A Dark Warrior
Chapter 1: A New Day, A New Enemy
"How's the ground taste Mario!" Bowser shouted gleefully as Mario slid along the grass on his stomach. Mario slowly stood up glaring at Bowser angrily. He knew that the King of all Koopas was cheap, but not even he expected him to stoop this low. Indeed, he was quite surprised when he was sitting in front of his house when suddenly a black pipe shot up, through which his arch foe Bowser, and his assistant Kammy, leaped out of.
"I'm afraid your brother isn't here to help you," Kammy cackled as she shot a blast of magic towards Mario. Mario leaped out of the way just in time. It hit a nearby tree which, in a bright flash, turned into a Goomba which squawked and ran away.
It was true. Luigi had left on a trip to Sarasland a few weeks ago. He claimed it was because he hadn't been there in a while and wanted to have a vacation. But Mario knew it was because he wanted to have some "alone" time with Daisy. If Luigi was here this battle would have ended a while ago. However Luigi wasn't here so he'd have to finish this on his own.
"Sorry Bowser, but I'm afraid I want to go have a trip to Toad Town today. So I'm afraid we'll have to finish this game." He reached in his pocket and pulled out the item that he needed, a Fire Flower.
"A Fire Flower? You do realize one hit is all I need and you'll turn back to regular old Mario" Bowser sneered as he gazed at his foe.
"Oh don't worry, you won't." Mario held the Fire Flower over his head. He and the flower suddenly started glowing a bright color. The flower disappeared and Mario grew miraculously tall quickly. Once he stopped glowing he was almost as tall as Bowser. His red outfit was gone and now was white. He was now Fire Mario.
He produced a fire ball in each hand. However instead of throwing them he started spinning. "I call this trick Fire Tornado Bowser." Mario shouted as he spun. He spun so fast that he looked like a tornado made of fire. And before Bowser or Kammy could move it started spitting fireballs.
"What do we do your evilness?" Kammy asked as she blocked some fireballs. Before Bowser could answer… they disappeared in a flash of light.
Mario stopped spinning as he saw a man step out of the bushes. He was a tall man with soft brown hair. He had a rather handsome face with yellow eyes. He wore a black outfit that looked like a tuxedo and had a black cape on his back.
"Where are Bowser and Kammy?" Mario asked as he gazed at him curiously.
"Oh don't worry, there traveling through time and space. They will soon awaken in their castle and will believe this was nothing more than a dream." The man said with a smirk.
"What the- who are you?" Mario asked, now more fearful.
"Oh, I am Stang. You may not know me now, but you will remember me… As your executioner." The man followed this with a loud cackle.
