The Toads were finally freed from their rubber band torment. The stage went back to ground level as all of the Toads left. The heroes left too, back out to Shogun Studios. As the fireworks went off, Bobby was watching them with awe.

"Bobby?"

The bomb perked up, seeing that it was Olivia that addressed him. "I think... I remember!"

Mario asked, "You do?"

Bobby answered, "Mhm. They all came back to me just now!"

Luigi stated, "That's great, Bobby!"

Bobby replied, "Thanks Big L."

Violet smiled, "Well, we are all here for you, Bobby."

Bobby responded, "I appreciate that, Ma'am V."

The group went back down to the boat. They all laughed at a joke that Luigi had said. They all got on the boat and went further downstream. Before they left, they got the pictures that they had taken. The yellow streamer seemed to going towards Sweetpaper Valley. As they went downstream, Bobby had told them about the memories that he had gotten back. Olivia had insisted. That's when the group made landfall in Sweetpaper Valley. They had walked away before they had found a tunnel.

Bobby mused, "A tunnel."

Olivia stated, "Tunnel vision!"

Mario groaned, "That was bad."

Luigi agreed, "Yeah, bad pun Olivia."

Violet replied, "Let's go in that tunnel!"

Just before they could enter the tunnel, they heard a voice.

"Oh. Hello."

Everyone perked up. Who was that talking? To their surprise, Olly had appeared to them. Mario immediately put Luigi behind him, out of protection. Violet stood next to Luigi as Bobby stood behind them.

Bobby whimpered, "Uh oh..."

Olivia breathed, "Olly!"

Olly stated, "Yes, it's been a minute. See you got L on your side now, dear sister."

Just when Olivia was about to protest, she noticed that Luigi had changed into Mr. L. Mario was baffled, how did he change so quick?!

Mario started to say, "L..."

Mr. L placed his hand on the hero's shoulder, "Get down here, your-origaminess. I want to return the favor you so graciously bestowed on me and pretty-princess-in-pink!"

Olly flipped his hair, "We did tango already and if you remember correctly, it was I who won."

Violet had activated her Aurora Nine and demanded, "Why are you here, Olly?! Is it to turn us into origami too like my boyfriend?!"

Olly chuckled, seeming to have ignored her. Olivia floated over to her brother.

Bobby warned, "Careful, ma'am."

Olivia nodded to him, turning to Olly. "Ooh you've stolen Princess Peach's castle, wrapped it up in streamers, crumpled up countless Toads... Turned Peach and Luigi into origami... Why do you keep doing this? It's so mean!"

Olly stated, "Ahh, sister... You have such a flat outlook on life. All I'm doing is creating a glorious kingdom for origami like us. How can you grasp the brilliance and daring of my plan?"

Mario snarled, "By turning everyone into origami like you?! My brother and my girlfriend are origami thanks to you!"

The bandit replied, "I say we origami his face."

Violet responded, "I'm all for that."

Olly flicked his hair again, "I would be able to defeat you very easily. Just I did with you, Mr. L. I was hoping to talk some sense into my sister but I see that she has become a crinkle in my neck. Ever since she teamed up with you. It ends now."

All of the sudden, they heard rumbling. A giant boulder was coming down the slope. Olly flew out of the way as the giant boulder came right towards Olivia.

"Olivia!"

The boulder fell down, trapping Olivia under it. Olly flew over the boulder.

He coldly said, "Consider this path closed. Alas, there will be an empty origami throne beside mine... But no matter. The birth of my Origami Kingdom is imminent. You might as well sit back and wait for its arrival."

With that, Olly had left. Everyone tried to push on the boulder. They tried to use their hammers. They even tried the Firebrand, the Thunderhand, and the Aurora Nine but it was of no use. The boulder wasn't budging.

Olivia yelped, "Help me!"

Violet was very sad, "We're trying but the boulder isn't budging! Oh Mario, Luigi...what are we going to do?"

Mario admitted, "I'm not sure."

Luigi started to say "I'm not sure..." He turned to Bobby, who had been usually quiet. He asked, "Bobby...? What is it?

Bobby finally said, "Yes. It's the only way... I know how to save Olivia. We have to set sail!"

The group had got back to the boat. Bobby had explained that they needed to get to Toad Town and set sail for the Great Sea. The group couldn't help but wonder what he was up to. Violet didn't want to leave Olivia but she knew that it was the only way to get her free. She thought, 'Please hold on, Olivia! Don't get crumpled on our account!' The group went back to Shogun Studios to use the warp pipe to get back to Toad Town faster.

...

The group had finally got out to the Great Sea.

Bobby commented, "Thanks for taking out here, guys."

Mario stated, "Happy to help, you know that Bobby."

To that, the bomb nodded.

Luigi asked, "So what are we looking for?"

Violet added, "Yeah, doesn't make much sense. There isn't much out here. And it's not like Mario and I can do our spell circles without Olivia..." She paused and realized what she was saying. She quickly covered her mouth, embarrassed. She replied, "Uh never mind..."

Luigi turned to his girlfriend, "Oh Vi..." He turned to Mario, "Malleo?"

Mario nodded, "On it, Weegie."

The hero of the kingdom took the bomb with him to give Luigi a chance to talk to Violet. Violet was still embarrassed about what she said. Not to mention she didn't know if she had accidentally hurt Luigi's feelings. They stared at each other for a minute before Violet spoke.

She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry Weegie... I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I feel so bad that you got turned into origami. I felt like I couldn't do anything for you..." Violet was trying to hold back tears. She added, "I feel like I haven't done much for you lately... I just really like Olivia and she's starting to feel like a sister to me... And now she's in trouble because her brother is a butthole!"

That's when she started to cry. Luigi held her close, rubbing her back as he did. Violet sobbed on his chest, feeling guilty.

Luigi soothed, "Shh, Vi... It's okay... I don't blame you for what happened, either."

Violet started to say, "But..."

Luigi cut her off with a kiss. Violet returned it, holding him close. Luigi broke the kiss.

The man in green reassured, "I love you, Vi. There wasn't much you could do. And I don't mind you hanging out with Olivia, you know that."

The violet ice wielder stated, "I love you too, Weegie. And that won't change. You'll just be sticking with me."

Luigi slightly teased, "That doesn't sound too bad. After all, you might even become Violet Manfredi." Once he had said that, Violet turned a beat red. So did Luigi. He quickly added, "I mean..."

Violet interjected, "I know. Maybe one day. But not right now."

Luigi promised, "One day."

Mario and Bobby watched them from the side. Both of them smiled. They needed that.
