Mushroom Kingdom… Maybe it's no longer Mushroom Kingdom as the koopa army has invaded and caused nothing but arson and capture of other toads which causes the Kongs and the toad army to fight back against the koopa horde.

As for Princess Peach and Maisey, Maisey herself wraps a bandage on Peach's arm while hiding behind the building.

"There. I hope you're okay, princess." Maisey sighs with relief.

"Thank you, Maisey… But what about Toad and others?" Peach is unsure if she could go back to her castle in this state.

"I'm sure they're okay. Toad told me that Mario and Luigi are strong enough to fight back. Let's go." Maisey drags Peach as a kart stops them.

On a monster truck looking kart is Diddy Kong as he hooked it on Peach's Mach Bike.

"Come on! We need to leave right now!" Diddy Kong waves, only for Peach and Maisey to hastily jump on a pink bike.

"Hold on tight, Maisey." Peach said while revving her bike engine.

"Okay!" Maisey wraps her arms while staying behind Peach.

Finally, the bike takes off as Peach is watching some toads and Kongs being taken away to Bowser's airship, leading Peach to lower her head in guilt.

"Geez… Is Bowser always like this? I mean, he couldn't take no for an answer, couldn't he?" Diddy Kong is displeased with Bowser, knowing what's going to happen in the future.

"No. But what about Mario, Luigi, Toad and Donkey Kong?"

"Heh. Donkey's a strong guy! He and I go way back when he was the champion of the battle arena. Anyway, enough talk and let's go." Diddy Kong said while putting the pedal to the metal.

This gives Peach more hope as Mario, Luigi, Toad and Donkey Kong are willing to fight back without giving up.

"Please come back… Okay?"

Peach's Castle

The bedroom is completely wrecked by Bowser as the Mario bros, Donkey Kong and Toad are now in peril.

But in Toad's case, he's not only outnumbered, but he's about to make his final day worth saving some friends.

Finally, Toad charges with a halberd while yelling as the same goes for the koopa army meaning Basilisx is prepared for this moment for a single toad to face against his opponents.

As for Bowser, Mario and Luigi are no longer moving as Donkey Kong grunts with his chest being crushed by his own rib cage.

"So, are you boys done yet?" Bowser can see Mario and Luigi lose consciousness as he laughs, pleased that he was able to end Mario and Luigi's lives without any struggle. "GWAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, isn't it just wonderful!? I finally won against a couple of bushy faced clowns! Now it's your turn, monkey." Bowser is prepared to finish Donkey Kong off by letting go of his chest while raising his foot.

As Mario and Luigi are freed, both of them open their eyes, watch Toad struggling to fight back against a horde, even Basilisx has the upper hand in clawing Toad but was blocked by a handle of a halberd.

After the bros nod, then dash and kick a bunch of koopas by putting one out of the shell as a koopa shrieks and then gets hit by a green shell as a koopa horde is being knocked out like bowling pins by a shell.

This results in both Toad and Basilisx to be surrounded by absolutely nothing.

"Guys!" Toad cheers.

"NO!" Basilisx yells while dashing towards Mario and Luigi.

"Luigi, now!" Mario nods while giving Luigi the signal.

"Okay, bro!" Luigi slides in front of Mario while getting the signal.

As Mario jumps onto Luigi's back and spin like a drill, Luigi hops and grab Mario's legs which causes him to spin, and finally drill kick Basilisx right in the chest, only to smash his armour and fall through the hole of Peach's castle, causing him to gasp with surprise, realising that Mario and Luigi, the humans from another world, are no jokes when it comes down to fighting back against their ordeals.

"Ah… So I finally lost… Hmph. No matter, my honour code shall remain. My friend… I cannot avenge your death…" Basilisx finally admits his defeat after being beaten by Mario and Luigi, causing him to fall to his doom.

Finally, Basilisx is no longer a part of the world again.

After Basilisx's defeat, Mario and Luigi charged towards Bowser as Luigi hops as high as he could, giving Mario the chance to grab Luigi's leg and run onto Bowser's shell and then turn upside down.

Then bonking on Bowser's head with Luigi as Luigi himself cries out of hitting his own head after collapsing along with Mario and Bowser.

"Mario? Luigi?" Donkey Kong gasps with surprise after witnessing the Mario bros working together like they did against Donkey Kong himself.

"Yep. That's us! Heh. Does he really think he can beat us? Hmph. That overgrown lizard should think twice before trying to hurt our princess." Mario sneers at the moment Bowser caused.

"Ow… So that means it's over, huh?" Luigi asks.

"Yeah. With Bowser and his army knocked out, it's time we get out of this joint." Toad said while dropping his halberd and pulled Donkey Kong up off the floor.

Mario and the group nod as they leave Peach's bedroom and dash towards their vehicles in order to leave the kingdom for good.

As for Bowser, he's left in this badly damaged castle along with a turning town, causing him to growl while picking himself up.

"How… Beaten by a couple of humans… Outsmarted by them… Grr…" Bowser growls after realising that he's actually no match for Mario and Luigi for real this time.

"M- My lord! Thank goodness you're okay! It's Captain Basilisx! He's-"

"Gone? Yeah." Bowser can see Kamek arriving after being knocked out by Toad and Maisey earlier. "Kamek."

"What is it, Lord Bowser?" Kamek raises his head out of curiosity.

"Why can't I win?" Bowser asked calmly while lowering his head.

"Huh!? Of course you can! Maybe a direct approach didn't work, but what about if we lure these humans and their friends towards our kingdom, and that way, the princess will be yours! That or let them out of her sight!" Kamek reveals a plan for Bowser while encouraging him to never give up.

This leads to Bowser laughing, realising that Kamek is giving him something that'll benefit his future, taking advantage of those who claim to be the protectors.

"Kamek, I know you have something in mind that can work. But you're right… Let's lure those out of the princess' sight and then we'll capture her, take her to my castle and then the Mushroom Kingdom is ours." Bowser is all for Kamek's plan as he stands back up with a wider grin.

Finally, Bowser is standing while watching the burning kingdom as well as the airships taking those away from their homes as prisoners.

"Koopa pack! I have a plan!" Bowser announced as he's well and truly prepared for plan B.

This means Bowser is never giving up after realising that there's still a plan to get the princess from the Mushroom Kingdom's clutches as Bowser views it.

With the koopa army cheering, Kinosen is sitting on the barn where Toad works at, frowning at the idea of Bowser jumping back and forth from losing to those he's up against.

"Tch. You never give up, do you? Why did you have to make things difficult, Moku?" Kinosen sighs while watching the koopa army cheering for their king rising back up. "If only you're executed from our kind…"

Kinosen is seeing both sides that are hope and grim.

On the hopeful side, the Mushroom Kingdom will evolve with the princess rising up to the top of the world.

On the grim side, Bowser takes over the kingdom after marrying the princess and will forever be ruled by a tyrant like him.

"Mario, please, do something about this problem. But what am I saying, I'm just an observer after all." Kinosen concluded.

Finally, he turns around, vanishing as no one saw him.

Kong Village , Cranky Kong's Palace

Hiding together in a Palace that is now full of karts, the toads, the Kongs and the humans are safely hiding from a koopa army after the attack on Mushroom Kingdom.

As exhausting as it is, Mario couldn't help but stress after the incident with Bowser's invasion, leading him to sit on the ground on his backside.

"Mama mia…"

"It's okay, bro. We made it." Luigi pat Mario's shoulder while helping him out.

"But there are others that are taken away to Bowser's kingdom." Mario points out while panting.

Luigi couldn't help but agree with Mario after witnessing what's been going on earlier.

Luigi then leaves Mario to have some time as he's approaching Peach and Cranky Kong.

"How's Peach?" Luigi asks.

"Hrmm… It seems that her injury is not great as she suffered a broken bone. Princess, I'll send Wrinkly Kong to aid your arm." Said Cranky Kong while letting go of Peach's arm.

"Thank you, chief." Peach is relieved to see more help is on the way.

"I guess we won't be coming back to your kingdom, huh?" Luigi asks.

"Oh, we will. We just need to wait till tomorrow for Bowser to leave and then we'll start a new construction for our kingdom." Peach sits down while looking at Luigi. "Hey, Luigi. Tell me, how do you feel when Mario and I are together?"

"Me? Well… It's not my place to answer, but I'm glad that Mario has you with him. When you and Mario get together, I'll cheer you on." Luigi pulls up his thumb while smiling at Peach.

Peach then looks at the night sky as the stars are covering the dark blue sky.

"You know, Luigi, I want to be as brave as you are. You and Mario have shown how capable you are against Bowser. Unlike me." Peach opens her mouth as she lowers her head in depression.

"You see, I'm not as brave as my older brother. He does a lot whereas I cower. But he's the reason he gave me courage. That's why I want to share that burden because he's suffering." Luigi wants to do what his brother does.

All Luigi wants is to make Mario happy as Mario doesn't want to let Luigi down.

Leaning onto Luigi's shoulder, Peach is starting to feel sleepy after what happened to her and her friends earlier.

"Luigi, what we need to do is to contact other kingdoms and convince them to help us stop Bowser's reign of terror…" Peach yawns as she closes her eyes.

"Okay, Pe- Hm?" Luigi stops to see Peach snoozing and then turns around as an old lady Kong arrives with bandages and sticks. "Oh! Sorry about that!"

"Oh, no need, Mr. Luigi, now I must remove the old bandages and place those to keep her bone straight. It may wake her up, but it'll help her move her arm like normal."

"Thanks, ma'am." Luigi lowers his green cap with a calm smile.

"Please call me Wrinkly." Wrinkly Kong bows and then crouches down to lift Peach's arm and place the sticks on after removing the bandages Maisey put on.

As Mario watches Peach and others being safe, he moves his eyes towards Toadsworth who was watching in the same direction.

"Toadsworth?"

"Master Mario. I know you still hate me for my actions, but if I had listened to the princess' warnings, then we wouldn't have lost our people. I'm sorry." Toadsworth apologised.

To Mario he knows Toadsworth is guilty for all the things he did, but he knows that Toadsworth actually regrets it.

"It's okay. But we can't be sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves. If anything, we should focus on our future. We still have the construction workers with us, right?" Mario stands up as Toadsworth knows what Mario's been saying.

"Of course! Ahem! On the plus side, we have a sharper increase of morale with you, master Luigi, master Donkey and his family. Master Mario, please be careful."

"Will do, Toadsworth." Mario waves as he can tell that Toadsworth is worried, given that their first impression is absolutely horrendous.

At least they warmed up as Mario accepted Toadsworth's apology.

With Toad and Maisey telling Donkey Kong their side of the story, Donkey Kong sighs while rubbing his head.

"Man, you guys know how to act smart like the Mario brothers. I'm just a muscular ape that only fights with fists and barrels."

"I mean, everyone has different ways of fighting, maybe you can rely on someone a little bit more. Well not Bowser, because his army was his backup, which is cheating." Maisey said, shrugging her shoulders.

"I agree. Relax, Donkey, when Bowser is without his army, you can kick his butt!" Toad swings his leg while showing himself off.

"Toad, mushroom girl. Thanks." Donkey Kong chuckles.

Arriving is Mario as he sits down by a couple of toads and Donkey Kong.

"So, I guess this is it, huh?" Mario asks.

"Not really. Princess has another plan that can give us the advantage to create a new Mushroom Kingdom. It sucks that our town is completely wrecked, but I know I ain't giving up!" Toad stands up while raising his fists, hyped for the new style of Mushroom Kingdom.

"I'm just a farmer and the farmer's daughter, so maybe I can be of assistance." Maisey raises her hand as she accepts helping the kingdom.

"Wait, you are?" Mario asks while looking at Maisey.

"Yep. I'm Maisey, the co-owner of the farm. Dad and I worked there as a way to get a proper job as well as actual payment without constantly punching blocks." Maisey introduces herself to Mario.

"I see. Do you sell any milk?" Mario asks.

"Yeah."

"Eggs?"

"Both chickens and, on rare occasions, dinosaurs."

"Dinosaurs?" Mario halts after hearing that phrase.

"Yep. They're different to how you humans view them and they're real!" Maisey reveals as it surprises Mario even more.

"Huh. This world really does bring some surprises." Mario rubs his head, knowing that something unbelievable is actually believable in this world. "Anyways, what about butter, flour and meat?"

"Yes, yes and yes. Although the meat depends if they're fresh." Maisey answers.

"Wow. It seems I found a relatively normal toad."

"Yeah. We're just helping ourselves as well as other people. If Maisey's products go global, then imagine how many coins we will get!?" Toad is thinking about what money and popularity will become of Maisey as if it's a good thing.

"Huh. That's pretty cool." Donkey Kong is surprised to hear the whole story.

"Yeah. Wow… I mean Luigi and I are plumbers and we feel the same way as you and Toad." Mario said to Maisey.

"Really!? That's cool! Someday, I'll call you if there's some pipe problems at my place!" Maisey jumps with surprise as she meets her match.

"Yeah. Here's the card. It's 929-55-MARIO and you'll hear my bro Luigi say "Thank you for calling Super Mario Bros. Plumbing, it's-a me Luigi!" Something like that." Mario chuckles, even handing his card to both Donkey Kong and Toad.

"Oh, that reminds me, we need to have phones from the Kongs." Toad remembers that he, Mario and those from the Mushroom Kingdom lacked the phones they needed.

"You're right." Mario agreed as he stood up as well as Toad, Maisey and Donkey Kong.

Before they head towards Cranky Kong, they stop as they see Peach standing up while yawning, tired as she wants to bring out a speech.

"Are you sure, Peach?" Luigi asks.

"I need everyone to listen before we get started tomorrow." Peach nods as she can tell that Luigi is worried.

Rubbing a couple of sticks on her arm under the bandages, Peach can see why she's been aided by those who're worried about her.

Then she clears her throat.

"Everyone. May I have your attention. Today was a chaotic day after what happened yesterday, but I'll tell you all how I feel. While I'm glad that all of you are working to keep the kingdom intact, but in truth… I'm actually angry. Not angry because of Bowser's attack, but because all of you are shown to be selfish people who do things in the name of a princess such as I." Peach reveals her truth as she feels nothing but contempt towards the Mushroom Kingdom kind.

As the toads are lowering their heads, realising that their needs have caused the princess to run away as well as feeling angry that they did her dirty for most of her life as a princess.

"But I'm glad that you're all worried about me. Without all of you, we wouldn't have the outsiders and the Kongs saving us. We used to have another outsider, but she was unfortunately taken away from the world by Bowser. I may be a hypocrite, we mustn't kill Bowser, but have him held accountable for all the things he did to us and make him repent for his sins. But before doing that, we must show other kingdoms that we're not weak, we're not useless and we're nobody's chew toy! We are the Mushroom Kingdom and having the Kongs' aid proves that we're no longer the weakest! Also, I'm not a princess, just a normal human being who is willing to improve this kingdom as a whole." Peach holds her crown while showing who she really is, knowing that she's never a princess to begin with.

To the toads' surprise, they witnessed not just a princess, but a normal woman who lived with them since before she was born and was willing to take leadership thanks to those who saved her life.

"With Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Kongs working together, let us join them in bringing back the kingdoms and overthrow Bowser once and for all!" Peach calls as many toads are murmuring.

But a hand was raised quickly.

"Yeah! Let's work together, even the construction workers agreed with the princess' request! We can create something new and exciting for the new generations!" Maisey called while excited to see what the world will be like as it motivates some of the toads.

Another hand was raised.

"I'm Carol! And I agree with this sentiment! I found an old café that is still usable and I was thinking about running this place!" Carol, a toad girl, calls while wanting to continue the work that is old and obsolete for this kingdom.

Another hand was raised.

"Yeah! I wanna make what the Kongs are making!"

And another hand.

"I wanted to travel to other kingdoms with a quicker transport!"

Finally, the toads are cheering for more work and new stuff to be made as it surprises Peach, even though she was caught off guard while seeing what the toads have been dreaming this whole time.

Then she smiles as she's dropping tears, joyed that the toads are actually agreeing with Peach for once.

"Everyone… Thank you."

Finally, Mario and his group are pleased to see Peach smiling once again as happiness is coming back after years of anger, pain and sadness.

This led to the group to start a new day by tomorrow and begin creating Mushroom Kingdom as their new home.

Mario, Luigi, Peach and Toad are now back in their hopeful phase as they're no longer worried about the possible future that's going to become Bowser's and make it their own.

Tomorrow will be the start of the Mushroom Kingdom's rebirth.

2005 September 18th

Unknown

Inside an eastern themed building, it appears to be a room where a bunch of people are covered by the curtains of their triangle hats on their faces as well as the robes and layers of clothing like tops, gloves and socks, making them anonymous.

Even an unknown silhouette is covered by a curtain and kneeling in front of the curtain is a purple man who appears to be an alien, a boy who appears to be a royal prince and a princess in an amber dress as well.

"It seems that your nation's proposal is also rejected by the Mushroom Kingdom. They're doing all of the work themselves without your help, but instead with the Kong Village."

"I'm aware of that. It's because of an influence from the outsiders." The prince said as he calmly lowered his head in respect.

"So, it's possible to marry the princess of Sarasaland, is it?" A purple alien asked while begging.

"Bleh! I told you time and time again, Tatanga, I'm not going to be your bride! I'll never find anyone and I'll make sure my sister is the heiress of the throne, so you can forget it!"

"What!? E- Excuse me!"

A katana stops Tatana as he shrieks, revealed to be one of the faceless group in black.

"Dare to go near our royal leader and you'll be executed." A deep voiced anonymous one said calmly.

"It's okay, Qinglong. It is not my decision to determine whether or not the daughters of the emperor marry an outsider such as yourself. Daisy Flora, I'm also aware of your concerns about your needs and Azalea Flora's safety, but if neither you or Azalea find another kingdom to collaborate with, then the collapse will begin and the monster will show up to take over." Said the curtain.

"You mean Bowser from the Darkland? I heard that Princess Peach handled Bowser like a badass, so I won't have a problem kicking his butt!" The princess, Daisy Flora, said while punching her palm. "As for the collapse, there was never a natural collapse as someone is planning on doing so, looking at you, pervy alien. As for Bowser, if he lays his finger on my sister, then I'll have no choice but to break every single bone of his and his army."

"Oh, how enthusiastic you are. Prince Haru Spring and Princess Daisy Flora, I'll have you both dismissed from our meeting."

"Hey, I'm the princess of the empire, so I should be taking orders." Daisy chuckles while standing up along with Haru.

"Understandable. Tatanga, you must stay." The curtain said.

"What? Why?" Tatanga asked.

"Because your misbehaviour is what leads to Sarasaland's downfall."

Finally, the door closes as Haru sighs and Daisy moves her blue eyes towards a blue haired prince like Haru.

"Man, tough luck for not getting Peach. But it's also shocking that she has an outsider as her date. Ain't I jealous?" Daisy walks around, realising that Peach has found someone that isn't Haru.

"Well, it is what it is. There's plenty of women to find, whether they're free to say no." Haru takes that loss too kindly as he's not mad.

"But the outsiders… How did they manage to get the Kongs to come with?" Daisy asked while thinking about what luck the Mushroom Kingdom has.

"Who knows. But I'm interested to see those two. Way more interesting outsiders than Tatanga." Haru said as he leaves Daisy alone. "Oh, and Daisy. I hope your sister and your empire is safe."

"That's it? At least find something better to say before leaving." Daisy sighs with disappointment as Haru gives her the lamest thing to say.

Daisy then watches over the humans of the kingdom as she sighs, remembering travelling to the outside world as it resembles Feudal China.

" Chai Kingdom… A place overlooked by my father, huh. I guess that's why they're less noticeable and also not even noticing me. Eh, whatever. At least they're at peace." Daisy shrugs her shoulders and then walks past an old man who appears to be a monk with a hand on a stick. "Oh, sorry about that, Mr. Daoshi."

Ignoring Daisy, a monk enters a temple, leading Daisy to sigh and shrug her shoulders and then leaves the kingdom without a word as she frowns.

Back inside the temple, a group of faceless people bow to their knee and foot as they greet the man in this kingdom.

"Welcome back, Daoshi."

A monk waves his arm and then goes to his knees in front of a curtain of a silhouette.

"So, how's the meeting going?" The monk asks.

"It's actually scary when you think about it. I'm unsure if I could run the kingdom if you're gone." The curtain admitted while sounding calm.

The monk understands as he lifts his head as he can see how the curtain feels.

"I'm sure you can someday, Minmei."
