This is my first fic. Don't expect it to be as good as the ones here right now. I don't own Nintendo or anything else in here, so don't sue me.
Chapter 1: The Island
"Mario Mario, report to the Boss's office," the voice came over the PA.
Mario Mario was an ex-plumber who had a job with an industry that was searching the ocean at the end of The Land of Nintendo. After the Nintendo lands couldn't get any bigger, there was talk that they would have to search for large islands out at sea if they were to expand any more, so Princess Peach of Mushroom Kingdom put money into making a company solely for this purpose. For 5 years, nothing has been found.
Recently, however, a boat returned to the shores of Mushroom Kingdom. The only survivor on it was a single soldier who was once a Hyrule Castle Guard, and he passed out almost as soon as the ship hit shore. He was injured badly, and was taken to this organization. He was unconscious most of the time, but he woke up just as Mario was walking through the room to take a shortcut to the exit at the end of his shift. The soldier managed to draw a map showing Nintendo and an island the size of a great distance away. He drew several islands along the way, labeled everything, and was about to tell Mario something when he died.
Mario had taken the map to his superiors, and now he was being called.
What's this about. It's like they thought I killed him or something, he thought
He passed the medical facility where the soldier died, in the care of Mario's clone Dr. Mario. He also passed the lunchroom where his younger brother Luigi was on break. Luigi was too busy eating a slice of Mushroom Pizza to notice his brother walking by. Mario eventually came to the boss's office. He opened the door and went inside.
When he entered the Boss's room, he noticed that the boss wasn't alone. Princess Peach was with him.
"Hi Mario!" Peach said.
"Ahem. Mario M. Mario, it appears that the Hylian soldier died in front of you. Did he say anything?" began the Boss.
"No, he was about to when he died. He did draw the map that you probably have now," stated Mario.
"Well, in any case. I'm putting you in charge of a new expedition to the land his crew, which I recognize to be the crew of the S.S Triforce, a Hylian mission that was sent out a few years ago. Princess Peach here will fund it. Go gather up a crew and come back here to get a ship," said the Boss.
The Boss left his office to go on a break. Mario and Peach remained in the room.
"I'll go. Since you're leading this journey, who will protect me from Bowser while you're gone?" she asked.
"Good Point. I normally will tell you that Luigi or Dr. Mario or even Yoshi will help, but since I'm planning on bringing them all with me, It won't really matter. I'll go gather them up. Meet me at Toad Town square at dawn tomorrow and I'll have maybe all three of them with me, but a crew of 5 won't be able to do what 50 Hylian soldiers couldn't. We'll need a few more. I'm guessing 20 at least," he said.
"OK. Bye Mario!" said Peach.
Mario went first to where Luigi was taking his break. Luigi had just finished his pieces of Mushroom Pizza when Mario came in.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"I'll need you to come with me to the place where that map I told you about goes to," said Mario.
"Me! But…" began Luigi.
"You're my brother and one of the best fighters I know. We need the best for this one," he said.
"Fine, but I'm not saying I won't regret this," said Luigi.
"OK, that's three. You, me, and Peach. I'm going to ask Dr. Mario and Yoshi, too. That will be 5 if they agree to come. Somewhere around 25 people is what we'll need if we pick skilled ones," said Mario.
"I'll go get Yoshi. I think I know where he is right now. You can get Dr. Mario," said Luigi.
The next morning was a foggy one at Toad Town square. Mario and Dr. Mario were waiting around for the others to come. Luigi never returned home, so Mario wasn't sure if he would come. Suddenly, a figure appeared. It was Peach.
"So, Luigi and Yoshi aren't coming?" she asked.
"We don't know," said Dr. Mario.
"Luigi went out to find Yoshi almost right after our meeting. I haven't seen him since," said Mario.
After an hour of waiting, the 3 people were about to leave when Luigi and Yoshi came into view through the fog.
"What kept you, we've been waiting over an hour," said Mario.
"It takes awhile to find a Yoshi in a jungle, even if you know where he is," said Luigi.
"So, what's going on?" asked Yoshi.
"I think we should get some people from Hyrule. The King of Hyrule will be glad to know the S.S Triforce discovered something, and might lend some help for another expedition ," said Peach.
"That's unlikely. What would make him believe that we won't all die like the crew of the S.S Triforce?" asked Luigi.
"What ever managed to kill 49 of Hyrule's best soldiers and severely injure another has to be strong, and we might need more strength to fight such a thing. If we have someone with the right amount of strength, The King of Hyrule might think we have better chances. I think you know who I plan for the job," said Mario.
"No. You can't mean…" began Luigi.
"Yes, that's who I mean," said Mario.
"You can't be serious!" said Peach.
"You know he won't help us," said Yoshi.
"He'll probably kill us just for bugging him," said Dr. Mario.
"Well, we're going anyway. You never know until you try," said Mario.
The group of 5 headed toward Bowser's Castle.
