Once upon a time there were two kingdoms; one was a kingdom of light and greenery; the other a kingdom of darkness and fire. These two kingdoms had been at war for many generations, each amassing large armies, weapons, and increasing magical power. It came to pass that the exposure to magic given rise a princess and a prince in each kingdom gifted with extra-ordinary magical powers. The rulers of these lands saw that their children as they grew could either become the destroyers of their entire world; or else usher in a utopia of peace and prosperity with their powers.

The two kingdoms entered a peace accord in which the children were to wed upon reaching adult hood. The two could not have been happier, they decided to make the union official between their kingdoms. They used their magic powers to create an egg that contains the fusion of their life essences. That night however the happiness was broken as a diminutive figure holding a wand broke into the castle and stole away the egg. Both sides knew that there were powerful individuals on both sides that hated the very idea of the two kingdoms uniting. Each kingdom accused the other of stealing the egg, or harboring the one that would.

The two were separated by their respective kingdoms, raised to view the other as the aggressor and the thief of the egg, hiding it away to raise as a weapon against the other…this union of magic from the two most powerful magic bearers ever known to exist.

"Welcome one and all to the Annual Mushroom Tennis Tournament!"

The crowd cheers as Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach walk out onto the court during the opening ceremonies. Outside Wario and Waluigi are sneering at the large monitor showing the crowd outside the opening ceremony, they nod as they start to head up the stairs grinning and laughing mischievously. They are stopped by a strange laugh behind him, turning around Wario smiles looking at the ground at the dark red boots of a woman, her long train red dress that is only down to her knees in the front, a clear sign of stockings coming from her boots. Her dress is clearly formal above the waist, her arms covered in dark gloves with claw like fingers.

Wario does a double take and backs up seeing the woman's face, or lack thereof, as she is wearing a paper cut-out mask of Princess Peach, the blond lines clearly contrasting this woman's own cherry red hair, which does have the same side looks as Princess Peach yet is high in the middle giving her hair a fire-water fall kind of vibe and a pair of horns flat against her head aimed back and up.

The mysterious woman holds out a bag of gold coins in one hand and a scroll in the other. Wario takes the scroll and *laughs* as he reads it. He nods as the mysterious masked woman and takes the bag of gold while nudging Waluigi. Waluigi just shrugs and turns to look at the monitor now showing Princes Daisy and smiles.

The crow boos as Wario and Waluigi make their way onto the tennis court during a match between the doubles teams of Princess Peach with Princess Daisy against Bowser with Donkey Kong. They surprise the crown as they throw a smoke bomb onto the tennis court. The Toad police with Mario and Luigi are rushing in as a strange flying car with mushroom and flower motifs flies down, scattering the smoke. As the smoke hits the Toad police they fall over asleep, Mario and Luigi do their best to cover their mouths as they see the strange woman wearing a mask of Princess Peach carrying the real Princess Peach over her shoulder while dragging Bowser by his tail. She tosses Princess Peach into the back seat where straps fly out and tie her up, she flings Bowser onto the back where chains tie around him. She jumps onto the hood as Wario and Waluigi jump into the driver seat and passenger seat respectively. She laughs wildly as the car flies up.

Mario and Luigi stand watching as the car is met by the seven flying battle ships of the Koopalings and Bowser jr.; which scatter across the lands to different castles while the flying car heads off in the direction of Bowser's castle. This leaves Mario and Luigi scratching their heads before heading off in pursuit.
