June 8, 2019... The day that the incident occurred... Where the brave and strong willed Octoling, Desti Octari, had tragically passed away... However... That all changes...

???: Ugh...

In this reality...

???: What the...? Where am I...? What is this place...?

A hardy and mysterious entity had collapsed within a deep forest in the outskirts of the mushroom kingdom... Dazed and confused of where he is, he looks around, and realized where he is...

???: A forest... Strange... There shouldn't be a forest where I was... Did I get launched into another world by that wormhole? Hmm...

He keeps walking around, and after a few minutes of walking around, looking at all the surrounding area, something catches his eye that shocked him

Deer: *walks along the path*

???: Wait... A deer?!

Deer: ! *Runs off as it is spooked*

???: H-Hey! Wait! ... *Thoughts* This can't be... There is no way it's still intact! It was destroyed 5 years ago...! Unless... No... *Runs forth at very high speed and gets out of the forest*

To his surprise, he reaches civilization, but the civilization, the city, and everything else really shocked him...

???: No... This has got to be a mistake... It... It's still here...? ... The Mushroom Kingdom...

It is the good and old Mushroom Kingdom that we all know and love... Which is a bunch of cities with the actual castle in the middle.

???: I... I don't know what to even say... I need to know what is going on...

The being keeps walking around the Kingdom, seemingly attracting others for what he is wearing, which is a dark colored armor with red straps

Guy: Uh... *Runs away*

???: Uh... Ok?

Girl: *gulps and just walks away as fast as she could*

???: Why is... Oh... My armor... Tch... *Runs off away from any crowd and hides in an alleyway* There has to be something going on... Everyone here is still alive... Everyone... The Earth... It's still alive... But how...? He destroyed it years ago... Unless... I'm in a parallel universe... I suppose that's what it could be... But if that is the case... What is the change here...? Hmm... *Eyes lighten up a bit* If that's the case... Then... They're still alive...

The being keeps on walking until he reaches his desired destination, Peach's Castle

???: *Gulps* Let's see... *Takes a deep breath* Perhaps... I can wind down for a little here... And possibly... See them one more time... While asking for information for all this... *Walks to the front door of the castle and knocks*

To his surprise and utter anticlimactic disappointment, a Toad answered the door and looked at Phoenix with a negative vibe

Toad: What do you want?

???: Uh... I'm looking for a said group of people that live here. One of them is Smg4.

Toad: Oh... Hmph, they're not here. Now get lost.

Before he could close the door, the mysterious being puts his foot between the frame and the door

Toad: Hey! *Sees his angry face* O_o

???: Listen... You need to fix your damn attitude right now as I need to know where the people I want to look for are right now!

Toad: I-I don't know where they are! Honest! All I know is that they kept talking about some lame tournament called Water Fest happening in a city that I assume is called... Uh... I forget what it's called, but it's where the kid that looks like a squid goes to everytime.
