"I must apologise my Countess I was unable to take down those Heroes..." Peach said as she stood before the Countess Shay and Timpani. "I do hope you can forgive my failure..." Countess Shay looked at Peach who was slightly holding her arm and her hair looking much more messy and slightly limping in return she showed a kind smile.

"Worry not Peach I already forgive you. I should of expected the Heroes to be more formidable." The Countess said with the Dark Prognosticus floating by her side. "But are you alright my dear? I did not expect the Pure Heart to lie there of all places."

"I'll be fine..." Peach said her eyes darting to the side.

"The only good thing that came out of this was at least that Pure Heart has stop the shadows for a moment. At least I can be at peace. Even if it's only temporary." Peach said placing her hand on her forehead.

The Countess smiled. "Well I am happy for that at least. But once we reach the end. You'll be free from them forever."

Before Peach could respond the doors slam open. "Countess!" Bowser strained's voice yelled as he enter the room. "I heard Peach returned is she ok?!"

Peach sighed. "It's nothing to worry about Bowser. And stop yelling you're not doing your throat any favours." Peach scolded.

"Pfft! Whatever I don't care what happens to my throat if it means I can show my concern for you." Bowser said.

"Please...Could you be more careful with it. For me?" Peach asked.

Bowser crossed his arms. "Fine...But what about you? Those Heroes hurt you." Bowser let out a small growl.

"It was fine I would of had taken care of them if Toadsworth wasn't there to use the Pure Heart on me...

"Those Heroes...Countess I want to go after the Heroes and clobber them." Bowser requested.

"Bowser you know the Countess can't allow you to do that." Timpani said. "Not while you're still injured. You should be resting not getting into another fight."

Bowser grumbled crossing his arms. "Bu-"

"Bowser." The Countess said in a stern tone which stop Bowser from arguing further.

"Fine."

"While I admire your fighting spirit. You can't fight in such a condition and you would be easily defeated by the Heroes. We have time to take down these Heroes so you have time to recover alright?"

Bowser nodded. "And since you two are currently unavailable to be fighting right now I must call forth my other follower." The Countess cleared her throat before yelling. "Mario!"

In a blink of an eye Mario teleported before them. "You called?" He asked with a smug expression.

"Ahem. Mario it seems a lovely opportunity has arrived for you to dispatch these Heroes." Countess Shay said.

"Oh really now. I cannot pass this up now can I?" Mario smlied floating in the air.

"Ah yes it is. Now why don't you show off your skills to take down these Heroes. I am sure Timpani's teachings of magic have worked well."

"Oh of course they have. Timpani is such a darling to teach me." Timpani smiled a little. "It was nice teaching you."

Mario smiled at Timpani. "Well I shall make my leave now. Hehe I'll show them a real Hero." Mario said before he teleported away.
