Unavoidable

by Terthus Blacksoul

We fell to it's power, the nuke came to us at the worst of times. It ruined us. We didn't even try to stop it, and now, our greatest hero is lost. He has lost his soul and mind, but strives anyway. His goal: To defeat Bowser once again. He his, Mario.

2. Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Mario turned his head slowly "Yes?" and found out he had to look up to catch the figures eyes.

"You look like a stranger to this little town... But we don't like strangers here, so bugger off ye' wuzzer." the figure pushed Mario off of his seat.

Mario figured it out. He was a large Koopa. The kind that could shoot you, but would probably use their hands to kill you instead. The kind that made Goombas look smart. The kind...

The Koopa shook him "Hey you, heard you ran after 'da nuke went off. 'Wus you scared 'er something?"

Mario's hand gripped his knife "Pardon me sir, but it was either I ran or died, and quite frainkly, you're blocking my exit."

It snorted "You ain't going nowhere. I'm gonna make you pay for running from your destiney."

The words hit Mario like a stone. Or possibly that was just the Koopa's fist. It sent him sprawling onto the bar floor. He got back up, shook dust off himself, and pulled out a 45. calliber. One of them wasn't going to get out of this alive. Better him then me...

Mario's eyes wandered the room. More large figures had gathered around the room. It looked as if this wasn't going to be easy. A figure jumped Mario, meeting his large bowie knife in midair with a sickening "shlick". The Koopa's goonie fell over, spraying his paint-like blood all over the wooden surface of the floor.

Mario smilled "Anyone else want to talk to me about the incident?"

Aparently, they did. Mario was quickly overthrown by the crowd and forced down onto a table. The large Koopa walked toward him with the bowie knife, now soaked in blood.

"Now you is 'gonna feel 'da pain my buddy felt."

Mario closed his eyes, waiting for the knife to enter his forhead. He didn't know death sounded lie "ARGH!" and "OH CRAP, RUN!" When his eyes oppened, he was staring at a tall figure cloathed in a black trenchcoat.

"Follow me." It said, in a deep monotone voice produced by his mask.

Mario shook his head and got up, his body ran red with pain as he stumbled after the man. He must've shot the Koopa gang and then saved me... But why?

The figure led him to a small fixed-up motor bike. The figure turned toward Mario and pulled off his mask "First of all, my name is Terthus." said the man with the red eyes and white hair.

BEHOLD, MY OC. He is a main character, but Mario is still the protagonist. You'll find out more about him NEXT TIME :D
