18. A ''Fawful'' Surprise.
Once again Mario and the gang return to the Thousand-Year Door with another Crystal Star.
This time Exodus is not waiting for them to come.
Bowser's Mansion:
Bowser was phasing up and down in his room, when suddenly Kammy entered. 'Bowser, found another one!' She yelled, Bowser stopped phasing around and turned his attention to Kammy. 'So let me guess, we now go there only to find out Mario took it?' Bowser sneered.
'Well, I did send some scouts and they have seen Mario and a legion of X-Naut soldiers and Azrael whom you know.'
Bowser roared then he took a wooden chair throwing it against a wall in anger, the chair broke. 'Damn! Too late again...' Bowser then calmed down.
'Wait a second, you mentioned Azrael and X-Naut soldiers? Gwa ha ha ha ha! Bwa ha ha ha! Mario will be crushed by Azrael and the X-Nauts! That Crystal Star will be ours!'
Kammy shook her head: 'Bowser from a logical standpoint, you have never defeated Mario. Mario is with a group if he will be crushed by Azrael and an army of X-Naut soldiers how will you be able to beat them with only the two of us?' Bowser looked at Kammy but he said nothing.
'Yeah you got a point there and knowing Mario he has won against against these odds that Crystal Star is lost to us.'
Kammy took a chair she sat down and turned on the television, the program showed a shot an island floating in the sky. 'Do you have what it takes?' A raw man's voice roared. 'Come to the Glitz Pit today and take the challenge!' Kammy noticed Bowser's interest was piqued.
'Win the challenge and get to take on Rawk Hawk! For the grand prize!' The floating island disappeared and changed to a shot of a muscular guy holding a large champion belt with a star-shaped object in the middle.'
Bowser turned the television off. 'That's it, that is a Crystal Star, has to be and the only thing I need to do is beat some dude named Rawk Hawk, with a name like that he has to be a pushover.'
Kammy sighted: 'Bowser you do realize strong Duelists from all around will be gathered there.' Bowser looked at Kammy then scratched his chin. 'Yes but how about this, I don't enter the tournament, we simply wait until all the hot shots are taking each other down, then when they are all tired of a day Dueling and lost their focus I enter, take out the one who will Duel Rawk Hawk, the crowd probably paid to see Rawk Hawk Dueling, so the organization has only one choice to let me Duel!'
Kammy slowly started to clap: 'That Bowser is brilliant! People don't want to see someone who just lost a Duel Dueling the champion, the organization also does not want an uprising and Rawk Hawk cannot refuse that Duel because of image-loss.'
Bowser laughed: 'Exactly! And that is why I am a genius!'
Then Kammy stopped Bowser: 'One more thing though, Glitzville is an island floating in the sky it can only be entered through a blimp, that blimp has the only clearance to land there.' Kammy spoke.
'I have an idea to get clearance to land there.'
Bowser and Kammy entered an old strip of sand that could be used as landing strip, on the landing strip stood a huge thing covered under protection cover. 'Bowser why are we here?' Kammy asked.
'For this.' Bowser proudly said as he pulled away the protection cover, under it stood a white fighter jet with the Nimbus logo on it.
'A fighter jet... from the Nimbus air force...' Kammy stood their with her mouth open. 'Yeah awesome isn't it!' Bowser was still looking proud: 'It was a present.' Bowser added. 'A... present?' Kammy repeated dumbfounded.
'You know when I went up against Smithy, I ran with that guy Mallow, his parents were the leaders of Nimbus, when we saved them and defeated Dimentio Mallow's parents were so happy they wanted to reward us...' Bowser explained. 'So your choice of reward was a fighter jet?' Kammy shook her head: 'Unbelievable they agreed to it.'
Bowser opened the door of the jet. 'Well this will be my way in, no way they refuse a fighter jet from Nimbus.' Bowser stepped into the jet.
'And you know how to fly this?' Kammy stammered. 'Well I did get it here didn't I?' Bowser replied.
Some time later:
Bowser saw it in the distance, a floating island, the island was held in the air by numerous balloons under the island, Bowser could also see some cooling vents in the sides of the island, there were also huge propellers attached to the island, the island itself was lively to say the least there were neon signs for casino's and the Glitz Pit everywhere, there were several smaller stands selling all sorts of merchandise, food and drinks, on the western side of the island stood three hotels and several building were the staff and participants of the tournament resided, the eastern side of the island stood full with bars and casino's and in the center of the island stood the largest building of the island, the neon sign on the roof made clear that this was the Glitz Pit Arena, at the back side of the arena was a small strip left were the blimp could land.
The moment Bowser entered the airspace of Glitzville he got an incoming message, Bowser opened the communication channel. 'You approach private airspace, but we can see you flying a jet of the Nimbus Air-force, state your name and business.' A rough male voice spoke.
'Yeah this is Bowser from the Nimbus Air-force, I need permission to land.' Bowser replied.
'Sir I am sorry but that would be impossible, this landing space is reserved for the blimp, I must ask you to turn around and head back.' The male voice said.
Bowser thought for a moment then he pressed some buttons, the jet stopped in mid-air and started hovering. 'Sir are you watching?' Bowser asked. 'Yes I am.' The voice replied: 'I see that you can hover your jet, can you land it this way?' He asked. 'Can do sir.' Bowser replied. 'Then land your jet in the lit area.'
Unknown location: Sir Grodus' room.
Grodus was looking at an television screen, an X-Naut Soldier was visible on the screen, Grave was leaning against a wall with his arms folded, Azrael was sitting on the floor he seemed to be annoyed and Crump was sitting on a chair looking at the ceiling avoiding eye-contact.
'So.' Grodus said looking at the soldier on the screen. 'If I understand you correctly, some announcer of the Glitz Pit Arena just confirmed that there is a Crystal Star there?'
The soldier nodded: 'Exactly Sir, I saw it myself an announcement, the guy told there was a tournament there and the winner of that tournament would face the current champion Rawk Hawk, they showed the champion belt it clearly had a golden Crystal Star on it.'
Grave sighted: 'Well now we know that I will be going.' Grave looked at Azrael, Azrael gave Grave a quick nod, Grave ignored it. 'Crump good luck.' Grave sneered then Grodus stopped him. 'Grave this mission is about the Nephilim, chances are Mario will be there, do not try to fight him, if he beats you to the Crystal Star let it go, if you can take the Crystal Star then do so, I want that Nephilim down not you.' Grave gave Grodus the thumbs-up then he walked away.'
Then Grodus turned his attention to Azrael and Crump.
'Before you start yelling Grodus, this is not my fault.' Azrael said, he nimbly stood up: 'I had a plan ready, burn down the forest, we would have found the room beneath the Great Boggly Tree, I could have blown it open taken the Crystal Star and be out, but Crump here had other plans, but that was just my opinion my mission was to deal with Mario, I did and lost.'
Azrael started to walk away. 'Wait Azrael.' Grodus said, Azrael stopped.
'Yes?' The demon replied. 'What did you find out about Mario?' Grodus asked. 'Well I found out that Grave was right Mario is powerful and his power is increasing, but he cannot fully control it yet, survive long enough against his magic and he gets exhausted, and one more thing I found interesting his friends seem to give him fighting power.' With these words Azrael walked away.
As soon as Azrael closed the door Grodus turned his attention to Crump, Grodus didn't speak. 'You're not gonna yell?' Crump asked.
'No I am not, this defeat interests me, you know I find it interesting that you had the upper hand, got the Crystal Star and lost it right before the exit of the forest.' Grodus took place behind his desk. 'Well, I tried to resolve it peacefully, when the mayor didn't want to cooperate I used a full invasion force, I used Azrael to keep Mario busy while I used one of his friends as hostage, I gave myself the time to get the Crystal Star when Mario and his gang were fighting Magnus von Grapple, when I noticed Mario was chasing me I was prepared to sacrifice myself bu blowing up Boggly Woods, somehow Mario was prepared for that as he foiled it, when I was ready to fight his crew they were all exhausted and some of them unable to fight, but that wench Bow showed up and defeated me.'
'Bow? So another one meddled in our plans, interesting I have to look into this Bow, Crump you haven't failed nobody could know some powerful wench would interfere.' Crump sighted in relieve he wanted to stand up. 'However...' Grodus slowly said: 'The thing I am mad about is you destroyed a perfectly battle ship, one-million dollars, you destroyed a top-of-the-art Duel Robot five-million dollar not to talk about all those bombs you used to rig the forest and you pay it back.' Crump gulped: 'How?' He asked. 'I don't care, find treasure, steal rare cards you figure it out, now go!' Crump quickly left the room.
Grave entered his room Rozalin and Pandora were busy playing chess.
'I need to go tomorrow.' Grave said as he dropped himself on his bed.
'Off to fight Mario again?' Pandora asked without looking up from the game. 'Actually not, I need to go to Glitzville there is a rather powerful Nephilim there my mission is to take it down.' This time Pandora looked up from the game. 'Brother I know you will fight Mario, you always will.' She sighted Grave scratched his chin. 'Well there is a Crystal Star there so Mario might be there and there is some kind of tournament in Glitzville maybe if Mario enters the tournament I might just do the same.'
Rozalin moved her rook. 'Pandora checkmate.' She said, Pandora sighted: 'Not again? That is about the fifth time.'
Then Rozalin stood up: 'Grave can you promise me one thing?' Grave looked at Rozalin: 'It will be a friendly game I do need to scope out the place, best way to do so is by Dueling and I know Mario is a worthy opponent he will give me enough time to scope out the place.'
Then Grave let himself drop from the bed, he sat on the ground cross-legged, then he took an electric guitar from under his bed.
'Grave you never struck me as a musical type.' Rozalin said Grave said nothing, instead he started to play a soft tune. 'Well.' He said after a while: 'Actually I am, but there is this one song that interests me the most, a song from way back when Pandora and I were still together, it is a Celestian song it tells that there can be hope in even dire times and that there can be good even in darkness.'
Rozalin expected some soft, calm music but Grave instead started to play some rock melody. 'My brother forgot to mention this song was originally written by Caedis and Caedis is not the type for calm songs.' Pandora said, then Grave stopped playing. 'Yeah I got the guitar good, I got the rhythm down.' Then Grave closed his eyes he started to play a different tune, after a few seconds Pandora suddenly started to sing in a strange language, Rozalin knew this was the original Celestian language she could really hear the emotion in Pandora's voice, although Rozalin didn't understand the language she felt the meaning of the words.
After the first verse Grave started to sing the chorus, Rozalin would have expected Grave to have a raw voice but it was actually soft and calm Rozalin got goosebumps then after the chorus Grave and Pandora finished the song together, the calming voice of Grave combined with the emotion filled voice of Pandora made Rozalin cry at the end.
Grave then placed his arm around Rozalin and softly pulled her against him. 'I don't know why, but I have the urge to protect you.' Grave then spoke: 'To me you are like a sister, I swear if anyone hurts you I'll rip them apart myself.'
The blimp to Glitzville, one hour before Mario arrives.
Grave sat in the back of the blimp, he had cloaked himself with black robes and a hood, he wore his Duel Disk around his left arm so people naturally assumed he was to participate at the Glitz Pit Arena.
When the blimp landed Grave noticed the Nimbus fighter jet. 'Wonder why that is here.' Grave muttered before he stood up, people made way for him as he slowly moved to the exit.
Grave looked around Glitzville. 'Seems Mario isn't here yet, nor can I sense the Nephilim yet, I should look around here tonight, but first to find me a hotel room.'
Rogueport, sewer near the Thousand-Year Door.
Mario and his friends stepped in the round room where the Thousand-Year Door was, two people were standing on the pedestal their backs turned to the entrance. 'So you really think you can pry open the door? It is pretty big see.' Mario motioned everyone to stop.
'My machine will be able to blow this door out, once we do so I HAVE TREASURE! Then off to find the red man who I hate for FURY!'
The second one bellowed, the first one scratched himself behind his back.
'Yeah I have all faith in you see, but your machine is rather big, won't fit into the sewers see.' The first one replied, the second one shook his head.
'Then we shall level the town, blow a big hole to reach this room!'
Then all of a sudden the first figure turned around: 'Boss we have guests.' He said, the second one also turned around. 'It is Mr. Red! Drawn like a moth to my fire of sweet, salty REVENGE!'
'Fawful and Popple?' Mallow gasped, I thought we captured you Popple.' Mario added. 'O yes you did, but Fawful found me and freed me see...' Fawful then interrupted him: 'No need to tell them Popple, soon Fawful will put an end to them, finally I have FURY!'
Then Mario stepped to the front. 'You want me don't you Fawful?'
Popple looked at Fawful then at Mario and back at Fawful. 'The Shadow Thief stands down, as do your minions Mr. Red.' Mario signaled his friends they backed away as did Popple.
Fawful's left half of his glasses started to glow yellow. 'AR vision - Link established.' The computer voice sounded as Mario also activated his D-Gazer. 'Duel!' They both shouted.
(Mario: 8000) - (Fawful: 8000)
'Mr. Red may begin.' Fawful said, Mario drew his opening hand Fawful did the same. 'I summon Spartan in attack mode!' Mario shouted, the proud warrior leaped on Mario's Field. (1600 ATK) 'Turn end.'
Fawful laughed as he drew his card. 'Oh no here it comes...' Mallow sighted, Luigi and Goombella looked at Mallow.
'At the end of this I have CHORTLES! And you will be crying sweet tears of defeat!' Fawful drew a card from his hand. 'I activate Sacred Sword of Seven Stars!' Fawful shouted he played the Spell card. 'Fawful discards Red-Eyes Toon Dragon so he can draw two cards.' Fawful explained, he discarded one card from his hand then he drew two cards.
'Now I activate Toon World!' Fawful happily shouted, as soon as he played the card a purple book reading the name ''Toon World'' written in multicolor letters appeared, the book spun open and a pop-up of a medieval town appeared.
(Mario: 8000) - (Fawful: 7000)
'Next Fawful summons Toon Cyber Dragon!' A shadow fell from the sky inside Toon World, the book started to shake and then a smaller, more cute version of Cyber Dragon stuck its head out, for a cartoon it had mean-looking, sharp teeth and big eyes. (2100 ATK)
'Continuing Fawful activates Monster Reborn!' The holy Ankh appeared and yet another shadow fell in Toon World, next to Cyber Dragon a cute-looking black dragon with red eyes appeared. (2400 ATK) 'Meet Fawful's Red-Eyes Toon Dragon! This monster allows Fawful to special summon a Toon from his hand.'
Fawful carefully took a card from his hand, a third shadow fell into Toon World and this time a cartoon version of Dark Magician appeared. (2500 ATK) 'I activate the effect of Toon Dark Magician! Fawful discards one Toon card from his hand.' Fawful showed the card it was Toon Table of Content. 'Now Fawful Summons one Toon from his Deck!' A forth shadow dropped into Toon World and the cartoon version of Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared. (3000 ATK)
'Finally Fawful activates Magic Reflector.' A Spell card briefly appeared on the Field, a barrier appeared around the card Toon World.
'So to sum it up.' Mallow said: 'Fawful has Toon World which allows him to attack directly with Toon monsters unless Mario controls one, then he controls Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, Red-Eyes Toon Dragon, Toon Dark Magician and Toon Cyber Dragon, when Mario destroys Toon World Fawful would lose but Magic Reflector protects the book.' Luigi looked at Mallow. 'Come on, my bro can handle it!'
Mallow shook his head: 'Maybe not, he is in luck Fawful cannot attack the turn a Toon is summoned, but Mario faces 10.000 points of direct damage, so unless he manages to destroy one of them he is finished next turn.' Goombella looked away tears formed in her eyes.
'Yeah! Way to go boss! You can take down Mario see!' Popple shouted.
'I can indeed! That is why I am the great Fawful! The great Fawful full of FURY and CHORTLES but mostly FURY!'
'Darn, I need to take out two of his monsters now, if I only take down one and he has Toon Rollback he can attack twice with one Toon monster.' Mario thought. 'Okay Fawful I draw!' Mario shouted, he looked over his hand. 'I summon Thousand Blades!' In front of Mario the warrior holding thousand weapons on his back appeared, he drew one of them to use in combat. (1300 ATK) 'I use Thousand Blades' Effect! By discarding one Heroic card from my hand, I can special summon one Heroic Monster from my Deck!' Mario showed Fawful one Heroic Challenger - Thousand Blades and he discarded it. 'I special summon War Hammer from my Deck!' Next to Thousand Blades the warrior clad in heavy armor appeared, he carried his gigantic war-hammer casually over his shoulder. (2100 ATK)
Thousand Blades knelt down and defended himself with his weapon. (1100 DEF)
'Next I create the Overlay Network with Thousand Blades and Spartan!' The two monsters changed into two brown orbs, the black vortex opened. 'Xyz Summon! Come forth Excalibur!' Mario shouted, out of the vortex the heavy armored warrior carrying the legendary sword appeared. (2000 ATK) 'I Detach the two materials from Excalibur to double its attack power!' Mario shouted, the sword Excalibur started to glow with power. (2000- 4000 ATK)
'War Hammer destroy Toon Cyber Dragon!' The warrior readied its hammer then took a leap and smashed the hammer with the pointy edge through the Toon monster, Cyber Dragon got crosses in its eyes a ridiculously large tongue rolled out of its mouth then it exploded in a bonfire of fire and confetti taking War-hammer out with it.
'Excalibur destroy Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!' The warrior heaved his sword then charged in, Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon's eyes popped out of its head, it started to run dodging Excalibur left and right then the dragon seem to have lost the monster it stuck out his tongue at Mario, at that moment Excalibur landed on top of Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon ending the life of the dragon with one strike of his sword.
(Mario: 8000) - (Fawful: 6000)
'I'll end my turn here.' Mario said.
'Fawful's turn! Draw!' Fawful shouted, he drew his card. 'Fawful activates the effect Red-Eyes Toon Dragon!' Fawful showed Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon the cute dragon dropped from the sky, then popped out of Toon World it stuck out its tongue at Mario making farting sounds as it did it. (3000 ATK) 'Next Fawful uses Toon Dark Magician!' Fawful took a card from his hand it was ''Toon Mask'' he discarded the card. 'Fawful special summons another Red-Eyes Toon Dragon!' The moment the second Red-Eyes appeared it started to fight with the first one. 'Stop that!' Fawful bellowed the two dragons looked at each other then turned their backs to each other. (2400 ATK)
'Now Fawful has FURY with Toon Rollback!' He shouted, the Spell card appeared. 'Toon Dark Magician is the target.' Toon Dark Magician started to glow briefly.
'Now Red-Eyes Toon Dragon attacks!' The small dragon started to inhale some air, it swell up as a balloon to, then it exhumed a fireball that was twice its size, Mario shielded himself with his arms.
(Mario: 5600) - (Fawful: 6000)
'If this was a Shadow Game I would have been burned, seems Fawful doesn't know how to create one.' Mario thought, but his thoughts were interrupted. 'Toon Dark Magician your turn!' Fawful shouted, the Spellcaster stretched out his legs leaping from the book, he hovered above Mario Dark Magician casted his Spell at Mario, again Mario shielded himself with his arms.
(Mario: 3100) - (Fawful: 6000)
For his second attack Toon Dark Magician casted his spell again, this time it backfired blowing up in his own face, instead the Spellcaster decided to whack Mario on his head with his staff multiple times.
(Mario: 600) - (Fawful: 6000)
'I activate the effect of Thousand Blades in my Graveyard, when I take damage I can summon him!' Mario shouted, a hole in the ground opened and Thousand Blades leaped back out. (1300 ATK)
'Fawful ends his turn.' Fawful said, Excalibur's attack points returned back to normal. (4000- 2000 ATK)
'Then it is my turn to draw.' Mario said, he quickly drew his card.
'I use my Spell card Riryoku!' As Mario played the card it appeared on the Field a light shot out of the card piercing Red-Eyes Toon Dragon then the same light enveloped Excalibur. (Red-Eyes Toon Dragon: 2400- 1200 ATK, Excalibur: 2000- 3200 ATK)
'Thousand Blades destroy the weakened Red-Eyes Toon Dragon!' Mario shouted, the dragon tried to flee from the warrior but Thousand Blades started to throw weapons until he pierced the Toon dragon through its chest. 'Now Excalibur destroy the Blue-Eyes!' Mario shouted, Excalibur heaved his sword then took a leap, the Blue-Eyes also tried to run, but Thousand Blades threw another weapon at the dragon that distracted Blue-Eyes and so Excalibur could slay it.
'Next I use Monster Reborn to Summon your Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon!' The holy Ankh appeared and a confused Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon appeared on Mario's side of the Field. (3000 ATK)
'Now that I control a Toon you cannot attack me directly any longer, but I am not done yet, I summon a second Spartan!' The warrior leaped onto the Field. (1600 ATK) 'I create the Overlay Network!' Mario shouted, Spartan and Thousand Blades changed into orbs, a second Excalibur leaped out of the vortex. (2000 ATK) 'I activate Excalibur's Effect!' Mario shouted removing the two cards from under Excalibur, the monster's sword started to glow. (2000- 4000 ATK)
(Mario: 600) - (Fawful: 5700)
'Whew Mario managed to stall for a bit, unless Fawful has something to raise the attack of his monsters Mario is safe.' Mallow said: 'The remaining Red-Eyes Toon Dragon and Toon Dark Magician are both too weak to destroy Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon, even if Fawful summons another Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon it cannot attack this turn.' Mallow explained.
Fawful drew his card, it was Mirror Force. 'Best to hang on to that card for now.' Fawful thought.
'Toon Dark Magician destroy that weaker Excalibur!' Fawful shouted, Toon Dark Magician used his staff on himself he grew to three times the size of Excalibur then Toon Dark Magician flattened Excalibur.
(Mario: 100) - (Fawful: 5700)
'Fawful's turn ends here.' He stated, Mario's second Excalibur lost his extra attack points. (4000- 2000 ATK)
'Survived this turn, but it has to end now.' Mario muttered he quickly drew his card. 'Good I use Pot of Greed!' Mario shouted, the happy pot appeared on the Field, Mario drew two cards.
'I activate Burden of the Mighty, that lowers my opponent's monsters by 100 points times their Level!'
The Spell card appeared on the Field, Red-Eyes Toon Dragon hung its head as it became weaker. (2400- 1700 ATK) Next Toon Dark Magician became weaker. (2500- 1800 ATK)
'Now I sacrifice Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon for War Hammer!' The huge warrior with the hammer leaped back onto the Field. (2100 ATK)
'War Hammer destroy Toon Dark Magician!' The warrior lifted his hammer Toon Dark Magician looked up at the warrior but he realized he was too weak to actually dodge it, the hammer came down on the Spellcaster's head. 'Now Toon Dark Magician is equipped to War Hammer.' Mario said, War Hammer lifted his hammer, Dark Magician stuck onto it like gum to a shoe, it was sucked into the hammer and the warrior became stronger. (2100- 4600 ATK)
Excalibur destroy Red-Eyes Toon Dragon!' Excalibur prepared his attack, War Hammer seemed to know that Red-Eyes would flee, he brought down his hammer on the head of Red-Eyes an abnormally long tongue rolled out of its maw, then Excalibur came in and chopped the head off.
(Mario: 100) - (Fawful: 5100)
'Whatever you summon now Fawful must wait to attack, so I end my turn here.' Fawful's eye was twitching he drew his card.
'Fawful sets one card.' He shouted a reversed card appeared in his Spell/Trap Zone, that card was of course Mirror Force. 'Next Fawful summons Toon Gemini Elf!' Two cartooned women appeared, one had long blonde hair and a blue dress with matching gloves, the second one had long brown hair and a purple dress. (1900- 1500 ATK)
Mario drew his card. 'I activate Mystical Space Typhoon!' Mario shouted, the small storm whipped up Mirror Force was revealed and destroyed.
'What you have cheated! No way you could have drawn that card when you needed it most!' Popple shouted, Mario looked at the Shadow Thief. 'I don't think I cheated, that card was in my Deck all the time, I simply got lucky.' Mario turned his attention back to Fawful. Excalibur destroy Toon Gemini Elf!' The two women tried to flee but instead of running they bumped into each other and started to fight Excalibur slashed out with his sword killing both of them.
(Mario: 100) - (Fawful: 4600)
'War Hammer end it!' Mario shouted, the warrior gave Fawful a wallop with his hammer, Mario's opponent was send flying and landed on his back.
(Mario: 100) - (Fawful: 0)
Fawful watched his Life Points tumble all the way to zero.
Popple took a few steps back, Fawful slowly turned around to face Popple.
'Boss you okay?' Fawful shrugged and stood up, then he spun around dramatically spreading his arms: 'A WINNER IS YOU' Mario gave no reaction.
'Mr. Red might have won this time and I have what I came for, for now, now Fawful knows where the Thousand-Year Door is, but I will have my FURY later. For now we retreat like children running for a patch of vegetables.' Popple started to run, he pushed Luigi aside, then Fawful calmly followed him. 'Enjoy your victory for now fink rats.' He said while he passed Mario and his friends.
Mario stepped on the pedestal and held the map above his head, the map started to glow, Mario spread the map a location in mid-air started to glow.
'So the next Crystal Star is somewhere high.' He muttered Goombella took a look at the map. 'I see, Glitzville is located there, Glitzville is a floating island with a huge Duel Arena in the center, it is like Las Vegas but only smaller.' Mario looked at Goombella. 'How do we get there?' He asked.
'The only way I know is with a blimp.' She replied.
Next time:
The next location is know, Glitzville the floating city.
Only accessible with a blimp, now Mario needs to find out where to get tickets. But that is a lot harden than they might think, and Mario ends up in the tournament of Glitzville, but a mystery surrounds Glitzville. ''Act 4. Glitz Pit Rumble, 19. Glitz Pit Glory.'' Coming next.
