《Origami King: The After-Fold》Man In Black & Green

----------------
Mr.L ran through the heavily forested area outside the Mario bros. home towards the town. Mario and Luigi watched as he left in a hurry.
"Why do you think he wanted to see Olly and Olivia?" Luigi asked.
Mario shrugged his shoulders and sighed.
"I don't know and I don't really care as long as the fate of the world isn't in danger again." Mario groaned.
Mario walked back inside as Luigi remained by the door.
"I have a feeling it will be..." Luigi muttered.
--------------
Olly and Olivia were now in the Origami Craftsman's workshop underground. Olly stared at the small origami castle with a distant expression of regret. Olivia bounced in her seat as the Craftsman took his own chair.
"Can I get you two anything?" The Toad asked.
"No thank you!" Olivia chirped.
"Please, we just want to know where our paper came from," Olly said, peeling his attention away from the small castle.
The Craftsman sighed.
"I didn't actually FIND your papers, they were given to me." The Craftsman explained.
Olly and Olivia gasped.
"It was almost a year before the Origami Festival was going to take place. I was at the market in Toad Town getting supplies. Scissors, staples, tape, and also paper. But just as I was about to leave..."
----------------
The Origami Craftsman strolled down the street in Toad Town, carrying two bags full of supplies with him. Everywhere was bustling with people who wanted to get their hands on crafting supplies.
The Craftsman, along with every other Toad, walked along until...
BANG!!!
Everyone turned to face the noise. A large explosion had just been set off by the marketplace!
While everyone remained frozen, staring up at the cloud of smoke, a man in a black jumpsuit ran in from the direction of the scene. The Origami Craftsman saw him through the corner of his eyes.

"Hey! You! Did you cause that?!" The Craftsman shouted.
The man just kept running. No one else seemed to be able to peel their eyes away from the explosion, so the Origami Craftsman chased after him. He ran down a back alley and the Craftsman was starting to catch up to him. It was a dead end.
"Hey! Why were you running from a crime scene?!" The Craftsman demanded.
Shouting and yelling could be heard from the streets. The man pulled out a bag.
"Alright, I don't have time for this." He muttered.
He pulled out two pieces of paper and thrust them into the Toad's arms.
"You didn't get these from me, okay?" He stated, "These are 'completely normal' papers, got it? And I WILL be back for them."
The Craftsman nodded meekly, thinking he was being threatened. The man in black and green then lept over the wall with one bound, leaving the stunned Toad to himself.
A few moments later, a few odd-looking dark-skinned Toads came running his way.
"Hey!" One of them exclaimed, "Have you seen a man in black and green come this way?"
The Origami Craftsman quickly hid the two papers from view and shook his head no. The Toad grunted in frustration.
"He got away! Keep searching!" They commanded.
The group ran off and the Craftsman heaved a sigh of relief. He decided to get a better look at the papers. He pulled them out and looked them over.
One was a bright yellow, and the other a beautiful royal purple.
----------------
Olly and Olivia sat in silence.
"I don't know what that explosion was from, if that man caused it, or anything else. You two were quite literally thrust into my care. It wasn't until later when I decided to fold Olly out of one of those pieces." The Craftsman explained.

"The man said that he would come back for us?" Olivia asked.
The Toad nodded.
"Did he ever return?" Olly asked.
"I didn't ever see him again. But that doesn't mean he didn't come looking." The Craftsman replied, "After all, I was trapped in the wall for..."
Olly visibly winced at the reminder that he trapped the Origami Craftsman in the wall.
"But that's all in the past, Olly!" The Craftsman quickly said.
Olly nodded sadly.
"Another reason why I wish to find where I came from. Where WE came from." Olly stated.
The Craftsman got up and hugged them.
"It doesn't matter where you come from, it only matters what you do about it." The Toad told them, "But I shall not deny you the right to know where you came from. When I saw the man in black and green it was in the back streets of Toad Town, near the market."
"Maybe, it was the same person that refolded us and dropped us off at Mario and Luigi's!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Then we have no time to lose," Olly claimed.
He let go of them and they started towards the door, saying their goodbyes.
"I'm sorry that we had to leave so soon!" Olivia told him.
"No problem, Olivia." The Craftsman told her, "As long as you are both safe."
"Thank you for welcoming me back," Olly said.
"Of course."
Olivia folded herself into the Water Vellumental and they flew off back to the harbor.
----------------
They landed on the shore and started walking into Toad Town, Olivia aiding Olly with the walk.
"Um... Brother?"
"Hm?"
"Where is the market?" Olivia asked.
"Haha, good question," Olly replied, "We should ask a local."
They spotted a red-spotted Toad walking towards them. Olivia helped Olly hobble over to them.
"Hello, Toadstool. Could you possibly point my sister and me towards the market?" Olly asked.
"U-uh, there's a market over there..." The Toad said, pointing down the road.
"Thank you," Olly replied.
The Toad quickly hurried off as Olivia and Olly started towards the market.
"I think you spooked him a little, brother..." Olivia chuckled.
Olly sighed.
"I noticed..." Olly muttered.
They eventually made their way to the market. It was a colorful scene, bustling to the brim with people. There were papers of every shape, size, color, and much more.
"Ooh! Everything is so pretty! I can't believe we were found here!" Olivia exclaimed.
"We weren't found here, we were given to him in the back alleys, remember?" Olly said.
"Oh, yeah!" Olivia chuckled.
Olly sighed as they walked into the center area.
"So... What are we supposed to do now?" Olivia asked.
"I don't know..." Olly murmured.
"Hey! You two origami kids!"
Olly and Olivia spun around to the owner of the voice. A small group of what looked like dark-skinned Toadstools were approaching them fast.
"Us?" Olivia asked.
"Are those... Toads?" Olly questioned, "They look sickly."
They stood frozen as the small group weaved through the crowd. All of a sudden, a man in black and green grabbed ahold of them by the arms and started pulling them along.
"Come on!" Mr.L exclaimed, "Those D-Men are after the three of us and we can't let them catch up!"
"D-Men?!" Olivia screeched.
