Dark red clouds surrounded Bowser's Keep, as waves of water
splashed
against the small piece of rocky land, which held Bowser's mighty keep.
Even
though it was the middle of the afternoon, it was always dark there.
Lightning occasionally lit up the dark red sky. Bowser had just
returned from
trying another devious plan of his to take over the Mushroom Kingdom,
but as
usual, he was defeated by the Mario Bros. Bowser had had it all planned
out.
He would have swooped in on his Doomship, sent some of his flying
Para-Troopers down, grab the Princess, and take her back to the
Doomship,
where he would have held her hostage. He would've threatened the Mario
Bros.
by saying: "Surrender the kingdom over to me plumbers, or the Princess
will
meet and explosive demise in my Bob-bomb chamber!" But before he could
even
send down his flying troops, the Mario Bros. appeared out of nowhere,
flew up
to his Doomship with their Flying Caps, and fire balled the Doomship,
causing
it to wildly catch on fire. He tried to continue fighting, but parts of
the
Doomship were exploding and falling off. He had to retreat.
"Kamek!" Bowser roared, in an angry voice, as he slammed the
black
metal doors of his Keep.
"Yes...?" Kamek asked, peaking from down the
hallway. almost scared to face Bowser.
"Get down here, NOW!" Bowser
demanded.
Kamek came down the stairs, at the end of the hallway slowly.
"I assume
you
lost?" He asked, walking down the torch lighted hallway.
"Of course I
lost,
you idiot! Would I be yelling like this if I WON!?" Bowser madly
responded.
"Sir, please remember your blood pleasure! Here, take some of these
pills,
they'll help you relax." Kamek suggested, holding out a small orange
bottle,
which contained tablets.
"Do I look like I need pills!? What I need is
a
plumber-proof plan!" Bowser continued, as he began to walk down the
blueish-grey hallway. "What I need is the powers, that those pesky
plumbers
get from those Caps!" Bowser said, turning to Kamek.
"But you already tried something similar to that! Remember, that
junky
jewel your Koopa Kids developed." Kamek said, walking towards Bowser.
"Well,
since I misplaced those brats somewhere; Kamek, it's your job to find a
way
to get me those powers the faucet freaks have!" Bowser ordered, then
began
walking up the stairs towards his Throne Room. Kamek sighed, then
walked off
towards his spell room, where he could look up a spell or something in
his
age-old magic books, or conjure up a potion.
. Princess Toadstool had
decided
to hold a special dinner in the Mario Bros. honor, at her Royal Castle.
All
the Mushroom people from the villages were invited. The special dinner
was
held in the Banquet Hall, where it was all decorated. Most of the
Mushroom
people had shown up, and two very long tables were needed, as well as
some
speakers that had to be attached to the wall, so that the people at the
far
end of the room could hear who was speaking. The Mushroom Chef's had
their
hands full. Cooking for all the Mushroom people was not a problem, it
was
cooking enough food for Mario, that was the problem!
The Chancellor stood up behind the podium, on the far side of the
room.
He cleared his throat before speaking into the speaker. "Hello
everyone! We
are gathered here to rejoice, for the Mario Bros. have once again
defeated
the evil King Koopa, and put his Doomship out of commission. But we are
not
here to just celebrate "another victory", we are here to declare an
official
holiday: "The Super Mario Brothers Super Holiday Extravaganza!" The
Chancellor said with pure enthusiasm, as a huge orange curtain rolled
down
from the ceiling, revealing the new holiday name, and a picture of both
Mario
and Luigi's faces, who were now blushing at the front of the table.
Clapping
and whistling from both of the ends of the room could be heard. "From
now on,
on this day, parties, celebrations and more will take place all over
the
glorious Mushroom Kingdom!" The Chancellor finished, as he stepped
down,
signaling the Mario Bros. to come up and make a speech.
It took a little coaxing, from both the Princess and the
Chancellor,
but soon, both Mario and Luigi were standing on stage, in front of the
cheering crowd. Mario spoke first. "This is a really great honor, I
mean, it
really doesn't take much to defeat such a weak and pathetic coward,
like
Bowser." Mario began, but Luigi interrupted.
"We really don't deserve
this.."
Luigi began, but Mario cut in.
"Hah Hah! My brother is just too
modest! I've faced my fair share of weak and puny evil doers, Wart, Wario, and
Tatangela for example." Mario continued on and on, he seemed to have
lost his
"nervousness" to come up on stage.
. Kamek had returned to his Sorcerers
Room,
and had been searching through his many magic books, looking for any
slightest hint on how to get Bowser the powers he needed to defeat the
Mario
Bros. once and for all. He had to look carefully, as the print in the
books
was becoming unreadable, since the books were all original copies. He
set
down one book on a table, which he had finished skimming through, and
reached
for a very old and dusty book.
"Not just anyone can be a hero, however! It takes great courage
and
determination to save a Princess, and defeat the evil villain!" Mario
was
going on and on, until Luigi shoved him out of the way, and said a
simple
"Thank you."
"Well, that was an....a, an interesting and very exciting
speech
Mario!" The Chancellor spoke, as he returned to the podium. Loud
snoring
could be heard throughout the room.
Bowser was stomping back and forth
in his
Throne Room, mumbling to himself, when suddenly the door swung open,
revealing Kamek and a book held high. "Good news King Bowser. I have
finally
found the spell you desired!" Kamek said as he entered the room.
"Great!
Now get going and wave that wand of yours!" Bowser ordered.
"It's not
that
simple. This is not something I can just "cast" on you. I need to
collect
five of the mystical cap blocks, then combined them in a spell." Kamek
finished, as he set his spell book down on a table.
"Huh? Five blocks?" Kamek, there are only three!" Bowser said,
taking a
minute to think.
"Mario only found THREE of the cap switches, he never
entered the secret area in the castle!" Kamek responded. "I thought you
knew?" He then added.
"Of...Of..Of course I knew!" Bowser said, trying
to
cover up not knowing what Kamek was talking about. "Refresh my memory!"
He
then said.
"There is a Fire Flower Cap, and a Star Cap." Kamek
answered.
"What does the Star Cap do again?" Bowser asked.
"It lets you shoot
multiple
golden stars, very powerful and devastating to the unprotected victim."
Kamek
paused for a second, then went on. "When I combine these powers, they
will be
transferred to your crown. As long as you wear it, you will have all
these
powers. You could even combine the powers into "new" powers. All you
would
have to say is "Wing Cap" or "Metal Cap", or "Wing Metal Cap", and you
get
those powers!" Kamek finally finished, taking a huge breathe of the
humid
air.
"Excellent! With those powers, I will easily take out those
annoying
plumbers, and take control of the whole Kingdom! Mwa Hah Hah Hah!"
