Chapter 13: Nightmare Island

The Gadd Aircraft arrives at Pi'illo Island, which is cover in an eerie purple fog.

"Wow, this place is like a ghost island," said King Boo.

"How ironic for you to say that," said Bowser Jr.

"It's the perfect place for bats to live in, like Antasma," said Bowser.

"So, this Pi'illo Island? This doesn't look like what the broachers say," said Ludwig.

"That's because it was taken over by the enemy, Wighead," said Wendy.

"Hold on tight, everyone. We're about to land," said Prof. E Gadd, landing the Gadd Aircraft at the Pi'illo Blimport.

Once Team Peach and their allies come out of the airship, they see the inhabitants of Pi'illo Blimport are gathered there.

Prince Dreambert and Starlow come over to them as Starlow says, "oh, bless the stars in haven. Princess Peach, you have a arrive. But where are Mario and Luigi? And…why is Bowser, his family and King Boo with you?"

"We are working with Peach until our greatest enemy is gone for good," said Morton.

"Yeah…But where are the Mario Brothers?"

"Must we draw a picture?! The Brothers got kidnapped by our greatest enemy," said Iggy.

"That's terrible news to hear! We need their help because Antasma has returned with a new power source to take over my beloved island," said Prince Dreambert.

"The reason for this Antasma guy's return is because our greatest enemy brought him back to life and gave him the Wish Heart of Friendship," said Larry.

"Wait a minute," said Starlow. "Wish Heart of Friendship?! The Wish Stone is back?! That would explain the new image and new powers."

Once Starlow hands Peach a photo of Antasma's pure form but with glowing pink eyes and the Wish Heart of Friendship replaces his bow tie, Peach said, "It's true. He's using the Wish Heart to gain control of Pi'illo Island finally. We must remove it off of him to end his reign."

"And what about this greatest enemy that the Koopalings mention about?" Prince Dreambert asks.

"Dude, have you ever about the Calamity of the Super Crown? Bowsette and Boosette are back," said Lemmy.

The Pi'illo inhabitants gasp in horror before Starlow shouts, "Bowsette and Boosette returned from the dead?! The Calamity of the Super Crown is restarting all over again, but with twice the trouble!"

"Everyone, come look at the giant monitor! There's a giant airship hovering the Pi'illo Castle," said Broque Monsieur, before he takes out a remote and pushes the button on it.

A giant monitor appears before everyone, and it shows Bowsette and Boosette's airship, circling Pi'illo Castle. On the ship are Bowsette and Boosette standing near the edge of their boat with their hands on their hips, grinning, the wind blowing through their hair, and laughing. Next to them are Mario and Luigi, who are tied up together and gagged on the mouths.

"Mario!" Peach shouts in worry.

"Luigi!" Daisy shouts in horror.

"And Bowsette and Boosette are with them too," said Birdo.

"But what are they doing here?" Captain Toad confused.

"Who cares?! At least will save the Mario Brothers and the Toad Twins, get the last three Wish Hearts, and defeat Bowsette and Boosette for good," said Hint Toad.

"But this looks off for them to be here," said Sleepy Toad, while sleeping on Mail Toad's back.

"What we need is a plan to infiltrate the Pi'illo Castle to save the Mario Brothers and the Toad Twins," said Banktoad.

"I say we distract the enemy army while Team Peach heads straight into the Pi'illo Castle," said Mail Toad.

"Great idea! Then let's get to work," said Toadette.

An army of monsters is guarding the castle until they spot a troop of Pi'illos and Brocks come toward as Bowser led them with his family, King Boo, Yoshi, the Toad Brigade, and Captain Toad.

"Okay, Brocks attack the flightless while Pi'illos took on the ones who can fly," said Yoshi, while carrying Captain Toad.

"CHARGE!" Captain Toad shouted as their allies draw out their weapons like spears, clubs, and bats.

As both armies collide into battle, Team Peach passes through them to get to the entrance of Pi'illo Castle.

"Like ninjas, we're silent as the wind," said Birdo.

"Okay, girls. Let's head right in," said Peach, runs in ahead.

But once Team Peach got inside, Cauliflower smells the floor and meows at her team for them to follow her.

"Go, Cauliflower! Lead us to the Mario Brothers and the Toad Twins," said Daisy, as she and her team follow Cauliflower.

Then Team Peach came across Antasma with glowing pink eyes, and the Wish Heart of Friendship replaces his bow tie. They witness him using his new powers to levitate the Toad Twins, who are trapped in container prison. Team Peach quietly follows Antasma throughout the castle.

"Where are you taking us, you vampire?!" Yellow Toad shouted.

"You're not going to suck our blood, are you?! Cause if you are, our blood type isn't sweet enough," said Blue Toad.

"For the 100th time, I'm not a vampire!" said Antasma.

"You look like one, talk like one, and you even act like one. And yet you're not harmed by the sun."

"We're going to visit some friends of yours in the airship."

When Antasma and his two prisoners reach the balcony, a platform to the airship comes down to the gallery. Once they got on it, it takes them up to the plane.

"The weirdo that holding the Toad Twins hostage must be Antasma," said Birdo.

"And that platform must be the only way up to the airship," said Toadette.

"Come on, girls. We got to save our friends," said Peach, once the platform returns down.

Then Team Peach gets on it and then gets lifted to Bowsette and Boosette's airship.
