Luigi, Alisa, Sharon, Tio, Tita, Juna, Kurt, Altina, Venti, Musse, Ash, Kirito, Emma and Celine all fell onto the ground.
"Ngh..." Alisa got up. "What happened?"
"That laugh... was that King Boo?" Tita asked as they look around and all was a void.
"Is everyone all right?" Kirito asked.
"Yes... it looks like we're all right..." Emma said as they look around.
"I don't know what happened but... I can feel something too ominous... that not even I can describe it." Celine said.
"I've been through ominous places before... but this..." Tio look around. "Wha...?"
"Tio, what's wrong?" Tita asked
"My... My senses... they're... they off the chart? No..." Tio look shock. "I... I can't feel anything?"
"Wh-What do you-" Suddenly, an evil crackle was heard as they looked around but all they see was darkness...until a curtain unraveled. "Wha-What the...?"
Then more curtains begin to open up as more of the same crackle was heard and the moving shadows of King Boo was moving from window to window as hie laugh was coming closer... but also in a distance. Soon all curtains close as King Boos's laughter soon fade. They all readied their weapons, feeling the chill down their spines... except for Sharon and Kirito because they had seen and faced worst before. Soon... something descended them from behind them as they all turn and see the painting of Old Class VII, Mario and Daisy.
"Mario! Daisy!"
"Rean! Everyone!" Alisa and Luigi yelled as they approached the painting until Sharon noticed something amiss.
"My Lady, Master Luigi, wait!" Sharon yelled... and then King Boo approached made the painting disappeared.
"BOO!" He yelled, causing both of them to fell on their butts as he laughed.
(Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon ost - King Boo's Illusion)
"Ahahahahaha! Look what we have here. If it isn't Luigi... or maybe Baby Luigi? I can't even tell the difference! And look who else is with him. Alisa Reinford, Sharon Kreuger. Emma Milstein and her little black cat, Celine. And looks like some new fresh meat to join in the fun. E. Gadd little errand boy, Kirito... or perhaps I should say Kazuto Kirigaya. Then we have New Class VII where Rean Schwarzer teaches. How cute. Juna Crawford, Kurt Vander, Altina Orion, who's that little annoying white gumball sister. Though I don't see how truly related they are. Then Venti Zachary, Musse Egret, and Ash Carbide. Oh yes. I couldn't also forget Tio Plato of that pitiful state Crossbell. And lastly, we have Tita Russell. So many famous pipquakes in one places. I should feel honored. It's a pity those Pretty Boys Detective Club isn't here. But I'll deal with them soon enough."
"He even knows about us?" Tita asked, looking concerned.
"Guess he has been doing homework after we join along." Tio muttered.
"Nngh." Alisa glared at King Boo. "King Boo, where is Mario, Rean, and all my classmates!?"
"And Daisy!" Luigi yelled.
"You already found them as paintings. That much is the answer you seek. Has it already been a year since we last met and when the five of you trapped me in the painting? It feels like a distant memory now." King Boo grinned.
"King Boo. How did you manage to escape your imprisonment?" Emma asked.
"Why my men broke me out of course. I always knew I could count on them, should I be captured. That old fool E. Gadd never noticed that I escaped two days after my capture. I can't believe it only took him a year to notice that I escaped. Then again, that goat is senile. Hahaha! I'm so going to enjoy tormenting that old man for his cursed inventions." King Boo then glared. "But I'll deal with him... after I kill each and every one of you... and once I'm done with you. I'll deal with Crow Armbrust as well as your friends and family too."
"You wouldn't dare!" Celine hissed.
"Wait... now that you mention it... I don't see Crow among your capture painting." Luigi said.
King Boo grumbled. "Bah... Crow Armbrust was more difficult to capture ever since he is one of that overgrown lizard's vassals. But him I can deal with after... once I gather enough army to deal with Bowser's... and the entire world! Of course, that includes the little witch clan in Erebonia."
Emma gasped. "You mean to tell me that intruder that my grandmother saw four months ago... That was you?!"
"Yes, it was! Quite clever for your "Grandmother" to create that special barrier around the clan. But she was a fool if that weak barrier could keep me away. Hahahaha! I even got sight of something interesting. She's just as senile to fail to notice me! But who would have guessed that old witch could have such a delicious soul... I'm sure she'll make a fine full-course meal."
"You...!" Emma clench her teeth. "If you dare harm my home...!"
"You'll what? Kill me? Ahahaha! Foolish girl! Ghost can't die! You're powerless against me! You truly think you're capable of handling me like your sister? Oh, how many times can you make me laugh?"
"Wait, you fought Vita before?" Celine asked.
"While she possesses a strong ability to magic, she couldn't even beat me! It's a pity I could feed on her soul. Maybe I'll have another chance once I feed on each and every one of your souls... just as I plan to do the same to the rest of you!"
"You bastard...!" Kirito glared.
"Not only you dare threaten us... plan to devour the souls of our loved ones... and even destroy our homes?!" Emma glared. "I should have expected from a vile creature like you who destroyed the Dark Moon!"
"Ahh that was the best moment for me to destroy the Dark Moon! And it's all part of my plan to take over this world and drown it in darkness. And it's all thanks to my new beauty here." King Boo pointed at his crown. "Unlike the jewel the last time we met. This one is brand new. It made it easier to me to destroy it and have all the ghosts in Evershade Valley obey my every command! Once I bring fear and chaos to the world... soon nothing will stop me! The Grimm will be attracted to those fears, killing millions for me to devour their souls... and to make things easier.. I'll have an endless army of ghosts that will make me invisible! Every last one of you will be great for the walls of my throne room! And my revenge will be complete!" King Boo laughed
"As if we'll let that happen!" Juna yelled as she and the others readied for battle. "We won't let you get away with any of it!"
"That's right. As students of Thors... as people... we will defeat you!" Kurt said.
"And if you're targeting our loved one... we'll defeat you before that even happens!" Altina said.
"And once we defeat you, we'll seal you into a painting or something far worst." Venti glared.
"That's right. So go bring it you son of a bitch!" Ash glared.
"Ahahahaha! Little fledglings like you can take me on!? I feel like I'm dying of laughter!" King Boo laughed. "None of you are capable of defeating me!"
"And yet, your weakness is the Poltergust." Musse shot back, causing King Boo to glare at her. "You may be powerful King Boo. But each of us has captured and defeated your forces! If we can triumph over them... we can sure can triumph over you!"
"Cute. Very cute." King Boo grinned. "But this time... I won't be alone in this?"
"What exactly do you-" Suddenly another laughter was heard. "Huh?" Celine look around
(BGM ended)
"Now what?" Kirito asked.
"Hello fools." Another ghostly figure descended behind them as they turned, causing Alisa, Sharon and Luigi to look shocked.
"You're...!" Alisa exclaimed as they see Elder Princess Shroob.
(Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadow of Valencia ost - Pride and Arrogance)
"I'M BAAAAAAAACK!" Elder Princess Shroob yelled with a booming voice.
"I-It can't be..." Luigi gulped. "You're the Elder Princess Shroob! You escape too?!"
"That's right." Elder Princess Shroob grinned. "I guess that old fool King Boo told me about didn't notice that I broke out too! All thanks to my new friend, King Boo, who share my hatred for the rest of you."
Alisa gasped. "So that shadow back in the pictures... it was you and King Boo!"
"Ah so you finally notice? Well it doesn't matter at this point." Elder Princess Shroob eyes glow red. "I'll have my revenge on you Old Class VII! And once we're done with you, this entire world will fall before us! No one will stand in our way with our invisible army of ghosts!"
(BGM ended)
(Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valencia ost - The Scions' Dance in Purgatory)
"And not even the strongest warriors of the world can deal with them! And we'll be making sure of that." King Boo grinned as his crown glow with energy and unleashed a burst of energy that covered the area with lighting barriers. "Now... let end us end this and HAVE OUR REVENGE!" He yelled as he and Elder Princess Shroob stood next to each other, readied to fight as the others took their stance.

Luigi approached the jewel and let out a grin. "We did it!"
Alisa sighed in relief. "Yeah... we did." She said as Luigi pulled the jewel into his pocket as suddenly the dimensions around them began to crumble and a flash of white light soon took them back to the Terrace.
"Ah, we're back in the Terrace!" Tita said.
"Look!" Juna pointed as they see the pictures of their friends. "Instructor!"
"Mario! Daisy!" Luigi yelled as he and the others ran toward them and used the Dark Light Device on them, freeing them for good.
"Oof!" Mario grunted as he and the others collapse on the ground.
"Uugh..." Rean groaned.
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Promise of That Day)
"Instructor!" Juna yelled as she and the others approached them.
"Huh? Luigi? New Class VII?" Daisy blinked until Luigi hug Daisy. "Oof! Hey babe!"
"Oh thank goodness, you're all okay!" Luigi said as he let go of Daisy and then hug Mario next.
"Huh? Where are we?" Millium look around. "I don't remember being here."
"Neither do all of us." Jusis said.
"Are all of you all right?" Emma asked.
"We are but... what's going on?" Laura asked.
"You guys were abducted by King Boo. Do you guys remember?" Venti asked
"King Boo? Ah!" Rean gasped as he and the others soon remembered. "I remember now!"
"Me too! King Boo appeared out of nowhere back at the house." Mario said.
"Yeah! I remember I was getting ready for bed and then he appeared out nowhere!" Elliot said.
"I was preparing for bed when he appeared too." Machias said.
"I felt a dark presence and that's when he ambushed me." Fie said.
"I remember the same. Damn." Sara sighed.
"I remember training until he show up out of nowhere. I was completely defeated..." Laura muttered
"He even best you? He's gotten stronger it seems." Millium asked. "Then again, I was probably taking a nap or something. Can't remember."
"As for me. I was doing my usual duties... until he appeared in my office." Jusis muttered.
"Where's that ghost?" Levi pull his Glaive. "I have a score to settle with him!"
"You don't have to worry. He's captured now." Musse turn to Luigi's Poltergust. "But he isn't the only one who wanted revenge."
"Yeah. Elder Princess Shroob too." Alisa nodded.
"Elder Princess Shroob? Wait, isn't she the wicked Alien Princess?" Daisy asked.
"Yep. King Boo wasn't the only Ghost who wants revenge on us and was freed." Alisa nodded.
"Yeah. But it looks like you, New Class VII, Sharon, Luigi... wait is that Tita and Tio?" Levi asked
"Hello." Tio wave at him.
"Um, hello? I'm here?" Kirito sweatdrop.
"Um... can someone explain where are we?" Elliot asked as E. Gadd appeared with Yui via pixelated while Hoopa appeared in his portals. "Whoa!"
"Why you're in Treacherous Mansion!" E. Gadd said. "I'll explain everything. Right now, we need to prepare the Dark Moon and get everything back in order." E. Gadd said as appeared from Pixelator was his assistant as each of them carried the Dark Moon pieces. "Luigi, Alisa, or New Class VII, Tio or Tita, would you do the honors?"
The said names look at each other and nodded with a smile and as they along with the assistants combine the Dark Moon pieces as they resonate with each other and levitated into the air and form into it's formal glory. It swirl back into the sky and released a shockwave that spread throughout Evershade Valley and all the ghosts return back to their friendly self once more.
"And now for the big moment!" E. Gadd pull out the button and press the ghost button... and a few seconds later... all the ghosts Luigi and the others have captured flew toward them... this time, they have eyes.
"PROFESSOOOOOOR!" The Greenies yelled out as hug him.
"W-Wait... are they... ghost?" Millium turn pale.
"They are." Altina said, causing Millium to fainted. "Millium?!"
"Looks like she fainted." Elliot said, causing the others Ghosts to look confused and shrugged.
Then they heard a whining from a dog as they turn and see Polterpup approaching Luigi and the gang.
"Oh hey, you're that ghost dog who likes to cause us trouble. I guess you were also sucked into the poltergust, huh?" Juna asked as the Polterpup frown and look down on them. "What's wrong."
"I think he feels sorry for all the trouble he caused." Venti said.
"Haunter." A voice said as Hunter, Gasly, Punpkaboo and Greavard approached. "Haunter, Haunter."
"Gasily Gaaas."
"They say please forgive us too for the trouble we cause you too." Hoopa said.
"Aww, water under the bridge." Luigi smiled., causing the ghost Pokemon and Polterpup to respond happy as Polterpup jump into Luigi's arm and link him. "Ahahaha! Who's a good puppy, you're a good puppy."
"Aww, he's so adorble." Juna giggled as Polterpup jump into Juna's arms. "Whoa!" Then link her. "Ahahaha! Aww you're so cuuute!"
"Is that actually a ghost dog?" Levi blinked.
"More... like a ghost puppy." Rean blink.
"Everyooooone!" A Greenie called out as he carried a camera and landed. "Let's take a picture!"
"OOh sounds fun! Come on everyone! Let's take a picture!" Juna said as the others gather up while Jusis carried Millium.
"Say Cheese!" Greenie said.
"Cheese!" All of them yelled as they taken their picture.
"Okay. Now I'll begin explaining." E. Gadd said.
One long explanation later...
"Ah... I see. I understand the situation now." Rean smiled before facing Alisa, Luigi, Emma, Celine, and his students. "Luigi, Alisa, Sharon, Emma, Celine, Kirito, Tio, Tita... and my students. On behalf of Old Class VII... we thank you for saving us from King Boo... and saving our world."
"Aww, no need to thank us Instructor." Juna said.
"Indeed. We're glad we can help rescue you and the others." Kurt smiled.
"Hehehe. Maybe as a reward, you can take me out on a romantic cruise?" Musse giggled.
"Really, Musse? I mean Really?" Juna groaned.
"Ahah... How about we can discuss this tomorrow when we wake up?" Rean said "It's been quite a night."

After School... July 30, 1206
(Paper Mario ost - Flower Fields Rondo)
"All right, that will be the end of school day." Rean said. "Is everyone feeling good today?"
"Pretty much the same as usual back then." Juna sighed.
"Instructor, how were you and Levi discussing with Major Michael yesterday?" Altina asked.
"Yeah, he found out about us being late to return to campus, right?" Venti asked.
"He did. We did explain the situation to him. Of course, he wasn't happy about it... but he let it slide because of the kidnapping." Rean said.
"That guy needs to loosen up. But he is a military man." Levi sighed. "It wasn't our fault. Still, seeing you guys defeating King Boo and the Elder Princess Shroob was a major score for you guys. We can't thank you enough for rescuing us."
"Yeah. As your reward for saving us, our classmates, Mario, and Princess Daisy... Well, how about a meal in the Koopa Buffet? It will be on me and Levi."
"Oooh! That place is so good! Count me in!" Juna cheered.
"Try not to overdo it, Juna." Altina said.
"Well, I could take up that date." Musse said as she winked causing Rean to sigh. "Oh very well. I suppose I can accept this lovely meal."
"I ain't gonna turn down a free meal." Ash said.
"Well, what are we waiting for?" Venti asked. "Oh wait a moment! What about the money we collected during our rescue mission?"
"Oh yeah, you're right! We collected a large load, right? The Professor should still have it. We should go with Tita and talk about it." Juna said.
"Okay, guess we'll head to E. Gadd's company and talk about it." Levi said.
(BGM ended)
In Gadd Science Incorporation...
(Luigi's Mansion Ost - Gallery)
"Okay, there." E. Gadd said as he place in a new painting of King Boo and Elder Princess Shroob in a more secure place of a vault. "Now you won't be able to come out from there."
"Okay, so we got an invisible security laser system, security cameras, a force field and the second one if they detect an intruder has entered its field, which can also detect Ghosts and spiritual intruders. That should be it." Kirito said, reading what's on the clipboard as they leave the Vault area as E. Gadd pressed the button and then the door close with metal and others and a green light in the end. "It was a good idea to place the same thing with the Elder Princess Shroob and King Boos's men."
"Well it was your recommendation. I'm glad something like this won't do it again."
"That reminds me, remember all the money and jewels New Class VII, Alisa, Sharon, Tio and Tita found yesterday?"
"Oh yes, that reminds me. How was it?" E. Gadd asked.
"I went there in person and..." Kirito look through his notes. "This much." He show it to E. Gadd.
"Hmm... as expected. Alisa didn't want it, same with Tio and Luigi. I can imagine Rean's students will. I did promise them."
"I wonder why Tio didn't want this kind of money. Must be because of her job or something." Kirito said. "Anyway, about that thing with the Aeon System that Alisa and Tio talk about."
"Oh that's right. How do they love it?"
"Do you have to ask?" Kirito asked.
Meanwhile, with Alisa...
"Wooow!" Alisa said as she type in her new Earpiece portable computer. "Kirito, I love you so much." She giggled.
With Tio...
"Hoooo!" Tio eye sparks as she types in.
"Tio~ It's time for your lunch break, Mushy!" A Mishy-animated AI appeared on her Earpiece personal terminal.
"Thank yooooou Professor E. Gaaaaad!" Tio said with her tears on waterworks along with her newly built Orbal Staff that is more advanced than her current one.
"T-Tio? Are you all right?"
Back with E. Gadd...
"Ahahaha! I'm not surprised she loves her new orbal staff and the girl's personal Aeon and personal computer that you designed Kirito." E. Gadd laughed.
"Are you planning on heading back to Evershade Valley?" Kirito asked
"Yep. I still have a lot of research to do now that the whole mess is over." E. Gadd chuckled until his ARCUS ring. "Hello?"
"Professor. New Class VII and Miss Russell are here." The receptionist said.
(BGM ended)
"Ah, excellent timing! Let's go Kirito!" E. Gadd said as they took off to the main entrance where Rean and the others are there. "Hello New Class VII! And miss Russel too! Please come in, come in!" He said as they took off to a private meeting room. "Nice to see you youngsters again. I take it's about the money we collected in the manor?"
"Pretty much. How much did we get?" Ash asked
"Someone in a hurry to collect." Venti comment.
"Wouldn't you?"
"Right. You guys are going to be shocked by the numbers." Kirito chuckled. "Oh, and this is also going to be a surprise for you too Rean, Levi."
"Us? Why?" Rean asked. "Wait, is this about the money they gain?"
"Indeed. Kirito, care to show them?" E. Gadd asked
"Yep. The money we collected, with addition to the gems we collected, were taken to the Gold Exchanged and they calculated and reduced the qualities of each gold bar, dollar, coin, and gem we collected." Kirito flip the page on his clipboard
"Wait, did he say gold bars?" Levi blink.
"And... this is the exact amount you guys found in Mira terms." Kirito then reveal the numbers which is 21,000,000,000 mira.
New Class VII and Tita eye widen with the numbers of zeros that was on.
(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - The 2nd Branch's Routine)
"Three, two, one." E. Gadd put on the soundproof headset.
"18,000,000,000 MIRA?!" New Class VII and Tita yelled
"HOLY SHIT! THIS IS WAY MORE THAN I THOUGHT!" Ash yelled.
"You guys gain that much on the ghost adventure?!" Levi exclaimed.
"T-This is so much! This can be converted into Mira?" Tita asked.
"Yep. We figured you would react to this. This kind of money makes you feel like you're the richest person in the world. Or like winning a lottery. You guys earn this. However, this is the total amount we collected. Of course, that depends on you though if you want to keep it or not."
"B-But how can we carry that kind of money?! I mean there's absolutely no way we can carry that much in our pocket.
"I'll admit, I am quite surprised by this much money." Musse said. 'Still, it sounds like more than enough amount as backup... My goodness, I should thank the goddess for this kind of adventure~!"
"We had a feeling. Which is why we thought you guys should have a bank and credit account. Of course, it will take time to process this but if each of you wants this money, it will be split into 300,000,000 mira each."
"O-Oh I see." Kurt said.
"Damn... thought we each get over billions of Mira... but this much Mira in my pocket is still enough." Ash said.
"This is the part where we jump, right?" Levi asked
"Well... yes... and no. This is something they earn alone. It isn't something we can take away from. Still, I'm worried about how they will spend it." Rean answered
"True." Levi nodded.
"All right, Juna, Kurt. Altina, Venti, Musse, Ash, Tita. Although this is surprisingly... humongous amount of money you earn... What is you plan to do with this money?" Rean asked them
"Honestly, I... I don't know. I mean I could use this money for my family and me. That's one thing." Juna answered
"I would consider keeping it in my bank account for any means... if I had one." Kurt answered
"Well I'll keep that into my bank account." Altina answered.
"Good question. I don't want anything in specific. So I'll keep it into my bank account." Venti answered
"I have a bank account of my own. We can transfer it there." Musse answered
"Wait, you have a bank account?" Juna asked. "Oh, right, you're from the nobility."
"Oh it's nothing like that Juna. I like to think of it as an allowance. I never used it however unless I really need to."
"Damn... Don't know actually. Guess I'll put it into the bank. Who knows. Might come in handy later on." Ash answered.
"As for me... Oh! Maybe I can use it to purchase materialized for the Orbal Gear! After learning new combat data, I could use it for that." Tita answered.
"Well can't say I'm not surprised for Tita. Sounds like she could use it." Levi chuckled. 'Though it's Ash I'm worried about.'
'Yeah. But it's best not to mention it.' Rean agreed.
"Hey what are you two whispering about?" Ash asked.
"Hmm? What do you mean Ash?" Levi asked with a smile.
"All right. It's decided. We should get them their cards." Kirito said. "Though I imagine it will take awhile before it get ready. Let's go to the bank and we can get everything settled. Oh. Should we also inform your parents or guardians?"
"Well..." Juna scratched her cheek.

Meanwhile in the Gallery...
In King Boo Gallery where the security camera is still locked on him along with the other security system. Everything was going fine... Until the security camera was shut off along with the system.
"And that should do it." A voice said as Dimentio appeared.
(Super Paper Mario ost - Dimentio, Charming Magician)
"Ahahaha! You certainly are a devilish one aren't you, King Boo? Summoning ghosts from a paranormal world to unstable this world. Maybe you can be of some use." Dimentio said, snapping his finger as magic swirl around the painting and then King Boo was ejected out of it.
"Ah! I'm free from that cursed painting..." King Boo shook his body and growled before turning and see Dimentio. "Who are you?"
"Why I am the one who frees you from your imprisonment. Were you expecting some for your man?"
"Actually, I was. But it seems you broke me out on your own. Seems like E. Gadd little security system isn't a match after all."
"Oh, I wouldn't say for certain my ghostly friend. I just disable the barrier, security camera, and their force field to prevent any Boos and ghosts from assisting you. Me and other people included of course. Just a little... magic! I happened to see your little fun plan. I must say, I respect you good sir."
"Hmph. Well thanks for the rescue I suppose. Now I have to come up with a new plan for my revenge against that wretched goat, that green plumber... Reinford girl... ooh... so many I hate." King Boo grumbled. "But alas...
"In that case, I have a good idea. Why not serve Dry Bowser?" Dimentio suggest
"Dry Bowser? You don't mean King Bowser do you?"
"Oh no. I'm quite aware you're not part of his army. But I mean Emperor Raiden Bowser."
"Oh that guy, huh?" King Boo rubbed his chin. "I haven't heard that name in a while. So it's true that my scout said the ancient emperor has returned from the grave. And why should I serve him? I am not interested in becoming a vassal."
"Okay, but how about this? Do you become his ally instead? After all, he seeks to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom too." Dimentio said. "I can free that other one while we're at it?
"Is that right?" King Boo raised an eyebrow until a ghostly figure came on.
"Oh my! And here I thought I would be the one to rescue you? But someone beat me to it."
"And who are you?" King Boo asked
"I am Hellen Gravely! Your biggest fan~" Hellen answered with a fangirl expression.
(BGM ended)
In the Hexen Clan...
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Eryn, the Hidden Village)
"So it was this King Boo who infiltrated my village, did he?" Roselia asked, looking annoyed. "Why that annoying ghostly little... when I get my hands on him, I'll show him the meaning of fear! Still, I suppose you did do well against him." Roselia then turns to the Jewel and Artifact. "What's more, the jewel and artifact you brought back from Evershade Valley is intriguing."
"Have you discovered something special about the two Grandmother?" Emma asked
"We know that jewel was the one King Boo used on his crown that amply his power. But that artifact is something we found in Evershade Valley. I don't think it's an artifact from Zemuria." Celine said.
"I have done some studying on both of them. The jewel that King Boo uses is indeed special. It did more than just increase his power and how he destroyed this Dark Moon you spoke up. This Jewel in question contains a powerful essence of magic that can reduce the qualities magic needs to be spent and casting speed. It can even replenish the wielder, no different than the Master Quartz you used when casting Arts, but it's on a higher scale. I'm not sure how King Boo managed to acquire this jewel, but he certainly polished it well." Roselia answered, picking up the jewel as it gleamed.
"It's no wonder King Boo was more formidable than he was two years ago. That last jewel pales in comparison to that." Emma said, concerningly.
"Indeed. However, even without that crown, King Boo's powers even surpass Vita. That's something worrisome." Celine said.
"Really?" Roselia mused. "Hmm... that does count as concerning. But if King Boo is proven to be more formidable... I need to strengthen the barrier to prevent him from trespassing and whatever diabolical plans he has. Perhaps this jewel may be of some used." Roselia said with a grin on her face. "I should thank you for bringing this to me Emma. I was actually considering you having a new staff for your magic."
"A new staff, grandmother? What's wrong with my staff?" Emma asked.
"Nothing. That stuff you got from the academy serves as a prototype if I recall. New Orbal Staff have been created, thanks to trade from Fiore and the Mushroom Kingdom. Gandolf gain some new insights of building a stronger orbal staff. With the magic jewel like this, I'm sure you'll have no problem with casting more of your magic."
"I see..." Emma sits down on the chair as she thinks. "I suppose I could use a new staff... But I don't know... What do you think Celine?"
"Don't ask me. Still, if we can find another of those gemstones or at least something similar, it would be better for you. After all, with several worlds revealing magic existed, many people begin to take magic lessons from Fiore or even the Mushroom Kingdom." Celine answered
"True. I still need some time to think about it. But what about the artifact?" Emma asked.
"Ah yes, the Artifact. I have been doing some research and reviewing any existing artifacts from the ancient tomes... but this artifact doesn't seem to belong to Zemuria. I think it truly is a Mushroom Kingdom Artifact. Whoever built this truly was a genius. I found out this artifact is capable of amplifying the strength of certain objects, even magic. The sphere in the center acts as a catalyst whereas the blue sphere on the head acts as a sensor. I was able to figure out how it can be activated. It's like if you're in dire situations and were overwhelmed, it can respond to counter these measures to even the odds, or at least give a winning chance." Roselia explained
"So that explains how the Poltergust were stronger. The artifact strengthens the vacuum to defeat the overwhelming ghosts." Emma mused.
"Indeed. But it can control remotely apparently too. If you can equip it, you can channel its power and let it flow through you."
"I wonder who made this artifact." Celine wondered. "It was found in Evershade Valley."
"I guess we'll have to ask Professor E. Gadd to look into it." Emma said. "We also need to make sure no one finds out about those crystals as well."
Later a night...
(Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ost - Hesitation or Fire Emblem Engage ost - Dark Shadow or Scheming)
Somewhere in Zemuria, Dry Bowser along with Yuga was scanning the area.
"Hmm..." Yuga hummed to himself as his magic spread through the wound... until a shine appeared. "Aha! My lord! I found one!" He said as Dry Bowser approached him, and then used his hand to glow a dark aura and the ground began to rip apart, creating a fissure as something came out of the ground and it was a device as it flew into Dry Bowser's Hand.
"Another one of these orbments, hmm?" Dry Bowser mused. "How many have we collected?"
"Six of them so far. I wonder what are these devices. They look very important."
"Indeed they do... Yet these artifacts may be useful... once we understand their capability."
"My Emperor..." A Dry Bone approaches him. "My men and I discovered the origins of these devices."
"What are they?"
"They're called Oct-Genesis. They're proto-type Orbments created by Professor C. Epstein."
"Oh? Interesting name." Dry Bowser said with a sinister grim, looking at the Oct- Genesis. "What are these orbments capable of?"
"We're still looking into the matter my Emperor. However, I can confidently say they may be more useful."
"Good. Find out more about them and then we'll add some experiments. Including how many there are. Look up more of that professor as well." Dry Bowser commanded as the Dry Bone captain nodded and took off.
"Done digging?" A voice said as Medusa appeared.
"Ah, Medusa. Have you regained your strength?" Dry Bowser asked
"Just much of it. The Dream Stone sap some of my strength, thanks to those fools. But it's only a matter of time before I truly regain my full strength. How is it the little excavation?"
"It's proven beneficial. We just need to experiment with each one. We recovered many artifacts within this continent. On the related note, have you found anyone interesting that might be useful?"
Medusa rub her chin. "Actually... I think an interesting group of humans might be... useful. Have you heard of a Mafia called Almata?"
Meanwhile somewhere in Calvard...
A Young girl with blonde hair was looking into notes and sketches of the devices that Dry Bowser has. "Hmm... Where could they be?"
Meanwhile in Leeves...
"Man... I'm glad we got all of that settled." Juna sighed as she stretch out her arms. "Tomorrow is going to be another long day."
"Well it is the school life. But tomorrow we'll have another training regiment as well." Kurt said.
"Indeed. Wonder what's going to happen next." Altina wondered.
"Guess we'll find out tomorrow." Venti said, wrapping his arms around his neck as Ash yawned.
"Feeling sleepy, Ash?" Musse asked.
"Nah. I'm gonna take a bath." Ash said.
"Oh yeah, I'll go too. Oh, but I need put my bow away." Venti said.
"Well, I'm going to head out in town for a bit. Who wants to come?" Juna asked
"No thanks. I need to study up for the next exam." Altina said as Ash headed to his room and call out his Pokemon.
"Okay, you guys relax here while I go for a bath." Ash said as his Pokemon nodded as some of them begin to play with each other as Ash headed to the bathroom to take a bath and close the door. "Man. Talk about things taking awhile turn. With that much Mira I got... I'm gonna get some nice magazine. And if I'm lucky with the bard... he can somehow-" Suddenly, Ash felt something ominous. "Huh?"
"KILL THE VILES ONE..."
Ash eye widen. "That voice... no...!" Then his heart skip a beat. "Nngh!" He collapses on his knees as darkness surrounds him.
"KILL THE VILES ONE... KILL THE VILES ONE..."
"T...The... hell...? I thought... Sullivan... remove the... Ah... augh... aughh..." Ash let out a groan as his eyes slowly change to gold. "Ah... This pain... The memories... No matter how many times I tried to forget... It still... Damn it... I want to get rid of this damn pain..." He said as Ash got back on his feet with golden eyes, grinding his teeth.
A Corridor of darkness then appeared in front of him.
"That portal... It's just like..." Ash grumbled before looking down, and seeing a gun on his feet. "That gun... that look like the ones those Calvardian agents had..." He picked it up as he entered it and it disappeared.
Unknown from the scene, Maleficent was observing from her staff, letting her out with a grin.
In Valfame Palace...
"And that's what I'm planning to do at Thors Academy Festival. What do you think, Father?" Cedric asked.
"I think it's an interesting idea. I don't see why you come to me though." Eugent chuckled.
"Well I thought I should spend some time with my father, given the free time you have."
"Hahaha. I see. It getting late. You should head back to Thors now."
"Oh right. How silly of me." Cedric smiled... until a corridor of darkness appeared behind them, surprising both of them. "Wha-?!"
"Pardon for the intrusion." Ash said, coming out of it.
"You are...?" Eugent wondered.
"Wait... aren't you Ash from Class VII? How did you-"
(BGM ended)
"I suggest you leave, Prince." Ash told him, covering his left eye.
"Huh?" Cedric blink.
(Trails of Cold Steel III OST - Hamel ~Things Remains~)
"Ever since that day, Sullivan removed the thing that was in my left eye... I thought it was over for good. However... until recently again... I heard that damn voice again... memories of that day come back to me. Back when I was just a kid." Ash's darkness soon revealed. "That scene... where Hamel was burned to the ground... it was burned to my memory."
"Hamel?" Cedric tilt his head.
Eugent closed his eyes. "So it all comes back to that..."
"Huh?"
"Heh... even if years later when I was taking care of my mom... I kept hearing the voice..." Ash said, feeling melancholia. "Kill the vile one... KILL THE VILE ONE..." He then glares at Eugent. "The jaegers that attacked the town were slaughtered, and you executed all the masterminds... Then, you had Hamel's name wiped off the map. You're the one who let this happen, Emperor. Maybe the Queen of Liberl is just as guilty for keeping quiet... Or maybe even the other two. For running away and leaving me for dead. Or even that Scarecrow guy, the son of the mastermind." Then he pulled out the gun, causing Cedric to eye widen. "Hey... Tell me..." Then his darkness grow larger and he pointed the gun at Eugent. "Who do I gotta kill... to get rid of all this pain...?"
"A-Ash... what's gotten into you!?" Cedric yelled.
"The curse..." Eugent respond. "No... That looks like darkness..." He said until the door knock.
"Your Majesty? Is everything all right in there?" An IDF soldier asked on the other side of the door. "We heard shouting."
"Everything is fine." Eugent told them as he got up, causing Cedric to look surprised.
"F-Father? Why did you...?" Cedric asked.
"It's alright Cedric. I always knew someday this day would happen. But I had hoped you wouldn't witness this.. but alas..." Eugent turn to Cedric. "Please do not blame Ash for what is about to happen, Cedric." Then he turn to Ash. "Ash. I am the one responsible for Hamel." Then he offered his hand and gave a warm smile. "Let your years of suffering end with me."
Ash begin to shake. "Why the hell... would you...?" Then darkness took him, causing him to scream in agony as he shoot Eugent, causing Cedric to look in horror.
"FATHEEEEEEEEEEER!" Cedric yelled.
To be continued in Trails of Cold Steel: Rise of Darkness.
The haunted mansion is now ever... But a new chapter of darkness will soon arrive throughout the world of Zemuria.
Although the money part was never mentioned or brought up back in Dark Moon, I thought I should make this. After all, there was a lot of money and gems that were a fortune back in the first Luigi's Mansion game. And King Boo isn't over yet! And speaking off, A certain Calvard heroine will soon make her appearance... along with another protagonist.
