Super Mario 24

The following takes place between 2:00 AM and 3:00 AM
On the day of the revival of the star...

Bowser's ship - 2:00:00 AM

Wendy: Somebody help!

Mario was about to run off, but couldn't ignore the cry of someone needing help. It was just his nature.

Mario: Hold on!

Slidding on the floor at neck break speed he grabbed Wendy's hand just before her hand lost it's grip. He pulled her up, but it was difficult because she weight so much.

Mario: You need to loose some weight.
Wendy: You're not helping.

One more pull and Mario landed on his back catapolting Wendy through the air. She landed on her back spinning slightly. The two got up and dusted each other off. Her eyes caught Mario's for a second as they looked eye to eye. A smile suddenly brighten her face as she looked at Mario, but shook it of.

Wendy: We're not done yet!

She was on the attack, but Mario dodged with ease and karate chopped Wendy in the neck. Quickly her eyes closed as she hit the ground with a mighty thud.

Mario: That should keep you out of my hair...

Sounds of Koopa Troopas marching his way told him to leave. Like the wind, Mario jumped down the hallway and towards the stairs up to the next hall. One of the Troopas walked up to the falled Wendy as picked up the radio.

KT: Bowser, this is troopa 1290. We've located the explosion and found Wendy.
Bowser: How is she?
KT: Out cold. The intruder looked like he messed her up good.
Bowser: Get her to one of the Lakitu Clouds and get her out. I thought she could help, I guess I was wrong.
KT: Yes sir.
Bowser: And keep a look out for the intruder and make sure he doesn't reach the basement.
KT: Right sir.

Mario couldn't help but overhear the location and contacted Toad.

Mario: Toad?
Toad: Yah, I herd. Make that your second priority. First, find out where this ship is going to end up so we can get forces ready.
Mario: Right.

Mushroom Castle - 2:07:03 AM

Back at the M.K.D.U. Toad was monitor Mario's condition when Yoshi came back.

Yoshi: Toad. I tried working on the paperwork, *sniff* but...

Yoshi started to cry again sending water everywhere. He even held up one of the papers he sobbed all over.

Toad: Okay, I've got something you can do. You see there have been these terrorists who've been attacking the castle for some time. We don't know where they're from or who they work for but we finally caught them. Maybe you can interigate them with the cops. You know, let out some rage.
Yoshi: If you say so.
Toad: Just follow Officer Breaker over there.

Yoshi slowly walked over to the officer as they walked into one of the interigation rooms. One of the terrorists sat there handcuffed on a small metal stool. This one seemed to be off in his own little world.

Breaker: Okay you. What's your name?
Terrorist: Jon.
Breaker: Well that was easy.
Jon: My name's not really Jon, but since you want this to go easy just call me Jon.
Breaker: *Angry* Don't play games with me! You're in some serious trouble.
Jon: You're going to be in trouble if you don't let my friends and I do our job.

Breaker started to pace back and forth as he pulled out a cigarette and started to smoke. He though hard on how to deal with this situation.

Breaker: Who do you work for?
Jon: I'm not telling.
Breaker: Answer me!
Jon: It's no business of yours.

Clenching his fist, Breaker was about to clober the guy right in the face when a though came to him.

Breaker: Yoshi. Come over here.
Yoshi: What?
Breaker: Jon, or whatever your name is, tell me what this is?
Jon: A yoshi. Green, the most common color. Can eat red shells and spit out fireballs and gain wings with purple shells.
Breaker: You certainly know your Yoshi's.
Jon: Please...
Breaker: Then do you know what it's like to be eaten by a Yoshi.

A confused look came to Yoshi as a more startled look appeared on Jon's face.

Jon: Uh...
Breaker: Yoshi. Show our good friend an example.
Yoshi: Wha?
Breaker: *Wispering in Yoshi's ear* Play along.

And with those words Yoshi started to smile for the first time at the thought. So he whipped out his toung and grabbed hold of Jon's neck.

Breaker: Now, tell us who you work for!
Jon: No...
Breaker: Yoshi.

Slowly Yoshi pulled back in his toung with Jon's head getting closer and closer to his large mouth.

Breaker: Now?

Jon had to make a disicion because time was running out. Then, he broke.

Jon: Okay, please don't eat me...
Breaker: Okay. Yoshi?

Yoshi just fround and let go setting Jon back in the chair.

Breaker: So, who do you work for?

Jon took a deep breath.

Jon: Okay, we work for... AHH!!!

Jon held his chest and fell to the floor in pain.

Breaker: What's going on?
Jon: They won't let me...

And in a flash Jon's chest blew open throwing blood all over the walls as his limp body fell to the ground, eyes rolling in the back of his head. They never saw it coming.

Breaker: What the hell is going on?

Bowser's Ship - 2:24:55 AM

After fighting though several Koopa Troopas he reached the main deck and peeked into the navigation room. Only a few troopas were montiering the controls, so Mario reached into his utility belt and pulled out a stun mushroom grenade chucking it into the center of the room. WIth a loud bang, dust filled the room as everyone in their fainted. As the dust cleared, Mario walked in and started fitling with the controls.

Mario: Hey Toad, I have the loaction.
Toad: Where?
Mario: Hmm... From the look of it, somewhere in the bay about 10 miles away from the castle.
Toad: What the? That's too far for an attack.
Mario: He must have something planned.
Toad: I'll get troops stationed there just in case. Huh...
Mario: Toad? Are you still there?
Toad: Mario. Something's come up I'll get back to you. Just try to find out what's in the basement floor. I've got a feeling something big is really going to happen.
Mario: You and your feelings. Okay.

Mushroom Castle - 2:31:12 AM

The entire castle was in panic.

Toad: What the hell is going on?!
Officer: The terrorists. They're dying.
Toad: What?

As quick as he could, Toad rushed into the jail room and saw all the guys behind bars holding their chest in pain. On at a time their chests blew up turning the once white walls completely red. After it was all over all the terrorists were dead. Officer Breaker came into the room.

Breaker: The guy we were interigating... HOLY SHIT!!!
Toad: Let me guess...

The two just looked around, when all of a sudden one of the guys were moaning.

Toad: Holy crap, one's alive!

Whatever caused their chest explode, didn't completely go off. In fact, there was nothing wrong with him.

Toad: Somebody, get this guy some medical attention fast! He's the only guy who could help us!

Bowser's ship - 2:39:34 AM

Mario continued to look at the controls trying to find a quick path to the basement deck.

Mario: Okey dokey. I've got it...
KT1: I just don't understand why they wont answer.
KT2: They're probably asleep again.
KT1: All of them?

Mario started to panic at the sound of koopa troopas coming his way. He quickly dived behind one of the control panels and got his fire flower ready. As the koopa troopas stepped in, they were shocked to see all the troopas had fallen asleep.

KT2: Wow, I was right.
KT1: I guess I owe you a coke.

The two started kicking the fallen troopas.

KT1: Wake up you lazy bums.
KT2: Just because you're in navigation doesn't mean you can sleep.

They all woke up, which made about 6 koopas in the room at once.

KT1: So what you're telling me is that you just fell asleep for no reason.

The navigator troopa just nodded.

KT1: Uh... Works for me. Probably because of the intruder. We'll be off...
Mario: Mama mya

Suddenly Mario covered his mouth in disbeleif that he just said that.

KT1: Who's there!

With he fire flower, Mario jumpped out and open fired taking down two of the troopas. The troopas rebelled and tried to fire back, but all Mario had to do was jump into the air and dodge the fireballs like they were nothing. As Mario was about to fire back, his fire flower had run out of juice.

KT1: Looks like we have the advantage.
Mario: Unlikely.

And as the Troopas started to shoot Mario yanked out his hammer and knocked the fireballs to the side. He then jumped forward and smashed one of the troopas right into the ground. He then proceeded to swing in a circle demolishing the two around him. Now only one was left.

KT: Damn you...

The Troopa was out of options as he stood defenceless.

Mario: Hand over your fire flower.
KT: Here...
Mario: Now...

Mario swung his hammer KOing his opponent instantly. As he walked out of the room, he looked at the troopa and said.

Mario: What a waste...

He ran out of the room and quickly down the stairs jumping onto a room. More koopa troopas was heading his way. As Mario hid himself he tried to get back in contact with Toad.

2:52:16 AM

Mario: Toad? Are you there?

He didn't get an answer.

Mario: He must still be busy. So he waited a couple more minutes and tried again.

Mario: Toad. Please answer.
Toad: Right here Mario.
Mario: What happened?
Toad: Most of the terrorists. They just died.
Mario: You make is sound like a bad thing.
Toad: We were trying to get information out of them when all of a sudden all their chests blew up.
Mario: What? That's not right.
Toad: We still have one survivor. As soon as he's revived we'll question him.
Mario: All right. I'm heading for the basement to find out what Bowser is up to. I'll call you back.
Toad: Good luck Mario...

Carefully, Mario poked his head out of the room noticing the cost was clear. He was quiet as he stepped out and continued his way to the basement deck.

3:00:00 AM
