Welcome. If you're reading this passage, it means you have selected for Wario to take the hero path. It will be simple for awhile, but eventually, the path will split even more for so that Wario will become Pure Hero or Semi Hero. And as a bonus, one of the endings' final fights will be handled differently than it was in Shadow the Hedgehog. Well, here's the first hero story.

Part 1A: Wario helping Mario

Area: Diamond City

Wario was finally at the heart of Diamond City. But he saw suffering everyway. Soldiers were fighting the black creatures. The black aliens were firing ray guns. The soldiers weren't exactly cowardly however. They also fought back with Fire Flowers, Magic, and even more primitive fire guns. Wario saw this as he entered the fray.

"Hmm. Promise time." Wario said. "Better go fulfill this so called promise."

Wario saw an explosion knock out a Toad soldier. Toads are the mushroom creatures. They are small yet powerful and athletic.

Wario ran pass the fallen soldier and met up with a familiar friend. If you call them friends. He wore a red shirt with blue overalls. He also wore a red hat with the letter 'M' on it. Also he had a large, noticeable mustache. It's Mario!

"Hey, Wario. Long time no see," Mario greeted giving thumbs up.

Wario groaned "Of all people I run into, it had to be you!"

"Well let's skip the reunion then. Look like these black creatures mean business." Mario explained. "Let's set aside our differences and take them out."

"Find. I'll lead!" Wario ordered.

"If you say so," Mario shrugged.

Wario and Mario ran through the abolished city. The city inhabitants, the ones that survived, had long fled. Wario and Mario saw three black creatures. Two of them were in the air.

Wario knocked out the creature on the ground while Mario used his jumping skills to get the other two.

"Not bad Wario," Mario complimented.

"Leave me alone," Wario 'thanked'

The duo saw more creatures and took them out with ease. Soon a box had mysteriously opened up. It was a glowing green orb.

"A Magical Orb?" Mario wondered out loud.

"So that's what one looks like," Wario smirked.

Wario grabbed the orb.

"Well, with that orb, you can unlock unlimited power!" Mario said.

Mario looked back to see black aliens still running amuck.

"Mama Mia! We've missed some. You go on ahead Wario. I'll catch up." Mario said.

Wario jump on a spring to propel himself upwards. There, he met the same eye. The eye was called Doom's Eye.

"You're late Wario," the eye said.

"…"

"From now on, my eye will follow you. Now go and eliminate these sub creature soldiers who dare defy me." Doom's Eye ordered.

"Whatever," Wario shrugged. "Better make it look like I'm at least trying" Wario thought to himself.

Wario knocked out a few turtles, call Koopas, and large creatures, called Piantas, by 'accident.' He also 'accidentally' knocked out a few black aliens.

"Wario, stop at once!" The eye ordered.

"Fine," Wario said with impatience.

After knocking out more soldiers and aliens 'accidentally,' Doom's Eye began to leave.

"Wario, I'm needed else where, you must go and stop these sub creatures at once. Understand?"

"Okay, sheesh!"

The eye flew away. Wario saw Mario not far off.

"I don't know who or what these black creatures are, but we can't let them get away with this," Mario said.

Wario was confused. "HOW DID YOU GET AHEAD OF ME?"

"No time for that now, let's go!"

The duo still ran through the city destroying every alien in their paths. By now, buildings began to collapse from explosions. When Wario destroyed another alien, he began to feel power inside of him. Good power.

"What the?" Wario asked.

"You did good things, Wario. You can now use 'Wario Control,'" Mario explained.

"How did you know that?" Wario asked. Realizing that nothing is making sense however, he dropped the question. "Here goes nothing. Wario… CONTROL!"

Mario grabbed onto Wario, and they both sped off. This intense speed managed to destroy some aliens and unfortunately, some soldiers.

"Good news, we've destroyed at least three fourths of the aliens. Let's go."

Wario and Mario managed to destroy even more aliens. They came to an opening in the city.

"Most of the inhabitants left," Mario said sadly. "I feel so sorry for them."

"If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're copying someone. But who?"

Wario and Mario knocked out more aliens. Then Wario saw something that attracted his eyes. The blue Magical Orb.

"Come to papa!" Wario cheered.

"No, not yet!" Mario ordered. "We need to finish off the remaining aliens."

"But…but…. Aw for crying out loud!"

Wario and Mario ran past the orb and found a launcher to take them over a gap and through another building. There were more aliens and soldiers.

"Let's-a go!"

Mario and Wario punched out two aliens.

"I think there's one more," Mario said.

He failed to notice that the last alien was diving towards him.

"Mario, LOOK OUT!" Wario shouted. Wario threw a punch with all of his might and sent that alien to kingdom come. Mario was speechless.

"Thanks," he simply said.

The blue Magical Orb Wario left behind earlier floated to him. Wario grabbed it.

"Filthy black creatures. Get out of my sight," Wario said as Mario gave thumbs up.

Area: Army Base

Somewhere in the world, there is an army that is there to defend the entire world from certain destruction. Usually, they work undercover. But with the world now endanger from an invasion that is the most threatening of all, they decide that it is enough to hide behind the curtains. This army is called P.U.N. The Protection Units of the Nations. Inside the base scientists are on their computers researching about the black aliens. They have a world map of where the aliens had hit. Also, they had footage of the battle in Diamond City.

The P.U.N. Commander was a mysterious fellow. He was a fairly old Toad. He had gray spots on his mushroom head. But the strangest of all, he had two different colored eyes. One was blue and the other was orange. He always had a stern look on his face. A bomb soldier, a Bob-omb, ran up to him and saluted.

"Sir," the soldier spoke, "the black aliens have hit six major cities around the world, and every city is reporting significant damage and causalities. Among them, Diamond City has received the heaviest causalities due to its weakened defense system. Downtown Diamond City has almost been completely destroyed. Unconfirmed sources also reported a fat human in purple overalls in Diamond City."

The last part was the part the Commander was interested at the most. "Wario? Deploy all troops, NOW! And if you find Wario with the black aliens, then kill them all!"

"But sir isn't Wario on our side?" The soldier asked.

"I gave you an order soldier he's evil and he's the enemy!"

The soldier departed.

"You're not fooling me this time Wario. This time, you're mine!"

Area: Diamond City Ruins

Wario was smiling because he already found two of the Magical Orbs.

"As soon as I get my memory back," Wario thought. "I'll sell these things in the Black Market."

Mario came running up to him.

"What you did back there was something Wario. Thanks again."

"I didn't come here to save you." Wario said.

"I thought you'll say that," Mario joked. "How about some kind of friendly competition?"

"Don't hold your breath!"

Doom's Eye floated towards them. He saw some Mario with Wario but he shrugged it off. He had some more news.

"We've found the third Chaos Emerald in this city. Our mission here is done. Now get going!" The eye said and floated away.

The two stood there for awhile until Mario said, "Yeehah! Level two. Let's-a go."

Mario ran off.

"Get back here," Wario said and chased after him.

Go to Part 2A whenever I'll be able to put it up. ;)
