Paper Mario: Star Rod Chronicles

Chapter 2

A Tragic End

If you see, I like to rhyme! Now here's the show, because it's time!


Peach's Castle

People from all regions were at the party.

"Hey Bro! Maybe you should go talk to the Princess!" Luigi said.

"Ok! I'll do that! But first…"

"Mario! Aren't you at least going to say hi to the princess?"

"Of course I am! I'm just going to buy a Mushroom to give to the Princess!"

"She can do without the Mushroom. Why don't you talk around to the others too?"

Mario went to talk to Mayor Penguin of the Shiver City.

"Mario! If that isn't you, then the poachers can shoot me and cut me up!"

"It's me, Mayor Penguin, it's me. Where are the other penguins of Shiver City?" Mario asked.

"They didn't want to come." The Mayor replied.

Mario decided to walk to the second floor and get something to eat. He saw some cake, a pie, and pasta. Mario went with the pasta. Mario also saw a Boo. Mario went to talk to it.

"Hi! My name's Mario!"

"Hello. I'm Flameboo. I came as a representative of Boo's Mansion. I also LOVE Gamecube."

"Really? I do too! Maybe we can play Mario Kart Double Dash! Together sometime. How about tomorrow?" Mario offered.

Flameboo replied, "Alright. Tomorrow it is!"

Luigi walked up. "Hey Mari-AAAAAAH! GHOST!"

And Luigi ran away.

Mario then went upstairs, to talk to Peach.

As Mario approached a guard, he said "Ah, Mario! We have been expecting you. The Princess wants to talk to you."

"Ok."

Mario entered the door, and went over to Peach.

"Mario! You're here! Isn't it a nice day? Let's go onto my private balcony and talk there.


Meanwhile, while all of this has happened…

Star Haven

Eldstar, the oldest of the 7 Star Spirits, began speaking with, "Ok everyone. We have been getting many wishes that Bowser wished. What shall we do? Shall we grant his wish to trounce Mario? And to finally let Princess Peach like him?"

Mamar, the sweetest, replied, "No. He is too selfish. He is always kidnapping the Princess, and Mario, the hero of Mushroom Kingdom, is always rescuing the Princess."

Muskular, a young blue Star Spirit, said, "Mamar is right. He is too selfish… What? What is that?"

At that moment, a Magikoopa appeared, and blasted the Star Rod, the tool to granting wishes! The magic shield around the treasure was destroyed, and Kammy Koopa, the 2nd highest ranked Magikoopa stole it.

An evil laugh filled the room. As the Star Spirits looked outside, they saw, Bowser in his Clown Copter, advancing to the room after defeating all the Star Guards, and maybe even fatally wounding them. Bowser took the Star Rod and turned the Star Spirits into cards…

"No! Please don't!"

"Maaario! HELP US!"

"Take this! Star Sto-arrrgh!"

Bowser watched as they all turned into cards. Kammy transported them to the highest rank of the enemies.

Unknown to the duo, a star kid rose from Starborn Valley right as Bowser arrived... His name was Twink.

Twink floated around, and saw the horrible fate of the Star Guards. Twink rushed to them. Most were still alive but unconscious. Many were dead, and were lying in a puddle of their own light yellow blood. Twink couldn't take this horrible sight… And then, he remembered why he rose up, To talk to the Star Spirits.

Twink entered the chamber of the Star Rod, and was saddened at the sight. He saw Bowser turn the Star Spirits into cards.

Bowser then said, "Ha! This blue Star Spirit looks weird! Heh heh heh…" Right after that, Twink realized it was Muskular. Twink looked again and saw Bowser plunge a claw into the card, ripping a hole through it. Then Bowser and Kammy left.

"No…Muskular…my idol…" Cried Twink.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"


Sad, isn't it? Yes! Heh. Well, review please! Thank you kindly. Reviews will be used to cheer Twink up.
