Three years ago, a young boy was celebrating his 10th birthday, in a peaceful village near a forest. There weren't a lot of people, only about 20 people lived in there, but it was a community where everyone knew each other.

The young boy was a very handsome, happy young man, having blond hair, dark brown eyes and wore a short sleeved blue shirt, with a navy vest that was slightly stitched together, and khaki pants. The other kids knew him to be a very energetic child, always having a desire for adventure.

The boy had nothing but happy feelings as the other kids sang the Happy Birthday song to him, and everyone clapped as his mother, Lillian Soule, who was also the mayor of the town, walked up to him.

"Make a wish, Perry, and it might come true." Lillian told Perry.

What young Perry wished for more than anything, was for a big adventure, fighting bad guys and saving people, being a ten year old child. He blew on the ten candles, with an applause following afterwards.

Joyful feelings rushed through his body, to the point where Perry was hysterically laughing and unknowingly started to levitate and spun around uncontrollably, causing a tornado to surround him, causing alot of damage to the party and scaring the other villagers at the same time.

"Oh my goodness! He's flying! And he's causing a tornado!" One villager cried.

"Run for your lives!" Another cried as the villagers ran screaming from the commotion.

And then, when Perry opened his eyes, he saw the damage done and panicked, causing the tornado to cease and for him to fall on his bottom.

"He's a freak!" A red-headed village boy, named Lenny accused, pointing a finger at poor Perry.

"No! I didn't mean it! It was an accident! And I'm not a freak!" Perry defended himself as his eyes turned yellow and he unknowingly turned invisible.

"Oh yeah? Then how come I can't see you?" Lenny snarled.

"What are you talking about?!"

Perry looked down to find he can't see his arms. Or his legs. Some of the kids started laughing as he ran away to his house, fearful of what was becoming of him.

"Look at him run! Guess Perry's a wimp and a freak!"

"Stop it! All of you! He didn't mean it, we didn't even know about this!" Lillian defended Perry as one of the villagers grabbed Lenny.

"That boy is a monster, and you better get him out of town before he ruins everything!" Shouted Lenny's father as the villagers walked back to their houses, some of them with anger, others with fear.

Perry saw the argument from the window to his room, and began to sob.

Because of his newly developed powers, the other kids who he thought were his friends turned against him, and he didn't like this feeling that he had. This feeling that he can't control his life. The feeling of rejection.

The feeling...of being alone.

"BOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!"

Peach, having woken up from Kamek's sleep spell by a nearby geyser, jumped from her sleeping position and almost ran into another geyser, and managed to finally compose herself in an open space of tiki statues and was hysterically panting.

"Wha-what? What happened? Why am I here? Wasn't I fighting Hoo and Kamek before?" Peach asked Perry a flurry of questions.

"Yeah, about Hoo. He saved our lives." Perry explained.

"Hold on. I thought Hoo was trying to kill us."

"He was, but it was under Kamek's hypnotism that he did it. Kamek hit you with his magic to knock you out. To show gratitude, Hoo saved us."

"For what?"

"I couldn't read his exact thoughts, but when you hit Hoo in the head, it seemed to have snapped him out of his trance. We must've broken the spell he was under." Perry explained as Peach looked around her.

She looked around to find a bunch of small geysers that shot lava in the air, smaller volcanoes and she was surrounded by what looked like tiki statues. Was there a civilization in that area?

"We're in Fury Volcano, aren't we?" Peach assumed as she looked around some more.

"Yep."

Peach scrambled her hand in her backpack, trying to find the map to find it soaked in water, the ink smudged.

"Oh no! The map! It got wet when we passed through the waterfall!" Peach exclaimed as she held the map, getting a little bit of the smudge on one of her white gloves.

"It's OK. We're halfway to Bowser's Castle anyway. I doubt we need it." Perry reassured Peach as she sighed.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I can't believe I left my backpack unzipped..." Peach facepalmed at her absentmindedness.

"Well, to be fair, Kamek's ambush was very sudden. You didn't have enough time to pack our stuff."

"Yeah. Oh well. So if we're in Fury Volcano, which way do we go?"

"I think Bowser's Castle is to the northwest."

"So we go northwest. We got plumbers to rescue!"

Peach headed off northwest toward Bowser's Castle.

Back with Kamek, he had finally managed to get away from an enraged Hoo. It took all night, because Hoo was such a great flier, that he kept dodging his spells. But all he had to do was hit Hoo with a spell that sent him back to his nest in Hoo's Wood.

Unfortunately for him, he now has to come up with a good excuse as to why Peach got away as Bowser had called him in a bad mood.

"What's taking so long?! Did you get Peach or not?!" Bowser snapped.

"Well, it's like you said yesterday. Peach had those odd powers that she used to get away."

"And you let her get away?!"

"Hold on, your angriness! I may have an idea of why she has those powers."

"Go on."

"Let me ask you something: Did Peach hold a talking umbrella when you confronted her?" Kamek asked Bowser, who was searching his memory.

"Yeah, actually. What about him?"

"The princess has never used these powers before, and we didn't see the umbrella on her. Which means the umbrella could be responsible for the emotional powers."

"That's actually interesting. If we get rid of the umbrella, Peach will be helpless to stop me. Glad I thought of it. Now we just need to come up with a way to take him and get Peach out of the way."

"Actually," Kamek schemed as he looked around to find a big cave like temple nearby next to Fury Volcano itself.

"I may have an idea on how to do that."
