Meanwhile in a campsite deep inside a forest located somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom, we see three large figure wearing hooded, obscuring their faces, having a conversation.

At the side of the camp, we see three separated wooden cage with three young women inside.

In the first cage, the first young woman has a waist-length curly hair and she has blue eyes. She wears a long pink dress with a ring at the bottom, pink panniers, short puffy sleeves, a raised collar, and a sapphire brooch set in gold. Accompanying it are a golden crown with four jewels on it, white evening gloves that reach past her elbows, and deep pink high heel pumps. This is Princess Peach, the princess of Mushroom Kingdom.

In the second cage, the second young woman has a fair skin tone, she has blue eyes and has a back-length orange hair. She wears a yellow, floor-length gown with white and orange accents. The details of the dress include puffed sleeves with white, petal-shaped openings, a white, petal-shaped collar, orange panniers at her waist, and orange frills at the opening of her dress. Her accessories include short, white gloves with petal-shaped openings, orange heels, a gold crown with red jewels on the sides, earrings, and a brooch; her jewelry is coordinated with green gems and white, petal-shaped rims. This is Daisy, the princess of Sarasaland.

In the third cage, the third young woman has a tall stature, has a fair skin tone, she has blue eyes and a waist-length platinum-blonde hair. She wears a turquoise long-sleeved gown that bares her shoulders, along with a silver crown with four gems on it, a sliver star-shaped brooch, gold star-shaped earrings, and silver high heels. This is Rosalina, a Celestial Sorceress.

Peach let's out a sigh, "Rosalina... I'm really sorry." she apologized, "You came here for a visit only to be kidnapped alongside of us, I'm really sorry." she said.

Rosalina shook her head, "It's fine." she reassured, "It's not your fault. But I had to admit, this really took me by surprise." she stated.

"Oh... I wish Luigi and the others are here to save us.'' Daisy whined.

"Don't worry, I'm pretty sure that Mario and the others are on their way here." Peach reassured, "They won't stop at nothing until we're saved.'' she declared.

As the three damsels in distress are praying and hoping that help will come, the three hooded individuals are having a conversation.

"Are your armies ready for our planned invasion?'' the first figure asked.

The second figure nodded, "All of them are ready.'' he replied.

"The Dark Forces only wanted us to create chaos but..." the first figure spoke, "... the higher-ups has given us the privilege to take over this kingdom." he claimed, "We'll divide this kingdom into three domains were each of us will become it's ruler." he explained.

The third figure nodded, "I am honored that the higher-ups allowed us to takeover this kingdom.'' he mused, "But what are we going to do with those three women?'' he questioned while jabbing a thumb at Peach and the others.

The second figure snorted, "What else? We're going to be rulers, of course, we're going to need a queen." he pointed out.

"You now sound like that, Bowser guy.'' the third figure grumbled in a deadpan tone.

The second figure shrugged, "And I don't deny it." he admitted.

The three hooded figures let's out a loud laughter but unbeknownst to them, we see a strange individual hiding behind the tree with narrowed eyes before leaving.

Bzzzttt...

Meanwhile back at Peach's Castle, everyone are currently busy doing their own agendas. Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Wario, Yukari Yakumo, Patchouli Knowledge, Sanae Kochiya, Suwako Moriya, Stahn Aileron, Rutee Katrea, Blu the Honor and Kennedy "Kenny" MacIntosh are currently inside the castle having a discussion what to do next. The rest are hanging outside the castle, Marisa Kirisame is currently having a conversation with Kamek while Mei-Ling Hong is seen sleeping on the grass. Remilia Scarlet is seen having tea under a shade of tree with Sakuya Izayoi, Youmu Konpaku is seen practicing her sword skills with Alice Margatroid, Ruderford "Rudy" Tucker and Donkey Kong watching her and Kanako Yasaka... well... she's busy having a pep talk with Darius Greg.

"Darius... I know that your hungry all the time and I know that there's a lot of things that you find tasty.'' Kanako pointed out in concern.

"Yeah..." Darius replied with a blank look.

"But you really, REALLY need to control yourself." Kanako advised, "Not everything you see that looks tasty is meant to be eaten." she stated.

"So, what do you want me to do?'' Darius asked.

Kanako let's out a sigh, "I want you... to get Mister Toadsworth out of that cauldron.'' she requested.

Indeed... we see Toadsworth inside a large cauldron filled with boiling water and flaming woods underneath the large metal pot. Apparently, Darius' curiosity and hunger got the best of him and finally decided that he needs to cook a toad to figure out how they taste like.

"Miss Kanako, I really, REALLY, truly appreciate for convincing Mister Darius not to eat me.'' Toadsworth said while Darius took him out of the cauldron, "I'm already on the verge of contemplating of whether I let him eat me or not." he stated shaking his left foot.

"Better not." Kanako replied, "You're a very important figure in this kingdom, I can't let anything happen to you.'' she pointed out.

"Well then... I'm in your debt.'' Toadsworth replied in gratitude.

Darius is then seen walking away, "Where are you going?" Kanako questioned.

"Since I can't eat Toadsworth, I'm going around town and find a Toad or two that I can eat." Darius replied before disappearing from their sight.

Kanako and Toadsworth looks at each in dread and disbelief before going after Darius, "Mister Darius! Stop!" Toadsworth cried.

"You are not allowed to eat any toads!" Kanako shouted.

Meanwhile at another side of the castle's courtyard, we see Gino Samuels, Nitori Kawashiro, Reimu Hakurei, Aya Shameimaru, Helmsley "Helmz, Helmet" D. Heyman and Flandre Scarlet gathered around a large tank. The tank is protected by thick armor plating which allows it to survive even the fiercest attacks and features dual M310 120mm Smooth-Bore High-Velocity Cannons mounted in its turret. A co-axially mounted M247T Medium Machine Gun gives it additional firepower. Smoke grenades were mounted near the turret.

"Everyone." Gino spoke, "Nitori and I present to you... the Magnum Tank 3000!" he presented with a proud smile.

"Woah! This is so cool!" Flandre cheered in awe.

Aya then began to take pictures of it, "Not exactly marvelous looking as the GS Hustle Fleet but I had to admit that it looks impressive." she commented.

Reimu crosses her arms, "What does it do?'' she asked.

Nitori then brought up a tablet, "This tank is an extremely capable vehicle, capable of defeating large numbers of enemy troops and vehicles. Since it possesses a secondary canister shell attack, it can crush infantry with ease due to its large blast radius. The armor plating has also been improved, able to absorb multiple shots from an assault cannon, and can survive a sustained hit from powerful shots." she explained with a smile.

"The coaxial machine gun has a faster firing rate and inflicts more damage per hit than most tanks, at the cost of a longer reload time." Gino stated, "It's main disadvantages is the cost it requires to be researched, its reduced effectiveness against other vehicles and its ineffectiveness against airborne units; it is also extremely slow because of its increased weaponry and armour." he pointed out.

"Still impressive." Aya admitted.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Can I drive the tank?!" Helmet volunteered in excitement with Flandre nodding in agreement.

"You can't even drive a car, Helmet." Gino pointed out, "Why the hell would I let you drive a tank?" he questioned.

"But I can go Fast and Furious Eleventy!" Helmet whined.

"There's only eight of them, you fucking idiot!" Gino pointed out.

"Once I'm done, there's going to be eleventy of them." Helmet claimed.

"That doesn't make any fucking sense!" Gino argued.

As this is going on, no one seems to noticed a strange young woman walking past them and entering the castle's front entrance. Meanwhile back inside the castle at the meeting the room, the people present are still trying to come up with a plan.

"So, aside from Bowser, who else is a constant threat in this kingdom?'' Blu asked.

Mario began to think, "Well... there-is-a Cackletta, Fawful, and King-a-Boo." he counted with the last one he mentioned sends shivers down on Luigi's spine.

"Great! Now we had to go after them one by one." Kenny complained in annoyance.

Rutee crosses her arms, "You have a better idea then?'' she asked indecorously.

"I got it!" Wario pipes in, "We go to an ancient temple!" he started as his eyes turns crazy, "We sneak up on the guard and STEAL EVERY TREASURES AND ARTIFACTS IN THE TEMPLE!" exclaimed in greed as his mouth began to drool and foam like he had rabies while everyone just stares at him weird.

"Okay... anyone would good ideas?'' Suwako asked while hiding behind Sanae as she does not like Wario's current look.

Bowser raised his hands up, "I got none." he admitted, "Seriously... where did those damn kidnappers took Peach and the other two?" he exclaimed.

"I know where." a voiced spoke.

Everyone turns around to see a young woman walking towards them. She has a has red eyes and ankle-length pale blue (almost white) hair. She wears a light brown shirt that appears as if it's been discolored from fire, and dark red sashinuki hakama that are randomly decorated with paper charms. Her hair's tied with these same red and white paper charms. The paper talismans on her hakama and hair ribbons might be wards to protect her from being burned by fire. Her shirt, which lacks such talismans, appears to have been burnt repeatedly, while the ribbons and hakama show no such wear. This is Fujiwara no Mokou.

Immortal

Fujiwara no Mokou

"What's up everyone.'' Mokou greeted with a grin.

"Fujiwara no Mokou!" Blu pointed out in shock.

"You know this new headache?'' Kenny asked in annoyance while jabbing a thumb at Mokou.

Patchouli nodded, "She's Fujiwara no Mokou, she works as a guide to people who gets lost in the Bamboo Forest of the Lost." she explained.

"But what are you doing here, Mokou-san?'' Yukari asked pointing her folded fan at the immortal.

"Well... I don't exactly recall what happened..." Mokou admitted, "... I was walking around the bamboo forest when all of a sudden a blue light shines down upon me, then the next thing I know something grabbed me and I lost conscious. When I waked up, I found myself in a deep forest east from here." she explained.

Yukari let's out a hum, "Hmm... judging from your description, I believe your another victim of the 'giant blue hand'.'' she pointed out.

"Not that thing again." Kenny grumbled.

"I see... that explains why I felt grabbed." Mokou said holding her sides.

"YOU COULD AT LEAST TRY AND WORD THAT BETTER!" Kenny exclaimed as Mokou stares at him.

Sanae let's out a cough, "Anyway... you said you know where the kidnapper took the princess and her friends?'' she asked.

Mokou then began to explain everything that she heard back at the enemy's campsite.

"What?! They-a-plan on taking-a-over the entire mushroom-a-kingdom!" Mario exclaimed in shock.

"That is not-a-right!" Luigi said.

"Yeah! Nobody takes over Mushroom Kingdom but me!" Bowser exclaimed jabbing a thumb on his chest.

"Now's not the time, Bowser." Yukari admonished, "Anyway... we now know our target's location.'' she stated, "But it's kinda odd that the Dark Forces would plan a takeover rather than creating chaos like they usually do.'' she pointed out.

"That is weird." Sanae admitted.

"So, what are we gonna do now?'' Stahn asked.

"We tell everyone to get ready, we're going to invade their campsite before they even start their takeover." Blu explained as she turns to Mokou, "Can you lead us to the campsite, Mokou?'' she asked.

Mokou nodded, "Sure, you can count on me." she replied with a grin while sending a wink towards Kenny's direction.

Kenny facefaulted before letting out a sigh, "This is gonna suck.'' he muttered.
