Smash: Emissary

Chapter 1: Pilot

Hello! And welcome to the all-new, redone and re-written Smash: Emissary. For those unaware (as the old chapters will be gone when this goes up), this story has been in a limbo for me for a long time, due to both lack of motivation and a bad story on my part. However, I have overhauled the story completely and am much happier with how this version of it will turn out.

I'm sure this is news for my Ao3 and Wattpad readers, as I never put those updates on those platforms. So, surprise!

Those who have read the original before the posting of this new version will find that certain story ideas or character threads have carried over to this new version. I had good ideas before, but poor execution, and I didn't want the good ideas I had to go to waste. But there are also big changes from the initial story as well, ones I hope make it all the better. This story as a whole will be on the shorter side compared to my other stories, currently sitting at around 10-12 chapters potential, but I'm wanting to make those chapters count. I hope that across its run, this story is both entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you for supporting what I do, and enjoy the Pilot chapter of the all new, Smash: Emissary.

Smash: Emissary

Chapter 1: Pilot

When Princess Peach Toadstool wanted to prepare for the banquet and meeting she had planned, she wasn't expecting to face as many complications as she was here. The kitchens of her castle had been a chaotic, hectic scramble last she checked, and time was running out before the princess of Sarasaland arrived at the castle.

The event in question was a meeting Peach deemed as one of the most important in her royal tenure: negotiations to form a multi-kingdom alliance against those who would threaten their kingdoms. Primarily, the ever-looming and ever-consistent threat of the Koopa King Bowser, who has proven time and again to be an enemy of the people of almost every other kingdom in the land, especially her own Mushroom Kingdom. So her and Princess Daisy of Sarasaland had decided enough was enough, and they would be the beginning of a united front against Bowser. Previously, the lands have had to rely on the heroics of the Mario Brothers.

Brothers who had run late with a special gift that would be presented as a token of friendship and unity not just between the mushroom Kingdom and Sarasaland, but for any kingdom that would join their fold. And with the clock ticking until Daisy arrived, Peach began to become more and more stressed. As her subjects, the Toads, sprinted back and forth in order to finish prepping, she stopped one of them along the way and pulled them aside.

"Have you heard from the Captain yet? Daisy is due soon and the Brothers are transporting the gift!" She asked.

"No, princess," The Toad shook his head. "We haven't heard from Captain Toad since they crossed the kingdom's borders."

Peach sighed. "Thank you," The princess said gratefully. The Toad nodded and continued on his own business. Peach sighed and shook her head. Where are you, Mario?

"Princess, princess!" One of the other Toads began hopping frantically down the hall towards her. "They're here! They're here!" Peach perked up, and rushed through her castle's halls until she reached the front gate. The massive front doors swung open, held open by more of her loyal Toads, and a massive wooden crate five times her own size was hauled through the doorway, carried from below by none other than the Mario brothers: the shorter but elder Mario and the taller yet younger Luigi. Both seemed to have a stable hold on what they were carrying but they also seemed tired, having presumably carried it quite the long way.
