(Paper Mario ost - Gusty Gulch Adventure)
"So, this is Gusty Gulch." Mario said as they wandered into the area.
"This is… quite the interesting place all right." Hapi said. "The sky does look sunset hours."
"Indeed. Although it is unclear if there are clouds in the sky." Constance nodded. "If it is. Then we should have no worries."
"Worries about what?" Bow asked.
"Let's just say I'm not fond of sunlight."
The Party continue to walk further as they noticed a windmill near them.
"A windmill?" Ashe asked
"What's a windmill doing out here?" Hapi asked.
"I'm not sure why but… I feel like this windmill is going to be important." Rean said
"It's also locked." Elliot nodded. "Lady Bow, why is the windmill lock?"
"Just call me Bow. And I am not so sure myself as well." Bow answered. "I know this land like the back of my hand. And this is the first time the windmill is locked. If anything, it feels like someone lock it."
"What do you think we should do?" Claude asked. "I'm actually curious."
"If it all right, why don't we check it out?" Ashe suggest.
"Yeah, I'm super curious." Millium said.
"But the problem is it's locked. We don't have the key too." Machias stated
"I can unlock it." Ashe said.
"You can?" Fie asked
"Yeah. I'm not exactly proud of this skill, but if it for a good cause. I can open it with ease."
The Party then approach the lock of the windmill-
"Wait a moment!" Celine said.
"Celine?" Gaius asked.
"Emma, Constance, Levi, you can feel it right?"
"Yes. I can feel it." Emma nodded as she look serious.
"Is something the matter?" Laura asked
"Yes. This lock has a powerful ward." Constance nodded.
"A ward?" Jusis asked
"It's a protection type of magic. Think of it as a guard." Levi explain it.
"Yeah, I can feel it too. Someone really doesn't want us to look what's inside." Hapi nodded.
"You can use magic too, Hapi?" Emma asked.
"Sure can. And this one is really powerful."
"I can sense this is Vita's magic at work." Celine said. "If you unlock it, it will probably trigger an alert or a trap. And if you use magic to unlock it, it will repel."
"Then this windmill might be very important. We should remember that once we find the key." Gaius nodded
"If the key really is capable of dispelling the ward too."
The group resumed their walking until they arrived at an abandoned village. Then a Boo approaches them.
"Oh, Lady Bow! What a surprise to see you! But what are you doing here?" A Boo asked. "You shouldn't be here your ladyship, it's dangerous. Tubba Blubba could come here at any time!"
"I know! I came here to teach that Tubba Blubba a lesson!" Bow answered. "Bring him on! When was the last time he came through here?"
"Why, just yesterday, my Lady. It was horrible… He… ugh… This time, he… ate Herbert. Oh, it was gruesome! Poor Herbert! He was so dark and depressing! What a terrific Boo!"
Bow gasped. "Oh, no! Not Herbert! Ooh, Tuuba Blubba… He must be stopped! Listen, everyone! Don't fear! We're on our way to defeat this Tubba Blubba once and for all! That monster has eaten his last Boo-meal!"
"Oh my Lady! Your bravery is inspiring! But you know he's called the Invincible Tubba Blubba right? Please be careful, okay?"
"Of course we will. Your concern is appreciated."
The group then walk through the abandoned village.
"So this is where the Boo lives? In an abandoned village?" Ashe asked.
"That's right. We boos live in dark and abandon places." Bow answered.
"I'm guessing it's a ghost thing." Claude said.
"Do ghosts even need a place to live or sleep?" Hapi asked.
"I'm pretty sure they don't." Levi said. "But I could be wrong?"
"Hello, there!" A Boo approaches them.
"Oh, Hello. Can we help you?" Elliot asked
"You're going up to beat Tubba Blabba, right?"
"That's right, we are." Caspar nodded. "There's no way we're going to let him get away with eating you guys ever again!"
"That's wonderful to hear! Then I'll be cheering you on!"
"Yeah! Tubba Blubba won't know what will hi-"
"Wait!" Levi interrupted. "I'm sensing something coming this way."
Right on cue was a stomp.
(BGM ended)
"What was that just now?" Sara asked.
"…Ooooh, that's probably Tubba Blubba." The Boo said as the other Boos disappeared.
(Paper Mario ost - Tubba Blubba's castle)
"Already he's coming this way! Then let's take him down!" Caspar rally.
"No you can't! He's invincible right now! If he see you, he will crush you!"
"But-" …Lady Bow, you gotta hide all of them!"
"Right!" Bow nodded. "Everyone, gather around me and touch me! I'll make us all disappear!"
"But-"
"Just do it!" Bow Interrupted Caspar.
"Oh fine…" Caspar sigh and then he and everyone else touch Bow as she quickly turned everyone invisible.
"Great! Everything's cool! Now that you're all disappeared, he won't even notice you!" The Boo exclaimed. "This is excellent! You won't have to worry about being seen by Tubba Blubba and… he's right behind me, isn't he?" He asked as he turned to see Tubba Blubba.
"Mmm! You look tasty! I needed a snack!" He said, grabbing a hold of the Boo.
"Uh oh…" The Boo paled as he tried to flee, but Tubba Blubba had a firm grip… and he ate the poor guy as the others looked at in horror.
'Boo guy! Nooo!' Caspar thought
'I think I'm gonna be sick…' Millium and Luigi thought.
'That's horrible!' Emma thought.
'I wish I didn't see that…' Celine thought
'Goddess…' Ashe thought.
Tubba Blubba looked around before he walked off back to his castle.
"Oh! Stanley!" A Boo cried as they reappeared. "Oh the horror of it all!"
"Uggggh! Damn it!" Caspar stomp his feet. "And just when I said we won't let him eat another Boo! This is what I meant Professor!"
"I understand how you feel, truly I do Caspar. We need to stop Tubba Blubba and fast. Before another victim gets eaten." Byleth stated
"You're right… That poor Boo… We need to stop Tubba Blubba." Ashe nodded as he look mad.
"Yeah. The Bracer guild would definitely take this case. If they can get through the Forever Forest." Sara nodded "Come on everyone, let's head to Tubba Blubba and fast!"
"Right!" Everyone nodded and then they ran and they took care of the Hyper Goomba family and Hyper Clefts that got in their way. Then they arrived at Tubba Blubba castle.
"So this is Tubba Blubba castle." Mario said.
"Whoa… it's huge!" Millium exclaimed
"Shh! Keep your voice down! He'll hear us!" Jusis stated
"For a castle, it certainly doesn't look maintained." Constance said.
"Maybe it's an old castle. Either way, the ghost gobbler lives here." Hapi replied
"Right, let's go everyone. We must find out his secret and defeat him once and for all." Rean said.
"Right!" Everyone said but quietly as they enter the castle. Once they're in. They notice the castle has Sentinels.
"What are those?" Claude asked
"They look like sentinel." Alisa said.
And then a few spotted them. The range fighters launch magic and arrows and strike them down as they disappeared
"That should do it. Now they won't raise the alarm." Hapi said.
"Let us handle those sentinel. If there are any soldiers, we'll back you up." Claude said.
"Right!" The party nodded and then begin to make their way to the castle. But one door was locked. Lucky Ashe use his unique skills and open it. They made their way upstairs and dealt with the Clubba.
"This castle is so huge!" Ashe exclaimed
"Seriously. Probably it was designed for the big guy. Like a giant!" Caspar exclaimed
"Caspar, you really need to lower your voice. Otherwise, Tubba Blubba will hear you." Claude stated.
"Right… Sorry."
"Ugh, this castle has not been clean and swept! What were the guards here thinking?!" Constance complained
"They're probably the lazy types. I saw some of them just taking a nap." Hapi said.
"They sound like my kind of crowd." Linhardt said through Byleth's pocket.
"Of course, you'll say that." Caspar sighed.
They continue to go up while Ashe unlocks the doors and then made their way to a large hall. However, they're not alone.
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario ost - Tubba's Heart)
"Mmm! What's this? *Sniff* I smell something very fishy..." Tubba Blubba said.
"Uh oh!" Bow said as she quickly hid them as Tubba Blubba walked toward them.
"Hmm…" He said and walked out of the hallway.
"That was close. Come on, let's continue." Rean said as they continue the hallways. Ashe unlock the door.
(BGM paused)
(Resuming Paper Mario ost - Tubba's Blubba Castle)
They continue to wonder through the halls at the highest floor and then enter a large room.
"Where are we?" Gaius asked
"I think we're in the big guy's room." Claude answered
"Then that means the big guy's secret must be in here." Levi nodded.
They begin to explore Tubba Blubba's room and found a treasure chest in the other side of the bed.
"A treasure chest. Let's see what's-"
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Tubba's Heart)
Laura then got interrupted when Tubba Blubba enter his room and they all hide behind his bed.
"Hmmm, I might be in trouble." Tubba Blubba said. "That Star Spirit ran away… And now I think someone or somebodies suspicious is in the castle… I sure don't want to make King Bowser mad. He's scary. He did make me invincible, but if I screw up, he might change me back to normal.
'So it was Bowser's doing.' Everyone thought.
"Time for some beauty rest." Tubba Blubba yawned and then went to bed and sleep.
(BGM ended)
"He's asleep. Let's get what's inside and get out." Fie whisper as they opened the chest to reveal… a sentient key in a way.
"Hello!" The key spoke.
"Holy- A talking key!" Elliot exclaimed
"I'm Yakkey. I'm a faithful and chatty follower of Master Tubba Blubba! My very important job is to guard his valuables. But… you all don't look like Master Tubba Blubba at all."
"No duh you idiot." Levi said.
"Then that means… You all came here to steal me, the magical key that unlocks the door to Windy Mill at the foot of Gusty Gulch? And furthermore, your goal is to find out if there's a secret inside that Windy Mill?"
"So Tubba Blubba secret is within the Mill!" Ashe exclaimed
"And you literally told us that?" Cladue asked
"You're coming with us, pal!" Caspar smirked
"…Crud." Yakkey said. "HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! I'M BEING STOLEN!"
(Paper Mario ost - Castle Crumbles)
"Mmm… wha…? What's all the noise?" Tubba Blubba woke up in a daze. "…Five more minutes, mom…"
"You little!" Levi growled as he grab Yakkey by the throat… well, if he had one.
"Ack! Can't… breathe!"
"Come on, let's get out of here!" Byleth said as they quickly walked out of the room and as they were in the middle of the hallway… Tubba Blubba came out angrily.
"HEY! STOP, YOU THIEVES!" Tubba Blubba yelled
"Uh oh!" Luigi exclaimed.
Tubba Blubba punched the ground again, causing the bridge to fall and have them fall to the middle floor.
"…Well, that's one way to get out of here!" Claude said as they took off. As they did. Tubba Blubba was chasing after them.
"He's gaining on us!" Ashe exclaimed.
"I don't know why but this is getting exciting!" Levi replied.
"Why are you getting excited right now!?" Machias exclaimed
The Range fires launch their magic and crafts at Tubba Blubba to slow him down but that failed completely.
"Our attacks literally bounce off!" Alisa exclaimed
"All right you! This is for all the Boos you eaten!" Caspar yelled and then charge towards Tubba Blubba. "YAAAH!"
"Caspar Wait!" Byleth shout
Caspar launch a powerful punch attack on Tubba Blubba's stomach. Only to fail when Caspar hit him like a brink wall.
"Um…" Caspar sweatdrop then look up and see Tubba Blubba angry face. "You really are invincible aren't you?" Tubba Blubba then punch Caspar and send him flying.
"Caspar! Gah!" Ashe exclaimed, but then got caught in the punch to the wall with Caspar.
"Ashe! Caspar, you okay?!" Claude exclaimed as he and the others help them up quickly as Tubba Blubba continue to pursue them.
"Ohohoho! Then perhaps it's time for me to launch my magic! Take this Tubba Blubba!" Constance launched and then cast a powerful ice prison spell on Tubba Blubba and made him stop moving as he is frozen solid.
(BGM ended)
"You… You did it?" Jusis asked and look surprised with everyone.
"I did? I mean, yes I did! Witness the glory of House Nuvelle spell craft! Ohohohoho!" Constance launched. But then heard a crack."Huh?"
(Resuming Castle Crumble)
Tubba Blubba roared as he broke free and then resume chasing after them.
"I've spoken too soon!" Jusis exclaimed as everyone run away as they head downstairs to the first floor.
"How could this be?! That was my most powerful ice spell to trap someone!" Constance exclaimed.
"I guess he really is that strong!" Elliot exclaimed as they broke through the door.
-Outside the Castle-
A bunch of Boos appeared in front ot the castle door.
"At last, we've arrived at Tubba Blubba's Castle! Are you ready, everyone?" A Boo asked. "Be brave! We must do all we can to help Lady Bow!"
"But what should we do?" Ask one of the Boos
"This is no time to lose our nerve fellow Boos! Our dear lady is fighting against Tubba Blubba himself! We mustn't hesitate!"
"Get back here!" Tubba Blubba yelled and right on cue, the party burst out of the door.
"What are you guys doing here?!" Caspar exclaimed
"Never mind that! Tubba Blubba is coming!" Ashe exclaimed
"He is?!" The Boo exclaimed, "HOLD THE DOOR!" He yelled as they quickly attached themselves to the door.
"We need to hurry to the windmill and fast!" Claude stated
"The windmill? Why do you want to go there?" A Boo asked
"Turns out the old windmill has Tubba Blubba's weakness." Sara said.
"For real? Oh of course! If that case, you must hurry and run as fast as you can to the Windy Mill! We'll hold him off."
"What?! Nuh uh! No way we're gonna let that happen!" Caspar exclaimed
"I agree. It's too dangerous! You'll get eaten if you do!" Ashe stated
Then they heard the door being pouted but the Boos are holding themselves tight to prevent Tubba Blubba from escaping.
"Argh! Why won't this stupid doors open?!" Tubba Blubba roared.
Then the Boo join the others to hold the door. "My Lady, everyone, please! I don't know how long… we can keep this up. But don't worry about us! Go for all our sakes! Don't look back!"
"You brave ghosts…" Bow muttered. "Very well. Come on!"
The group nodded and then ran as fast as they can.
"I smell delicious Boos! OPEN THIS DOOR!" Tubba Blubba's voice roared.
"Those brave Boos… what a true example of being a knight…" Ashe sadden.
"We won't let their sacrifice be in vain. Let's hurry to the windmill." Byleth stated.
"The Boo should sense him coming with those stomps of his. Still, we should warn them in case." Sara advised.
They begin to rush down the hills and then return to the abandoned village and then warn them all in case. Then they begin to arrive at the Windy Mill.
"Okay, we're here. Get that key out!" Alisa stated.
Levi pulled the key and then forced Yakkey to unlock the door. Once the lock is removed, the ward disappeared as well. Then they went inside and see a well being blocked. Then Mario Ground pound and they all follow him down the well. They ran through some long hallways until eventually… they came across a heart.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Tubba Blubba's Heart)
"What in the…" Constance said in bewilderment. "A heart?"
"What's a heart doing in here?" Hapi wondered.
"Oi! Who are you guys?" The heart asked.
"And it talks?!" Claude exclaimed
"Wait a moment… you wouldn't happen to be Tubba Blubba's weakness, aren't you?" Byleth asked.
"What? Noooo, I'm not a weakness at all… I'm just an average heart seeking peace and quiet."
"Oh really?" Levi pulled out Yakkey.
"YOU!"
"I'm sorry! I accidentally said too much!" Yakkey cried
"Ohh! After this, I'm going to dispose of you! …Okay, fine, I AM the weakness. I am Tubba Blubba!"
"Hold up, YOU'RE the real Tubba Blubba?" Caspar asked.
"But… the one we met…" Ashe paused.
"Then the one we met was actually a puppet. And you're pulling the strings, aren't you?" Byleth asked
"That's right! I'm pulling the strings on that puppet!" Tubba Blubba's Heart said. "And boy oh boy, once I pulled myself out of that body, I've never felt more alive. In fact, eating Boos makes me feel more alive! And oh look, there's a Boo right there! I'll gladly eat you alive once I'm through with you."
"Blech! You wish! You don't have a chance, you ghost-gobbling freak! This is where it ends!" Bow declared.
"Heh heh heh heh! we'll see about that." He said as they got ready for battle.
"All right, everyone!" Rean pulled out his weapon and so did everyone else. "Let's do this!"
"Yeah!" The group shouted
(BGM eded)
(Paper Mario ost - Ghost Gulping)
"Hup! Coming through!" The heart hopped off of its stump and tried to tackle them, but Mario hammered him away while Rean, Levi, Jusis Byleth, and Caspar then launch themselves and attack the Heart with clashes while Bow went over and slapped him repeatedly. Then Caspar launches an upper axe cut and launch Tubba's Blubba's heart in the air so that Ashe, Claude, Constance, Hapi, Machias, Sara, Fie and Alisa shoot their weapons and magic at it.
"Hey Goombario! Do you have a good read on this guy?" Luigi asked.
"Let me check!" Goombario said as he hopped out and looked through his tattle log. "Let's see… ah, he's got 50 HP, an attack power of 6 and no defense. He's got a powerful charge attack that will do a lot of damage. But other than that, you might say it's the "heart" of Tubba's secret."
"Really, a pun?" Hapi groaned.
"Yeah, you're right. That was a bad one."
"I'm more surprised and confused that how can a heart is the mastermind behind the ghost gobbling. More importantly, how can it even talk?!" Constance exclaimed as she launched lighting on Tubba's Heart.
"Yeah, aren't hearts suppose to be irreplaceable?" Ashe asked as he launch some arrows toward Tubba's heart but he dodge them.
"Not to mention a heart is what keeps a person or anything alive." Claude added as he dodge Tubba's Club attack.
"It must be because of the Star Rod's power. It can perform miracles that can go beyond or defy reason." Emma said as she cast her Arts on Tubba's Heart.
"That's right. And now that Bowser granted my wish, I will return in kind by crushing you all!" Tubba's Heart smirked if it had a mouth and then launch himself towards Ashe and pound him, then did the same to Caspar, Machias, Emma, Jusis and Fie.
"For a mere heart, you're surprisingly tough and fast!" Sara muttered.
"Then prepare yourself heart of evil! Witness the spellcraft of Constance Von Nuvelle!" Constance cast her magic and the spell activated fire, ice, and lighting all over the room. While it did avoid Consance's allies, it managed to caught Tubba in its rampage.
"GAAAAH! Why you little! You ask for it!" He growled and charged up, and then unleashed an attack of mini hearts swarming Hapi. Hapi then teleported away to avoid the attack, but then launch a powerful dark magic swirl and suck up the swarm and send the swarm away, and it even hit Tubba's heart, sending him to a wall where Luigi jumped up and hammered it down… but the heart didn't give up. It quickly tried to tackle Rean, But Rean use one of his techniques for a counterattack and launch Tubba's Heart flying toward Caspar. Caspar then begin to glow.
"This'll do it!" Caspar smirked and then launch a powerful axe slash and send Tubba's Heart flying with a critical Hit.
Ashe and Claude then begin to glow. "I've got you/Shall we dance!?" Ashe and Claude shout their critical and launch a powerful piercing arrow at the Heart.
"AAAAH! OWOWOWOW! …I'M DEEPLY HURT! I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Tubba's Heart exclaimed and quickly ran away.
"After it!" Sara shout as they ran after the heart. They follow the heart to the long hallway and then back to the well entrance, and the Heart jumped on a springboard and the party did the same… and then they saw Tubba Blubba.
"It's Tubba Blubba's vessel!" Celine exclaimed
"Yes! It's time to reunite!" The heart said and jump to his body and his body gobbled his heart back and reunite themselves. "Oh yeah! Now I'm feeling good! With my Heart and body united, there's no way you'll beat me!"
"We'll see about that! Let's take him down!" Jusis said as Tubba Blubba tried to punch them, but unfortunately for him, they proceeded to quickly defeat him easily. First the slashes, and one spell from Constance then he'd down.
"EEEEEOOOOW! OW! OOOOOW! UNCLE! UUUUNCLE!" He cried as they quickly pulled away from the big brute.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Tubba Blubba's Castle)
"Wait… what? That's it?" Claude asked as Tubba Blubba got back up, but to their surprise, he started tearing up.
"Hold on… why did the battle end so quickly?" Goombario wondered as he had peeked out and used Tattle on him. "Ooooh, he only has 10 HP."
"Wait, seriously?" Hapi blinked.
"That is just embarrassing." Bombette said.
"Oh… Oh… Nooo! I just remember that with my heart and body reunited I'm no longer invincible anymore…" He sobbed. "I only took out my weakness because of my loyalty to Bowser and… and… I'm so sorry for what I've done! I'll release all the Boos I've eaten! Please Forgive me!" He said and proceeded to do so by opening his mouth and all the Boos flew out happy, declaring "FREEDOOOOM!" "I'm actually a really sensitive guy trapped in a huge body. I don't wanna be invincible anymore if it means I have to fight guys like you!" Tubba Blubba started crying uncontrollably and then ran off.
"Well… that was… unexpected." Claude said.
"But… why do I feel bad all of the sudden?" Ashe asked.
"I doubt he was a tough-looking guy… and now I honestly don't have that courage anymore." Caspar added
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Boo Mansion)
"Gwah ha ha ha!" Bow laughed. " Serves you right! And everyone who got eaten has returned safely! Horray! But I guess I'd better tell everyone not to scare old Tubba Blubba anymore. Oh, how we loved to torture the guy by scaring him a lot, he was such a coward." She grinned, causing them to sweatdrop.
"Wait, so this whole thing was YOUR FAULT!" Caspar shout
"We're not sorry for it! Scaring folks is what ghosts do. So Boo on him… Ha!"
"Wow… Just… Wow." Alisa palm face.
"Sheesh, you Boos are evil aren't you?" Celine sighed.
"Come now, not all of us are evil. It's within our nature as ghosts." Bow giggled. "Besides, that was a pretty invigorating experience. I've never felt so full of excitement before! And… Ahem... It was also a good learning experience. I think I'd better experience some more of the outside world."
"Well, that's the same for us since we also want to learn about the outside world." Claude said.
"If you don't mind, I'd love to accompany you on this journey a little longer."
"Sure, welcome aboard." Mario said.
"Aww, thank you… and in return… I will fulfill my end of the deal. Bootler! Snap to it! Come over here!" Bow called out as Bootler appeared with the Skolar card.
"Here I am, Lady Bow." Bootler said.
"Wonderful. He's free now!" Bow said with a grin as they walked towards the card. Once Mario touch it.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - A Kingdom of Chaos)
The Spell that has sealed Skolar begin to break, setting him free as his body no longer transparent.
"So this is the famous Star Spirit…" Constance said in awe. "I can sense incredible power within him!"
"And that prison was also powerful magic… But… Wow." Hapi said.
"Whoa… so this… is a Star Spirit…" Ashe said in awe
"Well… the legends of the Mushroom Kingdom are right in front of me." Claude said.
"Huh. For a star, he does look smart." Caspar said.
"Hello again, Mario, Class VII and their allies. I knew you could do it. I don't know how to thank you." Skolar smiled. "I knew it was the right decision to ask you all to help us. You're all great men and women. Now that I'm free, I can help you." Skolar then he bestow his powers onto the group. "Everyone. I have one bit of bad news."
"What is it?" Mario asked.
"Bowser's life force seems to be getting stronger all the time. Most likely it's the Star Rod that's giving him more power. We're not even sure if he's noticing it or not, but there's no question that it's making him stronger than before. We will have to be more careful in the coming trials."
"And there's also the fact of Ouroboros as well." Rean nodded
"Yes, their cooperation with Bowser is no doubt related to their plans and it involves the Star Rod's power. Unfortunately we don't know what could it be. Ah… I'm sorry to leave, but I must go back to Star Haven. The other Star Spirits are waiting for me there. Oh… and if you could. Please keep it a secret that I got lost in Forever Forest."
"We will." Mario nodded
"Thank you. Farewell!" Skolar smiled and then flew away.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile in Peach's castle...
(Paper Mario ost - Princess in Distress)
"Oh dear. I wonder if the Mario bros, Class VII, and their friends manage to beat Tubba Blubba yet." Alfin sighed. "Being stuck here is making me so bored. Right Eevee?"
"Eva!" Alfin's Eevee nodded
"I wonder, too. I hope they're not too injuried." Elise nodded.
"Oddish." Elise's Oddish cooed.
"Chika." Elise's Chikorita comfort Elise.
"Well no use wondering! Why don't we go out and try to eavedrop again?" Twink suggest.
"Good idea." Peach nodded. "If the Mario bros. Class VII and everyone else managed to beat Tubba Blubba by now. Then there should be a commotion. Let's see what we can find out?"
"Hehehe, it's better then doing nothing." Alfin giggled.
"Let's hope we don't get caught. And Bowser and the others found out about our secret." Elise nodded as they begin to use the secret passage and use the exit to make their way again.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Angry Bowser)
"Please tell me I did NOT just hear that right!" Bowser growled.
Kammy sighed. "I've keep telling you Your Wretchedness. They took down Tubba Blubba."
"That doesn't make any sense!" Crow said. "How does someone defeat someone who's invincible?"
"That's what I want to know!" Bowser exclaimed. "Those rotten teenagers and Mario Bros are really something… Not to mention Byleth and his students are something else too!"
"Yes." Kammy nodded and right on cue, the wall started turning around to reveal Peach, Alfin, Twink and Elise.
Crow hummed. "If I had to wager, I say they must have heard ol' Tubba's weakness. And if they heard of it. Investigate it. Then that's how they managed to beat him and freed the Star Spirit. Guess you have to come up with the next plan and fast. If I remember right. The next one would be in Sky Guy's Toy Box right?"
"Ugh… you're right. We need to prepare for their arrival with their own weakness." Bowser said and thought of something. "Weakness… hmm, what exactly are their weakness?" He wondered, rubbing his chin in thought.
"Hmm… I don't know much about Mario so can't help you there. And I know a bit of Rean and the others. But giving out their weakness puts a bad taste in my mouth."
"Who cares about that? You're the one who betrayed them. If you know what their weakness are, then spill it! Plus, there's also the fact with Byleth. That guy doesn't have a weakness! And he's strong too! They don't call him the Ashen Demon for nothing."
"If I remember right… He is here looking for the students who gotten separated. If we can find one of his students. We can force the Ashen Demon to surrender." Kammy suggest.
"Yes! Good idea! But what about Mario and Class VII?" Bowser asked as he rub his chin.
"I can't say for Mario. But you can ask the Princess about it." Crow turn to Peach, Alfin and Elise as Bowser turned to see them.
"Oh! This isn't the way to the bathroom!" Peach lied. "Um… wrong turn!"
"Oh dear, it seems we stumbled upon something that isn't our concern. Our apologies." Alfin nervous laughed.
"I had a feeling they won't buy it…" Elise sighed.
"This is actually perfect!" Bowser smirked.
"Huh?"
"Peach, I'd like to ask you something."
"What is it?" Peach asked with folded arms.
"We're just discussing something important. What exactly is Mario's weakness?" Bowser asked.
Peach raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking me?"
"I want to see him shake through his bones in terror!" Bowser chuckled devilishly. "Now tell me… what is Mario's weakness?"
Peach smirked. 'Oh, I'm going to have fun with this.' She thought. "Spaghetti."
"Spaghetti?" Crow asked.
"Just last week, he boycotted Spaghetti because it exploded on him through a prank. He though the pasta was nothing more than a bomb and he felt like if he ate it, he would've exploded." She lied.
"Huh… the more you know." Bowser said. "Now, how about green 'stache?"
"Grilled Cheese. He had bad memories of them back when he was little."
"Huh! Just when I thought it couldn't get even more embarrassing for him."
'Wait a second here…' Crow thought, rubbing his chin in suspicion… as Kammy had the same thought.
"Crow! What's the weakness of Class VII?" Bowser asked
"I can't help you there. Rean already conjured about his power. Plus you already got his sister here."
"Hmm. I don't know about his power, whatever that is. But his sister… yes! No, wait, Bad idea. He'll probably just rescue her. Okay, ignoring him for now. What about the others?"
"I can't help you there on that either. The only thing I know about them is what they like."
"Ugh! So only the Mario bros and Byleth we got the weaknesses. Fine, we'll just use those."
"Now now, just hold up a second!" Kammy said. "Are you sure we can even trust her words on this?"
"Oh please, why would I ever lie?" Peach asked.
"Well, you would give more the things he like to encourage him." Crow answered
"I must agree with Crow, Your Evilness."
"Oh please, I trust in her words. So do it!" Bowser command
Kammy sighed. "As you wish. Still. We should provide some extra measurements."
"Then why not ask Duvalie. I'm sure she's bored out of her mind." Crow suggest.
"Duvalie the Swift. Yes. She'll do perfectly. I'll speak with Miss Clotilde about this. But that reminds me, wasn't there another Enforcer who was suppose to be joining you?"
"Yeah, there is this one guy. He's the strongest of all the Enforcers if I recall. However, I'm afraid he's busy back in Erebonia. So if we're lucky, Vita might be able to bring him here."
"Then let's hope whoever this guy is able to come here then. In any event. GUARDS! Bring Princess Peach and the other two back in her room!" Bowser ordered.
"Yes, sir!" The Koopatrol said as they came in and took the Princesses and Elise away.
'I cannot believe Bowser would be gullible.' Alfin thought.
Well when Bowser is desperate to defeat Mario, he'll believe anything Alfin.
