Description HELLO! People of ALL KINDS!!! IT'S FINALLY HERE PEOPLE! After like 3 months or something, Chapter 1 of Paper Mario: The Temple of Permanence is finally here! For those of you who don't know, this is a Paper Mario fangame where each chapter is written by a completely different person (on Fantendo). This chapter is by FrostWind13 or as most people may know him (or just recognise his avatar): THIS GUY!!! And holy crap, I think this is the best piece of art I've ever done! It looks official almost! Anyway, let's get on with this:


Setting off from Fractale Plains after being told by Clare to find a “Wise Man” in Fungi Fjords, Mario and Bill T. Enter the Fjords and start to go down the trail through the fjords, battling basic enemies like Goombas and Koopas along the way. Eventually, they reach a small town called Fungi Village, where they notice that while the town does have Street Lights, only one of them in the centre of town seems to be working. Mario asks about this, and one of the villagers says that lately there have been some troubles with the power the valley's windmills have been emitting.

Mario also proceeds to ask about a Wise man and the villager tells him to ask their mayor about this “Wise man”. They go to see the Mayor who is an elderly Electro Koopa on 2 legs named Tessla. Mario asks about the Power in the Valley and he explains something must be wrong with The Place that manages all the Generators and Windmills in the Valley, E.L.E.C. TECH. They also ask about The Wise Man and Tessla tells them that if they really want to know about the wise man that they'd have to go to E.L.E.C. TECH and try to find him there.

So, the group proceed to go through the fjords again, this time travelling down the trails of the large valley until they make their way across to the other side of the river, and eventually arrive at E.L.E.C. TECH. Here they find it being run by some peaceful Electro Koopas. They ask them about the Power Situation and they tell them that The Windmills are having some interference, almost as if something were blocking their way. Mario also asks about the wise man, but before they could respond, suddenly the power starts to go haywire, and the facility shuts off, along with angry Electro Koopas being let loose in the Fjords and the Windmills in the East Start going haywire to the point of Generating Hurricane strength winds blocking off the other part of the fjords. Everyone then decides to get out of the Haywire Building and flee Back to The Village, via a shortcut. Here, Mario, Bill T. , and Tessla, are speaking in his House.

They explain the situation and he believes it sounds, like the work of an Electrocyte. A Rare Electrical Parasite that can feed on and control Electricity. He says it must have gotten into the Storm Generator Castle, where all the power is connected and distributed, and caused all of this. “One like this hasn't been seen in Decades!”, he also adds that he really does know the whereabouts of the “Wise Man”, but He'll only tell him if he can rid them of the Electrocyte.

Mario Agrees and asks how they can get to the castle. Tessla tells them that the only way is currently blocked by the heavy winds caused by the Surge. And that he'll have to find a way to shut them off. So Mario goes North-East of the village to find the Windmills east of there, battling Electro Koopas along the way. He gets there and finds them being guarded by Silver Koopas with Propellers on their Shells Called Turbine Troopas.

He battles them, and tries to hit the switch to turn the windmills off. However, it’s out of Reach, so they go to head back, when an Electro Koopa with a Wind Pattern on his shell and a Silver colour shows up. The Koopa introduces himself as Koophyr and claims that he is the “Protector of Fungi Fjords” and the inhabitants of it. He explains he admires Mario's willingness to help them.

He also says he knows of Mario's quest to find the Wise man, who he actually mentions by name “Thorgh T.”. However, first he says that the Electrocyte must be stopped and to do so, they must join forces, So...Koophyr Joins the Party! Mario then uses Koophyr to hit the switch with his ability to stop the windmills, so they can now enter the Storm Generator Castle. With that, you head back to the village to redirect yourself over to the castle.

But when they get back to the village, they see the one light in the one working lamppost in town has started to leave the Post and flow towards the Castle; so they end up north following it to the castle, even making a short trek over a small lake along the way. Once finally in the Storm Generator Castle, they see it is a dungeon full of Wind and Electricity Puzzles and enemies such as Turbine Koopas and Dry Sparks. After a small bit of travelling they find the light from the lamppost being held captive by a large sort of Jellyfish Machine with it inside, thus infusing a short miniboss.

After beating it, it explodes and reveals the light to be a Lil' Sparky with a rose red tint to it and a Flower on her head. She says her name is Byte and that she was the light in the Post. She explains that Lil' Sparkies play an important role by providing light, and that lamp posts are their homes. But when the Electrocyte moved in, it kidnapped all of the Lil' Sparkies for their power. She was spared because her post was on a different Circuit, and was unreachable, but she came to the castle to save all of her people, but got captured.

She decides that she needs Mario’s help and also “feels a warm presence from him”. So, Byte Joins the Party! So now, Mario has to rescue the other lil’ Sparkies, putting Byte’s ability to good use to light uo dark rooms and power up devices and such. After rescuing them all, they can then head up to battle the Electrocyte itself. In the last room, they find the room is going Haywire as well! But then, the Electrocyte itself appears and takes hold on top of a main machine (which is what’s taking in all the energy for the parasite to use), in the centre of the room, and with that, Mario and Co. get ready to fight the boss of Chapter 1: The Electrocyte!

After the battle, the Machine explodes and the Electrocyte deteriorates into nothing. With that sorted out, the group take a pipe shortcut and arrive back at the Village where everyone is Praising Mario and Co. for their effort; Tessla thanks them personally and now tells them how to reach the Thorgh T.”: he lives in a cave near the village, just slightly to the east.

Mario and Co. head to the cave and meet the Thorgh T., who is an old Toad with Cloud Patterns on his head and a cloud-like Beard. He tellls them how impressive it is that they made it to him, and how he was actually the one who sent Koophyr to help them. He then finally tells them “The secret to opening the portal from the temple rests in the near Kingdom of Libaobao; But likely only an item of much power and royalty”. He also tells Koophyr to stay with Mario, and Byte Decides to stay too so she can help others and go on an adventure outside of the fjords. Finally, Thorgh T. also says that he is sure to meet them again at some point in the future. With all this now settled Mario, Bill T. and his 2 new Party Members head back to Fractale Fields to find out more about this “Libaobao”.


Ah, there we go! What did you think of PaperBumptyKing's chapter? What do you think of my illustration of the background, characters, boss, ect? And to PaperBumpty himself for when he reads this: How well does this match up with how you imagined it? I did have to make a few slight changes to the wording of things, and slightly got the positioning of the windmills blocking the way to the castle mixed up But overall, this has got me in a pretty good mood

Nice setting and nice story! I like the background, the peaceful plain with trees and plains ^^
The wind turbines are a nice addition, and I don't know why but it reminds me a little of Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, the part after Floaroma Town.
Anyway, nice story as well I like the partners! Especially the Electric Koopa from Sunshine, it's pretty original!
Can't wait for the next chapter

Haha thanks!  Although, you may be complimenting the wrong person for the story and characters  Since each chapter of this game is written by a completely different person, this one being written by PaperBumptyKing13 I'm just doing the art and main plot stuff But thanks a lot!

Whoa! I'll be honest and say most of this isn't the way I imagined it, But I love it all anyway, some of it more than what I had originally thought of! I really love your interpretation of the Electrocyte, and I love the vibrant way the Fjords look and While I imagined Koophyr on two legs originally, then again I completely forgot to mention to you that I thought that, and I like the design anyway, and I think you did byte pretty well too! And I just love the bridges everywhere! All in all, a fantastic interpretation of what I had thought!

Alright! So I did good? Thanks! I apologise for some of the minor changes, since I did have to improvise in some areas To be honest, It's not entirely how I originally interpreted it either; The Electrocyte isn't at all how I imagined it (btw, was it supposed to be ontop of a machine or something? I wasn't sure how to draw that ) but I added things like, a lake to make sure the river actually goes somewhere, etc.. But I am overall glad that you are happy with the result! Thanks for participating

O jour de gloire ! It is finaly here !  
I dont find word to describe this part. It is just marvellous, both plot and pictures.
I love the plot, particularly for it location.
I also very like Byte's lamp past, and the electrical parasite that this Electrocyte is.

This background is gorgeous, brightly larger than life.  
It is no word to describe it deepness.
Particularly what I assume is Storm Generator castle (just behind the lake in top-right corner).
I wonder if you will draw a map when the full thingy will be totaly finish ?

This projet is starting to take a shape.
I dawn on that it will just be very diffrent from the habitual Paper Mario layout.

This idea of together Paper Mario is brilliant.
I am looking forward to read next part.

Hehe, thanks a bunch! But don't credit me for the plot, credit PaperBumptyKing: He has some very nice chapters on his own channel

Indeed, when drawing this I learnt a lot about the actually paper art style, using shading and certain black outline thicknesses to finally create what actually looks like the Paper Artstyle
Yes that is the Storm Generator Castle as for maps, well, I probably will make maps for the overall game, but I think I should ask the Chapter's owners personally about any puzzles or layout details that would be important first If I'm honest, I'd rather want to make the Fungi Fjords map! It's freakin' huge!

anyway, thanks for your feedback as always
