Live Like A Warrior (Book 3 of the Real World Chronicles)

Trailer #1

"Do you have to go?" Sonic asked Willow with hurt puppy dog eyes, as he, Tails and Knuckles were about to bid her farewell through before she went through a ring portal to the airport close to her hometown.

"It'll only be for a couple of days," she promised them as she waved goodbye. "I'll be back. I promise."

A FEW DAYS LATER...

A plumber wearing red and denim overalls was walking out into an open colosseum where ape and monkey-like creatures were all chanting his name.

"MARIO! MARIO! MARIO! MARIO!"

He soon came face to face with one of them, a muscular gorilla, who was wearing a red tie with big bold yellow initials spelling out, "DK", who was his opponent.

"Alright," the plumber mumbled to himself as he got into a battle stance. The gorilla got down lower on his fists, letting a low grumble escape his lips.

"Let's a-go."

Mario charged at the gorilla and jumped in the air to bring a powerful punch down on him. The gorilla simply and effortlessly caught him by the face and smacked him down on the grate to deliver a barrage of fatal blows.

Willow sat up in the stands with Peach, a blonde princess in a pink dress, and a little mushroom man, Toad, shorter than Tails next to the primate people's leader, who couldn't care less watching the action.

Willow and the princess both winced as Mario was getting pummeled.

"Oh. Okay," winced the Toad.

"I'm not sure you know who I am," a massive dragon-like turtle told his magically-suspended prisoner, a plumber who looked much like Mario, except taller, skinnier and wore green as his base. "But I'm about to rule the world."

"Oh, heheh, well... yay,~" the plumber congratulated him fearfully.

"But there's just two problems. There's a human. Has a mustache, just like you," the turtle selectively pulled on a strand of hair from the plumber's mustache, making him shriek. "And another, a fair maiden, a sorceress, a legendary princess, with locks of hair like sea-foam, bejeweled eyes like amethysts, who has returned from the stars to see that my plans are permanently put to rest."

"You think I would know every human being with a mustache wearing an identical OW-fit with the — OW — first letter of his name on it?!" The plumber kept denying as the turtle kept pulling harder and harder at the strand of hair. "Because I don't. And—princess??? I don't know of any princesses."

Grumbling, the turtle ripped part of the plumber's mustache off, causing him to half wail/shriek throughout the walls of the turtle's domain of lava.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"My army!" the turtle proclaimed out to his noisy crowd of minions.

"Koopas!" A bunch of smaller talking turtles all cheered.

"Goombas!" A group of walking mushrooms with no arms bared their non-intimidating fangs.

"Whatever those things are." A pair of red spiny turtle creatures, called Spinies, pattered their feet in excitement before drooping in misrecognition.

"Soon we will destroy the Mushroom Kingdom!" The minions all cheered.
