Super Paper Mario with Lianna the Bunny!

Chapter 10: World 5

Still worried about Tippi's condition, Mario and friends opened the fifth door. They still needed to find three Pure Hearts... But the imminent destruction of the world was approaching at an alarming pace. Would Mario have enough time to save the day? And what foul trick would Count Bleck and his goons come up with next? This adventure grew more dangerous... and thrilling with every step!

Chapter 5-1: Downtown of Drag

They arrived at a stone valley. "Where are we? The view is nice from midair, but I can't see the Pure Heart... Wait... midair?" Tippi asked. They noticed this and then all fell to the ground. Mario and Peach laughed.

"Bowser's Arms!" They called at Bowser. "Oh shut up, both of you!" Bowser yelled. "Oh! Cragga wagga woo!" A caveman called out loud. "Cragga wagga doo GOO!" The second caveman explained. The heroes landed between the two cavemen, which a couple others gathered around them.

The first one jumped back. "OH CRAG!" He shouted. "Wh-what in Crag?" The second asked. The heroes got up and looked at them. Tippi floated down. "Are you alright?" She asked them. "Woah, Skarn... Did you see that?" The first caveman asked Skarn. "Yah, Jasperoid... thought I was losing my crag, brah. Person shaped weird, huh? Wait! You think maybe.. person sent down by Big Rock Who Watches?!" Skarn asked.

"This hairface brah? Thought Big Rock would send someone... cooler." Jasperoid replied. The cavemen grabbed each of the heroes and carried them off. "AHHHH!! Ha! Ha! Bowser's Arms!" Mario yelled and laughed out loud.

"Will you quit it?! Are my arms really that important?!" Bowser shouted. Mario laughed out loud as they were brought to the chief. Tippi followed them. "You unhand them right now!" She demanded. They were soon brought to the chief of the village. "You meet Marbald, chief of all Cragnons." Jasperoid said. "H-hi?" Mario asked Marbald.

"You seem like you manage selves well. Cragnons make request of you." Marbald said. "A request? What kind of request?" Peach asked. "Cragnons were once peaceful people. We held long peace. That is until new people show up. Nerd Cragnon call them Floro Sapiens. They raid home... They kidnap Cragnon... They give peace no chance..." Marbald explained.

"The Floral Sapiens?" Peach asked. "Yes. Cragnons must do something, or Cragnons be... EXTINCT BRAH! You smash Floro Sapiens... You rescue kidnapped brahs... You hook Cragnons up..." Marbald said. "Sure thing, Brah!" Mario replied to him. Peach nodded too.

Luigi and Bowser nodded. "Really? You're not cragging my chain? You brahs are the best..." Marbald said happily. "Yah, serious, no cragging! Big Rock Who Watches sent you for Cragnons, for sure!" Skarn replied.

The door opened and a Cragnon barged in. "Tuh-tuh-terrible Brah! King Croacus returns!" He shouted. "Wh-whaaat?!" Marbald cried out. "Village Cragnons kidnapped! Please... Cragnons need hooking up, brah..." He explained. "Servants of Big Rock who watches... You heard that right, kind brahs? P-p-please! You help! You hook up Cragnons! Hook up, PLEEEASE!" Marbald cried out. The random villager ran out.

Mario and the other heroes run out and saw the Floro Sapiens with some villagers. "Stop right there!" Mario shouted. One of them turned to them. "Hey, check out that breed! Never seen that kind before. Must be rare." The Floro Sapien said. "You never seen a human before, well, look at we what can do!" Mario shouted, defeating the Floro Sapiens. Tippi flew to them. "I heard from some of those thugs that their leader has the Pure Heart." Tippi told the heroes.

"Well, if we want the Pure Heart, we'll have to beat up their king..." Mario said, cracking his knuckles. "Yeah, we'll give him a Bowser-brand knuckle sandwich." Bowser said, he pounded his fists together.

They pressed onwards, chasing after them, avoiding Muths and cracking codes until they made it to the next area.

In Pursuit of the abducted Cragnons, Mario and Co. headed for the Gap of Crag. What did the Floro Sapiens want? And where was King Croacus with the Pure Heart? Despite their hustling pace, our heroes never caught eight of the Floro Sapiens. But Mario didn't give up. He knew his fleet feet would catch them eventually...
