CHAPTER 14: THE TERRIBLE TWILIGHT
Narrator (from last chapter): Last time, Larry and Co. made it to Rayman’s world, where Rabbids took away Kamek and P.T. The remaining heroes then teamed up with Rayman and went to get the Leptys Scepter from the Desert of the Knaaren to protect the Heart. But they got separated from Petey and King Boo in a detour to the Bog of Murk. When they finally made it, Larry eventually had to fight the knaaren champ, Reflux, and won with Petey and King Boo’s assistance. Meanwhile, Kamek and P.T. were entertaining the Rabbids when Razorbeard, Mr. Dark, and a twilit Serguei attacked. But P.T., with help from new partner Torpedo Ted, schooled them and followed the enemy trail. They defeated Razorbeard but lost Kamek to the twilight made by the revived Zant. Will the heroes reunite? *inhales* Tune in!
Larry: That was long.
Meanwhile…
Andre’: AAHH! THEY DEFEATED RAZORBEARD!
Voice: Who’s that?
Andre’: Oh, hi Zant.
P.T.: Zant?!
Torpedo Ted: Who?
Zant: Ah, the… person. The only one I remember is the one with the Mohawk.
Torpedo Ted: Seriously, who is this?
P.T.: I don’t know, some pinhead.
Zant: THE KING OF TWILIGHT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I’m guessing someone put my helmet on a body. I enchanted my helmet so if it’s put on anybody after I die, I could be revived and takeover the body. So here I am!
P.T.: … Oops.
Zant: Die!
Torpedo Ted: Run!
P.T. and Torpedo Ted jump over the edge and into the twilit forest. Meanwhile, we see the others have made it out of the Knaaren Caves.
Larry: So how do we get to the Fairy Council from here?
Rayman: Well, we have to go through Clearleaf Forest. The only way to get there is-
Purple: A teensie highway?
Rayman: Precisely.
Larry: Last time we used one of those, we didn’t do so well.
Rayman: Good point.
Petey: I know!
Petey eats Larry and Purple, but makes sure not to swallow them.
King Boo: Now, quick! Hop on his head and tell him where to go!
Rayman: Uh… okay.
Rayman gets on his head and he tells Petey where to go. King Boo follows. Eventually, they make it. But…
Petey: *spits Larry and Purple out* Huh?!
Larry: That is the last tim- AHH!
Purple: The horror!
King Boo: I can’t look! It’s a-
All 4: WALL OF TWILIGHT!
Rayman: Huh?
Larry: But I don’t understand! How is it here?
Rayman: Twilight? Can you explain?
Larry: It’s a dark power that can change your form. It’s very dangerous.
Suddenly, 5 hands pull the heroes in. In the twilight, twilit messengers have grabbed our heroes. But suddenly, the heroes take a different form! And that somehow beats the messengers. Unlike before, the heroes transform into something different. Here’s how it goes:
Normal:
Twilight:
Larry
Yellow lion cub (with blue mane and still has shell)
Petey
Elasto Piranha (still with petals)
Purple
Buzzy beetle (with purple shell)
King Boo
Chair
Grodus
Skull
Rayman
Fox (with Rayman’s head and still no limbs)
Kamek
Frog (with glasses)
P.T.
Black and white version of himself
T. Ted
Banzai Bill
Rayman: Oh… AAAHHHH!!! Larry, what happened to you?
Larry: What do you- HOLY GUACAMOLE! LOOK AT YOURSELF!
Purple: Oh- AHH!!! YOU BOTH LOOK WEIRD! Here, look at your reflections on my shiny new shell to see for yourself.
Larry and Rayman see their reflections.
Both: AHHH!!!
Petey: At least my new form isn’t that weird. Hey, what’s that skull?
Skull: I’m Grodus. Put me back in your shell.
Larry: I don’t have thumbs, though.
Petey: I’m still able to. I don’t need this pipe, though.
He hops out of his pipe and puts Grodus in Larry’s shell.
Purple (with axe in mouth): Wait, where’s King Boo?
Larry: I don’t know, but I’m tired.
He goes and lies down in a chair.
Chair: Get off!
Petey: Ah! That chair has been magicked! Burn it! Burn it!
Chair: I’m actually King Boo.
Others: Oh.
Meanwhile…
P.T.: We may have foolishly jumped into twilight from an airship, but at least we landed on this nice tree!
Torpedo Ted: Yeah. Hey, you’re monochrome!
P.T.: And you’re a Banzai Bill.
Torpedo Ted: We must be in twilight form. But we’re used to it from being in Crazy Koopa and E-Man’s comic.
P.T.: So how do we get out of this tree?
Torpedo Ted: How about we just jump and aim for that pond down there?
P.T.: That’s the worst idea ever! Why not just jump and aim for the pond down there?
Torpedo Ted: …
Meanwhile…
Kamek: Ugh, what happened? And where are my glasses?
He sees them.
Kamek: Oh.
He puts them on and sees his reflection in a pool.
Kamek: AAAHHH!!! I’M A FROG!
Suddenly, twilit robot pirates surround him.
Kamek: Hmm. Ha!
He turns all the pirates into twilit Marching Mildes, without his wand. The Twilit Mildes screech.
Kamek: Blah, blah, blah.
He eats them.
Kamek: Now to continue with my agenda.
Nerd (off-screen): AGENDA!
Another Nerd (off-screen): Hey, I want to say it! AgEnDa!
First Nerd (off-screen): No! That was lame! Now we must go find a different reptile to worship. That snake didn’t work out.
Kamek: Weird…
Kamek shoots a spell at himself, and he becomes normal! He then summons a portal and enters. All without his wand. The portal then closes. After that, Larry and Co. are on the scene.
Larry: I could’ve sworn I just heard Kamek.
Petey: I heard Kamek could’ve sworn.
Purple: What?
Petey: I don’t know.
King Boo: Does anyone know how I’m moving, talking, and breathing exactly?
Rayman: Not really.
Larry: So Rayman. With this scepter, how exactly are we going to protect the heart?
Rayman: We use it to get into the council. But with this twilight, I don’t know if we should go on like this.
Purple: Well, we don’t know how to fix it.
Meanwhile…
Andre’: So now what? Mr. Dark is trapped in the School Zone, another dimension where it’s just a school floating in nothingness, and Razorbeard exploded.
Zant: Easy. We go down to the heart and I’ll jab my staff into it, making it a Twilight Heart, and we’ll rule this world!
Andre’: Okay. Uh, by the way, what exactly happens to people who go down there?
Zant: Heroes become some random thing and enemies take on a black and red-pink color scheme. And NPC’s are ghosts. I’m a twili, so I can’t be affected. If you stick with me, you won’t be affected either.
Andre’: Fine, but what should we do next?
Zant: We’ll lower the ship into the twilight covering Clearleaf Woods.
Andre’: We should have an advantage, because the Fairy Council is in Clearleaf Woods.
The ship lands and Zant shoots a quick spell at Andre’ to prevent him from being twilit. They then get off their ship. Meanwhile…
Torpedo Ted: I wonder where Kamek is.
P.T.: I don’t kn- Woah!
Torpedo Ted: I can’t believe it! It’s that airship!
P.T.: Cool! Maybe we can find the others with it!
They board the ship and find the cockpit.
P.T.: Oh great. It’s a stick shift. I can’t drive a stick.
Torpedo Ted: Neither can I.
P.T.: Oh well. We’ll just use autopilot!
He presses a button. The ship then starts moving! They then fly it into the distance. Meanwhile…
King Boo: Guys, look! It’s Zant and some black thing!
Larry: Zant? He’s alive?
Purple: That would explain the twilight.
Rayman: And he has Andre’ with him! But he didn’t transform.
King Boo: That staff must be the reason why.
Petey: Doesn’t that look like Grodus’s staff?
Grodus (coming out of Larry’s shell): Let me see… Oh my DAD, it is! I’ve read about that power! He’s enchanted his helmet! Someone must’ve put it on my body when we left! And he changed it into his own! I have no body to return to!
Purple: But wasn’t it shutting down anyway?
Grodus: Oh yeah.
Larry: We have to get that staff if we want to return to normal. Go!
Larry, Petey, Purple, King Boo, and Rayman charge towards Zant.
Andre’: Zant, look out!
Zant: Die!
He traps the heroes in a portal with 5 twilit messengers.
Rayman: What?
Larry: Guys, if one is left alone, it’ll revive the others, so we need to kill them all at once!
Larry goes around in his shell, as does Purple (but Purple’s head sticks out so he can use the axe). The messengers die.
Zant: Grr! You shall-
Zant gets knocked into the distance by the ship that now lands on Andre’, crushing him. Larry then picks up the staff and de-twilights the whole forest.
P.T.: Hi guys! Meet our new partner! But respect him, because-
Torpedo Ted: I’m a torpedo!
Larry: Lemmy told me about you.
Torpedo Ted: Oh?
Larry: Yeah. P.T., where’s Kamek?
P.T.: I don’t know. Who’s the other guy?
Rayman: I’m Rayman, the hero of this world.
Purple: We should probably explain what happened, while we were all separated.
2 explanations (one for each party) later…
Torpedo Ted: So which way is this heart?
Rayman: We should probably keep going north.
Meanwhile…
Zant: Urgh… Hey! My staff is gone! I remember being hit my… Razorberd’s ship! Those fools that defeated Mr. Dark and Razorbeard must’ve been piloting! But there’s no way any of them could drive a stick… They must’ve put the ship on autopilot. I’ve got to get to the heart first!
He disappears into a twilight portal. Meanwhile…
Rayman: We’re here!
Larry: How do we enter?
Rayman: We just punch the fist plate to open the door.
Rayman does that. Inside, they eventually find the heart.
Purple: Now what?
Suddenly, Zant appears.
Zant: This will be a twilight world after all!
Suddenly, Mr. Dark appears!
Mr. Dark: I’m back! I graduated!
Larry: Uh oh.
Zant: Destroy them! But first…
He takes the staff from Larry and leaves.
Mr. Dark: Die!
Rayman: Hey, you, Razorbeard, and Andre’ were all main villains in my games, but you were never the final bosses! You had some beast, Razorbeard had a robot, and Andre’ used Reflux.
Mr. Dark: Oh yeah?
Torpedo Ted: Larry, Purple, King Boo, Rayman! Go after Zant! We can handle him!
P.T.: Yeah!
Larry: Let’s go!
Rayman: We have to hurry!
Mr. Dark: Now it’s just me and you three.
P.T.: I just learned a new trick this morning! Super Fist of the Nose Hair: Time for French Toast!
P.T. eats French toast and chews it up. Petey then grabs him and holds him like a rifle and launches the chewed-up French toast at Mr. Dark.
Mr. Dark: Ew…
Torpedo Ted: Torpedo Away!
Torpedo Ted rams into Mr. Dark while he’s distracted.
Mr. Dark: Ouch!
While he falls to the ground, Petey positions himself so Mr. Dark will land in his mouth. He does and Petey swallows him.
P.T.: Now let’s go help the others!
Petey: Yeah!
Meanwhile…
Zant: Now to just stick this staff into the Heart and-
Larry: Don’t think so!
Zant: You!
He summons a barrier to lock them in with 7 twilit messengers.
Purple: I’m going to need a bigger axe.
King Boo tries to faze through the barrier, but it doesn’t work.
Rayman: There must be too much twilight!
The others rush in.
Torpedo Ted: You can’t infect the Heart, because… I’M A TORPEDO! Torpedo Whirlwind!
He uses a small whirlwind to blow the staff towards the wall.
Petey: Guys, we’ll distract Zant while you beat the black thingies. But hurry!
Rayman punches one a lot, while Purple slices one in half. Larry volleys a ball into one, and causes it to choke on the ball. King Boo then possesses one to kill all the rest.
Zant: Die!
He shoots dark beams at P.T., Petey, and Torpedo Ted, turning them into their twilight forms, and does the same to the others. He floats towards the heart but P.T. hits him with the Megaton Hammer.
P.T.: My twilight form is just a recolor! So there!
Zant bops him on the head with his staff to knock him out.
P.T.: (losing consciousness) Never mind.
Larry: Die!
Larry shells himself into Zant and the others do the same sort of thing, except for King Boo.
King Boo: Uh, can someone help me?
Zant manages to get them all off him and quickly jabs the staff into the Heart. It gets a twilit color scheme.
Grodus: NO!
The Heart disappears
and the world fades. The party falls into a void. And they die, too. Seriously.
CHAPTER 15: THE AWFUL AFTERGAMES
Larry, Petey, and King Boo wake up in a cavern of some sort.
Larry: Ugh… Huh?
He sees an odd creature walk by.
Larry: AHHH!!!
Petey: Huh? What- AHHHHHHHHHH!!!
King Boo: AAAHHH!!!
They see Shaydes all around!
King Boo: We’re in the Underwhere!
Petey: …
Larry: No comment.
King Boo: No, we got a Game Over! The author hasn’t played the game yet, but from what he’s put together, bad people go to the Underwhere when they get a Game Over!
Larry: Well we ARE villains. At least in our case. Petey seems more like an unredeemed prankster or something.
Petey: Fine with me. But where’s Kamek, P.T., Purple, and Torpedo Ted?
Larry: I don’t know about Kamek, but P.T., Purple, and Torpedo Ted never really struck me as bad guys…
King Boo: So they must be in the Overthere!
Larry: We have to get out of here!
Petey: What for? Zant destroyed a world, so we failed! I say we just sit back and relax for the rest of eternity in the Underwhere!
King Boo: He has a point.
Larry: No! This place gives me the creeps!
King Boo: Where’s Grodus?
Petey: Well, after Paper Mario 2 he went good, so he’s probably in the Overthere now. By the way, why aren’t we Shaydes?
Larry: Maybe it depends on how long you’re here.
Shayde: Hey! I got a Game Over running from a Chomp in 5-1 in Yoshi’s Island DS! What are you in for?
Petey: Who cares? Now how does one get to the Overthere?
Shayde: Well, you want to continue along the Underwhere Road and go up the Overthere Stair. Just keep going east to get there. But watch out for Bonechill and the Underchomp. At least that’s what the author thinks.
Larry: Thanks, creepy stranger!
Shayde: Can I come with you?
Larry: No.
Shayde: Please?
Larry: Fine. Do you have a name?
Shayde: Shade.
Petey: … That was dumb.
Shade: Who cares?
Charold: Free ride across the River Twygz! Only four coins!
King Boo: You said it was free!
Charold: I lied!
King Boo pushes him into the water.
Shade: Don’t you know what happens to the people who go in there?
King Boo: No.
Shade: Neither do I, that’s why I asked.
They get on the boat and it starts moving.
Petey: Are we there yet? Repeat line until Larry gets annoyed.
Larry: … What?
Petey: Oh, I was just reading the teleprompter that’s being held by that Lakitu that’s been floating in front of us for the whole FF.
Shade: You’re not supposed to do that, moron!
Petey: Don’t make me push you into the river!
Shade: (doing jumping jacks) Yes, master!
Petey: That’s more like it!
Shade: Not you, the Hypno Toad!
Petey turns to
see this guy on the water: 
Petey: You want me to do what? Okay.
Petey pulls out a straw and drinks out of the river. He faints.
Larry: I remember him. His show has been going downhill since season eight.
The ship gets to the end and they have to get off. They then find a purple Shy Guy. Oh, and Petey’s up again.
Shy Guy: My name is Substitute Guy! I’m substituting for the guy in charge here! Now fight my minion!
Underchomp (Red Head): Die!
Underchomp (Blue Head): Die!
Underchomp (Gold Head): Who wants cookies?
Other Heads, Petey, King Boo, and Shade: COOKIES!
One cookie break later, an RPG Battle ensues:
Larry: 290/290
King Boo: 200/200
Shade: 200/200
Vs.
Red Head: 300/300
Blue Head: 250/250
Gold Head: 250/250
Larry uses “Pebble Volley” on Blue Head! 20 damage!
King Boo uses “Bomb that was used against Luigi” on Red Head! 20 damage!
Shade uses “Mary had a little lamb”! Underchomp falls asleep! Loses next turn!
Larry: 290/290
King Boo: 200/200
Shade: 200/200
Vs.
Red Head: 280/300
Blue Head: 230/250
Gold Head: 250/250
Larry uses “Ground Pound” on the post! The Chomps are free!
King Boo uses “Roll”. He rolls the Chomps into the River Twygz!
The Underhands use “Pull down to doom” on the Underchomp. All remaining HP lost!
Larry, King Boo, Shade, and the Underhands win!
Battle Over!
Substitute Guy: … That was dumb. But legit! You can pass!
Group: Happies!
Meanwhile…
Purple: Ugh… Where are we?
P.T.: Hmm… I’d say we’re back in Nimbus Land.
Purple: More like Coin Heaven.
Torpedo Ted: I know where we are, because- I’M A TORPEDO! We’re in the Overthere!
Purple: Good for you. You get a cookie.
Torpedo Ted eats a cookie. BTW, the three of them are still in normal form, too.
Purple: But why aren’t we Nimbis?
P.T.: Maybe it depends on how long you’re here.
A cloud thing (Luvbi) rams into Torpedo Ted, knocking him out.
Luvbi: Get out of the way!
P.T.: Wait, though I haven’t played the game, aren’t you guys supposed to be speaking in some pseudo-medieval language?
Luvbi: We gave it to Stuffwell.
Purple: That explains a lot.
Luvbi: Now get out of the way, big nose!
Purple: … Was that supposed to be an insult?! In case you’re blind, I have no nose!
Luvbi: Whatever, No-Nose.
Purple: …Oh that’s it!
Purple is about to slice Luvbi in two, when she just rams into him and knocks him down.
P.T.: Super Fist of the Nose Hair: Infinite Armor!
He’s now covered in orange crates. Luvbi tries to knock him down to get past.
P.T.: Can’t knock me down! I’m wearing orange crates!
Luvbi: They’re only cardboard!
She just flies over him and down the Overthere Stair. The others get up.
Purple: That was dumb.
An old Nimbi comes.
Grambi: Have you seen my daughter?
Purple: You mean
this? 
Grambi: Yep!
Purple: Downstairs.
Grambi floats down the Overthere Stair. He then comes flying back up in a hurry.
Grambi: Fly, fly away!
P.T.: But we can’t fly! Except Torpedo Ted. Kind of.
He was running from the ghost, plant monster, and weird-looking Koopa ascending the Overthere Stair. But that’s just King Boo, Petey, and Larry.
Purple: Ha ha! You guys weren’t good enough to get sent here!
Torpedo Ted: I was good enough, because… I’M A TORPEDO!
King Boo: Well goody for you. Wait, if this is the good aftergame, where’s DAD?
DAD: Oh, just go on with your business.
King Boo: … Okay. Well, we met a new friend! Come on out, Shade!
Shade comes out and is a blue Shy Guy!
Larry, Petey, and King Boo: 0_0
Shade: What? Yeah, I was a Shy Guy before I died.
Larry: Okay. What exactly did you do to have to go to the Underwhere?
Shade: I stole from the poor and gave to the rich. I thought I’d emulate my idol, Robin Hood! But NOOO!
Purple: Actually, he stole from the RICH to give to the POOR.
Shade: … D’oh!
Luvbi comes flying back up in fear.
Petey: What was that about?
Suddenly, a skeletal dragon thing on a cannon flies up from the Underwhere!
Party: Oh boy…
P.T.: Maybe he’s friendly!
He then freezes off the entrance to the Underwhere.
Larry: Maybe you’re stupid!
Shade: He likes to attack people who escape the Underwhere.
King Boo: Then why’d he freeze off our exit?
Shade: So he can kill you.
King Boo: But aren’t we already dead?
Shade: Oh, you can die again. Don’t ask how.
Bonechill: DIE!!!
He lowers down to eat them. But Torpedo Ted flies right into his mouth and explodes in the ribcage. It has no effect, and Bonechill now shoots Torpedo Ted out of his cannon that collide with the party. He then eats them all. In his stomach, Purple is chopping at Bonechill’s spine in an attempt to break the beast, though he seems to not know that they’d have a better chance at freedom if he chopped the top part off so that the ribcage would drop so they could get out from where the neck should be.
P.T.: You guys just had to come to the Overthere and spoil our good aftergame, didn’t you?!
King Boo: Well while we’re dead, Zant is probably ready to destroy even more worlds!
Larry: Why can’t you just faze us out of here, anyway?
King Boo: Because I’m dead.
Purple succeeds, and the lower half of the spine (with the cannon) falls to the ground. Bonechill screams in pain, and starts flying around crazily, making the heroes have to hold on to something.
Luvbi: Wow, you guys are good.
P.T.: Where’d you come from?
Luvbi: Oh, I started flying away but then thought it’d be more fun to watch you seven get eaten by Bonechill.
Larry: Is there any way you can help us?
Purple: But I just got him cut in half!
Shade: I don’t get it, though. He got us! So why is he still here?
Luvbi: He’s going to digest you into his cannon and launch you into the Vortex of Doom in the River Twygz.
Torpedo Ted: But Purple got rid of the cannon.
Luvbi: Then what’s that following Bonechill?
They all turn to see the cannon’s wheels start moving, following Bonechill. The spine then reattaches.
P.T.: Well that’s not good.
The spine then retracts, and the cannon half is now in the air again.
Bonechill: Time for you eight to die!
Luvbi: He knows I’m here!
Torpedo Ted: Now you have to help because- I’M A TORPEDO!
Petey: What does that have to do with it?
Luvbi: Fine, I’ll help just as long as it gets rid of him!
Luvbi grabs Purple,gets him out of the ribcage/stomach/”prison cell” that the “heroes” are trapped in, and flies him up in front of Bonechill’s face.
Bonechill: Oh, the little Nimbi thinks she can beat me!
Purple: Uh, what about me?
Bonechill: I thought you were some oddly-shaped foot growth. And she doesn’t even have feet.
Purple: … Die!
He tries to freeze Luvbi and Purple, but Luvbi flies them around to the other side and Purple hacks away at Bonechill’s neck.
Bonechill: AAHH!
He turns around and eats Purple! The axe drops, and Purple is in the stomach again.
Shade: What happened? I blinked and missed it.
Purple: …
P.T.: Ooh! My turn!
Larry: No, you’ll just mess it up!
Luvbi grabs Larry and pulls him out, as Larry grabs the falling axe. He finishes what Purple started. Bonechill’s head is severed and falls to the ground, causing the body to drop… into the Vortex of Doom!
Party: AAHHH!!!
They all head into the cannon (the body that’s spiraling into the vortex is sideways) and a convenient Underhand pulls the fuse and the heroes are launched from the cannon and back up to the Overthere, where Larry and Luvbi are waiting.
Torpedo Ted: That solves one problem! Now how do we stop Zant?
Purple: We don’t! We died! There’s no stopping him now!
Luvbi: Well actually, I can bring you all back to life. But for that, I have to come with you! My parents are too overprotective.
P.T.: As in?
Flashback!
Luvbi is flying and Grambi quickly flies by and throws a ladybug into the distance.
Grambi: You could’ve tripped over that ladybug and fallen flat on your face!
Luvbi: But I was flying over it. And I’m physically big enough to not trip over bugs. And the ground is just clouds! How would it hurt?
Grambi: Don’t question things you cannot understand!
Flashback Over!
P.T.: … That’s just messed up.
Larry: Fine, but you have to join us on our adventure if you want to be free.
Luvbi: Fine. Helping you guys fight Bonechill is the most fun I’ve had since I somehow became a Nimbi again, anyway.
Larry: But one last question! Why didn’t I see my dad in the Underwhere, and where are Grodus and Kamek?
Luvbi: I don’t know who those people are.
So Luvbi makes a portal, and the heroes will now come back to life.
