Pure Hearts Be True

The Destruction of a World

"Look, Timpani. The stars are beautiful, aren't they?

"...there's a tradition in my village. We believe that wishes on stars come true."

"Oh? Is that so? In that case, we'd better get wishing, don't you think?"

"I don't need to wish anymore."

"Mmm?"

"I already got my wish. Now...I have everything I need right here."

"Timpani...aren't you cold?"

"Not at all. I'm very warm. Can we stay like this? Just a little longer?"

...

"Hey, hey! Best news from town! Malleo! He's back home!"

"...oh...really...?"

"Hmm? Something wrong?"

"...I can't stay, remember?"

"Oh...right..."

"I'm sorry but that was our agreement..."

"Please don't go... I'll never see you again..."

"You don't know that!"

"I do. You are probably gonna end up a big hero like Mario and then forget all about me..."

"I would never do that! Not to you! You are my best friend!"

...

"Tippi? Tippi!"

Tippi finally woke and saw that Violet was holding her in her hand, looking worried. Peach and Mario also looked worried and Bowser...well, he's evil so he didn't count.

She asked, "Wha...?"

Peach answered, "What's the matter, Tippi? You seemed a little out of there..."

Violet added, "Yeah, I had to put you in my hand, I was getting worried..."

Mario stated, "As was I."

Tippi looked confused as she questioned, "Well... Didn't you just hear something?"

Bowser answered, "No, not at all."

Tippi still looked confused and reasoned that it was possible that she remembered something. 'Question is, what was it,'  Tippi thought. That's when the ground shook and The Void grew bigger. Our heroes knew that they had to find another Heart Pillar and fast. Melon expressed his worry about the worlds that might've already decayed. Since the Light Prognosticus was written to counterattack the dark one, it was unclear how much time they had.

Violet confessed, "I'm still worried about Weegie..."

Mario stated, "Me too..."

Peach replied, "Hopefully he'll be okay..."

Bowser responded, coldly, "I'm sure Greenie will be okay."

Tippi added, "I'm sure your friend is okay."

Merlon commented, "As am I."

The purple ice wielder said nothing, just walked off in worry. Mario had to admit that he was worried too. The adventure was almost over and there was still no sign of Luigi. Peach was worried too but Bowser could care less. After getting what they needed for their next chapter and putting the Pure Heart in the Heart Pillar, they headed for the Samurai World. With the scripture from the Light Prognosticus in their minds, the four heroes headed out.
