Twilight Trail (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Hey! Wait up!" A voice called out as the four of them turned to see Vivian running up to them.

"Oh, you're that fire user from the Shadow Sirens, right?" Worldwalker asked.

"Yeah." She nodded. "Mind if I join you? I'm done with my sister's crap, anyway."

"Sure, we don't mind at all." Yukari said. "We're headed back to the Creepy Steeple."

"Headed back? What for?"

"My best friend is acting weirder than usual." Yukari replied.

"Weirder than usual...?" Vivian tilted her head.

"Yeah. She's always out there, but earlier she acted really...odd. We're going back over there to see what's up." She explained. "I don't believe for a fact that she'd turn the Twilighters, Hades or Happy into pigs."

"Huh..." Vivian folded her arms. "Interesting." She said and then nodded. "Well, let's go check it out then."

"Let's go." Youmu said as they took off back to the Creepy Steeple.

Creepy Steeple (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Let's see...I have a feeling that maybe Yuyuko is trapped in here." Mokou said.

"Yeah." Youmu nodded.

"Maybe we can dig up some interesting artifacts in here and sell them to Rogueport while we're at it." Worldwalker said. ...And maybe find myself a ring while I'm at it. He smirked.

"What's with the smirk? You thinking of something?" Mokou asked.

"Just finding artifacts that look all cool and awesome." Worldwalker replied.

"Ah, okay." Mokou nodded as they walked into the Creepy Steeple as Vivian noticed the icy stairs.

"What's with the ice?" Vivian asked.

"Gray." Yukari replied.

"Ah." She nodded.

"Hold on, what's in there?" Youmu asked, pointing to a small crawlspace.

"I'll go take a look." Vivian said as she went underground, as she then came back up a minute later. "Well, the only thing I found worthwhile is this dusty cookbook."

"Who leaves a cookbook in a place like this?" Youmu asked.

"I have no idea." Mokou said as Worldwalker took it and put it away.

"Might as well give this to the grumpy cook in Rogueport." He said as they kept walking around until they noticed the statue in front of them. "I think this is hiding something."

"You think?" Mokou asked.

"Yep." He nodded as he gave it a push. "Well don't just stand there, help me out here!" He said as Youmu, Yukari, Mokou and Vivian helped him and then it moved, as it revealed a hole underneath the statue.

"A secret passageway?" Youmu asked.

"Well, this just got more interesting." Mokou said as they all hopped down to see a door as they walked in...except for Worldwalker as he looked at a certain wall.

"Hmm..." He said as he pulled out his sword and slashed it several times, as it turned out to be paper and just fell to the ground. "Ah, the good ol' fake." He chuckled as he walked through a secret passage way to see some artifacts, gold and rubies. "Oh, jackpot!" He smirked as he knelt down with the sword in his hand. "Time to create something awesome."

With the ladies, they were walking until they came across a locked door. "Oh, this door is locked." Vivian said.

Mokou's fist burned up. "Stand aside, girls. I'll bust this down." She said and then punched the door, not exactly as powerful as Natsu, but it was enough to destroy the lock and causing the door to swing open...also making a dent in the door.

"Nice." Yukari said.

Mokou grinned. "That was nothing." She said as they walked forward and saw someone chained to a wall. Yuyuko.

Organization XIII (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Lady Yuyuko!" Youmu exclaimed.

"H-huh...?" Yuyuko looked up. "Youmu! Yukari! Mokou!"

"Don't worry, we'll bust you out." Yukari said as Mokou walked up the chains and put her hands on them, then started burning them until they were scalding hot, and then she kicked them to shatter the chains that held Yuyuko and then she collapsed, but Yukari and Youmu caught her.

"Um, Mokou? There was a key right here." Vivian held it up.

"Oh, I didn't even notice it." Mokou shrugged.

Vivian shrugged. "Oh well." She said as she tossed it behind her.

"I...I was looking for you." Yuyuko told Youmu. "I was so lonely that I went looking for you."

"You do know that she was invited to the Glitz Pit, right?" Yukari asked.

"I know...but, I thought she'd come back after a little while, I got really worried so I went looking..."

"You wanted me back." Youmu said.

Tears ran down Yuyuko's cheeks. "Yes." She nodded. "I had no one to talk to, I just wanted you back so we can hang out like always."

"Well, we're here now." Youmu smiled. "That's all that matters."

"Yeah." She nodded.

"I've been in here for so long...that the parrot right over there was the only thing keeping me company." She said, pointing over the parrot. "But he wasn't paying attention to anything I'd say, all he'd say is something about this...Doopliss guy."

"Doopliss?" Mokou wondered. "Oh! That imposter we fought earlier!"

"Wait, he dressed like me?" Yuyuko asked.

"Yeah." Youmu nodded.

Yuyuko wiped the tears from her eyes and clenched her fists. "That's completely unacceptable." She said. "Come on, we're going to teach that guy a lesson or two." She said.

"Uh, do you know where he is?" Yukari asked.

"...Not really."

"Come on, we'll show you where he is." Youmu said and then got up.

"Alright, let's go take this guy out." Vivian said and then turned her head. "...Hey, where's Worldwalker?" She wondered.

Laughter and Merriment (Kingdom Hearts II)

"Just a little more..." Worldwalker said and then grinned. "This is perfect!" He said, looking at the ring he created. The ring was completely gold with small rubies lining on one side. The gem on top was a ruby cut into the shape of the flame.

He then looked at the engraving of the ring. "May the flames of our love burn forever bright." It read as he smiled. "Perfect." He said as he put it in his pocket and then put his sword away. Mokou's gonna love this. He thought as he walked out with some artifacts in hand as he met up with the girls.

"Where were you?" Youmu asked.

"I've discovered some artifacts in there." He replied with a smile.

"Cool." Mokou said as they then went back up and then ran off to Doopliss's room.

Meanwhile...

The Thousand Year Door (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"I wonder what's keeping them." Minene wondered.

"Oh, they probably got caught up with sightseeing." Lucy said.

"That's...odd." Mario said. "The map isn't floating up."

"Is this thing busted?" Natsu knelt down in the pedestal. "Maybe it's out of batteries."

"How can an ancient pedestal run on batteries?" Gray asked.

"Let me take a look at this Crystal Star." Gajeel said as he yanked it out of Luigi's hand. "Hmm, it shines like one." He said. "Maybe the pedestal is being stubborn."

"Something's not right." Erza folded her arms. "What could it be?" She wondered as they heard something crack as they noticed Gajeel just completely shattering the Crystal Star.

"AAAAH! YOU BROKE IT!" Happy yelled.

"Hmm..." He walked over to the Diamond Star and picked it up, as he used his strength to try to crush it, but it wasn't cracked. "Just as I thought." Gajeel said as he put it down. "It had the same effects as the other Crystal Stars, but...we were given a fake."

"WHAT?!" Natsu yelled.

"We've been tricked." Erza growled. "The real one is with Yuyuko..."

Natsu pounded his fists. "Oh, I am going to pummel her AGAIN!" He yelled and took off as they all followed.

Back with the others...

"The jig is up, Doopliss." Worldwalker said.

"Hmm?" The fake Yuyuko turned around. "What did you ca-" He spotted the real Yuyuko. "Uh oh."

"It's over." Yuyuko said as Doopliss turned back to his normal self.

"How did you figure out my real name?!"

"Your parrot."

Doopliss growled. "That loudmouth..." He said and then he smirked. "Luckily, I was able to catch your friends attacks." He said as he transformed into Natsu. "Let's do this."

"Way ahead of you." Mokou said as they got ready for battle.

Doopliss Battle (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Doopliss ran up to them with his fists blazing and punched them, but they dodged as Youmu slashed him several times as Yuyuko floated up. "Spirit Sign: Ageless Dream!" She said.

"Human Sign: Slash of Present World." Youmu said.

"Fantasy: Perpetual Motion Machine of the First Kind!" Yukari exclaimed.

"You little punks..." Doopliss growled as he ran over straight for Mokou and punched her, but she ducked and sweep kicked him to the ground as she then kicked him in the face, followed by a burning punch. "GAH!" He growled. "FIRE DRAGON'S IRON FIST!" He yelled, punching Mokou as she blocked it and then smirked.

"You're not as powerful as the real guy!" She said and then drop kicked him. "Imperishable Shooting!" She said.

Vivian aimed her hand at Doopliss. "Fiery Jinx!" She said as Doopliss yelled in agony as he then transformed into Youmu and ran over straight for Youmu as she ran over to him and they both slashed each other several times, but then Youmu took out her other sword.

"What the...?!" He exclaimed as Youmu slashed upward to disarm up and then slashed him several times followed by firing a danmaku bullet to the face as she was then joined by Worldwalker and he was slashed several times. "You fools...i'm not DONE yet..." He growled, transforming into Mario as he ran up and hammered Yuyuko, but she grabbed the hammer and threw it to the side.

"Shall we finish him off?" She asked, looking at Youmu and Yukari.

"Oh yeah." Youmu smirked.

"Let's do it." Yukari said as the three of them flew over to him.

"W-wait a second! Time out!" Doopliss exclaimed, looking very afraid.

"Butterfly Sign: Deadly Lance of the Swallowtail Butterfly Crest!" Yuyuko said.

"Spirit Cutting Sword: Slash of Ascension to Buddhahood!" Youmu exclaimed.

"Barrier: Boundary of Life and Death!" Yukari exclaimed as Doopliss was hit by pretty much everything as he screamed in agonizing pain and then fell to the ground in defeat, changing back to his normal self and then the REAL Crystal Star appeared in front of them.

Creepy Steeple

"Wait...is this the real one?" Youmu asked. "If this is the real Crystal Star...would that mean..."

"Oh dear." Worldwalker sweatdropped.

Doopliss got up. "You're a bunch of killjoys, you know that?!" He growled as he jumped out of the window.

"Did he just...?" Mokou wondered as they went over to see him running off as they then noticed the others running towards the Creepy Steeple.

"GUYS! DON'T LET HIM ESCAPE! HE'S THE ONE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THIS!" Youmu yelled.

"What?!" Natsu glared at Doopliss who was running in front of them and trying to escape, but Erza grabbed him.

"So...you gave us a fake Crystal Star, huh?" She glared at him.

Doopliss gulped. "Um..."

"Come on, let's go." Erza said as she dragged him to Twilight Town.

"We're going to humiliate him in front of the whole town, aren't we?" Mokou asked.

"Oh yes we are." Worldwalker smirked as they walked out of the Creepy Steeple and then ran off to catch up with the others.

If it weren't for the maintenance, this would've been up around 11 AM yesterday. *shrug* Ah well. Let's just pretend like the maintenance never happened.
