Super Mario 24

The following takes place between 4:00 PM and 5:00 PM on the day
the King of the Mushroom Kingdom will hand over his power to Princess Peach...

Backroads of Mushroom Kingdom - 4:00:00 PM

As Mallow was behind the wheel as Geno and Mario sat in the back resting. An idea just popped into Mario's head as he picked up his cell phone.

Mario: I'm going to give Toad a call
Geno: Good idea

He dialed the number and held the phone up to his head. The phone rang, but didn't get an answer for several seconds. Then he finally got an answer.

Mushroom Castle - 4:09:14 PM

Mario: Hey Toad, how's it going?

He didn't get an answer.

Mario: Hello? Anybody there?
KB: Hello Mario
Mario: What the?
KB: It's good to hear from you again
Mario: King Boo... What the hell is going on?
KB: The weapons research facility was easy to take over. Toad and Daisy are currently my prisioner
Mario: Mama meya
KB: But it wasn't as easy as kidnapping Peach from Grate Guys Casino...

Mario fell dead silent

Mario: How...
KB: That's for me to know and you find out
Mario: Damn you
KB: If you want to rescue the queen. You better head to the castle as fast as you can. You have till about 5 o'clock. If you have the eigth star, I'd suggest you bring it. See you then...

Backroads - 4:13:50 PM

Mario looked at his cellphone and put it away. He then looked at Geno.

Mario: I've got bad news. King Boo somehow found out about the queens location
Geno: No way
Mario: He also found that weapons research facility and has taken Toad and Daisy prisoner
Mallow: You've got to be kidding me

Everybody looked at eachotehr for just a few second.

Mario: Let's go
Geno: Mallow. Kick it into overdrive
Mallow: Gotcha

And will all his power he charged up some electricity and shot the car forward at 100 miles per hour.

Mushroom Castle - 4:18:02 PM

King Boo hung up the phone and put it in his pocket. He then looked to the former king of the Mushroom Kingdom (Note: We'll just keep calling him king since I can't think of a good name for him).

KB: They'll be here soon.

And he started to walk off.

King: Wait
KB: ???
King: You said you had my daughter
KB: Why yes I do
King: Could I see her?
KB: Why not. I'll be back in a half hour

King Boo left the throne room and walked down one of the many wrecked hallways. Of course, coming down the hallway was Bowser holding serveral boxes.

KB: What are you doing Bowser?
Bowser: Getting ready the surprise for Mario and his friends
KB: You know, I've kind of grown a liking for this castle. I would hate to see it go
Bowser: Don't worry, we can park the sky base on the wreakage
KB: I guess you're right
Bowser: Listen, I know what I'm doing

King Boo just gave him a dirty look.

Bowser: Do you want results or not
KB: I want good results
Bowser: Whatever just make sure you get out of here before 5 because once the bomb is set, there's no stopping it
KB: Okay. I just have a little business to take care off
Bowser: ...

And they both went their seperate ways. Bowser walked into a room where Yoshi and Birdo were currently behind held, tied to a chair and gagged.

Bowser: You ready for the show

Yoshi just blurted out loud muffeled words as Bowser connected the bomb.

Bowser: Sounds like you are

He looked at the two.

Bowser: You know. This is going to be your last moments together, I might as well talk to each other

He removed their gags

Bowser: Have fun, and Yoshi, don't bother using your tounge to try to escape. It's motion sensitive so if you break out of the ropes or that bomb moves, well you know what will happen.

He turned turned around and started to walk out of the room. Yoshi couldn't control himself.

Yoshi: BOWSER YOU SON OF A BITCH!!! I WILL KILL YOU WHEN I BREAK OUT OF HERE!!!

Bowser just ignored him and left the room. But Yoshi wouldn't stop yelling.

Birdo: Please stop Yoshi, it's not doing any good...

A tear came to her eye.

Yoshi: Birdo, what's wrong?
Birdo: Everything. I was hoping we could spend our life together, but every time I find happiness it's destroyed. I hate my life!
Yoshi: Please don't say that...
Birdo: It's true. Even when I don't want to, I keep destroying peoples lives. Why?

She started to cry even more...

Yoshi: And what if this is the end, we've had fun, right? I'll never forget this day
Birdo: ???
Yoshi: Please, cheer up
Birdo: I'll try...
Yoshi: Thank you. Besides, I have a feeling that we'll make it out of here alive
Birdo: You think so?
Yoshi: I know so

4:31:59 PM

The King still sits there wondering if his daughter is okay. After a few minutes, King Boo walks in holding Peach's hand.

King: Peach!
Peach: Daddy!

The King stands up and starts to run towards her, but then 2 Boos come out of no where and grab him. King Boo walks up, Looks and Peach and then Looks at the King.

KB: It's nice to see a family come back together
King: I'm sorry Peach. I'm sorry that I had to put you through all this
Peach: I forgive you daddy...
KB: Isn't that sweet

Then out of nowhere, King Boo pulls out a fire flower and fires nailing a fireball right between the eyes of the former king of the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach just stands there stunned.

KB: Boos! Get this S.O.B. out of here. He's staining the carpit
Boo: Yes sir

Weapons Research Facility - 4:39:51 PM

The van pulls up and parks. Everyone hops out armed to the teeth just incase there were any Boos around. All was clear.

Mario: Funny. Don't you think this place would be swarming with guards?
Geno: They might be inside

They walk up to the door, which by the way is still opened. Carefully, they walk down the steps making sure not to get noticed. Still, no bad guys.

Geno: Everything's clear
Mallow: I guess so
Mario: All right everyone. You know why we came here
Mallow: Right

Everyone started frantically grabbing weapons. Mallow came across the tube filled with red liquid.

Mallow: Hey, anyone of you want some cherry soda?

Mario walks up

Mario: That's no soda. That's Red Essence
Geno: What's that do?
Mario: Completely destroys ghosts
Geno: Then it just might help us

Geno detatches the tube and carries it with him.

Mario: All right. We're ready. Let's do this...

Mushroom Castle - 4:47:22 PM

King Boo and Bowser are standing in the throne room while Peach is still there crying over her fallen father.

Bowser: Quit your crying. We've got somewhere we need to be

And which a flick of his hand he knocked out the Queen.

KB: Don't you think that was a little unnessary
Bowser: We don't have time for this. The Lakitu cloud is ready and we need to go
KB: Wait. What about Luigi?
Bowser: We'll question him when we get to the sky base. Let's go

The two ran up to the top of the tower and got into the Lakitu cloud. It took off quickly and headed for the sky base. At the same time, the van drove up to the front gates and Mario and his team hopped out ready to fight.

4:52:12 PM

Mario: You all ready
Geno: Yes
Mallow: Good to go
Mario: All right then

The three burst through the front door and started to randomly open fire. Though after a few seconds Mario and Geno stopped and noticed the entire castle was empty.

Mario: Hey Mallow, knock it off

Mallow was still firing in all directions.

Mario: What the hell is going on?
Geno: Something's... Huh?
Mario: What is it?

With his power, he could hear Yoshi talking to Birdo.

Geno: Follow me

The two followed Geno.

Geno: Yoshi and Birdo are in here
Mario: Anyone else?
Geno: Maybe, but I can't tell right now...

Mario walked up to the door and carefully turned the knob and opened the door.

Mario: Yoshi?
Yoshi: Mario?
Mario: Yoshi. What are you doing here?

He walked up to Yoshi.

Yoshi: Wait Mario! We're connected to a bomb!
