Welcome back to "The Mage-Lettes of Mario 64". Luna has collected her first 3 stars of her journey. Along the way she met Koopa the Quick, Mario's racing friend. Koopa mentions a rumor that could have Luna and Francelette's rival returning. We also saw Bowser and Francelette for the first time.
LAST TIME
Luna went into a race with Koopa the Quick and won the race, but after the race, Koopa mentioned a rumor that a guy that wants to 'wipe the Mage-Lette from existence'. Luna knew who the Mage-Lette is, her sister Francelette. Knowing that Francelette is in trouble, Luna retuned to Bob-omb Battlefield ready to get another power star.
TODAY
Luna goes to get star number 4 and we see Francelette getting injured by someone she recognizes .
(Luna's turn)
I won't forget what Koopa just told me. A rumor that a guy is attempting to wipe my sister from existence. With that said, I have to be very careful. Our friends are trapped as paintings and my sister is in trouble. I jump back into the painting to get my next power star.
COURSE 1, STAR #3: "Shoot to the Island in the Sky"
Goal: Find a way to reach the island suspended in midair. The star is in a box.
*Luna drops in*
Back into the battlefield we go then. This time, I have to try to reach for an island in the sky. If I remembered correctly from star number 2, there was an island in front of me from the top of the mountain. Could that be where the next star is? As I taught about this, I talked to the pink bob-omb. He also gave me some tips.
"Hello again young lady. Welcome back to the battlefield. " He greets me
"Thanks for welcoming me back. I am wondering about this island in the sky" I tell him
"Yes. There is an island in the sky that can be only be reached by a cannon. " He responds
"How do I activate the cannon?" I ask him
"Good question. All you have to do is find one of us pink bom-ombs to open it for you. Luckily for you, I can open it for you" He tells me
I hear the cannon in front of me opening up. I read from the guidebook that cannons stay open even after you leave the course.
"Ready for take off young lady. There is a cannon across the bridge. Continue straight. Just watch for goombas and black bob-ombs along the way" He warns me as I get ready to go
I head for the bridge ready to go for this star. Heading for the bridge, the goomba tries to bite my right leg, but I played the 'screen and roll' and spun around the poor guy and ran for the cannon. I see a mini hill with the open space. I decided to take a peek and sure enough, it is the cannon. I tried jumping inside, but a bubble bounced and exploded near my legs, causing me to take a hit.
Luna Hit points: 5
That hit was a bit painful, but with no more bubbles to stop me, I go for the cannon. I jumped inside and I am being lifted up into the air. There is an interface inside the cannon where I can select where to go. I pointed the cannon toward the tree. I went a bit higher. Pressing the button on the interface, I was launched to my location.
"Mage-Fly!" I cheered as I flew through the air. I grabbed the tree on the island to stop myself.
I climbed down to see an exclamation mark box . It is yellow. Most of the time, you will get coins. Other times, you will get a 1 up mushroom for an extra life. On some levels, those grant a secret number and if you trigger 5 of those, a power star shows up. On certain levels, these boxes will contain a power star for you to get. I hit the box with my right hand and inside this box was a already grown power star. I touch the star.
The star swirls around my body, legs first, head last, and then I grab the star as soon as it reaches the top of my head.
"We are Mage-Lettes! KINDNESS POWER!" I cheered as I teleported outside of the course.
Name: Luna
Team: Mage-Lettes
Stars collected: 4 (3 course stars, 1 secret)
Star collected: #3: "To the Island in the Sky"
That is already my fourth star. As I celebrated however, I got an urgent message from Koopa the Quick. Looks like trouble.
"To Luna
Something is going on in the battlefield. A strange shadow just showed up and threatened to kill some girl named Jennifer. Its horrible. Please come save Jennifer"
-Koopa the Quick-
Oh shit. Jennifer is in trouble. She is one of Francelette's friends. I jump back into the painting, but little did I know that my sister is in trouble as I speak….
Somewhere in the castle
Francelette has just regained consciousness and has met Bowser, Mario's rival. Bowser tells Francelette she is in danger.
(Bowser's turn)
"Francelette, I know that I accidentally knocked you unconscious, but you are more in danger than I am. I have a bad feeling that a guy named Volt is after you" I tell the Mage-Lette
She covers her mouth in horror. She knows Volt is her rival. I have to help her and whoever this 'Luna' she is referring too.
"We have to …" I heard her say as I saw her fall unconscious again
"FRANCELETTE NOOOOO!" I yelled out
"She shall die in flames!" I heard someone else yell
If this is Volt…..he shall pay. He is crossing into MY territory. Francelette got here by accident. That will be an error charged to me, or should I say E4? The shadow comes closer. I have to protect the unconscious damsel in distress. She does not deserve this. I run in front of her unconscious body to cover her from this shadow.
"(Bowser growl) YOU WONT TOUCH HER!" I yelled out to the shadow
"Oh..so you shall protect her as well? Hmph! Ill show you what happens to those who try to protect those who deserve to die!" I heard the shadow yell
I wonder what is happening here, but as I think about it, a trap door opened and I fell inside. All of a sudden I end up being tied up to some wall. I felt it turn around and I ended up being tied to the wall where my painting is. Man, I could have done this to Mario. This Volt is clever, but he is more evil than I am.
I looked at this shadow and then I see something very concerning, suitcases. These suitcases probably contain all of Francelette's belongings. Clothes, journals, notes, you name it. I then see the shadow open up the suit cases and sure enough, its all of Francelette's belongings. Her skirts, shorts, etc. He is not done as he takes out wood and match sticks. Oh shit! He is about to burn all of Francelette's traces. Im about to try to fight back.
"HEY! WHAT YOU DOING!" I yelled out
"This girl deserves to die and be gone forever!" The shadow yelled
I watch my nightmare come to life. He lights a match and starts to burn Francelette's clothes. I can't just watch this. I just tried to use my flame thrower up in the air to tell this shadow that he just crossed the line. He runs away for the moment, but Francelette's clothes are now being burned away and I won't be able to save them. All of a sudden, I see something beside me saying 'Contact my sister' If what I think is true, this button will allow Francelette to contact her sister. I have a guess that Luna is Francelette's sister. All I have to do is press it to warn her. I just reached it before my hand couldn't reach it anymore…
Bob-omb Battlefield
(Luna's turn)
I am about to attempt to rescue Jennifer, but as I explored the area, I got an alert.
"Hello Luna,
My name is Bowser, Mario's rival. I have some bad news. A shadow just knocked your sister unconscious, but whats worse is that the shadow burned your sister's clothing. I have a bad feeling that something much worse is about to happen. Please see me as soon as you have a chance. Ill open the doors for you"
-Bowser-
Oh shit! First, Jennifer could be killed and now ,my sister is unconscious and her clothes are being burned. My fear of Volt returning is happening now. I have a big gamble to make. I have to decide weather to rescue Jennifer first and face the possibility of my sister's death or rescue my unconscious sister first and risk Jennifer being dead. I hate to say this but someone is about to die and it is my decision who I have to save. Whoever I save, I must confess to about the other who who dies. I just hope some miracle will come….
NEXT TIME
Francelette OR Jennifer? Luna must save one of the damsels in distress and the other one will be dead. Her sister or her friend? Her decision is coming in the critical next chapter .
