Andy was standing on the back of the cart when he spoke up, "Yeah, I kinda don't want to get stomped today."
Saint LaughterAndy jumped off of the cart and crouched while peering at the castle. "You're thinking we wait till they change patrols?"
Saint Laughter"When they start to change shifts, we'll have 30 seconds of nothing. That's when those getting on duty will prepare and those off duty will start to get ready. We'll be able to cause enough chaos to disrupt the order. Then...in theory, we'll be able to overcome their numbers." Oswald said, "If all else fails, we make this a hit and run."
"Yeah and plus we aren't dead yet, so we must be doing something right. That or we're the luckiest idiots alive. I like my odds either way."
Saint Laughter"Ready whenever you are old man. Personally, I'm ready to get in there and escape with as much treasure as I can carry."

The Mushroom Kingdom. A name that nobody has heard in a long, long time. It wasn't a kingdom, it was a wasteland. The grass that was once lush and green was now burned and left nothing but dirt and rock. The power-ups that use to be common and extravagant were all gone, nothing left but shattered blocks across the ground.
The sun was down, the moon high in the air as the full moon's light shined down on the decayed castle in the distance. The once proud Toadstool Castle was nothing but a war fortress now, the flag of the Koopa Empire flowing proudly as Koopa Troops marched. There were Koopa sitting on the roof, armed with Bullet Bill canons, and the castle had even more canons.
"Guess that's a good spot for a Tyrant Troop..." mumbled Oswals, the man clutching his shirt as he stared at the castle up from his perch on the cliff side, out of sigh of the enemies that would swarm and kill him.
