Chapter 19: Battling the Shroob Princesses
The heroes began to make their way down the stairs to where the mother ship crashed. On their way, they ended up in the room where Peach was trapped, and to their surprise, the barrier around her has disappeared! The heroes went to her immediately.
"Oh, Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Tails, thank you so!" Peach thanked. "The mother ship's impact knocked out the barrier!"
"Oh! So that's how it happened!" Mario concluded.
"Eh? What's that?" Baby Mario noticed something on the floor at the right side and picked it up. It looked like a black necklace with a blue pendant gemstone of some kind.
"Hey! Isn't that Veronica's necklace?" Young Tails guessed.
"It is! So she was here!" Baby Mario confirmed as he puts the necklace in his pocket.
"Yeah, but… Aren't you forgetting something?" Baby Luigi directed them to the crashed mother ship.
"Oh yeah…" Young Sonic sweatdropped as they stared at the ship.
Just then, the ship's cockpit opened up. A small moment of silence occurred.
"Uh…ANYBODY?!" Baby Mario called out, but nothing came out of the ship.
"Hey, why don't you go check it out?" Baby Luigi suggested as he pushes Luigi towards the ship.
"H-H-Hey! What are you doing?!" Luigi panicked. "No way!" he got free from the pushing and ran behind Baby Luigi.
"PLEASE!" Baby Luigi pleaded and went behind Luigi to push him again.
"I said no!" Luigi ran behind Baby Luigi again.
"PLEEEEEEAAAASE!" Baby Luigi pleaded again loudly. He went behind Luigi again and pleaded more: "PLEEEEEEAAAASE!"
"Sorry, but I can't do it!" Luigi stuttered. "Mario! You go check out!"
"What? Me?" Mario questioned.
"Yeah! Do it! I'm tired of waiting!" Baby Mario threw in.
"Alright." Mario nodded as he walks slowly towards the ship. He looks behind first before turning back and approaching more slowly. As soon as he looks at the opened dome…
"*#()%&$!"
"WAH!" Princess Shroob's yell startles the heroes as they jumped back.
From the dome, Princess Shroob comes out while sitting on her throne.
"P-Princess Shroob!" Peach gasped.
"(NOW YOU'VE DONE IT!)" Princess Shroob yelled at them furiously. "(YOU'RE USELESS NOW, PEACH! TIME TO FINISH YOU!)"
"Peach! Run!" Mario warned her.
"(YOU CANNOT ESCAPE! THIS KINGDOM IS MINE! I WILL DESTROY YOU ALL! DESTROY!)"
"It's time to end her for good, guys!" Sonic said with determination as he and the rest of the heroes stood in their fighting stances.
Princess Shroob sent out two guns from her throne and made them shot lasers at the heroes, but they dodged them. Sonic then Home Attacsk her, but she created a force field around her, blocking Sonic's Homing Attack.
"Hey! That's not fair!" he growled.
"You'll pay for that!" Young Sonic Spin Jumps angrily at the force field, and its color suddenly changed from blue to green.
"Wait! If we keep attacking the force field, it might break!" Tails pointed out.
"Then let's do it!" Mario exclaimed as he and Baby Mario stomped on the force field, followed up by both Tailses' arm cannon blasts, and the force field turns yellowish-orange.
Princess Shroob tries to attack the heroes again with lasers, but they dodged them again, giving a chance for both Luigis to stomp the force field, turning it red.
Just then, Princess Shroob flew back and came back with her throne equipped with long cyber-like legs and it walked above the heroes. Princess Shroob commands a cannon to shoot ring blasts at them, but they jumped over the rings as they were shrinking. Princess Shroob did a cackle before commanding her throne to slam on them, but the babies countered it with their hammers, and that also caused the force field to shatter.
Because of that, Princess Shroob had no choice but to fight them without any protection. But before the heroes could attack her, she teleports towards each of them to send out a pink ball of energy from her hands. The babies sent the balls back with their hammers, Sonic Home Kicks some other balls, and the Tailses whacked the rest with their tails. However, Princess Shroob was able to teleport to avoid the balls being sent back by the heroes.
"Damn it! She's so annoying to beat!" Sonic growled.
"Copy Flower!" Mario pulls out the Copy Flower, multiplying himself, Luigi and the babies into multiple copies and each of them begin to stomp on Princess Shroob's head.
But then, after ten clones made their stomping, Princess Shroob managed to made all of them disappear by sending out a spinning pink star at them.
"Golly! She's so tough!" Luigi exclaimed in surprise.
"Even the Copy Flower wasn't enough… Now what?" Mario questioned.
"GUYS!" suddenly, a familiar voice came in and at the same time, Princess Shroob was frozen in place.
"What the-?!" Young Sonic's eyes widened.
The heroes turned around and saw…
"Veronica!" they exclaimed. She flew towards them and she wasn't wearing her necklace on her neck.
"Sorry for the long wait! I managed to escape from the Cobalt Star's grasp! So I'm back here to help you!" she said.
"Oh yeah!" Baby Luigi cheered.
"So, how do we beat Princess Shroob?" Young Tails asked.
"Simple. The Shroobs are weak against fire and ice. If you combine fire and ice at the same time, this can be deadly for them!" Veronica explained.
"Got it!" Mario grinned while nodding. He then turns to Luigi. "Luigi!"
"Okey Dokey!" Luigi grinned back as the brothers pulled out their Fire and Ice Flowers.
The Marios absorbed the Fire Flower while the Luigis absorbed the Ice Flower. Upon their transformation, they charged up their fire and ice balls from their palms before sending them at Princess Shroob. As Veronica's magic on her wears off, Princess Shroob screeched in defeat and collapses on the floor.
"Now we must hurry and escape this place!" Veronica demanded.
"Yes, we should!" Peach nodded.
But when they reached the middle of the room, the Cobalt Star came in and flew next to them.
"Look! That… That's the almost-whole Cobalt Star you've been looking for!" Peach exclaimed.
"Glad it's back! Come here!" Luigi tries to reach for the Cobalt Star, but it flew out of his reach.
Then, the Cobalt Star began to slowly fly towards…Baby Mario?
"Eh?" he blinked. The Star tries to get closer to him as he backs away. "Oookay… This is creeping me out! What do you want from me?"
"Look... Baby Mario… Do you happen to have my necklace?" Veronica asked.
"What? Oh, yes! I have!" Baby Mario took out Veronica's necklace from his pocket. With that, the Cobalt Star began to react to it. "But what does your necklace has to do with the Cobalt Star?" he raised an eyebrow.
"Well, you see…" Veronica started. "The pendent of my necklace is actually the final shard of the Cobalt Star."
"Wait, WHAT?!" Sonic's eyes widened. "So you had the final shard all along?!"
"Yes." Veronica nodded. "With this final piece, the Cobalt Star will regain its original shape."
"Sweet!" Baby Mario detaches the Cobalt Shard out of the necklace. "Let's unite it, then!" he begins to lean towards the Cobalt Star to insert the last piece, and for some reason, Peach and Veronica looked horrified by that.
Suddenly, just as Baby Mario was about to insert the last shard…
"NO!" Baby Luigi stopped him by shielding the Cobalt Star in front of his brother. All of the boys had huge question marks over their heads.
"Huh?! Luigi?!" Baby Mario didn't expect that. "Why?"
"B-B-Because… BECAUSE-…!"
"BWAH HAH HAH!" Baby Luigi was interrupted when they suddenly heard Baby Bowser's laugh.
"What the-… NO! AGAIN?!" Sonic didn't believe that.
In an instant, Baby Bowser dropped down from the ceiling, knocking down Baby Mario to the ground and even snatched the Cobalt Shard from him.
"Big bro!" Baby Luigi cried out.
"If you thought I'd given up on getting my treasure back, you're dumber than you look!" Baby Bowser smirked. "All the time I spent hiding and waiting is gonna pay off in a big, BIG way! I'm taking all the treasures for myself! They're all MINE!" he then jumps to insert the last Cobalt Shard into the Cobalt Star.
"DON'T!" Peach, Veronica and Baby Luigi called out in horror.
Baby Bowser, of course, didn't listen to them and inserts the final piece, completing the Cobalt Star. Just then, Princess Shroob came in crawling weakly and said her final words:
"(NOW IT'S YOUR TURN… SIS…TER!)" She then exploded for good.
All of a sudden, the Cobalt Star send out purple lightning bolts while hovering around, freaking out everyone, including Baby Bowser.
"Wha-What's going on?!" Baby Bowser panicked.
Unfortunately, one of the lightning bolts managed to strike Baby Bowser, turning him into a Shroob Mushroom too!
"B-Baby Bowser?!" Young Tails flinched.
The Cobalt Star calms down and flies in front of the group.
"WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED?!" Luigi questioned horrified.
"Oh… Oh no…" Veronica whimpered.
"Luigi, you were going to say something to us, right?" Baby Mario stated. "Do you know what's going on?"
"Well, umm…" Baby Luigi stood in front of the boys looking crestfallen and placing his hands behind his back. "You see… Back at Star Hill where I cried when I looked at the Cobalt Star's spirit… Veronica told me about the real secret hidden in the Star once I calmed down. I promised her to keep this a secret."
"Seriously?" Baby Mario's eyes widened.
"Mmhm…" Baby Luigi nodded. "In truth… That Cobalt Star… There was… There was another Shroob princess inside it!"
"Wait, really?" Mario asked in surprise. "So that sketch… Could it be…?"
"That's right! Princess Shroob… HAS A TWIN SISTER!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!" all of the boys except Baby Luigi yelled in shock.
"You've explained enough, Baby Luigi. Now let me finish the rest." Veronica placed her hand on Baby Luigi's shoulder as she flies in front of the boys now. "Everyone… Let me tell you what really happened back then…" she begins: "When Princess Peach arrived in this time period, Princess Shroob immediately attacked her… So she sent me from Hollijolli Village to protect her."
The Cobalt Star began to turn into a colored orb as Veronica continues:
"Once at the castle, I instantly grabbed the time machine's power source, the Cobalt Star, and I trapped Princess Shroob inside it, then shattered it. Yes… I was the one who broke the Cobalt Star, not Princess Shroob. Before fleeing to the present, I took one of the Shards with me, which became my necklace I've been wearing throughout this whole adventure. That's when I met you."
"And it was then…" Peach continued. "…that the younger Shroob princess surprised and captured me."
"So yeah… Gathering all of the Cobalt Star shards gave the elder Princess Shroob all of her power back!" Veronica finished.
"Wait a minute… So THAT'S why you were acting so hesitant when we were gathering the Cobalt Shards!" Tails concluded.
"That's absolutely correct." Veronica nodded. "I never wanted to gather the Cobalt Shards with you at all! But because you were so focused on rescuing Princess Peach, I had no choice…" she lamented. "And even if I told you the secret at the beginning, you wouldn't believe me!"
"Hold on, are you telling us that the real reason why the Shroobs kidnapped Peach…" Mario started.
"…is because they decided to use her as bait to lure you guys into this journey!" Veronica finished, making the boys gasp. "The Shroobs knew that Peach getting kidnapped was your main priority for going on an adventure, so they decided to use this strategy for their advantage and trick you!"
"Dang it! Those Shroobs REALLY played a smart move on us!" Sonic growled under his breath. "I seriously can't believe we fell for it that easily!"
"And in addition, the Shroobs tricked us not once, but TWICE!" Young Sonic threw in.
"But now…it's too late." Peach lamented.
Then, the colorful orb morphed into the Elder Princess Shroob, who landed on the ground and caused the heroes to jump. She roared as she spoke:
"I LAUGH AT YOU. MUSHROOM AND ANIMAL HEADS. PATHETIC THINGS. YOU GATHERED THE COBALT SHARDS WITHOUT EVER GUESSING THE TRUTH! NOW I AM FREE! AND THAT HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE COBALT STAR IS NO MORE! I FEAR NOTHING NOW! DO YOU HEAR ME? NOTHING!"
"No… So the identity of the spirit we spoke to up on Star Hill... It was actually the Shroob princess who was trapped inside it! Travesty!" Stuffwell said in unbelief.
"I WILL GIVE YOU A SPECIAL REWARD FOR SETTING ME FREE. YOU WILL LOVE IT." Elder Princess Shroob smirked.
"Uh oh… I did not like the sound of that…" Luigi gulped.
"AND MY SISTER… MY DEAR, SWEET, BEAUTIFUL SISTER… I WILL AVENGE HER!"
Just then, the middle platform began to rise up, taking everyone to the skies above Shroob Castle. It was filled with thunderclouds sending out pink lightning bolts.
")(! )()(! )()()()()(!" Elder Princess Shroob spoke.
"What have we done?" Young Tails whimpered.
"Fear not, dear heroes. Even if Elder Princess Shroob is free, we can still take her out." Veronica encouraged. "I'll always be on your side. You were the nicest friends I've ever met."
"Thanks a lot, Veronica!" Sonic gave thumbs up.
"All right, let's do this!" Mario said with determination as everyone stood in their fighting stances. The final battle was about to unfold…
Four Shroob Saucers flew up into the air above the heroes. Before they could even attack them, a familiar voice came:
"Heroes!" it was from Melissa.
"Melissa?" Mario's eyes widened as she descends from the heavens and landed next to the heroes.
"I came all the way down from the Star Realm to help." Melissa said. "After all, I've told you we would see each other again, haven't I?" she smiled. "Now, Mario and Luigi from the past…" she turned to the babies before summoning a star from her palm. "Send this star up there to knock out the UFOs!"
"Okey Dokey!" Baby Mario grinned as he and Baby Luigi took out their hammers.
Melissa tossed the star to the babies and they knocked it into the air, hitting the Shroob Saucers, causing them to crash into Elder Princess Shroob.
Angered, Elder Princess Shroob came back with a Shroobfied Chain Chomp and sent it to attack the heroes, but they jumped over it and Sonic stomped it to send it away, before attacking Elder Princess Shroob with a Surprise Attack.
More Shroob Saucers came in and two of them carried Elder Princess Shroob to the air, where she sent out energy blasts at the heroes. They avoided them by jumping. Elder Princess Shroob came back down and stomped the ground, creating a shockwave. The heroes jumped over the shockwave, and Elder Princess Shroob did a roar before charging at both Tailses.
"Plasma Cannon: Bomb Mode!" Tails fired bombs from his arm cannon at Elder Princess Shroob, and she was sent backwards after the bombs exploded on her. "Quick! Let's attack her!" he warned.
Young Tails fired plasma blasts from his arm cannon, followed up by Mario and Luigi's stomp. Young Sonic then attacked her next with his Fire Shield dash.
"Wow! You had your shields with you?" Sonic asked in surprise.
"Yep!" Young Sonic nodded.
"Cool! Now it's my turn!" Sonic grinned as he does his Burning Spin Dash at the Elder Princess Shroob.
Both fire attacks made the Elder Princess Shroob roar in pain. That's when Baby Luigi remembered:
"Hey! Remember that Veronica told us that fire and ice are the Shroobs' main weakness?"
"That's it! Let's use our Fire and Ice Flowers again!" Mario said.
"NO LETTING THAT!" Elder Princess Shroob yelled as the Shroob Saucers brought a huge purple meteor, holding it with her arms above her head and threw it at the heroes' direction…until it stopped in place. "WHAT?!" Elder Princess Shroob didn't expect that.
"Did you forget about me?" Veronica smirked. "Do it, Mario Brothers!"
"Okey!" the four brothers nodded as they absorbed the Fire and Ice Flowers. This time, the Marios absorbed the Ice Flower, and the Luigis absorbed the Fire Flower. They charged their fire and ice balls, preparing to throw them at the Elder Princess Shroob.
"CURSE YOU, VERONICA!" Elder Princess Shroob yelled as she was getting hit by the fire and ice balls. After that, she collapses on the ground.
"That's it?" Sonic questioned.
"I'm getting a feeling that it's not over yet…" Veronica suspected as she turned to the heroes. All of a sudden, two purple tentacles came in and tied her! "*loud gasp*" she gasped. Turns out that Elder Princess Shroob was the one who grabbed her and pulled her close.
"OF COURSE… YOU ARE THE FAIRY WHO CONTROLS TIME. HOW SILLY OF ME." Elder Princess Shroob smirked. "WITH YOUR POWERS, I SHALL… CONSUME EVERYTHING!" she begins to absorb Veronica's powers with her tentacles.
"AAAAAAAAHHHH!" Veronica screamed in pain as her energy was being sucked away.
"VERONICA!" the rest of the group shouted in horror.
Once she felt like she had enough power, Elder Princess Shroob tossed the now unconscious Veronica back at the heroes.
"Veronica… No…!" Baby Luigi cried out.
Just then, a large amount of power began to surge in Elder Princess Shroob.
"YES… YES! THE POWER! THE POWER TO CONTROL TIME… IS MINE!" she cackled in glory as she was changing into a different form.
"The Elder Princess…is changing!" Melissa gasped.
"What in the world…?" Sonic was speechless.
Eventually, Elder Princess Shroob was covered with purple smoke. Once the smoke faded, it revealed that Elder Princess Shroob has changed dramatically: she was double the size she was before, and tentacles replaced her arms and feet.
"HOLY MOLY!" Luigi shouted in shock.
"She's HUGE!" Young Sonic flinched.
"NOW I'M THE ONE WHO CONTROLS THE FLOW OF TIME IN THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM!" Elder Princess Shroob shouted in glory. "THE PAST… THE PRESENT… THE FUTURE… AT LONG LAST…THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM… IS MINE!" a loud thunderstrike came as she spoke the last sentence, with the thunderclouds turning dark purple.
"Oh god…" Baby Luigi murmured while shaking a little.
"Now how are we going to beat her without Veronica?" Young Tails whimpered.
"Simple. Let's just attack her with fire and ice attacks to weaken her." Young Sonic stated.
Before going into the battle, Baby Mario dragged Veronica to Melissa and Peach.
"Please take care of her." He requested.
"We will." Peach nodded.
"We're all counting on you, heroes. Save the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, present and future." Melissa told him.
Baby Mario made a nod and went into battle. At last, this battle will decide the fate of the Mushroom Kingdom in all of its time periods.
Elder Princess Shroob spat out purple clouds of smoke from her mouth, but the heroes dodged them. She then came closer and used her four tentacles to stab the four adults. While Sonic and Tails were able to dodge, Mario and Luigi didn't dodge in time and fainted.
"Mario! Luigi!" Young Tails cried out.
"Hurry, little bro!" Baby Mario called out as he and Baby Luigi pulled out each a 1-Up Super and used it to revive the adult brothers.
"Ugh… That attack was a pain…" Luigi groaned as he got up.
"No kidding…" Mario agreed.
"Uh oh! Guys! Here comes another attack!" Tails warned.
Elder Princess Shroob stretched two of her leg tentacles and moved them around. The heroes dodged the tentacles by jumping as they approached them.
"Okay, where do we attack first?" Young Sonic asked.
"Let's try her legs!" Tails suggested.
"Got it!" Sonic replied as he and his younger self Spin Dashed at Elder Princess Shroob's leg tentacles.
Soon, more Shroob Saucers came in. Elder Princess Shroob fired a blast from her mouth at the Saucers. Oddly enough, some of them were catching fire, some were short-circuiting, some were dripping and the rest had smoke coming out.
"Wait a minute… Fire, electricity, drip, smoke blowing by the wind… That's it!" Mario snapped his fingers.
"What?" Sonic questioned.
"Remember our hand powers that we obtained from the Beanbean Kingdom? Those Saucers' states are mirroring our hand powers!"
"Oh! So you mean that…"
"…that I have to hit the ones catching fire, Luigi has to hit the ones short-circuiting, you have to hit the dripping ones and Tails has to hit the smoking ones!"
"That's it! Let's do this!"
With that, the heroes with the help of their younger selves hit the corresponding Saucers, sending them at Elder Princess Shroob. She then tried to attack the heroes with the tentacle spinning again, but she stretched three instead of two tentacles.
After dodging the tentacles, the heroes focused on attacking the leg tentacles. Young Tails shot blasts from his arm cannon, while Tails tries a new mode for his arm cannon.
"Plasma Cannon: Fire Mode!" he sends out a flamethrower from his arm cannon at the legs.
The Mario Bros used their Fire and Ice Flowers again and shot their fire and ice balls. This caused the leg tentacles from Elder Princess Shroob to turn gray and she was unable to move.
She did another roar and attacks with her arm tentacles at the heroes again, but they dodged them. However, they weren't expecting the tentacles to tie them up next.
"GAAAH! Let us go!" Young Sonic growled as everyone struggles to get free.
Then, just before Elder Princess Shroob was able to attack the heroes, a shooting star came out of nowhere and cut her tentacles, freeing the heroes. They looked back and saw that it was Melissa who sent out the shooting star.
"Melissa!" the heroes exclaimed.
"Heroes! Aim for her crown! Veronica's powers are stored there!" Melissa warned.
The heroes nodded in response and prepared to attack the crown. Just then, Elder Princess Shroob charged out a giant purple orb of energy and sent it at the heroes to prevent them for attacking her crown. They attempted to hit it back at Elder Princess Shroob, but the energy ball was too strong and none of their attacks worked.
"WHOOOOOAAA!" they screamed as they were sent into the air upon being hit by the energy ball. They landed back on the ground, but suffered a lot of damage.
"Oh no! This is bad! We have to do something!" Peach whimpered.
"You're right, but how?" Melissa asked.
"…combine…fire…and…ice…" Veronica suddenly groaned weakly.
"Veronica? You're alive?" Peach's eyes widened.
"Yes, she was only unconscious." Melissa replied. "Okay, we know that Shroobs are weak to fire and ice, but the Mario Brothers had used them at the same time and it didn't do much damage. What exactly are you talking about, Veronica?" she asked.
"…the…actual…way…to…defeat…the…Shroobs…is…with…the…Mix…Flower…" Veronica responded.
"The Mix Flower?" Peach asked.
"…use…your…star…power…to…combine…the…Fire…and…Ice…Flowers…"
"Combine the Fire Flower and the Ice Flower? In that case…" Melissa turned to the brothers and called them: "MARIO! LUIGI!"
The four brothers heard Melissa's call and turned around. "Hm?" they did.
"Come here to us! We know how to defeat Elder Princess Shroob!" Melissa told them.
"Right!" Mario nodded. He first turned around and told Sonic: "Sonic! You and the rest distract Elder Princess Shroob while we head to Melissa!"
"Leave it to us!" Sonic gave thumbs up. Mario returned the thumbs up before he, Luigi and their younger selves went to Melissa and Peach.
"Mario Brothers, take out your Fire and Ice Flowers." Melissa said. "We'll combine them into the weapon that will defeat Elder Princess Shroob for good."
The brothers nodded and took out the Fire and Ice Flowers, handing them to Melissa and Peach. Melissa took the Ice Flower while Peach took the Fire Flower. Both princesses moved the flowers next to each other as Melissa spoke:
"Now, let us do our work…"
Melissa closed her eyes and concentrates. With that, a golden aura surrounded Peach as the brothers watched in awe. The gold aura went into the flowers and they were surrounded in a bright light. Once the light faded, it showed that the flowers were magically merged into one: a sun-shaped orange and yellow flower.
"Whoa…" Luigi was amazed.
"This here is the Mix Flower." Melissa explained. "Take it. Use it to destroy Elder Princess Shroob once and for all."
The four nodded and Mario took the Mix Flower. "Ready?" he asked Baby Mario, Baby Luigi and Luigi. They all nodded in response with determined looks. "Mix Flower!" he rose the flower into the air for them to absorb its power.
Of course, the Mix Flower changed the color of their clothes: Mario and Baby Mario's cap and shirt were yellow and their overalls were black. Luigi and Baby Luigi's cap and shirt became orange with their overalls turning green. They became Mix Mario and Baby Mario and Mix Luigi and Baby Luigi.
Mix Mario first shot fireballs to create a large fireball in the sky above Elder Princess Shroob. Next, Mix Luigi, Mix Baby Mario and Mix Baby Luigi shot ice balls at the fireball, making it enlarge. The Mix brothers continued their fire and ice balls build up to send them at the large fireball until the fireball was huge. Eventually, the huge fireball fell and exploded right on Elder Princess Shroob's head, destroying her crown.
"W-WHAT?! NO!" Elder Princess Shroob felt the power of time emerging out of her. "THE POWER!" she began to shrink down and her tentacles became arms and legs again. At the same time, the Mix Flower's effect on the bros wears off. "FOOLISH MUSHROOM AND ANIMAL HEADS… WELL, YOU MAY HAVE BESTED ME, BUT SHROOBS WILL LIVE ON… ONE DAY, THE SHROOBS WILL DANCE ON THE BURIED REMAINS OF THIS PATHETIC KINGDOM…" she said her last words before eventually becoming a Shroob Mushroom.
"Well, then…" Baby Luigi tilted his head. "Eh, let's just take it." He takes the Shroob Mushroom with him.
The battle seemed over…or doesn't…?
To be continued…
