"So you're heading off with them my boy?" Koopley asked
"Yeah…" Koops nodded. "I mean, I did help defeat Hooktail along with everyone else. I feel like going on this adventure will help me be a better Koopa."
Koopley laughed. "Well said! That's my boy! Just remember, that you are my son and I am your father. If you ever feel homesick and want to come by for a quick visit, do so! We'll be happy to see you!"
"Oh my sweet Koops, I'll be waiting right here... Please remember to stay safe and come back." Koopie Koo smiled
"Well, we shouldn't be holding you back, young feller! Go and see the world with Murphy and friends!" Kroop said.
"Can do!" Koops said and turned around. "Murphy?" He mouthed as Mario shrugged it off.
"Let's-a go!" Mario said as they turned around.
"Wait, hold on a second!" Kroop exclaimed as they turned to him. "I just remembered a badge that was in my backyard! Koops, I want you to have it. It is the Mega Rush P badge."
"Oh, alright." Koops said as he walked over, turned paper thin, grabbed it and then returned to them holding on to it.
"All right, shall we everyone?" Kazuha said as they walked out of the village.

(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Petal Meadows)
"All right, our next destination is to head back to the Thousand Year Door." Levi reminded.
"Thousand Year Door?" Kazuha asked.
"Oh shoot, I knew there was something that needs to be mention."
"Well the Thousand Year Door-" Rean said as he begin to explain more to Kazuha as they kept walking… and then they heard something going off from Mario's pocket. "-Huh?"
"Wasn't me, I swear!" Goombella said from the pocket.
"Oh, I forgot I had this." Mario chuckled and pulled out his Mailbox SP. "It's from Peach!" He said after opening it up and began reading it.
"My dearest Mario and friends, I have some unfortunate news. I have once again been kidnapped, but surprisingly, not from Bowser this time. They are these freaks who called themselves the X-Nauts and they are also looking for the Crystal Stars. I accidentally screw up on my part by spilling your names and they know you had the map. I don't know why they need the Crystal Stars, but you must not let them get them! You must stop them! Anyway, I will close this message by saying: I am okay and I am waiting for you to come save me… considering I have NO idea where I am. Love, Peach.
PS: My Pokemon say Hi.
PSS: Hey, Rean, Levi! Long time no see! Are the rest of Class VII with you? I wish we can talk but as you know in this message, stay safe!"
"I had a feeling she was kidnapped." Levi said.
"Yeah… the good news is that she's safe." Rean said.
"But who are these X-Nauts she mentions?" Luigi asked.
"Hmm... that's a good question. But I believe it's safe to assume they are the one who kidnapped Princess Peach. And they're after the Crystal Stars for their own reason." Kzuha rub his chin. "We can't let them fall into their hands."
"Right. To the Thousand Year Door!" Mario said as they took off to the Thousand Year Door.
(BGM ended)
To the Thousand Year Door...
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Hall of the Thousand Year Door)
"So this is the Thousand Year Door..." Kazuha said as he and Koop in awe at the sight.
"Why is it so unnecessarily humongous?" Koops asked
"Unfortunately, we don't know." Luigi said.
"This room certainly has quite some history. So this is the reason why you were supposed to go treasure hunting with Peach?" Kazuha asked
"Yep." Luigi nodded
"Unfortunately, we still couldn't find our culprit." Altina said to Rean.
"Yeah... but I doubt Hooktail or the other people could have. We still need to keep looking." Rean said.
"Alright, you ready?" Mario asked as they nodded.
"Wait!" Levi yelled before pulling his Rotom Phone and hit record. "Okay go."
(BGM ended)
Mario hopped on the pedestal, where the lights shined brightly before the map rose from his pocket and hovered above his head, then a light hit the map before it lowered itself back down where they all looked to the map. Then Levi turn off the recording.
"Where's the next Crystal Star location?" Altina asked, as a few trees, followed by a large tree with white leaves appeared on the map.
"Hmm... it looks like it's inside of a tree." Levi said.
"Let's go ask Professor Frankly. Maybe he'll know." Rean said and thus, they headed back to Frankly's house.
To Frankly's house...
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Professor Frankly's Theme)
"Interesting, very interesting…" Frankly said as he was studying the map.
"Do you know where's the next Crystal Star is located?" Rean asked.
"The Great Boggly Tree, located in the Boggly Woods."
"That's... rather a unique name." Kazuha rub his chin.
"There are these creatures that live within those woods. They're known as Punies. They look like this." Frankly said, scribbling something down and showing them a picture.
"…Say, didn't we see one while we were heading to the Thousand Year Door for the first time?" Luigi asked.
"Yeah, we did." Mario nodded.
"So how do we get to Boggly Woods?" Levi asked
"There's a Warp Pipe that leads to it. Just like Petal Meadows, it's beneath the town."
"I see."
"Oh, that reminds me, professor." Rean said. "Mario got an email from the princess herself. She doesn't know where she's locked up, but she knows that these people called the X-Nauts are also looking for the Crystal Stars."
"Hmm… that can't be good!" Frankly said. "Who knows what'll happen if the Crystal Stars fall into the wrong hands. You oughta get to them first before things get out of hand."
"Right!" Levi nodded. "In that case, we'll head to Boggly Woods immediately. Cya Professor!" Levi waved as they waved and ran toward the warp pipe.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Rogueport Sewer)
They got to the bottom of the sewers and then walked forward where they saw a small little Puni who spotted them and quickly ran into a crack in the wall.
"Did you see that? That was a Puni, wasn't it?" Rean asked.
"Yeah, it definitely look like the one in the picture." Levi nodded.
"Allow me to take care of the bars." Altina said as she summoned Claiomh Solais and then cut the bars, opening a path for them.
They headed into the next room where they noticed the same Puni from before looking at them before it turns around and runs off, but it reaches a dead end.
"Ah crud…" It groaned and then turned to them. "EEEK! Please, don't eat me!"
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Theme of the Punies)
"Whoa, there little guy! We're not gonna hurt or eat you." Levi said.
"Y-you're not?" He asked. "I mean… You guys were just so big and tall that… I wasn't sure if you were gonna step on me or not."
"Like we would do something so cruel to a small adorable bring like you. I can assure you we won't do that." Kazuha said.
"You won't?" He asked as they nodded at him to calm him. "Oh thank heavens!"
"You're one of the Punies who live in Boggly Woods, correct? Why are you out here?" Altina asked
"Ehh?! You guys know about me and my people? Aaah! You're one of those X-Nauts hunting me down aren't you?!"
"The X-Nauts are in Boggy Woods?" Rean asked, turning to the others.
"No, we're not with the X-Nauts. In fact, it's the opposite." Mario said
"Really?"
"Really."
He sighed with relief. "Oh phew... Thank goodness..."
"Do you mind telling us what happen?" Altina asked.
"The X-Nauts invaded my home with my people living in it. They have been making a mess of things and making trouble. So I came down here looking for help."
"I see... Well good thing we're here." Levi smiled.
"Yeah, we'll help drive out those X-Naut guys." Rean nodded
"Really?" The Punie asked.
"Oh yeah! We will help you and the Punies out." Mario nodded
"You guys are awesome! I'm so happy to hear that!"
"Well, if helping the Punies mean we can get the Crystal Star, then I have no reason to decline." Altina said.
"Crystal Star? Now that you mention it. Those guys said the same thing. But we don't know anything about the Crystal Star. But I think the elder might know... oh, by the way, I didn't get your names." He said as they introduce themselves. "Nice names! My name's Punio."
"Nice to meet ya, Punio!" Koops asked.
"You too!"
"So, your home?" Altina asked.
"Oh, right! Follow me, I'll show you the way." Punie said as they started walking. "Oh, hang on, there's a button I need to press." He said as he walked through a hole. "Let's see… where is it… The Elder said it would- -AHA!" He yelled, as a secret passageway opened up for them as they went on through, but not before Kazuha went to grab himself a Damage Dodge badge for himself and then went on his way.
"Pardon me Goombella, but what is this badge?" Kazuha asked.
Goombella peeked out of the pocket. "Ah! That's the Damage Dodge badge. If you equip it and you successfully block an attack, the damage you will receive will decrease."
"I see." Kazuha let out a chuckled.
"…You have a female Goomba in your pants?" Punio asked. "…I know that sounds really weird to say, but REALLY?"
"I wouldn't question it." Mario sighed while Luigi whispered something in Punio's non-existent ear.
"…I am NOT going to question why you had a female Bob-omb, Lil' Sparky, and Cheep Cheep in your pants while you let the Boo go around freely."
"So THAT'S why it smells like gunpowder and fish in here!" Goombella exclaimed.
"I swear, I thought I cleaned that out." Mario sweatdropped as Levi let out a laugh as they all went into the warp pipe.
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Boggly Woods)
"Wow... look at this place... It's so beautiful... Completely serene." Levi said as they hopped out of the Warp Pipe.
"Indeed. The air is fresh here, the smell is pleasant." Kazuha said as he sniff the air. "Ahh... What a breath of fresh air."
"Hmm..." Altina look around. Then she spotted a Tea Kette in the forest. "Is that a Tea Kette?"
"A tea kettle?" Luigi asked.
"That." Altina pointed and they turn and see a floating Tea Ketta floating and hiding behind one of the trees.
"Ah!" Kazuha look surprise. "So they're here too?"
"Who?" Mario asked before heard a small spark of light from the kette blick and Aether and Paimon appeared later. "Wha-!"
"Huh?" Paimon turn and see the group. "Oh hey! Look who's here!"
"Mario, Luigi, Kazuha?" Aether asked before noticing Rean and Aether. "And is that Rean and Levi? Wow, I almost didn't recognize you."
"Hey Aether, Paimon! What the heck are you doing in a place like this?" Levi asked.
"We could be asking you that. Waaait... by any chance did you see us coming out of something?" Paimon asked.
"We did." Rean nodded
"Hmm... I was certain this was a good hiding spot." Aether muttered. "But I trust you guys. I wasn't expecting to see you all again. But..." Aether turn to Altina. "Who's this?"
"This is Altina. She's my partner on a mission. So what brings you guys here?"
"Oh the usual thing, explore." Paimon said.
"We arrive at this place not long ago actually, We decided to camp out here." Aether added
"I'm guessing it has something to do with that Kette?" Levi asked
"That's right. It's no ordinary kette if you notice. But I'll explain another time. So why are you guys here?" Aether asked until they explain it all to him. "Oh no..."
"Ooh treasure! Come on Aether! Why don't we join them? It would definitely sound interesting!" Paimon cheered.
"Oh fine... I'm quite curious as well." Aether sighed as he pick up the Tea Kette and it disappeared "All right, let's go." He said as they walked off together, unaware that in the next area…
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Shadow Sirens)
"Mmmmwee heeheehee! Alright, time to go to work! They should be coming by at any second now." Beldam said. "Now, Vivian, care to recap what was told of us?"
"Yes. We ambush that Mario guy and his friends, beat them up good, and get the Crystal Star along with the map from them. Did I have it all right… or was that terrible?"
"Many terrible things happen to good people. Hehehehe. But you're right on the mark, Vivian! And if my information is correct, they should be coming in this road soon enough for the ambush! It's just a matter of time unti-… Vivian, what is that you are holding?"
"Oh, this?" Vivian held up a necklace. "I found it near that tree over there a while back. Isn't it gorgeous? It's begging me to pick it up~ Do you think it fits me?"
"…Oh, Vivian, you idiot. Picking up someone's garbage in the woods? That's disgusting and greedy!"
"But… it's not garbage. It's-"
"Look how shiny it is! Does that say "gorgeous" to you? No, it spells "ugly". Now if you had a necklace full of skulls, now THAT would be pretty! Now Vivian, bring out that sketch if you would."
"Ehhhh?! Me?! But you're the one who has it! You said it was too important, so you took it!"
"Oh, now you're just telling lies! You had the sketch! You were in charge of it!"
"I was not! You're the one who has it!"
"You were too!
"I was not!"
"You were too!"
"Hmph, you are the most stubborn old hag I have ever met." Vivian said.
"Vivian, I am NOT an old hag! I am young and beautiful while you are the ugliest cretin I have ever laid eyes on."
Vivian jawdropped "Do you have any idea how absurd that sound?"
"Absurd?! Would someone who said something absurd do this?!" She said, yanking the necklace away from Vivian.
"H-hey! Give it back!"
"Guh?" Marilyn looked to see the others walking by, ignoring their conversation. "Guh! Guh!" She said, trying to get their attention, but was ignored. "Guh…"

(Resume Boggly Woods)
"Paimon feel bad for that younger sister." Paimon said.
"Seriously, the nerve of that one." Levi nodded "She may be elderly but she had no right to treat her younger sister like that. Not to mention she's the ugliest."
"Paimon agrees." She said as they kept walking where they were greeted by two Pale Piranhas and a Cleft, but were defeated. They kept going until they saw a big tree in the distance.
"There it is!" Punio exclaimed. "The Great Boggly Tree! Oh, I hope everyone's okay." He said as he scurried about to the tree.
"Wait for us!" Paimon said as they followed him to the tree.
(BGM paused)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost -Great Boggly Tree)
"Whoa… that's HUGE!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed as they walked forward to the huge tree.
"Whoa... Look at the size of it!" Paimon exclaimed.
"Yeah... I have never seen a tree this grand before!" Rean nodded
"Nor have I! I'm so taking a picture of this!" Levi said as he snap a picture of the Great Boggly Tree.
"I've seen plenty of huge trees in my exploration, but honestly, I don't know which one compares is best." Aether mused as they were looking around.
"Hmm?" Altina said as she noticed something and she had towards that direction.
"Huh… this is weird." Punio said, looking at a red metal door.
"What's wrong?" Kazuha asked.
"…This door wasn't here before." He said. "Someone must have installed it! Ugh... I can't open it either..."
"Hmm... the door does look like it was built with technology..." Rean amused as he examine the door. "And the door does look sturdy as well. What should we do now?"
"Hmm... Hmmmmmmm... Oh! I just remembered something!" Punio exclaimed and scurried away while they followed, then follow them was Altina with the FP Plus badge but put it in her pocket. "Hmm…" Punio quietly said. "There should be some kind of entrance somewhere around here."
"An entrance?" Levi asked.
"As in a secret passage?" Altina asked
"Yes, actually! A long time ago, the Puni elder told me about a secret entrance somewhere around here. We can get through there... but... the problem is I don't know where it is. It's not like it's gonna be labeled "Secret Entrance" or anything." Punio quietly said.
"Hmm... well it is a secret entrance, maybe it'd hidden from plain sight?" Aether asked
"Paimon thinks that a possibility." Paimon nodded
"Perhaps it was covered by something." Levi wondered
"…Mmm… oh!" Punio reclaimed
"Thought of something?" Mario asked.
"Yep! It's no doubt covered, but if anyone knows how to uncover something, it's our good friend Madame Flurrie! I know where she lives!" Punio said.
"Flurrie?" Kazuha asked.
"Flurrie is a refined and dignified lady who lives in these woods. She's actually a wind spirit."
"A wind spirit... How interesting. Where is she?"
"She lives in the deepest corner of the woods, I'll take you there."
"Oh, well lead the way, dude!" Koops said as Punio scurried off.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile…
"Ahhh, these woods are the most wonderful in all the world! Building a house here was the GREATEST idea I ever had!" A voice exclaimed in a small humble house somewhere in the woods.
Flurrie giggled. "The peace in this serene woods is far different yet better than the world of lightbulbs I'm used to. And it was so wonderful of those Punies to welcome me into their homes and as their neighbor. Speaking of...when was the last time I got to see those adorable little Punies?" She wondered to herself and chuckled. "Why, it's been such a long time. I best go out, it's a tad stuffy in here and I don't need my makeup running! Now… I just need my…"
She suddenly gasped. "What?! Where is it?! Oh no no no no! This can't be!" She exclaimed.
Outside of the house, a Pale Piranha Plant was talking with another Pale Piranha Plant. "AAAAAAAH! IT'S GONE!" Flurrie yelled, causing the two Piranha Plants to look at the house. "IT'S ACTUALLY GONE! MY… MY…!"
Back with the others…
(Resume Boggly Woods)
"Hmm?" Kazuha turn to the direction to the left.
"Something wrong Kazuha?" Aether asked.
"I thought I heard someone screaming just now. It sounded like a woman."
"A woman all the way out there?" Paimon tilts her head.
"She might be in trouble. Where is she?" Rean asked
"The voice came from that way." Kazuha pointed to the left.
"That's where Flurrie live! Wait, how can you tell is someone's in trouble?" Punio asked
"Kazuha has keen hearing and senses." Levi answered
"Wow, Impressive!" Punio said as he was guiding them to the house, but was greeted by a Dark Puff and a Cleft, but they were taking care of.
"Hmm... how do we get across here?" Punio asked.
"Hmm, allow me." Aether said as he forward his hand as green energy came out, and then a large Green Mushroom sprout out from the ground. Aether jump on the mushroom, giving him an extra jump and land on the upper ledge.
"Wow! So cool!" Punio cheered as he and the others did the same.
"Hmm?" Aether then notice something, but then he close his eyes and then use his elemental sight, then spotted an invisible ? block. "Hang on a moment." He said as he hop toward the tree stumps on the back and then hit the invisible red ? block, and came out was a P-Down, D-Up P Badge. "Huh? What' this?" He asked as he pick it up before returning the others.
"That's a Power Down, Defense Up badge." Goombella popped up from Mario's pocket. "Luckily, it lowers your attack by one."
"…Hmm, I'll keep it for now." Aether said as he equipped it.
Mario hit a ? Block and out came two Quake Hammers for Mario and Luigi to grab.
"Oooh, this looks nice!" Luigi grinned as they walked off where three Dark Puffs tried to ambush them, the group easily took care of them and then Punio pointed to Flurrie's house from a distance.
"There it is! Flurrie's house!" Punio said.
"Oooh, that's a nice little place she's got there!" Mario said as they walked to the house.
"Oh Madame Flurrie!" Punio called out to her as they walked in. "Hellooooo!" He called out, but no one answered.
"Whoa, this whole place is...amazing." Paimon said.
"Seriously." Levi said. "Where did she get all this?"
"Maybe she's rich?" Aether shrug.
"Either way, it doesn't appear Madame Flurrie's home." Altina said
"Maybe she went out for a stroll." Paimon shrug.
"If she was taking a stroll through the woods, we probably would've seen her." Punio said. "…I think." He said as they went up closer. "Madame Flurrie, you home?" He asked again. "I wonder if she's sleeping."
"One way to find out." Rean said as he walked to the door and knocked on it.
"No! You musn't come in!" Flurrie exclaimed.
"Oh, Flurrie! You are home!" Punio said.
"Hmm? Is that you, my darling Punio I hear? Oh, honey, it's been ages! Do you need something dear?"
"Yeah, we need your help! There's this stupid door that is preventing us from going into the Boggly Tree and we can't find the Secret Entrance. And the others are in trouble as well."
"Oh, you caught me at the worst time, darling! I can't go out right now."
"Huh? Why not?" Paimon asked.
"Because I shan't be seen without my necklace!"
"Your… necklace?" Koops sweatdropped.
"Yes! I look hideous without it! I must have accidentally dropped it in the woods without me noticing…"
"A necklace in the woods…" Altina rubbed her chin before she pounded her fist into her palm. "Oh, I remember something! Didn't we see a necklace in the woods being handled by those... witches I believe?"
"Oh yeah!" Levi said. "Those three. Wait, what are they exactly?"
"Don't know, but let's go find them and ask for it back." Mario said as they all nodded.
"Whoever just spoke, if you ever find my necklace, please bring it back to me!" Flurrie requested.
"We will! See ya!" Paimon waved.
"I'll be here!" Flurrie said as they took off running.

Meanwhile, back with the Shadow Sirens…
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Shadow Sirens)
"For the last time I don't even have it you hag!" Vivian pouted.
"ENOUGH" Beldam yelled. "Enough of this bickering!"
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO…" Vivian growled and turned around, folding her arms. "Hmph!"
"Yeah yeah, go ahead and pout. Like that'll do you any good!" Beldam said. "For now, we must study this sketch." Beldam pulled out the sketch of Mario and friends.
Vivian turned her head. "AHA! I TOLD YOU that you had that sketch!"
"Oh shut up!" Beldam said and then put the sketch down. "Hmm… those three boys are quite handsome…" She mused. "The man with the mustache is quite handsome too…"
"Aww, look at the girl, she's so adorable she's like a rabbit doll." Vivian giggled.
"Bah! She look ugly! But I give her credit with the black attire. But what's with the ears and the tail? Her outfit is interesting at least. Is she one of those Demi-humans I been hearing about? Anyway, most of them look famili-ACK! THESE ARE THOSE FOOLS THAT WALKED PAST US!"
"Guh! Guh!" Marilyn said
"VIVIAN, YOU DOLT! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!"
"MY FAULT?! WHO WAS THE ONE THAT WAS BUSY SCOLDING ME THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN NOTICE THEM?!" Vivian yelled.
"YOU STARTED THIS WHOLE MESS!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"DID NOT!"
"DID TOO!"
"Ahem..." Levi's voice said as they turned to see the group standing there with their arms folded.
"Um...how much did you see all of that?" Beldam asked.
"Quite enough." Rean said. "So who are you?"
"We go by many names, but if you insist, we are-"
"The three!" Marilyn spoke up for once.
"Shadow Beauties!" Vivian grinned.
"Shadow Beauties?" Altina asked.
"VIVIAN, YOU IDIOT!" Beldam yelled. "It's Shadow Sirens! I don't remember anything about three beautiful women! I see two beautiful women here, but then there's you who is PLUG-UGLY!"
"But… you call us beauties all the time!"
"IT'S A FIGURE OF SPEECH, YOU FOOL!"
Vivian glared hard at Beldam. "Said the fool who's in denial of age!"
"WHAT! YOU INSOLENT LITTLE!" Beldam suddenly slapped Vivian hard enough to knock her down, leaving a hand print on her cheek. "Oh, I am SO going to punish you for that later, you insolent little twat!"
"The only one who needs to be punished… IS YOU, YOU OLD HAG!" A voice yelled.
"Who dares to call me a hag?!" Beldam turned around… and got punch in the face, courtesy of Levi, launching her straight to a tree to knock her silly.
"Guh!" Marilyn exclaimed.
Levi looked to Vivian. "You okay?" he asked, and then noticed a tear running down Vivian's cheek, then cast healing magic on her cheek, before turning to Beldam. "How dare you hit your sister like that." He got up and got his Glaive out... and he was really pissed.
Beldam got up, glaring at her. "You're gonna pay for that!"
"Leave the old hag to me." Levi growled."I'm gonna make sure she will regret for slapping her sister like that."
"You should stay out of the fight." Aether said as he place his hand on Vivian's shoulder. "You don't deserve that kind of treatment."
"Fine! We can do this without that freak! Marilyn! Let's show these imbeciles what the Shadow Sirens can do!" Beldam declared
"Guh!" Marilyn salite
(BGM ended)
(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - The Shadow Sirens Battle)
"We'll handle the other one then." Rean said as he, Mario and Luigi begin to face her while Levi will face Beldam.
"Okay, so… what you should know here is Marilyn has lightning magic and can buff herself up while Beldam has a variety of magic that can knock you senseless if you're not careful!" Goombella said from her tattle log.
"Got it!" Levi said as he readied himself and then launch himself o Beldam who use her magic to block his attack, but then roll over and let out a spiral slash on Beldum's back.
While Rean readied himself and launch to Marilyn who launch a punch at Rean, but dodged it and counter it with a X slash. Marilyn was push back while Mario readied his hammer and then hammer Marliyn's cheek, follow up with Luigi's combo punch and finish it with a kick on Marliyn's face.
"Guh guh!" Marilyn exclaimed, powering herself up before unleashing a powerful thunderbolt on the Bros while Beldam went underground and then reappeared in front of Levi, Ice punching him in the gut before going back under and appearing behind Marilyn once more.
Levi swirl his Glaive who smirked then use Penetrated Throw Beldam and Marilyn while Mario and Luigi looked at each other with a nod and brought out their Quake Hammers to where they hammered the ground and knocking the Shadow Sirens senseless….
"Yagh!" Beldam cried.
"Guh!" Marliyn cried
Marilyn came up in front of Luigi and tried to punch him, but he Super Guarded at the right time and knocked her back, to which she came back to Beldam who unleashed a blizzard on them, which froze Levi.
"Aha! Gotcha!" Beldam smirked... only to short lasted as Levi broke free. "What?!"
"It takes more then that to freeze me." Levi rolled his eyes before he use Vortex Plunder and sucking Beldam and Marlyn in.
"Hey, why are we being suck in?!" Beldam exclaimed before Levi launched himself into the air and then plunger attack, with edge of his Glaive strike on her and Marlinyn. "Gah!"
Rean use his Gale Craft on them while Mario and hammer swing Beldam's face and launch her toward with Marliyn's and knock onto the tree, which of course, knocking out Marilyn.
"Guh…" Marilyn groaned before falling down.
"You gotta be kidding me." Beldam growled then she snapped her fingers as Luigi went tiny.
"Ack!" He cried, but his tiny self was short lived when Levi use Tornado Dance on Beldam to knock her out, which in turn, got rid of the tiny spell for Luigi and drop Flurries necklace. "Thank you!"
"No problem." Levi high five Luigi who high five him back.

(Resuming Shadow Sirens)
"Let that be a lesson to you, you old hag. Hurt and treat your sister like that again, I will not hesitate to strike you down!" Levi warned with a menacing glare.
"Urgh… this isn't over!" Beldam said as she and Marilyn disappeared from view.
"Are you all right?" Kazuha asked
"Yeah… I will be." Vivian said.
"Why does your sister treat you that way?" Paimon asked.
Vivian sighed. "I honestly don't know… I just wish she wasn't like this." She said.
"I think you deserve better." Rean said. "If your sisters continue to treat you that way, I think you should stay away from them."
"But they're my family!"
"Do family members treat their siblings like trash?" Aether asked. "They don't. All we saw is they don't care about you."
"He's right. They bully you and they treat you like trash. They're not a real family. A real family is built on love and trust. Not by blood." Rean nodded
Vivian said nothing.
"Maybe you should think through of all of this." Luigi suggested.
"Yeah." Levi nodded. "You may have to ask yourself if you really belong to those wretches or not."
"If you do decide to run away and bump into us, we'll welcome you with open arms." Aether grinned.
"...Thanks..." Vivian grinned before disappearing.

"She seems like a nice girl...I don't know why they do those awful things to her." Kazuha said as he picked up the necklace. "Well, we got the necklace."
"That's well and good and all... but Paimon feel so sorry for her." Paimon said.
"Come on, let's go take that necklace back. There's nothing we can do now." Punio said
The group made their way back to Flurries's house. As soon as they got back to Flurrie's house, Kazuha knocked on the door of Flurrie's room. "Excuse me, Madame Flurrie? We got your necklace."
"Oh good! Just place it in front of the door, no one mustn't see me like this!" Flurrie ordered as Kazuha nodded and placed it down as he walked away, and then Flurrie grabbed it and quickly shut the door. "Ah, at long last, my necklace is here. Now, let us make a grand entrance!" She said with a chuckle as a disco ball appeared above them.

"What the heck!? She's naked?!" Paimon exclaimed before turning to the screen. "Hey! What are you all looking at? Cover your eyes!"
"And why are you covering my eyes?" Altina asked, uncovering Rean's hand from her eyes.
"Mmm, it feels good to get out of my room." Flurrie said and then looked at them. "So..." She looked seductively at the boys. "Who shall I thank for rescuing my necklace?" She asked, as all the boys took a step back...except for Luigi. "Ah..."
"Wait, what are you-"
"Get ready to pucker up~" Flurrie grinned as she basically shoved everyone out of the way and started kissing Luigi, as the poor plumber was flailing his arms and there were muffled screams as well.
"Mama mia!" Mario exclaimed.
"At least have the poor guy breathe!" Paimon exclaimed.
"Is this the part where I take pity on him?" Altina sweatdrop.
Flurrie parted from Luigi.
"Mama mia..." He said before collapsing as Paimon and Altina were right near him.
"Ah! Is he okay?!" Paimon asked.
Altina examine Luigi. "He's okay."
"Thank you all for retrieving my necklace. I feel like a movie star has come back from retirement!" Flurrie chuckled.
"Oh? You're a movie star? That would explain the house." Aether nervously laughed.
"Now that you're back, we need your help." Punio said.
"Ah yes, you said something about helping you uncover the Secret Entrance? Of course! Lead the way." Flurrie said while Koops looked toward Mario's pocket.
"Hey, you got any room in there?" Koops asked
"The more the merrier!"
"Sorry about this." Koops said and jumped in. "Oh my! It's quite roomy in here!"
"I know, right?!"
"…This is so weird…" Mario groaned.

(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door ost - Great Boggly Tree)
They got to the Great Boggly Tree where they then reached where the supposed Secret Entrance would be, and with a big mighty huff, Flurrie unleashed her wind, with the cover flying off… and there they saw it. A Secret Entrance with a big neon sign that said "Secret Entrance" right above the entrance. Cue everyone but Flurrie sweatdropping at this.
"Really Elder? Really?" Punio sweatdropped as he scurried inside the entrance.
"Hmm hmm hmm… aren't Punies just the cutest?" Flurrie asked. "Back in my day, I used to be quite the movie star."
"Oh right, you mention something like that. Are you retired?" Paimon asked.
"That's right. I was the pop sensation of the movie world, but I grew weary of show business and decided to retire and live in the Boggly Woods near the adorable Punies."
"I see. Considering the beauty of these woods, I do not blame you." Kazuha chuckled and then they heard a door opening up.
"Hey! I unlocked it!" Punio exclaimed. "Let's go!"
"Hmm hmm hmm… who knows where this adventure will take us?" Flurrie wondered as they all joined Punio and went into the Boggly Tree together.
I remember the good times with Madame Flurrie as a partner. She was pretty much the strongest out of everyone and she's pretty amazing herself. I was planning on having Kazuha take the fall... but then again... No, because- wait I shouldn't be spilling secrets! Oh yeah. HAAAAAPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
