Mario couldn't scream. He was too scared to. His friend Shido had died from Origami, of whom Mario failed to ward off. The only thing Mario could do now, was wait for Tohka's wrath. He looked onward to Tohka, shivering slightly.

Tohka, already, was too late in reasoning with. She pulled out her giant sword, Sandalphon, and she shouted "Halvanhelev!" She swung at her own throne, causing the throne to break. The pieces magically gathered around Sandalphon. Eventually building up toward the sword, causing it to grow to enormous lengths. She jumped up and pointed the sword VERY CLOSE to Origami, despite Tohka being far, to give you a grasp on how big it is. "It was... you.. You killed him. I saw it. You shot him."

"I... did..." Origami was stunned. She couldn't pick up on anything. She couldn't grasp what she had done. Killed Shido. "I.. killed him..." Tohka was swinging her sword rapidly, Origami's shield barely protecting herself from all damage, it would be a miracle that it wouldn't break. "I'm like them... The Spirits... I killed a man..."

Mario panicked. Luckily, he also had a communicator. He quickly tapped it. "Kotori? You better have a backup plan for-a this!" Mario was on the verge of yelling. How could he not? He witnessed DEATH.

Kotori, however, was ignoring Mario, more focused on Tohka's destruction than Shido's death. "Hm, well, if she breaks out like this when Shido's gone, clearly he's a knight in shining armor and clearly SHE'S not worth our trouble."

One of the Fraxinus crew members finally spoke up. "Commander, what about Shido?"

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about him." How smug. "My bro won't be finished off by something like that." Everyone gasped and turned to the screen. There, on Shido's blood wound, was a blue flame, slowly sealing the wound with more flesh, gaining him back life. "There it is."

"HOOOOT HOTHOTHOTHOT!" Shido rapidly smacked the fire to put it out. After putting it out, he had the sudden realisation. "Where am I?" He looked around. Hadn't he been shot before?

The crew members gasped. "What is the meaning of this?!"

Kotori simply smiled. "I said it once and I'll say it again, when Shido dies, he's able to start a new game. Waste no time, we gotta save the Princess. And I know just how to do that." Within an instant, Shido was teleported. Mario gasped. What just... Huh?!

"Did I just-a see him come back to life without a 1-Up Mushroom?!" Mario was baffled. "Uuuh, I don't-a know if I should attack someone who's-a already defenseless! Uuuuh..." Mario looked around, all he could do was watch it all play out.

Tohka raised her sword one more time. She had broken Origami's defense, with the latter coughing blood. "Shido... This is for you."

"Mom.. Dad..." Origami closed her eyes, awaiting fate. "I'm sorry..."

"I will avenge you, Shido!" Tohka was about to swing her sword down until she heard a familiar voice.

"TOOOOOOHKAAAAAA!" Shido was plummeting sky-high from ABOVE her, goodness knows. Must've been Fraxinus. Tohka completely ignored the suffering Origami and went for Shido. She caught him.

She was at a loss for words. "I.. I... I'm so happy you came back!" She cried, burying her face in her skin.

"Y-yeah.. I'm back..." So was Shido with the word-loss. He stared at the GIANT DESTRUCTION SWORD next to him. "Uuuuh, Tohka-?! What is this?"

"I unleashed Halvanhelev... If I don't unleash it..."

"You CAN'T unleash it!"

"Then what do I do?"

Kotori bursted into Shido's eardrums. "Now's your chance. Do the method we always told you to." Shido nodded.

"Tohka... To stop this madness, you have to kiss me!"

"Wh-what-"

Shido instantly regretted the decision. "Sorry! I should think of something else."

Curiosity will SAVE the cat. "No, I just don't know what a kiss is!"

"Wh-"

"Tell me and I'll do it!"

Shido gulped. "It's... where you put your lips together and-" Shido didn't even get to finish the sentence. She straight up went in for the kill. She kissed him. Her sword in her hand slowly disintegrated, as well as her Astral Dress. Astral Dress being her clothing. They slowly floated back down, them being silhouettes in the sunset.

"Don't let me go, I'm not ready for you to see me naked yet." She was right. She was bare naked thanks to Shido's kiss and Shido's hands were NOT helping as they were... somewhere on Tohka's body. Shido went red and he tried not to move whilst screaming inside.

"Gotcha!" Mario called out as he tossed a long blanket. Without hesitation, Shido wrapped the blanket around Tohka.

"Thanks, Mario, but where did you get these blankets?"

"Let's just-a say I camped outside last night." Mario gave a subtle hint. Shido gave a happy sigh.

"You could've just stayed at our house. You're always welcome."

"Stayed at your house..." Both Tohka ground-level and Kotori Fraxinus-level muttered.

"What's with this stinking island?"

A dragon roar came after that statement. A certain figure leapt on the screen. A giant turtle with horns on his head and awesome red hair. It was Bowser, Mario's arch-enemy, and currently sane and not Spirit-induced crazy. Currently, he was on a crossaint-shaped island. He looked around the paradise and saw no useful material. "Bad luck? Ech... What was I doing after I blacked out?" Bowser tried to recall. He remembered the Moon, the place he got ditched back on... A cave... and a crystal. Some figure gave him the crystal.

"That figure! I must punch the heck out of her!" Bowser came to his classic conclusion. Luckily, nobody was around to witness the presence of the Koopa King. He stomped around the island, starting his hunt for the phantom.

A job well done, Mario thought. "Wahoo, We-a saved Tohka!" Wonder what Shido's-a up to?"

Cut to Shido, who was just at a complete faze-out when he saw that Tohka was already transferring into his school. "Hi! My name's Tohka Yatogami! It's a pleasure to meet you all!" Jealous envies came from the entire class on how cute and innocent she was. Shido could only prepare himself for a rough life when Tohka decided to sit right next to him.

Cut back to Mario. He was walking alone in the street, not minding the citizens' odd glances towards him. He put his hands behind his head as he walked. "One-a Spirit saved, still no-a way to get-a home or a sign of-a any of my-a friends..." His train of thought was cut short when the school bell rang and it started to rain. Odd... "Wasn't it only a 10% chance of rain...?" Mario thought. He ran back to Shido's house, in which Shido gave him directions to. That's when Mario stopped. He saw a human girl with blue hair.

And she was carrying a bunny puppet. The trio could only be reminded of Calavera. Except this felt a lot uneasier.

"This-a girl seems happy to play in-a the rain..."
