Amie asked, "So who did frame us, anyways?"
Jorgen answered, "It was Red Arrow influencing my cousin, Marion. Red Arrow is in prison now."
Amie breathed a sigh of relief, "And your cousin?"
Jorgen stated, "Serving time with Nana."
To that, Amie laughed. She was relieved that she didn't have to worry about that anymore.
...
Meanwhile, Mario was facing Bowser. The hero of the kingdom had activated his Firebrand. The sacred violet ice had activated her Aurora Nine. The princess was fighting hand-to-hand. So far it didn't seem like any difference. Bowser was about to gloat but a crackle of thunder caught his attention.
Bowser started to say, "Hey..."
That's when they all saw Luigi. Mario made a happy noise. His brother was okay! Spettro howled happily. His mater was okay.
Peach and Violet said together, "Luigi!"
Luigi growled at Bowser, "Leave my brother and my friends alone!"
Bowser laughed, "Or what, Greenie?"
Luigi kicked Bowser away with a thunderous kick. Everyone came over to the man in green, hugging him tightly.
Peach commented, "Oh thank goodness you're back, Luigi."
Violet stated, "We were getting worried, Weegie."
Luigi told them, "I didn't mean to worry anyone." He gave Violet a quick kiss. Violet happily accepted. Luigi petted Spettro, who was licking him like crazy. Luigi pleaded, "Stop! Okay, okay! That tickles!" Spettro stopped, as Luigi went over to his brother, "Boy am I glad to see you. You have no idea how worried I've been..." That's when he noticed something. He asked, "Malleo...? What's wrong? You hardly said one word..."
Peach and Violet didn't know how to tell Luigi. They were about to tell him, for Mario, when the red clad plumber waved them off. Mario looked at his worried baby brother. He never meant to worry his brother. That's when Mario showed Luigi what Dimentio had done to him. Luigi was dumbfounded.
He stammered, "Y - you lost your voice...?"
To that, Mario could only nod sadly. That's when the hero of the kingdom had a flash.
...
-Flashback: 'My Younger Brother'-
Luigi was about 15 and Mario was 17 when they came back to Mushroom Kingdom with their parents, Mario Sr. and Lucinda Manfredi after living in Italy for about 3 years. Mario Sr. was the spitting image of Mario but older and heavier. Lucinda was a beautiful Italian woman with long brown hair, stunning blue eyes, wearing a green dress and brown dress shoes. Her face features were much like Luigi's. Anyways, the two boys were nervous about returning home. They knew things wouldn't be the same.
However, Toadsworth welcomed the Manfredi's back with open arms. Princess Peach did the same, blushing at a teenage Mario. Mario also blushed at the teenage Peach, waving to her. Peach then cast her gaze upon Luigi. He was cute but not as cute as Mario. Toadsworth declared that the kingdom would celebrate their return. The kingdom agreed to this as Mario Sr. and Lucinda smiled. Italy was a nice but it just wasn't home. The evening of the party turned into a terrible thunderstorm with pouring rain.
Luigi, even though he was 15, hid in the closet of a guest room in the castle fearful of storms and especially thunderstorms. Toadsworth told Mario Sr. and Lucinda (since Mario didn't want to leave Luigi alone), that the boys could stay over for the night til the storm blew over. Mario Sr. and Lucinda agreed to this, giving their boys a goodbye hug and kiss. However, it was the last one that they ever got. The road that Mario Sr. and Lucinda drove on was too wet. Mario Sr. lost control of the car...
The news hit the kingdom faster than a wildfire in a forest. Everyone was shocked that in an instant, Mario and Luigi were orphans. The red hated teen was shocked blamed his green hated teen brother but eventually healed over time. The green hated teen...was a different story. He believe that the red hated teen was right when Mario blamed him for what happened. Mario apologized for it and Luigi forgave him. Ever since, the two stuck together...standing side-by-side...protecting each other forever.

Back in Sonic's world, he was really confused to what all was going on. Unlike everyone else, he had no clue that Nibiru was happening nor that the fact that all of the villains were coming together to try to wipe everyone off of the face of the Earth.
"Sonic," a voice asked. Sonic turned and saw Amy standing there.
"Amy," he stated.
"Are you okay," she asked, a bit worried about him.
Sonic shrugged and answered, "Not really, I feel like something big is happening and we have no clue what it is."
"But what is it and how come no one has even tried to tell us what is going on," Amy questioned, confused.
Sonic shrugged unsure as he took Amy's hands into his. She blushed as he told her, "Whatever is going on, I'm not gonna let anything happen to you, I promise."
Amy replied, her voice almost leaving her, "Thank you, Sonic."
"No, thank you, Amy," Sonic responded.
With that, Sonic kissed Amy, making her blush even more. She eventually returned the kiss, still much in shock.

-Flashback: 'Goodbye, John and Pete'-
After John and Pete said goodbye to their grandfather at his funeral, they went over to Abigail Dinkley's office. Abigail Dinkley was Velma's aunt who was a lawyer, who handled wills and such. Anyways, her door opened and in came her secretary.
A secretary said to her, "Miss Dinkley, a Mr. John and Pete Pichu are here to see you."
"Send them in," ordered Abigail. The secretary nodded and headed out to the waiting room. Abigail was the lawyer for Steve Raichu, John and Pete's grandfather.
She had set up the will so when he passed away, John and Pete would inherit it. That's when John and Pete entered the office.
Abigail said, "Well, John and Pete, good to see you, given the circumstances."
Pete responded, sadly, "Yeah, that's the way our luck has been going especially lately."
John told Abigail, "We're here to sign the papers for the deed."
Abigail nodded and said, "I figured you would."
She opened her desk door and got the papers out. She looked at them both, the famous Pichu brothers.
She explains to them, "This deed signifies that you two are the owners of the land and you can do whatever you want with it." She pauses and asks, "So, what are you going to do?"
John started to answer, "Well….."
Pete interjected, "We haven't talked it over yet but we'll see what happens."
Abigail nodded, understanding. She said to them, "All right here you go."
At that moment, she passed over the paper and they both sign it. John looked at Pete, smiling. Pete also looked John, smiling.
They said to the other, "We got what we want."
That's when they slid over the paper back over to Abigail and left the offices, still haunted by the last adventure they had here with their grandfather. John and Pete started to go towards their old playhouse after talking to Abigail when Trap stopped them.
Trap told them, "I'm sorry but I can't let go to the playhouse."
Pete told Trap, "But, we just want to say hello to our friends."
John added, "Yeah and tell them that we're staying."
Pete nearly froze at this. He spun around to his older brother and he was BEYOND surprised.
He asked, "Say what?"
Trap asked, just as surprised, "You are?"
John nodded and answered, "Yeah."
Trap says to them, noticing Pete's surprised look, "I'll leave you two alone."
Trap expanded his wings after saying that, took off, and left.
Pete asked, curious, "What about the island?"
John answered, with a question of his own, "What about it?"
Pete told his brother, shaking his head in disbelief, "I thought we agreed to go back."
John corrected, "Correction. You agreed to go back. Not me."
Pete asked, getting mad, "What does Chicago have that the island doesn't?"
John answered, also getting mad, "Freedom. You know as well as I do that we were never supposed to end up there. It was all a mistake."
Pete was mad now and yelled, "Jonathon Patrick Pichu, how DARE you say that! Kicking the Evil Twins butt, naming and the rebirth of the Light was all a mistake? John, you can see the powers we have on the island. We're invincible."
John responded, "No we're not. That's how I feel here not there. Don't you get it?"
Pete shot back, crossing his arms in front of his chest, "Oh, I get it. Funny thing is that this isn't the worse thing to ever happen to me." He paused and started to ask, "How dare you turn your back against me and against…?"
John warned his younger brother, "Don't say it."
Pete was unfazed by his older brother's threat. He was just as powerful as his brother and could battle him to a stalemate and NOT even flinch.
He finished, "Crash. How dare you turn your back against the one person who is like a father to you and to us both?"
John shot back, "Yeah, well. Who died and made him our father?" That's when Pete slapped John across the face, angry. John rubbed his left cheek and said, upset, "You hit me."
Pete responded, coldly, "And for good reason. You know, maybe we should go our separate ways. It would be good for both of us. You stay here and I'll go to N. Sanity Isle - it's where we belong."
That's when Pete started to run off.
John called after him, "I thought running off was my thing."
Pete shot back, "It is. I'm just running away from the monster you've become."
That's when Pete ran off and John called after him, "PETE!"
