(OK, this was a little harder; I don't want to get too much into the happenings in the game itself, as another author is working on that…
So, this is kinda short…)
Bowser's Keep (again)
"So princess, what makes you think your plumber's going to come this time?!" Bowser cackled as he tied the struggling princess to a chandelier.
"Because he always does!" Peach answered. "Argh! Are you really that thick headed!?!?! Every time you kidnap me, Mario makes a total idiot out of you by defeating you and rescuing me!!! What makes you sure that this time will be different?!" she demanded.
"I don't know, I just do! And DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME AN IDIOT!!!!"
"Okay," Peach coolly answered, "You're a fool, then."
"Yes, I'm a foo… Wait a sec! Those mean the same thing!"
Princess Toadstool chuckled. "Yep! A fool, an idiot, a moron, an imbecile…" the princess rattled on more insults.
"Shut up!" Bowser growled at her.
"She's-a totally right!"
"Eh? Mario? Mario! You did come to rescue me!!" Peach started struggling again. "See?! I told you he'd come, Bowser!!"
Bowser ignored her. "So, Mario? Prepare yourself for the great beyond!"
Mario and Bowser began fighting on the chandelier. Mario won in less than 5 minutes. ^.^
"Fungahh! Foiled again!" Bowser wailed as his part of the chandelier broke and plummeted to the floor.
"Oh! Mario!" Peach called. "Untie me and let's get out of here!!"
So Mario began untying her. However…
The keep began to shake!!
An earthquake?
Or was it something… worse??
Peach screamed. "Aah! Mario! I'm going to fall!"
They both looked up as a HUGE sword fell from the sky and landed right in the keep! The impact was so great that Mario, the princess, and Bowser were thrown in totally different directions, far apart from each other, only to land… well… who knows where?!
Booster Tower
"Booster, sir! We caught four new beetles on the track today, would you like to see sir?" Snifit 1 asked.
"One of them's golden," Snifit 2 added.
"Uh… what they said…" Snifit 3 chimed in, a little late.
"Golden beetle?" Booster looked through the Beetle Box they gave him. "Wow! Good job, good buddies!"
"Would you like anything else, now, Booster?" Snifit 1 asked.
"Put the beetles with the others," Booster ordered. "And get me a glass of that freshly-mashed lemon-banana juice."
"Yes, Booster, sir!" the Snifits left to carry out his commands.
Booster, who was currently on top of his huge tower a little ways from Moleville, looked out around the land, fixing his gaze on an odd thing...
Off in the direction of the Koopa Kingdom (in fact, Booster could see Bowser's Keep from where he was standing) he saw some thing falling. It looked kind of like a giant knife… a sword maybe? Whatever it was, in landed right in the middle of Bowser's Keep! — causing an earthquake large enough to shake the tower a bit.
A moment later, Booster noticed some shooting stars. One of them landed in the mine at Moleville, causing another minor earthquake, though not as strong as the first.
Booster was wondering what the heck was going on when he suddenly realized something was coming his way…
Was it a bird?
A plane?
A piece of paper?
A… Person…?
A… Princess?! Booster wondered. "Wow! What's that?! WHO's that?!"
A person, a beautiful young woman in a pink dress, came flying through the air, and landed right in Booster's lap!! "Ooh…" the girl moaned, "my head…"
It's Princess Toadstool! Booster thought in a panic. Wow! She fell right in my lap!! This is just like finding the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! She's so pretty… I know! I'll marry her!!
"Princess Toadstool!" Booster said out loud, "Welcome to Booster Tower! Will you be staying long? Oh, why do I ask?? Of course you will! I know you'll stay! Ooh, wait, I must find my beetle collection!"
"Er, that's nice…" Peach stared at the odd… thing that had a totem pole for a face, "But I really have to go… The chancellor…"
"But you have to see my beetle collection! I'll go get it!" Booster ran off and shut the door behind him. Princess Toadstool followed and tried the door. It was locked…
"Oh, no! Let me out, please!"
No answer…
Peach began to cry. "Oh! Mario! I-I hope you find me!"
Mario's Pad
Toad was anxiously waiting outside Mario's house. Mario wasn't there, neither was Peach.
Had something happened?! Bowser couldn't have taken her again, could he? Toad wondered. Maybe they just went out for dinner or something… Princess Toadstool is safe with Mario, I know she is!
Wasn't she?
Toad didn't have much more time to think, as something caught his eye… Flying this direction at an alarming rate…
It looked kind of like… Mario….?!?!
Mario, flying without a wing cap, Toad noticed, came and literally crashed into his house through the chimney. Toad rushed in.
"Mario! You know, most people enter their houses using something called a door, you know!" Toad laughed. "Anyway, I'm here to pick up the Princess, as she's a little late. Uh… Mario? Wait a sec… she's not with you…?"
Mario explained that Bowser had kidnapped her, then that huge sword had come and kicked him out!
"Oh no!" Toad exclaimed. "Great, we've got to get to Mushroom Kingdom and tell the Chancellor!!"
Mushroom Kingdom (again)
Mallow had almost made it back to Mushroom Kingdom to buy his grandfather a Cricket Pie. It was close to getting dark, so he knew he'd have to hurry or stay the night in Mushroom Kingdom.
As soon as he entered the city though, someone stopped him. A blue crocodile with a bag slung over his shoulder.
"Hold it!" he told Mallow. "Where ya goin', you little shrimp?!"
"To buy my grandfather a present!" Mallow proudly answered. "He really likes Cricket Pies, so that's what I'm getting him."
The crocodile shuddered. "Ew, gross… But you must have money to do that, right? Yoink!" the croc knocked Mallow down and grabbed his Frog Coin. "That's all?! Well, it'll have to do. See ya later, loser!" The croc ran off.
"HEY!!! WAIT!!!!" Mallow shouted as he ran after the croc. "Stop him!! Someone stop him!!!!! That croc stole my coin!!" Mallow didn't have much trouble keeping up with the croc, but then the croc jumped up a pathway, faster than anyone taking the stairs could go…
Mallow tried to jump after him, but couldn't. For a frog, Mallow sure couldn't jump!
"What will I do?" Mallow moaned out loud. "That croc stole my grandpa's coin!" He started to sniffle, then shook his head. "I can't cry… Big boys don't cry. But it's just not fair… What am I gonna do?! WAAAAHHHHH!!!!" Mallow began to cry in earnest, just as it began to rain…
A coincidence? Not really…
