With his final swing of his Hammer striking right upon its head, the Chaos Piranha exclaimed a final roar of pain before falling backwards and slamming upon the ground in defeat. The floor shook by the mere weight, but after that, the creature did not continue to attack, just groan.
Diego could see that the black ooze started to glow. Drip by drip, it started to lift magically into the air before, in a flash of white, suddenly disappearing.
Rosalina came back, alongside Silver Luma, as well as many other rescued ones. Alongside them there's was also Venturous T. with them as well as some faces our hero did not recognized.
"Holy smokes. You managed to defeat that monster!!" Exclaimed the Toad, with many other of his brethren with him. Probably the trekking group he mentioned was trapped by the vile plant.
The Piranha suddenly started to shake and rustle, much to the Toad's fear. Was it still going? Even after all that?! However, their worries soon vanished when the monster was itself enveloped into a white light, apparently morphing until shifting into something else....
The light ceased, and to Diego's surprise the Chaos Piranha was gone; In its place was none other than Petey Piranha, straight out of all those Mario games.
"Wait. You mean all this time that thing was Petey Piranha?!" Exclaimed Venturous T.
Petey looked around at his surroundings. He seemed confused, as if he didn't know how did he get there. Luckily he seemed passive, not trying to attack anyone in the room.
"Perhaps that strange black goop turned him into that horrible monster." Rosalina added, "He seems much better now."
A yawn caught the attention of everyone. To their right appeared to be one last pod, still unopened, but with the black sludge gone, it quickly deteriorated and opened revealing someone who Diego did not expect.
It was a woman of white skin. Not as the normal type, like actually pure white!. Her hair was a soft black, almost grey, made into a ponytail. Her body was really fit, a lean and beautiful figure but also pretty obvious that she did a lot of exercise. She also wore a blue sleeveless top and some black yoga pants.
"Huh? I was wondering where our exercise instructor went. She was in the trek with us, after all." Said Venturous T. "Miss WFT, are you alright?"
Wii Fit Trainer, as Diego quickly realized, simply got up and stretched her body with a long yawn following. This stretching quickly went into a quick session of warm up stretched as she opened her eyes.
"Hm. Oh, good morning everyone." She said before stoping her exercises and looking around confused. "..Huh? Where are we? IS this the end of the trip?"
"Wait, you mean you don't remember, miss? We were heading here when those creepy vines attacked us!!" One of the Toads explained.
The fitness instructor simply rubbed the back of her head as she said, "I remember something hitting me on the back and everything went black. Since then, everything was making me sleepy, like keeping me asleep. But if you say its true, then thank you for helping me."
"Oh don't thank us, miss. It was the Princess here and most importantly this young fellow here!" Venturous T. explained. "We all thank him. He was a true hero!"
By that moment Diego's new armor disappeared into a poof of light, reverting back to his regular Gunner Armor.
"Well then. Nice to meet you. And thanks for helping us." Said Wii Fit Trainer. Offering her hand in a handshake to the boy.
Petey moved towards them, skipping and roaring happily. Rosalina giggled. "It seems Petey is trying to thank you too, Diego."
