"So we gonna get there first?" Applebloom asked

Techno looked around "Yes, We should be the first ones there. We are to see what we can find"

"Scouting out?" Applebloom asked again

Techno's group made their way to Bowser's Castle. Looking fierce like always.

"A-Are we going in there?"

Techno nodded, "Yep, that's the place. Right Luigi?" Luigi nodded and then proceeded to walk towards the castle.

Upon getting to the doorway, they get caught by Bowser's minions.

"Now see here, You won't get through here this time. Time to die." Bowser said

After about three minutes, Techno and Co. got caught by Bowser and his minions.

"Gah... Maybe Fluttershy was right..." Techno thought to himself.

Mario's group

"So we're going through a cave to get there?" Spike asked. Mario turned around and nodded.

They were now under the mushroom kingdom. Yet nothing out of an ordinary in this cave. They walked around to find a quicker way there.

"Are you sure we're not going in circles?" Sweetie Belle sounded like she was complaining.

Mario then looked around... then shrugs.

"The cave looks so similar no matter where you go, I'd understand why you'd think that" Applejack said.

Sweetie Belle rolled her eyes and continued onwards.

10 minutes later, they all decided to take a break. Looking around this barren cave. Not one thing to see other then rocks the form the cave walls.

Applejack stood up and said "Exactly how are we gonna get there if we don't even know where we are?"

Moments after, the cave wall blow and two figures emerged. Mario noticed then and get ready.

"Waluigi you idiot! Follow what I tell you, not some good for nothing talking mushroom. Next time, let me handle the bomb" One of the two yelled at the other.

"Sorry for listening to a person who talks to a talking mushroom in the first place" The other yelled back.

"He said he found it from this swirling thing in the sky" The other finished that statement and then noticed the group standing there. Hey! How long have you been standing there...? Mario?"

"We've been here since before you broke the wall" Spike said.

"Who are these fellows?" Applejack asked

"We are Wario and Waluigi!" the chubby one said

"Wahahah and you better remember that... horse..." Wario and Waluigi then looked at each other..." A horse and dragon talking?"

Mario looked confused, plenty of animals can talk here. From Beans to blocks.

"I am not a horse" Applejack trying to say calmly

Mario then asked why they were here.

"We're here for some treasure, and you'll be getting out of our way" Wario confidently said.

Mario wasn't fazed. He got ready to fight.

"Are we gonna fight?" Sweetie Belle sounding concerned

"Fight us, the great Wario bros?" Wario tried to sound intimidating, but wasn't.

"Wahaha, you're on" Waluigi taunted... and failed like his brother.

Mario quickly dashed toward Wario, sending him back a little. Waluigi looked at Sweetie Belle and started to run towards her. Applejack intercepted him and tried to buck him. Waluigi was able to grab her hind legs in mid-air but both of them couldn't move without giving the other an advantage. Spike ran around Waluigi and poked him in the back. Waluigi still didn't let go.

Meanwhile, Mario threw punches here and there at Wario and so did Wario. They seemed to be going nowhere when Wario suddenly grabbed Mario's fist and threw him towards everyone else.

Knocking everyone out and Waluigi gets planted into the ground. Wario walked over and fanned Waluigi to normal, then flexed.

"Tough ones here" Applejack said

"I was hoping he would lose his focus from me poking him... Maybe next time I will do what I originally thought to do"

"And what in tarnations would that 'ave been?"

"I was thinking about pulling his pants down" Spike giggled a little.

"Really?" Sweetie Belle asked

"Wario said he was gonna win, and I did" Wario gloated

Mario got up for round two, but he looked around to see if he could work with anything here.

"Want some more, Super Mario bro?" Wario said.

Mario only noticed the broken wall and the narrow pathway forwards and where they came from.

"Thinking about your lose, Stupid Mario bro?" Wario just continued to taunt them.

"Why I outta..."

"Calm down Applejack, No need to let them get to you"

After a few second, Applejack let out a breathe and said "Thanks Sweetie" Applejack tilted her hat then got ready again.

Mario then looked at Applejack and told her the plan. Sweetie Belle, Spike, and Applejack were to destact them while Mario looked in where the hole in the wall lays.

"Everyone ready?" Applejack asked

"So me and Spike go for the one in the purple?"

"Correct, While you and Spike deal with Wa something, I'll be handling Wario. Just be cause me might be able to best you two" And with that, everyone headed out.

"Ready for round 2 loser?" Wario taunted

"Hey come here *sigh* Fatty!"

"No one calls Wario a fatty and gets away with it"

With that, Wario charged at Applejack, who was able to stop him. Waluigi come to attack Applejack as well, but Spike ran at him. And collided with him. "Wa?" Waluigi then grabbed Spike and started to laugh at the little dragon. Sweetie Belle then poked him in the leg with her horn. Waluigi let out a scream and dropped Spike.

"Owowowowow!!!" Waluigi continued to scream

Meanwhile, Mario snuck into the hole in the wall. He then found three things in there: A block for a power-up, some kind of scroll, and lastly was some chest. Mario went over to the block and hit it from underneath. And out come a basic fire flower. He jumped to eat it and powered-up.

"Damn it, Waluigi!" Wario was still face-to-face with Applejack. "You can't do anything right"

Waluigi then got up and kicked Sweetie Belle. "Hey, that wasn't very nice..."

Waluigi then went to pick up Spike and throw him. But before he could, two round, red fireballs came flying out of the wall and hit Waluigi. Covering him with soot now. Dropping Spike for the second time, Waluigi started to cough. Wario looked at Waluigi, then got kicked in the face by Applejack. Sending him a few feet as well. Mario handed the scroll to spike then grabbed Waluigi.

"Oh no..." Waluigi said then got thrown.

"Grrrr... We'll get you next time losers" Wario said then ran off

"Huffy huffy... Good thing those two are gone" Spike said

"But what about that scroll in your hand?" Applejack said

Then everyone looked at each other, no one knew what it was for. Then they carried on towards Bowser's Castle.
