(If you want to learn how this all happened in the first place, take a look at the prologues!)
 
Prologue: Pit
 

….Help....


...Help...


...Help...Us...


SCREEEEEEECH!


"AH!" Palutena awoke from her bed with a fright in the middle of the night. Panting with sweat coming down her forehead, she looks around and takes a deep breath.


"That dream...No...That plea. Someone...Multiple people were calling for help." She gasps again. She's senses something. It's not Medusa...Nor is it Hades or Viridi...But it's something bad. She gets up from her bed.


"Pit...Pit...Pit, are you awake?"


Inside a cozy room, The angel known as Pit was sound asleep, laying splayed out on his bed and lightly snoring. The voice of Palutena echoed in his mind however instead of waking up, Pit remained in his bed and snuggled into his pillow.



"Mmm... Five more minutes in.. the hot spring.." He muttered as he gripped onto his pillow. Palutena looms over Pit's bed, appearing in his room. She sighs. "Alright...You leave me no choice..." She closes her eyes and begins using her telepathy...



…



"PIT! WAKE UP OR YOU'RE FINISHED!!"

"GAH, I'M AWAKE!" Pit yelled as he woke up with a start. His head darted from side to side as he swept the room, until he noticed the form of Palutena looming over him.


"Heheheh... Morning, Lady Palutena..." Pit nervously chuckled as he rubbed the back of his head. "Morning." She says with a stern look on her face. "I apologize for waking you up so early and abruptly Pit. But this is urgent. Follow me. I'll explain on the way." She begins walking. Palutena's still in her sleepwear, so this must've been a hasty travel to come to Pit so quickly and early. "Ok!" Pit nodded, jumping out of the bed and trailing after Palutena. A brief glance to the side windows showed that it was still night.



"So, what's the mission? Is it the underworld creatures acting up again?"


Palutena shakes her head no. “Not quite. It’s nothing like we’ve ever dealt with before...” She said as she walked.


“I just had a nightmare. There were voices that sounded weak...They were begging, pleading for help. And then this screeching sound jolted my senses to wake up. I haven’t had a dream like that in years...But I feel it wasn’t just a dream. It was message. A plea for assistance.”


Palutena opens the doors to her temple. “Immediately after, I began sensing something. It wasn’t Medusa nor Hades...But something dark, which is of course, not good.” Pit's head reared down as he put a hand to his chin while walking. "Something's gone wrong and the underworld monsters aren't behind it? Definitely weird."


She stands in the center and raises her right hand. A divine light appears above her, reveally her staff. Palutena grabs it and places it in the center. “I can’t ignore it. It’s something dangerous....And yet I don’t know what it could be.” Pit runs up to Palutena and stands by her side, glancing towards her with curiosity. "Who called you? Do you have an idea of where the voices might have come from?" "That's what I'd like to know. I can't identify their voices, but I can follow where this dark aura I'm sensing is coming from..." Palutena closes her eyes in a focusing manner. The staff glows in light blue radiance. She's searching...Searching...Searching...Searching...


"THERE!"



The staff reveals a holographic island.





"It's coming from there. On that island. I'm not sure what exactly it is, but it spells trouble. I believe it's called Pi'illo Island."

"Pi'illo Island, huh?" Pit stared at the holographic island with intrigue, "It's certainly different from any place I've been to."

Pit hopped back an inch and looked at Palutena with determination. "So I go to that island, find whoever's causing this, take them out and free the pleading souls, right?"

Palutena chuckles with a grin. "You've got the drill. But be careful. As far as I know, the feeling's a little faint. The enemy won't pop up as soon as we get there like who we've fought in the past. So be cautious." She walks over to Pit and touches his shoulder. His wings glow with radiant light. "Just a little upgrade to your wings. Without my assistance, you'll be able to activate a temporary Power of Flight by yourself. However, this will only give you a bit of extra height instead of letting you fly fully, so use it wisely. You can only use it up to three times per day. Got it?"

"Wow, thanks!" Pit cheered as he looked over to his wings, before looking back at Palutena. "Err.. I head out now, right? Not sure what else to do.."

"Yeah, yeah, go on! World's in danger again." She says, playfully shooing Pit off.


Pit nodded and ran towards the armory room. He dug through the weapons vault until he pulled out the golden Sacred Bow of Palutena, a weapon he's used countless times before in his previous adventures. Pit strolls out of the armory while whistling a tune. Soon, a sudden idea forming in his head caused Pit to stop in his tracks.



Pit rushed back inside the armory and dug through the various chests and drawers, until eventually he found a group of various weapons that would be helpful in the event that his bow proved inefficient during combat. From the arsenal he acquired, Pit took the Insight Staff, Beam Claws, Guardian Orbitars, Upperdash Arm and a Violet Palm tattoo.



"There we go, perfect against any opponent! Large or small, fast or strong, I'll handle them no problem with these!



... Where am I gonna store them, though?"


Palutena chuckles as she sees Pit in his “Move out!” moods. “Calm down Pit. You don’t have endless pockets like some heroes do. (*cough* Link *cough*) I’ll tell you what. I’ll keep the rest of weapons for you and when you feel like you need them, I’ll switch out the weapons on the spot. Deal?”


“That sounds great! Thank you so much, Lady Palutena!" Pit proceeded to put all of his selected weapons on a nearby spot, then closed the doors of the armory and ran to the main exit. He stood on the very edge of the platform and gazed at the night sky.

"I'm ready to move out, Lady Palutena."


Palutena nods and activates the “Power of Flight” on Pit’s feathered wings.

“I’ve got one more upgrade for you Pit. I’ve been working on the Power of Flight in my spare time and I managed to extend the time limit from five minutes. Wanna guess what it is?”


"Uhhh Ten! Fifteen? Please be something other than six minutes.." Pit jumped off the platform and took flight, soaring into the night with bow in hand.

“....Seven!...I know it’s not much, but it’s a very lucky number.” Through his wings, Palutena guides Pit downwards, but still keeps him moving forward.


“In all seriousness...This will be a mission like no other. We don’t know what will happen or who we’re up against. We’ll be in unknown territory. It may be dangerous and deadly or the opposite. But for the greater good, we must take care of this power so it won’t be used again.”

Pit continued to soar through the sky, eventually departing Skyworld and flying towards new lands..



"On it! Helping those in need is a duty that I can't ignore. I'll make the best use of these upgrades as much as I can, Lady Palutena. Pi'illo Island, here I come!"

Prologue: Lute and Tiki

~Lute: Library~


There is a glowing book. Lute, having known every book in her library finds this... unusual. Further investigation is required. The young mage drew closer and gently poked the books spine. Lute opens the book to see a sight like no other. All other pages would be blank except for the last two pages. The second to last page would have a message saying:


"Thank you"


The other page would feature a picture. But a picture like no other...
In this picture, there's a bizarre group of characters. One wearing red, one wearing green, one wearing pink, and some with mushrooms for heads! But the most interesting piece is who else is there. A green haired girl with wings. A boy with angel wings on his back. An angelic woman with a staff in her hand. A girl wearing a hat with creatures by her side. A blonde man and woman together dressed in blue. And then...There's Lute. Sitting on the ground. Smiling.
Lute seemed utterly confused and flipped through the book again, simply fanning through its pages. This one was unfamiliar to her. Eventually she stopped and readied her inkwell to test something. The book lies still on the ground. Lute started writing in the first of the blank pages to see if anything would happen. She was unsure about the magic strength residing within the book or if it had any at all. The moment the ink touched the book, the page flashed. It grew brighter and brighter until it covered her entire body. Before she knew it she was in the air.


~Tiki: Somewhere~


…A portal opens. Out comes a letter from Pi'illo Island. Tiki, bewildered by the portal runs over to it, picking up the letter and starts opening it.


- To the lucky guest that loves relaxation -



An island of luxury awaits:



PI'ILLO ISLAND!



Our staff wishes to wait on you! Come! Take a Holiday with us!



-From the Pi'illo Island Proprietor


Tiki had been raised by dragons and thus knew very little about reading. However the excitement the letter seemed to portray made her smile and just making assumptions she stepped through the portal. As Tiki steps through the portal, one thing was very apparent...She was in the air. VERY high up in the air. And in an instant, she starts falling down faster and faster through the clouds! Tiki took a moment to realize her situation before reaching for the pouch that was slung around her rather frantically and grabbing hold of her dragon stone. Changing into a her true form and catching herself into a glide before she hit the ground.


Meanwhile, Lute was falling from the sky and she was falling faster and faster and faster until


THUMP!


She landed on something safely. It wasn't ground, nor was it magic. But it had scales and it was still in the air. Lute groaned and heard a voice


“Heeeeyyyy...” it whined. “I’m nobody's ride leeettt gooo”


This immediately prompted Lute to hold on tighter, not that she had much choice unless she wished to die.



The draconic form dipped down out of the clouds. The ride was exhilarating but Lute felt like she didn’t really have the constitution for this. In the distance, there was visible land. There it was. Pi'illo Island. The supposed island of luxury. And at the same time Tiki and Lute were arriving, a blimp was just coming into landing...With those same peculiar characters in the picture. Tiki landed hard and swiftly forcing Lute off her back. She then changed back. “I didn’t give you permission to ride on my back.” the manakete puffed her cheeks.


“My apologies... are you a manakete?” Lute looked at the girl.


“I am! And a proud one too!”


Lute sighs “And where are we?” As soon as Lute says that, a blimp comes into view before the two girls.



The adventure begins...



END OF PROLOGUE

Prologue:Leaf

It has been 5 days since defeating Giovanni and becoming the Pokémon champion of Kanto. Leaf has been living a peaceful life with her Pokémon that have been by her side. Slowpoke, Kabuto, Pikachu, Bulbasuar, and Dugtrio. Sticking by her side to the very end. Then...On one morning...

~Pallet Town~

In Leaf's house, Leaf is fast asleep in her bed with her Pokémon scattered around the room, sleeping as well. Until...

"Leaf? Are you awake? Leaf?" Said the voice of her mother from the other side of the door.


Leaf was asleep, hugging her pillow. She then then woke up after she heard her mother calling her and knocking her door. "Y-yeah. Give me a second." She yawns and stretches, later she goes to door and opens it for her mother. "Good morning~.." She said as she rubs her eye.


Her mother puts her hands on her hips. "Well, it's about time! It's only been five days and you're still sleeping this late an- Oh! Let me be quiet. Professor Oak just sent you something in the mail!" Leaf's mother kneels down and picks up a letter and a small tablet screen. "Apparently it will only work if it sees you. Who knows? It might even be a gift!" Her mother gasps, with her eyes lighting up. "Maybe even an internship!"



Leaf was surprised and a bit curious as she gets the letter and the tablet screen from her mother. "Huh.. Maybe so. Let's check it out!" She smiles. Leaf then looks directly to the tablet. "Like this right?"


The screen lights up. Professor Oak's face appears on the screen with his lab in the background.

"Ah, Leaf! How wonderful it is to see you! Well, this is a recording, so I'm not actually seeing you, but good seeing you nonetheless! Listen. I have a proposal for you. I recently got invited to a place called Pi'illo Island, an island resort to relax and see the most beautiful sights and attractions! It sounds so exhilarating! Wouldn't you agree? But the main reason why I was invited was to meet Dr. Snoozemore, who studies the science of sleep, dreams, and the ancient Pi'illo Kingdom. However, I have my hands busy at the moment with taking care of other trainer's Pokémon and of course my radio show, "Professor Oak's Pokémon Talk". And seeing that you have done so much for Kanto already and all Pokémon around, I thought it would appropriate to give you the invitation instead. Inside that letter is your plane ticket to fabulous Pi'illo Island Resort! Be sure to take plenty of notes and pictures on your travels! So long!"

Professor Oak waves good-bye and the video shuts off.

"Wait. What was that? I didn't quite catch all of what he said dear." Leaf's mother said. Leaf blinks after watching the video, squeals excitedly as she heard everything. "It looks like I'm going to an Island resort!" She said while jumping excitedly. Her pokemon looks at her, wondering what's up. “Oh well that's ni-...AN ISLAND RESORT!?" Leaf's mother yelled out so loud, it would've been consider as an Uproar move. Leaf got startled a bit when her mother yelled it out very loudly that even made her pokemon flinch except Slowpoke which is still laying in one spot. "Slow~.."

"B-B-But you just got back! But then again, this is an opportunity of a lifetime for Professor Oak to choose you to go in his place." She said. She looks at her daughter. All giddy and happy. It made her smile as well. Leaf opens the letter and saw the plane ticket. "Although, the professor did also said that i have to meet someone named Dr. Snoozemore in Pi'illo Island. What a odd name." She explained.

“Well, if you really want to go then you better start packing your clothes, camera, and especially your Pokeballs to take your Pokemon with you! I’m sure they’d love to come!” The young girl smiles and nods. "Yeah of course! I promise I'll take a lot of photos! And bring souvenirs too~!" She giggles as she turned around and looks at her team. "How about it, guys? Are all of you ready for one more adventure?" The Pokemon nods and cried cheerfully.

Leaf's mother chuckles as she sees her daughter energetic as ever, packing up. She then walks downstairs.

~The Day Of The Trip~

Leaf's mother walks outside opening the door. "Come on Leaf! You don't want to be late for your flight!" She called out.
“I'm coming, I'm coming!" She finished packing her stuff and have her team in their pokeballs. Leaf then puts up her usual hat and wears the same clothing. She goes downstairs and went outside quickly. "Ready to go!" She said with a smile on her face.

The mother gives her a thumbs up. "Then let's ride!"

Leaf and her mother both get on their bikes, put on their helmets, and ride off to the Professor's lab, where the blimp should be awaiting...

~Professor Oak's lab~

Up on top, guided by stairs was the large lab where many trainers started their adventures at last, including Leaf! (A sense of nostalgia rushes through her) The Professor in his white lab coat, red shirt, blue pants, and brown shoes was standing in front of the doors waiting. As Leaf and her mother came close, he smiled and waved at them.
"Hellooo there!" He called out. As they've arrived at the lab, Leaf smiles, remembering the time when her and the boys first got their starters and pokedexes. "Ahh good times~" she said. After seeing the professor, she waves at him. "Hi~!"

"Good to see you again Leaf. This time, for real!" The professor says with a smile. "Ah! And it's a pleasure to meet you too." He says to Leaf's mother. "Oh, the pleasure's all mine. It's not everyday your little girl gets a big chance like this!" Leaf's mother says.
"Speaking of which, the blimp to Pi'illo Island is just arriving in the back! Come! Come!" Oak says. He begins leading the mother and daughter the back of the lab. He helps carries Leaf's luggage.
“Thank you." She said while following him.



Coming down from above is a big yellow-orange blimp with a wide platform tied to it by string. The wind blows as it comes near. On the platform is a big, yellow, block dog with two large ears and a spiky collar. It looks like a Pokémon...But it doesn't at the same time.

"ARF! ARF!"

"Um...What type of Pokémon is that Professor?" The mother asks.

"You know...I haven't the slightest clue either!"

"Really!?"

"Well, I'm aware of that there are other regions with new Pokémon we've never seen before, but this is already quite peculiar!"

"ARF!"



Leaf was amazed as she saw the blimp but also was curious when she sees a block yellow dog-like pokemon? Standing there and appeared to be waiting. "Hmm i wonder what's it called?" She took out her pokedex and tried to scan the dog to get some information about it but all the screen said was error. "Huh? That's strange." She said.

“ARF! ARF!”



The block dog steps of the platform and nudges Leaf forward towards it.
“I think that’s it’s way of saying that it’s time to go.” Oak said.

“ARF! ARF!”


Leaf nods as she goes to the blimp. "Okay, okay, let's go." She said. She looks at her mother and Professor Oak, waving at them. "Bye, I'll see you soon, mom and Professor~!" Leaf smiles as she was ready to go. The blimp gradually starts hovering towards the air. Professor Oak and Leaf’s mother start waving.
“So long Leaf! Have a good time! And tell Dr. Snoozemore I said hi! Take care of your Pokemon and yourself!”
Professor Oak said.

“Goodbye sweetheart! Have fun! Don’t forget to write! I LOVE YOU!! Good bye! Brush your teeth every day!” Leaf’s mother said. Leaf continues waving at them. "Bye mom! I love you too! Bye professor! I'll see you soon!" She said with a warm smile on her face.


“ARF! ARF!"

As Leaf flies off into the sky on the blimp, she heads to Pi'illo Island for sun, fun, and to meet Dr. Snoozemore on behalf of Professor Oak. But what awaits her on her adventures? What secrets will she find? Who will she meet there? Find out...

Rustling in the bushes, three figures watch as Leaf begins to leave.

"Pi'illo Island?"

"Island resort?"

"Exotic foods and twerps to rip off?"

"Well, what are we waiting for!?" All three say in unison.

As the journey continues!


~Later~


Far out over the ocean, Leaf and the block dog were flying to a land out in the distance. The most notable sight was a large castle with a fabulous glass mural on the front. It featured what looked to be a princess. Leaf was amazed by the castle's appearance. She felt like she's in some kind of fairytale storybook. "Is that a real castle?! I thought we're going to the island!" She then thinks about it, maybe it's possible that the professor isn't the only one was invited. "So does that mean that... I'm not going to Pi'illo Island alone? There's more people?" She asked herself quietly.


“ARF! ARF!"

The blimp stops in front of the castle at the top. The block dog gets a letter in its mouth. He slips the note through the window. Leaf goes over there, trying to see who lives in the castle. "I wonders who is it? Maybe they're the king or the queen of this place?" She gasps and got excited as her eyes sparkles. "Or what if it's a princess or prince?!" The girl squeals excitedly. After a few moments, a bridge emerges from the blimp. The first person to come out of the top is a blonde haired woman wearing a beautiful pink dress, long white gloves, and brings a kind and pleasant feeling to the atmosphere.

"Now Princess, watch your step!" Someone behind her said. He has a deep, "old" English accent in his voice.
"I'm fine Toadsworth. Really I am." She responds. When she steps on the blimp, she looks up and sees Leaf. "Well, hello there!" She gives a smile to the girl. "I suppose you must be going to Pi'illo Island with us. How splendid!" She has a soft and sweet tone to her voice. Leaf gasps as she saw a woman in pink dress, appeared to be a princess. She nods. "Y-yes, I am! I thought i was going alone." Leaf smiles and almost forgot to introduce herself. "Oh I'm Leaf by the way, and I'm from the Kanto Region. So my guesses were right after all. You're the ruler of the kingdom?" She asked.

“Ruler? Me?" She chuckles at the comment. "Well, I wouldn't call myself a ruler but-"
"B-But of course you're the ruler! You are royalty after all!" The old voice said. From behind the princess, came a very short old man with a gray mustache. He has...A beige mushroom for a head with brown spots and he carries a staff. "Royalty as in princess, and therefore you are the ruler of the kingdom." He said.
"Ah right! My apologies. We haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Peach." She says doing a curtsy. "And this is my personal attendant, Toadsworth. It's a pleasure to meet you Leaf."
"Well, well, well! Certainly fascinating to meet new people, yes?" Toadsworth says. Leaf nods and giggles as she looks at them. "It's very nice to you two-" she then stopped. Leaf took another look at Toadsworth, realizing that he isn't human but a mushroom-like humanoid man. She was shocked as she started shaking. "F-f-forgive me for ask-asking b-but... Is he a pok-pokemon?! But pokemon can't talk! How is that possible?!" She asked. The Princess gives Leaf this perplexed look. "A...Pokémon?" She repeats with a tilted head.
"Wha-wha-wha!? What is this sort of blasphemy? I am a bonafide Toad thank you very much!" Toadsworth says in his distinct English accent. He straightens himself up. Ahem. He walks around Leaf carrying his staff for support. As he does, two more Toads come out from the castle. These toads were very much different, as they had a white mushroom head with red spots and wear blue vests, and have the same stubby brown shows Toadsworth has.
"You mentioned that you were from a place called the Kanto region, yes? Is that where these...Pokémon are from?" Princess Peach asks. Leaf took several deep breaths slowly and tried to calm herself down. She saw two more Toads as she was surprised that there's another creatures that are not pokemon. "A toad you say? I never knew much about Toads." She then looks at Princess Peach and nods. "Yes ma'am." She then takes out two pokeballs and let's out Bulbasaur and Pikachu. "Come on. Out, you two!" The two pokemon appeared, two of them were excited as they cried happily but when they look around, they got confused. "Pika?" "Bulba?"


"Oh my!" Peach exclaims when she sees the two Pokémon appear. Toadsworth instinctively jumps back seeing these unknown animals as the other Toads do the same. Peach kneels down to look at them. "So these are Pokémon. What adorable little creatures!" She giggles at the sight of them.
"N-N-Now-Now Princess, don't get too close to them!" Toadsworth says in a cautious tone.
"Relax Toadsworth. They seem utterly harmless." Princess Peach looks fascinated by them. She can't stop looking at them. There were so foreign to her, so interesting...

"MASTER MARIO! MASTER LUIGI! COME! COME QUICKLY!" Toadsworth yells.


“Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait!" She said as she raised her hands. Leaf chuckles nervously. "Don't worry, they won't hurt anyone. You see, They're pokemon, and in Kanto, there's different kind of pokemon." She explained. Pikachu and Bulbasaur looks at them curiously, wondering who they are. Toadsworth strokes his chin in interest. "Hmm....Still concerning...But as long as they are harmless...I suppose I have less of a reason to hold ill will towards them."

"WAHOO!!" A high pitched energetic sound came from the castle. Peach turns around taking he attention off the Pokémon before her.
"Leaf. I would like to introduce to you two very close friends of mine."
Jumping out of the castle was a man dressed in red with blue overalls. He had a red cap with the letter "M" on it. White gloves covered his hands and he had a distinct mustache on his face. He jumps on the blimp.
"Master Mario! Good to see that you've made it chum." Toadsworth says.
"Mario. I'd like to introduce to you our newest companion Leaf and her adorable Pokémon!" Peach says with excited kindness.

"Hm?" He looks over Peach and sees the monsters before him. "Woah! Mama mia!" He exclaims.
"Pika?"
"Bulbasuar!"

"Aren't they just the cutest things?" Peach adds.

Leaf smiles and giggles. "Nice to meet you, Mario." She said. She then pointed at her pokemon as she continues. "The yellow one is the electric mouse pokemon, Pikachu. And the green one is the grass pokemon, Bulbasaur."

Pikachu! Pika!" The yellow Pokémon shouted with pride. She jumped up and landed on its tail while waving its arms. Little sparks of lighting emitted from its cheeks. It's trying to entertain.
"Wow!" Peach and Mario exclaimed.
"Buuuulba!" Bulbasuar slowly raised its vines to Mario. Mario shook Bulbasuar's vine as a handshake.
"Hee hee! Nice to meet ya too!" Mario said. "Bulba!"
Leaf then realized something. "Say, where's the second friend you were talking about?" She asked.


"Oh! Yes, of course.” Peach turns around again. "Luigi!!"
"Master Luigi! Hurry, hurry! Tally-ho!" Toadsworth said.

"Yah!" Out coming from the opening as well was a green clothed man dressed similar to Mario, except he had his own distinct mustache and was visually taller than him. But as soon as he lands, trips and falls flat on his face.

"...Mama mia…" He says weakly. Pikachu jumps of its tail and walks over to Luigi. "Pika?" The Pokémon pokes Luigi's head. As Luigi raises his head and first sees Pikachu...

...

"Pika! PIKACHU!"

"WAH!" Luigi jumps up with a fright and hides behind Mario. Pikachu tilts her head. "Pika?"

"Ooooh... That's gotta hurt." She said. After that, she laughs a bit when Luigi got scared of Pikachu. "It's ok! Pikachu is not gonna hurt you. Beside those two, i do have 3 more pokemon but i think I'll wait. I Don't wanna scare more people."

Luigi lets out a breath of relief. Mario pats his back to comfort him and explains to him what has happened so far. Peach giggles a little. "As you've heard, that's Mario's brother, Luigi. He may be taller, but he's actually the youngest of the two. Hee hee! Together, their the Super Mario Brothers! They've helped us multiple times throughout our adventures! Like the time the Sprixie Kingdom was in danger and..."

As Peach told her story, the blimp retracted its bridge and began to fly into the sky making it's way for Pi'illo Island.

~A While Later~

"Hmm...Pi'illo Island...Can’t say I've heard of it. Er, Princess I belie-" Toadsworth stopped his sentence by seeing Peach playing with Pikachu. She's on her shoulder dancing around.
Leaf giggles at the sight of it. "P-PRINCESS!" He exclaimed. Peach and Pikachu stopped. Leaf was startled as well. "I, ahem I have a rather uneasy feeling about this trip. There's still time turn back. So I sugge-"

"BROOOF!!" The block dog's bark surprised Toadsworth so much that he jumped back against the rails. The dog steps back and turns around. On his rear side (where there's also a band-aid) it goes up like a screen opening. Like a TV, the screen turns on. There is a man with a big nose. His hair looked like wool you would find on a sheep and he had yellow circular horns on his head. He has a white mustache similar to Luigi.

"Oh! Who's this?" Peach asked.
"Mm-yes, hello. Nice meeting you." The man said. "I am the proprietor of Pi'illo Island. I am Dr. Snoozemore anzz…"

The man fell asleep.
"Is he...Asleep?" Peach questioned.

After the block dog turned around and had the screen turning on, Leaf was surprised. "Never knew you can do that." As the man, Dr. Snoozemore introduce himself and before he could said anything, leaf scratches her head when he fell asleep. "I think he is." She said. "Um hello? Dr. Snoozemore?"


Dr. Snoozemore wakes back up again.
"Oops! Please excuse me. As you might have guessed, I research the science of sleep. Mm-yes, and on Pi'illo Island, there's a special power that makes you sleep soundzzz…" He falls asleep again. Toadsworth can be seen growing rather irritated by Dr. Snoozemore's random snoozing.
"A special sleep power?! What poppycock! Scoundrel! Wake up and explain yourself!" He demanded.
"Dr. Snoozemore becomes awake again.
"Mm yes. Well, this is no time for a lecture. I shall meet youzzz...I-In due time! As our next stop..."
The view of the island resort can be seen from above.
"Is on Pi'illo Island!"


END OF PROLOGUE

Prologue:Link and Zelda

~Hyrulian Fields~


The breeze...The calming breeze flows through the air. The sun shines bright on the calming, glistening grass. The ambience of Mother Nature's sounds fill the atmosphere. The rustling of trees scare off the little animals of the forest. Under the shade of the tree is Princess Zelda. She's sitting down listening to what she believes to be peace.


"It's nice...To see and hear nature in it's full glory. It's quite fascinating." She states aloud.


Standing a little apart from Zelda, Link looked around politely at the nature she had indicated. He supposed it was fascinating. To him, it was just what the world was. Perhaps as a scholar, the princess got more out of mundane things than he did.

His gaze returned to Zelda, a quizzical look on his face.

"...I want to keep this part. This peaceful place that needs to be untouched. For all people to witness and be emerged in this beauty and future generations as well." She looks at Link and smiles. A few moments pass as the beautiful air continues to sooth the princess's worries. But then...Her and Link's slate start blinking. Zelda looks a little concerned. "What in Hylia…?" She gets her slate and looks at it. It's glowing...White.

"Is the same happening to you?" She asks Link.

Untouched? That seemed easy enough. Though that might mean more animals would come here like wolves, or even goats. Evil, evil goats. Why in the name of the goddesses did they always try to head butt him when he got clo-

Link's internal question was cut off when his and Zelda's slates started blinking. He pulled his up and tried to figure out what it meant, but this was something he hadn't encountered before with the slate. To answer the Princess's question, Link held up his slate for her to see. Zelda places her hand on her chin and looks at her slate. “What could this mean?...” She taps the slate and then it flips to the map screen. The same happens for Link. It scrolls far. Farther. Farther. VERY far out of Hyrule. Zelda’s face switches from confusion to perplexed to surprised trying to make sense of this. It then stops. There is an island figure on the map. A blinking dot is there. Zelda taps on it and the screen shows a peculiar stone. “What a facinating relic...” It displays a countless amount of information for it.

“Link...This stone...Th-This is unbelievable! This stone has some sort of energy or force that has reached the Slate on its own! How extrodinary...” She gets up and walks a little bit before coming to a stop. “It says here that this ‘Dream Stone’ can grant wishes if it has enough power. My...A wish granting stone...Amazing...”

Link moved over to see what was going on on Zelda’s slate. So, a stone was contacting their slates. Must also be Sheikah technology, as far as he knew. From his understanding of Sheikah devices, this stone must have been activated. But what was the intent of activating it?

But it being a wish fulfilling stone wasn’t something that could be ignored. Hyrule still bore scars from Calamity Ganon. Perhaps this stone could fix them. Maybe even bring back the Champions.

Mipha...

“How far?” Link asked, eyeing the image of the stone.


"Why...It's far out across the ocean on an island. Meters, no...400 kilometers away from the Hyrule country itself! Unbelievable..." Zelda looks closely at her slate, focusing on the stone presented to her. She slowly looks up at Link. "Link...This could be our chance...The powers of this stone could be unimaginable if the Slate could sense it outside of Hyrule! The damaged caused by Ganon...The people...The Champions..." Zelda's eyes are filled with wonder and curiosity. "If we could find this stone, it would do wonders for us. It could do miracles...Multiple miracles...Link, this is amazing! Unimaginable! Hah hah hah! This is as legendary as the Triforce!" Zelda jumped up due to this discovery. Seeing something new, possibly ever so useful has heightened her enthusiasm and motivation. "The limits of the stone seem nonexistent...We must seek it." She said as if the decision was already made. "The Dream Stone looks more and more like a key component to rebuilding Hyrule the more I look at it. On here, it only lists what it can do. But it doesn't list on how to use or how long it's been there or why it was created...And that's exactly why it intrigues me so much." The scholar smiles so brightly at this brand new discovery. She looks like she's very excited to go and see the stone.

"But...One flaw stands in our way..." Zelda looks at the Slate once again. "And that is a reliable source of transportation..." She views the map, seeing how far it was. "It would be foolish for us to swim there...The Zoras may get tired on the journey, especially on the swim back...Perhaps a boat, but...How long would it last?..." Zelda keeps murmuring to herself on how to get to the island in question.


Link considered a moment, then an idea struck him. He pulled out his slate and got to his pictures. He scrolled through for a few moments till he found what he wanted.
"Any of these left?" He asked, showing Zelda a picture of a Guardian Skywatcher. "Hm?" Zelda looks at the picture. "A Guardian Skywatcher...It travels by air and scan the area for potential threats. Hmm..." An idea strikes Zelda as well. "Are you suggesting that we travel by air to the island?" Link nodded. It certainly a better way than by boat. He wasn’t sure how to control it, but he was use to winging it when it came to dealing with Guardians. Even the Divine Beasts. Zelda thought about the possibly of using a way to travel by air. She gasps. As if she had stricken gold. “...Th-That’s it! Of course! Thank Hylia! Link, I’ve done it! I doubt we will be able to use the Guardians directly, but other methods of traveling there has given me the richest idea yet!” She gets close to Link, with her bright smile and eyes filled with hope. “The Great Fairies! They’re one the most powerful beings in Hyrule. If we are able to get their aid, we’ll be able to travel 400 kilometers in less than 28 seconds...YES! Hah hah! That’s our ticket Link! The Great Fairies! I presume doing your travels, you’re well aquainted with them. Right?” Link considered this for a moment. The Great Fairies were rather..."unique" and odd beings, but powerful nonetheless. They could be of greater help. Link nodded in confirmation and Zelda nodded back. "Brilliant, brilliant! Then I'm more than 100% sure that they'll grant us their power. Please Link. Could you lead me to the closest one?" Zelda asked. Link nods. He does what was asked of him, but not before collecting multiple supplies along the way such as bows, extra weapons, food, and whatnot of the sort. This would be brand new territory. Who knows what could be there? Eventually, they come across the eldest of the Great Fairy sisters. Tera. After Link throws in a large amount of Rupees into the water, she splashes out...But coughs claiming she inhaled water...
"Oh, Great Fairy...I, Zelda, princess of Hyrule, ask of your power to send me and Link to an unknown island outside of Hyrule for we cannot do it without fail ourselves..." Zelda says in a polite tone. "Hmmm..." Tera ponders. "...Hee hee...Considering the generous amount of Rupees your friend has presented through the days and nights...I would be more than welcome to lend you my powers of transportation."
 
On Zelda's face...Tears begin to flow down her cheeks. Link kneels down to see why. "...Thank you...Thank you so much..."
 
Tera holds out her hands and encases Link and Zelda in a pink bubble. They rise up in the air. "Following the directions this island is, this should be the perfect angle."
 
"Wait...Perfect angle?" Zelda repeats, puzzled. The Great Fairy raises her hand behind the bubble...
"Safe travels!"
She flicks the bubble and the two Hylians are blasted into the skies.
 
"Woah, WOOOOAH!! O-OH MY! H-How thrilling!!" Zelda comments. In just a few seconds, the island comes into view. Zelda gasps in wonder. "There it is Link...There's the island!"
 
END OF PROLOGUE

 
 
~Pi'illo Island: Blimport (With Leaf, Lute, and Tiki)~
 
The orange-yellow blimp lands on the port gently and safely near a girl with purple hair(Lute) and a little girl with green hair(Tiki). Stairs come out from the blimp. The princess, Peach, dressed in pink, steps down first with Toadsworth assisting her. "Wow...Here we are!" The two Toads come down the stairs as well. Mario instead jumps down from the platform. "Leaf! Luigi! Come on down!" She says, with excitement in her voice. "Now, now Princess. Calm down. We just got here." Luigi however...Is fast asleep. On the platform. Here there would be blimps all around. There are beings that look like yellow blocks with eyes and a mouth. They had black skinny arms with white gloves on their hands. They seemed to be employees commanding the blimps to come and go. Surrounding the blimport would be all water.
 
~Pi'illo Skies (Pit)~
 
"There it is Pit. Pi'illo Island." Palutena announced in Pit's mind. "I'll try to get you somewhere to land. Any suggestions from your view?" As Pit is in the sky, he would see a flash of pink light go right past him. It was a complete blur!
 
~Bridge to Mushrise Park (Link and Zelda)~
 
The bubble encasing the Princess and the Hero made a sudden stop. It gently placed the Hylian duo down on the ground. Zelda looks up.
"...Wow...Amazing..." She was already amazed. Being outside of Hyrule to be in someplace new and different...It was a whole new experience. There would be a stone bird statue where they are. Behind them would be a bridge, but it seems very poorly made. Up ahead of them would be a large stone castle with a stone symbol that looked to be a pillow with a smiling face on it.
 
 
(For those that need visuals)

Lute looks at the coins. "Is this money? what is it and how do i use it? what is the exchange rate? what can it be exchanged for?" she bombarded Broque with questions. almost as if she were interrogating him.

 

 

Tiki didnt seem to care much about the money and seemed to be paying far more attention to the Groomba, now known as Mar Mar. she herself was unsure how to train anything but was confident in herself that she may find a way to do so.

Pit felt a small weight on his side grow heavier and looked down at his waist to see a small bag of coins he was given fill up from the inside. He took the bag in his hand and shook it a little, the clattering and swooshing of coins inside being heard clearly.

 

"I wonder if I could convert these into hearts somehow. Don't really know what to do with 'em here." Pit vocalized his thoughts as he continued to follow his companions and Broque. "Anyways, thanks mister Broque! It was real nice of you!"

Broque's expression did not change to Lute's barrage of questions. In fact, it almost seemed like he was used to it. "Zee coins, oui! Zey are currency here. Zey can get you mushrooms, souvenirs, flowers, items, a variety of zings to your likings! In fact, we recently acquired a red haired women zat had some...How you say...Interesting objects to sell. Very energetic."
The Gromba in Tiki's embrace looks back at her. Whoever this was...Seemed to like it(?). She was calling it something, sooo...Guess it'll answer to that.
 
"But now...Non hesitation. To zee Pi'illo Castle we go in! Welcome!"
 
And so, the Mario Bros, Peach, Toadsworth, Lute, Pit, Tiki, Mar-Mar the Gromba, and Leaf enter the Pi'illo Castle at last...
 
 
~Pi'illo Castle~
 
(Link): You go with Zelda and Starlow as planned to the pink booth to learn some information about the island. You're greeted by a female representative who introduces herself as a Shelltop. Here's some of the details you got:


Pi’illo Blimport:


“The majestic blimport! Home to our blimp fleet. The Zeeppelin, Conkstream, Snorigible, and Naptune IV. All fine vessels capable of safe and luxurious blimping.”


Mushrise Park:


“A haven of natural beauty, this park is lovingly pruned. Many unusual plant varieties can be found only there. Tourists just LOVE rare flora, it seems!”


Dozing Sands:


“Ooh! This desert region is arid and unforgiving, as you might expect. It’s currently under construction to make it more suitable for sightseeing. Many ruins and artifacts from the ancient Pi’illo Kingdom have been excavated here. Just imagine that! History in the sands! The site continues to be studied.”

This catches Zelda’s attention internally. Could that stone be connected to the Pi’illo Kingdom? She whispers to Link. "Maybe we should mark that as one of the places to go on the island."


Wakeport:


“For a slice of relaxing village life, this port resort simply can’t be beat! There are even events geared toward tourists, so I hope you’ve got skills! It’s no surprise that Wakeport is the most popular spot on the island.”

 

Before the Shelltop could go any farther, a distinct French accent is heard speaking rather loudly and energetic.

"Welcome to zee Pi'illo Castle!"

You see the most bizarre group, bizarre even to you and Zelda. A yellow block man with a mustache and a red bowtie, two men dressed similarly in red and green overalls, a blonde haired woman wearing a pink dress who you discern to be Princess Peach, an old man who looks like the mushroom people you see around the main hallway, a brown haired girl with a yellow bag around her shoulder and a hat, another girl with purple hair and a book, a boy wearing white with...Wings on his back. And finally, a small green haired girl with pointy ears holding a peculiar creature close to her.

"Link, is that...Starlow? Is that Princess Peach?" Zelda asks. Once Starlow catches sight of the group, her eyes light up. "It is! Princess Peach! Mario! Luigi! Toadsworth!"

Starlow dashes over to the group, going to greet them. Zelda looks at Link. "What an odd gathering...They look to be from different places as well. Shall we greet them?"

 

 

Peach and the Bros. look up and see Starlow. Their expressions lighten up even more. "Oh look! Starlow!" Peach exclaims seeing her. She hugs her yellow orbed friend. "You were invited to the island as well?" She asks. "That's right. I came all the way here to represent the Star Sprites." She spins around. "Hello Yello!"

"Hoho! Hello yello, indeed! You seem as peppy as ever." Toadsworth comments.

 

"Huh?"

Starlow floats over her friends to see their...Oddball cast of companions. "...Wow. I don't know how long you guys have been here, but..." She flies around them. "You attracted a lot of different people. That girl has a Gromba in her hands...This one has purple hair..." She stops next to Pit. "And look at this guy! He's got wings! WINGS!" She exclaims.

Peach turns to face Starlow and her new companions. "Starlow, these are our new friends that are also visiting the island. This is Leaf from Kanto, Pit from somewhere called Skyworld, Lute from Magvel, and Tiki from Archanea. Everyone, this is Starlow. She is a dear friend of ours. Oh! And Leaf? She's not a Pokémon."

 

"Woah. I have heard.....

 

Of none of those places. But any friend of Peach's is a friend of mine! And any friend of Mario's of course."

 

"Yoo-hoo!" Luigi calls out, jumping up and down.

"Oh yeah! And Luigi's too. Can't forget him." Starlow says.

 

 

"You guys are really getting excited over a pair of wings.." Pit dryly commented with a puzzled look. Perhaps it was because they still didn't know about the flightless aspect of them.

Broque's expression did not change to Lute's barrage of questions. In fact, it almost seemed like he was used to it. "Zee coins, oui! Zey are currency here. Zey can get you mushrooms, souvenirs, flowers, items, a variety of zings to your likings! In fact, we recently acquired a red haired women zat had some...How you say...Interesting objects to sell.

Leaf was surprised as she first met Starlow. At first, she was about to ask. If Starlow was a pokemon but thankfully, Peach said that she isn't and plus, she can talk like a normal person. The young trainer sighs and nods. "Thank you for telling me that, your highness. It's very nice to meet you, Starlow." She said with smiles. She then looks at Pit. "Well, it is very rare to see a person with actual wings." She chuckles a bit.

Link half listened to the booth as he watched for others, whether friendly or not. He smiled to himself when the entry for Dozing Sands was read out. If you were patient and studied the situation, a solution presented itself. He started looking around for a map of the area to get a picture of it, but new comers entered. The hero went from suspension to bewilderment very quickly. He had seen some things while traveling to free the Divine Beasts, but this was something new entirely. The pink dressed princess made him think they were friendly. Starlow's reaction confirmed it.

Listening to the introductions, Link nodded to each person introduced in turn. It came over him that he was probably going to have to innate introductions on his end. Well, that's the price you paid, meeting new people.

"I'm Link." He said, softer than he intended.

He briefly wondered if he should introduce Zelda. He wasn't sure if that was a duty of a knight or not.

"Well, hello there Link! Pleasure to meet you." Peach says with a curtsy. "Oh yeah!" Starlow flies over Link and Zelda. "I made some new friends too. Aaaalll the way from a place called Hyrule."

 

"Hyrule? Hmm..." Toadsworth comments. "That name strikes an old bell in my memory. May have been in the books in the Mushroom Castle." Zelda's eyes slightly widen. "You know of Hyrule?" She eagerly asks. "Well, I do know my world history to an extent. Rather scarcely, but I would say I'm knowledgeable." Toadsworth responds. "Interesting...Ah! That's right! My name. Terribly sorry. I am Zelda, the princess of Hyrule. And as stated, this is my knight and the hero of Hyrule, Link."

Peach, Mario, Luigi, Toadsworth, and even Broque Monsieur make faces of big interest. "Th-The Princess? My, my! Another form of royalty!" Toadsworth comments.

"Indded. It's already wonderful to meet another princess from another kingdom." Peach says with a tone of excitement and politeness. "I feel the same way, Princess Peach. We've never been outside our country in a long time, so it's a rather perplexing experience for us." Zelda responds. Peach chuckles. "Well, I'm glad you came here. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!" Mario and Luigi both jump in agreement. "And who might these gentlemen be? They seem be in sync both in clothing and movement."

"Ah! These are our heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario and Luigi, the Super Mario brothers."

"Nice to meet ya!" Mario greets.

Heroes from another kingdom...Fascinating. Zelda thought. This place was already filled with diverse people, but people from other countries? This takes things to a whole other realm. "Again, it is wonderful to be acquainted with you all. Perhaps we will become more bonded as time progresses." She says.

 

 

"HONH! Zee royal friendships! Zee diverse cultures and appearances! Ah! It gives me happiness!" Monsieur comments. Starlow leans in towards Peach. "Is he...Always like that?" She asks. Peach nods. "Yes, so far..."

"Now peoples! I must say again...Welcome to zee Pi'illo Island! Zis castle, Pi'illo Castle...You must walk around it. Oui, you must touch many things...You must banter with zee staff...And you must sightsee! Oui! Sightsee zis castle like crazy! Zee tidbits about zis island, zey will sprinkle down. Oui, and zey will guide you how best to enjoy zis paradise. Ah! And don't forget zee, how you say, gift shop?" He points to the right where there's an opening to the shop. "Oui! Buy many zings! And once you have sampled zee sightseeing, return to me and zee final act of tour shall commence. Now allez!" The Broque walks up the steps to talk to the other block staff by the giant door. Starlow turns back to the group. "You guys REEEEALLY have to check out this place. It's, like...ENORMOUS!" She comments.

"Is it possible for us to join you on your tour, Princess?" Zelda asks. Peach nods. "Why, of course! We'll all meet right here to speak Mr. Monsieur again. Does that sound like a plan?"

Zelda nods. "Understood." She turns back to Link with a big smile on her face. "I can't resist Link. Meeting people from other countries is so...It's so thrilling!" She says. "Let's stay by their side for a while. They seem like a lively bunch." She giggles a bit.

 

(Link and Zelda have joined your party! May the Grace of Hylia protect you!)

 

 

Lute examined the two newcomers very closely. Her eyes scanned them up and down. "Where is your blade?" she asked the princess. "Most royals I know carry a blade that shows their status or something of the sort" The Mage was blunt as usual, making her doubt very clear.

 

Tiki simply stood nearby patting the top of the Groomba. "Hey Peachy. Where were you from again? I forgot."

Edited September 8, 20187 yr by HeartOfFerria

"OK sure, but there are other interesting things, too. I mean, when do you ever see a human who learned to use magic on their own, or can use a small ball to tame creatures?" 

 

Pit momentarily broke from his conversation when he heard new voices, turning away from Leaf  and eyeing the two newcomers with intrigue. More humans? No, wait, these ones had pointed ears. Where they elves or something else?

The male, Link he called himself, definitely looked the part of a warrior, what with all his gear and outfit, and apparently the female was royalty. Surely they had their own reasons for being brought here, but Pit nevertheless hoped that they would help the group in stopping whatever force was hiding in Pi'ilo Island.

 

... Wait, royalty?!

Immediately the angel bowed down in a haphazard attempt at showing courtesy to the Hylian.

Link was a bit relieved when Zelda took the lead. She would probably get more out of these strange people. As his eyes swept the group again, he wondered if they were all here for the same reason. A wishing stone would surely get the attention of a great many kingdoms. But if they weren't drawn here by the stone, what was their motive?

The young hero's eyes met Lute's scrutiny. The question she leveled interested him. If the royalty of her kingdom needed to carry blades, maybe they were more often in danger?

"That's what I'm here for." Link replied in a matter of fact tone.

Lute examined the two newcomers very closely. Her eyes scanned them up and down. "Where is your blade?" she asked the princess. "Most royals I know carry a blade that shows their status or something of the sort" The Mage was blunt as usual, making her doubt very clear.

 

Tiki simply stood nearby patting the top of the Groomba. "Hey Peachy. Where were you from again? I forgot."

 

"B-Blade?" Zelda questions. "Well...I suppose in your country that is common for royals, but I carry no such thing. You see, I'm more of a scholar myself, studying the works of ancient history and technology. Although, if you indeed need more proof..." Zelda rolls back her sleeve revealing the back of her hand. On it...A yellow triangle faintly glows with divine sense. Zelda whispers in a hushed tone. "This is our symbol of royalty...The Triforce of Wisdom. In Hyrulian history, this is passed down from princess to princess. All with the same name as mine." She covers it soon after. "As for combat...Link is more of an experienced expert on that."

 

Peach takes notice of the name Tiki called her. Peachy? Aw, what a cute name... She smiles at the girl and kneels down. "From Mushroom Kingdom, dear. And...I've been meaning to ask. What's a little girl like you doing here all by yourself on this island? Where are your parents?" She asks. The Gromba was enjoying these pats on the head.

 

"OK sure, but there are other interesting things, too. I mean, when do you ever see a human who learned to use magic on their own, or can use a small ball to tame creatures?"

... Wait, royalty?!

Immediately the angel bowed down in a haphazard attempt at showing courtesy to the Hylian.

"O-Oh!...Um..." Zelda was taken aback by Pit's act of respect for her. It had been quite a while since people have acted like this to her. "Th-Thank you, um...Pit, was it? Yes, it was. And I must say..." She looks directly at Pit's wings. "Your outside anatomy is quite...Peculiar." She walks closer to Pit. "We do have a species called Rito in our country that can fly, but they have the humanoid appearances of a bird. You seem be more of...An angel."

 

"Mario?" Luigi says to his brother. "Can we check the gift shop? I want to see what we can-a get."

"Sure thing, bro! Let's-a go." Mario responds. The two brothers head to the gift shop.

Lute looks at the mark before shrugging. "I havent heard of such a thing.... however If you say so, who am I to judge." she says before heading off without another word to explore the castle. she decided to follow the Luigi and Mario to a place called a gift shop. do they sell Weapons you give to others? maybe crests and seals. she was rather curious.

 

 

 

"I...Um.....I dont know.... but Im old enough to be on my own..." Tiki didn't seem to understand that the others didn't know what she was. Tiki stopped petting the Groomba. 

"Oh wow, another Princess?!" Leaf was surprised after that. What's interesting about those two is that their ears are appeared to be pointy as well, wondering why and she then thought about it when she looks at Tiki, noticing that she has pointy ears too. Maybe they could be related in some ways or maybe not. Leaf shook her head as she rather wait later and got a little excited when they mentioned the gift shop. "Ohh, let's go~! I wonder what they have~?" She asked.

Link perked up slightly with the mention of a shop. It was always good to check out local shops for useful items. Plus, they might have food. He made to go after Mario and Luigi, but paused. He shouldn't leave Zelda behind. She'd have to go shopping too. He turned back to Zelda, then indicated the plumber brothers with a thumb and his head, his face conveying the question of "want to?"

"If I may ask, how old are you Tiki?" Peach asks innocently.

 

"I- Oh, there she goes..." Zelda comments on Lute walking away. She turns to Link.

Zelda nods to Link. "Yes. Let's see what we can get." She says to the warrior.

 

 

~Gift Shop (Link, Lute, and Leaf: The three Ls)~

 

Inside the gift shop, there are about three shops inside. One booth is managed by a Shelltop, selling items such as red mushrooms, multicolored flowers, and Pi'illo Island Syrup. Possibly the snack shop. The other booth next to it, managed by a blue Shelltop, was selling souvenirs such as a Zeekeeper plush, a small model of a Blimp, a zeekeeper pillow, and even Pi'illo Island stickers. 

 

However...There's one booth that completely stands out. Straight ahead in the back. In there, there seems to be a woman behind the counter sorting out books and bags scattered around the shelves. She has red hair and wearing a red outfit.

 

(Lute): You...You don't why, but this woman looks oddly familiar...Like you've seen her multiple times before even though you can't see her face. 

 

"Wow! Neat!" Luigi exclaims looking around.

So it seems everyone has left to do other things, and just after they all got together, too. The sole remaining angel now stood awkwardly in the middle of the hall turning his head from side to side every few seconds. Nothing stood out among the stone walls and pink carpet laid on the floor, and there unfortunately weren't any nearby signs to indicate what room each corridor led to. Suffice to say, Pit felt a little lost. Bummer...

 

Oh, the little creature, Starlow, was still there. A plan of action soon formed in Pit's head, and he approached the small orb. "Hey, Starlow, was it? waddya say we check this castle out? Look for any trivia, interesting artifacts, that sort of thing?" Pit proposed with an encouraging  smirk. Going on a small side venture with someone by his side wasn't a whole lot to ask, right?

Tiki cocked her head at peach. “About 1000 years last I was told.” She smiles speaking as if this was a completely normal age. Her attention then casually returned to the Groomba. Then back to the castle. “Ooohh lets explore the castle Peachy!”

 

 

Lute stared curiously at the shop keeper upon entry, not even hiding this time. “Wait a minute... i know you from somewhere.” She slowly approaches the woman.

So it seems everyone has left to do other things, and just after they all got together, too. The sole remaining angel now stood awkwardly in the middle of the hall turning his head from side to side every few seconds. Nothing stood out among the stone walls and pink carpet laid on the floor, and there unfortunately weren't any nearby signs to indicate what room each corridor led to. Suffice to say, Pit felt a little lost. Bummer...

Starlow smiled. "Sure thing! Hey, I even heard there was a café here too! Not the most exciting place, but it's still worth checking out." She says, floating by Pit's side.

Peach smiles pleasantly. "Well, that's good to kno-"

 

...1000.

 

1000.

 

ONE. THOUSAND. YEARS.

 

"....What?" Peach questioned shortly after. "A-A-A...A thousand years old???" Her face was filled with confusion. She was looking very closely at Tiki. "B-But you look like you would be 6 or 7! But...Then again..." She kneels down. "You have the same pointy ears like that Link and Zelda....But you aren't from Hyrule..." Peach scratches her head. "Tiki. What are you?" Peach asks the young girl.

 

~The Shop~

 

"What?" The woman rose her head, but it bumped the shelf. "Ouch!" She rubs the back of her head and turns around. Her eyes widen. She points at Lute. "You! I remember you fondly!" She says. "Yes, yes! You're that purple haired mage with those uh...Those-those royal twins! What in the blazes are you doing here??" She exclaims.

 

(Lute): You may not have a personal relation to this person, but seeing her face, you now know of her name. Anna, owner of the secret shops.

"Sweet!" Pit cheered, "I'm not hungry now, though.. Maybe later. C'mon," The angel beckoned as he began walking up to the front door at the end of the hall. He grasped the doors' handles firmly, and with a little push he began to open them. A part of his mind grew curious over what was behind those doors; something helpful, he hoped...

Tiki cocked her head. “Im a dragon. Why? Is that odd?” She looked at her with her usual look of general confusion. Ahe didnt understand why Peach seemed so surprised.

 

 

Lute looked at Anna for some time then at the wares around her. “Where are the tomes?”

Link looked around at the stores, then marched straight up to the shop with the mushrooms. Better to stock up on food now.

“How much?” Link asked, nodding to the mushrooms.

He froze halfway to his money pouch. Did this place vent take rupees?

"Sweet!" Pit cheered, "I'm not hungry now, though.. Maybe later. C'mon," The angel beckoned as he began walking up to the front door at the end of the hall. He grasped the doors' handles firmly, and with a little push he began to open them. A part of his mind grew curious over what was behind those doors; something helpful, he hoped...

"HONH!" Monsieur Broque calls out. He rushes over to Pit. "Moi winged friend. Zis door cannot be opened. Non! Not yet. For it is zee surprise of zee tour. Oui. You would not like to spoil zee surprise, would you?" He says.

 

 

Tiki cocked her head. “Im a dragon. Why? Is that odd?” She looked at her with her usual look of general confusion. Ahe didnt understand why Peach seemed so surprised.

 

 

Lute looked at Anna for some time then at the wares around her. “Where are the tomes?”

 

"A-A dragon?" Peach questions. "W-Well...You certainly don't look like any dragon I've seen." She looks at Tiki more closely. She looks human...But clearly not a dragon at all. No reptilian, no obscuring size. All she sees is just a little girl with pointy ears.  She ponders for a moment. "If you really are a dragon...Could you show me how you are one?"

 

~Shop~

 

When asked the question, Anna slightly looks away, a little ashamed. "Ah...I...Forgot them back at home..." She says with a softer tone. "BUT...I have something better."

 

The Shelltop smiles as she hears Link's request. "That will be 10 coins please."

Link made a face. Just as he feared. It was like dealing with Kilton all over again. He was also short on supplies he felt comfortable selling for this new currency. While not very hopeful, Link held up ten green rupees with a slightly pleasing look in his eyes.

Lute growls “and that would be?”

 

Tiki shakes her head. “I cant show all the time, only when its very important. But i use this” she holds up her dragon stone.

The sudden appearance of Broque caused Pit to jump in surprise and inadvertently let go of the door handles. He could only nervously rub the back of his head after he listened to the man's words. "C'mon, I can take a peek, at least. Riiight? Even just a tiny smudge and I won't tell anyone."
