Chapter 3 Creating and commencing the plan
It was an early morning for Koopz's troopers as they had to think of a plan to get the Princess back from Bowser's clutches. Mario with a small bandage on his head had sat himself down in the meeting room at the main table. Koopz was already sitting there like he had been waiting an hour. "Ah so Mario is up. So what do you think we should do? I've been looking at these maps and I sent out a few scouts who should be back soon." He walks over to Mario with the map. "Okay Mario these spots I've encircled are the spots that will most likely have enemy units protecting them. We've got the donut plains, a small fortress, a small area of the ice world we will have to cross over, and then the castle gates themselves. Mario looked at the map closely. "Hmmm you did choose the best path in my opinion." he remarked. "Hey also Mario, I just wanted to say I am really impressed with the way you fought me yesterday. I haven't been hit since that time.." "What time?" Mario asked. "Oh heh heh don't worry it is nothing to worry about." he said kind of nervously. Then they heard footsteps outside. "Ah my scouts must be back." he said. Two toads ran in panting. "What is wrong with you two?" Koopz asked. "Captain! We met up with a small group of shy guys and we lost our yoshis. They didn't follow us when they saw our camp." "Just great." Koopz said angered. "Mario said "It's just a couple of yoshis". Koopz turned to him "That's not the problem Mario. The enemy knows that we are planning on attacking today now. Mario wake my men up we have to move out now before they get reinforcements and strengthen their defenses!" Mario left the room and started waking up everyone. He woke up Luigi and said "Hurry up and get your armor on bro we are moving out!" Luigi got up quickly and did what he was told. Koopz took 10 of his men and told Mario when the rest were ready to follow him. Koopz road out of the base with his sword, shield and lance all sparkling. Mario was getting his armor on real quick and then he grabbed his super scope. "Okay everyone follow me we have to go help Koopz!" Everyone got on there yoshis and they started riding at a fast pace.
Meanwhile Koopz had made it to the Donut plains with his 10 men. He saw the shy guys there waiting for him. There were about 20 of them and they weren't in a very organized formation. "Okay guys we may be outnumbered 2 to 1 but they look like they were poorly trained so let us massacre them!" They split into 2 groups and attacked the shy guys from both sides. The shy guys completely surprised by his maneuver lost about 10 men before the leader was able to regroup them. The leader was an orange shy guy with a katana. "Ah so it is you Koopz! You've caught me by surprise but don't let this victory get to your head! The rest of my men are up the path and we will be waiting for you. They rode off quickly. Koopz called to the orange shy guy "Oh don't worry Guise I'll take care of you and the rest of your pathetic soldiers!" Guise stopped, looked back and yelled to him "We shall see Koopz. We shall see.." Then he rode off to join his men. Just then Mario rode up to Koopz. "Oh no, don't tell me we missed the action?" "Nope some of them got away. Let's go after them." Koopz said. They went after the shy guys at a steady gallop. They were catching up quick when out of the air an arrow came and hit a toad. The trooper screamed and fell off his yoshi. "Look out arrows spread out!" Koopz warned the rest of his men. The troops starting riding faster and spread themselves out. Then Guise and his men turned around and charged at them from the front and some more shy guys came from the back. Mario and about 5 others removed themselves from the group to take out the archers. Koopz was fighting considerably well and was doing his best to protect his men from arrows with his shield. Then he saw Guise who was fitting and arrow to his bow, his eyes locked on Koopz. Koopz rode at him full speed and then Guise let his arrow fly loose. Koopz thinking quickly put up his shield and smacked it out of the way. Guise barely had time to pull out his saber when Koopz was in his face with the lance. Guise parried with a quick slash that Koopz blocked with his shield. Guise then stepped back and took a swipe at Koopz's yoshi. The yoshi ducked and Guise missed. Koopz gave his lance one more good thrust. Guise screeched and fell off his yoshi. He was then trampled by the battlers. Koopz turned to see how the battle was unfolding. There were only a few shy guys left who had gotten in a circle and were surrounded.
Koopz rode up to his men and told them to disengage. He looked at the 4 shy guys still standing and he said to them "Listen to me if you join me and help defeat Bowser you will be relieved of your crimes. If not then you can die where you stand. The shy guys didn't even have to think about it. They immediately joined Koopz and the others. "Hey scout, give me the battle report" Koopz yelled. "Well Captain, 6 of our men were killed. We also have 4 that are wounded." "Okay get the wounded in the middle of the column also put the shy guys in front so I can keep an eye on them." "Yes sir!" the scout replied. Mario was talking to Luigi "So how did you do in the battle bro?" Luigi replied "Well I did okay I guess do you know where we are headed?" Mario said "I believe we are headed for a fortress if I remember right." "Okay we will be at Bowser's front door before we know it ha ha ha!" Luigi finished. Koopz told his men to stop so they could take a quick break. Mario went up to the shy guys and asked them a few questions "So why did you guys join Bowser anyways?" he protested. The shy guys were kind of silent and one finally got up bravely. "Well we were kinda forced into it by Bowser." another one got up and added "Yea he threatened to kill our families if we didn't join him." "Is this true?" Mario asked. The first shy guy said nervously "Yes its all true Mario please forgive us. We only wanted to keep our families safe." Mario looked them closely and said "Okay I believe you. So this is all the more reason to finish Bowser off once and for all." Koopz then came up to Mario to discuss a plan for attacking the fortress.
A/N: Hey guys! Getting any better? I realize they are still kind of short but I uploaded this and chapter 2 at the same time for you to try and make up for it.
