AN: Here we go guys! The heist of the century is here! Enjoy :)

Chapter 1

The Golden Scepter, an ancient artifact found in the Desert Ruins. Rumors are that the Scepter has the ability to turn anything into gold. On one of Mario's previous adventures, he happened to lay his eyes upon the ancient artifact. Taking the artifact with him, and dodging traps that were triggered because he took the artifact, Mario made his way back to Peach's castle. Immediately after he arrived, Mario took the artifact out of his dark green traveling backpack, and handed it to the Princess. "What is this thing?" Peach asked while inspecting the mysterious object she held in her hands.

"Its a golden scepter I found in the Desert Ruins." Mario replied, "I thought you might know what it was, but I guess not…" Mario said, a sudden glum expression now on his face. He reached for the Scepter and carefully took it out of Peach's hands. "Well, seeing as you don't know what it is, I might as well just put it in the basement." Mario began to walk out of Peach's chamber only to be stopped with abrupt force by two words:"Hold on". Mario turned around to face the Princess once more.

"Make sure to keep it in a safe place, okay? It might be something rare and very powerful." Peach implied, showing an odd amount of concern. Mario nodded and walked out of the chamber, and then proceeded to go down towards the basement to stash the artifact away.

-Wario's Castle-

"Bwahaha! Look at all my treasure! I got loads of it! Do you see that Waluigi?!" Wario boasted with loud pointless laughter. He began to throw gold coins up in the air while sitting in his red throne.

Waluigi sat on a brown treasure chest, slightly irritated and resting his hands upon his pointed chin. "Yeah, yeah, that's great Wario, and guess what I'm doing? Sitting here with empty pockets 'cuz you keep stealing all the loot! How can anyone work with you as a partner?! You're the one that ends up with all the profit!" Waluigi stood up from the treasure chest and stomped over to Wario, who was still sitting quite comfortably in his red cushioned throne lined with golden edges. Now breathing heavily onto Wario's face, Waluigi kept ranting, "When am I going to get some loot!? I'm literally broke and you're wallowing in your neverending fortune!" Waluigi took a few deep breaths and took a few steps back, giving Wario his much needed space.

Wario gave out an exaggerated sigh, "Okay, listen. I heard Mario came back from one of his adventures with some strange object he found in the desert. I bet it has a lot of value. Guess what? Good ol' Wario here is going to give it to you as a reward. Once we steal it of course."

Waluigi's jaw dropped, "You're kidding me right? You are letting me have some loot for once?!" Waluigi's eyes gazed relentlessly at Wario, awaiting an answer. Wario nodded, and then was startled because Waluigi immediately ran up to Wario and started planting kisses on his cheek mumbling "Thank you" Over and over again. Wario put his large hands up and pushed Waluigi off of him, "Yuck! Get off of me!" He yelled, wiping his mouth and cheeks with his sleeve. Waluigi picked himself off of the long red carpet leading to the entrance of Wario's castle. Wario's castle consisted of his foyer, a long wide, and tall hallway filled with his treasures. It almost felt like a museum due to the fact that there's a wide red carpet rolled out in the middle, leading to Wario's luxurious throne.

"So, when do we steal this object from the Princess' castle?" Waluigi asked, running out of patience.

Wario stood up from his throne, "Hold on! We have to come up with a plan first. Follow me into the basement, we'll come up with something there." Wario announced to the skinny yet very tall figure before him. Walking to the left of his throne, Wario proceeded through an arched walkway with stairs descending from it. He stopped a quarter of the way through and walked back up, motioning with his hand for Waluigi to follow him. Waluigi ran over to stairs within the arched walkway, impatiently awaiting what will happen next.
