BGM: Villains of a Sort (Kingdom Hearts)

"Oh, how I missed this!" Yukari cackled. "The power, the sheer power of it all!"

"We were the ones who had brought you back, Shadow Queen." Ansem told her.

"Is that right? Well, I thank you for bringing me back… what's your name again?"

"Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. This is Young Xehanort, Xehanort's younger self."

"Greetings."

"I'm sorry, what? Seeker of Darkness? That's the best you could come up with? Was that the first thing that popped into your head when you wanted to become a villain? Sounds completely dumb, if you ask me."

"Well, I-"

"Also, Young Xehanort? Really? Who comes up with these names anyway? Xehanort's kind of a stupid name too." Shadow Queen said. "What, did we go back in time or something?"

"It's complicated, but you see-"

"Of course it's complicated. You could make a whole game series about it and everyone would be getting splitting headaches over it trying to figure it out!" Yukari groaned. "Oi, I'm getting a headache just thinking about it." She then looked at herself. "Hmm, while I do look better than that dainty blonde airhead, there's something that bugs me about this body."

"What would that be?" Ansem asked.

"I have no idea, but it feels like I've possessed this body too many times already despite me possessing this body once." Yukari mused before shrugging it off. "Eh, probably just some major deja vu." She said and then walked off.

"Where are you going?" Young Xehanort asked.

"To do a couple of errands." Yukari said and walked off, the two of them looked at each other and shrugged before they followed the Shadow Queen, where they spotted a deceased dragon. "Oh, Gloomtail… what have they done to you?" Yukari whispered and then clapped her hands together, putting her hands on the corpse, silently chanting some words and then backed away. "Arise, Gloomtail!" She ordered as Gloomtail's body twitched, his skin returning to normal and then rolled his body over. He then let out a roar.

"Mistress? You look… different."

"I know, I look pretty hot, don't I?" Yukari chuckled. "Apparently, this body I'm possessing is some sort of Youkai with boundary properties and danmaku. I'm not sure what that means, but I'm willing to experiment." She said.

"Mistress, if you don't mind me asking, why are you wearing that dress? It doesn't look… good on you."

"Ugh, I know. I look pretty. I hate pretty." Yukari groaned. "I'll have to redo my look."

"Who are these two? They look appetizing."

"These two are Ansem, Seeker of Darkness and Young Xehanort. They brought me back to the past."

"So, you're their slave?"

"PFFFT! Hell no! I'm nobodies slave. These two are my slaves."

"WHAT?!" Both of them yelled.

"Actually, I can do without one of them. You can take care of the youngster. He looks more annoying than this bonehead right here."

"Bonehead?" Ansem asked in surprise as Young Xehanort looked up and saw Gloomtail towered over him, licking his chops while Young Xehanort backed away slowly with actual fear in his eyes. "Surely, you must be joking."

"Do I look like the joking type to you?" Yukari turned around. "There's something else that must be done." She said and then opened up a gap. "Oh, would you look at that." She mused and then walked in with Ansem following her while Young Xehanort ran inside before Gloomtail could make a meal out of him.

"Blast!"

BGM: Hall of the Thousand Year Door (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Yukari walked out of the gap. "I think I can get used to that." She said and then walked over to the pedestal, aiming her hand at it and then summoning the Crystal Stars from the pedestal. "My pride and joy… oh, how such a simple creation can turn against me." She frowned, remembering how the Crystal Stars were turned against her.

"What are the Crystal Stars doing?!" She could hear that blasted plumber's sidekicks asking what was going on.

"What… what are you-KYAAAAAAAAAAH!"

"So, what are you going to do with them? Destroy them?" Ansem asked.

"Tempting as it may be, I will not destroy my beautiful creations." She twirled her finger around the Crystal Stars, dulling their color. "There, now they're not so sparkly anymore."

"What did you do?" Young Xehanort asked.

"Simple. I got rid of that pesky ability where they'll harm me." Yukari answered. "And now that I'm back, that pesky good-for-nothing plumber will most likely get these in an instant and foil me once again. Grrr… no, I'm not going to sit back and let him take these." She crossed her arms in the shape of an X. "Crystal Stars… SCATTER!" She yelled, as the Crystal Stars shot up from under Rogueport and scattered to different unknown locations. "Good… now for more important things." She said and then made another gap and walked inside, this time appearing on the bottom floor of the Pit of 100 Trials.

"Oh honey… you let yourself go." Yukari aimed her hand at Bonetail. "Arise!" She ordered as Bonetail rolled himself over.

"AROOOOOOOOOOO!"

"I think it's time for a makeover, wouldn't you say… Poisontail?" Yukari asked, as dark green skin crept underneath his bones, dark purple wings flapped majestically once Bonetail, or in this case, Poisontail, was back to normal. His scales on his tail were black.

"AROOOOOOO-"

"You can stop arooing."

"Ahem, sorry… force of habit." Poisontail chuckled.

"So, you can poison your victims?" Ansem asked.

"I have many different poisons in my system. I can poison people to sleep, poison them to disorient them, poison their entire body until they're the size of a Goomba, and poison them until they're frozen solid!"

"That's my beautiful baby!" Yukari giggled.

Young Xehanort sweatdropped. "I don't think those would be considered poison."

"Would you like to find out for yourself? You can be my first victim!"

Young Xehanort paled. "I'll pass."

"Now, one more dragon to revive." She chuckled and walked in a gap with the two following her, until they were at Hooktail Castle. "Hooktail… ARISE!" She yelled as Hooktail rolled over and roared loudly.

"Who dares to revive-… master!"

"Hello, my beautiful dragon girl." Yukari smiled.

Young Xehanort looked at Ansem. "That's a girl?!" He mouthed.

Ansem let out a surprised shrug. "How was I supposed to know?"

"Master, you look different."

"I know, I know." Yukari chuckled and opened up two large gaps as Gloomtail and Poisontail walked out of the gaps. "Listen well, you three. I have come back from the dead and jumped through time… I do not understand that second part, so don't question it. Anyway, I am going to make a comeback and you three are to raise hell around the world. Guard the Crystal Stars if you so desire." She ordered as the dragon's nodded. "Oh, and Hooktail."

"Yes, master?"

Yukari aimed her hand at her, as Hooktail felt a major boost of stamina. "I increased your health by a lot, not to mention I got rid of your cricket weakness."

"Ooogh…"

Yukari sweatdropped. "Still makes you queasy just thinking about it?"

"Yes…"

"Well, don't think about it. It'll help you focus."

"Understood."

"Fly, my pets! Raise hell and show the world that I have returned!" Yukari ordered as Hooktail and Gloomtail flew off. "Poisontail. I have a request for you."

"Hmm?"

"I would like you to take me somewhere. It's personal."

"Why can't you do it on your own?"

"I could, but where's the fun in that when I could ride on such a beautiful dragon like you?"

Poisontail chuckled. "Fair enough. By the way, mind if I have that young fellow over there as an in-flight snack?"

"You can do whatever you want with him." Yukari said, and then noticed a blinking white outline of Young Xehanort. "Hmm? Where did he go?"

"Let's just get going." Young Xehanort said, sitting on Poisontail's back.

"My my, someone can not take a joke." Yukari shook her head. "How embarrassing." She then hopped on Poisontail's back and Ansem got on after her. "Fly, my beautiful creature! FLY!"

Meanwhile, at Mario's House…

BGM: Super Pipe House (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)

Mario paced around his front yard, his hands behind his back as he was grumbling to himself. "Dude, will you relax? I'm sure whatever that guy said was trying to get under your skin." Marisa said, drinking a Mushroom Smoothie with Reimu on the front porch.

"I just can't help but worry. What kind of villain was he referring to?" Mario asked.

"This isn't healthy, ya know." Reimu said. "I say just forget about it. Everyone's worried about you ever since we came back from space."

"Agh, I know!" Mario sighed. "I don't know what's come over me all of a sudden."

"They sure did a number on us, so it's understandable if you're on edge, but why worry? I say just wait until the storm comes and then we can kick all their asses before dinner." Marisa said. "Kingdom Hearts doesn't even sound that threatening."

"I know, but-" Mario turned his head. "Did you hear that?"

End BGM

"Hear what?" Marisa asked.

"No, listen. I hear it too." Reimu said, putting her smoothie down, closing her eyes.

Marisa closed her eyes as well, focusing on the noise that seemed to be getting closer and closer. "The hell is that?" She whispered and then Reimu looked up, letting out a gasp.

"Up there!" She yelled as the two looked up and then a dragon came flying down and breathed poisonous fire, forcing them to jump out of the way while Mario's house exploded as a result and had burst into flames. The dragon landed on the ground and let out a roar.

BGM: More Danger! (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

"Hello Mario! So nice to see you again." Yukari smirked.

"Yukari? What are you doing on a dragon?" Marisa asked. "And why did you let it destroy Mario's house?!"

"Oh, that's right, you don't recognize me." Yukari smirked at Mario, ignoring Marisa's question and hopped down. She closed her eyes as Shadow Queen emerged out of Yukari's body, wrapping the body around her. "Recognize me now?"

Mario's eyes widened. "Shadow Queen?! How did you-"

"We brought her back." Ansem hopped off of the dragon, but Young Xehanort stayed on. "You're welcome."

Mario clenched his fists and then Shadow Queen retreated back into Yukari's body. "I defeated you once, I can defeat you again!"

"Oh, is that so? Can you do it without the Crystal Stars?" Yukari asked.

"I can try!"

"Well now… just so no one will interfere." Yukari aimed her hand at Marisa and Reimu, opening a gap behind them and then her shadow hands appeared behind them and pulled them in, closing the gap behind them. "There, now it's just you and me."

End BGM

Mario clenched his fists, bringing out his hammer with a glare. "Let's-a go!"

BGM: Shadow Queen Phase 2 (Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door)

Mario ran over to the Shadow Queen, jumping over and hammering her, but she grabbed his body with a Shadow Hand and shoved him into the ground, then she kicked him in the gut, which launched him back but he quickly shook off the pain. "Mmm! I haven't felt this lively in a long time!"

"You're about to not live much longer when i'm through with you!"

"How brash of you." She pulled out a spell card. "Double Black Death Butterfly." She chanted as danmaku shot out in front of her. "Oh, so that's how that works."

Mario traversed through the danmaku and swung his Ultra Hammer at Yukari, but she grabbed the hammer and swung it at Mario to send him flying. Mario quickly recovered and saw Yukari snapping the hammer in half. He let out a growl and ran straight for her, jumping over the stampede of mini shadow hands and then he punched her in the face, but she caught it with the palm of her hand.

"Oh Mario, you need to realize that I know all of your tricks!" She smirked and charged up an attack before unleashing her Shadowy Shockwave attack that launched him into the burning building. To her surprise, Mario absorbed all of the fire around him, his eyes glowing a rainbow-like aura.

"I gained a few more!" He exclaimed. "HEEEEYAAAAAAAAH!" He yelled, unleashing Mario Finale, but Yukari opened up two gaps and had the Mario Finale go behind her. Then she disappeared into a gap and then reappeared behind Mario. She tapped him on the shoulder as he turned around and kicked him in the knees. "Agh!" He cried and then Yukari picked him up by the neck.

BGM: The Fifth Laboratory (Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood)

"Oh my, don't tell me the fight is over already~" Yukari giggled, watching Mario squirm. "You know, you being my slave is still on the table."

"I would never... side with you!"

"Eh, it doesn't matter. I was still going to kill you if you sided with me anyway." She smirked.

"You... you won't kill me..."

"Let me guess, you have a 1-Up in your pocket?" She asked, opening up a gap and Mario's items fell into her hand, including a 1-Up. "Well, what do you know?" She smirked and then crushed the 1-Up in her hand, destroying it and throwing it into a bush. "There, now this will be more fun." She chuckled, and tightened her grip.

"Nnngh!"

Yukari chuckled darkly and threw him to a wall that was still standing from the fire. She walked over to him and pulled out her fan. "Look at you, you're not the hero you used to be." She chuckled, summoning her shadow hands so he wouldn't get away. "Farewell, Super Mario."

She swiftly swung her fan, blood splattering on her face as Mario's body fell limp, lifeless as blood dripped from his neck and the blood gently crawled through the burnt floor.

End BGM

Yukari stared at the lifeless body in front of her, smirking devillishly as thunder rolled in behind her and it started to rain. She then picked up Mario's cap before letting out a maniacal laugh before turning to her dragon, Ansem and Young Xehanort. "Come! We are just getting started." She said, opening up a gap big enough for Poisontail and they walked into the gap together.

At this moment, footsteps approached the burnt building. "We heard a dragon attacking Mario! I hope he's okay!" A Toad Guard exclaimed, as Luigi was with them.

"Please be okay, Mario... please be okay!" Luigi hoped as they saw the burnt building in front of them. He quickly went into the smoldering remains as did the Toads.

"Bedroom clear!"

"Kitchen clear!"

"Living room clear... at least, I think this is the living room!"

"Mario...?" Luigi saw Mario's corpse and gently knelt down. "Mario! Wake up! Mario! MARIO!" He yelled desperately, and then he finally noticed Mario's fatal wound, and then the blood on the floor. "No! NO! MAAAAAARIIIIOOOOOOOO!" He screamed, immediately going into a sobbing fit while the Guards noticed what happened.

"No..." A Toad Guard whispered as another guard gagged at the sight.

The third guard clenched his fists. "Alert the princess. She's not going to like this."

So, some of you may not know but in my original fic, Revenge of the Shadow Queen was dark. Really dark. In this remake, it's going to retain that darkness. So expect some heavy stuff.
