oops sorry for the late chapter guys XDwell here we go

Chapter 10, Reno Petalburg?:

Koops was woken up by the sound of heavy machinery outside. He scrambled out of his bed and walked into the town in his pajamas. Koop's eyes widened as he saw an entire horde of koopa gangsters constructing a hotel, a casino, and two supermarkets. Koops dashed into the mix.

"Woah woah woah!! Whats all this?" Koops walked up to Dray, who seemed to be the man in charge. "Didn't i tell you you couldn't build all this stuff?" Dray turned around

"You said because of the local buisnesses correct? Well we've persuaded all the local buisness owners to...retire. So it seems like you do need help." Koops was thunderstruck, it was true! In the places where the shop and inn once stood were koopa gangsters constructing their own buildings. Koops went into one of his timid moods as he had when he was young.

"But, but I didnt sign anything.. You dont have my permission to do all this.. I'm the mayor.." Dray smiled

"You're not the mayor of this town anymore, I am. now go back to bed citizen, it's very early" Koops didn't know what to do he was outnumbered, and he wouldn't argue with the bullets of a koopa gang.

Koops hung his head low as he entered his house. Koops walked towards his couch and tripped over something. "OOF!! Whats this?" Koops looked on the ground. the dead bodies of the shop owner and the inn owner looked back at him... blankly.

[boomiester]

Poor Koops, he got 0wned by the mob, strange though how he didn't notice the bodies when he first left his house. Anyway, glad to see that you haven't given up on this fanfic.

Well... here you go....
Chapter 11 Never Forget:
Blood stepped into Frankie Piantas office. Frankie was casually looking through some mail, he looked up. "Frankie did you see the...?" Frankie only nodded and went back to his mail. "But, but what arew we gonna do?" Blood asked.

"Well what can we do? Whoever leads the shells now has possesion of the crystal stars, we cant steal them back, and we cant ask the Robbos for help because Ishnail is dead. What can we do?" Blood stopped.

"We have to do something... they're gonna own this whole world!" Frankie seemed very interested in a letter he just opened, he read it aloud. "The Robbos leader is dead, and you took the blame, they're gonna be all over you now, along with that, I am going to take over Rogueport and the rest of this world as my buisness, and you will be killed, you will not interfere. Warning you of your fate, The Shells." Frankie tore the letter apart, Blood knew what was on Frankie's mind and chuckled. "If you ask me to do this I will never accept another favor of yours again, deal?" Frankie passed Blood a dagger, and a silenced pistol. Then shook his hand. "Haha! deal!" Blood walked out of the room to find a team.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

yezzur ill make this n' a bit longer
Chapter 12 Infiltration:

Blood casually walked into petalburg concealing a gun beneath his hat. As he slowly made his way to his target.
he noticed that there were very few toads in the town anymore. It was absolutley littered with koopa gangsters. The funny thing was, that the gangsters were no longer street urchin clad, they were all wearing nice mafioso type suits, and pointy sunglasses and were not bullying the townspeople as they normally would. As strange as it may sound most of the koopas even greeted Blood as friends! Blood always responded, to not raise suspicion of his mission. The local shops had all been replaced by nightclubs and supermarkets which greatly decreased the beauty of the town. Yet Blood kept his face straight he could not let anyone know what he was doing. Blood noticed that the town had gotten much larger under koopa control. Making Bloods walk longer and more dangerous. Finallly Blood sighted his destintion, Koopahall
Casino, where Dray an underling of Bowser Jr. was supposely running his operations. Blood casually walked into the casino and went to the front desk. He approached the koopa receptionist like anyone else would.

" I would like to buy 100 coins worth of casino chips maam." Blood hoisted a small sack of coins onto the table. The Receptionist took them and counted them. then gave blood a sack of casino chips.
"There you go sir! Good luck and have fun!" Blood walked away
"Oh I will don't you worry!" Blood said. Blood looked around the large casino there was too much security at the moment. He needed a distraction. Blood noticed a pamphlet for the casinos different attractions on the front page was "Grand Opening Show At 8:00!!" Blood looked inside for details he noticed it said "All lights will be turned off to better view the stage." Perfect! As soon as the lights are turned off I can sneak into the employees only door and find Dray. Blood sat down on a bench near the entrance. There were still 15 minutes until the show began. about 5 minutes later Blood was approached by a Koopa security guard. "Is there a problem sir? Why arent you out playing?" Blood quickly thought up an answer

"I'm waiting for someone." Blood hoped that his statement would dismiss the guard, but it didn't.

"Well what do you plan to do when they get here? Perhaps I could show you to where you need to go?" Blood was a bit worried but answered casually

"No thank you, I can handle it" Blood said. The security guard raised an eyebrow.

"Sir if you could please come with me." Blood looked up. Had he been found out? Blood could not raise suspicion by refusing.

"Certainly" he said he followed the guard behind an "Employees Only" Door. And the reality hit Blood like a brick. He HAD been found out! acting quickly Blood shot the guard in the head with the silenced pistol once they were out of the casinos main plaza. Blood silently made his way up a small flight of stairs hoping that it lead to Drays office.

the flight ended and Blood found himself in a round room with a desk and a window overlooking the casino. Dray looked up shocked to see Blood . But his face straightened as he colloected himself. "You! how did you get in here!" Blood laughed. "It was the easiest thing i ever did! Now you're going down" Blood quickly drew the pistol and fired. Dray leaped to the side out of the bullets path and threw a flurry of knifes at Blood. Drays eyes widened as the knives went right through him without a scratch. Blood dashed forward with the pistol ready to fire. "You're gonna pay now punk!!!"

[boomiester]

That was the longest chapter so far. Anyway, can't wait to see if Dray gets it! hehe

[bloodoftheyoshi]

Chapter 13:Caught!

Blood charged at Dray with the pistol, Dray quickly dived to the side and pulled a stunner out of his pocket and shoved it into Blood's side. Blood came to a screeching halt from the charge and took a direct zap from the stun gun. His legs wobbled and he dropped his gun, the gun hit the floor and fired itself putting a hole in Dray's heel. Dray too dropped his stun gun in shock and fell to his knees.

Blood put himself together and focused on Dray. There was a sword in a glass case over the entrance door, Blood eyed it, then looked at Dray who was still limping from the shot. Dray tried to ignore the pain in his heel and attempted get off his knees. He then felt himself being lifted off the ground, Blood held Dray by the collar in his left hand, He walked over to the glass case and smashed it with his free hand, he then pulled the sword out, and stared at Dray. Blood shoved Dray against the wall and pinned him to it, pushing the sword straight through his chest.

The door to Dray's office opened and a yoshi in a black suit walked in, the yoshis eyes widened as he saw Dray's body
stuck to the wall. The yoshi turned and dashed off. "Raise the alarm!! Raise the alarm!!" Blood ran after him, too late. The yoshi had raised the alarm and Blood would have to run, or hide.

He picked run. His mind raced as he looked around the room for an exit. There was a window over Dray's desk and Blood opened a desk drawer to try to get a good foot hold, inside the drawer, was a silver star shaped gem which Blood had never seen before. This might be worth something, I'll take it Blood thought, he picked up the gem and tucked in into his cap. Blood did a leap and grabbed the ledge next to the window, he clicked open the lock and hopped out. after looking around to check for guards he stole off into the night. Blood took the gem he had found out of his hat. What could this be for? It looks Important... I'll take it to Frankie

[boomiester]

Glad to see you haven't given up on the story yet. Actually I was a little suprised when Dray got you with a stungun (I remember that Hax0's tazer affect you in the RP). Now that you have a crystal star, the whole story is gonna get even more interesting.

[bloodoftheyoshi]

Another somewhat peaceful morning in Rogueport had lulled Don Frankie Pianta into deep sleep there on his desk. A ray of golden light shone through the window, accompanied by a cool breeze to even out the temperature. The perfect morning. Footsteps echoed up to Frankie's office, and a knock came on the door.

The Don remained in his deep slumber as the door creaked open. A shady looking blue yoshi with a red cap, monogrammed "YW" walked in. He looked over the sleeping Don, and his blank expression transformed into an evil smile. The intruder pulled out a wonderful silver blade and brandished it. The blade had words engraved in it, in beautiful cursive it read: "Yoshi Wannabe"

The intruder neatly tapped the tip of his blade on Frankie's head. And Frankie lifted his, his jaw dropping in horror as he saw the terriffying yet handsome dagger the intruder was carrying. "Hello, Don, or Frankie if you prefer. Do you like my blade?" Frankie's face straightened.

"Whaddaya want from me? Who sent ya?" Frankie slid his hand slowly under his desk, feeling around for anything that could stun the intruduer.

"Our company wishes to make use of the spare land you have in this city." Frankie's hand gripped a stapler, but he calmly continued the conversation.

"We'll it ain't free buddy, you'll have to pay me up front. And don't you be haggling with me!"

"Don, for us, I'm sure you'll make a exception." Now was the perfect time. Frankie raised his arm, and zinged the stapler straight at the intruder's eye. It hit squarely, and the intruder fell back onto the floor, clutching his eye in pain and cursing under his breath. Frankie got up out of his desk. And picked up the stapler.

"How bout one for your other eye? Huh? If ain't got serious buisness wit me, den scram, and come back when you learn how to talk respectfully to a higher authority!" The intruder stood up And let go of his eye, which now had an evil glow to it, it was completley red. Knowing he had been beaten, he walked out into the warm sun.

Frankie grunted and lied down on his reclining chair. "Hmph, disturb MY nap will ya?"

[boomiester]

Rofl! YW got owned by a stapler!
*phew* Glad to see you didn't give up on the story cause it's an interesting one.

[Sky]

Ouchies! That hurt! I'll get you for that Frankie! >_0

Nice one buddy, YW evil, me likes >=)

[bloodoftheyoshi]

A lone blue-capped Boo holding a silver laptop wandered around the west side of Rogueport. "Hmmm, I know it was around here somewhere...Aha! West side goods. Doom 3 here I come! Ehehehehe." The capped boo floated into the small store. Gazing at the attractive female boo who was the clerk.

"Uhhm yes, do you sell Doom 3 here?" He asked. The clerk raised an eyebrow at him.

"Excuse me?" The capped boo was speechless for a moment.

"....You've never heard of Doom 3...? Oh my... Well anyway, Doom 3 is an FPS game that demands a powerful computer. Which is why I planned on trying to play it with the 125 MHZ Pentium that I built. It even has LEVEL UP ! ! pro on it! So do you sell the game?" The clerk had nothing to say except.

"No we don't sell electronics here."

"Curses... By the way... are you busy tonight..? My name's Boomeister. I was wondering if you would like to go out to dinner with me? If your schedule is open that is..." The clerk's jaw dropped.

"Uhhh... no thank you." Boomeister frowned.

"Very well, I'll go now." Boomeister floated out of the store, cursing at himself. "Smooth Boomeister, real smooth. I need better skils with women." Boomeister looked up at a red yoshi who was holding a stunningly beautiful star shaped gem, walking into an alley. "Hmmm... I wonder what he's up to.. Hey you! Wait!" Blood turned around.

"Hm?"

"What's that you have there..? It looks a lot like... No... YOU? YOU'RE THE POSHLEY SANCTUM THIE... ACK!" Blood pulled Boomeister into the alley by his tail.

"Shhh! you're going to get me arrested! Just let me explain..."

[boomiester]

Rofl! yup, that's me allright. I guess I've been making too big a deal out of my craputer(s).

[bloodoftheyoshi]

Man, it sure has been a while since the last chapter. 'Scuse me for bumping this, mods...

---------------------

The stranger stomped through town, clutching his injured eye. He was positively steaming with anger. He wondered what his boss would say when he found out that an office supply had stopped him from achieving his goal. This was his first failure in his entire career, and also his most embarrassing.

YW headed for the pipe that lead to underground Rogueport. He was racking his brain thinking of how he would explain his failure to his boss. YW knew he would be punished, along with his pay being docked, but lying would only make it worse. He decided to be honest, and take the pain. With a deep breath, he jumped into the pipe.

YW tried not to attract too much attention, he didn't want anyone to know about where he was going, or why. Nobody ever stole a glance at him anyway, the people underground were much too concerned about themselves to care. There was always an icky silence underground, nobody talked to each other, they went about their days, the only sounds heard were the opening and slamming of doors.

There were no police or any form of law enforcement down there, and yet, there was no crime. Nobody seemed to take advantage of the fact that they could easily get away with anything. Underground was just a way of getting places to most people, including YW.

Finally YW stopped in front of a small square building with a large padlock on the door. He pulled a key from his belt, unlocked it, and walked inside.

Inside the building, there was a small circular platform on the floor. Directly above it, there was a dome connected to the ceiling, next to that, there was a wall of large, heavy machinery with lights that flashed rythmically together, and last, a big red button. YW pressed the button, the dome and the platform lit up, producing a transparent blue aura in the middle. He stepped onto the platform, and vanished.

YW reappeared on an identical platform in a chrome coated room. He stepped off of the platform, and left the room via a pair of steel automatic doors. The doors lead to a steel-floored hallway. YW walked right towards the end of the hallway. The walls were covered with pipes, dead security cameras hung from the ceiling, there were cobwebs in every corner, and rats scurrying across the floor. YW reached the end of the hallway, and the steel door slid open. A white Shy Guy with a Marine's cap was standing in the middle of the next room.

"Did you complete the task I asked you to do?" The Shy Guy asked.

"I... I didn't..."
