Oh my god, a not totally rediculously long new chapter time for me, I must be dying XDD.

I tried to make this chapter very funny, I hope you found it that way. I also introduced some characters in some not boring ways! ^^

Chapter 7: Friends, Women, and Pain

Daisy was clinging to a nearby tree along the Lake Hylia shore, (No, there aren't trees in this area, but seriously, if Lake Hylia was as big as it should be realistically, I'm pretty sure there'd be a few) looking down at the fall between her and the ground.

She let out a sigh, as much as she hated being in any form of distress, she had to acknowledge she needed help.

"Luigi, could you help get me down?" She asked, in a normal voice, trying to act casual.

Luigi was slumped over against a rock, however, hearing Daisy's voice caused him to climb to his feet. "ugh what was that, Daisy?"

"I said, can you help be down from here dumbass!" She said, in her patented annoyed yelling voice… seriously, it is patented. One time she used it on her father and stated that it should be patented, well, her father took it literally in hopes he'd never hear it again.

Whether that worked or not, was never proven.

However, back to Luigi, he staggered around for a bit. Regaining what bits of him were intact, and making sure he only had a few concussions and some compound fractures. Climbing atop a rock, he leaped up into the air, grabbing onto the tree, and extending one arm for Daisy. "Climb on, Princess" he said, trying to act suave.

It didn't work, but Daisy couldn't help but adore the cuteness of the younger plumber. She climbed onto his back, and held on. "Alright Casanova, get me down from here."

With that, Luigi dropped from the tree, and landed without any problems. He looked about as he let Daisy down to survey the wreckage of Bowser's mighty wave.

Only the lower beaches where several people were swimming got hit. Those up on the cliffs where the tents and food was were fine. Many of the tables on the lower beaches were toppled… as were those that were occupying them.

Peach however, as she was swept through the fast waters grabbed hold of Sushi, and was able to ride out the massive wave.

Mario was on a small island, connected by two wooden bridges on each side, with his head wedged in the sand and legs flailing in the air. He tried desperately to force himself out of the sand, but it would take a bit of time.

However, added inspiration was given when a colorful bird landed on his upside-down backside and began pecking.

Mario swayed back and forth, kicking wildly, until he finally forced himself out of the sand and landed on his ass. As he looked around, he reached for his hat on the ground and remounted it upon his head.

With that, he shook his head and smiled, it could've been worse.

Then that damn bird started picking at his head.

So, after a few moments of tolerating it, did the sensible thing.

He grabbed it, held it by its stomach, and threw it like a paper airplane.

Mario watched as the bird took flight… and also watched as the bird caught fire due to the great speed he'd thrown the bird. Apparently Mario underestimated his own strength… Oh well, Mario slowly paced his way back over the wooden bridge back to where he was before he was submerged in water, then sand.

In the distance however, a much less relaxing plan was going underway.

"Wario," Waluigi said, looking over at his friend and long time ally, "Me thinks that the game tent is empty… perhaps we could liberate some of the goods, and head to the nearest pawns shop…"

"Waluigi, you need to know when to appreciate a good time, haha!" Wario said, lying back on a pool chair Wario had stole, then brought here. It was your average white chair, with an adjustable back, that was usually seen around pools. "Just relax, and worry about smiting peasants later."

While Wario knew when to quit, Waluigi wasn't such an easy going customer, he slowly climbed up, and made his way towards the tent.

Once inside, he went towards the items of most value, examining which items he could snag with him and run.

Just as he was about to snag a pricey videogame console, a voice echoed out behind him.

"Those things are not yours."

Waluigi turned to see a man, not one he'd seen arrive before, standing at the entrance to the tent. The man wore white robes, with bright lavender trimming. His skin was a shade of white, but had a certain tan to it. He wore a straw cap over his head, so that all Waluigi could see was a strong jawline.

"ehhh, and what are you going to do about it tough guy!" Waluigi said, turning around, and trying to intimidate the man by staring down at him.

Waluigi's height didn't impress the man… he didn't even move. "You shouldn't take what doesn't belong to you."

"You think you can do something about it boy-scout! Go back to your mother, I can smell the fear on you." Waluigi said, sneering as he taunted the man.

"I fear …no man." Was all the white clad man said to Waluigi.

"Oh yeah, well why don't you show me wh…"

In a split second, Waluigi noticed a bang of his hair fall to the ground, sliced so that three pieces fell to the ground, and all the Waluigi could hear was the sheathing of a sword.

Waluigi was so paralyzed with fear, he could barely breathe.

"Leave, now."

With that, Waluigi scrambled out of the tent as fast as he could, intent to keep to himself the rest of the day.

As Waluigi ran for his life, Mario slowly paced into the tent, looking for either a mushroom, or a beer to help get rid of his 'my head was just forced into the ground' headache, when he saw his old acquaintance. "Jack! It'sa great to see you-a made it!"

The samurai removed his straw hat, and smiled as he shook the bold plumber's hand. "Likewise friend, how have you been all this time?"

"You know, keeping the plumbing of-a the Mushroom Kingdom running, adventuring when I am a-needed, you know how it works. I'd rather work and long-a day than work an underhanded, repetitive, and boring one."

"I agree completely, my good friend. As for me, I have been leading the fight against the remainder of Aku's forces in my own time. Aku may have been stopped, but I will not rest until I am sure my people are safe."

Mario and Samurai Jack had met many moons ago, whilst Jack was searching for a way home, he found a warp vortex in the pit of hate, which was Aku's Domain. After a long and arduous battle, Jack was cast into the vortex, but was whorled through dimensions. He luckily arrived back in his home, just at the time Jack wished. After slaying Aku, his sword was no longer needed, and dissolved into ashes after Aku had passed on. And with the beginning of the war against the minions of Aku, Jack needed a new blade.

The sages that forged the sword of Jack's world were long since dead, but through long sequences of meditation new sages had visioned a world with objects of incredible purity, the Power Stars of Mario's world.

It was taxing, but after a great many days, a portal was readied for Jack. Wandering through the world, he was quick to meet Mario, and the two became fast friends.

Mario aided in Jack's forging a new blade, and Jack improved Mario's sword and hammer skills.

"Then please, let me get you a drink, I know-a you normally don't partake, but it's a party! Also, you'd better-a do it now, before Captain Falcon arrives."

"The loud obnoxious one with the fiery fist that was at your day-of-birth celebration?" Jack asked, looking at Mario.

Mario could only nod, and place two fingers upon the bridge of his nose, that was one birthday party he did not want to remember. What was the saddest part, he didn't embarrass himself, which was usually the case when someone didn't want to remember such events.

"I see… well then, maybe I shall… still, why did you invite that man?"

"He is-a on the list of many competitors in a friendly combat get-a together we host, I felt it would be very rude of me not to." Mario said with a sigh.

"Ah, very kind of you, considering what he did to your cake… and your floor… and your house." Jack said, stifling a chuckle.

Mario could only smile as well, "Yes, Captain Falcon has a tendency to bring-a out the… that in people."

The two started to laugh, and walk their way to the nearest container of alcoholic refreshments, while far in the distance, atop the cliff, Collins and Talo continued their battle.

Talo panted, his sword slung over his shoulder, everything above his waist having been torn, taken, or sliced off. Even the band that kept his samurai tail had been severed, so his long brown hair blew around behind him.

Collins was still in his shirt, but that's all that remained above his torso. His headband had been sliced and fallen off, his jacket was being mauled, so he slid it off. Collins sword was impaled in the ground, but he quickly pulled it out, and charged towards Talo.

As Collins got close, Talo slammed his sword into the ground, which caused the ground under the sword to be crushed as well. Collins had dipped to the side, and struck Talo's forehead with the pommel of his sword, then kicked him in the chest.

Talo quickly recovered from the strikes, and ran towards Collins, intend to beat him until he begged for mercy.

In the distance, Beth let out a sigh as he watched those two go at it. "Malo, how long has it been?"

"I don't know… anywhere between half an hour to an hour. Those two just don't stop do they?" Malo said, admiring some of the wildflowers around the portion of the cliffs they were at, making a mental note to plant some in the front of his palazzo in Castle Town.

Beth shook her head as she watched, but she heard footsteps approach then stop behind her. She was eager to think it was some guy taking a nice long look, so she slowly turned, ready to slap some unfortunate perv.

However, she saw a woman wearing white robes with orange secondary coloring, and a pair of orange pants, with white designs on them, suited to a priestess. A hood covered her black hair, and piercing blue-ish green eyes. She wore sandals on her feet, with some high reaching white socks that traveled up into the pants. At her side she carried a fairly tall staff, one painted and decorated in a beige-ish gold color, and the other a blue-ish purple, symbolizing light and darkness.

"Luda!" Beth said, smiling, glad someone actually sane decided to come to the party.

"Hello Beth." Luda said, turning, so Beth could see her soft, gentle, and warm features. With a heartwarming smile, Luda slowly bowed her head. "How are you?"

"I'm doing fine, but I'm worried sick ABOUT THOSE IDIOTS UP THERE!" Beth started to say to Luda, but started to shout up at Collins and Talo, but she knew neither of them would hear.

"Are those two fighting again?" Luda said, sounding a bit saddened by hearing that. She never did like fighting, and those two fighting was even worse.

"Yeah, those idiots never listen to reason, if I was in the right mind I'd… Luda, follow me." Beth said, smiling a polite and cheerful smile… which usually means someone was about to be instilled with the fear of god.

In the distance, three teenagers walked towards the shoreline, sitting in a few chairs they dragged along. One was slightly shorter than the other, with slicked back hair and a confident disposition. He happened to be wearing jeans, some sneakers, and a black shirt, with red scrawled type on his shirt that says "Laser Cannon Deth Sentence".

The next was a giant, with a buzzed haircut, and a slight unibrow. He is sporting a deep green Jacket, some jeans, some tennis shoes, and a t-shirt that had the picture of a deep green fearsome creatures, wielding two tridents with purple tips that radiated lightning, upon a blue background.

The last wore what was almost a cross between a windsock cap and a bandana on his head, over some shaggy cut black hair that went to his neck. He appeared a bit shy, but kindhearted as well; a deep red shirt with "Dethklok" written upon the front covered his torso, while he also wore shorts, and some tennis shoes.

The three lounged out in front of the lake, with a grand machine that magically seemed to dispense cans of soda, while looking to be made of your average everyday scrap.

"Ahh… this is the life." The shorter one began, "ain't that right, Double-D?"

"I couldn't agree with you more, Eddy." Double-D stated, lounging back and sipping on a soda, it was a nice hot day, and no doubt the three of them would be in the water later. "What do you think, Ed?"

"Yup, it's like when Bartrov reached the gas-oasis in Tales of the Lonely Dump Truck." The large one, named Ed stated, smiling cheerfully showing his inner innocence.

The three relaxed as they sat upon the shores of Lake Hylia.

Atop the cliffs, Talo and Collins were at an impass as they tried to overpower each other. Their blades had met, and they were now pushing with all their might trying to triumph over the other.

"Accept… Defeat!" Collins said, wielding his longsword with both hands, holding his own against Talo.

"I believe this is what they call bullying!" Talo said, wielding his mighty claymore with one hand, his other arm behind him.

However, Beth, Malo, and Luda slowly approached the two, sneaking up to the two fighters, as their blades sparked when they moved.

Luda took stance behind Talo, and Beth stood next to Collins, and Malo stood and watched.

Beth signaled to Luda, who withdrew her staff, and then Beth began to slowly pull back fingers.

Three…

Two…

One…

WHAM!

With that, Beth threw a powerful right hook right into Collins jaw, more specifically on his right side, so he was sent a few feet away, then to the ground on his left.

However, to ensure no one got hurt, they had to strike them both. At the same time as Beth's punch, Luda spun her staff, and smashed Talo in the back of the head, however, slightly to his right, so Talo fell to his left, opposite of Collins.

Both of them let out yells of pain, as they fell to the ground. Collins placing his hand over his sore jaw, and Talo on his knees, forehead on the ground, with both hands on the back of his head.

Luda felt bad, as she looked at the two of them, and wished she could help…

But Beth grabbed her by the hand and started dragging her off. "Don't get all soft on them, or they'll just keep doing it."

Malo was currently dying of laughter, staggering and limping around like a drunk, following behind Luda only after using his pictobox to snag a prime photo of their pain.

"guhhh… Talo… you need to learn to punch from Beth… she punches better than you do."

"nnnnh Collins… learn to use a blunt weapon like your woman… damn she can use that staff."

At least the fighting was over for now, for those two.

Mario, Luigi, Jack, and Samus were all enjoying some beers down by the shore. Mario and his brother still in thier swimming attire, and about to get back in the water; Samus in some casual wear, a t-shirt that fit snug on her, but not too snug. She also had some shorts on that went just below her knees. Jack had folded up his robe, and had every intention of going into the water as soon as he finished his beer.

Mario and Jack each had one beer, neither of them drank much at all. Luigi was on his second, but saving the rest for later, Samus was on her fifth, she wasn't even drunk, she could hold her liquor damn well by any standard.

Jack however caused the most shock and awe; not being of the mushroom kingdom, or any other land where canned goods were available, he didn't understand the simple 'pull the tab' concept. Instead, he saw the rim of the can, and got creative.

With a single swift slash of the sword, he lopped the lip clean off, and set it aside, surprising almost everyone around him. Then, he began to drink from the severed can, after his first sip however, he pressed against the rim, not enough to cut himself though. "This is most dangerous" he stated, as he went back for a second series of gulps.

Luigi set his beer down in the sand next to his towel, not wanting to have to go risking putting it in some cooler. Most people were courteous (or sanitary) and wouldn't do something like that. But if Captain Falcon were to arrive… the beer would vanish.

Mario, seeing his brother's plight, focused some magical power into his hand, and snapped his finger. As he did that, a ball of elemental ice shot out into the air, arched, and landed right on his brother's beer, freezing it.

The Brothers and Jack then stood up, and looked out into the lake.

"Do any of-a you's want to see how can-a jump the farthest?" Luigi asked, looking at the others.

"Yeah, let'sa do it!" Mario said, pumping his fist into the air.

"A great idea, however, I will warn you, I know how to jump-good!" Jack said, grinning.

The three of them started to pace their way back, stepping away from Samus, as so they wouldn't bother her, and risk a vicious ass kicking.

They asked Samus to count to three for them, and she was happy to, she was really a kind person as long as you didn't piss her off.

As she signaled for them to run, the three began their charge to the shore.

Jack ran straight, very fast, ready to pounce out into the water.

Mario and Luigi prepared by doing their classic three jump technique, which they could use in conjunction with a long jump at the end for maximum distance. Mario thought about using his magic to cheat, but decided against it.

Soon enough, the three soared out over the lake, and landed in the water.

Once they'd submerged, the results were visible.

Jack jumped just short of Mario, who jumped just short of Luigi. Luigi, the man in green, Twinkle-Toes, had won.

While Luigi cheered, and the other two began to taunt him, in the distance, Bowser was still in the water, watching them, planning some nefarious evilness that would no doubt prove his 'One-Hundred Percent Final Boss'-ness.

Hey everybody, make sure to review ^^

Also, where is all the food Mario was preparing? ...You'll see X )
