When the group entered the room, they climbed the stairs. They stopped at a bench. Olivia sat on that bench, wallowing.
Olivia told them, "I'm scared... I can't believe that Olly would even set that vicious stapler on me."
Mario pointed out, "And squished you under that big boulder..."
The hero of the kingdom held back tears.
Olivia sniffled, "Can we even stop him now? Or is he already too powerful?"
Luigi replied, "We won't know unless we try."
Oliviaaa said, "Thanks...but this has been such a long and difficult journey..."
Bowser blew a raspberry, "All journeys are like that."
Olivia pointed out, "Yeah but I've had so much help along the way! I'm so grateful for you, Luigi, Violet, Kamek, the Bowsers.. And Bobby... The professor, Captain T. Ode..."
Violet interrupted, "We get it, Olivia. We were there remember?"
Olivia nodded, "You've all been so amazing and helpful... And now I feel bad that I'm putting you all in danger yet again."
Mario was the one to blow a raspberry, "Oh please. I'm Super Mario. Danger follows me."
Olivia started to say, "Well yeah but..."
Luigi said, "We want to help you. Cause we are your friends."
Violet added, "And we aren't worried about the danger. We're worried about you. Our friend."
Bowser stated, "I'm not scared of that twerp! I breathe fire and punch through solid rock sometimes! I'm Bowser, I'll be eating him for lunch!"
Olivia wiped her eyes, "I guess you're right. Alright, let's a-go."
Mario teased, "Hey, that's my line!"
To that, everyone laughed. They went up the stairs and went into the room. Olly was there, sitting on his throne. Next to him was a throne for Olivia.
Olly said, "Well, you're finally here. Took you long enough. As a matter of fact, it took you so long that there's nothing you can do to stop me now."
Olivia hissed, "Brother! Are you still planning terrible things?!"
Bowser added, "Yeah! Who do you think you are, folding me and my minions like that? Like you could keep all this from busting loose!"
Mario activated his Firebrand, "Normally, I would rip into Bowser for that remark but you need to be stopped, Olly. You turned my brother and my girlfriend into origami! I've got a beef with you!"
Violet activated her Aurora Nine, "Yeah, I do too for changing my boyfriend into origami! And for putting a boulder on Olivia!"
Before she could let out a tear for Bobby, L had surfaced again.
L activated his Thunderhand, "You're going down, for good, your-origaminess."
Olly chuckled a bit, "Oh dear, does that mean that I'll have to get rid of my company?" He turned to a folded splash on the wall, "Did you hear that, Princess...?"
Everyone perked up, seeing that Olly had unfolded Peach onto the wall, making her art.
Mario whispered, his eyes wide, "Peaci..."
Violet stammered, "S - she's a part of the origami castle!"
L stated, "Oh, pretty-princess-in-pink...what happened to you...?"
Olivia told her brother, "You monster! Folding Princess Peach into the castle is too much. You've gone too far! You couldn't possibly do anything worse! Except... Wait..." That's when she gasped. Olivia perked up, "All those paper cranes... You wouldn't..."
Olly confirmed, "I would. And I did. Witness the Thousand Cranes technique! He who has the patience to fold 1,000 origami cranes shall have any wish granted. That is real, ultimate power, and I shall use it to turn every last one of those wretched Toads into mere blank paper."
Bowser blurted out, "What?! That's crazy talk. The Toads can't come back from that, you know. I wouldn't do that. And I've done some mean stuff. Ask anyone!"
Mario confirmed, "That is true."
Violet blinked, "What do you even have against the Toads anyways?"
Olly stated, "Yeah, Sensei is a Toad!"
Olly explained, "I know that! He's the whole reason I'm doing this! That fool disrespected the very paper I'm made of... He scribbled all over it!"
L did a double take, "Scribbled...?"
Olly confirmed, "Yes and now I bear this hideous scar of his negligence and disregard for origami... And he shall pay!"
Olivia blinked, "That's why you're doing this?! But even if you're mad at him, why take it out on all of the other Toads?"
Olly huffed, "If you've seen one Toad, you've seen them all! They're all the same to me! That's why I'm turning them into blank scrap pieces of paper. So I never have to see a single one of their stupid faces again!"
Mario huffed, "The only stupid face I see is yours!"
L stated, "Good one, sir-jumps-a-lot!"
Mario just smiled a bit. Olly ignored them, "That...is my vision for a glorious origami kingdom."
Violet gritted her teeth, "I say we origami his face!"
Bowser said, "Oh yes, agreed!"
Olly replied, "Mhm. As for you, the heroes of the kingdom. You've proven to be quite annoying. But there's nothing you can do now to stop me. Already, 999 of my cranes are complete..."
Mario paled for a second, "Wait, is that why you made my brother and my girlfriend into origami?! To eliminate the Toads?!"
Violet added, "And it sounds like he's saving the last one for us!"
Bowser growled, "Listen, no one messes with Mario! Except me."
L jumped in front, "And me. Let's do this!"
Olly flipped his hair, "After I defeat you... I'll honor your paper by folding you into the very last cranes! Your adventure ends here, heroes. I will fulfill my dream. If you don't fold willingly... I shall bend you to my will by force!"
Olly forced Bowser to the side and that's when the heroes started to fight Olly.
