Gamer4 in. I have nothing to say, so let's get right to it.

Chapter 10

Bowser and Link

As the five continued down the hall, Mario turned to the warriors. "Now, I know that we've already asked you," he said, "but we really need to know if youknow anything about the intruder Luigi saw."

"Intruder?" said a voice behind them. "What are you talking about?"

They turned to see Bowser behind them. "Who's intruding?" he asked again.

"We don't know," Mario said. "We were asking these two," he gestured to Firestar and Graystripe, "if they knew anything about him. Both Luigi and Zelda saw him last night."

"What do you want, Bowser?" Luigi asked.

"Well," Bowser said, "I need your help on something."

"What is it, Bowser?" Zelda asked.

"Link, well, he's been cursed."

"Again?" Mario asked.

"Yeah, he's acting like Crazy in my room, otherwise I wouldn't care."

"How did he get cursed?" Luigi asked.

"Cursed?" Graystripe asked.

"It means something bad is happening to him," Mario explained.

"I don't know how he got cursed, all I know is he's acting like the Crazy Hand after drinking mountain dew in my room," Bowser said. "I don't know anything about curses, so I need help with it."

"Who's Link?" Firestar asked.

"Another swordsman, like Marth, Meta Knight, and Ike," Zelda said. "He used to fight against Ganondorf, back when Ganondorf used his sword. Now he just taunts people with it. Weird, though. I here he was actually good with a sword."

"Whatever," Bowser said. "Are you going to help me, or not?"

"Yes," Mario said. "Take us to him."

As they went down the hall, Bowser turned back to them. "Now, what's this about an intruder?"

"Luigi and Zelda saw someone who wasn't a smasher in the mansion last night," Mario explained. "He's not here anymore, but we still need to know who he was."

"Well, I wouldn't know anything about that," Bowser said. "I was in my room last night. Didn't see anything. Though, if there was an intruder, I'd like to know who he was too."

"Wouldn't we all," Luigi said.

When they got to Bowser's room, they saw what he'd been talking about. Link was running around in it, hitting the walls and falling on the ground.

"Is this normal for you?" Firestar asked.

"Unfortunately, yes," Luigi said.

"I'll get him," Zelda sighed. She went into the room, and started using some kind of spell.

"Link used to be the one who saved her," Mario commented.

"And you used to be the one who messed my stuff up," Bowser said.

"Does this happen to him often?" Firestar asked, pointing at Link.

"This exactly?" Mario asked. "No, but it's not unusual for him to get cursed, sadly."

On the other side of the room, Zelda finished casting her spell, and Link started to calm down. Looking around, he said, "What's going on?"

"You got cursed... again," Zelda said. "That makes five times this week."

"Well, it could be worse," Link said.

"Not when it's Tuesday, it can't," Zelda said. "How did it happen this time?"

"I can't remember," Link said.

"Great," Bowser said, coming over. "Now get out of my room! Unless you want me to call my minions to force you out!"

"You mean your werewolves?" Mario asked.

"Yes I do!" Bowser shouted, and began shoving them all out.

Once they were out, Link turned to Zelda. "By the way, did that spell work?"

"Kind of," she replied. "The spell itself worked, but it worked on these two instead of Midna." She pointed at Firestar and Graystripe as she said this.

"Who are they?" Link asked.

"You know that book Mario gave me?" Zelda asked. "The one about the cats in the forest?" Link nodded. "Well, they're from that series."

Link looked over at them. "Why are they human?" he asked.

"I honestly don't know," Zelda said.

"We're right here," Graystripe said, sounding a little angry.

"Oh, by the way, Link," Luigi asked, "do you know anything about someone getting into the mansion last night?"

"No," Link said. "I didn't see anybody."

"Hey," Luigi said. "Maybe if I read through the books, I could see if he looks like anyone from the series. I actually saw him, after all, and I might recognize someone."

"Good idea, Luigi," Mario said. "Why don't you look through the ones in our room?"

"I'll see if I can find anything," Luigi said, and turned and left them.

"So, what are you doing with them?" Link asked.

"Showing them the mansion," Zelda said.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Sure," Mario said.

"Where are you taking them next?"

"Not really sure."

"Well, if they're from a book about cats, I wonder what will happen when we show them the racetrack."

"Haven't we heard that before?" Mario asked Zelda, who shrugged.

That's it for this chapter. Please R&R, just no flames. Though, constructive criticism would be fine. Thanks to everyone supporting this story. Gamer4 out.
