Marie was in Princess Peach's castle, speaking with a (random) yellow Toad until Professor Elvin Gadd ( for short) had contacted her, asking for help. "ok, I'll be there soon. Bye Toad, I need to take care of something urgent." she said, already out the door.

Luigi was in professor 's bunker (Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon/2), unsure of what he was needed for. "you see my boy, I had asked Marie to check up on something in the Old Clockworks and she hasn't been back for quite a long time now. You think you can find her and let her know that you've found the Dark Moon piece already?" asked. "sure, if it a helps." Luigi said. Inside, Luigi found something a bit disturbing: Marie was trapped inside a painting. A familiar song was heard and Luigi opened up to DS/Dual Scream to see what the professor wanted. "criminy! is that Marie in the painting?! You'll need to Dark Light Device to do the job then!" said, hanging up afterwards.

All of the Dark Moon pieces were recovered and restored and the ghosts were no longer hostile. Marie smiled seeing that Mario, Luigi and the ghosts have become friends. The next day, a letter was given to Princess Peach. She read the first word: Pi'illo.
