It was a dark, and pretty stormy day, although it wasn't raining. Anyway's, a mysterious figure walked into a store that was on the far outskirts of Equestria. "Hello! What can I do for you?" Asked the shopkeeper as the figure looked around. The figure then saw a amulet that had a unicorn on it with a red diamond inside. It also had wings spreading out from the sides, and was silver. The figure then pointed at the amulet, and the shopkeeper shook his head. "I'm afraid that's a bit out of your price range." The figure then threw a bag that had possibly millions of bits in there onto the counter. The shopkeeper saw them and asked "Would you like that gift-wrapped?" The figures eyes then started to glow as they got a huge grin on their face.
"Gee, what's up with this weather? It was sunny a few minutes ago." Said Mario as our heroes were out, trying to enjoy their day. "Well, the weather does change Mario. Most of the time at random. Nopony can predict perfect weather." Said Twilight. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Said Mario. Then as our heroes were walking through, they heard a familiar voice. "Twilight Sparkle!" Someone said into a megaphone. When everyone turned around to see who it was, they were all shocked. "Trixie?!" Said Twilight as she ran up to her. "That's right! Trixie is back to get revenge on YOU for humiliating me with that cheap Ursa Minor trick." When they heard that, they started to laugh at her. "Wait, you want a rematch?" Asked Mario as he let out a few more chuckles. "Apparently you don't remember what happened last time. If I remember correctly, you tried to show off like you were so awesome, then you got shown up by Twilight, then dumb and dumber, went and somehow got a Ursa Minor which you were powerless to stop, so Twilight had to go and save the town from being trampled on by a constellation with a bad attitude. Then you ran like a coward, never to be seen again." Said Mario as Snips and Snails both said "Hey!" When Mario called them dumb and dumber.
"Ok, maybe that did happen, but this time I came prepared. Come my pet, and take care of the annoying plumber that stands in front of you!" Said Trixie as lightning struck at that same moment. Possibly on coincidence, or accident. Our heroes then looked around for a few seconds for this "pet" that was supposedly summoned by Trixie. When it didn't show up, Mario then said "Uh, what pet?" Then his question was answered when the ground started to rumble, and out of the ground came a giant white hand that Mario knew. "Master Hand?!" Said Mario as everyone started to back up. Trixie then let out a laugh as she said, "Go get him!" And pointed at Mario. The hand then saluted as it sped towards Mario, who back flipped out of the way.
Master Hand then ended up crashing into a wall after Mario dodged him. He then started to laugh at Master Hand, who was now trying to slam Mario into the ground. And surprisingly, he succeeded. Mario was now as flat as paper, and Master Hand swept him away like he was a piece of trash. Pinkie saw this and ran over to the now 2D Mario, and yelled out "CPR!" Then she took a overly exaggerated deep breath as Mario said "No, no, Pinkie, I'm-" Then never got to finish his sentence because Pinkie had locked lips with him already, and started to blow air into his body, turning him from 2D, back to 3D like a pop-up book.
When Mario was back to normal, he realized that Pinkie was still blowing air into his body, and looked like she had no intention of stopping. Mario then gently pryed himself away from her as he then gave her a strange look. Mario then got up as he said "Thanks." Then jumped off to go take on Master Hand again.
Afterwards, Twilight gave Pinkie a very dirty look before going to Trixie and saying, " Why are you here Trixie, and why are you harassing Mario?" "I already told you Twilight, I want revenge!" After she said that, Master Hand crashed next to her, lying on the back of his hand. Mario then got on top of Master Hand's palm, and started to punch it for a little bit before Master Hand grabbed Mario like a trap, started to squeeze him, then grabbed Mario by the back of his overalls, and threw him into the air, flicking him across town when he came down.
"For what?" Asked Twilight. "What did I ever do to you?" "Oh, I'll tell you." Said Trixie retaliating. "After you showed me up with that stupid Ursa Minor trick, I became the laughing stock of Equestria. Everywhere I went, everypony laughed at me. I couldn't even get a job because when I went to apply for one, they all laughed at me for getting shown up by somepony like you! It eventually got so bad that I had to take a job at a rock farm, because they were the only ones that would hire me! A rock farm!" Pinkie then retaliated to Trixie. "You better be glad that a rock farm would accept you, because if they didn't, then-" Trixie then started to get very annoyed by Pinkie rambling on, so her eyes started to light up as like the internet, a mouse appeared in front of Pinkie's mouth, then grabbed it, and put it in the Recycle Bin. Pinkie's mouth had completely disappeared, and it looked like something staraight out of a horror movie. "Stop it Trixie! Put her mouth her mouth back!" Yelled out Twilight as everyone basically freaked out. "Not unless you can beat me in a Magic Duel!" Said Trixie as she sat down on a chair brought by dumb and dumber- I mean Snips and Snails.
"What!? No way. I'm not doing it!" Said Twilight in disgust. "Well then, I guess you can get used to not hearing your friend's voice anymore." Said Trixie, turning away. "Oh, thank Celestia!" Said Rarity. Everyone then looked at her with shocked expressions. Rarity then looked around, then realized what she just said. "I mean, 'Oh no! We need to get Pinkie's mouth back!'" "Not unless Twilight does the Magic Duel." "Go ahead Twilight! I know you can do it!" Said Spike trying to encourage her. "Yeah! You show her who's boss!" Said Rainbow Dash flying in close to her. Pinkie tried to encourage Twilight too, but only came out as "Mff! Mff, mff, mffmff!"(Yeah! You go, Twilight!)"So do we have an agreement?" Asked Trixie. Twilight then just looked at her, unsure of what to do.
Mario had landed on the side of a house as Master Hand had tried to punch Mario through. Mario then dodged the attack as he had rolled out of the way. Master Hand then shot laser beams out of his finger tips as he tried to slice Mario into little bits and pieces, but Mario had evaded the lasers and jumped into the air, hammer punching Master Hand to the ground. Mario then grabbed Master Hand's middle finger, and spun him around as fast as possible, then he launched him all the way to the town square, where Twilight and Trixie were having their duel. F.L.U.D.D. Then transformed into the Turbo Nozzle as Mario sped off towards town square.
"I will defeat you this time Twilight, because I have this!" Said Trixie as she opened up her cloak, and the showed everyone the amulet she wore around her neck. "Wait, is that the-" "Alicorn Amulet? Thanks so much for noticing." Said Trixie, cutting off Twilight. "Need I remind you that it's the most powerful amulet in the world? It's so powerful, it can turn mares and stallions into foals and colts." She then demonstrated by having Snips and Snails come up, and would have turned Snips into a crying colt and Snails into an old stallion, but Master Hand came by and inturrupted them.
Mario then arrived on the scene as everyone looked at the plumber and the giant hand have their little grudge match. "Had enough?" Taunted Mario as he walked up to Master Hand. Master Hand then got up as he balled his hand into a fist and slammed it on the ground in anger. Then he stuck out two fingers as he shot two golden bullets at Mario, but he burned them with a fireball. Master Hand then walked his fingers over to Mario and flicked him onto the side of a house. "Nobody cheap shots me like that and gets away with it!" Said Mario as he ran towards Master Hand.
Master Hand then acted like he was a rocket, and blasted off towards Mario, who was now charging his Fire Burst, and unleashed it as Master Hand got close enough. Mario then burned Master Hand, and sent him flying back to Trixie, who was in awe at the sight of Master Hand defeated.
When Master Hand landed at Trixie's hoofs, he was extremely tired, and could barely get up. Trixie then flew into a rage when she saw this. "Stupid piece of junk! I didn't need your help!" Then, electricity shot out of Trixie's horn as she started to shock Master Hand. Master Hand then let out a defeated cry, and was poofed away.
Mario then came back as he dusted his hands and said, "Sorry about all of that. Now please continue." Said Mario as he got into the crowd with his friends. He then noticed Pinkie's mouth being gone, and asked, "Hey Pinkie, what happened to your mouth?"
When Mario told Trixie to continue, she said "Can I?" Then went on with the demonstration. She then lifted Snips and Snails into the air, and spin them around as fast as possible, turning Snips into a crying colt, and Snails into a old stallion. "Time Spell. Beat that." Trixie as she stared at Twilight.
Twilight was then in shock. She knew a lot of spells, but none like that. "Well? We're waiting." Said Trixie as she stared at Twilight. "Go on, Twilight. Turn them back." Said Mario as everyone started to whisper to one another. "I can't." Said Twilight holding her head down in shame.
"Yes you can! You just have to believe in yourself!" Said Mario for encouragement, but it didn't work. "No, I mean I really can't. I never learned the spell." Trixie then started to laugh. "I guess this means I win by default. So long Twilight!" "Wait, what do you mean, 'So long?'" Said Mario as he walked over to Twilight. "Trixie and I made an agreement where if she won, I would leave Ponyville forever." Said Twilight as she started to walk away. "WHAT!? What kind of a deal is that?" "It's the one that Twikight agreed to. Now get out of here!" Said Trixie as she turned Snips and Snails back to normal.
Twilight then had tears in her eyes as she said "I'm sorry guys. I'm sorry Ponyville." Then, she ran off. Mario tried going after her, but Trixie had put up a barrier all over Ponyville, blocking him off from her. Mario tried attacking the barrier, but gave up when Trixie said "Don't bother. It's impenetrable." Mario then looked at Trixie angrily before turning back to the now fading Twilight. "Twilight..." Mario said to himself before being dragged away by Trixie.
Trixie then forced Ponyville into labor like they were slaves. The first thing she did as it's new "Ruler"(more like Dictator) was invade Twilight's house, and turn it into an indoor concentration camp. To cool off when she was hot, and because she thought that Mario could lose a few pounds, was first off, take away F.L.U.D.D. Then she used him as a portable water fountain. Then she put Mario on a treadmill which was apart of a contraption that would make a fan blow.
Then she made Pinkie dance around for her entertainment, made Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy hang up some posters about how awesome she was all over the house, made Applejack stomp on some apples and turn them into applejuice, wine style, and made Rarity make new clothes for her while Spike gave her a massage. Yeah. It sucked. But they couldn't do anything about it. So, eh.
After our heroes had gotten done doing their forced labor, Trixie sent them on a break, believe it or not, and from then, they started to devise a plan. "Okay, we need to figure out a way to get the Alicorn Amulet off of Trixie's neck." Said Spike as everyone started to surround him. "I say that we just go up to her and beat the snot out of her until it comes off!" Said Mario as he threw a few punches. "Yeah! Brute force all the way!" Said Rainbow Dash as she agreed with Mario. "I second that!" Said Applejack. Mario then smiled at the two.
"No! I'm not talking about beating her up! I mean, we need to find a way to not only get the amulet off of Trixie, but also to get Twilight back." Said Spike. "And just how do you propose we do that? One, Trixie won't even let us around her." Said Mario. "Oh yeah? Well how else did I give her that massage?" Said Spike raising an eyebrow and putting his hands on his hips. "No, I mean literally. She won't let us around her. She put up a barrier." Said Mario pointing at the now protected Trixie. "Oh. OK, well I guess that-wait! If there's a barrier around her, then that means that there must not be a barrier around Ponyville!" Said Spike as everyone ran to a window, then groaned when they saw that the barrier was still around Ponyville.
As they all started to walk away, Spike noticed a tree that was cut to it's stump, and in the stump was a swirl. A squirrel then landed on the stump, and it uncoiled as it took the squirrel to a similar stump that was outside of Ponyville. Then it ran away. Spike then ran over to tell everybody about the stump. "Gee, that's very interesting, Spike, but how is that going to help us in any way?" Asked Mario. "Because it just gave me some inspiration for an idea." Said Spike as he put his hand on his chin. Then he motioned for everyone to gather around.
"Alright. Somepony, I don't know who yet, will dress up as an animal, then they can use the stump that I told you about to go find Twilight, she comes back, has another rematch with Trixie, she wins, we get the Alicorn Amulet, and Trixie leaves." "Mm-hmm..." Said everyone as they agreed with the plan. "That is a good plan, but where are we gonna get an animal costume?" Said Applejack. "And how are we going to find Twilight?" Asked Mario afraid that the plan wouldn't work. "Well, what place besides other cities and places in the world is right next to Ponyville that Twilight could have gone?" Said Spike as he looked around.
Our heroes then thought about it for a few seconds before saying "The Everfree forest!" Then Trixie mumbled to herself as she drifted off to sleep. Then everyone decided that it would be a great idea for them to whisper.
"Well we figured out the Twilight situation, but how are we going to get an animal suit?" Asked Rarity. Just then, a leaf that had a hole on it's left side, and had a racoon pattern on it flew in, and passed everyone's faces. It then flew by Mario, who grabbed it and studied it before realizing that it was the Tanooki leaf. "Actually, I know how." Said Mario.
After Mario put on the Tanooki Suit, Rainbow Dash couldn't help but snicker. "Mario, no offense or anything, but you look like a dork." She said, trying to keep her snickers to herself. "Maybe, but it's the only way that I'll be able to get out of here and find Twilight. Remember, if Trixie wakes up before I come back, stall her as long as possible. Got it?" "Got it!" Said everyone as Mario then said, "I'll bring her back. Don't worry." Mario then flipped out of the windowsill as he glided over to the treestump that Spike told him about, and dove in headfirst into a tunnel that was made out of roots and dirt. Then, he ran all the way to the end as he was fueled by determination. He had to get Twilight back, no matter what.
When Mario reached the end, he jumped out of the stump and hopped in a tree like a ninja, and started hopping tree to tree, trying to find Twilight. After a few minutes of searching, Mario heard the sounds of someone weeping, and as he got closer, it got louder.
When Mario landed, he decided to try and sneak up on the figure who was crying. And to his surprise, it was Twilight. "Twilight?" Mario said to himself as he walked up to her. When he saw her, his emotion was happiness, but then quickly turned to sadness As he got closer to her.
She looked like a wreck. Most of her strands of hair were in coils, she was covered in dirt, and she looked like a tornado had ripped through her body. "Twilight? It's-a me, Mario!" Said Mario as he got closer to her. Twilight then stopped stopped crying and peeked over at Mario. "Mario? Go away! You probably came here to scold me." Said Twilight as she went back to crying. "No, I came back for you. You have to have a rematch with Trixie. She's turned Ponyville into a death camp. She's been working us like dogs, and she won't even let us get out. She cut off Ponyville from civilization. And the worst part is, she took over the treehouse."
When Twilight heard that, she was angry at first, but then quickly went back to being sad. "I don't care. She can have whatever she wants, I'm not going back there." "And why not?" Asked Mario as he got closer to her. "You can do it, Twilight! I know you can. All you have to do is believe in yourself-" "I already tried that, Mario! And it didn't work. I can't do it. I can't do it for Ponyville, and I can't do it for my friends." Then, Twilight went back to sobbing.
Mario then felt really bad for her, and he wanted to help her in anyway that he could. "Well, if you can't do it for Ponyville, or for your friends, then at least do it for me." Said Mario as he knelt down right next to her. Twilight looked at Mario, then quietly said "Okay. But how are we going to beat that time spell?" Asked Twilight as Mario picked her up. "Easy. We're going to do one of our own!" Mario then jumped into a tree as he talked. "First, we need to go see Zecora, then we'll pay Princess Celestia a visit." Said Mario as they landed in front of Zecora's house.
As they walked in, Zecora was sleeping, and they looked at each other, then shared a look that said "Let's be quiet." Then, they tiptoed inside as they looked around. Then Twilight saw one of Zecora's doorstopers, and took it. Then they left to go see Pricess Celestia.
"Cant you two go any faster?" Said Trixie as Snips and Snails were pulling her in a carrige that was heavy. VERY heavy. "We're pulling as fast as we can!" Said Snails as he and Snips struggled with pulling. "Well, pull faster!" Shouted Trixie. Then, she heard a voice. "Trixie!" Trixie then turned around to be shocked by what she saw. "No. Way. Twilight! What are you doing here? Last time I checked, you were banished." Said Trixie as Twilight walked up to her, and Mario scretly went back into Ponyville and took off the Tanooki Suit, telling everyone that Twilight was back.
"I was, but I came back so that I could have a rematch. Trixie, I challenge you to a Magic duel!" When eveyone who was listening heard that, all they could say was "Ooooooooooo!" Trixie then looked around like she was worried, but started to act all cool again when she said, "Why, so that I can embarass you again? Fine. You want a Magic Duel, you got one! Trixie then opened up the barrier as she and Twilight went to have a duel.
"Since I totally humiliated you last time, I'll let you go first this time." Said Trixie, taunting to Twilight. "Great. Gives me an excuse to show off the awesome power of this amulet given to me by my friend, Zecora. But, in order for me to show off it's powers, I'll need a volunteer. How about you, Mario?" Asked Twilight as everyone pushed him towards her.
"Now, if it's okay with you Mario, I'd like to preform a few experiments on you." When Mario heard that, he said "Experiments?" Then, he tried running away, but like most cartoons, Mario ended up staying in place, unable to get any traction with the ground whatsoever as Twilight talked.
"Yes. Experiments. For example, I can turn anypony I want into-" Twilight then hit Mario with a spell as dust started to kick up, then lifted Mario into the air, turning him into metal as she did so. Mario then flipped to the ground, and looked around as Twilight explained. "Solid metal!" Trixie then went up to Mario and punched him in the stomach, which didn't phase him at all.
"I can even turn them-" Twilight then hit Metal Mario with another spell and just like before, dust kicked up. But this time, when Mario came down, he was a baby. But when he landed, he did it on his butt, so when he hit the ground, it was pretty hard. Then he started to cry. "A little infant!"
As Baby Mario was crying, Applejack picked him up and rubbed his belly, causing him to laugh and giggle in delight. Everyone said this and said "Awww..." As the scene was heartwarming. Baby Mario then saw Applejack's mane, and was fascinated by it, so he started to tug and teeth on it, but Applejack didn't mind.
Twilight then moved on. "I can even turn them-" Twilight then hit Baby Mario with yet another spell and turned him as thin as paper. "Into paper!" Paper Mario then looked around as everyone just stared at him in awe. "So, since you can't come up with anything to try and counter with, it looks like I win. This really is a way more powerful amulet then the Alicorn Amulet." Said Twilight as she turned Mario back to normal.
Trixie then looked at the Alicorn Amulet, then up at the one that Twilight was wearing before throwing the Alicorn Amulet into the air and saying "You can have this!" And ran towards Twilight, trying to get the one she had on.
Mario and Rainbow Dash both saw the Alicorn Amulet go flying into the air, and they jumped into the air to try and catch the amulet, but they both ended up crashing into each other. Mario then landed on his back as surprisingly, Rainbow Dash landed on all fours and was on top of Mario. Mario then looked up to see Rainbow Dash blushing. "Oh. Hi, Mario. Fancy meeting you here." Mario then looked past her to see the Alicorn Amulet falling just above his head.
He then took off his cap and acted like it was a baseball glove, catching the Alicorn Amulet. Then he sat up as he said "I got it everybody!" Then he held up his cap for everyone to see, but ended up launching it like a catapult. "Or not." Said Mario as Twilight caught it just before it hit the ground.
Trixie then put on the amulet that Twilight had on and laughed evily. "Now you are all my slaves. Bow down to your new master!" Then she threw F.L.U.D.D. To Mario, who put him back on, and shot electricity out of her horn at Fluttershy, who started to laugh as it made contact.
Trixie was then surprised at this. "What? Why aren't you screaming in pain and bowing down to me?" "Because," said Twilight as she walked up to her. "It's not an actual amulet. It's one of Zecora's doorstoppers." When Trixie heard that, she became very outraged.
"Then how did you turn HIM into metal, and paper, and a little kid?" Asked Trixie as she pointed at Mario. "Because, we faked it." Said Mario leaning close to Trixie. "WHAT?!" "Yep, that's right. We faked it. You see, Pricess Celestia is searching through lots of dimensions to try and help me get home. And some of these dimensions that she was looking through, happened to have a paper version of me, and a baby version of me, which we used to fool you into thinking that Twilight actually turned me into paper and a baby again. Which by the way, great work guys!" Said Mario as Paper Mario picked up Baby Mario, and Princess Celestia teleported in, and teleported away, taking Baby and Paper Mario with her.
Trixie's jaw then dropped. "But, what about you being turned into metal?" Asked Trixie as she took off the doorstopper. Mario then reached into his overalls as he pulled out the Metal Cap. Then he spun it around his finger as he talked. "Metal Cap. Duh." Twilight then spoke up. "And since I won, you have to go now. Bye, Trixie!"
Trixie then let up the barrier as she got up on a rock. "You haven't seen the last of me, Twilight! I WILL return, and when I do, I will have my revenge. Especially on YOU, Mario." Mario then crossed his arms. "I'm shaking. Now get out of here!" Said Mario as he shot a fireball at her. Trixie then glared at Mario, then ran away as Twilight put Pinkie's mouth back.
"Well, I guess that's that." Said Mario as everyone walked away. "I'm hungry. Let's go get something to eat." Said Pinkie. "Yeah. I'd like that." Said Mario. But before they could think of where to go, they heard the sounds of somebody doing graffiti, and when they turned around, they saw Shadow Mario.(surprise surprise)
"Shadow Mario!" Said our heroes. Shadow Mario then turned around and glanced at our heroes before running off. "Oh come on! Of all the times!" Said Mario as everyone went after Shadow Mario. Mario then sprayed water at Shadow Mario, causing him to trip over a rock, then roll down a hill, and almost fall into the ocean, but he changed into his Shadow Balls and flew off. "Another day..." Thought Shadow Mario as our heroes watched him. Then they left to go get something to eat.
