(Location: Main Cruise Ship, Isolated Prison Cell)
Zelda
Zelda: (Uhh..what in Nayru happen? My head hurts... what the? Were am I and why am I held here?)
*Zelda looks down only to see that her hands are bounded to a metal desk with rope, smiling*
Zelda: (It going to take a lot more than a little bit of rope to capture me.)
*Being very quite and smooth she burns the rope with her use of Din's Fire, releasing her from her bound she then move to the only available exit a lone door.*
Zelda: (This is too easy for me to escape... maybe they don't know I control such strong magic?)
*Zelda proceeds to open the door that is surprisingly unlock. She walks out three feet and looks around and sighs.*
Zelda: (You expect security here if you know if I am being taken hostage. Hmm, I'll show that oversized turtle who he is dealing with, but first I need to get my bearings. Hmm...stairs going up. Well thats what I need... Hopefully this is not a trap because now I have that feeling now that this is a trap mostly because there's no security here...)
*Zelda proceeds to move up the stair's to what appears to be a nice open room in pitch black darkness*
?: "Bwauhahahhah! Welcome to my LIAR!"
Zelda: "Huh?! Show yourself!"
*Zelda reaches for dins fire which light up a small part of that room, waving it around, showing a site of fercness.*
?: "You really don't need to use that candle light my dear."
*All of a sudden, the place lights up to reveal bowser with an army but next to them is about a hundred or so people in ragged in ripped and destroyed clothes of Haha! Hylian soldiers and guards by the look of it they are kneeling down."
Bowser: "Hehehe. If you try make a move, your friends are going to pay by taking a little trip to 'you know where.'"
Zelda: "No!... You monster! Release my people! They are not part of any bargain!"
Bowser: "Ha ha! Do I look like I care?! They are my slaves now! But trust me, I have plans for them, as well for you... princess of Hyrule."
*Zelda drops her eye and cancels her magic and shifts her eyes*
Zelda: "What the...? How did you know that, and what do you mean 'plans with me'?"
Bowser: "Ah, glad to see you're cooperating. Your little band of pretty soldiers told me about those affairs after a nice little 'talk' and you, my dear, will do as I say or I might take will take my rage on the poor defenseless slaves I have now. What a pity it would be for them to die. Doesn't exactly fit with the roles of a princess, does it? Oh yeah, and as for my plan, you should be interested in picking a wedding dress that suites you and me? Hehehe. Why don't you go tell my navigator now to set course for my main castle. Oh, just a reminder, try to escape and I'll be giving your toys a one way ticket to the afterlife, Cape-se?"
Zelda: "...Listen, P-please I beg of you. Please don't hurt them and please, for din's sake, call them hylians, not slave's."
Bowser: "Hmm...you sure like the word 'please'...very well. As you wish. Don't want to upset my future bride, do I? I'll keep them alive as long as you obey my orders got it?"
Zelda: "... I understand."
Bowser:" Bwahahaha! Fantastic! And from this point on, refer to me as 'Lord Bowser'! Makes me seem for commanding and fierce!"
*Zelda looks at her imprisoned people mournfully.*
Zelda: (Link if you're alive get, my people to safety.) "Yes, l-lord Bowser."
( Location: Mushroom Kingdom Castle, Throne Room)
Peach
Toadsworth: "My princess. Are you feeling quite well? Your troublesome face worries me."
Peach: "...Oh, it's nothing, Toadsworth. It's just...I've been feeling a bit worried lately."
Toadsworth: "Worried? About what? Shall I prepare the royal guards?!"
Peach: "No! It's not anything life threatening!"
Toadsworth: "No? Then what is it?"
Peach: "...Well. Bowsers latest assault was over a week ago, and we haven't any reports about him or the koppa army at all. I'm worried as to believe that he may be preparing another assault."
Toadsworth: "Ah, I see. I would've come to the same conclusion as well. Don't worry, my princess. I've had the guards hard at work to make the castle secure as a clogged pipe!"
Peach: "Oh, Toadsworth. Please don't push the toads too hard, okay? They all deserve to be treated equal."
Toadsworth: "Of course. Besides, even if our defenses are broken, Masters Mario and Luigi will come to save the day, like always!"
Peach: "...Y-you're right. Yes! I must remain confident for my people! Thank you for your words of encouragement, Toadsworth!"
Toadsworth: "Hoho! I'm not worthy of your kind words, my princess."
*The throne rooms doors burst in, all to quickly. A royal toad guard runs into the rooms, stopping right in front of Peach's throne.*
Toad: "M-M-My princess!..."
Peach: "Oh my! Please, catch you breath! What's happened?!"
Toad: "We...we've *HUFF* caught someone in the royal garden. Based off of his description, he appears to be one of bowsers agents. We're bringing him in now."
Peach : (Bowsers agent?! OH, I knew something like this would happen eventually!)
*Sounds of marching arise as several Toad Royal Guards enter, surrounding a lone green Koppa-Troppa who looks quite frightening as they stop right in front of Peachs throne.*
Peach: "Umm...excuse me? What is your purpose here?"
K-T: "I...well...I come upon Lord Bowsers request to deliver a message to you. *Pulls out paper* If you would be so kind..."
*One of the Royal Guards takes the paper and gives it to Toadsworth, who then gives to Peach, and begins to read it out loud.*
Peach :" 'My dear princess. I bring my servant to you with this letter as a chance to confess my understanding of my unreasonable actions. Ever since I can recall, my plots to kidnap you and make you my bride have be foiled many times, and ever time I came to wonder how everything I try to do ends in failure. I now understand the rudeness of my actions, and wish to come at you with a surrendering hand. I herby surrender any further attempts of conquest on your kingdom, for I have found something far more special, and wish to tell you in person. Come to my castle when the sun sets, where we shall make a peace treaty. You're allowed to bring as many guards as you wish, even your precious Mario brothers. By the ever evil Koppa King Bowser.' "
*Silence befell the room as Peach continues to stare at the letter. Toadsworth breaks the silence.*
Toadsworth: "A...a peace treaty? Outrageous! It's most obviously a trap!"
Peach: "Yes...that would be the case, but that were it, why would he allow us to bring 'as many guards as you wish'? Even Mario and Luigi are allowed."
Toadsworth: "Well, that may be true, my princess, but..."
Peach: (...If this letter is true, then this may be the only chance to finally create true peace for the Mushroom Kingdom. As princess, I must do what ever it takes to do just that!)
"...Please ready the Rainbow Curser. We shall be setting course for Bowsers Castle shortly."
Toadsworth: "My princess! Is that the best course of-"
Peach: "Please Toadsworth! And send a message to the Mario Brothers to arrive here before we leave!"
Toadsworth: "My princess...
...very well. As you wish. *Turns to guards* Have all guards prepare to leave, have the Rainbow curser fueled and ready, and get me in contact with Masters Mario and Luigi at once!"
(Location: Unknown. Time: Midday)
Link
Link: (This place. It's so muddy, yet familiar...Hyrule?...Ganodorf!?)
*Link Opens his eyes, as he spits out water*
Link:"ehhh" (What the...? Where am I..? That dream again.. aghh. This not time to remincen I need to know were am I...Zelda... please hold on for me. By the look of it is a beach yet the question is what beach.)
*Link Walks to towards what looks like to be House He encounter a mushroom headed man*
Toad: "Ahh You're awake. How are you feeling?
Link: "Uhh, I've been better. How long was I out."
Toad: "Well you just washed up on the beach green swordsman, I was going to call for help, but you look fine now."
Link:"I See. If I may, where am I?"
Toad: you are at Toad town Beach fifty miles from the famous Mushroom kingdom!"
*Toad gesture north were you can see a faint outline of a tower Link Nods and says*
Link:" Thank you. I need to that castle immediately."
*Toad looks surprised*
Toad: " But sir, you're in no shape to go anywhere."
Link:"Hehe. Trust me. I've been through worst beating in my journey before."
*Link after Giving a small cough to get any remanning salt water out of him starts a long jog, as the confused Toad yells*
Toad:" Hey! If I may ask, what business do you have in the Mushroom Kingdom?!"
Link:(I'm sorry but I need to go speak with someone in the mushroom kingdom who can answer my questions. Who is this Bowser king of Koopas...Zelda...)
*Things get dark after Link starts running for five minutes, The City of toads town starts to spin as Link slows to a halt and falls to one knee*
Link: (Ahgg...no. I have to continue. I can't stop now.)
*Link Looks down to see that there was a sizable gash on his stomach area dripping out blood slowly.*
Link: (Maybe that toad was right. I'm In no condition to do this right now. I need to find some first aid. I...)
*Link falls down only to see a pink Toad converging on him surrounded by two other toads, which surprisingly manage to pick him up. Link takes one last look at the castle which couldn't be ten or less miles away from him now before everything fades to darkness again.*
