35. Bomb Squad.

The Ancient One Doopliss was defeated but he managed to escape, Mario is well underway to Rogueport.

But Bowser is up to something, he ventured out to Twilight Town to get some information, but when he arrives he finds the town taken over by X-Naut Soldiers.

Bowser looked at the soldiers laying at his feet, the moment he and Kammy entered Twilight Town they got attacked, Bowser easily knocked the soldiers down. 'So what is the meaning of this?' Bowser wondered.

'I don't know Bowser, seems that these X-Nauts taken over the town, maybe this means Mario is dead.'

Bowser shook his head: 'He won't die that easily.' Then he halted in front of a bar, he opened the door, it was warm and cozy inside since all villagers seemed to be in the bar. 'I'm looking for a mustached man, red shirt, blue overall goes by the name of Mario, probably traveling with a group anyone seen him?'

One of the villagers looked up. 'You just missed him sir, he left around an hour ago, then these soldiers appeared looking for something called a Crystal Star.' Bowser laughed. 'Thanks for the information pal.' He said then he closed the door again. 'Kammy the Crystal Star is still here, the X-Nauts are looking for it, Mario was here looking for it but he didn't found it, must have given up and decided to return home.'

Then Bowser's eye fell on one X-Naut, it was Lord Crump.

Crump was sitting next to the Superbombomb: 'Crump, the bomb didn't work, go there and fix it.' He muttered: 'Crump make sure it explodes.' He continued to mutter, Crump put down his tools and closed the hatch on the machine. 'That should do it.' The X-Naut commander sighted.

'Yo.' Bowser said, Crump jumped up startled from Bowser. 'You the leader of this bunch of meat-heads?'

'I am Lord Crump, a respectable leader of the Cross-naut Society or X-Nauts for short.' Crump replied a bit irritated.

'Good, that makes you the upper meat-head, give me your Crystal Star.' Bowser demanded.

A lot of the soldiers had noticed the commotion and came to look.

'Buh buh buh huh huh, this is rich! You just come in here and demand a Crystal Star?'

'I do, but I can understand that the upper meat-head is scared of a real Duelist!'

Crump's eye started to twitch. 'Enough!' He roared, the X-Naut Soldiers formed a circle around Bowser and Crump.

'I'm gonna trounce you real good punk.' Crump roared, his legion of X-Naut Soldiers started to cheer, Bowser silently activated his Duel Disk and his D-Gazer, Crump activated his Duel Disk after that, he immediately saw all statistics through his glasses. 'Duel!' They both shouted, Crump drew his opening hand, Bowser followed his example. 'I'll go first.' The X-Naut commander said.

(Lord Crump: 8000) - (Bowser: 8000)

'First I activate Double Summon.' The X-Naut commander stated, the Spell card briefly appeared on the Field.

'I Summon X-Head Cannon.' Crump said, he played the card, the blue and yellow machine appeared on the Field, the hatches in its shoulders opened and the cannons shot out of the hatches. (1800 ATK)

'Next I summon Z-Metal Tank and Equip X-Head Cannon with it, this increases the attack points of X-Head Cannon with 600.' Crump explained, he played the card Next to X-Head Cannon the small, yellow orb on huge caterpillars appeared, (1500 ATK) then it disappeared again only to reappear as a card in the Spel/Trap Zone, behind X-Head Cannon then the machine became stronger. (1800- 2400 ATK)

'I end my turn.'

Bowser drew his card. 'So Machines it is, and XYZ at that, I know that Deck well, you cannot surprise me grunt.'

'It's Crump! Lord CRUMP! Not grunt!' The X-Naut leader roared, Bowser snickered. 'You're doing this on purpose aren't you?' Crump snapped, Bowser said nothing instead he took a card from his hand. 'I summon Maiden with Eyes of Blue. The girl wearing the simple yet elegant dress appeared, her long silver hair was flowing in the wind, her blue eyes seem to look straight through Crump's soul. (0 ATK)

'I end my turn.'

Crump looked at his monster then at Bowser and finally at the Maiden.

'You really try to make a fool of me? You're not even taking me seriously! You summon a monster in attack position with no attack points!?'

Crump aggressively drew his card. 'Well you asked for it.' Crump took another card from his hand. 'I summon Y-Dragon Head!' The red robotic dragon flew over the Field once before it started to hover before Crump. (1500 ATK)

'Next I unequip Z-Metal Tank from X-Head Cannon and special summon it to the Field.' The small, yellow orb on huge caterpillars appeared on the Field again. (1500 ATK)

'Now I Banish X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank!'

The three machines started to buzz, a hatch under Y-Dragon Head opened up, then a hatch on Z-Metal Tank opened, a connection point appeared out of Z-Metal tank, Y-Dragon Head clicked on it, the head of Y-Dragon Head retracted then a hatch on top of Y-Dragon Head opened, X-Head Cannon took its place on top of the machine. 'Behold XYZ-Dragon Cannon!' Crump said. (2800 ATK)

'Now I attack Maiden with Eyes of Blue! XYZ Hyper Cannon!' The machine started to charge then two laser beams were shot at the Maiden.

'I use the effect of Maiden, once per turn I can negate one attack then I can special summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck!' The Maiden started to pray suddenly two wings appeared shielding her from the laser beams, those were the wings of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, after the dragon made sure the Maiden was safe he took the front. (3000 ATK)

Then Maiden knelt down and started to pray. (0 DEF)

'You tricked me?' Crump roared.

'I did grunt, you thought I was making a fool of you! Now you made a fool out of yourself!' Crump started to foam.

'I equip my XYZ-Dragon Cannon with Mist Body and end my turn.'

A think layer of mist formed around the menacing machine.

Bowser drew his card: 'I can see why you are only a grunt.'

'For the last time my...' Crump shouted. 'Silence!' Bowser roared startling Crump. 'I know your name is Crump and not grunt, I was reffering to you as a replacement soldier a soldier without any real training, a grunt.'

Crump's eye started to twitch, his soldiers started to murmur. 'Quiet you lot! I am your commander! This man insulted me, he will pay for that!'

Bowser chuckled: 'Not yet, I summon Kaibaman.' Before Bowser the man resembling the legendary Duelist Seto Kaiba appeared. (200 ATK)

'Next I tribute Kaibaman so I can special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my hand!' With a roar a second of the ferocious dragons appeared next to the first one. (3000 ATK)

'Finally I activate Riryoku.' Bowser played the Spell card it appeared on the Field, a line appeared between XYZ-Dragon Cannon and Maiden.

'With this Spell card my Maiden gains half the attack points of your XYZ-Dragon Cannon also since Maiden was targeted by a card Effect, I get to special summon another Blue-Eyes White Dragon from my Deck!' Sparks appeared around XYZ-Dragon Cannon it became weaker and Maiden became stronger. (XYZ-Dragon Cannon: 2800- 1400, Maiden: 0- 1400 ATK)

Then in a flash of light the third Blue-Eyes White Dragon swooped down onto the Field. (3000 ATK)

'T-that's i-impossible!' Crump stammered: 'He summoned three Blue-Eyes White Dragons? And two of them weren't even in his hand, this guy is unbelievable.' The X-Naut Soldiers started to talk with each other again.

'No I cannot show fear, not before the eyes of these soldiers, I still have some tricks left! I won't go down that easily, even if it means I have to cheat a bit...'

'Are you ready grunt? Battle! Triple White Lightning!' Bowser roared, first one beam of electricity hit XYZ-Dragon Cannon, the machine withstood the attack, then another beam hit him, this time it staggered back a bit, followed by a third beam of lightning, the machine toppled over but it remained on the Field.

(Lord Crump: 3200) - (Bowser: 8000)

Crump looked around the area. 'I will help you Lord Crump!' One of the soldiers roared he stormed to the front.

'Fine.' Bowser spoke: 'If all you soldiers want to join you can, I take you all on, but since you interfered you start with only half your Life Points.'

(Lord Crump: 3200 & X-Naut Soldier: 4000) - (Bowser: 8000)

'I-I-I show you what I can do.' The X-Naut Soldier stammered, he quickly drew his card.

'I activate Pot of Greed, I draw one card and Lord Crump draws the other one.' The soldier stammered, then he drew his card Lord Crump drew one as well.

'Next I summon Marauding Captain.' One of the oldest and more famous Warrior monsters appeared on the Field, an older-looking man with short blond hair wearing heavy armor with cape, two swords in his hands. (1200 ATK)

Bowser started to laugh: 'No wonder you X-Nauts aren't well known! If your soldiers use old Decks like that, even a child could beat you down!' Bowser's words were followed by a lot of negative reactions from the other soldiers. 'All right, now I've had it with you punk!' Crump roared: 'You can ridicule me all you want, but these soldiers, weak as they may seem, they are loyal!' The soldiers started to cheer.

'I use the effect of Marauding Captain.' The soldier said: 'I special summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!' A new warrior appeared, this time it was a knight clad in heavy, black armor. (1800 ATK)

'Then I use Double Summon so I can normal summon another Gearfried!' The soldier continued, he slammed the card on his Duel Disk, next to the first Gearfried a second one appeared. (1800 ATK)

'Finally I activate Share the Pain, this Spell card allows me to tribute a monster, then it forces you to tribute one as well.

The Marauding Captain disappeared from the Field.

'In that case I tribute my Maiden with Eyes of Blue.' Bowser stated, he watched how his monster slowly disappeared.

'I end my turn.' The soldier stated.

'Thank you loyal soldier, now that pesky monster is out of the way I can finally deal with this dragon problem.' Crump drew his card, he looked at the three cards in his hand. 'I use the effect of XYZ-Dragon Cannon! By discarding one card from my hand, I can destroy one card on the Field!'

Crump discarded his first card. 'Destroy that Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Hyper Destruction!' Crump roared, the cannons charged then two laser beams shot the Blue-Eyes White Dragon right out of the sky. 'Again!' Crump shouted as he discarded his second card, a laser beam followed the second Blue-Eyes White Dragon fell from the sky. 'One final time!' Crump roared, Bowser watched as his third Blue-Eyes White Dragon also crashed down. 'Direct attack! XYZ Hyper Cannon!' Bowser shielded himself, the impact of the attack blew his back a few feet, a cloud of dust blocked Crump's view for a few seconds. 'Buh buh huh huh, that should teach...' Crump's words fell short as the dust cleared, Bowser was grinning. 'That's more like it!' Bowser roared. 'Give me more!'

Crump was dumbfounded by Bowser's reaction.

(Lord Crump: 3200 & X-Naut Soldier: 4000) - (Bowser: 5200)

'Damn, a direct hit like that and he laughed it off? What is this guy some kind of masochist?'

'You won't be laughing when I am done with you!' Crump reacted: 'Turn end.'

'My turn.' Bowser stated, he drew his card. 'Bwa ha ha, you thought you got rid of my dragons? Well you were wrong.' Bowser took two cards from his hand. 'I activate Silver's Cry, which allows me to special summon a Level 8, normal, Dragon Type monster from my Graveyard and I activate Monster Reborn!' Bowser simultaneously played the cards, two roars sounded over the Field as the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons flew over. (3000 ATK x2)

'Next I Equip XYZ Dragon Cannon with Axe of Fools.' The Spell card appeared on the Field. 'The Equipped monster gains 1000 attack points, but its Effects are negated and the controller of the monster loses 500 Life Points during my Standby Phases.' Bowser quickly explained, XYZ-Dragon Cannon became stronger. (2800- 3800 ATK)

'Next I activate the Field Spell Luminous Spark, this increases the attack points of all Light Monster by 500.' As Bowser placed the card in his Field Spell Zone a bright light appeared shining on the Field, the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons became stronger. (3000- 3500 ATK x2) XYZ-Dragon Cannon also became stronger. (3800- 4300 ATK)

'Yo grunt, you thought you were the only one who could do a Contact Fusion, well I've got a Fusion Monster, it can be summoned by either Polymerization or Contact Fusion, I use the latter!'

Bowser's Blue-Eyes White Dragons started to glow, they swirled together, the result was a monster that looked like a Blue-Eyes White Dragon only with two heads. (3000- 3500 ATK)

'This is my Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon! Now my mighty dragon attack that Marauding Captain!' The X-Naut Soldier shielded himself with his arms as the left head of the dragon blew away the noble warrior.

'Now the left head attacked but the right one can also attack!' Bowser roared, this time the Gearfried the Iron Knight got blown away, the X-Naut Soldier tried to keep his footing but he blown away by the sheer force of the dragon's assault.

(Lord Crump: 3200 & X-Naut Soldier: 0) - (Bowser: 5200)

'Hm, this is interesting.' Crump thought: 'This Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, it has the same attack points as one Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it can attack twice, the two Blue-Eyes White Dragons he used to summon it can do the exact same thing as this Twin Burst Dragon, unless there is some extra effect, I'd best be careful.'

Bowser looked at the X-Naut Soldier as he slowly stood up. 'Bwa ha ha! This is what I do with people who interfere in my Duel! Now if the rest of you grunts want a beating come and get it! Anyway I end my turn.'

Crump quickly drew his card. 'You increased the attack points of XYZ-Dragon Cannon twice, but you ignored its effect, I'd figured what your Twin Burst Dragon can do, it cannon be destroyed by battle.'

Bowser laughed: 'You are smarter than you look I give you that, my Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon is as strong as a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, it can attack as many times as two Blue-Eyes White Dragons but it cannot be destroyed by battle! That is why I ignored your XYZ-Dragon Cannon's destruction effect, good luck getting rid of it now!'

Crump chuckled: 'You did make my XYZ-Dragon Cannon stronger, maybe I cannot your Dragon but you at least take damage! Attack XYZ Hyper Cannon!' Bowser watched as the war-machine charged its lasers, the Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon took its position in front of Bowser, shielding itself with its wings, the laser hit the mighty dragon, but the beast withstood the attack without any effort.

(Lord Crump: 3200) - (Bowser: 4400)

'I set one card and end my turn.' Crump stated, the card appeared vertically behind his XYZ-Dragon Cannon.

'It's my turn!' Bowser roared he drew his card. 'Since it is my Standby Phase, you take 500 damage because of Axe of Fools!' An electric bolt shot out from the Spell card striking Lord Crump who staggered for a few seconds.

(Lord Crump: 2700) - (Bowser: 4400)

'My Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon cannot be destroyed by battle.' Bowser reminded Crump. 'Now it attacks XYZ-Dragon Cannon!'

'What the!' Crump shouted, the left dragon head fired its beam, but XYZ-Dragon Cannon dodged it then started to fire back, the Twin Burst Dragon blocked the lasers with its wing, it withstood the attack once again.

(Lord Crump: 2700) - (Bowser: 3600)

'Why would you attack?' Crump stammered.

'You don't get it do you?' Bowser replied: 'Whenever Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon attacks and the monster it attacks is still on the Field at the end of the damage calculation, that monster is Banished.'

Crump watched as a gigantic hole opened up behind XYZ-Dragon Cannon, the war-machine was slowly pulled in.

'The only luck you have grunt is that Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon can only make two attacks on monsters, so you are safe from a direct attack now, so I end my turn.'

'We shall protect you Lord Crump!' A voice sounded as three X-Naut Soldiers leaped in front of Crump: 'Let us protect you, we shall be your shield!' Bowser saw that Kammy wanted to join.

'Kammy, stand down, I'll deal with these punks, you make sure nobody else interferes.'

Kammy took a few steps forward, she clasped her hands together and she started to chant, a barrier erupted around Bowser, Crump and the three soldiers. 'People can exit the barrier but not enter.' Kammy stated as she saw that several soldiers wanted to try to break through, then all soldiers turned to her and a lot of Duel Disks activated. 'Really?' Kammy sighted she activated her Duel Disk: 'Come on then! Bring it!' She roared.

'Since you all interfered all your Life Points are halved, and since you came three at the same time, I am at a huge disadvantage so I draw until I have five cards.' Bowser took three cards from his Deck.

(Soldier 1: 4000, Soldier 2: 4000 & Soldier 3: 4000) - (Bowser: 3600)

'It is our turn first.' One of the X-Naut Soldiers said, he drew his card.

'I summon Goblindbergh.' The soldier stated, a goblin flying a red aircraft began flying over the Field. (1400 ATK)

'Now I use the effect of Goblindbergh, I can special summon a Level 4 or lower monster from my hand, then Goblindbergh changes to defense mode.' The soldier explained. 'I special summon Goblin Attack Force!' A group of angry goblins appeared, they wore purple shirts with leather armor over it they held steel bats covered with spikes. (2400 ATK)

Goblindbergh landed the plane. (0 DEF) 'I end my turn.'

The second X-Naut Soldier drew his card. 'This means my turn!' He took a card from his hand. 'I summon Gearfried the Iron Knight!' Shouted, the warrior clad in black armor appeared on the Field again. (1800 ATK) 'Turn end.' The soldier stated.

'My turn.' Soldier number three said, he drew his card.

'I sacrifice Goblin Attack Force, Goblindbergh and Gearfried the Iron Knight!' The three monsters started to disappeared. 'I summon Beast King Barbaros!' The soldier roared a huge creature appeared on the field with a roar, it had the upper body of a man the lower body of a great lion, at the end of its tail it had a stinger, in its hands it held a lance and a shield. (3000 ATK)

'Since I summoned Beast King Barbaros with three tributes all your cards are destroyed!' Bowser cursed something first the bright light of Luminous Spark disappeared, then Beast King Barbaros charged in and stabbed Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon. 'Wide open! The soldier bellowed, direct attack!' Barbaros turned around to face Bowser, the latter caught the spear with his Duel Disk but Barbaros gave Bowser a slap with its shield.

(Soldier 1: 4000, Soldier 2: 4000 & Soldier 3: 4000) - (Bowser: 600)

'You're easy to finish now, Lord Crump doesn't even have to get his hands dirty.' The soldier sneered.

'We'll see.' Bowser said, as he saw his card he started to laugh, he pointed at the first soldier, then his finger moved to the second and the third. 'I'm gonna take you all down, in one turn.'

Bowser took three cards from his hand. 'First I activate the Spell card: Dragon's Mirror! This allows me to Fuse a Dragon by banishing the Fusion Materials!' Bowser took three cards from his Graveyard, the three Blue-Eyes White Dragons appeared on the Field, then they swirled together, three roars sounded over the Field, the famous triple-headed dragon appeared, but it looked a bit different, it was a bit bigger than the original, it seem to wore a bit of armor around its body and its tail ended in an axe. (4500 ATK)

'Bwa ha ha ha! This might look like Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, but this is Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!' Bowser said: 'Next I activate my second Spell card: Burial from a Different Dimension.' The second Spell card appeared. 'This card allows me to move my banished Blue-Eyes White Dragons back to the Graveyard.' Bowser placed the cards back in the Graveyard.

'Then I activate my third Spell card: Pot of Avarice, this allows me to move five cards back into my Deck then I draw two cards.'

Five cards slipped from Bowser's Graveyard they were: Kaibaman, two of the Blue-Eyes White Dragons, Maiden with Eyes of Blue and Twin Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon.' The first four went back to the Deck, the last one to his Extra Deck, then Bowser drew twice.

Finally Bowser took yet another card from his hand. 'I activate Swing of Memories! This Spell allows me to special summon a normal monster from my Graveyard.' The ground broke open and Blue-Eyes White Dragon appeared on the Field again. (3000 ATK)

'Blue-Eyes White Dragon attacks Beast King Barbaros!' Bowser roared, the dragon charged its White Lightning but Beast King Barbaros rammed its lance through the dragon, then with its last powers Blue-Eyes White Dragon grabbed Barbaros and unleashed its White Lighting into the face of the Beast King.

'The way is open, so Neo Blue-Eyes White Dragon attack the left soldier!'

The soldier tried to duck away but the left head of the Ultimate Dragon blew the soldier off his feet.

(Soldier 1: 0, Soldier 2: 4000 & Soldier 3: 4000) - (Bowser: 600)

'I activate the effect of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon activate, it is the only face-up card I control at the moment, this means I can send one Blue-Eyes Fusion monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard.' Bowser took one card, it was the regular Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Bowser discarded the card. 'Now my dragon can attack again!' This time the right head fired its attack, the right soldier was blown away this time.

(Soldier 1: 0, Soldier 2: 4000 & Soldier 3: 0) - (Bowser: 600)

'And the reason I send Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon back to my Extra Deck is because I can use this effect twice!' Bowser took the second Fusion monster and discarded it, the middle head of the Ultimate Dragon fired its blast and the last soldier was blown away as well.

(Soldier 1: 0, Soldier 2: 0 & Soldier 3: 0) - (Bowser: 600)

Crump watched as his soldiers ran away, then Bowser turned to face Crump. 'Now I shall take you down little grunt!'

Bowser took a card from his hand. 'I set this one and end my turn.' The card appeared behind Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

(Lord Crump: 2700) - (Bowser: 600)

'Buh buh buh huh huh!' Crump laughed, he quickly drew his card.

'I activate Pot of Greed.' He stated, the happy pot appeared and Crump drew two cards, he now had two cards in his hand.

'Next I activate my Trap card!' The one card Crump had set earlier opened up. 'Return from the Different Dimension! I pay half my Life Points and I special summon X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Head and Z-Metal Tank!'

A black vortex opened up and the three monsters dropped out.

(Lord Crump: 1350) - (Bowser: 600)

'Only so I can banish them again to special summon XYZ-Dragon Cannon!' The three parts quickly combined back into the war machine. (2800 ATK)

'I use the effect of XYZ-Dragon Cannon! I destroy your Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!' The cannons on the Dragon Cannon charged and the dragon was blown into pieces.

'I activate Call of the Haunted!' Bowser roared, his Trap card spun around and the ground broke open. 'I special summon Blue-Eyes White Dragon!' Bowser shouted, the dragon shot up out of the hole. (3000 ATK)

'I bury that dragon again! I discard the last card from my hand to destroy that Blue-Eyes White Dragon!' Crump roared.

'Got you.' Bowser calmly replied.

'What?!' Crump stammered.

'When Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon is in my Graveyard and a Blue-Eyes monster is targeted by an effect I banish the Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and destroy that card!'

Crump gasped, lightning struck the XYZ-Dragon Cannon changing it into a smoking pile of junk. 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon! White Lightning!' Bowser bellowed, Crump wanted to protest but his got blown off his feet by the dragon.

(Lord Crump: 0) - (Bowser: 600)

Crump landed on his back, Crump wanted to stand up but Bowser lifted him from the ground, Crump started to struggle. 'Now grunt tell me where you got the Crystal Star!' Bowser said to Crump's face.

'Buh buh buh huh huh.' Crump started to laugh.

'You think I have the Crystal Star? I thought you had it, I don't have the Crystal Star why else would I still be here if I had it?'

Bowser let go of Crump, the latter landed on his feet.

'Bower.' Kammy suddenly said: 'I got one of them soldiers talking, the Thousand-Year Door is in Rogueport somewhere hidden in the sewers, he couldn't tell me where exactly, but he did say Mario went into the sewers an awful lot of times.'

Bowser started to laugh. 'Good Kammy, where Mario is there are bound to be Crystal Stars, we go to Rogueport now and lay an ambush for Mario.'

Bowser turned around. 'You think I would just let you walk out of here punk? After you made a fool out of me.' Bowser turned around only to see Crump standing next to the Superbombomb, Crump pressed the button on the bomb, the contraption started to buzz and smoke, then it fell apart.

Bowser started to laugh like crazy.

'Fine, looks like you got lucky punk, next time I will obliterate you!' Crump turned around he signaled his soldiers to retreat. 'And with that...' Crump started but then the bomb exploded sending Crump flying he crashed with his back against a building then landed on the ground as a rag-doll.

Crump opened his eyes, his soldiers stood around him, Crump grunted as he stood up supported by his soldiers, then his D-Gazer turned on, Sir Grodus appeared on a small screen.

'Crump, stop playing around! I've got something for you, go to Rogueport...' Crump smiled as he heard further orders.


Next time:

Crump's assignment has to wait, next time we go back to Mario who needs to return to the Thousand-Year Door where a nasty surprise is waiting for them: ''Ambush'' coming next.
