Chapter 23: The Dance Hall/Hurry!
With Daisy, Peach, Birdo, Toadette, and Cauliflower, they are on the mini train and arrived at the Dance Hall. The building looks like the Bell Tower of Houston, Texas.
"Classy joint for a dance club," said Daisy, exits the mini train to stand in front of the building with her allies.
"Come on! Mario must be in there," said Peach, heads right in.
When the girls and Cauliflower enter the building, they hear music from the dance floor.
"Hey, listen to that funky beat," said Birdo, dancing to it.
"It could be the ghost playing it," said Toadette.
"Mario loves to dance and listen to music. He must be where the music is coming from. So, let's follow our ears," said Peach, follow the tone.
As the girls walk across the halls, Daisy says, "wicked paint jobs and clothes."
"Upstairs! That must be where the music is. Let's go!"
As the girls walk up, the music stops playing when they are a foot close to the door. When Peach opens the door, they see a golden key with a maroon jewel on top on the dance floor and Mario's prison painting hanging behind the DJ set.
"Mario! And the last Immortality Key," said Peach, going to the key.
"Um, Peach… This seems too easy," said Daisy, joining her with Birdo and Toadette.
"So? We got the last key, and next will get Mario."
Then a loud noise startles and pushes the girls off the dance floor, thus make Peach drop the last Immortality Key.
"What the heck was that?!" Birdo shouts.
"I told you it was too easy to be true," said Daisy to Peach.
"Yeah, but who turn on the music?" said Peach to Daisy.
When the music plays, DJ Phantasmagloria appears behind the Dj set while shaking her hips to the beat.
"Who are you suppose to be?" Toadette asks her.
"Hey, brainless orange princess and pink gal trio! I'm the one and only DJ Phantasmagloria," she continues. "If you sugars want the Time Key of Immortality and the painting of Mario, you need to dance-off. Alright, boys! Show them what you got!"
Then eight Goobs in hoodies appear, dancing to the music that DJ Phantasmagloria plays while one of them takes the Time Key of Immortality and hides it in his hood.
"Okay! You're on! Let's rock this house, ladies," said Peach, gets on the dance floor with Daisy, Birdo, and Toadette.
The girls snap their fingers while strolling to the group of Goobs. Then they slide to the left and right while opening their arms. Peach, Birdo, and Toadette twirls while Daisy pounds her fist on the floor to reveal the ghost who has the key. But the ghost throws it to another one and disappears. After the spirits make their spin attacks, they do the worm.
"I'm going to Pound the Alarm!" Daisy shouts while punches the floor.
When the ghost holding the Time Key of Immortality appears, Birdo sucks it up with her Poltergust while the other ghosts disappear. But the Key flies out of the tube of her Poltergust, and DJ Phantasmagloria manages to catch it.
"Nah-ah-ah, honeys! You may have beaten the rest, but can you beat the best," she said before on the dance floor with her flaming disks.
"Really? Birdo, if you please?" said Toadette.
Then Birdo blows DJ Phantasmagloria's afro off, her disks away, and then Peach begins to suck her up with her Poltergust. When DJ Phantasmagloria trapped in the Poltergust, the tube of it spits out the Time Key of Immortality.
Then Daisy catches it and says, "Groovy! The last Immortality Key is ours!"
"But let's not forget, you know who," said Birdo, frees Mario with her Dark Light flashlight.
When Mario comes out, his hands land on the disk and backflips on to the dance floor.
"Mario! Oh, thank goodness that you're safe at last," said Peach, happily hugs Mario tight and covers his face with kisses.
"Peach, Daisy, Birdo, Toadette! I'm so happy to see you all," said Mario after Peach lets him go.
"Ladies and Mario, you got to get to the Garage quick! It's about Luigi," said E. Gadd's voice.
"My bro is in trouble?! Let's-a-go!" Mario said before grabbing Peach's hand and leads the girls out of the Dance Hall.
When the girls, Cauliflower, and Mario arrives at the Garage, they find Hellen's staff, E. Gadd, the Toad Twins, Yoshi, and the Toad Brigade talking.
"The ghosts are free," said Mario, in shock.
"No, Mario. They're on our side now," said Yoshi.
"Oh, they are?"
"Oh, speaking about ghosts," said Peach, before releasing Johnny Deepend and DJ Phantasmagloria.
"Huh? Wha? We're free?" said Johnny, confused.
"What's going on here?" DJ Phantasmagloria asks.
Steward then whispers to them about E. Gadd's deal with Hellen's staff, which made them understand.
"Ladies, I been trying to contact you about the Spear of Immortality," said E. Gadd.
"The what?" Toadette confused.
"It's the dark relic that E. Gadd mentioned before," said Steward.
"You need to give them more description about it," said Chambrea.
"It's a knife-like spear that could transform any mortal into an immortal permanently," said Kruller.
"It was mixed in a brew with Cinnabar, tail fin of a mermaid, peaches, armit, a Buckthorn-like plant, ambrosia, and water from the Holy Grail. By carving the cutting edge from Golden Apples and the handle from the Philosopher's stone, combines the two parts and puts in the brew. The whole blend then gets sucked into pieces, and it became the gold and gleaming knife-spear that's known today," said Chef Soulffle.
"One strike in the heart, the mortal remains as a ghost permanently," said Amadeus Wolfgeist.
"Well, of course, there needs to be a ritual perform before doing it," said King MacFrights.
"First, paint a pentagram surround an outside alter with blood-red paint," said Dr. Potter
"Then, put one vase of peach blooms at the center of every open fan shape on the pentagram," said Morty.
"And uh… Silver candle holders with golden candles will show the light of the moon were to shine and one on each point of the pentagram," said Ug.
"And once the moon is shining down on the ritual," said Clem.
"That's the time to stab the Spear of Immortality into the mortal's heart," said Serpci.
"And the point is?" Birdo asks.
"The point is!" Nikki shouts at her.
"If Boosette gets her hands on the Spear of Immorality," said Lindsey.
"It could mean Luigi will never be human again," said Ginny.
"We have to stop Boosette," said Daisy.
"Yeah, because I found this image on the security footage," said Captain Fishhook, gives her a picture of Boosette carrying Luigi to the roof of Immortality Palace.
"Luigi! We got to save him," said Daisy.
"First, Mario, Toad Twins, and Yoshi take your Poltergusts. Luigi made them for your birthdays," said E. Gadd, giving them each a Poltergust with their colors and signs.
"Wow! Thanks. I feel more guilty about his faith," said Yoshi.
"Hurry! To the mini train," said Daisy, going to the train.
