Super Mario RPG 2: The Legend of Heaven Island Introduction #1

It's been a long while since Mario has been on a Vacation. For the past few years, it's been nothing but "Bowser has kidnapped Princess Peach!" and, "Thank you Mario, but the Princess is in another Castle"
But not today! Today, Princess Peach, Toadsworth, and the Mario Brothers have had it with these usual cases of Koopa Kapers, and have decided to take a Vacation from the Mushroom Kingdom.

Toadsworth has payed for a Month Long Cruise around the world on one of the Mushroom Knigdom's most famous crusies liners, the S.S. Toadstool! A Cruise much more pleassureable then the last cruise he and the entire Mario Gang went on many years back.

So the next day, Toadsworth & Peach had payed a visit to the Mario Household and told them the great news.

"YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!? REALLY PRINCESS?"

Luigi was quite surprised to hear the news from the Princess herself.

"Yes Luigi. You and Mario are invited to join us on our month long cruise around the world."

"This is cool! I gotta tell Mario right away! MARIO..."

But just as Luigi called for him, Mario was already downstairs, packed up and ready for the trip. Peach & Toadsworth had laughed and he said...

"Well now Master Luigi, looks like Master Mario beat you to it. You know what they say, early bird catches the worm. Speaking of which,
you should get ready yourself Master Luigi. The cruise will set sail in an Hour."

"AN HOUR!! WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!! I better get packing!!"

Luigi had instantly dashed for his room and started packing.

"We'll be seeing you both at the Mushroom Harbor in half an Hour. Don't be late, okay Master Mario?"

Just as Toadsworth left, Peach had told Mario,

"Good thing Toadsworth didn't know about that secret message I gave you. I'll see you soon Mario."

Peach had given Mario a nice kiss on the cheek, and caught up with Toadsworth. Mario had sighed and blushed a little as he saw Peach exiting through the Mushroom Kingdom Pipeline. Just as she left,
Luigi had come down, all ready to go.

"Well Mario, are we ready to go?"

Boy, that was fast. But nether the less, the Mario Brothers were ready to meet up with Peach & Toadsworth. About a half-hour passes, and the Mario Bros had set there eyes on the most beautiful Cruise Ship they had ever seen.

"Mario!! Luigi!!"

They saw Princess Peach waiting for them on the Cruise Ship. They had boarded the S.S. Toadstool, and met up with Peach.

"This Cruise Ship is fantastic Princess! How did you afford such an expensive Cruise Liner?"

"Well Luigi, you know me. The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom.
My late parents would always take me on this cruise liner back when I was still a young child. It's really amazing."

Suddenly, Toadsworth came by along with one of the Mushroom Kingdom Toads.

"Well now, Masters Mario & Luigi. You made it. I'd like to introduce you to Captain T. He's our Ship's Navigator and Pilot."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Mario."

After introductions were made, the Ship was ready to sail.

"Welcome to the S.S. Toadstool. This is Captain T. speaking, reporting that the S.S. Toadstool is ready to set sail. So I'd like to tell you to have a fun Vacation on our Cruise Line."

And with that announcement, the Ship had sailed off to the great blue sea. The Mario Brothers, Peach, & Toadsworth were having a fun time on the Cruise Ship. Peach was swimming in the Ship's Pool, Luigi and Toadsworth were playing a game of Mini-Golf. And as for Mario,
he was relaxing on a bendy chair, while wearing sunglasses.

A few hours later after the ship had set sail, Captain T. was in the Navigation Room, minding his own business and steering the ship.
However, he noticed something on radar. It had strange readings on it, and it was headed straight for them. Captain T. had taken a look outside and noticed that dark clouds were covering the sunny blue skies.

"Oh...my...mushroom..."

Suddenly, there was a strange Red Tornado heading for them.

"HOLY STARSHARD!!!!"

Captain T. had screamed in fear and turn on the speaker.

"ATTENTION PASSENGERS!! WE ARE IN SERIOUS DANGER!! THERE IS A STRANGE RED TORNADO HEADED THIS WAY!! EVERYONE GRAB A LIFE-JACKET AND EVACUATE THE SHIP IMMEDIATELY!!!!"

Everyone had gotten a life jacket and headed for the Evacuation Boats. However, Peach had suddenly realized,

"OH NO!! We forgot our luggage!!"

"What!? OH NO!! All of my spare clothes are in there!!"

Without hesitation, Mario immediately headed for the guest rooms to get their luggage. He looked left and right and found the suitcases.
He quickly grabbed them and dashed for the Evacuation Boat. Sadly,
the Tornado was too close to Mario, and it started to suck him in. He kept running with all his might, but the suction power was to strong!
He knew he wasn't going to make it, so he threw the cases over to the evacuation boat. Mario had then got sucked into the red Tornado.

"MARIO!!"

The gang was terrified to see Mario being spun around that violent Tornado. Eventually, Mario was at the top, and the Tornado had launched Mario far away! And with that, the Tornado disappeared.

"MARIO!!!!"

Peach had cried as Mario had disappeared from the area. Peach had held on to Luigi while he was comforting her. Toadsworth had his head down and murmured,

"Master Mario...why did this have to happen to you?"

The next day, Mario was lying onto a remaining piece of the S.S.
Toadstool that was drifting through the sea. He was out cold after all that disaster yesterday. Eventually, he was drifted to a mysterious Island. He was laying on the comfy sand, still without conscience. Then, a woman was walking along the beach, and notices the washed up man. She went over to him, and looked at him.

She picked Mario up, and took him with her. But where? Where was she taking him?
