BGM: Toad Town - Inside (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
"My my, this place is growing already!" A Toad exclaimed, seeing the heroes double in size.
"So this is like, what, the hub of inside Bowser?" Leone guessed. "Heh, don't mind if I do… might as well make myself comfortable."
"We might want to go take a look around Bowser's body." Impa suggested. "We might locate our missing friends deep inside Bowser's gut."
"That's a good idea." Yang agreed. "We send a search party to go find the others."
"And that's what we'll do." Pyrrha said. "We have to find the others… surely, they have to be somewhere."
"Alright, first search party! Who's going?" Starlow asked as the two Links, Zelda, Yang, Pyrrha, Akame, Tatsumi and Mine stepped forward. "Great! This should be good."
"We'll be back!" Yang waved as the party walked off.
"Let's hope they find some people…" Ruby said.
"Oh, I'm sure they will." Mario reassured.
"Yeah… just gotta stay positive!" Ruby grinned. "Besides, it's not like we're in some sort of despairing situation, right?"
"Bingo!" Luigi grinned.

Outside Bowser…
BGM: Let's Meet in the Mysterious Forest (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
"Okay… I know you were just messing with Chippy there." Bowser said as he turned to Kyoko. "But the way you were talking to her, it was implied that there was more people inside of me. Who did I eat up?"
"Well, considering you were at Peach's Castle, it's highly likely you swallowed up a bunch of castle staff." Kyoko lied.
"Ah, so I ate up a bunch of Toads? Ha! I didn't think they had the toadstools to help yours truly out. Heh, as long as I didn't swallow up the Mario Bros and RWBY, I'm perfectly content with those weaklings trying to help clean my body."
Buddy, you have no idea… let's keep it that way. Kyoko thought.
Inside…
"He thinks you're a bunch of Toads?" Starlow wondered.
"Oh come on! I'm a Toad and even I'm insulted by that!" Toadsworth complained.
"That's… lovely." Luigi sighed.
Better than being called a Goomba… Ruby thought.
Outside Bowser…
"What's this about him swallowing Toads up?" Pyra wondered as Aoi and Kyoko gave her looks that said 'We'll tell you later'."
"…Alright, I gotta know." Bowser said, looking at Kyoko. "You said you're a detective, but what kind of detective am I dealing with here?"
Kyoko's face lit up. "Well, now that you've mentioned it…" She smirked. "You see, there's a thing in my world called the Detective Shelf Collection, or DSC for short. You have three numbers. The first number signifies what your specialty is, the second number goes into a bit more detail about the specialty. The last one signifies your rank… and the lower the number, the better you are at your job."
"Uh-huh…"
"There are nine specialties… technically ten because zero also counts. Zero is general crimes. One is your religious cri-"
"Bah, don't give me all that detail!" Bowser interrupted. "Details bore me. Give me the meat!"
Kyoko sweatdropped. "Are you sure? This is really good stuff to kno-"
"You're losing me here."
…You are definitely not one for details. Kyoko thought. "Very well, when I was roped into this job at the ripe old age of thirteen, my ID was DSC 919 - Murder - Impossible Crime - Rank 9. Now that I'm older, it's now DSC 910."
"Whoa… so what I'm hearing is, you're one of those badass detectives!" Bowser pointed out.
Kyoko let out a chuckle. "Funny, Asahina calls me that all the time."
"Well, it's true!" Aoi said with a smile.
"BWAHAHAHA!" Bowser laughed. "I knew I made the right choice with recruitin' ya!" He said, happily slapping her on the back.
"MMMPH!" Kyoko stumbled, wincing from his big hand slapping her on the back.
"Oh!" Sora and Aoi winced.
"You okay?" Aoi asked with concern.
"Definitely…" Kyoko had her hands on her knees. "…does not know… his own strength."
"Note to self… don't get pats on the back from Bowser." Terry said to himself, glancing at Bowser who was looking mighty proud of himself.
Kyoko shook it off. "Alright… could've been a lot worse… phew… but yeah, that's the gist of it."
"Good to know. Now then… let's move!" Bowser said as they started to walk off.
"Allo! Monsieur Turtle Bits and friends!"
"This guy again?" Bowser wondered as they turned to see an item shop, then they walked over to him. "What's up?"
"Ah, I would like to thank vouz for helping moi out for dealing with Broggy. In fact, here he eez." He said, pointing to the dog house as Broggy would turn to them.
"BROOF."
"So, would vouz like to get something? Perhaps vouz can take Broggy on ze walking?"
"Do I look like a dog walker to you?" Bowser responded.
"I dunno, he seems pretty chill." Mythra said.
"Yeah, I don't see why we can't walk him around. He seems nice." Pyra said.
Broggy hopped off of his home and then walked toward Bowser before noticing his wand and grabbed a hold of it. "Hey… HEY! That's my wand!" Bowser said.
"Aw, he only wants to play." Broque smiled as Broggy gently tapped on the top of the wand after chewing on it, and found himself getting absorbed into the wand.
"Broo? BROOOOOOO!" Broggy barked before going inside the wand.
"Ack!" Bowser yelped.
"Well, looks you got another summon!" Sora said nonchalantly.
In the wand…
"Where did this dog come from?!" A Goomba said. "Is it even a dog at all?!"
"BROOOF." Broggy barked and then chased after some of the Goombas.
"Better them than me." Roman said.
Out of the wand…
"Well! Now vouz can take him out on a walk to your heart's content!" Broque said.
"This feels like end game stuff, not early." Bowser said. "…BWAHAHAHA! Who cares! I am the final boss after all! I can sic this pooch on anyone that gets in our way!"
"That's the spirit!" Donald said.
"Yeah!" Sora agreed.
"…Do they not know he's a villain?" Mythra whispered to Goofy.
"Aw, let them find out." Goofy said.
"And watch them get slapped in the face with reality? …Sign me up." Mythra smirked with a chuckle.
"And… you're completely okay with this?" Kyoko asked Broque.
"Of course, mademoiselle. He gets to stretch his paws and enjoy life in ze comfort of Monsieur Turtle Bits' wand. Perfectly fine by moi!"
"Well, I guess that settles it." Aoi said. "We get to spend more time with the puppy, how delightful~!" She giggled as they walked off.
"Ah, wait a mon! Vouz forgot to buy ze items and-… they're gone. Aww… I never get good business out here."
The group walked ahead, dealing with a few Treevils and Trashures that got in their way as they kept going, and as they did, they heard some groaning up ahead.

BGM: Have A Nice Talk (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
"Nnngh! Hrrrrgh… gaaaah!"
"Gah… I'm beat… this Bill Blaster ain't going anywhere…"
"Yeah, that should be the perfect spot."
"What do you mean?! Sergeant Guy and I did all the heavy lifting, Paraplonk! You weren't doing anything!"
"I was supervising. There was no way I was gonna push that thing." Paraplonk defended.
"Gah… well, at least we're set." Goomp said. "Can't believe we're the only ones who made it out…"
"Yeah, fine time for Kamek, General Guy, the Koopalings and Lord Junior to run off… not to mention Lord Roman, Lady Neo and Lady Marnie have disappeared on us too." Sergeant Guy sighed.
"I thought she wasn't part of the Koopa Troop? She does tend to help the others out more." Goomp said.
"Well, she does tend to stick around us all the time." Paraplonk pointed out. "Heck, the other day, I think I heard her say that we grew on her or something to Kamek. I could be wrong."
"Eh, that's probably just her being nice… but seriously, other than them… where the heck is Lord Bowser! He disappears and everything goes nuts." Sergeant Guy said. "Gaaah! Lord Bowser, where are you!"
"I'm right here!"
The Elite Trio turned to face Bowser and the others. "Ah! Lord Bowser! You have… friends with you?" Goomp wondered. "Ah, doesn't matter… the more the merrier!"
"What's up? What's with the giant Bill Blaster?" Bowser asked.
"Ah, you see… as soon as you left, the castle was attacked by Fawful and this pig guy and they turned everything upside down. We escaped but the minions aren't so lucky." Paraplonk explained.
"So it's true… Fawful did take over the caaaa- WAIT A MINUTE!" Bowser yelled. "Tell me my son and my sister are okay!"
"They left for some… task, I'm not sure where they went, but the Koopalings, Kamek, General Guy and Lady Marnie went with them." Sergeant Guy reported, causing Bowser to breathe a sigh of relief.
"As long as those guys are keeping an eye on Junior and he's not hurt, then that's fine with me." Bowser said.
"I didn't know you were a father." Sora said.
"That's right! I'm a proud father!" Bowser said. "Anyone wants to hurt him, he'll have to go through me!"
"That's cool!" Sora said, pulling out a water bottle and started drinking water that he filled up from the Sea Pipe Statue while Bowser was drinking.
"Gawrsh, you must be proud of your son." Goofy smiled.
"Damn straight! He's my pride and joy."
"Aww, it reminds me of Maxie, my own son." Goofy said, causing Sora to do a spit take.
"YOU'RE A DAD?!" Sora yelled in surprise.
"Yup!"
"And I'm just finding out about this NOW?!" Sora said.
"Ah'hyuck! You never asked!" Goofy smiled, pulling out a wallet. "See? Here's all the times I've spent with Max!" He said, giving it to Sora. "I even went on a father son trip with him before he went off to college!"
"Sheesh… like father like son!" Sora said, looking through the album.
"Let me take a look. Aww! He looks so cute!" Aoi gushed.
"Oooh, definitely has the mood of a typical teenager." Mythra said.
"Aww, he has a girlfriend!" Pyra giggled.
"Definitely likes skateboarding…" Terry mused.
"So! While those guys are oggling over a kid, what are you planning on doing with this Bill Blaster?" Bowser asked.
"Ah, ya see… we're aiming this right at your castle to take out Fawful." Paraplonk said.
"Ah, so you're gonna fire a Banzai Bill at my own castle to take out that little bean freak. Excellent!" Bowser grinned.
"You're okay with destroying your own castle?" Kyoko raised an eyebrow.
"Bah, I was planning on renovating it anyway. Hitting it with a Banzai Bill is good motivation."
Kyoko sweatdropped. "I… see. That makes sense, I suppose." He's so flippant on caring about his underlings and not caring at the same time…
"Now then!" Bowser grinned. "Let's fire this bad boy and watch Fawful get destroyed! Bwahahaha!"
The Elite Trio sweatdropped. "Ah, you see… we… don't have any ammo." He said, causing Bowser to stop laughing. "We don't have a Banzai Bill."
"IDIOTS!" He roared. "This is why the Mario Bros and RWBY keeps kicking our asses! There are possibly hundreds of Banzai Bills that Mario jumped on to disarm them! There's got to be plenty around here somewhere! GET TO FINDING THEM!"
"Ack! Right away sir!" The Elite Trio exclaimed and then they split up.
"…Ya know, it wouldn't hurt to find a Banzai Bill yourself." Kyoko said.
"What are you talking about? I was going to." Bowser said and walked off.
"Right…" Kyoko rolled her eyes and walked off with the others following behind him.

"So we have to find a Banzai Bill… what does one even look like?" Sora wondered.
"Picture a missile with a face up front and a never ending smile." Bowser said.
"Oooh, fancy!"
"Sounds terrifying…" Pyra said with Aoi nodding in agreement.
"Sounds awesome!" Mythra said as they wandered around until they came across a farm.
"What in the world…" Bowser looked around. "Carrots, radishes… who the heck FARMS in this kingdom?"
"Ah, more visitors." A voice said as a Squiggler approached them. "Hello there, welcome to Wiggler Farm, where you will find the healthiest of vegetables here. By order of Princess Peach, the kingdom has gotten a lot healthier with organic foods!"
"Bah… of course Peach had something to do with it." Bowser mumbled.
"A healthy body is a healthy mind. Would you like some vegetables?"
"No! I don't care about any of this crap. You got any meat? Specifically drumsticks or Sirloin Steaks?"
The Squiggler sweatdropped. I think I found the little guy's father. He thought. "We don't have any meat. We only have the finest of vegetables. Meat is not good for the body."
"Bah, you're useless! Out of my way, bug!" Bowser said as he marched off.
"Oh!" The Squiggler moved to the side. "He reminds me of so much like the little guy."
"Little guy?" Kyoko sounded intrigued.
"Indeed. A little mini version of him and his posse was here earlier and he was the same way as him, though he did want a New York Steak."
"That must sound like his son." Aoi said.
Like father like son. Kyoko thought as they walked into the garden and saw the giant Giga Carrot.
"Wow! That's the biggest carrot I've seen." Bowser said as they approached it. "Hmm, well, it's not a Banzai Bill but I can imagine this can do some damage to the castle…"
"Hmm?" Kyoko would spot a bite mark off of the carrot. "Hey Bowser, take a look at this. It seems like someone already took a bite out of it."
"Huh?" Bowser took a look. "Hmm… I need a better angle of this." He said as he put his hands together and started to pull it up. "Mmm, I don't know why but it feels like someone already loosened it!" He said. "Still… a pain to get out though!"
Inside…
"You heard the big guy! Let's power him up!" Starlow said.
"Yeah!" Nora grinned as she and the Mario Bros took off.
"Yang might be right… this might definitely bite us in the butt later." Ruby said.
One powered up Bowser later with the help of Nora and the Bros…
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Bowser yelled, picking up the massive carrot and slamming it on the ground. "There we go! Bwahaha!" He chuckled as he and Kyoko decided to look at the bite mark together. "Hmm… someone did take a bite out of it by the looks of it."
"Indeed, but who could have done that?" Kyoko wondered.
"STOP! THIEVES!" A voice yelled as a Wiggler crawled out of the hole. "You there! You're going to haul that carrot away, aren't yo-"
"Yeah yeah, we'll be with you in a second." Kyoko dismissed him while still looking at the bite mark.
"HUH?!" Wiggler yelled in surprise.
"Hmm, judging by the shape and size of the bite mark… yup, I recognize this anywhere."
"AHEM!" Wiggler yelled.
"I said we'll be with you in a second. Chill." Kyoko said. "You know where it's from?"
"Yup, I recognize it anywhere. My son was here! …What was he doing in a low grade farm like this?" He wondered.
"Maybe he wanted to try out veggies?" Terry guessed.
"Bah! We Koopas are carnivores! We don't know the meaning of vegetarians!" Bowser said, causing everyone to sweatdrop.
"HEY!" Wiggler yelled.
"What!" Bowser yelled. "What is so important that you want to butt in just like that! Do you NOT know the meaning of patience!"
You're one to talk. Kyoko thought.
"You're trying to steal the Giga Carrot that's been in our Wiggler family for generations! It was my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's-"
"Booooring." Bowser said. "No one cares about a giant bug's generation."
"Augh! Why, I never!" Wiggler huffed.
"By the way, do you have a Banzai Bill?" Bowser asked.
"A Banzai Bill? Oh yes! One fell into our garden and I stored it away. I take care of it often."
"Perfect! Now give us the Banzai Bill."
"Hold it! First, you gotta take responsibility." Wiggler said. "You can't just leave the carrot on the ground right there. You have to eat it! Take responsibility."
"Huh?! No way, pal. I ain't eating an overgrown veggie!" Bowser protested.
"No carrot eating, no Banzai Bill."
"Ugh, fine… you got any hot sauce?"
"By the way, you have to eat this carrot in under a minute Think of it like a challenge."
"A MINUTE?!" Everyone, even Kyoko, yelled in surprise.
"How can you eat something like that under a minute?! That's impossible!" Mythra said.
"Yeah, that can't be done!" Pyra agreed.
"Ah! There are these special enzymes in these carrots that can help you digest them faster. So it's not a big deal." Wiggler said.
"…Mind if I have a little taste first?" Bowser asked.
"Sorry, no tasting. That's against the rules."
"Well, hate to break it to ya, but it looks like someone already took a bite out of it."
"WHAT?!" Wiggler yelled as he took a look at the bite mark. "But… but… this is wasteful! You can't just take a chunk out of it and leaving it alone! WHERE'S THE RESPONSIBILITY?!" He yelled.
Kyoko, seeing this opportunity, turned to the others. "Find that Banzai Bill. It should be around here somewhere."
"You got it!" Terry nodded as they split up, with the Disney Trio hopping into the hole.
"Isn't that kinda illegal?" Aoi asked.
"Well, we did trespass." Kyoko pointed out. "We've already broken the law here, what's one more criminal charge to us right now?"
"Fair enough." Aoi nodded as she took off to find the Banzai Bill.
"Alright… I'll see what I can do here." Bowser said. "Under a minute, you say? I got this in the bag."

Meanwhile, at the Gut Check…
"Seriously? No one's in here?" Mine wondered. "I guessed I reached a dead end." She said when suddenly she heard rumbling. "Hmm?"
She curiously approached the area when suddenly a bunch of carrots dropped into his stomach. "Ewwww! What is this, carrots?! Blegh… I did not need to see that! Gah… this must be his stomach!"
"Excuse me!" Starlow came flying over. "I couldn't help but overhear what Bowser was saying. Apparently we need to clear these carrots to make room for more… and it appears we have a minute to do so."
"A minute?! And we have to get rid of all of this?!" She said. "Ew, I'm not touching that crap!" She protested, but then had an idea. "But I know someone who might." She said, taking out Pumpkin.
BGM: Minigame (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
"I'm gonna shoot 'em all!" She said, getting on her knee and started shooting the carrot bits, and after blasting a few chunks, a red enzyme appeared in front of her as she shot at it, which sent a shockwave that destroyed the carrot bits. "Yeah! That's what I'm talking about!" She smirked as more carrots started raining down, as she noticed one of them started to glow.
One of them glowed… that must be important. Mine thought, making a mental note of where it landed as she shot at the specific piece, and then the enzyme appeared. Perfect! She smirked and shot it, completely obliterating the enzyme.
"Oh, it's working!" Starlow said.
"Never in my life would I think I'd be shooting carrots, but ya know what? It's a nice change of pace from fightin' Grimm!" She said, shooting at the targets and annihilating them.
End BGM
"BWAHAHAHAHA! Get a load of me!" Bowser declared.
"Wow! Thirty seconds tops. New record!"
"Thirty seconds. Nice." Mine smirked as she walked away with a hum. "Nice job, Pumpkin~!" She giggled.
Back up top…
"Alright, so that's taken care of." Bowser dusted his hands off. "So, about that Banzai Bill…"
"Banzai Bill? What Banzai Bill?" Wiggler asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about? A deal's a deal… so where is it?"
"FOUND IT!" Sora called out as he jumped out and used Magnega to help Donald and Goofy push it out. "Definitely a bigger missile than I thought it'd be." He said as the others returned.
"AAAAAH!" The Wiggler yelled. "First you break and enter into my home, then you eat the carrot and NOW you're stealing from me?!" He yelled as he was turning red. "That Banzai Bill is rightfully mine! I'm not letting you take it!"
"Whoa! Where is this attitude coming from?!" Bowser demanded.
"I'm not denying that the breaking and entering, that's entirely on us… but…" Kyoko formed a really annoyed frown. Her eyes was slowly turning into a glare. "You are denying that you had a Banzai Bill and here it is, plain as day. You weren't going to hold your end of the bargain and you in fact lied that you had one."
"YOU DID NOT TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY!" Wiggler yelled, now completely red.
"You asked Bowser to take responsibility and he did, but now you're going back on your word? …Nothing upsets me more than people like you not holding up their end of the bargain."
"I feel the same way." Pyra said as she stepped forward. "Here you are wasting our time when we could've left a long time ago, but here you are throwing a hissy fit because Bowser took responsibility?"
"HE BESMIRCHED MY FAMILY'S GENERATION! HE MUST PAY! I WILL TURN HIM INTO COMPOST!"
"If you're not willing to hold your end of the bargain… then you leave us with no choice." Kyoko said, pulling out her Megaphone Gun as Bowser cracked his knuckles and flashed his claws while Pyra readied her sword.
"Okay… I'll just put this Banzai Bill over here…" Terry said as he picked it up and sat it down, and right on cue, several Heartless started popping up. "Oh!"
"Looks like the Heartless got attracted to his rage." Sora said, noticing Creeper Plants, Power Wilds and Parasol Beauties amongst them, but he noticed two other Heartless that he didn't even recognize.
One had a bluish gray face with green hair with vines coming out of it, there's a small brown ripped poncho that had the Emblem while it also wore a gray shirt, brown pants and brown shoes. There was a middle bracelet on its arm that has a vine attaching from the wrist to its shirt on its left arm, and it also had a vine whip. This Heartless… was named Plant Giant.
The other Heartless was a brown bear with red colored arms and blue colored legs. This Heartless was named… Grizzly. The Emblem was on his chest.
"I'm not sure what these two are called… but I'll figure it out later!" Sora said, summoning his Ultima. "Come on guys, let's take out these Heartless while Bowser takes care of that overgrown bug!"
"Right!" Aoi nodded as they split up.
Bowser smirked. "Now then… let's compost his face! SHOWTIME!"
BGM: SHOWTIME! (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story plus Bowser Jr's Journey)
Hypocritical Caterpillar - Wiggler
Wiggler rushed over at Bowser and charged at him, but Bowser would use an uppercut to knock the Wiggler back and then Kyoko would shoot at a few segments, turning them back to yellow. Pyra conjured up a fireball and threw it at a segment to turn it yellow.
Wiggler stood up and then watered a few plants and threw turnips at the group, but Pyra would slash through them effortlessly as Wiggler went back down as Bowser breathed fire and turned the last segment yellow with his flames. "Oooh…" Wiggler groaned, turning back to normal.
"There we go!" Bowser smirked as he ran forward and delivered a powerful blow to his face to knock him back, but after getting socked in the face, he immediately turned red again.
"Apparently, hitting him in the face immediately makes him red again." Kyoko said.
"Got any bright ideas?" Pyra asked.
"We get creative."
"Heh! Got ya." Bowser smirked as a few Leaf Guys came flying over and pelted them with turnips but Bowser breathed fire at the turnips to disintegrate them, where Pyra jumped up in the air and used Blazing End to take out the Leaf Guys, then the Aegis Sword returned to her right as Kyoko shot the segments to get Wiggler back to normal.
Bowser jumped toward Wiggler and then jumped up and body pressed him, then slammed him into the ground where Pyra unleashed Flame Nova for additional damage, then Bowser punched him away. Wiggler got back up and yelled angrily, turning red again as he rushed at Kyoko to try and slam into her, but she rolled out of the way and counter by shooting a segment yellow.
A few more Leaf Guys came in and started throwing turnips at the trio as Kyoko aimed and fired at the Leaf Guys as Wiggler charged behind her, but Pyra would rush in and attack him with a Prominence Revolt to keep him at bay, knocking him over as Bowser Bowser Bombed him to squish him for insult to injury, then Pyra turned her attention to the Leaf Guys and helped Kyoko take them down.
Bowser grabbed the Wiggler by the head and then tossed him to the ground, burning him with his fire breath. "GAAAAH! UNCLE! UUUUNCLE!" Wiggler yelled.
With Sora…
"Nnngh!" Sora grunted, getting hit by the Plant Giant's vine whip as he quickly unleashed a Triple Firaga to damage it, but it used its vine to grab a hold of the Ultima and then yanked it off of Sora's hand and caused it to fly off.
Immediately, Sora dodged a shockwave after it stomped its feet into the ground. With a smirk, he proceeded to resummon his Keyblade… but as he did, a new blade appeared in his hands. "Huh?" He wondered as he looked at his new Keyblade.
The Keychain was a silver rose, the handle was square shaped and having symbols of each of Remnant's four kingdoms in the corners, the blade was long and black with some bone like attachments with red markings on them. The Teeth was the broken moon of Remnant.
Huh, cool! Sora thought as he immediately rushed at the Plant Giant and slashed at it a few times before dodge rolling out of the way and got into position. Let's see this new Shotlock in action. He thought as he aimed at the Plant Giant and unleashed a flurry of red dust at it, where fiery explosions ht the Plant Giant and destroyed it.
He then turned around and saw a Grizzly giving Aoi trouble with its fire breath attack. Sora rushed over at the Grizzly with an Airstep and slashed it a few times before hitting it with a Blizzaga, then he jumped back and went into a Form Change.
His Keyblade formed into a scythe, where the handle made it look like it was made from a Grimm with the end of the scythe being rather similar to Crescent Rose itself. Sora rushed over and then slashed the Grizzly a few times with it, twirling the scythe around like what Ruby tends to do and then slashed it away as he got into position and pulled back a lever, proceeding to shoot out small bursts of Blizzagas as if it was a gun.
Sora then jumped back as he aimed his Scythe Keyblade at the Grizzly where it unwittingly joined a few Power Wilds. "Here we GO!" He yelled, unleashing a Ragnarok… only this time, the fireballs are shaped like rose petals. The Ragnarok hit the Grizzly and the Power Wilds, completely destroying them in an explosion as rose petals gently fell to the ground.

"That takes care of that." Sora chuckled.
"That… was cool!" Aoi said, her eyes sparkling.
"Ugh, you guys are mean… take that Banzai Bill and get out of here!" Wiggler cried as he took off.
"That's what we were gonna do, bonehead!" Bowser said as he picked up the Banzai Bill. "Sheesh, the nerve of that guy."
"Agreed. Let's get out of here." Kyoko said as they walked off. "Thanks for the help, Pyra."
"You're welcome!" Pyra smiled.
"So let me get this straight." Mythra said. "That Keyblade is the only thing able to completely destroy a Heartless. If you destroy it by any other means, they'll just temporarily go away until they come back?"
"Pretty much." Sora nodded.
"I was wondering why they wouldn't let up…" Terry said.
"Well, if it means making them disappear for a while, then that's fine by me. If those pests want to come back and want another beating, then by all means… I'll tear them into two again." Mythra said.
"It is a bit annoying… but it is what it is, I guess." Aoi shrugged as they continued walking… but then Bowser started to groan.
"Oooogh…!" He groaned. "Gaaaah!" He held on to his stomach.
"Got a stomach ache?" Aoi asked.
"I do! Mmmph!"
"Well, you were eating that carrot kinda fast." Kyoko pointed out.
"Rrrrgh! Chippy… can you hear me!" Bowser said.
"Loud and clear. What's up?"
"Can you… go see what the deal is with this stomach problem! Gaaaah!"
"I'll see what me and the "Toads" can do!" Starlow said.

Inside…
"Alright! Bowser's getting stomach cramps!" Starlow said. "We oughta help him out."
"Then let's go help him out! He probably ate a bad piece of the carrot." Ruby said.
"Let's-a go!" Mario said.
"Uh… shouldn't we organize a team here?" Luigi advised. "I know we have a lot of us inside of Bowser but let's be honest… going all at once sounds overkill."
"Good point." Ruby nodded. "Let's see… who should we take with us… oh! I know!"
A minute later…
"Alright! Let's go see what's troublin' the big guy!" Leone exclaimed as she, Sheele, Daisy, and Impa were picked.
"Yeah!" Ruby nodded, readying her scythe.
"Lot of females." Luigi pointed out. "Then again, the last group was the exact same way."
"Ah, you get used to it." Mario chuckled.
"You say that like it's a bad thing since I'm here." Daisy teased, causing Luigi to chuckle sheepishly as they headed off where Starlow would look around and spot a glowing area.
"Over here!" Starlow said.
"Think that's where the search party went?" Impa wondered.
"I doubt it." Leone responded. "Still, wouldn't surprise me if they went in and came out empty handed."
"More than likely." Sheele agreed as they walked into the Nerve Cluster where they would walk straight ahead… until the ground started to shake.
"Huh? What's going on?" Mario wondered.
"I don't like this." Ruby said as they readied their weapons… until a massive caterpillar burst through a wall, as they heard Bowser roaring in pain over it.
"Guess we found the problem." Leone said.
"Is that a… female Wiggler?" Ruby wondered.
"Oh hi there!" Starlow flew over. "You're kinda cute. Are you the one that's making a mess inside Bowser's body?"
Suddenly, a few Biffidus dropped from the ceiling and landed in front of them. "Oh! What are these guys?" Daisy asked.
"I think they might be white blood cells." Sheele guessed, and then suddenly, the caterpillar started eating the Biffidus, growing larger as she did so.
"WHAT THE?!" Ruby yelled.
"Definitely not a Wiggler!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Welp… guess we're not going anywhere!" Luigi said as they got ready to fight.

Grumpy, Grumpy Caterpillar - Durmite
Durmite hunched up and shot herself to Ruby, forcing her to roll out of the way and slashed at her, then jumped back and started shooting her with some Fire Dust. Mario and Luigi jumped over and started swinging their hammers at it while Daisy ran over and punched it cleanly in the snout.
Durmite roared and tackled Daisy, but she rolled out of the way as Impa rushed over and slashed at her a few times with her Devoted Kodachi and then jumped back right as a few Biffidus came into play and aimed their spears at them. Impa smirked and aimed her hands at the three, as a few Sheikah symbols appeared above them as she quickly rushed through them and gained a few holographic clones as they proceeded to attack Durmite head on.
"Whoa…" Ruby said as Leone lunged ahead and delivered mighty blows to Durmite and then used an uppercut to knock her high into the air as she jumped up and axe kicked her to the ground. Durmite sprang back up and dodged the attacks Impa gave her and charged into her head on, knocking her back. As she tackled her, they noticed a green aura surrounding her for a few seconds.
"She got healed up from a successful hit?" Luigi asked after using his Thunder Hand on Daisy to charge up a Crystal Punch, then Daisy ran ahead and punched her to stun her for a bit.
"Then we shouldn't let her hit us!" Daisy said as Ruby shot at Durmite to catch her attention as Durmite rushed forward at Ruby, quickly spitting out a silky web to grab a hold of her, but Ruby used her Semblance to get out of the way as she noticed more Diffidus coming to Durmite's aid.
"Alright… time to see what this spell book can do." Ruby said, pulling it out. Let's hope you gave me a good one, Pit! She thought and looked into it. "Wolfra Charga!" She chanted as several images of wolves appeared next to Ruby and charged at Durmite, tackling her and biting her before disappearing. Ooooh, wolf magic… nice! He got me a good one!
Durmite pulled out a straw and planted it on the tissue, started to drink out of it as she felt herself powered up as she launched herself up in the air and landed on the ground and made a shockwave that knocked Daisy and Leone to the ground.
That straw powered her up! Sheele thought. She can heal on a successful hit and can get powered up with that straw. She batted away a Biffidus. If I'm not mistaken, that straw might heal herself up… I better use my semblance! She thought and rushed over to Durmite, readying her scissorblade.
Durmite noticed this and put the straw away as she rushed at Sheele as both of them charged at each other. Here we go! Sheele thought. "EXTASE!" She yelled, as a bright light shimmered from her blade and blinded Durmite as she slashed through her, as it roared in pain. It didn't exactly cut her in half, but it did leave a nasty cut on her skin. "…I'm sorry." She whispered as she jumped back as Durmite snarled at Sheele and tried to tackle her but Impa and her clones got on top of her and pinned her down, then Impa jumped off.
"Steel yourself!" She said, making handsigns as her clones rushed through Durmite and put down explosive barrels near Durmite as Impa put her kodachi away with a smirk, then the barrels exploded as Durmite went flying into the air where Leone and Mario jumped up in the air and punched/hammered Durmite toward the ground as she roared in agony before falling limp in defeat.
End BGM
"And that's how we do it!" Leone grinned, high fiving Mario as they then saw Durmite shrinking down and then scurrying off in a hurry.
"Shouldn't we kill it?" Impa wondered.
"Nah… leave it. Not like it'll do any harm now." Ruby said as they started to walk off. "That's a nice semblance you have!"
"Oh, thank you!" Sheele smiled as they walked further ahead until a few Biffidus threw down their spears from the ceiling.
"Oh crap!" Daisy exclaimed.
"Let's get out of here!" Mario said as they started running, but then several of them got in the way and drilled through the tissue, causing them to fall into a pit.
"Gah!" Leone yelled. "Great! NOW what?"
"Looks like we're trapped down here." Ruby sighed.
"Unfortunately." Mario nodded.
"I know that voice, by boogity! Mario? Ruby?"
The group turned to see Toadbert, and he wasn't alone. Blake, Lubbock, Winter and Esdeath were near him. Blake was reading a book, Lubbock was lying on his back, Winter was meditating and Esdeath was filing her nails. "Guys! Look who it is!" Toadbert said.
"Hmm?" Blake looked up and saw the group. "Guys!" She smiled as she got up and happily hugged Ruby tightly.
"Oh! Nice to see you too, Blake!" Ruby giggled, hugging her back as Blake nuzzled into her neck. "Uh… Blake? Are you purring?"
Blake opened her eyes, blushing. "Uh… sorry…" She said as she pulled away.
"Let me guess, you guys were attacked by those things too?" Toadbert asked as they nodded. "Thought so."
"We've heard a commotion and we came to see what was going on." Esdeath said. "Next thing we knew, Winter and I were ambushed by those things."
"We tried to hold them off, but some of them snuck past us and caused us to fall in here, which was where we met up with Blake, Lubbock and Toadbert." Winter explained.
"Ugh… talk about embarrassing…" Lubbock mumbled.
"Yes, indeed." Toadbert nodded. "But we did come across this…" He said, reverring to a blue nerve on a wall. "Not sure what it does, but I'm not brave enough to figure out what it is." He said as Luigi walked over and gave a good swing with his hammer, which caused it to light up.
"Uh, honey? What did you do?" Daisy sweatdropped as they saw the door behind them opening up. "Oh!"
"Huh, we could have escaped a long time ago…" Toadbert sweatdropped. "Awkward!"
"Come on, let's head back to Toad Square." Mario said as they walked off.
"Have you found our teammates yet?" Blake asked.
"Well, Yang was with us from the start… but we can't seem to locate Weiss yet." Ruby explained. "A search party went off to find other people… so here's hoping."
"I suppose we ought to form a search party on our own and locate Weiss." Esdeath said. "She's all alone after all…"
"Agreed." Winter nodded. "And given how her panic attacks are always random… it's better if we find her fast."
"Right." Esdeath agreed as they walked off with the group.
Up above…
"Huh… odd, my stomachache is gone but now my arm is all tingly." Bowser said. "Hmm… I feel like I wanna…" He turned around and got a running start and punched, doing a Sliding Punch as he burst through several boulders. "HA HA! I'M ALL JUICED UP, BABY! WAHOOO!"
Down below…
"Something tells me we powered him up again." Mario said.
Luigi sweatdropped. "Welp, we're screwed when we fight him again…"
Back outside…
"Sounds like you're back in your A game." Kyoko said.
"Damn right! Let's go!" Bowser said as they walked off with the group right behind him as they returned to the clearing… and saw the Eite Trio.
"Anything on your end?" Paraplonk asked.
"Nada." Goomp said.
"Nope."
"Gaaaah, I'm empty too." Paraplonk mumbled. "Why did Lord Bowser have to tell us to do something while he does nothing? I mean, the dude's lazy."
"Mhm, not to mention stupid and focuses on one thing at a time." Sergeant Guy said.
"And he gets his butt kicked by teenagers all the time." Goomp said. "Not to mention he destroyed the universe."
"Yeah, he's selfish, arrogant, unfit for duty-"
THUD!
The Banzai Bill landed between the three, causing them to sweatdrop and paled at the same time. "And TOTALLY an awesome king!" Sergeant Guy gulped as they turned to Bowser who was looking pretty annoyed with them.
"We totally didn't mean all of that, we swear!" Paraplonk waved his arms frantically.
"Sure you didn't." Bowser grumbled. "Load it up in the Bill Blaster on the double!"
"SIR YES SIR!"
The Elite Trio put the Banzai Bill into the Bill Blaster and aimed directly at Bowser's Castle. "Ready… aim… FIIIIRE!" Goomp yelled as the Banzai Bill launched off to Bowser's Castle.
"Heheheh, let's see him dodge that."
At Bowser's Castle…
"Ack!" A brainwashed Goomba exclaimed. "Lord Midbus! We have a problem!" He said as Midbus was sitting in Bowser's throne.
"What is it?" Midbus asked.
"We have a Banzai Bill heading straight for us! It appears it came from Dimble Wood!"
"Bowser, so that's his plan, hmm?" Midbus mused.
"Lord Fawful is here too! He'll get hurt!"
"Commence countermeasures on the double."
"Commencing countermeasures!" The Goomba exclaimed as they rushed off and once the Banzai Bill got closer, the castle lifted itself off the ground and dodged the Banzai Bill.
"Take us to Dimble Wood." Midbus ordered as the castle flew off.
Back at Dimble Wood…
"Oh, I wish I brought by telescope with me! I can't tell if it hit or not!" Paraplonk said. "Wait a minute… something's coming incredibly fast!"
"What is it?" Pyra called to him.
"It's… it's… HOLY CRAP!" Paraplonk yelled as he dove out of the way right as the castle stopped just above Bowser.
"Huh? Did it get dark all of a sudden?"
"Bowser! Move!" Kyoko yelled. "It's your castle!"
"What about my castle?" Bowser wondered.
"ABOVE YOU!" Aoi yelled, and then the castle slammed on top of Bowser. "NO!" She screamed as everyone else stood there in shock. "No… NO!"
Kyoko gritted her teeth. Chippy, if that's even your name… I hope you have something up your sleeve. She thought as the Disney Trio, Terry and the Blades tried desperately to get the castle off of Bowser while Aoi fell on her knees, tears forming in her eyes.
Inside…
"I mean, it's not much… but we have found Jaune, Bulat and Najenda!" Tatsumi said with Nora hugging Jaune tightly. "…Now why did it go dark all of a sudden?"
"Did Bowser do something dumb?" Yang wondered as a Emoglobin came flying in frantically.
"You three!" It said, referring to the Bros and Ruby. "You must come quickly. Our host is in danger!"
"Danger?" Ruby wondered as she and the Bros took off running towards Bowser's Rump Command. Starlow quickly following after them.
"Something has happened to our host. We are not sure what, but if we do not act fast, he will perish and all of us will go with him."
"Wait WHAT?!" Luigi yelled. "What happened to Bowser that caused him to be in such a state?!"
"I don't know, but we must hurry!" Mario said as they ran into the Rump Command where they were greeted by purple globins.
"Greetings, travelers. We are Evoglobins. Our master is in grave peril, and you three must go into the Boats of Revival to revive him. You must do so quickly, or all will perish."
"We'll do what we can." Ruby nodded.
"Be warned, travelers. This boost of adrenaline may hold a powerful aura to our host. It was first found when Bowser was a young Koopa. His friend Kamek turned him giant… but he unwittingly gave him something that has been locked for a long time. We know not what it may hold… but it may give him something we call… Fury."
"The seal has been weakening for years, and the seal is at its weakest. If it is awakened… then there's no telling what will happen to the Mushroom Kingdom."
"We'll keep an eye out for it." Mario said as the trio got into the Boats of Revival and took off.
"Wait up!" Starlow said as she flew after them.
BGM: Minigame
"Okay, so what are we supposed to do?" Ruby asked.
"Hmm, if I'm not mistaken…" Starlow mused as a red aura came flying down as Mario instinctively shot it to make it fly off. "Oh! If you shoot the respective colors, then it should be able to revive Bowser!" She said as a green one came flying down as Luigi shot it, then a silver one came flying down and Ruby shot it.
"Ooooh, silver! That definitely goes great with your silver eyes." Starlow said. "Let's see if you can get Bowser up and running!" She exclaimed as the trio proceeded to shoot at their respective targets and once they were all filled, a large blue energy ball came flying down.
"What about this one?" Luigi asked.
"Uh… shoot at it! All of you at the same time!" Starlow guessed as the trio did so as the blue energy got bigger while also shooting out colored shots that forced them to dodge as they kept shooting it at until it started glowing brightly and flew off, where Bowser's entire body started to rumble.
"It worked! Bowser's moving again!"
End BGM
Outside…
"Muh muh muh muh…" Midbus looked down at the group. "Struggle all you want. Bowser is not coming back."
"Coward!" Kyoko spat.
"Minions! Deal with these interlopers! Destroy the rest of them!"
"Oh, I am SO turning him into bacon when we're done here!" Mythra growled.
"On my mark!" Midbus said as everyone got ready to fight them. "ATTA-" Suddenly, the castle started to rumble. "Muh wuh?!"
BGM: Stand and Fight, Luigi! (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team)
"Look!" Donald pointed to the ground as the castle was lifting itself off the ground.
"What in the…" Sergeant Guy wondered as Bowser suddenly grew gigantic as he tossed his own castle to the side.
"Bowser?!" Aoi said in shock as Bowser got in a stance and let out a gigantic roar that was heard throughout the Kingdom.
"Oui! So big!" Broque exclaimed from afar. "So very big! Oui!"
"Is that Lord Bowser?!" Captain Slime said in surprise. "Wait… there are tanks heading for his direction. Do not let those tanks get to His Nastiness!"
"Aye aye!"
"Wak! He's huge!" Donald exclaimed as Sora had an idea and airstepped toward Bowser's shoulder, standing comfortably on his broad shoulder.
"WHAT IS THAT?!" A Goomba yelled.
"He's grown huge… as is his cheating!" Midbus said. "All hands on deck! We must take down this gigantic Koopa!"
Bowser let out a giant roar. "You ready, big guy?" Sora asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be!" Bowser said. "Time to do some renovations! SHOOOOWTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!"

Home To Be Renovated - Bowser's Castle
"Ready the sentry cannons!" Midbus ordered as cannons popped out of the corners of Bowser's Castle and aimed directly at them.
"I got this!" Sora said, using Thundaga on the Sentry Cannons to severely damage them. Bowser decided to breathe fire at the castle.
"Rrrgh! Fire will not stop this!" Midbus said. "Ready the secret weapon!" He ordered as airships with Fawful's face came flying out and charged at Bowser.
"He rearranged my airships?! That good for nothing…!" Bowser growled, breathing fireballs at them to shoot them out of the sky as he delivered a mighty uppercut to knock an airship into the sky where a star shined brightly in the sky.
Bowser walked forward to the castle and pulled back his fist, delivering a solid punch that sent the castle sliding, and then walked over and did another one, but the drawbridge lowered hard and slammed into Bowser's foot. "GAH!" He yelped as he took a step back.
"Looks like he's using the drawbridge against you…" Sora said.
"I can see that!" Bowser said as he breathed fire, but then a large water cannon came out and extinguished his flames with water. "Gah!" He growled as he took a running start and used a SLiding Punch that made Bowser's Castle slide back as he did an uppercut right after.
"Use both of them!" Midbus ordered as the drawbridge started slamming on the ground repeatedly to try and crush Bowser's toes while the water cannon aimed at Bowser to prevent him from breathing fire. "Muh muh muh. What will you do now, Bowser?"
"Looks like we're gonna have to do something special." Sora said.
"Do you have something in mind?"
"Hmm… oh, I know!" Sora said as he closed his eyes and concentrated. "Here we go!" He exclaimed, jumping off of Bowser's shoulder as Sora summoned a gigantic ship, where unlike how it looked like it belonged to Disney World, this time the ship had Bowser's aethestics as fire was shooting out from underneath instead of water. Bowser's symbol was on the sails.
"Oh, I like that!" Bowser smirked as he decided to punch it as Bullet Bills shot out and struck the castle as Sora was on top of the mast and firing magic with his new Keyblade. Bowser kept punching it as Bullet Bills showered the castle as it managed to destroy the Water Cannon. Bowser pulled back his fist and delivered one final punch that knocked the ship toward the castle as Sora backflipped and landed on his palm as the ship did several flips before landing that made a humongous explosion that made a mushroom cloud. The explosion was enough to severely damage the drawbridge.
"Gah! Does his cheating ever end?!" Midbus grunted as Sora pulled up his fist as Bowser used his giant fist and the two fist bumped each other, though Sora nearly was knocked off of the palm of his hand. Sora then jumped back to his shoulder.
"All yours big guy!" He said as Bowser rushed toward him, breathing fireballs at the airships and Sora taking care of the sentry cannons as Bowser delivered one final punch to send Bowser's castle sliding back and watching it fall apart.
"BWAHAHAHAHA!" Bowser laughed as Midbus came to one of the spires. "You there! Big guy! How about you go giant yourself and we can settle this mano a mano!"
"You are nothing but a coward!"
"Says the guy who crushed me with my own castle!" He said, breathing fire at him to roast him.
"Grrrr. Grow smaller next time. Then we will settle the score." Midbus said as he retreated into the castle as the castle barely lifted up from the ground and flew off.
End BGM
"BWAHAHAHAHA! I RULE!" Bowser declared and suddenly he started to glow. "Ah! What's going on?" He wondered as he suddenly grew tinier and found himself standing in mid air, and Sora was on his shell.
"Uh… uh oh." Sora said as both of them started falling.
"AAAAAAAAAH!"
THUD!
Sora was knocked off of Bowser and faceplanted on the ground. "Ooof!" He grunted as Bowser got up and dusted himself off, and then found himself being hugged by Aoi.
"Oh thank heavens you're okay!" Aoi smiled.
"Heh, nothing can keep me down!" Bowser chuckled.
"Nah, it's cool. I'll just lie here and pretend I didn't do something awesome with Bowser…" Sora snarkily said as a shadow loomed over him as he looked up and saw Pyra leaning down, unintentionally bringing her chest down to Sora's eyes.
"You okay?"
"Uh, yeah, I'm fine… could you move back a little bit?"
"Oh!" Pyra moved back and stared into Sora's eyes. "Is that better?" She giggled, then helped him up.
"Yeah, a lot better." Sora chuckled, dusting himself off.
"Alright, we destroyed my castle… now let's go take it back!" Bowser said.
"Do you think we should go find your son? I'm sure he's a bit worried about ya." Goofy said.
"I trust that whatever my son is doing, he can handle it just fine." He said. "Right now, we got bigger fish to fry."
"Right. Let's take your castle back." Kyoko said as they ran off.
"Ya know, I wonder what happened to that one airship that he punched into the sky?" Pyra wondered.
"Eh, it's probably into space by now. I wouldn't worry about it." Mythra said.
"Fair enough!"
Meanwhile…
"You're paranoid." Adam said.
"Am I?" Seryu responded while folding her arms. "I don't know what it is, but I've felt like I got hit by a giant aircraft and was called a whore! I don't know why that is…"
"Perhaps it was a dream?" A Crimson Fang member asked.
"Maybe… but I don't know, I feel like as if-"
CRASH!
"AAAAAAAAGH!"
The airship that Bowser had punched into the stratosphere… came crashing down right on top of Seryu. "Seryu!" Adam exclaimed as he dug her out while a few brainwashed Shy Guys were groaning. Once they dug her out, they pulled her out. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine… hahahaha… paging Dr. Coconut… I want off this ride… haha… ooooh…" She groaned, as stars circled around her head while her aura disipated.
"Quick, get her into the medical bay." Adam ordered as the Crimson Fang picked up the KO'd Seryu and took off running to a tent.
I never understood why Wiggler made such a big stink out of you "taking responsibility". You do what he asks and he suddenly gets all pissy? The hell, man?
