Super Komario! Chapter 2: The Mushroom Kingdom

First off, I want to say thanks to my reviewers, who most of you I talk to daily at the Medlink Federation anyway.

Ech: So he says thanks, just great! Who's gonna take the disclaimer this time?

Since you asked so nicely, Ech, I'll make you do it...

Ech: But–

...Wearing Link's clothes.

Ech: Grrrrr... (puts on Link clothes) TTE owns nothing. Not a thing... except for us. And now I have the Master Sword!

Link: Not anymore! (takes back Master Sword)

Ech: Aww...

It was a sunny day in the Mushroom Kingdom when suddenly, a dirty old Warp Pipe made the "gloink gloink gloink" sound, and Komali popped out, fully clothed in his Mario outfit from the day before. He looked around for someone to ask for directions, and found one in Toad.

Komali: Excuse me, can I get some help?

Toad: What do you need, Mario?

Komali: I'm not Mario, but can you tell me where he is?

Toad: Oh, that's why your clothes don't look their normal bright red! Hello, welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom!

Komali: And about Mario?

Just at that moment, Aryll popped out of the Warp Pipe with the same "gloink gloink gloink" sound. She hopped off of its lip and ran over to Komali, hugging him around his waist and not letting go.

Komali: Aryll?! What are you doing here?

Aryll: I wanted to be with you, birdie. You're my bestest friend!

Komali: Well, Aryll, you should go back into the pipe, your brother could be worried about you.

At Private Oasis

Medli: Hey, Link, don't you think we should go back to Crescent Moon Isle to get Aryll? Komali's probably sent her back already.

Link: No. Like you said, Komali can take care of her. She'll be fine!

Medli: Well, if you think she is...

(long awkward silence)

Link: Another tropical berry, Med?

Medli: Of course, Linky. Of course.

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom

Aryll: Nah, he's probably with Medli. He did want to take her on a cruise across the Great Sea and maybe see Grandma.

Komali: He's... with... MEDLI?!

Aryll: Don't worry, Komali, I'm here for you.

Komali: Toad, where's Mario? I need to get his help!

Toad: Oh, all you need to do is take a right at that sign ahead (points to sign that says "= Bowser's Castle"), then a left, then a right, then go straight, right, left right, right, right, left, straight, right, straight, left, right, left, left, right, straight, left, and you'll see it right in front of you.

Komali: Right then. I'll just find it on my own.

Aryll: Don't worry, birdie, I have the directions written down here. (hands Komali a notepad)

Komali: (looks at paper) This is a drawing of me and you holding hands. But I do think it could use a little work. Why don't you go back to Outset and keep drawing?

Aryll: I could come with you, birdie, and I could help you be a hero.

Komali: But my dad only gave these clothes to me. You can't be a hero like Mario.

Aryll: How about if you don't take me with you, I'll tell my brother what you were doing earlier?

Komali: Good point. Well, let's go see Mario.

Ech: You know what; let's check in on Medli and Link. Shall we?

Roo: Well, the camera's on. Open the door.

Ech opens the door, and inside of Link's oasis and he finds nobody. Nobody at all. Not Link, not Medli, nobody.

Antiech: Hey, where's Link? We were supposed to get a documentary on him for Windfall Island's pictograph fans.

Antiroo: Yeah, where is he? I was supposed to do the fencing demonstration!

Platypous: Hey, here's his dresser! Let's see what's in here... Green clothes, more green clothes, white tights with "Calvin Klein" embroidered into the waist, a picture of Medli, another picture of Medli, a blue crawfish shirt, his wallet... Hey, his wallet! We can just go now and spend all of his money on ridiculous things and go home!

Wex: Platypous, you know we're only here to see just what's going on between him and Medli.

Princess Aquaech: Aw, they're probably not even here. They most likely went somewhere else to escape from us.

Ech: You're right. Hey, why don't we go find 'em?

Back again in the Mushroom Kingdom...

Komali and Aryll had finally made it to where they were going: Mario's house. Of course, since it was just behind the Warp Pipe, they didn't know why Toad had given them such long and ridiculous directions. Anyway, they walked towards the door, hoping that Mario wasn't off defeating Bowser or something so that Komali could go back to Dragon Roost Island. At least, that's what Komali was thinking. Aryll was thinking something entirely different, of course.

Aryll: Are we at Mario's house yet?

Komali: It's right there, Aryll. Come on, I'll race you there.

They raced to Mario's door, and when they both got there, Komali knocked. Mario answered it rather quickly, getting quite a shock when he saw Komali dressed like himself.

Mario: Aaah! It's-a me!

Komali: No, no, Mario, I'm from the Great Sea. I came here to get your help to become like you.

Mario: Oh, of-a course. Come right this-a way.

Aryll and Komali followed Mario into the house, being careful to walk in the exact path that he did, for fear of anti-Bowser traps that he might've had. They finally reached their destination at the end of the hallway, and Mario unlocked the door with a key that he had.

Mario: Thank-a goodness, I-a almost thought that nobody would enroll in my classes ever again.

Komali: Well, what heroic activities will we be learning today?

Mario: Heroic activities? We're-a gonna install a toilet!

Mario swung open the door to reveal a spotless bathroom that was only missing one thing: the toilet.

Mario: Peach has-a been pestering me for a while about how I-a need to have two bathrooms here, but I-a don't-a see why. I've-a gotten everything done here except for the toilet.

Komali: Wait, Mario, uh, wasn't I going to get lessons on how to beat bad guys or something? You know, be a hero.

Mario: Be a hero? The only class that I'm-a teaching is-a how to be a plumber. But, just for you, I'll-a let you-a learn the tricks of the hero's trade to-a-morrow. As-a for now, let's-a get that toilet put in!

Ech: Wow, you actually let us into the story. Thanks, TTE.

Antiroo: Now, as for my showcasing on the 'Net...

Roo: It's not like TTE's put anyone else up yet.

Antiech: Yes it is. He put me up. I love being his favorite.

Platypous: Hey, that's not fair! Let's get him!

So, what do you say, Antiech, run?

Antiech: Yep. Let's get outta here! But don't forget to review!
