Dateline: April 5, 1207
(BlazBlue ost - Lakeside)
"Phew... Man, I can't believe we have to write so many invitations." Levi said as they saw a pile of envelopes and papers on the table.
"Well, we do have A LOT of friends and families that we need to invite." Rean said as, wearing his glasses and holding a pen. "Okay, we got Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi... Alisa, Crow, Mona, Alhaitham..."
"We got Lady Lima, Queen Bean, Prince Peasley, Machias, Gaius, Elliot, Fie, Sara, Laura, Jusis, Emma, Roselia, Celine, Millium, Vita..."
"Claire, Lechter, Of course, Juna, Kurt, Altina, Ash, Venti, Musse, Ash, Towa, Angelica, George, Tita, Agate, Estelle, Joshua... Do you think the SSS will make it?"
"That's a tough question. Because setting a wedding is gonna take a lot of Mira for cater, and other stuff." Levi replied
"True. But Princess Peach said not to worry about that. She said she'll handle the cake and catering since we are going to use her castle for our wedding." Rean said.
"She's really so sweet to us, Rean. I wish we can repay her."
"Me too. You know, we have so many best friends outside of Class VII. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, Victor, Marnie, Byleth, Edelgard, Dimitri, Claude, Mona, Kazuha, Aether, Brianna, Marth, Lucina, Lissa, Ragna, Noel, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Pit, Palutena, I can go on and on."
"We really are blessed you know." Levi smiled as he looked up at the ceiling. "So have so many friends... And yet..."
"And yet?" Rean asked.
"No..." Levi shook his head. "It's nothing. Anyway, we also need to discuss our honeymoon."
"Oh yeah. You know. Sora suggested we use a world called San Fransokyo. It has some eastern and western culture with advanced technology and some great places for our honeymoon."
"Wow! That's a great idea! I'll thank Sora for the recommendation."
"I see you two are having a nice conversation." Lucia came in.
"Hey, Mom. I'm sorry we've taken a bit of your time discussing our wedding." Rean said.
"Oh think nothing of it. If anything, I was wondering when you and Levi will get married. You have no idea how happy everyone is here. Your Father included."
"Haha. Everyone has been very supportive of us."
"So, how many invitations have you worked on?" Lucia asked.
"Just about... 50... I think." Levi answered.
"My goodness, that's quite a large number. Then again, you made friends with so many people all over the world. I'm sure it's really going to keep you both busy."
"You don't know the half of it." Rean nervous smile. "Lucky, we work on everyone's name on a list. Hopefully, we should get it done. But we can use a helping hand before sending all the invitations."
"In that case, let me go help you. Oh, I'll get Maple to help out too." Lucia nodded
At Leeves...
"Mmm~" Juna moaning as she and Kurt kissed deeply until they parted their lips with salvia separated. "This is starting to be the best day ever."
"Because Crossbell finally gained their independence?" Kurt asked with a smile
"Yeah, and that I was able to be there in person. I'm so happy that my heart can't stop beating and my tears too. And most of all, I have you with me Kurt."
"Me too, Juna. I'm so happy for you."
"Thank you, Kurt." Juna smiled, lay her head on her boyfriend's chest. "Say, Kurt. Did... by any chance, did your mom and dad ask about... you and me?"
"Aha... Funny that you brought it up." Kurt said as he blushed. "My Mother did. I know we both met our parents but... have you told your Mom and Dad that we're dating?"
"I did."
"Same with my Mother. Mueller was quite happy that I have a girlfriend. Father didn't say much but, he wished me good luck."
Juna nervously laughed. "Your Dad is hard to read, isn't he?"
"You have no idea. But, I'm grateful to him all the same." Kurt chuckled. "You're going to join the SSS, aren't you? After graduation, I mean?"
"Yeah. Of course... that would also mean you and I might be drifted apart..."
"Maybe, but that doesn't mean I can't talk to visit you when we go on our dates together."
"Since you ask me. What about you?" Juna asked. "Are you going to find Cedric after graduating? Or are you going to become Princess Alfin's bodyguard from now on?"
"As a Vander, yes. I am going to be serving as Princess Alfin's bodyguard. Since the man I'm sworn to protect is no longer reach. I just hope he's okay." Kurt sighed.
"Well, at least he has his Pokemon. But I know we'll see him again. Together."
"Haha. Thanks, Juna. Do you... want to keep kissing?"
"Oh yeah." Juna smiled as she and Kurt kissed deeply again.
In the Branch Campus...
"All right, this is done." Ash handed over the paperwork to Musse.
"Well done Mr. President." Musse giggled. "You must be tired after all that work."
"You don't know the half of it. Honestly, this politic stuff is so out of my league."
"And yet you seem to handle them very well." Musse winked.
"Only cause I got you as my vice president, Tatianna as the treasurer, Stark as my secretary and Leonora as my supervisor. Course, you got yourself to blame for earning that position for hiding the details from me."
"Aww, I did say I was sorry, didn't I~ I'll admit, I didn't calculate this. So I might as well get used to it to add itional work for me. But you promise to help me, my dear Ash?"
"Since you won't be kidding secrets for me. I might."
"Wonderful!" Musse clapped her hands. "Oh, by the way, have you seen Altina and Venti?"
"Last I heard, Bard boy and the Rabbit got a call from Luigi and said needed help."
"I wonder what could that be."
(BGM ended)
At Peach's Castle, in the attic...
(Mario and Luigi Dream Team ost - Beneath Pi'illo Castle)
"Okay, explain to me again why did you bring us here?" Venti asked, wearing a maid's outfit. "And why am I wearings a maids outfit?"
"To be perfectly honest, I didn't exactly wear one." A Toad said. "I was just messing with you."
"Oh fuck you!" Venti rip off the mades outfit and rewearing his Thors Branch Campus uniform. "I can't believe you made me wear this in front of whole castle!"
"Why are you making a big deal out of it since no one cares?" Altina asked. "Most assume that you're a staff here. Plus you look cute as one."
"Aww, that makes me blush hearing that from my girl."
"Seriously, you're getting mad at me for a harmless joke?" A Toad asked, muttering.
"Okay, but what about us?" Duey asked, holding a feather duster. "Why are we here?"
"Didn't you guys broke Toadsworth's vase in his room?"
Flashback...
"Hahaha!" Huey laughed as he toss a vase to Dewey in Toadsworth's room.
"Hey, catch Louie!" Dewey yelled as he toss to him.
"What?" Louie pull his headphones down and turn. "Wah!" He yelled as he duck and the vase broke to the wall.
"Dang it Louie! I told you to catch it!" Huey yelled.
"Dude, I was watching this anime here in this world! The animation is so cool!"
"What's an anime?" Dewey asked.
"Something Japanese or something."
"WAAAAAAAAH!" The Three Boys turn their heads and see Toadsworth jaw-dropping. "MY GRANDFATHER'S VASE! IT WAS BOTH PRICELESS AND A MEMENTO FROM HIM!" He then passed out on the floor as Scrooge, Donald, Delia, and Mrs. Beakley just showed up and then placed their hands on their hips, giving a mad look.
End of Flashback...
"How was I supposed to know it was priceless? Not to mention so that vase looks like it could be seen anywhere." Huey muttered.
"Well, the good thing is that Zhongli was here and he rewound time to fix the vase." Luigi said.
"Yeah, but you gotta admit, that was cool." Dewey snapped his finger. "I mean time powers! Wow!"
"Well, he is a god, right?" Louie shrugged.
"In any case, why did you call us here Luigi?" Altina asked. "Aside from the Three Stooges over here."
"I needed help to clean the attic with Toad here." Luigi scratched the back of his hair.
"The Attic is huge! Can you blame me? Plus it's dark in there!" Toad said.
"So turn on the lights." Huey said.
"There isn't any light switch in here. It was supposed to be one but we have a window and curtains. Plus no one has been here in awhile."
"Okay, but how come you didn't find the window or at least use the flashlight? Don't you have smartphones?" Louie asked.
"Mine is charging right now. Anyway, I'll move the curtains and then you guys can help me clean up the attic. But gotta warn ya. It's very dusty." The Toad head to the curtains and then opens them. "There! Nice sunlight."
"Whoa, look at all the cobwebs here." Venti staring at the wall.
"Not to mention there's a hole in the wall." Altina pointed to the draft.
"Oh, that's just great. Hey Venti, can you do us a favor and blow the dust out of here." Toad asked
"I'm on it." Venti snapped his finger and a gust of wind carried the dust and cobwebs out of the attic through the window.
"Wipes, jobs done." Duey toss the feather duster. "I'm gonna head out now."
"Hold it!" Toad got between the door. "You guys still gonna help out with breaking Toadsworth vase."
"Figured."
"Okay, Luigi, you can you cover that draft?"
"I'm on it." Luigi went to the hole, until a Scardy-Rat popped up, look at him. "Waaah!"
"Luigi, what's wrong?" Altina asked
"R-R-Rat!"
"A rat? Come on, Luigi. It can't be that bad." Venti turn his head and see no rat. "I don't see the rat."
"Are you sure you're not imagining?" Altina asked
"No I swear I saw a rat!" Luigi exclaimed
"Didn't you guys face monsters? I mean come on, you can handle that but you're scared of a rat?" Dewy asked.
"Of course I can! *sighed* Fine. Hang on." Luigi hops to the hole and looks in the hole. "Umm... Where's the rat?"
*poke* *poke*
"Dewey, stop poking me." Huey said.
"That wasn't me." Dewey replied
*poke* *poke*
"Okay, Louie stop that."
"Dude, I'm over here." Louie waves his hand in a few feet from him.
"Then who's poking—" Huey turns his head and sees the Scardy-Rat. "—me... WAAH A RAT!"
"Gah! Is that even a rat?!" Louie exclaimed as he swung his feather duster at the Scaredy Rat but it bounced off.
"Hey, get back here" Dewey swings his feather duster at the Scaredy Rat but he moves around fast. "How can a rat move this fast!"
"Eeeeeek!" Toad Hop on the bookshelf! "Kill it! Kill it!"
"I got it!" Altina summon Claiomh Solais and swung its arms but the Scaredy Rat dodged. "Missed..."
Huey looked around and spotted one of the books in the shelf, he grabbed it. "Eat this sucker!" He threw the book to the Scaredy Rat who was moving around and then hit Venti's Knee.
"Ow!" Venti hopped on his foot to cover the wound.
Huey sweatdropped. "Whoops." He turn to the next book, grabbed it and threw it on the Scaredy Rat, and killed it. "Woohoo! Go me!"
"Umm... guys..." Louie called out to everyone as he pointed as they see the book with the Mushroom on it shaking.
(BGM ended)
"Errr... Is that book magical?" Dewey turn to Toad.
"Not that I know of." Toad replied as the book opened up as it sparkled of many colors.

Back at Peach's Castle...
(Mario and Luigi Paper Jam ost - Peach's Castle)
"I'm still surprised that Erika and Kokonoe allow Eggman to join after the whole Retributive Tower." Peach said.
"I know. Even I am surprised." Mario agreed. "But I really wondered if it is a good idea for Eggman to be part of the International Zemurian Tech Union."
"Yeah, I agree, given his track record." Starlow agreed. "But I'm glad that you guys pulled off in that Retributive Tower. The other Star Sprites were in a panic from that weapon of destruction. I mean seriously, who would have guess the Mastermind behind all of this was an evil doppelganger of Rean? Speaking off, I heard he and Levi are getting married."
"Oh yeah! I'm so happy for them!" Peach smiled. "Oh, I can imagine the life how it feels to have a married life..."
'A married life, huh...' Mario close his eyes as he thought.
"PRINCEEEEEESS!" A Toad ran in along with Luigi, Altina, Venti, Huey, Dewey and Louie. "WE GOT A PROBLEM!"
"A problem? What is it?" Peach asked
"Well... why don't you ask her?!" Toad asked, pointing as they all see a paper version of Peach walking in, causing them all to have an ?! over their heads.
"WHAAAAAAAAT?!" Peach, Mario, Starlow, Toadsworth, and Scrooge all yelled
"Boys! What did you do!?" Scrooge asked
"Hey, what make you think it was us!?" Huey asked
"Trust me, whenever shenanigans happen, you boys are the root cause of it!"
"It wasn't my fault! It was Huey!" Louie pointed.
"Hey!" Huey yelled
"What's going on?" Paper Peach wondered as she notice her 3D counterpart as they got close to one another.
"Are you... me?" Both of them asked.
"Blimey!" Scrooge exclaimed as he, Mario, Luigi and Starlow got close to examine the paper counterpart. "It's like we're seeing a 2d version of the lass!"
"Wow!" Peach clapped her hands. "Your dress is so beautiful!"
"Why thank you, and so is yours!" Paper Peach said as they both smiled, and then Mario and Luigi looked at Paper Peach. 'Hello!" She wave with a cute smile, causing both of them to have their hearts skips several bears and proceeded to blush. "Aww, they're blushing!"
Peach giggled "They're always like this. But mostly Mario."
"Hello, I'm Starlow!" Starlow greeted. "Nice to meet you!"
"And I am Scrooge Mcduck!" Scrooge greeted.
"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Scrooge and Starlow." Paper Peach said.
"Hmm... very curious... seeing a 2D version of Princess Peach herself... but... are you perhaps... paper?"
"That's right."
"My goodness! A paper version of Princess Peach. And if she's here... then there must be paper versions of ourselves!" Scrooge rubs his chin. "But how is this possible. Boys." He turn to them. "Since you three are the ones responsible, explain yourself!"
"I told you, it was Huey!" Dewey said.
"Oh shut up!" Huey grumbled. "Okay, In my defense... I did not know the book was magical. Look, we were cleaning the attic—"
"That Venti took care most of it with wind magic." Louie chin in.
"Dude!"
Scrooge pinch his nose. "Get on with it."
"Okay, I found this book." Huey pull out the book. "I used it to kill this big bony rat thing and suddenly the book was shaking and then it burst out all these... things. Which then we now learn are paper beings."
"Wait, I just noticed something... If the princess has a Paper Counterpart... then that means we have one too!" Louie said.
"I just said that earlier!" Scrooge yelled. "But I'll admit, this is quite the discovery. Oh I can imagine Von Drake would be fascinated by this. Speaking off, where is he?"
"Yooohooo everyone!" A voice yelled as they see another duck with a lab coat with his paper counterpart.
"And speak of the devil... err Devils I might say! Von Drake! I was just talkin' about ye."
"Oh you were? It is about my handsome friend here? Or about the Paper version of Princess Peach?" Ludwig Von Drake asked.
"Both." Scrooge answered
"Well, I came with extraordinary news involving my paper counterpart and the paper counterpart of our fair princess! I've spent much time discussing with my friend here and it turns out that he's came from a universe where everyone is made out of paper! I call it... Paperverse!"
"Paperverse?" Starlow asked. "It sounds like you replaced either uni or multi with paper and added verse in the end."
"Oh yeah. What do you call our Universe?" Venti asked
Von Drake rub his chin. "Hmm... Considering everyone are non-paper. Perhaps we should called it 3D Universe."
"Yeah, that checks out."
"That's exactly as it sounds." Paper Von Drake. "But I'm curious to find out how we are here."
"From this book." Huey said as Von Drake take the book.
"From this book?" Von Drake open the pages. "Hmm... I'm no expert when it comes to magic, but I say this book might be a gateway that leads to another universe. In other words. Here."
"Perhaps we should research how this book explains how it functions like a portal." Paper Von Drake suggest.
"A capital idea me from another universe! And with this book, we can also return you all back to your universe."
Venti rub his chin. 'Wait... didn't Chaos Rean said something about a book... Could he be...'
"I wonder if we'll find a paper version of myself..." Starlow wondered.
"Wait..." Altina said. "If there's a paper version of us... then... where are—"
"PRINCEEEESS!" A Toad came running in. "Princess we gotta—wait... am I seeing double!?"
"You are, but what's wrong?" Peach asked
"Err.. okay. Princesses. We got a flurry of Paper Toads going about the castle and they're scared out of their minds!"
"We'll take care of it. Let's a go, Bro." Mario said as the Bros take off as they went and gather all of the Paper Toads until eventually, they gathered all of them up.
"PRINCESS!" All of the Paper Toads yelled to their paper Princess. "WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!"
"I'm so glad you're all okay. But please rest assured, you're all safe here." Paper Peach said with a warm smile. "I wonder if the Mario of my world is here. Come to think of it. Maybe Altina and Venti of my world too since I'm seeing the two of you here."
"I would be shocked if there was a paper version of me." Venti admit.
"Same with me." Altina nodded. "Speaking of that... I wonder if our version of everyone we know met their paper counterparts."
"Perhaps we should talk with them and explain the situation."
"Agreed." Altina agreed until multiple ARCUS Alpha were ringing. "Oh!" She pulls out her ARCUS Alphas along with everyone else. "It's from Instructor Rean!"
"Zhongli too." Venti said as he answered.
"Hello? Everyone?" Elliot asked.
"Oh, thank goodness you called! Something unexpected is going on! Is everyone seeing... paper versions of themselves?" Emma asked
"We are! What the heck is going on here! Roer is in panicked." Alisa said
"Same in Heimdallr. I think it safe to say the whole world is in a state of uproar." Sara said
"Hello, everyone!" Von Drake chin in.
"Who are you?" Machias asked
"Oh, this is Professor Ludwig Von Drake everyone. He came from King Mickey's world." Alisa said
"Thank you, Miss Reinford. But everyone, I have news involving meeting your paper counterparts." Ludwig said
One explanation later...
"A universe filled with a paper version of ourselves..." Levi proceed
"And this whole thing started because of the book in Peach's Castle attic?" Fie asked
"Yep. You can blame Huey for that." Louie answered
"Oh come on! Again, how was I suppose to know it was a portal to another universe!?" Huey muttered
"Well at least we know what happened at least." Laura nervous smile. "Still, the world seem to be in a panic."
"Right. I think it would be best to let the whole world know. It would also calm the situation and also calm the paper masses." Peach advised.
"..." Rean was giving a pensive look.
"Is something wrong Rean?" Gaius asked
"Yeah. I actually have a question for my paper counterpart. But first, we all should meet up in Peach's Castle. And if I'm right... I'm afraid we may enter a dangerous situation."
"Sounds like a plan then." Juna said.
"Um, excuse me, everyone." Paper Peach Chin in. "I'm sorry to interrupt but I also have a favor to ask of you. The Toads of my world have been ambushed by Bowser's minions on their way here. Can I ask that you rescue them?"
"Sounds like a Bracer's job. You got it Princess." Sara said
"In the meantime, you go handle the announcements." Mario said as Peach nodded as thee Bros, Altina and Venti take off with their counterparts.
"HEY! GET BACK HERE!" A Toad yelled as they see a Nabbit running off with a Sableye with several items but dropping a Red Shell and a Fire Flower and jump into the water. "AAAUGH! He got away!"
"Hey, guys! Can you go find those thieves and take our stuff back for us?" A Blue Toad asked.
"Guess we'll add that to our list." Altina said as Mario took the Red Shell while Luigi took the Fire Flower as they walked off, only to run into Toadette with her Paperverion and holding a papercraft version of Mario and Rean.
"Aaaand jump!" Toadette throw her Papercraft along with her Papercraft with Rean's as they both catch it.
"Hey, Toadettes!" Venti called out to them.
"Hey guys!" Toadette waved at them.
"Is that a mini version of Mario and Instructor Rean?" Altina asked
"Yep! I call it Papercraft."
"Papercraft?" Mario asked
"Yep! It's basically crafting by using paper, cardboard, etc, etc. I've taken an interest in Papercraft. It took me 3 hours to get the basic and finally I crafted a Mario version and now I crafted a Rean Version."
"Oh that's cool! Can you make a papercraft version of us?" Venti asked
"Well sure I can! It will definitely help hone my skills! Especially making life-sized papercraft versions of you guys! Ooh this is gonna be fun!"
"And I'm gonna help!" Paper Toadette giggled.
"Hey!" Three Paper Toad came running. "Phew! Glad we made it. We got something to give you on your journey. Take this." the Paper Red Toad handed over a Copy Block.
"A block?" Paper Altina asked
"It's a Copy Block. We made it ourselves."
"Yeah! We found this room filled with cool stuff to do! Since we're pretty crafty, we can make tons of cool stuff out of paper. You want in?" A Blue Toad asked
"Would I?! Come on Paper Me, let's go!" Toadette exclaimed
"Right behind you!" Paper Toadette take off with the other Paper Toads and her 3D self.
"Welp, there they go." Paper Venti said. "All right, let's get going." He said as they take off and arrived at Sunbeam Plains

"Hold it right there, Mario!" A Paper Goomba came in with another Paper Goomba.
"Is that a Goomba?" Mario asked.
"Yep. That's a Goomba but made out of Paper." Venti said.
"Err, dude. Doesn't this Mario look different to you?" The Paper Goomba asked
"Huh? I know Mario is fat but he's not THIS fat." The Other Paper Goomba said
"Hey, I exercise you know!" Mario exclaimed.
"Well, clearly the results are not kicking in."
Mario had cross marks on his forehead. "Take this!" He brought his hammer out and swing them away.
"Aaaaaugh!"
Everyone sweatdrop.
"Well, they had it coming." Paper Altina said.

Meanwhile in Bowser's Castle...
(Mario and Luigi Paper Jam ost - Bowser's Coming!)
"Your Nastiness! I got a report from our scouts!" Kamek barge into the throne room.
"Oh good! It is about the report for our next plan to take over the Mushroom Kingdom as planned?" Bowser asked.
"Well, no—"
"No? Bah! What is this time? It's about time we start planning to take over the Mushroom Kingdom! We haven't done that for awhile since making the troops stronger, improving our technology, preparing and Anti-Sage control, and improving our A-Game since that incident with Elysium. It's about time we start getting back on schedule! Oh, and especially dealing with those pesky plumbers!"
"Yes, I agree, Your Eviliness, but it's urgent about the report." Kamek replied
"Hey! What's going on here?" A voice asked
"Pardon me, Your Eviliness, but when did you decide to take Ventriloquism?"
"What are you talking about? I never took any ventriloquism lessons." Bowser asked as they turn and see Paper Bowser walking in.
"Where am I?" Paper Bowser wondered.
Kamek blinked. "What in the world..."
"HEY!" Bowser roared. "Who the hell are you and how dare you steal MY looks!"
"Your looks? This is MY looks you're stealing!" Paper Bowser roared as they both got really close to each other and nearly crashed Kamek.
"Nnngh...! W-Wait a minute, Lord Bowser! Don't go crushing me in the middle!" Kamek pleaded
"I don't know who you think you are faker or how you got in here but this is MY castle! So scram before I decided to claw you to pieces!" Bowser glared
"You're the faker here, pal!" Paper Bowser glared "I'm the real deal and I won't be insulted by some fat hillbilly!" Paper Bowser snarl.
"You're the fat one here!"
"No, you are!"
"YOU ARE!"
"YOU ARE!"
Both of them proceed to get into a dust cloud and pummel each other as Kamek got kicked out of the fight.
"Oof..." He groaned
"HAVE A TASTE OF THIS!"
"TAKE THIS!"
Kamek sweatdropped. "Oh, first the chaos with Elysium and now two Lord Bowsers... I seriously need a vacation." He said and then thought for a moment. "Wait a minute... the Bowser who shows up looks like he's made of paper, and our scouts reported seeing paper versions Goombas, humans alike. Then that means..."
"Hey Big Guy!" Kamek turn and he see Crow with Mona, Shez, Arval, Roman and Neo. "We got a pro—" He see the dust cloud. "Err... what's going on here?"
"It's... complicated. But you'll see for yourselves once you hear the reports from our scouts. But I'll take a guess, you've encountered a paper counterpart of yourself?"
"Good guess." Crow pointed back as he turned and saw Paper Versions of Crow, Mona, Shez, Arval, Roman, and Neo.
"Ooh, this is just as I expected..." Kamek sweatdrop.
"Okay, does anyone know what's going on? Where are we?" Paper Roman asked.
"I've asked my paper counterpart here and the last thing she said was she was pulled away by some force." Mona said
"The same thing happened to me." Paper Crow replied.
"About that. I have the answer. According to the scouts, this whole paper mess happened at Peach's Castle." Kamek answered
{Why am I not surprised that this happened in Peach's Castle?} Neo asked with a sign
Kamek rubs his chin. "Ah, I see what's going on now."
"You do?" Paper Arval asked.
"I've heard about a book that holds a parallel world within its pages. So that's where they must have come from."
"Copycat!" A voice exclaimed as they turn and see Junior looking at his paper counterpart.
"You're the Copycat!" Paper Jr. exalimed before both Juniors look at each other. "But I gotta say, nice style."
"Thanks! I like your style too! And I thought things was gonna get boring after the whole Elysium thing."
"What's Elysium?"
"Okay, so who's fighting Bowser?" Crow asked
"His... paper counterpart." Kamek answered, causing them to sweatdropped.
"Okay, Mona, do the nagging thing."
"Wha— excuse me!?" Both Mona yelled. "I am not NAGGED!"

(Resuming Springtime Breeze)
"Ooough..." A Paper Toad moaning as he dropped. "First all of my friends has been abducted by Bowser's Minions with oddly looking and now I'm lost... Oh, what am I going to do now?"
"Hello there." Starlow approached him with the Bros, Venti and Altina with their Paper counterparts
"WAAAAAH! A YELLOW THING! RUUUN!" The Paper Toad skedaddle
"Wait! Come back!" Starlow yelled as the others sweatdrop.
"Maybe we should approach them next time, Starlow." Paper Altina advised.
Starlow sighed. "Might as well."
"Help! Leave me alone!" The Bros along with the others turn and see a Green Paper Toad was running away from a Goomba as they slide to a rock where the Goombas couldn't go through.
"Dang it! I can't squeeze from here..." The Goomba muttered. "Welp, guess I'll be created and use some Orbal Arts." Until he got shot. "Augh!" and blown away.
"All right, that outta take care of him." Venti said as Paper Venti squeeze through the rocks.
"Heey!" Paper Venti called out.
"Aaah! I'm— Oh! Venti! From Class VII! I'm saved!" Green Paper Toad cheered. "Venti, you gotta help me! My friends have been captured and they need rescuing."
"Say no more. But first, let's take you somewhere safe. Lucky I know a place. They're good people and the others are there too. So hold on right, K?" Paper Venti cast a magic circle and teleported the Paper Green Toad away and then came back with the others. "Okay, I'm back."
"Hey!" A voice yelled as they turn and see Paper Goombas charging in.
"Oh great, we got more Paper Goombas this time." Venti rolled his eyes.
"Yeah! And we got you outnumbered this time! Witness our attack! Come on guys!"
The Papers Goombas formed up.
"WITNESS!"
"OUR!"
"SUPER!"
"GOOMBA!'
"SUPER WHEEL!"
"Uh, guys... we said Super twice." A Paper Goomba pointed out.
"Who cares about that! Let's take them out!"
(BGM paused)
(Mario and Luigi: Paper Jam ost - Come on!)
They formed into one Paper Goomba wheel and they proceed to rev and charge at them.
"Whoa!" Venti exclaimed as they quickly dodged the attack as they rolled away for a U-Turn. "Incoming!"
"I got this!" Paper Venti aims his Bow.
"ARCANE GALE!"
Suddenly, someone fast slash through the Paper Goomba Wheel and knock them out of formation.
"AAAAUGH! WHO DID THAT?!" One of the Paper Goomba yelled

"It's Rean and Levi!"
"Nocturne Bell!" A Bell appeared over the Paper Goombas and knocked them to Nightmare Static.
"Rosetta Arrow!" Then a Beam was fired at them, knocking several of them away as it reveal Class VII, both Paper versions and 3D versions gathered around the Paper Goomba.

"Venti, Altina. Are you and the others okay?" Paper Rean asked
"Never better!"
"Thank goodness."
"Mama Mia." Mario looking at his Paper Self. "You don't see that everyday."
"Yeah, we really do have Paper selves." Luigi agreed.
"What are you guys doing all the way out here? Aren't we suppose to meet at Peach's Castle?" Gaius asked
"Well that was the plan, but the princesses asked us to help find Paper Toads who are scattered here." Mario answered
"Ah. They must have been scared out of their minds." Elliot said.
"Well, we did agreed with the Princesses that we'll help find them." Sara said. "I'll see if we can have the other Bracers in the Mushroom Kingdom help us out with the search."
"Okay, let's split up. They should be around here." Fie said.
"Good idea. All right. Let's split up, everyone." Machias said as they all split up with their paper counterparts.
With Machias, Millium, and Jusis with their Paperselves...
"Heeeeelp! Someone help me!" A Paper Toad screamed as he was captured by a Goomba.
"Quit your squirming! You're coming with me!" A Goomba yelled
"Unhand that Toad you vile field!" Jusis got his sword out and pointed at the Goombas.
"Aw, nuts! It's one of Class VII gang! I'm outta here!" The Goomba begin to run away, only to be cornered. "Hey no wait!"
"We won't be asking again. Drop him." Paper Jusis demand.
"Oh yeah? Guess what?" The Goomba Cast an orbal art and blow a gust of wind underneath him to boost his jump as he hop over them. "See ya later suckers!" He ran off.
"Since when do Goombas do that?!" Millium exclaimed.
"Oh no you don't!" Machias aim his gun and fired at the Goombas but he was fast enough to dodge the bullet. "Grr! Since when do Goombas move that fast?!"
Jusis got his Pokeball out and appeared Rapidash as he climb up his Pokemon. "Let's go, Rapidash! Yehaah!" He yelled as Rapidash gallop toward the Goombas.
"Oh come on! That's cheating!" The Goomba complained until Jusis slashed him as he pass him. "Aaaugh!" He dropped the Toad as the others watched up.
"Are you all right?" Paper Jusis asked
"Phew..." The Paper Toad got up. "Yep! Thanks to you!"
"I'm glad. Come with us, we'll keep you safe."

"All right, that's all the Toads we round them up!" Millium cheered.
"Okay, now all we gotta do is take them to Peach's Castle." Fie said.
"All right, everyone, gather rup and I'll teleport us back to the castle." Emma said. "Paper me, can you help me?"
"Of course." Paper Emma nodded as they all gathered up and activated a teleportation circle and teleported to Peach's Castle.

"Mama Mia! Another Princess Peach. She's yours?" Paper Mario turn to Mario.
"Ooh yeah." Mario nodded with a smile.
"Everyone, thank you for rescuing some the Paper Toads that are scattered." Paper Peach smiled.
"Of course Princess. I'm gonna send word to the guild here to help escort the other Paper Beings to the Mushroom Kingdoms." Sara said.
"Hold that thought, Sara. First, we should talk about what happened to them." Peach said.
"Ah, right. The Duck professor mention something about a book, right?"
"The very same. I just got a call from Palutena, she's coming over along with others who are planning on joining."
"Who?" Rean asked
"Why us my dear Rean." A voice said as they turn and see Olivert, Alfin in her Princess dress and Mueller with their Paper selves with, Daisy, Palutena, and Pit with their paper counterparts.
"Your Highness! Princess Alfin!"
"Brother!" Kurt exclaimed
"Hello, Kurt. And the rest of you as well." Mueller said.
"Hey guys!" Pit waved.
"Yo, what's up?" Daisy thumps up
"Hey Pit! Palutena and Daisy too!" Machias smiled.
"And our Pit, Palutena and Daisy are here too." Paper Machias said.
"Everyone, I'm so glad to see you again." Alfin cheered. "It's been a week since Crossbell's Independence yesterday. Speaking off, Juna, congratulations."
"Aww, thanks Princess." Juna smiled.
"I'm glad that everyone's here. Shall we head to the conference room?" Peach asked
"Actually, there's someone else who will be joining us." Paper Palutena said. "However..."
"However?" Paper Peach tilt her head.
"I'm afraid this guest is... awkward for everyone here. Well, to our 3D Counterparts."
"What do you mean by that?" Laura asked.
(BGM ended)
"Excuse me, Lady Palutena? Can I come in now?" A voice asked, causing Kurt to eye widen.
"That voice..." Kurt turned his head as Alfin, Mueller and Olivert had an awkward look on their person as coming in was Cedric... no... Paper Cedric, causing the 3D heroes to have an ?! over their heads.
(Trails of Cold Steel IV ost - Sensitive Talk)
"Wow. So this is Princess Peach's Castle?" Paper Cedric looking around. "It's similar but... it's... much larger than expected."
"Oh, Your Highness!" Paper Kurt said.
"Ah, Kurt. I had a feeling you would be here. The same for the rest of you. And... Oh!" Paper Cedric turn to the 3D main. "It's Kurt's and the other counterparts! It's nice to meet you!"
"You gotta be kidding..." Ash muttered.
"Kurt?" Juna turn to Kurt in concern as Kurt staring at Paper Cedric with a sad look.
"... Prince... Cedric?"
"That's right. It's nice to meet you Kurt." Paper Cedric smiled until he notice the gloomy atmosphere. "Hm? Is there something wrong? You had the same look Alfin and Olivert of this world had when they first saw me."
"Yeah, I've noticed that too. Is something wrong?" Paper Alfin asked.
"Oh... uh..." Rean scratched his cheek. "Well... we're... sorry that you're seeing us this way. This is... very awkward for everyone here. But... I never expected you would come here, Your Highness."
"Hm? How do you mean? You make it sound like I rarely came by to visit. Then again, as Crown Prince, there is many of my duties I have to attend." Paper Cedric said and then he sighed. "It's really stressful. But in any matter, where's the Me of this world? I don't see him among you."
"Ooh, this is awkward..." Musse muttered.
"Huh? Did... something happened to him?"
"Maybe we should discuss it in the conference room." Rean said.
"Right. Please follow me everyone, all will be explained." Peach said as they all headed to the conference room.

Meanwhile...

"This is Godfrey Toad From the Mushroom Kingdom News. With me is another version of me but paper." A Toad turn to his Paper counterpart. "Today, we come to announce the inexplicable phenomenon going on throughout the world."
"That's right. As my... er... other me but rounder said, the world is currently under an inexplicable phenomenon right now. For my Paper being are scattered all over the world, perhaps even te universe as we know it. Every people from my universe have somehow ended up in here to this world. The causes it unknown. But we received word from Princess Peach and the Princess Peach of my world regarding this event."
"It is simply they may know the cause of it. But hasn't explained what that is. However, both princesses ask the people of the world, both Paper beings and us 3D apparently to please remain calm. We will update you on the latest news once Princess Peach and her Paper counterpart come with an announcement involving the inexplicable phenomenon."

"Paper version of ourselves?"
(Fire Emblem Engage ost - Scheming)
Watching the live broadcast through a projection was Dry Bowser on his throne, alongside was Epimenides, Cornelia, Medusa, Yuga, TOTK Ganondorf, Ghiraham, Princess and Elder Princess Shroob, and Chaos Rean.
"Well, this is quite rather intriguing." Epimenides rub his chin. "And yet. It seems our paper counterparts have yet to arrived.
"Hmm... Perhaps they're dead... or perhaps lost." Cornelia guessed "What should we do, Your Excellency?"
Dry Bowser hummed until he notice a black aura coming from Chaos Rean, gritting his teeth in anger.
"Paper... versions... are... here?!"
"What's with him?" Shroob turn to the others.
"If I recall, he came from the Paper universe." Yuga answered. "And was soundly defeated by the Heroes from his version."
"Heh. Is that right." Elder Princess Shroob mused.
"Those wretched bastards are here... so... they followed me here have they?" Chaos Rean summons his Tachi of Chaos. "Then allow me to provide a welcoming reception!"
"You will do no such thing." Dry Bowser got up from his throne, causing Chaos Rean to turn to him.
"But sir!"
"Whether they follow you here or this is merely a coincidence. We must observe in the shadows and plan our next step. So you better not storm there. Do not forget you will do as you are told. Do I make myself, clear?"
"Nngh..." Chaos Rean grumbled as his Tachi of Chaos vanished. "Yes, sir."
"Good. Now, continue observation. I will go and see if there are Paper counterparts of ourselves out there. Actually, Medusa, I believe I require your assistance with that matter." Dry Bowser said
"Very well." Medusa said.
"The rest of you continue whatever you want, but remember to stay until here until further notice. Shroobs. I believe Epimenides has readied the simulation for you."
"Very well. We needed to make sure we haven't lost our touch." Princess Shroob said.
"Ganondorf, I believe Cornelia has something to discuss with you involving the Secret Stone replica." Dry Bowser said
"Excellent." TOTK Ganondorf smirked.
"Have the scouts continue to observe. Speaking off, where is King Boo?"
"Last I heard he and Dimentio are planning something and making a new powerful crown." Yuga answered
"Very well. Dismissed everyone." Dry Bowser said as they all went their separate ways while Chaos Rean did not take it likely.
"Tch. I will not stand for this." Chaos Rean clench his fist. "I am more than capable of crushing them. And I will kill them both. Along with the rest of them too! Mark me words, you'll see!" Chaos Rean then teleported away.
Welcome, everyone to the Paper Jam story! Is anyone excited about it? I know I am!
