(Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Eggy, and Ms. Mowz finally made it to Twilight Town where they quickly noticed there were pigs scattered around the village)

MARIO:

What the mama-mia happened?

GOOMBELLA:

They turned into pigs, Mario.

TWILIGHTER:

Help! Help! The bell's gonna ring any second now!

(A loud bell sound can be heard in the distance)

TWILIGHTER:

It just happened! It just…

(The twilighter immediately turned into a pig, which made Mario's group gasp in horror)

GOOMBELLA:

That is literally the craziest thing that could ever happen, aside from those dead fighters that Grubba killed!

MAYOR:

No! Not Freddy! He's been turned into a pig!

MARIO:

Who said that?

(The twilight mayor approached Mario)

MAYOR:

My name is Dour! I'm the mayor of Twilight Town! I wanna talk to you and your buddies about this situation if you don't really mind?

MARIO:

Sure.

DOUR:

Alright, come into my house!

(Mario and gang followed Dour into his house)

DOUR:

So, you're THE Mario? Like, THE Super Mario?

MARIO:

You're talking to the one and only! And this Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, Eggy, and Ms. Mowz!

DOUR:

Nice to meet you all in person! Now, the situation is that ever since we started to hear the bell ring, my people are turning into pigs!

MARIO:

I noticed, and I'm-a betting it has something to do with the Chaos Emerald that's powering a giant bell in some slaughterhouse!

DOUR:

So you'll go there and destroy the bell?

MARIO:

Sure thing, we'll destroy the bell and save your people!

(The giant bell can be heard from the distance again and this time, Dour himself became a pig)

GOOMBELLA:

And we gotta hurry if we don't wanna become bacon!

KOOPS:

But how will we ever get there as fast as we can? We don't even have a vehicle!

(Eggy smirked)

EGGY:

Not for long, Koops! We'll just borrow their car and bring it back when we're done!

(But a duplighost who's wearing a party hat barged in Dour's house and grabbed Dour and left the house)

FLURRIE:

Where in the name of Flurries are they taking the poor mayor?

(Mario and gang rushed out of the house and found out that the villagers were stuffed in the truck and squealing for their lives)

GOOMBELLA:

This is terrible!

DUPLIGHOST LEADER:

Well, that's all of them! Ooh, I forgot you, little piggy! You're gonna cry "wee-wee-wee-wee" all the way home!

MARIO:

Alright, let's-a quickly get in the truck!

(Mario and gang quickly snook in the truck)

GOOMBELLA:

He's probably gonna…

(But before Goombella could finish, the duplighost unintentionally threw the little pig at Goombella. He then quickly noticed there were non-pigs in the truck)

DUPLIGHOST:

What are you doing, slicks!?

MARIO:

We… gave up and decided to be pigs.

EGGY:

What do the pigs sound like?

KOOPS:

Oink oink oink!

DUPLIGHOST:

Ooh, the more the merrier! I like it!

(The duplighost closed the trunk and started driving. As he was driving, rock and roll started playing on the radio)

GOOMBELLA:

Okay, now what's your plan, Mario?

MARIO:

Once we get to that slaughterhouse, we pounce at that ghost in a sheet, grab him, throw him out of here, find the Chaos Emerald, destroy the bell, and save the twilighters!

GOOMBELLA:

I like where you're going with that!

(The bell rang again, and this time, it was Ms. Mowz's turn to be a pig. Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and Eggy gasped when they saw Ms. Mowz as a pig with a mask)

KOOPS:

Ms. Mowz!

FLURRIE:

Oh em gosh! I do not like this at all!

MARIO:

Just hang in there!

(Inside the slaughterhouse, two duplighosts were just sitting there, waiting for their leader to come)

DUPLIGHOST #1:

Don't you think we got all of those stupid villagers?

DUPLIGHOST #2:

I think so. Our plan's gonna be a success thanks to that silver diamond!

(They could hear their leader parking in the garage)

DUPLIGHOST #1:

It's our leader!

(The duplighost leader got out of his truck to unload the pigs, but once he opened the trunk, Mario and Koops pounced on him)

DUPLIGHOST LEADER:

Aah! What the mama-mia are you doing!?

MARIO:

Come on, Koops! Let's kick this doofus out of his home!

DUPLIGHOST LEADER:

How do you know I live here…?

FLURRIE:

Hurry! Throw him in the well!

(Mario and Koops dragged the duplighost to the well)

DUPLIGHOST LEADER:

No! What do you think you're doing, slicks!?

(Mario and Koops threw the duplighost leader in the well)

KOOPS:

That'll take care of him, right, Mario?

GOOMBELLA:

Uh, there's more where that came from!

KOOPS:

What?

DUPLIGHOST #1:

You killed our master!

DUPLIGHOST #2:

We will avenge you, master!

(The duplighosts charged at the trio, but Flurrie body slammed them right on cue. Eggy sucked them in his mouth and dropped them down the well)

MARIO:

Now that's what I call… a teamwork! Hi five, everyone!

(Mario hi fived Koops, Flurrie, and Eggy. Mario was gonna hi five Goombella until he realized that she doesn't have any hands, so he air hi fived her)

GOOMBELLA:

We actually do make a great team, Mario. Let's go inside!

FLURRIE:

Hey, that pink sky looks pretty.

MARIO:

Yes, that does.

(They all got inside the slaughterhouse and explored for a bit)

KOOPS:

Man, it's chilly in here.

(Koops could hear his voice echoing)

MARIO:

I love adventures with echos! Hey, Goombella, say hello out loud!

GOOMBELLA:

HELLO!

(And, of course, her voice repeated itself as it got quieter)

EGGY:

I can do better than that!

KOOPS:

Oink!

MARIO:

Mama-mia, it's-a Bowser, who's kidnapped the princess!

KOOPS:

Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!

MARIO:

Curse you, Toad!

EGGY:

The Great Gonzales is here to kick Macho Grubba's butt!

GOOMBELLA:

Oh no, Lord Crump's gonna kill me!

(Mario grabbed Goombella, Koops, and Eggy and hugged them all)

MARIO:

Bring it in for the good stuff, family o' mine!

(Mario, Koops, and Eggy started laughing)

GOOMBELLA:

Wait!

(They immediately stopped laughing)

GOOMBELLA:

Mario, what did you just say to us?

(Mario took a deep breath)

MARIO:

Goombella, there's something we need to talk about.

FLURRIE:

Hey guys, guess what? I found the emerald! It's being powered by a bell!

MARIO:

We'll talk about this later, let's grab that emerald and get the heck out of…

(Just then, someone barged in the slaughterhouse, and it was a purple silhouetted Mario and the two duplighosts)

PURPLE MARIO:

Don't let them get the diamond!

MARIO:

Uh oh!

GOOMBELLA:

Is that…?

KOOPS:

No, that's… you, Mario? But you're completely purple!

MARIO:

Wait, isn't that the duplighost? But I thought he died in that well!

PURPLE MARIO:

You thought wrong, slick! For I kinda turned into you and climbed up the well, and now I'm gonna finish you off!

EGGY:

Run, Gonzales! Let's get that emerald!

MARIO:

Flurrie! Fly up there and grab the emerald!

(Flurrie hurriedly flew up but the purple silhouetted Mario threw his purple hammer at her and she lost her flight)

MARIO:

Flurrie!

FLURRIE:

Ooh… Mario, you must get the emerald before the monster does. I'll be fine, by the way.

(Knuckles came in and tackled the purple Mario)

KNUCKLES:

Now Mario! Now's your chance to grab that Chaos Emerald and free the people!

(Mario noticed the shackles and hoisted himself up there. He then jumped on the giant bell. The other Mario noticed this and freed himself and threw Knuckles out of the slaughterhouse)

PURPLE MARIO:

Stupid anteater! No! That's mine!

(The purple Mario hurriedly hoisted himself up and jumped on the bell to stop the real Mario, but they both touched it at the same time, and as the emerald was being powered, they were electrocuted, and the whole slaughterhouse lit up. It went on for a minute until everything blacked out. Goombella flickered on the light of her miner helmet)

GOOMBELLA:

Is everyone okay?

KOOPS:

I'm okay.

EGGY:

That was one bad black out! Where's Gonzales?

FLURRIE:

Mario?

GOOMBELLA:

Mario!!! Where are you!?

(Just then, they heard Mario chuckling)

FLURRIE:

Mario? Are you okay?

(Mario showed up out of nowhere with a creepy look on his face)

KOOPS:

Whoa, Mario! What happened to your face?

GOOMBELLA:

He and the duplighost got shocked big time!

MARIO:

Yeah, but I'm okay! And that's what really matters!

EGGY:

But you don't sound like yourself!

MARIO:

At least I got my precious diamond!

GOOMBELLA:

Score! You got the fourth Chaos Emerald, Mario!

FLURRIE:

Yeah, let's get out of this place before the purple Mario wakes up!

(Mario, Goombella, Koops, Flurrie, and Eggy quickly escaped the slaughterhouse, leaving the purple shadow behind who was passed out from that incident. However, the three Chaos Emeralds were somehow scattered around him)
