Author's Note: Okay a side project from my series :)

Written because I wanted to write a crossover and well, right now Mario games and Scooby Doo is my addiction x3

Please review and tell me what you think :D

Screams pierced the night sky as the patter of footsteps merged in with the rainfall. It was a cold late November evening and Mystery Incorporated had gotten themselves into yet another case; this time however, things seemed to have gotten out of hand.

Continuous cries for help shattered the silence as a red haired woman, soaked through, was being carried away by some sort of turtle like beast. Following them was a sodden gang of detectives, desperately hoping they didn't lose track of the monster and the young girl carelessly slung over it's shoulder.

"Freddie? Velma?" The young woman called out into the darkness, not quiet able to see past the dripping auburn locks that clung to her pale face. "S-Shaggy, Scooby?...Anybody! She screeched desperately, trying to wriggle free of the beast's vice like grip.

"Don't worry Daphne, We're here!" A Blonde haired boy yelled back. "J-just stay calm!"

"Stay calm!" Daphne shrieked, "How the hell am I-"

"Shut it you little runt!" The beast suddenly growled at her.

Daphne's eyes widened and inhaled deeply before letting out an ear splitting scream. This was the first word the beast had spoken since they encountered it, and just it's voice sent chills down her spine. "Freddie!" She cried out once again.

"Like, for such a big guy, he can really move, like, fast man!" Shaggy gasped, letting out a small goofy laugh as he tried to keep up with Fred, who was way ahead of him, Scooby or Velma. The farthest back was Velma, she'd never been as fast as the rest of the group, Daphne could even out run her in six inch heels, but she was pushing herself to her limit at the moment as she tried to keep up.

The four detectives continued to sprint after the creature and didn't slow down once, until they saw it come to a sudden halt that is. A cold, triumphant laugh echoed through the narrow alleyway, then the pair appeared to disappear before their eyes.

"Where...where did..did they go?" Velma gasped, as she rested her hands on her knees.

"Like, I dunno man." Shaggy said, petting Scooby on the head.

Scanning the floor where the creature once stood, Fred let out a frustrated growl, "I can't believe I let him get away with her!" His hands clenched into fists as he spotted a metal plate on the floor. "There." He grunted, falling to his knees.

"Rhat?" Scooby said, moving closer and sniffing the metal plate. The dogs head suddenly shot open and his tail began wagging. "Ranhole!"

"Shaggy, help me lift this off, He must have taken her down into this sewer." Fred murmured.

Daphne continued to scream as the beast hauled her across a field. He'd slowed down a lot now and seemed t be strolling, smiling as he looked around. It wasn't raining now, in fact it wasn't really that cold any more; a rather pleasant evening actually, apart from the kidnap that is.

"Let me go!" Daphne cried, craning her neck to get a batter look at her captor.

"Haha nice try honey," He paused, throwing her harshly onto the green grass of the field, "You're in my world now."

A sudden uneasy feeling came over her as she stared into the face of the creature for the first time. This one was different, the scales and the jagged teeth seemed so real this time, and his eyes so unnerving. "W-what do you mean?" She said in a small voice.

"You're not on earth any more sweetie." He leaned in close to her, gripping her arms and holding them painfully tight by her sides as he breathed heavily into her face. "Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom."

Her eyes were wide, for once in her life she actually believed that this monster may be the real thing, there was no way that a costume could have been made so...realistically. Finding it hard to breath, she remained completely still in his arms as he grinned down at her, a wild glint in his eyes.

"Bowser." A voice called out.

The beast, known as 'Bowser' turned away from Daphne, to find two men dressed in blue overalls. "Plumbers." Her grunted.

"I thought I told you to stay out of the kingdom." The red clad plumber hissed. His eyes narrowed and searched Bowser, then lay to rest on Daphne, still soaked through and trembling. "Up to old ticks again then?"

"What's it got to do with you?" Bowser roared back, nostrils flaring.

"Let her go." The plumber dressed in green ordered, stepping forward.

"Sure thing losers." Bowser laughed, before tossing Daphne to one side and spitting fire at the two men.

Daphne gasped and covered her eyes. Slowly, she dared to look at the fight that had broken out before her, and watched in anticipation as the two plumbers fought the ferocious beast.

"Like, where are we?" Shaggy murmured softly, looking around.

"I don't know Shag, but Daphne's gotta be here somewhere." Fred said softly.

"T-this is impossible..." Velma whispered as she looked at her surroundings, "I mean, a minute ago we were...this can't be real..."

They were stood by a large green pipe, which they had just climbed out of. They were in some sort of countryside, where it was they didn't know. I was dark, but the grass was a lot greener than usual, there were strange flowers dotted about and bricks floating in mid air. In the distance they could see a small village, but the housed were strange, most seemed to be in the shape of mushrooms, while other's looked like small old fashioned cottages. It was like something out of a children's book. Past the village, they could see a truly breath taking sight. A castle stood atop a hill, painted in pink and white, with pointed towers and large coloured doors. It looked amazing.

"Fred, I think we should go that way." Velma said softly.

"Yeah, maybe we can find help...and find out where in the word we are."

Daphne watched the two men fight the monster named Bowser, amazed at their ability to jump so high and shoot fire from their fingertips. The battle was short and soon enough the beast was running for a nearby pipe, cursing the two men as he went, "I'll get you plumbers, just wait, tomorrow is another day!" It bellowed.

"Don't bother Bowser, you're not getting your grubby hands on the princes again!" The man in red shouted back.

They turned as Bowser disappeared down the green pipe and walked towards Daphne, comforting smiles on their faces. "Hey, you look scared, Don't worry you're safe now." The man dressed in green watched Daphne as she brushed the wet hair from her eyes, but remained silent. "I'm Luigi, this is my brother Mario." He pointed to the man dressed in red.

"Evening madam." Mario smiled, reaching out to take her hand. She took it and he helped her to her feet, steadying her when she swayed.

"W-where am I?" She stammered.

"You're in the Mushroom Kingdom, the question is, how did you get here?" Mario said.

"I-I don't quite now. One minute I'm being carried through an alleyway by...by that thing, and the next thing I knew we were climbing out of a big green pipe!"

"h, she must have been attack by bowser and he brought her here through one of the warp pipes." Luigi told Mario.

Mario nodded, then turned back to Daphne, "We'll take you to the castle, then we'll ask the princess about all of this, she'll know what to do."

Daphne bit her lip, so this kingdom was real? "Th-that thing, w-what was it?" She whispered.

"That was Bowser, he'd the monstrous dictator of the dark lands. For years he'd been harassing the kingdom, demanding the princess's hand in marriage; when she refuses, he just takes her." Mario growled.

"He rules over his subjects with an iron fist, and wishes to do the same here." Luigi said sadly, "He never gives up."

"So, is he like...a real monster? Daphne asked, her voice low.

The two brothers simply nodded in reply, their head bowed. Daphne opened her mouth, but couldn't seem to find any words to sum up how she felt right now. So she'd been kidnapped by a real monster, was lost in a kingdom she's never even heard of and was about to go and meet the princess. 'Am I dreaming or something? Maybe in a coma?' she though, her head spinning. She couldn't think straight at the moment, she was feeling light headed and a sickness tainted her stomach. She saw colourful spots dance across her eyes before she felt the darkness engulf her as she fell to the ground.

"Like, what is that?" Shaggy exclaimed, looking down upon a small creature that appeared to have a mushroom atop its head.

"Shaggy, don't be rude!" Velma hissed as she elbowed him in the ribs, "Um, excuse me...sir?"

The small mushroom like creature looked up at her, a frown crossing its small round face. It gripped its spear tightly and quickly pointed it at Velma's face, causing the small girl to squeak. "Who are you and what is your business!" It shouted, in a high pitched yet still threatening voice.

Velma opened and closed her mouth, not able to say anything, only let out random syllables as she back away from the sharp point of the spear.

"Some kind of monster led us here!" Fred blurted out, causing the small creature to jump back a little, eyes wide.

It pulled out a whistle and blew it, closing its eyes as the sound filled the night air. Within seconds Mystery Inc. found themselves surrounded by similar creatures, the only variation seeming to be the coloured spots on their mushroom type heads. They were cornered, where ever they turned there was another pointing a spear at them, their faces deadly serious.

"What's going on here?" A feminine voice called out from behind the gates of the vast castle.

"We have intruders, sent here by bowser." One of the creatures called back, thrusting his spear forward as Scooby tried to see who the other voice belonged to.

"Hey! Like, we're not intruders!" Shaggy shouted.

"And we weren't sent by anyone!" Fred added, "We're just trying to find our friend!"

"Excuse me?" The voice called out again, but closer this time.

"Princess stay back!" Another creature yelled.

They could hear footsteps approaching, someone wearing heels by the sound of it. A young blonde woman stepped out from behind the castle walls, looking slightly confused. She had long golden blonde hair, just past her waist, and incredibly bright blue eyes, with porcelain skin and plump pink lips. Opening the gate, she walked towards them, her long pink dress swaying in the cool night breeze. She continued to walk towards them, until she was stood directly behind the creatures. "Guards, hold your position." She ordered, not looking away from the three young adults and their dog.

"Yes princess!" The guards chanted.

Looking them up and down, she coked her head to one side and bit her lip, crossing her arms. "Who are you?" She asked, directing the question to Fred, sensing that he was the leader.

Fred stared at the woman, mouth agape. She was stunning. He watched her bite her lip anxiously, awaiting a reply. 'Wow,she bites her lip just like Daph...' he thought, 'and her eyes...and skin...shes so much like...'

"Well?" She said, cutting him off from his thoughts.

"Uhh, Fred, Fred Jones."

Without averting her gaze, she parted her lips again, "And what is your business in my kingdom?"

Furrowing his brow, Fred looked at her, her kingdom? Who was this woman and where on earth were they? "We followed some kind of beast here, he kidnapped our friend."

Closing her eyes, shit bit her lip harder, stepping back slowly. "T-Toadsworth..." She murmured.

Another creature, looking much older than the rest, rushed to the woman's side. "Yes Princess?"

Sighing, the woman looked down at the creature, "When was the last reported sighting of Bowser?"

"Umm, 7 months ago if my memory serves me right." The creature replied, adjusting his monocle.

Shaking her head, the woman turned again to look at the gang, "Guards, bring them inside, I fear Bowser has returned once again..."
