" Hmm, so this is the problem you guys are having here right now?" A familiar female voice was heard from an area down below where Mario was, his body was covered in bandages as he slowly rose up from his bed, his body in severe pain.
" Mama mia, what in the world hit me?" Mario asked, his breath visible in the cold air before looking around, spotting Bowser, Sonic and Shadow trapped in their beds, covered in bandages. " How...did Bowsa fit into-a Mah House?" Mario looked upwards before noticing how high is ceiling was.
" Oh hey Mario, about time you woke up." A certain blonde woman was seen floating up to the bedroom part of the house, landing softly on the wood as small purple voids appeared and fluttered away as she walked to them.
" Yukari? What are you doing here?" Mario asked before looking at the woman he knew for a long time.
" Just a random little cameo appearance, don't mind me, i brought you all back here when i heard you all got beaten down. So what exactly happened?" Yukari asked while floating up onto one of her trademark gaps.
Mario begins to explain to Yukari what happened...
Mario's House ( Paper Mario)
"...I see, so a threat was revived on this world and he basically beat all of you without even trying?" Yukari asked as a grumble came from Bowser in the bed nearby.
" Shuddap you hag! I could have taken that freak out by myself if these Bozos didn't get in my way!" Bowser said before the loud snap of a fan closing caused him to yelp. " I-I mean Yukari! You look nice today!"
" That's what i thought." Yukari said as her glare lessened just a little bit. " The Shake King sounds like a tough opponent but perhaps by finding this man in yellow, you could find a way to beat him."
" man in yellow? Who in the world could that even be?" Mario asked while tapping his jaw as Sonic and Shadow were seen coming out of their beds and walking around.
" been a long time since i have been in this house. still looks exactly the same...well it seems bigger. Hey Mario? did you do some resizing?" Sonic asked while tapping his feet on the ground before wincing from his injured muscles.
" nope, that is all me, i kinda needed it to be far bigger than normal since we are housing alot of guests. More than you are normally used to." Yukari said before a bunch of toads and goombas came out of the back of the house, bouncing up and down in shock as Mario slowly made his way down to the floor.
" What, in the world happened to have all these guys here?" Mario asked as Peach stepped forward, looking down to the ground, rather crest-fallen.
" Mario...the Mushroom Kingdom...has fallen under the time you were out cold...as did a majority of Mushroom side of this continent." Peach said as Luigi came out of the kitchen, now slamming down onto the floor after being trapped in there.
" What!? What happened?!" Mario asked as peach began to tell the story.
A week ago...
It was terrible Mario, I remained here with Yukari while i was nursing you guys back to health when he attacked." Peach's faint image showed the shake King walking through the streets of Toad Town, striking down several houses with his powerful punches, several brave toads leapt to fight him, only to get sent flying through several homes.
" His fierce assault against my kingdom was swift and remorseless, so many toads were hurt in his rampage, even my finest soldiers." Peach placed her hand oer her heart. Watching through a Gap to see her soldiers being punched around and beaten like punching bags all over the place, sending several walls crumbling down.
Some of the Toads even joined up with him in order to be come stronger." 4 Toads were seen standing at his side, tall and powerful looking like Elemental Gunner looked like.
" even bowser's forces fell to him when they tried to take over the castle." Peach said as an entire army of Goombas and Koopas were all in a military formation before the Shake King stood before Bowser's Castle, smashing large chunks of it apart.
" There was nothing we could do but wait for you guys to heal up so you can save us from this nightmare that this man has brought us." Peach said as the Castle was reformed into a Massive ship, barely recognizable as it stood over Toad Town.
Back to the Current time...
" So that's what happened while i was Resting!? Some bozo comes and takes over my kingdom!? That's it! He's on my beatdown list ahead of Mario! And Green Mario! And that guy that keeps breaking into my castle talking about Time." Bowser said as everyone looked at him.
" Time?" Mario asked as Sonic and Shadow walked over to him.
" Yeah, kept talking about how i could change time to make it so that i could beat Mario and luigi. I didn't need it at all. I learn from my past mistakes so I can improve myself as a man and a fighter." Bowser said while crossing his arms.
" Wow...that was actually pretty wise, coming from you." Yukari said while sighing. " but anyways, you guys should go take care of the Shake King before he gets any funny ideas of World Hopping."
" no worries, this guy is about to get a Koopa King beatdown!"
" Wait! That guy shook all of the Emeralds out of me! We shoudl find them first before heading after him." Sonic urged as Mario took out the Emerald Radar.
" Hmm? It says that they're scattered around Rogueport? Why there of all places?" mario wondered as Luigi finally got up and was now crying, causing the Older Brother to sigh.
Elsewhere...
Wario was seen digging deep into his nose while looking uninterested in the news of the Mushroom Kingdom being conquered, he was more worried about his game company, resting behind his desk, he enjoyed this silence and serenity before Shake King was seen crashing through the wall.
" There you are, man of Yellow. You have now been tracked down and found." Shake King was seen looking down at Wario.
" What the...hey! I know you! I beat your tuckus in a long time ago! Now you want a round two!? Bring! IT! ON!" Wario didn't even give him a chance to speak, the desk was flying at the man before time stopped completely, the screen going grey.
