(Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes ost - Malice and Misgiving)
"Bowser, I need to discuss with you about something." Mona said as she and Bowser are in a private room.
"What is it, Mona?" Bowser asked.
Oh, wait, hold on a moment." Mona said as she cast her magic to form a barrier around them. "Okay good, we can't have eavesdroppers or someone spying on us. Okay, it's about Antasma, Mariabell, and Maleficent. I've used my scryglass on them and what I found is very concerning. Well... we already know Antasma's history and his actions... considering he's a villain like you. And Mariabell... I don't know why... but when I try to look into her, my scryglass was being interfered with by some force. I guess it's the same as Vita. But Maleficent... I'm afraid she is someone we need to be careful and not trust. Espcually with her Cohorts. It was difficult because darkness keep interfering with my divination, but Maleficent is truly dangerous to be allies and around with. I just discover that she's responsible for drowning several worlds into darkness. She desires to control all the worlds to form her own image and spread darkness throughout them. She's no different than Xehanort."
"Hmm..." Bowser folds his arms as he rubs his chin. "So she's like Xehanort's female counterpart?"
Mona nodded. "Yes. But that depends if you truly wish to ally with her for her conquests. But I doubt you would like that."
"Hmm... I can't say I do... however, I know what Darkness can do. I rather not have another threat pose to our world, not to mention the Heartless. We already got Xehanort and his organization taken care of. The last thing we need is more. Espcually with Osborne."
"Right. But why is Maleficent here in this world? I can only speculate that she's here for the Dream Stone... Just like Mariabell."
Bowser folds his arms and think. "Can't be surprised considering its powers."
"What should we do? Do you really intend to team up with Antasma, Mariabell and Maleficent?" Mona asked.
"Of course not. I don't know why but I feel Antasma will betray me or at least, make use of me. But little does he know I'm on to him. And I'm using him, right back."
"You're planning on double-crossing him."
"Damn, straight I am." Bowser smirked. "We'll allow Antasma to hold the Dream Stone for now. After all, we're going to make use of it with the resources we need. And we also need to be careful with Mariabell and Maleficent."
"Right. Mariabell's only interest is getting her hand on the Dream Stone and using it for whatever reasons. That is why she's cooperating with Antasma until they complete their end of the bargain. Still... makes me wonder if Antasma will indeed be true to his words to Mariabell... knowing the Dream Stone is too dangerous for evil to get their hands on it." Mona wondered. "So what are you planning on doing after we snatch the Dream Stone from under them?"
"We will use its powers for my own conquest... and for other reasons that we might need. First, let's gather Crow and the others into a secret meeting to discuss about those three and their cohorts."
"Got it." Mona nodded.
Meanwhile with Maleficent...
"You vant me to vhat?" Antasma asked.
"Use the Dream Stone to create another castle... however... it will be for my own imagination." Maleficent explained. 'And for me to control.' "Having another castle as backup is always a good thing to be prepared."
"But vee have everything we need to conquer the vorld. I see no reason vhy we need another one... then again... I suppose I can create another one." Antasma pull out the Dream Stone.
"Good." Maleficent let out an evil smirk. "Dream Stone... create my castle!" Maleficent command as the Dream Stone glow and then begin to materialize another castle, but with Maleficent's own image... and one under her own control and summoned.
Maleficent's floating castle resembles Neo's Bowser's Castle in every detail, however, with her own image.
"Excellent." Maleficent smirked. "Now, if you excuse me. I have to... survey... the spare castle." Maleficent said as she teleported to said castle balcony. "Yes. This Castle is perfect. And now it's fully mine. I have all from Neo Bowser Castle from here. Now It is time to discuss how to take the Dream Stone from those fools' hands."
(BGM ended)
To the group...
Everyone hopped out of the dream portal as Luigi and Altina woke up.
"Hooray! You're all back!" Klee cheered.
"I take everything went well?" Albedo asked
"No. Unfortunately, we were all doop. The Princess Peach that we took to the dream world was actually Arval in disguise." Lea told them.
"I see. So the princess was actually an imposter. Very good. Now-" Toadsworth blinked along with Starlow for a moment.
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Shocking!)
Until it hit them.
"WHAAAAAAAAT?! SHE WAS AN IMPOSTER!?" Both Toadsworth and Starlow yelled.
"Huh... you mean... she isn't the princess?" Klee asked.
"Yeah. The real Princess Peach was already been taken... and we have been played right into Bowser's hand." Rean said.
"Breathe old boy… breathe… br… eathe…" Toadsworth fainted as Scoutland pop out of his Pokeball.
"Oh boy…" Gray muttered.
"What happened?!" Starlow asked.
"Let's go talk with Broque Madame and Alhatham back in the shop." Rean advised.
"Okay..." Yui nodded.
One Toadsworth revival and journey back to Broque Madame's store later...
"I see... I suppose it was to be expected." Alhatham said.
"You mean you knew this would happen?!" Starlow asked.
"Considering the relationship between Mario, Peach and Bowser as a cycle, yes. This happen because you wanted to protect her while she stay in the building which is the incorrect choice. Bowser and even his men predicted such an obvious situation. So they already come up with plan where you all dance in the palm of their hands. So this is your fault for choosing such an obvious plan."
"Grrrr!"
"Given the situations before this result happen, I would have informed you that she still accompany you until you reach the Dream World. That way, kidnapping Peach would possibly be impossible for Bowser."
"This is an outrage!" Toadsworth exclaimed as he paced around the room. "To think that one of Bowser's minions- who was it again?"
"Arval, Shez's younger brother." Emma answered
"That Arval would dress up and mimic the princess perfectly! I know the princess inside and out since I raised her as a young girl! Argh! How did I not see that!"
"Even I am shocked and we knew each other since we were babies. Arval really acted Peach well." Daisy muttered.
"Don't forget that Bowser also has Crow, and Mona at his side. Can't say about Roman but I could say Neo is clever enough, would predict our movement." Levi sighed.
"Don't forget Maleficent too." Sora added.
"And Signora." Paimon added.
"And Magica." Donald added.
"I suppose Mariabell counts, considering she's an Anguis. But man, that Noel kid is also another one who can predict this." Randy muttered.
"Oh geez, what are we going to do?" Captain Toad asked.
"Rescue Peach of course! But the question is how can we get into Neo Bowser Castle." Starlow said.
"That's a good question. However, I don't think we can, even if we wanted too." Toadette said. "That castle is way up in the atmosphere!"
"Not to mention there's also a barrier that looks impenetrable. I don't think any form of means is able to break it, even with the strongest. And I don't think even the Divine Knights are capable of breaking it." Albedo said.
"How can you be so sure?" Starlow asked.
"I think Albedo might be right. Even if Valimar and I flew up there, the castle has a defense mechanism that can shoot me down. And I'm not sure even if my powers with Valimar's power might be capable of breaking through." Rean muttered
"But didn't you break Vita's barrier back then?" Luigi asked.
"No, that was Kamek." Mario corrected him.
"Oh, right."
"There has to be some way, right?" Lucy asked as they began thinking of ways, as Broque Madame simply drank her tea.
(BGM ended)
"Perhaps you could ask Dr. Snoozemore." Broque Madame suggest as they all looked at her.
"Doctor Who?" Happy asked.
"You know, that island proprietor when we came to the island." Carla replied.
(Kingdom Hearts II 2.5 ost - Sora)
"Oui, he is back at Pi'illo Castle. He might know a way to help vous." Broque Madame said
"That's right! A learn mind like him who been studying my people and the island's history know of a way to break that barrier and enter the castle!" Dreambert said "After all, Neo Bowser's Castle is created by the Dream Stone. If Professor Snoozemore knows something to break that barrier, then we have a chance to retrieve both the Dream Stone but also rescue Princess Peach."
"Then it's settled! Let's head to Pi'illo Castle and talk to Dr. Soozemore!" Sora said
"In that case, I'll also be joining you. I could learn more something along the way." Alhathan said as they all took off while Toadsworth, Albedo, Klee and some of the Toads decided to stay behind for now as they hopped into the warp pipe to Pi'illo Castle.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi: Dream Team ost - Break at Pi'illo Castle)
As they arrive in Pi'illo Castle, they begin to walk around until they bump into Broque Monsieur who spotted them.
"Oh Everyone! You're here!" Broqus Monsieur exclaimed. " I have news! Dr. Snoozemore is-"
We heard. You can take Broque Madame for the news." Roxas said
"Ah! Vonderful!
"Do you know where he is?" Kairi asked.
Oui. Zee professor retired to the Underground collection room, you know, where you first meet Prince Dreambert.
"Thanks!" Xion said as they walked off as they ran off, where they met up with Dr. Snoozemore.
"Professor Snoozemore!" Starlow called out as he turned around
(BGM paused)
"Hmm? Oh, hello!" Dr. Snoozemore said and then looked at them. "Ah! if it isn't the famous Mario Bros, the Ashen Chevalier... no... Class VII, and the ones from Fairy Tail!" He exclaimed. "... That's odd, weren't there more of Class VII members?"
"Oh, you must mean my classmates. They've graduated." Rean explained.
"Ah, right, right! My apologies. I also took the liberty of inviting all the other Class VII members... but apparently, my snoozing got the better of me and I forgot. But I'm glad I managed to send out invitations to some of you... at least. In any case, Welcome to Pi'illo Island." He said... before he suddenly sleep while standing up.
"Hey Professor, are you awake?" Kirito waved at him.
"Hm- Oh ah! Oh dear, sorry. My habits have taken over again. As well as I'm researching sleeps and dreams."
"So you say." Lea said.
"Professor, we need your help! Pi'illo Island is in grave danger!" Dreambert exclaimed.
(Ace Attorney Investigations Miles Edgeworth ost - Noisy People)
"Hm?" Snoozemore blinked as he examine Dreambert. "HMMMM?! I-It can't be! Is this... A PI'ILLO!? Oh my god! I thought the Pi'illo are extint! Humana Humana Humana Humana Humana Humana!" He then trip on a box. "OOF!" He yelped as he crash into move boxes and crash into one of the walls.
"OOOH!" The group winched as Snozoemore burst out of the boxes. "Well, that certainly woke me up." He said... before he fell asleep. "...Zzz." He snore, causing the others to anime fall.
"Oh for the love of, WAKE UP!" Celine yelled.
"I'll get some snacks and water." Venti said as he walk out.
(BGM ended)
Several long minutes later…
(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Arcane Code)
"Hmm... I see... So much has transpire while I was away... But that does explain the strange events that I witness when I arrive... and the rumors about the Pi'illo are slowly being revived..."
"That's our doing." Altina said. "But that aside, the Island is in grave danger, thanks to Antasma, Bowser and their allies."
"What's more, their castle is within the atmosphere of the world with an impetrate barrier." Alice added.
"As well as Princess Peach been taken right under our noses." Yui added.
"And you all plan to infiltrate the castle." Snoozemore asked.
"That's right. Once within, we can strike down Antasma once and for all. Alas, we do not have the manpower nor how can we possibly infiltrate such a powerful force? We hope that you study the island, hope that your wisdom to guide the way." Dreambert said.
"Hmm..." Snoozemore rub his chin... er... cloud or something as he walk around. "I can understand why you seek me..." He said turn to the statue. "There is only one thing that might be able to help you all."
"Really? What is it?" Daisy asked.
"The Zeekeeper."
"The Zeekeeper?" Ventus tilt his head.
"If I recall, the Zeekeeper is said to be the Island's guardian and deity of the Pi'illo who has been protecting Pi'illo island for more than two millennia, correct." Emma asked
"The very same. I believe that somewhere in my notes that the Zeekeeper also forge the Dream and Dark Stones back in ancient times. If that castle was created by the Dream Stone, then the guardian is the only one who can shatter the barrier. If you can find the guardian... you can infiltrate the castle." Snoozemore said.
"But where can we find the legendary guardian?" Aqua asked.
"The Dream World."
"The Dream World?" Terra asked. "I guess that make sense."
"In that case, we need to head into the Dream World." Annette said.
"But the thing is... where can we find the Zeekeeper?" Elliot wondered.
"Prince Dreambert." Snoozemore turn to him. "As someone who is well-traveled within the dream world, surely you have a clue to the Zeekeeper whereabouts."
"Hmm..." Dreambert rub his chin. "I recall something back in Dreamy Pi'illo Castle... A statue... somewhere..."
"Then maybe that statue might hold the location to the Zeekeeper!" Aether said.
"In that case, time to head off to the dream world!" Paimon stated as they nodded as they turn to Luigi and Altina who nodded and then head to Prince Dreambert's Bed as Dreambert change into a pillow, Luigi and Altina got themselves comfortable and open up a dream portal as Dr. Snoozemore's jaw dropped.
"Is that... A dream portal?! Not just one… but two merge into one?! I must put more research into this!" He exclaimed as everyone hopped on in.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Dreamy Castle Rendezvous)
As they landed and the Dreamy Duo appeared, Dreambert appeared next.
"Over there!" Dreambert said as he guided them to the door close to the Dream Portal. "If my memory serves me well... beyond that door is the statue I once remembered Let me open it." He said as he use some magic on it to open it as they walked in.
"Hey, you know I just thought of something." Gajeel said.
"What is it?" Lily asked.
"Doesn't the Fairy Godmother know about the Zeekeeper? I mean Yen Sid knew Roselina, even the Celestial Spirit King, right?"
"That's a good question. It could be possible." Erza muses.
"Wouldn't hurt to ask. But how can we call the Fairy Godmother?" Gray asked.
"Hmm... maybe you need to dream really hard?" Juvia wondered.
"Or maybe you can just call her by her name?" Wendy asked.
"Hold that off for now, look." Carla pointed as they see a crack on the ground which it glow in light.
"Isn't that..." Lucy paused.
"That looks like the entrance to the Dream Deep." Musse said.
"Ooh I was afraid of that..." Lucy muttered as they jump right in.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi: Dream Team ost - Dream's Forbidden Depths)
"Yikes... we're back in this creepy place..." Juna gulpted.
Kurt spotted something up ahead. "Wait... what's that over there?" He pointed as they turn and see a mysterious clockwork-like dreamy statue of the Zeekeeper... it looks more like a blueprint.
"Yes... this is the one. I remember now..." Dreambert said as he close his eyes. "My... how many years has it been since I lay eyes on this very statue? I was so very young..."
"You mean you enter the Dream's Deep before?" Aether asked.
"Yes. I wanted to learn how to summon the Zeekeeper. It was not easy to call him. At the time. I had no idea how to summon him. Yet I remember meeting him back in the real world." Dreambert turn to the statue. "This statue holds many secrets to the Zeekeeper... but the question it... how to activate it..."
"Hey guys!" Dreamy Luigi called out from a distance as he looking at a switch before pressing it, causing it to activate a light to one of the statue's eyes.
"One of the lights activated!" Dreamy Altina said.
"Maybe we need to find more switches? That's how things operate, right?" Ash asked.
"Looks like it." Elliot nodded "Come on, let's go explore around." He said as they took off to find more switches to activate it.
They encountered some Dark Blocks which they quickly got rid of. They proceeded forward where they soon came across a Luiginary and Altinanary work.
"Inconceivable! You can use a Luiginary and Altinanary in the Dream Deep as well?" Dreambert said in awe. "But the question is... how?" He wondered as Dreamy Luigi thought for a moment until he snap his finger and whisper in Mario's ear.
"Oh! Good idea Bro!" Mario grinned as Luigi absorb into the Luiginary and call out Luiginoids and changed into a Luiginary Ball… and then it went downhill from there, literally as they were running over Dark Blocks with ease and rolling up a ramp before landing up higher.
"My, my, your imagination continues to impress!" Dreambert praised with a smile as the others join them... except for Venti and Dreamy Altina.
"Huh? Where's Venti and Dreamy Altina?" Daisy asked.
"WOOOHOOOO!" Venti yelled as Altinanoids formed into an Altinanary wheel as he landed. "That was fun!" He cheered as they all stared at her. "…What?"
"Seriously? You ride on top of a wheel and you didn't crash or even trip?" Ash asked.
"I'm a boy with many talents, Ash. Just as you when it comes to tactics with the brawl and the brain." He said as Dreamy Altina return to normal.
"Riiiight."
"Hmm... Well, we should be off." Eugeo said as they continue onward by using the Luiginary Ball and Altinanary Wheel to roll around the area as Dreamy Luigi proceeded to use a Hookshot from the Luiginary Ball to grab onto some hooks to get to higher areas.
"Remarkable! Wonder what will Dreamy Altina do." Dreambert said as Dreamy Altina form into a rope, using the other Altinanoids and use it to get to higher areas. "A rope! Excellent!" He said as they went the other way with Mario, Dreamy Luigi, Venti and Dreamy Altina hook and rope shooting their way around to landed in an area where roll their way, knocking out Dark Blocks and found a switch to activate another light from the Zeekeeper statue.
They continue making their way rolling to crush Dark Block until they arrive at the area where they use Luiginary Hookshot and Altinanary Ropes to get across multiple times to reach a higher area to reach a new entrance to a new area of the Dream Deep. As they enter a new area, they encounter gigantic blocks that not even their hammers were able to break them.
"Let me try." Natsu smirked. "FIRE DRAGON IRON FIST!" Natsu punched the block but nothing happen. "Say what?!"
"Ha! You're weak Salamaner! Let me show you how a professional does it!" Gajeel change his arm to sword. "IRON DRAGON SWORD!" He swing it with a heavy blow... but that didn't work." The hell!?"
"What's this about being professional?" Natsu said with a smirk on his face.
"Wipe that smirk off your face!"
Levi examine the block as he touch it. "Hmm... this is very durable. I don't think my Glaive nor my strength can handle it. Maybe my power can?"
"Hmm..." Dreamy Luigi think for a moment. "Oh wait, I got an idea!" He said and whispered it to Mario.
"Good Idea Bro" Mario grinned and formed the Luiginary Ball again.
"A ball again?" Riku asked as Mario quickly proceeded to spin around and take the Luiginary Ball for a ride, turning it into a Ball Hammer and destroying the blocks with ease, before throwing it and then it returned. "Whoa!"
"Impressive!" Dreambert exclaimed.
"You almost hit me!" Natsu yelled.
"Eh, you'll survive." Gray said.
"Wow. Looks like I need to resume my training." Levi muses.
"You're already stronger then me you know." Rean chuckled.
"But I rather be the Steel Maiden's equal. As well as taking down Mcburn." Levi wink.
"Hmm..." Venti rub his chin as he snap his finger. "Hey Altina." He said and whisper into Altina's ears.
"You think that could work?" Dreamy Altina asked as he nodded. "Here goes." She said as she switched to a wheel, then change into Morning Star and proceeded to slam it into the blocks with ease, destroying them to rubble. "Oh!"
"Woohoo! Way to go Allie!" Juna cheered as Dreamy Altina change back and high five Juna, then high five Venti, and then Dreamy Luigi.
"Shesh, you guys are having way to much fun." Ash said.
"You say it like you want to join in on the fun, Ash." Musse giggled.
"Hehehe, You know Rean. I'm suddenly inspired to do the same. Shall we form our own duo attack?" Levi asked.
"Hehehe, sure. But how can we do that?" Rean wondered.
"Maybe we'll find out along the way. But let's continue, shall we?" Levi suggest as they took off once more to smash their way the blocks until they climb up by Luiginary Hookshot and Altinary Rope to make their way to another block path where they use the Luiginary Ball Hammer and Altinanry Morning Star to break them, and found the last switch where Mario pressed it with his hammer.
"That should be all of them." Mario said. "Let's get back to the statue." He said as they took off back to the statue where all three eyes were lit up, and as they came over, they saw some strange characters written.
(BGM paused)
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Ancient Pi'illo Kingdom)
"Huh? Does anyone understand this?" Sora asked
"Oh, those are Pi'illo symbols! In other words, our language!" Dreambert said. "Allow me to take it from here."
"Emma, don't you have those glasses that can translate any language from Fiore?" Celine asked.
"Of course. I brought them with me just in case." Emma nodded as she put away her regular glasses and hen put on her magic glasses that resemble regular glasses but with a tough of magic to translate any language. "I just need to get up there."
"Allow me to help." Lily said as he summon his wings, pick up Emma, and flew toward the language.
"Thank you." Emma said before she tuck in her glasses. "Ah good, I can read them!"
"You can?" Dreambert asked.
"Yes. Through these special glasses. They're capable of translating any language."
"My goodness, I never knew such an extraordinary item exist. In that case, let's translate them together!" Dreambert said as Emma nodded and tuck in her glasses.
"Let's see... All those who seek the Zeekeeper's power, Ulti… Ulti…" Emma tilted her head. "Ultibed…? Oh! You must make a Ultibed."
"Hmm…" Dreambert mused and then continued. "The Ultibed… it is constructed of five parts. The Pajamaja Rock Frame, it rests on Mount Pajamaja. The Dozing Mattress sleeps in the Dozing Sands." He turned to Emma
"The Mushrise Tree Board rises in Mushrise Fields. Driftwood Jellyfish Sheets drift on Driftwood Shore and the Zeekeeper's feathers, an heirloom of Pi'illo Castle. All five parts must be assembled by a Bedsmith." Emma continued on.
"The Bedsmiths will gather on Wake Isle. Find the five parts, and give it to a Bedsmith. Only then can the Ultibed be completed." They both finished as they lowered back down to the ground.
"Mushrise Fields…" Aqua rub her chin. "That's the same name as Mushrise Park."
"The Wake isle also means Wakeport." Alice muses.
"Oh, something coming!" Eugeo said as something descended from above as a booklet appeared as he took it and open it. "Amazing! It's... a... what is it? A manual?"
"Looks like it. But it's also a tracker. It's an equipment that locates and tracks things downs to make things smoothly. This can really come in handy! With this, we can keep updates if we got it or not."
"Wow! How convenient!" Paimon said. "Still, this can relly come in handy!"
"Indeed. I believe we need Altina and Luigi to sleep on the Ultibed to find the Zeekeeper." Dreambert said.
"Right. If I can make a suggestion, why don't we split up into teams? There are five parts while there are at least forty-seven of us. Which each of us split into five teams, we can not only collect the pieces with a rapid pace, but also rescue your princess and the Dream Stone quickly then expected.
"Hmm, yes. I agree. Is everyone on board?" Dreambert asked as they nodded. "Excellent! Let's return and give the news!" He said as they nodded.
(BGM ended)
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Break at Pi'illo Castle)
They hopped out of the portal as Starlow, Yui and Altina's Squirtle looked at them.
"You're back! So how did it go?" Yui asked as Luigi and Altina woke up and hopped back up.
"Okay, turns out that in order to find the Zeekeeper, we gotta have a bedsmith to create a special bed. All five parts are scattered throughout the island. If we can collect them and take them to the Bedsmith, then reaching the Zeekeeper is close in hand." Randy explained.
"Really? A special bed that can take you so the Zeekeeper?! What a rema...r... Zzz..." Snoozemore fell asleep once more as the other sweatdrop.
"Okay, let's leave this old geezer to his nap." Ash said.
"In any case, we'll exploit up to give teams. One team goes to Mount Pajamaja, the other goes to Dozing Sand, Mushrise Park, and Driftwood Shore, and one team stays here in Pi'illo Castle and find the Zeekeeper's Feathers." Alhatham said.
"Ah, I know where the Zeekeeper Feather is! But it's within the dream world. So I require either Luigi or Altina or even both." Dreambert said.
"In that case, I'll stay here and help find the Zeekeeper's feathers." Luigi offered.
"Then I'll stay with you." Sora said.
"I'll join too." Aqua said.
"Count me in." Riku said.
"Same. Let me join in on the fun." Rean said
"Let me help too." Mickey said.
"I'll help out as well." Elliot said.
"What do you say, guys? The Fairy Tail squad going up Mount Pajamara again?" Natsu asked.
"I rather go somewhere like Wakeport or the beach." Lucy said.
"Aww don't be a buzzkill."
"Fine. It better be worth it..."
"I'll go to Mushrise Park." Emma said.
"I'll come along too." Ventus said.
"Count me in." Venti said.
"I'll go too." Altina said.
"I'll go too." Daisy said.
And so they begin to discuss which team aside from the ones who will stay in Pi'illo Castle. Team Luigi is Sora, Aqua, Rean, Luigi himself, Riku, Mickey and Elliot. Mushrise Park Team is Emma, Celine, Ventus, Venti, Altina, Daisy, Kirito, Eugeo, Namine and Roxas. Fairy Tail will take on Mount Pajamaja. Aether's team who will go to Dozing Sands are Asuna, Yui, Alhatham, Aether, Paimon, Lea, Annette, Terra, Kurt, and Juna. Team Randy is Ash, Kairi, Alice, Donald, Mario, Levi, Musse, Xion, and Goofy will head to Driftwood Shore.
"All right, now that our teams are established, we also shouldn't count the possibility that it possible that our items might be in the dream world." Alhatham told them.
"Indeed. Should that arise, please notified us." Dreambert said.
"Right. Let's go everyone." Rean said as all teams begin to split up.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile in Neo Bowser's Castle...
(Super Paper Mario ost - Swoon)
"WHAT THE ACTUAL HELL?!" Crow yelled as he lost to Peach in Vantage Master. "How the hell did you manage to beat me?!"
"Hehehe, I've play this game a couple of times with Daisy, Mario, Luigi, Lissa, Morgan, well... many people. Each of them are quite a clever thinker. And I figure you might be a clever schemer so I decided to think like a schemer." Peach answered with a giggle.
"Aw damn it! I knew I shouldn't go easy on ya. Anyway, princess, how's the ol' kidnapping life going?"
"Oh you know, the same old thing. Honestly, I had a feeling you guys might pull a clever switcharoo to fool the others."
"Well I mean it that predictable. No offense to Toadsworth but keeping you safe in a building is pretty much the dumbest move. Espcually with a building like that, or any other I suppose. If it were like a safe house, knowing Bowser, we would have just pulled the whole buildin', or just use magic to teleport in and take you. We thought of a lot."
"I suppose. Though I do feel bad for Arval. I can imagine how Mario or the others would feel." Peach sighed.
"Hehe, It was pretty damn funny. But knowing Arval, he's still pissed at us. But Arval did his job and made it back. Though looks like I might be able to get one major ass kicking." Crow shrug.
"Right. So Crow, mind if I change the subject for now?"
"Go ahead. What's on your mind?"
"Do you know that Maleficent character?" Peach asked
"Can't say I do... but..." Crow look around and lend in to Peach's ear. "I know that she's bad news. So far, Mona is looking into her. And Bowser appointed me as your guard to make sure Antasma or any one of Maleficent doesn't try anything funny." He whispered before pulling back."
"I see." Peach nodded.
"Lord Crow, Lord Bowser called your presence." A Goomba called him out.
"All right, give me a minute." Crow said. "Better see what's up. Anyway, I'll be gone for now, but the other soldier will watch over you. You know, the same thing. I'm sure you know this, but escaping here is pretty impossible."
"I'm aware. But I know Bowser enough to treat me well." Peach nodded as Crow got up and then walk out of her room.
(BGM ended)
After he left, Crow made his way the meeting room where in case something is going down back in Pi'illo Island.
(Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes ost - Malice and Misgiving)
Crow open the door and see his colleagues while Arval is still pissed off, but he made some recovery for the time being. "All right, I'm here."
"Good, now we wait for the others." Bowser said as Antasma appeared shortly after and soon, Mariabell, Noel, Natsume, Alban and finally, Maleficent's group. "Good, you're all here."
"Vhy did you call for a meeting?" Antasma asked.
"I just got a report from our scouts before. Apparently, those morons are up to something." He turn to the female Pegasus Knight. "Go ahead and tell them."
"Yes, of course." The Pegasus Knight bow. "Our scouts reported that Mario and his allies have split up into five teams throughout Pi'illo Island. They apparently seeking special bed materials that are scattered into five regions of the island."
"Bed materials? Why is that important?" Mariabell asked.
"According to our scouts who were hiding in Pi'illo's Castle, they seek to summon the Island guardian, the Zeekeeper."
"SKREEEK! THE ZEEKEEPER?!" Antasma eye widen in horror. "NO NO NO NO NO NO!"
"Whoa, what's with the panic there pal?" Pete asked.
"The Zeekeeper! He is Pi'illo Island's guardian deity! He is someone most troubling to deal with! He is one of those who seal me away! I just realized what they're planning! If they get find the Zeekeeper, we're all in trouble!"
"Why?" Roman asked
"Because the Zeekeeper is the only one who can break the barrier."
"What?! I thought you said the barrier is indestructible!" Bowser yelled
"It is... All except the Zeekeeper. The Zeekeeper was the one who help forge both Dream and the Dark Stone... The castle is built by the Dream Stone... and the Zeekeeper is capable of undoing anything the Dream and Dark Stone makes!"
"And why didn't you tell us this before?!"
"I vas not expecting they would learn about the Zeekeeper! Curses, Dreambert must have told them... We need to stop from summoning the Zeekeeper!"
"But how do we do that?" Shez asked.
"It's simple, they need the Ultibed to summon the Zeekeeper. However, if they can't get all the pieces to forge it, summoning the Zeekeeper is impossible."
"So we just need to get our hands on the bed materials for the Ultibed first." Magica fold her arms.
"How many pieces do they need to get forge the bed?" Signora turn to the scout.
"Five ma'am. They split up into a team of five for that purpose. One of the materials they require is within Pi'illo Castle. I believe it's the Zeekeeper's Feathers. While the other remaining are... the Dozing Mattress in Dozing Sand, Pajamaja Rock Frame in Mount Pajamaja, Mushrise Tree Board in Mushrise Park, and the Driftwood Jellyfish Sheets in Driftwood Shore."
"In that case, some of us should hurry back to the island and grab the materials." Noel said.
"Right. Tell me, do you know which team Natsu is in?" Alban asked
"The Fire Dragon Slayer? I believe he and his team are heading to Mount Pajamaja."
"Good. Because I'll be heading there and crush that fire-breathing idiot."

The Zeekeeper's Feathers - Luigi, Mickey, Elliot, Aqua, Rean, Sora, and Riku
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Break in Pi'illo Castle)
"So where is the Zeekeeper's Feather's at Prince Dreambert?" Mickey asked.
"If memory serves me right, I believe it is in the battle arena." Dreambert said.
"You have a battle arena in the castle?" Elliot asked.
"Yes. We use the arena for more than just entertainment and battling enemies. But also hone our combat abilities. I'll lead the way." Dreambert said as they walk their back back to the presentation room where they first learn about the Pi'illo Kingdom the first time and then make a left turn to the hall and arrive in the battle arena. "Ah, here we are!"
"Huh, it's next door to the presentation room." Rean muses.
"So how come it's here?" Riku asked.
"Err...good question. I can't seem to remember." Dreambert said, rubbing his Pillow head sheepishly. "All right then Luigi, let's begin."
"Got it!" Luigi nodded as Dreambert turn into a pillow as Luigi go himself comfortable and open a Dream Portal as the rest hope in.
(BGM ended)
"Guess I'll wait here." Starlow said. "...Huh. You know, I kinda miss having Yui or Altina's Squirtle keeping me company."
"If you like, I can keep you company." A voice said.
"Who said that?" Starlow turn and then someone appeared. "What the- Oof!" Then that someone knocks Starlow on the head.
In the Dream World…
"Huh. This is quite the arena." Elliot said as they look around. "So I'm guessing we have to fight someone to get the feathers, right?"
"Indeed. Now let's see who will our opponent be to reclaim the Zeekeeper's Feather." Dreambert wondered as they see the menu. "Oh. I see. It seem our opponent is that water robot."
"Oh yeah, I still feel bad for destroying it." Sora rub his head.
"It can't be helped. It's best that we brace ourselves for the next fight." Aqua said as they approach the arena as Dreambert press the button and then Grobot X appeared and it roared at them.
"All right let's do this everyone!" Riku said as they all took their stand as Dreamy Luigi jump and was absorbed by Sora... Until suddenly, phantom slashes appeared around the robot and completely destroy it as it exploded.
"Huh?" Sora blink. "What the heck?"
"Looking for something?" A voice called out to them as the Zeekeeper's feather descended down as it was suddenly snatched by the perpetrator.
It was none other then Noel.
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Constraint)
"Noel!?" Sora exclaimed.
"What are you doing here?" Riku asked.
"The same reason why you're all here. For this." Noel said, holding the Zeekeeper's Feathers.
"The Zeekeeper Feathers!" Elliot exclaimed.
"Hey gave it back!" Aqua demand.
"Sorry not a chance. We can't let you guys summons the Zeekeeper, can we?" Noel asked.
"How did you know what we were planning?!" Dreambert exclaimed. "What happens to Starlow?"
"Oh, she... taking a break. As for your plan... let's just say we have to take precautions. Even I was surprised when I learn about it. Sorry, I'll be taking this with me. So why don't you play with a new playmate? Something better then that watering machine." Noel suggest as he snap his finger and then a Ruin Guard suddenly appeared next to him.
"What is that!?" Aqua exclaimed.
"An Archaism? That looks like the one from before!" Rean exclaimed
"Meet the Ruin Guard. One of the new models of Archaisms I have been creating for the past two years. Unlike the regular Archiasm you've been facing, this one really packs some firepower. I'm sure he'll keep you busy."
"Sorry, but not happening." Riku took a stance. "We're not letting you leave with the Zeekeeper's Feathers."
"The last time someone said that to me, they usual wrong... although sometimes right... anyway-"
"Hold it." A new Voice said.
(BGM paused)
"Huh?" Noel blinked
(Rayman ost - Mr. Dark Encounter theme)
"If anyone call dibs on fighting them, it will be me." The voice said as Neve approached from the entrance.
"You're that guy from Mount Pajamaja!" Sora exclaimed
"And you are?" Noel asked.
"Remember that Mask Stranger during the time with the Organization?" Riku asked as Noel realized what he mean.
"Oooh... So you're that Mask Keyblade wielder... Why are you here?"
"It is as I said. I call dibs on fighting them. However, you appear to be quite strong. Care to join in, Enforcer?" Neve said as he summon his Keyblade
"No thanks. I have no interest in playing with you either. But if you are planning on fighting them... then you're doing me a favor. So who are you?"
"I suppose my identity will be found out eventually. I am Neve. A Keyblade Master. The reason why I'm here is to finish where I left off. Sora, you remember the answer you gave me about your strength came from your bonds with others?" He asked before he took a stance. "I've thought long and hard about it... even asking someone about it. They told me that the Power of Bonds is unlike any power from raw or strength. But power where multiple share their strength and combine into one unity force. I think I know where you got your strength from... from drawing the powers of others than your own. That makes you weak."
"Excuse me!? Weak?! That isn't weak!" Sora yelled.
"Is it? Then prove it to me." Neve said as his aura unleash once more. "If what you said is true... then show me this Power of Bonds."
"Ngh, we can't deal ith this guy nor can't let Noel escape with the Zeekeeper's feathers!" Riku growled.
"Well... while you guys have fun with him." Noel said as he snap his finger and his Ruin Guard disappeared. "I'll take my-" Noel suddenly sensed bloodlust and a stream of fire was launch at him as he dodge by jumping. "Now what?!"
"You..." A murderous voice growled as approaching them now was Cinder Fall who was really pissed.
"Huh? Isn't she-" Elliot paused.
"I remember you... Cinder Fall. One of Salem's minions. What are you doing here?" Noel fold his arms. "Don't tell me you're after the relic of the island."
"By "relic", you mean the Dream Stone, yes. However, ever since that very day, you took the Spring Maiden's powers from me... I was not only humiliated... disappointed... but also outraged that I lost everything! I was supposed to be the Spring Maiden... but you took that from me. I've searched high and low to find you... until now." Then she awaken the Summer Maiden's Powers and look enraged. "YOU DIIIE!" She lung herself toward Noel and then knock him to the next area, dropping the Zeekeeper's Feathers and launch herself to that next area.

"I'm not sure what was that all about, but I have no interest in that woman's revenge against him. But what I am interested in your skills. And... to face worthy opponents. Let's see if the power of bonds isn't some farce." Neve said.
"Ngh... I'm afraid we can't leave this barrier until you all defeat him." Dreambert muttered
"I guess it can't be helped. Fine. If it's a battle you want, then it's a fight you get!" Aqua declared.

(BGM ended)
Neve panted a few times before he got back on his feet. "So this is the power of bond... Where one's hearts form bonds with others... and create strength... It's no wonder you're unique..." He said looking at Sora as Dreamy Luigi jumped out of him.. "It's no wonder why Xehanort has his eye on you... and why he plans to make you his vessel... The power of bonds... It seems I still have much to learn still..."
"Neve, was it? Who are you?" Mickey asked "Why are you so interested in picking a fight with us?"
Neve said nothing as he got back on his feet. "I told you. I'm a Keyblade Master... I have a goal... to become the strongest Keyblade Master in existence... In order to do that... I require to face strong and worthy opponents... and face Keyblade Masters to achieve that goal. That is why I appear in the Graveblade Graveyard... to face powerful opponents... and then... face you. I have much to learn." He turn his back on them. "We'll meet again... and when we do... this time... I will not fall so easily... I'll let you have this win for now. Because I was still holding back." He said as he jump into the dream portal.
"He was holding back?" Riku asked, looking surprised.
"Yeah... I can certain he was... but who is he really?" Rean wondered.
"Good question. But we got what we needed at least." Dreambert said a Dreamy Luigi pick up Zeekeeper's Feathers and handed them to Sora.
"All right! We got the Zeekeeper's Feathers." He put it away before turning to the hole in the wall. "I wonder how-" Then he see Emerald and Mercury running away as Emerald was in tears and escape through the Dream Portal.
"What happens?" Mickey wondered as they look at each other.
Earlier...
(RWBY ost - Awake)
Noel grunted as he recovered from the attack and then see Cinder fly toward him and then crash with him as the result of a small shockwave. Then the two of them begin to go all out on each other as they clash their sword at each other. Until they push each other back.
"Those eyes... you become a new maiden?!" Noel growled. "Which Maiden did you become?"
"Are those supposed to be your final words? If so, then poor choices." Cinder said as shoot a stream of fire at Noel who use water to douse the flame and then zoom toward him and clash with him.
"You're mad at me because I took your maidens? Are you really that petty?" Noel asked as they clash.
"Do you have any idea how long I waited for power? They were mine before you took them! I will make you pay for that!" Cinder yelled as she blasted Noel away and then summon several fireballs and launch them at Noel who slice them.
"I was following orders, you can't false me for that." Noel said as the fire exploded behind him. "However, those powers do not belong to you. Espcually to that wretch Salem. But clearly, you're in no mood to talk until I'm dead. Tch, how annoying. Still, perhaps my lucky day." Noel releases his battle aura. "Not only I will take another maiden's power, but also kill you. You are beyond saving. That's why you made a big mistake."
Cinder growled and zoom toward Noel and clash Blades with him. Cinder launch cartwheel slashes as Noel roll out of the way and zooms toward Cinder as they clash at each other until they push each other back. Noel was ready to face Cinder until suddenly, she disappeared.
"Huh?" Noel look around until he sense intense bloodlust and then coming to him and then he block the surprise attack from Cinder and was pushed back. "Ngh!"
Noel recovered and then launch slash projection toward Cinder as she surround herself in a fiery tornado then pieces of the tornado to Noel as he backflip each attack until suddenly Cinder vanished.
'She keep disappearing?!' No I can sense her presence... but she's not alone... Ah, so that's why!' Noel thought as sensed Cinder's attack and then swipe but then Cinder while invisible dodged and blast Noel back.

"Your arm is not even human. It's Grimm." Noel said. "It's no wonder you're more vulnerable. Let's see how much it hurts once I cut it." Noel responds with a death glare.
Cinder growled in rage as her maiden power activated and zoom towards Noel as grab him, however, Noel created a water clone of himself and then Counterattack by kicking Cinder into the air and then extended his arm to grab her, but Cinder suddenly vanished, causing Noel to growled.

(RWBY ost - All Thing Must Die)
"There you are." Noel suddenly reappeared behind Emereld as she turn and look shocked and then Noel punch her in the gut, powerful enough to see a projection flew pass her, causing her to cough in shock, and launch her to the wall.
Noel then grab Mercury's face and then cartwheeled slammed him to the ground with a powerful force, then he let go of him, zoomed toward Emerald, and then as she recovered, then prepare to clash with him but she was soon overwhelmed and disarmed Thief's Respite to the side and Noel impales Emerald's abdomen, causing her to scream in pain, then grab her face, then toss her over him and they slam her had enough with force, then summon water from sword and impale Emerald's arm and legs, causing her to scream in agony as her aura shattered.
"Stay out of it." Noel then lifted his leg and stomped on Emereld's head to cause the ground before to create a crater.
Noel look up and see Cinder zoom toward him as Noel responds in kind, causing them to clash, creating a powerful shockwave to make the area rumble. Noel use his powers of water to shoot water to fly and then she and Cinder swing their blades at each other as Cinder pushes Noel back to the ground where he recovered. Noel summon several water swords and launch them toward Cinder as she flew around to avoid them as they explode the area. Cinder created a sword imbued with the Maiden's power and then launch them toward Noel as he toss them aside, Cinder then zoom and landed on the ground as she conjured a sword and then lung toward Noel as they clash and swing at each other with parries. Noel gracefully dodge Cinder's upcoming slash and then counterattacked by combo slashes and push her back, then Cinder place her hand on the ground, sending lava toward Noel where he stomp his feet, summoning water to cool the lava where Cinder created another sword and launch it at Noel as he deflect it, only for Cinder to flew toward him and then grab his neck and slam him on the ground to choke him.
Noel smirked as he change his body to water and slip through Cinder's group as she look shocked as Noel quickly reformed and kick Cinder in the gut to knock her into the air as she recovered.

He said as he created a large domain with watery form flowers rose up and explode it's petals into razer blades to struck at Cinder. That was his Craft: Garden of Aquarius.
Cinder growled and launch herself to Noel, but he took a stance for a counterattack where Cinder strike him, was struck an afterimage of him where several of him surround Cinder and each launch a flurry of slashes onto him, causing her to scream in pain and the real Noel slash through Cinder, shattering her aura as she fell onto the ground.

(Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity ost - Disquiet)
As Cinder struggle to get up, Noel walk toward Cinder as his white blade disappeared and Noel pulls summon a water portal where he reach out and pull a device, the same Device that was used on Cinder to steal the Maiden's power. Noel stomp on Cinder's back and then slice off Cinder's Grimm hand, causing her to scream in agony as it waving, almost as it was alive, until it completely cut off Cinder's Grimm Arm and then summon a waste bubble to trap it, causing it blades of watcher within to completely destroy it for good before the bubble popped. Noel stomp on Cinder's head to the ground.
"I've been researching you Cinder Fall. Ever since I found out that you are one of Ouroboros' enemies, I look into your past. You were abused by your evil adopted mother and adopted sisters... which cause the creation of you. And then you kill them. To be honest, you and I are somewhat alike. I was born into a horrible family. In the end, I kill my family because they are devils... just like those people who adopted you. I understand what you have gone through... however... you could have chosen a better path instead of this lust for power. This is what led you to your downfall. You think you deserve such powers because it's within your "right"? Such naivety. You think too highly of yourself. You think you can get your revenge on me just because I was doing my job. Now look where it got you." He said as he summon water chains to restrain Cinder, remove his feet from her and then face her with the device ready.
To Cinder's horror to relive that very moment, Noel places the device on Cinder's forehead as it attaches to her, then begin to drain the Maiden's power, causing her to scream in agony as she try to remove it, but the chains forbid her to move as she shakes her head, hoping to smash it, however, Noel use his water ability to attack Cinder's head to stop her while the device is completely taken away her maiden power. Noel removes the device from Cinder's forehead and then check on it and see he has indeed recovered the Summer Maiden's power.
"N... No... NOOOOOO! NOT AGAAAAIN!" Cinder screamed as Noel put the device away.
Noel summons his light blue sword and completely cut off Cinder's other arm as she screams in agony, making her completely armless as Noel snaps his finger and summons water-form swords and impale Cinder's legs and abdomen, causing her to scream in agony as Noel look down on her with a death glare.
"Let me ask you something." Noel grab Cinder's neck and lifted her as he summon his light-blue Aetherius. "You think you're entitled to everything just because you suffered? Such arrogance and insolence. You've forgotten that I am stronger than I was two years ago. You let your petty revenge let you to your death. You should have stay in the shadows and learned to control your temper and choose your actions more carefully. If you did, you could have avoided all of this. Perhaps I'll be doing Salem a favor. Farewell... Cinder Fall. May you die into the eternal flames of Gehenna where you belong." He said... and then he beheaded her.
Cinder's head roll to the ground as Noel drop Cinder's corpse and summons water-form sharks.
"Dispose of it." He ordered and the sharks begin to tear Cinder's remains until nothing left
As Emerald recovered, she eye widen in horror as tears stream from her eyes, causing her to retake her weapon and charge and scream at Noel to avenge Cinder and attack him.
"Idiot." Noel reappeared behind Emerald and a large slash appeared on Emerald's guts as she collapse. "Do you plan to avenge your comrade?"
"Yes!" Emerald yelled as she glare at him with tears." Cinder was family, you took her away!"
"You call her family? You really are a stupid girl." Noel taught as he stomp on her back, causing her to scream in agony. "Listen well, Emerald Sustrai... If you value your life I suggest you don't choose the same path as Cinder. After all, blind grief makes you angry and destructive. But also reckless and careless. If you think you can use your Semblence to fool me, then I can cut you down, just as did with Cinder." Noel said as he summon blades of water very close to Emerald, causing her to feel fear for her life, knowing she stood no chance against him. "So then Emerald, what will you do? Will you go the same path as Cinder and avenge her? Or will you choose a better path and be smart? Tick... tack..."
"BETTER PATH! I CHOOSE A BETTER PATH!" Emerald yelled, causing Noel to remove his boot from her back as he walk away.
"Wise choice. I'll allow you and the other one to live. But if you plan to take your revenge, I'll kill you before you try anything funny." Noel said as a teleportation circle appeared. "Thanks to that wretch... I've lost the Zeekeeper's Feathers... here's hoping the others managed to claim it." He said before he disappeared, causing Mercury to help Emerald up as she sob and cry and then they both ran to the Dream Portal and escape.
Man, this was an insane chapter. You saw it folks, Cinder is dead. I'm not sure if either of you are happy or sad that she's gone. But should anything come to mind, she can be brought back. The Summer Maiden's power now belongs to Ouroboros... Wow, how much more dangerous can they be now? Oh, and if any of you are thinking I'm giving Ouroboros way to much advantage... think again.
Oh yeah, Still not done with the game so brb!
