BGM: Toad Town (Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story)
"I never knew you guys used to be carpenters!" Lillie exclaimed, putting things up in her store while Mario and Luigi were helping building the shop.
"We used to be back in the day, but now we're just regular plumbers!" Mario chuckled.
"What made you stop doing it, anyway?" Lillie wondered.
"Eh, got too tedious for us." Luigi said. "Not to mention Foreman Spike wouldn't stop giving me the evil eye…" He sweatdropped.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Mario sighed. "Let's just say I had… issues back at New Donk City that I don't like to bring up…"
"Let's just say it didn't paint a pretty picture after DK kidnapped Pauline." Luigi whispered.
"Anger management issues?" Lillie whispered back.
"No, carpenting was stressing the heck out of him and that little incident made him snap. Trust me, you don't want to know what he did with him after rescuing Pauline. Let's just say I'm glad we went to plumbing after we got some sense knocked into him."
"Oooof, I'm not even going to pry."
"Good idea."
Mario shook it out of his head, going back to his usual smile. "But hey, let's not worry about that. We're almost done!"
"Yay!" Lillie smiled, then they heard footsteps approaching. "Sorry, my shop is almost ready, so please be-" Lillie turned around. "Oh, hi Sun."
"Have you seen RWBY around anywhere?" Sun asked.
"I think they went on a trip with DK…" Luigi said.
"Agh, typical! First they go to that Blazblue whatever the heck it's called and now they're hanging out with DK. Ugh… I was wanting to introduce them to someone."
"Who is it?" Lillie asked.
"They're from my neck of the woods, Vacuo. I invited them over here to check the place out and wanted to introduce them to RWBY, but apparently, that'll have to wait."
"Them?" Mario asked, and then hammered in the last nail. "It's done!"
"Woohoo! Thanks guys!" Lillie beamed. "Oh, Luigi, this was shipped over here and I thought you might use it." She said, tossing it to Luigi. "It's a special kind of nectar for Kagura. One little sip and she'll change styles!"
"Hmm, interesting." Luigi mused.
"If you ever need a form change, I'll have 'em ready for you once my store opens." Lillie smiled.
"Ahem!" Sun cleared his throat.
"Oh, sorry Sun. Who are these guys?"
"Well, one of them is a team like RWBY, but there's a few more of them that like to hang out together." Sun turned his head and whistled. "Hey guys, over here!" He waved as a group of nine approached them. "May I introduce to you, Teeeeam ATMC and friends!"
"Oooooh!" All three of them exclaimed in awe.

Back at DK Isle…
BGM: Snide's HQ (Donkey Kong 64)
"Not bad! Not bad at all!" Snide exclaimed, taking the blueprints. "These are the exact blueprints I need to stall the Blast-O-Matic!" He said. "Good on ya."
"Thank you!" Ruby smiled.
"Soooo, you're actually a weasel?" Blake asked. "How exactly should we trust you?"
"Ah, you're a smart one!" Snide mused. "But don't fret, I'm not the kind of weasel to turn my back on you at the last second. Besides, if it'd be anyone, it'd be that two-timin' crocodile with that ugly witch!"
"Hmm… if you say so…" Blake folded her arms, still not trusting him.
"I still need a lot more blueprints, but this is a start!" Snide said.
"We'll keep an eye out for them." Ruby nodded as the four of them walked out, while Blake had her arms folded. "What's wrong, Blake?"
End BGM
BGM: Jungle Japes (Donkey Kong 64)
"Mmm… I don't trust him. Something doesn't feel right."
"Is it because of him working with K. Rool before?" Ruby asked.
"Yeah." Blake nodded. "I'm sure he means well, but… eh… I'm not sure what to think."
"You'll probably come around." Ruby said and then remembered something. "Oh! We need to get you a new weapon! I'm sure Funky will give you something!"
"Hmm, you think so?"
"Yeah, I mean, he did make me this boomerang after all!" Ruby brought it out with a grin.
"True. I'm curious to see what he has for me." Blake mused.
Donkey Kong made a few grunts to get their attention as they turned to see the two hopping in the water and swimming to get to a cave entrance, where the girls did the same and reunited with the Kongs, then they walked through the cave, knocking out a few Gnawties in the way and they walked into a new area, where it was suddenly raining. "What the… it was clear just a minute ago!" Ruby exclaimed.
"That's what happens when you're in a rain forest." Blake said as they walked through the rain and saw a hut up ahead. They quickly ran over to the hut and dried off. "That rain's coming down hard!"
"Aw, what's the matter, afraid of a little rain!" A voice exclaimed as they turned over to see Cranky Kong mixing some potions.
End BGM
BGM: Professor E. Gadd (Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time)
"You're not gonna melt, it's not that bad out there!" Cranky exclaimed.
"Well, maybe you should walk out there for five seconds, then we'll see who's complaining." Ruby said, and then a loud thunderclap roared through the area.
"Bah! That's nothing!" Cranky folded his arms. "So! Who's the girl?"
"Her name's Blake Belladonna." Ruby said.
"Sounds a lot better than Ruby Rose." Cranky muttered a bit. "Though she looks cat-like… must be my imagination. Though, you need a haircut. No one has long hair like that! Take it off the top or something, it's unnatural!"
"It's fine just the way it is." Blake said. …Although, I could… nah, I'm fine. Maybe just a little bit though?
"Anyway, you look like you need a potion!" Cranky said and handed Blake the potion. "Drink up, it has a five second time limit before it expires."
"What?!"
"I was joking! You kids today don't know how to take a joke! Ugh, my jokes are wasted on the youth!" He complained as Blake downed it.
"So, what kind of special ability does she have?" Ruby asked.
"Boy repellent. Crazy boy repellent, that is. By crazy, I mean boys who are completely obsessed with you to the point where it's considered suicidal! This will knock them out of their senses in an instant to the point where they'll forget about the obsession and go back to what they were originally before!"
Blake sweatdropped. "I… don't have boy trouble." Adam's not THAT bad… right? She thought to herself.
"Better safe than sorry!" Cranky said. "Ahem, as for you, Diddy. Your Final Smash stinks! I think it's time for you to get a new Final Smash."
The hut's door opened up. "Woo! It's raining like crazy out there." Funky said. "Instead of giving him a new Final Smash, I have a better idea!" He grinned. "Yo, Diddy, mind if you gave me your jetpack a bit?" He asked as Diddy pulled it out and gave him it. "Thank you!" He said, proceeding to tinker with it. "Oh, by the way, kitty cat! Here's a brand new weapon for ya." He said, handing Blake a whip.
"A whip?" Blake wondered, seeing that the hilt was white and the whip itself was black with white trim.
"Ooooh!" Ruby looked at it with sparkling eyes. "That is so cool! Now you'll be just like the Belmonts!"
"I guess." Blake shrugged. "So, anything special about this?"
"I've added a feature to it that will extend its range with how hard you flick your wrist. For example…" Funky took the whip outside and with a flick of his wrist, the whip went so far, it knocked a Gnawty senseless thirty feet away. "Like that!"
"I don't think Blake can do it that hard… considering you Kongs are really strong." Ruby sweatdropped.
Funky laughed. "Fair enough!" He chuckled and handed it to Blake. "Here ya go." He grinned as Blake threw it as hard as she could, which was about twelve feet. "Oooh, twelve feet. Not bad!"
"Good enough." Blake nodded and hooked it to her hip.
"What are you gonna name it?" Funky asked.
"Oh! I got it! Gambol Whip! No no no wait! Shroud Whip! No… Whip Shroud! …That's even worse."
"Hmm, I think I'll go with… Shadow Whip." Blake smiled.
"Shadow Whip it is!" Funky exclaimed.
"Sounds like the first part belongs from a theme song! Lousy kids being unoriginal…" Cranky grumbled while they walked back inside.
"Oh, by the way, Diddy. Here's your new jetpack. It now homes in on your enemies, also lets you go hog wild with it by blasting away all over the place, then it'll home in on your opponents and it's curtains for them in a spectacular explosion!"
"Hoo hoo!" Diddy cheered, sounding mighty intrigued.
"Alright, now that you got your upgrades, y'all go get the banana horde!" Cranky said. "Oh, you might want to stop that racket nearby. It sounds like two Kritters are taunting someone nearby."
End BGM
The four of them walked out of the hut to see what the commotion was all about, then saw two Critters locking something up.
BGM: Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)
"That should hold 'im!" A Kritter said.
"I didn't think that'd work."
"It did! Thank the crocodiles that it did."
"What's going on?" Ruby asked, letting out a small sneeze from the rain storm.
"Ah, we got this bad boy all locked up in a box. We won't be Kritter-kebobs anymore, no sir!" A Kritter smirked.
"Yeah, it's a good thing we locked up that stupid rhino!"
Donkey Kong's eyes widened and then quickly backhanded the two away, then he pulled the bars away and then punched the box to free Rambi.
End BGM
BGM: Battle For Storm Hill (Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat)
Rambi let out a loud roar as the Kritters got up and saw what happened. "OH CRUD!" Both of them yelled as Rambi charged them, stampeding over them and quickly charged at everything within the vicinity, taking out any Gnawty or Kritter in the way, smashing through rocks.
"What in sam hill is going on out here!" Cranky yelled and saw what was going on. "Dag nabbit, it's that dimwit!"
"Heeeey Rambi! Good to see you!" Funky waved.
"What is it with this buffoon always getting the spotlight first! Pah! I'll have some words for him when he's done with his rampage!"
"His name's Rambi?" Blake asked as the two Kongs nodded. "Okay then."
"Someone get Army Dillo in here, STAT!" A Kritter yelled into an intercom. "We're gonna need the big gu- WAIT WAIT WAIT, DON'T COME THIS WAY! NOOOOO!"
End BGM
"Ooooh! That'll hurt!" Ruby winced while the Kongs cheered Rambi on until the rhino finished his rampage and walked back toward the four. He spotted Ruby and Blake, walking to the duo and nuzzled against the two. "Hahaha! You're a cutie, aren't you?" She giggled.
Suddenly, they heard explosions as they turned around to see a huge armadillo rolling in until it came to a complete stop. It was none other than Army Dillo. "Nyahahaha! Good to meet you suckers!"
"Oh, it's a big ol' armadillo." Ruby said nonchalantly, and then Army Dillo summoned his cannons. "…That has cannons. Oh dear."
BGM: Jungle Joust (Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Donkey Kong Adventure)
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong growled while Rambi kicked his left foot as if he's ready to charge, then Ruby and Blake took out their weapons. Army Dillo quickly launched fireballs at them, which forced them to dodge as Rambi charged right at Army Dillo and smacked him in the head to knock him back. "Argh!" Army Dillo growled and rolled into the rhino to knock the heavy creature back. Rambi shook it off while Diddy took out his jetpack and fired his peanut popguns at him, but the large shell made them bounce off. Not even Ruby's Boomerang or Blake's Whip could do damage. Blake threw an orange grenade at him, but he hid in his shell for protection. However, Donkey Kong jumped over and punched him square in the shell to knock him back.
"Rrrgh! You can't even touch me!" Army Dillo laughed as Ruby noticed a TNT Barrel nearby as she ran over and summoned her Rose Palm and blasted it over to him, where it rolled away and slammed into Army Dillo who was busy firing at Blake and Diddy. The TNT Barrel exploded and knocked Army Dillo silly, where he suddenly got electrocuted from his own weapons. "Yooowch!" He yelled, falling unconscious, giving Rambi enough time to charge and slammed into Army Dillo's head for extra damage, thrusting his horn up to make him roll on his back, which Donkey Kong jumped up and punched Army Dillo's soft underbelly, then Ruby launched Blake over with her Palm that Blake summoned her Belladonna Claws and slashed him, then jumped back once Army Dillo was got back up.
Army Dillo jumped into the air and slammed into the ground, making a huge shockwave that knocked Rambi over while the others jumped over. Rambi got back up and let out a loud roar, steam coming out of his nostrils and charged at him, slamming his horn into him that knocked him sideways before he could fire another fireball. Diddy Kong would fire his Peanut Popguns at him while Ruby threw her boomerang with its blade out to deal extra damage, and then Rambi slammed into him again while Donkey Kong charged up his DK Punch and jumped up, punching his shell to fully electrocute him again and the force was enough to shatter his entire shell.
"Ack!" Army Dillo tried to run off, but Donkey Kong grabbed him by the tail and threw him to the ground, whistling toward Rambi who quickly charged at Army Dillo and with a mighty thrust from his horn, he was launched high into the air, where he exploded into stars right after.
End BGM
"Take that!" Ruby yelled, where it had stopped raining right after… and it started raining 25 Golden Bananas after Army Dillo had exploded. DK and Diddy went wild and quickly beat their chests in celebration. "Sooooo uh… should we do that too?" Ruby asked.
"Let's not, it'd be weird." Blake responded.
"Aww…" Ruby pouted before shrugging it off. Funky Kong came by and handed the two a whistle.
"It's a Rambi Whistle. Blow on it and Rambi will come to your aid, no matter where you are!"
"What if we're across the ocean?" Ruby asked.
"Don't worry, he'll come!" Funky chuckled, watching Rambi walk off and started grazing.
Blake walked over to the banana horde and picked something up. "What's with this key?" She wondered.
"Oh! That's probably for a keyhole to unlock for K. Lumsy!" Ruby said.
"K who now?"
"I'll show you. Come on guys! We have friends to find!" She said as the two Kongs nodded and took off with Blake following them back on the beach.
BGM: DK Isle (Donkey Kong 64)
"Alright, now let's head over to-… do you guys hear something?" Ruby asked as Donkey Kong and Diddy turned their heads to find the source of the noise. "Oh good, you hear it too."
"Where's that coming from?" Blake wondered as the two Kongs ran off to the source of the noise, the girls following the two as they all came across a bear strumming his banjo while looking out toward the ocean. Donkey Kong and Diddy gasped and let out happy monkey noises. "Is that a bear playing a banjo?"
"Huh, just when I thought I've seen it all…" Ruby said, and then the bear turned his head to the four. "Oh crap, he spotted us! Uh… play dead! That usually works, right?"
"That doesn't work!" Blake exclaimed.
"Well, it works on TV!" Ruby exclaimed as the bear got close to the two before letting out a smile.

BGM: Spiral Mountain (Banjo Kazooie)
"Guh-huh! Donkey Kong! Diddy! Good to see you two again!" He exclaimed, hugging the two apes. "Who are your friends?" He asked as the two explained who they were. "Ah, I see!" He walked over to the two with a happy grin. "Nice to meet you, Ruby and Blake!"
"You understood that? …Oh who am I kidding, of course you'd understand that." Ruby chuckled.
"Who are you?" Blake asked.
"The name's Banjo! I'm good friends with these two right here. Hey Kazooie, come on out! We have new friends!" He grinned as Kazooie popped out of his backpack.
"Whoa! Who's the red head and the other girl?"
"Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna. Those two introduced us to them."
"Those fleabags? Huh… I didn't think they had human friends! Hello, I'm Kazooie!"
"Nice to meet ya!" Ruby grinned.
"So, what are you doing out here?" Blake asked.
"We got captured by that ugly hag, but we managed to escape." Kazooie said.
"Ooooh! Was it really epic?" Ruby asked.
Earlier…
"You ready?" Banjo asked, holding Kazooie horizontally
"Ready!"
"Alright, let 'er rip!" Banjo exclaimed, pulling Kazooie's legs back like a motor, then he put on a welding mask and then started drilling through the dirt wall, casually whistling while doing so.
Back in the present…
"Heheh, something like that." Banjo chuckled. "So, y'all got captured too?"
"Yeah, all our friends are missing." Blake said.
"Well now, let's go find them!" Banjo exclaimed. "K. Rool and Gruntilda won't get away with this!"
"Right! But first, we need to do something first." Ruby said, holding out a key as they headed over to K. Lumsy's prison.
End BGM
"That's K. Lumsy?!" Blake asked, surprised to see how big he is.
"Yup!" Ruby nodded, unlocking the first lock which made K. Lumsy thrilled and jumped up and down in celebration, knocking everyone over while disintegrating a rock that blocked off Angry Aztec.
"Did something explode?" Banjo wondered.
"I was wondering the same thing." Blake agreed.
"Come on, let's go check it out!" Ruby grinned as the five of them took off to go see what had opened up on the isle.
Meanwhile, with Red…
Red picked up a Pokeball. "Alright, that's one Vulpix down. Now need to find the Alolan variant." He said and then saw a girl walking around. He walked over to her. "Hey, miss!"
The girl turned around to him. "Hmm?"
"Have you seen an Alolan Vulpix around here? I'm trying to find one."
The girl raised an eyebrow. "Alolan Vulpix? What in the bloomin' hell do you want with that?"
"You know, a Vulpix that's an Ice type?"
"Nope! No such thing 'ere! We have Galarian variants, not Alolan!"
"Oh! Sorry, my mistake… I thought there were Alolan variants here." He said, sheepishly rubbing the back of his head. "Sorry to bother you."
"Ah, don't worry about it, mate! It's all good." She smiled.
Red turned around. "See ya!" He waved and walked away.
"By the way! What region are you from?"
"Kanto!"
"Kanto? Haven't really been there…"
"I also hang out at the Smash Mansion."
"Smash Mansion? Sounds interesting! Take me there, I want to see it for meself."
"What? I don't think that's-"
"Nope! No buts about it, I'm going with you!"
Red sweatdropped. "Oh, alright… just don't get in my way."
"Ha! That won't be a problem." She chuckled.
"Oi! You!" A voice exclaimed as the two of them turned to see another trainer approach them. "I don't know who you are, but you do not belong here in Galar. You reek of another region. Only the top dogs live here in Galar and you are messing up my groove. Now go bugger off."
"Hey Bede, there's no need for that!" The girl exclaimed.
"You can't tell me what to do, Gloria!" He exclaimed, pushing her down.
"Hey! That was uncalled for." Red growled, pulling out a Pokeball, but then Gloria got back up. "You okay?"
"Let me handle this." Gloria glared at Bede. "Bede, I have one thing to say to you."
Bede smirked. "Oh really? Let's hear it."
Nearby…
"Oooh, you're a cool looking Zigzagoon!" Umber exclaimed.
BGM: Random Bagpipes
"YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHITE, YOU KNOW THAT?!"
"Huh?" Umber turned around to see the three, then turned his head somewhere else. "Why do I hear bagpipes?"
"I HAVE BEEN PUTTING UP WITH YOUR SHITE FOR A LONG TIME, BUT NOW YOU FOKIN' DONE IT! I AM GOING TO FOKIN' MESS YOU UP, LAD! I AM GOING TO MESS YOU UP WORSE THAN WHAT MY POKEMON HAVE DONE TO YOURS! NOW COME HERE SO I CAN SHOVE MY BOOT RIGHT UP YOUR ARSE!"
Red paled a bit, backing up a bit while sweatdropping. "Oh no… she's Scottish…"
"Wait, Gloria! I was just messing around! Take it eas- WHERE'D YOU GET THAT LEAD PIPE?!" He screamed as Gloria tackled Bede to the ground, all the while Umber saw this with a jawdrop.
"…Nothing to see here, just moving along…" Umber said and then took off running.
Once Gloria was done KO'ing Bede, she turned around back to Red and happily grinned. "So! Let's go!" She said and took off with a skip while a few stars circled around Bede.
"Oooogh..."
"…Dear Arceus, what did I get myself into?" Red let out a whimper, and then Gloria grabbed his hand.
"I said "come on!'" She exclaimed and yanked him away.
"WHOA!"
I straight up hate Bede with a passion. I only have two gym badges, I just beat him up in Galar Mines 2 and I'm wishing for him to jump off a bridge with no water at the bottom. Yeah. Marnie is slowly turning into best Poke girl while Hop is a total bro.
Team Scorbunny, where you at, y'all!
Anyway, Banjo is officially here! Now is this mysterious Team ATMC? We'll just have to find out!
