Chapter 13: The Great Stage/The Spear of Immortality
The four and Cauliflower arrive at the Great Stage. The building has a strong resemblance to the Bass Music Hall in Forth Worth.
"Wow! This place looks so beautiful," Peach commented, as she and the rest step out of the mini train.
"Classy and fancy. How are we going to get in?" said Birdo, looking at the locked doors to enter.
Then Cauliflower shapes her tail as a key and unlocks the door with it.
"Good girl, Cauliflower," said Daisy, they go in.
As they walk, they watch their every step on the floor since it's cover with papers and food.
"They should have a janitor here," said Toadette.
"Shh! Girls, do here that music," said Daisy, hearing piano music.
"Why, yes. It sounds lovely. Mail Toad must be where the music is coming from," said Peach.
When the girls enter the Auditorium, they find a piano playing by itself and the frame of Mail Toad on the stage.
"Come on, ladies," said Daisy, leading them to the stage.
But then they stop when they see Amadeus Wolfgeist playing on the piano.
When he sees them, he says, "ah, the brainless princess and her circus troop has arrived. It's annoying how late you are. Oh, well. Please, ladies, take your seats or let them take you."
The girls quickly get off the stairs back down when the stairs retract. Then the chairs levitate and aim for the girls.
"Scatter, everyone! Scatter!" Peach commands.
Then ballerina Goobs appear to join to go after them. As the girls run from being hit and avoiding ghosts, Daisy says, "I hope Luigi's alright."
Back with Luigi, he falls into a dark and wet dungeon, and the book still in his hands.
"What happen?! I hope Boosette doesn't find me here. I should continue reading," Luigi continues. "Once Senor Gravely finished it, he caught sight of his maid and realize that she's beautiful on the inside. He fell in love with her that he forgot his promise to his past wife and creating the Spear of Immortality. But then his past wife came from her grave in a ghost form and was in shock to see Senor Gravely has moved on from her. So, she kidnapped him and turned him into a ghost with the Spear of Immortality. Now that Senor Gravely is reunited with his past wife, the maid worried about what will happen next if someone else uses the Spear of Immortality. After the Gravely Couple has their first child, the child, and her hidden the Spear within the castle. The maid guarded the Spear with her life that after she died, her spirit protects it."
Then Luigi closes the book when he notices something very bright and shiny ahead of him. He looks up to find the Spear of Immortality being held by a statue that looks like a maid.
Then Luigi says with amazement, "it's the Spear of Immortality."
Luigi looks around in case anybody is here, so he strolls to the Spear. He was so impressed with its lovely design that he wishes to touch it. But before he could, the statue begins to move, and it looks at Luigi while still holding the Spear. Luigi gets scared that he falls to the ground. But the figure wasn't alert of him wanting to touch the Spear.
"Fear not…" the statue continues. "I have been waiting for a mortal to come. From the book you read, I am that maid. My soul is within this statue. My Polterkitty; Cauliflower aids me to protect this Spear from any evil. Now, an evil called Boosette is wanting it. So, she found my beloved Polterkitty and kicked her out of the Immortality Palace. She then gave away the Immortality Keys that keeps the castle locked to her minions. Please, Luigi…take this Spear and run away from this fate that Boosette wishes to put on you and never look back."
The statue presents the Spear of Immortality to him. She then grabs his right hand gently and places the Spear in it.
"Luigi…" the statue continues. "Find another guardian of this ancient relic, so my soul may rest in peace. Now, go…the light shall show you the way."
Then the statue falls apart. Luigi wasn't scared but remain frozen of this task that he's tasked to do.
"Don't worry, I'll do it," said Luigi, calmly.
Then a light shines from a ceiling door, and Luigi goes to it.
Back with Daisy, Peach, Toadette, and Birdo, the chairs are gone, and they sucked up all of the Goobs.
"Gah! You ladies, now done it! Prepare to meet your end by my Mad Piano," said Amadeus Wolfgeist.
When he goes into the piano to possess it, Peach gets scared that she says, "the mad piano has returned!"
"Come on, ladies! We need to beat him. Birdo, you flash him. Toadette, you throw the bombs in it. Peach, you'll slam the piano. And I'll take on the ghost," said Daisy, before Birdo flashes him.
"Hey, I'm the leader here."
"But I'm the one wanting to save Luigi. So, get used to it."
After Toadette and Peach do their parts, Amadeus Wolfgeist comes out of the piano, and Daisy begins to suck and slam him. After thoroughly sucking him in her Poltergust, a golden key with a white jewel on it.
After Daisy picks it up, the voice of E. Gadd, "good jobs, ladies. You got the Golden Apple Key. Now, you can save your friend."
Quickly, Cauliflower kicks the stairs back to the stage. Peach goes over to the trapped Mail Toad and frees him from his frame.
"Princesses, Birdo, and Toadette, thanks for saving me. Can you point me the way out of here?" said Mail Toad.
"Sure, follow us," said Toadette.
Back with Luigi, he finds himself in the Lounge of the Immortality Palace when he comes out from a hidden door on the couch. He then sees the entrance to Castle and quickly runs for it while holding the Spear of Immortality. When he opens the door, he sees the gates into the Immortality Palace locked by 17 magical locks that together they form a crucial giant keyhole.
"No, no, no, no, no! I'm trapped! What am I going to do?!" said Luigi, beginning to panic.
Then Boosette lands on top of him and takes the Spear from him.
"I told you couldn't escape from me, green bean. Goobs, make sure he gets back into his cage while I prepare for the ceremony," said Boosette, gets off of Luigi.
Then the Goobs grabs hold of Luigi forces him to come back into Immortality Palace. Boosette then giggles as she looks and holds the Spear of Immortality.
"Now that I've found it. I can create the ceremony to make Luigi immortal; permanently," said Boosette, as she walks back into the Palace and closes the door behind her.
Back with girls, Mail Toad gets himself comfortable in the garage next E. Gadd's lab and petting Pepperoni. The four and Polterkitty are stretching to prepare for their next destination.
"Be careful out there, ladies. These ghosts play dirty," said Mail Toad.
"And that's how I like to play. Okay, girls, the next place we're going to is Castle MacFrights," said Daisy.
"Is it like a coliseum?" Birdo asks.
"You know it, and I'm guessing that's where Hint Toad is held captive," said Toadette.
"Let's go save him, ladies," said Peach, going into the mini train.
