Super Mario 24
The following chapter takes place between 4:00 AM and 5:00 AM On the day the King of the Mushroom Kingdom will hand over his power to Peach.
4:00:00 AM
As Wario continues to drive down the road towards his secret hideout, Mario continues to track him. He then picks up his cell phone and calls the Mushroom Castle war room.
Tim: Hello?
Mario: Oh, uh.
Tim: Who is this?
Mario: *cough* (Deep voice) Hello, this is Mallow's father. It is very important that I talk to him
Tim: Oh, okay. Just a moment
Mario: Well that was easy
About a minute passes and Mallow picks up the phone
Mallow: Hey dad, what are you doing up so early?
Mario: Listen up Mallow, this is Mario
Mallow: Mario?
Mario: Don't say my name. It is very important that nobody knows I'm talking to you. The princess' life is in danger
Mallow: Okay.
Mario: Now listen. I know that disk says I'm working for Bowser, but that's not the real disk. I'm innocent
Mallow: How can I trust you?
Mario: You are just going to have to; please Luigi's life is in danger too
Mallow: Okay, but you owe me big time
Mario: Thank you. Now please go to my house, I'll give you further instructions there Mallow: All right.
Mallow puts down the phone and starts heading for the door. Tim suddenly stops him
Tim: So how is your father doing Mallow?
Mallow: Uh, he's fine. In fact he gave me a lead on this case. I'm going to check it out now
Tim: Excellent! Mind if I come with
Mallow: You're needed here. I'll be back in a little bit
Tim: Hmm.
Mallow runs off and Tim meets up with Henry
Tim: I have a feeling Mallow knows something we don't. I should follow him
Henry: Good idea. We can't take any risks
Tim: I'll be back soon
*** Forest Maze Hideout - 4:11:05 AM
Wario continues driving down the dirt path just a few minutes away from the hideout
Wario: (Thinking) This job just keeps getting better and better. I can't wait till we rule Mushroom Kingdom; I'm going to have so much when Mario blows up that bridge
After a small trip, he finally drives up to the hideout and walks inside. There, Bowser is standing there watching the monitor of Peach's prison cell.
Wario: How's it going Bowser?
Bowser: She's up to something
The monitor shows Peach digging through the hay with the fork she got from the dinner tray
Bowser: What is she up to?
Bowser and Wario look at each other for just a minute and then look at the screen again. The princess is gone
Wario: What the?!
Bowser grabs the microphone
Bowser: Code red! Princess has escaped!
The Koopa Troopas scramble around the facility and started heading for the prison cell. They carefully look around and try to find out what happened. They move around the hay and suddenly find an opening to a sewer.
Bowser: Darn!
Bowser rips off the door to the sewer
Bowser: Find her NOW!
KT: Yes sir!
Several Koopa Troopas jump down into the sewer and start looking for Princess Peach
Wario: I doubt she'll get far. Especially for what's down there
Bowser: We need her alive though, so make sure of it
Down in the sewer Peach is running for her life with a hoard of Koopa Troopas behind her. She suddenly reaches a fork in the road
Peach: Left or right? Uh.
KT: This way!
Peach: Uh. Left
She runs for it with all her might when suddenly she reaches a light at the end of the tunnel.
Peach: Freedom!
Though, when she reached the end, it turned out to be a huge pit leading to the Naval Piranha. She stops herself just before she ran over the edge.
Peach: Oh my god.
KT: Freeze princess!
Five troopas had her surrounded.
KT: Don't do anything stupid now
One ran up, but using her fighting skills she threw one troopa over her and threw him into the Piranha pit. Another one attack, but with a mighty slap he was down on the floor.
KT: Sorry we have to do this
The troopa set his fire flower to stun and fired KOing the princess on the spot. The remaining troopas pick her up and get her back to her cell
*** Mushroom Kingdom - Mario's Pipe House - 4:23:16 AM
Mallow drives up in his cloud mobile and puts it in park. The door was unlocked so Mallow just walks right in and picks up the phone
Mario: Mallow?
Mallow: Hey
Mario: Good you made it. Okay, here's what I want you to do
Mallow: I'm listening
Mario: In the bottom left corner of the house is a hologram projector with sound
Mallow: Why the heck do you have a hologram projector?
Mario: Scares Monty Moles away when I'm working
Mallow: Oh
Mario: Try to program it to create a huge fake explosion. You do have an education in programming, right?
Mallow: B+ man
Mario: Good enough
Mallow starts programming the device
Mallow: So Mario, where are you anyway
Mario: Heading for the secret hideout. Though, I'm not going to attack until that explosion is launched
Mallow: I'll see what I can do
Outside Mario's house, Tim sits in his car spying on Mallow
Tim: This has gone on long enough
4:31:42 AM
Tim gets out of his car and walks up to the front door
Mallow: So Mario, who keeps inventing all this stuff for you?
Mario: Well, that's an interesting story
Suddenly Tim nocks loudly on the door
Mallow: Oh shoot!
Mallow hangs up the phone and answers the door
Mallow: Tim, what are you doing here?
Tim: I should be asking you the same question
Mallow: That lead my dad gave me, he said check Mario's house
Tim: Really? Because I just talked to your dad and asked about the lead, and he didn't know what the hell I was talking about
Mallow: Uh oh
Tim: The police should be here in a couple minutes
Mallow: You don't understand, Mario's just trying to rescue the princess
Tim: Liar
Tim throws a punch but misses allowing Mallow to throw his arm delivering a powerful uppercut to Tim's chin. He was thrown across the room and right out a window. With Tim out of the way, Mallow picked up the phone and called Mario
Mallow: I've hit a run in with the king's advisors. I'm heading for the bridge now
Mario: Mama meya
Mallow grabs the hologram projector, runs out the door and hops into his cloud mobile, speeding away just before the police arrive
*** Mushroom Castle - 4:36:52 AM
The phone rings and Toad picks it up
Toad: M.K.D.U. Toad speaking
Tim: This is Tim
Toad: What's going on?
Tim: I have reason to believe Mallow is also an insider
Toad: Tim, you have to stop making wild accusations
Tim: He attacked me when I questioned him
Toad: All right, try to bring him in
Toad continues to type away at the computer when something comes to him
Toad: Of course
*** Forest Maze Hideout - 4:39:07 AM
In his Blue VW, Mario drives up the dirt path with the hideout in view. As he puts the car in park, he looks at his clock.
Mario: In ten minutes, Mallow should have it ready. I just hope he doesn't run into any trouble
*** Toad's turnpike - Seven Miles from Golden Shroom Bridge - 4:42:39 AM
Mallow is riding for his life with a whole bunch of Police Cars following behind, and Lakitu Clouds flying all around him. It only took a few more minutes for the bridge to come into view, but on the other side, there were a whole bunch more police officers.
Mallow: Man, I really don't want to be doing this
With a mighty skid, he stopped right in the middle of the bridge and walked out with the hologram projector. All the police stopped and got out of the car
Officer: This is the M.K.P.D! Put down the device and slowly go down to the ground!
Mallow: I suggest you leave right now! This. Is a bomb!
Mallow continued to program the explosion into the device
Officer: Stop what you're doing, or we'll open fire!
Mallow: Too late
Mallow hit the button and a timer started to count down from 10
Officer: Oh my god! Everyone get the hell out of here!
The officers retreated and Mallow jumped into his car. The timer finished and the entire area lit up with a bright red light followed by an earth shattering KA-BOOM!
*** Forest Maze - 4:54:12 AM
Bowser and Wario walked outside as they herd the explosion. They smiled as they saw the red light.
Bowser: He did it. Wow
Wario: What did I tell you? Well I better go meet up with Mario and give him his brother back
Bowser: Let me go get him
Bowser runs inside and comes back with a wrapped back that has Luigi's figure on it
Wario: Something I don't understand, why are we giving Mario his brother back
Bowser: Its just part of the evil plan
Wario: Oh, okay. See you in an hour
Bowser: Right
Wario starts to drive off while Mario observes the whole thing
Mario: I'll rescue Peach first, then my brother
Mario hops from his hiding spot and runs towards the complex. Toad is still working on the computer, trying to figure out what's up with the disk. And Mallow comes out from his car to see a whole bunch of Police surrounding him.
5:00:00 AM - To be continued.
