The Skies Above the Mushroom Kingdom:

Mario and Luigi were sitting below deck. Mario was looking through the suitcase while Luigi was trying to come up with a plan of escape. Mario looks up at Luigi. "Don't worry little bro. I'll protect you. You don't have to worry about getting hurt."

Luigi smiles. "Thanks Mario, you're the best."

"Hey, What are brothers for."

There was another moment of silence before Bowser's voice came over the intercom. "Hey! You! Down there in the ship's belly! Mario and... what's-yer-name! Green Guy! Mario! And...Mr. Green Mario Brother Guy! Look alive down there, will you two? We're about to arrive in the Beanbean Kingdom! Get ready and report to the deck! Pronto!"

As they walk, they see Koopas training and preparing for who knows what. They pass a group of Koopas who are taking pictures and one notices Mario. "Hey you two mustache bros! Your about to enter the Beanbean Kingdom, so you have your passports with you, right?"

Mario and Luigi look at each other before speaking in unison. "Passports?"

The Koopa looks at them. "Well, it looks like you got a suitcase there so open it up, and I'll check for you."

Mario opens his suitcase as the Koopa goes rustling through it. "Why you got them right here! These are your passports." Says the Koopa as he holds them up.

He then notices something and takes a closer look at the pictures. "But...Hey! There aren't any photos! These won't get you in the Beanbean Kingdom! No sir, no way, no how!"

Mario and Luigi look at each other again with wide eyes. "Oh no!"

The Koopa raises his hand to keep them calm. "Don't wig out about it, though. If we take your pictures here, you should be just fine. Since the Great Bowser has called you to deck, I'll let you two cut in line."

Mario and Luigi smile as Mario goes to stand on the mat. "Now stay still. Ready? Say CHEEP CHEEP!"

Mario does his victory pose as the camera flashes. Luigi looks at this with interest before standing on the mat. Just as the flash went off, Luigi made a ridiculous face while waving his arms. Mario and several Koopas doubled over in laughter. "Great! I've taken passport photos for both of you! Aren't we all heppy now? Happy all around!"

Mario smiles as he continues to head towards the deck. A Koopa stops him. "Hey! Mario! Remeber me? I was the one who you helped back in the Mushroom Kingdom!"

Mario nods as he recognizes the Koopa. "Glad to see you've made it. You're welcome."

"Thanks! The name is Koopin. It's nice to be nice. Hey! Um...can I come with you guys to the deck? I hate having to work below deck and all. Please?"

Mario thinks for a second as he looks at Luigi. Luigi just shrugs as Mario finally turns to him. "Sure, why not?"

Koopin gives an excited whoop before following them. After passing by an angry Koopa and having barrel trouble, they manage reach the area just below deck. There was a blockade of cargo in there way. "Argh!"

Koopin went to talk to the frustrated Koopa and came back with bad news. "We need to move the cargo since some idiot put it there. The crane should do it. Many of us like to call it Mr. Pinch since its powerful vice grip can make a very painful pinch. There should be a switch over there."

Mario nods as Luigi went over to look at the cargo. Mario flips the switch as Mr. Pinch glides over to the cargo. It stops above Luigi and grabs hold of Luigi's pants. "HOhohoho!"

Luigi is lifted by the seat of his pants up to deck. Everyone stares at this with mixed emotions. Finally a random Koopa speaks up. "Ok...THAT looks uncomfortable. I guess he was mistaken as cargo. Looks dumb enough. HEY! Why don't we use him as a look out!"

After there were agreements all around, Koopin sighs as his shell opens up. Two huge crane like claws come out and began to lift the cargo and move it. Mario was amazed. "How are you doing that and why didn't you do it earlier?"

Koopin gives a friendly smile. "I am a Techno Koopa equipped with state-of-the-art technology. I didn't do it earlier because I don't really wish to waste energy and equipment needlessly when there can be another way."

"Ah..."

Soon Koopin and Mario made their way to the deck to see Luigi with binoculars and Bowser waiting. Bowser looks over at Mario. "We will be arriving at the Beanbean Kingdom border in a few so you better prepare yourself. When we arrive, you better make it quick! I want to kidnap Princess Peach as soon as possible!"

Mario nods and ignores him, rolling his eyes in the process. Koopin, on the other hand, applauds him on his leadership. Up above them, Luigi spots something and begins to freak out in a near comical way. "HOOHOHA!"

Bowser, Koopin and Mario all look up at him as Bowser frowns. "Eh? What's with all the hoopla?"

Suddenly a shot hits Koopin in the back, sending him into Bowser. His shell sparks and fizzles which is not a good sign. "Ah! My shell! It shorted out!"

Bowser was thrown back and had hit the crane which caused Luigi to fall onto him. He stands up and growls. "RAWR! What now?"

Suddenly there was a being in front of the cruiser in a flying chair. She was ugly. She had a green face, pink eyes, purple hair which was positioned weirdly in buns on her head, and a rather dark purple dress. Her cackle wasn't any better. As her voice rang out, Mario thought his ears were going to start bleeding. "EEYAH HA HA HA! Who would have thought you'd catch up to the Great Cackletta in even a hundred million years."

Bowser grew furious as he pointed an accusing claw at her. "You! You're the fiend who stole Peach's voice! How dare you pull off such a cool evil plan?"

"EEYAH HA HA HA! Ooh, I Dare!"

Mario felt insulted and he could tell Luigi did too. Bowser releases a low growl as Koopin stood back, cowering behind Mario. Upon seeing the scene in front of her, Cackletta lets out another cackle. "Now I'm going straight back to the Beanbean Kingdom so my next plan can take root. I have no time to chat with the likes of you. Fawful! Take care of this!"

They soon realized that there was another green-faced being there. He was slightly shorter than Mario with a red cloak, swirl glasses, evil grin, and a strange helmet. Cackletta took off as Bowser shouts a her to hold it. Fawful then approaches them and unleashes a very high pitch laughter that could shatter glass. "Eeeyah ha ha ha ha! I am the great Cackletta's most best pupil, who is named Fawful! I am here, laughing at you. If you are giving us the chase just to get your silly princess's voice, then you are idiots of foolishness." Great! An evil being who doesn't know proper grammar. "Princess Peach's voice will soon be the bread that makes the sandwich of Cackletta's desires! And this battle will be the delicious mustard on that bread! The mustard of your doom." Now I'm hungry.

Fawful then shoots Bowser and sends him back into the crane again. Koopin rushes to him and begans to check him for injuries. Mario and Luigi rush up behind him. When Koopin gave them the okay signal they all turn to see that Fawful was gone. Suddenly a high pitch laugh is heard behind them as they jump and turn to see Fawful. Mario, Luigi and Koopin prepares for battle as Fawful laughs. "Next it is the turn of you!"

He shoots at Mario and Luigi as they jump. Koopin shouts to Mario. "Get him grounded, then we can truly take him!"

Mario nods as he jumps up and hits Fawful's helmet, causing it to crack. Luigi get's the idea and follows Mario's example. "OooF! Have your readiness for this!"

Fawful then shoots at Mario then Luigi in a quick rapid fire that almost caught them off guard. "Fink-rat!!" Fawful shoots at Luigi who gets knocked back. "Luigi!"

Mario was seeing red now as he jumps up to Fawful and delivers a powerful smash to the psychopath's helmet. The helmet shatters as Koopin tackles the now grounded Fawful from behind. Koopin sticks with shellshocks as Mario and Luigi jumps on him, all avoiding his weak tackle attacks. Mario delivers a fierce blow to his head which causes him to fall over. "Oooof. Uhnnrgh... How can Fink-rats like you beat such an awful nasty as me? Headgear!" His headgear comes down as good as new and reattaches to his head. "I have fury! Bah! Now is when the talking stops! I do not have time to stop and smell foul roses such as you! One fell swoop is the way I will deal with you Fink-rats! Eeeyah ha ha ha ha!"

Fawful then sends wave after wave of shots down on the three and the Koopa Cruiser. The cruiser takes significant damage as it begans to shake and smoke. Still laughing, Fawful leaves. Mario, Luigi, and Koopin took one look at each other and began to panic as the cruiser erupts, sending the entire crew plummeting to the land below.
