Grodus's Room (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"WHAT?!" Grodus yelled. "You mean to tell me…that this Crystal Star that we captured…IS NOTHING BUT A FAKE?!"

"That is correct." An X-Naut said.

"They have all of the Crystal Stars now…ALL BUT ONE." Grodus yelled. "Hmph…never mind then. I will dispose of them myself."

"Um…before you do that, we discovered something in our security cameras."

"What is it?" Grodus asked as the X-Naut whispered in his ear. "…THAT GOOD FOR NOTHING TRAITOR!" He yelled.

Have a Nice Talk (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Peach walked in. "So, what's new?" She asked as she walked up to TEC.

"…"

"TEC? Hello? You there?" Peach waved her hand in front of the computer screen. "Earth to TEC?"

"Princess Peach…you need to flee."

"Oh sure, NOW you tell me to flee for my life." Peach sighed. "Why the sudden change of…er…motherboard?"

"It's just…I've discovered something terrible of what I analyzed of the data." TEC said. "it turns out…"

A few minutes later…

"WHAT?!" Peach yelled. "Th-that's horrible!"

"Indeed. That is why you need to flee for your life."

"One problem…I don't even know where I am." Peach replied.

"It's time for me to come clean. You are on the moon."

"The moon?" Peach asked. "As in…the moon that hangs out in our sky? That particular moon?"

"Yes. You need to get Rosalina out of here and escape in the Comet Observatory…and run as far away as you can."

"Understood." She nodded. "Can I send a message to Mario?"

"You may." He said as Peach immediately started typing and then the doors opened.

"That is quite enough." A voice said as Peach gasped and turned around to see Grodus and a few X-Nauts in front of them.

Organization XIII (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Grodus!"

"O-Oh! Lord Grodus!"

"Don't 'Lord Grodus' me, you backstabbing traitor." Grodus said. "You've helped Peach for far too long…but now it's over."

"I-I'm not a traitor."

"Yes you are!" He said. "X-Nauts…shut him down."

"WHAT?!" Peach yelled.

"It is the fate of a backstabbing computer." He said as Peach watched the X-Nauts get into position.

Come on, Peach…what would Daisy do? She thought and her eyes widened. Of course! She smirked as she immediately ran and kicked one of the X-Nauts away.

Night of Fate (Kingdom Hearts)

"What the?!" The other X-Naut exclaimed as he was then hit with a golf club.

"She has her weapons?!" Grodus exclaimed as he took out his staff and blocked an attack from Peach.

"TEC, send the message!"

"Even though it's not complete?"

"Yes! Do it!" She ordered as TEC nodded and sent the message.

"The message has been sent." TEC said.

"Good!" Peach said as she blocked an attack from his staff as he then used an uppercut on her, as she recovered as she floated straight to him and kicked him in the face.

"Gah!" He growled as he kicked her to the ground as she then recovered and switched over to the frying pan.

"Prepare to be served!" She exclaimed and ran over to him, but Grodus slammed his staff on the ground, as Peach was frozen in time.

"That'll keep her occupied. Now, shut him down!" He ordered as the X-Nauts saluted and then shut down TEC.

"N-no…." TEC groaned as he looked at Peach. "P-Peach…I-I…lo-love y-you…." He said before shutting down.

"And now…for the finishing touch." Grodus said as he raised his staff in the air as a lightning bolt shot down at Peach…right when time resumed for her as she screamed in agony and was knocked to the ground. "Hmph. Troublesome girl."

Peach looked at TEC. "T-TEC…"

"He's just a computer." Grodus said as he whacked her on the head to knock her out.

"Whatever happened to not hurting her?" An X-Naut asked.

"Never mind that." He said as he looked at one of them. "Tell ROB that he is to kill Rosalina immediately when those fools arrive to this base."

"Understood." The X-Naut saluted and took off.

"As for you…I have something special in mind."

Meanwhile…

Bowser's Theme (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Bowser walked around Rogueport, grumbling to himself. "My luck is just going nowhere. I need to find a Crystal Star…and fast." He groaned.

"Your nastiness!" Kamek flew up to him. "We found a Crystal Star!"

"Come again?" Bowser asked. "You guys found one?"

"We sure did! The others are waiting for you!"

"Take me there!" He requested as he followed Kamek into a dungeon…and saw the various lava pits, firebars, and the like. "…Some security system."

"This is nothing for you, right?" Kamek asked.

"One way to find out." He said as he charged through, jumping through the lava pits and getting around the firebars with ease.

"Wow, you're incredible!"

"Heh, now I know how Mario feels." He smirked as he walked through the corridor until he came across the Crystal Star. "Ah, there it is."

"Heh, it was nothing." Hammer Bro chuckled.

"We have at least one Crystal Star in our possession now." Junior said.

"Now what the heck is going on in here?" A voice asked as they looked to see Rawk Hawk walking in. "And how did you get passed my security system like that?"

"Whoa…I didn't know fried chicken could walk." Bowser said.

"Fried chicken?" An anime tic mark appeared on his forehead. "FRIED CHICKEN?!" He yelled. "YOU, SIR, JUST MESSED WITH THE ALMIGHTY RAWK HAAAAAAWK!" He yelled as he ran to punch him…but unfortunately, Bowser burned him up and drop kicked him to a wall.

"Come back to me when you're in a Smash Bros tournament." He smirked when suddenly the Crystal Star fell and just shattered.

"Aaah! The Crystal Star!" Junior exclaimed.

"It shattered!" General Guy exclaimed.

"WHAT?!" Bowser yelled.

"Th-the real Crystal Star…is in…the hands of…Mario and his friends…." Rawk Hawk groaned.

"You have GOT to be kidding me." Bowser growled. "What does it take to get one measley Crystal Star?! JUST WHAT DOES IT TAKE?!" He yelled.

Probably by not FAILING, Bowser.
