Chapter 4: Part One- The Sacrifice

Mario had no idea where the Zoshis were taking him and his friends- It seemed like they had been walking for an hour when they finally reached a village in what looked like the densest part of the jungle where almost no light seemed to be coming through the thick layers of trees. He could see a small sign the entrance to the village that read: ZOSHI VILLAGE. Mario didn't know what was going to happen next.

"Why are you bringing us here? We didn't do anything wrong!" argued Toadette, although Mario realized she wasn't going to change the Zoshi leader's mind.

"Quiet, you!" retorted the sinister looking Zoshi leader, "Or you'll end up in a lot more trouble then you already are."

As the Zoshis were taking them further into the village, Mario could tell that the Zoshis were not the happiest looking Yoshis around. He saw many give him evil looks and many that looked very dangerous. He kept wondering where they were being taken…

"Hey, why don't you let go of me!" shouted Toadette in anger. "I'm not about to run away surrounded by all you creeps!" Mario could tell that Toadette's bickering was going to get her into more trouble. Yoshi, Tina, and he were keeping quiet.

"Alright, one more word out of you and I'm gonna"-

"What are you gonna do to me?" continued Toadette.

"THAT'S IT!" screamed Zoshi. "Everyone, we have ourselves a sacrifice!" Mario's heart began to beat more rapidly. What were they going to do to Toadette.

Almost right after the words escaped Zoshis mouth, several of the larger Zoshis grabbed Toadette and threw her into a cage that was hung right above a large pit of fire. Toadette looked horrified.

"What are you doing!" She shouted. "I didn't do anything wrong! Get me out of here now!"

"First you invaded our jungle" Zoshi continued, "And now you are being incredibly annoying. You must pay!"

"Wait, I know how we can solve this!" interrupted Yoshi. "I'm a Yoshi, I can talk to the Yoshis on Yoshi island and convince them to allow you to come back, I'm sure I could!"

Mario could tell that his offer was no good.

"And who said that we even wanted to go back to that stupid island, anyway?" said Zoshi. "We like it much better here where we can be left in peace. Anyway, let's get on with it!"

"Mario, you have to do something quick!" pleaded Toadette, tears about to run down her face."

"Hold on, you're Mario?" Zoshi asked curiously. "The Mario that got rid of all the horrid graffiti that was on this island?

"Um" started Mario. "Yeah, I did get rid of all the graffiti on the island, but what does that have to do with anything?"

"Release the girl!" Zoshi shouted, and many Zoshis did what he was told. "Mario, it is because of you that our village is clean again! It was covered in goop, but when you got all of the shine sprites to return to the village, it all when away instantly! We owe you so much, is there anything we can do for you?"

"Hmm…" Mario thought.

"Actually, um" began Tina nervously, "There is one thing you can do for us. Like we said before, Bianco Hills is under attack by Petey Piranha, and we could really use some help if we're going to take him down. Do you think you could help us?"

Zoshi seemed to be thinking about it, but finally made up his mind.

"Of course w will help Mario and the rest of you with the Petey guy! You eight, come with us. Mario, feel free to ride a Zoshi, and the rest of you can do the same."

"Thank you so much!" exclaimed Tina happily. "Mario, I think we may be able to do this now!

"Yeah, with the Zoshis we'll be unstoppable!" Let's get going everyone!"

Mario, Tina, Yoshi, and a still angry Toadette hopped on a Zoshi and began their journey to Bianco hills yet again, a lot further from where they had started.

Part 2- Stranded

Peach was sitting on the shore, thinking about what they should do. There were so many things on her mind: Sharks, Daisy dead, and the fact that they were stranded on this island until they could find another boat. She had no idea where to go from here.

"So do you think you could fix this boat, Master…um…what was you name again?" asked Toadsworth to the driver of the now broken boat they had taken to Pinna Park.

"It's Nino, sir" replied the Driver, "And no, I don't really know how to fix these things, I only drive them. But I guess I could try. Anybody wanna help?"

"Sure, I will" answered Luigi, still upset about what had happened to Daisy.

"And the rest of us will go into the park to see what they can do" said Peach. "Maybe the owner of this place has a boat that we can borrow to get back to the Island."

"Good idea, Princess" replied Toadsworth, "This will give Toad and Pablo the chance to ride all of the rides."

"Hurray!" shouted Toad and Pablo together. Peach was angry at the fact that none of them seemed to care much about the death of Daisy, except her and Luigi.

"Alright, let's go" she said. She left Luigi and Nino to try to fix the boat and led the rest of them up to the entrance of Pinna Park. "Hello sir" Peach said to the man at the entrance. "How much does it cost for the four of us to get in?"

"Well," replied the small Noki, "its twenty dollars a person, so that'll come to eighty buck please."

"Eighty bucks!" My god, I'll be out of money soon enough. Well, here you go sir. Come on guys, we're not going to be here too long. I hope."

"Peach and the rest of the group entered the large and beautiful park, and while Pablo and Toad ran off almost instantly, Peach and Toadsworth began searching for the owner to discuss there terrible ordeal. It was only fifteen minutes until they found him at the entrance to the roller coaster.

"Oh sir, thank goodness we found you!" exclaimed Peach, "Our boat crashed on this island and we need your help!"

"Ah, Princess Peach," replied the owner, "It's good to see all of you again. Now, what's happened? Your boats crashed here? Well, that gives you all the more reason to stay here for a little while and have a good time!"

"Sir," continued Toadsworth, "I don't think you quite understand. One of our dear friends was eaten by a shark and we really must inform the police of this tragedy!" The owner seemed to have not have heard Toadsworth at all.

"What was that, old Toad? I wasn't listening. Anyway there really are a lot of things I need to get done. Have fun at Pinna Park!" And he quickly walked away, ignoring the screams from Peach to come back and listen to them.

Part 3- Bowser's Sub

Daisy awoke in a large gray cell, having no clue where she was or if she was even alive. "Wait a minute, I was eaten by a shark," she thought to herself. "I guess this must be heaven…"

"Quiet, you stupid Princess!" exclaimed a large, scary figure standing a few feet away from Daisy on the other side of the jail cell. "Of course this isn't heaven you idiot. Once again Princess Peach has been captured by Bowser and I will now rule this Island and the whole Mushroom Kingdom! Muahahaha!."

"Huh? Bowser is that you? I'm Princess Daisy, not Princess Peach! I'm just wearing her dress because somebody threw up on mine! Who's the idiot now…"

"What!" Bowser exclaimed angrily, "How did my son mix you two up! He's going to pay for this….Well anyway; my plan will still work perfectly. Peach was only going to be used for the back up plan. But I have people working for me on the island that will make Mario fall for my trap."

"You're never going to get away with this!" Daisy replied. "Mario will stop you like he always does and your stupid plans never work anyway!"

"Ah, but this plan is much better then all of the others combined!" retorted Bowser, wearing a smirk on his face. "Mario isn't going to know what hit him. I bet you wish you knew, but unfortunately I cannot let you know, you might escape and tell everyone. So for now I will just leave you in that cell with that Pantisimo person, and we'll see what happens later! So long Princess…um…Debbie".

Bowser walked out of the dark room, and Daisy realized that there was somebody else in the cell with her, a small, purple thing with a plant on the top of his head. It was II Piantisimo.
