NOTE: Starting now, I will change the dialogue from: "Hi" said Mario, to : Mario: Hi.

Paper Mario one and a half

Chapter 12: The Minor League

After 5 hours of sleep, it was 8:30 in the morning. At this time, they woke up by the Snooze-O-Clock, which is a clock that automatically wakes you up somehow. Once Mario and Luigi woke up, a strange guy walked into their room!

: Yo', it iz tim' fer tha firs' round.

Luigi: Already!

: Yep. So, r' ya comin'?

Luigi: Wait, who are you?

: I'm tha boss of dis plac'. Da main manag'r.

Luigi: I see…

: My nam' iz Bloat.

Luigi: Bloat!

Bloat: Yep. Now go dow' there an' kick som' ass!

Luigi: Sure…

So the 2 brothers follow Bloab to the minor league room down on the first floor, where Mario finds some people in here.

Bloat: Thiz iz you' room for no'. Once we cal' ya, ya come wit him an' fight! Goo' luck!

Then Bloab leaves the 2 brothers inside the metal pipe-like room. In here is a Koopa, a Shyguy, a Bob-omb, a Cleft, and a Goomba.

Goomba: Hello! Welcome to our minor league room! I will introduce you to the cast.

Goomba: The Koopa is called Kraim K.

Kraim K.: NiCe To MeEt YoU.

Goomba: He usually talks like this, so you will get used to it.

Goomba: The Shyguy is called Thiefo.

Thiefo: Hi! I love to steal things from people, so keep an eye on your coins!

Goomba: He is right. He likes to steal our coins, so be careful!

Goomba: The Bob-omb is called Black.

Black: How BOMB are BOMB you BOMB?

Goomba: A habit most normal Bob-ombs have.

Goomba: And finally the Cleft is called Rocky.

Rocky: I like to ram into things!

Goomba: He sure does, trust me!

Goomba: Well, this is everyone! Also, my name is Koolba.

Luigi: Thanks!
Koolba: Who are you?

Luigi: Luigi.

Koolba: Cool! Well, good luck with your battles! The robot fights can be evil!

Koolba: Also, who is that idiot red person?

Luigi: My brother, Mario. He got hit in the head by a car, so he lost common sense.

After their talk, Luigi walked to the sheet of paper taped to the wall and read it, while Mario was jumping around the room like an idiot:

Dear Newbies,

If you've never fought in Robot Wars, I will explain the rules. You send out your robots into an arena and you battle it! The surviving robot is the winner!

Also, no teams are allowed, otherwise it will get too complex.

If you want to be teams, then just stay behind a "leader". If you are a team member, then we will put letters by your name to know you are a team, so if one team member won, then the other one would win too. Here's the minor league's team list for this year's Robot Wars:

Red Metal A

Green Ember A

Thief Clawer

Bombing Machine

Rock Pounder

Koopa Kannon

Goomba Squisher

Yellow Shine B

White Shine B

Harvest Bomb C

Waterer C

Here's the order for the new ones, Mario and Luigi:

11. Yellow Shine B

12. Rock Pounder

13. Bombing Machine

14. Thief Clawer

15. Harvest Bomb C

16. Koopa Kannon

17. White Shine B

18. Goomba Squisher

19. Waterer C

20. Red Metal and Green Ember A

Also, you never battle your teammates.

Finally, if you win a battle, you get a point to add to your robot's status.

Good luck, newbies!

-The Robot Wars Help Team

Luigi: Wow, this is a long page! It looks like I will have to fight the Waterer!

Mario: Okay-dokay!

Luigi: Ugh…

So Luigi pressed the button on the wall and a robot brung Luigi to the battle arena!

Luigi: Ahhhh! Stop holding so hard, robot!

Robot: Beep.

Once they arrived, the robot dropped him off and went away. Luigi walked up to the large battle arena and already saw his robot and the Waterer! The Waterer looked like a mixture of a pail and a hose.

Luigi: This will be easy…

Bloat: Battle!

Luigi- Rank 19 Battle

Luigi wasn't struggling at all! Just like 2 hits and that piece of trash blew up!

END ROUND

Bloat: And Luigi wins! You go to Rank 19, and you get a point!

Suddenly, Mario and Luigi see Bloat enter!

Bloat: With my cool Place Former, I made both of you at Rank 15, since Mario is behind!

Luigi: Hey, what's with the pro-

Bloat: Shush! whispers I have to talk normally in front of people.

Luigi: Sure…

Bloat: Anyway, each of you get 50 coins for reaching Rank 15! And free repairs!
Luigi: Wow!
Mario: Yippee!

Bloat: hands over coins and repairs Also, someone's calling you at the Smoothie Bar.

Luigi: Huh?

Bloat: Because of this, we have stopped the wars until you see the person calling you.

Luigi: Sure.

Mario: Okey-dokey!

Bloat leaves

After Bloat left, the two brothers exited the room and headed to the other side of the hall to find a smoothie shop. And sitting at the table was a Toad with blue poka-dots instead of red! After the 2 brothers sat at the tabled with him, they all started talking.

Luigi: Who are you?

Blue Toad: I'm called Sakon.

Luigi: I still don't know who you are.

Sakon: It's okay, because you won't need to know.

Luigi: Why not?

Sakon: Because. Now, I want to talk with you about your robot.

Luigi: Ohhh cool!

Sakon: Yes. I really liked the name and its status! How did you do it?

Mario: Ohhhhhhh no!

Luigi: What Mario? Is it about this guy?

Mario: Ohhh yes!

Luigi: What? What about him?

Mario: Bad.

Luigi: Bad? ((Wait, he actually remembered a "new" word!))

Mario: Ohhh yes.

Luigi: Do you not trust him?

Mario: Ohhh yes.

Sakon: What are you guys talking about?

Luigi: Sakon, I believe my brother on this. What are you plotting, Sakon?

Sakon: Nothing! I promise!

Luigi: Alright, fine. Anyway, I used my imagination to make the robot!

Mario: Bad!

Luigi: Shut up, Mario! Be nicer to Sakon!

Sakon: I see… Anyway, follow me. I'm actually an employee of this place, so follow!

Mario and Luigi follow Sakon into outback, where the smoothies are made. Sakon then leads them to a wide place.

Sakon: Alright Luigi and Mario, it is time to meet the end of your life.

Luigi: How do you know our names?

Sakon: I've been spying on you guys, so I know your names.

Luigi: When?

Sakon: When you said them to Koolba!

Luigi: I get it.

Sakon: Enough gibberish! It is time to show you two pain!

Luigi: Bad joke. sigh Mario, let's kill this weakling before he hurts someone.

Mario: Okey-dokey!

Suddenly, Sakon pulls out 2 long swords! After this, he does a Jump Attack at Luigi, who dodges, but unfortunately for him, Sakon threw one of the swords at Luigi's arm, which sliced at the upper part of his arm, shaving a layer of skin off, which then started to fill with blood! Then, from no where, Mario ran to Sakon!

Sakon did two vertical cuts at Mario, who simply back flipped and landed a little distance away. Mario then ran really fast toward Sakon, and even a lot of quick sword slices couldn't even scratch him! He then did some cool forward sidestep to avoid a double vertical slice, and at last, Mario stuck out his fist and smashed it into Sakon's gut, which caused him to fall onto his back!

Once on his back, Sakon threw the two swords at Mario and missed by a mile. In anger, Mario did a Super Jump above Sakon, then did a Ground Pound onto Sakon's stomach, which caused a shower of blood to erupt from Sakon's mouth! Sakon was definitely dead!

Luigi: My God Mario, you didn't have to hit him THAT hard! You just nailed him!

Mario: I'm the winner!

Luigi: Well, at least he won't be bothering us anymore.

After this, they returned to the minor league room (they just left the body in the middle of the area!) and the button was working again! Luigi then signed up for the next battle.

Thiefo: at place where Sakon died Perfect! He left his wallet! steals 300 coins Hehe!

Luigi- Rank 14 Battle

The Thief Clawer has VERY high speed, average attack, low defense, low magic, and average HP. Luigi tried attacking a lot, but he missed most of the time! It was a long fight, but Luigi only lost 2 HP.

END ROUND

Thiefo: You won, Luigi! You get to have 40 coins!

Luigi: Nice…

Thiefo: hands over coins

It was also a long fight, but it was a bit easier for Mario because it took only 2 hits to win! He lost 1 HP from an attack from Thief Clawer.
