Chapter 6

Mt. Rugged

The Mario Bros start up the mountain. Because Mario is running to fast, he trips and rolls down the mountain for a good thirty seconds. When he finally stops rolling, he is very dazed. Luigi helps him up. Once again, Mario was too stuck up to admit that he tripped and says that Luigi had pushed him. Luigi shrugs and continues. After a couple more hours of climbing, the surroundings look very familiar. “We’re going around in circles!” Luigi exclaims.

“We’ve got to get some help from somebody!” Mario says.

“I agree with you.” Mario says. “We have to find some help!” As if somebody has answered Mario’s wish, a weird (there’s a lot of weird things in this story, eh?) thing pops out of the ground. It looks like a roundish dome like thing and it is kind of brown.

“Look Mario! A Pokemon! It’s a Diglit! Gotta catch em all you know…” And with a psycho look in his eye, Luigi pulls out a Pokeball, prepared to catch the “Diglit”. But just as Luigi is about to throw the Pokeball, Mario stops him.

“Luigi, it’s a Whacka. They live on this mountain. But there are very few left because people keep whacking them to get a rare item, a Whacka Bump.” Mario says to Luigi.

“Um, Mr. Whacka.” Luigi asks. “Do you know the way to Dry Dry Desert ?”

“Whack-o!” The Whacka replies. “Another beautiful day here on Mt. Rugged . Then of course, it’s always a beautiful day!”

“Um, right. Well do you know the way?”

“Whack-o! Another beautiful day here on Mt. Rugged . Then of course, it’s always a beautiful day!”

“I’m going to hurt you.”

“Whack-o! Another beautiful day here on Mt. Rugged . Then of course, it’s always a beautiful day!”

“I have been traveling for over three hours strait without stop and I’ve been going around in circles! I am very, very tired so just tell us or you’ll be very, very sorry.

“Whack-o! Another beautiful day here on Mt. Rugged . Then of course, it’s always a beautiful day!”

Luigi looks at the Whacka then without warning, launches towards the Whacka and hits him with full force with his elbow. A strange (HA! I said ‘strange’ not ‘weird’!) sphere like object falls from the Whacka and falls to the ground.

“Whack-ow! Don’t hit me!” And with these words the Whacka disappears.

Mario stoops down and picks up the Whacka Bump. “Nice going Luigi. Now there might not be anymore Whackas on Mt. Rugged .”

“Whatever. What does a Whacka Bump do anyway?”

“I hear that it restores your health.”

“Ok. But how do we get down to Dry Dry Desert ?” They talk as they walk. Luigi trips and starts falling. He grabs onto Mario’s sleeve and they both roll all the way down the mountain. When they finally stop rolling, they realize they are In Dry Dry Desert! “Well now. I guess that answers my question.”

After a couple of more hours of traveling, the brothers have no more water.

“Need. Water. Now.” Luigi stammers. The plumbers have their heads down and are taking gasps of air.

“We. Need. Go. Dry. Dry. Outpost.” Mario stammers. “Just. One. More. Hour.” But they don’t make it. They both pass out, in the middle of the desert.
