The Toads carried Mario and Luigi into the infirmary. The whole castle was in a frenzy with Princess Peach being kidnapped. Mario and Luigi began to gain consciousness.

" Whoa." said Mario still disorientated

" Ow." said Luigi rubbing his head

" Master Mario, Master Luigi, are you okay?" asked Toadsworth

Both Mario and Luigi nodded.

" Very good then." said Toadsworth

Meanwhile back at Hyrule Temple…

" Link?" said a voice

Link was regaining consciousness, a shadow figure was above him.

" Link are you okay?" asked the person above him

It was Pikachu.

" Pikachu? (Link sits up, still groggy) What hit me?" asked Link still in pain

" Well, still straight to the point with you. Ha ha." said Pikachu giggling

" Where's Zelda?" asked Link

Pikachu remained quiet.

" Damn, I can't believe I…I…" said Link

" Link, it wasn't your fault, she got the drop on you with those weird crystal shards." said Pikachu in a reassuring voice

Back at Princess Peach's Castle…

" Who was that guy?" asked Luigi

" I dunno." said Mario

Both brothers were just beaten bad.

" We need to save Princess Peach." said Mario

" Yeah but…" said Luigi

" But what?" asked Mario

" We just got beat." said Luigi

" So." said Mario

" Not just beat, beat badly." said one of the toads

" Still, we need to save Peach." said Mario

" You sure are a glutton for punishment Mario." said a familiar voice

" Huh?" said Luigi

Fox dropped down from above.

" Fox, what are you doing here?" asked Mario

" Heard what happened, so I rushed here to tell you what I found out. And to tell you just what you will be dealing with, or to be more precise, who" said Fox

At Hyrule Temple…

" I can't believe that happened." said Link

" Just because you can't believe something, doesn't make it any less real." said a voice from the shadows

" Huh?" asked Pikachu

Mewtwo teleported right beside Links bed.

" Oh hey Mewtwo." said Pikachu

" Hello, I am sorry about the princess." said Mewtwo

" Thanks." said Link with his face down

" Don't worry, we'll think of something." said Pikachu

" I don't have to think, I already know what I'm going to do." said Link

" And what is that?" asked Mewtwo

" I'm going to bring her back." said Link, trying to get up

" Link wait a sec, your still very injured." said Pikachu

Link hurt his arm while trying to get up. His arm was shot with Zula's attack and it was a direct attack.

" (Grunts in pain) Damn." said Link under his breath

Mewtwo levitated near Link and grabbed his hand, Mewtwo used his psychic powers to heal Links arm.

" Hmm, thanks." said Link

" Welcome." said Mewtwo

Mewtwo moved back towards the wall.

" Unfortunately I didn't come here to heal you. I have information on the people who took Zelda." said Mewtwo

" People?" asked Pikachu

" Yes, it's not just one person its…" said Mewtwo

"…its a group." said Fox

" A group?" said Mario

" Yes, there are five of them. They call themselves ZYXWV, a criminal organization." said Fox

" Why do they call themselves ZYXWV?" asked Mario

" Each member's name begins with one of the letters." said Mewtwo

" Oh." said Pikachu

" Well what do they want with Princess Peach?" asked Luigi

" Your guess is as good as mine." said Fox

" I thought you had information." said Luigi

" There are a lot of things they could want with a princess." said Pikachu

" But why Zelda?" asked Link

" (Sigh) Well, some of our people think they might be looking for the Smash Gate." said Mewtwo

" What's the Smash Gate?" asked Mario

" Its an old legend, its supposed to give someone amazing powers. You gain, according to the legend, an almost limitless supply of power." said Fox

" And they need Peach because?" asked Mario

" Well they need five maidens." said Fox

" Five maidens?" asked Link

" Then that means they need four more maidens." said Pikachu

" Well actually, we just got word that the Princess Peach was just kidnapped from the Mushroom Kingdom." said Mewtwo in a worried tone

" So Zelda was kidnapped too." said Mario

" So it seems." said Fox

" So there are three maidens left." said Luigi

" Yes. As you know there are other lands with princess', and anyone of them can be one of the maidens." said Fox

" So we should go and try and find these maidens then." said Mario

" Huh?" asked Luigi

" Those ZYX guys need the other maidens right. So they will be going after the other maidens." said Mario

" Yeah." said Luigi

" When they make their move, will be there." said Mario

" Well that can be a problem." said Fox

" Why?" asked Luigi

" There is no way of telling which maiden they will go after next, plus we don't even know who the maidens are." said Fox

" Then I guess we will just have to find out who they are by ourselves." said Mario

Mario got up and headed towards the door. Luigi followed.

" Well this may help." said Fox

Mario and Luigi stopped.

" You should try going to Kingdom of Pokemon." said Fox

" Why go there." asked Luigi

" One of the words we came across when searching for information on the Smash Gate was voice. The Princess of the Kingdom of Pokemon is Princess Jigglypuff." said Fox

" That's a good lead." said Luigi

" Go to the city Wild Forest, that's where you'll find the princess." instructed Fox

" Thanks." said Mario

The two brothers headed out.

Link rose to his feet.

" Link?" asked Pikachu

" Well, I'm going to go find Zelda." said Link

Pikachu looked stunned, yet deep down he expected this.

" You sure you want to go. Those guys are really strong." said Mewtwo with a sly grin, leaning against the wall

" Never let that stopped me before." said Link

Link got up and walked over to the window, he was unaware of the danger that was ahead of him.
