Chapter 2:
The Beginning
...
In the beginning, the Mushroom Kingdom had always been known as a peaceful kingdom. That peace, however, was one day broken when a monstrous Koopa king named Bowser invade their land. Using his magic, he transformed the Mushroom people into blocks and other items before kidnapping their beloved ruler - Princess Peach Toadstool - who was the only one capable of returning her people back to normal just by the use of her beautiful voice.
The purpose of the Koopa King's action was to rule over the Mushroom Kingdom in addition to his own and get revenge on all those who treated his Koopa people ever so poorly. He later fell in love the kingdom's fair princess and decided to make her his bride as well.
At the kingdom's greatest time of need, two unlikely plumber heroes set out on the dangerous journey and saved the princess from the Koopa King. Their names were Mario and Luigi. Together, they became known as the Mario Brothers.
The Mario brothers were twins and they had become the Mushroom Kingdom's protectors. Since their first rescue, they have saved the princess, the Kingdom, and sometimes even the world numerous times from the Koopa King and other threats of evil like him. But as great heroes the brothers may be, only one of the two was very well-known.
The oldest brother, Mario, he was the kingdom's number one hero and sworn protector. He was known for being brave, courageous, and strong. Many people idolize him and honor him for his heroism that they title him, Super Mario.
The younger brother, Luigi, he was also a hero but he was not so known around the kingdom. Unlike his brother, he was known for being quite timid and a coward at the first sign of danger. This causes his popularity to lessen to the point where people could barely remember his name and earn him the title of the Green Wonder. But despite his flaws, he was just as great of a hero as his brother, even coming to his rescue when he was captured by the King of Boos.
For many years, the brothers protected and serve the kingdom all in the hopes that its peace may be restored one day. But unbeknownst to them, true peace can only be restored by one of the two.

Like every attack made by the Koopa King Bowser, the inhabitants of Toad Town - Mushroom Kingdom's capital and the doorstep to the royal Mushroom Castle - would simply repair any damages made and return back to their peaceful ways as if nothing had happened. But lately it has been different and it wasn't one-sided either.
Attacks coming from Bowser and his army had doubled recently, and it was getting pretty tiresome...at least more so than it originally been. Normally, the Koopa King would attack at least once a month. Now he was attacked twice, sometimes even three times a month. The reason for this sudden change was the marriage between Super Mario and Princess Peach Toadstool.
It's been one year since the great hero and fair ruler had tied the knot and the Mushroom Kingdom never felt so safe nor so powerful. Everyone was overjoyed when the two announced their engagement and were thrilled when the marriage was made official.
But not everyone was happy about it. Bowser, who was supposedly in love with the princess, grew furious and had double his attempt. Even now that she was married, he still tried to make her his wife and that was what's making this whole thing so tiresome.
With almost an entire year worth of marriage under their belt, the royal couple were hoping for some change and finally some peace. But since their reunion wasn't enough, they decided to take a different approach.

The sun was shining and casting its rays of light over the peaceful settlement called Toad Town. North from the town laid a castle. This castle was the home of the Mushroom Kingdom rulers, King Mario and Queen Peach.
Inside the castle, the king himself was pacing around as his Queen sat on her throne. Today was the day they have been waiting for. The day they were finally going to put an end to this long-lasting battle between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Koopa Klan.
"Mario, please settle down, you're going to make a hole in the carpet."
The red King sighed and turned to his wife on the throne. "Sorry, Peach, I guess I'm just a bit anxious."
Peach smiled. "I understand. After all, it's not every day you have to invite your worst enemy over to speak of peace between our two lands."
"Right," He walked over and sat next to her on his throne. "I just hope he doesn't try something. You know Bowser, he always has something up his sleeves."
"I'm sure everything will turn out fine." Peach assured him. "One way or another, Bowser will stop attacking the Kingdom. And once that over, we can finally focus on raising a family."
Mario smiled at that idea and took her hand. For a while now, the two had considered about having children. But with the constant attacks caused by the Koopa king, they thought it would be too dangerous to try for one. They wanted to raise their family at a time of peace, not war.
The door opened. The royal couple turned their heads to see their most loyal servant rushing towards them with news to bring them.
"Your Majesties," said Toad. "The Koopa King has arrived."
Mario tightened his hold on his wife's hand, silently promising her he won't let her go. Peach responded by placing her other hand on top of his as if knowing he will always be there for her. With a deep sigh, Mario stood up from his throne with his wife by this side and started heading outside the throne room.
"Let's get this started then,"

Bowser Koopa; King of the Koopas and the ruler of the Darklands...
For years, he had been trying to capture the Mushroom Kingdom's princess and make her as well as her kingdom his to own. Now, he was in her castle – not to fight, but to make peace with her and her new husband.
He sneered at the thought of her husband – or whom he knew as his most hated enemy. That blasted red plumber was always there to step in and ruin his plans. Now he has taken his princess and her kingdom.
He hated the plumber for that. Just the mere thought of making peace with him made him want to upchuck his lunch. Regardless he came to the castle anyway, because he was willing to compromise, as surprising as it may seem. He may never get the princess or her kingdom for that matter. But in exchange for peace, he could always ask for something else.

Ending Note:
This story is turning out to be harder than I first thought. Because of that and school, updates will be far apart from each other. However, once I finish my other story, The Tale of Two Brothers, new chapters will appear a bit sooner.
