Hearts on the Odyssey

Ch 6

It was finally morning in the Wooded Kingdom. Mario had woken up, yawning up a storm.

"Sleep well?" Cappy asked.

"Yes, thanks to you." Mario answered.

Cappy stated, "Glad I could help!"

Mario gave the Bonneton a smile. Cappy wanted to ask about what Mario was having a nightmare about. But he decided to let it go so they could press forward.

Mario asked, "Ready?"

Cappy seemed to have nodded. The two left the Odyssey and went into the Wooded Kingdom. It wasn't long before Mario and Cappy collected more Power Moons. They were in sync, Mario seemed to have noticed. They found the Broodals ship again and to their dismay, they were late again. They wound up fighting the blue one and won. They took the Multi Power Moon from him. When they got into the greenhouse, they were attacked by a UFO.

Cappy was taken back, "A UFO?! Are aliens real?!"

Mario wasn't too surprised, "As long as they aren't the Shroobs, we're good."

Cappy didn't get a chance to ask as the UFO started to attack them. Mario thought on his feet. He used his Firebrand in the tricky spots. Cappy helped as much as he could. After defeating the UFO, it had dropped a Multi Power Moon.

Cappy started to ask, "Shroobs...?"

Mario interrupted, "It's a long story... right now I don't think we have the time. We got to make up ground."

Cappy had to agree. They walked back to the Odyssey, put the Power Moons in, and off they flew.

Cappy stated, "To think that their precious Soiree Bouquet is stolen... We can't keep letting Bowser doing what he wants!"

Mario replied, "On that we agree."

Cappy started to say, "Well, we are headed to the Metro Kingdom..."

That's when the Odyssey shook.

Mario got to the window and looked at it, "Cappy, we found the ship!"

Cappy looked out the window too, "Oh yes!"

The Odyssey started to fly next to Bowser's ship. Bowser walked over to the side of the ship, seeing the Odyssey. He also saw Mario and Cappy on it. Bowser decided to take care of them in the Cloud Kingdom. Mario felt like he was ready to save Peach and Tiara. It was a long fight but Mario and Cappy managed to defeat the Koopa King. Bowser flew backwards, hitting the ship and falling down onto it. It didn't take Bowser long to recover.

Bowser told the minions, "Get them!"

That's when ammunition fired from Bowser's ship fired towards Mario and Cappy. The two of them fled but the ammunition hit where the Odyssey was. Mario, Cappy, and the Odyssey all fell through the clouds.

Peach cried out, "MARIO!"

Tiara cried out too, "CAPPY!"

When Mario finally came to, he saw that they had landed in the Lost Kingdom.

"Cappy...?" Mario asked, a bit weak.

Cappy appeared to him, "I'm here... I'm okay..."

Mario breathed a sigh of relief but then turned to the Odyssey.

He admitted, "But the Odyssey isn't..."

Cappy took a look and saw the Odyssey was badly damaged. The Bonneton flew over to it and looked over the damage.

Cappy reported, "Nothing too serious. But we need to get more Power Moons to get it up and running again."

Mario told Cappy, "Then let's get to looking!"
