Chapter 4: The history of the princess revealed! Hellfire's devious plot!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Around thirty years ago, outside the castle that was to be Princess Peach's, two men were fighting vigorously. One was a toad armed with a spear and the other was a human with a rapier (a type of sword used for thrusting.). The toad thrust his spear toward the man who parried it easily and kicked the toad toward the ground with a swift movement of his leg. "Still a little slow, Toadsworth." the man said with a grin as he thrust his rapier into the ground beside the Toad's head. He looked up with a face that didn't want mercy. "Kill me, your highness." the toad said those last two words in contempt. He was a rebel. He was next in line to become king but his parents gave the royalty to some human commoner. "Why must you keep rebelling against me?" the human asked. He was the king and Toadsworth was the last of his family who rebelled. He thought he could take the entire army by himself. "I only make the decisions best for my people." the king took his rapier up from the ground and started to walk toward his castle. Toadsworth clenched his teeth and returned to his feet. His hands tightly gripped around his spear with his heart pounding he charged the king who beat the spear out of his hand with one thrust. "Cool off, Toadsworth!" the king was now impatient. "I am not your enemy!" Toadsworth got his fists up in a fighting position. "Then give us back our land! I'm the only one who still believes!" Toadsworth yelled. "What do you believe?" the king asked. "No one thinks that I took this land by force because I earned it!" Toadsworth had tears in his eyes and charged the king. "It wasn't fair!" He said as he delivered a punch which the king side-stepped. "I was next to take the crown. I had prepared and waited all my life and some human can't take it away from me!" The king was red with anger now. In his rage he stabbed the approaching Toadsworth through the shoulder with his rapier. This stopped the Toad from moving closer.

Toadsworth was enraged as he saw blood emerge from the gash in his shoulder. "How could you be king if all you want is just to rule?" the king said as he threw Toadsworth off his rapier and onto the ground. "You are not best for the Mushroom Kingdom! Everything is peaceful and fine. If you truly had the spirit of a king you would be glad your land is happy and prosperous but all you can think of is taking this land because your parents gave it to me, instead of you! They saw this in your heart and that's why they didn't choose you!" the king yelled. "No! You lie!" Toadsworth said, suddenly getting up and throwing a punch. The king countered the punch with a sharp kick that knocked the toad's head up and threw out some blood. "I was just a humble man, Toadsworth." the king calmly started. "My wife and I just moved here because it was safe and a place to make an honest living. I never wanted to be a king because I already had all I wanted in my wife and our humble life but I was chosen. I didn't take anything that wasn't mine. Your parents saw my honest life compared to your greed and picked me instead." Toadsworth stumbled forward after the kick then regained his balance. "You lie!" he lunged forward but the king tackled him hard. Toadsworth flew down toward the ground and stayed there. The battle had made all his muscles to weak to move.

"Stay there and think, Toadsworth." the king said as he entered his castle, frustrated at the Toad's motivation. Help the colony or be the only one against it and face inevitable destruction rung in Toadsworth's head. He closed his eyes and sighed. The next day the king was on his magnificent throne next to that of the queen's. The castle still looked exactly the same with the exception of the silk cushioned thrones with gold arms and backs. A toad in light, metal armour walked into the throne room, abuzz with guests. It was a small party among the nobles but the king was too distracted to enjoy himself. The misguided toad was all he could think about. The queen had also left her throne to enjoy the refreshments. The king sighed and rubbed the arm of his throne. Why is he so stubborn? A king is supposed to be for the people but is my actions against the?. "Sire," the guard had already walked up to the king's throne and woke him out of his thoughts. "I have someone who wants to join our army. We tested him and he has exceptional strength." "Sure," the king unenthusiastically said. "Let me see him." Toadsworth walked into the room in a brown cloak but none of it was on top of his head. He parted through the crowd of amazed people and noticeably made his way to the king's throne. "That's the leader of the rebellion!" "Yeah, but now he's all by himself. All his buddies abandoned him!" "I hope the king won't accept this wretch of a toad!" were some of the murmurs from the watching crowd. When Toadsworth made it up to the king's throne the king just smiled. "So you've decided to join, huh?" the king asked smugly. "Don't get too excited." Toadsworth flatly said as he looked away from the king. "Well, welcome to the Royal Army!" the king threw his hands up as he said this. Disbelief went through the watching noble toads and the Queen. The toad in light armour watched emotionlessly by the king's right. Toadsworth lightly smiled.

Back in the present, Toadsworth continued speaking of his stories of after he joined the royal army. "I didn't accept it at first but I soon took to it like riding a bicycle. The king and I became friends and I really believed he was a better king for the kingdom. It was all peaceful and calm until--"

Some years later a toad came running into the Queen's chambers. He slammed open the door in haste. The Queen was wearing a lack of attire (she was virtually naked.) and when the Toad came in she covered her body with her red bed sheet. "What is it?" the Queen said embarrassed. "Queen," the Toad said out of breath. "The Koopa kingdom has declared war on us!" The Queen gasped, dropping her bed sheet and revealing her nude body. The toad got a nose bleed and ran off to relay the message to the king. "King!" the messenger burst into the King's chamber while he too was changing. The toad covered his eyes as the king hastily slipped into his royal garments. "So what's the message?" the king laughed awkwardly. "King," the toad said out of breath. "The Koopa kingdom has declared war!" "What?" the king said with disbelief. "I thought were allies!" "What should we do?" the Queen, now fully dressed, ran into the chamber and said this. "What's wrong daddy?" a small voice came from behind the toad. The king and messenger turned around to see a young girl with a pink dress, sleepily rubbing her left eye. "I'm sorry, princess." the king said. "This must be tough especially after yesterday but we're under attack." He turned to the messenger. "You, go forth with a message! I'll write it now!" the king rushed off to his desk and hastily wrote a letter.

"That won't be necessary." a deep voice came from a figure that picked up the young Princess Peach and held three sharp claws to her throat. The king and messenger turned around in fear and disbelief. Before them and now holding the princess was the fearful King of Koopas, beside him was his young son, Bowser. The king looked similar to his son except with blue hair, a blue beard and a scar beneath his right eye, which was covered by an eye patch. Bowser watched gleefully as his father taught him how to rule a kingdom. "Well Bowser, here's a tip. If you kill the rulers of a kingdom you can easily ambush them because they'll be too confused to fight back." The king clenched his teeth as the King of Koopas said this. "Here, my son. Take this princess as a souvenir." He tossed the princess toward the young koopa prince who caught her easily but she started yelling and screaming and kicking. "What are you doing?" The king yelled running for his daughter but the Koopa King punched him down to the floor. "I'm taking your land but the sad thing is you can't live to see it." the Koopa King said. "I've already had a little spat with the Queen and let's just say she really got her head bit off." the king got up and wiped blood from his chin. The Koopa King snapped his fingers and the bloody body of the headless Queen was thrown in front of him by two Koopas. Princess Peach had tears running from her eyes. "Mommy?" she muttered quietly. " I'll send you to an early grave!" the king ran to his desk and picked out his trusty rapier from under it. The Koopa King just smiled as he inhaled deeply. Bowser grinned while holding the princess. "Alright Dad!" Princess Peach was desperately trying to break the grip of Bowser but to no avail. "Daddy!" she yelled. It was all like it happened in slow motion to her.

Her father was gallantly advancing with rapier in hand but the king of Koopas emitted a deadly stream of fire from his mouth, incinerating her father to a fatal state. "Daddy?" Peach said louder than before as the ash black body of her father hit the floor. Memories flashed through her head, sweet memories of peaceful days before. "Mommy," Princess remembered. "I don't want to eat my veggies. Please can I have some cake?" "No." the Queen replied. "If you want to be a strong and beautiful leader like me you must eat your veggies." Princess Peach stuck out her tongue and turned to the king. "Daddy, I want some cake." The king was captured by his daughter's hypnotizing cute eyes. "Why yes dear." he said before looking over at the leering, penetrating eyes of the Queen. "I mean," he stumbled over his words. "Eat your veggies, Peach." "Our mission is done." the King of Koopas said. "Come Bowser. The girl is yours to keep." "I don't think so." a toad said. The king looked behind him to see Toadsworth with teary eyes and his spear ready. "I- I won't let this go on!" he said. The King ignored him. "Come son!" he barked as he started making his way past the toad but a spear at his throat made the king aware of his presence. "Don't be stupid." the king said like he was stating a bargain. Toadsworth pushed the spear even closer to the king's throat. "You'll rue this day you crossed with Hellfire the Koopa King!" the king roared as he broke Toadsworth's spear in half with his sharp claws and continued by slicing the toad through his light armour (like the one the soldier was wearing.), leaving a large, bloody gash on Toadsworth's chest. The toad was knocked to the floor, unconscious. Hellfire laughed as he called his son and with Princess Peach, they left the castle.

"They took Princess Peach as a slave and ruled the Mushroom Kingdom. This happened for twelve years." Toadsworth continued. "While we were under the control of the Koopa King we were tortured and brutally beaten. The gash Hellfire gave me even cut my heart, forcing me out of the army. I had to take things easy or my heart would stop which is why I couldn't help you save the Princess on your adventures. Princess Peach was used by Bowser for chores; she was even raped by that despicable Koopa." "So," Mario noticed. "That's where the seven Koopa children came from." "Even Bowser Jr." Toadsworth chipped back in. "You see for Koopa mating the males take the eggs from the women through…intercourse and they are able to produce a sperm for they egg whenever they wish." "Eww." Goombella shuddered but she already learned this from Sex Ed class. "Anyway, there was a resistance force building up and they were our only hope."
