At Mummipokey's Original Base, on the vast scales of Mount Timeless
"Almost there blue bro" said Tropix as they were nearing the peak of Mount Timeless. They were scaling the fortress known as Mummipokey's Original Base, and even Tropix was out of breath after walking up the Six Thousand Foot Stairs.
"Might I ask why you decided to bring a Hip Hop Hog Carcass" asked Boshi, noticing the blood dripping from it's neck.
"You'll see Boshi, you'll see" smiled Tropix. The two eventually reached the peak of Mount Timeless, and behold them was a dome at the top.
"Hmm. Wonder what that dome is doing there" Boshi said, raising an eyebrow at Tropix. Without warning, Tropix shoved Boshi into the dome and locked the door
"HEY WHAT THE HELL!" boomed Boshi. Ue then noticed blood dripping from the top of the dome. With just this faint warning, the hog carcass slammed into the centre. Then the dome began to shake as Tropix began reciting a chant.
"Yoshi men of the great, Boshi must be on his feet to change his fate" said Tropix. He then fired a black beam of magic from his hands and the hog carcass resurrected into a zombified form with glowing yellow eyes. It growled at him before pouncing around and stomping its feet.
"WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?" cried Tropix. Tropix nodded downwards. Boshi then saw that beneath his feet were circles painted inside the ring within the dome. They began to glow various colours as a music began playing.
"Ah I see what needs to be done now" Boshi said, wagging his finger at Tropix. He then began to dance on the spot, then did a sunwalk around the ring. The hog flashed it's teeth, and it too began dancing. Boshi danced faster, well on his feet keeping with the rhythm.
But the hog was beginning to catchup. Boshi began to waltz his way closer to the ring and then began breakdancing, and the hog did so too, but he was no match for Boshi's mad dance skills. Eventually the hog dropped from exhaustion and it's eyes went from yellow to normal. Boshi noticed that he was rapidly running out of breath, then he also happened to notice a keyhole.
"You have to retrieve the key from him" said Tropix. Boshi rolled his eyes.
"Oh you pink bastard I know what is going on" sighed Boshi. He stuck his hand inside the hog's rectum and fished out a key. He managed to flutter jump high enough to reach the glass at the top of the dome and gasped for air, just barely managing to escape.
"See now you've completed one of the challenges along the journey. Now that wasn't so bad now was it" smirked Tropix. Boshi then proceeded to punch him in the face.
"OW! JEEZ!" moaned Tropix. "Now your reward is some dinner. Let's figure out how get that unlucky thing out of the dome". Boshi eyeballed Tropix.
"Uh oh" Boshi said grimly. Tropix turned to see a pack of Big Yoshibears climbing up the mountain.
"They smelt the chicken" Tropix breathed nervously.
"How will we ever get out of here" Boshi cried. Then suddenly, without warning, a white hole appeared and out came Bobby, and he picked both of them up before summoning another black hole and taking them through there.
"Ok well I will admit I wasn't expecting this" said Tropix.
"Well, who would" grinned Bobby.
"Ohh GOD!" Tropix frowned. The Big Yoshibears did in fact, unbeknownst to the three, have the ability to fly and were doing so.
"Don't worry" said Bobby. He then began to fart hypersonically, roaring through the air at incredible speeds, and the bears were no match for him.
"Where are you taking us?" asked Boshi.
"Tropix knows" smirked Bobby. He flew into the water, and then proceeded to use the prowess of his ghostly arms' mighty paddling powers to jet through the water and landed them on a riverboat in the mighty Weeping River.
"Far out, it is muggy" said Tropix. The Weeping River was in the Hot Zone of Yoshi's Island, and would give off a putrid smell and increase the humidity of the air to such high levels that anything in it would begin to weep. Of course, this was no surprise to the inhabitants of the Hot Zone. There lied fickle weather, dreadful diseases-and lurked the most wretched, terrifying, great, mysterious and deadly wildlife that was akin to something out of a nightmare. The tribes were not friendly either. That, and there were also pirates. Bloody pirates!
Boshi looked around, trying to think of how to get them to the nearest settlement.
"Argh, there be city folk on my boat. Sieze dem!" shouted the pirate captain on the riverboat
"Well what are you waiting for-JUMP IN!" yelled Tropix.
"WHAT-I'M NOT GETTING IN THERE" Boshi yelled back as a Goliath Toadfish made it's way past the boat. Then Boshi spotted something. It was a wing power up in a jar.
"If we make a dash for it, we can grab those wings in that jar and fly to safety" Boshi whispered to Tropix. Tropix made a beeline for the jar and missed but slammed into a shelf with the jars on it and all of the jars shattered as the force knocked the bookshelf over. He scrambled in the dark to find the wings before finally finding them, and he put them on and flew Boshi off the boat to safety.
Meanwhile, on an island with skies brighter than a beacon and smellier than Wario's asscrack
"WOAHOH" cried the trio as the ground that they were on began to shake.
"Where are we now?" Waluigi said sarcastically.
"Well me map tells me it's the Island of Power" said Admiral Bobbery. "And we'd better get movin because it won't be long before we can expect a "visitor"" said Admiral Bobbery.
"Hey brother-" a voice began enthusiastically
"GAH" cried the trio.
"Relax it's just me" said a pudgy plumber dressed in overalls.
"Wario?" said a stunned Waluigi.
"Yes it's me and yes I've heard about your little journey to save the world. Now if you wouldn't mind I need to show you something" said Wario. "Come with me"
The four walked up a series of roads and trails until they reached a deep cave tunnel that led inside a mountain.
"This is my worksite. We dig for all sorts here; gold, diamonds and most importantly, Shocking Powder" said Wario. Waluigi and Admiral Bobbery looked at each other, each with a raised eyebrow.
"It's for my new plumbing business. Mario and Luigi have gone on to rule the kingdoms, you've gone on to save the world and I decided to just carry on the family tradition. This stuff will unclog and deep clean any pipe you put it in. All you need to do is put some in then pour some boiling water in and whoop-dee-doo is it spectacular" said Wario.
"So what about the next emerald?" asked Waluigi.
"Oh that" chuckled Wario. "Well legend has it that it's in the core, at the very bottom of this mountain. Good luck getting it, we've been going at it for years"
"How is it that you've been going about getting this emerald?" asked Waluigi.
"Well it's so unstable that using explosives could render the mountain liable to an explosion that could perhaps destroy the world. So we send in miners in drill tanks to go and dig for anywhere with a gleaming light. The problem is that there are so many of those damn light holes that it's impossible to know which one might have it" said Wario.
"If I'm correct it should be in a pocket in a cave with glowing water" said Admiral Bobbery, who was looking at his map.
"Well there you go. There is a cave with glowing water, but it's pretty much impenetrable. We've tried everything safe" said Wario.
"Have you tried using the Shocking Powder?" asked Waluigi
"Too dangerous. Don't know what would happen if it seeps into the glow water" said Waluigi.
"Well the fate of the world is in our hands. We might as well try it" said Waluigi. Wario sighed and motioned his hand to lead them to the cave.
"Now brother. You are doing this at your own peril" said Wario as he buckled Waluigi into the drill tank.
"Well it's as if we've got another choice" said Waluigi. Wario locked the drill tank onto the platform and lowered the pulley cable carrying the drill bit down into the mountain. Waluigi began to drive it through various tunnels, searching for the glow cave. But after a while he had to turn his deep lights on as it was becoming darker and darker.
"Fuck this place is dark" muttered Waluigi. Eventually he found an area that was relatively impenetrable. He hopped out and pressed his ear against the rock and heard the sound of rushing water.
"AHA! This must be it!" he exclaimed happily. He switched off the machine and put his safety equipment on, and then he coated the drillbit with some Shocking Powder.
"Better hope this works" he breathed. He switched the machine back on and began drilling. Then suddenly, the rock began to dissolve revealing a bright green light and the ground began to shake.
"AGH" cried Waluigi as the light painfully blinded him and blew him back with so much force that he soiled himself.
At the top of the mine
"So then I said to her, well excuse me but you're not a princess and you don't get to tell me whether I can drink beer in the morning or not" said Wario.
"Argh that Mona's a feisty one isn't she" chuckled Admiral Bobbery. Then suddenly, without warning, a bright green beam of light fired out of the mountain turning the sky dark momentarily and sending a shockwave across the entire planet.
Meanwhile, in the throne room of King Boo's Mansion.
"So my darling wife, how is the spaghetti and meatballs" said King Boo, who was wearing a black robe with a bowtie.
"Mmm, the meatballs are flavorful but the spaghetti is a bit dry" said Queen Boo, the wife of King Boo, who was a beautiful pink boo.
"I told that Bootler to make sure that those damn chefs boil the pasta for longer" grunted King Boo.
"So my kingly husband, what is the jist with Bobby and Boo. Did they rescue Kooper?" asked Queen Boo.
"Oh yes, you could say that. How is Crescent" asked King Boo.
"Well up until he went on the rescue mission with Bobby he was doing quite so well. He started a trade in art museum with Bobby" said Queen Boo.
"Ooh, that sounds interesting. Perhaps I'll donate some of my old paintings that just aren't fitting for this place anymore" said King Boo. "You know, I think it's time that we got Bobby a wife. And I think I know just who would be a good suiter for him" said King Boo.
"Mmm I could say so too but he's never shown much of an interest in the ladies to be honest with you my dear" said Queen Boo.
Then, without warning, the night sky turned green and then a shockwave broke the windows and a massive surge of energy cut the power.
"What in Cramalot's name was that" said Queen Boo.
"Ah. Waluigi must have found the Emerald of Power" said King Boo. He adjusted his bowtie and took his robe off.
"Ahem, Bootler, will you be a helper and get a new window fitted. Then go and turn " King Boo called out.
"I most certainly will your grace" said Bootler.
"Now where was I" said King Boo. "Hmm, this dish is boring me. What do you say we go to my happy haunt for grilled cheeses and a tango"
"That sounds pleasant" smiled Queen Boo. King Boo took her by the hand and they left for the happy haunt.
In the Hot Zone of Yoshi's Island
"WHEW! That was a close call" breathed Tropix.
"You don't say" Boshi said sarcastically. "Now where's my thank you?"
"Your thank you will be this next task I am besetting upon you" smirked Tropix. Boshi pouted.
"Come on blue boi lighten up a bit" Tropix said as he patted Boshi on the cheek. He followed Tropix all the way up to a secret lookout at a tributary of the Weeping River with some equipment.
"What's this?" asked Boshi.
"Look closer. You've learn the lesson of teamwork and effort, now it's time for some bravery" grinned Tropix. Boshi gulped. To his perplexity was a diving suit and a harpoon gun mounted onto a machine gun. "You're gonna use that to get me some of the finest tasting fish that this island has to offer"
"And what fish would that be?" asked Boshi.
"You'll see" chucked Tropix. He threw Boshi off of the lookout and into river below.
"I thought that we used those things to avoid getting eaten in the river?" said Bosh as he put his diving suit on.
"Nup, that was so that the pirates didn't capture us" said Tropix.
"Well, here goes nothing" sighed Boshi as he descended downwards into the murky waters of the river.
"Hmm" Boshi pondered as he looked around. Then he saw it-a stripey fish with a hump on it's back.
"Ah. That must be the Striped Camelfish. I've had that before" wondered Boshi. Then before he knew it, a Goliath Toadfish came past and swallowed a crocodile whole. Boshi swum fast for the Striped Camelfish at the bottom of the river but not before being followed by the Goliath Toadfish, which was right on his tail.
"Shit" he muttered. He turned the machine gun around and began to obliterate the Goliath Toadfish. He aimed for the Striped Cattlefish before being swarmed by piranhas.
"Oh fuck" he said. Then he had a brilliant idea. He ate a very spicy burrito that he had been saving for a while in his hide and began to give off rancid farts, which repulsed the piranhas. He now had the Striped Camelfish in his sights, but it was extremely fast. He had to get it right, all it takes is one miss and he has failed the task. He then got another brilliant idea. He began to whistle a certain tune which calmed and immobilized the fish and then harpooned it.
"YES!" he said as he got a perfect shot. He resurfaced and tossed Tropix the gun with the fish on it.
"That was quick. Good job kid" said Tropix as he patted Boshi on the back.
"The only question is-how do we cook it?" asked Boshi.
3 hours later
"That sure smells good" said Boshi as he poked a stick at the fire.
"Well, I wasn't lying when I said that it is some of the finest fish that this island has to offer. Looks like's she's ready" said Tropix. He began to cut open the fish and remove the meat. "Ooh and it's got lots of eggs YUM!". Boshi gagged at this statement.
"Oh shut your piehole and try it" said Tropix as he force fed Boshi some caviar. Boshi slowly chewed it, trying his hardest not to vomit with each bite.
"Wow. That's actually pretty good" said Boshi.
"Told ya" said Tropix.
Meanwhile, at DK'S Condo
DK was having a nice slumber with his girlfriend Candy Kong, until something violently blasted through the condo, waking him up.
"Holy crap it's King K. Rool" said Candy Kong, who hid behind DK.
"DUCK" cried DK.
"COME OUT AND YOU WILL BE SPARED A PAINFUL DEATH" King K. Rool blasted through a megaphone.
"Quick, get down" said DK, ushering her to be quiet. They hid behind the smoker on the balcony as the kremlings searched the cabana top to bottom.
"Ok, on the count of three, run and hold on tight as we've only got one shot at this" said DK. Candy squinted at him, confused of his plan.
"Ok King K. Rool, here is the Crystal Coconut. It's in this banana pudding maker. It's been our family's secret hiding place for generations" said DK as he slid a pot out to the creepy Kremling.
"Ooh delightful. Alright, now I did say that you would be spared a painful death" King K. Rool began before hearing popping sounds.
"Hmm WAIT A MINUTE, THE CRYSTAL COCONUT CAN ONLY BE KEPT IN YOUR FATHER'S CABIN AND ARE THOSE FIRECRACKERS GAAAAAH" shouted King K. Rool. But by then DK and Candy had already made an escape, swinging from vine to vine of tree to tree, climbing for their lives. The Kremlings backed away then crouched down and covered their heads as the firecrackers went off inside the pot.
"AFTER THEM" hollered King K. Rool.
"Great escape DK. But wasn't that pot in your family for generations?" said Candy.
"Nah, that was a dud. Do you really think that I'd sacrifice that pot so easily. It's underneath the stump of the tree holding the cabana" said DK.
"But what about Cranky and Diddy, how do we warn the others of his arrival?" asked Candy.
"That's what were about to do" said DK.
On the Island of Power
"Son of a gun, what on earth is going on?" said Wario.
"Looks like he found what he was looking for matey" breathed Admiral Bobbery.
Waluigi was thrown towards the ground with incredible force, pounding into it face first.
"Ugh" he groaned. "Well. At least we have the emerald. Now what?"
"Now it is time for me to take you back to my villa to tell you about something, and part of that includes me giving you something for along the way" said Wario.
"Hmmph" grumbled Waluigi. Wario started up the minibus and Retainus followed behind. Eventually they reached a beautiful vista overlooking a series of smaller mountains outlining a beautiful sun cradled coastline. Wario signed into the security system with his fingerprint and they were immediately greeted with a blast of fresh air and the smell of brisket and garlic fries.
"Wow, nice crib you've got going here brother" nodded Waluigi.
"Hey honey. Oh you brung your brother and his friends" said Mona.
"Sit down guys" sighed Wario. All of them looked at Wario with serious glares.
"Waluigi, before dad died, he gave me a box with something in it. It was a firestarter. The Mushroom City North Platoon 3rd Brigade Fireflicker. He told me that it could light fires that would never go out an unlimited amount of times. He stressed that one day when the world is reduced to the basic instincts, that this would come in handy. I want you to have it" said Wario.
"I don't know what to say. This….. this is the last thing that gave to you" said a stunned Waluigi.
"He said that it always kept him safe during his tenure as a military police officer in the Mushroom City Civil War" said Wario. Waluigi held it in the palm of his hand, a tear shedding from his eye.
"Brother. You have had my back for so long now. I cannot thank you enough" said Waluigi as he hugged Wario. Admiral Bobbery and Retainus did not say a word as they left, both trying to hold back tears.
"You're saving the world now brother. You will need support from all of us along your journey. Oh, and by the way, it has settings to adjust how hot you want the fire to be and to start a fire you just aim it in the direction of where you want to ignite a fire and then you flick it" said Wario
"Good luck. I love you forever brother" smiled Wario who also could not help shedding tears as he patted Waluigi on the back.
"I love you forever too bro" said a tearful Waluigi as they embraced each other one last time before Waluigi left.
In the courtyard of Princess Peach's Castle
"Beautiful day ain't it princess" yawned Mario as he got off his sunchair, which was sat right next to Peach's
"It sure is Mario, it sure is" said Peach. Mario walked over to the BBQ, where Luigi was grilling meat.
"How're those sausages doing weegee?" asked Mario.
"Ah, they're getting there brother, they're getting there. I think this one is just about done. Yep, here you go" said Luigi as he placed a sausage in a bun for Mario then loaded it up with meatball and marinara sauce with some shredded cheese.
"Now this is what I call a sandwich, ain't that right Luigi?" said Mario.
"You couldn't be more wrong brother. This is a sandwich" said Luigi as he held up his diabolical creation. It was meatballs wrapped in smoked sausages, wrapped in pastrami, then a second layer which was that of triple smoked ham, wrapped in mortadella, then topped with salami, eggplant, black olives, green olives, artichoke and there was melted cheese and frozen custard throughout the entirety of the sandwich.
"Ugh it's disgusting, a heart attack, diabetes and a stroke all in one sandwich" said a quite apparently displeased Princess Peach as she ate her salad. Mario rolled his eyes.
"One of these days you'll find out about the beauty of food princess" chuckled Mario.
"Well I quite like this. You know, I think we should invite DK and Bobby over here. Whaddaya say Yosh?" asked Mario.
"DK loves BBQs especially when there is smoked brisket involved. No wonder he's always going over to Wario's. As for Bobby, well, he would like this whole thing of you know, getting together and having fun and whatnot, though I personally think that his tastes are a bit too exquisite for BBQs and sandwiches" said Yoshi.
"Not as exquisite as King Boo's, because every time I've had to go rescue you guys from him he's always had the fanciest dishes that money can buy served on his premises" said Luigi.
"Come to think of it when was the last time that he kidnapped us anyway" Mario said as he rubbed his chin. Then suddenly a black hole opened and King Boo dragged the plumbers, their precious princess and their green dinosaurs into it.
"You just had to say it didn't you" Yoshi frowned sarcastically.
Meanwhile, in the treetops of Kongo Bongo Island's jungles
"Where are we going DK!" Candy Kong demanded to know.
"Wherever we can Candy. Now shut up and let me think" DK said sternly.
"FASTER FASTER THEY'RE GETTING AWAY" said King K. Rool who was flying with his creepy Kremlings in a UFO.
"Shit, we don't have much space to hide said they're gaining on us" said a panicking DK. Then he had a brilliant idea! He grabbed one of the Milk Jellies off of the tree and tossed it in front of him, knowing that only King K. Rool would be foolish enough to believe that this was the Crystal Coconut. He made a detour and landed in a mud pool, with Candy on his back.
"UGH" she groaned.
"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP" hissed DK, pressing his finger against his lips to get her to remain quiet so that they would not give away their location. They then heard the buzzing of the UFO, and so they decided to dive underneath the mud pool and hold their breaths as it came past. To their surprise was an underground orangutan lodge.
"I thought that you guys were arboreal apes" said a puzzled DK.
"We are, but in dire times like this, we have a secret underground network to protect our peaceful society" said the orangutan leader. "Hi, my name is Slob. You must be DK, who we admire for your peaceful and firm ruling of the island"
"Pleasure to meet you Slob" said DK.
"You can see why I am called Slob. It's because I like to eat off of my belly with my hands and not off of a plate with forks and knives" said Slob.
"Oh ho ho Slob you are my guy" said DK as he fistbumped Slob. Candy then proceeded to slap DK in the face.
"What are we going to do about the others" said a worried Candy.
"There is a phone here connected to Cranky Kong's Cabin. Though I presume that by now they are well aware of the dire dilemma that we are stuck in" said Slob. Candy rung the number to the cabin and Cranky Kong picked up the phone on the other end of the line.
"Cranky. Cranky" whispered Candy.
"Oh Candy what a delight to hear from you my dear" Cranky began.
"Cranky we don't have much time, King K. Rool has ransacked the condo and is on the hunt for the Crystal Coconut. You must protect it and get Diddy and the others somewhere safe" said Candy.
"Alright, I know just where I will hide them and the Crystal Coconut. I was planning to hide them in the Temple of Bananas which Donkey King Kong is guarding" said Cranky.
"Well you'd better be quick about it because they will be at the cabin at any minute now" said Candy.
At the Turbulent City Research Station
"Well here we are, you are now with who are to be some of your biggest allies in this battle for the Emerald of Peace" said King Boo.
"Where are we" Princess Peach said suspiciously.
"This is an antarctic research station in the real world where we conduct research experiments and tests. It is our biggest insight to the real world and gives us a better understanding of its people" said King Boo.
"So who runs this place?" asked Mario.
"Well I own it but Bobby and the Infinity Boo were the primary researchers but now they oversee operations on this site by computer from the California Mansion as commanders" said King Boo.
"So where is Bobby?" asked Mario.
"Ahem. Bobby" said King Boo. Bobby, who was munching away on a bag of Flamin' Hot Funyuns, turned around to see them.
"Ah Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach. What a delight to see you. We now have Hal, Jeff, Kooper, Crescent, Max and Cornelius Milo here at the moment" said Bobby, hugging everyone to greet them. "So what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well I was thinking-" King Boo began before being cut off by the sound of a phone ringing.
"Hello" he said as he picked up the phone. "Hmm. Oh my. Well we'll have to do something about it straight away"
"Who was that?" asked Mario.
"Cranky Kong. He says that DK and Candy rung in from an underground orangutan lodge to warn him that the island is under attack from King K. Rool. I'll have to tend to that. Oh, but before I do, Bobby, there is someone I want you to meet" said King Boo. "Bring her in boys".
As soon as he said this, a green boo wearing a red and yellow ribbon on each side of her head. "Bobby, this is your suiter, Lady Bow. I have arranged a date for you two whilst the others discuss their plans and strategies"
"Well hello my pretty lady" said Bobby as he kissed her hand.
"Ooh" Lady Bow giggled as she blushed.
"A pleasure to meet you. Now let's hit the dancefloor!" said Bobby as he grabbed Lady Bow by the hand to dance in the disco room at the station.
"There is a dance floor here?" questioned Luigi.
"Luigi, when is there not a dance floor at one of my enterprises" said King Boo.
Well this chapter went really well. The bit with the emotional reunion between Wario and Waluigi came out beautifully and I plan to expand on Bobby's date with Lady Bow and Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Peach discussing their plans with Kooper, Hal, Jeff, Crescent, Max and Cornelius Milo. I also plan on writing a King Boo backstory chapter called Barry's Backstory. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
