Chapter 24:
Her Again.

~Masamune~

Wario and Waluigi had stopped just above at the end of the stairs. Ahead of them was a large wooden door, with a small barred area high out of reach. The others were soon gathered behind them. Wario quieted them and pressed his ear to the door. Faint sound of whispering could be heard from the other side.

"Someone's in there..." Wario mumbled, "Two or three, I beleive..."

Mario nudged the much larger Wario out of the way to listen. "Sure is... we better find out who."

"Can't very well barge in" Geno noted, "Or..." He looked down at Jinx, whom was consumed in thought, "Perhaps we can."

"I understand..." Jinx nodded, "My size can come in handy for eavesdropping."

Scaling the door easily, he entered through the slim bar space and fell to the ground gracefully. Running quietly, yet at full speed he arrived at the corner. Looking over he spied three magikoopas involved in conversation. However, to make things odd enough. While one was in normal blue atire, two were in yellow and black clothes respectively.

"Curse those mushrooms! Our pay will be cut because of those meddling fools!" The black one growled.

"Yes, that whatshisname 'Tode' ruined it all. How did he control those wands!?" The yellow one replied.

"And I thought I had troubles with the 8-bits and that yoshi..." The blue one replied, "If Kamek were to find out..."

"Bah!" The yellow one retorted, "Having Princess err... 'Dazie' as a backup... we will have those wands back in our hands in no time!"

"Hmm... that Mario will probally be arriving from Nimbus soon" The black one observed, "We got the scrolls we needed, we had better depart."

Jinx turned away and went through the door back to the others and retold everything he heard about the mushrooms first.

"Thanks goodness..." Peach said, releived to know that Toad and the other mushrooms were alive.

"What are these 'wands' they were talking about?" Mallow asked, interrupting Peach.

"I know of them..." Geno mumbled, "Long ago, three powers fought for control for the planet. The mushroom mages, koopas... and the stars. The war devestated the land, so a pact was made. They agreed to make a symbol of alliance... ten wands. The mushroom mages cast a spell over wands made by the koopas. The stars sealed the spell, for each wand a element was given. The star ascended to the heavens to watch over the people, while the koopas and mushroom people seperated. The wands fell to the koopa's possesion, but over time were lost... During this time, the mushroom mages power had dwindled after being sacrificed for the wands. Which soon were inherited by the already powerful koopas. Thus Magikoopas came into existence..."

"Wow..." Yoshi said in astonishment, "That's some story. But they showed up now?"

"Yes... and apparently Toad can use them." Geno said, a certain uneasiness dripping in his voice.

Jinx decided to tell them the rest of what he had heard about Daisy.

"Daisy!? Kidnapped!?" Luigi exclaimed, "This is all my fault... If I hadn't been so quick to leave on a adventure..."

His mind began to wonder as to how it happened...

Daisy sighed, Luigi and Yoshi had been gone for a long time. They had visited the Yoshi Village to gather some fruit for their picnic. But they never returned, she wondered why. While lost in though, a loud noise was heard. Suddenly a large plot of land was surrounded by a wall of light. She started to head towards it, halfway from arriving it vanished.

In confusion she pressed forward, intent on finding Luigi and Yoshi. A shrill peirced the air, as a small object streakred across the sky. It then came closer, she could make out blue clothes riding on a wooden stick... a broom. It landed in front of her, behind it's spectacles she could make out the hideous face of a koopa.

She turned to run, but it took off and grabbed her in mid-run. Lifting her high in the sky. She struggled to get free, but was met with a spell of paralysis. Having no control of her body, she was heaped on the back of the broom as the magikoopa flew off into the sky.

When she woke, the sound of rain and thunder rang in her ears. She found herself in a damp, ill-kept dungeon. Not the typical dungeon Tatanga had kept her in, or even the one she knew Bowser used. It was a cryptic setting, bones lying across the ground. Rats lined the ground... rats... With a shreik she jumped on top of the bench and glared at the vile creatures. While the rain poured outside, she made a silent wish to the stars her stay would be short... very short.

~Lzn64~

Toad blinked at the mushroom ghost procession as it passed, and couldn't help but smile. Perhaps they were sad, but knowing that their friends were not lost forever certainly made the living mushrooms quite happy. Families were reunited, friends gave each other high fives (never mind that their hands passed right through) and the morale of the entire company was increased noticably. Toad turned back to Timier, a question he had long been wondering the answer to popping to mind.

"Hey, Timier, do you know where we are?" He asked hopefully.

"Yes. But you're not going to like it...you're in Dark Land."

"Dark Land...? I never expected Dark Land to have, well, forests and such," Toad said incredulously, gesturing at the foliage around them.

"Yes. You're on the outer fringe of Dark Land, not too far in yet. Our bodies, however, lie in the Tower of the Magikoopas, in the very heart of the place."

The mushrooms exchanged apprehensive glances. They all knew that they would be going in, and they all knew that the only non-koopas that had made it in and out of Dark Land alive were Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. They shuffled their feet nervously, eyes fixed on Toad and Tempier.

"Don't worry," Toad said softly. "We'll help you guys get back to the land of the living..."

"Of course we will," Ten said optimistically. He had only known these mushrooms for a brief period of time, but had already developed a strong kinship with them.

"Besides," Toad declared, tightening his grip on Kichra, "With this baby around, how can I lose?"

"Er...you can't, Toad." Ten's worry for his friend surged up again, but he quashed it for the moment. Now they had to worry about other things.

"Thanks for your support," Temier said gratefully, obviously relieved. "To get into Dark Land, we must cross the Noko Noko Mountains. You'll have, heh, a bit more trouble than us doing that, since you're stuck on the ground, but don't worry, you'll make it. Follow me."

"Sure, lead the way."

"You should know that the Tower is a very dangerous place... it's crawling with magikoopas."

"We dealt with the Necrokoopa and Sparkoopa, didn't we?"

"Ugh... don't remind me!"

"Sorry..."

"But you misunderstand. Kamek himself, along with his sister Kammy, reside in that Tower, and they're much more powerful than the two you mentioned. They'll destroy you in an instant, if you let them..."

"I've never met them personally," Toad mused. "Just heard stories from Mario and Luigi."

"I certainly hope you don't meet them..." Temier replied quietly.

Toad nodded and started after the ghostly mushroom, Ten close by. The forest soon collided with the face of a black, steep slope that could only be the face of the Noko Noko Mountain Range. Ten looked up wearily, he couldn't see the top from where he was. The ghost mushrooms floated easily up, but the land-dwellers had a slightly more difficult time. The mountain was slippery, and hard to navigate. They climbed for what seemed like forever, each knowing that they were headed to.

"Heh, c'mon, Toad, you're almost there," Temier called, floating just ahead.

"Easy for you to say..." Toad gasped. He nearly fell then, and grabbed Ten for leverage, which almost resulted in them both tumbling down the slope.

"Hey! Watch it!" Ten yelled, latching on to a rock for support. Temier laughed at them heartilly, and made a face in response to the glares he received.

"Just up here," He said reassuringly. "This is the top, boys."

Ten felt his stomach tie up in knots. He had heard numerous rumors about Dark Land's rivers of lava, and whispers that the sulfur layer was so thick that only koopas could survive inside. He swallowed his fear, though, and continued climbing.

Toad reached the top first, and was speechless at what he saw. The thick layer of smoke that served to blot out the sun, hence the name "Dark Land," belched from a gargantuan volcano in the center of the valley. The Noko Noko Mountains surrounded the entire area, and from the top one could see the full expanse of the Koopa's home turf. The awe-inspiring sight of Bowser's Castle sat just at the base of the volcano, which seemed to continually leak lava, and was surrounded by its own molten moat. Their destination, the Tower of the Magikoopas, stood not from that, eerily resembling an outstretched hand raking the surface of the sky.

Needless to say, Toad was just a little bit less optimistic....

----------
Meanwhile
----------

Kamek stood in the topmost room of the Tower, looking quite annoyed. His sister Kammy was hunched not far off, facing him with a defiant look in her eyes. They were obviously arguing.

"YOU go get her, you lazy bum," Kammy yelled, placing her claws on her hips.

"Hey, I gave you an order, little missy-"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Kammy screeched, causing Kamek to wince.

"- and when I give you an order, I expect it to be followed!"

"Shells on your order! Everyone knows King Bowser likes me the best, anyhow."

"Hmph. I'm his most loyal and powerful magikoopa, in case you forgot..."

"And you're also the ugliest. I have style."

"Now I know where Wendy got it from..." Kamek muttered, shaking his head. "Go and get that prisoner, Kammy, before I am forced to punish you for insubordinance to an elder..."

"Hah! Take you're best shot!"

"You asked for-" Kamek began, but froze suddenly and looked toward the western window of the tower.

"What? What is it?"

"Someone has breached the border of Dark Land..." Kamek growled, knitting his eyebrows together.

"What? Well, let's go get them, then."

"Right. Go and get that girl, and then we'll go."

Kammy muttered to herself, but her curiosity got the better of her. She grumbled all the way down to the dungeons, and waved the two guards there away nonchalantly. They shied aawy from her, knowing that she was not exactly the nicest koopa on the block. Kammy plodded to one of the many cells and peered her face inside, squinting in the darkness.

"You in there, girl?" She called, mentally cursing her eyesight.

Princess Daisy looked up, startled. She spotted the form of a short koopa at the bars, and sent a venom-filled look that way.

"Yes. And I'd like to know why!"

"You'll find out soon enough..." Kammy cackled.

"Where are my friends?"

"Oh, yeah. Speaking of them... let's go and, er, meet them."

"What are you talking about?"

"Stop asking questions," Kammy snapped irritably, as she attemted to concentrate on casting a spell.

"Why?" Daisy replied defiantly. Kammy finished the spell she had been working on, and cast it with a rush of wind and a flash of light. Daisy gasped as her joints locked up, freezing her in place.

"Hmph. Look where your mouth has gotten you now," Kammy sneered. She motioned to the two nearby guards to pick the princess up and take her upstairs. The four reached the top room with few problems, except for Daisy's angry shouting, where Kamek was waiting on his broom.

"Took you long enough," Kamek complained in a dissaproving tone.

"Quiet, you. Let's go. I want to see who our invaders are."

"Where are you taking me, you creeps?" Daisy called angrily, as she was sat on the back of Kamek's broom.

"First, we're going to see who dares invade the home of the koopas. Second, we're going to go stop your friends from meddling with Bowser's plans."

"Sounds like you're underestimating them, to me," Daisy muttered.

"Not at all. You see, when they see you, either they will give up-"

"Not likely."

"-or they will be so startled that we will defeat them easily. Don't interrupt me. I have a feeling that Necro will have a lot of fun with them, when we're finished with them..."

"Necro?" Daisy asked curiously. She wasn't worried about her friends in the least. There was no way, after all, that these two goons would be able to defeat Luigi and Mario.

"Stop asking questions," Kammy reproved her. Kamek took off, then, toward the unknowing mushrooms, Kammy close behind.

~Lzn64~

"I can't stand this..." One of the mushrooms groaned, Toad looked over and recognized her. It had been the young girl who had always been supportive of him, the one who had lured the Bloop and saved him. Her name was Truffle, or so Rinaz had told him when he asked.

"What do you mean?" The eldest mushroom asked.

"I feel like we're being watched..." Truffle replied nervously.

"That's not likely." Another mushroom interrupted, "It is far more likely their guard would be down as they would focus on the problem of Mario and the others."

"Perhaps..." Ten reasoned, "But it is likely they would be keeping an eye around. After all, the Magikoopas did return to this spot."

Toad looked back at the four who had been discussing, he hesitated to interrupt. He could see mass fear or a fight resulting from this conversation. Before, when they had been stuck on the raft this would have been a little problem. But now, with the burden of lost lives and the wands, it seemed impossible. Yet there had to be something to do, for if they were to be overcome with dread, the koopas could slaughter them. Finally he ovcercame his anxiety and spoke up.

"We are almost there, we cannot give up yet. Timier and the others are depending on us, if they are not brought back by sunset..." Toad trailed off, knowing everyone knew the after-effect, forever losing connection to their bodies. They all nodded in agreement and pressed on, while the two magikoopa sibling loomed overhead.

Daisy was now able to make them out, they were not the Mario brothers she had anticipated. Not at all, it was merely a group of mushroom peasants. They had been the cause of all this? Forcing her mistreatment by those koopa villains for a ragtag group of mushrooms. She almost winced at the thought of them barging in and grabbing her. True she wanted out, but Peach had far more daring rescues than that. Was this all that she would get, did none of them even care she had been caught?

Kamek as well was consumed with thought, mere mushrooms had dared to oppose him. Then he spotted the wands, being carried by one of the more medium-sized mushrooms in front. The Necrokoopa and Sparkoopa had fled over that? Kammy and him had entrusted them with their two wands, yet this mushroom had somehow obtained the other eight. It was an insult to think that he could master one, but then his mind drifted to the legends. It had been the mushrooms mages who had enchanted them, even if it was forged by koopa's, they still were capable of it. But the two wands that were not hidden had only been held by koopa hands, thus creating the beleif only koopa's could master them. This created all sort of possibilities, if it were true. This would open the window of the mushrooms dominating the koopa kingdom with no trouble. He HAD to retreive those wands, if not, Mario would be the least of their trouble.

"They got THE wands" Kammy observed.

"Ahh, I hardly noticed." Kamek replied, voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Well, what do we do?"

"Retreive them, they are probally after their 'dead' freinds and the princess as well. After they get what they want, we'll use her as a tradeoff for the wands."

"But she was our security in the likely event Bowser failed again." Kammy pointed out.

"With those, the entire WORLD can be our bargaining chip!" Kamek replied.

"Hmmph, I shall not be used to bargain for crude peices of wood! Those jewels didn't even look real!" Daisy retorted, clearly not amused with their charade.

Later.

"Ohh.... I can feel it!" Timier said excitedly to Toad, "Our bodies are SO close!"

"What do we DO when we get there, anyhow?" Toad asked.

"Find our bodies, put as back in!" Timier replied as if were a simple process, "Once we find them, the rest is smooth sailing! Of course.... Kamek and Kammy are another matter, we'll have to get in unnoticed."

"How do we do that?" Toad asked.

"We'll think of something" Ten interrupted in assurance, although his worst fear was using the wands.

Soon they arrived at the outstretched tower, it seemed unguarded and uncared for. Above, it's intimidating form lurked over them, daring anyone foolish enough to enter.

They were just those fools to enter.

When the doors swung open, they all expected a fierce battle by the guards. It would of been terrible for sure, as their swift escape from Kiero and company had resulted in the loss of most of their weaponry. But yet, nothing appeared. No ambush. No raid. No sudden magic barrier. Just a empty hallway filled with a musty stench that made it seem that no one had been there for a long time. They greeted it with mixed thoughts. Some were willing to go with the optimistic view of striking lucky and no one else was home. But others took the realistic view that this was set up. Regardlessly they entered the large building and went in unharmed. As they went on, the area split off. One went spiraling downstairs, and the other went upwards. Ten and Toad agreed to split up, even the spirits taking alternate courses. Toad and the others proceeded downwards, while Ten and the remaining went upstairs.

The basement was far worse, the musty smell grew even worse and the area was littered with foul little mousers. They had to make sure they kept a close hold on their items, in fear they would be stolen right out of their hands. But they continued on regardless, they soon arrived at another door. After opening it, they recoiled in fear as they saw a entireline of coffins each with a mushroom person inside. Yet the ghosts saw that these were there bodies, and Timier related that to Toad. The other spritis were still with Ten and the others though, so they would have to call them here.

"How do we go about THAT?" Toad asked as he looked up at the ceiling.

"Pretty simple" Timier replied, "I'll simply call out a sound only ghosts and... dogs can hear!"

"Well... ok, I guess that'll work" Toad replied.

Timier nodded and suddenly opened his mouth, they couldn't hear anything but they were sure he was yelling loudly. A few floors higher the ghosts accompanying Ten picked it up instantly.

"Hey... that must mean they found our bodies!" A female ghost exclaimed.

"Huh? How do you know?" Ten asked, changing his attention from the corridor ahead.

"THAT is a secret!" Another ghost replied, while waving his finger, "So we'll go down and get our bodies!"

Ten sighed and nodded, "We'll meet you back down at the entrance. Hopefully no one knows were here yet."

The ghosts soon departed and left the others alone. They began to turn around and head back down the stairs. As the were going, a nearby crate began to shake violently, they slowly began to approach it. It shaked even more as the neared it, they all jumped back in fright. Then it exploded into peices, it jumped out and landed right on top of Ten...

---------
Meanwhile.

~Ditto McCloaker~

The room was quickly filled with Mush-ghosts as they descended from the ceiling into the coffin chamber. There were gasps and cries of joy as they beheld their bodies, lying peacefully. They weren't perfect, however. Their skins all had a greenish tint to them, and there were mean-looking streaks of red across the eyes. In their mouths, even though Mushrooms had no teeth, each one had sprouted a cute pair of little white fangs.

"Hmmm... Hopefully that'll clear up when we re-enter..." said Temier. He floated, Boo-like, over the rows of coffins, until he finally stopped over the one containing a mushroom that, despite it's zombification, resembled him. He gave a broad smile to his waiting peers, and did a perfect swan-dive into his body. Suddenly, there was movement. The ghosts looked on in interest, but something was wrong. Suddenly, there was a sound like something being spat out, and a second later, Temier flew out of his body and bounced around the room, finally coming to a stop. He looked up, worried.

"It's no use!" he cried, dizzily. "I can't get in!" He rubbed his forhead with his Boo-like paw. "It's gotta be because of Necrokoopa's spell. They're under a zombie spell, and we can't get in until the spell is broken!"

The other ghosts sighed, unhappily. Toad looked worried.

"But... you gotta! If you don't get back in before sunup..."

"I know!" cried Tempier. "I know the rule! But... without some magical help...!" Temier looked at the puzzle box Toad held in his hands, and sighed unhappily.

"One of the other wands in there may have the power. Are you SURE you can't solve the puzzle?"

"I'm sure," said Toad, his sad voice tinged with irritation.

Everyone sat (or floated) in silence. That is, until one ghost happened to get a funny look on his face.

"Wait just a darn minute." he said, suspiciously.

"What?" asked the forlorn Ten.

"Just how long have we been in Dark Land?"

Everyone stopped to ponder this. A mushroom spoke up.

"Seems like a long time."

"Right!" said the ghost. Think about it! We haven't seen daylight since we entered the Koopa's forest. And it feels like we've been in Dark Land almost a day already!"

"Yeah..." said another ghost, perplexed.

"And we... haven't disappeared or anything." added another ghost.

Toad looked out the window. It was dark, so it was impossible to tell even what time of day it was. He came to a startling conclusion.

"Because of that dense overcast... the sun never really rises over Dark Land!"

"And when there's no sunrise..." added Ten.

"There's no sunset!" concluded Tempier triumphantly. "I understand what you're getting at! As long as we're in Dark Land..."

"We have all the time in the world!" cheered the ghosts in unison. A glimmer of happiness spread around the whole group, bodied and unbodied alike. Suddenly, though, Toad's eyes opened wide.

"SSSSHHHH!" he cried. "Keep it down! We're still in enemy territory, you know! We don't want anyone to hear us!" he looked around, a sweatdrop on his forehead. After a tense moment, they all sighed with relief.

Until.

"Too late." said a sarcastic voice.

They all turned, to see a familiar sight, dressed in unusually dark robes...

~Masamune~

As he began to fade into existence again, they could make out the insiduous form of the Necrokoopa in all his horror.

"You little..." He mumbled, "I see you noticed my special little barrier, hmm?!"

"What is this!?" Toad demanded.

"The power of the wand... Morgress is what granted the spell." The Necrokoopa replied, "And only the opposite can remove it, but as I see... it is quite unnaccesable right now."

With a wave of his hand, the room was surrounded by several more blue magikoopas. Obviously the normal ranks who were slightly skilled in all aspects, but not superior in any. Each one held their rods at the mushrooms as magic engulfed the wooden ends.

"We'll be taking that little box you have there..." The Necrokoopa replied grimly, "In exchange for..."

To their suprise, Mario, Luigi and the Princess suddenly appeared in chains and bonds. They looked tired and downcast, as if they had no reason to live at all.

"The life of your freinds." The Necrokoopa finished.

Toad looked at Timier, then over to Mario and the others. A choice had to be made, either risk the lives of all the mushrooms and the three prisoners and try to win. Or he could simply hand them over, save the threesome but eternally doom the ghosts to be without a body. Of course, his decision was suddenly halted as a large furry creature suddenly pounced on the Necrokoopa. The surrounding Magikoopas likewise vanished, apparently being some sort of mirage. Then the three prisoners were transformed in to the yellow clad forms that made up Transakoopa atire. Approaching from the rear of the beast, was Ten and the other mushrooms. The three transakoopas then casted a spell, causing the three of them, including the Necrokoopa, to vanish.

"What happened!?" Ten asked as he walked in, "They are all ghosts, still!"

"Yes..." Toad sighed, "The Necrokoopa used his wand to seal the bodies inside."

"So were stuck." Timier finished, "But on the bright side, we still mantain a link as long as we or the bodies don't leave the Dark Land."

They all nodded and took in the situation. They would have to unlock the puzzle box, but only Kiero and his gang knew exactly how to do it.

"What... is that!?" Rinaz exclaimed, breaking the silence as he pointed to the large mammoth of a canine.

"Hehehe... It's a poochy." Ten replied, "Some how it was in a crate and stirred up after the rest of you left."

"Must of been the ghost call" Timier deduced, mimicing the sound again and causing the poor Poochy to cover his doggy ears and howl.

"Shouldn't we be leaving?" Truffle interrupted, "We -are- sitting in the middle of the Magikoopa fortress! If we go back to Kiero's village, maybe we can find out how to open it..."

They all nodded in agreement and headed up stairs, Poochy chased away several of the mousers on the way up. They continued out the hall and outside, they were about to keep going when they were met with two dark looking characters. On one side was the elder magikoopa, Kamek Koopa. On the other was cheif of magikoopas and sister of the latter, Kammy Koopa. In each hand was held one of the ten wands, apparently the ones the Sparkoopa and Necrokoopa had been in possesion of before.

"The road ends HERE." Kamek began as he looked over the large group, "I trust you had fun playing in our castle? I see you also found one of our prisoners as well, that stupid Poochy."

Toad's hand moved to the wand, but Kammy held her hand up, "You may have more wands, but there is only one of you who can hold one. We are far more skilled than the two you met before... Attacking us would be deadly."

"What is it you want?" Ten asked angrily.

"The wands." Kamek answered simply.

"Fat chance we'll give them to you!" One of the ghosts shouted, intent on getting his body back.

"We do not expect you to GIVE them to us!" Kammy chuckled, "We have something you may want..."

With a wave of her hand and the muttering of a incantation, Daisy was thrown from the air on to the ground below. Tied from arms to her legs and mouth muffled, she could do or say nothing to the mushrooms. Kamek adjusted his spectacles and glared at Toad, "I am in a forgiving mood... I will give you the princess, let you keep the wand in your hand and even teleport you all home."

"It's a trick!" Truffle exclaimed, "Why would he let you keep a wand?"

"It has bonded of course." Kamek replied as if it were common knowledge, "Once bonded, it will always find a way to return. No matter how hard he would try to rid himself of it."

Getting home, isn't that what they wanted to do? And they would save the princess at the same time. Ever since the flood, that had been all Toad had tried to do, get them home safely. Yet after the transakoopas, obtaining the wands, Kiero's bunch and now even within the precense of the most powerful magikoopas, it seemed so foreign. What had he been expecting, facing Bowser and saving the day in Mario's absence? Now he was forced with the most difficult decision in his life. And on top of that, giving the wands would be giving up ever getting the ghosts back in their bodies. There was not much of a decision, it was already obvious what to do.

A lump formed in his throat as he began to croak out his reply. But as he spoke, his eyes behld something in the distance. In the mountains, from the very spot they decended. A small form appeared, followed by several others following it. They moved at a rapid speed and soon he realized they were flying. As they came closer and closer, he could make out the distinctions of the one in lead. Kiero had come! Somehow or other, they had obtained wings and were coming to rescue them, or so he hoped.

The first ones arrived, grabbed a mushroom person and then flew off back in the direction the came. More and more they came and grabbed them. As Toad was suddenly grabbed, he yelled to the koopa carrying him to get Poochy and Daisy. The ghosts floated on their own after the grouo. Behind however, to his horror, the puzzle box had been left behind. Even if his yells could be heard over the noise, it was to late. As Kammy and Kamek had already seized it for their own. As he was carried away from the impending battle, he could hear the enraged screams and curses coming from Kamek. He could see magic blasts soar through the air and nearly hit several of the koopas. His eyes shut as he sincerely wished for the safety of the others. As he did, the wand Kichra in his hands began to glow. Kamek, Kammy and all the magikoopas gathered with them were suddenly halted. Their magic nullified, their was nothing they could do. They attempted to prepare the Bonzai Bills, but by that time they were far out of range. Being carried away back to the secret Koopa encampment from where they had been before...
