Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bring in another chapter to the fanfic! Wow, it’s been a few months since I started and now I’m up to Chapter 17?? At least I had time in my hands. Anyways, with the appearance of Vivian, Beldam and Marilyn will join in soon…though Marilyn’s not much of a talker… Anyways, I do not 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 continue with the Party!
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 17
Into Scary Creepy Steeple! Enter Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss!
*Peach’s Castle ~ Main Hall ~ Morning*
*Insert Theme: “Shadow Sirens’ Theme” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
Mario and Luigi walk inside the castle in hopes of planning the next part of the Party, but what the duo of super brothers did not expect, was to see some of the Idols start a friendly conversation with the youngest Shadow Siren, Vivian.
“So Vivian how did you arrive??” Ritsuko calmly asked to Shadow Siren.
“Hmmhmmhmm! Sis received a call from ol’ Toadsworth that all three of us as well as an old friend of ours are given spots as hosts of the next part of the Party, which is to be held at Creepy Steeple, a place a bit far from the nearest town, Twilight Town.” Vivian cheerfully answered the intelligent idol’s question,. Unfortunately, Luigi, Yukiho and and Makoto overherad the conversation and stiffened in fear as if being jolted directly in the spine.
“Creepy?? I don’t like the sound of that…” Makoto meekly commented, while Luigi and Yukiho began to feel very frightened, enough for the timid Idol to show tears in her eyes and the green plumber to lose color.
“Well, the place isn’t called Creepy Steeple for nothing!” Vivian shrugged, but then Iori crept out with a scary look in her eyes as if she passed the audition for a horror flick.
“…Makoto..Yukiho…Luigi!!!!!” Iori she cried out to the trio as if she looked like a zombie out of a nightmare!
“YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The trio screamed in utter fright, enough for Yukiho to quickly put her new Diamond Shovel and dug in to the ground like crazy and for Luigi to fall backwards before passing out and having a small ghost that looked a little like him pop out of his mouth!
“Heeheehee! Did I scare you?” Iori cutely asked, to which Makoto comically got agitated.
“You nearly scared our hearts out!” The boyishly handsome Idol snapped, with Yukiho sheepishly peeking out of the hole and Luigi still seeing stars with Daisy trying to wake him up.
Ritsuko facepalmed and responded in an unsatisfied tone. “If everyone here’s done clowning around, should we head to the throne room?? Mario and Princess Peach they’ll be discussing some things there!”
“Good point, Ritsuko. Let’s go!” Vivian agreed after helping Daisy carry Luigi to the room with one thought in mind. “This guy is Mario’s brother? I admit he has a unique charm, but he gets scared way too easily..” Afterwards, Yukiho peeked out of the hole and noticed the group leaving to the throne room…without her!
“Wait…WAIT FOR ME!!!” The bob-haired Idol leapt out of the hole and ran to catch up, but not before scrambling to get dirt into the hole she dug and comically dashing off to catch up with the rest of the group.
*Peach’s Castle ~ Throne Room*
*Insert Theme: “Peach’s Castle” (Super Mario 64)*
Princess Peach, along with Mario, wanted to make an important announcement to the rest of Team Mario and the Idols. Wario and Waluigi, somehow looking a little groggy due to things getting a little too noisy last night, did not have much interest and were ready to fall back to sleep.
“Everyone, thank you for taking part of this important announcement. Before we begin, there is an important thing to point out. Bowser attacked yesterday night and tried to kidnap Takane, but thanks to the quick thinking and action of Vivian, Bowser was forced to retreat.” Peach announced, to which the crowd applauded to the Shadow Siren, who blushed and rubbed the back of her head.
“Vivan, you did-a good! Thanks for-a protecting Peachy and da Idols! To-a believe dat Bowsa would attack at-a night…” Mario patted Vivian on the shoulder, to which the youngest Shadow Siren sibling turned redder than a cherry!
Peach giggled, then decided to continue the announcement, “Anyways, the next part of the party has already been decided to take place at the eerie Creepy Steeple, a good distance from the nearest village of Twilight Town; one of the volunteering hosts, the Shadow Sirens, is here with us…as well as another host…”
“Huh??” Everyone reacted in confusion, but then, as speaking of the devil, a strange figure emerge out of the pipe. Upon close inspection, this figure…closely resembles Mario in every visual way possible, however, his stance was very different.
*End Theme, Insert Theme: “Doopliss’ Theme” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
“Hello there, girls! I would tell you my real name, but my power would wane if my name was exposed. After all, who wouldn’t want to see the legendary Super Mario?” The figure proudly smirked, to which the Idols, as well as Wario and Yoshi, frown.
“Wow…is that really Mario? But I thought Mario is standing right there with Peach?” Haruka scratched her head in confusion, to which the “Mario-like” figure froze.
“That…was the worst imitation of Mario I’ve ever seen…” Wario’s jaw dropped in disdain.
Mario smirked quietly, then went slowly to the Mario look-alike, “Hoo hoo! It’s-a been awile, Doopliss!”
The Mario look-alike twitched and in a puff of purple smoke, changed to its original form, a bed sheet looking ghost with eerie red eyes under black pupils and wearing a blue party hat with red stars.
“Oh jeez, Slick! How’d you know it was me?!” Doopliss stammered, aghast at Mario’s quick deduction.
“Da chapta title and da theme name said it all” Mario smiled earnestly. (Wha…Mario!! Don’t go breaking the fourth wall too!)
*Theme slows down in a slur and ends*
Doopliss fell to his knees in utter shock. “…No….why…..how? It’s been years and yet he noticed me in a few seconds now…..this can’t be possible..” ..Yep, he’s fallen into despair. (Someone cue Nozomu Itoshiki with one of his “Zetsuboshita” moments)
*Insert Sounds: “Shave and a Haircut Outro”, then “Sad Trombone ~ Fail Sound”*
“Now now, Doopliss, we have a party to host! Besides, haven’t you been in the spotlight before?” Vivian tried to cheer up the despairing Duplighost, to which he brightened up.
“Oh yeah…I have an acting career now, alongside Flurrie!” Doopliss brightened up, his eerie red eyes sparkling.
*Insert Theme: “Main Theme” (Luigi’s Mansion)*
“Anyway, if you’re feeling better, let’s continue with the announcement. For this event in the Dimension Comet Party, Professor Elvin Gadd will also accompany us, since he overheard there’s been some paranormal activity lately and the case of missing people lately..” Peach announced, to which Luigi quickly lost tension and started turning yellow.
“Paranormal, as in..ga…ga…ghosts?” Eri asked nervously, to which Luigi screamed in terror and buried himself in the ground without warning, right before Yukiho’s eyes, to which she sweatdropped without saying a word….mainly because he buried HER in dirt.
“Um, uh, Luigi-san, I would like it better if I was not buried like this, but directly in the earth….” The timid Idol finally spoke, quietly freeing herself from the dirt thrown at her..
“..Oh yeah, I did hear you say that Luigi’s terrified of ghosts, right Daisy?” Makoto turned to the Sarasa Land princess, to which she shrugged.
“Oh wow, to him, I’m guessing it’s like some recurring nightmare, right?’ Ryou asked, rubbing the side of her head in confusion.
“A nightmare in which he desperately wants to wake up from, but can’t.” Ritsuko deadpanned, knowing this part of the party is going to turn into a horror fest and wondering if Yukiho, Makoto, Eri, and Luigi are going to be alright though all that.
“Well-a anyway, if we’re-a all done with da announcements, shall we-a head dere?” Mario asked, ready to jump back into the Multi Dimension Pipe.
“Okay!!” Everyone but Makoto, Yukiho, and Luigi spoke with glee. The three, well, not so much…
“I’m…I’m scared Makoto…” Yukiho, free from the mud, began to tremble into tears.
“Don’t worry, Yukiho. I’m not fond of this either..” Makoto tried to cheer her friend up.
“Yeah, if anyone’s go reason to be scared right now, it’s Luigi-san, right? ..Right?” Ryou agreed to Makoto and turned to face Luigi…only to find a “Weegee” board in his place, which fell down.
“Oh, that green idiot!!” Iori pouted, to which Yoshi quickly responded.
“I’ve got this!” Yoshi dashed off to find Luigi, and well…let’s just say he succeeded and leave it at that.
*Insert Sound: “Pots and Pans Falling,”*
After a short while, Yoshi dragged a panicky and crying Luigi to the pipe. Fortunately, Iori and Takane were waiting for the dino.
“Geez, wouldn’t that Luigi just come along without hiding like that??” Iori pressed her palm on her face.
“I don’t know..but who knows??” Takane sighed as she and the rich Idol follow Yoshi into the pipe.
*End Theme*
*Creepy Steeple ~ Main Entrance*
*Insert Theme: “Creepy Steeple” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
Despite it being the middle of the day, the moon was looming in the distance in a creepy fashion around the spooky landscape, filled with withered trees and made even more scary through the wolf’s howl on the full moon. The location was a building standing in the middle of the looming forest and the place, once the home of Doopliss, is now the home of a group of Boos who want nothing more than peace and quiet. The pipe popped out as Team Mario and the Idols were treated to a view of the haunted mansion. The Idols were suddenly outfitted in blood red vested dresses over white shirts wearing bat-shaped amulets and red and black bat shaped hairpieces (Kyun! Vampire Girl). As for Team Mario, they all sported different colored raiments and wizard hats with a yellow star placed on both the hat and the raiment (Attire for Horror Land from Mario Party 2) Even Yoshi sported a green raiment that somehow did nothing to cover its red saddle and a teal wizard’s hat on the head. Upon reaching the main entrance, two shadows appear on the ground; one bigger than the other. Within moments the shadows reveal to the group as the other two Shadow Sirens, Beldam, clearly the leader of the group, who wears a blue and white striped witch’s hat. Although her eyes can’t be seen, the pointed chin sticking out gave the vibe of an old hag. Marilyn, however, wore a yellow and white striped witch’s and despite her wide size and lack of speech skills, she proved to be the Shadow Sirens’ powerhouse fighter.
“Mwee-hee-hee-hee! Welcome to the Creepy Steeple my lovelies! I am Beldam, leader of the Shadow Sirens and also, one of the hosts of the part of the Dimension Comet Party!” The short Shadow Siren introduced herself in a pretty clichéd old witch tone.
“Guh-uhhhh..” That was all that Marilyn could say, due to probably not really doing so well at speech.
After looking at the Idols and Team Mario, Beldam’s gaze stopped at a familiar person wearing a bright red raiment and a red wizard’s hat.
“It’s been a while Mario…and since when have you worn sorcerer’s clothes??” Beldam asked her former enemy.
“Well-a…da last I wore-a dis was at-a da Horror Land segment of-a Mario Land…and dat was long before I-a met you..” Mario shrugged.
Tilting her head. Beldam decided to continue the announcement, “Anyways, my pretties, Boos have been living here since Freak Sheet left to become an actor.”
“Uh, it’s Doopliss, thank you..” The Duplighost retorted.
“Ugh…whatever…anyways, there have been rumors of visitors disappearing lately. Of course, since we Shadow Sirens live in Twilight Town nowadays and let go of our dark ways, we decided that we will not stand to have this mystery go unsolved! Apparently, through gathering the clues through certain Mini Games, shall the answers of who is behind these incidents and the dawn of the Super Star of Creepy Steeple be revealed to us! Also…” Beldam announced.
“Also?” Everyone, well, with the exception of Luigi and Yukiho who hid themselves underground out of fright, asked curiously.
“Starting this part of the Party, Koopa Troopa will not be at the start of the board, but have his own space, the Bank Space. Anyone who passes this space will be asked to make a five-Coin deposit. Don’t worry my dears, for if any person lands directly on the Bank Space, then he or she can have ALL the Coins that were deposited. Also, this Goomba here is made in charge of the new Duel Games. Basically, he takes a portion of your Coins to make a Duel Game occur when you step on his space. Basically, the ones in first followed by the one in second place can enjoy having the majority of the Coins being placed in their possession!” Beldam explained, to which the middle sister Marilyn agreed with a cheerful “Guh!”.
“Now, any questions before we begin, my pretties?” Beldam was ready to conclude her explanation, to which Eri raised her hand.
“Just one…why does your sister always say ‘Guh’??” The former hikikomori asked in pure confusion, trying to distract herself from the tension that was building up in her, not of excitement, but of nerves.
“Well….she’s always been a strong, silent type of girl, preferring to let actions do the talking….” Beldam sweatdropped in awkward embarrassment.
*Insert Sound Effect: “Bed Spring”*
“..Uh, anyway, all three of us Shadow Sirens, including the Freak Sheet (Doopliss: “The name’s Doopliss!”), have placed everyone here on roulette and got today’s participants. So, here they are:
Team 1: Luigi, Daisy, Toadette
Team 2: Takane, Eri, Yayoi
“My, is it time for me to shine?” Takane smirked as she set her ramen bowl down and flashed her hair.
“I’m not sure if I’m ready for this…” Eri reacted in a pretty nervous manner.
“Good luck, Yayoi!” Iori turned to her puffy haired friend, who doesn’t seem fazed at all by the amount of fear this particular part of the party. Luigi on the other hand…kinda froze up like a popsicle.
“Hey, Luigi, cheer up! At least I’m joining this time, sugar!” Daisy exclaimed to the now frightened plumber brother.
“Wait…come to think of it…who is Toadette!” Ritsuko rubbed her glasses, but as of speking of the devil, a pink Toad girl with pink plaits on her head, looking much like any other Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom, except that her main color is carnation pink.
“Hi there! Looks like I’m joining in the fun after all, right? I’m Toadette! Nice to meet you all!”
Every one of the Idols introduced themselves to the sweet Toad girl;, but then she looked at the cowering Luigi and decided to pull a simple little prank on the hapless green brother.
“Boo!” She cried out behind Luigi in a cute voice.
“YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” Luigi screamed really loud and ran in terror…into a wall.
Looking at the mishap she made, Toadette could only smile while rubbing the back of her head, “Oopsies!”
Beldam and Ritsuko frown, adding to the fact that Ami and Mami now have their sights on Doopliss, ready to make some mischief.
“Hey, you know what Ami. Let’s try having some fun with Mr. Bed Sheet here!!” Mami exclaimed looking at Doopliss, who seemed pretty irked.
“Mmm-mm! This should be a good break away from the Trouble Duo for a bit!” Ami smiled, whil;e Wario and Waluigi dropped their jaws, though this time they have a reason to sigh a breath of relief.
“H..Hey, what are you two twins doing?? What..HEY! put down that lipstick!!!” Doopliss panicked and tried to back off, but alas, the escape didn’t go well.
“Uh…Doopliss, is it? Did you cause any mischief to Mario before?” Wario asked in a deadpanned manner.
“Well…not just Mario….I kinda turned the inhabitants of Twilight Town into pigs before…I guess this would be the receiving end of the pranks, huh?” Doopliss groaned, receiving what his karma owed him.
“Yep.. pretty much…” Wario agreed, remembering the pranks and comebacks the Futami twins threw at him and Waluigi.
“Mweh-ugh…all this mischief….I really have my work cut out for me, don’t I?” Beldam drooped, not really wanting to see how the party turns out.
“Welcome to my world.” Ritsuko comforted the eldest Shadow Siren on the shoulder.
*End Theme*
Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Creepy Steeple…
*Insert Theme: “Big Boo’s Haunt” (Super Mario 64)*
An ominous shadow quietly looked at the party with utmost anticipation, hoping to take more victims. “So, even Luigi is in this party…heh heh heh….there’s no need to rush my new plan…but soon, once I have everything prepared, not only be rid of that meddlesome Luigi, but I’ll have these pretty girls as part of my collection too. Afterwards, the world will soon be begging for my mercy!”
*End Theme*
Also elsewhere…
*Bowser’s Castle ~ Basement ~ Hidden Hangar*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser’s Castle” (Mario Kart 7)*
Bowser was readying things in his Koopa Klown Kar, preparing for his next attempt since his attempt last night ended in an unforeseen failure. Kammy Koopa flew over to the garage, eager to supervise the paint job on the new Doomship, when she looked at the Koopa King.
“Your, uh…Preparedness….why are you wearing a sorcerer’s robe??” Kammy asked in confusion, looking at the black sorcerer’s robe Bowser is wearing.
“Kammy, I overheard one of the Paragoombas saying that that clod Mario and the Idols have left for Creepy Steeple. So I thought I’d dress the part for this!” Bowser answered with glee.
“So, you’re taking part of this party to cause mischief again after all?” Kammy asked quietly.
“You know it! It’s about time I revived the old Bowser Space. Maybe cause some mishaps among the Idols before I nab them along with Peach!” Bowser grinned with a thumbs up, seems he’s on a roll! Without hesitation, the dreaded Koopa King took off into the distance, leaving behind the old crone of a Magikoopa. Before long, Kamek walked in the hangar holding a bulletin in his hands.
“Mother, the liquid need for the gummy substance used for the Doomship is being procured as we speak!” Kamek gave his report to his mother.
“Excellent, son! Sadly, I would give the report to His Massiveness, if he hadn’t left in a hurry to Creepy Steeple.” Kammy drooped. Not long before she finished that sentence, Bowser arrived back all of a sudden.
“Your Majesty, what happened?? I thought you already left for Creepy Steeple!!” Kammy Koopa asked the Koopa King in a bewildered state.
All that came out of the embarrassed Koopa King was “..I forgot to refuel the darn thing!!” and pointed to the fuel gauge, which is inching close to empty! His last incident with his last Koopa Klown Kar, which now rests quietly in the bottom of the sea, taught the Koopa King to be more prepared in case something like that were to happen again!
“So…do either of you two know how to refill this heap??” Bowser quietly asked, to which the Magikoopa mother and son fall comically on their backs.
*End Theme*
Well, that’s the end of another chapter! Beldam and Marilyn are ready to host, but poor Doopliss, now ending up on the receiving end of the pranks of the Futami twins! However, a dark force is at work and boy does it hate poor Luigi! But why Luigi instead of Mario? You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out! Man…to be delayed by a temporary power outage….I really can’t believe myself…Oh well.
Also, I think it’s pretty funny when Luigi is scared out of his wits, but is that mean?

Description
CrystalPhoenixBlader here, bring in another chapter to the fanfic! Wow, it’s been a few months since I started and now I’m up to Chapter 17?? At least I had time in my hands. Anyways, with the appearance of Vivian, Beldam and Marilyn will join in soon…though Marilyn’s not much of a talker… Anyways, I do not 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 continue with the Party!
**Mario & iDOLMASTER Party**
Chapter 17
Into Scary Creepy Steeple! Enter Beldam, Marilyn, and Doopliss!
*Peach’s Castle ~ Main Hall ~ Morning*
*Insert Theme: “Shadow Sirens’ Theme” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
Mario and Luigi walk inside the castle in hopes of planning the next part of the Party, but what the duo of super brothers did not expect, was to see some of the Idols start a friendly conversation with the youngest Shadow Siren, Vivian.
“So Vivian how did you arrive??” Ritsuko calmly asked to Shadow Siren.
“Hmmhmmhmm! Sis received a call from ol’ Toadsworth that all three of us as well as an old friend of ours are given spots as hosts of the next part of the Party, which is to be held at Creepy Steeple, a place a bit far from the nearest town, Twilight Town.” Vivian cheerfully answered the intelligent idol’s question,.

“YAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!” The trio screamed in utter fright, enough for Yukiho to quickly put her new Diamond Shovel and dug in to the ground like crazy and for Luigi to fall backwards before passing out and having a small ghost that looked a little like him pop out of his mouth!
“Heeheehee! Did I scare you?” Iori cutely asked, to which Makoto comically got agitated.
“You nearly scared our hearts out!” The boyishly handsome Idol snapped, with Yukiho sheepishly peeking out of the hole and Luigi still seeing stars with Daisy trying to wake him up.

“Wait…WAIT FOR ME!!!” The bob-haired Idol leapt out of the hole and ran to catch up, but not before scrambling to get dirt into the hole she dug and comically dashing off to catch up with the rest of the group.
*Peach’s Castle ~ Throne Room*
*Insert Theme: “Peach’s Castle” (Super Mario 64)*
Princess Peach, along with Mario, wanted to make an important announcement to the rest of Team Mario and the Idols. Wario and Waluigi, somehow looking a little groggy due to things getting a little too noisy last night, did not have much interest and were ready to fall back to sleep.
“Everyone, thank you for taking part of this important announcement. Before we begin, there is an important thing to point out.

*Theme slows down in a slur and ends*
Doopliss fell to his knees in utter shock. “…No….why…..how? It’s been years and yet he noticed me in a few seconds now…..this can’t be possible..” ..Yep, he’s fallen into despair. (Someone cue Nozomu Itoshiki with one of his “Zetsuboshita” moments)
*Insert Sounds: “Shave and a Haircut Outro”, then “Sad Trombone ~ Fail Sound”*
“Now now, Doopliss, we have a party to host! Besides, haven’t you been in the spotlight before?” Vivian tried to cheer up the despairing Duplighost, to which he brightened up.
“Oh yeah…I have an acting career now, alongside Flurrie!” Doopliss brightened up, his eerie red eyes sparkling.
*Insert Theme: “Main Theme” (Luigi’s Mansion)*
“Anyway, if you’re feeling better, let’s continue with the announcement.

“Well-a anyway, if we’re-a all done with da announcements, shall we-a head dere?” Mario asked, ready to jump back into the Multi Dimension Pipe.
“Okay!!” Everyone but Makoto, Yukiho, and Luigi spoke with glee. The three, well, not so much…
“I’m…I’m scared Makoto…” Yukiho, free from the mud, began to tremble into tears.
“Don’t worry, Yukiho. I’m not fond of this either..” Makoto tried to cheer her friend up.
“Yeah, if anyone’s go reason to be scared right now, it’s Luigi-san, right? ..Right?” Ryou agreed to Makoto and turned to face Luigi…only to find a “Weegee” board in his place, which fell down.
“Oh, that green idiot!!” Iori pouted, to which Yoshi quickly responded.
“I’ve got this!” Yoshi dashed off to find Luigi, and well…let’s just say he succeeded and leave it at that.
*Insert Sound: “Pots and Pans Falling,”*

*Creepy Steeple ~ Main Entrance*
*Insert Theme: “Creepy Steeple” (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)*
Despite it being the middle of the day, the moon was looming in the distance in a creepy fashion around the spooky landscape, filled with withered trees and made even more scary through the wolf’s howl on the full moon. The location was a building standing in the middle of the looming forest and the place, once the home of Doopliss, is now the home of a group of Boos who want nothing more than peace and quiet. The pipe popped out as Team Mario and the Idols were treated to a view of the haunted mansion. The Idols were suddenly outfitted in blood red vested dresses over white shirts wearing bat-shaped amulets and red and black bat shaped hairpieces (Kyun! Vampire Girl). As for Team Mario, they all sported different colored raiments and wizard hats with a yellow star placed on both the hat and the raiment (Attire for Horror Land from Mario Party 2) Even Yoshi sported a green raiment that somehow did nothing to cover its red saddle and a teal wizard’s hat on the head. Upon reaching the main entrance, two shadows appear on the ground; one bigger than the other. Within moments the shadows reveal to the group as the other two Shadow Sirens, Beldam, clearly the leader of the group, who wears a blue and white striped witch’s hat. Although her eyes can’t be seen, the pointed chin sticking out gave the vibe of an old hag. Marilyn, however, wore a yellow and white striped witch’s and despite her wide size and lack of speech skills, she proved to be the Shadow Sirens’ powerhouse fighter.
“Mwee-hee-hee-hee! Welcome to the Creepy Steeple my lovelies! I am Beldam, leader of the Shadow Sirens and also, one of the hosts of the part of the Dimension Comet Party!” The short Shadow Siren introduced herself in a pretty clichéd old witch tone.
“Guh-uhhhh..” That was all that Marilyn could say, due to probably not really doing so well at speech.
After looking at the Idols and Team Mario, Beldam’s gaze stopped at a familiar person wearing a bright red raiment and a red wizard’s hat.
“It’s been a while Mario…and since when have you worn sorcerer’s clothes??” Beldam asked her former enemy.
“Well-a…da last I wore-a dis was at-a da Horror Land segment of-a Mario Land…and dat was long before I-a met you..” Mario shrugged.
Tilting her head. Beldam decided to continue the announcement, “Anyways, my pretties, Boos have been living here since Freak Sheet left to become an actor.”

“Starting this part of the Party, Koopa Troopa will not be at the start of the board, but have his own space, the Bank Space. Anyone who passes this space will be asked to make a five-Coin deposit. Don’t worry my dears, for if any person lands directly on the Bank Space, then he or she can have ALL the Coins that were deposited. Also, this Goomba here is made in charge of the new Duel Games. Basically, he takes a portion of your Coins to make a Duel Game occur when you step on his space. Basically, the ones in first followed by the one in second place can enjoy having the majority of the Coins being placed in their possession!” Beldam explained, to which the middle sister Marilyn agreed with a cheerful “Guh!”.
“Now, any questions before we begin, my pretties?” Beldam was ready to conclude her explanation, to which Eri raised her hand.
“Just one…why does your sister always say ‘Guh’??” The former hikikomori asked in pure confusion, trying to distract herself from the tension that was building up in her, not of excitement, but of nerves.
“Well….she’s always been a strong, silent type of girl, preferring to let actions do the talking….” Beldam sweatdropped in awkward embarrassment.
*Insert Sound Effect: “Bed Spring”*
“..Uh, anyway, all three of us Shadow Sirens, including the Freak Sheet (Doopliss: “The name’s Doopliss!”), have placed everyone here on roulette and got today’s participants. So, here they are:
Team 1: Luigi, Daisy, Toadette
Team 2: Takane, Eri, Yayoi
“My, is it time for me to shine?” Takane smirked as she set her ramen bowl down and flashed her hair.
“I’m not sure if I’m ready for this…” Eri reacted in a pretty nervous manner.
“Good luck, Yayoi!” Iori turned to her puffy haired friend, who doesn’t seem fazed at all by the amount of fear this particular part of the party. Luigi on the other hand…kinda froze up like a popsicle.
“Hey, Luigi, cheer up! At least I’m joining this time, sugar!” Daisy exclaimed to the now frightened plumber brother.
“Wait…come to think of it…who is Toadette!” Ritsuko rubbed her glasses, but as of speking of the devil, a pink Toad girl with pink plaits on her head, looking much like any other Toad in the Mushroom Kingdom, except that her main color is carnation pink.
“Hi there! Looks like I’m joining in the fun after all, right? I’m Toadette! Nice to meet you all!”
Every one of the Idols introduced themselves to the sweet Toad girl;, but then she looked at the cowering Luigi and decided to pull a simple little prank on the hapless green brother.
“Boo!” She cried out behind Luigi in a cute voice.
“YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!” Luigi screamed really loud and ran in terror…into a wall.
Looking at the mishap she made, Toadette could only smile while rubbing the back of her head, “Oopsies!”
Beldam and Ritsuko frown, adding to the fact that Ami and Mami now have their sights on Doopliss, ready to make some mischief.
“Hey, you know what Ami. Let’s try having some fun with Mr. Bed Sheet here!!” Mami exclaimed looking at Doopliss, who seemed pretty irked.
“Mmm-mm! This should be a good break away from the Trouble Duo for a bit!” Ami smiled, whil;e Wario and Waluigi dropped their jaws, though this time they have a reason to sigh a breath of relief.
“H..Hey, what are you two twins doing?? What..HEY! put down that lipstick!!!” Doopliss panicked and tried to back off, but alas, the escape didn’t go well.
“Uh…Doopliss, is it? Did you cause any mischief to Mario before?” Wario asked in a deadpanned manner.
“Well…not just Mario….I kinda turned the inhabitants of Twilight Town into pigs before…I guess this would be the receiving end of the pranks, huh?” Doopliss groaned, receiving what his karma owed him.
“Yep.. pretty much…” Wario agreed, remembering the pranks and comebacks the Futami twins threw at him and Waluigi.
“Mweh-ugh…all this mischief….I really have my work cut out for me, don’t I?” Beldam drooped, not really wanting to see how the party turns out.
“Welcome to my world.” Ritsuko comforted the eldest Shadow Siren on the shoulder.

Meanwhile, in the shadows of the Creepy Steeple…
*Insert Theme: “Big Boo’s Haunt” (Super Mario 64)*
An ominous shadow quietly looked at the party with utmost anticipation, hoping to take more victims. “So, even Luigi is in this party…heh heh heh….there’s no need to rush my new plan…but soon, once I have everything prepared, not only be rid of that meddlesome Luigi, but I’ll have these pretty girls as part of my collection too. Afterwards, the world will soon be begging for my mercy!”
*End Theme*
Also elsewhere…
*Bowser’s Castle ~ Basement ~ Hidden Hangar*
*Insert Theme: “Bowser’s Castle” (Mario Kart 7)*
Bowser was readying things in his Koopa Klown Kar, preparing for his next attempt since his attempt last night ended in an unforeseen failure. Kammy Koopa flew over to the garage, eager to supervise the paint job on the new Doomship, when she looked at the Koopa King.
“Your, uh…Preparedness….why are you wearing a sorcerer’s robe??” Kammy asked in confusion, looking at the black sorcerer’s robe Bowser is wearing.
“Kammy, I overheard one of the Paragoombas saying that that clod Mario and the Idols have left for Creepy Steeple. So I thought I’d dress the part for this!” Bowser answered with glee.
“So, you’re taking part of this party to cause mischief again after all?” Kammy asked quietly.
“You know it! It’s about time I revived the old Bowser Space. Maybe cause some mishaps among the Idols before I nab them along with Peach!” Bowser grinned with a thumbs up, seems he’s on a roll! Without hesitation, the dreaded Koopa King took off into the distance, leaving behind the old crone of a Magikoopa. Before long, Kamek walked in the hangar holding a bulletin in his hands.
“Mother, the liquid need for the gummy substance used for the Doomship is being procured as we speak!” Kamek gave his report to his mother.
“Excellent, son! Sadly, I would give the report to His Massiveness, if he hadn’t left in a hurry to Creepy Steeple.” Kammy drooped. Not long before she finished that sentence, Bowser arrived back all of a sudden.
“Your Majesty, what happened?? I thought you already left for Creepy Steeple!!” Kammy Koopa asked the Koopa King in a bewildered state.
All that came out of the embarrassed Koopa King was “..I forgot to refuel the darn thing!!” and pointed to the fuel gauge, which is inching close to empty! His last incident with his last Koopa Klown Kar, which now rests quietly in the bottom of the sea, taught the Koopa King to be more prepared in case something like that were to happen again!
“So…do either of you two know how to refill this heap??” Bowser quietly asked, to which the Magikoopa mother and son fall comically on their backs.
*End Theme*
Well, that’s the end of another chapter! Beldam and Marilyn are ready to host, but poor Doopliss, now ending up on the receiving end of the pranks of the Futami twins! However, a dark force is at work and boy does it hate poor Luigi! But why Luigi instead of Mario? You’ll just have to stay tuned to find out! Man…to be delayed by a temporary power outage….I really can’t believe myself…Oh well.
Also, I think it’s pretty funny when Luigi is scared out of his wits, but is that mean?
