In the 7 years, while I'm waiting for Hell,

Which the future events can truly tell,

I'll live it up now, in the present time,

Because I don't want to be there when funeral bells chime.

If I'm the one to die, in 7 years,

I should tell you I love you, with a whisper in your ears.

If you're the one to die, ground to the depths of nothin,

Your remains buried deep, deep inside a coffin,

Then I will stop that now,

Regarding I know how.

In seven years.

"But how do you kill a Koopa?" Luigi asked once they had made it to the library. "I don't think anyone has ever done it for good."

"I know one person who has," Mario responded, pulling Mushroom Kingdom History out of its shelf and plopping it onto the table. "Papaya Toadstool."

"The guy that was with you back in 1881?"

"That's the one." He flipped through pages of different Mushkeys, until he came to Papaya's picture. Opposite his picture was Annabella's. "Go check some more books, Luigi." He skimmed through the paragraph.

When Annabella Mushkey, the last Mushkey to be in power came to her untimely demise, the Mushroomians of the late 1800s elected Papaya Toadstool to be their leader, due to the fact that he killed the murderer of their previous ruler.

Papaya came from a larger family, with four other siblings. His father died when the coal mine he worked in collapsed.

A little known fact was that Toadstool was in love with Annabella Mushkey.

Papaya Toadstool died in 1939 of heart failure at age 56.

"Any luck?" Luigi asked from behind a copy of The Toadstool Family Heritage.

"Nope," he said back. "Anything in that book?"

"No," he responded. He picked up another book. "We have to keep looking."

A few hours later, they had still found nothing.

"This is getting confusing," Luigi announced after what seemed like the hundredth book. "We can't spend a few years sitting in this library waiting for attack! We have to act now!"

"But we're forgetting the little detail that we don't know how," Mario explained, talking more to himself than his brother. "Maybe if we just think about this... We always go for the head, and he gets knocked out. So it can't be his head..."

"He does wear a shell," Luigi pointed out. "Is that a precaution, maybe?"

They were quiet for a few moments, when suddenly, they both snapped their fingers and yelled, "That's it!"

"Gosh, it's so obvious now!" Luigi said, hitting himself in the head slightly.

"We don't have any time to lose," Mario responded, standing. "Let's go."

Peach walked slowly to her favorite balcony, the same one, she had heard, that Annabella Mushkey had taken a liking to. A large expanse of feild streatched into the distance, and before her was a spectacular veiw of Shooting Star Summit, its famous stars glistening in the moonlight.

Their enemy castle stood proudly only a few miles away from that beautiful point, giving off a forlorn message. Something on the ground caught her eye. A bonfire. Koopa Kingdom flags. Screaming citizens and soldiers. A large royal koopa standing at a podium, shaking his immense fist in the air.

The ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom closed her eyes and turned her head. When she opened them, Toadsworth has appeared, looking up at her with innocent eyes. She looked back to the horizon.

"The time's come, hasn't it?"

She didn't asnwer, just kept her gaze at the terrible sight.

"How will we stop this?" Toadsworth asked gravely.

Peach's hands shook where she gripped the railing. "I don't know."

"Attention Koopa citizens! We have been mistreated! Wronged!" Bowser Koopa screamed at his minions and underlings, pounding a claw on the podium at which he stood. "The Mushroom Kingdom has always got the better end of the stick! They have taken out pride too many times!"

The crowd waved their flags and torches, cheering and screaming along with their ruler.

"They have taken what was rightfully ours! They have slung mud of the very Koopa name! Do you want a world where people like them walk all over people like us?!" He pounded on the flat surface of the table.

"No!" a million voices shouted.

"We will take back what belongs to us! We will do whatever it takes to win! And we will kill those who stand in our way!"

This was met with screams and yells, and the lighting of a huge bonfire that was made to look like exactly the Mario Brothers and the princess.

"The Mushroom Kingdom will rue the day they crossed us!"

Well, I have been gone long enough. I'll hopefully be getting back to regular updates soon.

kthnksby.
