That's when they saw Bowser being held up.
Bowser asked, "Mario? Luigi? Violet? …origami girl? You're here too?"
Violet pointed out, "This is Olivia."
Olivia waved, "Hello."
Bowser rolled his eyes, "Whatever. You wanna get me down already?!"
Mario activated his Firebrand and said sarcastically, "Hold on, scary Koopa King."
With that, he cut down Bowser. He was still folded up, though.
Bowser complained, "Ouch!"
Luigi stammered, "H - he is still folded up, Mario."
Bowser told them, "Those jerks folded me up that I won't describe right now!"
Mario teased, "And probably you can't describe it since you don't know those words."
Bowser huffed, "Hey!"
Luigi stated, "I - I don't think you should be playing with fire. T - those Folded Soldiers might come back soon."
Bowser grumbled, "You just don't want to go a row with excellence!"
Violet further teased, "Excellence? Wait, you? Sorry, don't believe it."
The Koopa King growled in her face, making Olivia scamper behind Violet in fear.
The origami girl asked, "H - how are you not scared of him?"
The sacred violet ice answered, "Like I said, there isn't anything we can't take care of."
To that, Olivia nodded. Bowser had told them about a secret exit in the room so they looked in the room a bit. Luigi used his hammer to clear some boxes and that's where they found another magic circle. Mario used his 1,000 Fold Arms to move the wall. The group went through the secret exit.
Olivia praised, "You are really getting a hold of those 1,000 Fold Arms, Mario!"
Luigi added, "That's mi fratello for you."
Mario blushed out of embarrassment. They walked up the stairs. As they were walking up the stairs, Bowser was lagging behind a bit. He was complaining but they finally made it to the top of the stairs.
Violet whispered to Mario, "Does this remind you of Luvbi or what?"
Mario had a long, sad gaze after that. "Yeah but at least Luvbi wasn't a total pain in the butt."
To that, Violet nodded. She was sad too. Even though Luvbi was a total pain, they wouldn't have been able to save the world. Or Luigi either.
Bowser told them, "Hey, stop whispering! That's quite rude!"
The group had gotten outside, at the balcony. They walked up to a door and an origami yellow shy guy and the origami Peach came out of it. Violet put Olivia behind her, out of instinct.
Bowser whispered, "Ah! She can't see me like this!"
Peach asked, "Why are you still so…flat? Why haven't you joined me in folded glory… Come…we can reshape you."
The origami yellow shy guy told her, "Patience, Princess. This will do just fine. So you're Mario, Luigi, and Violet. Princess Peach's heroes, correct?"
Mario raised a brow, "Si?"
Luigi stammered, "T - that's us…"
Violet stated, "Who wants to know?"
The origami yellow shy guy menacingly told them, "Yes, you will do quite well. Very crisp. Bright colors. I can see it now…"
Bowser huffed, "Hey, I'm crisp!"
The origami yellow shy guy ignored him, "So what do you say? Will you volunteer your paper bodies for the cause?"
Mario stated, "You aren't going to take our bodies!"
The origami yellow shy guy replied, "Oh? Does that mean we've got to get… crumply?"
Luigi stammered, "W - we aren't giving up our bodies!"
The origami yellow shy guy responded, "Gee, that's too bad. To be honest, I wouldn't have it any other way. Take a good long look at Princess Peach. She's better this way, don't you think? No need for an answer. You'll soon feel the power of origami for yourself. Folded Soldier, come forth!"
That's when two other origami shy guys and an origami goomba came forward.
Olivia trembled, "I've never seen a Folded Soldier like that before. Does it look like one of your paper friends?"
Violet told her, "Not really our friend, this is one of Bowser's minions."
Bowser huffed, "Get out of that origami, goomba!"
The origami goomba commented, "Get ready to get folded!"
After taking down the origami goomba and the origami shy guys, the origami yellow shy guy perked up.
He commented, "So you defeated the first Goomba. Bravo. I assure you it is far from the deadliest creature in this realm. I suppose there's no point in maintaining this charade any longer…"
That's when he folded himself into an origami boy, not just any boy but a boy with a crown.
Olivia shouted, "BROTHER?!"
Everyone else shouted, "Brother?!"
Bowser muttered, "Now, that is dysfunctional…"
Olivia stammered, "I - I didn't want to believe it could be you. How many times did I tell you to stop! Please! You have to stop now!"
The origami boy stated, "Why couldn't they leave you in the wall where I put you. Sister, if you stand in the way of my ambition, I'm afraid you will not share in my glory as family."
Violet stepped in front of Olivia, "She's your sister! How dare you speak to her that way!"
Before the origami girl could say anything, her brother had stiffened a laugh.
He pointed out, "Why would you say that? You don't even have a sibling. In either event, I am not your brother Olly. I am KING OLLY!"
Luigi stammered, "K - King Olly?"
Bowser huffed, "I'm a king too."
King Olly floated up, "By the time I am done, all those miserable Toads will be folded… The flimsy paper soldiers of Bowser's shall be reborn as loyal Folded Soldiers - serving me! And I shall fold, crease, and bend the entire paper world to my whim… The birth of a new origami kingdom!"
Mario told him, "We will stop you!"
That's when he glowed a purple light. Several streamers came up, flying towards him. They surrounded the castle. Just before it could surround the group, the Koopa Car and a shy guy flew up and everyone got aboard. They saw the castle was flying off, surrounded in ribbons. The red streamer hit into the Koopa Car, knocking everyone in different directions. Mario had landed in a tree. Luigi had landed another tree. Violet and Olivia landed on the ground. As the hero of the kingdom tried to get out of the tree, he had found confetti. Mario fell to the ground, groaning.
He asked, "W - what happened, Weegie?"
The man in green was struggling, "I - I don't know, Malleo."
He managed to get down. Violet and Olivia had gotten up.
She asked, "Are you alright, Olivia?"
Olivia answered, "Yeah, thanks Violet…"
Violet questioned, "Was that guy really your brother…?"
Olivia eventually answered, "Yes, he is…"
Violet frowned. That didn't sound good. Olivia decided to change the subject as she taught them how to use confetti.
Mario pointed out, "You can tell us anything, Olivia."
Luigi stated, "He's right, you can."
To that, the origami girl nodded. There wasn't much else to do except move forward.
