BGM: This is Halloween (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Allow me to introduce myself." Maria said as they walked ahead. "I am Queen Maria Mario of Sarasaland from a different universe. In fact, I'm from the same universe as Queen Kai."

"Ah, I see." Ryoma said. "So, what brings you here? You wanted to help too?"

"Yes." She nodded. "I came over to discuss something with Kai when I noticed that everyone was long gone. So I, along with my neph-"

"You know, you don't have to talk so formal." Marisa interrupted.

Maria sweatdropped. "Oh come on, I was on a roll!"

Kai chuckled. "Forget it, Maria."

She sighed. "Man, I was sounding so elegant and mature…"

"Pfft, maturity is so overrated." Daisy said. "Kidding, but let's face it… being formal all the time is so boring!"

"I suppose…" Maria sighed once more.

"Alright, spill it." Kai said. "What'd you want to discuss? We can do it right here."

"Weeeell… when was the last time we had a girl's night out?"

Kai raised an eyebrow. "We had one just last week."

"I know, but it was just the two of us… I'm talking about us and the rest of the girls."

"Oh! …Yeah, it's been a while." Kai said.

"Ooooh, girl's night out! That sounds like fun!" Peach said. "We should do that too!"

"What's a… girls night out?" Elise wondered along with Kamui and Hinoka.

Peach gasped. "WHAT?! You never heard of one?! Oh that's it, when we get done with this Rabbid thing, we are doing a girls night out!"

"Bwah dah!" Rabbid Peach agreed, as the two high fived.

"Also, Kai… why aren't you wearing your dress? Peach and Daisy are wearing them." Maria said. "I mean, I'm wearing it!"

"I didn't want to ruin my dress nor my makeup." She said.

"Oh, that's fair." Maria nodded… and then a gap opened up near her and a note came flying out to her as she read it.

"You might as well do the same just to be on the safe side – Yukari."

"Oh, alright…" Maria sighed and a pair of clothes, make up remover, a mirror and a screen came out of the gap as well. "Excuse me one moment." She said and then went to go get changed.

"So… she said she's the queen of Sarasaland?" Daisy asked.

"Also, your daughter-in-law." Anastasia replied.

"DAUGHTER-IN-LAW?!" Luigi and Daisy yelled, as they looked at each other before blushing a deep red.

She does seem familiar, now that I think of it. They both thought.

"Oh yay! You two got married and had a kid!" Peach giggled. "I'm so happy!"

"Bwah dah dah dah… dah dah dah daaaaaaaaaaah!" Rabbid Luigi and Rabbid Daisy both sang the tune of "Here comes the bride" and then the two high fived.

"So… you guys know Yukari, right?" Yoshiko piped up.

"Like we haven't known her…" Meiling said. "Why?"

"Well… she's my aunt in that universe."

"Someone married Yukari?" Marisa asked. "Wow, who's the unlucky guy?"

"Hey!" Yukari glared at her.

"…Promise you won't scream?"

"Oh, how bad can it be?" Remilia asked.

"Yeah, it's not like she married some creep or anything." Pit said.

"…Her husband is Hades." Yoshiko said.

"PFFFT! HAHAHAHA!" Pit laughed as did the Gensokyo girls… minus Yukari. "You're joking, right? Why would Yukari marry Hades?! HAHAHAHAHAHA… HAHA…ha… ha… wait, you're serious?"

"I am."

With Rosalina's group…

"Hmm… I wonder if we made a wrong turn…" Rosalina wondered.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Everyone heard the screams.

"What was that?" Lissa asked.

"I don't know… let's go!" Juvia said as they went to investigate.

Back with the others…

"I still question why I, of all people, would marry such a clown." Yukari grumbled.

"…I'm just gonna pretend that I didn't even hear that." Mokou said… while Marisa and Meiling were KO'd, Remilia had the most surprised look on her face, Patchouli, Nitori and Hina had their mouths wide open, Youmu and Yuyuko went wide eyed, Yuuka, of all Youkai, seemed to have a scared look on her face, the Taoists seemed impressed and the fairies were actually trembling in fear over it.

"Intriguing…" Tharja mused.

"…Lady Palutena, if you can hear me, slap me over a million times until I forgot I heard that…" Pit said.

"That was our reaction too when we heard that." Kai said. "And yet, I'm still finding that hard to believe after all these years…"

"You're not the only one!" Maria said from afar.

"Mama mia…" Mario said, rubbing his head.

"I don't see what the big deal is." Camilla said. "Love is love, so honestly… What's wrong if Yukari married a God of the Underworld?"

"Meh, I can care less." Gajeel said. "So they got married, big whoop. If anything, it's probably just one major train-wreck of a marriage." He said… and then Levy poured water on Marisa and Meiling to wake the two up.

"Calling it now, that marriage won't last long!" Marisa said.

"They've been married for like… 13 years." Yoshiko said. "…Or was it more than that?"

"Well, it can't get any worse…" Marisa said.

"Oh! They also have a daughter named Buru!" Yoshiko said.

"…It got worse." Pit paled.

"She's also good friends with my parents." She added. "Also, she's a humongous troll too, she gets it from both of her parents."

"I'm actually intrigued by this." Yukari said.

"Also, she came from a bad future along with Kai and Maria's husbands, kind of like Lucina and her friends."

"Wow, I feel like we can get along from that." Lucina said.

"The more I hear about this universe, the more I'm intrigued by this." Lucario said as Robin nodded in agreement.

"Also, Marisa… Yukari and Buru tend to torture my uncle Hades on occasion."

"…Remember when I said the marriage is a train-wreck? I stand by it." Gajeel said.

"Remind me to scream at Yukari if I ever decide to go back there..." Marisa said.

"We come from a very unique universe, let's just go with that." Beep-0 said.

"I'm happy for them!" Elise said.

"Me too!" Mira smiled.

"Oooof course you two are…" Cana quietly said.

"Anyway, where's Reimu?" Luigi asked… and with a look on Marisa, Mokou, Takumi and Kai's faces, he had a feeling it was bad. "Uh… I guess I don't want to know."

"You don't." Takumi said.

"I am curious though." Lea said.

"Best that you don't ask."

"She let her anger get the better of her, didn't she?" Ryoma guessed, which they replied with a nod. "How bad?" Their looks said it all. "That bad then. I had a feeling her anger was consuming her… but it was still out of line, even for her." Ryoma said. "I can't believe she would jump to conclusions over that."

"Hmm… I would advise her to calm down and think things over, but she's not here at the moment." Xander said.

Samus crossed her arms. "However bad it was, I doubt even I would go that far, and I'm usually mad."

If only you knew… Kai thought, and then Maria rejoined them after the other Yukari came in to retrieve Maria's things and put them back in Sarasaland. Maria now had a blue T-shirt with the Inkling symbol in the middle of the front and had orange splattered around the symbol and on the back, it said "Stay Fresh!" and had dark green shorts, complete with sandals.

"So… bro, why'd you come here with aunt Maria?" Anastasia asked. "And why did you say poison?"

"Oh, right… you see-"

"Wait, hold on." Chrom stopped them as they came across a huge area filled with Rabbids and Heartless. "You can tell us after we're done with these."

"Right." Marco nodded as they got ready to fight.

BGM: Tension Rising (Kingdom Hearts II)

"We just gotta get through this place!" Kai said.

"Leave it to me!" Sonic grinned and took off running, but his feet got stuck in some honey that was laid by a Ziggy. "…What the…?"

"Bwahaha!" One of the Ziggies laughed and proceeded to shoot Sonic but Maria got in the way and used Reflega with her Keyblade.

"You alright?" Maria asked.

"I am now!" Sonic said as he tried to get his feet unstuck as Nitori quickly came to his side and fired simple water Danmaku to get rid of the honey, and then Hina spun around to have a few blocks fall right on top of some Smashers, and then exploded from two Sentries by Luigi and Rabbid Peach.

"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" Natsu yelled, punching several Rabbid Heartless in the air to which Jellal and Meredy got rid of them.

"Solid Script: Iron!" Levy yelled as it landed right on a Smasher… to which a Shadow Rabbid Heartless laughed at his fate… until the Smash fell with the word right on top of him, crushing the Rabbid, which of course had Rabbid Wendy and Rabbid Lucy laugh hysterically at their demise.

"Hiyah!" Cloud slashed through several Hoppers and then slashed them up in the air where Caeda and Hinoka went through the Hoppers to take them down, and then Zelda used Farore's Wind to teleport near the exit… but was left wide open to a Smasher, but then Link came in with his Hookshot and used a charged up Spin Attack to knock him in the air, and then he pulled out his bow and show him a few times to defeat him.

A Peek-a-Boo emerged from the ground and aimed at the two Hylians, but he was poked on the shoulder as he turned to see Daiyousei who waved at him before kicking him back… and while the kick didn't do much damage, it was enough to get him out of cover and then Luigi sniped him to defeat him… and then eventually, they all made it to the other side with the last one being Rabbid Natsu who took his time taunting them before he rejoined them.

End BGM

"Phew, that was a thing." Anastasia said. "Now, you were saying something about your poison?"

"Oh right, you see, I was-"

"You are all dooooomed!"

"…Huh?" Marco turned his head as they went to see a Rabbid-like robotic fortune teller.

BGM: Have a Nice Talk (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)

"We're all doomed?" Lucy asked, folding her arms with a raised eyebrow.

"Doomed to inferior fortune-telling and outrageous prices if you see someone besides Madame Bwahstrella!"

"Riiiiiiight…" Marisa had an unamused look.

"Well, thank you for your concern, but I prefer to build my house on the solid foundation of science and reason than… mindless superstition." Beep-0 said.

"Up top!" Elizabeth said, reaching for a high five as Beep-0 jumped up and smacked his head on her palm.

"Yeah!"

"Of course those two would agree that science is superior to superstition." Katie said.

"Well, excuse us!" Elizabeth said. "I mean, superstition is just plain ol' stupid."

"Agreed!" Beep-0 said.

"Y'all are sticks in the mud…" Gajeel quietly said.

"I can't believe I'm being bored by these two…" King Boo complained.

"So you DON'T want to know where to find the last relic?" Bwahstrella asked.

"One fortune for all of us!" Natsu said.

"…Dammit, I was gonna say that!" Beep-0 said.

"O'er the gardens, under the mountains… the item you seek is in the fountain."

Youmu sweatdropped. "Uh… what?"

"Could you repeat that?" Severa asked.

"Hmm…" Beruka had a notepad out and was writing it down while everyone else seemed a bit stumped.

"Can you give us a hint?" Sting requested.

"Yeah, what's the item?" Beep-0 asked.

"Even the light of Bwahstrella's inner eye can't penetrate the darkness in EVERY corner of the unknown." She said, which made some of them facepalm.

"Agh… why are we wasting our time here?" Riku asked.

"Hmph, worst fortune I ever had." Beep-0 said. "Is there a Chinese restaurant in our Mushroom Kingdom?"

"Yes, there's a few of them. One of my favorites is near the bakery." Kai said.

"Eh, I kinda prefer the one near Neo's Neo." Vito said.

"Wait, what? I don't remember seeing that." Kai said

"Huh… and we go to my aunt's ice cream store all the time. You'd think we'd notice that." Katie said.

"I wonder if just opened recently." Anastasia wondered.

"Heck, let's go to any of the Chinese restaurants." Beep-0 said. "I bet the fortunes are way better than this. Hope they allow bunny eared Roombas!"

"Agreed." Elizabeth nodded.

"WAIT!" Bwahstrella yelled. "Watch where you step – not ALL is as it seems."

"Bah, this is a waste of time." Wario said.

"Why? Does one of us trip or fall down a pit fall?" Lucy asked.

"Nope."

"That last one seems specific." Marth said.

"Erza always falls in pitfalls that Natsu makes."

"Those were meant for Gray!" Natsu said, which earned a glare from him while Caeda and Marth sweatdropped at this.

"Is it me or is Fairy Tail a bit dysfunctional?" Caeda asked.

"I'd ask… but I'm afraid of the answer myself." Marth replied.

"Ugh, let's just go… we're wasting our time here as is." Marisa said while Rabbid Peach was laughing and mocking Madame Bwahstrella.

"Madame Clairvoya was a better fortune teller than this." Luigi mumbled.

"Tell me about it!" King Boo agreed. "At least she was direct… though what she said sometimes…"

Sometime ago…

"You will be visited by a green man with a suctioning device… and you will be defeated."

"Eh?" King Boo tilted his body. "What kind of fortune is this? It's all… junk!"

"My crystal ball does not lie, your highness, nor is it junk. I'm also getting readings of a samurai girl mustering up the courage to defeat you."

"Okay, I think someone's been looking at the crystal ball too much!"

Back in the present…

"…If only I heeded those warnings…" King Boo grumbled.

"Hmph, even if you did, I still would've beaten you." Youmu said.

"Oh shut up!" King Boo glared.

"Come on, let's just get out of here." Cloud said as they all walked.

"You're all doomed! DOOOOOOOMED!"

End BGM

"Right, doomed… as if." Lea rolled his eyes, then looked at Maria. "So… I know that you're the daughter-in-law of Luigi and Daisy, but… who's your parents?"

"Oh, someone named Lea and Aqua." She smiled.

"Oh, cool." Lea chuckled. "…Wait a minute… that's my name!"

"Hey dad."

"…WHAAAAT?!" Lea yelled.

"Oh look, you found a girl!" Sora teased.

"And she liiiiiked you!" Happy teased.

"Real mature, guys." Xion sighed.

"Congratulations, Lea!" Roxas grinned.

"Huh… I've no idea what to say about this…" Lea said. "So, you do anything fun besides ruling Sarasaland?"

"While I do have a fascination for pyrotechnics, I'm not much of a pyromaniac." She said. "However, I'm a blacksmith."

"Ah, so you make weapons?"

"Yeah. Hell, there was one day where you visited me and I gave you new and improved chakrams. They were a lot sharper too."

"Oh ho ho! I'm liking you already!" Lea smirked.

"Look at them… already bonding!" Kai smiled.

"Yeah…" Xion quietly said. "Kai… what am I to you?"

"Huh?"

"You said that you were queen of the Waffle Kingdom… but you lied… you came from some universe where you actually rule over the Mushroom Kingdom. Why would you do that?"

"I… I wasn't sure how well you'd take the truth that I'm not from here… I felt that you'd freak out if I said I came from a different universe… or… I don't really know…"

"Was it just to protect me?"

"What? No, that wasn't even on my mind!" Kai said.

"Then what is it?!"

"I think it's because she wanted to keep it a secret." Riku said. "Though, it really wasn't much of a secret to some of us. However, you guys weren't with us during that incident with our paper selves. I think she was just trying to make sure you didn't know about a different universe and kept it a secret. …I think."

"Maybe…" Xion quietly said and then thought about something. "When we met on the Station Tower… you said something while your Cirno and Toadette said something else. They said Xion… but I heard something else from you. I believe you said 'mom'."

"…That's right." Kai nodded.

"So I'm your mother who is not really your mother in this universe…" Xion whispered. "…I'm gonna need a moment." She said and walked ahead a little fast, seeming a bit hurt.

"Wait!" Kai went over to stop her, but Lea stopped her.

"Let her go. She just needs some time." He said. "Personally, I don't blame you for trying to hide the fact that you came from a different universe but… I bet you know that she doesn't really like lying."

Kai sighed. "I'm an idiot…"

"I wouldn't say that." Lea said. "Who knows, maybe you two will become quite the team later on in this place."

"Hopefully…" She whispered as they went onward… and then they soon found themselves in another place where they saw a lot of KO'd Smashers and Peek-a-Boos as they looked on to see Xion letting her frustrations out on the Rabbids.

"Bwah…" Rabbid Lucy said.

"Huh… I've never really seen her so frustrated." Roxas said.

Vito looked to Kai. "You feeling alright?"

"Not really…" She sighed as Xion finished up and then turned to them, specifically at Kai as she still had a hurt look on her face before walking off.

"Hmm, I bet apologizing to her would work." Peach said. "Just give her some time though."

"Indeed." Ryoma nodded.

"Yeah…" Kai sighed as they kept going… until they spotted the other Relic of Goodness.

"Oh, look at this!" Beep-0 said excitedly.

"…It's a Boo Balloon." Wriggle said the obvious.

"It's not just a Boo Balloon, it's another Relic of Goodness! See the pedestal that it's floating above?" Beep-0 asked.

"Hmm, you're right." Miko nodded as Beep-0 pulled it above his head.

"And we can get back to the main center via a shortcut!" Beep-0 said. "Now, let's go!" He said as he took off… in the wrong direction.

"Uh, Beep-0? The short cut's over there." Yoshiko called out to him as Beep-0 came back in a pinkish color.

"Right… I knew that!" He said as he went off as the others followed.

"So, bro… since we've got time to kill…" Anastasia said.

"Oh, right." Marco cleared his throat. "You see, I've gained an interest in poison."

"Yeah… I can see that." Anastasia said. "But why poison, of all things?"

"Well… it all started when you and your rag tag group of friends kept going on adventures and I felt just like a normal guy. You got electricity, Yoshiko has fire, Xinah has her Halo Weapons plus her strength, Katie's got ice, Elizabeth has lasers from that Power Glove of hers… then there's me… just a nobody. Y'all kept going on adventures and I just stayed in the castle doing nothing. One day, you inspired me to go on an adventure on my own."

"Oh, this oughta be good." Anastasia chuckled.

Flashback!

BGM: Lost Woods (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

"Hmph, I'll just have fun on my own." He mumbled to himself as he was walking through a forest. "Oh look at me, I'm a rebellious princess that rebelled against the entire kingdom and my whole family! Hmph! She gets all the fun on going everywhere while I'm just an ordinary prince with nothing to do…" He muttered. "I'll show her that I'm not boring… I'll take my own adventure!" He said.

He then looked around. "Okay… I've been to this forest a bunch of times, but I don't recognize this part." He said and then grinned. "Time for some fun!" He said and started to explore the area, not realizing that a few Putrid Piranha Plants were looking at him. "Huh…?" He turned… only to see nothing. "Eh, probably just my imagination."

It was then at a few minutes had gone by and he saw a sign up ahead as he went over to investigate the sign. "Danger – Poisonous Swamp. Touching this will kill you."

"Oh… so this is the infamous poison water I've heard so much about." He said as he went over to the edge and looked over at it. "Doesn't look very poisonous, but I'm not gonna risk it." He said. "Alright, found a landmark… now just need to find my way back… wherever it is."

It was at this moment that as he started walking, the Putrid Piranha Plants emerged from the ground and right in front of him. "WHOA! Hey! Easy…" He said, backing up as the Piranha Plants tried to bite him but he jumped back, narrowly almost falling into the swamp. "Wah!" He said, quickly regaining his balance as he found a stick and grabbed it, aiming at the three.

"Stand back, I'm warning you!" He said as they looked at each other and smirked as they pointed at him and laughed while one of them sunk back into the ground as if to humor him. "At least one of you got the picture." He said. "Now for the rest of you… you better go away!" He ordered… and then the Putrid Piranha Plant emerged from behind him… and sunk his teeth into his leg. "GAAAAAAAAAH!" He screamed as the Putrid Piranha Plant went back to his brothers… and since the poison was already in his blood, he immediately felt weak… and was about to fall into the poison swamp where he heard a faint voice.

"Nihilego… Power Gem!"

End BGM

Everything went dark around him… before he felt something on his forehead as he came to… seeing that he was still in the forest and saw that a washcloth was on his forehead. "Huh…?"

"Oh good, you're awake." A soft gentle voice said as he turned to see a woman with silver hair that was to her shoulders and in a ponytail, she was wearing a silver dress that was cut and showing off her shoulders and arms, but the dress itself went down to her calves and showed off her silver high heels, and she had soft blue eyes, silver eye shadow and silver lipstick on her soft lips and to top it all off… she had wings.

BGM: Zelda's Lullaby (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword)

"Who… who are you?" He asked. "Are you my guardian angel?"

The girl giggled. "I guess you can say that… but no. We were just passing through when we heard you screaming in agony." She said.

"We?"

It was then that he heard a cry that he looked to his left to see a Jellyfish-like Pokemon looking at him. "Whoa!"

"Don't be afraid. He's just saying hi." She said and looked at him with a soft smile. "Who are you?"

"I'm Marco Mario, prince of the Mushroom Kingdom."

"Oh…! So you're Kai's son."

"…How do you know that?"

"I'm good friends with her." She said, still in a soft and gentle voice. "My name is Rose."

"Rose… that sounds like the name of a beautiful goddess…"

She giggled. "That's because I am." She said. "Though, I'm still human."

"…How can you be human and a goddess at the same time?"

"It's a long story." She said. "I'm a human-goddess, if you will… though recently, I've been acting more like a goddess every day. I think it had something to do with living in Skyworld for the past few months." She said before shrugging. "Oh well, what can you do?"

"…So uh… you're a kind goddess since… well, you're fixing my wound up." He said.

"Yes, it's because I'm a healing goddess." She said, as Marco noticed a soft green aura surrounding her hand as she was pressing it on his leg. "A Goddess of Healing, if you will."

"I see…"

"I'm also here because I'm also working on my immunity to poison."

Marco raised an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes… and it's all because of my fascination towards Nihilego." She said, referring to the Pokemon. "Once it's tentacles touch you, it's neurotoxins will affect you. Strangely, I've had him touching my body for the past several years before I moved away from-" She stopped herself, seeming a bit sad before looking back at him. "Never mind… but every time I hugged him, I felt something different and before I could examine it, a bunch of doctors quickly put an antidote inside of me so I wouldn't succumb to the neurotoxins."

"Better safe than sorry?"

"I suppose… their hearts were in the right place, but I wish they weren't immediately responsive." She said. "I did feel something every time I touched it… but I couldn't examine what it was. It wasn't until that after I got out of my funk was when I fully examined myself after touching Nihilego for a long time."

"Your funk?"

"Let's just say I moved away from home after my eighteenth birthday. It was hard on me… and my mother. It took me a week to get out of my funk… but my mother seems to still be struggling with it." She sighed.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't be…" She then looked at Nihilego. "What I felt when I touched him… I felt… different. I felt like… I don't know how to describe it, but it felt as if… something was enhanced. And yet, I'm still here after not being treated for the Neurotoxins, but I'm still trying to figure out what was enhanced. But ever since then… I've been busy healing humans out of love, because no one should suffer for a long time."

"…Love."

"Huh?"

"You said you were enhanced by something, and the way you're saying that you go and heal anyone makes me wonder… that the human side of you knows what they're going through. Pain, suffering, anything. You're healing them because you went through the same thing they're going through. Wounds, broken hearts… anything. You love them all, don't you?"

"Yes." Rose nodded before it hit her. "…Enhanced my love for everyone…" She whispered. "I do remember my brother saying that my love is my strongest attribute…" She quietly said and then smiled. "Well… that's good to know." She said.

"So… pardon me for changing the subject, but what'd you say you were doing here again? Something about immunity to toxins?"

"Oh, right… when I'm not busy healing people, I'm usually in my own home… I even have a room where I conduct my own experiments on any type of poison in this universe. Simple things like Poison Ivy, Oak… and into the more deadly substances. I always have an antidote on me when I'm exposed to those poisons… and then I go back into it after a few minutes after injecting the antidote in me."

Marco's eyes widened. "So you're actually building up an immunity towards them!"

"Exactly." She nodded. "Best case scenario, it takes a few hours. Worst case, a few days or weeks. Anyway, I've heard how deadly the poison water is in the Mushroom Kingdom… and I want to build an immunity to it." She said and gave him the antidote. "Inject me with this as soon as I'm touching it."

"Are you crazy?"

"Just a little bit." Rose said, winking at him and then looked over the poison… and with a deep breath, she dipped her hand into the poison… and immediately, Marco could see the poison affecting Rose, as she was having an intense, pained and sickly look on her face… in fact, her breath was quickening.

"Woman, you're insane!" Marco said, pulling her back and then injecting her neck with the needle, to which she gasped for air and then coughed.

"I… I didn't say it was a walk in the park…" She said. "Normally, I have Nihilego injecting me with the poison in case if I'm too weak to do it… or my sister…" She said as she snapped out of it. "Hit me with it again. I'm not giving up."

"Rose… don't push yourself on this."

"I won't." She said as she dipped her hand in it again, desperately trying to pull a brave face and started to moan in agonizing sickness and pulled it out as Marco injected her again… but Nihilego brought a random bucket out and then Rose put her face in it, just letting it all out while Nihilego patted her back.

"…Poison…" Marco whispered, thinking about how his sister and her friends have crazily awesome powers and he didn't… and then it hit him. What if he could use poison? What if he could fight with poison? He called himself crazy… but not as crazy as the stories he's heard from Xinah.

"Hey Rose… I want to ask you something."

"Nnngh… wh-what is it…?" She asked, gasping for air.

"Teach me how to be immune to poison. I want to control it… I want to use it."

"Wh-… what are you talking about?" She asked as Nihilego squirted water on her face.

"I want to be just like my sister and her friends. They have powers… I don't. I want to be just like them."

"…Kid… you have got to be the craziest guy I've ever met…"

"Says the goddess who's dipping her hand in the poison swamp."

"…You got me there. Alright… just give me a few minutes and I'll help you build an immunity of your own…" She said as she fell on her back. "Ugh… i've underestimated how strong this poison is…"

A few weeks have passed since the two met and the two worked on the immunity of poison together, including taking a dip in the poison swamp. Luckily, Nihilego had their backs and injected two antidotes in for each other.

And then…

"Alright… test number… I lost track at this point." Rose said, taking a deep breath and dipped her whole arm into the water. To her amazement… she didn't feel sick at all. "Wait a minute…" She said as she pulled it out and then dove right on in, some of it splashing on Marco's cheek as he brushed it off.

"Well, what do you know…" Marco said as he watched Rose emerge from the water as she got out, shaking it off.

"I call this a success!" She said, high fiving Nihilego.

"You were getting less and less sick over it overtime." Marco pointed out.

"I know, but still…" Rose looked in it. "I never thought I'd actually do it."

"Hmm, I wonder if I can become a Poison Bender…"

"I doubt you will… but since you've taken an interest in poison, I suggest you go to a good friend of everyone. Ever heard of Worldwal-"

"Yeah, I've heard of him."

"Oh… sorry." She blushed. "Anyway, he might have an idea on what works best for you."

"Yeah." He nodded. "So… I guess this is where we go different paths then?"

"Afraid so." She nodded.

"I just… want to ask you something." He said. "Are you… like… you know… seeing anyone… or are you single? Because, I'm just gonna come out and say it, I've kinda developed a crush on you because you're so beautiful and-"

Rose giggled. "You're very sweet… but I'm already seeing someone." She said, raising up her hand as Marco's eyes widened in horror.

"You're… you're married?!"

"Yup."

"O-Oh…"

Rose smiled at him. "If it helps… I'm out of your league too. I mean, you're like barely a teenager and even though I'm 18, I'm a Goddess and I'm immortal… it wouldn't work out anyway."

"So… you can't die?"

"I dunno… I felt like I was gonna die for the past few weeks. I don't think I'm immune from death… actually, I'm not immune from death, but I am immune to death by aging."

"…That's not helping! I had a crush on you…"

Rose looked at him with a caring look on her face. "If it helps, a lot of humans said the same thing to me as I was healing them." She said and then ruffled up his hair. "I'm used to it, don't worry."

"Oh…"

She smiled. "You're very sweet, Marco. Maybe one day you'll get a girl that looks like a goddess but she isn't." She said with a wink. "Take care." She said and hugged him. "Oh… and tell your parents I said hi… and your sister too."

"Right…" He nodded, hugging her as the two parted… and then he ran back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

"Cute kid." She smiled.

End Flashback…

"And after I met Rose, I went to Worldwalker's house with the help of Rosalina guiding me there and he tricked out this glove for me. Sharp poisonous claws, I can shoot out poison darts or needles out of this thing, anything and the kitchen sink, really. Then when I was done, I was going to come tell you guys but you came to this universe!"

"Sorry…" Anastasia said. "To think that actually happened for the past few weeks." She said and then snickered. "Although… you fell in love with a Goddess that was actually married!" She said and started laughing. "Oh, that's so hilarious!"

"Not funny, sis!"

"I was wondering how Rose was doing…" Kai mused. "She seems to be doing rather well."

"You had a crush on someone who was married…" Subaki said. "Ouch."

"If that happened to me, I'd be depressed for a few days, but you marched on!" Inigo said. "I'm proud."

"…A few days? How about a few weeks?" Severa asked.

"Nah, I'm thinking a few months." Peri said.

"Oh, that'll work too."

"That's enough from the peanut gallery…" Inigo grumbled.

"And I thought my luck was terrible." Arthur said.

"There's no shame in crying over something like that! At least you asked! That's what a real man would do!" Elfman said.

"…And suddenly, this group turned into a bunch of guys supporting one another over something so awkward…" Maria sweatdropped.

"Speaking of guys… how come you came alone?" Kai asked.

"Paolo went fishing with the boys and Peashy went to hang out with Neptune for a few days."

"Huh? But Antonio and Fabio hate fishing." Kai said.

"Exactly."

Kai paused for a minute before it hit her. "Oh no… don't tell me they-"

"Oh yeah, they did it again." She sighed. "No matter how many times I scold them for it, they just won't listen! They won't listen to my husband, they won't listen to my servants, they won't even listen to Peashy… they won't listen no matter what!"

"What's the problem?" Yoshiko asked.

"My two sons are being perverts… they decided to peek into the ladies hot spring, and so Paolo decided to take them fishing and try to change their minds. If that won't work, I don't know what will."

"Hmm… perhaps Anastasia and I can knock some sense into them!" Yoshiko grinned.

"Ugh… can you? I'd appreciate that." She said. "Anytime you find an opening in your grand adventures, I'll be waiting."

"Can do!" She smiled as Anastasia nodded.

"Oh good, I get to shock the hell out of my cousins. Count me in!" She smirked as they went a little further until they put the Relic of Goodness where it was.

"And… voila! The gate should now be open!" Beep-0 said… but nothing happened. "…I said Voila!"

"Maybe it's a delayed reaction!" Happy said.

"Don't be ridiculous!" Beep-0 said… and then a gate opened, but it was the wrong one. "Oh… HELL… that's the wrong one! WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE WRONG FUCKING ONE?!"

It was at this point that he got an email. "Oh goody! Maybe this will clear things up!" He said and started to read it. "Dorks, you're probably feeling really discouraged right now, not that I blame you. I'd be discouraged if I were you, too. The Moon Gate can't be opened unless there's a full moon (Duh). Too bad it's gone already. Lucky for you, I know a way to get it to come back! Just take the totally non-spooky path leading from the gate that just opened and everything will work out just fine and you won't be killed. I promise."

"…Killed?!" Luigi paled.

"Welp, nice knowing you, Luigi! Hahahaha!" King Boo cackled.

"Something tells me your admirer is trying to be funny." Gray said.

Or hacked. Kai and Maria thought.

"I dunno, there's something off about that last message. I can't quite figure out why…" Beep-0 said. "Oh well! Onward!"

"Let's go." Lucina said as they took off… but as they did, they heard something that caught their attention as they turned to the well… and saw a Rabbid wearing a Yoshi costume, Rabbid Yoshi.

"Bwah bah!" Rabbid Yoshi waved.

"Oh hey, Rabbid Yoshi!" Wendy smiled.

"What are you doing in that well?" Natsu asked… and then Rabbid Yoshi pulled down and out came a Rabbid in a casket and holding Rabbid Yoshi hostage.

Calavera – Shade Behind the Shield!

"Well, this oughta be easy." Kairi said… and then right on cue, several Heartless appeared to aid them, and then Guard Armor landed on the ground. "…Or not."

"Well, this oughta be fun though!" Sora said.

Wario sniffed the air. "I smell something… I smell… my money!" He said and turned to the left where he saw two girls flying up to them.

"Oh, I was wondering what all the commotion was." The first said, as she has orange eyes and long light-brown hair in the shape of two curly drills with red ribbons tied in them. Her clothing consists of a purple wide-sleeved coat with a rose motif, a short light-pink dress with a red ribbon under it held by a black belt, brown boots, round sunglasses, and a mini top hat. She also carries a golden purse and sports a great variety of expensive-looking accessories like golden rings, a golden necklace, golden earrings, and golden bracelets, most of which also has gems in it. "And oh look, it's the pudgy fat man that we stole from! I guess we can steal more from her, right Shion?"

"I suppose, Joon…" The second girl, Shion, quietly spoke and seemed to be in a bit of a funk. She has blue eyes, and dark blue hair that flows as if it were a flame with a ribbon on top. She wears a gray short sleeved hoodie and a blue skirt. All her clothes are randomly decorated with what appears to bills depicting debt and eviction notices. On both her wrists there are golden bracelets. She is also seen carrying a small broken beggar's cup and a small, patched up doll of what appears to be a cat. She is completely barefoot. One of her legs appears to be surrounded by a blue spirit-like flame.

"Well, I suppose we can have some fun with the fat man while passing through." Joon grinned. "After all, he can't even lift his butt off the ground!"

"I'll make you eat those words!" Wario said.

"We'll do it together, Wario!" Waluigi said.

Well, this oughta be entertaining. Kai thought.

"…You guys sure you can handle it?" Yukari asked.

"We can handle it just fine!" Wario said, pulling out a piece of garlic and eating it, transforming into Wario Man as Waluigi saw a ? block nearby and went to hit it, absorbing a Fire Flower and his shirt and hat went white and then rejoined Wario.

"Waluigi time!"

"Ha! This is gonna be a pathetic fight!" Joon smirked… and then suddenly, the two fell to the ground. "OOOF!"

There… make things a bit more interesting. Yukari smirked and then turned to Calavera.

"Why can't I fly?! Argh… that stupid gap hag!" Joon growled.

"…I suppose we don't have any choice…" Shion said.

"Just don't get in my way, sis!"

Is it me… or does Shion sound a bit… depressed with Joon? Lucy wondered.

"Let's-a go, bro!" Wario smirked. "For our money!"

Joon did a 'come at me' pose. "Just try it!"

BGM: Mid-boss Mayhem (Mario and Rabbids: Kingdom Battle)

Wario ran over to Joon and punched her, but she jumped to the side and whacked him a few times with her purse until he grabbed it and yanked it out of her, then proceeded to beat her with it, sending coins everywhere as he did.

"You pudgy bastard…!" Joon glared and then fired danmaku at him to which he dodged as he summoned his Motorbike and tried to run her over, but she jumped away in time.

"Super Poverty Bomb!"

Wario made a sharp turn to avoid it, as a few Soldier Heartless were caught in the explosion as Wario did a wheelie and jumped off, punching Joon a few times until he punched her straight to the wall.

"Mischance Scatter…" Shion said, unleashing bullethell on Waluigi, to which he gracefully avoided it and lobbed fireballs at her direction as he jumped up in the air and kicked her… and then whacked her away with his own tennis racket.

"Eat this!" Joon yelled, firing danmaku at him but he avoided and took one look at her purse… and then he picked it up and swallowed it whole. "What the… HEY! THAT'S MY PURSE! GIVE IT BACK!"

"Gladly!" Wario smirked… and proceeded to fire coins out of his mouth like a machine gun, pelting her with it.

"OW OW OW OW OW OOOOOW!" Joon screamed and hid behind cover to avoid being hit by her precious money as she tried to throw them back at him, but to no avail.

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Wario laughed and then Shion came behind Wario.

"The Most Despicable and Disastrous Go-" Waluigi interrupted her by pounding her into the ground and smacked her to a wall.

"Shion!" Joon exclaimed, reaching for her… and her hand got pelted by coins. "Gah!" She winced and then growled. "Alright… you asked for it!" She said as she emerged from cover to attack him and endure the coin peltage… but he wasn't there. "Huh?"

"Yoohoooo!" Wario said as Joon looked up to see Wario coming down on her. "BUTT SMASH!" He yelled, flattening her before punching her to a wall.

"You used your butt on me?! That's undignified!"

"Lady, I can use my butt in more ways than one." Wario smirked. "Now, you can either give up quietly or give up loudly."

"Give up loudly? That doesn't make sense!"

"Lady, have you met me?"

"Grr… hey Shion! Let's show these two how it's done!" She said… only for Waluigi to whack Shion over to the group who were busy dealing with Calavera and the Heartless. "Ugh fine… you're useless anyway!"

"Let's finish this up!" Wario smirked.

"I don't think so!" Joon said as she ran toward him, but Waluigi got in the way and smacked her away to near the fountain… and then proceeded to bury her by stomping on the ground repeatedly. "Ow! OW OOOOOOOW!"

"Bro! Get a fireball ready!" Wario said as he turned around, bent over and aimed directly at Joon's direction as Waluigi smirked at this, charging up a fireball.

"Nnngh… mmmph!" Joon tried to get out but couldn't, as Lector turned to see what Wario is doing.

"Uh… what the heck is Wario doing?" Lector asked.

"Uh, by the looks of it… he's aiming his butt at that Joon girl." Sting said.

"Aiming his-" Mario's eyes widened, realizing what Wario was about to do. "RUN! NOW!" He yelled. "HE'S ABOUT TO BLOW!"

"YIPE!" Luigi yelled as everyone took off, as even the Heartless were afraid of what Wario was about to do, and even the Guard Armor was dragging Shion away for safety… while Calavera was clueless. All he cared about was the fact that his opponents were chickening out and making fun of them, while the Defender Heartless readied their shields and protected them all… just in case.

"FIRE!" Waluigi yelled, firing a huge fireball in Wario's direction.

"Have a rotten day!" Wario cackled… and let it rip as Joon's eyes could only look on in horror while she was struggling.

Nearby…

"Oh, I hope Gray's alright…" Juvia hoped.

BOOM!

"What the…?!" Lissa yelled and then they turned to see a huge mushroom cloud. "What just happened?!"

"…I have a theory…" Rosalina said. "Let's go around it."

"Right." Lissa nodded and then took off.

End BGM

With the others…

"I'm just glad you warned us!" Pit said, peeking out of a bush… while the Defender Heartless had unfortunately perished from the blast.

"So uh… who's going in there?" Chrom asked as they all looked at each other… and then looked at the Heartless who panicked and quickly flailed their arms about while shaking their head no. Even Guard Armor was afraid of going in there. "Well, one of us has to do it!"

"…Oh, for the love of…" Levy grumbled. "Solid script: Gas masks!" She said, making gas masks for the Heartless. "There, happy?"

A Shadow put it on, as it fit perfectly for its size and went on into the blast zone as the others followed… and before they could even say anything, they heard maniacal laughter, followed by gunshots… and then a Rabbid emerged from the smelly air, as it was none other than Rabbid Yoshi, surprisingly unfazed by the stench.

"Bwah bah bah daaaah!" Rabbid Yoshi said.

"…How and why…?" Beep-0 wondered.

"I don't know… and I don't want to know." Robin said.

"I may be sadistic, but I'm not gonna wish it upon my worst enemies." Tharja said.

"Agreed! That's just too much, even for me!" Azama said.

"...Wait, what?" Hinoka asked in surprise… and then Wario and Waluigi emerged, as Wario was back to himself.

"Well, that was fun!" Wario said, having a few bags of money on him. "And I got my cash back AND I robbed her! Life's fair!" He laughed. "Phew… I wouldn't go in there though."

"That has got to be the most undignified way to go…" Ryoma said, shuddering at the thought.

"I'd rather die from something less humiliating." Marisa said.

"Hey, what the heck is going on here?!" A voice asked as they turned to see Rosalina and her group.

"GRAAAAAY!" Juvia yelled, tackling him to the ground.

"OOOOF!"

"Bro!" Lissa quickly hugged Chrom.

Yoshiko giggled. "Hi aunt Rosie!"

"AUNT Rosie?!" Everyone minus the ones from the other universe exclaimed in shock.

"Aunt… Rosie?" Rosalina blinked. "Okay, who are you and why do you look familiar?"

One explanation later…

Rosalina smiled. "Oh, well… nice to see you too." She said.

"Well, if it isn't Erza!" Natsu grinned. "…Why is she sleeping though?"

"No idea." Rosalina said.

"Bwah dah dah!" Rabbid Erza said, pulling out strawberry shortcake and then climbed up on Rosalina's body and put it close to Erza's nose.

"Mmm… strawberry shortcake…" Erza said as she snapped awake. "Are you gonna eat that?" She asked before taking it and eating it.

"Aww… I wanted some." Yuyuko complained… and then Rabbid Erza brought out cake for everyone. "Oh, yay!" She smiled and happily ate some with Effie… while Kirby sucked up everyone else's.

"Poyo!" Kirby smiled.

"The stench made me lose my appetite anyway." Cana said.

"…So, what's going on here?" Erza asked and then got the full run-down. "Uh-huh, I see… welcome to our universe then." She said and then spotted Jellal, making her blush a deep red. "J-Jellal…?!"

"Yo." He greeted.

"Heartbreeeeak~!" Happy teased.

"Don't make me kick you into that stench cloud!" Erza threatened.

"So… what do we do with her?" Mokou asked, referring to the KO'd Shion.

"Take her with us. We're not just gonna stand here and wait for her to recover." Erza said, putting Shion over her shoulder. "Let's go." She said as they walked off together... while in the stench cloud, Joon was groaning in agony, unaware of being spotted by Ridley and Maleficent, who were far away from said cloud.

"Hmm… intriguing…" She mused.

Meanwhile, with Reimu and Cirno…

"Ow… ow…" Cirno woke up, rubbing her head. "I'm gonna feel that for a few days…" She said and then saw Reimu in a fetal position. "Reimu?" She walked over to her. "Helloooooo?"

"…Leave me alone…" Reimu quietly said, tears running down her cheeks.

Cirno sighed. "Well… might as well go after that emo Peach."

"Don't… it'll just make things worse… like I did…"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

"Shut up… just… be quiet…!" Reimu said, getting up and ran off in the opposite direction, tears running down her cheeks.

"Reimu, wait! What's going on with you? Reimu!" Cirno said, flying after her, seeming to be really concerned about her.

"They'll be better off without me!"

"They? What do you mean by that? Get back here!" Cirno said, not knowing the conversation she had with Marisa. "REIMU!"

But unfortunately… Reimu wouldn't say anything.

SO! How about that Nintendo Direct yesterday?

For those of you who didn't see it, i'd advise you to so right now. (Spoilers beware!)

SMASH! FREAKING! FIVE! With Breath of the Wild Link and Mario AND we got Inklings as newcomers! (And there's other silhouettes too!) AND it's coming out THIS. YEAR.

Oh, right, there's things like Okami HD, Crash Bandicoot, Luigi's Mansion port on the 3DS, Bowser's Inside Story remake, playable Octolings in Splatoon 2, more news on Mario Tennis Aces (With a Chain Chomp as a playable character, of all things)

But honestly, all of that was overshadowed by Smash Bros!
