(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - Underground)
World 2-3 It's so dark here.
At the end of they yellow Warp Pipe, Class VII, the Mario bros and Levi arrived somewhere underground. But the entire ground is dark.
"It's dark in here. I can't see a think." Alisa stated.
"We are underground so it make sense there is no light here." Jusis replied.
"Should we go back?" Fie asked.
"No need." Mario said.
Mario use his Fireball and light up the dark.
"Whoa! How do you do that?" Levi exclaimed. "Was that magic? You can use magic?"
"Well not exactly… I'm using the Fire Flower power-up." Mario answered.
"Fire… Flower?"
"Oh so that is what you use during that battle with Larry." Rean said. "It look just like the Ice Flower Crow pick up."
"Oh yeah. But we used the last of the Fire Flower… Sorry" Luigi replied
"Guess we'll just use you guys as our touches." Crow smiled.
Levi was lost in thought. "Question. Magic… exist in this world, right?"
"Yes. Why?" Mario asked
"Oh… No reason." Levi shake his head. "In any event. I can sense we're not alone in here. We should be careful."
Class VII the Mario brothers and Levi then journey through the darkness of the underground where it is pitch black. As they continue walking. They spotted some Piranha Plants called Ventus Fire Trap. They dodge some fireballs while Alisa just shoot the plants as a counter attack. They also stumble upon monsters called Spinies and Spike Tops but they avoided them. More Piranha Flowers were spouting up from the pipes. Alisa, Fie and Machias end up being the ones to take them out from the distance. Soon they found another Warp Pipe. They begin to enter the Warp Pipe.
(New Super Mario bros Wii ost - Desert Main Track)
Everyone made it out of the underground and back to the underwater surface.
"All right! We're out!" Millium cheered.
"But the bad news is that we're back at the desert." Fie sighed.
Gaius then see something ahead. "Wait, look."
Class VII, the Mario bros and Levi see a Castle in the middle of the desert.
"It's one of those fortresses. But now it's larger." Fie said.
"One of Bowser's fortresses." Mario said. "Which means…"
"When means another enemy will be blocking our path." Rean nodded. "All right everyone. Let's advance to the castle."
"Right!" Everyone nodded
Then they charge into the castle and then enter the castle.
World 2-Castle Who's stronger in strength?
(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - Castle)
As everyone enter the castle. They can see the interior of it. And it was not what they expected to be. The castle is filled with lava pits and three ways corridors. What's more, There are Dry Bones and Piranha plants in sight.
"Whoa… What is this place?" Millium asked.
"A castle that has lava of all things? Clearly our foes want us to burn alive." Jusis muttered
"Seriously! Isn't Lava the far worst thing?!" Machias exclaimed. "Also how is it possible for this castle to have Lava?! In the desert of all places!?"
"Seriously. Whoever build this place musy be crazy in the head!" Alisa nodded.
"Well this is Bowser we're talking about. He can survive on Lava. The same foes for his minions." Mario said.
"A foe who can survive the lava? Truly formidable indeed." Laura replied
"Well considering they're not exactly human, it make sense for them to survive the lava." Crow replied.
"It looks like there are three pathways to get through this castle." Levi said. "We have to choose one of them. I get the feeling this castle designs a trick."
"You got a good eye." Mario said. "He's right. This castle has a special mechanism. One path lets you go forward while the other two force you to start all over without realizing it you return to where you start."
"Whoa! That sounds super cool!" Millum cheered
"Do it does not." Jusis sighed.
"I had to admit. I'm kinda intrigued about the mechanism." Alisa said.
"But we have to be careful and choose wisely on which path to take." Emma advised. "We also need to make sure we DON'T fall into the Lava."
"Emma's right. If you even get close to the Lava, it will be on me." Sara nodded. "Here's what we do. We all line up without breaking the formation. As we do that, we need to choose which path is to take. Otherwise, we'll be stuck here all day."
"Your right." Rean nodded. "But which path should we take?"
"All in favor the path to the left?" Machias asked.
Gaius, Fie, Levi, and Alisa raise their hands.
"Okay, anyone want to go to the middle?" Rean asked.
Laura, Mario, Sara, Rean, Elliot, Jusis and Millium raised their hands.
"And lastly, who wants to head to the right?"
Emma, Machias, Crow, and Luigi raise their hands.
"Then it settled. Let's head to the middle corridor." Rean said.
The group begin to advance to the center Corridor as Dry bones and Piranha plants are blocking their way. Soon they begin to deal with them. By the time they arrived at the end of the hall. They heard a buzzer sound. And they reappeared where they were.
"Huh?" Alisa blinked.
"We reappeared where we were." Emma replied. "We heard a buzzer sound right?"
"Guess that means we chosen the wrong path." Crow sighed.
"So the middle path is out. Who voted for left?" Rean asked
Gaius, Fie, Levi, Alisa and now Crow, Emma, Mario, Rean and Machias raised their hands
"All right. Raise your hand if you want to go to the right."
Laura, Sara, Rean, Elliot, Jusis and Millium, and Luigi raise their hands.
"Guess the votes are in. We head to the left. Be careful." Rean said.
And they begin to take the left corridor. They begin to carefully walk to avoid falling into the Lava. Jumping out of the Lava was a lava monster.
"What was that?!" Millium exclaimed
"It's a Lava Bubble. A living fireball who live in lava." Mario answered.
"The Mushroom Kingdom truly has some interesting species here." Sara said.
As they carefully dodge the Lava Bubbles and make their way through. They all heard a chime sound and arrived in a new corridor area.
"Looks like a new pathway. We got the right path then." Fie said.
"Guess that chime we heard must be a sound that we chose the right path." Alisa said.
"But now we arrive at the same position as we were before." Laura said.
"Yeah. Three corridors leading elsewhere…" Levi nodded. "Hmm…"
"What are you thinking Levi?" Rean asked.
"I sort of have a hunch. But I could be wrong…"
"Let's hear it."
"Well since the right was the correct path. Maybe the middle might be the correct one too."
"That's an interesting theory." Emma said. "I say we should try it out."
"Okay, all in favor of going with Levi's hunch?" Rean asked.
Those who raise their hands are Levi, Rean, Gaius, Fie, Emma, Sara, Mario, Elliot, Luigi, Crow and Jusis.
"And those in favor of choosing random?"
Those who raise their hands are Machias, Millium, Laura, and Alisa.
"Votes are in. Let's head to the middle corridor." Rean said.
They begin to walk to the middle corridor and then they begin to take out some dry bones while also avoiding the Lava Bubbles. Afterward when they made it to the end. They heard a chime. Then arrive at a new set of Corridors.
"A chime, we chosen the right path." Alisa said in surprise.
"Then it seems I might be right on the last one." Levi said.
"I think I begin to see it too." Sara nodded.
"What do you mean Instructor?" Machias asked.
"The mechanism has a pattern for choosing the right path. And if my guess is correct too. The correct path we must take is the left one."
"Yeah. I was thinking the same thing." Rean nodded.
"In that case, I say we head to the left this time." Alisa said.
"Agreed. I think we can all agree to this." Laura nodded.
"Let's a go." Mario replied.
They all headed to the left corridor this time and made their way through. By the time they arrived. They all heard a chime. And then now they see a big red Door.
"We made it!" Millium cheered.
"Now I understand the pattern." Gaius said. "The correct path was left to middle to right."
"So it seems. A clever trick I suppose." Jusis said.
"And what awaits us at the other side of the door will be our next foe." Laura nodded
"All right everyone. Let's go." Rean replied
(BGM ended)
Then they begin to enter the door and arrived at a hallway. At the end of the hallway. There was a large space. The door close behind them.
"Ugh! You got here sooner then expected." A new voice said.
(Mario and Luigi's Paper Jam ost - Respect your Elders)
A two-fang Koopa appear from above. Except this time he is wearing pink sunglasses. Except this one is more buffer then Larry.
"Oh boy…" Mario sighed.
"I take it you're also one of the Koopalings like Larry?" Rean asked
The Big Bully Koopaling - Roy Koopa
"That's right. I'm Roy Koopa. And you guys must be Class VII Larry warn us about." Roy cross his arm. "You guys don't even look so tough."
"I beg your pardon?" Jusis glared.
"Ha! Did I tough a nerve to you? You heard me. I don't get how you manage to best Larry. But I bet you use some cheap trick. Weak!"
"Someone overconfidence." Fie remark.
"That cocky attitude of his reminds me of a certain someone." Machias scoffed gleaming to Jusis.
"Are you saying he and I are alike in a manner of speaking? Don't be absurd." Jusis replied.
"Anyway, aren't you being too cocky? You think we're 'weak' because of our appearance? You clearly have no idea what any of us are capable of." Levi said.
"Oh is that so? You wanna prove me wrong? That'll be the day." Roy smirked. "You may have numbers, but I got muscles. But how about we play a game of fairness then." Roy pulled out a magic wand and then swirl it and tap it on the ground. Suddenly, Class VII and the Mario bros got trap in the sphere, leaving Levi to himself against Roy.
"One vs One, huh? All right. I'm game."
"Levi, are you sure you can handle him? He look very strong!" Rean asked in concern.
"It's quite all right, Rean." Levi turn with a smile. "I'll be fine. It'll be over in a flash. Then turn to Roy. Levi pulled out his Glaive and ready in position.
(New Super Mario bros Wii ost - Boss)
"All right then Roy. Allow me to show you to not underestimate me." Levi replied with a small grin on his face.
"Ha! Then prove me wrong pretty boy!" Roy smirked as he stomp the ground and it cause a tremor. Then he charge for a fist attack.
But then Levi evade the attack fast and then Levi swirl slash and jab attack on Roy fast and then push him back to the wall. Roy then launch another attack by using his first and reflexes. But Levi dodge it gracefully and then launch a wide slash at Roy who dodge it and counter it with a uppercut, but only to be counterattack by a flip kick and kick Roy's chin and Levi swirl combo slash at Roy then swirl pose and strike and pushing Roy back further. Got land on his Shell, then he got in and launch a swirl dash shell attack toward Levi. Levi dodge the attack, only to come back from behind. Levi, however, block it with a lance defense position and then Roy continue to shell spin dash towards Levi as Levi continue to block and counter-attack with slashes to push Roy back in several areas. Roy had enough and got out of his Shell and then pull out his Magic Wand and charge a powerful magic blast at Levi. Levi dodge the magic blast, only for Roy to pulled out a cannon.
"Watch out!" Mario shout as Roy shoot out a bullet with an angry face at Levi. Levi dodge it in time and the bullet destroy the wall.
Roy launches several more bullets at Levi then cause a powerful tremors and cause Levi to lose balance. Right as the bullet got close to Levi. Levi jump and land on the closest bullet and jump to the next in a graceful and impressive skill. One was a flip, then last one was his hand land on the bullet and Levi swirl himself before fliping and then turn to Roy in the air than fire his Glaive at him. Roy jump out of the way but Levi zoom in as his Glaive is stuck on the ground, then Levi perform a circular spin kick at Roy who got push back while Levi swirl his way to the end of his Glaive's top. Once he reach the end top with his body upward, then grab it as he pull it out as he land and slam his Glaive with a wide slash slam which cause Roy to jump back in time.
While Mario, Luigi and Class VII watch in awe of Levi's fighting style and battling. Roy pull out his magic wand and launch several purple fireballs at Levi. Levi easily slash them and then he launch himself to Roy but reappear behind him. Only to shown many phantom slashes strike at him. Roy fall on the ground and groaned in defeat.
(BGM ended)
With Roy's defeat. Class VII and the Mario bros are freed from the spheres.
"Not bad I suppose." Levi said as he withdraw his Glaive before turning to Class VII and the Mario bros. "Are you guys all right?"
"Yeah, we're fine. But that was so cool!" Alisa praised.
"Indeed. You're remarkably skilled on the ways you wielded your spear." Jusis added.
"I was right to say you look like a seasoned warrior. What type of style was that, if I may asked?" Laura asked.
"Hmm… Honestly, I can't say for certain." Levi shrug as he light blush. "While I appreciate the compliments, It's a bit embarrassing." Levi then scratches his left cheek.
Roy groaned as the group turn to him. Roy panted. "I'll admit… you got some skills… but next time will be my victory!" Roy then ran towards a different hallway.
"After him!" Jusis command.
Then they chase after him. Only to see Roy boarded an airship and fly away.
"Tch. He got away." Jusis muttered.
"We better follow him." Levi stated
-meanwhile in Bowser's castle-
(Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door ost - Bowser's Theme)
In the Throne room. Bowser was ordering his minions around as they are all over the place.
"YOUR NASTINESS!" Kamek who burst into the Throne Room run over to him.
"What is it now Kamek?" Bowser asked
"Roy has been defeated!"
"What?! Roy is one of the strongest fighters we got! What happen!?"
"According to Roy, he challenge one fighter one on one and lost. He said this fighter was powerful to overcome him."
"You got to be joking! How can Roy lose to one of those Class VII brats?! Speaking of Class VII, have you looked into their academy?"
"I did. However, I cannot find anything about it. Such a thing doesn't exist." Kamek answered.
"What?! It doesn't exist?! Then where are they from!?" Bowser growled.
"I do have an idea. They could be otherworlders from that crack In the sky."
"Otherworlders? Ah, that crack from the Subspace Incident… If that's the case… Kamek, order some troops and investigate the other side. Find out what you can learn and take that we can use as an advantage! Also, find out about this Thors Military Academy."
"At once. But if I may Your Nastiness. It's possible that there may be only humans in that world. It would be problematic if any of us were to sighted."
"Then just turn invisible or something. There. Problem solve."
"I'm not so sure but I'll be off." Kamek sighed and then ran out.
-meanwhile in the Mushroom Kingdom-
(Mario and Luigi's Paper Jam ost - What Happens Next?)
Somewhere in a ruined building underneath of the Mushroom Kingdom, there was a mysterious young man with brown hair, guided by a sphere of light as he look around the ruins of an ancient castle. He arrived at the tomb. There was a large Bowser-shaped sarcophagus. There was the writing of the name. 'Emperor Bowser the first.'
"So this is the very first King Bowser's tomb hmm?" The Mysterious young man asked. "Hehe. How interesting. So much has past." The Mysterious young man chuckled and then look at the sarcophagus. "Hmm… I couldn't help but be too curious." The Mysterious young man then open the sarcophagus and then see a skeleton version of Bowser resting in his coffin. "He look so peaceful. Hmm?" The Mysterious Youth notice a paper by his side. He pick it up and it reads a mysterious wording. "Is this an incantation? "Ah'nahl nathrak Uth Vas Bethad Do-Hiel Dienveh." But nothing happen. "Nothing happen. Maybe I said it wrong" Unknown to the Mysterious youth, a 1-Up Mushroom appeared over the sarcophagus then landed inside. "Oh well. I should put this back." The Youth put it back and close the sarcophagus and then begin to head out. But as he exit. The inside of the sarcophagus begin to glow shined until it stopped glowing. Then something inside shakes and then the sarcophagus begin to open itself and came out was a bony hand and push the top out of the way. Then rise up from it was the same skeleton Koopa, but only to see the eyes are black and empty holes with glowing yellow pupils as he let out a growl.
-To the Mysterious young man-
As the mysterious youth journeyed the ruins, he heard the growl echoing the ruined.
"Why does it feel like I've done something bad?" The Mysterious youth ask himself that.
Ooh. Talk about some interesting scene. Still. And now look what the mysterious man done. Something tells me this will be one chaotic tale yet to come.
