Chapter Text
-<........>-
Along the seas and waves that danced within the sea. A boat sails across with four figures on board.
There were two Toads that seemed to be talking with each other with a large origami castle by the side of the Green Toad and the other two were folded figures that were origami.
"Haha! All those flat paper folk will bask in our glory dear Sister!" The Origami with a crown on his head said. Allowing his purple origami robe to flow in the air of the seas.
"Oh I can't wait Olly! We can make so many new friends with flat paper folk!" The younger one cheered as she waved her arms with joy. With her little crown bouncing on top of her head.
"Well dear Olivia anyone meeting you is bound to like you." Olly complemented his sister.
" Father! How lively is this Origami Festival? How many flat paper folk will be basking in our great origami glory?" Olly said approaching one of the Toads on board.
Olivia joined her brother's side. "Yes! Dad! I want to know how many friends we'll make!" Olivia cheered with a sparkle in her eyes.
The Toad smiled at the Origami Siblings. "It'll be quite lively. Especially when they see you two."
"Heh! You got very lively kids yourself, Origami Craftsman." The other Toad on board steering the boat.
"Ahem! I am more then a kid! Wait I am not a kid at all! I am King Olly! The King Of Origami!" Olly boasted.
Olly grabbed his sister's arm and raised it up proudly. "And with my beloved Sister by my side. Nothing can beat us!"
"Yeah! Me and Olly. We're stronger together!" Olivia cheered.
The Origami Craftsman smiles at the two of them. "Well I am glad you two are excited."
Olly noticed a bag by Origami Craftsman's side. "Father what do you need that bag for?"
The Craftsman puts his hand inside of the bag and pulls out a stapler. "I never know when I need my crafting tools."
He puts the stapler back inside and they hear the Sea Captain yell out.
"Looks like we're closing into the docks you three!" The Sea Captain said.
"Oooh! Yay! Festival~ Festival~ Here we come!" Olivia cheered with a song like tune.
-<........>-
After getting off the boat and waving goodbye to the Sea Captain. The Origami Craftsman was pushing the origami castle on a trolley cart carefully trying to make sure it didn't fall off.
"Hmm so this is Toad Town? That Father talked about?" Olly said looking around.
Olivia's eyes sparkled. "This is so exciting! I can't wait to learn more about the outside!" Olivia waved her arms with joy.
They notice their Father struggling to push the trolley cart up the steps.
They decided to help him push it up and open the gate at the top. "Phew...Thank you, Olly and Olivia."
While pushing along the trolley cart to the center of Toad Town. Seeing origami folded across town. Paper cranes,rabbits,boats,sword, and many more.
But nobody was around. It was like a ghost town and the origami looked like it was left untouched.
"This is strange." The Origami Craftsman said.
"Hmm?" Olly and Olivia said together curious on what he ment.
"There's nobody here. We should at least met someone." The Origami Craftman looked around from where he stood but he saw nobody around except Olly and Olivia.
"Hmm I know!" Olivia said.
"Me and Olly will go and look for someone! Then you can set up the origami castle."
"Yes brilliant idea Sister." Olly said.
"Have no worries Father we'll find someone. They could explain what's going on." Olly and Olivia float away.
-<........>-
"Found anyone Olivia?"
"No. Nobody Olly."
Olivia floated over to Olly disappointed.
"Hmm. Father said this place was lively. But there is nobody around..." Olly says out loud.
"Hmm maybe they're having a party before having the Origami Festival." Olivia suggested.
"Could be bu-"
"AAAAHHHH!!!" A scream rang out.
Olly and Olivia flinched at the sound.
"T-That was..." Olivia shaked.
"Father!" Olly grabbed his sister by her arm.
"Come on Olivia we must make haste!"
And the Origami Siblings make their way quickly back towards the Origami Craftsman.
-<........>-
Once they reached the center of Toad Town they saw the origami castle knocked over and the Origami Craftsman's bag open on the ground. But no sign of the Origami Craftsman anywhere.
"D-Dad...What happened..." Olivia said with terror in her voice.
Olly went over to the fallen origami castle. "Who dares do this? What happened here..."
Olly then turns to the bag and has a look inside of it.
"Huh this is strange."
Olivia tilts her head floating over towards her brother. "What do you mean Brother?"
"Father's crafting tools... They're gone." Olly answered.
Olivia face turned to shock. "HUH!? But who would take Dad's crafting tools?!"
"Most likely the same one who took Father and ruined the origami castle."
"WHOEVER DID THIS SHALL FACE THE WRATH OF THE ORIGAMI KING!!!" Olly yelled.
"Yeah! We'll show them Olly!" Olivia yelled out as well.
But then both of them were hit from the ground and sent right onto the ground with a slam.
They struggled to get up from the impact but...
Next was darkness...
-<........>-
Ugghh... What happened..?
"Hey do you think they're ok?" An unknown voice said.
"Probably not."
"Hey! They're waking!"
Olly opened his eyes to see a Koopa Troopa, a Spike, a Buzzy Beetle,a Hammer Bro and a Goomba looking down at him.
"Whhaat?" Olly said still a bit confused.
"Well it's good you're awake now." The Koopa Troopa said.
"You and that Origami Girl almost made a grand entrance with you falling in here." Olly finally snaps out of it.
"Wooo... The world is spinning brootther..." Olly quickly helped his sister up.
"Olivia you alright!?" Olivia nodded.
Olivia shakes her head. "So you're the flat paper folk we're looking for!"
Olivia tilts her head. "What you doing in here?"
"Oh! This is the waiting lounge obviously!" One of them answered.
Both Olly and Olivia tilted their heads to the side confused.
"Waiting lounge?" The Origami Siblings say together confused.
"Correct! It is an upgrade from the last festival I attended. I love the dungeon theme it's going for."
"Sure..." Olly said bluntly.
"Anyway have you seen Master Bowser? It's not like him to ditch us minions at public events like this."
Both Olly and Olivia tilted their heads to the side confused. "Who?"
All the minions looked at them in shock. "WHAAT!? YOU DON'T KNOW WHO LORD BOWSER IS!?"
"Ahem. No is he someone we should know?" Olly asked.
"Well he's our fearsome king!" Olly perked up at the word 'king'.
"Oh! Another King? How interesting."
"Umm excuse me." Olivia spoke up.
"Have any of you seen someone called the Origami Craftsman?"
They all shake their heads. And Olivia looks down at the ground disappointed.
The door of the dungeon slammed open startling everyone in the room. And in came some Shy Guys but...They looked off...Folded up like origami similar to Olly and Olivia.
"CoMe WiTh Us..." One of them spoke in a eerie voice.
The minions follow the strange Shy Guys with the Goomba happily talking about meeting a Toad.
Olly and Olivia went to follow them but were stopped by the folded Shy Guys.
"NoT yOu tWo..." It spoke.
The Goomba stopped and spoke. "Hey! Don't worry you two I'll say hi to the Toads for you!"
And the Goomba continues following the others and the door was closed with a slam behind them.
"What do we do now Olly?" Olivia waved her arms in a panic.
"Hmm what can we do?" Olly heads over to door and tries to pull it open.
Olly pulled with all his might. As much as his folded body would allow.
"It won't budge." Olly looked down at the ground annoyed.
"YOU STUPID DOOR!" Olly charged at the door but it didn't open at all.
"Ugghh..." Olly slides down the door and onto the floor.
Olivia floated over to her brother. "Come on Brother! Get up we can find a way out."
She pulls her brother up. "After all it's like in books I read that Dad gave us. Dungeons have those secrets and stuff right?"
"Hmm yeah it cou-"
"Olly...Olivia...Those are your names right?" A unknown voice spoke out to them.
Olly and Olivia quickly look around in suprise for where the voice was coming from.
"Right...I am confusing the two of you...But I need your help. I am trapped between dimensions or something like that..."
"Hmm what does that voice even mean Olly? In between dimensions?" Olivia tilted her head to the side.
"Hmm." Olly lifted his hair up to get a better look of the room. "I sense something about this room. Like magic."
Olivia perked up. "Magic?" Olly approached the wall.
Once Olly reached the wall a bright orange glow appears under where Olly was floating and it was a circle with a hand mark on it.
"W-what was that!? Did you two do something?!"
"Huh that's a Magic Circle!" Olivia exclaimed.
"A Magic Circle...?" The voice asked confused.
"Have no worries Mr Voice! With this Magic Circle's power we shall free you from your imprisonment!" Olly said proudly.
"Olivia! I shall use the power of the Magic Circle I'll need you to lend it your energy for it to work."
"O-Oh! Yes got it Olly!" Olly floated over the Magic Circle as he heavily focused Olivia lended it her energy and then.
Olly's arms become long,folded, and stretchy.
"Ok! What is going on out there!?" The voice yelled out confused.
"Have no worries you'll be out in a moment!" Olivia yelled to the voice.
Olly moved around his folded arms to at feel for at least something.
And he did. It was a loose peice of wallpaper.
And with a heavy tug he pulled the wallpaper clean off. And what was pressed up against the wall was someone in green clothing and wearing a green hat with the letter 'L' on it.
He fell to ground once freed.
Olly and Olivia go to help him up but he pushes them aside as he gets up on his own.
"I'm fine..." He said looking at the two of them.
"Thank you for getting me out of that in between dimension.
"I'm pretty sure that's just a wall." Olly said bluntly.
"Oh right." The stranger said.
"Sooo who are you?" Olivia asked with curiosity.
"Luigi..." He bluntly answered.
"Oooh. Luigi? That's a nice name I'm Olivia!" Olivia cheered with a bright voice.
"Ahem and I am King Olly! The King Of Origami!" Olly said with a prideful voice.
"King of Origami?" Luigi glared at the two of them.
"Hey um what's with that look?" Olivia asked.
"Don't play dumb. You two are responsible for this whole mess!" He points his finger at them.
Olly pushes it away. "No! We got knocked out and woke up here!"
"Likely story!"
"What's with this rude attitude!? This no way to speak to royalty!" Olly yelled.
Olivia got in between them. "Hey! Don't fight!"
"Umm...Luigi we really aren't responsible for any of this. We came here for the Origami Festival with our Dad but no one was there..."
"So me and my Brother went to search for others. We heard our Dad in trouble but went we got back he was gone...Then we woke up here!"
Olivia waved her arms. "It's the truth! If we really were bad why would we be in this dungeon and help you out!?"
"...Fine." Luigi said.
"Well then. Shall we find our way out?" Olly said.
"Oh yeah! Let's go Brother and Luigi!" As both Origami Siblings quickly start searching the room.
"Hey! Look at this!" Olly and Luigi head over to where Olivia is to see her holding some origami.
One of the origami was a folded hammer and the other was a folded sword.
"Interesting. Olivia may I have the sword?" Olly asked.
"Of course Olly." His sister passes the origami sword to him.
"Heh. Perfect for a King." Olly holds the sword proudly as he decides to swing it around a bit.
"How's this going to help us?" Luigi asked.
"Hmm..." Olivia thinks for a moment and her eyes spot the crates.
"I got a hunch." Olivia holds up her newly found origami hammer and smashes it into the crates and smash them into pieces.
"Haha! I knew my hunch is right! Look!" Olivia points to the hole in the wall.
"Of course it was Olivia." Olly pulls Olivia to his side.
"Together nothing can hurt us!" Olly cheered raising the origami sword he has.
Luigi looks off to side seeing the siblings cheer together.
"Now let's give who threw us in here a piece of our mind!" Olly charged forward waving the origami sword.
"Well isn't he reckless." Luigi said.
"Well my Brother means well. He is just worried about Dad." Olivia said.
Olivia waves her arms with joy. "So let's going Luigi!" Olivia follows after her brother.
Luigi sighed "I just hope the Princess is ok..."
And then he followed after the Origami Siblings.
