Chapter Two Shadow Mario Chase!
Morning came over the island, although it was hard to tell when most of the island was covered in darkness. Mario's cell opened and the two Pianta officers entered. Mario sat up in his cell bed and stood before them, quickly rubbing the sleep from his eyes and strapped on FLUDD. The blue Pianta officer motioned the plumber to follow. "Come on, it's time for you to clean up your mess." The Delfino officer then lead Mario out of the cell with the orange Pianta officer picking up the rear. A few minutes later the trio arrived at Delfino Plaza, the bustling center for all Isle Delfino, and stood before the entrance. The blue Pianta Officer turned to the red plumber and cleared his throat. While the orange Pianta Officer kept an eye on Mario.
"Your first assignment is to get rid of all that ugliness. And remember, we'll be watching you, pal. We'll know that you start slacking off! Get started by cleaning up Bianco Square!" he barked and sighed angrily, "Honestly! How could anyone do so much graffiti so quickly?"
"Get going! Clean up Bianco Square and make it snappy! I swear! Graffiti artists just make me so MAD!" the orange Pianta sneered. Mario nodded and ran off to find Bianco Square. He found Lemon T. running around in a circle, wailing at the top of his lungs. "Lemon T.! I'm here. What's wrong?" the plumber asked. The yellow Toad looked up at, his eyes shining with tears. The little helper ran toward Mario and hugged him.
"Waah! You're safe! What a relief! This vacation is crazy! The princess is waiting for you just up ahead." he bawled, tears streaming down his face. A few islanders looked at them both, confused and suspicious. The plumber gulped.
"Too much soda." he whispered to them and the islanders nodded their heads in understanding. Mario turned back to Lemon T., smiled at him, and thanked him for helping him find the princess. He then raced down the path and found Mon T., who was staring up at the sky. He watched him for a moment with a raised eyebrow.
"Mon T., what are you doing?" the plumber asked as the purple Toad snapped his attention to him. He was surprised then looked relieved. "Oh, Mario! Why is the weather so strange?" Mario shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe there's something covering up most of the sun." FLUDD awoke and scanned the sky then cocked his head to one side, confused.
"There isn't a cloud in the sky, Mario." the water pump remarked as the plumber, again, shrugged then ran off to meet up with Princess Peach. Mario found the princess standing next to one of the many buildings in the Plaza, Toadsworth was with her. She was gazing into the distance, showing that she was thinking. The plumber called out to them. "Peach! Toadsworth! Hey, I'm back!"
Peach looked toward the direction of Mario's voice and smiled in joy. "Oh, Mario! You're okay after all! I just knew you would be!" she greeted then pouted, "And why is the sky so dark? It's not sun-drenched! This is hardly my idea of a relaxing vacation, Mario. I want to go home right now!" Mario secretly rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"In order of asking: Don't know. Too bad. You think that being arrested for something I didn't do is a relaxing vacation? Can't." he muttered under his breath. Toadsworth waddled up to him and looked up.
"Well, I'm pleased to see you're safe! I must tell you...we were walking around town earlier, and... it seems the area near the Shine Gate is still quite bright... Perhaps you should check it out, Master Mario..." the elder Toad advised. The plumber agreed to it as soon as he cleaned up the area. FLUDD looked around and spotted an area worth cleaning up.
"Mario, Bianco Square is over there..." he said, facing right. The plumber followed his gaze and his jaw dropped in shock. The entire area was covered in brown goo! "Aw, man. I guess that's what the Piantas wanted me to clean up. Geez! It's gonna take hours to clean it up!" His partner shook his head and seemed to give him a sly grin.
"Not really. Just clean up enough to give us a path to fight that thing in the paint again. Defeat the thing and the rest will evaporate." the pump quipped. The red plumber laughed, embarrassed, "Oh, yeah. Forgot." Mario took a deep breath and ran toward the mass of goop.
It only took him a few seconds to reach the edge of the brown pool of paint and discover something new. Multicolored bubble-type creatures emerged from the pool. They didn't do very much, just wander around and pop. Mario stared at them, awed and confused. FLUDD scanned them.
"These are *Droplets. All they do is wander around and pop, spreading the paint around. But they can be an annoyance. If you're not careful." the pump warned. Mario had a doubtful look on his face.
"And exactly how do they become a threat, FLUDD?" "By jumping on you and splattering paint all over you. Do you really want to be covered in paint, Mario?" ".Good point. FLUDD: 1 and Mario: 0. Dang."
Mario aimed and sprayed a path for him to run across. That's when the Droplets popped up and began to wander into the path. The red plumber scurried across the path toward the brown mass of paint. He skidded to a stop and sprayed the mass until Polluted Piranha emerged from the paint again. It glared at the plumber in hatred. Stop him. Just stop Mario at any cost! EAT HIM IF YOU HAVE TOO! its master snarled. Whatever its master wanted.Polluted Piranha got for him. It lunged at Mario, its mouth opened wide.
The red plumber dodged to one side and sprayed, hoping to hit it in the mouth. It did. The paint monster yowled in pain and spat a paintball. The plumber dodged again and sprayed again. Only to watch in horror as the enemy duck into the paint mass, avoiding the attack. It roared from within the mass. Suddenly, a tiny army of Droplets popped out of the paint and came at Mario. The hero ignored them and sprayed the mass, luring Polluted Piranha out. The giant paint monster opened its mouth. Mario took aim. Bam! The plumber was tackled from behind, sending him sliding into the paint. Mario picked himself up on all fours, almost entirely covered in brown paint. He spat out a bit of paint from his mouth. "What was that, FLUDD? What tackled me?" he asked as FLUDD scanned him for injuries. "The Droplets. I told you that'll be an annoyance if not taken seriously. I hate to say, I told you so but.I told you so." the pump answered, shaking off some brown paint. Polluted Piranha snickered, deeply from its throat. The plumber glared at it. "HEY! WHO SAID YOU COULD LAUGH?!" Mario snapped, spraying into its mouth when it opened it to mock him. The painted piranha shrieked in agony and roared for more Droplets. The little bubbles of paint popped up again from the paint. "Mario! Forget Polluted Piranha! Spray the Droplets!" FLUDD advised and Mario did so. But the problem was, the more they sprayed the Droplets the more of them popped up from the paint to replace the sprayed ones! Then came the horror dry sputter. Mario and FLUDD froze. The plumber pressed the fire button again. Errrrth. Again. Errrrth. Again. Errrrth.
Mario's blue eyes went wide.Uhhhhh-ohhh. An empty tank?! NOW!? the plumber thought, shocked. FLUDD coughed out nothing but air. Yep. No more water. "Mrrrraaaallll!!!" came Polluted Piranha's roar. FLUDD looked up in horror. "Mario! Jump!" the pump shrieked. Mario hurled himself away from the piranha plant's lung attack. He skidded across the area toward a small outcropping. He bumped into it, stunning himself. There was a quiet murmur coming from the outcropping. A familiar murmur. Mario peeked over the brick wall and found.water! It was a small fountain of water! The red plumber leaped over the wall and landed in the water. He pressed the fire button. But instead of firing, FLUDD sucked up the water 'til his tank was full. Mario turned to Polluted Piranha. "Hey! Polluted Piranha!" The paint plant turned to him, growling, opening its mouth. "Drink UP!" Mario sneered and fired a stream of cool water into the Piranha's mouth. "MRRRRAAAALLLL!!!!" it let lose its death scream, a high-pitched shriek, as it melted away. Mario and FLUDD cheered in victory. RUMBLE.! RUMBLE.!
The ground quaked with enough force to shake the entire area of Delfino Plaza. Everyone turned to the sound and froze. A Pianta statue emerged from the ground. But it wasn't the statue that shocked Mario, FLUDD, Toadsworth and Peach. It's what's on it.
"Princess look! On the statue's head!!" shrieked the elder Toad, using his cane to point at it. Peach's blue eyes went wide. "What.?!" she murmured in pure shock as the shadowed Mario she saw before stood tall on the statue's head. He glared at Mario in pure hatred, griping his odd looking brush in his hand. He shifted his vision to her, his eyes glowing a menacing red. ".Mario?!" He stared at her for a second before taking a flying leap off the statue's head toward her. He landed gracefully on the ground, scampered over to Peach, picked her up, slung her over his shoulder and took off down the street; not before he painted a giant 'M' symbol on the ground where Peach once stood. Mario was in complete shock. A shadowed version of him! And he had Peach! "Mario! A kidnapping! Stop the criminal by spraying him with water!" FLUDD yelled. The red plumber raced after him, rounded the corner, and spoke out to his evil counter part. "Who are you and what do you want from the princess?" Mario asked angrily. The figure glared at him before he smiled. "Call me.Shadow Mario. As for my business with the princess. it's none of your concern." Shadow Mario hissed darkly. Yet somehow he sounded like a child. The plumber growled, aimed and sprayed. FLUDD tilted his head back to spew the water further. It hit the evil Mario square in the face. He sputtered in anger, painted yet another 'M' symbol, and wall jumped up to the upper area of Delfino Plaza. Mario followed and noticed the symbol. "So, it was him who framed me! He polluted the island! And I'm getting blamed for it!" Mario realized and wall jumped to follow him.
He met up with him again and sprayed. Shadow Mario sputtered again, painted the same symbol and raced off. This continued on for a few minutes before Shadow Mario finally fell down in exhaustion, dropping the princess in the process. He laid there gasping and panting for air as he thrashed about in anger. Mario raced up to him, tired as well. "OwowowOW! Not fair! Completely unfair! You shouldn't be allowed to use tools like that!" he wailed then gave a sudden wicked grin. He leapt up, knocking Mario off balance, and turned into a dark blue/black ball of light, racing away toward the statue. Mario gave chase. "Mario! I'm sure I saw that person out on the Airstrip! I'm positive he's responsible for all this! Chase him!" Peach called out to her rescuer. "Mario! He's going to the square! Get him!" FLUDD urged as the plumber raced after Shadow Mario. The look-alike stood in front of the statue, laughing darkly at Mario, who growled and ran at him. Shadow Mario whirled around, painted another 'M' on the wall.only it was rainbow in color, zipped in inside. The red plumber skidded to a halt. He and FLUDD stared at it, stunned. "Did you just see what I just saw?" he asked the water tank. FLUDD nodded. "Mario! He escaped into the graffiti! Go follow him!" the pump cried as his partner cocked his head to one side in shock and annoyance. "And HOW exactly do I follow him!? I'm not made out paint, ya know!" Mario griped, studying the painting. "Try spraying it with water!"
Mario shrugged and sprayed it. It glowed in a soft colorful light. The duo looked at each other, back at the painting, then back at each other before shrugging and leaping into the a brand new area to them. The 'M' painting showed the area where Shadow Mario escaped into.
