  Bowser slides back, his claws digging into the stone of his castle roof, before Bowser falls forward, collapsing as he lets out a groan.
  Mario and Luigi’s Starman power-ups wear off as they stare down at Bowser, determined to free Peach.
  Mario steps forward, a Fire Flower clenched in his right hand. “Alright Bowser, let-a Peach go.”
  Luigi steps forward as well, an Ice Flower clenched in his left, “Yeah, let-a the princess go!”
  Bowser growls under his breath, before slamming his fist against the stone as he stands up. “Fine, you can take her. You know I’ll be back, though. But for now…”
  A large portal opens up behind Bowser as Kamek appears next to the koopa king. Kamek waves his wand briefly, teleporting the cage containing Peach onto the rooftop, which immediately opens up as Bowser and Kamek escape into the portal. “I’ll be back, plumbers!”
  The portal closes behind them.
  Peach lifts her dress off the ground as she walks out of the cage. “Thank you, Mario.” Peach gives Mario’s nose a quick peck, the plumber’s face instantly flooding bright red, before she looks at Mario’s green-clad brother. “Thank you as well, Luigi” Luigi’s face turns red as he rubs the back of his neck nervously, a small smile on his face.”
  Peach smiles at the two plumbers before she asks, “Shall we return to the Mushroom Kingdom? I’ll bake a delicious cake for you two.”
  Mario and Luigi nod excitedly before Mario pulls out Tanooki Leaves for them, which they activate and jump off the roof, fluttering down the side of Bowser’s castle as the sun starts to set.
----------
  The next morning, Mario and Luigi were lead into the main hall by a Toad guard. Peach looks away from Toadsworth when she hears Mario call to her, and the princess stands up, walking over to the brothers. “Did Toad give you two the entire message?”
  Mario nods, before setting his hand on his chin. “So, a unknown beam of-a light appeared on top of-a Bowser’s castle and the-a weather started acting-a strange?”
  Peach nods in agreement. “Yes, that appears to be the situation. I was hoping we could go as soon as you two arrive, so we can investigate it.”
  Mario nods, then says, “We-a grabbed a few power-ups on-a the way here, so let’s-a go!”
  Luigi nods, a bit nervous, before saying, “Okie-dokie.”
----------
  Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Toadsworth hop out of a pipe, located under cover a short distance behind Bowser’s Castle. The four look up at the castle, watching as the dark clouds avoid covering a single tower in a perfect circle. Toadsworth clears his throat, before saying, “A very strange sight, indeed. Are we sure this isn’t the work of that vile koopa?”
  Peach shakes her head as she looks down at her assistant and mentor. “No, the energy radiating off the top of the castle doesn’t feel anything like Bowser’s… It feels… more powerful than Kamek’s, and even Bowser’s.”
  Mario looks at Peach in concern, while Luigi cowers behind his brother in fear. Mario says, “Are you-a sure?”
  Peach nods before she looks at the plumber. “It… feels similar to my Heart Power…but feels far more negative... It’s strange…”
  Mario pulls out four Tanooki Leaves as he grins. “Well, let’s not keep-a our guest a-waiting. Hopefully they’re-a friendly.” Mario tosses the Tanooki Leaves into the air, before they fall back down, one to each group member. Mario, Peach, and Toadsworth activate the power-ups, transforming into Tanooki Mario, Tanooki Peach, and Tanooki Toadsworth respectively.
  Luigi looks at the three nervously as he holds the leaf in his hands, trembling slightly as he says, “I-I think-a I’ll stay down-a here. I’ll… keep-a guard of the pipe!”
  Mario pats his brother’s shoulder confidently. “Come on-a bro. You’ve got this. I’m-a sure our guests just-a want to return Bowser. Anyone would want-a to get rid of that-a lousy King Koopa.”
  Luigi lets out of sigh of defeat as he activates his Tanooki Leaf. “Okay… I’ll-a join you.”
  The four Mushroom Kingdomers sprint towards the castle before jumping into the air, their tails waggling behind them as they quickly gain height.
----------
  When the four reach the top of one of the castle’s towers, they land on the stone roof of the tower, their power-ups deactivating in a poof of smoke. They notice a group of five individuals staring out at Bowser’s Kingdom, before Peach clears her throat. “E-excuse me?”
  Heles looks at the group, before gasping in horror as she dramatically rests the back of her hand against her forehead. “Oh my, what is a beautiful woman like yourself doing in the presence of such hideous creatures?!”
  Mario, Luigi, and Toadsworth recoil in shock, though Toadsworth, despite his shock, quickly grows enraged at this strange woman insulting him and the heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom, “How DARE you, you vile woman! Have you no respect?! We only came to-“
  Peach cuts him off by covering his mouth. “Toadsworth, please, calm down.”
  Peach turns to face the tall, Cleopatra-like woman. “Please forgive my companion’s outburst.” Peach clears her throat, before saying, “Welcome. My name is Princess Peach Toadstool. You are currently at the castle of King Bowser Koopa. King Bowser rules over Bowser’s Kingdom, otherwise known as World 8, while I rule over the Mushroom Kingdom, otherwise known as World 1, which you can see in the distance over there.” Peach points in the direction of the far brighter and happier Mushroom Kingdom.
  Heles lets out a sigh of relief. “It’s a great relief to know beauty does exist in this world. However, the kingdom of that horrid reptile is too ugly and dreary…” Heles turns to face the blue-skinned man next to her. “Sour, could you please transport our maidens and this Princess Peach to the ‘Mushroom Kingdom’ while I destroy this hideous land and her hideous companions?”
  Sour nods as the four Mushroom Kingdomers look at Heles in shock. Peach quickly recovers and shouts out in a mix of shock and anger, “No! I will not allow you to bring any harm to my subjects or any part of this world. Bowser has worked hard to rule over his kingdom fair and just, even if he is vile at times. There are countless innocent lives that would be lost, and I simply cannot allow it!”
  Heles looks at Peach in surprise. “H-how can you stand to protect something so repulsive as this! This kingdom is not in the slightest beautiful!”
  Mario steps up beside Peach and confidently says, “Well, maybe-a beauty isn’t everything!”
  Now it was Heles’ turn to recoil in shock, as the three maidens behind her steps forward. Brianne says angrily, “How can you say that?! Beauty and love are almost as important as life itself! Those who are the most powerful are the most beautiful! Living a life without beauty is like living a life without happiness! It is Mistress Heles’ sworn duty as Universe 2’s Goddess of Destruction to destroy anything not beautiful!
  As Peach and Heles continue fighting, Luigi pulls Mario back and whispers into his ear. “Heyya bro, didn’t she just-a mention a ‘reptile’?”
  Mario looks back at his brother, before walking towards the group. “Excuse-a me, Ms. Heles?”
  The group stops arguing and looks at the plumber.
  Mario swallows a little saliva nervously, before continuing. “My-a brother noticed you seem-a to know who Bowser is. Did-a he escape into your-a world through a portal?”
  Heles looks at the plumber, before saying, hand back on her forehead dramatically. “Oh yes. Bowser Koopa, a creature whose hideousness threatened to poisoned our beautiful universe… I was forced to destroy him in order to preserve our poor universe’s natural beauty.”
  Peach, Mario, Luigi, and Toadsworth recoil in shock again, before Toadsworth blurts out, “D-destroy him?!”
  Heles turns to face her attendant again. “Transport them to this Princess’s kingdom, please. If you must, take her acquaintances with. The dreariness of this kingdom is getting to me and I must destroy it immediately.”
  Sour nods, before he taps his staff against the castle roof and looks at the Mushroom Kingdomers. “I would suggest you come with me, unless you want to suffer the same fate as this kingdom and its inhabitants.”
  Peach shakes her head. “Surely there’s some way I can convince you otherwise… This kingdom may not be the brightest or the prettiest, but it deserves to be here like all of our kingdoms.”
  Heles looks at Peach, a sour on her face, before Brianne lets out a huff and crosses her arms, interrupting the goddess before she can say anything. “I cannot believe you’re so ignorant to beauty. A kingdom this hideous shouldn’t exist!”
  Peach throws her arms to her side in anger before she stomps towards Brianne, embers flying out from each heavy footstep, as Peach glares heavily at the idol. “Give me one good reason why I should stand idly by and let this lady destroy an entire kingdom!”
  Brianne looks at Peach, before she glares back. “You are so insensitive! How about I prove to you that we know what we’re talking about by showing you just how powerful beauty is!”
  Brianne throws her hand in the air as she starts glowing pink. “Formation!” Brianne lowers her hand, giving Peach a confident grin, before she twirls back and raises her hands above her head, creating a swarm of hearts which surround her as she lowers her arms. “Brianne. Brianne.” She twirls around before crossing her arms against her chest, the hearts still circling her. “Bri-bri-anne!”
  Brianne extends an arm as a heart taps it, causing it to burst out as her outfit changes. She then twirls around before posing as two hearts tap her legs, causing them to burst out as well as her outfit changes more. She twirls once more before pausing as a heart taps her chest, causing it to burst out. Brianne closes her eyes as her hair flows upward and the remaining hearts surround her head, before they drift out, revealing the head of Magical Girl Ribrianne.
  “Sending love, the happiness of all!” Ribrianne brings her arms to her right, before forming a heart with her fingers and moving it to her left. “Ribrianne!” A pink heart appears in her left pupil, before Ribrianne flips back and strikes another pose.
  “Transformation complete.” She throws her left arm out, striking another pose.
  Peach looks at Mario, Luigi, and Toadsworth with concern, her fury thrown out as Ribrianne’s new, more powerful aura practically floods out of her body. “I’m afraid I won’t be able to convince them.” Mario shakes his head. “Don’t-a worry, Princess. Even if you have-a to fight, I’m-a confident in you! You’re stronger than they know. You’ve-a got this!”
  Ribrianne grins confidently. “Stepping down, are we, Princess Peach? Are you too scared to face Universe 2’s love?”
  Peach lets out a sigh, before she looks back at Universe 2’s Goddess of Love. “Certainly not. I’m afraid that one of us is going to have a problem, Miss ‘Ribrianne’, because I don’t intend to let you have your way. You may have killed Bowser, but for the sake of his subjects, I cannot allow myself to lose!”
  Ribrianne crosses her arms, a confident look on her face. “Then prepare yourself, Princess! I don’t plan on going easy on you!”
  Ribrianne drops into a fighting stance as Peach holds her hands at her sides, hands balled into fists as the stone heats up around her feet.
FIGHT!
