Chapter 7: Crazed Pianta
3 Chapter Info: Previously in Mario's New Adventure…. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi had escaped Bone's Cave, and they arrived at a mysterious small town. Here, they go to a hotel, and are trapped in a Ghost Dungeon! There they fight a blue boo, and they succeed. But, Bowser arrives at the town, right after the heroes escape the ghosts! Here, they battle, and Yoshi gets severely injured. So, Warpster appears after Mario wins the match… He sends Bowser away, heals Yoshi, and leaves the heroes to continue their quest… The story continues….
Mario's Part
Mario was glad that Warpster healed his ally, but there were so many things he needed to know that weren't explained. He needed to know some serious things… One thing that stuck to his mind was the fact that Bowser and his army relocated. Where had they gone? Did they go to…. Did they all die? Mario was unsure, and concerned about Bowser and his crew, for once. He thought about this for quite some time. While lost in thought, Luigi yelled. Mario, sitting down, fell completely. He whacked his head on a rock.
"Mario! Yoshi is alive! He woke up!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Hmm… Well that's good," Mario responded rubbing his aching head.
"No! It's terrific!" Luigi shouted.
"Good and terrific… Nevermind… How are you feeling?" Mario questioned. The dinosaur merely mumbled. "What?" Mario asked.
"Uh… My head is killing me, can't remember anything, yeah I'm fine," Yoshi said.
"That's my ally," Mario remarked.
"So where are we headed?" the dinosaur eagerly asked.
Mario pulled out the map, and looked around. "Blooper Harbor, which is… very close by," Mario said.
"How close?" Luigi asked.
"Uhh… Maybe 4 to 5 miles," Mario replied.
"Hmm…. Decent pace will get us there in no time," Yoshi said.
"Yeah! Let's a go!" Luigi declared yet again. So the three heroes carried on, trudging on the sand terrain that was unfertile. No plant life seemed to grow around these parts, as it was barren, as well as empty. Mario was shocked, as he usually journeyed to nicer places than this. Perhaps the Uncharted Kingdom was named because no one wanted to name it, not because people died, and never created a name. Even if it was the worst kingdom in the world, Mario needed to name it, he was determined about that. As he walked on, a guy blocked him. It was a Pianta.
"Excuse me sir… You're in my way," Mario said.
"No! You're in my way!" the Pianta shouted. He grabbed Mario and hurled him to a wall. "Heh…. You lack the fighting potential on the streets," the Pianta remarked. Mario got up.
"Sorry, I don't beat on innocent people, but I can beat you up if required," Mario said as calmly as he could, though rage was building within getting stronger every second.
"Hehe… So you act like a hero eh? That's a loser" the Pianta stated.
"Look man, that's Mario you're talking to, leave him alone! He deserves more respect than that!" Yoshi growled. The Pianta turned around and glanced at Yoshi.
"Hehehe… A mule eh? You're one of them Yoshis… Pathetic," the Pianta commented.
It was then Luigi who spoke up. "Hey, leave my friend and bro alone!" he yelled.
"Brother? HA! You walk around with your brother everywhere you go? That's childish," the Pianta laughed.
Mario had had it. He charged into the Pianta and punched him down. Mario stood tall, and glanced down. "Pathetic? Me? Or my friend and brother? I think not," Mario boldly said.
The Pianta grabbed for Mario's right leg and pulled him down. He then stood up, holding the plumber. He took out a dagger, and pointed it at Mario.
"No one move, or Mario over here gets it," the Pianta threatened.
"What? NOOO!" Yoshi screamed.
"Hehehe…… You're going down! Well, you're friends over here is!" the Pianta laughed.
"Evil!" Luigi bellowed.
"You be quite, you and that dinosaur will both die, if you move… I'll kill you after your friend!" he threatened.
Mario was silent, and as Yoshi noticed…. Smirking! Why was he grinning at a time like this? What was going on? Then, an amazing event occurred, a very bold move… Mario, with his free foot, kicked the dagger out of the Pianta's hand. Mario then kicked the Pianta in the face, and he was released. Mario dove and caught the knife. He threw it far away, and laughed.
"You call us pathetic? Weapons are for babies man!" Mario laughed aloud.
The Pianta started sweating, and he began to walk away.
"That's right, run… This is what happens when you mess with the Mario brothers…" he said, as the Pianta ran in fear.
"Let's go," Yoshi said.
"Right," Luigi agreed.
"What's this? Now you both steal my let's go line! It's Let's a go!" Mario screamed.
"Whatever, let's leave," Luigi said. With that, the heroes headed to the next destination. Blooper Harbor was the next place…
Peach's Part
It was evening, and Peach had just had her meal of stale bread. She looked around the empty room she stayed in. She was sweating, as she had just returned from her day of work. Life was hard here in all of the heat produced from the magma. Then a Toad entered the room.
"Princess Magma wants a word with you. Please follow me," he said.
"Alright then…" Peach answered. So she followed the Toad to a tunnel. It was pitched black.
"Don't worry, just walk until you see light," the Toad said. So Peach, without another word, walked through the tunnel… Which got hotter and hotter. They were getting way too close to where the magma was… Finally, they had exited the tunnel.
"Alright, wait here, until you are called in," the Toad explained. Peach nodded, as the Toad headed back up the tunnel. After twenty minutes, the doors to the princess's room opened. Peach entered, and saw the princess staring right at her.
"Welcome… Peach, I was expecting you… Sorry to keep you waiting, hope the heat didn't get to you," she said laughing.
"No, it's uh… fine," she answered, trying not to complain. If she did, then things would get ugly, she had already learned that here.
"Alright then… I called you down, because I'm letting you go… On a mission, and you are to return here right away," the princess told her.
"Sounds fine so far," Peach said.
"Yes well…. I'm giving you money to buy food for yourself, so you don't die on me… Luckily, you are journeying to a frigid place called Toad Mountain. You must journey to the top of one of the mountains, the biggest one… Up on top, you will find a Toad named Tubby the 8th. You must kidnap him, and bring him back here. Not to worry, once you have caught him, I will transport you back here pronto. Got it?" the princess asked.
"Yes," Peach replied.
"Good, oh… and if you try to run, you will be transported back here, and be punished severely. I'll be watching you on this…" She said, as she pointed to a large TV. "I will make sure you do as told," she said.
"Okay, sounds good," Peach answered.
"Tomorrow morning, you will be sent… Get some sleep, I'm waking you at six in the morning," the princess said.
"Okay, I'll be ready," Peach answered.
"Good, then off you go."
With those words, Peach left… She didn't want to stay here, anywhere was better. And she couldn't wait for the cold rush… She needed it… So she fell to sleep content.
Bowser's Part
……….
……….
……….
"Bowser! Bowser!" Kamek roared.
……..
……..
……..
"Wake up!" Kamek bellowed, whacking him across the face. Bowser woke up…
"What's going on?" he asked… But he heard no more, he fell down yet again. This time, he wouldn't wake up….
To Be Continued in Chapter 8…. Blooper Harbor
