Super Geno RPG


Chapter 4



****************************


Geno looked up at the midmorning sky as he entered the town of Moleville.
A light breeze danced through the air and carried a few light clouds on its back,
bringing them past the slowly ascending sun. The sky, the ground, and everything
in between sent out a cheerful aura; but Geno knew that something was amiss.
Not all was at it should be. He saw proof of this when he spotted Moleville's
citizens running about frantically, gossiping and chattering as if the sky
was about to fall on them...


"Hey, mister!"


Geno blinked his eyes and looked around, rather surprised that his train
of thought was suddenly broken.


"Down here, mister!"


The blue battler obliged, and his eyes rested upon the sight of a short,
chubby little Mole-girl, who wielded a rattle and carried a tiny baby on her
back. A large smile crept across her face, and by that smile(and that large
polka-dotted bow the little girl wore), Geno could tell who she was.


"Hello Dyna."


Dyna gave a little jump, surprised that Geno knew her name. She looked him
over for a second, and when she recognized the blue battler's identity, her
eyes lit up.


"You're one of Mario's friends, aren't you? How come you're comin' around
here? How come you ain't with Mario?"


Geno paused. He knew well the answer to this question, that Mario and his
friends had been kidnapped, and that the world was in danger because of it, but
how could he tell this to a little girl? In an attempt to change the subject,
the blue battler glanced over to a crowd of Mole-men and Mole-women, and, wondering
why a crowd had congregated over there, Geno asked Dyna this:


"What's going on over there, do you know?"


Dyna could only give Geno a small shrug. "Everyone's real worried 'bout somethin'
today," she replied, "But no one'll tell me a thing. Maybe Daddy knows--" Dyna pointed
toward the Moleville Mines-- "he's right over yonder."


"Thanks, Dyna."


Geno headed off toward the entrance to the Moleville mines, and had to push
and pardon his way through a crowd of Mole-men and Mole-women who were too
busy chattering to notice him. He managed to make it out alive, though, and
proceeded to the entrance of the Moleville Mines--


"Hey there, stranger!"


That voice, and a heavy tapping on Geno's shoulder, snatched the blue battler's attention
away. Geno glanced at his left shoulder, where he felt the tapping, and lo and behold: the
very mole he was searching for stood right behind him.


"Hey there! Are ya new in--"


Dyna's father stopped in the middle of his sentence when he got a good look at Geno. A
shocked look covered the mole's face--it was obvious that he had never seen a life-sized
action figure walking around town before. And yet...Geno looked somehow familiar to Dyna's
father...


"Aren't you one o' Mario's friends?" the mole asked after a minute.


Geno nodded, and with that nod, Dyna's father heaved a sigh of relief, and all of the
surprise that covered his face vanished into thin air. A small smile replaced it, and Dyna's
father's eyes were once again filled with a friendly aura.


"Phew!" the mole said. "You had me a-goin' for a second there. I almost thought you
were one o' them cloaked men everybody's a-talkin' about."


Geno's crimson eyes grew wide. "Cloaked men?!" he exclaimed. "Do you know anything about
them? Do you know where they went?!"


"Now hold yer horses, there," Dyna's father replied. "Sure, I knows somethin' about them
cloaked men; hell, everybody does now. Where they are, where they went and where they're a-goin',
well, I can't tell ya that. Them cloaked men seem 'ta just take people and vanish into thin
air, from what we heard, anyway. That's what happened to poor Mario and that Toadstool woman up
at that Mushroom Kingdom place, and to some poor folk over at Rose Town, too. Why do ya want 'ta
know where they're a-goin', anyway? Are you after 'em or somethin'?"


"To be honest, yes," Geno said.


"Why? Are ya tryin' 'ta save Mario or somethin'?" Dyna's father asked.


Geno nodded. "There's more to it than you've heard, though...a whole lot more. If I don't
find those cloaked men soon, then Mario and the Princess and...my friends at Rose Town...may die."


"Your friends?" Dyna's father asked. "You know those people...?"


"Yes, but--"


"HEY!!! What's the big idea with you runnin' around and leavin' Dyna all alone, huh?!"


Geno and Dyna's father, surprised by the loud voice, turned around. There stood, shadowed by the
morning sunlight, Dyna's mother, whose coal-black eyes shined with rage. Little Dyna hid behind her
mother's skirt, and peeked out at Geno and her father every now and again. Baby Mite, who was wrapped
tightly to Dyna's back, giggled and cooed whenever Dyna turned around. Mite smiled up at Geno, and started
babbling, as Dyna watched her mother roll up her sleeves. Dyna's mother stormed over to where her husband
stood, and little Dyna was forced to back up, whereupon Mite's babbling turned into words.


"Ma-ma! Pa-pa!"


This caught Geno's attention, in particular, for baby Mite had his tiny, pudgy arms outstretched
toward the blue battler, and the little baby was beginning to shout wildly. Geno glanced at Dyna's
mother, who was closing in on Dyna's father, her claws ready to attack, then back at Mite, and that was
when an idea popped up into the blue battler's head.



"Err, umm, excuse me!" Geno said, almost at once. Dyna's mother had heard, and she turned
her attention to the blue battler.


"What is it?!" she snapped. "Can't ya see I'm-a kinda busy here?!"


The rage that shined in the mole woman's coal-black eyes made Geno grow nervous. "I...think
your son is speaking," the blue battler replied as he pointed to Mite.


That announcement made Dyna's mother's coal black eyes soften a little, and her body relax.
Her claws slowly lowered themselves to their sides, and a smile crept across her face. Dyna's mother
sauntered over to Dyna, who was now facing her mother and cowering in fear, and gently turned her
around. Dyna covered her eyes and began to whimper, for she feared she was about to get a spanking,
but that fear soon dissapated when the weight on her back dropped immediately. Dyna's claws removed
themselves from over her eyes, and she turned her head to get a good look at her back. Mite was gone.
Dyna gasped in surprise, then turned around, looked up and saw her mother squeezing little Mite in her
loving grip.


"Aww, you're talkin', ya sweet lil' thing!" Dyna's mother cooed.


Little Dyna stood wide-eyed and watched this spectacle unfold. After a few seconds, though,
a small tap on her shoulder caught her attention. Dyna glanced up, and right behind her stood Geno.
He signaled little Dyna to hush, and then led her over to her father. And, as Dyna's mother held and
"cuddled" baby Mite, the three made their getaway and headed over to Moleville's famous inventor's
house.



****************************


"Ooh, Booster, c'mere and let's have a little fun..."


Valentina gave her husband a wicked, seductive smile as her coal black
eyes glistened in the firelight. Booster cowered under his very horny wife,
his fear growing more intense as Valentina climbed on top of him like a bird
of prey, her large breasts brushing against his face.


"Don't be afraid, baby," Valentina said in a soft, soothing voice. "We're
just gonna relive our honeymoon...won't that be fun?"


Booster gulped. This was the part about marriage that he always hated...sure,
it was nice to have a friend and companion to play with him and keep him company,
but Valentina wanted to "play" a different way. All Booster could do was lay
there and hope for this to end as Valentina went in for the kill...



"BOOSTER! VALENTINA!! WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY!!! HAAAALLLPPP!!!!"


"LET US IN LET US IN LET US IN LET US IN LET US IN!!!"


"Uh.....WHAT THEY SAID!!! WHAT THEY SAID!!!"



Valentina looked up, her eyes flashing with annoyance. "WHO IS THERE?!" she
shouted angrily. "How DARE you disturb Booster and I?!"


"HELP US, HELP US, HELP-AAAAAHHH!!!"


The doors to Booster's bedroom flew off in a large explosion, sending Snifits
1, 2, and 3 screaming and flying right into Booster and Valentina. Valentina threw
the 3 snifits off of her, as Booster managed to get up and make his getaway from his
overly horny wife...


And run right smack into Yerin, Reno, and Davan.


The cloaked trio looked down on the unfortunate Booster, arms folded, eyes
glowing, with demonic smiles forming on their faces. This was the part of the
job they liked. They stepped into the room and over the remains of Booster's
doors, as the totem pole like man backed away. He, Valentina and the Snifits
made a mad dash outside, and skidded to a halt as they reached the edge of
Booster's balcony. Yerin, Reno, and Davan coolly walked outside to join them,
their eyes glowing brighter.


"Don't bother running," Reno said, smiling.


"This's the end of the line," Yerin snarled.


Davan looked at his two cohorts, the smiles on their faces growing wider.
After a moment, they each pulled out a piece of their gate key, given to
them by their Queen, and put them together. The key started to glow and float
in the air, forming a large, bright blue gate in front of the cloaked trio.
The key, its job done, broke apart and fell into Yerin, Reno, and Davan's
hands. Putting their pieces away, the cloaked trio smiled at each other, and
then faced the absolutely terrified Booster and company. Davan nodded to his
two cohorts.


"Yerin, Reno....you know what to--"


"Uh, boss?"


"What?!"



Yerin directed Davan's attention to the low, powerful rumbling sound that was
traveling up Booster Tower. Yerin gave his boss an alarmed look.


"You remember when we planted those bombs down at the lobby, right?"


Davan looked at Yerin. "Yeah, why?"


"Because THEY'RE GONNA BLOW!!!"



The tower began to shake violently, causing Yerin, Reno, and Davan to fall
down. Booster looked at them, and then up at Valentina, who was charging up
for what seemed like a powerful attack. Booster knew, deep down inside, that
he had to save his wife from these intruders, but also that she'd be VERY
angry afterward....


"Yerin, Reno, hurry up and GET THEM IN THE GATE!!!"


The cries of Booster's 3 Snifits brought Booster back to reality. Loud explosions
were brightening up the surrounding area, and the tower was beginning to crumble...
If Booster was going to do something, he was going to do it NOW. Booster ran over
and picked up his wife, who had just gotten ready to attack.


"BOOSTER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!!!"


Booster gave his wife a sad, and kind of hopeful look. "Sorry, honeybuns, but
this is for your own good."


Booster then jumped, and hurled his wife off of Booster Tower and into a grove
of nearby trees. Her screams and cries, so loud and obnoxious, could be heard
over the melee of the tower's destruction, until they suddenly stopped. Booster
smiled. Valentina had been caught by a large tree branch, and then another, and another...


"What are you waiting for?! Get the totem pole! HURRY IT UP, ALREADY!!"


Yerin and Reno obliged to Davan's command, and snatched up Booster with surprisingly
relative ease. They smiled to each other; Booster was obviously going quietly.
The totem pole like man let them drag him into the gate, and as Yerin and Reno
threw Booster in, all he could do was smile.


After all, his wife made it out alive.

*Ahem* I apologize to all of you who are reading this for taking down some of the chapters. I'm
busy revising the entire story, you see. Hey, look on the bright side: if I didn't, then the climax
and the end of the story would be completely screwed up and would end up as crappy as the climax in
the Tomb Raider movie. The other chapters will be back up soon, hopefully. In the meantime, please
let me know what you think of the changes made.
