Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi traveled deeper into the maze. All three of them were expecting a new fight around every corner. It was paranoia in the maze. The three brave heroes pushed on through the giant labyrinth trying to find all the stars.
Suddenly, far off, our heroes heard Peach and Daisy scream, and a low, deep growl. This same thought hit all three of them: Bowser has struck! Then they heard a pop of a lock and WHOOSH! Eldstar was released.
"That's-a one star down!" yelled Luigi, probably giving away their location.
"And one party, also." Mario said gravely. Yoshi gulped.
Mario & friends came up to a corner. Mario took out a small mirror and peeked around the corner with it. Link & Samus were around the corner. Luigi waited for a response. Mario put a finger to his lips and whispered, "Quiet. The element of surprise is on our side."
Luigi cocked his head to one side. "I thought the only elements were ice, fire, ear-" Mario cut him off.
"Not a real element you twit. This is why you sit at the pipe house all day." Mario then caught himself and said, "Anyway, we can surprise them by attacking from behind. Ready?" His Teammates nodded. "Then GO!"
Mario spun around the corner and used his Ice power to send out a rocket icicle aimed at Samus. She and Link both turned around when they heard scuffling of feet and flying objects. Samus got a blow straight in the chest from the icicle. Link turned to see 3 colors before it all went black: Red, yellow, and orange. Link had almost eaten Luigi's Super Fireball. Samus was pinned to the wall by Mario's Icicle. Then their bodies vanished and floated away to the stands to watch the rest of the maze battle. "That was easy..." Luigi said. "Too easy..."
"I know." Said Mario. "Keep your eyes and ears alert." Yoshi Squeaked and nodded. Luigi just nodded.
"Well, Two parties down and 5 to go." Luigi remarked. Suddenly a voice came on the intercom.
IT IS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT 2 PARTIES HAVE BEEN VANQUISHED AND 5 REMAIN. SO I DECIDED AS TO LIVEN THINGS UP. I WILL RELEASE ALL BUT 1 STAR.
POP! Whoowhoowhoosh! This air was filled with the sound of escaping stars.
IN CASE YOU ARE CURIOUS. SKOLAR IS THE ONLY STAR NOT RELEASED. TO SPEED THINGS UP, THERE WILL BE A TEAM DEATHMATCH. THE WINNING TEAM RELEASES SKOLAR AND FIGHTS ME.
Will Mario's Team win? Will Master Hand rule? Is this even worth writing? Let's hope that at least 87/100 of these questions are answered!
