Rogueport (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Hmph…Rogueport looks pathetic." Cobra said. "A rundown town that should've been burned a long time ago."
"Whoa whoa whoa! Let's not get too crazy!" Goombella exclaimed. "Sure, this town sucks, but it's not entirely bad!"
"Whatever you say." Cobra said as they started walking when Mario's SP mailbox went off.
"I wonder what Peach is saying?" Mario wondered as he opened it as they all took a look.
Dear Mario, TEC has told me to flee…and I am fleeing for my life. However, I am going to take Rosalina back even if it means getting thrown into my room again. I am not giving up and neither should you. If you are wondering where I am, I am on the moon and I will see you again. Mario, I have something to tell you. In order to wake up the demon, they need- The message was cut off.
"They need WHAT?" Natsu asked. "Come on, Peach! What's the big idea?!"
"They have reception up in the moon?" Happy asked.
"Huh, who knew?" Carla shrugged.
"Whatever the case is…" Laxus folded his arms. "Peach seemed to have been cut off by something."
"I imagine it was Grodus." Mokou said.
"Hmph…he's going to die a horrible death once I'm through with him." Worldwalker said. "Let's go." He said as they took off to The Thousand Year Door, but before they could, Rogue looked at at treasure chest on a platform.
"Hey uh…have any of you noticed this before?" He asked as they all stopped to look at it.
"Huh, I never noticed that." Mario said as he and Luigi jumped up and opened it to reveal Ultra Hammers.
"Oh sweet!" Luigi said.
"Heheh, awesome!" Mario grinned as they hopped down.
"Ultra Hammers, huh?" Worldwalker asked. "Nice." He said as they then went to The Thousand Year Door.
Thousand Year Door (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
Cobra looked at the Thousand Year Door. "Hmm…" He said.
"What are you thinking about?" Bobbery asked.
"Hmph…I hear something beyond these doors." Cobra replied. "I don't know who it is though."
"You're probably just hearing things." Bobbery said as he walked away.
Help! HEEELP! MAAARIO! The voice rang in Cobra's ears.
Is this…Peach? Cobra wondered as he noticed the map floating down to Mario as they all walked up to take a look, as a base popped up on the moon.
"So the last Crystal Star is at the moon?" Nitori asked.
Natsu smirked. "Let's go save Peach." He chuckled.
Professor Frankly (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"SO PEACH IS ON THE MOON?!" Frankly yelled. "That's mighty interesting!"
"It is." Erza nodded.
"So how are we going to get there?" Lucy asked. "A rocket?" She then glanced at Yukari. "Yukari?"
"Pfft, gapping there will save us time, but honestly…where's the fun in that?"
"Here we go…" Hikari sighed.
"The best place you can get to the moon is going to Fahr Outpost…but I have no idea where that leads to. For all we know, it could be right under our noses." Frankly said.
"Well, there's a block next to the entrance of Twilight Town." Mario said. "Fahr Outpost could be there."
"Maybe…but we may never know." Frankly shrugged. "Anyway, go find the entrance to Fahr Outpost!" He said as they all nodded and took off.
Rogueport Sewers (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"According to my tattle log, you can destroy this block with your ultra hammers." Goombella said.
"Boring." Minene said as she placed C-4 all around it and pulled out a trigger with a smirk.
"Of course, you'd do it your way." Youmu sighed.
"Of course." Minene grinned and then pressed a button, causing it to explode and caused Western Rogueport to rumble.
"Did anyone else feel that?" A Goomba asked as a few Koopas and Toads nodded.
"Well that's one way to destroy something." Rogue said.
"Fro thinks so too!"
"Let's-a go!" Mario said as they all hopped into the warp pipe.
Fahr Outpost (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
As soon as they got out of the warp pipe…they were greeted by snow. "Mama mia! Did we end up in Antartica or something?!" Luigi exclaimed.
"Huh, I could get used to this." Gray said.
"For you, maybe…" Minene shuddered. "I picked the wrong outfit for this."
"You haven't changed out of that outfit since you were in Glitzville!" Youmu said.
"I don't think any of us have." Minene said as she glanced at Erza. "Maybe except for her."
Lucy was shivering non-stop. "Why must it be frozen tundra? I'd rather be walking in a desert than be a frozen popcicle!"
"Then maybe you should have a different outfit, princess." Virgo appeared in front of her.
"V-Virgo?" Lucy asked.
"I've made winter outfits for everyone." She grinned as she immediately put outfits on for everyone, including Gray.
"Now this is more like it." Sting grinned.
"Ah, toasty warm." Happy chuckled.
"Is this necessary for me?" Gray asked.
"This is better than freezing my legs off." Minene said.
"See ya!" Virgo waved and then disappeared.
"Hmph. Not bad." Cobra said as they kept walking.
"I don't know why I need a winter coat, I can warm myself up just fine." Natsu said.
"Same here." Mokou shrugged. "I guess it's just to humor Virgo, I suppose."
"Well, it's something, I'll give her that." Worldwalker said. "Though, I find it hilarious that the God of the Underworld is wearing a winter outfit."
"Hey, even we gods have a tolerance for the weather." Hades said as they made it to the Fahr Outpost as they saw a sign that read 'We have a cannon that can blast people to the moon!'
"Convenient." Mario said as they kept walking until they met up with the Bob-omb mayor.
"Excuse me…do you by chance have a cannon that can take us to the moon?" Worldwalker asked.
"Cannon? We have no such thing!"
"Excuse me, but the last time I was here, I SAW a cannon here. Do not deny it." Bobbery said.
The mayor grumbled. "Fine, we do. Why do you want to go to the moon?" He asked as they explained the situation. "I see…well, you need to have two things. One, permission from Goldbob and a key from General White." He said. When 'General White' was mentioned, Worldwalker let out a low growl.
"Didn't we see a gold Bob-omb on the Excess Express?" Youmu asked.
"We did." Hikari said.
Yukari made a gap. "Anyone up for Poshley Heights?"
"I'll go." Mario said as he walked in, and was soon followed by Natsu, Mokou and Sting.
"We have hot chocolate in the inn if you want some." The mayor said.
"Well, don't mind if we do." Worldwalker chuckled as they walked into the inn.
"Well, this is one way to warm up." Juvia said as she was right next to Gray while Worldwalker sat down on a box as Link and Luigi looked at it.
"Does that box look familiar?" Luigi asked.
"It kind of does." Link said. "Hey, you mind getting up?"
"Uh, sure." Worldwalker said as he got off and Link picked up the box to look at a familiar face, followed by a familiar "!" sound.
"You mind telling me what the heck you're doing here, Snake?" Link asked.
"Hmph, like I'd tell a fairy boy what I'm doing." Snake said.
Link raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh…"
"Right now, I'm on a top secret mission." Snake said. "I just came here to get some boxes." He said. "Though…I may have bought one too many."
"Get some boxes? I thought you had an unlimited supply." Luigi said.
"I don't." Snake shook his head.
"Mind if I have one?" Worldwalker asked.
Snake shrugged. "Know yourself out. It's not like I don't need that one." He said as he gave it to him.
"You know, you could've gotten boxes in a different area." Link said.
"Perhaps…" Snake rubbed his chin before shrugging it off. "Well, I'll see you around…maybe." He said, turning on his octocamo and left, right when Yukari walked through the gap with the others.
"You guys just missed Snake." Link said.
"He was here? Huh...interesting." Mario said before shrugging it off. "Anyway, we got the permission slip from Goldbob."
"Now we just need to find General White." Worldwalker said as Yukari made another gap as he, Laxus, Rogue, Sting, Lucy and Luigi walked in the gap.
Petal Meadows (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"That's odd…" Luigi said. "I remember seeing a white Bob-omb when we came here at the start of our journey." He said.
And so it begins… Worldwalker thought as Laxus spotted a Koopa walking around.
"Hey, you. Do you know where General White is?" He asked.
"General White? Yeah, he said something about an island."
"Keelhaul Key?" Lucy asked.
"Well let's head there." Luigi said as they went into the gap.
Keelhaul Key (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Uh…something about this place feels different." Lucy said. "I can't put my finger on it…"
"I think I saw Komachi here at one point." Yukari said.
"Ah, so she was here gathering souls." Worldwalker said as they walked around and saw Pa-Patch and a few Toads just walking around. "You guys stayed behind?"
"Well, this place grew on us." Pa-Patch said. "What can we do for ya?"
"We came to find General White." Rogue said.
"He was here, but he said something about an arena."
"An arena? That could probably mean the Grand Magic Games." Rogue said.
"Or it could also mean Glitzville." Luigi said.
"That too." He said as they went into the gap.
Glitzville (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
Laxus blinked as he looked at the still ruined Glitzville. "…Natsu?"
"Natsu." Lucy nodded.
Laxus chuckled. "Leave it to that knucklehead…" He said as they walked to the juice bar as they saw Jolene.
"Hey Jolene! Have you seen General White?" Luigi asked.
"I did, but he said something about a big humongous tree." Jolene replied, as an anime tic mark appeared on Worldwalker's forehead while some static electricity came out of Laxus's arm. He was getting annoyed.
Theme of the Punies (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"So, this is what the inside of a tree looks like?" Sting asked.
"Not what I had in mind." Rogue said as Luigi and Lucy walked up to Punio and asked about General White.
"He was here alright…but he said he had to go to some…dark place." He said.
"Twilight Town." Luigi sighed as Lucy turned her head to see electricity striking out of Laxus's body.
Oh dear… Lucy thought.
Twilight Town (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)
"Yes…General White was here." A Twilighter said. "But now he took off to…um…he said a very cold place. Don't know why he would." He said as he noticed electricity coming out of Laxus. "Should I be worried?"
"Let's not worry about it." Lucy said as they headed back to Fahr Outpost.
Fahr Outpost
"So you couldn't find him?" Mario asked.
"Unfortunately, no." Sting said, glancing at Laxus. "And this guy looks like he's about to explode."
"Um, guys? I think see General White." Mokou got their attention as they looked out the window to see a tired Bob-omb walking in the building.
"…" Laxus clenched his fists. "I'll be right back." He growled as he walked out and slammed the door behind him, causing Lucy to shudder.
"He can be quite scary when he's angry." Lucy said.
"I'm battening down the hatches." Levy said. "This is going to get ugly."
"Take cover! Laxus is about to explode!" Happy hid under the bed as Lector and Frosch soon joined him.
"He's not going to explode…" Lily said, but then he heard the crack of thunder as he yelped and hid under the covers too.
"He's afraid of lightning?" Hikari asked as Youmu watched lightning bolts shoot out all over the place, causing her to sweatdrop.
"I'd hate to be General White…" She said as Laxus then came out with a fried General White and he then threw him into the inn.
"Agh…" General Guy groaned.
"You feel better now?" Lucy asked.
"Yes." Laxus nodded.
General Guy got up. "So you want to get to the moon?" He asked as they nodded. "Alright, let's get you to the moon before Thunder head over here fries me with electricity."
"Good." Laxus nodded as they walked up to the center of town.
"Wait here." General White said as he walked in.
"So uh, why are we going to wait here?" Nitori asked.
"I have no idea." Gray said.
"Alright, Bob-ombs! To your positions!" The mayor ordered as General White hopped in his seat.
"Alright, let's do this." He said as a trap door opened up underneath them.
"Hey uh…does it feel like you're walking on air?" Natsu asked.
"Probably." Sting said as he looked down. "Oh…"
"Well, this is going to be a hard landing." Rogue said as they all fell in.
"Are the conditions set?" General White asked.
"Yes. There's absolutely NO wind to interfere." A Bob-omb said.
"Good, now let's fire this baby up." General White grinned as he pressed a button.
Buoy Base Galaxy (Super Mario Galaxy)
"Like I said before, the conditions are perfect." The Bob-omb said.
"Let's bring it out." General White said as the cannon slowly rose from the ground.
"Gah! Everyone's crushing me!" Happy groaned. "Lucy! You're too big!"
"WHY ARE YOU BLAMING ME?!" Lucy yelled.
"Are they going to bring us any food?" Yuyuko asked.
"How can you think of food at a time like this?!" Minene exclaimed once the cannon was fully out and it was aimed at the moon.
"Alright boys! Load it up!" The mayor ordered as a lot of Bob-ombs were piling in, and then the hatch closed.
"Ready…" General White began.
"I think I landed on my leg wrong." Hades said.
"I can't even breathe!" Wendy complained.
"Aim…"
"Gajeel! Your elbow is puncturing me!" Levy told him.
"I'd move it IF SALAMANDER WASN'T SITTING ON TOP OF ME!"
"I thought I was on top of Rogue!"
"No, Yukino's on top of me." Rogue said. "Although someone is squirming underneath me."
"That'd be me…" Wendy gasped for air.
"Stay strong, Wendy!" Carla said.
"FIRE!" General White yelled as everyone was shot out of the cannon, while the Bob-ombs were cheering. "Good luck out there!"
Meanwhile…
Comet Observatory (Super Mario Galaxy)
"That's odd…the X-Nauts have stopped attacking us." Polari said.
"I guess they gave up…now if we can just get mama to safety." A Luma sighed.
"Guys! I'm picking up on several objects headed right for us!" A Red Luma exclaimed as Polari went over to take a look.
"Those aren't objects…they're people! And two of them are Mario and Luigi!"
"Should we pull them in?"
"Of course! Turn on the gravitational pull!" Polari ordered as a Luma nodded and took off.
Whatever you do, don't test Laxus's patience.
