I woke up some hours later. The sun was rising over the horizon. In the distance, I could see 2 squirells running on a tree. And then, I saw it in the sky. It was the airship. It floated above Hartia, like it was ruling it. Who gave them the right to be here. Who said they could destroy these people. And then I pulled a picture of Peach out of my pocket.

I turned to Luigi and kicked him to wake up.

"AHH! What the hell was that for!"

"Your snoring was bothering me. But seriously, I know how much you can sleep and we have a long way to go today."

"You didn't have to kick me!"

"I know, but it's more fun that way"

He got up, and we headed east. We got through zone 3 without any trouble. We headed down the dirt road, and headed south like the map said. We came across a mushroom house.

"Hmm, just a house. If the people who lived there aren't dead, they certainly aren't in there," Luigi. "Let's just keep going."

"I wouldn't do that if I were you..."

"Toad?" I said.

"Yes, it's me again. You should go in there. There could be something to help you out. I'm sure they won't mind if you are doing it to save them."

"Well, ok. Thanks Toad."

"Farewell for now, Mario Brothers."

We stepped inside. This one was certainly better decorated then the house Toad was hiding in. There was a table in the middle of the room with a mushroom on it. I raced towards it, but Luigi got it first.

"Hmm, a mushroom. Too bad neither of us need a mushroom since we are already super. I guess I'll just save this for when I need it."

Luigi put the mushroom in his bag, and we left the house. We headed west to get to zone 4.

"Ok, according to the map, we should be there...now!"

There was a huge hill infront of us. We struggled to get to the top.

"Whew, this is hard" Luigi said.

"Look at the bright side, after this, it's all down hill."

But there was no down hill. At the top of the mountain, I saw that we were climbing a cliff.

"Ok, there must be someway down. There, there are some blocks over there."

We carefully jumped onto them. For some reason, me and Luigi always seemed to be able to jump a lot better in the mushroom world.

I tried not to move. There wasn't alot of space for me and Luigi, and we were so high up I couldn't even see the ground.

There was a bar floating back and forth between us and another row of blocks. We had seen a lot of things like these on our first journey in the Mushroom Kingdom. We quickly jumped on it, and to the blocks. The slightest weight made it drop to the ground, which is why we had to be fast.

Me and my brother caught the coins floating in the air, and then moved on. There were 2 more bars infront of us. They both went to different blocks. Luigi jumped on the higher one, and I went on the lower one. We jumped off, and I landed on the row of blocks, right beneath Luigi.

Luigi jumped down to an L-Shaped formation of blocks, and I jumped on a bar to get up to him. Luigi had already caught all the coins here.

"Man, this is hard. I hate it when we have to jump so much," I said.

"It's not that bad," said Luigi.

"Of course you'd say that, look at those long legs you have!"

We jumped down to a row of blocks. There was a golden block above me. I hit it, and a leaf came out. I eat it, and turned into Raccoon Mario.

"Oh, Lucky. You get to fly again," said Luigi.

"I doubt I'm going to be flying any time soon. There's certainly is no place to run."

Luigi killed a troopa koopa that came out of nowhere, and I went on without him. I jumped on the next row of blocks. There was one block that was sticking out above the other. I twirled my tail, and a green life came out of it.

"YES!"

"Hey, no fair! Now you have 6 lives and I only have 3!"

I tried not to feel bad, but Luigi was right. I felt so guilt rotten, that while I was jumping onto a bar infront of me, I lost my balance and fell. I fell and fell and fell. I felt like eternity, when I finally hit the ground. Oh, how terrible. It was the worst feeling in the world. My head snapped on a rock. The blood poured, and I felt myself going down...

I woke up alive a few minutes later. I was just outside zone 4. I went back, and got to the end of it alone. I got into a pipe, which tranported me down to the ground.

Luigi was there waiting for me.

"Wow, that must of hurt," said Luigi.

"It was horrible!" I said.

The castle was right infront of us. The door was opened. We knew w had to go in.

"I feel afraid. I know I've down stuff like this before, but that thing is giving me the creeps," said Luigi.

We summonded up our courage, and stepped inside the castle...
