World Bowser Map (Super Mario 3D World)
"Ya know...i've been wondering." Pit said.
"What is it?" Sora asked.
"If Hades is back into play and Ghirahim is one of his followers...who else is with him?" He wondered.
"Judging how we faced Ridley a few worlds back...I guess he was one of them." Marisa said. "What about that Pandora girl?"
"Pandora wouldn't surprise me." Pit said. "Hmm...I wonder who else?"
Peach suddenly shuddered. "What if...he revived...HER?"
Pit blinked. "Her?"
"You know..." Peach sighed. "The Shadow Queen?"
"I doubt Hades would revive her." Pit said. "...Though knowing him..." He shook it off. "Nah, I don't think he would." He said and then they looked at a ghost house.
"And that is my cue to leave." Luigi said.
"Stopza!" Xion exclaimed, freezing Luigi.
Oh come on! Luigi thought as the Keyblade Wielders pulled the frozen plumber into the Ghost house.
World Bowser-6: A Little TOO Dark...
Shifty Boo Mansion (Super Mario 3D World)
Time resumed for Luigi as he glared at them all. "I hate you..."
"Oh come on, it's not THAT bad." Xion smiled innocently.
"Though it is severely dark..." Pit said.
"I can act like a flashlight." FLUDD said.
"You can?" Lucy asked.
"Due to Nitori's and the professor's constant experiments with me, I am more than a water device."
"Oh come on, just being a water pack is just so boring." Nitori smiled as she pressed a button and the nozzle on FLUDD turned on to be a flashlight, then Natsu and Mokou ignited their hands and Captain Toad and Toadette turned on their headlamps.
As they walked around, they saw a button with Luigi's symbol on it as Luigi curiously pressed it and a stamp popped up in his hands. "Huh, cool." He said as they kept walking until they came across a mirror as Mario saw a Green Star.
"Huh?" He turned his head. "Oh, cool." He said as he took it and they kept walking until they got into some elevator of some sort as they went up.
"Um, ever get the feeling you're being watched?" Pit asked.
"Oh thank goodness...i'm not alone." Luigi said.
"Hmm..." Youmu folded her arms. "I don't have that feeling. It could be a Boo watching us."
"It's not a Boo..." Pit muttered. "If it was, they would've gotten us by now." He said.
Above them, a gap was opened and a certain person was looking through it. "Hmm..." She looked at them.
"If you're going to try and reveal yourself...be my guest." Ghirahim said. "I'm not going to stop you from getting yourself beat up by those Fairy Tail wizards."
"I wonder what it'd be like if I possessed Titania instead?" Yukari mused and then shrugged. "Oh well, this vessel will just have to do."
"Riiiight." Ghirahim looked at her. "What do you got in mind anyways? They got Boos, Peepas and Parabones in there."
"How about...spicing things up a little?" She smirked as she made another gap.
"And where are YOU going?"
"Oh, I'm going to the graveyard in Kakariko Village...and possibly pay a little visit under the well...and maybe check out the Shadow Temple." She said before walking in.
"...What is she up to...?" He wondered.
"Isn't it obvious? She's going to go get some ReDead." Pandora told him.
"Hmm...that Shadow Queen may know something that I don't..."
"You originated in olden day Hyrule...you should know that."
"I never encountered them." He told her.
Back with the others...
After they walked in the real door and getting the second Green Star, they continued onward, making any Peepa disappear with their lights and then some Parabones got in their way. "You don't scare us!" Youmu exclaimed, slashing them with her katanas but they kept rebuilding themselves.
"Man, is there ANY WAY to get rid of them?!" Xion asked.
"An Invincibility Star, but I'm not detecting one." FLUDD said.
"We'll just have to fend them off." Erza said.
"Uh, not to make you worry...BUT THERE'S A HUMONGOUS BOO RIGHT BEHIND US!" Luigi yelled, and suddenly...they heard an ear-piercing shriek, making all of them stop as everyone looked at him. "I don't scream like a girl...don't pin it on me."
"Then who was that?" Gray asked.
Pit gulped. "I played a lot of Zelda games to know that familiar shriek..." He said. "ReDead." He muttered as they all looked to seven of them walking up to them, causing the Parabones and Boo to scream and run off.
"Even they're afraid of them?" Lucy asked.
Natsu glared at the ReDead. "I'll take care of them." He said as he ran over to them with his fist ignited. "FIRE DRAGO-" One of them shrieked, causing him to freeze. "What the heck...I can't...MOVE!"
"Natsu!" Erza exclaimed and suddenly they all froze. "What the?!"
"Gah, they're getting closer and..." Pit looked at them in horror as they were walking straight for them. "Oh no...this isn't good!"
Suddenly, a dark arrow hit a ReDead on the head, followed by several more as they all killed the ReDeads. "Dark arrows?" Reimu asked as they eventually got back to normal.
"I know those arrows..." Pit said as he turned around. "Pittoo!"
"Ugh...STOP calling me that." He sighed. "Honestly..."
"How'd you know we were here?" Marisa asked.
"Well, when you suddenly disappeared...we looked all over for you." Dark Pit explained. "We all thought maybe you went to Skyworld to rest but you weren't there. I then come to the Mushroom Kingdom to see a clear pipe. I go through all the worlds just to get here."
"Well, here's what's going on." Pit said and then explained everything.
"Hmm...I see." Dark Pit rubbed his chin in thought. "Hades is back, huh...and Flandre's been kidnapped."
"Right." Remilia nodded.
"Well, I guess we'll just have to keep on going and whenever we bump into Hades, we'll stop him and get the vampire back." He said as he took the Green Star and then they walked outside as he took the flagpole.
"Why do you gotta take the flagpole?" Pit asked.
"Simple, I saved the day. You can thank me later." He chuckled as he walked away.
"OOOOH..." Yukari exclaimed in annoyance. "That stupid dark angel just had to ruin my fun!" She exclaimed.
"I'm just glad Link's not with them." Ghirahim muttered.
Pandora sighed. "What are you gonna do? He does what he wants to do."
Yukari took a few deep breaths. "It's okay...we still have Flandre."
"Where is that vampire anyways?" Ghirahim wondered.
"Getting her memories reorganized by Hades." Pandora replied.
"I see." He nodded.
Yukari looked at the next area straight ahead. "Those Grumblumps do look happy...but what if I decide to...make them mad?"
World Bowser-7: Mad Grumblumps
Fort Fire Bros (Super Mario 3D World)
"How are we going to fit on that?" Lucy asked.
"Well, I don't know." Mario said as they got up, as the Grumblump started moving.
"Whoa!" Luigi exclaimed. "I wish I can fly..." He said.
"I'm a little jealous of Pittoo right now." Pit muttered.
"Heh." Dark Pit smirked at him, none of them noticing a gap opening.
"Sinister Spirits: Double Black Death Butterfly." Yukari said, as butterflies attacked the Grumblump, as it got angry and started going faster.
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" Lucy exclaimed.
"What the heck?!" Peach exclaimed.
"That's strange..." Reimu said while Yukari watched them adapting to it until they got to the other side.
"Oh...you think you're so smart..." She muttered, watching them getting on the next one. "Boundary of Humans and Youkai!"
The Grumblump got really angry, but they still managed to hang on as everyone was laughing. "Man, this gets us through it a lot faster!" Natsu exclaimed.
"Mush, gray block! Mush!" Happy exclaimed while Mokou took a Green Star, while Yukari was getting mad.
"They should be falling into the lava, not having fun!" Yukari exclaimed in anger, seeing them gathering the green coins and getting the Green Star, and then they got into the next Grumblump. "BARRIER: BOUNDARY OF LIFE AND DEATH!" She screamed, but once again...they were having fun as a few Fire Piranha Plants and Hammer Bros looked at each other and shrugged at this while Youmu took the stamp.
Yukari growled. "That's it...this should turn that last Grumblump over the edge." She said. "IMPOSSIBLE DANMAKU BARRIER!" She screamed, but once again...they proved her wrong while grabbing the Green Star as it abruptly stopped and launched them straight to the flagpole.
"Well that was fun." Sora said.
"A little too wild for me, but it was awesome." Xion smiled as they kept on going while Pit took the Flagpole.
"YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" Yukari screamed and then shut the gap out of pure anger.
"Oh, someone's having an off day..." Ghirahim said.
"No kidding." Pandora said.
Meanwhile...
Bowser's Castle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
Bowser folded his arms. "You're absolutely sure? That's what I should do?"
"Yes." General Guy nodded. "That's what you should do after getting defeated again."
"So you're saying I need to let them win?"
"Yep." He nodded.
Bowser grumbled over this. "Men! Install some POW Blocks on that tower! ASAP!"
