I waited until people stopped entering the building, and exited. I wanted to make sure nobody was going to get hurt, and I didn't want Olivia to see me like this.

Not again.

When I exited, Dimentio had a portal open that was being fed by the Dragon of Darkness' beam. He was standing in front of Fawful's fallen body, protecting it from any further damage.

She stopped firing at him. "Give up, Didi! You're worthless!" She flew down and smacked him away with her tail. I could tell Dimentio had already received quite a beating. His poncho was stained with dirt and his mask had been shattered beyond repair.

His hair was also undone, it coming not much lower than while it was in a ponytail. He had a few scrapes on him as well.

"Dimentio!" I ran over to him and helped him up. "It's time for you to take Fawful and leave! She stole his Dark Star, and now she wants the rest of your powers!"

Dimentio picked up Fawful, tossed the Beanish over his shoulder and started towards the tower. "What about you? She's too strong, even for me!"

"Just get out of here!"

"R-right." He went through the broken-down doors into the building.

"Look at that, King Olly's finally returned. Didn't want to see your friends die?"

"I did it to protect them," I said, panting.

"What are you going to do, fold me?!" She charged up her beam again.

I grabbed her throat with my thousand-fold arms before she could finish, and the light in her mouth died out.

"Grak!" She sank her teeth into my arm.

"Aah! Stop it!" I tossed her aside. My arm folded back, and I had two gaping holes in my arm where she had bitten me. My arm was turning a dark purple, purple running up my arm like when Vambrace started melting the first time. My arm was shaking, and it was in pain. The pain wasn't just from the bite, either.

"Hahahaha!" She turned around and stood. She took back to the skies. "You didn't know I could infect you with the Beast Form? You'll be cursed, but you'll follow my orders."

I could feel the blood running down my forehead from the horns, but that was the least of my concerns. If she could control me, it would be a game over for everyone.

I saw Vambrace glow dimly for the first time since being a part of the Dragon of Darkness.

"Sprout...You must...do it...to beat...her, please..."

"Why aren't you controlled yet?!"

"That's the...the thing," I said. Apparently, entering the Beast Form was more painful than I had originally thought. I was also fighting to stay in control at the same time, which wasn't helping. "You can't control me...when I can do the same trick you can...!"

"How?!" She charged me instead. I had to fold myself larger so I could battle her better without being squashed.

She charged head-first at me, pointing her four horns to the sky. I held out my arm to defend, and she crashed into me, pushing both of us back.

I found out I had a tail, and used it to push myself off of the building to slow our momentum faster and prevent from crashing into it. If she hit that building, the whole thing would come tumbling down.

I noticed Mario still hammering away at Bowser's back. "Mario! Is he good yet?!"

Mario stopped, and Bowser got up. "Whatever you did last time worked better-WOAH WHAT?!"

"Yah!" Mario responded. His jaw dropped open.

"I don't care what I look like right now-!" She chomped my arm again. "Bowser, you wanna be big again?!"

"What, like when I kicked your butt?!"

"But bigger!" I shoved her back, but she crashed into me again. I crashed into the building, the glass from the windows shattering behind me. The shards of glass cut my back, shoulder, and legs; but I had the Dragon of Darkness to worry about still.

"What are you saying?! Big like when I fought Peaches' castle when Fawful turned it into a robot?!"

"I had no idea he did that," I said. "But yeah!" I used the building as support and put on foot on her face.

My Beast Form was apparently a Caytur, but whatever...

I turned her head away from me with my hoof, and I heard a crack. I was afraid I had broken her neck when the building started caving in, with everybody inside of it. I heard screaming and the patters of people fleeing.

"No, no, no!" The building collapsing had thrown me off-balance, so I couldn't catch myself to save everyone.

"Olly, fold me!"

That was surprising to hear from Bowser, but that's when I saw Bowser's father figure, Kamek, in the group. I quickly used the last of my energy I was saving for killing the dragon to fold Bowser into a giant.

I grabbed onto the Dragon of Darkness' leg, also throwing her off-balance. Bowser propped the building up, stopping it from collapsing. At least, temporarily.

"Thanks, Bowser!" She bit my leg. "OW!"

She spat out fur, and smacked my arm off of her leg with her tail and took off again.

"I should thank you! Thank goodness Junior isn't here..."

I stood back up and helped Bowser keep the building up for a bit longer until everybody was able to evacuate. He picked up the building and tossed it aside. He folded back into his normal size.

"Hey, wait! What happened?!"

"Sorry, Bowser! This is my battle now." I gently moved him away with my foot.

"Brother!"

I looked, and Olivia tossed me my sword I had lost when she first attacked me. I caught it by the hilt with my tail. "Thank you, Olivia!"

"Don't thank her yet!" Daisy shouted. "She's coming towards us!"

"Oh no, she doesn't." I scooped up some rubble from the Tower of Darkness with my tail and tossed it up. I jumped and kicked it at her face, a metal pole stabbing her in the eye.

She screeched and crashed to the ground. She pulled it out of her eye and growled at me. She slowly creeped towards me as I was healing my arm.

"Oh butterscotch."

She tackled me again.

"DIE!"
