Mario and Zelda: When Worlds Collide: Chapter 3: Battle in the Kingdom
It was daytime in the Mushroom Kingdom. The sun was rising over the horizon of the kingdom as birds were chirping, while Toads and all other Mushroom Kingdom residents were out and about shopping in Toad Town, or heading home from Peach's party for the Mario Bros.
Link and Zelda were staying at the Mario Bros. house which was not too far from Peach's castle. Link and Zelda were watching TV, amazed by the machine.
"This device is incredible. It creates real moving images like a play, but one you can watch without going to a theater. Why hasn't this been discovered in Hyrule yet?", said Link.
"It's probably because your dimension isn't as technologically advanced as ours.", said Luigi.
"Not true, Luigi! My dimension is technologically advanced since my Sheikah Slate can take real life images and store weapons, food, clothes and other things like that. We also have machines that can fire lasers and use axes and shields in my dimension.", Link responded.
"Right. Sorry.", said Luigi.
"No need to apologize Luigi.", said Link.
"Alright. So, do you think Ganondorf is in this world, Link?", asked Luigi.
"He could be. But I doubt he's met this Bowser character.", said Link.
"Well, hopefully he's somewhere far away where he can cause harm to no one.", said Mario.
Meanwhile, Bowser was getting his airships ready to attack Peach's castle. Ganondorf was drawing plans for the ultimate machine to stop Link, Zelda, and the Mario Bros.
"So, Mr. Dragmire, you want to build a machine that will be able to stop our enemies?", asked Bowser.
"Yes indeed, good sir.", said Ganondorf.
"What about the Dimensional Diamond, where is it?", asked Bowser.
"Truth be told, I don't know.", said Ganondorf.
"Well, let's get ready to invade the Mushroom Kingdom.", said Bowser.
"Got it!", said Ganondorf.
Bowser and the Koopa army started flying their airships and the Koopa Clown Car towards Peach's castle.
Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, Zelda, and Link were enjoying pizza and spaghetti, which were unheard of in Hyrule.
"This pizza food is the most tastiest thing I've ever eaten, besides gourmet grilled meat and rice balls.", said Zelda.
"You said it Zelda! This food needs to be discovered in Hyrule some day.", said Link as he stuffed his face with pizza.
"Man. You sure do love eating don't you, Link?", asked Mario.
"Yeah. I'm a glutton.", said Link.
"Nice to know someone enjoys our cooking.", said Mario.
All of a sudden, the TV program was interrupted with a news broadcast.
"Hello Mushroom Kingdom citizens, this is reporter Kane Toadstool here with Mushroom Kingdom news. Bowser, King of the Koopa tribe, is invading the Mushroom Kingdom with his son. However, this time he has a new ally. He appears to be some sort of warlock with green skin and red hair.", said the reporter.
"Damn! I knew Bowser would've met Ganondorf!", said Luigi.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's go save the kingdom!", said Zelda.
Quickly, the Mario Bros., Link and Zelda ran to Peach's castle.
Meanwhile, Bowser had just invaded Peach's castle and was firing Bullet Bills and cannonballs at the castle.
Princess Peach had no doubt heard what had happened, and she immediately sprung into action.
Two Hammer Bros. and Boomerang Bros. came out and started throwing hammers and boomerangs at Peach, which she dodged.
"You want my castle Bowser? Try and take it from me!", said Peach valiantly.
"If you say so.", said Bowser. Bowser then threw Bob-ombs down at the bridge of Peach's castle.
Just then, the Mario Bros., Link and Zelda made it to the castle and saw Ganondorf in the Koopa Clown Car with Bowser.
"That's Ganondorf? He's just a warlock with green skin and a pointy nose!", said Mario.
"Well, your arch-nemesis is a turtle dragon hybrid with red hair.", said Link.
"Fair enough, both our enemies are weird.", said Mario.
"Ah, if it isn't the Mario Bros. Come to stop me, eh? And who are these two elf people you brought with you?", asked Bowser.
"I'm Link!", said Link.
"And I'm Zelda!", said Zelda.
"So these are your enemies? Two teenagers?", asked Bowser.
"Well, your enemies are two 20 year olds in overalls.", said Ganondorf.
"Fair enough. Anyways, you four won't defeat me and my new pal, Ganondorf.", said Bowser.
"Oh yeah? Try us!", said Luigi.
"Very well.", said Bowser. Bowser then began throwing Bob-ombs again and the Mario Bros. chucked them back at the Koopa Clown Car. Ganondorf got out his sword and then began to fight Link while Bowser Jr. launched Bullet Bills and cannonballs.
Peach took her opportunity to fight Bowser by triple jumping high into the air and landing a kick on Bowser's face with her high heels.
"Ow!", said Bowser.
Mario and Luigi took out a Cape Feather and a Raccoon Leaf and flew into the air. Mario punched Bowser and hit the Koopa Clown Car a couple times, while Luigi fought Bowser Jr. in the Junior Clown Car.
Meanwhile, Link and Zelda were fighting Ganondorf and Ganondorf took one swipe of his sword knocking Link down. Ganondorf was about to smite Link, not before Zelda kicked Ganondorf in the face and then started slashing at Ganondorf.
Then, Mario had an idea. He figured it was now the time to use the Starmen he collected just recently. He threw a Starman to Luigi, and one to Zelda and Link. Link and Zelda immediately started glowing as a star symbol appeared on their arms.
Mario and Luigi used the Starmen to knock out Bowser and Bowser Jr., while Link and Zelda used the Starmen to defeat Ganondorf. After defeating Ganondorf and Bowser, Bowser and Ganondorf retreated to the Koopa Clown Car.
"We'll meet again, Mario Bros!", said Bowser as he flew off in the Koopa Clown Car.
Link and Zelda noticed the stars on their arms. "Why do we have stars on our arms?", asked Zelda.
"May be because since you're from another dimension, our magical items work different for your bodies. You must've absorbed the power of the Starmen and now you can use it whenever you please.", said Mario.
"Makes sense. At least we'll be prepared for them next time.", said Link.
"We made a pretty great team all of us.", said Peach.
"You said it Peach.", said Luigi.
