Chapter 3:

Expedition Or Explosion

Mario and his friends decided to sit on a seat away from Locus. The train car that they were in had a nice blue carpet going along the floor and the seats were green along with their being tables where the seats were. Locus looked over at them giving them all a glare and turns away to talk to Electro, Mario looked out of the window to see the landscape that passed by. Trixie then got up from her seat and gave a grin as she goes over to where Locus and the others were. Locus looked at Trixie with a glare " What do you want?" Locus asked harshly.

Trixie gave a nervous look but shaked it off. " Well I know earlier we got off the wrong um...hand..But! I was hoping we can try to be friends!"

Locus rolled her eyes at Trixie. " No..You're annoying go away."

Mario and the others look over to Trixie and Locus. Flamzy sighed as Trixie continued to talk with Locus " How much longer until she get's the point."

Goombling looked at Flamzy with a confused look " Which one are you talking about."

" Locus."

Mario then asked Flamzy " What point do you mean?"

" No matter how much you try Trixie will continue to try and be your friend no matter what you try."

Goombling chuckled " Yes she does, remember Beansley?"

Mario remembered how Trixie and Beansley acted towards each other. " He may of been rude to us...But he was slightly nicer towards Trixie."

Flamzy gave a confused look " Okay I just been going along what you guys been saying but who's Beansley?"

" He's a Beanish that worked for Trixie's boss. He was pretty rude but showed a slightly kind side towards Trixie but he still yelled at her." Mario answered.

Flamzy chuckled " Weird way to show that you care."

Trixie walked back over give a grin on her face which confused the others " Guys! Great news I made friends with Sammy,Heaz-Up and Electro! Now I just need to get Peeper and Locus to accept my friendship!"

Trixie giggled as she sat down onto her seat and her friends just laughed at her antics. They all stopped laughing as they heard a voice from a speaker.

Attention all will be stopping at Nimbus Canyon shortly I hope you enjoyed your train ride...

Mario and his friends cheered before they could continue the whole train shakes causing them all to fall off their seats except Flamzy,Locus and Peeper as they all had confused faces. Sammy went into his shell shaking " W-What was that?!"

Locus growled "Stupid train driver probably hit some idiot."

They then heard something bang against the top of the train. " Or maybe were in the middle of some kind of train robbery." Mario stated as the noise started to move away from them.

Goombling says " Well we should go after them so no one get's hurt."

Mario nodded along with their friends before they headed off Locus yelled " HOLD IT!"

" As your boss were going together cause I doubt that you four could handle this by yourselves."

Mario and the others reluctantly let Locus and her team join them as they travel along the train as they ran through each train cart as they got closer and closer to the engine. They heard a loud banging sound above as they looked upwards to see a dent being made above them. Mario and the others backed away from where the dent was as they saw the dent getting bigger and bigger then whatever was breaking through the top finally broke through. What came through the top was a Broozer who was wearing a black fedora and a dark blue tie and another figure followed afterwards. One of them was a Bomb Boo she was wearing vizor hat. She grinned at Mario and the others " Oh? Who do we have here? A bunch of people trying to play hero? That's cute."

The Bomb Boo sets herself right on top of the Broozer " Playing the hero won't get you far. Honestly it just lead you to your doom after all...You do know where the train is heading now right?"

Mario and the others gave confused faces at each other Sammy gulped " Isn't heading to Nimbus Canyon?"

The Bomb Boo grinned " Oh why yes it was."

Mario glared at the Bomb Boo " What do you mean?"

She laughed " Oh! Why this is just so good of a plan why don't you tell them dear?"

The Broozer grinned along with the Bomb Boo " We switched the tracks and now...It's heading towards...Your end game..."

Mario and the others jumped in suprised expect Peeper who rolled his eyes and started to leave the group to that Locus yelled " Where do you think you're going?!"

"Off this train."

" I'm your boss!"

" Not when the train reaches your end game."

Locus's eye twitched and growled as she grabbed Pepper by his cape. " Oh no you don't!"

" I'm a ghost I won't meet my end game I already did."

The Bomb Boo laughed " My this is really entertaining isn't it dear?"

The Broozer gave a thumbs up to her. The Bomb Boo grinned " Well I guess before we depart we might as well tell you pretenders our names. I'm Bootiful the most beautiful or should I say Bootiful Boo ever and this strong Broozer right here is my boyfriend he calls himself Bruise. But now we must depart ta ta! See you if you become ghosts or maybe not."

Then Bruise and Bootiful climbed through the top of roof Locus growled as she was still holding onto Peeper's cape " Great! Just perfect!"

Mario looked over at the others who started panicking. Mario tried to calm them down " Hey everyone calm down we need to get everyone off this train!"

Trixie looked over at Mario " Got it!"

Trixie then ran into the other train carts yelling " EVERYONE GET OFF THE TRAIN RIGHT NOW ELSE YOU WANT TO MEET YOUR END GAME WERE GONNA MEET OUR END GAME IF WE DON'T GET OFF THIS TRAIN RIGHT NOW!"

Mario and his friends laughed a bit at Trixie's antics before heading over towards the train's door Goombling and Flamzy take a peek outside through the door to see the train was heading towards an unstable bridge " Gah! That bridge can't hold the train's weight! Everyone hurry!"

Goombling shaked his body " Ok no time to panic is Trixie done getting everyone?"

Locus scoffed " I'm not leaving with out my supplies!"

Everyone gave a glare at Locus which shutted her up. Mario sighed as he saw Trixie running back with a huge group of people behind her. She grinned at them " That's everyone guys!"

Mario looked out of the train door just to see a dark abyss below he sighed and turned to everyone in the train " Ok looks like we have no choice everyone get ready to jump!"

Mario was the first one to jump out of the train followed by Goombling,Trixie,Flamzy and the others on the train. Most of the people were screaming as they fell while some were trying to remain calm. As they entered the abyss.

Nimbus Abyss

Mario and group landed in a huge lake Goombling started panicking as he struggled to stay above the water Mario lifted him above the water while Flamzy kept above the water not wanting for his fire to go out. So all of them helped each other each land and once they did Locus started yelling " Great! I lost my supplies! Were stuck in this stupid place! Also I have a job to do!"

Everyone in the room just rolled their eyes at Locus. Peeper went over to Locus and hits her across the face " How dare you!"

" How dare I do what everyones thinking?" Peeper said in his deadpan tone.

While Peeper and Locus got into a onesided argument the other rational people started to think what to do. Flamzy started a fire on the ground with some sticks Trixie had in her hat. As they sat around the fire Mario asked " Any plans on how to get out of here?"

Trixie raised her sheet hand with glee. " Yes Trixie?"

" How about we stack each other and make a ladder!"

Flamzy rolled his eyes at the idea " We would fall Trixie and get seriously we don't have that many people to make a ladder that tall and I don't think your clones would be enough either"

" Aww I thought it was a good idea! I mean it sounded like a good idea at first but you're right I can't make that many clones only up to five that's how many clones I can make at once."

Electro screeched and everyone just gave a confused look at him. Trixie stood up with pride " Don't worry guys! With my dad being a Smorg I can understand a this language!"

Trixie got down to Electro's eye level. " Alright now you were saying?"

Electro let out some screeches and growls and Trixie nodded and stood up " Ok so he said we should be more concern about that thing hanging from the ceiling."

Trixie realizing what Electro told her turned around in fright to look at Electro " Wait what!?"

They all looked up to see a figure hanging above them causing most of them to yelp in figure above them opened up what looked like larged wings as it flew down as it landed right in front of them causing the ground to slightly shake causing some of the to tumble a creature had blue fur and a dark blue fur around it's neck it raised up it's dark blue wings with claws at the end of it's wings it slammed down it's tail right onto the ground it had spikes on it's tail as it hiss and screeched at the group. Mario pulled out his hammer ready to fight this pulled out his tablet to try and see what it was he gulped when he read what it said " Um...Mario I think we shouldn't fight it."

" Why?"

"Well since we don't really have much light here so we'll have a bad disadvantage and the fact it says it's wings can create strong winds with it's wings so I think we should run for now!"

Mario looked back at the creature and sighed as he puts away his hammer and yells " Everyone run for it!"

"You don't have to tell us twice!" One of the train riders yelled as they started to run ahead.

Which they were followed by other people as they heard a loud screech and Mario turned his head to look back to see the creature who now had gone airborne to chase after them. Flamzy lit up a bit more so they could see where they were going and they saw two tunnels up yelled at the group " Ok losers!Follow me if you want to live!"

Peeper replied " I think following you is worse then getting an end game."

" Shut it!As the leader of the group I say left!"

Mario and his friends had an annoyed expression on their faces as they heard something like crumbling they all look up to see the creature trying to pull some stone out of the ceiling with it's mouth and it succeeded as it throwed the ripped out stone at group which they were lucky to be able to dodge they got closer to the tunnels as another stone came flying down as it knocked some of the others into the right tunnel and the rest of the other into the left tunnel and two more stones came falling down blocking the tunnel looked back at the stones which was now blocking the entrance he sighed and looked at the ones who were with saw Locus,Trixie,Sammy,Electro and some of the other passengers with him Locus slammed her grappling hook onto the ground "Great! Just perfect! Were stuck in this stupid place with a bunch of idiots!"

Everyone in the tunnel just gave annoyed looks at Locus Mario sighed " I hope the others are ok."

Meanwhile

Flamzy looked around to see who he was stuck with and he saw Goombling who was trying to get up as he was on his head with his feet hanging in the air. Heaz-Up went over to him and pushed him over a bit that lets him get up and he smiles at her " Thanks Heaz-Up."

She laughed " No problem!But what a tragedy were trapped!But I guess back to you Fire boy!"

Flamzy gave an annoyed look " It's Flamzy not Fire Boy."

Goombling rolled his eyes and looked over at the others that they were trapped with " Okay look we have no choice but to move forward guys so be on guard because who knows what kinds of trouble we could run into in this cave and who knows if we'll meet that creature again."

Flamzy nodded as he flared up to produce a bit more light " Okay everyone follow us!"
