Paper Mario, Paper Luigi, Paper Peach, and Paper Bowser are walking through the swampy forest of Gloam Valley trying to reach Merlee's Mansion. The only sounds word leaves rustling and, now and again, a bird chirping.
Paper Luigi: "It's so quiet here."
Paper Bowser: "How long are we going to walk through this swampy forest ?! I swear why does Merlee have to live in the middle of nowhere in this swampy forest ?!"
Paper Peach: "Now now Bowser. We'll get there soon, don't get all impatient on us."
Paper Bowser: "I'm just so sick of walking through all this mud and gunk, and all these bugs flying around me."
Paper Mario: "We're getting closer to Merlee's house I know it."
Paper Bowser: "You better !"
Soon all that walking changed, after a few minutes Bowser found an old drum along their trail.
Paper Bowser: "Hey guys ! Take a look at this !"
Paper Luigi: "Hey it looks like an old TomTom, I bet it's only a few hundred years."
Paper Mario: "There's a red stain on it."
Paper Luigi: "That looks like somebody's blood !"
Paper Peach: "Bowser drop that drum and get going."
Paper Bowser: "Chill out guys, what's this blood stain going to do ? You don't know if someone got killed or something, there's no dead body. I speculate that someone drop this drum while they had some cut. Plus, I want to try out this drum."
Bowser sat down on the ground and held between his legs. He beat on it with one hand, than the other, slowly at first, then faster and faster, almost as if he could not stop. Suddenly there were shouts in the forest and the sound of stomping. A cloud of dust Rose from behind the line of trees. A group of Skellobit are running towards the paper gang.
Paper Mario: "Let's go, they're heading towards us."
Paper Luigi: "Bowser ! Let's go !"
Paper Peach: "Hurry ! Drop that drum Bowser and run !"
Bowser dropped the drum and ran. One of the Skellobits threw a spear at Bowser. Then the Paper trio heard Bowser scream. When they turn around, they saw Bowser pitched forward dead. But there was no spear on his body, and there was no wound. The Paper trio looked around the area, there were no Skellobits, no footprints, nor hear the sound of them shouting and running. The only sounds they hear were leaves rustling and, now and again, a bird chirping. As for the drum, it disappeared.
