Koopa & Goomba

[Cayde]

Prologue

It was a nice day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Birds were chirping, the Angry Sun was shining, Toads were doing their daily routines and bustling around... Yes, it was a very nice day. The Princess sat on her throne, discussing something with Toadette, her advisor and captain of the Toad Brigade. Mario and Luigi were out frolicking around in the area outside of Peach's Castle, running and sometimes jumping. Yoshi was outside with the brothers as well, snacking on Berries from the bushes.

On the path leading up to the castle, a Koopa and Goomba walked along it, arguing in disagreement about something. The Koopa carried a large empty sack, dragging it across the ground as he walked. The Goomba was carrying a small cake that read "Happy Birthday!" written in blue frosting.

Koopa: I just don't get it. Why does Lord Bowser still kidnap the princess time and time again? Every time he does, Mario always comes to the rescue, bashing blocks, breaking bricks, going "YAHOO!" and "LETS A GO!"! What does Lord Bowser see in the princess?

Goomba: Maybe they're secretly friends? After all, Lord Bowser races karts, parties, and even goes to sporting events with Mario and Peach.

Koopa: But why go through all the trouble of doing this? Wouldn't it just be easier to send a letter or an e-mail saying "Hey, Peach! It's me Bowser! Wanna go hang out?"? Plus, it's not even her birthday! We don't even know her birthday!

Goomba: Relax. We do this, we head back to the castle, and we play some video games! Quick and easy!

The two reach the castle and walk inside. Koopa hid the bag behind his back and put on a clearly fake smile.

Goomba: Happy birthday, Peach! We brought you a cake and a present!

Peach: But it's not my-

Koopa: Your present is inside this bag!

Koopa pulled out the bag and held it out to Peach. Peach, being curious looked inside it, seeing nothing.

Peach: There's nothing inside! Is this a- AHH!

Koopa pushed Peach inside the bag and tied it tight, hoisting it on his shoulder, and ran out of the castle. Goomba dropped the cake and followed Koopa, also running.

[LeftyGreenMario]

Hmm, why does no one notice them approaching the castle? Seems busy outside.

Hmm, why does no one notice them approaching the castle? Seems busy outside.

Toads are idiots. They're all too busy to notice Koopa and Goomba.

 

[Bob Craples]

Pretty interesting.

Chapter 1

As the two ran out of the castle, chaos instantly erupted from the Toads. They ran around screaming in their raspy voices, alerting Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi. The brothers raced inside the castle, where Toadette was trying to calm everyone down.

Toadette: Everyone, stay calm! We will get the princess back! Right, Mario?

Mario nodded and set out to go find Peach, his brother staying at the castle.

Eventually, Koopa & Goomba were far away from Peach's Castle. They walked at a brisk pace, Koopa talking about something and Goomba on his phone, which was pink and sparkly.

Koopa: You know, maybe we could get ice cream after this. How does a double chocolate banana split sound, Goom?

Goomba: Uh huh. Sure.

Koopa: I still can't believe you have that phone case.

Goomba: Why not? I like it. Pink is a manly color, just ask Roy.

Koopa: Last time I asked Roy, he almost knocked my shell off.

Goomba: You just caught him in a bad mood. He's a nice guy if you get to know him.

Unbeknownst to the two, Peach was forming an escape plan. She would use her crown to cut through the sack, which was covered in patches. Peach took off her crown and stabbed through one of the patches, creating a hole. She tore through it and climbed out of the sack.

Goomba: Hey, you wanna watch a movie when we get home? I already have X-Nauts in the DVD player.

Koopa: Dude, we watched X-Nauts last week and the week before that. Can I pick this week?

Goomba: It's the best TV show of all time though! What do you wanna watch?

Koopa: Rawk Hawk. The sequel comes out soon.

Goomba: Sure. I haven't seen it since I was a Micro Goomba.

Peach ran all the way back towards Peach's Castle until she bumped into Mario. Mario fell to the ground with an "AHH!"

Peach: Oof! Sorry, Mario!

Mario got up and held hands with Peach as the two walked back to the castle where Toadette was standing outside.

Toadette: Oh? You found the princess already? Well done, Mario!

Mario scratched the back of his head and looked at Peach, who giggled.

Chapter 2

—Bowser's Keep—

Bowser: Grah! Kamek, when are those two going to get back?! I sent them out an hour ago!

Kamek: If it would please you, I think I see them coming to the front gates.

Koopa & Goomba walked up to the front gates of Bowser's Keep, a menacing structure home to the Koopa King himself. Two Koopatrols were stationed just outside the gates, keeping watch and sometimes letting people in.

Koopa: Morning, Ralph. Morning, Sam. I have the princess. Can you let me in so I can give her to Lord Bowser?

Goomba: Hey, Sam! How's your niece?

Sam: IDs please.

Koopa handed Sam his ID and Goomba hands his as well. Sam gives back their IDs after thoroughly checking them.

Sam: You may enter. My niece is doing great, thanks for asking.

The gates opened with loud creaking noises, and closed as Goomba & Koopa entered the keep.

: Lord Bowser should really get those gates oiled.

The two entered the throne room where Bowser was lounging on the throne with his hand on his cheek. Kamek stood next to him holding his wand.

Bowser: Finally! It's about time you two showed up! Do you have the princess?

Goomba: We sure do, Your Nastiness!

Koopa walked up to Bowser and handed the sack to Bowser. Strangely, the bag was really light as if it had nothing in it.

Bowser: Is this a joke?!

Koopa: What? This isn't a joke. The princess-

Koopa had a sudden realization on his face as Bowser burned the sack with his Flame Breath. The princess had escaped.

Kamek: The princess what?

Suddenly, Koopa's face turned to a worried grin, and then a nervous face.

Koopa: T-The p-p-princess...

Bowser: SPIT IT OUT ALREADY!

Goomba: She must have escaped while we were heading back! Oh crud...

Bowser got up from the throne and whispered something to Kamek, who nodded with an evil smile. With a wave of his wand, a ring of magic surrounded Koopa & Goomba and made them disappear.

Bowser: Never mess with the Koopa King.

Chapter 3

Koopa woke up feeling groggy and confused, as if he had been partying too hard. He remembered nothing from before. Were we out late last night? Did we drink too much Diet Chucklehuck Soda? Am I... dead? These thoughts raced through Koopa's head as he turned and looked at Goomba, who was face down and laying completely still. Koopa shook him gently and listened for a heartbeat.

: Goom...

Nothing.

: Goom!

Still nothing.

: GOOM!

Goomba suddenly awoke and looked around, sweat dripping down his face.

: Huh...? What happened...?

: I don't know... Do you remember anything?

: ...Did I win first place in Mario Kart?

: No. Where are we anyway?

Koopa looked around, they seemed to be near a mountain, a very tall mountain.

: Are we at Tall Tall Mountain?

*Short chapter today. Feedback is appreciated! -MightyMario

 

[The Green Knight]

I like the Diet Chucklehuck thing

 

[Cayde]

I like the Diet Chucklehuck thing

Thanks! I didn't wanna mention alcohol, so I came up with that.

 

[Mags]

Chuckola Cola?

 

[Cayde]

Chuckola Cola?

That's what I was going for. Koopa was dazed at the time so he might not remember everything.

Chapter 4

: Oh boy...

Koopa looked at the mountain and noticed a village on top of it.

: Hey, a village! We could find help there!

: A village on top of a mountain? Now I've seen everything.

The two started to climb the mountain but fell flat on their butts. The mountain was too hard to climb, as there was nothing to grab on to that would last more than a second.

: Dang it! How are we going to get up there?

Goomba walked around the mountain until he spotted a sign pointing up that said TO VILLAGE with an elevator platform next to it. Goomba smirked happily as he ran to tell Koopa.

: An elevator? Wow! That's great, Goom!

The two got on the platform and Koopa pushed a button on the controls to start it. With a loud creak, it started moving up to the village.

: I'm starving, what about you?

: Same. I hope they have a place to eat.

The elevator reached the top and the duo stepped into the village. The village was alive with activity as various people walked around chatting and seeing shops. A Toad was busy demonstrating his new invention, which exploded right in his face. Another Toad was setting up a stage with a microphone as a large group gathered around it all holding pieces of Mario merchandise, including plushes, posters, and video games. Koopa & Goomba walked into the group and decided to find someone to talk too. Koopa tapped a Koopa's shoulder to get their attention.

: Excuse me, but could you help me find someplace to-

The Koopa turned around and smiles. She had a camera in hand with a green hat and pink earrings. Koopa stopped mid sentence and blushed, getting hearts in his eyes.

: Hi! Are you lost?

Koopa shook his head to get rid of the hearts in his eyes. That would've been embarrassing.

: Name's Koopa. My pal and I ended up here without any clue on how we did, could you direct us to an inn or a place to eat?

: Lemme guess. You're here to get an autograph from Mario?

: Uh.... yep! I hope he signs my shell!

Goomba looked at Koopa with a puzzled expression.

: Well, my name's Kylie Koopa, reporter for MKNN, the Mushroom Kingdom News Network! I hope you two have a fun time!

: Aren't you going to help us?

: Oh yeah, that. The inn's right over there.

Kylie pointed to the inn, which was next to a store called Tall Tall Toys.

: Thanks! Uh, could it be possible to...

Kylie raised her eyebrow as Goomba started dragging Koopa to the inn.

: ...get your number, so that we could hang out some time? I think you're beautiful!

Goomba entered the inn and closed the door just Koopa said that.

Hey, sorry for not posting the story for a while. I promise it'll come soon.

Chapter 5

The door slammed shut as Goomba dragged Koopa inside the inn. The inn was small, with tacky decor and old furniture along the walls. An elderly Koopa helmed the front desk, snoring and paying no attention to the two. Koopa got up and looked around the place with his hands on his hips.

: This place is a dump. It's like no one's been here for centuries.

: Well, it's the only inn in town.

: Yeah, it was probably here before the village was built.

Koopa walked up to the front desk and tapped the elderly Koopa to wake him up.

: Hello? We'd like to rent a room, please.

The Koopa woke up and grumbled, he had green skin unlike Koopa's yellow skin, a cane, and large, bushy whitebrows with a white beard.

: Huh?... What?

: A room, please.

: A broom? In the storage closet.

: No, a room.

: A tomb? That's in the Mushroom Pyramids, sonny.

: A room! Room! R-O-O-M! Room!

The Koopa stood still for a moment, and then grabbed a key from the back wall. Goomba was on the ground laughing during the entire conversation.

: If you need anything, just ring the little bell.

: Thanks. You old fart.

Goomba got up and followed Koopa as he walked to the room they were staying at.

: What a nice man. Maybe I need to get a hearing aid.

I wonder if Koopa asked for a groom myself

Chapter 6

Koopa and Goomba walked to the room the key was assigned to: Room 5. They entered the room and looked at the state it was in. Multitudes of food boxes littered the carpeted floor. The bed was unkempt and the TV was playing last week's episode of Mushroom Kingdom Idol, which Goomba had not seen yet.

Blue Toad: And this week's elimination is... Ron. Sorry, Ron. We hope you had fun on Mushroom Kingdom Idol.

Ron was a Broozer. He became angry and started ranting about his loss.

Ron: WHAT?! I CALL BULLY ON THAT! I HAVE THE GREATEST SINGING ABILITY OUT OF ALL OF THESE LAME-OS!

Blue Toad: Security, please escort Ron off the stage.

Two security Toads walked on stage and grabbed Ron, dragging him away. Goomba was disappointed at Ron's loss.

Goomba: Aw, bummer. I liked him. Oh well...

A particularly foul smell began to emanate in the room. Koopa slapped his hands over his nose holes.

Koopa: Dude! Warn me before you do that! Augh!

Goomba: Huh? Warn you about what?

Koopa: You know what! Don't act like Boom Boom!

Goomba: Wait, you're saying I tooted?

Koopa: Yeah, you tooted!

Goomba did not toot, rather someone else in the room. The bathroom, to be precise. There was a groan and an audible fart as the bathroom door swung open, revealing a short, fat zigzag-mustachieod man wearing a yellow cap with a blue W on it and a yellow shirt and purple overalls. With a hefty "Wah!", he walked into the room and scratched his butt, burping as well.

Wario: Wah! Who dares enter the lair of the GREAT and MIGHTY Wario?!

Koopa: That was you?!

Wario: Wah! Of course it was me! Only the ILLUSTRIOUS and POWERFUL Wario could produce a fart of that magnitude! Hey, you chumps wouldn't happen to have some Triple Layer Garlic, Egg, and Tofu Burgers for Wario? You're the delivery boys, right? Come on, bring them in! Wario's starving! Hurry up! *belch*
