Allow me to put this Author's note here...I kind of felt that I needed to do something for Luigi, since it's the Year of Luigi. I've also been into Diddy Kong, lately. Plus, I think Luigi needs a sidekick in the Story. Anyway, this is my first Mario fanfiction, so please enjoy.

Once upon a time, in the Mushroom World, there lived these strange people known as Solunarians. They were quite wise, and they were said to be able to grant knowledge to anyone. However, not all Solunarians were benevolent, a Greedy Princess wanted the world for herself. In order to do that, she prevented time from moving and made her minions conquer many places. Only five heroes stood up to her, they used their courage and might to stop her. They got time to move, again, everyone was free from her rule, and they sealed her away, forever. Before her sealing, she promised to return, to get her revenge.

One by one, the Solunarians began to disappear, almost becoming extinct. As for the five heroes, they all promised to pass their strength down to those who will take their place. If the Solunarian Princess were to revive, then so would the legendary heroes. To this day, the Princess lies within the ruins of what was once her castle.

"I have Fury!"

A strange masked figure had appeared in an old shrine, underground. He walked up to the shrine, smiling, "You be wanting vengeance, yes?"

Onto an old, dusty throne, there was a dark orb, glowing in dark shades of blue, green, and purple. A set of eyes glared at the figure, muttering something.

"Free me from my prison, and we shall rule the world, together."

The figure took off his mask, the beanish had an unsettling smile on his face. "What must Fawful do to free from prison?"

"Find someone to take my place, me and my minions shall assist you. You must look these people, in the Koopa kingdom, the Island of Kongo Bongo, and the Mushroom Kingdom."

"And then Fawful rules this world? You not trick Fawful, yes?"

"Yes, I promise to keep my word. I will assist you in this adventure, and get rid of those that anger you most."

Finally, the Beannish smiled wider. After the incident with Bowser, he needed to get revenge on the plumbers, he will finally be able to rule with an iron fist.

Bowser Castle, it was midnight, and strangely silent.

Bowser Jr. woke up from his bed, he had thought he heard footsteps outside. Without hesitation, he opened his door, nobody was there. He shrugged, maybe it was Iggy, sleep walking. He decided to go back into his room, going back to sleep.

The next morning, Bowser Jr. heard a knock on his door. "Hey, Junior!"

Junior got out of his bed, opening his door, it was Roy and Wendy, "Yeah? What's the matter? Is Ludwig hogging the bathroom, again?"

"This is serious!" Wendy whined, "Daddy's gone missing!"

Junior frowned, "How'd he go missing?" The two Koopalings shrugged. "I dunno, some bean just came in and-"

"Wait, you KNOW what happened?" Wendy growled, slapping Roy in the back of his head. "You and I are gonna have a little talk, later."

"Anyway, Junior," Roy said, "You might want to go find that Beannish guy."

"All right, I'm on it," Junior said as he rushed outside the castle.

Night time on Donkey Kong Island, the wind blew softly as the trees swayed. The only Kong who wasn't inside his house was Donkey, he was guarding the banana hoard. After dealing with the Tiki Tak Tribe, he couldn't be too careful. He sighed, eating one of his bananas, it was almost midnight and he'd be going back inside.

Inside the house was Donkey's little nephew, Diddy. He was sitting in a tire swing, playing with his 3DS (which of course, you-know-who has to rant about it everytime he sees it). He continued to play his game, he was in the middle of a boss battle.

"What do you think you're doing!?" Donkey's voice yelled, Diddy lost his concentration and lost to the boss. He threw his 3DS in fustration. The little monkey peaked outside, someone was fighting Donkey Kong. He lept out of his tire swing and ran outside.

"Don't worry, DK, I'll-" something hit his head, everything suddenly went black.

"How long do you think he's been like this?"

"How should I know? Usually, he'd be stuffed into a barrel, by now."

"Look, he's waking up!"

Diddy sat up, rubbing his head. "What was that, about?" He opened his eyes, two other kongs were in front of him. One of them was an old ape with a beard, who carried a cane. The other Kong was a small gorilla, the same age as Diddy, who wore pink and had her long blonde hair tied into a ponytail.

"Well, I'll tell you one thing," the old ape said, "DK's been kidnapped, I'm suprised nobody's kidnapped Dixie, yet!" Dixie scowled at the old ape, "If it weren't for me and Kiddy, DK and Diddy would still be batteries for that robot thingy." She looked at Diddy, "Anyway, while you were knocked out, I found this." She handed a letter to Diddy, it read.

I have your uncle, if you want him back, come and fight us. Otherwise, you'll never see him, again.

Signed, the Mario bros.

"Why would Mario kidnap DK?" Diddy asked, "I mean, I thought they were-"

"Mario?" The ape yelled, "As in MARIO MARIO!?" He began to shake with rage.

"What's wrong, Cranky?" Dixie asked. Diddy rolled his eyes, plugging his ears, "You shouldn't have asked that..."

"Back when I was trapped in Brooklyn, I found this beautiful dame, who, apparently, belonged to that lousy carpenter. This was before I met Wrinkly, mind you. Then the guy had the nerve to put me in a cage. I ended up having to wait for Junior to save me. Now I've been waiting for 50 years for my revenge on Mario!"

"All right, that's enough!" Dixie yelled, Cranky noticed Diddy wasn't listening and whacked him with a cane, "Anyway, are you going to save DK?"

Diddy rubbed his head, groaning a bit from pain, "But-"

"But, nothing, Mario's no friend, I'll tell ya that, so go and fight him and his brother so you can Get DK, back."

Diddy nodded, he ran on all fours. Dixie looked up at Cranky, "How did you know Mario did this?"

"I don't," Cranky said, "I just don't like him."

"Now, that's great," Dixie said, rolling her green eyes.

It was a normal day in Toad Town, Mario and Luigi were at the park, Luigi had his Polterpup on his lap.

"You know, I didn't think you'd be keeping that thing," Mario said. Luigi shrugged, "he's actually very nice when he isn't stealing anything important."

"So you know, I hear Toadette's birthday is coming in a few weeks."

"I've heard about that, as well. Did you find her a good present?"

"Not yet, though I hear she needs a new drum, so I might get her that."

Princess Peach was walking up to the plumbers, her advisor, Toadsworth, was by her side. "Hello, how are you two, doing?"

Polterpup jolted from his spot and tackled Peach, licking her. Toadsworth looked in shock. "Oh my, are you all right!?"

"I'm fine," Peach said, giggling, she held the ghost dog and handed him to Luigi. "I made a cake, just for you two," Peach said, "Would you like to come over?"

"Who could say no to cake," Luigi said, Mario only nodded, as though he were dazed. Peach looked a little emberassed, "I'll take that as a yes..."

"You, there!" A masked man, said, "You seem very full of happiness. Like happiness jelly on the toast of joy."

The Mario brothers looked confused, "Have we seen you, before?" Luigi asked. The masked man handed Mario and Luigi a present. "This brings you more joy, yes? This make happy for a long time."

The brothers looked at each other, then they opened the suspicious present. It was an orb, that glowed from a yellow color to a brown color.

"What is this supposed to be?" Mario asked. The man pointed to Peach, "It your gift, too, you look at it, yes?" Peach looked a little stunned, she seemed a little concerned, "Is Bowser involved, in any way?"

"No Bowser, just gift."

"I wouldn't touch it, Princess!" Toadsworth advised, getting back handed by the masked man, "Go ahead, you look at it."

Peach did as she was told, She began to panic as a bright light blinded everyone.

"Mama mia!" Mario yelled, after the light was gone, Peach was gone, but a different Princess was in front of them. She was a thin Princess with long red hair, yellow skin, and a red dress with orange trimmings.

"Finally, I am free!" She yelled, "Now everyone shall fear me!"

"What was that all about!?" Mario yelled, "Tell me where Peach is!"

"Princess!" Toadsworth fainted from shock, knowing Peach was nowhere to be found. The strange Princess walked in front of Mario and Luigi. "Tell me, have you ever heard of Princess Twiloom?"

Luigi panicked, "WellMarioIllleavethistoyou-" Mario grabbed his brother's arm, "I've never heard of you, now tell me where the Princess is?"

"I didn't hurt her, I will guarentee that!"

"I have chortles!" The masked man yelled, revealing himself to be Fawful, "Princess Peach is being in that orb with two other idiots."

Luigi picked up the orb, tapping onto it. "Hello?"

"Green-stache?" It was Bowser's voice, "Is that you, out there?"

"Luigi," it was Donkey's voice, "Don't let them get the others!"

Mario raised an eyebrow, "I thought we got rid of you after that incident with the Dark Star," Mario said. "You blew up back when we were in Bowser's body. Fawful couldn't help but laugh. "So the Mario Brothers thought Fawful was finished, but Fawful came back, and now Fawful has teamed up with Twiloom."

"Right, " Twiloom said, smiling, "He freed me, now I must return the favor for him. I hope you two are prepared to see a new world unfold." Shortly after, the Princess used her telepathic power to send Mario and Luigi flying into the sky, sending them miles away from Toad Town. After this, Twiloom walked off, happy to have gotten rid of the Mario Brothers. "Now that those heroes are gone, I shall rule this world for myself."

"What if they come back?" Fawful asked. Twiloom smiled, bitterly, "If they return, they will rot in my dungeon."
