Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing another chapter to the fanfic! At last the time has come to conclude the Beanbean arc and being a stepping stone to the next arc, which I’d like to call the Glamour arc. By the way, I don’t own any of the Mario characters or the iDOLMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. So with that out of the way, let’s begin the next chapter!
*Opening Theme: “Unlimited World” (Luminous Arc 2)*
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 10
The End of the Ruins, Yoshi’s Recovery Concert for Iori!

*Beanbean Kingdom ~ Teehee Valley ~ Guffhawha Ruins ~ Hidden Ruins*
*Insert Theme: “The Adventure Ends” (Mario Party 3)*
The many whimsical adventures within Guffawha Ruins were nearing their end, following the Koopa bros.’ defeat at the hands of Iori Minase, the beloved tsudere Idol. Mario and Luigi were still in bewilderment over the very light from the Dimension Comet that not only saved her life, but helped her to make a miraculous comeback against the crazy turtle group. Nonetheless, it was time for the final results, with Prince Peasley, Goombella, and Kolorado hosting.
“Ladies and gentleman, dear Goombella, Prince Peasley and I have witnessed a truly eventful Party, and sad it is to say, all the turns have ended, so will now announce the final results of this extraordinary event! So, who, out of all eight of you,” looking at Yukiho, Makoto, Ryou, Iori, Wario, Waluigi, Shy Guy, and Birdo, “..will be today’s Super Star?’
Goombella waddled in and announced, “Prof. Kolorado and I tallied up the totals, so first, let’s take a look at everyone’s Stars!”
Apparently, due to the Chance Time earlier, Yukiho leads with 5 Stars, Birdo with 4 Stars, Makoto, Ryou, and Wario with 2 Stars, and Iori, Waluigi, and Shy Guy with 1 Star.
Peasley then stepped forward, “Ah ha ha ha! Also, if the game can’t be decided with Stars, then we’ll go by Coins! Everyone’s Coins look like this!”
To everyone’s surprise, Iori was leading by a moderate margin with 120 Coins, followed by Wario with 90, then Ryou with 86, then Birdo with 80, then Makoto and Yukiho tying with 65, then Birdo with 50, and at last Shy Guy with 35.
Kolorado then gave an announcement, “Before we can announce the Super Star, we must now announce the winners of three special rewards.”
“Special rewards??” Producer-san and Ritsuko asked together, question marks pretty much visible over their heads.
Mario turned to Producer-san and Ritsuko, “Oh, it’s-a understandable dat dis is your first-a time seeing dis, so I’ll explain. Da Special Rewards, da Game Star, da Coin Star, and da Happening Star, are-a achievements for special mentions, and each winna gets a free Star before da final results!”
“Geez, quit stealing my thunder, Mario! Prof. Kolorado, Peasley and I are supposed to do explanations here!” Goombella pouted, “Well, anyways, the first reward, the Game Star, goes to the player who won the most Coins in Mini Games.”
The mentioned eight wait in anxious anticipation.
“The Game Star goes to Yukiho Hagiwara!” Goombella announced as a Star flew to Yukiho’s hands.
Next it was Kolorado’s turn, “Next is the Coin Star, which goes to the intrepid player who has procured the most coins overall. And this Star goes to…. Ms. Iori Minase!”
The mentioned star flew to Iori without hesitation.
Peasley went next with the announcement, “And finally, the Happening Star. This peculiar reward goes to the player who, by chance, happened to stepped the ‘? Space’ the most times!”
Wario grumbled in such a quiet tone that no one other than Waluigi, who was close to him, “.Well, it’s a no-brainer who gets that Star…” He surely remembered the incident in which he and Waluigi were made paper-thin by the boulder caused by that space….
Peasley then announced, “The Happening Star goes to Shy Guy!”
Shy Guy quietly accepted the star. Afterwards, a rainbow-colored Star, which seems to be a bit larger than the other Stars hovered downwards and started to rotate around the group. Haruka stared at the Star, pretty much with stars in her eyes, “Wow! What is that?”
*End Theme*
Chihaya somehow couldn’t help but get fixated on the Star as well, “I don’t know…but it really is beautiful…”
Mario stood in eager in anticipation, “Oh boy! Here-a come-a da results!”
Peasley then stood, eagerly ready for this moment, “This is it! Our final announcement! Our winner today, or Super Star of the ruins in the Beanbean Kingdom IS…..”
The rainbow colored star hovered continuously until it made a complete stop on one person…
“..Yukiho Hagiwara!”
“I… I won?” Yukiho stood speechless at the results. Tears began to pour out of her eyes, only this time, they were of joy and not of despair.
“Way to go, Yukiho!” Makoto cheerfully exclaimed as she and Ryou went to congratulate their friend.
“Oh well, you win some, you lose some..” Birdo calmly shrugged.
“Oh, mamma mia…I thought I was the better treasure hunter…” Wario facepalmed, but when he turned to his cohort did his jaw really drop to the floor.
Waluigi stood completely frozen in shock. “No…this can’t be…there has to be some sort of mistake…”
Wario wanted to ask what is wrong with Waluigi, but the pudgy rival realized the truth before Waluigi could say the words.
“I’M IN LAST PLACE!!!”
Before anyone noticed, a large boulder rolled across the area and was headed straight for Waluigi!
“WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!” Waluigi’s eyes bulged outward in complete fright as he ran for his life away from the boulder that just apparent appeared, as if from nowhere.
Iori looked at the mayhem Waluigi got himself into and sighed a breath of relief, knowing that it wasn’t going to be HER about to be run over by that boulder.
*Beanbean Kingdom ~ Teehee Valley ~ Guffhawha Ruins ~ Hidden Ruins ~ Chamber*
*Insert Theme: “In the Depths of the Pit” (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky)*
Shortly after the results, the entire team, with the exclusion of Waluigi who was being chased by the runaway boulder, and Wario who continuously tries to ram the boulder away with his Arm Rush attack, only to continuously miss the target and fall over, the entire group headed to the sealed door at the deepest part of the ruins. There was a star-shaped indentation on the chest’s surface, visible to all who see it. “Okay, now that the events are all done, Yukiho, my dear, when you are ready, place the Dimension Star into the indentation.”
”O…Okay…I’ll try..” Yukiho whispered as she tried to muster up what courage she had to place the Star into the indentation through a beam of bright snowy white. However, she began to become pretty nervous and began to tremble.
Makoto, Birdo, and Ryou walk towards Yukiho’s side to encourage her as they lend their courage in beams of grayish-black, magenta, and lime green.
“Don’t worry, Yukiho. We’re with you!” Makoto put her hand on Yukiho’s shoulder as she andded a her beam to Yukiho’s.
“Count me and Luigi in as well!” Daisy cheerfully exclaimed with a wink, while Luigi did a thumbs-up, all the way from the sidelines!
“You’ve got great friends in all of us, Yukiho!” Ryou pointed out as she let out a beam of light.
“Took the words right out of my mouth, Darling!” Birdo agreed with a wink as she fired up her beam.
With the support of her friends, as well as Daisy and Luigi, Yukiho put on a determined face as she placed the Dimension Star on the chest.
*End Theme*
The chest started to rumble, but after a few moments, it opened fully to reveal a vast treasureshining in bright light. A lone shovel inlaid with beautiful diamonds and a white grip rose up out of the chest, as if by magic. Within moments, the shovel hovered in the air until it gently landed in Yukiho’s hands.
*Insert Theme: “The Power of Stars” (Mario Party)*
Both Team Mario and the rest of the Idols congratulated Yukiho’s victory alongside Makoto, Ryou, and Birdo, with the exception of Waluigi, who was still being chased by the boulder, Wario who constantly tried to smash the boulder and fail each time, and, for some reason, Iori, who was very quiet.
The Producer looked at Iori as she was showing herself out, “Hey, Iori! Wh..where are you going??”
Iori could only respond without even one look back, “Just leave me alone, Producer……”
Producer-san scratched his head in confusion, then turned to Ritsuko, “Uh, Ritsuko? Is something troubling Iori?”
Ritsuko looked as Iori left the room, “I don’t know why, but she seems to be depressed for some reason…”
*End Theme*
*Beanbean Kingdom ~ Teehee Valley ~ Guffhawha Ruins ~ Outside*
*Insert Theme: “Departure” (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga)*
“So, you’re heading back to the castle, fair Princess?” Peasley asked Peach.
“Yes, and my the time has flown! It’s already sunset, and we have to prepare for the next part of the party!” Peach answered in kind honesty.
“So-a Goombella, heading-a back to da Chomp Ruins?” Mario asked the archaeology major.
“Yep! I’ve gotta return there to finish where I left off of the research. Frankly’s getting anxious for the results and I sure can’t keep the him waiting!”
“I-a see.. tell-a him I said-a hi when you a meet-a back with him in Rogueport!” Mario kindly reminded her.
“Will do! See ya!” Goombella exclaimed before she kissed Mario on the cheek and rushed off.
“Well, I say, old boy! I must be going off as well! There are still ruins to explore out there and someone has to do the job!” Kolorado points out before picking up his knapsack.
“Uh, hate to-a point it-a out to ya, but-a what about-a your wife?” Mario quickly reminds Kolorado of his wife at Koopa Village.
Kolorado sweatdropped for a moment, then responded, “Oh, perhaps I can drop by for some time before the next expedition! I’m pretty sure the old girl misses me!” Before heading off, Kolorado turned to Mario one more time, “Tally-ho, Mario, old bean! Let us meet again in another far off place!”
Mario shrugged then turned to Luigi and Prince Peasley. “So-a Prince-a Peasley, heading-a back to Beanbean Castle?” Luigi asked the crown Prince.
“Indeed, Luigi! My role in this adventure is over. However, your adventures, as well as the brave little Idols, have only just begun! And my, do I have a report to give, what with those miscreant Koopa Bros. and all!”
“I-a see. Well, tell Queen Bean Mario and I said hi, alright?” Luigi inquired Peasley, to which he reacted with a confident smile and a flash of his hair.
“Indeed! Till we meet again, Superstar Siblings!” Peasley cried out to Mario and Luigi before heading off into the air. Mario, with a calm face, turned to the Idols, only to notice that Iori just entered the Multi Destination Pipe back to Peach’s Castle without saying a word. “Hey-a, Producer-san! Whatta seems to be da matter with Iori?”
*End Theme*
“Your guess is as good as mine’s, Mario.” Producer-san said in disdain, pretty much clueless to the matter at hand. And unfortunately, Ritsuko didn’t fare any better, though she had a slight clue.
“From what I noticed, Iori seems to be depressed. Can’t say I blame her, though. Too much had happened right in front of our eyes.” Ritsuko spoke in a quiet tone. Mario understood what she meant, what with the Koopa Bros.’ attack, and the mysterious power that saved Iori. Yoshi and Yayoi looked at Mario and Ritsuko and began to worry.
*Peach’s Castle ~ Dining Hall*
*Insert Theme: “Peach’s Castle” (Super Mario 64)*
Nightfall came and the Idols were treated to a great feast for a work well done. Apparently Haruka helped herself, Yayoi reached for some well-made hamburgers, Takane slurped on some noodles, while Hibiki decided to try some seafood imported from Isle Delfino. Sadly, Iori couldn’t muster enough of an appetite before she excused herself from the table.
“Yoshi, dis has been-a bothering me, but something seem to be-a bothering Iori.” Mario asked his bipedal friend.
“..I get what you’re saying, Mario. She seemed pretty sad for some reason. Even she won’t tell me about it.” Yoshi sadly responded with a sigh.
“Well, whatever it-a is, must be-a related to dat moment. You know, de peril she was-a in. Out of all of-a us in our-a group, you get along with Iori the best. So, for da Idols’ sake, try to-a cheer her up da best you can, okay?” Mario asked Yoshi, his gaze in the dino’s large eyes a very concerned one.
Yoshi began to think for a moment, then remembered a conversation he had with Takane back in the ruins…
*FLASHBACK*
*Musicless*
(Takane) "Yoshi, is there more than of you and Birdo out there?"
(Yoshi) "Well, there's a large island south of the Mushroom Kingdom known as Yoshi's Island. Many of my kind appear in a plethora of colors and live peaceful lives to the best of their ability. As for Birdo, well she did say she came from a land called Subcon, but I don't know any more details than that…"
*END FLASHBACK*
Yoshi’s face brightened at remembering that Iori and Yayoi wanted to meet more of his kind and then turned to Mario, “Mario, can you and Luigi get a dance stage ready by tomorrow? Nothing too big, alright? We have a day off that day to plan the next part of the party, so I thought I’d call some friends over.”
Mario realized what Yoshi is planning and smiled, “We’ll do our-a best!”
*Peach’s Castle ~ Guest Quarters*
*Insert Theme: “The Full Moon and the Morning Star” (Tales of Vesperia)*
Iori walked to her guest room alone and picked up her stuffed rabbit, Usa-chan. As she fluffed it, she couldn’t help but think of the predicament she ended up in at the ruins. At the thought of Red’s agitation and the injuries she ended up with before the miracle, Iori quietly sighed as she sat on the bed.
“I guess I really was reckless there…..but to believe those turtles would actually hurt me….I’m such an idiot…”
After that, she quietly sobbed in the moonlit night….
*End Theme*
*Peach’s Castle ~ Main Entrance*
*Insert Theme: “Yoshi’s Song” (Yoshi’s Story)*
Mario and Luigi worked on the finishing touches on a makeshift stage outside the castle, complete with a tropical design resembling that of Yoshi’s Island. Peach and Ritsuko walk outside wondering what the noise is all about, with the hammering and the sawing
“Mario-san, Luigi-san what is with the awful noise??” Ritsuko asked, her hands pretty much on her ears.
“Oh, Ritsuko! We were-a building a small-a stage for Yoshi use an attempt to-a cheer up Iori!” Mario promptly answered.
“Um… Mario? That looks like it could use some more work…” Peach deadpanned,; the stage looked to be in good standing, but if it is forced on too much, it will fall apart.
“Hmm…you may be-a right, Peachy. I hope ican-a finish before…” Mario started, but….
“Mario! I’m back!” Yoshi called out to Mario in a rush..
*Insert Sound Effect: Brake Skid*
“Whoa! Yoshi! You’re-a back already??” Mario hopped backward in shock, his red hat flew out of his head before landing back in.
“Yep! And I brought some pals with me!” Yoshi pointed to his brethren behind him in multiple colors, (Red, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Black, White)
Luigi looke at all the Yoshis. “So whattaya gonna do to cheer Iori up?”
Yoshi (obviously the Green one) reacts with a confident wink, “You’ll see!”
Ritsuko adjusted her glasses, unsure if what Yoshi had in mind will work, “Well…I’ll get Iori over.”, and with that walked to the guest quarters to get Iori outside.
*End Theme*
*SOME TIME LATER…*
Ritsuko came back outside with Iori in tow, who looked she’s seen better days. “I’ve got Iori here. I have to say, Mr. Mario, I hope your dinosaur friend knows what he’s doing.
Mario turned to Ritsuko, “Don’t-a worry! I’m sure Yoshi has-a it done pat!”
Iori, who looked like she hasn’t slept well last night, “Ugh… what do you want?”
Yoshi looked at iori with calm, yet determined look, “Iori-chan, remember when we talked about my homeland and that you and Yayoi wanted meet more of me?”
Even in her delirious state, Iori remembered about the conversation. “Yeah…so what does that have to do with why you called me here?” Boy, she seems to be in a bad mood….
Yoshi’s eyes glint brightly, as if anticipating the question, “As a matter of fact, yep!” and, without warning, gave a sharp whistle.
All of a sudden, more Yoshis jump onto the stage, much to Iori’s surprise, all ready for what their green companion has planned for her.
“Iori, I noticed you were feeling really down since yesterday. I can’t blame you though, those Koopa Bros. were a real pain, and I’m really sorry I wasn’t of much help during that battle, what with my head hitting the roof so hard.” The green bipedal announced and apologized for his failure in the fight.
Iori remembered that Yoshi was knocked into the roof by the ‘ninja’ Koopas and passed out as a result, and was surprised to see that Yoshi decided to spare the trouble of getting her to Yoshi’s Island to call his friends over.
“As my own apology, my brethren and I will perform a special song of our own just for you! Sit back and enjoy the show!” Yoshi (The green one, obviously) announced before his group began to sing in unison, with Mario guest-starring by playing the flute.
*Insert Theme: “Yoshi’s Story” (Yoshi’s Story)*
Flower petals from the outdoor garden spread to the stage through a gentle breeze as the Yoshis sing their tune. It was as if nature itself went in tune with the bipedal dinosaurs and added to the ambience of the melody of their song. The sunlight seems to also do a part by shining brightly on the stage, adding a beautiful scene in which even Iori couldn’t resist. Then after a few repeats of their beautiful tune, things somehow went very wrong…in a very comical way.
*End Theme*
As Red Yoshi was following the beat, a plank from the base of the stage somehow upended itself and whacked the unfortunate dino straight in the nose.
*Insert Theme: “Benny Hill Theme” (The Benny Hill Show)* (Oh man, I am SUCH a stinker!)
“YOWCH!!!!” Red Yoshi greatly flinched and stumbled backwards, colliding with Blue Yoshi in the process.
“OW! Watch where you’re …OOF!!!” Blue Yoshi staggered, to the point of falling on Yellow Yoshi and accidentally making it bite its tongue.
“EEP!!” Yellow Yoshi flinched. In no time flat, the show was beginning to end up a disaster, right in front of Iori Minase!
“Hey, Yellow, are you oka….WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!” Orange Yoshi ran to Yellow’s aid, only for it trip on the microphone cable and tumble, knocking Black Yoshi into the set and White Yoshi into a pot, getting its head stuck!
“Omigosh, what is happening?!” Purple Yoshi panicked… but then got conked in the head by a part of the set that Black Yoshi crashed into. “ACK!!!”
Purple Yoshi ended up seeing stars and staggered in a daze, bumping into Light Blue Yoshi, making it slip on a mike dropped on the floor and accidently fling it toward Green Yoshi’s eye!
“OWWWW!!!!!” THAT STUNG!!!” Green Yoshi flinched in pin, fortunately he only ended up with a black eye, but the reeling pain was enough for it stumble and knocking the final foundation of the stage down.
Pink Yoshi looked in horror as the last part of the stage collapse right on top of it and all of the brethren that are present and screamed, “THIS IS A DISASTER!!!”
*CRASSSSSSSHHHH!!!!!!!*
*End Theme, Insert Sound Effect: Cricket Chirps*
The dust settled as the wreckage of the stage gradually became visible. Fortunate, through sheer luck, all the Yoshis are okay, save for a lot of bumps and bruises and one black eye. Green Yoshi, laying collapsed in the piled-up mess, groan in saddened disdain, “Ohh…this could’ve gone better…..”
Producer-san, wondering what the noise was about, looked and saw the Yoshis in a bit of a pinch, “Yoshi-san! Are you okay???”
“Yep, just fine, Producer. Seems we really blundered badly..” Green Yoshi said weakly.
But before anyone could rush to the dinosaurs’ aid, Iori began to crack up and, unable to restrain herself, began to laugh like crazy while clutching her chest, “Ahahahaha…so…so funny! You Yoshis are such crazy comedians!” She laughed so hard that tears began to come out of her eyes! All the Yoshis could do was stare at each other without muttering even a single word. Even Ritsuko and Producer-san can’t find the words to explain the reason behind Iori’s sudden laughter. After a few minutes, Iori regained her composure, “I haven’t laughed like this in a while! From what I noticed, Yoshi, you and your friends were trying to cheer me up when I was feeling down, by singing a song only you all know!”
Green Yoshi gave an embarrassed look at Iori and frowned, “Well, due to a slight mishap on our part, our own show has fallen apart! I…I..” But before Green Yoshi noticed, Iori hugged him with a comforting smile on her face, “Yoshi you worried about me during the whole time I was depressed. I guess I was a little traumatized from those crazy Koopas and the way they hurt me.”
Yoshi reacted with a calm smile, “Those idots were too overzealous in their attempts and I did remember hearing saying that Bowser never hurts the victims, right?”
“But instead of giving a false hope of saying things wil be alright, you went to perform a show of your own in an attempt to cheer me up….thank you…” Iori gently smiled, a single tear visible on the eye.
Green Yoshi smiled with a tear on his eye, “I look out for my friends. It’s what I do.” The other Yoshis, safely out of the wreckage, saw that despite the magnitude of the failed show, their efforts end in success.
“Mario, we have a call from the representative of Glamour Street on the video phone!” Peach called out to Mario, with Toadsworth alongside.
“I agree, dear Princess! This is of vital importance to the party, so please finish what you started here, Master Mario!” Toadsworth implored, fortunately this time, the timing couldn’t be better than this!
“Good-a timing, Peachy! Producer-a-san, Ritsuko, let’s-a leave Yoshi and-a Iori alone and-a answer da call.” Mario asked the producers as he rushed inside.
“Smart thinking, Mr. Mario! Let’s go, Producer-san!” Ritsuko quickly followed, with the Producer tailing behind. Unknown to any of them, a ParaGoomba watched the whole thing and left…
*Peach’s Castle ~ Meeting Room*
*Insert Theme: “Hello, Happy Kingdom!” (Super Mario RPG)*
Peach, Toadsworth, and Mario, as well as Ritsuko and Producer san rush in the meeting room. There Peach opened up a line on the video phone. “This is Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom on the line. To what do I owe the pleasure of answering the call?”
A booming voice called out to Peach, “Princess, my Glamour Street is now fully open and ready to do its part in the party! All I need is your say-so and we’re ready to RAAWWWWWKKKK!!!!!!”
Mario recognized the voice and the face on the video phone, who turns out to be a gargantuan yellow bird wearing a champiuonship belt and an intimidating face with quite the hairstyle…if you can consider feathers part of the hairstyle…
“Mamma mia!!! RAWK-A- HAWK!!!!!!”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Rawk Hawk Battle” (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)* (a.k.a. Rawk Hawk’s theme!)
Rawk Hawk, the champion of the Glitz Pit, what with Mario retiring from the ring, recognizes him with a big grin on his face, “GONZALES!!!” It’s been a long time, hasn’t it! I heard you brought the famous Idols of 765 Pro as party of a special “Mario Party” you’re hosting! The Glamour street area I opened up, with a few boys who know the Idols, are sure to RAWWWWKKK their socks off!”
Producer-san was greatly intimidated, while Ritsuko was skeptical, “Mr. Mario, you’ve got some explaining to do!”
Mario scratched his head, “It’s-a long story…” and he explained his temporary tenure in Glitzville during his adventures for the Crystal Stars and how he knows a fighting champion…
*End Theme*
Meanwhile, at Bowser’s Castle…
*Bowser’s Castle ~ Throne Room*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser’s Theme” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
“THOSE IMBECILES!!!!!! I THOUGHT I SPECIFICALLY SAID TO NOT HURT THE IDOLS!!!!!!!”
Bowser was extremely upset of the Koopa Bros.’ failure, but even more that the idiotic Koopas had the nerve to hurt an Idol he wanted to kidnap.
“Your Furiousness, please calm down!!” Kammy Koopa tries to reconcile with the Koopa King, only to have being scorched by his Fire Breath.
“I swear, some of my underlings are so dense, they might as well be made of lead!!!!” Bowser snarled in anger, the noise reverberating around the entire castle like an earthquake.
“If I may, Lord Bowser, I will call one of our better minions to do the work. One that will not induce bodily harm to the Idols in question.” Kamek suggested with a hint of fear in the voice.
“Save your breath, Kamek! I’ll do it this time!” a familiar voice called out from the shadows, in the form of a familiar figure walking In the door.
“Young Lord Bowser Jr.??” You’re awake??” Kamek stood startled, didn’t expect him to be this confident..
“I heard that one of our spies call in tell that Iori’s recovered nicely from the efforts of that wacky dinosaur.” Bowser Jr. points out to his father of the small concert that ended in failure, yet succeeded in getting Iori back in her cheerful mood.
“Y..YOSHI??” Not that plumb-scum Mario???” Bowser stood bewildered that Yoshi had a major part in this moment.
“But, you know, that crazy dino’s making ME get fired up!! Why is HE spending time with Iori and not ME?!?!” Bowser Jr. yelled in an upset manner, with steam flowing out of his head. (Seems someone’s getting jealous…)
“So.. what are you getting at, Junior?” Bowser asked in confusion.
“So I though, I should be getting back at him instead of Mario this time at Glamour Street! And I even was thinking of bringing Wendy along for the ride to see the place!” Bowser Jr. pointes out his plan to his father, which greatly softened Bowser’s mood.
“That’s…an excellent plan! Junior, you make your dad proud! Now go out there and make your plan work!” Bowser gleefully ordered his son.
“Will do, Pops!” Bowser Jr. smiled as he bolted out the door.
“Your Cheerfulness, are you sure your son’s going to pull through for this one?” Kamek asked Bowser in pure curiousity.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Junior so determined. Reminds me of when I first kidnapped Peach long ago. Let’s hope fate goes well with him.” Bowser calmly answered as he sat back on his throne, not caring that Kammy was still smoldering on the floor.
*End Theme*

That’s the end of another chapter. Yep, that’s right, after his cameos in past chapters without blowing his cover, Rawk Hawk from the Thousand Year Door makes his entry at long last as the host for Glamour Street! Any boy, is this my longest chapter yet! I’m surprised I still have energy to write! Also, it seems Yoshi now has an unintentional rival in Bowser Jr., enough that shows himself as the next boss! The new arc starts next chapter!

Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing another chapter to the fanfic! At last the time has come to conclude the Beanbean arc and being a stepping stone to the next arc, which I’d like to call the Glamour arc. By the way, I don’t own any of the Mario characters or the iDOLMASTER characters; the Mario characters belong to Nintendo and the iDOLMASTER characters belong to Namco Bandai. So with that out of the way, let’s begin the next chapter!
*Opening Theme: “Unlimited World” (Luminous Arc 2)*
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 10
The End of the Ruins, Yoshi’s Recovery Concert for Iori!

*Beanbean Kingdom ~ Teehee Valley ~ Guffhawha Ruins ~ Hidden Ruins*
*Insert Theme: “The Adventure Ends” (Mario Party 3)*
The many whimsical adventures within Guffawha Ruins were nearing their end, following the Koopa bros.’ defeat at the hands of Iori Minase, the beloved tsudere Idol. Mario and Luigi were still in bewilderment over the very light from the Dimension Comet that not only saved her life, but helped her to make a miraculous comeback against the crazy turtle group. Nonetheless, it was time for the final results, with Prince Peasley, Goombella, and Kolorado hosting.
“Ladies and gentleman, dear Goombella, Prince Peasley and I have witnessed a truly eventful Party, and sad it is to say, all the turns have ended, so will now announce the final results of this extraordinary event! So, who, out of all eight of you,” looking at Yukiho, Makoto, Ryou, Iori, Wario, Waluigi, Shy Guy, and Birdo, “..will be today’s Super Star?’
Goombella waddled in and announced, “Prof. Kolorado and I tallied up the totals, so first, let’s take a look at everyone’s Stars!”
Apparently, due to the Chance Time earlier, Yukiho leads with 5 Stars, Birdo with 4 Stars, Makoto, Ryou, and Wario with 2 Stars, and Iori, Waluigi, and Shy Guy with 1 Star.
Peasley then stepped forward, “Ah ha ha ha! Also, if the game can’t be decided with Stars, then we’ll go by Coins! Everyone’s Coins look like this!”
To everyone’s surprise, Iori was leading by a moderate margin with 120 Coins, followed by Wario with 90, then Ryou with 86, then Birdo with 80, then Makoto and Yukiho tying with 65, then Birdo with 50, and at last Shy Guy with 35.
Kolorado then gave an announcement, “Before we can announce the Super Star, we must now announce the winners of three special rewards.”
“Special rewards??” Producer-san and Ritsuko asked together, question marks pretty much visible over their heads.
Mario turned to Producer-san and Ritsuko, “Oh, it’s-a understandable dat dis is your first-a time seeing dis, so I’ll explain. Da Special Rewards, da Game Star, da Coin Star, and da Happening Star, are-a achievements for special mentions, and each winna gets a free Star before da final results!”
“Geez, quit stealing my thunder, Mario! Prof. Kolorado, Peasley and I are supposed to do explanations here!” Goombella pouted, “Well, anyways, the first reward, the Game Star, goes to the player who won the most Coins in Mini Games.”
The mentioned eight wait in anxious anticipation.
“The Game Star goes to Yukiho Hagiwara!” Goombella announced as a Star flew to Yukiho’s hands.
Next it was Kolorado’s turn, “Next is the Coin Star, which goes to the intrepid player who has procured the most coins overall. And this Star goes to…. Ms. Iori Minase!”
The mentioned star flew to Iori without hesitation.
Peasley went next with the announcement, “And finally, the Happening Star. This peculiar reward goes to the player who, by chance, happened to stepped the ‘? Space’ the most times!”
Wario grumbled in such a quiet tone that no one other than Waluigi, who was close to him, “.Well, it’s a no-brainer who gets that Star…” He surely remembered the incident in which he and Waluigi were made paper-thin by the boulder caused by that space….
Peasley then announced, “The Happening Star goes to Shy Guy!”
Shy Guy quietly accepted the star. Afterwards, a rainbow-colored Star, which seems to be a bit larger than the other Stars hovered downwards and started to rotate around the group. Haruka stared at the Star, pretty much with stars in her eyes, “Wow! What is that?”
*End Theme*
Chihaya somehow couldn’t help but get fixated on the Star as well, “I don’t know…but it really is beautiful…”
Mario stood in eager in anticipation, “Oh boy! Here-a come-a da results!”
Peasley then stood, eagerly ready for this moment, “This is it! Our final announcement! Our winner today, or Super Star of the ruins in the Beanbean Kingdom IS…..”
The rainbow colored star hovered continuously until it made a complete stop on one person…
“..Yukiho Hagiwara!”
“I… I won?” Yukiho stood speechless at the results. Tears began to pour out of her eyes, only this time, they were of joy and not of despair.
“Way to go, Yukiho!” Makoto cheerfully exclaimed as she and Ryou went to congratulate their friend.
“Oh well, you win some, you lose some..” Birdo calmly shrugged.
“Oh, mamma mia…I thought I was the better treasure hunter…” Wario facepalmed, but when he turned to his cohort did his jaw really drop to the floor.
Waluigi stood completely frozen in shock. “No…this can’t be…there has to be some sort of mistake…”
Wario wanted to ask what is wrong with Waluigi, but the pudgy rival realized the truth before Waluigi could say the words.
“I’M IN LAST PLACE!!!”
Before anyone noticed, a large boulder rolled across the area and was headed straight for Waluigi!
“WAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!” Waluigi’s eyes bulged outward in complete fright as he ran for his life away from the boulder that just apparent appeared, as if from nowhere.
Iori looked at the mayhem Waluigi got himself into and sighed a breath of relief, knowing that it wasn’t going to be HER about to be run over by that boulder.
*Beanbean Kingdom ~ Teehee Valley ~ Guffhawha Ruins ~ Hidden Ruins ~ Chamber*
*Insert Theme: “In the Depths of the Pit” (Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time/Darkness/Sky)*
Shortly after the results, the entire team, with the exclusion of Waluigi who was being chased by the runaway boulder, and Wario who continuously tries to ram the boulder away with his Arm Rush attack, only to continuously miss the target and fall over, the entire group headed to the sealed door at the deepest part of the ruins. There was a star-shaped indentation on the chest’s surface, visible to all who see it. “Okay, now that the events are all done, Yukiho, my dear, when you are ready, place the Dimension Star into the indentation.”
”O…Okay…I’ll try..” Yukiho whispered as she tried to muster up what courage she had to place the Star into the indentation through a beam of bright snowy white. However, she began to become pretty nervous and began to tremble.
Makoto, Birdo, and Ryou walk towards Yukiho’s side to encourage her as they lend their courage in beams of grayish-black, magenta, and lime green.
“Don’t worry, Yukiho. We’re with you!” Makoto put her hand on Yukiho’s shoulder as she andded a her beam to Yukiho’s.
“Count me and Luigi in as well!” Daisy cheerfully exclaimed with a wink, while Luigi did a thumbs-up, all the way from the sidelines!
“You’ve got great friends in all of us, Yukiho!” Ryou pointed out as she let out a beam of light.
“Took the words right out of my mouth, Darling!” Birdo agreed with a wink as she fired up her beam.
With the support of her friends, as well as Daisy and Luigi, Yukiho put on a determined face as she placed the Dimension Star on the chest.
*End Theme*
The chest started to rumble, but after a few moments, it opened fully to reveal a vast treasureshining in bright light. A lone shovel inlaid with beautiful diamonds and a white grip rose up out of the chest, as if by magic. Within moments, the shovel hovered in the air until it gently landed in Yukiho’s hands.
*Insert Theme: “The Power of Stars” (Mario Party)*
Both Team Mario and the rest of the Idols congratulated Yukiho’s victory alongside Makoto, Ryou, and Birdo, with the exception of Waluigi, who was still being chased by the boulder, Wario who constantly tried to smash the boulder and fail each time, and, for some reason, Iori, who was very quiet.
The Producer looked at Iori as she was showing herself out, “Hey, Iori! Wh..where are you going??”
Iori could only respond without even one look back, “Just leave me alone, Producer……”
Producer-san scratched his head in confusion, then turned to Ritsuko, “Uh, Ritsuko? Is something troubling Iori?”
Ritsuko looked as Iori left the room, “I don’t know why, but she seems to be depressed for some reason…”

*Insert Theme: “Departure” (Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga)*
“So, you’re heading back to the castle, fair Princess?” Peasley asked Peach.
“Yes, and my the time has flown! It’s already sunset, and we have to prepare for the next part of the party!” Peach answered in kind honesty.
“So-a Goombella, heading-a back to da Chomp Ruins?” Mario asked the archaeology major.
“Yep! I’ve gotta return there to finish where I left off of the research. Frankly’s getting anxious for the results and I sure can’t keep the him waiting!”
“I-a see.. tell-a him I said-a hi when you a meet-a back with him in Rogueport!” Mario kindly reminded her.
“Will do! See ya!” Goombella exclaimed before she kissed Mario on the cheek and rushed off.
“Well, I say, old boy! I must be going off as well! There are still ruins to explore out there and someone has to do the job!” Kolorado points out before picking up his knapsack.
“Uh, hate to-a point it-a out to ya, but-a what about-a your wife?” Mario quickly reminds Kolorado of his wife at Koopa Village.
Kolorado sweatdropped for a moment, then responded, “Oh, perhaps I can drop by for some time before the next expedition! I’m pretty sure the old girl misses me!” Before heading off, Kolorado turned to Mario one more time, “Tally-ho, Mario, old bean! Let us meet again in another far off place!”
Mario shrugged then turned to Luigi and Prince Peasley. “So-a Prince-a Peasley, heading-a back to Beanbean Castle?” Luigi asked the crown Prince.
“Indeed, Luigi! My role in this adventure is over. However, your adventures, as well as the brave little Idols, have only just begun! And my, do I have a report to give, what with those miscreant Koopa Bros. and all!”
“I-a see. Well, tell Queen Bean Mario and I said hi, alright?” Luigi inquired Peasley, to which he reacted with a confident smile and a flash of his hair.
“Indeed! Till we meet again, Superstar Siblings!” Peasley cried out to Mario and Luigi before heading off into the air. Mario, with a calm face, turned to the Idols, only to notice that Iori just entered the Multi Destination Pipe back to Peach’s Castle without saying a word. “Hey-a, Producer-san! Whatta seems to be da matter with Iori?”
*End Theme*
“Your guess is as good as mine’s, Mario.” Producer-san said in disdain, pretty much clueless to the matter at hand. And unfortunately, Ritsuko didn’t fare any better, though she had a slight clue.
“From what I noticed, Iori seems to be depressed. Can’t say I blame her, though. Too much had happened right in front of our eyes.” Ritsuko spoke in a quiet tone. Mario understood what she meant, what with the Koopa Bros.’ attack, and the mysterious power that saved Iori. Yoshi and Yayoi looked at Mario and Ritsuko and began to worry.
*Peach’s Castle ~ Dining Hall*
*Insert Theme: “Peach’s Castle” (Super Mario 64)*
Nightfall came and the Idols were treated to a great feast for a work well done. Apparently Haruka helped herself, Yayoi reached for some well-made hamburgers, Takane slurped on some noodles, while Hibiki decided to try some seafood imported from Isle Delfino. Sadly, Iori couldn’t muster enough of an appetite before she excused herself from the table.
“Yoshi, dis has been-a bothering me, but something seem to be-a bothering Iori.” Mario asked his bipedal friend.
“..I get what you’re saying, Mario. She seemed pretty sad for some reason. Even she won’t tell me about it.” Yoshi sadly responded with a sigh.
“Well, whatever it-a is, must be-a related to dat moment. You know, de peril she was-a in. Out of all of-a us in our-a group, you get along with Iori the best. So, for da Idols’ sake, try to-a cheer her up da best you can, okay?” Mario asked Yoshi, his gaze in the dino’s large eyes a very concerned one.
Yoshi began to think for a moment, then remembered a conversation he had with Takane back in the ruins…
*FLASHBACK*
*Musicless*
(Takane) "Yoshi, is there more than of you and Birdo out there?"
(Yoshi) "Well, there's a large island south of the Mushroom Kingdom known as Yoshi's Island. Many of my kind appear in a plethora of colors and live peaceful lives to the best of their ability. As for Birdo, well she did say she came from a land called Subcon, but I don't know any more details than that…"
*END FLASHBACK*
Yoshi’s face brightened at remembering that Iori and Yayoi wanted to meet more of his kind and then turned to Mario, “Mario, can you and Luigi get a dance stage ready by tomorrow? Nothing too big, alright? We have a day off that day to plan the next part of the party, so I thought I’d call some friends over.”
Mario realized what Yoshi is planning and smiled, “We’ll do our-a best!”
*Peach’s Castle ~ Guest Quarters*
*Insert Theme: “The Full Moon and the Morning Star” (Tales of Vesperia)*
Iori walked to her guest room alone and picked up her stuffed rabbit, Usa-chan. As she fluffed it, she couldn’t help but think of the predicament she ended up in at the ruins. At the thought of Red’s agitation and the injuries she ended up with before the miracle, Iori quietly sighed as she sat on the bed.
“I guess I really was reckless there…..but to believe those turtles would actually hurt me….I’m such an idiot…”
After that, she quietly sobbed in the moonlit night….
*End Theme*
*Peach’s Castle ~ Main Entrance*
*Insert Theme: “Yoshi’s Song” (Yoshi’s Story)*
Mario and Luigi worked on the finishing touches on a makeshift stage outside the castle, complete with a tropical design resembling that of Yoshi’s Island. Peach and Ritsuko walk outside wondering what the noise is all about, with the hammering and the sawing
“Mario-san, Luigi-san what is with the awful noise??” Ritsuko asked, her hands pretty much on her ears.
“Oh, Ritsuko! We were-a building a small-a stage for Yoshi use an attempt to-a cheer up Iori!” Mario promptly answered.
“Um… Mario? That looks like it could use some more work…” Peach deadpanned,; the stage looked to be in good standing, but if it is forced on too much, it will fall apart.
“Hmm…you may be-a right, Peachy. I hope ican-a finish before…” Mario started, but….
“Mario! I’m back!” Yoshi called out to Mario in a rush..
*Insert Sound Effect: Brake Skid*
“Whoa! Yoshi! You’re-a back already??” Mario hopped backward in shock, his red hat flew out of his head before landing back in.
“Yep! And I brought some pals with me!” Yoshi pointed to his brethren behind him in multiple colors, (Red, Pink, Yellow, Orange, Blue, Light Blue, Purple, Black, White)
Luigi looke at all the Yoshis. “So whattaya gonna do to cheer Iori up?”
Yoshi (obviously the Green one) reacts with a confident wink, “You’ll see!”
Ritsuko adjusted her glasses, unsure if what Yoshi had in mind will work, “Well…I’ll get Iori over.”, and with that walked to the guest quarters to get Iori outside.
*End Theme*
*SOME TIME LATER…*
Ritsuko came back outside with Iori in tow, who looked she’s seen better days. “I’ve got Iori here. I have to say, Mr. Mario, I hope your dinosaur friend knows what he’s doing.
Mario turned to Ritsuko, “Don’t-a worry! I’m sure Yoshi has-a it done pat!”
Iori, who looked like she hasn’t slept well last night, “Ugh… what do you want?”
Yoshi looked at iori with calm, yet determined look, “Iori-chan, remember when we talked about my homeland and that you and Yayoi wanted meet more of me?”
Even in her delirious state, Iori remembered about the conversation. “Yeah…so what does that have to do with why you called me here?” Boy, she seems to be in a bad mood….
Yoshi’s eyes glint brightly, as if anticipating the question, “As a matter of fact, yep!” and, without warning, gave a sharp whistle.
All of a sudden, more Yoshis jump onto the stage, much to Iori’s surprise, all ready for what their green companion has planned for her.
“Iori, I noticed you were feeling really down since yesterday. I can’t blame you though, those Koopa Bros. were a real pain, and I’m really sorry I wasn’t of much help during that battle, what with my head hitting the roof so hard.” The green bipedal announced and apologized for his failure in the fight.
Iori remembered that Yoshi was knocked into the roof by the ‘ninja’ Koopas and passed out as a result, and was surprised to see that Yoshi decided to spare the trouble of getting her to Yoshi’s Island to call his friends over.
“As my own apology, my brethren and I will perform a special song of our own just for you! Sit back and enjoy the show!” Yoshi (The green one, obviously) announced before his group began to sing in unison, with Mario guest-starring by playing the flute.
*Insert Theme: “Yoshi’s Story” (Yoshi’s Story)*
Flower petals from the outdoor garden spread to the stage through a gentle breeze as the Yoshis sing their tune. It was as if nature itself went in tune with the bipedal dinosaurs and added to the ambience of the melody of their song. The sunlight seems to also do a part by shining brightly on the stage, adding a beautiful scene in which even Iori couldn’t resist. Then after a few repeats of their beautiful tune, things somehow went very wrong…in a very comical way.
*End Theme*
As Red Yoshi was following the beat, a plank from the base of the stage somehow upended itself and whacked the unfortunate dino straight in the nose.
*Insert Theme: “Benny Hill Theme” (The Benny Hill Show)* (Oh man, I am SUCH a stinker!)
“YOWCH!!!!” Red Yoshi greatly flinched and stumbled backwards, colliding with Blue Yoshi in the process.
“OW! Watch where you’re …OOF!!!” Blue Yoshi staggered, to the point of falling on Yellow Yoshi and accidentally making it bite its tongue.
“EEP!!” Yellow Yoshi flinched. In no time flat, the show was beginning to end up a disaster, right in front of Iori Minase!
“Hey, Yellow, are you oka….WOWOWOWOWOW!!!!!!” Orange Yoshi ran to Yellow’s aid, only for it trip on the microphone cable and tumble, knocking Black Yoshi into the set and White Yoshi into a pot, getting its head stuck!
“Omigosh, what is happening?!” Purple Yoshi panicked… but then got conked in the head by a part of the set that Black Yoshi crashed into. “ACK!!!”
Purple Yoshi ended up seeing stars and staggered in a daze, bumping into Light Blue Yoshi, making it slip on a mike dropped on the floor and accidently fling it toward Green Yoshi’s eye!
“OWWWW!!!!!” THAT STUNG!!!” Green Yoshi flinched in pin, fortunately he only ended up with a black eye, but the reeling pain was enough for it stumble and knocking the final foundation of the stage down.
Pink Yoshi looked in horror as the last part of the stage collapse right on top of it and all of the brethren that are present and screamed, “THIS IS A DISASTER!!!”
*CRASSSSSSSHHHH!!!!!!!*
*End Theme, Insert Sound Effect: Cricket Chirps*
The dust settled as the wreckage of the stage gradually became visible. Fortunate, through sheer luck, all the Yoshis are okay, save for a lot of bumps and bruises and one black eye. Green Yoshi, laying collapsed in the piled-up mess, groan in saddened disdain, “Ohh…this could’ve gone better…..”
Producer-san, wondering what the noise was about, looked and saw the Yoshis in a bit of a pinch, “Yoshi-san! Are you okay???”
“Yep, just fine, Producer. Seems we really blundered badly..” Green Yoshi said weakly.
But before anyone could rush to the dinosaurs’ aid, Iori began to crack up and, unable to restrain herself, began to laugh like crazy while clutching her chest, “Ahahahaha…so…so funny! You Yoshis are such crazy comedians!” She laughed so hard that tears began to come out of her eyes! All the Yoshis could do was stare at each other without muttering even a single word. Even Ritsuko and Producer-san can’t find the words to explain the reason behind Iori’s sudden laughter. After a few minutes, Iori regained her composure, “I haven’t laughed like this in a while! From what I noticed, Yoshi, you and your friends were trying to cheer me up when I was feeling down, by singing a song only you all know!”
Green Yoshi gave an embarrassed look at Iori and frowned, “Well, due to a slight mishap on our part, our own show has fallen apart! I…I..” But before Green Yoshi noticed, Iori hugged him with a comforting smile on her face, “Yoshi you worried about me during the whole time I was depressed. I guess I was a little traumatized from those crazy Koopas and the way they hurt me.”
Yoshi reacted with a calm smile, “Those idots were too overzealous in their attempts and I did remember hearing saying that Bowser never hurts the victims, right?”
“But instead of giving a false hope of saying things wil be alright, you went to perform a show of your own in an attempt to cheer me up….thank you…” Iori gently smiled, a single tear visible on the eye.
Green Yoshi smiled with a tear on his eye, “I look out for my friends. It’s what I do.” The other Yoshis, safely out of the wreckage, saw that despite the magnitude of the failed show, their efforts end in success.
“Mario, we have a call from the representative of Glamour Street on the video phone!” Peach called out to Mario, with Toadsworth alongside.
“I agree, dear Princess! This is of vital importance to the party, so please finish what you started here, Master Mario!” Toadsworth implored, fortunately this time, the timing couldn’t be better than this!
“Good-a timing, Peachy! Producer-a-san, Ritsuko, let’s-a leave Yoshi and-a Iori alone and-a answer da call.” Mario asked the producers as he rushed inside.
“Smart thinking, Mr. Mario! Let’s go, Producer-san!” Ritsuko quickly followed, with the Producer tailing behind. Unknown to any of them, a ParaGoomba watched the whole thing and left…
*Peach’s Castle ~ Meeting Room*
*Insert Theme: “Hello, Happy Kingdom!” (Super Mario RPG)*
Peach, Toadsworth, and Mario, as well as Ritsuko and Producer san rush in the meeting room. There Peach opened up a line on the video phone. “This is Princess Peach Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom on the line. To what do I owe the pleasure of answering the call?”
A booming voice called out to Peach, “Princess, my Glamour Street is now fully open and ready to do its part in the party! All I need is your say-so and we’re ready to RAAWWWWWKKKK!!!!!!”
Mario recognized the voice and the face on the video phone, who turns out to be a gargantuan yellow bird wearing a champiuonship belt and an intimidating face with quite the hairstyle…if you can consider feathers part of the hairstyle…
“Mamma mia!!! RAWK-A- HAWK!!!!!!”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Rawk Hawk Battle” (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)* (a.k.a. Rawk Hawk’s theme!)
Rawk Hawk, the champion of the Glitz Pit, what with Mario retiring from the ring, recognizes him with a big grin on his face, “GONZALES!!!” It’s been a long time, hasn’t it! I heard you brought the famous Idols of 765 Pro as party of a special “Mario Party” you’re hosting! The Glamour street area I opened up, with a few boys who know the Idols, are sure to RAWWWWKKK their socks off!”
Producer-san was greatly intimidated, while Ritsuko was skeptical, “Mr. Mario, you’ve got some explaining to do!”
Mario scratched his head, “It’s-a long story…” and he explained his temporary tenure in Glitzville during his adventures for the Crystal Stars and how he knows a fighting champion…
*End Theme*
Meanwhile, at Bowser’s Castle…
*Bowser’s Castle ~ Throne Room*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser’s Theme” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
“THOSE IMBECILES!!!!!! I THOUGHT I SPECIFICALLY SAID TO NOT HURT THE IDOLS!!!!!!!”
Bowser was extremely upset of the Koopa Bros.’ failure, but even more that the idiotic Koopas had the nerve to hurt an Idol he wanted to kidnap.
“Your Furiousness, please calm down!!” Kammy Koopa tries to reconcile with the Koopa King, only to have being scorched by his Fire Breath.
“I swear, some of my underlings are so dense, they might as well be made of lead!!!!” Bowser snarled in anger, the noise reverberating around the entire castle like an earthquake.
“If I may, Lord Bowser, I will call one of our better minions to do the work. One that will not induce bodily harm to the Idols in question.” Kamek suggested with a hint of fear in the voice.
“Save your breath, Kamek! I’ll do it this time!” a familiar voice called out from the shadows, in the form of a familiar figure walking In the door.
“Young Lord Bowser Jr.??” You’re awake??” Kamek stood startled, didn’t expect him to be this confident..
“I heard that one of our spies call in tell that Iori’s recovered nicely from the efforts of that wacky dinosaur.” Bowser Jr. points out to his father of the small concert that ended in failure, yet succeeded in getting Iori back in her cheerful mood.
“Y..YOSHI??” Not that plumb-scum Mario???” Bowser stood bewildered that Yoshi had a major part in this moment.
“But, you know, that crazy dino’s making ME get fired up!! Why is HE spending time with Iori and not ME?!?!” Bowser Jr. yelled in an upset manner, with steam flowing out of his head. (Seems someone’s getting jealous…)
“So.. what are you getting at, Junior?” Bowser asked in confusion.
“So I though, I should be getting back at him instead of Mario this time at Glamour Street! And I even was thinking of bringing Wendy along for the ride to see the place!” Bowser Jr. pointes out his plan to his father, which greatly softened Bowser’s mood.
“That’s…an excellent plan! Junior, you make your dad proud! Now go out there and make your plan work!” Bowser gleefully ordered his son.
“Will do, Pops!” Bowser Jr. smiled as he bolted out the door.
“Your Cheerfulness, are you sure your son’s going to pull through for this one?” Kamek asked Bowser in pure curiousity.
“This is the first time I’ve seen Junior so determined. Reminds me of when I first kidnapped Peach long ago. Let’s hope fate goes well with him.” Bowser calmly answered as he sat back on his throne, not caring that Kammy was still smoldering on the floor.
*End Theme*

That’s the end of another chapter. Yep, that’s right, after his cameos in past chapters without blowing his cover, Rawk Hawk from the Thousand Year Door makes his entry at long last as the host for Glamour Street! Any boy, is this my longest chapter yet! I’m surprised I still have energy to write! Also, it seems Yoshi now has an unintentional rival in Bowser Jr., enough that shows himself as the next boss! The new arc starts next chapter!
