"Zelda, if this is something bad you're covering up, you know you can tell us anything. We're not going to judge you for it...well except for Wendy and Wario but those two insult practically everything in the world so that's not really relevant," Diddy said.

"I'm not covering up anything! This is all just a big misunderstanding! Can we just skip all this nonsense so I can give you the items so you can hurry on over to Gerudo Valley!?" Zelda freaked.

"Not until you tell us why you lied! Zelda, what the hell is going on here? You're not making this situation any better by trying to evade it!" Mario yelled.

"STOP IT! PLEASE, LET'S JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS! I DON'T WANNA DO THIS ANYMORE!" Zelda screeched and ran into the other room. Everyone else looked at each other in confusion and chased after her.

"Zelda, this is quite enough! I demand that you tell us why you lied this instant! If someone is threatening you, you know that that person will go down immediately," Impa said, beginning to get impatient.

Zelda sighed and lowered her head, knowing that she can't avoid this any further. "...Fine. I'll tell you. You were all correct when you said that I lied about going to the library. However, the book that I received...that was the true part. While I was walking down the hall to use the bathroom last night, one of the soldier's headquarters door was open. Right from the hall, I couldn't help but notice that a huge book was open upon a desk not too far from the door. For some reason, curiosity struck me and I had to go check it out. What I read from the pages was everything I told you guys about Kamogenix. While reading it all, I was confused as to why one of the soldiers would have this and then the soldier came back in and caught me reading it. He yelled at me, asking what I was doing there. I was too shocked and even a little scared to respond. He then asked me if I read the book and of course I nodded. He...he then gave such an evil smirk that gave me the chills. He revealed to me that he was the one who revived Kamogenix and if I told anyone about this...he would lead the monster in the Spirit Temple over to here and kill me and everyone else. I was too shocked to respond, almost denying the idea that a simple guard of mine could bring back something so powerful. Then...then...I have no idea what happened after that. Next thing I know, I woke up in my bed the following morning, still very confused but I slowly pieced everything together and that's how I came up with my explanation. I tried looking for this guard after I got up, but he was nowhere to be found and neither was the book, but I got this odd feeling that he was somehow still watching me. But then it dawned on me, I read this story before. My parents told me about this when I was young since I was always curious to know about the history of this land, which is how I was able to remember a lot of it. However, I lied because...I thought it would be too risky to tell you all the truth. I am so sorry, I KNOW it was a stupid thing to do but I didn't want to make things worse just in case!" Zelda cried.

The others made shocked expressions, although a few of them were slightly relieved knowing that she was truly Zelda, and not an imposter.

"Oh my god...we had no idea that that would be your actual reasoning. We are so sorry for ganging up on you like that..." Vivian said.

"So you mean to tell me that some random guard is behind all of this? This still seems very fishy to me..." Bowser added.

"Fishy? You mean as in Sushie?" Watt randomly asked.

"Zelda...direct us to this guard's room right now. I want to investigate this," Impa demanded. Zelda nodded and hurriedly exited out into the hallway with everyone else following her. They ran down the hall for about a minute, came across a set of stairs, went up, and went down another hall for a minute more.

"I'm pretty sure this is it. I remember it being on the second floor," Zelda said.

Impa knocked on the door a few times and waited for a response. None came. So, out of nowhere, Impa kicked the door open which took the others by surprise.

"Damn! That's definitely one way to enter a room!" Kazooie yelled.

Everyone entered the room and saw that it was empty, just like Zelda had described earlier.

"...Are you positive that this is a guard's quarters? This looks more like a mini-storage room if you ask me.." Impa said in confusion.

"Well, I assumed it was. The table is still here along with the mattress that I think I saw last night as well. But then again, I don't think I've ever entered this room before...and if I have, then it was long ago," Zelda answered.

"Either way, we must hurry on over to the Spirit Temple because that's where the guard most likely is at! The Mushroom Force Five will lead the way!" Goombario cheered.

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

Goombario, the 'smarty pants'!

The braniac was in some top security room, trying to deactivate a bomb.

"Okay, based on my mathematical probabilities of deduction and analyzing...if I wanna not make the bomb explode, I have to cut...the blue wire!" He said and then sliced the wire with scissors. The bomb was successfully deactivated.

"YES! 10 points for Team Nerd! Woohoo!" He cheered.

BOOM!

"HUH? What the hell was that!?" He shrieked and walked over to the window. His jaw dropped when he saw that Mushroom City had exploded instead.

"AWW GODDAMNIT!"

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

Flurrie, the 'amazing' actress!

"Sir, can I please borrow some change? My home just got destroyed by Godzilla and I'm desperate to obtain some money for the repairs!" Flurrie cried, not bothering to wear homeless clothes or even look the part.

"Ha, yeah right! I've heard that one before plenty of times! Get a life, granny!" Said the Toad and walked off.

"Mercy me! I could've sworn that would be guaranteed to work! Now how will I ever buy that sapphire necklace?" Flurrie sighed.

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

Koops, the 'smooth' dude!

"Hello there pretty lady, I am a thief, and I'm about to steal your heart!" Koops winked.

"EW, GET AWAY FROM ME YOU PERVERT!" Screamed a female Koopa and pepper sprayed his eyes.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH! SHOOT! I told Kooper numerous times that I knew I would fail at acting cool!" Koops cried.

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

Watt, the 'spy'!

"Alright Watt, here's the plan: You go into the supermarket and look for a guy wearing a black jacket along with a red cap. Keep a close eye on him because I think he's the one who stole my Sailor Moon DVD's!" said a voice from her walkie-talkie.

"Okie dokie artichokie! I'm in the supermarket right now so I'll just...wait a second, I see a sign that says Fruity Pebbles are on sale! OH EM GEE I LOVE LOVE LOVE FRUITY PEBBLES BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE SO FRUITY AND STUFF!" Watt cheered and ran off from her duties.

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

Bombette, the 'ass kicker'!

"Alright, listen here tubby! You better tell me where the hell you hid my rocket launcher or else I swear to god, you are gonna be dinner for the bloopers tonight!" Bombette yelled in interrogation in her room.

The giant teddy bear plushie did not respond.

"Don't even think of giving me that silent treatment! YOU ARE GONNA ANSWER ME RIGHT NOW! THERE IS NO ESCAPING FROM THIS!" Bombette raised her voice.

The teddy bear plushie still didn't respond.

Bombette grabbed it and started shaking it violently. "WHY AREN'T YOU SAYING ANYTHING!? I KNEW YOU TOOK IT YOU SON OF A BITCH! MR. GIRAFFE OVER THERE SAW YOU DO IT, AND I TRUST HIM WITH MY LIFE!" She yelled while pointing to her giraffe plushie.

Still no response.

"THAT'S IT! I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE! RAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Bombette roared and tore out the bear's cotton with her mouth like a wild animal. She then ripped off its head, then its legs, then its arms, making cotton fly out everywhere and such. She then exploded due to so much rage running through her body.

MUSHROOM FORCE FIVE!

"Uhh...can someone tell me what the hell just happened?" Mona asked.

"Oh my god!" Zelda gasped and pointed at something behind everyone. They all looked back to see a guard near the stairs shriek then ran off. "Th-that was him! I recognize his face! He must've been spying on us the entire time...which means he's gonna head to Spirit Temple and bring that thing over here!"

"Crap! Well, we don't have any time to lose so we need to move NOW!" Jojora yelled.

"HOLD ON! I wanna give you a few items like I said I would, it will surely help you out on the journey! I have Fire, Ice, and Light arrows along with a hookshot and the megaton hammer. Who will take them?" Zelda asked.

"I'll take the fire arrows! Fire is my specialty so I should have no problem in handling it!" Mario said and grabbed them.

"Oh, would you consider cheating also a specialty?" Larry snickered.

"I'll take the ice arrows! They are so blue and exotic looking...just like Sonic! I miss him so much!" Amy cried.

"Oh for crying out loud, you better not become an emotional mess everytime you use those things!" Pauline yelled.

"I'm taking the light arrows. There will be no argument over this," Kooper demanded and swiped the item. Everyone looked a bit surprised at this.

"You sure you're not gonna 'accidentally' hit us with one of those because of what we did earlier to you?" Vivian asked.

"Oh hush. I'm trying to be a good sport and make up for what I did! Now can it, goth chick!" Kooper growled.

"Yeah, REALLY great way to start off being a good sport..." Toad rolled his eyes.

"I'll take the hookshot! I've been wanting to use this precious little gem ever since I first laid my eyes on it in Ocarina of Time!" Birdo said.

"Ooh awesome! Do you think you can hookshot me some fruit if we see any on the way to the desert? My stomach feels emptier than a hostess twinkie assembly line!" Yoshi cried.

"And I'll take the Megaton Hammer! It's the perfect thing to use to release all the rage I've built up over the years!" Wario rejoiced.

"Rage from what? Being mad that people called you fat and smelly all the time?" Wendy smirked.

"Can you even hold that thing, Wario? It looks a lot heavier in real life than it does in the game...and we all know you have horrible upper body strength!" Waluigi pointed out.

"CUT THE OVERUSED INSULTS AREADY! I can handle this just fine!" Wario growled and swiped the hammer. However, he screamed as the hammer indeed weighed a lot more than he imagined which made him fall to the floor.

"Er, perhaps I should be the one to use this. I guess this thing really DOES weigh a ton, or close to it at least," DK said while holding and examining the shiny object.

"Excellent, looks like we're all set now. You guys go to the Spirit Temple and stop that man from trying anything more. We'll stay here just in case any more trouble arises. I bid you good luck on your journey and I hope that you'll find Link as well!" Impa bowed.

"And please...do be careful. I don't want something bad to happen to any of you..." Zelda added.

"Will do. Now come on everyone, we have to hurry! We can't mess this up now!" Daisy ordered and everyone ran out the castle while Zelda and Impa waved goodbye to the heros.

The gang ran in and out of castle town as quickly as possible then onto Hyrule Field. The determination to retrieve the gem and save the land was shining bright in all of them surprisingly so everyone refused to stop, even if some of the 'bigger' characters were already getting tired.

"OH SHIT! LOOK AT THE SKY! IT'S GETTING CLOSE TO SUNSET! WE NEED TO HURRY BEFORE THE UNDEAD NAVY ARISES AND SCRATCHES US TILL WE BLEED!" Bombette screamed.

"OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ANYTHING BUT SCRATCHES AND SKELETONS! I HATE THIS OVERLY SPREAD OUT PLACE!" Bowser Jr. whined.

"I see the entrance to Gerudo Valley over there! Come on you guys, we're not that far!" Fire Bro shouted.

"Those ratches skeletons can't read my, can't read my, no they can't read my poker face! The wonders of Hollywood makeup!" Lady SaSa cheered.

"Um, what is that huge yellow thing on the ground over there? Should we go investigate it real quick?" Koops asked while pointing to a strange figure some feet away from them.

"We don't have time to check that out! Keep on running!" Banjo yelled.

"OH YES WE DO! If it's something important, then it can't be ignored! I shall hit it with my arrows of justice and see if it does anything!" Kooper gloated in overconfidence.

"Kooper, shut up and quit trying to, like, be a hero! This isn't the right way to make up for how you acted earlier!" Goombella said. But Kooper ignored her and shot a light arrow at the big yellow thing. The arrow bounced off the thing, but the thing suddenly rose up from the ground and started hovering in the air with its spiky 'leaves'.

"Oh my god...why didn't I see it before!? IT'S A PEAHAT, AND IT'S COMING STRAIGHT FOR US!" Toad shrilled.

And as if matters couldn't get any worse, the sun set, and the wolf howled, indicating it was night time...which also meant that the Stalchild army rose from the ground and headed towards the gang.

"OH CRAPPITY CRAP CRAP! RUN LIKE YOU'VE NEVER RAN IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE!" Luigi squealed and the gang screamed for their lives while running towards the valley. Unfortunately, they couldn't avoid the Stalchildren and Peahat so a bunch of slashing, bitch-slapping, burning, explosions, and swearing were heard along with many tears and sweat. Truly a wondrous night to be remembered.

Some time later, the gang dragged themselves into the valley, all worn out and bruised from the lashings.

"Okay, I've had enough with the dead for one day! Those bastards even ripped off some of my fur!" Banjo cried.

"And that Peahat...I think it wanted to tear off my dress..." Pauline said, wide eyed.

"Whatever, it's all overwith now so let's just keep moving on and pray we don't encounter anymore 'armies' from here on out," Kammy said.

"I see a bridge up ahead! Wow...sure is a skinny bridge...and if you fall, that's an instant death right there..." Dixie gulped.

"Okay let's not pay any attention to that! Let's just cross the bridge and continue onward. Don't even look down you guys, just stay calm and cool," Daisy said and was the first one to cross the bridge.

"Sorry Bowser, but looks like your journey ends here! This bridge can't hold a 1000 pound Koopa!" Waluigi snickered.

"Shut that gigantic hole in your face! There has to be another way around because I am a huge necessity to your guys' success in this journey," Bowser smirked.

"I hate to admit it but he's right. We need him on this quest simply cause he's too powerful to throw away. But how on earth will we get him across? It's too risky having him cross the bridge!" DK said.

Mario snapped his fingers. "I've got it! Bowser, let me grab your tail. This should definitely bring back some memories..."

Bowser widened his eyes. "EH!? What the hell do you think you're gonna do, plumber boy!?"

Mario ignored Bowser and proceeded to grab his tail. He swung him around some, each time around getting faster and faster and faster until Mario let go at the right moment to successfully throw Bowser to the other side. Everyone had stunned yet impressed looks.

"Wow! That was actually...brilliant..." Peach complimented.

"Nice job, bro! Good to know you still haven't forgotten your old tricks!" Luigi said while giving him a thumbs up.

"And it's also good to know that he's acquired a new trick, one that involves cheating on his significant other for some dumpster wench!" Larry yelled.

"Oh give it a rest already! You don't have to shout it out to the world a billion times that he cheated on Peach for me! I GET IT, I'M A SLUT! JUST LET IT GO!" Pauline screamed and stomped across the bridge. There was an awkward silence for some seconds after that.

"Uhh...so who wants to go next on the bridge of doom?" Yoshi spoke.

Everyone else lined up to walk across the bridge and only a few actually walked across it at a time just to make sure it doesn't break due to too much weight.

"Since I have wings, I COULD fly across this but I'd rather take the less obvious option and walk instead," Parakarry said.

"Still yapping on about some hipster nonsense, huh?" Mona groaned.

"Oh...Toad! I see the river below! I'm feeling dizzy...and queasy! I don't wanna throw up again and mess up my newly bought shoes even more!" Toadette cried.

"I know, I know but please Toadette, you have to make it across! I know you can do it! I believe in you!" Toad yelped.

"I believe in you too, Toadette! Just ignore the river, breathe in and out, and keep walking! I promise that nothing bad will happen to you!" Bowser Jr. shouted. Some of the others looked at him confusedly because they've never seen Bowser Jr. so supportive towards someone before.

Toadette did exactly what the koopa told her. She carefully and slowly made the rest of her way across and brightly smiling when she finally made it.

"Wow! I did it...thank you so much Toad...and Bowser Jr! The encouragement really helped," Toadette complimented. Bowser Jr. blushed while Toad and Larry raised an eyebrow at him.

"Like, I'm totally surprised that the bridge wasn't destroyed by Namokenix or whatever the monster's name is. I guess maybe that shows it isn't as powerful as Zelda originally thought? Can we, like, get some theories running around here?" Goombella asked but no one cared to respond.

"Ugh, this bridge is the definition of tacky. Have these people never heard of the word REMODELING? I mean look at it! It has splinters all over and the wood they used is so 18th century!" Jojora complained.

"You do realize that Hyrule isn't as 'forward' as our world is, correct?" Vivian asked.

"Yes I do, which is why I should come up with an organization to modernize Hyrule and make life here much less boring! I'd become not only famous in my world but famous in another world as well! How many people do you know can honestly say that they've been famous in TWO worlds!?" Jojora squealed in excitement.

"Can I be a part of this organization? I could spread my music beyond the world we live in and be officially known as a UNIVERSAL popstar! Plus, it would give me great promo for one of my newest singles called G.U.Y aka Gray Unicorn Yoldeling!" Lady SaSa cheered.

Koops froze in fear as the bridge laid out upon him. He was more scared than Toadette. He actually had a great phobia of heights and it bothered him for years on end, even when he adventured with Mario and friends.

"Th-th-th-this seems very d-d-d-dangerous...i-i-i-it looks like it's about to snap! I can't do this!" Koops shrilled.

"Koops, like with Toadette, you must calm yourself down. Just walk and don't even think about it," Rosalina said.

"I-I don't think I can! This is too much for me!" Koops started to sob.

"Oh just do it already! We need to get this overwith!" Amy yelled and shoved Koops forward. The koopa screamed and fell forward, right off the bridge. He held on to the edge tight with his hands as he was now screaming for his life.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! KOOOOOOOPS!" Goombella screamed and went to go help him up along with a few others. They successfully got him back on and dragged him to the other side. Koops was breathing in and out hard like he was having a panic attack.

"Hey, listen to me! You're okay now. You're gonna be okay. Just relax yourself, we're all here for you, Koops," Fire Bro said while trying to keep him steady. Dixie couldn't help but look and feel shocked at how soothing and kind Fire Bro was compared to the 'old' Fire Bro. It felt it was two completely different people looking at it now. It just seemed so...bizarre.

"Oh my god! I am so sorry Koops, I didn't mean to almost push you off the bridge! I just wanted you to go already!" Amy cried.

"Yeah well you really do a good job at showing how impatient you are! No wonder why Sonic refuses to be with you!" Wendy scolded. Amy frowned and looked away from everyone, scared to see what their reactions would also look like towards her.

The group continued to move on into the main part of the valley. Once they reached the fortress they all dropped their jaws when they saw that the fortress was in ruins. Rubble was everywhere. It was as if a tornado came through there. The eerie silence of the place certainly didn't help things either.

"Oh my stars...I didn't think that thing could do something like this. I really hope nobody here got killed!" Flurrie said.

"As awful of a sight this is, we have to keep moving and defeat Kamogenix before it does anything worse. I believe the way to the Spirit Temple is through that gate over there," Fire Bro pointed forward.

"WAIT A SECOND! Please tell me you Ocarina of Time players remember that past that gate is the Haunted Wasteland, emphasis on HAUNTED!? There's an eternal sandstorm that goes on in there and navigating our way to the temple is going to be very difficult!" Toad yelled.

"Oh, there's no need to worry about that my friend! Rosalina, the queen of space and magic, will help us lead the way...right?" Kazooie smirked and gave a wink, which creeped everyone else out.

"...I suppose it couldn't hurt. Though, my powers might not be enough to stop the sandstorm, but I'll definitely be able to do something that leads the way," Rosalina said almost reluctantly.

"Just do what you need to do, Rosalina. There is no pressure at all," Waluigi smiled.

"Technically there is because the entire world is counting on us to collect these gems and defeat the purple alien," Goombario spoke.

"Wait, we're collecting gems? But I thought we were collecting medallions!" Watt gasped.

"Well in Ocarina of Time you collect...you know what, nevermind, it's not worth it. Let's just go before someone else ruins the mood," Birdo groaned.

"Pauline, take my cap and put it on all the way. It will shield your eyed from the sandstorm!" Mario advised while taking off his iconic red hat and handed it to her.

"Oh! Thanks Mario, but I...um...nevermind," Pauline looked as if she was dying to say something.

"Ugh! Could you two be any more disgusting? You do realize that nobody is here for your stupid PDA's, right?" Bowser grumbled.

"Just let it go, Bowser. In fact, just pretend Mario has been put on a love spell and that this whole 'in love with Pauline' thing isn't real," Daisy said while smirking at Kammy. The witch nervously gulped while Pauline widened her eyes.

The gang entered the Haunted Wasteland and they were immediately met by a wild sandstorm.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH! OH MY GOD! SOMEONE HELP ME! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! NOOOOOOOOOOOO! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKK!" Flurrie screamed.

"What the hell are you screaming about!? It isn't even that bad!" Larry yelled.

"Oh I know that, I was just simply practicing for my upcoming audition for the play 'Toadsworth's Scheme'! I believe I'm going for the role of the helpless and stupid victim!" Flurrie giggled.

"You do realize that play came out three months ago, right? Do you even know what you're doing most of the time?" Mona asked in frustration.

"Of course she does! I saw her in the 'The Thousand Year Door' play a while ago, and she was brilliant in it! She acts out such a wide range of emotions very well! But for some reason, I was the only one clapping for her in the theater," Banjo confessed.

"I think we ALL know why she only received a standing ovation from just one person," Kazooie mumbled.

"Why thank you dearie! You are such a doll, and I imagine that you must wash your fur with the finest of the body shampoo products!" Flurrie blushed.

"Are you going blind, Flurrie? He is a bear, not a doll!" Watt stupidly pointed out.

"I'm gonna go blind if this stupid storm doesn't calm down any second! This is totally messing up my makeup!" Bombette roared.

"Are we even going the right way? Didn't you say you were gonna help us lead the way with your intergalactic powers, Rosalina?" Diddy questioned.

"Yes I did, but I see flags up ahead that are clearly checkpoints for the direction we need to go in. I'll start using it once there's no more left," Rosalina answered.

"Everyone stop! There is a quicksand pit right before us! We're gonna have to find a way to get over it!" Luigi called out.

"I've got an idea! Stand back you guys!" Birdo commanded. She then aimed her hookshot to the wooden flag pole on the other side, released the hook, grappled onto the pole, and 'flew' all the way over.

"Uhh...and how was that suppose to help us, exactly?" Waluigi asked.

"Oh crap, I didn't even think that one through! Sorry!" Birdo cringed.

"Err, I'll take care of this! Let's see here...hmm...okay...I think I know what to do. FREEZE!" Kammy yelled and blasted a wave of blue magic from her wand and it spread out onto the entire pit. The quicksand was now frozen in place. "Excellent, it worked! Now hurry, I don't think it will last for long!"

"Wow thanks Kammy! That was surprisingly very helpful!" Goombella cheered.

"It's no problem. I just want everyone to know that I too can provide useful magic," Kammy cheesily grinned at Daisy.

The gang quickly crossed the pit a few at a time. Even though the quicksand wasn't technically quicksand for now, it was still a struggle to walk across because of there being so much sand.

"Grrrrr! If only I was a few pounds thinner, my weight wouldn't be an issue climbing up this stupid hill! I feel like I'm walking up Mount Everest!" Wario huffed. He was then pushed aside by Charmy who flew right past him.

"Whoopsie! Sorry Charlie!" The bee shrieked.

"YAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Wario cried as he rolled into the lower part of the pit like a bowling ball.

"OH NO! WARIOOOOOO!" Waluigi cried and panicked even more when he saw the quicksand move again.

"Holy crap, someone needs to save him before he goes under!" Toadette cried.

Parakarry came into the rescue and flew in and grabbed Wario by both his hands and tried to get him out of there because of the combination of Wario's weight and the sand pulling down, it was incredibly tough. Jojora had to come in and help since she could float then Flurrie helped too to make sure he would get out safe and sound. The three just barely managed to drag him out of there and onto the main land.

"Whew...that was TOO close of a call! Let's hope that won't ever happen again!" Jojora said in relief.

"Nice going, Parakarry! That was probably the kindest thing you've done so far in the journey!" Bombette applauded.

"What can I say, I can't let anyone die in this mission. Letting people die is starting to become very overdone in our world today," Parakarry said.

Wario got up and dusted himself off. "Ugh...you...YOU BASTARD! YOU COULD'VE KILLED ME RIGHT THERE!" He then charged for the bee but was held back by his brother.

"It was a total accident! I plead not guilty!" Charmy shrieked.

"PLEASE, THAT'S ENOUGH! I'm sorry that you almost died Wario, but please, we need to hurry up so we can get out of this mess already. Save the arguments for when we get to the temple," DK demanded.

The group agreed with DK and quickly continued through the storm, trying to shield their eyes as best as possible while knowing which direction they're going. They kept on walking for a few more minutes until they reached some kind of stone landmark.

"This is it! After this point, there are no more flags that lead the way so do your thang, Rosalina!" Toad said.

"Hey, does anyone know if there's any water at the temple? My hair is full of sand and it's completely messing up my silkiness!" Dixie complained.

"Alright, here goes nothing...oh spirit ball, show us the way to the temple that we seek. Lead us through this stormy desert so that we won't lose our streak!" Rosalina chanted in deep concentration and suddenly a blue light formed out of nowhere right in front of her. Everyone was a bit amazed.

"Wow! Is that you, God?" Yoshi exclaimed.

"Perfect! Now we shall just follow the light and we'll be at the temple in no time!" Rosalina cheered and leaded the group onward.

"Wait a second, what if that light thing is secretly evil and is leading us towards the path of doom!? What if it leads to us into an even bigger quicksand pit and we all die very slowly!? MAN, I KNEW I SHOULD'VE BROUGHT MY ANXIETY PILLS WITH ME!" Bowser Jr. cried.

"Oh get over it already! I've played the dumb game many times and if we get lost we'll just end up at the beginning again! Also, you should...HOLY SHIT, WHAT IS THAT THING!?" Wendy suddenly screamed as a small, green, and spiky enemy rose from the ground and went right past her.

"Oh crap, those things are leevers! EVERYONE, START RUNNING FASTER BEFORE ANOTHER ARMY COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND BEATS THE YOU-KNOW-WHAT OUT OF US!" Toad shrilled.

"Goddamnit, we can never get a break from enemies can we!? Is it that hard to make an area in a game to have no enemies whatsoever!?" Goombario complained.

"DK, USE MEGATON HAMMER!" Yoshi shouted.

DK rolled forward towards a leever and swiftly smashed the thing into pieces, splashing out green blood and guts all over the place.

"Ewwww! It looks like Lime juice!" Goombella cringed.

"The Leever got obliterated! DK gained 9,000 experience points!" Yoshi cheered.

"Seriously, stop. We're not in the Pokemon world anymore," Pauline scowled.

"UM, I COULD USE SOME HELP OVER HERE!" Lady SaSa shrilled as a whole gang of Leevers chased after her, the popstar running slow because of all of her unnecessary accessories on her clothing.

"Don't worry, I'll save you! ELECTRO DASH!" Watt said and unleashed a small thundershock that somehow hit Luigi instead.

"YAAAAAHHHHHHH! HOW THE HECK DID YOU MANAGE TO HIT ME WHEN THOSE THINGS ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOU!?" Luigi screeched.

"Oh I am so sorry about that! I was confused because you and the enemies were both green so I totally couldn't tell you apart for a second!" Watt giggled.

"Congratulations Watt, you are the new Peach," Larry said. Meanwhile, Kammy threw a magic blast at the Leevers, making them all spontaneously combust, and splashing more 'lime juice' all around the area.

"Whew! Thanks so much for that, witchy! Because you are so kind, I'll offer you half off to buy the tickets to see my tour, which means you only have to pay 500 coins now! I promise that it's unconditional! Unconditionally! I will love you, unconditionally!" Lady SaSa annoyingly sang for the millionth time.

The group continued on for a few more minutes. Then, they all noticed that the sandstorm was dying down and something huge in the distance started to become more and more visible. Once the storm had died all the way, they all stared in awe at the humongous architecture before them.

The spirit temple.

EOC.

Next chapter is when the gang goes into the spirit temple and attempt to find this Kamogenix. But of course, it's going to be difficult with all the chaos that's inevitably going to unfold. Will anyone survive the floating pots of doom!?
