The group had found the first hot spring. The sign read: Spring of Purification Effective against Rips and Tears. Everyone got in and enjoyed themselves.
Olivia stated, "Bad news guys, I only care about hot springs now."
Mario, Luigi, and Violet all laughed. They got outside and enjoyed the beautiful view.
Mario breathed, "It's beautiful. It's all in the clouds."
Luigi stated, "It's a beautiful view. And I got be with my two favorite people to see it."
Violet joked, "Aw but what about Peach?"
Luigi laughed as they saw the Overthere a bit ways away. No one said a word, they were quiet. They missed Bobby so. As soon as they were done, they saw Bowser's Castle had landed on a building.
The origami girl blinked, "What is that ugly face doing here?"
The hero of the kingdom stated, "It's Bowser's Castle."
The ghost hunter asked, "Has he been here all this time?"
The violet ice wielder pointed out, "There's only one way to find out."
Olivia was about to suggest talking to someone but that's when they saw that it was Kamek.
Kamek was shocked, "Mario?! Luigi?! Violet?! What are you all doing here?"
Mario admitted, "We could ask the same thing of you, Kamek."
Olivia asked, "Wait, you know him?"
Violet explained, "He's one of Bowser's minions."
Kamek told her, "My name is Kamek. I do have information for you. After getting separated in the clown car, Lord Bowser returned to the castle, where I awaited his command. But just as he arrived, we were overwhelemed by Folded Soldiers. Bowser was captured. Again. Having heroically secreted myself during the attack. I was ready to engage our emergency protocol. But the button I pressed shut off the ship's engines instead. It wasn't my fault! With the engines off, Bowser's Castle plunged straight into the Shangri-Spa campus."
Cory came up to them and said, "Yeah, right into our banquet hall! One must make a reservation to drop a castle on our banquet hall. Do you have an idea how far out we're booked?!"
He walked off in a huff.
Luigi sweatdropped, "What was that all about?"
Violet frowned, "Not sure myself."
Olivia commented, "Well, we need to go into Bowser's Castle to follow that green streamer."
Kamek stated, "Just follow me. I'll help you."
Mario said, "I appreciate it, Kamek. We need to get Peaci back."
The group went over to the castle. Just when they were about to go in, a giant shadow caught their attention. Kamek was strangely missing. They all looked up. There, in a giant storm cloud was a Folded Soldier. He used some lightning and everyone avoided it. Luigi activated his Thunderhand, starting to draw it to himself. But there was too much lightning for him to control all at once. They all ran away from the storm cloud.
Kamek said, "Well, that confirms it. There really is a lightning beast guarding the front door. I'm relived it wasn't just my imagination."
Mario was furious, "What were you trying to do?! Electrocute us?!"
Kamek was frightened, "Eep, no! I wasn't sure if the castle was being guarded or not!"
Olivia asked, "So you ask us to do it?"
Kamek answered, "Yes cause I don't have my flying broomstick..."
"DAD!"
Everyone turned, seeing Bowser Jr. in the flying car. Before he could try and get on the cloud, a pair of scissors came out of nowhere. The scissors cut Junior and the Koopa Car quickly and went back behind the castle. Pieces of Junior's paper form went everywhere.
Kamek shouted, "NO!"
Luigi blinked, "W - was that a pair of scissors?"
Violet stated, "Looked like it."
Kamek ran over to Junior and shouted, "Young Master! Your body! Your clown car! Oh, I can't understand what he's trying to say. Young Master, if it's about your current state, I assure you that we are aware of it!"
Mario replied, "Betcha any money that's the last boss."
Olivia shivered, "Oh, what a horrible fate!"
Luigi responded, "Even for Bowser Jr."
Violet perked up, "Hey, weren't we just in a hot spring that helps with rips and cuts? Maybe, just maybe, we can use it for Junior."
Kamek overheard this and said, "Did you hear that, Young Master? We'll get you fixed up in no time!"
The wizard then picked up the pieces of Junior and headed that way with the heroes. After defeating some Folded Soldiers, they managed to get Junior in the hot spring. Junior was back together but was covered in smoke.
Kamek was thrilled, "Aha! He's whole again! Perhaps I should rescind my one-star online review of Shangri-Spa..."
Mario asked, "Are you alright, Junior?"
Junior answered, "Mhm, thanks. But it wasn't me, I didn't crash into the castle."
Luigi teased, "This time."
Junior huffed, "Hey!"
Violet asked, "But you're still smoky, how do we take care of that?"
Olivia answered, "Maybe if we keep looking for the hot springs, it'll help Junior."
Kamek perked up, "That's a great idea, Olivia!"
As soon as they were done with Spring of Purification, they went back outside and kept walking around. Junior had come to help his dad but the heroes came up with the idea to use the Koopa Car to take out the lightning monster. Once they got Junior back together.
Olivia commented, "That is a great idea."
Mario teased, "Oh, you're just excited to try out the different hot springs."
Oliivia blushed, embarrassed.
Luigi laughed, "Maybe you should be the origami hot spring!"
To that, everyone laughed.
Violet replied, "That's pretty funny."
Kamek responded, "Oh, let's get going. For the Young Master's sake."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Junior grumbled, "This is embarrassing, being rolled up like this..."
