Super Mario Galaxy 2

Chapter 8

Enter the Turtle

We landed back on the ship with another Power Star at hand as Luigi started walking away.

"Hey bro, I'm going to take a nap, when I wake up, we can go on another galaxy soon." I waved at him as I turned back and decided to continue on with the adventure by myself. Who knows when Luigi will return but I do know is that he is a good brother to me.

A while later, I was soaring towards another new galaxy and I saw a bunch of birds. As I got closer to it, it started talking to me.

"Want to race?" It kept asking me. I grabbed on to it's legs to try to calm it down but it soared in the sky and I guess I was gliding in the skies. It felt a bit weird flying so high from the ground. If I let go now, then I'm gone. I soared in the sky and flew on all different directions, grabbing a few coins along the way and a 1-up mushroom and put it in my back pocket. You never know what will happen in the future.

I went into a giant gold ring and I fell right into the platform and tumbled. I felt a little dizzy but when the bird decided to give me a Power Star, I felt less dizzy. I grabbed the Power Star and I knew that things were going to get crazy. Just as soon as I landed, Lubba was talking to me like crazy.

"Mario, I just got word that Bowser's castle is nearby. I think we have enough Power Stars to enter the castle!" He said to me as I grabbed ahold of the steering wheel and spun around like a mad goomba. I pushed forward until I saw his castle. This was the chance I was waiting for. I needed to take this chance right here and now before Bowser does any more harm. I jumped off the ship and soared towards the castle.

I landed with a thud as I looked around my surroundings. This place was indeed dangerous but I've been in this place many times in the past and I think I can handle this stuff again. I took a few steps forward and realized one thing. This castle was going to be a bit more challenging this time around. Bowser has decided to add a few tricks this time around that's a bit more different from our last encounter. Regardless of what this is, I ran forward, praying for the best.

A/N: Sorry for the short chapter but I'm getting ready to set the next chapter up and it's going to be a long one. I would like to thank everyone who has been reading these series since three years ago. Make sure to be prepared for the next one peeps!
