Mario & Sonic II: World Heroes

Chapter Fifteen

Ain't that a Peach

Storm, Wave and Jet were quickly found themselves surrounded by Shadow, Silver, and Mario, but the birds didn't seem scared in the least. "We've anticipated this! Our master was very specific about your various weaknesses!" Jet then chortled unfolding his arms doing his own little pose. "We live for destruction!"

"We fight for evil!" Storm muttered running up behind Jet the Hawk doing his own pose.

Wave the Swallow noticed Princess Peach trying to sneak off and blasted her with a Rope Cannon tying her up. "Oh, where do you think you're going, missy?" she chuckled.

After Peach was secured tied, Wave looked up, crying out. "We love the misfortunate others get from our arrival!" she then winked at Shadow, which made him roll his eyes.

All three birds pushed each other until Jet the Hawk stood in front of the them and in unison they cried. "We are the Babylon Rogues!" However, a horrid expression appeared on the faces of Mario, Silver, and Shadow.

"Ya see guys, didn't I tell you that our intro was golden!" Jet chortled loudly, but he turned scolding his teammates. "However, Storm your pelvic thrusts were a little off! And don't even get me started on you Wave!"

"Uh...okay?" Mario groaned with a large sweat drop coming off his cap, before he forgot that were attempting to kidnap Peach. "...Hey? Wait, you fiends!!! Unhand Princess Peach, at once and just who is this Dark Priestess you're talking about!" he yelped, shaking his fist at them.

"Enough of this foolishness!" Shadow yelled, slapping Mario outta the way. "These fools aren't just gonna give that woman back without a fight, so you might as well save your breath." he then looked at Babylon Rogues. "There's inching for a fight and I say, if they want a fight." he then yelled at the top of his lungs, before leaving a trail of dust behind as he charged right at Jet the Hawk. "Chaos Lightning!"

Shadow released a bright red charged blast from his hands at Jet sending him crashing into a tree. Shadow quickly hit the breaks on his rocket skates as he turned toward Silver and Mario. "Then got dammit, we'll give them one!"

However, Jet didn't seem fazed by Shadow in the least and immediately leapt onto his glider chortling. "Hmmm...You seemed very fond of this woman, Shadow. You must really care for her, if you want us to give her back to you so desperately." he smirked, dusting himself off.

"Humph. You wish, you overgrown stuff turkey." Shadow huffed, folding his arms. "I could careless about that woman personally. It's just, I wouldn't hear the end of it from those two clods over there..." he then pointed at Mario and Silver. "If I didn't at least attempted to help...Plus, I ain't gonna just stand here and let you embarrass me!"

"Yeah, right! I'm so sure. Whatever you say, Shadow." Jet chuckled, while shrugging shoulders nonchalantly. "You know, in a way, you're just like that fag Sonic. You're always falling hard for some human chick, aren't you Shad-My-Man."

"W-What did you just call me?!" Shadow then growled as he bald up his fists and approached Jet. "You're just asking for it, aren't you bird?!?!" Shadow then formed a Chaos Spear in the palm of his hand and snarled. "I'm gonna take this Chaos Spear and shove it so far up your ass, you're gonna needs soft pads to sit-down."

"Hmm...You seemed a bit ticked off. I think I offended him guys." Jet said, looking back at Storm and Wave. "But no worries. Why? Because I have the exact cure to treat that particular ailment and it's called a proper ass-kicking!"

"Oh, yeah?! Let see you give me that 'proper ass-kicking'" Shadow growled, rocket skating toward Jet, his eyes full of rage.

"Humph. Alright then. Let's see if you can keep up with this speed!" Jet the Hawk then took off like a blur with Shadow trailing behind on his rocket skates.

Shadow chased Jet over the courtyard laughing. "If you actually think you can get away from with that pitiful excuse for speed, then you've got another thing coming! Take this! Chaos Spear!" Shadow then released a flurry of yellow spears that crashed into the ground almost knocking Jet off his glider.

It was obvious that Shadow could keep up with Jet's glider, but the brash Hawk laughed. "Not bad dude! It's a good thing I upgraded the Gear on my board." Just then Jet's board glowed brightly leaving Shadow in his dust.

"Shadow doesn't waste time does he?" Silver chuckled nervously, before looking over at Mario and then sighing. "I guess I'll take Wave! Storm won't be too much for you, right?"

"Hmmm..." Mario murmured, turning toward the oversized bird. "...Hm. Yeah, of course I can handle Storm, they don't call me Super Mario for nothing!" Mario then replied rubbing his shoulder. "Let'sa go!"

"Right then." Silver smirked, channeling his psychic energy. "Teleport...DASH!!!" he echoed, suddenly disappearing in a light blur film.

"I think it's hammer time!" Mario immediately began spinning around like a top heading toward Storm with his mallet poking out. "Take this, you fiend!"

Storm watched as Mario spun toward him in tremendous speed. "...You've got to be kidding me." he sighed, effortlessly grabbing the mallet, stopping Mario in his tracks. "You ready, little man? Let see if you can fly as good as you can spin..."

"Oh...no!" Mario cried about to feel tremendous pain.

Meanwhile, Back at Cranky Kong's pad

Our heroes Luigi, Sonic, and Stuffwell were preparing to leave DK Pass, after just recently thwarting the evil Dr. Kong's agenda, with the aided assistance from DK.

"It's been a real slice, but I think it's about time we blow this popsicle stand!" Sonic chortled ready to get off the tiny island. "I want to see Princess Peach's beautiful face again!"

"Like I said before, man, it's time to fire up the B.F.C., unless you babies want to stay here and party until you're hearty!" Funky Kong muttered pulling out a pair of bongos. "Ya know I've got a couple of cigars and wine coolers!" Donkey Kong seemed eager to party with his new buddies.

"I think, given the fact that Dr. Kong has been defeated, everything should most likely return to its natural contour." Stuffwell chortled waddling back and forth. "If not I'm sure me and my associates can always return!" However most of the Kongs in the village didn't seem to keen on that idea.

Sonic stared at Funky Kong for awhile before muttering. "Hmm...You know what, dude…You sorta remind me of Samuel L. Jackson for some reason?" Funky Kong's trademarked shades and the bizarre Kango hat he suddenly began wearing just that minute. "Did you copy off of him or something?"

"Hell nah! That chump Sam Jackson is biting my style!" Funky Kong replied lighting up yet another cigarette. "Don't compare me to that hack, man! That not cool, at the least." This was the first time Funky Kong was seen angry by Sonic, Luigi, and Stuffwell.

Cranky Kong decided to change the subject chortling. "Uh...Let's get you boys back home!" Cranky then shuffled over to a large barrel shaped cannon. "I'm pretty sure Diddy Kong has worked out all the bugs, cuz the last time we used this confounded thing a poor Kong careened RIGHT into a cliff."

"Careened into a cliff?!?! Hmm…maybe another path toward the Mushroom Kingdom would be the wiser preference!" Stuffwell muttered pondering a safer route. "Such reckless actions are just plain stupid!" Stuffwell immediately printed out a detailed map of the DK Pass complete with numerous bridges.

Stuffwell then suddenly remembered something. "…Wait, did you say bugs? I pretty handy with computers, perhaps I could be of some assistance."

"…Huh? Computers? Nah, baby, were taking about a whole new level of bugs here, and I don't a scrawny little suitcase like you could handle them." Funky chuckled.

Stuffwell just stared strangely at him. "Huh? Come again?"

"The kinda of bugs I'm talking about are called Rhinobeetles." Funky Kong said, taking a puff from his cigar.

"R-Rhino...Beetles?" Stuffwell muttered.

"Yeah. Little ugly ass muthafuckers, they have a bad habit of biting through the woodware of the cannon and getting inside the interiors." Funky said. "Once inside, they'll start eating around messing up the wiring, which we all know will cause the cannon to malfunction, thus causing a misfire upon lift off."

Luigi then stared at his crutches thinking about his other leg breaking and muttered. "Oh no...I think Stuffwell may have something there. I've had enough ouchies for one day!"

However, Sonic really wanted to try it and complained. "C'mon Luigi let's do this! I've never been shot outta cannon before!" Luigi angrily pointed at his leg reminding Sonic of what his genius ideas accomplish. "Awww...that was just a fluke! I'm sure it'll be better this time dude."

"Actually the cannon is the fastest way off the mountain. If you take the path down, it'll take you days and I thought you were in a hurry!" Cranky Kong muttered leaning against his cane.

Cranky Kong was right Luigi and his friends really needed to get back to Mario, but the B. F. C. seemed just so dangerous. However, a reluctant Stuffwell sighed. "That elder ape is correct. I'm afraid the only way off, quicker, is through the…haphazardness of the cannon. We really don't have time to argue!"

Sonic seemed unusually happy as they all boarded the cannon, but Luigi teeth chattered. "I...I'm sure Mario could wait a couple of days!" For some reason the thought of getting shot of a cannon scared the crap out of Luigi.

Funky Kong loaded the cannon with tons of gun powder and lit the fuse on it. "Aight, DK, use your bongos to release the platform!" Donkey Kong whipped out his bongos banging on them separating the cannon from the mountain.

The cannon misfired sending Luigi, Sonic, and Stuffwell into the sky flying right over the Mushroom Kingdom straight toward what appeared to be a dense jungle. The other thing was heard the shrieking from Luigi. "MAMA-MIAAAAAA!!!!!!"

"Oops…I guess Diddy still needs to work out the springs!" Funky Kong shrugged lighting up another cigarette.

Back at the Mushroom Kingdom

Silver was sailing through the air doing rapid hand movements before locking his fingers together yelling. "I usually refrain from unnecessary fighting, but I must protect the princess! Burning Chaos!" A large blast erupted from Silver's hand targeting Wave the Swallow.

"Oh no, you don't!" Wave cried barely dodging the blast and rolling in the grass where she threw a flat disc-like contraption at Silver the Hedgehog surprising him. "Take this!" Once the disc hit Silver it exploded in his face temporarily blinding him.

While Silver rubbed his burning eyes trying to readjust to the sunlight, Wave the Swallow lunged forward kicking him in the gut. "That was a Flash Disc! I built it just for you Hedgehogs! I may not be a fighter, but I'm a technologic genius!"

Storm swung his arms around wildly destroying a large oak tree in the process, but Mario managed to dodge most of his strikes. "Hehehe...You're-a way to slow!" Mario then whipped out his mallet slamming it over Storm's dome, but the Albatross just stood there unfazed. "What're you made of...Steel?!"

"Harharhar...your little hammer can't hurt me you foolish little plumber!" Storm laughed folding his arms before, clobbering Mario with his fist sending the plumber flying slamming his back hard against a boulder. "Hehehe...are you dead yet?"

Storm was a burly bird capable of destroying tons of the castle without effort. "It'll take a lot more than that to put me down!" Mario cried stand back up dusting dirt off his slacks and he then leapt up in the air slamming his fist in Storm's chin causing coins to pop out everywhere. "Taste my Coin Rush, sucka!"

Mario's meager little punch did little to detour Storm's onslaught and he pummeled the plumber into the ground, he then lifted Mario up and punched him over toward Jet and Shadow's fight. "Humph...stupid little plumber!"

Mario was spiraling helplessly toward Shadow and Jet, with no ways of stopping. "Mama-Mia!!! WAAAAAHHHH!!!!"

Mario was just about to crash into Jet, but he quickly jumped over him, which now made him head toward Shadow. "Waaah!! Shadow, look out!!!" Mario yelped.

However, Shadow wasn't as kind as Jet and decided not to avoid Mario's incoming. "You're in my...WAY!" Shadow snarled, kicking the plumber behind him. "Get back here you chicken! Chaos Torrent!" Shadow yelled, blasting a stream Chaos Energy, as he returned into chasing Jet.

Silver's eyes readjusted and he noticed that Mario was in some serious danger. Storm and Wave were now focusing all of their attention onto a helpless Mario.

"Burning Chaos!" Silver the Hedgehog then cried performing numerous hand formations and blasting both Storm and Wave in there back. "Unlike Shadow over there, I've got your back Mario!"

A grateful Mario flashed Silver a thumbs up chortling. "Hehehe…Thanks buddy! At least I know I can count on you." He then looked over toward Shadow, who still trying desperately to obliterate Jet with Chaos Torrent. "Unlike some peoples we know!!!"

"You're welcome, Mario." Silver grumbled landing on the ground next to the Italian plumber. "It's too bad I didn't bring the Chaos Emeralds with me, I could of went super and those roosters wouldn't last two seconds!"

For some reason in this fic characters need Chaos Emeralds to transform. "Chaos…Emeralds?" Mario pondered. "Why does so…familiar?"
