Yep, this be one of them loooooong fanfics, like I Promised by Just Call Me J. I love it, dude, and if you read this, I hope you like this as well. I have nothing else to say except I hope you're enjoying school :D

The Koopalings, Junior, Mario character, places, and items belongs to Nintendo.
Melody, Felica, The Spirits of Discord, and CJ belongs to me. Enjoy and I hope you like sandwiches.
Everybody gasped in shock as Felica held up the picture. They were now outside the pipe that would take them to the Icelands, where Kyloyn supposedly were waiting for them. But they had to wait until they were sure Melody was able to move again.
She was stiff as a board, her eyes closed and her breathing shallow. Her hair was up in many places; Wendy's effort in brushing it down had failed. Roy wouldn't let anybody touch her; snarling if anyone did, until Felica stepped up. "I was in medical training when I babysat." She explained, and Roy stepped aside. He sat at her side while the human-cat checked her out.
Ludwig searched through the book while Lemmy balanced on his ball; Iggy attempted to call his girlfriend (if his phone plan even went that far.) and Larry was playing around with the key while Morton kicked some rocks (which landed in Ludwig's hair; but he didn't notice. For now.)
Meanwhile, Felica had finished checking out Melody and waited for everyone to stop, before continuing.
"I have reached a verdict. Melody's been paralyzed by the lightning bolt." She broke.
"But how does that even work? Is it like Pikachu's Static ability?" Larry asked, using his prior knowledge from watching Pokémon. Felica nodded and sat on a giant piece of rubble.
"Each of the Spirits of Discord have one special ability, that they can do forever. Crevincie can put people in a state of paralysis and they will die 4 hours receiving the shock. It can actually be reversed by a Volt Shroom, found in Flopside."
"You mean ze land of zhe ancients?" came an accented voice.
Felica again nodded and sat down, opening a book and holding up a red striped pipe. "This will take you guys there. Go to the blue pipe beside Merlee's and go down. You go to Notso's, the one with the mushroom on the sign at the right and buy it, before anyone else does. Melody is counting on you. Who's going?"
Lemmy raised his hand. "I'll go. And so will Junior and Larry. Roy, Ludwig, Morton, and Wendy will watch CJ and Melody." He averted his glance to the dizzy ghost. "And we'll go to Saffron's with our rations and make some food."
Everyone left their mouths opened. Nobody knew that their derpy brother could be so...Ludwig. Felica smiled and gave him the pipe.
"As Erin would say, and I quote, 'I salute you!'" Felica saluted as the chosen people hopped in the pipe and went over to the ancient land. Meanwhile, someone was watching them with interest.
"Strong in numbers; but weak when separated. Mhm...Interesting."
***Flopside***
Lemmy POV
I can't believe this. What a beautiful sight. The black marble columns; all the stores lined up, one for bugs too! All the strange people walking around with rectangles for heads. Now, we have to look for a store called Notso.
"Where is it?" I asked my brothers, who were looking around.
"Maybe we should ask?" Junior suggested quietly. I liked him; he's a great artist and he should get a job as that! I walked up to one of the citizens and asked, "Do you know where Notso's is?"
The girl had her purple hair tied up with a yellow scruchie and her body was split in the following order: dark blue, pink, and orange. "Sure! It's right beside me! And Dyllis makes the best food! You should go see her on the first floor when you're done!"
"Thanks!" I said optimistically as we walked pass her. "You're welcome! And the name's Lucy!" The girl called back. "She was nice." I randomly commented.
Larry stared at me intently."This is no time for laughs, Lemmy. Melody could die if we don't get this Volt Shroom from Notso before anyone else. Let's go." He knocked me aside and Junior did as well. Maybe it was just all the stress about Roy's girlfriend dying a slow death. I would feel like that too if it was Felica.
We walked over to the store and a blue man with glasses and purple clothes and matching hat said to us, "Not so bad a day to you!" We walked up to him and he gave us the grand tour.
"How's life going, not so bad is it? You need anything, I'm your person. You can get shopping points, and for every buy, you get shopping points and those shopping points can get redeemed for other prizes. Now, what do you need, not so bad folk?"
Larry put a bag of coins in his hands. "We need a Volt Shroom. I think it's 80 coins," he poured the correct amount in his hands and gave it to Notso. "That's brings you up to 1 shopping point. Anything else."
Larry got a smirk on his face. I had a bad feeling about this.
***Outside Saffron's bakery***
"Seriously, Larry?" Junior asked his older brother as he carried Shroom Shakes and many other things in his hands. "What, we need this for Dyliss. I heard she can make steaks."
Junior scoffed. "At least we got a cake mix for Saffron to make a cake." You see, after Larry brought the Shroom Shakes and the other various items, they went back to Flipside to make the food for everyone, including Melody some Spicy Soup to wake her up. When they went to her shop (after asking where it was.) Saffron greeted them.
Saffron was a sweet Flip Flop Folk with an apron tied around her pink dress and her yellow hair tied up in a large bun. "Why, hello sugars! What do you need?"
Larry put the assorted items on the tabletop. "You think you can make these items? Some of them were already made from other places." The chef nodded and put the items at her kitchen.
"Of course I will!" She started opening and pouring the Shroom Shakes in her pots. "Just sit tight! This won't take long!"
Larry nodded and sat next to Junior, who was painting the counter. "You think Lemmy gave the Volt Shroom?" Since the two of them thought that this would take too long and with Melody's life on the line, they sent Lemmy back to the 3D world to give Melody it so that she wouldn't die. Junior and Larry were somewhat regretting this.
Junior shrugged. "I don't know. He probably did, since he was thinking about what would happen to Roy's life." Roy would be crushed if she died, Larry thought. And who take care of her little sister, Claire? King Grambi?
King Grambi and Queen Jaydes were Melody and her sister's "classified" guardians (although Luvbi never agreed to this.) Melody was Roy's life; in fact his very essence of his soul. If she died and went to the Underwhere...Roy would never forgive himself.
Yet, who knew that? Larry did; since he saw Roy wrote an emotional letter to her. Finally, he heard a ding and great-smelling dishes were in front of him.
"There you go, sugar!" Saffron was completely drenched with sweat, but she was smiling.
"Thank you." Larry and Junior picked up the plates of food and went out the door. Saffron watched them exit, a purple glint in her eyes.
"Oh, but did you leave a tip?"
Melody blew on her Spicy Soup before slurping it down quickly. Everybody was eating the food that Larry and Junior brought from Saffron's. And believe me, it was goooooooood!
"Thith is good!" Morton said through an open mouth as he bit into a Shroom Steak(from Dyliss. She was like a Ludwig.) "Morton! Close your mouth!" Wendy scooted when some food particles flew by her, obviously from Morton.
Felica nodded. "So what are gonna do after we're done?" She asked.
"Go to zhe Icelands and stop Kyloyn and get zhat item. By the way, Morton," Ludwig asked his brother. "Do you have Mozher's item?"
"Uh..."
Ludwig facepalmed. "Seriously, Morton! You vent for the key and your vand instead of Mozher's item? Zhat vould've helped us somehow. You are an incomplete koopa vith a valnut for a brain-" He stopped when he saw CJ, still dizzy from the possession, held something in her hand.
"Look what I found," she slurred the words. The item in her hand was a piece of a broken shell. It glowed a golden sheen. Mother, Ludwig said as he grabbed the item and hugged CJ (with her kind, it was possible for people to touch them)
"What are we gonna do now?" The ghost asked Ludwig.
"Ve're going to vait for you to stop spinning, and then it's off to zhe Icelands!" Everyone cheered happily as the two items: the spider web and the broken piece shown in the evening light; a bright beacon of hope.
***Kyloyn's Palace***
Lukase was so bored out of his mind. Instead of crashing at his place in the Jungle, he was watching his younger brother, Crevincie, going circles around him. Literary; he was skating around him in circles.
"Why is it so cold in here?" He moaned, draping himself on Kyloyn's couch. The living room was almost entirely made of ice; from the chandelier which glimmered to the floor (which he would have to skate across to get to the fireplace.)
Everyone present was in their true forms: wearing parkas to keep themselves warm by Auburne. Each of them were wearing the same thing: parkas in their hair color and pants. They looked like dogs. Lukase however was unfortuanely dressed up for his world: khaki shorts, short-sleeved shirt and a safari hat.
"Crevincie, can you stop skating?" Lukase said, his younger brother stopping. "Did I do something wrong?" Crevincie's eyes shone.
"No, the way you're going around me in circles is making me nauseous," It was true. Lukase had watched him and was trying hard not to throw up on the floor. Meanwhile, Dimioria was playing with some sort of rope, making various webs with her fingers.
She did it with excellent skill and swiftness. Dimioria smiled when she made a face of someone she loved, but she kept it secret. Carefully, she unraveled it, not ruining it and making the face of someone she hated with her life.
Of course, she would hate someone. She herself was Envy, deadly jealously that drove people to murder and many more things. The person she hated was someone who would be a hero in the future...yet Dimioria knew she would be...
A door shut and Kyloyn sat down. She was wearing a blue dress and her hair was tightly pulled up in a ponytail, decorated with snowflakes. "Sheesh, is it legal to wear that much make-up?" Lukase asked.
Kyloyn huffed and crossed her legs. "Here's the plan, but first," she smirked. "Lukase, you're looking a little green, aren't you?" The blue-haired spirit shut his eyes and nodded.
"Perhaps you want some..chips?" Lukase ran out of the room as soon as he heard the word. "Make sure you use the first floor bathroom!" Kyloyn yelled after him.
"Now for the plan..." She motioned everybody to come in and started whispering what Hermione wanted. When they were finally finished, Kyloyn spoke. "Now, get out there and stop those heroes!"
Everyone nodded and Kyloyn said, "Fill up Lukase with the plan."
Now for some fun facts about the Spirits of Discord!
Fact #1: Lukase can get motion sickness, which Kyloyn takes as a weakness.
Fact #2: If you didn't notice from the last chapter, Crevincie has wings, but he doesn't show them that much. How did he get them? Red Bull. Because Red Bull gives you wings.
Fact #3: Dimioria does have a "boyfriend" and that's a Gravity Falls villain. They knew each other for years, can you guess who it is?
Fact #4: Auburne is 70% fire and 30% spirit. I like the odds.
And Fact #5: Hope you had fun learning more about them and read and review. Ciao!
