Chapter 1: A Dream Vacation

(Princess Peach's Castle in the Mushroom Kingdom)

One day, Princess Peach was going through the mail that had just arrived that day. Alongside her were Toad and Toadsworth.

Princess Peach- Bill. Bill. Bill. Junk mail. Bill.

Then Princess Peach said a letter that was from Bowser in the pile.

Princess Peach- REALLY hazardous junk mail!

Then Toad brings her a paper shredder and Princess Peach drops the letter from Bowser in it while she held her nose.

Princess Peach- Geezes! If it's not kidnapping me, it's trying to ask me for a date with a damn letter invite! Bowser really needs to read the writing on the wall! Hey, what's that?

Then Princess Peach sees another letter in the pile. She picked it up and it was an invite to a tropical resort in a place called Pi'illo Island.

Princess Peach- A vacation sounds nice.

Toadsworth- My lady, are you sure? You still have a kingdom to run. Also, remember what happened at Isle Delfino?

Princess Peach- It's not just for me. Mario and Luigi have been working hard with their new team on Smash City almost none stop. The Mario Brothers keep collapsing from exhaustion almost every day since that battle against Tabuu. And besides, Mario and Luigi went through a lot during that battle. This trip might be just what they need to relax. I know Tabuu has the power to wipe us all out, but after how bad Mario and Sonic left Tabuu in that fight, I don't think he'll be ready to strike again any time soon and Mario needs to stop worrying for a bit. Toadsworth, send a reply to this invite! Toad, send a message to Mario and Luigi!

(On the airplane ride to Pi'illo Island)

Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Toad, and Toadsworth were in the plane. Mario and Luigi were looking like they had bags in their eyes. Luigi was resting his head on a pillow and trying to get some sleep while Mario was moving his head around frantically.

Mario- I can't go on this trip, princess! What if Tabuu strikes again and…

Luigi opened one eye and looked at Mario.

Luigi- Will you give it a rest already, Mario! Tabuu will obviously need more time to regain his power for another attack than it will to prepare for his next attack!

Mario- But Smash City still needs…

Luigi- Ty the Tasmanian Tiger has already volunteered to help get whatever preparations he can on Smash City while we're on vacation. You and I haven't gotten much sleep in over two weeks. Just give it a rest, bro.

Luigi closes his eye and tries to fall asleep again.

Toad- Luigi is right, Mario. You need to unwind a bit. Can't fight Tabuu when you're all tired out like this. Besides, princess' orders.

Then Mario folded his arms and pouted a bit.

Mario- Fine…

(At the Pi'illo Island Airport)

Once the plane had landed, Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Princess Peach, Toad, and Toadsworth got off the plane and were greeted by a crowd of block people. Among them was this block man with an Italian style mustache like Mario and Luigi.

Broque Monsieur- Princess Peach, vat a plazure it iz to zee you again

Princess Peach- You as well, Broque Monsieur.

Then Broque Monsieur sees Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi.

Broque Monsieur- And I zee you brought zee guest of honor. Zee Super Mario Brothers zat zaved the vorld from zat horrible god, Tabuu. Don't vorry. I agree vith zee princess zat you need and deserve a vacation like zis and you'll all get zee best rooms in zee Pi'illo Castle hotel.

Yoshi- Any food in castle? Yoshi hungry.

Luigi- Yoshi, you ate all of your plane food as well as everyone else's on the plane. How can you still be hungry?!

(Pi'illo Cattle Hotel)

On the outside, the castle appeared as a simple medieval style castle, but on the inside it looked like a modern hotel. There were many venders with lots of Pi'illo themed merchandise. But standing in the lobby was a small Star Sprite whom Mario and Luigi know very well.

Starlow- Princess Peach! Toadsworth!

Princess Peach- Starlow, you were invited to the island as well?

Starlow- That's right. I came all the way to represent the Star Sprites.

Then Starlow sees Mario and Luigi.

Starlow- Mario, I haven't seen you since our last adventure into Bowser's insides. But I've heard you've been doing well for yourself. Leading a team with your brother, Yoshi, and 8 other heroes outside of the Mushroom Kingdom. Not to mention holding your own against an evil god with the power of an S ranked god.

Mario- Yeah, we've been busy lately, Starlow.

Luigi- And Mario has been refusing to take a rest after that battle, thinking Tabuu will attack at any moment. Which is why the Princess is insisting Mario relax at this place.

Starlow- Oh…hey Luigi. Haven't seen you in a while either.

Broque Monsieur- Oh! Oh! Excusez-moi! Zare iz one zing I vould like to zow you all. If you vould follow me.

Then Broque Monsieur opened a large door and everyone followed him inside of it. Inside was what looked like a small stage standing in the middle of the room. As soon as everyone came into the room, the there was a buzzing sound and the lights went out.

Toadsworth- What's that?

Then a movie screen and projector appeared showing a researcher that studies Pi'illo Island named Doctor Snoozemore.

Doctor Snoozemore- Mmm-yes, welcome! I am the administrator of this island, Doctor Snoozemore…Mm-yes, and I should like to tell you of the island's lor…

Then the doctor's face vanished from the movie screen and the scenes of the island's history was shown on the screen.

Doctor Snoozemore- A long time ago, on this island…The Pi'illo people folk lived in this place called it the Pi'illo Kingdom. But then, over a short span…The Pi'illo Kingdom suddenly fell and was no more. What happened to the Pi'illo Kingdom? Mm-yes, this question lingers. It is one of the mysteries that we are actually trying to solve today. Indeed, another of these mysteries sleeps deep within Pi'illo Castle. Some say a treasure hides there since the time of the Pi'illo Kingdom. The deeper passages have only recently been discovered. What treasure do you suppose sleeps in this cazzzzz…zzZZzz…

After the movie ended, the lights came back on and Princess Peach walked closer to the stage in the middle of the room.

Princess Peach- Oh my! Fascinating! So there's a treasure sleeping somewhere in the castle!

Then Princess Peach actually walks on the stage.

Princess Peach- What sort of treasure do you suppose would sleep here?

Then Toadsworth jumped on the stage as well.

Toadsworth- You're majesty, please! Step down at once! I sense calamity!

Little did they know, the movie screen was folding back and a hidden passage in the wall was opening. Suddenly. The stage turned into a platform with rockets coming out of the sides and the platform dashes into the passage as fast as Sonic the Hedgehog.

Starlow- Oh no!

Mario- Princess Peach!

Luigi- It took off with Princess Peach and Toadsworth…

Starlow pressed her face into Broque Monsieur's face with an angry look on her face.

Starlow- You! Why is there a rocket platform there in the first place?!

Broque Monsieur- Ah! Oui! I must tell you, back zere we found zis ancient hidden area. Zat platform was only recently installed for zee exploring… But it is in the testing phase…or at least was… Zee pressure of zee petit footsies activated zee mechanism, honh? Oui! Technology, c'est magnifique!

Luigi- All this talk about technology is reminding me of how Ty likes to think.

Yoshi- So…what back there, anyway?

Starlow- Nothing dangerous, right? RIGHT?

Broque Monsieur- I have not gone back zere myself. Non. Too damp for moi. But I hear…Zere is something back zere, oui. Something protects, zee treasure…

Starlow- Great…Princess Peach and Toadsworth are there with some ancient thing?!

Then the rocket platform returned to the room, but there was no one riding it.

Mario- It's back.

Yoshi- But where friends?

Starlow- I guess we'll have to ride this thing and find them before something bad happens. Make this platform work again!

Broque Monsieur- Euh…Oui. Very well.

Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, and Starlow got on the rocket platform and it took off just like it did with Princess Peach and Toadsworth.
