Chapter 5: A Koopa Revelation
Everything had happened so quickly. I had no clue where I was. I woke up thinking that I had been asleep, which I had, but the main reason I had come to was because I heard heavy breathing over me. I thought that Bowser deserved this honor, but I think that his hideous father Koopastulous II who was looming over me took that award. His skin was as scaly and rough as that of an ashy crocodile. And his breath could have caused people to construct an early obituary. But, he was scary old, but scary.
"I knew you'd eventually come to...Mario."
I panicked in startle. "What do you want with me?" I demanded of the dastardly Koopa.
He smiled. "You need not worry about that at the moment," the monster replied in an accent that made me feel like saying "jolly-o ol' chap", "all you need to know now is that I have the mushroom...and you don't."
He held my mushroom up to my face. I tried to get to it but...grrr...those stupid bimbos still held onto me tight.
"I need to talk to my brother," I demanded, "he needs to know that everything is okay. He'll get really worried."
"I don't care about you OR your bratty brother," growled Koopastulous III.
"PLEASE!!!"
"I decline," Koopastulous III smirked.
"Now, throw him in the dungeon!" Bowser commanded.
"No son! Keep him here longer Goomba and Paratroopa," said Bowser.
"Aww...but we gotta put the good guy in the dungeon!"
"Son..."
"DUNGEON!!!"
"We don't have a dungeon to put him in!"
"Daaaddddyyy!!!"
"BOWSER!!!"
"Dungeon! Dungeon! Dungeon!"
"NO!!!"
"The bad guy manual says that this is the part where we put him in!!!"
[Mario: super anime sweat drop]
"BOWSER, YOU GIVE ME A MIGRAINE!" Koopastulous III yelled, "we have no dungeon! And...the manual says that?"
Bowser nodded.
"Well then," Koopastulous started, "if the manual says so, we must comply! Put him in the CAGE(not dungeon, son) boys...you know...with that mushroom- headed thing! Mak-mak-dink-o-ba-dink-oba-rapepoo-ka!"
Unfortunately, the "boys" complied, and the next thing I knew I was thrown into a large cage with a little creature inside of it. Crying. No, I mean bawling. Shut up, already, I thought.
The door slammed shut behind us and was locked up tight. I walked up to the mushroom-headed...thing and touched it on the back. It sprang up in surprise.
"Wh...who are you?" the child mushroom-head asked between sniffles.
"I'm Mario," I replied, "why are you here?"
The mushroom-head said, after another sniffle, he was thrown in here, too and that he was frightened because he missed his mommy.
"I want my mommy," he bawled. He crawled into my lap and cried some more. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the little guy. Those Koopa jerks had a lot of nerve doing this to a little kid like that.
The mushroom-head finished sobbing after awhile.
"I'm sorry," he apologized, "I just miss my Mommy so much."
"It's okay, I miss my Mama, too." I answered, "what's your name anyway?"
The kid giggled and stuck out his hand. "My name's Toad! Me and my mommy work at the Mushroom Kingdom...for King Toadstool...and we get to do stuff for the king and his girls Daisy and Peach!"
"Are you serious, Toad?" I answered. "I know Daisy and Peach. Daisy is my little brother's best friend. They sometimes live right by my apartment, too!"
"Really?" asked Toad, "and you have a little brother?"
It had been so long since I had thought about Luigi. The cutest monster in Nintendo World! Those lank, green overalls that always seemed to be eating him up in them. That stupid, fuzzy brown hair. Those buck teeth. I really missed him. And I was determined to get back to him.
"Yeah! I got a little brother," I finally answered, "the greatest little brother." I smiled and so did Toad.
"You know Mario, I heard them talking about the mushroom. Bowser and them!" Toad said.
"Really?" My eyes widened.
"Yeah...they said that they need its juice to get some power to get into the minds of all the people in Nintendo World!"
I gasped.
"You have to save us, Mario! You have to!"
I knew that he was right. I needed to save Nintendo World. I noticed Bowser walking toward Toad and me. He swung the keys around steadily. I had a plan. I was ready to save Nintendo World.
