there was no hope. john johnson's ghost was watching countless cheskers games to be started only for them all to end in both players' arrest. it was 20 year after thd dying by boredom of sonic teh sanic. cheskerboards had become black market commodities. holding a cheskers tournament was a felony. cheskers was dead. and all jj could do was watch as his game was destroyed before his eyes…. meanwhile, the plumber you know as mario, whose real name was jack johnson, was having a successful space soccer career, but was guilt-ridden over selling out his own brother. (his real brother, not luigi, he was merely a business partner) how he longed to play cheskers with him one more time. the ghost who had nearly killed him(shut up, retcon, deal with it) had said he was john, but mario chose not to believe him. he was losing enough of his sanity already. he decided to set up a cheskerboard. perhaps he could use it as a ouiji board. shadoe came over to visit. he was the only sonic character who hadn't gone to the funeral and was shocked that all of the other sonic characters(yes, even sparky the penguin) had died.. "he couldn't possibly have taken my girlfriend," he said on mario's porch. "oh, radz the capybara, my love!" he rang the doorbell. mario was frozen. he frantically tried to hide the cheskerboard. the door was open, so shadow let himself in. he said, "tell me, ma -OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" shadow saw the cheskerboard, and immediately called the police. "hello, police?! shadow here, mario has a cheskerboard! no, it's not like last time!" at the police station, something snapped within mr. jack jeremy johnson(mario) after all the fighting in the mushroom kingdom war, this was the last straw.. he would "avenge" his brother. first he burned down the police station with his fire power. then he grabbed shadow by the neck and threw him but he didn't die because that would be too dark.. then he punched a hole in his own chest and retrieved the valuables he had been keeping in that chest. one of them was a pendant he got from his grandma. it was a lovely shade of pink and had a picture of a my little pony on it. he wore it around his wrist with pride. anyway, since he broke his chest, he needed to go down to the department store to get a new one. obviously, the store didn't let him in because he was wanted for arson and cheskers. he got arrested again. at the police station, something snapped within mr. jack jeremy johnson. it was his neck. shadow was there and he snapped it. mario became less important to the story because shadow is obviously much more cool, duh. shadow was arrested for snapping mario's neck. the author ran out of ideas. the end. Uh, I mean, to be continued! Right. I'll totally pick this back up.
