Treasures of Souls Chapter 12-2: The Mighty War against Koopas & Thieves!
Just as the gang had entered Nezuma's Quarters, they find Nezuma sitting at his desk awaiting the gang. They all had sat down as they were ready to hear what Nezuma had to say.
"Cielia, Mario, Luigi, Toad. We are soon to be at the peak of finally showing the Soul Thieves the error of their ways. All we need is the Final Soul Key, and with the help of the Soul Princess, we can finally end the Soul Thieve's Reign of Terror once & for all!!"
Mario jumps off his chair and raises his fist in the air shouting,
"WAHOO!!"
Cielia then gets up and says,
"And the faster we rid the world of the Soul Thieves, the sooner Fantasia can finally re-obtain it's peace!"
Toad then gets up and says,
"Then what are we waiting for?! Let's go Treasure Hunting!!"
Luigi then gets up with both fists in the air saying,
"YEAH!!"
Nezuma then got up and objected saying,
"Not so fast! There is something I must warn you all about."
The team was silent, then Nezuma said,
"I had recently taken a look at your map, and it would seem that the location of the last Soul Key is inside the fabled Fairee Ruins."
Cielia had gasped and said,
"Wait Daddy! Did you just say, the Fairee Ruins?"
Nezuma then sighed and said,
"Yes, I did say the Fairee Ruins."
Cielia had started to cry and said,
"B-but...but that's...that's where Mother had gone long ago to find the Fountain of Vitaliation..."
(The Fountain of Vitaliation is the item that Cielia's Mother went to find 2 years before the events of the story.)
Luigi then questionly said,
"Fountain of Vita...what?!"
Cielia then started to cry a little and said,
"The Fountain spoken of in Legend. It's said to have healed the innocents of their curse, or their sickness. My mother really wanted to find this holy fountain so she could help many of the Fantasians that were growing ill. But it's been two years since she & some of Fantasia's Soldiers had left to find it, and they haven't come back since. Sometimes I wonder if she's okay..."
Cielia then gasps and realizes something. She then turns to Mario and grabs him by the shoulders and pleads,
"Mario please, we have to find my mother!! Let's hurry & find her..."
"Cielia, this is no time for second trips." Objected Nezuma.
Cielia then looked at her father and says,
"What?! But father..."
Nezuma interrupted her again saying,
"Cielia, the Soul Thieves are still at large, and if they continue to roam our land, it's only a matter of time before we face death by the eyes."
Cielia then yelled,
"Father, how could you?! This is mother we're talking about! Haven't you once said that Family is the most important part of life?"
Nezuma was a little upset. In truth, he really missed his wife, but knew that now is not the time to go on a wild goose chase.
"I'm sorry Cielia, but there is nothing that can be done. The other Fantasians are wishing for the peace of our country. I hope you understand..."
Cielia knew that her persuasions couldn't help convince him this time, so she put her head down and said,
"Yes Daddy...I understand."
As Mario patted her shoulder to help ease her sorrow, Nezuma then said,
"Now then, as I was saying. You're going to have some trouble reaching the Fairee Ruins, as I had gotten reports about a huge fight going on within the valley that leads there. I advise you to proceed with caution, alright?"
Mario told Nezuma that they'd make sure to be careful. He the flapped his Raccoon Tail and made a dash out the window. Then the other three had left the building following Mario. After they left, Nezuma had his head down and prayed.
"Oh my dear Sierra, I apologize for turning on you like this. But it's for the sake of our Country, so please, forgive me...my love..."
Sometime later, the gang were seen walking through the Fantasian Valley, heading for the Fairee Ruins. Cielia was a little nervous and asked Mario.
"Um...Mario. Even though my Father said no...I was hoping...maybe you'd help me find Mother?"
Mario didn't mind at all, and told Cielia that he'd help. Cielia then gasped and said,
"You really mean it?!"
Mario nodded in acceptance. Cielia then hugged Mario and said,
"Oh thank you Mario!! I knew I could count on you."
Then as they walked a bit more ways, explosions could be heard. The noticed and Luigi asked the gang,
"Yo, you guys hear that?"
Cielia could hear them too. Then she said,
"Well, Daddy did say there was a huge fight going on around here. We better keep a low profile guys."
As they got closer, they eventually saw the trouble that was going on. It was a fight between the Soul Theives & the Koopa Klan!! There were a bunch of Koopas, Goombas, Shy-Guys, & Soul-Thieve Minions duking it out on each other. There were also two huge battleships in the sky that belonged to the repsected people (S.S. Soulship and The Doomship). The gang then hid in a bush so they wouldn't be detected. Toad was shocked about this and said,
"Guys, it seems the Soul Thieves & the Koopas are going out on each other!"
Luigi the wonders to himself,
"I wonder what they're fighting about..."
Then a voice could be heard on a loudspeaker coming from the Soulship. It was Saria yelling,
"You might as well give up you meddlesome Koopa! Mario is my target, and you are interfering with my mission!!"
Then Bowser was speaking on his loudspeaker saying,
"Forget it slut-face!! Mario is my enemy & my enemy alone!! So back off before I come over there and roast you!!"
Meanwhile, inside the Soulship, a certain voice said,
"You both might as well shut yer traps! Mario will come for me & kick both yer asses all the way to the curb!!"
The voice came from a young Princess with brown hair & a yellow/orange dress with flowers on it.
(I think we all know who that is, but I'll shut my trap about it for now)
Saria then looked behind her as she looked at the Princess she tied up to her chair. Saria then took her sword out and pointed it at the Princess.
"You're a lovely looking princess my dear, but you talk too much. Now keep that mouth of yours zipped up or you'll be less one head."
Meanwhile, outside the Battleship, Cielia then says,
"They must be fighting to prove which one is more worthy to fight Mario! But at the rate this is going, the valley will be blown to smithereens!! Mario, we've got to stop them before things get out of control!"
Mario knew what to do, and he bolted out of the bushes and into the air. Cielia then yelled,
"WAIT MARIO!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Luigi then tells Cielia,
"Relax Cielia. Mario knows what to do. I mean, how do you think we got those six soul keys in the first place?"
Mario flew all the way up in the air and was flying between both Battleships. He then looked at the Soul Ship & pulled a goofy look on his face.
"WH-WHAT THE?!" gasped a confused Saria.
Then he turned his head to the Doomship and started slapping his little booty in the Doomship's face.
"HUH?!" growled a confused Bowser.
Mario then looked back at the Soulship. Saria chuckled a bit and said,
"Ahh...Mario. I had a feeling you'd show up. Now then, just stay right where you are so I can give you your death wish."
"BACK OFF LADY!! If anyone's giving Mario the death wish, it's gonna be ME!!" Roared an angry Bowser.
Bowser then pushes a certain button and he shoots two bullet bills heading straight for Mario. Mario yawns a little and ducks. The two bullet bills then head for, and eventually hit Saria's Soulship. The ship shakes a bit from the blast, then Saria says,
"Grr...so you like to play games huh? Fine then Mr. Game Boy!! Two can play at this game!!"
Saria then pushes a certain button and two Bob-ombs are launched at hyper speed. Mario dodges the oncoming Bob-ombs and they head straight for Bowser's Doomship, eventually exploding on it's extiorer. Bowser was down right mad and yelled,
"OKAY, THAT'S IT!! YOU'VE ASKED FOR IT LIGUINE-LIPS!!"
Bowser then shoved his foot on the gas-petal, & and immediatly dashed to ram Mario. However, Mario was one smart cookie, and flew right behind the Soulship, thus the Doomship collides with the Soulship. Saria was plain disgusted and said,
"YOU SCALE BRAINED BUFFOON!! YOU'RE GONNA REGRET RAMMING INTO MY PRECIOUS SOULSHIP!!"
However, what Saria didn't realize is that the Princess she captured somehow escaped her prison. The Princess pushes Saria aside and talks on the mic saying,
"Mario, can you hear me? Hurry and get me out of here!!"
Mario instantly recognized that voice. He then gets mad and grinds his teeth at the thought that Saria had captured an innocent friend of his, then he instantly crashes through the front window of the Soulship into Saria's Quarters. Saria then gets up (after being pushed by the Princess). She notices Mario and says,
"What do you think you're doing here you pasta pulveriser?!"
Mario then demands the freedom of his friend. Saria starts to get angered, huffing & puffing, she then said,
"Your friend doesn't matter now. You've ticked me off for the last time!!"
Saria then pulls out her sword and gets it ready. Mario notices this and pulls a fighting stance.
"I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH YOUR FUTILE RESISTANCE!! NOW I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW TERRIFYING I CAN REALLY BE!!"
Saria then jumps in the air with her sword held up high.
"YOU'RE TIME IS UP MARIO!! SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR WORTHLESS LIFE!!"
However, just before she kills Mario, the same Princess comes in front of Mario, surprisingly with a megaphone in hand. She then lifts it to her mouth and yells out...
"HI I'M DAISY!!"
The blast was so tremendous, it knocked Saria back to where she jumped. Infact, it was so stressful, Saria was out cold! Afterwards, the same Princess who saved Mario says,
"Come on Mario, let's get out of here!"
The Princess jumps into Mario's Arms, and Mario starts flapping his tail to get out of there. Only one problem...
"NOT SO FAST!! WE STILL HAVE A SCORE TO SETTLE MARIO!!"
Bowser was still active on his Doomship. However, Mario was a bit annoyed and decided to do one simple thing. He shoots a fireball on the Doomship. And since the Doomship is 95 wood, it catches on fire!xD
The flames had pretty much burned down most of the Doomship. And since it got totaled (as also did Bowser), the Doomship falls down to the ground. With Bowser in soot, he calls on his Koopa Klown Kar and makes an escape.
"GRRR!! DAMMIT MARIO!! DON'T THINK THIS IS OVER!! I'LL BE BACK TO GET YOU SOMEDAY!!"
And with that, Bowser and his minions had left the scene. Also, Mario travels away from the area, with his friends on the ground in pursuit. And thus ends our chapter for today!:3
End of Chapter!!
