Music Super Mario Sunshine: Delfino Plaza
We couldn't believe it. After all the shocking moments we had, it was unbelieveable. Everything was normal.
"No way!" I yelled.
"It is!" Accelerator yelled. "There is nothing shocking for us to deal with!"
"Well, I guess we had better go back to Ricco Harbour then." I said, turning around.
"Yeah, let's go." Accelerator said, and we both jumped into the portal.

We landed in Ricco Harbour, and immediately caught sight of Shadow Mario in front of us.
"IT'S IT!" I yelled. "GET IT!"
IT ran off up the ship, and we followed. We chased it up the ship, over it, and onto the area with the fountain. Before it could get too far ahead, I sprayed it with as much water as I could, but it wasn't enough to stop it, as it managed to keep running. We followed it around the fountain, and it kept running around the fountain, so we ran around the fountain, as it ran around the fountain, so we kept following it...
Five minutes later
"Huff...weeze...Stupid Shadow Mario..." I gasped.
"Maybe we should try stopping and waiting for it to run into us!" Accelerator said, getting agitated. We waited for a few seconds, and Shadow Mario ran near us, saw that we were in front of us, and turned around to try to run off.
"Not so...gasp...fast!" I wheezed, spraying more water at it. It fell over.
"Curse you!" It yelled, and disappeared, leaving behind a Shine Sprite.
"I hate Shadow Mario..." I muttered.
"Don't we all?" Accelerator asked. We grabbed the Shine Sprite, and were sent back to Delfino Plaza.

We landed in Delfino Plaza.
"Well, that's us finished Ricco Harbour." I said. "Where to next?"
"Hey, shouldn't there be a lighthouse over there?" Accelerator asked, pointing towards the other side of Delfino Plaza.
"Really?" I asked. "I don't remember one."
*Smack*
"Pay attention idiot." Accelerator said.
"Ow...fine fine, shall we go investigate?" I asked, but he had already set off. "Lovely..."
We walked past several buildings, and noticed that there was only the occasional broken one, but most of them were being fixed.
"I guess Delfino Plaza is almost up and running again." I said.
"Yeah, but the amount of lives that were lost during the attack..." Accelerator mumbled.
"Yeah..." I said, hanging my head down.
"Well, no point dwelling on the past." Accelerator said. "We have to get the next area completed."
"I suppose so." I said, lifting my head.
We walked past the Pianta statue, and continued walking until we went around the corner. We were about to start walking past the fruit stands, but we saw that the lighthouse was indeed gone, and there was a large amount of black goop where it used to stand. To make matters worse, purple gas was leaking from the ooze.
"Oh no, it's the frenzy..." I muttered.
"Frenzy?" Accelerator asked.
"Back in Bianco Hills, the second battle against Petey Piranha went bad because it was infected wth this thing called the 'frenzy'. It essentially made it stronger, faster and more violent, as well as the purple gas you can see coming off of the ooze covered the area, making it very hard to see. We defeated it, but the frenzy virus infected me, causing my dark side to be unleashed, and then a follow-up chapter to deal with that." I explained.
"Ooooooh." Accelerator said. "So if we aren't careful, your dark side gets unleashed again."
"Yes, but we also have to be careful of the goop monster, since it will be a lot stronger and more vicious than before." I said.
We walked towards the pile of goop, and sprayed water at it until the head rose up.

The fight began almost immediately, as the goop monster immediately began spitting large chunks of goop at us. We dodged them and were about to attack, when it began another volley of shots. We had to keep dodging, as it didn't let up, chaining each set of shots one after the other.
"How are we going to defeat it?" I asked, dodging a shot.. "We can't even get a hit in!"
"Grr...if I could just prepare my power, I could launch them back..." Accelerator growled, ducking under a shot.
"Maybe if one of us dodges one way, and one of us dodges the other..." I said.
"I'll go left, you go right." Accelerator said, preparing himself.
As soon as the next volley of shots were heading towards us, Accelerator dodged to the left and I dodged to the right. The goop monster got confused, and aimed at Accelerator, giving me a chance to hit it. I grabbed the toggles on SQUIRT, and fired water straight into it's mouth, causing it to recoil. It got mad and began firing again, but Accelerator and I dodged around the shots and repeated this process two more times, and it was defeated...or so we thought. It sank down for a few seconds, but rose back up not long after. This time, however, it was much taller compared to before, towering over us.
"...Shit..." I muttered.
"Holy crap...it's tall..." Accelerator muttered, as both of us backed away.
It was easily as tall as the nearby buildings, and it was growing. We had to quickly get out of there, and we only just managed to make it onto the beach. We kept running as fast as possible until we reached the other side of the beach. We turned around and saw that it had grown so tall that we couldn't easily fight it.
"What do we do now?" I asked.
"I don't know...wait, I have an idea. Distract it and I will deal with it." Accelerator said, and ran off.
"...Okay...?" I questioned, and climbed up a nearby building. Once I was on top, I ran across the rooftops until I was near the beast, and looked directly at it. "BRING IT ON, OH LORD OF THE OOZE! I FEAR NOTHING, LEAST OF ALL YOUR PATHETIC SELF." Goop tentacles began to rise up. "...Uh-oh..."
I ran across the rooftops as the tentacles slammed down on them behind me, sending tiles flying all over the place. I couldn't see the ground due to the purple gas being emitted, which did little for my vertigo. The purple gas was very slowly rising. I shook my head and kept running and turned right when I got to the end of the row of houses. I continued running, but didn't realize that these houses were still under construction, and I mis-stepped and fell inside, crashing through both floors and hitting the ground hard.
"OW, MY BACK!" I yelled in pain, struggling to move.
I tried to move my head, but couldn't. I couldn't see anything either, as the purple gas was already several feet above me, meaning I was breathing it in. All I could think about was Darkion getting out again, and my mind began to drift away from reality.
Third person
"PEEKITY-BOO, I'M HERE TO KILL YOU!" Accelerator roared, before Draog could fully drift away. He smashed into the goop monster, grabbing onto it's head and reversing the flow of goop inside of it, causing it to shiver and dissolve, leaving behind no traces of goop. "WOOHOO, THIS IS MORE LIKE IT!" He yelled, dancing around causing anything he touched to fly into the houses and buildings, shattering multiple windows and leaving several holes in the walls. The purple gas was dissapating, and Drago came staggering out of the semi-build house he had fallen into.

"Accelerator...please...control yourself..." He muttered, staggering all over the place. "Please..." Accelerator turned to him.
"But it's so fuuuuuun!" He laughed, dancing around. "Why should I stop?"
"You're...losing control...of...yourself..." Drago muttered, staggering into the Pianta statue.
"EEEHEEEEEHEEEHEEEE! ISN'T THAT THE FUN PART?" Accelerator yelled. Drago stood up properly.
"RAAAARRRGH!" Drago yelled, breaking into a sprint and punching Accelerator that hard, he flew back several metres. His body bounced along the ground and came to a stop, as Drago sunk to knees.
"Uh...wow, that wasn't planned...oh well." Accelerator said, picking himself up. "Thanks for pulling me out of that, by the way."
"No...problem..." Drago said, trying not to fall over. Suddenly, he began to slowly rise up. "No...no...please no, not you Darkion..." Accelerator looked at him.
"How do we stop this?" He yelled, running over to him.
"You can't." Drago said. Out of nowhere, Blaze came running around the corner.
"THERE YOU ARE!" He yelled. "Quick, inject him with this!" Blaze said, tossing a needle at Accelerator. He grabbed it and injected Drago in the arm.
"Huh? I'm...not changing..." He muttered, surprised.
"Darien's been working on it since Darkion first appeared. It removes all traces of the frenzy from your system." Blaze explained. "Cons: it only works at the moment it is injected into you,, so we will need to use another one everytime we defeat a frenzied boss. Pros: Darien gave me enough to last us until Sunshine has been completed."
"Convenient..." Accelerator mumbled.
"Well, I guess we can now move on." Drago said. "...Hey, do you think that the lighthouse has returned?"
"Why don't we go and check?" Accelerator said.
The three of them walked in the direction of the lighthouse. They turned left and walked past the fruit stalls, then walked across the beach to reach the lighthouse, which was indeed back. They walked in front of it and found another 'm' painted on it. Drago sprayed it, and they jumped into it, ready to get more Shine Sprites.
Back at the mansion...
"If you had got another rubbish doctor, I would have hit you until you were unconcious." Mizu growled.
"Hey, he's better now!" Darien said, slowly edging out of the room.
"Grr..." Mizu growled.
Next time...
Blaze is back! Him, Drago and Accelerator head to Gelato Beach, for some sun, sea and sand! But wait...what is that thing doing on the legendary Sand Bird egg...?
