C2. The Meeting
Mario woke up the next morning very groggy. He didnt get much sleep in the first place, anyway. He got out of bed and started to make breakfast when the phone rang. He picked up the reciver.
"Hello?"
"Mario, it's me, Zelda."
"I guess Princess Peach told you?"
"Yes..and I have some more information on the subject."
"Well, the meeting is today, you can discuss it there."
"Right. I better prepare myself for the meeting then. Goodbye, Mario."
Mario hung up the reciver, and ate breakfast. By then, it was already time for the meeting. He headed out the door and went past the gate when the noticed that Ness was waiting for him.
"Mario, hi! Whats this about a meeting?"
"I'll discuss the details there. So, how's your PSI skills coming along?"
"Well, theyre okay. Right now, im really practicing on my PSI Fire technique. I want to get it just right. After all, Giygas just might make a comeback someday. Pokey, too."
"Yeah" Mario said. But he really wasnt listening to Ness. He was thinking why Luigi would do something so drastic. Sure, these past few years have been a little rough, but Mario still stuck by his brother very much. But now that this has happened...
Mario and Ness arrived at the Castle courtyard. They said their farewells. Mario went up on the stage and sat on the chair. Also sitting on the stage was Princess Zelda, and many other important people from the various lands of Nintendo. Princess Peach then stood up and went to the microphone.
"Thank you all for coming here on such short notice. Today, Mario is to bring us serious news that concerns everyone. Mario, would you please come up to the microphone?"
Mario went up to the podium. "People of Nintendo, I bring to you some serious, serious news. Luigi, my brother, has left us to join another land."
An uproar of gasps and confusement surrounded the courtyard. Mario continued. "a land called X Entertainment has taken Luigi so he could leave my "shadow" so to speak." Mario then read the letter to the crowd. Once he was finished, he put the letter down.
"Well, all I can say for now is that we need everyone to be aware of this. Please, People of the Mushroom Kingdom, do not fall into their trap."
Mario then turned over the microphone to Princess Zelda. Looking very nervous, she began to speak. "People of Nintendo, I, too, bring some startling news. Link came upon my doorstep last night, with a few suitcases by his feet. He told me that he was leaving to "travel the world." I asked him where he wanted to go, but he soon grew distraught and told me something about an "X Entertainment". They are most likely behind all of this. Please, people of Nintendo, do not fall for their trap.
Zelda then went back to her seat. Princess Peach got back on the microphone. "Well..we certianly heard a lot today. Please, people, take note of what is occouring now. For those intrested in creating a comittee to help us with this cause, do come forward right now. For the rest of you, you may leave. Good day to all of you."
As the crowd started to leave, Mario noticed a few people walking up to him. Fox, Ness, and Sonic all come twoard him, Princess Zelda, and Princess Peach.
"Thank you, guys." Mario said.
"No problem." Fox said. "This X Entertainment business sounds serious. I can definately hook you guys up with some of my technology."
"Yeah." Sonic said. "You can count me in. I'm awlays ready to help anybody out who needs it."
"Same with me." Ness said. "Im still practing my PSI stuff, but I'm sure I can be of some assistance."
"We need everything we can get, Ness. Does anyone have any ideas of what we can do to get a better picture of this "X Entertainment?"
For a few moments, there was silence. But Fox then spoke up. "You know, I think I might just have something. Sonic, do you think you could become a spy of sorts? I would ask you, Ness, but again, you dont have the ultra high speed shoes like Sonic does."
"Sure! I'm ready for a little high speed action."
"Excellent. We will begin our operation tommorow."
As the commitee headed inside the castle, Joanna Dark got out of her secure hiding spot from under the stage.
"Ugh. I need to find a better place to snoop around." She got out her cell phone and dialed a number.
"Talk."
"I got some information."
"Do tell."
"These little oompa-loompas are terrified of what is going on. Mario, of course, warned everyone and even named us. After the meeting, they held a little commitee meeting. Apparently, the hedgehog is going to go undercover."
"Shame. He had potential."
"Well, I'll keep you up to date. How's the two we got right now?"
"Theyre in a little..meeting."
"Ah, I see. Well, give them my best regards."
"I shall."
Joanna hung up the phone, and walked out of the courtyard.
