Chapter 2: A Talking Mushroom?

Mario took out the brick again to see the twenty ghosts sitting around the table again. All of a sudden, a little, green mushroom appeared right in front of the ghosts!

Ghost #1: It's that little mushroom again!

Ghost #2: I thought you said you locked him up in the cellar?!

Ghost #1: I did, but he must've gotten away! He's been buggin' us for two weeks now!

The little mushroom jumped up on a table the ghosts were gathered around.

"Enough with the chattin'!" said the mushroom, whose name was Shroomy. "Are you gonna talk, or are you gonna fight?!"

Ghost 1: We're gonna fight, but first, we're callin' in our second-in- command, and you're gonna fight him one-on-one!

"Fine with me!" said Shroomy.

A big, black ghost came out of his seat, and went over to Shroomy.

Ghost #3: FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! Let the fight begin, already!

The black ghost charged at Shroomy. Shroomy dodged. He then pulled out a circular, little mushroom and threw it at the black ghost. It exploded like a bomb in the ghost's face!

Then, the black ghost pulled out a sword.

"Hold it!" said Shroomy. "If you're gonna use a sword, then I should get to use one, too! This has gotta be a fair fight, you know!"

Ghost #1: He's right. The ghost could just chop off his head with that sword.

Ghost #1 tossed Shroomy a sword.

The black ghost swung his sword at Shroomy. Shroomy swung his sword, too. The swords became "locked" together, and the two began pushing with all their might, trying to outdo one another. The black ghost, however, was stronger than Shroomy. With his own sword, he forced Shroomy's sword closer and closer to Shroomy's head.

Shroomy knew that if he didn't give up, he'd be injured. So, he shouted out, "I surrender, I surrender!"

The ghosts took Shroomy's bag of Mushroom Bombs, and then threw him in the same cell Mario was in.

Mario had pushed the brick back in the wall when he saw the ghosts heading towards the cell with Shroomy, so the ghosts didn't see the space behind the brick.

"Um, what's your name?" Mario asked Shroomy.

"My name is Shroomy," Shroomy replied. "I guess you're Mario because you look like him. But we can't do the whole introduction thing. We gotta get out of here! Give me your sack of items."

Mario handed it to him.

"Ha!" cried Shroomy after looking in the Mario's Item Sack. "The ghosts were so stupid: they forgot to take away your Item Sack, and it's full of bombs!"

Shroomy, however, didn't know that the walls of the cell were very thick. He lit all twenty of the bombs with a match he had, and then got in a corner with Mario.

The ghosts heard a loud explosion from the cell a few minutes later.

Ghost #1: What was that?!

To be continued...
