BGM: Delfino Plaza (Super Mario Sunshine)

Yang hopped out of the portal and groaned. "Ugh…" She grumbled and started to walk when the others had spotted her.

"Uh, Yang… you look… uh…" Ruby sweatdropped.

"I know. I'm going to take a dip in the ocean."

"I have a better idea." FLUDD said and squirted water all over her to get rid of the goop off of her.

"Phew, thanks!" Yang smiled.

"There you guys are!" A voice said as they turned to see Coco approaching them in a new tropical outfit, which was a two piece bikini that's dark-brown, and one of those see-through coverup on the bottoms. (What do you call that, exactly?) She also has a white sun hat with a flower design, which was also on her see through coverup.

"Trying a new outfit, are ya? That's not surprising." Yang teased.

"Yeah yeah… come on, let's get you into more tropical outfits." She said.

"Actually, we won't be doing that. We bought some swimsuits at Cheep Cheep Lagoon while we were saving the Mario Bros and Peach." Blake said.

"Oh, is that right? Neat… alright, the rest of you come with me!" Coco said as she suddenly pushed everyone into the clothing department, except for Daisy who was dressed for the occasion when Peach called her up.

"Sooo… where's our swimsuits?" Ruby asked.

"At the hotel in Sirena Beach. Come on, I'll show you where it is. In fact, we'll take the short cut." She said, pointing to the top of a building where they saw a red warp pipe.

"What the…? Why is there-"

Pause BGM

"Don't question it." Yang chuckled and took them into the warp pipe leading to Sirena Beach and showed them to their hotel room, which conveniently had the same bed layout as in RWBY's room. "I thought I'd make it more homely, y'know?"

"…Did you do this all by yourself?" Weiss asked.

"Yup! I wanted to get my mind off things while you three were in jail." Yang grinned. "Now let's get changed!"

"Heck yeah!" Ruby grinned.


Meanwhile…

BGM: Apparel Shop (Pokemon Sun and Moon)

Coco pushed them all into dressing rooms and shoved all the fashionable outfits she could find and threw them in there. "Don't come out until you're fashionable!"

"Isn't that a little extreme?" Velvet asked, who was in a brown one piece.

"Ah, they'll be fine. I got you guys situated." Coco chuckled as she found a light green swimsuit for Yatsuhashi, and a red swim suit for Fox. Taiyang had a Hawaiian yellow shirt with a few flower on it with blue swim trunks while Qrow's idea of being fashionable was unbuttoning his shirt, much to Coco's dismay while poor Phoenix protested at keeping his business attire on, Coco wasn't having it and changed his appearance to a blue swimsuit… while painting a tie around his neck, while Maya was all for the idea and put on a purple two piece while having a blue cloth over her thighs, and had sunglasses over her head.

One by one, everyone started coming out, with Pyrrha wearing a bronze bikini with a fabric tied around the bottoms to look like a skirt as it is red. And the top, with a similar design to her armor, pretty much covers much, so no cleavage for you!

Jaune… well, he tried. A blue full body swimsuit with a bunny face on the chest. A swimsuit version of his pajamas, if you will. Ren had Green trunks with his symbol on one of the legs and as for Nora, she had a two-piece bikini, pink top, white bottoms, and a pink, sleeveless over-shirt.

Mario had the Sunshine outfit that he wore in the game after completing the game while Luigi had a dark green Hawaiian shirt that's filled to the brim with ghosts as he's also wearing light blue shorts and sandals while Peach had her outfit on from what she wore in the game. The Nohrian and the Hoshidan princesses along with their retainers, plus Percy, had their own swimsuits to wear.

For JINX, Jade had a green and black one piece swimsuit both with normal Mimikyu and Shiny Mimikyu back to back, Iris had a two piece light blue bikini that didn't show too much as they also had feathers painted on the left side of the bra. Nyx had a two piece silver swimsuit with a bikini top that is tied on around the back and the neck, the bottom is normal as well but has a black ribbon tied on around the waist that goes down to her thigh at the ends. Xena had a light purple two piece swimsuit where the top has straps connected to her neck and going down her back as it shows off just a bit of her cleavage on the top and her bottom is fairly modest and showing a bit of her thighs, but not too much. She's also wearing light green flip flops.

Jen looked at Anthony. "What, you not changing into something more comfortable?"

"Nah, I'm good. I'm tough as nails." He smirked.

"Suit yourself." Jen said as she casually walked into the changing room where she would come out donning a two-piece bikini colored a chocolate brown with a golden sheriff's badge decal on the right breast of the bikini top. Camrin would come out with a pair of close fitting long board short swim trunks that nearly reach down to his knees - colored a light green with a decorative wind pattern and Mona would come out with a one-piece swimsuit with a star cut-out exposing her belly button (interestingly the same size as her pendant), colored a metallic gold.

As they came out, they noticed Anthony was missing as he would be coming out wearing a regular pair of swim trunks colored a bright orange with a white wave pattern - the trunks also had quite a number of hidden pockets on them.

"Tough as nails, huh?" Jen deadpanned.

"I couldn't handle the heat any longer!" He complained. "…Also..." He looked down at his swim suit. "REAL funny, Jen."

"It fits you perfectly, you little criminal you." Jen said, unaware that she just winked at him.

"You just winked at me."

Jen blushed. "I did not! I do not wink at criminal scum like you!" She said and walked off.

"She likes you." Camrin said.

"I do not!"

"Yeah, I'm not interested in a wacky cop like her anyway." Anthony said and walked off.

"They are going to be together at the end of this trip." Mona said.

Camrin chuckled. "Wanna bet?"

"Ten coins."

"You're on. Prepare to lose those shiny coins of yours."

"They are mine and will forever be mine!" Mona said and walked off.

"…I'm surprise this team hasn't killed each other yet…" Nyx said.

"Agreed." Everyone nodded as they walked out.

Resume Delfino Plaza BGM

"Alright, let's find some more Shine Sprites!" Yang said after they returned from the hotel and after they regrouped.

"Yeah!" Everyone exclaimed… and suddenly, they heard something.

"This is a D.E.B.S. alert! There have been reports of an alien sighting over at Bianco Hills. I repeat, an alien has been spotted over at Bianco Hills. This alien looks like some sort of purple space bat thing. It does not appear hostile but proceed with caution if you are going to Bianco Hills."

"An alien sighting? This I gotta see!" Sarge said as he took off into the portal leading to Bianco Hills.

"Someone will have to go after him." Washington said as RWBY, Mario, Peach, Daisy, JINX, went in… and Church started to push Grif in.

"Hey! HEY! What are you doing?!"

"Just don't ask any questions!" Church said and pushed him in.

"This is a D.E.B.S. alert! I forgot to mention that the Boat House has sunk into some mysterious goop. Proceed with extreme caution!"

Hana looked over to see the Goop Generator. "I'm on it!" She said and ran toward it.

"I am coming too!" Mona ran off.

"…I'll keep an eye on her." Camrin said and walked off while Sakura, Subaki, Elise and her retainers and Percy went with them while everyone else decided to find other Shine Sprites, unaware of the girl and Guzma seeing them go into the portal leading into Bianco Hills.

"Do you think-" The girl wondered.

"That fit the description perfectly." Guzma nodded and then hopped into the portal as well.

BGM: Bianco Hills (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Alright, where is that alien?" Sarge wondered as they wandered into the village where Grif had spotted something up on the rooftop.

"What's with these Red Coins?" Grif asked.

"Oh, we put them there for a scavenger hunt for anyone who wanted to try it." A Pianta said. "Unfortunately, no one really cared to try it yet. It's a shame too… a Shine Sprite forms into one after you collect eight of them. At least, that's what I heard." He said.

"…How does eight coins turn into a Shine Sprite?" Yang asked.

"How does eight coins turn into a Power Star?" Weiss asked her.

"…Fair point."

"At times like this, I just tell myself "Don't even question it"." Weiss said.

"Well if you'll excuse me, I'll be collecting these red coins!" Grif took off.

"Oh no, you don't Grif! Those red coins are MINE!" Sarge yelled and took off after him.

"…Should we keep an eye on them?" Blake asked.

"Probably." Jade said as they walked over to keep an eye on the Red dorks… while the girl and Guzma entered the village and heard a loud chirping to their left.

"There you are." Guzma said as they walked over to the other side, where the boy from before spotted them.

Lillie?! Guzma?! Uh oh… He thought as he pulled out some sunglasses and put them on. Just ignore them… He thought.

The girl, Lillie, approached him. "There you are, Umber! We were looking all over for you!" She said, folding her arms. "What do you have to say for yourself?" She asked, but Umber was "snoring" soundly. "…Umber!"

"You're too soft." Guzma walked over to him. "Besides, I know this trick anyway. Sleeping with sunglasses on? Oldest trick in the book!" He said and then yanked them off. "Rise and shine, doofus!"

"Ack! Lillie! Guzma! How are you doing?"

"Don't act so casual with us!" Guzma pulled him up by his collar. "What's the big idea, huh? You decide to bail on everyone because you thought it'd be a good idea?"

"Hey, I was going to come back from my trip from Ultra Space… but apparently I made a wrong turn and ended up here instead. Not that I don't mind. How did you even find me anyway?"

Guzma pulled out a phone. "This lets us track your location from that Rotom Dex of yours."

"How did you-"

"I snuck in your house one night and decided to install something in him. Felt like I needed to… but hey, he didn't complain. However, Lillie thought I lost my mind when I told her."

"Breaking and entering… I thought you grew out of that." Lillie scolded.

"So I still have the Team Skull blood in me. Big deal."

"YOU installed something in me?!" The Rotom Dex flew up to them. "I thought I was having a nightmare on that particular night!"

"Relax, I didn't harm you." Guzma said. "…But anyway, you made a wrong turn and you didn't come back because…?"

"…Because I wanted to take a break from the Alola League for some time now, so I thought about taking a vacation for a while; a few weeks, months, even years maybe? I've postponed League matches because of this."

"Kid, I know you like being a loner, but why are you doing this?"

"…I don't want to say it…"

"What's wrong, you can tell your pals this!"

"I would rather leave it all for something like this!"

"What, too scared?"

"No, I'm not."

"Then what is it! Tell us, ya little squirt!"

"I think you're being too rough on him." Lillie told him.

"He's a trooper, he can handle it. Besides, the doofus is 16 after all."

"Because I want to leave it all behind because I can't take the pressure of being champion any longer! There, I said it."

Guzma raised an eyebrow. "You could've left it to that Hau kid, ya know…"

"Don't get me wrong, I like being the Alolan Champion, just not the pressure that comes with it. Besides, Hau or anyone else has to officially beat me in a battle first, something he has yet to do yet… Not like it matters…"

"Not like it matters?" Guzma growled. "NOT LIKE IT MATTERS?! HAVE YOU LOST YOUR ARCEUS DAMNED MIND?!"

"So what if I have? I'm not the one who became the leader of that stupid Team Skull that was disbanded!"

"Hey, this is not about me, kid! This is about you and-"

"Uh… are we interrupting something?" A voice asked as they turned to see the guys who came over.

"Uh… no!" Guzma dropped Umber.

"OOOF!"

"Who are you guys?" Yang asked.

"Umber Lightwave." Umber said.

"I'm Lillie."

Guzma smirked. "Me? Heheheh…"

Not again… Lillie thought.

"It's your boy, Guzma!" He laughed.

"…Uh, who?" Ruby asked, nearly causing Guzma to anime fall at this.

"You know. Guzma… Team Skull? Baddest team of Alola until SOMEONE destroyed it all…" He glared hard at Umber for that, who smirked back at him.

"Team what now?" Ruby asked as Guzma fell over.

"To be fair, Team Skull was disbanded several years ago." Lillie pointed out.

"Wait a minute..." Umber asked as he saw Mario and RWB. "Mario, Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, and Blake Belladonna?"

"You know us?" Blake asked.

"Not really, but I heard that you're the four who were put on trial."

"Trial? What'd they do?" Guzma asked.

"And how do you know about that, it was literally this morning?" Mario pointed out.

"You'd be surprised by how fast word gets around here." Umber answered.

"Seriously, what'd they do?" Guzma asked again.

"We were wrongly accused of a crime we didn't commit and now we're collecting these things called Shine Sprites while finding the perpetrators responsible for this." Weiss explained.

"And no one can leave until this whole thing is solved." Ruby added.

"Heh…" Guzma turned to Umber. "You can't get rid of us that easily."

"Unfortunately…" He muttered.

It was at that moment when Sarge started screaming and pointed to the same Pokemon he saw earlier. "It's a space alien!"

"…It's not an alien, it's a Pokemon named Lunala who's nickname is Nebby. She originated from space so… I guess she is an alien." Umber said.

"I KNEW IT!" Sarge yelled. "Aliens have come to destroy our world!" He said and suddenly picked up Grif. "Forgive us, alien overlord! I offer Grif as a sacrifice for our misdeeds!"

"WHOA! HEY! PUT ME DOWN, YOU MORON!"

All Nebby could do is just look at them with a sweatdrop. "Is he always like this?" Guzma wondered.

"Yup…" Weiss sighed.

Nebby flew down to them and it looked at the two and just shook her head and flew back up to fly around. "…Guess it doesn't like fresh Grif. Maybe if I roasted him with a flamethrower…"

"OH FUCK THAT!"

"She's harmless, don't worry." Umber said. Moron.

"She is?! …So I don't have to sacrifice Grif?"

"NO!" Everyone yelled.

"Dag nabbit!" Sarge complained and dropped Grif. Literally.

"OOOOF!"

Mario spotted something in the corner of his eye as he saw Shadow Mario on a hill. "You…" He growled and quickly ran over to him.

"Yo, Mario! Where are you going?" Xena asked.

"Stay right there! I'll be dealing with a certain someone!" Mario said and then did a triple jump and then used the Hover Nozzle to lift him up in the air where Shadow Mario disappeared into the wall, while a portal opened up for everyone else.

"…I'm gonna go help him." Peach said and then ran after Mario, jumped up and used her umbrella for an extra boost and then went inside while the others looked at the portal.

"I guess we're done here." Daisy said. "Such a shame, I wanted to see some action."

"Maybe some other time." Jade said as they started to walk into the portal and nearly bumping into Umber. "Oh, sorry."

"It's fine." Umber said as he stared into her eyes for a brief second before turning away. Totally not my type… right? He asked before looking at her for a second time before looking away, blushing a little. Nope. Not my type. He thought and walked into the portal.

He's kinda cute. Jade thought and walked in.


With Mario…

Mario looked around in a white void… before Shadow Mario yanked FLUDD off of him and then he disappeared into the void where Mario appeared in a new area.

BGM: Secret Course (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Where am I?" He wondered as he looked around and heard something as he turned around to see Peach landing near him. "Peach? I thought I told you-"

"Yeah, I know, but I got a bit worried." Peach admitted. "Besides, what if something were to happen to you and no one knew?"

"I'd be okay." Mario said.

"But would you really be okay?" Peach folded her arms with a knowing smile. "I know you're Super Mario and all that, but honestly, even heroes underestimate things at times."

"That… is a good point." Mario said and rubbed the back of his head. "That shadowy figure a few seconds ago stole FLUDD from me and I have no idea where we are."

"Well, we'll find FLUDD… we just gotta figure out where we are." Peach said as she noticed something. "And… there are more red coins here. Neat." She said as they went to grab the red coins. They climbed up the blocks and then hopped up to see moving blocks, so they carefully made their way across while grabbing the red coins as they could and then saw huge blocks going over and under the stage.

Mario and Peach both looked at each other with a nod and ran forward as Peach floated over to some platforms to grab the other Red coins and then safely floated back and landed near Mario where he grabbed the last Red Coin where a Shine Sprite appeared in their hands, and then saw a Shine Sprite several feet over.

"Two birds with one stone? I like it!" Peach smiled as they hopped over some star platforms and then hopped over to the final area where they grabbed the Shine Sprite and then saw FLUDD next to a tree. "Oh, FLUDD!"

"Hello, Mario and Princess Peach. Do you have any idea where I am?"

"No clue." Mario said as he strapped FLUDD back on to himself.

"I should advise Jade to install an anti-theft mechanism inside of me." FLUDD quietly said as they disappeared into the portal.

Meanwhile…

"Agh! There's a Shine Sprite right here but these stupid gates won't open!" Jaune exclaimed as he tried to open them but no such luck.

"Let me try." Pyrrha said as she tried to punch the gate, but to no avail as Ren tried to kick it but didn't do it any good either. "Hmm… these are surprisingly sturdy gates."

"Allow me!" Nora grinned as she hammered the gate hard enough to shatter it. "There we go!" She smiled and casually walked out with it as the Shine Sprite took off to the Shine Gate.

"Huh…" Jaune quietly said as they walked off.


With Luigi…

Luigi would find himself at a warp pipe just behind the Lighthouse. "Huh… odd place for a Warp Pipe to be in." He said before shrugging it off and jumping in, right as the Lighthouse suddenly sank into the ground thanks to Shadow Mario's shenanigans.

BGM: Sky & Sea (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Wah! Where am I?" Luigi asked as he looked down to see that he was on top of a huge slide with the Shine Sprite at the bottom, as he paled and felt his stomach turn before slapping himself. "I'm not going to let this get to me." He said as he took a deep breath. "On the count of three… one… two… THREE!" He yelled, launching himself and then sliding down, and hit a ramp as he went flying.

"AAAAAAH! THIS WAS A HUGE MISTAAAAAAAAAKE!" He yelled as he was falling for a long time… and then landed at the end, feeling like he landed on something and opened his eyes. "Oh… I made it? Phew!" He grinned. "I wasn't scared at all!" He lied.

"Liar." Hoopa teased.

"…Oh whatever." Luigi rolled his eyes and then grabbed the Shine Sprite, then entered the portal back to the plaza.

At Ricco Harbor…

"This is… peculiar." Mona mused, looking at a stack of boxes in the middle of the pier with a tentacle hanging out of one of them. "I know there's a shiny in there… get out of there!" She said as she started to pull the tentacle… and then with her strength, it snapped off.

Suddenly, a humongous Blooper launched out of the boxes where Mona looked up high into the sky… and then it landed on the ground with a huge thud, roaring loudly… as it was none other than Gooper Blooper.

"What the heck is that thing?!" Hana asked.

"I don't know, but that thing is going down!" Elise said, cracking her knuckles.

"No, I will handle this." Mona said as she walked over, cracking her knuckles. "You and me, freak."

BGM: Dream Sailing – Gooper Blooper (Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)

Gooper Blooper proceeded to slap her with the tentacles but she quickly dodged the attacks as she ran over to Gooper Blooper and then punched him in the face to knock him back. Gooper Blooper jumped back and tried to whack her with all of his tentacles, but she dodged every attack and then grabbed the near left tentacle first and yanked it off with her strength, as it flailed around as it yelped in agony.

"What's the matter? Missing a tentacle?" Mona smirked as she ran over and punched him, but he quickly grabbed her and squeezed her hard to try and squeeze the life out of her. "Nnngh… don't… count on it!" She said, and then used her muscles to break free and then pulled out a machete and then sliced its own tentacle hand thing off, as Gooper looked at it in surprise as she then ran forward and punched him hard enough to knock all of the goop off of his face.

Before Gooper could do anything, she grabbed him by the mouth and started to pull. He tried to whack her with the tentacles but realized he couldn't reach her, so all he could do is pretty much beg for mercy and then she let go, smacking his mouth back into him and knocked him down… only the cork in his mouth was destroyed. He got back up and was majorly pissed, as he jumped and sprayed ink everywhere with his mouth before spraying ink right at her.

"Whoa!" She quickly avoided the attack as she then ran over to him and punched him, not realizing that his tentacles regrew as he blocked the attack and then whacked her away before pounding her into the ground repeatedly, which she got back up after he was done. She was pretty banged up and bruised. "I can do this all day!" She smirked. "Now give me that shiny!" She exclaimed and then ran over to him, but he proceeded to spit a stream of goop at her to knock her down, though she shook it off and then noticed her locket was covered in ink.

"You… YOU DID NOT JUST DO THAT TO MY LOCKET!" She screamed and ran straight to him, punching him in the face repeatedly and before he could try anything, she jumped to his side and proceeded to impale him with her machete… multiple times as all he could do is cry out in agony. She then rolled up a punch similar to Donkey Kong and punched him hard enough to send him straight into the water below and out came a Shine Sprite.

"Oh my goodness!" Sakura exclaimed.

"Well… that's… one way to deal with a squid, I guess." Subaki said, while Effie came back with a pineapple.

"What'd I miss?" Effie asked.

"A brutal beatdown, that's what you missed, mom." Percy said.

"Now if you'll excuse me… I'll be taking a dip in the water!" Mona said as she ran and dove into the water where she then came out by climbing on a boat and cleaning off her locket.

BGM: Ricco Harbor (Super Mario Sunshine)

"She's a lively one, isn't she?" Arthur asked.

"Yeah. She's one of a kind, I'll give her that." Camrin said with a chuckle and then noticed something. "A Shine Sprite in a metal gate? Fascinating…" He mused as he climbed on a metal beam and started running off.

"Huh, nice balance." Elise said as they walked off while hopping down and then walked to the starting area. They noticed a few colorful Bloopers on a dock where they walked over to investigate. "What's all this?"

"Ah, this, my dear, is Blooper Surfing! All you have to do is hop on one of these and let them know where to go. One tap with your foot means go, two taps mean stop. They're quite lively and don't know how or when to slow down."

"S-Sounds dangerous…" Sakura said.

"And fun! We gotta try it!" Elise exclaimed.

"Alright, have fun!" The Pianta said. "Uh… you guys have insurance, do you?"

"What's Insur-" The Blooper took off with Sakura. "AAAAAAAAAANCE!" She screamed.

"…Oh dear…"

"Whoa, Sakura! Wait for me!" Elise took off after her as the retainers looked at each other and did the same thing with Percy hanging on to his mother's back… which was a good idea because poor Arthur kept slamming into things.

"Whoa… whoa!" Sakura exclaimed as she felt like she was about to fall off but she managed to maintain her balance.

"Sakura! You're getting the hang of it!" Elise cheered.

"Y-yeah, but this is still scary!" Sakura said and turned her head. "I mean, Arthur's having a rough time!"

"OW!" Arthur hit a ship as the Blooper corrected itself… and had him slam into a buoy. "OOOF!" It corrected itself again and had him slip into a metal gate. "GAH!"

The Pianta noticed this. "…Maybe I shouldn't have given that Blooper that hard lemonade…" He mused.

"OW! OOOF! OUCH! YOW!"

Percy looked behind him. "Hey Pa! Are you feeling alright?"

"Y-yeah! Just need to work out the-OOOF-kinks!"

"He's getting himself killed, isn't he?" Effie asked.

"Yup."

Effie sighed as she turned around and grabbed her husband before he actually got himself killed by the drunk Blooper. "I gotcha!"

"Thank you, my dear!" Arthur said. "Nothing can stop me!" He laughed. "Nothing! NOTHING!" He laughed confidently as Effie noticed the others jumping off of a ramp and going through a wall. Effie decided to do the same, but given how Effie's hands were wet… Arthur accidentally slipped off. "WAHOO! Watch me fly, honey!" He said as he prepared himself to land in Effie's arms safely… buuut he slammed right into a wall and fell into the ocean.

"Oh!" Percy and Effie winced as they turned around and grabbed the KO'd man before going into where the others were, while Camrin did a few jumping flips on some trampoline platforms and kept running as he jumped on one trampoline platform, and then another, and then finally jumped into the cage and did with his landing strategy, landing perfectly and saw the Shine Sprite in front of him.

"Gotcha!" He grinned as he went into the portal along with Mona after she did some swimming.

With the Nohrians and Hoshidans…

BGM: Secret Course

"Hey you kids! You want to go through this obstacle course and win a prize? Hop on any of these three Bloopers!"

"Um, Elise… h-how about you do this? You were doing better than me anyway…"

"Sure!" Elise nodded and then patted Sakura on the shoulder. "You'll get the hang of it." She giggled and then quickly took off, splashing them all in her wake as she quickly swerved through the blocks with ease. She then dodged the rotating platforms, where she then went through more blocks and turned the corner where she saw some low walls and bent her legs and then extended them, having the Blooper jump with her as they both went through two of the walls before landing perfectly. She took a sharp left and then when she returned to the others, she tapped her feet two times to stop her right at the finish line.

"Whoa! Thirty seconds! That's a record for sure! Here's your prize!" The Pianta said, giving her a Shine Sprite.

"Hooray!" Elise smiled.

"…Wait a minute, you gave her a Shine Sprite as a prize." Hana said suspiciously. "Why didn't you return it to the Shine Gate?"

"I was going to but… I… uh…"

"You decided to keep it for yourself. For shame." Elise said and then noticed something shiny out of his pocket. "You have another one, don't you?"

"No! I do not! You have no proof! Now get your nosy butt out of my business and go away, you annoying brat!"

Effie's eye twitched and grabbed the Pianta by the collar. "Yipe!"

"No one calls my best friend an annoying brat." She said coldly. "Now, you give us that other Shine Sprite you have and apologize to Lady Elise, or so help me, you'll be collecting something else other than Shine Sprites."

"Wh-what would that be?" He asked as he only saw the cold harsh glare the woman was giving him. "Okay okay okay! Here's the last Shine Sprite I have! I'm sorry! Don't hurt me!"

Elise took the other one. "Alright, Effie, you can let him go." She said.

"Consider this a warning, scumbag." Effie said and tossed him into the water and turned around and back to her usual demeanor. "Alright, shall we go?"

"Yeah!" Elise nodded and then they walked into the portal while the Pianta came out of the water.

"Hack! Plepth!" He groaned. "…Everyone's a critic."

Back in Delfino… specifically, where the box breaking is going on…

"Hiyah!" Pit exclaimed, firing several arrows at some boxes while Taiyang and Qrow took care of the rest of them until there was none left.

"Well done!" The Pianta cheered. "Here's your prize!" He said, handing them a Shine Sprite.

"Awesome, tha-wait a second…" Pit turned to the Pianta. "How many Shine Sprites are you holding?"

"What gives you that idea?"

"Your island is suffering from the Shine Sprite famine and you're holding a few of them hostage until someone breaks your boxes?" Pit asked.

"He has a point." Taiyang glared. "Why couldn't you take it back?"

"Well, you see… I… uh… it's good for business?"

"Uh-huh… sure… and you just got pick pocketed." Taiyang said.

"WHAT?!" He yelled as he turned to see Qrow holding the other Shine Sprite.

"Well, would you look at that." He chuckled. "…You're in serious trouble."

"You can't do this to me! I'm well known around here!" He said as Qrow casually walked outside.

"Hey cops! We got someone hoarding Shine Sprites over here!" He said, catching their attention as they quickly ran over to them and after the explanation, the poor Pianta was taken into custody.

"Heh, awesome." Pit chuckled.

"Yup." Taiyang smirked before it disappeared and then glared at the young angel. "So… what's this about you dating my daughter?"

Pit froze in place. "Uh… well…"


Near the lighthouse…

Mario took care of the black Polluted Piranha Plant with one last spray as it dove back into the ground and disappeared. "Six times, that's a new one." He said as Captain Toad emerged from the ground.

"Blegh!" He groaned as Mario cleaned him up. "Thanks! I was trying to chase that guy but he sucked me into the goop from that. I thought I was a goner!"

"Next time, be more careful."

"I will!" Captain Toad saluted and then the ground started to rumble. "Uh… why is the place rumbling?" He wondered and then the Lighthouse rose from the ground and taking Captain Toad with him. "WAAAAAAAH!"

"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed as the Lighthouse was back to normal… with Captain Toad up top. "Don't worry! I'll find a way to get you down!"

"This is just great…" Captain Toad muttered and then saw the rock on top of the Lighthouse. "Eh? What's this?" He wondered as he grabbed his pickaxe from his backpack and then started breaking it until a Shine Sprite was broken free from it. "Ooooh!" He grinned as he took the Shine Sprite as went back to the Shine Gate. "Ha! Another one down!" He smiled and then looked down. "It's a long way down but…" He dug into his backpack and pulled out a Propellor Shroom. "Never leave home without one!" He grinned.

He absorbed it and quickly spun up in the air as he was starting to come down toward the sand… but there was still one problem.

He still was wearing the heavy backpack.

"Wait… I SHOULD'VE THROWN THE BACKPACK TO THE GROUND FIRST!" He yelled and fell to the ground like a rock. The good news, was that the sand broke his fall. The bad news… he was now stuck. "I'm okay!" He said and then struggled. "Mmph… a little help!" He exclaimed, and then Mario helped him up.

"I gotcha!"

"Thanks, Mario!" Captain Toad exclaimed and walked off as Mario turned his head, seeing the same mysterious M portal on the lighthouse as he turned around and went to go tell the others.


If anyone wants to know what I thought about E3, go find my E3 review on my latest chapter of Touhou: Twilight Princess. (I don't feel like repeating myself. XP) But uh, my apologies if I didn't talk about Spider-Man in that review. As soon as I got to Sony, I wanted to cut to the chase and go straight for talking about Kingdom Hearts 3 and spaced Spider-Man, unfortunately. (My man Rhino's in it! Yeah, baby! ...Also, Sora, why are you complaining about the cold in the Frozen world, by the way? You went to Christmas town in Halloween Town and went to the mountains in the Land of Dragons, for crying out loud!)

...But let me just take a moment to discuss about Super Smash Bros Ultimate, specifically this one thing that I'd like to mention... and that is...

I have a freaking knack for unintentionally correctly predicting Smash related things in my stories, don't I? I mean... let's look at my track record!

In my KH crossover stories, I replaced Olympus Coliseum with Smash Bros but I didn't want to get rid of Cloud so I just left him in there and I thought "He's not gonna be in Smash anyway." ...Look who shows up as DLC in 4. (I even got a PM from someone screaming "HOW DID YOU CORRECTLY PREDICT CLOUD IN SMASH BROS?!")

In KH2, I had my OC complain about Duck Hunt and say "I'd rather have Bayonetta in Smash than Duck Hunt." ...Look who won the ballot.

In Super RWBY Sisters, I had the Ice Climbers feel solemn about not being in 4 and had Lucario comfort them saying they'll be back when they have a chance. Look who makes their grand return!

In RWBY: Uprising I had Wolf make a cameo along with Fox and Falco defending the Smash Mansion from Hades' Underworld Minions... aaaand who shows up in Ultimate? Wolf.

In RWBY 64, I invented the Smash Bros B Roster where people replace the Smashers if they're away or something came up (Example: Ghirahim for Ganondorf, DAISY for Peach, etc.) and Daisy just so happened to be in there. LOOK WHO FREAKING SHOWS UP! I've wanted her since Brawl but I was hoping she'd be in her Strikers outfit and not an Echo Fighter for Peach, but i'll take it! My girl's in there! :D

I make ONE Chibi skit for Snake to make a tribute for the man who didn't come back since Brawl. ONE. CHIBI. SKIT. And look who makes his grand ol' return with "EVERYONE IS HERE!"

...Sakurai, are you reading my stories? Cause this is just insane...

Also, expect a special Smash Bros Ultimate chibi soon, cause i'm gonna have fun with this one! Along with some bold predictions... hehehehe.
