Welcome to the next Chapter! WE got more reviews than usual. Thanks. Please review this, and please post on the board. WE do not own Mario… except for…for…WE got nothing.

Warning: Blood

Eldstar's Sanctuary part 3

Mario Sr. approached his old friend, Yoshi, who was large enough to have his own Zip Code. During a battle, Yoshi had been mutated and now resembled a Blargg-like, giant Yoshi.

"Worried?" Yoshi asked, Mario shook his head, "Family wouldn't shut up?" Mario nodded. "Don't freak out about it. Peach is a tactician, never on the battlefield. Luigi just hasn't developed the 'Dad instinct' that says when kids can handle themselves. Ya can't blame'em. After all, this is a big battle!"

"Yeah," Mario Sr. agreed, "It is. Words of wisdom."

Back at the arena…

The battle had just begun. Mario began by jumping on the left head and hammering it between the eyes. It was only dazed for a second, and tossed Mario off by throwing back its head. Mario hit hard ground while Roy punched the head's exposed neck.

Both heads hacked up blood, which splattered all over Yoshun. Wendy launched her bladed rings at the right neck, but the beast blocked with its tail, then slammed it into Yoshil, who was attempting to attack from behind.

Bowser Jr. jumped onto the Beast's back and painted an X, where Toadwar cut moments later.

The beast roared in pain, throwing back its head, exposing the neck.

Morton jumped on and held the left head back, his strength kicking in.

Luigi rushed over to Mario, and Mario jumped onto Luigi's shoulders, Luigi Jumped, and they spun in the air, levitating like a helicopter. Then, Luigi electrified it, turning them into an electric tornado. Then, they turned the pointed end at the beast, and burst forward.

"Thunder Drill!" They yelled, drilling through the left neck, cutting it off. But also Killing Morton.

Now there was only one head, and they knew how to get rid of it. Yoshil, Yoshun, and Yosha, threw a barrage of bomb eggs at the neck stump, then the Koopalings breathed fire into it, while Toadwar made a bigger hole.

The result was obvious. They only barely escaped the explosion.

Mario walked up to Eldstar, and held his arm up in shallow victory.

Bowser Jr. looked up at Eldstar with hatred, "Your beast killed my brother!"

Eldstar chuckled, "Do you think I would let death stain the land of Star Road. All the troops out there, Morton, they are over there!"

Mario looked up at the stadium spectator seats. They were filled now, and Morton was in one of them. Everyone was cheering "We Won! We Won!"

"My power is yours!" Eldstar proclaimed, "For noble use only! Here is the symbol of it, the Eldstar Amulet!"

Mario took it and smiled; he couldn't wait to get back home.

One day later…

Everyone was celebrating. The first Star Spirit had been obtained, with zero casualties. Mario Sr. had the greatest praise to say.

"A toast, to my boys, Bowser's kids, Yoshi's kids, Toadsworth's grandson, and all of you, for a job well done! Not that I'm surprised, I knew you could do it all along!"
