Mario & Sonic II:

World Heroes

Chapter Sixteen

The Fall of the

Red Rebel?

Without knowing where they had landed Sonic, Stuffwell, and Luigi ended up in a snow bank located far east of the Mushroom Kingdom. "Grr...Sonic!!!" Luigi growled with his lip curled back showing his anger shivering from the cold. "This is all your fault Sonic we should of just climbed down the mountain!"

"Alright I'm sorry Luigi! Is that what you want to hear?" Sonic cried rubbing his hands together trying to prevent hypothermia. "Geez it's colder here than at DK Pass!"

To avoid a further conflict Stuffwell scanned the entire area and he admired the large buildings that resembled Russian architect. "We can't stay our here for much longer gentlemen! I'm afraid we'll freeze to death! I'm sure they'll let us spend the night if we asked politely!"

Luigi, Stuffwell, and Sonic then traveled across the long snow ridden trail until they made it up to the city. Luigi could make out a sign in the distance and muttered. "Fahr Outpost?! Why does that sound so familiar?"

"Who cares at least its a place to crash for the night! We could probably get some directions, too?" Sonic grumbled stretched out his frost covered legs. "Maybe they sell Chili Dogs in that city! One with extra chili that'll warm up these legs!"

A large colony of Bob-Ombs walked back and forth seemingly guarding the city. "Halt! BOMB where are you going? This place is off limits BOMB!" the little Bob-Omb cried lighting up its tiny fuse threaten our heroes. "I bet you're trying to steal our cannon BOMB!"

"Why do you keep saying that?" Sonic asked scratching his head. "Its a little annoying."

The Bob-Omb then looked at Sonic with a twinge of curiosity muttering. "Keep saying what BOMB?"

"That?" Sonic replied covering his ears. "Why do you say bomb in ever sentence?"

"I have no clue what you're talking about BOMB! My speech is perfect BOMB!" the little Bob-Omb yelled as his fuse slowly began to burn. "I Rob-Omb is the cream of the Bob-Omb crop!"

Luigi immediately pushed Sonic to the side crying. "Whoa calm down! My friend didn't mean to insult you he's an idiot! We're lost and could use a place to stay for the night!" Luigi's words caused Rob-Omb to put out his fuse and remain calm. "I have coins to pay for an inn."

Hearing that Luigi had money enthused, Rob-Omb and he then dragged them toward a large inn covered in snow. "Welcome to the Cozy Bomb Inn my friends! My wife Bombette will help you get a cozy room BOMB!"

Meanwhile inside the Mushroom Kingdom's courtyard, Shadow had just cornered Jet the Hawk between two bushes. "Give it up you loser! I'm about to end your miserable existence!" Shadow growled charging up a massive blast in his palms.

"W...wait! Shadow can't we discuss this buddy!" Jet the Hawk muttered pleading for his life.

Just then Silver, who had just finished off Wave the Swallow, noticed a large shadow looming overhead and he saw what appeared to be a gigantic Banzai Bill was bearing down toward them about to cause massive damage. "What the heck is that?"

Before Mario, Shadow, or Silver could react the Banzai Bill crashed into the ground setting off a huge explosion. After the dust cleared our heroes were unconscious and Jet the Hawk looked over Princess Peach sighing. "Man is our Master trying to kill us or something?!"

Storm shrugged at his friend as he leaned down tossing Princess Peach over his shoulders preparing to leave the Mushroom Courtyard. "Nooooo...Mario help me!" Peach screamed at the top of her lungs clawing at Storm's back.

"Princess..." Mario grumbled losing consciousness.

Back at the hotel Sonic, Luigi, and Stuffwell argued about who was in charge of the mission. "You've already had your shot Sonic! You did a pretty lousy job at handling Doctor Kong!" Stuffwell interjected. "But I must say I should be leader I mean my plans did ensure our survival!"

"No way you can't even fight!" Luigi replied complaining. "I think I should be in charge...I am a Mario Brother of course!" However the rest of the group didn't seem to agree with Luigi's statement, Luigi was more assertive. "I don't care what you noobs think I'm in charge!"

As Luigi strutted out of the hotel Stuffwell over looked at Sonic muttering. "Noobs?"

The television in the corner suddenly turned on and a Toad wearing a tacky toupee came on the screen muttering. "This is Breaking News it seems that the Owl Army has captured the Red Rebel taking him back to General Guy for punishment!"

"What's the Owl Army?" Sonic asked turning around looking for Rob-Omb. "Huh? Where did he go?"

However Rob-Omb was long gone and a large bead of sweat dropped from Stuffwell. "I have a nagging feeling that this isn't gonna be an easy trip."

Just as Stuffwell spoke a bunch of X-Nauts burst through the windows holding ropes. "Uh...look at those owls!" Sonic screeched.

"Those aren't owls! These creatures are X-Nauts a semi-intelligent alien life form!" Stuffwell muttered scanning them.

"Dude, did that suitcase just...speak..." One of the X-Naut muttered to his friend next beside him.

"Yeah, dude...I think so." The other X-Naut replied. "And even more importantly, did he just call us...semi-intelligent alien life form?

"If my memory banks are correct, I do believe that Master Mario defeated them when their leader tried resurrecting back an evil witch using Princess Peach's body."

"Pfft...Dude, that was, like, totally all Sir Grodius' lame two-bit, so-called foolproof plan. He is like totally yesterday's news, brah!" chuckled X-Dude folding his arms in an X-pattern. "We're in the big leagues now dude! Trust me when I said our new leader is ten times more big, bad and mean than that weenie. Buhuhuhuhuh."

Sonic looked all around, but Luigi didn't come running into the room screaming like a baby which was his usual pattern. "Uh...Where's Luigi?"

"Hehehe...My boy Crump is smashing that chump, as we speak! He has a bad habit of doing that." X-Dude chortled, much to the chagrin of Sonic and Stuffwell.

"Dude, that so wasn't funny..." Sonic groaned. X-Dude then started laughing annoyingly. "Hey dude, what's your issue?"

"It's just...I can't believe you don't feel it." Sonic and Stuffwell just stood there with a puzzled expression on their faces. "

"Dudes, I think it's about that time..." X-Dude muttered, slowly looking at his non-existent watch. "I think that it's about that time to shine, cuz ya know, I'm just that fine!!" he then went into a B-Boy stance.

"Dude! And you say my lingo is Widgety, Widgety Whack!" Sonic muttered rolling his eyes at X-Dude. "I can't believe that garbage spewing outta his mouth..."

Stuffwell then chuckled. "...Widgety Whack? Nope you're still the king, Sonic." he muttered. "Trust me, when I say your lingo is outdated as always"

Ignoring what Stuffwell just said, Sonic got in his fighter stance. "Well, you know how I am; I'm always ready to throw down, baby!" Sonic laughed, taunting the X-Dude.

X-Dude got into battle pose, but the sighed. "Actually, my orders were just to bring you guys to the base." After hearing that Sonic and Stuffwell did one of those cliché anime falling on your face things. (T_T) Yeah, I know...

Meanwhile deep inside a prison on top of the frigid Mount Fahr, a bunch of X-Nauts had already captured the Red Rebel which was just Knuckles, the red echidna, that had been snooping around their base and was captured by the X-Nauts.

"I know you bug-eyes owls stole it!" Knuckles yelled, getting tossed inside a steel prison. "I know you stole it! Now give back the Master Emerald!"

"Dude, we've haven't a clue on what you're talking about?" stated one of the X-Nauts, scratching his forehead.

Knuckles then looked up waving his fists in their owl-like faces yelling. "Dammit! Don't lie to me. I can sense it in my toes you stupid, numbskull bastards!"

"Uh...before you blame us for stealing your emerald maybe you should consider some of the people you hang out with, especially a blue porcupine!" General Guy muttered walking up wearing a cracked mask that was damaged after that stunt he pull in Holli Jolli Village (From Chaos Control).

"Porcupine?! What Porcupin...Oh, you must mean Sonic?" Knuckles muttered. "WAIT?! What does this have to do with him?" Knuckles yelled, demanding his answer. "Besides, I know it was you and these owls! Only birds could reach Angel Island without having an airplane."

"I don't know if you've already noticed this yet, but that pesky little rodent is here too! I bet he's looking for where he stashed your emerald." General Guy muttered playing mind games. "Think about it my friend, why else would anyone want to come to a desolate place like this, without some kinda secret to hide."

"Y...you're right! There's no other explanation! Knuckles replied. "Sonic has been acting unusually peppy lately More peppy than usually acts!" Knuckles muttered.

"Wait, you do know that what you just said basically mean same thing…" General Guy muttered to a deluded Knuckles.

"That bastard has my emerald!" Knuckles yelled at the top of his lounges. "After I'm finish dealing with Sonic, he'll wish that he was never born. Not even a shadow of his form self will be able recognize him!"

"Hehehehehehe...I just maybe able to assist you." General Guy laughed maniacally stepping back into the shadows with his eyes glowing eerily. "He might be a walking, talking bumbling imbecile, but I think I'll be able to use him for my revenge for the time being." he chortled, now chortling like Squidward.

Back at the castle Mario finally regained consciousness and noticed Silver lying face down in the dirt while Shadow laid motionless in a tree. "Uhh…Hmm…Guys? A-Are you okay?" Mario asked running up to the tree trying to help Shadow down.

"Urhnn...What happened?" Silver muttered standing up slowly.

Mario panicking then began running around in circles yelling his head off. "The princess has been kidnapped by those birds! We've got to go get her, I bet you dollars to donuts that Bowser was behind this!"

But both Silver and Shadow weren't sure the Babylon Rogues were from their dimension and Bowser didn't seem smart enough for a team up. "Are you sure Mario? I mean Bowser isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer you actually think he could plan this!"

"It's has to be him, he's the only person I know who's that obsessed and infatuated enough pull some like that off." Mario growled, balding up hid fist. "He'll rule the day he cross path with me; Super Mario."

Silver and Shadow just stood there staring at Mario as he started laughing all creepily. "Uhh, are you okay, Mario?" Silver said nervously.

"Ah, let the idiot have his moment." Shadow huffed, crossing his arms. "I'm pretty sure that he'll tire himself out soon."
