The Koopa Empire marched on its way to the Mushroom Kingdom, intending on starting the revenge for the destruction of their territory. The Ranger was told to stay in the trees and shadows of the Mushroom Kingdom. "Why do I have to do this?" Asked the ranger who seemed very discontent with having to stay out of sight, especially during the daytime where there wasn't any need to stay out of sight. "If the Mushroom Kingdom are their allies, I should be there as a representative of the Koopa Empire."
"Because of the toads," replied Bowser with an irritated tone. "As I have told you, the toads only contact with the humans has been met with sheer anger and injustice when the Mario Brothers came to this world. Thus, it would not be wise to show another human in the Mushroom Kingdom until we have liberated it from within. Trust in me my apprentice, I have thought of everything. " Bowser placed a communication device onto the Ranger's hand. "Contact me when you have made it to Toadstool castle undetected." He then placed a hand on the Ranger's shoulder as he bowed down in loyalty to Bowser as he took off to the trees. "And I have thought of everything," Bowser thought with a wicked grin upon his face. "You stupid kid." Bowser then told his troops to move out, careful not to pass the Town Square as they made their way to Toadstool Castle's grounds, only a few feet away from the stone bridge. He then gathered his troops as he prepared to tell how to go forward to the invasion. "Remember, my apprentice cannot know of our true intentions. So we have to play along with this friendly relationship I have with the Mushroom Kingdom." Bowser, in his human form, walked along the stone bridge alone. "Wait for my signal, when I say 'The Koopa Invasion has begun', that is when you come in." The Koopa troops waited in position until the signal was called out to invade the castle.
The Mushroom Kingdom had a tighter security protocol on before. More guards were enrolled into protecting the castle since the first invasion by the Koopa Empire. They were trained on how to deflect shell attacks from the Mario Brothers themselves as well as how to kill Goombas. The security was going to be tougher than the last time for Bowser to break, but he had confidence that he would have enough military strength to do it. Inside the castle, the lovely princesses Peach and Daisy were trying to send letters to their friends and, even if they didn't want to admit to anyone, their love interests. "It's going to be so nice to have the Mario Brothers over again." Said Peach as she had a small smile while trying to write her letter to Mario all on pink paper in red ink.
"I know, hopefully they aren't too nervous this time to be around us." Replied Daisy as she had a small smile while she finished her letter to Luigi in orange paper in green ink.
"You say the same thing every time, yet those results don't usually pan out." The girls both giggled as they sealed their letters, Peach's in a pink envelope and Daisy's in an orange envelope. They then turned the letters over to the royal mailman of the kingdom as he was getting ready to make his last delivery of the day. "Please give these letters to both Mario and Luigi. Thank you so much and you can take the rest of the day off after that. Have a great day sir." The mailman graciously bowed to both the princesses as he took off to the Mario Brother's house. When the mailman passed he saw Bowser, disguised as a human, who politely tipped his cap to him. Bowser did the same thing.
"That's right buy my con you stupid toad." Bowser though snickering to himself as he approached the castle doors. He then took out his communication device to make contact with the Ranger. "My apprentice, it is time to strike."
"Finally it's about time for some justice." The ranger replied equipping his bow. "Who's the target?"
"Not target, location. I need you to go to the hills of the back of the castle and then infiltrate the roof of the castle and enter that secret hatch. I'll make sure the princesses are ready as well."
"Yes sir." The ranger replied as he moved to the back of the castle, taking in the breathtaking exterior of Toadstool castle. "The castle is just as lovely as the princesses themselves." The ranger thought as he made his way to the foothills. When he did make it to the foothills he equipped his bow again. This time taking out an arrow that had an extremely long cord attached to the bow. He fired an arrow, it catching part of the extremely large and wide rooftop of the castle. He then pressed a button on his bow, allowing his bow to retract the cord, pulling the Ranger up to the rooftop. He took a few minutes to observe his surroundings as well as take advantage of the view that was set before him. "Maybe when this is over, I might want to check this Mushroom Kingdom out. Seems like a lovely town." He saw the Koopa troops, who looked like they were armed to fight the Kingdom. "Well, they seem to playing the part of staging a kidnapping." He then examined the rooftop until he found what he was looking for, the secret hatch that would lead him to the main hall of the castle. "Time to get this show on the road." He then went down the secret hatch, making his way to the area that he was supposed to be in.
"Excellent he's in. Now's time for me to act my part." Bowser thought as he knocked on the door, waiting for the princesses to respond. "Soon I will have my revenge."
