Super Mario 24

The following takes place between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM on the day
The King of the Mushroom Kingdom will hand over his power to Princess Peach...

Weapon Research Facility - 7:00:00 PM

Toad: Five... Four... Three... Two... One... Zero...

In a blink of an eye the Jet Clouds took off and headed to the sky base.

Mario: Wow Toad! These are cool!

He follows up his line with a barrel roll

Toad: Hey, don't do anything goofy. They aren't fully tested yet
Mario: Fine

A few minutes passed and the sky base came into view.

Mario: All right, were getting close

Mario flipped his switches and got his weapons ready.

Mario: This is the drill. First, use your scanners to find Peach's location. Then next, try to find a good landing spot close to Peach's location. Get weapons ready just in case
Yoshi: Why would we need to get weapons ready. Nobody knows were coming, right?
Mario: You're right. But there's been so many surprises lately, I wouldn't be 100%
Yoshi: Right. This is Yoshi ready to roll
Mallow: This is Mallow, no problems here
Birdo: This is Birdo, I'm fine
Mario: Prepare to engage in about a minute...

Suddenly, something comes up on Mario's screen

Mario: What the?
Yoshi: What's going on Mario?
Mario: Something's not right
Mallow: Explain
Mario: The sky base's shields are up, but why...
Birdo: Oh crap... IT'S A TRAP!!!
Mario: Aim low! Aim low!

Everyone jammed their flight sticks slow just missing the shield. Then out of no where a bunch of shell ships fly out of the docking bay and headed straight for them.

Yoshi: It's an ambush!
Mallow: What the hell?
Mario: Birdo! Try to find Peach's location!
Birdo: Right!
Mario: Mallow! Yoshi! Follow my lead!

Birdo took her jet cloud and started looking around. Mario and his team took triangle formation and started shooting down all the shell ships they could.

7:16:33 PM

Birdo: Mario!
Mario: What?
Birdo: I found a landing point! There's a part of the shield that's missing and even better Peach is near that location! I'm sending the coordinates!
Mario: Gotcha! Follow my lead!

The three blasted their way through the ambush and headed for the shield. They quickly landed and jumped out heading for Peach's location.

Birdo: She's over here!

They followed her through the door, but was quickly stopped by a wall of Koopa Troopas.

Mario: Mama meya...
Mallow: This whole thing was a trap, but how...
Mario: Don't worry, we should be able to fight our way out
Bowser: Oh no you don't

Said Bowser as he walked in with a button and pressed it. The special armor that Mario and his friends were wearing malfunction, electrocuting them on the spot and stunning them instantly...

Mario: How... could this... happen...
Yoshi: This doesn't make any sense...
Bowser: I don't think you'll be around long enough to figure it out

Bowser pulls out a fire flower and aims it at Mario's hand.

Bowser: I've waited so long for this...
KB: Bowser wait!
Bowser: ???

King Boo walks in.

KB: No, don't eliminate him yet
Bowser: Why not?
KB: We need to make an example of him. At midnight we'll eliminate them all as a point of our power
Bowser: I like the way you think

Bowser puts away his fire flower.

Bowser: Enjoy your last moments alive
KB: Until then, I'd like you to meet the person who's been helping us all this time. Follow me...

7:33:43 PM

The four walk into a small room with a video screen in it. King Boo walked up to it and turned it on.

Mario: No way...
KB: Yes it is...

On the big screen was Toad.

Mario: How could you...
Toad: Mario, I'm sorry
Mario: How could you

King Boo interrupts

KB: It's okay Mario, he didn't mean to hurt you
Mallow: What?
Toad: Let me explain please. I've only been helping them because they're holding my family hostage. I found out about the Big Boo Mafia a few day before all this and I was caught. They kidnapped my family to make sure no secrets get out
Mario: Toad...
Toad: What would've you done! I had no choice!
KB: Well, you've done good Toad. Do you have the eight wishing star?
Toad: Yes...
KB: Please transport it to me
Toad: Here

Toad teleports the star and delivers it to King Boo. He then snatches it and holds it in the air laughing.

KB: After all these years it's finally mine!
Toad: Now let my family go
KB: A deal is a deal. I'll get back to you in a few minutes

He turns off the screen and turns to Mario and his friends.

KB: In a matter of time, I'll have the power of the wishing stars in my hands
Mario: You're sick

King Boo walks up to Mario and punches him in the stomach. Mario lands on one knee to the ground and looks up.

KB: I should kill you right now, but I want you to see the show. Besides, you've put up one hell of a fight. I should put you in one more. Bowser!

Bowser walks in.

Bowser: What is it?
KB: Take Mario to the special deck...
Bowser: Fine. Let's go Mario, there's someone who want to meet you
KB: Guards. Take the rest to Queen Peach's holding cell
KT: Yes sir!

7:46:20 PM

Bowser dragged Mario, who was handcuffed by the way, down the hallway.

Bowser: You're very lucky Mario. If it was up to me I would of just killed you right now, but I've got to keep King Boo think that I'm on his side so I can get a hold of the power of the wishing stars
Mario: Well, what's going to happen to me?
Bowser: You'll see...

Bowser walks up to a door and starts putting in a password. The door quickly opens and he throws Mario in. It room appears to be big, but it was too hard to tell since the room was dark. Suddenly, lights came on and he found himself in what looked like a fighting arena.

Mario: What's going on?
???: Hello Mario...

Mario looked forward to see Luigi standing there holding a hammer.

Mario: Luigi!

Mario was lost for words. After all this time he finally met up with his brother again.

Luigi: Mario, at first I just joined Bowser to get back at your glory hogging way in this arena. But my error in doing so has put Daisy in the middle of all this. Bowser's holding her hostage and now I have to fight you in order for her to stay alive

Mario just kept looking at him, starring him down.

Luigi: I'm sorry that I have to do this, but...

Luigi pulls out another hammer and carefully tosses it towards breaking the handcuffs off. Mario, now with his hands free, grips them and picks up the hammer.

Mario: Luigi, I can't fight you...
Luigi: Sorry but I have to...

7:53:38 PM

In a large room, Peach, Mallow, Yoshi, Birdo, King Boo, and Bowser are standing there watching a screen with the fight between Mario and Luigi about to start.

KB: So who do you think will win?
Bowser: Mario...
KB: You sound sure
Bowser: I've gotten to know Luigi. He's nothing but a coward
KB: Hmm... So what's the wager on this match
Bowser: Well, if Luigi wins his girl lives
KB: What if Mario wins?
Bowser: He gets the 'special' prize
KB: I've got a feeling what that is

Back in the Arena, Mario and Luigi were still standing there starring each other down. Luigi twitched and came in ready to swing his hammer...

8:00:00 PM
