This one's a bit emotional, but still a neat one.

[glow=red,2,300]CHAPTER 6>>>Reign of Plasma Piranha[/glow]
Vivian: So, may I help you four out? I don’t think we’re safe if the other six Soul Gems are just sitting out there!
Lava: We don’t mind.
Shaman Girl: Wait up! I must tell you something!
They stop and go to the Shaman girl named Merluvlee, the future-seer.
Merluvlee: I can see a black swirl holding a golden jewel to the east.
Domino: The east?...!!! That’s where Jade Forest Isle is! I was on my way back home to there.
Merluvlee: Then it must be no surprise that your destiny points to there.
At Jade Forest Isle, they come, and so few citizens are around.
Domino: Oh no!! What happened?!
Dayzee Passerby: Princess Domino! What took you?
Domino: Some thugs kidnapped me while I was on my way here, but Lava here saved me, and we were trying to clear up a problem in Canyon Isle.
Dayzee Passerby: Really? You guys beat up Booster? Cool!
Vivian: So what happened here?
Dayzee Passerby: Well--(a thud nearby, everyone runs inside) Uh oh! It’s back!! Go to your father’s place and he might tell you! (runs into a house)
So, without knowing what else to do, they ran into the big gaudy hut. There was a slightly tall Orange Yoshi with a white vest and a blue headband with a feather in it hiding behind a pillar until the shaking stopped.
Orange Yoshi: Phew...I hope he didn’t get anyone...
Domino: Dad! You’re OK! Sorry I’m a bit late.
Orange Yoshi: No, it’s OK. I heard you and the others here stopped Booster. (to Lava) Greetings. I’m Chadano, the chief of this town. I must thank you for saving my daughter.
Lava: It’s no problem, sir. So, what’s the thing everyone’s afraid of here?
Chadano: This Piranha Plant's much feared here, and it lurks in the heart of the Jade Forest. It is called the Plasma Piranha, since it uses electricity in so many ways. Its everyday come-by snackings has Jade Forest Isle on a sea of lava and we’re sinking fast.
Lava: ‘gulp’ It eats people?! Scary! Can you tell us more?
Chadano: Sure. Its electricity isn’t usually as dangerous as it is now. It now penetrates even electrical insulation! We’ve always noticed that it wears a necklace with a gold jewel. It seems like it’s the Soul Gem.
Sooooo, the five try to go into the Jade Forest. They keep traveling until they hear a scream from the city. They rush back there and see the Plasma Piranha assaulting a yellow Yoshi on top of a skyscraper.
Lava: C’mon! We gotta save that Yoshi!
They go into the skyscraper and go up via elevator and when they reach the roof, Plasma already ate the yellow victim.
Plasma: Who’s there?!!...Oh, more appetizers--Wait wait wait...What have we here? Princess Domino! Heh heh heh! Now the city’s gonna be more desperate!
It dives its jaws at Domino, but she jumps to the side, making it miss altogether. They beat on it until it coughs up the victim, then Plasma uses static to paralyze everyone. Then it tries to eat Domino, but Lava uses his telekinesis to stop it from moving to her.
Plasma: Huh? You must be Lava Yosh! Yeah, Nelcom told me...though it means nothing!
It then swallows him whole, after slight chewing, and leaves. After everyone recovers, Domino looks into the forest where Plasma snuck off to.
Domino: ...This has gone too far. We can’t let that Plasma Piranha keep snatching others! If we do, it could spread to the rest of the world at this rate. Lava's done so much for us so far, and we can't let him down now!
Mario: That’s the confindence! We just need to go in there and try to find a way to stop Plasma!
Domino: I know...but I’m not sure how to stop it. It already penetrates insulators and paralyzes at such a rate--!!!
Vivian: What is it, Domino?
Domino: ...I think I know what’ll help.
She pulls out a bright shiny blue-and-yellow badge.
Domino: On my 10th birthday, Dad gave me a Gadd VoltMirror, which can reflect any level of electricity.
Luigi: Gadd(c)?! Cool! If it's Gadd brand, it should work!
Domino: I don’t know if it’ll work, but it’s worth testing.
She clipped the VoltMirror on her vest and ventured off into the forest to Plasma Piranha’s hideout.
Plasma: What a shiny badge you got there. Don’t tell me: it’s a VoltMirror! That can be a problem...I better swipe that thing!
It lunged forward at Domino, but got singed by Vivian’s flaming punch. Then, Plasma used an electric field to set the area on fire. No one could go anywhere.
Plasma: Stand aside, princess! (whips Domino into the fiery field) I better get rid of you three first.
Luigi: Oh no!! That fire’s probably killing Domino!
Vivian: OW! Not...able...to...hide...in...shadow...paralyzed...
It charges up a massive thunderbolt, and just when it throws it, Domino, her skin a bit charred, jumps in the way, sending the bolt back at Plasma.
Plasma: YEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUCCCCCCHHHHHH!!!!! A DOUBLE-COUNTER VOLTMIRROR?!!!! NO WAY!!!!! IIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT’SSSSSS TTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMUUUUUUUCCCCCCCHHHHHHH FFFFFFOOOOOOOORRRRRRRR MMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was fried to a black crisp and collapsed, coughing up every single victim, including Lava, who unfortunately was unconscious. In his hand was the Gold Soul Gem.
Mario: Lava!! Don’t tell me--
Vivian: What now? We give him CPR or something?
Domino: No, we head for the clinic. And it seems he found the Gold Soul Gem.
At the clinic, Lava was gradually recovering.
Lava: *cough* That...was too...scary...
Chadano: You should thank my daughter for being so brave as to stop Plasma and save the others.
Lava: Yeah, I know...
Domino: At least by next morning, we’ll be able to head for the next Soul Gem.
Chadano: Well, as a parent, I’m both proud and a little worried for you, Domino, but I’m sure you five will make it.
Domino: Thanks, Dad.

Edit: Sniff...And yes, I have Ch7 ready to put in, but I haven't gotten the chance yet, 'cuz I am a moron.
Wait, what am I saying?!!!!
