Chapter 44

3rd Person POV
They all made it to Joke's End: a place where old and tired jokes, even jokes people find terrible, all end up here, left to fade from existence.

As soon as Mario and Luigi arrived, Eve and others arrived. As soon as the others got off her back, she then reverted back to her petite dragon form, tired. (Y/N) immediately caught her before she was able to hit the ground.

"Are you okay?" She asked, concerned.

"I'm okay, Mama. I just feel a little exhausted, that's all," Eve said.

Mario and Luigi then noticed (Y/N) and others.

"Huh? How did you get here?" Mario asked. (Y/N) then began to explain about Eve gaining a new power recently.

"Huh. Well, I'll admit that was really amazing, Eve," Mario said.

"Yeah. I didn't know you had it in you," Luigi said.

"Anyway, let's move. Bowletta and Fawful are waiting," Arle said.

As the gang went up the steps to the entrance, a blue fairy girl emerged from two of the statues.

"Hold it, you. This palace is our playground, understand? Do you want to play here, too? In that case, the least you could do is say hello to those of us who were here first," she said.

"Uh, who are you?" Ringo asked.

"Eh? Me? I'm Jojora. I'm a buddy of the cousin of the descendant of the spirit who once guarded this place," the fairy said.

"Look, Miss Jojora. We appreciate you inviting us to play here, but we don't have time for that right now," Amitie said.

"We need to get through here because Bowletta and Fawful kidnapped Princess Peach," Goh added.

"Princess Peach? Bowletta? Man, I have NO idea what you're talking about! Whatever. Look, if you want to go inside, then go right ahead. Be my guest. Go nuts. I don't know what kind of adventure you've been on to get here, but man…getting through here won't be nearly as easy as what you're used to! No way!" Jojora said before she floated to the entrance. Everyone else followed suit.

*timeskip*

"Woah. This place is huge," Ash said.

"Pika," Pikachu said.

"And really cold, too," Ringo said, shivering.

Mario then lit up his Firebrand, trying not to only share some warmth but also light up some torches.

As Jojora said, getting through the palace won't be easy, for they ran into enemies, including Glurps and Ice Snifits.

Then, the gang entered a large room with a large pot filled with soup. However, the stove wasn't on. Jojora then floated to a higher floor than the others. She then looked at them.

"I wonder if you can even make it over here…" She said in a condescending tone.

"Hm? The stove isn't on," Mario said.

"Okay. Something's clearly up. I just know it," Goh said.

"I wonder what happens if we heat up the stove," Mario said.

It took everyone longer than expected. They had to move upwards in order to open up the door that led to the furnace. Once that was taken care of, Mario used his Firebrand on the furnace, making the stove heat up and create an updraft full of wind.

"Okay. What now?" Amitie said.

Everyone then noticed a Beanish person trying to study the pot of soup, or perhaps, the gust of wind rising from it.
