BGM: Creepy Steeple (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Okay okay, deep breath now." Vivian said as Noire took a deep breath and exhaled. "So, how did this happen?"
"I… I'm not sure. This whackjob was saying stuff like "I did this just for the hell of it. I wanted to spruce up Twilight Town and turning into a pig sty was a massive improvement" and other crap like that. He then copied my looks and the last thing I remember was I was attacking that Doopliss freak when all of a sudden, I was staring at my own body right before I got knocked out…"
"Hmm…" Vivian folded her arms. "So it was at that moment when he successfully stole your body."
"Exactly."
"Welp! That settles it." Vivian said. "We're going to get your body back!"
"Yeah!" Noire sprang up. "We're gonna get my body back! …Somehow."
"I think if we knock him out, your body should get back to normal." Vivian pointed out. "Though that's just a guess on my part."
"It's better than sitting around and doing nothing!" Noire said. "Now let's go get that jerk!"
"Yeah!" Vivian turned to the parrot. "You want to go too?"
"Squawk! Better than here." He said as the three of them ran/flew off.

Meanwhile…
BGM: Twilight Town (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"That's funny…" Sora said. "I could've sworn we defeated the monster, right?"
"We did." Luigi said, looking at all the pigs wandering around, causing him to raise an eyebrow and rubbed his head. "So how come no one's turning back?"
"Did we forget to ring the bell? We probably forgot to do that." Nocturne said.
"How would that work though?" Aerith wondered.
"I'm not sure!" Nocturne shrugged.
Heheheh… these slicks don't even know. We're just gonna keep going in circles and I'll be having the last laugh. Doopliss thought as he would then look down. Come to think of it, I haven't done much with this body yet…
He would grip his "chest" and started playing with it. Huh, heavier than I thought they'd be.
Bea glanced over at "Noire", and narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Hmm…" She quietly hummed.
"This is so bizarre… did we miss something?" Sora folded his arms and rubbed his chin, glancing over at Luigi petting Mario.
"I wonder if there's a reset button we missed…" Koops said.
"Your guess is good as mine." Nocturne said, scratching his head.
End BGM
Bea walked over to Doopliss. "Hey, Noire… I couldn't help but notice you're getting very familiar with yourself."
"Oh, don't worry about it. Sometimes you just gotta play with your breasts after a job well done." He smiled. "Don't you do it?"
"No, because I'm not the type of girl who would do such a thing like that." Bea folded her arms. "And even if I played with my breasts, I wouldn't have such a perverted look on my face."
"What? It just feels so goooood."
"…Uh-huh." Bea folded her arms. "And just how do you think you're gonna keep up with this charade?"
"What charade?"
"As long as I had known Noire in the Glitz Pit, she would never do something like this. She was more interested in fashion and cosplay while also trying to fight her way to the top." Bea said. "She'd never do something like playing with her chest."
Doopliss smirked. "Can't get anything past you, huh? I had assumed everyone was just as idiotic as they looked."
BGM: Tension (Super Mario Galaxy)
Bea clenched her fists. "In that case, I won't feel bad if I did THIS." She said, slugging Doopliss but he weaved his head, grabbed Bea's arm and brought out a sword, planting it firmly against her neck.
"You really want to go there… slick?" He smirked as Bea let out a growl.
"What the heck are you two doing?" Sora asked, as the rest had taken notice.
"Oh, we're just horsing around. Don't mind us." Doopliss said before turning to Bea with a smirk. "Right?"
"As if…" Bea growled as Sora would take a closer look at Bea's body language as his eyes widened and then summoned his Keyblade, pointing it at Doopliss. Everyone else would realize what was going on as they got in their battle stances while Aerith pointed her staff at Doopliss.
End BGM
"Everyone, HOLD IT!" A voice yelled as they turned to see Vivian and Noire running into town.
"Oh, good, everyone's at that guy's throat. So we're all on the same page!" Vivian said.
"What's with the shadow?" Koops asked.
"It's me, doofus! That guy stole my body! And… possibly my name now that I'm thinking about it!"
"Hmph. So what if I did? If I had stolen your name and body, then what's my real name?"
"Oh, why don't we ask your pet?" Vivian suggested as the parrot flew by.
"Squawk! His real name is Doopliss! His real name is Doopliss! He shoves parrots in a dark room for no good reason too! Squawk!"
"WHAT?!" Doopliss yelled. "No… no no no no no NO NO NO NO NO!"
"Doopliss, huh?" Bea would use her other arm to grab "Noire" and suplexed him to the ground, regardless of the sword at her throat.
"RRRRGH!" Doopliss sprung back up. "You think you've won, slick?! Just because that stupid parrot revealed who I am doesn't mean you're gonna get your name and body back for free!" He said, snapping Noire's fingers as suddenly everyone but Noire was trapped in shadowy thorns.
"Nnngh! What is this…?!" Sora said, trying his best to get out as everyone else did the same thing but to no avail.
"Mmph!" Vivian tried to go underground, but the thorns prevented her from going under. "Gah!"
"Hmph." Doopliss smirked as he and Noire started walking toward each other before circling around each other. "I've stolen your name, your body and your weapons. As far as I'm concerned, I have it all. You're just gonna be a hopeless shadow while I hang out with your goody two shoes friends."
"Ha! You honestly think you have it all?" Noire smirked confidently. "Don't make me laugh. I wasn't even using my full strength."
"Well… I have this." He said, holding the Ruby Star. "I pickpocketed that spiky haired kid when he wasn't looking!"
"Seriously?!" Sora said in disbelief.
"So, Noire… you think you have what it takes to fight the new and improved me when I have your body? I don't care if you weren't fighting at full capacity… that just goes to show that I will strike you down!" Doopliss said as the two of them stopped walking.
"Hmph… pride before the fall, Doopliss." Noire said, pulling out her sword. "I'll do what it takes to get my name and body back."
"Heh… you will try… slick." Doopliss copied Noire's battle stance. "En garde!"
BGM: I'll Face Myself (Persona 4)
Doopliss and Noire rushed at each other, both of them slashing at each other as they both clashed and looked at each other in the eyes until Noire kicked him in the knee and then counter slashed him to knock him back. Doopliss quickly got back up and conjured up a fireball in his hands, throwing it at Noire but she batted it away with her sword.
Doopliss then charged ahead and slashed at her, giving her an unrelenting smirk and viciously continued slashing at her, but Noire kept blocking until she gracefully backflipped and then snapped her fingers as a lightning bolt struck Doopliss from above. "Nnngh!" He grunted as Noire ran over and unleashed a Tornado Sword attack to knock him back.
"Hraaaah!" Doopliss yelled, charging at her and viciously slashing at her, but she would swiftly parry the attack and unleashed Lacy Dance, hitting him with a somersault kick that knocked him back as she would strike him with a massive fireball right after.
"I can tell that you've never used a sword before." Noire said. "You're so clumsy and bad at it, it's kinda sad, honestly."
"Rrrgh…" Doopliss scowled before smirking, holding up the Ruby Star. "I don't know what you do, but HELP ME OUT!" He yelled as the Ruby Star glowed brightly as suddenly pencils, pens, markers, paintbrushes, rollers and paint cans floated around the star and then launched over to Noire, attempting to lather her in art.
"Wha?!" Noire yelped as she quickly ran around to try and avoid the art, but one paint roller would roll toward her from the side and buried her into the ground. "Mmmph!" She grunted as the pencils, pens and markers would draw on her, the paintbrushes would paint on her and the paint cans dumped themselves all over her. "Gaaaah! Ewwww!" She complained in disgust as then several Ink Bombs were thrown her way and exploded on her. "Blegh!"
It was then that the Ruby Star summoned an Inkstrike as it shot up into the air and then came crashing down and exploding in an ink-like tornado fashion. "AAAAAAAAH!"
End BGM
"Game set and match. You're done." Doopliss smirked once the ink dissipated as he started to walk away.
"You…" Noire growled as she slowly rose up and covered in art. "You… you shouldn't have done that… you potentially ruined my clothes in this filth you call art!" She said. "You're gonna regret THAT!"
"Oh please, I got this Crystal-like star! What are you gonna do about it?" Doopliss smirked.
"That's right… you do have a Crystal Star… but that doesn't mean you have all of them!" Noire pointed out as suddenly, the Diamond, Emerald and Gold Star appeared near the group as they circled around Noire.
"What the…?!" Doopliss said in shock as the Gold Star circled around Noire as a blue and orange aura started glowing around her as the Diamond Star went into her sword as it started to form diamonds around it.
"HRAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Noire yelled, immediately transforming into Black Heart, still as a shadow but Doopliss's eyes widened.
BGM: Uranus (Megadimension Neptunia VII)
"Wh-what?! You have form changes that I wasn't aware about?!" Doopliss said before paling. "Uh oh…"
"Prepare yourself!" Black Heart growled as she flew directly to Doopliss and Diamond Slashed Doopliss as he tried to block, but the sheer force was enough to knock him back several feet as she would then use an upward slash to knock him up into the air as she flew up.
"INFINITE DIAMOND SLASH!" She yelled, swiftly slashing him as she slashed him to the ground as he slammed into the ground as a crystal-like explosion had formed right after as Black Heart landed in front of him.
Doopliss got up, growling. "Throw more art at the hag!" He yelled as the Ruby Star had summoned Inkzookas and started firing, but Black Heart would quickly fly around to avoid the ink being shot at her as it then summoned Tenta Missiles as they started firing at her.
Locked on to me, huh? Black Heart thought as she had an idea and flew down as the Tenta Missiles followed her as she landed next to Doopliss.
"What are you…?" Doopliss wondered as he looked up and his eyes widened, realizing what she was doing. "Oh crud!"
"Sayonara!" Black Heart said, jumping away right as the Tenta Missiles was withing striking range and struck Doopliss instead.
"AAAAAAAAH!" Doopliss yelped, getting covered in ink as Black Heart would fly over and Diamond Slashed him the paint covered Doopliss away. Doopliss turned around, furious over being covered in ink as he ran over and slashed at her, but the Emerald Star had dropped in front of Doopliss and formed into a emerald bomb that exploded, freezing him in place.
"It's over." Black Heart said as she flew over and slashed through him right as time resumed for him.
"AAAAAAAAAAAARGH!" He yelled as he fell to the ground in defeat… and then both of their bodies started to glow as Doopliss turned back to normal while Black Heart returned to normal.
End BGM
"Hmph. That's more like it." Black Heart said, turning back into Noire as she walked over and grabbed the Ruby Star while the Diamond Star popped out of her sword to turn it back to normal as well, then the thorns disappeared as everyone was freed… and then one by one, the pigs started turning back to normal.
"Uuungh…" Doopliss groaned as he sat up, only to see Mario towering before him as he cracked his knuckles, and was joined by everyone else. "Uh… aheheheh… CRUD." He groaned.
"Mwehehehehe! That was a spectacular fight!" A voice said.
"…Oh no…" Vivian groaned as Beldam and Marilyn popped up while Thunderbolt emerged from a tree.
BGM: Theme of the Shadow Sirens (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"You again…" Sora glared at Thunderbolt.
"Vivian, my naughty little sister. You ought to pay for your insolence for what you have done." Beldam said. "All of you will pay too… and for those who we haven't met before, you will pay as well!"
"What did we ever do to a hag like you?" Aerith asked.
"For siding with the heroes… and for calling me a hag, you ugly cretin!" Beldam said.
"Have you looked into a mirror?" Aerith shot back.
"Pah, whatever! I have this!" Beldam said, pulling out the Superbombomb.
"What the… oh no!" Vivian paled. "That's the-"
"Indeed! The Superbombomb. With this… everyone will be blown sky high within a five mile radius!" Beldam said as she smirked. "Prepare for your final hour! BOMBS AWAY!" She yelled as she threw it as everyone panicked… but it didn't even light up nor explode.
End BGM
"Huh?! Oh no… don't tell me it's a dud!" Beldam groaned.
"Here. It just needs a little push." Thunderbolt said, aiming her Gunblade at the weapon and launched a Firaga at it, which of course lit it up.
"Waaaah! Thunderbolt, you dolt! You're gonna kill us all!" Beldam exclaimed as she picked it up and tossed it to Sora. "Hot potato!"
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" Sora exclaimed, scrambling to catch it. "Aheheh… here you go." He tossed it to Marilyn.
"Guh! Guh Guh Guuuuuh!" Marilyn said, tossing it to Aerith.
"Wah! Oh my, look at the time, it's a baby! Here you go!" Aerith tossed it to Doopliss.
"Yipe!" Doopliss caught it. "Aheheheh, look, it's a gender reveal party. It's a boy! Congratulations!" He said, tossing it to Mario.
"Mama mia!" He yelped. "Happy birthday!" He said, tossing it to Thunderbolt.
"Happy Halloween!" Thunderbolt gave it to Beldam.
"WHY ME?! Here, Merry Christmas!" Beldam tossed it to Bea.
"Gift exchange!" Bea gave it to Marilyn.
"Guuuuh!" Marilyn tossed it to Luigi.
"Yipe! Feliz Navidad!" Luigi exclaimed, accidentally tossing it to Noire.
"Wah! Here, it's a girl!" She tossed it to Doopliss.
"Aaaah! It's chocolate… and I just realized at this point of time that I'm allergic to chocolate!" He tossed it to Nocturne who quickly swallowed it up and turned it into an Egg Bomb.
"Here's a present for ya!" He said, tossing it to Marilyn.
"Guh!" Marilyn tossed it to Vivian.
"Oh dear… I have it in my hands…" Vivian said. "But uh, according to Beldam… I have butter fingers soooo… whoops~" Vivian dropped it.
"YIPE!" Beldam quickly caught it. "This will be in safe hands if you don't touch it, you brat! You will be punished for this!" She said. "Marilyn, let's go and think of a punishment for Vivian!" She went underground.
"Uuuuh… guuuuh?"
"I got it!" Sora said, throwing the Diamond Star down to create a diamond force field to protect them, as even Marilyn and Thunderbolt joined them while the latter kicked out Doopliss.
"Ack! Hey! …Oh double crud…"
"Wait a minute… AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
BOOOOOOOOM!
The resounding explosion was met with a massive earthquake and cracks formed around Twilight Town while dirt splashed down on Doopliss and buried him alive.
"AAAACK!"
The diamond force field disappeared as Beldam emerged, covered in soot and glaring at them. "You're… YOU'RE… YOU'RE DESPICABLE, VIVIAN!" She yelled before collapsing on the ground. "Ooogh…"
"Oh, I know what I am~" Vivian smiled nonchalantly as Marilyn picked up Beldam and went underground, while also pulling Doopliss out of his grave.
"Okay… so what about her?" Mario asked, referring to Thunderbolt.
"I was just here for support. Ta ta~!" She said, waving goodbye to them… more specifically at Mario as she hopped into the Warp Pipe and disappeared.
"…Huh?" Mario blinked.
"Ooookay, that was suddenly random." Sora said.
"Uuugh… I'm gonna need to wash this off…" Noire groaned, looking at her clothing and entire body being covered in art supplies.
"What was that all about?" Luigi wondered.
"I have no idea… but I have a feeling we've met before." Mario said, folding his arms. …Wait a minute, the way she walked and the way she waved at me… His eyes widening. No way… could it have been…?
"Welp, I say we're done here. Let's go!" Sora said as he headed over to the Warp Pipe and hopped in with the others accompanying him.
Let's play hot potato... extreme edition! How extreme is it? BOMBS! Mwahahahaha!
