Black clouds covered the sky as rain poured endlessly as a waterfall falling from the sky standing atop a giant building of red construction nets something was hanging from it a giant ape who held on to dear life but the rain made it harder for the ape to keep a tight hold "It's over."

The ape looked up in fear watching a chubby short man with blue eyes and messy curly brown hair glaring down at the creature with malice "For destroying my family and nearly ending the Marco bloodline I'll end you on this day!"

"Stop I-I was scared I didn't know-"

"Silent!" the man yelled in rage at the ape that had tears in it's eyes "Where was the mercy when my brother and sister were being crushed under that flaming ceiling!"

"Higgins stop!" yelled a woman from behind him with long black hair and blue eyes "End it please this cycle of hatred will haunt us, will haunt our children."

The woman placed a hand on her stomach "I have a child to waiting for me."

The two turned to the ape with the man Higgins gaze softening as he gave a helping hand to the ape.

"That man nearly placed the end of the world at that moment" the voice that Mario kept hearing spoke.

"What is going on? Who are these two?" Mario asked.

"The closest people to you before your brother, in this journey you'll learn who you are Mario."

(…)

Mario groaned as his eyes opened yawning he stretched making a crack on his back these Kong's choice of a bed wasn't really comforting being a very hard wood "Good morning Mario."

"Good morning Cappy" the plumber greeted his companion as he got off of his bed with a leap.

Now fully recovered and dressed the plumber walked through the Kong village many of them still recovering from the attack with homes being rebuilt, the villagers greeted their saviour with thanks and waves which Mario acknowledged with a tuck of his hat until he reached the treehouse of Cranky Kong where both Donkey and Diddy are resting in after Wario destroyed there's in the recent attack "ABSOULETELY NOT!"

The shout made it clear for everyone that the aged retired leader isn't happy…well being more pronounced and higher in volume than normal, the plumber climbed up the ladder and knocked on the door "Great who is it?"

"It's a me Mario" the plumber greeted as the door was opened by Diddy, Mario came in and saw the father and son in a staring no a glaring contest.

"The Crystal Coconut had been taken by Roy Koopa and he resides in New Donk City regardless of our past relationship with the Metro Federation and its inhabitants that relic takes top priority" the chief argued.

The aged retired chief gritted his teeth as he mustered up the biggest glare of them all scaring both the Kong's along with Mario "Never!"

"Mister Cranky listen I have no right to speak regarding your policies but Wario is a formidable foe that can't be ignored and if we help the Metro federation we could fix the relationship between them and you" Mario offered.

"Ignorant youth" Cranky murmured not meeting Mario's eyes making the plumber more suspicious of the old ape and how he's calmer and eerily around him "Mario is it?"

"Yes sir."

"You can go there on your own you'll be safe" the ape spoke "The dispute between Kongo jungle and the Metro federation isn't a simple disagreement just as I placed a ban on them and forbade the Kong's from going they did the same with us."

Both Donkey and Diddy were taken back for the longest time many of the Kong's believed that the ban was simply one of Cranky's episodes but it appears to be more than that "What happened?"

Diddy asked with a gulp which turned to fear when Cranky looked at him the fear however subsided when Cranky's gaze wasn't one of anger but rather sorrow "Somethings are better unsaid and with Roy at the helm of the federation he'll enact that law even if the federation's independence had been taken from it should we Kong's go there it'll cause a war between both of our sides after the Dark army is driven out."

"Very well me and Cappy are going to fight Roy Koopa alone" Mario offered.

"Mario you can't be serious" Diddy scolded.

"I have been causing trouble and not able to fix them since I came here so I'll do this as making up for Wario taking the Crystal Coconut" Mario assured them with a smile "I'll get that relic back and I'll put in some good word for Kongo jungle."

"But still going alone is suicidal" Donkey argued.

"He won't be alone" Cappy spoke "He'll have me along with some other Bonneter's fighter vehicles that were repaired."

"They'll be fine that place isn't a good place to hold a military base after all" Cranky spoke up "If you wish for the Kong's help then prove it by defeating Roy Koopa by yourself."

"I'll" Mario affirmed with a determined look as he and Cappy got out of the house leaving the three Kong's in a state of uncomfortable silence.

"What the hell are you two waiting for the place isn't going to fix itself!" Cranky scolded the two younger apes forcing them out once alone the aged ex chieftain sighed as he took off his glasses and began massaging his eyes "Higgins your son is quite troublesome just as you were."

(…)

Mario and Cappy made it back to the Odyssey as the latter was on communication "Milord are you serious about this?"

Cappy was prepared for his officer to argue against him "Yes it seems the dispute between the Kong's and the Metro federation isn't simply a political argument should the Kong's interfere it'll lead to a war between them after the Dark army is driven out."

"Very well I'll send in two airships they should arrive in a day and a half now with air routes being secured from Dark army airships" the officer calculated.

"Very well until then me and Mario are going to strategize and get a lay out of the Metro federation and of Roy Koopa's place of operations" Cappy ended the call with a salute as Mario simply looked over Kongo jungle "It really is frustrating coming all the way for perhaps the strongest ally we can get in this war and yet they refuse to fight with us."

"I don't hold it against them" Mario rebutted surprising Cappy "We're simply outsiders who came in to fight a common foe, if I need to prove myself than I'll do I always had."

Cappy noticed a glint in Mario's eyes but it wasn't the familiar glint of say excitement or determination before he can determine it two familiar figures reached them "Sorry Mario I wish I was able to undo that law but dad still holds great sway even after retirement."

"It doesn't help DK isn't very smart" Diddy added knocking on Donkey's skull which made a coconut noise.

"Guys it's fine we'll get help from two Bonneter airships" Mario assured the two of them.

"Well we might not be able to come with you but we can help you prepare for this" Donkey said as he gestured for the plumber to follow, the foursome made it to a plane where a Kong wearing a torn white shirt along with torn jeans in addition to a pair of shades and a red bandana.

"Hello DK and Diddy my two favourite customers how can I be of help?" the Kong asked.

"Hey Funky we need you to give equipment along with maps of Metro federation to this guy right here" Donkey pointed at Mario.

"Well, well I'll be damned your one of them the Mario bros right?" Funky asked.

"Yes."

"Well fine I'll hook you up with the best I got" Funky assured.

"Wait there's a catch there right?" Diddy narrowed his eyes at the Kong.

"Hey business been bad for me ever since those Dark troops started invading everybody and besides Mario here can get me some stuff from the Metro federation to sell here" Funky raised his arms up in defence.

"Fine I'll get you things from there" Mario agreed.

"Alright little man we just met but I can tell you'll be a favourite customer of mine just like these two" Funky began showing stuff to Mario ranging from mushrooms, fire flowers along with their ice counterparts, Starman's, rock mushrooms, Tanuki leaf, flying squirrel mushroom and some things Mario didn't quite recognize.

"Is that a gun?" Mario asked pointing at peripheral bazooka.

"Nah it's the Super Scoop" Funky got hold of it "This baby is one of the few things I managed to get from the Metro federation it can shoot for long distances and charge up powerful shots, obviously this thing isn't cheap though but sense you promised me to bring stuff from there I'll give to ya on a discount."

"Thanks and that shield?" Mario pointed at a blue shield.

"Well the saying goes it's dangerous to go alone take one of these babies it's guaranteed to protect ya especially when riding something" Funky threw the shield at Mario who caught right before Funky hit it showing it's durability.

After getting some power ups in addition to the Super Scoop and the Shield Mario parted ways with the two Kong's making it towards the Odyssey were he again retried for the night after some discussions with Cappy.

(…)

"Well I'll be damned you actually succeeded" Roy spoke with praise to a very smirking Wario who played with his moustache.

The evil Mario cousin smiled widely as the Koopaling checked the crystal coconut endlessly "Well now about that payment four million gold coins is a good deal is it not?"

Roy frowned from behind his shades at Wario "Four millions gold coins are you nuts? I don't have that kind of money and last I checked you agreed on twelve thousand gold coins!"

"Well you said this crystal coconut does make a fortune so I expect to be paid handsomely for getting something your troops couldn't" Wario blew his nose disgusting the Koopaling who looked away, this was what Wario needed as he grabbed the crystal coconut but stopped when a light came out from it "What the hell?"

The light began to subside revealing three airships flying in the sky one of which is the Odyssey which Mario is travelling on whilst two Bonneter airships are next to it, Roy turned to the blue winged Koopa troopa "Check the radar!"

The Koopa troopa did as told with added speed before it revealed the sky around them with nothing in the air "Lord Roy nothing to report."

This information shocked Roy but that shock was short lived as his eyes turned to the crystal coconut again showing Mario and Cappy scaling the towers of sky scrappers during the heavy rain "Check the city security camera's!"

The hammer bro did as told and yet nothing was there and the weather was nice rather than rainy "Nothing to report sir."

Roy turned to the crystal coconut but the light had faded and nothing was there anymore "Wait could it be?"

Soon the Koopaling began to chuckle before he laughed "Hey did thing make you crazy or what?"

"No fool this thing is the key to defeating Mario once and for all" Roy proclaimed as he cradled the crystal coconut as a new-born "I didn't believe it and I questioned why Kamek wanted it so badly, but now I know it's true."

"Hey I'm not a citizen of your creepy land so you better spell out the beans" Wario demanded with a tap of his foot.

"This relic has the ability to see into the future" Roy revealed rising the relic into the air "With it I can defeat Mario and anyone that dares get into the way of the dark army, it'll be cool to get one over my failed siblings and earn King dad's favour forever."

Wario smirk grew wider "Then how about six billion gold coins."

"Help me in destroying the approaching Mario and I'll triple it to 9 billion" Roy offered with a hand which Wario took in a handshake determining their deal and goal.

(…)

The sky was rainy as Mario and Cappy looked at their destination on either sides of the Odyssey were Bonneter airships flying side by side with them "With a rainy sky like this the Dark army's airships will not fly as freely and wouldn't risk patrolling a long distance away from the capital."

Cappy removed the binoculars from his eyes as he grabbed the communication transport "Alright we'll slowly-"

*BOOM

Both Mario and Cappy looked to the side as one of the airships got hit and soon enough the noise of propellers invaded their ears as their eyes widened to see the airships of the Dark troops coming out of the clouds with aimed and ready canons that fired again hitting the Odyssey and the ither two airships again "We're getting hit quickly gain control!"

Mario did as Cappy instructed and rushed jumping towards the steering wheel switching off the automatic control in favour of the manual control as he took the steering wheel and began stabling the Odyssey "What now?"

"Do the enemy airships appear on the radar?"

"They do" Mario answered seeing the two red dots representing the enemies.

"Aright they are some light weapons we could use for distraction!"

"On it" Mario switched some switches as the Odyssey small canons came out shooting light fire that mostly just exploded in the air without making contact with the enemy instead just flaring yellow bright harmless explosions that blinded the troops whilst Mario steered the wheel off course diving into the heavy clouds.

"Come in are you there?" Cappy asked on the radio as static greeted him.

"We're holding well, we'll do our best to secure a safe landing for you and Mario."

"Make sure to survive as well" Cappy commanded with a heavy sigh.

"As you command" the communication was cut off.

"So what's the plan?" Mario asked the Bonneter prince.

"We'll make a landing into the federation grounds either far or close to the capital New Donk city" Cappy answered "Dive into the ground and be mindful of clouds with lightning in them."

"Roger!" Mario began diving the steering wheel in as the Odyssey made a sound that would make any safe driver fearful, the radar popped as more red dots appeared "We got company."

As on que two more airships come out of the clouds firing bullet bills at the Odyssey hitting the propellers on the back as an emergency light and alarm sounded through the flying vehicle as both occupants tried to endure, Cappy floated towards the middle of the Odyssey and pulled two levers "Mario!"

"I'll be there in a few seconds but first" Mario snapped his fingers knowing what his partner needed Cappy spined into his friend's hand who then tossed him into the window breaking it and making contact with the bullet bill that was about to hit said window as Cappy took centre stage Mario possessed the bullet bill and launched himself at the airships before he jumped out of it letting the bill hit the row of the airship.

With the row damaged the airships began falling back with many minions crying out in despair some unfortunate ones screamed as they fell into the clouds, not relenting another bullet bill was making beeline towards the duo but Mario jumped over it and crushed it under his feet whilst throwing Cappy into a Sledge bro that tried to stay on board possessing it.

Now in control of a powerful giant minion the plumber threw the hammer into the steering wheel of the airship and un possessing the capture as the airship fully lost control and fell into oblivion accompanied by the screams of the crew "Our vehicle is ready!"

"Alright!" Mario dived into riding a go kart which had an exposed roof with four boosters on the back, turning the key the engine roared into life as the Bonneter threw a multi-coloured cube into the air which exploded into a brilliance of many colours that formed a rainbow the go kart using as a route in the sky.

"WEE!" Cappy screamed as the two rode the go kart along the rainbow road "We should do this after the war is over, I can already imagine it a go karting race along a track composed if a rainbow bridge-woah!"

The Bonneter muse was stopped when Mario took a rather bad turn "We can discuss that later."

Mario steeled his eyes into the bridge as he kept driving meanwhile the other airships began flying next to him as bullet bills were fired at the duo but with expert hands Mario made quite the daring turns evading the bullet as they hit failed to hit the despairing parts of the bridge plummeting into oblivion, the airship began flying closer and rather than fire their canons instead allowed four Koopa Troopas to board the rainbow bridge driving their own vehicles as they quickly surrounded Mario and Cappy in all four directions.

On the front was a yellow Koopa Troopa riding a grinder which he turned to face Mario activating the saw in a threat on the right and left side were a red and green Koopa Troopas riding motorbikes their arms wielding lasers and finally on the back is a winger blue Koopa Troopa riding a monster truck with spikes on the front that should Mario ever hit the break the spikes well pierce him and Cappy from behind, the yellow went on first lowering the saw of the grinder at Mario's direction but the plumber turned left where the green shot his laser at him but plumber quickly spun Cappy sucking up the laser twirling it within before it was fired back at the Koopa or rather his vehicle destroying prompting the Koopa to retreat back into his shell which Mario caught and threw at the grinder's holder breaking it letting the saw fall back right unto the engine making the vehicle stop functioning and stop as Mario drove past it along with his remaining pursuers.

"AH!" the scream of the yellow and green Koopa's faded as the two fell into the clouds Mario began to increase the speed of his Kart whilst the red Koopa gave chase on the side firing his laser but using the shield her got from Funky Kong he saved his vehicle from a direct hit from the laser and kept on driving angering the Koopa that kept firing his laser but the shield blocked every time, this angered the blue Koopa who increased his own speed piercing the vehicle of his fellow Koopa who fell back retreating into his shell which he threw at Mario but the shield again saved him but it shattered upon its final usage.

The blue Koopa grinned widely "Let' see you survive the blue shell Mario."

He increased his speed to pierce the go Kart but Mario threw something back at the wheels causing the blue Koopa to take hold of the wheel to restore the balance of his vehicle being a banana peel, Mario threw a black bottle towards the chasing Koopa which exploded in the air releasing black ink into his face "Gah!"

The blue Koopa finally got the ink off of his face but was getting angrier as he got a laser of his own out to shot Mario but the plumber got another bottle out throwing it at the blue Koopa who steered his wheel to the side evading it "Nice try."

"I wasn't aiming at you" Mario revealed prompting him to look back as the bottle released an odour that brought clouds towards forming a smiling cloud with charged lightning inside it locked unto the blue Koopa who tried to steer it away but it was no use as it exploded burning his spikes and the front wheels making the vehicle halt "So long."

Mario waved at his foe as he ran past him with rainbow bridge about to give out from under the blue Koopa he had one last trick up his sleeve "We blue shells are the most fared of Koopa's when it comes to chasing."

He retreated into his shell and fluttered his wings as he disappeared into a blue blur chasing after Mario right above him "Crab we're going to be squashed!"

Cappy screamed as the blue shell was about to fall on them but something grabbed the blue shell and pulled it being Yoshi who placed the blue shell inside of his mouth growing wings of his own and flew next to Mario "Yoshi are the Bonneter's alright."

The dinosaur nodded answering Mario's question as he rode on the back of Mario's vehicle and spat the blue Koopa out into the clouds "AH!"

The scream ended with a splash of water just the rainbow bridge finally allowed Mario and his partners to finally land "Woah that was intense."

Mario got off of his vehicle stretching his back "Don't rest yet look."

Mario followed Cappy's voice seeing airships landing on the water with a row of Sledge bros on it ready for some action "Alright Yoshi we got this."

"Yes" the dinosaur steeled himself along with Mario as the bros were throwing their giant hammers at them which both heroes evaded with Mario jumping over them whilst Yoshi eating them and sprouts giant metal eggs out which he throws at the airships destroying them as the Sledge bros dived into the water for safety Mario quickly got on the go kart and drove off with Yoshi and Cappy whilst the minions were drowning and swimming to the shore.

(…)

"Apologies Lord Roy but Mario and his two companions had successfully landed on the shore and escaped us" a Sledge bros reported to Roy Koopa who still had the crystal coconut in his claws.

"It's okay everything is fine" Roy assured surprising the Sledge bro "Just make sure that no one else is coming for the rescue."

"Yessir!" the call ended.

"How is everything fine?" Wario asked "Mario and his friends are here now in this territory."

"Well it was predicated by this relic" Roy holds up the crystal coconut which shows Mario, Yoshi and Cappy standing in despair during a rain storm "I already said this item will be our key to victory did I not?"

Wario's frown soon stretched into a grin "Yes you did young lord."

"HAHAHAHA!" both laughed.

A/N: Four weeks had passed since I had seen the Mario bros movie so I had to use some inspiration from it for the story here with the rainbow bridge scene, the fight with Roy Koopa is near as the Koopalings defeats opens way to Bowser himself Mario ready to face off with the Koopaling Roy Koopa as well as learn something else. Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
