Author's Note: A boring and not so fun chapter. :/

Super Mario Sunshine Adventure

Episode 6: The Secret of the Dirty Lake

"I thought we had all this cleaned up, and now this!" the blue Pianta from before whined and complained, waving his massive hands about crazily. He sounded very outraged, annoyed, and just plain irked. "What in the world is going on in this village?!"

Sonic turned away from the blue Pianta to look at his red-capped comrade that he was currently on an adventure with. "Oh boy…" Sonic yawped, hands on his hips. "It looks like something else has happened to Bianco Hills!"

"Geez Louise!" Mario threw up his hands. "What's next?! Is a hurricane going to blow over?"

"I seriously have no clue, Mario. It all started with us chasing that imposter into Bianco Hills, but now we're here solving mysteries and cleaning up his messes!" Sonic was pretty much fed up with what was going on around here. "This is way past un-cool!"

Mario totally agreed with him as he moved along, letting Sonic follow him. Along the way, Mario found two Blue Coins. He and Sonic investigated the area and came across a Pianta woman walking around who was wearing glasses.

"You're late for your throwing appointment!" the Pianta woman hollered out in a choleric manner, bounding towards the two males like a wild boar. "COME HERE!"

"Whoa! What's up with this weirdo lady?!" Sonic questioned as he zipped away from her. Mario, however, was unfortunate and he got captured in her clutches.

Yelling in fright, Mario was thrown violently by the female Pianta. The only good thing that came out of being thrown by an insane Pianta woman was that he got a Blue Coin in the air as he descended to the ground. Landing on his bottom, Mario released a series of painful groans. Sonic ran over and helped the plumber to his feet.

"You okay, buddy?" the hedgehog questioned.

"I am in pain…!"

"I know, I know," Sonic said. "I wonder what was up with that crazy lady!"

"She probably thought I was the imposter! Hmph!" murmured Mario as he rubbed his behind.

Sonic shrugged. "Oh well."

Mario sighed deeply and turned away from the blue hedgehog. He started walking on ahead, looking around to see what the problem was with the village this time. When he and Sonic reached the next area, they could see that the lake looked incredibly polluted and very dirty. It looked as if someone just poured a giant load of poison into the water! The once fresh liquid no longer appeared to be drinkable or swimmable. It was putrid and it reeked! Yuck!

"Wow, I think that faker went a little too far this time…" trailed Sonic as he gaped at the dirty water before them. He couldn't believe someone would even have the nerve…

"This is terrible!" Mario blurted out.

"You can say that again!"

"This is terrible!"

"I didn't mean literally…"

Mario chortled sheepishly. "Oh! Sorry about that!"

"Yeah, whatever…"

Mario was about to apologize again, but there was a voice from behind him that didn't sound friendly at all, "Do you really NEED to be thrown? Gimme a break!"

Before Mario could react, a brown colored Pianta male grabbed him with his massive hand and lifted him up into the air. Mario squealed like a ferocious pig that was being chased by a rabid fox. The plumber struggled to get free, but the Pianta was too darn strong!

"MAMA MIA!"

"Raaagraaaah!" the Pianta flung Mario into the air like he was throwing baseball.

Sonic watched as Mario flew through the air vigorously. When Mario landed onto the ground, Sonic dashed over and helped him to his feet once again, giving him a sympathetic expression. He felt sorry for the guy, really.

"Why do these Piantas keep throwing me around?! This is so unfair!" complained Mario.

"The imposter…"

"Still unfair!"

Sonic breathed out a tired sigh and shook his head. "Eh. Anyway, what do we do now? How are we going to fix this lake? I sure as heck am not touching it!"

FLUDD decided to talk, "Why don't you and Mario travel on one of the dead lily pads that are floating on the polluted water? I have a feeling that you might find something if you search around the lake…"

"That sounds like a great idea!" Mario spat out his words in delight, completely forgetting about getting thrown by a crazy Pianta.

So, the duo went and did what FLUDD had suggested. Mario was more than willing to do so while Sonic was extremely reluctant. As they stood on the wilting lily pad, Sonic clung onto the plumber for dear life, which made Mario roll his eyes. Mario used FLUDD to spray water behind them, causing them to move along the water on the dead lily pad.

Eventually, they had found a secret cave somewhere. They climbed off of the lily pad and Sonic literally kissed the ground, happy to be off of the water. If FLUDD had eyes, he would've rolled them right then and there. Mario decided to ignore Sonic for the moment and he found a gray box that looked highly familiar. He opened it and FLUDD's Turbo Nozzle popped out! Mario eagerly took it, attaching it to FLUDD.

"Hold down on the trigger to power up the Turbo Nozzle and do a super dash!" FLUDD informed Mario.

"Okay!" Mario did as he was told and then went zooming forward at an amazing speed, heading deeper into the dark cave. Sonic sped after him without a word, surprised.

Okay, so, Mario and Sonic found themselves in that completely white place again. Shadow Mario showed up and snagged FLUDD from Mario's back for the second time, which irked Mario to no end! Sonic was astonished that FLUDD was easily taken from them for a second time. When they were out of the white space, they were in another location with numerous obstacles, much more difficult ones than the ones before.

"Holy cheese sticks, where are we?!" Sonic caterwauled, peering around everywhere. "This place looks like that other weird place we visited before!"

"I know right?!" Mario was still upset that FLUDD was gone once again. "What are we going to do? Do you we move forward or find another way?

Sonic gestured around them. "I see no other way out of this! We have to move forward. It's the only way. There's probably a Shine Sprite at the end of this stage and then the poisoned water in the lake might be cured!"

"How do you know that?"

"I just have a feeling…"

Mario went along with that and moved forward, seeing six flipping blocks up ahead, four blue and two red. They were moving from side to side and then flipping unexpectedly. Sonic and Mario got through that part with complete ease.

Next, there was a large block that they had to get on top of if they wanted to get to the other side. The two of them managed to get onto the block, but they were surprised when it started flipping and moving at the same time.

"Whoa!" Mario almost fell.

"This isn't surprising…" trailed Sonic as he clung to the side of the block, hurriedly scrambling up to the top and keeping his balance as it continued to flip and move.

So, they got past that part and reached a yellow block that wasn't moving at all. They got across the yellow block without getting pushed off by platforms moving back and forth in an attempt to push individuals off of the platform.

Eventually the two heroes made it through the stage and reached the end, finding a Shine Sprite there!

And then…

…they transported back to Bianco Square, finished with another quest.
