BGM: Thwomp Volcano (Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time)
"Hey! Hey! Can you give me a hand?" A Toad asked as he was climbing a rock but with no such luck, but luckily, his Koopa friend pulled him up. "Thank you!"
"No problem!" The Koopa smiled as they proceeded forward on the mountain. It was a lovely day to be rock climbing on an active volcano, but they were doing more than just rock climbing. They were actually researchers and they were going to check out the wild Tanoomba and find out about their natural habitat and their behavior in the wild… also wondering why they chose a volcano that erupts every year to live here.
"I still can't believe there's hardly any notes on the Tanoombas." The Toad muttered.
"Well, at least we're here!" The Koopa grinned as they climbed further, being careful of the Thwomps that would gladly make pancakes of those two.
As they kept walking, the Toad spotted something. "Oh! Oh! There's one!" He exclaimed, pointing to a Tanoomba minding its own business as they proceeded to take out their notebooks and proceeded to study it as it happily ate some grass, unaware of its watchers.
"Likes to eat grass…" The Koopa wrote down as they kept watching it, but the Tanoomba sensed something amiss and turned around before taking off in a hurry.
"Tends to be timid." The Toad wrote down as they followed the Tanoomba until they found it overlooking a downed female Koopa on the ground.
"It is a scavenger." The Koopa said. "Hehehe, to think we'll be famous! Perhaps more famous than Koopa the Quick or even Koops! Or even that scavenger no one pays attention to."
"Yeah! Or even Kylie Koopa, the photographer!"
"Speaking of Kylie…" The Koopa took a closer look with his binoculars as his eyes widened. "Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed and ran over.
"Hey, what's the big idea? Don't get close to it!" The Toad chased after him, and as they got closer, the Tanoomba turned to them, but didn't run away as he turned around to look at the Koopa… as it was none other than Kylie Koopa, not looking so hot. "Is that Kylie? What's she doing way out here?"
"Ooogh…" Kylie groaned and weakly opened her eyes. "Wh-what…?"
"What happened to you?" The Toad wondered.
"I-I was taking pictures… when they attacked…"
"They?" The Toad looked at the Tanoomba. "You mean this thing?"
The Koopa brought out his notepad. "Likes to hurt Koopas." He wrote.
"Don't write that down, ya moron!"
"N-No… not them… I heard something strange… and then… my strength was sapped…"
"Sapped your strength?"
"Now who would-" The Toad paused, looking at the Tanoomba as it looked nervous and then it ran off… and then they heard something.
End BGM
"Hey, do you hear that?"
"Hear what?" The Koopa wondered as he put Kylie on his shoulders as they closed their eyes… and heard something.
"Meeeeyork! Meeeeyork!"
"…You don't think…"
"Soooo, cancel this investigation?"
"Nah, they won't bother us, right?"
"Meeeeyork! Meeeeyork!"
They turned to see not one, but two Fuzzies looking at them… and then they felt a rumble… as their numbers quadrupled just like that, and there were more coming!
"Oh geez! They invaded Thwomp Volcano!"
"Quick! To the warp pipe! We need to get Kylie to the hospital! NOW!"
"On it!"
The Toad and the Koopa quickly booked it out of there as the starving Fuzzies chased after them, chasing their next meal as they quickly dodged the Thwomps as they made some Fuzzy pancakes, but that didn't stop the horde, oh no, they quickly knocked over the Thwomp and chased after them… until they were out of sight when they hit the Warp Pipe.
In the Mushroom Kingdom hospital…
BGM: Pokemon Center (Pokemon X/Y)
A certain nurse walked out of room 206. "I'll be back to check on you soon, alright?"
"Okay… thank you!"
"No problem." She smiled sweetly and closed the door and turned around, revealing to be Kai herself as she walked away from the door to check on another patient as her fellow nurses could never understand it. She's the queen of the Mushroom Kingdom, and also works at the hospital all the time as a nurse… and yet, she does it with stride! They wonder if she's even stressed at all… after all, it's been five years!
Despite what she was expecting, Kai was rarely ever stressed, and when she was stressed, she doesn't show it. She always puts on a brave face as she goes about the Kingdom, making sure everything is okay. Though there's always those god damned meetings that she always has to deal with, and let's not forget those towns that the mayors want to meet with her day after day as she goes around and helps them with their problems.
It was a never ending struggle, but at least she had her friends and her husband to help out. And let's not forget Peach, who always gives her advice on what to do. A mentor, if you will.
She wondered if this stress would get bad and one day get to her, but she keeps telling herself that she'll give her crown to one of her kids when she's near death. She plans on living a long life, after all!
Luckily, Kai isn't usually bothered as most days are better than others… and today was one of those many days. She looked at the clock to see that it was nearly noon as she was already having a lunch date with Vito at Hina's Restaurant before she headed back to being a nurse… or whenever there was a problem somewhere else and then she'd have to go into her queen persona, but so far, Toad Town was being quiet and non-problematic for once, a rarity for Kai… but oh, how she loved it.
No problems means she won't have to abandon her nursing duties to fix something… besides, she hated leaving her patients… but when something happens, her nursing shift ends, her co-workers fill in for her… and off to putting that crown back on and see whatever the problem is.
So far so good, right?
Her stomach growled, signaling that she was extremely hungry… and she knew what she had in mind as she reached for the phone near the front desk, dialing a number.
"Hey, Hina, what's your lunch special for the day?" Kai asked as soon as the phone was picked up.
"Philly Cheesesteaks, of course. I just cooked up a hundred of them a few minutes ago."
"A hundred of them?"
"Yeah… Yuyuko dropped by for a visit."
"Uh oh."
"Luckily, Youmu and Yukari were there to pull her away before things got out of hand."
"Oh good, so there's some for me?" Kai smiled.
"Yeah, got plenty of meat left!"
"Good, I'll be there in a couple of minutes." She said and then hung up.
"Going to lunch soon?" A Toad nurse asked.
"Yeah, I'm going to meet my husband over at Hina's place and eat."
"Sweet!"
"Yeah."
"I'm sure you will have a great lunch date, your highness!" She smiled.
Kai giggled. "Thank you."
Suddenly, the front doors opened. "IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE?!" A voice yelled as they turned to the researchers holding Kylie Koopa.
"What seems to be the problem?" Kai walked forward.
"It's horrible! Kylie Koopa was attacked on Thwomp Mountain… by Fuzzies!"
End BGM
The whole room went silent, as Kai's eyes widened and her whole world started to spin. She knew the Fuzzy population was getting bad… it was already getting bad when Peach was still the ruler, and when Kai became the new ruler along with Vito, they tried everything to stop the Fuzzies from going all over the place, but they got worse over the years.
Some of her patients were victims of Fuzzy attacks, and it seems that she has another victim to nurse back to health. "Come with me." Kai ordered as she took Kylie to the ER and hurried over there, quickly putting her on the bed as she scrambled to find the perfect medicine to take care of Kylie. She was always by herself in the ER, no one else had the skills like she had thanks to Peach training her… except that Mario and Peach were also experts in the ER, but unfortunately, they always come in the afternoon… and double whammy that they were in Delfino for a while.
She could call Luigi, but… she dismissed that thought. Everyone knows that Luigi does not do well under pressure and everyone wondered how in the world he managed to get a doctor's degree when he's nothing more than a train wreck… not to mention that he unintentionally made things worse all the time even though they know he's trying his best. Bless his heart for trying…
She even thought about calling out her Unversed friends, but they don't know a thing about hospitals, unfortunately, and she thought about using Curaga with her Keyblade… but good and skilled nurses don't need Keyblades for this kind of thing, even though it's the easy way out… but Kai doesn't do the easy way out. Oh no, she wants to do it her way.
Kai sighed. "Alright, let's get to work." She said, ignoring the grumbling of her belly.
End BGM
In Hina's Restaurant…
Vito was patiently waiting for his wife at the table, wondering if she's alright or she just forgot to look at the time, or she was doing some last minute preparations on one of her patients. Anything was a possibility… and he was never off the hook either. When Kai was doing something, he was doing something else to help the Kingdom out.
They were a busy family, but man, did they get the job done. The only ones that weren't busy were their little four year old twins. Marco and Anastasia, two lovable little kids that are quite the handful, but they didn't care. Those two are quite adorable.
Vito started to get worried… usually Kai would be over here by now. What could be the problem? He wondered if things were okay at the hospital when suddenly, a bag gently hit the table in front of him, as he jumped a little and saw Souji. "Souji?"
"Take out." He grinned. "I'm sure Kai won't mind if you ate together at the hospital. It was Hina's idea after she saw you all alone and waiting for her."
Vito smiled. "Grazie." He thanked him in Italian and then took the bag, pulled out a few coins.
"Oh no no, it's on the house." He said as Vito looked at him in surprise and walked off with a smile. "Alright, back to taking orders…"
"Hey waiter, there's a Fuzzy in my soup!"
"…There's a what?!" Souji looked on in surprise, as it turned out, when the customer wasn't looking, a Fuzzy hopped on in and decided to bathe itself in the soup. Not the most healthiest of baths, given the noodles and other ingredients, but hey... what can you do?
It was then that he heard a scream coming from the kitchen as he quickly ran in to see Hina trying to get the Fuzzies out of her kitchen. "WILL YOU GET OUT OF HERE?!" She screamed, trying to shoo them away with her ladel that she was using for soup, but then the Fuzzies decided to make the kitchen into a makeshift jungle gym, much to the chef's annoyance.
"Oh my! This is too much!" Sheila said as Hina's metal band was covered with her bangs.
"What was your FIRST clue?!"
Souji sweatdropped. "This is getting out of hand." He said as his hands crackled with electricity.
Back in the hospital…
"There, that should do it." Kai said, hooking up Kylie Koopa with a machine to pump blood into her and turned to the researchers. "She'll be back to normal soon."
"Oh good! We'll check up on her later!" The Toad smiled and the two walked off as Kai chuckled… and when the door closed, she placed her back on the wall… and slid down until she hit the hard floor, raising her head up and looking defeated… mostly because her stomach was getting quite vocal and demanding food.
She was sitting there for a good minute, closing her eyes… until her nose picked up on something delicious that was approaching her and then: "Hungry?" A voice asked as she opened her eyes and saw the bag and her husband.
"Hell. Yes." She said as they went over to the break room while Kai asked a fellow nurse to keep an eye on Kylie as she happily agreed.
"I figured it was a last minute patient." Vito said.
"Ugh… right when I was about to have my lunch break too." She groaned. "It never fails… I go and plan a lunch date and it's always something that gets in the way."
Vito chuckled. "True, but at least we have time for ourselves."
"For now…" She said and began eating her Philly Cheesesteak.
"So, what was it this time?"
Kai sighed after swallowing one of her bites. "Fuzzy attack in Thwomp Volcano."
"They're over there now?!"
"They're everywhere… no matter what we do, it's getting worse." Kai said. "Can't I just have one patient that HASN'T been attacked by a Fuzzy?!" She asked, seeming completely annoyed, and then proceeded to drink some Sunkist to boost her up.
"I heard the Lakitu Theater has been overrun by them."
"Coconut Mall is being attacked constantly… not even the homes are safe…" Kai sighed. "I wish there was something we can do… but no matter what we do, they just keep coming back. Why did they have to multiply when they eat something?!"
"No idea." Vito sighed as they ate silently for a few minutes as he reached a comforting hand to his annoyed wife's hand as she turned to him and smiled. "Hey, we'll get through this. We'll find a way."
"Hopefully." She said, and then her cell phone went off as she answered it. "Yo, what's up?" She asked and then her face darkened a little.
"What is it?" Vito asked.
"Okay, I'll be right there." She said and then hung up, sighing exasperatedly and lowered her head, her forehead meeting her arms. "Council meeting… what do they want now?"
"Well, you always go to those ever since we became rulers."
Kai rolled her eyes. "All because I dated a prince… why couldn't you be a son to someone else?"
"Hey, not my fault." Vito chuckled as Kai chuckled a little too and then she kissed him.
"Well, time to go get my dress on." She said. "I guess my shift is over. I was hoping I'd work until five…" She chuckled and walked off.
"Hey, you know I go to those too." Vito said.
Kai giggled. "I know."
At the council room, specifically next to the Parakarry Post Office…
Kai walked in with Vito right behind her, decked out in her dark purple dress and walked forward, also having purple lipstick, her favorite kind, and wearing purple eyeliner and eyeshadow. If people couldn't guess, purple slowly became Kai's favorite color… and it all started when Peach made a dark purple dress for her.
The people in the council is question was Doctor Toadley, Toadbert, a few Koopas, a Lakitu, a Bob-omb Buddy and a Shy Guy. There were two empty seats, specifically for the royalty as they walked to it and sat down, and then the Shy Guy hit a button as a video screen appeared next to him, played the good ol' Skype music and then showed queen Maria in her throne… looking quite tan. Then again, when you're in a desert region, of course you would get some sun.
"Yo." Maria waved.
"Alright, shall we begin the meeting?" Toadbert asked.
"Yeah, might as well." Kai said.
"Okay, good… BECAUSE I JUST HAD ABOUT ENOUGH OF THESE MUSHROOM DAMNED FUZZIES!" Toadbert yelled.
"Whoa, language!" The Bob-omb Buddy exclaimed.
"Will you watch your language? You most certainly will." Dr. Toadley said.
BGM: What Happens Next? (Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam)
"Oh come on! This has been going on for five god-forsaken years! It was bad enough that they were all over the place when Peach was in power, but it got worse when Kai and Vito became our rulers! Bless their hearts for trying to get rid of them! I know Maria's been trying to get rid of them in Sarasaland!"
"You'd think that they wouldn't be abundant in the desert, but apparently, they got used to it. It's driving me nuts!" Maria complained. "Totally ruined my son's birthday just the other day!"
"They've been all over Bob-omb village." Bob-omb Buddy said. "It's bad enough that they made one of our kind blow up. I didn't think they knew about our fuses!"
"Let's not forget about Koopa Village… which has been destroyed by those monsters!" One of the Koopas exclaimed.
"We're thinking of renaming the Shy Guy Toy Box, the Fuzzy Toy Box. Yes, it's gotten THAT bad! Not even the Snifits aren't enough!" Shy Guy complained.
"My Spiny Farm has been destroyed… why must they ruin my precious Spinies?!" The Lakitu asked before sobbing uncontrollably.
"Pull yourself together, man!" Shy Guy proceeded to shake Lakitu. "You produce Spinies out of thin air from your cloud, for Snifit's sake! You can make more!"
"You don't understand! I named each and every one of them!"
"…Dude, you have issues…" Bob-omb Buddy muttered quietly.
"It's nearly becoming a daily thing with my patients." Kai said. "It's almost 100% Fuzzies and nothing else! Can't it be something like a check-up like I gave E. Gadd last year?!"
I'm surprised that old fart is still around… Toadbert thought to himself.
"Or like, an annual shot I give to the little kids?! Is it too much to ask?!" Kai still complained, sounding really annoyed. This was definitely going to be one of her rare stressful days.
"What do you propose we do? It's just a matter of time before we're literally covered in Fuzzies! Lethal Lava Land is getting overrun by Fuzzies and we know Bowser is trying his best along with that monster you call Guzzlord, but even then! Bowser's Kingdom is gonna be covered!"
"I propose that we do a purge." Dr. Toadley said as everyone looked at him. "Did you hear me correctly? You most certainly did."
"Are you out of your mind? Issuing a purge is the last thing I wanna do." Kai said.
"Oh come on! You issued an order that the Bob-omb Feud will end effective immediately two years ago! …Which I am eternally grateful because that war tore my family apart!" Bob-omb Buddy said. "What's stopping you with issuing a purge?"
"I… I don't know. I don't want to do that. We have exterminators for that."
"Yeah, but their equipment has been eaten by those Fuzzies!" Toadbert said. "By boogity, if we don't do something…"
"Which is why I suggest we do it." Dr. Toadley said. "Unless this is resolved… our very lives will be ruined and this entire world will be no more…"
"Oh come on! We know that's the job of the Heartless!" Shy Guy said. "Last I checked, Fuzzies ain't part of the Heartless army. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd rather be swimming in Heartless rather than Fuzzies, at least they have the decency to not multiply when they devour ones heart!"
"I am aware, but even then-"
"I say we purge them! Avenge my Spiny farm!" Lakitu said.
"Aye!" The three Koopas said.
"Aye!" Shy Guy said.
"By boogity, aye!" Toadbert said.
"Aye!" Bob-omb Buddy jumped.
"Aye!" Maria waved.
"Your highness, you have the final say. Do we purge them or not?" Toadbert said.
"Um… can I think about this?" Kai asked. "I'm not comfortable with issuing a massacre, even if it IS the Fuzzies."
"Take all the time you need, your majesty." Dr. Toadley said.
"Yeah, it's not like we're swimming in Fuzzies… OH WAIT." Shy Guy exclaimed.
End BGM
Later that night, in the castle…
BGM: Peach's Castle (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
Kai sat down on the couch, sighing as Vito sat down next to her as they were watching TV while also their kids were in the living room as well.
Marco had brown hair and blue eyes, as he was wearing a light blue t-shirt with a red Luma in the front as he was wearing brown jeans and sandals as he was drawing a picture.
Anastasia had black straight hair with one of her bangs covering her eyebrow, as she was wearing a dark green blouse with Pikachu watching over a pond with Magikarp breaching over the water, as she was also wearing a little miniskirt that was blue and wore sandals, as she was resting on her mother's lap.
"And in other news, the Fuzzy population has reached an all time high this week as Yoshi's Island has become uninhabitable and the Yoshis scattered to parts unknown. When will this madness end?! WHEN WILL IT?!"
Kai sighed. "I'm gonna go take a bath…" She said.
"Alright." Vito said as Kai got up, gently putting down the sleeping Anastasia on the couch as she walked to the bathroom and closed the door.
She looked at herself in the mirror, looking at those soft purple lips and her eyes… she could definitely see the stress in them.
If there was a cure for her stress, it was basically her nightly baths where she could wash it all out as she rinsed off all her makeup in the sink, lest she wants to bathe in purple water as she reached inside the sink and pulled out her favorite thing. A Peachy bubble bath!
The thought of it made her giggle as she started her bath and proceeded to dump some of it in and put it away… and then she went right on in, turning the water off as soon as it covered her torso.
She sighed deeply, resting her head against the tub and smiling… and then mentally cursed herself for not bringing a book to read. Oh well, not like she cared as she happily soaked in the warm water, not a care in the world.
There was something that she always did after her bath. She would get in her casual clothing and retreat to the game room for a few hours before she went to bed. Aside from the Nintendo Switch, the Wii U, Gamecube, and the Xbox One that Hina gave her, there was also her computer that had a game that she adored playing. In fact, she thanked Julia for introducing it to her after she grew bored with Call of Duty and threw all those obnoxiously bad games into the fiery depths of Hades.
That game… was Overwatch.
Oh, how she adored that game… freezing opponents as Mei, happily healing people as Mercy, giving someone a boost as Lucio, hearing whatever intelligible thing what Hanzo was saying, messing with people as Tracer, putting people to sleep as Ana, sniping people's heads off as Widowmaker, slicing people to pieces as Genji, shooting people in the head with McCree and saying 'It's High Noon', and the one character that she absolutely adores… is D. Va.
She instantly fell in love with her as soon as she picked her up to play.
Kai smiled… she knew exactly who to play as soon as she was done with her bath, happily in her own world… and the one thing that brought her back to reality… was a single small splash.
Kai opened her eyes and looked around, wondering if anything above her fell, like a bar of soap… but strangely, everything was where it was. Could've it been her, moving her leg and she didn't know?
…And then something tickled her leg as she looked down to see something black emerging from the bubbles, and then it grew two eyes, as it if it was staring at her. Kai's eyes widened, a deep blush emerging as she looked like she was about to scream at any second.
"Mee-blub-york?"
Outside of the castle…
Two birds rested on top of the castle, chirping and… possibly chirping about the sunset, not a care in the world.
…Until they heard a blood-curdling scream that was heard throughout the castle, startling the birds and took off, as some residents looked at the castle, wondering if a Boo wandered in and startled the young princess Anastasia, as she's known to be scared easily… but not Luigi scared.
Inside the castle…
"Your highness, what's wrong?!" Toadette, who became Kai and Vito's advisor ever since Toadsworth passed on, burst into the bathroom… and then she saw it. The naked queen, covered in bubbles, had summoned her Keyblade and was beating the hell out of the poor Fuzzy on the ground.
"YOU!" Slash. "PERVERTED!" Slam. "FUZZY!" Slash! "HOW DARE YOU!" She screamed, unleashing hell on the Fuzzy before booting the Fuzzy out the window and into the moat, and unleashing a Thundaga just for good measure.
"…Oh no, they invaded the castle…" Toadette sweatdropped, and then Vito ran in with the kids.
"Honey, what's wrong?!" Vito asked before quickly covering Marco's eyes so he wouldn't be scarred for life.
"Fuzzy… invaded… my bath…!" Kai panted.
"Those meanies are in our home?!" Anastasia paled a little, looking like she was about to cry. "Aunt Toadette, I'm scared!"
"Don't worry, we'll do something… right?" Toadette asked, looking at Kai who covered herself with a towel.
"Oh, you have no idea." Kai growled. "First thing I'm going to do tomorrow is going to be absolutely brutal!"
"What does she mean by that, daddy?" Marco asked.
"Well… I have a feeling the Fuzzies will meet their end."
End BGM
The next day…
BGM: Right Behind You (Team Fortress 2)
Kai opened the doors of her castle, marching straight to the hospital and wearing her dress as she went into the hospital to check on her patients early in the morning… and then found a few Fuzzies munching on the machines that were keeping her patients healthy… as she angrily swiped them off with her Keyblade and impaled them as she proceeded to exterminate all the Fuzzies in the hospital as she walked out.
"Well, she's in a mood." The Koopa Guard said.
"…Do you think it's time?" A nurse asked.
"I hope so."
She then marched straight to the council room where she had texted the other council members to be there, and then soon, they groggily walked into the room, rubbing the sleep out of their eyes while Skype calling Maria… who answered two minutes later.
"Why are you calling us so early in 6:30 in the morning…?" Shy Guy asked. "I haven't had my coffee yet…"
"Yawn… can't this wait until we're all woken up?" Bob-omb Buddy groggily asked.
"This will wake you all up… I've made my decision on the Fuzzies…" Kai said. "We're going to eradicate them until not a single one of them remains."
This woke them all up.
"ARE YOU SAYING…?!" Toadbert yelled.
"Yes."
"By boogity, you came through! I told you she would!" Toadbert looked smugly at the Koopa.
"Ugh… what was that, ten coins?"
"Twenty."
"You said ten last time!"
"May I suggest you get some advice on what to do?" Dr. Toadley asked. "Go to the Worldwalker household… you know where it is."
"Oh trust me, I'm on my way there. They'd be more than happy to do so."
"Oh baby, I can't wait for that!" Shy Guy grinned through his mask.
"And bring in some Youkai from Gensokyo." Dr. Toadley said. "And by all means… get Julia to bring them from her Summon Gem."
"I will." Kai nodded.
"Good… now where is your husband?"
"Sleeping. He's not much of an early bird. But I'll wake him up soon."
"So! Say the word and I'll turn on the alarm!" Toadbert said. "The whole kingdom will be ecstatic."
"Wait until after I'm done chatting with the Worldwalkers. I'll text you to give the signal."
"Roger that, ma'am!"
"Maria! Are you locked and loaded with those airships?"
"Yeah. Paolo and his friends are going to deal with the ones here in Sarasaland. Peashy and I are going to pay the Mushroom Kingdom a visit. I'll drop Antonio off at school before I do."
"Alright, thanks." Kai said and stood up with a smirk. "Meeting adjourned."
"That was the quickest meeting we ever had!" Shy Guy said.
"I WILL AVENGE MY SPINY FRIENDS!" Lakitu exclaimed, pulling out a sword.
"WHERE'D YOU GET THAT SWORD?!" Bob-omb Buddy yelled as they walked out where Kai walked towards the Worldwalker house, texting them ahead of time that she was coming over… and as soon as she got closer, there was a window shattered and a stream of fire engulfing three Fuzzies that jumped out.
End BGM
That's Mokou, alright… She thought and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" A voice said as Kai walked in, seeing that the inside of the house was a total wreck, thanks to the Fuzzies, and Worldwalker and Hikari were avoiding a very angry Mokou who was in the kitchen.
"AGH! THOSE STUPID THINGS ARE ALL MY FLOUR!" She screamed and walked in. "I was totally in the middle of baking something too!"
Kai sweatdropped. "You want me to come by at a later time…?"
"No no, it's fine…" Mokou sighed.
"So, you wanted some advice?" Worldwalker asked.
"Yeah… it's about the Fuzzies. Dr. Toadley suggested I come here first."
"Did he give you advice?" Hikari asked.
"Yeah…" Kai said and explained the whole scenario, excluding the part with the invader in her bath.
"Well, it's about time! What the hell took you so long?" Mokou asked.
"It was the last thing I wanted to do, but… I'm left with no choice."
"We'll be right there with you." Worldwalker said.
Kai smiled. "Thank you." She said.
"Now, where are you going next?" Worldwalker asked.
"Getting a few Youkai." Kai said.
"I'll go get Marisa. She's gonna be thrilled." Mokou said.
"Mommy! Those black things are all over my sandbox… and eating your flowers!" A young voice called out.
"…Cody, could you get Marisa? I'll be a little busy…"
"Got it!" Worldwalker said as he and Hikari ran out as Kai walked out as well… and then heard various explosions as she texted Toadbert while making a portal straight for Gensokyo.
"Do it."
"Oh baby!"
With Toadbert…
"Let's see here… where is that blasted… AHA! Here it is!" He grinned and pressed the button, as the sirens sounded all over the Mushroom Kingdom.
BGM: The Calm (Team Fortress 2)
"Attention Mushroom Kingdom! Attention Mushroom Kingdom! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill! We are going to war against the Fuzzies! For those who can fight, join the war! We are going to purge them into extinction! I repeat, purge them into extinction! By boogity, get your rears in gear if you wanna help!"
Toadbert ended it as the sirens still blared… as he heard cheering from everywhere. "Make us proud, queen Kai!"
In Julia's Doll Shop…
"Oh thank god…" Nan smirked.
"Oh goody, I get to exterminate them all!" Julia chuckled devilishly and then the door opened up to reveal Kai… who seemed to be done gathering up some Youkai.
"Hey Julia, I'd like a favor."
"What is it?" Julia asked.
"Can you bring those guys into the fray? You know the ones that I'm talking about."
Julia smirked. "Oh, I do."
"Good." Kai smirked and walked out as Nan cocked his metal arm.
"I'll get my sister." Nan grinned.
In the castle…
Kai opened up her closet, not wanting to get her dress and shoes dirty as she also got rid of her makeup, as she grabbed her more casual clothing.
In fact, her shirt was a dark red that had Yoshi on it wearing Mario's cap and on the back of it was Mario chasing Yoshi, and she wore long dark blue sweat pants and put on her sandals, as she smirked while putting on purple fingerless gloves.
In Sarasaland…
"Come on, Peashy. Let's head over to the Mushroom Kingdom." Maria said, hopping onto an airship.
"Yay! We get to see aunt Kai again while exterminating Fuzzies!" Peashy grinned, immediately going into her HDD as they flew off.
"Alright, guys! Let's take these Fuzzies out!" Paolo declared.
"YEAH!"
Back in the Mushroom Kingdom, specifically in the forest…
"Meeeyork! Meeeyork!" A Fuzzy said as they saw the majority of Toad Town approaching, as everyone approached them.
"Julia." Kai cued as she raised her Summon Gem in the air, calling out the TF2 Mercenaries as she told them what they were doing and what the Fuzzies were capable of.
"Well, it's better than what we are assigned to on Halloween…" Spy mused.
"Ha ha! Little babies are no match for me!" Heavy grinned.
"Let's give these things hell!" Soldier declared as the Fuzzies gathered themselves up… and then Pyro gleefully aimed his Flamethrower and unleashed fire on the little creatures, causing them to scream where they all charged as some of the Fuzzies retreated, but an airship of Shy Guys was just above them.
"FIRE!" General Guy yelled as one of them dropped a Banzai Bill on top of them, causing a huge explosion.

Back in Toad Town…
"MASTER SPAAAAAAAAARK!" Marisa yelled, unleashing it on several Fuzzies. "Oh ho ho! This is what I call fun!"
"Try to keep up, I just killed a lot more than you!" Dante playfully said.
"Oh, whatever!" Marisa said as she used Orreries Sun on them, as she looked into the castle. "Wonder if there's anything in there?"
In the castle…
A few Fuzzies munched on some cake that was sitting there that some Toads were baking, and then several knives hit them all in the Kitchen, as Sakuya appeared. "That takes care of them in here." She said as she opened the fridge to reveal a frozen Fuzzy and hopped out… and got executed. "Oh no you don't." She said and then disappeared to get rid of the Fuzzies in the rest of the castle.
Library…
"Oh Fuzzies, come on out to plaaaaay~!" Flandre smiled. "…No? Then I guess I'll just have to do this." She said and then pushed her finger into the bookcase… where it all came tumbling down as they went down like dominoes… until all the Fuzzies were revealed, hopping out of the chaos that Flandre created. "Ah, there you are." Flandre said, activating her Lavatein with a wicked grin. "Let's play!"
Lakitu Theater…
"Hmm…" Youmu opened the doors to see tons of Fuzzies having a party. "There you are." She said, swinging her blade to the side to remove some Fuzzy blood off of her sword and then Myon transformed into Youmu as both of them nodded and ran forward, going to town on the Fuzzies.
In the Dojo…
"Fierce Tiger Energy Release!" Meiling exclaimed, and then proceeded to kick the hell out of the Fuzzies that came to her as all of them were killed by her strength… and one came over to take her by surprise from behind, but Meiling pulled her arm back as her fist met the Fuzzies face as it went down. "You all call that combat?"
In Neo's Neo…
"PERFECT FREEZE!" Cirno yelled, freezing all the Fuzzies solid. "Wriggle!"
"WRIGGLE KICK!" Wriggle yelled, kicking all the frozen Fuzzy popsicles that were there. "Mission accomplished!"
"Alright, now let's have some ice cream!" Cirno flew over.
"Uh, don't you know you have to pay for that?"
"Oh come on, Neo isn't here! Free ice Cream!" Cirno grinned, happily munching on Chocolate Mint as Wriggle sweatdropped.
In Coconut Mall…
"AHAHAHA!" Suika yelled, growing huge and stomping on them all. "CRUSH THEM ALL!" She yelled and then breathed fire at the food court, torching the Fuzzies alive… and the food court as well, but all Suika cared about was exterminating them.
Shhwonk Fortress…
Hina Kagiyama walked out after she spun around and the towers crumbled underneath the Fuzzies as she soon came to the final tower and spun around, as the tower crumbled… and on the inside, the floor caved in and crushing all the Fuzzies in the sewers. "Several of them down." She giggled as the goddess flew off somewhere else.
Thwomp Volcano…
"Excuse me! Coming through!" Kasen said, proceeding to push all the Fuzzies down into the volcano where they were all burned alive in the lava and then punching several more into them. "That takes care of that."
Yoshi's Island…
"Hmm, I wonder if this will do." Utsuho wondered as she unleashed a huge ball of radioactive energy and aimed it at the island, where she threw it down and… basically blew the whole island up because of that. But hey, at least the Fuzzies are gone. "WOOHOO! YEAH!" She fist pumped. "Man, I wish Godzilla wasn't taking a nap in Gensokyo, he would've loved this!"
Lethal Lava Land…
"Coming through!" Byakuren exclaimed as she was riding on a motorcycle and running over the Fuzzies and sending some of them in the lava as her followers were right behind her doing clean up with her danmaku., and the rest were rounded up by Captain Murasa and tossed them in front of Bowser's Castle.
"Guzzlord! Dinner time!" Bowser called out as Guzzlord cried and proceeded to eat up the Fuzzies as Byakuren took off once again with the others. "Huh… I didn't know Buddhists drove motorcycles."

Let's get back to Kai, shall we?
"Queen Kai! Queen Kai! We have urgent news!" A Toad approached her as they were still in the forest.
"What is it? Fairy Tail won the war against Zeref?"
"I wish! It's still going on!"
"Dammit… then what is it?"
"A couple of scouts were deep in the forest and discovered a house!"
"Wiggler's?"
"No, someone else by the name of… Pink Gold Peach."
Kai's eyes widened. "Pink Gold Peach?"
"Pink Gold Peach? I thought she was a myth!" A Koopa said.
"Isn't that just a power-up for Peach?" Lakitu wondered.
"That use to be the case until metal copies of Mario and Peach were somehow created, Pink Gold Peach being one of them!" Shy Guy exclaimed. "It was bad enough with Metal Mario, but now he suddenly has a girlfriend! Don't get me started with Gold Mario! WHAT'S WITH ALL THESE SENTIENT BEINGS?! Next thing you tell me is that there's gonna be a metal clone of Bowser!"
"Didn't Gold Mario mysteriously disappear?" A Toad wondered.
"I heard Petey Piranha ate him. Not the healthiest of meals, but… hey... what can you do?"
"Take me to Pink Gold Peach's house." Kai requested as Toad nodded and guided her in while there was an explosion that eliminated a ton of Fuzzies and they soon found a pink gold house.
"Where's Metal Mario? I don't see him in there!" A Koopa said.
"I think he's back in his home in… actually, I don't know WHERE he lives." A Toad said.
"Who cares? I only care about Metal Mario, not that lame excuse of a character they call Pink Gold Peach." Kai said as she was joined by Hina, holding the Brute Shot in her hands.
"Is that-"
"Yep."
"Ugh, great… that waste of a Mario Kart Character slot lives here." She groaned. "I prefer Metal Mario."
"So, what do you suggest we do?" A Toad asked. "We also found out that she may be harboring some Fuzzies in there."
"Oh, big mistake…" Kai growled. "Alright, I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do!" She said, and it was at this moment that an airship came by and stopped overhead, as Maria and Yellow Heart landed on the ground.
"Aunt Kai! Hi!" Yellow Heart waved.
"Hello, Peashy." Kai smiled and then looked at her best friend. "Wow… that is a wicked tan."
Maria smiled. "The sun doesn't bother me like it used to." She said. "Perks of living in a desert." She then turned around. "Oh… that explains why I found you out here."
It was then that another Toad came by. "Ma'am! The Fuzzies in this world have nearly been vanquished! We also received word that Rosalina has taken care of the Fuzzies in space, with the help of Tenshi!"
"Good… and could you get some of the mercenaries?"
"Which ones do you need?"
"Well…"
A little bit later…
"Okay, Heavy, Maria, you're with me. Hina, Peashy, Soldier, Demoman, wait for my signal… and Pyro… I'll let you know." She said as Pyro nodded. "Oh, and can I borrow your Stickybomb Launcher?"
Demoman chuckled and handed it to her. "Here you go, lassie!"
"Thank you. Let's move." Kai said as they walked towards the house… where Heavy slammed his brick wall of a shoulder into it and the door came down.
"Ever heard of knock-… Oh, it's you." A metallic voice said, belong to Pink Gold Peach herself.
"We've heard you've been harboring some Fuzzies." Kai said.
"I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Playing dumb are we." Maria said.
"I'm telling the truth. I'm not hiding any peaceful creatures." Pink Gold Peach said.
"Peaceful?" Kai asked. "PEACEFUL?!" She yelled. "You call raiding the stores, ruining hospital equipment, nearly killing several civilians and invading someone's PERSONAL BATHTIME PEACEFUL?!" She yelled.
…That last one was oddly specific. Maria thought.
Mikhail does not need to know… Heavy thought to himself.
"Did I say peaceful? I meant...uh...could you give me a moment to think of a good excuse?"
"Don't bother! Any excuse you come up with be shot down like the rest of the Fuzzies! Also, mind explaining that chalkboard behind you?!" Kai demanded, pointing at a chalkboard with very suspicious-looking plans written on it.
"Alright, you caught me." Pink Gold Peach admitted. "Me, Metal and Gold Mario are planning to raise an army of Fuzzies to wipe everyone from the kingdoms and replace them with metal counterparts."
"So more knockoffs?! As if you and Gold Mario weren't enough!"
"What about Metal Mario?"
"He's likable unlike you!"
"Well guess what? Metal is the mastermind of all this." Pink Gold Peach smirked.
"What?!"
"You heard me. Metal Mario planned this, he even has a hand with the overpopulation of the Fuzzies."
"And now I hate Metal Mario too." Maria growled.
"In that case, he'll be going down with the Fuzzies, after I deal with you." Kai said.
Pink Gold Peach clenched her fist. "You know… I never liked you. I was hoping to take over the Mushroom Kingdom after my fleshy twin was long gone, but no! You decided to show up and ruin everything! You're not even royalty for Mushroom's sake! You weren't even born royally! And yet, here you are, thinking you know what's best for the Kingdom but you don't! Don't get me started on Sarasaland!"
Kai folded her arms. "I may not have been born royally, but I married royalty… so I actually do know what I'm doing… And that fleshy twin of yours gives me advice from time to time."
"Oh please! You're worse than Peach… in fact, Peach was terrible!"
Kai glared at her. "Well, at least me and Peach are original... unlike you." She said, and then grabbing Pink Gold Peach by the collar. "Now listen here, you pathetic excuse. I've had rare instances of stress over these five years of queen, but when i'm stressed... Well, you won't like me when i'm stressed. This extermination is taking all the stress away... now you will tell me where these Fuzzies are or so help me, i'll tear this place to the GROUND in order to find it!
"Over my dead body!"
Kai smirked. "That can be arranged." She said and then pushed her to the ground, and then they heard 'Meeeyork!' underneath. "Ah, in the basement." She walked forward. "Good."
"NO!" Pink Gold Peach yelled as she tried to run, but Heavy and Maria held her down. "Let… go of me!"
BGM: Dreams of Cruelty (Team Fortress 2)
Kai opened up the basement door… and saw a good handful of Fuzzies hiding. "Ah… there you are." She said as she plastered a few Stickies in there… and then pulled out a Bob-omb in her pocket that one of the Shy Guys gave her just in case she needed it to get rid of the Fuzzies… and now was a good time as she lit it up with a Firaga and threw it in. "Fire in the hole." She said and turned around, closing the door and clicking the button on the Sticky bomb launcher, as they heard a very loud explosion.
"NO!" She screamed. "YOU KILLED THEM! YOU'RE THE WORST RULER EVER!"
"And what do you rule exactly?" Kai asked as she walked forward and kicked her in the gut, causing her to keel over before kicking her in the teeth. "That was for taking the spot light away from people like Diddy Kong or Birdo or… anyone else better than you."
"Come along! We have plan for you!" Heavy chuckled, dragging the unoriginal princess away as Kai calmly stepped out and tossed the weapon back to Demoman where she nodded as Hina, Yellow Heart, Soldier and Demoman proceeded to destroy said house, much to the horror of Pink Gold Peach… before they tied her up to a log.
"I won't stop! I'll never stop!" Pink Gold Peach said. "You fleshies will die and the metals will rise!"
Kai glared at her. "Over my dead body." She said as Pink Gold Peach's eyes widened. "Isn't that what you said to me earlier? Well, you're getting exactly that."
"Oh, No..."
"Pyro."
Pyro gleefully clapped and walked over to Pink Gold Peach, and aimed the flamethrower at her.
In Pyro's mind...
"Please blow bubbles in my face!" A little Pink Gold Peach requested.
Out of Pyro's mind...
"No! NOOOO!"
Pyro proceeded to light her up as she screamed in agony as everyone watched her melt right in front of their eyes.
"Woooow!" Yellow Heart smiled. "Pretty!"
"Well, that's… one way to get rid of her." A Koopa said.
"Thank goodness…" Hina smiled as the fire extinguished… as Pink Gold Peach was nothing more than a puddle.
End BGM
"Now all that's left is Metal Mario… but he won't be much trouble." Kai said as Maria brought out her Poltergust and sucked the puddle up.
"I know what I'm gonna do with this. It's gonna make her quite useful!" She giggled. "Hey Peashy, let's head back to Sarasaland."
"Okay!" Yellow Heart said as she picked her up and took her back to the airship as she turned around and took off back to Sarasaland.
"Alright, let's get rid of the remaining Fuzzies! We were never here!" Kai said.
"Right!"
About an hour later…
"Hey Nitori! Where are we at now?" Kai asked as Nitori had a machine built as everyone was gathered.
"We eliminated everything in this very kingdom… and the last Fuzzies are in Keelhaul Key." Nitori said… and saw a bunch of little dots disappear. "…Or were in Keelhaul Key." She said, completely unaware that Utsuho decided to blow Keelhaul Key up too… much to the anger of Cortez.
"Any more?" Toad asked.
"Nope." Nitori said. "Not a single one here or in any of the Galaxies. The Fuzzies are now extinct!" She smiled… and everyone cheered.
BGM: Ballad of the Goddess (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)
In Toad Town…
Marisa sat down on a roof with Dante, listening to the cheering. "I think we got 'em all." She said as the siren went off.
"Attention Mushroom Kingdom! Attention Mushroom Kingdom! We did it! We eliminated all the Fuzzies off the face of the universe! They're extinct! The Fuzzy Purge is finished! By boogity, our queen rocks! Long live queen Kai! WAHOO!"
"Someone's ecstatic." Dante said.
"Heh, we all are." Marisa said, laying down on her back. "Nothing to worry about."
End BGM
Later into the night…
Kai relaxed in the game room after taking a nice hot bath from the Fuzzies as she smiled. She couldn't wait to tell Peach what she did when she comes home from Delfino.
It was then that the door opened right as she turned her computer on as she turned to see Maria walking in. "Hey."
"Yo, what's up?" Kai asked.
"Well, I'm done with her." Maria said, pulling out an Ultra Hammer of sorts. "I call this the Royal Sapphire Hammer. I decided to pull a branch from Whispy Woods to make the handle and give it a nice golden color." She said as the end of the handle pointing out the top has a Sapphire inlaid on to it and having a crown that looks like Peach's over it hiding the wood from the side. The other end of the hammer also has a Sapphire inlaid into the end to give the hammer a nice look. The ends of the hammer is covered in an Iron end cap made to look like gold with sharpened sapphires inlaid into the End Caps to help cause as much damage as possible. "I also enchanted this to be light weight for the wielder… oh, and it's unbreakable, and I also gave it an unbreakable enchantment for the gems." (Think of this hammer being like the Ultra Hammer from TTYD with the red replaced with Pink Gold, a crown on top and sharp gems on the sides.)
Kai giggled. "Well, I guess Pink Gold Peach is going to be useful after all." She said as Maria laughed.
"I needed that… considering that took longer than I thought it would. But then again, my blacksmithing skills always takes longer than I always think it will." Maria said. "I'm giving it to you as a celebration for getting rid of all the Fuzzies."
"Thanks!" Kai smiled as she got up and they both hugged.
"Now, question… why didn't we get Flare and Tristina to join us?"
"I called them both and Flare was busy with writing her own book and said that she was in the zone… and Tristina couldn't pull away from the Pokemon Center right then. She was busy taking care of an Azumarill with Isaac."
"Aww… I was hoping we'd see them." Maria sighed. "Oh well…"
"Yeah."
"You know, we should have a girl's night out with all of us like we used to."
"I miss those days…" Kai said. "Maybe when we're not so busy."
"Yeah." She nodded and then turned around. "Well, I'll see you later. I'm taking my husband out on a date."
"Okay. See ya!" Kai waved as Maria waved back and went out the door… and then just as soon as she put the cursor on Overwatch, there was another knock on the door.
"Hey Kai?" Toadette asked.
"Yeah?"
"Anastasia wants to talk to you."
"Well, let her in! Not like I'm doing anything right now!" Kai said. I guess Overwatch will have to wait. She thought and turned around as Anastasia walked in with a tablet. "Hey sweetie, what's up?"
"Um, have you heard of this new game called Magikarp Jump?" She asked.
"Magikarp… what?" She asked, wondering if she heard that right. A game starring Magikarp? Surely, they wouldn't be so stupid… right?
"Magikarp Jump. Wanna watch me play?"
"Sure… I guess." Kai said as she sat down on the couch as Anastasia hopped on her lap and showed her mother how to play the game. "Hmm, looks boring."
"Here! You play it!" She smiled sweetly as Kai gently took it and started to play it… aaaaand just within a second of feeding Magikarp, she was immediately hooked.
"Oh! Pikachu's ready to give you experience!"
"Aha! Leveled up!" Kai giggled. "Oh, this game is so cute!" She laughed as she kept playing while her daughter watched with a smile.
Meanwhile, back with Cirno…
"Ooogh… I knew I shouldn't have eaten that Rocky Road…" Cirno groaned as she laid on the ground with her back on the floor and her stomach inflated. "Can you roll me back to Gensokyo?"
"Um… I don't think I can…" Daiyousei sweatdropped as Wriggle went back to Gensokyo to get Daiyousei, and then the door opened to reveal Neo, who saw that her own ice cream restaurant was covered in ice cream and buckets were everywhere.
Neo's eye twitched and then looked at the ice fairy, glaring hard and reaching for her umbrella weapon.
"Urp… Tucker… did it…!" Cirno said, but Neo wasn't having it as she screamed and quickly took off with Daiyousei and Wriggle helping her, struggling to hold her up.
"Do they make cement ice cream or something?!" Daiyousei asked.
"No idea, but we gotta move!" Wriggle said, as the mute ice cream girl chased them around Toad Town well into the night.
Back with Kai…
"That was an enjoyable game, Anastasia!" Kai smiled. "Thank you for sharing it!"
"You're welcome, mommy!" Anastasia smiled as she soon grew tired and fell asleep into her lap as she giggled and picked her up, carrying her to her room and tucking her in, kissing her on the forehead.
"Sweet dreams, kiddo." She smiled and turning on Anastasia's nightlight before walking out, leaving the door cracked open just a little and walked back into the game room. "Alright, I'll play some Overwatch for an hour and then I'll go to bed." She said and then looked at her own tablet. "…Actually, Overwatch can wait." She said and then proceeded to install Magikarp Jump.
It was then that Vito walked in and saw Kai on the couch with her tablet on her chest as she was sleeping. "Heh, gamed hard…" He chuckled, picking up his queen bridal style and walking out, turning off the light and closing the door.
Magikarp Jump is surprisingly addictive, no?
