Episode 8
The clichéd crossover has begun. It begins with a...
Boss Battle!
Mario: 14/20 HP 0/10 FP
Ultra: 31/40 HP
MGaogamon: 80/80 HP
Mario/Hammer/Hammer Swing/ Mario swings his hamer at the enemy! But 2 is less than 5 so...0 damage!
Ultra/Attack/Hammer Throw/ Ultra throws a lone hammer at MGaogamon! That doesn't have an affect if MGaogamon's defense is 5...
Mario: Aw, come on, this, like, the first Boss Battle!
MGaogamon/ MGaogamon uses Winning Knuckle on Mario! Ow, 10 damage!
Mario: 4/20 HP! 0/10 FP
Ultra: 31/40 HP
End Battle Sequence
Spiky Joe: I don't feel very confident now...
Mario: I feel light-headed...
??: You can't handle anything, can ya?
Ultra: You hear something?
Just then, a Falco clone using the yellow Falco outfit jumps at the MGaogamon, does a whole bunch of fancy aerial moves, and defeats the MGaogamon with ease. When he lands, he crosses his arms all c00l like, leaving Spiky Joe and Ultra in awe. Mario's light-headed from lack of HP.
Spiky Joe: (amazed) That was awesome...Are you the Fonz?
Ultra: Hey, I think that's the Anthro Bird Mario talked and, uh, sang about...
Spiky Joe: Hey, yeah! Mustache, is that the Anthro Bird who, um...saved his homeland by going in enemy lines?
Mario: Habda Puduptle...
Spiky Joe: ...Oh, right, he's Danger Mario...
Spiky Joe/Item/Chocolate Pig/ Spiky Joe gives Mario a Chocolate Pig! Mario's health is restored!
Mario: Ya got any music?
Spiky Joe: Now's not the time to groove, Mustache, I think Anthro Bird saved us.
Mario: Huh? Oh, hey...Wah! It's you! You helped me defeat the evil clones! And you gave me cake right before the Star Festival! Too bad Bowser messed the festival all up... So, Anthro Bird, how've you been?
Anthro Bird grits his beak...He doesn't like being called "Anthro Bird" it seems...
Anthro Bird: (calm) ...Haven't you figured out my name?
Mario: Is it...Yelco? The evil clones talked about a Yelco...And you're wearing yellow...And you're a Falco clone...
Yelco?: That's my...old name...It's Xion Inferno.
Mario: Sorry, that's taken...That's a YouTuber's screen name.
Xion?: R-Really? ...And it took me forever to come up with that... I'm not changing it again, my name's Xion Inferno, and that's that.
Mario: Xion Inferno That's That? Pretty long name...
Xion facepalms... (CT)
Mario: Hey, are you joining our adventure?
Xion: Maybe...I'll keep an eye on you...In case you get yourself into trouble again...
Xion jumps into the air and disappears...
Ultra: ...This adventure's getting pretty weird...
Mario: Audi fadam illius...
Spiky Joe: ???
Mario: Let's go see Russ, we're one piece away from a magic GBA! Rhyme!
Mario and co. run off to Russ's house.
Mario and party now enter Russ's house to see a pile of books covering something...
Mario: Hey, there, book pile!
A pair of eyes appear beneath the books...
Eyes? : Well? Is it safe to come out?
Mario: Yes, all clear...
Russ comes out of the book pile.
Mario: Wh-What?! Y-You're...
Russ: OK, we can stop the Perfect Dark quotes...
Mario: Aw, it actually could've worked out here...
Russ: So, the Boos are gone right?
Mario: Mm hm!
Russ: Oh, good. They really- Mario, you know you can speak here...
Mario: Uh huh!
Russ: Really, knock it off, talk normally... I know this is acted out as a Paper Mario game, but in the fic version, you talk normally...
Mario: Bleah, fine! Where's the next GBA Piece at?
Russ: Hm...The map showed a floating...thing with a Chain Chomp...
Mario: You mean the Glitz Pit?
Russ: Yes, that seems to be the place!
Spiky Joe: !
Ultra: Hm? Hey, Spiky, there something wrong?
Spiky Joe: Uh, uh, uh...C-Can I-s-sit this one...out, p-please?
Mario: No, I have to deal with this adventure, so you do too!
Russ: Tell us what's wrong, Spiky Joe...
Spiky Joe: *gulp* I...got kicked out...If they see me...I'll go to jail!
Mario: Jail exists in Mario games? Er... What could you have done to get kicked out? Eavesdropping? Going in restricted rooms? Destroying walls? I did all that stuff and I didn't get kicked out!
Spiky Joe: I uhm...accidentally Spike Bombed...Miss Jolene...
Mario, Russ, and Ultra: ..............Why....?
Spiky Joe: It was an accident, I swear!
Mario: We're not allowed to swear...
Ultra: PTool did...a lot...That was a big risk for this fic...
Spiky Joe: ...I was thinking about...a dream I had...Then I felt someone touch my tail, and I...
Mario: This boring, give us the quick version! We're only allowed 10,000 characters!
Russ: Mario, that's not helping...
Spiky Joe: No, he's right, I'm dragging this thing...
Mario: And besides...I got a smrt plan. ;)
Russ: You misspelled smart...
Mario: I meant to! ...C'mon, let's go to the port place, I have a smrt plan...
Mario, Spiky Joe, and Ultra head off to the port so they can get on a boat. It cost them 255 coins, but Mario had a lot of coins from the badges he sold off air. That boat took them to Rogueport, where the Cheep Blimp was. But, Mario needs a ticket for the Cheep Blimp...Another trip to the Pianta Syndicate Boss! Next time...
