Previously with Larry, he discovered that he must search for the 11 Orbs, and found the Cobalt Orb in Hollijolli Village with Slim Bankshot’s help. He then headed to Rogueport Island for further instructions. With frequent Dodo encounters, their quest wasn’t so easy. Finally they set off for Super Mini Mario World to find the Mini Orb. But will they succeed?
Chapter 16: March of the Larry
Larry: We sure got to the outside of Super Mini Mario World fast.
Grak: Slim, look what I made!
Slim: It’s a stone, Grak. You didn’t make it!
Grak: OBJECTION! It’s a football! I chiseled it!
Larry: Shut up! We’re here, like I said! Anyone know how to get inside?
Grak raises his hand.
Larry: WITHOUT getting caught by the guards?
Grak: Derr-duh-derr!
Larry: …
Slim: I thought we agreed that I would phase us through the wall!
Larry: Oh yeah. Okay.
They sneak over to the side of the building and Slim phases them in. They’re in the lobby, which shockingly is empty.
Larry: Okay, there are eight floors and four of us. Each of us should split up and look for the Mini Orb.
Green: I bet it’ll be on the roof.
Larry: I bet not!
Grak: I call the first two floors!
Larry: Second!
Slim: Third!
Green: D’oh!
#1 First Floor – Mushroom Mayhem
Grak goes through and picks up a Mini Shy Guy.
Grak: Hey, I’ve been wanting one of these!
Grak puts it in his shell and keeps walking, then gets squished by a Mini Thwomp.
Grak: Ow! It’s plastic! How can it hurt as much as stone?!
Mini Thwomp: You didn’t make it!
Grak: Shut up!
Grak’s flat-as-a-pancake shell waddles out from under the Thwomp and makes it as far as possible. Then he un-flattens himself.
Grak: Not here. I guess I’ll try the next one.
#2 Second Floor – Tropical Island
Grak: Not bad. It’s so relaxing I think I’ll… Zzzzzz…
He’s fallen asleep.
#3 Third Floor – Pipe Works
Larry keeps going through pipes. He comes out of a pipe and into a pool of water. When he comes up from underneath, he spits water out and his hair’s messed up.
Larry: Oh no, my hair! … So that’s how girls feel.
A platform rises under Larry, carrying him up to the ceiling.
Larry: Aaah!
He gets off the platform before he’s flattened. He’s on another one that’s going down into a Mini Blooper area.
Larry: Woah!
He jumps off and into a pipe that takes him to the end.
Larry: Phew, I don’t care if it’s in here, I’m not going through this place again!
#4 Fourth Floor – Magnet Mania
Larry: Seems pretty quiet in here.
Larry’s wrists and neck are suddenly clinging to the floor.
Larry: Ack! The metal spikes on my spiky collar and my wristbands are sticking to these powerful magnets!
In fact, the magnets are so strong that it’s messing up my compuAKJFIPAMPIWEOGTJIAG239852-
The End
…
Wait, the computer’s starting back up!
#5 Fifth Floor – Lava Dome
Slim is flying around and finds the Mini Orb under some lava. It looks like some kind of green, glass bubble.
Slim: There it is!
Slim phases through the lava and tries to pick it up, but a Blazing Shroob jumps into the pool of lava, grabs the Orb, and runs off.
Slim: Wait!
Slim chases after the Blazing Shroob all the way to the next level.
#6 Sixth Floor – Toadstool Castle
The Blazing Shroob leaves a trail of fire, burning the whole area of the park.
Slim: Wait! … Hmm, it sure is dangerous for the Mini Marios here. Why would they build a theme park to be so dangerous?
Moving on…
#7 Seventh Floor – Spooky Attic
Green: Okay, let’s see… Where could it be?
Mini Boo: BOO!
Green: AAAAHHH!!!
Green pulls out a saber and slices the toy ghost.
Green: Oh wait… Oops. Well, can’t undo that. Let’s see, where could it be?
The Blazing Shroob runs by, knocking Green over.
Green: Hey! … Wait, he has the Mini Orb!
Green gets up in time for Slim to fly by and knock him back down.
Green: Why?!
He gets back up.
Green: Wait for me!
Green gets up but a Mini Scuttlebug lands on his head, causing Green to run around and scream until he hits a wall.
#8 Eighth Floor – Jungle Hijinks
Blazing Shroob sets the whole jungle atmosphere on fire as he goes through, but Slim doesn’t care. Green however is having a hard time getting across with all the fire, pits, spikes, and whatnot.
Green: Wait!
#R Roof
Slim and Green make it to the roof, where Dodo is waiting. The Blazing Shroob next to him hands over the Mini Orb and two Sidesteppers are holding a tied up Larry and Grak.
Larry: Darn crabs caught me while I was magnetically attached to the ground!
Grak: I fell asleep.
Larry: Told you it wasn’t on the roof!
Green: Stop rubbing it in or I won’t free you!
Green frees Larry and Grak.
Larry: Dodo, we can’t let you have that Mini Orb! And we also have no idea how you managed to suddenly come here when you were looking for those fake chips!
Dodo: I thought this was the store! Now die!
Green: Can’t he just run off with it and not fight us?
Dodo: Then I couldn’t get the other one you have!
Slim: When’d you get smart?
Dodo: I didn’t! Die!
Green: Guys, how can we beat him? He kept winning!
Larry: That was for dramatic effect! This time he’s ours!

Everyone: Ow…
Chapter 17: The Head Thief Gives Grief
Larry and “friends” explored Super Mini Mario World in an attempt to find the Mini Orb, but Dodo came at the last minute and was going to lose it in a fight against Larry so he ran off. Unfortunately he’s smart enough to know how the Orb works so now he’s headed to the next Orb’s location! Where is it though? And why on Plit did Dodo team up with a burning alien and two crabs?
Larry and friends follow Dodo’s tracks to Booster Tower. Only there’s a sign on the front.
Grak: What does it say?
Larry: “Sigil Securities HQ”… What’s with all the Wario villains in this story?!
Larry tries to open the door, but…
PA: Please deposit all your money.
Larry: Grumble, grumble, grumble.
Larry puts all his money in the cup that a robot arm is holding. He tries to open the door again.
PA: Your friends too.
Grak, Green, and Slim hand over all their money.
PA: Now leave before we release the Chain Chomps.
Larry: WHAT?!
Larry grabs Green and uses him to break down the door, and they all barge in.
Koopatrol: Eeek!
Larry: No, just hand over the big bird in the metal helmet and we will leave!
???: Now what?!
Carpaccio, some thief guy from a Wario game, appears.
Carpaccio: Oh great, you’re the guys that intern told me about.
Larry: We just want the Orbs for power!
Carpaccio: … You’re really not that bright. You don’t think I know what these things do? Of course I do! Now get out of my tower or else I’ll run you over with my fabulous car!
Grak: Uuuh! Larry, why can’t we get a fabulous car?!
Larry: (sarcastically) Okay Grak! Just let me put all our money together- Oh wait, we don’t have any left!
Carpaccio: Yeah, clever idea taking money from anyone who wants to visit the tower, huh?
Larry: I don’t care! Just give us the Orbs that Dodo collected!
Carpaccio: So you figured out he works for me?
Larry: Well since he ran here and you called him your intern and you’re apparently head thief, then yes! Yes I did figure it out! Now hand over the Orbs!
Carpaccio: I don’t think so. You need to know three things. One: I am the greatest thief. Two: You are a loser. Three: I have a real great car.
Green: Will you please knock it off with the car already?! You’re making Grak foam at the mouth… It’s kinda creepy.
Carpaccio: Said the little Shy Guy cosplaying as a pirate.
Green: I AM a pirate!
Larry: Enough trash talk! We fight!
Carpaccio: Okay. Money Power… Billion Dollar Bazooka!
A giant cannon drops down and Carpaccio catches it and holds it up. It then forcefully shoots a billion dollars at the party.
Carpaccio: While you’re freeing yourselves from my rain of riches, I’ll be getting the last nine Orbs now. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention– When you weren’t looking I stole yours! Bye!
Carpaccio’s great car pulls up, driven by the Koopatrol, and he hops in shotgun.
Dodo: What about me?
Carpaccio: I don’t know! I don’t care anymore, you led them to our hideout, you idiot! You’re fired!
Carpaccio drives away.
Dodo: … I am bored…
Dodo goes over to the pile of money, reaches in, and pulls out Larry. Larry spits out dollars.
Larry: What now?
Dodo: Boss just insulted me! And he doesn’t care anymore! And I’m bored! Can Dodo help Larry?
Larry: Well… Okay, I guess.
Green bursts up from under the money.
Green: But Larry, why?
Larry: First, I’m bored. Second, he wanted to. And most importantly, he was super strong against us so he’ll be real effective against what’s-his-face. Now we gotta get him back for what he did to us!
Slim phases out of the money pile with Green.
Slim: I have an idea! Why not put this money to great use first?
Larry: … Great idea! I can use this money to fix up the Koopa Cruiser! I can even give it upgrades! To the castle! But first, how do we pick up all this clearly stolen money?
Green: And what happened to Booster and his group? You know, the people that actually live here?
Everyone ponders this. And that’s about all we’re gonna see from these guys without spoiling much of what’s ahead. Meanwhile…
Rudy: Well we already have four of the seven Crystal Hearts. Which one is next?
Violet: The Ruby Heart pointed to… the Crystal Palace from Paper Mario.
P.T.: So we must take this ship to Lethal Lava Land!
Rufus: That would be the opposite of where we need to go.
Kooper: I’ve been to the Crystal Palace, I know that place inside and out!
Daisy: Well “Mr. Expert”, care to tell us how to get there?
Kooper: It’s in Ice Land!
P.T.: It’s not icy there at all!
Kooper: Not the real Iceland, the Mario version!
P.T.: Riiiiiiight.
Everyone hits their foreheads with their hands as the Piranha Flyer heads to Shiver Mountain outside the Crystal Palace.
Kooper: Now we may not come back alive, so anyone have to go to the bathroom?
Everyone: No!
Rudy: … Yes…
One bathroom break later, everyone heads into the Crystal Palace.
Kooper: Now watch out, the reflections on the mirror can help you and hurt you!
Rufus: Uhhh, Koopeh?
Kooper: What? Oh Rufus…
Rufus stuck his tongue to a metal pole that somehow got inside.
Kooper: Why?
Rufus: I thaw my reflecthion do itth!
Kooper yanks Rufus’s tongue free, but some of the pole comes off with it, revealing a key that was in the pole. Rufus also removes the pole part from his tongue.
Violet: Woah, that’s weird.
Violet takes out the key and uses it to unlock the door ahead.
Violet: What?!
There’s a portrait of each of them on the wall ahead in this order from left to right: Violet, Rudy, P.T., Daisy, Rufus, Kooper
Daisy: How’d they know about us?
Rudy: Who cares, just look at the reflection!
In the reflection the order is the same.
Rufus: Wow, you noticed that something in a mirror looks exactly the same as what’s in front of it, how wonderful.
Rudy: Shut up!
Kooper: No wait, I think I know what this means!
Kooper rearranges all the pictures. In the mirror they’re the same but in reality they are now: Kooper, Rufus, Daisy, P.T., Rudy, Violet.
Kooper: Now it’s completely backwards from the mirror.
Thus, the mirror lowers down to reveal a wall where the mirror was and a door.
Violet: That better be the end.
Kooper: I heard that ever since the Crystal King’s defeat – at the hands of yours truly – this place tends to change format, so maybe.
They pass through the door and reach an outside area. They walk over to find the Diamond Heart just lying in the open.
Violet: Phew!
Violet runs over to grab it but Carpaccio lowers down out of his wonderful helicopter on a ladder and snatches it.
Carpaccio: Ha! Nothing like a little theft on the side.
Violet: Who are you?
Carpaccio: My name’s Carpaccio. “Car” as in a car, which I have a-
Violet: Okay, whatever. We need that thing, so please just-
Carpaccio: Oh I don’t think so. I’m finding the Orbs, and this little baby’s gonna keep my pockets full until then.
Violet: No, you don’t understand. Haven’t you seen that void in the sky?
Carpaccio: Oh that? Pffft! When I get all the Orbs I can just get rid of that and then become the richest thief in the world!
Violet: I don’t care about your Orbs! I just want the Crystal Heart!
Carpaccio: Well that’s too bad. Now if you don’t mind-
One of Rufus’s eggs knocks Carpaccio off the ladder.
Koopatrol Pilot: Boss!
Carpaccio: Don’t worry about me. I’m going to make these people wish they hadn’t just done that. You go find the Orbs.
Koopatrol: Duuuuh, okay.
Koopatrol flies the wonderful helicopter away.
Carpaccio: Now… Billion Dollar Bazooka!
He pulls out the giant cannon.
Violet: Yikes!
Violet leaps out of the way and a billion dollars start flying toward the party.
P.T.: Ha! That’s chump change! I don’t get out of bed for less than a trillion!
P.T. holds up Rudy.
Rudy: WHAAAAAT?!
Rudy takes the billion dollars full blast.
P.T.: How dare you do that to little Rudy?! You will die!
P.T. throws Rudy at… a snowman.
P.T.: You know what you did!
Everyone: …
Carpaccio: Okay, since my money doesn’t scare you I’ll just do this.
Carpaccio removes his sunglasses and transforms into a weird bubble thing.
Weird Bubble Thing: HEAD HONCHO CARPACCIO!
Violet: …
Violet pops him and turns him back to normal.
Carpaccio: I will admit that was poor planning on my part. So instead…
Carpaccio removes his sunglasses again and turns into a Ninja! The kind from Super Mario RPG.
Carpaccio: Those turtles got nothing on me! Now we fight!
Carpaccio throws a knife at Violet but she chops it with her axe. Kooper tries to Shell Toss into Carpaccio, but he jumps over it and throws a star at the shell, causing it to go crazy and crash into a wall, complete with car sounds. He’s hit from behind with a red-spotted egg thrown by Rufus. While Carpaccio is caught off-guard, Rufus grabs him with his tongue, but Carpaccio then pokes the tongue with a knife and Rufus takes his tongue back.
Rufus: Owowowowowow!!!
Carpaccio then runs over to Rufus and beats him up, and then picks him up.
Daisy: Oh no you don’t!
Daisy punches Carpaccio in the face and Violet comes over and hits him with her axe, and P.T. comes and hits him with Rudy’s unconscious body. Carpaccio takes Rufus and swings him around, knocking them all away, and then throws Rufus into the wall where Kooper’s shell went.
P.T.: (He’s good, like no person we’ve faced before!) All right, ninja guy, since we can’t beat you in a fight, I’ll challenge you by comparing unusual photography!
P.T. shoves a photo in Carpaccio’s face. Carpaccio takes the photo and looks at it. It’s a picture of Merlon selling bombs on a magic carpet.
P.T.: Looks like we win!
Carpaccio: No.
Carpaccio pokes P.T. on a pressure point, knocking him out. Daisy’s soccer ball is about to hit him in the head but he smacks it back to Daisy, hitting her in the face and knocking her out.
Carpaccio: Well little girl, looks like it’s just us two.
Violet: I’m not little!
Violet charges toward Carpaccio with her axe. The thief in ninja form pulls out a nunchuk and counters every one of Violet’s axe strikes.
Carpaccio: Ha! It’s time for you to face the facts! A – I’m better than you. B – You are worse than me. C – I have a lot of money.
Violet: I don’t care!
Carpaccio: Well then, I’m done!
Carpaccio leaps back and throws a knife at Violet, but she blocks it with her axe. But while that happens he runs around to her backside and hits her in the back of the head with his nunchuks.
Violet: OUCH!
Carpaccio changes back to normal as Violet falls.
Carpaccio: Now with this treasure you wanted, I’m off.
Carpaccio leaps off the edge and over to his fabulous hot air balloon.
Violet: Ow…
Chapter 18: Revenge of Larry
Last time, Larry and friends followed Dodo to Sigil Securities HQ, where they met Carpaccio. They were beaten by his money and he went to collect the rest of the Orbs. He also fired Dodo, leaving Dodo to team up with Larry. Now they will fix up the Koopa Cruiser for revenge! Later Carpaccio beat Violet and friends too, so now they are after him too, especially now that he has the Diamond Heart. But will the two parties cross paths?
Larry, Grak, Green, Slim, and Dodo are all in the docking bay, admiring the Koopa Cruiser 2.0. It’s huge! It has a cannon on deck! And it’s just all around better!
Larry: Ha! Now with this baby at our disposal, we can crush that purple guy! But first, we’ll crush that purple girl that beat us up in that underwater palace!
Slim: Larry, do you really think that’s important?
Larry: Why not? Besides, we can get their stuff while we’re at it!
Slim: Okay!
Larry: Everyone onto the ship!
Everyone gets settled in. Slim, Green, and a Koopa Pilot are all in the helm.
Pilot: The ship’s core is absolutely normal.
Slim: Okay. Adjust the balancer!
Green: We should probably raise the anchor too.
Slim: And check the anti-gravity plant. Raise the sails!
Larry: The time has come! We’ll get revenge on that stupid thief with all his “fabulous” stuff! But first, we’ll get rid of Violet! We will be the only stars of this story! We’ll rule!
The Koopa Cruiser leaves the docking bay. Meanwhile in the Piranha Flyer…
Kooper: Good morning, Crono!
Violet: What?
Kooper: Nothing. Anyway, hey, you’re finally awake!
Violet: Wait, why am I always the last one to wake up?
Daisy: It’s in the book of RPG Laws.
Violet: Well if it’s a law then I guess… Wait, we need to get that Heart!
Rudy: Uh, I think we have bigger problems.
Rudy points to the window. Outside, the Koopa Cruiser is flying by.
Violet: Larry?! Oh great. I bet he’s gonna try to stop us! We’d better go stop him! Come on…
P.T. activates the Piranha Flyer and the ship heads toward the Koopa Cruiser. In the helm of the Koopa Cruiser, Green notices. In fact, lots of things will be happening as they talk. The Piranha Flyer approaches.
(Green: Uh oh, their ship is approaching!)
In the Piranha Flyer…
Violet: I’ll take care of everything, so you guys go after Picasso or whatever his name was… Actually on second thought, you’d better try to stick around for backup.
Everyone: Okay.
Kooper: Wait, I want to stay behind too!
Violet: Well I’ll probably need the help. Okay, but just stay out of the way!
Kooper: Okay!
(Pilot: Are they gonna do something?)
(Grak: Durr! They’re gonna try to stop us!)
(Slim: What do we do, Larry?)
(Larry: Everyone get into battle position!)
The Piranha Flyer drops off Violet and Kooper and then flies away.
Violet: Run for it!
Violet and Kooper run across the deck as Hammer Bros. chuck hammers at the two.
Kooper: In here!
They hop into a warp pipe.
(Green: They’re in the valve!)
(Slim: Yikes! Dodo, wherever you are, get into your position already!)
The valve pipe spits Violet and Kooper out behind the helm.
Kooper: That was convenient!
(Grak: Dodo, freaking crush them already! We didn’t let you team up with us for nothing!)
(Larry: Peck them into nothingness!)
(Green: We have a giant fan placed right where they are, maybe we can just blow them away?)
(Slim: Larry?)
(Larry: Well maybe the fall from the ship will kill them, so go ahead!)
Green turns the fan on and blows Violet, Kooper, and Dodo away. Except Dodo’s too heavy to be blown away. Violet and Kooper land in a river in the Shiver region that flows down to the ocean.
Violet: I can’t believe it…
It’s onscreen in the helm.
Green: All right, they’re all washed up!
Grak hits Green for the bad joke.
Grak: Anyway, that was close. Pie.
Slim: So now we’re good to stop Carpaccio?
Larry: Sure. But if we see that orange ship again, be sure to shoot it down!
Meanwhile, Violet and Kooper are washed up on the beach.
Kooper: Ow…
Violet: Ugh, we have to stop them before they stop us from getting revenge!
Kooper: That came out kind of awkward.
Violet: I know, but I don’t care anymore! We have to find a way back onto that ship.
Kooper: Hmm… We could go to Fahr Outpost and use the cannon again!
Violet: No.
Kooper: I’m out of ideas.
Violet: … I’m not! Hey, you!
A blue Yoshi appears.
Blue Yoshi: Yeah?
Violet: If you eat this Koopa’s shell will you give us a lift to that airship?
Blue Yoshi: Okay…
He eats Kooper’s shell (with Kooper in it) and grows wings. Violet gets on his back as the Yoshi flies them back toward the Koopa Cruiser.
(Green: They’re coming back!)
(Grak: Shoot them with the cannon!)
(Slim: Yes, let’s!)
The cannon shoots a laser at the Yoshi, and he spits out Kooper’s shell as the shell and Violet fall into Toadwood Forest and the Yoshi falls into the ocean.
Blue Yoshi: You’ll hear from my lawyer!
In Toadwood Forest…
Kooper: Come on!
Violet: Wait… I have an idea! Follow me!
Violet runs off but Kooper’s still lying there. Violet comes back and drags Kooper along. They head into the ruins of the Vim Factory.
Kooper: What’s in here?
Violet: Hopefully something we can use to get back to the Koopa Cruiser… Aha!
Violet finds an abandoned Shroob UFO.
Violet: Hop in, we’ll fly this back to the airship!
Kooper: Okay.
They hop in and fly back to the Koopa Cruiser. However a laser shoots down the UFO and it crashes on the deck.
(Green: Are we being attacked by Shroobs?!)
(Grak: No, worse! It’s Violet and that Koopa again!)
(Larry: Relax, what could they possibly do? We’re in a giant airship!)
(Grak: What’s that? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of Call of Duty 3.)
(Slim: I told you, no videogames in the helm!)
Hammer Bros: DIE AGAIN!
Violet: Oh boy…
Violet and Kooper run through the area again, avoiding all the hammers.
Kooper: Quick! Into the pipe again!
Violet: No, we can’t keep that up, they’ll just blow us away again! Let’s just keep going!
(Larry: Got you now!)
(Slim: Boy am I glad I got the long straw…)
Grak and Green appear.
Grak: I don’t want to do this!
Green: Too bad!
Violet: You guys?!
Kooper: Who?
Green: Charge!
Green charges toward Violet, but she just kicks him and he runs away.
Grak: Yeah… No…
Grak walks away. The two head back into the helm up ahead.
(Larry: HEY!)
(Pilot: Wow…)
Kooper: Who are they?
Violet: Some of Larry’s minions. We had a run in with Larry before. Long story.
(Grak: That was lame… Crud, they’re following our trail!)
(Slim: Well of course! It doesn’t matter, they’ll be stopped by our giant cannon!)
Violet and Kooper come up to the cannon. A wall of fire rises up on either side of the cannon, keeping them from reaching the helm.
(Grak: Wow.)
(Slim: They’ll be charred!)
(Pilot: Heh heh. This is my favorite part of the job. Despite the fact that the ship’s only been like this for not even a chapter.)
The cannon starts shooting lasers at Violet and Kooper.
Both: AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!
Kooper: What do we do now?
Violet: I don’t know! We need to dismantle it somehow! Or maybe…
Hammer Bro: Die!
Violet picks up the Hammer Bro and walks toward the cannon.
Hammer Bro: No! Wait! What are you doing?! Noooo! Wait, I was just kidding! I can hook you up with my friend, he’s just your type! Please no! No! NOOOOO!!!
Violet throws the Hammer Bro into the cannon as it charges a shot. His body clogs up the cannon and it shoots a laser, causing the cannon to explode. The blast sends Violet and Kooper to the left wing.
(Grak: WHAT ON PLIT?!)
(Slim: Holy cow!)
(Green: I didn’t think she had it in her! … Wait, what are they doing on the left wing?!)
Violet and Kooper are crawling along the left wing heading toward some kind of building that the wing is sticking out of. The building starts shooting lasers at the two.
(Slim: Stop, you’re hurting the wing!)
They make it to the building.
Violet: Okay, it looks like they realized that they can’t hurt us without destroying the wing. So I’ll try to chop it off. Meanwhile you keep any enemies at bay.
Kooper: Got it!
Violet starts chopping away as Magikoopas fly over to the area to stop her.
Kooper: No! Uhhhh… Aha!
Kooper pulls out a POW Block and that causes the wing to shake violently and start breaking.
Violet: Eek!
Violet and Kooper hurry into the building just in time for the wing to break off and fall into the ocean.
Violet: Kooper, watch it! Even though that did save us some time.
(Green: Oh no, the left wing snapped clean off!)
(Slim: Guuuuh?!)
(Grak: Now we’re tilting! I can’t play the videogame while the ship is tilting!)
(Slim: What’d I tell you?!)
(Larry: MEANWHILE BACK ON THE SHIP, THEY DECIDED TO INCREASE THE OTHER WING’S POWER AND LOWER THE SAIL!)
(Slim: Er, right.)
Violet and Kooper start navigating through the building. They’re going around vents in the ship.
(Green: They’re in the ducts!)
(Pilot: Are they lost?)
(Slim: This gives me an idea!)
Violet: I can hear radio signals. Are they talking about us in the helm?
Kooper: Who cares?
Violet and Kooper find themselves in the building where the other wing is sticking out.
(Slim: GO!)
(Green: Really?)
(Grak: You sure?)
(Slim: Hey, Larry made me the captain for a reason! Anyway, GO DODO!)
Dodo appears.
Dodo: DODO!!!
Dodo start running at Violet and Kooper.
Violet: Woah! Him again!
Kooper: We can take him!
(Slim: Get them!)
(Green: Are you sure he won’t mess up anything?)
(Slim: How? All the controls are in here!)
Dodo: DIE!
Dodo pecks the ground, making a hole and also making shockwaves. Violet and Kooper jump over them.
Kooper: Fire Shell!
Kooper’s Fire Shell hits Dodo in the stomach and he runs around on fire.
Dodo: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!
Dodo starts running around and setting the whole place on fire!
(Larry: DODO, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!)
Dodo runs past a sleeping Bulky Bob-omb right next to where the right wing starts, and lights its fuse.
(Green: Aw man, of all places for that guy to nap!)
(Grak: What was he even doing there?)
Bulky Bob-omb: What’s going o-
BOOM!
The whole right wing area blows up, leaving a big hole! Violet and Kooper are in an area under one of the vents they were crawling in.
Kooper: Ow.
(Grak: The whole right wing blew up! And a chunk of it broke through the window and broke the TV I was playing on!)
(Slim: That joke was only funny once! But now we’re balanced again.)
(Larry: … Something tells me Carpaccio won’t be scared by a ship that doesn’t have any wings! We’re just lucky we still have an engine!)
(Green: Good thing we have that core! Look at that! The wind’s getting stronger! They’re being blown out of the giant hole! We’ll be rid of them for good!)
It’s true;Violet and Kooper, along with some objects and minions, are blown out of the interior of the ship. However Violet manages to grab onto a landing skid and with her other hand she grabs Kooper. She has to hold her axe in her mouth.
Kooper: Phew, that was close.
(Slim: They’re on the bottom of the ship!)
(Pilot: Must be cold with all that wind.)
(Green: Yeesh, that’s high up!)
(Grak: I am NOT going down there!)
(Slim: Sheesh! It doesn’t matter anyway, we can’t do anything to her and her friend down there. The Magikoopas will take care of them though!)
Magikoopas: Attack!
Kooper: Uh oh!
Violet makes it to a circular vent under the Koopa Cruiser and lets go of a landing skid (there are more than two for some reason). She takes her axe out of her mouth and start attacking the vent so she can climb into the ship.
Kooper: Phew!
Magikoopas: Die!
Kooper uses Power Shell and knocks all of them out. They look around and realize that there are many doors ahead.
(Larry: Aha! You can’t tell which door is which, can you?!)
(Grak: They can’t hear you.)
(Larry: …)
Kooper: Which door is it?
Violet: I don’t know- Wait…
Violet notices a map on the wall. She uses the map to find out that the middle door leads to the Core.
Violet: How obvious…
(Larry: D’oh!)
Kooper: Hey, a treasure chest.
Many 1-Up Mushrooms are in there.
(Grak: MY SECRET STASH!!!)
(Slim: So YOU stole my Mushrooms!)
(Pilot: Mmm, 1-Up-ey…)
They approach the middle door.
(Green: What happens if they destroy the core?)
(Grak: Think about it.)
(Slim: It’s okay, they won’t discover the secret of the core!)
(Pilot: You sure?)
(Slim: I would hope so.)
They enter the core’s room. It looks like a glowing ball being held by two metal arms.
Kooper: Is that what’s powering the Koopa Cruiser?
Violet: I bet it is! But how do we stop it?
Kooper: I have an idea but it’s pretty bold.
Violet: Well?
Kooper goes over to the wall and presses the “Off” button.
Violet: Oh.
The core shuts down.
Violet: Well how do we make sure they won’t just turn it back on?
Kooper uses Power Shell and damages both arms, and they both blow up.
(Green: They turned off the core and then blew it up!)
(Grak: Durr!)
(Slim: We gotta do something!)
Violet: Quick! The map said that the stairs into the helm are right past the core!
They hurry up the stairs.
(Green: The core’s been shut down and we have no wings! We’re sunk!)
(Grak: It’s all over!)
(Larry: Dang it! Uh, listen up, I have an idea. ABANDON SHIP!)
(Slim: Waaaah! I’m out of here! I’m sorry, but this is just too much!)
Slim apparently leaves. You can see him fly away outside the window.
(Larry: Okay… Your turn!)
(Green: Wait, I want to try one more time!)
(Grak: And I’m bored!)
(Larry: Fine, but don’t blame me if you lose!)
They’re right outside the control room.
Grak: Stop!
Green: You can’t go on!
Violet pulls out her axe.
Violet: I don’t have time for this! We’re making sure you guys don’t get the treasure first! We’re stopping a void and we also don’t want you chasing our friends!
Kooper: Yeah!
Green: Void? Oh, that thing outside? That’s what it is… OH MY DAD IT’S THE VOID! RUN!
Grak: AAAAHHHH!!!
Green and Grak head to the escape pod.
(Pilot: Can I leave?)
(Larry: No!)
Violet: … That was weird.
Violet and Kooper head into the next room.
(Pilot: Th-thump!)
(Larry: Knock it off! Anyway, come on, Violet! Time to meet your doom!)
They’re in the control room.
Larry: Die!
Violet: Make us!
Larry tries Shell Toss on Violet, but she jumps out of the way and Kooper hits Larry’s shell with his own shell. This causes a shell fight.
Violet: And you?!
Pilot: I’m just here to operate the ship and I’m not allowed to leave.
Violet: Okay…
Violet leaps back into the fray as Larry’s shell overcomes Kooper’s. Violet leaps down and slashes at Larry, cutting off the tip of his Mohawk.
Larry: You messed up “The Hawk”! Now I won’t rest until I see you dead at the bottom of the sea!
Violet: Get a grip! We’re trying to save the world from the Void!
Larry: Well I just wanted to crush you before we got revenge on Carpaccio for beating us up! And you ruined it!
Violet: Huh? WE were getting revenge on him too! That means… Oh…
Larry: … Oh snap… EVERYBODY EVACUATE! Except you, Pilot! You have to stay!
Pilot: Dang it!
Kooper gets into his shell and Violet gets on it like it’s a skateboard. She then rides Kooper’s shell outside the escape tunnel with Larry’s shell close behind. They all go up a ramp and then land on something flying through the air. It’s the Piranha Flyer! Violet, Kooper, and Larry watch the Koopa Cruiser sink to the bottom of the ocean.
Larry: … Well… I have no ship! And no party! You ruined everything!
Kooper: Oops…
Violet: Well we could team up…
Larry: You think that after having a separate plot from you and fighting against you we should team up just like that?! … Okay.
Violet: All right guys, fly this thing to Carpaccio, we have a score to settle! All of us!
The Piranha Flyer heads in the direction the Koopa Cruiser was flying in.
Kooper: How can they even hear us anyway?
Larry: Who knows?
Violet: Wait, if you guys were here to catch us, why didn’t you do it earlier?!
Rudy: Uh, can’t hear you!
Violet: You could before!
