"So that's where you went!" Lissa said as they were in the hospital room, with Tiki on the hospital bed. "You went with RWBY to go find the Star Spirit!"

"Yup." Robin said. "Though I have to ask, why weren't you two at the party?"

Lissa sweatdropped. "Why don't you ask Sir Doesn't-Read-a-Map-a lot."

"I thought I knew where we were going!" Chrom said, as Robin sweatdropped at this.

"Well, luckily we ran into RWBY and Mario KO'd on the ground and were near the Goomba village!" Lissa smiled.

"You did miss the festivities though." Lyn pointed out.

"I know, it's all Chrom's fault."

"I'm sorry, who was the one who was screaming about all the "gross" bugs every five minutes and hiding in bushes?"

"Hey! I've heard horror stories on those Beautifly! Why must it be so cute but so deadly?!" Lissa complained as they sweatdropped at this.

"Wow…" Kamui whispered.

It was at this moment that they heard footsteps to see Frederick walking in with Camilla. "We saw the explosion and saw you dragging away miss Tiki." Frederick said.

"Is everything alright?" Camilla wondered.

"She's not responding." Robin said. "But she is stable."

"That's good." Frederick smiled, and then the White Wings showed up.

"We saw what happened, is anyone okay?" Est asked.

"Yeah, we're fine." Ruby said, and then pretty soon, all the Fire Emblem gang who joined them on their adventure came to the hospital to see if they were alright.

"…Wait a minute, Owain?" Chrom looked at him in surprise. "Where have you been?"

"Well, see… that's a funny story but uh… I might need Inigo and Severa for this."

"That would be a good idea, since we do need an explanation on why the three of you disappeared. Lucina and your mothers have been worried sick about you." Frederick said.

"Or, you know… fainting from surprise…" Lissa grumbled.

"What makes you say that?" Chrom asked.

"My son got married to Princess Elise, had a daughter and surprise, I'm a grandmother before I became of age!"

"Oh, that's ni- WAIT, WHAT?!"

"Mhm."

"And you didn't bother telling us?!" Chrom grabbed Owain's shoulders and violently shook him. "I could've been your best man to that wedding!"

"And I would've been second best man!" Frederick said.

"…I'm not sure if a second best man is a thing…" Chrom said as Owain sweatdropped at this.

"Well, at least more people know about our marriage!" Elise giggled.

"Oooogh…" Tiki groaned as she was coming around as they all surrounded her. "Wh-what…?"

"Hey, that was quite the nasty fall you took." Robin said.

"Nngh… yeah…" Tiki groaned and then remembered something and gasped. "Peach!"

"Peach? Is she alright?" Mario asked with concern.

"Yes… but she's been taken away by Bowser and that Torchwick guy! I don't know what they were planning on doing, but Peach told me to come get you guys… and then I was shot out of the sky." Tiki said.

"Well, glad that you're alright." Sakura smiled.

"But… there's something else that you should know." Tiki said. "Do any of you know someone named Ryoma and Xander?"

"Yeah, we know them." Kamui said.

"Why? What's wrong?" Camilla asked.

"They… they were locked up in a cell in Bowser's Castle."

Elise gasped. "Xander's been kidnapped?!"

"R-Ryoma too?!" Sakura exclaimed in shock.

A dark aura surrounded Camilla. "So you mean to tell me… that my darling brother has been locked up by Bowser…"

"C-Camilla?" Kamui asked while paling a little.

"If he lays one finger on my brother… HE'S GOING TO PAY WITH HIS BLOOD!"

"Yay, blood!" Henry cheered… and then Camilla stormed out, but due to her anger, it attracted a few Beowolves into Toad Town, as all the residents screamed and went into their homes… but they were mainly interested in Camilla.

BGM: Night of Fate (Kingdom Hearts)

"Out of my way, you filthy vermin." She said coldly, holding her axe fiercely while one of the Beowolves licked its chops before it lunged at her as she got ready to attack… until a tree suddenly popped up and the Beowolf was launched in the air.

"Contemptible vermin." A voice said as Leo walked into the scene, holding a tome in his hands as the Beowolf disappeared, but the other Beowolf wasn't fazed by this and attempted to lunge to Camilla… but it was suddenly impaled by a spear, and a familiar cotton candy girl was on top of it.

End BGM

"Yay, another dead creature!" Peri grinned happily… and then the Beowolf disappeared. "…Aww…" She pouted.

"You alright?" Leo asked, as they saw Hinoka coming in with her retainers.

"Aww, we missed the fun." Hinoka sighed.

"What's the point of having fun if they just keep showing up?" A voice asked as they turned to see Saizo arriving with Kagero… and then Takumi came in with his retainers.

"Oh, isn't this just a convenient spot to group up." Takumi said. "Seriously, we heard the screaming and came over here."

"What's with all the commotion?" Oboro wondered.

"And why is my sister seriously angry?" Leo asked.

"I've heard from that dragon girl, Tiki… that Ryoma and Xander were kidnapped by Bowser."

BGM: Fifth Laboratory (Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)

"WHAT?!" They all yelled.

"My Lord Xander…" Peri whispered and then growled angrily. "Oh, I am so going to make me a Koopa-kabob!"

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go destroy Bowser." Takumi said. "I've just so conveniently have an arrow with his name on it."

"Indeed. Let us go take on Bowser." Saizo said.

End BGM

"Hold it!" Yang said. "We gotta get to Star Haven before we can get to Bowser's Castle. It's actually on the way to it."

"Well, as long as it doesn't take too much time." Leo said.

Chrom was the first to walk up. "Now, I don't know about all of you, but I'm going to go save Peach, Ryoma and Xander while teaching Bowser his place, and aside from RWBY, the Mario Bros and Kamui, I'm going. How about you?"

BGM: Fire Emblem Theme (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)

"I'm going, without a doubt!" Lissa said.

"Count us in!" Est grinned with Palla and Catria nodding.

"We will go too." Frederick said as Camilla readied her axe as Beruka and Severa came up with their weapons.

"I'm in for the blood!" Henry said.

"…I'm in, but not for the blood." Keaton said.

"I will go as well. They need saving." Silas said.

"FOR LORD XANDER AND THE OTHERS!" Owain yelled, raising his sword, earning a chuckle from Niles.

"Appears we have no choice." Niles said as Leo rolled his eyes but did chuckle.

"Come on, let's go save our brothers!" Elise said as Sakura nodded.

"Count me in." Hinoka said with a grin as Effie, Arthur, Hana and Subaki all nodded with a smile, and so did her retainers as well.

"I'm coming too!" Cynthia cheered.

"Right!" Sumia nodded.

Robin readied his tome and Lyn unsheathed her sword. "Well, let's go out." Robin said.

"Hang on, Lord Xander! We're coming… with blood on our hands!" Peri grinned while Inigo sweatdropped.

"Uh.. right."

"Hmph, I'm not one to do a cheer… but I will go." Saizo said.

"I will too." Kagero said.

"If Lord Takumi is going, then I'm going!" Oboro declared.

Hinata sweatdropped. "He would've taken us with him anyway."

"I'm going too!" A voice said as they turned to see Nyx walking up to them with her crossbow in her hands. "If… that's alright with you."

"The more the merrier." Chrom said.

Nyx walked up to RWBY and smiled at them. "Well, what are we waiting for?" She asked. "Let's go kick Bowser's ass again!"

"Right behind you!" Yang smirked.

"Ahem." A voice caught her attention as she turned to see Bow floating there. "I believe something must be done first."

Nyx clenched her fists and took a deep breath… and then dropped her crossbow and suddenly hugged Bow. "I hope you can forgive me for what I tried to do to you…"

Bow softly smiled. "Of course I do… will you forgive me?"

"I'm… working on it."

"Close enough!" Bow chuckled as Nyx picked her crossbow back up.

"And I'm going too." Tiki walked up. "No injury is going to stop me from saving them." She said as she walked over, trying hard not to wince from the pain, but Elise noticed this and healed her right up. "Thanks."

"No prob!"

"Alright, let's-a go!" Mario said.

"SHUP!" Shuppet cheered, coming out of Luigi's hat.

"YEAH!" Everyone yelled as they quickly ran off with Mario taking the lead as they ran toward Star Hill.

BGM: Shooting Star Summit (Paper Mario)

"Mario and friends… use this to go up to Star Haven!" Eldstar requested as a Star Road appeared before them as they quickly went up Star Way, with some Embers spotting them and attacking them, but Nyx and Takumi easily took care of them until they soon arrived at Star Haven.

BGM: A City in the Stars (Paper Mario)

"Wow… this place looks amazing." Kamui said.

"Oh, I should've bought one of those things that flash!" Elise said. "…What do you call those again? They go 'click!' and you smile."

"A camera." Robin replied.

"Thank you!"

"Hmm, I wonder if you can throw stars at people from up here." Azama mused.

"Oooh, shooting stars at people! I like that!" Henry grinned.

"Oh! Oh! Shooting stars at Goombas!" Yang added.

"No! Shooting stars at Grimm!" Nyx grinned.

"Oh, that's a good one!" Henry said, as they high fived.

Three pun users and two dolts… welcome to my nightmare. Weiss groaned.

"Did she just say 'shooting stars at Goombas'?" Goombario asked within Mario's pocket.

"Probably not meant to you… I think." Bombette said.

"Excuse me!" Peri said as she was in a shop. "Do you happen to have killing weapons here?"

"Eh?" A Star Child looked at her weirdly. "By killing weapons, we do have Shooting Star." He said, pointing to it on the shelf as Peri examined it, as she put her lance out and then grabbed the Shooting Star… and impaled it with the blade. "ACK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Hmm…" Peri rubbed her chin in thought as she did a few stabbing moves. "I like this!" She said and then felt the tip of the Shooting Star. "…Aww… it's not pointy enough." She pouted, throwing the Shooting Star away. "Do you happen to have any lances here?"

"I do not!"

"Then what kind of shop is this?"

"Oh good grief, come here you!" Oboro said, dragging Peri out.

"Whoa!"

"I'll never understand you Nohrians and your lust for blood…"

"Blood?! Where?!"

"NOT WHAT I MEANT!"

"Is she… normally like this?" Blake asked Leo.

"Yes… and she's Xander's retainer. She means well, but… mention blood and she goes insane. Not to mention that she has a lust for killing things. Best not to get in her way if she's in the possession of a sharp weapon."

"…Good to know."

"Ah, that could be it." Chrom said, looking at a dome shaped building.

"It should be." Mario nodded as they walked in to see the seven Star Spirits.

End BGM

BGM: Star Spirits' Request (Paper Mario)

"Mario and friends… we thank you for saving us all. But now Peach and the others need saving and Bowser needs to be stopped and save the Star Rod." Eldstar said. "We will give you a gift to you to go to Bowser's Castle." He said and then something emerged from thin air. "It is the Legendary Star Ship. You can use this to get into Bowser's Castle."

"Uh… there's like a lot of us and only one ship… and it's small." Ruby said. "What do you expect us to do, push ourselves together and act like an accordion?"

"Mmph… that's making me feel uncomfortable…" Lissa said.

"…Have I mentioned I get claustrophobic?" Luigi asked.

"You're not claustrophobic." Mario told him.

"Worth a shot." He sighed.

"I wouldn't mind pushing up against Lord Takumi." Oboro said with a sly grin, while Takumi sweatdropped and blushed madly.

"Um… how about we do something else…?" He asked.

"It actually looks bigger on the inside than it does on the outside, though I suppose you can use other modes of transportation, but humor us and some of you get on that Star Ship for us." Misstar requested.

"We do have our own rides of transportation!" Ruby grinned and with a deep breath… "COME, WARP STAR!" She yelled… but nothing. "Eh?"

"Uh, did Palutena tell you that she put an app in our scrolls that'll let us summon our Stars wherever we are?" Yang asked.

"Whoops, my bad!" Ruby giggled as they pulled out their scrolls and pressed a button, and all the way from Beacon, in RWBY's room, two stars from underneath the two beds came out, which were their own personal air rides and flew off to Star Haven before landing near them.

"Whoa, sweet!" Elise exclaimed as she checked them out.

"I was aware you had them… but I didn't think they'd actually look so cool looking." Robin said as they checked them out before RWBY got on them, then Tiki transformed into her Dragon form and some of them got on her, then some of them hopped on the White Wing's Pegasi, along with a few getting on Subaki's and Hinoka's Pegasi while some getting on Camilla and Beruka's Wyverns.

The ones who got on the Star Ship were Chrom, Lissa, Owain and Takumi. "How come you're joining us?" Lissa asked.

"Don't get me wrong, I like Oboro… it's just that she can be a bit… what's the word…"

"Clingy?" Owain suggested.

"No, that's not it."

"Overbearing at times?" Chrom asked.

"Yeah, that's probably it." Takumi said. "I don't get it, one day we were just good friends… and then as soon as Peach held the ceremony, she's been… acting weird."

Lissa smiled. "Maybe she likes you!"

"…That's a funny way of showing it." Takumi quietly said.

"Oh! Before we forget, there is another gift we must bestow upon you." Eldstar said as a light shined over them. "You can now use Star Beam. It will help take care of Bowser's invulnerability." He said.

"Right, thanks." Ruby said with a grin as they all went up and took off.

BGM: The Legendary Air Ride Machine (Super Smash Bros Brawl)

"Wooooow! This is going pretty faaaaast!" Lissa exclaimed.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to let you fall off of this!" Chrom said as they were headed toward Bowser's Castle.

"I see it!" Kamui said, who decided to be on Hinoka's Pegasus.

"Now let's go there!" Ruby said as they picked up the pace… and as they did, a cannon aimed at them and fired another King Bill toward them.

"Whoa! King Bill incoming!" Mario exclaimed, who was on Tiki as Tiki quickly flew out of the way in time, but as expected, the King Bill turned around and went toward them.

"They home in on you?!" Weiss exclaimed.

"Not for long!" Takumi said, pulling out his bow and firing arrows at the King Bill, but none were leaving a dent on the King Bill. "Grrr… die already!" He yelled, firing a critical arrow at it, and it pierced through the King Bill and exploded. "Gotcha."

"Oh, so crits can take them down? Neat." Owain said as they flew closer to the entrance before they stopped and landed near the entrance.

End BGM

"Alright, everyone here and accounted for?" Mario asked as they all nodded. "Alright… now let's-a move out!"

"Right behind you!" Yang exclaimed as they ran in.

BGM: March to Deliverance (Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia)

"Ack! Mario and the others are here!" A Koopatrol exclaimed.

"Sound the alarm, hurry!" Another said.

"Right!" The Koopatrol went to reach for it, but Ruby quickly got in the way with her semblance.

"Hiya!" She waved and then pushed them back with her Ruby Palm, and then Yang punched them high into the sky before they fell unconscious. The group quickly moved on to another room where two Koopatrols were chatting things up and then spotted the gang.

"Uh oh!"

"Protect the key!" The other ordered as they went to attack, but Chrom and Frederick got in the way and slashed them away while one of them dropped the key as Chrom took it.

"Thank you." He said as they went inside the castle and went into a hallway where the Koopatrols attacked them, but they were quickly defeated as they kept going where Peri had a fun time impaling the Hammer Bros with her lance and then attempted to kill them… hadn't Kamui stepped in and dragged her away from the Hammer Bros… but that didn't stop Camilla from kicking them to a wall and they went into another room.

"Whoa!" A Bowser wall exclaimed. "You must be Mario, Luigi, and… well.. everyone else! Come to rescue Peach? Well, I'll let you pass. Just stand in front of me." He ordered.

"Why should we? It's probably a trap where we'll end up in a jail cell." Leo said. "Now, let us through."

"Hmph! How would you know I would do such a thing? I'm a nice guy."

"And I'm a guy that can tree you if you waste time on us."

"…You know what? I'll let you through."

"Thank you." Leo said… and then the floor opened up underneath them.

"I moved the trap! Bwahahahaha!"

"…Oh, you ungrateful-" They all fell into the floor below… but luckily, they gently fell to the ground.

"Phew! Good thing we're made out of paper. Otherwise, that'd hurt!" Elise said.

"Mmph… easy for you to say…" Arthur groaned as he, for some reason, fell like a rock.

"Oh goodness! Are you okay?"

"Ha! Just a lump on the head!" Arthur got back up with a smile.

"Bwahahaha! Have fun rotting down there!"

"So… what are you guys in for?" A Toad asked.

"They could've let down a bear trap for me to sit on…" Setsuna said.

"Will you knock it off!" Hinoka yelled.

"Grr… how could we have fallen for such a thing?!" Chrom asked, punching a wall in frustration. "We're better than… that…" He blinked, as his punch created a massive hole in the wall. "…Huh. I found our escape!"

"You sure have a knack for breaking things." Lissa teased.

"Do not!"

"Hiyah!" Camilla let out a yell and destroyed the bars to the cell.

"Freedooooooooooom!" A Toad cried as they all escaped while the others went through the hole in a wall and then realized the whole place was covered with lava… and thus, they traversed the area while using Tiki and the Pegasi until they eventually reached the end where three Koopatrols and a Magikoopa were waiting for them.

"Yipe! This is bad!"

"What do we do?!"

"Uh… panic! Panic is what we'll do!"

"Relax!" The Magikoopa said. "I can power you up. It's just one little army, how bad can they-" A massive fireball hit him squarely in the head to send him into the lava. "BEEEEEEEEEEEE!" He yelled before hitting the lava.

"What a fiery end!" Henry laughed while Yang punched the Koopatrols away before hitting the switch to stop the lava from flowing and then it hardened.

"That's too bad… I was hoping I would've touched the lava to see how hot it actually was." Setsuna said.

"Yes, you could've taken a nice hot bath in it. It'll make you squeaky clean!" Azama said.

"Really?!"

"…You two have issues." Hana said.

Welcome to my world. Hinoka thought as they went through the now totally safe hardened lava as they soon found a key for the door nearby to unlock.

"Why waste our time on keys? We got Chrom!" Lissa said. "After all, he destroys rocks for a living!"

"…You're never going to let me live that down, are you?" Chrom sighed as they unlocked the door and went into a room where it was a dark cave. Luckily, Watt came out and lit the way for them as they traversed through while taking care of some Bony Beetles until they eventually reached the end where Effie pushed a rock to reveal a door and as they did… they were right back where they were with the Bowser Door.

"WHAT?! How are you back here alive?!"

"With the power of teamwork! …And Chrom." Ruby said, causing Chrom to sweatdrop at this.

"What she said. Now… let us through." Leo ordered, bringing out Brynhildr. "Or else."

"Alright, alright! Yeesh…" The Bowser Door grumbled as it opened up as they went on through where they went up the stairs… but the White Wings decided to go down the stairs out of curiosity to discover a cell full of Toads and a Koopatrol was guarding the door.

"Huh? Hey!" The Koopatrol growled. "Don't you even try to save these prisoners! I could lock you up too!"

A dark shadow overshadowed Est's eyes. "…Don't you dare…"

"Oh, I will! I can lock you up first, pink head!"

"I'M TIRED OF BEING KIDNAPPED ALL THE TIME!" Est yelled, flying toward the Koopatrol while yelling and beating the crap out of the Koopatrol before he dropped the key… and then Est's Pegasus kicked the Koopatrol away toward a wall.

"…Feel better?" Catria asked.

"Yes, actually!" Est smiled as they unlocked the cell.

"You're free to go." Palla said.

"FREEDOOOOOOOOOOM!" A Toad yelled.

"Don't worry kids, I'm coming home!" Another Toad said and took off.

"Wait a minute! I just realized something!" Elise said. "Who's watching Percy?"

"Azura." Effie said. "She was more than willing to watch him for us while we took off. We had a feeling we'd come and defeat Bowser with the others."

"Oh, cool!" Elise grinned as they went into another room where they saw another locked door.

"I wonder if we can use those chains for something." Nyx wondered, looking at the chains hooked to the ceiling.

"Perhaps it's a trigger that'll flood the entire room with water." Yang said.

"Or lava!" Henry said.

"Or delicious meat!" Keaton exclaimed as they all looked at him. "…What? A wolfskin's gotta eat, ya know."

"Can we go back to the lava part?" Setsuna asked.

"No! Good heavens, no!" Hinoka exclaimed.

"Well, I guess Lady Hinoka is a party pooper." Azama said.

"What?! Don't be ridiculous! I'm great at parties!"

"Riiiiiiight." Azama chuckled as Effie punched the door as they flew off.

"Just call me Lady Chrom!" Effie said.

"…Oh come on! That was one time and you know it!" Chrom complained as they went deeper into the castle where they were bombarded by Bombshell Bills.

"Golden Bullet Bills?" Ruby asked.

"They're called Bombshell Bills." Mario said. "They're pretty rare but they hurt like a truck if you're not careful."

"We have a truck of our own!" Elise smiled. "…Heck, three trucks if you count Chrom and Frederick! Oh, four with Camilla."

"Stand aside!" Effie said, using her shield to block the incoming Bombshell Bills, and when they got close to the Bill Blasters, Chrom and Frederick quickly destroyed them. They went up the hallway where they encountered more Bombshell Bill Blasters, but they were quickly destroyed, Camilla having done a number on them as well before they went into the next area as they went around and tried to figure out the puzzle while taking care of some Dry Bones.

Eventually, they found the way and went into the next area where they saw another Bowser Door. "You guys figured it out, eh? Well… I will let you through… if you can get passed something horrible!"

"And what would that be?" Leo asked with an unamused look.

"Simple. A quiz!"

"…Oh no, a quiz. The horror." Nyx sarcastically said.

"Ack! I didn't study!" Ruby panicked, as Weiss facepalmed.

"Is it a death quiz?" Henry asked.

"Bwahahaha! You'll just have to find ou-" He got treed. "OW!"

"We don't have time for a quiz. Let us through." Leo ordered. "Or the next one will be stronger than a Pine Tree."

"Alright, alright!" The Bowser door opened up, grumbling and mentioning something about 'buzzkills' as they walked on through as they went through an area outside where they took care of more Koopatrols until they walked up some stairs to go back inside.

"…I smell something." Keaton said.

"What is it?" Elise asked.

"I smell… Lobster and Dark Brooding Seriousness in a room."

"Dark brooding seriousness…?" Elise wondered. "What do you mean by that."

"That's… oddly specific." Robin said.

"Oh!" Leo said. "I think he means Ryoma and Xander." He said. "Also, for the record, he doesn't brood and Xander actually means well."

"Riiiiiight… I knew that." Keaton said.

"…Hey, did anyone see a cotton candy haired girl just a second ago?" Severa asked.

"Uh, no? She was right here a second ago." Lyn said.

"AIYEEEEEEEEEEE!"

"…Found her!" Tiki said as they took off to the source as they saw Peri standing on top of a Koopatrol.

End BGM

"Now give me the key to Ryoma and Lord Xander!"

"I'd rather die than give you the key!"

Peri had a twinkle in her eye. "Really?!"

The Koopatrol gulped. "Uh… did I mean die? I mean… uh… I'd rather be brutally maimed!"

"Really?!"

"Uuuuh… I'd rather have all my bones broken?"

"REALLY?!"

It was safe to say that the twinkle in Peri's eye grew to three sizes this day…

"I… uh… I'd rather be knocked out."

"Wrong answer!" Peri said as she raised her lance up in the air, ready to brutally kill the Koopatrol.

"Mother…"

It was at this moment that Gambol Shroud wrapped around Peri and dragged her away from the Koopatrol. "Let's not get too crazy here." Blake said.

"Aww…"

"Phew, thank you! It's not every day that I get saved from some ugly chick. Seriously, who wears black?! That's COMPLETELY tacky!"

Blake's eye narrowed. "…Have at it." She said as she let Peri go.

"YAY!"

"…Crud." The Koopatrol groaned and Peri tackled him to the ground.

"I think the black looks good on you." Oboro smiled.

"Oh, thank you." Blake smiled back.

"Also, I think you look rather cute in it. I don't see anything wrong with it!"

Blake blushed at this. "Thank you…"

"HOW IS THIS RATED E FOR EVERYONE?!" The Koopatrol cried while being brutally stabbed… and about a few seconds later, Peri came back.

"Alright, I got the key!" She said.

"Great… now let's go into the other room." Inigo said.

"Mmm! I smell good in blood!" Peri smiled… and then Sushie came out and washed her off. "Aww… now the feeling's gone…" She pouted as they went into the next room.

"Xander! We've come to save you!" Elise exclaimed.

"And you too, Ryoma!" Sakura smiled.

"…Uh, why are there two KO'd Koopatrols right there?" Luigi wondered.

"They were arguing on which sword is better. The Raijinto or Siegfried." Ryoma explained. "Needless to say, they fought over it and nearly got themselves killed over it. I guess you can say that was our entertainment while we were locked up… as dark as that sounds."

Peri unlocked the cell doors… and immediately, she ran in and glomped Xander. "Oh Lord Xander! I missed you!"

Xander chuckled. "Good to see you too, Peri."

"Why didn't you two get out of the castle when it was being carried to the sky?" Hinoka asked after they hugged, with Kamui coming in for a massive group hug.

"Simple. We noticed that Peach took the Mario Bros and RWBY deep in the castle. We were coming to make sure you were alright and eventually getting out together." Ryoma said. "Our top concern was getting everyone out first. And since you guys didn't come out, we both hurried to make sure if you were okay. Imagine our horror when you were knocked out of the window. We thought it was your end."

"But look, we survived!" Ruby smiled.

Ryoma chuckled. "That is true, you did."

"Out of anger, we attacked Bowser… but his invulnerability with the Star Rod made it impossible to hurt him. It didn't help that Kammy, Torchwick and that ice cream girl were with him. It seemed as if they shared the invulnerability." Xander said. "We were defeated in battle… and then we were locked up."

"But now that we're no longer prisoners." Ryoma walked over and picked up the Raijinto. "I say we return the favor to Bowser."

Xander picked up Siegfried. "I couldn't agree more."

BGM: A Dark Fall (Fire) (Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest)

"Let's go!" Ryoma said as they nodded and ran off as they went into the next corridor.

"Oh crap! The prisoners have escaped!" The Koopatrol exclaimed in horror.

"What do we do?!"

"Uh… Fight! Fight like you mean it!"

"Right!"

Unfortunately for them, Ryoma and Xander made quick work on them as they all ran behind the two as they were now in the front lines and basically destroyed any fool that got in their way. Luckily, some of the Koopa Troop were smart enough to run away and panic, but that was just the minority.

As soon as they came across another corridor, they saw Peach at the other end. "Peach!" Mario exclaimed.

"Mario! Greenie! RWBY! Others! I'm so glad to see you're alright!" Peach smiled… though Ryoma and Xander thought there was something amiss about her.

"Greenie?! …Not funny, Peach." Luigi said.

"How'd you escape?" Ryoma asked suspiciously.

"I escaped when they weren't looking. Come on, let's go!"

"Right!" Ruby nodded… but Affectio popped out of Luigi's hat.

"Shup…" It glared hard at Peach, sensing something amiss.

"Oh, aren't you just a cutie!"

"…Shuppet!" It cried, glaring hard at Peach.

"Why are you mad at me? I didn't do anything wrong."

"Shup…" It activated Shadow Ball. "…PET!" It yelled, unleashing it on Peach.

"YAAAAGH!" She cried… as she suddenly disappeared and in front of them was a Duplighost.

"HUH?!" Everyone yelled… though Ryoma and Xander stayed silent.

"Stupid Pokemon and their animal-like senses!" The Duplighost growled. "How did he know it was a fake!"

"Simple. You called Luigi "greenie"." Ryoma said. "Last I checked, Peach would never call Luigi 'greenie'. You gave yourself away."

"And to top it all off, animals have a knack for figuring out something is wrong, Pokemon included." Xander said.

"Shup!" Affectio smiled proudly.

"Way to go, Affectio!" Luigi smiled.

"Shup!"

"Oooh, you're used to Affectio! I'm so happy!" Elise smiled.

"Now… you can escape with your life… or die fighting us." Ryoma said.

"Hmph! What kind of ultimatum is that?" He asked, whistling as three more came and they transformed into Ryoma, Xander, Mario and Luigi.

The two princes looked at each other before they quickly made mince meat out of the four to destroy them, and then they took off where they encountered another Bowser door.

"So you've made it this far… but I've got one last trick up my sleeve. Can you make it past… THESE FOUR?!" He yelled… and right on cue, the Koopa Bros showed up.

"Yah!" Red yelled. "We're back in this story and this time we'll… hey, why isn't the music changing? This song ain't cool enough for us! Where's our theme song?!"

"This music's epic enough. I don't see the problem." Elise said.

"Indeed, not to mention it is fitting." Xander said.

"Oh… whatever! Let's just take them down!" Green said.

"Yeah, with our special new move that'll floor you."

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIT!" A voice yelled… and then Jr. Troopa came in. "Excuse me, pardon me, coming through, move it!" He said and then screeched to a halt, turning toward the gang. "I'm not done with you yet! You've made a mockery out of me and I WILL put an end to that!"

"Excuse me! We were here first!" Red protested.

"Oh, get in line, Koopa stain! I was their first enemy."

"You're just a little brat! We were their FIRST official enemy!"

"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A BRAT?! I got a few tricks up my sleeve."

"Yeah, probably crying to your mama!" Yellow said.

"Oh, good one!" Black said, high fiving Yellow.

"…WHY YOU!" Jr. Troopa yelled, jumping up and quickly tackling Yellow to the ground… and then it got into a fighting dust cloud.

"No, you don't!" Red said. "Leave Yellow alone!" He yelled as it turned into a huge fighting dust cloud as they all sweatdropped at this.

"…I'm just gonna go ahead and take them all down." Ryoma said as he got into position and glowed. "You deserve worse!" He exclaimed, slashing through the five who were easily defeated by him.

"AAAAAAAGH!" All of them yelled as they fell in defeat.

"No… fair… we weren't ready for that…" Red groaned.

"I'll… get you back for this…" Jr. Troopa got back up. "YOU HEAR ME?! I'LL GET MY REVENGE YET!" He yelled and took off running.

"…Let us through." Leo told the Bowser door.

"If you insist! I ain't dealing with that lobster!" He said and opened up as they ran through and saw Peach's castle in front of them.

End BGM

"Peach…" Tiki whispered.

"Come on, let's-a go!" Mario said as they nodded.

"Hang on, Peach! We're coming for ya!" Ruby said as they went into Peach's Castle, hoping to put an end to Bowser's crazy scheme once and for all.


Okay, normally I don't do these things, but something has been brought to my attention recently and it HAS to stop.

I'm just gonna come out and say it. I enjoy it when people PM me saying that my stories have inspired them to make their own stories. And you know what? I enjoy reading those PM's, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... not to mention a bit giddy that I inspired someone. It makes me feel happy.

...However, I've been receiving guest reviews from someone that made me want to tear my hair out. (And promptly deleting them.) This guest reviewer... had the audacity to do something that made me, well... unhappy.

This Guest Reviewer... let's just call him 7. (Seriously, that's his actual guest name.)

Anyway, let's check out this first guest review of Paper RWBY, shall we?

"greetings nan the keyblade master this is 7 I enjoy reading your stories even new age of darkness and dawn of chaos that it inspired me to make simaler story I will tell you about it in future reviews"

Okay, I will say that I'm glad I inspired him, but... why would he mention New Age of Darkness and Dawn of Chaos, a few of my previous KH stories, in my RWBY series, of all places, is beyond me. He was doing this in this very story, by the way.

Also, first red flag I'm seeing here is: "Similar story". But oh wait, it gets worse.

On to chapter two!

"My story is called vivid hearts five and it is a au series it has three parts prologue part 1 and part 2 they shall be givin title names for the prologue a new adventure for part 1 rise of the avengers and part 2 battle of light and darkness it add the worlds that were left out and worlds that will replaced more details in my next review"

Anything suspicious here? Let's look at chapter three. "The beginning of you story didn't have a opening so my story does and it is RWBY volume 4 let's just live And ending for part 1 this time from volume 5 Part 2 opening is triumph and the ending is redemption from dirge of Cerberus more details in my next review"

Okay, so why would he tell me that he's putting an opening here? I don't get it... but it gets even worse.

In chapter 4: "Story takes place 5 years after new age of darkness the guardians of light are in the mushroom kingdom for the anaversiry when are attack by the legion of chaos led by granddarcmon and the 12 dark commanders out of fear the people of the mushroom kingdom surrendered the guardians of light to them expect rose and Maria jr they now travel to starlight kingdom to get help from vivio now vivio must reassembled the phantom thevies build an army to stop the neo dark army the legion of chaos and Salem more details in my next review"

Okay, I don't MEAN to be that guy, but capitalization and commas are your friends. Second of all, why are you using my characters here and WHY are you using the same evil organization and just renaming it Legion of Chaos? Also, Neo Dark Army? That... doesn't sound very original at all.

By the time I read this review, I was going full on CinemaSins on this guy. No joke. (I might watch CinemaSins just a liiiiittle too much.)

And on the FIFTH chapter: The main characters for the story are the phantom thevies vivio dark magician girl from yugioh tifa Westwood from familiar of zero sliver blaze and marine from sonic patchirisu and Emolga from Pokemon Klonoa and Guntz from klonoa yukikaze from dog days akame from akame ga kill lilac the dragon carol the wild cat and milia the hound from freedom planet plus Noel who is also Regina from dokidoki precure more details in my next review

Remember what I said about commas and capitalization being your friend? Also, I'm gonna pull a CinemaSins here and say "Pachirisu and Emolga" *Ding!*

...Anyway, where was I? Oh right, on the SIXTH chapter!

The villains are the neo dark army led by the chaos 7 which are darth Malus bagramon werbellia black doom vilgax sailor chaos makuta tirdax and legion of chaos led by granddracmon and dark commanders which are mahoudramon daemon zeref kurome sigma fraud dogen adam weishupt dr wily ultron sigma merga and pascal and lastly Salem and her forces more details in my next review

Oh, lookie here, he's using Black Doom, Vilgax, Sailor Chaos and Makuta Teridax from my story. How cute. Oh, and in the Legion of Chaos (Totally not ripping off my Legion of Darkness... by the way...) I see he's wanting to use Zeref and Sigma. Now where were those two in my KH stories? Oh, I know!

But it gets WORSE.

Let me tell you some facts in this au story Hina never lost her key blade to the meta the girls were never tortured because Voldemort is already dead the girls still kiss the cpu the never met the reds and blues or RWBY they were not their at the fall of beacon but penny and Pyrrha will be alive volum will the final arc for part 1 Felix and shark face will be revived as heartless Adam Taurus will take the place of the meta in part 2 more later

So let me get this straight, you're willing to use one of my OC's, and in turn, ALL of my OCs (Including my friend's OCs, to be exact.) in your story. Also, way to bring up the girls kissing the CPUs. Yeah, way to bring that dumb moment back. Also, why are they not meeting the Reds and Blues if you're using Felix, Shark Face and the Meta? It doesn't make sense, really. Also the same with RWBY. If they were not there at the Fall of Beacon, why would Penny and Pyrrha be alive? Also, Adam Taurus... why use him if you're not going to use RWBY?

...And finally, chapter 8.

"In dawn of chaos you left out a few worlds like dragon ball Star Wars ep 7 legend of korra and fairy tail I am filling the gaps aside from the main villain worlds the worlds of mephies ailed will be replaced like kirby will be replaced with xenoblade chronicles 2"

Yes, I know... I left out some worlds, but I didn't want Dawn of Chaos to drag on like with New Age of Darkness. Also, Legend of Korra was never meant to be in Dawn of Chaos but New Age. (Didn't put that in because I wanted to finish the story, dang it!) Also, why you would have Fairy Tail in Dawn of Chaos is beyond me, because Fairy Tail was never an arc in Dawn of Chaos to begin with. There was an arc in New Age, but never Dawn of Chaos. That wasn't planned. Oh, and also... you're replacing Kirby with Xenoblade Chronicles 2. You want a relatively short and sweet arc gone and replace it with Xenoblade, a game that's known to be jam packed full of long hours of gameplay? Why? Also, replacing Kirby. WHY?!

Luckily, the reviews stopped after chapter eight, but honestly... I can't remain quiet here.

7, you had the AUDACITY to tell me that you were wanting to change things up in New Age and Dawn of Chaos. You had the AUDACITY to tell me that you were going to use my characters and my friends characters. Let me ask you something. Did I give you permission to use my characters? Did my friends give you permission to use their characters? No... no we didn't. You actually went out of your way to steal my work and make it yours... and now that I asked those questions, you absolutely have NO PERMISSION to use our characters at all!

Oh, and I've shared these reviews with my friends and... honestly, they have a few things to say about this. Take it away, y'all!


Hello there all, I am Jacob9594, I am sure you have heard about me through Kingdom Hearts: Dawn of Chaos. I am here to talk about 7 as Nan and the others have. I am deeply angered and disappointed with 7's actions. He told us through Nan that he is creating his own story based on KH which is nothing but a freaking rip off of the story and insult to the author, readers, and series used in it. He not only copy and pasted what was already done in the story, he is adding more villains and heroes which is unnecessary and wouldn't have worked on his story to begin with.

And he dares to uses some of my ideas, the very one that caused so much pain and grief for 2 years to my friends who helped create KH as if they were never bad ideas. I thought I was doing well by exploring those in a mature story, but I was a fool and a huge idiot, I refused to accept my ideas being rejected, throw tantrums, going too far, and disrespecting Nan and the other's feelings. I paid for my actions with a much deserved ban. I learned from my mistakes, forgave my friends, and lesson in humility and will not do that again and help make stories that everyone likes and is comfortable with. Its why I take offense the most out of 7's actions. Did he not see what Nan pointed out in Dawn of Chaos, he pointed out very good point on what not to do.

7, when you make a story, you have to do it with originality and appeal to the audience, you don't just steals ideas to make a good story, you learn from your mistakes, never do rip offs and not to make the same mistake. But you clearly do not see the picture or understand the gravity of your actions. Now I leave to the next person to say their needs on this matter.


By the way, this is Nan again for just a few moments. I just want to say something about Jacob. You're probably wondering why I brought him back to my place. The truth is... after that incident and a few weeks of hatred and contention through the roof and what not... over the weeks that followed, we slowly, but surely, put our differences aside and we forgave each other, and then we moved on from that horrible time. Time heals all wounds after all, and through that time, I was reconsidering bringing him back... and sure enough, I did. I forgave him... and that's what's important. Anyway, on to the next friend!


Alola, fans of these stories! It's me, Flash, and I too have something to say about this Seven. Seven, I do not take kindly to you plagiarizing our work. For those who don't know, plagiarism is, by definition, 'the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.' It's a SERIOUS offense - it'll get you kicked out of college, 0's on assignments, and in some cases get you sued for copyright infringement. Now, this isn't a place where all that legal stuff applies, it's still a dick move. And just so you know, if I find out you were plagiarizing my contributions to these projects, I will have your ass for dinner. I worked really hard on all of these ideas of mine, and I do not take kindly to someone ripping me off.


"Is it my turn? Okay so 7 look, it's fine and all to make a story, I'm trying it right now myself. It's probably gonna be a flop...but I'm using ideas of my OWN creation, add your own flare to your stories not others. Some of the ideas you've taken are some of my own and it makes me VERY unhappy, what if I stole YOUR ideas and used them for myself? How would you feel? -ShadowYoshi


Hello Cody the Worldwalker here, lover of Fire Emblem, RWBY, Mario, Kingdom Hearts, Touhou and many other games. If you have read the Kingdom Hearts Series done by Nan at all I am the one who made Worldwalker, Hikari, Buru and all the future kids in that as well as Syrena and a lot of the character's outfits though not all of them. Now I have certainly read a story or two that follows the same formula as another but they always made it different enough from the original. I'm fine with that as long as you credit the original story for the source of the idea. What I do NOT condone is stealing characters and designs without permission. I worked very hard on these characters and put in a lot of time to make them fair and balanced as much as possible. Now wanting to undo all that work in a story that is effectively a blatant ripoff with the characters I worked so hard on with out my permission well that gets me mad, and Oh Boy Nan can tell you what happens when I ACTUALLY get mad. Anyway I will leave you with this 7. Next time how about you ask us? Make an actual account on this site which is very easy to do and talk to us to do so. Anyway that is what I have to say back to you Nan.


Oh, now we're back to me again. Anyway, with what my friends said... I just want you to know, 7... that you need to STOP. It's bad enough that you did the same thing in New Age of Darkness after Dawn of Chaos ended (And why I didn't delete those reviews is beyond me... Y'all can check out the reviews in New Age if you want to. It's on the top of the first page!) but now you're doing this again. And I am so sick of it.

I am asking you to stop before things get ugly. This is your only warning. Have a great day, y'all.
