A brand new arc has begun! Let's see what kind of messes the team gets into.

Chapter 10: Exploring the port, to annoy a heir

The team is amazed at what they saw, a joyful town, full of toads, yoshis and beanies.

"WELCOME TO WAKEPORT!" someone in a Zeekeeper suit greeted them. "This is the best spot to relax in the island! Enjoy!"

"Let's get to the centre" Luigi said, the gang agreed when a voice halted them, "Mario! Luigi! Starlow! Bunch of teens!" certain old witch said.

"Kammy?" Starlow asked then remembered, "Oh right, you said you guys installed in the port's hotel"

"Correct, now where's Lord Bowser?" the witch asked. The team gave worried looks before Mario sighed and decided to tell her what happened.

20 minutes later

"Your surliness!" Kammy shouted. "This can't be! That Junko girl will not go around with his nastiness' body, just like that Cackletta witch!" the magikoopa snapped.

"Private Goomba! Corporal Paraplonk! Sergeant Guy! Keep an eye on Bowser Jr.! I'll personally go to find your highness!" Kammy ordered the three guards, pulled out her broom and took off.

The troopers nodded and went to the hotel.

"Well, that was weird" Makoto said. "I'm disappointed you still consider this weird after everything that happened at the academy" certain heir coldly said as he descended from the hotel's roof.

"Byakuya!" the teens gasp as the bros stared at the heir. "Before you ask any stupid questions, Mario and Luigi, I have Mewtwo's powers" Byakuya said. "And I already heard everything" he adds.

"Yeah that's right-" Luigi said when Byakuya shushed him. "Come out already. This stalking is getting on my nerves"

From the bushes of the hotel, the Ultimate Writing Prodigy pops up and gets near the heir.

"Toko!" Makoto gaps. "Oh, it's you guys and those loser plumbers. Nothing compared to master here!" she looked lovestruck towards Byakuya.

The heir just sighed and got next to Mario, "Very well, since Junko is back, I suppose you can count me in your pitiful team for now. After all, I can easily defeat her now with these new skills"

Mario just rolled his eyes but agreed while Mondo looked at the heir unamused.

"Excellent! Your hard work, even if took everything for granted in the past, will be vital" Taka pridefully smiled.

"Just don't think I'm your friend, only Makoto and Kyoko are worthy of that title" Byakuya spat.

"Who wants to be friends with an asshole like you!" Mondo growled. "Shut up you hot-blooded loser! I'll go wherever my master goes!" Toko drools.

"Oh dear" Starlow winces. With that, Byakuya and Toko join the adventure.

"All right, let's go to the tour centre!" Luigi chirps, "As a token of my willingness to cooperate, I'll tell you we need to go west from here" Togami says.

The gangs nods and takes off. As they crossed a house, a voice yells "BOO! BOO, I SAY!" which make Mario and Luigi to widen their eyes and get ready for battle.

From the house a petty thief emerged, "There's supposed to be a treasure in this dump! But it ain't here, see?

I've been bamboozled!"

The thief spotted the team, "You think you can only watch at the great Popple like that?"

"Popple…" Mario stood ready, "I see you heard about me! You're all looking at a legend! I've swiped treasures from every corner in the world!

The Baron of Burgle!"

The team stares at him confused.

"I give up" Popple then looked at the bros., "You two look funny. Like those palookas back at the Beanbean Kingdom. And they're TROUBLE!

Always getting in my way! Stomping me! Hammering me! Burning me! Shocking me!"

"Those dudes you met back there… are us" Mario says. Popple, upon looking them better, drops his jaw and glares at the them.

"YOU! You two and your dumb friends better not get in my way this time! I came to this island to start fresh!" Popple shouted and left.

"What was that?" Kyoko asks, "It's just a petty punk Luigi and I encountered back at the Beanbean Kingdom. He was more of a rival than an enemy, always trying to steal something we needed to stop Cackletta" Mario answered.

"Stop wasting master's time! Let's go to the tour centre!" Toko snaps.

The gang nods and takes off.

With now Popple loose on the island, the crew has to keep their guards up now.

Determined, they arrive to the centre and enter…
