Dimension Crisis (?!) (Video Game Crossover × Fem!Magical Girl!Reader)

Chapter 94

The gang began to walk deeper into the dark Forever Forest.

"This place is giving me the creeps..." (Y/N) said, holding onto Eve.

"No kidding. People say that if you don't choose exactly the right path, you'll get totally lost," Goombario said.

"Well... W-When you put it like that, this is basically the perfect place for monsters to jump out and hit us with a surprise attack..." Eve said, scared.

The heroes then continued their way down the paths. They only found one correct path due to the laughing flowers. Of course, due to (Y/N) running away. There, they found a strange fellow on a stump.

"Hmm... What do you think you're doing?" The figure said. "This is Forever Forest... The path ahead of here is extremely dangerous. Didn't you know that? You'd better go back."

Mario then began to explain the situation about the invite they received from a Boo.

"Um-kay. So, that's your story. You're invited to Boo's Mansion. You may pass then," the leafy figure said. "Listen carefully... If you want to get through the forest, you have to pay really close attention to your surroundings. If you choose the wrong paths, you'll end up back at the forest edge before you know it. The areas around the correct paths will always look slightly different from the others. Watch carefully for clues. "

"For example, in this area, take a good look at the inner trees as you walk around. In one of them, you'll spot strange, glowing eyes. The exit near that tree is the path you want to take. These clues will be different in other parts of the forest. Watch the inner forest very carefully as you go."

Taking the figure's advice, Mario and co began to navigate the forest with ease. Of course, they would be interrupted by getting attacked and jumpscared by Forest Fuzzies and Piranha Plants. Finally, after a while of walking, they reached the mansion.

Then, the butler Boo appeared before them. "Welcome sirs and madams! I'm pleased you made it through Forever Forest," he said. "My master awaits you in the room highest up in this lovely mansion. Please go to the third floor. There you will hear all the news of the Star Spirits... I'll see you there..." He then disappeared.

"Come on. It might be scary, but this invitation might be important," Mario said.

The gang immediately went inside the mansion and began to look for a way to the highest floor. However, getting there wasn't as easy as they hoped. Every room was filled to the brim with tricks that would keep them guessing if they wanted to proceed. Even spooky ones. After all, Boos love playing tricks.

Then, as soon as they reached the furthest room, a voice rang out. "Gwah hee haha! You've finally arrived! You took your sweet time, huh?" It said. "I was just testing you to see if you live up to your reputation. How were the tests? Tough?"

"W-Who's there?" Parakarry said.

Then, the butler Boo reappeared along with a pastel green female Boo wearing a pair of red bows.

"My name is Bow. I'm glad to finally meet you," the female Boo said.

"I'm Bootler, the butler. I'm Lady Bow's humble servant," the butler Boo said.

"The reason I asked you here is that I needed a favor," Bow said. "Bootler, give them the rundown."

"Of course, my lady," Bootler said. "Do you know the area near here called Gusty Gulch? A hill rises at the top of the gulch, and upon it sits the castle of Tubba Blubba."

"Tubba Blubba? Who's that?" Kooper asked.

"He's a monster... and he eats... us!!! Ghosts!!" Bootler said. "Boos are his favorite food. Many friends have been eaten! We've tried to attack the evil fiend to save our friends, but Tubba Blubba is far too strong for us Boos to slow him down even slightly. He seems invincible. That's why he's known as the invincible Tubba Blubba."
