Tatanga, Beldam, Marilyn, Doopliss, Grodus, Dimentio, and the Koopatrol army were at an abandoned beach, surrounded by huge war-like bunkers and buildings.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! WHERE THE HELL DID THOSE GUYS COME FROM!? HOW DID THEY GET THOSE FLYING SHIPS!? AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY CONTAINER OF VANILLA BEAN ICE CREAM!?" Tatanga roared.

"I'm sorry sir! Please give us until Tuesday to get the container!" Said a random Koopatrol.

"Fine! Get me three containers by Tuesday then!" Tatanga replied.

"WHAT!? BUT YOU JUST SAID ONE CONTAINER!?" The Koopatrol shrieked.

"Now, now, Tatanga, you must calm down. Surely, it is not completely your fault as we didn't expect the likes of that horrendous Mario Crew coming in and screwing everything up. Well, I mean, we DID expect someone to come in and try to save the day, but we had no idea it would be those guys in a freaking arwing!" Beldam said.

"Arwing? Is that what those ships are called?" Tatanga asked.

"Yes, my king. I have seen these arwings before and they are a potential threat to us and we were lucky all of us made it out alive. Sigh...why can't anything go in the villains way for once?" Beldam shook her head.

"Hmm...arwings. Yes...surely, with those menacing ships, they will stop at nothing at trying to take us down with those things. I was lucky enough to take one of them down actually, but I have this horrible gut feeling they'll come back even harder this time. We're gonna need something just as strong to counter them." Tatanga said as he rubbed his chin.

"Oh yes, I must agree my king! Even with my powerfully powerful magic attacks, I'm afraid it wouldn't be enough to destroy those goons." Dimentio added.

"Hee hee hee...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Doopliss laughed maniacally out of nowhere.

"And may I ask what the hell you are laughing at!?" Tatanga demanded to know.

"Well, me, Marilyn, Dimentio, and Beldam have been working on this spell in advance that could protect this entire island that we are on, my king. It would deflect any kind of attack AND make it impossible to get through." Doopliss explained.

"Guh-uh!" Marilyn uttered and nodded.

"Oh yes yes! Our spell power combined with your scepter, my king, could make this place impenetrable! In fact, it could make your scepter become even more powerful than it is right now!" Beldam laughed in excitement.

"...You never did that for me, Beldam..." Grodus muttered.

"R-really!? Wow! I must say, I'm impressed. To be honest, I found it a bit odd that a scepter this powerful couldn't do something like that, even though it could smash huge objects apart. Alright, I want it done this instant!" Tatanga demanded, but then snapped his fingers. "HEY WAIT A SECOND! WHY DIDN'T YOU DO THIS WHILE WE WERE AT THE CASTLE!?"

"Erm...well...um...you see...we were still practicing it then...and...um...we wanted to perfect it...but...err...we didn't have enough time to do all of it because those losers came out of nowhere and...um...yeah, that's it." Doopliss said VERY nervously.

Tatanga sighed at him. "Whatever. Just do it now."

"Of course, my king! All right everyone, stand back. This could be dangerous." Beldam warned and the Koopatrol army plus Grodus backed away while Tatanga got out the scepter and held it in the air. Beldam, Marilyn, and Dimentio waved their hands slowly in a circulation motion while Doopliss was making a chant.

"To the powers that be...make those annoying heroes see...that entering this place...is impossible to face...let your shield guard this island...MAKE IT INDESTRUCTIBLE!" Doopliss loudly yelled at the last part.

"What? Indestructible doesn't even rhyme with island!" Tatanga pointed out.

"Shut up! It was the only thing we could come up with!" Doopliss retorted.

Then, the wind started kicking up and a big blue magic ball floated in Dimentio's hands. Then a red ball appeared in Beldam's hands, and a yellow ball in Marilyn's. The three balls blasted towards the Scepter, all hitting the very tip of it, where the glass ball lays. The glass ball started glowing a darkish color and the entire Sceptoer started shaking.

"Wh-what i-is going o-on...?" Tatanga stuttered due to the immense shaking. Suddenly, a bright white beam shot out of the Scepter's glass ball and blasted into the sky, brightening up the entire area. It kept going and going until it spread out and the white beam shrouded all over the entire island. The white color faded and everything went back to normal.

"That's it? But I don't see any kind of shield whatsoever!" Tatanga complained.

"Watch, my king." Dimentio said and grabbed a random Koopatrol and threw him with intense force, extremely high in the air. The poor Koopatrol screamed for his life while some of the other Koopatrols gasped in shock. The Koopatrol stopped flying and his body was seen smashing against an invisible wall. His body slid down the 'wall' a bit and fell into the water.

Tatanga was absolutely astounded at this. "AMAZING! I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! IT ACTUALLY WORKED!"

"Dark magic never fails you, my king. Mwee hee hee!" Beldam evilly laughed.

"Well, this just makes everything easier for us then! Now then everyone, let's re-configure our world domination plan, shall we?" Tatanga said and the large group started walking to the bunkers area.

"Um, Tatanga? What are we gonna do about the guy that was thrown in the ocean...?" Grodus asked.

"Oh, just leave him there! It's only one guy, so it's nothing important." Tatanga yelled back without even looking at him.

Grodus sighed. He was unhappy. Well, that's not 100% true. He was happy that his body was back and no longer a simple head, but he hated the fact that he was being used by Tatanga. Not to mention, he basically stole his scepter! Grodus was beginning to get tired of playing the 'evil role' and just wished that he could go back in time and never bothered to kidnap Peach back in Rogueport because that's pretty much when all of this started considering after Mario saved the world from the Shadow Queen, Tatanga found him in his head form and somehow managed to find his Scepter. Tatanga used the Scepter to bring his body back the way it was, but of course, he had to make a deal with Tatanga first. That deal was to help him get world domination. Of course, Grodus agreed to it because he was desperate at the time, but now he regrets all of it. Maybe it would've been better for him to be just a head...


Peach, Daisy, Rosalina, Dixie, Toadette, Birdo, Goombella, Luigi, Yoshi, Fire Bro, Waluigi, Toad, and DK walked back outside and met up with Kylie and Arfur.

"Hey guys! What's up now?" Daisy asked.

"We may have found out where Tatanga and his little 'army' are hiding at now. When R.O.B analyzed Tatanga's data back when you guys were fighting him, he also managed to get his signal from his spaceship that he was using. R.O.B traced the single and sent the info to us, revealing that Tatanga is hiding out on some small island east of Rogueport we have never seen before." Kylie explained.

"Rogueport? Eww! I don't want to go to that horrid, disgusting, tacky, crazy, weird, smelly, and vomit-inducing place!" Peach complained.

"Umm, Peach, I just said that the island is east of Rogueport, which means you don't have to go to Rogueport!" Kylie said and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah! Listen more closely, dummy!" Waluigi spat.

"Alright then. So you want us to go over to this island and basically do the same thing as we did at the castle?" Rosalina asked.

"Pretty much. And since he just got there, I bet he won't be expecting you guys to follow up so quickly, which makes the mission all the more easier!" Arfur said.

"Cool! Let's get a move on then!" Dixie cheered.

"YEAH, LET'S GO KICK SOME FAT BOOTIES!" Fire Bro roared, picked up Toadette, and threw her into a large, faraway tree.

Kylie and Arfur facepalmed themselves at the same time. "Can someone go get her please? We'll warm up the van...AND DON'T LET THAT PSYCHO OUT OF YOUR SIGHT!" Kylie shouted.


The main 13 got in their arwings, and blasted off into the sky.

"Alright, me and Kylie will be giving you directions on how to get to this island. All you have to do for now is head east. We'll let you know where to turn next." Arfur said.

"Ohmigosh, flying this high is, like, making me super panicky. Does anyone have any, like, anxiety pills?" Goombella asked.

"Are you serious right now? Even if we did have pills, there's no way we'd be able to give them to you right now!" Birdo scowled.

"Just take a slow, deep breath in your nose and out your mouth, Goombella, and don't even think about it." Rosalina advised.

"Like, thanks Rosalina! You're such a sweet and caring person. You would be a great girlfriend to DK!" Goombella cheered.

"WHAT!?" Everyone else except DK yelled.

"Hahaha! Goombella, you're so funny! You tell the funniest jokes ever!" DK faked laugh in embarrassment, trying to cover up the situation.

"Um, that, like, wasn't a joke. Didn't you say that you liked her?" Goombella questioned.

"DK likes Rosalina? Pffff! As if that will ever happen! She has a better chance being with me than that gorilla..." Waluigi whispered.

"Uhh, NEW SUBJECT! So Peach, how did your meet with Mario go? Was he alright?" DK quickly asked.

"Oh yeah, he was fine. But that bitch, Pauline, was in there, watching over him! I swear to God, if I find out she does anything to him, I will bash her in the head with a frying pan!" Peach angrily yelled.

"Geez. Why do you two hate each other so much? You're always going at it with her! Mind telling us some background history on that?" Toad asked.

"Fine. Well, basically, Mario confessed to me last year that he kissed Pauline and felt really guilty about it. I was angry, of course, but I forgave him. He also told me that Pauline was desperate to be with Mario because she 'apparently' never got over her crush on him back when he saved her from Cranky Kong thirty years ago and said she 'fantasized' about him for years, and that she hated me for being with Mario. That's why I despise her. I'm positive she has mental issues and I wouldn't be surprised if she was as crazy as Fire Bro." Peach explained.

"NO ONE IS EVER AS CRAZY AS FIRE BRO, THE TWELVE FOOT TALL GORILLA WARRIOR IN DISGUISE!" Fire Bro randomly shouted. There was a minute of awkward silence after that.

"So...umm...wow. Even if I did have a crush on someone's boyfriend, and I was single, I would NEVER go try to be with him because it just makes a bunch of unnecessary drama, ya know?" Dixie said.

"Exactly. I knew that girl was trouble because there were so many rumors about her being a slut, a bitch, a hooker, a drug dealer, an escaped convict, a serial killer, and a girl that was actually a robot created by this software company back in 1980 but ended up being a failed project because she supposedly had 7 toes on her right foot by some stupid mistake." Birdo added.

"And you wanna know what made me meeting Mario even worse, besides seeing Pauline? Lakilala was there too!" Peach exclaimed.

"Umm, you mean Lakilulu?" Luigi corrected.

"Oh yeah, probably. I never cared enough about her to remember her name." Peach replied.

"Can someone tell me why people are always hating on Lakilulu? I swear, Peach is like the 20th person I've heard about that despises her!" Yoshi asked.

"I don't think there's any reason, to be honest. People just find it fun to hate on her. Plus, it's not like she actually does anything to defend herself, which doubles the fun." Daisy answered.

"Okay, can we change this conversation to something LESS boring!? Seriously, I'm almost falling asleep here!" Waluigi complained.

"Deal with it, Waluigo! This is gossip at its finest!" Peach yelled.

"Waluigo? Really now? You know Peach, they should create a new stereotype just for you...THE ANGRY DUMB BLONDE!" Waluigi yelled back and laughed.

"WHAT? I am not dumb! I am the smartest person I know! You all agree with me, right!?" Peach angrily asked everyone else.

"Well...uhhhhhhhhh...you know...umm...you see...it's kinda...how do I say it...uhh...WATERMELONS!" Yoshi randomly yelled out.

"I think you're s-s-s-s-s-smart, Peach..." Luigi nervously stuttered.

"Umm, why did you stutter at that word?" Peach asked.

"N-no reason! No reason at all! Heh heh..."

"Sigh...Toad! Toadette! You guys think I'm smart, right?" Peach said, starting to sound desperate.

"Errr, I'm gonna say...Pikachu?" Toad said.

"3 TIMES 3 EQUALS 9!" Toadette spurted.

"...Daisy? Rosalina?"

"Oh hey everyone! Look at the beautiful scenery below us! Check out those hills and that sparkling ocean!" Daisy nervously changed the subject.

"No comment." Rosalina quickly said.

"D-DK? Dixie? Yoshi? BIRDO? FIRE BRO!?" Peach started sobbing at this point.

"Erm, did you guys know that sniffing bananas is actually healthy for you? I just learned about this last week!" DK also tried to change the subject.

"Aha! I was right! I told Funky Kong this but he wouldn't believe me!" Dixie added.

"Well Peach, you see, there are dumb people and smart people in this world...and then you have the ones that are in between. The ones that are in between are the ones that fall right in the middle of the scale and are, essentially, neutral. The ones that are neutral have their smart and dumb moments while the ones that are dumb are...uhh...wait, what was I talking about again?" Yoshi asked.

"I'm just gonna pretend this entire thing never happened." Birdo said.

"I LOVE ORANGES!" Fire Bro randomly cheered.


Kooper was walking down the hallway and noticed Goombario sitting by himself with a bright smile, completely lost in thought.

"Oh, hey Goombario! You sure look happy. Care to tell me why?" He asked as he sat down next to him.

"One word...GOOMBELLA! Man oh man is she amazing! Seriously Kooper, me and her were completely made for each other! We're both smart, we both love reading books, we're both huge fans of Mario, we both love to Tattle, AND we both enjoy Avocados! Seriously, the majority of the world hates Avocados, so this just makes our connection even MORE awesome!" Goombario squealed with delight.

"Um...oh! Yeah, I see...I think, but...do you think the feeling is mutual?" Kooper asked.

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Goombario asked back.

"I mean, no offense dude, but I saw you walk with her to the cafeteria a few hours ago. I saw you talking on and on to her, but she honestly looked bored out of her mind. Plus, all the other times I've seen you with her, she just seems distant from you. Not to mention, she's 19 and in university, while you're 15 and still in high school! That might be awkward for her to date a guy way younger than her..." Kooper confessed.

"Bored!? Please! I was telling her about what ingredients go into an Ultra Shroom! That is NOT boring! Kooper, I get the feeling that you're jealous that I'm scoring with a beautiful and intelligent lady who I'm going to marry and live with until the day we die. Oh! And we'll have six kids too, I already wrote some names down, do you wanna see?" Goombario asked as he got out some kind of notepad.

"No no no! I am NOT jealous, I'm just telling you what I really think, okay? Besides, Goombella isn't the only girl out there, there are plenty of other fish in the sea...or in this case, GOOMBAS in the sea! Wait, can Goombas even swim?" Kooper questioned while Goombario sighed.

"Whatever Kooper. Believe what you want to believe." The braniac got up and left the koopa by himself.

Meanwhile, Bowser, Kammy, and the Koopalings were in line getting their food to eat, except for Roy.

"Dude, how the hell are you not hungry? We were stuffed in that stupid cell for hours!" Larry yelled to Roy.

"Because there was a slightly rotten banana in the room and I just HAD to eat it! I even ate the peel, I tell you!" Roy yelled back.

"WHAT!? YOU WERE EATING A BANANA AND YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL US ABOUT IT!? YOU BASTARD!" Wendy screamed and ran to him, only to get held back by Morton and Iggy.

"Wendy, shut the hell up! Maybe if you and the rest of my stupid family weren't such assholes, I would've shared it with you!" Roy roared.

"You vill get your karma for being zuch a hoarder, Roy! Kammy, give me your vand!" Ludwig demanded.

"No way Jose! I wouldn't trust any of you brats with my wand even if my life depended on it!" Kammy screeched.

"Ludwig, seriously, knock off the vampire persona, it got old the minute you started using it." Iggy said while rolling his eyes.

"Can someone enlighten me on how he started that in the first place?" Bowser asked.

"We all have no idea. The guy just woke up one day and decided to talk like a generic vampire. He never told us why nor did he ever stop using it even once." Morton answered.

"He probably got it from watching too much Twilight late at night. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Lemmy laughed and fell to the ground.

"Dude...that wasn't even funny. Plus, Ludwig doesn't even watch Twilight." Roy said.

"Do you guys know if this place has any alcoholic beverages?" Bowser Jr. asked.

Meanwhile (again), Mimi, Nastasia, O'Chunks, Mona, and Lady SaSa were sitting at a separate table away from everyone else. Mimi was staring longingly at Roy.

"Sigh...that Koopa guy with the sunglasses is soooooo hot! I wonder if he goes for short and petite girls like me?" Mimi said.

"What? You mean Roy? Give me a break. The guy is a complete narcissist. I've heard awful rumors about him and the rest of his family and I wouldn't dare touch one of them with a 64 foot pole." Nastasia scoffed.

"Bleh! What in the hell do ya see in that lad!? He looks like one o' those body builders that are self-obsessed with showin' off their body to a bunch of desperate laddies! Those sunglasses ain't helpin' the situation either!" O'Chunks complained.

"Ugh, you two are so judgmental. You can't just judge someone on how they look. I REALLY wanna talk to him but I'm a bit scared to." Mimi sighed.

"Do you think the Koopa family would accept my album from me for free? I heard the Koopa race are more open to the Pop genre than other races are!" Lady SaSa desperately asked.

"Dude, STOP TALKING ABOUT YOUR ALBUM ALREADY! We've all heard more than enough from it!" Mona yelled at the popstar.

"Excuse me, you do NOT yell at me like that! I am Lady SaSa, the world's biggest popstar! I have 26 #1 singles all 10 of my albums reached number 1 as well!" Lady SaSa clearly lied.

"Umm, I thought ya had 3 albums?" O'Chunks asked.

"Well, I'm counting my remix albums and my unreleased EPs." The popstar quickly corrected, but no one believed her still.

"Oh look! Roy's by himself! Well...here goes nothing..." Mimi gulped and slowly walked to the Koopa.

"Ugh, typical regular girl falls for the bad boy. Such a stupid stereotype. I'm glad I've never done that before." Mona scoffed.

"Although I'm against this, I'm curious to see how this will all turn out." Nastasia said and slowly formed a smirk.

Meanwhile (yet again), Amy, Charmy, Banjo, and Kazooie were all sitting together out in the courtyard.

"Girl, do you really think calling your little boy toy will get us out of here?" Kazooie scowled.

"Of course SONIC will! Sonic can do anything! All I need to do is call him, tell him where I am, then he'll hop into a portal, come here, rescue us, and take us back to our worlds!" Amy said in excitement as she got out her cellphone.

"Wait a second, there's a portal that connects this world to ours!?" Charmy gasped.

"DUH! Have you not been paying attention at all this entire trip? How do you think we even got here?" Amy said and rolled her eyes.

"Uhh...where is this portal located at exactly? Because me and Kazooie took a warp pipe here, but we both forgot where it was..." Banjo asked as he scratched his head.

"It's located in Exploding Banana City, about an hour from here. But of course, we can't get there since it's too dangerous so hopefully Sonic will able to save the day." Amy answered and typed in Sonic's number and pressed the green phone button. She held it to her ear and waited for Sonic to answer.

Hey, this is Sonic the Hedgehog! I'm obviously not here right now so please leave a message after the beep...unless you're Eggman! In that case, screw off!

"Damnit Sonic! Ugh, he didn't answer..." Amy groaned then she heard the beep. "Hey Sonic! Me, Charmy, and two other third party characters named Banjooie and Kazoo are trapped here in Mushroom City because of some destruction crap going on due to some stupid villain who's trying to be the next Bowser. Please come through the portal and save us! Kiss kiss!" Amy then hung up and put her phone away.

"First off, it's KAZOOIE and BANJO. And secondly, there's no way that guy is coming all the way down here to save us! Even if he does try, he'll probably get hurt along the way or get lost trying to find us!" Kazooie argued.

"Well well, aren't we a bit pessimistic? Since you obviously want to take charge, Mrs. I-Got-Screwed-Over-By-My-Video-Game-Company, what do you suggest we do?" Amy asked while tapping her right foot.

Kazooie fumed at that statement, but kept herself from screaming at her. "I suggest that we ditch this place and get to this Exploding Banana City ourselves so we'll be able find our way out faster. There's no use in the four of us staying in a world we don't even live in."

Banjo nodded. "Even though it seems really risky, I guess it's the only choice...so, which way is the city?"

"It's that way!" Charmy and Amy said at the same time, pointing in different directions. Amy was pointing east, while Charmy was pointing west.

"Um, I'm positive that it's east!" Amy groaned again.

"No way! It's totally west! West is the best, yo!" Charmy said, trying to act all cool.

"Charmy, why don't you fly to the west area and see if it's there? If it's not there, then it's obviously at the east!" Banjo suggested.

"Because my wings were damaged by those ugly soldiers! I can barely fly above 6 feet!" Charmy answered.

Kazooie facepalmed herself. "We are beyond screwed."

Meanwhile (again for the 3rd time), Pauline and Mario were alone by themselves in the patient's room.

"I'm still so disappointed in myself...how could I just let this disaster happen? I'm Super Mario for crying out loud! I'm suppose to prevent stuff like this from happening!" Mario cried.

"Hey, don't be so down on yourself! You did the best you could, and no one can ever tell you otherwise." Pauline said in encouragement.

"I know that, but...I still feel like I let the kingdom down. People are so use to me saving the day but not this time...I'm scared to even go out in public." Mario cried again. Pauline had never seen Mario this upset before, excluding what happened in the prison. He really was that depressed about not being the 'hero' this time.

"Who the hell cares what other people think? The only thing that matters is that you stay true to who you are and that I love y-...I mean that I love...yams! Um, yeah heh heh." Pauline blushed at her mistake in the last part of her sentence.

Mario sighed at her. "Pauline, I know you still like me. But it's not gonna happen. I'm with Peach now and you're gonna have to accept that fact."

Pauline sighed back. "I know, I know! But what's so special about Peach anyways? All she does is get kidnapped and drink disgusting tea at her castle!"

"You would know how special she is if you spent years with her, like I did." Mario answered.

Pauline sighed again and left the room. She clenched both of her fists. "I WILL get Mario to love me and fall out of love with that dumb broad...even if it's the last thing I do!"

EOC.

Next chapter will feature more drama, humor, chaos, and randomness...you know, the same things that basically appear in every one of my fics, LOL. Please review.
