Writing Mario: Knights of Yoshi's Island (Chapter 1 is up)

Prolouge:

"We must act now or his troops will fill the island with in a matter of days". The man speaking was short, had a large moustache, and wore red armor that shined in the dim light of the cave.

"In my opinion, it is too late" "If we wanted to do something we should ahve acted weeks ago when "his majesty" arrived". This one was tall but also had a large, groomed moustache. His armor was a light shade of green. He was worried about his friends and his family who were all ready prisoners.

The red armored man stopped to think. He too had people dear to him on the island. His fiance, the princess, was now probably in some cage, gaurded by the strongest, bravest, and probably the stupidest gaurds alive. He was going to save her and all his friends. He had too.

"We strike tonight" a small man said. He was the smallest one there and his helmet was too big for his head. And anyways, who would want a poka-dotted helmet?

"You're surely a mad man" the tall one said. "Tonight is the fith anniversary of their arrival".

"Exactly" he said. "They will have great feasts and parties to celebrate out downfall". "The gaurds will all be eating and drinking their heads off while we sneak up behind their drunk backs and attck and retrieve our fellow knights and comrades".

"I agree" the red armored one said. "We have a few hours so gather every man capable of fighting and brong them here". "Tonight we get our revenge". he shouted. "Tonight, King Bowser falls!"

Every man in that small cave, all fifty of them, got up and cheered. Tonight, after so many years of fighting, they would win.

RE: Mario: Knights of Yoshi's Island

Here is Chapter 1:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chapter 1:

5 years earlier

"Boys, go clean up for dinner. Have you finished your homework yet?" Peach said. After all, she was the princess and she didn't like to wait.

"What are we having?" Mario asked and sat down next to his beloved wife. He was so grateful to be with her and the kids, he always was.

"Mushroom soup with noodles, tomatoes, and garlic" she said happily.

"Mmm, my favorite. So how were things at the palace today dear?" Mario asked.

"Well you know how it was, we live here, in the palace. Anyways..."

Mario had stopped listening the moment she had reminded him that they live in a palace. On Mushroom Island, he was no more than a plumber who had a thing for the princess. Oh how his brother had laughed at him for that crazy idea. But now he was married to Peach and he didn't live in a trailer with no bathroom, one window, and a rusty bed somewhere in the forest anymore. Even though he liked it there, this was different. He wasn't sure if different was good, but it was definitely another thing to be grateful for.

The boys were talking to their mother about too much homework when he heard something. It sounded small, but if you were there, you would have seen the palace gate explode into hundreds of pieces and guards flying everywhere. The explosion was massive. No one that was at the gate survived.

From the opening came more than five hundred soldiers, all marching neatly in five lines. Their faces could not be seen but they were all kind of short. On their chest plates was the letter "G". There dark helmets shined in the morning light. Mario had heard of them. The Goombas, sworn to protect their leader at all costs. They came from the darkest lands and promised freedom, not that they got any.

And if the Goombas were here, then so was there leader. And exactly then, the biggest thing anyone had ever seen came marching through the passage made by the explosion. A five ton dragon as high as a house with black and silver armor covering his whole body. His shoulder pads were in the shape of dragon skulls and so was his helmet. At his side was a sword the side of a man, decorated with pictures of dragons. He was Bowser, the wicked ruler who had conquered half the world and was planning to conquer all of it. He marched in, on the way crushing a few Goombas.

"Bring me your leader" he shouted with a voice that shook the ground. "Or else, I will get them myself. Bring me Princess Peach" He said to the Goombas and they ran towards the palace.

"Shh, be quiet, I think I hear something" Mario said to his family.

His sons put there ears to the wooden door, but not for long. The door exploded and one son fell to the ground, motionless. The other flew into the air and hit the glass window. It shattered and he took the five story plunge into the ice cold lake.

"Nooo" Peach screamed and knelt over her son's body.

"Get her before she gets up" one of the Goombas said.

They walked towards her, but Mario pulled his sword out and put it on the soldier's neck. "Don't move or you die, here and now."

They went for their swords as well, but it was too late. One of them fell and the other ran out of the house.

Mario went and sat next to Peach. "Shh, it's going to be okay" he said to try to calm her down.

"How is it okay?" she asked. "One of our buys is in a lake and one is dead!"

"I don't know how, but it will be" he said and got up.

More Goombas were coming, but now instead of two, there were ten.

He ran towards them with his sword blazing, but he didn't stand a chance. One of them took out a sword and made a deep gash across his eye. The scar would stay there forever. He fell, but before he hit the ground, he was hit in the back with a large club. Mario fell and passed out.

"Where am I?" he asked himself as he got up. The he remembered.

"Peach, where are you darling" he asked. But she was gone. They had taken her hours ago. They had entered the house and burned it, then they took her. Bastards!

"Get up brother" said a voice behind him.

"Luigi, where is she" Mario asked without even looking.

"We don't exactly know."

"What do you mean you don't exactly know" Mario said angrily. He turned around and tackled Luigi. They fell to the ground.

"Mario, please calm down" Luigi said. "When we got here, we found you and she was all ready gone. We thought you were dead!"

Mario got up and knelt on his brother. A club in the back can do serious damage to a man.

"Look behind you Mario" he said.

Mario turned around at couldn't close his mouth because of the shock. The palace that he lived in and where his children were raised, was now a burning mass of stone, wood, and metal.

"Were there survivors?"

"Not that we know about" Luigi said. "The Goombas were every where, burning every thing that they put there hands on, killing every one."

"Horrible, just horrible" Mario said to himself and turned around. "What do we do now?"

"Some parts of the palace are not completely wrecked and we have more than enough food and water".

"I was talking about the prisoners, there barely were any" Luigi said, but Mario could see the sad look in his face.

"Daisy was taken, am I right" Mario asked him.

“Yes, she was” he said. “All I did was stand there and look at them take her away. She was beaten up, I couldn’t look. She probably hates me now.”


“No she doesn’t, she loves you and she always has” Mario said to try to cheer him up, though it didn’t work so great.

“Help me, please” said a small voice from behind them.

They turned around and saw a small man, maybe even a teenager, crawl up the decorated marble stairs that led to Mario’s house.

“What can we do for you son” Mario asked.

“My friend and I were in my house when they came. It was all so fast that I couldn’t see. My friend lunged at them and they fell but he passed out. I took him and started looking for someone to help us, but everyone seems to be gone.”

“Where is your friend” Luigi asked.

“He is here, behind me. He couldn’t come up the stairs so I left him there.”

Mario and Luigi looked down beyond the stairs and saw a green dragon with red spikes on his back and brown boots lying on the floor.

"A dragon, your friend is a dragon" Luigi asked him.

"Yes he is, but he's nice. His name is Yoshi, and I am Toad."

"Nice to meet you" they said together.

"Well what do we do now" Toad asked.

"We fight back" said another voice from behind them.

"Nice to see you up on your feet Yoshi" Toad said to his newly conscious friend.

"We will fight; I can guarantee that, but not yet. Right now we should rest, gather food, and try to find more survivors. In a few days we shall start planning our revenge" Mario said.

"The place I told you about earlier is not far from here. It's just past the market, or what's left of it" Luigi said.

"Let's go" Toad and Yoshi said together.

The four of them went down the marble stairs, careful not to fall on the broken ones. This fight was over, but the war had just begun.

This is interesting. Although I'm not such a big fan of the Mario Games (except Mario Kart), I'd like to see how this turns out. I really have no idea what's going to happen next. Good luck with it.
