(Back at Twilight Town, Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Eggy, Vivian, and Ms. Mowz were bidding the twilighters farewell. Vivian was hugging Koops from the back side)
DOUR:
Man, all this time you were abandoned at that slaughterhouse, and we accused you! We are so sorry for everything that had happened last night!
MARIO:
It's okay, Mayor Dour, all is-a good, right?
DOUR:
I guess.
TWILIGHTER GIRL #1:
I guess you weren't that bad after all.
MARIO:
Thanks, but I got my own stuff, y'know!
DOUR:
Can you forgive us for framing you?
MARIO:
Of course! I forgive you all!
DOUR:
Thanks.
VIVIAN:
Let's go back to Rogueport, Mario.
KOOPS:
Yeah, Vivian's right! Our quest ain't over 'till it's over!
(Vivian giggles at Koops' words)
VIVIAN:
You're so funny, Koops!
MARIO:
One, two, three, four. We need three more emeralds. Goodbye, everybody!
VILLAGERS:
Goodbye!
(As every partner of his went down the pipe, Mario kept waving at everybody until he bumped into the pipe and fell backwards. They were finally back in Rogueport Sewers)
KOOPS:
That sure was weird.
VIVIAN:
What?
KOOPS:
This whole Mario and Doopliss thing!
FLURRIE:
I agree with you, Koops.
(Mario's phone chimed)
EGGY:
Ooh, Gonzales, did you get a text? Is it from Rawk Hawk? Or Ms. Jolene?
MARIO:
No, Eggy, it's… ugh, it's that obnoxious damsel-in-distress again.
(Mario started reading the text)
MARIO:
My dear Mario, I have finally learned what the legendary treasure is. It is the spirit of a demon! The X-Nauts plan to revive this thousand-year-old monster… and use its power to take over the world! They're collecting the Chaos Emeralds so they can open the Thousand-Year Door. They'll find this demon's spirit. But the only thing that can keep it locked away is the Chaos Emeralds themselves! You must not let them get the Chaos Emeralds! Please, Mario… you must put a stop to their horrible plans!
EGGY:
A spirit of a demon!? That can't be good!
VIVIAN:
But, those X-Nauts are so dumb, they…
(Vivian checks around the area to see if there are any X-Nauts in sight)
VIVIAN:
They don't know that this ancient door opens without any of those Chaos Emeralds or those Crystal Star thingies!
MARIO:
Vivian does have a point, Eggy.
GOOMBELLA:
And Professor Frankly isn't really smart at all!
EGGY:
Then, why would he be a professor in the first place?
KOOPS:
You know what surprises me?
GOOMBELLA:
What?
KOOPS:
Professor Frankly's never been fired somehow!
MARIO:
So many questions flooding my brain! Should we go talk to this Bobbery fellow or whatever his name is! I'm-a guessing he's a Bob-Omb!
(Next scene cuts to the entrance to Rogueport College)
ADMINISTRATOR:
Ah, Mario! You're back to see me again! And I see you got a crew with you this time! Even Goombella's with you!
MARIO:
Yeah, it's a long story, but we're here to see, uhh…
GOOMBELLA:
Mr. Bobbery!
MARIO:
Thanks!
ADMINISTRATOR:
Mr. Bobbery? Well, he left the college a couple of days ago, in a vacation on an island.
MARIO:
An island…? An island!
(Mario whipped out his Emerald Finder 1000 and searched for that specific island)
GOOMBELLA:
Let me see that, Mario!
(Mario showed Goombella his gadget)
GOOMBELLA:
Wait a minute, it's that island where the legendary Cortez resides! You don't think he went there to try to fight him? If someone comes to his lair, they never come back!
MARIO:
We have to stop him before it's too late!
GOOMBELLA:
And I know the shortcut! Oh, and could you fire Professor Frankly, 'cause he's not really smart, and I don't think ever got a degree! Bye!
(They left the college and went back down to the sewers where those shortcuts are)
MARIO:
Okay, huge problem: four blue pipes!
GOOMBELLA:
Hmm… I think it's somewhere around the middle.
(Mario and gang entered one of those blue pipes around the middle. They entered a tropical area)
GOOMBELLA:
Tropical… this must be it, Mario!
(Mario popped out of the pipe and noticed it was a tropical paradise)
MARIO:
Wow! So… tropicaly! Now, where can that Bobbery fellow be?
GOOMBELLA:
Uhh…
(Just then, she heard noise going off in the distance)
GOOMBELLA:
This way! Quick!
(They rushed over to see what the commotion is)
GOOMBELLA:
Wait a minute! I don't remember seeing a black hole.
NEWS ANCHOR KOOPA:
Me neither!
BOMBETTE:
Yeah, I'm working with the news, and those guys told me some blue fire creatures dragged my dad underground. Is that Mario? Hey, Mario!
MARIO:
Hey, Bombette! What are you doing here…? Wait, you already told Goombella the story about blue fire creatures dragging your dad underground!
BOMBETTE:
Yes sir! What are you doing?
MARIO:
I'm on some quest for these diamonds called The Chaos Emeralds. But, I will be glad to save your dad along the way.
BOMBETTE:
Thank you so much, Mario!
(Mario gives Bombette a hug)
MARIO:
No problem! What are paisanos for, huh?
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, I'd really hate to interrupt your conversation, but… what if those blue fire creatures are Cortez?
MARIO:
Well, then, do you have a rope that you can wrap me up with?
NEWS ANCHOR KOOPA:
Good thing we brought that, just in case if Cortez ever shows up!
(Next scene shows Mario with the rope wrapped around his waist)
MARIO:
Alright, paisanos! Wish me luck!
(Eggy quickly jumps on Mario's back just as he's about to jump in that hole. They both made it to safety)
EGGY:
Uh, Gonzales, where even is Cortez?
MARIO:
Eggy, what are you doing? It's-a dangerous! You know what, hop on my back and stay there no matter what, okay?
(Eggy nodded his head and did what Mario told him to do. They walked and followed the light which led them to a bar of some sort)
EGGY:
Whoa, what is that?
MARIO:
It's… it's a bar!
(They went inside the bar and noticed a sailor Bob-Omb drinking with four fire bubbles)
FIRE BUBBLE:
I'm sorry you lost your wife, dude!
SAILOR BOB-OMB:
Oh, that's fine! Hey, look! It's Santa Claus!
MARIO:
Wow, he really is drunk.
EGGY:
And he needs our help, Gonzales!
SAILOR BOB-OMB:
Hey, Santa! What I want for Christmas is a Barbie doll!
EGGY:
Okay, that is definitely weird. He just called you Santa!
SAILOR BOB-OMB:
Oh, Santa, you're captured by pirates! Let me free you!
MARIO:
No wait, sir! I'm not captured by…
(But the lave bubble "freed" Mario)
EGGY:
Yep, we're trapped!
MARIO:
Not yet! I can wall jump!
(Mario picks up the drunk Bob-omb as Eggy hopped on Mario's back. Then, he ran to that hole and wall jumped until he made it to the top, then he set Eggy and the sailor Bob-Omb down as he dropped to the ground)
GOOMBELLA:
Mario, you did it!
KOOPS:
And it looks like Eggy's okay!
MARIO:
I did it! I saved this sailor man's life!
GOOMBELLA:
This isn't just a sailor man! That's my geometry teacher, Mr. Bobbery!
MARIO:
Wait a minute! That sailor man… is your geometry teacher?
GOOMBELLA:
Yeah, he is! Thank you so much for saving his life.
(Goombella kissed Mario on the cheek which made him blush)
BOBBERY:
Santa? *gasp* You saved my life, Santa!
FLURRIE:
Okay, we gotta find shelter, and fast!
MARIO:
Agreed! Maybe he can help us find that emerald!
