Arthur ran down through the doors at full speed, busting the wooden doors wide open. Before him was a horrible dragon and beyond him was another door and beyond that is most likely the princess.

He readied his lance and entered a battle ready stance. His armor shined from the lava that bubble below the bridge. Sweat ran down his face as he stared the beast down.

Ha charged at full speed and the dragon did as well. Neither seemed to back down and it looked as if it was going to end in a show a strength, one the dragon was sure to win. Suddenly the knight jumped and landed on the dragon's head. He kicked off into another jump and the beast stumbled off the bridge and into the lava.

The knight didn't stop, though he rushed towards the door and kicked it in. A brown sack sat in the corner. Arthur rushed over and untied.

A small mushroom headed creature then popped out and stated, "Thank you, but the princess is in another castle."

"What the hell?" the knight said confused.

Author's note: just a short oneshot and a tribute to mario and mostly Ghost N' Goblins (The first game I was ever addicted to).
