Chapter 11: Beasts of the Land and Sea
Geno slowly opened his eyes to see one of the Toads looking down on him. " Huh.. where am I?" Geno asked as he sat up. He felt great, It was almost like he never left home or was attacked by Cackletta.. Cakletta! She was still on the loose! " Your safe in the Toad Town Inn. Luigi kindly brought you here. You were in bad shape but we managed to doctor you up. You look good as new." The toad said as he backed away trying not to be too close to Geno. " Luigi! Where is he!" Geno said with a very scared look on his face. " Whoa! Calm down! Luigi just went into town. He'll be back." the Toad said not too sure what the hurry was for. " I have to talk to him. Something urgent." Geno jumped out of bed.
" What's the problem?" the Toad asked a little worried. " Peach's Castle is going to be invaded!" Geno cried, this surprised the Toad a little too much. "Go and tell the princess!" with that Geno was out the door. The Toad hurried towards the palace. He bursted through the front door. " I NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE PRINCESS!" the Toad yelled so loud the place echoed. " What's the problem?" one of the guards said. " Trouble! Please I beg you!" the toad cried. From hearing all of this, Princess Peach came out of her room. " What's wrong citizen?" the Princess said trying to calm the toad. " The castle is going to be invaded. I know it's true. Geno told me." the toad said trying to catch his breath. " Geno? What's he doing here?" the Princess asked. " He was attacked and Luigi saved him. Please!" the Toad begged. " Gather as many troops as you can." Peach said. " Um... Princess.. what if we ask the BeanBean Kingdom to aid us. We're kind of low on numbers and if a place as large as this is going to be invaded, It's gonna be big." one of the guards suggested. " Very well. I shall call the BeanBean Kingdom immediately." Peach said as she headed towards her room.
Luigi was simply doing errands for local townspeople. He had just finished giving a little toad boy his toy Koopa back. He then heard a loud " HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!" it was coming from Tayce T.'s house. Luigi ran to the place as fast as he could. He burst open the door. " What'sa wrong?" Luigi asked when he saw Tayce T. crying. " Toadette... they took Toadette!" Tayce T. cried. " Who tooka Toadette?" Luigi asked. " A purple monster.. in a suit. It came in here and tried to kidnap me. Toadette came and tried to fight him. The monster took her instead and took her to the sewers! You have to save her!" Toadette said weeping on his boots. " Don't worry Tayce T. I'll bring her back." With that Luigi left the house and dashed towards the sewers. He dove into the pipe ready to be a hero. Geno, who wasn't far away so him dive in. " Oh no!" Geno cried as he dashed after him.
It was dark, damp, and smelly in the Toad Town Sewers. Luigi landed on the concrete ground. There before him was a purple figure wearing a suit. He was watching something. It was Toadette! She was chained to a pole and not far to the side Luigi saw something else. One of the pipes are smashed causing water is flowing uncontrollably. Luigi called out to the threat. " You! What are youa doing!" Luigi asked as he clenched his fists. The figure turned around and faced Luigi. It was holding a small blue orb. " Following orders." the figure said then he flicked the orb into the water and warped out of sight. " Comea back here!" Luigi yelled. He ran towards Toadette and was about to dive in after her when he heard a scream. " STOP!" Luigi turned around and saw Geno standing there with a serious look on his face. " It's a trap! your falling into her trap!" Geno warned the plumber. " What are you talking about! Toadette is going to drown and your telling me not to save her?" Geno would have continued but the place began to shake violently. " What'sa going on?" Luigi asked trying to stay balanced as he noticed the water was bubbling wildly at the surface.
Out of the water bursted a gigantic sea horse.
"SCRAAAAAAAAAAWWWWCH!"
" Dragonzamasu!" Luigi cried as the enormous monster spat a fireball at the little Plumber. Luigi retreated into the water.
The giant insect rubbed it's fangs together as it eyed Mario and the others. Kari took out her DS.
Name: Flaahgra
Game: Metroid Prime
Des. Gigantic Insect/Plant. Is the source of acidic streams. Highly venomous
Attacks: Swipe, Roots, Hack
Weakness:
Before Kari could read what the weakness was Mario shoved her away from one of Flaahgra's incoming scythe arms. Kari quickly got up and rolled out of the way as another arm came towards her. Mario took a Yoshi egg out of his cap which hatched into a baby Yoshi. " Yoshi!" the little baby said as it looked at Mario. Mario took out another can of Meatballs. " Forgive me." Mario said as he stuffed the meatballs into the youngling's mouth turning it into a full grown Yoshi. Mario got onto the Yoshi. He then shot a fireball at Flaahgra. " Hey! Overa here!" Mario yelled as Flaahgra tried to squash him with one of her scythes. " Giddyup!" Mario said as the Yoshi sped up away from the scythe. Mario was soon being chased in a complete circle away from her constantly dropping arms. " Read hera weakness!" Mario cried knowing he couldn't outrun here forever. Kari looked at the DS.
Weakness: Lack of Sunlight
" It can't do anything without it's sunlight!" Kari yelled as Mario just missed being clipped by another scythe. Mario looked around the area. Kirby in the meantime tried to confuse Flaahgra. He flew up to the insects face and floated around to block her vision. Flaahgra swiped at him but Kirby floated out of the way. Samus soon spotted some sunbeams pointing to the ceiling. She aimed her gun and fired but nothing happened. Kari tried shooting at it but it still different work. " Try something stronger." Kari suggested. Samus nodded then shot a missle at the sunbeam. It tilted down preventing sunlight from Flaahgra. Flaahgra grew very weak and collapsed onto the ground. Samus spotted a hole and turned into a morphball, she then rolled into the hole and set off a bomb. She screeched in agony as she hid back into the flower.
Luigi swam through the water as fast as he could. He quickly glanced over his shoulder and spotted Dranzamasu hot on his tail. Luigi dove under water with the monster close behind. Luigi had to think of something or he'd be a meal for sure. He spotted a large opening in the wall and swam towards it as fast as he could. Dragonzamasu shot a fireball at Luigi but he spinned to the left and it completely missed him. Luigi was now in a large tunnel filled with small pipes that could kill him if he crashed into him. Though Luigi had to dodge the stacks of pipes Dragonzamasu simply smashed through them because it was so huge. Luig made a sharp turn, his lungs where bursting but he had to stay away from the sea monster.
Not far away he could see the exit. He kicked his legs as fast as he could. Dragonzamasu smashed into one of the stacks causing one of the pipes to land in his hands. Luigi had finally made it out of the tunnel as he swam towards the surface. The Dragonzamasu almost had him when Luigi jumped out of the water and into the surface. The monster jumped out also and swallowed Luigi whole. " NOOOOOO!" Geno cried as the monster went back into the water. Toadette was now neck deep in water as the wonster turned around and headed towards her.
Luigi tumbled into the monster's belly. It was pink, gooey, halfway full of water, and of course smelly. He quickly stood up and tried to hand onto the speeding monster. He noticed the small aluminum pipe was stuck in the goo. He reached for it for he knew he was running out of time.
Samus turned back into her human form. " Is it dead?" Kari asked. She was soon answered when Flaahgra shot out of the flower. She knocked the light back to it's place then hissed at the heroes. " Did you have to ask?" Samus said as she jumped back into action. She shot a missle at another one but it did nothing. " Maybe youa have to do two this time?" Mario asked as he remained on the Yoshi for Flaahgra continued what she was doing. Kirby flew back and proceeded with his actions also. Being a pest. Flaahgra got annoyed very easily and swatted Kirby. This time she hit him as Kirby flew into the wall. She then focused her attention on Mario but not for long. Samus had hit another missle at the sunbeam. Flaahgra fell stunned once more.
" Let's finish this!" Samus said. " Look! There's another hole by me!" Kari yelled to her comrades. " Mea too!" Mario said. " Alright then! Let's all blast them with all we got. 1, 2,3!" Samus quickly turned into the morphball and dashed into the hole she then left another bomb the same time Kari shot a blast into her hole and Mario shot a fireball into his. Flaahgra soon caught on fire as she screeched in agony. Soon the whole flower caught on fire. Samus gathered with the other heroes as they watched all of Flaahgra turn into nothing but a large fireball. They heard nothing but her piercing screeches as the fire died out. Flaahgra was nothing but a crisp and Kirby had woken up. " Alright! We did it guys!" Kari yelled as the everyone cheered and jumped for joy. Kari soon spotted a DS symbol on the wall close by. Both she and Mario opened their DS as the symbol glowed. The same happened as last time, Mario and co. warped into the next world
In front of Peach's castle lied a large army of Chibobos, Beanies, and Shyguys. They were led by Cackletta, Wart, and Tatanga. " Take down the castle by any means neccessarry. I want Peach alive!" Cackletta said as the large army stood in front of the castle. High upon the castle walls a couple hundred guards readied their bows. " So... it begins." the general said.
Luigi grabbed the pipe out of the goo. He then focused all of his energy and charged an enormous fireball. Toadette was now completely underwater and Geno had no idea what to do. Luigi released the fireball as it burned the beast's insides. It spat Luigi into the air who turned around and chucked the pipe right at Dragonzamasu. It landed in it's mouth vertically forcing it's mouth to stay open. " Geno! Now! Use your lighning!" Luigi yelled. Geno know knew what was going on. He fired a lightning bolt and aimed directly for the pipe. Now I'm gonna teach you something so listen up! Since the pipe was aluminum it is like a lightning rod. You know what happens when lightning hits a road don't you. I'll give ya a little hint...
BZZZZAAAAP!
The monster looked like nothing but a ball of light as it screeched in pain. It soon fell into the water and sank to it's doom. Luigi gasped for breath but noticed Toadette was still underwater. He dove after her under the waves. He shot the chains with a fireball breaking them into pieces. He then grabbed Toadette who was out cold. He then swam towards the surface. He popped out gasping for breath as he dragged Toadette to shore.Toadette coughed out the water. " You alright?" Luigi asked. Toadette nodded in response as she tried to catch her breath. He soon heard weapons clashing and guards screaming. " It has begun! We must hurry Luigi!" Geno cried. " Ready fora what?" Luigi asked, quite confused.
" Peach's Castle is under attack"
