(Paper Mario ost - Hot Times in Mt. Lavalava)
"God… this is hotter then I imagine!" Sylvain complained as they walked in. "Remind me to never go into another volcano once we're done here."
"I thought Bowser's Kingdom was hot…" Millium said.
"This is rather exhausting." Marianne wiping her swift.
"Seriously. And this is bad for people who are wearing dark clothes." Yuri complain. "Not to mention my face and hair!"
"Is this really the time to be concern about that?" Jusis asked as he sighed.
"Hey, I'm fine with some bruises. But when it comes to skin damage, I'm really changing my mind."
"I have to agree with Yuri." Alisa wiping the sweat on her forehead.
"And I have to agree I shouldn't wore my armor in here." Byleth sighed
"I guess the desert and Bowser's Kingdom weren't enough of the heat." Sara muttered. "Levi, do the thing."
"What thing?" Yuri asked
"Roger that." Levi nodded and then he snap his finger and then a magic circle surrounded everyone and everyone felt a normal temperature than the hot temperature.
"Whoa! I don't feel hot anymore! What did you do?" Sylvain asked
"I cast an anti-heat spell. This spell allows us to journey without feeling too hot."
"You serious? Now THAT is something worth praising." Yuri praised.
"Seriously! Thanks a lot! You know, if you were a girl. I would be flirting with you with praise." Sylvain wink.
"And if you do. I'll be sure to scold you for bothering Levi if he was one." Ingrid said in Byleth's pocket.
"Yeah remind us if Levi was a girl, we better stay away from Sylvain." Alisa nodded
"Am I supposed to respond if I should be happy as a boy or not?" Levi sweatdrop. "Actually, forget I ask. I don't mind being flirted with regardless if I'm a guy or a girl and when a guy or a girl hits on me."
"Really? You wouldn't mind?" Sylvain asked as a Piranha Plant appeared in front of them.
"Whoa, hello!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Intruders alert! Subjects identified as Mario and Lumingi, Class VII, and some other people! Alert! Reporting to the boss!" The Piranha Plant shouted and then disappeared into the ground.
"Lumingi?" Luigi asked
"These guys seriously can't say your name right…" Fie said.
"I'm amazed that plant can even talk!" Bernadetta said in Byleth's pocket.
"Ignoring the talking plant aside, we should continue and hope Kolorado doesn't hurt himself." Laura stated as the party walked into the next area… and it was filled with tons of magma.
"Oh boy…" Rean gulped. "Well… this is a volcano and this isn't the first time we've been into one."
"Wait, you guys been into one?!" Sylvain exclaimed.
Kolorado hummed as he stare at the lava. "I sense danger here."
'No shit' Some of them thought.
"All adventures are dangerous, though, so what of it? We must press on toward the glory of an unknown treasure!" He said as he hopped onto the first lava rock… and it sank and he touched the lava. "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!" He yelled, shooting up like a rocket and landing. "Ow ow ow ow!"
"Are you okay?!" Alisa and Gaius asked as they use Arts to heal him.
"Y-yes… just a burnt bottom!"
"Okay, this is going to be a problem." Sara said. "We need to jump to the next rock and fast in an order single line. But also not too overwhelm with how many there are."
"I'll say, Sylvain, Marianne, you sure you can handle it?" Byleth asked
"I'll try my best." Sylvain answered
"Um…. I'll try." Marianne answered.
The Party jumped across the lava rocks and was careful not to touch the lava. Soon they begin to encounter some Lava Bubbles. Luckily, those with water magic, ice magic, and water Arts douse them. Once they made it to the other side, they see a Zip Line and use it as they down where they saw a few Spike Tops minding their own business. They soon begin to deal with them and then go down further where they came across a metal block as Mario and Luigi hammered it… but nothing happened except a small shockwave went through their bodies.
"Whoa!" Luigi said.
"M-M-Mama mia!" Mario said.
"Hmm… Let me try." Laura said as she got her greatsword and then slash it. but to her surprise, it didn't break. "Oh my."
"Ooh! Let me!" Millium call for Airgetlam and then Airgetlam punch it. And to her surprise, it didn't break at all. But it did left a dent. "Holy moly! Not even Lammy can break this one!"
"Damn, that's a shame. What the hell kinda block is this thing made off?" Sara asked.
"Seriously. But this sort of metal can be put to good use." Alisa said.
The Party went down another zipline. Marianne spotted something as she let go on accident. She fell on her butt but then find a Fire Shield Badge.
"Oh my." Marianne said hold onto it. She look for a way down. "Um… This is a problem…"
"Jump Marianne, we'll catch you." Gaius said.
"I-I don't think I should."
"Please, trust us."
"O-Okay." Marianne gulp as she close her eyes and then she jump as she screamed. But she was safely caught by everyone else. "Oh thank the goddess… Oh. Look what I've found." Marianne pulled out the Fire Shield Badge.
"Ooh! You found a good find! Any fire attacks can be reduced from that." Mario said.
"R-Really? Then… you don't mind if I equip it."
"You found it so go ahead."
"O-Okay." Marianne nodded as she equip it.
They then continue on to the left and found a lava river.
"Okay, so what should we do about this?" Celine asked.
"Oh, look over there." Emma pointed and see blocks. "Maybe we can use those blocks to stop the flow of Lava.
"It's worth the shot. But one of us with high jumping skills should get across." Fie stated.
"Allow me to help with that." Petra said as she begin to charge and jump across safely. Then she pushes the blocks each to stop the flow of lava. It work so far. A new path is open but lava still pouring just a little. "Hmm… It seems we have to continue to jump to reach the other side."
"Maybe those who lack it should stay behind. It's probably a head end on the other side." Alisa said.
"Only one way to find out. Okay, those who can jump high, let's go." Sara said as she, Levi, Fie, and Petra came across. They begin to head into the other room. "Well, look at that. We found another room that has a large pour of lava."
"But on the other side is another treasure chest. But bigger." Levi said.
"Okay, let's use those locks Petra use and then see if we can get closer." Fie suggest.
And they begin to use the blue blocks to get across the Lava and then jump to reach the other side. Petra then reach the Large treasure chest and then pulled out two Ultra Hammers.
"Whoa! Nice hammers." Sara said.
"They are indeed impressive looking. But the block is blocking our path." Petra said. "Hmm… let see if this work." Petra then use one of the hammers and then hammer the metal block and break it.
"Holy! That hammer work?!" Sara exclaimed.
"I am having amazement by this world. This should be given to the Mario bros, They have better use of it." Petra replied.
And then they begin to reunite with everyone.
"Welcome back, did you find anything?" Millium asked
"You bet we did." Fie nodded as Petra give the Mario bros the Ultra Hammer.
"Oh, nice!" Luigi said.
"And apparently these hammers can smash the metal blocks." Sara said.
"Whoa! Seriously!?" Millium exclaimed.
"I wonder what kind of material is use to break the metal blocks." Laura hummed. "Maybe its material can be used to upgrade the weapons."
"That'll be amazing if I'm being honest." Rean said. "Did you manage to get some." The group said nothing. "I'll take that as a no."
Levi chuckled. We can collect the metal from the next Metal Block. So let's go."
They went off and got to the other side where Kolorado was waiting for them.
"That's a peculiar dent…" Kolorado mused before the Bros hammered the block. "And now it's not as peculiar. Onward!"
"Okay does anyone else question does he keep appearing?" Yuri asked.
"We all do apparently." Machias sighed as the group begin to pick up the metals. "That guy is unpredictable where he shows up."
They walked into the next room.
"TREASURE!" Kolorado yelled as he took a leap… only to realize what he did. "…Uh oh…" He paled as he tried to hurry back before falling to the ground below.
THUD!
"Oh Goddess!" Marianne gasped.
Sylvain looked down. "Hey! You okay down there?"
"Y-yeah… I'm fine…!" Kororado answered with a groan
"How on Aidios name did you manage to survive that fall!?" Machias exclaimed
"I don't know. Perhaps he's a Koopa." Jusis sarcastically said.
"Koopa have great resilient bodies and shells." Petra nodded
"U-Um… we'll be there to heal you." Marianne oalled out
"No, don't! I don't need healing!"
"You sure?"
"Y-yes… the ground needed a hug… I'm not hurt at all… except for my butt and my pride…" He groaned while saying that last part silently so Marianne wouldn't hear him. "I'll be up… momentarily!"
"If you say so." Sylvain said.
"…I'm amazed that he didn't get himself killed yet." Yuri said.
"Yeah." Class VII, the Mario Bros, Byleth and the other students, even the ones in his pocket said in agreement.
"Though you must admit, the man or Koopa is surprisingly Durable. Then again, he is a different species from us humans." Hubert said in Byleth's Pocket. "He'll make a perfect meat shield if he were so to incline."
"A meat shield? That's rather dark but accurate word to fit him. Though I'll admit he is pretty resilient." Claude said in Byleth's pocket.
"Seriously. His adventurous spirit is going to kill him at some point." Hapi said in Byleth's pocket as the party through the zipline and worked their way down after landing… only as they were walking, a Spiny Tromp landed behind them as they turned. "Uh oh…"
"Ah! It's a trap!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Quick! Behind me!" Bow said as everyone did and the Spike Tromp pass through them.
"My god. The Boos's power continues to impress me." Hubert said. "Perhaps I should consider- Oh, I should keep this in mind."
"Planning something Hubert?" Edelgard asked in Byleth's pocket.
"Ohohoho! These Boos are giving me new ideas for new spells!" Constance laughed in Byleth's pocket as the Spike Tromp reach the end and shatter to pieces.
The Party resume walking off into a new area.
"Oh hey! That reminds me of something. Wasn't there a Pokemon who bathed in Lava?" Levi asked.
"Oh yes. That would be Groudon." Mario answered.
"Who's Groudon?" Petra asked.
"Groudon is an extremely powerful pokemon. I heard from Red that he has amazing abilities. And has the ability to summon intense droughts and cause volcanic eruptions. And also possesses the ability to expand continents." Mario answered
"SERIOUSLY!?" Everyone including the people in Byleth's pocket
"My word. These pokemon truly possess some miracle abilities. I must learn about them." Hubert said in amusement in Byleth's pocket.
"Professor, I think we should learn about pokemon." Edelgard said.
"Yeah teach! Think about it!" Claude said in agreement.
"And if you're going to a realm with pokemon, I'm coming too." Yuri said.
"All right all right everyone. I'll speak to Sothis, Lady Rhea and Seteth about the next field trip." Byleth chuckled as came across a dead end… and then Kolorado came running in.
"Ooooh, I can smell the treasure in here!" Kolorado grinned.
"How'd you get here so fast?!" Sara exclaimed.
"My sense of adventuring, of course! According to the information gathered… the hidden treasure should be right around here. But I need to go a little father! Now where oh where could that entrance be…" He mused, unaware of the bros went back since they saw some blocks to destroy… and on the last one, a Spiny Tromp rolled down, forcing them to jump off in time.
"HEY, HEADS UP!" Mario called out to them.
"INCOMING!" Byleth exclaimed as they got out of the way… except for Kolorado.
"Are you nuts?! Get out of the way!" Yuri shouted.
"Not yet, I can smell the entrance… if I can just find a button, I'll be – YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He cried as the Spiny Tromp crushed him, destroyed the wall and kept on going, while Yuri facepalmed at this.
"Okay, you need heling right away!" Marianne said.
"N-nonsense, it barely nicked me…"
"HOW EXACTLY IS THIS BARELY?!" The group yelled with this Koopa was running thin, and then Marianne, Byleth and Yuri healed him right up.
"Hup hup! Thank you!" Kolorado said and took off.
"…I'm surprised that didn't kill him…" Jusis grumbled.
"He's a stubborn Koopa, I'll give him that." Gaius said.
"Truly, the Koopa clearly has a death wish, Yet he can defy and laugh at death. I can't tell if I have respect for him or that he's more idiotic" Hubert hummed In Byleth's pocket.
"Seriously. We really should put a leash on that guy." Claude said in Byleth's pocket.
"But he'll probably escape…" Ashe said in Byleth's pocket as they walked after him only to reach a dead end with a Super Shroom and a Maple Syrup.
"Huh? There seems to be nothing here. Alas… Even my finely honed intuition can be wrong on occasion. But I shall not give up. Let's head back the other way. Perhaps the treasure is a bit deeper down in the volcano." Kolorado said before turned around.
"It's almost like the Goddess Sothis is protecting him." Mercedes said in Byleth's pocket.
"If that was the case, then he would be unkillable." Ignatz said in Byleth's pocket. "I'm up for studying Arts but I couldn't do that far!"
"But you must admit the man… er… Koopa is persistent with treasure." Linhardt said in Byleth's pocket as they went down while Kolorado decided to stick around for a bit as they went down and hit the final area where a Putrid Piranha Plant came up.
"Mario and friends are still approaching! They're most likely coming for that Star Spirit! Code red! Report to boss!" He said before disappearing.
"Thanks for telling us that!" Sara said as they walked over a bit further before the place rumbled a little… before a huge Piranha Plant appeared before them from a pool of lava.

(Paper Mario ost - Lava Piranha Attack)
"Whoa! That Piranha plant came out of the Lava! Amazing!" "Bernadetta exclaimed in Byleth's pocket.
"Bleck hyuck hyuck yuck!" Lava Piranha cackled. "Welcome, Mario and friends! You've made it!"
"So you must the villain that the fire spirit is angry and imprison the Star Spirit." Petra said as she ready her battle position.
"A fire plant who emerge from the Lava this time." Rean said as everyone else got into their battle position. "It's already clear you won't give up the Star Spirit without a fight. But just like your colleagues before you. We'll defeat them one by one."
"Blah blah blah, you'll cut me down to size, how unoriginal!" Lava Piranha taunted. "Ha, your team is laughable, you have a useless one on your team!"
"And who is this 'useless' team member you're referring too?" Sara pointed her gun at the Lava Piranha. "Because just so you know, we Instructors don't take that comment likely if you're referring to our students."
"Hyuck hyuck yuck! You think you scare me? Now that is funny! I am not afraid of your threat. I can insult the little girl wearing the blue haired one with the black uniform."
"Blue haired… Black attire…? Wait. You mean me?" Marianne pointed to herself.
"Yes, you!" Lava Piranha said. "You just look like a frail little girl who can't take a hit! Oh, look at me, I can heal and nothing else! Oh, how stupid of me!"
Byleth growled his teeth.
"Hey! Leave her alone! Who are you to judge her on her appearance?" Alisa said.
"What a dishonored foe. We will make sure to punish you for insulting our comrade." Laura growled.
"Oh, look at me, I have a couple of friends that protect me while I do nothing! Oh, woe is me! Woe is me!" The Lava Piranha Plant taught
"Wh-Where is this coming from?" Marianne asked. "W-Why would you pick on me?"
"Oh, I'll gladly tell you. You have the appearance that you're scared of everything. You avoided people because you don't want them to see you. Like you have been placed under a curse. A curse is so scary that it haunts you for eternity. And those who are close to you will suffer a terrible fate. You rely on magic from afar to keep your distance, and that's all you do. Be scared like the coward you are. Far more than the greenie."
Marianne look down in shame.
"You son of a-" Byleth growled. "How dare you insult Marianne like that. You will pay dearly for that."
"How could you say something so heartless?" Rean asked as he growled.
"Marianne, don't listen to him. He's just some plant and an enemy who wants to weak your spirit." Fie stated
"Yeah, and we'll make him-" "Everyone, please wait." Marianne interrupted Machias
"Marianne?" Yuri asked as everyone turn to her.
(BGM ended)
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Things Entrusted)
"It's true that I've been avoiding everyone because I am cursed. I have been keeping myself distance because of my secret." Marianne said as she look down. "The secret about my crest. The crest I bear brings omen to those around me. That is why when my father disappear… I believe those stories are true. Ever since what happened to my ancestor, I fear that people I get close to will disappear from my life. And that if people knew about my crest… many would want to kill me."
"Marianne…" Byleth look at her sadden.
"My adopted father is one of the few who care for me. When he donated a large sum of money to the monastery, he did it to keep me safe, and my crest a secret. I pray to the goddess that every day, so that she can remove this fearful curse, and that I can escape from it. When the Goddess Sothis return to Fodlan. I beg her to remove this fowl curse… so that my family and I can be free. But Lady Sothis refuse to remove the curse… because there wasn't any curse to begin with."
Flashback...
"Oh goddess Sothis, please hear my plea." Marianne begged as she was granted an audience.
"Yes, child. Goodness me, are you feeling well? You look pale." Sothis asked
"I-I'm not all right. I am cursed."
"Cursed?"
"Yes. It is the crest I bare. The Crest of the Beast." Marianne nodded as she pray and begged.
"The crest of the beast? Do you mean Maurice's crest?"
"The very same. I come today to beg you to set me and my family from this curse of my crest! I've been gone into hiding all my life. The people I care about will disappear on me. My parents vanish and was never heard again. That is why I beg of you to please set me free from this fearful curse. I beg of you, Goddess Sothis."
"Hmm… I see. I'm afraid that is impossible." Sothis said
"What?" Marianne eye widen as she look up. "I-Impossible?!"
"Yes, because you were never cursed, to begin with."
"I-I'm not?"
Sothis got up from her throne and approach Marianne. "Yes. You are not cursed dear child. That include your family."
"W-What? But… if… If I'm not cursed… what happen to my mother and father?" Marianne asked as she is shocked.
"I'm afraid I cannot answer that question. Please enlighten me. Why do you say these things?"
"Because… Because of the legend about Maurice. Maurice suddenly transformed into a hideous beast and slaughtered innocent people. The negative energy dwelling within his Crest turned Maurice into a monster. The people of Fódlan grew to despise him, and he was stripped of his honor. His whole clan was conquered, and it was believed that his bloodline had vanished… But even now, there exist a few descendants who have inherited Maurice's Crest and his curse. My family line…is one of them. Maurice's Crest is a symbol of disaster. Anyone who comes in contact with it is met with great misfortune. Those who carry the Crest become beasts at night and slaughter innocent people."
"I see. You tell a sorrowful story." Sothis said as she place her hand on Marianne's shoulder. "But none of those things are true. The crest that you bear does not hold great misfortune, nor disaster."
"But… But then…"
"Listen to me, child. You are not cursed nor you should blame yourself for what happened to your ancestor. What happened to Maurice happened to himself. Not to you or your family bloodline had anything to do with it. The people in the past grew fear in their hearts, believing that your bloodline is the symbol of becoming beasts themselves. But all of those tells are false. Tell me, do you know of the Black Beast that Miklan of Gautier turn into? That is what has happened to him. Maurice overused his crest and the Hero's Relic he possess. He used too much of their power, and that power slowly change and took over him. I know that right now that Maurice is suffering for his actions for thousands of years."
"But… if what you're saying is true… then… then the Wandering Beast in Edmund Territory is…" Marianne gasped.
"Maurice himself. He cries to be free from his current form and be in peace at long last." Sothis nodded. "Although I am uncertain what happen to your parents, but it's possible that they might have been killed by Maurice for stepping into his woods." Marianne gasp because of that as tears poured out. "But please remember this child. You are not cursed nor to blame for what happened to Maurice. I know this to be true. And I know that your mother and father who knew about the truth about your crest wanted you and your bloodline to be free from false tales. There's no need to be afraid anymore. And if anyone were to bring you harm, know that my protection is with you, and those who bring you to harm will suffer my wrath." Sothis smiled.
End of Flashback...
"I have been living in fear for all my life. But when I learn that my crest and bloodline aren't a symbol of disaster… I feel human for once. I no longer have to live in fear anymore. That is why I've changed. And that's why I will use my powers to not only help me, but all of my friends and family who need it." Marianne open her eyes and then glare at Lava Piranha. "Say what you will about me. But that is no longer who I am. I will show you I'm not a helpless child! That I'm more than capable of defeating you!" Marianne said as she ready her battle position.
"Marianne." Byleth smiled.
"You tell him girl!" Sara smirked
"If you're not useless, then show me!" Lava Piranha said. "If you have the guts, ya pathetic shy girl!"
"Very well. I'll show you what I'm capable of!" Marianne declared
"Then come at me, then!"

The jackass lava plant - Lava Piranha
"Bleck hyuck hyuck yuck! This is gonna be fun!" Lava Piranha cackled as the Lava Buds proceeded to shoot out fireballs at the party, but they quickly avoided it. So Lava Piranha himself breathed fire at Elliot and Rean, but they jumped up as Alisa shoot her arrow at the Lava Piranha while Fie charge over and leap over Lava Piranha and shoot bullets at him.
"Analyzing enemy vitals." Emma said as she scan Lava Piranha

"I suspected as much." Emma said
Yuri throws in a Dragger and launch it at the head of Lava Piranha, hitting him hard on the head and Byleth use his sword of the creator and launch a powerful whip attack on Lava Piranha and the Lava buds.
Marianne then begin to cast Blizzard at Lava Piranha as it icy shards launch towards Lava Piranha and strike at it's body on both him and the buds.
"Ah! So you do have potential!" Lava Piranha said. "But your potential is as large as your bravery, which there isn't any to begin with!" He said and breathed fire right at Marianne. She jump out of the way and then counter attack as she glowed.
"I won't run away!"Marianne yelled and then launch a critical blizzard frozen most of his body.
"AYIEEE! YOU WRETCHED LITTLE-"
"It's over!" Byleth shout for his Critical and then launch a powerful swirl whip attack at Lava Piranha and deal heavy damage as Lava Piranha screamed in agony before sinking into the lava below.
(BGM ended)
"Is it over?" Sylvain asked
"Looks like we did it." Emma nodded.
"We won." Marianne sighed. "Did I do well Professor Byleth?"
"Of course Marianne, you did-"
"Wait! It's not over! Watch out!" Petra shout as The place rumbled and then Lava Piranha came out, and was on fire.
(Paper Mario ost - Go, Mario, Go! Phrase 2)
"BLECK HYUCK HYUCK YUCK! I'M NOT DONE YET, FOOLS!" Lava Piranha cackled and breathed fire at them, forcing them to dodge the attacks. Machias quickly fire bullets on the Lava Piranha, and while it did hurt him, he laughed it off as the Lava Buds summoned Petit Piranhas before launching fireballs.
"Whoa!" Elliot yelped as he dodge one fireball and then the next. But then block the fireball attack with his staff. "Owowo! Hot hot! Okay, this is payback!" Elliot said as he begin to cast an Orbal Art "ARCUS activate! Take this!" Elliot then cast Crystal Flood and launch it towards Lava Piranha and taken some severe damage.
"AHH! COLD! COLD!" Lava Piranha shout then growled and launch a fire breath attack while his buds launch more fireballs.
"Take this!" Rean said as he use his craft True Arc Slash and launch a powerful arc-shaped shockwave at Lava Piranha while Gaius and Sara use their craft to launch from a distance. The Lava Piranha hissed as it launches a fireball while Sylvain was avoiding the fireballs and then launch his lance towards the Lava Piranha in the head from a safe distance. Emma launch her Arts while Alisa and Fie shoot their range attacks from a distance as Jusis added with his Arts.
"Never fear! Kolorado is here! Take this monster!" A voice exclaimed as they turned to see Kolorado coming in hot. "HII-YAAAAAAAH!" He yelled… and then he fell into the lava. "AIYEEE OWOWOW! HOT HOOOT!" He yelled and then hopped out. "Sorry, ol' chaps! I've done all I could!" He said and took off.
"Oh for crying out-" Levi yelled before getting slapped away by the Lava Piranha "Ooof!"
"Levi!" Marianne exclaim. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Levi shake his head and ready to fight. "You got my back Marianne?"
"Of course!"
"Bleck hyuck hyuck yuck! Supporting from the back, are we? I knew you never have any backbone!" Lava Piranha laughed.
"Take this!" Marianne then cast her next spell but this one is surpsing. It was Fimbulvetr and trapped Lava Piranha in a crystal of ice.
"AYIEEEEE!" Lava Piranha screamed in agony and then shattered and stun him and his buds as the fire douse.
"He's stunned! Everyone! Now!" Rean shout as everyone let out an all-out attack. Mario with a hammer toss along with Luigi's stomp attack, Rean, Sara, Jusis, well all the Melee fighters with their slashes and range fighters with range fight did devastating damage onto Lava Piranha
"AAAAAAAAAAGH!" Lava Piranha scream in agony once more. "I've… Underestimated… you.. girl… you have… a…spine." He said and then he fell over in defeat.

"Now, are we done?" Sylvain asked.
"Yes, now we're done." Petra answered as Lava Piranha is conformed defeated.
"Finally, that plant really pisses me off." Alisa pouted. "Way to go Marianne! You show him who's boss!"
"Huh? Oh no, I think you all did most of the work."Marianne said.
"There's no need to be modest. You were a big help on that battle. Your Ice magic is its greatest weakness with water." Laura smiled
"She's right." Emma nodded. "We're sorry that you've been through so much. But you pull through to the end. I'm happy for you Marianne."
"You're not bad I suppose. You did a job well done in the hand." Celine said.
"Yeah, way to freeze his brains out too." Fie nodded
"I'm proud of you Marianne." Byleth appoach with a smile. "You show me how much you've grown over the past months. I'm aware you've been having a hard time. But never knew you were suffering this much. I wish I could have done something sooner."
"Oh, no! It's not your fault Professor Byleth. I was the one who kept it a secret from everyone because of its fowl legacy." Marianne stated. "But I'm just glad to be human once more."
"Oh come on. You were human from the very beginning. There's no need for you to held on to the solitary life. Unlike a certain shut-in we all know." Yuri said.
"H-Hey! Wait… was that refer to me?!" Bernadetta asked in Byleth's pocket.
"Oh look!" Luigi pointed and then something came out of the Lava and then was the Star Spirit card. "Mario!"
"Yep!" Mario nodded and then he touch the card.

The spell that bind the Star Spirit begin to break. And then appeared now is Misstar. a pink Star Spirit with a gold ribbon.
"Oh my…" Marianne gasped.
"Whoa. So this is the Star Spirit you all are rescuing. She's so beautiful. If she were a human-like, I would have fallen for her. But man, even as a star, she look so radiant" Sylvain wink
"So this is the Spirit of the Stars. I never thought I met a Spirit with so much divinity." Petra said.
"Thank you all for rescuing me. Flattery won't get you anywhere Sylvain." Misstar chuckled.
"Wait, you know who I-?" Sylvain was interrupted when the ground begin to shake.

Petra gasped as the current pathway begin to shatter. "Oh flame spirits… The volcano is erupting! Everyone! We must escape now!"
"Yes, quickly! This way! Hurry!" Misstar nodded and floated to the cave and everyone else follow her and quickly ran over to the other side and climbed up the stairs. And they found Kolorado is already here.
"Where did you come from again?!" Machias exclaimed
"Why I been looking for the treasure of course." Kolorado answered. "Wait, what's this? A starfish? Ugh, this won't do at all! The adventure's never over until the treasure is found! Oh, yes! Perhaps that horrible creature you all fought was hiding it somewhere! I'll be back!"
"Have you LOST your mind!?" Jusis exclaimed. "Did you not notice the situation we're in?!" He asked as the volcano rumbled harder.

"Ack! What's this trembling?! Oh, it's probably just kids playing with fireworks!" Kolorado exclaimed
"FIREWORKS?! Now see here-"
"Now, after that treasure!"
"No! Wait!" Misstar shout as Kolorado went down, only to get burn in the burn.
"YOW! What's this… lava?! It's coming near!"
"We're trapped! What do we do, What do we do!?" Millium panicking as Laura noticed a crack in the wall.
"This way!" Laura said, as she smash the crack with her sword. The crack to make a hole in the wall as they quickly ran into it as the lava was quickly catching up to them only to reach a dead end… and there was a treasure chest right on top, and on the way up was the only way out.
"The treasure!" Kolorado exclaimed. "Ah! I knew it! At Last! The treasure is right there! So close… Can't resist! By the Stars, I'll risk my life for that treasure!"
"OF FOR AIDIOS-" Jusis growled.
"Emma, Celine! I need your help now!" Levi yelled. "Help me create a barrier for all of us to escape! Everyone! Gather around us!"
"Right!" Everyone nodded and Emma and Celine begin to cast their magic into a barrier.
"Kolorado! Get your ass in here!" Levi shout.
"Not without my treasure!" Kolorado exclaimed
"Oh, for heaven's sake!" Misstar groaned as she grabbed Kolorado as they enter the barrier. Once the barrier is formed, the lava reached them and the barrier is protecting them from the Lava. Then the Lava directly headed towards the peak and launch them out of the volcano. Luckily, they made it out of the volcano right as they landed safely.

(Paper Mario ost - Star Spirit Request)
"Oh, woe is me… My beautiful treasure… it's gone… forever…!" Kolorado whined. "Now I'll never be able to get it!"
"…Alright, THAT'S IT!" Jusis said right before Misstar was about to say something as she walked straight to Kolorado. "You!"
Kolorado turned to him. "Yes?" He asked… and then Jusis smack him in the head. "OW!"
"Unbelievable you are! Do you think this is some sort of game to you?!" Jusis started. "'Treasure' this and 'treasure' that! Your lust for this ONE item is unappealing that you didn't realize that you nearly got killed! And countless in fact! Have you EVEN considered about your health?! No! You only cared about is the treasure! And you didn't think about us either! You were only worried about what was in that treasure box. If anything, the greatest treasure of all is your own life, so you might as well treasure it, because one day, NO ONE will know where you are and by the time they find you, it'll be too late because you'll be LONG dead lusting over this treasure!" Jusis then grabbed him by the collar. "Now hear me, you treasure hunting Koopa. You either stop this lust for treasure right now, or so help me, you are gonna regret it for the rest of your life! Because like I said, the greatest treasure of all is your own life."
"Th-that's not entirely true! My greatest treasure is my wife!"
"THEN WHY AREN'T YOU TREASURING HER INSTEAD, YOU IMBECILE?!" Jusis yelled. "There are many of us who are patient with you. But with you and your lust for treasure, you've been doing NOTHING but testing our patience and getting yourself nearly killed with all this!" He then shoved him down. "Now you better go home and treasure your wife, because one of these days, you're gonna come back home and she won't be home, either in the hospital or worse. All because you worry her sick over these pointless treasure hunts! Your wife is the greatest treasure there is, so you better start treasuring her or so help me, I will drag you back to your home myself! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!"
"B-but-"
"NO BUTS!"
Kolorado sighed. "…I guess I do need to spend time with the missus more often. I think I need to do that more…" He said as he got back up. "I'm a changed Koopa. Now, back to Koopa Village! ONWARD!"
"GAH!"
THUD!
Levi suddenly collapse and what had fallen in front of him… was the treasure chest.
"AHA! IT'S SAFE!" Kolorado cheered, causing everyone to face plant as Kolorado pulled out a vase. "Ah… that's more like it!" He said. "Now… starting now, I'll be home more often! ONWARD!"
"I swear in Aidios name…" Jusis grumbled as he and everyone sweatdrop
" I couldn't have said it better myself." Misstar said. "To think! This island was put into terrible peril because of the meddling of Bowser's men. I think it will work out okay. The eruption will subside, and Lavalava Island will be just the same as it used to be."
"I have agreement. The Flame Spirit, the Jungle Spirit can now feel at ease with the defeat of that vile plant." Petra smiled
'Maybe I should talk with Mr. Kolorado when we get back. I'm wanted to see that art he has.' Ignatz thought
"As annoying as that guy was. I'm actually surprised you lose your composer there. Mr. Nobleman." Machias taught.
"Don't start with me Regnitz. The last thing I need is another headache." Jusis glared. "I already got too much from Millium."
"Wait? Me!? What did I do!?" Millium exclaimed.
"In any event, everyone. You have saved five of us Star Spirits now!" Misstar smiled. "Just a few more to go! Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Misstar. Let me grant you Power that will help you along!" Then she gave them her power. "I have to go back o Star Haven for now, but if you need me, just please call on me at any time. I will be watching you all and wishing for your success. I know you'll see the princesses and Elise soon enough. Have faith. Thank you again for saving me. Oh but before I go. Marianne, may I speak with you privately?"
"Huh? Oh um… yes." Marianne nodded and then she and Misstar separated from the group only for a few steps. "Um… Is there something you wanted to talk to me?"
"Just a few things before I go. I'm glad Sothis was able to tell you that you are not even cursed to begin with. Even your bloodline from what happened Maurice. Although I am sorry for your loss. But please remember Marianne, that your parents love you and always wish for you to be happy. That was their final wish. But make sure not to overuse your crests, okay."
"Yes, of course. Thank you, Misstar." Marianne nodded as she smile.
"My pleasure dear. You're a strong girl Marianne, don't let people like Lava Piranha get the better of you. Remember that strength comes for us all. I'll be watching over you and everyone else. Take care." Misstar wink and then she floated away.
"Ready to go Marianne?" Byleth asked as everyone group up.
"Yes, Professor Byleth." Marianne giggled.
"Misstar is one amazing spirit indeed." Petra smiled as she look up. "Let us be off."
"Right." Everyone nodded and then they begin to walk away.
"Wait…" Sylvain stopped. "Aren't we missing someone?"
The group stopped and look at each other. Then… "LEVI!" The Party turn to Levi who is still unconscious. The group quickly ran to him and then pick him up. Levi was groaning.
"Took you long enough…" Levi groaned
"Sorry Levi." Rean sweatdrop as everyone else nodded in apology.
Meanwhile in Peach's castle...
(Paper Mario ost - Hang in there Peach!)
"Ugggh… I'm so boored." Alfin sighed as she lay on Peach's bed with Eevee on her stomach. "Can't we do something?"
"It would have been nice if they given us something entertaining." Elise sighed while petting Oddish and Chikorita.
"Anyone else feel like sneaking out?" Peach asked.
"Aye." The girls and Twink answered with their arms up.
"Then let's be off." Peach said as she did the usual thing and she, the girls and Twink with the pokemon begin to head to the room and then to the next room where the Koopatral are patrolling.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Stealthy Snoop)
The girls and twink and pokemon sneak their way back to the first floor and then get close to the edge. Looking around and then begin to head to the door on the left. Once they arrived, Peach heard voices inside and then see a Koopatrol and Hammer Bros arguing.
(BGM ended)
"And I'm telling YOU that we still need one more player!" A Koopatrol shouted
"I already TOLD you, I ask everyone! But everyone busy patrolling!" The Hammer Bro stated.
"And HOW are we gonna play then!?"
"Play what?" Peach asked as the two turn.
"Wha- Princess Peach, Princess Alfin and Elise are here?! Seriously! How do you keep doing that?!"
"Wait! One of them can play!" The Hammer bro said. "After all, we need another player."
"Okay, then I voted for Princess Alfin!" Another Hammer bro said.
"But I vote for Lady Elise." Said the Koopatrol."
"I vote for Princess Peach." Said the other Hammer Bro.
"Choose one damn it!"
"We already cast our vote!"
"Rock Paper scissors?"
"Yeah!"
"Rock paper scissors!" The three play the rock paper scissor game and then the Hammer bro who voted for Alfin lost.
"Doh!" The Hammer bro palmface.
"Rock Paper Scissors!" And the duo play it and the Koopatrol lost.
"Oh damn it."
"Yay! Okay, you're in Princess. Let's do it!" The Hammer Bro cheered.
"Okay?" Peach title her head as she and the girls, Twink and pokemon went into an impromptu game show-like area.

"What the-?" Alfin blicked.
"A game show?" Elise asked
"Welcome one and all! Welcome to our 64th Trivia Quiz Show! Featuring by Koopa Corps!" Campanella's voice called out as the audience cheered.
"Wait is this live?" Alfin blicked again
"I'm guessing they have time to put this together." Elise sweatdrop.
"And I'll be your handsome and generous host," Then Campanella appeared holding a microphone and a different outfit then the one he was usually in. He's wearing a white suit with black and red strip pants, a red bow o his neck and star shape shirt, and a white fedora hat."Campanella the Fool!" The Audience cheered loudly as Campanella introduce himself. "I hope you're all as excited as I am! Because this show is going to be a blast! Let the 64th Trivia Quiz-show commence!" Campanella then teleported in the stand. "Okay, here are the rules. I will ask 10 questions and the contestant who get the most right answers win the game! And whoever wins get a fabulous prize! But since I'm so generous. We'll also be giving prizes just for participating, so that everyone can win. Ready? Then let's go!" Campanella snap his finger and then the Large TV revealed the question. "Question 1. Who is Mario's favorite girl of all time? Is it?" Campanella then turn to the TV and reveal 4 answer choices. "A: Princess Daisy? B: Pauline C: Princess Peach or D: Corrin?"
Peach press the button first.
"Princess Peach, what's your answer?"
"It's me… Hopefully."
"Correct! Everyone knows Mario love his Peachy girl." Campanella chuckled as the audience cheered and answer for Princess Peach grow larger and rainbow shown on the background and confetti as part of it.
Peach blushed with a sign of relief. 'Thank Goddess.'
'Aww, Peach is so lucky.' Alfin giggled.
'She truly is.' Elise smiled.

"Princess, your answer?" Campanella asked.
"Easy, it Ashen Demon." Peach answered.
"Coooorrect!" Campanella announced as the audience cheered and Ashen Demon answered grow larger and rainbow background while confetti was also on background in the TV. "Byleth is known the Ashen Demon because he fears no death. He strikes the enemy with no hesitation and emotions. Like a murderous doll."
The Koopatrol gulped. "I should stay away from that guy."
"Ooh, how Interesting." Alfin giggled.
"Question 3." Campanella said and turn to the TV and reveal the question. "Who is the Goddess of Fodlan." Then reveal 4 slots of answers. "Is it A: Rhea? B: Sothis: C: Cethleann or D: Seiros?"

The Koopatrol hit the button
"Oran, what's your answer?"

"Correct!" Campanella announced as the audience cheered. "The next Star Spirit is in a land called Flower Field in the Mushroom Kingdom. Where it's full of flowers. Waaaait. This is crucial information. Are you sure you be revealing that?"
"No worry Lord Campanella. Besides, how can Princess Peach, Princess Alfin or Elise can tell the Mario bros or anyone else really? We're way up in the sky and they know they can't escape. So there's no way they can communicate with them." A Hammer Bro said.
"Well I suppose so you're right.. Very well, I'll allow it." Campanella shrug. "Anyway, let's move on to questioooon!" Campanella said and the next question appeared in the TV. "Question 5. What is the national emblem of Erebonia. Is it A: Black and White Owl? B: Green Fairy. C: Red and Yellow Sun, or D: Golden Stallion?"

In fact, I grow a fan of pokemon with a friend of mine. Don't you just love them? Even I have some pokemon. Especially my favorite Type. But let's move on, shall we?"
'I know I love my pokemon.' Alfin thought.
'I'm glad I meet mine.' Elise thought
'Maybe I should get a pokemon too.' Peach thought
"Question 7: Who is Byleth dating. Ooh~ Interesting. Is it: A: Edelgard B: Yuri: C: Dorothea, Or D: Linhardt?"
A Koopatrol press the button.
"Oran?"
"Oh! Oh! Dorothea!" The Koopatrol answered
"Buzz! Wrong! Sorry Oran. Jokes on you." Campanella giggled.
"Wait, seriously? I thought I was sure!"
Peach press the button.
"Princess?"
"It's Yuri." Peach answered
"Correctamodo! The Famous Ashen Demon is dating a man name Yuri. Though I can't blame him. Yuri has quite the face. And is an interesting man with many skills. A pity I couldn't invite him to Ouroboros. He'll make a fine Enforcer."
'Which is good.' Peach, Alfin and Elise thought.
"Question 8!" Campanella turn to the TV. "How to get to Flower Field?"
Then Princess Peach press the button first.
"Princess Peach?"
"Oh, I know this one. To get to Flower Field, you need to pass through the Flower Gate. But in order to do that, you'll need Bub-ulb seeds from different parts of the area. Of course, there are other way to get to Flower Field like walking or catching a train, but everyone likes to use the shortcut with the warp pipe to Flower Fields. However, due to some flowers withering, it's been sealed for now." Peach answered with a smile
"Coooorrect! I should expect nothing less from you Princess." Campanella clapped as the audience cheering.
"I do run this kingdom after all." Peach giggled.
'As expected of Princess Peach.' Elise thought
'Man I really should update my knowledge.' A Hammer Bro. Thought.
"Don't lose hopes folks! Now for our 9th question!" Campanella smirked and then turn to the TV. "Question 9. Which pokemons has the power to expand the whole world? Is it A: Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf? B: Dialga, Palkia and Giratina? C: Tornadus, Thundurus and Landorus or D: Groudon and Kyogre?"
"Wait! Such pokemon exist?!" A Koopatrol asked
Peach press the button.
"Princess?"
"The answer to that is Groudon and Kyogre. Groudon has the power to expand continents while Kyogre has the power to expand the ocean. Making both of them capable of expanding the world." Peach answered
"Another score for the princess and score for the Pokemon! Aren't Pokemon amazing?" Campanella clapped while the audience cheering.
"Those two pokemon can expand the world? Oh, my word!" Alfin gasped.
"I think those pokemons are like Gods." Elise gulp.
"All right everyone! Get ready for the final question off them all! Are you all ready? Then let's Go!" Campanella smirked and turn to the TV with the question. "Question 10! In the Officer's Academy, how many student houses are there? Is it A: 3. B: 4 C: 5 or D: 7?"
Then the Koopatrol pressed
"Let's hear your answer Oran."
"Oh it's 7!" The Koopatrol answered
"Aww, so sorry, but that one is wrong." Campanella giggled.
Then Hammer Bro press the button.
"Miles, let's hear it." Campanella said.
"Oh! I got this one! It's 3!" The Hammer Bro answered
"Wrong answer." Campanella chuckled.
"Wait, What?! I was sure of it!"
Peach pressed the button. "The answer is 4. Black Eagles for people from the Adrestia Empire, Blue Lions from the Holy Kingdom of Faerghus, Golden Deer for Leicester Alliance, and the Ashen Wolves who live in Abyss."
"Correct! It's true about those three houses. But the Ashen Wolves are a pseudo-house in Abyss with the hopes of giving them a somewhat proper education like the students above them. However, somewhere along the way in that church, it became corrupted and it has been forgotten. Poor little wolves."
"Aww. It must have been tough for them." The Hammer Bro said.
"And that's a wrap everyone!" Campanella clapped. "Today's winner for the 64TH Trivia Quiz-Off iiiiiiiiis…. our unexpected guest, Princess Peach!"
"All right! You did it Peach!" Alfin clapped as Twink cheered
"You're so amazing Princess Peach!" Elise clapped as the pokemon cheered.
"And here's your prize! The Sneaky Parasol!" Koopatrol said, giving her the Sneaky Parasol.
"Oooh, I've heard about this!" Peach grinned. "Thanks!" She said… and then the doors slammed open.
"What the heck is going on in here!" Bowser asked
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario ost - Angry Bowser)
"Oh, we just wrapped up our quiz show." Campanella answered
"Oh, you did? And you didn't invite me? I'm great at quizzes!" Bowser said. "Also… Why are they here?"
"Can't a prisoner have some fun too?" Peach asked.
"And we got bored." Alfin added
"And she win against a few of your men. She's pretty smart." Campanella said.
"…Really, is that so?" Bowser asked and shoved Peach back into the booth.
"Hey!"
"We'll see who's the smarter one! This blondie or yours truly!" Bowser said. "I'm the smartest Koopa there is, there's no way I'll lose to this lady!"
"…Oh, you're on." Peach said. "Give us your best shot!"
"…Right. Anyway, let's do another round!"
One obvious outcome later…
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAT?!" Bowser yelled. "How could I lose against the princess?!"
"I may not have your strength, Bowser… but I can beat you mentally. I believe the saying is 'brains over brawn'."
"NO, IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND! GIVE ME ANOTHER ROUND!"
"If you say so." Campanella shrug as he change appearance with a school boy.
"Why did you change clothes?" Bowser eyebrow.
Another obvious outcome later…
"GRRRR!"
"Well, you can't win them all." Campanella said with a different outfit. This one is eastern style and has a fan covering his lips while looking the other way.
"Try all you like Bowser. You're not going to win." Peach said as she walked away… but Bowser grabbed her.
"Oh no you don't! You're NOT leaving to your room until I beat you for once!"
Another outcome later…
"OH COME ON!" Bowser yelled.
Peach giggled "Had enough Bowser?"
"No! We're doing another one! Here and now!"
"Your Majesty… I know that hosting quizzes show is my favorite thing to do. But this is getting ridiculous." Campanella sighed as he wear a different outfit again. He wear sort of formal attire with rose behind him.
"Seriously. What is with you and changing your appearance? Oh never mind! We're not going anywhere until I win! NOW START THE SHOW!" Bowser shout.
"Oh boy…"
Elise sighed. "I'm afraid we're gonna be here for a while."
"Yup…" Alfin nodded and the pokemon nodded.
Ha! I figure this is Campanella's favorite thing to do so why not? And poor Bowser, strength is one thing but Wisdom... not so much. And good for Marianne, yeah?
