A lovely day in the Mushroom Kingdom. Toad Town was busy, Toads going to and from the little shops set up, and it seemed setting up for a party, or festival tonight. One of the two. Doesn't matter, does it?

Everything seemed normal today, but knowing how things usually go? Yeah, that peace and excitement isn't going to last. And as if on cue, just a little after noon hit, it happened. The usual. Goombas and Koopa troopas alike, storming in-alongside a few Boos, accompanied by Lakitus hovering on their clouds, ready to drop spinies at a moments notice. Even a couple Hammer Bros joined the fray. Not that it'd matter.

The sun ended up kinda blocked out by Bowser's airship, because of course it's him. It's firing Bullet bills (or bobs, whatever its name is-) from cannons on top of things. The only mercy here? The lack of Bob-ombs. But the town turned to chaos faster than you could say 'ravioli'.

Toads scattered left and right in panic, some even screaming- as they ran amock to find shelter, or anywhere really, to hide. Shutters to stores were closed as the Toads working inside slammed the doors shut and either stayed inside, or took off running with the rest.

And on cue, of course, enter that famous Italian Plumber himself: Mario! Alongside his brother Luigi, to boot! It wasn't a surprise that the brothers were barely breaking a sweat in taking down the masses of enemy line with ease, hardly breaking a sweat.

They both have their goal. Protect the citizens, protect the Princess. But of course, that Princess never was one to idly stand by and do nothing if chaos came knocking On her kingdom's door, was she. Of course she wasn't.
