Man, I lied! I did not mean to do that, i should of updated sooner! Well here's chapter 1.

Chapter 1

Evil Uprising

"Hey-a-Mario! Look what we got from the castle!" the green plumber called from his kitchen.

Mario rushed down the stairs to see what the all the news was about. Luigi handed Mario a pink letter with a stamp of a royal symbol stamped on the face of the envelope. Mario opened the letter and it read:

"Dear Mario,

I request that you and Luigi come to the castle. This is an emergency situation. Peach needs to speak with you, your brother, me and some other guardians in private.

Sincerely,

Toadsworth.

"It looks like we need to head to the castle for some "Emergency situation" meeting." Mario informed Luigi.

"Let me guess, Toadsworth sent the letter" Luigi guessed.

"How did you know?" Mario replied.

"Lucky guess?" Luigi said.

As the plumbers left their home, Mario grabbed a couple of fire flowers, just in case.

Later at the castle...

"ah, masters Mario and Luigi right on time." The toad dressed in brown greeted them.

"So, what is the situation?" Mario asked.

"I'm not quite sure, but I know it's important. Not like my other ramblings and overprotective worries about princess peach. Please, come and join me and the others on the top floor of the castle." Toadsworth. Insisted.

As the plumbers and the worry some toad climbed up to the top of the castle, mario met some old friends from his past adventures.

"Gombella! Bombetta! It's been forever! How have you been!" Mario greeted the pink bomb-omb and the goomba with the archaeologist.

"Yoshi!" said a voice from the corner as a green dinosaur stepped out from the shadows. Apparently, something grave has happened. Why else would Peach summon all star-bearers?

Later...

"Welcome all. I am glad you all came. Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Gombella, Bombetta, and Todi, I am all glad to see you." Peach greeted.

"Whose Todi?" Bombetta asked.

"I'm Todi. I am the chieftain of the northern nomadic toad tribe." Todi said.

"Anyway, I just got word that Bowser has been raiding the mushroom kingdom." Peach said.

"Again? Than why did you call us over? Usually the simplest of recruits beat him. What's the difference this time?" Mario asked.

Peach started to talk but Todi interrupted her.

"Because he is strangely more powerful than he usually is. Him and this dark wizard attack my village, destroyed, and killed most of my people. I escaped with the star that peach gave me. But just barely . Bowser and this... wizard are powerful, not even a slash of my Zanbato could even hurt him. He has a name in which the heavens curse and it strikes fear into anybody who hears it his name is...is..."

Just then, a crashing from the bottom floor could be heard from throughout the castle.

As Peach, Todi, Mario, Luigi, Gombella, And Bombetta rushed down the stairs to see what happened, they found bodies of castle guards laying everywhere. Nobody in the mushroom kingdom would be able to do this. What had happened?

"You tell me where the stars are!" Bowser screamed has he was holding a castle guard up in the air.

"I'll never tell, you horrible monster!" screamed the frightened toad.

"then suffer!" Bowser said as he threw the toad across the room, destroying the whole entire castle security.

"Stop you fiend!" Gombella said to bowser.

Gombella shot of the stair case as if she were a bullet bill, and slammed bowser with a head bonk. Bowser flinched in pain. But he quickly recovered and he grabbed Gombella and slashed her, and threw her onto the ground. She fell unconscious. At that moment, a star emerged from her body, and Bowser grabbed it.

"You should have left her alone you big oaf!" Bombetta screamed. She lit herself and quickly ran towards bowser. With the star power, and enough concentrated energy, she could kill bowser in an instant with only one explosion. But right when she was about to explode, a voice said, "Nice try! AUGHAHHHHH!" and Bombetta went flying and she hit a wall and exploded. And another star appeared over Bombetta and was quickly claimed.

"Thanks Gannondorf!" Bowser said to the magician.

"That's just my shadow punch, it was nothing special." Gannondorf bragged.

"Peach! Run up to the balcony and call Lakilastar, He'll get you to safety." Mario commanded.

Peach quickly ran up the stairs, but bowser commanded some lakitus to capture her, and unfortunately they did, and they brought back a star.

"That's it! You destroyed my village, killed my people, and now, you two will pay!" Todi screamed as he readied his Zanbato.

"We're behind you on this to." Mario said to Todi.

Todi rushed at Bowser and said "dragon's head!" and his Zanbato blade glowed with a blue aura. He slashed bowser with his weapon three times in the stomach and twice on the neck, forcing him to fall unconscious from blood loss.

"Good, one down, one to go" Todi said exhausted.

Mario, Todi, Yoshi, and Luigi surrounded Gannondorf.

"So you think you can beat me that easily eh? Well let's see how far your confidence leads you." Gannon said.

Mario and Luigi ran towards him and threw a barrage of punches. Gannondorf evaded each one and he kicked Luigi across the room, delivering a strong damage count on Luigi. Gannondorf quickly gathered Luigi's star and he became even more powerful.

Gannondorf then grabbed Mario and casted an electric spell which shocked Mario into blacking out. But Mario quickly got up, and he activated his fire flower.

"Take this!" Mario yelled as he blasted Gannondorf with a fire ball.

"That's the pride power of the mushroom kingdom! Ha! That couldn't even roast a marshmallow!" Gannondorf taunted.

Gannondorf then kicked Mario across the room, and Mario faded out. Gannondorf quickly gained Mario's star, then he blasted Yoshi with a dark, ball of energy. Yoshi got to his feet, and he pulled out an ice melon. He blasted Gannondorf with a stream of ice. It froze Gannondorf solid. Yoshi punched the frozen wizard into a million pieces. But when he did, a purplish ray of light knocked back Yoshi, and Todi, almost killing them. Bowser then regained consciousness. Dazed and confused, he looked up at Gannondorf.

"We won?" Bowser asked.

"Yes. We have all the stars to make the Ztar, the only thing that is missing is recruits that we can use." Gannondorf proudly declared.

"Ok, so run me by our first plan again." Bowser said.

"When we get recruits, the Ztar will make them evil, so they can work for us. In fact, we have six people we can recruit right here. Pick them up, and bring them back to the base." Gannondorf said before dissapearing.

Bowser collected the helpless toad, bomb-omb, and goomba. He even snatched Luigi. But before he gathered Mario and Yoshi, a figure appeared. In front of Bowser.

The figure was male, with blonde hair that fell down to his earlobe, he wore jeans, and a sleeveless blue shirt, and a tattoo of a flame on his arm.

"You shall leave these two beings alone!" The figure said. He then unlished a stream of fire, causing Bowser to retreat.

The figure gathered Mario and Yoshi, and vanished in a flash.

End of Chapter

Wow that was a lot. Four pages, man I am tired. I will try to be more quick about writing my chapters. It might be awhile before you see an update. School is starting and I'm going into Jr. High. R&R!

P.S.: if you review, try to bring up ideas, and can anybody guess who the mysterious figure is?
