《SMG4: Super Mario X Meggy Sunshine》Chapter 10: A Few Secrets
Advertisement
Mario, Meggy, and F.L.U.D.D. were searching high and low for more Shine Sprites. They're getting closer to their goal in Corona Mountain.
Mario: Looks like Isle Delfino is looking brighter than when we first came here.
Meggy: Yep. We're closer to Corona Mountain and beating those two villains that were disguising as evil versions of us.
Mario: What happened yesterday was weird.
Meggy: Yeah. That crazy soldier guy came out of nowhere and took our hats again. That really was weird.
Meggy then noticed a pipe on a small island close to them.
Meggy: Hey Mario. I see a pipe over there on that island.
Mario: I wonder where that leads to.
They went to another area of Delfino Plaza and went down the manhole. They then ran through the pipes and went out to the island closest to the one they're looking for. They then had to wait until a boat comes. It then came a minute later, as Mario and Meggy jumped on it. The boat then travelled to the island with the pipe on it, as they jumped off the boat and went into the pipe.
They came out the other side and saw a long track filled with poisonous water and a lily pad on top of it.
Mario: Ooh. Very scary.
Meggy: Looks like we have to ride this lily pad through the track so we don't touch the poisonous water.
They jumped on the lily pad, as they're now figuring out how to move it.
Mario: I think I have to move this lily pad the same way as the boat in Noki Bay. F.L.U.D.D., you know what to do.
F.L.U.D.D. started spraying water to move the lily pad, as they now have to be very careful in steering the lily pad towards the 8 Red Coins they have to collect in order to get the Shine.
They, however, miss one Red Coin, but they can't move the lily pad back.

Mario: I'll try to get that Red Coin with the help of F.L.U.D.D.'s Hover Nozzle. Wish me luck, Meggy.
Meggy: Be careful, Mario.
Mario started to carefully walk on the side of the track, as he made his way to the Red Coin and used the Hover Nozzle so he'll not fall in the poison water. He grabbed the 8th Red Coin, as a Shine appeared beside Meggy.
Meggy: Great job, Mario! Now come back over here so we can get this Shine!
Mario: Okie dokie!
Mario got back to the side of the track and carefully ran back to Meggy and got the Shine.
Meggy: That was fun and interesting.
Mario: I love finding secrets.
They saw a pipe beside them, as they jumped in and went back to Delfino Plaza.
Mario: Let's see what other secrets there are in Isle Delfino.
Meggy: Sure. We gotta look extremely hard for secrets.
They started looking for secrets, as they came across a box for a new nozzle for F.L.U.D.D. It was the Rocket Nozzle, as they picked it up.
F.L.U.D.D.: Looks like you got the Rocket Nozzle. Try it out.
Mario started to charge up the Rocket Nozzle and began to run extremely fast.
Meggy: Woah! You're going so fast!
Mario: What is happening?!
Meggy then ran in front of Mario so he can stop, but he started to carry Meggy instead. Now both of them couldn't stop going too fast, as they ran through some double doors and teleported to a new area; the Turbo Track.
Meggy: How did we end up here?
Mario: I... went inside a building, and now we're here?
Meggy: Yeah, I'm confused too.
Mario: This place kinda looks like a practice area for our new Rocket Nozzle. I'll carry you, Meggy. Me and F.L.U.D.D. are gonna do the work. I bet a Shine would be waiting for us in the end. Power up the Rocket Nozzle, F.L.U.D.D.!

Mario then carried Meggy and started to run fast with the help of the Rocket Nozzle. There are a few parts where Mario had to jump from platform to platform, but they still managed to make their way through the entire track and get the Shine in the end.
Meggy: Awesome job, Mario! You are a great jumper.
Mario: Thanks, Meggy. You were great too, F.L.U.D.D. Your new nozzle is amazing.
F.L.U.D.D.: Thank you.
They returned via another pipe, as they started to look for one more secret. They went on the slow-moving boat just to see the sights of Delfino Plaza.
Meggy: Man, this Island sure is beautiful.
Mario: It sure is, Meggy. I'm glad I'm spending my time with you here.
Meggy: Me too. I hope we get the honeymoon we deserve in the end.
They sat on the boat for another minute until they noticed a hole under a building they go under.
Mario: Meggy! There's a hole! Let's go inside it!
Meggy: Okay.
They both jumped in the hole and teleported to a secret level that everyone regrets going to.
It was a giant pachinko machine, and Mario, Meggy, and F.L.U.D.D. arrived there.
Mario: Now I'm confused about how all of this fits inside just one hole.
Meggy: Maybe we teleported here.
They then looked up at the pachinko machine.
Meggy: That thing sure looks huge.
Mario: I see Red Coins inside. We gotta collect those.
Meggy: But we gotta be extremely careful. I see a hole at the bottom of this. We gotta make sure not to fall down that.
Mario: Okie dokie. Now how are we supposed to get inside and up to the top?
They walked in a hole on the side that leads to inside the pachinko machine, as they stepped on the ground inside and started to get launched high.
Mario: MAMA MIAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Meggy: What is going on?!
F.L.U.D.D. saved Mario from the launching speed with the Hover Nozzle, as Meggy fell and caught the side of one of the holes in the middle of the machine, clinging to dear life.
Meggy: Mario!
Mario: I'm a-coming, Meggy!
Mario went to Meggy's location, grabbed a hold of her hand, and pulled her in the hole with him, as they started to slide back down to the outside of the bottom of the machine. Once they arrived back down, Mario and Meggy hugged each other.
Meggy: Thanks, Mario.
Mario: No problem, Meggy. Hmm... How are we supposed to get those Red Coins?
Meggy: Here's my strategy. We go back inside, go towards the Red Coin we're looking for without falling through the bottom, and go back out. We do this 4 times maximum because both of us are gonna be looking for a different Red Coin, and that Shine awaiting us here is ours.
Mario: Good idea, Meggy. Let's a-go!
They tried Meggy's strategy out. It was a little hard, but it was made easier with the help of F.L.U.D.D. They collected all 8 Red Coins without falling or dying, as a Shine Sprite appeared in the hole in the middle of the machine. They went back inside the machine, made their way towards the Shine, and collected it together.
Meggy: I'm getting very dizzy after getting launched many times.
Mario: Me too. I guess we need a little rest.
They returned to Delfino Plaza via another pipe, as they returned to Sirena Beach's hotel. They went inside their room and began to rest in their bed again. What they went through today was pretty interesting for both of them, but at least they're more closer to getting to Corona Mountain.

But now that I'm here, I'm starting to discover that this new world is really nothing like what I had been expecting.

I can hear something huge, and strong, moving slowly through the woods. Before, I was hoping to get the chance to start my life up all over again. But now, I'm just hoping to make it safely through the night.

Moonlight
Three powers were discovered and harnessed so that they could be controlled. These powers are required to keep the planet alive, and need human bearers to focus and amplify their individual powers, but at what cost to their bearers? Power over the elements, controlling the flow of time, and dictating life and death are the powers that three young adults wield in Moonlight, but their lives will be changed forever. Moonlight follows the stories of Claire, Jayden, and Seraphine, as they learn to control these powers that desire to consume them. Author Notes: Hello! This isn't my first attempt at writing a story, and it isn't even my first attempt at writing this particular story, but I'm not in any way what I would call "experienced". I decided to upload my writing here because I just wanted to get my ideas out there, and I wanted to get some constructive criticism for my writing from the RRL community. All comments are welcome, but please try to keep them positive and constructive! If you leave a rating, I would appreciate it if you left a short explanation of what you liked and what I can improve on. I'll be uploading each chapter as I finish them, but this is still the first draft so anything and everything is subject to change. The cover art is drawn by me, but I'm in no way married to it. I just wanted something that showed the three magical sources, as I picture them in my head. If you do any art based on this story, send it to me! I would love to see it. I'll stop talking now, I hope you enjoy the story!
