Chapter 9: Very Important Creature

The storm was also happening in The Great Mushroom Valley Kingdom. Everyone was at the meeting (Witch is a circle of rocks) place as Mama Flyer showed up.

(Mama Flyer) I can't find the young ones or Mario and the others anywhere.

(Grandma Longneck) Oh my. They must have gone after Ducky themselves.

(Papa Swimmer) Of course they did. They saw us just standing here arguing with Topps.

(Topps) Are you saying that this is my fault?

Everyone nodded.

(Papa Swimmer) But what can we do now? We'll never find it on land. Not in weather like this.

(?) Maybe I can help you.

Everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the meeting place. There was what looked like a Pteranodon. But bigger than normal. His head was yellow and his wings were blue.

(Papa Swimmer) Who are you?

(Mama Flyer) I know who that is. He's my long lost mate.

Indeed. If he's Mama Flyer's mate, Then he's Petrie's Father.

(Papa Flyer) I was just flying by until I heard you talk about your missing children. So I thought I'd help out.

(Grandpa Longneck) Well we thank you for coming to assist us.

(Mama Flyer) I'm going to. I'm sure the children are on Three-horn Peak.

(Papa Flyer) Then that's where we're going.

So the 2 Flyers took off for Three-horn Peak.

The storm already started at the place Pterano and the other Flyers were at. They were flying around the place like crazy because of the wind.

(Rinkus) Oh. I can't see a thing.

(Sierra) Ah come om Rinkus. Are you scared over a little Sky-water?

(Rinkus) It's not the Sky-water that worries me. It's the Sky-fire.

At that response, a streak of lightning almost struck them.

(Pterano) Quickly. Head for the mountain.

So they flew to a nearby mountain with a small cave in it. However, they all bumped into each other and landed on their bellies.

(Sierra) Nice going Pterano.

(Pterano) I got us down. Didn't I? Oh I hope the children will find cover.

(Sierra) Ah who cares about them? Once we take over, the first thing we'll do is feed those over grown eggs to the Sharp-teeth.

(Pterano) S-S-Sharp-teeth?

At that response, a streak of lightning came to add to the droma.

(Pterano) You know what. I'm sorry I've ever met you. Go on. Shoo. I don't need you anymore.

Pterano then started to sing a song that came into his head.

(Pterano) I've never needed anyone. I'll go my way alone. I'll use my own intelligence, to find that magical stone.

(Sierra) Oh no. You ain't cutting us out you crazy. Come here and fight.

(Rinkus) Please friends. We should not be fighting. We all want the same thing, yes? To have the power of the stone, which we must still find, yes?

(Sierra) Yes. Sorry. Guess I got a little out of line. After all Pterano. You are the leader.

(Pterano) Yes. I'm a very important creature. Tremendously brave and strong. I find that I am frequently right. When others are often wrong. Instead of arguing blindley, they should open their eyes and see that the one who will bring them paradise, is the very important me.

(Sierra) He sure is hard on himself ain't he?

(Pterano) I'm a fabulous fearsome Flyer. I handle life with furness. When others say no, it can't be so. my answer is always yes. I was born to be their saviour. That is my destiny. Why do they dispose? Not recognise the truly fantastic me. Some of us are born to lead. While the rest of you must follow.

(Sierra) I'd like to knock him off his perch.

(Rinkus) This is getting hard to swallow.

(Pterano) Look at these wings. Look at this beak.

(Rinkus) I guess you can see you're quite unique.

(Sierra) When i'm finished with him, he won't even squeak.

(Pterano) What did you say?

(Rinkus) He said lead the way.

(Sierra) That's it. I've had it with that blowhard.

(Rinkus) I know. I know. But be patient. Let him lead us to the stone.

(Sierra) Oh yeah. Yeah. Now I get ya. Then it will be time to make a few changes in the pecking order.

(Pterano) We've a very important mission.

(Rinkus) A truly impressive quest.

(Pterano) They think we mean to do them harm.

(Sierra) When we only want what's best.

(Rinkus) And when we finally find the stone

(Pterano) Then at last they'll see.

(Sierra) How lucky they are to know.

(Rinkus) As they watch us from down below.

(Pterano) What a reverence they will show. The very important

(Rinkus) Very important

(Sierra) Very important

(Pterano) Meeeeeeeeeeeee!

(Sierra and Rinkus) The very important weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

With that, the song ended as lightning came.

(Pterano) Now get some sleep you 2. We leave when the storm is done.

With that, the Flyers went to sleep.

Red Claw and Bowser found shelter for his army in a cave below the one that the Flyers are in.

(Red Claw) I don't think the storm will end until the Bright Circle makes its first shine. So until then, just get some rest.

And yet they did.

The gang was having a hard time getting through the storm. Everyone was all tired and cold and a little sick too.

(Mario) I wish we packed (Achoo) unblellas.

(Luigi) You can (Achoo) Say that again.

(Cera) I'm tired. (Achoo)

(Petrie) Me cold. (Achoo)

(Ducky) I am (Achoo) uhh. Everything.

(Tickles) Me too. (Achoo)

Then Littlefoot saw something up ahead. It looked like a cave.

(Littlefoot) Everyone. Run to that cave.

Then a streak of lightning came and scared all of them which got them to run strate to the cave. When they got in, Mario and the rest took out their towels and dried themselves off before doing the same with the others. They were both glad that both of their backpacks are waterproof.

Cera looked around and saw what looked like rivers of lava.

(Cera) What is this place?

(Mario) I think it's the base of Three-horn Peak.

(Petrie) Oh. That was Stone Of Cold Fire land.

(Cera) A lot of good that does. We should be on top of the volcano. Not not the bottom or inside it. Besides, Pterano or Red Claw and Bowser might already be there.

(Toad) I don't think so. The Storm must have stopped them too.

(Peach) No one is strong enough to get through that. So we better think of a faster way to the top. Before they take off again.

(Cera) And while you're at it, can you try to find us some leaves? I'm hungry.

(Luigi) We all are. For now we should get some sleep.

So the gang curled up into balls and went to sleep. But unaware of 2 shadowed figure passing them.
