Class VII, Levi and the Mario brothers have jump out of the Green Warp Pipe and then landed on something soft. Then Class VII and Levi jaw drop on where they are at.
(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - World 7)
"Whoa… Where are we?" Elliot asked.
"The air here smells different from everywhere. Almost serene." Gaius said.
"Um… guys." Levi called out to them as he look down.
As soon as Class VII did. They jawdropped and realize they were WAAAAAAAAY high up. The Ground is very far from them.
"HOLY CRAP!" Elliot exclaimed.
"WHERE THE HECK ARE WE?!" Machias exclaimed
"I think… we're in the clouds?" Emma asked as she touch the clouds.
"The clouds?! We're LITERALLY standing on the clouds?! How is this even possible!? We can't even touch the clouds! They're not solid!"
"Freak out much?" Levi asked.
"How are you as not panicked as I am!?"
"I honestly have no words." Laura replied.
"I'm on the same boat." Fie nodded.
"I think it's safe to say we are all. Such a thing as standing on the clouds is no doubt impossible." Rean said. "But this is the Mushroom Kingdom. Another World. Anything in this world is beyond the understanding of our world."
"You have a point there." Gaius nodded
"I think I'm losing my mind. I might have died on the way here. Have I already- OW!" Machias exclaimed as Levi pinch his cheek. "What was that for!?"
"To see if you are dead as you speak." Levi giggled. "But you're not. And this is real."
"And we have reached a height we never cross upon." Sara added. "I honestly can't tell how selge."
"This is so AMAZING! I can't wait to tell Claire about this! Oh, wait. I don't think she'll believe me." Millium replied
"Who wouldnt?!" Machias palm face.
"All right everyone. As much as we're surprised about the whole standing among the clouds thing. We still have a task to do." Sara said. "Plus I can see a Fortress over there. And that's where our last line of defense to reach the Koopa King himself."
Sara is right. The group see a fortress amongs the clouds just a couple of miles from here.
"Your right. That must be Ludwig's fortress." Emma nodded.
"We're going to have to be careful here. We don't want to fall off these clouds here. I'm sure you all know why." Sara said.
"Yeah. Scary as that sounds. Let's stay close together." Rean nodded
World 7-1 I can fly!
(New Super Mario Wii ost - Athletic)
"Lucky, there are some clouds we can at least walk. However, considering the clouds can also be mist. We should take a slow step." Levi advised.
"Agreed. We wouldn't want to fall to our death because of this." Jusis nodded
"Lucky I have Lammy here! I can scout ahead and search around." Millium replied and then summoned Airgetlam and hop on it.
"Millium. I honestly don't know why but you are somehow lucky because you have Airgetlam." Alisa sighed.
"Hmm… I actually have a question. Mario, Luigi." Levi turn to them. "Are there any power up we can use to fly?"
"Oh yeah, there are plenty. You already know one and it's the Propeller Mushroom." Mario answered
"There should be one around here somewhere… Oh, look!" Luigi pointed and see a ? block with some blocks along the way.
"All right! We found our jackpot blocks." Crow replied.
"But will we find some of those Propeller Mushroom?" Emma asked.
"Guess we'll find out…" Fie said.
Mario was the one who hit the ? block and came out several Propeller Mushrooms.
"Wow so many!" Millium exclaimed.
"It should be enough for all of us. Get them!" Sara command as she jump and then grab one and then she transformed into Propeller Sara. Soon she grab and toss some of them to the others while Fie grab the Propeller Mushroom and then throw some at her friends. Everyone soon managed to get one and change into their propeller formed.
Rean was the black color. Alisa was yellow. Laura was blue. Elliot was orange. Jusis was emereld, Machias was dark green, Gaius was brown, Millium was how she got it. Crow was silver, Levi was white, Emma was purple and Sara was pink.
"Ooh look at us. We're like… well an odd group of squad." Sara said.
"Easy for you to say! I look completely ridiculous with this suit!" Machias exclaimed
"But remember what happen last time when Millium got it?" Alisa asked. "She can fly because of it. So guess we just have to deal with it and fly across."
"Although it pains me to say this. But Alisa is correct." Jusis sighed.
Emma nervous laughed. "Off we go then…" 'I hope Celine will be okay… somehow…'
And so they all use their propeller and then begin to fly to get across the clouds.
"WOOOHOO! I can fly!" Crow shout out with excitement.
"So this is how it feels to fly?" Elliot asked as his eyes seem to sparkle.
"I feel like one of those angels who are in the clouds." Alisa giggled. "But if I had angel wings…"
"Huh… You know… I wonder if there are Angels out here." Fie said.
"Oh there are." Mario said. "Me and Luigi have a friend who is an angel."
"Wait what?! You mean an actual angel!?" Machias exclaimed.
"Yep. Although he is not here."
"You guys continue to surprise us… And this world too…" Rean nervous laughed.
Soon they landed to a solid cloud and then continue their journey.
World 7-2 Face the Troops
As Class VII, Levi and Mario bros continue the next area to get to Ludwig's fortress. They found a sphere of water floating in the air.
"Whoa! What that's?" Elliot asked with the water ball.
"Oh. Those are Water Balls. They a large mass of water that sometimes float in the air and shape like a ball." Luigi answered
"Hint the name: Water Ball." Fie comment.
"Truly this world magic is enchanting…" Emma said in awe.
"Are you interested in learning magic Emma?" Levi asked.
"Huh? Oh um… Well… I don't know if such a thing is possible."
"I mean this world is a magical one so I'm sure it's possible." Alisa replied.
"Although I'm more interested in swordsmanship than magic. I believe I don't have an affinity for magic." Laura said.
"That sounds like Ike." Luigi said.
"Is this Ike a swordsman?"
"Oh yeah. He's a talented one. And a strong one too. Like Chrom." Mario nodded
"And who is this Chrom?" Laura asked.
"He too is a swordsman. A very powerful one at that. Although sometimes his strength break a lot of things."
"And by things?" Rean asked.
"Ehh… I don't know about the details… It's best to ask his friends."
"And how do you meet these swordsman friends of yours?" Laura asked.
"We always meet up in Smash Bros Castle."
"Smash what?" Crow asked.
"There you are!" A familiar voice exclaimed.
(Paper Mario Color Splash ost - Kamek)
Kamek has appeared acccompany by A group of Goombas, Hammer Bros, Fire Bros, Ice Bros, Paragoomba and Parakoopas.
"Kamek!" Rean said.
"Ugh and look how far all of you have already processed! This will not do at all! I was certain that rockslide would have crushed you all! But even that wasn't enough! I was right to make sure to check." Kamek muttered. "And worst you made it past Morton!"
"He certainly was a tough one, we'll admit to that." Machias replied. "And I'm guessing you're gonna get in our way again."
"Isn't that obvious? This is how it works when it comes to facing enemies. This time, I will not let you reach Ludwig's castle. And to make sure of it." Kamek then begin to fire some magic onto the groops and they appeared to be glowing. "Destroy them!"
(Paper Mario Sticker Star ost - Normal Battle)
"Yes, sir!" The Koopa Troops shout and ready for battle as Class VII, Levi and the Mario Bros got their weapons out

(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - Overworld)
With the defeated Koopa Troops. Kamek was annoyed by their defeat.
"Ugh! You're all more skilled then I anticipate! I will not make the same mistake again!" Kamek then fly away.
"That guy is going to get really annoying later on." Crow sighed.
"Agreed. And whatever sorcery he use to empower his troops certainly proven formidable" Jusis added
"Right. Let's be careful and be careful what else he may have brought." Levi advised.
World 7-3 Get off you parasites!
After that battle against the Koopa Troops Kamek has brought. The group resume their journey on the clouds to reach Ludwig's castle.
"I got a question. If we're dealing with the last Koopaling… That means we're nearly at Bowser's Domain?" Levi asked
"Yes. We're almost to the Koopa Kingdom." Mario nodded
"Hey you guys. Have you notice that the heat here seems… normal?" Alisa asked.
"Huh… Now that you mention it. It seems like a regular temperature. How long has it been since we made it this far?" Machias asked.
"Good question. But sadly we don't have a clock to tell the time." Sara said.
"Speaking of time. Is our world time the same or different from ours?" Rean asked.
"Hmm… I would say different… yet…" Emma hummed.
"Wait… You guys hear that?" Crow asked,
As everyone stop moving. Everyone heard a boing sound. The Mario bros look pale.
"Oh no…" Both of them said.
"What's wrong with you guys?" Machias asked.
"Fuzzies…" Mario muttered.
"Fuzzies?" Ellito asked
"Wait, you mean those things?" Millium asked and pointed. Then the group see a small black-furred creature with unusual spiky bodies bouncing around.
"Yes. Them…" Luigi sighed.
"What are fuzzies?" Rean asked
"Fuzzies are very annoying monsters. They cause a lot of problems. But they also can drain health out of all living things." Mario explain
"They sound like the monsters we have back in our world."
"What's more, it sounds like they're more dangerous too." Sara stated. "We better stay away from them."
"Um… guys…" Millium gulp
Suddenly a group of fuzzles approached the group. They are staring at the group. No moment was heard. Until-
"Meeeyock!" One of them said and then they all charge in together.
"Brave yourself!" Sara shout
Soon a clash begin to start. Everyone begin to strike the Fuzzlies and some of them are already bite their legs, shoulders or anywhere they sink their teeth into to drain their health. Everyone who was draining health was struggling.
"Get off of me you parasites!" Levi shout to remove them off from his body.
"There's so many of them!" Machias exclaimed
"Take this!" Gaius shout as he use his Craft: Turbulence and pull in the Fuzzie and then blast them away.
Then Elliot, Jusis, Alisa and Emma cast Orbal Arts onto them and then destroy them.
Everyone else was tired.
"Damn… those things were no joke… They nearly suck me dry…" Crow panted.
"Ugh… I think we need to heal…" Fie panted
"Here… Let me." Elliot panted
Then Elliot use his Craft Holy Song and heal everyone.
"Wonderful! Thank you Elliot! You're an amazing healer!" Mario praised.
"You think so? I'm glad I can help."
Then the group begin to continue their adventure and then soon arrived at Ludwig's castle. Then they enter in.
World 7 - Castle Ludwig's the Genius
(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - Castle)
As the group arrived at Ludwig's castle. The design this time was some moving metal platforms. And the group are neat two giant Skewers with Dry Bones patrolling.
"Okay this one is unique." Machias said. "There's no Lava this time."
"However, but platforms and larger skewers are going to be a problem." Laura stated.
"Lucky, we still have our propeller form so we can just fly. Just have to be careful with those Skewers. They're much larger from that other castle." Fie advised.
"And we need to time it correctly. Otherwise, one wrong move and the unthinkable happen." Levi added.
"Right. We should take turns on those giant skewers and then get across and intercept the enemy." Rean nodded
"Let's a go!" Mario nodded
Class VII take turn carefully to get across. If they get hurt. They'll lose their power-up. They each jump once the giant skewer is back to the lower ground. Once it did. They each take turn before moving on. They taken care of the Dry bones who are going to attack them. However, they will received themselves until everyone made it across.
"This castle is overkill…" Elliot trailed off. "It's scary of how it's design and defense against invaders."
"Seriously… a madman would create a place like this." Machias nodded
"It would be impregnable, no doubt… But it's… unique for situations like this." Crow replied.
"Let's hope no one from our world take inspiration from this." Sara sighed.
Later they came across with faster and smaller versions of the skewer. They quickly had to do this quickly with a dash. After a few minutes. They managed to get across to a normal platform. Soon they encounter a fatter version of Hammer Bro called Sledge Bro. They soon dealt with him and move on. They encounter another one and dealt with that one too. However, they reencoutner another giant skewer. They quickly had to do the same meathod again to get across. Once they heard a cling. They stop and wait until it's safe to across. After getting across. They stumped into a suicide version to get across.
"Okay, we're not gonna cross this right?" Crow asked.
"Obviously not! It's suicide!" Machias exclaimed
"There has to be some way to shut them off." Sara stated.
"But the problem is, where's the mechanism that controls them?" Alisa asked.
"There should be a hidden switch nearby… search the walls." Levi suggest.
The group begin to search for the walls to find a hidden switch to get across. So far, there was no luck from the walls. It was getting hopeless.
"Looks like we wont be getting across after all." Gaius sighed.
"We're at an impasse." Laura muttered.
"There has to be some way to get across…" Rean frown.
Levi close his eyes and thought of something. "Let me try something."
As the group is curious what Levi is trying. Levi close his eyes and then touch the floor. A few seconds later. Levi open his eyes. "Found it." Levi walk to the floor next to Gaius and then found a hidden hatch with a button on. He pressed it. And the skewer was deactivated.
"The Skewer are deactivated. We can get across safely now." Fie said.
"That was amazing! Levi, what and how did you do that?" Rean asked as everyone look at him.
Levi blushed and shake his head. "P-Please don't look at me like that! I get really embarrassed if people look at me like that! Anyway… it's… a technique I've learn… Let's focus on taking down Ludwig." Levi then walk faster as he jump and getting across.
Soon the group join him to reach the boss room. They all enter next.
(BGM ended)
They all enter the corridor and then soon arrived as a new large room where a Koopa is waiting for them.
"I'm actually surprised at you all. You made it past the defence." The Koopa said as he turn round.
(Mario and Luigi's Paper Jam ost - Respect your Elders)
The Koopa who turn around has a large wild dark blue hair. His hairstyle is… hard to explain.
"That is one unique hairstyle he got there." Crow blinked.
"Honestly. I have no words to describe it." Alisa added.
"Surprised are we? Well, you should be I suppose. You all done well to make it thus far. However, your luck just ran out." The Koopa smirked.
"Someone's all confident like he think he will win." Levi scoff.
"I see Mario and Luigi weren't joking about you. Your name is Ludwig right? The last of the Koopaling who's standing in our way?"
The Brains of the Koopalings - Ludwig von Koopa.
"Indeed I am. And if Mario and his brother told you about me. Then it's clear to me it's an honor to know how much of a threat I posed. I heard about you Class VII. King Bowser certain wasn't pleased that you managed to make is this far along with the Mario Bros. But unlike my fellow Koopalings. I will fix all of this and take you all done with my genius."
"Wow. They definitely weren't joking about him." Machias scoff. "Too much cocky for his own good."
"Still, he does pose a threat regardless." Laura replied.
"And coming from the 'genuis' part. I bet he has something planned." Alisa added.
"Indeed I do. Now then. I think it's time we get this started. In fact. I know a select few who to take down first." Ludwig smirked as he pulled a switch from behind and then suddenly the ground is shaking.
"Incoming!" Levi exclaimed and then suddenly a cage appeared from above and trapped Laura, Jusis, Crow, Mario, Luigi, Levi, Sara, and Gaius. "It was a trick!"
"Indeed It was! Hahaha! I simply can't allow myself to be outnumbered can't I?" Ludwig smirked and then the cages rise.
(New Super Mario Bros Wii ost - Boss)
"Rean! Everyone" Alisa shout.
"Now then my opponents. Let me show you why I'm the brains of the Koopalings! And this will be your downfall!" Ludwig brought out his magic wand and then fire several blue fireballs. Alisa and her team dodge.
"Lammy!" Millium summoned Airgetlam.
"Oh my. What an interesting machine." Ludwig then cast his magic and fire more blue fireballs.
"Everyone, now!" Emma stated.
"Right!" Alisa's team nodded and Alisa and Elliot activated their combat links. And Emma and Machias activated theirs.
"Interesting." Ludwig amused and then he cast his magic and created more of himself.
"What the-!?"Machias exclaimed. "More of him!"
"He must have clone himself! Be careful!" Emma shout.
The Ludwigs floated into the air and then shot out several blue fireballs at them. Machias shoot one of the Ludwigs but it's an illusion.
"It's an illusion?! But how did it attack?!" Machias exclaimed
'This is advance magic… No wonder he's formidable!' Emma thought.
"Molton Storm!" Alisa use her Craft onto the Ludwigs.
The Ludwigs cast a barrier to prevent the Molton Storm to hit. Then Ludwig launch a shell dive attack and Alisa and Machias dodge. Elliot swirl his Orbal Staff and then cast his Water Art Hydro Cannon onto the illusion. The illusion was dispelled and reveal the real Ludwig who conjured a barrier. Ludwig got into his shell and started to attack and dash onto Elliot and bash into him. Then dash to Emma. Emma swirl her Orbal Staff and then stomp the ground and launched Orbal energy to protect herself from the attack. Millium dash and Airgetlam change into a hammer and bash Ludwig's shell. Ludwig came out of his shell and then launch fireballs at Millium who protected herself with Airgetlam. Machias ran into a circle and shoot his bullets at Ludwigs. Ludwig dodged the attack and Elliot cast his Orbal Arts again. Ludwig dodges the orbal attack while Alisa fire arrows at Ludwig and fires several more. Ludwig flips and fire several blue fireballs. Emma cast a Mirage Art: Silver Thorn at Ludwig who took damage at it. Then Machias reload and then fire again. Ludwig charge at Ludwig with close combat. Machias block the attack with the gun, however, Ludwig headbutts him and push him back and follow up with a punch and send him rolling. Alisa cast an Orbal Art space: Golden sphere and strike Ludwig. Elliot then charge in and follow up with an Orbal Staff bash. But sadly due to Elliot's physical strength, It wasn't strong. But at least Alisa follow up with her arrows and then a kick to push Ludwig back. Millium charge in with Airgetlam to attack Ludwig and then launch a smash attack. But Ludwig backflipped and then drilled attack, however, that was foiled because of Machias's gunfire. It send Ludwig back. But he got back up and then conjured a large magic sphere into the air. Ludwig then zoom to Elliot and combat him but Alisa help out with some defense combat form for archers by doing some kick and reflexes. Elliot shoot out Orbal energy bubbles and then cast an Orbal Art Malestorm and blast Ludwig. Millium's Airletlam follow that up with a punch and push Ludwig back.
"Not bad. But not enough!" Ludwig smirked as the Magic Sphere crashed into Elliot and Alisa and send flying as they screamed.
"Elliot! Alisa!" Emma shout.
"Why you!" Machais growled and then begin to use His S craft by firing several bullets at Ludwig who conjured a barrier.
Because of that barrier, the S craft didn't work. However, Elliot got back up and then begin to use his S craft and then shattered the barrier. It was later follow up by Alisa's S craft and now Emma's S-Craft. Ludwig was push back and covered in heavy injuries. And now Millium use her S-Craft onto Ludwig and does even more damage onto Ludwig as he was flying in the air. Once he crashes to the ground. Everyone did an all-out attack and then Elliot cast Hydro Cannon and blasted Ludwig out of his castle.
"I'LL BE BAAAAACK!" Ludwig scream as later a star shine beam then fade.
(BGM ended)
Elliot panted. "Man.. that was tough…"
"That guy was really strong…" Machias rubbed his face.
"I can see why he's the last line of defense… his skills with magic were incredible…" Emma added.
"Yeah… although his show-off personality did lead him to his defeat." Alisa replied.
"Yeah! We kick his butt!" Millium cheered.
Then the cages begin to lower down and then released everyone else.
"Woohoo! You guys did it!" Sara praised.
"Are you all right?" Rean asked.
"Yeah. He certainly was challenging… I think we still have a lot to learn." Alisa nodded
"Especially me…" Elliot sighed.
"What Matters is now we can now arrive to King Bowser's Kingdom now." Laura said. "You should celebrate your victory."
"Laura's right. You guys must had one heck of a battle." Crow nodded
"And the Green Warp Pipe there will take us to Bowser's Kingdom." Millium smiled. "Come on! Let's see! I wanna see what it looks like!"
"We're close to reaching the Koopa Kingdom. Let us be off." Jusis nodded
And so everyone rush to the green warp pipe.
-Meanwhile at Bowser's castle-
(Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door ost - Bowser)
"Your Nastiness!" Kamek barge into the Throne room. "Ludwig has been defeated!"
"WHAAAAAAT!?" Bowser roared. "They managed to get pass Ludwig of all people?! That's it! No more Mr. Nice Koopa! Rally the Troops! This. Means. WAR!"
And now we almost arrive at the final Kingdom! Now for the battle of the world to begin!
