Kouja no Senshi OAV 4 159

Kouja no Senshi
OAV 4: Count Bleck Arc
Act 159: The Mansion and Mystery Servants

(OP: Moonlight Densetsu by Nakagawa Shoko)

Narrator: Previously on Kouja no Senshi...

Princess Peach: ...And then before I knew it, I awoke and saw Mario, you, and Tippi.

Seviper: (worried) Seviper.

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet!

Magus: Hmmm...my best guess is that the teleportation must've knocked you all unconscious. We woke the others up...

Amy Rose: No thanks needed!

Meowth: (annoyed) Who said?

Crono: But we have to use soup to wake Peach herself up.

Merlon: Well, my dear... That is most assuredly a tale of woe and troubles.

Princess Peach: Oh, Mario... What do you suppose happened to Luigi, the others with us and Bowser?

Mario: According to Mordecai, Rigby and the ones who got away with ya, The 4 sisters, Dr. Ghastly, Skarr, Hector, Jessie, James, Oswald, jake, Misty, Plucky, Hampton, Dizzy and Calamity got hypnotized.

Samus: I think the ZIO versions of yourself, the Marios, Bowser. etc. face the same problem. Luigi, Bowser, who knows?

Princess Peach: Mm, I suppose you're right... There's just no way to know. I just hope they're safe...

Mario: (thinks) Hmmm....

Numbuh 2: Well, there's only 1 way to be sure...

Stitch: Hit them over the head and see if we can knock them out of it?

Numbuh 2: Sounds fun but we don't want to do that if that girl with Count Bleck try to hypnotize them again.

Tippi: Merlon... What should we do next?

Merlon: "And one Pure Heart shall lead the way to the next..." So it is written. There are still more Heart Pillars to be found in Flipside, young ones. When you find the next Heart Pillar, you must set a Pure Heart in it. And when you do so, a door to the world containing the next Pure Heart will appear.

The group snods a bit.

Serena: So we just need to find the next Heart Pillar then?

Merlon: And...my intuition tells me the next door may lead you to the mysterious Merlee.

Mr. Fussy: "Merlee?"

Merlon: Like Bestovius and I, Merlee is one of the Ancients... We are like long-lost cousins. Yes... I have heard that Merlee has guarded an ancient and secret treasure. If my instincts are correct, it may be the next Pure Heart we seek. I must tell you, the Light Prognosticus also speaks of her magical powers...

Princess Peach: So... We just need to find this Merlee person, is that it?

Merlon: Oh ho, are you going as well? You should not tax yourself. You've only just recovered...and...it may be dangerous.

Princess Peach: Well, I can't just sit here and let everyone else go off to save the worlds, now, can I? After all, The Void that is spreading in the sky is my fault. Mine and Bowser's...

Donald: Awww, phooey!

Daisy: It wasn't your fault. Count Bleck force ya into the whole thing.

Princess Daisy: Right, there's no reason to be guilty.

Princess Peach: Still...

She turns to Mario, and he shakes his head. She turns back to Merlon.

Princess Peach: So I'm going, and that's final! I've made my decision.

Angel: Victor? Emily? Victoria? Have you seen the ZIO Princess Daisy and ZIO Luigi anywhere?

Emily: We've looked everywhere. We have yet to find any trace of them or the actual Luigi.

Victor: Um, yes. And unfortunately, it's hard to find them in this great vast castle.

Victoria: The strange thing is...

She looked at a peculiar egg.

Victoria: Why would you or the Count ask for some of us to make these so-called Time Eggs?

Angel: Um, it's for a good reason. And well...after Romulus gave me one of the Digivices that was dropped with the robots...

She showed a familiarish Digivice to them.

Victor: Yes, we understand. And we all know the Count is trying to do what's best for us.

Emily: He's not just our master, but our friend, too.

Angel: Yes...but sometimes, I question things I just don't understand and...

Victoria: (smiles) It's okay. It's okay.

She patted her head, smiling at the three.

Angel: You three are one of the best clones we ever recreated.

Three: Thank you.

Mojo's Voice: Comrades!

They turned, looking at the hooded chimp as he spoke.

Angel: Uh, what's wrong Mojo Jojo?

The hood was removed, revealing a familiarish ape looking seriously.

Mojo: Listen to me and listen well. I may at least know where the Princess Daisy may have run off to, and thus I shall be off and not be detected and ensuring that I bring her back here for the process.

Victor: (concerned) Must you?

Mojo: Yeees! Why else are she and the pathetic green thing essential to our plans?

Emily: (annoyed) You're insensitive sometimes.

Mojo: (scoffs) If you will be excusing me, me and a few others are to pose as house servants with Miss Mimi.

He threw a smoke bomb, leaving the room.

Angel: I hate it when he does that, even if he DID survive in ZIO universe with Control Freak being the traitor to die in his stead.

She looked at one of the time eggs glowing before taking it and the Digivice.

Angel: Um, I'll be right back. I have one thing to take care of.

She headed off, looking seriously.

Angel: (to herself) May have to make that replica of that person now while it still glows or else she's permanently gone.

Emily: (shouting) Good luck, Fifilina.

----------------------------------------------------------------

(Chapter 2-1: Boggie to Merlee's)

At a strange boggish area, the door opened before the group arrived with Purvis dressed as he was from before his mutation.

Purvis: I can't believe this. I never though I wear this old getup again.

ZIO James: You're lucky that your clothes still fit you despite you demutation, Zeta.

ZIO Jessie; Especially since you lost some muscle mass during the demutation.

Zeta: (annoyed) Are you saying I'm fat?

Both: (yelps) No, uh, no. We're not saying that.

ZIO Ghastly: Anyway, with so many changes, like the kids aged a bit due to their eternal youth and Merlumina's gift, I wonder what else we'll see?

Tippi: The Pure Heart is somewhere up ahead... Yes, it must be... But it could be a ways...

Homestar: Well, let's go then.

The group headed off, hitting and knocking away a few sunglasses Koopas.

Sailor Star Rocker: Hah! Stupid turtles. Uh, I meant the truly evil ones.

Sailor Star Water: (dryly) Nice save.

Bugs: Come on, doc. It's a long way ahead.

Miss Sunshine: Oooh, I really like where this is going.

Marzipan: Anyway, where's that baby Ghastly was suppose to look after? Did she get dragged too?

Strong Sad: Uh, I wouldn't exactly call the infant a "she".

Cartman: Augh, don't tell me: It's a girl with a wanger, ain't it?

Strong Sad: What? No, what makes you think that?

Strong Bad: Uh, hate to interrupt, but there's some crappy bog and stuff over there we gotta go through.

Swiftly and quickly, they went through the area, defeating the enemies while Peach entered a pipe. When she came back, she arrived with a key.

Peach: Here, I have this key.

She tossed it to Swiper, whom used the key on the door. A bit later, the group arrived to where a man in prison clothing frowned.

Prisoner: There are two things I hate...Old dudes with mustaches-

Psycho: Ha! That serves ya right out, Fat Cat Man!

Max Sr.: (annoyed) Knock that off!

Prisoner: -and old dudes without mustaches.

Mr. Grumpy: I'm not old!

Mr. Fussy: Well I never! Some of us aren't even old, you know!

Prisoner: I don't care! So take a hike, old dudes! Go up the road to Merlee's Mansion, will ya?

Dawn: (shoves him) Hey, how dare you say that to our male friends, even the children!

Just then, his eyes turned to hearts, holding her hand.

Dawn: Huh?

Prisoner: (grins) HOT GIRLS ALERT!

Peach: (frowns) Hey!

Sarah: Let Dawn go!

He only chuckled, shoving some of the males away, leering toward the females.

Psycho: Hey, back off our women, you-

Prisoner: (ignoring) We must've been fated to meet! Yes. You are my destiny! Please, go with me!

May: (giggles) Tee hee. What a silly man you are.

Peach: We're very sorry...but we must be somewhere.

Miss Sunshine: I'm with you.

Prisoner: (shocked) Where? Merlee's Mansion?

Homestar: (glares) Yes, hands off our women, bub.

Prisoner: This doesn't concern you. (to the females) I wouldn't go there if I were you. You'll get trapped there and bad things will happen!

Kikyo (Inuyasha): Trapped?

Kagome: Bad things?

Kari: What are you talking about?

Prisoner: (hopping) Ohmanohmanohmanohmanohmanohman...I don't even WANT to remember it! (grins) But now that you're with me, you don't have to worry about all that, babies. Because I am your fate...your DESTINY!

Ling Ling: I oughta-

Marzipan: You talk like that again and I'll use Carol on you!

Sailor Moon: Uh...thanks. If we don't come back, will you, perhaps, try to save us?

Peach: You know...(points to Mario) Like a certain mustached man used to do?

Prisoner: Uh, wha? You want me to-? Uh no-no, what do you mean? Just stay here and I'll ensure I take care of this destiny of yours.

When he rubbed Sango's rear, she screamed before she kicked him to the wall, making him groan.

Sango: That's for touching me like that!

Shippo: (sweatdrops) He's worse than you, Miroku.

Miroku: Hey!

Finally, they left the area. A bit later, after getting more Pal Pellets, then going through obstacles and enemies, getting to the next door, in the other room, Ash looked at one of the boxes.

Ash: Okay, I think another Mega Star is in there.

Link: Looks like we can use it to deal with the enemies at the other side.

The box was hit, revealing the Mega Star.

Kirby: (grins) Poyo!

Meta Knight: Kirby, what are you-?

The pink puffball used his air sucking power, absorbing the Star. Then, everything flashed before 8-Bit Kirbys appeared, then a giant 8-Bit Kirby formed.

All: (shocked) Whoa!

Meta Knight: Apparently, with us Videoland characters, it transforms one into an incarnation of the 8-Bit era.

Brock: That would explain a lot.

Mega Kirby: POYO!!

The giant puff ball dashed through, destroying areas while knocking away many enemies. Finally, when they were all gone, Kirby grinned.

Kirby: Poyo!!

Dedede: (scoffs) I could've done better.

Later, continuing through the area, then entering the pipe, the group looked at the area.

Jack: What the-? This place is empty!

Tippi: This room... There's something about this room...

The two used the ability/aura power, making a switch briefly appear.

Piplup: (points to itself) Pip piplup!

The Pokemon jumped on it, making a pipe apepar.

Thoreau: Sweet move!

Piplup: Lup!

They entered the pipe, heading down. There, they saw some enemies replicating itself.

Ash: What's that?

Tippi: That troublesome creature is a Growmeba. It can clone itself over and over again.

All: (shocked) What?!

Sam: Let's kill it!

Lucario: Wait, if we defeat the main one, the clones will die.

Tippi: He's right. The primary one has slightly different moves and looks, so watch closely.

Ash: You know what to do?

Thoreau: Yeah, was born ready!

He used his grabbign power, sending the original tot he clones, with the clones destroyed. At that moment, a chest appeared.

ZIO Conker: What's this?

The chest opened up before something inside shouted.

Voice: SSS-BOOOOM!

All: WHOA!!

Then, out came a Pixl shaped like a bomb with wings.

All: (surprised) A Bo-bomb Pixl?

Pixl: Good vibes! Them vibes set off my blow-stuff-up sensors! You like explodin'? Sss-POW! I ain't sensed real good blow-stuff-up vibes in...1,500 years! Sss-POOOM! I gotta check those vibes out a little more close-like! Sss-CRAAAACK!

It flew to them.

Pixl: Check it out: just answer a couple questions real quick. Sss-BLAAAAM!

Some: (points to themselves) Us?

Pixl: OK, sss-BOOOOM? Here we go, sss-BWAMMO! You stay up wonderin' if anyone ever gives presents TO Santa Claus.

Mr. Happy: Yes!

Miss Sunshine: Totally!

Pixl: For some reason, you clean your room before a test.

Sora: Absolutely!

ZIO Sora: Uh-huh!

Pixl: When someone says, "Let's just be friends," you think, "Yeah, whatever."

Jack: And how!

ZIO Jack: No doubt!

Pixl: You don't really understand why I'm askin' you all these weird questions.

Some: You got it!

Freelancers: Truer than true!

Pixl: You think shoppin' online is a wonderful and magical experience.

Girls: All my life!

Kids: Right on!

Pixl: You once put on a shirt inside out but didn't bother reversin' it before goin' out.

ZIO Conker: Yeah, I remember that.

Control Freak: All the time!

Weasels: (annoyed) That figures.

Pixl: You wanna be sleepin' when you're awake, but when you're tired, you wanna wake up.

Men: Exactly!

Homestar: Always!

Pixl: You're gettin' real tired of these questions.

Drakken: You said it, not me.

Shego: (sweatdrops) Umm...yeah.

Pixl: Got it, got it, GOT IT! SSSS-BOOOOOOOOOOOOM! You got some tasty vibes! Ssss-BLAM! My mind's made up now! Ssss-BLAPPOW! You guys...are worthy of my power!

Dawn: Who are you?

Pixl: Just call me Boomer!

Boomer: Hey, that's my name!

Boomer Walrus: Same here!

Boomer (Pixl): Cool! What a coincidence!

He then flew around the group.

Strong Bad: (reads script) "The explosive Pixl named Boomer became your friend! Use Boomer's power to blow up foes and destroy blocks! When you want to switch Pixls, just go to the Pixls menu and pick another one." Yeah, we already plan not to do the switching and get him out.

Thoreau: Coolie.

Boomer: Each second explodes into the next! Ssss-BAMMO! Bombs away! Ssss-BOOOOM!

May: Let's try that crack.

Max (Pokemon): On it.

Boomer the Pixl was placed down before the wall blew up. He entered the area, then came out with a card.

Max (Pokemon): Hey, I got a a Watchitt card!

Ash: We better head off.

Homestar: (to the camera) It's gonna take a while. Let's go to the next scene quickly.

It then showed a Dutch village with windmills.

Strong Bad's Voice: No, you idiot! He meant the other next scene! Are we working alone here?!

Tippi: That was awfully rumbly... Something must have happened outside...

Finally, they came to where the exit was.

ZIO Misty: Just be glad we found that Shlurd card and Swooper Cards while we were taking the whole thing.

ZIO Maximus: Just hit the star box so we gan get to the next area already!

ZIO Nemesis: Least there's no Romulus in our universe...(ponders) or is there?

Mary Cat: Best not to think about it.

The box was hit before everything flashed.

Narrator: End of Chapter!

With that, the screen went black.

Narrator: On the far side of a beast-ridden swamp, Mario and Co. found an imposing residence. "This must be Merlee's Mansion!" squealed Princess Peach with glee. If our friends could only find the Pure Heart quickly, their quest here would end. But when has fate ever set the KNS on such a simple path? Brimming with anticipation, our plucky heroes plunged into Merlee's Mansion...

(Chapter 2-2: Tricks, Treats, Traps)

The group finds themselves outside a mansion.

Fiona: So this is Merlee's place, eh? Not impressed.

Sally: We aren't surprised.

Mario: This is like Luigi's Mansion, minus the ghosts...and me being kidnapped.

Max: Or the cheesy plot!

Sailor Moon: Come on.

The group went 3-D to enter a hedge where they got some coins before leaving. Then they went pass the mansion before Tails makes a block appears, causing vines to come out.

Tails: Wow!

Miles: (dryly) I can see that, dork. I am not an idiot!

The groups climb up the thing up to two blocks overhead. Peach and the others flew/float over to the roof where ZIO Sailor Mars opens a chest, getting out a watch.

Alice: Goodness! You got a Stop Watch, a wacky watch that stops enemies in their tracks.

Cream: Like the one in Wonderland. Neat.

ZIO Kimi: (notices) Hey, I see a chest below.

The group goes 3-D, sending them off the roof and to the ledge where the chest is at. Kimi opens the chest, getting a card.

Fifi: Vous got a Cursya card!

Loud: So far, our collection is expending.

Bloo: Can we go inside now? I'm bored and I want to meet this Merlee lady.

Mac: Yeah, I suppose we can.

After jumping off the ledge, Mario and the others enter the mansion. Upon entering, the group saw some weird looking guard dogs.

Strong Sad: Oh dear! What are those things?

Tippi: Hmmm...This is one of Merlee's pets, a Gnip... They're just getting you out of harm's way when they kick you out of the mansion... They look scary, but they're actually quite nice...

Tommy: Ah.

ZIO Gaz: That's stupid. Why would they want us to kick out to save us? We came here to see Merlee!

Tippi: I am not sure...

The group dodges the Gnips and heads forward, finding some weird blue orb nearby.

ZIO Namine: I got a bad feeling about this.

Namine: Me too.

Lucario uses his aura then opens his eyes.

Lucario: I've got a really ominous feeling about this...We need to find Merlee, fast...

Mario: The crystal ball?

Tippi: That's a crystal ball...There doesn't appear to be anything odd about it...

Shirly: Shows what you know.

The group enters a room where they "saved their game". They move forward and saw a weird lady and some servants, including a familiar one.

Lady: (curties) Well, hi there! Big welcome! Welcome to Merlee's Mansion!

Mojo: Uh, yes, welcome to the mansion which is Merlee and which isn't ours.

Buttercup: (pause) Man, you are lame, remind me of someone we know that is dead.

Lucky Bob: Absolutely.

Mario: Who are you folks?

Lady: I'm Lady Merlee's handmaid. My name's Mimi! But you can call me Mimikins if you want!

ZIO Carl: Good, we don't want to.

Carl: Yeah!

Sonic: (glaring) Do I know you from somewhere?

Skunk like servant: Sorry, mate. Haven't seen you before.

Antoine: (frowns) Hmmm....

Mimi: You're here to see Lady Merlee, aren't you?

Mario: Yep!

Mimi Tachikawa: So mind telling us where she's at...

Mimi: How super for you! (points) Well, Lady Merlee is on the second floor, in the farthest room. Just head on up there whenever you're ready!

Nack looks a bit disturbed as two of the weasel servants looks familiar.

Nic: Nack?

Nack: Nic, those servants...they look like...

Mimi: Oh, golly, but listen...(anger mark) DON'T YOU DARE GO INTO ANY OTHER ROOMS BY ACCIDENT, OR ELSE! (normal) Enjoy your visit, OK?

Sir Hiss: (sweatdrop) Ooooooookay. (to Kaa) Someone is being a brat.

Kaa: Don't I know it.

The group heads upstairs as the weasels looks concerned.

Female Weasel: Honey, Nack and Nic...did they...

Male Weasel: (sighs) Yeah, we were reincarnated in that world, only for our son in the ZIO to be gone. Why on Earth does Count Bleck want them stopped?

The group enters the first room.

Mario: Let's see what's in here for before we go to the last one.

Darry: (notices) Look! A mushroom!

Kaylee: (realizes) Darry, wait!

Too late as Darry grabs the mushroom, then he and the others yelps as they felt into a trapdoor that opens, sending them into an underground room below.

Mario: Ouch! What the...?!

Lucario: Apparently, we must've fallen into a trap.

ZIO Darry: (glares) Nice going, me!

Darry: Hey, how the hell was I supposed to know?

Ayeka notices a caterpillar like enemy nearby, making her shriek.

Ayeka: Eeeeew! What is that thing?

Lucario: That bizarre creature is a Shlurp. It has tough skin and an appetite for everything... Max HP is ??, attack is 2, and Defense is ??. No attack will work... But Shlurps are just as fragile inside as they are tough on the outside... Maybe you should try feeding it something that would give it indigestion...

Mario: Like a bomb!

Boomer drops a bomb into the Shlurp, causing it to blow up. A pipe appears nearby.

ZIO Ayeka: How fortunate.

The group goes through the pipe and back into the previous trap room.

Danny: Well, let's move on. (glares to Danny) And let's try not to grab for any mushrooms next time!

Darry chuckles sheepishly as the group leaves the room, going into the second one, spotting coins on the floor.

Fievel: Coins!

Toadsworth: This could be another trap. Let's try to be careful this time!

Psycho: Then let's set this trap off!

The greedy ones grabs the coins as the others follow them.

Marzipan: Strong Bad!

Bugs: Daffy, wait!

However, at some point, the group yelps as they fell through another trap door into another underground chamber.

Pikachu: Pikachu.

Ash: (groans) Guys.

Daffy: So we're greedy. Big deal.

Yoshi: (notices) Yoshi!

The group saw two familiar bat creatures flying at them.

Toad: That's a Swooper. I bet they call it that 'cause of the way it swoops around. Wow! That's some AMAZING naming work. Seriously! It's pure naming genius!!! So, anyway... Says here it hangs from the ceiling. If you can just damage it, it oughta drop off the ceiling. And then you can whack it!

Yoshi eats the Swoopers, getting rid of them. Bowser Jr. tries to hit a red switch but nothing happens.

Bowser Jr.: (frowns) Any reason why this switch won't work?

Mario: Let's try a bomb.

The Boomer Pixl set off a bomb which explodes and activates the switch, making another piper appear. The group goes into it, returning to the second trap door.

Chad Dickinson: Oooookay. No more grabbing mushrooms or coins.

Some: Yeah.

Angelilo: If I didn't know any better, I say those servants are leading us to a trap!

ZIO Rouge: That could explain a lot. I think they're up to something...

The group leaves the second room and goes into the room Mimi told them to go into.

Haku: (notices) Hmmm, no Merlee.

Pinky saw a button and smiles.

Pinky: Narf! What does this button do?

Brain: (alarmed) Pinky, no! Don't push it!

Pinky: I gotta! It's a bad habit!

Benson in annoyance pushes the button.

Benson: There! That will save you slackers the...

Suddenly the bars appears over the windows as the ceiling has spikes appearing in it.

Group: Gah!

Benson: (frowns) Don't say a word.

Mr. Nervous: RUN!

Scooby-Doo: Yikes!

Yaten: But I don't think we will escape the spike ceiling in time!

Seiya: Everyone, go 3-D!

Everyone goes 3-D as they move aside to dodge the spiked ceiling that lowers down on them, jumping onto it.

Roxas: (sigh) That was a close one.

Frankie: I don't understand. Why would Mimi and her pals lead us in here?

ZIO Frankie: Maybe they didn't know about the trap.

ZIO Riku: Why I betcha one of Count Bleck plants this in here just to trap us.

Momoko: (frowns) I don't know. I don't trust those people.

Miyako: (notices) Look! Another area near the real ceiling!

The group rode the spiked ceiling upward until it stops. After hitting a coin block, they jump/go 3-D/destroy blocks with bombs to reach a chest and open it.

Pan: (takes out a key) Hey, a key! I wonder what it's to.

Dawn: Anywhere but here.

ZIO Sailor Solaris: Come on, let's leave this trap.

The group leaves the room and returns to Mimi's group.

Mojo: (shocked) What?! You're alive?!

Kaoru: (glares) What do you mean by that?

Skunk like servant: (sweatdrop) Nothing! What he meant was did you find Lady Merlee?

Zelda: Unfortunately, no. She wasn't in the room.

Mimi: (pretend surprise) Hm? Lady Merlee wasn't in the room I directed you to?

Mario: (nods) Nope.

Mimi: (to herself) Oh, jeepers... Mimikins, you deserve a good spanking! Why must you be so silly?!

Sora Takenouchi: Another thing, why do you got traps on the upper floor?

Girl: What? You aren't supposed to go in them! They are made to keep out greedy thieves!

Sir Emblem: Then why the spiked ceiling?

Man with pink hair: Oh...I'm sure we forgot to deactivate it.

Sailor Terra: (concerned) Do I know you two?

Girl: Afraid not.

Sailor Vegeta: You look like two people...we lost long ago...it's like we got...

Mojo: (annoyed) Look! Can't we get to the fortune teller that you be wanting to be seeing?!

Skun'kape: Fine, whatever! Geez. You're more stupid as Mojo.

Mojo: (anger mark) Grrrr!

Mimi: Lady Merlee must be in the CLOSEST room on the first floor! Yes, of COURSE! Please head in and go alllll the way to the back!

Peach: (suspiciously) Yeas, of course.

The group heads into that room, only to find a mushroom attached to a string.

Drakken: (annoyed) How stupid do those fools think we are! That is obvious a mushroom tied to a string!

Shego: Those people keep leading us into traps!

Sailor Terra: Yep, two of those people reminds us of mom and dad...

Boomer: Can't be. They're dead.

ZIO Ghastly: Well...there has been reports of reincarnations in our world in the past...and since we did made it here...

Nic: Is it possible that our parents and Fuzzy's were reincarnated and brought here?

Sleet: Probably.

Mario: Well, we better set off this trap. Otherwise those servants will be suspicious.

Peach: Unfortunately.

The group goes after the mushroom, falling into yet another trap door, landing in an underground chamber.

Donald: (annoyed) How the quack did I know that this was going to happen?!

The group saw Boos nearby, making the cowardly ones scream.

Cowardly Ones: AAAAAAAH!

Toadsworth: That bashful specter is a Boo. It's very fond of dark places... Max HP is 4 and Attack is 1. It will disappear if you stare at it too long... But it will reappear and chase after you the moment you turn your back on it... To outfox it, let it approach with your back turned, then attack or use an item...

June: Anyone up for some ghost bashing?

ZIO June: We sure are.

The halfas quickly fight off the Boos, getting rid of them. Mario then have Boomer plant a bomb to activate a red switch, revealing the pipe that the gang uses to return to the previous trap room.

Sailor Cluster Prime: Hmmm...

The robot Sailor Scout stretch her arm and made a blade cut the string before grabbing the mushroom.

X-5: That never happened in the actual ame.

Sailor Cluster Prime: Hey, never stop us.

Ness: Obviously those servants aren't real servants at all.

Lucas: They aren't?

Mario: Come on, they obviously didn't know of the traps.

Ness: Still, we got to on high alert.

The group leaves the room and returns to Mimi's group.

Mario: She isn't in that room either.

Mimi: (pretend surprise) You can't find Lady Merlee? Gee whiz, that's a real head-scratcher, huh? I KNOW Lady Merlee is somewhere in the mansion. Look wherever you can!

Mandy: (dryly) Yeah, we go do that. (to herself) You idiots ain't fooling anyone.

The group leaves Mimi's as they saw some sort of monster chained to a door nearby.

Peach: Perhaps we need to go through that last door, but that monster is in the way.

Mario: Here's an idea.

The group goes 3-D and dodges the monster as they go around it, unlocking the door with a chain attached to the lock, which unties the monster. The monster breaks loose.

Monster: GwwAARGH!

It heads towards Mimi's group.

Mojo: (shocked) What?!

Skunk like servant: (shocked) How the bloody hell did Gnaw get loose?!

Mimi: EEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

The group runs away.

Nic and Nack: Wait!

Psycho: Ha ha ha ha! Oh man, that was soooooo worth it!

Nack kicks Psycho into the air.

Psycho: WHEEEEEE!

Tippi: I wonder why that savage thing went straight for them and paid us no mind... I'd like to think we look rather tasty... What do you suppose it means?

ZIO Misty: Maybe they are more tasty.

Mandy: Or less trustworthy. At least those backstabbers are gone.

Sir Emblem: And yet...some of them look familiar to us...

Tippi: (pause) This mansion is quite odd... I feel certain it holds many secrets...

Shirly: And many more dangers.

The groups enters the door, finding the next star block which they hit. They all were teleported, ending this chapter.

Narrator: End of Chapter!

The area was saved afterward. As the group moves on, no one notices a shadowy figure following them.

Narrator: Mario and his friends kept up their search, delving ever deeper into the mansion. Wherever they looked, though, they found no sign of Merlee. Where was this mysterious woman? "Ah, maybe...this way..." So said Tippi, trying to sense the Pure Heart's location... With dread dangling like a broken chandelier, our heroes hurried through corridors...

(Chapter 2-3: Breaking the Bank)

We see the group further into the mansion, Snake looks concerned.

Snake: Hmmm....

Vultureman: Caw, what's on your mind, Sanford?

Snake: I don't know why...but I have a feeling that ssssomeone hasss been following us.

Mr. Stubborns: That is paranoid!

As Mario heads forward, he finds a coin block with a vase perched on top of it.

Mario: Look, a coin block.

Mr. Fussy: (gasps) Don't jump on it! We could end up breaking that valuable vase!

Cho-Cho: Right, you know the saying: you break it, you buy it.

Lucky Bob: Yes now!

Koreena: (annoyed) Ugh! This is pointless. I mean, so far, we couldn't find any traces of this Merlee bitch anywhere! Is she even at home?

Angelica: Oh come on, she got to be, otherwise that Merlon guy wouldn't send us here.

Stitch: Ih! Now stop complaining.

Koreena: Bite me.

Stitch suddenly bit Koreena in the arm, causing her to scream in pain.

Koreena: MEEEEEEEEOW! (glares) Why you!

Koreena tackles Stitch as the two fight one another, going unknowingly near the coin block with the vase on it.

Yuna: (gasps) Daddy, Koreena! Nooooo!

Too late as the fight ends up getting a coin out of the block, breaking the vase in the process.

Stitch and Koreena: (notices) Huh?

Mimi's Voice: NYAAAH!

A familiar girl runs up to Mario's group.

Mimi: You broke it! You broke my most favoritest vase!

Mario: It wasn't-a me! It was Stitch and Koreena!

ZIO Betty: Right, so blame them!

Mimi: I don't care! You didn't stop them so you're all to blame! (anger mark) DOOFUSES! I loved that vase more than ANYTHING! And you BROKE it! NYAAAAAARGH!

Numbuh 2: (frowns) Nice going.

Stitch: Whaaaat? Koreena said bite me so I took her literally.

Koreena: (anger mark) Not in that way, dumb ass!

Nemo: Sorry about that, Mimikins...

Mimi: (anger mark) Don't call me Mimikins! You don't deserve to call me that after what happened!

Mr. Happy: Oh. Well, we can pay for the damages if you like.

Mimi: Oh, you'll pay for that! Yes, you will... I'll have you know that that vase cost 1,000,000 Rubees...

Most: (shocked) What?!

ZIO Ken: (stunned) You're kidding!

Mimi: So hand over that money! Now! Or you're DONE FOR!

Mario shakes his head in fear.

Dora: Rubees? We don't got any rubees, senorita!

Tippi: Rubees? Oh, I don't believe Mario carries any of that particular currency... I don't suppose those are anything like coins, are they?

Mimi: (scoffs) Coins?! No one uses COINS anymore, you peasants! I SPIT on your coins!

Link: Well, I got Rubees if you like.

Mimi: I DON'T TAKE HYLIAN RUBEES!!!

Zelda: Hey, how did you know that some of us are from Hyrule?

Mimi: LUCKY GUESS...So what are you saying? Are you telling me you don't have any Rubees at all?!

Mario: (nods) Well, pretty much.

Mimi: Well, guess what? You're just gonna have to work it off, then! Until you work off your debt, you naughty little things, I OWN YOU! ENJOY LABOR! And to make sure that none of you try to escape your debt...

Mimi suddenly breaths in and out, making the heroes yelps as their digivices, transformation items, weapons like Grim's scythe, Amy Rose's hammer, etc. and ways of escape are suddenly sucked towards the villainess, being stripped of them.

Most: Hey!

Mimi: This will guarantee that you will stay put until you all pay up! When you pay off your debt, you can have them back! And don't bother trying to teleport out for you teleport users! This mansion is teleport-proof!!!!

She goes to walk off.

Mimi: (smirks) Yes, so, you can earn Rubees in the generator room on the top floor. Once you earn 1,000,000 Rubees, you come pay it off in the room at the back.You can also check the balance of your debt there. (anger mark)So! Get to work, servants!

Mimi runs off.

Stan: Dudes! We are now saddled with a 1,000,000-Rubee debt! WHOA!

Mewtwo: (cringes) Damn it, she's right. I can't teleport out of this place! Something is blocking my teleporting powers.

Goku: And our Instant Transmission.

Grim: And without me scythe, I can't make a portal out of here.

ZIO Mandy: Like that would help. This place is teleport proof!

Voice: So you're all stuck here too, huh?

The group saw a familiar wolf, girl and squirrel nearby.

Most: Red, Wolf, Twitchy!

Red: Hey guys.

Kairi: What are you three doing here?

Twitchy: (frantically) We're trapped, we're trapped, we're trapped!!!!

Wolf: Relax, Twitchy. Nicky Flippers send us here to get Merlee's help. Boingo the Bunny has escaped the asylum recently.

Max: (annoyed) What, again?

Wolf: What do you mean, "again"? This is the first time it happens!

Max: Sorry, bad habit.

Red: But when we came here, Twitchy spill coffee all over that stupid monkey's rug and now we have to end up working for it!

Twitchy: My bad!

Kermit: Hmmm, apparently everyone ends up being forced as slaves for some ridiculous price or another.

Fozzie: Just like Bosco!

Sakura: Koreena, you idiot!

Koreena: What? Oh come on, that stupid alien bit me first!

Stitch: Hey, you said "bite me" so therego, this is your fault!

Koreena: (anger mark) It was an accident, okay?!

Betty: Guys, let's not fight! We got to find a way to pay off this stupid debt that Mimi forces onto us.

Red: How? We and the others were here for sometime now and even we can't pay that load off. Even when we got close, our money ends up disappearing.

Voice: I think it's because Mimi and her pals were robbing from us.

ZIO Sarah: Huh? That sound familiar.

The group saw what appears to be another lookalike of the Sarahs, only more different looking.

Gothika: What the...?!

Twitchy: We found her when we first came here. The girl was trapped here for three weeks!

Girl weasel: So it's Sarah, Gothika and another Sarah...I knew this day would come...

Sarah: (shocked) Wait, who are you?

Girl weasel: My name is Lula...I am your Heartless.

Karnage: My, the female weasel looks so much like you, Sarah. (smirks) And better looking as well.

Psycho: Typical, Wolf Man.

Lula: Anyway, um, yeah...sorry to hear you're stuck working that debt forever.

Karnage: And what are you suppose to be doing?

Red: (frowns) Good question.

Lula: Um, Mimi and the others told me to make sure you all did your job.

All: (shocked) What?!

Sora: Man, this means we're stuck with this debt forever. We're gonna have to keep working for the rest of our immortal lives just to get off that debt.

ZIO Sora: If we live that long.

Max: Yeeeeeaaah, I don't think so.

Psycho: Yeah, I prefer stealing stuff myself.

Sam: Think we should steal while she doesn't suspect anything?

Nack: Can't think of a reason not to.

He took out some thieving tools from Psycho's jacket.

Nack: 'Sides, she never bothered to check Psy's stuff.

Swiper: Plus I can swipe from Mimi anyways. This time I can hide things better which will get her too distracted.

Lula: No, no. If you do that, I'll be punished! Plus where the heck did you keep that stuff.

Psycho: That's none of your damn business.

Sarah: Psycho!

ZIO Sarah: You know that she's our Heartless. You never badmouth either of us before!

Psycho: Ooops! Sorry! I forgot whom I was talking to.

Dawn: (frowns) Wait a second, I bet you and Mimi and all the others with you that set the traps and ridiculous debts work for Count Bleck!

Speedy: Si, he's a mean looking compadre!

Lula: You don't know our master.

Some: (shocked) Master?

Homestar: Wait, like you're his slaves?

Lula: Actually, more like comrades, allies, and um...friends.

Karnage: I do not believing this! YOU are telling us that this Bleck is a so-called "friend"?

Lula: Well-

Piplup: (frowns) Pip piplup!

Lula: Look, just follow me to where you'll be working, okay?

As the others were forced to be lead away, the Freelancers remained behind.

Dingo: Uh, what's wrong, Nack?

Nack: Something about those fellows in cloaks...

Nic: Who were they? And how the heck do we get out of here?

Voice: Psst.

They peeked in a room, looking inside it.

Prisoner: Hey, new gerbils.

Sleet: (annoyed) Who are you calling gerbils? I happen to be a wolf!

Prisoner: Whatever. You wanna learn a little secret? Yeah, I betcha you do... Just slip me 100 Rubees. I'll tell ya somethin' good.

They glared at the figure.

Prisoner: Honest. It's prime info.

Max: Uh, hang on a sec.

He then snatched 100 Rubees from a different prisoner.

Other Prisoner: Hey!

Max: Look, we need this more than you, buck-o!

He gave the first one the rubees while the other frowned.

Other Prisoner: I needed to pay off the debt!

Prisoner: He-he-he. Your mom taught you to trust strangers, huh? Yeah, solid parenting, right there.

Sam: Oh we use to trust strangers, but that's 'cause they bribed us with holding their guns, which was a lie.

Numbah 2: Which of course was our past selves.

Prisoner: Well, turns out she was a smart cookie. I'm gonna give you the VIP room passcode. The secret code is...5963! What good is it? That's a secret! Duh! Just remember 5963, gerbil. Thank me later.

Dingo: Uh, what's the number again?

Nic: (grabs him) Come on, doofus!

He yelped, being dragged while out came the others in one of the rooms.

ZIO Sora Takenouchi: (glares) That was the worst thing I've ever been through.

Kaylee: Tell me about it.

Lula: But you have to make sure you have to pay the debt and-

Just then, she noticed a paper given to the group.

Lula: What's that?

Twitchy: None of your business, trapped girl!

Lula: For the hundreth time, I'm not trapped here, I'm working with Mimi and Bleck.

Strong Bad: Yeah, likely story!

They looked at the paper marked "Code is 5963 for VIP" before looking annoyed.

Strong Bad: What the crap's a VIP room?

Lula: Um, that's where you get more rubees and it's easier for you to-

Homestar: Sweet! (shouts) Hey, everybody! The code here is 5963!

Prisoner: (peeking) Dammit, I told you it was a secret!

Strong Bad: (shouts) No more it ain't! See ya shocked losers!

The numbers were pressed before the door opened up.

Lula: Hey, wait-

It was too late as the door with the group inside closed.

Lula: Oooh, Mimi's gonna kill me.

Karnage: Well, to be precise, she was probably be asking for it.

Numbah 5: Now what do we do?

Galaxia's Voice: Get the chest that's in this room...then you will know what to do.

Psycho: You again!? Come on out and show yourself!

Galaxia's Voice: I have heard their plans and want to rule the universes without interference...however, I do not want to ruin the fun by killing him immediately, so I'm leaving it to you.

Numabh 2: Wait!

However, the voice of Galaxia's faded after her laughter was heard.

Sarah: She's really getting annoying sometimes, isn't she?

Sam: And what chest?

The group went to 3D mode with Lula hanging on to the wolf pirate, noticing a chest.

Sleet: There's the chest!

Dingo: Oh, open it! Open it! Maybe there's candy!

The box opened before a voice spoke.

Voice: (quietly) Know the secret?

All: Huh?

They looked as out came a strange triangular pixl.

Pixl: 'CUZ I DOOOO!

Nic: Oh great, another one of you!

Pixl: So, do ya know the secret, pard? Well? Do ya? Iffen you close yer peepers...and imagine real hard...that the world's gone...Why, it's just about the biggest dern thrill ever!

Dingo: Wha?

Pixl: WHUH-HUH?! My senses are tellin' me that you're the hero! Whoa...Hey, welcome, pard. Got some bad news, though. Looks to me like yer a bit lackin' in thrills.

Sleet: (glares) What do you mean?

Pixl: I can't give my power to anyone who's too skinny in the thrills department. So here's what we do, pard! I'll recharge yer thrill gauge over the next ten seconds!

Lula: Now wait a minute-

Pixl: You ready? Here goes! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

As he continued, the others fell asleep.

Pixl: THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR! SEVENTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN! THREE-POINT-ONE-FOOOUR! ONE MARZIIIIIIIIIIIILION! TENNNNN!

They yelped, awakening.

Pixl: Now yer all chargified, pard! Yepper, now you've got yer thrills! Now remember, we Pixls got loads of power, so you'd best be real careful with us! We had a little dustup with them Ancients 2,000 years ago...but we're pards now. So let's go have us some thrills, huh?! C'mon!

The group, minus a surprised Lula, felt the power of the being before they gasped.

Sam: (reads the script) "The sideways-turning Pixl named Slim is now your pard! You can use Slim's power to turn sideways and avoid traps or enemies! And when you're sideways, you won't take damage...as long as you stay still!"

Max: Oh boy! Now we can invade Iran and take down the nukes!

Sam: Right, but AFTER we take care of the so-called curse.

Lula: No, please!

Karnage: If you are to be worrying so much, then tell the Mimi-type person and comrades yourself!

She looked worried before leaving the area. As that happened, Max noticed a toy which looked similar to X-Ray glasses.

Max: Hey, look at this. Another psychic toy! She must've missed one.

He, Psycho, and Stitch rose up with them twitching with thunder roaring.

Dingo: (grins) Wow, does this mean you can see anything?

Max: Maybe, but for dignity sake and script purpose, let's not.

Psycho: Hang on a sec while I use this baby.

He used it on a wall with two prisoners talking.

Prisoner 1: Fine timing, friend of mine! I just got hold of some verrry delectable info! You're timely, so it's yours! I was gonna charge 10,001 Rubees, but for you...10,000! Sound good?

Prisoner 2: Sure.

He gave his Rubees to him.

Prisoner 1: Thanks, buddy of mine! Listen, and listen good. Mimi was napping, OK? And I heard her start sleeptalking...And she whispered...41262816...Think it's her boyfriend's phone number or something?

Nack: Good going, Psy. Now we got the stuff and know-how in how to get in that vault and break out the cash.

Psycho: And maybe keep some for ourselves. They could be worth a fortune outside this mansion.

The Freelancers nodded, going up the ladder where some lasers were seen.

Max: This is gonna take some stealthfully and screaming manuevers to deal with this.

Stitch: Ih, especially the lasers.

With the others, Yolei glared as the exhausted woman glared to Mimi.

Yolei: What do you mean that wasn't 1,000,000!? We've walked and worked our butts off to get this stuff!

Mimi: (shrugs) Sorry, but you only got 11,000.

Mario: What?!

Peach: No, our debt payer said we got a million!

Mojo: Ha! Shows what you know!

Just then, a huge sack was placed down with Boomer and Thoreau noticing the new Pixl.

Pixl: Who's this guy?

Nic: Slim. We found him uh, while working smarter to get this stuff.

Sonic: What's in the sack?

Sam: Rubees.

Max: (quietly) We've got 1,000,000 of 'em.

Nic: Hey, lady! Jerk-offs, here's the loot!

Mimi: (grins) Super! Let me just take all those Rubees off your hands! There you go!

ZIO Yolei: In that case, let US take back OUR Rubees!

She snatched it back while the bag was paid up. When the counter went to zero, the others noticed.

Figures: Uh, Mimi?

Mimi: Well, thank you SO much for paying off your Rubee loan in...full...

She then noticed the number marked "0" on it.

Mimi: (shocked) WHAAAAT?! How did you earn enough Rubees to pay it off?! That's NOT supposed to happen! Nooo...(whining) You've broken my wonderful curse!

Max: Shows what you know! If you'd actually bothered checking me, Stitch, and Psycho, you'd know we'd ALWAYS have thief stuff where you can NEVER get to.

Stitch: Plus Stitch got extra arms.

Psycho: And where we keep 'em is none of your damn business.

Mojo: CURSES!!

The chimp slammed his fist, which showed his familiar head.

PPG Cast: (annoyed) It's Mojo Jojo.

Just then, in an instant, all the items instantly appeared in front of them.

All: WHOA!!

Dingo: See? Knew that would happen.

Sleet: You can't even focus on what's for dinner sometimes!

Dingo: That's not true, Sleet. Dooplis and Vivian would know.

Digit: (realizes) Hey, where did those two and Mario's other party members get to anyway? We haven't seen any of them in a while.

Tai: But how did our devices...?

The screaming Mimi floated up in the air.

Mimi: NYAAAAAAAH! I'LL GET YOU!

The light shone around as the group covered their eyes.

Mimi: Aaaaaaaa...

In an instant, she was blown into a million pieces.

Mojo: (annoyed) Oh great, NOW I have to repair her again.

Roll: What?! She's a robot or something?

Mojo: (glares) It's none of your business! Minions, let's leave!

Lula: But-

Mojo: That's an order!

Wolf: Hey, come back-

However, when he snapped his fingers, the cloaked ones with Mojo and Lula vanished just as Karnage almost grabbed them.

Karnage: Ungh! Curses!

Tippi: Wow...So, that young imp put a curse on this mansion, then...But who was she, really? I'm worried about Merlee...We must hurry to her aid...

Mario: We'll figure it out after we get to the box. Ready Slim?

Slim: Ready.

The group went 3D, then used Slim to go through the bars, then hit the box as everything flashed white.

Narrator: End of Chapter!

The area was saved afterward. As the group went through the mansion, the familiar foes watched while the shadowed Mimi began shape shifting.

Narrator: The mysterious handmaid Mimi and her comrades disappeared in a bizarre explosion...What exactly was their plan, and why did they try to enslave Mario and friends? After the incident, Princess Peach noticed stairs going down. "Here we go!" she said. "I wonder if Merlee is down here?" thought our heroes as they traded worried glances... The group solemnly made their way down, knowing there was no other path to follow.

To Be Continued...
