Yup! You guessed it correctly! The Lion King is one of the best disney movies of all time! And I just couldn't help referencing it after seeing the remake. Speaking of the remake, it's not as bad as people say it is. Sure the realistic artstyle prevents the characters from physically expressing themselves, some of the new voice actors don't fit as well as the old ones, and 'Be Prepared' sounded more like a speech with singing than an actual song. But it was pretty faithful to the original and even had its own funny moments. Though I will admit, the Aladdin remake is better. I even said in the last chapter that the three princesses were SCARred. Get it? Of course you do! Thank you for the review!


Delfino Airstrip

A simple airstrip built on small islets in the waters near Delfino Plaza. Access to the mainland is via small boats.

The plane makes it's decent towards the Delfino Airstrip. Luigi and Peach were still worried while everyone else was still hypnotized. That was when the plane made an abrupt halt and made everyone fall out of their seats. Apparently, the engineers of this plane forgot to install seatbelts.

All: AAAAHHH!

After the fall. Peach got up feeling a little dizzy.

Peach: Unnh… W-what happened…?

Mario then broke out of his trance and angrily walked into the pilot's cockpit.

Mario: Hey! What's the big idea?! I was having a fantasy until you stopped the plane like that!

Pilot: I'm sorry Mario! It's not my fault! There's just something… weird in the way. I don't know how to explain it. Go… see for yourself.

Mario and the others walk out as the two bros roll up their sleeves a little, wanting to feel the sun on their skin, and they're all surprised and disgusted. There was this strange looking paint like substance appearing to be a mixture of orange, yellow, pink, and white. It somehow caused the runaway to sink down to a bowl like structure. What was even more creepy was that the 'painting' resembled Mario's head and the part representing his nose looked like it was growing.

Daisy: What in the world is that stuff?!

Luigi: I think I'm gonna be sick!

Aqua: Eww! What is that yucky stuff?

Mario: I don't know. It looks like a giant pool of paint. you should stay away from it! It looks toxic! (That's no ordinary paint.)

Toad: What's this icky paint-like goop?

Toadette: It's moving!

Toadsworth: Now now kids! Don't touch that stuff!

While everyone was talking about this strange substance. Peach looked around and noticed four familiar figures standing on a water tank. They appeared to be the same ones she saw in the video. She stared at them suspiciously and they stared back. Peach could've sworn she saw them evilly smiling at her, filling the princess with dread and fear that they could be after her. She looks back at Luigi. He looked concerned for the princess.

Luigi: You saw them again didn't you?

Peach: I-I did.

Luigi looked back and they were gone. But fears they may be more than just hallucinations.

Luigi: It's ok. Mario and I will figure this out like we always do. It'll be ok.

Peach: Alright…

Mario: Looks like Mario's gonna have to find a job.

Toadsworth: Trying to start a new career?

Toadsworth noticed Peach's worried behavior and turned to Mario.

Toadsworth: I'm most concerned with the well being of the princess in this dreadful heat. Master Mario, if you would, cross over to that shore and find some assistance.

Mario: Leave it to me!

Peach looked back at Mario worriedly…

Peach: Mario, be careful! I have a bad feeling about this…

Mario: Don't worry Peach! Everything will be okay. Once we figure this out, we'll have a nice relaxing vacation!

Peach felt a little bit better with the reassuring words from her hero. But still had an uneasy feeling deep inside. Mario went ahead. But as he walked, he noticed some of the isles locals seemed to be staring at him suspiciously. It creeped him out so much that he slipped on the goop.

Mario: Woah! Woah!

He slides down to the bottom and finds himself covered.

Mario: Eww…

Mario did this new spin jump move he learned from a few Toads to jump out, and surprisingly, it actually cleaned him up.

Mario: Huh… this new move is more useful than I thought!

Mario kept walking past the goop to get to the back shore where he was greeted by one of the residents called a Pianta playing a ukulele.

Pianta: Welcome to Isle Delfino! Step right up and get yourself a free tourist map!

Mario: Thanks, but I already got one from my friend.

Pianta: Oh okay. To view the map, just press the Z button!

Mario: Z-wha?!

Pianta: No need to worry. The great being who watches over all of us will understand.

Mario looks at the screen creeped out.

Mario: Oh great. This again. *shivers*

After walking away, he noticed a WANTED poster on the wall. It seemed to portray a sketch of someone who looked like him along with three smaller sketches of a few other familiar faces. They all appeared in the left hand corner holding giant paint brushes..

Mario: What the-?

?: Hey, you!

Mario turned to see a brown Pianta looking skeptically at the plumber.

Pianta: Have we met somewhere before?

Mario: Uh… no?

The Pianta got even more suspicious.

Pianta: I feel like I've seen you somewhere… and recently too…

Mario: I-I just got here.

Pianta: Sure you did…

Mario backed away slowly before continuing to find help. He walked to a yellow Pianta that was continually jumping up and down having a tremendous fit.

Mario: Excuse me sir, could you help me and my friends with the-

Pianta: HELP?! HELP YOU?! WE'RE THE ONES WHO NEED HELP!

Mario shrank back in surprise and fear and the Pianta's sudden outburst.

Pianta: TAKE THAT WATER PUMP AND CLEAN THE AIRSTRIP, YOU… YOU!

Mario dashed away from the fuming Pianta.

Mario: Just what has gotten INTO these people?!

Mario soon found the water pump that angry Pianta was talking about. It was a yellow pump with a water tank, two triggers to pull, a belt to wrap around the user, and the head that sprays water. Before he could pick it up though, he flinched when the water pump started MOVING. The pump faced Mario and spoke to him through its head, revealing it's also a robot.

?: Power up complete. Thank you for purchasing this item from Gadd Science Inc.

Mario: (Gadd? Where have I heard that before? I didn't purchase anything.)

?: Preparing to register customer information. Scanning user information…

The robotic pump began to scan Mario's brain through its sensors and identified everything from his name, to his memories of past adventures.

?: …subject identified as Mario Aristide Mario, resident of the Mushroom Kingdom. Data storage complete.

Mario: (Did this thing just read my mind?)

?: I am F.L.U.D.D—a Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device.

Mario: Oh, uh… nice to meet you.

FLUDD: I hope to be of assistance!

Mario: Well, maybe you could help me clean up that weird paint, er… goop on the Airstrip.

Mario picked up FLUDD and strapped him onto his back. He somehow felt like a whole new hero with this thing on his back.

FLUDD: Proceeding with user instruction.

FLUDD gave Mario a quick tutorial about how to use it. Once it was done, Mario practiced by washing up these "M" symbols on the water tanks. They had two "eyes" at the tip to make it look like a face. Just looking at those reminded him of the WANTED poster.

Mario walked back to the goop and noticed a tiny palm tree in the goop. He curiously sprayed it and out came a blue PIANTA! This stuff apparently can bury people under it. Gross! Mario sprayed all the goop off of him and he jumped for joy.

Pianta: Brrrrthp! Bleeah! Whoa! I really thought I was a goner!

The Pianta was relieved and gave Mario a grateful smile. However, once he got a good look at the plumber, his smile faded into a look of heinous rage as he pointed a look of heinous rage as he pointed a large finger at him.

Pianta: Hey… Hang on! It's you! This whole mess is your fault!

Mario was both shocked and confused at this absurd accusation.

Mario: WHAT!? What are you talking about?!

Pianta: Oh don't give me that! You know what you did! You and your three henchmen have been covering our island in this ugly paint! You monsters ruined our beautiful home!

Mario: How could I have done this?! I JUST GOT HERE!

Pianta: Yeah right! That WANTED poster back there says otherwise!

Mario: That can't be me! You must be mistaken!

Pianta: Liar liar plants for hire!

Mario: It's 'pants on fire'.

Pianta: Well you would know, liar.

The Pianta crosses his shoulders and looked away.

Mario: Well, you're welcome for me saving you, JERK!

Mario began to mutter in Italian under his breath angrily as he walked back to Luigi.

Luigi: Hey bro! Did you find some help?

Mario: Well, I did. But I'm a bit too uneasy about this. The people here were giving me nasty looks and were yelling at me. I even saw a WANTED poster showing these sketches that looked kind of like us!

Luigi: Wait what?!

Mario: I know! It doesn't look EXACTLY like us. But it's still quite a resemblance.

Luigi: (Could that be what Peach saw?)

Luigi looked over Mario's shoulder to see FLUDD on Mario on his back.

Luigi: What's that?

FLUDD: I am FLUDD. The Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device. And you are Mario's younger brother, and resident of the Mushroom Kingdom, Luigi.

Luigi jumped back at the thing that talked and apparently knew his name. Since it read Mario's mind. It knew everything he knew.

Luigi: Mario, w-where did you get that?!

Mario: I found it on the other shoreline. This should come in handy. Alright FLUDD. Let's see what you can do!

Mario pulled the trigger and started spraying water all over the goop to clear it all away. He then tried spraying the large blob in the middle, but all it did when being sprayed was shaking rapidly.

Mario: Huh? Why isn't this thing washing away?

FLUDD: That is a goop generator. Just keep spraying it.

Mario continued spraying the generator even though it didn't seem to be helping. That was when he started to hear creepy sounds.

Luigi: What was that?! Bro, I'm pretty sure we ate on the plane.

Mario: That wasn't my stomach Luigi…

Then the blob swelled rapidly and burst open with a huge piranha plant covered in goop bursting out, releasing a hideous roar as it broke out. Everyone was completely shocked. The Piantas ran for their lives, Toad and Toadette dashed away from it, Toadsworth fainted, Luigi's cheeks turned as green as his clothes and ran towards the beach to barf, Aqua screamed and clutched onto Daisy for protection, Daisy was repulsed, and Peach gasped.

Mario: Mamma Mia!

FLUDD quickly scanned the savage beast to figure out it's name and weakness.

FLUDD: Mario, that is a Proto Piranha. You must spray water in it's mouth whenever it opens to defeat it.

Mario listened and waited for the Proto Piranha to open its mouth. When it did, Mario sprayed water into its mouth, making it shriek and wriggle. He did this two more times. After the last hit, it buried back into the ground still shrieking and faded away. The runaway then turned back to normal thanks to the clearing of the goop, and a strange shining object that somewhat resembled a Power Star appeared in front of the plumber. Everybody was amazed at the sight of it. Luigi just came back from throwing up.

Luigi: Woah! What is that? It's so shiny!

Mario: I… don't know.

Toad and Toadette: Oooh! A shiny shiny came out of the yucky yucky!

Toadsworth: That bright object…it's not a star. What could it be?

Peach: It's so bright…I wonder what that thing is?

Daisy: Just looking at that thing hurts my eyes like the sun.

Aqua: What is that glowy brighty thingy?

Pianta: Ah! A Shine Sprite!

Mario: A what?

FLUDD scanned the strange sun shaped object with eyes.

FLUDD: Mario, that is a Shine Sprite. Take it!

Mario grabbed the object referred to as a "Shine Sprite" and felt satisfaction.

SHINE!

Mario: YEH-HEE!

Mario put the Shine Sprite in his pocket. His friends came up to him.

Peach: Nice work Mario!

Aqua: You were amazing!

Toadsworth: Hmm… Quite an unusual device. Is it some sort of pump?

FLUDD: I am FLUDD. Glad to meet you!

Luigi: Hey Mario, we've got company.

Mario looked in Luigi's direction. Two Piantas in Police Clothing were stomping towards them like angry bulls.

Mario: Oh, hello officers! Can I help you?

Without saying any words one of the policeman put Mario's arms in cuffs.

Mario: Huh? What the-?!

Luigi was getting cuffed too.

Luigi: What are you doing?

Daisy and Aqua received cuffs as well. The latter was a little kid, so the cuffs were too big. But it was all they had.

Daisy: Are you arresting me?! Royalty?!

Aqua: What's going on?! Someone help!

The Policemen finally spoke.

Police Officer #1: You four are under arrest for the act of vandalism! You're all coming with us to the courthouse!

Police Officer #2: You have the rights to remain silent!

Mario: But we didn't do anything!

Police Officer #2: I SAID SILENT!

He shocked Mario with a taser, discouraging the other three from saying a word.

As the police took them in to the boat, Aqua started to cry, wondering why this was happening. Peach stood there even more worried.

Peach: (But they're innocent…)


Looks like trouble is coming. What could happen to our heroes? Tune in next time!

Edit: Mario's full name made up by my friend, Nintendoscript15.
