To Guest/EJ17/Guest/Autumata hawk: Strangely, i'm way more open to those than I am with Undertale... probably will likely not ever happen, but i'd be willing to do it.
To boi: Whoa whoa WHOA. Did you just imply genocide is a good thing? Did I just read that right?
A Pianta casually walked around Gelato Beach, humming to himself when he saw something. "Hmm?" He wondered as he looked up to see a broken egg in the Shine Tower. "Oh, it looks like the Sand Bird hatched." He said as he walked off before stopping. "The Sand Bird hatched… THE SAND BIRD HATCHED! HEY EVERYONE! THE SAND BIRD HATCHED!" He yelled as he ran off to tell everyone at Gelato Beach the good news.
Back in the plaza, specifically with Arthur…
BGM: Delfino Plaza (Super Mario Sunshine)
"Step right up, step right up!" A Pianta exclaimed as he was on a boat underneath a building with a peculiar hole in it. "Test your might and wit with this newest contraption!"
"What's going on?" Arthur walked over.
"You, my friend! Are you willing to go into this hole?"
Arthur chuckled. "I'm always up for the challenge."
"Excellent! Now please, step right up!" He encouraged as Arthur stepped onto the boat and proceeded to climb into the hole… to find out that he's in some kind of Pachinko Machine.
"What is this contraption that I'm on?" Arthur wondered as he curiously looked around and then looked at the trampoline as he curiously jumped on it, and then was launched into the air. "WHOOOOA!" He yelled, collecting three red coins at the process but since he went up too fast, he went right into the hole and fell back where the Pianta was at.
"So how'd it go?" Pianta asked.
"What was that contraption I was on?"
"A Pachinko Machine and it seems you don't have the prize. Would you like to try again?"
Arthur chuckled. "I'd be more than happy to!" He said as he got in while Percy watched.
"Hmm…" He mused.

At Bianco Hills…
BGM: Bianco Hills (Super Mario Sunshine)
"There is one last Red Coin, Mario." FLUDD said.
"Where is it?" He asked as he was on a tight rope near the windmill.
"Over there." FLUDD said as Mario looked over to see one last Red Coin floating in the air.
"Aha!" He grinned as he switched over to the Hover Nozzle and proceeded to hover over to the one tight rope before he landed on it and proceeded to jump up to grab it with the help of FLUDD, and then, the Shine Sprite appeared in his hands.
"Another one has been caught." FLUDD said as they dove into the water where FLUDD recharged and then Mario got out of the water.
"Well, let's-a-" Mario was punched in the cheek. "OOOF!" He yelled and was knocked back.
"That was for stealing Mama Peach away."
Mario shook it off and saw Shadow Mario in front of him. "Junior…" He growled.
"You stole her from me again, and this time I'm going to beat you. I know all of your moves!"
"She got out on her own terms and you know it."
"LIAR!"
"There is no reasoning with him." FLUDD said. "…Then again, when are the Koopa Troop ever reasonable?"
Shadow Mario cracked his knuckles. "It would only be fair if we were in the same height and matching abilities."
"You can't match my abilities." Mario said.
"We'll see about that!" Shadow Mario growled.
BGM: Shadow Mario (Super Mario Sunshine)
Mario and Shadow Mario ran toward each other and punched each other, both of their fists connecting to each other as they were knocked back. Shadow Mario ran over and did a triple front flip, though it was a bit sloppier than the real deal as Mario did his own triple jump and when both met each other, Shadow Mario tried to punch, but Mario was faster and punched him straight to the ground.
Shadow Mario got back up after he hit the ground and then ran toward Mario again, punching him right in the gut, but was surprised that Mario didn't flinch. Mario did a powerful uppercut to knock him back and to which he ran straight over to him and punched him, but Shadow Mario blocked with his hand and tried to punch him, only for Mario to grab it as both of them were glaring at each other before Mario did a sweep kick to knock him off of his feet and then punched him to the ground.
Mario then tried to kick him, but Shadow Mario rolled out of the way in time and kicked him to the side where he then did a few punches to try and knock Mario down, but since Shadow Mario doesn't have Mario's strength, he barely even flinched as Mario wound up a punch and punched him in the face to where he was launch back several feet.
"Alright, you asked for it!" Shadow Mario exclaimed, taking out his paintbrush and quickly painting a few Goobles and Piranha Plants to help him, but Mario had FLUDD take care of them easily and then Mario had the idea to charge FLUDD up with water.
"I assume you have something in mind." FLUDD said.
"I do." He smirked as Shadow Mario ran over to Mario and tried to whack him with the paintbrush wildly, but Mario dodged every one of them, wondering if Junior ever fought before. Mario quickly jumped to the side and before Shadow Mario could even react, FLUDD sprayed him hard to which Shadow Mario slammed into a wall and dropped a few things in the process where Shadow Mario was back to being Junior once more.
End BGM
"It appears that Junior was holding the Rocket Nozzle and the Turbo Nozzle hostage." FLUDD informed. "…And another Shine Sprite!"
Mario quickly picked up the Rocket Nozzle and Turbo Nozzle. "I think we should have Jade install these in you."
"That would be reasonable." FLUDD said as Mario grabbed the Shine Sprite while he was at it.
"So, Junior… have you ever fought before?" Mario asked.
"Grr… no!" Junior growled. "I've studied all of your moves that you did while you were storming Papa's castle so I wanted to be like you when we battled! I hit you, you should be reeling in pain!"
"And there it is." Mario said. "You did hit me, but it wasn't as hard as you expected it to be. Now why is that?"
"'Cause you hit like a truck!"
"Aside from that, it is because you were too predictable and your jumping was too sloppy."
"I am not predictable!"
"I hate to be that machine, but you definitely were predictable." FLUDD chimed in.
"Quiet, you!" Junior growled as he grabbed his paintbrush again. "I will fight you again, Mario! This time I'll get better!"
Mario turned his back to him as a portal opened up, which would take him back to the Plaza. "Junior… leave the fighting to your father. He did not need to bring you into this mess." He said. "Oh… and by the way…" He turned to him. "I went easy on you." He said and walked in.
"Grrr…" Junior punched the ground in frustration. "You went easy on me?!" He exclaimed and glared hard at the portal. "I'll fight you again! You hear me, you big meanie?! I'LL FIGHT YOU AGAIN AND I'LL BE BETTER THAN EVER! AND YOU BETTER BE GIVING IT YOUR ALL NEXT TIME!" He yelled as he painted a portal back to Corona Mountain and walked in, grumbling to himself.
Back in the Plaza…
"Gah!" Arthur groaned. "I was so close!" He exclaimed.
"Well that was attempt number forty." The Pianta said. "…Do you want someone else to do it? I'm starting to worry about you."
"Never fear! I will best this challenge yet!" Arthur declared.
"Hey Pa…" Percy walked over to him. "Why don't I take a turn instead?"
"Nonsense, son! I think I got it figured out." Arthur said as he went in… and about five seconds later, he came out faceplanting. "How did I miss those three red coins…"
"I'll take a shot." Percy said and casually climbed in.
"Good luck… this pachinko machine is impossible…" Arthur grumbled as he got up.
"Hmm, that frown of yours seems very uncharacteristic of you." The Pianta said, and then Percy landed on the boat. "So! How'd it go?"
"Well… it was quite something, but in the end…" Percy pulled out a Shine Sprite. "I did it."
"YOU DID IT IN ONE TRY?!" Both of them yelled before Arthur picked up his son.
"You did it, my boy!" Arthur said, his smile returning. "I am so proud of you! That elusive Shine Sprite was no match for you! Come on, let's go tell your mother!"
"Yay!" Percy smiled while the Pianta was left speechless.
"…That kid is not human…" The Pinata quietly said.
With JINX…
"Okay, so how can a golden bird hold a Shine Sprite?" Iris wondered as they returned from the deserted island.
"I dunno, you'd think it'd be too heavy for it." Xena said.
"Who knows…" Nyx shrugged.
"Hey Jade!" Mario walked over to them.
"Oh Mario, what do you need?" Jade asked.
"Can you install these into FLUDD?" He asked, pulling out the Rocket Nozzle and the Turbo Nozzle, to which Jade gasped, and then her eyes sparkled.
"Oh yes, I can! I will install anything into a machine! I'll fix this right up!" She said, as Mario unstrapped FLUDD to which Jade went right to work on him.
"Well, I guess we'll wait a while…" Xena said. "…Hey, where did Nyx go?"
With Nyx…
Nyx hurried over to a Pianta who was talking with a female one. "Excuse me." She said, catching their attention.
"Yes?" The Pianta asked.
"I couldn't help but overheard you guys talking when you guys walked by us, but… did you say something about a… Sand Bird?"
"Oh yes, it hatched over at Gelato Beach this morning! Something about it being Legendary or something."
"Fascinating…" Nyx mused. "Thank you!" She said and quickly took off to Gelato Beach.
Meanwhile, at Ricco Harbor…
BGM: Dream Sailing – Gooper Blooper (Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games)
"I don't know how this thing got on the helipad, but this thing is really lively!" Yang said as she dodged Gooper Blooper's tentacles.
"I can't help but notice there's a bandage on his side…" Blake mused as Gooper Blooper decided to swing his tentacles around like a helicopter while spitting out goop to try and make a mess, but to no avail as Yang grabbed one of his tentacles and pulled it off while Blake ran over and slashed it with her Belladonna Claws.
Gooper Blooper desperate tried to spit out ink but Yang grabbed on to his mouth with a smirk. "That's enough out of you!" She said as she started pulling the mouth as Gooper Blooper tried to slap her but Blake slashed through the tentacles to prevent him from doing so, then he started crying for uncle.
"You want me to let go? Alrighty!" Yang said and then let go of his mouth to which Gooper Blooper was sent flying high into the sky, to which a star flashed in the sky and then a Shine Sprite gently came down.
End BGM
"I think you let go a little too hard…" Blake said.
"Ah, he'll be fine." Yang said as she grabbed the Shine Sprite. "Alright, let's go and-"
Suddenly, blue ink was splattered all over the helipad and surrounded the two girls. "What the heck?" Yang asked and then Inkling Boy landed on the helipad. "Uh… hi?"
Inkling Boy said nothing and aimed the Splattershot at the two girls. "Another two versus one? Look, kid… why don't you just-"
Suddenly a blinding light blinded the two of them and then Blake felt herself pinned to the ground. "Nngh!"
"Blake!" Yang exclaimed and saw who was on top of her. "You…"
"Hey, blondie… it's you and me." Inkling Boy said.
"Alright… if you say so!" Yang said, activating her gauntlets.
"Remember me?"
Blake glared at her. "Oh, could I possibly forget?" She asked, kicking Dark Blake off of her.
"You'll pay for what you did to Dark Yang!" She exclaimed.
"That was Yang's fault, not mine!"
"She's your teammate, making it all of your fault… and once I'm done with you, I'll take care of the blonde kid. No one takes out my teammate!"
Blake sighed. "You're consumed by revenge. You're already damaging yourself because of-"
"Don't give me that 'consumed by revenge' crap, nothing ever comes out of it. I'll still kill you right here!"
"…You're going down a dangerous path. You may be my evil doppelganger, but you shouldn't be doing this." Blake said.
"Are you seriously trying to talk me out of this?" Dark Blake questioned. "I'm an evil clone, just like you said. You're suppose to try to kill bad copies, not spare them."
"I'm still going to stop you on this path myself."
"Bring it on!"
BGM: Splattack! (Splatoon)
Yang jumped into the air and punched Inkling Boy, knocking him back to which he quickly shot her up with ink, but she jumped to the side and then Inkling Boy dove right into the ink and disappeared from Yang's view. "What…? Where did you go?" She asked before Inkling Boy jumped out and switched to the Inkbrush and then swung it to hit Yang. "Gah!" She quickly punched him right in the face to knock him back.
Blake and Dark Blake were clashing with their blades repeatedly, until Dark Blake quickly flashed Blake in the eyes to blind her for a few seconds and then tackled her to the ground, but Blake kicked her off and then switched Gambol Shroud to its gun function and shot her a few times to knock her back. Dark Blake recovered went over to slash her, but Blake disappeared and reappeared next to her and punched Dark Blake in the head before kicking her in the gut.
Inkling Boy pulled out a Blaster and shot at Yang, to which she quickly dodged with a smirk, but to her surprise, the Blaster exploded at a short distance and covered Yang up with ink. "Okay, what is WITH you?!" She demanded to know before jumping over to punch him, to which he proceeded to shoot her with the Splattershot again.
Dark Blake jumped up in the air and kicked Blake, but she blocked the attack to which she grabbed her by the leg and threw her down into the ink, to which she punched her but she rolled out of the way, not caring that she was covered in ink as Blake quickly switched back to the Belladonna Claws and slashed her repeatedly before sweep kicking to knock her down and then slashed her away.
Inkling Boy pulled out a Splat Bomb and threw it at Yang, but she was having none of it and kicked it back to him as it exploded in his face but since it was his own color, it didn't really phase him. He dove back into the ink as she quickly shot the ink repeatedly to try and get him, but he was too quick and jumped out of the ink and pulled out the Splat Roller and smacked her in the face with it, to which she responded with a hearty punch to the face, to which she knocked him off of the helipad and into the water below.
"Give it up!" Dark Blake said, grabbing her by the throat. "You're gonna die!"
"No… no I am not!" Blake said, kicking her off and with one swift attack, she slashed her hard enough on the face.
"YAAAGH!" She yelled, having some nasty claw marks on her face with some blood dripping down her face and then Yang came in and punched her in the gut and used an uppercut to knock her high into the air and then she jumped up and punched her into the ground to finish her off.
"You done yet?" Yang glared.
"Nnngh…" Dark Blake glared at them both before blinding them both in a flash of light, and when the light disappeared, she was gone.
End BGM
"You alright?" Yang asked.
"Yeah… I'm fine. I'm starting to wonder if you killing Dark Yang sent her off the deep end." Blake said.
"Oh please, they're all mentally unstable. Just look at Dark Ruby."
Blake chuckled. "What am I thinking…" She said as she walked over to the edge and looked down. "…Hey uh, is he gonna be alright?"
"What do you mean? He can swim, can't he?" Yang asked as she looked down into the water to see him struggling to get to the top.
"I don't think that's possible."
"Oh no…" Yang quietly said as she quickly dove into the water where she grabbed him and pulled him up to the surface, before punching him in the stomach for him to cough out water.
"Gah!" Inkling Boy exclaimed and looked at Yang. "You… saved me?"
"Well, yeah… you might have attacked me, but I have a feeling you're doing this because of… something, I dunno." Yang shrugged. "You look like a good kid so I have to ask… why did you attack us like that?"
"…I don't want to say it…"
"Oh come on, it can't be that personal."
"I said, I don't want to say it!" He said, quickly turning into his Squid Form and quickly launching away.
"…Did he just…?" Blake wondered before sighing. "It's the Mushroom Kingdom, don't question it." She told herself.
"Weiss would be having a conniption over that." Yang said as they noticed a Shine Sprite coming down. "Oh hey look! Another one!" She said as she took it. "Still, I wonder what made him attack us?"
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it might be bad." Blake said.
Yang smiled a bit. "Yeah… but I have a feeling we might be seeing him again. Maybe." She said as a portal opened up near them to which they quickly went back into the Plaza.
At Gelato Beach…
BGM: Gelato Beach (Super Mario Sunshine)
"Oh, this is so cool!" Daisy exclaimed. "Deep sea diving was a good idea!"
Peach giggled. "I know! And it has such a beautiful coral reef!"
"Not to mention that it has some beautiful red coins!"
"…Uh, red coins?" Peach tilted her head. "Don't you mean the fish?"
"No, I actually saw some red coins down there." Daisy said.
"Oh… do you want to collect them?"
"Heck yeah! I'm not saying no to that!" She grinned as they dove back underwater while in the juice bar, Ruby, Qrow and Tai were staring at a Shine Sprite inside some Plexiglas.
"Okay, why is there a Shine Sprite in there?" Ruby asked.
"Honestly, I don't know." The female Pianta said. "We woke up one day and boom, there it was. We've tried everything but this dumb Plexiglas won't even budge! We're trying to get it out from above but there's this rotor that refuses to shut off." She said.
Up above…
"Okay, I think I got it!" A Pianta said, trying to pry it off with a crowbar.
SNAP!
"Aha!" He grinned, but then saw the crowbar was destroyed. "Aww… that's the sixteenth one this week!" He said. "We need another crowbar, stat!"
Down below…
"…We lost another one? Crowbars shouldn't be breaking like that!" She groaned. "Well, at this point, I don't think we'll ever get it out of there!"
"Stand back, I got this!" Ruby quickly pulled out Crescent Rose and slashed it several times… but it didn't break off, so Qrow decided to try it too, but with no such luck.
"Damn, that's some plexiglas." Qrow said.
"Maybe…" Tai wound up his arm and let out a powerful punch, but instead, a mini shockwave went through his arm and through his entire body. "OW!"
"Yeah, punching it would work." Qrow rolled his eyes.
"Told ya." The Pianta shrugged.
"Well, we'll probably figure out a way, I guess." Ruby shrugged and then they walked off, unaware of Nyx on top of a hill, overlooking the Shine Tower.
So that's where it hatched, but I don't see the Sand Bird. Nyx thought to herself. Not to mention I'm not picking up any source of movement with my semblance aside from the others. I need to take a closer look. She thought and then slid down where she jumped off at the right moment, hitting the trampoline and diving right into the Shine Tower where a portal opened up and Nyx went right in.
BGM: Sky & Sea (Super Mario Sunshine)
"Where am I?" Nyx wondered as she looked around to see she was in the sky filled with clouds and then looked down. That's a long way down… She thought and then looked to see a huge tower in the middle of the area. "Whoa…" She said in awe.
The next thing she heard was the sound of something unfamiliar, and Nyx and picked it up to which she turned to see a huge Sand Bird flying toward her, but it was more at a gentle and relaxed pace to which when it got closer, it went through the clouds and picked up Nyx.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed. "Um… you sure don't mind me walking on you?" She asked to which the Sand Bird didn't respond at all. "I'll take that as a no." She said as she noticed some red coins to which she carefully traversed through the Sand Bird and collected them all, but she had observed that there exactly seven red coins. Where's the last one? She wondered and then felt the Sand Bird turning over to its side, which she quickly got to its side so she wouldn't fall to the abyss, and then it went right-side up again as Nyx casually got on top again.
Show off. She thought as she then noticed they were at the top and she spotted the last red coin where she proceeded to jump off and then grabbed the last Red Coin, as the Red Coins turned into a Shine Sprite. "Sweet!" She grinned. "So… how do I get back?"
She heard the Sand Bird again and she turned to see the majestic bird coming down and offering her a lift to which Nyx climbed on top. "Alright, take me back to the Plaza!" She requested as the Sand Bird took off flying.
End BGM
Back at the Beach…
"Hey you!" A voice said as Ruby turned her head to see a small person in a Pianta costume.
"Me?"
"Yeah you! I challenge you to a race to the top of that hill! The winner gets this that I found lying near some tropical trees!" He said, pulling out a Shine Sprite. "The name's II Piantissimo!"
"Well, I'm Ruby Rose and I accept your challenge!"
"Excellent! This race is-"
At this moment, the whole place turned grey and everyone was frozen in place… and then Ruby was punched to the side and then time resumed.
"GAH!"
"-On! …Wait a minute, where you there before?" II Piantissimo asked before being shot in the chest by the dark scythe, knocking the Shine Sprite off of him. "OOOF!" He was knocked to the ground. "I'm okay!" He said before falling unconscious as stars spun around his head.
"Well well well, looks like the whore is enjoying her vacation."
Ruby groaned and glared at Dark Ruby. "You…"
"Hello bitch. It's been a while."
"Ruby!" Tai ran over to him. "I heard-wait, who are you?!"
"Oh…" Dark Ruby smirked sadistically and then reappeared behind Tai, holding the scythe to his neck.
Ruby's eyes widened. "No!"
BGM: Welcome to Despair Academy (Danganronpa)
"Hello, daddy." Dark Ruby greeted Tai. "I wonder what it would be like if you were parentless." She sadistically smirked at Ruby. "Now, you can either let me kill you, or watch your father die. Your choice." She said… and then felt a scythe pressed against her neck.
"You cut his neck open and you will have to answer to me." Qrow threatened.
"Oh, will the intrusions ever end?" Dark Ruby rolled her eyes.
"Ruby, what is going on?" Tai asked.
"Oh, I can answer it for ya. We're the original versions. These losers are nothing more than carbon copies of us that came out of a god damn mirror out of Pandora's Labyrinth." Dark Ruby lied with a sadistic smirk.
"Funny how you managed to get a dirty mouth in the process. As if my niece would ever curse!" Qrow growled.
"Very perceptive of you…" Dark Ruby said and then her eyes glowed, and before Ruby could even blink, Dark Ruby would have both men to the sand pit with her and Qrow's scythe in both of her hands, pressed against their necks.
"NO!" Ruby yelled and then quickly switched Crescent Rose over to its gun mode.
"Ah ah ah! If you do this, you'll obviously miss and then you will watch both of your loved ones die. What will you do?"
Ruby's arms trembled, seeming to be unsure of herself. "Oh, I can see you trembling. Do the memories of me tormenting you haunt you? They should."
"No! I'm not letting it bother me!"
"Oh, once I'm done with these guys, I'm going to be torturing you over and over again until I get bored… and then you will be dead."
"N-no!"
"I won't let you touch my daughter!" Tai yelled.
"Shut it, old man!" She ordered, pressing her boot on his back to which the blade could be felt on his own neck, luckily it wasn't cutting him yet, then looked to Ruby. "On the count of five, they die. Now drop your weapon!"
"N-Never!"
"Okay, that's fair." Dark Ruby chuckled. "One."
Ruby could feel the dread in the air, she wanted to shoot her point blank in the forehead, but… something was bothering her about this.
"Two."
Ruby felt tears swell up in her eyes, her arms started trembling like crazy.
"Thre-OOF!" Dark Ruby didn't finish as she got elbowed in the gut, which made her drop both scythes. She was then knocked down by a punch in the face.
The culprit?
A dusty, old crow.
BGM: Bad Luck Charm (RWBY)
Dark Ruby recovered, only to receive another punch on the cheek by Qrow, and then another on the other cheek, and was then sent up by an upper cut. Qrow grabbed her foot before she could land on her back and then threw her down with a hard smack.
Ruby eyes widened, seeing her uncle just save the day, but also relieved that he and her father are safe now.
"Dammit!" Dark Ruby snarled while recovering before she threw her own punch at Qrow, only for him to catch it without even trying. She punched him with her free hand, which was pathetic, so it did absolutely nothing.
"Heh." Qrow smirked as he tossed Dark Ruby over her shoulder before kicking her away. He then kicked his scythe up to catch it before reverting it back to its sword mode. 'At least there's one thing they have in common.' Qrow thought, thinking about Ruby's skill in hand-to-hand combat.
They both suck at it.
Dark Ruby growled at her 'uncle' before her eyes glowed again, freezing everything in place while also stopping a bullet from Qrow in time.
Pause BGM and resume Welcome to Despair Academy
She ran and picked up her scythe and aimed it at him, but had a second thought. Qrow was an obstacle, but she wanted to torment Ruby more.
So she ran to Ruby and slashed her down, knocking her Crescent Rose away, and resuming time.
When time resumed and Dark Ruby vanished before Qrow's eyes, he and Tai turned to see her standing above Ruby. "Ruby!" They both yelled.
"Try anything funny, just remember… I can stop time and if you think about hurting me, I will pause time and kill you before you can even blink." Dark Ruby threatened.
"Damn!" Qrow cursed under his breath.
"For my old eyes, for Hades, for Dark Yang… and that time you blew me up, I'm going to make sure this one hurts!" Dark Ruby swore as she kicked the downed Ruby then picked her up by the chin, looking her straight in the eye. "Oh, you look so cute when you're a helpless wannabe. It almost makes me feel bad for doing this. …Oh wait, I don't feel horrible at all!" She smirked and then kicked Crescent Rose in the water, then stepping on her hand, making her cry out in pain. "Just so you don't try anything funny with that Rose Palm of yours."
"Now… it's time for your precious rose to be no more!" Dark Ruby chuckled darkly and then started to raise the scythe up in the air, and in a slow motion moment, she started to lower it while an unexpected ally started running toward her… and then before the scythe could touch Ruby, she could feel the pressure off of hand being lifted… and then the next thing she knew, she saw Dark Ruby flying in the air with a shocked look on her face, and then Ruby looked over to see a Cataquack standing right there that had just flipped her into the air.
End BGM
"AAAAAAAAH!" Dark Ruby yelled before falling into the sand between them while the Cataquack simply kicked sand into Dark Ruby before walking off.
"Uh… thank you…?" She said as the Cataquack nodded and casually walked away where Ruby quickly grabbed her scythe as Dark Ruby got out of the sand.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT ALL ABOUT!" She screamed and then saw Ruby with her scythe and since Dark Ruby had sand in her eyes, she couldn't see clearly and felt a bullet hit her in the shoulder. "AGH!"
"This time, I won't miss." Ruby said as Qrow smirked and held his scythe.
"Even though you're not really her, I don't like the idea of hitting my own daughter. But I guess I have to suck it up." Taiyang cracked his knuckles. 'Really should remember my weapon next time.'
"Alright… you want to do this the hard way?" Dark Ruby glowed before she was in her Amazon form. "So be it." Dark Ruby growled. For those who don't know/remember, Dark RWBY gained the powers of Pandora during RWBY's adventure with Pit and Palutena, giving the clones their Volume 2 outfits but with Amazon Pandora's colors; light-blue and violet colors replacing Ruby's Slayer outfit in Dark Ruby's case.
Resume Bad Luck Charm
Dark Ruby's eyes glowed and then disappeared, then reappearing to the side of Qrow and slashing him, hitting him in the side and then Qrow retaliated by slashing her repeatedly as she attempted to block them and then Tai came to the side and punched her in the face to knock her to the side. "Nngh… now I know where Yang gets it from!" She growled as she shot the both of them with her scythe to which Qrow got in the way and blocked the attacks.
Ruby came running in with her semblance and then appeared to her back and then activated her Rose Palm and then shot a small blast at her to knock her back to which Ruby activated her semblance and tackled Dark Ruby and both of them clashed.
"Give up, you bitch!" Dark Ruby snarled and then kneed Ruby in the gut and flipped her to the side but then Ruby quickly recovered and started to use her semblance to go around her again but then Dark Ruby paused time. "I'm not falling for that trick again!" She said and then shot her in the stomach before kicking her hard straight to a tree then had her eyes stop glowing, only for Tai to punch her in the back and then kicked her to the ground.
"I don't know how it happened over at this lady's labyrinth, but all I know is that you're going down!" Tai declared.
"Oh, how cute." Dark Ruby rolled her eyes and then slashed at Tai repeatedly, as he dodged the attacks and then Qrow took aim with his scythe and then fired a shot that hit Dark Ruby's scythe off of her and before she could react, Tai punched her square in the face as he did a few jabs followed by an uppercut that knock her high into the air and then Qrow jumped up and slashed Dark Ruby down.
"You're not so tough." Qrow smirked as Dark Ruby's eyes started to glow, before being shot in the shoulder from Crescent Rose as Ruby came back and kicked her in the gut before doing a Homing Attack that smacked into her before slashing Dark Ruby repeatedly and then used an uppercut before jumping back and letting out a charged shot from her Rose Palm to knock her into the water.
Dark Ruby quickly reappeared in front of Ruby with her scythe and had it pressed against her neck. "One of these days, I'm going to kill everyone you love right in front of you… and then what will you do?"
"Try and stop you… of course!"
"Heh… how naïve." Dark Ruby smirked, but then Ruby stomped on her foot to make her yelp in agony as she jumped to the side and slashed her repeatedly and went straight for the eyes again, but Dark Ruby's eyes widened and quickly got out of the way in time, but not before getting sliced in the cheek. "Gah!"
Ruby then punched her straight to a tree and then pinned her there, with her blade pinned against Dark Ruby's neck. "Give up. Now!"
"Oh, you actually grew a pair." Dark Ruby said. "…However, you're still the naïve brat. Heh… I know when I'm defeated however." She kneed her in the gut to have her keel over a bit. "Consider this one a draw. We'll meet again… alone." She said and then disappeared.
End BGM
Ruby put her Crescent Rose away and deactivated her Rose Palm… before collapsing on the spot but Tai was quick to catch her. "You okay?" He asked.
"…Not really…" She replied with a saddened sigh. "How can I protect anyone if that maniac is still around?"
"We'll get her next time." Qrow said as he walked up. "But, just a little advice for you, kid… you can't protect or save everyone. There may come a point where you have to choose one friend over the other and I doubt just shooting the bad guy would help any favors." He said.
"I know…" She still sighed.
Tai ruffled up her hair. "Come on, I know what'll cheer ya up. I'm sure there's a shop that sells cookies here somewhere."
"Somehow, I'm not in the mood for them…" Ruby muttered.
"…That's a bit uncharacteristic of you." Qrow said as he noticed something in the corner of his eye as he walked over to the palm tree and knelt down, seeing two Shine Sprites. "Huh… was that edgy brat already holding one?" He wondered.
Back at the Plaza…
"Aaaand… done! Great, you're all set!" Jade said. "I also installed an anti-theft mechanism that can give the would-be thief a jolt of electricity!"
"Thank you Jade." FLUDD said as Mario strapped him on. "Mario, I would recommend using the Rocket Nozzle to clean the two Bell Towers and the Shine Gate."
"Right." Mario nodded and then quickly switched it to the Rocket Nozzle and proceeded to blast off. "WAHOOOOO!"
"Well, he's having fun." Xena said. "Meanwhile, where the hell is Nyx?!"
"I have no idea where she disappeared to." Iris said, and at that very moment, they heard a very unfamiliar sound as they looked up to see the Legendary Sand Bird coming down, sprouting legs and landed near the square where Nyx hopped off.
"Yo!" Nyx greeted.
"What… the hell is that?!" Iris asked.
"The Legendary Sand Bird, of course." Nyx nonchalantly said and looked at the Sand Bird. "Thanks for the lift!" She said as the Sand Bird nodded and then flew up in the air, where everyone else was taking pictures of the Sand Bird before it disappeared into the sky.
"THIS PLACE IS GETTING WEIRDER BY THE SECOND!" Washington was heard screaming.
"So, what did I miss?"
Jade slapped herself to snap herself out of it. "Oh, nothing much. Just installed some nozzles into FLUDD while also giving him an Anti-Theft feature."
"Sweet!" Nyx said and then they heard two bells sounding as they looked to see Mario diving into the ocean to recharge and then hopped back out where he held two Shine Sprites that appeared after giving it a good scrub and then they watched him blast off to the Shine Gate where he gave the humongous Shine Sprite a good scrubbing… and after it was done, it also gave him a Shine Sprite where an elevator had also activated to send them up to a Warp Pipe up top that would lead them to Pianta Village, but Mario didn't notice as he freefell to the water.
"Yup… he's having way too much fun." Xena said.
At Pinna Park…
BGM: Secret Course (Super Mario Sunshine)
"Wait… how is there an entire world in this cannon?" Neptune wondered.
"Dude, at this point, I'm not even questioning it." Sun chuckled as they quickly grabbed the Red coins in the area while also being careful about the disappearing platforms where they saw a group of Strollin' Stus strolling along the area, where they were shot to a wall by Neptune.
"Weirdos…" Neptune said as the two went to go collect the Red Coins as they then jumped on the trampoline platforms and landed on top where they noticed the other platforms disappeared faster than the others, so when they reappeared, they quickly booked it while collecting the coins and then when they rounded the corner, they collected the last red coin and then quickly got the other Shine Sprite while the other appeared in Sun's hand.
"Well, that takes care of that!" Sun grinned.
"Yeah!" Neptune nodded with a grin.

With Weiss…
"These are some huge Yoshi eggs…" Weiss mused, casually checking one out as it started to move… before it jumped out of the ground and roared loudly. "What the?! You're not a Yoshi!" She exclaimed as she noticed the other so-called Yoshi eggs popping out of the ground and noticing some big sunflowers looking partially wilted.
She immediately brought out Myrtenaster. "I'm going to make sure you guys don't kill them… otherwise the Goddess of Nature will have a field day over this!" She said as she proceeded to attack the Snooza Koopas one by one where they tried to dive bomb her but she backflipped out of the way in time to have one stuck… and another crushing the first one until there was only one left where Weiss summoned a glyph and a small iceberg landed on the last one, crushing it.
"And that's that." Weiss said as she saw sunflowers springing up everywhere while the Sunflower Kids started blooming again where the Great Sunflower was the last to re-bloom… and a Shine Sprite popped out of her.
"Oh, goodness! I didn't know I had one in me!" The Great Sunflower said.
"Sunflowers can ta-You're in the Mushroom World, Weiss… don't question it." She told herself as she put it away and went over to retrieve the Shine Sprite and walked away. "Alright, that's another-" A fireball hit her in the back. "Gah!"
"Well well well… if it isn't the ice queen."
Weiss growled, looking annoyed and turned around, already summoning the Schnee Orbitars. "Fire Queen…"
"I'm not a Fire Queen." Dark Weiss glared.
"And I'm not an Ice Queen either!" Weiss said.
"Oh, I'm going to enjoy skewering you to a kebab!" She smirked wickedly.
"In your dreams!" Weiss said.
BGM: Remnant of Twilight (Hyrule Warriors)
Both Weiss lunged toward each other, both of them clashing their rapiers a few times before they jumped back as Weiss launched icicles from her glyphs and her Orbitars, unfortunately, Dark Weiss unleashed a stream of fire to get rid of the ice as Weiss stabbed the ground to form a makeshift ice rink as she started ice skating toward Dark Weiss.
Dark Weiss smirked and stabbed the ground, as a pillar of fire erupted underneath Weiss to knock her up in the air and then she jumped up and scissor kicked Weiss to the ground and then when she got back, she was hit in the face by a ball of fire to knock her down.
Weiss growled, not wanting to give up as she got back up and formed a barrier of ice and then jumped on top of it where Dark Weiss carved a hole and then Weiss jumped off the wall and then slashed Dark Weiss a few times and kicked her to a palm tree where she stabbed Dark Weiss a few times before a wall of fire knocked her back.
Come on, Weiss… what else do you have up your sleeve? Weiss wondered and then thought of something. Wait a second, I trained with Marth, didn't I? She thought as she suddenly changed battle stances to appear more like Marth. Dark Weiss tilted her head before shrugging it off and went straight for Weiss and slashed her, but Weiss blocked and countered the attack to knock her back.
As Dark Weiss got back up, Weiss jumped up in the air and then when she was above her, she slashed downward from above and then when she landed, she quickly did Dancing Blade to knock Dark Weiss back a few and then attempted to do a Shield Breaker… but unfortunately, she had the stance similar to Lucina as Dark Weiss smirked and proceeded to smack a fireball at her gut to cause her to flinch and then unleashed a barrage of stabbing to knock her down.
"You're pathetic… and I'll make sure you'll die here!" Dark Weiss declared, holding her foot on Weiss's gut with a wicked smirk, but Weiss grabbed some sand and threw it at her face. "AGH!" She yelled, trying to rub the sand out of her eyes which Weiss stabbed the ground as a huge iceberg smacked Dark Weiss from underneath to send her flying and when she got closer, she charged up the Shield Breaker again, this time not as wildly open like last time and then unleashed it right when Dark Weiss was within range, and she smacked right into a pillar to knock her out.

"Thank you, handsome prince of Altea." Weiss said with a smile. Too bad you're already married… She thought as she walked over to Dark Weiss and put the tip of her rapier on her neck. "Now, do you accept defeat?" She asked.
"Grr… THIS ISN'T OVER!" She yelled, unleashing a wall of fire that surrounded her and nearly blinded Weiss… and when it disappeared, she was gone and a Shine Sprite had appeared right there.
"I should've seen that coming." Weiss sighed as she took the second Shine Sprite. "I wonder how the others are doing?"
BGM: Pinna Park (Super Mario Sunshine)
"Hey Jaune! Look what I won!" Pyrrha exclaimed as when Jaune turned around, she pulled out a cute doll, which had a blue standard Western outfit and a wide-brimmed hat as well as an orange scarf wrapped around the face. Oh, and it also had cute white eyes. "Look at him, he's so cute!"
"Huh… neat!" Jaune smiled and then tossed a ring into the ring toss.
"Congratulations! Here's your prize!" The Pianta exclaimed and handed him a doll that was a bear of a monochrome color. One half white, one half black, one of the eyes was sinister looking and the other was innocent looking, one half of the mouth was an evil toothy grin and the other was a simply innocent mouth.
"Uh… what am I even looking at…" Jaune said, looking at it. "A Monochrome bear? No thank you!" He said as he tossed it into the trash. "I don't know why, but I was getting some despair vibes from it."
"It could be worse." Luigi said. "You could've gotten a skeleton doll with a blue jacket and a pull string that says horrible puns. I threw it away and dumped my milkshake on it." He said and then a garbage truck came in and grabbed the trash can, dumped it in and drove off.
"…Whoever designs those kinds of toys must like scaring kids." Jaune said.
"Sakura! Look at this!" Elise exclaimed as the Hoshidan Princess turned to look at her. "They have those cute little Amiibo toys and I just won two of them!" She then pulled out two figures. "Ta-dah! It's Prince Marth and your big brother Corrin!"
"O-Oh my! I heard Marth was a rarity!" Sakura said.
"Lucky me!" Elise smiled and tossed Sakura the Corrin Amiibo.
"I wonder how they got the right proportions for these two?" Sakura wondered.
"Who knows." Elise shrugged.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE MARTH AMIIBO ARE SOLD OUT?!" A Pianta yelled.
"…We better move. I heard people get quite angry when the Marth Amiibo are sold out." Elise said.
"Good idea." Sakura nodded.
"Congratulations, young angel! You win a prize!" A Noki said and then gave Pit a small mini robot.
"Oooh! Chibi-Robo!" Pit grinned and then thought of something. "Hey, do you have a little box? I want to give this to my girlfriend."
"Coming right up!" He said while Pit was unaware of Penny staring at the little robot.
"Hey there little guy." Penny quietly said and waved, as Chibi-Robo looked up and did a wave to Penny before going limp again. "Aww! He likes me!" She smiled as Pit put Chibi-Robo in a box.
"Thank you! I feel like Ruby's gonna like this!" He said and walked off while Penny watched the rotating ships rotate over the ride.
"Neat!" She said and then saw Mona climb on top of the ride to collect the red coins lying around. "What is she doing…?"
"MONA! GET DOWN FROM THERE!" Jen yelled.
"No! My faunus-like nature requires me to collect all shiny objects!" Mona said.
"Good grief… she's going to get hurt!" Jen groaned but to her amazed, Mona managed to grab the red coins before jumping over onto the gates to collect the other red coins.
"Actually, I think she's doing rather well." Camrin whistled.
"Ugh… whoever placed the red coins there deserves to be shot…" Jen grumbled as Mona collected the last red coin and the Shine Sprite appeared in her hand.
"I HAVE THE-" The Shine Sprite took off. "…Shiny… never mind." Mona sighed.
"Alright, come on down, Mona!" Anthony requested as the ships came to a stop and a few people came out.
"Ugh… that was pleasant… not." Coco groaned while the rest of CFVY was groaning while Grif went to find a garbage can to puke.
"I TOLD YOU not to eat all that cotton candy, Grif!" Simmons scolded.
"Dag nabbit, Grif! You're making an embarrassment of the Red Team again!" Sarge exclaimed. "…And when did you get a twin?!"
"I think you're dizzy, sir." Simmons said.
"Am not, Simmons one, two and three!" Sarge said.
"That's impossible." Simmons said. "There's only one me!" He said… and then Sarge fell over. "Hoo boy…"
"Don't worry! I can easily take care of him in no time!" Doc said.
"Gah! Where'd you come from?!" Simmons asked in surprise while Donut, Tucker, Church and Caboose walked out next.
"Let's ride that spinning vehicle again!" Caboose said, surprisingly the only one not dizzy.
"Anyone got the license plate number on that ship…? I'd like to get off…" Tucker groaned as he and Donut fell over.
"Okay, is it possible for a ghost enclosed inside a robotic body to feel like puking? Because I'm pretty sure do!" Church groaned, holding on to his head.
Then, Phoenix, Maya, Lillie, Guzma and Umber were the last to get off. "Ooof… I'm never doing that again." Phoenix groaned.
"Same here… ugh…" Maya groaned while Guzma and Umber had similar results while Lillie sweatdropped.
"Uh… how am I the only one that didn't get motion sick over that?" Lillie wondered.
"Ugh, I think I'm still dizzy from that… the Ferris Wheel is spinning like crazy…" Guzma grumbled.
"Guys… I don't think it's because you're dizzy. It's actually spinning really fast!" Lillie said as they saw the Ferris Wheel spinning really fast.
"I'm no expert on Ferris Wheels, but I don't think that should be spinning like that." Hana said.
"Let me take a look." Subaki said as he got as close as he could up front. "I see some kind of Electro Koopa snoozing where the breaker should be. It's making the Ferris Wheel go insane!"
"Oh great, how are we gonna go through it?" Jaune asked as they heard some explosions. "Uh, what was that?" He wondered and then looked around. "And where's Nora?"
"Taking care of the problem." Ren said as he pointed upward as they turned to see Nora bouncing to the stop and then she walked around the Electro Koopa while being unfazed by the electricity as she readied her hammer like a golf club.
"FOOOOOOORE!" She yelled and swung the Electro Koopa into the water, with it letting out a cry before falling into the water and dying on impact, where a Shine Sprite emerged from the water and landed in Nora's hands. "Yay!" She said and then the Ferris Wheel started slowing down until it came to a gentle stop… and the Toad Brigade and Toadsworth walked out groaning.
"Let's go on the Ferris Wheel, you said… it'll be fun, you said!" Yellow Toad groaned.
"Ugh… how was I supposed to know that'd happen?" Captain Toad groaned while Toadsworth faceplanted.
"Let me know when the world has stopped spinning…" Toadsworth groaned.

With Washington…
"Ugh, this is insane! There's no way I can handle this insanity any longer!" He complained… and then he heard growling. "Was that my stomach?" He wondered, but then the growling got louder as he turned around. "Who's there?! Show yourself!"
At that moment, a certain freelancer appeared before Washington as he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Holy shit… Maine?!" He asked in surprise before Meta grabbed him by the shoulders and shoved him into the boathouse. "Ack! Hey, what did I do?!"
Meta shut the doors behind him, and letting out a growl that Wash could've sworn he heard "We need to talk."
"Alright… what do you want to talk about?"
I have this headcanon that Mario likes to go all out, but when he finds out that you've never fought before, he goes easy on you.
Also, the Dark RWB characters plus Inkling Boy were basically the Shadow Mario Shine Sprites. I mean, did ya WANT to have the same fight with Junior over and over again?
Also, I don't hate Danganronpa or Undertale at all, I just really don't like that Monobear, nor do I like this Undertale fandom that can't seem to get the hint that I do NOT want to do anything related to Undertale at all. And no, that Sans doll being thrown into the trash and a milkshake dumped on it before being hauled off doesn't count. It's basically me how I feel about the Undertale fandom in general. It belongs in the trash. (Note: I know there are good and less obnoxious people in said fandom. Y'all are cool in my eyes! Everyone else though... yeah... I regret nothing!)
Oh, and I just saw Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Best. Movie. Ever.
