~No one's PoV~

-Mushroom Kingdom-

As Cuphead jumped into that portal, he was sent into another dimension. Hopefully the same one his brother was in.

The boy was currently falling from the sky. It passed about five minutes and he was worried where he would land.

Eventually he ended into the fountain of the plaza, scaring the people that were walking by with a big splash.

As he got up, Cuphead quickly started searching for his little brother in the nearby forest.

"Mugman? Mugmaaan? Where are yoou? Mugmaaaan?"

The boy searched for about an hour or so, but without luck.

Unfortunately for Cuphead, his brother was heading in the castle in the plaza near the fountain where he landed previously.

-Meanwhile with Mugman-

"Are you both ready to go to the princess' birthday?" Mario asked with a smile.

"Yeah, brother, I'm ready"

"I'm ready too"

"Then, let's a go!"

Soon, the three were heading into the castle where there were the princess and various toads (the Mushroom Kingdom's people is called that) that greeted the group.

However the blue mug was hiding behind the plumbers.

"Welcome Mario! Welcome Luigi!"

"Princess, there is someone we'd like to introduce you" Mario started.

Then the princess looked behind Mario and Luigi and noticed the boy.

"Oh! Who might you be, little one? Let me introduce myself first, I'm Peach, nice to meet you" Peach smiled warmly at the blue mug.

"I'm Mugman, nice to meet you too, miss" he said as he bowed down.

"How polite to be a kid of your age. You can simply call me Peach"

"Oh, and happy birthday" the boy smiled at the princess.

"Thanks! Now, why don't you guys go to sit on the table? I reserved a special place for you, I'll also add a seat for you, boy, since I didn't expect you to come"

Soon after all the guests went sitting, and after a good lunch, it was time for the cake.

It was a big white cake with strawberries all around, that were decorating it and of course some candles.

As soon as the red plumber was about to slice the cake, a loud explosion could be heard.

The explosion scared all the guests, except for Mario, Luigi and Peach that kinda guessed what was going on.

A huge robotic hand destroyed the red roof of the castle, and entered the room where the trio and the princess were.

Suddenly the hand formed a fist and slammed against the plumbers, then it kidnapped the princess and an evil laugh could be heard. This laugh of pure evil scared the blue mug as he stepped back in fear.

"W-What's g-going on...?" The boy thought.

"Bwahaha! Mario, green 'stache and... a mug...? Whatever! I kidnapped your beloved princess, Mario! You won't get her back this time!" A big creature, seeming a mixture of a dragon and a turtle said, getting outside of his airship.

"Mario!" The princess yelled.

"Bwahaha! Come and rescue her if you can!" As the giant turtle entered the airship, he left with the princess.

"Come to my castle, Mario, there will be a surprise for you! Bwahaha!" The half dragon thought.

"Luigi, Mugman, are you two alright?" Mario said as he got up.

"Yeah, I'm okay"

"I-I'm fine but... w-who was that giant evil turtle?"

"That was Bowser, he constantly kidnaps the princess when he gets the occasion" Luigi explained, sighing.

"Oh..."

"We have to go rescue her!" The red plumber said determined.

"I think that's a priority. I'm coming with you"

"Alright, let's a go to Bowser's castle!"

Soon after their talk, the trio rushed towards the castle of the evil turtle.

It took them about half an hour running, but as they arrived, the giant green doors of the castle opened and the three entered the castle.

-Meanwhile with Cuphead-

Cuphead was currently walking nonstop to find his beloved little brother. He was even hungry but luckily he brought with him something to eat.

Soon after he was done eating, he noticed a gray castle with green, spiked roofing in the distance, and a big airship entering the castle from above.

"I might check in that castle, even if, knowing my little brother, he won't enter such a scary place... but my senses are telling me to go there" the red cup thought.

"Alright let's go check" Cuphead told himself.

Then he started walking again towards the castle, where, he will probably meet his brother again.
