Chapter 5: Race against Time

"I`m too old for this," Toadror the Great said, travelling through Monster Town. "I can feel it deep within my soul… documents have been read. I`m quite sure the entire Universe is at stake now. If Mario doesn`t succeeds in beating the different bad guys who will be put against them, the world is doomed forever."

***

During that time, Mario was preparing himself for the quest to find Toadror the Great. Geno, as well as Kylie and Peasley, were back in shape and were also preparing their things.

"So… I`ll bring five 1-Up Mushrooms, many power-ups, many mushrooms and that should be okay."

"As for me… I`ll use my Arm Missiles, and I wouldn`t be perfect without my Geno Whirl."

"My sword and my flying bean are all I need," Peasley said.

"And I`ll bring my picture taker, and I will bring some more items just in case. Okay, we`re ready."

Mario finally left Toad Town to search for Toadror the Great. The Toads were acclaiming the five-member group leaving now. They were walking slowly like a movie put on slow-motion. However, they were ready to fight against the threats that would step in their way.

***

"I`m really getting too old for this…" Toadror was thinking about his son, Toadror Junior. He could feel his son`s pain and terror. Wherever he was, he might be causing trouble, and Toadror was even thinking that it might be one of his plans.

"Sometimes I hate my own kid…"

Despite his great age, Toadror was travelling at a high speed for an old man. He would reach Toad Town in a complete day of walking. However this was too much for him. His son was believing the wrong thing: it wasn`t Mario`s fault. It was more the Toads` fault. Almost everyone knew it, apart from Mario himself… and Junior.

"I must tell him what really happened…"

During this time, at Bowser`s Castle, Cackletta and Elder Princess Shroob were fighting for an unknown reason, fight that stopped as soon as the monstrous turtle stepped in the room.

"Why were you fighting?" Bowser asked.

"We were fighting for…" Cackletta began.

"…for the last glass of lava bubble. Despite this, we`re already feeling like sisters," Shroob said.

"Fine! We can now summon the master key of my plan." Bowser took the document and opened it. A cloud of smoke appeared out of it, soon materializing into the ugly metallic face of Smithy.

"BOWSER! I never could forget the defeat you`ve given me last time! You were helped by that Geno, that Mallow, also by Peach, and more than anyone else…. Mario. Why have you summoned me? Is it to get defeated? You`re alone now!"

"No way! Since your attack on the kingdom, I`ve progressed, I even was able to take control of a complete universe, so shut up. I have summoned you so you serve under me, just like Cackletta and Elder Princess Shroob here. You are the most dangerous creatures the Mario brothers have defeated, and now you can take your revenge. However, I doubt you two were fighting for a soft drink. Why were you fighting exactly?"

"Oh, for nothing!" Cackletta answered.

FIVE MINUTES AGO…

"He`s gonna be mine!"

"No! I`ll possess him first!"

"I have possessed him first, for longer than you!"

"Yeah, but I made him invulnerable!"

Cackletta was already using her Dark Holes attack, while the Shroob was attacking with each of her tentacles that appeared from nowhere.

"We`ll see…"

And then Bowser stepped in.

That night, Mario and his team arrived at the Tadpole Pond, where Frogfucius lives, and prepared to rest there for the night. They unrolled their sleeping bags, and entered in, preparing for a sweet slumber. However, Luigi was just a bit sleepy when something fell over him.

"Stupid rocks!" said an old man`s voice.

Princes Peasley also felt something poking his leg, and he was unable to sleep.

"I am a prince and I need sleep or else I`ll hang you… oh right, we`re not in Beanbean."

"Can I know what you are doing on my property?" A more sage voice said then. Mario woke up when he felt a cane poking his head.

"Oh, Frogfucius! It s been quite a long time, eh?" Mario said happily despite some tiredness in his tone.

"Oh, Mario! Welcome back in Tadpole Pond! And who is that old Toad behind Luigi?"

Mario looked around, and saw a black-and-red-mushroomed, long-bearded, purple-caped Toad.

"I don`t know, who are you?" Mario asked."

"My name is Toadror. Toadror the Great, ancient archive guardian of Toad Town and master magician."

"Is that you?" Frogfucius asked. "It`s been nearly ten years I hadn`t seen you! How are you?"

"Well, I`m here because I needed to find Mario, and at the same time I wanted to pay a little visit to my old friend Frogfucius."

"Can we sleep please? A hard day awaits us tomorrow…" Kylie said, in her sleeping bag.

"Okay then," the two wise old people said.

***

The next day…

"That is the entire story, Frogfucius," Geno said. "Kylie, Peasley and I have been summoned to help Mario for this quest. And as we learned this night, you (pointing to the Toad) must be Toadror."

"Wait a second!" Luigi shouted. "THE Toadror!? The one behind all this? The one who created the wicked archives?"

"Yes, but…"

"No "but", Toadror! Because of you, three creatures from our past are on the loose, and we`re doomed!" Luigi said, pointing the old Toad with anger. "You`ve created the Archives and now, we`re in trouble!"

"Wait, I can explain!" Frogfucius said. "I have kept a precise memory of what happened that day, and I will show you right away."

And, opening a mind bubble, Frogfucius reminded everything that happened. Soon pictures were getting created in the red-glowing bubble…

In next chapter: Everything about Toadror`s past! What has really happened that day of his exile will be revealed. Many questions will get an answer, and more important, Frogfucius will reveal small parts of the future to our heroes! That`s to read!

I don`t own any characters, the ones I created are mine however.

In last chapter: It was a race against time: Though Bowser had successfully summoned Smithy, there was something going between the Shroob and Cackletta. During this time, Mario`s team stops at Tadpole Pond and meets Frogfucius, but also Toadror, who came all the way to there. And Frogfucius is revealing everything about Toadror`s past…
