Of Magic and Malevolence: A Prequel to Of Glitz and Fury
------------------------
Long ago, there existed a legendary kingdom of peace and prosperity. This was home to some of the purest souls in the known Universe: Knights of courage and honor, maidens of beauty and strength, magicians and scientists of unrivaled mental caliber, and a good King who ran this world with fair judgment and selfless acts. This place was rich of both money and happiness, for there was not a single soul that was gnawed at by hunger, tormented by thirst, or lacking in love from others.
Except one.
A single, shadowy fellow had been sired in

Fawful
Dying, Fawful realized, was actually a fairly pleasant experience..
As soon as Grubba swallowed him, his body (or what was left of it) instantly dissolved. Shedding the Dark Bug body felt like washing mud off of his soul, and his inner being was instantly freed from the physical constraints of his body. All the pain, the fear, the adrenaline instantly evaporated, and the Beanish boy felt a strange calmness.
His soul stretched out in the blankness, wanting to drink in its new freedom, when suddenly, a huge weight descended on his chest. The mysterious force pushed on all sides, forcing his soul to take a generally humanoid shape.

Mimi
On the ouside, Glitzville was a happier place than ever.
Everyone was proud of their role in stopping what would have been nothing short of the apocalypse. Jolene, in celebration of this momentous occasion, cancelled all the fights for a free party, everybody in the city invited. The fighters had been enlisted to help set up the decorations, food, and other bits of the celebration where they would receive a medal of bravery, delivered from Toad Town, and to be presented by Princess Peach herself. The city was abuzz with excitement. Even Bowser decided to stay for the food.

Mario stopped, clutching his hammer, and wiped the sweat from his mustache. It was too much Grubba was too fast too strong and the old plumber was simply too old. He had exhausted nearly every item in his arsenal, every trick up his sleeve, and almost all his energy. He popped his last mushroom, a Slow Shroom that would slowly heal him for a limited time.
There was no way they could win heck, he couldn't even think as to how they would help by letting themselves get murdered like this. He needed to get him and Luigi out of there, and fast.
However, his brother in green had other ideas. He faced the monster, who stood a m

-------------------
The gargantuan beast stared down at the army, its red eyes overflowing with a dark mixture of hunger and hatred. That scrutinizing glare easily penetrated the tough exterior of the fighters, pounding instinctive terror into their skulls.
"WHAT? Can he DO that?" Someone shouted. "That should be illegal!"
"Hold on, I got this!" A spunky voice, peppered with determination, piped. Goombella stepped out from the crowd, and looked up at the great best that dominated the city. Quick as a wink, she pulled out a green book from her pack, and without the use of appendages, flipped through it, sca

Mario
The Glitz Pit was exceptionally dark. Mario could barely see past his own nose as he stepped into the great arena, walking past the empty bleachers. Fawful lit up some sort of flashlight on his Headgear, but it didn't help against the near-solid blackness. In fact, the only thing that seemed to truly glow in the pitch-black was the star on the belt wrapped around the device.
Yet he did not need his vision to sense the evil that was afoot..
Suddenly, the gigantic screen activated, the static screen casting an electrical light over the platform in the center of the massive chamber. An

The wind rushed past Fawful's head, almost deafening the roar of the rockets that carried him through the cool night sky.
Black spots began dancing around the edge of his eyes. It was becoming harder to think straight. Fawful wasn't quite used to the rapid change of air pressure, and he started hyperventilating involuntarily as his lungs tried to make up for the loss of oxygen.
"Ergh I have such nausea. It makes the dizzy dance in Fawful's skull." He said to himself, starting to feel like absolute crud. It was starting to become harder and harder to focus. And to make matters

The laughter.
It was everywhere. In all places. But she couldn't see it... the Darkness clouded her vision.
The shadows groped and prodded at her. They whispered their hideous desires in their undecipherable, ancient tongue.
"Ah ha ha haaa...ah ha ha haaaaaa...AH HA HA HA!"
Suddenly, at the peak of her fear, Mimi's eyes flew open. She was sweating profusely, and had a huge headache. The nightmares had been far more intense and prolonged than the previous ones. She wondered what could possibly have caused them...
Then, she remembered... the Gli

Outside of the main building, in the center of the town square, two cheep-cheeps, who had the night off from their normal blimp-running duties, where standing around, a can of Chuckola Cola in a fin, having a civilized debate.
Stewardess, a purple female fish, pretty by cheep-cheep standards, was calmly and rationally explaining her views to Pilot, the chubby male who wore several aerial service badges, all of them made of cardboard and colored in crayon.

Juice Bar, 8:49 PM
"In the City of the Sky, dark events will take place. The Fiend will reign with the power of Shadow, and all the world shall be plunged into Chaos."
"First, when the Child of Beans consumes the Item of Darkness, the Pawns will be in place, and the Fiend shall begin his Ascent to Power."
"And when the Tables Turn, the true Fiend shall rise, and Insanity will know Fear."
"Finally, the Fiend shall be empowered beyond all Known Laws of Strength, and all will be Lost from Light."
Princess Peach finished reading these words from the evil book that was lying open on the table. Mario,
