Me: Hey, guys. Here's the seventh chapter to Paper Mario and Sonic. This is where Mario and friends go to Flopside, the opposite of Flipside.

Mario: And we set the next Pure Heart there.

Sonic: The next part will show where Mario is going next.

Me: And it will be in the land of the Cragnons and the team meets King Croacus. Anyway, here's the chapter. Enjoy.


Mario and friends went back to Flipside proud that they got the Pure Heart. Tippy was so cheerful.
"Now we've gotten five Pure Hearts..." Tippy said. "This is turning into quite a collection."
"What did I tell ya?" Bowser asked.
"You got the king of all evil and evil scientist on your side," Eggman said. "You can't go wrong!"
"Yes, yes," Tippy said and giggled. "That said we owe Squirps helping us find this one. We should be grateful."
"Say, Tippy, something seems different about you recently," Peach said.
"You seem a bit more cheerful," Elise said. "It's a nice change."
"You think so?" Tippy asked. "Well, ever since you saved me from Fort Francis I've been feeling really good. I feel like I could just hang around with Mario forever." Then Merlon came asked if the team got the Pure Heart. Tippy said they did but she was cut off when she passed out. Everyone was worried about Tippy. So they took her to Merlon's house. Merlon checked Tippy to see what was wrong.
"Very well, let's take a breath and gather ourselves here...I'm concerned," Merlon said. "Tippy may be unable to maintain her pixl form for much longer."
"Her pixl form? What the heck does that mean?" Eggman asked.
"Well, you see, Tippy was not always a pixl," Merlon said. "I found her in her true form, exhausted, cursed to wander through dimensions forever. She was hanging through a thread, barely alive...so I took a desperate measure. Using my ancestors' magic, I transformed her soul into a pixl...and this Tippy was born.
"I can hardly believe it," Elise said. "So where is Tippy from originally, then?"
"She had lost her memory, so I have no idea who she is or where she is from," Merlon said. "But I can't help thinking she did not come here by chance. Fate connects us. And my intuition in this area is rarely mistaken." Then there was a quake! The void has gotten bigger. So Mario and the team went to place the Pure Heart to the next pillar. The pillar was in a different town called Flopside, which was hidden inside a temple. Then when the team reached the second floor, they saw an old man who looked like Merlon.
"I welcome you!" the man said. "I knew you would come by eventually."
"Who are you? And where are we?" Elise asked.
"Ho oh. I can see that you would like to ask me where in the world we are," the man said. "This place may seem like Flipside, but do not be mistaken. You were in Flipside, but you flip-flopped sides...friends you are in Flopside. Which means that I am not the Merlon you know. I am the Flopside version, a different Merlon entirely...you may call me...Nolrem. Don't you see? Ours has always been a story of two towns. The only ones who know about this flip-floperry are Merlon and I. You seem a bit surprised. There is a front and a back to all things, young ones. Now, the Pure Heart is one floor up. Go and place the Pure Heart within it. See you!" So he went back inside his house. The team went to the third floor to place the Pure Heart on it. A door appeared on the Flipside tower. Nolrem said Tippy was back to normal and to meet her at Merlon's house. So the team picked up Tippy and took her to their next adventure.


Me: Well, that's the end of this chapter. The next chapter will be the next adventure.

Mario: Over at the land of the Cragnons. We'll give you information each time you need help on your way to this chapter.

Sonic: Including those three blocks on each of the places you go through.

Me: Right. I hope all that information will help you through without getting information with the Cragnon who reveals the secret to those blocks. Don't forget to review.
