Chapter 6: Separate Paths
As the rubble flew by, the Destroyer stood where he unleashed his attack on the once standing Pop Star. A deep satisfaction slid across his face as he surveyed the void. Instantly, the insatiable desire for more destruction filled his being. More worlds must die. More people must suffer…as he suffers. He pointed his attention southward in the galaxy. Perhaps suffering could be found there.

Krystal’s Arwing was spinning out of control through space. She tried to get the ship back under her control, but her attempts failed. Everything was moving so fast, just seconds ago she was with her friends fighting a good fight, now she had no clue where she was. A distant planet grew closer and closer. The inevitable was going to happen. She was about to crash land on a strange planet. Once the ship got into the atmosphere, she grabbed her staff from behind the seat and ejected from the pilot’s seat. Her parachute opened and she began to fall slowly to the ground. She observed the landscape around her. It was a dense jungle with the occasional mountain, lake and a vast ocean to the west. She watched as the Arwing crashed into the side of a mountain just above the opening of a cave.
She fell through the trees and landed near a lake with an old fashioned wooden ship on it. Suddenly, several alligators appeared from the trees and water.
Krystal: “Oh hi, my name is Krystal. I’m not from here”
But before she could explain further, a large alligator with a helmet yelled out.
General: “CHARGE”
All of the alligators began to rush at her, snapping their jaws, shooting coconuts, and throwing grenades.
Krystal: “Hmm…not friendly are you?”
She twirled her staff to deflect the grenades which were sent towards a small group of Klap Traps. The explosion killed several and sent other running away. She then ran towards the large group at her. Using the staff, she jumped into the air and into the middle of the fray. The Staff was planted hard into the ground as she swung herself around kicking the enemies sending them flying. She then picked her staff back up to deflect the coconuts shooting her way. They ricocheted back towards the shooter. There were still a group of Klap Traps left and 2 large bomb throwers. She picked up the Coconut Gun and shot the generals which sent them flying back into the jungle. Blasting a few more coconuts at the group of Klap Traps, she made her way over to the unused bombs that the Generals used. She pulled the pin of 5 grenades and tossed them at the remaining Klap Traps. The explosion wasted the rest of the enemies.
As she observed the surrounding area, she heard a menacing laugh from the ship. She swam over to the anchor’s rope and began to climb. The deck of the ship was deserted except for the residue of banana peels. This was a very strange sight to her. She made her way to the open window straight ahead. As she looked in she observed the strangest sight she had seen since landing here. A large alligator with a crown was standing holding a musket rifle. His target was a small monkey in a red hat. This monkey was holding two wooden guns similar to the coconut gun she saw earlier.
King K.Rool: “HAHAHA So Diddy, you have made it this far, but you will not save Dixie or Donkey Kong. You cannot beat me or my power, especially with that pathetic Peanut shooter.”
K. Rool hit a button on the side of the wall, and a segment of the wall behind him slid open to reveal a small female monkey and a large gorilla chained and trapped in cells.
K. Rool: “Why don’t you be a good little crap tosser and give up. You’ll make an excellent addition to my collection of you good for nothing heroes”
Diddy began to shake as he pointed his Peanut Guns at K. Rool. But before he could react, K Rool shouted in rage and shot the musket. This was the moment to intervene. Krystal burst through the door and threw her staff at the large spiked bullet. The magic in her staff sent the bullet flying in another direction. Both Diddy Kong and King K. Rool stared at her.
Krystal: “I don’t know WHO you think you are, but I’m afraid I’m not going to let you do this. Not without a fight!”
K. Rool: “Then a fight it will be. Attack me either together or one at a time, which ever you choose! You’re no match for me” (pulls out his jet pack and puts it on)
Krystal (walks over to Diddy and picks up her staff): “Prepare to get your @$$ handed to you!”

As Falco’s Arwing few uncontrollably through space, he beat the console swearing loudly. How long would it be before he landed somewhere, and why in the heck aren’t the controls turning back on? He was speeding towards a planet fast. He entered the hotter and normal atmosphere. As he looked out the windows he notices large castles, flat battlefields, and a lot of fire fields. His ship was speeding toward a giant wall. Falco tried to eject from his seat, but the top of the Arwing was melted to the bottom. He chuckled when he found this out, because he would in essence be a sitting duck. He took out some paper and wrote that down to tell Slippy later. The wall was coming closer until he crashed straight into it. The force of the crash broke open the ship and Falco fell onto the ground. Within seconds he was surrounded by iron clad warriors with swords pointing at him from all sides. Falco stood on his feet to have the swords follow his head.
Falco: “WOAH man…didn’t mean to drop in, but….d**n.”
Guard: “I am the royal guard to the King. By royal decree, any intruders in the city must have an audience with him. Present your weapons…um…bird”
Falco: “ON NO I don’t think that’s happening”
Falco pulled out his blaster, jumped high into the air and began to shoot. This was the wrong thing to do. Before he could figure out what was happening, a thousand arrows began flying his way as all the warriors ran towards him. Falco pulled out his reflector to stop the arrows then began to shoot at the solders. He thought he was doing well till a large knight appeared behind him and hit him in the head with the hilt of his sword. Falco fell out cold.
Guard: “Take his weapons, and drag him before the King”
Several knights did as they were ordered and took away Falco’s Blaster and Reflector. They drug his unconscious body to the royal throne room and threw him down. Before the King.
Guard: “Wake him, the King wishes to speak to him”
The same large guard that knocked him out, stood Falco up and hit him in the stomach. The blow of this made him stir back into consciousness. He stood teetering on the spot in a world of pain. He wasn’t aware of anyone in the room till the king spoke.
King: “FALCO?!”
Falco looked up at the voice. It was a young man with blue hair and a long silver sword.
Falco :”MARTH?! What the hell man!! There was no need for all that crap:
Marth: “Sorry Falco! Guards, this bird is a friend. Please return his weapons and do him no harm. Come here Falco, let’s walk. I have much to tell you.”
Falco followed down a hallway after retrieving his weapons and flipping off the large guard.
Falco: “So…what’s all the high security about man?”
Marth: “Well, we are in the middle of a war.”
Falco. “That’s surprising….NOT” (Marth laughed a little)
Marth: “This time it’s different. The Black Knight has many more men than normal. Roy, Ike and I are trying the hardest we can. The Black Knight has a new allythis time. It is some sort of wooden puppet with great power.”
Falco: “WOAH WHAT!!! A puppet? Oh boy do I have a story for you!”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fox was amazingly calm about his current situation of flying uncontrolibly through space. His thoughts were not on himself, but rather Kirby, Krystal and the other members of Team Star Fox. What had become of them? Perhaps if he could land on a planet, He could contact them. See if they are ok. He began to plunge into an planet’s atmosphere. It was a very strange planet with several different regions. He started hitting buttons as fast as he could, but it did no good, he was going to crash. He ejected from the ship and watched as the ship crashed into a grassy field. He landed and immediately ran to the ship to retrieve the radio out of it. He pulled out the radio and the back up battery from the front before the ship exploded. He wired the radio to the battery and began trying to find his friends.
Fox: “Krystal can you read me? Falco…come in falco! Slippy what’s your 20? Peppy…call to me peppy...nothing”
He tossed the radio to the side and turned around to be face to face with a red winged dragon who growled menacingly.
Fox: “This can’t end well”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Several miles away on the top of a mountain a small yellow rat began to jump up and down as he looked out over the land
Pichu: “Pichu Pi Pi Pich Pichuuuuu!”
Mewtwo appeared beside him looking concerned.
Mewtwo: “Hmm..You saw WHAT?
Pichu : “Pi pichu pi pi!”
Mewtwo: “Are you sure?”
Pichu: “Pi!”
Mewtwo (looking concerned): “What could it have been? Hmm…something flying from space. I know it’s not Deoxys. I would have sensed him. This is something different. This isn’t good….this isn’t good at all!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Fox stood face to face with the beast, he inched his hand towards his blaster. Catching the movement, the Charizard blasted fire at Fox. He jumped back and began to shoot at Charizard, but the pokemon was too fast for the blaster. He picked up Fox and flew into the air. Charizard spun around in the air and made a nose dive to slam Fox to the Ground. He then roared into the air and breathed more fire in Fox’s Direction.
Fox: “Well, two can play at that!”
Fox used his Fox fire to shoot into the air. As soon as he got to the peak of his flight he used his blaster to shoot at Charizard. Charizard shot a Fire Blast at fox which barely missed. As they both landed on the ground, Fox heard a voice
Voice: “Charizard Return!:
A red beam hit the Charizard, and he disappeared. Fox was bewildered at where his enemy went. A young man appeared from behind a tree. He was a human with a hat on and dirty looking clothes.
Blue: “Hi, my name’s Blue. I’m a Pokemon Trainer. Sorry my Charizard tried to train on you. What are…..i’m sorry…Who are you?”
Fox: “My name is Fox McCloud. I have crash landed here when I was attacked from several miles away.”
Blue: “Who was it?”
Fox: “A terrible evil, it’s going to try to kill all of the worlds. He has already destroyed one planet in our galaxy. And I’m sure he’s moving on to another.”
Blue (looking terrified): “Do you think it’s coming here?”
Fox: “I’m sure of it.”
Blue: “We need to warn everyone! We need to somehow defend the planet for the pokemon. I have an idea. We need to tell Metwto! He probably already knows you are here”
Fox: “We need to hurry. Do you know the way?”
Blue: “Just follow me. I know exactly where he is”
As the two of them sped off towards the northern mountains, Fox’s thoughts were still on Krystal and Kirby. He would kill himself if the others didn’t make it.
Chapter 7: The Toad’s Tale
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was pacing back and forth in his quarters waiting for the toad to regain consciousness. Peach watched as Professor E. Gadd looked him over. Luigi sat in the floor looking nervous while Bowser, Bowser Jr, and Kamek stood in the corner not sure if they should even be there.
Peach: “Professor, do you think he will be fine?”
E. Gadd: “My dear, I think he will be fine. Perhaps some of my special formula can give him a boost”
The professor pulled out a small bottle of potion. When he unplugged it a strange fume emitted from the top. Noticing the look of concern on everyone’s face, E. Gadd decided to explain further.
E. Gadd: “This isn’t anything harmful….i hope. This potion is designed to fully heal someone, even if they are about to pass on. So far my experiments have worked…but…I have only performed them on a couple goombas.”
He tipped the bottle over to pour a small amount on the toad. Instantly, the toad jumped straight up and screamed. Bowser’s eye’s got wide while giving a greedy look and Luigi fell over in surprise. Mario rushed over to the bed as Peach tried to calm the toad down. Peach held him in her arms till his panic was over. She lay him down on the bed. Shaking, he looked around at his surroundings, and once he recognized the place his eyes met Mario.
Toad: “MARIO! I have serious news to tell you. Something desperately wrong is going on.:
Mario: “Tell us everything you know”
The toad took a deep breath and began his story.
“Well, I was waking around the mushroom kingdom. I heard a rumor that a new type of turnip had been seen. I wanted to get one and grow some in the back garden. (Kamek shot a nervous look at Bowser and his son, which was unnoticed by the others)
I was walking along minding my own business when I saw a small grouping of gold and red plant stems. I thought that surely these were the new turnips I had heard of. I made my way over to them and began to pull one out of the ground. When I did, I felt weird, like a strong power was coming from them. Perhaps these turnips had some special hidden powerful properties.
I pulled out a few more till suddenly to my surprise, a Hammer Bro jumped from behind a bush. He slammed down his hammer right beside me and then swung it at me. I ran for it, but got cornered by a group of bushes with sharp thorns. As he drew in closer with his hammer I feared for my life. He looked very angry. Raising his hammer he asked why I was stealing his turnips. I told him that I didn’t realize they were his, I had heard there were wild ones around. I apologized for picking the turnips, but he didn’t think that was enough. He whistled into the air to have a group of koopas and a few goombas pulling a cannon on a very large kart. The koopas began to pull up the turnips and place them into the kart. As I observed them taking the turnips, the Hammer Bro called for two of his koopas to stop and come assist him. He explained to the koopas his anger at me, and asked if they would take care of the problem.
They walked over and picked me up off the ground. I struggled to get out of their grasp. As they held me, they stopped to observe the other koopa’s goofing off. One was dancing on top of the cannon waving a turnip; another was jumping up and down on the kart, while the rest were laughing. When the first one fell into the cannon hole, the rest roared with laughter. The koopa’s holding me loosened their grip. That was my chance to strike. I broke free and kicked the koopa to my left. This sent him into his shell and flying across the field. He struck the cannon. Before anyone could react, the cannon blasted sending the koopa, the turnip and a bullet bill into the woods.
The pack panicked! The koopa to my right grabbed ahold of me yelling at me. The one I kicked joined and grabbed me as well. The Hammer Bro shouted to his team that The Bullet Bill ran into Geno’s Forest and that they needed to get out of there before he came. The koopas grabbed ahold of the kart and began to pull. The Hammer Bro jumped on the back of it, but the two koopas holding me hollered to the Hammer Bro that they would take care of me then catch up.
As the group sped out of sight, the koopas began to punch and kick me. I thought i was a gonner. Then suddenly a rustling from the forest made them stop. They looked up in fear to see Geno rushing out of the trees screaming. I could feel the same power that I felt from the turnip from him. The koopas dropped me but couldn’t get away, Geno was amazingly fast. He began to pummel them shouting about his ruined house and the koopa guts in his forest. He threw them to the ground and jumped back to finish them when two blasts of black energy came from the side and pulverized the koopas.
Surprised, Geno and I whipped our head towards the woods. A large dark figure shrouded in a cloak appeared. I have never seen anything so scary in my life. He approached slowly and silently. I stood up to run but he shot a blast my way. I went flying through the air towards the castle. I landed several yards away and looked towards the woods to see a cloud of darkness. I thought surely Geno must have been destroyed as the koopas. I knew I needed to tell you immediately. As I made my way to the castle, I heard a rushing sound. I looked up to see the Dark figure flying towards space with Geno following. There was something different about Geno. He had a black aura surrounding him and his eyes appeared red.”
The toad looked out the window. The memories of the experience had made him shaky. He looked towards the concerned crowd around him.
Peach: “You poor thing. You’ve been through so much today”
Toad: “I tried to get here sooner. I’m sorry”
Mario: “Don’t be! You did the best you could. Thank you for telling me. Stay here as long as you need to get back on your feet.”
Mario and Luigi rounded on their visitors in the corner.
Luigi: “So Bowser..just-a what exactly are these turnips and what do you want with them?”
Bowser Jr.: “What business is it of yours? It’s not like we’re doing anything with them yet.”
Kamek: “Shut your mouth Jr. Don’t give away too much information”
Mario: “Bowser, tell us what you are planning. Weren’t you listening to what this toad said? Obviously this new stranger is more powerful than us. We might need this new technology to help us.”
Kamek: “Master, do not forget the plan. Don’t fall for the trickeries of this plumber.”
Bowser stood in the corner thinking so hard he began to sweat. He wanted to harness the power of these new super turnips to destroy the Mario brothers, but yet he felt a need to stop this evil being. He was intimidated by the power of this shrouded stranger as told by this toad. Then he remembered something; something that he wanted.
Bowser: “Ok Mario, I will show you what we’ve been planning with these turnips…..but I want something in return. Hahahaha.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the shot rang out, the cars zoomed out of sight. The F-Zero race had begun. In front was the Black Shadow, followed by Samurai Goroh , then Captain Falcon. As they raced across the track, sliding, spinning and boosting along, Samurai Goroh found it harder and harder to keep up. Captain Falcon was right beside him when the communication bridge opened. It was Falcon.
Falcon: “Hey there fat boy! Just give it up or show me your moves!”
Goroh: “I’ll show you some moves, nipples. Take this!”
Goroh ran his racer in a sideways spin at Falcon, but the Captain hit the brakes in time for Goroh to pass by. Pleased with himself he addressed the irritated Goroh
Falcon: “Is that the best you can do boy?”
Goroh (now furious): “You’ll never get past me!”
He put his racer into a death spin towards falcon. Again, the captain hit the brakes. As Goroh passed by, disaster struck. He hit a booster pad and went spinning out of control towards the side rail. As he struck the side rail, it broke, letting his racer fly on out into the terrain. Samurai Goroh yelled as he disappeared.
Goroh: “Curse you!”
Now was Captain Falcon’s chance. If he could only beat the Black Shadow, he would not only win the Championship but stop Black Shadow’s evil plans. As the Black Shadow raced on, far ahead of everyone else, he laughed to himself. The winner of the race would gain 10 million dollars. With his winnings, he would build the device he had been planning for years. It was a laser that could destroy large sections of space to create a hole in time and space. If he could destroy this world and find power on the other side of the portal, he would be unstoppable. He floored the gas as he sped around the corners and through the pipes. His whole plan was dependent on chance, as well as dependent on Falcon failing.
As he sped down the track, he thought he was far ahead of the competition, but then something struck him with horror. A voice came over his communicator. It was Captain Falcon.
Falcon: “Thought you could win this one huh?”
Black Shadow: “Don’t be so proud, little bird. Your championship run is over. I will be victorious”
As the finish line approached, Falcon and Black Shadow were side by side. One false move could cost the entire run. Closer and closer the finish line approached. Suddenly Black Shadow had an idea. He rammed his racer into Falcon’s. Falcon was sent flying to the side. Black Shadow laughed knowing that the race was won, but once again, he was mistaken. Captain Falcon reacted quickly and spun his racer. Spinning violently, it struck Black Shadow’s racer. The blow was too much and sent the racer flying into a rock where it exploded. As Captain Falcon crossed the finish line, a crowd of fans greeted him. He stood on top of his racer in full glory. As he stepped down he heard the Black Shadow yell.
Black Shadow: “I WILL KILL YOU!!”
He was burned and bloody as he ran at Captain Falcon with his fists high. Falcon reacted instinctively.
Falcon: “FALCON………………………..PUNCH!”
The attack hit Black Shadow square in the face sending his body soaring through the air. When he landed, he lifted his broken face to see Falcon standing beside him.
Falcon: “Stay down…and get out!”
Black Shadow got up on his feet, defeated and broken, and hobbled away. As night fell, Black Shadow was cleaning his wounds and re-building his racer in his lab. As the pain seared through his body he cried out.
Black Shadow: “WHY? I was so close to domination. Why did that d**n Falcon defeat me? I would do anything to beat him, to kill him, and this world. I would give anything…..ANYTHING:
Voice: “Anything?”
Black Shadow looked up in fear. He didn’t know of another presence in his lab. A tall figure stepped out of the darkness. He was cloaked completely and surrounded by a black aura. He reached out his hand toward Black Shadow.
Destroyer: “You say you will give anything for revenge?”
Black Shadow: “Yes….anything.”
Destroyer: “Then I suggest a trade….I will give you power beyond your imagination in return for your alliegance to me.”
Black Shadow reached out his hand to shake The Destroyer’s. When he did, a strange power flowed through his veins. He fell to the floor, but when the surge stopped, he felt complete, victorious, and powerful. He was shrouded in a black aura, and his eyes glowed red.
Black Shadow: “Master…I will do as you command.”Destroyer: “I command that you build the weapon you have been dreaming of. Here…i will provide the raw materials. (He shot energy towards to corner for a mass of metal and electric equiptment to appear) Get to work.”
Black Shadow: “I shall not disappoint you.”

As Falco’s Arwing few uncontrollably through space, he beat the console swearing loudly. How long would it be before he landed somewhere, and why in the heck aren’t the controls turning back on? He was speeding towards a planet fast. He entered the hotter and normal atmosphere. As he looked out the windows he notices large castles, flat battlefields, and a lot of fire fields. His ship was speeding toward a giant wall. Falco tried to eject from his seat, but the top of the Arwing was melted to the bottom. He chuckled when he found this out, because he would in essence be a sitting duck. He took out some paper and wrote that down to tell Slippy later.

Falco followed down a hallway after retrieving his weapons and flipping off the large guard.

Marth: “Well, we are in the middle of a war.”

As Fox stood face to face with the beast, he inched his hand towards his blaster. Catching the movement, the Charizard blasted fire at Fox. He jumped back and began to shoot at Charizard, but the pokemon was too fast for the blaster. He picked up Fox and flew into the air. Charizard spun around in the air and made a nose dive to slam Fox to the Ground. He then roared into the air and breathed more fire in Fox’s Direction.
Fox: “Well, two can play at that!”
Fox used his Fox fire to shoot into the air. As soon as he got to the peak of his flight he used his blaster to shoot at Charizard. Charizard shot a Fire Blast at fox which barely missed. As they both landed on the ground, Fox heard a voice
Voice: “Charizard Return!:
A red beam hit the Charizard, and he disappeared. Fox was bewildered at where his enemy went. A young man appeared from behind a tree. He was a human with a hat on and dirty looking clothes.
Blue: “Hi, my name’s Blue. I’m a Pokemon Trainer. Sorry my Charizard tried to train on you. What are…..i’m sorry…Who are you?”
Fox: “My name is Fox McCloud. I have crash landed here when I was attacked from several miles away.”
Blue: “Who was it?”
Fox: “A terrible evil, it’s going to try to kill all of the worlds. He has already destroyed one planet in our galaxy. And I’m sure he’s moving on to another.”
Blue (looking terrified): “Do you think it’s coming here?”
Fox: “I’m sure of it.”
Blue: “We need to warn everyone! We need to somehow defend the planet for the pokemon. I have an idea. We need to tell Metwto! He probably already knows you are here”
Fox: “We need to hurry. Do you know the way?”
Blue: “Just follow me. I know exactly where he is”
As the two of them sped off towards the northern mountains, Fox’s thoughts were still on Krystal and Kirby. He would kill himself if the others didn’t make it.
Chapter 7: The Toad’s Tale
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario was pacing back and forth in his quarters waiting for the toad to regain consciousness. Peach watched as Professor E. Gadd looked him over. Luigi sat in the floor looking nervous while Bowser, Bowser Jr, and Kamek stood in the corner not sure if they should even be there.
Peach: “Professor, do you think he will be fine?”
E. Gadd: “My dear, I think he will be fine. Perhaps some of my special formula can give him a boost”
The professor pulled out a small bottle of potion. When he unplugged it a strange fume emitted from the top. Noticing the look of concern on everyone’s face, E. Gadd decided to explain further.
E. Gadd: “This isn’t anything harmful….i hope. This potion is designed to fully heal someone, even if they are about to pass on. So far my experiments have worked…but…I have only performed them on a couple goombas.”
He tipped the bottle over to pour a small amount on the toad. Instantly, the toad jumped straight up and screamed. Bowser’s eye’s got wide while giving a greedy look and Luigi fell over in surprise. Mario rushed over to the bed as Peach tried to calm the toad down. Peach held him in her arms till his panic was over. She lay him down on the bed. Shaking, he looked around at his surroundings, and once he recognized the place his eyes met Mario.
Toad: “MARIO! I have serious news to tell you. Something desperately wrong is going on.:
Mario: “Tell us everything you know”
The toad took a deep breath and began his story.
“Well, I was waking around the mushroom kingdom. I heard a rumor that a new type of turnip had been seen. I wanted to get one and grow some in the back garden. (Kamek shot a nervous look at Bowser and his son, which was unnoticed by the others)
I was walking along minding my own business when I saw a small grouping of gold and red plant stems. I thought that surely these were the new turnips I had heard of. I made my way over to them and began to pull one out of the ground. When I did, I felt weird, like a strong power was coming from them. Perhaps these turnips had some special hidden powerful properties.
I pulled out a few more till suddenly to my surprise, a Hammer Bro jumped from behind a bush. He slammed down his hammer right beside me and then swung it at me. I ran for it, but got cornered by a group of bushes with sharp thorns. As he drew in closer with his hammer I feared for my life. He looked very angry. Raising his hammer he asked why I was stealing his turnips. I told him that I didn’t realize they were his, I had heard there were wild ones around. I apologized for picking the turnips, but he didn’t think that was enough. He whistled into the air to have a group of koopas and a few goombas pulling a cannon on a very large kart. The koopas began to pull up the turnips and place them into the kart. As I observed them taking the turnips, the Hammer Bro called for two of his koopas to stop and come assist him. He explained to the koopas his anger at me, and asked if they would take care of the problem.
They walked over and picked me up off the ground. I struggled to get out of their grasp. As they held me, they stopped to observe the other koopa’s goofing off. One was dancing on top of the cannon waving a turnip; another was jumping up and down on the kart, while the rest were laughing. When the first one fell into the cannon hole, the rest roared with laughter. The koopa’s holding me loosened their grip. That was my chance to strike. I broke free and kicked the koopa to my left. This sent him into his shell and flying across the field. He struck the cannon. Before anyone could react, the cannon blasted sending the koopa, the turnip and a bullet bill into the woods.
The pack panicked! The koopa to my right grabbed ahold of me yelling at me. The one I kicked joined and grabbed me as well. The Hammer Bro shouted to his team that The Bullet Bill ran into Geno’s Forest and that they needed to get out of there before he came. The koopas grabbed ahold of the kart and began to pull. The Hammer Bro jumped on the back of it, but the two koopas holding me hollered to the Hammer Bro that they would take care of me then catch up.
As the group sped out of sight, the koopas began to punch and kick me. I thought i was a gonner. Then suddenly a rustling from the forest made them stop. They looked up in fear to see Geno rushing out of the trees screaming. I could feel the same power that I felt from the turnip from him. The koopas dropped me but couldn’t get away, Geno was amazingly fast. He began to pummel them shouting about his ruined house and the koopa guts in his forest. He threw them to the ground and jumped back to finish them when two blasts of black energy came from the side and pulverized the koopas.
Surprised, Geno and I whipped our head towards the woods. A large dark figure shrouded in a cloak appeared. I have never seen anything so scary in my life. He approached slowly and silently. I stood up to run but he shot a blast my way. I went flying through the air towards the castle. I landed several yards away and looked towards the woods to see a cloud of darkness. I thought surely Geno must have been destroyed as the koopas. I knew I needed to tell you immediately. As I made my way to the castle, I heard a rushing sound. I looked up to see the Dark figure flying towards space with Geno following. There was something different about Geno. He had a black aura surrounding him and his eyes appeared red.”
The toad looked out the window. The memories of the experience had made him shaky. He looked towards the concerned crowd around him.
Peach: “You poor thing. You’ve been through so much today”
Toad: “I tried to get here sooner. I’m sorry”
Mario: “Don’t be! You did the best you could. Thank you for telling me. Stay here as long as you need to get back on your feet.”
Mario and Luigi rounded on their visitors in the corner.
Luigi: “So Bowser..just-a what exactly are these turnips and what do you want with them?”
Bowser Jr.: “What business is it of yours? It’s not like we’re doing anything with them yet.”
Kamek: “Shut your mouth Jr. Don’t give away too much information”
Mario: “Bowser, tell us what you are planning. Weren’t you listening to what this toad said? Obviously this new stranger is more powerful than us. We might need this new technology to help us.”
Kamek: “Master, do not forget the plan. Don’t fall for the trickeries of this plumber.”
Bowser stood in the corner thinking so hard he began to sweat. He wanted to harness the power of these new super turnips to destroy the Mario brothers, but yet he felt a need to stop this evil being. He was intimidated by the power of this shrouded stranger as told by this toad. Then he remembered something; something that he wanted.
Bowser: “Ok Mario, I will show you what we’ve been planning with these turnips…..but I want something in return. Hahahaha.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the shot rang out, the cars zoomed out of sight. The F-Zero race had begun. In front was the Black Shadow, followed by Samurai Goroh , then Captain Falcon. As they raced across the track, sliding, spinning and boosting along, Samurai Goroh found it harder and harder to keep up. Captain Falcon was right beside him when the communication bridge opened. It was Falcon.
Falcon: “Hey there fat boy! Just give it up or show me your moves!”
Goroh: “I’ll show you some moves, nipples. Take this!”
Goroh ran his racer in a sideways spin at Falcon, but the Captain hit the brakes in time for Goroh to pass by. Pleased with himself he addressed the irritated Goroh
Falcon: “Is that the best you can do boy?”
Goroh (now furious): “You’ll never get past me!”
He put his racer into a death spin towards falcon. Again, the captain hit the brakes. As Goroh passed by, disaster struck. He hit a booster pad and went spinning out of control towards the side rail. As he struck the side rail, it broke, letting his racer fly on out into the terrain. Samurai Goroh yelled as he disappeared.
Goroh: “Curse you!”
Now was Captain Falcon’s chance. If he could only beat the Black Shadow, he would not only win the Championship but stop Black Shadow’s evil plans. As the Black Shadow raced on, far ahead of everyone else, he laughed to himself. The winner of the race would gain 10 million dollars. With his winnings, he would build the device he had been planning for years. It was a laser that could destroy large sections of space to create a hole in time and space. If he could destroy this world and find power on the other side of the portal, he would be unstoppable. He floored the gas as he sped around the corners and through the pipes. His whole plan was dependent on chance, as well as dependent on Falcon failing.
As he sped down the track, he thought he was far ahead of the competition, but then something struck him with horror. A voice came over his communicator. It was Captain Falcon.
Falcon: “Thought you could win this one huh?”
Black Shadow: “Don’t be so proud, little bird. Your championship run is over. I will be victorious”
As the finish line approached, Falcon and Black Shadow were side by side. One false move could cost the entire run. Closer and closer the finish line approached. Suddenly Black Shadow had an idea. He rammed his racer into Falcon’s. Falcon was sent flying to the side. Black Shadow laughed knowing that the race was won, but once again, he was mistaken. Captain Falcon reacted quickly and spun his racer. Spinning violently, it struck Black Shadow’s racer. The blow was too much and sent the racer flying into a rock where it exploded. As Captain Falcon crossed the finish line, a crowd of fans greeted him. He stood on top of his racer in full glory. As he stepped down he heard the Black Shadow yell.
Black Shadow: “I WILL KILL YOU!!”
He was burned and bloody as he ran at Captain Falcon with his fists high. Falcon reacted instinctively.
Falcon: “FALCON………………………..PUNCH!”
The attack hit Black Shadow square in the face sending his body soaring through the air. When he landed, he lifted his broken face to see Falcon standing beside him.
Falcon: “Stay down…and get out!”
Black Shadow got up on his feet, defeated and broken, and hobbled away. As night fell, Black Shadow was cleaning his wounds and re-building his racer in his lab. As the pain seared through his body he cried out.
Black Shadow: “WHY? I was so close to domination. Why did that d**n Falcon defeat me? I would do anything to beat him, to kill him, and this world. I would give anything…..ANYTHING:
Voice: “Anything?”
Black Shadow looked up in fear. He didn’t know of another presence in his lab. A tall figure stepped out of the darkness. He was cloaked completely and surrounded by a black aura. He reached out his hand toward Black Shadow.
Destroyer: “You say you will give anything for revenge?”
Black Shadow: “Yes….anything.”
Destroyer: “Then I suggest a trade….I will give you power beyond your imagination in return for your alliegance to me.”
Black Shadow reached out his hand to shake The Destroyer’s. When he did, a strange power flowed through his veins. He fell to the floor, but when the surge stopped, he felt complete, victorious, and powerful. He was shrouded in a black aura, and his eyes glowed red.
Black Shadow: “Master…I will do as you command.”Destroyer: “I command that you build the weapon you have been dreaming of. Here…i will provide the raw materials. (He shot energy towards to corner for a mass of metal and electric equiptment to appear) Get to work.”
Black Shadow: “I shall not disappoint you.”
