To Bloodyguy: Knew someone would get the reference! Also, i've been meaning to answer your question a few chapters ago but it kept slipping my mind. That Intergalactic Rings was a Halo Reference. It was originally gonna be called Halo: The Reclaimer, but I was like "No, I can be more creative than that. Oh! I know!" I was hoping someone would get it, but I guess not. Wah wah. XD
To Guest: That's a thing? I've looked up Catherine and Shamir's S Support and it never struck me that those two would be lovers. I saw it as more of a "good friends" type of deal. I doubt it'll work.
"Xena!" Jade exclaimed happily and happily tackled her into a hug, nearly making her fall over.
"Wah!"
"Oh, I'm so glad you're awake!" She smiled as Nyx and Iris came over to hug her. "Wait, there are explosions outside… how come you're not-"
"I'm trying my best to ignore them." Xena explained. "In the meantime, can someone explain to me why a Wooper was on my bed?"
"We found it at Gwarhar Lagoon, and when Gloria looked up the Wooper, she noticed it had "Damp" for an ability." Byleth said.
"Damp, as in like… nullifying explosions and such?" Xena asked.
"That's the one." She nodded.
Xena smiled and then gently patted it on the head. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy you a whole lot."
"Woopa!" The Wooper smiled.
"Careful, that Wooper tends to scream a lot." Claude said. "Sir Screams-a-Lot, that's what I'm calling him."
"Oh really?" Xena looked at the Wooper. "If that's the case, I'm gonna call ya Screamy."
"Woopa!"
"Looks like he likes it." Yang grinned. "He's definitely a scream." She said, earning an elbow to the gut from Gloria. "OOOF!"
"Lass, cut it out."
"So, what'd I miss besides waking up in the castle?"
One nutshell explanation later…
"…Oh… crap." Xena sweatdropped and turned to the Erdreans. "I didn't hurt you guys too badly, did I?"
"No, you didn't." Luminary responded. "We were hoping we didn't hurt you too badly."
"Well, I'm a bit bruised… but I'm alright." Xena said before sighing. "I'm just a mess…"
"No, you're not." Byleth said as she walked over and put her hands on her shoulders. "You're not a mess and you never will be."
Xena smiled a bit. "Thanks, Byleth."
"Soooo uh… are we gonna storm our way to Bowser's… er… Bowletta's Castle?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah, but it's up in the air." Queen Bean said. "I suppose you could fly, but I'm not sure how you can do it."
"Well, I do have Eternatus… but I have a feeling he won't be any help, that lazy bum." Gloria shrugged it off.
"We could find another flying Pokemon who can help us." Blake said.
"Like what, a flying whale?" Weiss asked. "I wouldn't be surprised if we have a flying whale!"
"Well, Wailord is known as the Blimp Pokemon." Marnie pointed out. "I don't think it can actually fly though."
"Flying whale… oh! Of course!" Princess Jade exclaimed. "Luminary! You've been trying to call Cetacea ever since we came into this world, correct?"
Luminary's eyes widened. "Of course! I kept trying to call her before we ran into these guys." He said and then nodded. "It'll be worth a try."
"Cet who now?" Nora asked.
"That some kind of Pokemon we've never heard of?" Hop asked. "Some Pokemon in some far distant region we don't know about?"
"Hop, I don't think they have Pokemon in their world." Bede said.
"Hey, you never know!" Hop shrugged as they all walked outside, where they saw a Bullet Bill coming straight for them.
"Oh crud!" Jaune exclaimed as he and Pyrrha got ready to block it.
"WOOOPAAAAAAAAH!" Screamy yelled, emitting some kind of mist from its gills, surrounding the area as the Bullet Bill slammed into Jaune and Pyrrha's shield and bounced off, landing safely on the ground, basically becoming a dud.
"…Oh!" Pyrrha exclaimed.
"Did… that tiny blue thing just make the angry missile a dud?" Hilda asked. "…Can I have one of those?"
Xena's eyes sparkled after she uncovered her ears. "Okay, I'm in love!" She grinned and hugged the Wooper as Bullet Bills slammed into the buildings and the ground, but they didn't explode.
"Woopa!"
"Okay, that will make things easier." Luminary said as he put the flute to his lips and started playing a tune before putting it away. "Let's hope this works."
As if a minute later, they heard the sounds of a whale approaching as they turned to see a flying white whale approaching them. "Well, what do you know, fifth time's the charm." Erik chuckled.
"What… I… what… I… but… whales can't…" Weiss was absolutely floored while everyone else was in shock. "I… HOW IS THAT-… you know what, screw it… I'm not even gonna bother questioning things anymore."
"Took ya long enough!" Yang teased. "I guess we're gonna have a whale of a ti-" Umbrella to the head. "OW!" She rubbed her head as Neo had an annoyed look on her face. "…Alright, alright… I'll cool it with the puns."
"About bloody time." Gloria chuckled as Cetacea landed on the ground as Luminary turned to the others.
"All aboard, let's go!"
BGM: Overworld, Act 3 (Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age)
Once everyone got on Cetacea, the giant whale lifted from the ground and flew up into the air. "Alright, to the castle!" Luminary said as Cetacea took off flying toward the castle.
"There they are!" A Paratroopa said, looking through binoculars. "I see RWBY, JNPR, the Mario Bros, Princess Peach and… unfortunately, Princess Daisy and… WHY IS THERE A FLYING WHALE?!"
"Hmph, it's the Luminary." A Gryphon said, completely unfazed.
"The Illuminary…?"
"Luminary. Not Illuminary."
"Ooooh."
Cetacea stopped at the entrance of the castle as Luminary hopped off along with the others. "Thank you." Luminary nodded. "We'll see you when we're done." He said as Cetacea flew off.

BGM: Bowser's Castle (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga plus Bowser's Minions)
"Alright, let's-a go." Mario said as they ran inside the castle, and were immediately greeted by a red skinned flying minotaur creature, Killing Machine, a demon creature holding two maces, a blue skinned fiery hothead, a Slime with dragon wings, some succubus-looking creature, a creature made entirely out of clay bricks, a yellow reptile creature holding a pot, a knight, a green dragon, a headless knight with a shield with a face on it, and a dragon that looked like a professor, all surrounding them, complete with the possessed Koopa Troop.
"Soooo uh… who are these guys?" Ruby asked.
"Moosifer, Killing Machine, Wrecktor, Flamethrower, Dragon Slime, Succubat, Golem, Jargon, Green Dragon, Dullahan and Professaurus, in that order."
"How come Green Dragon sounds less creative?" Daisy asked.
"We'll have to fight our way through." Edelgard said.
"That's how we typically do things, no?" Claude smirked.
"You're definitely right on that." Dimitri nodded.
"Ugh, I'm gonna get sweaty from this." Hilda groaned.
"Can we possibly get through all of this?" Akame asked.
"Of course! We're the good guys, we always get through this unscathed." Ruby grinned. "What can possibly go wrong?"
"Nyah ha ha ha! I'm glad you asked!" A voice said as Fawful flew over to them. "Time for the sleepiness~!" He said, firing at the large group with a sleeping gas.
"U-ugh…" Mario groaned as one by one, they all fell to the ground.
"Huh! That was easy." Fawful said. "Get back to your posts. Dullhans, send these fink-rats to the slammer!"
"As you wish, Lord Fawful." The shield from the Dullahan spoke as they picked up the group and then took them to the dungeons.

"Ugh… what happened…?" Luigi wondered as they started to come around.
"Hey, what are you in for?" A voice asked as Luigi turned to see Roy leaning on a wall.
BGM: Koopa Bros Fortress (Paper Mario)
"Roy?!" Luigi said.
"What are we, chopped liver?" Larry asked as they all looked to see the rest of the Koopalings and the Goomba Squad all in there.
"Oh great, the Koopalings… and we're all trapped in here together." Weiss muttered and then turned to Ruby. "Nice going, you dolt! You got us captured because of that line!"
"I thought that only works in movies and TV shows! I didn't think that'd apply to real life!"
"Great, so we're all stuck here. That's fan-freakin'-tastic!" Yang complained.
"Huh, I never thought I'd be stuck in the same cell as the Luminary and his friends." Captain Slime mused as they turned to see him.
"A Slime Knight? I never thought monsters wouldn't throw their own brethren in a cell." Erik said.
"The sad thing is, I had recruited them while helping Captain Goomba here recruit Bowser's allies. That Fawful creature knocked us all out and brainwashed my troops, including my fellow Slimes!"
"Captain Goomba?" Mario saw the red flag on his head, then saw the red flags on the others. "You guys are Captains?"
"We may not look it, but we're certified captains!" Captain Shy Guy said.
"I don't recall any Captain Goombas on the Koopa Troop, nor Shy Guys, Boos, and Koopas for that matter either." General Guy said.
"Yeah, you can't just self-promote!" Kamek said.
"Sorry, but with Bowser not leading us at the moment, someone's gotta do something." Captain Goomba said. "And besides, you weren't with us!"
"That… is a good point."
"I am the captain of all Slime Knights, hence the red tuft on my helmet compared to blue." Captain Slime said.
"I see." Luminary mused.
"How come the Lakitu doesn't have one?" Mario asked.
"Doesn't fit my style." Lakitu responded.
"Oh… it looks like they captured another Goomba too, along with a Paratroopa and another Shy Guy." Jaune said.
"That's Private Goomp to you! And these are Corporal Paraplonk and Sergeant Guy! Show some respect!" Goomp complained.
"Oh… it's that ice cream girl again." A voice said as Neo turned around and saw Roman leaning on a wall. She let out a small gasp and walked over to him, hugging him. "Mmph! What is with you and hugging? I don't even know you, kiddo." He said as Neo's heart dropped, which had Yang put a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Ouch… that's rough." Lemmy said. "Amnesia."
"Wouldn't a good hit on the head be enough to make him jog his memory again?" Peach wondered.
"I think it'd work best if it came naturally. I think he's slowly remembering who he is." Junior said. "I could be wrong though!"
"Mmm, I don't need a hit on the head, I'm sure I'll remember everything again." Roman said. "For now, I am still Candle." He then turned to Neo and ruffled her hair. "I imagine you're worried about me, but worry not, I will remember who you are eventually." He said as Neo let out a smile and then wiped her tears. "So, is blondie your friend here?"
"Eh… kinda." Yang said as Neo let out a silent giggle before pointing to Luigi and Marnie.
"Those two are my friends." She signed.
"Ah, I see! Good for you." Roman said and then turned to Ruby. "…Hmm, I don't know why but I still feel as if we know each other… but where have I seen you before?"
"Oh, that's because you're my… uh… dad's best friend! You visit often! Yeah…"
"Really?" Blake raised an eyebrow. "That's what you're going with?"
"Look, I don't want a cane to the face again. Just roll with it!" Ruby whispered.
"Hmm?" Hop turned over to see something at the end of the cell. "Who's over there?" He wondered.
"Oh, him? Ludwig said that he's been here around the same time as he and Lemmy got thrown in jail." Roy said. "Far… something."
"Farfetch'd." Ludwig reminded as the Farfetch'd opened its eyes and walked over to them, dragging around a huge leak.
"A Galarian Farfetch'd… fascinating." Bede mused. "What's it doing all the way over here?"
"If I had to take a guess, it flew here to see what the fuss was about… and given it's angry attitude, it was going to do something until it got captured." Lemmy said. "…That's my guess anyway."
"Far." Farfetch'd said as he walked up to Jaune and studied him closely before nodding. "Fetch'd."
"Uh… what?" Jaune tilted his head.
"I think it likes you." Gloria said. "…In it's own unique way."
"Oh… thanks?"
"Ahem! Before we can waste any more time, we must think of a way to get out of here." Ludwig advised. "Any ideas?"

BGM: Just Wondering (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"How about Roy and Morton use their combined strength to break the bars apart?" Nyx suggested.
"You don't think we tried that? Those danged bars are stronger than they look." Roy said.
"BARS TOO STRONG FOR MORTON."
"Oh! Oh! I got it!" Iggy exclaimed. "We can use my Mechakoopas to destroy the bars!"
"You have Blasta Mechakoopas and you have Zappa Mechakoopas, they don't sound like they can break open the bars." Ludwig said.
"Oh, what do you know! They can destroy ice blocks and Brick Blocks!"
"Only if you give them a Super Mushroom, which I doubt machinery can even use." Wendy said. "Come on, people, think! There has to be a way out of here."
"We try punching our way out!" Yang grinned.
"Anything less predictable?" Wendy deadpanned.
"Hey!"
"We can explode our way out." Erik said. "Veronica's known to have a temper on her."
"I heard that!"
"Personally, I'd prefer not to wake up the shadow demon that is Xena's dark persona." Larry said.
"Hmm, I suppose I can use my magic to try and bust our way out… though I don't think I have "Metal bending" as one of my powers." Sothis mused.
"How about Amyr?" Edelgard pulled it out. "We can try this."
"Amyr?" Byleth wondered and then pounded her fist into her palm. "Yes! Of course! We can use that to bust our way out!"
Edelgard walked over to the bars and swung it as hard as she could, but it didn't even leave a dent. "What?!"
"Pretty strange how they let us keep our weapons." Yang said. "At least K. Rool was smart enough to take our weapons away."
"Ah, let me know when we find a way out… I'm gonna take a nap." Hilda said, leaning against a wall and started to snooze.
"You know… I could-"
"Weapons… weapons… OF COURSE!" Gloria grinned, interrupting Pyrrha as she reached for her belt. "Lads and lasses… you've seen at least five of my Pokemon while I use a few as weapons and transportation." She suddenly pulled out a Master Ball. "This would technically be my sixth member on my team." She smirked.
"Oh! Good call!" Hop grinned, pulling out an Ultra Ball.
"Oh please tell me it's not a Goldeen. I'm sick of those popping out of Master Balls in Smash fights." Weiss grumbled as Gloria and Hop reached their arms out of the cell and aimed their balls at the ground and opened them up.

"Lllooooooooooard!"
"Griiiiiiiieeeld!"
"…Wolves?" Chelsea raised an eyebrow.
"Not just any wolves." Marnie said. "It's Zacian and Zamazenta!"
"Zacian, use Behemoth Blade!"
"Zamazenta, Behemoth Bash!"
The two Legendary Pokemon nodded as Zacian's sword grew gigantic as did Zamazenta's shield grew huge as Zacian sliced through the bars and Zamazenta bashed the bars right over, instantly destroying them from the outside.
"Looks like those two did the job for ya." Claude teased.
"…I… weakened it for them…" Edelgard mumbled, sweatdropping.
Hilda yawned. "Morning already…? …Oh, we're free. Yay."
"Good job, you two!" Gloria smiled as they walked out.
"Well, I have to say, I was not expecting a Pokemon trainer to bail us out in spectacular fashion." Ludwig said. "Now then…" He pulled out his wand. "Let us destroy Fawful!"
"Yeah!" Ruby nodded, and then something glowed nearby as they turned to see Gloria's bracelet glowing.
"Gloria! Your bracelet! It's glowing purple!" Nora said.
"Yeah… it is!" Gloria said before grinning widely. "Oh, Eternatus, you glorious bastard you!" She exclaimed as she reached for a Pokeball and had the bracelet fire its energy at it, making it grow huge. "LET'S MAKE SOME FOKIN' NOISE!" She declared and threw the huge pink Pokeball in the air, as it opened up and out came a Gigantamaxed Kingler.
BGM: Gym Leader (Pokemon Sword/Shield)
"KOOKIIIIIIIIIE!" Kingler roared.
"YEAH BABY!" Gloria yelled as Kingler put its pincer down for her as she climbed up and then climbed up on the head. "ALRIGHT, KINGLER! LET'S MELT EVERYTHING DOWN WITH YOUR FOKIN' FOAM BURST! MELT ALL THE SHITE! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"Oh good lord, she's Scottish…" Wendy groaned, watching the Gigantamax'd Kingler use Foam Burst, the alkaline from it was enough to start melting everything it touched.
"RAAAAH!" Morton went running at the Kingler. "MORTON DESTROY GIANT ENEMY CRAB!"
"Whoa, big guy!" Roy exclaimed, grabbing a hold of him. "That ain't no enemy crab! It's a good crab!"
"GIANT… FRIENDLY CRAB?"
"Yes!"
"MORTON UNDERSTANDS."
"Quick, let's move before things start falling on top of us!" Captain Goomba exclaimed as they took off running, leaving Gloria alone to her own destruction.

"She's freakin' nuts!" Iris exclaimed once they got to safety.
"That's Gloria for you. She tends to go insane whenever Dynamaxing or Gigantamaxing is on the table." Hop said.
"Ya don't say!" Yang yelled.
"Okay, so while the Scottish Lady is busy melting things… you guys got a plan?" Captain Boo asked.
"Oh, we typically storm our way through guns blazing." Ruby said. "Hammers blazing in the Mario Bros case."
"That's what we typically do too." Captain Goomba said. "Kind of a Goomba Squad thing."
"Alright, so we know what to do… question is… should we?" Larry asked.
"Considering the Scotslady is tearin' things apart, I say we go for it! Bahahaha!" Iggy laughed.
"It's worth a shot. The sooner we get to Fawful and Bowletta, the better." Luminary said and aimed his sword through the doors. "Let's go!"
"Right!" Mario nodded as they ran back to the main lobby where they had seen some Dullahans approaching them, wondering what all the commotion is about.
"They've escaped!" A Dullahan exclaimed.
"Not for long!" The second spoke.
BGM: Tip of the Spear (Halo Reach)
"Out of our way!" Daisy yelled, activating the Crystal Flower she had while Peach called out Sunshine as it used Psychic on the one Dullahan and tossed it to the side, while the Cutiefly that was near her unleashed Fairy Wind. The Dullahan got back up and swung its flail, but Luminary got in the way and blocked it with his shield as Mario jumped over him and hammered it with the Ultra Hammer to knock it down and then Ruby slashed through it to destroy it. The other Dullahan was knocked clear into the lava thanks to Nora.
With a nod, everyone ran up the stairs and into the main corridors, being greeted by Sniper Bullet Bills who were taken out by Mine. Boomerang Bros, Fire Bros and a Green Dragon came running in. "So sorry about this!" Iggy said, firing magic at some Boomerang Bros as the Fire Bros launched fireballs at them, but Captain Boo disappeared and reappeared behind one Fire Bro, slapping him upside the head and disappeared. With him distracted, Wendy threw rings at him to tie him up while Captain Goomba headbonked another Fire Bro, and then got hit by Kamek's magic.
"Hate to do this to our men, but it's for a good cause!" Kamek said. "…Can't believe I said that."
The Green Dragon breathed fire at the three Shy Guys, but a wall sprang up and blocked the fire as the three turned to Xena, using her semblance to block the fire. With a nod from the Shy Guys, Captain Shy Guy and Sergeant Guy threw turnips at the Green Dragon while General Guy shot Bullet Bills at him, and then Princess Jade came running in and used Crushed Ice to deal serious damage to it as it snapped at her, but she gracefully backflipped while Hendrick ran in and slammed his Longsword into the Green Dragon to destroy it.
A Flamethrower flew over with a few Paratroopas as it launched fireballs at them, but Hilda threw her axe at the Flamethrower, the blade hitting it on the head as it went down while the Paratroopas yelped in terror. "Hilda! Hilda!" Hilda chanted. "…Seriously, why am I the only one that's chanting here?" She complained as Paraplonk flew over and slammed into the stunned Paratroopas as they kept at it, where they heard roaring as a large black Dragon slammed into the ground and roared.
"A Black Dragon!" Luminary exclaimed.
"Let me guess, your world ran out of creativity when it came to dragons. Green Dragons, Black Dragons, what's next, a Blue Dragon?" Captain Goomba snarked.
"Focus!" Captain Slime yelled as the Black Dragon roared, only to get pummeled by a Thoron and then a Bolganone, causing it to fall to the ground completely dazed as they turned to see Sothis aiming her hand at it.
"It's either we waste time and fight this dragon while Gloria is wrecking everything, or we keep running!" Sothis said as they went onward, though Sylvando took the time to stab it in the chest with a Dragon Slash for good measure before taking off with the others. They jumped through various gaps that contained lava while they were greeted by Wrecktors, Moosifers and Succubats, to which Ludwig fired blue fire at the Moosifers as they let out some Crackles, to which Veronica responded by hitting them with a Kacrackle, and then Iris shooting at them with her rifle. Jade Gadd sucked up the Succubats and shot them away as Wendy fired rings at them to trap them as they fell into the lava below, while Morton jumped up in the air and ground pounded a Wrecktor, stunning the others as Roy ran in and bashed their heads in.
"Let's go!" Ludwig said after he and Veronica took care of the Moosifers as they took off before they came across a split path, one that lead downstairs and another leading up.
"Ah geez, a fork in the road!" Daisy groaned.
"The Goomba Squad will go downstairs and see what we find, the rest of you go up!" Captain Goomba said.
"Lord Junior, do you wish to come with us or with them?" Kamek asked.
"I'll stick with you! I wanna pummel the lady that's possessin' my dad!"
"Atta boy!" General Guy said.
"Good luck, Lord Junior!" Larry said as they split up, going in different directions.

With the Goomba Squad…
"Alright, what do we got down here?" Roy wondered as they went down and saw a "DO NOT ENTER" sign. "Oh, like that's gonna stop us because we don't care about readin'!" He said, bashing through the door. "Alright! What's so special about… oh… what the heck is going on in here?"
"What the heck?!" Captain Boo exclaimed as they saw a mini factory of Mechawfuls being built.
"No way… those are the same robots we saw in that town!" Captain Goomba exclaimed.
"Goodness gracious, there must be millions of them being manufactured!" Captain Shy Guy said.
"What do we do?" Lemmy asked. "We can't let that Fawful guy set them loose in the Mushroom Kingdom!"
"You're right." Captain Goomba turned to his squad. "Ten hut! Listen up, Goomba Squad, we got a mission to do! We have come this far to give up now, we CANNOT let Fawful have his way! If we let one of those things loose, then the Mushroom Kingdom as we know it is history, and all of Remnant may be good as dead too! So we must destroy it… and I am NOT going to give up, even if all these robots look overwhelming! We must shut it down… so who's with me!"
"I got your back!" Larry said.
"Count me in, bahaha!" Iggy exclaimed.
"Eh, sure, why not? It could be fun." Wendy chuckled.
"MORTON CRUSH!"
"Let me at 'em!" Roy smirked.
"Woo! This is gonna be fun!" Lemmy exclaimed.
"With ya to the end!" Captain Slime said.
"To the bitter end!" Captain Shy Guy said.
"I'm a ghost, I'll still live on." Captain Boo chuckled. "But I'm with ya!"
"Yo, the squad's gotta stick together!" Captain Koopa said.
"Locked and loaded!" Lakitu exclaimed.
"Orders, sir!" Goomp said. "…I cannot believe I just said that."
"What are your orders?" Paraplonk asked.
"I'm ready to roll… and possibly die, but I'm ready to roll." Sergeant Guy said.
"Hmph… I cannot believe I am going to say this to a mere Goomba… but lead the way, captain." Ludwig said with a smirk.
"We may not have our big squad with us… but we'll get them back!" Captain Goomba declared. "FOR LORD BOWSER!"
BGM: Ready Aim Fire (Imagine Dragons)
"Attention beautifully made robots! Attack those fink-rats!" Fawful ordered from a Fawfulcopter as the Mechawfuls rolled over to swung their cannonball-like arms at Captain Goomba and Boo, but Captain Goomba jumped back while Captain Boo went invisible and reappeared behind a Mechawful, slamming into it from behind right as Roy jumped over and shoulder bashed it to knock it down right as Morton crushed it with a ground pound. Another Mechawful swung their cannonballs at Morton but Lemmy tossed his bouncy balls over at it to cause it to turn around, only to get ice magic in the face from Wendy, then Roy delivered an uppercut to knock it high in the air before bringing out a Bill Blaster and shooting it with a Bullet Bill to strike it in the chest to cause it to explode.
One Mechawful aimed its hands at Lakitu and fired lasers, but Lakitu quickly avoided the lasers and threw Spiny Eggs at it while Captain Slime hopped over and slashed it repeatedly. He immediately heard a pained grunt from Larry as he was backhanded by a Mechawful, where he quickly healed him up with a Moreheal. "Thanks!" Larry said, throwing magic back at the wrecking ball swinging Mechawful, as it was then dive bombed by Paraplonk.
"Go, my pets!" Iggy called out, unleashing the Blasta Mechakoopas and Zappa Mechakoopas out on the Mechawfuls as some flying Mechawful heads floated over to them, only to get blasted away by Captain Shy Guy and Sergeant Guy's turnips, then got hit by some laser Mechawfuls, only for them to get hit by the Zappa Mechakoopas.
Lemmy hopped up on a bouncy ball of his own… and then spikes came out of it. "Woo! Let's roll!" He exclaimed, charging at the Mechawfuls and shredding them to pieces with the spikes, then he pulled out some bombs and threw them at the Mechawfuls, where they exploded on contact. "Bullseye!" Lemmy fist pumped, and soon got a laser to the face. "Ooof!"
"Have some of this!" Ludwig exclaimed, throwing blue fire at the Mechawfuls before flutter jumping and then ground pounding on top of an unsuspecting Mechawful head while Captain Goomba and Private Goomp headbonked a Mechawful as it tried to hurt them with its wrecking ball arms, then Captain Koopa slammed into it with his shell to knock it over, then Paraplonk dive bombed into it.
"Ha! You call these robots? They don't look like they have enough defense!" Captain Koopa taunted.
"I think RWBY would have an easy time with these!" Captain Goomba said.
"Wonder if they're prototypes…" Ludwig mused as they continued the onslaught of the Mechawfuls until they eventually got to the machines that were putting it all together as Lemmy put down tons of bombs and ran off.
"Take cover!" Lemmy yelled and then covered his non-existent ears as the bombs blew up and destroyed the machines in spectacular explosions.
End BGM
"Woo! We did it!" Captain Goomba exclaimed.
"I HAVE FURY!" A voice yelled as a Fawfulcopter approached them. "I also have chortles at the same time! I have Chory! …Furtles! That needs some working on!"
"Why are you laughing? We destroyed your pathetic robots." Captain Goomba said.
"That may be true, but those were just prototypes! Thanks to you, I know now what I must do to improve them! Add more defense, make them magic proof, all of the funsies!"
"…Ah crud…"
"Knew it was too good to be true." Ludwig grumbled. "But so what? Mario and his squad are heading over to you right now! Laugh while you can, because you won't last much longer."
"I HAVE CHORTLES! I am not afraid of them! And I am also not afraid of you either!"
"Well, were the robots the best you could do? We need a bigger challenge than that! Bahahaha!" Iggy laughed.
"Glad you asked, my crazy-headed friend! I have to reward you for finding out the flaws of my robots. I have found this beast wandering around the Mushroom Kingdom, and I think it'd be perfect to test out its might on you!"
"Let me guess, a Grimm." Wendy said.
"Nope! But you will suffer a grim fate! Nyah ha ha ha!" Fawful laughed as there was a loud roar echoing nearby. "Oh, there he is! He has the hungriness, and you are his main course! May I introduce to you… THIS lovely furry devil!" He exclaimed as the monstrous figure approached them. It was a monstrous beast on all fours, glowing red eyes, looked very wolf like, had fur all over its body and had two horns on its head. It let out a mighty roar.
BGM: Let the Battles Begin! (Final Fantasy VII Remake)
"Captain Slime, this guy a friend of yours?" Captain Goomba asked.
"No. I've never seen this before in Erdrea."
"I believe it is called a Behemoth!" Fawful grinned. "Enjoy the snackiness of your doom!" He said as the Fawfulcopter took off flying while the Behemoth roared.
"So uh… got a plan?" Captain Shy Guy asked.
"It's either we succeed or we fail and become this guy's appetizer!" Captain Goomba said. "I say we fight to the end!"
"If I'm dying to this thing, I'm gonna haunt your spirit ass!" Wendy threatened.
"Right, so let's worry about trying to survive!" Captain Goomba said as they charged at the giant beast as it charged back at them, the latter swinging its claws at the Goombas, but they ducked in time while Paraplonk dive bombed its face and the Shy Guys threw turnips at it.
"Eat this, ya mangy furball!" Roy said, firing Bullet Bills from his Bill Blaster, as the Behemoth swatted away the Bullet Bills like they were nothing and breathed out a fire ball at Roy, forcing him to get out of the way as it lunged directly at Roy, but Morton ran in and bashed it with his shoulder, delivering some solid punches to it and delivered an uppercut, hoping that it would cause the Behemoth to go flying, but instead, it just snarled at him and swiped him to knock him back. "Morton!" Roy yelled as Captain Slime used a Moreheal on him.
"MORTON OKAY!"
"Eat this!" Wendy yelled, hitting him with ice magic, which immediately caused the Behemoth to turn to her and responded with a headbutt, sending her flying into the wall and then it jumped back to avoid an attack from Captain Slime and the Spiny Eggs thrown at him. The Behemoth let out a roar as a meteor came right through the ceiling.
"IS THAT A METEOR?!" Captain Goomba yelled.
"LOOK OUT!" Larry yelled as the meteor slammed into the ground and exploded, the shockwave was enough to cause Lemmy to go flying, but Ludwig grabbed on to his foot and placed him on the ground.
"Thanks!" Lemmy smiled and then threw bombs at it, which dealt some damage but the Behemoth shrugged it off as lunged directly at Ludwig but he rolled out of the way, but the Behemoth turned and swatted him with his claws, knocking him over as Roy and Morton jumped up and slammed on the beast's back, hammering it repeatedly with their arms as the Behemoth let out an annoyed growl and bucked them off, breathing fire at the two before turning its attention to Captain Boo and lunged at him, but he disappeared, reappearing next to him and slapped him before flying up to avoid getting bitten by the creature.
"Coming through!" Captain Koopa said, charging at the Behemoth in his shell and slammed into his foot, which it responded by kicking him to a wall while it was pelted by Spiny Eggs, as it jumped back and unleashed Meteor on them again, where they quickly avoided the explosions while getting knocked away from the shockwaves. Larry responded by firing magic at him, which it countered harshly on the Koopaling, sending him flying.
"Of course!" Ludwig exclaimed. "Don't use magic on it! It'll just get you closer to death!"
"Ugh, now you tell us!" Larry complained as Captain Slime used Moreheal before hopping over and slashing it with his sword, which caused the Behemoth to tackle the Slime Knight and pinned him there, attempting to swipe at it repeatedly if it wasn't for Roy's quick thinking and blasted Bullet Bills at it, making it growl and got off of Captain Slime where it was then pelted by turnips by the Shy Guys.
"YOU'RE DEAD!" Captain Goomba yelled, running over and headbonking the Behemoth's head, but all it did was make him bounce off of his snout. "…Uh… aheheh…" He sweatdropped as the Behemoth swiped at him. "YOWCH!" He yelped as the Behemoth casted Meteor once more, not caring of its own health being whittled away by its prey. It could tell that this measly little group were getting exhausted. It let out a snarl and jumped back to face the whole group, not caring if it got hit by a Zappa Mechakoopa.
It let out a loud roar and launched a massive fireball up in the air, where it started to grow in size before it was big enough for the Behemoth to growl and let out a roar, where it casted Flare on the group, letting out a huge explosion that roasted the entire group, making them all yell in agony as one by one, they fell to the ground.
"U-ugh… it's too powerful!" Goomp groaned.
"Agh… is this the end for us…?" Captain Shy Guy asked.
"No… everyone is counting on us… if this thing succeeds at killing us… then what chance does the other squad have? We have to do this, otherwise the whole world will perish from this one danged Behemoth… we must prevail!" Captain Goomba said.
"Frankly… I'm pretty sure some skilled huntsmen can take this thing down…" Larry said. "But… who's to say that we can't take it out either! Captain Slime, heal us!"
"Nnngh… right!" Captain Slime said, using Omniheal on them all, re-energizing them.
"Just what we needed! Now, let's give it our all!" Captain Goomba declared as they charged directly at the Behemoth as it roared and casted Meteor, where they were hit by the explosions but their determination was enough to keep them going, not to mention some Omniheals from Captain Slime. They soon caught up the Behemoth where they attacked it with all their might, swinging their arms, rings being thrown, bombs and Bullet Bills exploding on it, turnips and Spiny Eggs thrown on its head as the Behemoth roared and breathed fire at the Elite Trio, but they avoided the attack as Paraplonk picked up Private Goomp and flew up in the air before dive bombing it, throwing Goomp at its face while Paraplonk slammed into its head.
The Behemoth roared and casted another Flare attack, but Sergeant Guy quickly pulled up a protective shield against the squad to protect them from the massive fireball as they charged at the Behemoth once more, where it clawed at them and attempted to breathe fire, but it then started to stumble, getting weaker from the onslaught of its prey. "We almost got this!" Captain Goomba yelled as they pulled all their might, hitting them with sheer ferocity as the Behemoth tried to fight back, but with its strength depleting, it sluggishly swiped at them before attempting to cast Meteor once more, where they were able to dodge and then the Behemoth opened its mouth to try to breathe a fireball, but Lemmy threw a bomb directly in its mouth and it exploded, dealing a lot of damage to it and causing it to stumble severely, and then Captain Goomba ran over and headbonked it with Goomp to deal the final blow, causing it to roar… and it fell on its side in defeat.
End BGM
"Yeah! We did it! Woo!" Captain Goomba exclaimed. "We did it!" He cheered… before he fell on his back. "Ugh… I'm exhausted…"
"Man… that took a lot out of me…" Larry said as he sat down. "Give me five minutes… or more…"
"We did it… but holy crap, I'm pooped…" Wendy groaned.
"So… we rest for five minutes before we meet up with the others?" Goomp asked.
"With a fight like that… I think we need more than five." Roy said. "Ten to fifteen, tops!"
"MORTON TIRED."
"I'm hoping the other squad is having better luck than us…" Captain Koopa said.
Meanwhile…
BGM: Fawful is There (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"Note to self… add my own image to the Behemoth to dispose of those fink-rats next time." Fawful said, writing something down on a notepad. "Call it… uh… Fawhemoth… or a Fawfulmoth… needs some work."
"Hey!" A voice caught his attention as he turned around to see the large group before him.
"Ah, if it isn't the other fink-rats." Fawful grinned. "And Princess Peach too! I have the embarrassment of not separating you from the group!"
"That was a mistake." Peach smirked.
"Give it up, bean head." Yang said. "There's like a lot of us and only you!"
"Yes, I see that. A ridiculously sized group and only one me. Just thinking about being ganged up on makes me red with fury! What should I do with all of you? Why, I know!" Fawful smirked, pressing a button as lasers rained down on top of them, blasting about a good chunk of them away onto a platform, leaving only the Mario Bros, RWBY, Neo, Junior, Peach and Daisy, preventing the others from escaping with a plasma barrier.
"Ugh! Crud… we're just gonna have to watch them!" Jade Gadd groaned.
Luminary turned his head. "Not for long we won't!" He said as they turned to see some Mechawfuls on standby along with some Dullahans, Flamethrowers, Dragon Slimes and even a Green Dragon.
Dimitri took out Areadbhar. "Looks we have no choice but to fight! You ready?" He asked as everyone took out their weapons, including Marnie who took out her Claws.
"Yes, let's!" Marnie agreed as they charged at the monsters.
"I HAVE CHORTLES! They will not last long." Fawful said.
"Oh, but you underestimate us." Ruby smirked. "We'll take you down!" She said. "Right, Scarlet?"
"Woof!" Scarlet hopped out of her hood and then got into position as WBY looked at each other and with a nod, called out their Pokemon to join Scarlet.
"Tepig!"
"Sno!"
"Purr!"
"Oh, what the heck?" Daisy shrugged and called out her Cufant. "Let's go, Argent!"
"Fant!"
"Alright, Sunshine, let's go!" Peach said, calling out her Espeon… and then another Pokeball popped open and Shurei came out.
"Bass!"
"Shurei?! I didn't call you out…" Peach sweatdropped.
"Feebas! Bass!"
"You want to help? Uh… okay." Peach nodded. "Sunshine, protect Shurei!"
"Espe!"
Mario tossed a Pokeball up in the air. "El Santo, let's go!" He called out as the Hawlucha came out.
"Hawlu!" El Santo cried while Affection joined the crew.
"Misdrea!"
Neo took out her Ball and called out Vanilla. "Vanil!"
"I… guess I'm the odd one out." Junior sweatdropped. "Oh well!"
"I have chortles! You think your Pocket Monsters can defeat me? We will see about that! Have at thee, fink-rats!"
End BGM
BGM: Fawful and Cackletta (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga plus Bowser's Minions)
Fawful called upon his Vacuum Helmet to assist him while also putting on a more stylish outfit as it fired green bolts of plasma at them as they quickly avoided such attacks as Ruby brought out her boomerang and threw it at him, where he pulled out his ray gun and shot it to deflect it back at Ruby. He grinned at Ruby before firing a shot at her, forcing her to roll out of the way as Junior jumped up with his Clown Car and swung a wrecking ball at him to hit him, but he flew up to avoid it and got hit point blank by an electrical shock. "Yow!"
"Dàhuô, Ember!" Yang ordered while she equipped her Burning Cestus and jumped over to punch Fawful.
"TEEEPIIIIIG!" Dàhuô cried, unleashing an Ember on Fawful that hit right as Fawful dodged Yang.
"Yowch! Hotness!" Fawful yelled.
"Hadoken!"
"Ooof!" Fawful winced after getting hit by the Hadoken.
Blake brought out her Shadow Whip and flicked her wrist, smacking Fawful in the face while Belle jumped over and used Fury Swipes to hit him. Fawful responded in kind by making some kind of portal and shooting his laser gun inside, hitting Daisy in the back right as she was about to Crystal Punch him. "Gah!" Daisy winced. "Cheap shot!" She growled as Fawful cackled, before getting caught by Argent's trunk and slammed him into the ground.
Fawful got back up and aimed his laser gun in the sky, pulling the trigger as star-like bullets came falling down, forcing them to dodge. "Look at you dodging around ungracefully! It is Bullet Rain! …Er… Bullet Meteors? Bullet… Hell? I'll work on it after I have the destroying of you!" He cackled and then opened up two portals, shooting one to where it hit Dàhuô behind while another bullet smacked right into Shurei. "I HAVE CHORTLES!" He laughed as he fired again, but a Shadow Ball came rushing out of the portal and slammed into him. "Ouchies!"
"Why can't we use it too?" Luigi smirked.
"Vus!" Affection smiled as Dàhuô shook it off and Shurei attempted to use Flail right on Fawful's face, Sunshine using Psychic to help her with that.
"Gah! Lousy fish!" Fawful said, swatting Shurei away and then firing at the ground to electrify the arena, but all it did was charge up Luigi and had him fire a lightning bolt at him to which Fawful yelped in pain, which has Weiss and Neo to run over and the former hit him with Eiskönigin and Neo swung her umbrella and hit him upside the head, then was hit with an Ice Shard from Frost and an Icy Wind from Vanilla. "I have the coldness… and it makes me have FURY!" Fawful yelled.
"Oh be quiet!" Peach yelled, running over and doing a Peach Bomb to knock him back and then El Santo used Flying Press to slam into him, then Mario hit him with a few fireballs.
"Tep Tep!" Dàhuô said.
"Right! Flame Charge!" Yang ordered as he ran over at Fawful.
"I do not THINK so!" Fawful yelled, firing directly at Dàhuô and hitting him head on, causing him to fall over.
"No!" Yang yelled.
"Bass! Bass!"
"Espe!" Sunshine nodded, using Psychic on the Feebas and throwing her at Fawful.
"I have chortles! Your best Pocket Monster is now bacon!" Fawful said and aimed at the Tepig. "Move and I give you bacon, literally!" He said, then noticed Shurei flying at him as he turned around and shot Shurei head on as well.
"NO!" Peach yelled.
"Espe!" Sunshine exclaimed.
"Tepig… TEP…" Dàhuô got up, shaking it off. "Tepig… TEPIG!"
"Oh, you want more? I can give it to you!" He said, shooting at the Tepig again, then noticing Shurei getting up and shot it again. "I HAVE CHORTLES! YOU MAKE THIS EASY!"
"Dammit… we have to do something!" Yang yelled, blue fire surrounding her hands and then jumped up in the air, letting out a war cry as Fawful turned around and shot her in the chest to knock her back.
"Yang!" Ruby yelled as Yang crashed on the ground, where Neo was quick to her side and knelt down to try and pick her up.
"Tepig!" Dàhuô exclaimed before turning around to glare at Fawful, and then activated Flame Charge… right as Shurei got back up and glared at Fawful, bouncing over to him with Splash as Fawful cackled and aimed at Dàhuô, shooting directly at him and hitting him head on and stopping him, but Dàhuô wasn't willing to give up and fought hard to fight back against the laser. "Tepig… TEP… TEP!"
"Dàhuô… NO!" Yang yelled.
End BGM
"TEP… PIIIIIIIIIIG!" Suddenly, Dàhuô started to glow, which was enough to surprise even Fawful and stopped pulling the trigger as Shurei got to him and Tackled him head on.
"Bass!" Shurei cried, and then she started to glow as well.
"What…?" Yang asked. "No way…"
"Determined to fight head on despite being hit by a laser… that's definitely your Pokemon, alright." Weiss said. "Almost scary how you rubbed off on him."
"Shurei… you're…" Peach whispered.
"What is with this glowingness?!"
BGM: Battle Mode Battle 1 (Pokemon Colosseum)
Once the glowing stopped, Dàhuô was now standing on two legs and had more muscle to his arms while Shurei looked more serpent-like. "PIGNIIIIIITE!"
"MILOOOOO!"
"Oh hell yeah!" Daisy exclaimed. "They just evolved!"
Peach's eyes sparkled. "Oh, this is amazing! I'm so glad I found a Prism Scale for her!"
"Dàhuô…" Yang said in awe while Neo looked at Yang with a smile. "…Oh, you are so screwed now!" She smirked. "Dàhuô, punch the hell out of him!"
"Nite!" Dàhuô nodded, unleashing Arm Thrust on a stunned Fawful while Shurei unleashed a Water Pulse on him.
"Gah! This will not do!" Fawful yelled.
"Let's knock 'em out!" Weiss said, running at Fawful and slashing him repeatedly with Eiskönigin, as Blake summoned her Belladonna Claws and slashed him repeatedly with the help of Belle and Scarlet as Fawful opened up a portal to shoot at it, but Affection shot another Shadow Ball in it along with Luigi's Thunder Hand, hitting Fawful directly. Ruby ran over and slashed at Fawful with her scythe before activating the Rose Palm and hitting him with a full blast that knocked Fawful away.
Yang looked to Neo. "What do you say, tag team?" She asked as Neo nodded with a look that screamed 'Oh hell yeah'. "Let's go!" Yang smirked as she and Neo ran directly at Fawful as the latter attempted to shoot them. "Neo!" Yang said as Neo nodded and then grabbed Yang's arm, where the laser hit them and they both disintegrated.
"Oh! That was a good shot!" Fawful said.
"Think AGAIN!" Yang said, as the real duo was behind him and Yang delivered a Shoryuken on Fawful to knock him up in the air, then she gave Neo a boost and launched her up in the air. "HADOKEN!" She yelled, launching the blue fireball to Neo as she readied herself and swung her umbrella, hitting the Hadoken as it slammed into Fawful shortly after as he crashed into the ground with a big explosion. "Yeah!" Yang smirked as Neo landed next to her. "That's the real power of the Hadoken Swing!"
"I got a better one. Baked Alaska." Neo signed.
"Oh, I like that one!" Yang grinned, high fiving her.
"Urgh…" Fawful groaned. "I can still win this!" He exclaimed, only to have a boomerang thrown at him, as he ducked under it. "You missed!" He cackled and aimed his gun at them, only for the boomerang to return and hit him on the head to knock him down in defeat.
"Gotcha!" Ruby grinned, catching her boomerang.
End BGM
"Woof!" Scarlet barked as Ruby knelt down and did a low high five on her Zorua.
"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about!" Ruby grinned.
"Ugh…" Fawful groaned as he got back up. "I HAVE FURY! I will win this for Bowletta! You will have the destroying of your doom! I-"
CRASH!
"Huh?" Fawful turned around… only to get backhanded by a gigantic claw as he was launched to a wall and made a Fawful-shaped hole in the wall. "AAAAAAH! I WILL BE BAAAAAAAAAACK!" He screamed before his screams faded away.
"YEAH! IN YOUR FACE, YOU UGLY EEJIT!"
"KOOOKIIIIIIIIE!"
"Ahahaha!" Peasley came flying over to them. "I had to guide her through the castle… or what's left of it due to her carnage!" Peasley said as Kingler let down its pincer as Gloria slid down and then Kingler shrunk back down to normal size.
"Thanks lad!"
"Kookie!" Kingler smiled as Gloria called him back and she turned around right as everyone gathered around.
"So, what'd I miss?" Gloria asked, her hands casually behind her head.
"An ass whooping." Yang said, side hugging Dàhuô. "Nice work, bud!" She smiled.
"Pignite!" Dàhuô smiled, hugging her back while Peach hugged Shurei as her Milotic nuzzled against her.
"What's with the strong man pig?" Hilda asked.
"Oh, her Tepig evolved." Claude responded.
"Ooooh, okay." Hilda nodded.
"I don't know why, but something about that pig… rubs me the wrong way." Roman mused. "Along with firecracker over here… mmm, why am I suddenly afraid?"
"Wick?" The Litwick looked at him curiously.
"Eh, it's probably nothing."
"We all have Bowletta left. You guys ready?" Byleth asked as they all nodded.
"You guys go on ahead, I've got something special to do." Peasley said and then flew off.
"Let's go." Luminary said as they all walked off to Bowletta's throne room.
Oh, the ideas you get when you watch Final Fantasy VII Remake... like i'd pass up on that opportunity!
So the PS5 thing is tomorrow... Sony, please, for the love of Hylia, show off that dang console! It's frustrating that you haven't shown it off yet! PLEASE, I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE!
