BGM: Dark Hallways (Luigi's Mansion)
"I wonder why this Rowlet decided to land on my shoulder." Luigi wondered as they wandered back in.
"You probably had the most convenient shoulder to land on." Noire said.
"I doubt it." Luigi said as they wandered to the front doors as the vines disappeared once Jade got close.
"Neat." She grinned as they walked into the dark hallways.
"You're probably just a Pokemon magnet." Nora said. "Which would explain why you have a Shuppet and a Rowlet with you."
"Yet, this adorable little thing is stuck with me." Jade said as Pikaboo seemed to smile at her.
"I wonder if you're going to name this Rowlet?" Mae wondered as they wandered around the dark hallways and Boey got jumped on by a harmless Ceiling Surprise.
"Yipe!" He yelped while the Ceiling Surprise laughed and clapped before disappearing.
"I dunno… I'm not too great with names." Luigi said as they made a left as they were picking up strange readings from a room.
"There are subspecies of owls that are native certain areas." Ren brought up. "I believe one of them are called Pueo."
"Pu… huh?" Jaune asked.
"You would know that if you studied, Jaune." Pyrrha lightly scolded, which had Jaune scratch his head in embarrassment.
"I suppose we can name the Rowlet that." Ren said.
The Rowlet, who was still sleeping, smiled at the sound of being called Pueo… only it thought that Luigi called him that and tilted its head on Luigi's cheek. "Aww! It likes it!" Mae gushed.
Luigi chuckled. "I suppose. It's a step up from a ghost, at least." He said as they walked right into a bathroom where two pink ghosts popped in.
"Wah! What are these?!" Jaune asked.
"Grabbing Ghosts!" Jade exclaimed as one of them grabbed Celica, but she quickly freed herself, causing the Grabbing Ghost to say something unintelligible in disappointment… and then got sucked in by Celica's Poltergust.
"Wouldn't be the first time I got grabbed by some creep…" She quietly said while Noire sucked up the other.
"Next time you grab me, I'll break your arms!" She said in a sadistic and angry tone.
Yep, she's the daughter of Tharja, alright… Luigi thought with a sweatdrop.
Jade looked at her Game Boy Horror to search for any more ghosts close by. "Hmm… there appears to be more ghosts in the Ballroom." She said, and that's where they went too next. Luigi opened up the door to the Ballroom and they walked in to an interesting sight.
BGM: Dancing Shy Guy Ghosts (Luigi's Mansion)
"What in the world…?" Morgan wondered as they saw some ghostly Shy Guys dancing around contently.
"That's… wow." Boey was at a loss for words.
"Aww, they look so cute!" Genny squealed and decided to poke one of the Shy Guys and asked for a dance, to which it kindly obliged to dance with Genny.
"I… I don't know what's going on…" Luigi said, scratching the top of his head as they all stared in bewilderment… before Jade snapped out of it.
"Forgive me." Jade said as she proceeded to suck in all the masks of the Shy Guys, revealing their ghostly faces… and Luigi's face flushed as he remembered seeing what a maskless Shy Guy looked like before Jade sucked in all the ghostly Shy Guys.
End BGM
"Aww… I was having fun…" Genny pouted.
"To be honest, I felt bad but… someone had to do it." Jade awkwardly rubbed her arm. "Also, Luigi, what's with that look?"
"Very bad memories of tennis, let's just go with that." Luigi shuddered as they started to walk… and then the floors started to move. "Whoa!"
"Huh, this is new." Celica said, and then two ghosts appeared before them. One was a man with orange hair and a red suit, and another was a woman with green hair and a green dress..
BGM: Floating Whirlindas (Luigi's Mansion)
"Darling!" The man said, as the two began to waltz across the floor… well, if you can count floating as waltzing.
"Who are these guys?" Morgan wondered.
"The Floating Whirlindas, the Dancing Couple." Jade said. "They were once the local waltz champions, but they can no longer compete since their legs can't touch the ground."
"That doesn't stop us from dancing!" Mrs. Whirlinda said, as her husband twirled her, unaware by all that a portal that looked like a ring popped up on the other side of the room and some purple bird came out of it, with the ring closing behind it.
The bird in question has the tips of its wings broaden into a fan shape, and it has a fan-shaped crest on top of its head. At the base of its crest are four feathers with light blue tips. There are two of these feathers on each side, resembling ornamental hairsticks. On the side of each eye are small, light blue markings that resemble eyelashes. The edges of its wings, fans, head crest, and long tail all have a double border of pale purple with a light blue on the outer edge.
This was none other than a Sensu Style Oricorio.
"Shup?" Affectio turned to the Oricorio that was dancing gracefully as it also attracted Pikaboo and Pueo as they went toward the Pokemon in curiosity.
"Huh? Was that Pokemon there before?" Jade wondered as she curiously walked over to it along with Boey and Jaune. "I see, it's a Sensu Style Oricorio. A Ghost/Flying type!"
"It's a ghost? Funny… it doesn't look scary." Boey said as the Oricorio gracefully danced.
"Darling!" Mr. Whirlinda said as they bowed… and revealing their heart to which Celica and Morgan proceeded to suck them both up as they tried to escape… but they were no match for the Poltergusts as they were sucked in, then the lights came on.
End BGM
"Aww, you separated them." Genny pouted.
"I didn't know Morgan was helping me." Celica admitted while Morgan shrugged as they walked over to the chest while Affectio and Pueo went back to Luigi, as the Oricorio watched them head back.
"Ori…" Oricorio mused and walked over to Luigi, examining him carefully before nodding in approval, and proceeded to stick by his side as they walked.
"You might be on to something about being a Pokemon magnet." Luigi said.
"Strangely, this one's a Ghost type." Boey said. "Weird, I'm not picking up any ghostly attributes to this one."
"Ori…"
"Oh well." Luigi shrugged as they went into the Storage Room where some Purple Punchers and a few Grabbing Ghosts awaited them… and a Speedy Spirit hiding in the chair that Celica examined and was sucked in.
A Red Grabbing Ghost attempted to sneak behind Luigi with a smirk, but Pueo spotted this and proceeded to use Leafage on him to pin him to a wall where it was safely sucked up by Jade. "I think you got yourself a body guard." She said.
"You think so?" Luigi chuckled as the lights came on.
"Hey, what does this button do?" Nora wondered, and then pressed it, where they then saw the wall moving back in a creepy way. "Cool!"
"So instead of the walls closing in, the walls… retreat." Morgan said. "How boring."
"Oh come now, we'd be living pancakes if it closed in on us." Celica said.
"True." She nodded as Nora removed a poster and saw another button.
"Ooooh!" She grinned and tapped the button… where a trap door opened up.
"Nora, what'd you do?" Ren asked.
"Hey, not my fault people leave buttons lying around waiting to be pushed!" Nora defended.
"Hello…?" Luigi called down to the trap door… and then several Boos popped out, as he, Jaune and Boey screamed while everyone else was wondering what was going on.
BGM: Night of Fate (Kingdom Hearts)
"What the heck is going on?!" Jaune yelled.
"AHAHAHAHAHA!" A voice cackled as King Boo came out of the group of Boos that were coming out. "Well well well, Luigi finally made it along with his friends!" He said and then spotted Jade. "Oh ho! I see that you decided to show yourself again!"
"King Boo…" Jade growled in anger. "After what you've done to my parents… I'm going to make you pay… and then I'll get them back!"
"HAHAHAHAHA! Wow! You really think it'll be so easy to get your parents back?"
"I saw you! You had them petrified when I came to that haunted house… and now after all these years, I'll save them from the likes of you!"
"Save them? You think you're going to save them? Hahahaha… cute. You really think you can save their lives?"
"I was a little girl back then… when I found out that my parents hadn't come back from a ghost busting mission, I knew where to find them because there was only one haunted house in my town… and then I met you, who petrified my parents!"
"You honestly think that your parents are alive?" King Boo asked. "Wow, you are really naïve! HAHAHAHA!"
"That's enough out of you!" Celica said, aiming her Poltergust at him as his eyes widened.
"The Poltergust?!" He exclaimed in shock before chuckling. "I see… well, good luck trying to get to me and my minions! AHAHAHAHA!" He said and disappeared.
End BGM
"…What did he mean by that…" Jade whispered. "Are my parents…"
Celica put her hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry about it. He's just trying to get to you." She told her.
"Yeah, you're right. My parents are still alive. I just know it." She said, her smile coming back.
Something's not right… Morgan thought… and then their Game Boy Horrors went off as Pyrrha was the one to answer it first.
"Can you hear me? Oh, good, you can!" E. Gadd said. "That was King Boo and his minions! They were hiding in that room the whole time, eh?"
"Yeah, and Nora released them all." Boey said, as some of them glared at Nora who whistled casually.
"Ah well… water under the bridge! No one expected them to come out of that trap door, though you could've captured a few of them. Oh well! Do you want to come back to the lab so we can discuss this further?"
"I think we're fine if we stayed here." Jade replied.
"Oh, well in that case, suit yourself! Anyway, that King Boo fella most likely did something to Mario and RWBY, but I'm sure they'll be fine. Not like he'll eat them… which Boos don't actually eat anyone. Anyway, make sure to find the Boos! The lesser the number, the better! And mind Booniper!" He added and then hung up.
"Hmm…" Jade thought to herself. "Why don't you guys go back to the other rooms we were in previously? There might be some Boos there. I'll stay here."
"You sure?" Celica asked with a hint of concern.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Jade nodded with a thumbs up as they all walked out, though Jade had noted that Celica looked a bit concerned but she shrugged it off. She'll ask her later.
BGM: Sticky Situation (Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon)
Jade looked at her Game Boy Horror and saw a yellow flashing light and she knew… that a Boo was in the exact same room as her. She and Pikaboo examined the room for anything suspicious… and then she moved a box to the side… and then a Boo came flying out.
"Just call me GameBoo!" The Boo gleefully said as the two looked at each other as she proceeded to suck in the Boo as it attempted to fight back before it was sucked in.
"Kyu!" Pikaboo cried with joy.
"That's one out of… fifty?!" She asked in surprise as she looked at a Boo Counter that appeared on her screen. "Alright, good to know."
Ballroom…
"Hmm…" Mae mused as she was looking at a painting in the ballroom and then gently pulled it off the wall… and out came a Boo.
"Allo! I am Boo La La!"
"Not anymore, you're not!" Mae said, sucking him right in. He tried to fight back, but like with Jade, he was no match and was sucked in, then she put the painting back and looked at the Boo Counter on her Game Boy Horror. "Two?" She wondered… and then Jade and Pikaboo came out. "Oh, so you found a Boo in there?"
"Yup." She nodded.
Parlor…
"Hellooooo?" Morgan called out, opening up a china cabinet but found nothing. "Hmm…"
Noire noticed a bulge on the coffee table as she smirked. That's a horrible hiding place. She thought and then proceeded to suck the table cloth off… only to reveal a Boo Ball. "Huh?" She wondered as she heard a Boo cackling.
Morgan knelt down and opened up the bookcase, and then a Boo came out and nearly hit her in the process. "Whoa!"
"I am BamBoo, if you please!"
"I don't get it." Morgan said.
"You simple human creatures don't get anything at all. It's amazing that you haven't gone extinct." BamBoo said… and then was hit by a thrown Boo Ball thanks to Noire to daze him… and then she sucked him right in.
"That'll teach you." Noire said with a scowl while Morgan whistled.
"That's my sister!" She smiled as Noire blushed a little.
Anteroom…
"Are you in here, by chance?" Pyrrha wondered, examining a table… and out came another Boo.
"Looking for me? Bootha!"
"Uh…" Pyrrha tilted her head before sucking in the Boo… and then it attempted to flee… only to smack right into another Boo.
"Ow!" The Boo rubbed his head. "Oh, hi Game Boo Advance."
"Bootha? What are you doing out of your hiding place?"
"I'd ask you the same thing!"
The door opened up to reveal Nora as she proceeded to suck GameBoo Advance in as Pyrrha did the same with Bootha while they were distracted.
"And that's that!" Nora chuckled as Ren had calmly walked out of the room with Booniper.
Study…
"Hmm… are you in here?" Boey wondered… and out came a Boo Bomb. "AAAAAH!" He yelled, quickly diving for cover as it exploded.
"Boey! Don't ruin the books!" Genny scolded.
"It wasn't MY fault!" Boey protested and then Genny examined the chair, to which the Boo came out.
"Speak not my name: TaBoo!"
"…Uh… TaBoo…?" Genny tilted her head.
"What did I just say?!" The Boo glared at her… while Boey quickly sucked him in while closing his eyes.
"…Did I do it?" He asked.
"You did!" Genny smiled.
"Oh… good." He sighed with relief.
Master Bedroom…
Celica looked around the room, examining every inch of the room but there were no signs of a Boo in sight… and then she had the idea to look under the bed, to which a Boo came crawling out.
"I am the yummy Boolicious!"
"…Funny, you don't look delicious." Celica quietly said before sucking him up who had put up a fight, but to no avail.
And finally, the nursery…
Luigi opened up the dresser, but a Boo Ball popped out instead. "Aww…" He sighed as Oricorio and Pueo checked the chairs but didn't find anything… but Affectio went over to the crib and curiously examined it… and out popped the Boo.
"I am TurBoo, and off I go!" He said, and attempted to flee, but Oricorio used Air Cutter to knock him senseless to the ground where Luigi sucked it right in.
"There we go!" He said and then looked at the Game Boy Horror. "Eight out of fifty, huh?" He said with a chuckle. "Nice."
Resume Dark Hallways BGM
"Hey, open up!" Nora said, trying to open up a door… but to no avail, the door wouldn't budge and to top it all off, she heard crying. "Alright, I'm breaking in!" She said, bringing out her hammer.
"Nora, I don't think that's a good-"
SMASH!
"-Idea…" Ren said, mentally facepalming as they saw Purple Toad crying to himself.
"…Oh thank goodness, it's you guys but… I dropped something in that toilet!" He sobbed.
"Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's nothing important." Jade said.
"You're right… I'm just crying over spilt milk! There's no use crying over it! I'll just flush my worries away and… do you know here my team is?"
"In the foyer." Pyrrha said as Purple Toad quickly ran out, dodging the ghosts until he reunited with his friends while Luigi opened the lid up.
"Oh, so this is what he was worried about." Luigi said, pulling out a key… and then saw from the Horror where the key was supposed to go, so they went ahead while avoiding a few Ceiling Surprises and mice, and then they went into another room.
"Where are we?" Mae wondered.
"I dunno… but that crystal ball looks inviting!" Morgan said, seeming to be interested in it.
"Eh, it's probably nothing." Luigi said as they wandered into the next room… where they were locked inside of the Mirror Room. "Wah!"
And adding insult to injury, several invisible Grabbing Ghosts came in, and even though they could see them in the mirror, they couldn't see them out of the mirror as they felt being grabbed by the sinister spirits.
However, Oricorio was not having any of it as it proceeded to use Air Cutter on them all, knocking them all senseless and then Celica and her friends proceeded to suck them all in… though Boey was being more of a scaredy cat.
"Thanks for that!" Mae said as the Oricorio nodded. "Hmm… have you given this one a name yet?"
"No, not really." Luigi replied.
"Hmm… this might sound random, but I do have an idea. How about… Kagura?"
Oricorio rubbed its chin in thought, and then nodded its head in approval, seeming to like the name.
"Kagura it is!" Mae smiled.
"We got bigger problems! How are we going to get out of here?!" Boey panicked… right when Noire checked a drawer… and a Boo popped out.
"Fear the wrath of Kung Boo!"
"…Yang could've come up with something better." Nora said.
"Excuse me?! I'll have your head for that!" He exclaimed and proceeded to karate chop Nora… though with his stubby little hands, he didn't get very far. "…Hey, can you put your head a little closer? I can't… I can't quite reach it!" He said… and then was met by the Poltergust. "…I was afraid of that." He groaned as he was sucked in.
"Well great… but that doesn't solve the problem here!" Boey said.
"This probably will though." Celica said, opening up a treasure chest… and a bunch of red medallions came flying out and landed in their hands. "…Or not."
Then their Horrors went off as Celica responded to it.
BGM: Game Boy Horror (Luigi's Mansion)
"Hey, what'ya got there? …Oh, well I'll be, it's a Fire Element Medallion!"
"What's that?" Mae asked.
"Simple! With you holding it, it calls the attention of Fire Elemental ghosts! They're relatively harmless, but sucking them up will let you use their element! They'll actually be surprised when you disturb their resting place in fire. Go nuts with it! Oh, and you can simply refill it back up by sucking in another ghost. Have fun!"
He hung up on them.
End BGM
"Fire element, huh? Interesting." Luigi mused.
"That does seem like an awesome idea. We can burn ghosts alive!" Morgan said with a sadistic grin, unaware of a Fire Elemental ghost coming out of a torch and spotting them as it curiously floated over to them, as Jaune spotted it.
"Oh! Well, isn't that cute." He said as it floated over to him, curiously looking at him. "Hey little guy…" He said, reaching over to touch him… and when he did. "Ow!" He yelped, pulling away his burnt hand.
"It's made out of fire. Of course it'll hurt." Morgan said as Luigi sucked it in and then aimed at the candleabras and set them on fire, which unlocked the door for them.
"Wait a minute, why would we need fire elements when we got fire magic?" Mae asked as a small fireball came out of her hand.
"Convenience, maybe?" Celica shrugged as they walked back into the room and then they did the same for the candleabras for a key to appear on one of the pedestals as Pueo flew up to retrieve it.
"Hmm… how resourceful." A voice said.
"Who said that?!" Pyrrha jumped as they looked around, with one of them shining the flashlight on the crystal ball, and then a gypsy-looking ghost appeared before them.
BGM: Talking with Ghosts (Luigi's Mansion)
"Madame Clairvoya." Jade greeted.
"Ah, the granddaughter of the professor. Nice to meet you again."
Jade turned to the others who were dying to know about her. "Her name's Madame Clairvoya, the freaky fortune teller. Her close connection to the spirit world lets her see nearly 49 days into the future."
"49 days?! That's amazing!" Morgan exclaimed.
"Hmm… it sure is." Clairvoya said.
"So, do you have any fortunes for us?" Celica curiously asked.
"I usually do fortunes for items that are brought to me."
"Any item or specific ones?" Genny wondered.
"Specific ones, preferably." She replied. "However… my crystal ball is telling me something. Be aware of your shadows, for their may be a surprise waiting for you. Huh… fascinating…"
Unaware of by all, another ring popped up from above, as a Misdreavus came out of it as it looked down at them all while the ring disappeared. "Misdrea…?" It wondered.
"Oh, and now it's telling me another one." Clairvoya said and then her eyes widened. "…Jade, was it?"
"Yeah?"
"You are aware of your parents' fates, correct?"
"They're petrified by King Boo… but I know that deep down that they are alive."
Hmm… she doesn't know the hard truth. Clairvoya thought. "Well, if you believe that they are alive… then good for you. They might be alive in your heart, however."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I've said too much. Take it with a grain of salt, if you must."
"I see. Come on, guys… let's go." Jade said as they walked out, unaware of the Misdreavus following them.
"Hold on a moment. You are Celica, correct?"
"Yeah, that's me… why?"
"This crystal ball has told me that you, along with the professor, know the harsh truth about the girl's parents."
"Yeah, you're right. I don't want to tell her though."
"Neither do I. However, the Crystal Ball is saying that we must tell her the truth eventually… otherwise, someone evil like King Boo will cause her to despair."
"Her grandfather doesn't want her to know…"
"The truth always comes out eventually. Just remember, destiny chooses our paths… and I am afraid that she will go down a dark path if the wrong person tells her. Someone has to tell her before it is too late."
"Understood." Celica nodded. "I have to ask though… are you affiliated with King Boo?"
"Hmph. As if I would be affiliated by that evil spirit."
"Good to know… thanks." Celica said and then walked out of the door.
Clairvoya closed her eyes. "Jade… I hope that you will not go down a dark path." She quietly said before disappearing.
Happy Easter everyone!
