Chapter 10: The True Wielder of the Ultrimax Crystals

Bomberman, Max, Mario, and Luigi were all trapped inside Mujoe's lair. With no way to escape. How will they be able to stop Mujoe in time? Let's find out.

"So why are they even called 'Ultrimax' Crystals? The name sounds weird. Where does it come from?" asked Mario.

"Nobody knows, Mario." replied Luigi.

"Well....." said Bomberman, suddenly interrupting. "...the guardians of the Ultrimax Crystals might know."

As Bomberman was talking about the guardians of the Ultrimax Crystals, sure enough, one of them appeared.

"Hey!" said Max, getting up all of a sudden, sobbered up from lying down. "You're a guardian of the Ultrimax Crystal!"

Bomberman and the two plumbers got up right after Max said that.

"Yeah! You are!"

"That's right." said the guardian.

And as he spoke, six more guardians appeared. They were all surrounding the laser cage. Each one was a different color, red, blue, yelow, green, cyan, purple, and a rainbow colored guardian. They all had beards, infact, they all looked the same, with the only exception of their colored robes. The red guardian continued speaking.

"Listen to me. Mujoe is planning to use all seven Ultrimax Crystals to take over the universe. You must stop him at once!"

"But we're trapped!" said Luigi.

The seven guardians raised their wands, and shot their power at the laser cage, suddenly the laser cage's lock broke, the lasers wore off, and our four heroes were set free.

"Listen!" continued the guardian. "Mujoe is keeping the Ultrimax Crystals at the core of his headquarters. You must head over there and retrieve those Ultrimax Crystals!"

"Don't worry! We will!" said Mario, who was ready to fight some Hige Hige Bandits and kick their butts.

"And listen, they're named the Ultrimax Crystals because the crystals have a true wielder! Mujoe may have the power of the Crystals, but they will not give their full power to him, because he is not the true wielder of the crystals! The true wielder of the Crystals is......MAX!

The two plumber's eyes widened with surprise.

"No way!" said Luigi.

"Now I know why they call 'em Ultri'MAX' Crystals!" said Mario in response.

"That is correct." said the guardian.

"Well, if I'm the true wielder of the crystals, then what are we waiting for? I wanna see what I can do with those crystals!"

"Yeah! We all do!" said Bomberman, who was zealous of course. Zealous to see what Max could do with the ultimate power of those crystals.

"Let's go! Come on!"

Max ran down the hall to go after the Ultrimax Crystals and Mujoe. Our three heroes from before Max arrived followed him down the hall.

"Good Luck, all of you!" said the guardian, waving goodbye.

Our four heroes, (with Max leading the way) were very close to the core after taking an elevator, and goiing through many hallways. They fought off Hige Hige Bandits as they went. At last.....

A large team of Hige Hige Bandits had our heroes completely surrounded. There were too many to fight off.

"What do we do now?" said Luigi, who was out of fireballs to shoot.

"I don't know!" said Mario in response, who was also out of fireballs.

"Relax. I'll just use the Hyper Plasma Bomb to get us out of this." said Max, who stayed calm while the two plumbers and the white warrior panicked.

"HYPERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!" yelled Max, as he started charging up his Hyper Plasma Bomb.

Then, Hige Hige Bandits dove for our heroes. They started assaulting them and getting ahold of them.

"Let me go!" said Bomberman, while fighting off a bunch of Bandits.

"Can't.......breathe!" squeaked Mario, who was begging for air under the avalance of bandits that were choking him to death.

".................PLASMA!"

Then everything went white for a wplite second, and all the Bandits laid dead on the floor. Mario was gasping for air, and Luigi and Bomberman freed theirselves from some Bandits that were still holding on, they fell to the floor unconsciously.

"Ok. Glad that's over. Now what?" said Bomberman.

"We keep going. The Ultrimax Crystals are close. I can feel them!" said Max.

"Not so fast, Maxie boy!" said a voice.

Bomberman and Max recognized the voice instantly. Mario and Luigi did not know who it was as they were new to Bomberman's universe, and were not used to things.

Anyway, the voice that spoke was none other than the voice of the evil professor that was assisting Mujoe on taking over the universe, Dr. Mechard.

"If you want those Crystals, you will have to put up with me first!"

Dr. Mechard was inside the huge head space ship of his own head that they faced back at Canyone.

"I've perfected my calculations so that this time, no part of this thing opens up after a certain attack! Get ready for the downfall of a lifetime!"
