Chapter Text
Inside the depths of the Diamond Pyramid, layed a magic crystal called the Vortex Crystal. Said crystal's blue coloring would shine in the very minimal light that would come through. Countless legends had been told about it, and how it had the power to open up gateways to other realms. However, not very many believed in this story, passing it off as nothing more than a fairy tale. Therefore, no one really bothered to journey into the Diamond Pyramid to find this treasure. Wait a minute, who's that in the crystal's chamber?
"Wahahaha!" Wario laughed maniacally as he saw the magic crystal, "Wario's FINALLY found it! Imagine all the money I'll make selling this!"
Wario's eyes turned to dollar signs before he grabbed the Vortex Crystal. Suddenly, the pyramid began to shake violently.
"Uh oh, looks like Wario had better go!" Wario ran out of the pyramid with the crystal in tow.
That night at Wario's house, the crystal started to glow. Wario was too busy watching TV to even notice the glow. All of a sudden, the greedy man heard a voice.
"Wario…."
"WAH!? Who's-a-there?" Wario sprung up from his couch, "You will regret breaking into Wario's house!"
"Wario…..it's me…..the Vortex Crystal!"
"WAH!?" Wario shook his head, "Very funny, but Wario isn't falling for any cheap pranks."
Wario turned around and saw the crystal glowing. He still wasn't phased, and just scoffed.
"I must be imagining things."
"No, it is me!" The crystal's glow went on and off as it talked. "How much more convincing could someone need, for the love of Toadstool!"
Wario shrugged as he HAD seen stranger to be fair, "Alright you oversized piece of jewelry, what do you want?"
"Oh, Wario, I knew you were about to sell me. But, I can make you tons of money in another way. You could be able to make all kinds of profit if you just capitalized on my power to access other universes. You would not only become rich, but also famous for discovering these alternate universes."
Wario squinted his eyes, "What's your-a-catch, rock candy? I'm not-a-stupid, why would you want to help-a-me so badly?"
"Uhhhhhh, you see…..it's….MY DUTY to help whoever finds me! You journeyed into the Diamond Pyramid, and YOU were the one to find me, therefore, you get my help in whatever goal you want to accomplish. It's sort of like a genie, if you catch my drift." The crystal said, definitely not hiding anything at all.
"WAHAHAHA!" Wario laughed, falling completely for this act, "But how do you suppose I make money off of you, without selling you?"
Right on cue, a cartoon started playing on the TV. It was some cartoon that was a parody of the show Survivor. It would probably never catch on in real life or anything, called Total Drama or something? Anyways, as this cartoon played on the tv, a light bulb went off in Wario's head…
