Faraday Fan: Heh heh... Well, there's more to Tails' power than that. All in due time. Dimentio's his name... No, they don't control the Shroobs.

TatlTails: Thanks. Yeah, it's Wally and the D-Jester. Eh, making fun of myself... Well, you can get a lot of humor from making fun of your own flaws.

Adventures of Mario & Sonic: Peach's Adventure

Teenage Mutant- Sorry, the Koopa Bros.

Peach and Amy crashed down into the cold wasteland. It hurt, to say the least - It was so insanely cold that there was no snow.

"H-hey," Amy shivered, pointing to a stone building a few hundred yards away, "I-is that o-one of B-bowser's forts?"

"Y-yes," Peach said, "L-let's g-go."

The two ran through the frozen landscape, arriving at the fort within a few seconds. They quickly went through the door, coming into a large stone room that seemed like it probably took up the whole fortress.

"Ahhh," Amy sighed, "This is so much nicer..."

"Well, don't get used to it, girly!" A voice from the shadows in the roof shouted.

"Who's that?" Amy asked, looking around, panicked.

Peach groaned, "Not these jokers..."

Four Koopas wearing bandana-masks and with shells color-coded for convenience dropped from the ceiling. One had a red shell and mask, another had green, another had yellow, and one had black.

"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" Amy asked.

"NO!" Red shouted.

"No, really, I think I saw you on a TV Show... I think you're named after famous artists or something..."

"NO WE AREN'T!" Red yelled.

"And we're not shallow parodies either!" Green added.

"SHUT UP GREEN!" All of his brothers reprimanded him.

"Geez..."

"Now that that's through with... Let's get ready to... BATTLE!"

Curtains dropped from the ceiling, covering the room.

BATTLE START!

When the curtains pulled up, a wooden stage which the combatants were standing on was revealed. The audience cheered.

"What the heck?" Amy exclaimed, looking around.

"HA HA!" Red yelled, "Now you see my plan! We will force you to fight in... A TURN-BASED BATTLE!"

Princess Peach: HP: 10/10 / POW: 1 / DEF: 1 / FP: 10/10 / SP: 1

Amy Rose: HP: 5/5 / POW: 3 / DEF: 0 / FP: 5/5

Ninjakoopa: HP: 5/5 / POW: 1 / DEF: 1 (Each)

Princess Peach's Turn

Peach selected the jump commanded, and jumped on the Red Ninjakoopa in back, dropping his defense to 0.

Amy Rose's Turn

Amy slammed her hammer down on Green, reducing his HP to 3.

Koopa Bros' Turn

Each of the three remaining Koopa Bros curled up into their shells and slammed into both Peach and Amy. They couldn't pierce Peach's defense, but each dealt 1 Heart Point of damage to Amy, reducing her HP to 2. Red got up, and issued an order to the other three.

Princess Peach's Turn

Peach reviewed her options. She could jump, use Perry, use an item (Amy might need healing), or use a Special Move. She selected the special move, and found that the only ones she had availible were Focus (builds star power) and Refresh (restores HP and FP... Yeah, that's the one to use, she thought). She used Refresh, dropping her SP to 0 but restoring 5 HP and FP to each of them.

Amy Rose's Turn

Amy had an idea, and began charging up for a spin-dash. Unfortunately for her, that cost her the use of her turn.

Koopa Bros' Turn

In succession, each Koopa Bro jumped on another: Green on bottom; then Yellow, then Black, and Red on top. "Time to show you our special move!" Red exclaimed, as all four retreated into their shells. They started spinning faster and faster, before shooting off towards Peach and Amy. Peach took 3 damage, reducing her HP to 7. Amy took 4 damage, which dropped her down to just one Heart Point.

Princess Peach's Turn

"Amy!" Peach screamed, "Hold on..." She took out a mushroom, and used it on Amy to restore her HP to 5.

Amy Rose's Turn

Amy released her spindash, which allowed her to do 2 damage to each Ninjakoopa, and flip them all over to drop their defenses to 0. This left Green with 1 HP and the rest with 3.

Koopa Bros' Turn

All four Koopa Bros tried and failed to get up.

Princess Peach's Turn

Peach jumped on the Green Ninjakoopa, dropping his HP to 0 for a KO.

Amy Rose's Turn

Amy jumped up and Homing-Attacked each of the Koopa Bros in quick succession, dropping all of their HP to 0 and using up all of her Flower Points. The audience cheered again, refilling Peach's SP.

BATTLE WON!

"... No! How could you beat us?" Red asked, aghast.

"... That was a really stupid fight," Amy voiced her opinion, "Why did you think that would work?"

"Because... Because... Aw, shoot, let's just get out of here, guys." Red pulled out a red potion in a beaker and threw it at the wall, creating a red door. The Ninjakoopas dashed through.

Amy and Peach waited for a few minutes, but the door didn't disappear.

"... I think we're supposed to go through," Perry said.

"Oh... Right!" Peach and Amy ran through the door, coming out into a bare, dimly-lit room... With a blue key in the center. Peach held the key over her head.

DA NA NA NAAH!

You got the SPACE KEY!

Now you can unlock one of the locks on Mario's door!

"... What was that?" Amy asked.

"Dunno," Peach said. Suddenly, the world went white, and the two were suddenly outside the dungeon standing next to Russ T.

"... I'll assume it went well."

"You bet!" Amy exclaimed, "Now, let's go unlock that door!"

With that, the unlikely heroes set off for Mario's house.
