Super Mario 24
This chapter takes place between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM
On the day the King of the Mushroom Kingdom will hand over his power to Princess Peach...
Mushroom Kingdom Castle - 2:00:00 AM
Mario is still on the cell phone with Peach as Toad is on the computer trying to track Peach's location.
Peach: How's the progress going?
Mario: Toad?
Toad: There's too many variables. Right now all I can tell is that you are somewhere in the North West, possibly in the Forest Maze.
Mario: Toad says you might be in the Forest Maze
Peach: Forest maze?
Bowser and Wario's location
Wario: Forest maze? They've got a track on our location. Bowser, do something
Bowser: Now would be a good time. Troopas, stop her
KT: Yes sir
Back at Peach's location
Peach: Mario, this whole experience has me thinking and well...
KT: Freeze Princess
The Koopa Troopas burst in and grab Peach putting her in hand cuffs and taking the phone
Mario: Peach? Peach! Please answer!
There's nothing but silence, then breathing is herd
Mario: Who is this?
Wario: Hello Cousin
Mario: Wario. What are you doing there?
Wario: Why don't you come here and find out. Come alone *click*
Mario: Darn. Toad, what do you have?
Toad: They are somewhere in the forest maze. Somewhere deep, that's all I can say.
Mario: ... I'll be back. I've got something to take care of
Mario runs out the door
***
Bowser's hideout - Forest Maze - 2:09:07 AM
Wario walks over to Luigi and picks him up and starts carrying him out the door
Peach: What are you going to do with him?!
Wario: Bait
Peach: Damn you...
Wario walks out the door and to his yellow corvette where bowser is waiting
Wario: What are you doing here Bowser?
Bowser: Just to wish you good luck
Wario: I don't need luck
Bowser: You never know with Mario
Bowser walks off and Wario gets into his car and drives off towards the edge of the Forest Maze where it meets with Toad's Turnpike
***
Mushroom Castle - 2:16:19 AM
A little bit after Mario left, another Lakitu Cloud appears and Yoshi hops out heading for the war room
Yoshi: Yo!
Everyone: Hi Yoshi!
Yoshi: What's the situation so far?
King: Bowser has... YAWN! ... Kidnapped the princess
Toad: King, you look tired. You should sleep, I think your advisors could help us from here
King: You're right. I need to be ready this morning. I'll send them on my way up. By the way, where's Mario?
Toad: Uh... He went somewhere. He'll be back in a little bit
King: Okay
The king went up to his room
***
Outside Forest Maze - 2:26:52 AM
Mario's truck drives up and there is Wario standing there with Luigi tied up and KOed
Wario: All right Mario. Before you go off and try to be a hero, drop all your weapons
Mario: Hmm, you know me too well
Mario throws to Wario all his fire flowers
Mario: There you go
Wario: No no. Give me your hammer
Mario: Dang, I was hoping you wouldn't find this
Wario: He... Now before you get Luigi back I need for you to do a couple things for us
Mario: Like what?
Wario: Go back to the castle and get us this computer disk. (throws Mario a picture of the disk) If you fail, Luigi here is dead
Mario: I remember this. Toad is deciphering it right now
Wario: That's right, we want to make sure he doesn't. When you get it, switch it with this so no attention is gathered
Mario: All right then
Wario: Oh, wear this too. (Throws Mario an ear piece) I can here everything you do, say, and hear. I don't want you telling anybody about this. Nobody better find out or it curtains for your brother
Mario: You psychopath...
Wario: So... Go now!
Mario gets back in his car and starts driving back to Mushroom Castle. Wario gets back into his corvette and starts driving towards the hideout. After a few minutes he reaches it, he goes to the transmission room. Just as he picks up the microphone, Bowser walks in.
Bowser: Did it work?
Wario: It sure did. We should have that disk in no time
Bowser: Great (Walks over to Luigi) I'll put him back in his cell
Bowser walks out the door with Luigi. Wario talks into the Microphone
Wario: Let us begin Mario
***
Mushroom Castle - 2:35:05 AM
The three top advisors walk of the king walk in
Advisor1: Hello, my name is Tim
Advisor2: Hello, my name is Don
Advisor3: Hello, my name is Henry
Toad: Glad you are here. Right now we are working around the clock to find the princess. Hopefully we'll get her back before the ceremony starts
Tim: What are you working on
Toad: One of the Koopa Troopas drop this while kidnapping the princess. So far I've decoded 12%, but it appears to be an attack plan. This could give us an edge against Bowser
Don: Good idea. Keep us posted
Suddenly Mario walks in
Mallow: Hey Mario, you're back. Did you find anything?
Mario: Uh...
Wario: No you didn't...
Mario: No. I, I didn't find anything
Mallow: Are you sure? You look nervous
Mario: I'm fine!
Wario: Keep it calm
Mario: Sorry...
Yoshi: Who are you talking to?
Mario: I'm sorry. I'm just kind of stressed about all this going on. I'll be in my office
Mario walks off as the advisors start to talk among themselves. Don walks up to Mario
Don: Mario, you look tired. You should go to bed and sleep
Mario: No, it's my duty to make sure the princess is safe
Don: You appear to be hiding something
Mario: What?
Don: Admit it. You're working for Bowser, aren't you?
Mario: That's insane
Don: Is it?
Mario: Yes! Please go away right now!
Don leaves the room
Wario: Tick tock Mario. You better switch that disk
Mario: I have to wait for the right time
Wario: Well, I guess you're right, but let me just say you have till 6 AM to get back here. I think that's plenty of time, don't you?
Mario: I hope you burn in hell
Wario: You shouldn't say that about family Mario
Mario proceeds out of the office and walks up to Toad
Mario: How's it going Toad?
Toad: Well, I have 13% of the card decoded
Wario: That's too much, get it from him now
Mario: Listen, Yoshi need to talk to you about something
Toad: Really?
Mario: Yah, he's in the garden
Toad: Okay
Toad runs off and Mario looks around and finds no one else in sight he quickly switches the disk and starts to walk off. Toad returns just as Mario heads out the door.
Toad: What was that all about? Something's up with Mario?
Toad goes back to the computer and continues his work
2:48:27 AM
Mario gets into his pick up
Wario: Before you start driving I should warn you, this game is about to get more interesting. I need you to meet me at the center of Mushroom Park. We'll make our exchange there.
Mario: Let's see, that's about 20 minutes away. I can make it
Wario: Can you?
Mario: What are you talk about?
Wario: You'll see.
Mario starts to drive off. Meanwhile, in the war room of the Mushroom Kingdom castle
Toad: That's strange?
Don the advisor walks up
Don: What?
Toad: Well, I was at 13% complete, but I put in one more calculation in and the whole thing is now decoded
Don: Hmm... Let's see the info. What? Secrets plans?
Toad clicks on the file and an internet file appears with a picture slowly loading
Toad: What the...
Tim: Could this be true?
Toad: Let's calm down. This might be a mistake
Tim: We can't take that chance. If the princess's life is in danger, we can't take that chance. Mario must be be detained now
Toad: Okay. I'll trust you
Toad picks up the phone and calls the Mushroom Task Force. On the screen is a plan that involves Mario planning to betray the Mushroom Kingdom and help take it over for Bowser and a picture of Mario shaking Bowser's hand.

Toad's Turnpike - Northbound - 2:54:07 AM
Mario is just driving down the road until a police car stops him
Mario: What the...
Wario: he he he
Mario: What are you laughing about?
Officer: Hello Mario. I know that this is going to sound strange, but we have reason to believe you might be working for Bowser. We have to detain you until further notice
Mario: I can't, I have somewhere I need to be. It's a matter of life or death
Officer: I'm sorry, but I have my orders.
Mario: Please forgive me for what I'm about to do
Mairo hit's the petal to the medal and starts driving off. The officer panics and quickly gets into his car to give chase.
Mario: What's going on Wario?
Wario: That disk I gave you. I've got everyone believe you are working for us
Mario: You're pushing me
Wario: Just don't get caught by the police, good luck...
Wario continues to laugh as Mario continues speeding down the road. Toad continues working on the computer to figure out more about the disk. Peach is still a nervous wreak being in the prison.
3:00:00 AM - TO BE CONTINUED...
