I added the Ice Flower out of love for Super Mario Galaxy. And yeah, the Noki Elder might be on his last breaths.
StarlitDuck
To me the only hard part about the lily pad ride is actually getting there. Though I guess growing up with this game made me experienced enough to make it hard to challenge me.
Delfino Plaza
The heroes arrived back in the plaza. But the moment they did, they were met by Toad and Toadette who were in panic.
Toad and Toadette: MARIO! MARIO!
Mario: Hey, calm down! What's wrong?
Toad: We got this letter from the Princess!
He put the letter down. It opened automatically, and displayed a hologram of Peach.
Daisy: PEACH?!
FLUDD: Another Holo-Peach! Let's see what message she sent this time.
Holo-Peach: Mario, I've got good news and bad news. The good news is that recent reports have shown you and your Shadow selves being caught on camera in different places at the same time. The government is getting suspicious, so I believe you're getting closer to being found innocent.
Luigi: Well, that's good to know!
Holo-Peach: But the bad news is that Wendy has polluted Noki Bay. She's also discovered Aqua's "secret power". Please, be careful! I hope you'll be able to rescue me soon.
The hologram vanished. Mario put the letter in his pocket for safekeeping.
Toad: "Secret power"? What's she talking about?
Aqua: Oh no! She must be talking about my… my…!
Luigi: Hydrokinesis?
Aqua: Yeah, what he just said.
Daisy: Well, that's not good.
Mario: Yeah. We gotta be careful when we face Wendy. She might have some new tricks up her sleeves. But for now, let's get rid of the pollution and turn the bay back to normal.
Aqua: Yeah! So that I can have fun there once this is all over.
Toadette: Best of luck!
The heroes looked at the sun again and they vanished.
Noki Bay
The moment they arrived, the Noki Elder's grandson spoke to them.
Noki: Mario! Good news! Grandpa found out how to solve our pollution problem! The answer is, you must go to the ocean floor!
Daisy: Yeah… one problem with that. The ocean's POISONED!
Noki: Don't worry. Grandpa's thought of everything. He's waiting for you up top. But before you go…
The Noki takes out four helmets with oxygen tanks and radio speakers.
Noki: Put these on. You'll need them.
Mario and Co. put their diving gear on.
Mario: Thanks, kid!
Noki: You're welcome! And good luck!
Mario and Friends climbed up to the top of the cliff where the Noki Elder was waiting for them.
Noki Elder: You look like you're ready! The gunk in the ocean is caused by… A giant eel! It's moved into our ancestral home at the sea floor, and it's nursing some nasty cavities there.
Luigi: Mamma Mia!
Aqua and Daisy: An eel?!
Mario: …
*flashback*
In Jolly Roger Bay
Mario: Alright, so where do you think that star is?
Yoshi: Probably underwater.
Mario: Alright. Let's a go!
Mario and Yoshi took a breath and dived into the water. They swam past clams, fish, rocks, and reached a large deep area with some holes in the walls. They swam down, only to get spotted by a large eel known as a Unagi. The two were freaked out as it emerged from it's hole and started chasing them. They tried swimming for their lives, until Mario spotted the star on his tail. He carefully swam over and grabbed it. Mario and Yoshi then swam for the surface.
Mario: Phew, that was scary.
Yoshi: At least we got the star.
*end of flashback*
Mario shivered just thinking about that scary eel he encountered.
Aqua: How do we stop it?
Daisy: Better yet, how do we even get in the ocean with all the poison?
Noki Elder: Let's take a look…
The Noki Elder looked down at the waterfall's bottom.
Noki Elder: The newly uncorked waterfall created a gap in the pollution that you can use as an entrance! Jump right in there! Dive to the bottom of the ocean and clean that eel's teeth! Doing so will ease his pain, and he'll return from whence he came!
Luigi: You think that will work?
Noki Elder: No doubt about it! Now, gather your courage and DIVE!
Luigi, Aqua, and Daisy: Yes sir!
They then heard Mario whimpering behind them.
Luigi: Mario?
Noki Elder: Master Mario, are you okay?
Mario: Y-You guys go on ahead. I-I'll just stay here. Where it's safe…
Daisy: What's got him cracked up?
Luigi: Well, Mario told me about an incident that he and Yoshi were caught in several months ago with a scary looking eel. They had to get close to it in order to get a Star, and it tried to eat them alive. It must've been a scary situation! I'm glad I wasn't there.
Aqua: Oh yeah, he told me about that too…
She walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder.
Mario: No! I'm n-not g-going d-down there!
Aqua: Calm down, Mario! I know you're scared, but you taught me to face my fears. Why can't you do the same?
Mario: Well, have you ever been so close to an eel that you thought for a moment that your game would be over? Nope! You're lucky your father got them out of your kingdom. If he didn't, you wouldn't enjoy the water as much as you do, now.
Daisy: He did it for safety reasons, Mario. If he didn't do it, Aqua's kingdom probably would never have existed.
Mario: That's not my point! I'm just saying that those eels, along with the piano will always be mental scars to my memory.
Luigi: Well, ghosts are mental scars to me as well, but I was able to face them. If I didn't even try to face my fears, I would never have saved you from King Boo.
Daisy: He's got a good point, Mario.
Aqua: Come on, Mario! Please? If that eel tries to eat you, I'll save you. I'm a fast swimmer!
Mario got up groaning with a hint of annoyance.
Mario: Fine! But I'm not gonna like a single minute of it.
They all dived down to the opening the waterfall was making and swam down.
Deep Sea of Mare
The Mario group was awed at their surroundings. They were now in the Noki's ancestral home. An underground city. They were speaking through their radios so they could hear each other.
Luigi: Wowie zowie! Look at this place!
Daisy: Gorgeous!
Aqua: It kinda reminds me of my own kingdom.
Mario: Well, yeah. It looks nice, but… where's the eel?
FLUDD: My sensors show highly toxic materials approaching.
Mario: Huh?
They looked down and saw giant purple bubbles rising toward them. They looked highly dangerous, so they dodged them.
Luigi: Where are they coming from?
Aqua: Look!
At the bottom were four glowing yellow eyes. Aqua grabbed the other two and swam down to get the better look. It was a large black eel with four eyes, and teeth hosting really bad cavities.
Aqua grabs the other three and swims down to get a better look at the creature. There was no telling whether it was male or female, because it appeared to be both. With one side being male, and the other side being female. It had 8 teeth covered in plaque and bacteria. It was clear that this eel hadn't been brushing or flossing its teeth. It's name was Eely-Mouth.
Mario: Huh. Compared to the eel I saw in Jolly Roger Bay, this one doesn't look nearly as scary.
Daisy: It still looks disgusting, though! Hey, pal! There's this new product called toothpaste! Maybe you should consider trying it out!
Eely-Mouth saw the heroes approaching, and thought they were food. It spun around rapidly before raising it's head up and opening its mouth, revealing it's plaque covered teeth.
FLUDD: It seems we are being attacked by plaque-forming bacteria. My nozzles still work underwater. Use them to clean the eel's teeth.
Luigi: So, we're basically dentists, now?
Mario: I… guess so.
Daisy: *sarcastic* Fun. Because everyone LOVES the dentist.
Aqua: This is weird…
The quartet used their FLUDD nozzles to clean three teeth. Before they could clean more, Eely-Mouth started sucking them up while they tried to escape. Then Eely-Mouth closed its mouth.
All: NONONONONONONONO!
Once it closed its mouth, everything went pitch black for them. Even FLUDD was terrified.
FLUDD: It is dark… I feel fright…
Eely-Mouth didn't like the taste of them, though and it spat them out. They were shaken by the events that just took place.
FLUDD: Are you all okay?
Aqua was crying and Mario comforted her.
Luigi: NO, YOU IDIOT! WE'RE NOT OKAY! WE ALMOST GOT EATEN ALIVE BY A GIANT FLIPPING EEL! DOES IT LOOK LIKE WE'RE OKAY?!
FLUDD: Calm down! At least it didn't eat you. Next time, try using your Rocket Nozzle to escape the eel!
Daisy: YOU COULD'VE TOLD HIM THAT THE FIRST TIME!
FLUDD: I know. My apologies. Now, let's get back to cleaning up the teeth.
They noticed they were having a hard time breathing and saw that their air tanks were almost empty.
Mario: Let's… get some… air first.
They went over to the side and collected coins scattered among the building to refill their air tanks. Then went back to Eely-Mouth to clean three more teeth. One of the teeth fell out of its mouth which made Mario frown. This time, Luigi used the Rocket Nozzle to help his friends escape from being eaten.
Mario: Thanks bro! You're a lifesaver!
Luigi: Just doing my part.
After gathering more coins, Mario and Friends cleaned up the last two teeth. One of which was golden. After cleaning all the teeth, Eely-Mouth slowly lowered itself into its hole and smiled as a sign of thanks, spitting out its golden tooth and smiling before departing. As this happened, FLUDD taught everyone a valuable lesson.
FLUDD: Remember to take proper care of your teeth.
Mario: Agreed! Always keep your teeth shiny, and you'll have a bright smile!
Aqua smiled, showing that she always brushed her teeth. The golden tooth exploded leaving behind a Shine Sprite, as well as 20 coins in the eel's hole taking the form of a heart. Mario and Friends sunk down to to ocean floor and grabbed the Shine Sprite.
SHINE!
All: YAHOO!
