INT-MUSHROOM CASTLE-HALLWAY-DAY
(Open up with our heroes being transported by Samus, Captain Falcon, Luigi, and background guards.)
Falcon: We hope not to take too much of your time.
Falcon: After hearing your side of the story, we must relay it to Princess Peach and Kitana.
Drake: No biggie, so long as we get the rewards out of it.
Falcon: With all in due time.
(Cut to Naruto and Luigi.)
Naruto: So are you and that Wario guy related?
Luigi: UGH, NEVER!
(Luigi pulls out his wallet containing pictures of him and Wario from childhood, then flips it to his real brother, Mario.)
Naruto: Oh, I get it, you guys are triplets!
Naruto: The one in red's your good twin brother and Wario's your evil fat twin brother.
Luigi: (Sighs) AYE-AYE-AYE…
Naruto: Yeah, I'm all worn out too after all that fighting.
Naruto: By the way, do you know anyone named Dante?
Luigi: (Shocked) Eh!?
(Before the conversation could continue, the royal doors open.)
INT-PEACH'S THRONE ROOM-DAY
(As everyone enters the throne room, cut to Princess Peach sitting on her throne in the middle and is mighty glad to see some familiar faces.)
(Princess Kitana is on the left side sitting on her throne with her guard Jade standing beside her.)
(The throne chair on the right is empty, it is not known who that throne belongs to, but we see a triangular symbol on the top of it.)
Note: Hope that's a good enough hint some of you Nintendo players might get.
Hint: Robin Williams.
Royal Guard: You are standing in the presence of Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom and Kitana of Edenia-
Tail: Peach, longtime no see!
Peach: Tails!
(Tails flies over to Peach to greet her, shocking all the guards in the room, including Jade, while Kitana on the other hand is amused.)
Peach: Are these your new friends?
Peach: Where's Sonic?
Tails: It's a long story, but yes, I've made some new friends along the way.
Tails: Guys, this is Princess Peach, Peach, this is Naruto, Sakura, and Nathan Drake.
(Sakura does a curtsey.)
Sakura: Your majesty.
(Drake bows.)
Drake: (British Accent) Your grace.
Naruto: (Nonchalant) Yo!
(Cut to Jade and Kitana.)
Jade: Are you invisible to them?
Kitana: It would seem, but I do not mind, I find it somewhat amusing.
Jade: Disrespectful to me, more like.
Jade: They're lucky we're not in Edenia.
Moments Later…
(We fast forward Tails explaining what he and the others have gone through to everyone in the room, most of which are surprised and concerned.)
Tails: So long story, short, we need help getting back home.
Peach: (Worried) Oh my...
Kitana: This is most concerning... I knew something amiss was going on behind our backs when our people started disappearing.
Kitana: But never would have guessed it was to this scale.
Kitana: Tell me, do you still have Fuujin and Raiden's amulet in your possession?
Drake: That we would do.
Kitana: Good, hand it over to me and I shall grant you transportation back your respective realms.
(Drake and the team share a troubling look.)
Drake: We'd love to, HONESTLY, we would…And with all due respect.
Kitana: But?
Drake: It's not that simple, we can't travel back home yet, or at least I can't yet.
Drake: I wanna talk to the guardians so I find an old friend of mine.
Naruto: And I need to make sure Tails gets back home safe.
Sakura: And I need to find my Master.
Tails: And I made a promise.
Kitana: I see, well it's most unfortunate to share this, but one does not simply "talk" to the Universal Guardians…
Kitana: Especially not mortals.
Drake: Well since you know so much about them, can you send in a good word and make us an appointment?
Kitana: Hmph, quite the jokester, you would get along well with a friend of mine from Earthrealm.
Kitana: But what you ask of us cannot be done, not even Princess Peach can accept your request.
Kitana: That is why she does not speak.
Tails: Peach?
(A saddened Peach is afraid to reply, knowing full well it's true.)
Peach: I am sorry, Tails, but it's not within my control.
Naruto: (Angered) Do you guys not understand what we had to go through to get here!?
Drake: Narts.
Naruto: We all got taken from our homes and became slaves while you guys just sat in your fancy chairs and did nothing!
Naruto: Some princess you are, you said your people have been missing too, they're all probably counting on you to find them.
Kitana: ...
Naruto: Do they mean nothing to you!?
Jade: ENOUGH!
Jade: You will speak to the princess with respect, you rambunctious fool!
(Jade pulls out her spear as Naruto shifts into battle position.)
Kitana: Jade, stand down.
Kitana: She is right, apparently manners and respect don't exist where you come from.
Kitana: Tails, was it?
Kitana: You seem to be the smarter half of the group, do talk sense into them in handing over the amulets.
(Tails is feeling uneasy, not knowing what to say.)
Drake: Hey, he might be the smart one, but he's still a kid and you're not gonna put that pressure on him!
Drake: You what, let's go, guys…
Drake: We're in a fantasy world where anything's possible, we'll find another route.
(Kitana's guards surround the group, stopping them in their tracks.)
Kitana: Did I see we were dismissed yet?
