"SUPERMARIO! Do something!" Phoenix Hawk screeched up in the sky.

He was reminded of the time when he tried to escape Ro's lightning when he flew back to Arkham with the cactus in his beak. He prayed that he would be as lucky as he had been then.

But alas, there is nothing SuperMario can do until he eats the flower that rises from a stone. The hunt for rocks soon started among our heroes.

At this moment in time, Patrick appeared with Hornie nuzzling his hand docilely. He was holding on to Hornie's reins in one hand, and something which look suspiciously like a stone in the other hand.

"A rock!" piLLow screamed in joy.

Bee Bee knocked the rock off Patrick's hand and went after the pancake still stuck in Hornie's horn. Hornie ran off in fright again and Patrick had to chase after the unicorn once again.

The rock flew.....and landed at LiQuid!'s feet.

SuperMario leapt forward and hit the rock with his head. He fainted.

"Oh bother!" Sid sighed.

Now what?

"The cactus!" piLLow screamed, his voice hoarse by now.

Sunshinee grabbed the cactus and dropped it on SuperMario's tummy.

SuperMario jumped up in pain and bewilderment. He caught sight of the rock next to him and smashed it with his fist.

At last!

A flower rose out from the rock.

SuperMario grabbed the flower and chewed it quickly. He could feel himself getting stronger.

Suddenly he looked at his pouch and found countless little stones inside. He picked up one, raised his fist at LiQuid! and threw the stone at him.

It turned into a fireball.

SuperMario now live up to his name.

There is an old saying that goes "Fight fire with fire". But common sense tells us that fire only merges with fire. To fight fire you need water. And likewise, to fight water, you need fire.

SuperMario managed to drive LiQuid! back to his cave with his fireballs.

They knew that the war isn't over yet. In fact, it has just begun.
