BGM: Bowser's Castle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
A hand popped out of a river of lava and then a head came out, then it proceeded to swim in the lava until it found something to get out of the lava and then pulled itself out.
It turned out to be a turtle… but this was no ordinary turtle.
Oh no, this turtle was none other than King Bowser Koopa… and he didn't look very happy either.
"Those blasted plumbers!" Bowser growled, punching a wall in frustration. "No matter what I do, they always manages to defeat me and rescue the princess!" He exclaimed, walking through his castle in anger. "There has to be SOMETHING that I can do."
"How about kidnapping Mario and Luigi instead?" A voice asked as he turned to see Kamek approaching him.
"Yeah right…" Bowser muttered. "If I do that while kidnapping those loud mouthed mushrooms, I have a sneaking suspicion Peach will come over and whack me in the head with a talking umbrella."
Kamek raised an eyebrow. "That seems… oddly specific. Did you dream that up, Your Nastiness?"
"Hey, it could happen." Bowser said as they wandered around the castle, looking at the Medical team healing the wounded. "I just don't understand how I'll be able to successfully get Peach to myself without getting my tail thrown in the lava."
"Perhaps we can kidnap Peach, and then set up a trap to destroy the Mario Bros."
"A trap to destroy them… that could work… IF THEY CAN STOP CHEATING DEATH FOR ONCE!"
Kamek sighed. "Hmm… then what can we do?"
"Your guess is as good as mine." Bowser muttered.
"Your Ugliness!" A voice called up and then they saw a Hammer Bro running up to them. "You're not going to believe this…"
"What, the Mushroom Kingdom is surrendering?"
"Well, no."
"Peach is giving up herself to me?"
"No."
"There's some angry blue guy with terrible aim?"
"Not that either."
"Then what is it?"
"You might want to take a look at this." He said as he took off as Bowser and Kamek followed them up to a walkway just outside of the castle. "Shy Guy! Would you mind?"
"Certainly." Shy Guy backed up as Hammer Bro took a look in the binoculars.
"Yep… it's still there." He said, and then giving it to Bowser.
"…What am I supposed to look at? It's just a Wiggler."
"No no no, not the Wiggler. Look up a little."
Bower turned his gaze from the Wiggler and noticed a strange creature bothering a few Hammer Bros and Boomerang Bros. "What in the name of the Bowser Kingdom is that? Did the Mushroom Kingdom send that to add salt to the wound?"
"I honestly doubt it. It doesn't look like it came from the Mushroom Kingdom."
"So… Sarasaland?"
"Nope."
"Then what is it, a mutated Yoshi?"
"Doesn't look like one."
"THEN WHAT IS IT?!"
"It's called a Grimm." A female voice said as they turned to the source and saw a woman who was currently in shadow. "That particular Grimm is called a Beowolf."
"Two questions… no… three. One: What's a Grimm? Two: How did you get here? And Three: Who are you?"
"A Grimm is basically a creature, best described as 'Creatures of Destruction' and lack a soul. They're drawn to feelings of negativity such as envy, sadness, loneliness… and hatred."
"Given as how King Bowser hates Mario so much, I can see why it was attracted here." Hammer Bro said.
"Maybe…" Bowser rubbed his chin in thought.
The woman smirked. "There are more creatures of Grimm besides the Beowolf."
"Okay, and my second question."
"It was simple, we let ourselves in." She said, joined by two other figures that was covered in the shadows as well.
"You just… waltzed in?" Hammer Bro asked.
"Yes."
"Without triggering the alarms?"
"It was destroyed when we walked in."
"Blasted plumber…" Bowser growled. "So… my third question."
"Our names are of no importance… for now."
"Hmph… okay, adding another question: WHERE did you come from?"
"We come from a land known as Remnant. It seems as if your hatred was so strong it attracted the attention of the Grimm. This got us curious so we followed them until we came across this amazing castle. I assume you're the owner."
"Damn right! I'm Bowser Koopa, the King of Awesomeness!"
"I see…" The woman slightly grinned. "You know, I think I have a solution to your problem."
"And what is it?"
"We use them." The woman chuckled darkly as Bowser turned to the Beowolf who looked up at Bowser.
"And how are we going to use a single Grimm creature?"
The woman smirked. "Oh, I have my ways."

Meanwhile, at Peach's castle…
BGM: Peach's Castle (Super Mario 64/DS)
"Oh, Mario! Luigi! I'm so happy that you saved me!" Peach exclaimed happily.
"Ah, it was no trouble at all!" Mario smiled.
"Bowser's always been a pushover, so it was easy." Luigi said.
"Right." Mario nodded.
Peach giggled and then thought of something. "Would you boys like some cake?" She asked, and all she got were smiles, which meant 'yes'. "Alright, I'll go make a cake for all of us to enjoy!"
"Wahoo!" Mario and Luigi exclaimed as Peach walked into the kitchen while the two plumbers were talking while high fiving each other as Toadsworth and Toad came over and started chatting with them as well.
About an hour later…
Peach came out with the cake, humming to herself. "Okay, the cake is ready~!" She said in a sing songy voice as they proceeded to come over to her as she put it down on the table, then she pulled out a knife.
However, just when the knife barely touched the cake, there was an explosion that startled all of them… and then another explosion.

BGM: Bowser Jr's Airship Armada (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Stay there, we'll go check it out!" Mario ordered.
"Okay." Peach nodded as the Mario Bros took off with their hammers out while Toad and Toadsworth found a place to hide.
The Mario Bros ran out the door and saw Bowser's airships in the air and then Bowser was on top of one. "Long time no see, plumbers!"
"Bowser! Back so soon?" Mario asked.
"This time, I have the upper hand." Bowser smirked.
"Oh yeah? Prove it." Luigi ordered.
"Gladly." Bowser chuckled as he folded his arms and did nothing… but then suddenly they heard windows shattering and Peach screaming in terror.
"Peach!" Mario exclaimed as he and Luigi quickly ran back in while Bowser chuckled darkly.
As soon as they ran in, they saw a few Beowolves in the room and one of them is holding Peach in its arms. "Mama mia! What are those?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"It doesn't matter… we'll defeat them!"
"I wouldn't be so sure of that." A voice said as they looked over to see the same woman that Bowser spoke to leaning on a wall. "Are you really sure that you'll defeat them without risking your dear princess's life?" She asked, nodding at a Beowolf as it raised its claws, aiming directly at Peach's chest. "If you take one small move, your princess dies." She threatened.
Their eyes widened. "No…!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Oh yes." The woman smirked. "So, what will it be? Your surrender… or her life?" She asked.
Mario hesitated, wanting to save Peach once again, but he didn't know what these things were or how fast they would be to kill Peach.
"Mario, what do we do?!" Luigi asked.
Mario clenched his fists… he didn't like what he was doing and then he dropped the hammer, much to Luigi's surprise.
"Just don't hurt her." He said.
"Oh don't worry; we'll take very good care of her." She smirked, snapping her fingers as the Beowolf lowered its arm.
"M-Mario…?!"
"Mario…" Peach had tears running down her cheeks.
"I'll get you out of this situation… somehow, I will!"
"Oh, but you won't do that." The woman smirked. "For you two will be joining the princess." She said as Mario and Luigi's eyes widened… and then their necks were karate chopped by Bowser as he then picked them up.
"MARIO! LUIGI!"
"Well, that was incredibly easy." Bowser chuckled. "Why didn't I think of this sooner?"
The woman chuckled. "It's a good thing we came."
"Yes. Koopa Troop, let's move!" Bowser ordered as they guided the princess and the unconscious bros into the airships while a Beowolf looked at the cake and sniffed it, licking it before giving a disgusted look and raised its fist… and then smashed the cake along with a Mario and Luigi figure on top of it, splattering frosting everywhere as it went back… completely covered in pink, but it didn't seem to mind.
"So, what next?" Hammer Bro asked.
"We celebrate… and then we take over the Mushroom Kingdom." Bowser smirked and then they all flew off back to Bowser's Kingdom together.

Meanwhile, at Beacon…
"Ugh… bored…!" Ruby groaned as she was on top of her bed with the rest of her team. "Someone entertain me!" She requested while also petting Zwei in the process.
"Well, there's not much we can do." Yang said. "It's not like we're going to get called to a mission or anything…"
"I wish we did… then Ruby can stop complaining about being bored!" Weiss complained.
"Hmm…" Blake rubbed her chin in thought and then there was a knock on the door as Yang went over to open it, and then saw Professor Ozpin on the other side.
"Professor Ozpin?" Yang asked.
"You four. Come with me." He requested as the four looked at each other and followed him to his office.
"So, what's the situation?" Ruby asked.
"You all handle Grimm exceptionally well… except, that there's been an unusual amount of Grimm outside of our land."
"So… you want us to investigate it? Why did the Grimm go there?" Blake asked.
"It's because of the massive amounts of negativity in one part of the land and it has spread throughout the kingdom."
"It's a kingdom?" Weiss asked.
"Indeed. It is called the Mushroom Kingdom." Ozpin said, motioning them to get close and then once they did, he pushed a button.
"It what seems to be the most catastrophic moment in history, a faraway land known as the Mushroom Kingdom has been under attack by the Grimm. What caused this catastrophe is currently under investigation."
"…Oh great, it's a kingdom full of mushrooms… gross." Weiss muttered.
"Whatever seemed to cause it, the Grimm have been spotted all over the place and the population seems to be growing."
"I see…" Yang rubbed her chin in thought. "You want us to go over there and save the residents."
"Yes… and seeing as how much it's growing, you probably won't be back for a very long time."
"Oh no matter, we can take down the Grimm easily!" Ruby said.
Ozpin chuckled. "Indeed. Now, you know your mission. Go out and save the Mushroom Kingdom." He ordered as they saluted and took off.
A few minutes later…
"Ruby! Come on, let's go!" Yang exclaimed as Ruby went in the plane.
"Sorry, I had to say goodbye to Zwei and have Jaune look after him. Oooh, I'll miss him so much!" Ruby said.
"Relax, it's Jaune. How bad can he screw up over looking one dog? Besides, he's got Pyrrha, Nora and Ren." Blake said.
"Right." Ruby nodded and then, they headed off for the Mushroom Kingdom.
