CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bringing in another chapter to the fanfic! To be honest, I’m looking forward to how this turns out, ‘cause I’m doing the Dance Battle again! The song choice for the Mario team be a big one, so stay tuned! Anyways, 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 over with, let’s get the show started!
*Opening Theme: “My Only Dream” (By “Honey L Days”)*
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 13
The Second Dance Battle! Song and Dance Combine!
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ “Rhythm Shakers“ Stage*
*Insert Theme: “Move to the Music” (Mario Party 2)*
The party continues upon the mini game, “Rhythm Shakers”, a 1 vs. 3 event, with Luigi leading the beat, while Chihaya and Peach just watch.
Haruka, Mario, and Miki try their best to keep up to the green plumber’s beat and didn’t miss a step.
Determined to outwit the Idols, Luigi tried a harder beat to dance to, using complex steps and movements out of a dance exercise he practiced prior to the beginning of the Party.
“Whoa, whoa…YOW!!!” Mario tripped and bopped his nose on the floor. (Usually it’s Haruka that trips over…)
“You okay, Mario-chan?” Miki asked Mario while trying not to laugh.
“Oof..I’m-a okay!” Mario waved his hand from the floor. Unfortunately, since he failed to keep up with Luigi’s Mario was out for the remainder of the mini game. However, that did not stop Haruka and Mikii from trying even harder to outwit Luigi.
“Wow, those two don’t-a let up! Well I shouldn’t expect anything less. Okay, for the last round, I’ll try something really hard!” Luigi thought to himself as he stretched his legs for the last part.
All of a sudden, Luigi began to breakdance with difficult steps meant for intermediate dancers, perform a spiral front somersault, and end his gig with a balanced handstand! Luigi, sweating from his gig, thought in a gleam of pride, “Whew, that was a bit much…but let’s see how Haruka and Miki match to that? Even Bro has not mastered this stun in his spare time.”
Haruka and Miki nod to each other without saying a word, then attempt the crazy combo Luigi did. However, bvy either a mere trick of fate or just plain klutziness, Haruka tripped and fell on her bottom before attempting the handstand. “Ouch!! ..That hurt…”
“Nice try Haruka…wait, WHAAAATT?!?!?!” Luigi laughed for a bit, only to notice Miki perform the intense combination without much trouble.
“Whew…you sure can drive up the challenge!” Miki was sweating greatly but was satisfied that the challenge is within her grasp.
*End Theme*
“FINISH!” Yoshi Kid called out, “The win goes to Gon.. sorry, I mean, Mario, Haruka, and Miki!”
“Aw nooo!!! Mamma mia!!!” Luigi flung him arms over his head and fell over, only to hit his head on the stand.
“Hey-a bro! You alright?” Mario walked to his brother, who’s now on his knees flinching from a sharp headache form the collision.
“Yeah…maybe….” Luigi responded as his head once again became a hat rack for one green hat.
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ Central Plaza*
*Insert Theme: “Title Theme” (Mario Kart Wii)*
The party at Glamour Street continued, although Luigi had to have a short time-out for Daisy and Yukiho to check on his injury.
“Are you going to be okay, Mr. Luigi?” Ritsuko calmly asked the green-clad plumber as Yukiho applied the antiseptic to Luigi’s lump.
“I’ll be okay..” Luigi relaxed for the antiseptic to take its effect. “Thanks Yukiho!”
“You’re welcome.” Yukiho smiled, while Makoto and Ryou watch quietly while enjoying some ice cream from one of the nearby shops.
“Luigi’s quite the misfortunate, isn’t he?” Ryou asked her boyishly-handsome friend.
“Yeah, but lately, I heard from Mario that he’s lately stepping out of his shadow to have his own adventures lately.” Makoto responded quietly in thought.
“I know you mean Makoto and I can vouch that the rumor you speak of is true!” Daisy decided to join in the conversation. “Recently before the party, Luigi had to investigate another creepy mansion filled with ghosts at Evershade Valley…alone.”
“Alone?? S..Surely Luigi-san would’ve been horrified! He told me that he can’t handle ghosts well!” Yukiho reacted in horror and worry, enough to startle Makoto and Ryou and make them choke on the ice cream a bit. (Ouch…)
Daisy simply just waved her hand, “Don’t worry, hon! Prof. Gadd’s latest version of his ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner, the Poltergust 5000, was more than enough to help Luigi get through that ordeal!
“Guys!!” Iori quickly grabbed everyone’s attention onboard Yoshi as Luigi went back to his position on the board.
*End Theme with Wheel Skid sound*
“What’s up, Iori?” Makoto quickly responded as she was finishing her ice cream cone.
“You..you wouldn’t believe what space Haruka just stepped on!!” Iori cried out as she pointed to Haruka stepping on a familiar pink space upon her turn.
“Wha…no way!!” Makoto’s jaw dropped, with everyone else looking at Haruka.
“Oh my…is it that time already?” Azusa smiled, while the Futami twins quickly get excited. Ai, Eri, and Ryou were no exception to the matter.
“Omigosh, Haruka-chan! You just stepped on the Dance Space!!” Ai exclaimed cheerfully.
*Insert Theme: “Neon Colosseum” (Pokémon: Battle Revolution)*
“Whoa man, is it, like, that time to do the dancing already?? Tubular!” King K. responded with a cool smile and a glint from his sunglasses.
“Time? Time for what exactly? Don’t leave in the dark there!” Yoshi Kid looked at King K. with a confused gaze.
King K. nearly fell over from the young Yoshi’s response. “Little dude, you can’t be serious!! Oh boy, looks like it’s so time to explain this one. If it’s, like, ‘kay with you, Champ.”
“..Sure. No prob. It’s been me RAWWKKING with explanations, so someone else should explain to lil’ Gonzales Jr. about this.” Rawk Hawk calmly thought this over and decided it’d be nice to pass the “explanation torch” for a short while. (Fortunately, this time, Chihaya didn’t hear the name. Thank goodness for small graces.)
King K. then explains, “Anyway, lil’ dude, the Dance Event a dancing contest to prove who’s got the best rhythm. This time, two teams of three will go against each other in dancing to the songs of their choice. The one team whose Dance Meter has, like, dropped to dead zero loses it all.”
“That’s a very good way to explain it. However, even with my studly presence, I doubt I would RAWWKKKK out as a dancer…” Rawk Hawk frowned and put his muscular arms on his hips in disdain.
*Insert Jingle: “Bad Luck” (Pokémon Fire Red & Leaf Green)*
“Aw, cheer up, Rawk Hawk-san! You’re still a champ in my book!” Hokuto arrived and placed his hand on the Glitz Pit champion’s back with a kind gesture.
“Thanks Hokuto..I really needed that.” Rawk Hawk sighed a breath of relief.
“So the 3 Idols and Mario’s team are going to have a dance off?” Touma asked, unsure if a portly plumber can even dance.
“I sure the event will go well! Besides, I’m excited to see how the pretty angels go up against the legendary Super Mario!” Shouto began to watch with excitement building up within him.
“’Super’ Mario???” Touma looked at Shouta with a confused gaze.
“What? Didn’t you know? He’s a defender of the Mushroom Kingdom as well as a plumber! Anyways, let’s see how this turns out!” Shouta responded as he redirected his group’s focus back to the planning of the dance!”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Good Luck!” (Mario Party 3)*
On Mario’s side, it looks like the song choice for the team was already chosen.
“I think-a dis-a song is-a perfect! I believe we’ll-a have-a some-a luck with a song we-a did before!” Mario happily smiled.
“Yeah… actually I don’t see any problem with dat choice.” Luigi calmly accepted the song choice with the song choice without any objections.
“Alright, so we’re good to go?” Peach readied herself for the chance to prove her dancing mettle as well.
“Yep, we’re good to-a go!” Mario cheerfully fastened his hat, ready for the big chance that all of the group prepared for days before.
On the Idols’ side, there was a bit of a debate..
“Are you certain about this, Haruka? After all, it’s just us three this time.” Chihaya asked Haruka in utter confusion.
“Of course I’m sure! Remember when we hosted shows before? We worked really good together there! I’m sure this Dance Event is gonna be no different!” Haruka gleefully exclaimed.
“Um, I’m actually gonna agree with Chihaya this time. Remember what happened to Iori? She was hurt because that crazy ninja turtles ruined the event with their antics!” Miki reacted in a concerned matter, recalling that incident and seeing Iori wince in the thought of what might happen.
“Don’t worry, you three! We’ll make sure to keep a really sharp watch around to make sure nothing bad happens!” Producer-san assured the trio, with Ritsuko agreeing with a calm nod.
“Your skinny Producer’s right about that, pretty Idols! I received word from some bean-headed prince with a sword about that incident, and, let me tell you, anyone who even DARES try to ruin this Dance Event under my watch is gonna getting a RAWWWWWKKKKING of a lifetime!” Rawk Hawk made a bold compromise, while a flaming aura engulfed his muscular form.
“Thanks, Rawk Hawk-san! We’ll all do our best with that in mind!” Haruka smiled at Rawk Hawk, which somehow made the big guy blush all over!
Chihaya, reassured that the Dance Event will not be interrupted this time, asked, “So, are we ready to go?”
“Yeah!!” Haruka and Miki surely were ready as the trio walked to their part of the stage.
*End Theme*
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ Diamond Stage*
*Musicless (for the time being…)*
The stage was darkened for a short moment, with the rest of Team Mario and the Idols, as well as everyone in the audience, waiting in anticipation for what happens next. Then, all of sudden, the spotlights began to shine, each on Haruka, Chihaya, Miki, Mario, Luigi, and then Peach.
Rawk Hawk then quickly announced, “All right, teams! Time for you all to RAWWWWKK out really hard! 3…2…1…GO!”
*Insert Team Mario’s Dance Theme: “Jump! Jump! Jump!” (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)*
Mario led the dancing aspect and the main dance, with Luigi and Peach joining along, with skilled jumps, twirls, and multiple steps to the beat of the music.
“Hehe… had a feeling you’d start off big, Gonzales?” Rawk Hawk anticipated the effort Mario was showing and smiled.
“Whoa…Were they practicing beforehand???” Producer-san stood in shock, unable to remove his eyes from the dance scene and acknowledging the fact that Idols have their work cut out for them.
“From the way Mr. Mario, Mr. Luigi, and Princess Peach get to the beat of their own song, I’d say yes.” Ritsuko concluded, unable to avert her gaze as well.
Mario, Luigi, and Peach already are proving to be as formidable as they come from hours of dance practice back at the castle. However, the three Idols are not going to sit around as they readied their song…
*Temporarily end theme, Insert Team 765 Pro’s Dance Theme: “CHANGE!!” (The iDOLMASTER 2)*
Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki quickly dance in perfect unison to their own beat, neither one missing a beat. All eyes watching then turn to the Idols, then to Team Mario, then back to the Idols. To add to the feel of the beat, the Idols decide to add the lyrics to spice things up.
“Yep, still got the rhythm!” Producer-san smiled as he watched the dance off.
“I’ll say, they are representing us pretty well, Producer-san. However, it looks to Mr. Mario’s team is not going to make things easy.” Ritsuko pointed out quietly.
*Temporarily End Theme, Resume Team Mario Dance Theme*
Mario took a quick look of interest at Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki as he, Luigi, and Peach resume their dance. “Those-a three are-a really giving it their all. Along with the rest of da Idols, they all look like dey are-a having a lotta fun. Their show are-a very-a successful because they always-a show da kind kind of enthusiasm. Well, Iknow they aren’t-a holding back and-a neither am I! just-a one thing-a bothers me, though. I haven’t-a yet seen-a Bowsa. Is he just-a lying in-a wait or what?” The red-clad plumber thought of how skilled the trio is and of why nemesis has not shown up yet, making him a bit suspicious.
“Uh, Bro? The song’s-a ending and the Idols as well as us are pretty much in a stalemate! What should we do?” Luigi asked as he realized both the songs are ending with no clear advantage against either team.
“That’s a pretty good question, Luigi. Even I have not thought ahead of this…” Peach answered as the songs were nearing the last verses.
“Don’t worry, Princess! I thought ahead with this kind of result!” Rawk Hawk quickly responded with a press of a button a remote he just pulled out of his pants pocket.
Suddenly, another stage with a star pattern on the top appeared from out of the ground, much to the shock of everyone who witnessed.
*End Theme*
“Whoa…Rawk-a Hawk, whatza goin’ on??” Mario asked his former rival, trying to get mind back together from the shock.
“Well, Gonzales old pal, since the songs have ended and neither your team or that of the Idols had their Dance Meter drop to squat! Personally, I wouldn’t expect any less! So the time has come to take this event into Sudden Death Mode!!!” The Glitz Pit champion cheerfully explained, anxiously hoping for something like this to happen!
“SUDDEN DEATH?!?!” The rest of Team Mario and the Idols, as well as the Jupiter trio yell in a totally aghast manner.
“Yep, an endless dance off with one song! This time, the Dance Meter is replaced with the Sudden Death meter, with only two bars, and anyone who blunders their steps two times is out!”
“…I don’t want to know how that who mess up twice are counted ‘out’, do I?” Ritsuko deadpanned, anticipating that something pretty ridiculous might occur sooner or later.
“Uh, Ritsuko? Maybe it’s best you don’t think about it..” Yoshi Kid reacted in an unusually quiet tone.
“Little runt there’s got a point there. There has a lot of craziness happening already.” Touma decided to join in with a sigh.
“Now if all participants will join in for the Sudden Death Round, we will begin!” Rawk Hawk announced as the two trios step onto the stage Oh, and don’t worry, nobody’s gonna kick the bucket with this!.
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ Diamond Stage ~ Sudden Death Stage*
*Musicless (once again…for now)*
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki step on the step and wait in anticipation to what song will be put on. All of a sudden, the spotlights turned to them and a song began to play.
“Mamma mia! Dis is-a gonna be nuts!” Mario yelped in an alert tone.
*Insert Theme: “Kiramekirai” (The iDOLMASTER)* (Just had to, to make things even..)
“Oh my… I remember this song from your shows!” Luigi shouted out loud.
“Wait a minute, I remember Yayoi doing this song!” Miki shouted out in surprise.
“Well I thought you Idols would stand an even chance if it was one of your themes, right! Good thing I was researching on the Internet beforehand…though it seems to be exciting little Puffy Hair over at the stands….” Rawk Hawk winked, only to look at an excited Yayoi.
“Eh-ehhh!!! Mr. Big Bird has set up my song for the party! Eh-ehh!” Yayoi chirped happily, obviously for the wrong reason, enough to make Iori and Yoshi glance at her with an unimpressed demeanor.
“Uh..Yoshi… Don’t you think this is the wrong reaction for something like this?” Iori deadpanned looking at the cheerful Yayoi.
“…Maybe.. but let’s not ruin the mood and just enjoy the show, okay Iori?” Yoshi sighed as he returned his gaze back to the action.
“..Good point.” Iori calmed down, surprised on the way Yoshi took the hapless situation without making it worse.
“Anyways, the final dance-off began and the odds were still evenly matched against Team Mario and the Idols until..
“Oh no!” Luigi missed on a step the second time, then, out of nowhere, a large basin pan appeared and smashed the green-clad plumber into a wafer thin object (Don’t worry, he’s still alive, just feeling what his rival felt.)
”Wahaha!! How does it feel to be a pancake, Luigi?” Waluigi laughed and pointed his finger at Luigi.
“..I’m not-a interested in your taunts..” Luigi shrugged off the teasing and waddled off the stage.
“WHY YOU LITTLE SMART ALECK!!!” Waluigi furiously stomped his long leg and tried to flatten Luigi even further, however Wario decided to stop him short.
“Waluigi, enough! That dopey brother already got his just desserts! Besides, Glasses is watching!” Wario quietly calmed down his lanky partner and pointed to an agitated Ritsuko, who’s somehow glaring at them and have a dark ominous aura to boot!
“Anyways, it looks like little Miss Onigiri goofed the second time.” Wario returned his gaze to the stage when he witnessed Miki get conked on the head with a large basin pan.
“Ooh..what pretty stars…” Miki mumbled in a daze with her eyes rolling and stars pretty much over her head as she wobbled out of the stage and into Producer-san. “Huh? P.Producer-san? Since when did you become twins??”
”Oh boy..looks like Miki-Miki’s in a daze!” Mami reacted quietly, fortunately, Ami just smiled, knowing this situation’s under control.
“Don’t worry, Mami! I know just the thing to get her back to her senses!” Ami rushed into Miki’s bag and pulled out one of the Mushroom Onigiri she brought along.
Holding the onigiri near Miki’s nose, Ami waited patiently. Then, before anyone else could react, Miki snapped out of her daze, grabbed the onigiri, and began to chew it.
“Thanks for the onigiri!” Miki thanked Ami as she finished up her snack.
Chihaya and Mario didn’t fare any better, as two basic pans flew in. Chihaya walked out of the stage with a slight injury on the back of her head, while the basin pan hit Mario hard enough on the head that his hat became stuck.
“Hey! Whoza big idea was dat?! Who turned out de lights?!” Mario struggled to get his hat loosened up, only to tumble out of the stage.
As Producer-san and Yoshi attempt to loosen Mario’s hat, the outcome of the event seems to edging between Haruka and Princess Peach.
“So looks like we’re in quite a standoff this time, eh Princess?” Haruka calmly smiled at the blonde haired princess.
“It’s just left to us, now, and this time, I’ll have to carry on this battle without Mario. May the best lady win, and whoever loses, no hard feelings, right?” Peach looked at the determined Idol.
“Yeah! Just don’t hold back on me, alright?” Haruka replied, readying for the final chord.
*End Theme*
“Alright then, ladies, since this is the final part, let’s so turn up the music!!” King K. changed music discs and gets a new tune ready!
*Insert Theme: “Always Smiling” (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)* (Pretty fitting for the final round if you ask me..)
Bright red and pink spotlights poured over the stage as Haruka and Peach danced their hardest, keeping to the beat of the song. The audience cheered wildly, hoping for either the high spirted Idol or the Mushroom Kingdom princess to win! The rest of the Idols as well as Team Mario, with the exception of Wario and Waluigi, who already had lost interest since their rivals are out, joined the cheer!
“Wow, that Princess and Haruka, are really giving their all, aren’t they?” Hokuto looked in awe.
“If she’s this good at dancing, then why does she keep getting kidnapped?” Touma sulked, looking at Peach.
“Aw, brighten up, Touma! At least Mario still hangs around whenever that happens!” Shouto tries to brighten the mood, only for Touma to press his palm on his face.
The batlle went for 2 minutes straight, until Peach missed a step and tripped on the floor. The large basin appeared, but before it could hit its target, Mario jumped in the shield Peach, only to get whacked in the face by the basin pan instead!
*BONK!!!*
“OW!!” Mario yelped upon being whacked in the face by the basin pan.
*End Theme*
“Mario-san!!” Producer-san , alongside Ritsuko, ran to Mario’s aid, only to see the red plumber shake his face around to ease up the pain.
“Mario! Are you okay?” Peach got herself to check on the mustached hero.
“I’m-a okay! Though sorry you-a lost…” Mario sadly reacted, realizing the pan was meant for Peach.
“It’s alright, Mario. I did my very best.” Peach smiled, then turned to Haruka, “My, you are indeed as skilled as I heard! I’ll work harder on my techinique and someday, we’ll have to have a nice fair rematch. If that is alright with you?”
*Insert Theme: “First Place + Results (Race)” (Mario Kart Wii)*
“Definitely, Peach-hime!” Haruka smiled and shook the Princess’ hand in a friendly truce.
“Wahahaha!! That Princess Peach truly is as magnanimous as the people say! And the Idols didn’t do so bad either! I am SO glad I took the hosting part of the party! This truly is a RAWWWWWWKKKING experience!!” Rawk Hawk exclaimed happily, seeing how much fun the event has become.
“Yow! My ears! Can’t the oversized chicken calm down?!” Touma flinched, covering his ears.
“Aw, let Rawk Hawk-san have his moment, Touma! Something like this only comes once a generation, so why not we just enjoy every moment of it!” Hokuto calmly reasoned with his pal.
Pretty much not gonna be able to argue out of this, Touma quietly gave in to Hokuto’s suggestion.
“Yeah, this Dance Event may be the second one, but things are so looking up!” King K. exclaimed to the young fighting prodigy.
“You said it! Sad to see Gonzales lose again like that, but it’s good to see he knew what to do!” Yoshi Kid smiled to his yellow-shelled friend.
“One minor problem, WHY AM I NOT PART OF THIS PARTY?!?!?!” one angry voice emanated form one of the sidestreets.
*End theme with Wheel Skid and Glass Break sounds*
Everyone present at Glamour Street halted for a moment and turned to see the source of the voice, who turned out to be a furious Wendy O. Koopa, with a tired Bowser Jr. tailing behind.
*Insert Theme: “Koopaling Battle” (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)*
“A grand-sized party..WITHOUT ME?!?!?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!” Wendy yelled angrily, pretty much incredibly upset that a party is going on without her.
“Wendy, hold on a moment! Oh jeez, what’s the point reasoning with you?” Bowser Jr. frowned as the exhausted Koopa Prince went to sit down.
“Bowsa Junia!!! Whattaya doin’ here?!” Mario angrily asked the young Koopa.
“Mario, I was planning to take back Mama Peach back from you…but not in this state… whew… man, that girl can run…” Bowser Jr. huffed as he decided to help himself to some ice cream.
“’Mama Peach’? Mr. Mario, what is he talking about??” Ritsuko asked in confusion.
“Eh, dat’s-a just a claim he makes that’s untrue.” Mario shrugged.
“You’re lucky this time, ‘cause I don’t have the energy right now…you’ll just have to deal with Wendy alone. Wake me when your battle is over, alright?” Bowser Jr. asks before deciding to take a nap, though unbeknowest to him, Takane was eyeing the Koopa Prince with a strange look in her eyes.
“Well, Junior’s needing to lose a few pounds anyways, so I’ll make sure I’m the Top Star here, not you silly girls! Wendy declared.
“Wow, Haruka, does this girl turtle have some serious jealousy issues or what??” Miki asked the ribbon-wearing Idol.
“Who knows?” Haruka shrugged as all eyes were glued to this new predicament.
*End Theme*

That’s the end of another chapter! Yep, Wendy has come and she is seething mad! Originally in the Dance Event, I was planning to put the song “Do the Mario!” from “Super Mario Bros. Super Show”, but seeing how it would be unfitting to the celebrity-styled atmosphere of Glamour Street, I decided to withhold it…for now. I also watched some videos on Youtube for more research on fitting music and came across the songs from “Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix”, so I thought, why not? That game does give proof that Mario and the gang can dance! The battle with Wendy begins next chapter!
Also…this is the second time I got delayed, mainly ‘cause I had to go to a party. Can’t be helped though…

“Yeah…maybe….” Luigi responded as his head once again became a hat rack for one green hat.

*Insert Theme: “Title Theme” (Mario Kart Wii)*
The party at Glamour Street continued, although Luigi had to have a short time-out for Daisy and Yukiho to check on his injury.
“Are you going to be okay, Mr. Luigi?” Ritsuko calmly asked the green-clad plumber as Yukiho applied the antiseptic to Luigi’s lump.

“Aw, cheer up, Rawk Hawk-san! You’re still a champ in my book!” Hokuto arrived and placed his hand on the Glitz Pit champion’s back with a kind gesture.
“Thanks Hokuto..I really needed that.” Rawk Hawk sighed a breath of relief.
“So the 3 Idols and Mario’s team are going to have a dance off?” Touma asked, unsure if a portly plumber can even dance.
“I sure the event will go well! Besides, I’m excited to see how the pretty angels go up against the legendary Super Mario!” Shouto began to watch with excitement building up within him.
“’Super’ Mario???” Touma looked at Shouta with a confused gaze.
“What? Didn’t you know? He’s a defender of the Mushroom Kingdom as well as a plumber! Anyways, let’s see how this turns out!” Shouta responded as he redirected his group’s focus back to the planning of the dance!”
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Good Luck!” (Mario Party 3)*
On Mario’s side, it looks like the song choice for the team was already chosen.
“I think-a dis-a song is-a perfect! I believe we’ll-a have-a some-a luck with a song we-a did before!” Mario happily smiled.
“Yeah… actually I don’t see any problem with dat choice.” Luigi calmly accepted the song choice with the song choice without any objections.
“Alright, so we’re good to go?” Peach readied herself for the chance to prove her dancing mettle as well.
“Yep, we’re good to-a go!” Mario cheerfully fastened his hat, ready for the big chance that all of the group prepared for days before.
On the Idols’ side, there was a bit of a debate..
“Are you certain about this, Haruka? After all, it’s just us three this time.” Chihaya asked Haruka in utter confusion.
“Of course I’m sure! Remember when we hosted shows before? We worked really good together there! I’m sure this Dance Event is gonna be no different!” Haruka gleefully exclaimed.
“Um, I’m actually gonna agree with Chihaya this time. Remember what happened to Iori? She was hurt because that crazy ninja turtles ruined the event with their antics!” Miki reacted in a concerned matter, recalling that incident and seeing Iori wince in the thought of what might happen.
“Don’t worry, you three! We’ll make sure to keep a really sharp watch around to make sure nothing bad happens!” Producer-san assured the trio, with Ritsuko agreeing with a calm nod.
“Your skinny Producer’s right about that, pretty Idols! I received word from some bean-headed prince with a sword about that incident, and, let me tell you, anyone who even DARES try to ruin this Dance Event under my watch is gonna getting a RAWWWWWKKKKING of a lifetime!” Rawk Hawk made a bold compromise, while a flaming aura engulfed his muscular form.
“Thanks, Rawk Hawk-san! We’ll all do our best with that in mind!” Haruka smiled at Rawk Hawk, which somehow made the big guy blush all over!
Chihaya, reassured that the Dance Event will not be interrupted this time, asked, “So, are we ready to go?”
“Yeah!!” Haruka and Miki surely were ready as the trio walked to their part of the stage.
*End Theme*
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ Diamond Stage*
*Musicless (for the time being…)*
The stage was darkened for a short moment, with the rest of Team Mario and the Idols, as well as everyone in the audience, waiting in anticipation for what happens next. Then, all of sudden, the spotlights began to shine, each on Haruka, Chihaya, Miki, Mario, Luigi, and then Peach.
Rawk Hawk then quickly announced, “All right, teams! Time for you all to RAWWWWKK out really hard! 3…2…1…GO!”
*Insert Team Mario’s Dance Theme: “Jump! Jump! Jump!” (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)*
Mario led the dancing aspect and the main dance, with Luigi and Peach joining along, with skilled jumps, twirls, and multiple steps to the beat of the music.
“Hehe… had a feeling you’d start off big, Gonzales?” Rawk Hawk anticipated the effort Mario was showing and smiled.
“Whoa…Were they practicing beforehand???” Producer-san stood in shock, unable to remove his eyes from the dance scene and acknowledging the fact that Idols have their work cut out for them.
“From the way Mr. Mario, Mr. Luigi, and Princess Peach get to the beat of their own song, I’d say yes.” Ritsuko concluded, unable to avert her gaze as well.
Mario, Luigi, and Peach already are proving to be as formidable as they come from hours of dance practice back at the castle. However, the three Idols are not going to sit around as they readied their song…
*Temporarily end theme, Insert Team 765 Pro’s Dance Theme: “CHANGE!!” (The iDOLMASTER 2)*
Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki quickly dance in perfect unison to their own beat, neither one missing a beat. All eyes watching then turn to the Idols, then to Team Mario, then back to the Idols. To add to the feel of the beat, the Idols decide to add the lyrics to spice things up.
“Yep, still got the rhythm!” Producer-san smiled as he watched the dance off.
“I’ll say, they are representing us pretty well, Producer-san. However, it looks to Mr. Mario’s team is not going to make things easy.” Ritsuko pointed out quietly.
*Temporarily End Theme, Resume Team Mario Dance Theme*
Mario took a quick look of interest at Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki as he, Luigi, and Peach resume their dance. “Those-a three are-a really giving it their all. Along with the rest of da Idols, they all look like dey are-a having a lotta fun. Their show are-a very-a successful because they always-a show da kind kind of enthusiasm. Well, Iknow they aren’t-a holding back and-a neither am I! just-a one thing-a bothers me, though. I haven’t-a yet seen-a Bowsa. Is he just-a lying in-a wait or what?” The red-clad plumber thought of how skilled the trio is and of why nemesis has not shown up yet, making him a bit suspicious.
“Uh, Bro? The song’s-a ending and the Idols as well as us are pretty much in a stalemate! What should we do?” Luigi asked as he realized both the songs are ending with no clear advantage against either team.
“That’s a pretty good question, Luigi. Even I have not thought ahead of this…” Peach answered as the songs were nearing the last verses.
“Don’t worry, Princess! I thought ahead with this kind of result!” Rawk Hawk quickly responded with a press of a button a remote he just pulled out of his pants pocket.
Suddenly, another stage with a star pattern on the top appeared from out of the ground, much to the shock of everyone who witnessed.
*End Theme*
“Whoa…Rawk-a Hawk, whatza goin’ on??” Mario asked his former rival, trying to get mind back together from the shock.
“Well, Gonzales old pal, since the songs have ended and neither your team or that of the Idols had their Dance Meter drop to squat! Personally, I wouldn’t expect any less! So the time has come to take this event into Sudden Death Mode!!!” The Glitz Pit champion cheerfully explained, anxiously hoping for something like this to happen!
“SUDDEN DEATH?!?!” The rest of Team Mario and the Idols, as well as the Jupiter trio yell in a totally aghast manner.
“Yep, an endless dance off with one song! This time, the Dance Meter is replaced with the Sudden Death meter, with only two bars, and anyone who blunders their steps two times is out!”
“…I don’t want to know how that who mess up twice are counted ‘out’, do I?” Ritsuko deadpanned, anticipating that something pretty ridiculous might occur sooner or later.
“Uh, Ritsuko? Maybe it’s best you don’t think about it..” Yoshi Kid reacted in an unusually quiet tone.
“Little runt there’s got a point there. There has a lot of craziness happening already.” Touma decided to join in with a sigh.
“Now if all participants will join in for the Sudden Death Round, we will begin!” Rawk Hawk announced as the two trios step onto the stage Oh, and don’t worry, nobody’s gonna kick the bucket with this!.
*Mushroom City ~ Glamour Street ~ Diamond Stage ~ Sudden Death Stage*
*Musicless (once again…for now)*
Mario, Luigi, Peach, Haruka, Chihaya, and Miki step on the step and wait in anticipation to what song will be put on. All of a sudden, the spotlights turned to them and a song began to play.
“Mamma mia! Dis is-a gonna be nuts!” Mario yelped in an alert tone.
*Insert Theme: “Kiramekirai” (The iDOLMASTER)* (Just had to, to make things even..)
“Oh my… I remember this song from your shows!” Luigi shouted out loud.
“Wait a minute, I remember Yayoi doing this song!” Miki shouted out in surprise.
“Well I thought you Idols would stand an even chance if it was one of your themes, right! Good thing I was researching on the Internet beforehand…though it seems to be exciting little Puffy Hair over at the stands….” Rawk Hawk winked, only to look at an excited Yayoi.
“Eh-ehhh!!! Mr. Big Bird has set up my song for the party! Eh-ehh!” Yayoi chirped happily, obviously for the wrong reason, enough to make Iori and Yoshi glance at her with an unimpressed demeanor.
“Uh..Yoshi… Don’t you think this is the wrong reaction for something like this?” Iori deadpanned looking at the cheerful Yayoi.
“…Maybe.. but let’s not ruin the mood and just enjoy the show, okay Iori?” Yoshi sighed as he returned his gaze back to the action.
“..Good point.” Iori calmed down, surprised on the way Yoshi took the hapless situation without making it worse.
“Anyways, the final dance-off began and the odds were still evenly matched against Team Mario and the Idols until..
“Oh no!” Luigi missed on a step the second time, then, out of nowhere, a large basin pan appeared and smashed the green-clad plumber into a wafer thin object (Don’t worry, he’s still alive, just feeling what his rival felt.)
”Wahaha!! How does it feel to be a pancake, Luigi?” Waluigi laughed and pointed his finger at Luigi.
“..I’m not-a interested in your taunts..” Luigi shrugged off the teasing and waddled off the stage.
“WHY YOU LITTLE SMART ALECK!!!” Waluigi furiously stomped his long leg and tried to flatten Luigi even further, however Wario decided to stop him short.
“Waluigi, enough! That dopey brother already got his just desserts! Besides, Glasses is watching!” Wario quietly calmed down his lanky partner and pointed to an agitated Ritsuko, who’s somehow glaring at them and have a dark ominous aura to boot!
“Anyways, it looks like little Miss Onigiri goofed the second time.” Wario returned his gaze to the stage when he witnessed Miki get conked on the head with a large basin pan.
“Ooh..what pretty stars…” Miki mumbled in a daze with her eyes rolling and stars pretty much over her head as she wobbled out of the stage and into Producer-san. “Huh? P.Producer-san? Since when did you become twins??”
”Oh boy..looks like Miki-Miki’s in a daze!” Mami reacted quietly, fortunately, Ami just smiled, knowing this situation’s under control.
“Don’t worry, Mami! I know just the thing to get her back to her senses!” Ami rushed into Miki’s bag and pulled out one of the Mushroom Onigiri she brought along.
Holding the onigiri near Miki’s nose, Ami waited patiently. Then, before anyone else could react, Miki snapped out of her daze, grabbed the onigiri, and began to chew it.
“Thanks for the onigiri!” Miki thanked Ami as she finished up her snack.
Chihaya and Mario didn’t fare any better, as two basic pans flew in. Chihaya walked out of the stage with a slight injury on the back of her head, while the basin pan hit Mario hard enough on the head that his hat became stuck.
“Hey! Whoza big idea was dat?! Who turned out de lights?!” Mario struggled to get his hat loosened up, only to tumble out of the stage.
As Producer-san and Yoshi attempt to loosen Mario’s hat, the outcome of the event seems to edging between Haruka and Princess Peach.
“So looks like we’re in quite a standoff this time, eh Princess?” Haruka calmly smiled at the blonde haired princess.
“It’s just left to us, now, and this time, I’ll have to carry on this battle without Mario. May the best lady win, and whoever loses, no hard feelings, right?” Peach looked at the determined Idol.
“Yeah! Just don’t hold back on me, alright?” Haruka replied, readying for the final chord.
*End Theme*
“Alright then, ladies, since this is the final part, let’s so turn up the music!!” King K. changed music discs and gets a new tune ready!
*Insert Theme: “Always Smiling” (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)* (Pretty fitting for the final round if you ask me..)
Bright red and pink spotlights poured over the stage as Haruka and Peach danced their hardest, keeping to the beat of the song. The audience cheered wildly, hoping for either the high spirted Idol or the Mushroom Kingdom princess to win! The rest of the Idols as well as Team Mario, with the exception of Wario and Waluigi, who already had lost interest since their rivals are out, joined the cheer!
“Wow, that Princess and Haruka, are really giving their all, aren’t they?” Hokuto looked in awe.
“If she’s this good at dancing, then why does she keep getting kidnapped?” Touma sulked, looking at Peach.
“Aw, brighten up, Touma! At least Mario still hangs around whenever that happens!” Shouto tries to brighten the mood, only for Touma to press his palm on his face.
The batlle went for 2 minutes straight, until Peach missed a step and tripped on the floor. The large basin appeared, but before it could hit its target, Mario jumped in the shield Peach, only to get whacked in the face by the basin pan instead!
*BONK!!!*
“OW!!” Mario yelped upon being whacked in the face by the basin pan.
*End Theme*
“Mario-san!!” Producer-san , alongside Ritsuko, ran to Mario’s aid, only to see the red plumber shake his face around to ease up the pain.
“Mario! Are you okay?” Peach got herself to check on the mustached hero.
“I’m-a okay! Though sorry you-a lost…” Mario sadly reacted, realizing the pan was meant for Peach.
“It’s alright, Mario. I did my very best.” Peach smiled, then turned to Haruka, “My, you are indeed as skilled as I heard! I’ll work harder on my techinique and someday, we’ll have to have a nice fair rematch. If that is alright with you?”
*Insert Theme: “First Place + Results (Race)” (Mario Kart Wii)*
“Definitely, Peach-hime!” Haruka smiled and shook the Princess’ hand in a friendly truce.
“Wahahaha!! That Princess Peach truly is as magnanimous as the people say! And the Idols didn’t do so bad either! I am SO glad I took the hosting part of the party! This truly is a RAWWWWWWKKKING experience!!” Rawk Hawk exclaimed happily, seeing how much fun the event has become.
“Yow! My ears! Can’t the oversized chicken calm down?!” Touma flinched, covering his ears.
“Aw, let Rawk Hawk-san have his moment, Touma! Something like this only comes once a generation, so why not we just enjoy every moment of it!” Hokuto calmly reasoned with his pal.
Pretty much not gonna be able to argue out of this, Touma quietly gave in to Hokuto’s suggestion.
“Yeah, this Dance Event may be the second one, but things are so looking up!” King K. exclaimed to the young fighting prodigy.
“You said it! Sad to see Gonzales lose again like that, but it’s good to see he knew what to do!” Yoshi Kid smiled to his yellow-shelled friend.
“One minor problem, WHY AM I NOT PART OF THIS PARTY?!?!?!” one angry voice emanated form one of the sidestreets.
*End theme with Wheel Skid and Glass Break sounds*
Everyone present at Glamour Street halted for a moment and turned to see the source of the voice, who turned out to be a furious Wendy O. Koopa, with a tired Bowser Jr. tailing behind.
*Insert Theme: “Koopaling Battle” (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)*
“A grand-sized party..WITHOUT ME?!?!?! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!” Wendy yelled angrily, pretty much incredibly upset that a party is going on without her.
“Wendy, hold on a moment! Oh jeez, what’s the point reasoning with you?” Bowser Jr. frowned as the exhausted Koopa Prince went to sit down.
“Bowsa Junia!!! Whattaya doin’ here?!” Mario angrily asked the young Koopa.
“Mario, I was planning to take back Mama Peach back from you…but not in this state… whew… man, that girl can run…” Bowser Jr. huffed as he decided to help himself to some ice cream.
“’Mama Peach’? Mr. Mario, what is he talking about??” Ritsuko asked in confusion.
“Eh, dat’s-a just a claim he makes that’s untrue.” Mario shrugged.
“You’re lucky this time, ‘cause I don’t have the energy right now…you’ll just have to deal with Wendy alone. Wake me when your battle is over, alright?” Bowser Jr. asks before deciding to take a nap, though unbeknowest to him, Takane was eyeing the Koopa Prince with a strange look in her eyes.
“Well, Junior’s needing to lose a few pounds anyways, so I’ll make sure I’m the Top Star here, not you silly girls! Wendy declared.
“Wow, Haruka, does this girl turtle have some serious jealousy issues or what??” Miki asked the ribbon-wearing Idol.
“Who knows?” Haruka shrugged as all eyes were glued to this new predicament.
*End Theme*

That’s the end of another chapter! Yep, Wendy has come and she is seething mad! Originally in the Dance Event, I was planning to put the song “Do the Mario!” from “Super Mario Bros. Super Show”, but seeing how it would be unfitting to the celebrity-styled atmosphere of Glamour Street, I decided to withhold it…for now. I also watched some videos on Youtube for more research on fitting music and came across the songs from “Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix”, so I thought, why not? That game does give proof that Mario and the gang can dance! The battle with Wendy begins next chapter!
Also…this is the second time I got delayed, mainly ‘cause I had to go to a party. Can’t be helped though…
