As the GS Hustle Fleet continues to soar through space, the unlikely group is currently having breakfast prepared by Sakuya Izayoi for everyone. Ruderford "Rudy" Tucker is sitting at one table with Stahn Aileron, Rutee Katrea, Alice Margatroid and Sanae Kochiya, and all of them noticed Rudy staring at his plate with a zombie-like expression.

"Tucker-san, are you all right?'' Alice asked.

Rudy snaps out from his daze, "Huh? What?'' he squawked in question.

"You've been staring at your plate like some sort of living corpse.'' Stahn pointed out, "Are you feeling well?'' he asked in concern.

Rudy shook his head, "Nah... I'm fine." he reassured, "I just had this weird dream last night and I can't stop thinking about it.'' he replied.

"What kind of dream?'' Sanae asked.

Rudy shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing spectacular... just weird.'' he replied, "I'm in this strange place where I had to listen with a stupid annoying voice, fighting some sort of dark creatures with a shield and falling towards an endless abyss.'' he explained.

Rutee raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure that's a dream? Because I think you're having nightmares." she pointed out.

"I couldn't care less if it's a dream or a nightmare but all I know that it's weird." Rudy replied before taking a bite of his food, "Though... I can't help but worry that my dream has some sort of meaning.'' he said in concern.

"Well, I suggest that you don't think about too much, you might end up getting stressed." Alice advised.

"Sure... I'll do just that.'' Rudy replied.

After finishing breakfast, a few members of the unlikely group, such as Blu the Honor, Kennedy "Kenny" MacIntosh, Gino Samuels, Darius Greg, Reimu Hakurei, Yukari Yakumo, Kanako Yasaka and Marisa Kirisime, are gathered around the control room.

"So, where are we heading this time - ze?'' Marisa asked with a grin.

Gino grabs his tablet and checks on it, "According to the info the Coalition send to us, there are some Dark Forces-related business in the Mushroom Kingdom." he replied while typing on the keyboards.

"Mushroom Kingdom? What's that?'' Blu asked out of curiosity.

"The Mushroom Kingdom is a monarchy ruled by Princess Peach. The kingdom's capital is Toad Town." Gino answered, "The Mushroom Kingdom's population is very vast, consisting of hundreds of species. Most prevalent are Toads, Koopa Troopas, Goombas, Yoshis, and Boos, with very few humans living in the Mushroom Kingdom.'' he explained further.

"So, our first mission is to go to a kingdom filled with walking mushroom caps.'' Darius pointed out with a blank look. Then suddenly, he began to lick his lips as a grin formed on his face.

Kanako noticed this, "You're seriously not thinking of eating those mushroom people." she pointed out indecorously.

"I'm no cannibal.'' Darius replied, "But if they turn out to be tasty, then I won't mind.'' he admitted with a guilty smile as Kanako took a step back away from him.

"Mushroom Kingdom, huh?'' Yukari mused, "I wonder how he has been doing?'' she said out loud.

"Who are you referring to Yukari?'' Blu asked.

Yukari smiled, "I'm talking about Mushroom Kingdom's greatest hero of all time, Mario!" she exclaimed in glee.

"President Mario is Mushroom Kingdom's greatest hero?'' Blu asked in surprise.

Yukari shook her head, "No, no, I'm talking about a different Mario.'' she clarified, "Mario is a short Italian plumber who lives in the Mushroom Kingdom, he is well-known for his jumping and combat abilities to stop Bowser from kidnapping Princess Peach and taking over the Mushroom Kingdom." she explained.

"Sounds like an awesome guy!" Gino said with a smile.

"And I don't like him already.'' Kenny grumbled.

"How did you know about this Mario person?'' Reimu asked crossing her arms.

"I met Mario during the opening of the Vanguard Academy." Yukari replied, "Mario was once a teacher at the Vanguard Academy after the Freedom Heroes disbanded and went on their own ways." she explained, "And I... was his favorite student.'' she claimed proudly, making Reimu roll her eyes.

"Well... I would like to meet him.'' Blu admitted, "I wanna know how he became this kingdom's hero.'' she said.

"You're going to love it." Yukari replied.

"So, what kind of Dark Force-related business the Coalition is referring to in this stupid kingdom?'' Kenny asked rather impatiently.

"Well... according to the info the Coalition send to us, two to three members of the Dark Forces has been spotted there.'' Gino replied, "Motives are unknown but I'm pretty sure it's not pretty.'' he stated.

Blu nodded, "Then let's get going.'' she declared.

"But where do we start?'' Darius asked.

"I suggest we meet up with Mario at Peach's Castle.'' Yukari suggested, "Knowing Mario, if the Dark Forces are involve, he is bound to step into action.'' she declared.

Gino nodded, "Then to Princess Peach's Castle it is!" he replied.

The GS Hustle Fleet arrives at the world's orbit, the unlikely group then uses the Gummi Ship to travel across the Mushroom Kingdom. After a few hours of travelling, a small airship arrives at a hilly grassland surrounded by moat where a castle known as Princess Peach's Castle is located, the castle has a tall tower supported by four more towers along the outside walls.

"Woah! That's a beautiful castle." Sanae said in awe as she stares at the castle through the ship's window.

Remilia Scarlet let's out a scoff, "Hah! My mansion is a lot bigger than that.'' she boasted.

"So, where is this stinking Italian Plumber that you speak highly of?'' Kenny asked rather rudely... as always.

Yukari checks out the window and began to look around, "There he is!" she pointed out as everyone sees a a group of six people gathered around outside the castle's courtyard, "And his friends are with him." she added with a smile.

"Better go meet them then." Patchouli Knowledge replied.

The small airship then quickly descends down the courtyard, catching the six individuals attention. The first person has a stocky build, with dark-brown hair and mustache, a round nose and has blue eyes. He wears a blue overalls over a red long-sleeve shirt, white gloves, brown shoes and a red cap. This is Mario.

He wears a yellow helmet with red stripes and goggles and a blue W similar to that on his cap, a dark blue undershirt, a short-sleeved denim jacket, yellow fingerless gloves, pink jeans, and his elf-like shoes.

The gorilla sports a burly physique; in addition to having particularly large pecs, biceps and triceps, he has brown fur, with the fur on his head being distinctly shaped to the point of looking like a hairstyle.

The sixth person is an elderly toad. He has a tan complexion and a beige cap with brown spots. He has a puffy, white mustache and like other Toads, Toadsworth is short and stout. He wears a light purple vest with gold buttons that have Toad emblems on them. Layered on top of the vest is a purple, sleeveless jacket (or vest) that hangs down like a tuxedo with gold trim. Underneath he wears white bottoms and brown, padded booties. He also wears small, black glasses and a red bow-tie. He walks around using a stick-like cane that has a brown mushroom cap on top with beige spots on it. This is Toadsworth, the steward of Princess Peach.

The small airship then landed on the courtyard catching Mario and his companion's attention, the hatch opens as the unlikely group exits the ship one by one.

Yukari smiled as she saw Mario, "Professor Mario! It's been a while!" she greeted in excitement.

Mario smiles back at her, "Ah! Yukari my-a-favorite student!" he replied in glee.

Reimu leans towards Blu, "Yukari wasn't kidding when she claims that she's this guy's favorite student.'' she grumbled.

"So, what-are-you doing here?'' Mario asked.

"We came here for the Dark Forces." Yukari answered, "The Heroes Coalition has send us an information that the Dark Forces are in the Mushroom Kingdom.'' she explained.

Mario's face turn serious, "I see.'' he muttered, "My suspicions are-a-correct, the Dark Forces are-a-behind the trouble going around here.'' he stated.

"What happened here, sir?'' Blu asked.

Toadsworth then spoke, "Oh! It's terrible!" he cried, "We were all just gathered around inside Princess Peach's castle when all of a sudden, a group of hooded figures came in and kidnaps Princess Peach!" he exclaimed in panic before noticing Darius staring at him.

"They even took Princess Daisy and Rosalina with them!" Luigi added in concern with Waluigi nodding in agreement to his rival.

"They even stole my bag of treasures that I brought from my latest treasure hunt!" Wario exclaimed angrily.

Mario crosses his arms, "We-a-here right now thinking of a plan on how to get Peachy and the others back.'' he stated.

"So, where do you guys think the strange figures took them?'' Blu inquired.

"Although we-a-know for sure that the Dark Forces are-a-here, we-a-can't rule out that Bowser is also involved in this." Mario pointed out.

Yukari frowned, "Ah... Bowser...'' she groaned.

"You know this Bow-chika-bow-wow-ser?'' Rudy asked.

Yukari nodded, "Bowser is the leader of the turtle-like Koopa race, and has been the archenemy of Professor Mario.'' she answered, "Bowser was once a member of the Freedom Heroes and fought alongside everyone during the Great Alien War, I guess he's back on his old ways after the team disbanded." she explained with a look of disbelief.

"Ook! Ook! He never learns.'' Donkey Kong mused while pounding his chest.

"If you don't mind, Mister Mario, we want to help you guys in this situation.'' Blu suggested, "The Dark Forces attacked our home world before and created a huge damage, and we don't want the Mushroom Kingdom to suffer the same thing.'' she stated.

Mario nodded, "Thank you, we-a-don't mind the-a-help!" he replied with a smile.

Toadsworth then spoke, "Excuse me, everyone.'' he called getting everyone's attention, "But is it me or that young man has been staring at me for a while...'' he pointed out, pointing his finger at Darius, "... as if he wants to EAT ME!" he cried in panic.

Kanako turns to Darius, "Your not seriously thinking of eating him, aren't you?'' she asked indecorously.

Darius shrugs his shoulders, "I can't help it... he looks so tasty.'' he admitted with a grin, making Toadsworth whimpering in fear.

"Let's just... start a plan, so we can get going." Kenny grumbled.
