ACT 1:
Prologue

A black Koopa backed away in fear as the King of Koopas and his head Magikoopa approached him threateningly. The Koopa King growled deeply; from the look of his livid face, he looked like he could kill the black Koopa right on the spot.

"Y-Y-Your Majesty, please, I can explain," The black Koopa try to reason but the King was beyond that point now.

"Don't bother trying to sweet talk me, Kalvin." Bowser hissed. "I fell for your tricks plenty times and I refuse to fall for them again. I hope you like the dungeon because that's your new home for the rest of your life."

The black Koopa, Kalvin, sneered. He could tell there was no way he could talk out of this situation; he was literally trapped between a Koopa and a hard place. He desperately tried to find an escape route but unfortunately for him, every possible exit was blocked.

"Don't bother trying to run," the Magikoopa, Kamek spoke. "You already failed. Might as well make things easy for us all and turn yourself in."

"Fine," Kalvin growled. "I'll admit defeat. However..."

With one swift movement, a shine of metal appeared in everyone's line of vision. In his hand, Kalvin held what appears to be a very sharp pointed dagger. Everyone grew tense at the sight of that silver blade.

"I refuse to go down alone!"

Both Bowser and Kamek took a fight stance. Since they were the closest to him, they were most likely the ones to get targeted. Kalvin made his move. But instead of aiming for them, the black Koopa made a beeline to the side to where a certain pink Koopa was.

"If I'm going down, I'm taking you with me, princess."

Wendy gasped when she saw Kalvin heading towards her with the dagger. Fear quickly filled her veins, preventing her from moving. She closed her eyes and prepared herself. No sooner the sound of metal cutting flesh filled her ears.

Seconds pass but the pain never came. Slowly, she opened her eyes. She was expecting to see Kalvin in front her. But instead of black, all she could see was green.

When she opened her eyes fully, she saw her hero standing in between her and Kalvin. She blinked in surprise, wondering what he was doing. Her heart sank when she realized what just happened.

The dagger that was clearly meant for her, it had found its way inside the hero's chest instead. His naturally bright green shirt was now stained red – red from his own blood.

The entire throne room was in a total silence. No one said a word as they couldn't believe what they just witness. Once that moment had passed, the first one to say anything was surprisingly the attacker.

"You…" Kalvin breathed. His shock expression turned into an angry one. "You fool!"

The green hero remained silent. Instead, he gave the Koopa what he rightly deserved…

His gloved hand clench into a tight fist as blue sparks started to appear around it. He threw it back and punched the black Koopa right in the face.

The black Koopa flew backward and fell on the ground with a heavy grunt. He moaned painfully and rubbed the side of his face where he was punched. A small smile appeared on the hero's lips before his body fell heavily onto the floor.

"Luigi!"
