In Peach's room, Peach saw the window open, and Camikon came flying out. He had his wand away right now, since he wasn't using it for magic. From what the princess could tell, he didn't look happy, which made her feel a little worried.

"Gah… I can't believe Chopper's beaten King Lakilar!" Camikon grumbled. "He's only got one Star Spirit left to find! But… Chopper's REAL challenge is about to begin! You hear me, Princess?"

"Chopper only has one Star Spirit left to find?" Peach gasped. "Then… He's almost done!"

"That's a bad thing. But I happen to know who's guarding the final Star Spirit. The Crystal King is someone that you don't want to have for an enemy." Camikon took his wand out, and an icy aura appeared inside the wand. "Isn't that right, Crystal King?"

"Oh, yes… This Chopper does seem to be a good challenge." a chilly voice hissed. "If he wants to make it to Crystal Palace in Shiver Mountain, it's going to take a lot. The entrance to Shiver Mountain has been sealed off. But, if he makes it, I will gladly take care of him."

"Nyeah heh heh heh… Excellent. Bowser and Lord Maquano will be proud! There's no way Chopper can get to the Star Spirit now!"

"I also noticed that some ghost demon guy came falling down here. I heard him saying that he was angry about being thrown out. I think he said something about becoming a boss."

"Bob? Oh, forget him. He's Maquano's idiot brother. Just…leave him to freeze. He's annoying."

The magic from Camikon's wand faded away afterward. "Everything's in perfect order. I shall go higher up in the castle for now. Princess Peach, don't leave this room like last time!"

Camikon left Peach's room. With him out, Twink flew back. Peach thought that now was the perfect opportunity to leave.

"Hey… Twink. You know that Sneaky Parasol I got from behind that table?" Peach recalled. "I can change into someone else when I use it, right? So maybe it would be a good idea to use it right now."

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea! You should try it out. You remember how to use it, right?" Twink asked.

"Of course I do! I just go behind someone and I press (B) to transform into them. C'mon, let's go test it out!"

Peach left the room by using the secret passage, and when they were in the hallway, they saw the Koopatrols not using their flashlights. They were apparently talking to each other.

Peach sneaked behind a Koopatrol, and she transformed into one. Now with that, she could roam around without having the Koopatrols take her back to her room.

"This is just excellent! No one notices that I'm not really a Koopatrol!" Peach thought.

Peach walked to one of the Koopatrols and talked to him. "Hey. How goes it? Phew… They've been working me like a dog lately…"

"That's a shame..." Peach trailed.

"Yeah, it kind of... Wait, what's with your voice? Do you have a cold or something?"

"Ummmm... Yes! I have a cold!"

"Whoa! Then stay away from me! I don't want to get your cold!"

Peach sighed in relief as she and Twink simply went up the stairs ahead and spoke to the Koopatrol there, who let them through, thinking she was on patrol. After walking up to a smaller hallway with a couple of windows, she reached a Koopatrol that was standing in front of the door, giving her an irritated look as she walked to him.

"Where's my relief already? My shift has been over for ages now!" the Koopatrol complained. "Listen… A Tartara was supposed to come here to guard, and he hasn't shown up! Could you go find him and get him up here? Please! I'm exhausted! I'm sure he's outside of the castle. Take this key to get to him, all right?"

The Koopatrol gave Peach a Castle Key. "You'll need this key to unlock the door to the entrance of Peach's Castle."

Peach and Twink headed back to the hallway where the doors with the kitchen were. The door to the bottom was locked, so Peach used the key to unlock it. Outside of the castle, they could see a Tartara asleep. He slowly opened his eyes and noticed Peach as a Koopatrol standing in front of him.

"Huh? Oh, listen, Koopatrol… I'm a little tired." the Tartara yawned. "Don't tell anyone or even Lord Maquano and Camikon. I'm just so tired…"

"If he won't go, maybe you can disguise yourself as him," Twink suggested.

Peach changed back, but the Tartara noticed her, making her gasp.

"Huh? Peach? No… I must be dreaming…"

"Phew…" Peach felt relieved that she wasn't caught. So, she used her Sneaky Parasol on him, and she changed into the Tartara.

Now that she's the Tartara, she headed up to the Koopatrol to talk to him. The Koopatrol felt relieved to see her.

"Ah! Finally! About time, you fiery lizard dragon thing! I've been waiting here for a long time for you to show up, and now you decide to come! So, you take your shift now."

The Koopatrol began to walk away, but he turned around, shouting, "And don't even think about goofing off, either!" before leaving.

Peach walked through another small hallway where she saw a couple of windows. One was apparently fixed up and brand new compared to the others.

"I'm so glad the window's fixed. I hated it when Bowser broke through it. But, that was before." Peach sighed.

After climbing a staircase in the next room, she got onto the roof, where she saw two Koopatrols and a door to the left, leading to a small little tower. The door opened, and Kammy Koopa came out. Peach immediately lined up with the other Koopatrols.

"OK, OK. Everything's finally ready. Even if Chopper shows up with all of the Star Spirits, we'll still be all right! It pays to expect the worst." Kammy grinned.

"Absolutely! Affirmative! You're right, Kammy Koopa!" the troops nodded as Kammy began to walk along before taking a look at Peach.

"Mmm! You there!" Peach jumped up in fear as the hag looked at her. "You're doing a fine job. Keep up the good work!"

"Hold on a second, Kammy!" Camikon flew down to Kammy on his broomstick. "I was checking to see where that Tartara was, and I saw him sleeping outside the castle! And that Tartara happens to look like him!"

"Hmm… You may be onto something, Camikon!" Kammy noticed as she took a sniff from Peach. "You! You smell…too nice…"

"All Tartaras don't have a good smell, you know. They smell like fire!" Camikon snarled.

"Yahhhh!" Kammy raised her wand as purple lightning zapped down on Peach, changing her back to herself.

"Uh-oh!" Peach gulped.

"You… Why you little… Princess Peach! Unbelievable! You're out again! Guards! All of you! Catch this little runaway and take her back to her room!"

The two Koopatrols picked up Peach while crying, "Noooo!" They carried her all the way back to her room. Twink was behind the roof, and he followed her. Kammy and Camikon watched the Koopatrols take Peach all the way back to her roof.

"This is the last time we're going to let that brat leave her room!" Kammy growled.

"What do you plan on doing?" Camikon asked.

"Oh, you'll see... And I'm sure it'll work!"

City of Flowersville-

Chopper and his friends were back at the Dayzeeflower Girls' house, and Kayzee was at the front door with a worried look. Blayzee and Tayzee were floating by her, telling her not to worry at all.

"You should really stop playing with that stupid doll anyway," Tayzee suggested.

"Tayzee! Don't be rude!" Blayzee snapped.

"I'm sorry that I'm being honest, Miss Goody Two-Shoes!"

Before Blayzee and Tayzee could get into an argument, Professor Plutonium came out of the house, and Kayzee immediately flew to him.

"Is he going to be all right, Professor?" Kayzee asked.

"Bloopi's just fine. He's good as new!" Plutonium held the fixed Bloopi in front of Kayzee, and she grabbed it and hugged it.

"Bloopi! You're all nice and squishy!" Kayzee squealed, while hugging Bloopi.

"It didn't take too much for me to fix it. Now he's just the way you liked him."

"Thank you, Professor!" Kayzee squealed as she hugged him.

"I still think that doll is stupid," Tayzee grumbled.

Meanwhile, Chopper and his group of friends were talking to the Star Spirit the freed, Klevar.

"What a pleasure meeting you. My name is Klevar. Thank you for saving me." Klevar thanked. "King Lakilar is gone, so any problems going on with him are no longer a problem to Flower Plains. I feel if you hadn't come, Flower Plains would have been under Lakilar's rule. Now there is only one of us Star Spirits trapped. Just one more, Chopper!"

"Yeah, there's only one more left!" Chopper smiled. "The Mushroom Kingdom should be saved in no time!"

"Here… Please use my Power as you continue your fight." Klevar raised his arms as he gave Chopper his power, making sparkles rain down on the boy.

Chopper's Star Energy goes up to 6! Chopper can now use Time Out, a new Star Spirit Power! With Time Out, you can stop time—and stop all enemies in their tracks!

"Now you are able to use the Powers of six Star Spirits. If you use mine well, it should prove to be extremely helpful in battle. Don't become overconfident, though. You must be careful. Bowser has power, as well. Remember that even stronger enemies await you… I hope our Powers will help you so that you may help us… We're all depending on you!

"Don't worry, it will help. The Star Spirits' powers usually come in handy."

"Good! Now… I'll go back to Star Haven now. I can't wait to get there! I've been terribly worried about everyone…"

Klevar flew back up to Star Haven. After waving goodbye to the sixth Star Spirit, they heard the Dayzeeflower Girls talking.

"I wonder what they're talking about…" Bruce pondered.

"Guys…" Koopla spoke up. "It kind of feels like I had some kind of vision of…some kind of different area that I've never seen. It looked like a home world for Stars.

"What? Are you sure about this?" Chopper asked.

"Yeah, I'm sure. It's like some pink mist came to me, and it suddenly showed me a brand new area."

"Really? That doesn't make much sense..."

"Well I did, whether you believe me or not."

"Hmm… I thought I've seen something like that…" C-2 Choppor recalled. "But, now's not the time to be talking about something like that."

"At least I'm not the only one…"

"Hey, Bow…" Chopper began, turning to the green ghost. "I noticed you weren't really happy that much or something, so I was able to find something while walking around in some flowers. Maybe it'd make you feel better?"

He took out a rose and gave it to her.

"I only found one, so I thought you'd want it. So, I gave it to you."

"Oh... Thank you, Chopper." Bow gawked, taking a look at the rose. "I mean, it's not like you needed to do it, but OK. I appreciate the gesture."

"So you're better? Good! I think it'll help with the team!" Chopper smiled before going back to his friends.

"Chopper..." Bow mumbled, her eyes still on the rose. "Even when I've messed with you... You've barely shown much anger... How do you do it?"

Blayzee, Kayzee, and Tayzee flew over to the group, with Kayzee looking the most excited.

"I want to come with you all," Kayzee declared. "Yeah, I know it's something you probably expected, but I want to see what's out there."

"Sure, you can come," Chopper nodded. "I mean, you really handled that Lakitu king well…even if it was pretty violent."

"Tee hee hee! OK! I'll join you all!" she giggled cutely as she flew over to her new friends.

"Now, Kayzee… You must be careful out there." Plutonium advised. "If you ever need us, you can always come back here."

"Make sure you don't lose your doll!" Blayzee suggested. "And another thing you should know about... You-"

"You don't have to keep talking," Kayzee groaned. "Ugh, you're such a bore-snore!"

"Make sure you give those bad guys you see a beating of a lifetime!" Tayzee suggested. "And maybe some day you'll get rid of that dumb doll too!"

"No way! I love Bloopi! You can't do a thing about it!"

"I think we should get going right now," Parakarry suggested.

"See ya guys-er, I mean two girls and guy," Chopper said as he took off, no longer being squeezed by Bow. Koopla followed Chopper next, and so did the others. Kayzee waved goodbye, and she flew off with the group.

"Good-bye, Chopper," Blayzee sighed as she turned away. "It's a shame I didn't get to talk to him much. Kayzee actually seemed to like him, and most of the time I don't get to hang out with many people. Maybe someday I'll go on an adventure too..."

"Good luck out there, Chopper," Tayzee said. "You're going to need it you green freak…"

"Tayzee, what have I told you about name-calling?!" Plutonium scolded.

Toad Town-

While they were back at Toad Town, Chopper thought maybe it would be a good idea to go back to the Dojo, so he headed there first before doing anything else. His partners followed him too.

Chopper spoke to The Master, who looked up and was surprised to see him again. "Cough…hack… Ah, Chopper, you've returned. For what purpose did you come here today?"

"I want to fight again," Chopper replied.

"Very well. This time, Lee will fight you. Now, Lee… Let me see how you handle Chopper."

"Certainly, sir! I will defeat him, Master!" Lee nodded before turning his attention to Chopper. "Hey, Chopper! I bet you've never seen a move like this!"

Lee used his shape-shifting powers to turn into Bow. Everyone gaped, especially Bow.

Tattle: This is Lee, of the Dojo. He's training under The Master and is happy to fight us. Max HP: 20, Attack Power: 5, Defense Power: 0. He has mastered the art of disguise, so don't let it faze you when he suddenly mirrors us. Remember, he can't stay disguised forever. Don't let his strange tactics throw you off guard, no matter how many times he transforms.

This is Lee disguised as Bow. Lee has disguised himself as Bow perfectly, so his attack power is the same as Bow's usual power. That Smack attack is brutal! Oh, how cruel!

"With my Ultra Shoes, this shouldn't be much of a problem!" Chopper stomped on Lee, or rather, the transformed Bow. For some reason, Chopper didn't feel as good attacking.

"Who does he think he is, shape-shifting into me?" Bow fumed. "I'll give him the smack of a lifetime! In fact, I'll use my fan on him!"

Bow floated toward her copy and took her fan out. She smacked her copy five times, and each attack dealt 2 damage. So, all together, that's 10! The Bow copy floated over to Chopper, and she began to use her Smack. Luckily, Chopper guarded the six Smacks, which did nothing to him.

"And now to finish this easy fight up!" With two stomps, Chopper became victorious. Lee changed back to his normal self as well with a dazed expression..

"Enough! Chopper is the winner." The Master announced. "Lee, you must train harder."

"I think that's enough for now. I'll see you some other time, Master!" Chopper and the others left the Dojo, while Chan walked over to Lee.

"So... It looks like he managed to best both of us..." Chan trailed.

"Yes... Just like we predicted." Lee moaned as he got up. "But... Does he have what it takes to beat...The Master?"

Eastern Toad Town-

"Chopper!" a Toad shouted as the eight walked into the eastern area of Toad Town. "Great timing. Somebody was looking for you. He's over at Merlon's house."

"Really? Someone wants to see me at Merlon's house?" Chopper gasped.

"Yeah! And you know, if you're being led into Merlon's house, then that means he might know where another Star Spirit is!"

"Another Star Spirit!" Kayzee squealed. "What are we waiting for?! We need to go now!"

With that, everyone hurried to Merlon's house. They saw someone else in the house as well. It was a black Ninji waiting for them.

"Oh, it's you!" Merlon gasped. "You came at such a good time. There's a guest waiting for you."

"Nice to meet you," greeted the Ninji. "I come from Starborn Valley. Starborn Valley is in the Shiver region, a chill place far to the north, at the very end of the earth. Merle, who hails from there, said that he had something important to tell you, Chopper."

"Merle of Starborn Valley is my son, Chopper. It seems he's calling for you. If he is searching for you, you can be sure something important is afoot. You must go to Starborn Valley! Do not delay!"

"Yes, please hurry! I will run ahead and take tidings of you to Merle." the Ninji said as he left Merlon's house.

"I think somewhere deep below Toad Town is a pipe connected to Shiver City. Starborn Valley is located quite near Shiver City. Chopper…hurry to meet my son. He waits in Starborn Valley."

"All right, we'll do that! I think I saw some pipe south of here…" Chopper pondered. "We should go check it out!"

Everyone agreed and went to the southeastern area of Toad Town to find a mysterious pipe. When they went down it, it led them into the sewers, which had a couple of pipes, and a gray floor.

"This place is kind of icky…" Kayzee gagged.

"Aren't sewers meant to be all smelly an' all that jazz? Hey, there's a hole over there!" Yosho looked down the hole, and it appeared to lead deeper into the sewers. They headed down the hole, and they found water up ahead. Since the water's sewage, Chopper refused to go in there.

"I'll take care of this!" Kayzee flew Chopper to the other side, and she soon helped the others get over afterward.

"I remember there used to be a big Blooper around here," Parakarry recalled. "But it doesn't look like it's here now."

They found spikes in the next area, but there was also another path they could go with a couple of Goth Troopas lurking around. Since Chopper thought it would be better to check the spiked path, Kayzee flew him over to the pipe across the pipe and went down it.

There appeared to be a path over sewage around after coming out of the pipe, so Chopper avoided the Spinies around him and smashed the Stone Block to the left after making his way through the path. The next area had blocks on the ground that appeared to be covered in water. Chopper didn't have a clue what they were.

"Those are some weird looking blocks…" Parakarry trailed.

"Yeah, they are. Let's just keep going." Chopper headed on through the doorway ahead, smashing the Metal Block in his way. Up ahead, a big chest appeared in front of Chopper. He opened the chest, and some gloves popped out. They appeared to have an icy glow around them.

"Hmmm?" Chopper held them up, but he couldn't hold onto them any longer because of the cold feeling in them.

You got the Ultra Gloves! The attack power on Chopper's Hand ability increases! Not only can you use fire, but now you can use ice to freeze enemies! You can even freeze water with ice!

Chopper felt the gloves on him after putting them on, and they felt cold. Eventually he got a little used to them. The good thing, however, was that his Fire Hand was not gone.

"Brrrrr!" Chopper shivered as he hurled an ice ball to the wall, making a chunk of ice appear and eventually shatter.

"Hmmm… You can use ice now. Maybe that will freeze those water blocks." C-2 Choppor stated.

"Let's check, then!" Chopper headed back to the previous area and shot an ice ball at the water block. It became frozen. Chopper smashed the block with his hammer afterward, and a Life Shroom popped out, which he immediately took, knowing that Life Shrooms are VERY helpful.

Returning to the pipe, they jumped down to the area that they didn't go to, and they saw a light blue door in the next area…across more sewage.

"Hmmmmm... Did this part of the sewers get flooded?" Bow gawked. "If I could recall, it wasn't anything like this..."

"I guess this is why I need to use my Ice Hand," Chopper shot an ice ball at the water and it froze it in a matter of seconds. "All right, let's go quickly! The ice will break pretty soon!" Chopper quickly headed over to the door, and the others skated across the ice to follow him.

Chopper opened the door, and they all headed in. They found a pipe in the next room, so they jumped in there. But, once they came out, they noticed the sewers…were kind of frozen. There was no sign of sewage.

"Brrrrr! It's so cold! Don't you think it's cold, Bloopi?" Kayzee shivered as she looked at Bloopi and cuddled it so it would make him and herself warm.

"Yeah, it's pretty cold here!" Koopla shivered. "I wish I came a little prepared..."

"Hey, an Upgrade Block!" Chopper walked to the Upgrade Block and gave it a good whack. He decided to go with Parakarry for this one.

"Really? Oh, that's just weak right there…" Bruce whimpered.

With that, Parakarry became Ultra Ranked. That left only Koopla and Bruce to be upgraded.

"Thank you, Chopper! Now I'm Ultra Ranked!" Parakarry cheered.

"Good thing I got this jacket on, or else I'd be freezin'!" Yosho sneezed. He noticed that his snot turned into icicles. "Holy… Did icicles just come out of my nose?"

"No, that was snotcicles," Chopper shrugged, receiving strange looks from everyone else. "Umm… Yeah, I made that up."

"It's getting cold here! Let's just go up that pipe ahead!" Kayzee flew over to the pipe up the the small staircase.

"My scanners indicate we'll be in Shiver City," C-2 Choppor stated. "But… I don't know if it's REALLY a city. But, I guess they call it that."

"What are we doing sitting here? Let's go through that pipe and get the last Star Spirit!" Koopla exclaimed.

Chopper jumped up the stairs and entered the pipe along with his friends. They knew that since this was the last Star Spirit for them to find, it would be considered the toughest as well.
