You'll find out soon enough.

I added the magma and lightning in order to spice up the difficulty. Luigi did a good job covering it. Now there's just one more character to go.

You might be right.

You might be surprised for what Daisy has in store.

I'm actually in disbelief that we've gotten this far, but here we are! Just one more character chapter to go, and we'll be at the final boss.
Daisy opened her eyes, not having felt her Turbo Nozzle get taken away. But then she gets confused seeing that Mario, Luigi and Aqua were gone.
Daisy: Um… guys? Guys? Hello?
Daisy starts to get nervous.
Daisy: If this is some kind of sick prank, it's not funny! Come out!
No answer came to her, she started to tear up and just sighed.
Daisy: (All alone again. Just great.)
She didn't say anything as the white light engulfed her.
Corona Mountain
Daisy woke up, feeling a little dizzy.
Daisy: Oh… what a horrible dream. Where the heck am I?
Daisy looked ahead. What she saw looked to be a long stretch of road. Starting with a very fast moving conveyor belt that was moving against the direction she was supposed to be going, followed by swinging pendulums, platforms spaced far apart from each other, thwomps, and more ahead that she couldn't make out.
Daisy: You have got to be kidding me! How am I supposed to go through that? That looks like something some blue hedgehog that could go really fast could go through. And I'm certainly not such a thing.
Daisy was about to give up when she remembered that the Turbo Nozzle wasn't taken away this time.
Daisy: Well, I guess I could use this thing.
Daisy began to charge up, looking at her horizons in preparation. And then… she takes off. Speeding over the conveyor belt and making it across, some magical locks were placed onto the Turbo Nozzle, preventing Daisy from stopping.
Daisy: Uh oh! That doesn't look good!
With that said, Daisy knew she had to keep her eyes on the road ahead as if she were driving. The situation itself wasn't really that much different from driving, as one look away could lead her to the end of her game. Anyways, Daisy sharply dodged the swinging pendulums, and as for the thwomps, she slid under them as if she were running on a baseball diamond sliding to home base, and quickly ran off before the thwomps could crush her.
Daisy: (My sports skills really paid off!)
Next up were the platforms spaced far apart. And it was no exaggeration, they were REALLY far apart! One wrong move could send the desert princess to her fiery demise.
Daisy: (3. 2. 1.) JUMP!
Daisy leaped up as high and far as possible before using her trusty double jump to stick the landing on the next platform. She felt triumphant doing that, but had no time to celebrate given that there were more platforms to jump across. Passing all of those hazards. All that awaited her next was a long strip of land leading up to a cannon. Daisy assumed she just had to run across with no worries. Well, she was wrong. She heard rocket noises coming from behind them.
Daisy: What the heck?
A group of three Koopas wearing jetpacks and equipped with weaponry flew in front of Daisy.
Aero Koopa #1: Aero Koopa squadrons reporting for duty!
Aero Koopa #2: Target is in sight! Prepare to fire!
Aero Koopa #3: Roger that!
Daisy: (These must be Bowser's lackeys. I'll show them!)
One of the Aero Koopas charged up and fired a laser at Daisy, only for her to quickstep to the side. The Aero Koopas kept using their lasers to try and hit Daisy, in which she kept dodging them.
Daisy: (God, these guys are a pain in the butt! I wish I could hit them, but they're too fast for me to reach!)
Just then, a group of Goombas riding on tiny motorcycles came up from behind Daisy and tried to ram her. But they gave her an idea.
Daisy: Jackpot!
Daisy jumped onto the Goombas to knock them off the motorcycles, them threw them at the Aero Koopas to knock them over.
Aero Koopas: GAH! Mayday! Mayday!
They fell into the magma. With satisfaction, Daisy entered the cannon and blasted off.
In the hot tub, Junior was swimming around in his father's hot tub, still thinking about what his adopted siblings told him. The flooding of Delfino Plaza only made him feel better for a short time before going back to what he learned.
?: Bwaaaa ha ha! The water's great, eh, Jr.?
Junior snapped out of his trance when hearing his father's voice.
Bowser Jr.: Oh, uh, yeah. Sure is, Papa.
However, his dad could tell by his tone that he was not feeling great, but had no idea why.
?: Hey, Peach. Could you hop in and comfort your son? He looks sad.
Bowser Jr.: ("Your son". Is that line even true?)
Peach was still sitting on the rubber duck, waiting for Mario. She did feel bad for Junior, but after taking a glance at the 'water' she'd prefer to stay dry.
Peach: Ummm… I think not.
The three heard screaming getting louder and louder. Just then, four people showed up to the party, uninvited. Aqua jumped onto the tub, Mario fell from the sky on a mud boat, Luigi came jumping on with the Rocket Nozzle, and Daisy came on at a high speed as if she were blasted from a cannon. The four smiled with relief that they were reunited, but decided to save the hugs for later, knowing that they couldn't let their guards down now. Peach was ever so happy to see them.
Peach: Mario! Luigi! Aqua! Daisy! Oh, thank goodness!
Daisy and Aqua: Sis!
Mario: Don't worry, Princess! We're coming!
They trie to jump in, but stop the moment they see the green ooze.
Luigi: ...as soon as we figure out HOW!
Bowser Jr. noticed their arrival and groaned, not thinking this day could get any worse.
Bowser Jr.: You guys again?! Don't you EVER give up?!
?: MARIO!
The four were started the moment they saw Bowser. Likely because of the Shine Sprite sitting at the bottom of the tub, he was ever so massive! Nothing really new for him, but this was the first time Aqua and Daisy were facing Bowser, so they were certainly the most shocked.
Bowser: How dare you disturb my family vacation?! ROOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR!
To be continued…
