Chapter 3

 


    Peach was unable to sleep, so was Toad. They both were worried about Bowser's threat of killing five inhabitants of the Mushroom world. Peach knew Bowser was evil, but only to an extent. At least, that's what she used to think. Toad blamed himself for saying Bowser didn't have the heart to kill. "I'm sorry Princess; this is my entire fault!" Toad broke the silence. Peach had hardly heard Toad speak; so many things were going through it. "Don't worry about it, Toad, we'll figure a way out of this." Peach started. But just as she said that, something happened! She remembered of a tale her Grandmother used to tell her at nights, before she would go to bed. "Toad, I just may have come up with a plan that might work!" Peach whispered, signaling Toad to the back of their cell. "Great! What is it?" Toad asked, keeping his voice low. "At nights, when I was young, my Grandmother would tell me stories, of our family's history, and the treasures we held. One story she was quite found of telling me, was that of the Star Broach in the shape of a star, attached to a heart shaped casing, that contained a small star inside, which equaled the power of the 120 Power Stars."
    Toad was amazed, that one star, a small one for that matter, could equal the power that took 120 Stars to produce! "But Princess, how could that be?! Where is it located?! Who can use it?!" It seemed like hundreds of questions suddenly began to pop out of Toad's head, and his voice, rising with excitement, would get the guards attention soon. "Shhhh..." Peach signaled, with her finger near her lips. "Oh, right, yeah!" Toad impatiently acknowledged. Peach continued: "My Grandmother explained that it had been in our family for generations, possibly since the first Queen Toadstool. She said, that one night when her Kingdom was on the verge of destruction by an evil King from across the great sea. The Queen stepped out on her balcony, of her massive castle and starred up at the night sky, filled with stars. Below, chaos was everwhere. Mushroom people were being killed, houses burned to the ground, money and treasures being stolen, the same thing was happening in all the other distant villages, the Queen could just feel it. Grandmother said she probably said something along the lines "Please, Gods that control the heaven of stars, protect my people, my Kingdom, from the death and hardship they face! Please, I beg of you!" The Queen had said, with tears in her eyes, and her hands reaching towards the sky.
    "So what happened?" Toad was completely engulfed in the story, he had a rough picture in his head of the scene. "Grandmother never told me past that, for some strange reason. So, I decided to read up on it in The Ancient Text of Mushroom History, and found out myself. It says that after the Queen had pleaded, she was shot through the heart with an aro, from the evil King." Toad gasped, at the though of it. Peach continued: "Please" The Queen cried out. "The sky supposodly glowed bright for a split second, lighting up the entire area, as a voice spoke: "You care for your people a great much. You would sacrifice your very life for them, each and every one of them. Your heart knows of only love and care, not an ounce of hatred. Take that love and care, from your dieing heart a turn it into a source of power and strength. It will give you the strength you need to save you Kingdom, and all its people!" The voice ended, as the Queen's chest began to emit a bright orange glow. The punctured red heart began to appear, and slowly began to change into a yellow star, of the same size. It glowed brightly, and let out a bright, magnificent flash of light, encompassing the whole Kingdom, sending the Evil King and his conquers to another place in time, where they will never be able to escape. The Queen soon died later, but not before explaining to her husband, the King, who had been freed, about the star, which contained her heart, still full of love, hope and compassion for all. After she finished explaining, she let out one more sigh of relief, looked at the ceiling, as if she was preparing for the great journey ahead, and died in her husband's arms. He always kept the star in a heart shaped Broach, near him, for the rest of his life.
    Toad was in tears from the story, it had touched him deeply. "This, assuming it was accurate, was written first by a spy of the enemy army, hiding nearby, but once he was vanquish, the King wrote the part about his wife, and her story of the star and her heart." Peach finished. "Toad, don't you see, the Star Broach may very well be held in the castles very upper level!" Peach said. "It's... here? Really!?" Toad could barely speak. "Possible, and the only way I'm going to be able to find out, is by getting Bowser's permission to go up there." Peach said, walking to the bars. "Huh?!?" Toad was confused. "Guard! Tell Bowser... King Bowser, that it is urgent that I speak to him! I wish to discuss plans of our marriage!" Peach forced out. Toad almost fainted.
    Geno had just finished arming himself with Ice Bombs, Fire
    Bombs, Fright Bombs, Rock Candy, and the new Lightning Bombs, the Defense Force
    had just created this new type of bomb. "Geno!" A voice called out. "That voice sounds like..."
    Geno began, he turned around it was Mallow! "Mallow, what are you
    doing here?" Geno asked. "I'm here to help!" Mallow said anxiously. "No
    Mallow, it's too dangerous! You're a Prince, and if something were to happen..."
    Geno began. "Mom and Dad said that I could help! I want to return the favor!
    You guys have saved my parents, Nimbus Land and me twice, so now I want to
    help!" Mallow said. Geno stood there thinking for a few seconds. "Your sure
    you want to? It's going to be dangerous." Geno warned. "Geno, my powers have
    grown significly!" Mallow responded. Geno stood there, and finally said:
    "Ok, grab some Bombs and Rock Candy and lets get moving." Geno said,
    hesitating. "Thanks!" Mallow said happily.
    Bowser couldn't sleep either. He had gone back to the thrown room. He found himself uncomfortable about having to kill those five people tomorrow. "What's wrong with me!? I'm the badest brute around, and I should not be worried about killing a few stupid people! I should enjoy it!" Bowser thought to himself, which he had been thinking for the past few hours. He was disturbed by a knock on the door. "Yes, come in!" He yelled. A shelled Troopa entered, with the Princess next. "Peach!" Bowser jumped up. "You're excused!" Bowser said to his minion, who nodded his head, and left. "If you've come here to plead..." Bowser began. "No, I'm here to accept your offer of.... marriage." Peach said. "As you should! You're going to be the luckiest woman in the world!" Bowser laughed. Peach was about to continue, but Bowser added: "And to give you a small taste of my generosity, I will forgo the execution of your people! We will rule the world together!" Bowser laughed.
    Kamek was walking down the much cleaner halls, than their castle, to the Thrown Room. He knocked, ready to give Bowser the news of his plans of attack. When Bowser said "Enter", Kamek noticed that Bowser's voice seemed different, not as grumpy or forceful, but, could it be, dare he even think, happy? "Sir.." Kamek begun as he entered, only to see Peach and Bowser talking... about marriage!?! Kamek nearly lost his balance. "Kamek!" Bowser waved, as Kamek moved back a bit. Bowser waving... with a smile on his face? "Come here!" Bowser continued, in a cheery voice. "Sir?" Kamek asked, puzzled. "I want to ask you to be best man at our wedding!" Bowser said. That did it, Kamek fainted. Peach wondered if everybody would react like this.
    Peach and Bowser were standing besides Kamek. "Kamek?" Bowser asked, as he threw water onto the fainted Magickoopa. "W... Wha, What happened?" He finally mumbled, fixing his glasses. "You never answered my request." Bowser begun. "Request?!" Kamek asked. "Sir, you NEVER request anything, it's always an order!" Kamek said, jumping up. "Well, anyway." Bowser started again. "Would you be my best man at the wedding?" Kamek forced out a "yes", but then quickly added: "My attack force is ready to invade the Mushroom Kingdom Capital, I shall be leaving now." Kamek said, as he turned to leave. Bowser heard Peach gasp, so he yelled out Kamek. "Cancel the attack! The lovely Princess has agreed to hand over her Kingdom to me." Bowser said. "But sir, at least let me take a group to defend the castle, from any possible approaching forces." Kamek said. "Of course." Bowser agreed. Kamek nodded and left. "Now, my lovely Princess, let's discuss the future." Bowser began.
    "I give up!" Mario yelled out in frustration. "I've tried every thing to get that stupid
    cover off!" Mario said madly, sitting down on a cloud. "I don't believe it! My tools are useless!"
    Luigi said, stunned. "Yoshi don't know what to do!" Yoshi sadly complained.
    The Yoshi were getting hungry, and they had tried everything, throwing
    rocks, themselves and withered fruit at the black cover. DK was also getting
    hungry, not all his strength could remove the black cover. Wario continually
    tried to blast the cover off, but kept ending up blasting himself.
    Kamek was walking down the hall, heading towards the room were the
    three warriors were, when he heard arguing. As Kamek entered the room, he saw
    Kunzitera madly yelling at Bob. "Hey, What's going on?!?" Kamek demanded to
    know. "This idiot thinks he's the leader! He continually boosts on how he is the
    best, I was just going to show him WHOM here is the most powerful!" Kunzitera
    madly said. "you're going to learn who is the best around here!" Kunzitera
    madly shouted, holding out his hands, which started to glow. "Give me your best
    shot!" Bob yelled. "Hold it. HOLD IT!" Kamek yelled. "Save it for the outside, which is where were going now!" Kamek said. "Do we have to?" Sherasha asked. "My nails are still drying!" She said. "Forget about
    your nails! And put your armor on!" Kamek ordered, cleaning his glasses. "I
    like her without her armor on!" Kunzitera and Bob said in unison, agreeing for once. "Boys,
    you'll get your chance, now stop drooling or were going to have to swim to
    the Mushroom Kingdom!" Sherasha ordered.
    "She's mine!" Kunzitera whispered to Bob as they left. "No, she's
    mine!" Bob said louder. They argued all the way down the halls. "Hey, wait a sec."
    said Bob. "What?" They all complained. "........I'm hungry." Bob slowly said, rubbing his stomach.
    "FINE! Make a sandwich!" yelled Kamek, who was annoyed. Bob left. Seconds later, they heard
    a ear-piercing scream, so loud, it could've shattered glass!
    "HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPP!" Bob screamed. They all ran towards the kitchen.
    "Are you okay?" asked Kamek. "Are you being kidnapped?" asked Sherasha. "Are
    you hurt? I hope so!" yelled Kunzitera. "NO! I dropped the peanut butter jar
    and I can't reach it!" Bob panicked. They all moaned, and an Anime sweat
    drop appeared on their heads. "THIS IS WASTING TIME!!!" Screeched Kamek. "Ok,
    OK! I won't eat! I'll starve myself!" Bob whined. "Good..." Kamek said. "See
    how childish he is?" Kunzitera said to Sherasha. "I HEARD THAT!" Bob
    complained. "Oh shut up." Kunzitera responded. "If I ever get that Peanut
    butter jar, I'm sticking your head in it!" Bob yelled, pointing his finger at
    Kunzitera's head. "I'd like to see you try." Kunzitera responded. "I WILL!!!"
    Bob said, jumping up and down. "Is that a promise?" Kunzitera asked. "You can
    count on it!!" Bob continued. "SHUT UP!!!!!" Kamek yelled with all his remaining strength. "OUCH!!
    Ear drums, Out of order!!" Bob panicked as he fell over.
    Finally after a good two hours, Kamek, Kunzitera, Sherasha and Bob were
    outside. "Let's go!" Kamek ordered as they began walking across the bridge
    over the moat and onto the yellow path, to guard the castle. Just as they stopped to take a position, a blue beam smashed into Kamek, knocking him back into Sherasha. Bob and Kunzitera didn't like this one bit.
    "She's mine, you old coot!" Bob yelled to himself. "You fell purposely into
    her!" Kunzitera yelled to himself as well. "Who did that?" Kamek demanded. "I am the
    Defender of Stars, Protector of wishes and dreams! I am Geno, the Starlight
    Defender!" Geno announced, as he landed on the ground. "Talk about corny!" moaned Bob.
    "I thought your eardrums were out of order?" Kunzitera asked. "Your whole body is going to be out of order soon!" Bob threatened. "Let me ask you this, how long has your brain been out of order?!?" Kunzitera yelled into Bob's ear, which blew him away. "I am the
    protector of the sky and clouds, defender of the weak and helpless, I am
    Mallow, And I shall defeat you!" Mallow announced. "Yet another corny intro." Bob pointed out.
    "What a HUNK!" Sherasha screamed, staring at Geno. "Oh brother!" Kamek,
    Bob, and Kunzitera all said in unison. "Get them!" Kamek ordered, pointing towards Geno and Mallow.
    "I don't see anything in him!?!?" Both Bob and Kunzitera turned to Sherasha. "What's he got that we don't?" They both continued. "How can you like a guy in blue tights, that looks like a doll?" Bob asked. "Why don't you ask yourself, you've certainly fashioned a liking to them!" Kunzitera laughed, as Bob turned around and punched him in a face."JUST GET THEM!!!" Kamek yelled. "I'm busy!" Bob yelled back. "You will fight or I will send you to the fiery underworld of death and despair!" Kamek threatened. "Uh...ok!" Bob backed down, but soon complained: "Do I HAVE to fight a marshmallow? Can't I just...eat him?" Bob asked, referring to Mallow. "FIIIIGHT!" Yelled Kamek, almost popping a vein. "Oh brother, I'm going to retire!" Kamek sighed, trying to calm down. "What idiots you all are!" He then yelled. "Fine, Mr. Cranky. Let your warriors starve to death!" Bob madly complained. "I'm not a marshmallow! I'm a tadpole... no, actually I'm a Prince of Nimbus Land!" Mallow corrected."Wow! He's a prince! Can I have your autograph?" Bob sarcasticly asked. Kamek shoved Bob followed, and ordered him to attack.
    "Elec-Shocker!" Bob called out, a surge flashing white and blue electricity formed in his hands, and threw it at Geno and Mallow! "Yeouch!!" Mallow yelled. Both being thrown back. Mallow recovered and prepared to attack. "Hey! Electric attacks are my specialty! Shocker!" Mallow called out, raising his hands to the sky. In the sky a huge glowing lightning bolt speeded towards Bob! "Shield Of Evil!" Bob called out, his arms held out in front of him. "Hah! You're going to get the shock of your
    life!" Mallow taunted. The bolt hit.... made a few ripples and bounced off!
    It deflected and headed towards Mallow! "What!?" Mallow panicked and was
    super-shocked! Mallow went flying backwards into a hill! "Mallow!" Geno
    called out. "Fire Bomb Explode!" Geno called out, tossing the Firebomb. It
    hit Bob and Kunzitera. "Ouch Ouch OUCH!" Bob yelled. "Ooo That smarts!"
    Kunzitera yelled. Mallow had recovered, and was running towards the four with his Sonic Cymbals. Just as he was about to clap them together, Sherasha attacked! "Vine Strike, Electrify!" She called out. Three green
    vines on each side of wrist fired out and striked Mallow, tying him up!
    "No!" Geno cried out. "Ha! So much from the 'Starlight Defenders!' Now, got a
    Water Bomb?" Bob taunted/complained, still burning.
    The green vines shocked Mallow as he struggled to free himself.
    "Mallow Thunderbolts Surround!" Mallow forced out as bolts of thunder shocked
    the four and freed Him! "Good Job!" Geno said. "Hurry while the stunned!"
    Mallow yelled back. "Right!" Geno said. Geno then morphed into a cannon!
    "Geno Flash Intensify!" Geno yelled as a bright yellowish-orange circular
    ball fired from the morphed Geno. "Look, out!" Kunzitera yelled. Too late.
    The bright yellowish-orange circular ball erupted in front of them. "Is it just
    me, or is it getting HOT AGAIN?!!?" Bob asked. "Oh shut up!" Kunzitera
    responded. "You know, you should trademark that!" Bob responded. The powerful
    circular ball grew and grew, making it hotter and hotter! Soon, it exploded!
    "Oww!!!" The four screamed. When the flash faded, the three were still
    standing! But Kamek was down "Impossible!" Geno gasped. "Oh oh..." Mallow
    said backing up. "Black Energy Blast!" Kunzitera said, holding out his hand
    as three black glowing spheres fired. Geno jumped out of the way as they flew
    past him, but Mallow was again, nailed!
    "Geno Whirl Slice!" Geno called out in the air as three rings on fire
    zoomed at incredible speed, drilling into Kunzitera! "Oww!" He yelled as
    he ring drilled into his body. "Star Rain SMASH!" Mallow called out, just
    recovering, a giant yellow stared plummeted into Sherasha! "No!" Bob cried
    out! "You'll pay you fat little cream puff!!" Bob said with pure anger. "Evil
    Power DESTROY!" yelled Bob. A beam fired out of Bob's hands. The surge of
    evil completely knocked out Mallow. "Mallow!" Geno called out. "I killed the
    weakling! I killed the weakling!" sang Bob, dancing around. "Are you a
    fruit?" Kunzitera asked. "A what?" Bob asked still dancing. "Yep, that
    answers my question! He's fruiter than a fruit basket folks!" Kunzitera laughed. "Some how, I FEEL INSULTED!" Bob complained, scartching his head. "Don't worry, it's a completely natural thing!" Kunzitera assured."You'll pay for that! Geno yelled. "Go ahead and try!" Kunzitera
    and Bob said calmly, as they continued to argue. "Oh so brave!" Sherasha
    said, getting up. "I call upon the powers of the Starlight Universe, help me
    destroy this evil!" Geno began saying, holding up his arms. "Geno Star beams
    Smash!" Geno yelled. "Yet again, another corny speech! You people are SO un cleavor!" Bob said, for the third time today. "Look at your name. Dull, isn't it?" Kunzitera laughed. A blue light circled above the three. "This cannot be good!" Bob began. "No, you think?" Kunzitera said. Suddenly blinding lights
    shot down, drilling into the three. "Ahhhhhhh!!!" They all screamed. The
    breams continually drilled through them with ease! The ground started breaking apart as
    the beams of pure energy and power continually poured down. Suddenly Geno
    collapsed. The three collapsed....and the ground collapsed.....and they all fell....
