They heard someone complaining on the other side of the door. They were complaining about the music. That gave Mario an idea about the disc that they had found. Mario then gave it to the Toad DJ.
The DJ said, "Thanks, whoever is behind that door has been taking all of the Toads faces!"
The professor stammered, "O - oh how awful!"
Mario stated, "We should be able to trick him out."
Luigi repeated, "Trick him out?"
Violet crinkled her nose, "I think Mario has a plan."
Olivia responded, "I think you're right. But what kind of plan?"
Mario took the microphone from the DJ. He started to sing - the same song that he had sung with L. The voice behind the door recognized it as the door opened a bit. The group perked up. Mario also started to dance as well. That surprised the group.
Violet turned to her boyfriend, "Did you know that your brother could sing?"
Luigi blinked, "I had a feeling that he did..."
The professor cheered, "Go Mario, go!"
Mario kept going, "Who is your favorite fearless hero?"
That's when everyone else got in on the dance. Luigi took Violet's hand and they started to dance together. Olivia danced with the professor, giggling. The faceless Toads were dancing too, though they looked like zombies. As they were singing and dancing, the door had started to open.
The person whispered, "Whoa... I dig it..." Just then, the person came out behind the door. It was a hole punch. It landed on the stage, blowing away the faceless Toads and the professor. It added, "It's groovy!"
Olivia asked, "What the...? What is that thing?"
The hole punch turned to them, "I can't stop groovin' if I wanted to."
Mario activated his Firebrand, "Don't tempt me."
The hole punch replied, "I guess we're gonna have to...Face Off!"
Luigi activated his Thunderhand, "W - we will get those Toad's faces back!"
The hole punch blew a raspberry, "I'd like to see you try."
Violet activated her Aurora Nine, "Not only try, we will get them back."
The hole punch attacked them. It took them a bit but they managed to defeat the hole punch.
The hole punch complained, "Oh, man... Why'd you have to harsh my groove? We had it bumpin' in here!"
Olivia stated, "You know why. You took those Toads faces."
The hole punch replied, "Eh, you're too much of a goody two shoes. But let's keep it going anyway! Disco forever! Count it down!"
Luigi replied, "C - count down to your disappearance is coming."
The hole punch responded, "You sure that you don't want to come back to Team Olly? You and L could get rid of these guys for me."
Before Luigi could say no, Mario and Violet got in front of him, protectively.
Violet stood strong, "He's not coming back to your team. Ever. Either one of them."
Mario growled, "You got that right! My brother is never going back with the likes of you, origami or not!"
Luigi was touched but before the hole punch could say any further, he finally exploded. As he exploded, the Toads faces were released and they were returned to normal.
The professor praised, "A wonderful job!"
The origami girl stated, "I agree. That was amazing."
The red clad plumber turned to his brother, "Are you alright?"
The man in green reassured, "Si, I'm alright, thanks to you all."
The sacred violet ice teased, "Someone's got to make sure that you don't get a big head."
To that, everyone laughed. Mario used his 1,000 Folded Arms to destroy the yellow streamer. The streamer turned into confetti in an instant. The disco ball opened up and out came the sun. At the Sun Altar, the sun icon reacted and stairs appeared. Meanwhile, back with the heroes, the professor turned to the group.
The professor asked, "Was the sun stuck in that disco ball?"
Mario answered, "Not sure but it seemed like it."
Luigi raised a brow, "Why did the hole punch do that...?"
Violet admitted, "No clue..."
Olivia stated, "We could go outside and look."
The group did just that. The Toads all thanked them for their assistance as they went back to Shroom City. The group got outside and almost was blinded by the sun.
Olivia commented, "Ah good, it's back to normal."
Mario complained, "Man that's bright!"
Luigi teased, "And yet you're the one that controls fire."
To that, Mario shot him a look jokingly. They all laugh.
Violet turned to the professor, seeing his gaze, "Professor? What is it?"
The professor explained, "Was it the sun that was the key...? Quickly, to the Sun Altar!"
The group got their Boot Car and drove over to the Sun Altar. They had saw that there was stairs leading down.
Violet asked, "A secret entrance?"
Olivia was awe, "That is so cool!"
Luigi stammered, "B - but what's down there?"
The professor stated, "This may contain what I have been seeking...proof of the Ancient Ones themselves!"
Mario replied, "Then let's get down there!"
Everyone agreed as they went down the stairs.
...
Down in the Sun Altar, the group was looking around. The professor was having a fantastic time while Luigi was scared of the surroundings. Violet was a bit too but not as much as her boyfriend. She walked over to him and held him from behind. Luigi blushed.
He stammered, "S - si...?"
Violet stated, "I just want you close."
Luigi teased, "I can tell."
Violet giggled as she teased, "Oh really?"
As they chatted; Mario, Olivia and the professor were looking around.
The professor said, "Looks like they are a bit distracted right now."
Mario commented, "I'm glad to have my brother with me." He turned to Olivia, who was quiet. He asked, "Olivia, what's wrong?"
Olivia admitted, "At least your brother is nice. All mine ever did is change almost everyone in the Mushroom Kingdom into origami."
Mario turned to her, "Hey, you know that we don't blame you for what happened."
Olivia replied, "I know but I do feel guilty."
Mario responded, "You aren't responsible for your brother's actions. We will get this fixed up, don't worry. For Bobby's sake."
Olivia nodded, "Right, for Bobby's sake."
