Legend Of The Seven Stars C6

                                  Chapter 6 – Korin Tower Trouble

Outside was another challenge for the star warriors: 3 shyguys chasing a bird? Weird! In case you don't know, shy guys look like ghosts wearing red cloaks.
" Enough with the bird chasing! " said Shyguy 1, " we have to get back to Korin Tower or the boss is gonna kill us! "
" Oh! Darn it! " said Shyguy 2, " I was just starting to have fun ".
" Me too! " said Shyguy 3.
" Who were those guys? " said Ozma.
" I don't know " said Goku, " let's follow them ",
The shyguys led the star warriors out of Frederia and into Korin Pass, a grassy meadow leading to Korin Tower. It has lots of hills and valleys in it, which makes hiking through it difficult. People often suggest getting to Korin Tower through Korin Hill, but that is not any better because the hill is filled with rolling barrels that will knock you down and make you fall down the hill.
" I think the shyguys are heading off to Korin Tower " said Tails.
" What is that? " said Ozma.
" It's a famous landmark in this area. I don't know why those 3 shyguys would want to live in it ".
" Which way do we go? " said Goku.
" We have to hike through the land which you see before you. It's called Korin Pass and it will lead you right to Korin Tower. "
Hiking through Korin Pass was not too easy for the star warriors. The hills were pretty high. The creatures living in the area attacked them. It took them awhile to reach Korin Tower. When they finally got there, they were totally exhausted.
" I'm pooped! " said Ozma.
" Me too! " said Goku, " but we made it here in one piece ".
" Look! " said Tails, " there's a beautiful young girl standing in front of the tower ".
Goku went up to the girl and asked her who she was.
" Hi! " he said, " what are you doing out here all by yourself "
" There is a girl trapped inside the tower " she said, " I'm trying to find a way in so I can rescue her ".
" What's your name? "
" Princess Peach Toadstool. You can simply call me Peach. Anyway, who are you? "
" My name is Goku and these are my friends, Ozma and Tails ",
" Nice to meet you all. Are you trying to get into this tower too? "
" Yes. We are ".
" Can you help us? " said Tails
" Sure. I love helping people. I'll try and find a way inside and then sneak you guys in " said Peach.
" There is more to it than that " said Goku, " we are looking for the seven stars. They grant wishes you know ".
" You're looking for them too? "
" Yes we are. Hey, wait a minute! How do you know about the seven stars? "
" Who doesn't? Everyone on this planet knows about the seven stars. They are famous for their immense wishing power, but they are too difficult to look for alone. You have better luck finding the stars when you work as a team. Hey, I've got an idea! Can I join your party. We could search for the seven stars together''
" That was a pretty convincing story. We could use all the help we can get. Welcome to the star warriors, Princess Peach ".
" Enough with all this chitchat! " said Ozma, " let's save the girl in the tower ".
" Yeah! " said Tails, " maybe she knows more about the seven stars ".
Princess Peach held the tower door open and they all went in. This beautiful princess has now joined up with the star warriors. Now they have to save the girl who is being held hostage in the tower. But who would do such a horrible thing? It couldn't be the caretaker of the tower, could it? The star warriors are sure to find out.
" My goodness! " said Goku, " this tower is beautiful! "
" There is a little story about this tower in the main lobby " said Peach, " I think we should read it first before we go any further ".
" How do you know about this tower? " said Ozma.
" I was held hostage here at one time. I never thought I would see this place again ".
" The story of this tower says that a crazed maniac named Booster lived here before " said Tails, " back then it was called Booster Tower. When Booster married Queen Valentina, he had no more need for the tower, so he moved away. A few years later, Korin came to live here. Korin is our planet's guardian. He looks like a cat. He is famous for his sensu beans, which replenish lost energy ".
" That's an interesting story " said Ozma, " but Korin does not sound like the kind of guy who would kidnap someone ".
" You're right! " said Peach, " someone else must have done that ".
" Well what are we waiting for? " said Goku, " let's go up the tower and save the damsel in distress! '
Princess Peach led the star warriors up the stairs. On the top of the stairs, there was a set of train tracks.
" Is that a train I hear? " said Goku.
" Oh! That! " said Peach, when Booster was still living here, he put in a train set. I guess Korin never had the heart to take it down ".
When the train came around to where tha star warriors were standing, someone was riding in it.
" That does not look like Korin " said Goku.
" I know! " said Peach, " that's Jindrax ".
" Who's that? "
" Jindrax was a duke org, until the wild force power rangers defeated him and his friend, Toxica. Now he lives in Korin Tower.
I don't know what happened to Toxica. The girl that Jindrax kidnapped is the princess of Alekia, Jasmine. He is planning on making her his wife.
" Oh, that's just bad! We've got to stop him! Where is he headed? "
" He'll head for the town of Marrymore. I'm sure of it ".
" Nice speech " said Jindrax, " but it won't do you any good. Jasmine fell from the sky into my tower so now she belongs to me! So get out! Or you can try to force your way in "
" You're going down! " said Peach, " you have no right to treat the princess of Alekia that way! "
The star warriors ignored Jindrax for now as they continued toward the balcony, where Princess Jasmine was being held. Along they way, they came upon a large room. It looked like a ballroom. If you walk along the floor in this room the wrong way, monsters will pop up. Goku and his friends made some monsters appear, but they were easily subdued. In the hallway on the other side of the ballroom, one of the 3 shyguys were getting ready to attack.
" This is as far as you will come! " said Shyguy 1, " I am going to finish you! "
" I don't think so " said Goku, " we're going to defeat you ".
" You're outnumbered " said Ozma, " so give up now while you are still in one piece ".
" Look! This is my tower and I'm not leaving! So get out before you force me to destroy you! "
The star warriors circled around their enemy and they began to fight. It wasn't an easy battle, but they made Shyguy 1 run away in fear. Next, the star warriors had to fight Shyguy 2 and Shyguy3. Each one was harder than the next. One of them used exploding gunshots.
" These guys are tough enemies " said Tails.
" No kidding! " said Ozma, " OOF! OUCH! "
" That's it! " screamed Goku, " enough of this! I'm going to defeat you shyguys with my most powerful attack! "
" DUCK IN COVER!!!! " the shyguys screamed as Goku shot an energy wave at them. They ran away in fright.
" Now that we got that out of the way, it's time to go save the princess " said Goku.
On top of the last staircase was a room with a door to the balcony. Goku knocked on the door and Jasmine answered back.
" Who's there? " said Jasmine.
" I'm Goku " said Goku, " me and my friends have come to save you ".
" It's about time. I don't like it up here ".
" Keep it down! " said Ozma, " someone is coming! "
" Hide! " said Tails.
Goku hid behind the curtains, Ozma hid in the closet, Tails hid behind a lamp, and Peach hid behind the desk. Jindrax and his shyguys were coming up to do a wedding rehearsal. Just then, Jindrax smelled something. Was he trying to sniff out Goku and his friends?
" Shyguy 1! " said Jindrax, " go and see what's behind those curtains "
" Okay " said Shyguy 1 as he stepped up to the curtains. Goku did his best to hide from him. When it was clear that he could not be found, Shyguy 2 went to look too. They still couldn't find him. So Shyguy 3 joined the search. When the shyguys couldn't find Goku, Jindrax opened up the last curtain.
" Aha! " he screamed, " I thought I smelled an intruder. Well I have no time to deal with you right now. I have a wedding to go to ".
Jindrax said some magic words and the door to the balcony opened. He grabbed Jasmine and headed towards Marrymore.
" Let me go! " screamed Jasmine, "I don't want to marry you"
" Hush up, Girly! " said Jindrax, " you have no choice in the matter. We have a big wedding cake waiting for us at the church ".
Meanwhile, back at the tower:
" Phew! " sighed Goku, " that was close. Ozma, Tails, Peach! You can come out now. The coast is clear ".
" Say the words and open the door " said Peach.
" Yeah! " said Tails, " I'm anxious to meet this girl! "
" Okay! Okay! " said Goku as he cited the magic words to open the door: Karu Mari Odonna Loma Molonu Karano.
As the star warriors were about to jump off the balcony, someone stepped up behind them.
" You must be Korin " said Goku.
" Yes I am " Korin replied, " thank you for saving me and my home ".
" We still have to save Princess Jasmine from Jindrax ".
" Oh! Yes! He headed off towards Marrymore. Korin hill will lead you right to it. You will have to make a jump from the balcony, though ".
" That's okay. Thanks for the help ".
" You better hurry up if you're going to catch up with Jindrax. Hurry! He's getting away! "
As Korin said those words, Goku and his friends jumped off the tower and headed towards Marrymore. Hurry, Goku! Stop that wedding and save Princess Jasmine!
