Mushroom Kingdom's bounty: collected!(For my bro Ritsuko)

[mastervegeta]

"All the Stars?!PRINCESS!!!" Toadette yelled.

Rodrigo smiled. "10.000 coins if you will." he said,waiting for the money.

[NeroKun]

Peach came to them. "What's wrong Toadette?!"

"Ah...that's right. Come, come! We'll go to our vault!" Wendy said, putting the stars in a magic chest she summoned for this occasion.

[mastervegeta]

"Luna says a little boy somehow stole all our Power Stars!" Toadette said.

Rodrigo smiled."Lead the way." he said,following Wendy to the vault.

[NeroKun]

Peach gasped. "What? Without those stars we're defenseless! We need those back! Have you seen Mario?"

Wendy walks down the hall. "You've managed to accomplish your task. I expected nothing less from a young hunter like yourself."

[mastervegeta]

"No,I didn't....what does that little boy look like,Luna?" Toadette asked.

Rodrigo nodded."When you hire the best in the business,you must expect nothing but sucess.There's a reason my prices are so expensive." he said,but didn't sound arrogant about it. He was just stating a fact anyone who knows about bounty hunters knew,considering his reputation!

[NeroKun]

"Lets see.." Luna said, standing on her toes and plopping down. "Black shirt, brown spiky hair, white shorts and friendly attitude."

"What friendly person steals from a princess...?" Peach said.

"Guess the Ritsukos have competition then. You know everyone will be finding you for these right?" Wendy said

[mastervegeta]

Toadette gasped! "Rodrigo....!It's him,no doubt! Princess,we were in luck Luna was the one who found him and so didn't fight,cause that kid is nothing more and nothing less than the greatest bounty hunter in the whole Mushroom Kingdom....rumor says he could even take Mario's hat from his head in broad daylight if the price is right,that's how good his reputation is!" she said.

"Yeah,I do.I'm used to it." Rodrigo nodded.

Once they got to the vault,Rodrigo smiled."Yes,all here." he said,after getting his payment."Nice to do business with you,princess.By the way,before I leave,I'll give some friendly advice,free of charge." he said.

[NeroKun]

"Is that who he was? I managed to get a hand on one star, but he took it back." Luna said.

Wendy gave a blink. "What's that?"

[mastervegeta]

"To know how to use the Power Stars so naturally...yes,definitly Rodrigo. Whoever hired him has a LOT of money to spare,but also didn't want any mistake.Kid must have infiltrated us and taken the stars one by one in silence,while a real invasion would have brought Mario here in a flash." Toadette said!

"Well,I don't usually give advices for free,even more friendly ones,but you've been one of my favorite clients so far,princess.Giving the payment without delay,taking what you needed me to get you easly,and that info on Peach's Castle to put together with what I found out in my own observations really helped." Rodrigo said,friendly.

Then,he looked somewhat serious as he warned,"I know why you'd want those Power Stars. They give a lot of power....I could figure that when I had to borrow one of them so as to bring all of em' here.I put it back with the others as per our contract,don't worry.

I see why you'd want power,but I prefer my money I got from our job.Why?Here's is where my friendly advice come into play: A whole LOT of enemies come with that power you want so much.A lot of RICH enemies that can do what they want....or HIRE whoever they want...to take you off your throne."

With a gentle smile,showing he really did consider her a friend,which is why he warned her of this beforehand....and let his warning sink in.... he winked at Wendy and said,"See you around." before turning to leave,making it clear he might see her again one day!

[NeroKun]

Peach gave a sigh. "You seem to know alot about this boy. Well, whatever the case is, we need to get those stars back. But who could he have given them to? Wario? Bowser? Waluigi? Toadette we need professional help." She said.

Wendy gave him a wink back. "Don't worry. We have a full army on deck we'll be ready!"
