Quick little note: furfante [fur·fàn·te] means villain in Italian. Just a little language lesson for you all.

Now, I don't own the Mario characters or the songs you'll see in this story (yes, it's a musical. Not surprising, I know lol). I do, however, own the ORIGINAL characters you'll meet in this story. I hope you like them.

Anyway, enjoy!


~No One's POV~

The night sky glistened with the stars above, and the moon was full as the howl of werewolves were heard in the air. The fog grew thick as four friends raced through the forest, laughing with evil intent.

They raced through the brush before finding a small town. Toad Town.

Citizens were still awake, doing last-minute errands before turning in for the night. The cloaked girl smirked as she pulled out her dagger from behind her back. She stabbed an apple from a shopping cart and took it into her hands before taking a bite.

"HEY!" She turned her gaze to the cart owner. "You need to pay for that!" She smirked again with her magenta lips, pointing her sharp blade to him. He gulped down the fear.

"Does it look like I care?" She spoke with a voice of silk, making the owner blush at the sound.

"B-but-" He stammered as the wind blew the girl's hood down, revealing her magenta-purple hair and dark brown eyes. With those eyes, however, the owner knew who she was. He backed up, taking his hands off the cart out of fear.

"You're Princess Serenity," He said. "Leader of the Dark Tribe and daughter of-"

"That's right," She said, stopping the merchant in his speech. "Now, run along. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you." He didn't have to be told twice, for right after he ran away.

Serenity giggled as she took another bite of the apple, smiling at the sweet taste of the forbidden fruit.

"You sure do love terrorizing the Toads, huh?" She looked to the new voice, seeing her best friend walking up to her. Her short, wildly curly gray hair swayed with her movements as her usually brown eyes were glowing a golden color and looked more like dog eyes.

"So what if I do," Serenity returned. "I find it fun."

"I can tell," The other girl said, making Serenity roll her eyes in response.

"Aren't you supposed to be in wolf form right now?"

"Yeah," She sighed. "Not in this town."

"Laika," Serenity said sternly.

"I know, I should go wolf here. But, for some reason, this place is keeping me from doing so. Same for Lupin," She explained, making Serenity sigh in defeat.

"Fine," She said "Any news on where the Moonlight Rod is located?" She took another bite of her apple.

"Not yet," A male voice spoke, making the two look over to see a boy who looked just like Laika walk up. "It has to be hidden somewhere in this town, but Ivy can't feel it."

"I'm sure we'll find it soon, Lupin," Laika said.

"I hope so," Serenity said. "My mother is expecting us to find it by the end of the year.

"It's only October," Another voice spoke, making Serenity see the auburn-haired girl walk up as she was staring at the city with wonder. "We have two more months. We'll find it."

"I agree," Laika said. "And once we find it..."

"...the world is ours," Lupin finished, making Serenity giggle with evil intent while Laika howled at the moon. Gasps of fear echoed in the city, making Serenity look over at them with a smirk.

"Now this is what I'm talking about," She said. "Fear."

"RUN! IT'S THE DARK TRIBE!" A Toad yelled, making everyone scream and run away.

(SONG: "Ways To Be Wicked" - Descendants 2)

LAIKA, LUPIN, and IVY: We got all the ways to be/W-i-c-k-e-d!/We got all the ways to be/W-i-c-k-e-d!

Serenity laughed with evil, tossing her half-eaten apple away as her friends raced through town. "Oh...this should be fun." She followed.

SERENITY: Crashin' the party, guess they lost my invitation (boo-hoo)/Friendly reminder got my own kinda persuasion.

LUPIN: Looks like this place could use a bit of misbehavior/Happily ever after with a little flavor

IVY: Bad to the bone, with even worse intentions/We're gonna steal the show, and leave 'em all defenseless

LAIKA: A fairy tale life can be oh-so overrated/So raise your voices and let's get it activated (ay)

ALL 4: Long live havin' some fun/We take what we want/There's so many ways to be wicked/With us evil lives on the right side of wrong/There's so many ways to be wicked/Apple, apple dip, dip/Wanna try it?/Tick, tick/Take a bite, c'mon, be bold/Change the way the story's told

SERENITY: This time the dark is finally getting your attention

LAIKA: We're wicked by the book and class is back in session

LUPIN: You like it? Steal it/Gotta beat 'em to the treasure

IVY: A right of passage

ALL 4: bad just doesn't get much better!/Long live havin' some fun/We take what we want/There's so many ways to be wicked/With us evil lives on the right side of wrong/There's so many ways to be wicked

SERENITY: Mother/always knows best

LAIKA: Show her/pass every test

LUPIN: Hear her voice in my head

IVY: Evil is the only

ALL 4: Real way to win./We got all the ways to be/Hey, hey, hey, hey/W-i-c-k-e-d

LUPIN: Let's go!

ALL 4: We got all the ways to be/Hey, hey, hey, hey/W-i-c-k-e-d!

SERENITY: YEAH!

ALL 4: Long live havin' some fun (havin' some fun)/We take what we want/There's so many ways to be wicked/With us evil lives on (evil lives on)/The right side of wrong/There's so many ways to be wicked./Cruel and unusual/We're taking control/There's so many ways to be wicked/With us evil/lives on the right side of wrong/There's so many ways to be wicked

As she walked, Serenity pulled her hood back up, smirking before her sight landed on a red and green duo. They were running up to them.

ALL 4: Hey, hey, hey, hey/We got all the ways to be/W-i-c-k-e-d/We got all the ways to be/W-i-c-k-e-d/We got all the ways to be/W-i-c-k-e-d/We got all the ways to be.

SERENITY: So many ways to be wicked

(End of the song)

"Stop right there!" The Man in Red yelled as he skidded to a stop, while his brother, the Man in Green, fell flat on his face as he tried to stop running himself.

Laika giggled as her twin brother, Lupin, stared in disinterest. Ivy just watched as Serenity stood her ground, arms crossed. The tattoo on her shoulder was picking from under her cloak.

"Well, well, look who we have here! The jump-man himself, Mr. Mario," Serenity said, smirking.

"How do you know my name?"

"Everyone knows your name!" Serenity yelled. "You're the Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom! Princess Peach's beloved!" Her smirk never left as she spoke. "And founder of the Treasure of Rogueport. My mother told me all about you and how you defeated her."

"Your mother?" The Man in Green asked as he finally stood up. "Who's that?" He looked at her, seeing her brown eyes behind the darkness of her hood. If only he could see her features better. Maybe he'd know then.

"That's for me to know," Serenity began, making a small shadowy orb appear in the palm of her hands, "and for you...to find out." She flung the orb to her feet and let it swirl around her and her friends as a vision appeared in her brain. She saw the Man in Green. She saw him with her friends. She saw him with a dark light.

She smirked. "I have a feeling we'll be meeting each other very soon...Luigi." And with that, she was gone. She and her friends.

"What?" Luigi spoke with surprise. "She knows me, too! No villain has ever known my name!"

"Dang it, they got away!" Mario yelled, sighing as he took off his hat, combed his hand with his hair, and placed the hat back on his head. "Who even was that?!"

"I don't know," Luigi said, thinking about it for a moment. "I think it's safe to say that she has shadow abilities."

"Yeah," Mario added on. "Almost like..." He stopped, shaking his head of the thought. "Nah! It can't be. Come on. Let's get home. I'm tired." With that, Mario started walking home, leaving a bewildered Luigi behind.

He stood there, wondering what this girl meant by they'd be meeting each other soon. Was she planning an attack on the Mushroom Kingdom? Or was she just saying that they'd meet on the streets of town without realizing it? It puzzled him.

Though, he pushed it aside and headed home with his brother, waiting to see if these monsters would return...or if what the girl said came true.
