"Mario, it's time"
Mario looked up and found the envelope flying toward him. The annual Universe tournament, where he would meet characters far beyond Mushroom Kingdom, would be underway. In the past, there was always someone they never seen before come around. Who would show up this year? Certain people were given invitations to join the tournament. Inside each invitation, it disclosed the location of the tournament and where it was hosted at, along with a train ticket that crossed into space. When a fighter arrived at Universal Station, they will not be able to see the fighters as a way to spice up the tournament because all fighters have different departure times. It was always hosted at Coliseum of Heroes. The Coliseum was at the center of the Universe. FoU is one of the most celebrated tournaments full of surprises and mysteries. The tournament organized all of the fighters' abilities so they equalized everyone so no person could be more powerful than the other. Therefore, if one arrived at the Coliseum, their abilities were fixed to be equal. Many characters differed in unique personality but they all had one dream and that was to become the Fighter of the Universe. Fighter of the Universe gained control of the entire universe and became the host of the next tournament. They were also exempted from fighting.
Last year, Fighter of the Universe had no winner because of The Subspace Emissary. Mario and the fighters hoped they would never have to save the universe again…
Mario read the invitation.
Dear Fighter,
You are invited to the annual Fighters of the Universe tournament to win gold in becoming the master of the universe! Train yourself now! FoU is the day after tomorrow. It is advised that you shouldn't invite anyone other than the person that received this invitation. Doing so will result in a penalty and you will be immediately disqualified. Below is your train ticket and departure time to Coliseum of Heroes. Pack your bags and weapons for the tournament. Good luck my fellow contestant and may you be granted the title of Fighter of the Universe! See you soon!
Sincerely,
The Announcer
Mario was always prepared. All the times he fought Bowser, all the times he saved Peach, he was ready. He stuffed the invite in his pocket and left Mushroom Kingdom.
Mario arrived at Universal Station. He gave his ticket and boarded the single cart. He rode across the universe to Coliseum of Heroes…
All fighters prepare for their departure and say their goodbyes to their friends and family. Each fighter arrives at the requested time at Universal Station. As Universal Station closes to prevent another person from interfering the contest, a boy with dark brown hair appeared. He wore a rolled up sleeved shirt and faded black jeans. His white shoes glimmered in the moonlight. Wearing a dogtag with a guitar on it and holding his weapon Silent Deliberater, he breaks into the station and hides in an items cart that will be transported to the Coliseum. He successfully breaks into the tournament.
