Mario and the Troll Kingdom (tentative title)

[Fawfulthegreat64]

I decided, being one of the few people who loved A Troll in Central Park, and obviously a huge fan of the Mario series, to make a crossover fanfiction. I would like feedback on this, as it's obviously just in the beta stages and needs critique. I'm relatively new to writing fanfiction so any critique is welcome. I also have written Chapters 3 and 4, (and don't worry I wouldn't kill off Mario for good, I just wanted to end this on a cliffhanger)

Spoiler: Prologue

The sun rose over the royal city for the first time in years. As the fog cleared, the trolls finally got a whiff of the fresh air from the outside. One troll, Robert, had never seen such a beautiful sight in his life.
"Hey!" he said with a smile. "Maybe this ain't so bad after all!"
Now that the tyrannical queen, Gnorga, had been transformed into a rose bush and planted in the new royal garden, the kingdom no longer needed to fear her gruesome laws that prohibited anything beautiful or good. It was all thanks to one rebel, Stanley, who had stood up to the queen and used his magical green thumb to cover her in flowers.
Now the queen's husband, King Llort, was able to take over a kinder rule over the kingdom. All the trolls who had been turned to stone for their beliefs were set free, and all was good. Yes, it was commonly accepted that no evil would ever seize the Troll Kingdom again.
Or so they thought. But something was brewing far, far away that could potentially throw the kingdom, and the universe, back into darkness. Or even wipe it out of existence for good.

Spoiler: Chapter 1

It was storming hard in the woods as a short hooded figure ran through. He was holding a package addressed to someone named Llort.
"I've done the searching. Fawful has scoured the Mushroom and Beanbean Kingdoms and Pi'illo Island as well! Where is this Llort hiding? I have the weakness in my feet. Maybe I should be giving up...Oh?"
The small Beanish stopped as he saw a towering figure above him.
"Llort? The king? What business have you with him?" said the troll.
"I am having the package... From someone who would not be giving me his name."
"You are Fawful, are you not? The newspapers said you were killed weeks ago."
"I am being a master of illusion. But it is not part of your business. What I am needing to know is how to find King Llort!"
"Come with me... I am of his kingdom. I will show you the way."

"YOW! What happened here?!"
Luigi the plumber had arrived in New York for the first time in years. Arriving at Central Park as a volunteer to restore it after a strange tornado, he was shocked to find it already 100% restored to its former glory.
"Well, then! I suppose my work is unneeded!"
But little did he know his work had just begun.

---

Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, Mario, Luigi's older brother, was cooking spaghetti for dinner when he heard the doorbell. "Be right there!" he said as he made his way to the door.
"M-M-MARIO! B-B-BAD NEWS!" shouted a rather scared Toad.
Mario had heard this a hundred times before. "It's the princess again, isn't it?"
"S-she's been kidnapped! But this time it wasn't Bowser!"
"Sooo, who this time? Bowser Jr.? Cackletta? Fawful? Grodus? Tatanga--oh wait that was Daisy--"
"No! It was a troll! A big, mean troll! He's the kidnapper! He said he needed a queen to help him rule over Troll Kingdom!"
"Troll Kingdom? Where in the worlds?"
"I dunno, but you GOTTA save her! We're all helpless!"
"Well I have no choice then! Do you like spaghetti?" Mario asked before running off towards Mushroom Castle.
"Umm, I guess?" Toad said and helped himself to the spaghetti.

Spoiler: Chapter 2

Mario ran down the road, on his way to Mushroom Castle, when he ran smack into a large figure.
"Hey, watch yourself!" said the agitated troll.
Mario, noticing that this resembled Peach's kidnapper, shouted, "Hey! You must have kidnapped the princess! Now where is she??"
"You are mistaken. I was simply escorting this guy to the Troll Kingdom."
The hooded figure behind him instantly recognized Mario. "The red mustache...." he muttered under his breath.
The troll turned around. "You know this guy?"
"You are not minding me. Are we almost there?"
Mario looked suspiciously at Fawful, then asked the troll, "Mind if I tag along? I'm looking for someone of the Troll Kingdom."
"Come with me then..."

---

"Erm? Where am I?" Princess Peach rubbed her eyes and realized she was in a cage. "Maaario! Heeee--urgh..."
She attempted to scream for help, but was clubbed in the back of the head by a large, growling troll. "Shut up!" grunted the creature, who was obviously a minion of her captor, Prince Trolgar. The prince seemed bent on overthrowing his father, King Llort.
The group eventually reached a large, creepy-looking pipe. Peach woke up again and looked back, to see Mario, a hooded figure, and another troll approaching behind them.
"Mario!" she shouted, and as the bad troll attempted to club her again, Mario leaped upon his head, knocking him senseless. Trolgar turned around.
"Whaaat?! You swine! You dare to defy me?" His black thumb now glowed a deadly pink. Before Mario could react, Trolgar's evil magic thumb touched him. Mario looked into his princess's eyes as he reached out towards her, his arms turning grey and his body becoming hard as rock.
"Brave Mario!! Noooooo!" gasped the princess as Trolgar laughed.
Fawful also gasped as he saw his former enemy turn to stone before his eyes.

So what do you think? I'm also considering to work in SpongeBob somewhere in the story, but I'm not sure if it would work since he's underwater and naturally the size of a mouse to someone like Mario.

Also just a head's up, I have a record of never finishing projects. So if this disappears off the face of the earth, don't be surprised. But as of now I plan to finish it.

Spoiler: Chapter 3

Luigi, having returned to his home that he shared with Mario, wasn't too surprised to find his brother gone. However, when a Toad who had witnessed Mario's stoning told the news to Luigi, the younger brother broke down into tears.
"Big Bro... NOOOOO! What am I to do now?!" sobbed poor Luigi. He then swore revenge on this Trolgar and left the house.

A few miles away from Luigi, an eternal storm swirled around a large stone castle. Lightning constantly illuminated the halls, and a Koopa Paratroopa flew through the gate, gasping for breath. Two Koopatrols guarding the throne room questioned his intentions.
"I have a message for Lord Bowser! It's urgent!" gasped the Paratroopa.
"You may enter," declared one of the Koopatrol guards.
As the door opened, King Bowser Koopa shouted, "Hey! Minion! What do you want?!"
"I have a report, sir!"
"Well spit it out already!"
"Umm, you see, sir... Princess Peach has been nabbed, sir! And Mario has been, umm, stoned by her kidnapper!"
"WHAAAT? Treason! That's MY thing! And you said he defeated Mario too?"
"Yes sir! We were able to grab Mario and bring him here too, sir!"
The Paratroopa whistled, and two more Paratroopas carried the stone statue of Mario into the room.
"Treason!" shouted Bowser. "Nobody gets to defeat Mario but me! Is there any way for us to restore him so I can finish him?"
"Apparently the only thing that can resore one who has been turned to stone...is a magical green thumb!" stated one of the minions. "And our scouts have discovered the home of someone who has just that!"
"Well what are you idiots waiting for? Bring him here! You know what? I'LL do it myself! Kammy! You're coming with me!"
"As you command, my lord," said the elderly Magikoopa named Kammy Koopa.
"Great! Now where's my Clown Car? We're off!"

Spoiler: Chapter 4

Stanley, whistling "Welcome to my World," happily watered his flowers with dew from the outside. He had recently returned to his old home after the queen's fall, and was finally allowed to grow his precious garden.
Hearing a crash, Stanley rushed upstairs where he found a large spiked Koopa and an elderly Magikoopa.
"Hello, welcome to my home! Would you care for some tea? I can grow anything, you see, and--"
"Show me your thumb!" demanded King Bowser.
Stanley's magical thumb glowed a bright shade of green.
"Ooh, pretty!" said Kammy. "And what a lovely garden you have here!"
"IDIOT!" shouted Bowser. "Remember why we're here?! You! Flower boy! You're coming with us!"
"Oh no, no, no," said Stanley. "I have to finish watering my garden, and I plan to visit Central Park later, and--"
"Can it, you wimp!" growled the Koopa King, grabbing Stanley.
"Oh!" gasped the little troll, who was then tossed into the Koopa Clown Car.
The two then flew off with Stanley in tow. As they flew away, they caught the attention of King Llort, who was gazing out the window of his castle. "Hm hm hm! What a strange pair! I wonder where they're off to?"

High in the sky, an empty castle floated. Having been long since abandoned, it was once the home of Count Bleck, who had attempted to destroy the universe. He had, however, changed his ways, and lived happily in another paradise with his new wife, Timpani.
In the basement of the castle that had never been touched, burnt remains of a creature's head fell from the ceiling. A mouse ran over to it, curious of what it was. The mouse sniffed around, repulsed at the smell of old blood. Then a hand rose from the remains and crushed the poor mouse.
"Ah....ha ....ha ha...."

 

[Fawfulthegreat64]

Err, anyone?

Spoiler: Chapter 5

Back at Bowser's castle, Mario was heavily guarded by several Koopatrols.
"This blows, man," said one Koopatrol. "I have a date tonight! I better not be stuck guarding this fool all night..."
"Relax, dude," said another. "Bowser should be back any minute now! It's all good."
The second Koopatrol glanced back at Mario, and his eyes widened.
"What is it?" asked the first, also glancing back. They both stared in shock: Mario was gone!
"Oh man oh man oh man! Bowser's going to kill us! Where'd he go?"
They were interrupted by a strange voice: "Ah ha ha ha ha ha. Why do you care about your mortal enemy? Has he not murdered many of your kind? How would you like to have Mario... on YOUR side, hmmm?"
The Koopatrols looked up at a floating figure: a jester clad in purple and yellow, with a black and white comedy mask.
"Who the hell are you? Wait...Bowser told us about you! You're that sick freak who tried to wipe out the universe and rebuild it in your own image!"
"Ah ha ha ha. You are precisely correct. But don't you think I've learned my lesson by now? I can restore Mario to perfect condition... and also make him your ally!"
"But the only thing that can restore him is a green thumb... are you saying a cruel freak like you has such a thumb?"
"Ah ha ha ha ha. I know many magic abilities. One such ability can perfectly replicate a magical green thumb..."
And then the jester snapped his fingers, and Mario leaped down from nowhere. "It's a-me, Mario!" he said. "Hail Bowser!"
"Now now, isn't that better? If you'll excuse me, I must be off. Ciao for now~"
With that, the jester disappeared in a whoosh of air. Mario immediately leaped into the air, materializing a Fire Flower out of nowhere. "It's a-ME! Woo hoo!" shouted the apparently crazed Mario, throwing fireballs at the frightened Koopas.
Dimentio, the jester, laughed through Mario's voice and said, "Now now, don't be scared! It's only your worst nightmare! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!"

---

Bowser and Kammy arrived with Stanley at the castle, which was now burning. Koopas, Goombas and other minions of Bowser came running out.
"Bowser! Bowser!" they shouted. "Mario's back and he's destroying everything!"
"Whaaaat!?" shouted the Koopa King.
Stanley peeked out of the Clown Car, confused. He saw Mario coming out of the castle and gasped.
"What is it now, Flower Boy?" asked Bowser.
"It's...that guy! He's got a black thumb! He wants to turn you to stone!"
