A Dark Warrior
Chapter 2: Let The Battle Begin
Stang stared at his foe intently. He was, at the least, a bit disappointed. When he heard of Mario he expected to meet a great hero, not some short, chubby plumber. However, he himself was very thin and looked hardly like a challenge, so as he had learned, looks can be deceiving.
Stang looked at Mario's face. By the look of his expression he was much stressed. "My executioner, but why? I've never done anything to you."
Stang chuckled, he had heard that line one to many times throughout his mission. "Indeed, you have done nothing to me but you have something that I want."
"What?" Mario asked, puzzled.
"I want your role. To be the strongest through all dimensions, that is my goal. And if I am correct you have a reputation of being the strongest on this planet?" He asked.
"Well, I wouldn't go that far-."
"If I was to defeat you than I would be known as the strongest of the Mushroom World." Stang said gleefully.
"What the- Your insane."
At this comment Stang laughed. "Oh I'm crazy am I? I'm more sane than you think Mario." Suddenly his face turned serious. "Our battle will begin now."
Before Mario could move he felt Stang's fist fly into his face. The impact was so powerful it caused him to fly back. Before he knew it his back whacked into a tree. A large crack filled his ears and he fell down. Pain filled his body everywhere. He attempted to lift his arms however he then realized something terrible. "I can't move," he cried out.
Stang looked at Mario with a grin. He held his hand out and a blinding flash appeared. When the flash disappeared in his hand there was a large sword. "Our game is over Mario. Say goodnight."
Suddenly a cracking noise was heard. Stang looked up and his face was suddenly filled with surprise. He then disappeared in a flash of light. Mario turned his head around and saw that the tree he fell into had cracked and was now falling… straight on him
