Mario and Luigi: Brothers in Equestria

Twilight stared at the odd, and heroic duo. This was definitely some new species! And apparently, there were two different variants! A red and green one! There was no book that could describe what these two otherworldly beings were, and that excited Twilight! Twilight wanted to ask questions, but she had no idea if they would understand her. Maybe it would be best to keep them held up for a short moment!

But, that wasn't going to be easy...seeing as they had run off without a trace...

Twilight began to search, only to find them inspecting a small, yellow box levitating without any pure explanation as to why in the air. There seemed to be a question mark running along the skin of the box.

Of course, the mario brothers knew what this was, so that must mean that they were still able to go home...

somehow...

They didn't fully think out the details on that, to be honest. But what they DID do was jump into the box, a green mushroom popping out of it. Luigi was quick to grab it, as always. It kinda became a theme with the mario bros. Luigi got the 1-ups and mario held onto the normal mushrooms. It happened to actually be an effective strategy! But no time for that though, they had a unicorn tugging eagerly on their pants.

"Come on! You should stay in the library and wait while I try and get Princess Celestia to take Discord back to the royal gardens!" Twilight said as she tried with all her might to pull these two into her library close by. Mario and Luigi wouldn't budge a single bit. They gave Twilight a look, then they looked to eachother and nodded as they started walking towards the library. Twilight blinked. Maybe they did speak equestrian...

=The city of Canterlot=

Everypony was enjoying their day. The beautiful sun that Celestia had given them was just gorgeous! Nothing could possibly go wrong! Right?

....Right?...Right!

Everypony began wandering around, doing their normal job, then they began to hear big, thunderous footsteps...

Maybe it was going to go wrong...

Ponies began to stop and investigate the sound themselves, and what they saw shocked them immensely. This wasn't your average everyday dragon walking into canterlot. No, this one had a menacing glare, a vicious looking spiked shell, and a furious look on his face, steam puffing out of his nostrils as he breathed.

Who was this evil looking figure? Why, it would be none other then King Bowser, King of the Koopas!

And his trusty son by his side, Bowser Jr. soon-to-be king of the koopas! Or at least, he hopes.

They walked in, looking in the eyes of every pony who stared back at them in complete fear and horror. Bowser and his son stopped in the middle of the road and looked around. Every element was right. No chaos, no evil king and most importantly...

NO MARIO BROTHERS IN SIGHT! This was going to be a breeze!

Bowser looked around at the many ponies to see that they were looking at something else now. Bowser looked to the newcomer, taller then much of the ponies, that was walking in his direction. She stood proudly in front of the two newcomers, her colorful mane flowing in the non-existent wind. She coughed, and tilted her head up. Bowser and his son only stood there, watching her every move, her every breath, her every twitch of the body. Bowser Jr. was first to speak up.

"Wow! Look how big it is pa! It must be their leader!" He said, jumping and crawling up his fathers back, before settling on his head. Bowser chuckled as he held his hand out.

"Excuse me for any complaints I may have caused to your loyal subjects. I do look like quite the imposing figure, don't I?" He said, giving his best friendly smile he could. Celestia blinked, obviously not what she was expecting from such a large creature. She put her hoof on his hand, and was quickly grabbed firmly by the hoof with both of Bowser's hand, shaking it vigorously. "King bowser! King of the Koopas! May I ask of your name as well?" He said in the most professional (And fake) voice he could muster.

Celestia blinked again, before coughing into her hoof and regaining her composure. "Of course! I am Princess Celes-" She was stopped mid-sentence by Bowser Jr.

"Ha! I knew it was a princess! Come on daddy! Let's take it back home! Pretty pretty please?!" He said, poking his father viciously as he said.

Bowser took his son by the shell and held him to his face. "Now now Junior, these are not pets. They are sophisticated people, like us!" He said. Then he said in a small whisper. "But we will take them all later... Just play along with the plan!" He said, pretending to give his son the scolding finger. They gave each other a sly grin, before dropping it to return to business as Bowser placed Jr. on his head again.

"Excuse me if my son had been at all disrespectful, this is a new thing for both of us!" He said, his fake business casual voice back again. "Now, Princess what again?" He said, starting the sentence for the princess.

"Celestia." She said, returning to the matter at hoof. "Now then, Sir Bowser. May I ask of your purpose in coming to Canterlot?" She asked the menacing duo. Bowser looked up to his son, who looked back. Then they both averted their eyes to Celestia again.

"Well...." Bowser began, putting his hands together and pretending to think. "There is two things I wish to talk about with you, now that you mention it..." He said, as he began to put some more plotting into his plan.

"And what would those 'things' be?" She asked, seeing as bowser had finished remembering his problem.

Bowser tapped his sharp looking talons together, finalizing his plan. He clapped his hands together softly as he gave a smile. "Well, for starters, I would like to claim a large amount of land from...er...this...place..." He said. First thing's first, make castles for the minions. That was probably the best course of action. "And secondly...There happens to be a very big threat in your world..." Everypony gasped. A big threat always meant no good.

Celestia was taken back at this. There's no way there could be a threat more dangerous then the accidental escape of Discord, can there? "What might this threat be, exactly?" She asked, her voice shaking a bit at what this evildoer may be.

"There is actually two of them...Brothers from my world now in yours..." At this point, everypony began to talk to eachotherr in fear.

"Who were this dastardly duo? What would they possibly want with Equestria? Why are they so dangerous? Could they be more dangerous then Discord himself?" These questions ran amok in the large group that surrounded the three royal figures.

"Now now, everypony. I am sure we will be able to take care of this large threat...Isn't that right, king Bowser?" She said, her eyes almost pleading to him.

Putty in his talons...Just how he liked it....

"Of course! Our combined forces will surely take over this threat in no time!" He said, shaking Celestia's hoof again with great force from both his hands.

Everypony nodded in agreement. Surely their combined forces can take on this evil group of two! Besides, they had the elements of harmony on their side! There was surely no way they could lose! Right?....Right...?

=Ponyville=

Twilight watched the two converse...Or argue....Or plan out their next move...Well, to be honest, Twilight had absolutely no idea what the two were saying. But this only intrigued her more, making her want to lean in and at least try to understand them.

Mario and Luigi were in a heated conversation, trying to make sense of what had happened today.

First the letter,

Then the pony,

Then the portal, and lastly

'Discord' apparently...

There was literally no way for them to understand exactly how they got there. It all happened too fast for them to fully formulate why they were there at all! They sighed, seeing as they could not come up with anything to explain why they were there. Best to just leave it at that and move on in this new world, they supposed.

"So then...first things first! Who and what are you?" Twilight said as she stood on her hind hooves and balanced herself on the table with her front hooves.

Mario and Luigi blinked at Twilight, then at each other, then they pointed to their hats.

Twilight facehoofed. "No, I don't want to know about your hats, I want to know your names!" She said. This was already begin to frustrate her. Mario took off his hat and held it over to Twilight. She sighed as she took the hat and looked inside it. Then she blinked. There, on a white tag on the back of the hat, was his name.

"Mario Mario" It said. Luigi held out his hat too. Twilight took that one and read his name as well. "Luigi Mario" It read in plain letters. Twilight handed the hats back to their respective owners, and they nodded. "So, you are Mario and Luigi then?" Twilight asked. They nodded, clapping their hands, proud for the little pony on figuring it out. Twilight rolled her eyes and rolled out her next question.

"Aright then, how did you get here?" She asked. Mario and Luigi nodded at each other as they got up and began playing out their day, just as it started.

Twilight watched as they managed to reenact their every move, up to the point where the mail mare came up into their homes, thinking they were Twilight and Fluttershy.

Twilight blinked as they finished up their display. She tried to process everything in her mind.

"So let me get this straight..." She began, looking the Mario brothers in the eyes. "So you just woke up, found a letter in your mailbox that was addressed to somepony else, kept the letter with you, then a mail pony came and took you away, thinking you were me and one of my friends, but transformed in the wrong way, and she took you here, to Equestria...?" She said.

Mario and Luigi had been nodding their heads so hard, they were about to fall off. They slowed to a stop and Twilight nodded. "So then, that portal must still be open! We can take you home and then-" She was interrupted by the sudden explosion of her door falling flat off the hinges. That hasn't happened before...

In came a couple of guards, using a sword and shield with their magic. "Twilight! Step away from those two evildoers and come over here!" They said. They were pushed away by the large imposing yellow and green dragon. "Move over little runts! Those two are MINE!" Bowser said, creating a large boom as he stomped into the room and in front of Twilight. Mario and Luigi were quick to act as they jumped in front of her to protect her and they readied themselves for battle. Bowser simply smacked them aside. "Run kid! Those two are dangerous! And you definitely don't want to get into the crossfire!" Bowser said, pushing Twilight towards the guards.

Twilight blinked as she looked at the guards protecting her. "H-Hey! What's going on?!" Rainbow Dash said from far behind. Twilight looked back to her friend and nodded her head towards the door.

Rainbow Dash flew over and peeked her head over the guards, who were keeping the doorway locked. Mario and Luigi were still recovering from their recent smack as they jumped onto their feet. Bowser chuckled as he readied himself for battle. Mario and Luigi took out their hammers and jumped towards Bowser, only to get smacked out of the way again. They got up faster this time, as Luigi took the first attack and delivered a blow to the side of Bowser's jaw, sending him twirling backwards into a bookcase. The books on shelves R,E,S,W,O,and B fell on Bowser's head in backwards order.

He got up, groaning, before letting out a mad roar of disapproval. Everyone that was around ear shot of that roar almost jumped sky high. Mario went to follow up on Luigi's attack, this time jumping on Bowser's already bruised head. Bowser clawed at Mario and sent him flying though the window and infront of Rarity. Rarity jumped back from the creature in fear as Mario jumped up and ran back in through the window, only to see that Luigi had already gotten knocked out. Mario gulped as he saw the large fist coming his way, and was sent through the window again, this time straight into Rarity and into the wall.

Bowser puffed out smoke from his nose as he crossed his arms. "Tie them up guards, bring them back to canterlot A.S.A.P." He said as he pushed the ponies aside from his exit. Everything was going to plan...

The Mario brothers had been knocked out, thanks to that spell Celestia had put on him. So that meant nothing could get in between him and the beautiful conquering of Equestria AND the Mushroom Kingdom! The stars and planets have finally aligned in favor of this beautiful event!

Mario and Luigi were tied up and put into a carriage, with a confused Twilight looking at the large beast that walked into the carriage as well, and was slowly pulled into the sky, due to his weight holding the driving ponies down...

Twilight looked to Rainbow Dash, who looked back and shrugged. This was definitely not going to be an average day for anypony...
