(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Hoohoo Village)
The group walked out of the caves.
"Are we here?" Elliot said.
"I think we are in the Beanbean Kingdom now." Rean answered
"Wow. Look at the waterfall. It's beautiful..." Ashe smiled
"Strange... Bowser should be somewhere around here. If we're lucky enough, we can find him, our classmates and our allies." Jusis said.
"Yeah, let's cross the bridge and see if-" Rean said as they walked to the bridge.
"HALT, YOU FIENDS!" A voice yelled as three Beanbean Guards charged at them with their spears drawn and forcing them to back up.
"H-Hey, what's going on!?" Ashe exclaimed
"We found you at last you scums! What have you done with Prince Peasley! Tell us!"
"Prince who?" Elliot asked.
"Don't lie to us! You did something to him!"
"Tell us your names, villains!"
"We're the Mario Bros!" Mario told them. "This is Class VII, well small group of them and Ashe, one of our guests!"
"What? No way! Mario, Luigi, Class VII would never come to visit us!"
"Now see here! We are speaking the truth!" Jusis defended.
"Ha! Liar!"
"Nyeck… Nyeeeh…" A voice groaned as they saw Tolstar flying toward them, looking completely battered and bruised. "They're… they're telling the truth… these guys are no jokes… They came here to chase someone name Cackletta... nyeeeh… ow… I'm gonna go lie down…" He said and flew off.
"Wait a minute, if Tolstar is telling the truth…" The guards looked at them. "Oh wow! It IS the famous Mario Bros, and the famous Class VII!"
"That is exactly what we've been telling you!" Jusis cross his arm
"Oh crap...Forgive us! A thousand apologize!" One of the guards said as he put his spear away.
"It's all right. You guys are just doing your jobs as soldiers of the kingdom. So What's going on?" Rean asked.
"You see, our prince, Prince Peasley has been kidnapped. According to the reports and testimony of the villagers here, a person who wore an odd helmet and spoke about things like mustard and fink rats… and now we got weird creatures that are not native to the Beanbean Kingdom."
"That sound like Fawful! He was the one who blow up the Koopa Cruiser!" Elliot exclaimed
"But what's these monsters you spoke up?"
"We don't know. But they came from different types of them. Some were like cat-shape hybrids, snail monsters, the list go on and on. But it doesn't stop there. New monsters appeared as well. They have like black skin and bone armor or something. You didn't see any weird creatures in Stardust Fields, right?"
"Like Tolstar." Jusis asked.
"Nyeck! I heard that!"
"He means well." The guard said.
"I wouldn't call it well since he was swindling our money."
"He's still doing that? Sheesh that guy..."
"But some of the monsters you describe sounds like the one seen in Zemuria." Elliot said
"Then it seems we will encounter monsters from our homeland. But the other ones you mention doesn't appeared to be our knowledge. Either it's a new monster or perhaps it was native to another nation." Jusis stated.
"There are monsters we called Demonic Beast... but I don't think they're here... at least, that is what I think." Ashe trailed off.
"Anyway, the search goes on with Prince Peasley. We'll make a note the fiend's name is Fawful. Let us be off! Be on your guards, travelers!" He said as one went back toward the mountain and two guards entered the cave.
"Let's-a go!" Mario said as they took off. As they did, they arrived at the village here in the mountain.
"Wow, this is a nice looking village!" Ashe smiled
"I'll say. It's look so homey!" Elliot nodded
"Welcome to Hoohoo Mountain!" A Hoohoolian greeted. "What brings you here to our humble home?"
"We're looking for our friend that got separated. Some wore the same uniforms as I do. Others wear the other uniform as our friend here." Rean answered
"Oh, I saw some of them went that way." A Hoohoolian turn to his back. "One of them was riding a fire horse. Which is surprising."
"A fire horse? That must be Gaius's pokemon!" Jusis said.
"Thank you for the info." Rean smiled and then they as they walked down the path… but as they did, they saw a familiar face.

(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - The Name is Fawful)
"G-Give us back Prince Peasley!" A guard ordered.
"Hmm, let me do the thinking…" Fawful smiled, and then his machine fired a shot at him that blew the guard away. "Nyah ha ha ha!"
"Hey you!" Rean yelled as Fawful's eyes widened through his glasses and turned around.
"Y-You again! How did you survive the exploding? You shouldn't have survived!"
"That isn't something you needed to know."
"I HAVE CHORTLES! You may have lost your friends, but you still wish to fight the great Fawful! You fink-rats amuse me!"
"There's nothing great about you who is a pupil of a fiend." Jusis comment. "Now tell us, what have you done to Prince Peasley?"
"Nyah ha ha ha! Like Fawful will answer that. The Great Cackletta is unleashing her next step of her tasty plans on the Beanbean Kingdom! And there's nothing you can do to stop us!"
"We face countless foes who said that remark and they ended being defeated in the end." Rean said. "What makes you so different?"
Fawful grinned. "Oh, you'll see, you black-haired ugliness! This is where we part ways… and this is where I'll do the stopping of you!" He said, firing a plasma shot from his machine as a humongous boulder slammed into the ground, and then he flew off.
(End BGM)
(Resume Hoohoo Village)
"Hey! Wait!" Mario yelled as he tried to jump over the boulder, but he couldn't.
"I got it!" Luigi tried to jump up as well, but even he discovered the boulder was too tall for him. "Wait a minute! Bro! Our hammers!"
"Oh! Good idea!" Mario nodded as he reach out his pocket but then it's gone. "Oh no! My hammer is missing!"
"Mine too! You don't they we left them at home, right?"
"I... think we did..."
"Well this is a problem... Laura and Millium should be able to break down the rock with no problem but..." Rean muttered
"But they're not here." Elliot sadden.
"What should we do now?" Ashe asked.
"Guess we'll have to find hammers we can borrow." Luigi answered. "Let's go ask around the town or a blacksmith here." He said and the party nodded and then went back to the village. The group started scaling the mountain again until they saw a group of Hoohoolian blocking a path by the house.
"What's going on here?" Ashe asked
"The Bridge is out and we're here telling anyone who wants to walk here." A Hoohoolian answered
"What happen to the bridge?"
"Someone smash it I think. But I don't know who through."
"I think it's safe to say Fawful must have been the one." Jusis muttered
"This isn't the first time someone block our path..." Elliot sighed. "But hey, let's ask the people here in this building if they have some hammers Mario and Luigi can use."
"It's worth a shot." Ashe nodded as they walked in and saw two hammers hammering a boulder.
(BGM paused)
(Kingdom Hearts II ost - Laughter and Merriment)
"All right. This is the last stone. Now let's show the true spirit of the Hammerhead bros!"
"Right! This is our last shot!"
The two of them started hammering the stone while the group looked on surprised
"Two people who resembles of hammer?" Ashe blicked.
Jusis sighed. "Well considering the whole situation about the world being merge... we should expect we should see different intelligent races. But this is something I did not expected."
"Yeah... It was only humans where i'm from but now things change a whole lot."
"Safe to say the same applies to Erebonia. Still, we should be respectful regardless." Rean said.
"Yeah, we're all people regardless." Elliot nodded.
The Hammerhead Bros finished their work… but the rock had crumbled.
"Aww! The stone isn't gonna do it..."
"Excuse us!" Mario caught their attention.
"Who are you?" The green hammer asked.
"Wait... I know those faces! It's Mario, Luigi, Rean Schwarzer, Elliot Craig and Jusis Albarea! I don't know who the gray hair one though." The red one said.
"Oh you're right! What brings you all here?"
"We're here asking if you guys have hammers we can buy or use." Mario answered "You see, we left ours at home and there is a place we need to go to but a rock is blocking our path."
"Ah, we understand. We can make you a new fresh set of hammers, but unfortunately, the materials you need is hoohoo blocks from the mountaintop and we just ran out. Normally Blablanadon would get them from us but he hasn't returned from the peak. Now our projects are meaningless." Sledge said.
"How come you couldn't go to the mountains yourselves?" Ashe asked.
"It's too high up. We rely on Blablanadon for assistance." Sledge responded.
"That and there are many monsters up there." Mallet said.
"Yeah, that's understandable." Elliot nodded. "Actually, is there another way we can reach Beanbean Castle?"
"If the path you mention is from the waterfall before then, unfortunately, that's the only path to reach Beanbean Castle." Sledge answered.
"Then the only options for us is the rock. But we need the Hoohoo blocks for them to make." Ashe said. "We should go climb up the mountain and get it. That way, they can make the hammers. And if possible Mr. Blab...la... What was his name again?"
"Blablanadon."
"Yes, Mr. Blablanadon is somewhere on top, we can ask him why he hasn't returned."
"Ashe's right. Let's go to the top of Hoohoo Mountain, get the Hoohoo Blocks, get back to Mr... Um, I don't think we caught your names." Rean said.
"I'm Sledge." Sledge introduce himself.
"And I'm Mallet." Mallet introduce himself
"Right. Get the Hoohoo Blocks and get back to Mr. Sledge and Mr. Mallet so they can wipe up some new hammers for the Mario bros to use."
"You'll be doing us a huge favor. And we'll return in kind by making you some special hammers."
"You scratch our backs and we'll scratch yours. The Hoohoolians should be done fixing the bridge by now." Sledge said.
"Hoohoolians? Are they the people from this village?" Jusis asked.
"That's correct."
"What an interesting name..." Jusis said with a flat expression. "It's like Hooligan but with an "Hoo" in the middle, and replace "gan" with "Lian".
Rean blicked. "That's... rather accurate..."
"Perhaps you shouldn't mention that to Levi. He might laughed." Elliot sweatdrop as they leave the house.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Hoohoo Mountain)
The group walked through the newly rebuilt bridge as they headed off into the next area, where they saw a Beanie walking around.
"Is that a walking Bean?" Ashe asked.
"I'm guessing they're the Goomba versions of the Beanbean Kingdom." Rean said as the Beanie went to attack them, but Mario kicked it toward a wall to defeat it.
"Yep, they're the Goomba versions." Mario nodded as they kept going up and climbing the mountain. The group arrived at the gaps where a small tornado is there.
"Hmm... this is certainly a problem. There's a gap here and I don't think we have the jumping skills you two possess." Jusis said.
"If only we had earth magic that can help us get across." Rean said.
"Do you need to get across?" A voice asked as they turn and see four people approached them. One is a boy and three are girls. But also accompany by a raven. Three are humans. One is some sort of flying thing.
The young man has a blonde hair, fiery-gold eyes, and slim builds with pale skin. His hair is somewhat medium length with uneven bangs at the front with waist-length braided hair at the back. His clothes are primarily consist of black, gold, and white. He wears a dark brown breastplate vest with gold and black accents bearing his midriff and adorned with a diamond ornament, a white scarf clamped with a gold clip, and a white two-tailed cape lined with golden embroidery. He wears dark hakama-like pants, dark brown gloves, and black boots accented with gold.
The young woman with fair skin next to him on his right has pale, sea green eyes. She has long dark purple hair with an uneven fringe tied up with black ribbons into two twintails, two gold compass rose ornaments clamped onto the tips. Her accessories consist of a gold earring designed to resemble a compass rose on her left ear, and a black choker necklace adorned with another gold compass rose. She wears a low-cut blue-purple backless leotard with detached blue-purple sleeves on her forearms and black gloves, along with a short blue-purple cloak, buttoned with a gold compass rose ornament hanging above her chest. She wears black translucent tights decorated with four-pointed stars on her left thigh. On top of her head rests a blue-purple witch hat, adorned with gold compass rose decals and ornaments.
The girl next to her has blonde hair, light green eyes, and a petite build with fair skin. Two sections of her hair are tied into twin tails with a black ribbon, the left of which is decorated with a bat wing pattern. She also wears a black eyepatch. She wears a sleeveless black lace dress-like leotard with a black lace collar and purple bow tie, crosses stitched in, and black and violet tailcoats. However, hidden under her hair reveals a black tattoo of wings. Fischl's vision is tied to the back of this dress with a bat wing-style purple ribbon. Next to her was a purple raven.
And lastly, the one next to the young man to the left is a fairy. She has thick white hair cropped just above her shoulders, dark purple eyes, and light skin. She wears a long-sleeved white jumper and a night-blue cape flecked with stars, and white stockings with white boots. Rose-gold embroidery and shapes are attached to her jumper, boots, and sleeves. Her accessories are a dark blue hairpin, almost black, and a rose-gold crown that levitates above her head.
"Oh. I never expected we would encounter humans here in the Beanbean Kingdom." Rean said.
"Hey is that a raven? And... huh?" Elliot blicked as he see the fairy. "Is that a fairy?!"
"Paimon is not a fairy. Paimon's Paimon!" She pouted.
"Well you had to admit you do look like one Paimon." The girl with the hat said.
"You are indeed correct boy with the orange hair. This is Oz. Oz is my familiar." Said the girl with the eyepatch.
"A pleasure to meet you all." Oz said.
"Whoa! The Raven talk!" Ashe exclaimed.
"That's right. But who are you guys?" Rean asked.
"Hello. My name is Aether. I'm just a traveler. The one of the right is Paimon. My traveling companion." Aether introduce himself as he turn to Paimon.
"That. I'm Paimon. Aether's best friend and traveling buddy!" Paimon respond with a smile.
"A pleasure to meet you. I'm Mona. I'm an Astrologist." Mona introduce herself.
"Greeting my loyal subjects, For I am Fischl, Prinzessin of the Immernachtreich." Fischl introduce herself.
"Your... subjects?" Jusis blicked.
"Prinzessin of the immernachtreich?" Elliot blicked.
"Oh just play along for the time being." Mona sighed. "In any event, we were surprise to find you here as well. Rarely humans visit the Beanbean Kingdom. Actually... come to think of it. Were you by any chance the people we saw falling from the sky?"
"That's us! You saw that?" Rean asked
"We certainly did. We're surprised to find you all alright." Aether nodded
"Yeah! I mean who falls from the sky? Paimon think people would have been found dead if they fall from the sky!" Paimon nodded
"It's a long story. But do you mind if that can wait for a moment?" Rean suggest.
"I suppose that can wait for a better time. So what brought you all here to the Beanbean Kingdom?"
"You see, our friend who is name Princess Peach, her voice was stolen by Cackletta who fled here." Elliot answered
"What? The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom?" Mona gasped.
"What vile of deed. What thus this Cackletta would do with the voice of the princess who rules the land of mushrooms?" Fischl asked
"What mein fraulwin mean is why would this Cackletta person steal Princess Peach's voice?" Oz translate.
"We don't know which is the scary part. But it has something to do with Beanbean Castle." Rean said. "We wanted to go over there. But Cackletta's pupil, Fawful created a large bolder to block our path. We needed a material called Hoohoo Blocks at the top of Hoohoo Mountain for Mr. Sledge and Mr. Mallet to force Mario and Luigi new hammers."
"Mario and Luigi?" Mona turn to Mario and Luigi. "Wait... I heard of you! The heroes of the Mushroom Kingdom! And those clothes... You wouldn't happen to be Class VII would you?"
"That's us. If you're wondering, we got separated from the rest of our classmates and allies." Elliot said.
"I see... so I'm guessing Cackletta and her minions must have cause you to fall from the sky."
"And you need to find some way to get on top of the mountain, but this gap is blocking your way?" Aether asked.
"Yes. We have comrades who can use earth magic, but unfortunately, we got separated." Jusis sighed.
"I see, let me give it a go." Aether said as he approach the gap and then he punch the ground and a bridge is formed.
"Whoa!" Ashe exclaimed.
"How did you do that!?" Elliot exclaimed. "Did you use magic?!"
"No, but I can control the elements. Let's go search for your friends." Aether smiled and then he walk towards the bridge.
"Hey wait up!" Paimon exclaimed as she, Mona, Fishel and Oz follow him.
"Wow... he can manipulate the elements?" Elliot gasped.
"Never mind that for the time being. Let us be off." Jusis said as the group nodded and follow Aether and his friends and arrived at the next area. Then they see some familiar faces. Gaius, Millium, Annette, Lorenz, Petra, and Dorothea.
"Gaius, Millium!" Rean called out as he and the group approached them.
"Rean! Elliot, Jusis!" Millium cheered.
"Ashe, is that you?" Annette exclaimed.
"Annette, Dorothea, Petra, and Lorenz! Thank the goddess you're all right!" Ashe sigh with relief.
"We share the same Ashe. And the rest of you as well. But who are these people you are accompanying?" Petra asked.
"Hello. My name is Aether, this is Paimon, Mona, Fishel, and Oz." Aether introduces himself and everyone else.
"I see, allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Lorenz Hellman Gloucester." Lorenz introduce himself. "Heir to House Gloucester of Fodlan's Leceister Alliance."
"I'm Annette. And this is Petra and Dorothea." Annette introduce herself and the other two girls.
"Very nice to meet you all." Dorothea wink.
"And my name is Gaius. And this is Millium. A pleasure." Gaius smiled.
"Nice to meetcha! It's awesome meeting a raven and a... thing?"
"Paimon is not a thing! Paimon's Paimon!" Paimon pouted
"Is Paimon some sort of... flying species I have not learned?" Petra asked.
"Yeah, we don't know what she is. But let's say she's a fairy. But let's move on, shall we?" Rean suggest
"Oh, right. I'm glad you're all okay regardless. We landed somewhere in this mountain called Hoohoo. We been looking for everyone else but we encounter strange monsters that we seen in Zemuria, but different monsters with black skin and bone-like armor." Gaius said.
"We heard about those from a guard who was searching for Prince Peasley. Fawful block our path to reach Beanbean Castle." Elliot explained.
"Mario and Luigi forgot their hammers so in order to get new hammers, we need to go to the top of Hoohoo Mountain." Rean added
"Hoohoo... Mountain? That is a strange name for a mountain." Petra said.
"I'll say, but this is a new nation so we should expected to see new things and new names." Dorothea said.
"Still, I bet our friends must be at Beanbean Castle. So we should hurry." Annette nodded.
"Right we should-" Rean paused as the group heard of a Growl.
(BGM paused)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Plus Bowser's Minions ost - Come on!)
They turn their direction and see Grimms accompany by monsters of Zemeria. The Grimms are Beowolf, and Creeps. And the monsters from Zemuria are Evil Crow.
"Ah! Monsters!" Ashe exclaimed.
"More of them!" Annette exclaimed.
"Yeah, the crow monster is from Zemeria, but those black things are different!" Rean said as everyone got out their weapons. "Everyone, brace yourself!"
"Right!" Everyone nodded as those with combat links form up.
Rean, Elliot and Jusis charge forwards the Beowolf while Annette and Dorothea supports them with magic. Gaius take on the Evil Crow with Millium, and Lorenz, and Ashe support from the rear with Mona. Petra fights again the Creep with Aether, the Mario Bros, Fischl and Oz. The Beowolf launch a claw attack at Jusis but dodge and trust attack while Rean strikes from the left and Elliot launch several Orbal blast. Annette cast wind magic and Dorothea cast Thunder magic. While Petra dodges the Ursa's attack and then stab it on the opening it, follow up with Aether who strikes from left side as Fischl shoot lighting arrows at it. Mario and Luig jump on the Evil Crow with the Splash Bro attack and force it on the ground, giving an opening to for Gaius and Millium with Airgetlam and Lorenz to strike. The Evil Crow got up and then launch a claw attack on Millium. Then Gaius stab it on the stomach with Lorenz join it and vanished it. While Petra strikes the Creep from it's other opening as it launch a claw attack as Aether send a crystal shard under the Creep and killed it. Ashe shoot two arrows towards the Beowolf arm as it roared Then charge towards him. But then Mona send water attacks at it, join with a splash over it. Follow with Fischl and elecuite it. Then Jusis finishes it with rapid trusts and then wipes and kills it.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Hoohoo Mountain)
"Phew... We made it." Elliot sighed with relief and put away his Orbal Staff.
"What are those things? You said that bird monster was from your homeland?" Annette asked
"Yeah. But those black things are different." Elliot nodded
"What were those horrible beasts?" Lorenz asked. "Also, what was that white thing that suddenly appeared?"
"That "white thing" isn't a thing. It's Lammy." Millium pouted.
"And what is this Lammy?"
"That's classified information."
"Wha-"
"The only thing I can tell you if it's a combat shell."
"Combat... shell?" Paimon asked. "It look so... um... what's the word?"
"Mechanical?" Aether asked.
"Maybe?"
"Airgetlam is Millium's weapons. It's like a white puppet she can control and it can do plenty of things. But that's what we know so far. It's best to leave it at that." Rean explained
"I still have more questions." Lornez said.
"Leave it alone Lorenz, She's not going to answer regardless." Dorothea said.
"Back to the matter of those black creatures. They resemble a bear and a wolf like creature. I do not detect any form of life from them." Petra said. "They are not living creatures."
"You mean they're... undead?" Ashe gulped.
"Ooh, that's scary..." Annette gulp.
"Very scary..." Elliot nodded.
"It's too early to jump to that. Maybe we should ask someone who know about them." Dorothea suggested.
"Right. Someone must know about them." Gaius nodded. "Let's move on." He said and everyone nodded as they started to climb the mountain once more where they saw weird faces on the walls, small fires and a drinking fountain nearby.
"Oh, look a fountain!" Annette cheered.
"Oh thank goodness, I'm thirsty." Mario sighed with relief and then approached the fountain. As he drinks, he accidentally went overboard as he started waddling over.
"Mmm… I think I drank too much."
Rean sweatdropped. "I think you did."
Dorothea sighed.
"What's wrong Dorothea?" Annette asked
"Oh nothing. Seeing the fountain reminds me of some memories."
"I gotcha Mario." Luigi said as he hop over Mario and then land on him and made him spit out water like a geyser towards the weird. to the face in the wall and made a small tornado. "Huh! Well, that's convenient."
"Still, I don't think we'll need it. Let me." Aether said as he stomp his feet and then the earth formed stairs.
"Whoa! How did you do that?!" Annette exclaimed.
"He has the ability to manipulate the elements. Let's leave it a that. Shall we?" Mona said and then she and everyone else walked off, defeating any Beanie or Dry Bones in their way until they got to a clearing, complete with a statue surrounded by a few pillars.
"Whoa, where are we?" Paimon asked.
"It appears we have arrived at some ancient ruins of an ancient civilization." Fischl answered.
"Now that you mention it, it does, doesn't it?" Mona asked.
"You are correct..." A voice said.
"Who said that?" Rean asked.
"I did." The statue said as they turn to it.
"Bah! A talking statue?!" Annette exclaimed.
"I am Hoohooros… An ancient weapon of the Hoohoo civilization. Beyond this point, the path grows even crueler. You must prove yourselves to the challenge. Dare you wish to try this challenge"
"Yes. We accept the challenge.." Rean nodded.
"Very well then…" Hoohooros said as orbs appeared on the pillars. "In this first test, you must collect 10 Hoohoo Spirits within 35 seconds! Do not fall off the ledges, or you will immediately fail."
"How are we supposed to do that?!" Mona claimed
"Let us handle it." Mario said as he and Luigi High Jump at the ledges and ready themselves for the Spin Jump.
"Now... Begin!" Hoohooros declared.
One Hoohoo Spirit test completed later...
"Now for your next challenge. You must defeat me!" Hoohootas declared as he change formed.
"Very well. Let us pass this test!" Petra declared.
"Yeah!" Everyone nodded
(BGM paused)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Come on again!)
Hoohooros summoned up two pillars, quickly hiding in one.
"Which one did he go?!" Millium exclaimed
"The one to the left!" Mona answered.
"Take this!" Millium summoned Airgetlam as Airgetlam smash the pillars easily as it crumbles
"What in the world!" Lornez exclaimed
"Your other left!" Mona palm face
But Hoohoois wasn't underneath it as a small laser hits Millium on her chest.
"Oow!" Millium winched as Dorothea cast thunder and Annette cast Wind towards the pillar and shattered it. Then Hoohooros appeared underneath.
"There you are!" Dorothea said but then Hoohoois summoned four pillars this time and hide underneath them. "Wha-?!"
"What cowardly move!" Lorenz comment as he charge at one of the pillars and then slash it with his lance. Only to find out Hoohoois isn't underneath the pillar he attack and got laser. "Oof!"
"Such faith-heartly tactic for the guardian. Thou must observe one's shadow beyond the essence from the below or thou must shatter the earth itself on one strike." Fischl said as almost everyone is confused what she said.
"Um... what?" Annette asked.
"What mein Fraulwin means is we must look at the shadow of our foes moments before it moves. Or we can attack all pillars at the same time." Oz translate.
"Oh that make sense... wait... you can talk?!"
"In that case..." Gaius said and then he leap into the air and use his Craft: Savage Fang and cause pillars underneath the pillars and shatter while also catch Hoohooros by surprise.
"There he is!" Petra said as she dash towards Hoohooros and then launches swift slashes towards it. Join with Rean's Gale craft, Elliot's follow up attack. Ashes arrows and Mona's water attack splash.
"Everyone let's go!" Rean shout and then everyone charge in and did an all out attack on Hoohooros as Lorenz launched multiple trust attack, and then a powerful downright slash and defeated Hoohoros.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Hoohoo Mountain)
"Mmmph! Well fought. You have passed this test too. Now you must face the test of reaching the summit." Hoohooros said as he opens a path for them to take and then disappeared.
"Well, that was certainly an eventful." Paimon said.
"Though the brought side is now we can reach the mountain top." Aether said.
"Right. Let's go." Gaius nodded
"Well, here goes nothing..." Annette sighed.
"It's okay Annette, if you get tired. I'll help you up." Elliot smiled.
"Thanks Elliot." Annette smiled as they start climbing up the mountain as they encounter more monsters and Grimm along the way, they tried to take them down but they were all defeated as they kept climbing until they got to the very top.
"Yay! We finally made it to the top!" Ashe cheered.
"Oh look, there's a telescope!" Paimon pointed and Aether begin to use the telescope. "What do you see?"
"Let's see..." Aether said as he use it. "Oh, I see the castle! That must be the Beanbean Castle! Hmm... I don't think it's far from Hoohoo Village."
"What else do you see?" Dorothea asked
"Let's see… I see a forest, a desert, an island, a building... but don't know what type it is. I also see a town... and... oh, there's a wide space below the town."
"A wide space?" Mona asked.
"Maybe it's another town?" Millium shrug.
"Guys, over here!" Mario called them over as they approached the bros.
"What's up?" Elliot asked.
"I think we found the stones." Luigi said.
"Then mission accomplish. Now let's grab two of them and be on our way. I just hope they aren't too heavy." Jusis said as he walked over to pick one up, unintentionally waking up the sleeping Pterodactyl on an egg.
"Hey! What are you doin'!"
"Wah!" Jusis yelped.
"You shouldn't take things that aren't yours!"
" And who are you?" Rean asked.
"I am Blablanadon!"
"So you're Blablanadon. So you were all this time." Jusis said.
"Yeah, Mr. Sludge and Mr. Mallet and the villagers in Hoohoo Village were worried about you. Ever since you left, they're worried that something happened to you." Elliot said.
"Really? Oh shoot, I didn't mean to worry everyone! You see, I saw Prince Peasley and follow him up here. And then I saw this huge egg had appeared! I was shocked! I was speechless! Which is rare! So I decided o keep this poor egg warm ever since!" Blablanadon explained.
"Oh so that's why."
"Aww, what a sweet thing to do." Annette giggled as the egg started to crack beneath Blablanadon. "Oh! Look! It's beginning to hatch!"
"You're right!" Blablanadon nodded as he flew up. "It's hatching! I wonder what it could be? My suspense is killing me!" He asked as they all watched intently as the egg started to break… and then a dragon popped out.
"Wha- is that... a dragon!?" Lorenz exclaimed.
"Talk about a crazy egg!" Blablanadon also exclaimed
The dragon, known as Dragohoho, shoots a stone from its mouth at Blablanadon, knocking him off the mountain as it also knocked the stone into the water as it somehow floated down the waterfall. It let out a roar and glared at the rest.
"Let's take this dragon out!" Mario exclaimed as they got in their fighting stances.
"But dragons are supposed to be too powerful, aren't they?!" Lorenz exclaimed.
"We face Demonic Beasts before but this one looks pale in comparison." Dorothea said. "Though it puts a bad taste in my mouth to harm a hatchling. But he rudely attack our winged friend and now going to attack us. So let's discipline this thing."

(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga +Plus Bowser's Minions ost - Prince Peasley)
"Ahahaha!" He laughed as he flipping his golden hair fabulously. "Cheers to your teamwork!"
"The dragon transform into a... human?" Rean blicked.
"He looks too green if you ask me. Are you okay?" Paimon asked.
"I am perfectly fine, thank you for asking." He answered.
"And who are you?" Jusis asked.
"Why I am Prince Peasley, at your service!"
"Y-You're a prince?!" Lorenz exclaimed. "M-My deepest apologies Your Highness! We did not know you were the dragon who attack us!"
"Feat not. That wasn't me, but rather an instinct of a monster." Prince Presley said as he flip his hair again and look at every one. "Ah! You must be the famous Mario Bros and Class VII! Well, a fragment of the whole group.. and the others I do not know. But fear not, I will learn your names in due time!"
"Okay, so what happen to you? How did you suddenly change into that thing?" Paimon asked.
"Well I suppose you can call it a bit of an accident. As I was investigating events throughout the country for this top secret mission i'm on... I suddenly encountered Cackletta and her vile underling, Fawful, here on this mountain. They let me into a trap and turn me into the monster you all faced inside the egg. I am glad you defeated me and I regain my senses."
"I should have known Cackletta and Fawful would have done this! How dare they committed another crime!" Jusis growled.
"There is no mercy for the likes of them. They must be stopped at all cost!" Lorenz nodded.
"Yeah. Your Highness. We came to the Beanbean Kingdom to retrieve Princess Peach's voice stolen by Cackletta and Fawful. We were hoping we would go to the castle to try to figure this out."
Peasley waggled his finger. "Fear not, my friend! I wouldn't worry about Princess Peach's voice. You have nothing to fear."
"What do you mean by that?" Mario asked. "Do you know something we don't?"
"Hmmhmmhmm, you will just have to wait and see, my dear plumber. At any rate, we should chase after Cackletta. You all need to visit my mother, Queen Bean in Beanbean Castle once you climb down the mountain. Cackletta's next target is in the Beanbean castle. I'd bet my life on it!" Then he pulled out a yellow rose. "Oh, one more thing. Here is a gift from me to you. An autographed in a way." He toss it to Luigi.
"Ooh, nice rose." Luigi said.
"Indeed. I say, I believe the rose matches your green attire perfectly! If you show that rose at Beanbean Castle, they'll permit you to enter! And with that, I must be off. We'll meet again." Peasley said, summoning his flying bean platform and flew off.

"He certainly is a charming one." Annette said.
"Agreed. He certainly has the charisma." Lorenz smiled
"I think he is weird." Paimon said.
"Paimon don't you disrespect a royalty!"
"Aah! I'm sorry!"
"You should consider choosing your words more careful, isn't there are any soldiers who overheard you, you would most likely taken into custody."
"Over a comment?!"
"He's not wrong you know." Mona said.
"Hmm, what does Prince Peasley mean by that through?" Rean him as he rub his chin.
"Yeah, that was strange for him to say that." Elliot nodded
"Hmm, there's something going on behind the scenes." Jusis said.
"At any rate my subjects. We shall adventure forth towards the castle of Beans, where the rulers of this nation awaits. Lets we forget the evil one target is also within it's walls." Fischl stated
"Fischl's right. Let's hurry to Beanbean Castle." Aether nodded.
"Right, let's grab the Hoohoo stones and get back to our hammer friends too." Rean added and then he and jusis pick one up and Blablanadon flying over to them, having a bandage over his head.
"I can fly you down, Grab on!" He requested.
"Are you sure? there's may of us." Elliot said.
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
A few trips later...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Hoohoo Village)
"Thanks for the lift!" Paimon smiled.
"Anytime!" Blablanadon said as they walked back to the Hammerhead Bros' house.
"Aha! You all arrived just in time! A Hoohoo Block fell down in the waterfall!" Sledge said.
"And now we can use this to make you the ultimate Hammer!" Mallet added.
"A stone fall off the waterfall? We bought you these Hoohoo stones too." Rean said as he and Jusis pulled them out.
"Not to worry, we can create something else from those stones. What would you like it to be?"
The group think for a moment.
"Oh, How about a Tachi? An eastern sword." Rean suggests.
"And can we add a sword to that? Mine is getting one out." Aether said as he reveal his is nearly worn out.
"Understood! We'll get work on the hammers and then the rest!" Sludge answered and then they begin to work on their craftsmanship. After a few moments, two hammers lying on the table and the Bros admiring their craftsmanship. "And there we are, they're all yours!"
"Thanks!" Luigi said, as he and Mario took the hammers.
"Okay, now for the Tachi and a Sword. Give them here."
Two crafting later...
"And it's done!" Mallet declared revealing two beautiful swords. A Tachi with flawless shine and steel and the handle is a black handle and black sheath. Next was a sword with with some purple lining and purple color theme with lighting.
"Whoa... those look amazing!" Rean said as he pick up the Tachi and Aether pick up the sword.
"Thank you so much." Aether smiled
"Our pleasure. They're all ours, in the house for the trouble you endure." Sludge smiled
"Thank you so much." Rean smiled as they left the house and followed them went back down to the boulder that Fawful out in their way, shattering it.
"Wahoo!" Mario exclaimed, high fiving Luigi.
"Let's-a go!" Luigi exclaimed as they took off.
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Hoohoo Mountain)
The party walked through the mountain trail leading down the base of the mountain, where the Mario Bros hammered any boulder in the way. A few Turtle Bugs, but the hammers destroyed them. Soon they walked into the cave, where they noticed some mine carts.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - File Select)
"Why must we enter a cave?" Lorenz complained.
"Oh stop your whining and deal with it." Mona said.
"It's part of the adventure Lorenz. Of course I don't expect you to live with it since you're a noble." Dorothea said.
"I beg your pardon?! I can assure you I can handle this without complains!" Lorenz pouted
"Then enlighten us. Don't complain anything over the smallest details of adventure and good fortunate awaits you." Mona said.
"Very well. I'll show you that I can be composure."
"Or Flexiable." Fischl replied.
"Hello there…" The Minecart owner greeted.
"Oh, hello. Excuse us, but do you know the route to go down the mountain?" Rean asked
"Well, there is one way. You can use the mine cart. It's the only fastest route off the base of the mountain." The minecart owner explained.
"If this is the quickest way then so be it." Lorenz said.
"I just hope it isn't too crazy." Luigi said.
Mario sweatdropped. "I think you just jinxed it, bro."
Luigi sighed. "Why me?"
"Okay, how much is it to use the minecart?" Aether asked.
"It's free."
"Okay! Let's go down the mine carts!" Paimon grinned as they walked over and noticed there were only two. "Okay... this is a problem. There's too many of us and two Mine carts here!"
"Guess either we take turns or squeeze in." Dorothea sighed.
"Hmm, judging by the size, I say it can hold up to five people." Ashe said.
"Then take turn it is." Mona said. "Who will go first?"
"Me, Mario, and any of you guys can join us."
"I'll join you." Jusis said.
"Hmph. I suppose I shall." Fischl said as she step forward.
"And guess that leaves me." Dorothea said as she walk towards them.
"And I'll take this one." Mona said.
"Then I shall join you." Lornez said.
"I'll join too." Aether said.
"I'll be coming along." Gaius said.
"Okay, that's five people. Let us be off." Mona said as the separate groups hopped in the separate mine carts and the others.
After the Mine carts...
"Woohoo! Lucky us!" Paimon said with greedy eyes with eyes that since her team manage to get some jewels.
"I must say, we can definitely sell these for money." Mona nodded
"Ahaha! Look are these wonderful gemstones." Lornez laughed.
"And it surprisingly went smoother then expected too." Dorothea said. "Anyway, let's be off."

(Resuming Hoohoo Mountain)
The party got out and walked out of the cave, the bros hammering the boulders in the way until they eventually stepped foot into the Beanbean Fields.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga +Bowser's Minions ost - Welcome to the Beanbean Kingdom!)
"Oh my! This is simply splendid!" Dorothea exclaimed in awe as they stared at the fields before them.
"You're right! Look at all that lush green fields… the trees… all of it is beautiful!" Ashe smiled as they walked through the field until they came across some Sharpeas.
"Oh, are these guys suppose to be monsters?" Paimon asked as the Sharpeas looked at them and quickly got into a defensive position, ready to fight them.
"And now it wanted to fight us. Well, we are in their territory." Jusis said as he and everyone else ready to take on the Sharpeas. Soon it was over. "With that done. let us be off."
The Party walked off and further along the trail where they saw the whole area opening up before them.
"Ahh, nothing is more relaxing then the beauty of nature." Lorenz said.
"If only Ignatz is here. He would love to draw a picture." Gaius smiled
"Hmm?" Ashe turn his head and notice something on the tree. There was a Treeko climbing it.
"Treeko." It said.
"Whoa, what's that?" Ashe asked
"Huh. Paimon doesn't know." Paimon said.
"Treeko?" The Treeko title his head.
"Hmm... if it repeatedly said it name... oh! It must be a pokemon!" Rean said.
"A poke what?" Paimon title her head.
"They're magical creatures who have amazing supernatural abilities and powers. And judging by it. It looks like a grass type."
"Aww, it looks completely adorable!" Dorothea giggled as the Treeko jump off the tree and then look at Ashe.
"Huh? What's up?" Ashe asked as the Treeko hop onto Ashe's shoulder. "Whoa!" Then it nuzzled him. "Ehehe. That tickles. Aww you wanted to be my friend don't you?"
"Oh! Maybe Treeko here want to be your partner Ashe!" Elliot said.
"My partner?"
"That's right. Back in one of the regions we visit. Humans and pokemon co-exist together. Pokemon can even be partners for pokemon battles and stuff like that." Rean nodded. "And if it wants you as his partner, you should consider it."
"You can borrow one of my pokeballs."
"I'm not so sure, I mean I don't mind but..." Ashe trailed off and then stare at Treeko. "Ooh, I couldn't say no. Okay, give it here."
Elliot gave Ashe a Pokeball and then Ashe offer it to Treeko. And then Treeko tap it and then it enter the Pokeball and then move a bit and then heard a ding.
"You got it Ashe! It's official now!" Millium cheered
"Wow... my first pokemon partner." Ashe said in awe and then Ashe's treeko pop out.
"Treeko!" Ashe's Treeko cheered
"Hey there Treeko! My name is Ashe. I'm looking forward to be your partner!"
"Treeko tree!"
"Alright, let's-a go!" Mario said as they walked off. Then they spotted spoke ahead.
"…Is that smoke up ahead?" Millium asked.
"Something's wrong... We better go and fast." Gaius said and they nodded and rush towards the area with the smoke. They took down a few monsters and sworms that popped out of the ground. Soon they begin to enter the town.
Okay! Looks like that is done! And guess what. I decided for certain characters of Fire Emblem to have their pokemon! Oh, and I'm bringing in the Genshin Impacts! I love the game so why not? Next up, the party will journey into town. But... they'll find something shocking... stay tuned!"
