Okay guys, here is the second part to this one shot.

Now this time, we get to hear everyone's point of views as they explain how much Mario means to them all, and hopefully, Mario will be revived. How will it all turn out? Find out now!

Peach:

It was pretty lonely without anyone friendly to talk to. I mean, the others went off to get the Crystal Stars, Mario was partially dead, and Grodus… yeah, don't get me starting on Grodus. Grodus was currently ranting about how he had always failed at killing Mario and yet Memphis managed to kill him on his first try. I was getting tired of it myself.

"…Memphis managed to do something I haven't done and have been trying to do for years! Course he took the cowardly way out, while I was at least logical, but still…"

"Stop talking like that!" I barked, ending his rant. "He is not dead, and he is gonna be brought back to life whether you like it or not."

"Fat chance," Grodus scoffed. "Quit bothering to try to bring him back. He's as dead as a doornail, and even if he's in some coma, he won't last for much longer."

"Sheesh Grodus, you should at least give him some support," I snarled. "I know you're his enemy, but at least support him instead of making rants."

"You're the one to talk," he shot back. "You haven't done anything but mourn and grieve over that lifeless plumber…"

"Shut up you!" I hissed angrily. "Mario is not dead, and the others are getting the Crystal Stars and Mario is gonna be revived, and your gonna give him some support! So it's either support him, or die either way!"

Grodus was taken aback at my harshness, as he slowly turned his back to me. I looked back at Mario and let out a scoff.

"Why are you so bitterly cold, anyway?" I asked so suddenly.

Grodus, expecting such a question to be asked, let out a sigh and then said.

"That, my dear, is a tale that goes back many years ago. And it's one that I do not wish to discuss."

Well that was relevant.

I just let out a sigh of my own as Grodus slowly walked away and strolled for a bit. I then looked up at the darkened sky, and then had some hope.

"Good luck guys," I said to myself. "Your definitely gonna need it."

Peach - Goombario:

"Mario… We have to find the Crystal Stars soon."

I meant those words that came out of my mouth, and I was devastated for what happened to him. Now wasn't the time to mourn, now's the time to use the energy to find the Crystal Star. I went through the place known as Disaster City, head bonking any monsters that stood in my way.

"I gotta find that Crystal Star, it's here somewhere." I said to myself. I tried running as fast as I could through the city, but quickly got tired but I couldn't give up. I knew Mario would never give up this easily… and heh, once upon a time, I had wanted to be so much like Mario, but Mario told me that I could just be myself and he'd be happy anyway.

Mario has done so much for me.

When I felt alone in the world, with no one but my family to support me, Mario was the one that cared for me, protected me, took me on adventures, and gave me the best gift of all, a friend… and heroic confidence.

I always admired Mario for sharing his confidence with me, but he told me that one couldn't share another's confidence, they have to find it themselves, and it would happen. It made me think of that time when that missile hit Toad Town, and I stopped it from detonating all by myself, I would never forget that.

"If Mario has managed to help me find my own heroic confidence, then I must use all the confidence I have now to find the Crystal Star and bring Mario back to life!" I shouted as I continued onward, using flying bird monsters as a way past a bottomless pit, and it was then that I saw a blue swirling time space rift vortex, sucking in crates and other stuff, and I knew I had to get away.

"These things are sucking in everything. I can't let them get me!" I announced as I then began to charge up just enough to launch myself like a bullet at top speed away from that vortex safely, and I didn't stop until I ended up hitting a lizard monster head first and put it out of commission and it made a strange 'boa rah' sound before being distinguish.

It was then that I got back on my feet and saw a strange glow nearby in some rubble. I walked over and investigated. Removing the rubble, I found it was…

A Crystal Star!

I had grabbed the Golden Crystal Star somehow and felt happier than I have before.

"Okay, Mario! The time has come! I know you said you would never break your promises, and I believe in that, and this one is no exception!"

Mario, I'm coming… big bro and my hero…

Goombario - Lakilester:

"Our targets are the Crystal Stars! I shall begin the search immediately!"

I was now in Mt. Lavalava, scanning the area for a Crystal Star in my cloud.

Memphis, the one who caused all this chaos, the one who killed Mario.

Memphis, who is now Doomaris, and he's going down.

My objective consists of finding the Crystal Stars and using their powers to defeat Doomaris once and for all, and to revive Mario.

Mario- the one I had fought way back in Flower Fields. Under the command of Huff N. Puff, I thought being a bad guy would give me recognition. But then I learned from Mario that I didn't have to be evil to be well known, and he inspired me to become a hero instead, I owe it all to him.

Not to mention he does seem to be against the evil Sir Grodus, which I have serious respect for.

It would suck to have him die unintentionally.

I snapped out of my own thoughts, and continued through the volcano. Any unlucky monsters that stood in my way, be it lizards, birds, snakes or golems were exterminated with my spiny eggs I attacked them with. I noticed that these purple vortexes sucked in everything and more monsters kept appearing.

I shall show no mercy!

After launching a herd of spiny eggs, I managed to continue on, taking out any monsters that stood in my way. Eventually, I saw a strange green glow nearby. I took a better look and saw the green Crystal Star comrade Andrew had earlier, and it was right there, near the lavafall, on a platform. I raced over to it quickly.

"Returning immediately!" I stated to myself, grabbing the green Crystal Star. "It's time to put operation: Revival of Mario into action! The annihilation of Doomaris is mandatory!"

Lakilester - Spike:

"The Crystal Stars! Where are they!?"

I really should have thought twice before choosing Jade Jungle. While the place did have many different fruits of different shapes and sizes, I wasn't anticipating the sky to be so dark and ominous.

"Well, no time to waste." I wasted no time, when a lizard monster appeared and I easily chucked it into the river, taking it out instantly, but then more monsters appeared.

I didn't have the time for this, so I summoned a bunch of Yoshi eggs, and tossed them all at the enemies, taking out all of them as I continued on.

The Crystal Star had to be nearby. After all, we needed them to revive Gonzales.

Gonzales. He's the kind of person who would never give up on searching for them, and would do anything for anyone, whether it be fighting a pirate skeleton, solving a train mystery, or even blasting out of a cannon to the moon, he'd do anything.

The thought made me smirk. As much as the stuff he does confuses me sometimes, I really have respect for him.

I then used my nose to guide me to the Crystal Star. Usually, Yoshis use them when it comes to finding food, but I ended up using it to find the Crystal Star. It's like a gifted ability I was given.

Really, I owe it all to Gonzales, he was the reason why I was born in the first place, and he taught me that when the time comes in the right situation, one must fight until the end.

Now that I think about it, I was thinking that Gonzales was fighting for his life in whatever kind of limbo he was in currently.

Suddenly, my nose picked up something in particular as I saw something glow in the distance. I walked towards a platform near a swamp, and there I saw the Orange Crystal Star glow. I wasted no time as I went and grabbed it.

"Okay Gonzales. No need to worry man." I shouted out loud. "I'm not gonna let you die and let you miss out on all the action and excitement that we all desperately need!"

Not if I have a say in it, Gonzales!

Spike - Koops:

"I'll… I'll never give up. LET'S GO!"

It's so strange. The irony of how much more confident and courageous I was acting.

I mean I, Koops the Koopa actually went as far as convince everyone else to continue fighting and not give up hope. The old me would never have done anything like that. In fact, I would have been caved in right on the spot.

"Regardless, I shall continue to fight for Mario and the entire planet." I declared as I trekked through the Dry Dry Desert.

Many monsters appeared but they didn't stand a chance as I rammed into them with my shell, and launching myself on any flying bird monsters. I then noticed after continuing, I saw these weird purple vortexes popping up, sucking in crates and everything that was nearby.

"NRRRRGGGHHHH…" I struggled, fighting through the force. "These things are really dangerous. I hope the others aren't having trouble with them."

Eventually, I broke free using my full power shell toss, which an unlucky snake monster got a taste of some harden shell and was taken out right on the spot.

I came out from my shell and continued onward. I have to say, this dark sky really creeps me out, and I really just wanna bring back Mario.

Now that I think of it, I believe Mario had allowed me to defeat Hooktail with him to avenge my fallen father, and then my father was revealed to be alive. I don't know how I forgot that, or how I even ended up in the future.

But seriously, Mario has taught me about being courageous and getting through your worse fears, and in this case, the fear he helped me break through, was the loneliness I endured, and the self confidence I had facing my fears.

I continued through the desert. Eventually, I saw the ruins and a glow right on a pedestial. I climbed up it, and then saw that sitting on it, was the white Crystal Star, which strangely, was the Crystal Star Hooktail had long ago. I went up to it and grabbed it.

"Alright! Mario, here I come," I declared out loud. "You helped me ignite life back into me. Now allow me to return the favor."

Koops - Ms. Mowz:

"Hmmm… this place looks like a decent and simple for a badge thief like me."

I had arrived at Keelhaul Key and noticed how the sky was dark here too. I also noticed more higher grounds with the rocky mountains were easy to go up. So I decided to use that to my advantage and climbed up ninja style and made my way to the top, already getting a better view from that height.

"Now let's find that Crystal Star." I started to navigate, jumping from mountain to mountain as any monsters I encountered, I tossed fake badges which are a type of bomb, at them as they imploded and took all of them out. As I continued, my treasure hunting instincts were picking up the Crystal Stars' energy nearby.

Gosh, Mario would be so proud of me.

You know, Mario and I don't chat that often, even after those first three encounters in Hooktail Castle, The Great Tree and Glitzville, but I then noticed and remembered that he gave me that exclusive badge that I had wanted, and even though it was a little test, he still showed me the simplest act of kindness that I so desperately need. I could never forget that.

"Oh Crystal Star, my dearie. I know your nearby." I used my instincts which brought me straight to a beach shore, and right near the shore, was the Blue Crystal Star, the same one that was found on Keelhaul Key. Feeling proud of my treasure hunting instincts working, I went over and grabbed the Crystal Star.

"Mario, I'm coming too." I declared. "And this Crystal Star is gonna proof it too."

And that was a promise.

Ms. Mowz - Vivian:

"Mario, I'm going to save you!"

And I really did mean what I said. I was heartbroken when I found out he died, but now I'm gonna give it my all for him. I was now going through the Shiver Mountain and was embracing the chilly Arctic Wasteland.

"I would do anything to save Mario."

Any monster that came in my path, I automatically set them on fire and scorched them all. I was not gonna give up that easily… especially for Mario.

Mario has done so much for me. He means the world to me.

Before I met Mario, I felt like I was alone in the world, along with the fact that my sister Beldam always punished me, hurt me, and abused me, which made me feel worse, and felt like I had no meaning in my life.

But then Mario came into my life, and he's done a lot of stuff more than I could count. Mario has taken care of me, helped me find that Superbombomb, even though I didn't know his name as his name was stolen at the time and I was assigned to take him out. Mario also cared for me, protected me, brought me on adventures, and most importantly, he gave me his friendship, and helped me build self-confidence, something that Beldam never cared about.

I really wish I could have told Mario that I love him, especially since I almost told him before he left Rogueport after we beaten the Shadow Queen.

I'm so happy that Mario was there for me, and even though he's dead, since there's still a chance to bring him back, I will endure the dangers of this Arctic Wasteland to save him, to repay him for everything he's done for me.

I felt warm tears go down my face, and they would have turned to ice, had I not wiped them away. I had to be brave, for Mario and the entire world.

As I continued through the icy mountain, I scorched all monsters that tried to stop me. Went I went into an ice cave, I saw a red glow at the end of the cave. It was the red Crystal Star, the same one that Doopliss had years ago, and used to steal Mario's name and body.

And it was that day that changed my life… forever.

I floated towards the Crystal Star and grabbed it.

"Okay Mario, I'm on my way," I stated. "I promised that I would always follow you and side with you no matter what. I believe in you Mario."

I'm coming Mario to save you and bring you back because… I love you Mario.

Vivian - Andrew:

"The time space rift is expanding. There's no more time, I need to hurry!"

Course I got stuck with the Creepy Steeple, but then seeing that how big the place was and that I was currently the fastest person in the group now, as I am second to Mario who is dead, but he shall be brought back, I had a feeling I would have been stuck here whether I liked it or not. I guess it beats the Great Tree however. I swear to god though, Mario is seriously gonna owe me for this.

I manage to skate my way through the steeple, tossing spears of lightning at monsters that came in my path, and I also roundhouse kicked some of the snake monsters and golems.

I then hitched a ride from a raven…AGAIN!

What really aggravated me was that these weird time space rift vortexes were popping out of nowhere, sucking in all the crates and such.

Letting out a snarl, I then activated my hover skates and hightailed it out of there, and then I made an attempt and curled into a ball and launched myself, ramming into any monster that was foolish to stand in my way. I then took the opportunity to stomp on the bird monsters to make it to the other side.

Sounds like something he would do.

I tried my hardest not to think of him and instead, focus on getting out of this stupid steeple and find that Crystal Star, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't. Mario has had such a huge impact on everyone-myself included- and to hear of his sudden death was just so depressing. I was not nearly as depressed as I was when I lost my best friend, but still, it felt like a piece of the world has died when we heard of Mario's death.

That and the fact that the world LITERALLY WAS FALLING APART!

When Mario and I stopped that asteroid years ago, I had sacrificed myself, while allowing Mario to live and fight another day. I went down nobly, but Mario- was sniped, executed and killed right on the spot with no one to do anything. I was not able to do anything because I wasn't able to stop Memphis from killing him, and he died.

"I can't blame myself for that," I said, preventing tears from forming. "I promised him that I wouldn't have him be killed, and what I'm doing now, is gonna make up for what had happened to him."

And speaking of which, while I was grinding on a rail, I caught sight of a glowing object, and when I took a closer look, I noticed it was the Crystal Star, the purple colored one.

"Okay, this is it," I said, grabbing the Crystal Star. "Mario, even though I can't stand your ego sometimes, Koops and I can't do this without you, so I'm begging you to come back to life and save the world dammit."

And gosh, I meant everything I said.

Andrew - Peach:

They say that time isn't something that stands still forever, although in this limbo, there wasn't any time anymore.

And they say that people can't live forever either.

But Mario made it feel like it did though. I have a lot of great memories with Mario, whether it'd be staying at the castle, traveling to Isle Delfino, or even go to Rogueport, I have so many memories with him, that I can never forget.

I then looked back down to the lifeless Mario still, seeing that life doesn't last forever.

Just as I felt some tears about to stream down my face, I saw something brown in the distance. When I got a closer look, I saw it was Goombario, and he was holding the Golden Crystal Star somehow, and he looked as happy as a kid who got candy.

"PEACH! I GOT THE CRYSTAL STAR!" Goombario cheered happily as he raced over to me.

"Great!" I said excitingly. "What should I do with Mario?"

"Place him in the center," Goombario said as I did just that. "Now we just wait for the others to come back."

"Yes." I agreed.

It was then that Lakilester descended from the sky and was holding the green Crystal Star.

"Crystal Star acquired." He said, approaching Goombario and I. "Time to put Operation Revival of Mario into action."

"I'm just as excited as you are buddy." Goombario sounded thrilled.

A moment later, Spike came racing back, carrying the orange Crystal Star and skid to a stop to Goombario. He then saw Mario and said to Goombario that he looks so confident, even with his eyes close. Goombario agreed as Lakilester gave a thumbs up.

We then saw a green Koopa shell, which was actually Koops carrying the white Crystal Star. After he managed to stop, he got out of his shell, and raced towards us with the Crystal Star, giving Spike a high five and Goombario a thumbs up.

At this rate, Mario will be back in no time.

Next to come was Ms. Mowz, who made a ninja style appearance, bearing the blue Crystal Star and showing it to Spike's face, and Spike actually smirked in retaliation stating that he found his first. Ms. Mowz shrugged and let him win this time around.

It was then when Vivian came from the shadows and emerged to surface carrying the red Crystal Star, which she stated that it symbolizes how much she cares for Mario. No one decided to argue with that, but all of us were completely relieved when Andrew teleported out of no where, using the purple Crystal Star he found to teleport here.

It was then that everyone got ready, even Grodus was now standing to the side.

"The servers are," Goombario said.

"The seven Crystals," Lakilester said.

"Crystal is power," Spike said.

"Power turns into thoughts." Koops continued for them.

"Turn your thoughts into power." Ms. Mowz said.

"Power is enriched by the heart." Vivian said happily.

"The controller is the one to unify the Crystals," Andrew finished. "Except there is no controller."

I nodded my head and stepped up and got into a praying position.

It was time.

"Oh Crystal Stars, stars of miracles," I prayed. "Please accept my call."

In the background behind me, Spike was leaning in to see what was happening, Goombario leaned close, hoping this'll work, Vivian was making the same praying hand gesture I was, Ms. Mowz leaned on Lakilesters cloud to hope this works, Lakilester looked determined, Grodus was glancing away, Koops had gripped teeth, confident into hoping this works, and Andrew had his arms folded, wishing this is successful.

"I wish to save this world, I wish to cleanse my care givers sin, and I wish to talk to Mario once again!" I said as the Crystal Stars, surrounding Mario in a circle, floated up along with Mario, as I walked closer to him.

"You have given me so many things," I said honestly. "A view of the world, a view of one's happiness, and even a sense of adventure."

"I know you don't require apologies, but I must, for this once, for the trouble you went through for me. Now it's my turn to return the favor." I sounded determined. "I care not what happens to this world, but please heed my voice, and my plead of call."

Tears came down my eyes, as I then cried.

"Mario, come back! To me, to us, to the world!"

We all need you to smile again.

I then leaned down and puckered my lips and leaned down to Mario's lips, sharing my love for him and to bring him back. Once I did, a bright light occurred, and the unspeakable happened.

TO BE CONTINUED...
