Chapter 21: the Spectral Catch

Daisy, Peach, Birdo, Toadette, and Cauliflower arrives at the Spectral Catch. The restaurant has a resemblance to Pirate's Landing from Port Isabel, but the sign of restaurant is replacing with 'the Spectral Catch'.

"Wow! Something tells me that building represents the writer's childhood," said Peach.

Hey, Peach! No breaking the fourth wall! Anyway, the four girls and Cauliflower enter the place, but to only find themselves at the way to the Grotto Lounge is blocked by the remains of a boat.

"Oh, dear! Now, how are we going to get to Yellow Toad?" Toadette asks.

"It's time to go Super Suction, baby," said Birdo.

She uses her mouth to suck the remains of the boat to reveal the door to the Grotto Lounge. When Daisy opens the door for her team, they became fascinated by the Lounge.

"Wow! I want to come here to hang out, next time," said Daisy, as everyone walks.

"Hang out with a bunch of unsanitary men? Pass," said Birdo.

"Focus, ladies. We need to save Yellow Toad," said Toadette.

When they got to the giant skull, it opens the mouth to reveal the door to the Beach. When Daisy opens it, it shows the Beach and the Pirate's Landing Pier.

"Oh, can I ring the bell," said Peach, goes to the bell.

"Are you sure about this?" Daisy asks.

"I'm just going to ring the bell. That's all."

When Peach rings it, the ship from a distance came to shore. The vessel reveals to be the Black Dragon Pirate Ship and lowers the plank for the girls to go on board.

"Wow! This place knows how to impress their customers," said Birdo.

"Come on, ladies. Let's hitch a ride to maybe find Yellow," said Daisy.

Once the girls went on board, they see Yellow Toad's painting prison on the stern, and Toadette says with concern, "Yellow! We got to get up there somehow."

"There's not even a ladder to reach him. Now, what are we going to do?" said Daisy.

When Captain Fishhook comes swimming to the boat, Peach hears the water moving from his swimming and says, "shh! Girls, do you hear that splashing?"

When Captain Fishhook gets on board of the ship, the four were startled of seeing him, but Birdo says with boredom, "a ghost shark? I'd seen better animal-themed boss fights than this. And are you supposed to be Captain Fishhook?"

"Aye, female warriors! I indeed be Captain Fishhook, the terror of the seven seas. If you wish to save your Yellow friend and have the Air Key of Immortality," said Capt. Fishhook, revealing that he has a golden key with an indigo jewel on top hidden underneath his eye patch. "You'll have to face me or eaten by me."

"First, that's a gross place to hide a key, and second, we're going mount you on the wall once we're done with you," said Daisy.

"We'll see about that."

Then Captain Fishhook goes into the deck and posses it to suck Daisy, Peach, Toadette, and Birdo from below. Then four Oozers appear to throw powder keg bombs.

"What do we do?" Toadette says with fear.

"I'll distract Cpt. Fishhook, while the rest of you get a bomb to throw in his mouth," said Daisy.

As Peach, Birdo, and Toadette get the bombs, Daisy blows raspberries at Captain Fishhook. When they throw the weapons into his mouth, he comes out of the deck while coughing out smoke. Then Daisy starts to suck him up with her Poltergust when his hook gets to suck on deck tiles. Then Captain Fishhook went into the deck again to try sallow the girls back, but they below him out of the floor again, and Daisy tries to suck him in her Poltergust, but he escapes.

"Now, it's time to get serious," said Captain Hook, before possessing the stern.

"Oh, my! I'll admit, that is scary," said Birdo.

As Captain Fishhook tries to lift the ship, Peach says, "what's happening?!"

When four ropes appear at the other end of the ship, Daisy says when grabs one of the strings, "ladies, grab hold!"

When they each grab a rope, Captain Fishhook lifts the boat, and girls held very tight onto their ropes. Once the ship leaves, Oozers begin to throw more bombs.

"Okay, ladies. Grab a bomb and ready to fire," Daisy commands.

Once Daisy, Peach, Toadette, and Birdo each get a bomb, they fired into the mouth. And then Peach and Daisy fire again to get Captain Fishhook to come out and coughing smoke. After Daisy thoroughly sucks Captain Fishhook into her Poltergust, the tube spits out the golden key with an indigo jewel on top called the Air Key of Immortality.

Peach catches it and says, "huzzah! The Air Key of Immortality is ours!"

Then the girls see Cauliflower at the top of the stern and lower down a ladder for them to climb to Yellow Toad's painting prison.

"Good job, Cauliflower," said Daisy, as the four girls climb to the top.

When they reach to Yellow's trap portrait, Birdo uses her Dark-Light flashing to free him. And when he came out, he slides down on a canon and lands into Toadette's arms.

"Wow! I was lucky to catch you, Yellow," said Toadette, putting him down gently.

"Thank you, girls. I thought Luigi is going to save from this embarrassing painting, but thanks a million that you came," said Yellow, as Toadette hugs him while he's blushing.

"Let's get going to the mini train," said Daisy, climbs back down to the deck.

But little do the girls, Cauliflower, and Yellow Toad know that Boosette and Luigi were watching them at the Lounge in the Immortality Palace.

As Luigi cheers for Daisy's success, Boosette gets in a rage of this that she picks up a couch and throws at the movie screen.

"How do you like that, Luigi?! If she continues like this, she'll ruin your chance to be an immortal for eternity and my chance to marry you!" Boosette shouts while stomping her feet, furiously.

Then Goob comes in and whispers into Boosette's ear, which made her happy to say, "ah, the moon is getting close to shining on Immortality Palace? Excellent! Let's Luigi to his position."

But when they notice Luigi hopping away into the throne, Boosette said with ease, "get him, Goobs."

When Luigi makes in the throne room, he finds King Boo sleeping while Hellen Gravely and Polterkitty sleeping on top of him. He gets confused until he notices a group of Goobs is coming for him. Then King Boo, Hellen Gravely, and Polterkitty wakes up to see Luigi freeing himself from his bound and gag and runs all over the halls while the Goobs chases him.

"What did we miss?" King Boo says while he, Hellen, and Polterkitty watch Luigi getting chased.

When they see Boosette, she says to them, "The moon is about light down on the ritual. Once Luigi gets to his position and becomes a ghost, permanently, I'll marry him and take over your kingdom, King Boo. Then overthrow Bowser to take his kingdom, then the Mushroom Kingdom and the world. Aaaaaaahahahaha!"

When she leaves, King Boo says, "I never thought I say this, but…. Daisy, please hurry!"

Back at the Garage, the Toad Twins hug each other for being reunited. The Toad Brigade and Yoshi cheers and claps for them being together again.

"All that leaves are Mario and Luigi to rescue," said Daisy.

"Come on, ladies. Let's go save Mario," said Peach.

"Stop! Wait a minute," said E. Gadd, coming out of his lab.

"Aw, come on, Professor! Mario needs our help!"

"Morty says that Mario held at the Dance Hall. However, the key to it is held at the Fitness Center by a ghost called Johnny Deepend. If you want to save Mario, you must get that key."

"Fine… To Fitness Center!"

When Daisy, Peach, Birdo, Toadette, and Cauliflower left on the mini train, Morty came to E. Gadd and then E. Gadd says to him, "so, the items you told me can only turn people immortal, but not ghosts."

"That's right," Morty responds.

"So, is there anything that can turn a ghost permanently?"

"Yes, the Spear of Immortality."

"What is it?"

"I tell you in the lab."
