Excess Express at Day (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Sora woke up and walked out of his cabin...only to see everyone out in the hallway, just talking. "What's up?" He asked.

"Well, for some strange reason...it seems everyone just vanished. The waitress wasn't in the dining car, neither was Chef Shimi." Koops said.

"When I went over to find Pennington, he wasn't in his cabin." Mario said.

"This train is still moving though...I wonder what happened." Vivian said.

"One way to find out." Lightning said as she walked away, as the others followed.

When they opened the door, the engineer was still driving the train. "Hmm? Oh good morning. We'll arrive at Poshley Heights within a few hours." He said. "So what's up?" He asked.

"Do you know where everyone is at? No one is in their cabins." Mario said.

"No one? Not even in the dining car?" He asked, as Mario shook his head no. "Weird." He said.

Suddenly, a little black thing slammed right into the window. "Hmm? What's this?" He asked, when suddenly, a lot more showed up on the train. "WHAT THE HECK?!" He yelled.

Danger! Enemy Encounter! (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Hey! Those are those things we saw at Riverside Station!" Sora exclaimed.

"Do you think they hitched a ride before we took off?" Vivian asked.

"Maybe." Mario said.

"I need to keep controlling the train for crying out loud. Um, Why don't you go try and find everyone while I keep controlling it?" He suggested as they nodded and ran off.

"How are we going to find everyone if these things are EVERYWHERE?!" Koops exclaimed.

"I dunno." Lightning said as they ran straight to the luggage car.

Boss Battle (Kid Icarus: Uprising)

Pit was firing arrows at the black things as they were trying to take Palutena. "Don't even THINK about it!" He exclaimed as the door opened.

"Pit?!" Mario exclaimed.

"Hey Mario!" Pit waved before he ran to a couple and used his Upperdash Arm.

Sora took out his Ultima and slashed several of them while Lightning used Thundaga on them.

They all got frightened by the attacks as they hopped away, as they were covering the conductor, the waitress and Toodles. "Oh...my achin..." The conductor said.

Palutena got up and looked at Mario. "Oh, hey Mario." She waved.

"...Were you knocked out this entire time?" Mario asked.

"Luggage fell on her. It's a long story." Pit told him as he looked outside. "But we can introduce ourselves later, right now, we got to deal with those Smorgs." He said.

"I would turn on the Power of Flight, but considering how fast this train is going...i'd rather not." Palutena said.

"Go defeat those things! I don't want them ON this train!" The conductor exclaimed as they nodded and got out.

"WHOA! This wind feels incredible!" Sora exclaimed.

"This is nothing to what I've been through." Pit said as Mario's hat came flying off.

"Oh great!" Mario muttered.

"Don't worry; I'll get one of the Centurions to retrieve it after we eliminate these guys." Palutena said as they climbed on the train, as Vivian's hat blew off of her too.

"My hat!" She exclaimed, as the wind revealed her eyes.

"Whoa...you're eyes look beautiful." Sora said.

"You think so?" She blushed while smiling.

"Hey, lovebirds... we need to defeat these things, remember?" Palutena asked.

"Oh right." Sora said as they all charged forward, striking any Smorg dumb enough to attack them.

When they got closer, the Smorgs formed together. "Oh, they're getting serious now." Pit said, taking out his Palutena Bow.

"SMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORG!" It yelled.

"BRING IT ON, WEIRDOS!" Yoshi yelled.

Smorgs (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

The Smorg attacked with it's tentacles at Lightning, Pit and Bobbery, but they all dodged as Lightning used Firaga, Pit firing arrows and Bobbery exploding in the Smorg's face.

Mario jumped up and ground pounded the Smorg as he jumped back before it could retaliate.

The Smorg grabbed Pit and threw him right up in the air, but Sora used Magnega to pull him back down. "Thanks dude." He said as he ran straight to the Smorg and hit him with the Upperdash Arm.

Palutena slammed her staff down on the train, and fired a couple of shots while Koops spun in his shell as Palutena turned her staff around and put it behind Koops. "FORE!" She yelled and slammed her staff on Koops, as he was launched extremely faster than ever and slammed right into the Smorg, and then he jumped back.

"EAT EGGS!" Yoshi yelled as he threw a couple of eggs at the Smorg.

The tentacles retracted as a claw came out of it as it snapped down on Vivian, but she sunk into the ground, came back up and punched it really hard.

"Stand back, guys." Pit said as he pulled out an X Bomb. "TAKE THIS!" He yelled as he threw it, as the X Bomb exploded right when it hit the Smorg.

Mario ran over to the Smorg and then hit it with his hammer while Pit fired more arrows at it.

"According to my Heart Point Analyzer, it's almost defeated." Palutena said.

"You have a Heart Point Analyzer?" Pit asked.

"No, but I can tell it's getting weak." She said, smiling.

"DANG IT! WHY DO I KEEP FALLING FOR STUFF LIKE THAT?!" Pit yelled, facepalming.

Sora and Lightning looked at each other and nodded as they used Zantetsuken at the same time right at the Smorg...but it looked like that didn't finish it off.

"I got it." Pit said as he closed his eyes...and then opened them, this time they glowed. "FINAL SMASH, ACTIVATE! THREE SACRED TREASURES!" He yelled, as the Sacred Treasures equipped on himself.

"Whoa, that's new." Mario said.

"PREPARE TO FACE THE LIGHT!" Pit yelled as he fired tons of arrows at the Smorg and then pillars of light rained down on the Smorg.

"Holy..." Koops said.

"...I...am amazed." Vivian said.

"I'm scared to face him now in the tournament when the time comes." Mario said as Pit turned to him after his Final Smash deactivated and smiled at him.

"You should see Kirby's new Final Smash when I visited him in Dreamland a couple days ago." He said.

"Smoooooooooooooorg..." The smorg said as every bit and piece of it flew off, revealing the passengers.

"Well...THAT happened." Pennington said.

"Let's all head back in the train." Sora said as they nodded.

Excess Express at Day

Back in the train and a lot of introductions later...

"So wait, you came looking for Ghost T.?" Mario asked.

"It's been ten years, dude. TEN YEARS." Palutena said.

"You know...you look like twins." Lightning said, taking a good look at Pit and Sora.

"If we were twins, I would've known about him by now." Sora said.

"I know about you." Pit said as he told everything about him.

"Kingdom Hearts...is a game...?" Sora wondered with his eyebrow raised as Pit told Lightning about her.

"Final Fantasy...WHAT?" Lightning asked.

"Ah, you'll figure it out." Pit smiled.

"Attention all passengers, we are now arriving at Poshley Heights." The engineer said.

"I still need to find that ghost." Palutena muttered.

"Try Cabin 11." Mario said.

"Oh...I was just about to go there." She said as she walked away.

"Riiiiight." Mario rolled his eyes.

Ghost T. looked outside and sighed. "Poshley Heights...we meet again." He said as he heard the door open. "Hmm?" He wondered as he turned around. "OH CRAP!"

"It's been ten years...I should've came down on this train long ago." Palutena said.

"Yeah well, The Underworld Army kept you occupied and I was hoping I would've been forgotten." Ghost T. told her.

"You think I would forget a soul? Are you out of your mind? I've been waiting ten years and i've gotten impatient now."

"Well I got used to this cabin so there's NO way you'll be making me leave." He said.

"Change of plans." She said as she stepped forward.

"YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME!" He yelled as he flew off.

Pit! I need some help here! Palutena exclaimed telepathically.

Ghost T. made it into the dining car, but Pit trapped him with some rope. "Gotcha!" Pit smiled.

"Is this really necessary?" Mario asked.

"You won't like it when Palutena gets impatient. It's not pretty." Pit said.

Palutena walked in and smiled. "Great! We got him." She said.

"You're forgetting one thing." Ghost T. said as the rope fell from him. "I can make myself intangible." He said as he picked up the rope and tied up Pit really quickly before he could react.

"I've been outsmarted by a ghost...that's new." Pit said, while a tick mark appeared on Palutena's forehead.

"DAMNIT, GHOST T.! JUST COME TO YOUR FREAKING BODY! IT'S ALREADY THERE AT SKYWORLD!" Palutena yelled.

"Oh, that's where it went..." Ghost T. said, putting his hand on his chin in thought. "But there's NO way I'll be going to Skyworld!"

"I feel like I should interrupt them, but she's a Goddess...so I'll just keep quiet." Pennington said, as everyone looked at the trio.

Suddenly, something trapped Ghost T. in a jar. "WHAT THE HECK?!" The trio yelled at the same time.

"Gotcha." A female voice said.

"Viridi?" Pit asked.

"What, was I just going to sit back and watch you three bicker? Not going to happen." She said. "Although, I was kinda enjoying it."

"While I appreciate what you did, you do know he can turn intangible right?" Palutena asked.

"Arlon specially made this. Not even a ghost can break out of it." She explained.

"Sooo, are we just going to ignore the fact that I've been tied up by a ghost?" Pit asked as Sora sighed and cut the rope with his Ultima. "Oh, thanks." He said.

The train finally stopped at Poshley Heights as the passengers walked out.

"Well, I guess we gotta get going now." Pit said.

"This is CRAZY! I REFUSE TO GO WITH YOU!" Ghost T. yelled.

"Tough luck." Viridi said as the three of them took off back to Skyworld.

"That Viridi girl sure was cute." Sora said.

"No kidding." Mario said.

Poshley Heights (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Sora and the others walked out of the train as they looked around Poshley Heights. "Whoa, this place is amazing." Yoshi said.

"I want to live here now." Koops said.

"I know! It's better than Rogueport." Goombella said as they walked straight to Poshley Sanctum.

"You know, I wonder if I can actually live here...if I was that famous or rich." Lightning said as they walked.

"Hey!" said a voice as they turned to see two Centurions flying up to them with Mario's hat and Vivian's hat.

"Oh thanks!" Mario said, taking his hat.

"Thanks." Vivian smiled, putting her hat on.

"Tell Palutena we said thanks." Mario told them.

"You got it." One of the Centurions said as they flew off to Skyworld.

"Well that was nice of them." Bobbery said as they walked to the doors of the sanctum, but it was locked.

"Oh great...it's locked." Mario muttered.

"Allow me, Luigi." A voice said as they turned to see Pennington walking up to them and unlocking it.

"Uh, how did you have the key to this place?" Lightning asked.

"I think it's time I came clean. My real profession is the owner of the sanctum. Beign a detective is just a hobby." He said.

"Oh...that makes sense...sorta." Mario said as they walked in, but to their surprise... Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss are at the Crystal Star!

"Oh no!" Vivian exclaimed.

Shadow Sirens (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Oh yes!" Beldam smirked, who had burn marks on her and hat was totally charred. "We'll be taking THIS!" She said as she took the Crystal Star off of the pedestal. "So long, uglies!" She said as she and Marilyn went underground.

"H-hey! Wait for me!" Doopliss exclaimed as he jumped through the window.

Poshley Sanctum (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Oh crap...now we need to go after them!" Sora exclaimed.

"Hold on a second, Roxas. Who exactly were they?" Pennington asked.

"The Shadow Sirens and Doopliss, they're bad guys and they took the Crystal Star." Sora said.

"And we need to go after them now." Vivian muttered.

"HA!" Pennington suddenly laughed, as they looked at him. "They don't have the real one. It's a fake. A Red Herring." He smiled.

"Then where's the real one?" Goofy asked.

"Right here." Pennington said, as he pressed a button on the wall, as a pedestal rosed from the ground in front of them, revealing the real Crystal Star.

"Wait, what?" Lightning asked.

"Shocking, isn't it?" Pennington asked. "Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go get another one." He said as he walked out of the sanctum.

"Well, that was easier than I thought." Sora said as he took the Crystal Star.

End of Chapter! (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

The Shadow Sirens and Doopliss grabbed themselves a fake Crystal Star while the others got the real one. Now it's off to Rogueport once again!

Hey, I wonder how Ghost T. is doing?

Solo Menu – Viridi (Kid Icarus: Uprising)

Viridi put Ghost T. back in his body. "There we go." She smiled.

The Toad sat up and glared at them. "I hate you all." He said as he ran off.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Pit asked.

"TO FIND A WAY TO KILL MYSELF SO I CAN BACK TO THAT CABIN!" He yelled.

"...He does realize you don't die in Skyworld, right?" Viridi asked.

"Ah, he'll figure it out." Palutena smiled. "I'm just glad he's back in his body."

Coming to a theater near you! Smorgs on a Train!

You know, I just couldn't help myself adding a scene with Ghost T., Palutena, and Pit, and then putting in Viridi in here.
