Rogueport, 20 years on...

[bloodoftheyoshi]

Well im not much of an artist, but im always told im quite a writer. My head just exploded with a great idea last night! This story takes place in Rogueport, 20 years after the shadow queen was destroyed. Rougueport has grown since then. And many gangs have taken the streets.

CHAPTER ONE:A Bloody Solution
The foggy morning shrouded Rogueport, the lighthouse the only signal to guide tankers toward the booming port town. Rogueport had grown since the time of the Shadow Queen. Under the watchful eyes of Frankie Pianta, the Godfather of the local syndicate, the west side had grown housing a hotel known to even the people of glitzville.

Buissness was not doing well, the eastern gang the Robbos had never been a problem to Frankie Pianta. It was a new gang, the south side Shells that was giving him problems. The shells insisted on making trouble in the more peaceful west side. Scaring customers away from Frankies local buissnesses.

"Danny i can't deal wit' dis' anymore I need to call someone... I got it! Blood, dammit Danny! call Blood! oh yea dat kid is a frickin killin machine!" Frankie chuckled and took a sip of his coffee.

Blood was 17, living on the east side, most had thought he would grow to help the Robbos. Blood had a crooked conciense his way of liberating was murder. Which was excactly the language Frankie Pianta spoke. The phone rang, Blood answered

"Yeah what...?! Oh hey Danny..! Frankie wants me ah? aaight ill be over dere in 5. see ya Danny!" Blood hung up
"MOOOOOM I'LL BE RIGHT BACK OKAY? AHM GONNA GO TALK TA' FRANKIE!" Blood knew she heard him, and walked
into the cold Rogueport morning. Blood saw someone in the fog, he squinted

"Ey Evan! whatchew doin up so early ah?"
"Ah could say da same fa you!" Evans tall figure and light green color were difficult to see in the fog.

"Ey man how da hell did you get so tall?" Blood asked

"What about you Blood you killed anyone yet?"

"Hell yea! I cut off the head of uhh whatsisname?"

"ya did? Huh! You know Blood you should lead a gang!"

"I've been thinkin about a name! How 'bout... the Bloods?"

"Hahaha! Dats good but uhh i think its taken somewheres."

The two friends walked towards Frankies office.

Blood stepped into Frankies office and Frankie got out of his seat.

"Hey Blood! come on in i'll get you some coffee. Sit down Evan could you wait outside?"

"what dija call me in for Frankie?"


"Well Blood, as you know buissness hasn't done good
lately" Blood stopped him

"Who needs to die Frankie?" Frankie chuckled

"Blood ahm gonna give you 12 of my guys ta lead. i want you to exterminate any Shell gang members that rear thier ugly heads on dis west side, if you can do that the Shells got their message not ta mess wit us. Can ya do it?"

"Of course i will Frankie! Just think of it as a favor okay?"

"God bless you Blood, you've been my best friend for six years. Now we do this tommorow."

"Hey Frankie what kinda gun am I usin?"

Frankie passed Blood a 12 gauge shotgun

"Yeah! I can work with that!" Blood grinned and loaded the gun.

[Sky]

Nice, this is pretty interesting. Rogueport hasn't seemed to change even though it has, gang wars are still something of the present, heh. What I want to know is what'll happen next.. (Wait, that happenes in every story YW, your just being redundant saying you want to read more since you always want to read more and you're talking to yourself again and sounding silly) Yeah, I want to know what happens next. This could lead to many different eventualities, and I wonder which one will happen, or even better, if you surprise me with something I didn't think of. I'll read more Blood, go for it!

[bloodoftheyoshi]

chapter 2 is hea!! kinda short...

CHAPTER2:MEET THE EXECUTIONER

Blood crouched in the dark, watching the lot around the Pianta Casino, Blood saw a small band of Koopa Troopas armed with tec-nines, Blood chuckled

" Tec-nines? is that the best they got?"
Blood ushered his group to the wall in front of the fountain. The koopa gangsters found a toad and beat him taking his money

"Gimme your wallet shroom headed freak!"
one of the koopas commanded

"No don't hurt me!" The helpless toad begged
The koopa gangsters laughed

"Hahaha save it rich boy!" The leader shot him and the toad went limp. Blood could not help himself. He stood up fired and wasted the leader with a direct shot to the head.
the other koopas fired at Blood and he ducked. The bullets stopped, and all 12 of Bloods Pianta team picked a target.
BOOM! The shotguns sounded out and 7 koopas fell at once.

" Nice job guys" Blood said. One koopa was still half alive and tried to crawl away. Blood took the tec-9 from his hand, and mercilessly shot the koopa until the gun was out of ammo.

"STAY DOWN PUNK!!" Blood yelled. Blood took out a knife
and cut off the koopas head. He drank the blood leaking from his neck, and grew taller.

"This is proof that we got the job done" The other Piantas laughed and they walked back towards Frankies office.

[Sky]

Poor Toad, it will be remembered... heh.

Well, one thing's for sure, is that you have the mood down of the story's setting nicely. Gang wars never go around by pinching and slapping each other. It's good, but don't go overly gory with it later on, heh.

What's to come now I wonder, write on bud!

[bloodoftheyoshi]

its here!! LEVEL UP ! !
CHAPTER 3: LEADER OF THE SHELLS

Bowser Jr. sat in his chair awaiting news from his right hand man. There was a knock at the door.

"Permission to enter, Boss?"

"Come in" Jr. said "Captian Shard, Did the gang of koopas make it to thier target?"

"Unfortunatley they didn't boss, they were killed by some of Frankie Piantas men."

"Hmmmm that is unfortunate, but it's okay, I have a new plan."

"What is it boss?" Bowser Jr. pulled a map from his desk

"lets see here there are many areas in this place,Rogueport,Petal Meadows, Boggly Woods, Glitzville,Twilight town, Keelhaul Key, Poshley Heights, And Underground Rogueport our base. Imagine Captian Shard
if our gang controlled every one of those places, theres lots of money in that you know. We could make trillions! and Frankie Pianta would have nothing."

"That is true Boss, but how are we going to control this place?" Bowser Jr. laid out a crystal star on his desk

"We need the rest of these."

"But boss the rest of the Crystal Stars are locked away in Poshley Sanctum"

"Which is why we need help Captain Shard call Ishnail, the leader of the Robbos"

[Sky]

The story now gets deeper, instead of just fighting between two factions, one seeks to expands its own territory and engulf the other that way, I wasn't expecting that at all, nor did I think that the stars were going to be involved at all in this fic, congrats, you surprised me.

Bowser Jr. the head boss, hehe... that made me laugh.

[boomiester]

What I like about this fanfic is how it differs from others with things like gangs, blood, gore, violence...anyway, the writing style is good and so are the cutoffs for the chapters; suspence is key in keeping readers interested. Also the storyline is one that keeps my attention: Rival gangs at war, and now one is after the powers of the crystal stars to lead them too victory. I say keep up the good work, I'll be waitin' for the next installment.

[red.yoshi]

violence, yea, you sure got that right. i thought it was a cruddy theme at first until i remember it took place in roguepoint - the town of tough-knocks.

great job blood, you got some skills there.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

hey im glad you like what i write! well heres chapter four!

CHAPTER 4: ISHNAILS SURPRISE

Bowser was at the end of the long table waiting for his guest, with guards at his side just in case. Ishnail came in.

"Come on in, Shard, get Ishnail a drink would you?" Jr. asked.
Ishinail spit.

"You?! what do you want?! I didn't know I was meeting with scum!"

"Ishnail, calm down" Bowser said calmly "We're both scum here, you rob, i kidnap and murder, and... Frankie Pianta is scum as well, do you agree?" Ishnail felt uneasy

"Yeah and your point is?"

"I see the way the syndicates are always beating you around, never letting your gang grow." Ishnail stopped him.

"Cut to the chase! what do you want from me?"

"I want you to help me rob Poshley Sanctum." Ishnail was shocked, but did not show it, he nodded his head.

"Ok, but whats in it for me?"

"Half of everything I get, power, money, everything! Plus the assured death of Frankie Pianta!" Ishnail walked towards Bowser Jr. and shook his hand

"Ok, you got a deal!"

[boomiester]

hmmm... very short, but it yet again changes the story, now two gangs are against the Pianta syndicate (Ishnail is the leader of the Robbos right?). Anyhow, I smell a doublecross comming on Bowser jr.'s part.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

well i wont give away the story,anyhow heres ch5 (I like the titleXD)

CHAPTER 5: ISHNAILS 11

It was midnight Ishnail, and 10 of Ishnails force, Snuck up to doors of Poshley Sanctum ishnail looked at the door

"Pffft a padlock? this is gonna be easier than I thought!" Ishnail cut the lock and they all stepped into the sanctum.

one of Ishnails gang turned on a flashlight and looked for cameras, he found three and destroyed them with a silenced pistol. Another member stepped up with a fire extinguisher and aimed at the floor to expose the laser tripwires.Six of Ishnails gang nimbly stepped through the tripwires, and attempted to break into the glass safes containing the crystal stars.

"Haha i got one boss!" The robber leaned on the safe and held up the crystal star. The safe fell and broke producing a loud crash and setting off an alarm.

"YOU IDIOT! HURRY UP ALL OF YOU THERES NOT MUCH TIME." The seven robbers cracked the safes and were dashing madly trying to reach the getaway car. They jumped in and the car zoomed off. The heist was a success. The guards dashed out the doors but to no avail Ishnail had escaped

"Hahaha! We did it boys! Now lets take this to Bowser and claim our loot!"

[nate]

Holy mama!Ho much are you gonna RIGHT??
Anyways, Good story!

[bloodoftheyoshi]

well here it is! the long awaited...

CHAPTER 6: 6 STARS, AND A LIFE

Ishnail walked into Bowser Jr.'s office once again, toting a sack that jingled with every step he took. Bowser smiled the, stars were here. Ishnail was accompanied by guards, Bowser saw this and his smile faded.

"I see you have the stars Ishnail?" Ishnail grinned and emptied the bag onto the table six crystal stars poured out

"Yes, yes i do" Bowser took out a spyglass and closley examined the stars

"Hmmmmm, yes it is true! These are no doubt the real Crystal Stars! Hahahaha! Ishnail you've done it! " Bowser got up.

"Lets go Ishnail! the south side shells are going to have a feast in your honor!" Ishnail felt safe, he had developed a liking towards Bowser. At that moment, Ishnail did something foolish.

"Guards you stay here, we will not be needing you now." Bowser had a limo waiting outside, and held the door open for Ishnail. Once the car was down the road at a good speed Bowser began to talk.

"I am very thankful that you have done me this favor Ishnail"

"Oh no problem! but i have one question, when do i get my pay?" Bowser grinned.

"It's funny you should ask that, you get an extra reward for doing such a good job! You get to meet God!" Ishnail turned his head

"What are you talking abou..OOF!" Ishnails eyes widened,
as he felt cold metal push straight through his skull.

"You heard me! You get to meet God! Did you really think I would let you take any of my fortune away from me? You are a fool, it's no wonder your petty little band of robbers never got anywhere. Sleep tight bandido." Bowser laughed evilly.

"I finally have them, I will be rich!"

The limo arrived at the base of the shells, Bowser stepped out holding tightly the bag containing the Crystal Stars. Bowser opened a secret compartment behind the chair in his office, and locked the bag with the stars in the safe he had stowed there.

"There we go, nice and safe my little jewels" Bowser shut the safe tightly.

[boomiester]

HA! I knew something like that would happen, "You get to meet God!" lol thats pretty good.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

Without further ado the chapter that needs no introduction

CHAPTER 7: PETAL MEADOWS?

Blood picked up his hat put it on and walked out the front door of his house he said hello to bandits and craws as he made his way to the underground pipe. He took the pipe to underground Rogueport, he was shocked, it was crawling with koopa gang members!

He walked over to the local underground shop to buy some fruit. His friend Kooplem an employee at the shop was screaming out the window.

"DAMNIT YOU HOODLUMS GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!" Blood noticed a koopa gangster stealing fruit from a bucket, Blood aimed and shot his shell as a warning. The gangster laughed, and Blood fired a bullet straght into his big fat mouth, silencing him permanently.

The other underground dwellers were not surprised or shocked at Bloods action, they had apparently treated the situation like a fine walk in the park.

"Thank you for that Blood" Kooplem said smiling

"Oh i didn't shoot 'im cuzza you!" Blood said, Kooplem looked puzzled

"Then what dija shoot 'im for?" Blood grinned

"I shot 'im cuz i couldn't stand the smell of his breath!" Kooplem laughed hard

"Hahahahaha! dats true! Dem guys were rottin my oranges! So anyway Blood what do you need? After that it's on the house!"

"Hey thanks ill have two melons, a dozen apples, aaaand,
a stem of grapes"

"So what brings you down here Blood?"

"I'm gonna take the pipe to Petal Meadows, I'm visitin my friend"

"Aha! well you have a good time ah?" Kooplem handed Blood his things and he walked back outside.

Koopa gang members gave him dirty looks, as Blood made his way towards the underground pipe station. He arrived and hopped into the Pipe to Petal Meadows.

Petal Meadows had never lost its beauty, the constant sun, clear waters, and crisp air, was the same. But Blood was very surprised to see koopa gangsters walking around in the peaceful burg. Blood shrugged it off and stepped in on the mayor, Koops.

Koops was slightly startled to see Blood come in.

"Um, hey Blood, what brings you here?" Blood laughed

"What? a guy can't visit one of his best freinds anymore?"
Koops smiled.

"Uh, um, no, I never said that, uh, why don't you sit down i'll make you some coffee?"

"Heh that would be nice. so Koops whats with the gang members out there?"

"Huh I dunno they all just appeared like two days ago" Koops said

"The funny thing is though Blood, they haven't made any trouble yet"

"Hmmmm well be on yer toes, its funny to me that those guys would appear without makin trouble" Koops laid a cup of coffee out on the table

"It is but then again what can we do?" There was a knock at the door.

"Blood could you answer that?" Blood got out of his seat and walked to the door. He opened it for a koopa with a black shell and a tie.

"Hello, I am called Dray is Koops home" Blood studied the koopa and invited him in. Koops spotted him.

"Yes, do you need something?" Koops said

"Yes I am here to inform you that there will be a new buisness here in town, and i have come to ask your permission"

"Well give me the details"

"Certainly" The man opened the breifcase he had and gave Koops a series of papers to sign, Koops studied them.

"Hey wait a minute! this has the Bowser insignia on it! Sir im sorry but may I ask you what you are going to build here?"

"Of course, we plan to build two hotels, a casino, a bar, and a supermarket." Koops thought

"I am sorry sir but I'm afraid i cannot let you build, the Hotels, the bar or the market you see I am good friends with small local buisness owners and thier buisnesses would be crushed if you moved in, you may build a casino though since we do not have one."

"I am sorry sir but just the casino will not be enough to keep our buisness up and running" Koops sighed

"I am afraid you will have to take your buisness elsewhere then sir, good day and I appreciate your time"

"Good day sir" Dray walked out of Koops front door and before closing it he said

"You WILL hear from us again"

[Sky]

These keep adding more and more to my thrist for wanting to know more! (three mores in one sentence, have I talked badly that much recently XD) I can't wait, that threat as the last line may be ... how to say... overused in lots of stories like that, but it's such an effective way to pump the reader into getting stuck on the story, good job! *waves "I WANT MORE" flag*

[bloodoftheyoshi]

um chapter 8 is here yay!! ^^

Chapter 8: Four Creatures Were Stirring...



It was nearly 2:00 AM in Petalburg. The local shop owner was cleaning and taking inventory went suddenly there was a noise.Zip! The shop owners body went limp. And a koopa dropped down from the ceiling

"Hahaha." The koopa laughed quietly, he slowly walked to the shop door and turned the sign to closed

Frankie Pianta picked up the daily newspaper the front page headline was: POSHLEY SANCTUM ROBBED! CROOKS ESCAPED! Frankie sat up in his chair astonished. Frankie thought he knew who was behind it. He put on his coat and headed towards the east side.

The east side was very quiet, usually it was crawling with Robbers trying to get in a morning heist. Frankie dissappeared into the crack in the wall where the Robbos hideout was. He opened the door to Ishnails house the room was completley empty, furniture, weapons, everything except a large chest was gone from the room.

Frankie opened the chest, the head of Ishnail was inside with a knife sticking out of the top of his skull. Frankie was
shocked, but he had to investigate. He pulled the knife out of Ishnails head, there was a Bowser insignia on the handle, Frankies eyes narrowed.

"Fiend!"

[boomiester]

heh, body in the trunk, thats something right out of the movies, but you probably ment it that way on purpose. The shop owner should have sold when he had the chance. Good job, can't wait for the next chapter.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

uhm yeah chapter eight then...

CHAPTER 9: A Quiet East side

Blood stepped out of his house into the quiet morning, the birds were not chirping and there were no robbers stirring about as usual. Blood was lost, he paced around mindlessly enjoying the sun on his skin. suddenly Blood heard a sound, he was curious, Blood walked toward the sound, into the crack in the wall and into the door of Ishnail's home. There was a craw inside, he turned to see who had come in. The craw gritted his teeth.

"YOU!! YOU KILLED ISHNAIL!! I KNEW IT WAS ONE OF FRANKIE PIANTAS CRONIES!! YOU'RE GONNA DIE KID!!" Blood was unarmed, the craw had a spear. But he was not scared he put his weight on his back leg, and put up his fists as the craw charged him blindly with the spear.

Like lightning Blood ducked under the spear and came back up, putting his momentum into a left uppercut. It crashed into the craws jaw producing a loud CRACK! the craw stumbled back and fell, knocked out. Blood looked at the craw.

"Damnit, I guess I can't get answers outta you if yer jaws broken eh?" The craw did not respond, he was out cold. Blood looked around. "Wow this place was cleaned out!"
Blood remembered what the craw had said, "YOU!!YOU KILLED ISHNAIL!!" Blood thought to himself Ishnail? dead? Blood walked out of the house heading for Frankie Pianta's office.

[boomiester]

Kinda short, but it still maintains the suspenceful ending that leaves the reader wondering what will happen next. Blood, Ishnails gang is gonna be all over you now that the word is that you killed him.
