Chapter 8: Treasure Hunting For a Koopa Castle

(At the Red Mountains by the Mystic Ruins)

Knuckle and Wario arrived at the Red Mountains.

Wario- Nice scenery, but know where can a guy get a burger around here?

Knuckles- If you wanted a burger place, maybe you should've gone with Sonic and Luigi to Grand Metropolis instead of pestering me!

Wario- Hey, isn't that your home, Angel Island, over there?

Knuckles looked out to where Wario was pointing and saw an island just barely in view from the mountain in the waters close to the Mystic Ruins.

Knuckles- That is Angel Island. God damn it! The Master Emerald really has been stolen! Now the Island is stuck in the ocean and will sink if I don't do anything! I need to talk to Sonic about finding whoever stole the Master Emerald after we take care of these Koopa castles!

Then Knuckles and Wario saw a bunch of Parakoopas attacking some archeologists who were doing work in the Mystic Ruins.

Knuckles- Finally, some action!

Knuckle flew in and smacked a few with his fists. This did allow the archeologists to escape and just in time for what was coming next…

Wario- Hey Knuckles, you might want to get out of the way!

Then Knuckles saw Wario pointed his butt at him and the Parakoopas just as he was pulling down his pants.

Knuckles- Wario, what are you doing?!

Suddenly, there was a giant mushroom cloud made of Wario's gas filling the whole area. The Parakoopas dropped to the ground, completely stunned by all of that. Knuckles rushed out of the gas as quick as he could and trying to breath in some fresh air like there was no tomorrow.

Knuckles- (GASP) What the ****ing **** was that?!

Wario- My secret weapon.

Knuckles- Well next time, keep your ****ing secret weapon to yourself! That was disgusting!

Wario folded his arms, turned his head, and grunted under his breath a bit. Knuckles eventually pulled himself together after that stunt Wario pulled.

Knuckles- Well, if there are those Koopa's around, then the castle we're looking for must be close by.

Wario- But how do we find it?

Knuckles- Lucky for you, I'm the world's greatest treasure hunter. I can find where the castle is hidden in no time.

(In the lava cavern in Red Mountain)

Knuckles and Wario found the castle and it was pretty close to the lava.

Wario- About time we found it! You took too long oh so great treasure hunter!

Knuckles- Well you weighed me down when you clung to me as I was gliding from one spot to another on the mountain! What do you weight?! 300 lbs.?! You really need to lose some of that large belly!

Wario- Hey! I'm not that fat! Besides, what makes you think you're tougher than me?!

Then Knuckles walked up to the door of the castle and smashed it down with one punch.

Knuckles- Anything else you want to ask?

Wario was left speechless with what Knuckles had just done. After Wario shook it off, the two of them went into the castle.

(Inside the Koopa castle)

Knuckles punched down the door to a room where Roy Koopa was waiting for them.

Roy- Did you have to knock down the door like that?! King Dad will get angry if I left you wreck the place too much.

Knuckles- That should be the least of your worries. Wait until you see your dental bill after I'm done with you.

Roy- I'd like to see you try, dumbass!

Knuckles- Wario, is this the Koopaling?

Wario- Correct. That's Roy Koopa. He acts like he's the toughest of all the other Koopalings.

Knuckles- Kind of sissy looking with all that pink, really. But then again, there is a saying that only real men can wear pink.

Roy got into his shell, spun around a bit, and launched himself at Knuckles and Wario. Wario jumped over Roy, but Knuckles grabbed hold of the wall and climbed it up and Roy slammed his shell against the wall.

Roy- You coward! Get back down here and fight me!

Knuckles- If you insist!

Knuckles jumped off the wall and performed the drill attack from Sonic Adventure 2 and landed on Roy's head. Then Wario performed his body slam attack from the Wario Land games and hit Roy in the chest. Roy took a few steps back, but he stopped himself from collapsing.

Roy- Is that…all you got…

Wario- No way!

Then Wario pulled his pants down again and pointed his butt at Roy.

Knuckles- Wait, Wario! You're not gonna do that again?!

Then there was a mushroom cloud of Wario's gas and it completely filled the room. Knuckles quickly opened a window and gasped for breath.

Knuckles- I thought I told you to not do that again you ****ing idiot!

Wario- What? It got the job done. See.

The gas cloud disappeared and Roy was knocked out cold. However, his body was twitching a bit.

(Outside the castle)

Knuckles and Wario had just gotten outside and Knuckles punched a part of the bottom of the castle and the castle fell apart. That's when the two of them saw something strange in the rubble. It looked like a strange microchip with an antenna.

Wario- What's that?

Knuckles- Looks like one of Eggman's gadgets.
