The gang all ran up to the very top of the tower and saw Grunty floating in mid-air on her broomstick.

"Mweeheehee! You've already found out the gem in the quiz room was a fake, I assume? I have the real one here in my pocket as I sit on this splintery broom!" Grunty said.

"So, I guess you're not gonna give it to us without a fight, right?" Mario asked.

"Very much so. Come on, show me what you're made of and let's roll!" Grunty smirked and got out her wand.

"Stand back everyone! I can handle this wench with my own magic! It would be impossible for all of us to attack her just from the ground!" Kammy instructed.

"I shall aid you, and I won't take no for an answer! It's too dangerous for you to take her on alone!" Rosalina offered and stood by her side. Kammy nodded without any reluctance and got her wand out.

"Well then, shall we start or sit here and mumble? LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!" Grunty screeched.

"Hey! That's my line!" Yoshi shouted.

Grunty shot out a yellow ray blast from her wand that shot into the center of the ground, causing an earthquake of sorts, making everyone fall over.

"YOW! Urgh…okay, I'm gonna have to get into the dark magics then if I want a clear shot at winning!" Kammy said to herself and got up. "CULTRIS!"

A bunch of knives poofed from thin air and they all shot at Grunty.

"DEFLECT!" Grunty yelled, waved her left arm quickly, and the knives suddenly shot back towards the group. Everyone screamed and looked away.

"EVANESCUNT!" Rosalina yelled, extending her arms out and the knives all disappeared in a puff of smoke right before they reached the group.

"MASSA!" Kammy waved her wand around and a huge, yellow block that looked like the ones from Paper Mario formed fully. Kammy then magically threw the block towards Grunty, but Grunty swung her arm at the block as soon as it reached her, destroying it into pieces.

"WHAT!? H-how did she do that so easily?" Kooper asked in fright.

"Alright, I'm gonna have to do this now! TIMESLOW!" Daisy shouted, then let out a shriek as she fell down due to her body feeling drained from the spell. Grunty was floating in slow motion now, allowing for better attack.

Rosalina put her hands out in front of her like she was holding a basketball, and then a blue ball of electric light slowly formed out of thin air into her hands. As soon as it was big enough, Rosalina threw the electric ball at Grunty. It hit and zapped her at the same time, knocking her off her broomstick to the ground. Everyone rejoiced in victory.

"Wow…you did amazing with that, Rosalina! You are a true savior, you know that? I even think you already defeated her!" Waluigi cheered and gave her a hug.

"Well, hey! Don't give me all the credit! Daisy and Kammy helped as well!" Rosalina blushed.

"You really thought that it would be that easy? PAH! You morons are the worst kind of sleazy!" Grunty called out from the air, behind everyone else. Everyone turned around and screamed when they saw Grunty floating in the air on her broomstick.

"WHAT THE HELL!? B-BUT WE JUST SAW THE SNOT GET KNOCKED OUT OF YOU!" Wario gasped.

"It's called a clone, dummies! My new magic is the exact opposite of crummy!" Grunty laughed.

"And you fools thought it would be very simple to destroy me just like in those stupid video games, huh? Oh what a shame!" another grunty cloned teased from the right, turning everyone's attention to her now.

"Defeat the real Grunty and all of us will be gone! Now let's get started again cause I'm about to yawn!" another Grunty clone said from behind them, making everyone turn again.

"Holy shit…there's three of them…that's triple the annoyance and grossness!" Kazooie gagged.

"Kammy…wh-what do we do? There's two of us here that can do magic but three of them…I can't think of a spell that will attack all of them at once…and there's the fact that Grunty knows how to deflect and protect herself from the spells…" Rosalina whispered in worry.

"Just keep your cool and do what you can to defeat this ugly bitch. LET'S GO!" Kammy suddenly screamed and shot a blue ray blast towards one of the Grunty clones. She managed to evade it and shot a yellow blast from her wand to Kammy. The koopa witch deflected the blast with her wand and made it go into a different direction away from anyone else.

"C'mon you guys! We need to get back inside! We have to let them deal with this, there's nothing the rest of us can do right now!" Diddy commanded and began to lead everyone back down into the building.

"No no no! I don't think so! BACK!" yelled a Grunty clone and everyone was suddenly thrown backwards and fell into and onto each other, away from the entrance to the inside.

"Grrrrr! Wait…I got it! LEVITATE!" Rosalina spoke while grabbing Kammy's shoulder and the two suddenly floated in the air.

"Woah! Wh-what did you just do!?" Kammy shrieked.

"I just now remembered it. It's a spell that will allow us to float and fly in the air, however, it's only temporary so we have to make good use of it!" Rosalina answered. Kammy nodded, then flew off towards one of the Grunty clones.

"Mweeheehee! Oh, so you can fly now? Too bad it won't help you anyhow!" Grunty cackled and shot another beam from her wand, but Kammy swiftly avoided it and shot a beam back, successfully hitting the hag and knocking her back a bit.

"YOWCH! That hurt me quite a bit, guess I'll have to take it further you little bitch!" Grunty growled and zoomed towards Kammy. The koopa witch screamed and flew away from her. The two chased each other through the air, throwing various spells at each other. Grunty shot another spell at Kammy but she deflected it with her own spell, causing the beam to re-direct itself toward the group.

"SHIT, IT'S COMING THIS WAY! MOOOOOOOOOVE!" Bowser Jr. screeched and everyone split off into various directions. The spell shot at Yoshi, knocking him to the floor.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! YOSHI! A-ARE YOU ALRIGHT!?" Birdo cried and ran to his side. She screamed again when she saw that Yoshi turned into something else entirely…

"OH MY GOD, YOSHI'S A FREAKING BLOOPER! A GREEN ONE AT THAT! That color just doesn't look right on those species! Yuck!" Lakilulu cringed.

"What the hell are you talking about!? How could I…" Yoshi looked down and all he saw were fins. He then felt his skin, which was more smooth and moist than usual. "Oh…wow…um…I guess I've officially experienced the most bizarre thing that could ever happen to me."

Meanwhile, Rosalina floated towards the other two Grunty clones.

"Pah! This chick really thinks she can beat us! Ooh, I am frightened by a boring Princess Peach clone, do you even cuss?" a Grunty clone insulted.

"I don't think I can beat you…I KNOW I can beat you. No…not just me. The strength of all our powers combined is more than enough to take you down!" Rosalina spoke with pure confidence.

"Alright, show me what you got, I don't expect too much, for you're like a fly which I will swat!" Grunty said.

"Stars of light, hear my call! These mon- AUGH!" Rosalina was suddenly interrupted as it looked as if she was being choked.

"Heehee, what were you saying? This battle is a joke, quit playing!" the other Grunty clone spat, being the one who was magically choking. The other Grunty clone raised her arm up with her wand still in hand, and jerked it downwards, sending Rosalina slamming down into the ground below. Everyone else that saw this screamed and covered their mouths in shock. The grunty clone that slammed her down sent her back up again.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOU, DO YOU HEAR ME!? LEAVE HER ALONE!" Waluigi was enraged at that point after seeing his girlfriend get hurt right in front of him. Luckily, Rosalina didn't seem that much in pain, only her nose was bleeding and she had a big bruise on her cheek.

"Mweehee! That didn't seem like it caused too much pain, shall we try once again?" the Grunty clone that was choking her giggled. Before they could do anything else, she was suddenly hit by a flying shell, releasing Rosalina from the choke hold.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH! WHAT IN BROWN BOOGERS NAME JUST HIT ME!?" the Grunty clone cried. Parakarry came into her view.

"It was me! My flawless Shell Shot never fails to defeat some crusty old beast rip-off of the Wicked Witch of the West!" the mailman grinned in victory.

"You're gonna pay for that! Turn this freak into stone, then he will fall and SPLAT!" chanted the other Grunty clone behind him. Before Parakarry could even move an inch, the beam from her wand turned Parakarry into a stone statue and began to fall to the top grounds of the tower.

As this was happening, Rosalina had a chance to regain her focus and quickly chant out the spell again. "STARS OF LIGHT, HEAR MY CALL! THESE MONSTERS SHALL FEAR THE MIGHT OF YOUR FALL!" Right after that, a bunch of shooting stars came in from the sky and aimed towards the two Grunty clones.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! RETREAT!" both of them yelled, getting pummeled by the shooting stars. One of the grunty clones got hit so hard that she fell off her broomstick.

Everyone saw Parakarry's stone statue fall closer to the ground. They all avoided where it was gonna land and feared for the worst.

"STOP!" Rosalina yelled, pointing her arm towards the statue. It stopped a few inches above the ground. Everyone gave a huge sigh of relief.

"RETURN!" Rosalina yelled again and shot a beam of white light from her left hand that hit the statue, turning Parakarry back into his normal self.

"Oh Parakarry, thank goodness you're okay! When I saw that you were turned into a statue and were about to smash into a billion pieces, I almost fainted!" Bombette cried while running up to the mailman and then hugged him.

"Yeah, but you were also completely brave for going at Grunty…err, one of the Grunties like that, and saving Rosalina! Great job!" Vivian also hugged him.

"Awww don't mention it, girlies! It's all in the name of being a hero!" Parakarry proudly said.

Meanwhile, the Grunty clone crashed into the ground right after Parakarry was saved. Unfortunately, she wasn't completely knocked out as she was still breathing and moving. But this gave everyone else on the ground a big opportunity.

"THERE SHE IS! DOGPILE THE WHORE!" Fire Bro commanded and the entire group yelled like a mob and charged for her. DK was at the front of the group, running like a wild animal. He took a giant leap, landed on her chest, and proceeded to choke her.

"AAAAAAACK! GET…YOUR…FURRY…SMELLY…HANDS…OFF OF ME!" she barely let out and poked her nails deep within DK's skin, causing the ape to scream out in pain and loosen his grip. Grunty pushed him aside and quickly got up…only to be met by a bunch of ink squirting on her face.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeekkkk! What is this substance upon my face!? EW! And I got some in my mouth too, this is a disgrace!" Grunty cried and gagged, trying to wipe the ink off of her.

"That's what you get for turning me into a Blooper, you tub of lard! At least hit me with a spell that will turn me into something cooler like a Chain Chomp or an Amayzee Dayzee!" Yoshi complained, and flipped her off with his middle fin.

While the Grunty clone was distracted, Diddy did a leap just like DK and punched her square in the jaw, knocking her down yet again. Bowser came in next, grabbed both of her legs with both of his hands, picked her up over his head and slammed her down into the ground, face-down. He picked her up and slammed her into the ground again, and repeated this process a few more times. After that, it was clear that this Grunty was a clone and was actually a robot as some 'parts' were falling off and broken. To ensure that this clone was gone for good, Pauline walked over to the body and slammed her high heel pump into the clones' forehead, breaking it open and destroying the circuitry inside there. As if that wasn't enough, Bombette hopped on the clone and did her Mega Bomb move, destroying the clone even further.

After Rosalina's spell ended, the Grunty clone that was being attacked almost fell off her broomstick as well, but managed to recover. She was bruised all over and some of her robotic parts were exposed and sparking out.

"Ugh…well…quite unexpected, I must say! But I'm not finished yet…how about a spray!?" she said, then her animate broom opened its mouth, and a geyser of water came shooting out and hit Rosalina with immense power, knocking her towards the ground. The Grunty clone then aimed her broomstick towards the others on the ground, spraying them as well.

"OOF! What on earth is wrong with you!? You are ruining my makeup! I spend over an hour a day doing that!" Flurrie complained, being knocked down by the intense power of the water along with the others. Some of them slipped back down as they attempted to stand back up. The Grunty clone sprayed the entire top of the tower.

"STOP!" Rosalina yelled, inches before she hit the ground. She floated again, safe and sound, but suddenly dropped again. She gasped, realizing what had happened.

"Oh no, the levitating spell! It's worn off!" she covered her mouth in shock and looked around for Kammy.

The koopa witch was still being chased by, presumably, the real Grunty and they both were still throwing magic at each other, both evading each other's attacks continuously. Kammy suddenly stopped flying and dropped down. Grunty saw this and laughed at her demise.

"AAAHHHHH! NOOOOOO! I…REFUSE TO LET THIS BE THE END! SOFTEN!" Kammy cried and shot out another magic blast from her wand, hitting the spot where she was likely to land. Kammy landed on the spot, but bounced off of it like a trampoline and landed safely. Everyone did a sigh of relief.

"Booooo! I wanted to see the granny go KA-SPLAT! Oh well…here comes the grand finale, you little rat!" Grunty then waved her hands around, above her head. A ball of light was slowly being formed, however this 'ball' had a very 'zappy' look to it.

"Wh-what is she doing!? Why do I get the feeling this is going to be her biggest attack yet!?" Jojora shrieked.

Rosalina's eyes widened. "Oh no…she's forming an electricity spell…and she's gonna collide it with the ground here…that has water all over it…WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE OR ELSE WE'LL ALL BE ELECTROCUTED!" Everyone started to panic and run back to the inside.

"WAIT WAIT WAIT! I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING!" Larry yelled, stopped in his tracks, and ran back towards Rosalina. He touched her shoulder and said, "MIMIC!"

Rosalina stepped back, feeling a weird energy flow through her, and the same with Larry. "What the…what did you just do!?"

"Ooh…woah…that feels…heavy…remember back in Hyrule, Gekikara gave me the mimic power? Okay, no time to explain further, we have to deflect that electric ball! I am not leaving until we defeat this crazy bitch!" Larry demanded. Rosalina was surprised by his affirmative action, but nodded anyways.

Kammy walked over, witnessing everything that just happened. "Larry…you have the same magic power that Rosalina does, right? Perfect. This will make things easier. We have to deflect that electric ball using our powers. Follow my lead!" She then extended her hands out, towards the direction of Grunty. Rosalina did the same while Larry just sweatdropped.

"…Crap…uhh…maybe this was a bad idea! I don't know any of those weird mumbo jumbo words that you two say to use the magic!" he freaked.

"Don't worry about that right now! Just do what we're doing!" Rosalina said. Larry followed what the girls were doing and saw that Grunty's electric ball was enormous now.

"Let's see you avoid this right now, this thing is double the size of a cow!" Grunty said and threw the electric ball towards the three.

"GUYS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? YOU HAVE TO GET OUT OF THERE! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE!" Peach cried.

"Wait, I think they're trying something…it may just work…" Toadette reassured.

"Guys…right after I say the word 'now', say DEFLECT. Got it!?" Kammy ordered, bracing for the electric ball.

"Got it!" Rosalina and Larry nervously responded.

"3…"

The electric ball zoomed in on them even closer.

"2…"

Larry was the most nervous. He quickly put himself in a lethal situation. Although his intentions were good, he wasn't confident in using magic to help destroy Grunty.

"1…"

The electric ball was mere inches away. Rosalina closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

"NOW!"

"DEFLECT!" they all shouted. The electric ball bounced off of their hands, and re-directed back straight to Grunty. Everyone else was stunned at what they saw, smiling and cheering at their victory.

"WOAH! WHAT THE FRICK!?" Grunty screeched, not seeing any of that coming. She hit the electric ball with her wand, sending it into a different direction into the open air. It exploded, sending sparks all over the battlefield.

While the Grunty clone was distracted by this display, Kammy pointed her wand towards her and yelled, "IGNIS!" A huge flame shot out of her wand and collided into the Grunty clone, setting her entire body on fire.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! NO! YOU CURSED BITCH! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! I'M BURNING, I'M BURNING! OH WHAT A WORLD, WHAT A WORLD! WHO WOULD'VE HAVE THAT MERE PEASANTS LIKE YOU THREE COULD DESTROY MY UNDENIABLY BEAUTIFUL WICKEDNESS! OHHHHHHH, LOOK OUT! I'M GOING! AAAAHHHHHH!" The grunty clone cried while slowly spiraling down into the ground, finishing her off.

"Wow…does anyone else feel like that little speech has been said somewhere else too? Perhaps a movie?" Goombella asked in curiosity.

"Yeah, kick ass! Now defeat the real witch bitch so we can collect the gem and get some well-earned SLEEP!" Wendy cheered.

"NOOOOOOOO! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I'M SO MAD THAT I COULD MUNCH DOWN AN ENTIRE BOWL OF HEALTHY SALAD AND BREATH MINTS! AND I DON'T CARE IF THAT DIDN'T RHYME!" Grunty raged.

"Huh. So…Grunty instantly starts eating healthy whenever she gets mad, I assume," Goombario noted.

Rosalina extended her hand out and one of the broomsticks that the Grunty clones were on suddenly flew right into her hand. She turned around and said, "Here, get on. Both of you."

"Wh-what are you doing? Are we going to whack Grunty with that?" Larry stupidly asked.

"Um, no. Just get on. Trust me on this!" Rosalina urged. The two got on the broomstick like a witch would and they suddenly flew off into the air. Rosalina was controlling it with her mind.

"Woooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Okay, this is not what I had in mind! Don't get mad at me if I end up puking!" Larry screamed in surprise.

Rosalina flew the broomstick towards Grunty. Kammy shot another magic spell at her and Grunty did the same. The two magic spells collided with each other, creating another small explosion, blowing both of them back a bit.

"Gah! Alright…guess I must unleash my ultimate trick! VESPAS! Attack these enemies from another world, let your kingdom be unfurled!" chanted Grunty.

"V-Vespas? What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Larry asked, fearing the worst. Kammy dropped her jaw.

"No…I…I recognize that spell…" she whispered. Just then, a bunch of loud buzzing noises were heard.

Everyone on the top of the tower heard it too. They looked around and almost fainted when they saw thousands of wasps floating up from the sides of the tower and closing in on the heroes.

"Oh my stars…is this the end!?" Luigi yelped, staring in awe at the amount of deadly wasps coming at them.

"Heeheehee! See how you try to avoid this one!" Grunty cackled, flying up higher to avoid the wasps.

Kammy and Larry looked down and saw the others screaming and scrambling for their life as the wasps got closer to them.

"OH NO NO NO! Damnit…I-I don't know what to do!" Kammy stuttered, her heart racing fast now.

"Don't you know of a protection spell that can shield all of them!?" Larry asked.

"I do…but…my magic isn't powerful to protect them all…wait! Larry, extend both of your hands out towards the others and say the word 'shield'! DO IT NOW!" Kammy yelled in impatience. Larry did as she said and said "SHIELD."

A blast of blue light shot from both his hands. The blue light hit Kooper and formed kind of a 'bubble' around his entire body.

"Uhh I really don't think putting me inside a bubble is gonna help solve anything!" Kooper obnoxiously said.

Kammy shot a blue light from her wand as well at the bubble that was surrounding Kooper, it grew bigger, encasing some of the others as it grew but the wasps were now inches away from attacking the others that were exposed.

Rosalina saw what they were doing. She put her left hand out, still keeping her eyes on the broomstick since she needed to keep concentrated in order to keep Kammy and Larry safely afloat, and blue light also shot out from her hand, hitting the bubble and making it grow even faster. Everyone was now encompassed inside the bubble and the wasps were failing to break through it. It was like hard plastic. Everyone rejoiced.

"YES! YOU GUYS DID IT! Wait, where is Kazooie at!? She was just right behind me a second ago!" Banjo started to panic and looked around the 'arena' for her. No sign.

Grunty was fuming now, her face turning red. "WHAT!? GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! These menaces are craftier than I thought! I must think of some-"

BOOM!

Something hit Grunty's back and exploded, causing the hag to fall over and hang onto her broomstick by her hands. She looked and saw that it was Kazooie who had done it. She shot a grenade egg.

"Your game is over, Grunty. Think of this as a final reminder, you are NEVER going to win these battles no matter how hard you try. Someone will always triumph over you and there's nothing you can do about it, so stop with your stupid magic tricks and do the world a favor…DIE!" Kazooie harshly spoke and shot another grenade egg at her, knocking Grunty off the broomstick and falling below. She managed to grab onto the broomstick that Kammy and Larry were on before falling any further.

"Ugh…I'm not…finished yet! This battle is far from over, that's a bet!" Grunty cried, clearly looking worn out.

Larry smirked and shook his head. "Really? Sure looks pretty damn over to me. You're done." He then put his hand out just above her face, and blasted her down with a shot of blue light. Grunty screamed for dear life as she fell into the wasp pit. Kammy and Larry stared in fright as Grunty disappeared within the mass of wasps in seconds, imagining how the indescribable amount of pain she must be getting.

Rosalina decided to officially end this all. "DISINTEGRATE!" she formed a huge, white ball with her hands and shot it upwards, through the barrier, and into the wasps. It made a huge explosion, disintegrating every single wasp there was into dust. Everyone looked at the sight in amazement, cheering and smiling now that this battle was finally over. Rosalina made the barrier disappear and everyone saw Grunty lying in the center of the tower top and ran over to her. She had bumps all over her body and was barely moving. Mario reached into her pockets and got out the fifth gem, the Pearl gem.

"YES, WE DID IT! Our adventure is officially halfway over, you guys!" Mona cheered, jumping up and down for joy and everyone else did the same. It was over now. They could finally relax for now. The magic that turned Yoshi into a Blooper also wore off so he was back to his regular form.

Banjo stood over the hag with a frustrated expression. "You know, I'm really getting tired of having to kick your ass every few years, with you coming into this world and trying to destroy me and everything else that's important. I have had it." He then turned to Bowser and said, "Hey…you're the strongest of us here. Mind doing me…no, all of us a favor and throwing this monster off the tower?"

Bowser made an evil grin. "Why, I'd be honored to do that!" He picked up Grunty with all of his might, slowly made his way towards the edge of the tower and threw her off into the depths below.

"Well, that is officially the end of that! Rosalina and Kammy, you guys did an amazing job beating her and her stupid clones! And Larry…I totally forgot that Gekikara gave you that power to copy someone else's power. You were brilliant!" Mario complimented.

"Yes, without your help, we probably wouldn't have made that barrier big enough in time for everyone to get protected. You made it so much easier. Thank you," Kammy said with genuine kindness for once.

"Aww shucks! I just…I refused to let that hag win so easily. Plus, doing some magic was really cool! I feel like a wizard!" Larry giggled.

"Now it's time to head back to Mushroom Corps. and give this gem to Arfur…and hopefully we can get some sleep! I imagine that we're all pretty exhausted!" Dixie said and everyone nodded in agreement and started to walk back the way they came.

Vivian tapped Yoshi on the shoulder. "Hey, uhh, this may or may not be bad timing, but…do you still hate me after what was revealed in the quiz room? I…I thought I was doing the right thing, I wanted to help Birdo, but…I didn't think of the consequences at the time. You know that I would never try to hurt your guys' relationship!"

"I don't hate you, Vivian. Yeah, I was upset about what was said back there, but I'm willing to forgive and move on. Same thing with you, Birdo. One little lie isn't going to ruin our bond," Yoshi said and smiled. Birdo almost wanted to cry in joy. She and Vivian hugged Yoshi, creating a heart warming moment.

"Peach! Um…so…you have no idea how terrible I feel about what happened. I know this may not be the right moment to do this, but…please…forgive me? I'm not asking you to be my friend, or asking you to be nice to me, I just…I am so sorry. You didn't deserve to go through that much pain. You and Mario deserve each other," Pauline nervously said. Peach looked at her and sighed. She then grew a little smile.

"I…I forgive you, Pauline. I don't like holding grudges," she said. Pauline stopped walking and made a glowing and wide grin. All the stress and burden on her was officially erased.

"Oh! Th-th-th-thank you so much! I-I really appreciate it. I know you nor anyone else don't completely trust me still, but…I'm not an evil person," she cheered.

"I know you're not. But, I have to ask you something and I don't wanna sound mean but…do you even have any friends?" Peach asked.

Pauline's smile slowly turned to frown. "Oh. Um, well…not really. I mean, I use to have close friends, but…I kinda screwed that one up."

"Then I'll be your friend. I don't think it's fair for anyone to not have at least one friend in their lives," Peach offered. Pauline was taken back at this.

"Wait, what!? Peach…you don't have to. Don't do this just because you feel sorry for me or something," she said.

"I'm not. Deep down, I've kinda always wanted to be friends, Pauline. But of course, that couldn't happen for obvious reasons but now I think is a better time than ever!" Peach gleamed with happiness and took Pauline's hand. She blushed a little and smiled again.

"So! You two are friends now, huh?" Mario spoke behind the both of them. The two girls turned to him in surprise.

"Oh, Mario! You heard everything?" Peach asked.

"Yes, I did. I thought it was…really touching honestly. Even though I can't ever forget what you did to me, Pauline…I forgive you. If Peach can do it, then why can't I?" Mario innocently shrugged. Pauline was unable to contain her excitement and hugged him.

Mona and Parakarry caught up with Bowser and his kids. "Bowser! Uhh, me and Mona…we wanted to sincerely apologize for setting fire to your basement long ago. It was childish of us to even go through with that kind of dangerous and stupid plan," said Parakarry.

"Yeah, you don't even have to forgive us. We just wanted to let you and your kids know that we feel terrible about it," Mona added.

Bowser looked at the two, narrowing his eyes. "Hmph. Well…whatever. I guess I can accept that. And I suppose it isn't the worst thing that's ever happened to us. Do anything like that again and I'll drown you in my lava pool!" Mona and Parakarry quickly nodded in fright, but were relieved to see that Bowser actually accepted their apology.

"Speaking of apologies…dad…I'm sorry for keeping the secret of that boy from you for so long. We just didn't want the situation to go any further than it already did!" Bowser Jr. said.

"Yeah, we totally didn't mean to upset you by keeping it to ourselves. Like I said before, we handled it and I didn't want you to have a huge freak out about it," Wendy spoke guiltily.

"Don't worry about it, kids. We all have our secrets. But you, Larry and Kammy, you did amazing back there. I'm seriously proud of you two," Bowser actually smiled for once and Larry and Kammy smiled back, feeling on top of the world.

"Yeah, guys! That magic stuff was super cool! Think you can magically conjure up a corndog for me right now?" Bowser Jr. joked.

"I'll admit, I was…a little bit blown away by what you pulled off there," Wendy reluctantly admitted, but deep down, she was also very proud of them.

"Rosalina, when I saw that tramp hurt you, I felt so angry that I really thought I was gonna, like, blow up for a second. I've never felt such anger in my entire life. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you…" Waluigi admitted, holding her hand.

"You'll never lose me, Waluigi. That is something that I can promise. And don't worry about me being hurt, I can handle myself," Rosalina responded and kissed him. Whatever worries that Waluigi were immediately swept away.

"Hey, Jojora? Are you okay? You look…intense…or something to that effect," Koops asked.

"Wh-what? No! I'm fine! I'm just, uhh, tired like everyone else obviously! Nothing is wrong with me so don't pay any attention to me! OKAY?" Jojora raised her voice in panic. Koops raised a brow, knowing that something was off.

"You guys, the air is filled with love and happiness right now! All amends have been made! We have the fifth gem! I say we sing an uplifting and empowering song to celebrate this moment!" Lady Sasa declared.

"We've done enough singing for one night! Give us a break, cokehead!" Toad groaned.

"Sweetie, you can never do enough singing! NOW COME ON, LET'S FINISH THIS WORLD OFF A RAZZLING DAZZLING BANG!" the popstar cheered. Everyone else rolled their eyes and gave her a dirty glare but participated anyway. Upbeat, heartfelt piano pop music started to play from somewhere beyond their imaginations, and Lady SaSa started it off:

Hmm…indestructible, indestructible! Yeah yeah…

If we were to fall apart and I didn't have to feel anything, I'd want to feel everything!

KOOPIE:

Oh, this destiny, I want to thank you

BOWSER:

Let this ship sail, inside the raising wind

GOOMBELLA:

You know that I will never surrender

WARIO:

And not to stop ever!

BOMBETTE:

Tie our numerous feelings together and…

DIDDY:

Head into the world that we have never seen!

WENDY:

This bond's indestructible, unbreakable, something that can never be broken, it's certainly our soul

KOOPER:

For example, even if somebody were to try and hurt me, no matter what happens

LAKILULU:

I know it will be alright!

PARAKARRY:

A lot of important things are simply just

PEACH:

Invisible, they can't be seen so, I want to tell you once again

ALL:

And without you, you know, I wouldn't be right here, right now standing high!

Oh, this destiny! Indestructible…

In-de-struc-ti-ble

VIVIAN:

Indestructible.

The music ended and everyone stood there, thinking about what just happened, about what they sang. They all thought it was incredibly cheesy, but at the same time, it felt nice and even powerful. This group had definitely proven to be indestructible in many ways.

EOC.

Alright, after this, no more songs will be sung by the whole cast, I promise lol. Next chapter, everyone else will find out what happened to Watt, the painting that Mona and Vivian found will be shown to the others and explained, Gekikara will return, Tatanga and his team will be shown, and a scene at the hospital will be shown as well. Mario Party Deluxe will be updated in a few days too.
