Description

Hey, Look at this!
Since a lot of you guys seem to have enjoyed my Paper Mario: The Book of Ages idea (or perhaps only the drawing, but who cares), I decided to do little pictures on each chapter during the paper adventure.
Picking up where I left off here [link] , let's continue with Chapter 4.
Upon arriving at Goomsdale High School [link] , Mario and co. find the next instrument on display, the Corona Cornet. Thinking that was it, Mario reaches out for it, but is then stopped by an aging goomba. It's Principal Goomour, yelling that the insrument is not to be touched. After taking a longer look at Mario, Goomour figures he must be here to apply for the position as the new janitor for the last few remaining days of school. As they're all lead to his office, they pass by a student that looks a lot like Alph the Spaceman, one of The Great Tick-Tocker's henchmen.

Once in the office, Mario's partners try to explain there story to the principal, who doesn't believe them, but does find that Mario is well qualified for the job and hires him and pushed out the door before they could object. But out in the hallway, they again spot out Alph in the crowd. So, Mario takes it upon himself to uncover what is happening here. After Asking the students they learn that Alph to them is named Bet, a foreign exchange student from Rogueport. Though everyones stories come out slightly different, they all seem to collaborate with each other. These stories however do not convince Mario and friends. When Alph, or "Bet" is confronted about his stylish mustache, he simply relpies, "I'm very mature for my age."

Then Mario runs into Soshi, and she is different then the other students. Out of the entire student body, Soshi is the only one who knows who Mario actually is. Infact she absolutely adores him and mentions she . Soshi, unlike the others, believes Mario and decides to help him out.

For much of the rest of the chapter, Mario tries to find some undeniable proof that Alph is up to no good. So, you pretty much have the full reign of the school, as you have the janitors keys. So you basically follow Alph around and ask other students around the halls. You'll occasionally battle some bullies, fuzzies, and ruff puffs in the halls (the fuzzies and ruff puffs kinda represent dust and dirt that Mario has to clean) As the drama unfolds in becomes clear that the captain of the cheerleading squad, Koopri has a crush on Bet, and the resident nerd, Shyryar is incredibley jealous for he believes she was meant for him. So, Mario countlessly runs into him, where eventually he gives Mario a journal that he swiped from Bet (Just a reminder that Bet and Alph are one in the same) that has a lot of notes. Inside describes that at the next Assembly, Alph is going to do something in the vents in the basement. So deep into the basement Mario goes, battling more fuzzies and and now piranha plants. As Mario and co. reach the bottom they confront Alph ready to dump a stink bomb. A short altercation later they start the battle, but before the fight can finish, out from behind the pipes emerges the largest silver fish in the world, that tramples over Alph. So this is the real boss fight. After defeating the beast, Principal Gooomour comes in. After a brief explanation and de-mustache-ing Alph, Goomour finaly beleives Mario who then gives the fourth instrument of the Night Sky, the Corona Cornet during an assembly.

Thus triggering the "END OF CHAPTER" sequence. Then you get to control Donkey Kong (Like you would with Peach in previous two Paper Mario games) who is in Countdown Town. With his story ending up telling you that the next Night Sky Instrument is on Kaimán Koast South West of town. Now back to Mario, who is waving goodbye to the students. Soshi, not missing the opportunity gets permission from her parents to continue traveling with Mario. So now Mario has six party members who now have four instruments out of 7.

Yep, that sums up my idea. And I'm amazed that you read the whole thing! Unless you cheated and skipped most of it, you cheeky little.... Anyways, if you are wondering, some of my ideas before might have changed (Like how I got rid of that chef bob-omb for the Bomb Boo in the previous chapter). And if you are wondering, since this is like Majora's Mask, you can go back in time anytime you want, and you can "redo" chapters as some side quest will need those story arcs to be complete. And since I'm really tired, my story probably came out much worse then intendid, and will probably be corrected soon.
