(Trails Through Daybreak ost - Back Alley Sign)

"All right, where to begin. First, let us welcome our paper counterparts who came to this side of the universe. I'm sure everyone must be rather shocked after what happened." Peach said.

"Of course. The last thing I remember was I was attending a meeting in the Reinford Conference for our next step until all of a sudden, me and everyone in it was being pulled away." Paper Alisa said.

"I remember teaching some music lessons back at St. Astraia with all of the sudden, here I am. But I remember walking to St. Astraia and every student was completely... different." Paper Elliot said.

"And then everyone met each other somehow and this was a lot more confusing than expected." Paper Levi scratch the back of his head.

"Yeah. But at least we know what's going on, right?" Levi asked.

"Yes. It's all thanks to this." Peach pull out a Book and place it on the Conference Table.

"A book?" Olivert asked

"This is the boom you mention, right Princess?" Rean asked.

"The very same book. This Book is actually a portal to another universe, which Professor Von Drake named Paperverse." Peach answered

"Makes sense since we are made of paper and we often break the fourth wall." Paper Alfin agreed.

"Break the 4th—" Levi sweatdrop. "—Actually, this is gonna be one of those shenanigans, isn't it?"

"Well if it wasn't then our lives would have been boring." Fie pointed out.

"You know, I've seen this book back in my castle when Toads and Toadsworth show me. I do remember when I was a little girl that there was a book that contains information from another world now that I think about it." Paper Peach said.

"Huh... My mother used to tell me that when I was young. But it was so long ago that I forgot." Peach said.

"Okay so the question is how do we get back to our world?" Paper Olivert asked.

"We haven't figured that out yet. The Drakes were researching until further notice."

"All right. Then let us discuss the issue involving paper beings. I know many of them are panicked so we must help them remain calm in this new world." Olivert said.

"Well, if I can make a suggestion, why don't we explain the situation involving the magic book?" Sara suggested.

"True. After all, we did come from this book. However, it would be a bad idea if we tell that to the public. Not at least until we figure out a way to return back to our universe. We don't know what dangerous characters might come after the book." Paper Olivert said.

"Yeah..." Rean close his eyes.

"I've know that look. You have something on your mind." Levi said. "What's wrong?"

"I actually have a question to ask all of you in the Paperverse. Do you know happened to know—

(BGM ended)

Suddenly, everyone felt intense bloodlust and powerful presence.

"..!" Rean nearly draw his tachi.

"This bloodlust!" Laura quickly got up.

"I know that bloodlust... It's—"

KABOOOOOOOOOM!


Earlier...

(Paper Mario ost - Koopa Village)

"Holy crap. This is completely... unprecedented." Noel staring at his Paper Counterpart. "But wow. Look at that handsome face~... Even in paper I'm still dashing."

"I can say the same thing to you. But wow! Aren't we handsome devils?" Paper Noel chuckled, causing Chiori and the other girl with their Paper counterparts to sweatdrop.

"That's what you were most interested in? I'm disappointed, Undine." Chiroi pinch her nose. "Since when are you so self-centered?"

"I'm not self-centered!" Noel sulked.

"Keep telling yourself that." Paper Chiori rolled her eyes.

Emblem Arianrhod appeared clearing her throat. "Ahem. Perhaps we should be more concerned about why we are seeing... paper versions of yourselves."

Paper Emblem Arianrhod appeared. "Indeed. The whole world is in a state on confusion. Do you all recall how this happened?"

"Well I did heard something rumbling coming from somewhere when we were all in the shop. It sounded like it came from the northwest. The place I can come up with is Princess Peach's Castle." Chiori replied

"So it's the princess's castle?" The Lavender hair girl asked.

"I can ask the locals and we can discuss it. And since there are six of us here, I'm sure we can get some answers." Noel suggested. "Although..." He turn to the lavender girl." "I AM rather concerned with you. Are you sure you can... control it?"

"I can. Plus Ruan Mei created the device to help further to suppress it." The Lavender girl replied.

"Well so long as both of you have that, then there's nothing to dear." Paper Noel said.


A few minutes later...

"All right, I think we got all the information." Noel rubbing his chin. "You were right, Chiori. It did came from Peach's Castle. But as for how we still haven't gotten a clue. Perhaps we should visit the castle."

"By visit, you mean Infiltrate?" The Paper Lavadner girl asked. "Aren't you friends with the princess?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't exactly mean I'm still trusted since we are part of the society." Paper Noel pointed out.

"So we might as well find answers for ourselves." Paper Chiori folds her arms. "In that case, let's talk about addressing ourselves. Each of us has the same names and characters. So why don't us Paper call ourselves Paper and add our name? As for... possible 3D, we'll just call you regular names."

"That would solve things quickly." Chiori nodded.

"So we're all in an agreement, then?" The lavender hair girl asked.

"Agreed." The Paper lavender-haired girl nodded.

"Hmm..." Noel rub his chin.

"What's up?" Paper Noel aslek

"Oh. I was just thinking about something regarding our paper counterparts. If everyone from your universe was pulled here... Then... could it be—"

(BGM ended)

KABOOOOOM!

"Whoa!" Noel yelled as everyone had an !? over their heads.

"What was that?!" Paper Noele exclaimed.

"Oh no!" A Nearby Toad yelled. "The castle is under attack! It's happening again! Bowser attacking the castle!"

"Everyone in circles!" The other Toad yelled as they started running in circles.

Noel, Chiroi and the lavender hair girl sweatdrop with their counterparts.

"Augh... now of all times! Come on, we gotta head to Peach's Castle." Noel stated as his group nodded and they take off running.


In Peach's Castle...

Everyone was coughing as Venti and his paper counterpart blew he smoke away.

"Who did that?!" Peach asked.

"YOU!" A voice yelled

(Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep ost - Awakened the Darkness)

They all turned as someone barge in was Chaos Rean.

"Chaos Rean!" Both Rean yelled as they readied their Tachi's out.

"THAT'S Chaos Rean!?" Starlow gasped. "He really does look like Rean! But with longer hair in different color and eyes are different too!"

"Oh god damn it! Why are YOU here now?!" Levi complained.

"Wait, you guys know him?" Paper Levi asked.

"Huh? You guys know him too?"

"Of course, we know him. But how do you guys know him?" Paper Rean asked.

"Because Chaos Rean has been terrorizing our world." Rean answered, causing the Paperverse Characters to have an ?! over their heads.

"What?!"

"So I was right." Chaos Rean snarls with his eyes glowing. "Not only did you find that book that led me here, but you even brought EVERYONE into this universe, Rean Schwarzer?! Augh! I don't know how you managed to find me, but you coming here was your greatest mistake!"

"So... I was right." Rean muttered. "Chaos Rean... came from your universe, isn't he, Paper Me?"

"Wait, what?! Chaos Rean came from the paperverse?!" Celine asked.

"We can talk later! Right now, we got bigger things to worry about."

"Oh, indeed." Chaos Rean channeling energy and then throw it forward as to unleash a shockwave toward the group..

"Augh!" Alfin yelled as everyone except Rean and Paper Rean was blown away and then a force field.

"Rean!" Sara yelled.

Chaos Rean snapped his fingers and summon Heartless and Paper Heartless.

"Heartless?!" Paper Cedric summons his Keyblade. "I didn't know he could summon Heartless!"

"Oh, I'll deal with there's of you later. Right now I have a score to settle with the brother of you!" Chaos Rean imbued his Tachi with void energy. "This time, I will not beaten by you again! Here and now!"

Back for Revenge - Chaos Rean

"RAAAUGH!" Chaos Rean roared as he throw Chaos Rean toward the Duo as both of them quickly dodged as Rean dashes toward Chaos Rean and they both clash their swords, then swing at each other.

"Crimson Slash!" Paper Rean throw Fierce Crimson Slash at Chaos Rean but he backflips and then lands on his feet and teleports to Paper Rean to slash him, only to block and parried him.

They both swing at each other until Paper Rean knock Chaos Rean away and then Rean pass him and slash him. Rean used Fierce Helix on Chaos Rean to deal a critical hit, but Chaos Rean recovered to slash Rean and push him away. Chaos Rean summon darkness underneath Rean to bind him, but Paper Rean Arc Slash Chaos Rean and they both swing at each other until both their tachi cloak in flames and void energy.

Rean broke out of the darkness and then imbued his Tachi with fire as he took an Iaijutsu stand. As he waited for the moment. Paper Rean go for a Roundhouse Kick then side kick before throwing a flurry of slashes, but Chaos Rean, dodged his attack and retaliates by grabbing Paper Rean and knee strike his stomach and then punch his face to knock him away. Rean pass through Chaos Rean as trails of slashes stuck all around him.

"Ngh!" Chaos Rean snarl as he turn to slash Rean, but he block it overhead.

Chaos Rean and Rean swing at each other fiercely until the clash their blades at each other, but Rean slash Chaos Rean's arms, then Chaos Rean thrust forward to Rean's face. Rean tilt his head and got a cut on his cheek. Rean grabbed Chaos Rean's arm to pull, then a knee strike his stomach, then headbutted him to stun him then use Fierce Waning Crescent Slash to push him away.

Chaos Rean recovered then he and Rean both swing their Tachi's each other until Paper Rean throw Fierce Crimson Slash that Chaos Rean backflip, then Rean used Arcane Gale to strike him, and push him toward his Paper counterpart, then he unleash a flurry of slashes on him as he pass through him. Chaos Rean recovered to forced a laser beam toward the two but they both quickly split up.

CRASH!

The fight was interrupted as everyone had an !? over their heads as they turn to the source.

"Oh Peaaaaach!" Paper Bowser on his Koopa Clown Car roared.

"Bowser?!" Paper Peach gasped

CRASH!

"Hey!" Bowser roared. "Kidnapping Peach is MY thing copycat!"

"You're the copycat! You're ripping off my style!"

"Grrrrr!"

"BOWSER, THIS IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR SCHENANIGANS!" Mario yelled drawing their attention.

"What!? Mario! Why are you and they here?!" Bowser's palm face. "Just when I was hoping I go back on schedule, you had to be here!"

"Wait, why are there two of you?" Paper Bowser asked

"Never mind that! We got a bigger problem!" Paper Levi pointed to Chaos Rean, causing both Bowsers to have an ! over their heads.

"YOU!" Both Bowsers Roared as both hopped out of their Clown Car and breathed fire toward Chaos Rean.

Chaos Rean form a spinning wheel to block the attack.

"Oh, great. You two are here!" Chaos Rean growled.

"What are you doing here Chaos!?" Paper Bowser roared. "Oh wait, scratched that. I'm Glad you're here. Because now I literally beat you to hell for what you did to my troops!"

"Wait, what did he do to your troops?" Bowser asked

"He used my army while controlling me and he literally DRAIN the life out of my army!"

Bowser had an ?! over his head as he jawdropped and glared at Chaos Rean with multiple cross ticks.

"CHAOS! NOW YOU GONE TOO FAR!"

Chaos Rean rolled his eyes. "Oh please. But they're not common fodders. And they exactly what they deserved."

"RAAAAAAAAR!" Bowser punch Dash toward Chaos Rean and knock him to the wall.

"Augh!" He winched as Bowser grabbed and throw him toward his Paper self as he curl into a spike, spin rapidly to hit Chaos Rean repeatedly, then poped up and punch him to the ground.

Paper Bowser Bowser Bomb, but Chaos Rean backflip to slash him, but he used his arms to shield himself then breath fire as Chaos Rean cartwheel to the left until Paper Rean jump and form a spinning wheel to clash his tachi over Chaos Rean as he block it. Paper Rean jump away and then Bowser Shoulder Bash Chaos Rean and Rean used Arcane Gale to push him away.

"Enough with pushing me around!" Chaos Rean recovered as he glared until he got stabbed in the chest. "Nngh!?"

"Then how about stabbing you?" Noel asked, giving a death glare.

"Are you fucken kidding me?"

"Nope!" Paper Noel appeared from behind and summon water blades to impale Chaos Rean.

"Aaaaaugh!" Chaos Rean yelled in pain as he unleashed a shockwave to push and his blade away. "Grr! Screw this! I'll be back to kill you all!" Chaos Rean teleported away.

(BGM ended)

Cedric swing and killed the final Heartless. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, we're good." Juna sighed. "Just what we needed."

"Your Highiness, are you all right?" Kurt turn to Paper Cedric.

"I'm perfectly fine Kurt." Paper Cedric made his Keyblade disappear. "I can handle a few Heartless here and there."

"I see..."

"Wait, Cedric?" Noel blinked. "What are you— Oh wait, that's Paper Cedric. I'm surprised he still has that uniform of Thors. I thought he throw his out."

"Huh? What do you mean thrown out?" Paper Noel asked

"Yeah, what's what I want to know too. Why would he throw his student uniform away if he's a student of Thors?" Paper Kurt asked.

Noel blinked. "Wait, Your Cedric is STILL a student of Thors? He's not an Enforcer?"

"What do you mean Enforcer? Wait, you mean I joined the society?" Paper Cedric asked in shock.

"Okay, okay hoooold on!" Starlow called out as they all turn to her. "I think there is something different between our two universes."

"Yeah." Rean nodded in agreement as he sheath his Tachi. "I remember Chaos Rean told us that in his universe, the Great Twilight never happened after he killed Ishemelga. I think we should tell them about Chaos Rean."

"Yeah. You said he threaten your universe, right? What do you mean by that?" Paper Rean asked

"It's a long story..." Emma sighed


One long explanation later...

(Trails into Reverie ost - Lapis)

"What?" Paper Rean gasped in horror with the other Paper characters. "Chaos Rean did all of that?"

"Elysium... Singularity..." Paper Alisa trailed off. "It's unbelievable that something from Professor Epstein theorized would come here... Wait... doesn't that mean Elysium is also in this world?"

"I don't know. But this is unbelievable..." Paper Emma muttered.

"I was wondering why Chaos Rean has gotten quiet for awhile..." Paper Levi muttered. "But to think he came into your universe and begin... this. It's unbelievable. I know he hates us but for him to go that far? That's extreme! Even for him!"

Paper Rean looking down, letting out an exasperated and look at the 3D Main. "Everyone, I owe you an apology."

"What for?" Rean asked

"About Chaos Rean. And the danger he poses has done to your world." Paper Rean rubs his arm. "I'm the reason why Chaos Rean exists. All because of my weaknesses. The... weakness the Dimentio of my universe took advantage of. The incident with the Chaos Heart... how it destroyed worlds... a power beyond Rosalina's capabilities to save it compared to the black hole. If only I hadn't succumbed to Dimentio's mind games... using truths and how much I wanted to protect all worlds... protecting my loved ones..., and realizing the dark truth about the heart within me. My Father's Heart... Ishmelga's plan. None of this would have happened."

"Rean..." Paper Alisa muttered.

"Because of my own tendency... how I witnessed the Void consume and destroy Sthe ammer Kingdom. I wouldn't have succumbed to the darkness within my heart... and the Chaos Heart possesses me... giving Birth to Chaos Rean." Paper Rean looks at his hands. "And even after we defeated him, I... no... we never thought he would end up traveling across universes and cause the incident like you all face. He should have been our problem. Not yours. For that." He apology bow. "I can't apologize for the chaos he has done to your world."

Rean place his hand to the latter's shoulder. "No... It isn't your fault. No one expected this would happen. Dimentio is one crafty bastard. If I was in your choose... I would most likely done the same."

"Rean..." Levi muttered then sigh. "Okay. Let's compare to your universe. Tell us how this happened in your universe?"

"Well... okay." Paper Levi nodded


Another long explanation later...

"Count Bleck... Chaos Heart..." Mario rub his chin. "Oh yeah. This is one of many possibilities history could have taken like Lloyd said for the Azure Tree."

"Indeed... And... we can now understand how very different our universe is to yours." Paper Olivert nodded. "Like Cedric..."

They all turn to Paper Cedric who staring in disbelief

"So... the "me" of this world... join the society after the Great Twilight?" Paper Cedric said dumbfounded. "Then... " He turn to the 3D Main. "That's why... you're..." He turn to 3D Main Kurt. "Kurt, I..."

Paper Kurt grit his teeth.

"It's... okay. I'm... just glad that... you... had the life you wanted." Kurt said smiling, but behind that he's sad.

"Kurt..." Juna is saddened as she holds her boyfriend's hand.

"Maybe... I should... find somewhere else to be. My presence clearly causes some... discomfort for you all." Cedric muttered

"No, Your Highness! Think It's nothing of the sort." Jusis said. "While... it's shame that you could not meet your counterpart here in this world. It is a relief to see you are still here with in."

"Yeah, so don't worry about that. Besides, it sounds like you were so cool!" Millium agreed.

"Thank you for your kind words." Paper Cedric trailed off.

"So... Wanna talk about how Chaos Rean took over Bowser's Minions?" Fie asked

"Oh, I'll tell you myself." Paper Bowser muttered


Another explanation later...

"So that's what happened..." Millium trailed off. "Sticker Star, Port Prism... Wait, those things exist here in this world, right?"

"Yes. The Sticker Festival is where we celebrate the Sticker Comet that pass over the Mushroom Kingdom every year." Peach nodded. "As for Port Prism? I just look it up and it is the origin where all the paints supplies here in the Mushroom Kingdom. But I never knew that our blood is replaced with paint in the Paper universe."

"Yeah. Two different universes... two different outcomes." Fie nodded. "But..." She turn to Paper Fie. "Hey... Fie."

"Hm?" Paper Fie turn to her.

"I've... heard from Chaos Rean's own lips... he... killed the boss... our dad, right?"

"Fie..." Emma sadden

Paper Fie lower her head as she clenched her fist. "Yeah... I remember Xeno and Leo told me the news..."


Flashback...

"No..." Paper Fie gasped in horror as she staring at the call.

"We're... so sorry Kido." Paper Xeno lowers his head in his head. "We couldn't stop him... we couldn't save the boss..."

"No amount of apology could earn your forgiveness that we couldn't protect the boss. I know this hurts you more than it hurts us." Leo muttered

"N-No... It's okay... You did your best." Paper Fie said tearfully. "I... I need some time to be alone."


End of Flashback...

"I could never forgive him for what he did to the boss... I... I never even got to see him say his goodbye... unlike you... right?" Paper Fie sadden

Fie lower her head.

"It's... the same for me too..." Paper Rean sadden. "I've never known my Father's true intention. But... it turns out... he play to be the villain. I've... found his diary after his death. He told me much of his times when he was force to cast his humanity in order to find a way to kill Ishmelga. I've... never got the chance to see my own father... one last time like you did, Right Rean?"

"Yeah..." Rean sadden. "I'm... so sorry... I... brought up a sensitive topic."

"No... I also brought it up, Rean. I should be the one they should be upset about." Fie stated

"No. Both of you didn't do anything wrong." Paper Fie shook his head. "While... I am jealous that you guys managed to say your final goodbyes to your Fathers... I can't say the same for Kurt regarding Cedric."

"Wait." Noel spoked. "If the Great Twilight never happened in the Paper universe... then... that means... Mother is still alive in your universe... isn't she?" He turn to Paper Noel.

"Looks like it." Paper Noel rubbed his arm as both Arianrhods closed their eyes.

"*sigh*" Noel turn to the others. "Okay. So... how did all of you paper characters end of in this universe?"

"Oh. It's because of this." Peach pull the Book.

"Because of that?"

"Turns out this book is a portal to another universe. That's where we came from." Paper Peach explained.

"So that explains it. Wait, but why did it suddenly burst everyone?" Noel asked

"Blame Huey for that."

"Oh come on! How was I supposed to know it would do that?!" Huey in the background yelled.

"Wait a second, why are YOU here, Noel?" Machias asked.

"Investigate why there are paper versions of us. Literally everyone is trying to look into it. Especially since all the paper characters literally came from Peach's Castle." Noel answered

"It is pretty obvious." Chiori said.

"Wait, who are you guys?" Paper Machias asked

"Oh, this is Chiori. She's a seamstress." Noel introduce. "And the girl with the lavender hair is a friend of mine. Castorice."

"Hello." Castorice greeted.

"I see. Are you guys from the society too?" Gaius asked

"You are correct. But rest assured we not here to cause harm." Paper Castorice replied "We were just having a normal day with friends and colleagues and here we are."

"Even we have lives you know." Paper Noel added

Machias sweatdrop. "Riiight..."

(BGM ended)

"So... you guys wanna continue what you were doing or..." Noel asked

An ! appeared over Bowser's Head.

"Oh right! I nearly forgot." Bowser turn to Peach.

(Mario and Luigi Paper Jam ost - Bowser's Coming!)

Bowser then dash toward Peach and grabbed her as Paper Bowser grabbed Peach and both of them jump in their Koopa Clown Car.

"Hey!" Mario yelled as he and Luigi jump to save Peach but both of them move away.

"Sorry, not sorry plumbers! It's about time I start kidnapping Peach and take over the Mushroom Kingdom! And now with the two of us! We're unstoppable with our improved armies!" Bowser smirked.

"I thought you said you don't work with anyone?" Alfin asked.

"I'm working with myself, so it doesn't count!"

"Does it really?" Paper Alfin asked

"Who cares! See you later losers!" Paper Bowser laughed as he and Bowser took off.

(BGM ended)

"Get back here you big Koopa!" Mario yelled as he and Luigi with their paper counterparts took off.

"Waaaaait!" A voice yelled to stop the Bros as everyone turned to see the Toad running to them. "Phew, I got up with you guys before you go and rescue the Princess. First, take this!" He tossing a cardboard box for Paper Mario as he caught it.

"What's this?" Paper Mario asked

"Something the Paper Toads crafted that can help you in battle. Any of the Paper characters can use it as they wish."

"Okay. Guess we'll be going then." Rean nodded.

"Then I shall stay here and assist Toadsworth before turning to Erebonia." Olivert said.

"Oh! I wanna help Peach. I've gotten better with magic and battle. Besides, I can't afford to be rusty!" Alfin said.

"Same goes for me! Who knows. you might need a Keyblade wielder." Paper Cedric said.

"You just want an adventure, do you?" Paper Alfin asked with a tease.

"Duh. Oh, but that is... if any of you are okay with this..."

"What do you say guys?" Rean turn to the others.

"I'm down." Levi said. "But I'm worried about Kurt."

"I-I'm fine. I appreciate you thinking of me. But don't worry." Kurt place his hand over his chest. "While he may not be my Prince Cedric, he's still the same person I know and respect. I will find the real Cedric someday. But right now, I am a Vander and I will protect the Imperial Family."

"All right, then Let's-a-go!" Mario declared as they take off.

"Okay... got everything I need." Noel as he takes off.


Later...

"And that's Noel's report." Campanella report along with Paper Campanella. "Well, Noel, along with Chiori and Castorice

(Genshin Impact ost - Benevolence Bequeathed)

"I see..." The First Anguis mused as he, along with the Grandmaster along with their Paper Counterparts are also presence, except for Jingliu and Paper Arianrhod.

The Fourth Anguis sighed. "My goodness. How come every time when something interesting going on, it's Noel who always has the answers."

"I know right? Clearly that boy is like the main gospeller of the society or a magnet to gain some interesting news." The Paper Fourth Anguis agreed. "It must be because of his fishes who are split everywhere to gather intel or something."

"Nonetheless, thanks to Noel, we now learn that our paper counterpart's returning to their universe resides within that book. And all the information he gain also aligns with what my Counterpart discussed with me." The Grandmaster said.

"Yes. Both of our universes are different. In more ways than one." The Paper Grandmater agreed. "In this universe we are in, Cedric is an Enforcer. While the young prince in my universe is not. And the Steel Maiden of this universe has departed this world. While my Steel Maiden did not."

"My goodness, I didn't expect such an interesting discovery." Novartis mused. "Especially having another me!"

"Indeed my 3D self! Can you imagine the teamwork we can accomplish?!" Paper Novartis asked. "We will become unstoppable!"

"My, the professor is certainly wild up, isn't it?" Mairabell asked

"Wel can't you blame him? I mean meeting another version of him, it's quite unorthodox." Paper Mariabell agreed. "But he does bring up something very interesting. The fact that there are 3D versions of you all gather together here means we also double the power."

"That's true!" Campanella agreed. "Ouroboros is twice as strong now. And Noel mentions the Koopa King Team up with his Paper Counterpart and is going back to their shenanigans with kidnapping Princess Peach."

"While as fun as that is, we still have a big problem we need to discuss." Paper Campanella pointed out. "Chaos Rean."

"Indeed." Paper Grandmaster agreed. "Because of entity, the Phantasmal Blaze Plan cannot continue onward. The seventh Divine Knight Ishmelga has been destroyed completely. The others, Vermillion, Argent, and Paladinate Knight were absorbed and added their power to his."

"But Ragna used his powers to sent their souls free, according to both Noel and Tartaglia. But setting their souls free must be different compare to power." Campanella said.

"Whatever the case, Chaos Rean is still a threat to both universes. Since Chaos Rean came from our Universe. We must prepare to defeat him." The Paper First Anguis stated.

"That's true. And thanks to the revelation of which universe he came from, we can now prepare an attack." The First Anguis said. "Can you tell us how can we beat him?"

"Chaos Rean has weaknesses involving love." The Paper Grandmaster said

"Love?" The Grandmaster asked.

"I shall explain. Back in my universe with the incident with Count Bleck, an ancient tribe called the Tribe of Ancient. An ancient yet highly advanced civilization with great intelligence and immense magical powers that created powerful artifacts called Pure Heart."

"Pure Hearts?"

"Yes. This will sound far-fetched and absurd, but the tribes are beloved in the power of love. Unlike their counterparts called the Tribe of Darkness. It was them who possess a book of prophecy called the Dark Prognosticus. The Tribe of Ancients created their own version and dub it the Light Prognosticus. They foresaw all the events that would lead to the Chaos Heart's summon and Chaos Rean's birth. So counter this, they created the Pure Hearts by using the power of love. It was this force that it was power enough to save all worlds from destruction."

"So they used love?" The Four Anguis asked. "That really is far-fetched."

"But I'm afraid this is all real." Paper Campanella said. "We witness it ourselves."

"Then how are we going to create the Pure Hearts?" Vita asked.

"Considering this is magic we're talking about. Perhaps we should visit this universe's Flipside and gather the pure hearts or we can create one from scratched." Paper Vita suggested.

"What do you think, Grandmasters?" The First Anguis asked.

"We have tried to recreate the Pure Hearts... But the first experiment was unsuccessful." The Paper Grandmaster admit. "There is something I lack it seems."

"Hmm..." The Grandmaster rubs her chin. "Then let us discuss what is our best choice of action."

"Grandmasters, if I may." Paper Vita raised her hand. "I have an idea how we can replicate the Pure Hearts with "love"."


Meanwhile...

(BGM ended)

"Waaait a minute!" Daisy yelled as she and the others stop. "What are we doing right now. We should be focusing on defeating Chaos Rean! He's more of a problem then Bowser, isn't he?"

"Yeah, I have to agree." Daisy agreed. "Besides, we know how to beat him too. We done it before and we can do it again."

"Oh!" Alisa palm fist. "That's right! I knew we forgot to ask you guys before He and Bowsers shows up."

"Right! Can you tell us how we can beat Chaos Rean?" Rean asked.

"Of course." Paper Rean nodded. "Love."

The 3D Verse characters blinked.

(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Arcade Code)

"Did you say love?" Machias asked.

"That's right. But let us explain." Paper Machias said. "You recalled what we talk about right with Count Bleck? We team up with the society at the time because what he did pose a threat to all existence."

"Yeah. We learn that the eight pure hearts was powerful enough to save all the world." Paper Elliot nodded.

"It sounds far-fetched, true, but those are all facts from what we've been through." Paper Celine said.

"Right. The Tribes of Ancient created the Pure Hearts through love." Paper Emma nodded.

"So tell us, when you managed to defeat Chaos Rean, did you pour your feelings into your weapons?" Paper Alisa asked

"Ah!" Rean gasped as he recalled how he slash Chaos Rean, leaving him the mark, and making him vulnerable. "That's right... that mark I gave him."

Then Class VII, and Alfin had an ! over their heads.

"Oh! That's right! He felt completely weak to that!" Levi said

"I remember putting my anger into my tachi. But it isn't just anger. That I wanted to protect the people I love from him." Rean look at his hand. "So it's "love" gave him that scar."

"But love isn't the only weapon he's also vulnerable too." Paper Cedric said. "He's also vulnerable to the Keyblade too."

"Even the Keyblade?" Kurt asked in surprised

"Makes sense. Keyblade is connected to hearts, right?" Ash asked

"Aww, I see." Venti rub his chin. "In that case, let's gather allies and met up with Bowser. If we win, we can at least destroy Chaos Rean."

"Yes. Given everything he's done. We must defeat him at all cost." Altina agreed.

"Yeah! Let's get our friends in this too!" Juna agreed.

"All right. I'll contact Crow." Crow said.

"I'll call mine too!" Paper Rean nodded.

"Okay! Let's call everyone else!" Mario said as they pull out their ARCUS Alpha.

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile in Bowser's Castle...

(Mario and Luigi Paper Jam ost - Mysterious Bowser's Castle)

"All right, Peach. Now be good princesses and wait here until I'm back, okay?" Bowser smirked as he and Paper Bowser take off.

Peach sighed. "Seriously Bowser. Is kidnapping me a good time?"

"I know. We should be more focus on Chaos Rean." Paper Peach agreed. "I was wondering what happened to him since he's gone silent, but to think he would unleash Elysium and go so... So much deceit and destruction. How awful..."

"Well, the good thing is that he didn't take our ARCUS units. Why don't we place something while we wait."

"Sounds like a good idea." Paper Peach nodded


Meanwhile...

"Really?" Crow asked in his call. "Well, I'll be. All right, I'll talk to the big Guy. In the mean time, you gather everyone. Knowing he hated Chaos Rean even more now, we'll definitely kick his ass for good. Okay, later." He hang up. "Damn, who knew love was the guy's weakness."

"Yep. So now we gotta talk to Bowser. Since we got more important things than conquest right now. Plus my Bowser wants revenge against him." Paper Crow said.

"Yeah. Okay, let's called Bowser or at least find him as we walk. Actually, better call everyone else too." Crow said as they walk and then go for the group called. "Yo, everyone. We gotta talk. It's about Chaos Rean."

"Ah, yes. Bowser told us he and Paper Bowser encounter him back in Peach's Castle." Mona said. "I honestly can't believe that he's up to no good again."

"Right. We should be more focus on dealing with him. Speaking off, where is our boss?" Paper Mona asked

"Lord Bowser is esorting the princesses to their chambers." Kamek answered. "In the meantime, my paper self will be heading elsewhere."

"Actually, hold that off Kamek. And Paper Kamek too. Listen, we should be more focus on taking down Chaos Rean and I need the big guy here." Crow said.

"What is it Crow?" Bowser and his Paper self join the call.

"Ah, good! Big Guy. Listen, we need to get rid of Chaos Rean. We should be more focus on dealing with him then doing the usual villains route."

"What?! I just kidnapped the Princesses. Besides, I've haven't kidnapped Peach in awhile."

"Yeah, we get that. But remember what Chaos Rean did? He literally got almost all of us killed. In this world it's Elysium. And back in our world, he used and capture you and use your army. We can't let this slide." Paper Crow pointed out. "Plus, we know his weakness. The Keyblade and love. So we need to get our revenge on him and end him for good."

'Plus, we can also change the future involving you know what if we do." Crow added

Bowser closed his eyes.

"Future? What future are you talking about?" Paper Roman asked

"I'll explained." Kamek said


One explanation later...

"Great Mushroom God!" Paper Kamek gasped

"This is more dire than I thought..." Paper Roman muttered

"So Bowser? What are we going to do?" Roman asked

"As much as I dislike those pesty plumbers and the other Class Vii pests, I hate Chaos Rean even more! I need to think about the future, And for Junior too. All right. I kidnapped Peach once so I can do it again another time. Mona, can you get her?" Bowser asked

"My pleasure, my King." Mona smiled

"You go with her too, Mona. It's time we settle our score with Chaos Rean!" Paper Bowser said

"On it, my King." Paper Mona smiled

"Kameks, order every Koopa Troops to don't attack those plumbers yet and let them pass to the Castle." Bowser command. "Crow, you and Paper Crow catch everyone. We need to plan to destroy Chaos Rean once and for all."

"You got it boss!" Crow smirked

Meanwhile...

(Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story ost - Toad Town)

"All right, here we are in the Mushroom Kingdom." Lloyd said. "Glad we have that Warp Pipe that can lead us to Toad Town."

"I'll say. Princess Peachs knows what's going on so we should ask her about how did we get here." Paper Lloyd agreed.

"Yo, Lloyd!" A voice called out as the SSS turn and see Estelle and Joshua with their Paper counterparts.

"Ok, Hey Estelle! Joshua! Even Paper Estelle and Joshua too!" KeA smiled

"It's good to see you again." Elie smiled. "What brings you here to the Mushroom Kingdom?"

"Wait, let me guess, involving you heard from the Princess's castle?" Paper Elie asked.

"You know it!" Paper Estelle nodded. "Thanks to the Intel from the Mushroom Kingdom gave us, we wanted to come here so we can talk what the heck is going on. Plus Princess Peach seems to know what's going on too."

"Yeah. Maybe they know where we can get out paperselves and the other paper brings back home to their world too." Joshua said. "I'm guessing you guys are doing the same too? I thought you guys will be overload with work now that you've gain your independence."

"Oh, you guys gain your independence as well?" Paper Joshua asked

"That's right. You guys too?" Aoi asked

"Yeah. Rufus actually worked hard to give Crossbell their independence." Paper Aoi answered

"Wait, Rufus of all people worked hard to help you guys gain your independence?" Tio asked

"It's quite a shocker, even to us, but it's true in our universe." Paper Tio said.

"Hold on. I think we need to discuss the differences between our universes." Lloyd said.


One talk later...

"Unbelievable..." Aoi rub his chin

"Hmm. Yep. It definitely fits to what I said about the Azure Tree that history could taken different numbers of paths." Lloyd nodded.

"Oh..." Elie placed her hand over her chest.

"Oh, 3D me..." Paper Elie sadden.

"So Speaker McDowell was killed here... while ours is still alive..." Paper Randy muttered. "Damn..."

"Yeah. It was that bitch Cornelia since we snoop our noses as usual. Still. No way in hell I'm gonna let that slide."

"The only unfortunate thing is we don't know where she is. That woman is both crafty and manipulative. Along with her is Epimenides." Joshua said. "Where has that woman gone?"

"I swear it's like with the society, the DG Cult, and other villains who knows how to hide. It's annoying." Estelle muttered.

"Well isn't this a surprise." A voice spoked as the SSS and the Bracer Duo turn and see Renne and the Paldea Gang with their paper counterparts.

"Ah, Renne! Give your big sister a hug!" Estelle spread out her arms and ran toward her and hug her.

"Estelle, when are you gonna behave like an adult?"

"I say never since both of them are Estelle." Paper Renne said.

"Hey! It's natural for Big sisters to wanna dot on their little sisters." Paper Estelle sulk.

"So are you guys discussion about the whole thing about our selves meeting the paper versions?" Florian asked.

"Indeed we were just talking about that." Elie nodded

"Well, do my eyes decide me or is that the SSS, along with everyone else?" A voice asked as they turn and see Noel approaching with his counterpart, Choiri and Castorice with theirs.

"Oh hey, it's Noel!" Nemona waved. "Nice to see you again!"

"No, I'm not having a Pokemon Battle with you." Noel giving a deadpan look.

"Aww!"

"Wait... you...!" Renne looking at Chiori.

"Ah, Miss Bright. It's been awhile." Choiri said.

"Wait, you know her?" Noel asked.

"I do. We've met back in Paldea when she assist me with taking care of a problem."

"Small world." Renne giggled. "Everyone, this is Miss Chiori. She's a Seamstress."

"Hi! Nice to meet you, I'm Florian." Florian greeted. "This is also Florian, but from the paper universe. Then we have, Arven, Nemona, Penny, their paper counterparts, the SSS, and Renne's siblings."

Emblem Lief appeared. "And my name is Lief."

Paper Emblem Lief appeared. "Emblem Lief to be precise. But here I'm Paper Emblem Lief." He turn to Castorice. "And who is this?"

Then Emblem Loewe and his counterpart appeared. "And I am Loewe. And this is my paper counterpart." He turn to Chiori. "Hello, Chiori."

"It's been a long time, Loewe." Chiori said

"Wait, you two know each other?" Renne asked looking surprised.

"We do. However, it is rather awkward." Emblem Loewe said.

"What do you mean?" Joshua asked until he got an idea. "Wait... don't tell me..." He turn to the two. "Are the two of you part of the society?"

"Hehe. Guess's the cats out of the bag." Castoice smiled. "I'll introduce myself. However, regardless that I'm not in operation, I will give you my name and number Enforcer No. XV. Angel of Decay."

Renne had an !? over her head. "No. XV?"

"Yes. That's right." She turn to Renne. "You are the formal Enforcer of that number, yes. I am your replacement. I've a quite a bit about you. The Angel of Slaughter. You and I are quite similar, aren't we?"

"What do you—" Renne giving her the dirty look.

"Hehe. I was hoping one day I would meet you. To see which one of us is skilled in slaughter."

"All right, that's enough of you, Castorice." Noel sighed. "Sorry about her. But she's definitely special. Trust me, I would advise you to be careful with her."

"As for me. Enforcer No. IX. The Golden Blade. But right now. I'm just a seamstress. Please don't worry your pretty little heads about it." Chiori said. "But I'll admit. I wasn't expecting that when we met in Paldea, Miss Bright. I was hoping one day I would get to meet Loewe from what Noel told me about you having his Emblem Ring. And of course." She turn to Joshua. "Meeting his 'innocent' brother too."

"Are you also a new member of the society? Because I don't think I've seen you before." Joshua said.

"Of course not. I was busy elsewhere at the time. But I have been serving the society. I've met many of our patriots. But some like you and Renne are some I had yet to meet. But anyway." Chiori turn to Emblem Loewe. "It's nice to see you again, Master."

"HUH!?" Joshua exclaimed.

"Wait, Master... doesn't that mean?" Penny turn to Emblem Loewe.

"Yes. Joshua and Noel wasn't the only one I've trained. Chiori was my hidden disciple. But Noel was the only one who knew at the time." Emblem Loewe said

"Right. She's pretty sharp with both her tongue and wits. But I do have respect for her as well. Compare to Joshua of course." Noel chuckled. "After all, I'm Loewe proud student. I'm stronger compare to you two."

"Oh, Noel. If you want to brag, I suggest you do it elsewhere." Chiori rolled her eyes. "Because no one cares."

"Sassy as always."

(BGM ended)

"Anyway. I have a feeling you guys are here to ask the Princesses about what's going on, aren't you?" Noel asked. "Well sucks for you that Bowser kidnapped her a moment ago."

"Ah, what?! Why did that Koopa have to kidnap her now? Well! Time we go start rescuing!" Estelle palm fist.

"That won't be necessary. The Mario Bros and Class VII are already on their way. But I can tell you here since I spoken to her myself. Here's the heads up."


One explanation later...

(Fire Emblem Three Houses ost - Spiderwebs)

"So a book that is a portal to their world." Joshua rub his chin. "Well at least that explains everything. And it also explain where Chaos Rean is from too."

"Yeah. Our universes really are so different." Estelle agreed

"Speaking of Chaos Rean." Arven turn his head. "You guys faced him before right. Do you know his weaknesses?"

"I'm afraid I don't know anything about his weakness." Paper Arven said.

"I do. You will find this rather Far-fetched, but he's vulnerable to love." Paper Renne replied.

"Love?" Noel blinked. "Seriously? How is "love" his weakness? That's gotta be the most cliche and far-fetched thing anyone gotta be vulnerable."

"I'll explain."


Another explanation later...

"Count Bleck... Ahh... Now I get it." Noel rub his chin. "So that's how Rean managed to gave Chaos that scar on his chest..."

"He pour his feelings into his sword. The love for everyone..." Joshua rub his chin. "Now I understand. If pouring our feelings into our blades... especially our love ones we want to protect... we can use that to defeat him."

"So nothing's just, but just use our feelings and pour them into our weapons." Estelle said. "That's so embarrassing!"

"In that case. I know exactly what to do when I face him~" Noel chuckled as he wink ar Renne.

"Keep your wink to yourself." Renne look away.

Suddenly, The SSS, Liberl's team and Paldea Gang got a called.

"Huh? Who's calling us now?" Estelle pull her ARCUS Alpha. "Oh it's Rean!" She answered. "Hey Rean!"

"Ah, Estelle! Joshua! I'm glad you and the SSS picked dup." Rean said

"We're here too." Noel waved.

"Oh, perfect! Listen. We're teaming up with Bowser ot defeat Chaos Rean. We know how to defeat him now."

"Yeah, we heard from our counterparts about his vulnerability. What should we do?" Joshua asked

"First, let's prepare a nice trap for that scum." Bowser smirked. "I know just the place."

(BGM ended)


Meanwhile...

(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Scheming)

"How is the report going?" Dry Bowser asked.

"Why excellent, Lord Bowser." Epimenides said. "Cornelia and my new bodies are improving. We're about to begin transforming our souls into our new vessels."

"Not that report."

"Ah. My apologizes. Which report were you expecting to hear?"

"I'm speaking about those devices and the Secret Stone Ganondorf was very eager to replicate." Dry Bowser answered.

"Ah, yes. The Secret Stones. The replication is almost complete. We will begin the prototype soon. The Secret Stone we found throughout That Hyrule version was time-consuming. But at least we managed to find one. The Stones hold some manner of special properties that amplified the users power. The ores of that is still a mystery. However, our investigation team did discover that the marking does replied to Japanese characters. Or Kanjis. Regardless, the ore that was hold is similar to that of some magic ores that was imbued to the land. Or Zemurian Ore when it has spiritual power. Like those crystals, King Boo discovered back in Evershade Valley if I recall."

"I see. Speaking off, what about those orbments we gather in Calvard?"

"The Oct-Genesis, correct? Almata is still conducting them as we speak. I have an understanding of how we can reproduce them if needed. Furthermore, thanks to Chaos, We found the last one located in Heilong Cheng Zhai. However, it's very difficult to get to. The one called Xiao is been protecting that Genesis due to what Chaos has told me from what he learn from Irmensul. I took the liberty of making a plan for us to take the genesis without him knowing of our movement."

"Excellent. I expect great news. Who knew such secrets was hiding in this world." Dry Bowser mused. "It was wise of me to recruit him."

"Speaking of that man. Are you certain he's mature enough?" Epimenides asked

"No. I'm not convinced. That is why Dimentio better raised him to root out that childish personality."

The door knock.

"My lord. I bring news."

"Enter." Dry Bowser spoked as the grand door open as a Dry Bone answered and knee down. "Speak."

"It's about your newest recruit, Chaos Rean. He's been causing trouble in Peach's Castle and has fled for now. I suspected he may want to attack them again."

"What?" Dry Bowser's eyes glowed red. "Did I not order him to stay put?"

"You did, My Lord." Epimenides answered.

"Grr... Summon Dimentio."

"As you wish." The Dry Bone got on his feet and take off as a few minutes happened and Dimentio appeared.

"Hello, Your Excellency!" Dimentio said.

"Dimentio. I have an order for you. Bring Chaos back. He disobeyed my order. And he failed to control his anger. Here is what I want you to repeat to that creature."


Okay, everyone! I have some news to share regarding Paper Jam. Oh wait, I'll wait until after I tell you when he was defeated.
