"I've gotta go help my people!" Daisy cried, racing off the board as Corona and Aurum trailing her heels, leaving her friends standing at the end by themselves.

"Well, I did not see that coming," Mario said, while his brother was knocked out of his dreamy state.

"I hope Sarsaland will be okay," Peach commented. "Remember how Bowser lifted my castle into the sky?"

"Which time? That happened like twice," Luigi mumbled, remembering how many time they had saved her.

"During the Star Festival," Peach sheepishly replied, a bit embarrassed by the numerous amounts of kidnappings that Bowser committed alone.

"I still have the scar," Mario replied, pulling up his red sleeve to show a horn like mark imprinted into his skin. "But, I'm always happy to help you, Peach."

"Thanks, Mario. Well, I better get back to the castle," Peach said, blushing and ran back to the castle. The bros. themselves headed home, had some spaghetti, before falling asleep into their red and green beds. Their house was a nice, little house with a tiny living room, bathroom, storage area for all their plumbing tools, and next to that a bathroom, and their bedroom was a loft near the ceiling where a mushroom-shaped lamp sat on a block nightstand. To the right was the tool Mario was given as a child when he first stopped Bowser, and the violin for Luigi, and their collection of trinkets that got from each time they faced a bad person.

Morning had come as usual. but they soon heard, a loud knock woke Mario, while his brother was still fast asleep. He walked downstairs, still in his red pajamas, walked to the front door and drowsily opened it to see Peach. Peach was not wearing her usual attire of a frilly, pink dress, but instead a causal pink dress that reached her ankles, a silver-colored shawl that was swung over her shoulder, some desert-proof sandals, and her golden hair covered by a rough spun veil. Mario looked to see she was holding a white, crisp paper decorated with an orange ribbon and a design of golden flowers: it was Daisy's letter paper. "You and Luigi have to help me," she cried her face as pale as Luigi's and Daisy's.

"Why? Bowser invaded the kingdom and you didn't get kidnapped," Mario guessed, half-joking but seeing her unusually serious expression, settled down.

"No! Just look," Peach cried, handing him Daisy's letter. The letter read:

Peach, Luigi, Mario. You have to stop Bowser. Goomer

was right! Bowser is here is Sarsaland, and he's turning

my people into bricks, and turned our guardians immobile.

We have to stop him. Meet me in the village near

the Red River, and I'll explain the rest. Just Hurry Please!

-Daisy.

"This is horrible!" Mario cried, and he rushed upstairs and quickly woke his brother. Quickly, they dressed in some desert proof tunics with some sandals, and some red and green shawls that covered their shoulders.

"Ready to go!" Mario shouted, as Luigi usually shuddered. The three headed down a warp pipe to Birabuto. Birabuto had always been hot beyond belief, but something was eerie about Birabuto as almost every sandhouse was abandoned when they reached The Red Village. The Red Village was tiny in comparison to the capital of Birabuto where the Governor resides, but it was well kept with a tiny planter for food, houses of sand bricks, and the Red River for water.

"Where is everybody?" Peach whispered, as she surveyed the land for any signs of intelligent life. The only life to be seen were a few palm trees, and a couple of desert flowers, but no Daisy.

"That's what we're trying to figure out," Mario said, looking over the land as he remembered it being so vibrant and happy. Suddenly, a pie made of coconuts just barely hit Mario, but instead smacked Luigi dead on.

"AHH! We-We're U-under a-attack!" Luigi cried, hiding behind his brother as he

searched for whoever threw that pie, as the cream began to drip.

"Relax, Luigi," Mario said, as Peach walked over to where the pie came from. "It's just whip cream."

Peach, meanwhile, who had been looking for whoever might have thrown that pie. "There's another one," a voice said, and Peach quickly looked for whoever that might've been.

"She looks like the Princess," another voice said, and Peach tried to run away, but when she looked down she was standing in a hard, glue-like sand that nearly blinded her from the sheer brightness.

"Who are you?" a third voice interrupted. Peach looked up once more to see that no one was near.

She summoned up her royal face she wore during the meeting and said, "My name is Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom, second-born daughter to Queen Myra and King Toadstool (may they rest in peace), and younger sister to the Crowned Princess of Sarasaland." She looked up again to see three sphinx-like Gaos. The first one was purple, the second was green, and the third was red.

"Is it true?" the green Gao asked. "Are you truly the Princess?"

"Yes. What happened here?" Peach asked, over the ash streaked walls of the sandy buildings, the deserted homes with gaping holes in its walls, remnants of blast marks that scorched each and every house within a radius of its blast, and faint shards of ice and thick black briars with daisies entwined around them.

"Oh, Your Highness. It was-" began the purple gao, before the red one interrupted him.

"Horrible. A Travesty. Too Terrible to Describe in Words," the red one said in the most dramatized voice he could muster up.

"HEY! YOU INTERRUPTED ME!" the purple goa said, and then shot a fireball at the red gao, who then fired little ball-shaped. That's when chaos pretty much started, with balls of fire and metal being shot back and forth, as Mario and Luigi came walking up only to be confronted by this very strange display.

"Guys! You're making a fool of us in front of the Princess!" the third gao cried, but only to be ignored by the two older ones.

Peach, meanwhile, having enough their relentless arguing gave a long, clear whistle that rattled Mario and Luigi, and caused the gaos to cease. "Thank you. Now if I may, my sister told us to meet us in this village. Have you seen her?"

"It's horrid, Princess. They came and-" the green gao began before they heard the rolling of a chariot and when they looked behind them they saw Bowser and his right hands! Bowser was riding in a scaly, green chariot with spikes surrounding its wheels, and Bowser was dressed like Birabutoan pharaoh.

"Ah...Has the princess come to see me?" he questioned as the three-headed snake wearing a snake-like crown on each of its heads and Kamek the magikoopa and Bowser's nanny, laughed like that was the most hilarious thing in Nintendra.

"I don't know how that's funny," Mario whispered to his shaking brother, as Peach and the gaos gave the koopa king a dirty, unflattering look.

"See YOU! Ha! I only came to find my sister!" Peach cried, sounding a lot like Daisy right now.

Bowser chuckled."Seems this story got switched around. I captured the almighty Season Princess," he mockingly began. "And innocent Princess Peach is off to save her."

"Where did you take her!?" Peach cried, her face turning bright red as some Koopa Football players overtook Mario and Luigi as they flung to get free from their harsh grip.

"Want to join her?" Bowser continued and threw a net at the younger princess and the bros. "Take them to MY castle," he ordered, and Peach and the Marios did all they could to break free from the nets grasp but it zapped them whenever they struggled to get free. Mario was the longest to survive, and they last he saw was Bowser who he once called ally against Count Bleck years before.
