(Mario felt his heart racing when he witnessed Goombella getting harassed by the Glitz Pit champion, Rawk Hawk)
RAWK HAWK:
C'mon, hottie, we were just getting to know each other!
GOOMBELLA:
I don't know you, now leave me alone!
RAWK HAWK:
Just come into this bar with me, and let's make out!
MARIO:
Hey, Rawk Hawk! Leave my girl alone!
GOOMBELLA:
Mario?
RAWK HAWK:
Great Gonzales? You're that chick's boyfriend?
MARIO:
Yes, I am! Now go back to your fancy champion room and brag to yourself about that fake Chaos Emerald! We've gotta go!
(Mario grabbed Goombella and ran straight for the minor league locker room)
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, what are you doing? And where's Koops?
MARIO:
It's a long story, so I'll explain this to you when we get in my locker room!
(Mario finally got in the room and set Goombella on his bed)
GOOMBELLA:
Okay, Mario, what's going on?
MARIO:
Well…
(Then there were flashbacks of when Mario, Koops, and Frankly left the Petal Meadows, Mario running after Punio, Mario, Koops and Flurrie being dropped in a manhole, Mario signing Grubba's contract, Eggy jumping on Mario and licking him, and finally, Ms. Mowz eating cake and poofing out of existence)
GOOMBELLA:
Wait, so Madame Flurrie and that baby Yoshi were with you and Koops? And you got two Chaos Emeralds!?
MARIO:
Yeah, see those?
(Mario showed Goombella the green and blue Emeralds)
GOOMBELLA:
Omigosh! That is so cool!
MARIO:
Yeah!
GOOMBELLA:
Hey, thanks for saving me!
(Mario gently places his hands on Goombella's cheeks since she has no shoulders)
MARIO:
Goombella, I'm always gonna be here for you.
GOOMBELLA:
Really? Y-You mean it?
(Mario nods his head and slowly moves his head closer to Goombella's as he puckers his lips. Goombella does the same, but just before their lips could make contact, Eggy entered the room excitedly)
EGGY:
Yo, Gonzales! We got some great news…
(Eggy finally realized Mario was gonna make out with Goombella)
EGGY:
Are you seriously making out with her!?
MARIO:
Uh, heh heh… kinda?
EGGY:
Dude, you're cheeks are red!
KOOPS:
Hey Mario, we found Ms. Mowz… wait, is that Goombella?
GOOMBELLA:
Hi, Koops!
(Koops runs up and hugs Goombella)
KOOPS:
Hey, Goombella, are you finally coming with us?
GOOMBELLA:
As a matter of fact, I am coming along for the ride!
FLURRIE:
It's alright, Ms. Mowz, you need rest.
MS. MOWZ:
No messages.[English]
GOOMBELLA:
Excuse me, ma'am, but are you Madame Flurrie?
FLURRIE:
Why, yes I am, dear! And what would your name be, young madame?
GOOMBELLA:
My name's Goombella! Nice to meet you in person! My mom was a huge fan of you!
FLURRIE:
Well, I'll be darned, Goombella! I feel like I must ask you and Mario something!
MARIO:
W-What is it?
FLURRIE:
Are you two a couple?
MARIO:
Are we though?
EGGY:
They were making out!
GOOMBELLA:
Well, sure we're a couple! I think Mario's very cute and handsome! Also, I found a Chaos Emerald on that chicken's belt!
MARIO:
That one's fake! The real one is somewhere under the fighting ring!
GOOMBELLA:
Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go get it!
MARIO:
Which is why we're gonna become champs so we can make that old Grubba talk!
(Mario went up to the terminal)
GRUBBA:
Hey Gonzales, you're gonna be fighting The Koopinator, and I don't want any of your partners attacking!
(Mario placed Goombella, Koops, Flurrie and Ms. Mowz in his partner band just as the security guard escorted Mario and Eggy to the battle ring. Mario then realized that he only had two fright masks. He tried using it against the Dark Koopatrol, but it didn't scare him at all)
KOOPINATOR:
Ha ha, do you really think it would scare me?
MARIO:
Uhh…
(Eggy swapped himself with Flurrie. The Dark Koopatrol tried ramming his shell at Mario, but he superguarded the attack. Mario and Flurrie swapped positions as Flurrie swapped herself with Koops. Mario used his last Fright Mask and this time it worked. Mario gained one star point. Back in the room, Ms. Jolene gave Mario fifteen dollars and left. Mario's phone chimed yet again)
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, who's calling you?
MARIO:
I'm getting these text messages from this X fellow who knows how we can get the real Chaos Emerald!
X:
rEmOvE tHe GrEaT gOnZaLeS pOsTeRs In ThE lObBy.
GOOMBELLA:
Since when did you started getting posters about you?
MARIO:
I didn't know there were posters about me?
KOOPS:
Well, we gotta go out there and check!
(Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Eggy, and Ms. Mowz went out to the lobby, and indeed, there were posters with Mario and name "Great Gonzales" slapped in every one of them)
MARIO:
X was right! There are posters! I guess we better remove them!
GOOMBELLA:
Split up, everyone!
(Mario, Koops, Flurrie, and Ms. Mowz went their separate ways and started peeling off posters. However, Goombella and Eggy stuck together since Goombella is armless and Eggy is too small and needed a boost. As Mario peeled off a poster, he noticed a key falling off the poster)
MARIO:
What the mama-mia is this doing down here?
(Mario's phone chimed)
X:
gO tO tHe SeCoNd FlOoR oF tHe StOrAgE rOoM.
MARIO:
Guys, follow me!
(Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Eggy, and Ms. Mowz stopped what they were doing and followed Mario all the way to the storage room)
KOOPS:
Mario, what are we doing back here?
(They all stopped at a locked door that said "Grubba's Personal Room")
FLURRIE:
Grubba's personal room…
MARIO:
Oh, we're finally gonna get all those answers!
(Mario unlocked Grubba's room without hesitation, and when they entered the room, they were super shocked to find not only dead bodies, but those bodies belonged to King K and Bandy Andy. This made Goombella scream)
MARIO:
WHAT THE MAMA-MIA!!! IS THAT BANDY ANDY AND KING K!!!
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, can we please go! This is disgusting!
MARIO:
Yes, let's get out of here and lock this room up before Grubba finds out!
KOOPS:
But, what are we gonna do with their bodies!?
MARIO:
Just leave them here for now!!!
(Next scene cuts back to the major league locker room)
FLURRIE:
I think I'm gonna be sick!
EGGY:
I'm scared, Gonzales!
MARIO:
It's okay, Eggy, we'll avenge them. We just have have to take down Rawk Hawk and Grubba!
(Mario walked up to the terminal)
GRUBBA:
Gonzales, ready to be the champ!? I know I am! You just have to use a special move during battle! I'm so excited for you, soon-to-be champ!
(Mario places Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and Ms. Mowz in his partner band just as the security guard was gonna escort Mario and Eggy to the ring. However, they seem to be taking a different route)
MARIO:
Excuse me, sir? We're going the opposite direction, heh heh!
SECURITY:
Well, Gonzales, it's a special battle against the champ, so we're taking a special route!
EGGY:
I don't really like this!
(The security sent Mario and Eggy to an abandoned locker room and locked the duo inside)
MARIO:
Wait!
(Mario banged on door like crazy)
MARIO:
You better let me out right now!!! Hello?!?
EGGY:
We're trapped!
(Mario gave up and set free his other partners)
GOOMBELLA:
What happened?
MARIO:
That stupid guard idiot locked us in there!
KOOPS:
What!?
FLURRIE:
We're locked in?!? Oh, this can't be good! I hate being locked in abandoned rooms!
MARIO:
Well, I guess we better text X.
MS. MOWZ:
No messages.[English]
(Ms. Mowz actually showed her companions a way out)
MARIO:
Ms. Mowz, you are a genius! Let's go!
(Mario and gang went through this supposed exit until they reached a bathroom)
FLURRIE:
You want us to go down the drain? Yuck!
GOOMBELLA:
That is just gross!
MARIO:
Well, we better flush ourselves down the toilet!
KOOPS:
Why don't we all just go in his magical bracelet.
GOOMBELLA:
Great idea, Koops! But what about Mario? Is he gonna be okay with all that gross stuff covered up?
MARIO:
I'll be fine, I'll just shower myself afterwards!
GOOMBELLA:
Okay, Mario.
(Mario placed all his partners in his partner band and flushed himself down the toilet. He then popped out of a manhole somewhere around the entrance, and he got all grossed out when he smelled himself. He then sets free Eggy who was covering his snout)
EGGY:
I wished I had Koops's bandage.
MARIO:
Come on, we gotta fight that oversized chicken!
(Mario grabbed Eggy and ran straight for the ring)
GRUBBA:
There he is, guys! The Great Gonzales vs. Rawk Hawk! Who will win this fight? I'm so excited for Gonzales, guys! Let the battle… BEGIN!!!
EGGY:
Gonzales, let's do this!
RAWK HAWK:
P… U… you stink bad! You should've stayed locked in that filthy cockroach infested room!
MARIO:
Wait, you were behind this!?
RAWK HAWK:
Uh-huh!
EGGY:
But what about that cake, then!?
RAWK HAWK:
I inserted chemicals into that cake! That's what happens when you mess with the hawk! You get RAWWWWKED!!!
MARIO:
Oh, you are so gonna pay for messing with my girl and threatening me with your texts!
RAWK HAWK:
Okay, hold up a sec… I did not text you at all!
MARIO:
Wait a second? You didn't send me those threatening text messages?
RAWK HAWK:
Of course not, why would you think that?
MARIO:
Let's just finish this battle!
(Mario power bounced Rawk Hawk, giving him 9876543 damage. Mario earned fourteen star points)
GRUBBA:
Well, the battle of the century concluded in great success, and The Great Gonzales wins that champion belt! Let's give it up for him! Oh, that smells gross.
(The crowd had enough with the stench and left the ring)
MARIO:
We did it, Eggy! We're finally champs!
GRUBBA:
Here's your belt!
RAWK HAWK:
No! I was supposed to be the only champ!
MARIO:
Thanks, Grubba!
(Mario and partners made it the champs room, Mario went to the bathroom and took a shower)
GOOMBELLA:
Is there really a Chaos Emerald under a ring?
KOOPS:
Yeah, it's on Mario's gadget.
FLURRIE:
yawn* I'm just gonna take a little rest.
KOOPS:
Good luck with that, okay? Alright, Goombella, this is the Emerald Finder 1000! Mario got this from Knuckles the Echidna!
GOOMBELLA:
Wow, cool!
KOOPS:
Oh, and look! There it is, under the fighting ring!
EGGY:
Guys, I hear a voice through the vents!
(Mario's chimed again)
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, you got a text!
MARIO:
I'll be out there shortly!
(Mario hurriedly dried himself and wrapped himself with a towel, and grabbed his phone)
X:
fInD tHe GhOsT iN tHe ChAmP's RoOm.
EGGY:
A g-g-g-ghost!?
(Eggy hid behind Koops)
KOOPS:
Is there really a ghost in the vents?
(There was a knock on the door)
MARIO:
Who is it?
GRUBBA:
It's me, Grubba! Can I please talk to you in the ring?
MARIO:
smirking* Sure, just let me put on my clothes real quick!
(Time skip to where Mario and co. are walking to the ring. Mario is so prepared for what's about to happen. When they got in the ring, the partners were shocked to find that there really was a machine that's being powered by a red Chaos Emerald. Mario gasped)
GOOMBELLA:
It's the Chaos Emerald!
MARIO:
Hey Grubba! What do you think you're doing?
GRUBBA:
Ms. Jolene went on vacation, so I'm giving you an opportunity to witness my youth machine!
MARIO:
So I can die just like King K and Bandy Andy!? Who the mama-mia do you think you are?!?
GRUBBA:
You went in my personal room!?
MARIO:
Your darn tootin' I did! What are you gonna do? Cry to Ms. Jolene?
GRUBBA:
I am so mad at you, Gonzales! HOW COULD YOU HAVE GONE IN MY PERSONAL ROOM, YOU MORON?!?
MARIO:
How could you kill fighters just to look young!?
GOOMBELLA:
We're gonna go get the police! C'mon…
(Goombella witnessed Grubba shooting himself from the machine)
GRUBBA:
Hrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmmmmmm…
GOOMBELLA:
Is he injecting himself from that machine?
(Mario and the others saw Grubba finally forming into a much bigger orange clubba with a yellow mohawk)
GRUBBA:
Macho Grubba!!!
FLURRIE:
Guys, he went super saiyan!
KOOPS:
Let's get out of here!
GRUBBA:
Get back here, you imbeciles!
(Mario and co. ran away from Grubba who's now holding the Chaos Emerald. They ran up to the bar where they found Ms. Jolene)
JOLENE:
Mario, you finally solved all the brain solving puzzles!
MARIO:
How do you know about that!?
JOLENE:
I was the one who sent you those texts, I was X the whole time!
MARIO:
Wait, is that true?
JOLENE:
Yes! I wanted to get revenge on Grubba so I could avenge my brother, I knew he killed him!
(Jolene started crying)
MARIO:
Hey, Ms. Jolene, please don't cry.
KOOPS:
We're so sorry about your brother.
(Eggy started whimpering and licked her in the cheek)
GOOMBELLA:
I would've felt the same way if Lord Crump killed my mom.
JOLENE:
Thank you so much, guys.
(Grubba unexpectedly crashed his now gigantic hand through the building and grabbed Mario tightly, making him drop his hammer)
GOOMBELLA:
MARIO!!!
KOOPS:
Mario!
GRUBBA:
Hoo-wee, Gonzales! You're gonna be fighting Macho Grubba!
(Grubba slammed Mario hard on the ground)
GOOMBELLA:
No! Mario!
GRUBBA:
Your condition is to DIE!!!
(Grubba grabbed Mario and squeezed him for a split second)
GRUBBA:
Now…
MARIO:
Wait, Mr. Grubba, can I have my last words before you end me? My last words are: there's a baby Yoshi who's wielding a hammer, and there are cops surrounding you!
GRUBBA:
What…?
(Eggy flutter jumped and threw Mario's ultra hammer at Grubba's eye making him drop Mario. Grubba screamed in pain just as the cops were tasering him, making him scream even more as he shrinks back to his normal size and his skin turns back to blue. Flurrie hurriedly caught Mario and Eggy before he could land hard on the ground and placed them outside the bar where everybody witnessed Grubba's arrest)
CHIEF CONSTABLE:
Grubba Blubba, you are under arrest for first degree murder!
GRUBBA:
Way to go, Gonzales! You're the best fighter ever!
CHIEF CONSTABLE:
Enough talk! Get in Radar now!
(Chief Constable shoved Grubba in Radar)
UNCLE RICHARD:
But what are we gonna do with that red diamond that Grubba had stolen?
RADAR:
Seems like it came from a jewelry shop! I guess we'll just take it back!
MARIO:
No wait, that's no ordinary diamond! And it wasn't from any jewelry shop!
GOOMBELLA:
It's the Chaos Emerald!
MARIO:
Grubba stole it and used it on a machine so he can look younger! We actually need it so we can take it back to it's rightful owner!
UNCLE RICHARD:
Now that I think about it, it DOES make a lot of sense!
RADAR:
You better take that thing and keep it safe!
MARIO:
Thanks, guys!
(Mario ran over to the Chaos Emerald and grabbed it)
JOLENE:
Hey, Mario! I actually want you and your buddies to come to the funeral, please!
MARIO:
Sure thing, ma'am! We'll do it!
