After Giratina ambushed the main quartet, Professor Kolorado nursed Aurafu back to health, pondering where his wife was. Noiwave crash landed in the Shooting Star Summit, encountering the Star Spirits, a group of seven powerful stars that aided Mario and his new friends years beforehand, including Kooper. The female Noivern bursted into tears. She felt like she failed Kooper in protecting him, being there for him, and taking care of him. The Star Spirits reassured her otherwise and gifted her to the map. Noiwave picks herself back to find Kooper.

Meanwhile, Kooper's whereabouts are Forever Forest, a dark and maligned wood. Kooper hung off a tree branch by his scarf, almost choking him. Thankfully, the tree branch broke and Kooper was fast awake. ''

''Huh… N-Noiwave? We most of gotten separated. Dammit! That blasted Giratina!"

He attempts to call Aurafu with his Gameboy Horror, but instead of being greeted by his loving leader, it was Kalvin who picked up the call.

''Yo, Kooper! Long time no see. How's life been treating you? Ain't looking too hot. Looks like you tried to commit a game over.

''Don't talk funny business now, you boner! I'll never forget you almost killing Aurafu!

''You're just jealous because Aurafu and I are closer now than you ever had with him. Call me back when you know how to speak to the dead."

Kalvin abruptly hangs up on Kooper, causing Kooper to shake his Gameboy to death. He stopped once his Boo radar went off, beeping faster and faster until getting jump scared by a Boo, Kooper threw his Gameboy at their face.

''OWW! It's just me, Kooper! What's gotten into you!? Professor Kolorado was searching up and down for you."

"Lady Bow!? Oh my goddess, I'm sorry for chucking that Gameboy at you!" He turns around.

The Koopa's old friend slaps him with a fan. "That's for chucking that brick at my pretty face! Let's get out of here. Everyone is expecting you, dear."

Lady Bow rubs Kooper's cheek, tying his scarf back on and leading him out Forever Forest. I heard a loud boom from Toad Town. Kooper and Lady Bow rush at the scene. The residents panic as Bowser is high above the town with his Koopa clown car, dropping cannons everywhere. The town failed to recover from Aurafu's attack, and Bowser was about to bring every building down.

"Gwar har har har! Shoot the Koopa Troopas for two thousand points!" Bowser gets hit by a blue Koopa Shell.

"That's two hundred to you!"

Kooper clings onto Bowser's clown car and knocks him around like a punching bag, spinning his skull around.

"You weak minded fool! Disrespecting the dead will come back to haunt you! Goodbye, Koops." Bowser grabs Kooper by the neck.

"I-I'm K-K-Kooper!"

He raises Kooper closer to his face. "... It's Kooper…"

"YOU MONSTER, LET THE DEAR BOY GO!" Lady Bow smacks Bowser across the face, doing no damage. "... I mean, let the dear boy down, please."

Without a second thought, the King Of Koopa's grabs Lady Bow, smashing her like a stress ball and throws her on the ground. "You also haven't learned from our fight years ago." He spikes her to the ground like a volleyball and flies away with Kooper.

"LADY BOW!" Yelled Kooper.

"KOOPER!"

Noiwave was flying nearby, and her ears perked up and eyes bulged out. "Is that… Kooper? Hold on, Kooper, I'm coming baby!"

Bowser was heading towards his castle with his Koopa clown car, with Kooper in hand. Noiwave instantly ambushes Bowser from behind and slashes him with her claws..

"You may have gotten the first strike," He grabs her by the neck. "But I got the last laugh." Bowser takes one claw and makes a hold in her wing. "Enjoy your flight, stinky bat."

Kooper holds his hands out for Noiwave before Bowser drops her. Noiwave's heart shattered as she got a glimpse of Kooper tearing up. She crash lands and doesn't bother getting up, staring at the clouds, wondering where it all went wrong.

"Time is of the essence, stinky bat. GET UP!"

Noiwave remand on the ground. "I failed him… my lovable little guy, my player two, the man of my house, I freaking failed him oh my Arceus!"

"You only say that when it's too late. Kooper is counting on you to save him. Do you want Kooper's last moments to be him believing you weren't saving him?"

"Argh, it's too much to live with! I would rather sacrifice my life for Kooper than letting him perish. She cries out loud. 'Kooper… this time I can't lose you."

"Not so fast. You need accommodation to rescue him."

Lady Bow handed Noiwave a big brown left with eyes, a super leaf. A brown tail and second set of ears grew on her body, granting her the ability to fly without her wings.

"Ew! Thought that growth coming out of my butt was poop."

With a running start, Noiwave took off in the skies, her spirits back up and determined to save her dearest and most loyal friend she's come to know. Noiwave followed Bowser to his castle, which was heavily guarded by Bowser's armed minions, complete with Bullet bill canons and Koopa clown cars galore. Fortunately for Noiwave, they were no match for her. The bullet bills chased her around in the air, only to get kicked back into the castle by Noiwave's large and lightning fast talons. Bowser knew one of Kooper's friends was coming to the rescue, so he chains the poor Koopa up and over a pool of lava, swinging and punching him around like a punching bag. The alarms went off soon after.

"Heh, I assume you could watch one last high class bout before dumping you into the lava." Bowser turned away, smirking as he stared down the castle halls from his throne room.

The entire castle went into lockdown to halt Noiwave's progress, but no one was ready. For the first time in her life, Noiwave tapped into her inner Noivern, aggressively and cruelly attacking the guards in hordes, bursting down doors with her ultrasonic sound waves, chucking blast seeds she carried in her mail bag, scaring Bowser's minions silly as they were no match for the hot-blooded Noivern.

"These dorks are useless!" Bowser punched a security screen.

"Yet you still keep them around." Kooper gets punched in the snout. "Best believe I'm right!"

"Speaking of not being unable to keep them around, it looks like one of them came crawling back." Bowser looks back at the cracked security screen. "Gwa ha ha! If it isn't Kalvin-Koopa and his malnourished bear, Aurafu. Let me greet them in my Kaizo Mario Maker room!"

This room in question was a typical bridge over a pool of lava that's a tradition in Bowser's many castles. Kalvin, however, knew Bowser's hidden traps better than the back of his hand.

"Aurafu, simplicity is Bowser's manipulation tactic. I know this bridge has something that will kill you. Whether it's a mob of enemies, invisible blocks, overall artificial difficulty and bulls#! t for everyone."

"... I appreciate your concern and warnings all the same, Kalvin. You should teach me everything wacky about your home dimension."

Aurafu used Bulk Up.

"Behold my refined, redesigned, rehydrated, Mecha Bowser 2.0!"

A giant Bowser robot collapsed on the bridge, lava splashed everywhere and Aurafu ran for his life while holding Kalvin. They were stuck between the giant robot and a locked door ahead of them. Bowser was just stoked to witness their misfortune and timely fate. Luckily, Noiwave was already approaching his room and came across the bridge.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? Go save Kooper already!"

Noiwave's yelling caught the Mecha Bowser's attention and winds up a punch for her. Noiwave's eyes bulged out as she realized her pitiful fate.

"... I mean go save Kooper already, please. At least let me wet myself one last time before you kill me-"

She gets pounded into the ground, completely flattening her. The Mecha Bowser attempts the same thing on Aurafu. The Jackal Bear held the giant fist above his head to avoid getting crushed.

"GET OFF OF ME! DO YOU HEAR ME!? I SAID GET OFF!"

Aurafu yelled at the top of his lungs, which even made Kalvin's bones raddle. His body was fuming with aura, overthrowing the robot with close combat, causing it to splash into the lava pool.

"Yikes!" Noiwave dodgers a splash of lava. "Aurafu, be careful where you toss that toy around! That lava almost splashed all over me!"

The lava then splashed all over Aurafu, spreading all over his Sir Arron's outfit. He had no choice but to take off. Bowser was barking orders to take Aurafu out. This set Kooper off and he broke free to attack Bowser, ripping his limbs like a child doing the same to a toy. He finished Bowser off by pulling his jaw off his skull and throwing it at the monitor.

"That's the final straw, dead man. I'm coming guys!"

Kooper escapes Bowser's clutches, for now. Guards quickly cornered Kooper in the room right above the one Mecha Bowser 2.0 was located. With the help of a Bomb-omb that he caught from a guard, Kooper blew up the floor, crashing into the Mecha Bowser cockpit. Noiwave's jaw. Dropped. Kooper's face of determination quickly turned into surprise once he witnessed the controller of Mecha Bowser.

"Kamek The Evil Koopa Wizard!?"

Kooper Gasp.

"That's Magikoopa to you!"

He takes out a tennis racket?

"Whatever. Let my friends go!"

Kooper throws the tennis racket out of the cockpit and near Kalvin and Aurafu. Then pinning Kamek to the control panel, accidentally triggering Bullet Bills to shoot out Mecha Bowser.

"All these years of playing tennis and Mario tennis will make this a comeback story."

Kalvin grabs the tennis racket to hit them back at the Mecha Bowser.

"When the master's robot dips, it's time to jump ship. Toddles."

Kamek escapes the cockpit on his magic broom, but forgot his magic wand during his escape. Kooper grabs and stands on top of the cockpit, uses its magic to restore Noiwave's wings, and puts the fire on Aurafu. Mecha Bowser mk 2 explodes and sinks into the lava.

"Noiwave, help me!" He drops the magic wand and slips off Mecha Bowser's head. "AHHHHHHHH!"

Noiwave catches him at the last second and lands next to Kalvin And Aurafu. For the first time in months, the quartet was back together.

"Y-you came all the way here to rescue me? Thank you, Noiwave."

"I'll never stop rescuing you, Kooper. Even if you don't need it, Noiwave is here to protect you if it kills me." She kneels down and rests her claws on Kooper's shoulders. "I love you, kiddo. You may not be a Pokemon, and that's what makes you special, you're irreplaceable. There is no other Koopa Troopa in Napoleon or Celetris that could be a great hero."

"Hello, I'm right here." Kalvin points at himself.

"You're dead!" She replies coldly.

Kalvin realizes. "Son of a bitch."

"There's still a lot you got in ya, Kooper. Surprised me you did."

Before Aurafu could embrace Kooper in a hug, his now burned outfit and gloves caused him to devolve back into a Rapid Strike Urshifu. His fur was now more gray and overall, the Urshifu looked older and tired. Aurafu didn't look upset about this, in fact he was relieved.

"How did you lose your Lucario form!? This makes no sense. We need to collect some sense guys!" said Kooper. "... Maybe Aurafu lost his fusion form from the outfit being burned, or maybe you took a heavy beating."

"Theoretically, but I want to get away from that nickname you've given me, Kooper. That's what everyone knows me as, and these auras powers have made these some of my worst days. I'm glad I feel normal again. My old life is something I'll never get back. But I can start getting close to it."

"Aurafu, I mean, what's your face? You never told us your real name, or are you the Real McCoy Ushifu?" Noiwave asked.

"My real name is something I never shared with you. I got cursed with an aura right after we met. Apologies for not sharing my real name, there's nothing to hide, not a shady past, this isn't a large reveal. My real name is…"

Noiwave, Kooper, and Kalvin held their breath.

"... Is Ursel. The meaning means bear, because my parents thought they were so cute."

"They were cute. That name is perfect for an Urshifu. I'm just happy to have you back, Ursel." Kooper hugs him.

Ursel picks Kooper up for a group hug with Noiwave.

"Ah, good ending. And it was all thanks to Kalvin." He crossed his arms.

"YOU!" Kooper points at Kalvin. "You attempted to suicide bomb, Ursel!"

"Listen, you were hell bent on finding this bear and I wanted you to become your own hero."

"You know what I'm hell bent on now? YOUR HEAD ON A SILVER PLATE!"

Noiwave and Ursel held Kooper back from attacking Kalvin as he led them to the back door of Bowser's castle. Most of Bowser's minions lost the fight, blocked off from catching the quartet, or were too terrified to catch them. Bowser was different. Instead of catching the quartet, he put. Himself back together to plot something new. With the quartet reunited, it's time to find a way home.
