Passing through the pipe Mario falls down onto the wall he had knocked down startling the three Koopa Troopas who were praying there.
"Hey! Watch it! Don't step on our God!" One of the Koopa Troopa said pushing Mario off the image of the Earth Vellumental.
"Yeah step on our God you get a divine punishment!"
"I'm trying to worshippin' here!"
After the yelling the three of them went back to praying.
Olly whispers. "We should leave before they find out we did that."
Mario nods. Along with Olly they start climbing up the steps towards the exit but next to the rock they noticed a folded up bug that they didn't see before.
Mario whacks it and it unfolds.
"Phew. Thanks Mario. Say does this rock really look like the Earth Vellumental? I don't really see it honestly."
"No it's not." Olly chimes in.
"You say it like you know." The Toad replies.
"Uhh...Well...It looks nothing like a shell! It's more rock shaped." Olly tried to cover.
The Toad shrugged. "I guess you have a point there."
"Psst! Mario let's get out of here now." And the both of them hurry towards the exit of the Temple hopefully nobody telling the Koopa Troopas what they did.
-...-
Once outside there was a few things set up. There was a Toad selling some items,a rock figure, and a weirdly shaped mushroom. And to the right side of Mario was a Popcorn cart that a Toad was at.
Olly looked at the weirdly shaped mushroom. "That's a strange mushroom and it doesn't look like the one next to it."
Mario and Olly approaches the weird mushroom and has a closer look at it. "Hey!" The Toad managing the shop yells.
"You want this right? But why? If you want it then...It must be very valuable!"
Olly tried to interject. "Well it mi-"
"No! I will not sell it."
"But then why is it on displ-"
"I said no!"
Olly huffed. "You dare speak to a King this way!"
"Why I-" Mario just hits the mushroom with his hammer and it unfolded into a Toad.
The Toad jumped down from the stall. "I know what you were all thinking. You were planning on using me when you just thought I was a mushroom! Admit it!"
"I was thinking it."The other Toad muttered.
Olly turned away. "Tch such a rude Shop Owner." Olly turned this eyes to the Toad next to the Popcorn cart and heads over there with Mario following behind him.
"Oh hello! Would you like some Popcorn? It's 100 coins per bag."
"Popcorn? I've never heard of that so yes!" Olly declares.
"Umm. You don't mind paying right Mario?"
Mario pulls out 100 coins a gives it to the Toad.
The Toad nods a presses a button on the machine.
It starts shaking but instead of Popcorn poping out some crumpled up Toads start poping out of the machine.
They each say 'pop' before running off and the Toad looks down in disappointment.
"Ah...I guess there wasn't any in there."
Olly tilts his head. "Is that what it does? Is that where Toads are from?"
Mario shakes his head. As he motions Olly to follow him as they leave the Toad.
And head uptowards the Mountain.
-...-
Mario and Olly make there way up fast to the top of the mountain.
After reaching the top Olly headed over to the Earth Vellumental Magic Circle. "Let's get this over with Mario. Let's bring down this tower! But uh. Not in a crumple it kind of way."
Mario steps onto the Magic Circle below Olly and focused the energy again going into Olly.
Once again Olly unfolded and folded right back into his Earth Vellumental form standing tall and proud in front of the tower.
He waved his two front legs in front of the tower. The earth shaked and trembled as the raised up earth started to sink back into the ground bringing down the tower right back to it's correct position.
In a bright light Olly turns back to normal with a proud look on his face. "Ah ha! Now that's better! Onward Mario!"
As Olly heads towards the door and waits for Mario to open it.
Mario pulls the door open and let's Olly go in first and follows in behind him.
-...-
Once they entered they were in shock their were tears in reality in the floors and walls. But also their was really well drawn banana and mushrooms.
"This...Place is a mess!" Olly yelled out.
"Sister...Why did you have to ruin this place..." Olly laments.
Mario gives Olly a little pat on the back. "R-Right! I can't let myself worry about this to badly! I mean we can easily fix this! But I do have to admit those drawings are really amazing."
"My Sister was good at drawing but not at this level. So who could of drawn this?"
"But we should worry about that later." Olly looks down at the giant hole blocking their path.
"Let's deal with this first. Confetti time Mario!" Olly cheered.
Mario reached into the confetti bag and pulled out a throw the confetti. First batch wasn't enough so he threw more but still not enough and the bag was close to empty. With the last little bit he threw and it filled in.
The floor now patched up revealed a drawing of Olivia looking proudly in the drawing on the floor.
"Olivia? Huh it's a drawing of her."
"Hmm...Does my Sister know so sort of artist? That could be the person behind the wreckage of this place."
Olly then took noticed of the empitness of the confetti bag. "Oh! You used up all of your confetti patching up that hole Mario."
"Let's take a quick trip outside for more confetti." Olly suggested.
As they both made a turn to go back outside something slams up against the door. Mario tries to push the door open but to no avail.
"Great! Just great! Now how are we going to get confetti now." Olly complained.
"Alright whoever did that we'll play by your rules no outside for us."
Olly points to a Toad stuck in thr elevator door. "Mario maybe we should help him."
Mario heads over to the Toad and tries to pull him out. "STOP! STOP! YOU'RE RIPPING ME!"
Mario quickly stops after hearing the Toad's yell. "The button! Press the button."
Olly looks at the elevator button. "This one?" And he presses it.
The elevator door opens and the Toad flops to the floor.
"Phew. Now that was a ripping experience. But thankfully their was no actual ripping involed." The Toad says.
"But anyway! Welcome to Overlook Tower! 'The tower with a gift shop.' It's not the best slogan we have. But it's the one we go so far."
The Toad looked around at the mess. "Greeaatt. And look at that mess that thing left the tower in."
"The tears everywhere but I mean the artwork isn't bad but it reminds me to much of the thing that attacked us." The Toad shudders.
"Thing?" Olly says tilting his head to the side.
"Yes thing! It was awful it's rattling body and a huge jaw filled with a manner of fangs. I rather not see it ever again."
"Sounds like some sort of monster. But it also knows my sister so...Did my Sister make friends with one? Knowing her I wouldn't be suprised if she tried."
Olly floated towards the Toad. "But no need to worry Mario is here and I the Origami King! Are here to help! So there is nothing to fear!"
"Well that is reassuring."
"So where is this monster now?" Olly asked.
"It's at the very top of the tower. If you take the elevator you'll get their more quickly since the stairway is kind of out of order now."
"Alright let's go Mario to the top!"
Mario and Olly head into the elevator the door closes behind them.
-...-
With the doors closer Olly turns to Mario.
"Hey Mario could you humor me for a second?" Olly asks.
Mario nods. And Olly presses the top button.
"Ahem! Vistors of Overlook Tower we are now passing up the third floor. Paper,Pencils,Pens,Drafting Compasses, And Staplers."
And the elevator goes upwards as Olly is talking.
"Next stop fourth floor Paints,Paper Crafts,Hole Punches, And two very important items Origami Paper! And a Big Red Streamer."
Olly looks proudly at Mario. "Heh liked what I did there Mario? I heard my Sister talk about how some fancy department stores have an elevator operator. And how she wanted to be one. So I thought in her honor I would try it out."
"It was kind of fun even if I just mention things related to what you can do with paper."
"Maybe I can do it on the way dow-" BANG! Something sharp forced it's way into the elevator almost piercing Olly.
Then another makes it way into the elevator almost hitting Mario.
Then a third one as well with Mario and Olly in the very center of the elevator hoping more doesn't decend into the elevator.
"Great!" Olly groans. "Some is stopping us in our path. And that elevator operator act was kind of fun..."
"Hmm...Wait I got it!" Olly floats to the very top. "Ahem. I'm sorry dear vistors of Overlook Tower there seems to be an issue with the elevator. But thankful my dear friend Mario is the solution."
Olly then floated back down to Mario. "Psst! That's your cue."
Mario getting what Olly was saying got a look at what was sticking into the elevator which strangley looked like coloured pencils. Then Mario got an idea he picked up his hammer and gave it a whack. And the stick was no longer in the elevator and the elevator also shook a bit.
Mario heads over to the other to hitting them out while also the elevator shaking more.
"Huh. Mario now that I think about it more wasn't those sticks keeping us from-"
With sudden force the elevator heads right back toward ground with the force blowing Olly and Mario to the ceiling of the elevator.
"FFFFRRRROOOOMMMM FFFFFFAAAAAAALLLLLLIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!" Olly cried out.
As they decend to the first floor.
