CHAPTER 3>>>My Name’s Booster
The four get to Mayor Ro Casa’s house. When they arrive to the door, a tall, black Yoshi with long platinum hair exited the house. He also had a long gold cape with a high collar, red eyes, sharp purple shades, and a serpent tattoo on his chest.
Black Yoshi: Hm? You must be a fighter yourself. Yes, you have much determined eyes. I have a...well, a feeling we’ll meet again. Fuhahahaha...
After the strange Yoshi left, Lava, Domino, Mario, and Luigi go in to see the mayor, who’s some green-dressed Shy Guy with some nice glasses on and a neat ‘stache.
Ro Casa: Ah, welcome! Yes, welcome to my home in Metropo Isle!
Domino: Mr. Mayor, may I...
Ro Casa: Oh? What can I do for you, your Loveliness?
Domino: Well, I saw something peculiar--two roughneck Goombas had a clear-white jewel with an aura with them. What got me suspicious about it is that when they got onto me, I struck back, but they recovered their strength fast! I think it was because of the jewel, but I’m not sure...
Ro Casa: Wait! A magical gem of sorts? Hmmm...Most people wouldn’t believe such a thing, but if it’s true, we must be on our guard. We’ll set up an investigation immediately.
Mario: You’d really do that, Mr. Mayor?
Ro Casa: Well, I can’t let hoodlums like those two Goombas endanger such a cute girl, or anyone for that matter.
Domino: Uh, right...’gulp’
Luigi: Whoa! I wouldn’t think.
Lava: It’s...possible. But I hope not.
Ro Casa: Why don’t you four visit our town’s pride and joy--the Metropo Colosseum! It’s THE place for superstars to show off their best skills.
Lava: Cool, a Colosseum! I can’t wait!
Yeah, it seemed like a good idea at first, but when they got there...
Receptionist: I’m sorry, but the current challenge is underway. Please come again some other time.
Domino: Even I tried to enter a challenge, but there was already one. ‘sigh’
When they left, there were five unfriendly faces awaiting outside.
Koopatrol: There you are, Lava, you double-crossing traitor!
Domino: Hey, aren’t these guys from Team Koopa? Wait...that means--
Magikoopa: Yep! Lava Yosh is from Team Koopa as well, sweetheart!
X-Naut: But he ain’t techically a member. He’s actually a genetically-created Yoshi meant to fight for us.
Laser Snifit: Yeah, but his heart turned soft for some reason and he busted out.
Luigi: Th-That kind of talk’s creeping me out.
Domino: Is-Is this true, Lava?!
Lava: Well, yeah...I didn’t really wanna tell you before...
Mario: That’s a little shocking, I guess...
Hammer Bro: Alright, you come with us, kid!
Lava: I told you, I’m not helping you find...uhhh...whatever those jewels are called!
Magikoopa: Right, the legendary Soul Gems! Sorry we never said the name.
Domino: Soul Gems? I think I heard a story about them...
X-Naut: Then you’ll know that they hold the essences of the greatest powers, I assume.
Koopatrol: Since the maker was scared of evil using them, he scattered them across the land.
Laser Snifit: Hey hey hey!!! Keep that stuff secret, dingbats!
Domino: ‘gulp’ No wonder those creeps are chasing you.
Hammer Bro: “Creeps”?! That really hurt! We’ll just have to take you along by force!!
Lava: You wouldn’t!!!
The Hammer Bro threw a fast hammer at Lava, bashing him beside his right eye. He quickly sprang at Hammer Bro and inhaled him, chewed him up, and spat him at the other Team Koopa thugs.
Hammer Bro: Th-Th-That...w-was...rea-real-really...s-sc-sca-scar-scary! Make it stop!
Koopatrol: Don’t think we’ll forget this! We’ll get you eventually! (they all flee)
Domino: ...Wow...That’s all I can say. So you’re from Team Koopa. Oh, right, former Team Koopa, I guess I should say. Well, it doesn’t really matter.
Lava: ...What?
Domino: Well, you managed to help rescue me, after all. I think it’s good that you knew what was right.
Lava: Well...uhhh... ... ...yeah, thanks. (in runs Shy Guy Girl)
Shy Guy Girl: Something about the Mayor’s house--luckily, the Mayor’s not there, but some tough guys entered. I think I even saw the two Goombas from the truck!
The four ran back to the other side of town and when they got in, guess who they saw. Yeah, the Goomba Bros., three Snifits, and some nut with a frizzy black beard, a big red nose, a silly red outfit, and a ridiculous horned helmet.
Blue Goomba: Master Booster! There’s the specimen Lava! And the princess and the Mario Bros. are with him!
Booster: Ohohohoho, Bowser should’ve warned us ahead of time about this kid. Look, you four might as well give in right now! Our boss of the Nelcom organization really demands for the Soul Gems, and having you in the way just won’t do! I just better not see you superstars alive. (turns to Goomba Bros.) Oh boys! Boys!
Blue Goomba: We will, Mr. Booster!
Booster: Be sure to bring all four of ‘em to my office, OK? And...try not to fail this time. Anyways, I must make my return to Canyon Isle. Let the music spin! I’m outta here! (Booster theme plays)
He makes his leave with the Snifits trailing behind him. The Goomba Bros. step forward.
Blue Goomba: We’re gonna tear you all apart, right here, right now!
Red Goomba: Just try us, blunderstars! We trained for this rematch!!
Red pulls out the big clear-white jewel Domino told about.
Domino: Hey!! That must be a Soul Gem!
Red Goomba: That it is! We’re gonna power up with this pretty gem!
Just as he said it, a white aura surrounded the Goomba Bros. They became bigger and meaner than before!
Blue Goomba: Yeeeaahhh, baby! You’ll be toast when we gang up on you!
He smashes into the heroes, sending them deep into a wall. They seemed to be almost finished.
Lava: Wait--let’s gang up on one bro at a time!
Luigi: I hope this plan works...
The four run at Red Goomba and start burning, punching, kicking, egg-tossing, freezing, zapping, stomping, and headbutting him. Soon, he drew out the white flag and lost his Soul Gem power.
Red Goomba: That was just stupid! I’m mad at myself!
Then they do the same to Blue. He gets shrunk back to normal as well. He also drops the Diamond Soul Gem.
Blue Goomba: Wow, I can’t believe it! You beat us! And got our Soul Gem!
Red Goomba: And you DON’T congratulate the enemy!! Great, Booster’s gonna stomp us good!
Blue Goomba: Run away! Run away! (they flee)
Domino: Wow! We just recovered a Soul Gem! I’m sure the other bad guys have the others.
Lava: So, we better get the others before they use them for...I don’t know...
The four get to Mayor Ro Casa’s house. When they arrive to the door, a tall, black Yoshi with long platinum hair exited the house. He also had a long gold cape with a high collar, red eyes, sharp purple shades, and a serpent tattoo on his chest.
