(Oogie's Revenge ost - Oogie's Corridor)
Inside the UFO, everyone came out one by one. "Wow, that was awesome!" Natsu exclaimed.
"No kidding! Paimon kinda want to do that again!" Paimon said.
"Hey, where's Luigi?" Mario wondered.
"WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOA!" Luigi yelled, as he flew high into the air.
"Found him." Millium said.
"MAMA MIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Baby Luigi yelled, as he also came out of it as well.
"Someone should catch them!" Alisa exclaimed
Lucy said, pulling out a key. "OPEN! GATE OF THE RAM! ARIES!" She yelled.
Aries appeared and looked at Lucy.
"HELLO GORGEOUS!" Crow yelled.
"You're dating Morgan, remember!" Rean exclaimed.
"Need something?" Aries asked.
"Well, a soft pillow." Lucy said, pointing up in the air.
"Hmm? Oh my!" Aries said as Luigi and Baby Luigi began to fall. "I got this!" She said as she made a pink puffy cloud for the two to land.
"AAAAAAAAAH!" Luigi yelled...and then he landed...two inches away from the pink puffy cloud.
"Ooooooh" Everyone wincing at Luigi's pain while Bowser, Kamek and Roman wheezing laughed.
Baby Luigi however landed on the puffy cloud. "Thank you very much!" He smiled.
Aries smiled and then looked at Luigi at concern. "Are you alright?"
"Yes...the floor cushioned the blow..." Luigi muttered.
"Sucks to be you." Roman chuckled… and then Ironwood aimed his gun at Bowser.
"For what you did to me back at the castle… it's inexcusable!" He said and then spotted Roman. "And You!"
"Sup?" Roman greeted.
"Rrrgh… I'm not sure how you escaped prison, but this time I'm going to-"
"Do what? Make sure I've stayed locked up? You do realize my partner here is ten tons of muscle and can easily bust me out."
"Not unless I take him out."
"Bahahaha! You amuse me, grandpa. What are you gonna do, shoot me until you run out of bullets?" Bowser smirked.
"That's quite enough out of you three!" Claire got between the two. "General, I understand your anger, but please put that gun down, you can shoot him at a later date to your heart's content, but right now, we're all in this mysterious craft together with to find our imposter, and we'll get nowhere if we kill each other right now!"
"She's right. It won't get us anywhere." Sara said.
"Very well then." Ironwood put his gun down. "But I've got my eye on you." He said, glaring at Roman.
"Oh no, you have your eye on me, whatever shall I do?" Roman sarcastically said, causing Ironwood to scowl at him.
"So… can someone explain to me why the devil I'm seeing babies and younger versions of everyone?" Bowser demanded.
"Well, you see…" Mario said and began explaining everything.
"So it's the old man's fault that some of us are meeting our younger selves. Typical." Bowser rolled his eyes. "But what I'm also hearing is that these Shroobs kidnapped Peach?"
"That's right." Luigi nodded.
"That's it… I already hate them." Bowser said. "…Excuse me a moment." He pulled out a piece of paper and a pen.
"Things I Hate" List
1. Mario Bros and Class VII
2. Twilight Ganondorf
3. Being Possessed
4. Anyone who bullies Junior
5. Anyone who threatens my Kingdom
Bowser would write down number 6 on the list.
6. The Shroobs
"Aww, we're on the top of your list? You do like us!" Sara teased.
"Don't make me clobber you, Pinky." Bowser threatened, putting the paper away. "Alright… let's go!" Bowser said.
"Hold it! There is something that needs to be done first." Winter said.
"And that would be?" Bowser turned to Winter.
"This." Winter stabbed Bowser in the foot with her rapier.
"YAAAAAGH!" He yelled, grabbing on to his foot and hopped in agony, as Sienna and Ironwood looked at each other before Sienna swung her whip at Bowser's head and then Ironwood slugged him in the face with his right arm, knocking the Koopa King down.
"Ah, I feel so much better after that." Sienna said.
"Agreed." Ironwood said as while everyone sweatdrops and while Kamek healed Bowser up.
"You alright?" Kamek asked
"No, I got stabbed in the foot and got slugged in the noggin by a whip and a hard punch!" Bowser muttered
"Oh, just walk it off, Bowser. You've been through worse." Sara said.
"Easy for you to say, you've never been stabbed in the foot!"
"Paimon can imagine the pain..." Paimon gulp. "Remind Paimon never to get on their bad side."
"Why are you complaining, you're flying." Ragna pointed out.
"Even Paimon can feel the pain!"
"Remind me again why you're even here."
"Actually, what are you exactly?" Natsu asked. "Are you a fairy?"
"Can we all focus on the bigger picture here?" Erza sighed. "We're in this ship to follow our imposter, and she or whoever that was is somewhere around here. Let's be off. And also," Erza turn to Levi. "You have a hunch you knew who it was, care to tell us who?"
"Well, it's still a hunch, I want to confirm it for myself." Levi said.
"Fair enough. Let's be off."
"Just one question… does she have to come along?" Bowser said, referring to Daisy. "We could leave her in here!"
"Don't make me kick your butt again." Daisy glared. "I would've said something else but there are kids present here, so count yourself lucky."
"Wonderful… anyway, let's go!"
"We certainly walk right into a feud." Kazuha sweatdrop as they all walk out of the area they're in.
"Hey does anyone else hear that creepy music with that laugh?" Millium gulped as they walk around.
"Music? Creepy laughed?" Claire asked.
"Again, what is with this farce?" Jusis sighed.
'I hear it too... it's disturbing...' Elliot thought as they proceeded to run through the corridor and take out any Shroob in their path. As soon as they walked through the door, they saw "Peach" standing in the middle of the room.
(BGM ended)
"Peach!" Mario exclaimed
"Wait!" Claire said as she pointed her gun and shoot it and see the orbal energy bullet passing right through her. "I thought something was off. That wasn't the Princess. I detect no signs of life coming from what we saw... what is that?"
"It's a Hollogram." Millium answered
"Hollo-what?"
"Never mind that." Erza said. "I think we're about to have company." She said, taking out her sword.
The doors in front of them opened up, and Shroobs came walking out and surrounding them.
Fire came out of Natsu's hands. "Well, they think they can just surround US, do they?" He smirked as everyone got in a battle position. "Well they messed with the wrong people."
"You said it pink boy!" Bowser smirked, cracking his knuckles.
"Don't even try." A voice said, as they turned to see Peach walking up to them...with the mushroom still on her face.
"So you finally reveal yourself." Levi glared. "It's just as I expected from the beginning. I'm not sure how you manage to mimic Peach's voice back at the cave, but it's clear you use a device to either record her voice, switch places, or she was never there to begin with. You purposely put on that disguise so we can take you to our timeline and witness the future yourself. Isn't that right... Princess Shroob?!"
"WHAT?!" Everyone shocked in respond.
"So, you figure it out." "Peach" said, taking off the mushroom and taking off her costume, revealing to be Princess Shroob.
(Mario and Luigi's Partners in Time ost - Shroob Attack)
"I am impressed you knew all along. Out of all the humans I've met so far, you were the most dangerous one. It's shame that you're too late, however." Princess Shroob smirked.
Levi eye rolled. "Spare me the empty compliment, you disgusting pile of filth."
"You piece of shit! Where's the real Princess Peach?!" Ragna glared.
"If you must know, the real one is not here." Princess Shroob told him. "She's being taken care of at her castle...or should I say...my castle?" She smirked.
"If you lay one finger on her...I swear to god..." Mario glaired
Princess Shroob laughed. "You'll do what? Kill me? It's heavily guarded and if you step one foot in that place, you'll be dead before you know it."
"Listen here, hag." Gray said, icy swords appeared on his elbows. "We're not as weak as you think we are. We faced tough opponents." He said.
"Is that a fact? Princess Shroob amuse. "Regardless, though I'm afraid you're all too late regardless. Your time hasn't escaped the incoming fire."
"What exactly do you mean by that?" Sharon asked.
"You mentioned something at the Koopaseum, however, you haven't given the full answer." Winter added
"What do I mean by that?" Princess Shroob smirked. "As we speak, my kind are going inside that Time Hole in front of my castle and are currently invading your home!"
"WHAT?! NO!" Rean yelled.
"You bitch! DAMN IT! I knew someone should be watching the time portals!" Ragna glared
"While I'm not there to see the carnage for myself thanks to Musclehead over there… I do know that we are succeeding and there's nothing you can do about it." Princess Shoob darkly chuckled. "By the way, Levi, was it? I still offer you my thanks."
"For what exactly?" Levi asked.
"For giving me some new ideas. After we're done with the Toads, we're going to do a nice similar experiment with the humans and any other races." She answered and everyone's eyes widen of her respond.
"You wouldn't!" Rean exclaimed
"I would." Princess Shroob smirked. "Turning whatever life essence you humans have into our fuel, even food for us to eat, you'll be perfect livestock once we conjured your pathetic world. I bet right now, your family is among the crossfire as we speak."
"Y-You monster!" Alisa yelled as everyone's angry expressions.
"No... no no no!" Rean clenched his teeth as vision of Elise and his family being attack or attacked by the Shroobs. Suddenly, he begin to surround himself with a dark aura as and everyone look at him. "Graaaaaaaaaaaah!" His hair change to ashen gray and he touch his chest, and his eyes are crimson red.
"Whoa what the heck!?" Natsu exclaimed.
"What the-?!" Ragna exclaimed
"Rean!" Levi exclaimed.
"Oh?" Princess Shroob amused.
"If you harm my family-" He draw his Tachi and imbue it with his Ogre power. "-Then I will kill you!"
"Interesting..." Princess Shroob hand begin to channel her power and the Shroobs pointed their gun at him until she received a communication and she answer it. "What? I'm very busy right now?" She said until she look surprised. "WHAT?! WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE INVASION WAS DECIMATED?!" And that shocked everyone. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW!?"
"W-We don't know! We were going to attack when suddenly- AAAAHH-" *Static*" The Shroob communicator went off.
"UUGH!" Princess Shroob throw the communicator and destroy it.
"Guuuuh..." Rean calm down his Power as he feel on his knee.
"Rean! Are you okay?!" Levi then check on him with a concern look on his face.
"Y-Yeah... Thank Aidios... Everyone is all right..."
"UUUGH!" Princess Shroob glared at them next but mostly at Levi. "Perhaps I was careless... you must have set up a trap, knew that I would invade! Destroy them!" She ordered… but then the Shroob turned around and faced the princess, pulling out a camera and flashing her. "Ack!" She grunted as she was then blasted by a paralyzing laser. "AAAAAGH!"
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Serious Trouble)
The Shroob then shoot the remaining Shroobs and send them all flying, before turning to the heroes.
"Quick, this way! While she's numb! Hurry!" The Shroob exclaimed
"Say wha-" "Ragna, never mind! Come on!" Paimon exclaimed as she and the others took off running, then they all went into the elevator after leaving behind a brutalized Shroob army.
(BGM ended)
"Honestly, that was a close call..." Mona sighed.
"I'll say... although her invasion of our time was decimated." Claire said.
James rub his chin. "Whoever did that deserves our thanks..."
"Huh? But I thought you did something like that." Machias said.
"No. I needed permission. I don't own the castle."
"That's... true."
"So who is this little weasel?" Roman asked. "It looks like we got a double agent."
"Actually... I'm..." The Shroob spun around and took off the disguise, revealing Kylie Koopa. "Your number one Koopa reporter!"
"Kylie?! Oh, you sly girl! How did you manage to get a Shroob outfit?" Sara asked
"Oh, it wasn't easy, but I managed to make a costume by coping with their head shape and their appearances and hand. It took a while for me to completely mimic their moves. But, I'm glad you are all okay." Kylie said. "I have to say, I wasn't expecting that this one here would have some freaky power going, let alone this invasion thing that was destroyed."
"I'll say, but aside from him, and if I know our timeline, everyone who lives there is a stubborn bunch, so it's not like we'll hand over our land so easily." Bowser said.
"So what was that Rean?" Mario asked.
"It's... something that I feared back when I was a kid... I been keeping this unknown power within me with all the strength. Because I end up losing control over it." Rean explained.
"So that's why..."
"I getcha." Ragna said. "I'm the same when I got this power of mine."
"You were?" Rean asked in susprirsed.
"You see my eyes is red here? This wasn't red. It used to be green. But it all change when I got this power from the Blast Beast back in my own world. Although it's gone forever, it's powers it too. Yet, I can still use this power, yet I don't sense any traces of that substance it was on. Perhaps it's like my own power now. So I get that you're scared and afraid of going berserk. I been where you been countless times."
"Ragna..."
'Rean... So that was that power I sense from you earlier...' Levi thought.
"So… what should we do now?" Kazuha asked.
Kylie said and then pulled out the key. "Remember this?"
"Oh, that Key you took?" Aether asked
"That's a big key…" Neo said with the sign she pulled out.
"Didn't you say that key holds the secret to the Shroobs?" Emma asked
"Yep! This Mothership holds the key to the Shroob secrets." Kylie grinned as the elevator 'dinged'. "Ah, here we are!" She said as they walked over to a massive machine… thing with a shape of the keyhole. "Perfect!"
"This seems a bit too easy…" Claire said.
"I doubt it." Bowser said,
"The last time someone said that, something horrible happens." Jusis sighed as Kylie put the key into the hole, where it started glowing.
"Yes! Yeeeeees! Let's see what it contains! Oooh, I can hardly wait!" Kylie's eye sparking until suddenly a trap door opened up.
"…Does anyone feel lighter?" Fie asked.
"Ah, crap... How did I forget about the floor." Sara said.
"It would appear that we let our guard down." Sharon added
"Also... how are we still stand-." Machias said as they all started falling. "-IIIIIIIIIIIING!"
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Serious Trouble)
"AAAAAAH!"
"NO NO NO NO NOOOO!" Kylie grabbed a hold of the key while Happy grab Natsu, Carla grab Wendy, Fie use her wire to hold onto the ceiling, Sara did the same thing, Lucy did the same thing, Luigi tried to flap his arms to try to stay in the air.
"I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly, I believe I can fly!" He exclaimed… but then he started falling. "I CAN'T FLYYYYY!"
"Phew, thank goodness..." Wendy sigh with relief.
"Way to go Happy!" Natsu thumps up until as multiple Shroobs gathered around them. "Ah crap..." as the Shroobs aimed their ray guns at them.
"OH CRUD!" Lucy yelled as they pulled the triggers, but the ray guns clicked, seeming to malfunction. "Wha?" She wondered.
"Huh?" Kylie wondered as one Shroob looked at his ray gun and then threw it at Kylie. "OOOF!" She yelled, as she started falling.
The others throw their guns at Happy, Carla, Sara, Lucy and Fie.
"OOOF!" They called as they fell.
(BGM ended)
"Why did our Ray guns fail?" A Shroob wondered.
"No idea…" Another Shroob aimed the ray gun at himself. "I think we ran out of jui-" He pulled the trigger as a laser bullet hit him, making him fall on his back.
Meanwhile...on Yoshi's Island...
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Yoshi's Island)
"We got to repair this village, By boogie!" Toadbert exclaimed, and then clutched his head. "Ugh...why must that image keep popping in my head?" He then shook his head. "You know what? No. I'm going to FORGET about it." He said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Kylie yelled and then landed on top of Toadbert's head.
"OW!" Toadbert yelled.
"Well...that was some landing..." She said, scratching her head. "Am I back on Yoshi's Island?" She wondered.
"...I REMEMBER!" Toadbert yelled.
(BGM ended)
Back with the heroes...
"AAAAAAH!" Everyone screamed… well, minus a few people. Levi casted his magic and levitate everyone, while Neo used her umbrella to gently descend to the ground, Kazuha use his ability to control the wind and Aether with his ability to control the wind as well and gently floated down and landed.
"Ooogh… well, that went well…" Roman said
"Hold on..." Crow turn to Kamek. "Can't you fly? You have magic and a magic broom!"
"I was but someone beat me to it." Kamek turn to Levi.
"Hey guys?" Rean spoke up. "Where are we? It appears to be an abandoned village... But... the layout looks familiar…"
Mario hopped up on some mushrooms to get a better look. "Just as I thought… we're in Toad Town!"
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Toad Town)
"Toad Town?!" Machias exclaimed. "But… it looks nothing like the one we're used to."
"If you think about it, this is what Toad Town previously look like before it expended." Luigi explained
"That would explain why I'm not seeing Coconut Mall nearby…" Alisa said. "Or any of the cafes, buffets and any other shops."
"But look at the town..." Laura said as she see so many broken houses, purple Mushrooms attached to the houses, trees, even purple mushroom platforms. "It's worst from what we seen in Holli Holli Village..."
"You're right..." Emma sadden
"This takes me back." Bowser said before clenching his fists. "I know I destroy Toad Town… but not to THIS extent!" He said, punching a wall in frustration.
"What do you mean "destroy Toad Town"?" Ironwood glared at him suspiciously.
"Oh, ya know, launch Bullet Bills, blow up a few things, destroy a house or two… there's no fun in kidnapping if you don't destroy a few things! I could go all out and level it to the ground, but I won't do such a thing! Even I have humanity! I'm not THAT much of a monster!"
"It's true. Bowser may not look like he but he's a good guy... sometimes." Mario nodded
"I don't need you to defend me!" Bowser said.
"Also he like the food here." Luigi added.
"Not true! We have buffets in the Koopa Kingdom that are far better than yours!" Bowser said. "Neo Bowser City has tons of good stuff."
"Ooh really? In that case, how about we see for ourselves?" Millium suggest.
"And Neo Bowser City? I didn't know you have cities too. How about we check them out in Bowser's Kingdom?" Alisa said.
"If we have the time though... After all, we're supposed to leave the Mushroom Kingdom today." Sara said.
"Oh yeah... forgot about that..." Elliot sighed.
"Anyway… we oughta get moving if we want to get the rest of the Cobalt Star Shards." Crow said
"Is there one in this place?" Gaius wondered.
"Actually, no." Stuffwell said as he hopped out of Mario's pocket. "The Cobalt Stars have been acting peculiar lately." He said as he opened up and the Cobalt Stars floated up and started floating around erratically. "According to my analysis. The data indicated the Cobalt Star's activity is related to a place called Star Hill."
"That's peculiar..." Winter said as she walked forward. "Could it sense that the other Shards are nearby?"
"That could be a possibility." Sharon said.
"Meow, it's super pretty Meow!" Taokaka walked forward to it to take a closer look with Sienna. "Meow, super shiny!" She cooed before she narrowed her eyes with Sienna, swearing they could see something inside the shards. "MEOW!" Taokaka suddenly hissed and got her claws out, while Sienna had a deep throaty growl nearly escaped her mouth, but she did scowl at it as her ears lowered.
"Tao? What's wrong?" Ragna asked before turning to Sienna. "Also, what's up with you?"
"Meow?" Taokaka blicked.
"Huh?" Sienna snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Ragna. "Oh, forgive me, I thought I was seeing something... unusual. Don't worry about it." She said
"Meow... What was Tao doing, meow?" Taokaka title her head. "Tao thought Tao saw something that made Tao really mad, meow..."
'So they sense it too. Faunus no doubt have something we human's can't.' Levi thought before as the Cobalt Star Shards went back inside Stuffwell. ' That dark presence... within the Cobalt Star... someone is inside... controlling the Cobalt Stars from within... but for what?'
"Anyway, back to adventure!" Stuffwell said and then went inside Mario's pocket again.
"Pardon me for asking but what's Star Hill?" Erza asked.
"Star Hill..." Mario mused. "There's a name I haven't heard about in a long time."
"Isn't that the place where we could hear anyone's wishes?" Bowser said. "Something about where wishes come true?"
"Yeah! That's gotta be the place!" Mario nodded.
"Hold up, wishes?" Natsu asked.
"Star Hill is a mysterious hill that is connected to the stars and the heavens. It's literally a place where wishes come true."
"Whoa, really?!" Rean gasped with everyone else.
"Our wishes can come true on this hill?" Alisa gasped.
"And also a perfect place to go on a date. It's one of the best places too, it's known for its beautiful and romantic view." Luigi nodded
"Heh, That takes me back. The only thing missing is Peach, that puppet and cloud boy." Bowser said as everyone besides the Bros gave him strange looks. "I'll tell you on the way, let's go!"
"Right." Rean nodded as they walked through the destroyed Toad Town, where they saw some Skellokeys, Shroids and Love Bubbles in the area.
"You see, back in the day before we met you guys, Luigi and I went to Bowser's Castle. You know, standard stuff. We fought Bowser, rescued Peach... but that particular day was no other day." Mario explain. "Suddenly this massive sword came out of nowhere and plunged into Bowser's Castle, separating all of us. It was then we met this little cloud boy named Mallow who believed he was a frog. He came with us and then eventually, we ran into this goof right here."
"Who are you calling a goof, plumber?" Bowser glared.
"Anyway, we met this Star Warrior who took possession of a doll named Geno." Mario continued. "His real name is... well... we're not sure ourselves, there was no way we could translate that. We believe it's celestial language or something. So Geno back then was a member of our group and then we rescued Peach... but along the way, we heard of this group called the Smithy Gang. They were tricky opponents, but we were able to subdue them, including the huge sword that penetrated Bowser's Castle, Exor."
"And then there was Smithy himself and hoo boy, he was a challenge." Luigi said. "Luckily, we pulled through and seized victory."
"You boneheads are forgetting something." Bowser said. "The Star Pieces! We had to help Geno get the Star Pieces to help repair Star Road from the stupid Smithy gang!"
"Oh, I knew I forgot something to mention." Mario said.
"And who's Smithy?" Jusis asked.
"Picture a more pissed off Santa Claus with a massive hammer, who can somehow shapeshift his head." Bowser answered
"Who's Santa Claus?" Gaius asked.
Bowser facepalmed. "Do you people not have any holidays at Zemuria?"
"Well we do, but I don't believe they're the same as what you guys have." Rean answered.
Bowser eye rolled. "Okay we'll explain who is Santa Clauses is and our holidays. You'll love it."
"So what happens to your friend Mallow? Did he ever find out he wasn't a frog?" Laura asked as they walked through Toad Town, as they went inside buildings to make sure if there any survivors.
"Oh, he did. He's currently in Nimbus Land." Mario said.
"I'm curious about Geno and Mallow. I hope we can meet them someday." Rean smiled.
"Wait a moment." Levi said as he stopped and turn to the shop. "I think there's something in that shop."
"Inside?" Sara eyebrow. "Let's see what's up." She said as they went over to see a shop nearby, then they saw two old lady Toads in the shop.
"Oh? Visitors!" The first lady spoke as they walked into the destroyed shop.
"Survivors!" Paimon exclaimed
"Are you two all right?" Aether asked.
"Oh yes, we're fine." The second one smiled. "We're holding down the fort. We hid really well so they don't even know we're here."
"That's wonderful to hear that. Although it disheartens me to see two elderly such as you two are the only survivors. It must have been awful." Kazuha sadden
"Thank you for your concern. In time, life will begin anew for the Toads who remain hidden." The second one smiled.
"I see. That's a positive thinking." Mona smiled.
"And with that, let's buy something!" Millium cheered
"So, what would you like?" They asked as they looked around at the store at whatever they had left.
"Oooh, these look good." Machias said, pulling up some Mix Flowers. "Not sure what they are, but they look pretty deadly."
"They sure do. Not to mention they look really pretty." Emma said.
"Find what you like?" The Green female Toad asked.
"Yeah. How much?"
"Oh, considering the cash registers are destroyed, it's on the house!" She smiled.
"They will look cute with your girlfriend." The other spoke.
"Aww thanks, I never expected- WAIT, GIRLFRIEND?!" Machias exclaimed as he and Emma blushed at this.
"Okay, ready guys?" Sara called out.
"You guys coming?" Crow asked
"Oh, Coming!" Machias said as his face is red and Emma.
'Oh?' Crow smirked in thought.
They continued walking through the destroyed town while also destroying the enemies in the area. They kept walking until they came across a pipe.
"Huh, was this pipe always here in Toad Town?" Rean wondered.
"I think so…" Luigi said.
"Well, let's hop on in then!" Crow said as they hopped inside the Warp Pipe.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Star Hill)
Soon everyone arrive at Star Hill
"WOOOOW! It's Super Pretty! So Celestial-like!" Millium eyes sparkled.
"I did say it's perfect place for a date." Luigi said.
"It truly is a beautiful place." Claire smiled.
"Incredible!" Mona said as she activate her magic circle. "This place is radiant with celestial power I think! A perfect place for someone like myself for divination!"
"Hmm... I wonder if Elise, Mom and Dad would like to come here." Rean wondered.
"I think this is a good place for me and Annette to go on a date." Elliot said as he light blushed.
"Just like with you and Felix." Fie smirked at Laura.
"P-Pardon?" Laura light blushed.
"Come on, let's-a go!" Mario exclaimed, when suddenly the Cobalt Star Shards burst out of his pockets.
"Whoa!" Stuffwell exclaimed as he leapt out and grabbed a hold of the Star Shards and closed himself. "Warning! Warning! The Cobalt Star Shards are going crazy! There must be something close! Perhaps the Summit is where it is!"
"Then we better hurry and find that Cobalt Star." Rean said as they walk on the hill.
'Someone is desperate inside... Could it be...?' Levi wondered.
"Ooooh, what's this cute little glowing star?" Millium picked up a glowing star.
"I wish I wasn't afraid of the water."
"What the… who said that?"
"Those are Wishing Stars." Mario said. "You make a wish and you'll most likely find them here."
"Ooooh, cool!" Millium grinned.
"I wish I could find handcuffs big enough for Bowser."
Bowser heard this one and looked at Ironwood. "I heard that!"
"That was supposed to be private." Ironwood glared.
"You can't hold me down anyway!" Bowser smirked.
"Paimon wish she was surrounded by money and tasty food~"
"Paimon..." Aether deadpan look at her.
"Hey! That was private!" Paimon pouted.
"No, that sounds so like you." Mona sighed.
"I wish the world would be more of a peaceful place, where the air is sweet and calm."
"And that sounds like you." Aether turn to Kazuha.
Kazuha chuckled. "Was it that obvious?"
"I wish Rean wasn't so clueless...'
"Everyone agrees..." Levi nervously laughed as he know that was Elise's wish.
"I wish to build a world of peace. Where no one has to force to suffer by the hands of those in power."
'Definitely Prince Olivert's Wish.' Claire thought
"I wish Mother was a considerate person..."
"Oh, I believe I know who this is." Sharon giggled.
"Sharon!" Alisa pouted
Natsu pick up a glowing star. "I wish Natsu isn't an idiot."
Natsu had a tick on his forehead before turning to Gray. "You wanna go Ice Butt?"
"Glady Lizard breathe!" Gray said until Erza bunk both Natsu and Gray's head as they kept climbing until they reached the peak where they saw a Shroob in front of them.
(BGM ended)
"Hmm?" The Shroob turned around. "YIPE!" He pulled out his whistle and blew into it as tons of Shroobs came to his aid, but then a UFO came flying by and dropped a Shroob-omb on them.
You gotta be kidding me! A Shroobified Bob-omb?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"It's endless isn't it?" Happy asked.
"Alright, take those fleshies out!"
"Yes sir, Commander Shroob!"
"All right everyone! Let's kick these Shroobs asses and breath through their formation!" Sara yelled.
"Yes, Instructor!" The students declared.
"Ha! This will be fun!" Natsu smirked as his hands are imbued with fire until they all heard a sound of fuse starting. "Huh? What's that sound?"
"That sounds like a bomb fuse." Claire answered before she look at the Shroobied- Bob-omb. "Ah!"
"Hmm?" The Commander Shroob turn to the Shroobied-Bob-omb and it was already letting. "AAAH! WHO TURN ON THE FU-"
KA-BOOOOOOOM!
Levi cast his Light Barrier on everyone and then as the barrier was powerful that everyone take covered. It cause a large smoke that shake like a mushroom. Once everyone took to safety, Levi back jump somewhere to hide and then dispell the shield. Soon once the smoke is cleared. Everyone look out from their hiding place and then Sara, Claire and Erza examine the area.
"It's safe." Erza said and everyone begin to come out.
"Well that was terrifying!" Lucy gulped.
"I could have eaten the explosion!" Natsu said.
"Say what?" Machias exclaimed.
"That sounds hard to believe." Fie comment.
"Actually, he isn't lying." Lucy sweatdrop. "It's part of his magic as a Fire Dragon Slayer. He can literally eat any fire."
"You're serious... aren't you?" Levi blicked.
"Oh yeah, we should know because we seen him do it thousand of times and fighting opponents." Gray said. "Anyway, that's one way to take out an army."
"Seriously... what the heck was that all about?" Paimon asked.
"Did someone accidently set the fuse on? Or was that on purpose?" Mona wondered. "So any of you sense any presence?"
"No... it's just us..." Rean said.
"What the hell is going on?" Sara wondered. "Well... Whatever that happen... we should get moving." She said as everyone walked up to the top of the hill where they saw an altar in front of them.
"Whoa... where are we?" Lucy asked.
"Some sort of altar?" Erza guessed
Stuffwell came out of Mario's pocket. "This is it! This is the place! My senors are picking up tremendous levels of Cobalt Star Readings!" He said when suddenly the Cobalt Star Shards flew out of Stuffwell. Then lights from the pillars appeared and went into the Cobalt Star, protecting the other remaining shards to fully complete it, but then it started to glow a bit to reveal a face.
(Trails of Cold Steel II ost - Spirit Shrine (Aria of the Saint))
"Heroes… I thank you for traveling this far. I am the Star Sprite that lives within the Cobalt Star."
"A Star Spirit?" Emma gasped.
'A Star Spirit?' Levi eyebrow in thought.
"Stars have faces?" Crow blicked.
"Crow, shush!" Machias said.
"I have tapped into the sacred power of this hill so that I might speak with you all. I'm sure many of you may already be aware, but I hold the power to destroy the Shroobs. Princess Shroob knew this and destroyed me before Princess Peach could destroy her. Mario, Luigi, Class VII, everyone… you are our last hope to save this kingdom from destruction. You must hurry, Princess Shroob is getting desperate. My pieces must be brought together once more. If you collect two of the three shards that are hidden somewhere, then it will be enough to destroy the barrier in front of Shroob Castle… and once you found all of them, you will be the heroes of this land." The Star Sprite opened up a path for them. "I am sensing a Star Shard in the Star Shrine. For now, this is all the aid I will give you. We will speak again, for that I'm sure of it. Good luck heroes." It said, breaking apart and then going back inside Stuffwell, all the while Baby Luigi started crying.
(BGM ended)
"Well, now we know where to go next… we must hurry!" Stuffwell said.
"Yeah, we need to find the last two remaining shards and defeat the Shroobs once and for all." Ragna nodded
"Right. Also, why is Baby Luigi crying?"
"Oh, it's all right little one." Sharon said, picking up Baby Luigi. "There there, it's okay." She smiled as Daisy walked over and smiled at Baby Luigi, as both of them seemed to calm him down.
"Thank you!" Baby Luigi smiled as he went back to Luigi.
"Let's go." Ragna said as they took off running… but Levi stayed there for a few seconds and clenched his fists.
"You guys felt that too, right?" Levi asked, turning to Taokaka and Sienna.
"Meow, Tao felt it. Tao got a really really bad feeling meow." Taokaka hissed
"I don't like it…" Sienna said.
"Something is not right. I can sense it. Come on, let's regroup." Levi said as they took off running. 'There's something we're missing... And whoever that REALLY was within the Cobalt Star... was not a Star Spirit.'
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Star Shrine)
"Yeah, some answers can't be find..." Aether nodded and then everyone walk to the summit of Star Hill.
"Wow! It's so pretty!" Ruby exclaimed as they hopped out of the Warp Pipe. Everyone hop out and arrived at the Shrine.
"Holy Moly! Look at this place! It's completely beautiful!" Paimon said.
"Star Hill... A fitting name for the celestial." Kazuha smiled. "I can sense the air has a calm yet a breeze that made me feel at peace."
"It's so relaxing that... I can feel my worries just left so easily..." Levi smiled
"Man... This place is like a paradise." Sara smiled.
"I can see why this is a celestial Shrine." Jusis cross his arm as he smiled.
"Yeah... completely amazing." Machias nodded
"Come on, let's-a go." Mario said as they walked forward until they came to a massive star gate.
"Whoa, that's huge!" Happy said as they walked further where they got closer to the Star Gate… and then it opened its eyes.
"Welcome." The Star Gate greeted everyone. "Pilgrims and wanderers. What is it you seek in this sanctified place? Beyond this gate lies the sacred realm of the stars, keepers of light. Those judged unworthy or without purpose will not be allowed to enter. If you wish to enter the sacred realm of the stars, I must analyze you to see if you are truly worthy of entering the Shrine. You there, man in the red. Step forward." He said as Mario did so. "Now then, I will analyze you."
"Okay then, what do you want me to-"
"Shush! I will look deep into your heart." He said and then closed his eyes. "Hmm, I see… ah… mmm… ooooh… interesting… oh my…" He mused while Mario raised an eyebrow. "Mario, you are the purest and noblest of all heroes, saving the princess, defeating the tyrannical Koopa King-"
"Hmph!" Bowser looked away with folded arms as Mario looked back with a smirk.
"And, as I said before, the purest of heroes… however, your cholesterol worries me a bit. Might I suggest cutting down on the pasta and do some cardio? Maybe have a salad or two to cut down on the pasta."
"I do run a lot." Mario pointed out.
"That may be true, but is it truly enough?" The Star Gate wondered. "Now then… the young man with the black hair, the one with the Tachi. Step forward."
"Okay…" Rean nodded as he walked forward and then was analyzed by him.
"Oooh… ooof… yeesh… uh-huh… mhm… I see… Oh my..." He mused and then opened his eyes. "Rean Schwarzer. Like Mario, you are the noblest of your classmates… Your love and concern for your friends, your family and dear sister Elise warms my heart. However… I am sensing something dark within your heart… something sinister. It's as if you're holding back on your fears… That dark power awoken when you were just a child, just to protect your dear adopted sister. The "Ogre power" " He said as Rean tensed up and clenched his fists. "You have your friends and family, even your Instructor who will have your back. Lean on them if you must. You already can count on your teammates in battle, but why not so do with your life? Clearly, that sinister power you possess haunts you but you believe your sister is too afraid of you even now. But what make you assume she's scared of you now? Have you even consider talking to her about it?"
"I... I have not... but... I can't..." Rean said, awkwardly rubbing his arm.
"I suggest you do. You claim to be a "burden" to your family but is that really true? You can't keep thinking that. So accept their love for you and accept that power you possess. That power may help you through even the most difficult times. The words of Wisdom from the Raident Blademaster and your teacher. Take their words to heart. Also, you need to be more aware of the situations and read the atmosphere including. Not to mention the feelings of others. You can't be oblivious either."
"I'll take your words at heart... Wait, I'm oblivious?" Rean title his head.
'You are.' Class VII and Sara, except Millium thought.
"You are and that concerns me. Also, perhaps you should consider don't be TOO overprotective with Elise? I understand you adore her but some of the things are too much."
"What do you mean? Is it wrong for a big brother to be a little protective of his little sister? After all, my sister is too lovely to be in the outside world." Rean said as everyone sweatdrop.
'She's gonna die alone...' Almost everyone thought of that.
"My goodness, your Sister Complex has reached 9000." The Star Gate sweatdrop. "In any case, be at ease." He said as Rean stepped back and took a deep breath.
"Silver boy, step forth." The Star Gate requested as Levi step forward. "Uh-huh… oooh… curious… oh my…" He opened his eyes and looked at Yang. "You're a level-headed person at times and yet whenever someone upsets you, you can be a little threatening. And when someone really upsets you, you would go that far and have no regrets. Honestly I'm not sure about you." He said. "Still, you were raised this way and you been indoors for far too long. I can understand if that's your version of justice but try not to go overboard. Not everything is black and white."
"Easy for you to say... but I understand... I'll think about it." Levi said.
"However, you're a strong capable fighter who is willing to put his life on the line for the others, though I must recommend that you tell the others about your "Secret".
Levi sighed. "I was planning on it."
"All right, you're fine." The Star Door said and Levi step back and took a deep sign.
"The Blond young man with the ponytail step forth." The Star Gate said as Aether step forward. "Mmm... ah... oh... curious... I see..." He said as he's done analyzing Aether. "Your search for your sister is admirable. I understand that you're searing far and wide for her. There is no doubt you and your sister will return home and continue your journeys. However, I'm afraid that will depends on your sister."
"What do you mean?" Aether asked.
"I'm afraid I cannot answer that. But no doubt you will get through to her eventually. You pass."
Several minutes of analyzing later…
"I have finished my analyzing. Some of you are pure in heart and have the noblest of intentions. Some of you have carefree attitudes. Some of you have issues because of what happened to you in the past-" Machias scratch his hair as Alisa rub her arm. " Some of you have taken hundreds of lives, but you had no other choice because you were raised as mercenaries, it's either kill or be killed-" Sara and Fie nodded. "Some of you had a dark past and kept secrets, yet some of you who do have a dark past and kept secrets, you are willing to look brightly toward the future and are more open than you were before-" Claire took a deep breath while Sharon close her eyes. "Some of you are willing to go to extreme lengths to accomplish your goal. Admirable, but it's a bit concerning… I'd keep that in check."
Ironwood and Sienna looked at each other and slowly nodded.
"Some of you suffer at the hands of adults, who abuse their power and seek to change the corrupted world by stealing their treasure and change their hearts against a wicked god-" Joker turned his head to Phantom Thieves, smiled at each other. "Some of you slay angels and demons for the trill of it. Yet both sides seek destructions-" Bayonetta let out a small smirk on her lips. "And then there are some of you who are villainous but are putting aside petty differences to help fight a common enemy. I truly do not know what to think about this. I am conflicted, honestly… however, there are three who stands out the most. Luigi. Crow, Step forward."
The trio looked at each other and stepped forward. "You two uh… good luck out there."
"EH?!" Luigi jawdropped while Crow close his eyes and place his arms behind his back.
"Thanks." Crow casually said.
"You two are the most questionable of them all… but I will not reveal your secrets for I have whispered them in your ears. There are but three options for you to take. Go back home and forget about it, stay here and be left behind… or go find the Aurora Block. It is up to you what you want to do. Good luck on your future endeavors… I will be here."
"The Aurora Block? I don't even know what that is!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Eh, I'm okay with either choice one or two." Crow said.
"Why are you acting casual about it?" Rean asked. "Never mind, we'll help look for the Aurora blocked."
"Eh… do we have to?" Roman said, earning some glare from some of them. "What? I was just joking!"
"Let's go find it. It can't be that far." Daisy said as they walked around the area where they came across some Hand Fakes, Love Bubbles and some Fly Guys who were holding bombs. They quickly got rid of them easily. As they walked ahead, they spotted a rainbow-like block in front of them.
"There it is!" Alisa said.
"Okay, how do we get it out?" Luigi asked.
"We work together." Levi said as he turned to the others as they nodded, where they helped out to get the Aurora Block out of there. Bowser weakened the cage with his punches, Levi and Laura strike the cage with their weapons, weakening it moew, while the Bros threw their babies on a small trampoline to have them fly up to a platform above them while Taokaka climb into the cage and kick the block as it lifted up into the air where the Baby Bros grab their hammers and swing it at the block, and launch it towards everyone below, As everyone scrambled to get it in place as Luigi prepared to hit it from underneath.
"Aren't you gonna hit the block too?" Alisa asked.
"Something tells me that block has a mind of it's own. But I'll give it a shot." He said as he pulled out his Orbal Pistols.
Crow shoot while Luigi jumped up in the air… but then the Aurora Block flew off back to the Star Gate.
"Where's it going?!" Luigi said.
"Quick, after it!" Mario said as they took off running where they would find it back at the Star Gate.
"Ah, you have found the Aurora Block. Good job." The Star Gate said. "I'm curious Crow, you said you would do Choice one or two? Which is it?"
"Like I said. I choose one of those two choices. However, I'm afraid I don't have a choice in the matter with everyone wanted me to go." Crow answered as he shrug.
"Hmm... Is that so? Very well. Luigi, and possibly Crow. Who hit this block? You may choose from the following: The one or two of you, Crow's orbal gun, or the Babies."
"The two of us did." Luigi said.
"That is not true, is it? Think this through carefully."
"Um… Crow's Orbal gun?" Luigi said.
"Wrong again!"
"…The babies?" Luigi asked.
"Come on Luigi. That was a trick question. There's a fourth hidden answer. EVERYONE pitched in to help us. So the correct answer is everyone." Crow said.
"EXACTLY! Crow is the only one who thought this carefully and answered correctly. You on the other hand did not even THINK! You truly call yourself a hero?"
"B-But you said to choose those three answers!" Luigi exclaimed
"You claim I did? Liar! It just goes to prove the type of character you are!"
"What are you talking about?" Luigi asked.
(BGM ended)
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Beyond a Little Hope)
"You! Luigi! You claim to be a Mario Brother, but you constantly live in the shadow of your brother! You envy him! You secretly hated him! Whenever people cheered for the Mario bros, you only heard Mario instead of bros in the end! You did… something horrible in high school that is too gross to even say! I could go on about what you did!" He said before turning to Crow. "Although Crow has answered correctly and know that it was everyone who helped. It's his choice if he wish to hit the Aurora block. However, I'm also conflicted with him. I understand his reasons for such actions but I do not approve! Espcually with his actions and his connections to those-"
"Hey, Door guy." Crow interrupted him. "I appreciate it if you don't mention about my past. Espcually some of those actions. Tempted, I was curious to hit the Aurora block and see if I'm acceptable because of my reasons." Then Crow lace his hands on his hips and glared at the Star Door. "But what give you the right to trash talk my buddy Luigi here? Heck, everyone here can tell that Luigi has grown a lot and you only look down at his fault. That shitty method you're doing to him, he doesn't deserve that. I'm sure whatever happened in his past, he thought long and hard for what he done and even regret it. Luigi change back then. He's a good guy. Granted he may be a coward at times, but he's always brave, he just needed a little encouragement, and he does his absolute best to help us! And there's no way in hell we're leaving him behind! So shut that shitty mouth of your! And if you trash talk while we're here. You got another thing coming!"
"Crow..." Luigi ahead a tear in his eyes.
"That's right!" Rean glare at the Star Door. "Luigi is just as important to everyone here. We all have things we done in the past and regret. But that doesn't give you the right to look down on him like that!"
"Yeah... that was a seriously cruel thing you're doing to him." Millium nodded.
"And you got some nerve insulting his pride and look beyond his reason!" Jusis glared.
"Yeah, who give you that right, huh?!" Macihas glared.
"I'm not going without my brother!" Mario declared.
"Yeah! My guy is going with us whether you like it or not, you jackass!" Daisy yelled as everyone else started arguing to the Star Gate.
"SIIIIILEEEEEEEEEENCE!" A voice roared throughout the Star Shrine as they turned to see Bowser approaching the Star Gate… and he looked mighty pissed. "I give Green 'Stache crap all the time… but even I can see potential in him! YOU on the other hand crossed a line! Not even I would go that far into humiliating them, even on my worse days! You call yourself a benevolent door who judges people from the inside, but from what I can tell! You only judge people for their deeds and not their sense of character!" He pulled back his fist. "You… ARE NOTHING BUT A FRAUD!" He yelled, punching the Star Gate hard enough to leave a huge dent on him.
"OOOF!" Star Gate winced.
Meanwhile…
"Mmph!" A Star Spirit said as they were in a meeting.
"What is it?" Another Star Spirit asked.
"I don't know… but I feel… a disturbance in the force!"
"What kind of disturbance?"
"I feel as if someone silenced the Star Gate!"
Back with the heroes…
(BGM ended)
"If I may…" A voice spoke up as they looked up to see a Star Spirit approaching them from above. The Star Spirit in question was light blue in color with some darkblue highlights.
The Star Gate's eyes widened. "You! You're… $* !^"
"Indeed I am." The Star Spirit said. "My name is unintelligible to many… but you may call me the Star Spirit."
"Wait a second… that voice!" Mario said. "Is that you… Geno?"
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Things Entrusted)
"Geno… that is an odd name for me." The Star Spirit said. "And yet… it feels so familiar." He mused as he looked at Mario, Luigi and Bowser. "We have never met… yet our meeting feels very familiar."
"Yeah, it's because we've met a long time ago, puppet boy!" Bowser said.
"Hmm… I suppose so." The Star Spirit mused. "Perhaps we have met at a different time? I have no recollection of you but, as I said, it feels familiar…" He said. "Ah, but let us not worry about that." He turned to the Star Gate. "Star Gate, it appears that you have been doing it again. You judge those based on misdeeds instead of the reflections of their character. No hero has ever done something good. No hero is perfect. Heroes may have done something in the past that they regret. Now, let them through, for I can sense benevolent intentions."
Star Gate closed his eyes as he started chuckling before laughing out loud. "Yes… yes! Everyone banding together to help out their friends in their time of need! Luigi. You are a Mario Brother, are you not?"
"Yes! And while it may be true I'm a bit jealous, that won't stop me from loving my brother. In fact, I helped save him from King Boo!" He said, as he felt comforting hands on his shoulders as he looked to see Mario, Daisy, Crow, Machias, Levi, Rean, well all of Class VII all smiling at him.
"Correct!" Star Gate said. "You two have passed the test!"
"TEST?!" Everyone yelled in shock.
"What kind of test is THAT?!" Crow exclaimed.
"Seriously, what the hell!?" Sara pouted
"Seriously? I didn't bring a pencil!" Skull groaned.
"It wasn't that kind of test you doofus." Oracle sighed.
"A cheeky one aren't you?" Bayonetta asked.
The Star Spirit sweatdrop. "Doing this to test someone isn't the way to go…"
"Oh hush now. It gets results! Now then, you two, hit the Aurora Block." He requested as Luigi got under it and Crow aiming his Orbal Pistol at the Aurora Block as they all hit the block at the same time. "Ah yes, a fine jump." He said as the Aurora Block flew up in the air. "By the way, the Aurora Block will grow to the size of the heart who hits it." He said… and right on cue, the Aurora Block came crashing down and crashed into Luigi while nearly crushing Crow
"WHOA!" Crow yelped.
"Mmph! Mmmph!" Luigi grunted as the Aurora Block rose up as they saw a pancaked Luigi on the ground. "Oooogh…" He groaned as the babies laughed and pulled him away.
"Now then… the Star Shrine awaits." The Star Gate opened up while Crow, Levi, Machias, Alisa, Mario and Daisy helped Luigi up. As they walked through the gate… but before Bowser and the others could go through, the Star Gate shut before they could go through.
"HEY! What's the big idea!" Baby Bowser yelled.
"Oh no! I am not letting villains into the Star Shrine and that is final!" The Star Door said.
"…Alright, you asked for it." Bowser said as he grabbed the Star Shrine and with his strength alone, he forcefully opened the Star Gate. "In you go!" He said as the Squad of Awesome went inside and Bowser went in last, closing the Star Gate behind him as he had a shocked look.
"What just happened?"
"You got punched in the face and Bowser open the path with his strength. You really need to stop that bull set whenever someone comes." The Star Spirit answered
"Hmph. Some people can't even take a joke..."
"I hardly called that a joke."
"You have yours, and I have mine. Still..." The Star Gate close his eyes.
"Is something amiss?" The Star Spirit asked.
"Well, a few... Rean Schwarzer... he holds a malevolent power. Its influence will one day bring an end to the world."
"I've noticed..."
"Yep. And Levi Sullivan... he's not of this world."
"You mean..."
"Yes... but the power that he possesses... it will be the "light" to this world."
(BGM ended)
A star was formed in front of everyone as a Warp Pipe appeared before them.
"Phew… that was annoying." Joker said.
"Especially with those Piranha Planets." Morgana said.
"Tell me about it!" Ann groaned.
"Eh, they weren't so bad. All you had to do is roast 'em! Bwahaha!" Bowser chuckled as they went into the warp pipe, then they found themselves deep in the Star Shrine as they walked further along… until they discovered a Cobalt Star Shard in the wall.
"Hey! There it is!" Noir exclaimed.
"Wonderful!" Fox cheered as Ironwood aimed at the glass and shot it, shattering it as the Cobalt Star shard dropped to the ground as Mario walked over and picked it up, then Stuffwell came out and opened up as the Cobalt Star moved over to the piece, where they connected it to the Star.
"Now we have four of them" Queen cheered.
"One more to go." Bayenotta said.
Levi felt the dark presence just risen before fading away. 'It grow larger...' he thought when they heard someone coming in as they saw a Lakitu flying in with Kylie and Toadbert.
"Thank you very much for choosing Lakitu travels. Have a nice day!" Lakitu said and then flew off.
"Boy, we searched all over for you!" Kylie said.
"Kylie, what happened to you?" Paimon asked
"The last time we saw you was back in the mothership." Carla said
"First I landed on top of Toadbert's head at Yoshi's Island… and then we had to figure out where the devil you were!"
"Yeah, she landed on my head… and then… my memory came back, by boogity!" Toadbert exclaimed. "Oh man, it was good to remember everything!" He said and then pulled out a Cobalt Star Shard, as everyone's eyes widened in surprise. "I even had this with me! It's one of the Cobal Star Shards you all been searching for!"
"I can't believe you had that the entire time!" Mona sighed. "But given you just have amnesia, I can't blame you."
"And if you collect all of them, you'll save the kingdom and destroy the Shroobs, correct?"
"Yeah." Mario nodded.
"Well, even if you completed the Cobalt Star… destroying the Shroobs… will still be impossible!"
"What?! What do you mean?!" Oracle exclaimed.
Mario pulled out the Cobalt Star. "But we have four of them."
"ACK! NO! NOOOOOOOOO!" Toadbert yelled as he took off running."I'M NOT GOING THROUGH THAT AGAIN!"
"Whoooooa! Toadbert! Where ya goin'?" Kylie asked as she chased after him.
"That was odd." Carla said.
"What's gotten into him all of the sudden?" Laura asked as the Cobalt Star took off as well.
"Come on, let's go!" Bowser said as they took off.
They begin to chase after them by going up the stars and then following a straight pathway and then open the last door in front of them.
"EEEEEEEEK!" Kylie screamed on the other side of the door.
"Kylie!" Natsu yelled as they rush and follow the direction of the voice. But by the time they arrived. Kylie and Toadbert were on the ground.
(Mario and Luigi Partners in Time ost - Shroob Attack)
"Kylie! Toadsworth!" Lucy yelled and everyone begin to check on them as Wendy heal them.
"What happened?!" Erza asked.
"M-M-Monster... D-D-Danger... The... Cobalt..Star..." Kylie weakly and whisper said.
"Huh?" Gray look confused with everyone.
"E-Everyone... My sketch... The answer is there... the... hidden...answer..." Toadbert weakly said as Stuffwell came out of Mario's pocket and opened up, and then Mario took the drawing out of it. "Remove... the dirt smudge..."
"Anyone got a rag?" Mario asked.
"I got one." Wendy said, tossing it to Mario "I always like to carry one, never know when you need it."
"Thanks." He said as he took the paper and began rubbing the dirt smudge off of it, Levi then look into it as well, and then their eyes widened in shock. "Wh-WHAT?!" He yelled as everyone took a look.
"N-No way!" Machias gulped
"There are two Princess Shroobs?!" Elliot exclaimed.
"Why are there two Princess Shroobs?!" Claire asked.
Levi gasped. as he looks pale. "Aidios..."
"Levi, what's wrong?" Rean asked
"I just figure it out..." He said as he shake his head and grab his Glaive. "Where are the Cobalt Stars?!"
(BGM ended)
Then suddenly the ground begin to shake.
(Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep ost - Vim and Vigor)
Something red burst out of the wall where the painting of the stars is it.
"WHAT THE?!" Natsu yelled.
Everyone see the Elder Shrooboid.
"That things look just like the one back in the castle!" Sharon pointed out.
It roared and suddenly, two lightning bolts hit Toadbert and Kylie, as they turned into Shroobified mushrooms.
"Kylie! Toadbert!" Paimon screamed.
"YOU BASTARD!" Ragna yelled and brought out his Armara. "Let's take this son of bitch down!"
"Yeah!" Everyone yelled.
Grand Elder of the Shrooboid - Elder Shrooboid
The Elder Shrooboid punch the ground causing a small firey shockwave. Natsu jump in front and eat the fire.
"Only crap, he's actually eating the fire!" Skull exclaimed.
'Note to self: Careful with this guy.' Bowser quickly brought out his notes on what to do.
The Elder Shrooboid was shocked but annoyed as it roared. Then he charge at Natsu who launch a powerful punch to his mouth for eating his flames.
"Open Gate of the Bull! Taurus!" Lucy called out and appeared Taurus.
"Mooo!" Taurus mooed and ready his Axe and notice the ladies. "Hello ladies!"
"Taurus eyes forward!" Lucy pointed at the Elder Shrooboid roared.
"Oops! Let's take this fungus out, Moo!" Taurus said and then charge and swing his Axe as the Elder Shroodoid dodge the swing of his axe and then Taokaka zoom and then claw attack it's face then a palm attack, focuing it back.
"Analysing Enemy unit!" Elliot then use his craft Detector.
Elder Shrooboid
Elder of the Shrooboid sent by Princess Shroob. Possesses Powerful Pyrokonisis to bring cinders through everything it touches.
Weak to Water
"It's weak to water! Use any water-related attacks!" Elliot informed as he begin to cast his Orbal Art.
"Ooh, if only there's water here..." Lucy frowned as Sara charge towards Elder Shrooboid with swish slashes, Elder Shroodiod block most of her attacks with his hands and then created a fire shockwave to push her back.
Crow and Claire shoot their Orbal Guns towards the Elder Shrooboid who block it with his other hand. Then Ragna charge and launch a slash with his Armmara, while Rean and Levi charge at the Elder Shrooboid with their combat links. They launch slashes and jabs as they each taken turns, the Elder Shroob dodge their attacks, however, soon Rean leap into the air and launch a dive cartwheel attack on him. Levi then zoom and launch combo slashes, damaging him. Then Bayonetta shoot several bullets at the Elder Shrooboid as Fox, Joker and Fox charge towards the Elder Shroobiod who was busy distracted by Rean and Levi, then they launch a sneak attack with their weapons and then shoot bullets at his face. The Elder Shooboid roared at them while Winter Stab the ground causing the ground to freeze at the Elder Shrooboid. Machias shoot at the Elder Shooboid as Laura charge in and launch a combo strikes, breaking him free from the ice prison and push him back.
The Elder Shroobiod got back on his feet and then he summoned chain balls and throw them at everyone rapidly. Everyone dodge and then Sharon charge and strike and reappeared behind him, dropping one of the spike balls on his feet. The Elder Shrooboid yelped in pain as he jump and hold his injured foot.
"Ice Make: Ice Bringer!" Gray forms two large swords out of ice- holding one in each hand and attacking the Elder Shrooboid with an intersecting, cross-shaped slash.
"Sky Dragon's Claw!" Wendy generates large winds from her feet while swinging her leg down on Elder Shrooboid.
"Take this!" Elliot cast his Orbal Art Hydro Cannon at Elder Shrooboid as the Elder Shrooboid cry in agony.
"Oh, hold that spell!" Lucy approach the water and brought out a celestial Spirit Key and touch the water. "Open Gate of the Water Bearer! Aquarius!"
Then appeared Aquarius on the water.
"A mermaid!?" Emma gasped.
"Lucy..." Aquarius glared at Lucy. "I WAS IN A MIDDLE OF A DATE! AND YOU DARE CALL ON ME!?"
"I'm sorry but can you help deal with this guy!" Lucy exclaimed as she pointed at the Elder Shooboid.
"Well I'm pretty angry!" Aquarius roared as she absorbs water inside her urn and then hurls it at Elder Shroobiod with tremendous force and causing a large tital wave and unfortunately everyone got caught in it.
"Why US?!" Machas exclaimed as he is being pushed back with everyone.
"What is with your spirit?!" Sara exclaimed as she was swirling in the water with Claire.
"I'm sorry everyone!" Lucy exclaimed.
"Frogigator/Bionne/Wooper/ Croconaw!" Rean, Elliot and Laura called out their water Pokemon as the water died down.
"Solosis!" Emma called out her Solosis.
"Rolypoly! Hoothoot!" Machias called out his Rolypoly and Hoothoot.
"Rockruff!" Jusis called out his Rockruff.
"Sewabbe!" Levi called out.
"Geodude!" Millium called out her Geodude
"Sneasel let's go!" Crow called out his Sneasel.

"Woobat, let's go buddy!" Sara called out her Woobat.
"Clefairy, come out!" Alisa called out her Clefairy.
"Well since we're including our pokemon. We should do ours." Yuri said and got his Pokeball. "Absol!"
