"Here we are." Lloyd said as they return to the Crimson Tower entrance.

"That certainly took you long enough! We been waiting for ages!" The Blue Toad complain

"The Three chosen Toads hath assembled." The yellow Toad said

"It's time to fulfill our destiny." The red Toad jump to the keyhole with his fellow chosen Toads for a moment. But nothing happen

"Oi, what's give? Nothing happeniiiiiiiiing!" The Blue Toad said.

"But... it is written. In the book of hitting things with hammers!" The Yellow Toad said

"So you want us to hit you?" Mario asked

"Yep. Go for a little oomph or KAPOW!" The Red Toad said as Mario and Luigi hit each Toads, causing their eyes to glow and a gemstone over their heads lit up.

The Gate begin to rose up, taking the Toads with it, touches lit up.

"Well the gate is open but... what about the Toads?" Huey asked. "They're... gone."

"They sacrifice themselves to open the path?" Elie saidden.

"No, we're still alive!" The Blue gem open a hatch, revealing the Toads.

"Oh!"

"Go forth to your fate at Crimson Tower, Young ones." The Yellow Toad said

"Take care! I hope you can find the Big Paint Star... for justice!" The Red Toad declared as the Party took off.

"HOLY PAINT STARS, LOOK!" Huey pointed to the large colorless spot in the background.

"Mama mia! That's-a big colorless spot!" Mario exclaimed.

"I think I'm going to be sick..." Huey groaned

"Did Bowser's men do this?" Elie asked. "I can't believe they were able to drain a large about of colors!"

"I don't think it's possible with the paints you all have with your weapons to complete it." Aoi said. "If that building is the Crimson Tower... I'm afraid we won't be able to access it."

"Damn... what do we do now?" Lloyd asked

"Oi! Hurry it up!" A voice yelled as they turn to the source.

(Trails of Cold Steel III ost - Temporary Speculation or Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - A Dark Sign)

"The boss doesn't want to see any paint left behind, so come on, move it!" The Cavalier orders the group of Shy Guys and humans pouring paint into the large Bucket on their airship.

"Yeah, yeah we know!" A Human soldier sighed. "Anyway, we're just about done yet."

"Everything check?" A Shy Guy asked as they nodded.

"Very well." The Cavalier nodded and look up. "Oi! Everything ready!"

The Airship begin to take off.

"Oh no! They're getting away!" Lloyd growled as the Airship take off.

*Chain*

*Record Scratch*

"Waah!" The Cavalier holding onto the chain as the ship responded to shake, nearly spill the bucket of paint. "GOD DAMN IT, YOU IDIOTS! THE ANCHOR IS STILL HOOK! WHO'S RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT REMOVING THE TAPE ON THE ANCHOR?!"

"It was Johnson, sir!" A Shy Guy exclaimed.

"Damn it Johnson! You were supposed to remove the tape on the anchor!"

"Sorry! I was distracted okay!" A human cried. "My girlfriend was texting me and—"

"Save it!" The Cavalier sighed. "The boss isn't going to be happy if we don't return with the paint. He'll have our heads including—" Then he saw the Group but couldn't tell from the height. "Oh thank Aidios— Oiiiiiii! You people down below! Can you remove the tape on our anchor? We really appreciate it if you do!"

"Okay!" Lloyd yelled back.

"W-Wait, we're actually going to help them?" Elie asked in disbelief.

"No. We need to return the paint back to that colorless area. Everyone, let's hijack that ship."

"Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about!" Randy smirked as they headed to the anchor, first recalled their Pokemon to their Pokeballs, and then removed the tape.

"Thank you! Okay, retract the Anchor!" The Cavalier yelled as the anchor is being retracted while everyone hold on tight and then reach the airship.

"We made it, come on!" Lloyd said as they climb of the anchor and arrive at the deck.

(Super Mario Galaxy ost - Bowser Jr. Airship Armada)

"Oh thank goodness!" Tio sighed.

"All right, let's kick these guys asses!" Randy got out his weapon as everyone else did too.

"Aaah! Captain! It's the Mario Bros, Princess Peach and the other guys! They're here!" A Shy Guy yelled.

"What?!" The Cavalier yelled. "Damn it, it must have been them! Take them down!" He yelled as the Shy Guys and Human soldiers got out their weapons and charge to attack.

Mario and Luigi dash toward the Humans soldiers who swing their sword and lance, but they dodge and give both of them an uppercut and slash their hammers on them while Elie and Tio cast the Orbal Arts: Nemesis Arrow and Crystal Edge to knock back a couple of Shy Guys. Peach swing her lance as one Shy Guy dodge and then tackled her to the ground, she kick the Shy Guy off the ship. Lloyd combat with a Human soldier with his axe, but block and counterattack, knocking the guy away while Randy, swing fiercely and taken down a couple of them.

Aoi throw steel wires to capture some of the Shy Guys and then taken them down with slashes.

"Hey! That girl is alone and has no weapon! Get her!" A Shy Guy pointed and charge toward her.

"Jigglypuff, Hyper Voice!" KeA throw her Pokeball and came out Jigglypuff.

"Jigglypuuuuuuuufff!" Jigglypuff's eyes glow light blue and fired multiple transparent rings toward the troops.

"Aaaaaugh! We're mistaken!" The Humans oldier was knock out of the ship.

"Damn it!" The Cavalier growled and put the ship on auto-pilot. "I won't let you take this paint!" He got out his sword and charge toward Lloyd.

He swings sword and slash at Lloyd, but he block his attack, then coutner with a punch. The Cavaliers move his head and then thrust and slash. Lloyd taken some hit then Roundhouse kick him, then punch his stomach and then punch him.

"Augh!" He winch, rolling to the side and then Randy stomp on the guy's back.

"All right, we got the ship!" Randy said.

"Wait, isn't he the one who knows how to pilot this shop?" Huey asked. "Does anyone know how to pilot this ship!?"

"I got it!" Mario approach the wheel and then begin string toward the Crimson Tower.

"W-Wait, what are you doing?!" The Cavalier panicked as they return above the Crimson Tower.

"All right, start talking, where's the button to drop the bucket?" Randy pointed his Halbard at him.

"Nnhg! I will never tell you! And even if I did, you don't know what you're doing!"

"Yeah right. We're taking this paint back to where it belongs."

"No, you don't understand! Literally!"

"Okay, I think this button is the pour." Mario press the button.

An Alarm was triggered.

"Huh?"

"You idiot! That's the self-destruct button!"

"WHAT?!" The group yelled

"Why would you have to see the self-destruct button?!" Tio yelled

"In case we have to sacrifice our ship! But that button shouldn't be there!" The Cavalier answered

"5...4...3...2...1..."

(BGM ended)

The ship exploded, dropping the paint back to the Tower and the background back to normal as a bridge rolled from the tower and back to where it was. Mario, Luigi, Peach, the SSS, and Aoi gentle fell to the ground as Jigglypuff the Ballon Pokemon gently floated down.

"Whoa! That was insane!" Tio said. "I can't believe we surprised that! It's like being in those action movies!" Tio said.

"Well it's a good thing we're made out of paper." KeA giggled.

"Leaving the paper aside, are you okay Kiddo? I mean that was a real dangerous spot we were just in." Randy said

"Oh I'm perfectly fine Randy. Being a paper being does have its advantages when it comes to falling."

"Well, she isn't wrong but here's hoping we don't do that again." Lloyd scratching his head and turn his back to the Crimson Tower. "On that note, the Crimson Tower is back to normal."

"Yeah. Now we can reach which paint star its in." Mario nodded. "Is everyone ready?" He asked as they nodded. "Then let's-a-go.' Then they cross the bridge and go into the tower.

(Paper Mario: Color Splash ost - Crimson Tower)

"So this is the Crimson Tower..." Elie look around as they walk. "It certainly has an aura of ancient history."

"Yeah. Say, Huey, you said that the paint star was stronger than the mini-paint Star right?" Lloyd asked

"That's right. There is only one Star that has that limitless power and it's the Paint Star!" Huey said.

"So one of the Paint Stars are here. It must be on top of this tower. Let'a make our way to the—" The ground shook

"Huh?" Mario stopped. "What was that?"

"Something's coming." Aoi look around and turn to the wall as the ground shook.

"Bursting out from the wall on the background was Morton.

"MORTON ARRIVED!" Morton yelled

"Morton?!" Mario exclaimed. "He's one of the Koopalings!"

"That's one of Bowser's top minions, right?" Randy asked "Why is he here?"

"WHAT WAS MORTON HERE AGAIN?" Morton rub his chin. "YEAH! DA BIGGUN! BIG OL' PAIN STAR! NEED FIND BIG PAIN STAR! FIND RIGHT NOW, AND FASTLY!"

"He's after the Big Paint Star! We can't let him beat us!" Lloyd stated. "Everyone, let's go!" Then they take of running.

"Wait, how does he know the Big Paint Star is here?" Huey wondered

They hurry tog et across the moving floors moving the opposite way and then made their way to the hallway as Goombas, Axe Fighters, and Sword Fighters block their way to the stairs. They push through them and made their way to the next level

"Okay, we made it to the second floor, but I don't see Morton. He must be closeby." Lloyd said.

"But there's a bunch of Bowser's minions blocking our path." Luigi said

"Leave some of them to us as we go through." Elie said.

"Right. We can't let him reach the Big Paint Stars." Tio nodded as they climb up the sitarcases and takenc are of a few obstacles along the way.

"AH!" Morton staring at the group.

"AAAAAAH!" Huey yelled

"AH!" Morton said

The group sweatdrop.

"Hello, Morton." Mario said.

"AH! MARIO! NO BIG PAIN STAR FOR YOU!" Morton yelled as he ran up the stairs, broke the two floors behind him, and took off.

"Ah! He broken the floors!" KeA exclaimed.

"Let's use the cutout technique if possible!" Peach said as they take out a couple of Human soldiers and use the Cutout technique to get across.

Then they made it to the top.

(BGM ended)

"We made it!" Huey sighed of relief.

"MARIO! TOO LATE!" Morton yelled

(Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam ost - Bad Koopalings)

"MORTON FIND PAIN STAR!"

"No it's not called pain star! It's called Paint Star!" Huey argued. "Wait, why am I arguing with you! That's the red Big Paint Star! But there's something wrong with it. We need to help it quick!"

"BAD MARIO FIND PAIN STAR! BUT MORTON FIND IT MORE! MORE MORTON'S! MORE TON! MORTON CRUSH MARIO AND FRIENDS!"

"Okay, I can only make out that he's gonna fight us." Randy said.

"If only we can understand through his intelligence level..." Tio sighed as she and the others got their weapons out and took their stand.

"Either way, we won't lose to you Morton!" Elie declared.

(BGM ended)

"Phew. We sure have our hands full with him." Lloyd said. "I can see how you two earn your reputations when facing the Koopa Forces with that level of strength."

"Haha. Don't we all?" Mario chuckled.

"Ooogh..." Morton got back on his feet. "MORTON LOST? BAD MARIO AND FRIENDS GET PAIN STAR... MORTON SAD... BUT MORTON SCARED..."

"Huh? Why are you scared Morton?" Luigi asked.

"WHY MORTON SCARED?" Morton close his eyes and think. "MORTON REMEMBERS! EVIL MAN ORDER MORTON. IF MORTON FAIL, MORTON IS PUNISHED!"

"Evil man?" Elie asked

"That doesn't sound like something he would normally name Bowser." Peach said.

"MORTON MUST HIDE. BUT MORTON CAN'T—" Suddenly a portal appeared underneath, pulling him in. "—ABANDOOOOOOOOOOOON..."

"Morton!?" Peach ran to the portal but it closed.

"Mama mia! What was that?!" Luigi asked.

"A portal?" Mario asked.

"Um, don't usually Bowser's forces teleport or something?" Tio asked

"Yes, but Morton or a couple of the Koopalings use their Clown Car to escape or something like breaking through walls, Morton is no exception. I don't think I seen him use a portal."

"So this Bowser Guy is Morton's boss, right?" Huey asked

"Yes, but calling Bowser an "evil man" isn't something he calls him. He always says Lord Bowser or Master." Peach said.

"Okay, but Bowser order him to take the Big Paint Star, right?"

Lloyd rub his chin. 'Morton expressions...'

"MORTON SAD... BUT MORTON SCARED...EVIL MAN ORDER MORTON. IF MORTON FAIL, MORTON IS PUNISHED! MORTON MUST HIDE. BUT MORTON CAN'T— ABANDOOOOOOOOOOOON..."

'He was in fear. Which means someone else is commanding him. Whoever teleported him away must be taken in for punishment. But what? I got a bad feeling all of the sudden...'

"Well, on the bright side is that we've found the red Big Paint Star!" Huey approached the red Big Paint Star. "But it look fainted from being so dried out. Time to wake it up! Everyone, jump ont it!"

"Right." Randy nodded as he notice a Cat-o-Luck. "Oh look, its one of those things."

"Oh a Cat-o-Luck. Rean mention they bring good luck to their owners." Mario said, picking it up and squeeze the paint out of it and collect it. "All right, let's a go wake up that paint star!" Then he notice a colorless Toad. "Oh!" He slam his hammer and painted the Toad

"Oough... Huh? Where am I?" The Toad got back on his feet and groaned. "And what happened to the Cat-O-Luck? Wait, Mario!? Luigi?! Princess Peach?! Oooh I get it! The Cat-o-Luck sent them to save Port Prisma! Woohoo! I know it was worth making the trek from Port Prisma to wish on a cat! Woohoo!" And he takes off

"Well... okay then." Randy said as they touch the Big paint Star

(Paper Mario: Color Splash ost - You got the Paint Star)

The Red Big Paint Star open its eyes and then circle around everyone.

"Oh it wants us to hop on!" Peach said.

"Are you sure we can all fit it?" Aoi asked

"Guess we'll find out if we stack together." Mario said as they all jump and grabbed a hold on the Paint Star and then flew out of the Crimson Tower.

They flew toward Scarlet Gate which was drain its colors in the Sunglow Ridge. The Big Paint Star painted over it, regaining its color while the Purple Toad jawdropped and then jump in joy and take off.

"Whooooa." KeA said in awe as they return to Prisma Fountain and hop off. "Thanks for the ride red Big Paint Star!"

The Big Paint Sttar nodded and then flew back to its red center, splashing red paint and refill it.

(BGM ended)

"Finally! The red Big Paint Star has return to its rightful place! Thanks to every one of you! I couldn't done it without your help." Huey smiled if he had one.

(Paper Mario: Color Splash ost - Paint Stars Memories)

"Thank... you."

"Who said that?" Elie look around.

"Me." The Red Big Paint Star answered.

"Whoa! he Big Paint Star can talk!" KeA jawdropped.

"I second that jawdropped! This never happen before!" Huey exclaimed

"Wait, seriously? I thought you knew this?" Mario said

"No wait... It's speaking us through telepathy." Lloyd said.

"You are correct, Lloyd Banning. I am using the power of paint to color your thoughts. I thank you all for saving me, but your work is yet to be finish. As you can see, the other Big Paint Stars are still missing."

"That's true. What happened to you all when I left?" Aoi asked

"I shall show you all by sharing my memories of what has transpirate here. But take heed, it is unpleasant. Please, close your eyes." He requested as they close their eyes.

(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Dark Clouds Gather)

A Familiar figure was covered in black paint was scene as the Big Paint Stars were panicking as Bowser and Mona were on the floor, shock in horror in their eyes.

"Hehehehe." The Figure let out an evil grin with his eyes glowing yellow and then aimed his hand for Telekinesis the Big Paint Stars and then slammed them hard on the ground. "HAHAHAHAHA!" Then it it raises them, crushing them, causing them look of anguish until Mona gathers magical energy and send magic circles to the Big Paint Stars and then swing her arms to scatter them away.

(BGM ended)


Everyone open their eyes.

"D-Did we all saw that?!" Elie asked in shock.

"Yeah. It show us its memory." Tio nodded. "But who was that figure that was crushing the Big Paint Stars? His voice sound familiar..."

"That voice... that appearance..." Mario grimaced

"How awful! I've never seen such wanton disregard for paint!" Huey growled. "But at least we know what happened to the other Paint Stars. That girl used magic to save them. Whoever that horrible monster was crying to destroy the Big Paint Stars!"

"Yes, we have been scattered far and wide thanks to that mage's brave act. But because of that, it prevented us from supplying the fountainand our worldwith life-giving paint. That man intention was to destroy us if it weren't for that mage. There is hope, however! Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, SSS and Aoi... if you can find the remaining Big Paint Stars, the fountain can be restored. Good luck, and let the paint be your guide." The Red Big Paint Star plead.

"Understood!" Lloyd nodded. "We'll restore Prisma Fountain to its glory for everyone to once again enjoy the beauty that comes with it."

"Thanks, Lloyd, and everyone else. That means a lot to me as it does to the Big Paint Star." Huey smiled

"Hehahahahahaha!" A laugh crackled spooked everyone. "Well, well, well. It seems like has return to this pitiful land of paint. And I know who is to blame."

"That voice...!" Peach gasped as they all turned up and see the same figure who was in the Paint Star's memory on top of the building sitting down with his elbow pressed to his knees and hand resting on his chin.

(Trails into Reverie ost - Zero Encounter)

"Chaos Rean!" Mario took his stand. "It was you after all who attack the Big Paint Stars!"

Chaos Rean's appearance was slightly altered as most of his clothes is covered in black paint but his face is not.

"We meet again, Super Mario. And of course, the Cowardly Luigi and the weak princess of the Mushroom Kingdom who always gets kidnapped by Bowser." Chaos Rean taught.

"Hey! I resented that!" Peach growled.

"And of course, if it isn't the SSS of Crossbell. Lloyd Banning and his ridiculous band of order. Order is the opposite of chaos. But I am surprised about one thing. I expected that Rean Schwarzer would be among you when I had that letter sent to that Princess. But instead, you brought the enemies of chaos with you. And I despise those who follow laws and order."

"So the letter was your doing!"

"I heard what you done with the Stricker Fest. And here you are, causing another set of trouble." Lloyd glared. "I haven't seen you since our time in Flipside. What are you planning Chaos Rean?"

Chaos Rean raised an eyebrow. "It seems I overestimated you "detective". I thought you would be smart enough to guess by now. But guess you're not Batman or any of those more intelligent like the Pretty Boy Detective Club, or Naoto Shiragane. You're a fraud, aren't you?"

"Excuse me?!"

"How dare you slander Lloyd! He is a great detective!" Elie yelled

Chaos Rean let out a mocking laugh. "Ha! Aww, your big-chested girlfriend is defending you. I should expected that you were also weak to defend yourself."

"Ah!" Elie covered her chest as she glare.

"Say what you will about me, but leave my Elie out of this, that involves my friends." Lloyd glared.

"Aww, now look who's being a man now. Either way, I don't give a shit, I can insult your friends any way I like." Chaos Rean dark grin. "But enough pleasantries. You should have already guess right now, otherwise, I would suggest you change your career "detective"."

"Well, it's no different for what you done back during the Stricker Fest. It involves your revenge, doesn't it? And it involves paint."

"And give the man a cookie. So you DO have some brain in yours. Paint is the essence of life apparently. Well here in this paper universe of ours. After all, you saw it yourself when all the Toads, humans, Pokemon were all drained of their colors, leaving them lifeless. Although their presence and their souls still intact within their paper bodies, they are unable to move as if they are stuck in Limbo, until their papers are shredded." Chaos Rean dark smirks and then close his eyes.

"What?! You're saying you already shredded innnoent people when they were drain of their colors?!" Huey yelled

"Is that a talking paint can?" Chaos Rean blinked before giving a disappointed look. "First it's a talking crown and now a bucket. Whatever, I've already disposed of a couple."

"You fiend!"

"I see you reclaim that Red Paint Star. It seems Morton has failed. Disappointing. He will be punished."

"What are you going to do with Morton? Don't tell me you're using Bowser's Army again! Where's Bowser? And where's Mona? There's no way they will let you take control of his army!" Mario asked

"I thought they're your enemies, not your friends." Chaos Rean rolled his eyes. "But to answer your question, yes. I am using that Koopa's army again. I do require minions to do the work after all. As for Bowser and Mona... well... I'll leave that to your imagination." Chaos Rean got back on his feet. "I have a present for you all. One that will destroy you entirely. Be sure to witness it for yourselves. If not. Then I will double the surprise." Then he teleported away.

(BGM ended)

"Who was that man! He had evil all over him!" Huey yelled

"Chaos Rean. An evil doppelganger of our friend." Lloyd answered. "A very dangerous man we must defeat."

"Something must have happened to both Bowser and Mona. There's no way they would allow Chaos Rean to take control of Bowser's army." Peach stated

"Right. He's no doubt the villain behind what's going on on Prism Island and is using Bowser's Army once more." Luigi nodded. "But why is he draining the colors? And what does he mean by surprise?"

"I don't know but..." KeA rub her shoulder. "I really got a bad feeling about it. I don't like it if it's enough to scare me."

"Yeah, we know what kind of psycho he is." Randy nodded.

"Come on, we got to find the other Big Paint Stars and come up with the plan to stop him." Tio said.

"Right. Everyone, let's head to that place the Big Paint Star open the path for us." Lloyd said.

"Right!" They nodded and take off.


Sunglow Ridge...

(Paper Mario: Color Splash ost - Sunglow Ridge)

"Oh hey, this is the bridge that the Big Paint Star painted!" Luigi said "It's back to normal it seems."

"Didn't we also saw a Toad here too? Where did he go?" Mario look around.

"Maybe he took off to his captain?" Peach shrug. "Well the bright side is now we can cross the gate."

"Yep. The Scarlet Gate is good as new. Come on, let's go." Huey nodded and they take off. "So this Chaos Rean is an evil doppelganger of your friend?"

"Yeah. He's a Chaos Heart. A powerful force of destruction that can destroy worlds. Even the universe. A villain name Count Bleck use it destroy the universe because he lost the love of his life and now he wants to make the universe pay."

"What?! That's awful! I can understand love can have its ups and down but to think he would go so far. You guys managed to defeat him, right?"

"We did. And we also reunited his love who taken a new form. However, the true villain, Dimentio took control over the Chaos Rean, using both Luigi and Rean in the progress."

Huey turn to Luigi. "Even you?"

"Not my fine moment..." Luigi muttered as they spotted a Colorless Toads on the tree, knock him down and repainted him.

"Whoohoo! I'm back baby!" The Toad cheered and take off.

"Now where we were?" Peach asked as they continue and then found another Toad who was colorless and remained him as he takes off. "Oh right! After he was reveal, he use the Chaos Heart to possess Rean who was prophesized to become one with the Chaos Heart due to his curse fate by the Ebon Knight."

"Who's the Ebon Knight?" Huey asked.

"The evil mastermind who causes so much harm to Erebonia through its curse." Mario answered as they found the Unfured Block and return to hit the Unfured Tree and form into a bridge. "Many bloodshed happen to Erebonia. I heard they massacred their own people because of the curse."

"Whaaaaat?! How vile! How horritifc!"

"Yes. It was a shock. After that, Dimentio manipulated Rean and then cause darkness in his heart to surfaced, which allow the Chaos Heart to take control over him, becoming Chaos Rean. He's the embodiment of chaos and evil who inherited his memories and skills in battle. We were going to lose against such a legendary power until the power of love from the Pure Hearts overwhelmed the chaos and separated Rean and the Chaos Heart all together. Because of that we defeated both Dimentio and Chaos Rean who became his own person thanks to Dimentio granted him a conscious." Peach explain.

"He cause much harm to the world if we keep allowing him to escape. Like he did with the Sticker Fest." Mario said. "He use Bowser's Army as he is using now. But he was using the Royal Strickers to control him. Bowser hates Chaos Rean for what he done to him and for trying to kill Junior, his son."

"I can understand that, but how is he controlling Bowser's Army?" Huey asked.

"That's what I wanna know." Luigi said.

(BGM ended)

"Wait..." Aoi stopped moving. "Something is not right here. It's quiet... too quiet."

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Dark Shadow or Trails through Daybreak ost - A Chilly Tune)

"Huh?" Randy blinked as he look around. "Hey, yeah... somethin' ain't right..."

"I don't sense any presence here... or birds for that matter." Lloyd said.

"Yeah, I got that feeling too." Huey said "The last time I felt this way was when I caught someone mixing eggshell and flat paints!"

"Eggshell and flat paint?" KeA tilt her head as Jigglypuff look off.

"Jigggly!" Jigglypuff wagging her little arms in panicked.

"Jigglypuff, what's wrong?" KeA asked as Jigglypuff pointed to the direction in the sky as a Bazai Bull in the distant, aiming somewhere in Sunglow Ridge. It exploded, causing a black skull and a strong wind blow on everyone's way.

"Whoa!" Aoi shield himself with his arms and everyone else

"Jiggleeeeeeeee!" Jigglepuff was knock into the air.

"Jigglypuff!" KeA yelled

"Serperior, catch Jigglypuff with VIne Whip!" Aoi toss his Pokeball and came out Serperior.

"Ser!" Serperior spout vines and then reach to grabbed Jigglypuff and pull her back down as the wind dissipated.

"Thanks, Aoi!" KeA cheered

"That was a Banzil Bill!" Mario exclaimed.

"Aren't those powerful missiles by the Koopa Army?" Randy asked

"Yes, but let's hurry and see where it was shot!" Peach said as they take off running.

They run around the path, fixing colorless spots, fixing the Road ahead of them. They found a colorless Toad and restore him and resume.

"Something smells TERRIBLE here! It's like making paint with... stinker paint... or something!" Huey said

"It must be closeby to the area where it exploded." Lloyd said, going up the ramp that fell on them.

"Augh! God damn it! We gotta find another way." Rany grumbled.

"Serperior, I'll give you a boost and then you can pull us up." Aoi said

"Ser!" Serperior nodded as Aoi pick up Serperior and toss him to the cliff and then use Vine whip to grabbed each of everyone.

"Nice! Let's go!" Tio said as they take of until they reached an area filled with black paint.

(BGM ended)

"Mama Mia!" Mario yelled.

(Paper Mario: Color Splash ost - Roy Black Battle)

"OH GREAT STARS! THIS IS WORSE THAN I EVER COULD HAVE IMAGINE!" Huey yelled. "Everything has been painted black!"

"A Banzill Bill did this? But normally they would cause some crater, not this." Mario said

"E-Everyone, I got this really bad feeling about this paint..." KeA shivered.

"The Black Paint, right?" Lloyd asked as he begin to step, but the moment he did, his feet, his feet was sizzling. "Aaaaugh!" He fell on his back

"Lloyd!" Elie yelled

"Aaugh... it hurts..." Lloyd grabbed his feet. "It hurt really bad...!"

"Be careful, Lloyd! You shouldn't touch the Black Paint!" Huey exclaimed. "The Black Paint is beyond toxic, anything it touches is extremely painful!"

"What?! Why didn't you warn us earlier?!" Randy complained

"You're right, I'm sorry. I should have said something sooner..."

"So this is what Chaos Rean meant by present..." Lloyd clench his teeth.

"W-Wait, but wasn't he wearing Black Paint?" Peach asked. "Why didn't it hurt him too?"

"Oh yeah, you're right! How can that be?" Luigi shivered.

"He must be capable of harness this black paints power..." Tio grimaced. "You don't think..."

"Yeah... he plans to destroy the world with Black Paint..." Lloyd muttered

"That psychopath...!" Randy shout.

"We can't let him create more black paint!" Elie stated.

"Right." Lloyd nodded as Peach use Cura to heal him. "Thank you, Princess." He got back on his feet and pulled out his ARCUS Alpha and take pictures. "We need to let the world know the danger of this black paint. Chaos Rean will plan to use more of those Banzil Bill to not just Prism Island but the whole world if they don't know the danger."

"You're right. I'll contact Palutena and the others. But we also need a video record about the black paint can do." Peach said.

"You're right. Then allow me." Mario said

"What?! But Bro!" Luigi exclaimed.

"We got to show our friends more proof about the Black Paint, if we don't Chaos Rean will kill millions with it."

"Mario..." Peach muttered.

"I'll be okay, I'll just take a step, please record it." Mario said as Peach nodded, then hit record on the camera as Mario step on it, causing his feet to fizzle. "Aaahahahaow!" He fell on his back as Peach look around to record more of the Black Paint and then finished.

"Heal!" Peach cast Cura again on Mario and heal him.

"Ooh..."

"Okay, Lloyd, I got the video." Peach said

"I've taken enough pictures as well. I'll sent you a copy and then I'll send them to Rixia and the others, I'll entrust Liberl, Erebonia to you."

"Got it! I'll do the same with the video." Peach nodded as they began to sent the video and photos and then contacted them. "Hello, Palutena! Did you got my message?"

"Rixia, get the word out to Noel and the others. I just send you pictures and video about Black Paint."

"Everyone is going their best... I gotta help too." Huey said.

(BGM ended)

"Um... Can I ask you all a favor?" Huey said. "Can you guys... either close your eyes or leave the area?"

"Huh? Why?" KeA asked

"It's rather embarrassing."

"Okay...?" Elie said as they all turn around and close their eyes.

"Okay, we close our eyes so—"

*Slurping*

"Open, you can open your eyes and turn around." Huey said as they turn around and see the Black Paint is gone.

"The Black Paint is gone!" KeA said. "How did you do that?"

"Err... you don't want to know. Now let's never speak of this again."

"Okay, later Rixia." Lloyd said as he hang on.

"Later Palutena." Peach said as they hang up.

"Glad to see you're all ready. Come on, let's head to that Mini Paint star over there." Huey said as they nodded and take off.

They found the Unfurd Block and then hit the bridge as it forms. They made their way to the Mini Paint Star and grabbed it.


Meanwhile...

(Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep ost - Xehanort)

"So you succeeded sending the Black Paint bomb?" Chaos Rean, sitting on the Koopa Throne with his hand restong his left cheek and elbow resting on the throne.

"Y-Yes sir. The Black Paint has been spilled in Sunglow Ridge." The Pegasus Knight answered.

"Excellent. Were there any life in the area?"

"No, My Lord. Just... the surrounding nater."

"No matter. What matters that the bomb was a success. Begin mass production."

"A-As you wish..." The Pegasus Knight got back on her feet and take off as the throne room door closes.

"You diabolical bastard!" A voice yelled as Chaos Rean glance his eyes as the camera move to the left, revealing Bowser, Mona, and Junior were in cages of dark powers. "You're going to pay for this and using my army! When I bet out of here! I will destroy you!"

"Oh, I'm shaking in my books. Hmhmhm~" Chaos Rean dark chuckled sarcastically. "I'm afraid for you, that astrologist and your son will not be able to break the cage so easily. Even if you could, I can easily kill you."

"That richs coming from the demon who got beaten twice!"

"A minor setback. Things will be different this time. The power of the black paint can be molded into anything I desire. Sapping away your color means I can sap away your life. And we both you wouldn't want to risk your soldiers, your son, and your subordinates." Chaos Rean dark grin.

"Grrr!" Bowser growled.

"This cage won't hold us forever! We won't let you use the backup castle as a factory either!" Junior said.

"And you will never find Crow." Mona added

"It will only be a matter of time until I find him. I'll be more than glad to use the people he cherished as hostages. A Pity he took his wife with him when he escape. But I can go after his relatives or friends." Chaos Rean said

"You wouldn't dare...!"

"Oh I would. But first." Chaos Rean snapped his finger and a portal pop up from above and Morton fell on the ground.

"Morton!" Junior yelled.

"Oough..." Morton got back on his feet. "MORTON OKAY." Morton then see Bowser, Mona and Junior on the cage. "MASTER BOWSER! MASTER JUNIOR! MONA! YOU OKAY?!"

"We're good! But Morton, run!" Mona yelled

"Oh I'm afraid that's not possible." Chaos Rean snapped his finger and a barrier appeared on the door. "You disappointed me, Morton. I gave you a simple job and you fail. You will be punished."

"WHAT EVIL MAN DO?" Morton brought out his hammer. "MORTON WILL FIGHT BACK!"

"Cute." Chaos Rean eyes flashes and gravity pin Morton down.

"Nnugh!" He groaned as Chaos Rean approached.

"What are you doing?!" Bowser yelled

"I have no use for useless pawns." Chaos Rean aim his hand. "Goodbye Morton." Chaos Rean dark grin as the Screen turn back.

Something liquid-like sound burst out.

"RAAAAAAAAAAUGH!" Morton screamed

"MORTOOOOOON!" Bowser, Junior and Mona yelled in horror.


Black Paint, and evil toxic form of paint. What did Chaos Rean do?

Oh did you guys saw the live screams of Kai no Kiseki?! SO MUCH WAS GOING ON! But. I will not spoil and say anything else then that. I will keep my word to myself. Ooh I hope this game comes out sooner after Daybreak...
