Chapter 5: Magikoopa attacks
For awhile, everybody was enjoying themselves. Luigi and Mario were sipping Mushroom MaMas and took the floor with "Funiculi, Funicula" blasting through the halls. Nick and Wendy broke from the party awhile ago to head up to the South Tower for a little time alone. They were kissing for quite awhile when Nick finally said, "Look at all this, Wendy. All of this world, nobody but us knows is real. And it's all my responsibility to protect it." "Sounds Stressful." Wendy said.
-"You know, not really. When you get to take your stress and anger out on your enemies, it really helps you relax."
-"Who are your enemies?"
-"Bowser, Wario, WaLuigi, basically any enemy of Mario and Luigi is an enemy of mine."
-"Do you have any powers like they do, like spitting fireballs."
-Nick almost laughed. "Well, first off, they don't do that like the video game percieves them. I told Mario and Luigi that and they were perplexed. They didn't know how they could be depicted as doing that. No, they can bend elements though: Earth, Air, Water, Fire, even the Jedi Arts. I can too."
-"There are Jedis here too?"
-"Yep. Crazy huh?
-"I'll say. Can you show me some moves?"
-"Sure".
Nick took a deep breath and like he was delivering punches, he shot flames from the tips of his fists. He then took another breath and arm over arm, untwirling and exhaling, he created a wind that made Wendy's hair flow in it's after breeze. She giggled. "Wow! Is it possible for me to learn or do any of this?" she asked. "Yeah, but it depends on your overall personality and characteristics." Nick preached. "If you're a naturally angry person who is very hot tempered, you can bend fire. If you're a person who is very peaceful, a thinker, or have a high level of cosmic energy, you can minipulate air. If you're a very earthy person, but you have some level of a temper, you can bend earth. If you are a very well mannered, level headed and bubbly person, you can bend water. And, if you have a little bit of everything but your mind is clear and your body pure, you can be a Jedi." "So, I guess I can bend water or something according to my personality?" Wendy said, half puzzled.
-"For your personality, yes, but you can also be a Jedi for your mind is clear and your body pure." -"It's pure for now." Wendy was smiling semi-seductively after she said this.
-"Not that kind of pure, cochina!" He bended some water from the bird bath in the courtyard below and lapped it on the ground beneath their feet. "The trick is to feel the energy flow through you. Be the water. You want to be controlled and lapped back to the ground." While he spoke, Nick conducted a demonstration. "Now you try."
-Wendy closed her eyes and tried to be "at one with the water." She did feel a sense of energy flow through her, she wanted to be controlled and like she was instructed, she too was controlling or rather "bending" the water. She lapped it back on the ground and looked at Nick. "Wasn't that great, baby? I really did it." she said.
But Nick was watching a great fiery beam of light in the distance. "What is that?" Wendy asked. "It's not good, whatever it is!" Nick said concerned. He grabbed Wendy and scampered down the tower, back to the Entrance Hall. When he got there, he gathered his enough breath to speak. "Everyone remain calm, but there is a potential danger to us and this world coming from the southeast." "Whaddya mean Neekeebocker?" Mario said drunkenly. "Mario, I think we might have a crises on our hands." Nick replied. "A pisces! Bring him in, he won't hurt nobody" Mario shouted. "Oh brother!" Nick said, rolling his eyes. He could realize that Mario was too drunk and Luigi was passed out so neither would be any help; he was on his own.
Not long after that minions of Koopa witches and wizards were surrounding the palace. The guards shot at them but they shots were deflected by the magic of the kooplings. They turned their magic on to the partygoers turning them into the creature or person they were dressed as. People who were dressed as vampires, ghosts and goblins were turned into REAL vampires, ghosts and goblins. Nick took a breath and blasted a stream of fire at one of the magic Koopas. He took a deeper breath and flug his arms around and untwirled and exhaled releasing a gust of air that flung the Kooplings out and away from the Palace. With a few more fire blasts, the Kooplings retreated. But now, there were ghosts and goblinsand all sorts of creatures roaming what was the Halloween Party. "Mario, Luigi, I gotta take care of this." Nick said. "Take care of everything and try and get it in order. I'll be back as quick as I can." "Right!" they said stumbling and falling over. "Wendy, you're with me." Nick said. "I can't do this on my own." "Of course." she replied. They ran out to the stables. "This is Flash, my personal horse. He can travel at nearly sixty miles an hour." Nick boasted. "He'll get us to the source of that light in a few hours. Get on." Wendy obeyed and Nick hopped up in front of her. "Yah!" Nick exclaimed, signaling Flash to gallop. They took off like lightning, riding off into the night.
