Servo: I wonder what's taking NUTCASE so long?
Mallow: He told me he had some importent business to attend to today. He said he should be here by possibly 2:30.
Crow: Well it's 2:00 central time now, and we ourselves are in the central time zone... He should be here soon then.
Me: Hey guys!
Zane: Well lookie here, he's back sooner than exected!
Me: I would have been here this morning, but I had an importent appointment with some people concerning my college work. Not only that, my mother and I went to see my grandma and had lunch. Anyway, the new chapter begins now! This chapter takes the focus of Clay and the rest of the heroes to take a look at what's happining back in the Mushroom Kingdom. This chapter also features Merlon giving Mario, Peach, and Luigi some information on Clay's wereabouts. But due to Clay being in another dimension, Merlon can't get a good lock on his location. Also Professor E. Gadd unviels a new invention!
Zane: Ok, time for fanfic sign!
Chapter 15: Help Is On The Way!
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Clay's brothers, Mario and Luigi along with Princess Peach and Toadsworth were very concerned with the information the remaining vacation party Clay was a part of told them that several of their friends had vanished into a strange portal. With the many odd occurences in the kingdom as of late, the group went to Merlon's to figure out what was going on.
Merlon looked into his crystal ball, and foresaw some disturbing events in the present and future, which are tied to events long sinced passed. He said, "Clay, Zane, and the others are on a perilous journey at them moment... Otherwise, they are safe. The world they are in now is not that much different from your old home world, Mario and Luigi."
Luigi then said, "Well, it's good to know Clay's allright. I guess we shouldn't have to worry anymore." Merlon then said, "Sadly, that is not the case. Even though Clay and his friends have some support from that new world's inhabitants, he'll be facing some very steep odds... Wait, something else is revealing itself." At that moment, Merlon's crystal ball revealed a horrible monster identical to the ones that the Mario brothers fought at the Island O' Hags.
When Mario saw it, he said, "Hey, that's one of those creepy dinosaurs we took out. What's it doing in that ball?" Peach was terrified of this thing after she laid eyes on it a few months ago. Even just a picture of this thing would creep her out now after having first met one of these monsters.
Merlon's face paled, and he then muttered, "Dentes Rhohos..." Luigi then said, "What was that?" Merlon looked up and said, "Mario, Luigi, princess, you must hear every word I say! This monster you see in my crystal ball is an evil beast from aincient Mushroom Kingdom mythology known simply as a Dentes Rhohos." Peach then said, "Dentes Rhohos!? That was what killed the evil witch Gruntilda!"
Merlon then said, "I only thought these creatures were merely a myth until now... According to legend, they survived the impact from the meteor that separated this world from the Real World with several other species of dinosaurs who lived on to this day in this world... The dinosaurs of Dinosaur Land, the Isle O' Hags, and Tiger Track Island tell tales about these beasts who once terrorized the aincient world during the final days of the Mezozoic Era. They are rumored to be imortal, as it was said they cheated the Grim Reaper, and attained imortality from him."
This news scared the two plumbers and the princess. These monsters were likely still very much alive, and no doubt were lusting for revenge. Merlon continued saying, "The most disturbing aspect of their nature was that in order to increase their numbers, they painted blood on another dinosaur's teeth which was treated with powerful dark magic to transform the poor individual into one of them. It was rumored the meteor killed them off finally, but the rumors of them being immortal, as well as my readings here certainly prove otherwise. Clay and his friends are being hunted down by these monsters, and I fear for their safety. I wish I could see more, but I cannot..."
The four then heard an elderly voice say, "Well, it seems my visit is not in vain then!" They turned to see their old friend Elvin Gadd at the door. Luigi then said, "Gadd, what're you doing here?" The old professor then said, "I came to tell you I built something that I hope will help you bring Clay and the others home. Please follow me, I left it at the castle a few minutes ago when I heard you came here."
Mario, Peach, and Luigi followed E. Gadd back to the castle where they saw an odd-looking pod of some kind. Surrounding it were their friends from their last adventure, Bobo, Observer, Crow, Gypsy, Mike, and Joel. There was also Toad, his friend Toadette, and Toadsworth. E. Gadd then said, "So, how are those final adjustments Ned?" Ned the Nanite appeared on a hologram, and said, "We're 37 percent done professor. There, 100 percent completion! It's finished!" Luigi then muttered, "That was quick..."
Mario then said, what is this thing? It looks like a missle..." E. Gadd then said, "Heh heh, oh no my dear boy, it's my newest invention! I call it the Elvin Gadd Space-Time Transporter! After Clay's disapperance, I went to Isle Delfino to study the odd energy readings my insturments picked up. I then used that data to make this machine, with the help of Joel, Observer, Bobo, Gypsy, Mike, Crow, and the Nanites of course. This machine will help transport anyone to any place outside this world! I made it so some of us can go give Clay and his friends a helping hand, and get them home safely."
Peach was overjoyed about this new invention, and said, "That's wonderful, professor!" Mario was also happy as he said, "Yeah, this is one of your best ideas yet!" Luigi then said, "Why can't we use it to simply bring them home?" Professor E. Gadd then said, "I thought of that, but I ran out of materials to build this thing. As a result, I could only make it fit two people." Luigi then said, "Can't Brain Guy use his powers to make it bigger!?" Observer replied with, "I would have, but I had a feeling that Clay and the others can't leave that world just yet. So I made the decision of not using my powers to improve this machine's design."
Mario then said, "Yeah, they can't. Remember what Merlon told us, Luigi? Clay and the others are in the middle of saving whatever world they're in right now, so they can't leave." Luigi realized he was wrong this time, so he conceded the argument. Luigi then said, "Who's gonna be going?" E. Gadd then said, "Since you brought it up, how about you sonny?"
Luigi paled, and then said, "ME!?" E. Gadd then said, "Crow also volunteered to go along, so you wont be alone." Luigi didn't hear that part, and then said, "Bu-but I can't! I-I'm allergic to other dimensions!" Everyone looked at Luigi with blank faces, then Mario said, "If that's the case, why didn't you get sick when you and I first arrived in the Mushroom Kingdom twenty-two years ago?"
Luigi then said, "Well... It was worth a try..." Luigi hesitantly went into the pod, and Crow followed soon after. Luigi looked back towards the others, and gulped. But everyone waved goodbye to him, and wished him and Crow luck. Crow then said Grow up, ya big baby! We got a job to do!" The doors on the pod shut as it began to get ready to launch.
Professor E. Gadd then said, "Ok, remember to keep your hands inside the machine at all times, and there will be no smoking on this flight. Also, I enclosed a gift for you boys which will be helpfull when you arrive at the coordinates I programmed into the pod. Now fasten your seatbe-" He stopped and rememberd something importent. Then he said, "Uh oh..." Luigi then said from inside the pod, "Uh oh? What's 'uh oh'?" All E. Gadd could say was, "Uh oh!!!" Luigi was aggrivated, then said, "Enough of the 'uh oh's! Tell me what you did, or did not do!"
E. Gadd then said, "Boys get out of there now! I forgot to put in the-" He didn't get the chance to finish as the pod flew into the air, busting a hole in the castle roof as it flew away. From inside, you can hear Luigi and Crow screaming. "Seat belts..." E. Gadd finally said before the pod dissapeared into a flash of light as it travelled through the space-time continuum to it's destination.
Toadsworth sighed, and said, "Toad, call the repairmen..." Toad ran off to the nearest phone to get someone to fix the roof. Peach then said to Mario, "Do you think those two will be ok?" Mario then said, "Well, I don't know about Crow, but I know Luigi will do fine. If he could handle saving me from a dead psycho's art gallery with only Clay, E. Gadd, and Toad helping him, he can handle anything." Peach smiled, and said, "Yes, your right Mario. I'm sure Luigi will be ok wherever he goes."
To be continued...
Servo: Hahahahahaha! Poor Luigi, always getting dragged into dangerous, yet comical situations!
Zane: No seat belts!? You'd thik E. Gadd would have remembered something like that.
Me: True, but age can mess up your memory. Besides, Gadd wanted to help seeing as he didn't get to do much in the first story other than operate the Ghost Portrificationizer to seal away King Boo, and later on, Dr. Forrester.
Mallow: Well, that's another chapter over and done with. What's next?
Me: Luigi and Crow join the team, that's what. Not only that, E. Gadd also sends some much needed supplies for the team.
Crow: Well, that's all for now.
Me: See you at the next update! R&R!
