royal blood! Marrying a peasant is disgraceful! Out of the question!"

"That tradition has been broken long ago! Do you NOT see? Please father, release me!"

"If I release you, do you promise not go after Mario anymore? Will you finally obey me and marry a prince instead?"

Rosalina stood silent. Then she finally said, "You're. . . insane. Is THAT the condition? To release me if I promise not to see my true love anymore? No. . .it won't happen."

This outraged the king. He started to clench his fists. He ran towards the cage and started to shake it. Rosalina got hit a few times by it.

"LISTEN. . .TO ME. . .YOU DISGRACEFUL. . ." he said while shaking the cage.

". . .YOU WILL FOLLOW MY ORDERS, EITHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. YOU WILL MARRY A PRINCE. . .OUR ROYAL BLOOD WILL REMAIN THE SAME. NO. . .ONE. . .AND I MEAN NO ONE. . .WILL INTERFERE. . .WITH OUR ROYALTY. YOU WILL NOT EVER. . .AND. . .I MEAN EVER. . .SEE THAT PEASANT EVER AGAIN. YOU HEAR ME, BELOVED DAUGHTER? YOU FUCKING HEAR ME? SAY YES, APOLOGIZE!"

He stopped shaking the cage. Rosalina whimpered in fear, she looked up, her scared blue eyes looked at her father's menacing cold eyes, cold as ice.

Black as hell. She never saw her father this angry, ever.

She looked down and cried, cried like a child, the pain she could not contain anymore, she wanted to release it all out. She cried and cried, she couldn't stop.

"Well?" the king said coldly. "Don't cry beloved daughter. All you have to do is apologize for the things you've done. I'll forgive you. Just, promise you won't ever come in contact in any form with Mario anymore. Okay? Also, that you agree to marry a prince. I'll let you choose from a list I have."

Rosalina looked at the windows, she saw clouds building up, a storm was coming, it blocked the beautiful blue sky and the sun. Then she looked at the king. The king stared at her with his menacing eyes, Peach felt traumatized, in fear.

As the tears in her face poured down, she had one thing in her mind. Mario. . .she thought. . . .where are you? Did you. . .break your promise? Did you lose faith? Where did it go? Why aren't you here my love?

Where was he? Rosalina had no other choice. . . .If you broke your promise. . .then I must break mine. . .

". . .I'm sorry. . .father. . ." she said weakly. ". . .and. . .you have my word. . ."

"Done." her father said menacingly. An evil smile placed upon his face, he took out his key and placed the key onto the keyhole of the cage, I guess the Plan was no need after all. He thought. Mario, I have won. You. . .

Suddenly, the door broke down. The king turned around, there he saw a two young women, a princess of short blond hair, a servant, one plumbers,and metal warrior. He also saw an old mushroom man with a mustache, and the king's eyes were locked onto the short, red capped plumber whose eyes were locked onto him.

. . .lose?


Mario then looked at his princess, locked in a cage with some bruises from the hits she received from the shaken cage, her eyes red from the tears.

Oh how it angered him. His eyes started to grow fiery red.

"King Luigi Toadstool" he said very angrily.

"Mario." said Toadstool. "I've awaited for your arrival, I thought for sure, you wouldn't come. I was about to celebrate, until a certainsomeone must have led you all here." He stared at Toadsworth who gulped.

". . .Mario. . ." mumbled Rosalina. You didn't break your promise after all . . .

Mario could feel the anger rushing through is veins, seeing his love badly hurt definitely was something to lose cool about.

"Release my Princess." he finally said.

"Ah, you want my daughter?" the king said. "Sorry. . .but I'm afraid that's not possible. You're a little too late. You see, my daughter has already agreed to not see you ever again and agree to marry a prince. Oh, and she's NOT your princess."

This definitely doubted Mario at the fact that Rosalina would agree to do this.

"Liar!" cried Amber. "King Toadstool, you spout nothing but lies!"

"You say I am a liar?" asked Toadstool. "Alright then, why not ask my beloved daughter?"

He looked at Rosalina who just sat in her cage there silent. "Well, tell your promise you made with me." said Toadstool.

Rosalina did not respond. Then she took a deep breath and said, "It's. . .true. . ."

Amber gasped. "What? Rosalina, why-."

"It was only because. . . I just wanted to leave this cage! My father forced me to!"

"WHAT?" cried the king. "LIAR! I DID NO SUCH THING! YOU AGREED! YOU LIAR!" He started to shake the cage again. "Rosalina!" cried Takeda.

Then just like that, it was the last straw. Mario ran towards the king with the anger burning inside his, his angry firey eyes glowing.

"YOU PATHEIC LITTLE-." hollered Toadstool. Then Mario suddenly punched the king! The king fell and Mario started punching his face.

"YOU SON OF A-." he hollered.

Takeda quickly use his whip to grab Mario. "Mario, stop!" he cried.

"Takeda! What the hell are you doing?" cried Amber. "Let Mario beat the shit out of that bastard!"

Takeda finally pulled Mario away from the king. ". . .T-this. . .bastard. . .n-needs to be. . .punished!" cried Mario.

"Mario, relax!" cried Takeda. "Why not settle this the responsible way?" "IDIOT!" shouted Mario which made Takeda jump. "We came to FIGHT! Not to have a little chat!"

"That's right." said the king wiping some blood from his left cheek. "GUARDS!" he shouted. "Come, come here! Get these bloody fools out of my kingdom, and make sure they never come back!"

An army of guards came through the broken door. All well suited prepared for battle

"Oh. . .no. . ." said Takeda, he grew scared. "Look. . .how many are there. . ."

"And that's not all!" cried the king. "Oh. . .my great evil king. . .come out and reclaim your prize."

Great evil king? Mario thought. Who is he talking-

Suddenly the ground was shaking, Mario could feel the shaking beneath his feet, he felt that something big was coming. . .but. . .who could it be? Is it. . .

The shaking of the ground stopped. Mario looked up and he saw what he couldn't believe he saw.

Rosalina gasped in fear. "No. . ." she said.

"It can't be!" cried Amber.

"M-Meowser!" cried Takeda.

Meowser smirked. "Heh, it's been a while. . .Mario." he sneered.

"Meowser." Mario said angrily.

"My great fellow king." said King Luigi evilly. "Come to get my beloved daughter. She's been a bad girl, hasn't she? Why not take her to your place and teach her a lesson."

"Oh, but you said I can have the lovely princess." Meowser replied. "Were you lying?"

"Oh no. You can have her." said Toadstool.

"WHAT?" cried Amber.

"Father! What do you mean he can have me?" cried the princess in the cage.

". . .As punishment for being naughty. . .you're going to stay with him for a little while. . .unless. . .Mario can beat Meowser! If he can, you can be with him!" said her father.

"You're fucking insane!" cried Amber. "First off, why the hell would you give YOUR OWN DAUGHTER to an evil king! Knowing that this guy has been kidnapping her for years! Second, Mario has beaten this dude a thousand times already! This fight will be easy as hell for him!"

"Oh don't be so sure about that Princess Amber." said Toadstool. "Guards! Get them and Meowser, get your princess!"

The guards ran towards Mario,Amber,Takeda and Katelyn, while Meowser jumped up and pushed Mario really hard onto the wall. "Mario! NO!" cried Rosalina.

Meowser then grabbed the cage and jumped out of the window and

climbed up the top of the castle. "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" he cried. "Finally! After all these years, Princess Rosalina, you are finally MINE!"

...

"Hi-yah!" cried Amber as she kicked a guard. Then she did a flip and kicked three guards in total.

"Mario!" cried Takeda as he ran toward him and tried to pull him up. "You okay?"

"Takeda. . ." he said. "Give me the bag of items. I might need them. I'm going to fight Meowser."

"Oh. . .well okay. . .here." he said handing Mario a tied up brown bag.

He got up and patted Takeda. "Wish me a-luck." he said.

He ran started to ran to the broken window punching and kicking guards along the way and jumped out, onto the top of the castle.

"Good luck, Mario." said Takeda.

"Takeda, behind you!" cried Katelyn who was hitting guards with a broom

Takeda spun around and punched the guard. "Heh! Oh yeah! Takeda time!" he cried.

Meowser saw the red capped plumber running towards him. "Mario. . ." he muttered. "Mario!" cried the princess. "Princess!" cried Mario. Mario ran to punch Meowser but Meowser grabbed his fist and slammed him on the ground.

He did this a few times.

Meowser then took Rosalina and broke a window of a tower near them. He threw Rosalina in there and said, "You stay here until the time being!"

He quickly then resumed to battle.

Rosalina looked around, inside a cold, dark, lifeless tower. Only with a broken window to see the view of the fight. She began to weep once more.

"Mario. . .please win this fight." was all the princess could say.

Mario got up and took out his hammer. "You'll pay." he said.

"Hah! Like I am afraid of your pathetic little hammer!" cried his enemy. He slammed the hammer, Meowser jumped up and it slammed onto the ground instead. "Dammit." he said. He looked up and noticed that Meowser about to do a body slam on him! "Mama-!" he quickly jumped out of the way.

Then water droplets came out into the sky, it was drizzling. Mario quickly got into balance and noticed Meowser was chasing him to try to slam him. Mario dodged each one. Then, Meowser jumped right in front of him and slamed Mario unto the ground again.

"Hee-yah!" cried Amber as she kicked the last remaining guard standing. "Way to go Amber!" cheered Takeda.

"Heh, I kicked some ass, didn't I?" Amber asked.

"Yup, ya sure did! That's my wind princess!"

Amber blushed. "T-thanks." She loved it when her beloved Takeda gave her compliments.

"Now, lets go help Mario." said Takeda. "Right!" said Amber.

"Not so fast, you three!" cried the king. "You have to go through me!"

"Pff, you don't scare me, bud!" cried Amber. Then Amber jumped up and punched Luigi in the face!

"Wow!" cried Katelyn.

"This, is for hurting my best friend, YOUR OWN DAUGHTER!" cried Amber. She kicked the King's most weakest point or every guy's weakest point.

"Ouch!" cried Takeda. "That's a, gotta hurt!"

"D-d-damn y-y-ou!" cried the king in pain. "Owww…"

"Heh, later sucker!" cried Amber. "Lets go Takeda, oh and you too Katelyn."

"Yes, Princess Amber!" cried Katelyn. "I am at your service!"

"Buhahahaha!" cried Meowser as he saw the beaten Mario on the ground. "Hah! Give up, Mario."

"Meowser, please stop!" cried Rosalina from the tower. "Leave him alone!"

"Why should I do that?" Meowser asked the princess. "You know that you should NEVER let your enemy escape from your grasp. No matter how much they or their loved ones plead."

"Oh yeah? Well, if you don't stop this instant Meowser, prepare to do it the HARD way!" cried a voice.

Meowser turned around. "Who's there?"

He looked up and saw Amber, Takeda, & Katelyn on standing on Rosalina's tower.

"Meowser, your opponents are us!" cried Amber.

"Yeah! Surrender or-a else, y-y-you'll. . .um. . .h-h-have t-t-to deal with us!" stammered Takeda.

"Don't act like a wimp around him!" whispered Amber to Luigi. "Come on! Time to kick some koopa butt!"

Meowser began to laugh. "Hahahaha! You guys! Ha! This fight is going to be even more easier!" Meowser began to shoot out flames from his mouth."That's what you think!" cried Amber, with her speed and agility she was able to dodge the flames and kicked Meowser's face hard. The evil king was sent flying.

"Mario!" cried Amber. "Now!"

The beaten plumber quickly stood up and punched him back to Amber. The two took turns into punching and kicking him back and forth. Finally when Meowser was headed towards Mario's direction, Mario grabbed his tail and spun him around causing Meowser to be hit hard onto the dark tower Peach was in.

"Score-a one by Amber and Mario!" cried Takeda clapping his hands.

"Hell yeah!" cried the flower princess. "Don't mess with Princess Amber!"

"Luigi, we should do something now." said Katie.

"That's a right!" cried Mario. "Takeda, Katelyn, go and free Rosalina from the tower! Me and Amber will handle Meowser!"

Katelyn & Takeda nodded. "Yes sir!"

...

"Argh!" roared Meowser in pain. "Curse you Mario and Amber!" He try to rose up but fell. Amber then noticed something coming out of him. "Static?" she said.

From the side of the castle the king, saw the whole fight from the window Meowser broke. "Fool!" he cried. He took out a communicator device.

"Calling Meowser!" cried the king. Another device was placed on Meowser's chest. Meowser then heard the voice. "Argh, whaddaya want?" he cried.

"You are NOT winning Meowser!" cried Luigi from the speakers of the device.

"Go out there and show those traitors what you are made of! Especially that Mario! However, don't kill him. Or Amber."

Meowser groaned. "Fine!" He rose up with with a few scratches.

Mario began to fire up his hand for fireballs.

"Mario…" whispered Amber to him. "Notice how Meowser isn't bleeding?"

"Yes." whispered the plumber back. "I also noticed some static from him. Why isn't he bleeding? We hit him pretty hard."


Back at Comet Observatory, Heaven was playing with her lumas. Then she felt a strange feeling inside her. "I feel. . . ." she said. ". . . .that someplace is in chaos now. . . . ."

She heard a cry. It happened to be Lumacométe, the luma who came to her in panic.

"Lumacométe?" she asked. "What's wrong?"

Lumacométe started to make gestures, this questioned Heaven. "Did something happen when you were delivering the letter to Mama Rosalina?" she asked.

Lumacométe nodded without hesitation. It then tugged Heaven's dress, pointing to the direction of the Mushroom Kingdom.

Rosalina thought for a few moments. Could it be that the feeling I'm having now is. . .

She gasped. "Oh no." she said. "They. . . need me!"

Heaven began to run inside her observatory and took her wand. The lumas followed her, questioning her actions.

"Little ones, I must go somewhere." she said. "The Mushroom Kingdom is in danger! They need my help! Lumalees!"

The Turquoise Luma came in. "Please look after the observatory and lumas while I go. I need to be somewhere now!"

Lumalees nodded. It made a gesture saying "Yes, you should go to where you need to go."

"Lumacométe, come with me." Heaven said to the luma. "I need to guide me and help me."

Lumacométe nodded. Then made a gesture saying: "You can count on me, Heaven!"

...

Meanwhile back at the Mushroom Kingdom, Takeda & Katelyn were in the castle looking for an entrance to the tower.

They were in a hallway full of knight suits on display. "Darn, we have been going around in circles!" cried Takeda. "We already passed this place!"

"We need to keep on trying!" cried Katelyn. "Please, we must release Princess Peach out of there!"

"I know." Takeda replied. "But where the hell is the-a entrance?"

"Takeda! Katie!" cried voices.

"Metal Mario! Pg Peach!" cried Katelyn.

"You looking for the princess?" asked the pink metal princess as she and Metal Mario ran up to them.

"Of course!" cried Takeda. "She's in that tower over there!" He pointed to the tower that was right near this side of the castle, but across.

"Do ya guys know the entrance to that place?"

"Why, you're in luck!" said Pg Peach. "We do. Come on, lets go!"

...

"Ugh!" cried Mario as he was slammed onto a tower.

"Mario!" cried Amber. Meowser laughed so evilly. "Heh, you're losing to me now, Mario."

"Meowser, leave him alone!" cried Amber. She ran to punch him. "Face the fury of-." But the koopa king grabbed the flower princess' hand and started to crush it. Amber screamed in pain. Meowser then whacked her head with his claws, causing scratches on her cheek. She bleeded.

"Heheh!"Meowser snickered and then grabbed the princess, and slammed her down. It broke the roof of the castle they were on, causing Amber to fall down into the hard floor.

"N-no! Amber!" cried Mario weakly.

Amber, on the cold hard floor, knocked out, filled with bruises, parts of her dress torn, and her left cheek bleeding from the scratches, could fight no more.

"One down." said the evil koopa king. "One to go."

...

"Here it is." said Pg Peach as she and the others accompanied her to their destination. "The entrance."

The others stared at it with awe. An old wooden door with extravagant designs engraved on to it, and a door knob with a keyhole made out of pure gold was the entrance.

"Well." said Takeda. "That was quicker than I-a expected."

"Open it!" cried Metal Mario.

Then with a key, Pg Peach opened the door.

"This is one of the most oldest towers of the castle." she said.

"I heard. . . that it was used as a jail for captured criminals. Therefore, people have died in here." She took a light torch from the torch holder near the entrance. The four went up the stairs.

This made Takeda get chills. "D-d-d-ied?" "Yep." said Toad.

"D-does, that-a mean. . .it's. . .a haunted?" cried the Shirai Ryu warrior.

"Well I heard stories that people have seen spirits lurking around here." Pg Peach said.

"Meep!" cried Takeda. He shivered in fear. He crouched down and pulled his hat down to cover his eyes.

"Ugh!" cried Metal Mario as glared at Pg Peach. "Have you forgotten his fear of ghosts?"

"Oops." said Pg Peach. "Sorry, my mistake. Shouldn't have told you."

"Come on, we must save the princess!" cried Katelyn as she ran up the steps.

"Wait for us!" cried Metal Mario & Pg Peach and ran after her.

"N-no! Don't a leave me here!" cried Takeda as he ran in fear after them.

They all ran up the stairs and they finally arrived with all out of breath.

"We. . .made it!" cried Metal Mario as he gasped for air.

Katelyn saw the door they arrived at. She peeked through the small window with bars. "Princess!" she cried.

The princess, still in her cage picked her head up. "Katelyn!" she cried.

"Rosalina!" cried Takeda.

"Luigi!" cried Rosalina. "How did you guys find me?"

"Thanks to us!" cried voices.

"Oh! Metal Mario! Pink Gold Peach!" she cried.

"We'll get you out!" cried Metal Mario. Pink Gold Peach then took out another key and put in to the key hole, twisted it, and the door opened.

"Oh princess!" cried Katelyn as she saw the princess. "Thank you!" cried Rosalina as she began to sob.

"Come on!" cried Takeda. "We have to go and help Mario."

"We should get Rosalina out of this cage though!" Pink Gold Peach said.

"Meowser has it!" Rosalina replied.

"Then we should go!" cried Metal Mario.

He, Pink Gold Peach, & Katelyn ran out of the room. "Takeda, grab the cage and follow us!" echoed Katelyn as she ran down the steps.

"OK!" Takeda use his whip held the cage with Rosalina. It was heavy but he can handle it. "Lets-a go and help Mario!" he said to Rosalian as he ran down the steps.

"Yes." said Rosalina. "We must."

SLAM! Mario was hit onto a castle wall. He fell onto a balcony. He coughed up some blood. Parts of her overalls were torn. His hat as well. He was badly injured by the koopa king.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!" cried Meowser as he jumped down to the balcony. He grabbed Mario by the collar and was planning to throw him off the balcony. Mario tried to be free from Meowser's grasp, but the grasp was too strong. He gauged a bit.

"Oh no!" cried Pink Gold Peach as she and the other four arrived at the scene.

"NO!" shouted Rosalina. "MARIO!"

She saw the horror, she began to cry once more, seeing her beloved one injured broke her heart.

"Where's Amber?" cried Takeda. He released the cage as he began to search her. Then he noticed a hole on a roof. He went to it and looked down to see his horror. "AMBER!" he shouted. He jumped down.

He shook her. "Amber! You okay? AMBER!"

"Meowser! Please!" cried Rosalina. "Don't-."

"FINALLY! After all these years of trying to beat you and have the princess has finally arrived!" the koopa king shouted in glee.

"Ah, and it seems that the end is finally here for YOU, Mario."

Mario looked down to the ground, he noticed that there was a crowd of people down there. Apparently, someone reported to have seen something strange happening at the castle. So everyone from the whole Mushroom land came to see.

His tired blue eyes then looked at Rosalina and the others. Princess. . .

He looked back at Meowser and said, "Ah, you are-a right. Looks like you finally a-win. Your wish has came true after all."

"Heh, that's what I like to hear." snickered Meowser.

No. thought Rosalina. No! What are you saying Mario? You can't give up! What about our promise? Your persistence? My Mario never gives up!

She couldn't believe it. Mario. . .her Mario, the Super Mario? Giving up? It is unthinkable that something like that would happen.

What about us being together? What about our child! she thought.

The thunder roared, the lightening strike, the rain began to pour so hard.

The king looked at the scene from his room. "He better not actually kill him!"

"Hmph." The koopa king said. "Any last words before I throw you to let you fall to your death, Super Mario?"

The red capped plumber sighed, then did a small smirk. "You. . . Have always wanted the princess, right?" he began to say.

"You never gave up in wanting her. You knew it was hard to have her. You know why Meowser? It was because, I'm not only her protector, but her lover. Just like you, I wanted her all to myself. I didn't and still don't want her with anyone else. I'm just as rotten as a you. We're alike you know. Both of us, fighting for the girl we love. Now, we are fighting to the death, for the same reasons. We have been enemies for YEARS, and in the end, only ONE prevails. And it seems that the 'one' is you Meowser. Happy now? Satisfied? I lose. You win. She's yours now. You have been a worthy rival, Meowser. Really, you have been."

"Shut up!" cried Meowser. "You're just trying to make me feel pity for ya! Well, I'm telling ya now, it's not working!"

"No, Imma not." replied the plumber. "I lost fair and square. You win. However, remember, that baby Rosalina is carrying is MINE. No one else. Do me a favor, will you? Make Rosalina do the honor of telling him or her who his or her real father is. Tell him or her the tale of Super Mario, the man who loved his or her mother very much and died with honor to protect her and her baby. It's only fair right? You get to have Rosalina and the baby as a bonus, but I will always be the baby's one true father, not a you."

Meowser was speechless. Then a few moments after he replied: "Why the hell would you tell me to do something like that? Why would I let the kid know about YOU? You're my rival! Hell no! Instead I will just say to the kid that you were a worthless rival who was in love with his or her mother! That you're NOTHING!"

"Heh, I knew you wouldn't agree." said Mario. "Ah. . .well. . ."

Then he looked at his beloved Princess Rosalina , and said: "Princess Rosalina Lynn Star , I Super Mario want you to do the favor of taking care of our child. Raise him or her well, please tell him or her the tale of mine. Even, if I'm not around, please tell." He felt a small tear fall from his eye.

"Thank you, for everything." he said. "Tell Takeda and Amber thank you as well. Tell everyone. I love you Princess Rosalina, and our child, and I forever will."

"NO!" shouted the princess. "MARIO, PLEASE!"

"Hmph! Goodbye!" cried Meowser, ready to release the plumber. "You rotten!"

As he released him, Mario suddenly jumped up grabbed Meowser and threw him off the balcony instead! However, Mario lost his balance and fell off!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" cried Rosalina. The crowd gasped. Mario who was falling with tears coming out of this eyes started to have illusions of Rosalina and their child.

Goodbye Princess Rosalina. thought Mario. I will always. . .

Then suddenly a light blue flash of light came and caught Mario from falling. While Meowser who screamed fell onto the water fountain that was at the ground.

The light was so bright it outshined Mario's vision. "Eh? Wha-."

"You have done enough, Mario." said a voice. The light grew dim and Mario gasped to see who saved him.

"H-Heaven. . ." he said weakly.

. . .love you?
