Super Paper Mario with Lianna the Bunny!

Chapter 12: World 6 and The End of a World

Under the looming shadow of the Void, the world slowly drifted toward demise. But not all hope was lost: two Pure Hearts had her to be found. Could our daring heroes find them? Or was the world doomed to be devoured? Mario, Peach, Bowser and Luigi ventured through the next door to find out...

Chapter 6-1: Sammer Guy Showdown

Mario and friends exited into a very colorful Japanese inspired landscape. "Look at that... The void... It's enormous here... Much bigger than it is in Flipside... This dimension must be very close to destruction... We'd better hurry... We have a Pure Heart to find." Tippi said. They headed on forward and saw a random guy running off in fear, then they spot the culprit, a warrior in green. "Ahhhh... So you run, coward. You disgrace your family's honor. Another unworthy opponent... When will this 'hero' of legend appear? Time is running out, and he still refuses to show his face!" He said. Mario and his friends looked at the warrior confused, they didn't want to fight.

"You stop now! You wear the clothes of a crazy. You must be, if you mean to challenge me!" He shouted. They battled and they easily defeated the “Jade Blooper”. "No more, I beg you! Your power is great, challenger." He stands up and bows. "Your skills are impressive. So the hero of legend has finally revealed himself... You may go to the next gate." He said. "What next gate? What is going on here?" Tippi asked. “OH! SPLENDID!” A voice called out. The king of the land has arrived to the area. “What a rousing spectacle of martial arts!” He called in awe. "Sorry, but... who are you?" Tippi asked him.

“Oh I happen to be the ruler of this fair kingdom. I am King Sammer!” He introduced himself. “Your unusual fighting style brings me amusement to no end! As reward for your victory, I shall allow you a glimpse of the treasure... Behold!” King Sammer called out, holding out the Purple Pure Heart. "That's... a Pure Heart!" Tippi said. "Indeed, it is the pride of the kingdom! If you desire it, prove your worth by defeating my loyal vassals in a tournament!" He called out.

"Your vassels, King Sammer?" Tippi asked. "In our kingdom, there is a legend that has been passed down through generations. "When a great hole appears in the sky, the world will soon be devoured." The tempest in the sky grows larger by the day. It must be stopped!" The Green Warrior cried out. "But the legend goes on. And so I shall continue a very dramatic reading... Ahem. "Only one thing can stop The Void: the great hero
must be given the Pure Heart." King Sammer quoted. "Vassals, to me!" He called out, and 100 warriors rushed through. "HACHAW!" "HAIL SAMMER!" "100 STRONG!" They all cheered, waiting to fight. These are my vassals. Should you beat them all, you will prove you are the true hero. Yes, I shall reward you with a Pure Heart if you beat my other 99 Sammer Guys!" He called out.

"Begone, Sammer guys, and move to your tournament positions!" The warriors rush off. "I'm sure I'll be on the edge of my throne throughout this thrilling tournament! I will await your arrival at the palace. The tournament has begun... Let skill decide!" Sammer called out, leaving to head back to his palace. "So, the king will give us a Pure Heart if we best the other 99 Sammer Guys... You'd better get started. You have a lot of fighting to do..." Tippi said. Mario and his friends battled against countless foes, which got really repetitive until the 20th gate. The Sammer Guys there suddenly stop trying to battle the heroes.. is something up?

The world suddenly shook. "The void is growing larger... We have to hurry!" Tippi shouted. "Hurry? Why not pause and savor the show?" A voice asked out loud. Suddenly, Count Bleck shows up again! "It is already far too late to stop...Count Bleck!" He shouted out loud. "Count Bleck?!" Tippi asked in fear. "BLEH HEH HEH HEH! BLECK! The prophecy unfolds smoothly, thanks to the Chaos Heart. The light of each world will be snuffed out one by one..." He said. "Why would you want to do something so... unspeakable?" Tippi asked. "You QUESTION Count Bleck?! This worthless world's destruction matters not! Far better for Count Bleck to wipe it out of existence than let it remain!" He shouted out loud. "How can you say that? That's... horrible!" Tippi shouted. "Count Bleck scoffs at you! An insignificant Pixl lectures Count Bleck on what is right and wrong?" He asks. "This is not up for discussion! You're wrong... and sick! All living things have a heart. They're all priceless. You can't just... erase them!" Tippi explained. "Of all things, you defend the heart? Nothing could be more worthless..." He groaned. "Worthless? How?" Tippi asked. He put his hat over his face. "All things...are meaningless. Aside from Timpani, no treasure mattered in the least to me..." He said sadly.
