Unusual Heroes

Luigi, Phantom, Frankly, Murlee, and Peach walked to the dark castle, Lord Bowser's Castle, "what is your business with Lord Bowser?" one guard asked as they walked to the door.

"We…," Peach sighed heavily then mumbled, "Need help from Bowser."

"Fine!" the guard tapped his spear on the ground two large doors opened, "why are we here?" Phantom asked.

"You couldn't defeat Kegora by yourself," Luigi responded. They entered the throne room, "who the hell approaches the great and powerful Bowser!" Bowser roared.

"We do ya jerk!" Luigi responded annoyed.

"You dare insult me! I could crush you with out even tiring!"

"Oh please help Lord Bowser you're our only hope," Peach said sarcastically.

"Don't waste my time what do you want?"

"We need your help," Phantom said.

"Ha! You're funny!" Bowser laughed.

"Lord Bowser," Kammy came to his side, "this is the great Phantom!"

"This is the great wizard! Get out of my sight!"

"Wait, how bout a deal?" Frankly asked, "A fight between you and Phantom what do you say?"

"You interest me, continue!" Bowser ordered.

"If Phantom wins the fight, then you help us."

"And when I win you will all rot in my cell!" The group whispered to each other, they all turned to Bowser, "I will fight," Phantom said confidently. Bowser and Phantom where led to a pit, "get ready!" Bowser warned.

"You can't win," Phantom said seriously. Phantom flew forward and shot some spells, Bowser blew black fire. Phantom blasted Bowser he fell to the ground; he got up Phantom charged a spell as Bowser slowly approached him. Bowser was two inches from Phantom when he blew up Bowser; Bowser lay on his back, "gah! How did you win, I'm all powerful," Bowser growled.

"The heroes always win, now you must help us!" Bowser stood up grumbling.

"So now we go to fight Kegora now right?" Luigi asked.

"My research tells me there is a monster that can change form in Twilight Town," Frankly explained. The group left to Twilight Town then to Creepy Steeple, "he should be in the room above," Frankly whispered. Peach, Phantom, Luigi, Frankly, Bowser, and Murlee jumped to the room, "hey what do you misfits want?" Doopliss asked annoyed.

"Hey there buddy!" Luigi greeted him friendly.

"No," Doopliss responded.

"I haven't even asked yet!" Luigi cried.

"Goddamn it, what do you want!"

"Please you request your special skills for a world saving task," Frankly said.

"Say what?"

"We need your help to save the world," Phantom said firmly.

"Sorry I don't do hero, good bye."

"If you haven't noticed, the out side world is being destroyed!" Peach yelled irritated.

"Can you go away?" Doopliss asked deathly.

"We will do anything," Murlee said softly.

"Well ok, bring back my daughter Dooplia!" everyone looked at Murlee, "stand back." She made two light rings appear on the floor they glowed, there was a bright flash. A young girl stood at the spot she was like Doopliss, but blue skinned she was wearing a red tie, blue curly hair, and deep blue eyes.

"Father?" she said confused.

"Your back!" Doopliss cried hugging the girl.

"What happen?" Dooplia asked.

"Friends," Doopliss turned to the group, "for this I will do anything," he said thankfully.

"Yes! Now can we go?" Bowser asked. Doopliss turned to Dooplia, "I need you to say here, I'll explain everything later," Doopliss kissed his daughter.

"Can I come?"

"Sorry but it too dangerous," Frankly said, the group left with a new member: Doopliss. Before they got to town a portal appeared, "hey losers!" Mario walked out, but it wasn't the Mario they knew he was different, his hair was black, his eyes were red, and his ears were long and pointed, "I think your little adventure stops here!"

"Mario what happen to you?" Luigi asked concerned.

"You really want to know? After you left my body Kegora found it he gave me a demon soul! I'm back to kill all of you!"

"What do we do?" Peach asked worried.

"I'll just kill him again!" Bowser said eagerly. Bowser and Mario charged at each other bashing each other, "give up," Mario said breathing deeply.

"Why don't you?" Bowser asked just as tired. Suddenly a blue form of Mario came down and hit Mario on the head knocking him out, "what are you doing here, Dooplia?" Doopliss asked.

"I saw you having trouble, and I thought I could help," Dooplia responded.

"Please go," Doopliss said.

"Aw come on dad, did you see me knock him out?" Dooplia asked proud.

"Actually we could use another shape-shifter," Frankly said.

"All right you can come," Doopliss caved.

"Woohoo!" Dooplia cheered. They all made it to the surface the world had changed, the homes were dark, there where dead trees the violet moon was the only light, shadows moved about like the people once did, "this is the darkness of Kegora?" Peach asked.

"Yes," Frankly responded sadly, "we need to hurry."

"My castle!" Peach cried when they reached the new Toad Town, it was now called Poison Shrooms.

"You mean my castle!" Mario laughed from the top, "Did you think you could win that easy? Now whose the runt the knocked me out?"

"I am!" Dooplia yelled at Mario then she changed into a blue Mario, "let's see if you can fight yourself!"

"You!" Mario laughed, "Your nothing!" Mario jumped down in front of Dooplia; Mario ran towards her with fireballs Dooplia jumped out of the way, Mario then blew a fire ball at Frankly, Dooplia, Doopliss, Peach, Phantom, Murlee, Bowser, and Luigi ran over to Frankly, "its over… save the world," Frankly whispered with his last breath.

"Ha ha ha!" Mario laughed.

"What's so funny?" Peach asked.

"Your all were easily distracted by one death of a soul, look around you!" they were surrounded, "we can't fight them," Phantom whispered.

"Take them to the dungeon!" Mario ordered. The shadow people took them into the castle's dungeon, they sat in the cell, silently thinking of what was next. Suddenly the castle started shaking then it lifted off the ground Mario came to a small window on the door, "we are going to see Kegora," Mario informed, "he will destroy all of you." Mario walked down the hall laughing. "Now is the time to escape," Phantom whispered, "an old jail cell can't hold us." Phantom charged up a spell and shot it at the door, it bounced off and hit Phantom.

"Stand back," Bowser growled he used his breath on the door, but nothing.

"Well if you two can't get it then we are doomed!" Luigi cried.

"I'll get us out of here," Doopliss said changing into a shadow them leaving the room.

"Is he coming back?" Peach asked.

"Why wouldn't he?" Dooplia asked.
