World 4 Map (Super Mario 3D World)
They came out of the clear pipe. "Okay, we're in some sort of canyon?" Sora asked as they looked around.
"Hmm..." Mario looked around. "Something about this feels familiar."
"You fought a bad guy in a canyon?" Reimu asked.
"Not to my knowledge." Mario said. "Maybe I saw this in a dream?" He wondered.
"Well, whatever that dream was, I'm sure it wasn't important." Natsu said. "Let's keep on going!"
"Okay, is it me or are those some really big ants?" Lucy asked as she pointed off at the distance.
World 4-1: Major Ant Problem
Ant Trooper Hill (Super Mario 3D World)
"Wow, this canyon has a major ant problem." Happy said.
"Nothing like burning them up will fix it!" Natsu exclaimed as he kept fire punching the Ant Troopers away.
"Natsu..." Erza tried to get his attention.
Natsu fire punched an Ant Trooper to another one. "OH YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!" He exclaimed.
"Natsu!" Wendy exclaimed.
Natsu stopped punching and turned. "What?"
"According to FLUDD, these Ant Troopers are very friendly." Erza told him. "This is their homeland."
Natsu blinked. "Well someone should've told me that before I started punching them!"
Gray facepalmed. "Honestly..." He muttered as they started to walk around while Wendy went out of her way to start healing the Ant Troopers, even Xion was using Curaga on them.
As they kept walking, they saw a stamp being carried by an Ant Trooper. "Okay...do we leave that alone or do we keep it anyways?" Reimu asked.
"Hmm...I wonder." Marisa said as she gently took the stamp off. "Huh, nothing happened."
The Ant Trooper stopped walking as it felt it's back as it looked over to see Marisa holding the stamp, and to everyone's surprise...tears started to form in its eyes. "Aah!" Marisa exclaimed. "No no no! Don't cry!"
"Oh geez..." Luigi said. "How are we gonna fix this problem?" He wondered.
"Um..." An idea popped in Reimu's hand. "I know!" She knelt down and started making the stamp out of dirt. "Here you go! A new one!" She smiled, but it disintegrated. "Or not." She said, as the Ant Trooper started crying.
"Ah geez! This is making feel horrible!" Marisa exclaimed. "I didn't mean to make him cry!"
FLUDD sprayed water in the air, as Nitori worked it and then placed it on the Ant Trooper's back. "A water stamp! That works!" She smiled, but once she stopped manipulating it, it went back into normal water and drenched the ant. "...Until I stop manipulating it." She sighed.
"Just leave it all to me." Gray said. "ICE MAKE: STAMP!" He yelled, as an ice made stamp appeared in his hand. "Here you go." He said as he placed it on the Ant Trooper.
The Ant Trooper stopped crying and looked at the stamp, smiling as it happily walked away. "Oh thank goodness..." Marisa sighed. "I thought I had to give this back to him and we'd be one stamp short."
"Well, at least we got it." Reimu said as they kept on going.
"We passed a Green Star." FLUDD said.
"We did?" Mokou asked as she and Kaguya saw a Green Star. "Oh that thing is mine!" She exclaimed as they flew over but Kaguya kicked her away and grabbed it.
"Ha! I got it!" Kaguya exclaimed.
"Oh just wait until Natsu finds a cloud!" Mokou exclaimed as they kept walking.
"Do I even want to know?" Erza asked.
"Uh, it's...something." Lucy replied as they kept walking until they saw the Big Ant Troopers. "Holy crap, those are huge!"
"I wonder if we can ride them?" Mario wondered as he jumped on one and helped up Peach, Blue Toad, Captain Toad and Toadette.
"Huh, looks like we can." Peach said as Luigi hopped onto another with Lucy, Gray and Wendy...while Natsu was being carried by Happy and Erza transformed in her Black Wing Armor, while the others just simply walked over to the Flag Pole farther away.
"What's in that Green Pipe?" Mokou wondered as she went into the warp pipe to see several Ant Troopers minding their own business and a Green Star was just floating there. "Huh." She took it and then walked to the other Warp Pipe, where the Ant Troopers were curiously looking at her before going back to their usual shenanigans.
"Went sight-seeing?" Kaguya asked, holding two Green Stars in her hand with a smirk.
"I got a Green Star too." Mokou said. "And you got a long way to go." She said as she flew off.
"Oh trust me...from this point on, I will be making a comeback! Just you wait!" Kaguya exclaimed as she flew off with Mokou as they saw Reimu's face on the flagpole.
"Ah, there you two are." Mario said. "We were just waiting for you."
"I bet they were arguing again." Natsu said.
"Nah, I was just bragging that I got two Green Stars in this area." Kaguya chuckled as they went ahead to the next area, as they were in some kind of forest.
World 4-2: Creepy Piranha Plants
Piranha Creeper Creek (Super Mario 3D World)
"What's with the purple water?" Natsu asked.
"That is poison water." FLUDD said. "If you touch it, you'll immediately die."
Kaguya's eyes widened, and got an idea...a most rotten idea as she glanced at Mokou. It's not lava, but I can manage. She'll stay down if I push her in!
"I think I'll pass..." Lucy said. "I kinda like my life and I don't want to go out by accidentally falling into poison water."
"I'm with you." Wendy said.
"Ditto." Luigi nodded.
"Alright, those afraid of falling in the water, you'll stay here. The rest of us will go on ahead." Erza said as they walked off.
"So now what?" Wendy asked.
Lucy noticed a sign as she took a look. "Shortcut to the flag pole." She read. "Well, I guess we'll go this way." She said as she, Wendy, Luigi, Captain Toad and Toadette walked the other way.
"Honestly, Lucy is just being a baby." Natsu said. "The water doesn't look that threatening."
"Yeah well, I don't blame them." Gray said. "One wrong move and you'll be swimming in the poison water."
"Yeah, good point." Natsu said, watching the girls flying in the air as they then noticed a Piranha Creeper just sleeping in front of a warp pipe. "Hey!" He exclaimed as he burned up the Piranha Creeper as they then walked in the pipe.
"According to my data, these are Piranha Creepers." FLUDD said.
"Well that kind of makes sense." Reimu said. "They do look creepy."
"All the more reason to burn them." Natsu said as they guided their way until they saw a Green Star in the non-poisonous water.
"I'm not getting that." Marisa said.
"Oh for the love of..." Sakuya made time stop, and then she resumed it with the Green Star in her hand. "Stop being such a baby."
"Oh shut up." Marisa muttered as they looked around. "Hey, has anyone seen two immortal girls?" She asked.
"Last I saw them; they were headed for a Mystery Box." Roxas said, and then blinked. "Oh dear..."
"It was MY Green Star and you know it!" Kaguya's voice exclaimed as they looked behind.
"Right, you woke up the Piranha Creeper and it bit you in the butt, forcing me to fry them all and take the Green Star."
"I WAS THIS CLOSE TO GETTING IT!"
"Well if you weren't so busy being cocky, I would've let you have it!"
"They're fine." Xion said as they kept walking as they saw Flandre at the warp pipe waiting for them. "Uh..."
"There was a passageway with a stamp." Flandre replied as they got into the next area, where it was the return of the poison water and a warp pipe far ahead, and there were lots of Piranha Creepers and Stingbies.
"Well this looks like fun." Natsu said as the ones who couldn't fly had a difficult time walking around.
It's time... Kaguya thought as she saw Mokou collecting the eight green coins. "Hey uh...Mokou."
"What?"
"I just want to say that...i'm sorry for what I did to your father."
Mokou blinked in surprise. "Whoa whoa whoa...back this up." She said as she had the Green Star in her hand. "You're apologizing?"
"I am." She said. "I...really want to be friends." She said, faking a smile.
"You do?" Mokou asked.
"Yeah." She smiled. "It was wrong of me for doing something so crazy. I apologize for the things I have done in the past."
Mokou smiled. "Well alright." She said as Kaguya then hugged her as she then returned the hug, but then Kaguya smirked and then pushed her away. "Kaguya? What's with the smir-AGH!" She yelled as she was kicked hard in the knee, causing her to fall to the ground.
"You were a good rival, but now...things must come to an end." She said, kicking her in the chest, almost knocking her in the water.
"You..." Mokou glared at her. "And to think...you changed your ways!"
"Oh Mokou...you are so stupid to think I would call a truce just like that." She smirked as she walked to her.
"I won't let you get away with this..." She muttered as she reached for a spell card, but Kaguya fired simple danmaku at her shoulder, making her scream in pain as her arms went limp. "The others will...find out about this."
"I seriously doubt they will." She said, pulling out a spell card. "Tree-ocean of Hourai." She smirked, as the explosions from the danmaku made her go splashing into the water, as she watched Mokou sink to the bottom. "Farewell, Mokou." She smirked as she casually walked away. Now...to pretend that something ELSE happened to her. she thought.
"Hey, what ever happened to them?" Marisa asked as they reunited with the others as Captain Toad's face was on the flagpole.
"Hey, I see Kaguya!" Sora pointed over to them.
"Where's Mokou?" Natsu asked.
"It's...horrible." She said, tears falling. "We were just talking...minding our own business when a Piranha Creeper suddenly came out of the poison water and bit down on Mokou's leg. I tried to fight it while trying to save her, but...it was too late, it pulled her underwater." She sobbed.
"WHAT?!" Natsu, Happy and Sora yelled, though everyone else was skeptical as Kaguya was still crying.
"Oh, I am going to kill any Piranha Plant that gets in our way." Natsu growled under his breath as they kept on going.
"I'm calling major bullcrap here." Reimu said. "There's no way you could save Mokou from being pulled under. You would've watched her being pulled in...or the face that she would've burned it up."
"She wanted me to save her..." Kaguya told her.
Reimu sighed. "Alright, whatever you say." She said as she walked away.
"Do you think Kaguya has something to do with this?" Marisa whispered quietly.
"Oh yeah, big time. But I'm just going to let this one go until Mokou comes back." She whispered back as everyone else just walked quietly.
She shoots...she scores! Kaguya thought, smirking.
Meanwhile...at the bottom of the poison water...
Mokou lay motionless on the ground, looking at the surface above. Once I have the strength to get back up...I am SO going to kill her... She thought.
