"Step aside, folks, your One True King is here! ..."
They cheer!
"...King Bowser!!!!"
They boo!! Some flee or freeze in terror!
"Hey, shut up! Get back here! I'm gonna save you all and clear the pipe back to Toad Town!! Don't forget to pay the toll to the kind Goombas down there to maintain the roads!!"
A faceless Crowd member in the back has none of it: "Fuck off, you scheming hack! I bet you're in on it with these X-guys!!"
Just as he says that, Skolar shoots up from the depths of the ice right next to the Home Pipe, causing the pipe to burst and flower out! The pipe is completely unusable now!! How will everybody pay the tolls n-? I mean... Get back home now?
Luigi is the last of the X-Force not defeated by the Crystal King yet. He leaves the fight and begins chasing Skolar down, trying to trap him in a jar... The Crystal King shoots an Icicle at Luigi, K.O.'ing him and ending the X-threat.
You step in and declare your intentions, and tell the Crystal King to relent. He will not. He explains you still owe him half a jar of peanut butter, and besides, Skolar has been helping him with projects around the Palace.
Skolar seems bummed. He flies high into the sky and shouts "ENOUGH!!"
He continues, "No more pointless fighting. We're making a wasteland of this beautiful area. Settle this through battle now if you must, and I will follow whoever is strongest. I may be a Star Spirit, but I'm only so powerful on my own. I won't be involved in fights or let innocent people be involved in unnecessary fights. For now, I'll follow the toughest. Leave the Crowd out of this and solve your issues, and I will help you."
