Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"So, you two saw me leave Radiant Garden after you defeated Sephiroth, right?" Cloud asked as Sabrina and Sora nodded. "We were battling in our world, but then he heavily injured me during our battle, I was this close to death but then I quickly escaped to heal up."
"Geez, how long was that battle?" Marisa asked.
"Too long." Cloud said. "After I was fully healed, I wanted to go back, but Aerith insisted I stay and train...so I did just that. Next thing I know, she disappears to help you save your brother in that crazy world you went into."
"If I had seen you, I would've brought you along with us." Sabrina said.
"That's fine." Cloud said. "So after trying to find Aerith to say goodbye, I just gave up and tried to go take down Sephiroth...and that's where Aria found me. She said that you and your team might be in huge amounts of trouble and Aerith might be in danger as well. I then dismissed the thought of taking on Sephiroth again to save you guys from Yuno." He explained.
"When I saw you on the roof, I assumed your battle with Sephiroth was over." Sabrina said.
"I wish." Cloud sighed. "After we all took down Yuno and got a glimpse of the Fairy Tail guild, I went back and tried to take down Sephiroth. That's why I wasn't at your wedding...it's because I was battling Sephiroth."
"Mama mia! You were battling Sephiroth for years?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Apparently. I was hoping it'd be a quick battle after we left Radiant Garden...but it went on longer than I anticipated. And during our battle, for some reason...we'd always end up in a different world. Smash Mansion, Skyworld, that one world with a blue robot..."
"Mega Man?" Sabrina asked.
"That's right." Cloud nodded. "Not only there, but Gensokyo, Mobius, Magnolia, I was even in this one world where this guy was so picky on things that are symmetrical."
"That...was Soul Eater." Sabrina said.
"Huh." Cloud shrugged. "I also went to this one place where it was...I think it said Hope's Peak Academy or whatever it was called. I've been to many worlds with Sephiroth, constantly fighting him all the time...and then we got to this world where we bumped into you guys."
"Well, at least Sephiroth is destroyed." Sora said. "Hopefully, for good this time."
"You're right." Cloud nodded. "So...how come you guys are here?" He asked.
One explanation later...
"Well then..." Cloud got up. "Let's go take down a hag, shall we?"
"Yeah!" Sabrina nodded. "Let's do thi-"
"Sabrina?" Sora looked at her. "You look...clammy."
"I...don't feel very good..." She said as she spotted a trash can and ran over to it.
"Oh..." Marisa said as they heard her just getting sick.
"Aaaand there's the sickness." A Toad said.
"I blame that pizza pie." Another said. "Or that ice cream."
"Do you think she's well enough to go with them?"
"I'm not sure. She may have to stick around here just to be safe."
"I...I don't know what happened." Sabrina said. "I felt fine just a second ago..." She muttered.
"Pregnancy can you make you suddenly sick on random occasions." Mario said as FLUDD perked up.
"I've picked up where the next crown is at. It's at Leaflitter Forest." FLUDD said.
"Well let's go the-" She turned pale again. "Oh no..."
"Poor girl..." Xarina looked at Sabrina sympathetically.
"Yeesh." Demyx sweatdropped.
"I...hate to be the bad guy here...but I suggest you stay here and leave the crown finding to us." Mario said.
Roxas (Kingdom Hearts II)
"Wh-what...?" Sabrina asked in surprise.
"You might slow us down with your sickness." Mario said. "Like I said, I hate to be the bad guy here...but..." He sighed. "We'll get through Leaflitter forest no sweat. We'll be back soon."
Tears ran down Sabrina's cheeks. "No...I...I want to be with you guys!"
Riku walked over to Sabrina and gently hugged him. "It'll be alright." He said.
"R-Riku..." She sobbed. "D-don't leave me here alone!"
"You're not gonna be alone. I'll go get Aria to keep you company." Xarina said. "As much as I like it if you were with us." She sighed.
"Hmm...I suggest you stay in our house while we're gone." Mario said. "Hopefully, we won't take too long."
"M-Mario..."
"You do need to take it easy." Sakuya said. "You've pushed yourself too hard while you're pregnant."
"Come on, let's go to Mario's house. You definitely need to rest." Riku said as they walked over to Mario's house where she soon sat down on the couch.
"Alright, you stay here and make yourself at home." Mario said. "We'll be back." He said.
"Love you." Riku said, kissing her on the cheek before walking out of the house.
Sabrina said nothing, she just sat there and more tears fell and started crying. "Poor girl..." Xarina sighed as she summoned her Keyblade. "I'll go get Aria." She said, but then a keyhole appeared behind them to see Aria landing behind them with Zero next to her.
"Zero told me what happened." Aria said, and just like Sabrina and Xarina, she looked different too. Her long hair was turned into a braid, she's also wearing a dark red T-shirt with the Fire Emblem symbol on it and comfortable jeans that were a little ripped.
"Whoa...so that's what you did with your hair on the girl's night out, huh?" Riku asked.
"Pretty much." Aria grinned.
"Wait a minute, Sabrina didn't summon you!" Sora told Zero.
"I come and go as I please." Zero said. "Anyway, I think we need to start heading out to Leaflitter Forest."
"I'll look out for Sabrina." Aria said as they nodded and then they took off while she went inside Mario's house.

Blue Skies, White Clouds (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)
"Is it me or did it get a bit dark?" Cloud wondered as they entered the forest.
"I think it did." Sora said as it got dark and then they spotted a sleeping Wiggler just resting there and in the way. "Um..."
"Hey! Wake up!" Natsu told the Wiggler, but he didn't even budge. "WAKE UP!" He screamed, but Wiggler still didn't even move.
"Maybe some music will wake up the beast!" Sombrero Guy said. "Alright boys, let's do this!" He said as the Shy Guys started playing a song, but once again, the Wiggler didn't move.
"is it deaf?" Maracca Guy asked.
"I wonder if I should whack him with my accordion." Accordion Guy said.
"I think I know just how to do it." Xarina said as she called out Mew.
"Mew mew?"
"I think we need to wake up Wiggler with a little song." She said, taking out the flute in her pocket as Mew's eyes lit up.
"Mew mew!" it exclaimed as it transformed into Meloetta. "Meloetta!"
"You think that'll work?" Sora asked.
"I think it will." Xarina said as she started playing it as Meloetta started singing along to it as everyone closed their eyes.
"Ah, that takes me back." Demyx said.
"I can listen to this all day..." Sombrero Guy said. "I'm feeling relaxed."
"My cares have disappeared." Accordion Guy said.
"Mama mia...that's so beautiful." Luigi said.
"So peaceful." Sakuya said as Marisa nodded in agreement.
"I have never heard this peaceful melody before." Zero chuckled.
"Mmm...huh?" The Wiggler got up and stretched. "Well hello there!"
Have a Nice Talk (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"Why were you blocking the path?" Cloud asked.
"Oh, it's because i got hungry so I came over here to eat."
"Uh, couldn't you have eaten somewhere else?" Sora asked.
"I tried, but there's this poisonous goop that's killing all the good stuff!" Wiggler whined. "So I had to come out here to find some non-poisoned food!"
"Poisonous goop?" Mario blinked and then sighed. "Junior was here."
"Come on, I'll show you where my house is so we can talk more." Wiggler said as they started following the caterpillar. "It's really dark in here because of the goop, so you gotta be really care-" Something grabbed him and pulled him away. "WHOA!" He yelled and disappeared into the forest.
Leaflitter Path (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)
"What the heck just happened?" Sora asked.
"I dunno...but I think we need to go after that Wiggler." Mario said.
"Um...guys?" Marisa got their attention to see a lot of Swoopin' Stus coming out of the poisoned goop and was headed right for them.
"Oh boy." Mario said as FLUDD started spraying water at them and clearing the area of the goop, saving a couple of Snifits in the process as they kept on going.
"I'm picking up a Comet Piece nearby." FLUDD said as they kept going forward as they spotted the Comet Piece in front of them.
"There you are." Natsu said as they soon walked over to get it.
"HALT!" A voice yelled as two Boomerang Bros got in front of them. "You won't go any farther!"
"You hear us? You won't stand a chance agai-" They were fire punched away by Natsu. "NO FAIR! WE DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE TO ATTAAAAACK!" They yelled as they were flying into the forest.
"Hmph...what a bunch of cocky morons." Natsu said as they soon walked over and took the Sticker Comet.
"I'm picking up the next Comet Piece...it's in the Bafflewood." FLUDD said as they went deep into the forest.
World 3-2: Lost in the Forest!
"Welcome!" A Snifit exclaimed. "Just try your best to finding the Comet Piece in this place!"
"Don't deviate from the real path though...you could end up back here." The other Snifit warned.
"Okay." Riku said. "Let's do this." He said as they went over to the correct path...right when the Koopa Bros showed up.
"Alright, we should definitely go after and attack them!" Red said.
"You mean, go to the same direction as they did?" Black asked.
"Yep!"
"Why not just go to the other path and ambush them?" Yellow suggested.
"...That's a brilliant idea." Red said. "TO THE OTHER PATH!" He yelled as they went to the other path.
Beware the Forest's Mushrooms (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)
The group got back to the starting point as they looked around. "Okay...so we took a wrong direction." Natsu said. "We just went in a gigantic circle!"
"Okay, so we don't take the right." Riku said as they went ahead again and then the Koopa Bros looked around.
"Were we just here?" Green asked.
"Did we go in a circle?" Red asked.
"Do you think we need to go over to the right?" Yellow asked.
"Pfft, we could just jump on the trees." Red said as they jumped on the trees ninja style, but then they came back to the starting point. "Or we CAN'T do that." He growled as they went the correct path.
The others came back to the starting point. "Okay, this is getting annoying." Zero said.
"You're telling me..." Xarina growled.
"I wonder..." Marisa flew up on her broom to get a good look, but then she sweatdropped. "Oh dear..." She said as she flew back down. "I couldn't see the path from up above." She said.
"Well we're gonna be here for a while." Sora sighed as they went on ahead again and then the Koopa Bros showed up again.
"I think we need a map." Red said.
"Tell me about it." Green said. "Yo! Do you have any maps?"
"Nope...no maps here!" The Snifit said.
"Fantastic..." Red growled as they went on ahead again.
And once again, the group arrived. "...I could tell we were close." Riku said.
"I am THIS close to burning up the forest." Natsu growled in frustration.
"I'm just ready to have Mew transform into Camerupt and use Magnitude to level this stupid forest." Xarina growled.
"Meloetta..." Meloetta muttered as they went ahead again...and the Koopa Bros arrived.
"ARGH! I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE TRUSTED THAT SNIFIT!" Red yelled. "He just HAD to point us in the wrong direction!"
"I'm getting tired of seeing the same Piranha Plant." Yellow muttered.
"I think we need a strategy guide for this stupid forest." Black said.
"Strategy guides are for wimps." Red said as they went on ahead.
Eventually...
"OH FINALLY!" Marisa yelled. "There it is!" She pointed to the Comet Piece in front of them.
"Oh thank goodness...I was about to scream in frustration." Sakuya muttered as they then took the piece.
"The next one is in Wiggler's Tree House." FLUDD said as they nodded and took off.
Meanwhile...
"OH COME ON!" Red yelled. "I THOUGHT WE HAD IT!"
"We're gonna be in here for a long time..." Yellow muttered.
"We might as well need a strategy guide..." Red sighed in frustration.
===================================================================================================
I originally had Lost Woods from Ocarina of Time for the maze, but then I thought "What if I use the Forest Maze from Mario RPG instead?" So boom...here it is!
And I felt really bad for Sabrina when I was writing this chapter.
