Chapter 4: The Mystery Mushroom Revealed
"Who do you think you are?" I demanded of the creepy creature. "What are you doing in my house?"
"I said GIVE ME THE MUSHROOM!"
I could tell by its voice that the Koopa was young, so I felt I could talk down to it as much as I wanted. "Not until you tell me what you want, who you are and why you're in my house!" I screamed.
"The mushroom, Bowser, to get the mushroom!" he answered
I began speaking in a hushed tone, so that I didn't scare the kids by letting them know that A FREAK WAS IN THE HOUSE! [Audience: shhh! Mario: sorry!]
"What mushroo...?" then it struck me...that weird mushroom Mama told me never to talk about. I decided to take it slow before I told him anything that I would regret telling him.
"Tell me why you need this 'mushroom' you're talking about."
Bowser glared. "Because my daddy said so. He's Koopastulous I-I-I."
"The third."
"Whatever!" shouted the angered Koopa. "I need that mushroom!"
"What makes you think I have it?"
Bowser whipped out this really high-tech looking device.
"Acorrrrrrding, to my very accurate, very expensive [he had to add that], very cool...umm...thing...YOU HAVE IT!"
I rolled my eyes. "Like your toy can do anything."
[Bowser: huge anime sweat drop]
"THAT'S IT!" yelled Bowser, "PARATROOPA, GOOMBA!"
A flying turtle and a little brown...thing came in a grabbed me by my arms.
I struggled. "Let me go!"
"I might...ONCE I GET THE MUSHROOM!"
Uh-oh, I thought, this is bad-real bad!
I struggled some more but those freaks had a tight grip on me.
"LUIGI...DAISY!" I screamed, "get out of the house."
"I'm not fallin' for that, Mario!" cried a muffled voice from behind the bathroom door.
"No, Luigi! I'm serious-get out of here now!"
Luigi's head cautiously appeared from behind the bathroom door. He noticed me being held captive by Goomba and Paratroopa. Daisy gasped.
"Weegie, look!" she said.
"Mario!" my little brother cried.
I heard Bowser rifling through my room until he shouted, "A-ha! I found the mushroom!" That was one big Koopa, considering he was a kid, as I could tell as his footsteps boomed into the room where I was.
Bowser opened is mouth. I closed my eyes expecting a huge RRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
"Rrrr..." attempted Bowser, even coughing over his own...um... "roar"...I guess I'll call it that. I laughed.
"Ooh...scary..."
"Shut up!" Bowser shouted, obviously very embarrassed. "Now I'm the one with the mushroom! So haha!" He held the half empty (or half full for you picky ones) mushroom up to my face.
"Give it back!" I demanded, "Luigi, Daisy...get out of here!"
"But, Mario..."
"GO!!!"
The kids tried to run out the door. But a pair of scaly green legs beat them to it.
"Ah, ah, ah," Bowser taunted, shaking his finger, "you're not going anywhere!"
Bowser took out that high-tech mushroom tracking device thingy and pressed a button that ejected a rope. Daisy screamed, but before they could do anything the rope had my brother and his friend tied up, to where they couldn't move a muscle.
"Let us go!" shouted Luigi.
"Sorry, I'm not planning on doing that. I'm gonna be as evil as my daddy one day and the first thing he taught me was to NEVER let the good guys go!" He tried his diabolical laugh, only to choke over himself again [Bowser: another anime sweat drop].
I almost broke free. But those stupid creatures still held me tight.
"Let's roll," said Bowser, "and, uh, take the kid in the red with you."
"My name is Mario! And you're not taking me anywhere you little brat."
"You better stop callin' me names or Im'a tell my Daddy on you!"
"Brat!"
Bowser roared...well, tried at least. "Don't say a word."
Paratroopa and Goomba dragged me out of the apartment.
"Mario!" Luigi shouted between tearful struggles. "Don't leave me Mario! Please! MARIO!!!!!!"
I was being carried away, having given up the struggle and my brother and his friend were alone. I couldn't respond to his pleas without beginning to cry, so I just looked at my brother...Luigi, my brother...not knowing if I'd ever see him again.
[Author's Note: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I think adding chapters one at a time makes the story end up being longer (as plenty have requested I do). Sorry about having to bump the censor up to a PG, but the story is getting/will get more intense, so I wanted to be on the safe side. Chap 5 will be up soon, but keep reviewing a keeping up with Mario and Luigi's adventure.
Thanks,
