Chapter 16:
Reality Glass
...
...
Desert Hill
…
…
Bordered to the south of Grass Land and northwest of Sea Side, Desert Hill is home to some rare enemies, including the Angry Sun and Tweester. What most people don't know, these creatures were originally place within the desert to guard around the underground tomb of which the Reality Glass was place in.
This, however, didn't stop Fawful and the three minions from locating and entering say tomb. Using his thunder hand to light the way, Mr. L took the lead. Behind him was Fawful with Midbus by his side and Shade taking up behind the rear.
Fawful had a digital map of the tomb in front of him. Without it, they would have been helplessly lost within the tomb's maze-like hallways. After much walking, they reach the end of the hallway which turns out to be a dead end. Fawful frowned and look at his map again.
"Fawful is not understanding; map say there should be room ahead; hallway should continue."
"Maybe we did wrong turn?" Midbus suggested.
Mr. L was silent. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. They'll have to search for the doorway themselves. He places a hand on the wall. Perhaps there was a secret passageway somewhere.
"Shade,"
The Shadowpup walked up and stood next to him. "Faze through the walls."
Shade nodded and walked through the wall. Patiently, Mr. L waited for him. When he returns, he nodded to confirm his suspensions. Now that he was sure, Mr. L started searching the walls, much like how he did back at the Shiver Palace. Fawful and Midbus notice what he was doing and walked over to him.
"What is Green Mustache doing?"
"Looking for a panel," Mr. L didn't stopping or looking up from what he was doing. "If there is a passageway like you said, then there must be a secret panel somewhere."
It didn't take him long to find the hidden panel. The wall shifted. Sand and dust flew in the air as the hidden passage way revealed itself. Once the door was lifted, the group continued on in. After several more minutes of walking, they finally found the room they been searching for.
The room was covered in sand and stone. Station on the side walls were dozens of already lit torches. These torches looked like they have been burning there for years and show no sign of burning out.
They walked down the long flight of stone stairs and looked around. Place in the center of the room was a small stone coffin. Fawful walks towards it and look at his device. The item they seek was inside the coffin.
He motion Midbus over. The large pig minion walks over to the coffin and lifts its top clean off. Once the top was gone, a round glass mirror was seen inside.
This mirror was the Reality Glass.
"Aha! The Glass of Reality is ours!" Fawful
"Not so fast!"
Fawful blinked and turn around. Standing by the doorway was Mario with Peach and Daisy by his side. Mr. L narrowed his eyes at the sight of the heroes. Shade started growling and Midbus snorted in annoyance.
"Red Mustache is persistent. Ever after Green beat him, he still keep coming." Fawful
"We're not going to let you take the Reality Glass, Fawful."
Fawful laugh. "Ha ha ha, it is being too late for Mustache to be stopping us. We have two of items already and the Glass of Reality is in our reach."
"Not for long it isn't."
Mario threw a fire ball at Fawful which was canceled out by Mr. L's lightning ball. The green man threw several more at the three which they all dodged. Midbus joined in on the fight. He charges straight at them, causing the heroes to separate three ways. Mario jumped to the bottom of the stairs. Mr. L stepped in, ready for another round.
"Rematch…?" The Green Thunder smirked.
Mario was still pushing to reaching his brother. "Luigi, you don't have to do this. You don't have to take Fawful's orders."
"Who said I was taking Fawful's orders?" Mr. L replies. "The only orders I take are Master Dimentio's… and Master Dimentio's alone."
Before the red plumber could say thing else, the green mechanic came rushing towards him. With Mr. L keeping Mario busy, and Midbus preoccupying the princesses, Fawful turn his attention back on the Reality Glass. He reached inside of the stone coffin and took hold of it. He smiled and held the ancient item with glee.
"Minions, we have what we came for. Now we must take our leave."
Mr. L threw two lightning balls to distance himself from the red hero. He retreated to the stairs where Fawful and Shade were waiting. Mario growled and ran after him.
Suddenly, the whole room started shaking causing everyone to lose their balance. Peach and Daisy hang on to each other as they try to keep themselves steady.
"W-What's going on?" Daisy
"I-I don't know. It felts like an earthquake." Peach
Large amount of sand and stone started falling from the ceiling. A very large lump of it landed in front of Mario and Mr. L. More sand and stone gathered around it as it started to take the form of something big and heavy. Everyone took a step back as the sand and stone took the form of a dragon. It roared,
"I am Drytail; guardian of the Reality Glass. By order of the ones who created me, I must destroy anyone who wishes to take it into their possession. Now, prepare yourself for your end!"
Drytail let out a sand-breath. The two men dodge it. Mr. L used his Super Jump to land in the path of the stairs where the others are waiting. He turns to them,
"I suggest we leave. Let the others deal with the beast."
The others agreed with him and headed straight for the exit. Mario wanted to follow them but first he had to deal with the dragon. With his Firebrand burning bright, he took a fighting stance with both princesses standing by his side.
One way or another, he was going to stop Fawful and Dimentio's plans, and save his little brother.
