Episode 8: Meeting Again
Meanwhile at Peach's castle, everyone are trying to determine how to save her. "If Bowser has teamed up with several villains from another universe," says Toadsworth, "then we're in big trouble."
"Why don't you guys call that Spiderman guy?" Asks Daisy.
"We're trying." Says Mario. "But we don't have that device that allows us to access his dimension."
At that moment, a portal opens and Spiderman steps in. "I thought you were going to see that." He says. "Luckily I still have this ring."
"Awesome!" Says Mario. "You saved me another trip to the castle."
"You're welcome." Says Spiderman. "Now what has happened here before I got here?"
"Two of your enemies have attacked us and kidnapped her again." Says Mario.
"Which ones?" Asks Spiderman.
"The elf and the madman with robot arms on his back." Says Mario.
"The Green Goblin and Doc Ock." Says Spidey. "And I suppose they are bringing your princess to your archenemy right?"
"Yes." Says Mario. "It looks like they're conspiring together to take us all down!"
"Just as I thought." Says Spidey. "I saw several spiky shell dragon creatures taking off with my love interest."
"Oh really?" Says Luigi. "That means we're in double trouble!"
"What do you suppose we should do?" Asks Yoshi.
Spiderman thinks for a moment, and then comes up with a plan. "I know what to do." He says.
He gathers the heroes together to talk about how they're going to save both love interests.
Soon Luigi, Yoshi, Wario, and Waluigi are in the storage room gathering several power-ups into a bag. As they are doing so, Mario and Spiderman are talking.
"So how much does this princess mean to you?" Asks Spiderman as the two walk out of the storage room.
"Oh she's our princess and ruler of our kingdom." Says Mario. "Bowser has been kidnapping her for years now."
"So you meant to say that he keeps coming back to recapture her?" Asks Spidey.
"Correct." Says Mario. "Now your turn. Who is this love interest of yours?"
Spidey sighs as he takes off his mask. "MJ is my girlfriend. And whenever she is being threatened, I risk all I can to save her, even through dangerous circumstances."
"So how did you get your superpowers?" Asks Mario.
"Oh it's a long story." Says Spiderman. "During a school field trip, my class and I went to a science laboratory that studies all sorts of species, including spiders. When I wasn't looking, I got bit by a radioactive spider. I immediately became sick. But the next day, I discovered my powers."
"I see." Says Mario. "And what motivated you to becoming a superhero?"
Peter takes another sigh. "I lost my parents when I was young. And I was taken in by my aunt and uncle. There was a time I wanted to try out my new powers. So I signed up for a wrestling match . And I ended up winning. But despite the victory, the people wouldn't pay me the amount of cash that was promised. And then they were being robbed. As the thief was running towards the elevator, towards me. But instead of stopping him, I just let him go as payback. And I dismissed it as 'not my problem.' But that same guy went on to kill my uncle. When I found out, I was so overcome with grief and regret. And that is when I decided to use my superpowers for the good of others in order to maintain peace to my city."
"Oh." Says Mario. "So sorry to hear that."
"Yeah." Says Peter. "But before I lost Uncle Ben, he told me that 'with great power, comes great responsibility.' And I have been taking that advice to heart ever since."
"So how are you holding up." Asks the plumber.
"I'm still trying to process it." Says Peter. "But I've also been dealing with the loss of my first girlfriend."
"What happened?" Asks Mario.
"During a fight with the Green Goblin." Begins Peter. "He kidnapped Gwen Stacy and took her to the Brooklyn Bridge. And there, he dropped her off it. I tried to save her, but failed to do so."
Mario is feeling sad about hearing everything his new friend has gone through.
"And her death still haunts me to this day." Says Peter. "But I managed to carry on as the friendly neighborhood Spiderman because that's what she would have wanted me to do."
Mario puts a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"And I am doing all I can to ensure that I don't let the same fate to happen to Mary Jane Watson." Says Peter. "And I promise that your princess will be safe and sound as well."
"Thanks." Says Mario.
Luigi, Yoshi, Wario, and Waluigi all exit the storage room with their bag full. "We've got plenty of power-ups." Says Luigi.
"Awesome." Says Mario. "Now what?" He turns to Peter.
"We'll stop both of our enemies and rescue our love interests." Answers Spidey as he puts on his mask. "But first we'll go to my world to plan our strategy."
As the team prepare to do so, Spidey turns to Luigi and says. "Luigi, I have a job for you to do."
"Yes?" Asks Luigi.
Meanwhile at Bowser's Castle, Peach is being held captive once again. This time she is locked up in a prison cell. Bowser is talking to her.
"So tell me princess." He says. "What do you know about this "Spider Man" who helped rescue you?"
"I didn't know who he is." Says Peach who is really trying not to spill the beans about his teacup with Mario.
"Oh you are trying to hide something from me!" Says Bowser. "And you are going to tell me or I'll…"
Before he can threaten her, Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings are dragging MJ, who is tied up and gagged, into the prison chamber. "We got her papa." Says Jr.
"Excellent." Says Bowser as he comes over to see the redhead. "How does it feel to be trapped in another world?"
MJ glares at the Koopa King. "Take her to that cell over there." Bowser points at a cell next to Peach's.
As Mary Jane is being locked up, she sees Peach who looks at her back.
Meanwhile in New York, Luigi enter's Mary Jane's apartment through a window. He was tasked to search for evidence that might be connected with the villains' scheme. He searches around the room and turns on the light. He could see the entire apartment is a mess, with MJ's stuff lying all over the place. While going through the clothes lying around, he comes across her dress that she was suppose to wear for her and Peter's date.
Just then he sees something else. He picks it up and could see that it's Mary Jane's cellphone. He looks at it and could see several text messages from Peter asking her where she is. It was texted when she was being kidnapped. Knowing that this is an important piece of evidence, Luigi takes it and heads out the apartment through the window. While doing so, he bumps his head on the upper window part before closing it. Then he heads off to find the rest of the team.
He goes to a laboratory and knocks on the door. Waluigi opens it and lets him in. They both join Peter and the rest of the team on working on their strategy.
After finishing detailing their plan on a chalkboard, Peter asks, "Any questions?"
Yoshi raises his hand. "Yes Yoshi?" Says Peter.
"I would like to say that you are a great leader." Says the green dinosaur.
"Oh." Says Peter. "Thank you."
He then turns to Luigi and says, "Luigi, what did you find?"
"I found her cellphone." Says the green plumber as he shows it to him. "And there are several unread text messages you sent before her abduction."
Peter takes the phone and looks at it. "I see."
He then turns to the others and says. "Alright you guys got all the items we need?"
"Yes." Says Wario. "We have Super Mushrooms, Mini Mushrooms, Super Leaves, and a Starman."
Peter comes over to take a look at them. "Awesome." He says before turning to everyone.
"Alright team." He says, "Both of our loved ones are being held captive by our archenemies and it's up to us as a team to save them."
Everyone cheers to that speech. "We may be from different worlds, but that doesn't mean we can't help each other. So what do you say we save our love interests together?!"
Everyone cheer louder to that speech as Peter puts on his mask.
"Alright." Says Spiderman. "Let's do this!"
And with that, he uses the magic ring to open a portal to Mario's world. Then the team all enter.
