Disclaimer - I own no Nintendo characters mentioned in this game. I don't
know what is in Mario's Mind, but I know I don't own it since.I just don't.
So I should stop writing these disclaimers, but I honestly don't have a
choice.
Oh, do I see people yelling "GET ON WITH THE STORY!" over there? I guess I'd better start before they throw bricks through my window.
Mario: City of Dreams
Chapter 5: In the Presence of the WarpMaster
Mario, still in his dreams, continues to wander blankly around. For he knows that he's not going to be able to do anything until he figures what he is going to do, and how he's going to do it. Mario: Man, where's the local warp dude when you need him? Suddenly, a bunch of arrows appear saying 'THIS WAY TO THE LOCAL WARP DUDE!' Mario: You really had to put that cheesy phrase in didn't you? **Yes. ** Mario: Anything else? **One thing.FOLLOW THE ARROWS!! We can't get on with the story with you just sitting around waiting for nothing.** Mario: Oh alright. Mario follows the arrows. Just then he sees a huge doorframe, in the shape of an arch. Mario: Very original. **Don't push your luck.** Mario: *Sigh* As Mario approaches the doorframe, he reaches through the space. It seems to ripple. Suddenly, like a ripple spreading out from a pond, a huge warp appears. It soon stops rippling. Mario taps the warp and it starts rippling again. Then with uncertainty, he puts his foot through the warp. He takes it back out again (Yes, his foot is still on his leg). Then with great uncertainty, he steps back, and walks into the warp. Mario, exits the doorframe, to find he is standing over nothing. Mario: MAMA MIA!!!! Gravity takes it course (in other words, Mario starts falling), all the time starting to pray he doesn't die in this weird place. Suddenly he sees a curve. A curve? Mario doesn't have much time to think about it because he falls on the curve and is bounced through another doorframe. **On the other side of the warp.** Mario: Whoa!
Mario shoots out the warp and lands in a strange place, with quite a few portals. ????: Welcome.to.the Warp Zone! Mario: What the heck.? Suddenly, a strange, floating.THING.comes out. It looks like a crystal ball (which is no surprise because it IS a crystal ball). The face of a man, with a LONG grey beard, appears in the Crystal Ball. ????: I am the WarpMaster! Mario: *sarcastic tone* It took me a while to figure that out!! WarpMaster: Silence! I am trying to help you out here!! Mario: All right, what's supposed to happen here? **A huge light brightens the place. There is a pipe there. ** WarpMaster: This pipe will take you to new worlds. Mario immediately jumps into it, lands on a springboard, and is bounced back out again. Mario: Oh yeah?
WarpMaster: This pipe will take you to new worlds WHEN I have activated them! I have not been able to activate them, because I have not had the power to be able to do so! Once I can do so I.what's that? The WarpMaster notices something in Mario's pocket. Mario: This? *He takes out 'Gary's Flute'*. This is 'Gary's Flute'. Some kid called Gary gave it to me to help on my journey. WarpMaster: Finally! Someone who can share my song! Take this sheet of paper. It has the WarpMaster song. When your flute has enough power, you will be able to open the warps. In fact, I think your flute has enough power to open the first warp. Mario: So do I play? The WarpMaster brings out a special little piano WarpMaster: Follow this Song: 'D C B B A (Low G)' 'D C B B A (Low G)' Mario repeats the song on Gary's Flute: 'D C B B A (Low G)' Then, Zelda style, a whole symphony on the song emerges (use your imagination for it). Suddenly, a light emerges from the pipe. Mario immediately runs over and looks in it. WarpMaster: I thought so. You may leave, but before you do, someone is trying to contact you from the outside world. Mario: Let me see who it is. Suddenly, the WarpMaster's face disappears, and a new face appears. Mario: LUIGI!!!
Luigi: Yeah. I know you're stuck in your mind, so I won't bore you with all that. But I'm telling you this. I'm coming down there! Mario: Into my mind?! Oh this is wonderful, look; it would be better for you to stay up there, Luigi. I don't want you getting into trouble. Luigi: A very good reason I'm coming down there. Expect me in Chapter 6 **AHEM!!! ** Luigi: I mean, in a day or two. Mario: I am going to regret this. Whatever. Luigi: Well, be seeing ya! Luigi's face disappears, and the crystal ball does a mini-explosion. Mario: Well, here goes nothing. Mario steps back a few paces, runs, jumps, and makes a diving position into the pipe (without hitting the sides!).
Oh, do I see people yelling "GET ON WITH THE STORY!" over there? I guess I'd better start before they throw bricks through my window.
