(A/N: Hello everyone! Despite this story currently doesn't have any reviews (which I'm fine with), I do need to thank someone on their reviews to the previous story, but this ay or may not only happen once.

BENDROWNEDISOUTTHERE: Thank you for the review on One-way out of Shibuya! I apologize for cutting it short, but it happened, and I have no regrets (well, maybe a little). I also thank you on your comment for this story and I will try to improve!

In this chapter, more at the beginning before we handle the Goomba King, for most of the chapter, this will be Penelope and Peach's current situation before Mario's and at the end it will involve Twink appearing.

Here's the third chapter!)

Chapter 3: Penelope and Peach

Penelope wasn't happy with her current situation.

For the fifth time, she shouted, "I would LIKE to speak with the one in charge of this establishment PLEASE."

"Um…Miss Penelope…?" Peach asked her.

"WHAT."

"You'd have to leave the room in order to go speak with Bowser, but the Guards will drag you back in."

"There is no way in hell they're dragging me back here. I will come back in if I want to and that is final."

Penelope stormed over to the door and kicked it open before slamming it shut, with Peach yelling hopelessly after her, "Miss Penelope! Wait!"

(Outside of Peach's bedroom)

The guards saw Penelope come out of her room that she was sharing with Peach.

"No, ma'am. You are going back into that…"

A now angered Penelope became Cuniculus Cantus and proceeded to attack the guards with fierce fire attacks before going back to normal and using her Melee attacks on them, which knocked them back into the wall and scared them, but this only alerted the other guards.

And of course, Penelope shouted, "GET THE HELL OUTTA MY WAY!"

Penelope summoned her rabbit noise to assist her as she fought.

Then she heard Joshua say, "My, my, Penelope must be having a bad day…"

"SHUT THE F*** UP JOSHUA. NOBODY ASKED YOU!" Penelope yelled.

You'd expect Bowser to be hearing the commotion, and he did, but he was assuming that the Guards were arguing about something.

However, he would soon realize he was terribly wrong. Suddenly, he heard Super Smash Bros. Brawl music coming from outside (Final Destination) and he was confused, as at the time, Brawl hadn't come out yet, and he opened the door to see that Penelope had left the room and was tearing through the guards. His eyes widened and he quietly closed the door.

Then the music changed back to the current Paper Mario song in the castle.

What Bowser didn't realize is that Penelope heard the door close. Upon noticing, Penelope sped up the process of fighting before she eventually had all the guards piled up and she opened the door to where Bowser was writing.

"THERE YOU ARE YOU SON OF A…"

Bowser noticed Penelope and tried to keep calm. "Why aren't you in your room with Peach? I probably should call the guards on you.

"If you do, I'll beat the crap out of them right in front of you. Let me ask my d*** question."

Bowser was taken aback to see that Penelope wasn't afraid of him.

"Get on with it."

Penelope exploded with, "WHY THE HELL DID YOU TRAP ME HERE?!"

"It's not my fault you weren't affected by the attacks. Besides, you're a maiden like Peach (except Peach is much more beautiful than you), so got locked up too."

Penelope went silent before raising up her left fist and Bowser got up and closed his diary, trying to escape what was coming to him. "Now if you excuse me, I'm going to bed. Bye!" Bowser went to the door and ran out of the room, but Penelope went after him and ended up chasing him in circles until Kammy came in and shouted, "What's going on here…ACK!"

Penelope whacked Bowser and Kammy at the same time and the two fell down.

"Okay, okay! I give! You are allowed to leave the castle as much as you wish. And you are also allowed to wander throughout the castle without dealing with the guards, okay?!"

Penelope smiled in triumph. "Thank you."

Then she went back to the room. With a groan, Bowser said, "That chick is ridiculously powerful…and scary. Just about as strong as or even stronger than me."

(Peach's Room)

Penelope came back in without the guards throwing her in and she noticed Peach.

"Penelope, what happened? I hear commotion outside."

"Oh, nothing. I just beat the crap out of the guards out there and scared Bowser."

"You scared Bowser?!"

"Mm-hmm. With my little friend called Lefty." Penelope indicated, raising up her left fist.

Peach trembled a little. "You are very violent for a girl."

"I know…" There was suddenly the sound of knocking on the balcony door.

"What the…Are you kidding me? WHO COULD'VE GOT HERE, WE'RE IN SPACE! You know what Peach, I'm going to go check it out."

Penelope went out of the room, and closed the door behind her, only to meet familiar, mischievous violet eyes…wait…

"WHAT THE HELL. JOSHUA…"

"Hello there, Penelope dear~. Miss me?"

"No. Why does your art style kind of look like Princess Peach's at the moment?!"

"Because. Besides, you look the same in a way, and your eyes are as brown as milk chocolate. And its not the Thousand Year Door game where Peach's art style has changed."

"OH SHUT UP. Get off of the Balcony, you annoying son-of-a…"

"My, my. Someone has rather harsh language usage today, hmm? This is a children's game, Penelope dear."

"And you're from a Rated-T game."

"Touché."

"I never thought I would hear you say that. Now GET OFF OF THAT D*** BALCONY, YOSHIYA, OR I'LL PUSH YOU OFF."

"I can just fly back off."

Penelope's eye twitched. "Can I tell you how I describe you?"

"Sure. I have plenty of time."

Penelope took a deep breath, prepared to insult Joshua. "You sir, are practically the Satin of a god. It doesn't matter if you are able to bring back people from the dead or judge them through a stupid game to find whose "worthy" to come back to life. I hate you. You are the bane of my existence, and merely treat me more as a plaything than a human being. And you know what I say to that? That's sickening. Absolutely sickening."

Then Peach came out. "Penelope, who are you yelling at…Oh my."

Penelope went quiet and saw Peach. "What…?"

"Is that a friend of yours Penelope?"

"HELL NO…"

"I was just coming to see her, since I saw her…little predicament, that's all."

"How did you get here?" Peach asked Joshua out of curiosity. Joshua went quiet for a moment, thinking of how to word his statement before saying. "Well, how I arrived here is a secret, but in order to get here…It was easy. I flew here."

"You can fly?!" Peach asked, sounding amazed.

"I can too, but I don't have my wings. They vanished."

"Would you like to come in? It must be painful standing against the balcony from the outside of it like that."

"NO, NO, NO, HELL NO, F*** NO, PEACH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE…"

"I'd love to. Come on, Penelope."

Penelope groaned as she, Peach and Joshua went back inside.

(Somewhere…)

In the forest somewhere laid Mario, who was currently unconscious. In the darkness, seven silhouettes or maybe spirits of stars began to circle around Mario while the Star Spirit theme played.

Then at some point, they stopped and stood still. Two of them went down to the unconscious Mario. "Oh, thank heavens!" The star with the pink bow (NOT THE RIBBON.) began. "He's been gravely injured but I think he'll recover."

The one with the closed eyes like Brock from Pokémon and the short black mustache replied to that with, "But Bowser has the Star Rod! He might be mightier than Mario!" Continuing on, as if he were giving up on Mario, he cried, "Its hopeless! All is lost!"

The two went back up in their original spots and the Eldest Star began to say, with one of his arms up, told them, "Everybody just calm down. As long as we keep it together, there's always hope. Now…" He went to saying, "Our fates are in Mario's hands. We must try to revive him. Gather around, everyone. Send Mario your power!"

The seven stars began to give Mario their power. "Phew…that's it. That is all we can do right now. Mario, please, get up. Please. " Lastly, the seven stars vanished and then…

A pink-ish colored Goomba with a bow came into the scene, looked around and then on one foot with her mouth opened before going back on her two feet. "It really sounded like something fell down around here somewhere…Oh…who could that be?"

The Goomba ran over to Mario and upon getting to him, she looked down at him. "This red shirt, this hat, and this mustache…You know, this really looks like the one and only Mario! It couldn't be…could it? The real Mario?"

She proceeded to yell at Mario, "Hey! Hey! Wake up! Up and at 'em!" This attempt didn't work. Then Sho came down from the sky and shouted at Mario, "Hey, hectopascal. You're so zetta slow."

He didn't wake up. Sho stared at him before flying off momentarily. The Goomba ran around him for a bit in panic before going and yelling, "Dad! Goom-pa! Goom-ba-rio!"

Mario was left in the clearing for now. In the darkness of Mario's unconsciousness, the Elder Star from before appeared in front of Mario. "Mario? Can you hear me, Mario…? I'm Eldstar, a Star Spirit. I have something very important to tell you. It concerns the Princess…and all of the Mushroom Kingdom…and that girl who got trapped with them…But sadly, I haven't the strength to talk to you here…"

He instructed the unconscious Mario to come to the Shooting Star Summit. He then went to explaining that he and the other stars, or the Star Spirits from before would be waiting for him there. Then he vanished. Mario finally woke up and jumped out of the bed he was in. He looked up, confused where he was at. Then a Toad came into the room.

"Oh…Mario! I'm so happy to see you awake!" Walking down the steps, he went over to Mario and explained, "You haven't opened your eyes for days and days! Everyone's been worried sick!"

Mario proceeded to ask the Toad where he was at. "This place? This is Goomba Village, a tiny village that is just west of Toad Town. The only residents are me and a single family of Goombas."

Mario jumped at this. "The Goombas in the family are about the nicest folks you'll ever meet. They're the ones who found you unconscious in the forest and carried you here to get better." Mario began to think and then an explanation mark appeared over his head. Then he asked something to the Toad.

"Huh…? A star with a mustache? You're saying a star told you to go to the Shooting Star Summit?" Mario nodded. "No, I saw nothing like that. And I sure didn't see anyone come in or out of this house. I wonder, Mario…maybe you just had a dream?"

Mario tilted his head to the side and a question mark appeared above his head. "Although maybe not…It could have been some sort of message from a Star Spirit. They live in Star Haven. Shooting Star Summit is the nearest place to Star Haven, so that would make sense."

Mario thought for a moment and then the Toad spoke to him again. "Who knows? In any case, I'm glad too see you've recovered. I know the Goombas would be happy if you paid them a visit."

Then Mario proceeded to exit the door, about to go on an adventure that would be big…and challenging too.

(A/N: Don't worry. Mario's not going to die…though he'll get a few Game Overs and have to start from the point where he was at before. Penelope also isn't going to stay captured. She occasionally leaves the Castle from time to time.

Also, it will be common for Penelope to be rather violent towards Bowser.

Please review if you'd like and don't flame please. I'll try my best to update, as I'm trying to work on all of my 16 stories and eventually complete them.

I will see you all in the next chapter! And why did Joshua decide to visit Penelope and Peach at their time of peril?

Ciao!)
