The group had found the tunnel to the Spring of Rainbows. The trek was long but the group had finally made it. But they winded up a game show named Shy Guys Finish Last.

Emcee Shy Guy said, "Hello and welcome to Shy Guys Finish Last! I'm your emcee Shy Guy! And our contestants today are... Mario, Luigi, Violet, Olivia, Kamek, and Bowser Junior! Ooh...today's winners will receive an exclusive invitation to the Spring of Rainbows."

Kamek commented, "Sounds like fun."

Junior said, "Bring it on!"

Olivia stated, "Yeah, we got this!"

Mario laughed, "This...was unexpected, Weegie."

Luigi replied, "Yes but this looks like fun, Malleo."

Violet responded, "And how!"

After solving a few questions, the group had won 110 points.

Emcee Shy Guy said, "Congratulations! You guys are the big winners! And now its time to collect your prize - a visit to the exclusive Spring of Rainbows!"

The crowd cheered as a trap door opened underneath their feet. Everyone fell through and right into the Spring of Rainbows.

Junior commented, "So this is the place, huh? It is pretty colorful."

Mario stated, "How we got here was pretty colorful."

Luigi replied, "Si but it was fun."

Olivia moaned, "Who cares how we got here... As long as we got here..."

Violet teased, "I think you're enjoying this way too much, Olivia. I mean you did unfold earlier."

Olivia didn't say anything to that, she was enjoying the hot spring too much.

Kamek turned to Junior, who was soaking in the spring, "Well, Young Master?"

Junior came out to the hot spring, all colorful. Kamek was so relieved that he started to cry a bit. Though he wouldn't admit it to anyone.

Mario said, "Now that you're back to normal, Junior, you up for taking out that lightning monster?"

Junior confirmed, "You bet! Let me at them!"

Luigi stammered, "L - let us at them."

Violet asked, "You sure that you're up for this?"

To that, the man in green nodded fearfully.

Olivia stated, "I think we ought to start head that way."

Kamek replied, "Then let's head out!"

The group headed out. When they got there, Luigi got in the Koopa Car. Everyone else did too, much to his surprise. He turned to his brother.

Mario stated, "We are doing this together."

Luigi nodded, thankful. "Si, we do."

They flew up to the lightning monster. Kamek and Junior waited on the side for the heroes. The heroes fought the lightning monster, together. After they took out the Sumo Bros, the cloud exploded into confetti. Junior managed to catch everyone and brought everyone to the ground.

Violet told him, "Thanks Junior."

Junior replied, "Call us even!"

Olivia said, "Well, that didn't take long."

Kamek responded, "Not with these three around. They are the heroes, after all."

Before heading in, Kamek briefly borrowed the PA system and told the other minions of what happened. The group went inside of the castle. The Folded Soldiers were eating food, a lot of food. Junior had gone ahead. Kamek had drawn attention to the group. Before anyone could do anything, Bowser's minions came in, inspired by Kamek's speech. They started to fight the Folded Soldiers.

Kamek sweatdropped, "That worked better than I expected."

Olivia stated, "I'll say..."

Mario replied, "Let's try and catch up with Junior."

Luigi responded, "R - ready."

Violet teased, "You first, Mario."

Mario laughed but took the lead. Once they got to the door, they realized that it was locked. So they had to get a spare key from Kamek's room. Junior waited at the door for them as the rest of the group went to find the key. Kamek was using magic and he wound up missing.

Olivia asked, "Kamek...where did you go...?"

Mario answered, "That's strange, where'd he go?"

Luigi stammered, "I - I got a bad feeling about this..."

Violet replied, "Let's find Kamek's room and find the key."

The group kept moving, staying together. They had found Kamek's room, with a pciture of Olly over it and the door was gone. Mario angrily knocked down the picture, finding the spell circle for the 1,000 Fold Arms under it.

Olivia commented, "That works."

Luigi stammered, "Y - you okay, fratello?"

Mario admitted, "I'll feel better when my fists meet Olly's face."

Violet stated, "Yeah same."

Luigi smiled at them both, hugging them tightly. Mario and Violet returned it. Mario used his 1,000 Fold Arms to find the door to Kamek's room. They fond the keys on the bed. Mario picked them up. They went back out, Mario decided to check on the key. When he looked back up; Olivia, Luigi, and Violet were all missing.

Mario got worried, "Weegie? Violet? Olivia...?" The hero of the kingdom decided to look around for them, getting jumped by two shadows. He activated his Firebrand, "Where's my brother?! Where are my friends?!" He fought the two shadows and frowned. "This is bad." He got out into his Lamination Suit on and got to the other room, where the minions and Junior were. When he got there, everyone was gone. He added, "Real bad." He briefly looked up, seeing that Junior was pulled through the door. He whispered, "Gotcha! Don't worry everyone. Super Mario is on the way."

Mario ran up to the door, gritting his teeth. He wasn't losing his brother again. Especially to origami. He put back on the Lamination Suit just in case. He had a bad feeling. A real bad feeling. Mario got to the door and unlocked it. He saw the clown car and bits and pieces of the minions. He didn't realize that was a shadow hand right behind him. Mario didn't react in time as the shadow hand grabbed him and pinned him to a door. Mario activated his Firebrand, trying to free himself. The red clad plumber finally got himself free and saw that the shadow hand hand Olivia.

The origami girl said, "Mario! Help! I've been grabbed by something!"

Mario growled, "Not for sure but this thing is going down!"

It took Mario a bit but he managed to defeat the shadow hand. Olivia was released.

Olivia breathed, "Oh thanks, Mario..." She floated over him. She stated, "No idea what that thing is but it just grabbed me!"

Mario smiled, "Glad that you are okay, Olivia. But where is Luigi and Violet?"

Olivia paled, "Weren't they with you...?"

Now it was Mario's turn to pale. Crap.
