Taiyang sighed in annoyance. "Ruby, you could've told me you were dating someone…" He said, his arms folded as they were decided to go to the hotel in Sirena Beach so they wouldn't make a scene in front of everyone in public. Everyone was in said room, and luckily the room itself was huge even though everyone had their own room.

Ruby rubbed the back of her head sheepishly. "Well, I uh… well… I was going to but we were so caught up fighting Hades that I forgot to even tell you… not to mention we were back to fighting Bowser again and-"

"Ah! Don't want to hear it." Taiyang sighed in frustration once more before his frustrated look softened a bit, in fact, he looked a bit hurt. "I was actually hoping you'd be a bit older before you started dating."

"Dad…" Ruby whispered.

"Tai, you can't control the runt's lives forever, you know." Qrow said, casually leaning on a wall and drinking out of his flask. "If they want to date, they want to date. It's part of life. After all, you let Ruby into Beacon after all. It was just a matter of time before she found someone."

"I know that!" Taiyang said. "I was hoping it wouldn't happen though!"

"Is it me, or does Ruby and Yang's father sound like Church?" Sarge asked.

"Oh my god, THANK YOU! I thought I was going crazy!" Tucker exclaimed.

"You hear it too!" Grif sighed with relief.

"…I don't hear it." Church said.

"Get your ears checked." Tucker said.

"I want apple pie!" Caboose said randomly.

"Mmm… pie…" Effie licked her lips.

What does THAT have to do with anything? Hana wondered.

Taiyang sighed. "Honestly…" He looked at Ruby and Pit before shaking his head. "You two look perfect for each other… and honestly, I can tell Pit's a good kid." He said. "…Despite my better judgement right now, I… will approve of your relationship."

Ruby and Pit smiled. "Thanks, dad." Ruby said. "And, sorry about not telling you."

"It's okay, just try to tell me next time." Taiyang chuckled. "…And, forgive me for prying, but there's this one feeling that I can't shake off."

"What is it?" Pit asked.

"Pit… I'm going to ask this once. Have you ever… touched my daughter?"

Pit started to sweat a bit. "You mean like… kissed her?" He asked, hoping he was asking that.

"I meant touched her inappropriately."

The whole room fell silent… and to a certain few, they all looked nervous.

"Uh…" Pit was sweating bullets at this point. "Well…"

BGM: Tension in the Air (Final Fantasy XIII)

Before anyone could answer, Tai's eyes narrowed. "Well, did you?" He asked and nobody answered and looked even more nervous… and then a furious aura surrounded the man. "Judging by this awkward silence… YOU DID!" He yelled, rolling up his sleeves and getting ready to pound Pit into oblivion.

"Whoa whoa whoa!" Pit exclaimed, backing up slowly. "Just for the record, it was on accident!"

"I don't want to hear it!" He exclaimed, ready to pound the angel into the ground, but then at that moment, Ruby used her semblance to get in between them. "Ruby, get out of the way!"

"Dad, it was an accident!"

"Accident or not, I'm still going to kill him!"

Then it was Yang's turn. "Dad, calm down! It was just an accident! …Besides, I already killed him once."

"Well, you didn't do a very good job! He's obviously still alive!"

"Can I just point out that I revive when I die?" Pit pointed out.

"Oh good, so I can kill you over and over again!" He exclaimed.

"Tai, stand down!" Qrow exclaimed. "There's an obviously good reason why he accidentally touched my niece inappropriately… right?" He asked.

"Yes, of course! Just let me explain." Pit said.

"…Alright. Shoot." Taiyang folded his arms.

"Okay, so in Skyworld, we have this humongous hot spring where we usually go to unwind and relax before going into a big fight. I thought I could use some relaxation and I jumped on in, without even seeing Ruby's towel or clothes nearby." He explained, seeing some smoke coming out of Tai's nose when he mentioned Ruby's outfit, causing him to pale a little. "I was busy swimming around that I… uh… well, I want to say it but there's a kid here so let's just call them unmentionables."

"Unmention… what?" Percy asked.

"We'll tell you when you're older." Effie said.

"Okay!"

"Let me guess, unmentionables we her-OW!" Tucker said before being punched in the gut by Yang.

"Pervert." Yang muttered.

"Bow chicka bow ow." Tucker groaned.

"I also had water in my eyes so I couldn't see what I was holding so when I got out of the water, I realized what I was holding and we both screamed. If it makes you feel any better, Yang already killed me and turned me into an actual knot."

"I'm still proud about that." Yang smirked.

"Dad, it was an accident…" Ruby told him.

"See? Problem solved, he didn't realize Ruby was in there and the water was in his eyes so he wasn't seeing clearly." Qrow said.

"…I'm gonna need a minute!" Tai stormed out of the room.

"Dad, wait a minute!" Ruby ran after him while Pit stood there, his knees looked like they were about to give out at any second.

End BGM

"Now you know where I get my overprotectiveness from." Yang said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry about him being mad at you though, he'll come around."

"I hope so…"


With Ruby and Tai…

Taiyang was sighing deeply at the edge of the beach while Ruby was walking to him. "Dad, I…"

"You don't have to apologize, Ruby." Taiyang said. "I'm not mad at you… I'm actually mad at Pit for touching you like that."

"Dad… he apologized!"

"I know he did…" He turned around. "But what if he does something else to you?"

"Dad!" Ruby blushed hard. "He won't!" She said as Tai stared at her. "…I promise that he won't and if you think we're going to do… that in bed, we're not-"

"Stop, it's okay…" Tai sighed. "Look, the truth is… I'm afraid of losing you."

BGM: Missing You (Kingdom Hearts II)

"When you're a single father and raising two kids, letting them go to this school far away from home can be hard and… well it gets rather lonely. So when I heard you were dating Pit, I was so scared I… I didn't know what to do and got so… angry after what happened. I shouldn't have lashed out in front of everyone."

"You were just trying to protect me."

"I know… and honestly, I think he's a good kid. Do I know it was an accident? Yes… but I just can't let go of my overprotectiveness like this. You and Yang are my kids and I'd do anything for you. I'm actually afraid of losing you both and it's hard watching you kids grow up because once you're gone and married, I'm just gonna be by myself…"

He turned to Ruby with a sad smile, a tear running down his cheek. "If he makes you happy, then I'm happy for the both of you."

"Hmm… maybe you both can be good friends despite… what happened earlier a few minutes ago." Ruby said.

"…Considering what I just learned, I'm not sure if I can trust him though…" He sighed. "If only your mother were here, she'd know what to do."

"I have a feeling she's closer than we think." Ruby said.

"Maybe… but I'm going to keep an eye on him just to make sure he-"

"Dad…"

"Sorry, sorry… force of habit." He said. "There's just… one thing I'd like to ask you."

"Dad, you know me, I forgive easily."

Tai chuckled and ruffled up her hair. "Why do I always worry about you not forgiving me?" He said. "Come on, let's go back inside."

"Yeah."

The next day, at Bianco Hills…

"I don't know what you just did, but you apparently made that thing angry!" Lillie exclaimed, as Petey Piranha was alive and well and was making a mess in the village.

"All I said was that it was just an overgrown ugly plant! Yeesh!" Guzma exclaimed.

"Ugh… this is annoying." Umber said as he walked over. "Hey ugly!" He said as Petey looked down at him. "I'm going to take you down in a fight!"

Petey landed down in front of him and took a closer look at him before laughing, pointing at him too and laughing. "Oh, it's not me you have to worry about." He smirked and pulled out a Pokeball. "Judging by the way you are, I'm sure you can get along easily!" He said and tossed the Pokeball up in the air and out came an Alolan Marowak.

BGM: Battle! Wild Pokemon (Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon)

"Maro!"

Petey took one look at the Marowak and started pointing and laughing again, falling on his back and couldn't control his laughter. "We'll see who has the last laugh. Will-O-Wisp!" He ordered as the Marowak hit the laughing target as Petey felt a burning sensation that caused him to yelp and look around in surprise. "That was us, genius!" He smirked. "Shadow Bone!"

Petey was hit by the Shadow Bone and growled as he flew up in the air and spat out a gigantic ball of goop that covered the two.

"Maro…"

"Ugh!" Umber groaned as he pulled out another Pokeball. "Empoleon, use Whirlpool to clean this mess up!" He ordered as Empoleon came out and proceeded to use Whirlpool to clean themselves up and then he unleashed it on Petey for good measure, with a ton of water going into his mouth and he fell to the ground where Marowak jumped up in the air and smacked the belly button hard enough to cause him to spit out the water. When the plant tried to get up, Empoleon used Brine to fill him up with water again.

Needless to say, this went on for a few more times until Petey coughed up another Shine Sprite as he quickly flew off again to get away from them. "Agh, I was going to catch it." Umber mumbled as he took the Shine Sprite. "This'll do though."

End BGM

"Well, that's another out of the way, let's get going." Guzma said as they walked into a portal, unaware that the lake nearby was covered in goop and Luigi went on over to investigate on why the gate was opened… and well…


With Luigi…

"Mama mia, this is intense!" Luigi exclaimed as he was on a cube that was trying to knock him off by spinning, and to make matters worse, there were red coins to collect. "Should've let Mario take care of this!" He complained as he got to the top and then found out there were more spinning platforms and a few coins dangerously above them.

"…Okay, no." Luigi said as he called out Pueo and Affection who happily gathered the rest of the red coins while Luigi jumped across the spinning platforms and got to the last part where two Shine Sprites awaited them.

"So, you didn't want to collect the Red coins by yourself?" Hoopa teased.

"You kidding? If I grabbed a coin, I'd probably mistimed my jump." He explained.

"That's fair. Though, they do seem to go by slowly… but whatever." Hoopa chuckled as he got the two Shine Sprites and Hoopa opened up a ring portal as Luigi walked back into the Plaza with Affection and Pueo right behind him.


With Team MAJC…

"I hear a shiny… but I do not know where it is coming from!" Mona complained in frustration.

"I know where the Shine Sprite is at." A voice said as they looked to see a Pianta casually sitting on a rooftop.

"YOU DO?! WHERE?!" Mona yelled, but was pulled back by her own team so she wouldn't harm the guy.

"I will tell you if you pay me one coin."

"I will not part with my shiny coins!"

Anthony sighed. "Alright… here you go." He said, handing him a coin. "Now where is this Shine Sprite?"

"Thank you, now uh… there's something you should know."

"And what is it?"

The Pianta grinned. "I'M A CHUCKSTER!" He yelled.

"What are you-" The Pianta grabbed him and immediately threw him toward a window. "DOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIIIIING!"

CRASH!

"The Shine Sprite is in there!" He chuckled and turned to the others, completely unaware that he pissed them off. "So, who's next?" He asked.

"Mona. Do it." Camrin said… and then Mona shoved the Pianta off the building.

"AIYEEEEEEE!"

SPLASH!

"Anthony! Are you okay in there?" Jen asked with concern.

"Ow… yeah… I'm fine, but I have a Shine Sprite now!" He said as he broke another window and got out. "We should go now." He said as they walked off while the Pianta surfaced.

"Hack! Plepth! …No one appreciates good humor anymore…" He muttered.


In Ricco Harbor…

"Huh… wonder what's in there?" Sun wondered, looking directly at the tower as he got on top of the ship and then used his semblance as his clones went and made themselves a bridge for Sun to go across and then they disappeared to where he did a few acrobatics and went into the tower.

BGM: Secret Course (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Huh… this is new." Sun said as he saw the rotating block platforms. He quickly ran while doing a few jumps so he wouldn't fall to his doom and then with a few acrobatic jumps, he safely landed in the middle where he noticed a button in the middle of the area, and with he pressed it, red coins appeared. "So this just makes red coins show up? …Okay then." He said as he used his semblance to have his clones grab the two coins above him as Sun ran over and with his acrobatic skills, he and the clones managed to grab all the coins while managing to keep themselves balanced on the platforms, and then he landed on the ground where two Shine Sprites waited for him, then the clones disappeared.

"HA! This is how you do it!" He grinned as he took the two Shine Sprites as a portal opened up. "I wonder how Neptune's doing." He wondered.

End BGM


With Elise and her retainers…

"Wait, you scattered red coins everywhere?" Elise asked.

"Yup!" The Pianta nodded. "They're everywhere in this very harbor and if you collect eight of them, you get the Shine Sprite that forms when you collect all the coins! …Don't ask how it works, we just roll with it in this world."

"I'm sitting this one out… for my health." Arthur said as he sat down… and as he sat down, he fell right into the water. "ACK!"

"…Strange, that was sturdy earlier…" The Pianta mused as Effie pulled him up.

"Wish me luck!" Elise said as she got on a Blooper and started surfing around, seeing any red coins she could find and weaved around the course with ease as she looked around for that last red coin after collecting the others and noticed it was between some pillars. "So… shall we take it slowly or go really fast?" She asked.

"Bloop Bloop…"

"Good idea!" Elise said as they went slowly and collected the last red coin and then they picked up speed where the Shine Sprite appeared in the middle of the harbor as she jumped up and collected the Shine Sprite… and landed back on the Blooper. "WAHOO! I DID IT!" She yelled as she turned around and jumped off on the dock.

"You, my friend, are the best Blooper surfer I've ever seen!" The Pianta praised and picked her up. "ALL HAIL THE QUEEN OF BLOOPER SURFING!"

"Uh… can you put me down?"

"Sorry."

Elise landed back on the dock. "You should be lucky my sister didn't see that or she'd be having a fit over that!" She scolded.

"So… she's a small brat?"

"More like an independent woman who uses an axe if you make her mad."

"Oh." It then dawned on him when she mentioned an axe. "…WAIT, WHAT?!"

"Have fun sleeping tonight!" Elise giggled as a portal opened and then they walked in, leaving the Pianta standing there.

"…Note to self: Stay far away from that family."


Just outside of Ricco Harbor…

Sarge hummed to himself and then looked down into the water. "Ah, this is the perfect spot!" He then turned to Neptune who was with him. "Alright, jump in."

"WHAT?! Nuh-uh! I'm not getting in the water!"

"Son, my father always told me that you must always conquer your fears! …Though, I always shot those fears in the face with my beautiful shotgun." He said. "Now, get in the water!"

"N-no!"

"Don't make me push you in…"

"You wouldn't."

"I pushed Grif into a snake pit one time and he turned out fine."


Some time ago…

"OH GOD, IT'S SLITHERING INTO MY ARMOR!"

"You gotta get rid of your fears of snakes somehow, Grif!"

"GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF!"

"Next, we'll get rid of your pesky fear of bats!"

"SARGE, I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR THIS! AAAAAAAAAGH, GET AWAY FROM MY HELMET!"

"You did good, Sarge… heheheh… you did good."

"I THINK IT JUST BIT ME!"

"Ah, just walk it off."


Back with them…

"He's got a big juicy battle scar from it that day! …He doesn't like talking about it though, nearly shot me in the foot when I mentioned it." Sarge said. "That numbnut needs to stop being so sensitive about that."

Neptune sweatdropped. "I… uh… I got nothing."

"Alright, get in the water and we'll teach ya how to…" He saw Nora happily skipping off out of the boat house. "…Swim… what's got her in a good mood?" He wondered and walked to the boat house with Neptune following him.

As they got into the boathouse, they were greeted by two Racoons, one of them was a little kid. "Hello! What can we do for ya?" The big one asked.

"We were just looking and wondering why our friend was happily skipping out of this place." Neptune said.

"Yeah, and why do you have a Shine Sprite behind you?" Sarge asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry about it!" He said. "I sent your little friend on a scavenger hunt and if she comes back with ten blue coins, she wins a prize."

"What kind of prize?"

"It's a secret!" He said and then right on cue, Nora came in with ten coins.

"I got ten of them!"

"Good girl!" He said as he dug something from behind the counter. "Here's your prize, a Shine Sprite!"

"Oooooh!" Nora grinned… and right on cue, a Metal Gear Solid "!" appeared above Sarge's head.

"Now wait just a minute!" Sarge exclaimed. "You want ten coins and in return, you give them a Shine Sprite?"

"That is correct."

Now Neptune got suspicious. "How many are under that counter?"

"I'm not telling."

"Oh yeah?" Neptune pulled out a badge. "See this badge? This right here proves that I'm a junior detective and you will tell us how many are underneath that counter!"

"…Dad, should we tell him?"

"No, why should we tell an amateur?" He asked. "Besides, that badge is obviously fake."

"He may be fake… but I'm not!" Sarge pulled out his shotgun. "Now tell me, how many Shine Sprites are you harboring? Tell me right now and nobody gets shot tonight!" He said and cocked the shotgun. "Answer quickly, my little friend here gets veeeeery impatient."

"Whoa whoa whoa, hold up now! There's no need for violence." The raccoon said.

"So tell us!"

"I will not."

"…Neptune, go get the cops." Sarge said.

"Right!" Neptune nodded and then took off.

"Either you tell us where you are hoarding those Shine Sprites or we'll use force if we have to." Sarge threatened.

"Oh yeah? I run a business, you can't hurt me!"

"We have a Nora!" Sarge said with Nora smirking, readying her hammer.

"That doesn't make sense!"

"It does if you've watched the Avengers!" Sarge said. "Now tell us where you are hiding them or so help me, I'm gonna be renaming my shotgun Captain America!" He said and cocked his shotgun.

"I don't know what Avengers of Captain America are, but like I said, we're not harboring any Shine Sprites."

Nora leaned onto the counter aggressively. "Either you tell us right now or I'm gonna be breaking things!"

"You wouldn't!"

"Oh, I will!"

It was then that the cops came in, along with Neptune, Phoenix and Maya. "What seems to be the commotion?" One of them asked.

"These people are threatening to riot in here!" The raccoon exclaimed. "They're accusing us of harboring Shine Sprites!"

"Yeah, 'cause you gave one to me!"

"Hmm… we need to do a search just to make sure they're not lying." Phoenix said.

"And who are you?"

"Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney."

"HA! You call yourself an attorney if you're wearing a swimsuit and a painted on tie? Forget it, I'm not telling you anything, you wannabe detective. Why don't you go back smooching your girlfriend?"

"WANNABE DETECTIVE/GIRLFRIEND?!" Phoenix and Maya yelled.

"…That does it!" Sarge exclaimed. "Nora!"

"Right!" Nora nodded and raised her hammer up in the air and slammed it into the counter, revealing twenty-three Shine Sprites.

"…Meep…" The raccoon paled.

"So you were harboring twenty-four Shine Sprites?!" The cop exclaimed and grabbed the both of them, and handcuffed them. "You have the right to remain silent!"

"YOU FOOLS! WE WERE JUST RUNNING A BUSINESS!"

"Yeah, a shady business!" Neptune said when suddenly all the Shine Sprites in the room, plus Nora's, flew up and quickly went over to the Shine Gate.

"Heh, mission accomplished." Sarge chuckled.


Meanwhile, in Gelato Beach…

BGM: Gelato Beach (Super Mario Sunshine)

"Whoa, this place is amazing!" Coco exclaimed as her team, Pyrrha, Jaune, Ren, and Mario were in the area.

"I know!" Velvet grinned.

"What are those things?" Fox wondered, looking at some round creatures with duck-like beaks walking around.

"Those creatures are called Cataquacks. They love to flip local residents and tourists in the air, but thankfully, they are harmless and do not hurt you. They just want to have fun. The red Cataquacks actually do harm you." FLUDD said.

"Stay away from the red ones, got it." Velvet nodded as they went off to explore while Mario noticed some kind of plant sprouting from the ground.

"What's this?" Mario wondered.

"That's a Dune Bud!" A Noki walked up to him. "When you spray it with water, it bloats up and… well, something interesting might happen!" He said and then walked off.

"Hmm…" Mario mused and then sprayed the Dune Bud, as it bloated up and then… some kind of sand pyramid shot up straight into the air. "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" He cried before he landed into the sand. "Mmph!" He groaned as he popped out.

"I think I got some sand in my nozzle…" FLUDD said as Mario walked around the place and found one just hanging in the middle of a beach and when they sprayed it, both of them braced themselves… until a Sand Castle popped up at the other end of the beach.

"Oh?" Mario wondered as he walked over to the sand castle out of curiosity and once he walked closer, he saw a portal opening up. "Interesting…" He said and then hopped into it, and as he did, he was in the same place as before… right when Shadow Mario went to grab FLUDD.

Pause BGM

This time, however, Mario was prepared for it, as he grabbed a hold of FLUDD and kicked Shadow Mario away, knocking him out of the portal while Mario strapped FLUDD onto his back. "Thank you, Mario."

"No problem." He said as Mario landed on a platform.

BGM: Secret Course

"You should exercise caution on these sand platforms. They start to disappear as soon as you step on them. They will however come back after a short time."

"Good to know." Mario smirked as he ran forward, and just as FLUDD said, the sand platforms started to sink but Mario was quick on his feet as he noticed red coins in the area, so he proceeded to collect them and as he got to the last area, he did his fancy platforming to collect the other red coins in the area until he had a Shine Sprite in his hand as he went up with a few jumps and FLUDD's Hover Nozzle to get the other Shine Sprite. "Got it!" He exclaimed.

End BGM


With the others…

"There's something shiny right here…" Pyrrha said.

"How can you tell?" Jaune asked.

"Because there's something glowing coming out of the sand." She replied.

"Oh."

"I can see it too." Ren said as they proceeded to dig it out, where a Shine Sprite emerged from it.

"Oh my goodness! Who would do such a thing?" Pyrrha wondered as she dusted it off as the Shine Sprite glowed brightly and took off back to the Shine Gate, then she couldn't help but smile as the three of them got back up and walked off.

"This is horrible!" A Pianta exclaimed. "Those things are walking all over those mirrors and that humongous Wiggler is taking a nap on top of the Shine Tower! Agh, at this rate, the Legendary Sand Bird will never hatch!"

Team CFVY and JPR heard this and they immediately sprang into action, ready to take care of the Plungelos on the mirrors.

BGM: Vs. Plungelo (Super Mario Sunshine)

JPR took on the first Plungelo as it walked toward them as Jaune ran toward it and slashed it repeatedly, causing it to yelp in agony with Ren kicking it near the edge and then Pyrrha jumped into the air and punched the other side of the mirror hard enough to send the Plungelo flying… and Jaune. "AAAAAAAH!" He yelled.

"Jaune!" Pyrrha exclaimed as she jumped down along with Ren as he landed in the water, then Pyrrha picked him up. "Are you okay?"

"Just a little shaken up… ow…" Jaune winced.

For the second mirror, Coco and Velvet were busy taking care of two Plungelos where Velvet did a few kicks and Coco whacked them repeatedly with her bag before smacking the mirror with her back to send the two Plungelos flying, and then they noticed three were flying as well as they turned to see Yatsuhashi and Fox had hit the edge of the third mirror, regardless of where the Plungelos were.

End BGM

All three mirrors were back at their original directions and shined brightly on the Shine Gate, where it was bright enough to send the Wiggler crashing down to the ground and a Shine Sprite appeared before the gang… and at this moment, Mario walked out of the sand castle with the two Shine Sprites he collected.

"So, what'd I miss?" Mario asked.

"Nothing too major." Jaune said… and then they heard the sound of a train whistle and felt a rumbling on the ground.

"RUUUUN! IT'S PISSED OFF!" A Pianta yelled as they ran to the juice bar along with the Cataquacks… and then the same Wiggler charged straight out of the palm trees.

BGM: Vs Boss (Super Mario Sunshine)

"…Nothing too major, huh?" Coco asked.

Jaune sighed. "Never mind."

The Wiggler started angrily rampaging through Gelato Beach, not even caring about the others. "So, what do we do?" Yatsuhashi asked.

"We knock it down!" Coco said as they went straight for the angry caterpillar and attacked it, but their strong attacks didn't even phase it one bit, much to their surprise. "That didn't work?!"

Mario had an idea and then ran over to one of the Dune Buds and then when the Wiggler came close, Mario sprayed the Dune Bud and when it was about to shoot up in the air, Mario did a backflip and when out came a giant sand dune, the Wiggler tripped on it and fell, sliding upside down on its back and was unconscious where Velvet did a triple front flip and got on top of it, she saw one of the segments throbbing so she did an axe kick similar to Bayonetta right on top of it.

"OOOOOOOOOOW!" The Wiggler cried Velvet side jumped off of it and when Wiggler got back up, there was some sort of noise sounding like a trumpet and the Wiggler was angrier and rampaged just a bit faster.

"I got it!" Jaune exclaimed, grabbing a bucket. "Every one grab a bucket! We're going to send this Wiggler flying!" He said as the others besides Mario grabbed a bucket and filled them with ocean water as they tried to splash the Dune Buds, but the Wiggler was too fast for them because he went past them, but then Jaune splashed one Dune Bud and a small sand turtle popped up. "…Oh come on! How is THIS going to work?!" He yelled, and then the Wiggler hit the corner and tripped over it. "Oh… uh… never mind!" He grinned as Fox, Coco and Pyrrha climbed up and hit one of the throbbing segments, making the Wiggler yell in agony again.

But as the Wiggler got up again, it turned red and was absolutely furious… and to make things more terrifying, it ran up the side of the hill for no apparent reason, but it terrified the heck out of Jaune. "DID IT JUST…?!" He yelled.

"It did!" Velvet exclaimed as the Wiggler came back down and started charging at them wildly, as they tried to go to the ocean but the Wiggler was too fast for them and kicked up dust to blind them and then as they had dust in their eyes, the Wiggler started charging straight for the gang, ready to run them over.

"HIYAAAAAAAAH!" A voice screamed as the Wiggler was suddenly turned upside down and due to the speed he was going, he stopped right into the ocean, and when the dust settled, Nora was right in front of them.

"Nora!" Ren exclaimed.

"Alright, you overgrown caterpillar! EAT THIS!" She yelled, jumping high into the air and then hitting the throbbing spot on one of the segments, causing the Wiggler to scream one final time… before turning into sand and disappearing forever, leaving a floating Shine Sprite in the water.

End BGM

"Thanks, Nora." Coco said.

"Don't mention it." Nora grinned as she pulled the Shine Sprite out of the water as a portal opened up. "Now, let's go!"


Meanwhile, with Peach, Daisy and Toadsworth…

"I'm telling ya, the Shine Gate looked a lot better on the brochure…" Daisy said.

"Yeah, it's a shame." Peach nodded.

"I'm sure someone will go up there and give it a good scrub." Toadsworth said. "Now that I mention it, the bell towers need a good scrubbing too."

"Yeah." She agreed. "But on the plus side, with all of us collecting Shine Sprites, we'll be able to enjoy our vacation."

"You know it!" Daisy grinned, and then suddenly a smoke bomb rolled over to the trio and ignited. "Ack! What's going on?!"

"Blimey! I can't see anything!" Toadsworth complained, and suddenly somebody karate chopped the back of Peach's neck and then took off out of the shadows, revealing to be Shadow Mario as he took off right as the smoke cleared.

BGM: Shadow Mario (Super Mario Sunshine)

"What the… HEY!" Daisy yelled as she ran after him where she saw Shadow Mario jumping in some kind of Koopa Speedboat.

"Nnngh… wha…?" Peach came around and saw what was going on. "WHAT THE?!"

"Stay there." Shadow Mario ordered and looked at Daisy who simply stuck out his… absurdly long tongue as he jumped back in the boat and sped off, splashing water all over Daisy and took off to an island.

"Gah!" Daisy shook it off. "Dammit!" She growled and saw a cannon. "Coming through!" She said and then jumped right on in and blasted off. "WAHOOOOOOOOOOO!" She yelled, and about a few seconds later, Toadsworth guided the Toad Brigade, Mario Bros, RWBY, JNPR, and JINX toward the cannon.

"He took off that way!" Toadsworth said.

"That is Pinna Island! The perpetrator must be going that way!" FLUDD said.

"And we're going after them!" Mario said and one by one, they all went in, while Xena was covering her ears the whole time before shaking it off.

"Okay… calm down… it's just one cannon." She said as she got in and was the last to be blasted off to Pinna Park.


With Daisy…

Daisy landed on her feet the minute she entered Pinna Park. "…Wow, that was awesome!" She said and then noticed everyone else landing.

"Don't worry, princess! We're coming to save you!" Captain Toad declared as they ran through the steps and went into the park where Shadow Mario took off while they dodged the Electro Koopas until they got to the pool.

Shadow Mario jumped over to the pool and stared at all of them, all of them glaring at him. "Where's Peach! Tell us!" Mario ordered.

"We're not afraid of you! We're not running away from you!" Captain Toad declared.

"Oh… really?" Shadow Mario smirked as suddenly, the pool started to splash around before starting to split open… and then a robotic version of Bowser rose from the ground and roared loudly before breathing fire and then took one step out of the pool.

"...Uh… eheheh… we're gonna run from that!" Captain Toad paled and then they screamed and started running around in circles while everyone else stood their ground.

"Oh! What a spectacular show!" An elderly Noki praised. "Is this one yours?"

"Hey, has anyone seen Luigi?" Weiss asked as she turned to see Luigi cowering near the rotating ships. "LUIGI!"

"This isn't happening! This isn't happening! THIS ISN'T HAPPENING!" Luigi yelled.

"Oh, forget it!" Weiss said as they stood their ground and tried to attack it but Mecha Bowser did a kick that they dodged… but Mario was up in the air to try and hammer it, but was kicked back from the attack and sent flying to a wall.

"Mario?!" Luigi asked in shock and then a Pokeball opened up and Hoopa appeared.

"You gotta save 'em!" Hoopa said.

"B-But how? That thing is huge!"

Hoopa smirked and then opened up a ring and then pulled out a ? block from the Mushroom Fields. "Don't worry about how big it is!" He grinned as Luigi hit the ? block and out came a Mega Mushroom. "Come on, you can do it!"

Luigi looked at the Mega Mushroom and saw everyone dodging the stomps and the Bullet Bills being shot down at them and he took a deep breath… and ate the Mega Mushroom.

Mecha Bowser lowered its head and was ready to fry them… when suddenly a hammer hit Mecha Bowser hard enough to send him into the ocean, but he landed back on his feet, where inside, Shadow Mario saw something huge.

"So… this is how it's going to be?" Shadow Mario asked. "Engaging Attack mode!" He said as Mecha Bowser proceeded to get into a fighting position… and Peach was given the "Put on your seatbelt" to which she did.


In Delfino…

"This is a D.E.B.S. Alert! There are two giants fighting in Pinna Park! Do not go to Pinna Park, I repeat, do NOT go to Pinna Park!"

"What the hell!" Washington exclaimed. "Ugh… this is getting crazy!"

"What are we missing over there?! That sounds like fun!" Elise said.

"I'd… rather not get crushed." Sakura admitted.


Back with the others…

"Luigi?!" Daisy exclaimed in shock as Mario came back to them and saw his gigantic bro.

"Mama mia… why do I suddenly have this feeling we're gonna be doing this again in the future?" He wondered as he jumped up on Luigi's body until he got on his head with Hoopa appearing next to Mario.

Luigi readied his hammer and with one deep breath, he was no longer afraid… he was brave.

Mecha Bowser proceeded to breathe fire up at Luigi's direction, but he jumped up in the air and proceeded to jump down right on top of Mecha Bowser's head to deal damage and then jumped off to which Mecha Bowser ran to him and punched him, but Luigi jumped to the side and hammered him up in the air and then jumped up and hammered him down to the ocean.

When Mecha Bowser got back up, he roared and fired several Bullet Bills from his chest but Luigi hammered them away, to which Mecha Bowser aimed his hand at Luigi and the hand raised up to which the arm looked like Samus' arm canon and fired out a few Banzai Bills.

Luigi's eyes widened, but proceeded to hammer the Banzai Bills up in the air where they were knocked back to Mecha Bowser to deal a lot of damage, then he jumped up in the air but Mecha Bowser jumped back to avoid it and he ran and proceeded to slam into Luigi and then kicked him back.

Luigi shook it off and then felt a tap on his cheek to which he turned to Hoopa. "This'll heat things up!" He said, tossing him a Fire Flower and then Luigi absorbed it and then threw fireballs at Mecha Bowser, taking some damage before breathing fire at him, to which Luigi sent out a stream of fire on his own, but unlike how Mario does it, his was a bit weaker and cooked poor Luigi before he ran over and elbowed him in the gut before using an uppercut to knock him back.

"Whoops… sorry." Hoopa said.

"It's alright." Luigi said, wincing from the pain.

"Hey bro!" Mario said as he jumped to the palm of his hand and then held out a few Mushrooms. "Open wide!" He requested and Luigi did so, eating a few Mushrooms to regain his health as Mario jumped up to his hat again with a thumbs up.

Mecha Bowser fired more Bullet Bills but Luigi quickly got rid of them as he ran over and tried to punch the plumber, but he jumped back and swung his hammer down, destroying his arm as he looked at it in surprise, and then Luigi took his other arm and destroyed it as well, much to its shock and then Luigi did a front flip and grabbed it by the tail, spinning it around before letting it go up in the air to which he jumped high into the air and swung his hammer down, sending Mecha Bowser straight back to the pool and mechanical parts were sent flying everywhere, where the head was resting outside of the pool and in front of everyone.

"Wahoo!" Luigi cheered… before shrinking back down to normal and landing near everyone.

"…You gotta teach me those moves!" Ruby exclaimed, her eyes sparkling.

"I'll say!" Yang grinned.

"Wow…" Daisy said, swooning over Luigi as hearts popped up over her head.

"I didn't think he had it in him!" Captain Toad exclaimed in surprise.

"…I have a new respect for you…" Iris said to which JNX nodded in agreement while Mario and JNPR high fived Luigi… though Nora high fived him a little hard, since Luigi's hand was now throbbing.

It was at this moment the top part of Mecha Bowser's head opened up, to which both of them were dazed but alright. "Hey guys!" Peach waved, but Shadow Mario put his brush out to stop Peach from going anywhere, and then he jumped up in the air with a few frontflips before turning into… a Koopa?

"Eh? What's going on?" Captain Toad asked, and then he took off his scarf, revealing to be Bowser Junior.

"Leave my mama alone, you bad people! I won't let you take Mama Peach away!"

"MAMA?!" Everyone, including Peach yelled in shock.

"I'm… your… mama…?" Peach blinked before immediately called BS in her head and then started to pull something from her purse.

"Yeah, Papa told me all about it. He told me that Mama got kidnapped by some bad people named the Mario Bros and Team RWBY!"

"So you're Bowser's son?" Pyrrha asked.

"So I came here to rescue her!" Junior said, ignoring Pyrrha's question.

"Wait wait wait… so this graffiti was none other than you?" Daisy asked.

Junior smirked. "Well, I had some help but enough about that!" He proudly raised his magic paintbrush. "THIS is my magic brush! When I draw with this, all my wishes come true. A strange old man in a white coat gave it to me, by the way!"

"A strange old man… in a white coat…?" FLUDD wondered.

"That sounds like…" Jade's eyes widened before looking annoyed. "Oh, I'm going to give my grandfather a good talking to about this…"

"Yeesh…" Xena sweatdropped.

"So why would you pretend to be Mario?" Blake asked.

"Isn't it obvious! My papa said "Mario's a bully, he never fights fair! He even brings his brother and his teenage friends!" He said "Junior, you're gonna have to try to outsmart them!"

Junior then looked annoyed. "So I tried to get them sent to prison… but they didn't lock them up and now they came to steal Mama Peach again!" He glared at them all. "You… you pests… stop following us!" He ordered as he got back into the head and started to fly off.

"No! Guys! SAVE ME!" Peach yelled as the head took off.

"No! Not again!" FLUDD exclaimed in frustration. "…It appears they are headed for Corona Mountain!"

"Come on, we gotta go save her!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Right!" Mario nodded.

"Save who, exactly?" A familiar voice asked as they turned to see Peach with folded arms and a smug smirk.

"PEACH?!" Everyone yelled.

"But… how did you…?" Ruby asked.

"Inflatable blow up doll that looks exactly like me." Peach said. "Comes with some voice commands with the press of a button!"

"YES!" Daisy yelled. "I KNEW MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT WOULD COME IN HANDY ONE DAY!" She cheered.

Peach giggled. "Thank you for that." She said. "So! Let's enjoy the rest of our vacation, shall we?"

"I'm game!" Yang grinned, and then they heard something coming from the wreckage as they turned to see a Shine Sprite emerging from it and taking off back to the Shine Gate in the plaza.

"So that was powered by a Shine Sprite?" Weiss asked.

"That's… weird." Xena said as they went back to the plaza via a ring portal from Hoopa.


At Corona Mountain...

"DAMN THAT PRINCESS!" Bowser roared in frustration. "How did she get an inflatable blow up doll that's eerily similar to the real deal!"

"It does look spot on, I must admit." Roman said.

"I'm sorry I failed father… I didn't know she was doing that behind me." Junior said sadly.

"It's not your fault, son." Bowser said. "Grrr… that princess is more cunning than I thought she is."

"Maybe we oughta pay a visit to those bitches." A voice said as they saw three familiar looking girls.

"Well, you are the spitting image to those teenagers. I'd say go for it." Bowser said, and when they left he turned to Kamek. "I'm surprised you actually found them."

"Well, they were pillaging a village near our kingdom." Kamek said. "It wasn't too hard to track them down. The amazing part was that they were willing to help us."

"…I have a feeling they serve someone else… I don't know why." General Guy muttered.

"I will send my minions to help them in any way they can." A voice said as they turned to Octavio to which he turned to Inkling Boy and Inkling Girl. "Go."

"…As you wish…" Inkling Boy scowled and the two walked off, but not before glaring at him and taking off.

"I'm surprised a talking octopus was willing to ally with us. Where do you find these people?" Roman wondered.

"I get around." Bowser chuckled. "But yeah, we've allied with Octavio!" He said, unaware of Octavio chuckling darkly.

"Oh no, Bowser… I'm afraid you've got that way wrong." Octavio quietly said while smirking devilishly


You all know I have a knack for epic boss fights. Soooo... a simple fight with Mecha Bowser on a rollercoaster? Booooriiiiing. A Giant Luigi fight with Mecha Bowser? Oh yeah baby!

Also... I'm gonna get killed for this, but I don't give a crap. This has to be said.

Some certain people, I'm not naming who, want me to write an Undertale fic or put Undertale characters in my stories. I will not do that.

For you see, Undertale is overrated and... well, it wouldn't make sense to put Undertale in my stories anyway.

Do I think the story is good? Absolutely. But I'm not giving it a 10/10. I give it a 7/10. (It WAS 8/10, then I saw that Genocide route...)

Do I think the characters are a riot? Absolutely! The music is absolutely catchy!

The scenery is absolutely gorgeous too!

But... with all that said, I'm still not going to write any Undertale stories at all, or put them in my stories.

Think about it for a sec. Does Undertale fit in my RWBY/Mario series? Or in my Touhou/Mario series? Or my massive Kingdom Hearts crossover stories? The answer is no.

And if, for some bizarre reason, that Sans or Undyne make it into Smash, I will refuse to write it.

So therefore, I will not write anything related to Undertale at all.

Oh, and I've seen how your fandom... behaves. I'm not afraid of you.

You can pester me all you want, I will not change my mind. You cannot influence me or tell me what to write. Only I can do that to myself. I have the final say. You do not.

Therefore, Undertale will not be written. Ever.

Have a good day, y'all.
