"From The Diaries of Mario..."

I went down to the house the next day, to see what I could do. I went into the bathroom. The wall was still torn down, but the pipe was gone. It was just a normal wall.

I didn't know what to do. I screamed out!

"Toad! Peach! PEEEEACH!" and I nearly fell to the ground when the wall started changing.

The pipes disappeared, and a green blur headed toward me. The green pipe formed, and my favorite Mushroom man walked out, Toad.

"Mario?" he said.

"Toad! Did, did you hear me?" I said gleefuly.

"What. What are you doing here?" he asked. "How did you know I was coming"

"I didn't. I came down here to try and see if I could go back. I wanted to go to the Mushroom Kingdom again"

"Then you are either psychic, or have good timing. I came here to get you. Our dimension is under attack again. And it's not just the Mushroom Kingdom."

"WHAT!" I couldn't believe those words. How could this happen. "I thought, I thought you put a spell to keep the Mushroom World. What happened. Who is attacking you?"

"Bowser"

"That's impossible! Bowser is dead. I saw him boil."

"Well, somehow he didn't die. Koopas must be very resistant to heat. He somehow escaped from there, weakened, and escaped back to his own world. But now he's returned."

"WHAT!"

"He's gotten a hold of our princess again. He's holding her captive. He's completely destroyed the mushroom kingdom, and reconstructed it. A majority of the citizens had died. But he's taken hold of 7 other countries of our world. He's stolen the magic wands they have that use to rule their lands. Good thing they don't have magic inside themselves like our princess, or else he would of kidnapped them too. But he has turned them into animals. His army has taken captivity. And, Bowser has enlisted the help of his 7 children to look after the seven countries."

"I, I can't believe this. This is all my fault! If I hadn't of left I could of stopped this from happening. Why did I leave!"

"Mario, there was nothing you could of done. I had to flee the Mushroom Kingdom, and am currently hiding in a safe area in Hartia, one of the 7 countries. That's where I came here from. I came here to get you. I've already got Luigi."

"Ok. This certainly isn't how I planned my return, but Bowser has taken my love. This time I have a motivation to go. And I will be sure Bowser dies this time."

I stepped into the pipe, and instead of sucking me in like the first time I went, I teleported to my destination.

I arrived in a small dimly lit house. This was the common house of Mushroom Citizens, but Toad never lived in a small place like this. Toad came in behind a moment after.

"I know this isn't a big place, but I'm in hiding. The family that used to live here was killed," he stalled for a second, but then continued talking. "Come into the kitchen, I have a surprise for you."

He opened the door infront of me, and there sitting eeating a plate of pasta, in his green overalls and caps, was Luigi.

"Luigi!"

"Mario!" I ran up and hugged by brother. I had missed him so much. It was great that the Mario Brothers were back together

"How are things back home?"

"Horrible. It's so boring there. Everything is different and wrong. How's Daisy?"

"Great. Things are wonderful with us. I was quite shocked when Toad told me what happened earlier today."

"This isn't a reunion, boys," said Toad. "We have to prepare for this."

"What's the plan sir?" I asked.

"Here are maps of the 7 countries, and the Mushroom Kingdom. I have enchanted them so they will show your own position at all times. The lands you'll be facing are Hartia, Fernano, Xaxat, Hilton, Elsume, Diantée, and Quiboc. Each of these lands have airships above them with one of Bowser's children in it. You have to get through Hartia, to the King's palace at the other side of this land. It should take a few days to walk through it. In the palace, a mushroom royalty will use his own magic to transport you to the airship. Only he can, because he is from this land. I have marked the areas that are dangerous in on your maps. Bowser has also created castles on the way to block your journey. You will never be able to get past it. You msut enter it, get past the maze and obsticles inside, destroy the koopa waiting at the end, by jumping on its shell 3 times, and the castle will destroyed. When you get on the airship, I am guessing there will be a lot guarding it. Get to the end, and fight the koopa kid the awaits. Kill him the same way as the other koopas, and take his wand. Return it to its King, and he will return to normal and so will this land. The power of the wand will allow you to transport to the next land. Keep doing this. The princess, well, she might not last long without the amgic in her body."

I had some pasta, then me and Luigi set out on our latest adventure...
