Chapter 1: Mario’s Keyblade

Mario and his brother Luigi were relaxing in Mushroom Valley eating well, mushroom soup. Mushroom Valley was the place where all mushrooms in Mushroom Kingdom are grown. They had been going here every chance they could get, because they never had time to come here due to Princess Peach was always getting herself into some kind of trouble. It has been about two months though since any villian, mostly Bowser, has shown their face in the Kingdom.

Suddenly Luigi said, “Have you ever wondered how come we like mushrooms so much? Plus, like everything here have the word mushroom in front of it. What’s the big deal!? They’re just stupid mushrooms.”

Mario chuckled and replied,”Wash your mouth out with soap Luigi! Mushrooms are pretty darn good if you ask me!”

“You’re addicted to those things.”Luigi said.

“Am not!”Mario yelled.

“Mario!Look!”Luigi yelled and pointed to the sky.

Up in the air was a huge flying ship. They knew instantly that it was Bowser’s vessel. It hovered over Mushroom Valley, it mass shape encasing the valley in shadow. From the top deck stood Bowser, and beside him stood a creepy-looking woman.

The woman wore a long dark robe, along with a hat that had two black horns on top. She had long, skinny fingers which was holding what looked like a staff, with a green jewel on top of it. Sitting on her shoulder was a black raven.

“Who in the heck is that? Bowser’s mom or girlfriend or something?”Luigi asked.

“I don’t know but she the gives me the creeps.”Mario answered.

Bowser laughed and yelled in his deep voice,”Mario! Luigi! It is time to meet your demise!”

Mario sighed and yelled back to the big oaf, “When will you learn Bowser. You suck! You can’t beat your way out of a paper bag!”

“Not this time Mario! Not this time!”Bowser screamed.

This time the woman spoke,”Why Bowser, aren’t you going to introduce me to those iggnorant plumbers. They should know who I am before they die.”

Bowser grinned and said,”Of course, where are my manners. Mario, Luigi! I’d like to introduce my friend here, Maleficent.”

“Malefi-who? Never heard of ya.”Luigi said.

“You should you second bannana.”Maleficent sneered.

“What do you two want?”Mario growled.

“Your deaths, and of course, the mushrooms.”Bowser answered.

“The mushrooms, why do you need the mushrooms?”Luigi said, not really caring.

“That’s for us to know and for you to never to find out! Attack!”Bowser yelled, and Goombas and Koopas jumped down from the ship and encircled Mario and Luigi.

“He just never learns.”Mario said and jumped on the head of the nearest Goomba. In a matter of seconds the little horde of enemies was defeated.

“Perhaps I should give it a try.”Maleficent said,”Hear me my Heartless!Destroy these fools!”

All of the sudden, strange black creatures appeared and surrounded the two brothers. Mario and Luigi have never faced foes like these before. They were completely black, with yellow eyes and two antennas on their heads. Mario didn’t know whether to jump on their heads or high tail it out of there.

The nearest monster jumped forward and attacked Mario, knocking him down. Before Mario could even take a swing at it the creature melted into the ground and slid away from him, before he could attack. The creature then rose back up a few feet away.

“What the heck are these things!?”Mario yelled.

Bowser and Maleficent were on the ship the whole time, laughing at them.Bowser finally stopped his laughter and said, “I grow bored of this. Let’s get on with it. We have a job to do.”

“Oh alright. Nobody likes a good evil laugh these days.”Maleficent replied.

A koopa brought forth a remote control to Bowser. Bowser grabbed it and pressed one of the buttons on it. The bottom of the flying ship opened and a huge hose came down to the ground. Bowser pressed another button and the hose began to suck up all the mushrooms in the valley. Luigi, unforunately, was in front of the huge hose and was sucked up along with the mushrooms.

“Mario!”Luigi yelled as he was sucked up into the hose. Mario screamed to his brother but could do nothing, becaus ethe Heartless was still beating him up.

All of the sudden, a black portal opened up underneath Mario’s feet and was pulling him into it like quicksand. He tried grabbing hold to something but the pull of the portal was stronger. Eventually, only Mario’s head remained. He screamed as he was completely engulfed in darkness. All around him was nothing but darkness. He could see black forms move from within the darkness. There were tons of Heartless all around Mario. They moved closer, Mario just stood there, knowing he couldn’t win. He was done for. A huge ray of light came up from above Mario, it instantly vaporized all the Heartless and Mario had to sheild his eyes eacuse the light was so bright. When he finally opened his eyes he was back in Mushroom Valley.

Mario heard Bowser and Maleficent gasp. Mario felt something in his right hand. He looked down to see some kind of weapon was in his hand. The strange weapon had a keychain with a star on it and the long body of the weapon looked like one of the green pipes he had to always unclog,with him being a plumber and everything. At the end of this weapon were three mushrooms. The one in the middle was the largest, while two small green ones were on either side of it.

“What is this thing?”Mario said, examining the weapon more closely.

“It seems the red fat plumber has a keyblade as well. I do beleive it’s time to go.”Maleficent said.

“I agree. We’re done here anyway. All the mushrooms are ours. Surely the Heartless will deal with him.”Bowser said and yelled to his minions,”Time to shove off!”

Maleficent looked down at Mario and yelled to him while they were departing,”If I were you Mario I would go check on your girlfriend, Princess Peach.”

“Peach is not my girlfriend!”Mario yelled, then whispered,”I wish.”

Mario noticed that the Heartless were cowering before Mario gazing at the weapon in his hand. They must be afraid of it, Mario thought. He lunged at the creatures and swiped at them with his new weapon. They were instantly turned to black smoke and appeared from the attack. In a matter of moments all the Heartless were gone. In the distance he could see the flying ship, too far away to catch.

“What did that witch say this thing was? A key….blade?”Mario said to himself. The weapon suddenly vanished from his hands. He was shocked at first, and wanted the thing back in his hands instantly, becaus it was able to destroy the Heartless. As if reading his mind, the weapon appeared again in his hands.

“Now that’s cool. Oh Yeah! Princess Peach! I must see if she’s alright!”Mario yelled and raced toward the Mushroom Castle.
