Chapter Seven.
Outside the Toads and all the Star toads flew to the ship. The Star toads carried the Toads onto the ship. Where they battled more Venetia's mind-controlled soldiers. Rayner carrying Toadworth landed along with Starry. "Forward my friends. Let's save our friends and stop Venetia!" Starry said. "Charge!" A Toad cried, charging into battle.
In the throne room. Mario prepared to fight Venetia. Venetia charged up her energy and threw it at Mario. Mario dodged each attack as he made his way to Venetia and jumped up and ground pounced on her. Then landed back on the floor. Venetia shook off the pain. "Curse you, Mario!" She cried electrifying herself. "Try that again I dare you!" she cried daring him, as Mario charged at her again and tried to ground pounce her again only to be shocked away. Mario crashed onto the floor groaning in pain, as Venetia laughed. "Foolish man. When will you realize, it's useless to fight me!" Venetia said, powering up her energy again and threw it at him while he was down. The energy blast flew towards Mario and was about to hit him, When Yoshi's tongue grabbed the energy blast and he put it in his mouth and spit back at Venetia, who dodged it. "Venetia!" Starry shouted, facing her. "So, you want to take me on as well you little, Wait. You, you're the Starlight Princess!" Venetia said, angrily. "Your finished Venetia!" She said. "Mario!" Theodore cried, throwing a star at him. Mario grabbed the star and became invincible. "What no!" Venetia cried, in shock. Mario rushed to her and upper cut her through the roof and out of the ship. Mario sat down to catch his breath as the star power faded. Starry, Toad, Theodore and Yoshi all cheered and ran to Mario. "You did it Mario, you beat her!" Starry said, as Mario got back up. "I couldn't have done it without you guys!" Mario said, as Theodore shook his hand. Then they heard a moan. The five of them turned and saw Luigi coming too. "Luigi!" Mario cried, rushing to him. "Mario ugh. What happened? Ugh what hit me?" Luigi asked, holding his right arm. "It's okay Luigi, I dealt with him!" Mario said, helping Luigi up and hugged him. "Come on let's grab the Princess and split!" Toad said. "Good idea!" Mario said, as they headed to Statue Peach and were about to pick her up when suddenly the ship violently shook making everyone on board fall over. Then alarms sounded and the ship began to crash to the ground. "What's happening?" Theodore asked, as Ivar ran in. "Run, run, we're going down! He cried, running out the dock door. Suddenly the ship shook violently again and started to tip over to the left, making everyone slide to the left. "Hang on we're going to crash!" Mario cried, shielding Statue Peach from the impact. After the crash Toadworth and the others who evacuated the ship gasped in horror. "My word Princess, Master Mario!" Toadworth cried. Inside Mario who had successfully shielded Peach, gets up and rubs his sore neck. He then went to check on the others. "Toad, Yoshi, Theodore, Luigi, Starry!" He called them, as Yoshi popped out of the debris with Luigi, Toad and Starry. "Over here Mario!" Toad said, as Mario ran to them. "Luigi, Toad, Yoshi, Starry. Are you guys, okay? Mario asked. "Yeah, we're fine bro. What about the Princess?' Luigi asked, as Mario helped them up. "She's okay!" Mario said. "Wait where's Theodore?" Starry asked, hearing a moan and saw Theodore's arm sticking out of debris. Oh no Theodore!" Starry cried, as Mario pushed the debris off him and saw him out cold. "Theodore, Theodore!" Mario said, seeing he was out. Just then a sudden Thunderstorm came out of nowhere and the ground shook violently as a red energy light burst out not far from the ship. Mario and the others ran to the hole on the left side of the ship and saw a giant enraged Bowser rise from the ground. "Mama Mia!" Mario said, just as Bowser roared. "Bowser!" Mario said, in shock. "Holy Mushroom. What happened to Bowser? He looks enraged!" Toad said. Just when Mario used his binoculars. He aimed them at Bowser's shoulder where he saw an enraged Venetia floating beside him. "Venetia!" Mario said, in shock. "Mario!" Venetia angrily shouted. "Now you've made me mad. If I cannot have this Kingdom, then no one will!" She shouted, whipping Bowser and he turned toward the Mushroom kingdom. "Go my Beast, destroy the Mushroom kingdom!" She shouted. Just when Bowser took in a deep breath and blew his fire at the Kingdom, destroying several buildings, including Theodore's Item shop. Mario gasped and hid behind the metal debris. Starry and the others also took cover as Bowser's flames hit them. "Mario!" Luigi cried. "I'm fine. Stay right there, don't come out!" He cried, just when Theodore woke up. "Ugh, what's going on?" He asked, just as Bowser blew his fire again. After the fire blast passed, Theodore peeked out and saw Bowser. "Great Mushrooms. What happened to Bowser? Theodore asked. "It was Venetia she made him huge and enraged!" Starry said, as they heard Venetia laughing. "What are we going to do? How do we stop him?" Luigi asked. Theodore started to think and happen to look down and saw the Giga Cat bell on the ground. "The Giga Cat bell!" He said, pick it up. He then got brave and rushed out of the hole. "Theodore!" Luigi cried. "No Theodore, you'll get killed!" Starry cried. Theodore kept running until he saw a clearing. Then threw the Giga Cat Bell as far as he could throw it. The Giga Cat Bell hit the ground, and a bright light blasted out and a huge Giga Cat bell rang out. "Mario the Giga Bell. Get to the Giga Bell!" Theodore cried. Mario stared at the Giga Bell. "Giga Bell!" He said, rushing for it. Just as Bowser stomped down and made it rain hot rock spikes. Mario kept running and dodged the hot rock spikes as they crashed all around him. Mario reached the Giga Cat Bell and touched and grew and grew and grew until there was a bright light. A Giant Cat Mario landed on the ground and was ready to take on the enraged Bowser and Venetia. "Mario, destroy him!" Venetia shouted, Whipping Bowser again, who roared at cat Mario. He then blew fire balls at cat Mario, who ducked and charged towards him and struck him with his claws. Bowser backed off. "Get in there and kill him!" Venetia shouted. As Bowser roared. Then went into his shell and rolled at Cat Mario, who move and attacked again and struck him on the soft part of his shell. Bowser cried out. Dazed and weak Bowser fell onto his shell. "No, no!" Venetia shouted. That's when cat Mario made his move and ground pounced on Bowser. Bowser cried out, then fell to the ground. The red sparkling mist poured out of him, and he shrunk back to normal size. After that the storm vanished and the morning sun shined brightly. Mario was now back to normal and standing beside an unconscious Bowser. Just when Toad, Luigi, Theodore and Yoshi ran up to him cheering. "You did it, you defeated Bowser!" Toad said. "Way to go Bro!" Luigi said, hugging him and forgot he injured his arm. "Oh ow, ow!" He cried, holding his sore arm. "You okay bro?" Mario asked. "Yeah, I'll be fine! Luigi said, holding his arm. As they continued to celebrate, they didn't notice Venetia hiding behind some debris and was about to sneak off, when a shadow approached her, and she gasped. Soon Toad Worth, Rayner, the Toads and Star Toads were there congratulating Mario when. "Excuse me!" The other knight said, holding Venetia. "But I believe this is your prisoner!" He said, as the Toad guards came and took Venetia away. "Excuse us, but who are you?" Toad asked. As the Knight took off his helmet. "Chester!" Starry cried, rushing to him. "Prince Chester, what happened to you?" Rayner asked. "It's a long story Lord Rayner!" He said, staring at Starry and knew it was Maria. "Princess!" He said, bowing.
Soon Bowser was awake and was bawling in front of Statue Peach. "Peaches, my darling Peaches!" He cried, blowing his nose. Mario and Starry both approached statue Peach. They looked at each other and nodded. Starry then touched Peach's finger and once again a bright light shined between Peach's finger and Starry's. Mario and the others watched as Peach changed from stone to her normal self but as she changed Starry changed too. Peach breathed the air and opened her eyes and saw Starry's true form. Maria had Long blue hair with star shaped pig tails. She was wearing a long light blue gown. Her crown was gold with a star shape diamond on top. Peach smiled when she saw Maria's blue eyes and Maria smiled too. Then everyone cheered. Just then Bowser rushed to them. "Peaches, Oh Peaches, am I ever so glad you're okay!" Bowser said. "Bowser, what are you doing here?" Peach asked, angrily. "It a long story princess!" Mario said.
