Mushroom Kingdom:
All was peaceful in the Mushroom Kingdom. Everything was at peace and most of everyone in the kingdom had gone over to Mario Stadium to watch the soccer game between Mario and Luigi. Both teams were tied at 4-4 and the game had gone into overtime with both teams giving it their all.
"This is by FAR the most heated match of the season!" [A spectator Lakitu roared as he watched the soccer back and forth between the two teams.]
[The spectator Koopa Troopa nodded, doing his best to follow the ball as it was constantly being kicked in between the two teams] "You can sure say that again! Both teams have been giving it their all and it will be an amazement to see who comes out on top!"
[Mario was the one with the ball as the Koopa Troopa spectator finished speaking. He ran the ball to about the halfway point of the field before kicking it over to a red-shelled Koopa, who quickly managed to catch the ball with its left foot, but soon found the ball out of his possession by a sliding kick from a Toad with blue dots on its head.]
"And what a steal by Blue Toad!" [The Lakitu shouted, grinning widely]
[Mario's team wasn't going to allow a steal to get the better of them. Mario quickly ran over, kicking the ball away from the blue Toad and kicked it up, and over to the other side of the field in hopes that the Boo on the Luigi's side of the field would catch and score. However, just before the ball got to the Boo, Luigi came from out of nowhere and snagged the ball with his left foot, then quickly ran it over to the other side]
"And Luigi with an interception!" [This action had shocked the Koopa, but he kept his eyes on the man in green away]
[Mario smirked, dashing over towards Luigi.] "Here we go!" [He attempted a slide, causing Luigi to jump and the ball was stolen as Mario started to run it over to Luigi's empty side]
"Oh no!" [Luigi flailed and started running over towards his brother in hopes that he could stop Mario's kick]
"Here we…!" [Mario pulled his right leg back, closing one eye to get a better shot and started to throw his leg forward]
"Is the going to be the winning shot?!" [The Lakitu leaned forward, almost falling out of his cloud]
[Before Mario could kick the ball, a large red metallic ball dropped from the sky, crushing the soccer ball and Mario kicked it, a loud "CLANG" sound emitting once he kicked the metal ball; Mario stayed silent for a few minutes before holding his foot and hopping up and down] "OWOWOWOWOW!" [Before he knew it, the ball had arms extend out of its sides, legs pop out from the bottom, and a head to sprout out]
"MAAAARRRRIIOOOO!" [Luigi shrieked as he pointed to the robot that had just spawned in front of his older brother; just then, more of these robots had dropped down and activated in the same way]
W-What's going on?! [The Koopa Troopa had asked in horror as the robots were raining down from the sky]
[The robot closest to Mario had brought down both of its balled arms, but Mario caught the arms with both of his hands and started spinning around, letting out a loud "YAH" once he hurled one robot into the other nearby] "What's going on?!" [He looked up into the sky, seeing a storm of Bowser's airships in the sky, but there was a figure at the top, and it didn't resemble Bowser at all.]
"Who…?" [While Mario was distracted, a robo took this opportunity to jumped and raise both hands over its head in an attempt to slam them on the red plumber, but Luigi had rammed himself into the robot, sending it away before it could strike Mario]
"Mario! Up there!" [Luigi pointed into the sky at the array of familiar ships]
"I know! Let's a go!" [Mario gave a nod as he and Luigi started to dash forward. Several robots tried to stop the pursuit of the two heroes by tucking in their arms and legs and flying forward towards the two heroes. Mario slid under the first one while Luigi jumped over it, using his momentum to hop from robo to robo, using his Thunder Brand to short circuit them as he went along. Mario pulled out his Ultra Hammer, batting the robos away as if they were nothing, and smacked one backwards, using this opportunity to jump on its back and ride it forward; Luigi soon hopped onto the Robo along with Mario as he drove it into the sky, hopping on a small airship]
"Yup, this is Bowser's, but these robots aren't his! What's the big idea here?!" [Mario rubbed his chin while tapping his foot]
"MARRIOO!" [A familiar female voice shrieked from a good distance away]
[Mario turned his head at the familiar cry, looking to see on the biggest ship Nene with a strange collar around Peach's neck] "Peach! And …some old person! Give her back!" [Mario and Luigi started to hop from airship to airship in hopes that they could reach Nene in time]
[Nene chuckled lightly and shook his head as a blue portal appeared] "Foolish mortals…you're too late." [Peach was sucked into the portal first and then Nene went right after]
"Peach!" [Luigi had shouted as they barely missed Nene] Who was that!? [Before Mario could answer a combination of a red and green robo jumped on the main ship, breaking it in half and caused the two to fall into the sky]
[Mario was on guard quickly as he flipped in the air and flung his hammer at the robo immediately. The robo swung a hand and batted the Hammer over to the side and threw a fist at Mario, scoring a direct hit and caused Mario to fly back; as Mario flew back Luigi had been behind the robot and he cupped his hands over his head, throwing them downward and managed to make a dent in the robo as his hammer fist made contact, but the robo was unfazed as it grabbed Luigi and hurled him into Mario, then fired a lazer at the two and they hit the ground hard. The robo landed next to the now fallen pair and turned both of its hands into drills]
"Hup!" [With that cry Yoshi appeared from out of nowhere and kicked the robo in the back, forcing it to slide away from the pair of brothers] "Yoshi!"
[Mario and Luigi quickly sprang up, Luigi extending his hands as Mario grabbed them and started to spin around quickly, throwing Luigi at the robo. Unfortunately, the robo had seen this move coming and batted Luigi into a nearby hill and it charged towards Mario and Yoshi. Mario jumped forward with a hand out, but he was caught by the robo's larger hand and thrown into the ground. Yoshi tried to save Mario with another flying kick but the robo fired an eye beam that hit Yoshi's shoulder, causing Yoshi to cry out and fall to the ground.
Just as it seemed hopeless, a doll appeared and kick the robo away, causing it to slide back. The robo was clearly caught off guard as a fluffy arm was extended and made contact with its face, causing it to stumble back even more. Mario's old friend's Geno and Mallow had appeared to save them! Geno raised a hand and several stars appeared as Geno turned into a cannon, firing Geno Blast at the robo, causing it to fly into the river nearby. Mallow finished up the job by raising his hands, commanding lightning to crash into the river, shorting the robo out for good.]
"Geno? Mallow? What are you guys doing here?!" [Mario was clearly surprised at the sight of his old friends, whom he had not seen in a while.]
"I sensed danger from down below and I knew I had to help" [Geno said with his arms folded across his chest] "I picked up Mallow on the way here and we made haste.]
'Do you know what's going on?" [Luigi asked while rubbing his head]
"I wish I knew." [Replied Mallow as he pouted. Just then, a blue portal, similar to the one Nene had escaped with appeared]
"That's the portal the old guy escaped in!" [Mario stared into the portal]
"Mario, you must go. I'll stay here with the other's to protect the kingdom" [Geno said, looking at Mario]
"WAIT!" [This new voice caused everyone to turn around. As they did, Professor was riding on the Poltergest 4000. He stopped riding and hopped of his invention, walking towards Mario] "Oh good, I was able to catch up before you went. Look, Mario, I feel as though that beyond that portal will be some danger. So, I made you this!" [He held up a watch that was shaped like a star, powerups floating through the main screen] This is the item watch! I've implanted several powerups in here, should you find yourself in a pinch."
[Mario took the watch, strapping it on his wrist and nodded, then turned to face the portal] 'Thanks, Gadd. Alright you guys, while I'm gone, you have to protect the kingdom, okay? [Luigi replied with an "Okie Dookie!"] "Heh, I'm counting on you!" [Mario leaped into the portal and it closed]
"Be careful…" [Gadd mumbled]
