(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Oho Oasis)
Rean, Byleth and Levi descended on the sand. Edelgard, Dimitri, Huberts and the Mario Bros are all right.
"Well, that certainly turn unexpected..." Hubert sighed. "Still, it seems we do owe a dept of gratitude for our mage who save us in the nick of time."
"Yes, I thought that we were able to get a firm grip on the Beanstar... but it prove even the heavest wouldn't be enough." Edelgard sighed. "Still, thank you Dimitri for tamping to take the blow."
"It was my pleasure, still, fortunate smiles upon us nonetheless." Dimitri nodded as Hubert glared because he wanted to be the one.
"Are you all, alright?" Byleth asked.
"We are. Thanks to whoever casted that magic." Hubert answered
"Right, Thank you for that, Levi."
"I'm just glad everyone made it out okay... But I wasn't able to save Bowser since he was falling afar..." Levi sighed.
"Levi... he got his memories back... although at bad timing..." Rean nodded.
"So how long are you two going to keep wrapping each other?" Edelgard asked
"Huh?"
Rean and Levi look at each other and then their faces turn red and then quickly let go of each other.
"S-Sorry Rean..." Levi intertwine his fingers
"N-No. I'm grateful, really." Rean said as his head was on his neck.
Byleth chuckled. "You two look cute together." That comment made them blush even more.
"So now where are we?" Luigi asked.
"I guess we should look around." Mario said.
"I been meaning to ask. I'm sure the others are curious about it too but, what was that underneath your feet when you all fought Cackletta and the other bosses?" Edelgard asked
"Oh, It's our combat links." Rean answered
"Combat links?" Dimitri asked as Rean explain it to them. "Oh my... that certainly change the flow of battle... mechanism that you can sync with... forming combat links that "link" with your partner. I wonder if we can have one of those too..."
"It will no doubt be benefitual. But perhaps we can talk about that another time." Edelgard said.
"Indeed. Right now, we're stranded somewhere in some... beach." Hubert nodded
"Yes... best we be off from the waters..." Edelgard nodded and then the group begin to explore.
"Hey, Levi... I thought Light Magic was the only magic you have. I didn't know you can use Wind Magic." Rean said to him.
"Well... that's... one of the magic I can use..."
"One of them?"
"Let's talk about that another time, k?" Levi nervous smile and then it died down with a sign.
'What are you hiding, Levi?' Rean thought.
Soon, they begin to see a temple.
"That looks like a temple." Luigi said.
"Let's go inside." Mario said and then as he walked in, as did the others.
(BGM paused)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Joke's End)
The group went to explore the temple where they spotted a hole in the wall that looked like it could be climbed through. Mario went through the hole easily as did Edelgard. The others tried to go in but the hole suddenly sealed itself shut before Hubert could go in.
"Wha-" Hubert said.
"What just happen?" Levi asked.
"Guess we should find another way." Rean said.
With the duo...
"Oh my, what is this?" Edelgard wondered, staring at a large fiery crystal ball with Mario.
"I don't know… but it looks so pretty." Mario said as they walked up the stairs where they were greeted by a spirit who had appeared before them.
"Welcome, yes, welcome! Welcome to the Fire Palace! I have been waiting for you. I have waited many long years, smoldering like embers. For you I have kept waiting... and waiting... and WAITING! In fact, the last time anyone came through here was... 3,000 years ago!"
"For 3,000 years?" Edelgard blicked.
"That's right! Oh, waiting just burns me UP! But enough about that... So, why have you come?"
"I think you might be coming for someone else?" Mario title his head.
"I did?"
"I believe so. We were just exploring the ruins. Actually, what is this place?" Edelgard asked
"Why it's place of power. it's... It's... it's..." Then he look around. "Huh... What is this place exactly?"
Edelgard sweatdrop. "That is what we want to know. And who are you, anyway?"
"I am… uh… who am I again…? Um…"
"Are you all right?"
"Sorry… As I said earlier, you two are the first people to ever enter the palace in nearly 3,000 years. I guess having no guest for 3,00 years take a toll. Everything seems to... slip one's mind!"
"Then you don't mind if we look around?" Mario asked
"Why not? I won't stop you." He said before he vanished.
"What a strange... being... Could he be an entity?" Edelgard hummed an then she and Mario walked over to the fiery orb as they stared at it... before their hands subconsciously reached over and touched the orb. They felt a burning sensation as the fire coursed through their bodies as Mario and Edelgard's eyes both glowed orange before they jumped back, their eyes turning back to normal.
"AHA!" The spirit returned. "I just remembered now! This is the famed Fire Palace where we teach the way of the blistering Hand Power!"
"Hand Powers?" Edelgard asked.
"That's right. I am Firebrand and those who touch my orb will be given the Firebrand technique!" The spirit turn around and see Mario and Edelgard said as their hand conjured a fireball. "Oh! Looks like the two of you already have it!
"Firebrand…?" Mario wondered.
"Correct, you both want to master the fiery power of Firebrand, do you not?"
Mario and Edelgard look at each other and then nodded.
"Then let's begin!" He said, snapping his fingers as the two were taken somewhere else.
Meanwhile with the others...
"Explain to me again why we have to go through here?" Hubert asked as he growled as they're at the Thunder Palace this time.
"We tried looking the other way and found nothing. So I'm hoping this place here gives us a chance to go back there." Claude answered as Dimitri and Luigi walk through the gate and then the gate suddenly close on Levi, Rean, Claude and Hubert. "Aaand here we go again..."
With the Duo again...
"What a curious place." Dimitri said as he and Luigi approached the stairs, walked up the stars, then a spirit appeared before them.
"To you who have wandered into the Thunder Palace. This is a training ground for the chosen few. I do not know how you found your way here, nor how you managed to enter this place... But I have no business with you both... and you have none with me. Depart, posthaste." He said then he disappeared.
"That's... odd... What is he?" Dimitri asked.
"I don't know but eh." Luigi rolled his eyes and walked forward.
"Are you sure we should approach it?"
"We're just going to look, there's no harm in that."
"I... guess..." Dimitri said as he and Luigi appoached the Thunder orb, entranced by its beauty.
They subconsciously reached over and touched the orb, and then both of them got zapped by the electricity as it coursed through their veins as their eyes glowed blue before they jumped back, Luigi and Dimitri letting out a pained yelp.
"Ugh! That hurt!" Dimiri shake his hand.
"I'll say..." Luigi shake his hand as well.
"YOU FOOLS!" The spirit appeared before them. "You dare touched the Thunderhand orb! …And yet… you have survived the shock! Color me impressed."
"We apologize, we didn't mean too-"
"Stop." He said raising his hand. "Don't concern yourself with it. You both have the qualities needed to master the galvanic Thunderhand technique."
"Thunderhand technique?" Luigi asked as he open his hand and electricity appeared in his hand. "Whoa!"
"Oh my..." Dimitri said as his hand open and electricity appeared.
"And with that, I shall instruct you in the art of the Thunderhand. Come." He said shaping his finger and taking those two somewhere.
(BGM ended)
Outside…
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga ost - Jump! DX (Ground Theme))
The two spirits popped up outside of the temple. "Oh! Hello brother." Firebrand greeted.
"Greetings, brother." Thunderhand greeted. "I assume you're here to train them as well?"
"That is correct."
"Bro?!" The Mario Bros exclaimed in surprise.
"Edelgard?!" Dimitri exclaimed in shock
"Dimitri?! Why are you here?" Edelgard asked in surpsied
"All right, enough chit-chat." Thunderhand clapped to get the attention. "Now in order to master your technique. Let us see you can channel it properly. Go on, channel it."
The four of them nodded and they both open their hands and then channel the Firebrand/Thunderhand. So far so good.
"Good. But how about in battle?" Firebrand asked "There are a few Oho Jees around the area who will respond to your techniques." Firebrand said as he disappeared, reappearing with a red Oho Jee and a blue Oho Jee. "Now, give it a try with your Firebrand."
"And you give it a try with Thunderhand." Thunderhand added
The four looked at each other and nodded as they got in their battle stances as the Oho Jees curiously looked at them… Mario and Luigi use their Fireband/Thunderhand on the separate color Oho Jees and the Oho Jee reacted.
"AAAAAAH!" Both Oo Gee reacted as they begin to run away in circles.
Mario and Luigi charge after them while Dimitri charge at the Blue Oo Jee but it dodge his attack and then damn him. But Dimitri deflect the attack and push the Oho Jee back and then he channel his Thunderband into his lance and then launch rapid trust attack on it with lighting. However, it only motivated him more and then spin around again.
Edelgard channel her fireband on her Axe and slash the Oho Gee and toss it. But it still spin around in circles.
"They're reacting to our attacks... perhaps we should switch opponents and see the results." Edelgard advised.
"Agreed. Mario nodded as he and Edelgard switch with Luigi and Dimitri. They begin to confront the Oho Jee and using their band again. They reacted and this time, they look like in pain.
"Oh, I get it. The blue one must have increase it's power when lighting is involve." Luigi said as he dodge the upcoming attack from the Blue Oho Jee.
"And the red one is weak to lighting. Just as the blue is weak to fire." Mario said.
"Interesting. Let's continue on." Edelgard suggested.
(BGM ended)
One training later...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Oho Oasis)
"Hmm… you seem seemed to have it figured out, but it will take a while for you to truly master it." Firebrand said.
"Indeed. I think with enough practice, you will have it mastered. Until then…" Thunderhand said as they both disappeared.
"Oh, there you guys are."
The four turned to see the others approaching them.
"Lady Edelgard. Thank goodness you are not harmed." Hubert said.
"We were looking all over for you since you disappeared." Rean said. "Where did you go?"
"We were in this location training." Edelgard answered
"Training?" Levi asked curiously.
"That's right. Me, Luigi have been granted the ability to use lighting. While Mario and Edelgard can use fire through our hands." Dimitri explained. "Firebrand and Thunderhand to be exact."
"Okay, show us." Byleth requested as Mario and Edelgard both took out their hands and conjured up a small fireball while Dimitri and Luigi had their hands crackle with electricity, as everyone looked impressed. "I must say, that's impressive."
"I wonder if I can use." Levi wondered
"Hmm... good question. Perhaps I should give Firebrand a try." Rean said.
"Still, Lady Edelgard posses the power to bend fire to her will... hehehe. What a fascinating gift." Hubert dark chuckled.
"I just hope she doesn't use it to make everyone a torch when you become emperor." Claude smirked.
"Very funny Claude." Edelgard rolled her eyes. "And what about Dimitri? Surely you have one since he can bend lighting to his will."
"True. He probably conjured up a storm when he became King."
"Really, Claude?" Dimitri sighed.
"Joking aside, I hope you both can use this power for good. But it also seems you're still a beginner. Perhaps I can help you hone it. And probably ask around if there someone more capable to use it properly."
"Understood my teacher. And you're right." Edelgard smiled.
"Yes, I just wonder what comments our friends will make when we show them." Dimitri chuckled.
"Not just them, your girlfriend too." Claude smirked.
"Claude!"
"You have a girlfriend Dimitri?" Levi asked.
"I swear, Sylvain..." Dimitri palmface. "Well... I sort of did ask Professor Byleth's twin sister, Brianna awhile back with the ball at Garreg Mach. It was awkward and I had no intention of dancing with anyone. Festivities like those don't suit me. And Brianna felt the same. So I ask her if she with to join me for a bit after getting a bit tired from the ball. We headed to the Goddess Tower, talk about the legends, and then headed for bed. The next part is... uncomforting for Professor Byleth as well..."
"Wait, what happened?" Rean asked
"It's all right Dimitri, you can tell them..." Byleth said as he close his eyes.
"If that is your wish Professor Byleth..." Dimitri sadden. "That is when Professor Byleth, Captain Jeralt... was murdred in front of Professor Byleth very eyes." That made Levi and Rean gasped.
"What?" Rean asked in shocked.
"Who did that?" Levi growled.
"Monica... or rather... Kronya. She killed my father. But you don't have to worry about her. I got my revenge and killed her." Byleth sighed as he look up at the sky.
"It was a devastating time for both Professor Byleth and Brianna... I was comforting her in her room. Having to lose their father... I can understand how they both feel. After some comforting words... well... let's just say we comfort ourselves too much."
"They kissed and became boyfriend and girlfriend." Byleth explained.
"P-Professor Byleth!"
"So that's the story behind it." Edelgard said with a grin.
"Ahh the old comforting. Nice." Claude smirked. "No wonder Sylvain was shocked you got yourself a hot girlfriend when he saw the two of you making out."
"So he did see that!" Dimitri said as he's mad him. "So I bet he was the one who spread those rumors!"
"Well, he's not wrong. Back then, you and Brianna were spending more time with each other, training and otherwise. It doesn't surprise me if you two have a interest in each other." Edelgard said.
"Let's drop the subject, please."
"All right, all right. We can talk about love another time. We should get back and not worried the others. Claude said as they walked ahead as they saw the Mario Bros using their powers to light the two statues as they saw the ground rising up in front of an island that held a Warp Pipe.
"Is that a large pipe?" Dimtri asked.
"It's a Warp Pipe." Luigi answered
"A Warp Pipe?" Hubert asked.
"It's basically a magical pipe that can take you places. So let's see where this one goes." Mario explain as went into the warp pipe.
(BGM ended)
On the other side of the pipe.
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Oho Ocean)
"Mmph?!" Edelgard blubbed and panicked while in the water.
Mario immediately looked for anything that looked like he and the others could be able to breathe through and then noticed a ? Block. He immediately swam toward it and hit it, hoping to find a Penguin Suit. A bunch of Penguin Suits came out. Mario took it and then pass in to everyone and they all got it and now they're able to breathe underwater.
"Bah! Wha- What!?" Edelgard exclaimed.
"Lady Edelgard, are you all right?!" Hubert exclaimed. "Also, how are we breathing underwater?"
"It's thanks to the Penguin Suits." Luigi answered
"Wait, you mean this suit is enchanted to breathe underwater?" Claude asked in shocked.
"It also lets you use Cryokonisis. We were shocked at it as well." Levi nervous laughed.
"I-I can't believe we're in the Ocean... Wait.. are we even in one?!" Edelgard gulped.
"Whoa, what's wrong Edelgard? Don't tell me you're afraid of the ocean. Or is it you can't swim? Or both?" Claude asked.
"If it is... then... oh no. In our defense, we don't know where the Warp Pipe leads." Mario gulped as he see Hubert giving he death glare.
"I-It's time. I'm not proud or happy about it but it's fine. I do not blame you at fault." Edelgard said. " I just prefer to avoid the water. Let's just get out of here..."
"Right." Dimitri said as he look concern for Edelgard.
"Still, it's best that you hang onto me Lady Edelgard. Close your eyes as well." Hubert said as he swam towards her and then offer his arms towards her.
"I'll be fine... but thank you Hubert..." Edelgard sighed as she place her arm on Hubert's neck as he do all the swimming.
"Alright, let's just find our way out of here. The exit should be here somewhere." Byleth said as they swam around to find the exit.
The Hand users found out that their Firebrand and Thunderhand techniques work well underwater, as they had tried to use them on some Bloopers that got too curious over them, Goomdivers who tried to attack them, while the Elite Pestnut are look at them. Some of them tried to attack them. And they were defeated while others just mind their own business.
Eventually, after some puzzle solving with the Firebrand and the Thunderhand, they were able to get into another Warp Pipe and climbed out, with some help from Byleth's Sword of the Creator since they had to literally climb up the pipe. Once everyone was on top.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile in Stardust Field...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Koopa Crusier)
Meanwhile...
Somewhere in Stardust Field, there was Bowser who is unconscious. Slowly approaching him was injured Fawful. He's using a stick to support him.
"Ooogh..." Fawful groaned as he spotted unconscious Bowser. "Cackletta... will this one do...?"
"Any... Anyone will do now... hurry... Quickly..."
Fawful opened up his machine as Cackletta's Soul hovered over to Bowser's body and went inside him. Immediately, Bowser had gone over a transformation as he smirked wickedly.
"Eeyah ha ha ha ha!"
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost Welcome to the Beanbean Kingdom)
Edelgard sigh with relief as the Power-Ups disable. "Let's hope I don't find this memorable... although there were some beauty to it."
"Nothing like some relaxing swimming, no?" Claude asked.
"I just hope everyone is all right. I bet they're worried sick about us." Levi sadden.
"Right. Let's return to the castle and if they're there. We'll tell them about it." Rean nodded.
"Friends!" A voice called out as they saw Prince Peasley flying over to them. "Goodness, I'm so glad that you're alright. I was searching High and low for you! I feared that you all met a terrible fate!"
"Wait a second, weren't you with us when went to the basement?" Levi asked.
"I had gotten sidetracked with something." He chuckled.
"That reminds me... Prince Peasley... we have some unfortunate news. The Beanstar broken into four pieces." Rean sadden
Peasley sighed. "I'm aware. It is sad, really."
"Well we can help you find them." Levi said.
"Of course, I would appreciate the help, I would like you all head to Beanbean Airport. Your friends are waiting for you there."
"An airport?" Edelgard asked.
"What is this airport?" Dimitri asked
"I'll explain it to them. But why are our friends there?" Levi asked
"Why because the lovely Princess Peach is coming to the Beanbean Kingdom of course."
"PRINCESS PEACH/PEACH?!" Everyone yelled.
"Yup! It's a very serious affair. Not to mention an honor for her to visit our land. I heard she's also bringing a guest with her."
"A guest?" Edelgard asked
"Correct. And THAT'S why I want you all to be there."
"Of course!" Mario nodded. "…Where's the airport?"
"South of here!"
"Thank you!" Mario took off running.
"Bro! Wait up!" Luigi exclaimed as they took off.
At the airport…
"And that should do it." Ingrid as she and everyone defeated the Mom Piranha.
"Phew. Glad that's over. It's nice that everyone is working together like this." Sylvain cheered.
"But I'm deeply concerned for his Highness and the others." Dudue said.
"Yeah... I can't believe the Beanstar was able to carry them with ease. Especially Bowser." Sara sighed.
"I hope nothing happens to them..." Alisa sadden.
"Everyone!" Rean called out to them as he and the others arrived.
"Rean! Levi!" Alisa yelled as she and everyone else approached them.
"Edie! Hubby!" Dorothea sigh with relief.
"Your Highness!" Dudue smiled with relief.
"Oh, thank goodness you're all right Claude! Same with the rest of you! What happened?!" Hilda asked.
"All right, everyone." Lima came running towards them. "I'm sure you can discuss it later! Princess Peach is going to land!" She yelled as they nodded and got out of the way as Peach's jet landed on the airstrip.
(BGM ended)
Later... At Beanbean Castle...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Beanbean Castle)
"I didn't know you can use Wind Magic, Levi." Gaius said.
"So you can use more than just Light magic?" Jusis asked.
"Well..." Levi trailed off.
"Ahem! Everyone. Attention please!" Lima called out as she approached the group. "Princess Peach, representing of the Mushroom Kingdom, brings greetings!" She said as Peach and Toadsworth walked out from behind the bush. Peach opened her mouth to speak as everyone braced for impact.
"...What are you guys hiding for?" Peach asked with a tilt of the head as the other and some look shocked.
"Princess Peach?! Okay, either I'm imagining, or am I actually hearing Princess Peach's voice!" Machias exclaimed.
"Nope. It's the real deal." Peach smiled sweetly.
"Peach!" Mario hugged Peach as she hugged him back in return.
"Oh thank goodness... Wait a minute! What the heck is going on!?" Alisa exclaimed
"Your voice was stolen. How is it possible for your voice to return?" Laura asked.
"I believe I know why." Levi said. "Because her voice was never stolen to begin with. The "Peach" back at Peach's Castle was actually a decoy, isn't it?"
"WHAT!?" Everyone exclaimed
"Ahahaha! You really are a sharp one if you remembered what me and Mother said to you. You really have been paying attention." Peasley chuckled. "It is as he said. Her voice was never stolen! You see, we knew about this far in advance, so we banded together to create the perfect disguise, which is how the Beanstar reacted so differently. Peach and Toadsworth were hiding in a curtain!"
"Wow. That's clever." Fie smirked.
"Damn, you go girlfriend!" Sara cheered
"But then... Who's voice was stolen?" Emma asked.
"This one." Peasley said as another Peach walked out of the bush, and then she spun around to reveal it was none other than Birdo.
"Birdo!" Birdo said with a wink.
"A Birdo?" Millium said.
Birdo looked at one of the Beanbean Castle servants and winked at him.
"Meep... stay away from me!" He said and ran off.
"Birdo!"
"I SAID STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
Then they're gone. Then Queen Bean showed up.
"As you can see, every card in our hands truly were better than theirs. Oohohoho!" Queen Bean smirked.
"Everyone. I'm so sorry for the trouble I caused you. When you all came to the castle, I was going to tell you the truth, but Bowser ended up beat you to it." Peach sighed.
"Of course, that guy always came at a bad time and ruin everything." Sara palmface.
"So this whole time we have been on a wild goose chase." Crow said.
"Not actually. We did defeat Cackletta. However, we still should be concern about it." Sara said. "She's still out there with that minion of hers."
"True... wait. What about this other guest?" Rean asked
"Oh yeah, who's this other guest?" Byleth asked.
"Why yours truly, of course." A familiar voice answered as Olivert and Muller appeared.
"P-Prince Olivert?!" Machias exclaimed.
"Introducing Prince Olivert, representing the Erebonia Empire, bring greetings!" Lima said.
"And Muller as well." Laura said.
"A greeting to you all on this fine day. It's wonderful to see you again Class VII. But this new acquaintance of yours. I don't believe we meet. Well, except for Professor Byleth." Olivert wink.
"You know Erebonia's Prince Professor?" Edelgard asked.
"Yes, I introduce him to Sothis awhile back." Byleth answered
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Olivert Reise Arnor. Prince of Erebonia. And in the papers, I been called the Debaucherous Prince. A pleasure to make your acquaintance. I heard that Princess Peach's was stolen and I rush my way over here. By the time I arrived. She explain to me about what happen. It's a pity that Bowser had to ruin the surprise. But you all done the Beanbean Kingdom a favor by defeating Cackletta. However, she's still out here somewhere. Probably plotting her next scheme. But there's also another reason why I'm here."
"And that would be?" Machias asked
"Just like with the Mushroom Kingdom, Prince Olivert also wishes to establish a friendly relationship with the Beanbean Kingdom." Peasley said. "I'm actually quite curious about the Orbal Technology and the other nations."
"So now that we have gotten that out of the way... what have we missed?" Peach asked.
Sometime later, after a discussion with Queen Bean...
Peach had walked over to the others who were chatting amongst themselves. "I have heard there is a town nearby called Little Fungitown." Peach said. "I want to visit it."
"Little Fungitown? That's another interesting name." Linhardt said. "Why would you want to go there?"
"It is a town full of Toads who have immigrated to this land." Toadsworth explained.
"Ah, I see. And you also with to make an official royal visit?" Dimitri asked
"That's correct. And according to Queen Bean, to reach Little Fungitown. I need to go through Teehee Valley which is north of here."
"Teehee Valley? Another interesting name for a valley." Mercedes smiled.
"Yes, but Teehee Valley is filled with vile monsters. It would be a little... No! VERY dangerous for Princess Peach to travel there alone." Queen Bean said.
"And as the royal representative the senior Toads, I must vigorously oppose to this!" Toadsworth stated.
"Toadsworth, I can handle myself just time. I know how to fight. I'm in Smash Bros after all." Peach said.
"Even so! Passing through unknown land filled with monsters is absolutely absurd! Why, the very idea..."
"All right we get it." Crow sighed.
"Well in that case, then why don't we accompany Peach to Little Fungitown?" Sara suggested. "We'll escort you, and you won't have to worry about a thing."
"A splendid idea. One that can calm dear Toadsworth's heart." Olivert smile. "Though I had a feeling Luigi does not want to go." He said as Luigi quietly step out before he got caught.
"Bro!" Mario stomp his feet.
"But I don't waannaaaa!" Luigi frown as everyone sweatdrop.
"In any event. We'll accompany Princess Peach. What will you be doing, Your Highness?" Rean asked.
"I'll stay here to discuss with Her Majesty about building our friendly relationship. We have much to discuss. And if possible. I would like to see Little Fungitown. So do be careful." Olivert answered with a smile.
"Right. And with that, please allow me to excuse myself, Queen Bean." Peach smiled and gracefully bow to Queen Bean. "Let's go everyone!" She said as everyone led the way to Teehee Valley while Mario dragged Luigi.
"Oohohoho! Princess Peach is not only beautiful, but both wise and courageous, as well." Queen Bean chuckled.
"Indeed. Princess Peach truly earns her noble soul." Olivert smiled. "I bet Alfin like to see her as her role model."
(BGM ended)
Outside of Beanbean Castle...
"Hmm, do you think we oughta upgrade our hammers?" Luigi asked.
"We could, but I don't know where we would find a place to upgrade our hammers." Mario said with a shrug.
"We just have to look!" Luigi said.
"Right." Mario nodded.
"Oh, that reminds me! Felix." Rean turn to him.
"Yes?" Felix asked.
"I actually forgot to give this to you." Rean pulled out a Tachi made by Sludge and Mallet.
"Isn't that the sword you use, Rean?" Dimitri asked.
"Yeah, but this one is a new forge Tachi. I was suppose to give this to Felix, but I got distracted by the whole Cackletta business."
"I see. Let me see." Felix said as he take the Tachi and then pulled out the Tachi out of the scabbard. The handle blue with with a hint of gold. The Blade shines in white as it gleam to show. "Now this is a fine blade."
"My word... the eastern sword truly is remarkable." Dimitri complimented.
"I can't wait to test it. You have my thanks Rean. I'll be sure to repay you."
"No need for that. I'm just glad you like it." Rean smiled.
"Hmm... Perhaps we should upgrade our weapons as well." Edelgard suggested.
"But where is the blacksmith around here?" Alisa asked.
"We can help with that." Said a voice and then approached the group was Sledge and Mallet.
"Oh, Mr Sludge and Mr. Mallet!" Rean smiled.
"How ya been? Oh, I see you found your friends." Mallet praised.
"We're doing just fine. And everything went great. You said something about upgrading our weapons?" Levi asked.
"That's right. We move into a new place. It's bigger then the last. Give up more elbow room."
"Everyone in Hoohoo Village has already bought our hammers. And that means there's nobody left to make 'em for! Cryin' shame. That's why we moved to the big city. Gotta expend our horizons." Sledge nodded
"In that case, you don't mind upgrading our weapons?" Claude asked.
"Of course. Please follow us." Sludge said as he and Mallet begin to guide everyone as they left Beanbean Town.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Welcome to the Beanbean Kingdom)
As they exit, they headed to the east and soon went into a cave that was at the end of the trail. As they walked through, The Hammerheads Bro guide them to their workshop.
"And here we are." Mallet announced
"Well this is an appreciate place for a workshop, I suppose." Hilda said.
"All right, let's begin the upgrade, shall we?" Mallet said as the Bros gave them their hammers as they proceeded to pound away until their hammers were upgraded. "Ta-dah! Super Hammers! Now you can crush even the densest of rocks with these things."
"And now for our weapons too." Ignatz said as he and everyone else, minus the mages pulled out their iron weapons and gave them to the Hammerheads Bros. Then they proceeded to pound away until the Iron became Steel.
"And there we are. Iron became steel weapons!" Sledge said as everyone got their respectful weapons.
"Oh this great! They're not too heavy like the one in Fodlan!" Raphael cheered.
"And they look more resilient too." Ingrid added
"If you feel like you can upgrade them even further, let us know!" Sledge said as the Bros took the Super Hammers as they nodded and then walked off with the others. As they walked out of the cave and then headed north to Teehee Valley.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Teehee Valley)
"So this is Teehee Valley? it looks more like a desert then a valley." Millium said
"But it doesn't feel too hot. So that's all right in my book." Crow said.
"Honestly, I don't like the heat. But since this place is cool. I can managed." Sylvain said.
"Right, shall we? But be careful. There are monsters out here." Hanneman said as they nodded and walked through the desert, until they were surrounded by Hinomikoto and Gritty Goombas.
"Great, well done Hanneman." Manuela pouted as they got out their weapons.
"I am not the one who called them!"
"Enough you too! Let's kick these guys asses!" Sara said as some begin to charge at the Hinomikoto and Gritty Goombasa. Once they dealt with them.
They begin to move on on the journey. Soon more monsters begin to appeared and soon they quickly took care of them. They walk to the next area and found the gate. Marianne found the switch and then gate open and they proceed to the next area. The same thing happen with the monsters and they were routed quickly. Raphael found the next switch and he press it since he's taller then everyone. He press the button an open the gate to the next area. As they go. Fie see a block above the pillars. She hop towards the rocks, then hop to the next until she reach the switch and pressed it. Then they move on until they see a sign said
"Little Fungitown. The Mushroom Kingdom Immigrant Community. And it's just up ahead." Dorothea reads the sign.
"Wonderful! Okay everyone, shall we?" Peach smiled as she walk ahead. Until Levi sense a presence up ahead.
"Wait!" Levi rush ahead."I sense a strong presence up."
"He's right. I'll take a look." Sara said as he walk towards the path. As soon as she did. She sense something coming from the ground and she hop out of the way and then appeared the rock monster called Truckle. "Take this you rock monster!" Sara yelled as she warp and swift slashes with purple electricity and Truckle roared in agony as he was slam into the wall.

(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - The Name is Fawful)
Soon everyone rushed in and then join up with Sara.
"Insturctor, you okay?" Machias asked.
"I'm perfectly fine. This wise guy think he can ambush me." Sara smirked
Truckle got back up and then he roared as he glared.
"Aah! What's a monster doing here?! Can we avoid him?!" Bernedetta exclaimed.
"No. It's best we defeat it so it won't cause trouble." Avery stated.
"Avery's right. Leave this to us. Take Princess Peach to Little Fungitown." Edelgard said as she and the Black Eagles going to deal with the monsters.
"Aww, but I want to fight too." Peach sighed.
"Okay, we'll leave the big guy to you. Have fun." Sara chuckled as she and the others walk through the path.
"H-Hey! You're not gonna leave them are you?" A Toad asked who was hiding.
"Oh trust us, they'll be fine." Sara answered and then they heard some clashes as they turn and see Edelgard and Avery clash with the Monster as Hubert cast Banshee which follow up by Caspar leap slam, Linhard't wind attack. Bernedetta Arrow, Petra's swift attacks. Dorothe Thunder attack and Byleth swift slashes and whip attack from the Sword of the Creator. Which gives Truckle hard time as he roared and attempted to suck them in. But only to get blasted by Hubert's Misama and it cough and then Caspar powerful swing attack with Edelgard. "See."
The Toads sweatdrop. "Well... they certainly know how to put up a fight. Okay, we believe you."
"Well, Welcome to Little Fungitown." The other Toad said as he see Peach, Mario bros and Class VII. "Oh! Princess Peach! Mario bros! Class VII! And I don't know who you guys are but we been waiting for you! We were told to expect you. Please! We insist you use the left in the back!"
"Got it. Thank you." Rean smiled.
"Sucks to be you!" Avery shout his critical as he dash and launch powerful swfit trust attacks on Truckle and flip slam Truckle and push him back and clash him to the wall. Truckle came out and roared again as he charge as he and the others dodge the attacks again. Then Bernedetta shoot the tree and it roared in pain.
"I wonder just what the town is like. Hehehe, I can't wait." Peach smiled as she, Mario and Luigi go up first.
(BGM ended)
Once Everyone arrived to Little Fungitown...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Little Fungitown)
"Woooooow! So this is little Fungitown!" Millium eye sparking as the sight of it.
Soon the Black Eagles join after their battle with Truckle.
"So this is little Fungitown Town. What a fine place." Edelgard smiled.
"Finish already? You dealt with monsters before haven't you?" Sara asked.
"We have. They're Demonic Beast." Dimitri answered.
"I-It's such an honor that you're here Your Highness! And the famous Mario Brothers and Class VII! We-We don't deserve such an in-in-in-Incredible honor!" A Toad said.
"We're pretty popular aren't we?" Millium asked.
"I don't blame them. After all, we're a bunch of celebrities now." Crow wink.
"Don't get it to your head Crow..." Rean sighed.
"Thank you for your hospitality." Peach bow gracefully and smiled sweetly.
"O-O-Of course! A-Allow us to show you around L-Little Fungittown!" A Toad said
"Okay everyone. Thank you all so much or all you've done. Please Enjoy yourself and enjoy the sights."
"We certainly will. Let's take five everyone." Edelgard smiled.
"Finally. Now I'll find a place to nap." Linhardt said as everyone begin to split up.
With Rean and Alisa.
"Wow. Look at the view from here." Alisa said. "I'm surprised they make themselves a home from here."
"I'll say. It's breathtaking as the mountain." Rean smiled.
"Sure is." Alisa then inhale the air. "Ahh... that fresh air."
With Linhardt and Fie
In the calm grass area. Linhardt was sleeping in the grass along with Fie.
With Machias and Hubert
"Now that I think about it. We have more enough beans to return to the Starbuck Cafe. We can try out the new Coffee." Machias said.
"Yes. But we have to return to Beanbean Castle for the time being. But that will have to wait." Hubert said.
"Agreed."
Avery and Dorothea
"Hmm..." Dorothea thought for moment.
"Are you thinking about something?" Avery asked
"Yep. All this adventure just gave me some new song ideas." Dorothea wink.
Avery chuckled. "Wouldn't that be a fun adventure? Did you write this town?"
"Sure did. I wonder what happens next."
Bernadetta...
"Ooh... Where's a place where you can hide?" Bernedetta gulped.
Elliot and Annette
"So your sister is a musician?" Annette asked.
"That's right. Same with my mother. My father is a Military man. Though too much if you ask me." Elliot sighed.
"I understand. I just wish my father could dot on me like that. Just a tiny while."
"What happen?"
"It's a long story."
Merdeces and Lysithea.
"Ooh! Look at all these cookies!" Lysithea's eye spark when she and Mercedes are at a Bakery.
"They look awfully yummy too! And they look adorable!" Mercedes giggled.
Laura and Felix
"So then Felix, you wish to test me in combat?" Laura asked.
"Yes. Now that we're taking a break. I figured this will be a good opportity." Felix nodded
"I agree. Let's leave the town and find a good opening."
"After you." Felix smirked as he and Laura begin to exit the town.
In the Arcade
"Haaah!" Caspar warcry as he use the hammer for the Strongman game in the arcade with Raphael and Ferdinand. It hit the bell. "Hell yeah! I'm tough as nails!"
"Oh let me give it a go!" Raphael said as he begin to pick up the hammer and then he hit as hard as he can and the Strong man game and also hit the bell. "Oh yeah! It's expected."
"Don't you think you two should focus on keeping it town?" Ferdinand sighed.
While everyone else is playing the game. And Sara and Manuela are looking for a bar or tavern. Mario just finish playing the game.
"Wahoo! New high score!" Mario said, after playing Star 'Stache Smash and walked over to the front desk.
"Congratulations on winning the new High score!" The Toad cashier said. "What would you like?"
"Hmm… what's that over there?" Mario asked, pointing in the corner.
"Oh, good eye!" The Toad walked over and pulled it off. "This right here is called the Invincibility Shroom!" He said, completely unaware that it's actually a Poison Mushroom.
Mario raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure? That looks like a Poison Mushroom. It's even got the evil eyes."
"While I can't deny it does look like a Poison Mushroom, you have to remember that you're in a different kingdom. The Mushrooms over there are different from over here. So it's a deceitful little mushroom. Someone probably dunked this in food dye and gave this Mushroom eyebrows to make it look like a Poison Shroom." He explained. "So, this could very well be a harmless Mushroom."
"Hmm, you do make a good point." Mario nodded as he took it and he ate the Poison Mushroom and then washed it down. "Mmm… Well it taste differ… MMMPH!"
"Hmm? What's wrong?" The Toad asked as Mario went down for the count, his color turning green. "Oh crud…"
"MARIO!" Luigi yelled, quickly running over after he was gonna play another arcade game. Unfortunately, everyone was into the games that they didn't notice Mario was down and out. Luigi, pick up Mario and then he dash out of here. On his way, Marianne, Bernedetta and Levi spotted Levi running away.
"Huh? Did something happen? Should I really? Oh... but I am curious..." Bernedetta said to herself and then he follow luigi.
"Was that... Luigi? What happen? Is someone sick?" Marianne wondered as she follow.
"Wait... what was Luigi? And he's carrying? Mario? What the heck happen to his face?" Levi asked and then followed him.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - File Select)
Luigi took Mario to the hospital, which was in the embassy. The doctor examing Mario as Peach, Luigi, Benedetta, Marianne, and Levi are there.
"How is he doctor? What's wrong with him?" Peach asked, sounding concern.
The doctor hummed. "Green hue... Yes... Discoloration in the face... The symptoms seem to indicate... Bean Fever! No mistaken it!"
"Bean Fever? What the heck is that?" Levi asked.
"It's an illness that affects many travelers who aren't used to the food in this region."
"Oh my. That might be a problem for Raphael is he eats the food here..." Marianne gulped.
"Let's hope that doesn't happen. Not unless he's a food lover." The doctor said.
"Doctor, is there a way you can cure him?" Peach asked.
"There is, but I don't have the right remedy at the moment. I'm all out. If he does not get the cure... Mario will...Within three days… … WILL INTO A BEAN!"
"A BEAN?!" Luigi paled at the thought. "Oh no no no no!"
"Is there a way we can get the remedy in time?" Levi asked.
"Yes. There is a herb known as Crabbie Grass. If you can get me those. Then I can make the medicine immediately."
"Then that's what we'll do!" Luigi said.
"Crabbie Grass? Ooh, that sounds interesting. Bernedetta said. "So where is it?"
"You'll find Crabbie Grass in Guffawha Ruins. It's in the west of this town. But I should warn you. There is a monster in Guffawha Ruins that will eat anyone alive!" The doctor said, causing the color in Luigi to completely turn white.
Peach sweatdropped. "Oh dear."
"W-Wait... you mean like... bones crushing... flesh eating... and BLOOD SUCKING?! AAAAH!" Bernedetta panicked.
"I… uh… well… um… I don't think I'm able to go and do that… I just got a stomachache…" Luigi said as he tip tow.
"Luigi! I'm shocked! You would actually ABANDON your brother over a fake stomachache?!" Levi asked in shocked.
"Did you not hear the monster that eats anyone alive!?"
"Well it's a-" "Luigi, I'm shocked and so disappointed in you. I never imagine that you of all people would abandon your own brother like that!" Levi interrupted. "Mario would sacrifice his own life to save you if this was reversed. He always love and adores you and this is how you repay him? Just thinking about you abandoning him in his time of need... Oh, I can hear the people voice's now. "How could Luigi abandon his own brother in his illness?" "I thought Luigi was my hero... but turns out, he was a coward..." "I had so much respect for Luigi... but now it's all gone because he's too much of a wuss to save his own brother." "I bet Mario would save Luigi in a life and death situation. They're loving brothers... But I guess I was-""
"Okay, Okay! I'll go!" Luigi said.
"There's my hero!" Levi chuckled.
"Wow, using the guilt trick." Peach said, looking surprised.
"I honestly didn't think that would work. And this is my first time trying it." Levi whisper to Peach.
"Wait, aren't you coming?" Luigi asked.
"I would, but I can't. I have no reason for excuses but this is a test for you Luigi. But you won't be alone in it. Bernedetta and Marianne can join you."
"Wait, what?!" Bernedetta exclaimed.
"Huh? Me?!" Marianne exclaimed.
"Yeah. I believe you two can help Luigi. Besides, I will pretty much be an overkill. And you three can get the job done."
"No way! I don't want to die! I just want to be locked up in my room!" Bernedetta exclaimed.
"Bern. .ta." Levi smiled but a dark aura.
"AAH!"
"But think about the Crabie Grass? Aren't you interested in what it is?"
"Well, yeah but I can't risk my life on it!" Bernedetta stated.
"That's a shame... Yet you don't seem o be afraid of carnivore plants. So what if this so-called monster is actually just a plant defending another plant?" Levi smiled as he asked.
"What? Well... I... Ooh fine! I'll go..."
"Well... I guess I can do as well..." Marianne said.
"I knew you two can do it!" Levi cheered. 'Sheesh, Bernedetta is hard to convince. What caused her to be this shy anyway?'
"Thank you, Luigi Bernedetta, Marianne." Peach smiled.
"Good luck!" Levi waved as Luigi, Bernedetta and Marianne walk out of the hospital. "Hmm... maybe I should follow them in case..."
(BGM ended)
With Luigi, Bernedetta, and Marianne...
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Teehee Valley)
Luigi, Bernedetta and Marianne hopping on the elevator and walked across the valley after hopping off, they headed to Guffawha Ruins, making their way out of the valley by going through a small maze.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Hoohoo Mountain)
After managing to pass through the easy maze, they arrived at the lower part of the mountain, go down, walk to the left and then jump up the stone stair case and arrived at the entrance of the ruins.
"So... this is the ruins?" Bernedetta asked as she gulp.
"I believe so." Luigi said. "But how do we get in?"
Marianne look around and then spotted the broken tablet of sort.
"Maybe... try to break this?" Marianne suggested as she pointed. Luigi walked over and hammered it, and a small blue energy appeared. "Huh? What's this?"
"I don't know... Maybe... hit it?" Luigi shrug and then he hammer the sphere into the statue and one statue begin to activate. "Oh, I get it." Luigi said as he hit the next sphere and the next until he hit all the sphere and all the statues glowed. When it did, the statues fired a laser fired where the broken tablet was and then appeared a switch.
"Oh, look! A switch!" Bernedetta said as Luigi pressed it and then the door open. "Yay, it open!"
"High five!" Luigi said as Bernedetta and Marianne tile their heads.
"High... what?" Marianne asked.
"You guys don't know what a high five is?" Luigi asked.
"No?" Bernedetta title her head.
"Geez you guys don't know a lot... Basically, a high five is a gesture of celebration. Or it can also be greeted towards two people by slap each other's open palm with their arms raised high."
"Oh, don't that hurt?"
"As long as you don't do too use too much of your strength. Like this." Luigi then depemsterate the High Five by clapping his hands together.
"Oh, that sounds fun. Okay." Bernedetta smiled and then high five Luigi and then Marianne and Luigi and Marianne. "Oh it is fun!"
"Yes it was. I know Hilda would like to do those. We should head inside now." Marianne nodded
"Right." Luigi nodded and the trio went inside.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga plus Bowser's Minions ost - Underground)
The trio walked inside the ruins, hopping off ledges while bearing wary of Elite Chuck Guys and Limbo Bros wandering around the ruins. They soon came across the puzzle room with the different lifts.
"We reach a dead end, didn't we?" Bernedetta asked as she gulp.
"I don't think so. Look." Luigi pointed at the block !. He hit the block and activated the platforms below. "Oh, it's a jumping test."
"I'm not much of a jumper but... here does." Marianne said as she hope first, next is Luigi.
"Ooh..." Bernedetta frowned and then she hop. "Huh... this makes me feel like a kid again." She said and then they got across.
Then they continue the path avoiding more of the Elite Chuck Guys wandering around the ruins. Eventually, they go down deeper and going down and doing more puzzles. Soon They enter a room, walk up the stairs saw a rock faced statue hanging against the wall.
"Oh? Visitors? It's been a while."
Luigi gulped a bit. "A-are you the monster we heard about?"
"Monster? Pfft, I'm not a monster at all. I'm really just a nice guy! It makes me furious that I've been called a monster. Rumors do that to people, ya know."
"So the rumors about you are false... Oh sorry about that Mr. statue. I guess we got worried over nothing." Bernedetta said.
"And I guess that we shouldn't believe in such rumors too." Marianne added
"Indeed, you shouldn't unless you confirmed it. So what are you doing here in a place like this?"
"We're looking for some Crabbie Grass." Luigi said, relaxing a little bit. "Do you know where we can find some?"
"Oh yes, it's in the next room… but uh, could you do me a favor real quick?"
"Oh, sure, what is it?" Bernadette asked.
"Since the rumors make me so angry, I need to let it all go. So can you help me release this stress by dodging the same for 30 seconds?"
"Yeah, we can do that." Luigi nodded
"Thank you! Okay, here goes."
One stress release later...
"Thank you so much. Okay, you can go now." The statue said
"No problem." Luigi said as they walked off to the next room and found some Crabbie Grass.
"Ooh so those are Crabbie Grass! Nice!" Bernedetta smiled
"Yes. It wasn't that hard at all." Marianne smiled.
"Yeah. It's fun." Bernedetta smiled
"I knew you guys can do it." Levi said as he just enter the room.
"Wah! Where did you come from?!"
"Have you been falling us?" Marianne asked
"Well I am concern for you guys. I'm glad things work out in the end." Levi smiled. "Still, that rumor was false. It's best we do something about it. Anyway, let's head back."
"Right!" Luigi nodded and put up the Crabbie Grass and put it in his pocket. "Let's-a go!" He said as they took off and return to Little Fungitown by taking the Warp Pipe there.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Little Fungitown)
"Huh, what do you know." Levi said he and the trio hop down. "Okay, let's head back to the Emissary."
"Right!" The trio nodded and and their way to the Emissary.
(BGM ended)
By the time they make it there. Levi suddenly stop.
"Levi?" Marianne asked.
"What's wrong?" Luigi asked
"Something's not right." Levi said as he look up and gasped. "Look out!"
(Mario and Luigi Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions ost - Danger!)
Purple lighting suddenly strike nearby them as they hide behind Levi. Then suddenly, they saw a Koopa Clown Car approaching the trio and someone else.
"Luigi! Levi!" Peach shout as she's all tied up.
"PEACH!?" Levi and Luigi exclaimed as suddenly something pulled Peach's down. Then saw Bowser's figure pop out.
"Bowser!" Luigi growled
"Wait... That's not Bowser!" Levi said as he got his Galive out.
"Eeeyah ha ha ha ha! You're correct!" Cackletta's voice said as the shadows disappeared to reveal Bowser… or in this case, Bowletta.
"CACKLETTA?!" The four exclaimed as they shout.
"What the hell are you done to Bowser!?" Levi growled as he pointed his Glaive.
"I decided to steal this bonehead's body! EEYAH HA HA HA HA!" Bowletta laughed. "Call me… Bowletta!"
"Cackletta's power has poured into this Koopa who is King!" Fawful smirked. "The body is of the Bowser, but with the mind of the Great Cackletta!"
"And if I can't steal Peach's voice, I'll just have to settle for the real deal! EEYAH HA HA HA HA!"
"Shall we take off?" Fawful asked.
"Yes, lets!" Bowletta cackled
"LIKE HELL YOU ARE!" Levi yelled t as he use Piercing Toss but the duo took off before it can hit him. "Damn it! If it weren't for Peasley... they would have been dead... Come one, we need to wake up Mario!"
"Right!" Luigi nodded as they took off to the embassy and ran inside, force feeding the Crabbie Grass to Mario.
"Mmm… HAH!" Mario jumped up. "Whew, that was a bad case of food poisoning…" He said and looked at the four. "So, what did I miss?"
"You're not going to like this..." Levi clenched his fist as he is enraged. Then heard footsteps and their allies appeared.
"What happened, we heard you guys shout!" Rean asked.
And that's a wrap for this chapter! Next up is getting the Beanstars and rescuing Peach again! Damn it. I feel like I have also forgotten something I was supposed to do.
