Chapter Nine: Two Collected, One to Go

"We have two of the three Ancient Gems, King Wart," Baron Guy said to the King of Sub-con.

"Very good. I bet that fool Bowser doesn't even have any!" Wart laughed.

"Our spies have discovered that the Mario Brothers are looking for them," Baron Guy said.

"Pbth. Don't bother with them. They are fools," Wart said.

"What makes you so sure?"

"When we first met..."

"I am the great Wart! Ah ha ha ha!" Wart laughed.

"It's-a me, Mario!" Mario said.

"Okay, who cares? You copying me?" Wart asked.

"It's-a me, Mario!" Mario said again.

"And who is this creepy green guy?" Wart asked.

"It's-a me, Luigi!" Luigi said.

"And I am Princess Peach" Peach said.

"I'm Toad! Hi!" Toad said.

"Is there a reason these guys are idiots?" Wart asked.

"I WANT MILK!" Mario yelled.

"I want a milk!" Luigi yelled.

"Milk!" the two said. "WE WANT MILK!" they yelled.

"... It's a mental problem they have," Peach said.

"Ha. They are idiots," Wart said.

"They've improved..." Baron Guy said.

"I doubt they have improved much," said Wart.

"They have! They are now, um... intelligent!" Baron Guy said.

"IMPOSSIBLE!" Wart said, jumping from his throne.

"It's true," Baron Guy said.

"Well, send some Shy Guys to get that Emerald!" Wart yelled.

"Yes, sir," Baron Guy said.
