Last chapter, M. Para Koopa got invited by Gooms to play some Super Mario Galaxy... Upon hearing the name of the game, for some reason, M. Para Koopa got a chill run down his spine... Wonder why huh?
Well, he accepted, and now they're gonna play! So let's jump in to see what happens, shall we?
"Well, we have made progress so far!" Gooms said as he steered Mario to the Grand Star at the Gateway Galaxy.
"Yep..." M. Para Koopa said as he watched.
Some time later...
"Ok! We're at the... Good Egg Galaxy!" Gooms said happily.
"Ok... Never heard of that place..." M. Para Koopa said as he grabbed Star bits with the cursor.
"No? By your voice, it sounds like you've been there, heh." Gooms commented and kept playing.
"Me? Be there? Of course not! That place doesn't even exist! :P" M. Para Koopa said jokingly.
"Yup! Now... Ok... I think we should talk to the star guy thing." Gooms said while moving Mario towards the Blue Luma.
"Oh... Then... HEY YOU! THE BLUE STAR GUY!!!!" M. Para Koopa yelled and pointed to the Luma at the screen.
"..... Uhh... What?" Gooms looked at M. Para Koopa.
"Uhh... Did I just yell that?" M. Para Koopa said.
"Yeah... Lol" Gooms chuckled.
"Oh god..." M. Para Koopa said and covered his face with a nearby pillow while sweating.
"What's the matter dude?" Gooms said and knocked the pillow out of M. Para Koopa's face.
"No-nothing... Let's just... Keep-keep playing..." M. Para Koopa said and pointed at the screen.
"Okay then..." Gooms said and kept playing.
After that tiny incident, everything resumed as normal...
That was, until they reached another place in the game...
"Man getting that Grand Star was a joke! XD" Gooms said and laughed.
"Yeah! Like, I thought that boss was difficult, looked menacing, and just! XD" M. Para Koopa laughed too.
"It was as menacing as a Shy Guy!" Gooms said while seeing a cutscene in the game.
"But Shy Guys aren't menacing at all..." M. Para Koopa questioned.
"Yes! That's why!" Gooms yelled.
"Oh... I get it! X'D" M. Para Koopa burst in laughter.
"Well, let's go to the second dome, the Fountain!" Gooms said while entering said dome.
"Ooh... I wonder what galaxies lie ahead..." M. Para Koopa said and grabbed the Wiimote.
"Well, it seems that the first one is..." Gooms said while grabbing the pull star.
"Space Junk Galaxy!" Gooms said and put the cursor over the galaxy icon.
"Space Junk?" M. Para Koopa asked.
"Yep! Well, you'll see now!" Gooms said and started playing.
Let's skip a few minutes, where they've done some progress, and are now about to arrive at the Space Junk area.
"Eh, these Toads..." Gooms rolled his eyes while Mario talked to Captain Toad.
"Yeah, kinda boring." M. Para Koopa said.
The talk ended and Gooms took the Sling Star.
"Ok, this place looks kinda hard..." Gooms said while moving.
M. Para Koopa looked at the screen and shuddered.
"Oh... That area..." He said.
"Uhh... Again, something wrong?"
"No... Nothing." M. Para Koopa said.
"Ok then!" Gooms started playing, and in a matter of seconds he had 4 silver stars.
"Ok, just lemme get the other one and..." He stopped as Mario stepped out from a platform, and started falling.
"Oh darn it!" I had them all! Almost!"
M. Para Koopa saw the screen and went full alert.
"Oh shoot!" He yelled and flew towards the screen, as he was gonna grab something.
"I got yo-" He managed to say as he crashed with the TV and fell unconscious to the ground.
"Wot?! You ok dude?!" Gooms yelled, shocked at what happened, then the TV fell on M. Para Koopa just as Mario lost a life in the game.
"Oh crap!! Hang in there bud! I'll get some help!!!!" Gooms yelled alarmed, and ran away to search for help.
Far from there, we go back to the Battlerock Galaxy, where Yoshi's still there... But something happened...
"What?! C'mon! What's the point in doing this!!" Yoshi said, punching a glass crystal he was trapped in, while a Spiky Topman secured some locks around it.
"You see... Some dudes at the Galactic Fleet are working on an experiment.... And we expected that bothersome Mario to arrive, but I guess you'll do!" The one and only Topmaniac said, while spinning around, as if he walked.
"Oh no..." Yoshi said.
"You mean I will be taken to the "Galactic Fleet" to test on me?!"
"Yes... Well, the place is better known as the Dreadnought though." Topmaniac replied, and stepped back.
"The tube's ready to be sent, sir!" A Spiky Topmen declared.
"Yes! It's secure enough to take the dinosaur to our other base! At light speed through all those miles!" Another announced.
"Perfect... Then... Blast him off!!" Topmaniac ordered, and a Spiky Topmen pressed a button, releasing the tube they had Yoshi trapped out of the Saucer area.
"Ah shoot! HELP!!!" Yoshi screamed, and the Tube departed, along with him, to the Dreadnought.
To no avail he tried to escape, and the tube traveled at high speed, however, this tube thing passed by the Comet Observatory, and Polari, who was checking the place, managed to see the tube.
"Oh my stars! Someone has fallen to Topmaniac! I need to tell her to send help!!" Polari said alarmed, and went to look for the Guardian of the Cosmos.
Back at Earth, some Koopas are helping M. Para Koopa recover from the accident.
"Ouch... My wings hurt..." M. Para Koopa said while hastily standing up.
"Of course! The TV fell on you like a Thowmp!" Gooms said.
"Yup... Why?"
"Well, while we were playing Mario Galaxy, at the Space Junk place, I was almost winning, and suddenly Mario fell, and you kinda like seemed to want to rescue him, you flew towards the TV and WHAM! You hit the TV and fell knocked out, and the TV fell on you." Gooms explained.
M. Para Koopa shaked and felt dizzy.
"Oh... Sorry for that." He said while the other Koopas left.
"Well, I can't play Galaxy now, so yeah, guess we'll have to resume later..." Gooms said.
"That's ok..." M. Para Koopa said.
"Well, gotta go! See ya!" Gooms said and ran away.
"Bye..." M. Para Koopa said and exited the room, and saw Koopa in front of him.
"Oh... You again."
"Yes. I got called to help you after that TV fell on you. No way I was helping YOU! Wish I could see that TV falling on you though." Koopa said and chuckled.
"Ha ha very funny." M. Para Koopa said.
"Anyway.... Now that we're speaking of jokes, I got one to tell!"
"Meh, get on with it then." Koopa rolled his eyes.
"Ok :3 What does a Para Koopa have that a Koopa doesn't have?" M. Para Koopa asked.
"Oh no..." Koopa said.
"It's easy dude! Wings!!! BWAHAHA!!!!" M. Para Koopa said and burst in laughter.
"Ahaha VERY, FUNNY." M. Para Koopa groaned.
"Ha... Haha... Yeah.. I know right... Heh..." M. Para Koopa said, almost crying of laughter.
"That's why I don't go to Stand-Up Sunday at the Koopa Lounge. The most invited hosts are regularly freaking Para Troopas." Koopa said.
"Wow seriously?! I need to learn from those jokes then!!!" M. Para Koopa said happily.
"Ugh why did I even mention it..." Koopa facepalmed.
Then, Parakarry entered the room, with a letter in hand.
"Letter for M. Para Koopa! Letter for M. Para Koopa!" He announced.
"Ooh for me!" M. Para Koopa said while Parakarry gave him the letter and left.
"Let's see what it says..." M. Para Koopa said while opening the letter, and started reading it.
After a few minutes he stood there alarmed.
"Uhh... You ok?" Koopa asked.
"By the flying shells! YOSHI'S IN TROUBLE!!!" M. Para Koopa jumped, and after realizing what he said, he covered his mouth.
"Did... I just yell that..."
"Yoshi's in trouble? Ok then! What's so alarming about it? You're not befriending him, by any chances?" Koopa said.
"Nope... Actually... I gotta go, see ya!" M. Para Koopa said and flew away to a window, leaving the letter in the dust.
"HEY! ... Never mind. " Koopa said and looked at the letter.
"Hey... What does it say..." Koopa wondered while picking up the letter and read it.
"To M. Para Koopa,
If you're reading this, it's a letter that I sent you to tell you that a friend of yours is in big trouble!
We saw him being transported over to some place, however, we couldn't really figure out, and we know that you're a good pal of him, so he needs your help!
-Anonymus."
"Maybe my theories are correct indeed... I'll keep this, just in case." Koopa said, and left the room.
Meanwhile, M. Para Koopa arrived at the Comet Observatory, where he asked for certain directions...
"Hello!" Rosalina said while seeing M. Para Koopa.
"Hi there... I got sent a letter, that apparently my friend is in trouble!" M. Para Koopa said.
"Yep! We saw him being transported, to the Dreadnought apparently?" Polari said.
"Ok, so, can I reach that place from here?" M. Para Koopa asked.
"Yes! Go the Garden Dome, the one at the top." Rosalina indicated.
"Ok! Thanks!" M. Para Koopa said and flew over to the Dome.
"Good luck!" Polari said while looking.
Within minutes, he reached the Dreadnought Galaxy, wondering why Yoshi would be taken here.
"Ok, let's see..." M. Para Koopa said and jumped to the Chomp Pup Path, which was heavily modified, as there were machines and tables with buttons, many cables, and a tube at the end, which some cables were connected to.
"Wow..." M. Para Koopa said as he walked and watched around.
"Why hello there!" A Bob-Omb said and welcomed M. Para Koopa.
"Hi there..." M. Para Koopa said.
"You must of been sent here to check on our new experiment!" B. Bob-Omb said from a short distance.
"Uh... Yeah! That's why I came here! Yeah!" M. Para Koopa lied.
"Well, then come over! We're about to show it!" the other Bob-Omb said and pointed to the tube at the end.
"Ok..." M. Para Koopa said and stood in front of a panel.
"Presenting to you... The Mind Control Helmet 1.0!" B. Bob-Omb proudly announced while he pulled a lever, and the tube opened, releasing a lot of smoke.
M. Para Koopa coughed a few times before saying anything due to the smoke.
"It's put on this test subject we got sent from the Battlerock!"
"Oh... Let's see..." M. Para Koopa said as he rubbed his eyes, and the smoke went away.
There stood Yoshi, with a gray helmet connected to his head, the top flashed yellow, his eyes were bright red and he had a Bob-Omb in his hand.
"Yo-Yoshi...?" M. Para Koopa said and looked at a Bob-Omb.
"Yep! It's called Yoshi :P"
"He's under control now! He obeys orders from a few selected people from the Koopa Troop, including Bowser himself!" B. Bob-Omb declared.
"Oh..."
"Well, we haven't seen how well he fights, so let's see! Yoshi! Attack!!!!" B. Bob-Omb ordered.
"Your wish is my command!!" Yoshi said while nodding, his voice distorted.
He yelled and charged towards M. Para Koopa.
"Oh shoot!!" M. Para Koopa said and rolled to a side, avoiding the attack.
"Don't think you're getting away!" Yoshi screamed and threw the Bob-Omb he had at M. Para Koopa.
"Ahhhh!!" M. Para Koopa yelled and grabbed the Bobomb, throwing it out of the place.
"I'll try to free you bud!" He said while standing up.
"Bud? You?! Ha! Perhaps you're a traitor to King Bowser then!!!" Yoshi said, and ran towards M. Para Koopa.
"Ack! He's 100% mind controlled then!" M. Para Koopa thought and hid behind a counter.
"I see you!" Yoshi said and threw a Bob-Omb to M. Para Koopa.
"Wow! I'm buzzing outta here!!" M. Para Koopa yelled, and flew up a few meters, just in time as the Bob-Omb hit the counter and exploded.
"By the looks of it I don't think I can override it with talking, so I'll have to do it manually!" M. Para Koopa said and went inside his shell, aimed at Yoshi and flew towards him.
However, Yoshi was able to notice, and grabbed him.
"You think I wasn't aware huh?!" Yoshi said and threw M. Para Koopa to the end of the Chomp Pup Path.
"OW!" M. Para Koopa flinched as he crashed in the ground.
"Ouch..." He said while standing up.
"Well, I'll have to take him by surprise then!" He said while grabbing a Bob-Omb and flew under the planet.
"Hey... He battles good, but you aren't supposed to fight him back M!" B. Bob-Omb questioned.
M. Para Koopa heard and grabbed some star bits.
"Oh yeah?! Then take this!!" He yelled while throwing the star bits to the Bob-Ombs, one of them hitting B. Bob-Omb.
"Ouch!!! Get Goombeetle! Quick!!" B. Bob-Omba yelled, and the other Bob-Omb nodded scared, and ran away.
"Ok... Now, let's free Yoshi!" M. Para Koopa said, and threw the Bob-Omb he had to Yoshi.
Yoshi turned to see M. Para Koopa just as the Bob-Omb hit him, and exploded on his face, making the helmet he was controlled with malfunction a bit.
"OUCH! I dare you do that agai-again!" Yoshi said, his voice distorting more, and ran towards M. Para Koopa.
"Ok! However, I'll override that with this!" M. Para Koopa said and flew towards Yoshi, and punched the helmet with the star bit he had.
Everything suddenly went up in an explosion, and the whole planet trembled.
M. Para Koopa fell to a side, dizzy.
"Wooow... Whuzzat..." He said while standing up, and almost fell again.
Not too far from him Yoshi was in the ground, with his eyes back to normal, and the helmet at his side in pieces, and a Power Star floating above the burnt helmet.
"Yoshi! You ok!?" M. Para Koopa said while running over to Yoshi.
"Ouch... My head hurts... What happened?" Yoshi said, his voice no longer corrupted.
"Well, it seems that you were being tested on this mind controlling helmet, and you were controlled by it, and attacked me!" M. Para Koopa said.
"Oh darn... I guess now I owe you 2 for saving me again..." Yoshi said and looked at the ground.
"Nah don't worry, it's ok. Heck, we even found a Power Star! It must of been used to power the helmet." M. Para Koopa said and pointed to the Power Star.
"Oh cool! Let's take it with us then!" Yoshi high fived M. Para Koopa, both grabbed the Power Star, and flew away from the Dreadnought.
Goombeetle, who witnessed the last bit of what happened stood shocked, and snapped.
"B. BOB-OMB!!! BAXTER BOB-OMB!!!!!" He yelled, and the 2 Bob-Ombs arrived shaking.
"Wha-what is it-it, Boss?" B. Bob-Omba asked.
"Something bad has just happened! Very very bad!! In fact, TWO BAD THINGS!!! We need to go over to Kamek! Take us to his castle!" Goombeetle ordered, and B. Bob-Omb nodded scared.
