Chapter 8: Toad's Rescue

Alright, this time Toadette's gonna save Toad.

"Did someone just call my name?" Toad heard me.

"Yeah, it was me." I said.

"Well, I read your previous chapters and your intro was a bit...um, boring." Toad said. "Anyway, it's Christmas Day! You been enjoying it?" Toad asked me.

"Yup. Anyways please do follow/favorite and leave a review. Hope you enjoy!"

Toadette found herself in a large area with bare trees in the background, a dark black sky, purple smoke that looked poisonous, lots of Goombas and even Piranha Plants.

"Oh dear...I better be careful." Toadette said.

Toadette crawled across the floor and kept her balance in order to avoid falling into poison. There were a few Goombas that tried to stop her but she would just jump onto them just in case she would wake up any Piranha Plants. Toadette walked over the area but couldn't find the boss anywhere.

"I don't get it! Where am I supposed to go?" Toadette said.

"Psst! Over here!" said a strange Bob-omb Buddy.

Toadette looked to her right and to her surprise she found a Bob-omb Buddy.

"What are you doing here? Haven't I seen you back in Bob-omb Battlefield?" Toadette said to the Bob-omb Buddy.

"No time for explanation! Listen! There is a vine over there that you must climb up right now! Once you get up there, there is a bridge you must cross. At the end of the bridge is a hole that will take you to Goomboss, King of the Goombas, and he has Toad's key." Bob-omb Buddy said.

"How do you know all this? Have you been reading the map?" Toadette asked the Bob-omb Buddy.

"Let's just say...we Bob-ombs can see EVERYTHING! So please, do not mess with us! Understand me?!" said the Bob-omb Buddy, now angry.

"I'm gonna back away now...don't want to lit your fuse." Toadette backed away from the Bob-omb Buddy and climbed up the vine to reach the bridge the Bob-omb Buddy was talking about. That's where she spotted the hole and jumped in. "Yippee!" Toadette landed in some kind of circular rotunda shaped arena with a pool of toxic gas in the center.

"Intruders are not welcome here." said Goomboss, off-screen.

Toadette looked up to see an oversized Goomba with a king's attire and eyes that may seem hypnotic.

"Hey, buddy, can you close your eyes, eyes, eyes?" Toadette giggled. "But seriously, what kind of Goomba are you supposed to be anyway?"

"Bwa ha ha! I'm no ordinary Goomba, I am Goomboss, the grand pooh-bah Toad always stepped on. The tables have turned! I locked him up in a room." Goomboss said.

"Toad never locked you up in a room after stepping on you!" Toadette said.

"I bet that brat is throwing a tantrum right now. I have no business with you, so scram!" Goomboss said.

"No way, not until you give me that key!" Toadette told Goomboss.

"Never, it's mine! Bwa ha ha!" Goomboss laughed.

"Then take this!" Toadette threw one of the mushrooms at Goomboss. Knocking him out of balance, Toadette then kicked him into the poison gas. And boy, Goomboss was coughing.

"Okay, take the key!" Goomboss coughed. Goomboss tossed the key to Toadette as he suffocated to death and Toadette teleports back to the room with the doors. She then used the key to unlock Toad's door.

"Yay! I'm free, thanks to you, Toadette!" Toad hugged Toadette, which made her blush.

"No problemo, mushroom bro. I owed ya for letting me race with you on the Mario Kart games." Toadette said.

"Boy, I hate to interrupt this bro and sis moment, but could you let me outta here?!" Blue Toad said still in the locked door.

"Be patient, Blue! We haven't found your key yet!" Toad said to Blue Toad in the locked door. "Let's go, Toadette! We got stars and keys to find." Toad said to Toadette.

"Right!" Toadette said.

"Good luck, Toads!" Yellow Toad said, still trapped in the locked door.
