Chapter 1

Curse that Mario, I can't believe he defeated me again, after all the planning I went through to exploit my most diabolical scheme" Bowser complained as he paced back and forth around his throne room relentlessly.

Well sir, to be honest, your schemes never really do succeed that often " Kamek pointed out.

Bowser suddenly towered over the magikoopa as he glared down at him.

And what is that supposed to mean Kamek?" Bowser asked menacingly.

Uh uh, what I mean is that all the schemes you've ever came up with have all gone down the drain because of Mario's constant interference sir" Kamek said while cowering.

Hmph, I thought so, If I didn't know any better I'd say that you were calling me stupid" Bowser said.

No, absolutely not sir, I would never do that" Kamek said.

Anyways, what am I gonna do now, I've tried everything I could to destroy that plumber, but nothing ever works, I'm running out of ideas" Bowser mentioned.

Perhaps, why not team up with other villains who can help you destroy Mario" Kamek suggested.

That's impossible, I don't know any other villains around the Mushroom Kingdom" Bowser objected.

But what about teaming up with villains from other universes" Kamek said.

At this moment, Bowser began thinking for a few minutes, but then a thought came to his mind.

Wait a minute, that might work, I happen to know about some villains I've heard of" Bowser said.

Like who?" Kamek asked.

You'll find out soon enough" Bowser said chuckling evilly.


Later that day.......

Lord Bowser,when exactly are theses villains coming?" Kamek asked.

They'll be here, I contacted each of them and told them come to my castle so I can meet them face to face" Bowser said.

Are you sure they'll come?" Kamek asked curiously.

Yes, now stop asking" Bowser scolded.

Pretty soon, the doors to the throne room were pushed open, and four villains walked in soon after. One of them was a human, another was a large purple dragon, while the last two were a humanoid wolf and a big blue penguin wearing a king's uniform.

Welcome to my castle, I am Bowser, King of the Koopas, It is in my great honor to meet you all" Bowser greeted as he stepped down from his throne and walked towards them, with Kamek by his side.

I am Kamek, Bowser's royal advisor and the second-in-command of his army" Kamek greeted.

I am Ganondorf, King of the Gerudo race" said the human.

I am Ridley, leader of the Space Pirates" said the dragon.

I am Wolf O'Donnell, head commander of Star Wolf" said the wolf.

I am King Dedede, Self-proclaimed ruler of Dreamland" said the penguin.

What is your reason for contacting us?" Ridley asked.

Good question Ridley, the reason I've called you all here was so I could pledge an alliance between us" Bowser stated.

An alliance" Ganondorf said.

On what grounds?" Wolf asked.

I've heard a lot about you, I know you've all had your plans foiled by each of your arch enemies"Bowser mentioned.

Correct, all of my greatest plans to conquer Hyrule have been repeatedly thwarted by that wretched Hylian Link" Ganondorf admitted.

You think you're the only one with bad luck, I can't even begin to imagine all the torment I've been through because of that bounty hunter Samus Aran, every planet me and my army have tried to destroy, but whenever we came close to success, Samus always swooped in and ruined everything" Ridley explained.

Oh yeah, try dealing with a small pink puffball named Kirby who can suck up any enemy, copy their powers, and use them to defeat me" Dedede explained.

That's not even remotely humiliating, all those times I've had to deal with Fox and his team just doesn't suit me very well" Wolf said.

I agree with all of you, for I too have had problems with trying to destroy that insolent hero Mario, he's always gettng in the way of everything I do, plus he never fights fair" Bowser said.

It's true, Mario is a formidable opponent" Kamek added in.

So, what do you say?" Bowser asked.

We're in" the four villains agreed.

But, now that we're a group, we need a name" Wolf said.

How about team Bowser?" Kamek suggested.

No, you stupid Magikoopa, Team Bowser is not a good name" Bowser scolded.

But this group was your idea, what name do you think is best for it?" Kamek asked.

I know, what about the Syndicate of Evil" Wolf suggested.

Hmm, I like the sound of that, it's got a perfect ring to it" Ridley said.

It sounds sinister, I like it" Ganondorf agreed.

Me too" King Dedede agreed.

So it's settled, from this point on we're now known as the Syndicate of Evil" Bowser announced.

Now what?" Ridley asked.

Now, as leader of this new group, we must focus on devising a plan for universal conquest" Bowser stated.

Universal conquest, excellent" Ridley agreed.

Together, we'll be unstoppable" Dedede said.


3 minutes later......

The five villains were gathered in the conference room of the castle. When Bowser had first built his castle, he had made a special conference room in order to schedule meetings and devise new plans for conquest, it also was equipped with a hologram projector in middle of the table, and a specially built computer/communicator that can be used when needed. Bowser and his group were all seated around the table.

Alright let's get down to business, first we need to think of a way to launch a surprise attack" Bowser said.

But how, there's a possible chance that Mario might try to foil our invasion attempt" Ridley said.

I know Ridley, which is why we'll start things off by having our armies attack the Mushroom Kingdom first" Bowser said.

Ridley, are your Space Pirates still active?" Bowser asked.

Yes, I currently have them on stand by for the moment" Ridley replied.

My Star Wolf team is locked and loaded" Wolf said.

My army and monsters are ready for attack" King Dedede said.

The Gerudo army is fully prepared" Ganondorf said.

Marvelous, Kamek is the Koopa Troop army ready for action?"Bowser asked.

Absolutely sir, they're currently awaiting your orders" Kamek mentioned.

Good, we shall strike with immense force" Bowser said.

I've sent a message to my Space Pirates, they're on there way now" Ridley said.

And if any of our sworn enemies dare to oppose us, they shall be destroy" King Dedede sneered sinisterly.

Bowser pressed a button on the hologram projector and a holographic image of Mario came up.

Get ready to say your prayers Mario, your adventuring days are coming to an end" Bowser said.


Sometime later at Princess Peach's castle.........

Things sure have been quiet since Bowser hasn't been around" Peach mentioned.

I agree, he usually would have sprang an attack by now anytime soon" Mario said.

You've got a point there Mario, there's a possible chance he might be up to something" Luigi said.

Come on Luigi, what could possibly happen?" Mario asked.

Then all of a sudden, a loud massive explosion shook the castle, knocking everyone off their feet.

What was that loud explosion outside?" Luigi asked.

I don't know" Peach answered.

THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM IS UNDER ATTACK" Toadsworth yelled in panic.

What!" Peach squealed.

It's Bowser again, he's the only villain who's capable of causing huge explosions"Mario said.

When will that koopa ever give up?" Luigi asked.

He's a very savage villain Luigi, he never gives up" Peach explained.

You guys stay here in the castle, you'll be much safer" Mario said as he headed out the door.

Please be careful Mario" Peach said in worry.

Good luck bro" Luigi said giving him a thumbs up.

Mario gave them a nod before running off.

When he got outside, Mario saw that the entire kingdom was overrun by enemies of all kinds. But what confused the plumber was the fact of noticing enemies he had never seen before in his life. The most unusual things he saw were Space Pirates, Gerudos, Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, and various monsters all wreaking havoc around the Mushroom Kingdom. He also noticed that Bullet Bills were being fired from the distance, along with Bob-ombs being shot out of cannons from a far by Koopas and Goombas.

This is weird, I've never seen enemies like those before, what's going on here?" Mario asked in confusion.

Well, it doesn't matter, I'm gonna get rid of these enemies at once" Mario said.

Without warning, Mario charged into the group of enemies, beating them down one by one with punches,kicks and jumps , all the while dodging most of thier attacks. Mario soon began to realize that he could not defeat all of these enemies at once. The more he fought the more exhausted he became.

This is useless, there's too many of them, I can't beat them all at once in my normal form, if I only had a mega mushroom or a feather I'd be able to defeat them easily" Mario said.

Then Mario got an idea.

Wait a minute, I just remembered that I have a metal cap and a mega mushroom with me, those should come in handy" Mario said.

He reached into his overalls and pulled out a mega mushroom and a metal cap. Placing the metal cap over his red one, and using the power of the mushroom, he then became encased in metal and grew to enormous size, becoming Mega Metal Mario. He then continued fighting off the army of enemies, resisting all their attacks because of his metallic covering. After defeating the entire army, he changed back to normal when the power-ups wore off.

Well, that's the last of them, but where did Bowser get all those enemies" Mario wondered.

Those guys belong to the members of my new villainous group" said Bowser who appeared out of nowhere.

What new group, there's no one else around you?" Mario questioned.

That's where you're wrong red man" said Ridley as he and the other three villains appeared beside Bowser from the left and right.

Say hello to my new teammates Mario, we're called the Syndicate of Evil" Bowser announced.

The Syndicate of Evil morons sounds more fitting for you guys" Mario taunted.

Who are you calling morons smartmouth" Ganondorf protested.

I'm sorry, was that an insult or a complaint!" Mario joked.

We're warning you, watch your mouth or else" King Dedede threatened.

Or else what fat guy, you're gonna jump all over me!" Mario teased.

ALRIGHT THAT'S IT, WE'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU AND YOUR STUPID JOKES FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU'RE GOING DOWN" Bowser yelled.

GET HIM" Ridley yelled.

The five villains charged towards Mario, who dodged an oncoming fireball from Bowser, and a warlock punch from Ganondorf, countering with a kick to the head. King Dedede tried swinging his hammer at the heroic plumber, but Mario jumped out of the way and punched him square in the face, knocking him away. Ridley came zooming down towards Mario, slashing his claws at him. Mario was prepared and performed a Super Jump Punch, uppercutting Ridley in his lower jaw, sending him crashing into a tree. Wolf tried attacking him with punches and kicks, but the skilled plumber blocked them all and jumped into the air. The humanoid wolf immediately jumped up after him to intercept him, but Mario grabbed his arm, swung him and tossed him down, sending Wolf crashing into Bowser. Mario then landed back down on the ground.

Hmph, I thought so, did you all really think you could beat me that easily!" Mario asked tauntingly.

This isn't over yet, we're just getting started" Ridley said.

What are you talking about?" asked a confused Mario.

You've been tricked, King Dedede, now" Bowser said.

Before Mario even realized it, King Dedede suddenly appeared behind him and swung his hammer at Mario with immense force launching him far off into the distance, out of the Mushroom Kingdom.

We did it, we got rid of Mario, our very first victory has come to us" Bowser said.

Yes, the Mushroom Kingdom is now left unprotected" Ganondorf said.

And more importantly, so is it's ruler" Ridley pointed out.

Yes, now the Princess is mine" Bowser said.


Meanwhile......

Mario had crash landed in an unknown land that was far away from the Mushroom Kingdom, and from what could be seen around the area, this place was unfamiliar to him.

Man this bites, I can't believe those goons had were tricking me the whole time" Mario said in frustration.

Who are you?" said a voice.

Mario turned around to find himself face to face with a human who looked like he was only 16 or 17. He had dark blond hair and blue eyes. His attire consisted of a green tunic, tan pants, a pair of brown boots, and pair of brown fingerless gloves. But the most unusual features were his long goat like ears. He wielded a sword in his right hand and a shield in his left.

Mario took the time to think for a while.

I'll ask you again, who are you and why are you here?" the human asked demandingly.

My name is Mario, and I have no idea where I am at the moment" Mario answered.

Who are you by the way?" Mario asked.

I am Link" the human responded.

Well Link, just to let you know, I don't to want to fight you, I'm not an enemy, I don't mean any harm" Mario explained.

Why should I believe that you're telling the truth?" Link asked.

Do I look like I want to fight you!" Mario retorted.

No, I guess not" Link said as he put away his sword and shield.

Where are you from, you don't look like you're from around here" Link wondered.

I am from the Mushroom Kingdom" Mario stated.

I haven't heard of that place before" Link mentioned.

If you don't mind me asking, what is this place?" Mario asked.

This is the Kingdom of Hyrule, it's a peaceful kingdom which is currently under the leadership of it's ruler, Princess Zelda" Link explained.

Interesting, the Mushroom Kingdom is also ruled by a princess, her name is Peach" Mario said.

But sadly, even though Hyrule is a very peaceful place, It has been attacked countless times on occasion" Link said.

I know what you mean Link, the Mushroom Kingdom has been attacked relentlessly by all sorts of enemies" Mario agreed.

Same here" Link said.

Now that were off that subject, how did you get here in the first place? " Link asked.

I kinda crash landed here when I was launched 5000 miles into the sky away from the Mushroom Kingdom by some idiot and his giant hammer" Mario said.

I have plenty of problems dealing with Ganondorf" Link said.

Ganondorf, that's who that human was?" Mario asked.

You mean you've seen him?" Link asked in surprise.

Yeah, I first encountered him when he was attacking the Mushroom Kingdom with Bowser and some other villains" Mario said.

Who's Bowser?" Link asked curiously.

He's my arch nemesis. He's an evil koopa who's long term goal is to destroy me and take over the Mushroom Kingdom. He's tried a million times to to dispose of me, but I've always defeated him no matter how hard he tries" Mario said.

What did you mean when you said Ganondorf was working with Bowser and three other villains?" Link asked.

Bowser teamed up with Ganondorf and three villains named Ridley, Wolf, and King Dedede to to form a group called the Syndicate of Evil" Mario said.

The Syndicate of Evil, where did he come up with something like that?" Link asked.

Apparently he felt humiliated after I defeated him, that's what caused him to even form this group"Mario said.

This doesn't sound good" Link said.

Exactly, and I've got to stop them before they cause any more trouble, of course it might take me days or months to get back to the Mushroom Kingdom, if I go now It should save me some time, but I could use some help along the way"Mario said.

Let me guess, you want me to come along with you?" Link asked.

Yes, I think you might be of good help to me"Mario said.

Then I shall accompany you on your adventure" Link agreed.

Who knows, we might find others to help us along the way"Mario said.

Great, well we better get going now, this is a long quest we're embarking on" Link said.

But just before they could leave they could, they were stopped by none other than Princess Zelda.

Wait, don't go yet" Zelda said.

Link walked up to her.

What is it?" Link asked her.

I just wanted to give you this" Zelda said as she presented him with a golden necklace, which she placed around his neck.

What's this?" Link asked .

It's a good luck charm that will give you success on your journey" Zelda told him.

Thank you" Link replied.

Zelda then gave him a quick passionate kiss on the lips.

You're welcome"Zelda said.

Afterwards Link and Mario began their long adventure.

Was that princess Zelda?" Mario asked.

Yes" Link replied.

As they continued traveling, they suddenly came across a crashed gunship located nearby in a large crater. Judging from it's appearance, it looked like it was from space.

Where did that ship come from?" Link asked.

Beats me, let's check it out" Mario suggested.

Whoa Mario, how do we know if's it safe or not?" Link questioned him.

We won't know that unless we check for ourselves?" Mario answered as he walked towards the ship, with Link reluctantly following.

They sooner they reached the ship, they took the time to examine it.

Hmm, it looks like an alien ship" Mario said.

Of course, what else could it be" Link commented.

You think that an unknown gunship would crash here unexpectedly for no reason at all!" Mario replied.

How am I suppose to know that this isn't some sort of alien ship?" Link asked.

Because it's not" said a voice from inside the ship.

Huh, who said that?" Mario asked.

I did" said a mysterious being who emerged out of the ship in a high tech power suit.

Who are you?" Mario asked.

I am Samus Aran" said the mystery person in a feminine voice.

Wait, you sound as if you're a woman" Link said.

That's because I am a woman" Samus said pressing a button on her suit which made it disappear, revealing a tall woman with a long blonde hair which was tied back in a ponytail. She was also wearing a blue, skintight bodysuit which her covered her whole body.

Well, this is a surprising discovery" Link commented.

How did you crash here?" Mario asked.

I was busy flying through space in my gunship, when all of a sudden it somehow malfunctioned for no good reason, I tried to get it back online, but It just wouldn't respond, so I've been stuck here for hours" Samus explained.

That's not good, what are you gonna do now?" Link asked.

I don't know, I guess I'm stranded here" Samus mentioned.

By the way I don't think we've introduced ourselves yet, My name's Mario" Mario said.

And I'm Link" Link said.

Nice to meet you both" Samus greeted.

But then she changed the subject.

Now to be specific, where am I?" Samus asked.

You're in Hyrule"Mario said.

Mario's from the Mushroom Kingdom" Link mentioned.

By the way, where were you two going?" Samus asked.

We're currently on a mission to stop this evil group of villains called the Syndicate of Evil" Mario stated.

Who are they?" Samus asked.

They're just five villains who decided to work together to acheive world domination, two of the members are our arch enemies, Bowser and Ganondorf, the rest of the members are Ridley, Wolf, and King Dedede" Mario said.

Did you say Ridley?" Samus asked.

Yeah, do you know him?" Mario asked.

Do I know him, of course I do, I've known him since I was a little girl, he and his Space Pirates were responsible for the death of my family and friends, and since then I've been wanting to get revenge on him for years" Samus stated.

What exactly do you do for a living Samus?" Link asked in curiosity.

I'm a bounty hunter" Samus responded.

Well, since you have a vendetta against Ridley, would you like to join us on our adventure?" Mario offered.

Well, I don't know, normally I prefer to work alone, but in this case I'll make an exception" Samus said.

So, that means you'll help us?" Link asked.

Yes, I'd be more than willing to assist you" Samus agreed.

The sooner we stop those villains, the better" Mario said as he, Link and Samus set off on their mission, although Samus didn't even bother to reactivate her power suit. Little did the three heroes know that they were being watched by a Lakitu, who flew away soon after.


Meanwhile....

Hours had passed since Mario was gone, and the Mushroom Kingdom was left unprotected. The Syndicate of Evil had captured most of the citizens, as well as Peach and Luigi, and they took control of Peach's castle.

Well, my dream has finally came true, the Mushroom Kingdom is now mine to control since Mario is no longer here to stop me" Bowser bragged.

Hah, he never stood a chance against us" King Dedede said.

I bet he's probably weakened from a 5000 mile fall, or better yet, dead" Ridley said.

He better be, because if he showed his face around here again, we'd be ready for him" Wolf said.

Well princess, looks like you no other choice but to marry me and become my queen" Bowser said to Peach, who was chained to the wall right next to Luigi.

Not a chance, even if Mario was dead, I would still never marry you" Peach objected.

Your mouth says no, but deep down, your heart says yes" Bowser said.

It says yes to Mario, and no to you" Peach retorted.

Whoa, you're kinda feisty there, I like that" Bowser commented.

Leave her alone Bowser, you twisted freak" Luigi protested angrily.

What did you call me?" Bowser asked menacingly.

You heard me, don't think that I'm afraid of you, because I'm not" Luigi said bravely.

You've got a lot of nerve talking like that to bunch of villains who can kill you" Ganondorf said.

Yeah, you obviously don't realize that some of the things you say can earn you a serious beating" Bowser said.

So you better watch your mouth green cap, or else" Wolf said.

Says the bunch of villains who are too arrogant and selfish to realize how stupid they're all being" Luigi taunted.

But then Ridley grasped Luigi tightly by the throat, nearly choking him to death.

We could kill you right now, but that would be too soon, we'll just wait until the right time to do so" Ridley said threateningly before letting go of him and backing off.

You're just like what Mario said you were, a bunch of morons" Luigi said.

Shut your mouth or I'll hammer your face in" King Dedede threatened.

Make me loser" Luigi taunted.

Luigi stop, you're only making them mad" Peach said.

Forget about him, we need to focus on our plans to conquer the universe" Bowser said.

But then the Lakitu from earlier came flying in through the castle doors on it's cloud.

Lord Bowser, I have urgent news" said Lakitu.

What is it?" Bowser asked.

Mario is alive and he's on his way here" Lakitu said.

HE'S WHAT!"Bowser yelled.

He's coming here, and he's got new allies with him" Lakitu said.

Who are they? Bowser asked.

Some guy named Link, and a bounty hunter named Samus" Lakitu explained.

Link!" Ganondorf said in shock.

Samus!" Ridley said, also in shock.

Kamek, send out my air force on the double, now" Bowser ordered.

Right away sir" Kamek before leaving.

Space Pirates, go and assist them" Ridley ordered.

This is Wolf to Star Wolf, send some Venomian fighter ships immediately" Wolf said into his communicator.

I'll have my bulblin troops intercept our enemies as well" Ganondorf said.

And I'll have my monsters attack also" King Dedede said.

We have to do whatever it takes to stop Mario and his allies from foiling our plans" Bowser said.


Later on......

Mario, Link, and Samus were now currently traveling through a desert wasteland. It has been hours since they left Hyrule, so far they haven't encountered any enemies during the whole travel. The whole time they were traveling, they never show any signs of exhaustion.

Seriously, how can you guys withstand this intense heat?" Samus asked.

I've traveled through deserts countless times, I'm able to resist the heat" Mario replied.

I may not have traveled through a desert before, but my body is resistant to the sun's heat also" Link added in.

Oh, I didn't know that" Samus said.

But suddenly Mario stopped in his tracks almost as if he sensed danger up ahead.

What's wrong Mario?" Samus asked.

Look out, incoming bombs" Mario warned them as he jumped out of the way of an incoming Bob-omb, which exploded after it was mysteriously dropped from the sky.

Whoa, what was that?" Link asked in surprise.

That was a Bob-omb, and I know exactly what it was that dropped it from the sky, look" Mario said while pointing up at the sky. Samus and Link looked saw a huge flock of Albatosses flying through the sky, each of them carrying a Bob-omb in their talons.

What are those things?" Samus asked in shock.

Those are Albatosses, Bowser must have sent out his air force to stop us" Mario said.

How can we defeat them?" Link wondered.

We have to catch the Bob-ombs and throw them back at the Albatosses, It's the only way to stop them" Mario said.

Pretty soon, the three heroes began catching all the Bob-ombs and throwing them back at the Albatosses, knocking each of them out of the sky, but things got worse as more of them came flying in.

There's just too many of them, no matter how many we bring down they just keep coming" Link informed.

Then sooner or later, an army of Space Pirates came advancing towards them. Samus was the first to notice them.

Who are those guys?" Link asked.

Space Pirates, my natural enemies, I know how to deal with these guys" Samus said activating her Power Suit.

She then began blasting all the Space Pirates one by one with her arm cannon, shooting out missiles and energy beams, destroying the Space Pirates.

However, the situation became even more serious when a fleet of alien ships suddenly appeared and began firing lasers around the whole area. To make matters worse, a huge group of bulblins came rushing into the area.

Oh yeah, now things are getting interesting" Link said smiling cockily as he pulled out his sword and shield, getting prepared for battle. He charged forward and attacked them, slashing off their heads and arms, and impaling several other bulblins, all the while blocking each of their attacks with his shield.

Afterwards, several monsters including Ice Dragons, Dark Matters, and many other monsters all appear and attack the heroes.

Where did those monsters come from?" Link asked.

I don't know, King Dedede probably sent them" Mario said.

I don't even know where those alien ships came from" Samus said as she continued shooting Space Pirates.

They didn't have any time to guess however as suddenly out of nowhere, a small white and blue ship came zooming through the skies, where it began firing green lasers at the enemy ships, shooting them down one after another.

Looks like we got help on our side" Mario said.

All of a sudden, a mysterious pink puffball came flying in on a bright yellow star. The moment he was halfway out of the sky, he jumped off the star and began attacking the monsters, first by inhaling an Ice Dragon, he changed to the color blue and a crown of ice formed on his head. He then shot forth a wave of ice from his mouth, freezing all the monsters in blocks of ice, which he shattered by punching them.

Wow, nice moves" Link commented.

Thanks, I'm Kirby" he said.

Meanwhile Mario was still busy throwing Bob-ombs back at the Albatosses that were still dropping them.

You've got to be kidding, these Albatosses are the weakest enemies Bowser has ever sent at us" Mario said.

After all the enemies were defeated, the heroes all gathered around each other.

That was close" Samus said deactivating her power suit.

I gotta say, for a small guy, you sure do pack a punch Kirby" Link said.

I'm the best at what I can do " Kirby replied.

Wait a minute, what I want to know is, who is that flying up there?" Mario wondered.

They all soon watched as the white and blue ship landed near them. The cockpit of the ship popped open and a humanoid fox jumped out of it.

Are you all okay?" he asked them.

Yeah, we are now, thanks to you shooting down those unknown ships" Mario answered.

By the way, who are you?" Link asked.

I'm Fox McCloud, leader of the Star Fox Team" he said.

What's Star Fox?" Samus asked.

We're a legendary team of mercenaries who defend the galaxy against alien threats from time to time, it's our job" Fox explained.

What's that ship behind you?" Mario asked.

That's my Arwing, it's a specially designed starfighter ship used for mid-air combat" Fox stated.

Impressive" Samus commented.

What were those alien ships you shot down?" Kirby asked.

Those were Venomian ships that were sent from the planet Venom" Fox said.

That doesn't sound good" Mario said.

It's not, Venom is a very dangerous planet, the oxygen is so toxic that it makes the planet uninhabitable to all kinds of organic life, except for the creatures that already live there" Fox said.

Well, anyways we were currently on a mission to stop the Syndicate of Evil, they sent out those enemies to try and stop us" Samus said.

Since you two helped us stop these enemies, we were thinking maybe you could accompany us on our mission" Mario offered.

I'm in" Kirby agreed.

I'll go along as well" Fox agreed.

Great, we got more new members for our group" Link said.

Just to let you know, it's gonna be a long way on foot" Mario said.

That's not gonna be a problem, I know how we can go faster" Fox said.

How do you expect us to fit in your Arwing?" Link asked.

Who said anything about using my Arwing?" Fox retorted.

Fox then spoke into a communicator on his wrist.

Fox to the Great Fox, I'm on my way back to headquarters, do you think you could bring my friends onboard ROB" Fox said.

Affirmative" said a robotic voice.

Suddenly, a large shadow loomed over the area. Everyone looked up in the sky to see a giant white ship floating above them.

Everyone, meet my main headquarters, the Great Fox" Fox introduced.

Amazing, it's enormous" Samus said.

Yep, it's my base of operations and main mode of transportation" Fox said.

But what about the Arwing?" Mario pointed out.

I only use that to battle aerial enemies, this is what I use to travel" Fox said.

The Great Fox landed on their location and opened up a hatch door. Fox flew the Arwing in the ship while Mario and the others all walked in. Within minutes, the ship then took off into the sky.

Wow, look at this place, it has all sorts of advanced technology" Samus said as she looked around inside the ship.

If you're a leader of a team, then where are your teammates?" Mario asked.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention, the others are currently still living on Corneria, me and ROB 64 are the only ones on board" Fox said.

So you've been operating this entire ship on your own?" Kirby asked.

Yes" Fox said.

Well, now that we've got a base of operations, now we can focus on coming up with a way to stop the Syndicate of Evil before they take over the entire universe" Link said.

Exactly, but how?" Kirby asked.

It was clearly obvious that they had sent their minions for a reason, besides trying to stop us, they were also trying to throw us off guard" Samus explained.

It's a good thing we were prepared" Mario said.

We're safe, but only for now, there's no telling what they'll try to do next" Fox said.

Warning, warning, incoming enemy transmission" ROB informed.

Then all of a sudden, Bowser and his group of villains show up on screen.

Well well well, if it isn't Mario, and I see you've got some new friends with you" Bowser said.

Fox McCloud, long time no see" Wolf said.

Wolf, so you're apart of this group are you?" Fox questioned him.

You are correct" Wolf replied.

King Dedede, I should have known you had something to do with this" Kirby accused him.

It's nice to see my soon-to-be-dead arch nemesis again" King Dedede said smirking evilly.

What are you up to Bowser?" Mario questioned him.

Me and my team have recently taken control of the Mushroom Kingdom since you've been gone Mario" Bowser stated.

You won't get away with this Bowser" Mario said.

The screen suddenly went blank.

Agh, curse those villains" Fox hissed.

We've got to stop those guys before they succeed in their main goal" Link said.

Hey wait, I think I've got a way we can even out the odds" Kirby said.

What is it?" Mario asked.

Since they got a name for their group, why don't we come up with a name for us" Kirby suggested.

You know, that's a good idea" Fox agreed.

So, what do you think we should call ourselves" Samus wondered.

I don't know" Mario said.

Me neither" Fox said.

I'm dry" Link said.

I've got it, how about we call ourselves, The Smash Bros" Kirby suggested.

Yeah, I like that" Mario said.

Me too" Samus said.

It's got a great ring to it" Link said.

Excellent" Fox said.

So, from now on, we are now called, The Smash Bros"Mario stated.

And our motto is," We serve and protect those in need" Samus announced.

We'll take down any threat that gets in our way" Fox said.

Let's just be lucky that there minions didn't stand a chance against us" Mario said.


Meanwhile.....

What do you mean they failed to stop Mario and his friends" Bowser scolded, glaring at Kamek.

How could this be possible, our minions had them outnumbered" Ridley fumed.

Apparently our forces were no match for them" Kamek said nervously.

I can't believe how incompetent you are, can't you do anything right you bumbling Magikoopa!" King Dedede lectured.

I'm sorry, it won't happen again I swear" Kamek apologized.

You better pray that you won't screw up again" Bowser said.

What are we gonna do now, those fools are already one step ahead of us" Ganondorf said.

Relax Ganondorf, we just need more time to come up with another plan to annihilate them" Wolf said.

And I've got just the plan to do it" Ridley said.

Will it work?" Bowser asked.

Yes, it will work, in a very big way" Ridley replied.

I think this is gonna be enjoyable" Bowser said forming an evil smile.


Meanwhile on the Great Fox.....

What do you suppose Bowser and his goons are up to?" Link asked while he and the others were gathered in the main conference room of the ship, sitting at a round table in the middle of the room.

I have no idea, but whatever they're planning, it's probably big" Kirby answered.

I agree with Kirby, knowing how those guys operate, it's possible that they've got a trick up their sleeve" Mario said.

Let's just hope that we'll be prepared for when it happens" Fox said.

Then all of sudden a loud alarm went off inside the ship.

What's that alarm?" Samus asked.

An enemy's been sighted" Fox said.

The heroes all headed up to the main deck to find out what's going on.

ROB, what's going on?" Fox asked.

Enemy spotted, it is attacking a forest area" ROB replied.

Bring it up on the monitor, now" Fox ordered.

Affirmative" ROB said as he activated the monitor. The moment they got a look at the unknown enemy, they gasped at the sight of a large three-eyed, green skinned reptilian monster wreaking havoc across the land, uprooting trees and throwing them in random directions, all the while shooting explosive boulders from it's mouth, blowing up everything in sight.

What the heck is that thing, it's enormous" Link said in surprise.

It looks like an a giant alien monster" Mario said.

That's Kraid" Samus said.

Who?" Kirby asked

Kraid, I first encountered him on the planet Brinstar when I was on a mission, Ridley must have summoned him" Samus said.

We have to stop him before he destroys the entire forest" Mario said.

You guys attack from the ground, I'll attack him from the air with my Arwing" Fox commanded.

You got it Fox" Samus said activating her power suit.

Fox then left the room and headed for his Arwing in the docking bay.

Meanwhile the others all decided to jump out of the hatch door in mid-air and landed down on the ground several feet away from Kraid. In the meantime, Fox came flying out of the ship in his Arwing.

Smash Bros attack" Mario commanded.

The four heroes all began attacking Kraid. Samus tried firing a powerful missile at him, but the giant simply swatted it away with ease and retaliated by shooting spike projectiles from his belly, which the heroes narrowly avoided.

Whoa, I didn't know he could do that" Link said in astonishment.

Of course, that's one of his signature moves" Samus said.

Well let's see if he can do anything against my fire" Mario said.

Mario began charging up fire in his hands, he put them together to form a large fireball, he then threw it at Kraid, striking him in the chest, but this only angered the monster, who suddenly swung his tail at Mario, knocking him through four trees before Mario crashed into a large rock, groaning in pain from the impact.

Man, he sure is strong" Mario said rubbing his head as he got up.

Fox began firing lasers at the beast from his Arwing, but the blasts were unable to penetrate Kraid's rough skin. He tried a fully charged blast, but all it left was a small burn mark on the monsters skin. In a fit of rage, Kraid swatted at Fox with his right hand, trying to knock him out of the sky, but Fox easily evaded his attack and counter by shooting a bomb at him, which exploded the moment it touched him, but despite the blast, Kraid remained unharmed completely.

I don't understand, nothing's working against him" Fox said.

But while Fox was distracted, Kraid grabbed hold of him in his left hand

Shoot, he's got me" Fox said.

We have to help Fox, Kraid might crush his Arwing in half while he's still in there" Kirby said.

Don't worry, one of my missiles will make that monster let go of him" Samus said.

Within minutes, Samus fired a Super Missile, which struck Kraid in his left arm, making him release Fox from his grip. Enraged, Kraid suddenly lifted up his right foot and tried to step on the heroes, but the heroes jumped out of the way.

Link then lunged forward and stabbed his sword into Kraid's belly, making the massive beast roar in pain, but it also enraged him even more. He swiped his right hand at the hero, knocking him into a nearby lake.

Kirby rushed forward and tried his Final Cutter technique, slashing at Kraid's belly, leaving a bloody wound on the monster. He quickly jumped away when Kraid tried to stomp on him.

This is hopeless, we've tried everything, but he keeps on coming, no matter how much we attack him, nothing stops him" Mario said.

He's gotta have a weak spot, but where!" Kirby wondered.

His eyes and mouth, of course" Samus said.

What?" Mario asked.

Kraid's weak spots are his eyes and mouth, maybe if we have Fox shoot him in the eyes, Kraid will open his mouth to roar in pain , thus allowing Fox to fire a bomb down his throat and blow him up from the inside" Samus explained.

That's a good idea" Mario said.

Hey Fox, try shooting Kraid in the eyes, then when he opens his mouth to roar, try firing a bomb down his throat, it will blow him up from the inside" Samus called up to him.

You got it Samus" Fox called back.

Fox then flew in close above Kraid's head and used the brakes on his Arwing to stop in place.

Take this ugly" Fox said as he fired his lasers at Kraid's eyes, making the beast roar loudly in pain. While his mouth was wide open, Fox then shot a bomb into Kraid's mouth and down his throat. Within seconds, Kraid blew up in a huge explosion.

It worked, we did it, we defeated Kraid" Mario said.

All thanks to our teamwork" Kirby said.

We did a great job" Samus said.

We sure did" Link said after climbing out of the lake.

As long we work together, nothing can beat us" Fox said after he landed and climbed out of his Arwing.

Now that we're done here, let's head back to the Great Fox for regrouping" Mario said.


Well, here it is everybody. The first chapter of my story. It took me all last week just to make this chapter.

I got the inspiration to write this story by reading about the villainous groups in the Marvel Comics.

My idea to have Bowser form the Syndicate of Evil was inspired by these evil Marvel groups:

1. The Masters of Evil

2. The Sinister Six

The idea to have the heroes form a team was inspired by my most favorite Marvel hero groups:

1. The Avengers

2. The Fantastic Four

3. The X-Men

Well, anyways I hope you guys like it, I worked real hard on it.

Later folks.
