Everyone soon appeared outside right after Kamek hit them with his magic, unaware of where they are. "Okay, that wizard is getting on my last nerve." Yang said.
"Where the hell are we?" Weiss wondered.
"Who knows, but the next time we see him, I'm gonna pound him into next week." Yang said.
"I dunno, you may have to have a witch friend." Caboose said.
"And where are we suppose to find a witch of all things?" Church asked, already regretting it.
"At Laser Valley! Made by the witch that fires lasers a lot." Caboose said as all eyes turned to him as if he lost his marbles. "What?"
"I'm… not sure if those exist." Mario said.
"Talking. Turtles." Grif said. "If that's a thing, then I'm sure a laser-happy witch could be a thing too!"
"Hmm, good point."
"Oh! Oh! Can the laser be a rainbow?" Caboose asked.
"Sure! Why not!" Church exclaimed, throwing his hands in the air.
"Let's just go before he says anything else." Blake said.
"Kangaroo Attack!"
"Too late." Church muttered.
World 3-Secret 2: Koopa Troopa Paradise
BGM: Athletic (New Super Mario Bros)
"Yo yo!" Yoshi exclaimed, looking at all the delicious Paratroopas flying around.
"Wow… that's a lot of Paratroopas." Ruby said.
"Tell me about it." Luigi said as they walked forward. Some of the Paratroopas attempted to attack them, but luckily, Yoshi had it covered and spat out the shells, knocking out a few as Zwei kicked one away and Poochy… well, Poochy licked one to death.
"ACK! GET THIS DISGUSTING DROOLING THING OFF OF ME!" One of them yelled as Yoshi decided to put it out of his misery, and proceeded to throw an egg at a few Spinies that walked around, and they kept walking, unaware of someone approaching them. And that someone happened to be Nabbit.
He was mostly following them because he saw something that he couldn't take his eyes off of… and that just so happened to be Crescent Rose. There were hearts appearing in his eyes… he could almost taste it!
Just a little closer… a little closer… he heard someone yelling, but he didn't care… all he cared about was his prize and when he got closer, he swung the net down and quickly took off and hid inside a bush, giggling excitedly and opening his bag to see his prize… only, it was a Bob-omb?
Earlier, outside of Nabbit's la-la land…
"Hey, what's that?" Nora asked, seeing a Parabomb falling out of the sky.
"That's a Bob-omb!" Ruby exclaimed. "And it's coming down on top of us!"
"DUCK AND COVER!" Luigi yelled panickedly as they ducked and covered… and Nabbit's net happened to grab the Parabomb instead of Ruby's scythe and took off.
"…Hey, where's the earth shattering kaboom?" Caboose asked.
"Eh?" Sarge looked up from a bush. "I'll be! It's gone!"
"I did pick up on someone behind us, but…" Nyx rubbed her chin in thought. "I wonder if it was a friend who got rid of the Bob-omb for us."
"Who cares? At least none of us are in pieces… although I hoped Grif would've been."
"Oh fuck you!"
"WHAT WAS THAT?!"
Grif sighed in annoyance. "Fuck you, SIR."
"That's more like it!"
Back with Nabbit…
Nabbit stared at the Bob-omb as it stared back at him… until it lit its fuse, causing him to panic and look around for anything, then noticing a cliff as he ran over and dropped the Bob-omb down, and then he walked off… and then heard an explosion followed by several screams, causing him to turn around but shrugged it off and ran off.
At the blast zone…
"Ooogh…" Yellow groaned, as the four Koopa Bros were knocked out, groaning.
"What just happened?" Red asked.
"I dunno… but I don't wanna find out…" Black groaned.
Green coughed out smoke. "I'm gonna feel that one for a while…"
Back with the gang…
"Yo yo?" Yoshi wondered as he heard the explosion and looked at Booniper who only shrugged as they kept going.
"Why do I have this feeling that someone was about to steal my baby?" Ruby asked, referring to her scythe.
"Oh please, who'd be dumb enough to steal that?" Jaune asked.
"I dunno…" Ruby shrugged.
"I doubt anyone would steal your scythe." Yang said with a reassuring smile as they kept going, and then a Spiny hit Pyrrha's head.
"Ow!" Pyrrha winced as they looked around and spotted a Lakitu peeking out of a pipe.
"Hey!" Nora exclaimed, jumping up, landing on the pipe, and then firing her grenade launcher into it. "That was for throwing that Spiny!" She said as they walked off again, as the Lakitu weakly emerged from the pipe, coughing out smoke before falling back in.
It was then that as they kept walking… they noticed a huge lake up ahead, with nothing to get around it.

"…Oh well, we tried." Neptune turned around, but Sun grabbed his hoodie.
"We'll have to cross." He said.
"…I was afraid of that." He sighed.
"Sooo, how are we going to get across? I don't see any ? blocks." Yang said.
"We don't need them." Nyx said as she picked up on something and then several friendly dolphins emerged with a smile. "We can use these."
"Dolphins!" Luigi exclaimed. "Hallelujah, something not completely terrifying!" He said as they all hopped onto one, with Sun forcing Neptune onto one, and then noticed Lakitu coming down with a stoplight.
World 3-Secret 3: Dolphin Race!
"Oh, so this is a race of some kind?" Mario asked.
"Yeah, pretty much. Although it's not the style of Mario Kart, however." The Lakitu said. "Just make it to the other side of the lake. Oh, and be careful of the Porcupuffers!"
"…The what?" Luigi paled.
"On your mark!"
"I'm suddenly having second thoughts about this…" Luigi said.
"Get set!"
"I think I left the oven on at-"
"GO!"
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" Luigi screamed as the dolphins took off.
BGM: Slider – Super Mario 64 (Mario and Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games)
"Hang on, Zwei! This is gonna get a bit bumpy!" Ruby said, holding on to Zwei as he just happily barked.
"I!" Splash. "HATE!" Splash. "WATER!" Neptune yelled… and then the dolphin went under, and then breached over Sun and Sarge and then perfectly, while he was spitting out water with an unamused look.
"Yeehaw! Ride 'em cowboy!" Sarge exclaimed, seeming to enjoy riding a dolphin, as they saw a few Porcupuffers coming their way.
"Aaaah! Turn around!" Luigi pleaded, but the dolphin dove underwater to avoid the Porcupuffer and then breached, landing next to Mario as he coughed out water.
"You doing okay, bro?" Mario asked.
"…I got water up my nose…"
"I'll take that as a yes."
"HOW DO YOU CONTROL THESE THINGS?!" Weiss yelled, trying to steady the dolphin… and then noticed something next to her as they saw Caboose incorrectly riding the dolpin, and by that, I mean he was using the dolphin as a surfboard.
"Wahoo! Cowabunga!"
"THAT'S NOT HOW YOU RIDE A DOLPHIN, CABOOSE!" Church yelled. "…I think…"
"Do dolphins ride humans? I wanna find that out for myself!" Sister said.
"Wait-blub-what?!" Jaune asked as he was just underwater as Nyx brought out her crossbow and aimed carefully and then shot herself a Porcupuffer that was about to breach and hit somebody.
"Gotcha." She grinned.
"WAHOOOOOOO!" Donut yelled as some of them were going underwater and breaching out of the water to do a few flips, much to the annoyance of Neptune, but the others were having the time of their lives as they land up ahead.
"Alright, I'll see you at the finish line!" Ruby said, aiming her scythe behind her, hoping she wasn't about to hit anyone and then pressed the trigger, causing the dolphin to pick up speed.
"…Hey! Do that!" Grif ordered the dolphin, but it came to a complete stop and throwing him overboard. "WAAAAH!" Splash… and then the dolphin came back up and took off with an unamused Grif. "You did that on purpose!"
As they were getting closer, Yang casually looked down to see some Fish Bones swimming around. "That… can't be good." She said as they were getting closer, as one by one, they got over to land, with Ruby in first, Caboose in second, Pyrrha in third… and Grif in dead last.

"Well, that was fun." Sun said and looked at Neptune. "…For most of us."
"Shut. Up." Neptune muttered, drenching wet as they walked a little ways, encountering a few Dry Bones along the way until they found a Fortress in front of them.
World 3-Fortress – Fire Breathing Rhinos
BGM: Fortress (Super Mario Bros Wii/U)
"A fortress way out here?" Ruby wondered.
"I wonder if we'll encounter one of those Koopalings." Blake said.
"Or Kamek." Yang said as they walked inside, where Yoshi, Poochy and Zwei were actually allowed inside as they wandered around, dodging the Thwomps and Dry Bones, as they climbed up, they had to dodge some Ball'n'Chains that showed up, along with stomping on a few Bony Beetles and kicking one away, they soon found the big doors and entered.
End BGM
They readied their weapons, ready in case if anything was thrown at them… and when they got closer, they saw four rhinos on top of some rotating blocks, as they were glaring right at them.
"…Oh no." Luigi paled.
"I don't like the looks of this." Jaune said. "Soooo, what's the name of these four?"
"Reznor." Mario replied, and then the four of them roared loudly, signaling the beginning of the battle.
BGM: Reznor (New Super Mario Bros 2)
"Alright, let's do this!" Yang said as they ran forward as the four of them breathed fire, but they dodged as Jaune and Grif jumped on top of a rotating block and then slashed/shot the Reznor, but the armor was too thick as it smirked and it proceeded to headbutt Jaune off of the platform, and then looked at Grif.
"Uh… let's talk about this!" Grif said, only for the Reznor to headbutt him in the crotch. "YAAAAAAAAAAGH!" He screamed, falling on his knees and then it turned around and kicked him off the platform with a smug smirk… only to get knocked off the platform by Mario and it fell on the ground, knocked out cold.
"WHY! WON'T! YOU! DIE! ALREADY!" Yang yelled, punching one of the Reznor repeatedly but it rolled its eyes, seeming bored and then breathed a fireball at her leg. "Ow!" She winced and then it kicked her off the platform… and then Luigi jumped up from below it to knock it off to KO it as well.
"You can't really kill them, you just have to knock them out by hitting their underside!" Mario said.
"NOW you tell us?!" Jaune asked as Pyrrha aimed carefully and threw her sword at one of the blocks to knock the third Reznor off of the platform to knock it out.
The last one growled and roared, jumping off the platform and landing on the ground, turning towards its prey and breathed fire, forcing them to dodge as it proceeded to charge at them wildly as they tried to dodge, but the Reznor was faster and more unpredictable.
"Hey!" Caboose walked forward. "That's not nice on what you're doing to my friends!"
The Reznor smirked. Easy prey!
It proceeded to charge forward and tackled him to the ground, pinning him down and attempting to breathe fire… until Caboose decided to tickle its chin, causing it to giggle and then laugh, seeming to be a little ticklish and then it rolled over, laughing as Nora saw her chance and then hammered the Reznor to finish it off to knock it out.
End BGM
"Aww… they look cuter when they're sleeping." Caboose said.
"There's nothing cute about those things!" Church exclaimed as they walked out and saw a bridge up ahead, followed by a castle up ahead.
"Oh! We're close!" Ruby grinned as they ran forward.
Meanwhile… at said castle…
"Lord Ludwig! Lord Ludwig!" A Koopa came running in.
"Mmph, what do you want? Can't you see I'm in the middle of something?" Ludwig asked annoyed as he was playing his piano that he brought over.
"Mario and the gang have been spotted at Butter Bridge!"
"They have? They defeated Lemmy already?"
"No, Lemmy is still at his castle."
"…Then tell Kamek to send them back to Lemmy! I'm not even READY for them yet!"
"Right away, Lord Ludwig!" The Koopa took off and grabbed a walkie-talkie. "Kamek! Come in! This is one of Ludwig's guards!"
"Hmm? What seems to be the problem?"
"Mario and the gang have been spotted at Butter Bridge! Lord Ludwig isn't even ready yet!"
"Wait… Ludwig is THERE?! I could've sworn Wendy or Larry was there!"
"Nope!"
"Ugh, well, I guess I can send them back to Lemmy… I guess."
"Lemmy can handle them! Just do it!"
"Alright." Kamek nodded and hung up. "Welp… forgive me, young master Lemmy…" He said and disappeared, and then quickly made a barrier that prevented them from going any further.
"Ow!" Blake exclaimed, slamming into the barrier. "What in the world…?"
"Uh, there's a barrier here?" Ruby asked, placing her hands on it. "Um…"
"Well, that's gotta be a way around this, right?" Ren asked.
"Um… I guess." Yang said as Nyx sensed something, but before she could say anything, Kamek's magic was faster than she realized and they were all sent back to the Vanilla Dome.
Kamek sighed. "Well… let's just hope Lemmy's ready." He said, dispelling the barrier and then disappeared.
Fun fact: I couldn't decide whether to use Slider or Baby Park for the Dolphin segment... but in the end, I chose Slider. The more you know!
