In the Night

By Mary Beyer

Kootie Pie was watching a new show called Sailor Moon. She gazed at it with a sideways look. It was okay, it would be even better if she fought for chaos. But, ah, what are ya gonna do? As the credits rolled she switched off the TV. She walked to the brand-new Gateway 2000 computer with 12 GB. The Koopalings had convinced Bowser and pitched into buy a computer. Together they had 100,000. There was 1,000 coins left over so they got a phone line too. She typed in "MarioStinks", which was their password for Enteract. Their screen name had been a unanimous vote. It was "KoopasRule"! She popped open mail. There were twenty messages from Enteract telling them to pay their bills or they would shut them down. Kootie Pie dumped them. She clicked "Search" and typed in "Sailor Moon". A list of sites came up. There were fifty; she clicked on one that said "Order Sailor Moon Stuff!"

"Nothin’ here," Kootie Pie said. Then she went back to the front room. She turnedthe TV  back on. Then Cheatsy came up and turned on the Simpsons. It was the episode where Homer and the family went to Storybook Town. As Cheatsy laughed Kootie Pie decided she was gonna go try to take it out on Mario. She stormed outside. A song from Sailor Moon stuck in her head. She walked towards Mario’s Pad.

Mushroom Kingdom…

Mario was buying a Pick Me Up in the shop. The shopkeeper was unpacking some new stuff as he was leaving.

"Hey, Mario!" the shopkeeper said. Mario turned around.

"Hmm?" Mario asked.

"There’s this thing I got that says "Triumph Potion". Want it?" he asked. Mario nodded. "Okay, that’ll be 38 coins."

As Mario walked home, he got the eerie feeling a Koopa was nearby. He stopped at his front door and looked around. Then a rustle came from the bushes.

"HYAH!" Kootie Pie screeched, jumping out of the bushes. Mario jumped out of her path and she smacked into the wall. She stirred and got up. Mario decided to try the Triumph Potion. As he drank it, his entire world went wild. Then it went black.

"Ohh…" Kootie Pie moaned. She looked around. Then the sound of a door slamming came to her ear. It was Mario. He walked closer.

"So," he said, his voice strange and full of evil, evil that went beyond any Koopa’s comprehension.

"Huh huh?" she asked for no reason.

"Say ‘Nighty-nighty’ brat!" Mario said. He drew his fist back and launched. Kootie Pie’s mind was shutting down. She could faintly hear, ‘I WILL RULE THE WORLD!’

Bowser’s Keep…

"WHERE IS KOOTIE PIE?" Bowser roared. "CHEATSY?"

"Um, I saw her as I was… innocently watching the Simpsons," Cheatsy said.

"Uh uh!" Big Mouth said. "You turned the station in front of her and watched the Simpsons. Then you laughed at her as she stormed out. I know that was going to blow it off on Mario cuz where else could she go?" They were all in the computer room. Bowser was so angry he ripped the computer and phone line out of the wall and threw them out the window. The Koopalings didn’t even wait for him to tell them what to do. They all ran their separate ways to Mario’s Pad. Ludwig got there first.

"Hellooooooooo? Mario?" he yelled. "KOOPAS RULE THE UNIVERSE!" ‘Haha. That will make him come running!’ Ludwig thought.

"Oh, really?" a voice mocked from the shadows. Then Mario stepped out. Ludwig almost was scared. Mario’s voice was full of hatred and evil. Then he waved a wand. Ludwig recognized it. It was Kootie Pie’s!

"Now say ‘Mario is the master of the universe'," Mario said. He waved the wand and shot something. All Ludwig could remember was evil laughter.

And on it went. A Koopaling would come, Mario would take them by surprise, and knock them out. After a while, Bowser came. The battle went like this:

"You plumber! WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY KIDS?" he roared.

"You’ll see…" Mario said silkily. He waved the wand and blasted King Bowser.

"Uhh..." Kootie Pie moaned. She stirred and woke up. She looked around and saw all her siblings and even her father chained up. She had a simple ball and chain. Then, Hip stirred.

"Hip!" she called softly.

"Unn..." Hip moaned. "Kuh-kuh-koo-Kootie P- Kootie Pie? I… uh… OHH! I’m so hungry. Do you have any food? I’m so weak. I was the last… uh… Koopaling to come. I suspect the others were zapped and ripped from their energy. Here." He seemed to be chanting softly. "With my last ounce of Ice Power…" Suddenly he sat up. His voice became more confident. "I will set you free." Suddenly her chain rusted and cracked. She saw a magic wand. To her surprise, it was hers. She walked out.

As she appeared outside, Kootie Pie saw she was next to Mario’s house. ‘He probably built a dungeon,’ she thought. Then a huge energy blast came from the trees. She dodged it.

"So the little Koopette wants to play?" Mario said with heavy sarcasm. He blasted again, but Kootie Pie whipped out her wand. She blocked the blast and continued blocking. Then, the song from Sailor Moon came to her mind. She made a few changes and the new song inspired her to sing it.

In the Night

Here I’m standing in the night, my magic wand the only light
Alone against my darkest fear, but I sense my sibs are near
I’ll draw from each the power I need, Evil Plumber we will defeat!
Give me the strength to carry on. With all our power we can’t go wrong. Only together face the fight, nothing can stand our might!

Little by little she sensed the presence of her brothers. Her father was not sensed, though. One by one her brothers gave her power.

"Desert Power!" Big Mouth cried.

"Grass Power!" Cheatsy chorused.

"Big Power!" Hop cried.

"ICE POWER!" Hip cried, louder than anyone.

"Sky Power!" Bully’s strong voice cried.

"Plant Power!" Kooky’s devious voice echoed.

"WATER POWER!" Kootie Pie yelled. "UNITE!"

Give me the strength to carry on! With all our strength we can’t go wrong! Only together we face the fight, nothing can stand against our might!
With all our strength the battle’s won, with all our power we can’t go wrong! We have the strength to carry on!

The next day…

"Hey!" Kootie Pie cried. "WHO TOOK MY NAIL POLISH?!" She ran downstairs. Her brothers were working on something.

"LEMME SEE!" she yelled. They held up the project. It said in purple nail polish:

Thanx Kootie Pie. From,

Bully Kookie Big Mouth Hip Hop Cheatsy

"Aw, how sweet!" she said. "Thank you."
