Super Mario: An Equestrial Adventure
Chapter 14: Solving The Secrets Of Equestria
Fluttershy's Perspective:
I want to apologize to Luigi for leaving him like that. But if he isn't a pony, what will I be getting us into? When I saw him below, he was heading to my cottage. I tried calling for him, but he couldn't hear me. I flew down to him, and he turned and saw me.
"Fluttershy?" he asked.
"Yes." I flew down to him.
"What is it?"
"I want to apologize for flying off like that. It's just-"
"You thought I was a pony."
I stopped and looked down, "Yes."
"It's okay, Luigi. I don't really care anymore if you're a pony or not." I noticed him look back up at me.
"Thanks."
"What are you doing in front of my home?" I asked him.
He immediately stopped at looked back. "Oh. This is your house?"
"Why, yes. Is there a problem?"
"No. I just didn't know you lived outside Ponyville." He looked at Ponyville then back to my house. "Why?"
"Because I'm just afraid I won't blend in with society."
"Don't worry." He looked at me. "I don't care what people think of me." Luigi laughed, "Do you know how many people forget my name?"
I looked down, "Uh, no." I looked back at him, "What? How many?"
"Almost everyone." He stopped and sat down, moping. "Almost everyone. They'd call me Green Mario, or Mario's Secret Green Clone, a Mario impostor, and even Mario's Green Shadow."
"Oh. I'm sorry they did this to you."
"Thanks, Fluttershy. But they aren't."
I stopped and remembered. Ponyville is being destroyed. Changelings on the loose. "Uh, Luigi?"
"Yeah?"
"Ponyville. It's-"
He instantly got up, "You're right. The Changelings. Come on."
I hope nothing bad has happened to anypony left there.
Mario's Perspective:
Queen Chrysalis opened a hole in the bubble, letting herself in. When she entered, she closed it behind her. I could tell she saw me and Rainbow Dash and quickly created shackles, pinning us to the floor. She looked at me and laughed,
"Don't think you can try to escape in such a small matter of time. And right in front of me."
"What do you want from us anyway?"
"You two, a few other ponies," Chrysalis growled under her breath, "and a small worthless green dinosaur, are plotting to rebel against your new leader. I, Queen Chrysalis, am taking over Equestria."
Suddenly, something crashed through a wall in the hallway. I heard it, and it sounded heavy. Like a giant cannonball. Then I knew what it was, by it's growling and muttering. Bowser. But what is he doing here? He probably took over the Mushroom Kingdom. I could hear his footsteps approaching the door to this room. When he looked in, he was quite surprised.
"Well, this is where the other captives are held." He laughed, "Taking Equestria for myself is going to be way too easy." He stopped, and looked closely at me. With a much louder laugh, he bellowed, "And Mario is already captured. As well as a small blue pegasus and,"
"Enough. I'm already taking over Equestria," Queen Chrysalis yelled.
"Nice ruling there. Considering you're trapped in your own bubble." Bowser immediately started cracking up. "What happened? Trap gone wrong?" He was almost choking on his laughter until Queen Chrysalis exits the bubble, pins him to the wall, and yells right in his face,
"Shut up. Just, shut up."
Bowser's laughing ceased.
"I AM the ruler of Equestria. And I can enter and exit the bubbles I create with ease. I was simply about to interrogate them" with one hoof, she points at the hole in the wall, "until you rudely crashed right into my castle."
"I- I'm sorry, your Majesty. I thought-" Bowser completely embarrassed himself.
"You thought you could just come in here and take it all for yourself." She nearly spat on him, "You barbarian." With her magic power, she immobilized him and threw him right in the bubble. He chuckled,
"Nice try, Chrysalis. But I can get out of here as well. With my-" Bowser stopped, looked at his empty hands and looked on the ground in the hallway. He squeaked, "My DSEPA."
"Excuse me. Your "DSEPA" isn't going to help you now, you clumsy oaf."
"Ooh, why I oughta-"
"You what? You can't do anything now. So why don't you just sit back, relax and have a nice little chat with your old friend." Queen Chrysalis walked away with Bowser's staff.
"Nice job, Bowser. You just gave her Equestria AND the Mushroom Kingdom." I glared at my rival.
"Can it will you? It's not like she knows how to use it. Why, that so-called "queen" is about as smart as a potato."
Just then, Queen Chrysalis came back and created a portal with the DSEPA. She stared back at Bowser,
"I knew it. You stole some of my powers from me and use them with this stick. When I'm done with you, this goes back to its rightful owner. Me." The portal led straight to Bowser's Castle, and she just walked right through it, closing the portal behind her.
"Oh, crap." Bowser's eyes widened.
"Yeah." I muttered, "As smart as a potato."
Rainbow Dash said sarcastically, "Nice. You even stole her powers to annihilate the Mushroom Kingdom." She started yelling at Bowser, "Thanks to you, fatty, you just let Queen Chrysalis take the entire dimension."
"Ah. You know of Equestria and the Mushroom Kingdom."
"EVERYPONY DOES!" She screamed.
"Why did you seal Equestria away?" I asked him.
"Well, the truth is I never thought citizens of each area would get along. Ponies and Toads." He chuckled. "And, I never really liked ponies. They're too wierd and multi-colored."
"Racist." Rainbow Dash said.
"So I split the two apart."
"You split them apart so you can claim a smaller region first, liar." Rainbow Dash stopped, then looked at me. "But the dimensions were split about 400 years ago."
"What?" Bowser stammered. "That's not. There's no way- That's just rubbish. Hear me little pegasus? Rubbish."
"The dimensions were split apart 400 years ago." I agreed with Dash. "By an evil Koopa king with a magical staff. And somewhere in Equestria there was a mystical pond that if you drank it's water, you're granted eternal life."
"What does that have to do with-"
Me and Dash looked at Bowser and knew he was lying to us. He drank from the pond himself. And split the dimensions 400 years ago.
"Okay fine. So I drank the water. What I don't understand is when I had a militia of Koopas kidnap Yoshis and use them as slaves. And this isn't genocide you two, keep it in mind. When they caught and killed three rebellious Yoshis, an old magician and a married couple," He sighed. "How is Yoshi still alive as well? It was 400 years ago." He stopped and said, "When the rebels were caught, one Koopa reported to me a portal into Equestria, and in it he saw Princess Luna, and she was holding Yoshi. Back when he was a baby."
Now Yoshi has immortality as well. I think that when Luna raised him, she took him to the pond, and gave him some of the water. And when she sent him back to the Mushroom Kingdom, that was the time Luigi and I first met him. We were walking through a field with Peach and Toad when a portal opened before us and he stumbled through. He looked the same as when I last saw him. That's it. When I last saw him, was when we fell through the portal and we got split up in the forest. Now I'm wondering, is he all right?
