CHAPTER 2

"A PLUMBER AND A WITCH"

Mario felt himself continue to fall and when he awoke he looked up to see a giant butt and he gasped. He rubbed his eyes and took a better look. Sitting on a flying broom, had to be the fattest woman Mario had ever seen. She was wearing a black dress, a black pointy hat and a purple stripped scarf. Then Mario saw what she had on the back on her broom, perched on the broom was a Sonic trophy. Mario thought back to how Sonic helped him and the others stopped Tabuu's rain a few years ago. He hadn't seen him a while, but regardless he was a friend.

"Where do you think you're going with that?" Mario yelled up to the fat women.

"I'm taking him away."

"To a beautiful bay."

"To a place where you."

"Will never get to."

"Oh great, she speaks in rhyme." Mario sighed, holding his head.

"Who are you?" he called up.

"Alright, alright I'll play your game."

"I go by one very beautiful name."

"Born as an infant, in the late Autumn."

"I go by the name of Gruntilda Wikybottom."

"Well okay, Wikybottom I want you to give me my friend back." Mario said.

"Oh the mustached man, all alone."

"Thinks he can take back the blue one, Grunty caught on her own?"

"Uh yeah." Mario said.

Gruntilda snickered and went to blast off. Mario pulled F.L.O.O.D in his condescend form out of his pocket. He expanded and latched onto Mario's back. Using F.L.O.O.D Mario landed on Gruntilda's broom and grabbed Sonic. He revived the blue hedgehog and helped him stand up.

"Thanks Mario, I owe you won." Sonic smiled.

"It's no big deal, but let's catch the fat rhymer before she gets away." Mario said.

Sonic offered Mario his hand and placed Mario on his back. The two rush off in a burst of speed and as they catched up to Gruntilda, she opened a portal and disappeared. The two stop and look disappointed and suddenly Sonic picks up a piece of paper. The paper says :DIRECTIONS TO CAULDRON KEEP. (GRUNTY'S LAIR, IN CASE I GET LOST)

"Wow, is she really that stupid?" Mario chuckled.

"Apparently or it's a trap." Sonic said.

"Either way, we should probably go. I want her to pay and if she's in league with Ganondorf we need to speak with her." Mario said.

"Huh?" Sonic asked.

Mario went on to explain how he ended up on Angel Island.

"So, what happened with you?" Mario asked.

"Well………….."

*BEGIN FLASHBACK*

Sonic is running around Angel Island when he hears a crash. He speeds up to find Amy and Tails in trouble. He stands in front of them to challenge the fattest woman, he has ever seen.

"Leave them alone!" he yells.

"Amy, Tails, go now!" Sonic tells them.

Sonic fights the women for a long time, but she seems to use her powers to make his speed slow down. Tired and out of energy, Sonic turns into a trophy

*END FLASHBACK*

"And that's what happened." Sonic said, hanging his head.

"Did Amy and Tails get away?" Mario asked.

"I don't know." Sonic sighed.

"Well then, we'll find out. We'll go and search for them. I have to search for Peach and the others any way and we may find answer to this whole thing." Mario said.

"I guess you're right." Sonic said, trying to smile.

"We'll set up camp here for the night and then we'll start our journey to Cauldron Keep. Sound good?" the overjoyed plumber, asked his blue friend.

"Yeah." Sonic smiled.

"This place is so relaxing." Mario sighed leaning against a tree, causing something to drop and hit Mario on the head.

Sonic looked at the R.O.B trophy and revived the robot.

"MARIO-SONIC-HOW-DID-I-END-UP-HERE?" THE ROBOT ASKED THEM.

"We have no idea, sorry buddy." Mario sighed.

"But at least we're together." Sonic sighed.

The three friends relaxed as the sun set on Angel island. Sonic and Mario drifted off to sleep and R.O.B took the first watch, since he didn't need to power down being since he was a trophy for a while.

~ There's chapter 2, I decided throwing in Gruntilda would be fun. Of course doing her rhymes are gonna be a pain in my ass. Oh well, I guess I'll rhyme to the best of my ability LOL
