(Paper Mario ost - Star Spirits' Request)
"Phew, Ahhh, fresh air!" Muskular sigh with relief. "After being cooped up in there for so long, I could really use some outdoor exercises."
"Oh, I agree! But glad we managed to save you in time too." Raphael cheered
"Thanks, Raphael. Oh and let me introduce myself. The names Muskular. Thanks for saving me, everyone. So now it's my turn to help you. Behold!" Muskular smiled and then give them his power. "Call on me whenever you find yourself in trouble. I'll always come quickly to aid you in battle. Now, I'm going back to my dear old Star Haven."
"You guuuys!" Twink then show up. "Everyone! I got news from he castle!" Then Twink see Muskular. Then he gasp. "Ohmygosh! An honorable Star Spirit! It's so good to meet you!"
"You as well. Hm, you're Twink, correct? The one who recently ascended from Starborn Valley up to Star Haven?" Muskular asked
"Y-Yes! You remember my name and who I am!?" Twink eye sparking.
"Why of course. We stars are like family. It's only natural that we know each other."
"I-I- I'm so touched!"
Muskular chuckled. "No need to fuss, lad. I'm sure you'll go on to do great things! I must take my leave now. Goodbye, everyone!" Muskular said and then he floated away.

(Paper Mario ost - Twink)
"Oh, I can't believe I talk to THE Muskular! An honorable Star Spirit! Ahhh!" Twink Fanboying. Then click. "Ah, sorry for the fanboying. I rarely get a chance, even at Star Haven."
"Hehe. We understand. We were like that before we found out that Vita was an Anguis." Machias said.
"And if you're here… that means you got some news about the next Star Spirits location?" Elliot asked
"Good guess! According to what the princesses and Elise got, the next Star Spirit is at Mt. Lavalava at Lavalava Island!"
"Lavalava what?" Fie asked
"Lavalava Island is another island inhabited by Yoshis." Mario explained. "It's like Yoshis Island, but with an active volcano and tons of Putrid Piranha Plants that spew out poison if you're not careful."
"P-Poison?! Aww, why does Bowser has to pick places that had to be so dangerous!?" Machias frown.
"Where's the fun in just a plain ol' road?" Yuri asked. "You're in a military school aren't you? You got to know how to survive, even stuff like poison-affected areas like a jungle with poisonous plants."
"Yeah… Miss Beatrix taught us that in medical science…"
"Hehehe. Besides, this is getting fun too. So I don't see the problem. But just in case, we should prepare some anti-poison medicine." Sara suggest.
"Okay, guess everything is settled then." Twink giggled. "Good luck to you all. Have fun!" Then Twink took off.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Toad Town)
"So our next journey is an island. Also, what's a Yoshi?" Yuri asked
"Yoshis are dinosaur species and one of our best friends since we were babies." Mario answered
"Yeah, I'm still not convinced how they are dinosaurs." Machias replied.
"And yet you're negative about everything." Jusis sighed.
"I am not!"
Everyone just stares at him.
"Okay, maybe I might be a little-"
"A little? You basically freak out about everything that defies how different our world is from the Mushroom Kingdom." Levi pointed out.
Machias sighed. "I mean can you blame me? I mean coming here was educational, don't get me wrong. I just don't see the picture of it all. But I'm in no position to complain…"
"In any event, how do we reach Lavalava island?" Laura asked. "And I assume you'll also be joining us?"
"Of course, The Ashen Wolves will join you guys. But I'm staying out here. Balthus, Alsin, feel free to enter Byleth's pocket." Yuri said.
"If you say so Yuri. Come on moron." Alsin chuckled.
"All right- hey!" Balthus exclaimed before jumping into Byleth's pocket. "Oh so this is what it feels like to be inside one."
"Welcome to the club." Claude said.
"Ohh… I honestly don't want to go… but… then again, I did get to see some animals and plants I've never seen before. I'm quite curious about Lavalava Island too." Bernadetta hummed
"Then it sounds like you made up your mind." Yuri said.
"Hehehe. I'm glad we were able to solve the problems that have been going around Toad Town too." Mercedes smiled. "Still, I'm also coming alone. I'm worried about Annette and the others. I hope they're all right."
"Yeah... I hope she's okay too." Elliot nodded
"Yeah, I'm worried about the others as well. So how will we get to Lava island?" Raphael asked
"Lavalava Island." Levi corrected him. "If I make a wager. I say we head to the pier."
"Right. Let's be off. And it's possible we might find more of the others somewhere too." Byleth nodded
"Then let's make our way to the pier." Sara chuckled.
"Heeey. Look who it is." A voice called out to them.
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Respite and Sunshine.)
And then approached this to the group is Sylvain and Marianne.
"Sylvain, and Marianne! There you both are." Byleth said. "Where were you both?"
Well… I was… out in Pleasant Path with some animals." Marianne answered
"You were there? But I don't think we have seen you from before."
"I don't know when this happened… but I was elsewhere."
"And as for me. I was dealing with some problems from those Shy Guys. But before all that. I was just exploring all over Toad Town when we were separated." Sylvain answered. "I met up with Marianne and we were walking together. And look who we stumped upon. Professor Byleth, Mercedes, Raphael, Yuri and Bernadetta. And Class VII. Nice to see you lovely ladies again." Sylvain wink at the girls. "I'm honestly jealous Professor Byleth. You get to surround yourself with such fine and lovely ladies that you didn't invite me?"
"Hey, what about us?" Machias pouted
"Sylvain, restrain your-" "Of all the things you've been doing, you decided to flirt now?" Ingrid responds as she hops out of Byleht's pocket.
"Gah! Ingrid! Where did you come from?" Sylvain exclaimed
"I have been with Professor Byleth this whole time with an interesting mechanism. So tell me, were you flirting with every girl in town?"
"Uh, no! It's true I was looking everywhere for you guys. And then those Shy Guys show up and caused trouble and I got sidetracked."
"And those sidetracks are?"
"All right, enough. Regardless, it's good to see you still. Actually, since you guys are here. I gonna ask if you have seen anyone else." Byleth said.
"I'm sorry Professor. I was mostly out of town. So I can't say I seen anyone…." Marianne said.
"And as for me. I haven't seen anyone either." Sylvain replied.
"I see… well at any rate. May I ask that you join us." Byleth said.
"Sure but where are we going?"
One explanation later...
"Oh my. So you're going all over the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue the Star Spirits?" Marianne asked as she look surprised.
"That's right. And also search for everyone else who got separate." Byleth nodded
"Well since you already got almost everyone, I suppose I can tag along." Sylvain said.
"I'm…. I'm not so sure if I'll be much help…" Marianne said.
"Nonsense Marianne. I think you'll help us greatly. Our next journey is to adventure to Lavalava island. Home to Yoshis." Byleth smiled
"Oh, well if you say so Professor Byleth."
"Right, shall we be off to the pier?" Byleth asked
"Yep. Let's go." Sara nodded
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Toad Town)
Mercedes and Raphael enter Byleth's pocket as they switch with Marianne and Sylvain. They begin to walk to the pier where they bumped into Kolorado.
"Oh look, it's Professor Kolorado." Elliot said.
"Why hello dear chaps… and others… What brings you all here?" Kolorado asked as they explained it. "Ah! Perfect… I was about to go on that ship to Lavalava Island myself."
"Oh? Whatever for?" Machias asked.
"To solve a diabolical mystery of course. It would seem that there is an ancient treasure waiting in the volcanic cave."
"Hold up, you're gonna explode the cave of a volcano? Isn't that dangerous? I mean it's really hot in there and not to mention lava." Sylvain asked
"I can't deny that but adventures build up that excitement. After all, I am an explorer and archaeologist."
"Well I guess, but try not to get yourself killed."
"Is that you Professor?" A voice called out and then approach them was Petra.
"Oh, Petra, there you are." Byleth said.
"It is so good to be seeing you." Petra smiled. "What brings you all here in the Pier?" Petra asked
One explanation later...
"I remember what happened back in Lady Peach's castle and the fiend we fought. Bowser imprisons celestial spirits and you are on adventuring to save them?" Petra asked
"That's right. Actually, I was hoping we run into you. You see, we're off to Lavalava island. That is where the next Star Spirit is there." Byleth nodded
"An island we are adventuring to next? I see. It must be fate." Petra smiled. "Very well Professor Byleth. I am feeling the excitement."
"In that case, Petra can take my place! Oh and I can come out when I see some interesting plants. So bye!" Bernadetta replied and jump into Byleth's pocket.
"Bernadetta jump into Professor Byleth's pocket? Is this magic?" Petra asked in surprise.
"I'll explain it later. Right now, we need to find a way to reach Lavalava island." Byleth said
"There isn't appeared to be shipped. So what can we do?" Gaius asked
"We could ask one of the folks here and see if we can send us a ship." Yuri suggest. Then suddenly, something emerged from the water and breached out of the water. A humongous Blue Whale… and it was a Wailord, to boot.
"Waaaaail!" Wailord cried.
"Whoa! What the heck?!" Sylvain exclaimed.
"Is that… a whale?" Petra asked in shock.
"Oh, it's a Wailord. Convenient!" Luigi said.
"I almost mistook it for a water spirit." Petra said
"Wailord. Can you take us to Lavalava island please?" Mario asked the pokemon
"Waaaail." Wailord cried with a nod and then stink down for anyone to go on its head.
"Thank you Wailord." Marianne smiled.
"Waaail." Wailord cried with a smile underneath the water.
"Wow. I know I've ridden a horse but never on top of a whale before." Sylvain said as he and everyone hop on.
The Wailord begin to journey across the water and head to Lavalava island.
A few minutes later...
(Paper Mario ost- Yoshi's Village Beach)
"Waaaaail!" Wailord cried as it stopped at the beach as they all hopped off.
"Thank you Wailord." Marianne petting the Wailord waved at it.
"Wail!" Wailord seemed to smile and went back underwater.
"So this is Lavalava island?" Petra asked "It almost reminded me of Brigid."
"I think this is the first time we all journey to an island." Sylvain said. "Still, an Island is full of things that haven't been in Fodlan soil. Same for the Mushroom Kingdom I guess. We should be careful."
"And look over there." Gaius pointed in the direction. "That must be Mt. Lavalava." Gaius pointed at the volcano.
"ONWARD!" Kolorado yelled as he ran off.
"Hey wait up!" Sylvain exclaimed. "That man is going to get himself killed…"
"Sadly, that's true." Sara sighed.
The group begin to walk to their adventure as they begin to chat among themselves. when they heard Kolorado screaming as they ran to check on him… only to see that he was being attacked by a Jungle Fuzzy.
"Help! I'm being attacked by a creature!"
"By a Fuzzy, no less." Mario muttered.
"What is a Fuzzy?" Petra asked
"Very mischief monsters. Some can even drain life from you." Sara answered
"A mischief monster. I will be remembering this."
"Meeyork!" The Jungle Fuzzy cried before splitting into two.
"AAAH! IT MULTIPLIED!" Kororado exclaimed
"They can also create more? I am having amazement but extreme caution of them. They must be dealt with." Petra said and then draw out her sword with a swift speed and slice the Fuzzies as they disappeared
"Thank you!" Kolorado said.
"You are welcome. But I must tell you to be cautious of fuzzies." Petra advised.
"Yes, quite right. Let us be off, shall we?"
Then they went off to adventure and then arrived at Yoshi Village.
"We have arrived at a village." Petra said the obvious.
"And… are those the Yoshi's you mention?" Sylvain asked seeing the Yoshis wandering around while a bunch of Yoshis looked at them.
"They look adorable." Marianne smiled
"So these Yoshis are native to the island?" Petra asked
"Yep. But this is one of the Yoshi islands." Mario answered
"I am having a fun time as they say. I wonder if the Yoshis will welcome us."
It was then that a big fat pudgy Yoshi approached the gang and then took one look at Mario with a smile. "Mario! It's been a while."
Mario chuckled. "I forgot to mention that this particular Yoshi learned how to talk human."
"I even taught it to my friends here." The Yoshi Chieftain explained. "Not every Yoshi gets the ability to talk human, but it's what makes this island unique!"
"I see. Are you the chief of the Yoshis?" Petra asked.
"That's correct. What has been you to the humble island?"
"We actually need some help. We're on a journey to head to Mt. Lavalava Do you know how we can reach the volcano?" Rean asked
"Hmm… The entrance to the volcano is in the jungle, but it's very difficult to get to it." The chieftain said. "The volcano has awakened, as well. I think it may be too dangerous for you all to go there. But if you are planning to go, then I suggest you be careful. There are a lot of Putrid Piranha Plants and Jungle Fuzzies there. We Yoshis tend to stay away from Jade Jungle." "
"I see. Thank you for the advise. We'll make a note of that." Sara nodded
"Bernadetta, we're coming to the jungle. Are you ready?" Byleth asked
"Coming!" Bernadetta said and then she jump out of Byleth's pocket and then the group begin to head into Jade Jungle
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Jade Jungle)
"Whoooa. So many plants I've never seen before!" Bernadetta cheered.
"And we are in the jungle. Many dangers around us." Petra said.
"Well, I'm glad you two are enjoying yourselves." Sylvain said.
"We should be careful… If you need healing, I can help you with that." Marianne said.
"You know. Now that I think about it. Shouldn't Mr. Kolorado be with us for his sake?" Laura asked
"YAAAAAAAAARGH! HEEEEEEEEELP!" Kolorado's voice cried out.
"And there it is." Sara said as everyone sweatdrop. The Party hurried to find Kolordo and then found him being bunked in the head by Spear Guy.
"What the- those guys are here?" Millium asked
"Those are Spear Guys. I guess some of the Shy Guys are native to this land. But they're very hostile." Mario said.
"I have understanding. But we must save Mr. Kolorado." Petra stated as she and some of the others charge in and then took care of the Spear Guys. "Are you all right Mr. Kolorado?"
"Oh, yes. I'm perfectly fine thanks to you."
"Kolorado, I understand you're excited but please be more careful. The jungle is a dangerous place. There are predators everywhere, hiding in nature. It would be wise for you to stick with us." Sara advised.
"I suppose you're right. All right then, let us be off, to adventure!" He exclaimed as they walked over to Mt. Lavalava and as they got to the base of the volcano, they saw there was no way into it.
"So this is the volcano entrance." Millium said. "Me and Lammy can just fly it."
"But what about the rest of us?" Sylvain asked. "And I'm kinda not interested in going through a volcano with intense heat temperate."
Petra hummed.
"Is something wrong, Petra?" Marianne asked
"I sense an evil presence within the volcano. And Flame Spirit is very angry at it." Petra answered
"W-What do you mean by that?" Bernadetta gulped.
"Then it seems that one of Bowser's minions is occupying it. And if my hunch is right. Then they must also be responsible for the volcano." Yuri said.
"Sheesh… Bowser has so many henchmen with different capabilities that it's terrifying." Levi muttered
"And I feel like there's a sinister theme going on when we reach the volcano as well." Millium added
"What are you talking about?" Jusis sighed.
"Still, our journey is to go through the volcano." Laura replied.
"And unfortunately, there isn't any path that can take us there." Celine pointed out.
"You're right. There has to be some way." Emma nodded.
"We should find another way around." Alisa said.
"I have an agreement. The Mushroom Kingdom has many spirits here as well." Petra nodded. "It almost feels like I'm back in Brigid."
"Are you feeling homesick Petra?" Elliot asked
"No. Let us return to the village of the Yoshis. Maybe the village chief may be able to guide us. Or the Forest Spirits can guide me."
"Sounds like a plan. Let's go everyone." Sara nodded
The Party begin to return back to the village. But when they reenter the village… all the Yoshis were panicking.
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario ost - Search for the Fearsome 5)
"What's going on?" Luigi asked.
"The children are mission!" The Cheiftein answered
"WHAT!?" The group exclaimed.
"They secretly slipped off into the jungle. They don't know its danger! We must get them back here safely!"
"Then let us help." Rean said.
"Oh thank you so much! I'll do my best to calm the Yoshis. Please find the children before anything happens to them!"
"The children are the young Yoshis correct?" Marianne asked.
"Yes. They're a mischief bunch called the Fearsome Five. Those children lever listen… Especially when we told them a thousand time!"
"Then let us be off. But the jungle has many danger awaits." Petra said.
The group nodded and then headed to the Jungle once more.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Paper Mario ost - Jade Jungle)
As they arrived, they begin to make their way and be careful. Petra senses monsters in the bushes and then take them out. Then they begin looking in a different area.
"Hey, you!"
"Aah!" Bernadetta panicked. "Who said that?!"
"Up here!"
The group look in the direction of the voice and then see a purple Cheep Cheep on the tree.
"Is that… a Cheep Cheep?" Fie asked
"A… Cheep Cheep? Is that a name of a fish?" Petra asked
"I think it's species. How did you get up in the tree?" Sylvain asked
"Those rascals little Yoshis trick me as I was chasing them. They led me into a trap… and you know the rest." She answered
"I see. Then please wait." Petra said as she zoom hop into the tree and then pick the Cheep Cheep up, and then hope down and placed the Cheep Cheep on the ground.
"Oh thank you so much! You're a skilled jumper." The Cheep Cheep praised
"Was that a praise? Thank you. Where I am from, there are many trees and jungles. So I learn to jump, climb and many ways to survive." Petra smiled
"I see. Well, those survival skills truly help you out in the most difficult situations. My name is Sushi. Please to meet you all."
"The same for us as well. But we should focus on finding the little Yoshis before anything bad happening to them. Rean said.
"Agreed. They don't know how dangerous the jungle has. I have to find them before they get in too deep! Considering we're in a big group now. Let's split up." Sushi suggest
"Sounds like a plan. Okay, let's split up into groups and find those Yoshis" Rean nodded
The group begin to split up into groups of five to search for the young Yoshis as they departed.
Green Yoshi is Watts, Mario, Elliot, Alisa, Millium, and Sushi
"The jungle is going to be difficult." Elliot said as they walked/floated around.
"…Wait, did you hear that?" Alisa asked.
"Huh?" Millium turned to her as they closed their eyes, listening to the sound of a wailing Yoshi. "Oh, I hear it! Is that a cry of a baby Yoshi?"
"It probably is!" Watt said and looked up from a ledge. "And I think it's coming from up there!"
"Then let us be off!" Sushi requested as Millium summoned Airgetlam and she floated up and carrying Sushi. Then carry next were Elliot and Alisa while Mario use the spinning floater to get up top. There they a warp pipe as they hopped in… only to come into a dark cave.
"Whoa, it's dark in here!" Millium exclaimed.
"Not for long!" Watt said and lit herself up to light the area, and they saw the green Yoshi.
"There you are!" Sushi said as she hop over to the baby gently Yoshi.
"S-Sushi is that you?"
"Yes, it's me. You're in a lot of trouble young one. Now, what happened?"
"Well, I found this flower that spins around and I thought it was way cool so I got on it. And then I spun around and around and then I was up in the air and flying and then I ended up here! I didn't know how I got here. It was so dark… and scary… and I couldn't find a way out."
"Aww, it's okay little guy." Elliot smiled as he gently pick up the Yoshi. "But don't worry, we're here now. Your family is worried sick. Let's go home, okay?"
"Okay." The baby Yoshi nodded
"Aww, He's so adorable." Alisa cooed.
Blue Yoshi: Jusis, Laura
"Have you found the little one?" Jusis asked Laura.
"Unfortunately no." Laura answered. "Wait." Laura then heard the cry of a baby Yoshi. "I think I hear a cry."
"It must be the baby Yoshi. Let's hurry!" Jusis stated and then he and Laura ran directly towards the cry. Then they see the baby Yoshi on the other side of the water. "It's on the other side. But how do we get across?" Jusis asked
"Hmm? What's this?" Laura asked as she step on the odd log and then it suddenly turn into a bridge to get across. "I guess it must be a switch. We can press on."
Then Laura and Jusis approached the baby Yoshi.
"There you are, are you hurt?" Jusis asked
"No. I was playing hide and seek with the others. I was "it". I tried to find everyone else but I couldn't find them. I was wandering around and again and again until I got lost." The Blue baby Yoshi explain.
"I see. But you shouldn't journey into the jungle." Jusis said as he gently pick him off. "It's far too dangerous. There are scary things behind it. Now come along back to the village. We'll find the rest of your friend in the jungle."
"Okay. Thank you for finding me."
Yellow Yoshi is Petra, Bernadetta, Machias, Fie,
"Wooow. Look at that plant over there. And there. Ooh. Look at that one." Bernadetta giggled as she look at the jungle.
"You sure like plants don't you?" Machias asked
"Of course. Especially carnivorous ones. They're my favorite."
"But aren't they dangerous?" Fie asked
"Well yes?"
"Shh." Petra said and then she close her eyes. "I hear a cry. It must be the baby of the Yoshi."
"Then we should hurry." Fie stated,
They begin to rush towards the cry, They found the baby yellow Yoshi, however, it's being attacked by the Putrid Piranha Plant.
"Oh crap! He's being attacked!" Machias exclaimed
"Wow! Look at that plant!" Bernadetta cooed
"This isn't the time to praise them!"
Fie and Petra zoomed and charge in and then destroyed the Putrid Piranha Plant.
"Nice. You got good speed." Fie comment.
"I have much the same for you. You are impressive. Are you a hunter?" Petra asked
"Not a hunter, but I was a jaeger."
"What is this jaeger?"
"Let's focus on the topic here." Machias palm face before turning to the baby Yoshi. "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yes. Those plants were scary. I wanna go home…"
"It is okay little one." Petra gentle pick him up. "We shall return to your village."
Purple Yoshi is Gaius, Marianne, Sara, Emma and Celine
"I wonder where did the little Yoshi wander off?" Gaius wondered as they wandered around while taking care of the occasional Jungle Fuzzy and Spear Guy… and then they heard snoring.
"Is someone asleep?" Emma wondered as they looked around as they got near the tree… and then Celine looked up.
"Look, up there!" Celine said as the others look up and see the baby Yoshi asleep.
"Aww, the little guy is sleeping on a tree." Sara chuckled.
"He looks peaceful asleep." Marianne smiled.
"We should bring him down through." Gaius suggest.
"Let me." Sara said as she hop onto the tree, pick up the Yoshi who is still asleep and jump down.
"Hehe. He look so adorable when he's asleep." Marianne giggled.
"And that takes care of one of them." Sara said as they nodded.
Red Yoshi is Bow, Luigi, Byleth, Yuri and Sylvain.
"Are you sure we'll find the little Yoshi this way?" Luigi asked.
"Well, they have to be somewhere, right?" Sylvain asked
"Wait. Shush!" Bow said as she floated over and the others follow her.
"I hear something!" Byleth said as he walked over, but as they got to some bushes, they snapped back at them, turning into M. Bushes. "Whoa!" Byleth yelped.
"Bush monsters now?" Yuri exclaimed as they proceeded to fight the M. Bushes before defeating them.. and then they went over to another bush and found the Yoshi.
"Ah, there you are, you little scamp" Yuri said.
"Oh, thank you for finding me! I was playing hide and seek when those M. Bushes trapped me!" Said the Red Yoshi
"So those are what they call?" Sylvain asked as he eyebrow.
"Yep."
"I'm we're glad you weren't hurt. Let's head back, okay?" Byleth said as he gentle pick him up.
"Okay! You look pretty." The red Yoshi comment.
Byleth chuckled as he light blushed.
"Aww, he's blushing." Yuri chuckled and then the group begin to head back.
Once everyone was reunited...
(Paper Mario ost - Yoshi's Village Beach)
"And that's the last of them." Rean said as the baby Yoshis reunited with the adult Yoshis.
"I'm going to miss them." Marianne said.
"Don't worry Marianne. If we got the time, I can take us to Smash Mansion and you can meet a Yoshi and other pokemon there." Byleth smiled
"Really, professor? Thank you."
"And we must thank you for bringing the children back." The Chieftain smiled. "I feel that no expression of our gratitude could be enough. You still wish to go to Mt. Lavalava, right?" The chieftain asked when they answered with a nod. "Very well. I know of another way you can reach it. Please follow me." The chieftain said and the group follow him to the raven statue as he begin to thinker with it. "Now where is it? I'm pretty sure it's around here. Aha!" Then he pull out a jade statue of a raven.
"Whoa. That's one fine statue." Sara said.
"Is that a jade statue?" Jusis asked
"Correct. Whenever events beyond our control occur on this island, we ask the help of Raphael the Raven, the island's master. If there's anyone who can help you reach the volcano, it would be him. He lives in the depth of this island."
"A raven is name Raphael, huh?" Sylvain title his head.
"Cool! I didn't know my name was popular here!" Raphael said In Byleth's pocket.
"I am having excitement. The Raven statue is like the symbol of the guardian or spirit. It reminded me of Bridget." Petra smiled. "So the Jade Statue will lead us to the island's guardian?"
"That's correct. If you place that Jade Raven into the statue of Raphael, the way into the depths of the jungle will appear." The chieftain answered "I haven't seen Raphael since I was a young Yoshi. I remember that it was incredibly difficult to find him because the jungle's trees and scrubs covered the way.
"I have understanding. The jungle is a difficult place to travel through. But I have courage we will find the Island master."
"I see. Then be careful on your way. I'm sure you'll find the path. May all your wishes come true."
"Now wait just one minute. You all have one heck of a story behind you if you're planning on seeing the island guardian." Sushi said. "Why would you want to go into Mt. Lavalava in the first place? It's VERY hot and VERY dangerous in there! If you aren't EXTREMELY careful AND lucky, you'll be roasted to a golden brown."
"It's a long story. You see-." Mario then explain to Sushi about their reason.
"Oh my. That's quite the story. Journey to the world to save the princess. Oh, such a story touch my heart. If that's the case, then I shall help you and join you on your journey. And taking care of others is one of my favorite things to do."
"Then we'll be glad to have you on board." Sara chuckled. "I could use an extra hand to watch over the kids."
"You're making it sound like we're a bunch of mischief students." Jusis said. "Then again, we all know one."
"Why are you looking at me? I'm a little angel." Millium pouted
"Would an angel really cause us trouble with their enthusiastic?"
"In any event, I'll just be making some room!" Watt said and hopped into the pocket.
"Whoa, incoming!" Goombario said.
"Whoa, nice pocket!" Watt said.
"It's our thing." Bombette said.
"You're not jumping in there?" Sushie asked.
"Good heavens, no! I'm not a savage!" Bow said.
"I still don't get how is that savage." Levi sweatdrop.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming Jade Jungle)
They went back into Jade Jungle where they eventually found the statue and then put it in, where the statue moved to reveal a pathway as they went deeper… and eventually, they found a humongous tree.
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario ost - Raphael the Raven)
"Holy crap!" Machias yelled. "That's a huge tree!"
"I am having amazement. I never expected to encounter a large tree." Petra said.
"And do we have to climb up next? Yeah, I think my work here is done. Carry on!" Bernadetta said and jump into Byleth's pocket.
Did you had fun, Bernadetta?" Edelgard asked
"Well I seen some interesting plants and even a baby Yoshi, so yes."
"Welp kids. We're in for a long walk now. So brace yourself and start climbing." Sara chuckled.
A few minutes later...
By the time the party arrived at the top, most of the party collapsed from exhaustion. Some of them like Rean, Levi, Laura, Petra, Byleth, Yuri and Sara feel fine.
"Boy, you kids are tired." Sara said.
"Well, we have never done anything like this before…" Elliot panted. "Man, that was so hard…"
"How come you guys aren't affected by this?" Alisa panted.
"I'm guessing it has something to do with me being raise in the mountain. I have been training there most of it so this feels nothing." Rean shrug.
"As for me, my stamina has improved due to my training in the swimming club and the Arseid school." Laura answered.
"The rest of us have high stamina through training. So that answers that. Although one particular was using a different method." Sara said as the party turn to Millium who's using Airgetlam.
"Oh come on now. Climbing all the way up here is super long and I'll get tired." Millium exclaimed
"Oh like we can't join the ride?" Machias muttered
"Oh?"
The group turn to the direction and see a giant raven.
"Now this is a surprise. It has been quite some time since someone visit me." The giant raven said.
"I've never seen a large raven like this before." Petra said. "Are you the master of the island, Raphael the Raven?"
"Yes. I am Raphael the Raven. I am the Master of this island. If you have any problem at all, just let me know. And since you came a long way, what is to be the problem?"
"You see. We need help getting into Mt. Lavalava. But we've been having problem reaching it." Mario explain.
"I see. Sure I'll help. To be honest, I knew the rest of you would come. I got a message from the Star and they alerted me you'll come."
"That's convenient." Luigi said.
"Indeed. Now, I know of a way you can get into the volcano. CAW CAAAAAAAAAW!" He cawed as several Ravens flew over with nothing but their… feet of all things.
"How are the raven flying with their feet? Are they a different breed?" Petra asked
"The Mushroom Kingdom truly have such interesting animals…" Marianne nodded
"Don't you love it?" Millium giggled.
"Alright, let me show you the way." Raphael said as he went down and the other ravens went down from their current location.
"Please tell me we're not gonna jump." Alisa gulped. "Levi, can I ask you for a favor."
"On it." Levi sweatdrop and then he first jump and then use wind magic and levitated into the air then created an elevator of wind. "All aboard."
"I am having amazement for Levi. It's almost like he's a wind spirit." Petra said as she hop onto the wind elevator.
"I feel like he's just trying to one-up the witches." Celine said.
"It's not a competition Celine." Emma nervous laughed. "Our spell crafts are different you know."
"And how come you didn't use this to reach the top?" Machias asked.
"Maybe because you needed the exercise?" Levi answered
"He's not wrong. You all need experience in adventures like this." Sara nodded.
"I agree. You gain some new strength because of it." Laura nodded
"I did feel muscles from my leg." Elliot said.
"Welp, we're off." Levi said as he use his magic and descend slowly. Once they reach the ground. Raphael stomp his food to the ground and the root string up and he guided them to their destination point
Then the ravens begin to jump into the tree and then they begin to build something.
"What in blazes?" Kolorado appeared out of nowhere.
"Where did you come from!?" Millium exclaimed
"Seriously!" Luigi exclaimed
"All done." One of the ravens said as they built the zip line for the party to use.
"All right. You can reach the volcano now." Raphael said.
"That was oddly fast, but then again, this is good news." Fie smiled. "Now we can enter the volcano."
"That one part I really don't like." Sylvain groaned. "I can't stand hot temperature."
"Why do you hate the hot temperature?" Petra asked
"I grew up in the cold. So it's not easy dealing with hot temperature."
"And with any event, I shan't delay another moment! The ancient treasures are calling me! Onward!" Kolorado stated as he begin to use the zip line first before running into the volcano after he landed.
"He's gonna die, isn't he?" Fie asked bluntly.
"Yeah." Everyone answered with a sweatdrop.
"He's bold, I'll give him that. Bold and certifiably nuts… But enough about that! You should be on your way now. Good luck." Raphael said and then he left.
"Welp, here comes the journey of entering a volcano… and to make sure that Kolorado doesn't kill himself." Yuri sighed.
"If he somehow survive this, I'll be shocked." Sara sighed as she and the party used the zip line and got off safely and then they went into the volcano.
And the island adventure they go. Huh... how many islands or volcanoes have they gone through now?
