BGM: Peach's Castle (Super Mario 64)

"Uh-huh…" Luigi nodded while folding his arms. "Yep, that oughta explain it." He said. "I never really thought we'd actually fall for something like that."

"It did seem pretty convincing." Mario admitted.

"Even so, we need to find the others and take down Bowser." Pyrrha said. "Not to mention find all the Power Stars that we can possibly find."

"Right." Daisy nodded.

"It shouldn't be too difficult." Pit said as they all nodded and took off, but Pit stayed behind and looked at the RWBY door. "Just hang on for a bit longer." He said and walked out.


With Mario…

"Hmm?" Mario noticed a strange light in the middle of the room as he curiously walked toward it. "Hmm, curious…" He said as he looked down and then looked up, but the light nearly blinded him, causing him to close his eyes. And then he felt being drifted away somewhere.

Pause BGM

BGM: Powerful Mario (Super Mario 64/DS)

Mario opened his eyes and saw that he was… in mid-air? "What the?" He wondered as he looked down and then looked around, seeing his arms spread out… but the crazy thing was, he was actually flying. "Am I… flying?" He asked, as he had no idea that there were wings on his hat. But he didn't think about how he was flying, he grinned from ear to ear and began to fly around in this strange new place.

To him, it felt like a dream as he imagined beating the hell out of Bowser this way as he flew around and saw some red coins to collect. He flew off to grab them as he looked behind to see that there was no cape around his neck, causing him to raise an eyebrow, but he didn't care.

He was actually flying and he was having fun! This must have been how Pit feels whenever he flies!

He then grabbed the last red coin as they formed into a Power Star in his hands, and then down below, he noticed a button on a platform, so he flew down and then landed, curiously pressing it and not paying attention to a box that appeared in thin air. He proceeded to do a triple jump and still flew around, closing his eyes and cheering loudly, unaware that he flew into a portal.

End BGM

Resume BGM

Mario woke up as he looked around. "Was I day dreaming?" He wondered to himself as he blushed in embarrassment… and then he felt something in his pocket. He proceeded to pull it out, only to reveal the Power Star that he just got as his eyes widened in surprise. "It… wasn't a day dream?" He wondered before shrugging it off and walking off somewhere.


At Bob-omb Battlefield…

BGM: Bob-omb Battlefield (Super Mario 64/DS)

"You said that someone was locked behind the Chain Chomp?" Pyrrha asked.

"Yeah. According to Doc, there's someone by the name of Sarge." Pit said.

"Sarge?"

"I know, right? Who names their kid, Sarge?"

"No I mean I-"

"Yo!" A voice called out as they turned to see Sarge locked up in the cage. "Hey, Pyrrha! I could use a hand!"

"Oh my!" Pyrrha exclaimed.

"I don't know how I got in here, but I'll tear the enemy into shreds when I'm out!" Sarge growled. "I just need to find my shotgun though…" He said.

Pyrrha looked at the sleeping Chain Chomp as she aimed her hand at it and pushed it straight to the cage, but unfortunately, since it was staked to the ground, the Chain Chomp never even touched the cage… but this woke it up. It turned around and growled at the two. "Mmph! I'm sorry!" Pyrrha winced, but the Chain Chomp wouldn't hear any of it and barked, chasing them off.

"Well, it was worth a shot." Sarge muttered.

"We gotta find something that'll help him get out of there." Pit said.

"Split up?" Pyrrha suggested.

"Yeah." He nodded as the two went off in opposite directions, hoping to find a way to free Sarge but as Pyrrha was lost in her own thoughts, wondering if Jaune and her other teammates were okay, she noticed a red coin. She picked it up and put it away, then noticed another one out in the distance as she went to go get it.

As for Pit, he spotted a cannon as he grinned. "Oooh, I've always wanted to try this!" He said as he hopped in one, as the cannon aimed at the floating island and Pit was shot out. "WOOHOOO!" He yelled and then landed on his feet when he came in for a landing. "Yeah!" He fist pumped. "Alright, got that out of my system." He chuckled as he then spotted a red ? block just floating there as he pulled out his Palutena bow and shot it, destroying it as a Power Flower appeared before him.

"Oh, what's this?" He wondered as he bent down to look at it. "It's not much of a Fire Flower…" He said as he picked it up and absorbed it, and then the next thing he knew, his wings glowed and they spread out. "Huh?" He looked at them before getting an idea. "…Let's just hope it doesn't kill me." He said as he got into position, ran over and jumped off the cliff, closing his eyes and flapping his wings… and to his amazement, he didn't feel himself falling.

End BGM

"Huh?" He looked down and saw that he was suspended in mid-air as he looked to see that his wings were flapping on their own. "I'm… flying… on my own?" He asked as the realization hit him, and he grinned from ear to ear. "I'm flying… I'M ACTUALLY FLYING!" He cheered. "WAHOOO!"

BGM: Underworld (Super Smash Bros Brawl/Wii U)

Pit proceeded to fly around the battlefield, cheering and smiling. "This is awesome!" He grinned as he spread his arms out and continued to fly around, noticing some coin rings as he flew over to go through them.

"Oh, if only Ruby could see me now!" He said, as he went through the last ring and a Star appeared just in front of him as he went to grab it. "Man, It'd be great to fly with Ruby and not having to worry about the Power of Flight's time limit!" He grinned, picturing himself flying with Ruby as she was on her Star… and then he pictured Ruby in his arms as they were both flying.

"This is so awesome! Pit, I'm so glad you're able to fly on your own again!" Ruby's voice echoed in his mind.

"Yeah… oh, I can't wait to see the look on her face!" He said as he kept flying around. "WAHOO!" He yelled as he did a loop de loop… but as he did the return, his wings stopped glowing… and he was proceeded to free fall.

"Whoa… whoa! Pull up! PULL UP!" He yelled, but he wasn't pulling up as one thing crossed his mind. "Oh no… oh no no no no no!" He exclaimed as he saw right where he was headed… right at the Chain Chomp. "Oh crap! OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAP OH CRAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"

End BGM


With Pyrrha…

"Ah, there's the last one!" Pyrrha smiled, picking up the last red coin as the Power Star appeared in her hand, causing her to still smile. "Now… back to what I was doing. I wonder if Pit found a way to free Sarge." She wondered.

CRASH!

"What the?!" She looked to the source of the crash, seeing tons of dirt flying up in the air as she went over to investigate.


At the crash site…

"Holy shit!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Oooogh…" Pit groaned. "I knew it was too good to be true…" He groggily said, unaware that he actually broke the stake that held the Chain Chomp as it proceeded to bounce around happily before charging straight at the cage to break it before jumping over the rock.

"FREEDOOOOM!" Sarge cheered and then walked out, only to see his shotgun just resting outside of the prison. "Well, I'll be!" He said as he picked it up, cocked it and put it away. "Heheheh." He chuckled and walked over to Pit. "You alright there, soldier?" He asked.

"No… just bleeding internally and my pride shattering…" Pit groaned.

"I'll take that as a yes!" Sarge said as he picked up Pit. "Just walk it off!" He said as Pyrrha walked over.

"What happened?" Pyrrha asked.

"He fell out of the sky like a missile!" Sarge said.

"And it hurt…" Pit muttered.

"Oh, you got your shotgun back." Pyrrha said.

"I sure did!" Sarge chuckled. "Oh, and while I was trying to think of a way to get out, I found this." He said, pulling out a Power Star from his pocket. "Not sure why a star was locked up, but hey, it's a collectible." He said and then a portal opened up.

"Come on, let's go." Pyrrha said as she and Sarge helped Pit walk through the portal together.


With Coco…

Coco hopped out of Whomp's Fortress. "Red coins… never thought I'd be collecting them. Still, glad I got another one." She said, as the Power Star flew off and then she went into the main area where she saw Yatsuhashi and Fox talking. "So, did you guys get anything?"

"I raced a penguin in Cool Cool Mountain." Fox said.

"And while he did that, I collected red coins." Yatsuhashi said.

"Hmm, what's the deal with the red coins?" Coco wondered. "And where's Velvet?"

"She came back after collecting red coins in Jolly Roger Bay and she said that she was going to go get a bite to eat at the Shy Guy Buffet. We were actually waiting for you." Yatsuhashi said.

"Hmm, I could eat." She said as they walked off together.


At the buffet...

"Hmm... it all looks so good!" Velvet drooled at the sight of the food. "I can't choose!" She grinned as she looked around for a solid minute as a Toad walked by.

"I know how you feel... it all looks so tasty." He said.

Velvet pounded her fist into her palm. "I know just what to ea-"

Suddenly, her ear was pulled. "Ow!"

"Well well well, what do we have here? A pet separated from her family."

Velvet's eyes widened... she knew that voice anywhere. "C-Cardin?!"

"Oh look, you remember me. What a good little bunny!" He said, pulling her ears again.

"Ow!"

"You know, it kinda got real boring at Beacon, so I decided to pay the Mushroom Kingdom a visit… and what do I find? I see you walking into this buffet. Why would you eat all of that when you can eat this?" He asked, pulling out a carrot. "You know, it's just my luck that I stumbled upon this carrot in this place before I saw you. I've never seen a carrot with eyes before... and I wonder who would be the perfect candidate to eat it, and then I thought of you, bunny."

"Th-that's a stereoty-YOW!" Velvet cried out in pain as he tugged his ears, as a few pained tears fell.

"Aww, the wittle bunny is cwying. I'm sure this carrot will make it all better." Cardin smirked and grabbed her mouth. "Open wide, rabbit."

"N...No!"

Cardin chuckled darkly. "I wonder what'll happen if you eat this... let's find out shall we?" He asked, gripping her bunny ears as tight as he could, preventing her from letting go... and her team was nowhere to be seen as a few Toads tried to get him to stop, but unfortunately, he was much taller than them and kicked them away. "Open wide!"

It was at this moment... that something snapped within Velvet as she clenched her fist and then kneed him in the crotch, causing his eyes to widen and keeled over, and then kneed him in the gut, making him drop the carrot and let go of the ears. "Nnngh...! You're gonna pay... for that...!"

Velvet grabbed the carrot and grabbed Cardin by the collar. "Let's see how you like it." He said, forcing open his mouth and shoving the carrot inside his mouth, making him chew it up and swallow it... and then he grew bunny ears, causing her eyes to widen, as she let go of Cardin… and then started to have a giggle fit.

"Wh-what's so funny?! THAT'S NOT FUNNY!" Cardin yelled.

"Look at your head!" A laughing Toad exclaimed as he was handed a mirror as he saw bunny ears on his head, causing his eyes to widen.

"What...?! What...! I look... I look..."

"Cute?" Velvet giggled.

"No! I LOOK HIDEOUS! I'M A MONSTER JUST LIKE YOU!"

Velvet frowned. "Hmph..." She then proceeded to grab his bunny ears.

"OW! OW!"

"How do you like it, huh?!" She asked, pulling it as Cardin cried out in pain and then backed up in fear, slipping out of Velvet's grip.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Cardin yelled as he ran off and out of the buffet, screaming as he ran past CFY.

"...Was that...?" Yatsuhashi wondered.

"Was he wearing bunny ears?" Coco wondered as they heard cheering and they walked in, as they saw Velvet standing proudly with her arms folded.

"Hey guys!" Velvet smiled.

"...Why do I have this feeling you did that to him?" Coco asked as Velvet explained the situation as she chuckled. "Well, he won't be bothering anyone for a while." She said as the four of them proceeded to gather up food on their plates and began to chow down, laughing as they hoped to never see Cardin again for a long time.


With Nyx, Xena and Iris…

BGM: Haunted Mansion (Super Mario 64/DS)

"Damn… that's rough." Nyx said as they had decided to go back into Big Boo's Haunt. "To think you had to go through something so horrible."

"I know." Xena sighed. "At least you didn't lose your parents."

"Yeah, but I lost my home to those douchebags." Nyx said as they walked into the mansion. "If I ever find them, I'm gonna tear several new ones into them."

"I would've already killed them if something like that happened to my family." Iris said as they walked around.

"That reminds me, what are your parents like?" Nyx asked.

"They're pretty cool for parents; the people of my home look up to my dad, even if he can be a dork." Iris said.

"They look up to a dork?" Xena giggled.

"He's not a dork all the time." Iris defended. "In fact, he's the head of protecting the village from any Grimm attacks."

"Okay, that's impressive." Nyx complemented.

"Thanks. So why are we here, exactly?" Iris asked.

"Because as I was trying to convince the Boos to get me out of here, I heard something… out of the ordinary." Nyx explained as they walked into a room. "Listen." She said as they closed their eyes, hearing something faint.

"It sounds like… happy go lucky music?" Xena asked.

"Normally, I wouldn't mind it, but considering it's in the mansion, it's suspicious."

"So, do you think we should go down there?"

"I don't even know what's down there." Nyx said. "Suppose if we went down there… only to never come back up. That's what's making me hesitate."

"…Good point." Xena folded her arms. "Yet the music makes me wanna investigate."

"Yeah." Nyx nodded. "Hey Iris, what do you think we should-" They turned to her, only to see a white blinking outline of her. "-do…"

SPLASH!

"Huh?" Xena looked down.

"Would you guys hurry up?!" Iris' voice called out as the other two looked at each other and shrugged before they hopped down, only to land in a pool of water as they swam up the surface.

"Wh-what…?" Nyx spat out some water in surprise as Iris' hand reached out for them, as she had climbed out.

"Need a hand?" Iris chuckled as she pulled the two out.

"You just recklessly jumped down into the abyss?" Nyx asked.

"My semblance helped." Iris said.

"Okaaay…?" She asked as Xena whispered in her ear. "Ooooh."

"Come on, let's go. We're close." Iris said as they walked into a door… only to see a Merry-go Round surrounded by Boo paintings… as one of them was shooting out fire.

End BGM

BGM: Merry-Go-Round (Super Mario 64/DS)

"…This seems very… uncharacteristic of a haunted mansion." Iris said.

"Let's not forget the music." Nyx said.

"I dunno, the fire seems like a nice touch." Xena said.

"Yeah, but it seems so out of place." Nyx said as they stepped on it and as they spun around on it, they ducked underneath the fire… and then they heard some cackling as they turned to see some Boos.

"We got company!" Iris said as they got ready to fight them, proceeding to take care of them easily while Nyx violently kicked one into the flames to destroy it and then a bigger Boo came out to try and attack them, but they proceeded to gang up on it before all three of them sent it to the one portrait where it spat fire out and destroying the Big Boo, where a Power Star appeared before them.

"Nice!" Nyx grinned as they took it.

"…Alright, let's get the hell out of here before this song annoys the hell out of me!" Iris exclaimed in frustration.

"Actually, allow me." Xena smirked, as her katana went into its paintball gun form as they took a step back as she proceeded to destroy the Merry-Go-Round mercilessly.

End BGM

"Well, that's one way to do it." Nyx sweatdropped as Xena's paintball gun went back into the katana as she then sheathed it.

"Alright, let's go!" She smiled.


With Yoshi and Pikachu…

"Oh, thank goodness someone came to listen to my woes!" The Toad smiled.

"Yo?"

"Okay, so here in the Rec Room, Peach tends to come in here on occasion and play some games, but unfortunately, I lost the keys, and to make matters worse, I saw some rabbits playing around with them… and some of them were shiny for crying out loud! So can you please help me out and get them back?"

"Pika!" Pikachu nodded.

"Thank you!" Toad smiled as the two looked at each other, nodded and then took off running.


With Luigi and Daisy…

"What in the world is that?" Daisy asked as they were in the basement and looking at some portal on the floor.

"It looks… weird." Luigi said as he knelt down to look at it, unaware of a Charging Chuck opening the door.

"Oh…!" He exclaimed and then looked at Luigi, causing him to smirk and then he got into position and then jumped over the railing and rammed into him.

"WAAAAAH!" Luigi yelled as he was shoved into the pit.

"Luigi!" Daisy yelled and then turned to the Charging Chuck. "Why you!" She growled as his eyes widened in horror before Daisy beat the living crap out of him before she dove right into the portal leading to Hazy Maze Cave… and then Doc walked in.

"Hmm? I thought I heard a ruckus going on in here." He said as he went to investigate the portal before shrugging it off.

"I wouldn't go in there!" A Toad said. "There's no telling what'll happen if you go in there." He said before sighing. "Man, I was just about to give them this too." He said, pulling out a Power Star.

"Why didn't you give them that before?"

"I was taking a nap." He admitted before giving Doc the star before Doc looked in.

"Who went in there?"

"Luigi and Daisy."

"…Eh, I'm sure they're fine." He said as he walked off.


In Hazy Maze Cave…

BGM: Cave Dungeon (Super Mario 64/DS)

"OOOF!" Luigi faceplanted and as he got up, he saw a Scuttlebug right in front of him as it was looking right at him. "EEEEEK!" He screamed and backed up really fast to a wall as it approached him… but then Daisy landed right on top of it to squish it.

"…Ew, what'd I step on?" She asked as she looked down. "Eugh!" She exclaimed and then hopped off before turning to Luigi. "I never knew you were afraid of spiders."

"You'd be too if it was right in front of your face…" He muttered as he got up.

"Fair point." Daisy chuckled as they walked around the cave, taking care of the Scuttlebugs in their way and then jumped over a gap before they slid down a pole, hopped off as they did some exploring before heading somewhere else. As they did, they came across a room filled with Swoopers, several rolling rocks that lead to a bottomless pit.

"…I say we go the other way around." Luigi said but Daisy grabbed his arm.

"Come on, Luigi, where's your sense of adventure?" Daisy asked with a wink.

"…I was afraid you'd say that." Luigi sighed, causing Daisy to giggle as they walked together while avoiding the rolling rocks before they got close to another area where they saw an elevator as they walked on top of it and then it went down.

As they went down, they noticed it went by slowly… but they didn't seem to mind, as they proceeded to look around while also looking at each other before they looked away, both of them blushing but they both smiled too.

How long has it been since we've been on a date? Luigi wondered. …Wait, have we ever been on a date? I don't think we have… man, this is embarrassing, we've been hanging out for a long time and yet, I never had the courage to ask her out on a date! Sure, Mario and Peach has been on plenty of dates, but as for me, I haven't had the courage to ask Daisy out… she's out of my league for crying out loud! She's a princess and I'm just a plumber! He thought. Come on… ask her out!

While Luigi was in his own world, Daisy seemed to be having the same thoughts as Luigi. Sure, we're good friends… but, I wonder if we can be more than that? Ever since we've met, I've fallen in love with him… but I… don't know how to say it. Why can't I just… have the courage to say anything? Is it because I'm out of his league, that I'm a princess and he's a plumber? For crying out loud, your best friend is dating Mario! Agh, dammit, just ask him out or something!

She sighed. I don't get it, I'm a fearless princess… and yet, I'm hesitating on asking him out… am I just afraid that he just wants to be friends?

Does she want to remain friends? Agh…! Luigi growled.

No… don't be like that, Daisy. That whole 'friendzone' is nothing more than a myth! Just ask him out, dammit!

Is that whole 'friendzone' thing real? What if she laughs at me? Luigi wondered.

Argh… tell him! TELL HIM! Daisy scolded herself and then looked at him. Alright… I'll tell him. She took a deep breath. Here goes. "Luigi…"

"Yes?" He turned to her.

"I… I'm wondering about something. Is there… any girl out there that you like?" She asked… and then cringed with her own question. …WHAT KIND OF DUMBASS QUESTION WAS THAT?! He obviously likes me! She scolded herself.

"Y-yeah… I like you." Luigi said. Stay cool, stay cool!

Daisy smiled. "That's good… so um… Luigi… I… have a question."

"Really? I have a question for you too."

"Oh? Then ask away!"

"No no no, ladies first!"

"Plumbers first. I can wait." Daisy winked at him.

"Alright." Luigi took a deep breath. "D-Daisy… I was… w-wonder-…" He stopped himself. "…Agh, never mind… it was a stupid question anyway."

Daisy frowned. "…My question was kinda stupid too." She said as the elevator finally came to a stop as they walked off, both of them scolding themselves for abruptly stopping their questions.

Dumbass! Ask him! You already call him 'sweetie' and 'sweetheart' in affection! Spit it out!

I guess we'll only be good friends… Luigi sighed as they saw a huge rock in a small island amidst a huge body of water.

"Huh, that's weird." Daisy said as they saw something approaching them to give them a lift, a blue plesiosaur that would surprise others who were unfamiliar with it. It was none other than Dorrie himself. "Hey, that's a Dorrie!"

"Sweet!" Luigi said as they hopped on Dorrie's back and then he went over to the little island and then stopped. They got off where they both looked at the rock as they walked around it before Daisy gave it a good kick to make it roll into the water where it crashed into the bottom, shattering it and saw a Power Star floating up. Daisy dove in and took it.

"Alright!" Daisy grinned as she swam back to Luigi and once she did, they both high fived before a portal opened up as they hopped on in.


With Penny…

BGM: Lethal Lava Land (Super Mario 64/DS)

"Hmm… a normal wall sent me to a sandy area?" Penny wondered as she walked around in Shifting Sand Land. "I wonder if this is Vacuo?" She wondered to herself as she walked around as a few Pokeys looked at her before going about their business. She worked her away forward where the Tox Boxes were located but luckily, when the Tox Boxes went over Penny, she was saved when the empty hole over the Tox Box went over her.

"Oh my… were they trying to squish me?" Penny asked as she finally made it to the other side… and noticed Klepto the Condor holding a Power Star as he was flying around. "Hmm…" She mused as she pulled out her blades and proceeded to send them toward Klepto, as one of them smacked into him, making him drop the Power Star. "Thank you!" She giggled as she took it after her blades came back and then she ran into a portal before Klepto could regain his senses.

End BGM


And finally, with Sarge…

BGM: Fort Fire Bros (Super Mario 3D World)

"A painting that takes me into a volcanic area? My my, the Mushroom Kingdom just gets better and better!" He chuckled as he walked through the area and avoiding stepping on the lava and as he kept walking, a Bully smacked into him. "Ooof! Watch it!" He ordered, but the Bully did not listen to him and smacked into him again, causing him to growl. "I said, watch it!" He growled, but the Bully hit him again for a third time. "Insubordination!" He growled, shooting the Bully, as the bullets pushed it back far enough for him to go straight into the lava. "Hmph, good riddance." He said.

As he proceeded to walk around, he shot Mr. I in the… uh… eye to really damage it and then he kept walking, grumbling to himself as he went through the Bowser puzzle and then shot some more Bullies in the lava and kept going until he saw the Big Bully himself as it ran toward him but Sarge, still a bit pissed off, shot the Bully in the face to knock it toward the lava, and then shot him again to add insult to injury, and to his surprise, a Power Star shot out of the lava and landed near him.

"Ha! Got it!" He grinned as a portal opened before him. "Coming through!" He said as he went right in.

End BGM


Meanwhile…

"Let's see… what to do…" Dry Bowser rubbed his bony chin in thought, pondering on what to do with his plan that he revealed to Ghirahim.

Deep in thought, he heard a growl behind him. "…And you are?" He asked as he turned around to see someone appearing before him.

The Meta.

Dry Bowser glared at him. "Trying to do an imitation contest? Cause I can growl better than you."

Meta growled again, folding his arms.

"Hmph, beat it. I got a world to conquer." He said as he turned around and walked away from Meta, when all of a sudden, a scythe appeared and touching his neck.

"I wouldn't." A voice said.

Dry Bowser stood there in surprise. Was there more of them?

"Threatening me, huh… you've got guts." Dry Bowser admitted.

"Like I should care."

"…You know, your voice sounds awfully familiar… like a couple of teenagers that bested me in battle." He said as the scythe was removed from his neck as he turned to see them… and it was Dark RWB. "…But they didn't look so emo and… last I checked, there was a blonde."

"Don't remind us of that bimbo!" Dark Ruby growled. "In fact, you can shut the fuck up about them!"

Dry Bowser looked at them. "So, tell me, are you twins… or are you clones?"

"Clones." Dark Weiss said.

"I see." Dry Bowser nodded. "And another thing, who's Sir Growls-a-lot?"

"Meta." Dark Blake said.

"Uh-huh… so tell me, why is it that you came to me?"

"We've heard how powerful you once were, so we came looking for you." Dark Ruby said.

"What, to do me in?"

"No, to work with you."

Dry Bowser raised a non-existent eyebrow. "Okay…"

"You said you were bested by teenagers that looked like us." Dark Weiss said. "Is that true?"

"I wasn't at my full strength. I had just got revived." He admitted. "Something tells me you have a beef with RWBY."

"We do." Dark Ruby said. "I'm going to take back what I lost… and avenge Dark Yang!" She said. "Those fucking bimbos won't know what hit them, ESPECIALLY that bitch Ruby! She took my eyes away… I'll take her LIFE."

"Do you know where they are?" Dark Blake asked.

"Hmm… I did hear some commotion going on in the Mushroom Kingdom. I do not know what it is, but I am staying away from the time being. I will need to be at my full strength before I pay the Mushroom Kingdom another visit."

"Where is it?" Dark Ruby asked.

"It's a few miles from here. That way." He pointed.

"Thank you." Dark Ruby said. "Come on, let's go." She said as they walked away from Dry Bowser.

"…Work with me?" Dry Bowser asked. "…Hmm… what are they actually capable of?" He wondered as he summoned a few Dry Bones. "Go watch over them and report back to me." He ordered as the Dry Bones saluted and they took off. "And stay undetected!" He added.

He then chuckled. "Interesting… very interesting…" He said. "They could be quite useful for my plan." He smirked.


They're baaaaaaack...
