Last hope
chapter 2




""uh.........um....uh.....wha? Where am I?" Luigi got up, he spotted Mario, on the ground with no sign of life. Luigi checked Mario's hands. They were scorched and still had the thunder in them. "He must of took it on full force." Luigi enquired. He was talking about the flaming ball of metal, which had olny grazed Luigi's side but the sudden change of heat had put Luigi into submission. Mario started to open his eyes.

"Luigi? that you?" Mario had blurred vision but soon gained focus, "Mario, you need to get to a healer right away. Luigi tried to pick up Mario but his hands felt like they were touching a freshly made lightning bolt.

"I'll wait till the electricity settles, then ill bring you to the Toad town healer. I wouldn't dare leave you alone."
"Thanks Luigi"
"No problem."



Meanwhile, in Toad town, Chan and Quantum were getting ready to battle. "To make it fair, ill mutate into a spike turtle, fine with you?" Quantum asked.
"I dont care..."
"Touchy little guy aren't ya?"
"Just mutate and shut up.

Two wings extracted from Quantum's backside. The wings enfulged him and he disappeared. The wings turned into metal then into a small shell. The shell's front hole opened and a little head popped out, the hole on the back opened and a spike came out. The little feet and tail also popped out of the other holes.

"Ready to fight, you get first strike." Quantum challenged. Chan got into his shell and started spinning. He spun like a top in hyper-space. Finally he was a blur and a fast moving one too. Quantum closed his eyes and just sighed, " Just attack me." Chan launched himself into the sky, then he dived bombed Quantum.

"Why aint Quantum attacking? Or at least concentrating?" one of the crowd members asked. When Chan was almost touching Quantum, Quantum opened his eyes. Chan was sent into the air. Quantum disappeared.
Chan was being punched around like a ball, Nobody could see Quantum except the Dojo master and his 4 subjects.


Everyone shifted their gaze to a blazing light in the sky. The light twirled downward, toward the falling Chan. Chan was getting beaten up bad by the light, which was Quantum's silver spike glowing in the sun. .Chan had an idea, he spotted a manhole a few metres away. He spun like a top again, then shot off toward the manhole with all his might. The covering was destroyed, in the sewers, dark shapes emerged from the waters.


These were the bloopers and spike turtles, since Chan used to be a an evil spike turtle, these monstrosities were friends. The Bloopers resembled giant squid, they came in 4 different kinds. The mini bloopers will small but could do some critical butt kicking when they're in groups. The normal bloopers specialized in ink launching, they would fire blots of ink at an enemy which could paralyze and do some damage.


The electro-bloopers were surrounded by a field of volts and watts ( no not the character Watt.)
The Super Bloopers were the strongest, they could focus energy and raise their attack power. Spike turtles looked exactly like Chan, except they had a red shell instead of a green one. Some of the spike turtles were as big as a bus, all bloopers were light blue and could fly, the spike turtles used their shells to move around. Chan was on a platform, he ran down a path leading to a door, he knew the sewers very well, since he once lived in them.

Quantum landed on the platform too. Bloopers and spike turtles(Ill call them sts) were all around. Quantum knew his form couldnt take on all these sewer dwellers. ' I need something........strong and agile' Quantum thought. As soon as thought it, the wings wrapped around his body and then turned metal. The wing's unfolded and a Rapto stood in Quantum's place. A Rapto was a Yoshi's worst enemy, they stole Yoshi eggs and wrecked Yoshi huts. The Rapto was the size of a Yoshi and was light brown with dark brown stripes that stretched across the back halfway. They were quick and strong.


Quantum examined his Rapto body, 'impressive.' A swarm of mini bloopers attacked Quantum. He ran right through the swarm, they were brought down into the water. He glided through mid-air and bounced off the head of a super blooper. All the STs dove into the water and shot out sewer water out of their mouths. Quantum spotted a switch and kicked it On. The room opened turned into an arena, with the edges of the arena cut off and full of water. A hole was in the middle of the arena, it filled up with water. Quantum released a breath of blue flames into the air. It took down a few mini bloopers floating around. Chains hung from the ceiling. Quantum spotted the STs getting out of the water on the edges of the platform. They blasted Sewer water everywhere, Raptos, instead of spitting out eggs, they spat out bombs. Quantum spat out bombs at the St's. They just got into their shells and reflected the attack. The electro bloopers were planning to fire out lightning. The super bloopers were planning to use their tentacle take down. One Blooper popped out of the middle hole on the platform, It was trying to slap Quantum with a tentacle.

Quantum was going to be in a frenzy at any moment, he didn't have enough time to change back into an ST and get back in his shell. The Rapto body couldn't take the attacks if they came, so Quantum would be killed 'cause of the Rapto body. Further thinking was delayed, The frenzy of attacks began.







Parrykarry was having a nice flight, until he saw a blazing light in the sky. He headed toward it, but he saw two familiar figures sitting by the Toad town gate. He flew down to them.

"Hi Parrykarry. As you can see, Mario is in a bit of a fix. His hands have been scorched and I can't get him to the healer till later, there is something strange happening in Toad town." Luigi told Parrykarry about the flaming ball.

"I can fix Mario right up! I was suppose to bring this medicine to Merlee because she accidently burned her hands on the crystal ball thingy while predicting somebody's future. ParryKarry handed a bottle to Luigi, "Rub on any burn and it will heal in about 10 seconds." Parrykarry instructed. Parrykarry was a Paratroopa, one with goggles and a mail bag. He delivered packages, mail,magazines all sorts of trinkets too. Mario, Luigi and Parrykarry headed to town after Mario's burns healed.


Chan was headed for the next manhole, which was on the other side of Toad town, he was in Hyper koopa territory so he spun his way through fast. The Hyper koopas were evil rebel koopas who never worked for anybody. They only worked under the hand of Drake, the Hyper koopa leader. Staying under the sewers while fighting bloopers made the hyper Koopas very strong. Chan sensed some were nearby so he stopped.


6 hyper koopas walked up to Chan. "Hey buddy. What brings you to this stinkin' place eh?" One laughed.
"He probably wants to find his mommy!"
Chan lost his temper. "Shut up turtle guts, move aside or you'll regret it."
" Fine, let us have it" one of the hyper koopas sneered. All the hyper koopas got into their shells and rushed Chan.


Chan wasn't expecting this and got knocked over, the Hyper koopas bounced around the room, hitting chan occasionally. Chan then used his mind link attack. 'Fellow subjects, I plead you assistance.'



Lee heard Chan's voice loud and clear, " Lance, Tina, Chan has pleaded for assistance in the sewers, we must help." Lee ushered the other 2 to follow. Lee was a Duplighost, he had the ability to change into other forms. He once lived in the secret crystal palace between Starborn valley and Shiver shiver mountain. The reason he had to leave was he had took a liking to one of the good guys, princess Bow. She was a female boo that lived in a mansion on the end of the forbidden forest.


Lee admired her but knew from the evil crystal king's oracle that she was destined to be a protector of light. The oracle went like this:





The first to come is a red champion
Destined to meet 8 friends in the end
The first is wise even though small
His courage is hidden behind a great wall
The second is fast, hard shell he Wields
Sprinting across the greatest fields
The third hot temper, first female of the team
can let of explosion with unheeding esteem
The forth is like second but soars on great wings
giving gifts and letters and various things
the fifth is in a forest, confusing the pace
disappearing without a trace
sixth is captive in a small cell
she may give the darkness stories to tell
seventh lives on an island
having only flippers, no hands
though she may still, cross the land
the last soars on a cloud in a field
where all flowers give eachother yield
All 9 heros will trek through chapters
finally finding, the princess captor







Lee never understood the last part, but found out when Mario had saved peach. Bow had still lived in the forest, in the mansion.
" Lance, you go in first." Lee told the Rapto. "Then you Tina, and i'll go last." The Rapto, Koopa, and Duplighost entered the manhole.


Quantum jumped up and grabbed hold of a chain, the thunder from the electro bloopers couldn't reach the high up chains, but the Super bloopers could still go up.
Quantum jumped down just as 3 super bloopers launched themselve up at the chains.
Quantum kicked at the blooper in the middle, then he slashed it out of the hole and dove in. The fray of attacks couldn't find their way into the middle pool. Quantum changed into Parrkarry, he emerged and air raided all the Sts and Bloopers. Then shell shotted out of the sewers.



Chan was having a lot of trouble, he couldnt take on 6 opponents that were stronger than normal. Just then one of the hyper koopas was shot down by a blue flame. Chan smiled and reconized his 4 buddies, Lee, Lance and Tina. They had come to help.






Ill write more later.
