Now, for Canyon Isle. Duh--duh-duh-DUUUUUM!
[glow=red,2,300]CHAPTER 4>>>Colosseum Chaos[/glow]
They pass by a construction area, where a tower with a Colosseum on top would be after the crew clean up the area.
Mario: Guess there’s nothing interesting here for now.
When the ship docks at Canyon Isle, they notice a Lil’ Sparky of the police force talking to a shady Bandit.
Ampere: That had better be true, Larson, or I’ll be on you like THAT!
Larson: Oh, it’s true, Mr. Ampere. I don’t have anything to say about it. You can go now. (Ampere leaves) Heh heh heh! What a dork! Yeah, I don’t have anything to say about it to YOU! Hahahahahah!!!
The four just ignored it, and they saw a bunch of thugs around the square. One female Koopatrol appraches Lava.
Koopatrol(F): Hmm, what a fine piece of work. Wh don’t you ditch that shrimp behind you and we hitch up?
Domino: "Shrimp?" Hey, that wasn’t nice!! Lava, I wanna have a 1-on-1 with her!
Lava: OK, Domino. Just don’t let her take advantage of you!
Koopatrol(F): Oh, this will be fun!
The Koopatrol launches at Domino in her shell, but she just inhales her, spits her high up, then throws a few eggs at her as she falls. Victory to Domino!
Domino: Wait--I know this spot! They call this Duel Square, and it’s where I saw the Goomba Bros. with the Soul Gem.
Luigi: Chill, princess. Shouldn’t be any problem as long as we stay together.
They go into the Colosseum office and meet the previous owner of Canyon Isle, Sockem the Koopa.
Little Boo Kid: Hey, big guys! I’m the lookout. There’s...uh...nothing special behind the bookcase!
Lava: No? I can see a meeting table in here if I can just...push...this...aside...
Lava pushes the bookcase out of the way and they go in. There’s a few little kids at the table.
Toad Girl: I’m bored. I’d rather play house, y’know?
Boo Boy: So, yeah, that’s why, Karie. We have to beat them bad guys to the Soul Gem thingies--huh? Odd...My little brother should be on lookout!
Koopa Girl: Hi, big people. I’m Karie! We’re discussing something important right now. Come play later.
They exit the secret meeting room and see a 9-year-old cloud kid with blue-and-white pants and a curl of pink hair.
Cloud Kid: But Sockem, we can’t let Booster have his way! He’s using you and the Colosseum!... ... ...Oh, so now you clam up. I’ve SO lost faith in you!!! (runs off angrily)
Little Boo Kid: That was Mallow, prince of Nimbus Land and Sockem’s lieutenant. He seemed kinda angry about the Colosseum and that Booster clown. He’s rarely that mad.
Lava: Booster? You mean he’s running the town? But why?
Little Boo Kid: I dunno. I’m just the lookout.
They decide to see if the cops have any files on Booster. When they go in, Ampere rushes in and runs into Domino’s head, so he got a bit dizzy.
Ampere: Chieth General Guy, I heard thum yelling about the Colotheum at Thockem’th playsh...
General Guy, Chief of Police: So did I, Ampere. You didn’t need to tell me.
Ampere: (looking at Luigi) Oh, you’re not the Chief, you’re...uhhhhhhh...Mr. Greenie!
Luigi: GAAAAAHHHH!!!!! It’s LUIGI!
Ampere: (looks to General Guy) Oh, there you are, Chief! Hahaha, you’re such a kidder.
General Guy: ... ... ... ... ...Well, anyway, you four seem to be travelers, I presume. Well, now would be a good time to get out of Canyon Isle soon. I don’t know the words to describe what might happen if you do.
Lava: B-But we just got here and we wanna do something about--huh?
He noticed the Goomba Bros. in a jail cell, all content.
Blue Goomba: Oh great, it’s the lab-born kid.
Red Goomba: We didn’t wanna face Booster, so we told the cops we stole our truck.
Blue Goomba: More like “We stole that truck! Turn us in!”
Red Goomba: This is the safest place away from Booster!
They went to the Colosseum and Domino talked to a waiting Ruff Puff.
Ruff Puff: They say you can upgrade greatly if you win a knockout challenge.
Domino: That’s weird. Where’d you hear that?
Ruff Puff: From some Bandit named Larson. Y’know, Bandits are the kinda tall Shy Guys with the smirk and the big sleeves and all. He’s got neat goggles and a flashy yellow robe.
Domino: Guys? Maybe we should take to that Larson guy at the harbor.
Mario: Larson? You mean the guy Ampere was interrogating? Okey-dokey, let’s go.
They arrive to the harbor, where Larson still is.
Larson: Oh, you wanna know about the upgrading thing? Man, another person...OK, I’ll show you!
He raises a finger and it sparkles. As this happens, the earth starts shaking and the heroes are sent flying. Luckily, this gives Lava a high boost to give a neck-breaking Yoshi Bomb. Yeah, Larson got a sore back from that fight.
Larson: OWIE!!! That lyin’ fink Booster! He had this tough-sounding name “Soul Power”, but it was worthless! I wouldn’t get into that thing too far for your own sake.
Luigi: Yeah, I’d guess what that comes from.
Lava: True--Booster must have a Soul Gem. I get the feeling we should enter a Colosseum challenge...
Meanwhile at the top of a tower, Booster is widescreen-talking to Nascour, the black Yoshi that Lava met in Metropo Isle. Alongside him are the Snifits.
Nascour: I assume everything’s going to plan, Booster?
Booster: Oh, yes, Nascour! I made the Soul Powers given temporary, so they’ll beg to join us! I even swiped their normal powers secretly.
Nascour: Perfect. We need as many recruits as possible to claim the Soul Gems.
Booster: Oh, my body and mind are perkin’ up! I feel like dancing!!
Nascour: Save the dancing for after we succeed, OK? I shall talk with you later. (chat end)
Booster: Well, Rose and Violet, I must check back on that kid I got. Let the music spin! (Booster theme; he leaves)
Back on the ground, the heroes are wondering if it’s best to get involved with the Colosseum.
Lava: I don’t care what argument anyone makes. I’m gonna enter a Colosseum challenge, like it or not!
Larson: Wow. Either you’re very brave, very stupid, or most likely both. (Luigi hits him in the head)
Luigi: Shuddap, Larson.
On the way to the Colosseum, a scientist walks weakly out of the inoperative windmill and falls on the ground.
Scientist Toad: Ohhhh...Mallow crashed in here and cut off the power...Someone help out Geri...
Inside, the operator, Geri the Dayzee, is also knocked out, but manages to shake it off. General Guy and Ampere come in to see what the ruckus is.
General Guy: Geri! You OK, sir?
Geri: Sure, nothin’ hurt but my pride. Mallow just came in an’ made off with a gear, that’s all. He even yelled “The Colosseum can just shut down, then!!!”
Ampere: Whuh? Mallow? But Mallow’s Sockem’s trusted assistant AND the prince of Nimbus Land! Why’d he do something so outright rude?
General Guy: His resentment to Booster must’ve gone too far this time. Even then, if the Colosseum’s down, Canyon Isle’s gonna suffer.
Geri: Listen, son, can ya find the gear for me? I think he went northeast from here.
Lava: Northeast? That’s where the construction site is! Just a moment!
Lava ran to the harbor, jumped into the ocean, and swam towards the area. Five minutes later, he returned with the gear. Sockem came to discuss this matter with the others.
Sockem: I just can’t believe he went so far to do such a thing. What was Mallow thinking?!
Geri: Well, maybe he supposed it was the right thing, I guess.
Sockem: Yeah, maybe you’re right.
Geri: Well, quit wastin’ yer time an’ look to the entrance!
Sockem: Oh, Lava, right? And you found the gear? Good, now just fit it back in here.
After Lava does so, Geri gets the systems running again.
Geri: Oh, thirty long years o’ spinnin’ gears~ Hohoho!
In no time at all, the windmill was functioning, also meaning the Colosseum is up and running.
Sockem: Say, kid, I don’t really wanna put you through it, but can you enter and win a knockout challenge? I really need someone good enough to undermine Booster.
Lava: We’re not busy. We’ll go to the Colosseum right away!
