Chapter 8: Magic and Monsters
Now, Petey has no idea what a Glastonbury was. Perhaps it was one of those 'town' things he encountered.
But the town wasn't compared to other cities he saw. It was rather small. And no meadows or flower gardens to burrow in, So he had to find the next best thing.
Luckily no one in Glastonbury was outside. Or they'd be seeing a massive flower flying around. It wouldn't be a pleasant sight.
After flying silently for awhile. He came across a schoolgirl with a broom in her hand, as well as a wizard's hat.
After walking to a tree. The girl started flying on her broom. Much like Mirai and Riko did. Inside the hollow of the Glastonbury Tor. The witch started flying upwards to a small green looking portal.
As we all know. Petey Piranha isn't very smart. So he decided to follow her into the Ley Line.
Petey decided to fly straight forward, as the teal terminal seemed like it had no end.
Eventually, after flying for around three minutes, he ended up in a totally different world. In fact. There was a large tower and several enormous buildings. Seeming to resemble an Academy or School.
Petey didn't care about schools or little witches on brooms. He wanted a place to rest, eat, and find out where the Mushroom Kingdom was.
Eventually he settled in a large tree, called the Jennifer Memorial Tree. In the central of Petey saw on a sign. Luna Nova Magical Academy.
Petey gave up and flopped onto a branch. Seemingly he was hidden from view.
It was around eleven-thirty, and the witches were currently in Magic history class. The teacher was in a lecture about how Ley Lines work.
"These Ley Lines are the source for out magical powers." The old witch continued. "They carry power to the tower of Luna Nova, and store it in the Sorcerer's Stone. The power stored in the Sorcerer's Stone can The be..."
The witch was cut off to a faint sound of snoring. It was Akko.
"Well..." she continued. "The Magic can then be utilized as a source for magical abilities as Witches."
The witch summoned a fairy that flew over to a sleeping Akko.
"Hey! Akko! Akko!" Lotte whispered, trying to wake Akko up.
The fairy then grabbed Akko's hair and slammed her head into her textbook.
"Those who use magic who benefit, will be destroyed by magic for good." The Witch angrily lectured. "Can anyone tell me who said that?"
A girl named Diana raised her hand.
"Miss Cavendish?" The witch asked.
"T.S. Daniels." Diana said standing up.
"Very good. In order to use magic properly you must learn it's history." The old witch explained. "Do you understand Miss Kagari?"
Akko lifted her head which was red from the slam in the textbook.
"Y-Yes." She finally said.
BGM: Dreamy Castle Rendezvous (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
It was noon by now, and all of the student witches gathered in the cafeteria.
Sucy was busy trying one of her potions on Akko.
"Ugh! That strings!" Akko complained as the red paint was used on her nose.
"Stop wincing, I'm almost done." Sucy replied.
"Does this really work?" Akko asked.
"Don't worry. Always have faith in Sucy's potions." Sucy commented.
Suddenly Akko's head started reacting and her nose grew to a long pointy one.
"Hey! What did you do to my nose?!" Akko shouted.
"Now you look like a real witch!" Sucy snickered.
"Arrgh! You used me as a guinea pig again!" Akko angrily shouted.
"Don't worry. Your nose will return to normal in a hour. Maybe." Sucy said.
"Calm down! It's all because you fell asleep in class!" Lotte said trying to calm Akko.
"That class was so boring! I couldn't help it! Who could?" Akko remarked.
"I don't know. I find that class quite interesting." Lotte replied.
"Ugh, I don't care about ancient history. I didn't come here to be like those moldy old witches! They're just no fun at all!" Akko complained. "I want to be a cool witch like Shiny Chariot!"
Ursula, who was walking by stopped to hear the conversation.
"Shiny Chariot? I haven't heard that name in a long time!" Diana responded from the balcony.
"Diana? You know about Shiny Chariot?" Akko asked. "Isn't she like the coolest ever?"
"Oh my, your so sad." Diana replied. "How could you step into this Academy after being inspired by such a pathetic fraud?"
"Hey! What did you say?!" Akko shouted.
"You should know no wizard or witch cares about what she does." Diana continued.
"If you're into kid magic like that." Barbara said.
"You should go back to witch kindergarten!" Hannah finished.
"I'm sure you'll find many more kids at your level." Barbara told Akko.
Akko angrily threatened them. "I'll wipe that smug look off you Diana!"
"With what? Your stuck up nose?" Then she flicked her nose back at Lotte and Sucy.
"Take care of yourself. Well, have a nice day." Then she mockingly bowed and her friends chuckled and walked off.
BGM Ends.
Up on Luna Nova's rooftop. The witches were getting ready to fly their brooms.
"Alright! Listen up!" Nelson shouted. "This is your first time flying on school grounds, this is just a test drive, so watch your speed! Every year some idiot tries to show off!"
"Finally we get to rid our brooms at school!" Lotte whispered excitedly to a nervous Akko. "It's been awhile, I'm so excited!"
Other kids started taking off, so Lotte went next. "Well, I'm going to take off."
Akko nervously nodded as Lotte rod off.
"Who's next?!" Nelson shouted.
After three more witches went it was Akko's turn.
"When you get to the other side just wait!" Nelson shouted then turned to Akko. "Ok it's your turn now."
Akko looked down at the ground, she was way up high.
"What're waiting for?!" Nelson shouted and smacked Akko in the butt with her broom.
Since Akko didn't know how to ride a broom. She instead fell towards the ground.
"Go up! Up! Up! Up!" She commanded her broom. Just then, her broom stopped. Then it flew her upwards.
"No stop! Stop going up!" Akko screamed. Then it stopped and started flinging her like Olympic Bars. And then finally it stopped.
"Akko!" Lotte shouted.
"What exactly is she doing?" A student asked.
As Akko was being thrown around she was screaming to her broom. "WHY. WON'T. YOU. LISTEN. TO ME?!" Then she hopped on it like normal. Then she fell downwards to the forest. Crashing in a few trees.
Finally she landed. And a few sticks fell on her. "Ow." Was her final reply before she was knocked out with her broom.
"Akko! Are you okay?" Lotte shouted from the deck.
"Looser." Barbara replied.
It was nighttime now. And Akko, Lotte and Sucy were up in their quarters.
"Ow, ow, ow! It hurts!" Akko moaned.
"You want my potion?" Sucy asked.
"No thank you!" Akko replied.
"Wow, I didn't know that was your first time on a broom, you sure made a fool out of yourself!" Sucy smiled.
"Gee, thanks a lot." Akko mumbled.
"Don't be discouraged. You don't come from a wizard family like us, we've been riding brooms since we were kids!" Lotte replied.
"If you didn't know how, why didn't you just ask?" Sucy asked.
"Because, if I'm not good enough, there is no way I can be as good as Shiny Chariot!" Akko turned to her Shiny Chariot poster.
"Chariot again?" Sucy asked.
"Akko, you really like Shiny Chariot don't you?" Lotte told Akko.
"Of course I do! Chariot's so cool, Pretty and Shiny!" Akko said dreamily. Then she angrily looked away. "There must be something wrong with you if you are a witch and don't admire her!"
"Hm, Chariot doesn't exactly have a good reputation." Sucy replied.
"Yeah, Because she's presenting the wrong image of witches!" Lotte commented.
"She casts completely unusable spells." Sucy continued.
"They're not magic! Their illusions!" Lotte replied.
"She's a fake, a fraud, a outcast." Sucy responded.
"Her style has such bad taste!" Lotte finished.
Akko, who was red with anger, jumped up. But instead hit her head on the bunk bed's roof.
"Oh! Are you okay?" Lotte asked Akko.
"Ow! It's magical powers if I keep hitting my head!" Akko replied.
"But you don't have magical powers." Sucy reminded her.
"Mm! Yeah I know! I'm just a lowbrow witch!" Akko responded.
"Whatever. I don't care anymore." Akko slumped to the corner of her bed.
"Akko, I'm sorry if we hurt your feelings. Just know we didn't try to do that!" Lotte told her.
"Yeah, your free to like whoever you want, even if it is a fraud like Chariot." Sucy continued.
"Shh! Sucy don't!" Lotte shushed Sucy. "Why can't you keep your mouth shut?!"
"Why, what did I say?" Sucy replied.
BGM: Underneath P'illo Castle (Mario & Luigi: Dream Team)
After sleeping around a day. Petey Piranha finally came out of Jennifer's Memorial Tree. He decided he wanted a darker place to hide. So after searching for awhile. He finally came across a labyrinth underneath the tower.
"Seems alright to me." He thought. And broke straight into the dungeons. Not knowing that Akko's class was about to enter in.
"Today, you will put your skills to the test. This tower is built on top of an ancient labyrinth." Professor Ursula explained. "Today's assignment is to go down into the labyrinth, find ancient treasure and retrieve it. The rarer your items are, the more points you'll get. But be careful, there are wild monsters roaming the labyrinth, so please watch your step!"
The board was a pixel style game of what appeared to be Mario and Luigi. They seemed to be collecting Magikoopa wands out of chests. Then a PAC-Man like being ate Luigi out of a chest and the words changed to 'Game Over!'
Sucy didn't look impressed. "It's like a crappy retro Super Mario game." Sucy commented.
"But with monsters do you think it's going to be safe?" Lotte asked turning to a prideful looking Akko.
"Yes! Finally my chance to shine!" Akko said with pride.
"You have three hours, use everything you learned so far and impress me with your talent. Good luck! Begin." Professor Ursula said, unlocking the doors to the Labyrinth.
Going down the steps, Akko was hurrying along. "C'mon! Hurry up!" Akko shouted at her roommates.
"Slow down!" Lotte panted.
"If we don't hurry, Diana will get ahead of us!" Akko pleaded.
"But it's too dangerous, wait, hold on!" Lotte grabbed her want and pointed at her lantern.
"Now, now, come out!" She said to the lantern. Suddenly a small glowing flame jumped out of the lantern and started leading a path.
"There, now we can see where we are going!" Lotte said.
"Oh come on! The danger is half the fun!" Akko said.
Suddenly they heard a small grunt coming from a platform above.
"Huh?" Akko asked, and looked up. It was a Goomba, staring at Akko, trying to find a way down.
"There you are you little monster! Have a taste of my magic!" Akko shouted and blasted a spell on the Goomba, causing him to loose his balance and fall down the stairs.
"You think you can get away? Think again!" Akko shouted and started running after the Goomba.
"Akko no! Our assignment isn't to hunt monsters!" Lotte shouted running after Akko. Sucy followed close behind.
Elsewhere. A bug like monster tried attacking Diana's group. Diana easily defeated it by shooting a disintegrating spell, causing it to crumble to ash in no time.
"This is a 'monster?'" Diana asked.
"Um, Hey Diana? Why don't we head back soon?" Barbara asked.
"Y-Yeah, we have a lot of rare treasures!" Hannah said.
Diana sighed. "Those are all common drops. No one would dare think those are rare treasures."
"This place is really dangerous!" Barbara whimpered hugging close to Hannah.
"I don't think we can do this anymore!" Hannah cried.
"Witches are supposed to be feared. How do you think this place is scary?" Diana asked. "Besides. My magic is invincible, you absolutely have nothing to fear."
Suddenly Barbara and Hannah started shivering more. And pointed at Diana.
"D-D-D-Diana?" They whimpered.
Diana sighed. "What is it?"
"A-A-A-A-A P-P-Plant."
"A plant?" Diana asked and turned around.
It was Petey Piranha. He was massive and looked strong. (As you all may know, that's what he always looks like, but Diana and her friends don't know that.) and had a ring of orangish reddish petals and leaf like arms, and one set of razor sharp teeth.
Meanwhile, the Goomba was running from Akko's explosive attacks. And went to a room of the labyrinth.
"Which way did it go?" Akko asked.
Lotte came up behind. "Would you please slow down?" She begged.
Suddenly Barbara's scream was heard.
"Over there!" Akko shouted and headed for the door the Goomba went through.
"Your too enthusiastic!" Lotte chased after her.
"Stop right there!" Akko said. "I'm going to give you my finishing, WOAH!" Akko was surprised to see Diana using a shield spell to block herself and her friends from Petey.
"Akko?" Diana asked.
Petey turned around and spotted the trio. Then Petey started thumping to them.
"A flower?" Akko shivered.
Petey roared his signature disturbing roar. Although the cat scratches from Yuni's claws on his gums, uvula and sides of his mouth were no longer there. His mouth was back to normal. Although Yuni's bloodstains on his teeth were still there.
"AAAHHHHHH!" Akko screamed. And fired a stunning blast. Which stunned Petey as he staggered backwards.
"Now's my chance." Diana said. "All the swords!" Suddenly all the swords from skeletons aimed at Petey. "Become my blade, and strike him down!"
The blades stuck into Petey's head. Instead of dying. He turned around and roared louder.
Akko was paralyzed in bewilderment.
"Akko! Are you okay?" Lotte said running up.
"That thing's crazy!" Akko responded.
"Now it's my turn." Sucy said walking up to him.
"Sucy! What are you going to do." Lotte asked.
"Hey Mr. Flower." Sucy said, Petey turned around and looked at her oddly calmly.
"Open wide." Sucy instructed.
Petey roared, and Sucy dumped a bottle of melting poison into his mouth. Instead of sizzling and melting into nothing but green ooze. He swished his mouth, gargled and sallowed.
"Huh?" Sucy asked. "That'd was supposed to kill him."
Petey then made a before vomit noise and spit out a molten circle of poison brown goop. The goop eventually evaporated and all was left was a a ring in the floor. Petey then let out a battle cry roar. But was stopped to a rumble.
Akko, Lotte and Sucy, who were in the circle. Looked curiously around with Petey to see what was making the noise. Suddenly the rumble got louder beneath them, and all four slowly looked at each other.
Then the ground gave way. And Petey fell down to the deeper parts of the labyrinth. Along with Akko and Lotte, screaming as they fell.
"We can go down from here." Diana said.
"WHAT?!" Barbara and Hannah shrieked.
"If your too scared you can stay up here. Well, so long." Diana pulled out a spell of a ballon torch and floated down.
"Wait, Diana! Don't leave us!" Barbara shouted and floated after her.
BGM: Vs. Boss (Super Mario Sunshine)
Petey fell onto a roadblock as three unlucky witches were exploring.
"What is that thing?" Student one asked.
"Gives me the creeps!" Student two whimpered.
Petey heard them and turned around. Then all three huddled together as Petey angrily marched to them.
From the bottom, Diana heard three screams, ending so suddenly.
"I guess those three fell to their doom?" Diana asked and kept moving forward.
On another level, Akko got up and shouted. "What's with Diana's attitude when we save their lives?"
"Well, we're going down too!" Akko shouted.
"Tell me how." Sucy countered.
"What do you mean? On brooms!" Akko responded.
"I didn't bring one." Sucy replied.
"WHAT?! Why didn't you bring one anyways?" Akko commanded.
"You can't ride one anyways." Sucy shrugged.
"Huh?! S-Shut Up!" Akko shouted back.
"Anyways, we should go after Diana." Akko suggested.
"On foot?" Sucy asked.
"But we might not get back in time!" Lotte responded.
After Diana floated down. The trio started looking around.
"Are you sure it's safe to be down here?" Barbara asked.
Suddenly they heard a deep grunt and turned around, it was Petey Piranha. Standing creepily and staring at them.
"That flower guy again!" Diana shouted.
"D-Diana! It's dangerous!" Hannah stammered.
Petey chuckled and faked a bite at them. Causing Barbara and Hannah to shriek. Causing him to make a happy grunt.
"Hmph! Let's attack it then!" Barbara grunted as she was embarrassed from Petey's fake out.
"Woah! Hold on! Don't you know what that thing can do to you!?" Diana shouted at Barbara.
"Will it grind our bones for bread?" Hannah asked.
"Glong Ghir, Gleeb, Glork." (Well actually, that would be for Ruined Dragon). Petey responded.
"GLORGOK GLEP GLEP GLOP! GUUGUU GAAGAA?! ~ "GOOGOO! ~ GAGGA GAGGA! ~ GLEE GLEP GLAK!" (Now, Piranha Plants? They're much worse. We'll make a soup from your skin and blood, have a cup of your mucus and organ juices. Shave your liver, eat your skin and organs RAW! And squeeze the juices from your brain and eyes! Actually, it's quite good on toast.) Petey gurgled and chuckled.
"Glop, Glork." (Oh wait, humans can't understand me.) Petey moaned.
"Back! Back I say! I warned you!" Diana shouted waving her spell torch at him.
Petey simply looked at it, licked his leaf and put the flame out with one 'tsss'
"Right..." Diana smiled nervously.
Then Petey roared extremely loud, causing the trio to back away in fear.
Elsewhere, Akko and her roommates discovered a cellar of treasure.
"Woah! Look at all of this treasure!" Akko said in awe.
"This doesn't look like a treasure room." Lotte said.
"Yeah It looks more like a pile of junk, or maybe a garbage dump?" Sucy replied.
"We need to head back if we don't want to miss the dead line! What do we do?" Lotte asked.
"Let's just take something back as a item." Sucy suggested.
Then Akko spotted something shiny from the corner.
"Is that, what I think it is?" Akko asked.
Then the ground started shaking, and the ground came up from above. And Petey flew upwards, looking more angrier than ever.
Petey shot a fireball at the ceiling and flew towards the entrance.
"So he's also a dragon, Huh?" Akko asked.
Then Diana and her friends crawled out of the divot in the ground.
"Diana! What happened down there?" Akko asked.
"Nothing at all happened." Diana responded.
"But your a mess." Akko responded.
"That doesn't matter." Diana shouted slamming the visor down on the knight helmet that fell on Akko. "Tell me where that thing went."
"Oh that flower guy? He flew up there." Akko said pointing to the sky. "And he left this cool decoration behind."
Akko was holding what looked like a skeleton arm.
"Umm, Akko, that's not a bone." Diana told Akko.
Akko took a further inspection. And indeed it wasn't a arm to a former student.
"AAAHHHHHHH!" Everyone screamed and backed away from it.
"So it killed other students? Then I'll have to stop it!" Diana shouted. "Ladies, I'm going to need your brooms."
Akko held onto Diana's broom. "Wait, what's going on here?" Akko asked.
"I am responsible for letting that thing loose, so its my responsibility to kill it." Then Diana took off.
"She must think she's so amazing." Akko said, pulling the helmet off her head. "Oh wait, I almost forgot!" Akko remembered.
"Wait, Akko! What are you doing?" Lotte asked.
"It must be around here somewhere." Akko mumbled ruffling through the junk.
"Akko! What are you looking for?" Lotte asked.
"Found it!" Akko exclaimed.
"Did you find something valuable?" Sucy asked.
"I found a one of a kind treasure." Akko said. "It's Shiny Chariot's Shiny rod!"
Sucy and Lotte looked curiously then gasped in disbelief. "Huh?!"
Later at the labyrinth's entrance. The witches were looking at the valuables they collected.
Suddenly Petey sprang forth from the darkness. And roared loudly at all the witches.
"What is that thing?" A student asked.
"Oh no!" Professor Ursula shouted, and slammed a emergency door lock of Petey's body.
"Quick! Now's our chance!" The student shouted. And all of them shot magic at Petey.
"No! Hold your fire!" Ursula shouted. It was no use. The magic absorbed Petey, and he got more powerful.
"Emergency! Everyone evacuate the building!" Ursula cried through a megaphone spell.
Diana rushed out of the door. And saw Petey having a rampage on the tower.
"Diana?" Ursula called.
"Yes, Professor?" Diana called.
"Something terrible happened, a odd plant monster woke from the labyrinth. I'm going to try and hold him off, I need you to help evacuate the students." Ursula instructed.
Then Akko came flying out of the door. Along with Lotte and Sucy.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!" Akko cried and crash landed on the ground. "Ugh, I hate this old crappy broom!"
Then Akko turned around. "Professor! I found a special treasure! The Shiny Rod!"
"But we don't have time for that right now." Ursula said. Then she took a closer look at the Shiny Rod.
"The Seven Stars? I never thought they would shine again!" Ursula thought.
Then Petey started blowing huge breaths of fire. Causing everything to burn immediately.
Ursula thought on what to do, then she turned back to Akko. "Okay, Akko I'm putting you in charge. Take that rod and go to the Sorcerer's Stone right away!" Ursula told Akko.
"The Sorcerer's Stone?" Akko asked.
"He probably feeds on magical power, and most likely wants our source of magic the Sorcerer's Stone. So I'll keep him busy and you take the rod to the Stone. Diana you're coming with me."
"Y-Yes." Diana stuttered.
"Where is the Sorcerer's Stone anyways?" Akko asked.
"It's at the top of this tower, don't you remember that from class?" Sucy asked.
"W-Whatever! I have Chariot on my side! I'm not afraid of anything!" Akko shouted with pride.
Then Akko's broom headed straight up. She was screaming along the way.
Just then, Petey broke through the wall. And was outside again.
"Oh no! It's outside!" Ursula shouted. "Diana! I need you to help evacuate the student!"
"Alright." Diana responded and flew downwards.
"I need to distract him somehow!" Ursula shouted. Then she made a ball of magic. She lured Petey to bite it.
"Follow me!" Ursula cried and lured Petey away from the magic ball, Petey flapped his leaves and followed.
Akko, who was riding with Lotte. Was complaining about the ride. "I can fly myself you know!" Akko said.
"Of course you can! But it might've taken you all day!" Then the trio headed for the peak of the tower.
Then Petey turned around and headed back to the tower.
"Hey!" Ursula shouted as Petey was heading back towards the tower. "You like the younger ones better?"
Sucy turned around and saw Petey flying towards them. "He's here." Sucy said.
"WWWOAAHH!" Akko screamed. "Lotte step on it!" And luckily they got out of the way just as Petey bit down.
"I'll see what I can do." Sucy said and flew down towards Petey. Then she threw two bottles of poison on Petey.
Instead of killing and hurting him, he got simultaneously stronger.
"Sucy!" Akko cried. "Her poison made him even stronger?"
"What will happen if he eats the Sorcerer's Stone?" Lotte asked.
Then instead of landing smoothly. Then crash landed on the top of the tower, because they didn't know how fast they were going.
"Ugh." Akko groaned. Then she noticed Lotte laying on the ground. "Lotte! Are you okay?"
She gave a weak groan in response.
Then the tower started to shake, Petey Piranha reached the top of the tower. Trying to break the roof to eat the stone.
Akko didn't know what to do. Then she remembered. 'Get the Shiny Rod to the Sorcerer's Stone.'
The stone and the rod started glowing momentarily.
Then the stone unleashed a beam of energy at the Shiny Rod.
"It's absorbing the stone's magic!" Akko said.
"Akko!" Ursula yelled from afar.
"Professor!" Akko shouted back.
"Give me the rod!" Ursula told Akko.
"I. I'm getting on it." Akko responded. "Wait! Watch out!"
Suddenly, Petey's leaf hit Ursula on her back and knocked her off her broom.
"PROFESSOR!" Akko screamed, and then the absorption ended. And Petey broke through the roof. Beginning to try and eat the stone.
"No!" Akko shrieked and shot a beam at the stone, causing it to be dismantled from its place and clanged to the ground.
"I can use this rod?" Akko asked.
Petey still continued to try and eat the stone.
"In that case..." Akko said, she charged forwards and jumped off the tower with the stone in her hand.
As she was falling she commanded. "Rod! Become my broom!" It did absolutely nothing.
"What? Why isn't it working?!" Akko cried.
Petey flew beside her and Akko screamed. And he opened his mouth to eat him.
"No! Don't come near me!" And she pointed the rod down and shot herself up. Landing on Petey's head.
Luckily the rod latched on Petey's petals and caught her fall. The stone was falling like a meteorite and Petey was dive bombing to eat it.
"Ugh. It's hopeless!" Akko moaned.
Then a voice played in her head from when she was a child. 'Remember, believing in yourself is your magic!' As Shiny Chariot once said.
Then Ursula slammed a rock on Petey's head, causing him to fling Akko off. Soon he maintained his balance.
"I must believe in myself!" Akko whispered, the rod glowed in response.
"Makmur Mikmur. Mektoral!" Akko chanted. "My Shiny Bow!" The rod then turned into a bow and shiny arrow.
Petey roared loudly. And Akko made a ball of green light in her palm.
"My Shiny Ark!" And released the arrow in his mouth, Petey ate it of course, thinking it was magic.
Petey hardly sallowed it. His stomach size was increasing and glowing green. He scaredy looked at the audience. Before it blew up.
The explosion turned into a dozen fireworks and Petey was sent flying, leaving a smoke trail behind him. And a small Star was shown to see how far he went. And another rift sucked him into another world.
Akko looked in awe at the firework show she made. Not knowing that she was still falling.
BGM Ends.
"Oh no! I'm going to die!" Then suddenly Diana grabbed ahold of Akko's arm.
"D-Diana?" Akko asked in shock.
"You don't need to thank me. It is my duty to evacuate the students safely." Diana said annoyed.
"The Magic released from the flower monster! It's going into the Sorcerer's Stone!" Akko shouted.
"By the way where did you learn to harness the power of the Shiny Ark?" Diana asked.
"Oh? It's because I heard Chariot's voice at the time." Akko replied. "But Diana, where did you learn about the Shiny Ark?"
Diana blushed. "What? I mean, I just heard about it somewhere before."
"Really? That seems hard to believe." Akko responded.
"It does not!" Diana replied back.
"You must like Shiny Chariot too!" Akko exclaimed.
"No I don't! Another word about this and I'll drop you right now!" Diana shouted.
"No! Please don't!" Akko shrieked.
Soon the Sorcerer's Stone returned to normal. And Luna Nova Witch Academy returned to normal.
Although the Rift teleported Petey out of the Ley Lines. And, but not into the real world. But as a part of a software malware. Petey was confused, as he was a jumble of white, green, and red code.
TO BE CONTINUED…
We are almost out of the single number era! A few nods to Super Mario Sunshine. The scene where Sucy uses poison and Petey hurls it back up. And as they fall through, Yeah that is a reference to Super Mario Sunshine. Where Petey's first fight. Mario and Petey are confused on what's happening, then they slowly look at each other and fall through the windmill. Anyway. I hope you enjoy the story and this chapter. And as we near the 10 mark! But before we're Out of Time. We're heading into overtime!
EPILOGUE…
Back at Hagukumi City. Bowser Jr and the Koopalings reached Pleasant Park. Simultaneously. The Rift Beacon was dismantled, and The Scientist was busy trying to fix it. While The Visitor and The Paradigm were trying to find a place to activate it.
"Hello!" Bowser Jr. called out. The Scientist instantly turned around.
"You wouldn't mind if I take that?" Ludwig answered.
In response. The Scientist held out his long blade and made a robotic grunt.
"Okay, Okay!" Bowser Jr. whined. "I see you don't want us to have it."
Larry and Roy walked up to The Visitor and The Paradigm.
"But do you mind if we BUILD our own?" Larry asked.
"Yeah, you robots seem like you have spare parts." Roy cocked.
The Visitor nodded at The Scientist. In response he administered a robotic grumble and reached into a Rift. Then tossed them a couple of dismantled parts. The Paradigm handed them a instruction pamphlet.
"Okay! Thank you!" Wendy giggled. "Now we need to find the final Rift Shard!"
"Iggy can build the Rift Beacon." Morton said.
"But where will we find the Rift Shard?" Iggy asked. "Everywhere was a Rift Zone! Mwuhahah!"
"Lettuce ask for assistance!" Larry shouted.
Roy and Wendy traveled towards Mihoshi Town, Larry and Roy went to Strawberry Hill. And Iggy, Morton and Lemmy stayed at Hagukumi City.
"Do you know if 'WE' have a Rift Shard?" Harry asked.
"If ya don't know. We can look else where, bwha." Iggy responded.
"First let me ask, what the heck are you?" Homare asked.
"We're Koopalings! Obviously!" Lemmy responded.
"Are you two responsible for that baby back there?" Morton asked.
Harry's jaw dropped to the ground, and Homare's cheeks blushed bright pink.
"Hagyu~?" Hugtan responded.
"Look lady, it was just a q-" Morton was interrupted by Homare shouting.
"NO WE ARE NOT! ME AND MY FRIENDS TAKE CARE OF HER!" Homare yelled.
"Ooh! I sense a love relationship, Bwahaha!" Iggy laughed like a maniac.
Homare growled, but before she could take a swing. Hana came by.
"We're back from shopping— oh? Who are these."
Iggy and Morton explained what their business was, meanwhile Lemmy was messing with Hugtan with a bouncy ball he had.
"So you come from the Mushroom Kingdom, and you're looking for Rift Shards to find a way home for your friend and yourselves?" Saaya asked.
"More or less." Iggy replied.
"Mushroom Kingdom?" Hana asked. "Isn't That where those two plumbers Mario and Luigi live?" Then Hana suddenly had a bright smile on her face. "Ohhh! I played this game! In Super Mario Bros. 3. Mario and Luigi fought seven Koopalings like you, his method of defeating them was-"
Iggy, Morton and Lemmy had unimpressed and annoyed looks. "Stomping on our heads?"
"Yeah that's exactly it! Wait, how did you guys know?" Hana asked.
"Morton was there when it happened." Morton replied. "MORTON WILL CRUSH MARIO ONEDAY!" Morton shouted and stomped the ground so hard, it shook all of Harry's Beauty Shop.
"Woah! Morton! Calm down!" Lemmy cried.
"It's the same NES my Daddy had! How did you pop out of it, I say!" Emiru asked.
"Beats me. Mwhaha!" Iggy responded.
Saaya and Ruru finished drawing a map. They so far drawn a line near Pleasant Park.
"It was somewhere around there." Ruru calculated.
Outside, The three Koopa Kids hopped back in their Koopaling Clown Cars.
Elsewhere, cleaning and repainting her Rocket. Lala tried to reason with Roy.
"I told you ~lun! Only The Visitor hijacked my Rocket!" Lala said.
"I know it blew through dimensional Rifts!" Roy shouted. "Don't let this get harder than it needs to be."
"But I don't think it left any 'Rift Shards' behind!" Lala pleaded.
"Look." Roy said in a annoyed tone. "Either YOU tell me where it is." Then Roy pulled out his Bazooka. "Or I shoot a couple of Bullet Bills at your Rocket, deal?"
Hikaru eyed Roy suspiciously. He eyed her back.
"Whatcha lookin' at?" He commanded.
"Just, please don't shoot at her Rocket." Hikaru responded.
"Then you outta tell him where it is!" Wendy said in a singsong voice.
"Can't we all just calm down?" Elena asked.
"Wait." Yuni interrupted. "I believe I have a idea where it is."
Madoka and Yuni pulled out a map. And drew a red line around where the Retail Row Rift Zone was.
"Somewhere around here." Madoka said.
"Safe Travels! Lun!" Lala told them.
"It better be around there." Roy replied and took off.
Finally Larry and Ludwig reached Strawberry Hill. Where the KiraPati was set up around the shopping district.
"Do you have any idea where a Rift Shard was?" Larry asked.
"A Rift Shard?" Akira asked.
"And? Where do you think that might be?" Yukari asked Larry.
"That's what I was trying to ask you!" Larry shouted.
"Oh? You don't know?" Yukari smiled and giggled softly. "How sad."
Larry cliched his teeth in frustration and grumbled.
"Move aside Larry." Ludwig announced. "I'll handle this."
Ludwig slapped a map of Strawberry Hill on the front counter. Ichkia and her friends examined the map.
"Now I want you to draw a simulation of where you think that Rift Crystal is." Ludwig said. "Don't make this hard in yourselves ladies."
"Hmm, well all we know is, that it is most likely somewhere around here." Ciel pointed to a line she drew.
"Now that wasn't so hard was it?" Ludwig said.
Larry shook his hands puzzled. "That's literally what I tried to tell them!"
"Larry, you don't think don't you?" Ludwig said. "Come on, we're going."
"Ugh, fine." Larry agreed.
Then finally at Pleasant Park. Bowser Jr. was waiting for his siblings to return. Eventually they came one by one.
"So?" Bowser Jr. said hopping out of his Junior Clown Car. "Did you find any evidence?"
"All we got were these sheets with lines drawn on them." Larry responded.
"Excellent!" Bowser Jr. exclaimed.
After forming the map in several ways. None of the Koopa Kids could figure it out. Eventually Kamek found a way around it.
"I think it goes like this." He said, and used his wand to form a triangle where the map corners perfectly formed together.
"Ah Yes!" Ludwig exclaimed. "The center of the triangle is definitely where it is!"
"So they weren't lying after all." Roy grumbled.
"Let's go retrieve it then!" Iggy shouted.
The triangle substantially led them where the Rift sucked all the Pretty Cure In.
"There it is!" Bowser Jr. exclaimed.
He pocketed the last Shard and hopped back in his car.
"Okay brethren! Let's get back home and find that suit for Dad!" He shouted.
All the Koopalings agreed and headed back home.
