Story
Chapter 1: The Shadow Wedding
Part 10-1: It Seems Someone Insta—SOMEBODY SET UP US THE BOMB
After an exposition of events prior, the day of the wedding between Noshum and Vivian began. Team TOT was invited, but were unable to attend due to Pokemon Platinum 3: Time, Space and Darkness, so instead the PMTTYD partners, Doopliss, Chibi, Sub and Sneezier were there. Once the wedding began, everything went smoothly until it neared the end when Beldam and Marilyn interrupted it with a bomb, which exploded and caused chaos.
Part 10-2: Enter the Shadow
When the chaos subsided, the wedding was ruined, and Noshum realized Vivian was gone! The other PMTTYD partners were missing as well, and Noshum fired they brought them through Palace of Shadow, due to it being the only way to the Shadow Dimension as of then. Thus they headed there and began to go through the palace, fighting against random creatures such as Yo-Yo Chomps. At the end, they found a portal, which they went inside to the Shadow Dimension.
Part 10-3: “We could’ve started an angry mob!”
When they arrived in the Shadow Dimension, they went to Shadow Town to try and see if anyone had seen Beldam. One Shadow Creature did, and said she was going to the Crystal Shrine, so the group hurried there. Just before they got to it, however, they were attacked by Frob and Bread, who were working for the Shadow Sirens, and began to fight. Meanwhile, in the Crystal Shrine, Vivian was being held against her will as Beldam prepared to begin her plan. In the Guardian Room, the heroes fought against Frob and Bread, defeating them, and then made their way into the shrine.
Part 10-4: The Shadow Wedding
When they smashed down the door to the Crystal Shrine and got in, they found what looked like some sort of wedding; Vivian was on one side, and a Shadow Creature similar to Prince Peasley, Shadow Prince. Also near Vivian was a Shadow Creature with messy, white hair, Ichy, who was apparently hypnotizing Vivian to say "I do". They tried to stop it, but were too late and a burst of dark energy appeared, creating the Crystal Ztar. Beldam was about to take it when Chibi tried to attack her, and then Sub used a small Erishkigal to blow the Crystal Ztar to pieces. The shards magically flew away.
Beldam, Marilyn, and all the other Shadow Creatures then escaped, taking Vivian with them. Sneezier complained about the seven-piece hunt when Sub revealed he had managed to get one, but Noshum said that it was filled with evil energy, not just dark. Thus, they decided to find the other pieces and prevent them from being put together. Sub used the shard to locate the next shard, though, which was at Shadow Fields, so they hurried off to find it.
Chapter 2: Flowers in the Dark Fields
Part 10-5: Flower Power
Once they arrived in the Shadow Fields, they had a botany lesson and then the Shadow Prince appeared. He formally introduced himself, and then Noshum went into a rage when he called Vivian his Shadow Princess. The two Shadow Creatures with him brought forth the Moonflower, a carnivorous plant, which attacked them. During the fight, it ate Chibi, but then Chibi blasted it from the inside as a Bob-ulk. They then continued to find the next shard.
Part 10-6: B-Part
They found a massive beehive, or, biihive, hive of the biiz according to Noshum. The shard was in there, so they headed in, but found the Queen Bii had declared no outsiders shall ever come inside. Doopliss tried to trick them as another warrior bii, but because their shift wasn't over for two hours, they waited until tomorrow since it was late as it was. The next day Chibi and Doopliss tried to sneak in, but they made a slip up, revealing themselves, so Sub simply hit them with Flame Wall and then hurried in.
As soon as they entered the hive, more warrior biiz began to come after them, so Doopliss poofed into a bubble plant to put them all in bubbles and get over the honey pools. It didn't seem to help much, as the biiz fired stingers at them, but then Sneezier told everyone to blow into the mic and they were magically pushed through the honey, eventually reaching the basement of the hive where they found a single bii. This bii was named birt and found out from him the queen recently got a shard and started becoming like a tyrant. All the biiz work for her without question, except Birt, who is one of the few who thinks for himself. They decided they had to get to the queen and get the shard away from her.
Part 10-7: 1576 Combat is Dumb
Doopliss and Chibi became warrior biiz again while Sub used Sprocyst on himself, Noshum and Sneezier to make them mushrooms. When they tried to get into the queen's chambers, however, they weren't allowed in until Doopliss called one of the biiz "Zlick" causing it to believe Doopliss was someone named "Dooplizz" that he knew and owed a favor, so Zlick let them through.
When they got into the chambers, they found Goombella was stuck in honey there. They tried to get the queen to get rid of the shard, but she refused, and said they were "conzpiratorz". The battle started out badly, with Noshum, Sub and Sneezier still mushrooms, but after they poofed back into themselves... things still weren't going well. They were going to go for a Team Attack, but were attacked before they could start discussing it. Topmonhit said he'd copy Wary instead, then Sneezier, which made the characters yell at him.
They were attacked again, and then they started arguing which caused Noshum to blast fire all around, knocking them away, to calm them down. The battle continued on, but they still did horribly, getting stuck in honey, but finally Birt pulled the shard off her head. With that, she was free, and gave the heroes the shard so it wouldn't control her anymore.

Trivia
- The story as an abnormally large amount of references to The 1576 Kingdom Novel; the fact that Noshum is a main character in that may have somethin to do with it.
- Pokemon Platinum 3: Time, Space and Darkness was (mostly) going on at the same time as this story; ironically, the end of that story featured a collab with The 1576 Kingdom Novel, which meant Noshum appeared in both stories.
- The ending of the story, where Beldam and Marilyn renounce their evil ways, was never planned until that very part was being made.
Connections to Other Stories
- This story continues The Shadow Sirens' quest to bring the Shadow Monarchy back, which was defeated in The Shadows Cometh (Or Something Lousy Like That). It also technically ends it, though the Shadow Prince vows revenge.
- Noshum gave Vivian the wedding ring at the end of the '07 Holiday Special: How the Angry Scientist Stole a Christmas Carol.
