BGM: Gusty Gulch Adventures (Paper Mario)

"So, this is Gusty Gulch." Mario said as they wandered into the area.

"Not a bad place if you ask me." Keaton said.

"Hmm…" Ruby rubbed her chin in thought and looked at Nyx. "You said this was the place where you grew up, right?"

"Hmm, what?" Nyx asked, as she seemed out of it, most likely during her little spat with Bow. "Oh, yeah, this is where I used to live until…" She sighed. "I'd rather not talk about it."

"I wonder what caused her to leave…" Kamui wondered.

"I bet it was the Boos. I wouldn't blame her." Luigi quietly said.

"It had nothing to do with us Boos." Bow told him. "Some of us witnessed the whole thing during that day."

"Oh? And who was responsible for that?" Kamui asked.

"…It's best if you found out for yourself." Bow said as they walked further as they noticed a windmill near them.

"What's a windmill doing way out here?" Blake wondered.

"I don't know, but it feels like it's important." Henry said as they kept walking until they got to a small section of Boos.

"Oh, lady Bow! What are you doing here?" A Boo asked.

"What does it look like? I've had enough of this nonsense and I'm putting a stop to this!" Bow said.

"Just you?" Nyx asked with a glare.

"Okay, fine, all of us." Bow said, rolling her eyes.

The Boo sweatdropped. "I see… well, there's a problem, the Boos are doing everything they could, in fact, we sent a small group to Tubba Blubba's castle… none of them returned."

"I see, and where is Tubba Blubba's Castle?" Mario asked.

"Right at the very top." The Boo said. "There used to be a house there but… that thing got demolished by… what seemed to be very fat and very skinny terrorists. The next thing we knew, a freakin' castle gets built over it."

Nyx gasped, her eyes widening. "That house… what did you say about it?!"

"How skinny are we talking?" Keaton asked.

"Like, extremely skinny to the point that makes you wonder if he's eaten anything at all." The Boo replied. "At least, that's what some Boos have told me." He said. "It's just a rumor though, I doubt there was a house on top of there to begin with."

"And how would you know there wasn't such a house?" Bow asked.

"…I hung out in Forever Forest too long, didn't I?"

"Yes, you did, Mike." Another Boo said. "You need to get out more."

"What do you think I'm doing?!"

"Aaanyway, we-"

Keaton started sniffing the air. "Hey, do you guys smell that?" He asked.

"What do you smell?" Henry asked.

"Like… big and a lot of juicy, yet rotting meat." Keaton said.

Nyx closed her eyes. "I am picking up on something approaching us, and it's a big one."

"…Ooooh, that's probably Tubba Blubba." The Boo said as the other Boos disappeared. "…Lady Bow, you gotta hide all of them!"

"Right!" Bow nodded. "Guys, gather around me and touch me! I'll make us all disappear!"

"…There is no way I am touching you." Nyx glared at her.

"Oh, for the love of, just do it!" Bow ordered.

"Nyx, can you just humor her?" Weiss asked.

"…Oh, fine…" Nyx grumbled as she touched Bow as she quickly turned everyone invisible.

"Great! Now that you're all disappeared, he won't even notice you!" The Boo exclaimed. "This is excellent! You won't have to worry about being seen by Tubba Blubba and… he's right behind me, isn't he?" He asked as he turned to see Tubba Blubba.

"Mmm! You look mighty tasty! I think I'll have a snack!" He said, grabbing a hold of the Boo.

"Uh oh…" The Boo paled as he tried to flee, but Tubba Blubba had a firm grip… and he ate the poor guy as the others looked at in horror.

I didn't need to see that! Ruby thought.

I think I'm gonna be sick… Luigi thought.

That's just not right! Blake thought.

…Another one bites the dust. Good riddance. Nyx thought to herself as Tubba Blubba looked around before he walked off back to his castle.

"Oh great, there goes another one!" A Boo complained as they reappeared. "Remind me why eating people is Rated E for everyone?"

"Well you see, Nintendo likes to make family friendly content and-"

"Oh suuuuuure, family friendly! Just like Crocomire's flesh melting off in Super Metroid is family friendly!"

"…Okay, you got me there."

"Exactly!"

"Who's Crocomire?" Ruby wondered.

"A monster that Samus faced in the past." Luigi said. "…I don't like that flesh melting off part though."

"Let's not worry about that for now." Bow said. "We should focus on getting to Tubba Blubba and getting rid of this mess once and for-where'd Nyx go?"

"Wasn't she here?" Weiss asked.

"Uh, guys?" Kamui got their attention and saw Nyx running to Tubba Blubba's castle.

"Hey, Nyx! Wait for us!" Mario said as they ran after her.

"You know, we'd run a little faster if we weren't made out of paper." Henry said.

"Oh please, could you imagine living in a world where you couldn't easily squeeze on through tight spaces?" Keaton asked.

"Fair point… but then again, it'd be so fun watching everyone squirm about from their ultimate demise. Hehehe." Henry chuckled devilishly.

"…Remind me why he's the good guy?" Luigi asked as they took care of the Hyper Goomba family and Hyper Clefts that got in their way.

End BGM

With Nyx…

Please don't let it be true, please don't let it be true… Nyx thought as she soon got to the top… and then she felt her heart stop as soon as she saw Tubba Blubba's castle. "No… no, this can't be true… no!" She exclaimed as she saw a huge pile of debris sitting near the castle with a sign that read "to be burned".

It never really got around to be burned, it's just sitting there… but Nyx immediately knew that this was her old house, or what was left of it.

She could still hear their voices…

BGM: Sad Girl (Super Mario Galaxy)

"Wah ha ha ha! You lost against the great Waluigi!"

"N-no… this can't be! D-Dad! Tell me you didn't lose!"

"…I did…"

"No! Best two out of three! Please!"

"No… I'm a man of my word. We'll pack up straight away and leave."

"Good!"

"Mom! Stop dad from doing something! Make him do it again! Please!"

"…Sorry sweetheart… but it wasn't best two out of three."

"No! …I'll do it! I'll save this house!"

"No! We need to leave… and find a better home."

"I don't want to leave… *sniff* I don't…! *sob* I don't want to leave!"

"Time for you losers to pack up and leave."

"Ha ha ha! Have a rotten day!"

The three of them left, packing up all they could… and as they soon got near the Forever Forest, they could hear sounds of explosions near their house and Nyx knew… that those two morons were blowing up their home.

"NO!" Nyx screamed and tried to run, but her mother caught her by the arm.

"Sweetie… it's too late. Let's go."

"But-"

"No buts! Let's go."

End flashback

Tears were streaming down her cheeks, not even bothering to wipe them away. She then noticed something in the rubble, a picture that they forgot to take with them, and she picked it up to see it was a picture of her family, but her mother and father were burned out, and leaving Nyx in the middle.

She then looked at the castle in front of her, where her home once stood still… but now, all that remained was rubble and what remained of her old house.

"If it helps." A voice said as she turned to see Bow. "I voiced my opinion on the matter of burning the remains. I didn't want my fellow Boos to burn the remains. I was hoping we could salvage what was left and give them to some merchant and tell him "Give these remains to the Shadows." It was the least we could do."

"…But why didn't you do anything? You could've stopped them from blowing up our house!"

"Don't you think we tried that? One of us got blown away by a Bullet Bill and were warned not to get any closer. It's not like we had a choice!"

"…You Boos are cowards… You do nothing but scare innocent people… and you did nothing to stop them from blowing our home up… all because of some god damn Bill Blasters?! You can outmaneuver them for Christ's sake! Why couldn't you do anything?!"

"Honestly… we were kind of scared by those Bullet Bills. We couldn't do anything. It also didn't help they had Bob-ombs in their hands and threatened to throw them at us. To make matters worse… they forced us to join in on the destruction or we'd be blown away by a Bullet Bill."

Nyx's body trembled. "…You helped them… you Boos… you…!"

"Nyx, calm down! It's a thing in the past." Bow said. "Do we regret blowing it up? Of course we do!"

"But you don't regret scaring people for fun? Unbelievable!" She said as she stormed off into Tubba Blubba's castle.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Tearing this place down!" She exclaimed and ran on in, dropping the picture.

"…So reckless…" Bow growled… and heard a scream of rage. "Oh, for the love of!" She said and went in after her, right as the others showed up.

End BGM

"Where's Nyx?" Ruby asked.

"I don't know… I think she went in alone with Bow." Weiss said as some of them examined the remains of Nyx's house.

"So… this is Nyx's home… or what's left of it." Mario said.

"Kind of sad, really…" Luigi sighed.

"So… why would Nyx storm on in there alone?" Keaton asked. "Seems kind of dumb if you ask me." He said.

Blake looked at the photo that Nyx dropped, remembering something of her past. "…She's making a mistake." She whispered and quickly ran in.

"Blake?" Kamui asked. "Where's she going?"

"Oh good grief!" Weiss sighed.

"Hmm, this oughta be interesting." Henry mused.

Inside…

BGM: Face It! (Kingdom Hearts: Re:Chain of Memories)

"RAAAAAAAAH!" Nyx screamed, firing bows everywhere at Sentinels to get rid of them, and when some Clubba's tried to take her on, she quickly pulled out her pistol and quickly shot them down and ran off, proceeding to make a mess of things in her seemingly unstoppable rage.

She then pulled out her knife and quickly tackled a Clubba to the ground as it tried to fight her off, but she slashed the mace off of him as she raised her hands up in anger, ready to take it out… until suddenly, a thrown fan hit the knife off of her as it returned to Bow.

"Nyx! Stop this right now!"

Nyx glared at her as she got off of the Clubba as it proceeded to get the hell out of there. "Out. Of. My. Way."

"I know you're angry with my kind, and specifically those fellows." Bow said. "But what good will come out of revenge?"

"Shut up… SHUT UUUUUP!" Nyx screamed, pulling out her gun at her.

"…So, I guess I'll have to smack some sense into you." Bow said. "Very well then, bring it on."

End BGM

BGM: Shrouding Dark Cloud (Kingdom Hearts)

Nyx switched out the Dust in her gun from yellow to red as she quickly shot Bow, who quickly disappeared and then reappeared as she flew over and proceeded to slap her repeatedly.

"WILL! YOU! SNAP! OUT! OF! IT!" She yelled until Nyx grabbed her by the hand and threw her down. "Ooof!"

Nyx aimed her gun directly at her and pulled the trigger right at her, burning Bow a little. "Gah!" She cried before she was kicked away and kept shooting her repeatedly before switching to the blue dust and tried to shoot her to freeze her up.

Bow, however, snapped out of her daze and pulled out her fan and deflected the ice dust repeatedly by swinging it back and forth before she disappeared and reappeared behind her, but Nyx anticipated this and roundhouse kicked her before she could get a good slap in. "Argh!" Bow cried and hit a wall.

"DIE!" Nyx screamed, aiming the gun right at her and pulled the trigger, but it was then that the bullet hit someone else, and froze Blake in place, or so it seemed. "Blake?!" She exclaimed before she was tackled to the ground by the real one.

"Ooof…" Bow shook it off and noticed claws from Blake's ice sculpture. Smart thinking. She thought.

End BGM

"Nyx! Stop this, please!" Blake begged, holding on to her. "This isn't you!"

"Let… go of me! I need to kill her… I need to destroy everythi-"

Before she could even finish, Blake slapped her, something that even surprised Bow.

"Nyx… please… I don't want to lose you the way I lost Adam…" Blake whispered.

BGM: The Stray (RWBY, Start at 3:23)

"Wh-what are you…?"

"Stopping you from making a terrible mistake." She said. "I know you don't like Boos… but… look at this, you're not yourself."

"I'm perfectly fine as I am."

"No, you're not!" Blake told her. "You're not fine… you have it out for Boos, just like someone I know has it out for humans…"

"I will make sure the humans will pay for what they did to us! I WILL not stand for this no longer!"

"I thought he had good intentions… I really thought he'd make humans and Faunus equal, but, his way of thinking made me realize that he was going down a darker path than I thought."

"I'll set the charges."

"What about the crew members?"

"What about them?"

"Adam… he hates humans with a passion. So much that he brought himself down into a dark path that I couldn't follow anymore. The White Fang was supposed to make the humans understand that we are equal… but Adam had different ideas." Blake sighed. "When I saw you yelling at Bow for what they did to your family… it made me remember what Adam said about humans."

"It is time the Faunus take a stand and show the world that we should rule it with an iron fist… and make the humans pay for what they did!"

"I didn't think of it at first, but as I did... I realized that this wasn't the man I once loved." Blake said as she got up and pulled Nyx up… and then she suddenly hugged her. "Nyx… don't go down the same path as him… I couldn't save him from what he turned into… but I can save you."

Nyx teared up and started to cry a little. "I'm sorry… I shouldn't have…"

"It's alright… we're here for you." Blake said. "And besides… I didn't see you attacking Booniper."

"I told you tolerated him… but I didn't trust him… not in the slightest. I held back on myself then… but seeing all these Boos in the mansion and the fact they had a helping hand in destroying my home put me over the edge…"

"It's not like we had a choice." Bow muttered. "It was either helping them or get blown to pieces."

Nyx sniffed a little. "So this White Fang, are those the guys who've been terrorizing everyone?" She asked.

"They are." Blake nodded.

"If that's the case, then I'll remember to give them a thing or two when we meet them. I hate them already from hearing about what they've done."

"No one likes the White Fang." Blake said with a smile before frowning. Still… I hope Ilia doesn't go down the same path as Adam. She thought.

"Those degenerates have a proper place in Hell for them." Bow said as they all chuckled at this.

Blake looked at her. "And what about those two degenerates that destroyed your home?"

"They're the worst in my book… with Boos being second for now." Nyx said.

"So, who are these two?" Blake asked. "If you don't mind me asking. I'll keep it a secret."

Nyx smiled a little. "I don't like talking about these two, but I only said this to Sarge." She said. "They're Wario and Waluigi."

"Wario and Waluigi…" Blake mused. "Hmm… I feel like I've heard of them when I was training with Zelda one time…" She said.

"One's yellow and extremely fat. The other is purple and very skinny."

"…And these two destroyed your home…" Blake mused. "Wonder what their motivation was." She said, looking at Bow.

"They wouldn't say." She said. "If it helps, we were reluctant and unwilling to help those two."

"I don't care what their motivation was… if I ever run into them, I am going to destroy them." Nyx said.

"Let's… not destroy ourselves over this." Blake said with a sweatdrop. "But, I'll help you take them down if you want."

Nyx chuckled. "Sarge said he'd help out."

"The more the merrier." Blake said.

"I'll help you too!" Bow said. "I've been meaning to slap them for a while."

Nyx smiled. "Thanks, you two."

"…Huh, you actually thanked a Boo!" Bow said with a smile. "So… shall we take down Tubba Blubba together?" She asked as she put her stubby arm out for her.

"Yeah." She nodded and then looked at the hand, reaching out for it… but hesitating once again before she pulled away. "…I still don't trust you."

Bow laughed. "Oh, baby steps, I suppose." She said.

End BGM

"Come on, let's regroup with the others. They're probably wondering where we are." Blake said as they nodded and walked off, where they saw the gang in the lobby looking at the damage that Nyx had done.

"No fair, I wanted a piece of the action." Keaton muttered.

"Oh ho, there's a dark side to miss Shadow. I like!" Henry smirked devilishly.

"Hey, you feeling alright?" Weiss asked as they had notice the trio returning.

"Yeah… just had to get some sense slapped into me." She said, as they noticed that she's a lot more calmer now.

"Well, alright! Let's go take care of this Tubba Blubba!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Everyone exclaimed as they walked off.

BGM: Tubba Blubba's Castle (Paper Mario)

"So… what's with all the blood?" Luigi wondered.

"Don't worry about it." Nyx said as they wandered through.

"I mean, I'm not really a fan of Clubbas, but… eh, I'll just stop there." Luigi said as they walked around as a Sentinel spotted them and went right for them, but Nyx aimed her crossbow at it and shot it down as they walked further.

"I wonder why everything's so big here." Ruby wondered.

"It's simple! He's a giant and loves giant things." Keaton said. "Hmm, I wonder if there's anything collectable here!"

"You probably won't be able to hold anything that big." Kamui said with a giggle.

"Challenge accepted." Keaton smirked as they kept walking until they came across a locked door.

"Oh great, we gotta turn around and get a key." Luigi sighed.

"Nonsense!" Keaton said as he turned into his werewolf form, howled, and with one mighty punch, he destroyed the lock and the doors flung open. "Aww, I was hoping for the doors to fall." Keaton said as he turned to normal.

"Well, that's one way to get through." Mario chuckled as they wandered on through.

"…Does anyone feel like their neck is being breathed down on?" Luigi asked.

"Uh… no…" Yang said. "Why?"

"Oh, no reason…" Luigi said. "Just the fact that Bow is right there and nobody else is behind me…" He said.

"It's probably just your imagination." Henry said. "Or is it?"

"You're not helping!" Luigi exclaimed and then when he turned, there was nothing… but when he turned back around… there was a Boo.

"Boo!"

"AAAAAAAH!" Luigi yelled as they jumped and turned around to see the Boo.

"Oh goodness sake! Are you trying to give us some heart attacks?" Bow scolded.

"…Not my fault!"

"Sorry, I flew up here as fast as I could to see what the commotion was all about. I heard little explosions, so I went to see what was up." He explained.

Was I that reckless? Nyx thought with a sweatdrop.

"So, what brings you up here?" Bow asked.

"Well, I had a team with me to go find out the weakness of Tubba Blubba… I'm the lone survivor." He said. "However! We did find out that there is something interesting regarding his weakness. You'll find it in Tubba Blubba's room… but, if you run into him before finding out the weakness. Just run. Run. You can't win against him. But you didn't hear it from me." He said and disappeared.

"Well, that was nice information." Mario said as they nodded and walked deeper into the mansion with their guards up… and when they got into a certain hallway.

"*Sniff* I smell Boos." Tubba Blubba said.

"Uh oh!" Bow said as she quickly hid them as Tubba Blubba walked toward them.

"Hmm… I wonder if they're outside!" He said and walked out of the hallway.

"Quick, to his room!" Henry said… and in the blink of an eye, Ruby was at the other side after using her semblance.

"...No fair! We're not as fast as you are!" Keaton said as they caught up to her as they wandered into his room where they noticed a treasure chest in the other side of the bed.

"That bed looks comfortable to lay in." Kamui said.

"Sure, if you don't mind being crushed by a giant." Luigi said as they gathered around at the other side… and Tubba Blubba walked back in.

"Mmm… I'm tired! I'll terrorize more Boos after a nap." He said and then instantly fell asleep.

"Wow… and I thought I was a heavy sleeper." Keaton said as they opened the chest to reveal… a sentient key in a way.

"Hello!" The key spoke.

"…Oh joy, talking keys… why am I not surprised…" Weiss groaned.

"The name's Yakkey! And if I didn't know any better, you're looking for the weakness of Tubba Blubba, correct? Well, too bad, I'm not going to let you in Windy Mill!"

"Aha! So his weakness is in Windy Mill!" Bow exclaimed.

"…Crud." Yakkey said. "HEEEEEEEEEEEELP! I'M BEING STOLEN!"

End BGM

"Mmm… wha…?" Tubba Blubba woke up in a daze. "…Five more minutes, mom…"

"HELP! HELP! I'M BEING KIDNAPPED!"

"OH, PUT A SOCK IN IT!" Yang yelled, grabbing Yakkey by the throat… well, if he had one.

"Ack! Can't… breathe!"

"Come on, let's-a go!" Mario said as they quickly walked out of the room and as they were in the middle of the hallway… Tubba Blubba came out angrily.

"HEY! STOP, THIEVES!" Tubba Blubba yelled, quickly punching the ground angrily as the whole castle started to rumble.

BGM: The Castle Crumbles (Paper Mario)

"Uh oh!" Luigi exclaimed.

"Come on, we need to hurry!" Kamui said as they quickly took off… but when they got in the foyer, Tubba Blubba punched the ground again, causing the bridge to fall and have them fall to the bottom floor.

"…Well, that's one way to get out of here!" Ruby said as they took off… where a bunch of Boos showed up.

"Alright, we've had enough of this! Let's take care of Tubba Blubba once and for all!" A Boo declared.

"YEAH!" The rest yelled… and then the gang ran out and ran right past them.

"Huh? What? Huh?" The Boo wondered before realizing something. "…Uh oh. HOLD THE DOOR!" He yelled as they quickly attached themselves to the door to prevent Tubba Blubba from escaping.

"Argh! Why won't these stupid doors open?! …I smell Boos!"

"Those brave Boos…" Bow said as she looked back before taking off as they quickly got to Windy Mill and Yang looked at Yakkey.

"Open this up!"

"You can't make me!"

"Open it RIGHT now or I am bending you in half!"

"I'd love to see you try, woman!" Yakkey said… and then Yang started to bend him. "OW OW OW OW! Okay, I'll do it!" He said as he unwillingly unlocked the Windy Mill as he hopped away from them as they quickly ran in and hopped into a hole. They ran through some long hallways until eventually… they came across a heart.

End BGM

"What in the…" Weiss said in bewilderment. "A heart?"

"What's a heart doing here?" Nyx wondered.

"Oi! What are you doing here?" The heart asked.

"And the heart talks… great." Weiss sighed.

"Wait a minute… are you by chance, Tubba Blubba's weakness?" Kamui asked.

"What? Noooo, I'm not a weakness at all… did that slimy little key tell you? I'll have to throttle him! Why don't we just take a nice break, have some tea and-" He noticed them taking out their weapons. "…Okay, fine, I AM the weakness. I am Tubba Blubba!"

"So wait, you're the real Tubba Blubba?" Blake asked.

"That's right! I'm pulling the strings on that puppet!" Tubba Blubba's Heart said. "And boy oh boy, once I pulled myself out of that body, I've never felt more alive. In fact, eating Boos makes me feel more alive! And oh look, there's a Boo right there! I'll gladly eat you alive once I'm through with you."

"For the sake of my fellow Boos, we'll put a stop to you!" Bow declared.

"Oh ho ho ho, we'll see about that." He said as they got ready for battle.

BGM: Ghost Gulping (Paper Mario)

"Hup! Coming through!" The heart hopped off of its stump and tried to tackle them, but Mario hammered him away while Ruby, Nyx and Yang fired back as a counter while Bow went over and slapped him repeatedly.

"Hey Goombario! Do you have a good read on this guy?" Luigi asked.

"Let me check!" Goombario said as he hopped out and looked through his tattle log. "Let's see… ah, he's got 50 HP, an attack power of 6 and no defense. He's got a powerful charge attack that will do a lot of damage. But other than that-"

"I guess you can say this is the "heart" of Tubba's secret." Nyx said.

"Aw, no fair, I was gonna say that." Yang said.

"That pun was bad and you should feel bad for saying such a thing!" The heart exclaimed, as he went over to tackle Nyx for that pun, but Henry got in the way and sent his crows after him to peck at him repeatedly.

"Elfire!" Henry exclaimed.

"YOW OW OW OW!"

"What, to hot for you to handle?" Henry asked.

"Let's not get all hot under the collar!" Yang grinned.

"That's what I call heart burn." Nyx chuckled.

"…Okay, this is just terrible. See ya." Goombario said, hopping back in Mario's outfit.

"No! Take me with you!" Weiss pleaded. "Ugh!" She turned around to the heart and twirled Myrtenaster's Dust chamber and aimed at him as she hit him with an electrifying thunderbolt.

"Oh, how shocking." Henry said.

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!" Weiss yelled and glared at Nyx and Yang. "That goes for the two of you as well!" She said as Ruby slashed the heart a few times as Keaton went over and slashed him with his claws before punching him.

"Grrr… I'm just going to charge up…" He growled and charged up, and then unleashed an attack of mini hearts swarming Kamui, but she quickly countered, turning into her dragon form and slamming her feet down to send the swarm away, and it even hit the heart, sending him to a wall where Luigi jumped up and hammered it down… but the heart didn't give up. It quickly tried to tackle Kamui, but she quickly impaled the heart by manipulating her arm to turn it into a lance and then kicked him up in the air where Yang jumped up and punched him down.

"I see you got the point." Yang smirked.

"…I CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE!" The heart yelled. "The puns are just terrible!" He exclaimed and quickly ran away.

"Oh come on, we have plenty more!" Yang laughed as they ran after the heart and saying one pun after the other that even made Kamui groan.

"SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UUUUUP!" The Heart yelled as he jumped on a spring board as they did the same… and then they saw Tubba Blubba.

"Oh! It's my heart." Tubba Blubba said.

"Yes! We shall reunite and tear them to pieces!" The heart said and then was gobbled up.

"Well, he's reunited with his weakness, let's take him down!" Yang said as Tubba Blubba tried to punch them, but unfortunately for him, they proceeded to quickly defeat him easily.

"Hold on… why is he taking so much damage in this form?" Goombario wondered as he had peeked out and used Tattle on him. "Ooooh, he only has 10 HP."

"That is just embarrassing." Bombette said.

"OW! OOOOOW! UNCLE! UUUUNCLE!" He cried as they quickly pulled away from the big brute.

End BGM

"Man… that was it?" Yang asked as Tubba Blubba got back up, but to their surprise, he started tearing up.

"I guess I had forgotten I was no longer invincible…" He sobbed. "I only took out my weakness because of my loyalty to Bowser and… and… I'm so sorry for what I've done! I'll release all the Boos I've eaten!" He said and proceeded to do so as all the Boos flew out happy, declaring "FREEDOOOOM!"

"Hmph! It's a good thing they're back." Bow said… and just like that, Tubba Blubba started crying uncontrollably and then ran off.

"...Is it me or did hurting him feel a bit wrong all of a sudden?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, I'm not alone here." Kamui said.

"Phew…" Luigi sighed.

"Gwah ha ha ha!" Bow laughed. "It's a success that we beat him! Hehehe, oh, how we loved to torture the guy by scaring him a lot!" She grinned, causing them to sweatdrop.

"Okay… I can see why you don't like them." Weiss said.

"Thank you!" Nyx exclaimed.

"Oh… that's all in the past now." Bow said. "…You know, I've had a lot of fun in this thrilling little adventure. If you don't mind, I'd love to accompany you on this journey some more."

"Sure, welcome aboard." Mario said.

"Aww, thank you… and in return… Bootler!" Bow called out as Bootler appeared with the Skolar card.

"Here you are, Lady Bow." Bootler said.

"Great. Now let's do this!" Bow said with a grin as they walked towards the card.

Meanwhile…

Bowser's Theme (Mario and Luigi: Dream Team)

"Please tell me I did NOT just hear that right!" Bowser growled.

Kammy sighed. "You heard it for like five times now. They took down Tubba Blubba."

"That doesn't make any sense!" Roman said. "How does someone defeat someone who doesn't have a weakness?"

"That's what I want to know!" Bowser exclaimed. "Those rotten teenagers and Mario Bros are really something… and if I'm hearing this right, that Nyx girl is with them too?"

"Yes." Kammy nodded.

"Ugh… well, we gotta do something about this." Bowser said and thought of something. "Weakness… hmm, what exactly are their weakness?" He wondered, rubbing his chin in thought… and right on cue, the wall started turning around to reveal Peach, Twink and Tiki.

"…Well well well, what do we have here?" Roman asked as Bowser turned to see them.

"Oh! This isn't the way to the bathroom!" Peach lied. "Um… wrong turn!"

"I told you were going the wrong way." Tiki said as they hit the button… but Bowser quickly stopped the wall from turning around again.

"This is actually perfect!" Bowser smirked. "Peach, I'd like to ask you something."

"What is it?" Peach asked with folded arms.

"What exactly is Mario's weakness?" Bowser asked.

Peach raised an eyebrow. "Why are you asking me?"

"I want to see him shake through his bones in terror!" Bowser chuckled devilishly. "Now tell me… what is Mario's weakness?"

Peach smirked. Oh, I'm going to have fun with this. She thought. "Pasta."

"Pasta? I thought he loved it." Roman asked.

"Nope! Just last week, he boycotted pasta because it exploded on him through a prank. He though the pasta was nothing more than a bomb and he felt like if he ate it, he would've exploded." She lied.

"Huh… the more you know." Bowser said. "Now, how about green 'stache?"

"He hates flowers with a passion. He doesn't trust them."

"Huh! Just when I thought it couldn't get even more embarrassing for him."

"Alright, how about the red head?" Roman asked.

"Ruby? She's afraid of chocolate chip cookies. She had a dream once where the cookies ate her."

"I see… I get to torment her with that. Excellent." Roman smirked.

Wait a second here… Neo thought, rubbing her chin in suspicion… as Kammy had the same thought.

"Now, what about the snowflake?" Bowser asked.

"She hates ice."

"Well! That's good to know… and how about the cat?"

"Fish."

"Uh-huh! And the blonde?"

"Punching bags."

"She's afraid of-" Roman blinked. "Huh! No wonder Neo took her down easily…" He mused. However, Neo thought this was absolute bullshit.

"What about Nyx?" Bowser asked.

"Arrows."

"Well then! Just one more question. How about miss dragon girl?" Bowser asked.

"Family." Peach smirked

"She's afraid of…" Bowser blinked. "I see, I see! Hehehe… excellent."

"Now now, just hold up a second!" Kammy said. "Young princess, how do we believe that you're not lying?"

"Oh please, would this princess ever tell you bullshit?" Peach asked.

"Oh goodness! We've pissed her off that she's been starting to curse in an E rated environment. GUARDS! Make sure Peach's room is more comfortable so she's not totally mad at us!" Bowser ordered. "Kammy, time for you to make them quake in their boots."

"But sire… are you sure-"

"DO IT! Deliver that to General Guy!"

"…Yes sire." Kammy said and flew off.

They bought it?! Tiki, Twink and Neo thought all together.

Heh, didn't think I had it in me. Peach thought.

"Now, off with you! Back to your room!" He ordered. "I'd do it myself, but I don't want you to be cussing up a storm." He said. "Starting to think Daisy's a bad influence."

Oh, SHE'S not the bad influence here… Peach thought, glaring hard at Bowser and Roman as she wandered off to her room. "Come on, you two."

"Right." Tiki nodded as Twink followed after them both, with Neo facepalming at the two for listening to those lies as she tried to get them to notice her signs that Peach was spouting bullshit… but they ignored her, much to her chagrin.

End BGM

Back on Earth…

BGM: Star Spirits Request (Paper Mario)

"Thank you all." Skolar said. "I appreciate your efforts on putting a stop to Tubba Blubba."

"You're welcome." Kamui smiled.

"And now, I must be off to Star Haven. Farewell." He said and took off, but not before giving them the power of Starstorm.

End BGM

"Let's go." Ruby said as they nodded and walked off back into the Forever Forest.

"So, Nyx… what are you going to do now?" Yang asked. "You can hang with us for a while and-"

"I'm good." Nyx said. "As much as I want to… I need some time to myself." She said. "After what happened earlier… I'm just not really eager to going on another adventure right now…"

Blake had a sad but knowing smile. "Take all the time you need. We'll be here… when we're not somewhere else."

Nyx nodded. "Yeah."

"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" A voice screamed as they turned to see Jr. Troopa running toward them. "Oh, thank goodness, it's you guys! I'm glad to see familiar faces in this dark and creepy… hey, wait a minute!" He growled and jumped back. "Don't think I'm going all buddy-buddy on you!" He said. "I'm going to make you pay for last time!"

"And how are you going to do that?" Kamui asked.

"Simple!" Jr. Troopa sprouted bat wings with a smirk. "With my new moves, I can easily take you down!"

"Well… since we're battling here. Let's do this!" Keaton said and transformed into his werewolf form, and Jr. Troopa's eyes widened in horror.

"M-M-M-M-MOOOOONSTEEEEEEEEEER! AIYEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Jr. Troopa screamed as he took off flying and screaming.

"Monster? Where?" Keaton asked as he turned back to normal. "Geez, what's his problem?" He asked as they walked back to the Mushroom Kingdom.

As soon as they got back into the area, they saw Jr. Troopa running. "I am never stepping foot in that place again!" He said and took off again.

"If you'll excuse me, I'll be heading off somewhere." Henry said.

"Where are you heading off to?" Ruby asked.

"Oh, terrorize some simply folk. The usual stuff. I might go terrorize the Smash Mansion and say hi!" He chuckled and walked off.

"You do that…" Luigi shuddered.

"I'm gonna go find something to eat. Later!" Keaton said and walked off.

"Well, it seems like it's just us." Kamui said as RWBY and the Mario Bros hugged Nyx.

"Take care, alright?" Blake asked.

"I will." Nyx nodded. "I'm just gonna go back home, maybe read a book or just rest with the Black Yoshi." She said and started to walk off.

"Hey Nyx." Bow floated to her as she turned around. "Don't be a stranger." She said and extending her arm out to her for a third.

"…Likewise…" Nyx quietly said as she walked off.

"*sigh* One day." Bow quietly said as they walked around Toad Town without saying a word… until…

"HEEEELP! THIEF!" A voice cried as they saw a Shy Guy running off with something and then Anna was chasing him… until she stopped to catch her breath. "Man… he's fast!"

BGM: Shy Guy Riot (Paper Mario)

"What's up?" Luigi asked.

"Oh, just like five minutes ago, these Shy Guys kept popping up everywhere and started stealing things!" Anna complained.

"Oh geez… that's bad." Mario said.

"We're on it!" Ruby said as they quickly took off after the Shy Guy… only to realize there's a bunch more and they were heading off somewhere.

"Hey! Stop!" A voice called out as they turned to see a boy with silver hair and in armor running toward them before stopping to catch his breath. "Man… those Shy Guys like to run fast."

"Oh, hi Silas!" Kamui greeted.

"Ah, Kamui!" Silas perked up. "Nice to see you again, and the same goes to the Mario Bros… and… this is…"

"RWBY." Kamui said. "Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long. Girls, this is Silas. A good friend of mine."

"Hello." Silas said as Ruby slowly walked up to him. "Oh… what seems to be the problem?"

"I can't help but notice you sound exactly like my boyfriend…" Ruby said.

"Your boyfriend?" Silas asked.

"Pit."

"Oh! Yeah, I get that a lot."

"…You wouldn't happen to have stolen his soul, would you?"

"What? I would never-"

Ruby grabbed a hold of his mouth, pried it open and peeked in. "Hey Pit! If you can hear me, say something! If not, I'm coming in there!"

Silas managed to pry her off. "I assure you that I didn't eat Pit to begin with. Besides, I don't think angels taste good."

"But…"

"If it makes you feel any better, we were caught off-guard by Silas' voice when we were introduced to him." Mario said. "Kirby and Toon Link had the same reaction as you did."

"Oh…" Ruby walked back with a blush. "Sorry."

Silas chuckled. "It's alright." He said.

"Stop, you evildoers!" Another voice said. "In the name of Radiant Dawn, I spring into action! Fear me! I am Odin Dark!" A voice yelled and landed near the gang. "Now where are you?!"

"…Odin, you're a little late." Silas said.

"Oh come on, can't I make my epic introduction in this story?" Odin asked as he turned to the others. "And who are these lovely girls?" He asked as Silas and Kamui introduced them to her. "Ah… and what are your weapons? I'm just curious!"

"Crescent Rose."

"Myrtenaster."

"Gambol Shroud."

"Ember Celicia… why?" Yang asked.

"Oh, no reason!" Odin said as he was writing it down. "Just thinking of epic entrances!" He said as they all sweatdropped.

"Yeah… he's a bit… out there." Kamui said.

"Ya think?!" RWBY and Bow exclaimed at once.

"Oh! By the way, I discovered their hidden entrance!" Odin said.

"Oh, you did?" Silas asked.

"Yes, it's this way!" Odin said as he took off as the others followed him into a building, where they saw an empty room.

"…It's an empty room." Weiss said.

"Ah, but it's more than that!" Odin said as he walked to the wall and opened a secret door. "Perks of spying on them through the window!"

"Nice." Silas grinned as they looked to see a box with a spring next to them.

"Are we going in there?" Weiss asked.

"Yes, indeed!" Odin said. "Ice queens first!"

"What?! I'm too big for that!"

"Suit yourself!" Odin said and casually pushed her on it as she bounced right into the box.

"AAAAAAAAH!" Weiss screamed.

"What the?!" Luigi exclaimed as Odin proceeded to do the same.

"SHADOW DRAGON… AWAAAAAAAY!" Odin yelled as he fell into the box as they all looked at each other, shrugged and then hopped on into the box, not knowing what the hell they're getting themselves into.

Warning: Scheming with the King of Awesomeness will make you 100% more stupider.

At least Neo didn't get stupid at least!

Also, for those who aren't in the know: Antony Del Rio, the guy that voices the knuckleheaded angel and Sir Sourpuss Dark Angel, also voices Silas... and Percy, AKA Effie and Arthur's child.

So yay, golden opportunities!
