(Paper Mario ost - Clouds over Flower Field)

"Okay, so our next step is to find the Fertile Soil and Miracle Water. But where should we go?" Yuri asked.

"Hmm… maybe we should head this way." Mercedes look at the west-south road.

"Okay, then let's see what this road has to offer." Byleth said and the group walked the road until they stumbled upon a white gate with a red flower guarding it.

"Hey look at that. A red flower." Dorothea said.

"Hello, Strangers. What do you think of my bright red coloring? Isn't it nice?" The Red Flower asked.

"Oh of course. Don't you look radiant as a red rose."

"Aww, shucks. Thank you."

"I apologize for interrupting but would you mind letting us pass through the gate?" Lorenz asked

"Nope. Sorry, I can't. Buuut, if you have something good to eat. I'll make an exception."

"Oh. How about these?" Emma pulled out a Red Berries.

The Red Flower took the Red Berries and eat them. "Oh, delicious! Ooh so full of flavor! All right, go through." Then the flower open the gate.

They walk through the gate and then Elliot spotted a Yellow Berries from a tree and took it. Soon the party arrived at a wellspring like area saw a lily underneath a crystal tree.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Grateful Flower Posie)

"Whoa! Is that a tree… made out of crystals?!" Machias exclaimed

"Oh my goodness. It's absolutely beautiful! Unlike anything I seen before." Manuela smiled

"Isn't it?" The lily smiled. "Hello, My name Posie." She said

"Amazing!" Ignatz appeared out of Byleth's pocket. "Those gleaming sparks, those dazzling gems hanging on it's branches. It's almost as like I'm staring at the wellspring of all jewels."

"Ohohoho! Oh, I like you."

"I must agree. The Crystal tree is like the brightest star of the land." Lorenz smiled.

"Ooh… I just have to sketch it! If that's all right?" Ignatz asked as his eye is sparking.

"Why certainly. I always welcome admirers." Posie answered with a smile.

"Seriously. I could stare at it all day long. It certainly bewitching." Hilda giggled.

"Yes, it's beautiful work of nature. But don't forget why we come here, everyone." Sara said.

"Oh right. Excuse us Posie, but we happen to ask you a question. Do you happen to know where we can get Fertile Soil and Miracle Water?" Rean asked

"Of course. The Fertile Soil you can get it from here. Would you like some?" Posie asked

"Yes, we would like that very much." Elliot answered

"Okay. Here you go." Posie then handed them the Fertile Soil.

"Thank you… now all we need is the Miracle Water." Jusis said.

"For the Miracle Water, you just need to exit here and go Southeast, you'll find the Miracle Water from Lily in her pond. You can't miss it!"

"Thank you for the info. Take care Posie" Hilda wink.

"You as well!"

"Aww, but I just start sketching." Ignatz frown.

"Here's an idea. Listen up everyone, while we're here on a journey, please write down things you want to do before we go back to Fodlan." Byleth said.

"Yes, Professor!" Garreg Mach students nodded and some begin to take notes as they walked off and Ignatz jump into Byleth's pocket.

(Resuming Clouds Over Flower Fields)

"My, the students certainly are enjoying themselves." Seteth said.

"I'll say. It feels wonderful to see them smile." Manuela smiled as they walked together where they saw a Yellow talking plant with the same gate.

"Good Day everyone. It' great to see you all." The Yellow Flower greeted. "I'm the guard of this gate. I must tell you, though, I don't let many people through. But I do have excellent taste in food. If you can bring me something delicious, I'll let you all through."

"Oh, how about this?" Elliot pull out some yellow berries and gave them to the Yellow Flower.

"Thank you." The Yellow Flower said and then begin to much them. "Ooh! Delicious! Marvelous! The sweet subtle favor with a delicate finish! And the color too! It reminds me of the warm sunlight I yearn for. Okay, off you go." Then the Yellow Flower open the gate and they pass through. Then they arrive at the thorny part.

"Well… this is a problem." Dimitri said. "I don't see how we can get across."

"Hmm… Emma, Celine, can you help me?" Levi asked.

"Of course." Emma nodded

"Fine." Celine sighed.

The three of them cast their combined magic and then a magic circle appeared underneath the party and then begin to move and floated through the thorny vines.

"Whoa! How are you guys doing that?" Hilda asked

"Magic." The three of them answered.

"Oh, yeah, obviously. Still, that's rather impressive!"

"The Magic is very different from Fodlan for certain." Seteth said.

Then they arrived at the end of the thorny vines and into the surface and resume walking. Gaius stop and see Blue Berries. He pick them up and join the others. They arrive into a dry pond area

"Oh my. What happened to water here?" Emma asked.

"Something must have happened here." Millium said.

"This feels… unsettling…" Elliot trailed off.

"Yeah. We should ask the caretaker here and see what happen." Machias nodded as they were walking around.

"I've never seen ponds dried up like this." Edelgard sadden

"Agreed. It's rather depressing." Dimitri said as they walked deeper into the pond… and then they heard someone daydreaming as they went to see a dried-up water lily named Lily.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Grateful Flower Lily)

"Gaaaah! Oh, how horrible! The Spring went dry! What a tragedy… Oh, this can't be happening to me! Not too dear poor Lily! Somebody! Those horrible things that ride the clouds took our precious Water Stone! Oh the water flows from that magical Water Stone… Without it, the spring will never recover… Oh and I'll wither up if I can't float on the water! I'll be crushed by my own weight and wither… Oh, woe is me! Woe dear sweet Lilly! No, wait! Don't give up, Lily! Perhaps a handsome prince will arrive and help you soon!"

"Um… excuse me?" Levi called out.

"Oh!" Lily turned around and saw Levi, Rean, Elliot, Jusis, Gaius, Dimitri, Claude, Seteth, Yuri and Byleth. "Oh my! So many princes come to help poor Lily!" She cheered. Then see the girls and woman. "Accompany by some lovely women and with a cat." Then Machias, Lorenz, And the Mario bros before turning around. "I wasn't expecting two plumbers and a possible some weird guy and a nerd. Eh, I'll accept because there are so many princes here." She whispered, unaware of the others hearing this.

Levi covered his mouth because he was so close to laughing hard, joined by Claude while Machias jawdrop and frowned, and Lorenz just Jaw dropped.

"Should we tell her that she's whispering loudly?" Alisa asked in a whisper.

"I think it's best not to." Emma sweatdrop while looking at the jawdrop Machias and Lorenz.

"Should we tell her that the two of us are already taken with each other, my prince?" Yuri smirked in a whisper.

"Let's keep in her fantasy imagination." Byleth whisper with a smile.

"I'm not sure if she mention I'm here." Dedue hummed.

The water lily turned around again. "Hello, my name's Lily. I'm a beautiful, fragile flower who lives in this spring."

"If we may ask, What happen to the Spring?" Edelgard asked

"I'm glad you ask because this is the part of me asking you all for a favor. My pond's all dried up and the Water Stone was taken away by horrid creatures who ride the clouds! Last I saw them, they took off west from here. Could you get the Water Stone back from them?"

"Of course. We'll get back the Water Stone." Dedue answered.

"Thank you! Oh my... You're one tough man. Yeah, they're definitely going to get it now. Teehee."

(BGM ended)

(Resuming Clouds over Flower Field)

'I think that was a compliment.' Dedue thought as they took off by returning back to where they arrived by doing the same thing they did back and forth to where they arrived. Then head to the second path and then they saw a blue flower.

"Ugggggh… I'm so hungry…" The Blue Flower muttered. "I'm so tired of guarding this stupid old gate… and I'm so hungry."

'I feel like the Gatekeeper I know in Garreg Mach wouldn't like this one…' Byleth thought.

"You're hungry? Would you like to try these?" Gaius asked as he pull out some blueberries and give them to the Blue flower.

"This? Hmm… I'll try…" The Blue Flower then munches. "Better not taste gross." Then he swallow it. "Ooh! Now that's the good stuff! I'm filled with hope once more!"

"Would it be all right if we can go through now?"

"Of certainly! I'll forget you!" The Blue Flower answered and open the gate they walked through the gate… and soon found themselves in front of a hedge maze, and then saw two Lakitus talking.

"Ugh, I can't believe you drop it here of all places! I knew I shouldn't let you keep it!"

"Oh shut up! I didn't mean to drop it! Curse my clumsiness!"

"Huff n' Puff is gonna have our cloud if we don't find it!"

"Well, keep looking, it's gotta be around here somewhere! If we don't find it, we won't be able to increase the power of Puff Puff Machine!"

"…Hey, isn't that Mario and his friends?"

"Oh? Oh, it is! Okay, scratch that… we take care of them and then find the Water Stone."

"Right!"

The two of them charged right at the gang, only to get pitifully destroyed by them and were launched away… and then they walked into the hedge maze, and got horribly split up along the way. Leaving Byleth and Yuri alone.

"Well, looks like it's just the two of us." Yuri smirked before he wrap his arms around Byleth's neck."While we wait… why don't we have some privacy alone?"

"Are you sure? The others may be out." Byleth asked as he wrap his arms around Yuri's waist.

"They'll be fine. If they made it out. We'll follow them." Yuri said and he and Byleth were going to lean in for a hot and passionate kiss.

"Except you're not actually alone here." Hapi said in Byleth's voice as they both flinched.

"Gah! Damn it Hapi! Forgot the rest of you are in his pocket." Yuri muttered while blushing.

"Dear me Yuri. How could you possible forget about us?" Constance asked in Byleth's pocket.

"Sheesh, you two were going for the hot and heavy moment huh? Man, I wanted to do that with a fine woman, am I right?" Balthus said in Byleth's pocket

"I know what you mean my friend, I know what you mean." Sylvain said in Byleth's pocket.

"Ugh. Men." Ingrid scoff in Byleth's pocket.

"Hey! Don't log us with those too!" Caspar said in Byleth's pocket.

"Would you guys keep it down? I'm trying to nap." Linhardt said in Byleth's pocket.

"That's all you been doing Linhardt." Leonie said in Byleth's pocket.

"If you're done flirting with each other, get a move on already." Felix said in Byleth's pocket.

"Um… Bernadetta... what are you doing exactly?" Marianne asked in Byleth's pocket.

"Oh, just writing the things I wanted to do." Bernadetta answered in Byleth's pocket.

"Hmm… I wonder if I get the chance to see that mighty Water Spirit… I mean… Pokemon." Petra wondered in Byleth's pocket.

"Perhaps I should borrow that encyclopedia Levi has." Hubert hummed in Levi's pocket. "Still. I'm concern Lady Edelgard safety with that hedge maze."

"This certainly is a tricky maze." Seteth said over Byleth and Yuri with Flayn on his Wyvern. "It was a good thing I brought my Wyvern here.

"Although I'm missing out on the fun…" Flaynn sighed.


With Edelgard...

Edelgard is with her fellow House Leaders as Dimitri is riding on his horse with Edelgard with Claude behind him.

"Are you feeling all right Edelgard?" Dimitri asked.

"I'm perfectly fine. I honestly don't see why I should ride with you." Edelgard said.

"It's only natural that I would give you a ride."

"But aren't you concerned your girlfriend will give you the wrong idea?" Claude smirked.

Dimitri sighed. "Claude, you know I wouldn't do something like that to Brianna. What's more, I'm just giving Edelgard a ride so we wouldn't be lost."

"Still, you have to admit, you and Brianna are a perfect couple. Though it's a shame she couldn't come here." Edelgard said.

Claude chuckled. "I bet Sylvain wonder how you manage to get Professor Byleth's smoking hot sister to be your girlfriend."

"Claude, please…" Dimitri sighed as he blushed.

"Everyone, I found the exit!" Dorothea called out to them as they quickly found their way to the exit and they walked over to see a rose.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Grateful Flower Rosie)

"Oh, hello. It's been ages since I've had visitors. I'm Rosie, a Rose Spirit. I'm ever so glad to meet you all. Here I'm in my full bloom and nobody came to look at me. Admire my beauty! Aren't I gorgeous? Breathtaking, aren't I?"

They sweatdropped.

"Breathtaking indeed. As a man who admires roses, I've never met a lovely and beautiful rose such as yourself. Your beauty would put other flowers to shame." Lorenz answered

"Oh, you think so? You're so honest and charming. I bet you're quite the handsome man, aren't you?"

"Naturally. I'm somewhat of a ladies' man myself, my lady."

"Teehee. I like you. And because I like you, I'll show you this." She said, pulling out the Water Stone as their eyes widened.

"Holy… isn't that?" Yuri eye widen.

"Beautiful isn't it? I found it just the other day when some strange creature on clouds dropped it."

"We need that stone!" Mario said.

"Huh? What for?" She asked.

"For Lily. The pond is dried up and Lily is gonna die if we don't give it to her." Luigi said.

"Oh, I see… Lily is all dried up and needs this stone in order to survive." Rosie pondered this before laughing. "Meh, she lived a good life anyway."

"Okay, now that's just cold!" Machias exclaimed by the shock of this flower had said. The others were just as shocked as he was. "Isn't she your fellow flower?"

"Fellow Flower she may be, but she thinks she's all prettier than me, and I think it'd be best if I had no competition." She said. "No flower is truly more beautiful than I am. This stone is something else and I'm keeping it. But tell you what, if you could try to find something prettier than this, trade that for this. I highly doubt you would find such a thing."

"Actually, there is something else. Be right back if you would." Seteth said as he flew off somewhere.

"Where do you think he's going?" Sara asked as the others shrug,

(BGM paused)


With Seteth...

(Paper Mario ost - Grateful Flower Posie)

"Excuse me. Miss Posie?" Seteth asked as he approach Posie.

"Yes? Oh, it's you from before. How can I help you?" Posie asked

"You wouldn't to have something beautiful within the Crystal Tree? You see, we need to find something more beautiful than the Water Stone miss Rosie possesses. We need that stone for the sake of miss Lily."

"I see. I swear that woman. Rosie really love beautiful things above all else. She's a little self-involved."

"Indeed she is…"

"Still, I'll help you. This tree and I are connected by our roots. Maybe one of two Crystal Berries will fall down if I shake the roots."

"Understood. I hope it doesn't harm your good health." Seteth said.

"It will be all right. Now then." Posie said and then she begin to shake the ground or the roots. And then dropped from the tree are eight Crystal Berries. "Phew. My, you're certainly lucky Sir. Eight crystal berries have dropped.

"Goodness. Berries made out of crystals. Truly this Kingdom truly holds such mysteries and fascinating things. Are you sure I should take them?"

"Of course. I'm honestly surprised I managed to drop this much. You can give one of them to Rosie while the rest you can do whatever you please. Think of it as a souvenir."

"I see. Thank you miss Posie. You were a tremendous help." Seteth smiled as he pick them up.

"You're most welcome. Rosie should be more than satisfied with that berry." Posie giggled

"Indeed." Seteth replied and then hope on his Wyvern and flew back to the party.

(BGM ended)


Back to the party...

(Resuming Grateful Flower Rosie)

Seteth soon return and climbed off his Wyvern and handed Rosie a Crystal Berry. "Would this be acceptable?"

"Oooh, that's so pretty! I love it! That's much better than this ugly old stone." Rosie grinned as she took the Crystal Berry and gave them the Water Stone. "Here, you'd better hurry back and give the stone to Lily. Let her know that I done her a favor and save her life by recovering this."

"Sure, whatever you say." Manuela said, glaring at Rosie as they took off.

(BGM eded)

(Paper Mario ost - Clouds Over Flower Field)

"Ugh! Can't you believe that woman! The nerve of her to say that!" Manuela pouted once they walk far from her ears.

"Seriously. Killing the competition? Now that's just hurtful." Sara nodded

"Agreed that her behavior is disgraceful. If she were a noble, I would find it appalling." Lorenz scoffed.

"She certainly knows how to say her thorns that's for sure." Dorothea nodded

"Hmph. Well at any rate. At least we got the Water Stone." Alisa said.

"Lily will need it. Let's hope we make it in time." Emma nodded

"Oh, yes, Professor Byleth. I forgot to give you something. Here, take these." Seteth handed over Byleth four Crystal Berries.

"Wait… aren't those?" Byleth eye widen.

"Crystal Berries, yes. Miss Posie managed to drop eight out of luck. I already have in mind on what to do with the three I possess. But these four you can have."

"Thank you Seteth… but what's this all about?"

"Consider it a thank you gift." Seteth answered

As they done the same thing to get back to Lily. Lily was happy to see the Water Stone in her hand.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Grateful Flower Lily)

"Oh, the Water Stone! You found it! Quickly! Put it in that hole there!" She ordered as Mario put the Water Stone into the hole, and water shot out, re-purifying the pond. "Oh, the water! Sweet Fresh clean water! The Spring is full of water. I'm floating again! Oh, this is paradise! Thank you so much! Here are the Miracle Water you were hoping for." She said, handing them the Miracle Water.

"Thanks!" Mario thanked her.

"This is the most nourishing water around! It's water with a little Lily extract! Teehee! If you use this Miracle Water on any plant, it'll grow like gangbusters!"

"Gangbusters?" Flaynn asked

"You know like someone take down a criminal gangs. Anyway, I wouldn't water it the plant here. There's no sun after all." Lily said.

"You're right. But how do we bring back the sun?" Gaius asked. "Plus I'm very confused on the whole ' doesn't bother to rise up," part."

"Agreed. The Sun is a star that is beyond our control as well." Jusis nodded

"Ahh… I see why you guys are confused. True I can't deny the actual sun is beyond control. But that's not all true."

"What do you mean?" Seteth asked

"Well I heard there are gods capable of controlling the sun I think. And I heard a Pokemon who can devour the sun or something. Even a powerful and ancient magic or something. That's all I know so far. Still. Good luck with finger things out. You guys did save me after all"

"Thank you." Levi said as they took off.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Clouds Over Flower Field)

"A Pokemon that can devour the sun… I don't know if this is just a fairy tale or some legend." Seteth sighed.

"I think it's possible it has the name in the Encyclopedia or my Rotom Phone. I need to look that up." Levi hummed as he was going to pull the Pokemon encyclopedia but now isn't the best time in his thought.

"Oh. Look over there." Alisa pointed at the tree that has bubbles.

"A tree with bubbles?" Flayn eye widen

"Truly this realm is beyond my understanding." Seteth sighed.

"Join the club." Machias sighed.

"Got it." Fie said as she leap to the tree, then got Bubble Berries, and then rejoin the group. Then begin to return to the place they just arrived and then begin to head the third path to the east. Then they spotted a Flower that released a huge bubble.

"A plant that… produce bubbles?" Edelgard blicked. "Makes me wonder how soap were invented."

"Hi people!" It said. "My name's Bubble Plant! Wanna know why my name Bubble Plant?"

"Because you can make bubbles?" Dorothea asked

"Yep. Do you need to across this thorny vine path? I can help you with that if you got a Bubble Berry."

"K. Here." Fie then give it the Bubble Berry.

"Okay! Get a load of this!" It said and then begin to produce a large bubble for everyone to enter.

Once they did, the bubble went over some thorny vines. They went further while also spotting some Lakitsu minding their own business so they paid no attention to them as they went deeper until they saw there was an area void of all flowers and green.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Sad Sun)

"…This is eerie." Mario said.

"No kidding." Luigi agreed.

"It looks like we arrived at a dried zone." Manuela said.

"Yeah… but it looks sad now that you think about it." Hilda nodded.

"Hmm… I feel like there's something at the top of that tower." Gaius said as he look up.

"Wonder what it is." Levi hummed.

As they walked up a tower after destroying a rock that was blocking their progress… and when they got up to the top, they saw the sun.

"Oh my! Is this… the Sun?" Mercedes asked.

"Oh my gosh! It does! But… how?" Flayn asked.

"And HOW exactly is it here?!" Machias exclaimed "Nothing about this make sense!"

"Sheesh, you're so dramatic." The Sun spoke.

"And it talks!"

"Would you please just zip it and deal with it?" Jusis sighed.

"What's the matter sunny?" Millium asked "Shouldn't you be up in the sky?"

"As you can see. I'm sad." The Sun spoke. "The clouds are too thick for me to move through because of the Puff Puff Machine that Huff n Puff built."

"Puff… Puff Machine?" Gaius raises an eyebrow

"That's the dumbest thing I've heard." Sara said "Still, if we can get rid of that Puff Puff Machine, you don't have to worry about any clouds getting in your way."

"But I'm a complete failure as a sun." The sun said."All of the plants and flowers in Flower Field are suffering because I'm not up there anymore."

"Hey don't be so hard on yourself. It wasn't your fault. It was the scoundrel who brought these clouds here and made every one of you here in Flower Field suffer." Dorothea stated

"She's right. No one blames you. The one is to blame is Bowser and his minions." Byleth nodded

"They're right. I hate to see the flowers suffering. Is there any way we can help?" Mercedes asked.

"If you really want to restore order here in Flower Land… I suggest breaking the Puff Puff Machine which is located somewhere in the east I think. The clouds seem to come from over there." The Sun answered

"Then that is where we need to go. And to punish those fiends who would put the lives of the innocents in danger." Seteth said.

"I wouldn't recommended it… but who am I to talk you out of it."

As everyone went back down and took off to find the machine…

"Oh, that poor fellow. It's like he lost his spirit." Maneula sadden.

"Bowser and his men won't' get away with it, that's for sure." Mario nodded.

"I'll be sure to give him something to worry about for all the damages he's done." Dorothea pouted.

"I highly doubt the guy will learn his lesson." Yuri said.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Lakilester the Great)

"Whoa, hey! Hold up! Slow down there!" The Lakitu said, as this particular one had a hairstyle and shades over his eyes. "You wouldn't happen to be Mario, Logenie, Class VII and the Ashen Demon, right?"

"Logenie?" Luigi raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, that'd be us." Mario said.

"Why do you ask?" Seteth asked suspiciously, already having his lance out.

"Look, I don't have a problem with you guys personally, but unfortunately, Huff n' Puff has ordered me to take you out." He said as he held up a Spiny Egg. "So… no hard feelings, alright? Oh, and by the way, the name's Lakilester… no wait, Michael, ugh no! Spike, yes that's it, Spike!" He said and raised his arm up… only a finger snap from Levi and Spike is strike by a tornado spell. "YAAAAAAAARGH!" He yelled as he immediately fell unconscious.

"That was certainly anti-climatic." Levi said.

Spike got back up. "Urgh… I'm not finish yet" He asked and attempted to pelt them with Spiny Eggs, but Laura launch a strike with her greatsword and took him down easily. "Nnngh… alright… You guys are tough as nails…."

"I'm sorry but are you clearly in your right mind?" Alisa asked. "There are like tons of us and only one of you! It's suicidal! Is your boss truly that horrible to send you alone?"

Spike chuckled. "Yeah, he is… but I give up… just get this over with. I'm not afraid of my fate.."

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!" A voice yelled as they saw a female Lakitu coming down.

"Aw no, Lukilulu!" Spike exclaimed of her arrival

"Please, have mercy on him! Lakilester didn't mean to attack you, he was just following orders!"

"Don't call me Lakilester! I told you I changed my name to Spike last month! Oh why must you always embarrass me like this… Oh it just love you even more…"

"Aww, aren't you two a cutie couple." Hilda giggled.

"I know we are. But please forgive him everyone. Huff n Puff is to blame! Not him. Huff n Puff is getting more reckless than a minute. So please forgive him."

Seteth sighed as he cross his arm. "Considering your boss is insufferable for sending only one of his men to face us as a group. I honestly don't know."

"Oh don't be a sourpuss Seteth. I say we forgive him. After all, it's clearly shown as his girlfriend pointed out. The villain is getting more reckless." Manuela smiled.

"Right. I don't know what Huff N. Buff thinking for sending one troop. But he needs to be stop." Byleth nodded

"Then it seems we're all in agreement. Plus I don't think this is a setup either." Levi nodded.

"Oh thank you, everyone! Thank you from the bottom of my heart." Lukilulu sigh with relief.

Lakilester sighed. "This whole thing is stupid. I was working for Huff N. Puff to be part of something but, all I've been doing is picking pointless fights. This isn't what I wanted in life. That reminds me, what are you guys fighting for?"

"Well many of us have reasons. But we're join together to not only rescue Princess Peach and the rest of Bowser's captives. Punishing Bowser, but also wish to explore the Mushroom Kingdom during our field trip." Edelgard answered

"That and there is someone we have a score with too. Someone in Bowser's castle is waiting for us." Levi added

"Sounds cool" Lukilster said.

Lakilulu giggled. "I'm glad you're thinking that way. In fact, can I ask you all something. Can you please have him tag along with you?"

"Sure, I guess." Mario shrugged.

"Yay! He knows where the Puff Puff machine is located so he can help you destroy it!" Lakilulu said.

"Well, I suppose gaining the information the enemy has would be beneficial." Lorenz said.

"Okay, make room people!" Susie said as she jump into Mario's pocket.

"Please come back to Me Lakilester. If you don't. I will-" "Okay Okay, don't worry. I'll come back. Promise."

Then Lukilulu kiss her boyfriend's cheeks and then flew away.

(Paper Mario ost - Clouds Over Flower Fields)

"You're a lucky fellow." Fie said.

"I am, aren't I?" Lakilester chucked as he scratch his cheek and blushed.

And then they begin to return to the way they were in and then begin to head to the first road on the east. Then they sound a tricky staircase but Levi, Emma and Celine use their powers to get across the highest points. They walk the path and then arrived at the area of the Puff Puff machine.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Puff Puff Machine)

"Keep working!" A Yellow Magikoopa ordered three Lakitus. "Sooner or later, Huff 'n Puff will rule over this pathetic land… and then the Mushroom Kingdom!" He said and then Byleth punched the machine. "Hey easy! Easy! This thing is delicate, y'know!" Another punch. "I SAID TAKE IT EASY!"

One more punch.

"WHAT DID I JUST TELL-" He spotted the gang. "…Uh oh." He sweatdropped.

"Sup!" Lakilester said.

"Get them!" Byleth command as they quickly defeated them before they could try to attack… Once they been dealt with. They turn their eyes on the Machine.

"So this is the Puff Puff Machine. I admit. It's well designed." Alisa said. "I'm curious about the Blueprints on how they make it."

"Wanted to cover the clouds in the sky Alisa?" Levi tease.

"No! I'm just saying!"

"Oh, found it." Millium called out and found a Blue Print of the Puff Puff Machine.

"Okay, let's destroy it." Alisa said as they proceeded to destroy the machine. Once they finally broke it.

(Paper Mario ost - Flower Field Sunshine)

"We did it!" Elliot cheered.

"Finally, those clouds were really dropping the gloomy atmosphere." Machias said.

"Oh… Everyone, look." Alisa called out and everyone look at the true Flower Field.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Flower Field Rondo)

Flowers rising to the air, Grass Pokemon and Digletts, and Dugtrio appear and enjoy the true nature return. Flowers are sparking. The meadow is flowing with beautiful flowers.

"This is absolutely breathtaking! It truly is the sea of flowers." Edelgard smiled.

"Oh it makes me so happy to see the flowers are smiling again." Mercedes smiled.

"Yes. Many flowers are safe. Joy has return." Dedue smiled.

"Haha! What a magnificent scene! Witnesses the beauty of nature before your very eyes is something I will remember." Lorenz smiled

"Oh, this is truly a beautiful place. Oh, I could gaze at it all day." Flayn smiled

"Yes. I must agree. Flower Field earn its name well." Seteth smiled

"This sounds like a perfect place for a date, hmm?" Yuri lay his head on Byleth shoulder.

"Yeah, it truly is." Byleth said, wrap his arm on Yuri's shoulder.

"Yeah. Edel will definitely love this place." Fie nodded.

"It truly is breathtaking." Ignatz said as he appeared out of Byleth's pocket. "I could sketch the entire field all day long. For someone to bring the clouds and ruin the beauty of this land would be a madman!"

"Beauty…" Levi close his eyes. "Ohh… Do you guys think Bleublanc would be here?"

"Ugh, not him again. If he's here, I swear…" Alisa muttered

"Who's Bleublanc?" Dorothea asked

"He's Ouroboros Enforcer No. X. He's an infamous Phantom Thief. But he's also a twisted man when it comes to beauty. Imagine him saying he wish to rob all the beauty of Flower Field by burning this place to ashe." Levi answered

"Oh my…" Ignatz gasped.

"He truly sounds like a Madman!" Edelgard exclaimed

"That's Bleublanc for you. He tried to do the same to my homeland." Gaius muttered.

"Let's hope he isn't here." Rean sighed as Ignatz jump back into Byleth's pocket.

"And with that, we can plant the seeds." Manuela said.

"Agreed. Dedue." Dimitri turn to him.

"Yes, Your Highness." Dedue nodded.

"Well, let's take out Huff 'n Puff then!" Mario said as they nodded and took off, and kept walking to where Wisterwood was at.

(BGM paused)

(Paper Mario ost - Growing Beanstalk)

They stopped with Dedue put some dirt and proceeded to plant the seed, then put some of the soil in and then watered it, and then a massive beanstalk rose to the top of the sky.

(BGM ended)

(Resuming Paper Mario ost - Flower Field Rondo)

"Ohohoh! Success! Look at that sprout! Now you can go up to Cloudy Climb. Best of luck, everyone" Wisterwood cheered "Hmm… My spot seems to be getting less and less sunny…" He quietly muttered then. "How disappointing"

"I'm honestly surprised how much this beanstalk has grow." Dimitri said while looking up.

"Edel is so not going to believe this." Fie said with a grin on her face.

"But are you sure this thing can take all of us? Including the horses?" Claude asked.

Levi step into the leaf. He jump on it. And seem very study. "Try yours Claude?"

"Okay hold up. I don't think it's a good idea." Claude flinched

"Come on, it'll be fine. I'll catch you with my magic." Levi chuckled.

Claude sighed. "If you say so."

Claude and his horse went to the leaf and nothing happen. No squish either. Soon the whole group begin to take in and then now the Leaf begin to move and go all the way up into the sky. Once they finally reach the top. They arrived at Cloudy Climb.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Cloudy Climb)

"Wow. I'm actually surprised right now." Claude said. "One is that the leaf actually carry all of us here. Second, we're actually standing on the clouds."

"I must agree… this is not what I expected." Dimitri nodded

"But this place look so beautiful. Even in the sky." Flayn giggled. "But it's a shame it's being occupied by our foe."

"Let us be off. And face this foe. So that he can receive our punishment." Seteth said

"Agreed. It's time I teach that scumbag a thing or two." Manuela nodded

Then they begin to walk on the clouds.

"Wow. So this is what it feels like to walk on the clouds." Dorothea smiled

"I wonder how walking on clouds is possible." Lorenx said.

"Seriously. But I think I get how the Goddess watches over us. The people below look like tiny ants from up here." Hilda said

They soon came upon a huge cloudy arena with a more darker cloud resting.

"Is that it?" Gaius asked, as he and everyone brought out their weapons.

"Yeah, that must be it." Rean said as they walked closer to the darker cloud.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Huff N. Puff)

"You!" The dark puff of cloud spoke. "You dare make a mess of my plans?! You dare come to Cloudy Climb to gloat?!"

"That's right you lump of coal! How dare you try to ruin Flower Field and make everyone unhappy!" Manuela growled. "You're Huff N. Puff, right? Oh, you have no idea how many of us want to meet you in person."

"You have some nerve tormenting the innocent live of the flower folk below. Clearly, you're just as monstrous as King Bowser for all the damages you've done." Seteth growled

"MONSTEROUS?! You dare claim ME MONSTEROUS?! I can't expect a group of fools' intellect to understand."

"Excuse us!? Fools?! You think causing the flowers in Flower Field to suffer would be some sort of benevolence to you?!" Dorothea growled.

"How heartless of you! Turning a beautiful place such as Flower Field into a place of doom and gloom." Hilda pouted.

"We don't care what sort of paradise you have in mind in your twisted mind of yours. Making the people suffer is that of a mind of a barbarian. You have no right to claim over this land!" Lorenz added

"Ha! You think this is about right? Imbecile! My goal was to turn this sunlight-blasted place into a cloud-covered paradise! And now that you RUIN it, you're all going- SPIKE, IS THAT YOU?!"

"Yo."

"You filthy traitor… You will be punished."

"No. We're the ones going to punish you." Dedue glared and brought his Axe. "This is for the flowers, plant and all down below. Prepare to be brought to justice, Huff N. Puff."

"And we take back the Star Spirit. So I hope you're prepared to pay dearly for your times." Levi smiled

"I was given this Star Spirit by King Bowser. I'll never give it up to the likes of you. I will make sure that NONE of you make it out alive!" The cloud boomed and then popped out of the clouds, revealing that it was indeed Huff n' Puff.

"Let's do this everyone!" Rean said.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Huffin' and Puffin')

Levi throw his Glaive while Gaius use Gale Stringer, while Emma and Elliot uses Arts to target Huff'N'Puff and a few Ruff Puff came out.

"YAAAAH!" Huff N' Puff yelled as he attempted to punch Flayn and Manuela but they jumped out of the way who counter-attacked by casting their White Magic at Huff N' Puff, as a few Ruff Puffs came out of him.

"Hey Goombario, Mind tattling on this guy?" Claude asked as he shoot an arrow along with Alisa from a distance.

"On it!" Goombario came out of Mario's pocket and used the Tattle ability on him. "Ah, I see! If you attack him, Ruff Puffs will come out and make him weaker… but that doesn't mean he isn't a pushover. He's got 60 health with an attack power of five and zero defense. He can heal himself by sucking those Ruff Puffs back."

"Ooh. I just got a scheme that just might work." Claude smirked. "Hey everyone, focus on taking out those Ruff Puff so he won't heal himself!

"Ha! A good plan to me!" Alisa smirked

"Count me in!" Lakilester said, lobbing Spiny Eggs at the Ruff Puffs.

"Oh, I need to slap someone so this will be fun." Bow laughed and ready her fan to strike Huff N Puff!

"Grr!" Huff n' Puff attempted to blow them away by blowing wind, as they tried to stay strong until Claude shoot an arrow at Huff N' Puff to stop him. "Agh!" He cried.

Claude then gallop all over the arena and shooting arrows while Alisa did the same on foot. Dimitri and Lorenz launch some jab attack as they ride through the arena. Seteth swirls his lance and then strike Huff N Puff from above and strike him, causing more Ruff Puff to appear. Rean and Levi then strike one of them along with Edelgard with her Axe. Then Dedue use a combat Art and strike him from a side to cause more Ruff Puffs to appear. Dorothea then cast Thunder on him ad follow up with Byleth and Yuri's combined slashes and more Ruff Puffs.

"GRRR ENOUGH OF THIS!" Huff N' Puff yelled and then begin to charge electricity.

"Everyone except those who have flying mounts, to me!" Bow shout while Flayn ride on Seteth and Bow use her Boo powers on them and then Ruff N. Puff shout out lighting. Only to see that failed.

"CURSES BOO!" He growled while Bow laughed.

Machias then show fire at Huff N Puff and destroy more of his Ruff Puffs. While Jusis launch some slash and only one Huff Puff remain and then it was taken out by Flayn.

"NO! THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!" Huff N. Puff.

"Oh it's happening sweetheart." Claude taught as he begin to glow. "Don't hold this against me, okay?"

"OH I WILL HO-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Huff N' Puff screamed once Claude shoot his final arrow at him which cause him to fell to the ground and exploded into millions of Ruff Puffs, leaving behind a card that contained Klevar, a Star Spirit with a book and a bowtie.

(BGM ended)

Claude chuckled as he dismount and petted his horse. "That was more fun than I thought."

"Honestly, that was relaxing to teach him a lesson." Maneula chuckled. "Strange. I feel like I've gotten stronger."

"Same. Well, it's the same as Live combat from our world." Dorothea giggled.

(Paper Mario ost - A Kingdom of Chaos)

Mario touched the card as the card disappeared and Klevar was back to normal.

"Oh my. Is this the Star Spirit?" Flayn asked in shocked.

"This presence… it's almost as like…" Seteth said in awe.

"So this is a Star Spirit… Amazing!" Manuela exclaimed

"Whoooa. I can definitely feel like I'm talking to someone with divine presence." Hilda said.

"I was sure it would be a spirit… but this…" Lorenz said.

"So this is what you and everyone else hoping to set free…" Dimitri said In awe.

"Yes. It truly is like meeting one of the Gods." Dedue nodded

"Ah, thank you! All of you! You have my deepest gratitude." Klevar said. "Now, let's get out of here."


Meanwhile in Peach's castle...

(Paper Mario ost - Hang in There Peach)

"My, my. I wasn't expecting Bowser to be that much of a sore loser." Alfin giggled

"Yes. I'm sorry you girls continue to watching Bowser continue to lost to me." Peach sighed.

"It is not your fault Princess. You did mention is somewhat… a bonehead." Elise said. "That Enforcer certainly felt tired."

"But he did put Bowser to sleep just to get us a chance to be away. And with that. It's time we get out of here and use that parasol."

"I wonder if we might even learn about the next Star Spirit. Here's hoping." Alfin said and they went through the corridor and pushed the button, where they went into the next room and walked out into the main room.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Stealthy Snoop.)

When three Koopatrols backs were turned, Peach used the Sneaky Parasol on him to change into a Koopatrol, and Alfin and Elise took it and did the same to transform into a Koopatrol as well. They put the Sneaky Parasol away after that.

"Sweet!" Peach whispered as they went to walk up the main stairs and got to a Koopatrol guarding it. "Hey, we need to go see Bowser."

"Alright. Go ahead." He said and then they walked off as they walked ahead and proceeded to walk further until they saw three Koopatrols blocking the way. "Hey, we nee-"

"What are you guys doing out of your posts?!" One of them asked.

"Uh… why aren't you taking a break?" Peach asked.

"Ha! We wish, but those three idiotic Clubbas are off probably snoozing! We want to go take a nap too, but nooooo… we're still stuck here."

"What did you expect? They're Cubbas. And whose good idea was to set them as guard in the first place?"

"I don't know, but I swear, if I seen one. I'm gonna smack the tooth out of that one!"

"The one who is supposed to take over your shift?" Elise asked

"Yeah! Ohh, they're gonna get it!"

"Riiight. We'll do you a favor and find them for you." Alfin said.

"Thank you! Oh, you'll need this." One of them handed over the castle key.

"Come on, let's go."

"By the way, what's with the Star Kid?" One of them asked

"That's the thing we wanted to report to Bowser."

"Yeah, that make sense."

"Come to think of it, Didn't one of the guys have a Minior?"

"I think that was Mike."

As the trio left them to their around the castle, they came across the front door as it was locked. Then they use the key to open the lock. As they walked outside, they noticed three sleeping Clubbas snoozing away, as the three looked at each other and nodded as they proceeded to turn into the Clubbas as they walked away.

"That reminds me. What were those two things we found in some bedroom?"

"I think they're ARCUS units or something."

That click the girls and then they begin to head to one of the rooms. And then found only one ARCUS Units belonging to Alfin.

"It's my ARCUS!" Alfin whisper. "But where's Elise's?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's in the other room?" Elise whispered and then they took Alfin's ARCUS and then took off.

"That reminds me. I think I overheard Lord Campanella talking to someone and sending one of the ARCUSes to them."

"Who is it?"

"Not sure. But I did hear the name I think. Undine."

As the girls now know. But who is this Undine character Campanella send it to? They walked back to where the Koopatrols were.

"FINALLY YOU ARRIVED!"

"As much as I like to punch you right now, I'm too tired."

"So have fun." The Koopatrol said as they walked off.

"Oh, we will." Peach said.

And once they were out of earshot, they walked into the next room and went up a flight of stairs before they were outside where a few Koopatrols were talking.

"Excuse us." Elise said. "We need to talk with Lord Bowser and the others."

"Sorry, there's no trespassing up here! …Oh, who are I kidding, you're already up here anyway. What a stupid restriction…" He sighed… and then the door opened to reveal Kammy and Vita.

(BGM ended)

(Paper Mario ost - Kammy Koopa)

"Good news Soldiers. Everything is ready at long last." Vita said.

"That's right. Mario and the others may have almost all the Star Spirits, but that doesn't matter. We will remain victorious as long as we have the Star Rod with us!" She said.

"YEAH!" The two Koopatrols and the three reluctant girls yelled as Kammy and Vita walked off… and then turned to the Clubbas.

"You three… you are doing a fine jo-… why do you three smell nice?"

"Uh… we just took a shower. We use one of those shampoo things." Peach answered.

"I don't you we shouldn't taken a bath. But the water was nice to take a nap." Alfin sighed.

"Sheesh!" Elise exclaimed

"Taking a shower? Really?" Kammy asked.

"I don't see the problem if they took a bath, Kammy." Vita said as the trio smiled on the inside. "Is what I would say if they are your soldiers."

'Uh Oh…' The trio thought.

Kammy firing magic at the three Clubbas to reveal the three.

"Crud!" Peach exclaimed.

"Aww, how did you know?" Alfin pouted.

"Granted, your transformation is no doubt genius. I think Bleublanc would definitely love to hear this. But as a witch with a keen senses, I can tell if someone is using magic to disguise themselves. You girls truly do love to escape. At least it doesn't get boring around here."

"And how do you KEEP escaping!? Take them to their rooms now!" Kammy ordered the guards.

"Yes Ma'am!" The two guards salute. Just before they were gonna.

"Oh no you don't!" Alfin then raise her hand and then cast a High-Tier Art on them.

(BGM ended)

(Trail of Cold Steel ost - To Become the Foundation of the World)

Alfin cast Flare Bomb onto the Soldier and push back Vita and Kammy.

"Bah! She can use magic!?" Kammy exclaimed.

"No, it's a high level Fire Art! How did she reclaim her ARCUS unit?"

"Girls, now!" Alfin shout

"Right!" The two of them ran along with Alfin!

"Get back here!" Kammy shout.

The girls ran down and then Alfin cast her Arts onto Bowser's soldiers and easily taken them out. And then once they reach the door.

Alfin begin to use Purgatorial Flame and melt the door.

"Let's go!" Alfin said as Kammy and Vita arrived.

"AHH! NO! Don't let them escape!"

Just as they were gonna ran down, a force field surrounding them.

"Huh?" Peach wondered… and then the four of them got electrocuted. "AAAAAAGH!"

"My my! You are quite the troublesome princess." A voice said.

(End BGM)

"That voice… no!" Peach said as they looked to see Kamek flying up.

(Paper Mario Color Splash ost - Kamek)

"It's a good thing I decided to come home early!" Kamek then shoot his Magic towards Alfin and then took her ARCUS away.

"My ARCUS!" Alfin shout.

"I had it completely covered, Kamek! You should still be on your vacation!" Kammy said.

"Hmph. Well I got bored, mother." Kamek said. "Now that I'm here… things are gonna be different. Her room is too good for these four."

"Heh… unfortunately for you… my castle doesn't have a dungeon!" Peach smirked.

"True… but Bowser does." Kamek said as their eyes widened.

"Unfortunately for you all of her guests she invited already filled up." Kammy said which give the four a sigh of relief.

"Oh not to worry, I'll just conjure a new one or do it myself." He said, giving the girls and Twink as their eyes widen

"Ah, so you're the famous Kamek. It's a pleasure to meet you." Vita giggled

"Yes. It's nice to meet you too, Vita Clotilde, Second Anguis of Ouroboros. I have already been informed when I got back." Kamek said and then landed. "Now then, If you excuse me, I have some work to do with these prisoners in their dungeon."

"Understood. My, you're formidable as you look."

"Flattery won't get you anywhere. Now then. Let us discuss this inside. Mario and his friends are in for a treat." Kamek chuckled darkly as he walked away while carrying the trio to the dungeon.

"Hehe. You raise your son, well." Vita complimented.

"I know." Kammy chuckled.


I mean why not? Kamek is fun to have around.
