[h3][color=ed1c24]Mario[/color][/h3] [b]Location: Toad Town - Streets[/b] [b]Mentions:[/b][@Jensoman][@tex][@Kafka Komedy][@Lmpkio] The Mushroom Kingdom was going to hell in a handbasket and not just because of the rampage the insignificant little egg was waging against him. No; there were more important issues popping up such as the army of goblins and octoroks, and the… Mario glanced in the direction of the castle. His dark brows were raised high upon his forehead as he immediately recognized the scream. It was Princess Peach! Was it Bowser again? The plumber scowled dangerously, appearing as serious as he had ever been so far. [b]That’s probably the princess. Ya might wanna check that out buddy.[/b] [color=0072bc]“You don’t hafta' tell me twice,”[/color] Mario muttered to the thief. Whatever issues they had between each other were temporarily resolved with the appearance of the new threat. And if he wanted to go about saving the princess from Bowser, then he needed to get rid of Jr. Troopa. As the egg went flying toward him, Mario thrust out his hand to catch the egg like a ball in the palm of his hand. He bore his teeth for he felt the impact sting and make his entire hand go numb. He brought the egg between both of his hands, keeping Jr. Troopa trapped in his own shell. [color=0072bc]“Hey, do me a favor will ya?”[/color] he called to Bonnie. [color=0072bc]“Batter up!”[/color] Turning sideways, Mario stood in a pitcher’s stance as he drew back the egg, raised his leg, and throwing his strength into the pitch, sent the shell spinning in a screwball toward Bonnie. If that shy girl was as good as she seemed with a bat, then he was expecting a home run. If she managed to pull it off, then Mario would sprint for the castle.
