CHAPTER 2: A Warm Welcome?

Down Edward fell into the depths of the mysterious pipe. Finally he dropped out of the other end of the pipe. Edward braced himself to hit something hard, but when he hit he landed on something soft. He looked around and what he saw amazed him. He was sitting upon a huge mushroom! He looked at his surroundings; there were more mushrooms around him too! He peered over the edge to see a looooooong drop. He gulped and looked into the distance to see a cliff that lead to flat land. He looked at the pipe that had just spat him out and saw it was gone! Edward looked a little nervous, but he decided to take his chances with the mushrooms rather than stupidly tell the pipe to come back or something.

Edward carefully began to hop from shroom to shroom. He stopped to see something totally weird. A floating box with a "?" on it hovered near him. He stared at it for a good thirty seconds with a totally confused expression no doubt trying to figure out how that could logically happen.

"This place is…weird," he scratched the back of his head in confusion still staring at the orange "?" box ", is this a dream?"

"You better hope it is," a strange voice said from behind him. Ed turned around to see a strange yellow turtle like creature inside and egg shell smirking menacingly. "But unfortunately for you, it isn't," he got into a battle stance. Edward stared blankly at the weird creature standing before him ignoring the "?" box he was originally staring at.

"Are you some kind of talking chimera?" Ed pointed raising an eyebrow. There was a short moment of silence while the two just stared at each other.

"A chi-what?" the egg thing asked in confusion ", I am the great, Master Jr. Troopa, and you are on my turf!" Ed stared some more at that last comment, then he cracked.

"HA HA HA HA HA HA!" Ed burst out laughing ", You? Great? What a load of CRAP!" Ed continued to laugh and Jr. Troopa did not look happy. "You're a pint-sized little turtle…thing stuck in an egg shell, and you're mouthin' off to me? You aren't even a fourth of my size! Man I thought I was short! HA HA HA HA…," he paused at his last comment realizing what he just said ", WAIT A SECOND! I'M NOT SHORT AT ALL! I MEAN, I SORTA AM, I MEAN…AAAAAAAAAAUGH!"

"Huh?" Jr. Troopa just stared at him like he was crazy ", Enough! I'm gonna teach you what happens when you laugh at the almighty, JR. TROOPA! EN GARDE!" He charged at Ed full speed. Ed was already ticked as it was so he just booted the little egg turtle in the face. That releaved some of his stress. Jr. Troopa landed on his back ", Ow…."

Ed turned around and shrugged hopping to the next giant-sized mushroom. "Hey!" Jr. Troopa shouted having trouble getting up because of his shell ",You get back here! I'm not finished with you yet! HEY! Are you listening to me? GET BACK HEEEEEEERE!"

Of course, Ed paid no attention and just hopped until he reached land. Phew, he thought glad to be away from that little egg freak, and for being on land again. But soon after he took a couple steps he was halted again, only this time it wasn't just one. "Damn…"

Me-Poor Ed…

Ed-What?

Me-You just keep having problems…

Ed-What's the supposed to mean?

Mario-It means review, and will I be in the next chapter?

Me-Yes you will.

Mario-Yipee!
