BGM: Mushroom Kingdom – Peach's Castle (Super Mario Odyssey)
"Okay, I got the video all set up… and we can all see them!" Nitori said. "Now, if you'll excuse me… I believe some snacks are in order!" She smiled.
"Oh, I'll come with you!" Marisa said.
"Ditto on that." Dante said as they walked toward the kitchen.
"Hey, you guys want anything?" Nitori asked.
"Nah, we're good." Maria said.
"Alright, suit yourself." Nitori said as she walked in.
"I could've gone for something." Marco said.
"Actually, I have a better idea." Maria said, looking at Nitori's computer.
"Oh?"
"We're going to that universe."
"We?!"
"Yes." Maria looked at her nephew with a smile. "We."
Marco smirked, pulling out some kind of dark purple glove from his pocket. "Let's roll."
Back in the other universe…
BGM: Halloween Town (Kingdom Hearts II)
"And that's how we ended up disappearing on you all." Owain said as they were walking.
"So that explains it…" Chrom said. "You were sent over to another land because of that."
"Yup." Owain nodded.
Lucina sighed. "I knew that things were dire for Anankos, but you could've at least told us that you three were going somewhere! Your mothers were worried sick…"
"I don't think my mother was too worried…" Severa mumbled quietly.
"Oh, don't say that. I was worried sick about you. I was scouring the land all over looking for you." Cordelia said.
"…If you say so…" She muttered.
…I may have to ask her about the relationship between her and her mother soon. Beruka thought, glancing over at Camilla's Wyvern carrying the drunken princess.
"I think you guys went overboard." Gray said.
"Pfft, not my fault that she can't hold her own." Cana said.
"You're the only one with an artificial liver. That's why Kai didn't want to drink with you."
"It was just one barrel!"
"One?"
"…Okay, maybe two or three." Cana sheepishly said, glancing over at the drunken Camilla and then over to Kai who was chatting it up with Peach. "…Seriously though, I want to know what her limit is. She claims she drinks, and I want to know how many she can take!"
Gray sweatdropped. "Oh brother."
"Really! You're a nurse too?" Peach asked.
"Yeah." Kai nodded. "Like I said to the other guys, I've always wanted to be a nurse and well, I got my wish… and I started running the Mushroom Kingdom after you stepped down. I thought it'd be stressful with running a kingdom, being a nurse and being a loving wife and mother… but to my surprise, being a nurse is basically second nature to me."
Peach giggled. "I second that!" She said. "So, did I gift you anything on the other side?"
"Well, on my fifth wedding anniversary, you gave me your beloved brooch and said you wanted it to be a family heirloom… and then you sewed it onto my dress."
Peach smiled. "That sure sounds like me!" She giggled. "So, speaking of being stressed… you were stressed out about running the kingdom, weren't you?"
"Oh, you bet I was." She nodded. "I was so extremely paranoid, I felt I was gonna be sick… but I was overthinking it too much."
"You know, I was in the same boat as you were."
"Oh?"

BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"Yeah." She nodded. "When I was a little girl, my parents were assassinated as they were traveling. They were ambushed by Bowser's father and his gang. They held their own in a fierce battle… but they were shot by a few Bullet Bills from a hiding spot… and then they were burned alive. The carriage they were in took off back to the kingdom… but the driver was also killed and the horse barely made it to the kingdom before succumbing to the injuries as well."
"Oh my god…" Kai whispered.
"When the kingdom realized that the Koopa Kingdom was responsible for this, they were so angry they declared war… and I was just three years old at the time." She continued. "I had become the next ruler of the Kingdom without realizing it. Toadsworth didn't want to tell me the news. I looked outside and I had a feeling that something happened to my parents… but I was hoping I was wrong. It wasn't until my sixth birthday when I heard one of the servants talking about how they died, unaware that I was within earshot. I had a feeling they were dead… but hearing it personally was enough to turn your whole world upside down."
"Peach… I'm so sorry… I… I didn't even know."
"It's not your fault. I don't like talking about this since I've spent my whole childhood parentless." She said and looked at Kai. "You're lucky that you have your own parents… I didn't have such a leisure. I had the whole entire kingdom on my shoulders and I didn't know what to do. Toadsworth helped me out… but I didn't know how I'd handle things. It wasn't until my teenage years that I got a hang of things."
She looked at Kai. "Why do you think I'm so bubbly and carefree all the time? Why I'm so non-chalant about everything, why I'm always smiling? It's because… it's because I smile through the pain. I even smiled when I heard about how Bowser's father was killed. It wasn't because I was glad that monster was dead… it was because I was hiding the pain and I didn't want anyone to see my tears…"
Peach… Daisy thought as she was overhearing this. Damn… and you never bothered to tell me this? I am going to give you the biggest hug imaginable...
"Peach… I'm so sorry about this." Kai said, hugging her… and then Vito and Anastasia hugged her as well as they heard the conversation.
"It's alright… I'm glad I finally told someone about this." She said. "It still hurts…"
Peach then felt a caring hand on her own as she turned to see that it was none other than Mario, who had also overheard it, as he had a concerned yet caring look on his face. "Thank you, Mario." She whispered.
As they walked into the new area while Peach seemed to be out of it and Kai and her family were giving her caring yet worried looks, it was at this moment that Luigi started to float up.
Pause BGM
"Whoa… whoa! Hey! HEY! WHAT'S GOING ON?!" Luigi screamed as he was floating in mid-air as everyone saw this and immediately looked at King Boo.
"What makes you think I'm doing it?" He asked. "Though, now I got a good idea for a prank!"
"NOT FUNNY!" Luigi yelled… and then the culprit showed himself, being a ghostly Rabbid.
"Bwah ha ha ha!" The ghostly Rabbid laughed.
"Eh… he doesn't look that scary." Wario said.
"Hmm… potential…" Tharja mused as the ghostly Rabbid dropped Luigi and flew around, laughing.
Peek-a-Boo – Teleporting Terrors!
BGM: Spooky Skirmish (Mario and Rabbids: Kingdom Battle)
"Oh joy, Peek-a-Boos." Beep-0 said. "They love teleporting and draw you in close to them with a trance and then fire at you for devastation."
"How do you know this? We just met them!" Lea said.
"Liz installed a scanner mechanism inside of me, so I scanned them and got their information. Heck, I did it with all of you so I pretty good idea what your attacks are and what you like and what not."
Starlow looked at Elizabeth. "That's both awesome and… freaky at the same time."
Elizabeth smiled. "Thank you." She said.
"So this little guy knows about us. That's actually well designed if you ask me." Robin said. "Alright, now let's get rid of these Peek-a-Boos!"
Everyone spread out with Luigi pulling out his weapon and aimed at a Peek-a-Boo. "Steady…" He whispered.
"Laaaaah!" One of the Peek-a-Boos said, and unfortunately… Cirno was in range and was drawn to him… and then she snapped out of it at the wrong moment.
"Wait, how did I get here? …Uh oh."
"Bwah bah!"
"Oh no you don't!" Cirno said. "Icicle Fall!" She shouted, but a Ziggy came out of hiding and shot the icicles away. "No fair!" She said as the Peek-a-Boo shot her. "AGH!"
One of the icicles landed near a certain cotton candy haired lady as she saw this while taking cover with Xander. "Oh?" She wondered and then picked it up, carefully examining it and then poked it at the top as she smirked wickedly. Perfectly sharp!
"Alright Peri, I want you to-" Xander turned his head to see Peri already gone. "…Peri?"
"Uh… Xander?" Inigo got his attention and pointed to where Peri was at… she was running straight for a Ziggy who was hiding from Robin and Kai.
Xander sighed. "Not again…" He muttered.
"Where'd she get that icicle?" Inigo wondered as Peri ran forward and attempted to stab a poor Ziggy… only problem was, the icicle melted before she could do such a thing.
"Wha? Where'd my precious weapon go?" She wondered as the Ziggy saw this and laughed, pointing at her and laughing hysterically. "…Oh no worries, I still have this!" She smirked wickedly, pulling out her spear.
"…Bwah dah…" The Ziggy paled and ran away screaming as Peri chased after it.
"I'm gonna have me a Rabbid-kabob and no one's stopping me!" Peri said crazily with Xander and Inigo chasing after her.
"Is it me, or does Nohr have a bunch of crazy people?" Lucy wondered with a sweatdrop.
"I was wondering the same thing." Caeda said.
"I'm not even gonna bother with that." Cordelia said as Xander finally tackled Peri to the ground as the Ziggy laughed at this… and then got fire punched away by Natsu.
"Aww…" Peri pouted as the last of the Peek-a-Boos were defeated by Youmu.
End BGM
"Peri, you gotta control yourself with this blood lust of yours. You have to remember that that the Megabug above us is controlling and corrupting these innocent Rabbids." Xander explained. "I know how much you love bloodshed, but please, humor me and try to control yourself."
Peri sighed. "Yes Lord Xander…" She muttered.
"…Although… If, and this is a big 'if', if something were to happen to me, you can have free reign on making mince meat on those Rabbids."
Peri's eyes lit up. "Thank you, Lord Xander!" She said, hugging him tightly and skipped off. "I'm gonna be making lots of Rabbid-kabobs if Lord Xander gets injured~!" She sang happily.
"That's not exactly what I meant!" Xander called and then sighed. "Oh, what am I gonna do with you."
Take her to a mental asylum. Lucy thought.
"She's one of a kind, I'll give her that." Ryoma said.
"True… and she means well." Xander nodded. "I just wish I can find a way to curb this thirst for blood however." He said.
"Perhaps a little shock therapy." Anastasia said, her hand bursting with electricity as Laxus had the same idea.
"That won't be necessary."
"Alright, suit yourself." Laxus said, as they both deactivated their electricity and pressed on, walking into another area where they saw things floating around and saw Shy Guy masks on bookcases and the like.
"Wow… I feel so sorry for these Shy Guys." Katie said.
"I dunno, the masks could just be for decoration." Roxas said.
"Maybe, but given how this world is going completely bonkers, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these bookcases had a Shy Guy in it." Lea said as they walked ahead and then came across a huge wall with some Ziggies, Peek-a-Boos, Rabbid Heartless and Supporters… and a few Boos floating around on top.
"Hehehe." King Boo floated over to the Boos. "My fellow Boos! Join me in our cause to end these pesky Rabbids once and for all!" He said as the Boos cackled and turned to the corrupted Rabbids, where they proceeded to make a mess of them from the other side of the wall, with one Boo teleporting the two Rabbids up front.
"BWAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" They all cried.
"…I don't even want to know…" Youmu quietly said.
"They're having all the fun!" Peri pouted as King Boo emerged from the wall.
"Alright, you can come over now!" He said as they did so… while the two Boos decided to have some fun with Luigi and carried him over.
"WHOOOOOOOOA!" He yelled and then the Boos dropped him, luckily Daisy was right under him.
"Gotcha!"
"Phew, thank you."
"You're welcome." King Boo chuckled as they went on… and saw a Gramophone in the distance.
"Ah! One of the Relics of Goodness!" Beep-0 said and then went over to it. "Now, let's get this and get out of here."
"Hold on! What's the rush?" King Boo asked as he saw a mural of himself on the ground. "Why don't we just take our time and admire this lovely mural of yours truly?" He asked… and then Marisa and Youmu pushed him away.
"Alright, let's go, you narcissist." Marisa said.
"Who are you calling a narcissist?! Can't I admire my own mural? You are buzzkills, you hear me? Buzzkills!"
"Yeah yeah, whatever." Youmu said as they were walking back with Beep-0 carrying it on his head.
"Hey uh, Beep-0? How are you carrying that?" Yoshiko asked.
"Simple! Liz programmed me to pick up items and have it levitate above me!" He said.
"Ooooh!" Nitori pulled out a notepad and wrote it down. "I am so going to use that. What'd you do?"
"Well, it's simple, I simply used-"
"And there she goes on her scientific rants again." Xinah said.
"Does it happen often?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah… and we usually kinda tune her out because… well, she usually loses us when she starts rambling on." Anastasia said.
Elfman tried to listen on her rant but he started getting confused and… well, he fell on his knees. "I'm no man if I can't comprehend complicated science!"
"Oh, get a grip!" Cana, Jellal, Meredy and Sting yelled while Lisanna and Mira comforted the strong man.
"Even would definitely get along with her." Lea sweatdropped. "Speaking of which, I wonder how they're doing in this scenario."
"Aaaand that is how you do it." Elizabeth said, finishing her rant with a proud smile.
"Wow! I am definitely going to share this with my fellow Kappa!" She grinned.
She understood all of that?! Hina thought in surprise as they went back to the main square and put the gramophone down on the golden pedestal.
"Alright, that takes care of that!" Beep-0 said and then he buzzed. "Oh! Our admirer!" He said and started to read it, clearing his… uh, robotic throat. "Good job! You found one of the relics. Hopefully it was extremely unpleasant."
"…Yeah, it was." Luigi muttered, looking at King Boo who whistling casually while the Boos cackled and then Severa and Beruka looked at the still-drunken Camilla while the Rabbids fearfully looked over at Peri, even Rabbid Mario was a bit unnerved by her.
"Er… unpleasant to your enemies, I mean! The second Relic of Goodness will involve a long and perilous journey during which you'll probably meet a grisly end. Have fun!" Beep-0 continued and stopped. "…I hope this Tom Phan guy is worth it."
"You and me both." Starlow agreed.
"Bah, I'm sure this admirer of yours is just trying to scare us. It's not working." Wario said.
"Working well with Luigi! Wahahaha!" Waluigi laughed, earning a glare from Luigi as they went off a different route, into some dark forest… and bumped into Toadette with a treasure chest on her head.
"Oh, hi guys!" Toadette waved.
"Oh, for the LOVE OF. Not again!" Beep-0 complained and then looked at Elizabeth. "It'd make me feel a lot better if you added in cursing to my system, just throwing that out there."
"I could've sworn I did." Liz said.
"Screwdriver?" Nitori asked, handing it to her.
"Thank you." She said and then looked at Beep-0. "You might feel a slight… pinch."
"Ah, like I'd feel anything. Lay it on me!"
"So, what are you guys up to?" Toadette asked.
"Oh you know, saving the world, looking for things, the usual." Marisa said.
"Neat! I was just playing hide and seek with Toad and… well, we got lost and I'm trying to find him."
"Why not put a motion tracker on him so you can easily find him?" Beep-0 deadpanned.
"Nah, that won't work."
"So… what's in it for us?" Wario asked.
"If you help me, I can give you this treasure chest on my head."
Wario smirked. "Deal!"
"And done… try it out." Liz smiled.
"Alright." Beep-0 said and turned to Toadette. "Ahem. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! WHY ARE YOU AND TOAD ALWAYS GETTING INTO THESE GOD DAMN SITUATIONS ALL THE GOD DAMN TIME?!" He yelled and then turned to Elizabeth. "Thank you!" He chirped.
Elizabeth giggled. "You're welcome!"
"'Cause it's fun!" Toadette said, earning a few facepalms.
"…If I had a hand, I'd be facepalming at that comment." Starlow said. "All I have are legs!"
"At least you have legs. I'm just a scientific Roomba… with rabbit ears!" Beep-0 said.
"You look cute with the rabbit ears." Elizabeth told him.
"Oh, you really think so?" He asked, his color turning pink. "Thank you!"
"You installed a blushing mechanism inside him?" Anastasia asked.
"Why not?" Elizabeth chuckled as they walked around the area as some of them looked up into the sky.
"The full moon looks pretty tonight." Zelda said.
"Yeah, it does." Link nodded.
"…Full moon?" Lea asked and looked up. "…Uh oh."
"What's wrong?" Zelda asked.
"Well… let's just say one of my friends goes a little insane under the moonlight…" He said.
"Wasn't that when he was just a Nobody?" Xion wondered.
"Yeah well, apparently some of it rubbed off on him when he turned human again." Lea sweatdropped. "You'd think medication would do something about it, but nope."
"I'm glad that Flandre doesn't do something like that." Remilia said.
"Thank heavens." Patchouli said.
"I thought that was just with Kingdom Hearts." Kai said.
"Unfortunately, it's any kind of moon." Lea muttered. "Not just Kingdom Hearts… unfortunately."
"Excuse me, what the hell is Kingdom Hearts?" Anastasia asked.
"Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds, and the source of ultimate power and wisdom. It can basically look like a heart shaped moon." Riku explained.
"Sounds more like a video game if you ask me." Xinah said.
"Oh please, who'd want to play a game like that with a heart shaped moon as a major plot point?" Lea asked.
"…Eh, good point."
"I doubt such a game exists in our universe anyway." Kai said.
"In any case, we might as well be on the look out for Isa… to be on the safe side." He suggested and then as they walked around, they heard some rustling bushes. They turned to the source, with their weapons ready… and out came a small harmless Rabbid.
"Oh, it's just a Rabbid." Mario said.
"Phew…" Luigi sighed with relief.
"Bwah?" The Rabbid looked up into the air and his eyes widened. "DAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed, pointing into the sky as they looked to see Isa coming down, Claymore in hand… and ready to kill them.
BGM: Shaded Truths (Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep)
"RAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled, as he threw the Claymore down at them, forcing them to jump back and then Isa landed near them, picking it up.
"Isa! Snap out of it!" Lea ordered, but when Isa glared at him, he couldn't help but notice his eyes looked a little green. "…What the… that's not your normal eye color!"
"Maybe he's possessed." Roxas said, summoning his two Keyblades.
"If that's the case, then I'm snapping him out of it!" Lea said, but Isa jumped into the air and landed near Kai and before she could do anything, he slammed his Claymore into her stomach and sent her flying into the woods.
"KAI/MOM!" Everyone yelled as Vito and Anastasia went to go get to her, but Isa got in the way and was ready to do the same to them, but Lea got in the way and blocked with his chakrams.
"Urgh… Don't you dare."
"I'll go get her!" Reimu said and then she flew off, but as she did… she summoned a few spell cards and during the distraction with Isa, Cirno noticed what Reimu did and flew off after her, which Takumi noticed.
"Oh no, you don't." Takumi whispered and then went after them, unspotted by them all… all except for Miko and Zero as they both looked at each other and nodded as they went off.
"Alright, you bastard…" Anastasia said, her eyes glowing and electricity coming out of her body. "As soon as we're done with you, I'm going to check on my mother!"
"Let's do this!" Marisa said.
End BGM
With Kai…
Kai had landed in a small clearing of the forest and got up, groaning to herself before coughing out blood. "Ugh… that hurt…" She said before using Curaga on herself, and then she heard something rustling in the bushes. She turned to see Danmaku coming straight for her as she quickly used Reflega to knock them back.
It was then that Reimu emerged from the bushes. "Oh, it's just you." She said. "I was hoping I'd hit a demented Rabbid instead."
"Well guess what? It's just me." Kai said with her arms folded. "I see you still have your spell cards in your hand."
"What of it?" She asked. "Helps to be prepared."
"…Yeah, like trying to kill me for example."
"I would never kill you, after what you did to me, I saw the error of my ways."
"Ha! That is bullshit and you know it."
"I see…"
"You know…" Kai walked over to her. "In my universe, I don't go out of my way to physically beat up someone over a misunderstanding. I'd talk it out with them and try to figure out a peaceful solution to the problem."
"Well, aren't you just a kind ruler." Reimu rolled her eyes… when suddenly Kai grabbed her by the collar.
"But we're not in my universe… are we?"
"…No."
"Good." She said and proceeded to punch Reimu in the face to knock her back.
BGM: G Free ~ Final Dream (Touhou: Concealed the Conclusion)
"You never should have come here!" Reimu said as she got back up, pulling out her spell cards and fired Danmaku at Kai, who quickly used Reflega to knock them back.
"We were only just trying to help… and what happens? You, of all people, have been nothing but hostile towards us!"
"It's because you ruined this universe… and I plan on correcting it!"
"Getting rid of us won't solve the problem!"
"But it's a START!" She yelled, flying over and kicking Kai, who blocked the attack, and then Kai used an uppercut with her Keyblade to knock her back. She then jumped back and used Triple Firaga on her, but she recovered and quickly avoided the fireballs.
"I can't believe you. You're still upset by all this? That's just pathetic."
"No, what's pathetic is that you used that sob story of yours to get people to like you more!"
"What?! You can't be…" Kai growled. "I wasn't looking for any of that!"
"If you became such a better parent, your daughter wouldn't even have snapped at you. Your bad parenting caused this mess!"
"…Oh… you did not just go there!"
"So what if I did?"
"Alright, that's it!" Kai said as she ran over and slashed Reimu repeatedly who dodged every attack and then used Sky Wind God Kick to knock her to a tree.
"Illusionary Moon!"
Kai quickly rolled out of the way after snapping out of her daze and then she used Strike Raid on her but she quickly avoided it as she resummoned her Keyblade right as Reimu flew over and punched her right in the face, which Kai retaliated by sweep kicking her and using Eruption to knock her back.
"Fantasy Dimensional Rift!"
"Hah!" Kai yelled, unleashing a Reflega to send the Danmaku back as Reimu threw Yin Yang orbs at her to which she blocked a few of them and then Reimu flew over and kicked her, but she backflipped to avoid the miko, only to get a Yin Yang orb to the face. Reimu flew over and punched Kai in the stomach and then used an uppercut to knock her in the air, but she Aerial Recovered and used Thundaga on Reimu.
"ARGH!" She yelled as Kai landed and used Sonic Blade to knock her into a tree and then used Ragnarock on her, but a sudden ice wall prevented the Ragnarock to hit Reimu… and then Cirno landed.
"I got your back, Reimu!" Cirno said. "This emo hag is going to pay!"
"Oh… I am going to enjoy this even more now." Kai said… and then the sound of a Pokeball opening up was heard as Garchomp was right there with her.
"Gar!" Garchomp cried and then pointed to her pocket.
"Oh, good idea!" She nodded, pulling out a Mega Ring and then equipping it and as she was about to do it, an icicle hit her on the shoulder. "Agh!"
"Nope! Not letting you do any magic or whatever!" Cirno said and then turned her head when she heard something as she saw Takumi coming in… and had his bow out, summoning an arrow and aiming at Kai. "Good! Now it's really fun!"
"I have a feeling Reimu will fight Kai… so do anything you can to stop Reimu from doing anything crazy." Miko's words echoed in his head as Takumi smirked and winked at Kai, as she saw the wink and nodded as Takumi turned at Cirno and shot her on the shoulder.
"AGH! What the hell, man?!" Cirno yelled.
"Sorry, but I'm not letting you hurt the queen." Takumi said.
"You bastard!" Cirno yelled, and then they heard an unfamiliar noise as they turned to see Garchomp mega evolving into Mega Garchomp.
"GAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"
"Garchomp, help Takumi with Cirno. I've got a Miko to take down." Kai ordered as Garchomp nodded and went over to Takumi.
"…Not sure what just happened, but I'll take it!" Takumi said, aiming at Cirno.
"Alright, you're going down pineapple breath!"
It was at this moment when Kai turned to Reimu, a few Yin Yang orbs were shot at her and smacked her in the head. "Ungh!" She winced as Reimu went over and punched her in the gut before doing a jumping spin kick to knock Kai down.
Kai got back up and used Curaga on herself as she ran over and slashed her repeatedly, but Reimu dodged every attack and then kicked the Keyblade off of Kai and punched her, but she blocked with her arms and proceeded to punch Reimu at the same time, both of their fists hitting each others cheeks and then jumping back.
Kai then resummoned her Keyblade. "What will it take for you to snap out of this anger of yours?!"
"By exterminating the likes of YOU!"
"…Alright, I've just about had it with you!" Kai growled as she put her hand back, as Reimu noticed darkness coming out of her hand and then a few Flood and Hareraiser Unversed showed up to help.
"What the… you summon Heartless? I knew I shouldn't have trusted you!"
"They're called Unversed!" Kai said, commanding the Flood and Hareraisers to attack Reimu as they went to do so, but Reimu flew up in the air and then suddenly, Danmaku cards surrounded Kai and the Unversed.
"Who cares?" She asked. "FANTASY SEAL!" She yelled as it exploded while Kai screamed at agony while the Unversed disappeared and then she fell on both knees, trying to find her strength to get up and then Reimu kicked her down.
Takumi turned to Kai. "Kai!" He shouted as Garchomp also looked worried.
"Hey! Eyes on me, pineapple head!"
"I've just about had it with people calling me a pineapple!" Takumi complained and shot an arrow at Cirno.
End BGM
Reimu aimed her hand at Kai while stepping on her hand. "No one's going to really miss you when you're gone." She said as Kai glared hard at her. "This is goodbye." She said, charging up a Yin Yang Orb… when she heard footsteps coming in and when she looked up… a fist hit her head and sent her back several feet.
"Back off."
Kai's eyes widened. That voice… She turned her head. "Maria?!"
BGM: Battle – Stone Talus (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)
"Yo."
"Ugh… another one of you?!" Reimu growled. "Fine, I'll take care of you too!"
"You really wanna rumble with the queen of Sarasaland?" Maria asked. "Fine… be my guest."
Reimu flew over to Maria, sending Danmaku over to her as she quickly summoned her own Keyblade and blocked the attacks and then threw her Keyblade up in the air and when Reimu got close, she punched her hard in the face, sending her back.
"Nngh…" She groaned as Maria caught her Keyblade.
"I'm giving you one chance to stand down."
"Nngh… it's no use." Kai told her. "Her hatred for our universe has consumed her…"
"Then I'll knock the shit out of her until this hatred is all gone." Maria said, cracking her knuckles and as Reimu got ready to attack, a Thundaga hit her.
"AAAAAAAGH!"
It was then that Zero and Miko ran up and joined the women. "Nice of you to join us, Maria." Zero said. "You came alone?"
"No, I brought my nephew along."
Kai's eyes widened. "Marco?!"
"Bingo." Maria nodded.
"Reimu, stop this at once!" Miko said. "Kai's just trying to help!"
"Yeah, and I don't give a damn. They're responsible for this… and once I'm done with these two, I'm going after her family and friends!"
"Alright… you leave us with no choice." Maria said, using Curaga on Kai as she got back up. "Let's do this."
"I'm taking you all down!"
"MASTER GOD DAMN MOTHERFUCKING SPAAAAAAAAAARK!" A voice screamed.
"Huh?" Reimu turned… and got hit by a Master Spark. "AAAAGH!" She cried… and then got hit by a massive fireball.
End BGM
"Reimu!" Cirno exclaimed and then got hit by a Dragon Claw from Garchomp. "ARGH!" She cried and then Takumi lit up.
"You'll never hit this target!" Takumi said, firing a critical at Cirno… right on the head.
"AAAAGH!" She screamed and fell to the ground unconscious.
"…If what they said is true about fairies in Gensokyo, you'll revive from that."
"Nngh…" Reimu got up… only to get punched to the ground by Marisa.
"So we finally manage to get away from Isa… and what do we see? THIS!" Marisa said, glaring hard at her best friend with Mokou right next to her.
"You alright?" Mokou asked Kai.
"Yeah, I'll live…" Kai said, rolling her shoulder.
"What the HELL is wrong with you?!" Marisa yelled. "I know you don't like them from this freak accident… but why… oh why… would you do something like this?!"
"I did this because I'm saving this universe from the likes of them! And surprise surprise, we got another one of them… this time from Sarasaland!"
"So?"
"So my point is, I'm saving this universe from scum like them!"
"No… you're not saving this universe." Marisa said. "What you're doing is that you're being selfish and you're hellbent on destroying them from what? An accident? A freak accident that was out of their control?!"
"It was no accid-"
"YES, IT WAS!" Marisa yelled. "You don't see that because you were quick to pin the blame on these guys because you wanted to do what, help? Become a hero of this universe?"
"That's exactly the point… and you guys don't see that!"
"Oh no, we're seeing clearly on this. We're seeing clearly that this was a freak accident and it's no ones fault. You, however, don't."
"Some people agreed with me!"
"Dammit, Reimu! No one did! Cirno's just… Cirno and Takumi got out of it far quicker than you! What I don't get is why you always jump to conclusions and quickly pin the blame on someone the minute a new incident starts!"
"But that Liz girl said it herself! She says that it's her fault… and that makes it their universes fault!"
"No… no it isn't! How many times do people have to say it to get through that thick skull of yours?!"
"Thick sku-… what kind of friend says that to someone?!"
"…Honestly, no one would want to be your friend right now. Not even me."
Reimu's eyes widened. "Marisa, what do you mean by tha-"
"Look at yourself! Do you remember what you said about this mess?!" Marisa turned around. "I… I don't even know you anymore."
"Marisa… you're being overly dramatic here!"
"…No, I'm not. You, however, are being a stubborn bitch that no one would want to hang out with you anymore. I'm done." She said and walked off.
"Marisa!" Reimu walked over to her. "Marisa, stop this!"
Marisa turned to her, giving her a soul-piercing glare. "Why don't you just go away? We'll handle this ourselves."
"So what, you're pushing me away? That's not like you! We're in this together, like we always are!"
"…You've done enough. You're better off alone." She said, turning away as a tear ran down her cheek and ran off.
"Marisa!" Reimu exclaimed as the rest went off after Marisa, with Miko being the last one.
"How disappointing. You call yourself the heroine of Gensokyo… but honestly, right now… I don't see it." Miko said as she walked off, leaving Reimu by herself as she fell on her knees, feeling truly alone.
"…What have I done…" She whispered with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Back with the others…
Isa glared hard at Marco, who was standing in front of his sister… and there was some kind of needle in Isa's neck as there was a purple aura surrounding Marco's neck.
"Don't move… it'll make things worse." He glared as Isa was obviously weak from everyone's attacks but he did fend them all off… and he was going straight for Anastasia, but luckily Marco came in at the last second.
"Grrr… RAAAAAAAH!" He screamed, going straight for Marco as he stepped back and a dark purple ball of darkness surrounded the palm of his glove.
"Hah!" Marco exclaimed, shooting it right at Isa and then stepped out of the way as Isa was coughing uncontrollably and then he fell over and passed out.
"Is he…?" Anastasia wondered, and then watched her brother pull out a shot of some kind and stuck it into Isa's neck.
"There." He said and then tossed the needle away. "An antidote for the poison." He said, pulling another out of Isa's neck and throwing it away.
"Poison?" Anastasia wondered. "When have you taken an interest in poison all of a sudden?"
"Well, funny story… it's-" He stopped when he saw everyone else returning. "Hey mom!"
"Marco!" Kai smiled. "I'm so glad you're alright… but what's with that glove?"
He smiled as he pressed a button on it, as the glove suddenly stopped glowing. "It's a funny story, but-"
"Where's Reimu?" Vito asked.
"…She's not going to be bothering us anymore." Marisa said. "Let's just go." She said and walked off.
"Well, I guess we'll get an explanation on the two of you on our way." Ryoma said as they nodded and walked off, with Camilla's wyvern picking up Isa and placing him right next to the still drunken Camilla with Toadette finally reuniting with Captain Toad and then giving them the treasure.
"Here you go!" Toadette said.
"Come on, let's go play another round of hide and seek!"
"Right behind you!"
"No wait wait wait!" Beep-0 shouted, but the two were long gone. "Shit!"
"This better be worth it." Natsu said as he opened it… to discover a statue of the Peek-a-Boo enemies. "Oh… lame." He said, tossing it to the side.
"No gold in there?" Wario asked and then looked in, and then grumbled. "I was robbed by a Toad!"
"Come on, let's-a go." Mario said as they all walked off, hoping to find the second Relic of Goodness.
It was just a matter of time before Reimu got her comeuppance, no?
