“AAAHHHH!!” We continued to scream as we continued falling off the waterfall for what felt like forever. At this point, I wondered if this ride would end until somehow, we saw what looked like land, however, we weren’t prepared for the landing as we fell out of the boat and landed hard on the ground.

“OW, my ovaries!” Luigi exclaimed as every part of our body ached.

“I think I would have preferred sharp rocks to the rock-hard floor,” I said, but after a little while, we got back up on our legs and started to look around.

“Now where exactly are we?” Luigi asked as we looked around this room. It looked very fancy as there were marble walls, not to mention floors, fancy couches, and what looked like a huge screen.

“Seems like we’re in the VIP section,” I said as I saw a nearby window. “Wait a second, look at this!” I pointed to the view from the window as Luigi came over. “We seem to be higher up, yet we fell down a waterfall?” I asked.

“Well, you got me. By all accounts, it doesn't make sense,” Luigi said as we both felt a vibration from our poultergusts.

“I got this,” Luigi said as he pulled out the Virtual Boo and brought it to his face but this time, a worried look crossed his face as he dropped the Virtual Boo as it landed on the ground.

“What’s wrong?” I asked nervously.

“It said to look at the screen…I didn’t hear Egad's voice…” Luigi said and within seconds, the screen turned on and we froze at what we saw.

“Ahh, Luigi, so good to see you again after our last encounter, I see you brought a little weakling to assist you. How foolish,” Hellen said calmly. I saw from the corner of my eye that Luigi froze like he was in a block of ice, I could tell he was too scared to speak so I did what I had to do.

“Give it up Hellen! We’ve beaten every challenge you and King boo have thrown at us and we’ll defeat you as well, so give it up!” I exclaimed as Hellen let out a chuckle.

“Foolish…what was your name again? Oh right, Twilight Sparkle. Do you think you and this coward can defeat me? Us even? I will say, those are bold words from a horse, you, that scary cat, and that old professor will make a nice addition to the painting,” Hellen said with a smirk.

“What are you…no,” I said as Hellen revealed the Switchverse and held it in her hands.

“My darling Poulterkitty is wonders for retrieving things, she even found that secret base of yours, too bad we had to capture Egad again,” Hellen smirked.

“You may have captured Egad but you still haven’t beaten us, nor that butler, those sisters, or the groundskeeper, at least they were willing to show themselves!” I exclaimed.

“Hm, very well, if you want a fight, you and that scared green bean will have to find me, do try to make things entertaining for me, till then!” Hellen said as the screen turned off and returned to the wall, revealing two massive doors.

“They got Egad,” Was all Luigi could muster to say.

“We’ll get him back…we’ll get all of them back,” I said as I placed my hoof on his hand.

“You’re…you’re right, we can defeat her, I hope,” Luigi said we made our way to the giant doors and we opened them to reveal a massive hallway.

“These ghosts love their hallways,” I said as we stared to navigate this hallway.

“You should have seen the hallways I had to navigate the second time I battled King Boo,” Luigi said as we came across a door. We opened it to reveal what appeared to be a living room. “Hm, this feels…familiar,” Luigi said as he noticed what seemed to be some sort of fan. “I would have thought Hellen would up her game after last time,” Luigi said with a smirk as he started to turn the fan with his Poultergust. “You might want to stand back for this!” I then noticed that the floor was turning as I got closer to Luigi just as the floor turned to reveal some sort of key. “If my memory serves me correctly, we need to gather these keys to open up a secret door, I thought Hellen would put up more of a challenge this time,” Luigi said as I tried to touch the key, only for a laser to pop up and sting me.

“OW, I wasn’t expecting that!” I exclaimed as I held my hoof, trying to numb the pain.

“You’ll get used to it, there should be an off switch somewhere,” Luigi said as I saw right below the platform, this lever with a lightning bolt symbol.

“Could that be it?” I asked as I pointed to the level.

“That should be it, the only issue is that I don’t remember how to get to it, my memory isn’t giving me all the details,” Luigi said.

“I think I can help with that!” I said as I used my magic to get a tight hold on the lever and started pulling it down, not knowing what I was doing.

“Uh, Twilight, stop-” Luigi tried to say but it was too late as I had pulled the lever down. What I would soon figure out was that there was a reason why this room looked just like the last room Luigi had cracked on this last adventure of his. As I pulled the lever, I thought the lasers would turn off, instead all that happened was the door to the room soon became locked with no way out.

“Did it work?” I asked when I saw the look on Luigi’s face change to an expression I hadn’t seen on his face, anger.

“Wow, I can’t believe you thought I would reuse the same traps I had planned for you last time Luigi, you are such a phony. I hope this room serves you well, it’ll be both you and Twilight’s tombs once my poisonous gas fills the room, have fun!” An intercom with Hellen’s voice said.

“What have you done Twilight?”
