Mario's life changed drastically, after his last encounter with Bowser.

"Do you want me to kill her?! Give me what I am asking for!"

The Princess Peach, filled with fear looked at Mario, "Don't do it! The Kingdom will never survive!"

Bowser was asking for the Mushroom Kingdom.

"If he rules Mario, the Kingdom will go to ruins! Just kill me!" The Princess shouted at Mario.

Mario looked at Bowser, and said, "You heard her. Do it."

Bowser, instead shot a fireball at Mario.

Mario flinched, but felt no pain. Instead, he saw the Princess standing in front of him. Her body was shaking in pain.

"M-mario...p-please...t-take care...of my...kingdom..." The princess collapsed in his arms.

"WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?!" Bowser shouted, looking at his hands in shock, and disgust. Mario looked at him.

"Bowser... THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!"

Bowser looked at Mario in confusion. "W-what?! I thought you loved her!"

"No! I hated that bitch!" Mario said, excitedly. "Oh my god, I'm free!" Mario said, as he joyfully hopped out the door.

Bowser looked at the corpse of Peach, and sobbed.

Mario, however, was so happy, he felt as if he was going to burst. He ran into the castle throne room of Peach's castle, and said,

"PEACH IS DEAD!!! YIPEE!!!"

Toadsworth, the Princess's butler said in shock, and sadness, "WHAT?!"

"Yup! That whore is gone! I watched it with my own eyes. And, I am packing my things, and moving to Isle Delphino! So, see ya bitches!"

Mario ran upstairs to his room, packed his things, and ran out the door.

Weeks later, at Isle Delphino...

"Get back here thief!" A police officer yelled, as they chased after the once hero, Mario.

"Haha! That's funny! I don't think you can catch me!" Mario replied, as he was carrying a bag of various fruits.

"I thought you were a hero!" The officer said.

Mario looked back, and laughed once more. "Haha. No, that's not me anymore." Mario turned a few corners into an alley, losing the cop.

He broke into his abandoned house, that he stored his things in, and lived. He sat down on a ripped up chair, and pulled out a chilli pepper. As he munched on it, he looked around at his tattered house. "This is my life." He said.

After he finished his pepper, he felt his eyes slowly droop. Before he knew it, he was asleep.

When he woke, he decided to leave, and visit his friend, that was also a thief. He was a Orange Pianta that sat on a roof, and offered people to throw them off roofs. His name was Chuck. He was a Chuckster.

He did some wall jumps, and managed to manuver his way up to the Chuckster, sitting quietly, staring off into space.

"Hey Chuck." Mario said, snapping Chuck out of his day dream.

"Wha...? Oh, hey Mario! Want to give me a coin, and I'll throw you off the roof?" Mario chuckled at him.

"No. I want to keep my life. But, I will give you a coin." Mario pulled a coin out of his pocket, and handed it to Chuck. He smiled a big smile, that would make even the most emptiest person smile. "Yes!" He said, excitedly. "Score!"

Mario then said, "So when are you coming to the house? I got some fruit this afternoon."

"Okay. Probably in an hour. I'm gonna see if anyone will bite." Chuck replied.

"Okay! See ya soon bud." Mario said. "I'm goin' to the beach."

"Okay Mario. Be careful of the cops!" Chuck warned.

"Will do!" Mario called, as ran away.

Mario sat down on the beach, and fingered the sand. Suddenly Mario looked up, and saw something, that made him want to jump in the ocean, and drown himself.

Standing above him, was a ghost.

The ghost, of none other than, Princess Peach.

"I hope you have an explanation for why you're here, Mario!"
