Mario and Cappy

Princess Peach couldn't be any less excited.

She and Bowser just landed in Bowser's new and improved kingdom, which was made up of giant castles inspired by Japanese culture. The giant castle that they were entering was a lush, flowering fortress, with a concentric series of walls and baileys, a traditional garden and tea house, and a central keep. Instead of the usual lava that would be in most of Bowser's castles, its moats were filled with poison.

Bowser opened the door of the castle; he held Peach's hand as the two walked down the hall.

An army of Koopas and Goombas looked at the not-so-happy couple. Bowser was the only one proud to be in this relationship. The Goombas cheered for their boss's soon to be wedding while the Koopas miraculously pulled trumpets out of their shells. Playing celebratory music for the couple, Bowser waved to them and smiled. (1)

Peach rolled her eyes, feeling to desire to throw up.

The Koopa King and his "wife" exited the hallway, the former waved goodbye to his minions, thanking them for their support.

"Princess Peach," Bowser smiled, patting the princess on the back. "Welcome home!"

"This is not my home!" Peach snarled, pushing Bowser's hand off her back. "I'm not marrying you! How can I after you ruined my date with Mario!? Him and I were enjoying a peaceful dance until you showed up!"

"Oh, please," Bowser rolled his eyes. "The only reason he loved you was because you baked him cake."

"And why do you love me?" Peach scowled.

"Because I want power!" Bowser smirked, clenching his fist. "With you as my wife, I will be the king of the Mushroom Kingdon… that, and I need you to parent my kids."

"W-WHAT!?"

"Speaking of which, they should be in this next room,"

Bowser opened the door to the room he'd be getting married in and saw nothing, but entropy.

Junior and the seven Koopalings were running around the room, making a mess out of everything that was nicely decorated. Morton and Roy were throwing burger patties around the area, screaming.

"It's raw!" Morton shouted, laughing.

"It's bloody raw!" Roy chuckled, throwing a burger at Morton's face.

Wendy was talking on her flip phone while riding her Clown Car around the room. "No, I can talk, I'm just driving."

Junior, Larry, and Iggy were playing video games on Junior's Nintendo Switch; the three of them were playing a game called "Arms." As soon as Junior's character won the match against Larry's character, the Koopaling with the spikey blue hair got annoyed.

"Junior, I can't believe you cheated!" he shouted.

"Hey, let me tell you something, Larry," Junior said, putting a hand on Larry's shoulder. "Get good."

The blue-shelled Koopa tackled Bowser's second in command, beating him up. Iggy ran after his brothers and chanted, "Fight, fight, fight, fight!"

The only responsible (or at least he was trying to be) one around here… was Ludwig Von Koopa.

"Wendy, don't use the phone while driving!" Ludwig shouted. "Junior, Larry, you two stop fighting right now! Iggy, stop cheering them on! Morton, Roy, for Geno's sake, quit shouting that the burgers are raw! They're not raw, they're well done!"

His brothers and sister didn't listen.

"Wow, you really need help with that?" Peach said sarcastically. To which Bowser was aggravated. Steam poured right out of his ears and fire spewed from his mouth. Gritting his teeth, clenching his fists, and shaking his body, he disrupted the chaos.

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!" (1s)

Every Koopaling dropped into dead silence when they heard their dad. Nobody moved an inch.

Bowser retained his equanimity before asking his eight kids what was going on. "Would you mind explaining to me why the place looks like the aftermath of a boss fight?"

Junior and the Koopalings exchanged looks of fear. How could they respond to that?

"Um… dad, we could explain… you see- "

Bowser shook his hand as well as his hands. "You know what? I don't wanna know. Did you get the supplies I needed from those kingdoms?"

Junior and the Koopalings looked each other again in confusion.

"The what, dad?" Roy asked.

"Those supplies?" Bowser asked. "You know, the ring? That dress? That bouquet of flowers from that garden? Did you get them?"

Bowser's children sat in dead silence again. They all gasped silently and gave nervous sounds a response to their dad's query.

"You see, dad," Junior replied in a nervous tone. "We sort of… might have… forgot."

Bowser stared at his children for no less than a second.

"It was all Ludwig's fault!" Wendy pointed.

"How's it my fault!?" Ludwig retorted.

"You're the one that's supposed to be keeping us in check!" Wendy said.

"I was doing just that, you dullard!"

"This dullard burger is still raw!" Morton laughed.

Bowser opened up his mouth and shot a ball of fire at Morton's burger, burning it to a crisp. The Koopalings ducked out of the way until their dad stopped his rampage. Morton looked up at the burger, which was completely nonexistent.

"Little too crispy, dad," Morton said.

"You incompetent fools!" Bowser snarled. "I cannot trust you to do the simplest of tasks!"

"Relax, dad," Iggy said. "We'll just head to those kingdoms and gather the materials."

"It's too late for that," Bowser said, rubbing his head. Princess Peach folded her arms, unamused that Bowser planned a wedding and didn't think that his idiot children would screw it up. "I need you guys to get measured for your wedding suits. Lucky for me, I always have a Plan B. Lemmy, being me the phone book!"

"You got it, dad, hee-hee!" Lemmy giggled. He brought the phone book straight to Bowser. The Koopa King adjusted his white suit before grabbing the house phone off the wall. He opened the book and tracked down a headline that said, "Ya got a weddin'? Call Da Broodals: Da Best Wedding Planners' in the business. Don't delay, chump, call today!"

Bowser typed in their number.

As he did that, Junior approached Peach, wanting to give her a hug.

"Hi, Mama Peach,"

"Shut up!"

Bowser finally got ahold of someone on the other side of the phone.

"Hello?" said the man on the phone.

"Are these the Broodals?" Bowser asked.

"Nah, man, these are not the Broodals. These are Da Broodals. Topper speaking, how can I help ya?"

"I'm getting married today and my dingus children forgot to the supplies I needed. I need you all to travel to a few kingdoms and fetch my materials for me."

"How many kingdoms ya talkin'?"

"Four."

"Hmm… it's gonna cost ya,"

"I figured. How about I give you… 9999 coins. Sound like a plan?"

Topper hung up the phone.

"Hello?" Bowser asked. "Hello?... they hung up on me!"

Something tapped him on the shell. Bowser turned around and was startled by the presence of four rabbits. One of them was a short rabbit wearing a green suit, the other one was fat and wore dark blue, one was a female who wore a purple dress, and the other one was a tall, slender, one that wore suspenders. Together, they were known as Da Broodals.

"Sorry to scare ya there, boss," Topper, the bunny in the green suit, said. "Ya really gonna give us 9999 coins, sounds a bit pricy, but hey, I ain't complainin'."

"Whatever it takes to have my proper wedding," Bowser said. He took something out of his drawer; it was a map. He opened it up, revealing all the kingdoms that were near his area. "Here's a map of all the kingdoms you need to go to, find their supplies and come back to this spot."

Topper took the map and analyzed it. So did his friends. "All righty, boss, ya got yourself a deal."

Suddenly, a Koopa came into the room with a letter. He rushed over to Bowser and handed him the piece of paper.

Bowser took the envelope and opened it, revealing a picture of Mario and Cappy.

"Who took that picture, a Goomba?" Junior asked. "They have no arms!"

"Shoot, I should have known he'd still be alive," Bowser grunted, crumbling up the picture and throwing it away. Peach pulled the picture out of the trash can, revealing Mario and Cappy's features. She smiled. "I should warn you, Broodals, if you ever see a short Italian man, be careful, he can be pretty dangerous."

"Ha! That little plumba's no match for Da Broodals," Topper replied with a cocky grin. He turned his attention to the Broodals behind him. "Come on, ladies, we got work to do!"

The Broodals walked outside Bowser's door, making their way to their airship. Bowser folded his arms and grinned. "Wow, that was so easy, I almost feel guilty. Well, I gotta go plan some things out for the wedding. Kids… why don't you play with Mama Peach."

"Really!?" Junior and the seven Koopalings shouted at once. They all turned to Peach, smiling at her with excitement.

"Oh, no," Peach said before all eight of the kids dogpiled on top of her.

"Hey, play nice!" Bowser said before he walked into his room.

Mario and Cappy emerged from the shadows and entered a room filled with large white structures surrounded by water. In the crystal-clear ponds, frogs were swimming whereas others were standing on white platforms.

The plumber walked up to the edge of the pond, rubbing some cold water on his face. Cappy flew off his head and looked up at the tall, mountain-sized, structures that awaited him and his companion.

"That platform looks to high for us to reach," Cappy said.

"Not to worry," Mario said; he finished cleaning his face. "They don't call me 'Jump Man' for nothing."

"They don't call you what?" Cappy asked.

Mario took a few steps back, looking up at the tall platform. He cracked his fingers, flexed his muscles, twirled his mustache, and tightened the straps on his blue overalls. He pressed his brown boots against the ground before he took off running.

He jumped, then double jumped, and then triple jumped into the air.

Thinking he was going to reach the platform, he fell, face-first, into the lake.

Frogs that were enjoying a peaceful swim made startled noises, as they hopped out of the water and ran away. Cappy flew down and fished Mario out, placing him on one of the platforms next to him.

"Okay, that didn't go as well as I hoped," Mario said, shaking his head like a dog.

"We're gonna need a leap of faith," Cappy winked, looking at the group of frogs.

"Was that a pun?" Mario asked.

"Follow me," Cappy said. Both heroes jumped across the platforms until they landed on solid ground. They were observing a group of frogs look for some bugs to eat. Cappy rubbed his stubby hands together before landing on Mario's head. "Throw me at the frog,"

"Wait, what?" Mario raised an eyebrow.

"You have to trust me on this," Cappy replied. "Do you trust me?"

"Y-yes, but…"

"Throw me at the frog. I know what I'm doing."

"Okie-dokie, if you say so," Mario replied. He grabbed the hat and tossed him on the frog's head.

At first nothing happened… until Mario couldn't feel the ground below his feet.

"What the!? What's-a going on!?" Mario shouted in both fear and question. He felt his body atomize into small cubes; he thought he was disintegrating. Suddenly, he was whisked away into the Frog's head. As soon as he landed inside, he had no idea what was going on. Everywhere he looked, he saw nothing but pictures of the frog's evolution.

From tadpole to the frog it became today; Mario saw it all.

Not knowing how to respond to this, he waved his arms and legs back and forth as he fell into a ball of light.

"MAMMA MIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Ribbit… Ribbit… Ribbit!"

What the spaghetti?... what was that noise?

"Ribbit, ribbit!"

What is that? Am I doing that?

Mario opened his eyes to find that he was shorter, slimier,… and Cappy and the frog were no were to be found. He looked around for them until he saw something that haunted his soul… He had webbed feet.

This meant that he became the frog.

"Mamma ribbit Mia! I'm-a ribbit frog!" he shouted in pure fear. He hopped around and landed on a platform, looking at his webbed feet. "Where are my hands!? Where are my feet!? Why is my butt so flat!? Cappy, what did you do to me!?"

"It's weird, I know," Cappy said. "But you're gonna have to get used to it."

"How did you ribbit do this?"

"It's a special power us Bonnetors have. To put it shortly, we can posses objects as well as weak-minded enemies as we please. We call this our Capture Abilities. Cool, huh?"

"I liked you better then you can pull levers,"

"That's boring, where's the fun in that?"

Mario chuckled, processing what he just heard. "Okie-dokie, let's-a ribbit bounce!" The Mushroom Kingdom hero bounced high in the air, landing on the hill he tried to get on top on before. "Huh, I guess it is easy being green."

He kept jumping onto more ledges until he came across a door similar to the one he found earlier.

"Wow, you're a natural," Cappy said, looking down at the frog's bushy mustache. "Here, I think you've had enough of being green for today. Allow me."

Cappy bounced off the frog's head, which resulted into Mario returning into his normal body. The two of them bashed open the door, going through another dark hallway. The captured frog was left dazed, wondering what just happened to him.

A group of other frogs hopped over to him, wondering what happened. They saw stars in his eyes.

"Uh, oh," one of them said. "He must have been messing with that pig again."

When they reached the other side of the door, Mario and Cappy realized they were on the very top of Top-Hat Tower. They saw more broken battleships and scared Bonnetors that were cowering beside each other. Before the adventurers continued any further, they heard the sound of trumpets.

"Do you hear that?" Cappy asked.

"Yes, mi amico," Mario answered. "What is that?"

The two of them climbed up to the top of the balcony when they suddenly saw a small battleship that resembled Bowser's aircraft. On top of it were four rabbits that were loading boxes of Cap Kingdom branded hats and suits. The two heroes looked at each other before walking up to the rabbits.

"Mi scusi!" Mario shouted, pointing the rabbit in green. "What are you doing?"

Topper and the Broodals looked over their shoulders, seeing the plumber and his floating hat.

"Hey!" said the one in blue. "Dat's the guy da boss warned up about, yes?"

"Gawrsh," said the tall rabbit in orange pants and suspenders. "I didn't expect to see him so soon, ya-huck!"

"Buzz off, plumber" the female scoffed. "This is our treasure!"

"That treasure belongs to the Cap Kingdom!" Cappy retorted. "You have no right to have it!"

"Who are you guys anyway?" Mario asked.

The Broodals exchanged sneers and giggles before they introduced themselves.

"Da boss warned us there'd be a fella with a mustache coming along! Guess we oughta introduce ourselves. We'd da wedding planners for da happy couple. I'm Topper!" the rabbit in green chuckled.

"I'm Spewart!" the one in blue burped.

"The name's Rango, ya-huck!" the rabbit in orange said.

"And I'm Hariet!" the female smiled.

"And together, we're Da Broodals!" they all chimed in.

"The Broodals?" Mario and Cappy asked one another.

"Not the Broodals, da Broodals!" Topper corrected them. "Anyways, you're too late! We already got da treasure we need from dis kingdom. Although, roughing up goodie-two-shoes losers like yourselves was part of the contract, so I guess we gotta deal with ya for a bit."

Topper jumped off the ship, spawning three extra green hats on his real one. "Come on, plumba boy, show me Whatcha got!" (2)

Mario took Cappy and sat him on his head. "You picked a fight with the wrong plumber, furball!" he reached into his pocket and found a Fire Flower. He ate it and transformed into Fire Mario. Cappy flew off his friend's head, watching the plumber's clothes change from red and blue to white and red.

"What the?" Cappy asked, raising an eyebrow.

Before he could ask Mario what the new change in clothing was all about, the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom shot three fireballs at the rabbit. Topper leaped to the side, evading all three shots. He stuck his tongue out at Mario before he dodged more orbs of fire.

"Hold still!" Mario snarled, he clapped his hands together and created a wave of fire. He aimed it at Topper, but when he shot it, he missed. "Oh, come on!"

"Ha-ha!" Topper laughed at the hero's poor aim. He landed behind him and kicked him in the back. Mario tumbled across the white grass, landing on his side. Mario recovered before he was suddenly hit by one of Topper's hats.

Topper hit Mario with his other two hats before kicking him into the air. Cappy gasped and flew up to save Mario. But as soon as he got up there, the green-suited rabbit slammed Mario into the ground with his feet.

Mario's fire power went away after that attack.

Topper landed beside him, snickering. Before he could deliver the final blow, Cappy came in and pushed the rabbit away from the plumber. Topper tripped on his feet, landing on his back.

"Topper, ya clumsy oaf!" Spewart chuckled.

"Shut up!" Topper snarled.

"Mario, are you okay?" Cappy asked.

Mario got up on his knees, panting. "I'm-a fine!... He's pretty tough. Even with the Fire Flower's powers, I couldn't touch him. Got any ideas?"

"I have one," Cappy said. "Throw me at his hats."

"Got it!" Mario gave the Bonnetor a thumbs up.

Topper jumped on his feet and respawned his three hats. He tossed them at the heroes. To which they dodged out of the way. Mario threw Cappy at the hats, making them vanish in thin air. Mario then jumped on top of Topper's head, hurting the rabbit. He jumped off and landed beside him.

"Stupid little runt!" Topper snarled; his hats returned to him. He threw them again, but Mario and Cappy's teamwork overpowered his attack. "Stop moving!"

Mario jumped on Topper's head again; the rabbit groaned in pain.

"What are ya doin', boss?" Rango asked.

"Stop acting stupid and kick him already!" Hariet grunted.

"I need something to eat," Spewart commented.

"Will all of you stop talking!?" Topper screamed. Mario jumped on his head again. He was able to kick Mario in the chest, sending him rolling across the grass. But thanks to Cappy, Mario recovered with ease; he ran back into the fight.

Topper formed what he hoped would be the final set of hats that would kill Mario, and he threw him around the arena. All three hats circled in on the plumber, but Cappy flew around Mario in a circle, shielding him from the hats.

Mario made the final blow on Topper's head, knocking the rabbit onto his back. (2s)

"Argh!" Topper grunted. He jumped back onto his battleship, waving goodbye to the heroes. "You may have won dis round, but now this, chump! You won't be so lucky next time!"

The Broodals flew away, leaving Mario and Cappy by themselves.

"Don't worry," Cappy said to Mario. "We'll catch up to them soon. I have a feeling we'll be seeing them from time to time."

"I couldn't agree more," Mario nodded. He then looked over to an electric power line across from him. He didn't notice it during the fight; it must have popped up after the quarrel concluded. "What's-a that?"

"That… is our ticket to the next kingdom. Throw me on that electric orb."

Mario complied, and together, as a ball of electric energy with a mustache and a red cap, the two ventured off the neighboring kingdom, unaware of what dangers and mysteries lie ahead.

END OF CHAPTER 2

Mario and Cappy have encountered Bowser's new wedding planners, The Broodals, and it looks like they're going to be running into them a lot during their adventure. But luckily for them, a new companion awaits in the Cascade Kingdom. Who will this companion be? We shall find out soon enough in the next chapter. I do apologize for the lack of music here, I couldn't find any good choices for some of the other scenes. But anyways, when we return, we will be entering...

"Chapter 3: Our First Power Moon."
