BGM: Underground Theme (Super Mario 3D World)
"Man, it feels good to get out of that hot and dreadful area." Marisa said.
"I dunno, it felt kind of great." Mokou said.
"Yup." Natsu nodded.
"Eh, it was alright." Lea said with a shrug.
"Well, for you hot heads, of course you wouldn't mind." Marisa rolled her eyes while Anastasia caught up with the others.
"Hey, where'd you go?" Xinah asked.
"Oh, you know… debating on what to do with this Keyblade, that's all." Anastasia replied.
"Found a resting place for it?" Yoshiko asked.
"Oh, I'm still looking for it, but I do have an idea." She said with a wink.
"Hey, whatever works for you." Katie said.
"Excuse me, Katie." Beep-0 went up to her. "According to my databanks, I couldn't help but notice that you once had a Keyblade yourself."
"Yeah, it was with Caliburn… but I gave him back to dad. I just didn't feel compatible with a Keyblade OR a talking sword for that matter, especially when I'm more interested in martial arts."
Meiling's eyes lit up. "Martial arts, you say?" She grinned. "How much do you know, I can teach you a few of my tricks!"
"What, does it involve sleeping?" Katie deadpanned, earning a snicker from everyone while Meiling sweatdropped.
"Uh… not entirely…"
"I'll pass, laziness doesn't suit me."
"Truth be told, I'm better than Komachi…" Meiling sheepishly rubbed the back of her head. "…Somewhat."
"You can't defend yourself over that." Sakuya told her.
"Ugh, I wish!" She sighed.
"Ah, I was wondering why you didn't summon it." Beep-0 mused.
"Remind me to update your info on everyone when we get back to our universe." Liz said.
"Noted!" Beep-0 nodded as they went down while moving blocks to create more platforms to go down… though the ones who could fly just patiently waited for them at the bottom until they regrouped.
Marisa looked at Kai. "Something on your mind?"
"Oh, just the thought of Maleficent is bothering me a bit." Kai said.
"Oh, so you fought Maleficent in your universe?" Xion asked.
"Fought? More like killed her." Maria replied. "For some strange reason, our parents didn't kill her, and then when we had our Keyblades, our first adventure was a wild one. You'd think we would've eased into it, but no, we were caught up in Xehanort's war… and what's the first world we go to? We go to an Ark and stop some lunatic prophet from activating the Halo Rings… then it just got wilder from there."
"Halo Rings…" Samus rubbed her chin. "I think I heard about them in my travels one time when I was on a bounty mission."
"But you did fight Maleficent, right?" Sora asked.
"Yeah, it was her final stand against us Keyblade Wielders and… then we defeated her once and for all, and we sent Pete to jail… who was then killed by the Heartless instead of busting him out." Kai explained.
"Huh… interesting." Riku rubbed his chin in thought.
"The thought of Maleficent coming back to us is… quite frightening. Not to mention she's alive and these kids never met Maleficent. I wouldn't forgive myself if I let Maleficent have her way with our kids…"
"Oh, don't worry about it, honey." Vito said. "I doubt she's really interested in us."
"Yeah, and it's not like she's planning on kidnapping one of them." Maria said.
"I hope…" Kai sighed.
"I suddenly don't feel comfortable with what Maria said…" Lucy whispered as they kept going… until they came across an area that had a decent amount of Smashers and a few Valkiryes and Heartless. As they went to destroy them that were in the way… more Smashers kept popping up, and soon, they were surrounded by hundreds of them.
BGM: The Encounter (Kingdom Hearts II)
"What the… where'd they come from?!" Wendy asked.
"Out of our way, meat heads!" Natsu yelled as the Smashers started to run toward them with the Heartless aiding them as Natsu jumped up in the air. "FIRE DRAGON'S BRILLIANT FLAME!" He yelled, knocking a few of them away as Chrom and Lucina ran forward and slashed through several Heartless and a few Smashers.
A Smasher snuck up behind Liz, who was busy shooting down Heartless with her Power Glove, and got ready to smack her into the ground, but Yoshiko had none of that and proceeded to burn him into a crisp and kicked him away.
Link aimed his sword up as it started to glow, and then proceeded to use Skyward Strike on a Large Body to knock it over, then Zelda ran forward and transformed into Sheik, kicking the Large Body toward a group of Smashers, knocking them all down as Link then threw a flurry of bombs at them to destroy them all.
Kai proceeded to use Strike Raid on a Neoshadow and then resummoned her Keyblade as she used Aerial Slam on a Smasher and then used Thundaga on it to get it to disappear, and when she landed, a Smasher jumped into the air toward Kai to smash her, but Cirno came in and summoned an ice sword, blocking the attack.
"Sorry, pal! I'm not letting you hurt Kai!" Cirno said, slashing him away.
Kai looked at her in surprise. "Did you just call me-"
"Don't get used to it!"
Kai chuckled. "Right."
"This is absurd." Ryoma said, back-to-back with Xander. "You'd think we'd find an exit but they just keep coming."
"It's going to be hell if a few more show up." Xander said.
"Then those will be the ones I'll take care of."
Xander smirked with a chuckle. "What, are we having a contest now?" He asked as they proceeded to work together on the Smashers and the Heartless, while their Rabbid friends did all the other work.
"Mario! Give me a boost!" Peach requested, Mario nodded and knelt down as Peach ran over and then Mario let her jump in the air after having her go flying up in the air, as she was met with Daisy who had the same idea. They both looked at each other and nodded, both of them firing their weapons from above to cause major damage… and the explosive rocket caused several Smashers to go flying in the air, where Takumi and Gray took care of them with their bows.
Laxus punched several Heartless away while also elbowing a Smasher from behind… and then he was hit by Anastasia's electricity. "Wipe them out, dude!" Anastasia said, unleashing more powerful voltage as Laxus was eating it up.
"Oh yeah…" Laxus smirked as his fist crackled with electricity. "LIGHTNING DRAGON'S BREAKDOWN FIST!" He yelled, punching the ground hard enough as the whole ground rumbled underneath them, and then the lightning hit the Smashers and Heartless while Anastasia made herself a living lightning rod so none of her friends would be accidentally hurt by Laxus' attack… and then there was an exit cleared.
"Go, now!" Robin said as they went forward… and then they saw another roadblock up ahead where Bucklers and more Heartless waited for them, and some Peek-a-Boos too.
"Oh, you gotta be kidding me!" Pit complained as Tiki went in her dragon form and proceeded to make a path by breathing fire, but the Peek-a-Boos weren't making it easy for her… until Hinoka and Cordelia made quick work on them, but unfortunately for Tiki, the Bucklers raised their shields to protect themselves from the fire.
Unfortunately for the Bucklers, though… they made themselves wide open where Camilla and Frederick ran through and made quick work on the Rabbids and Heartless while Remilia threw a few Gungnirs to pierce through the ones that missed… and as for the survivors, let's just say that Tharja did some… questionable things to them that made even the Wario Bros question her sanity.
And in the end… they had made it safely to the other side.
Resume Underground Theme
"Whew, that was a thing." Marco said.
"You're telling me." Anastasia agreed.
"Well, on the bright side… at least that's done." Marisa said, putting her Hakkero away.
"Hey, we're almost there. I can feel it!" Elise said.
"Y-you really think so?" Sakura asked.
"Of course! I mean, we're close to Bowser Junior and his crew along with getting Spawny back. Once that's taken care of, we'll come home victorious!" Elise grinned.
"Well, that does seem logical… but there's a flaw in that plan." Subaki pointed out.
"What is it?"
"The Mega Bug." Subaki said. "Sure, we'll get rid of Junior, but that doesn't necessarily get rid of the Megabug."
"Oh… I'm sure we'll figure it out… somehow." Elise said.
"Here's hoping it's soon." Riku quietly said as they walked further… and then they came out of the cave and right back to the factory.
End BGM
"…Oh great…" Marisa groaned.
"Well, we had to come back here eventually." Kai said.
"I was just hoping it wasn't soon." She sighed as they walked into the hot inferno once again… though it wasn't too horrible since Juvia, Azura and Nitori cooled them down.
"…Why do I suddenly feel crowded?" Katie wondered, then realized that some of them were next to her for cooling. "Just because I'm an ice user doesn't mean I have an icy aura around me!"
"Ooooh, I should invent a device for you that'll do that!" Liz said. "Beep-0, make a note of that."
"Added to the backlog of things you want to invent!" Beep-0 said.
"Excellent!"
"…You have a backlog too?!" Nitori's eyes sparkled. "My fellow Kappa call me crazy for having one! Now I don't have to suffer alone!" She said, high fiving Liz.
"Uh…" Hina looked at her in confusion. "I don't know what just happened."
"Science happened." Marisa replied.
"Well, glad I don't have people crowding me now." Cirno said with a grin… and then her fairy friends crowded her. "Aaaaand I spoke too soon."
"Let's just get through this before we all start melting." Lissa complained as they walked quickly while the fire users casually walked while looking at each other with a shrug.
"You'd think my daughter wouldn't be minding the heat!" Lea called out to Maria.
"I live in a desert, not a volcano!" Maria shouted.
Lea chuckled. "Worth a try."
"It's funny, sometimes I don't mind the heat but other times, it gets to me." Yoshiko said. "Probably depends on the location."
"Oh, don't worry about it." Mokou said. "Not like we're in any sort of galaxies that has nothing but lava."
"No thank you…" Yoshiko muttered as they walked ahead where they came across a group of Valkyries, Ziggies, Rabbid Heartless and a few Smashers ready to take them on… and there were massive fireballs that rained down, which gave Natsu an idea.
"Hey Mokou, you think you can send those fireballs in my direction?"
"Can do!" Mokou nodded.
"What are you up to?" Erza wondered as Natsu whispered in her ear. "That's the most dangerous thing you can do to those Rabbids. I like it." She said and then went to whisper it into the ice users.
"I… don't think my ice can handle fire butt's flames." Katie said.
"It's worth a try." Gray said as she and Cirno nodded.
"Alright, here we go." Katie pulled out her ice bo staff and proceeded to make a cannon while Gray and Cirno proceeded to add more ice so it wouldn't melt in the heat while Katie was adding the finishing touches to it, while adding something to the front. "Alright, we're good to go!"
"Mokou! You're up!" Erza said as Mokou proceeded to kick the fireballs toward Natsu who was busy eating it all up and once he felt he had enough…
"Now I've got a fire in my belly!" Natsu chuckled as he jumped forward to the cannon and got to the back, opening it up with a grin. "FIRE DRAGON'S ROOOOOOAR!" He yelled, unleashing it into the ice cannon and then firing it out rapidly toward the Rabbids and Heartless.
A minigun cannon, if you will.
The rapid fire sent them all into a frenzy and tried to hide from it, but thanks to Link with his Magnesis, they couldn't stand a chance as the Defenders came in to try and block the fireballs, but it wasn't enough as their shields disintegrated until there was nothing left… and then the cannon melted.
"I'm surprised that stayed up for that long!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Hey Katie, you think you could use your ice powers without the bo staff sometime?" Anastasia asked.
"Are you kidding? I would need a device for that!" Katie replied back to her.
"Oh, there's an idea." Liz said, writing it down.
"This backlog is getting bigger and bigger by the minute." Beep-0 said.
"I can't wait to invent all these things when we get home!" Liz grinned excitedly.
"Are you sure she's a bit shy?" Gajeel wondered while rubbing the back of his head.
"Our adventures does get her out of her shell." Yoshiko explained. "Though… it's still a work in progress."
"I say 'mission complete' at this point." Gajeel chuckled as they walked off and encountered another group, but they mostly had the high ground and some of them were at the bottom… who were already taken care of by Marisa and her Mini-Hakkero. The ones who survived that were met with Meiling's kicks that did the job, while the Peek-a-Boos were having a difficult time with Luigi while Nitori sent a few sentries out to get rid of them.
They then walked ahead and then came across the pipe puzzle while also noticing a mech in the background. "Well, that mech looks neat." Nitori said.
"Okay… so I wonder if we can go through… this one!" Natsu said as he went inside the pipe… and then popped up a few feet from them. "Ha ha! Success!" He said and then turned around. "Oh wow, you guys made it here quick!"
"We never moved." Kai told him.
"Eh?!" Natsu looked into the pipe and went inside it… and popped out from where he was earlier. "…You gotta be kidding me!"
"There's a trick to this puzzle." Kai said as they walked over to the switches. "Let's see… I think it goes this way." She said, pushing a button as some of the pipes moved.
BGM: Going Somewhere (Mario Party 2)
"No no no, you got it all wrong." Maria said as she pushed another button, turning it around as Cirno and Youmu came up on the wrong end.
"Did we just make a U-turn?" Youmu wondered.
"I think it's this one!" Kai said, hitting it as Cloud came out and nearly fell in the lava.
"Whoa!" He said, holding on for dear life.
"You're remembering wrong, it's this way!" Maria argued, hitting another switch as Erza and Jellal smacked into a wall.
"Ow…" Erza groaned as she saw Jellal was right on top of her as both of them blushed… and then Happy had to ruin the moment, causing them both to kick him away.
"Uh… is it this button followed by this one?" Kai wondered, as Vito and Marco both ended up in a long U-Turn.
"You have a bad memory!" Marco told her.
"I think it's… these three!" Maria said.
"YAAAAGH!" Luigi yelled, launching out of the lava and landing near them, and joining him were Xinah, Xion, Lucy and a few of the Rabbids.
"So that's what lava feels like…" Xinah groaned.
"Uh… what about the red and blue one?" Kai asked, as Yuuka smacked right Hinata and Takumi.
"The yellow, green and blue?" Maria wondered.
"OW!" Pit yelled, smacking right into Yuyuko and Lucario.
"…I've always hated this puzzle." Maria complained.
"Me too." Kai sighed.
Several injuries within a few minutes later…
End BGM
"Okay… I think this is it." Kai said.
"You go in it! I don't want to get a concussion from this thing!" Tharja complained, pushing her into the pipe… and Kai didn't even come back.
"Yup, that's the combination!" Maria said as she went in as did everyone else where they landed in some battlefield surrounded by lava.
"You okay, honey?" Vito asked, reaching for his wife's hand.
"Yeah… I'm fine. Just caught me by surprise." She replied after being helped up while glancing at Tharja with a glare.
"Hmph." Tharja looked away with folded arms as they walked along until they got to the center where they were suddenly surrounded by a few Bucklers… and then an airship came along and then General Guy, the Elite Trio, and the four Captains jumped off.
BGM: Lava Caves – Magmoor Caverns (Metroid: Samus Returns)
"That's far enough!" General Guy ordered.
"Out of our way!" Marisa ordered.
"No, we are not budging. We are going to finish you off once and for all while Junior gets ready!" Goomp said.
King Boo spotted Captain Boo. "Captain Boo! What are you doing with these imbeciles?"
"K-King Boo?! What are you doing with them?"
"It's a long story that I HATE… but I have to live with it now." King Boo said. "You are to come to our side."
"After everything we worked hard on by giving Junior pointers on how to be a real leader? Not a chance!" Captain Boo said. "You defected to the good side… and therefore you are a traitor with those Boos of yours!"
"Not like I had a choice!" King Boo growled.
"As a traitor, I will be the one who will finish you off!"
"…HA! That's cute." King Boo smirked.
"Rabbids! Heartless! Everyone else! Buy Junior some time!" General Guy ordered as they quickly did so as they managed to drag everyone away from them… but the Mario Bros, Peach, Daisy, Kai, Vito, Maria, Ryoma, Xander, Chrom and Kamui managed to break free and confronted General Guy.
"MARIO!" Captain Goomba ran toward them. "AS CAPTAIN OF THE GOOMBAS, I WILL AVENGE MY FALLEN BRETHEREEEEEEN!" He yelled… only to get hammered away from him, knocking him with Captain Shy Guy.
"…Moron." General Guy grumbled. "So! It's leaders vs a natural born leader, huh? And the Mario Bros followed! This is going to be quite interesting."
"Bring it on." Chrom said as General Guy proceeded to get into his tank.
"Let's get this show on the road!" General Guy declared.
BGM: Mid-Boss Mayhem (Mario and Rabbids: Kingdom Battle)
"Eat Bullet Bills!" General Guy declared, shooting several Bullet Bills as they quickly went into cover to avoid the attacks. Daisy aimed directly at General Guy and fired her rocket launcher, but General Guy conjured up a shield to block the attack. "Ha ha ha! You can't damage this shield!"
"We gotta flank him." Kamui said.
"Right." Kai nodded as they went around him.
"Ah ah ah! I see you!" General Guy turned around and quickly shot at them with the Bullet Bills, but Kai quickly used Reflega to bounce them back as she and Kamui went to cover.
"Nnngh, well that's unfortunate…" Kamui quietly said. "Now what?"
Kai had an idea. "They're gonna hate me for this." She said as her hand covered itself in darkness and summoned a few Bruiser and Tank Toppler Unversed. "Go, distract him!" She ordered as they nodded and went over to General Guy.
"What in blazes are those things?" General Guy wondered. "Oh, who cares!" He said as he proceeded to shoot them, but they took the Bullet Bills like a champ and with Kai commanding them from the shadows, they quickly attacked the front, which distracted General Guy as she and Kamui went around him.
"What do you call those things?" Kamui asked.
"Unversed. I control them with the palm of my hand." She replied.
"Ah, they probably call you Queen of the Unversed!"
"Queen of the Unversed… never heard that before but that does have a nice ring to it!" She grinned and then quickly summoned a Buckle Bruiser as it proceeded to tear a hole in the tank and then the two girls went inside of it, where Kai quietly pushed a button that said 'turn off shield' as she proceeded to do so… before Kamui smacked it with her Yato Blade to destroy said button as the two crawled out… right when the Unversed fell from the Bullet Bills.
"Alright, now that that's taken care of… you're next!" General Guy declared as Kai unleashed a Thundaga spell and hit the tank. "Agh! What happened to my shield… AND WHY IS THERE A HOLE IN MY TANK?!"
"Oh, this is gonna be good!" Luigi exclaimed, sending a sentry over and controlled it while the others covered Luigi as they ran forward and attacked the tank as it rolled forward to try and attack them but they quickly rolled back.
"Been meaning to use one of these…" Maria smirked, pulling out a tiny Bob-omb from her pocket and then quickly threw it on top of Luigi's sentry to which Luigi noticed.
"Oh ho… nice." He smirked.
"You had a Bob-omb in your pocket?" Kai asked.
"I invented it about a few weeks ago. I call it a Micro Bob-omb." Maria said. "I only made one… but if it works, I'll make more!" She smiled as the Sentry stopped as the Micro Bob-omb went into the tank as General Guy saw this.
"HA! It's just a tiny Bob-omb!" He said as he picked it up. "This is more like a fire crack-"
BOOOOM!
"Whoa!" Kai jumped in surprise as did the others since they weren't expecting that kind of noise.
"Looks small, but has the power of dynamite." Maria said. "And since it worked on him… I'll make a ton!" She giggled with excitement... and then Luigi put the Sentry in the tank and then exploded it, which already destroyed the tank and caused a soot-covered General Guy toward them.
"Ooooow…" General Guy groaned… and then the Buckle Bruiser cracked its knuckles and punched him hard enough to send him flying into the sky. "JUNIOOOOOOR! I'VE FAILED YOOOOOU!" He yelled before he became a shining star in the sky.
End BGM
"…Can you send me some Micro Bob-ombs for the Mushroom Kingdom?" Kai asked.
Maria laughed. "Sure!"
"That takes care of that." Ryoma said as they put their weapons away while the others were KO'd as well.
"You call yourself a captain. Please." King Boo rolled his eyes as they heard footsteps as they turned to see Makarov, Mira and Shion coming up to them.
"You decided to come too?" Peach asked Makarov.
"It's the fate of our universe as is the final battle. Why would I want to miss that?" He chuckled.
"So! What's your decision?" Natsu asked Shion as they regrouped.
Shion smiled. "My decision is-"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!" A voice laughed as a mech landed right in front of them, with Junior inside it and Spawny trapped inside of it.
Mecha Jr – Junior's Favorite Birthday Gift!
"Hello, fools!" Junior laughed.
"Junior! Give Spawny back right now!" Marisa ordered, aiming her Hakkero at him.
"Hmm… let me think on this. No." Junior smirked as he readied his weapon. "I'm not letting you get any closer to him!"
"Alright, you asked for it!" Natsu said with a growl, his fists bursting into flames.
"Hehehehe, this is gonna be fun." Junior smirked.
BGM: This Must Be the Mothership (Two Steps From Hell)
Two Valkyries came to support Junior, setting up a protective shield for him while he set up a Sentry to dispose of them, to which Luigi and Nitori responded by using their Sentries to attack it. The Sentry exploded on the both of them, but another Sentry came through, belonging to Liz and then exploding on Mecha Jr.
"Argh!" Junior growled as he ran straight for them, forcing them to go into the pipes for cover… but Natsu had other ideas as he jumped up.
"FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching the mech but it responded by smacking him across the battlefield and landed near Ryoma and Takumi, the latter fired arrows at Junior, which he blocked with his hammer as the Valkyries proceeded to split up and shoot them as they went for cover while Junior walked across the area, wielding the hammer like some kind of psychotic child.
"Forgive me, Junior!" King Boo said, proceeding to fire a lightning bolt at him, but Junior avoided the attack and smacked King Boo away.
"I'll deal with you later, traitor!" Junior said as he popped out a few more Sentries as they went in various locations as a few Grenaducks hit him, as he turned around and glared at Peach and Rabbid Yoshi, as he jumped over to them and smacked the two of them away, luckily the healers went to heal them… but the Sentries snuck up on Elise and Sakura, and blew them up, as they screamed in agony and hit the metal blocks where they were launched from.
"Lady Sakura/Elise!" The retainers exclaimed in horror.
"Oh… you little bastard!" Hana quickly ran over and slashed him with an angry Effie, but more Valkyries arrived to take care of them, but they weren't just any normal Valkyries, they were the Heartless Valkyries, and they were far more powerful than their brethren since they took down the monstrous wall that is Effie with several bullets.
One by one, Junior and his Valkyries were picking them all off one by one as he was laughing maniacally. "There's nothing you can do about it!" He laughed, backhanding Camilla and Beruka's wyverns away to knock them away… and not even Erza was enough to stop him.
"Alright, that's IT!" Kai yelled, summoning the Trinity Armor Unversed as Junior turned towards it.
"Holy cow!" Junior exclaimed before smirking, doing a 'come at me!' taunt as the Trinity Armor proceeded to slug the mech, but he blocked the attacks and hammered the Trinity Armor back, to which it responded by firing lasers at him, but Junior jumped ahead and landed near Kai and hit her with his hammer as she wasn't quick enough and smacked into the Mario Bros and her family.
The Trinity Armor didn't take too kindly to this as it jumped up in the air and fired a laser from above, but Junior jumped to the side. Then the Unversed split itself apart and proceeded to use Trinity Spin, but Junior smacked the armor's body parts like they were nothing and then sent out a few Sentries to deal major damage to it with the help of the Valkyries to weaken it severely… and then he ran toward the Unversed and swung his hammer hard enough to send it flying into the lava.
"Ha! That all you got?" Junior asked and then was hit in the back by a Master Spark as he turned to see a weak Marisa aiming her Hakkero at him, but she was already beat up by him. "Well… I suppose I can make an example out of you." He said as he walked over toward him as everyone weakened by Junior was trying to get up… but the attacks from the Heartless variety didn't get them up anytime soon.
Mecha Jr. raised its foot in the air and Junior had a wicked smirk. "If dad can't kill you, if Kamek can't kill you… then I will!"
"Nnngh..!" Marisa groaned.
"Marisa!" Mokou exclaimed.
End BGM
"Farewell!" Junior smirked… and then a few spell cards surrounded him to distract him. "…What the…?" He wondered… and then the few spell cards turned into a lot of spell cards. "What's going on?"
"FANTASY SEAL!"
The spell cards exploded, as Junior yelped in agony while Mecha Jr. took heavy damage… and then a certain Miko landed on the ground.
"Back away from my best friend."
BGM: G Free ~ Final Dream (Touhou: Concealed the Conclusion)
Marisa's eyes widened. "Reimu?!"
"And some back up!" A voice said as Sanae, Suwako, Kaguya, and Eirin with Pikachu on Sanae's shoulder to which he jumped off and then two lights came down and Palutena and Viridi walked out of it.
"Argh… I still got some fight left in me!" Junior said, but Reimu fired Yin Yang Orbs to knock him back and then Palutena and Viridi sent some Mega Lasers to him to which he knelt forward while getting hit by other powerful Danmaku… and then Pikachu ran away a few feet before getting into position.
"Pika…" He smirked and then started to run. "Pika Pika Pika Pika…" He then was surrounded by electricity, using Volt Tackle. "PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA PIKA… PIKA!" He smacked right into Junior, knocking him out of the Mecha and it exploded while Junior and Spawny were rolling out and then Junior tried to catch Spawny… but he fell below.
"No!" Junior exclaimed as he saw Reimu and her team glaring at him, forcing him to retreat.
End BGM
Reimu's glare quickly turned into worry as she ran over to see if Spawny was alright… and then suddenly two dragons flew up in the air while a certain dinosaur fluttered jump up and then landed on the ground, and the two dragons landed, with a few people getting off of the dragons… well, if you could call some of them people.
The ones who got off of the dragons were Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Aerith, Tifa, a certain burly man holding Spawny and the two dragons transformed back to their normal selves… revealing to be Nah and Nowi.
"Glad we got here in time!" Nowi said with a grin.
"This little bunny was fortunate that Gregor was here to catch him. Hahaha!" Gregor laughed.
"Soooo, what'd we miss?" Nowi asked.
Several people healed up later…
"Didn't expect you two to come." Cloud said.
"Hey, a little more punching power never hurt anyone." Tifa smiled.
Reimu helped Marisa up. "You okay?"
"Yeah… I am now." She nodded and then rubbed her arm. "Look… about what I said to you earlier… I… I'm sorry…"
Reimu shook her head. "Don't be, this whole incident got to my head and I shouldn't have been quick to judge." She said.
"Well… at least you sound like your normal self again." Marisa said as everyone else went by to see if Spawny was alright, but Reimu spotted Kai and quickly grabbed her arm.
"Hey, look… about earlier-"
Kai glared at her. "I know what you're going to say… and I don't want to hear it. Don't expect me to forgive you after everything you did."
"I was actually expecting that answer… unfortunately." Reimu said. "However, I'm requesting that we fight this incident together."
"…Just don't get in my way." Kai said coldly and walked off.
"I wondered if she was still upset with you earlier. Don't worry, I'm sure she'll come around." Marisa said.
"I hope." Reimu quietly said.
"Gawrsh, a lot has happened since we've last seen each other." Goofy said.
"Heh, you're telling me." Sora chuckled.
"Pika!" Pikachu cried, rubbing his head on Samus' leg to get her attention.
"Hmm? Oh, hey you." Samus said as she knelt down and extended her arm out to him, to which he happily ran up and stopped at her shoulder, as he gently took off her helmet and rubbed his head affectionately on her cheek, as she chuckled at this. "Yes yes, it's good to see you again."
"Well, what do you know! Samus does have a soft spot!" Natsu teased… and was met by Samus' arm cannon aimed at him. "Ack!"
"Yes… now that we have Spawny, it's our duty to keep an eye on him so he won't get into any more trouble." Beep-0 said… unaware that Spawny actually walked away from them. "You understand me? We must not let him out of our sight!"
"…Uh, should we tell him?" Nah asked.
"Tell me what?" Beep-0 asked and then turned to see Spawny walking off. "Whoa whoa whoa, wait up!" He said and then took off running with everyone else after him, with Nowi casually walking with Tharja.
"So, how's that dorky husband of yours?" Tharja asked.
"He's still the same!" Nowi giggled.
"That's good to hear."
"And how are you and Robin?"
Tharja chuckled. "It's going well. I just hope he has the time to pay attention to me so we can have that… moment together."
"What moment?"
"You know… when a man and a woman love each other very much…?"
"Oooh, I get it! When they love each other very much, they go eat ice cream together!" Nowi innocently smiled.
Tharja sighed in defeat. "Yes, Nowi… we go eat ice cream together." She sarcastically said. Still naïve as ever. She thought with a chuckle.
"Yay! I was right!" Nowi giggled as they caught up with the others, and when they did, they saw Spawny float up toward the wormhole in a trance… and then suddenly, a massive dragon came out of the wormhole and flew toward them, grabbing a hold of Spawny as he started freaking out before being absorbed into the dragon, getting humongously big before flying off.
"What was that?!" Lucy asked.
"That was the Megabug in physical form." Kai gravely said.
"It gained a physical form?! Great, now what!" Sting complained.
"Well, I hope you're happy!" A voice exclaimed as they turned to see Junior flying over to them in his Koopa Clown Car as he turned around to confront them. "Spawny was happy with me! Five minutes with you losers and you allow him to get kidnapped!"
"Hey, I was using Magnega to bring him back, but it wasn't working." Roxas said.
"My point exactly! We were very happy together!"
"That's enough!" A small voice said as Wendy walked right up to Junior, looking pretty angry. "Spawny was never happy with you!"
"Oh yes, he was!"
"No, he wasn't! Did you even consider Spawny's feelings? Did you even consider how he felt?!" She asked him. "You were happy, but he wasn't! He was scared of you!"
"He just needed encouragement! I'm a good friend."
"Friends don't scare others just to get a kick out of it!"
"Oh, what do you know? I don't need to listen to what Fairy Tail has to say."
"Will you just listen!" Wendy shouted. "You did nothing but bully him! Friends don't do that to each other! You're not even a real friend at all."
"Excuse ME?!" Junior glared at her. "I'll have you know that I have TONS of friends!"
"Oh really?" Wendy folded her arms. "Name them… excluding the Koopalings."
"Well, uh… there's… there's… uh… Spawny who I am great friends with! And I'm also friends with… hmm… oh! I'm friends with my paper self!"
"He doesn't count either, since he's technically you."
"Grrr… well, I'll have you know tha-" Junior's phone went off. "Oh, that's dad. Wonder if he's posing under another statue with Kamek." He said and then read his text.
"Son, I've decided to come home early. Make sure you've cleaned your room. – Dad."
"Huh, he's coming home early." Junior said, being very casual about it... until his whole body turned white. "OH NO!" He yelled, panicking as he dropped his phone in the lava. "HE'S COMING HOME AND THAT GIANT DRAGON FLEW TO THE CASTLE! THAT DRAGON IS GONNA CRUSH DAD… AND DAD IS GONNA CRUSH ME NEXT! AND THEN HE'S GONNA CRUSH ME SOME MORE SINCE I DIDN'T CLEAN MY ROOM!" He yelled, as he flew away screaming.
"We need to move… before this whole universe is destroyed." Reimu said.
"Indeed." Beep-0 said. "If we don't destroy that thing, who knows what'll happen… for it may go universe hopping and destroy the other universes as well. Nothing will stop it."
"Then we better move." Kai said as they nodded and ran off, hoping to finish off the Megabug once and for all.
Junior, you probably didn't take out the trash either. So he's gonna crush you even more.
