Dateline July 29, 1206: Saturday
(Blazblue ost - Lakeside)
"Miss Reinford, I brought over the report for the new generations of the orbal staff." A Staff brought over a document and handed it over to Alisa as she checked it out professionally.
"Hmm..." She mumbled to herself and nodded. "Excellent. I was expecting this result. It's good to have a hunch. Were there any trouble related to the orbments and the data?"
"Well there was a problem with the orbal radio waves in Crossbell. But turns out that a Magneton being a little mischief."
"Yeah, Magneton and it's preevolve form along with Magnezone are capable of producing EMP that can destroy computer software. Speaking of that, are the Magnemites doing okay?" Alisa asked.
"Oh they are. Oh! I almost forgot, there are some new data that was discovered." The staff said as he handed over the new document to Alisa as she look it over.
"Huh. Not what I expected. But this can be useful... It just give me a new idea... especially with the protection of EMP in emergency situations. Thanks you for the word."
"Oh it's no problem at all. I should get back to my post now."
"Of course. Keep up with the good work." Alisa nodded as the staff left, at the right time, Sharon came in with tea and snacks.
"Working hard as usual my lady." Sharon greeted with a warm smile as behind her was Alisa's Clefable.
"Clefable!" Alisa's Clefable greeted as they approached Alisa and place in the snacks on her table.
"Thanks Sharon, Clefable!" Alisa smiled as she took in the snack and took a bite. "Mmm~ Is this a new recipe Sharon?"
"Nothing like that, My Lady. But I've learned some new recipes to add to my repertoire. Clefable help me make it."
"Hehe. You two get along great. That reminds me. How are Typhlosion, Mawile, Salamence, Electivire and Magnezone doing?"
"Well Typhlosion has been working hard keeping monsters away from the city and from the mines. Mawile is helping me clean the kitchen, Salamence continues to keep up with security on the roof, Elecivire has excellently provided backup power and is currently resting before going back to face more monsters to keep the city at bay. And Magnezone is monitoring the city if any Magnetites or Magnetons causing trouble in the city."
"Hehe, so everyone is at hard in work." Alisa giggled. "Man, it's been two years and our technology back then was nowhere this advance. But thanks to trade technology from many nations, we were able to make great process. You think we might be able to match up Ouroboros Thirteen factories?"
"It's possible. However, it's very possible that they expanded or refined their factories due to situations all over the world." Sharon answered.
"I guess I shouldn't be surprised." Alisa sighed as she pinched her nose. "So is there anything on schedule?"
"Well you have a meeting with the chairman, afterward, you will review the newest Master Quartz that are developing, as well as create a new prototype of the new generation of Master Quartz, built with an AI systems and some new features with it."
"Oh yeah, I remember that. The idea was brought up by several people. But the first who thought of it was Ludwig. Though he never mentioned the specifics of the features, he's without question a genius." Alisa mused as she sighed. "Man it's so overwhelming lately with ideas that my head was about to explode."
"Well, we are living in an era where technology has advanced thanks to trademarks with nations with the Mushroom Kingdom and Atlas. The Chairman was also planning to remodel the Reinford headquarters."
"Yeah. That's understandable. Especially with the terminals can now display hologram touch screen thanks to Atlas technology." Alisa nodded. "Even holograms like Tio did back in Crossbell. Now that I think about it. I heard the Epstein Foundation is working closely with Gadd Science Incorporation with the Aeon System right?"
"That's right. After all, E. Gadd Science Incorporation has more knowledge related to AI. Kirito's "daughter" is an AI herself. Of course, there's also that little Guardian of Princess Zelda, Terrako." Sharon answered
Alisa giggled. "Oh that little guy was adorable! I really want to dismantle it and see how it's designed, but it's compared to the other guardians in Breath of the Wild Zelda's world. But you know..." She then wondered in her thoughts.
"My lady?" Sharon tilts her head.
"Ah, it's nothing." 'I should keep that a secret for myself. After all. I want to surprise her with two projections I always wanted to create. Thanks to people I've met back in the past.' Alisa thought as she smiled. 'Oh that right! I wonder if I can create my own personal terminal as Kirito did as an accessory. I need to talk to him about that.' "Hey Sharon, do you think you can contact Kirto for me? There's something I like to discuss with him."
"Certainly, Milady." Sharon nodded as she headed off.
"Clefable?" Alisa's Clefable tilt her head.
"Hehe, it's nothing serious. Just something I had in mind." Alisa smiled and petted her Clefable.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile at Leeves...
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Endless Possibilities)
"Machop, use Low Sweep!" Wayne yelled as his Machop dash toward Jessica's Karrablast.
"Dodge and use Headbutt!" Jessica yelled as her Karrablast dodged Machop's attack and then head butt him
As those two are battling their Pokemon, Sandy was picking out vegetables from the Academy Garden as her Pokemon, Bonsweet, Gossifleur, Fidough and Applin are wandering around the garden as Applin wanted to take a bite of an Oran Barry but Gossifleur stopped him and scolded him as Applin groaned.
Stark was feeding his Pokemons, Psyduck, Vulpix, Growlithe, Ponyta, and Ralts some pokemon food at they eat. Along with Pablo's Gible and Aipon. Kairi was practicing his usual warm-up with his orbal staff as Misdreavus and Nienfoo his watch him. Valerie was playing with her guitar with Gustaf as Valerie's Whismur and Toxel are enjoying the music as Gustaf's Rhydon was picking up some boxes.
Louise was studying with her Snubbull sleeping on her lap. Titiana was reading a book with her Minccino is cleaning the dust with her tail as Shuppet absorbed the negative energy while Natu observing things. Freedy was in the kitchen as he makes something as his Spinarak and Krabby look at each other until Freddy finishes a meal and asks his pokemon to test it. Sidney was in the practicing his Orbal Rifle and hit some marks as his Ponyta and Starly was watching him.
"Finally, I can relax... my feet are killing me..." Juna grumbled as she relax on the sofa as her Quaxly was drinking juose. "I swear Professor Schmidt is increasing the difficulty level for his amusement!"
"I... suppose so. But we did made it through at least." Kurt said. "I suppose our training has shown great results." Kurt said as he was sitting next to her with Piplup on his lap.
"I guess... my muscles are sorer than usual. After this, I need to help train my Pokemon into more battle."
"Hmm... I was thinking the same thing. Would you like to have a Pokemon battle with me Juna?"
"Yeah that would sound fun."
The door to the rest room opened. "Ahh~ That's more like it." Altina said as she stepped out of the bathroom with Squartle.
"Squirtle Squirt..." Altina's Squartle also replied of how much he is relaxed.
"Hey Allie, did you enjoy the bath?" Juna asked
"Indeed I have. It was rather a long day."
"I'll say. Oh hey, where's Musse, Ash and Venti?"
"Venti is in the riding arena cleaning things up and looking after the horses. Ash and Musse on the other hand... I don't know where they are just yet."
"Hello everyone." Musse said as she came into the form along with Ash, Venti and Musse with their Pokemon.
"Oh speak of the devils." Kurt said
"Oh yeah? You talkin' behind our backs?" Ash fold his arms.
"It's not like that Ash." Juna rolled her eyes. "We were wondering where you guys are after that training exercise."
"Well I was just finishing my club activities." Musse answered.
"I on the other hand, still have to fo my punishment." Ash grumbled.
"You had it coming Ash." Kurt sighed.
"Hehe. Don't try to deny that you enough it. Besides, it wasn't that difficult." Venti said.
"You call cleaning horse shit wasn't difficult? Seriously, what the hell did they eat?" Ash asked.
"Oh the usual. Eating fresh grass from the field. The horses were happy. And some of them take a liking to you Ash. Besides, I did tell you to bring a mask."
"Yeah, yeah. I'm taking a bath to clean off this smell." He said as he begin to head to the baths.
"Hey guys!" A voice called out to them as Tita approached them alongside Klink, Volturb and Magnemite.
"Oh hey Tita!" Juna said. "How's your development going?"
"Oh it's going great! I been meaning to give it some new tests after some new installments."
"New installments?" Musse asked.
"Yep! It's a little inspiration from my pokemon and my adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom! Even some advice from Kirito." Tita giggled.
"Magnemite." Tita's Magnemite said.
"Sounds like you had been doing some new studying lately." Musse grinned.
"You betcha! The books related to the mechanism books I've purchased in the Mushroom Kingdom and that tour in Gadd Science Incorporation blew my mind away. Literally! But Alisa told me that E. Gadd is very imaginative and he can come up with new wacky inventions that can help in unexpected situations."
"Well Professor E. Gadd is a very renowned and respectful Engineer. His inventions are outside the box from normal engineers." Musse nodded.
"Yep. Which is why he gets along well with my grandfather and Alisa's grandfather. But I wonder if he met any other engineers so far." Tita wondered.
"Probably." Venti shrug. "Oh here's an idea! Why don't we go to the Mushroom Kingdom for a little trip?"
"Oooh! That sounds like fun!" Musse clapped her hands.
"Eh. Got nothing better to do. But let me take show first. I stick like like Bard when he's covered in crap." Ash said and head back to the shower.
After Ash is taking a shower...
"Ah it's good to be in back in Toad Town." Juna said as they walk around town. "So where you guys want to go?"
"How about the Coconut Mall? It's where most of our classes go sometimes." Musse suggest.
"Sounds like a plan." Juna nodded as they then see Tio, Luigi and Kirto having a chat. "Oh Tio!" Juna yelled out catching the three attention as she run toward them.
"Oh Juna! Surprised to see you here." Tio said with a smile.
"Hey new Class VII! How you been?" Luigi asked.
"We're doing great! And it's so good to see you again Tio! What brings you here to the Mushroom Kingdom? Wait, are you allow in the Mushroom Kingdom?" Juna asked
"Would you believe me that I found a way to come here without restriction?" Tio asked with a grinned on her face.
"Um, what do you mean by that?" Altina asked.
"Let's just say I have friends who help me in dire situations." Tio giggled. "Joking aside. I actually have a business meeting with Professor E. Gadd regarding the Aeon System and was on my way to meet him."
"Really? I thought only you can use the Aeon System, Tio." Juna said.
"Well I can, but the Professor was very kind to me when we first met. He's like a Grandfather figure to me. Plus his inventions are quite unique, but pretty valuable data. Plus he taught me some of his knowledge. But the best part is that knowledge was something was really incredible! An AI!"
"An AI?" Juna asked. "Wait, you mean like Yui?"
"Well yes and no. She's referring to Mario's F.L.U.U.D." Kirito explained.
"Yeah! Back then I never thought creating an AI was possible but he surprised me! Helping to create the ARCUS Alpha, as well as other inventions... I thought to myself... "If I can create an AI of Mishy as my personal assistant. I WILL ACCOMPLISH NO MISHY FAN CAN ACCOMPLISH!" She yelled as her eyes sparked, causing the group to sweatdrop.
"Okay, settle down there. You're getting a little loud."
"Oops. Hehe...Sorry." Tio scratch her hair. "Of course, I need to find materialized and the knowhow to do it. So I ask him to teach me. He taught me what I needed to know. And in return, I told him about the Aeon System. You wouldn't believe the surprise that he did. He was not only able to amplify the Aeon System, but also amplify my Orbal Staff. I was actually on my way to pick it up."
"Wow, that's incredible Tio!" Tita exclaimed. "It amaze me how the Professor was able to increase it."
"Well he told me he has done numerous tests before he shared all the data he collected."
"Yeah. But he isn't the only one who can use the Aeon System. I can too." Kirito said
"Really? But I don't see you using an Orbal Staff." Kurt said.
"Oh no. I mean another way." Kirito chuckled.
"Oh! Is that you Tio? Kirito? Luigi? New Class VII?" A voice asked as they turn and see Alisa and Sharon.
"Oh hey it's Alisa and Sharon!" Venti said. "What brings you two here."
"I could ask the same of you." Alisa giggled. "I was just on my way to visit Professor E. Gadd because there was something I wanted to ask him."
"What a coincidence. I was going to as well." Tio said.
"Really? What for?"
"It's about the Aeon System. But there's something else that I wanted to ask him. But it also regards to Kirito on how he can use the Aeon System too."
"Really? I didn't know you can use it too." Alisa turn to Kirito.
"Yeah, but I'm not using an Orbal Staff. Just another method. I had a little help from Yui to create it. So shall we get going then?"
"Sure. Oh, that reminds me, thanks for keeping me company Luigi." Tio said.
"No problem." Luigi nodded.
"Oh. So you and Luigi know each other Tio?" Juna asked
"Yep. We meet awhile back. It was her first time visiting the Mushroom Kingdom and Gadd Incorporation."
"Oh? I thought it was your first time entering the Mushroom Kingdom, Miss Tio." Sharon said.
"Well, let's just say a lot of things happened and I was called here. Although this is my second time, this is the first time I have visited the Professor's cooperation. And I met Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach and many others. But that's a story for another day. Anyway, shall we head off?"
"Oh, I have an idea. Why don't we all visit the Professor's Cooperation?" Musse suggest.
"Why would we want to go there?" Ash asked.
"Just for the fun of it. Would that be all right?"
"I don't see the problem. Okay, let's-"
RING!
(BGM ended)
"Oh, that's for me." Luigi pull out his ARCUS Alpha. "Oh! It's from E. Gadd!" He answered. "Hey Pro-"
"LUIIIIIIGIIIII!" E. Gadd yelled
"Yipe!"
"Luigi! Quickly I need your help, sonny! It's an emergency!"
"Emergency?" Kirito asked.
"Oh? Is that Kirito? Oh wonderful! You can help too! Is there anyone else with you?"
"Yep. There's me, Alisa, Sharon and new Class VII." Tio answered.
"Oh Tio! Alisa, Sharon and New Class VII too? Oh how wonderful! Luigi, you truly are a lucky magnet! Can you all help me? I'm in a dire situation!"
"What's the matter, professor?" Alisa asked.
"Ghosts!" E. Gadd answered.
"Ghosts?" Everyone asked
"Wait, it's this about that valley you discovered with ghost activities?" Kirito asked
"The very same. The ghosts have suddenly turn hostile! I need you all to go to a TV immediately! I'll explain more about the situation from there. Oh and turn it on by the way when you get there."
"Huh? Why a TV?" Venti asked
"Oh you'll find it! Now hurry!" He said as everyone look at each other.
"Okay, I'm not sure why but my house is close here. We can use the TV there." Luigi said.
"Might as well. Let's go." Alisa said as they begin to head to the Mario's Bros home and then see the TV and Luigi turn it on.
"Okay, we're here. Now what?" Luigi asked as he hang up. "Huh?" Then the TV went to static. "Huh?"
"Did something happen with your TV?" Venti asked.
"Nope!" E. Gadd said.
"Whoa!" Juna exclaimed. "What the heck?!"
"Did he just talk on the TV?" Kurt asked.
"I didn't know you could talk on the TV too." Venti mused.
"I think he must have used a different type of Radio Wave for communications." Alisa said.
"Yes. Okay, now that you're all there. I'll prepare the Pixelator!" said.
"A Pixel what?" Tio asked.
"Hold still everyone!" E. Gadd said as he typed in the computer and the screen glowed green as the TV slowly pulled everyone in.
"What in the-?!" Kirito exclaimed
"Here we gooo!" E. Gadd exclaimed and Everyone was soon pixelated and sucked into the TV and enter into a green teleportation.
In the Bunker...
(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - E. Gadd theme)
Luigi, Alisa, Sharon, Kirito, Tio, Juna, Kurt, Altina, Venti, Musse, and Ash arrived at E. Gadd's Bunker but they fell into the pile.
"AAAH!" Luigi grunted.
"Ugh... Okay, Up! Up!" Juna yelled within the pile until all of them got up.
"Oooh..." Luigi groaned as he got back on his feet.
"Oh good! I'm so glad you're all here! But I certainly wasn't expecting Alisa, Sharon, Tio even the new Class VII to come here! Ohohoh! Jolly good!" E. Gadd said as he clapped.
"Okay... is everyone okay?" Venti look all over his body. "Okay, I'm good."
"I think so as well. What just happened?" Kurt asked. "We were in the Mario Bros House... and the next thing we're here... Did we somehow teleported through the TV?"
"Indeed you have!" E. Gadd answered. "I teleport you all through one of my latest inventions called the Pixelator!"
"The Pixelator?" Sharon asked.
"Indeed. The Pixelator is one of my inventions to teleport people from one place to another. Whoever it is used on is temporarily transformed into multiple pixels and pulled through a Pixelator Screen." He pointed at the camera. "The pixels are then sent out of a Pixelator camera in another location, where the person who traveled through it is reassembled."
"You seriously created another unique transportation Professor?!" Alisa eye widen.
"Wow. Once again, your crazy inventions blow my wind away. But to think I can witness it myself... it's completely different from all manner of transportation from what I've seen." Tio said.
"Seriously Professor. It definitely does not count as magic too." Kirito said.
"Of course not. It is through science! Oh. Speaking of magic. Alisa, do you think you can call Emma again. I fear we may need magic for this too." E. Gadd said.
"Um... sure I can give her a call. But mind telling us what's going on?" Alisa asked.
"Oh right! All right everyone. Welcome to my laboratory. Where we are is the Bunker. It's a bit small but what can you do?" E. Gadd shrug. "Anyway, I'm here to monitor everything that happened within the mansion. Which is why I call you out here."
"Um... pardon me for interrupting but... I believe this may be the first time we met for some of us." Kurt said.
"Really? Huh." E. Gadd rub his chin. "Strange. I feel like we met. Was I imagining again? Ohohoh! Silly me. For those I haven't met. My name is Professor E. Gadd. CEO and founder of Gadd Science Incorporations."
"Ah so we finally meet one of the creators who invented the ARCUS Alpha. You definitely look the part of the professor. I didn't expect you to be jolly however." Juna said until she realized what she said. "Whoa! Wait! Sorry. That came out wrong!"
"Ahahaha! Oh not to worry lassy! I'm sure you must have some experience with Professor Schmidt. But I believe I know some of you from your Instructor, Rean and Levi. As well as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Alisa, Tita, Tio, Kirito, well from many people."
"Seriously? We're that famous? Not to complain considering I'm just a badass." Ash grinned.
"Yeah, the "badass" who knows how to get in trouble." Juna rolled her eyes.
"Hehehe. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance Professor E. Gadd." Musse curtised to him. "My name is Musse Egret. I'm a student of Class VII."
"Ah so you're the "naughty devil" Alisa's grandfather Gwyn talk about. Ohohoh! I can see he isn't off the mark. You certainly have the devil's charm." E. Gadd chuckled.
"Oh you flattered me~."
"Hi Professor. I'm Juna Crawford. I'm also from Class VII." Juna introduces herself.
"It's a pleasure Juna! Tio talk about you. As well as Alisa. There's without question you have great potential in yourself. I know doubt you'll make a fine policewoman." E. Gadd said
"Ehehe... I wouldn't go that far." Juna scratching her cheeks as she blushed.
"A pleasure. I'm Kurt Vander. My brother, Muller Vander speaks highly of you." Kurt said
"Oh the pleasure is mine, Kurt. I haven't spoken with Muller much, but I do know he's quite proud of you and how much you proceed." E. Gadd said.
"I'm honor to hear that."
"Hello Professor. I am Altina Orion. A member of Class VII." Altina said
"Oh I know about you Altina. Millium and Rean talk about you. Mostly Millium about an adorable sister you are to her." E. Gadd chuckled.
"I better hope Millium talk too much about me." Altina look with a deadpanned look.
"Hiya Professor! Nice to meet a famous engineer like yourself. I'm Venti Zachary, I'm also a member of Class VII." Venti gave a playful wink and playful tongue look.
"Ohohoh! The pleasure is mine Venti. Rean told me you're a talented archer and a loving bard. I can tell you get along well with Elliot." E. Gadd chuckled.
"Hehe. Aww shucks."
"Guess I'm last." Ash scratch his neck. "Ash Carbide. What up?"
"Hello there Ash. You certainly look like a punk. I bet you might be the leader of a group of delinquencies with how tough you are."
"Heh. Damn right I am."
"Though you're the only delinquent here Ash." Venti teased.
"Ohohoh! What a lively students Rean has gathered. It's always wonderful. Oh to be young again. Now that the introduction is over. I'll go right ahead and explain the situation. I am continuing my research on the paranormal and whatnot. As Kirito mentioned earlier. It was ghosts I was researching. Now, turn your attention to the screen behind you." He pointed and they saw one of the monitors had a Crescent Moon Shape, however, it looked like it was missing.
"Is that a crescent moon Professor?" Tita asked.
"That's right. That is called the Dark Moon."
"The Dark Moon?" Ash asked. "You mean that last visible crescent of a waning Moon I read about?"
"Quite right. However, this particular Dark Moon is quite different than the ones discovered by science. It's a mysterious celestial body that has a pacifying effect on all the ghosts in Evershade Valley."
"Evershade Valley?" Sharon asked.
"That's right. It's a lot further away from Toad Town. Like... eight hour flight or so."
"Whoa! That's incredibly far!" Juna exclaimed.
"And we've teleported in just a minute or so?" Luigi asked.
"Gosh. I wasn't expecting we should be so far away." Tita said.
"Oh, not to worry! It could be worse. it be a very long 19 hours." E. Gadd said
"That's even worse!" Kirito exclaimed.
"Ohohoh! I jest I jest! Anyway, when I heard about this mysterious moon, I jumped to the chance to resume my studies for ghosts living in this peaceful environment. And boy let me tell you. It truly is a remarkable discovery! I've made tremendous progress in my long-time career!"
"Riiight. So you study ghosts?" Ash sweatdropped "Who the hell would study ghosts of all things?"
"Yeah, E. Gadd likes to study anything that got his mind too." Luigi said.
"Yeah. Two years ago, I helped the Professor with his study for the paranormal by capturing a couple of ghosts with some new friends we made." Alisa said. "Come to think of it. How are those Pretty Boy Detective Club doing?"
"Pretty Boy Detective Club?" New Class VII asked
"Oh those guys are going fine. They've been taking lessons in combat from Kagura, Hinoka, Nine, Tager, Jubei and Takumi." Luigi answered.
"I see Nine is a popular teacher." Altina said. "Didn't she teach Elliot Magic?"
"She did. Nine didn't just teach only Elliot However. But You can imagine all they learn combat and other skills those boys learn. They help me out with many of my studies when they came to this world. Oh but we're getting off topic. Everything was going so well with the ghosts and my research... however, something happened to the ghost and made them all hostile." E. Gadd said
"What? How could a friendly ghost suddenly go hostile all of the sudden?" Alisa asked.
"Hmm..." Venti mumbled to himself. "Could it have something to do with the Dark Moon?"
"Right, you are sonny!" E. Gadd turned to the Dark Moon. "The Dark Moon up from the sky has suddenly vanished! And the top of all that. The entire valley is covered by this eerie fog." E. Gadd said as he was done typing in his computer and revealed on the TV of purple fog.
"Whoa... those are the eerie fog?" Tita asked.
"I never seen purple fog before. Still, I definitely do sense Higher Elements within this Valley." Tio said
"Indeed. The Higher Element are activated in this valley because of the Dark Moon and the residence of ghosts." E. Gadd nodded. "Still, the disappearance of the Dark Moon is the cause of why the ghosts have turned hostile. I don't know how it disappeared, but something feels amiss with that. If we don't do something. Those ghosts might leave the valley and terrorize the whole world!"
"That doesn't sound good!" Alisa grimace.
"Indeed. I can imagine the fear and chaos that will bring. And with that... The Grimm will no doubt attracted to that." Sharon nodded
"And with those Grimm on the loose with the ghosts, it will be catastrophic." Tio added. "Speaking of that... It would like someone has made it disappeared."
"Yes. I was thinking the same thing. Whoever made the Dark Moon disappear most likely wanted to get the world into jeopardy." Musse nodded
"So there's a conspiracy in motion." Kurt said.
"Indeed. I came to the same conclusion when I found this." E. Gadd pull out a piece of the Dark Moon.
"What's that?" Kirito asked
"This is one of the very pieces of the Dark Moon we were just discussing. I found this fragment nearby... and it's been corrupted by some sort of energy."
"And that's what caused the ghosts to go all berserk." Altina grimace.
"Indeed. Whatever this disturbing energy is, it clearly suppresses the ability to pacify ghosts!"
"But the main question is who did it." Sharon wondered
"I guess we'll have to find out if we want to solve this case! And we better hurry too! Otherwise, my research will go down the drain!" E. Gadd exclaimed, causing them to sweatdrop. "Lucky! I have the equipment to do the trick!"
"My Poltergust 3000?" Luigi asked
"Yes. But you're long overdue for a new one!"
"You created a new upgraded model?"
"Sure did Sonny! You'll love it! Oh, but hang a moment." E. Gadd pressed a button on his chair and then pull up a music player turntable where sweepers "cleaning" the Dark Moon piece as it spins around until the Moon Piece resonated in a peaceful state.
"Wooow! It doesn't look corrupted anymore!" Tita exclaimed.
"And look at that too." E. Gadd pointed at the TV monitor that came down as they turn and see the fog has cleared away. "It look like I was able to successfully wipe of that energy. With that, it regained its original power! And that eerie fog nearby the Bunker has vanished!" He said as the Dark Moon Piece sink into the lab's floor. "All right, now which part of the valley did it clear away." He wondered as he type it in and then revealed in the map was the manor. "Ah! Gloomy Manor."
"Seriously, Gloomy Manor? What does it scream doom and gloom?" Ash asked.
"Oh it was actually."
"Seriously!? The hell kinda place is that?"
"Well, it is a place where ghosts live." Tio said. "So I'm sure somewhere spooky is what they call home."
"You know, it wouldn't surprise me if Ghost Pokemon also started living here." Tita said with a nervous laugh.
"Funny you should mention that." E. Gadd said. "But in any case. Restoring the Dark Moon will solve this problem. If we find and collect all the pieces, then not only the fog will vanish, but also the ghosts will return to normal. But for now, all those ghosts need to be contained. That's where Luigi stepped in. However, considering how lady luck favors me today, we have Kirito who is working for me, and unexpected help from Alisa, Sharon, Tita, Tio and New Class VII! Although I can't ask for your help out of the blue." Then he clapped his hands. "But would you all be willing to help me solve this crisis, pretty please?"
"Ahaha... Oh Professor." Alisa said with a nervous laugh. "Still I wouldn't mind. It kinda reminds me of two years ago. I'll be happy to help."
"Well if my lady willingly wants to solve this situation, then allow me to aid you in your service." Sharon curtsied to E. Gadd.
"So... If we say yes... we're going some ghost busting?" Juna asked. "Huh... I don't know why but it sounds fun and another adventure. What do you guys say?"
"Well, I would say yes. Because if those ghosts were to leave this valley, they would cause chaos all over the world as we discussed earlier. So we need to help out." Musse answered
"Indeed. We can think of this as a Special OP mission... even though we're not in school now." Altina said.
"Please, why would I be interested in some ghost-hunting business? It may sound fun but kicking some ghosts ass isn't enough." Ash asked
"Could it be your afraid, Ash?" Tio said with a grin on her face.
"Hell no!"
"Oh that's a shame if you don't want to. I understand. Though I bet you'll find some nice treasure when you're out exploring."
"Treasure?" Kurt asked.
"Oh yeah... last time when me, Alisa, Emma, Celine and those Pretty Boys Club guys with us. We found loads of jewels, money and gold bars." Luigi rub his chin, which caught the attention of Ash and others.
"Oh yeah. And it made a fortune." Alisa nodded.
"F-Foutune? H-How much are we talking exactly?" Tio asked.
Luigi rub his chin. "Well I gave my to the Pretty Boys so they can make a home here... like... 100,000,000 coins. But in Mira turns... 1,000,000,000 or so mira?" He answered as E. Gadd pull a Headphones noise cancellation.
"1,000,000,000 MIRA?!" New Class VII, Tio, and Tita yelled in shock.
"And you gave it to those Pretty boys group?" Tita asked in shock.
"WE'RE IN!" Ash yelled.
E. Gadd put away his headphones. "Ohohoh! I had a feeling you'll agree to the money! It's all yours if you find any treasure!"
"Well, now I'm intrigued. But for the fun of it." Tio said. "I don't mind giving a helping hand."
"Same!" Tita said.
"Oh wonderful! I'm glad I can count on you! Oh but first. You guys need to learn how to wield the Poltergust. So your training begins now. Oh, that includes you Sharon. As for you Luigi. I invented an upgraded version of the Poltergust 3000 and dub the Poltergust 5000! But I only made one, unfortunately. But the good news is I can replicate it with my Duplicator 5000! Which is also in the manor. Luckily, those ghosts don't know how to use it. Ohohohoh!"
"Okay, I guess me, Sharon, Luigi and Kirito will get going then?" Alisa asked.
"Yes but wait a moment." E. Gadd pulled out a DS.
"Is that a DS?" Luigi asked.
"Yes. I dub thee the Duel Scream. It has a customized interactive map on Gloomy Manor and other places in Evershade Valley. You're also going to need this. I also plan to communicate you with this too while you explore." handed over it to Luigi, Kirito, Sharon, and Alisa. "Lucky I have one for each of you. Oh, and don't forget this." E. Gadd handed them the Flashlight. "Okay now let's test the DS out!" He turn to his computer and start typing.

(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - Duel Scream)
"Oh! Looks like it's working." Luigi said as he opened it along with Alisa, Sharon, and Kirito..
(BGM paused)
(Resuming E. Gadd Theme)
"All right, look at your map, everyone! I'm making the locations of importance!" He said as the map location is the Garage. "I think I left the Polstergust 5000 in the Garage."
"You think?" Kirito sweatdrop.
"Oh no worries. You'll be fine! Anyway, ready you three?"
"Yeah we're good." Alisa nodded
"All right, I'll zapped you all the way there via the Pixelator! Good luck!" E. Gadd exclaimed as he pressed the button and the four of them were pulled into the TV monitor pixelator. "All right! Let's begin your training!"
(BGM paused)
With Luigi, Sharon, Alisa and Kirito...
Luigi, Alisa, Sharon and Kirito were re-pixelated in the Front Yard of Gloomy Manor.
"Ugh! It's raining!" Alisa complained. "Professor, you could have mentioned it was raining!"
"Worry not my lady." Sharon pull out an Umbrella. "I've come prepared with the umbrella."
"Ooh boy... A haunted manor all over again." Luigi complained.
"Aren't you used to it at this point?" Kirito asked.
"Ghosts yes. Haunted Mansion. it varies."
"Fair enough." He said as they look at the mansion. "Yep. Definitely looks haunted enough. I'm surprised it looks... new."
"Well, we might as well go inside." Alisa said as they walked toward the Gate as it opened for them, and once they went in... it closed on its own. "Whoa!"
"Well isn't that spooky?" Kirito sweatdrop
(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - Duel Scream)
"Wah!" Luigi yelped as he look in his pockets. "Oh, it's just E. Gadd. That came out of nowhere too." He said as he pick it up and answered.
(BGM ended)
(Resuming E. Gadd Theme)
"Hello Everyone! I see that you're all perfectly fine! I was worried that the DS might be on low battery and it has died. But I turn down the screen's battery down so it should be good for awhile." E. Gadd said.
"Yeah we're good." Luigi sighed. "Wait, you call because you forgot to charge this?"
"Probably! But mostly that you're all reassembled."
"Well we're okay Professor. We're about to go in. We'll keep you updated." Alisa said.
"Jolly good! Until then everyone!" E. Gadd said as he hang up.
(BGM paused)
"Okay, let's go in."
"Hey, guys, you wanna see this." Kirito said as he look into the window as they looked at it with him and they saw two Greenies in the garage as one is pretending to be driving, while the other went inside the car, making the other confused about what was rumbling and then pop out from the engine, causing both of them to laugh and they flew into the other room.
"Even though they are hostile, they still remain the same." Alisa said. "But are those green ghosts called? They're not like the ghosts we have done in the past."
"Yeah. Maybe we can find out after we capture a few." Luigi nodded as they made their way to the door and then tried to open it, but it's lock. "Huh? It's locked."
"Great so we're locked out of the manor." Kirito sighed. "What are we-" Kirito then heard mouse squeaking as they turn and see a mouse holding the key with its tail.
"EEK!" Alisa yelped as Sharon used her wires to slash the mouse, causing it to drop the key and making it run back into the manor.
"Got it!" Sharon picked up the Key and then used it on the door and then it unlocked the door, and the key turn into particles. "Oh my."
"It disappeared... just like two years ago." Alisa mused as they went inside the manor and arrived at the Entrance.
(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - Gloomy Manor)
"Okay... this isn't so bad..." Luigi said as he turn on the Flashlight. "We have... two armored knights standing between the door...the room is already lit up."
"Except it looks like the Knight on the left is looking at us." Kirito said
"Say what?" Luigi turned to the left knight as he moved to the left and see the head is indeed looking. "Waah!"
"Yep. Another spooky thing." Alisa sighed. "Lucky I'm used to it at this point. If it attacks, we can take it head-on. Come on. Let's keep going." Alisa said as they went into the door to the left and entered the garage.
"Okay, now where is that Poltergust." Luigi wondered as they looked around but had no clue until they examined the car and opened the catch and found it. "Ah, found it!" He picked it up and then equipped it. "Wow, this one really is a newer model. Oh yeah!" Luigi does a little dance until he back into the door which cause the hatch to shut and the shelves fall off and the large piles of dust block the door. "Oops... sorry." he sweatdrops and then the Duel Scream rings and Alisa answers it.
"Hello everyone! I just came to check on the situation. Ah, I see you found it! Excellent work! Now, we should duplicate it with the Duplicator 5000! It's located behind the car." E. Gadd said as they turn to a box-shaped scanner device equipment.
"Oh that was easy." Alisa said as they went to it and then Luigi removed the Poltergust 5000 and put it into the scanner as Kirito began activating it, as it scanned the Poltergust 5000 and then it look appeared on the screen of the same type, and then he clicked on the buttons and press how many to duplicate and then it begin to work for 15 minutes until the whole numbers has been completed and eleven produce Polutergusts.
"Fifteen minutes of waiting and finally." Kirito said as he pick up one Polutergust 5000 and Alisa did the same.
"I'm surprised that it managed to duplicate the entire thing. Do you think it works?" Alisa wondered as she pressed the vacuum button and it began to activate the vacuum. "Oh it does work!"
"It shouldn't be surprising because duplication technology is possible. It wouldn't surprise me how the Professor managed to duplicate the same materials used to create the Poltergust 5000." Kirito said as he put it on and Luigi took out his and put it on.
"True. But it took a factory to make a reproduction. Not sure how the Professor made a copy from scratch with just one machine. His genius work is beyond bound as usual." Alisa agreed and then she use her Poltergust to clear away the dust blocking the door.
"Mind helping me put them away?" Luigi asked as he put three Poltergusts away in the car and Kirito and Alisa helped him out until all of them were stored away.
"Okay, let's go look around here and see what we can find." Kirito said as they looked around the garage as Alisa noticed coins in the ceiling and she use the Protergust to collect them as Luigi remove the sheets and revealed a chest which he opened and found a key.
"A Key!" Luigi said and put it away until E. Gadd called and Luigi answered
"Hello everyone! I just came to call you that Juna and the others finished their training! How is the progress going so far?"
"Well we finish reproducing the Poltergusts and hid them away until the others show up." Luigi answered
"Ah, excellent! In just a moment, they'll all be relocated into entrance right about-"
*THUD*
"-Now." E. Gadd said as Kirito and Alisa sucked in the dust and open the door and see New Class VII, Tio, and Tita fill into a pile until they all got up.
"Okay, we're going to get used to it." Kurt grumbled as he brush himself.
"Is everyone all right" Alisa asked.
"We're good..." Venti sighed as they got up.
"Okay, the rest of the Polutergusts are in the car. Let's go get them." Luigi said as they went back to the garage and each of them equip themselves with the Poltergusts 5000 and return to the Entrance.
"Hmm... I wonder." Venti wondered as he begin vacuuming the chandelier and turn off the lights.
"Bard what the-" Then coins, cash and Gold Bars fell out of the chandelier. "- Hell... SAY WHAT?!" Ash yelled
"Whoa! Is that really a gold bar?!" Juna exclaimed as Venti suck up all the money and the lights automatically turn back on.
"Haha! Score!" Venti laughed as he went to the Mudroom.
"That lucky son of a-!" Ash grumbled. "We better find more cash than he does!" He said as they went to the Mudroom.
"Huh, this place looks normal." Tio mused.
"Maybe a little money is found somewhere around here." Altina said.
"Hmm, what's this?" Musse looks at the window as they all take a look where they see a white ghost dog digging along with a dog pokemon with a candle to his forehead along with a Gastly, Haunter, and Pumpkaboo. "Aww, look at that adorable little ghost dog. I see it's playing with a Gastly, Haunter and a Pumpkaboo. But what's that pokemon with the candle on his forehead?" She wondered as she pull out her ARCUS Alpha and scan it.
"Graveard. The Ghost Dog Pokemon. A Ghost-Type. It is said that a dog Pokémon that died in the wild without ever interacting with a human was reborn as this Pokémon. This friendly Pokémon doesn't like being alone. Pay it even the slightest bit of attention, and it will follow you forever." Musse's ARCUS Alpha answered
"Aww that poor dog. But the last part does make sense." Musse said. "Ooh! Now this is an interesting ability! Pick Up. An ability to pick up items after a pokemon battle or even outside. It only evolves in the night. Understandable."
"Oh, take a look!" Juna said as the White ghost dog dig up a round shape an Amethyst gem.
"It look like a jewel!" Tita exclaimed and then Sableye appeared out of nowhere and attack the Ghost dog. "On no! That's a Sableye! Those pokemon love to eat and steal jewels!" She said as the Sableye took the gem of the dog's mouth.
"Yes. I heard several places were robbed of it's jewels because of Sabereye, which is why they had a defense system against that Pokemon." Musse nodded as Gastly, Haunter, Graveard and Pumpkaboo then attacked Sableye and got into a dustcloud fight until Sableye was defeated then he ran into the manor as the Ghost Pokemon check up on the white dog who bark happily and kick them and then ran off and they follow.
"They forgot about the gem, didn't they?" Tio asked.
"Who cares! We got ourselves a jackpot!" Ash smirked.
"Hey guys. Look what I found." Venti called out as they see him roll up the rug and found stepping platform under it. "I think this is a switch to that lock door. He said as he step on it, and then reveal a hidden compartment and burst out money. "Score!"
"Are you kidding me! Seriously do you have Lady Luck or somethin' Bard?" He wondered and Venti take in the money.
"Hehe. I don't know but I'm sure am smiling about it!" Venti let a playful wink.
"Come on Venti! Save some for us!" Juna complained
"Okay, then take a look around." He pointed and see coins caught in spider webs and some on the wall.
"Oh... I call dibs!" Juna said a she suck in the coin from the web as Kurt suck in the coins from the other wall.
"Well at least we got some money at least." Kurt said.
Sharon look up. "Oh. Look up there everyone." She pointed and see a Key in the ceiling.
"How in the world did a Key get up there in the ceiling?" Tio wondered as Alisa use the Pultergust to suck in the sky as it spin and then dropped it and pick it up.
"Got it!" Alisa said until spiders came down. "EEK!" She yelped until Sharon diposes of them by killing them and they turn into Coins. "Phew."
"I wonder how long this manor was abandoned. But given how it looks, I find it strange that it look like it was still occupied before the Professor took it in." Sharon said
"Maybe ghosts wanted a place to call home." Venti shrug.
"Huh. Maybe." Kirito shrug. "Anyway, I don't think we can use the key on the door, but let's go back to the entrance." He said as they walk back to the entrance and used the Key on the door and it unlocked as it disappeared and opened it.
"Oh, look!" Luigi pointed and saw two Greenies tossing some items.
"Two of those ghosts but what are they holding?" Alisa asked until those two spotted them.
"Ack!" One of them yelped. "Quick you take it!"
"Ow!" The other said as he got hit in the head. "No you take it!"
"No you!"
"You!" The other Greenie place it on his hand.
"Aww." He groaned before the two Greenies look at the others before fleeing through the doors.
"And they ran off." Altina sweatdrop. "For ghosts, they sure are a little cowardly."
"Well they are different to Boos." Musse said as they walked toward.
"Wait Egret!" Ash pulled Musse close to him as one of the Knights moved and swung down.
"Ah!" Musse yelped as Ash pull her in time. "Phew... thank you Ash..."
"What the hell was that?! A Trap?" Juna asked and then she brought out her Gunbreakers.
"I think it's best that we dismantle them." Kirito said as they nodded and ran up to the Knights and break them to remove them from attacking them. "There, that should do it."
"Okay, we'll be same now. Let's go." Tio said as they walk to the hall to reach the door and then open it with the other Key and arrived at the Foyer.
"Where are we now?" Tita wondered as she felt nervous. "This place is rather dark."
"Hang on, I'll light it up." Alisa open her hand but then two Greenies descended and play with each other, not noticing them.
"Haha! You think this is a good hiding place?" One of the Greenies pointed at the chandelier where they place that item on one of the candlestick holder.
"Oh it certainly is! Heheheh!" The other one laughed along with his friend until they saw the group. "Ah! They're here!"
"How did they get here so quickly!?"
"Quick! Run for it!" One of them yelled and flew to the door.
"Aww man. How can we get it?" Luigi asked.
"Allow me." Altina said as Claiomh Solais appeared and flew up with Altina and grabbed it. "Got it."
"Well that was easy." Tita said.

(Luigi's Manion Dark Moon ost - Duel Scream)
"Oh, that must be the professor." Sharon said as Luigi answer it.
(BGM paused)
(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - E. Gadd Theme)
"What's up E. Gadd?" Luigi asked
"Did you all see that green circular panel on the door just now?" E. Gadd asked
"We have earlier. Is that a security system?" Kurt asked.
"Indeed. Unfortunately, it seems like you all need a special tool of mine to access it."
"You mean this?" Altina asked, holding it.
"Crimmy! That was fast! That's called the Stroblub. A flashlight tool I developed. It's capable of stunning ghosts. Unlike the last time you did before Alisa, Luigi where you just shine a flashlight to them. If you hold it with a button, you can charge it and unleash a brighter flash. It can even open doors like the door next to you."
"Oh so we can use this door to reach outside earlier." Kurt said.
"Professor, do you have more of these?" Tita asked.
"I have actually. I produce them here but I'll have to give them to you when you get back." E. Gadd answered
"No problem!" Luigi said as he installed the Stroblub in the back and it glow green and then put it back on his back and charged it and released a strong flash. "Ah!"
"Whoa, you okay Luigi?" Kirito asked as he caught Luigi.
"Yeah... never expected it would be that strong."
"Try not to flash yourself there Luigi! It isn't a toy but a powerful tool!" E. Gadd scolded "As you know, it can activate any of my inventions that features that green circular panel. Try it on any nearby door!" E. Gadd said.
"Got it." Alisa nodded as Luigi hang up.
(BGM paused)
(Resuming Gloomy Manor)
"Okay, let's go back and get that gemstone." Ash said as they nodded as they made their way back to the Entrance.
"That reminds me, you don't think there's anything on the Frontyard, right?" Kurt asked
"Hmm... it never hurt to take a look." Tita said as she and the other decided to take a quick tour to the front lawn where they took a left and see a pile of dust blocking a vase as Ash suck up the dust and then the vase and coins, cash and gold bars appeared.
"Jackpot!" Ash grinned as he took in the money, then a flash happened as they turn and see Luigi flash on the flowers which open, spit out money and another Amethyst's gem shape like a triangle.
"Hey look what I got!" Luigi said.
"Another jackpot it seems." Musse giggled as Luigi put it away.
(BGM paused)
(Resuming Duel Scream)
Then the Duel Screamer ring.
"Already?" Luigi raised an eyebrow as he answer it.
(BGM paused)
(Resuming E. Gadds theme)
"I see you guys are doing some gemstones hunting. Can't blame you. Those gemstones are one of a kind! You'll make a great fortune!" E. Gadd said
"Really? They do cost that much? Wow." Tita said in awe.
"That's the whole reason I'm into it." Ash said.
"Yeah, I can imagine what you'll do with that kinda of money." Juna folded her arms and gave Ash the 'I'm watching you' look.
"Ohohoh! Don't forget you have a job to do!" E. Gadd said as he hang up.
(BGM paused)
(Resuming Gloomy Manor)
"Okay, let's go get that other gem before that Pokemon thief gets it." Ash said as they walked their way back to the Mudroom, but Altina spotted Cash hanging on the light pool and she use the Vacuum to take in the cash and rejoin the others. Then Luigi use the Flash onto the door panel and opens it, then arrives outside and Ash takes the gem. "Jackpot again!"
"Yes, yes. Good for you Ash." Kurt said as they walk their way back to the foyer where they walked upstairs and Luigi used the flash to open the safe and pop our coins, cash and gold bars which Kurt took it.
They walk back to the panel where Luigi use the flash on it and then enter the Coatroom.
"Is this the bathroom?" Alisa asked.
"It looks oddly strange for a bathroom." Tita said.
"Perhaps, but be careful I sense abnormal presence within this room. Must be those ghosts." Sharon told them.
"Right. Stay alert everyone." Tio nodded.
"Hmm..." Is it me or does the wall here look different?" Luigi asked as they look at the wallpaper.
"Oh you're right. It does look like a different color! The rest are green but this one is blue." Tita said.
"Hmm... I don't think this is a bathroom. Judging from this room, it looks as it some sort of coatroom." Musse said.
"Then what is a bathroom doing here?" Juna asked.
"Maybe it's a hidden entrance?" Kirito asked as Luigi look at the toilet
"Don't see any ghost here." Luigi said as he close the lid and sit on the lid. "Might be a-" Suddenly the wall flip, taking Luigi with it. -"Wah!"
"Luigi!" The group yelled as Luigi flew into the sink.
"Blubububu-Blah!" Luigi pop his head out of the sink and shook himself.
"Luigi, you okay?!" Kirito asked on the side side of the wall.
"Yeah I'm all right." Luigi answered and turn to the humming close by and see the shower running. "Hang on." He told the others as he first use the Vacuum to suck in the hug which reveal hidden money and the tower which hid a compartment with cash and gold bars, take them and then move the shower curteins and see the Greenie taking a shower.
"Huh?" He turn. "AAAAK! PEEPING TOM!" He yelled and look for something to grabbed, but then Luigi flashed him, stung him and then suck him into the Poltusgust and another Greenie appeared to punch him but Luigi dodge and then stun him and suck him as well.
"Okay! I got two of the ghosts!" Luigi yelled.
"Masterfully done Master Luigi." Sharon said
"Okay, step back. I'm going to use the hidden department again." Luigi said as he sat on the toilet stool, pulled the rope, and the wall flipped, reuniting him with the others. "Hey guys!"
"Welcome back Luigi." Tio said as they leave the room... only to encounter three Greenies in the Foyer where two Greenies playing in the fountain while the other one was opening a drawer and digging and tossing papers... Until Luigi stun them and Juna, Kurt and Altina suck in the ghosts with their Polstergust.
"All right. I think that should do it." Tio said as the Duel Scream ring and Tio opened hers.
"Well done everyone! Ah it warms my heart to see the good ol' days and witness potential ghost hunters." E. Gadd chuckled. "I think that's enough. I'll pull you guys back now."
"How are you going to do that?" Kirito asked.
"With the Pixelator! Hang on tight!" He said as the camera in the room pixellated them back to the Bunker.
(BGM ended)
Meanwhile... back at the Bros House...
"Luiiigiii!" Mario's voice yelled as he enter his house. "Luuiiigiiii!" He look around and sees no sign of him. "Huh. That's odd. I thought he'd be at home making Spaghetti."
"Oh I can assure you he isn't." A voice said.
"Wha-?!" Mario turn around until Boos appeared and capture him. "What?! Hey let me go! Who are you guys?!"
Then a large ghost figure appeared before him. "Remember me?"
"You!" Mario eye widen as a Boo holding a frame and the Ghost figure shoot energy toward Mario. "WAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled as he enter the picture frame and now he's trapped in the painting.
"WAHAHAHAHAHA!" The figure is revealed to be King Boo as the Boo brings him the frame. "Ahh look how lovely he is in that picture frame! Just you wait Luigi, and Class VII. Because I'm coming for you next." He smirked. "Come. Time for our next target." He said as he and his Boos flew out of The Bros house as one of them carrying Mario's frame.
Luigi Mansions Dark Moon is HEEEEEER! I wasn't expecting it would be long but I guess it's a good start.
