After awhile, our heroes had finally managed to get to the top, where Bowser was with Antasma and some of Bowser's minions.

Antasma commented, "At last... SCREEP! I vill use the Dream Stone to realize my dreams... SCREEK! But first... SCREENK! SCREET! SCREE-EE-EF!"

Just like that, Antasma changed out of his bat form and into his regular form.

Bowser huffed, "Whoa! Buddy, what happened to you?! Is that what you normally look like?!"

Antasma stated, "Yes... Now that I am back in this vorld... I can return to my true form... SCREECH!"

Bowser replied, "Heh! Not too bad! You look pretty evil!"

Antasma responded, "Bowser... All that has come to pass is due to our meeting... SCREEP! Und vee even got the Dream Stone in our claws! SCREEEKEEEE! Vee should use the Dream Stone...right NOW! SCREEPEE!"

Bowser questioned, "Okay, how do we do that?"

Antasma explained, "SCREEF! Vee must gather some energy for it first... Vith collected energy, it vill grant us anything vee vant!"

Bowser stated, "Anything I want, huh? I can get behind that! What's on your wish list? Losing that screechy tic?"

Antasma replied, "SCREECH! I vish... TO CONQUER THE WORLD!"

Bowser huffed, "Hold up. What? Buddy, you better wish again! I already claimed the world!"

Antasma replied, "SCREEP! Perhaps I misspoke... I vill give you the vorld. All I vish for is the freedom to spread my vings. I vish to do anything I want. Und then, I vill be happy."

Bowser responded, "Hmm...okay by me. BWAHAHAHAHAHA! So we're square! Let's do it! We'll take over the world together!"

Kamek spoke, "Your Dreaminess! We stand ready to make that wish come true, sire."

Bowser started to say, "Good. In that case, let's get a mo..."

"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!"

The evil team looked up and saw that Mario, Luigi, and Violet had arrived. With them were Starlow and Prince Dreambert.

Bowser questioned, "Mario! Violet! And the green stache! How'd you know we were here?!"

Violet answered, "We're not going to tell you anything!"

Luigi stammered, "Y - yeah and my name is Luigi!"

Mario stated, "You better give us the Dream Stone right now!"

Starlow added, "Yeah, it doesn't take a genius to anticipate your moves!"

Prince Dreambert replied, "Antasma! It is an age since we faced off! I know not how you contrived to come back to this world... But you will not stay long! I will return you to the Dream World!"

Antasma responded, "SCREEEEMBERT! You! Meddling vith me again... Vee haff no time to play vith these creatures... Vee must collect energy for the Dream Stone..."

The Goomba called, "Hey Mario! Luigi! Violet! Listen to THIS!"

At that moment, the Goomba turned on the speakers that were with them.

Antasma commented, "All...things... MUST SLEEP!"

Starlow asked, as the group backed up from the music, "What... What's that?! What's that music?!"

Prince Dreambert breathed, "Could those be... the Dreambeats?"

Violet questioned, "Dreambeats?"

Antasma spoke, "You are correct... The Dreambeats! All who hear these beats vill fall asleep like rocks..."

At that moment, the minions fell asleep as Mario, Luigi, and Violet struggled to stay awake.

Luigi stated, "Those Dreambeats are powerful!"

Mario replied, "We have to stop them before we fall asleep too!"

Starlow responded, "That's a good idea."

Prince Dreambert told them, "It doesn't seem to affect Starlow and I. The better idea is to get out of here. I could stop Antasma but if you all fall asleep, I cannot stop Bowser. Leaving the Dream Stone cannot be helped since we cannot afford to fall asleep right now."

Violet sighed as she said, "Right, let's go then!"

With that; Mario, Luigi, Violet, Prince Dreambert, and Starlow escaped.

Bowser commented, "Gahahaha! Look at 'em go! RUNNING WON'T SAVE YOU!"

The Dreambeats were so strong that eventually, Luigi passed out. Mario and Violet struggled to stay awake. Prince Dreambert saw a Dreampoint and knew that it was the best way to get away from the music. Starlow and Prince Dreambert helped Mario and Violet get Luigi to the Dreampoint. As soon as the Dream World's porthole was open, Mario and Violet went into the Dream World.

Starlow stated, "At least they are safe in there."

While this was going on, the people of Pi'illo Island were starting to fall asleep and the energy was coming from everyone.

Bowser saw the lights going into the Dream Stone and asked, "Huh? What are those things?"

Antasma answered, "SCREEEPS! The Dream Orbs..."

Bowser questioned, "Dream...Orbs?"

Antasma explained, "These vill allow us to absorb energy from those who sleep... These Dream Orbs are the energy source that vill power the Dream Stone..."

Bowser stated, "That's a lot of words, but okay. Sounds pretty sweet!"

Antasma replied, "SCREEKEEDEE! Good. This is good! Ve vill soon be able to use the Dream Stone. SCREEG!"

...

Meanwhile, Mario and Violet returned back to the Dream World.

Mario stated, "I think that trip really woke me up."

Violet replied, "Same here but what are we going to do about the Dreambeats?"

Dreamy Luigi came over as he responded, "That's a good question."

Prince Dreambert appeared and told them, "I believe the wise path is to lay low for now."

Mario commented, "I happen to agree. At least we're all here."

Violet added, "And we know that Starlow won't fall asleep in the Real World."

Dreamy Luigi stated, "Which is a good thing. Right now, we stay here."

Prince Dreambert replied, "And once this is over, we will get you some medical attention."

Dreamy Luigi nodded as they looked around the Dream World. However, the porthole started to disappear! No one had the chance to react because the minute that they did, the porthole disappeared.

Violet asked, "Does this mean that we are stuck here?"

Prince Dreambert answered, "Since Luigi is now sound asleep due to the Dreambeats, I'm afraid we are stuck here for a bit."

Mario stated, "Not if we find a way to shut down those Dreambeats from here."

Dreamy Luigi questioned, "How are we going to do that?"

Violet explained, "Well, we can't do that right away. We have to figure something out."

Mario told his team, "Til then, we stay here and explore."

Prince Dreambert seemed to have nodded and said, "Sounds good."

Dreamy Luigi added, "Sounds good, Malleo."

With that, the three heroes went further into the Dream World to find a way back to reality. After learning about another Luiginary Work, our heroes continued onwards. When they came across an activate volcano, Mario had a good idea.

Mario stated, "I've got it! If we cause chaos here in the Dream World, maybe it'll cause some chaos in the real world."

Violet replied, "It's worth a try."

Dreamy Luigi responded, "Then let's do it!"

Prince Dreambert commented, "Sounds like a good idea."

And just like that, the four of them started to look for a way to erupt the dreamy volcano...
