Finally, they got to the top. They saw a seal of Olly's face on the red streamer.
Mario told them, "We're here."
Luigi looked around, "T - this can't be good. There's no one around."
Violet replied, "He's right. But at least we made it."
Olivia suggested, "Let's check on the streamer."
The group walked over. Violet got under it about to jump but that's when Olivia noticed two colored pencils going straight for the violet ice wielder. Before anyone could react, the origami girl did. She pushed Violet out of the way, almost getting hit herself.
Violet turned to Olivia, "Thanks Olivia."
Olivia told her, "Got to keep my sis…friend safe!"
Violet smiled at her mistake, deciding not to press on it.
Mario questioned, "Where did those colored pencils come from, Weegie?"
"Aw, man! You were almost out of the picture…for good."
Luigi stammered, "I - I think we are about to find out, Malleo."
The group turned, seeing that a coloring pencil case was coming towards them. Before anyone could react, the missile maestro, the colored pencils almost flattened them. They had quickly moved.
Violet stated, "C - Called that one."
The colored pencils stated, "I'm sick and tired of Philistines erasing all of my hard work, man."
Mario growled and sarcastically pointed out, "Gee I wonder why we were doing that!"
The color pencils replied, "Either way, you probably never even heard of me, right? Figures. When was the last time you were in a gallery?"
Olivia stated, "It's been awhile for me."
The colored pencils rolled his eyes, if he had any, "Pfft, I wasn't talking to you. I'm gonna give you an art lesson for free. The name is Jean-Pierre Colored Pencils the 12th. I represent the Legion of Stationery, I'll have you know!"
Luigi repeated, "L - Legion of Stationery?"
Jean-Pierre stated, "Yep and I'm the guarding the streamer. I'll scribble that on your face if that's what it takes to stop you."
That's when Jean-Pierre attacked the group. They went into battle quickly. It took them a while but they eventually managed to defeat Jean-Pierre.
Jean-Pierre groaned, "Ugh…no way. Defeated by no-names, no-talent pieces of disgusting POP CULTURE!"
Mario quipped, "I didn't know that beating bad guys wasn't a talent."
To that, the group laughed.
Jean-Pierre stated, "You were better when you were a sidescroller."
Luigi raised a brow, "Sidescroller?"
Before another word was said, the colored pencils had blown up.
Violet gushed, "We did it!"
Olivia added, "That was awesome! Now we can take care of the streamer."
The spell circle for the 1,000 Arms appeared and Mario took a whack at it. The seal broke and the streamer exploded into confetti. The red steamer had disappeared finally.
Mario stated, "Now take care of that blue streamer."
Luigi replied, "Off to Autumn Mountain."
Violet responded, "Hopefully there will be no more colored pencils involved."
Olivia giggled, "We can only hope."
…
The group had gone over to the tram. The Toad in charge, Dan, had said that he had only one other passenger on board.
Mario stated, "We are ready to go."
Dan replied, "Then go ahead and board."
Luigi responded, "Thanks Dan."
Violet sat down with Luigi and teased, "Mind if we sit here?"
Luigi blushed as Olivia teased, "I don't think he minds, Violet."
To that, Violet was the one to blush. As the tram moved, they looked out the window and enjoyed the view.
"It is nice, isn't?"
Everyone turned, seeing a Bob-omb sitting there.
Mario raised a brow, "Bob-omb?"
The bomb answered, "Yes but that's all I remember."
Luigi stated, "You got amnesia?"
The bomb replied, "Mhm. So I'm on a solo journey to remember anything."
Violet frowned, "That's just awful."
Bob-omb turned to them, "Why are you headed to this place?"
Olivia responded, "We are following the blue streamer to undo my brother's evil work." The bomb just hmm softly. Olivia offered, "You can come with us, we can help you get your memories back! And make some new ones along the way!"
Bob-omb looked at her, as if she grew another head. "It's a kind offer but I don't want to put you guys out."
Mario stated, "No it'll be fine. Besides, we don't mind helping. Right guys?"
Everyone said, "Right!"
Bob-omb commented, "Sounds good, then."
Everyone introduced themselves and Bob-omb felt like it was very familiar to him. As the tram finally stopped, everyone got off and was in awe of the red colors.
Mario commented, "It's beautiful here…"
Luigi breathed, "Sure is."
Violet stated, "Simply amazing."
Olivia told them, "Let's start making memories here!"
Bob-omb replied, "Definitely."
The bomb decided to scout ahead for where the streamer was going. Olivia kept getting his name wrong. But he couldn't go any further because of a dead end.
Mario groaned, "Oh great…"
Luigi asked, "Now what?"
Violet answered, "We'll have to find another way around."
Olivia stated, "Good call." She turned to Bob-omb and said, "Let's go, Bobby."
Bob-omb pointed out, "It's Bob-omb but you can call me that."
The origami girl smiled. As they faced Folded Soldiers, Mario paled as that thing (he couldn't tell what it was all he knew, it was something origami) took his brother.
Luigi cried out, "Malleo! Vi! Help!"
Mario and Violet both yelped, "Weegie!"
They both ran after the man in green.
Olivia yelped, "Hang on, Luigi!"
Bobby added, "We're coming, green!"
Violet had lost track of Luigi but Mario was barely behind the Folded Soldier that had his brother.
Mario cried out, "Luigi!"
Luigi cried out, "Mario!"
Just when the red clad plumber was about to grab the ghost hunter but he was jerked away. The last thing Mario saw was Luigi crying.
"MALLEO!"
"WEEGIE!"
When the others caught up to him, they saw the state the hero of the kingdom was in, they knew that Luigi was in trouble. Violet was in tears. So was Mario. Olivia was crying too. Bobby was in a bit of shock. Who would want to take Luigi?
