Chapter 3: Mushroom Kingdom and Hyrule Unite
*At Princess Peach's castle*
Toad lead Mario and Luigi into the castle where Princess Peach was waiting.
Princess Peach- Mario Brothers, thank you for coming on such short notice.
Mario- Our pleasure, princess. What is Bowser up to this time?
Princess Peach- We got word that Bowser is on his way here with a huge army of piranha plants, but he was also seen visiting Ashley the witch for a potion. Bowser might've used whatever potion he got from her to improve those piranha plants.
Mario- I'm sure Luigi and I can handle whatever Bowser has cooked up for us.
Toad- You mean like when Bowser made those force field generators and you had to have Donkey Kong fight them instead?
Mario- They're piranha plants. Luigi and I can beat them easily with the fire flowers.
Luigi- Good point there, Mario. I think I have two left.
Mario and Luigi each ate a fire flower and turned into Fire Mario and Fire Luigi. Suddenly, there was a hug noise coming from outside and the ground began to shake.
Fire Luigi- Looks like Bowser is here already!
Fire Mario- Come on, Luigi! Let's get to work!
Fire Mario and Fire Luigi ran outside and saw the castle gate being destroyed by piranha plants that were 10 times their normal size.
Fire Mario- Here they come! Let's give them a taste of pasta power!
Fire Mario and Fire Luigi shot their fireballs at the giant piranha plants, but when the smoke cleared, nothing happened to them.
Fire Luigi- What's going on?! These piranha plants should've become crispy by now!
Bowser flew in while riding his flying clown car.
Bowser- Hahahaha! I knew you would resort to your fire tricks! So I asked Ashley to make these piranha plants fireproof! No matter how much fire you throw at them, it won't help in the slightest!
A piranha plant jumped for Fire Luigi, but Fire Luigi jumped out of the way. Then another bit Fire Luigi from behind and changed him back to normal Luigi. Luigi was knocked to the ground and surrounded by five more piranha plants.
Fire Mario- Luigi! Hold on! I'm coming!
Before Fire Mario could get there, another piranha plant got in Fire Mario's way, blocking him from helping Luigi.
Bowser- Looks like you got other things to worry about, Mario. Piranha plants, lunch!
The piranha plant was about to attack Fire Mario, but suddenly its stem was completely cut. Fire Mario looked to where the stem of that piranha plant had been, and standing there, silhouetted by the sunset, was Link of Hyrule, holding the Master Sword. Link worked furiously, cutting more stems attached to some of the fireproof piranha plants; focusing his efforts on the plants surrounding Luigi.
Fire Mario- Link…?
Link- Hey, Mario.
Luigi- That's the swordsman you met today?
Fire Mario- Yes, but what about…
Bowser- Hey! What's this swordsman in the green dress doing here?!
A piranha plant tried to attack Link from behind, but Link dodged and stabbed the top of its head with the Master Sword.
Link- Turning your plants into mulch! They might be fireproof, but their not confetti proof! Mario, let me handle this.
The piranha plants all focused their attacks on Link instead of the Mario Brothers, but Link was too fast for them as the Master Sword cut through each of their stems like a weed whacker. Link managed to destroy all of the fireproof piranha plants and Fire Mario and Luigi were very impressed with Link's skill with the sword.
Luigi- Wow! Incredible!
Fire Mario- That was the most impressive skill with a sword I have ever seen!
Link- There is a reason why I was chosen to wield the Master Sword.
Bowser jumped out of his flying clown car, swung on a spiked ball attached to a chain, and landed near Link, Fire Mario, and Luigi.
Bowser- You'll pay for that you swordsman in a green dress! I'll crush you flat and grind you into powder!
Fire Mario- Well, now that there are no more fireproof monsters, Luigi and I can join in. You ready for this, Link?
Link- Let's kick his ass!
Bowser swung his spiked ball around, but the three jumped and avoided it. Luigi got behind Bowser and tried to grab his tail, but Bowser lifted his it before Luigi could grab it.
Bowser- You think I'm dumb enough to fall for the same trick you used when you were with that oversized monkey?
Bowser slammed his tail against the ground and almost hit Luigi.
Fire Mario- Good thing I still have my fire power.
Fire Mario shot a few fireballs at Bowser. Bowser was hurting from the fireballs, but not so much that he couldn't strike back.
Bowser- I'll show you real fire power!
Bowser used his fire breath at Fire Mario, but Link blocked it with his shield. Then Link took aim and hit Bowser with a sword beam. Bowser got annoyed and swung his spiked ball at Link and knocked him to the ground. Link got up and began charging the Master Sword.
Link- So that's how you want to play it.
Bowser swung the spiked ball at Link again, but Link chopped the spiked ball in half with one swing.
Bowser- Holy shit! What was that?!
Link- It's called the Triforce Cut. The Master Sword was created by the gods themselves and I can use their power for this attack.
Bowser growled in anger and refused to give up. He charged for Link, but Link countered with a sword spin attack. Then Fire Mario shot a fully charged fireball at Bowser and knocked him against the wall.
Bowser- Darn it! I can't take much more. You and this swordsman in the green dress win this round, but I'll be back!
Bowser crawled into this flying clown car and escaped, flying off into the sunset.
Link- Good riddance.
Fire Mario- Link, what about getting that treasure back before sunset?
Link- I sent my horse, Epona, to go to Hyrule castle without me. I just hope she got to Hyrule castle in time.
Suddenly, Link saw Epona rushing towards him and he saw Princess Zelda riding Epona.
Link- Princess Zelda? What are you doing here?
Zelda- When Epona arrived at Hyrule Castle and you weren't riding her, I feared something happened.
Link- Did she make it before Darunia's deadline?
Zelda- Thankfully, she did. And now the risk of a civil war is over. But why did you send Epona back to Hyrule without you?
Link- I would've never have gotten the treasure back from Ganondorf if it wasn't for my new friends. And when I saw them in danger, I had to help.
Fire Mario- Thank you, Link.
Link- No problem. If you, your brother, or the Mushroom Kingdom need my help, just give me a shout out.
The End
