I don`t own any characters, the ones I created are mine however.
Last episode: Mario learned about the Toadror Archives, a magical database that stored everything from the Kingdom. He is assigned to keep it from intruders. However, Toadror Jr. allied with Bowser and told him all details!
Chapter 2: First Days of Guard
Mario came back to his house, a simple wooden house, in which he and Luigi were living. Mario entered by the front door and was welcomed by Luigi.
"Hey, bro, what did Peach wanted you for?"
And Mario told the entire story of the archives, taking pauses between each explanation so his brother would understand.
"And I was wondering if you could help me on this. I`ll really need your help, because these archives are truly dangerous, as Bowser can attack soon."
"Wait a little second, Mario," Luigi said. "You mean Bowser may attack it? Oh my…"
"You said it! It`s not gonna be easy, we`ll have to stay awake, we`ll need absolutely to guard the place."
"Then, I think I got a plan…"
***
The next day, at Peach`s Castle…
"I brought Luigi with me. I noticed the Archives is in a very big mushroom house, and these houses are not too solid so we`ll need to really look all around it."
"Fine, do as you want," Princess Peach said. "Do whatever you can to prevent Bowser from even touching that house.
"Okay Princess," the plumbers said before leaving for the Toadror Archives.
***
During this time, Bowser was preparing his plan. Junior was at his side.
"I GOT IT!" Bowser said. "I`ll send all my troops at the same time, they`ll bring back the documents and I`ll summon the enemies from here."
"Tss…" Junior said. "It won`t work."
"How can you be so sue, Toadror Junior?" Bowser asked.
"I know very well about these Archives. I knew them even before hearing Mario and the Princess talking about it; however it only popped up in my mind when I spied on them."
"And why do you say it won`t work?"
"Because Mario is smart: he`ll probably call some of his friends for help. Let me go first. I`ll transform into you and simulate a battle. After, I`ll come back here and tell you about the continuation of my plan."
"Fine, go."
***
Mario and Luigi started their guard around the Archives, making sure nothing would even try touching the Toad House. But Bowser (actually it was Junior transformed as Bowser) appeared from behind a small Toad House.
"Hello Mario Bros."
"Bowser! Mario and Luigi exclaimed.
"I`m not here for a battle. I`m just here to look up these Archives."
"We will let nobody even enter this place, so NO WAY! Luigi shouted. "En garde!"
Junior mimicked a flame breath move, but Mario just kicked him away, stopping the attack. Then Luigi took Bowser`s horns and lifted Junior`s transformation up in the air, before throwing it back on the ground. Mario grabbed the fake Bowser`s tail and started spinning. He spun, spun, until it looked like a tornado, and finally released, throwing the false Bowser far, far away.
"Good job, Mario!" Luigi said. "I don`t think Bowser will come back soon!"
***
Junior, whose transformation had disappeared, landed back in Bowser`s throne room.
"They are alone, sir."
"Excellent. We`ll attack again tomorrow."
"Nope, Master Bowser. Now that they know Bowser may strike back, they`ll call up for friends and allies. So the next part of my plan is quite simple, however I doubt you`ll like it."
"Just tell me! I wanna know."
"Okay, so here it is…"
***
"Mario!" Luigi said. "We have beaten Bowser now, however he can come back anytime! I suggest we try something."
"What is your idea, Luigi?"
"I suggest that we enter this Archive and that we summon some of our friends. Going to see them would be too long, we would tell them everything here, we would be safe."
"NO, Luigi! Princess has ordered us to never go inside. She told us to protect it from outside. We just can`t break the royal orders."
"So, what will you do if Bowser comes back more powerful?"
"Uh… Okay, you won. We`ll call Geno, Prince Peasley and Kylie Koopa for help."
The Mario Bros entered the Archives and headed for the Allies section. This section was quite impressive despite the small amount of Allies they had met! Soon Luigi found the document about Prince Peasley and opened it. The famous prince on his flying bean appeared right in front of them.
"Where am I? I was in the middle of a battle with a Beanie when I arrived here. Mario! Luigi! What`s up, friends?" Peasley asked before showing up his flashing smile.
"We brought you here because we have to keep this place safe from Bowser and we need extra help. We`ll also teleport two other friends."
"I agree to help you, after all a Beanie is not much of a threat."
Mario finally found Geno`s document and opened it, revealing the human-sized doll with its spirit.
"Mario. What happened? I was still up there, guarding the Seven Star Pieces, and then I am here, back in this doll body, in front of you. Can you explain please?"
"Can it wait?" Mario asked. "I have another person to summon first.
Luigi found the document about Kylie Koopa, the journalist, and opened it, revealing the reporter who had been so useful in the battle against the Shroobs. And she asked the same things as the others (where am I, how did I get here, yatta yatta…). After all explanations have been given, the three allies nodded.
"We will do whatever we can to protect this place," Geno said.
"Yes, I will do everything to help you as I did before," Kylie added.
"And we`ll do that with style and fame!" said Peasley, launching another brilliant smile.
However, in Bowser`s Castle, the plan was getting prepared…
In next episode: The plan is finally ready! Bowser will wreak havoc far away and Mario and Luigi will need to go stop him, while they leave the Archives to their friends.
