Theme Song:
To change the world!
And by myself I need to believe in what I can achieve!
And that belief has always been forever in me
This world's getting worst to my dismay~
and I simply look the other way~
No longer!
I falter no longer!
I worry no longer!
I tremble no longer!
Cause now I must choose
you gave me the courage to stand and take action
(you gave me hope I will never lose!)
One time my soul was as dark as the night
but you enter my soul with your light!
I see the sun, my heart knows no limits
Today I shall fight for the new
(I'll open up my windows to see the sky so blue~)
To change the world!
And I need to believe in what I can achieve!
And that belief will always be important to me!
~Corona Mountain~
The guards tossed Lee in a jail cell slamming the door behind her. She reached for her strap for her bow, but it was gone.
(Oh no they took my weapons!) she grasped pulling out her phone only to notice there was a huge crack and it would not turn on.
"And my phone is broken." she groaned in anger. The hyrulean princess took a minute to compose herself as she shuffled through her bag
. She had some arrows left, elixirs, first aid kit, a dagger, and a few other things.
"My dear Princess Peach, you have no idea how happy I am to see you-what the? This isn't Peach!" Bowser yelled, taking a step back in shock looking at an unimpressed girl.
The Koopa King glared at his minions who were comically shaking like leaves.
"Forgive my lord it was I mean-we thought it was her it was just a simple mistake." a shy guy stammered.
"I thought it was the princess." a goomba whispered to a yellow goomba
"Yeah me too. They both have the same hair color." the yellow goomba replied.
Bowser stomped over and kicked them out of the door in a comical anger "SHE OBVIOUSLY DOESN'T LOOK LIKE PRINCESS PEACH! DIFFERENT CLOTHES, DIFFERENT FACIAL STRUCTURES, DIFFERENT EYES AND MORE! HOW COULD YOU IMBELCIALS THINK THAT THEY ARE THE SAME?!" he yelled out the door and continue to rant about how beautiful the mushroom princess is and how stupid his minions are.
Kamek and Lee had a deadpan look on their faces as the koopa king gushed over his crush.
(This is so sad he's got a huge obsession over her and she hates his guts.) she sweatdropped, "This is sad."
"Yes it is, but nobody will be able to change his mind-wait a minute. L-Lord Bowser we have a victory after all. We have one of the princesses of Hyrule! This girl is the leading authority on ancient technology!" Kamek called over to his king.
"Huh? King Rhoam's girl?" Bowers turned to the jail cell where the girl was imprisoned. He stared at her for a minute.
"Yes YourRuthfulness. She's a leading researcher on ancient relics like the guardians and the divine beasts! Lord Bowser, We can use that to create our own ultimate army!" Kamek explained gleefully.
When a light bulb lit up over his head.
A huge grin came over his face as he did a little dance. "This is perfect! We'll have an army of guardians, and then I will completely take over the Mushroom Kingdom?" Bowser laughed.
BOOM! KABLAM!
"What was that?" Iggy asked his family, there was a brief silence between them before turning to the now destroyed jail with confused looks. They ran to the prisoner where the two guards that were watching the hostage were now unconscious on the ground. Kamek turned to the only conscious guard what happened and the guard pointed to the now destroyed cage.
Now a free Lee standing two feet away from her prison holding a bow and arrow with a bomb arrow lighted.
"No way I'll let goons like you take blackmail of my father or my kingdom!" she yelled, releasing the bomb arrow.
It exploded around them in a 5 feet perimeter once the explosions died down the guards near her were laying down on the ground critically injured.
Bowser's arms were slightly scorched as he lowered his arms glaring at the archer angrily. "You just made a horrible mistake, little lady. You shouldn't have just stayed in your cage quietly with your head down." he spat.
"Yeah, and you're talking to the wrong princess. I'm no damsel in distress. Far from it" she growled, getting in a fighting position.
Unbeknown to anyone including Lee, three small triangles soft glowed on her left hand before quickly disappearing like they were never there.
~Peach Beach~
Back on the Delfinos beach the kingdom's army was just getting up preparing for the upcoming battle. The three commanders and our heroes were huddled around a metal table looking at several detailed maps about the koopa army, corona mountain, and other military reports.
"If we're gonna take that volcano by storm an aerial assault would be the best choice. Bowser has set up a fortress on the mountain with cannons on each side. We can use our own bomber planes to take them out, allowing our men to cross safely."
Rosette proposed using a stick to point to the diagram of the mountain.
"But the bomber planes will be a massive target. Those cannons will fire at them if we want this plan to work will our jets be supported to protect them until the bombs are dropped." Crow added reading another report while Mario crossed his arms before taking a report:
Code Red Report
Date: May 19,xxxx
Time: 21:59
We finally arrived at our target location at 18:00 bc. Several arms tanks have been seen throughout the facility along with jet planes.
Hostage hasn't been seen yet...probably on a higher level on the volcano where the higher ups are located. Might have seen King Boo and his army are also here. [will need Professor E. Gadd's anti ghost goggles]
… There is an opening near floor 1 at the base of the Corona Mountain with very few guards.
Date: May 21,xxxx
Time: 01:00
We confirmed that King Boo is an alley of Bowser and we sent a few of our spies to the secret opening on floor 1 to secure it successfully.
Lately we saw Bowser leaving the mountain to talk to someone, but we don't know who. When we followed him he was talking to an unidentified figure [had to leave before we were discovered.]
...The hostage (Lee) was seen on the sixth floor of the mountain unharmed.
"So Lee is on the sixth floor and seems to be alright for now. We'll go through the secret opening on the mountain base to get her out of there." the red capped man said putting the report down. Navi then flew over to them, "Have you guys seen Link?" She asked
"Did he get kidnapped too?!" Crow exclaimed worried
"I highly doubt it, but where did he go? We haven't seen him." Luigi said
And just then Fi appeared before making the Crow and Rosette jumped back in shock. Ax didn't jump, but his eyes widened a bit.
"Fi! Do you know where Link is? He wasn't kidnapped was he?" Peach asked,
worried.
She already felt horrible that one of her friends was kidnapped because of her and she didn't want it to happen again.
The ancient spirit shook her head, "The Goddess' plan has been set in motion and has finally begun...the first crystal star has called out to Link and that's where he went." she said.
Luigi ran back into his tent and came back with the Book of Stars. His eyes scanned through the pages before stopping at the page of Corona Mountain.
"Well let's go, we have a mission to do." he said seriously. And in mere seconds the group packed up all their stuff and the soldiers got in their jet planes and tanks and made their way to Corona Mountain.
-Corona Mountain Floor 1: Summer Valley-
The base of the mountain was filled to the brink with roses, lilies, daisies, sunflowers, and many other different types of wildflowers. The gang looked around in wonder, amazed how something so beautiful can live near a dangerous volcano. "If we weren't in a hurry I would love to take some pictures," Daisy said gently examining a rose petal her eyes scanned the area with her eyes landing at a down man not far from them.
"Link!" she called running over with the others who were right behind him, he didn't seem hurt but he was obviously out of it
. Slowly he opened his eyes, shielding them from the bright light. "What happened? Where am I?" he asked
"At Summer Valley, the base of the mountain. You disappeared last night, what happened to you? We thought Bowser kidnapped you like he did was Lee." the brown haired princess said
"You weren't drinking again were you?" Navi asked unimpressed
with her arms crossed.
"What no! I don't really remember, I got up to get a drink, I saw a light and heard something and everything went black after. Next thing I know I'm surrounded by you guys. And what do you mean Lee's been kidnapped!" he explained, shaking his head clearing the fog in his head.
"Maybe it was the crystal star's doing. Fi did say that the hands of fate were turning or something like that." Mario said
"Yeah, but all of us saw that light and we woke up at the camp so why just Link?" Peach asked.
The swordsman slowly made it to his feet much to his friends' protests but he just ignored them.
"We can figure this all out later, for now , we need to stop Bowser and help Lee. Well she's a strong fighter, we still need to help her. As long as he's here everyone is in danger." he said, retrieving his fallen sword that was next to him. A group of koopas ran downward to them.
"It's Mario , stop him! We can't let him get to the canon!" a green koopa yelled to his comrades as they charged towards the group with a battle cry.
"Did they just say a cannon is Bowser trying to hit Delfino Plaza with a CANNON?!" Toad screamed horrified.
"That's right, it'll be operational in two hours, you have no chance of stopping it!" a goomba sneered jumping up and down.
"TWO HOURS?!"
"We need to get to the top, let's go." Peach ordered making a fist and charge at the incoming enemies.
"H-Hey Peach wait!" Mario called running after her with the rest of the group behind him.
The seven friends pushed past the koopas with ease heading up to the second floor, the mountain had six floors to it and they had a long way to go. Back on the highest peak Bowser looked over the cliff watching the upcoming battle between his army and the Mushroom Kingdom's army were going to clash in any minute.
"Lord Bowser emergency, we just saw Mario and his friends at Summer Valley. They're on their way here with the kingdom's army. What should we do, sire?" a koopa reported
"So he's here uh I knew he would come. How long until the cannon's operational?" Bowser asked
"Mega Cannon 0.5 will be operational in two hours Lord Bowser!" a scientist yelled from another cliffside.
"Alright Bowser Jr.! Koopalings! Head down the mountain and stop them. Don't let them near the mountain." he ordered.
"Yes sir Dad" his kids saluted grabbing their clown copters and flew down the mountain.
(Once the cannon is online and operational Delfino Plaza will be under my mercy and Peach will have no other choice but to surrender.) Bowser grinned evilly, this was by far his best plan yet it took six months in the making but now it was all worth it, the Mushroom Kingdom and Peach will finally be his and his alone.
-Corona Mountain Floor 2: Autumn Creek-
Autumn Creek was a small woods filled with red, orange, and yellow leaves with beautiful creeks running along with clear water; it brought a calm and serene atmosphere to it. More and more enemies came to confront them but were easily dealt with as they continued to make their way to the second floor, Autumn Creek.
"This is Autumn Creek." Toad pointed out he looked up and saw an incoming cannonball heading right at them, "Look out!" he yelled, pushing them out of the way of the explosion.
Larry Koopa and Lemmy Koopa flew in a circle above their heads laughing at them.
"Who are you?" Navi asked flying up to them
"Who are we? You must be new around here if you don't know who we are." Larry began
"But you'll know soon enough you wanna know why? Cause Larry and Lemmy are here and nobody's gonna get to the top!" Lemmy sang twirling around in his copter in a circle. Mario gritted his teeth charging up enough energy leaping into the air.
"Get out of our way!" he yelled, cocking back his fist, Lemmy created a shield around him deflecting Mario's attack. A cannonball shot out of the copter hitting the plumber's stomach as he crashed to the ground.
"Maro!" Peach cried
"Take this haha!" Larry laughed, shooting another cannonball, quickly Toad pulled an ice flower and shot an ice arrow freezing it solid. Luigi had a fire flower and released a fire blast at the koopalings; the two retreated back coughing due to the smoke.
"You guys get going Luigi and I can take care of this." Toad said
"Wait shouldn't we take them on together though?" Navi asked worriedly
"There's no time! Get going, we'll be fine!" Luigi argued although he watched the other run ahead after telling them that they'll be okay he wasn't sure about that and neither was Toad. They were terrified and they weren't that strong or not very brave either, but they were lives on the line and knowing that helped them swallow their fear. The koopalings jumped out of their clown copters and took out their wands preparing for the fight.
"Lightning Attack!" Lemmy yelled casting a spell where a lightning bolt spot formed his wand at them. Luigi and Toad dodged the attack as the lightning made a crack in the ground.
"Rock Crusher!" Larry yelled as a large rock levitated up from the ground and was thrown at them.
"Ahh!" the boys cried falling at the ledge, a loud pop was heard in the green plumber's left arms
(That didn't sound good.) he groaned
"Are you ok Luigi?" Toad asked helping him up
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry," he said clutching his now broken arm as Larry and Lemmy moved closer ready to cast another spell, "You won't be fine when we're done with you haha!" Lemmy laughed as a lightning bolt formed from his wand.
-Corona Mountain Floor 3: Leafy Plains-
Morton Koopa was enjoying the peaceful view around him as the trees swayed gently in the wind. The animals living there were mainly hiding in their homes not used to these many visitors at their home, but a few peaked their heads out in curiosity. It was so nice and quiet he ended up falling asleep listening to the birds crip around him, unlike the rest of his siblings he was a more of a quiet guy who enjoyed nature.
Yes, he was loyal to his father, but he didn't really understand his dad's infatuation with Princess Peach. She wasn't their mom and she definitely didn' feel the same way about him so all of this didn't really make any sense to him, but what did he know? Maybe there was something about Peach or something.
"You guys are here too! There's a huge cannon at the top it'll gonna launch in two hours!" Lee said, running down to them from the other side.
" Yeah we know we gotta stop Bowser right now. We've already sent word to the Mushroom King." Navi replied.
Morton opened his eyes at the sound of footsteps coming this way and saw our heroes who stopped and looked at him.
"Don't get in our way Morton." Daisy warned balling her fists
"..." Morton just blinked twice slowly before laying his head back down resuming his nap.
"I don't think he'll bother us." Lee said walking over to them from the other side of the woods
"Hey are you alright?" Link asked
"Yeah, I'm fine, but let's get moving. The fourth floor isn't far." she said pointing to the next entrance. Peach looked over the ledge watching the fight deep in thought.
"What's that noise?" Morton asked, waking up again. They turned their direction to the sky where two large air fleets flying overhead of the volcano and with hundreds of jets following behind them with Crew, Rosette, and Ax radioing each other:
Crow: Ax do you copy? Rosette do you copy?
Ax: Radio's loud and clear.
Rosette: This is the Queen of Command speaking. Bow to your ruler!
Crow: Are you serious right now? We're in the middle of a war and you're goofing around!
Rosette: Geez lighten man man, this is why you don't have a girlfriend.
Ax: Focus you two, the enemy's approaching
Crow: Mushroom Ariel Fleet this is your general commander enemy fighters are approaching fire at will! Guard Squad protect the bombers and Guard Squad 2 back me up!
After those commands, you could see nothing but green and orange lasers blasting each other from both of the aerial fleets and at the base on the v, and at the base on the volcano, the Koopa Troop, and the Toad Army were in the midst of battling each other. Back at the Leafy Plains Morton, Peach, Mario, Link, Daisy, and Navi watched the battle. Peach backed away walking back towards where she previously came.
"Where you're going, Princess?" Navi called.
She didn't respond at first, her people needed her.
She needed to help her army fight, most probably wouldn't agree, but she was sick and tired of being weak
She was the princess and she will fight to save her kingdom. In order to give them the advantage they needed to immobilize the Koopa Troop. "Where are you going Peach?" Daisy called
"We need to immobilize the Koopa Troop and I'm going to help the Toad Army. I'm Go ahead and I'll have someone send a jet plane to get you to the top. It's time to pull my own weight." Peach said with a smile.
She pulled out her pink pastoral and jumped off the ledge and floated down to the base. Her feet landed on the ground in front of her army like a barrier between the two armies with a determined look on her face.
"We will protect our kingdom from these tyrants. We are the first and last line of defense and we will win!" Peach ordered raising her fist
"YEEEEEEAAAAHHH!" the army yelled with racing lines accenting their cry rushing over at the enemy. They will fight to the death for their kingdom and for their freedom. Back at the Leafy Plains Mario and the others ran up the mountain to determine to end this war, they were gonna stop Bowser's cannon before time ran out.
